Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 60

[Chapter 39 (2)]

It is so intact, have you also suspected Qi’s cause of death? ”

“Yes. Hong Shenjun said sternly, “Qi’s temperament is domineering, and even if she seeks death, she will not compare herself to a ‘dog she’. But firstly, the valuables of Caibohang were not discarded. Second, Qi seemed to have the idea of seeking death for a long time. Just a few days before she hanged herself, she divided her jewelry into several parts and donated them to several shops. Buddhist temple. I just thought that Qi’s family has no children or daughters, and Tian Yunde’s death will make Qi’s family helpless. It is possible that the idea of seeking death has arisen overnight, and even a big change in temperament is possible. Lin Chengyou snorted: ”

But this does not rule out the possibility of vendetta. The tone of the letter was too weird, and it clearly meant punishment, and judging from Qi’s attitude towards Rong’s, she would take the initiative to repent. man of? In addition to inventorying his property, Hong can check who the Tian couple had ever had a grudge against? ”

Hong Canjun quietly sweated on his back. To be honest, he originally despised such a valuable son as Lin Chengyou in his heart. He didn’t even touch the fur.

Of course, he only muttered these words in his heart, without revealing it on his face, and in order not to be criticized, he made adequate preparations before coming tonight. Who knew that Lin Chengyou was so thoughtful, one sentence after another, quickly It was overwhelming.

He hurriedly cheered up and responded: “I checked. Tian Yunde is a smooth person, and most of the people he contacts with are wealthy and wealthy. Even if Qi’s conflicts with others, it is nothing more than a gain or loss in business. However, during the investigation process, the subordinate found a very strange thing: Tian and his wife had no relatives, and they had never entertained relatives from other places.

Lin Chengyou said with a “huh”: “Interesting, the Tian family was originally from Zhangqiu, and they moved to Chang’an only ten years ago in Dongyue. Zhangqiu is not too far from Chang’an, and logically, they will not be blocked from hearing about their relatives in their hometown. ” ”

“Beijing thinks so too.” Hong Canjun said suspiciously, “The Tian family is rich, even if they don’t want to pay attention to the poor relatives in the past, they can’t stop the poor relatives from coming to join them. At first, the poor family didn’t believe this, but the store The clerk in the house and the neighbors on the left and right can testify, and after Qi’s death, no relatives came to organize the funeral. I thought at the time that it was not that Qi’s precious jewelry was donated to the temple before his death. It turned out that there was no relative in the world. .”

Lin Chengyou asked logically, “So can Hong Canjun investigated what happened to Tian and his wife in Zhangqiu ten years ago?

”

Fortunately, his complexion was dark, and his blushing was not obvious. He said shyly: “Biezhi wrote a letter to the secretary of Zhangqiu’s house to join the army, asking them about the relatives and old friends of the Tian family in Zhangqiu. But he did not wait for the letter to be sent. When I came here, there was another case in the county. The humble office was incapable of doing anything, thinking that after investigating these days, the cause of Tian’s couple’s death was not suspicious, and Dong Ming’s mansion urged another case to be investigated, the humble position… the humble position is also Throw away your hand.”

Lin Chengyou rushed to Hong Shenjun and spread his palm: “Where is the letter?”

Hong Shenjun coughed awkwardly, only because his voice was so loud that his eardrums were buzzing.

Lin Chengyou’s smile didn’t change, but his tone became a little bit colder: “Since it’s an official letter, there is no reason why Zhangqiu Mansion will not return.

” I brought it here, I’m afraid that Lin Pingshi will laugh at the humble and careless, so I don’t have the nerve to take it out.”

Lin Chengyou shook the dust on the envelope, it seemed that the letter had been sitting in the corner for more than a year, fortunately, Hong joined the army I was not so confused that I threw the letter away, I really wanted to write to Zhangqiu again, at least it would take ten days to get a reply.

The director of Zhangqiu House was very careful and listed all the three relatives and six dependents of the Tian family and Qi family on the paper, Tian Yunde on the left and Qi’s family on the right.

Tian Yunde’s grandfather and mother have long since passed away, and there is only one younger brother. Because Tian’s father is the only son, Tian Yunde has no uncles, brothers and nephews. After Tian Yunde’s younger brother died of illness eleven years ago, there are only two Tian Yunde left in the Tian family. Mouth.

