This is a red shoe, exquisite workmanship, embroidered with two immortals, lotus flowers, and golden lotus seeds, all of which mean auspicious.

However, the person who first discovered the shoe did not have such an association, he thought of the blood stains on the butcher's knife board, the dark red, the color of blood with fear.

Song Zhibai is a businessman, a businessman who came to Hequan for the first time, as the eldest son in the family to deal with some debts, because a relatively large cooperative Lu family has recently had some problems, and many things need to be dealt with, for this kind of thing, Song Zhibai is very experienced, and it is not the first time to do it.

But he never imagined that he would pick up a red embroidered shoe here, or an embroidered shoe that made people feel a little scary.

At that time, when he took his newly purchased pet to a relatively remote property of the Lu family, the slaughterhouse, to collect the title deed, he saw the shoe leaning diagonally against the edge of a small pond, which was full of oil stains, and some flies and insects were flying around.

The coquettish pet screamed, needless to say, the shoe appeared too weirdly.

This place is very remote, the house made of bricks is very dilapidated, after all, it is just a place to slaughter livestock, and the Lu family will not spend too much energy, so it is also very smooth to reach Song Zhibai.

The walls were low and rough, and there was a high fence around them, which was used to drive the pigs, sheep and other animals to be slaughtered here and trap them from escaping.

The surrounding wilderness is unused, and gradually a swamp is formed. If there is no one to guide the way, you may fall into a trap and fall into the bottomless center of the earth.

The black clay bubbled on the edge of the swamp, and no matter how dry the weather was, there was always a layer of water on the ground, forming a pool of water, floating with a layer of oil, and the feeling of a corpse floating.

The shoe, in a small pond outside the fence, was crumbling.

And it seems that because of the nourishment of those corruptions, even the color seems more and more bewitching and red. It's like the color of being soaked in blood.

Song Zhibai felt very curious. In fact, as the first heir designated by the family, it seemed very wrong to approach something seemingly inconsequential without considering his safety, but he seemed to be attracted, ignoring the hysterical cries of the beautiful new favorite around him. Just walk straight over.

He wanted to pick up the shoe......

only to find out. The weight of the shoes was a little heavily.

And then. He noticed that a small acacia tree had grown around the pond, with sparse and stunted leaves, revealing a yellowish green.

A gust of wind blew. lifted the oil layer on the water, and then Song Zhibai fell to the ground, unable to speak.

A pale foot was exposed, and the tip of the foot was in that shoe.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Long, the head catcher of Hequan County, rushed to the scene with his subordinates, at this time, the scene was already crowded with people who came out to see the excitement, although this place is a slaughterhouse, but there is a village around, most of the villagers are working here, and they all ran out when they heard the news.

At this time, Song Zhibai was already sitting in the carriage, drinking tea and being shocked, while Mei Ji next to him looked frightened, hiding in general, trembling.

Seeing this, Zhang Long knew that it was a son-in-law, so he said to Song Zhibai: "You reported the case." "Let's just look at the little guy next to me.

Song Zhibai has seen the world in the end, and he quickly calmed down after the initial fright, but he was glad that his curiosity was rejoicing, this is what the Lu family used to pay off debts, and a corpse appeared, and it is okay to find it now, if it is found when it is useful, I am afraid it will be even more troublesome.

So he said: "Yes, sir, it is below." Then he briefly introduced himself, and then said what had happened.

"Do you know the dead?"

"No, in fact, I only saw one foot ......," Song Zhibai said, and saw a person getting out of the carriage not far away, his body was a little weaker than that of the servant, his face was very plain and white, and he knew that it was a woman pretending to be a servant.

The woman stood still, took a notepad from her pocket, then lifted it, pulled out a charcoal penil, and stood.

"Ma'am." Song Zhibai saw that the head catcher who was talking to him just now actually walked over, bowed his head respectfully, and then pointed to himself. "This man is the first witness."

"What's your name?" Song Zhibai noticed that the delicate woman was stunned for a moment when she raised her head, but she controlled it very well, and quickly lowered her head and continued to record.

"Song Zhibai." He said lightly.

"Well, where to stay?" Noticing that her pen was sluggish for a moment, the last stroke of the word was a little picky, Song Zhibai was a little puzzled, did this person ever have any intersections?

I think about it, but there is no image.

And, listening to the meaning between the words of the headcatcher, this woman should have a husband, otherwise she would not be called a lady.

With doubts, he could only continue to answer the other party's questions.

"Ask what we mean by staying there, that thing, over there." At this time, Meiji, who was still trembling and hiding in the carriage, suddenly poked her head out and said loudly. "That corpse is over there!"

At this time, the Qingxiu servant, who had been recording with a pen, suddenly raised his head and looked at her: "Who are you?" ”

The tone seems to be questioning.

Song Zhibai didn't know why, so he hurriedly explained: "I just bought a singer." Then he looked at the singer with a hint of reproach in her voice. Fish, don't make a fuss. ”

"Oh." In a faint tone, the official continued to record and continue to ask. "Where to stay?"

"Yuanbao Building, Tianzi No. 1." The singer called Yu'er was very angry at the unwarranted accusation, and just now she was softly talking about her beloved, but now she dares to speak loudly to herself for a servant, it's just too aggrieved, and the tears come down.

Qingxiu listened to it and watched, and his heart became a nameless fire.

I hate women crying and crying the most, mother-in-law and mother-in-law, but I was just said, just this dead look, it's simple!

"How long have you been in Izumi?" She kept her head down, not wanting to see.

Song Zhibai was a little helpless, he just wanted to end this question quickly, and his answer was very cooperative: "I came here three days ago, my family has some business dealings with the Lu family, and I came to deal with some business problems. ”

Qingxiu nodded, after the Lu family had an accident, they decided to throw away the pawn of the eldest prince of Lu, sell all the family business of Hequan, and go to the capital to develop, so this Mr. Song seems to be the recipient.

So she nodded and said, "Why did you pick up that shoe at that time?" I don't know what's going on, her tone and way of asking made Song Zhibai suddenly feel very uncomfortable, as if she meant to guide herself to be a criminal.

"I saw the shoe, an embroidered shoe, and it felt weird." Song Zhibai's tone began to carry a hint of anger, and he spoke word by word.

"You can't go, you have to go back to the yamen with that foot......" Qingxiu's faint words made Song Zhibai's blood surge. (To be continued......)
