The streets of Yuquan Town were extremely deserted, and there was no lively atmosphere that should have been there before the festival, only the "kiln" stood alone on the corner of the street, and looked coldly at Cheng Muyou leading a long team towards Jingfu.
The Jing family's mansion is right in front of you, but the strange thing is that there is not even a person guarding the door outside, and the gate is not locked, it is wide open, showing the chaotic scene inside at a glance.
Cheng Muyou glanced at Shi Jin, Shi Jin jumped off the horse in understanding, walked into the door and grabbed a little girl who was running forward with a basin and asked, "What's wrong, why are these people messed up into a pot of porridge?"
” When the girl saw that the people from the government had arrived, she immediately stood up, "Miss, Miss, she committed suicide by hanging from the beam, and now the person has not been rescued......"
Hearing this, Cheng Muyou jumped off the horse in shock, and he walked to the front in three or two steps, "You mean Miss Jing committed suicide?"
” The little girl's face was as dead as ashes, "Miss has always gotten up early, but today the Qiuyue girl in her room found that the door had been closed, so she went in to check, who knew but found that Miss She had been hanging on a white silk, fortunately, the time was not too long, and the person had not completely lost her breath, but she was in a coma until now, and she didn't know if she would wake up in the future."
She wiped away a handful of tears, "But the worse is yet to come." ” "What happened next?"
Cheng Muyou asked anxiously.
"The master was anxious about this matter, but the people below found that the young master was missing, he took away half of the silver tickets in the house, and the people didn't know where they went, but the master found it in the young master's room......
Found ......" she couldn't go on, her face was red and white.
Cheng Muyou already understood a little in his heart, he took a big step and walked inside, Yan Niang and the Shi family brothers followed behind him, and stepped into this gorgeous and gloomy Jing family mansion.
Jing Chenjin's room was full of people, and Master Jing was in the middle of the crowd, but he was now leaning on a chair, long since he lost his mind, and his white beard and eyebrows hung down on his face, making him much older than his actual age.
Seeing Cheng Muyou walk into the house, an old slave led by him knelt down with a "bang", "My lord, my lord......
The lord is already unconscious, and the young lady's life and death are uncertain, can you ask the adults to wait for the lord's body to recover before coming to investigate in detail. ” Cheng Muyou saw him in front of a screen with a panicked expression, and knew that there was a ghost in it, he walked to the screen quietly, staring at the old slave's wrinkled face like a walnut, "Investigate?"
Is there anything in this Jingfu that needs to be investigated in detail by my Xin'an Mansion?
After speaking, he stepped back slightly, and slammed into the screen, knocking the hollow carved screen to the ground.
There was an exclamation from the crowd, and they ran towards Cheng Muyou in a hurry, trying to lift the screen, but it was too late, the moment the screen fell to the ground, the sandalwood cabinet behind it was already exposed to everyone's eyes, the cabinet door was open, and there were several rows of strange things inside.
Cheng Muyou walked to the cabinet, he took out a bottle, pulled out the cork and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it, and then picked up another one, after smelling it all, he quietly picked up the whip and all kinds of needles in the two layers below, and carefully checked them one by one.
His movements were slow, but it was like torture to the kneeling servants in the room, and he peeled off the gorgeous coat of Jingfu layer by layer in front of them, revealing a dirty layer of lice inside.
Finally, he checked all the items in the cabinet, and then turned his head to look at Shi Jin, "Move these whips and needles to the Shen ancestral hall, I will compare them with the wounds on the corpse one by one, and send a team of people to chase along the road, and be sure to catch Jing Chenjin back for me." ” "Yes."
Shi Jin roared, startling the old slave next to him, "But my lord, what should I do with these bottles?"
” "Fire Spirit Library, Wushi San, Danyang Ginseng ......"
Cheng Muyou had a cold smile on his face, and pronounced these names in turn, "These are all rare kitsch medicines, isn't it a pity to throw them away." ” Hearing him grit his teeth and say these words, Jing Yunlai, who had gradually woken up, couldn't hold back any longer, he trembled and helped the old slave to stand up, opened his mouth a few times, but didn't say anything, only a few drops of saliva flowed out of the corners of his mouth, wetting the clothes on his chest.
"Master, master, don't scare me."
Seeing this, the old slave hugged Jing Yunlai's trouser legs, and turned his head to look at Cheng Muyou, "Master Cheng, he doesn't know anything about these things that the young master does, otherwise he wouldn't be angry like this, don't look at the old man's usual body, but no matter what, he is also an old man who is over the age of sixties, so please raise your noble hand and allow the old slave to take him into the inner room to rest first."
He knelt down and moved a few steps forward as he spoke, "My lord, you have to look at the face of the Buddha if you don't look at the monk's face, my lord is the emperor's prince after all, even if his son commits a serious crime, it can't affect him." ” Cheng Muyou glanced at Jing Yunlai, and saw that the corners of his eyes were full of tears, his mouth trembled and leaned to the side of his face, he had a stroke, so it was not easy to entangle it anymore, he turned his head and said to Shi Jin: "The search of the entire Jing Mansion inside and out is clear, and no detail can be let go, and also, find all the little maids who are serving Jing Chenjin, and clean all the words in their stomachs for me, and I can't leave a word." ” "My lord, Miss Jiang, will she already ......"
Shi Jin said the thing that Cheng Muyou was most worried about.
"No," he interrupted Shi Jin categorically, "with her pity character, I believe that she would rather die than let that beast succeed."
When he said the word "death", Cheng Muyou's heart "chuckled", and he was out of breath for a long time.
It was late at night when the matter of settling Jing Mansion was settled, but there was still no progress in the case, and the people close to Jing Chenjin seemed to know nothing about his evil deeds, and in the end, Shi Jin got angry and smashed a few stones, but those people were still kneeling on the ground and trembling, unable to say half a word.
And at this side, Jing Yunlai still looked overly frightened, and several doctors shook their heads and walked out when they entered the inner room, at a loss for his sudden illness.
As time passed, Cheng Muyou's heart seemed to be frying on a simmering fire, and he was restless.
He simply walked to a deserted courtyard next to him, trying to breathe and think about what to do next, but found that Yan Niang had already arrived one step ahead of him, and at this moment she was sitting on the stone steps, sipping a glass of wine to the moon.