There are not many relatives on Qi’s side. Qi’s is the youngest daughter, and there are two older sisters. The Qi family has always been poor, and the mother and father died of illness one after another before Qi’s marriage. No audio for years.

As for whether the Tian family and his wife had ever made enemies in Zhangqiu, the other party wrote in the letter: According to the household registration, the Tian family and the Qi family left Zhangqiu in July of the Dingmao year, and since then the Tian family and Qi family have become extinct in the local area , Don’t forget to remember what happened more than ten years ago, and not many people even know about these two couples.

After Yan Sizhi read the letter, his expression was a little strange: “I thought this couple was deliberately avoiding the enemy, but it turns out that there are no relatives in their hometown.”

Lin Chengyou suddenly said: ” No.”

Yan Sizhi and Hong Canjun asked in surprise, “What’s wrong.”

“The day is wrong.” Lin Chengyou clicked on a place on the letter, “The letter said that the Tian family left Zhangqiu in July, but according to the household registration records in Wannian County, the Tian family only arrived in November. Chang’an. From July to November, where did they go for the whole four months?” The

needles fell in the room. The four months were not long or short, and the two big living people had to eat and drink. Besides, there must be a place to live.

“Furthermore, the Tian couple kept saying that they made their fortune because Qi sold the dowry, but as stated in the letter, Qi was born in a poor family, so how could such a large dowry be available for her to sell? Even if there is some surplus in the family, after a The famine has also been used in exchange for food.”

Hong Shenjun wanted to make up for his faults, and wished he could scavenge all the clues he knew: “But according to the investigation, when Tian and his wife first arrived in Chang’an ten years ago, they were in the East. The city rented a shop to sell valuable fabrics.”

Lin Chengyou glanced at him: “Don’t you think it’s strange, it’s not easy to rent a shop in the East City, and selling expensive cloth like lingerie requires a lot of money, if the dowry is fake Yeah, where did the money come from?”

Yan Sizhi said suspiciously: “You mean—”

Lin Chengyou saw the horror of the Tian family’s ghosts in front of his eyes, and sneered: “I was thinking about what happened in those four months, if you can figure out what the Tian family did in those years. , maybe we can know the murderer’s motive.”

Hong Shenjun was both shocked and regretful: “So the Tian family was really murdered?”

Lin Chengyou turned around and pointed to Qi’s unique letter: “The murderer can deceive others but cannot deceive us. , this letter is exactly the same as Qimang’s method of leading the road, using the method of trapping the soul, manipulating the victim like a puppet, and then making him write a letter and hang himself. I think if the coffin is opened for autopsy , there should be some needle holes left on the outside of Qi’s clothes.”

Hong Shenjun’s face was sad, Qi’s body was already decomposed after more than a year of death, and it was easier said than done to open the coffin to find clues. If the murderer had been found out at that time, perhaps there would have been no such thing.

Lin Chengyou suddenly said again: “Yan Sizhi, Hong joins the army, if your family flees the famine, where would the first one consider going?”

Yan Sizhi came back to his senses: “When you are in a famine year, you can probably count on your relatives. I’ve taken it in.”

“But the Tian family has no relatives to go to.” Lin Chengyou took two steps in front of the table, “Qi has two older sisters, for the Tian family at that time, there was nothing better than this. It’s a pity that the letter didn’t say where they married, otherwise, maybe they would know where the Tian couple lived for the past four months.

” From somewhere to Chang’an, when the Tian couple reappeared, there was already an extra amount of money in their hands for business.

The circumstances of these four months changed the fate of Tian’s life.

Four months…

four months…

Lin Chengyou’s eyelids jumped.

Should n’t that place be –

he stood dumbfounded in the room, only to feel that the various clues were gradually pointing to a certain place clearly.

Yuezhou, sisters Yao Huang, the sachet from Taozhi Embroidery Workshop, the four months that Tian and his wife disappeared for no reason…

He suddenly raised his head: “Yan Sizhi, quickly go to Yuezhou in the name of Dali Temple. A letter, after writing it, people will gallop to deliver the letter overnight.”

