Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 60
[Chapter 39 (2)]
If it is so intact, have you also suspected the cause of Qi’s death?
“Yes.” Hong Joinjun said, “Qi’s temperament is stubborn, even if he seeks death, he will not compare himself to ‘dog yan’.” However, first of all, the valuable utensils of the colored cloth line were not discarded, and secondly, Qi Shi seemed to have long had the idea of seeking death, and just a few days before hanging herself, she divided her jewelry into several parts and donated them to several Buddhist temples. I thought, Qi Shi has no children and no daughters under his knees, Tian Yunde’s death, Qi Clan is counted as helpless, and the idea of seeking death arises overnight, and even a big change in temperament is possible.
Lin Chengyou said, “But this can’t rule out the possibility of revenge, the tone on that letter is too strange, it clearly has a sense of punishment, and judging from the attitude of the Qi clan towards the Rong clan, is she the one who will take the initiative to repent?” In addition to counting the property, Hong joined the army and checked who the Tian couple had a vendetta against? A layer of sweat quietly appeared on Hong’s
back, to tell the truth, he originally looked down on Lin Chengyou’s noble son, but with his door and origin, he pointed fingers everywhere, in fact, when it came to how to handle the case, these idiots did not even touch the fur.
Of course, these words he only muttered in his heart, his face was not revealed, and in order not to be blamed, he made sufficient preparations before coming tonight, even if Lin Chengyou thought so thoughtfully, sentence after sentence, it was soon overwhelmed.
He hurriedly raised his spirit to respond: “Checked.” Tian Yunde is a sleek person, and most of the people who come and go on weekdays are rich and powerful, and they have heard that they are in harmony with each other and never make friends with people. Even if the Qi clan clashes with people, it is nothing more than some business chicken worms. However, in the process of investigation, Beizhi discovered a very strange thing: the Tian couple did not even have a relative around them, let alone entertained relatives from other places.
Lin Chengyou “Ah” a sound: “Interestingly, the Tian couple was originally from Zhangqiu, and only moved to Chang’an in the winter moon ten years ago, And Zhangqiu is not too far from Chang’an, so the theory will not be blocked from the news of their hometown.” “That’s
what the inferior post thinks.” Hong Xianjun said suspiciously, “The Tian family has a very large family, 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 them.” At first, he did not believe this, but the guys in the shop and the neighbors on the left and right could testify, and after Qi’s death, no relatives came to handle the funeral. At that time, Beizhi thought that it was no wonder that Qi Shi donated valuable jewelry to the temple before he died, and it turned out that a relative in the world was gone.
Lin Chengyou naturally asked, “So Hong joined the army and checked the tian couple’s incident in Zhangqiu ten years ago?” Hong’s face was
hot, and he didn’t look deep, let alone more than a year later.
Fortunately, his complexion was dark, and his blush was not obvious, and he said shyly: “I wrote a letter to the Sihu Army of Zhangqiu Province, asking them about the relatives and friends of the Tian couple in Zhangqiu. But before the letter could be sent, there was another case in the county. Beizhi was lacking in skill, thinking that after checking these days, the cause of death of the Tian couple was not suspicious, plus Dong Mingfu urged to investigate another case, Beizhi … The inferior position is also lost.
Lin Chengyou joined the army and spread his palms: “Where is the letter?” Hong Junjun
coughed awkwardly, only because his voice was too loud and the eardrums of the people were buzzing.
Lin Chengyou’s smile remained unchanged, but his tone was cold and hardened: “Since it is an official letter, there is no reason why Zhangqiu Mansion will not return.” Hong’s face turned
red for a while, and He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Lin Chengyou: “The letter was brought, I was afraid that Lin Would laugh and be careless, and I didn’t have the good sense to take it out.”
Lin Chengyou shook the floating ash on the envelope, it seems that for more than a year, this letter has been shelved in the corner, fortunately, Hong Joinjun was not confused enough to throw the letter away, really want to write to Zhang Qiu again, let alone say that it will take more than ten days to get a reply.
The Sihu of Zhangqiu Province was very careful, listing the three relatives and six relatives of the Tian family and the Qi family on the paper, tian Yunde on the left and the Qi family on the right, with a clear vein and a clear picture.
