Out of the Mingxiang Teahouse, the two sisters were silent all the way.

Jiang Ruoning walked ahead, and Ah Huan followed.

As soon as he returned to Dali Temple, Leng Er said: "Miss Jiang, Mr. Chunyu invites you to go." ”

Jiang Ruoning entered Chunyu Hospital.

Mr. Chun Yu shook his feather fan, "Shortly after you left in the morning, someone gave you a gift, and the brocade box was for you. Today afternoon, the Governor of the Eastern Army, Song Fuyue, sent a post, naming and sending it to you, asking you to take Ah Bao to the flower viewing banquet in two days. ”

Jiang Ruoning read the post and handed it to Ah Huan, but on the other side there was a boxy thing wrapped in purple satin, she pondered for a moment, untied the knot on it, there were two boxes inside, and there was a sandalwood box on it, and when the lid of the box was opened, a box of golden light shone for a while, this was a box of golden ingots.

Mr. Chun Yu was slightly surprised and then regained his ordinary color.

Jiang Ruoning removed the box above, the second box was a black cloth wrapper, after untying it, there was a skull inside the box, and there was a note along with the skull, so he had to write a line of words: "Please help the girl restore the appearance of this head before her death, and a thousand taels of gold to show her gratitude." ”

There was a familiar smell on the baggage, Jiang Ruoning sniffed hard, and whispered: "Liu Xi!" ”

Mr. Chun Yu asked in surprise, "Liu Xi?" ”

Jiang Ruoning said: "I went to the department store today to confirm the fat powder used by Liu Xi. ”

Ah Huan recalled that Jiang Ruoning stood in front of the fat powder counter, smelled boxes of alabaster and gel, and exclaimed: "Senior sister didn't buy fat powder, it turned out to be confirmation?" ”

At that time, she thought that her senior sister liked those fat powders, and secretly said in her heart: If I have money in the future, I will definitely buy a few boxes of the best alabaster for my senior sister.

Jiang Ruoning said: "Liu Xi used the osmanthus scented gel, alabaster and fragrance of Yurenfang. There is a faint scent of osmanthus on this skull. The gold was left and handed over to Dali Temple for disposal. I took the head away, and I also wanted to know what this man looked like before he was born. ”

Liu Xi is a woman, and she also appeared in Liu's mansion with her disguised appearance.

So who is she? sent the skull to Dali Temple, and openly gave Jiang Ruoning such a sum of gold, asking Jiang Ruoning to restore the appearance of his head before his death.

Who is the skull brought by Liu Xi?

This series of doubts made Jiang Ruoning seem to grasp something at this moment.

But. Liu Xi saved her life in Yueweiyuan, Qingxi County, no matter what Liu Xi's intentions were at the time, she owed Liu Xi a favor, so she decided to restore the appearance of this skull before her death.

Mr. Chunyu shook his fan. "In my opinion, Liu Xi will definitely show up."

Liu Xi is a key figure in Liu Ding's case.

Liu Ding's case is a big case of 14 lives, even the Criminal Department and the emperor were shocked, for this case, the Criminal Department and Dali Temple want to be in the game. Both sides want to solve the case.

Jiang Ruoning said: "Liu Xi seems to know some inside information, but it seems that she has nothing to do with Liu Ding's case. ”

Liu Xi is involved in this case, not that they want to clarify Liu Xi's innocence, but that Liu Xi needs to figure out his innocence. A person who uses the osmanthus fragrance powder of the Jade People's Square is obviously mostly a woman.

*

Jiang Ruoning entered the floating garden, and Ah Huan quickly prepared yellow mud and sent it.

She forgot about her sadness, and busied herself with the work in hand, filling her skull with yellow mud little by little, and by the time dawn the skull was complete. He is a well-defined and masculine man.

Jiang Ruoning took a pen and paper and sketched his appearance before his death, when the head grew hair in the drawing paper, when the eyebrows and eyes had a look, when the facial features had expressions, a man with a rich face jumped on the paper.

