Chapter 267

"I've seen three adults. Peng You stood at the door and saluted.

Seeing that the door was blocking and hindering Xiao Er from serving, Lu Changshi immediately said, "Judge Peng, come in and sit." ”

Peng You untied his hat and stepped into the warm room with the wet moisture.

The trouser legs soaked by the cold rain should be extremely uncomfortable on his legs, but he didn't realize it, and sat down at the bottom, "Master Cui, I heard that there has been some progress in the case?"

Cui Ning was stared at by his gaze and couldn't help but be stunned.

His emotions have been well contained, and there is a lingering gloomy and cold all over his body, which is terrifying, and he looks as if he has changed into a different person.

Cui Ning saw that Wang Shaoyin and Lu Changshi looked accustomed to it, knowing that he was about the same as usual, she thought about the appearance of this person who did not agree with him before, but she never expected that Peng Zhengju, who had calmed down, would be this kind of character.

"It's some progress. Cui Ning motioned for him to look out the window, "We still have a witness who can't speak." ”

The night was dark, and through the rain curtain, only a faint white shadow could be seen.

"That's ......" Peng You took a closer look, "Cirrus?"

Cui Ning bowed his head, "Justice Peng came just in time, you should know more about the situation, I don't know how many people can give orders to Cirrus Cloud?"

"It only obeys the orders of adults and tamers, but at least five people can take it away. Peng You retracted his gaze and thought about it carefully, "This horse was given by Zhou Yunfei, the county commander of Wu County, according to the Zhou County Order, this horse was purchased a year ago in the hands of a horse merchant in the north, and was given a groom, at that time it only listened to the order of this groom, and when the Zhou County Order offered the horse, the groom also followed. ”

"Can't you stay in the blessing?" Cui Ning asked.

This is important because it is possible that Rufu was involved in the murder.

Peng You shook his head, "No." ”

Liufu, as Yang Ling's personal entourage, usually can't finish all the miscellaneous things, how can he lead the horse and train the horse.

Cui Ning was happy in her heart, she tested Cirrus Yun's ability to obey orders, but it was just to narrow down the scope and reduce the difficulty of solving the case, she didn't have too many expectations, but she didn't expect this horse to be so characterful! She had heard the second senior brother say that the horse is rebellious and fierce, and very spiritual, especially the wild, ordinary people don't say that they want to ride on horseback, but they can't even get close, even if they have been captured and domesticated, they will know people and know the way, not everyone can lead the horse, but this kind of horse can not be found. I didn't expect to see you today!

It can be said that this plays an extremely crucial role in the process of solving the case.

"You go and try to lead the horse somewhere else. In order to confirm Peng You's words, Cui Ning ordered the messenger beside him to try to lead the horse.

The messenger was given the order and hurried downstairs.

The shopkeeper saw that the atmosphere was better, so he hurriedly spoke up and said with a smile, "I saw that a few adults had important things to do here, so I had already made people prepare for supper, but I didn't expect it to be used." ”

"It's all the specialty of my own restaurant, and a few adults can try it. As he spoke, he personally put the dishes on the table, "I heard that Master Cui is from the north, and he specially made two northern dishes, and I don't know if it suits the adult's appetite." ”

Although this restaurant was built near the official office, it was not the best in the city, and the most frequented were the state students and government officials, and occasionally the small servants of the officials' families came to take out meals, and officials like Lu Changshi and Wang Sima who were five or six grades would hardly come in person. Today's opportunity is rare, and the shopkeeper has used twelve points of strength this time, wanting to sell well in front of these people.

"I have the worry of the shopkeeper. Cui Ning smiled.

The shopkeeper was flattered and said, "It should be, it should be." ”

At the moment, several people are paying attention to the cirrus clouds outside the window.

The shopkeeper looked anxious, but he didn't dare to disturb or stay for a long time, so he had to take the little guy out and wait.

Outside the window, in the rain, the officer had already run in front of Cirrus Cloud. Cui Ning had good eyesight, and could clearly see that when the messenger was close to three or four feet, it began to be a little restless, and kept kicking the horse's hooves, and by the time the messenger grabbed the reins, it had already begun to move around impatiently, screaming like a warning.

The messenger tugged at the reins and tried to bring it to the restaurant. At first the horse was pulling its head from side to side, trying to break free, but when the force of the messenger increased, it suddenly raised its front hooves and let out a loud neighing sound. The officer was caught off guard for a moment, and was pulled by the force of a huge drag, and the whole person fell to the ground, and at this time the horse's hooves fell just above his head.

Cui Ning breathed for a while, but saw the errand roll around on the ground, and he was able to avoid the trampling.

Lu Changshi exhaled, "It's really thrilling." ”

If it weren't for the quick reaction of the errand officer, I am afraid that this hoof would have been dead or crippled.

Peng You didn't care about Fang Cai's matter, only frowned and said, "Change someone who can train horses, like this, any horse with a bit of temperament will not follow him." ”

Cui Ning nodded, "Tell the horse trainer to be careful." ”

Soon, the officer brought a groom from the palace.

This man was supposed to be better than the horseman, but as soon as he got closer, Cirrus began to feel uneasy, and even when the groom came nearer, he could not help but take two steps back, and he had not succeeded in touching it even after half a cup of tea.

"Xu was frightened?" Cui Ning wondered.

Peng You said, "No, this horse walks in the streets and alleys all day long, how can it be surprised by a little thing? It is very fine, and can identify a special horse trainer." ”

Cirrus suffered a lot at the hands of the horse tamers, and since then he has submitted to certain people, but he is very wary of others who try to tame him. It is also unaware of the characteristics that it can identify a person who specializes in horse trainers.

The reason why Cirrus can walk safely in the crowd is only because there is a master by its side, and no one deliberately approaches it with a tamed heart in the midst of people.

Out of curiosity, Cui Ning ordered a few more people to walk nearby, maybe after what happened just now, it looked very alert, but it was not frightened away.

"I don't know if this cirrus cloud listens to Wu County's words. Cui Ning seemed to be questioning, and seemed to be talking to herself.

Peng You's thin lips pursed slightly, and only after a moment did he speak, "I'll check." ”

It was getting darker and darker outside, and the rain was already pouring down, and the white shadow seemed to want to take shelter from the rain, so she leaned against the wall, but did not go away, but still stuck there and waited.

gratuitous, it makes people feel sad.

Cui Ning sighed, and when she turned around, she found that Peng You's eyes were red.

The meal was still warm, and a few people hastily used it, and continued to boil it.

Cui Ning looked at the rain and felt that in another hour or two, there should be no trace left of the place where the little guy fell into the water, so she said to Lu Changshi and them, and went to the moat to investigate overnight in the rain.

Today, Peng You has been there for the first time, so he has not followed.

The night was dark.

The oil-paper lanterns flickered on and off, the light was extremely poor, although Cui Ning went to the scene to investigate conscientiously, rain or shine, but in fact, he was just holding a little luck, under this visual condition, the possibility of finding clues was too small.

However, after she walked along the moat for a while, she didn't even have the slightest luck in her heart.

The grass and trees along the river are luxuriant, and in some places the weeds are already deep in her waist, and from time to time you can see clumps of calamus, water chestnuts, and even wild lotus flowers by the river......

"There's someone up ahead!" the officer said in a sudden whisper.

Cui Ning looked up, and the darkness as far as her eyes could see couldn't tell if it was a tree or a person, and she also lowered her voice, "You can see clearly?"

"There seemed to be a flash of light. The servant stared not far away, and suddenly he was a little unsure if he had mistaken his eyes.
