Chapter 36: Steamed Cabbage Heart (I)
Hearing that Liu Yiyi refused to turn off the lights and was afraid of the dark, Yue Linfeng softened, he thought that it would only be a moment before such a coincidence that the bad guy would come, so he no longer insisted on it, but was more vigilant around: "What's the matter with Miss Liu coming out?" ”
"I ......" Seeing that Yue Linfeng didn't look at her like he did during the day, but his attention was all on vigilance, Liu Yiyi regretted coming out a little to cause trouble for others, but she had already come out, "I'm here to ......"
"Quickly put out the lanterns!" Yue Linfeng suddenly blocked Liu Yiyi behind him and ordered anxiously.
"What's wrong? I'm here to ......" Liu Yiyi's reaction was slow, she saw a black shadow flying into the range of her house, and she was so frightened that she lost her voice, and the lantern and cloak in her hand fell to the ground at once.
There was a candle flame in the lantern, and the fur cloak was a combustible, not only did it not go out, but it burned even more vigorously, the flame suddenly rushed up, and Liu Yiyi, who was already afraid, subconsciously screamed again.
"Danger!" Yue Linfeng didn't expect things to develop like this, the firelight exposed both of them, he could only cover Liu Yiyi's mouth and hide her in the dark, the most important thing at present is to protect the safety of the girl in his arms, as for the suspect who finally showed up, he really couldn't take care of it.
As soon as the fire was in full bloom, the black shadow on the roof did not move, and it seemed that he did not plan to take advantage of the fire to rob, and when Yue Linfeng protected Liu Yiyi and couldn't take care of him, the black shadow did not go to find Master Liu nor touched the belongings of the Liu Mansion, but turned around and fled outside the courtyard.
A figure flew out from another place, and the real light body kung fu allowed him to successfully stop the black shadow, and at the same time, a bright sword forced the black shadow back into the courtyard of the willow house: "Don't move!" Where did the murderers flee? ”
With his shout, three more fires lit up around him, and at the same time, there was the sound of gongs, and the Liu family, which had been quiet when the lights were out, was completely lively.
Lu Tingqi!? Through the bright light, I saw that the person who controlled the black shadow was Lu Tingqi, the chief catcher of Mengzhou City, Liu Yiyi in the dark was not only not at ease but more frightened, her favorite in the novel was Lin Yuxiao, and it was Lu Tingqi who was most afraid!
It's much safer to have someone from the government...... Yue Linfeng breathed a sigh of relief, feeling Liu Yiyi's body trembling lightly, he comforted him in a low voice: "Miss Liu, don't be afraid, the murderer has already been captured......"
It may be that Liu Yiyi was still breathing heavily in fright, and some of the catchers looked at them vigilantly, and Yue Linfeng walked out calmly: "It turns out that Mr. Lu also led people to ......ambush him."
"It turns out that Lord Yue is ambushed here......" Lu Tingqi saw Yue Linfeng, his hand did not leave his sword to firmly restrain the man in black who had just been captured, and nodded to Qin Cha, "Lord Yue, how to deal with this murderer?" "He is a very resourceful person, and he still does not forget to be the highest in the field even though he is the first to be the first.
"Escort it back to the government for interrogation." Yue Linfeng said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Lu Tingqi replied respectfully, but his gaze looked at the dark place where Yue Linfeng came out, "Isn't Lord Lin with Lord Yue?" ”
The firelight just now was obvious, they really didn't see that it was Miss Liu? Yue Linfeng didn't believe it, he simply didn't do dark things: "Lord Lin didn't come, it was Miss Liu who didn't worry about Master Liu's safety and came out to patrol the night with me." ”
Liu Yiyi is afraid, this is a plot that is not in the novel, but she can finally hear that Yue Linfeng is helping her round the scene, and there are more and more people coming over, and the dark place is about to become the bright place, and it seems that there is a problem to hide again, she might as well stand up, and she doesn't believe that Lu Tingqi will act unwisely.
"Miss Liu?" Lu Tingqi seemed to have just discovered that Liu Yiyi was also there, and he was a little surprised, the sword that was originally against the chest of the man in black was offset a little because he turned his head to look at Liu Yiyi.
Probably thinking that this was an opportunity, the man in black suddenly struggled, and rushed towards Liu Yiyi despite the sword in front of him, probably trying to capture her as a hostage.
"Hide!" Yue Linfeng, who was observing the suspect on the other side, hurriedly shouted at Liu Yiyi, and at the same time flew to rescue, but the closest to the man in black was Lu Tingqi, and he also shouted: "Miss Liu, draw your sword!" ”
In front of everyone's eyes, Miss Liu, who has always been bold and martial, didn't move, seeing that her appearance was not calm but stupid, Lu Tingqi gritted his teeth, and the sword in his hand stabbed at the vital point of the man in black!
"Keep your mouth alive!" Yue Linfeng changed his words.
It's a pity that it's too late, the man in black was pierced by Lu Tingqi from behind, the bloody tip of the sword was no more than two feet away from Liu Yiyi, and his body leaning forward was a few points closer to Liu Yiyi, and his big eyes stared at Liu Yiyi without blinking.
Liu Yiyi's hair was dizzy, and she fell backwards as soon as her eyes turned black, and she was picked up by Yue Linfeng, who was driven to her side.
The scene was extremely quiet for a moment.
"Yiyi!? What's wrong with Yiyi!? Master Liu snorted and brought his subordinates over, only to break the quiet and somewhat strange atmosphere.
