MTL - Capture the Jade-Chapter 39 (two)

It is so intact, have you also suspected Qi's cause of death? "

"Yes." Hong Canjun said sternly, "Qi's temperament is domineering, and even if he seeks death, he will not compare himself to a 'dog she'. With the idea of ​​seeking death, just a few days before she hanged herself, she divided her jewelry into several parts and donated them to several Buddhist temples. I just thought, Qi's family has no children and no daughters, and when Tian Yunde died, Qi's family will die. It can be considered helpless, and the idea of ​​seeking death has arisen overnight, and even a major change in temperament is possible."

Lin Chengyou snorted: "But this does not rule out the possibility of vendetta, the tone of the letter is too weird, it clearly means punishment, and judging from Qi's attitude towards Rong, she will take the initiative to repent. People? In addition to inventorying the property, can Hong can check who the Tian family has ever had a grudge against?"

Hong Canjun quietly sweated on his back. To be honest, he originally despised such a valuable child as Lin Chengyou, but he was always pointing fingers at every place because of his family and background. No fur was touched.

Of course, he only murmured these words in his heart, without revealing it on his face, and in order not to be criticized, he made adequate preparations before coming tonight, but Lin Chengyou was so thoughtful, one sentence after another, which soon became overwhelming.

He hurriedly cheered up and responded: "I checked. Tian Yunde is a smooth person, and most of the people who communicate with each other on weekdays are wealthy and wealthy. I heard that they get along well, and they never have bad relations with others. Even if Qi's conflicts with people, it is nothing more than business. During the investigation, I found a very strange thing: Tian and his wife have no relatives, let alone entertain relatives from other places.”

Lin Chengyou said with a "huh": "Interesting, the Tian family are originally from Zhangqiu, and they moved to Chang'an only ten years ago in Dongyue. Zhangqiu is not too far from Chang'an, and logically, they will not be blocked from hearing about their relatives in their hometown."

"Beijing thinks so too." Hong Canjun said suspiciously, "The Tian family is rich, 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 join them. At first, the poor family didn't believe this, but the store The clerk in the house and the neighbors on the left and right can testify, and after Qi's death, no relatives came to organize the funeral. I thought at the time that it was not that Qi's precious jewelry was donated to the temple before his death. It turned out that there was no relative in the world. ."

Lin Chengyou asked logically, "So Hong Shenjun can check what happened to the Tian family in Zhangqiu ten years ago?"

Hong Canjun's face was hot, and the investigation was not deep, not to mention it had been more than a year.

Fortunately, his complexion was dark, and his blushing was not obvious. He said shyly: "Biezhi wrote a letter to the secretary of Zhangqiu's house to join the army, asking them about the relatives and old friends of the Tian family in Zhangqiu. But he did not wait for the letter to be sent. When I came here, there was another case in the county. The humble position was incapable of being independent, thinking that after investigating these days, the cause of Tian's couple's death was not suspicious. In addition, Dong Ming's house urged another case to be investigated, and the humble position... the humble position was also lost. Start."

Lin Chengyou rushed to join the army and spread out his palm: "Where is the letter?"

Hong Canjun coughed awkwardly, because his voice was so loud that his eardrums were buzzing.

Lin Chengyou's smile didn't change, but his tone became a little bit colder: "Since it's an official letter, there's no reason why Zhangqiu Manor will not return."

Hong Canjun's face was blushing for a while, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Lin Chengyou: "I brought the letter, I'm afraid that Lin Pingshi would laugh at his humble job and careless, so I didn't feel embarrassed to take it out."

Lin Chengyou shook the floating ash on the envelope. It seemed that the letter had been sitting in the corner for more than a year. Fortunately, Hong Canjun was not so confused that he threw the letter away. He really wanted to go to Zhangqiu again. Letter, at least it will take ten days to get a reply.

The director of Zhangqiu House was very careful and listed all the three relatives and six dependents of the Tian family and Qi family on the paper, Tian Yunde on the left and Qi's family on the right.