Yan Sizhi was stunned, and quickly grabbed his sleeves and picked up a pen: “What do you want to ask? ”

I want to know if there was an unsolved case in Yuezhou between August and October ten years ago, maybe the location was near Taozhi Ferry, and the murderer has not been caught yet.” “Lin Chengyou turned around and hurriedly walked out, “Hong Shenjun, you go out with me. ”

Hong Canjun stood up in surprise: “Where are we going?” ”

“Try your luck.” There are just a few officials from Jiangnan Dongdao who report their work in Beijing. If they are lucky, maybe someone will remember what happened in Yuezhou ten years ago. If no one can remember, there are still several hostels run by Yuezhou people in the city, and ask someone to ask carefully. Lin Chengyou said as he went downstairs

, there was no one in the hall, and there was silence everywhere. He walked to the front of the court and looked around for a week, suddenly bent his fingers

into a ring, and blew a whistle.

He stopped, only to hear the night wind passing through the hall, and the light creaking of the lantern hooks from the eaves.

After the whistle, the wind seemed to stagnate for a moment. It was as if a giant was sneaking quietly on the roof.

The cold hair on Hong Canjun’s back stood up. He had practiced martial arts for many years, and when he heard it, he knew that the thing on the roof was definitely not good.

However, before he could draw his sword, Lin Chengyou held him down. The hilt of the knife.

Lin Chengyou turned his head and glanced at Hong Canjun, and said with a half-smile, “Let’s go. ”

Hong Jianjun was full of doubts, and seeing that Lin Chengyou had turned around and walked towards the gate, he had no choice but to swallow the words back in his stomach.

When he came out and got on the horse, he was still speculating about what was on the roof, but Lin Chengyou handed him a piece of paper: “Hong Jianjun, look at this, when the Tians and his wife died, did you see who came and went here? Have you ever had a trip to

Caibo ?” Hong Canjun took the paper and saw the names of Wo Ji and other six people written on it. They were all old residents of Pingkangfang, and he had some impressions of the names.

He knew that this was probably the list of suspects, so he thought carefully: “In the days when Tian’s wife and his wife died, there were many people who came to watch the fun. Others… I really can’t remember.”

Wo Ji and Caly Ji? Lin Chengyou took control of the reins: “What unusual actions did they have at that time?”

Hong Canjun shook his head: “I just remember that they were crowded in the crowd to watch the fun, and they dispersed when we drove them away. By the way, this He Mingsheng is He came to Pingkangfang to open a shop half a year later, and he should not have been in Chang’an at that time.”

Lin Chengyou held the reins and let the horse turn twice in the same place. He did not expect Hong Jianjun to remember what happened more than a year ago. Over a year, it shows that a lot of thought has been spent, how can such a person easily reveal his flaws in front of others.

So I put the paper into my arms: “You and I will act separately. I will go to the memorial hall first, and you will wait for me in Chongrenfang. There are many hostels run by foreign merchants in Chongrenfang, among which is Jiasirugui Inn. It was opened by businessmen from Yuezhou. The traders should know a lot of local anecdotes. Hong Canjun asked them about the unsolved cases in Yuezhou ten years ago.” Hong Canjun held the

horsewhip and folded his hands: “Relax Lin, it is in my heart. There are numbers.”

Lin Chengyou nodded, flicked the reins and galloped away.

Hong Canjun followed suit, but he was a little puzzled. As soon as Yan Sizhi’s letter was sent, Yuezhou would reply soon. Whether Tian and his wife had been to Yuezhou would come to an end in half a month.

But looking at Lin Chengyou’s posture, it seemed like he couldn’t wait for dawn. In fact, he also has the experience of investigating cases day and night, but people are always tired, if it is not an imminent case, there is no need to run around all night.

But Lin Chengyou seemed to have to find the murderer right away tonight –

Hong Canjun thought about waving his whip, and rushed into the night.

***

Yan Sizhi waited and waited, but he did not see Lin Chengyou and Hong Shenjun turning back.

He dozed off with his forehead propped up, and fell asleep accidentally. He slept for an unknown amount of time when he heard a loud noise. Actually slept till dawn.

