The wind

Seeing that everyone seemed to hesitate, Lou Beiyin repeated: "Yuying committed suicide, Sixth Young Master and Mrs. Zeng can rest assured."

Everyone gathered around and saw the curled up black lump thrown by Lou Beiyin: "What is this?"

"Tongue." Lou Beiyin uttered this word briefly, then took out a handkerchief from nowhere, wiped off the dirt on her hands, and said while wiping, "Everyone thinks that she was murdered when they saw the woman's strange posture. In fact, this maid killed herself by biting her tongue. She wanted to swallow the severed tongue, but unfortunately she choked into the trachea and died of suffocation. There was a blood clot in her mouth and throat, and the blood that flowed out was just like the eighth young master said. It was raining again on the stone slab, but there was no trace to follow. Judging by the stiffness of her body, she must have died today, but it has been several hours, and her posture is so weird, I guess..."

"The lower official guessed that she regretted it, but she couldn't take out the severed tongue, and drowned to death."

"As for the dent at the back of her head, it should have been caused by a bump in her childhood. As for why no one has noticed that she has such a defect, it must be because she usually combs her hair higher and put something under it." Lou Beiyin ordered people to go to the Begonia Pavilion to break off the branches and parted Yuying's hair, and there was indeed a piece of black cloth, "So, the official thinks that she has killed herself."

Hearing what Lou Beiyin said, everyone present sighed.Li Yunyi took a long breath and said: "Forget it, thank you Lord Lou. Why is Yuying so overwhelmed? Come, someone can bury her body alive, and then send some money to her family. The two adults were shocked, so please trouble Lord Lou to find out." I'm sorry, Mr. Li didn't entertain you very well." After saying that, he apologized to everyone.

Seeing Li Yunyi's words here, Mrs. Zeng's complexion eased a lot, and she also said: "I've spoiled the interest of the two adults, and my concubine's discipline is not good enough. I'm really sorry. Find a Taoist priest to do it another day. I'm really sorry." That's bad luck."

Lou Bei groaned: "Don't dare, it was Mr. Lu who told the lower officials that there was a difference in the mouth and mouth, and the lower officials boldly stepped forward to take a look. If it wasn't for Mr. Lu's words, they wouldn't be able to find it here."

Lu Hongqiu didn't deny it, stroked his beard, and said twice ashamed.

The three talked politely again, Li Yunyi wanted to lead Lu Lou and the two to continue eating elsewhere, and before they left, they winked at Qu Yeliang, asked the maidservant to serve Madam Zeng well, and ordered his servants to move Yuying's body , and finally called Li Zhongnan.Li Zhongnan didn't feel that there was anything wrong, so he answered a sentence and then came.

The crowd dispersed, but Xiao Zhouheng did not move into the front hall with the others, remembering the matter of asking Yuying after meeting her yesterday, he suddenly knew why Yuying would cause trouble to her upper body, and the strange feeling in her heart came up again .In order to confirm his guess, Xiao Zhouheng felt that it was necessary to have a closer look at Yuying's corpse. When he raised his eyes, he found that Li Zhongnan was already beside the corpse at some point, and he was surprised: "Master Eighth?"

Li Zhongnan looked back at Xiao Zhouheng, his thin face became paler and colorless, he half-closed his eyes and said, "Mr. Jueyan, why don't you go back?"

"Didn't the Eighth Young Master go back too?"

"That's right." Li Zhongnan chuckled, "Mr. Jue Yan is waiting for me?"

"what?"

"So it wasn't." Li Zhongnan tilted his head pretending to be sympathetic, "Is there someone in Mr. Jue Yan's family who is a coward? Can autopsy be performed?"

Xiao Zhouheng was angry, Li Zhongnan beat around the bush and said that he was lowly, due to his identity, Xiao Zhouheng had no choice but to say in a muffled voice: "No." He sincerely felt that Li Zhongnan couldn't say anything good , if I was in the same place with him, I don't know what else to say to tease myself, besides, this is the harem where the women's family lives, so it's not appropriate to stay too long, so Xiao Zhouheng turned around and left.

"Mr. Jue Yan, come and take a look." Li Zhongnan suddenly called Xiao Zhouheng over.

Hearing Li Zhongnan's call, Xiao Zhouheng could only bite the bullet and retreat, squatting beside Li Zhongnan.Holding the lantern borrowed from the attendants, Li Zhongnan ordered a few attendants to go down first, but others feared that he was the eighth young master, so they had to obey.Seeing several attendants dispersed, Li Zhongnan turned Yuying's stiff body over, only to hear a strange sound under Yuying's skirt, Li Zhongnan reached out to peel off the skirt.

Xiao Zhouheng took advantage of the light to explore, accompanied by the unbearable stench, he was so surprised that he was at a loss for words: a black sandalwood paperweight was inserted in the middle of Yu Yingguang's slightly stiff legs, and his lower body seemed to have been violently hit several times. - Ya is ferocious and extremely unbearable.

Xiao Zhouheng glanced at it, and his stomach was filled with sour water again. Although he had never seen a dead person before, Xiao Zhouheng felt an unspeakable strangeness in his heart when he saw the smashed lower body of a familiar person at such a close distance.