Tian Yunde's grandfather and mother have long since passed away, and there is only one younger brother. Because Tian's father is the only son, Tian Yunde has no uncles, brothers and nephews. After Tian Yunde's younger brother died of illness eleven years ago, there are only two Tian Yunde left in the Tian family. Mouth.

There are not many relatives on Qi's side. Qi's is the youngest daughter, and there are two older sisters. The Qi family has always been poor, and the mother and father died of illness one after another before Qi's marriage. No audio for years.

As for whether the Tian family and his wife had ever made enemies in Zhangqiu, the other party wrote in the letter: According to the household registration, the Tian family and the Qi family left Zhangqiu in July of the Dingmao year, and since then the Tian family and Qi family have become extinct in the local area , Don't forget to remember what happened more than ten years ago, and not many people even know about these two couples.

After Yan Sizhi read the letter, his expression was a little strange: "I thought this couple was deliberately avoiding the enemy, but it turns out that there are really no relatives in their hometown."

Lin Chengyou suddenly said, "No."

Yan Sizhi and Hong Canjun said in surprise: "What's wrong."

"The day is wrong." Lin Chengyou clicked on a place on the letter, "The letter said that the Tian family left Zhangqiu in July, but according to the household registration records in Wannian County, the Tian family only arrived in November. Chang'an. Where did they go for four months from July to November?"

Needless to say, the needles fell in the house. Four months were long or short. In addition to eating and drinking, the two big living people needed a place to live.

"Furthermore, the Tian couple kept saying that they made their fortune because Qi sold the dowry, but as stated in the letter, Qi was born in a poor family, so how could such a large dowry be available for her to sell? Even if there is some surplus in the family, after a Even the famine was used in exchange for food.”

Hong Canjun was determined to make up for his mistakes, and wished he could scavenge all the clues he knew: "But according to the investigation, when Tian and his wife first arrived in Chang'an ten years ago, they rented a shop in Dongshi to sell valuable fabrics."

Lin Chengyou glanced at him: "Don't you think it's strange, it's not easy to rent a shop in Dongshi City, and selling expensive cloth like daffodil requires a lot of money. If the dowry is fake, where did the money come from?"

Yan Sizhi said suspiciously: "You mean—"

Lin Chengyou saw the horror of the ghosts of the Tians and his wife, and sneered: "I was thinking about what happened in those four months. If you can understand what the Tians did in those years, maybe you will be able to know the murderer's motive."

Hong Shenjun was both shocked and regretful: "So the Tian family was really murdered?"

Lin Chengyou turned around and pointed to Qi's splendid letter: "The murderer can deceive others but cannot deceive us, this letter is exactly the same as Qimang's way of guiding the road, using the method of pulling the soul and holding the soul, and manipulating the victim like a puppet. Get up, and then ask him to write a letter and hang himself. I think if the coffin is opened for autopsy, there should be some needle holes left on Qi's clothes. "

Hong Canjun's face was gloomy. Qi's death had been more than a year, and the body had already been corrupted. If he wanted to open the coffin to find clues, it was easier said than done. He only hated that he closed the case too hastily. .

Lin Chengyou suddenly said again: "Yan Sizhi, Hong joins the army, if your family flees the famine, where would you consider going first?"

Yan Sizhi came back to his senses: "When you are hungry and hungry, you can count on relatives to take them in."

"But the Tian family has no relatives to go to." Lin Chengyou took two steps in front of the table slowly, "Qi's has two older sisters, for the Tian's couple at that time, there is no better place than this, it's a pity The letter didn't say where they married, otherwise they might know where the Tian couple lived for the past four months."

As he spoke, he calculated in his heart that he would flee from Zhangqiu to somewhere, and then from somewhere to Chang'an. When the Tian family reappeared, he would already have an extra amount of money for business.

The circumstances of these four months changed the fate of Tian's life.

four months...

four months...

Lin Chengyou's eyelids jumped.

Shouldn't that place be-

He stood dumbfounded in the room, only to feel that the various clues gradually pointed to a certain place clearly.

Yuezhou, sisters Yao Huang, the sachet from Taozhi Embroidery Workshop, the four months when Tian's couple disappeared for no reason...

