Cheng Muyou looked at the painting, his face was slightly embarrassed, he smiled unnaturally, put the painting away and put it back into the box.
Liu Xujiao coughed lightly and leaned forward, "Master Cheng, that Miss Jing is very beautiful, and she is infatuated with you, isn't Brother Ren the slightest bit tempted?"
” "It's me who has failed Miss Jing's love."
Cheng Muyou pushed the wooden box towards the corner of the table, using body language to show that he didn't want to waste his tongue on this matter.
Liu Xujiao laughed, "Okay, okay, it's me who is abrupt, but Brother Ren just has any ideas, and it's impossible, Miss Jing has decided to escape into the empty door and donate all the property in Jingfu after selling it. ” "Miss Jing is indeed a pity, although she was born in a rich family, she has never enjoyed half a moment of warmth."
Cheng Mu muttered.
But she was imprisoned by the so-called family affection and hid this big secret for her father and brother.
However, the women in the stupa were cared for by her own hands, at least not from sickness and hunger. ” "Thanks to her, we were able to find out the real culprit behind the scenes, and we didn't let those girls die in vain."
"So that's why Xin'an Mansion doesn't pursue her?"
Liu Xujiao's eyes were shining, as if they were full of moonlight.
"That's not the case," Cheng Muyou didn't avoid his eyes, "I have always been lenient or even not punished by hiding from relatives in the law, especially fathers and sons, not to mention that Jing Chenyu has merit and demerits in this matter, considering that it can be offset by merit, I took it upon myself to exempt her from punishment, of course, if Lord Liu feels that Xin'an Mansion has made a mistake in judging the case, he can make it clear to the saint, and Cheng will never stop it." ” Liu Xujiao looked at him fixedly for a while, raised his hand and poured a glass of wine and handed it over, "Lord Cheng, what I said just now does mean to test the adult, but the adult is open-minded, the words are reasonable, and there is no intention of covering up.
As he spoke, he drank the contents of the cup.
"Lord Liu is serious."
Cheng Muyou also raised his head and toasted.
"By the way, I also heard a strange thing when I went back this time," Liu Xuzhu turned his body to Cheng Muyou, "Jing Chenjin is dead." ” "Dead?
My people have been looking for him for so long and haven't found his whereabouts, how did he die?
Cheng Muyou's tone was hurried.
"It's strange to say, he died in the downtown of Luoyang City, his stomach was cut into a hole, and his intestines were broken into several pieces, but the murderer was nowhere to be found."
"No one saw who he was with before he died?"
"He was tightly packed, and his whereabouts were secretive, and he was only discovered to be Jing Chenjin after his death, so no one would notice whether he was accompanied by anyone."
Cheng Muyou stood up, his voice seemed to float in another world, "There was a hole in the stomach, but something like a dagger was done?"
” "It's strange here, according to the people of Jingfu, the thing on his stomach looks like it was scratched by the claws of a wild beast......"
The expression on Cheng Muyou's face seemed to be frozen, and it hadn't changed for a long time, Liu Xujiao looked at him, and a chill suddenly appeared all over his body, he didn't understand why this sentence made this thoughtful and unfazed Lord Cheng become so uneasy, so he also stood up from the stone bench, walked to Cheng Muyou's side, and followed his gaze to the edge of the courtyard wall, "Do you have any high opinion about Jing Chenjin's death?"
The younger brother is willing to listen to him. ” Cheng Muyou came back to his senses, and the expression on his face returned to a calm appearance, "No," he looked at Liu Xujiao, "I was just thinking, maybe Jing Yunlai offended far more people than we thought, so even the life of his own son was calculated, or not, Jing Chenjin was inseparable from what his father committed, and it can be regarded as deserved." ” "But Jing Chenjin's death is a little strange."
Liu Xujiao knew that things were by no means as simple as he said.
Cheng Muyou smiled, his voice mixed with a little relief, "There are a lot of strange people and strange things in the rivers and lakes, if they are not within the jurisdiction of the government, why should we force a foot in it, Brother Xian, don't you say?"
” "It's finished?"
The right ear came back from playing outside, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw a screen in the middle of the courtyard, and the moon-white silk cloth set off the petals of those flowers more and more bewitching, like a demon girl desperately absorbing the light of the moon.
With the lesson of the last time, his right ear didn't dare to get too close, he poked his head to look at the demon flowers, and his eyes gradually flashed with psychedelic colors, "What is the purpose of this flower?"
” Yan Niang walked out from behind the screen and said to him casually, "Didn't I tell you yesterday that it can bring the souls of the dead back to the world." ” "What about bringing it back?
There are a lot of wandering souls in the world, and they are not all outside the living, and they can't do anything at all, in my opinion, it is better to enter the six realms early, reincarnate early, and be a good man after a few decades. ” Yan Niang sighed lightly, "A monster is a monster, you have lived for such a long time, but you don't know that the most difficult thing in the world to cross is the word 'unwilling', unwilling to be forgotten, unwilling to be slaughtered, so I would rather be a wandering soul than rely on the world."
But," Yan Niang walked to the screen, her fingers caressing the delicate petals on it, and a meaningful smile appeared on her face, "the undead flower can help them with this." ” The right ear blinked, "What is the purpose of this flower?"
” "Let the spirits of the dead reappear in another form."
"Another form?"
The right ear sighed and praised, and looked at the few undead flowers that were desperately extending their bodies and releasing a mysterious charm outward, "But people are dead, and the gods are immortal and extinction, just like the woman I met at the street just now, her head was smashed by a carriage, and her body was killed, in what form does she want to return to the world?"
” Yan Niang grinned, with a little mischievous in her voice, "It's just right, they came back with you." ” The right ear quickly turned his head, but he only saw a void of blackness, "Where, the girl doesn't want to lie to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, his hair suddenly floated straight forward, followed by a fishy smell from under his nose.
The undead flower emitted a bright white light that illuminated the courtyard and the two black shadows swaying in the wind behind the screen.
"Wow......"
A voice like a cat meowing and a baby crying came from behind the screen, the voice was very faint, weak, as if it was about to die.
"Child, my poor child......"
The woman's cry followed, and her right ear trembled.