Tian Yunde’s grandmother has long since died, and there is only one younger brother at the bottom, because Tian Yunde’s father is the only son, Tian Yunde has no uncles and nephews, and after Tian Yunde’s brother died of illness eleven years ago, the entire Tian family has only two sons left.
There are not many relatives on the Qi side, the Qi family is a daughter, there are two sisters on the top, the Qi family has always been poor, the grandmother died of illness before the Qi family got married, and the two sisters have not been heard for many years because of their marriage to other places.
As for the Fact that the Tian couple once had a vendetta against someone in Zhangqiu, the other party wrote in the letter: According to the household registration, the Tian couple left Zhangqiu in July of the year of Ding, and since then the Tian family and the Qi family have become extinct in the local area, and the neighbors of Luxiang do not say that they remember more than ten years ago, and not many people even know about these two families.
After Yan Jizhi read the letter, his face was a little strange: “I thought that this couple intended to avoid the enemy, and it turned out that there were really no relatives in their hometown.”
Lin Chengyou suddenly said, “No.”
Yan Jizhi and Hong Xianjun were surprised: “What’s wrong?” “The
days are not right.” Lin Chengyou nodded at a certain place on the letter, “The letter said that the Tian couple left Zhangqiu in July, but according to the household registration records on the Wannian County side, the Tian couple only arrived in Chang’an in November.” From July to November, a full four months of work, where did they go? Four
months is not long, not short, two big living people in addition to eating and drinking, but also have a shelter.
Moreover, the Tian couple said that they made their fortune because the Qi clan sold the dowry, but as the letter said, the Qi clan was born in the cold door, where did they get such a large dowry for her to sell? Even if there is some surplus in the family and a famine, it is exchanged for food. Hong Joinjun was
bent on making up for his deeds, and hated not being able to scrape out all the clues he knew: “But according to the investigation of the lowly post, when the Tian couple first arrived in Chang’an ten years ago, they rented a shop in Dongshi to sell expensive fabrics. Lin Chengyou looked
at him: “Don’t you think it is strange, it is not easy to go to the Shop in the East Market, and it takes a lot of money to sell expensive cloth such as Silk Aya, if the dowry is fake, where did this money come from?”
Yan Ji said suspiciously, “You mean-”
Lin Chengyou saw the tragic situation of the ghosts of the Tian couple in front of his eyes, and sneered: “I was thinking about what happened in those four months, if I can understand what the Tian couple did in those years, maybe we can know the murderer’s motives for killing.” Hong Wasjun
both shocked and remorseful: “So the Tian couple were really murdered by someone?”
Lin Chengyou turned back and pointed to Qi’s letter: “The murderer deceived others and could not deceive us, this letter is the same as the method of the Seven Mangs Leading The Way Seal, so that it is a method of holding the soul in check, manipulating the victim like a puppet, and then making him write letters and hang himself.” I think that if the coffin is opened for autopsy, Qi’s clothes should leave some needle holes on the outside. Hong’s
face was miserable, Qi Shi had been dead for more than a year, the body had long been corrupt, he wanted to open the coffin again to find clues, and it was not easy to talk about it, he only hated him for closing the case too hastily, if the murderer had been pulled out at that time, maybe there would be no those things behind.
Lin Chengyou suddenly added, “Yan Sizhi, Hong joined the army, if you flee with your family, where will you first consider throwing yourself?” Yan Ji turned
back to god: “When the fierce year is hungry, it is estimated that you can count on relatives to take it in.” “The
Kotian family has no relatives to run to.” Lin Chengyou paced slowly and leisurely at the table for two steps, “Qi Clan still has two sisters, for the Tian couple at that time, there is no better place to go, but unfortunately the letter does not say where they married, otherwise they may know where the Tian couple lived for four months.”
As
he spoke, he calculated in his heart that he would run from Zhangqiu to a certain place, and then from somewhere to Chang’an, and when the Tian couple reappeared, they already had an extra amount of money in their hands to do business.
These four months of circumstances changed the fate of the Tian couple’s life.
Four months…
Four months…
Lin Chengyou’s eyelids jumped.
Shouldn’t that place be —
he stood dumbfounded in the middle of the room, only to feel the multitude of clues, gradually pointing clearly to a certain place.
Yue Zhou, the Yao Huang sisters, the sachet from the Peach Branch Embroidery Workshop, the four months that the Tian couple disappeared for no reason…
He looked up sharply: “Yan Sizhi, you quickly sent a letter to the Yuezhou capital in the name of Dali Temple, and after writing it, you sent a letter overnight.”
