87 Cave Skeleton (11)
Chapter 87: The Cave Skeleton (11)
The solid rosewood was embedded in something, as if it had been burned deep into the depths by the extremely hot molten slurry, which was why it left a little dent. And in each dent, there is something left, but I don't know what it is.
Su Yun twisted some and rubbed it on his fingers, a little awkward. After a closer look, his fingers were slightly black, and then he suddenly came back to his senses, "Rust." ”
"But are these rusts too?" Mingyue pointed to the silver white next to her, and twisted it a little, "It seems to be silver." ”
Iron and silver? Su Yunkai looked at the pear blossom wood a few times and asked, "Bai Shui, where did you find this plank?" ”
Bai Shui replied, "Behind the villa." At that time, the fire had not completely stopped, and the villa had almost burned down, so I went over, but I found that the back of the villa was still on fire, so I climbed a little higher to look, and then I saw that someone was burning the mountain there. When he saw me, he did not come at once, but continued to set fires, and when I rushed over, I found that there was a passage below what looked like a cliff. ”
Su Yun, who had been to Gushan once, but had been solving the case flawlessly to enjoy the mountain scenery because of a murder on the first day he went, said, "There is still a passage?" ”
Bai Shui nodded, "Yes, I stepped forward to fight him and captured him alive, who expected him to commit suicide with poison." I wondered where the passage leads, so I walked along there, and found many wooden shelves built around the mountainside, which had been destroyed, and I don't know what they were. Roughly speaking, maybe it's refining something. I searched for it, found the plank, and I didn't know if it was useful, so I took it back. ”
Su Yunkai pondered for a moment and said, "When the broken bridge was destroyed before, the secret passage was blocked, and the villa was burned, I wondered, could the murderer do so many things alone, and then I guessed that there was a fellow party, but why did the same party go down the mountain but no one saw it, it turned out that there was another passage." ”
"And, sir." Bai Shui poured something black out of the money bag, "Is this pig iron?" When I turned around the mountain, I found that in the hinterland of the Drum Mountain, a big hole had been dug by someone, the hole was ten zhang high, twelve or thirteen zhang wide, and it was black on all sides. ”
Su Yunkai suddenly understood what place it was, he looked at the wooden board in his hand that was burned with a little dent by rusty silver, and the messy thoughts in his mind began to gradually become clear, one by one the dead knots bloomed like flowers, breaking the doubts in his heart, and straightening out all the things that had happened in the past few days, even more distant things, as far away as he was suddenly transferred back to Beijing, as far away as why Bai Ying was killed.
He grabbed the piece of pear blossom wood tightly and asked, "Are the shelves built in the back mountain all pear blossom trees?" Is the tree that grows the most in the back mountain also Huanghuali? ”
"yes, it's almost all over the hills."
Su Yunkai nodded lightly, "I'll send Mingyue to the Li family first, and you will go back to the Su family with me to recuperate." ”
Bai Shui paused, "My lord, my injury is fine, if you have something to order, just ......"
"No, you have to get some rest." Su Yunkai looked at her with a straight face, "You have never been discovered before, but today my coachman found you, and your injuries are not light." ”
Bai Shui's pale face was full of unwillingness, "I haven't caught the murderer yet." ”
"No, you've got it." Su Yunkai said, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to figure out this case now, with these clues, I already know who the murderer is, what is missing, is evidence, these evidences, with your connections, you can't find it, so I can only come forward." So what you have to do now is to take care of your body. ”
Bai Shui heard that he knew who the murderer was, and there were finally tears in his dry eyes, and he trembled, "My lord, who is the murderer?" ”
Su Yunkai looked at her and said, "You promise me that you can't seek revenge in private." ”
Bai Shui shook his head, "Never, I want to see that person brought to justice with my own eyes, return my brother's innocence, and let him apologize in front of the world!" ”
Su Yunkai sighed lightly and said slowly, "Yu Fenglin." ”
Bai Shui was stunned, "My brother and he have no grievances......"
She clenched the black iron in her hand, and her hands were about to be cut and bleeding, and she didn't notice it. It wasn't until Mingyue let go of her hand and took a handkerchief to tie her that she stopped trembling, "My lord...... I listen to you, I believe in you, and I will avenge my brother in the end. ”
The end note fell, it was hatred, resentment, forbearance, Mingyue was sad to hear it, holding her friend's hand and unwilling to let go. Bai Shui has long been like her sister, she is used to relying on her, but now Bai Shui needs her as a friend by her side. She wanted to accompany her, but Li Kang was an outsider in the end, Bai Shui's face was exposed there, and his identity would also be exposed, so it was safer for the Su family.