He raised his head sharply: "Yan Sizhi, please send a letter to Yuezhou Prefecture in the name of Dali Temple, and after writing it, it will be delivered overnight."

Yan Sizhi was stunned, and quickly grabbed his sleeves and picked up a pen: "What do you want to ask?"

"I would like to know if there was any unsolved case in Yuezhou between August and October ten years ago. The location may be near Taozhi Ferry. The murderer has not been caught yet." Lin Chengyou turned around and hurried out, "Hong Canjun, you Come out with me."

Hong Canjun stood up in surprise: "Where are we going?"

"Let's try our luck. There are just a few officials in the east of Jiangnan to report their work in Beijing. If you are lucky, maybe someone will remember what happened in Yuezhou ten years ago. If no one can remember, there are still a few hotels in the city run by Yuezhou people. , look for someone to ask carefully."

Lin Chengyou went downstairs while talking, there was no one in the hall, and there was silence everywhere.

He walked to the front of the court and looked around, suddenly bent his fingers into a ring, and blew a whistle.

Hong Canjun followed closely behind Lin Chengyou, and stopped in confusion when he saw this, only to hear the night wind passing through the hall, and the light creaking of the lantern hooks from under the eaves.

After the whistle, the wind seemed to stagnate for a moment. Hong Canjun was feeling strange when he heard a faint sound from the roof, as if a giant was sneaking quietly on the roof.

The cold hair on Hong Canjun's back stood up. He had practiced martial arts for many years, and when he heard it, he knew that the thing on the roof was by no means good.

However, before he could draw the knife, Lin Chengyou held down his hilt.

Lin Chengyou turned his head and glanced at Hong Canjun, and said with a half-smile, "Let's go."

Hong Jianjun was full of doubts, and seeing that Lin Chengyou had turned around and walked towards the gate, he had to swallow the words back in 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 Jianjun, look at this, when the Tian family passed away, did you see who came and went here? Have you ever been to Caibo?"

Hong Canjun took the paper and saw the names of Wo Ji and other six people written on it. They were all old residents of Pingkangfang, and he had some impression of the names.

He knew that this was probably the list of suspects, so he thought carefully: "In the days when Tian's wife and his wife died, many people came to watch the fun. Others... can't really remember."

Walkie and Kazuki? Lin Chengyou took control of the reins: "What unusual behavior did they have at that time?"

Hong Canjun shook his head: "I just remember that they were crowded in the crowd to watch the fun, and they dispersed when we drove them away. By the way, this He Mingsheng came to Pingkangfang to open a shop half a year later. He should not have been in Chang'an at that time."

Lin Chengyou held the reins and let the horse turn twice in place. He didn't expect Hong Jianjun to remember what happened more than a year ago. How can it be so easy to reveal flaws in front of people.

So I put the paper into my arms again: "You and I will act separately. I will go to the memorial hall first, and you will wait for me at Chongrenfang. There are many hostels run by foreign merchants in Chongrenfang. Among them, there is Jiasirugui Inn. It was opened by a Yuezhou businessman, and the traders should know a lot of local anecdotes, Hong Shenjun asked them about the Yuezhou unsolved case ten years ago."

Hong Canjun held the whip and folded his hands: "Don't worry about Lin Ping, you know what to do next."

Lin Chengyou nodded, flicked the reins and galloped away.

Hong Canjun followed, but he was a little puzzled. As soon as Yan Sizhi's letter was sent, Yuezhou would reply soon. Whether the Tians and his wife had been to Yuezhou would come to an end in half a month.

But looking at Lin Chengyou's posture, it seemed like he couldn't wait for dawn. In fact, he also has the experience of investigating cases day and night, but people are always tired, if it is not an imminent case, there is no need to run around all night.

But Lin Chengyou seems to have to find the murderer right away tonight—

Hong Canjun thought about waving his whip, and rushed into the night in an instant.

***

Yan Sizhi waited and waited, but did not see Lin Chengyou and Hong can turn back.

He dozed off with his forehead propped up, and fell asleep accidentally. He slept for an unknown amount of time when he heard a loud noise. Actually slept till dawn.

