My sister-in-law has lived in seclusion for five years, but she has escaped the wind, sand and sunshine in the northwest, and her skin is whiter and more tender than five years ago. Coupled with the already beautiful facial features, with a little stroke, she is a Peugeot beauty.

Although she didn't know why the banquet was held, she had lived in Wenchi for many years and had never heard the county order entertain civilians. Therefore, she must take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Even if it's a concubine, it's a skinny camel.

She happily sent Shen Yueran out of the gate of the Shen family and handed it over to the officials.

Shen Yueran remembered something, said "Wait a while", turned around and ran back to the south room.

Wu Zhaorong was apprehensive for a while, but fortunately, Shen Yueran came out immediately, but there was an extra purse on his waist.

"Let's go." Shen Yueran said.

The officials listened to the order and took the lead.

Wu Zhaorong watched the two leave, and muttered in a dumb voice, "Marry-go out, this account won't be settled with you-"

Shen Yueran walked all the way with the yamen, entered from the back door of the yamen, and along the winding path, the garden gradually appeared.

She was "caught" that day, and she had also seen this garden.

But at that time, I was only scolding, and I was not in the mood to watch.

At this time, the morning sun is rising, and the whole garden is shrouded in a morning light, full of vitality and greenery.

She couldn't help but feel relaxed, and felt that the feelings she had suppressed for a night were also relieved.

After passing through two twists and turns, the eyes suddenly opened up, and an open space appeared in front of them.

The official consciously retreated, and Shen Yueran raised her eyes.

Under the osmanthus tree, on the side of the case, Wei Yi stood straight with his hands behind his back.

Sure enough, it was him.

Shen Yueran clasped her hands in front of her and bowed to call, "Lord Wei." ”

Wei Yi turned around, saw that it was her, was slightly stunned, and then raised his lips and smiled.

The woman in front of her has a pink-faced face, a long and peaceful body, simple and elegant, where is the shadow of the "old girl" in the half-cent pool?

Sensing his gaze, Shen Yueran felt a rush and couldn't help lowering her eyes.

"Sit." He saluted, sat on the desk with his robe in his hand.

Shen Yueran hung her head and sat on the desk with her hands down.

"Although this is a servant, you also call me an adult, but this banquet is purely private, you don't have to be formal." Wei Yi saw her discomfort and spoke out to reassure her.

Who knows, he didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as he said it, Shen Yueran became more and more embarrassed, and his palms were slightly oozing sweat for no reason.

Unpromising!

She clenched her hands and cursed herself in her heart.

Wei Yi felt a sigh in his heart, this woman was sometimes spicy, sometimes shy, but he was at a loss for a while.

He thought about it, clapped his hands, and two rows of girls came from the verandah with gold and silver bowls full of melons and fruits. After a while, a dazzling array of melons and fruits were placed on the table of the table.

There are many kinds of fruits in summer, colorful, rich in taste, full of nutrition, a table of melons and fruits, more suitable for the occasion than a table of delicacies of the mountains and seas, which is mouth-watering.

Shen Yueran looked at these colorful melons and fruits, and was a little greedy.

"Please." Wei Yi said.

Shen Yueran was unable to resist the temptation, grabbed a handful of cherries, and a few lychees, and feasted on them.

After the delicious stomach, Fang Cai's restraint was swept away, and Shen Yueran opened the conversation, "Master Wei, has she done all the tricks?" ”

"Recruited." There was a condescending smile on the corner of Wei Yi's lips.

Shen Yueran raised her eyes and glimpsed it, her heart moved, it seemed that this Master Wei was not good at chatting with people, otherwise, he would not have specially put on a melon and fruit banquet to eliminate her nervousness, and then wait for her to speak.

It turned out to be a reserved person.

Shen Yueran thought like this, much easier.

She ate comfortably and asked, "How did Master Wei make her recruit?" The folk girl thought she was going to deny it. ”

Wei Yi said, "Although Yu Xiaoying is a ruthless and cold-blooded person, she has a fatal weakness. Grasping this, she said everything. ”

"What weakness?" Shen Yueran was very curious.

"Gluttony."

"Gluttony?" Shen Yueran was embarrassed, and the cantaloupe in her hand didn't know whether to stuff it in her mouth or put it back in the basin.

"Yes, gluttony." Wei Yi said, "Everyone has weaknesses, and she is no exception. She always steals and harms people, to put it bluntly, all to get silver to satisfy her appetite. Therefore, as long as she tempts her with delicious food, she will naturally recruit everything. ”

Shen Yueran put the cantaloupe into her mouth, swallowed it, and sighed lightly, "After all, she is still a child, a child who only knows how to be greedy for momentary pleasure and vent momentary anger." ”

"It's a child, but it's also a child who has committed a crime." Wei Yi emphasized.

"Then she-" Shen Yueran couldn't ask. Killing people pays for their lives, it is justified, not to mention two lives, Yu Xiaoying, she-

Wei Yi understood, "I won't be sentenced to death, there is a special prison in the Bianjing Prefecture Prison Department for criminals under the age of sixteen, and I will take her there." ”

Although Wei Yi understated it, Shen Yueran knew in her heart that Yu Xiaoying would never kill people and set fire to such bad things, even if she didn't die, it was estimated that she would spend time in prison in the future.