He hurriedly raised his hand and straightened his head, ran to the door and opened the door, only to see a yamen running up and saying, “Lin Pingshi is back, and he told Yan Sizhi to bring paper and pen and ink, and quickly go to the cake shop next door to find it. He.”

Yan Sizhi quickly found the pastry shop, and saw that Lin Chengyou and Hong Canjun were sitting in the shop, and there were also a few merchant-like men sitting beside them, all looking a little apprehensive.

Although a few merchants were wrapped in Ling Luo, their robes were stained with a lot of dust, as if they had rolled on the ground.

Lin Chengyou cleaned his hands and looked around with a smile: “Hey, why don’t you talk, do I look like a bad guy?” The

merchants shivered and said, “Just now, the villain didn’t recognize His Highness in the hostel, what an offense. For the sake of the villain’s stupidity, please don’t bother with the villain.”

“Speaking of offense, you did delay me a lot.” Lin Chengyou raised his eyebrows, “But I am the most generous and generous person. , and today’s situation is a bit special, for the sake of your willingness to make up for your faults, I can give you a chance.”

Several businessmen hurriedly pointed to the sky and swore: “As long as His Royal Highness raises your hand, everything will be arranged by His Highness.”

Lin Chengyou played with his hands . The wine cup: “Actually, it’s just a trivial matter. It’s rare that you all live at Taozhi Ferry, and you all remember the unsolved case in August ten years ago. I came here to ask you to identify someone.”

The merchants showed fear on their faces, but they were obviously more afraid of Lin Chengyou, looked at each other a few times, and nodded hurriedly.

Lin Chengyou said amicably: “I know what you are afraid of, don’t worry, although that person may be a murderer, as long as you identify him today, I guarantee that this person will not have the chance to retaliate against you in the future.”

As he was talking, Hong Canjun suddenly said: “Yan Sizhi, please take a seat.”

Lin Chengyou nodded at Yan Sizhi, and continued: “Don’t be as eloquent as before, send the clearest one to say that if there is anything missing, the rest of the people will Please help.”

Yan Sizhi was surprised and delighted, and after sitting down, he asked Hong Canjun in a low voice, “Is there really an unsolved case?”

Hong Canjun nodded: “It’s not a sensation, but there are many people who know it. The merchants in Zhouzhou lived at Taozhi Ferry back then, and this time they came to Chang’an to sell goods, and they happened to rest in the hostel, and Lin Ping was right when he asked about it.” The

merchants murmured and discussed, and openly elected the man in blue as the representative. , The man cleared his throat and opened his mouth slowly: “It has been more than ten years since this incident. Fortunately, someone still remembers that there lived a family near our ferry back then. The head of the family was Peng and was a scholar.

” I’m not from Yuezhou. I heard that I went to Chang’an to take part in the scientific expedition in the early years. After falling behind, I had no face to return to my hometown. I simply traveled around with my wife. Later, for some unknown reason, the family traveled to Yuezhou. He also opened a private school near Taozhi Ferry.

“The villain went to the ferry to play when he was a child, and he often saw Peng Shusheng. After Peng Shusheng opened a private school, although he received very few cultivators, he did not receive a few students because he had no fame. In order to make a living In his spare time, he would go to Fang Market to sell calligraphy and painting, and sometimes he would bring his wife’s needles with them. Unfortunately, Mrs. Peng is from Guanzhong, and her embroidery work is far inferior to that of the local embroiderers in

Yuezhou—” Lin Chengyou said coldly, “Scholar Peng’s What’s your wife’s surname?” The

blue-robed man nudged his companion with his shoulder: “Which of you still remember.”

“Your surname is Yin or Qi.” Someone whispered, “The little man’s brother once went to school in Peng Shusheng’s private school, and he said that this teacher was very angry, but it’s a pity that she always speaks with a Guanzhong accent. , I can’t understand a lot of words. Oh, by the way, Peng Shusheng has a pair of children under his knees. The elder is about the same age as the villain. If he lived to this day, he would be about twenty-six or seven years old this year. Daughter, if he lived to this day, It should be fifteen or sixteen years old.