He hurriedly raised his hand and straightened his head, ran to the door and opened the door, only to see a yamen running up and saying, "Lin Pingshi is back, and he told Yan Sizhi to bring paper and pen and ink, and quickly go to the cake shop next door to find it. he."

Yan Sizhi quickly found the Hu Cake shop last time, and saw that Lin Chengyou and Hong Canjun were sitting in the shop, and there were also several merchant-like men sitting beside them, all looking a little uneasy.

Although a few merchants were wrapped in Ling Luo, their robes were stained with a lot of dust, as if they had rolled on the ground.

Lin Chengyou cleaned his hands and looked around with a smile: "Hey, why don't you talk, do I look like a bad guy?"

The merchants shivered and said, "Just now, the villain did not recognize His Highness the Prince in the hostel. It was very offensive. I beg the Prince, for the sake of the villain's stupidity, don't bother with the villain."

"Speaking of offending, you did delay me a lot." Lin Chengyou raised his eyebrows, "But I am the most generous person, and today's situation is a bit special. For the sake of your willingness to make up for your faults, I can give you a chance. ."

Several businessmen hurriedly pointed to the sky and swore: "As long as His Royal Highness raises your hand, everything will be arranged by His Highness."

Lin Chengyou played with the wine cup in his hand: "Actually, it's just a trivial matter, it's rare that you all live at Taozhi Ferry, and you all remember the unsolved case in August ten years ago. one person."

The merchants showed fear on their faces, but they were obviously more afraid of Lin Chengyou, looked at each other a few times, and nodded hurriedly.

Lin Chengyou said pleasantly: "I know what you are afraid of, don't worry, although that person may be a murderer, as long as you identify him today, I guarantee that this person will not have the chance to retaliate against you in the future."

Just as he was talking, Hong Canjun suddenly said, "Yan Sizhi, please take a seat."

Lin Chengyou nodded at Yan Sizhi, and continued, "Don't be as eloquent as before, send someone to speak clearly. If there are any omissions, the rest of the people will help to supplement."

Yan Sizhi was surprised and delighted. After sitting down, he asked Hong Jianjun in a low voice, "Is there really an unsolved case?"

Hong Canjun nodded: "It's not a sensation, but there are a lot of people who know it. These Yuezhou merchants lived in Taozhi Ferry back then. This time they came to Chang'an to sell goods, and they happened to rest in the hotel. Lin Ping asked about it. That's right."

The merchants murmured and discussed, and openly nominated the man in blue as the representative. The man cleared his throat and slowly opened his mouth: "It's been more than ten years since this incident, and luckily there are still people who remember that we lived near the ferry back then. With a family, the head of the household, surnamed Peng, is a scholar.

"Scholar Peng is not from Yuezhou. I heard that he went to Chang'an to take part in scientific examinations in his early years. After falling behind, he had no face to return to his hometown. He simply took his wife to travel around. Later, for some reason, his family traveled to Yuezhou, not only here. I stayed there and opened a private school near Taozhi Ferry.

"The villain went to the ferry to play when he was young, and he often saw Peng Shusheng. After Peng Shusheng opened a private school, although he received very few cultivators, he did not receive a few students because he did not have any fame. In his spare time, he would go to the market to sell calligraphy and paintings, and sometimes he would bring the needles made by his wife, but it is a pity that Mrs. Peng is from Guanzhong, and her embroidery work is far inferior to that of the local embroiderers in Yuezhou—"

Lin Chengyou said coldly, "What is the surname of Scholar Peng's wife?"

The man in the blue robe nuzzled his companion with his shoulder: "Which one of you still remembers."

"Your surname is Yin or Qi." Someone whispered, "The little man's brother once went to school in Peng Shusheng's private school, and he said that this teacher was very angry, but it's a pity that she always speaks with a Guanzhong accent. , I can't understand a lot of words. Oh, by the way, Peng Shusheng has a pair of children under his knees. The elder is about the same age as the villain. If he lived to this day, he would be about twenty-six or seven years old this year. Daughter, if he lived to this day, Must be fifteen or sixteen.