Finally, the painting is done.

Jiang Ruoning looked at the clay figure steadily, and then looked at the painting in his hand, only to hear a sudden realization of a woman's voice behind him: "It turned out to be him!" ”

Jiang Ruoning suddenly looked back, and there was a woman dressed in black standing behind her. However, the fragrance wafting in the air told her: This is Liu Xi.

"Your name is not Liu Xi, what should you be called?"

The woman looked at Jiang Ruoning fixedly, and her gaze quickly moved to the clay figure's head, "You do have some skills." His Royal Highness admires and likes talented and capable women the most. ”

"Second Highness......

Second Prince Murong Qi!

Listening to her tone, she seemed to be very familiar with the second prince.

The woman said, "I can tell you some secrets, but you must promise not to tell them." ”

Jiang Ruoning said: "Since it is a secret, the girl is still hiding it in her heart." I only need to know one thing: why did you kill Liu Ding's party, she is a poor woman, and she is pregnant. ”

"People. I didn't kill it, but I know who killed it. ”

For all those who have committed murders, a few will admit that they are murderers.

Jiang Ruoning said: "You are not Liu Xi? ”

"Liu Xi has someone else." She raised her head slightly, still looking at the painting in Jiang Ruoning's hand.

It wasn't Liu Xi who came, so Liu Xi didn't appear from the beginning.

Jiang Ruoning has never been in contact with the real Liu Xi, in Yueweiyuan, Qingxi County, the person who saved her was the woman in front of her, and she and this woman were only meeting for the second time.

Or is it that from the beginning, she mistakenly recognized an irrelevant person as Liu Xi.

And this woman only knew some of the inside story of Liu Ding's case by accident or coincidence.

The woman smiled slightly, this was an extremely ordinary face, her smile was very weird, she could only see a three-point smile in her eyes, her face was still wooden, she said in a low voice: "Liu Ding's family was killed by Grandma Liu who spent five thousand taels of silver to buy a killer, and this killer is what you call Liu Xi." You guessed it right, he was the hand that came after the disguise. He's the killer, and I'm ...... I'm not a killer, I'm a secret guard. I know Liu Xi, but why should I tell you where he is? I can tell you that the real culprit behind the scenes is Grandma Liu, as for the evidence, this is your Dali Temple's business, and what I have to do is to find the truth of another thing. ”

However, at this moment, only a sound of talking was heard from the floating garden.

"Liu Xi entered the Floating Garden and surrounded the Floating Garden."

The woman in black turned around, snatched the portrait and the clay head, suddenly flashed her sword, put it on Jiang Ruoning's neck, and said angrily: "This is a trap you set to lure me into the game?" I said, I'm not Liu Xi! ”

"I believe in you."

Jiang Ruoning saw it last time, the woman in black was not Liu Xi, but it was possible that she knew Liu Xi.

"It was your words that misled them!"

The woman in black was annoyed, hateful, she actually fell for the trick.

She waited on the roof all night, just waiting for Jiang Ruoning to restore the appearance of the skull before her death.

"You didn't deny it in the first place."

The woman in black held Jiang Ruoning hostage and walked out of the floating garden, "Retreat, Jiang Ruoning is in my hands, if you don't retreat, be careful that the sword has no eyes!" I'm not Liu Xi, and I didn't kill Liu Ding. It's your Dali Temple's business to find out the real culprit, I just want Jiang Ruoning to help me restore the appearance of the owner of the skull......"

When Mr. Chun Yu saw the gold and the skull, he set up this game with Master Zhu, and was sure that he would come to take the portrait, and it would be of great use to restore the appearance of the deceased with such a large amount of money.

The woman in black pushed suddenly, and Jiang Ruoning stumbled and almost fell.