Lin Chengyou’s eyes moved slightly, and he waited patiently for a while, seeing that no one would add any more, he had to say: “Let’s continue. The

blue-robed man said, “Every time when I was old, the neighbors often asked Peng Shusheng to help with writing and painting. Peng Shusheng was soft-hearted, and it was inconvenient to catch up with him. As long as I mentioned it to him, Peng Shusheng would never open his mouth to ask for money.” . Afterwards, the family’s life became more and more difficult, and the neighbors often sent some food to help them.

“I remember that Scholar Peng had a sour temper, and his family was so embarrassed, and he did not forget to teach his children to read and write. The eldest son of the Peng family often saw the eldest son of the Peng family squatting on the ferry to read a book. The youngest daughter, born at a very young age, is fair and beautiful, and the neighbors sometimes boast a few words,

and the Pengs are also full of glory. I planned to go to the exam, but I couldn’t bear to lose face, so I had to secretly follow the people from the ferry to learn how to fish. Once when Scholar Peng was fishing at night, he accidentally rescued a person. It was a coincidence that this person was one of our local people. The giant, accidentally fell into the river because of drinking and slipped, the giant thanked Scholar Peng for his life-saving grace, and specially hosted a banquet to entertain their family, we all guess…” The blue-

robed man turned his head to the left and right, as if to confirm. Is his statement correct? After receiving the affirmative look of his companion, he opened his mouth again.

“We all guess that the giant gave Scholar Peng a large sum of money, because since then, Scholar Peng has rarely gone to the ferry to fish for fish. Now, he didn’t want to change his clothes, but made new dresses for his wife and daughter. Not long after, he bought a good pen and ink for Dalang of the Peng family, saying that with Dalang’s talent, as long as he studied hard for two more years, the year after. You can go to Chang’an to take the scientific examination. After a while, Scholar Peng sold the poor house, and took his children to a village on the mountainside. He also bought two boats and hired people to fish and sell them.

“The day they moved, the villain and the grandfather also went to join in the fun. The neighbors knew why the Peng family was rich, but everyone saw the Peng family so happy, and no one made fun of them.

” After the Peng family moved If you don’t go down the mountain often, the number of old neighbors you meet will be much less. Everyone

says that the Pengs and his wife have come through hardships. Arriving here, the blue-robed man showed a look of unbearable expression on his face, and sighed a few times: “Unexpectedly, the good times didn’t last long, and it didn’t take long for the Peng family to have an accident. At that time, it happened to be August. At that time, there was a famine in the north, and many refugees flocked to the south one after another. There were often strangers landing at Taozhi Ferry. Among them, there were many thieves and dogs. They didn’t go to the ferry, but the Peng family didn’t know what was wrong, so they went to the ferry at this juncture. Unfortunately, they encountered robbers, and the whole family suffered. When they were found, the boat had been pierced, and the family of four disappeared. Neighbors rushed to the government to report the case. It took several days to retrieve the bodies of Peng Shusheng and his wife. After soaking in it for so long, both of them are out of shape.

Someone sighed faintly, as if recalling the tragic situation that day. The blue-robed man was silent for a while, then said in a sullen voice

: “The government took a few more days to retrieve the corpses of the Peng brothers and sisters, but they retrieved the clothes of the brothers and sisters. , The water at the ferry is fast, and there is absolutely no hope of surviving if it falls. Besides, if they are still alive, the brothers and sisters should have gone ashore long ago. The officials also said that Scholar Peng and his wife had wounds on their heads, and they should have been thrown into the river after being smashed by someone. Knowing that money was robbed by the wicked.

“The government also asked us if we had seen strangers come to the Peng family, but we haven’t seen each other for a long time, plus the refugees were scurrying around at that time, and all the houses were closed. I don’t know why they wanted to go to the ferry, but the fisherman hired by the Peng family was also missing. The government suspected that the fisherman was the murderer. It didn’t take long for the fisherman’s floating body to be found. It is said that he was also injured. Murderer, this case is over.”

The room fell silent, and everyone had different expressions. Such a kind family lost their lives overnight, and anyone who heard it would feel embarrassed.

Yan Sizhi sighed while writing, Hong Canjun frowned and wondered what he was thinking about. The merchants looked at their noses and hearts, and occasionally raised their eyes to look at Lin Chengyou.