Lin Chengyou's eyes moved slightly, and he waited patiently for a while. Seeing that no one would add any more, he had to say, "Continue on."

The blue-robed man said, "Every time I get older, the neighbors often ask Peng Shusheng to help with writing and painting. Peng Shusheng is soft-hearted and inconvenient to catch up with, so long as I mention it to him, Peng Shusheng will never open his mouth to ask for money. Afterwards, the family's life became more and more difficult, and the neighbors often sent some food to help them.

"I remember that Scholar Peng had a sour temper, and his family was so embarrassed, and he did not forget to teach his children to read and write. The eldest son of the Peng family often saw the eldest son of the Peng family squatting on the ferry to read a book. The youngest daughter, born at a young age, is fair and beautiful, and the neighbors sometimes boast a few words, and the Pengs are also full of glory.

"After several years, Peng Shusheng was getting old, and seeing that his fame was hopeless, he gave up his plan to go to Chang'an to take the exam, but he couldn't bear his face, so he had to secretly follow the people from the ferry to learn how to fish. It was a coincidence that he accidentally rescued a person while fishing. This person was a local giant who fell into the river accidentally because he stumbled after drinking. A feast for their family, we all guess..."

The blue-robed man turned his head to look left and right, as if to confirm whether his statement was correct or not, and only then did he speak again after meeting the affirmative look of his companion.

"We all guessed that the giant gave Scholar Peng a large sum of money, because since then, Scholar Peng has rarely gone to the ferry to fish for fish. He was not willing to change his clothes, but made new dresses for his wife and daughter. Not long after, he bought a good pen and ink for Dalang of the Peng family. He said that with Dalang's talent, as long as he studied hard for two more years, he could go to Chang'an for the scientific examination in the year after. After a while, Peng Shusheng put the The poor house was sold, and he took his children to a village on the mountainside. He also bought two boats and hired people to catch fish to sell.

"The day they moved, the villain and the grandfather also went to join in the fun. The neighbors knew why the Peng family was rich, but everyone saw how happy the Peng family was, and no one made fun of them.

"After the Peng family moved, they didn't go down the mountain often, and the old neighbors met much less often. Everyone said that the Peng family had come through hardships and hardships. As long as the elder Peng family passed the imperial examination in the coming year, the family might still move to Chang'an. unexpectedly…"

Speaking of this, the blue-robed man showed an unbearable look on his face, and sighed a few times: "Unexpectedly, the good times didn't last long, and it didn't take long for the Peng family to have an accident. At that time, it happened to be August. At that time, there was a famine in the north, and many refugees started one after another. Flocking to the south, strangers often land on the Taozhi Ferry. Among them, there are many people who steal from dogs and thieves. There are many messes. In order to take refuge, everyone tried not to go to the ferry, but the Peng family did not know what was wrong. When I was going down the ferry, I unfortunately encountered a robber, and the whole family suffered. When it was discovered, the boat was pierced, and the family of four disappeared. The neighbors rushed to the government to report the case, and it took several days to salvage The bodies of Scholar Peng and his wife were salvaged, the weather in August was extremely hot, and after soaking in the water for so long, the couple were no longer human."

Someone sighed faintly, as if remembering the tragic situation that day.

The blue-robed man was silent for a while, and then said with a sense of disappointment: "The government has been fishing for a few more days, but failed to find the corpses of the Peng family brothers and sisters, but they picked up the clothes of the two brothers and sisters. If they were still alive, the brothers and sisters would have gone ashore long ago. The official said that Scholar Peng and his wife had wounds on their heads, and they should have been thrown into the river after being smashed. There is nothing of value at all, and at a glance, it is obvious that the money has been robbed by the wicked.

"The government also asked us if we had seen strangers come to the Peng family, but we haven't seen each other for a long time, plus the refugees were scurrying around at that time, and all the houses were closed. I don’t know why they wanted to go to the ferry, but the fisherman hired by the Peng family was also missing. The government suspected that the fisherman was the murderer. It didn’t take long for the fisherman’s floating body to be found. It is said that he was also injured. Murderer, this case is over."