Yan Ji was stunned, and quickly grabbed his sleeve and raised his pen: “What do you want to ask?”
“I want to know what unsolved cases occurred in Yuezhou between August and October ten years ago, perhaps near the Taozhi Ferry, and the murderer has not yet been arrested.” Lin Chengyou turned around and hurried outside, “Hong Join the Army, you go out with me.” Hong Xianjun
stood up in surprise: “Where are you going?” ”
Go and try your luck.” There happened to be several officials in JiangnanDong Province reporting in Beijing, and if they were lucky, someone might remember Yuezhou ten years ago. If no one can think of it, there are still a few hostels opened by Yuezhou people in the city, and they are looking for someone to ask carefully.
Lin Chengyou said as he went downstairs, there was no one in the hall anymore, and there was no sound in the four places.
He walked to the front of the court and looked around, and suddenly bent his fingers into a ring and blew a whistle.
Hong Joinjun followed lin Chengyou closely behind, and stopped in confusion, only to hear the night wind pass through the hall, and the creak of lantern hooks came from under the eaves.
After this whistle, the sound of the wind seemed to stop for a moment, and Hong Xianjun was secretly feeling strange, so he heard a faint noise on the roof, as if there was a giant sneaking on the roof.
The cold hair on Hong’s back was erect, he had been practicing martial arts for many years, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that the thing on the roof was definitely not a good kind.
However, before he could draw his sword, Lin Chengyou pressed the handle of his sword.
Lin Chengyou turned his head to look at Hong’s army and smiled, “Let’s go.” Hong’s
army was full of doubts, and seeing that Lin Chengyou had already turned around and walked towards the gate, he had to swallow the words back into 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 joined the army to see this, during the time when the Tian couple died, have you ever seen anyone on this head who has been in and out of the color shop?”
Hong took the note, only to see that the names of Wo Ji and the other six people were written on it, all of whom were old residents of Pingkang Fang, and he had some impressions of the names.
He knew that this was mostly a list of suspects, and pondered carefully: “In the days when the Tian couple died, there were many people who came to see the liveliness, two false mothers I have seen, but only a quick glance, as for others… I can’t really remember. ”
Woggy and Calyx? Lin Chengyou controlled the reins: “Did they do anything unusual at that time?” Hong Junjun
shook his head: “I just remember that they were crowded in the crowd to watch the liveliness, and they dispersed as soon as we drove them away.” By the way, this He Mingsheng came to PingkangFang to open a shop half a year later, when he should not be in Chang’an.
Lin Chengyou held the reins and let the horse turn twice in place, he originally did not expect Hong to join the army to remember the events of more than a year ago, the murderer in order to lay out more than a year, it is enough to see a lot of thought, such a person will easily show flaws in front of people.
So he tucked the note into his arms again: “You and I act separately, I will go to the concert hall first, and you will wait for me in Chongrenfang.” Chongrenfang has a lot of hostels opened by foreign traders, including the Home Si Rugui Inn, which was opened by Yuezhou merchants, and the merchants should know a lot of local anecdotes, and Hong Joinjun asked them about the pending case in Yuezhou ten years ago. Hong Xianjun
held the horse whip and arched his hand: “Lin Comment is assured, and he has a number in his heart.”
Lin Chengyou nodded, and shook the reins and sped away.
Hong joined the army to pat the horse to keep up, but his heart was a little confused, as soon as Yan Sizhi’s letter was sent, Yuezhou would soon reply to the letter, and the Tian couple had not been to Yuezhou in that year, and it would come out after half a month.
However, looking at Lin Chengyou’s posture, it was like he couldn’t wait for dawn. In fact, he also had the experience of investigating cases day and night, but people always had tired times, if it were not for the imminent case, there was no need to run around all night.
But Lin Chengyou seemed to have to find the murderer immediately tonight-
Hong Joinjun thought about wielding his horse whip and ran into the night in a flash.
***
Yan Si waited and waited, and did not see Lin Chengyou and Hong join the army to turn around.
He snoozed with his forehead propped up, accidentally fell asleep, slept for an unknown amount of time, confused to hear a noisy noise, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were full of golden sunlight, and YanJi straightened his back and leaned forward, and this sleep actually slept until dawn.