Lin Chengyou rubbed the wine cup in his hand and didn’t speak for a long time.

Scholar Peng’s wife’s surname is either Yin or Qi. If the surname is Qi, it is likely to be one of Qi’s older sisters.

According to this calculation, where the Tian Yunde and his wife stayed in the past four months ten years ago seems to have the answer.

The couple escaped from Zhangqiu in July and went straight to their sister in Yuezhou. After spending a month on the way, it was almost August when they arrived in Yuezhou.

The Peng family was killed in August.

The strange thing is that when the Tian family and his wife return to Chang’an, they will have more money in their hands to do business. They used the money to open a shop in Dongshi and started a cloth business.

Ten years later, the four members of the Peng family have turned into a pile of dead bones, but the Tian family has become a wealthy family in Chang’an. The experience of those four months has hardly left a trace in their lives.

But can it be erased? Lin Chengyou thought coldly, that was four lives, and the endless hatred would crawl out of the ground like poisonous weeds.

That’s why there is the self-criminal book of “I am a dog, not worthy of living”, so there is a shocking seven-man guide.

So it wasn’t enough for the man to take the lives of the Tian family members, he also had to detain their souls and torture them.

Moreover, the ghost of the Tian family once said that the murderer’s surname was Twelve Paintings.

The surname “Peng” is exactly twelve paintings.

Maybe someone survived the catastrophe that year.

Lin Chengyou’s face was calm, but his heart was full of turbulent waves. Several unsolved cases spanned the entire ten years. If he hadn’t lived in Caifenglou by accident, he might never have known about the one that happened ten years ago. Headless koan.

The case has become more and more clear now, but for some reason, the closer you get to the truth, the more complicated your heart will feel. The opposite of yin is yang, and the other side of wrong is right, but there are some things in the world that cannot be used wrong. or to measure.

He calmed down and said, “Have the bodies of Scholar Peng’s son and daughter never been found?”

“No.” The blue-robed wealthy shook his head, “Every year at our ferry, people drown, and if the bodies don’t come up, basically Rush to the downstream.”

“Have you ever seen a person who looks similar to this pair of siblings in Yuezhou over the years?”

Several businessmen were silent for a moment, then shook their heads one after another: “If they did, the villain would probably be caught She was frightened to death. And the little lady of the Peng family was only six or seven years old when she died. Even if she was lucky enough to survive, her appearance had changed. The great man of the Peng family was sixteen or seventeen years old, but after all, it has been ten years…”

Lin Chengyou stared at them: “No matter how the appearance changes, there should be some shadows from the past. I will take you to recognize a few people later. If you think they are similar, feel free to tell me. Also, do you still remember Peng Dalang and Peng Xiaoniangzi? The

merchants shook their heads: “I just remember that Scholar Peng always called his sons ‘Dalang, Dalang’, but the little lady doesn’t know.”

Lin Chengyou thought about it and found out why the murderer murdered the Tian family and his wife. He already had a general idea, but why the Yao and Huang sisters were killed is still a mystery.

Recalling what happened to the Yao and Huang sisters in their early years, he asked, “In Yuezhou, there was a couple of musicians who were good at ventriloquism. Their surname was Nie and they had a pair of daughters. He was implicated in Li Changmao’s rebellious case, and his daughter was sold, have you heard about this?” The

merchants responded quickly: “I heard about it, why haven’t I heard about these strange people in Yuezhou City? Hearing, there is no villain who doesn’t know that Nie Legong imitates the birdsong so vividly that he was famous for a while, but they had been living in Lefang in the city before the accident, which is very far from the ferry.”

Don’t you live at Taozhi Ferry? Lin Chengyou was secretly surprised, thinking that Yao Huang and sisters were killed because they recognized the murderer, but it seems that she guessed wrong. Since they are not neighbors, the chances of getting to know each other are slim. Besides, Yao Huang was only eight years old ten years ago, and Qingzhi was only five years old, so she was too young to have any impression of the Peng family’s case.

Then why were they killed?

He casually poured tea for himself. After the opening of Caifeng Tower, Yao Huang and sisters lived under the same roof as the murderer. Qingzhi liked to steal things. Maybe one day, he accidentally discovered the evidence that the murderer killed Tian and his wife.