The room fell silent, and everyone had different expressions. Such a kind family lost their lives overnight, and anyone who heard it would feel embarrassed.

Yan Sizhi sighed while writing, Hong Canjun frowned and wondered what he was thinking about. The merchants looked at their noses and hearts, and occasionally raised their eyes to look at Lin Chengyou.

Lin Chengyou rubbed the wine cup in his hand and didn't speak for a long time.

Scholar Peng's wife's surname is either Yin or Qi. If the surname is Qi, it is likely to be one of Qi's older sisters.

According to this calculation, where the Tian Yunde and his wife stayed in the past four months ten years ago seems to have the answer.

The couple escaped from Zhangqiu in July and went straight to their sister in Yuezhou. After spending a month on the way, it was almost August when they arrived in Yuezhou.

The Peng family was killed in August.

The strange thing is that when the Tian family and his wife return to Chang'an, they will have more money in their hands to do business. They used the money to open a shop in Dongshi and started a cloth business.

Ten years later, the four members of the Peng family have turned into a pile of dead bones, but the Tian family has become a wealthy family in Chang'an. The experience of those four months has 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.

That's why there is the self-criminal book of "I am a dog, not worthy of living", so there is a shocking seven-man guide.

So it wasn't enough for the man to take the lives of the Tian family members, he also had to detain their souls and torture them.

Moreover, the ghost of the Tian family once said that the murderer's surname was Twelve Paintings.

The surname "Peng" is exactly twelve paintings.

Maybe someone survived the catastrophe that year.

Lin Chengyou's face was calm, but his heart was full of turbulent waves. Several unsolved cases spanned the entire ten years. If he hadn't lived in Caifenglou by accident, he might never have known about the one that happened ten years ago. Headless koan.

The case has become more and more clear now, but for some reason, the closer you get to the truth, the more complicated your heart will feel. The opposite of yin is yang, and the other side of wrong is right, but there are some things in the world that cannot be used wrong. or to measure.

He calmed down and said, "Have the bodies of Scholar Peng's son and daughter never been found?"

"No." The blue-robed wealthy shook his head, "Every year at our ferry, people drown, and if the corpse doesn't come up, they will basically rush downstream."

"In all these years, have you seen anyone who looks similar to this brother and sister in Yuezhou?"

Several businessmen were silent for a moment, then shook their heads one after another: "If I see it, the villain will probably be scared to death. Moreover, the little lady of the Peng family was only six or seven years old when she died. Even if she survived by luck, her appearance has also changed. Lang was sixteen or seventeen years old back then, but after all, ten years have passed..."

Lin Chengyou stared at them: "No matter how the appearance changes, there should be some shadows from the past. I will take you to recognize a few people later. If you think they are similar, feel free to tell me. Also, do you still remember Peng Dalang and Peng Xiaoniangzi? name?"

The merchants shook their heads: "I remember that Scholar Peng always called his son 'Dalang, Dalang', but the little lady doesn't know."

Lin Chengyou thought for a while, and until now, he has a general idea of ​​why the murderer murdered the Tian and his wife, but why the Yao and Huang sisters were killed is still a mystery.

Recalling what happened to the Yao and Huang sisters in their early years, he asked, "In Yuezhou, there was a couple of musicians who were good at ventriloquism. Their surname was Nie and they had a pair of daughters. He was implicated in Li Changmao's rebellious case, and his daughter was sold, have you heard of this?"

The merchants responded quickly: "I heard it, why haven't I heard it, there are no villains who don't know about these strange people and anecdotes in Yuezhou City. But they had been living in Lefang in the city before the accident, which was far from the ferry."

Don't you live at Taozhi Ferry? Lin Chengyou was secretly surprised, thinking that Yao Huang and sisters were killed because they recognized the murderer, but it seems that she 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, so she was too young to have any impression of the Peng family's case.

Then why were they killed?

He casually poured tea for himself. After the opening of Caifeng Building, Yao Huang and sisters lived under the same roof as the murderer. Qingzhi liked to steal things. Maybe one day, he accidentally discovered the evidence that the murderer killed Tian and his wife.