He hurriedly raised his hand to straighten his head, ran to the door and opened the door, but saw a servant run up and say, “Lin Comment has returned, saying that yanji should bring paper and pen and ink and quickly go to the next door to find him.”
Yan Jizhi quickly found the hu cake shop that he had returned to, and saw Lin Chengyou and Hong Shanjun sitting in the shop, in addition to several men in the form of vendors sitting next to each other, all looking a little worried.
Although several merchants were wrapped in Ayara, there was a lot of dust on their robes, as if they had fallen on the ground.
Lin Chengyou cleaned his hands and looked around with a smile: “Yu, why don’t you talk, do I look like a bad person?” The
merchants sighed and said, “The little man in the hostel did not recognize His Highness Shizi, there are many offensive acts, please Shizi look at the villain’s foolishness, do not worry about the villain.”
“Speaking of offense, you’ve really delayed me a lot.” Lin Chengyou raised an eyebrow, “But I am the most magnanimous person, and today’s situation is somewhat special, thinking that you are willing to make up for your deeds, I can give you a chance.”
Several merchants hurriedly pointed to the sky and swore: “As long as His Highness Shizi raises his noble hand, everything will be arranged by His Highness Shizi.”
Lin Chengyou played with the wine cup in his hand: “Actually, it is just a small matter, it is rare that several of you live in Taozhi Ferry, and you all remember the unsolved case in August ten years ago, looking for you to come over, I just want you to identify a person.” The
vendors showed fear on their faces, but they were obviously more afraid of Lin Chengyou, looked at each other a few times, and quickly nodded.
Lin Chengyou and Yan Yuexi said, “I know what you are afraid of, rest assured, although that person may be a murderer, as long as you identify him today, I guarantee that this person will not have a chance to retaliate against you in the future.” As
he was speaking, Hong Joinjun suddenly said, “Yan Sizhi, please sit down.”
Lin Chengyou chong Yanji nodded his head, and continued: “Don’t be like Fang Cai, send a person with the clearest mouth, if there is an omission, the rest of the people will help to supplement it.” Yan
Sizhi was surprised and happy, sat down and whispered to Hong, “Did there really happen a suspense case?” Hong Xianjun
nodded: “It’s not a sensation, but there are many people who know.” These Yuezhou merchants lived in Taozhi Ferry in that year, and this time they came to Chang’an to sell goods, and they happened to be resting in the hostel. The
merchants muttered and discussed, and openly elected the man in blue as a representative, who was clearHe cleared his throat and slowly opened his mouth: “It has been more than ten years since this incident, and fortunately some people still remember that there was a family living near our ferry, and the head of the household was surnamed Peng, who was a scholar.”
“Peng Shusheng was not from Yuezhou, I heard that in the early years, I went to Chang’an to participate in scientific expeditions, and after falling in the first place, I returned to my hometown without face, so I simply took my wife around, and then somehow, the family traveled to Yuezhou, not only lived here, but also opened a private school near the Taozhi Ferry.
“When the little man was young, he went to the ferry port to play and often saw Peng Shusheng. After Peng Shusheng opened a private school, although he received very few bundles, but because he did not have a meritorious name, he could not receive a few students, in order to maintain his livelihood, he went to Fang City to sell calligraphy and paintings in his spare time, and sometimes brought needlework made by his wife, but unfortunately Peng Niangzi was a Guanzhong person, and the embroidery work was far inferior to that of the local embroidery lady in Yuezhou——”
Lin Chengyou said coldly: “What is Peng Shusheng’s wife’s surname?” The
blue-robed man pressed his shoulder against his companion, “Do any of you remember?” “Jomo
is surnamed Yin, or Surname Qi.” Someone whispered, “The little man’s brother once went to school at Peng Shusheng’s private school, and said that this master lady was very angry, but unfortunately the master always spoke with a Guanzhong accent, and many words were not understood.” Oh yes, Peng Shusheng has a pair of children under his knees, the eldest lang is about the same age as the little man, if he lives until now, this year is about twenty-six or seven years old, daughter, if he lives until now, he should also be fifteen or sixteen years old.
Lin Chengyou’s eyes fluttered slightly, and he waited patiently for a while, seeing that no one could add any more, so he had to say: “Continue to talk.” The
blue-robed man then said, “When the time comes, the neighbors often ask Peng Shusheng to help write and draw, Peng Shusheng has a soft heart, it is inconvenient to catch up with the hand, as long as he mentions it, Peng Shusheng will never open his mouth to ask for money.” Later, the family’s life became more and more difficult, and the neighbors often sent some food to help them.
