Everyone owes me a favor

In the grove, only the disciples guarding the scene and a pool of dark purple blood seeped into the soil remained.

The place is close to water, the land is soft, and there are forests. The soil is wet all year round. There are no less than a dozen people's footprints overlapping, which looks messy.

Feng Ruyuan wore a single mirror and walked around the scene.

Feng Rugu asked Ruyi: "Have you seen something?"

Ruyi is looking down at half a footprint: "...um."

Feng Rugu clicked his tongue, and gently pressed his knee against his back: "Just tell me when you see it."

Ruyi frowned: Someone died here just now, how could he be so undignified and still carefree here.

Ruyi stood up: "The dead and the murderer were acquainted."

Feng Rugu looked into his eyes and motioned for him to continue talking.

Ru a slightly startled.

This feeling is inexplicably familiar, just like how many years ago, his adoptive father always looked at him like this, encouraging him to say "thank you" to others.

Ruyi quickly regained consciousness. He pointed to a pair of footprints next to the bloodstain, and said succinctly: "Half an inch deep, seven inches long, and the soles of the shoes have valley patterns. These are the footprints left by the deceased.... He once stood here, facing To the murderer, but he did not make any defensive actions such as retreating."

Feng Ruyuan deliberately tested him: "Then it is possible that the other party ambushed on the tree, waited for a long time, the sword is fast, and he saw the timing, and killed him with one blow?"

Ruyi said: "If so, he should maintain a hurrying posture, with one foot in front and one foot behind."

...and the footprints on the ground are two feet standing side by side.

That is to say, after seeing the approaching person, the deceased stood firm, but did not take any defensive measures, and was killed afterwards.

"Acquaintances..." Feng Rugu scratched the tip of his nose lightly with his thumb, lowered his eyes to think for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Hey, little Hongchen, if you see Haijing or a disciple of the same level as you, how do you salute?" ah."

"I don't know how to salute, just nod and pass by..."

As soon as he answered, Ruyi was taken aback, and turned to look at Feng Rugu, just in time to see him wink slyly at him.

Ruyi turned his face immediately, and spoke a little faster: "...Only when facing high-level officials, hall masters, and abbots, do you need to stand still and salute."

……Yes.

Su Ping, the disciple who was killed, walked through the grove and was about to return to Jianchuan. In the woods, he met a familiar person with a higher status than him, so he stood with his feet together and saluted respectfully.

Perhaps it was when he was saluting that the other party suddenly attacked the killer, and he was unable to guard against it, so he died here.

Feng Ruzhi leaned against the tree, tilted his head and looked at Ruyi: "There are people who take advantage of people's unpreparedness and cut their throats with a sword, and they are in high positions... There are not many people like this in Jianchuan. Now I have someone in my heart, I don't know Does Master Ruyi have someone in his heart?"

This question was normal, but Ruyi's heart skipped a beat for no reason.

He didn't know why his heart felt a little sore, but when he was in a state of uncertainty, he calmed down and asked back: "Mr. Yunzhong should have it."

Feng Ruyu raised his eyebrows, pointing to the half footprint that Ru Fang had just measured: "This footprint is narrow and small, and the embroidered patterns on the soles of the feet are precious flowers that women love to use."

Such as one: "The status is precious, and the swordsmanship is outstanding. When a disciple sees it, he must stand up and salute."

Feng Rugu continued: "...and you can afford such precious spices as Ningxixiang."

The two looked at each other and said in unison: "Baishengmen, I wish the Ming Dynasty."

When the two returned to Jianchuan, it was already after midnight.

Feng Rugu came back with Ruyi on his back, and he slept soundly on his shoulders, and didn't even wake up when he returned to Jianchuan, and from time to time he rubbed around honestly.

Sang Luojiu, who was waiting in the yard, stepped forward to say hello: "Scholar Ruyi, why did you come back so late?"

Ruyi said: "I went to Qingping Mansion."

Sang Luojiu didn't look surprised: "Is the letter fake or real?"

If you take a look at him, your understanding of Feng Rugu's disciple is getting better: "Su Ping has both parents."

...It really is a fake.

Sang Luojiu thought about it, and planned to bring the master back: "Master, I'm sorry."

Ruyi carried the seal on his back as before, avoiding his hand without a trace.

Sang Luojiu took a moment, his expression moved subtly, and when he turned his head to look at Ruyi, his expression became a little subtle.

Ruyi walked forward on his own: "Did anyone come to visit after the switch?"

Sang Luojiu withdrew his hand: "Yes. I wish to send people here, and my father came here in person, and they were all invited back."

When Feng Ruzhi heard the voice, he stretched his arms and legs like a cat full of sleep, and rubbed his face on his neck again, as a warm soft thing brushed against his neck, a series of movements upset Ruyi:

It's the same indiscretion while asleep.

He put down Feng Rugu, who was not fully awake, was blinking his eyes, and scratched the side of his neck with his eyelashes.

Due to the heavy movements, Feng Ruyuan didn't stand still, and almost fell backwards, Ruyi was relieved, clasped his wrist with his backhand, and pulled him directly into his arms.

Before he could feel embarrassed, Feng Rugu put his hand around his neck, and murmured lazily, "Luo Jiu... don't move, let Master lie down for a while to wake up..."

Ruyi was startled, knowing that he had mistook himself for someone else.

He should have been less embarrassed because of this, but an unreasonable anger made him look a little uglier than before.

Ruyi said in a cold and hard voice: "Look clearly, who am I?"

Hearing the sound, Feng Ruyuan straightened up.

Ruyi still hoped that this person would have the slightest bit of shame, but Feng Rugu put his arms on Ruyi's shoulders, clasped his fingers on the back of his neck, and looked into his eyes with a half smile after finding out that he had misunderstood the person: " I looked at it, and I could see it clearly."