No, the murderer was so cautious, how could a little girl grab the handle.

But if there is no handle, why is the murderer threatened by Qingzhi?

What was missing... Lin Chengyou frowned, suddenly thinking of Mr. Rong.

"Have you heard of an embroidered lady surnamed Rong?"

Several businessmen shook their heads blankly.

Lin Chengyou took out the murderer's sachet from his arms: "Well, look at this, do you have any impression?"

Everyone snorted: "This is like the work of Taozhi Embroidery Workshop."

"Do you know this embroidery workshop?"

"Naturally, I know that this embroidery workshop is famous, and it is near the ferry. The word 'Peach Branch' is based on the name of the ferry."

Lin Chengyou touched his chin: "Since you are so close, you may have heard that an embroidered mother married her daughter to a rich family in Chang'an as a concubine."

The blue-robed man was about to shake his head, but a businessman behind him looked forward: "Yes, there is such a thing, the villain's aunt often goes to Taozhi Embroidery Workshop to buy work, and she is familiar with the people in the embroidery workshop. For a while, the villain wanted to take a concubine, so my mother kept her eye on the villain. About a year or two ago, the villain's mother came home and suddenly said that she had been interested in the daughter of an old embroidered mother, but she didn't know it yet. Before I could talk about it, the lady was taken care of by the giants from Chang'an, and the giants promised Lao Xiu Niang a lot of money and brought the little lady to Chang'an."

Yan Sizhi and Hong Canjun were surprised: "Isn't this the Rong family?"

That's right, Rong's aunt is a Yuezhou embroidery mother, and the years are also suitable.

Lin Chengyou's expression was a little weird: "According to this, the Rong family also lived in Taozhi Ferry? Then would she also know about the Peng family's case..."

He stopped abruptly and stood up abruptly.

He finally knew why Qingzhi openly said that he and the Rong family were from the same hometown!

Everyone only regarded Qingzhi as a grandstanding, because at that time, Mr. Rong had been dead for more than a year, and Caifenglou was often haunted. Only a fool would be willing to have a relationship with a dead person.

But it turned out that Qingzhi wasn't talking crazy, she said it on purpose to the murderer.

She is blackmailing the murderer in this way, she knows his/her secret.

As for how she knew, it was naturally related to the Rong family.

As early as when Mr. Rong was still alive, Qingzhi had gone to Caibo with Woji. At that time, Qingzhi was determined to find her lost sister, and when she heard Mr. Rong's Yuezhou accent, she was bound to find a way to talk to Mr. Rong.

Once they get used to it, there will be more things to talk about. Maybe Mr. Rong accidentally said something about the Peng family, which was remembered by Qingzhi.

A year later, the Caifeng Building opened, and Qingzhi followed Woji into the building. She met with the murderer every day. Maybe at a certain moment, Qingzhi caught a glimpse of the murderer's secret.

Qingzhi looks silly, but in reality, she has a deep scheming. After knowing this secret, she took the opportunity to blackmail the murderer, thinking that she succeeded, and that's why she has the pile of precious jewelry hidden under the cherry blossoms.

In the process of dealing with Qingzhi, the murderer inadvertently learned that Qingzhi and Yao Huang were sisters. He was afraid that his secret would be leaked. After killing Qingzhi, he attacked Yao Huang again.

No wonder the murderer clearly hated the Tian family, but killed sisters Yao Huang.

Lin Chengyou fixedly looked out the door. After the morning drum, the market gradually became lively. There was a commotion outside, but there were lightning and thunder in his ears. Several cases were closely connected, and the murderer hardly showed any flaws. If it hadn't happened to find this group of Yuezhou businessmen, it might take ten days to get the truth out.

It had been a long time since he had met such a sophisticated opponent. He was scratching his head. Thinking of this person's flawless performance on weekdays, he couldn't wait to see the moment that person was revealed to him by him.

He lowered his eyes and finished drinking the soup in the tea cup unhurriedly. Lou recognizes people, don't make any noise when you get there, everything will be arranged by me."

***

Teng Yuyi practiced swordsmanship alone in the garden.