“I remember that Peng Shusheng had some sour tempers, his family was so embarrassed, and he did not forget to teach his children to read and write. Villains often see the eldest son of the Peng family squatting at the ferry port reading, not to mention how beautiful the handwriting is, the little daughter of the Peng family, born white and pure Peugeot at a young age, the neighbors sometimes boast a few words, and the Peng couple is also full of glory.
“Just like that, after several years, Peng Shusheng was old, seeing that his fame was hopeless, he stopped going to Chang’an to go to the examination, but he couldn’t give up his face, so he had to secretly follow the people at the ferry to learn to catch fish, and once when Peng Shusheng was fishing for fish at night, he inadvertently saved a person, and it was also a coincidence, this person was one of our local giants, because he lost his foot after drinking, accidentally fell into the river, and Ju Jia was grateful to Peng Shusheng for saving his life. A special banquet was set up to entertain their family, and we all guessed…”
The blue-robed man turned his head and looked to the left and right, as if to confirm whether his statement was correct, and after facing the affirmative eyes of his companions, he opened his mouth again.
“We all guess that the giant gave Peng Shusheng a large amount of remuneration, because since then, Peng Shusheng has rarely gone to the ferry to catch fish, he himself did not want to change clothes, but made a new dress for his wife and daughter, and not long after bought a good pen and ink for Peng Jia Dalang, saying that with the talent of Da Lang, as long as he studied hard for two more years, he could go to Chang’an to go to Research the next year. After a while, Peng Shusheng sold the cold house, took his children to a zhuangzi halfway up the mountain, bought two boats, and hired people to catch fish to sell.
“On the day they moved, the little man and the grandmother also went to join in the fun, and the neighbors knew why the Peng family was so generous, but everyone was so happy to see the Peng family, and no one joked about them.”
“After the Peng family moved, they did not often go down the mountain, and the number of times the old neighbors met was much less, everyone said that the Peng couple was bitter and willing, as long as the Peng family won the examination in the next year, maybe the family would move to Chang’an, but unexpectedly…”
Speaking of this, the blue-robed man’s face showed an unbearable color, and he sighed a few times in succession: “Unexpectedly, the good times will not last long, and it will not be long before the Peng family will have an accident.” At that time, it was august, when there was a famine in the north, many displaced people flocked to the south, and there were often people landing on the taozhi ferry, including many rats and dogs, and there was no less chaos, everyone tried not to go to the ferry in order to take refuge, but the Peng family did not know what evil was in the middle of, but at this moment, under the ferry, unfortunately encountered robbers, and the family suffered. When they were discovered, the boat was all chiseled through, the family of four disappeared, the neighbors rushed to the government to report the crime, salvaged for several days before salvaging the bodies of Peng Shusheng and his wife, the weather in August was extremely hot, and they soaked in the water for so long that neither of them was in human form.
Someone sighed quietly, as if remembering the tragic situation of the day.
The blue-robed man was silent for a while, and said calmly: “The government fished for a few more days, but failed to fish the corpses of the Peng family brothers and sisters, but fished the clothes of the brothers and sisters, the water flowed rapidly, and there was absolutely no hope of survival if they fell, and if they were still alive, the brothers and sisters should have gone ashore a long time ago.” The people in the government also said that Peng Shusheng and his wife had injuries on their heads, and they should have been thrown into the river after being smashed and injured, and when they searched the Peng family’s Zhuangzi, there was nothing of value in the house, and when they looked at it, they knew that they had been robbed of their wealth by the evil people.
“The government also asked us if we had seen the living people come to look for the Peng couple, but the people had not seen each other for a long time, plus the displaced people were running around for a while, each family closed the door, the neighbors did not know what new customers the Peng family had recently, nor did they know why they wanted to go to the ferry, it just so happened that the fisherman hired by the Peng family did not know whereabouts, the government suspected that the fisherman was the murderer, and it was not long before the fisherman’s floating body was found, and it was said that there were injuries on the body. Since then, the government has not been able to find the murderer, and the case has not been solved. The room was
silent, and everyone looked different, and such a good family lost their lives overnight, and anyone who listened to it would feel sorry.