The woman in black had already flown onto the roof, "Zheng Gang, Iron Blood, you guys catch up with me and try!" ”

Leng Eryi gritted his teeth and chased after him.

However, in less than a quarter of an hour, the two were lost.

Zheng Gang hugged his fists and said, "Sir."

"Lost?" Mr. Chunyu asked.

Zheng Gang and Leng Er looked at each other, Leng Er looked around, except for Jiang Ruoning, everyone else withdrew from the Floating Garden Flower Hall.

Leng Er said in a deep voice, "She's the Imperial Snake." ”

"Royal Snake ......" Mr. Chunyu's expression was complicated.

The snake is the person of the Twelve Xiao, Zheng Gang and Iron Blood must be entangled, but because of the identity of the other party, they dare not entangle, so they have to let her go. Twelve Xiao is even the criminal department to give three points of courtesy, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are all in awe of them, they are the emperor's eyes and ears in the people, rivers and lakes, the government and the opposition, up to the prince, down to the people of Limin, no one dares to be guilty. For fear of provoking the Twelve Xiao, they will take the handle and sue the emperor.

The members of the Twelve Xiao are the masters of the Ouchi masters who are directly appointed by the emperor, and they have the right to directly present the emperor.

Mr. Chunyu asked, "Who is she trying to restore?" ”

Jiang Ruoning took a pen and paper, this is her spare sketch pen, running quickly, outlining, depicting, the action is so fast, so that Mr. Chunyu is also moved, a quarter of an hour later, she handed over a piece of paper, "This is the face of the deceased." ”

Iron Blood, also known as Leng Er, because of his cold face, ranked second in Dali Temple, and some people called him Leng Er, Jiang Ruoning never thought that Leng Er, who took her to Dali Temple, was actually a famous Iron Blood.

Zheng Gang said: "This person is Ma Xiao, the deputy general of the second prince when he was in Northern Xinjiang. ”

"Five years ago, the second prince died in the Flying Wolf Ridge, and tens of thousands of horses were wiped out, how could the imperial snake take Ma Xiao's head to recover?"

The snake didn't know that the head was Ma Xiao.

Jiang Ruoning lowered his head, "Could the snake be looking for someone?" And she suspected that the man was not dead. ”

Mr. Chunyu's eyes were shining: The princess and princess will be protected by secret guards from childhood to adulthood, especially the prince who is valued by the emperor, and it is reasonable for the people who send twelve Xiao around him to protect him, since Emperor Yongle of Dayan, this has been the case. There will also be secret guards around the second prince, but for more than five years, the whole world knows that the second prince died in battle, and the emperor is seriously ill due to the loss of his beloved son.

The snake is the person of the Twelve Xiao, and the person she is looking for is naturally extraordinary......

Iron Blood said: "Sir, when the bones of the second prince returned to the capital, I heard that the corpse had been torn apart beyond recognition by the wild wolf, would the second prince not die?" ”

If the second prince didn't die, why hasn't he appeared for a few years?

Jiang Ruoning didn't want to know the royal secrets, and said solemnly: "The royal snake told me that she is not Liu Xi, Liu Xi is a killer, and it was I who misled everyone before." But the snake seemed to know some of the hidden secrets of Liu Ding's case, and she told me that the person who spent 5,000 taels of silver to buy a killer to kill Liu Ding's was Grandma Liu. ”

Grandma Liu and Liu Ding's are concubines, why did she kill Liu Ding?

Is this a love killing, or is it because Liu Ding's family knows some secret?

Mr. Chun Yu gasped: "The words of the snake are not to be believed, let's wait for our people to bring back the news." He glanced at Jiang Ruoning, "You haven't slept all night?" ”

"I've been wishing for the skull's appearance before her death, and she appeared as soon as it was completed."

The snake had been waiting on the roof all night, if she hadn't appeared, Jiang Ruoning wouldn't have noticed it, so it can be seen that the snake's martial arts are far above Jiang Ruoning. (To be continued.) )
