When the group arrived at the peony garden, it was not until the end of the hour, and there were not many people who came at this hour, and they also scattered to enjoy the flowers.

Xu promised never seen so many peonies, looking at it from afar, only to feel that the stamens in this peony garden are endless, and the purple and red are eye-catching;

In the morning, the sun shines evenly, evenly on the stamens and green leaves, which brings out the beauty and richness of the peony.

After an hour, the number of people in the peony garden gradually increased, and Lu Jiuniang, who had been to the peony garden dozens of times, took the promise Hu Ling and the others to a pavilion in the depths of the garden to rest.

This pavilion is not big, and the flowers around it are not as dense as the places where they had enjoyed the flowers before, but they are all white, and they are reluctant to look away at a glance.

"What do you think of the great place you found when you came here last year to enjoy the flowers?"

Lu Jiuniang had already let people prepare tea here, and the cushions were readily available, standing in the center of the pavilion at the moment, proudly introducing the treasure she had discovered.

"It is indeed a good place to enjoy the flowers, and it is really rare to find such a clean place in such a lively place as the Peony Garden. ”

After taking a seat, he smiled faintly and said.

She wore a turquoise gown today, embroidered with hibiscus flowers, which was originally a graceful dress, and now she smiled pleasantly, which was really picturesque.

Seeing that Xu Yu took the soup bottle and bamboo ce from the handmaid's handmaid, Lu Jiuniang motioned to the maid who was waiting for tea in the pavilion to go out, moved the tea case to Xu Yu, and said: "A place like the Peony Garden is suitable for ordering tea and giving words." Come to think of it, many people are racking their brains at this moment, thinking about how to make poems and lyrics. ”

Naturally, she said that she was a student of Yingtian Academy who came to the Peony Garden.

"Let's go and see, too. Hu Ling didn't even have a cup of tea, and he was already about to stand up.

Lu Jiuniang grabbed her and forced her to give her a glass of white water. said: "Don't worry, since Lord Yan Shu has come up with such a question for the students of Yingtian Academy this year, he will come to judge in person in the future, you will go out this time, and you won't hear any good poems, but it is crowded and hot, and I will go later." It's all left in the last boutique. ”

When Hu Ling heard this, he thought that this was indeed the truth, so he sat down again.

The three of them tasted tea. After eating some snacks and satisfying my stomach, I left from the small pavilion with unfinished satisfaction.

When I walked to the place where the peonies were dense, I saw the people who should be smiling, and they were all afraid.

Xu Yu suddenly became nervous. Be vigilant and quickly observe the expression of everyone who comes your way.

"Something should have happened. Lu Jiuniang whispered in Xu Yu's ear.

Promise nodded. Then his eyes lit up, and he walked a few steps forward quickly, and shouted at the same time, "Big brother!"

Seeing Xu Pingyi's hurried and serious face, Xu Yu didn't think much about it and went over to ask him, "What happened?"

"Mrs. Wu died suddenly. Xu Pingyi always has a smile on his face on weekdays, but now his expression is serious, and his lips are pursed, all of which are pursed into a straight line.

"Big cousin, what's going on?" Lu Jiuniang and Hu Ling also came over. The three of them surrounded Xu Pingyi.

Xu Pingyi looked over the heads of the three of them into the distance, and said, "You are all ladies who have not left the cabinet. It's better not to go over, let's go to the hall first, I'll tell you what happened just now, and talk as you go. ”

Xu Yu nodded, turned his body sideways, no longer stopped Xu Pingyi, followed him, and listened to him: "Hu Niang drank tea with a few ladies before the noon, but after drinking two, he suddenly fell to the ground, fortunately Ji Wulang was not far away, he was invited to see Wu Niangzi, but found that Wu Niangzi had already lost her breath. But Wu Niangzi is not very old, and there are no injuries on her body, so she died suddenly, which is really strange. I was originally with Gorou, so I wrote a book case and asked someone to send it to the prefect of Xijing, this matter is so strange that it must be investigated. ”

When Xu Promise heard this, he thought a lot in his mind for a while, but he just asked: "Is there still anyone in the flower hall where Mrs. Wu was drinking tea at the moment?"

If he died strangely, he must have been killed, and the flower hall where he drank tea was the scene of the crime.

Since it is the scene of the crime, it is necessary to try to keep it as it is, and no one can destroy it, otherwise the clues will be easily destroyed.

"There is no one left, several ladies don't want to stay there after they learn that Mrs. Wu is dead, and then a few children who are not afraid want to go over to see, and I stopped them. Xu Pingyi looked serious, and there was a little helplessness in his words.

Xu Yu nodded hurriedly and said, "Big brother is really wise, can you write a letter to Bianjing?"

"Yes, I wrote a letter to my uncle, and I also wrote a letter to Mrs. Wu's family. Xu Pingyi saw that Xu Promise was expressionless, thinking that she was frightened by what she said, so she hurriedly curled her lips, showed a smile, and said, "Liuniang, don't be afraid." ”

Xu Nuo's heart warmed, he raised his head and looked at Xu Pingyi, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he also gave him a smile back, saying, "Big brother, I'm not afraid." ”

I don't know how many young men of the right age have come to the peony garden today, everyone has a competitive heart, ambitions, and ideals.

However, now, only her eldest brother is willing to shoulder this responsibility, come forward to solve the matter, and make a correct and appropriate response.

Xu Pingyi originally longed for a life like idle clouds and wild cranes, and was reluctant to step into the court for half a step, but later decided to participate in the imperial examination in order to promise to change his mind. Xu Gucheng is worried that his temperament is not suitable for being an official, if he sees Xu Pingyi, who is quite responsible at the moment, Xu Gucheng will not have the worries of the past.

"Good. Xu Pingyi nodded and continued to walk forward, only to find that the three people beside him were missing.

When he turned around, he saw the three of them standing in return.

Xu Yu said without hurry: "Big brother, I want to go over and have a look, I won't disturb the people in the government." ”

Xu Pingyi frowned, and there was hesitation in his eyes.

"Big brother, we won't mess around, if you don't worry, you can follow us. Xu Yu glanced at Hu Ling and Lu Jiuniang and said their request.

She originally had nothing to do with herself, but Lu Jiuniang just pulled her sleeve desperately to prevent her from moving forward, and she knew that Lu Jiuniang had to go to the scene.

Perhaps as Lu Yijian saw more accidents, Lu Jiuniang, the most standard noble girl in Bianjing, was not afraid of the crime scene, but had a spirit of exploration.

Xu Pingyi refused once, refused twice, and finally had to obey.

The four of them arrived at the flower hall where Wu Niangzi had been drinking tea as quickly as possible, and saw a few people standing sparsely outside, but they were all about twenty years old Lang Jun, and there was no lady, and the promise of the three of them was very conspicuous after they appeared.

Xu Pingyi felt that everyone's eyes around him fell on him, and coughed: "If you want to look, just look outside, don't go in, I'll ask Ji Wulang about the situation first." ”

When Lu Jiuniang heard this, she was overjoyed and said, "Okay, cousin, let's go and do our own thing, let's take a look." (To be continued......)