Yan Si sighed while writing straight, Hong Joinjun twisted his eyebrows and did not know what he was thinking, and the merchants looked at the nose, nose, and heart, and occasionally looked up at Lin Chengyou.
Lin Chengyou mozzaned the wine cup in his hand and did not open his mouth for a long time.
Peng Shusheng’s wife’s surname is Yin or Qi, if the surname is Qi, it is likely to be some sister of Qi.
According to this calculation, where Tian Yunde’s two sons stayed for the four months ten years ago seemed to have an answer.
The two sons escaped from Zhangqiu in July and went straight to their sister in Yuezhou, spending a month on the road, and it was almost August when they arrived in Yuezhou.
The Peng family was killed in August.
The strange thing is that when the Tian couple returns to Chang’an, they will have more money to do business. They used the money to open shops in the East Market and start a cloth business.
Ten years passed, the four members of the Peng family turned into a pile of dry bones, but the Tian couple became rich families in Chang’an, and the experience of those four months of that year 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.
Therefore, there is a sin book of “I am a dog and not worthy of life”, so there is a shocking seven-man guiding seal.
Therefore, it was not enough for the man to take the lives of the Tian couple, but also to detain their souls and torture them.
Moreover, the ghosts of the Tian couple once said that the murderer’s surname was Twelve Paintings.
The surname “Peng” is exactly twelve paintings.
Perhaps in that year’s disaster, some people survived.
Lin Chengyou’s face was not alarmed, but in his heart he was already a huge wave, several pending cases, spanning the entire decade, if it were not for his yin and yang mistakenly living in the Cai Feng Lou, he might never know a headless public case ten years ago.
The facts of the case have become clearer and clearer, but somehow, the closer to the truth, the more complicated the taste in the heart, the opposite of yin is yang, the other side of the wrong is right, but there are some things in the world that cannot be measured by wrong or right.
He calmed his mind and said, “Has Peng Shusheng’s children’s corpses never been found?” ”
“Nothing.” The rich man in blue robes shook his head, “Some people drown in our ferry every year, and if the corpse can’t float up, they basically rush downstream.” “Over
the years, have you ever seen anyone in Yuezhou who looks like this brother and sister?”
Several merchants were silent for a moment, and shook their heads one after another: “If you see it, the villain is estimated to be scared to death.” And the Little Lady of the Peng family was only six or seven years old when she died, even if she survived by chance, her appearance also changed, Peng Jia Lang was sixteen or seventeen years old at that time, but after all, it was more than ten years…”
Lin Chengyou stared at them: “The appearance changes again, and the silhouette should also have a little shadow of that year, later I will take you to recognize a few people, if you feel similar, self-care tell me.” Also, do you remember the names of Peng Dalang and Peng Xiaoniang? The
merchants shook their heads: “I remember that Peng Shusheng always called his son ‘Da Lang, Da Lang’, and the little lady didn’t know.”
Lin Chengyou thought about it, and now, he had a general idea of why the murderer murdered the Tian couple, but why Yao Huang sisters were killed was still a mystery.
Remembering the early experience of Sister Yao Huang, he asked: “In the Yuezhou Capital, there was a couple of music workers who were good at ventriloquism, surnamed Nie, and there were two daughters, the eldest named Nie Afu, the younger one was called Nie Afu. Nie Legong was implicated in The Rebellion of Li Changmao, and his daughter was betrayed, have you heard of this? The
merchants replied quickly: “I have heard of it, how come I have not heard of these strange people in Yuezhou City, there is no villain who does not know, Nie Legong imitated birdsong, and was also famous for a while, but they had been living in the city’s Music Fang before the accident, and it was very far from the ferry port.” ”
Don’t you live at Peach Branch Ferry? Lin Chengyou was secretly surprised, and thought that The Yao Huang sisters had only been killed because they recognized the murderer, but it seemed that they had guessed wrong. Since they are not neighbors, the chances of getting to know each other are slim. Moreover, Yao Huang was only eight years old ten years ago, and Qingzhi was only five years old, too young to be impressed by the Peng family’s case.
So why were they killed?
He carelessly poured tea for himself, and after the opening of the Caifeng Building, the Yao Huang sisters lived under the same roof as the murderer, and Qingzhi liked to steal things, and perhaps one day accidentally found evidence that the murderer killed the Tian couple.