Thinking of this, she lowered her eyes.

Perhaps, this is Yu Xiaoying's best place to go.

The two were relatively silent for a while, and Shen Yueran said, "Lord Wei, the folk girl has three questions for you. ”

Wei Yi smiled lightly, "Please speak." ”

Shen Yueran saw him smile, and then remembered that the night the two first met, he had also asked her three questions, and at this time, she gave it back to him.

She also smiled and said, "First question, when did Master Wei start to determine that Yu Xiaoying was the real murderer?" ”

Of course, she would not be naïve to think that Master Wei would focus his suspicious eyes on Yu Xiaoying after looking at her portrait.

Wei Yi said, "It should be said that the image of Yu Xiaoying's murderer is clear in my mind little by little. In fact, on the night of the cake shop, Yu Xiaoying exposed at least two flaws. One is her attitude towards Li Xinyi. Do you remember the first thing she said when she came to the cake shop smelling the smell of the cake and heard that the shortbread was gone? ”

Shen Yueran thought for a moment and said, "I remember that she said regretfully at that time, 'None of them?' It smells so good, so it's good to taste it.'" ”

Wei Yi nodded, "Yes." Her first reaction was one of regret rather than fear. If she was afraid of Li Xinyi, when she didn't finish what Li Xinyi explained, it would be impossible to still haunt that she hadn't tasted the fragrant shortbread, and even begged one to taste it, but she should say that Li Xinyi would beat herself as she did later. I was thinking at that time that this girl might not be as afraid of her master as she seems, so weak and deceitful.

Later, from Fang Shu's narration, from the bitter crying of the Li family after Li Xinyi's death, I am even more sure that Li Xinyi is not a person who treats girls harshly, she peets Yu Xiaoying, there must be her reason. However, this is all afterthought, and has nothing to do with that night.

The second is her attitude towards shortbread.

She came to the bakery with a shortbread smeared with arsenic, and after I confirmed that the thing on the cake was arsenic, the shortbread became an important piece of evidence. If she wants to prove her innocence and blame you, then she should take care of the shortbread and don't let you take it away. But what did she do? When the girl of the Li family came to catch her, she suddenly had a seizure, jumped and jumped, trampled the shortbread under her feet, and stepped on it to a pulp. ”

Shen Yueran couldn't help but interject, "Lord Wei's meaning, she is actually taking the opportunity to destroy the evidence of her poisoning?" ”

She also felt that Yu Xiaoying's reaction seemed to be too intense that night. The girl of the Li family hadn't done anything to her at all, she had already begun to resist hysterically.

"Yes." Wei Yi said, "It's just that I thought that it was Yu Xiaoying who was poisoned, and I wasn't sure who she was poisoning, whether it was a person or a cat." ”

Shen Yueran knew it in her heart.

No wonder he went out of his way that night to point out that her reasoning only explained Flowey's death, not who poisoned the shortbread. It turned out that he already had a deduction in his mind.

Wei Yi continued, "The second time Yu Xiaoying appeared in my mind was after I examined the murder scene. Acquaintances committed crimes late at night, their strength was not very large, their methods were ruthless but not stable, and their motives lacked self-discipline, these doubts all pointed to the girl next to Li Xinyi, and Yu Xiaoying, who had a dispute with Li Xinyi, naturally took the brunt of it.

However, I didn't have much time to arrest and interrogate the girls around Li Xinyi one by one, so I had to take risks and use you to lure the snake out of the hole. Unexpectedly, this introduction attracted Yu Ziqiang, who was eager to protect the girl. Coupled with the strange footprints you pointed out at the time, I was momentarily confused and listened to Yu Ziqiang's confession. ”

Shen Yueran covered her mouth embarrassedly and chuckled.

Wei Yi also smiled, "The third time Yu Xiaoying appeared in my mind, it was you who came to the yamen with a portrait to shout grievances." I immediately understood what the crux of the problem was that I had not understood before. However, that is only suspicion, not evidence. Moreover, Yu Ziqiang was bent on death after confessing, and if Yu Xiaoying was openly wanted again, Yu Ziqiang was very likely to commit suicide to protect his daughter, so I chose to let the tiger return to the mountain. ”

"What if Yu Ziqiang runs away?" Shen Yueran asked.

"No, it won't." Wei Yi said affirmatively, "Since he is guilty of Yu Xiaoying, he will not run away if he can't confirm Yu Xiaoying's safety." I had imagined what it would be like for this father and daughter to meet. Unexpectedly, the one that I don't want to see the most, happened. ”

Yu Xiaoying is not the youngest criminal he has ever seen, nor is he the most murderous criminal he has ever seen, but he is the youngest of the most murderous criminals he has ever seen, and the most murderous of the same age, even his own biological father will not let go.

He had a moment of sadness.

It turns out that Master Wei, who has always been calm and self-controlled, also has moments when his true feelings are revealed.

Shen Yueran raised her eyes to look at him, and her heart moved.

After a moment of silence, she said, "Second question, can Master Wei tell the people's daughter, what did Yu Xiaoying do?" ”