Su Yunkai looked at the sky, it was not early, and after a while, there were no pedestrians on the street, so the three of them would be more conspicuous, so he sent Mingyue to Li's house. When he was about to leave, the Li family called him again, "Master Su, my lord has something urgent to tell you." ”
Li Kang heard that Su Yunkai came in the middle of the night, and ran over without even putting on his coat, and happened to meet Su Yunkai who was walking inside, so he hurriedly pulled him to the backyard to talk, and took his subordinates away, "I wanted to go to you early tomorrow morning, but it just so happened that you came, so I didn't have to run again." ”
"What's the matter, so urgent?"
"Before, you asked me to check Pingxihou, as well as the relationship between Chen Lilang and Pingxihou, I found out about the treasury for you before, and the one in the back, I only found out tonight, and it was really too hidden, almost wrong. On the surface, Chen Lilang had no connection with Pingxihou, but in fact, almost all the money obtained by Pingxihou was handled by Chen Lilang. ”
"yes, I know."
Li Kang also wanted to continue, but he was blocked by his plain and indifferent words, and almost didn't block all his words, surprised, "You know? When? ”
"Just confirmed." The summer resort is Chen Lilang's, but it is not, the real owner is Pingxihou. He added, "I have one more thing to worry you about, this matter is very important, if you do it well, your status will be at least three levels higher than now." ”
Li Kang smiled, "I am now a fourth-grade official, can I still be named a first-grade minister." ”
"Yes." Su Yun said calmly, "Merit, glory, and grace will all be there." ”
Li Kang's throat was slightly dry when he heard it, if it was someone else's words, he would have taken it as a joke, but it was Su Yunkai who said it, and he still looked so serious, "You, do you take it seriously?" ”
Su Yunkai didn't answer, but just asked, "Can you help me check?" ”
Li Kang squeezed out a smile, "If you can really rise to the top, even if you want to lose your head, you can give it a go, you just say, I will definitely do it for you." By the way, I have one more thing to tell you before you say that. ”
Su Yunkai understood his character, but he was afraid that after he finished speaking, he would run to do things in a hurry, and he forgot to talk about business.
"In the past few days, there is always a girl wandering around the entrance of the criminal department, sneaky, but she doesn't come in, and she hides as soon as the official goes out."
"When did it start?"
"It seems that after finding the bones of the White Shadow." Li Kang thought for a moment and said, "But after the bones of the white shadow were found, the news did not spread, and no outsiders should know about it." ”
He was right, it was impossible for the common people to know, but since it was a girl, it would not be a person from the yamen. But if the news has not been spread, it may be the daughter of the official family. Female ...... He suddenly thought of a possibility, "I see." ”
Seeing that he easily listened to it and had no other analysis, Li Kang said, "Then tell me what you want me to do." ”

In front of the criminal department, like other yamen, two statues were placed. Early in the morning, the officials came out to sweep the dust at the door and cleaned it cleanly.
Su Yunkai leaned against the side of the wall of the criminal department, waiting for the girl who wandered in front of the criminal department. After waiting for a long time, just when he thought she would not come, suddenly a skirt was revealed in the hidden alley. When someone came out of the yamen, the man retreated back into the alley. There was no one in front of the yamen, so she came out again, and her shadow was obliquely shining on the wall next to her, and she could just see her hair ornament.
Judging from the projection, the girl did not pull her hair in a bun, which confirmed Su Yun's conjecture in happiness. He stopped hiding, and strode towards it.
As if hearing the sound, the shadow quickly retreated, and when Su Yun drove to the entrance of the alley, he only saw a pretty back, and he shouted, "Girl, stay." ”
The girl stopped, and went on. It wasn't until he heard the footsteps coming from behind that he looked back, his eyes were frightened, and he said sharply after a while, "Dengzi, don't mess with me." ”
Su Yunkai didn't expect her to be so bold, even if she was a little scared, she was still quite imposing, he stood a little farther away, directly handed over the waist card, and said, "In the lower Su Yunkai, in the Ministry of Rites as an official." ”
The girl looked at him a few times, saw the waist card clearly, and then asked tentatively, "But the Su family in Jiangzhou?" ”
"My hometown is indeed in Jiangzhou."
"I know the Su family." Only then did the girl let down her vigilance, "I heard that you are sick and don't even accept the holy decree and are recuperating at home, but I see you...... It's clearly very good, you are a bully. ”
Su Yunkai put away his waist card and said calmly, "Ordinary people don't know too much about these things, but the girl is right, I guessed right, you are really the daughter of the official eunuch." ”
The girl's face changed slightly, but she didn't panic, "Yes, my father's mansion is in office." ”
"The government ...... So did the girl know Bai Ying Bai Catcher in the mansion? ”
The girl was stunned suddenly, her composure was completely gone, and her face turned pale, "What did you say?" ”
Su Yun sighed happily, "I think the girl is the girl that Bai Zhutou liked before his death, and after he disappeared, you also asked someone to send a bag of silver to his sister, right?" 166 Reading Network
