Something really happened in Kyoto. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiao Huan's words were really confusing, and he immediately raised his hand to signal him to take a breath first, Xiao Chu asked, "Something is wrong?" What's going on in Kyoto? ”

"Back to the eldest lady, because Kyoto has not been peaceful recently, the fourth young master is worried that something will happen to the eldest lady, so he will let the little one go out from time to time to see if he can find out some useful news."

Xiao Churui knows a bunch of people from the three sects and nine ranks, and if he really wants to find out something, it is not extremely difficult for him to do so. Where did Xiao Huan go to inquire about useful information, Xiao Chu's heart was clear, and he directly squinted and glanced at the fourth brother on the side. However, the fourth brother who was so picturesque and jade carved actually glanced at the side by mistake, and also rolled his eyes that Xiao Chusu really looked at.

This white eye, if it weren't for this bastard boy who cared about himself in his heart, Xiao Chuxuan really wanted to go up to the face of the jade and pinch it hard. Half-squinted for a look, then moved his gaze back to Xiao Huan, Xiao Chu asked, "Then?" But what did you find? Is something wrong with the daughter of a wealthy family? ”

"The eldest lady is really a god, the little one hasn't opened her mouth yet, and the eldest lady is clear in her heart?" As soon as these flattering words came out, Xiao Chu immediately glared at him with disdain, glared at him unceremoniously, and said: "Don't talk nonsense, if you have something to say, you want to learn from the third young master to flatter and make women happy, you kid is not qualified enough." ”

Any woman, as long as Xiao Chuheng's peach blossom eyes are picked, as soon as the words come out, he can't suppress the rippling spring heart in his heart, but the premise of these is because Xiao Chuheng has a romantic face. And this Xiao Huan? I don't know if it's because Chu Heng and Chu Rui have been getting closer recently, and they are also a lot closer to the third young master, and between the words, the third young master turned around. I didn't pay attention to it, but now that the eldest lady glared at it with disdain, Xiao Huan also realized that his smile just now was too flattering, so he immediately straightened his eyes and said.

"Eldest Miss, the fourth young master asked the little one to go outside the mansion to investigate, and the little one listened to the fourth young master's instructions, so he went to the abduction alley, and he really heard something in the kidnapping alley."

This kidnapping alley is not a place where decent people are willing to go, but Xiao Churui asked Xiao Huan to go there to inquire, and really found out useful information from there, what is the root cause, Xiao Chushu knows it in his heart. immediately smiled again, and then smiled at the fourth brother, 'I will talk about it later', and then continued.

"And then? But what kind of privacy did you find in the neighborhood that you didn't hear? ”

"Exactly! The little one inquired that this time the thieves in Kyoto not only killed the daughters of the major merchants, but also the daughters of the officials and the scholars, who were also poisoned yesterday. ”

"The daughter of the official book? The daughter of an official family? How so? ”

Originally, I thought that the victim should be a woman from a merchant family, but now it seems that in Kyoto, no matter whether it is rich or noble, there is no luck. Immediately, his face sank slightly, and he sat down on the chair, Xiao Chuxuan said.

"This official is still a scholar, if I remember correctly, the daughter of his family is the only daughter of the old man. Because there is only this daughter, the official book has always been held in the palm of his hand and petted. Afraid that something will happen to his daughter, the house, especially near the boudoir, is even more strictly guarded. Under such strict prevention, the thief actually entered the Shangshu Mansion and harmed the daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials? The people who do these things, I'm afraid they are not what I guessed before, and there is a commercial dispute? What exactly are they doing this for? ”

There was nothing else, only to attack this rich lady, who was the daughter of a wealthy family before, but this time she didn't even let go of the daughter of the official family. No matter who they are, no matter how unruly they seem to be, the victim will inevitably have one thing in common. Although these rich ladies have no quarrel with the world, they will attract thieves, and there must be them.

Frowning and contemplating, Xiao Chushu guessed the possibility of it, and listened to Xiao Churui's 'The official family has touched the mold this time', and was thinking about what kind of situation could contact the daughter of the official businessman, but Xiang Zhu, who was waiting on the side, was lightened at this time. Whispered in surprise, as if remembering something, because of this whisper, Xiao Chushu's mind also made her hook over, and she moved her eyes to look over, Xiao Chushu asked.

"What's wrong?"

"The daughter of this scholar's family?" frowned slightly, his eyebrows tightened, and he pondered for a long time before saying: "The daughter of this official Shangshu family, Xiang Zhu has seen it!" ”

"Have you seen the daughter of this official scholar? When? This official Shangshu is very fond of this only daughter, and I have heard that the daughter of Shangshu is also a virtuous woman. On weekdays, the door does not go out of the door, and even the women of the emperor's family and important ministers may not be able to see it, where have you seen it? ”

"On this year's Shangyuan Festival, I saw it in Meiling Pavilion."

"Meiling Pavilion?"

It is the attic in the innermost part of Datong Temple in the western suburbs, which is generally used for the rich lady to make a vow, and outsiders or poor women are not allowed to enter. On this year's Shangyuan Festival, the eldest lady went to Meiling Pavilion to stay for a few days, and Xiang Zhu saw Miss Shangshu there. ”

"Where is it?"