No, the murderer was so cautious, how could a little girl grab the handle.

But if there is no handle, why is the murderer threatened by Qingzhi?

What did I miss… Lin Chengyou frowned, suddenly thinking of Mr. Rong.

“Have you heard of a Xiu Niang named Rong?”

Several merchants shook their heads blankly.

Lin Chengyou took out the murderer’s sachet from his arms: “Hey, look at this, do you have any impressions?”

Everyone said with a “heh”, “This is like the work of the Taozhi Embroidery Workshop.”

“Do you know this embroidery workshop?”

” Naturally, you know that this famous embroidery workshop is near the ferry, and the word ‘peach branch’ is based on the name of the ferry.”

Lin Chengyou touched his chin: “Since it is so close, you may have heard that there is an embroiderer. Mother married her daughter to a rich family in Chang’an as a concubine.” The

blue-robed man was about to shake his head, but a businessman behind him looked forward: “Yes, there is such a thing, the villain’s mother often goes to Taozhi Embroidery Workshop. I am familiar with the people in the embroidery workshop. At that time, the villain wanted to take a concubine, and A-Niang kept an eye on the villain. About a year or two ago, the villain’s A-Niang suddenly came home and said that she had come to see it. I fell in love with the daughter of an old embroidered lady, but before she could say anything, that lady was taken care of by a giant from Chang’an, and the giant paid a lot of money to the old embroidered lady and took the little lady to Chang’an.”

Yan Sizhi and Hong Canjun were surprised: “Isn’t this the Rong family?”

That’s right, Rong’s aunt is a Yuezhou embroidery mother, and the years are also suitable.

Lin Chengyou’s expression was a little weird: “According to this, Mrs Rong also lived in Taozhi Ferry? Then would she also know about the Peng family’s case…”

He stopped abruptly and stood up abruptly.

He finally knew why Qingzhi openly said that he and the Rong family were from the same hometown!

Everyone only regarded Qingzhi as a grandstanding, because at that time, Mr. Rong had been dead for more than a year, and Caifenglou was often haunted. Only a fool would be willing to have a relationship with a dead person.

But it turned out that Qingzhi wasn’t talking crazy, she said it on purpose to the murderer.

She is blackmailing the murderer in this way, she knows his/her secret.

As for how she knew, it was naturally related to the Rong family.

As early as when Mr. Rong was alive, Qingzhi had gone to Caibo with Woji. At that time, Qingzhi was determined to find her lost sister, and when she heard Mr. Rong’s Yuezhou accent, she was bound to find a way to talk to Mr. Rong.

Once they get used to it, there will be more things to talk about. Maybe Mr. Rong accidentally said something about the Peng family, which was remembered by Qingzhi.

A year later, the Caifeng Building opened, and Qingzhi followed Woji into the building. She met with the murderer every day. Maybe at a certain moment, Qingzhi caught a glimpse of the murderer’s secret.

Qingzhi’s appearance is silly, but in fact, she has a deep scheming. After knowing this secret, she took the opportunity to blackmail the murderer, thinking that she succeeded, and that’s why she has the pile of precious jewelry hidden under the cherry candies.

In the process of dealing with Qingzhi, the murderer inadvertently learned that Qingzhi and Yao Huang were sisters. He was afraid that his secret would be leaked. After killing Qingzhi, he attacked Yao Huang again.

No wonder the murderer clearly hated the Tian family, but killed sisters Yao Huang.

Lin Chengyou fixedly looked out the door. After the morning drum, the market gradually became lively. There was a commotion outside, but there were lightning and thunder in his ears. Several cases were closely connected, and the murderer hardly showed any flaws. If it hadn’t happened to find this group of Yuezhou businessmen, it might take ten days to get the truth out.

It had been a long time since he had met such a sophisticated opponent. He was scratching his head. Thinking of this person’s flawless performance on weekdays, he couldn’t wait to see the moment that person was revealed to him by him.

He lowered his eyes and finished drinking the soup in the tea cup unhurriedly. Lou recognizes people, don’t make any noise when you get there, everything is arranged by me.”

***

Teng Yuyi practiced swordsmanship in the garden alone.

