"Leaving Xin'an?"
Yan Niang pursed her lips, "The position of Chengzhilang in the court is just vacant, so Lord Wang recommended an official to the saint."
Cheng Muyou lowered his eyelids to hide the shock in his eyes, "Madame also wants me to leave Xin'an?"
” "I" Yan Niang felt that she had suddenly become clumsy, and she chewed the word "yes" in her mouth repeatedly, but finally failed to say it.
She already knew that Cheng Dexuan had great expectations for Cheng Muyou, and she also knew that he was by no means a fish in the pond, and he would not just be a small county magistrate.
But on the other hand, she also knew that Cheng Muyou was not interested in adding an official to the knighthood, he was only interested in the people's livelihood, and he had only been in Xin'an for less than two years, and now he persuaded him to leave, he would definitely be reluctant to give up. was entangled and uneasy in her heart, the door of the house was suddenly pushed open, and a cold air rushed in from the outside, which made Yan Niang's mind sober up in an instant.
Jiang Xixi stood at the door, the corners of her mouth were still stained with a trace of wonton oil, she wiped her mouth casually, bowed her head and saluted, "My lord, a man named Jin Chen came to report the case, saying that his younger brother was killed. ” When Cheng Muyou took Jiang Xixi and Xu Ziming to Jin's house, the small courtyard of the small farm house was already crowded with neighbors watching the excitement.
Seeing that the people from the government were coming, the noisy voices were a lot quieter, but there were still a few words of discussion that had been lowered and reached the ears of several people.
"Coming back and leaving, isn't this a life for a life?"
"So, there is no good thing about pie in the sky at all, the Jin family is destined to lose a child, and it can't go against the destiny of heaven."
Hearing these gossips, Xu Ziming moved closer and whispered, "Miss Jiang, do you understand what they say?"
” Jiang Xixi shrugged his shoulders and twitched the corners of his mouth, "I don't understand what they say, I just know that people love to watch other people's liveliness, you see their eyes shining one by one, as if other people's pain can increase their own pleasure." ” Xu Ziming looked back, and saw that those people stretched their necks one by one, looking towards the wing room to the west, and the sad cries coming from the wing room deepened the curiosity and excitement on their faces, making those faces look a little hideous.
"Go and go, don't even look at it, it's a dead person, it's not a happy event, is it so good-looking?"
Xu Ziming had a fire in his heart, he waved his hand to drive those people out of the courtyard, and only then did he take three steps and two steps to follow Cheng Muyou, and walked into the wing room with him.
There was a strong smell of blood in the west wing, which made Xu Ziming a little nauseous, but when he saw the source of the smell, it was not just nausea, he felt that the soles of his feet were soft, as if he was stepping on a ball of soft cotton, and he couldn't move his legs forward at all.
Jiang Xixi was the same as him, she dragged her steps forward for a few feet, then stopped, covered her mouth and stood in place, her face full of horror, and watched Cheng Muyou walk into the house alone, towards the wooden bed that had been stained red with blood.
"My lord, early this morning, I found that my little brother hadn't gotten up, so I came to the room to call him, and I didn't think about it."
Jin Chen, who entered the house with them, couldn't say any more, he knelt beside his parents and Xiuxiu, covering his mouth and sobbing silently.
Cheng Muyou walked to the side of the bed and stood still, his gaze shifted from the wooden bed to the wall, and then from the wall to the eaves above his head.
These places were covered in black-red blood and broken flesh, and he even saw half of his intestines hanging from the foot of the bed, dripping blood downward.
"What about people?"
It took a long time for him to squeeze these two words out of the corners of his mouth, but after asking, he himself gasped: What about people?
The man is here, but he has become a bed of minced meat, a wall full of blood, and some remnants of his belly He turned his head hurriedly, his gaze swept over the four people who were kneeling on the ground, and his tone was rapid and majestic, "How did he become like this?"
Did he become like this, and you didn't hear a single movement?
” "My lord, Xiao Yu came back late yesterday, and after returning home, he slept without even eating, although he didn't look right at the time, but I didn't pay attention to it, I just wanted to wait for him to wake up and ask the reason.
But who knows, who knows that this morning I found this room full of blood, last night was windy, I was woken up a few times a night, but I really didn't hear any other movement, and please be enlightened.
Jin Chen climbed forward a few steps and grabbed the corner of Cheng Muyou's clothes, "My lord, please make the decision for the little family and find out the murderer of the little brother, he died too miserably." ” When the words fell, the old couple of the Jin family were already crying, and the old lady Jin was crying so much that she almost lost her breath, and her thin body collapsed on the ground, completely losing her strength.
Cheng Muyou had to let Jiang Xixi help the old couple out to avoid them being stimulated again.
Seeing a few people walk out of the room, he squinted down the corner of his eyes, staring at the figure who had not spoken.
"You are Jin Chen's wife and Jin Yu's sister-in-law?"
He looked at Xiuxiu and slowly asked this sentence.
Xiuxiu raised her head, and a few strands of messy hair covered her pale face, like a criss-crossing web.
"I am."
She said the words with difficulty, then pursed her lips and lowered her eyelids, hiding her eyes under her thick eyelashes.
"Didn't you hear anything last night?"
Cheng Muyou looked at her slightly trembling eyelashes and chased after her.
"The people didn't hear anything," Xiuxiu's lips moved twice, and she said these words in a weak mosquito and fly voice.
"I didn't hear anything," Cheng Muyou repeated the sentence, a sneer welling up on his lips, "Your in-laws are old and live in the backyard, they didn't hear anything, but I believe it."
But you and Jin Chen's house is next to it, deaf and blind, Jin Yu was made like this, but you didn't hear anything, do you think I will believe the nonsense of your husband and wife?
After speaking, he grabbed Jin Chen, who was kneeling on the ground, and dragged him to the side of the bed, "Look at it, do you know what this is?"
This is not called murder, this is called cannibalism, eating meat and drinking blood, leaving behind the dregs of the house.
You said you didn't hear such a big movement?
” These words were like a thunderclap, exploding above Jin Chen and Xiuxiu's heads.
Xiuxiu's face turned whiter, and she collapsed to the ground, her chest rising and falling.
Jin Chen looked at the wooden bed in front of him that even the futon was soaked in black and red, and suddenly fell down in front of Cheng Muyou's boots, he kowtowed a few times, and said word by word, "My lord, I understand what you mean, what you say is nothing more than that we husband and wife have something to hide from you, but adults also know that our brother died strangely, you look at the blood and broken flesh in this room, do you still think that this is the hand of our husband and wife?"