No, the murderer is so cautious, how could he let a little girl grab the handle.
But if there is no handle, why is the murderer threatened by Qingzhi?
What exactly is missing… Lin Chengyou’s eyebrows tightened, and he suddenly remembered Rong Shi.
“Have you ever heard of an embroidery lady with the surname Rong?”
Several merchants shook their heads blankly.
Lin Chengyou took out the murderer’s sachet from his arms: “Oh, look at this, do you have an impression?” The
crowd sighed, “This is like the work of the Peach Branch Embroidery Workshop.” “Do
you know this embroidery workshop?”
“Naturally, I know that this embroidery workshop is very famous, just near the ferry, and the word ‘peach branch’ is still based on the name of the ferry.”
Lin Chengyou touched his chin: “Since you are so close, you have heard that an embroidery lady married her daughter to a rich family in Chang’an as a concubine.” The blue-robed
man was about to shake his head, but behind him, a merchant jia looked forward: “Yes, there is such a thing, the little man’s Aunt often goes to the peach branch embroidery workshop to buy work, and she is quite familiar with the people in the embroidery workshop.” About a year or two ago, the little man Ah Niang came home and suddenly said that she had come to see the daughter of an old embroidery lady, and before she knew that she had time to say anything, the lady was favored by the giant Jia from Chang’an, and the giant Jia promised the old embroidery lady a lot of money and brought the little lady to Chang’an. Yan
Sizhi and Hong Joinjun were surprised: “Isn’t this the Rong Clan?” Yes
, Rong’s Ah Niang is a Yuezhou embroidery lady, and the years and months are also right.
Lin Chengyou’s face was a little strange: “According to this, rong clan also lived in Taozhi Ferry in those years?” Then will she also know about the Peng family’s case…”
His voice suddenly stopped and he suddenly got up.
He finally knew why Qingzhi openly said that he and Rong were fellow countrymen!
Everyone only wanted Qingzhi to be popular, because at that time, the Rong clan had been dead for more than a year, and Cai Fenglou was often haunted, not related to others, only a fool would be willing to have a relationship with a dead person.
But it turned out that Qingzhi was not saying crazy things, she was deliberately saying this to the murderer.
She is blackmailing the murderer in this way and she knows his/her secret.
As for how she knew, it was naturally related to The Rong family.
As early as when Rong Shi was still alive, Qing Zhi had accompanied Wo Ji to Cai Shu Xing, and Qing Zhi was bent on finding her lost sister at that time, and hearing Rong s Yuezhou accent, she was bound to think of talking to Rong Shi.
Once they got acquainted, there were more things to talk about, and perhaps Rong Shi had inadvertently said something about the Peng family, which was remembered by Qingzhi.
A year later, the Caifeng Building opened, Qingzhi also followed Wo Ji into the building, she and the murderer face to face every day, maybe at a certain moment, Qingzhi glimpsed the murderer’s secret.
Qingzhi is stupid on the surface, but in fact, she has a deep heart, and after knowing this secret, she takes the opportunity to blackmail the murderer, thinking that she has succeeded, so she has the pile of expensive jewelry hidden under the cherry.
In the process of dealing with Qingzhi, the murderer inadvertently learned that Qingzhi and Yao Huang were sisters, afraid that their secrets would be leaked, and after killing Qingzhi, they gave Yao Huang a hand.
No wonder the murderer obviously hated the Tian couple, but killed the Yao Huang sisters.
Lin Chengyou fixed his eyes on the door, and after the morning drum, the city gradually became lively. Outside, the cars and horses were noisy, but his ears were full of lightning and thunder, several cases were closely linked, and the murderer hardly showed any flaws. If it weren’t for the coincidence of finding these Yuezhou merchants, it might take another ten days to get the truth out.
How long had it been since he had met such a scheming opponent, he was simply scratching his heart, thinking of this person’s usual seamless performance, he couldn’t wait to see the moment when the person was revealed by him.
He lowered his eyes, did not hurry to finish drinking the soup in the tea cup, the more anxious his heart was, the more he had to behave in a hurry, and he straightened his face, he got up and looked around, and smiled: “Let’s go.” Go to the Cai Feng Lou to recognize people, and when you get to Na Mo, you will be silent, and everything will listen to my arrangement.
***
Teng Yuyi practiced his sword alone in the garden.