Last night, it rained all night, and it only cleared up in the morning. The sun fell on the blue glazed tiles, blooming thousands of bright white lights. This kind of good weather can be used to practice swordsmanship with half the effort. It became more and more difficult to practice at the back. After learning the first twenty moves, Teng Yuyi’s speed suddenly slowed down. Originally, one move only took half an hour, but now it takes more than an hour to complete.

It would be a lie to say that she is not in a hurry. While the weather was clear, she practiced very energetically despite the fact that the ground was full of muddy ideas.

Suddenly, a yamen officer led a group of people over and said, “Young Master Wang, please avoid it. The garden has to be free to handle the case, so I can’t keep anyone for the time being.”

Why did you come again? Teng Yuyi turned around to look at the person, Yan Sizhi knew her, and the rest were all strangers. Lin Chengyou will not find a bunch of strangers for no reason, it must be related to the case.

The merchants are also looking at Teng Yuyi. They have been selling goods in both places all the year round, and they have long practiced their vicious eyesight. Seeing that this young man is full of extravagance, they secretly guessed that he was a certain well-dressed child, and he didn’t know why he had such a large cheek on his face. Hu, covering half of his face.

Teng Yuyi calmly retracted her gaze, it seemed that if the murderer didn’t get caught soon, she wouldn’t even think about practicing thirty-six moves in one go. The voice said: “Abo, let’s go.”

After talking, he turned around and went to the small Buddhist hall. The yamen hesitated for a while. Lin Pingshi only said that no one could be kept in the garden, but did not say how the small Buddhist hall was. Besides, the prince seemed to have a lot of backgrounds, so why should he be annoying.

Juesheng and Qizhi were sitting at the base of the wall and dozing off, Wudao was busy dividing a few pieces of hu pie, looked up and saw Teng Yuyi come in, and was about to ask her why she didn’t practice when she saw the yamen leading a group of richly dressed strangers in.

“This is?” Before the

yamen could speak, he heard Lin Chengyou’s voice.

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi woke up, rubbed their eyes and said, “Senior brother.”

After a while, Lin Chengyou came in and said to several merchants, “You will recognize people in the small Buddhist hall later, and even if you recognize them, don’t make a sound.

” People nodded nervously.

Teng Yuyi originally planned to invite Wudao to practice swords elsewhere, but when he saw this, he was aroused by curiosity. Lin Chengyou was busy all night, and it seemed that he had found a lot of things.

Do you stay to watch the fun, or go back to your room to practice swordsmanship?

Lin Chengyou turned around to arrange for a few Taoist priests, not being careful to see Teng Yuyi, he rubbed his chin and thought, didn’t she say last night that he had no clue, and today happened to ask her to open her eyes.

“Yo.” He said with a smile, “Unfortunately, I have disturbed Wang Gongzi’s studies. We have to use this small Buddhist hall for errands, and we will not be able to practice swords for a while. Wang Gongzi is no better than others. Move to another place, so as not to delay your sword learning.”

Teng Yuyi suddenly felt deceitful, these words were sarcasm on the surface, but they also vaguely revealed the meaning of “exciting generals”, reasoning that Lin Chengyou wished them to go far away, so politely ” “What is she staying for?

Knowing that Lin Chengyou had bad intentions, she still couldn’t resist the temptation to “identify the murderer”, she simply put on a stance of watching the excitement, and said with a sweet smile: “Wang can afford to delay this time. Since the prince is willing to let us stay I came down to watch the fun, but I’ll be disrespectful.”

Lin Chengyou has a thick skin, and he didn’t change his smile when he was punctured, but he said in his heart, this is what you want to stay for yourself, so you can take a good look at it later.

He turned his head to say something to Wudao, and someone came from the garden.

Wudao looked at the gang of businessmen and couldn’t help but ask, “Sir, do they recognize the murderer?”

“Shh, don’t talk.” Lin Chengyou looked out through the window, “Let them try.”

Juesheng and Jizhi thought . Going straight to the senior brother, seeing the serious expression on the senior brother’s face, realizing that the atmosphere was not right, he tiptoed to Teng Yuyi’s side, and looked out together with Teng Yuyi.

The first one came was Ge Jin. The yamen led her to stand in front of a nearby peony bush,
