Chapter 258: Purpose (Addition)
Yu Nianniang turned around, Duan Licheng was standing in the courtyard wearing a regular clothes, and when she saw her, Duan Licheng immediately smiled and said, "It's really Miss Yu." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
At this time, the official didn't know that Yu Nianniang knew Duan Licheng, so he was a stick, and he regretted his rude words just now, and hurriedly confessed to Yu Nianniang: "...... Please calm the girl's anger. ”
When Yu Nianniang is in a good mood, she usually doesn't care about such trivial things with others, so she went straight into the temple, and the three of them glanced coldly at the servant, and then followed in.
When I walked into the temple, I found that the courtyard was very deserted, especially the grass growing at the corner of the wall was as tall as a person, and at this time, the grass was peeled away, revealing a path, Duan Licheng was in the grass just now.
"I heard that Miss Yu's hexagram gallery isn't on Huaishu Street?" Duan Licheng walked back towards the grass as he spoke.
"I'm here to buy herbs." Yu Nianniang said, followed Duan Licheng to the edge of the grass, a newly opened road along the wall, one of the grass was a little messy, and there were two and a half footprints on the wall. The wall has not been cleaned for many years, and there is a lot of moss after the sun and rain, and there is a palm print on it, which is shorter than the normal palm spread out mark, and the fingers are wrinkled and bent, and there is a knife scratch next to it.
She said, "This is left by the murderer?" ”
Duan Licheng nodded.
I heard that Yu Nianniang was looking for the murderer in the Taihe Palace, and Duan Licheng knew that Yu Nianniang's divination was very powerful, so he didn't feel strange when he heard her ask, but said: "Judging from the footprints on the wall, the murderer should have escaped over the wall after committing the crime, and according to the habit of martial artists, he should have kicked on the wall with his front feet and jumped out of the wall." But these two paw prints are obviously right feet, assuming that these two people have high martial arts skills and only use one foot to borrow strength to get out of the courtyard wall, then, it can be judged that they are two people. This is in line with the results given by Kim Go-Wai. But there was only one palm print on the wall, and there was this knife mark...... It doesn't look like a fight......"
The two right foot prints indicate that they are indeed two people, and these two people only use one foot to borrow strength to go up the high wall, indicating that they have achieved light work. I believe that there are footprints on the wall in addition to palm prints, right? Yu Nianniang said.
Duan Licheng nodded: "You are right. There were footprints on the wall, matching one of the footprints on the wall, but only one. ”
Yu Nianniang walked under the wall and touched the footprints on the wall, maybe the imprints were too long, too light, and she didn't see anything. He withdrew his hand, walked out of the grass, and thought for a moment, "Perhaps it can be explained in this way, one of them is a strong martial artist, and the weapon he uses is a scimitar, and he uses only one foot to borrow strength, and then uses a scimitar in his hand to help, and jumps out of the courtyard and out of the wall." Naturally, there are not too many marks left on the walls. The other has lower martial arts, so he leaves footprints and handprints on the wall and on the wall. …… Then the two of them went to the city gate after leaving the ruined temple, and took advantage of the gap in the change of guards to climb out of the city wall, if the city wall has no clues, it is from the city tower, so they have to borrow eagle hooks and ropes and the like, which will naturally leave marks...... And these two people did not leave the capital after leaving the city, and kept hovering on the mountains outside the city until someone found them. ”
"If you're afraid of being discovered, you should flee when you leave the city, why don't you leave?" This is also where Duan Licheng has been puzzled these days.
Yu Nianniang shook her head: "Maybe it was fun, but it wasn't fun." It is also possible that the task was not completed and the purpose was not achieved. ”
Duan Licheng nodded, which also explained why after the killed beggar was discovered, the people of Kunyuan could still be attacked in Dongshan, but: "What purpose, what task?" ”
"I don't know about that." Yu Nianniang spread her hands, and then said very casually: "Maybe it's an important task, such as killing people......"
Duan Licheng's eyebrows twisted.
