Chapter Eighty-Eight
According to the round-faced girl's account, more than half a month ago, she once went to Fahua Mountain to burn incense and pray for blessings. At that time, it was the end www.biquge.info of the season, and although it was winter, the sun was warm and the weather was excellent. The golden sunlight spreads through the sparse branches on the mountain path, which is beautiful and dazzling.
Along the way, there were many pilgrims, many of whom she knew well. The round-faced girl was in a good mood, so she asked the driver to drive slowly, so that she could greet people and enjoy the scenery along the road.
Seeing that he was about to reach the top of the mountain, he happened to encounter a bend in the mountain road, and the coachman's vision was blocked. At this time, a luxurious carriage covered with pearls and emerald flowers rushed down from above.
The momentum of the carriage was very urgent, and seeing that the two carriages were about to collide together, the round-faced girl covered her face with a frightened scream. Fortunately, her coachman was experienced, and he pulled the horse's head with a sharp swing of the whip in his hand, narrowly allowing his own carriage to avoid the one that rushed down.
However, the other party was not so lucky, so after hearing a long hiss, the hard carriage hit the mountain wall on the side and immediately flipped on its side. Fortunately, there were several attendants next to the carriage, and they rushed out in a hurry, pulling the horse's head together, so that no bigger accident occurred.
Everyone was frightened, and they heard a woman in the carriage shouting sharply: "Who dares to block my ride and take people down." Her attendant immediately came with a fierce look, and tore the round-faced girl's coachman off his horse and pinned him to the ground.
The round-faced girl was startled and said in a panic: "Obviously, you went down the mountain too fast and almost hit us." ”
"So what, can your cheap life compare to mine?"
The woman in the carriage had already come out in embarrassment with the help of her entourage. The round-faced girl realized that it was an extremely beautiful woman, with pink face and peach cheeks, and delicate and gorgeous makeup. He was wearing a small jacket of gold and butterflies wearing flowers and silver Xia Shu brocade, wearing a colorful carved silk stone blue and silver rat big hat, and a half-fairy skirt with four joys and ruyi cloud patterns, and the smooth long music bun was decorated with pearls and jade.
The woman pressed her shoulders together and instructed her attendants: "Reward him with a hundred lashes, and see if he dares to rush into the nobleman next time." And she ......" She pointed to the frightened round-faced girl, her eyes were as cold as looking at ants, and she said arrogantly: "If you have eyes but no beads, you dare to return your mouth, and you will be rewarded with fifty whips." ”
Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar, and Hua Lianyue said indignantly: "This woman is so unreasonable, arrogant and arrogant, she must be unpopular!"
The round-faced girl nodded again and again, her immature face flushed with fear, and said, "Yes, yes, her entourage doesn't seem to be completely obedient." Because at that time, many people gathered on the mountain road to watch, and one of her entourages said that this was not the house, and if it caused trouble, I was afraid that the master would be unhappy. She restrained herself a little, but she still had my coachman whip me a little before she got in the car and left. ”
Huo Lianjue stared at her sharply and said, "Are you sure she went down the mountain at that time?"
The round-faced girl shrunk her neck and whispered, "I did watch her carriage go straight down the mountain." ”
Gone down?Now that she has gone down, why has she reappeared in the middle of this plum after so long?And where have her retinues gone?The question flashed through everyone's minds at the same time.
The onlookers gradually dispersed, and the red plums fell without wind and landed on the shoulders and socks of the people under the trees. The cold fragrance floats, refreshing people's hearts. It was obviously such a beautiful scenery, but everyone's hearts were like a huge stone, and they couldn't breathe heavily.
Yin Che suddenly pointed to the female corpse, forced Xiao Fengnan to look, and said, "What were you doing to her when I came?" At that time, when she saw Xiao Fengnan for the first time, she thought that he was a naked woman under the light plum tree.
When Yin Che found out that the woman was actually a female corpse, she thought that he would not even let go of the dead, and she was full of contempt for him in her heart. Looking back now, she felt that there must be something strange in it.
When everyone heard this, they all turned their curious eyes on Xiao Fengnan.
Hua Lianyue also looked at him with sparkling eyes, and said softly: "If you have any discoveries or suspicions, you must say it, maybe it can help us solve the case." ”
Xiao Fengnan was originally cold-hearted, and he never had anything to do with himself. He did have suspicions before, but because he was interrupted by Yin Che, he didn't continue to investigate.
At this moment, Hua Lianyue was clear and unblemished, and the longing eyes were like a faint morning light, dispelling the thick haze in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he finally couldn't bear to refuse, so he had to say helplessly: "You wait a while, I'll take a closer look." ”
Xiao Fengnan rubbed the thumb and index finger of his right hand, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it carefully. Then he walked to the female corpse, reached out and unceremoniously pulled away the stiff chin of the female corpse, and sniffed it to her mouth.
His abrupt action made the people around him take a breath. Xie Yuanda also muttered secretly with disgust: "It's disgusting!"
After a moment, he straightened up, a hint of clarity flashing in his indifferent and cold eyes. Hua Lianyue hurriedly asked, "How is it, what did you find?"
Xiao Fengnan hooked the corners of her mouth and said, "Earlier, I found that there was a little white powder on the corner of this woman's mouth, plus the smell of wine in her mouth that had not yet dissipated. It is estimated that she took a large amount of Wushisan during her lifetime, and because of the effect of Wushisan, she hallucinated and did these strange things. ”
The practice of taking Wushisan has been around for hundreds of years, and it was highly respected by literati and doctors at that time, and even many women secretly took it because it had a beauty effect in addition to aphrodisiac.
After taking Wushi San, it can make people's skin white like a grease powder, and it is easy to produce pleasant hallucinations when they are excited, and the touch sensation of the skin on the body becomes highly sensitive.
Because you must wear thin clothes, eat cold things, and pour cold water on your body. Therefore, Wushisan is also known as "cold food powder".
After taking it, it is necessary to use cold food, drink warm wine, strip naked, exercise and sweat to dissipate the medicinal power. According to the medical book, it is ""cold clothes, cold drinks, cold food, cold lying, extremely cold is good". Freezing pneumonia, that's your exuberance.
It's just that these five stone powder are extremely harmful to people's bodies, and later because of a large number of addiction, disability, and death incidents due to taking five stone powder. The government has long had a clear rule prohibiting the production and consumption of Wushisan.
It's a pity that no matter how the government bans it, the folk habit of eating Wushisan is still prevalent, and the result is that the price of Wushisan has skyrocketed. As a result, in order to make huge profits, many people secretly make and sell them in private, regardless of the government's three orders and five orders.
If this woman did take a large amount of Wushisan during her lifetime, then many irrationalities would become reasonable. Even her violent death has a reasonable explanation.
Huo Lianjue's tense nerves did not relax, it is said that if this woman died violently because of eating Wushi Powder without permission, he would not have much responsibility as a local official. But where did Wushisan come from? Why did the rich daughter of a rich family, who should have left early, die here after taking banned drugs?
He raised his head slightly, and his deep and beautiful silhouette was perfectly displayed in the cold snow light. He looked at the quaint temple hidden in the snow and red plum on the East Ridge, hooked the corners of his lips to reveal his white teeth, and said lightly: "Ada, you carry the female corpse on the carriage and send it back to Yizhuang." Let's go to Fahua Temple to find the truth!"