Last night, it rained all night, and it only cleared up in the morning. The sun fell on the blue glazed tiles, blooming thousands of bright white lights. This kind of good weather can be used to practice swordsmanship with half the effort. It became more and more difficult to practice at the back. After learning the first twenty moves, Teng Yuyi's speed suddenly slowed down. Originally, one move only took half an hour, but now it takes more than an hour to complete.

It would be a lie to say that she is not in a hurry. While the weather was clear, she practiced very energetically despite the fact that the ground was full of muddy ideas.

Suddenly, the yamen led a group of people over and said, "Young Master Wang, please avoid it. The garden has to be free to handle the case, so I can't keep anyone for the time being."

Why come again? Teng Yuyi turned around to look at the person, Yan Sizhi knew her, and the rest were all strangers. Lin Chengyou will not find a bunch of strangers for no reason, it must be related to the case.

The merchants are also looking at Teng Yuyi. They have been selling goods in both places all the year round, and they have long practiced their vicious eyesight. Seeing that this young man is full of extravagance, they secretly guessed that he was a certain well-dressed child, and he didn't know why he had such a large cheek on his face. Hu, covering half of his face.

Teng Yuyi calmly retracted her gaze, it seemed that if the murderer didn't get caught soon, she wouldn't even think about practicing thirty-six moves in one go. The voice said: "Abo, let's go."

After talking, he turned around and went to the small Buddhist hall. The officers hesitated for a while. Lin Pingshi only said that no one could be kept in the garden, but did not say how the small Buddhist hall was. Besides, the prince seemed to have a lot of backgrounds, so why should he be annoying.

Juesheng and Qizhi were sitting at the base of the wall and dozing off, Wudao was busy dividing a few pieces of hu pie, looked up and saw Teng Yuyi come in, and was about to ask her why she didn't practice when she saw the yamen came in with a group of richly dressed strangers.

"This is?"

Before the yamen could speak, he heard Lin Chengyou's voice.

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi woke up, rubbed their eyes and said, "Senior brother."

After a while, Lin Chengyou came in and said to several merchants, "You will recognize people in the small Buddha hall later. Even if you recognize them, don't make a sound."

Several people nodded nervously.

Teng Yuyi originally planned to invite Wudao to practice swordsmanship elsewhere, but when he saw this, he became curious again. Lin Chengyou was busy all night and seemed to have found a lot of things.

Do you stay to watch the fun, or go back to your room to practice swordsmanship?

Lin Chengyou turned around to arrange for a few Taoist priests, not being wary of seeing Teng Yuyi, he rubbed his chin and thought, didn't she say last night that he had no clue, and she just opened her eyes today.

"Yo." He said with a smile, "Unfortunately, I have disturbed Wang Gongzi's studies. We have to use this small Buddhist hall for errands, and we will not be able to practice swords for a while. Wang Gongzi is no better than others. Move it elsewhere, so as not to delay your sword learning."

Teng Yuyi suddenly felt deceitful. These words were sarcasm on the surface, but they also vaguely implied "stimulating generals". Logically, Lin Chengyou wished that they would go far, so as to "stimulate" her to stay for what?

Knowing that Lin Chengyou had bad intentions, she still couldn't resist the temptation to "identify the murderer", she simply put on a stance of watching the excitement, and smiled sweetly: "Wang can afford to delay this time. Since the prince is very willing for us to stay When you come down to watch the fun, you will be disrespectful when you go down."

Lin Chengyou had a thick skin, and he didn't change his smile even when he was punctured, but he said in his heart, this is what you want to stay on yourself, so you can take a good look at it later.

He turned his head to say something to Wudao, and someone came from the garden.

Wu Dao looked at the group of businessmen and couldn't help but said, "Prince, do they recognize the murderer?"

"Shh, don't talk." Lin Chengyou looked out through the pane, "Let them try."

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi wanted to go straight to their senior brother, but seeing the serious expression on their senior brother's face, they realized that the atmosphere was not right, so they crept to Teng Yuyi's side and looked out together with Teng Yuyi.

The first one came was Ge Jin. The yamen led her to stand in front of a nearby peony bush,