He wanted to throw up.

Li Zhongnan carefully pulled out the paperweight and measured it slightly with his hands. It was more than eleven inches long, two inches wide and one inch thick.After carefully reading the words engraved on it, he turned his head and said to Xiao Zhouheng: "This ambition is unstoppable, Ling Yin Qingtian, Mr. Jueyan, please don't tell me that that villain is your fan."

Since Xiao Zhouheng saw the paperweight's face - although he couldn't see it, it must be very bad.

"That is indeed Xiaosheng's paperweight." Xiao Zhouheng stared at the black paperweight, and by the light of the fire, Xiao Zhouheng saw clearly the three characters "Xiaoshuting" engraved on the paperweight, and the words rolled up and down with difficulty in his throat After a while, it seems that I can only hear it by myself: "No..."

"I understand. You didn't kill the person, so Mr. Jueyan shouldn't be able to do such a self-inflicted trap." Li Zhongnan took a deep look at Xiao Zhouheng, and smiled, "If it's really you, I must definitely There will be a better plan."

Li Zhongnan's smile made Xiao Zhouheng shudder even more, only to hear Li Zhongnan say again: "It's just a joke, Mr. Jueyan doesn't have to be so nervous."

Xiao Zhouheng was speechless, why in this situation, he naturally didn't understand how this fellow could still make a joke.

"When did you lose your paperweight?" Li Zhongnan finally put an end to this embarrassing topic, turned his head, groped and pressed on Yuying's body, thought for a while, and finally put his hand on Tan Yuying's back spoon, Fu made a comparison with the paperweight again, and continued, "Although Yuying's congenital defect is true, there is still a pustule on the back of the spoon. According to this trace, Yuying was severely injured by this object and died."

"I used it at noon, probably after I left the mansion." Xiao Zhouheng lost his self-effacing words at some point, "There is only one maid in my room, ask her to ask?"

"I guess she can't ask anything. When I was eating lunch, she was already embroidering with Bishan in my room."

"So that person saw that there was no one in my room, sneaked in and stole the paperweight to kill Yuying?" Xiao Zhouheng trembled uncontrollably, if he suspected that he had killed Yuying, he would be kicked out of the house sooner or later, but, I can't leave Li's mansion yet.

"It's hard to say, don't worry about it." Li Zhongnan looked around and saw a few young men who hadn't gone far not far away looking here, "Sixth brother won't do anything to you, didn't I just say , you went to Jiaofang Division."

"You." Xiao Zhouheng didn't know what was going on in his heart.

"Even if I don't mention it, I can clear Mr. Jueyan's suspicion by asking the gatekeeper and the horse boy." Li Zhongnan smiled. Can testify."

"However, if someone insists on framing you, it will be hard to say." After speaking, Li Zhongnan swept Yuying's body again.Although there were no obvious scars on the front, there were still some water stains on the face and dress due to the accumulated water on the stone slab.There was no mud on the soles of Yuying's shoes, only grass clippings mixed with ash adhering to the surface.Li Zhongnan winked at Xiao Zhouheng, Xiao Zhouheng sighed secretly, stretched out his hand to buckle off some of the gray powder on Yuying's shoe, and stretched it out in front of Li Zhongnan.

Li Zhongnan probed with his hand, put it under his nose and sniffed, and said, "How could it be?"

Xiao Zhouheng didn't know where Li Zhongnan's word "how could" come from, but he felt gusts of wind blowing from behind, piercing into his long coat one by one.Looking at Yuying's corpse and Li Zhongnan's dignified expression, Xiao Zhouheng faintly felt that the death of this maidservant had a taste of conspiracy. Let’s report to the officer.”

Xiao Zhouheng knew that this remark was stupid and stupid, but at this moment, he didn't know what to do.

Li Zhongnan, who was concentrating on watching the corpse beside him, didn't respond, Xiao Zhouheng wanted to force himself to calm down, but his mind was in chaos, and his trembling hands were beyond his control.Suddenly a ball of warmth covered Xiao Zhouheng's palm.

"Mr. Juyan." I saw Li Zhongnan lightly touching Xiao Zhouheng with his fingertips, "I'm here, don't be afraid."

The temperature from the palm of the hand seemed to be more scorching. It followed Xiao Zhouheng's meridian and reached to the heart. The temperature with soothing power made Xiao Zhouheng calm down, so he responded lightly.

Li Zhongnan then pulled Xiao Zhouheng to stand up, and said softly: "Mr. Jue Yan, I will definitely clear the suspicion for you."

Seeing that Li Zhongnan was still holding his hand, Xiao Zhouheng was quite unnatural, so he hurriedly withdrew his hand, and moved away from Li Zhongnan.

Li Zhongnan chuckled, and stopped caring about Xiao Zhouheng, and bent down to investigate on his own.

Xiao Zhouheng stood aside, looked at Li Zhongnan for a while, and finally couldn't help asking: "Master Eighth, did you know that I went to Jiaofang Division just because of the smell on my clothes?"

Li Zhongnan didn't seem to hear the loneliness in Xiao Zhouheng's voice: "Of course not, I went with you."