Last night it rained all night, and it was only clear in the morning, the sun fell on the blue glazed tiles, blooming out of ten million points of light and dangling white light, such a good weather, used to practice sword work with half the effort, but unfortunately the “brown sword method” the more to the back of the more difficult to practice, after learning the first twenty moves, Teng Yuyi’s speed suddenly slowed down, the original move only takes half an hour, and now it takes more than an hour to practice.
It is false to say that she is not in a hurry, and when the weather is clear, she practices very vigorously regardless of the mud on the ground.
Suddenly, a servant led a group of people over and said, “Prince, please avoid it.” The garden had to be vacated to handle cases, and no one could be left for the time being. ”
How did it come again? Teng Yuyi turned around and looked at the people who came, Yan Jizhi knew her, and the rest were all strangers. Lin Chengyou will not find a bunch of raw people for no reason, which must be related to the judgment of the case.
The merchants were also looking at Teng Yuyi, they had been selling goods in two places for many years, and they had already practiced their poisonous eyesight, seeing that this teenager was full of noble temperament, secretly guessing that it was a certain clothed disciple, and somehow pasted so much beard on his face, blocking half of his face.
Teng Yuyi silently retracted his sight, it seems that if the murderer is not caught as soon as possible, she does not want to practice thirty-six moves in one go, the garden can not practice, then go elsewhere, Chong Yanji straight fork hand salute, she deliberately said in a thick voice: “Abel, let’s go.” Saying that he turned
around and went to the Little Buddha Hall, the servants hesitated slightly, and Lin Comment only said that there could be no one left in the garden, but did not say how the Little Buddha Hall was, and then said that this prince seemed to have a lot of trouble, why bother people in vain.
Absolute Saint and Renzhi were sitting on the wall root snoozing, Wu Dao was busy dividing up a few pieces of hu cake, when he looked up and saw Teng Yuyi come in, and was about to ask her why she didn’t practice, when he saw Ya Gong leading a group of well-dressed people in.
“This is?”
Before he could speak, he heard Lin Chengyou’s voice.
Absolute Saint and Renunciation woke up, rubbed their eyes, and said, “Brother Master.”
Not long after, Lin Chengyou came in and said to several merchants: “After a while, you will recognize people in the small Buddha Hall, and even if you recognize them, you will not be silent.”
Several people nodded nervously.
Teng Yuyi had planned to invite Wu Dao to practice his sword elsewhere, but when he saw the situation, he was aroused by curiosity, and Lin Chengyou was busy all night and seemed to have found a lot of things.
Do you want to stay and watch the hilarity, or go back to your room to practice your sword?
Lin Chengyou turned back to arrange a few Daoist monks, not to be careful to see Teng Yuyi, he touched his chin and thought, didn’t she say last night that he had no clue, and today she just asked her to open her eyes.
“Yo.” He smiled and said, “Unfortunately disturbing the prince to learn the art, this little Buddha hall we have to use to do things, for a while and a half will not be able to practice the sword.” The prince is no better than others, learning things is too slow, it is better to move elsewhere as soon as possible, so as not to delay your learning of the sword.
Teng Yuyi suddenly felt deceitful, this remark was obviously sarcastic, but it was also vaguely permeated with the meaning of “provoking the general”, on the theory Lin Chengyou would not like them to go far, and “provoke” her to stay and do what?
Knowing that Lin Chengyou did not have good intentions, she still could not resist the temptation of “identifying the murderer”, simply put on a lively posture, and smiled sweetly: “This little kung fu Wang Mou can still afford to delay.” Since Shizi is very willing for us to stay and watch the hilarity, it is not shameful under the sun. Lin Chengyou’s
face was quite thick, and he did not change his smile when he was punctured, but he said in his heart, this is what you want to stay with yourself, and you will take a good look at it later.
He turned his head to say something to Wudao, and someone from the garden came.
Wu Dao looked at the merchants and couldn’t help but say, “Shizi, do they recognize the murderer?” ”
Shhh, don’t talk.” Lin Chengyou looked out through the pane, “Let them try.”
Absolute Saint and Ren zhi wanted to go straight to the master brother, see the master brother’s face was solemn, realized that the atmosphere was not right, crept to Teng Yuyi’s side, and looked out with Teng Yuyi.
The first one to come was Kudzu. The servant led her to a nearby peony bush and stood still,