Did the Turks risk their lives to sneak into the capital just to kill people? Who the hell is that meant to kill? Why are you eyeing the people in Kunyuan again? Coincidence or premeditation?
Yu Nianniang entered the main hall of the broken temple, while Duan Licheng was still standing in the courtyard and contemplating, there were many suspicious points in this case, and there were many things to see, but there were few clues that could be found.
Just as I was thinking, someone came.
A man in a green shirt about twenty-five years old walked in, the two officials knew him, not only did not stop him, but also took the initiative to lead him, seeing the comer, Duan Licheng frowned slightly: "Why did you get here?" ”
The man was stunned when he saw Mother Sun and the others standing in the courtyard, and then bowed respectfully to Duan Licheng: "Uncle! Approaching Duan Licheng and whispering in a low voice, Duan Licheng's face flashed with irritation, and then waved his hand: "You go back first." ”
The man didn't say much, saluted and left.
Yu Nianniang came out of the hall and said goodbye to Duan Licheng: "The adults are busy, so the people's girl will leave first." ”
"It's just a little thing at home." Duan Licheng said casually: "Miss Yu, if you have something, go first." ”
When Yu Nianniang came out of the broken temple, she saw that the man just now was still standing outside the temple waiting.
Based on his similar facial features and Duan Licheng's words, Yu Nianniang guessed that this man was from Duan's mansion.
Mrs. Duan has three sons under her knees, the eldest son Duan Licheng and the second son Duan Liwen, who is now the county magistrate of Pingjin County. The youngest son Duan Lixing is the Shaoqing of the Taifu Temple of Zhengsipin, Duan Licheng has a son and a daughter, and his son Duan Junchu is in Taiyuan Mansion, so it is impossible to appear here. Duan Liwen's children all followed him. And Duan Lixing has a son and a daughter, and his son Duan Junhao should be younger than Duan Junhao, presumably this person is Duan Junchu, the son of Shaoqing of Taifu Temple.
Xu heard the words of Yu Nianniang and Duan Licheng just now, and knew Yu Nianniang's identity, and when he saw Yu Nianniang coming out, Duan Junchu not only did not avoid suspicion, but stepped forward to say hello.
Duan Junchu is a small record of the Hanlin Academy, the rank is low, although Yu Nianniang is a local master, but there is no rank, she turned sideways to avoid Duan Junchu's ceremony, and then returned the ceremony.
"It turns out that this is Miss Yu!" Although Duan Junqi took the initiative to say hello, he lowered his eyes, did not squint, and was very strict in observing etiquette.
"Second Prince Duan." Yu Nianniang returned the gift.
Duan Junchu immediately looked surprised: "How do you know that I ......" Before he finished speaking, he thought of something, embarrassment flashed on his face, and he immediately put away his surprised expression, and said politely: "It's me who is abrupt, Miss Yu is not an ordinary person, of course I know this little thing." Miss Yu has done it beforehand, so I won't bother you. ”
Yu Nianniang looked at him strangely, nodded, and left the broken temple with Mother Sun. After waiting for the carriage, Mother Sun asked Yu Nianniang with a strange face: "What does this second son mean?" Somehow stopped Yu Nianniang and didn't say anything.
Yu Nianniang shook her head, she leaned on the carriage and closed her eyes, Mother Sun and Linglong didn't dare to disturb her, they glanced at each other, and both of them closed their mouths tightly and stopped talking. After a while, Yu Nianniang suddenly opened her eyes: "I remember that Lord Duan has a granddaughter named Duan Zhiqin, right?" ”
Mother Sun nodded, when she was in Taiyuan Mansion, Miss Duan was more friendly to the girl.
"Do you know how old Miss Duan is this year?" Yu Nianniang said.
"It seems to be ......" Mother Sun thought for a while: "Fourteen, oh no, it's already fifteen, it's time to find ...... in-laws" Saying that, she thought of the turmoil of choosing a concubine a while ago, and looked at Yu Nianniang in surprise: "Could it be Miss Duan......"
But what's the matter with this girl!