Although the daughter of a rich family does not usually go out, every time she begs for a fortune, she will always go out of the house to wander around and pray for blessings in the temple, which is a norm. Hearing this, he nodded slightly, and immediately bowed his head slightly, Xiao Chuxuan said: "Shangyuan Festival, no matter how long the young lady lives in the boudoir, she will also go out of the house to explore that day, and the daughter who wants to come to the Shangshu family is no exception." Since it was a chance encounter during the Shangyuan Festival, it was right to Xiangzhu......"

Suddenly, he thought of something, and even raised his voice a lot, and looked at Xiang Zhu straight, Xiao Chuxuan asked: "That day in Meiling Pavilion, apart from the daughter of the Shangshu family, do you remember who else?" These young ladies who were brutally murdered by thieves could be in Meiling Pavilion that day. ”

Xiao Chu didn't ask, Xiang Zhu really didn't notice this, but now that he asked and thought about it, his complexion changed at the moment. With a focus on his chin, Xiang Zhu exclaimed: "In this way, those young ladies have really been to Meiling Pavilion during the Shangyuan Festival. ”

Why was the victim's daughter looked down on by the thief, now this common denominator is found, hearing this, Xiao Chujie was a little surprised, Xiao Chujie exclaimed: "It's like this, but what if you have been to Meiling Pavilion?" That's why you will be killed? It's also too ......."

"It's definitely more than that." Before Xiao Chujie's words fell, Chu Rui pouted and said: "There are a lot of daughters in Meiling Pavilion who wish on the Lantern Festival, if this is the only one, wouldn't it be that all the daughters in Kyoto who have some family backgrounds have to be careful." can easily enter the Shangshu Mansion, and can also silently take the life of Shangshu's daughter without being discovered, it is definitely not an ordinary thief. In the past few days, I have searched for them one by one and killed them one by one, but I feel that these thieves seem to be looking for something. Not aimlessly, but carefully selected. Eldest sister, didn't those daughters overhear something in Meiling Pavilion that day, so in exchange for the disaster of killing. ”

Xiao Churui's words are indeed reasonable, if only Meiling Pavilion is used, the scope is really large, so the only possible thing is only on Meiling Pavilion, and there is a common connection among the daughters, and the common connection is to pay attention to it. The fourth brother's words were exchanged for Xiao Chu's thoughts, nodding his head and thinking seriously, but on the Shangyuan Festival, it was not himself who wished in the Meiling Pavilion, but the former eldest lady of the Xiao family, so what happened in the Meiling Pavilion, Xiao Chuxuan was unclear.

No matter how much you rack your brains for something unclear, you looked at Xiang Zhu and asked: "Xiang Zhu, I really can't remember the things in Meiling Pavilion, you were also there that day, can you think about the common place between these daughters." Or the clothes on the body, or I really don't know what I heard, or I don't pay attention to where I went, or what I get, but I think that there are other connections. ”

"Don't you know where you've been, what have you got?" Xiao Chu's words made Xiang Zhu pause, and after a little thought, his eyes lit up, and Xiang Zhu said: "In this way, these murdered daughters really got the same thing in Meiling Pavilion. ”

"What kind of the same thing?"

"Plum brand."

"What's that?" Xiao Chu has never heard of this thing, and immediately people were confused, and after being confused, he smelled the bamboo and said: "Plum card, is a kind of wooden card made of plum wood specially carved by Datong Temple, there are only a few pieces every year, and the host personally cut the wood to make a square card of about one inch, and then carved the plum blossom by everyone." At the end of the year, there is only the daughter of the Shangyuan Festival that will be given to the Meiling Pavilion to repay the wish, because there is only one time a year, and there are only a few pieces, so the daughters of all families in Kyoto are happy to get a pair. The plum card of Datong Temple is different every year, and the plum card of Shangyuan this year, the daughter of the murder has it. ”

"The plum card of Datong Temple, could it be that this is the common place? But just because of this mere deck of plum cards, what can happen to attract such a disaster. ”

It's only a deck of plum cards that come out once a year, and it really makes people wonder why those thieves want to attack the daughter, and after more than half a year, they managed to find out one by one, and they were killed one by one.

This matter is really puzzling, but it can't be explained to the deep roots.

The root cause is deeply confusing, that is, Xiao Churui, who listened to it for a long time, and when Xiao Chu's voice fell, this heartless bastard said with a smile: "This monk of Datong Temple is not honest, he is a good monk, and he has nothing to do with what bamboo and plum cards, thinking of ways to arouse the interest of rich daughters, so as to add sesame oil money to himself." Hmph, it's okay now, because of his plum card, how many girls have caused trouble, I think this Datong Temple, it should also take responsibility. ”

When the words came out, his eyes rolled straight, and I am afraid that there was a bad thought in my heart that I was afraid that the world would not be chaotic. The bad mind moved, and the angry stare of the warning was inevitable, and the bad idea that was aroused was temporarily suppressed by the horizontal glare, and then he rolled his eyes and looked at it under the warning of Xiao Churui.

"It's just that I think about it, and I won't really do it, why should the eldest sister worry about those bald donkeys. But then again, how many plum cards they gave on the Shangyuan Festival this year should not be just those few daughters. If there are more than a few daughters, then the remaining ladies who hold the plum card may have to be careful. ”

Mei Pai is the common place of thieves and murderers, Xiao Churui's laughter and sigh is also reasonable, but this reasonable smile and sigh does not know why, but it makes Xiang Zhu completely change his complexion. The already calm complexion completely changed at this time, and there was obviously a little anxiety between the eyebrows, and Xiang Zhu looked at Xiao Chu with anxiety and a worried face.
