"With the girl's cleverness, she would never do such a loophole thing, Jiao Xiaomei was killed on the night of the lunar eclipse, that day, Xin'an City curfew, there were only a few people on the street, the girl chose to do it at that time, didn't it make it clear to tell me that you killed the person?
Also, I regret that you are a very good person in her heart, and you will never do anything to destroy your conscience, although she is simple, she sees people transparently, I believe in her, and naturally I believe in the girl. ” Yan Niang snorted, "The first reason makes some sense, as for the second one," there was a hint of sly light in her eyes, "My lord, you are not an innocent little girl like Miss Jiang, will you believe her words?"
” Cheng Muyou was stunned for a moment, and then looked at her with a straight face, "Even if I regret not saying this to me, I still choose to believe you, it depends on whether the girl is willing to believe what Cheng said." ” Yan Niang stared at Cheng Muyou with her arms crossed, staring at him a little panicked, and finally, when she heard a rush of footsteps behind her, the common smile appeared on her face again, and slowly stepped aside, "The officials of Kaifeng Mansion have come to catch people, my lord, do you have your own opinions on these cases?"
” Cheng Muyou also stepped aside, he looked at the salvaged corpse, and said softly to Yan Niang: "The people who were killed are smooth and flat, and the skin does not look like it has been peeled off, but like it has been shed by itself, and there are boxy marks near the corpse, like shoe prints, which are a little different from shoe prints.
As he spoke, he took out the piece of paper with the seal from the placket of his shirt and handed it to Yan Niang.
Yan Niang glanced at it, and then the corners of her mouth curled, "My lord, I've seen this mark." ” "You've seen it?"
"In the fifth year of the Taiping Rejuvenation of the Kingdom, the Japanese Tiantai Sect senior monk led the disciples to Chengsuan, Zuo Yi, Jiayin and other six people to Bianliang to study, at that time, I was in Bianliang, and happened to see their six masters and apprentices," her eyes flowed, clear as a clear stream, "They walked through the royal street, their shoes stepped on the stone road, making a tuk tuk sound, like wood hitting the ground." ” "Wood knocks on the ground" Cheng Muyou suddenly realized, "I understand, this boxy seal is the base of the clogs, so the person who killed and skinned was actually a woman from the East." ” Yan Niang looked up at him, "Woman?
Why are you so sure?
” "Wen Shangshu's daughter is holding a corner of her clothes, which is embroidered with white morning flowers, so I guessed that the murderer was a woman."
"Chaoyan flower?
White Chaoyan," Yan Niang sneered twice, "My lord guessed well, my Song Dynasty women rarely use Chaoyan flowers on their clothes, let alone white Chaoyan, because this flower is fragile and fleeting, and it means that the day is precarious, but this kind of flower in Japan means noble and quiet beauty, and it is a pattern that can only be used by women with royal blood." ” "In this way, the murderer who has killed countless people is really a Japanese woman, but why did she come all the way to the Great Song Dynasty and still do evil here?"
Yan Niang shook her head, "We just guessed her identity, but we are still far from the real mystery, only when the real murderer is caught, can we know her motive for committing the murder."
After speaking, she made a gesture, "My lord, I still have some things to do, so don't leave it at that." ” Cheng Muyou was stunned, "Then where am I going to find the girl?"
” "Don't worry, my lord, I'll come to you when it's time to come."
The night was already deep, seeing that the light of the candle was getting weaker and weaker, Zhao Zeping put down the book in his hand, stood up on the table, picked up the scissors and gently cut it on the wick, the candlelight shook twice, not only did not burn, but "whew" extinguished.
A black shadow appeared by the window, safe and sound, looking at Zhao Zeping in the house through a window.
"You're here."
After a long time, Zhao Zeping spit out these three words.
"Lord Zhao, everything is fine."
The voice was like a silver bell.
"It's good, it's just that my old friends are no longer there, and I often feel lonely."
"I just walked around the adult's mansion, and the current Prime Minister's Mansion is not as luxurious as before."
"Zhao has entered the age of the broken candle, and he just wants to do his last effort for the Jiangshan Society, and the others have long been regarded as floating clouds."
"That's very good."
After saying these four words, the two of them stopped talking, and just looked at each other quietly, letting the time flow in the hot heat but not stop flowing for a moment.
After about a quarter of an hour, the man outside the window moved slightly, as if he was about to leave.
Zhao Zeping hurriedly stepped forward, "Why did you let Shen Qing come to me?"
” "He is a pillar of talent, a need of the country."
"Then you don't want to know why I want to go back to the court?"
"The reason why I asked Shen Qing to come to you is that I know that you will come back sooner or later."
There was silence again, and this time, the person outside the window took the lead in speaking, "At the Ten Year Sacrifice, there were a total of six people present, can you guess the identities of these people?"
” "There are only five I can think of, and the other one, I really don't know who."
The person outside the window smiled, "Coincidentally, I can't figure out who this sixth person is." ” "The first emperor was wise, and there are people who are as worried about him as we are" When the words fell, Zhao Mingze found that the figure outside the window was gone, he pushed the door and chased it out, but under the shining starlight, where was there still half a figure, he sighed and smiled bitterly, "I haven't seen you for many years, even you are stable and deep, what you shouldn't say, you will hide it well, even in front of me, you won't put your heart into it." ” Jiang Xixi stood in front of He Xu, looking his eyebrows and figure up and down, although he had a long scar on his face, he still couldn't hide the deep and distinct facial features below, coupled with his strong and slender body, he was really a handsome man.
Jiang Xixi tried not to add any emotional color to the heart of the comment: The appearance is really not worse than that of adults, but he looks like a reckless man, there are not a few drops of ink in his stomach, adults are full of poetry and books, and when he speaks, he must be much better than him.
He Xu also looked at Jiang Xixi, and saw her staring at herself, without saying a word, he walked up to her, "Girl, my subordinate said that you claimed to be Shuyuan's old friend, so I let you into the mansion, but why didn't you say a word for a long time?"
” Jiang Xixi stood up straight, "Lord He, we don't talk darkly, we have already met outside the Cheng family cemetery a few days ago, you won't forget me so quickly, right?"
” He Xu coughed a little embarrassed, and then raised his head again, "Yes, I saw the girl that day, but are you really Shuyuan's friend?"
Judging from the girl's age, the difference between the two of you is seven or eight years, and when she dies, you should still be a child, how can you become her friend?