Looking at it from a close distance, the Fengshui of the temple is quite nourishing. It may be right to send it over. Isn’t this a great monk who has completed his life like a flower and a jade?

Ruyi froze for a moment, then pushed his hand away: "Mr. Yunzhong, please respect yourself."

"Heavy, heavy."

After Feng Rugu successfully forced Ru's ears to turn red, he yawned and turned to Sang Luojiu with tears in his eyes: "Luojiu, what's going on now?"

Sang Luojiu tacitly handed over a handkerchief: "Go back to Master, just now..."

"I wish that Director Hua sent someone to come here." Ruyi took the words, "Director Hua came here in person."

Seeing Ruyi's attitude, Sang Luojiu's eyes flickered, and he felt a little concerned, and replied with lowered eyebrows, "It's like this."

Feng Rugu said: "Master Hua really likes to do everything by himself."

Tonight, he also came here on his own initiative and tried his best to invite Feng Ruyu to the banquet.

Sang Luojiu said with a smile: "My father is an idle person and rarely does anything himself. His sudden change of personality may be because the master is here."

Feng Rugu raised his hand and tapped his nose: "That's your father, don't talk about him in front of others, and be careful of being caught."

Sang Luojiu accepted this with pleasure, and smiled innocently: "Master is not someone else."

If you see this scene at a glance, you can only feel a strange soreness in your chest.

It's fine for him to treat himself like this, and he will touch his apprentice like this without any grudges?

He turned his back and said coldly, "Those disciples have been imprisoned long enough."

Feng Ruyu slapped his head: "I'm sleepy and sleepy. I..."

Sang Luojiu stopped him: "Master, Shuang'er told me something..."

He was obviously hesitant to speak, and then took another look at the same thing, as if there was something unspeakable.

Knowing that Sang Luojiu had a lot to do with Jianchuan's matter, Feng Rugu waved his hand and said, "Master, you should ask first."

Ru Yi didn't say a word, and walked away, only after walking a few steps did he realize that it was too impolite for him to walk away like this, when he turned his head and was about to say something, he saw Sang Luojiu clung to Feng Rugu's ear, Whispering in a low voice, with an intimate look.

Now, Ruyi walked away without looking back.

……

After listening to Sang Luojiu's report, Feng Rugu scratched the mole on the tip of his nose: "Shuang'er saw that Zhu Mingchao appeared in the grove?"

"Yes." Sang Luojiu said, "Shuang'er said that she is waiting for someone."

This actually corresponds to the results of their inspection in the grove.

During the period of Su Ping's death, Zhu Mingchao appeared in the grove, which should be true.

Sang Luo asked for a long time: "What do you think, Master?"

Feng Rugu said: "It may not be her who did it."

Sang Luojiu was taken aback.

With all the witnesses and material evidence, and Zhu Mingchao was involved in both incidents, he thought this was enough to convict her: "...Master?"

Feng Rugu said: "When transferring corpses in the mountain depression, she still knew how to plant Feihuamen by picking up stones and erasing the traces. This time, she forgot to cover up such an important sneak kill?"

Sang Luojiu: "Perhaps she hoped that after the body was found, she would cover it with other footprints? The first to discover the body was the disciple of the Baisheng Sect. There is a lot of room for control."

Feng Ruyu: "That's why I said 'not necessarily'."

Sang Luojiu: "But it can be said that the person who sent the letter to Su Ping was the one who killed Su Ping."

Feng Ruyu remained silent, only meditating.

The death of the young disciple of Xiafei Sect broke the peace of Jianchuan, and gave each family a reason to make excuses, and conflicts arose.

Because the corpse was facing the Qingshuangmen, and Su Ping, a disciple of the Qingshuangmen, received a forged letter from his family and hurried out, the conflicts among the three families intensified. .

Su Ping's death is the most harmful to Qingshuangmen. If the murderer cannot be found, then Qingshuangmen will be accused of colluding with foreign thieves.

Among the three families, Cyan Frost Sect has the largest number of people and the most unstoppable momentum of development. If it continues to develop, the other two will lose their foothold sooner or later, either being merged into Cyan Frost Sect or driven out.

If the other two sects deliberately sent false letters and ignited conflicts, it would be reasonable to target the Qingshuang sect.

While thinking, Ruyi had already come out of the first person's room.

The reason why Feng Rugu detained them separately and left them alone was to teach them that they could not communicate with each other, and sitting alone in the empty room waiting, they would inevitably think wildly.

And what people are best at is self-intimidation. Thinking about it, being afraid, the possibility of deceiving the truth is even greater.

Feng Rugu went forward to meet him: "How is the master's question?"

Ruyi said: "Here is a disciple of the Feihua Sect. When the murder happened, he was in charge of guarding the Bingqiao."

This is consistent with what Shuang'er said: the guard of the bridge is a disciple of Feihua Sect, he was afraid that his disciple would report to his mother and he would be punished, so he hid in the grove and dared not go back.

Feng Rugu asked, "What did he discover?"

Ruyi said: "He said that when the murder happened, the Feihua Sect was in charge..."

He glanced at Sang Luojiu, and after being signaled by Feng Rugu's eyes that "can be said", he continued: "Hua Ruohong, the head of the Feihua Sect, came and asked if Su Ping had returned, and asked if there were any outsiders visiting. Shouqiao After the disciple answered the truth, he asked him to be a good guard, and went across the bridge, but the time was very short, at most it took him to go around the outer river for a week, and he returned quickly."

Feng Ruyuan thought about it.

"Above the submerged water, you can't use spells, you can only cross the bridge honestly." Feng Ruyuan came back to his senses, and said with a smile, "This is really the best."