"It's okay, it's just scared." Yue Linfeng is indeed a righteous gentleman, he held Liu Yiyi with his hand to prevent her from falling, he had to do it, but he didn't take advantage of the danger of people to take advantage of the person and hug the person into his arms, Liu Yiyi, who was supported by his arm straight, was more than a foot away from his body.
Old Master Liu saw clearly that he was naturally grateful to Yue Linfeng, this was to protect the reputation of his Liu family and his daughter! "Thank you, Lord Yue, for saving the little girl......" He deliberately picked up slowly, so that others could pay attention to Yue Linfeng's posture at this time.
After supporting his daughter, Master Liu called: "Ying'er, help Miss go back to the room to rest, housekeeper, go and invite Lang Zhong to come." ”
The housekeeper of the Liu Mansion came out in response, but Miss Liu's personal ring was not present, Master Liu was embarrassed, the so-called personal ring is not far from Miss's side, how could Ying'er not be there? Could it be that his daughter specially ordered Yahuan not to follow? In the middle of the night, she came out alone......
"Aunt Wang, Aunt Zhang, help Miss go back to the embroidery building." There are also outsiders here, and it is inconvenient for Master Liu to investigate in detail.
Yue Linfeng let go of Liu Yiyi and didn't look at her again, he walked up to the dead man in black, squatted down and reached out to take off the face towel of the man in black, revealing an ordinary face that would be submerged in the crowd in a blink of an eye, but it felt a little obscene, and it was not the kind of serious person at first glance.
The man in black was indeed dead, but his eyes were still wide, and his face was full of horror and disbelief.
Could he be the murderer of the strange case in Mengzhou these days? Yue Linfeng looked at the corpse on the ground and pondered.
"Lord Yue, failing to keep your mouth alive is a dereliction of duty...... Lu Tingqi stepped forward uneasily to plead guilty.
“…… You are also here to save people......" Yue Linfeng was also a witness to the crisis just now, if Lu Tingqi did not set up a killer, Liu Yiyi might be taken hostage or even killed.
"But how do you prove this man's identity now? It's better to let the painter draw his face and make an announcement to see if anyone can recognize him, okay? Lu Tingqi is also a cautious character.
"It's fine." This is the same as Yue Linfeng thought.
……
The true identity of the man in black has not been officially determined, at best, the dead man can only be called a suspect, but just after dawn, the streets and alleys quickly spread what happened in the willow house in the early morning, and it was widely spread that the Mengzhou strange case was solved, so many people set off firecrackers in celebration.
The sound of firecrackers resounded throughout the city, and many people were woken up, including Du Shaonan, the Du Xiaobawang of Du Guogong's Mansion.
"What's wrong with the people outside! Are you all crazy? Du Shaonan began to lose his temper when he was sleepy-eyed, he had slight insomnia, and he had to fall asleep after the next day, so he hated being woken up the most.
The Du family is also aware of the young master's problem, if there is a noise near the Du family, they would have gone out to let people stop arguing, but now it is the sound of firecrackers in the whole city, who has the ability to make the whole city not noisy?
Mrs. Li woke up early when she was old, and the sound of firecrackers was not affected, she only felt sorry for her grandson, as soon as she knew that the movement was unstoppable by the whole city, she was helped by Yahuan to see Du Shaonan, just to see the baby grandson was awakened, and was still sleepy but could not sleep anymore, and said distressedly: "Don't stay, let's not stay in Mengzhou City, let's pack up and go back to the capital today!" ”
"Don't!" Du Shaonan was startled, and the person finally woke up, "I haven't visited enough Mengzhou City!" Quan Zhong, why is it so lively outside? He glanced at Du Quanzhong, who had just come in.
Du Quanzhong, who knows the master of the Du family, naturally understands: "Tell the old lady, young master, there are many people celebrating outside, I heard that the murderer of the Mengzhou strange case sneaked into the Liu family around the ugly time today, and was caught by Mr. Lu, who was ambushed there, and he was killed on the spot, and everyone is happy that the case is solved." ”
"Lu Tingqi's sword!?" Du Shaonan came to the spirit, "What about Yue Linfeng, where was he at that time?" ”
“…… No one has said this yet...... "So Du Quanzhong didn't hear about it."
"Ancestor, I'm going out to eat breakfast in the teahouse outside, there must be a lively scene to hear, and I will probably eat outside at noon and night, and I'll tell you a story when I come back." Du Shaonan said and hurriedly changed his clothes for going out.
"Be careful on the road." Mrs. Li didn't stop her, it's better to have a lively look than to endure the noise in the house.
In the morning, the rumors of various versions couldn't stop, Du Shaonan heard a lot, so he pulled Shang Xiaozhu to Lin Yuxiao to ask the truth.
It was almost noon when Du Shaonan and the others arrived at Qincha's private residence in Mengzhou, so Lin Yuxiao looked at the eyes of the two uninvited guests with vigilance: "How do you know that I am cooking today?" ”
"You're cooking today?!" Du Shaonan and Fang Xiaozhu were surprised in unison.
"You should know how messy it is outside, Linfeng doesn't want to go out to eat, and I can't leave him alone at this time, so I can only do it myself." Since there are guests coming, Lin Yuxiao can't drive people away, it's just to cook more meals.
"Yue Linfeng is also there?" Fang Xiaozhu frowned, if it wasn't for Lin Yuxiao's face, he really wanted to turn around and leave immediately.
"What did you cook?" Du Shaonan's drooling investigation.
"What can I have here in the winter, turnips, cabbage, cabbage, turnips." Lin Yuxiao doesn't care if they stay or not.
"Turnips and cabbage will do the same." Du Shaonan grabbed Fang Xiaozhu and insisted on staying to eat.
