In the twenty-first year of benevolence, the imperial capital was full of wind and snow......

On the corner of the street, the red octagonal beauty palace lamp left by the Shangyuan Festival swayed in the wind, and the silver palace bell tied at the end of the red rope "jingle bell, jingle bell" rang non-stop, and it was very harsh in the early morning when the north wind was howling.

The leader eunuch Bi Fuquan who was sitting on the horse frowned, "The Shangyuan Festival has passed, what's going on with this palace lamp?" ”

The little eunuch who followed on foot immediately lay down, and the snow water covered his knees, "Go back to Grandpa Bi, Xu is ...... There is no time to withdraw. ”

"Nonsense!" Bi Fuquan's hand fell, "Don't hurry up and take it down for our family!" ”

The little eunuch whispered "yes" and ran over and tore it off, and the bell at the end of the red rope fell into the snow with a "snap", and the eye-catching red on the corner of the street finally broke the news.

"You have to listen well, this happened suddenly, and now it is a critical moment, pay more attention to me when I am on an errand, otherwise I don't know how to die!" Bi Fuquan whispered in a sharp voice.

"Yes!"

"Don't leave quickly, Your Majesty is still waiting for our family to return to life!"

As a result, a group of people disappeared into the street.

Two hundred meters away, the Prince's Mansion was still crying......

Not long after, the news that the prince of the middle palace of the Great Yue Kingdom in Middle-earth was deposed in front of the emperor was deposed spread all over the city.

That night, Murong Qin of Cen Prefecture received the first news.

"Finally...... Wait until this day! He stood by the window, his words hard to hide his excitement.

"Congratulations Childe!" The small bamboo hut was full of kneeling people, all of whom were happy.

"It's time, it's time for this game to begin!"

Outside the window, an old peach tree is just budding......

The imperial capital, the Xuanwu Yicheng that returned from the snowy night was refreshed, as soon as he entered the "Green Garden", he reached out and grabbed the delicate beauty, and the wolf paw did not hesitate to probe into the beauty's low-cut skirt, with an eager expression, "Qin Niang, but do you miss this king?" ”

"Lord, bad ......" The woman who called Qin Niang was as charming as silk, and the jade peak on her chest was looming a little.

"Come into the house and see how bad I am!" He picked up the blushing woman and went straight to the inner room, and the entourage behind him closed the door and left.

In the inner room, Xuanwu Yicheng is sitting in danger, how can there be a lewd and urgent color.

"Is the news true?"

"The news came back from the south, and the subordinates didn't dare to hide it!" The pretty woman just now knelt in front of her, her eyebrows lowered and her eyes were pleasing to the eye.

In his hand was a wax pill that had just been taken out of the woman's chest, the size of a pearl, and there were only five words on the paper: Wushen Yu Cen Zhou.

"Cen Zhou...... Very good! ”

The corners of his mouth were slightly curved, the evil chuckled, and he threw it away, and as soon as the palace lamp in the corner of the wall turned on, the wax pills and paper juan instantly turned into ashes.

"It's late at night, and this king goes to bed first." Lightly dropped such a sentence, Xuanwu Yicheng lifted the curtain and turned into the warm pavilion.

It didn't take long for the fiery ** mixed with the sound of wheezing rippling......

……

……

Spring comes in February, the imperial capital is constantly snowing, but the small city of Jizhou in the south is full of warblers and grass, and the spring flowers are blooming!

"Murdered!"

"County master, you've killed someone!!"

Shrill cries accompanied by the chaotic beat of drums pierced the quiet county seat of the small state.

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Zhixian blew lightly on the tea soup in the blue and white porcelain cup, leaned forward, and carefully gave it to the woman beside him.

"It's rare on this sunny day, the old man and his wife taste tea and enjoy the flowers, what kind of trouble is this?" Zhou Zhixian smiled flatteringly, "Isn't it Madame?" ”。

The woman in the beautiful dress in front of her focused on the weight of the brush in her hand and ignored it.

The eighth time! For the eighth time this month! Madame turned a blind eye to him!!

Since the Qinglou incident, the woman who is powerful in the inner courtyard of the county government on weekdays has become as cold as ice!

Zhou Zhixian rolled his bean-shaped small eyes, frowned on his forehead, and the tea soup in the cup flickered, and a few drops splashed on his fingertips.

"Oh, why is it so hot, how do you cook tea?" He threw away the teacup and bluffed at the servant beside him, and four or five maids hurriedly leaned down and knelt down, bowing their heads one by one and saying nothing, like a chilling cicada.

The woman in the beautiful dress slowly put down the paintbrush in her hand, and her beautiful eyes swept to the side of the pear blossom wood, and she chose a sharp and hard one, and continued to trace the five-petal peach blossom.

The light in Zhou Zhixian's eyes flashed away, and he said secretly: It must be that annoying crying that spoils a good thing, but I want to see what kind of thief is so bold and reckless that he dares to kill people in front of this adult!

Looking back deeply at the beautiful shadow immersed in the painting, Zhou Zhixian dropped his sleeves and went straight to the front hall!

At this time, the people watching at the gate of the yamen were very lively.

"I heard that the harmful woman was in a hurry, and she was going north to join her relatives, but because it was late yesterday, she stayed at Mrs. Liu's house, but she killed Mrs. Liu in the middle of the night!" The peasant woman with a vegetable basket in one hand said to the eldest sister in the same village.

"How did you say this woman was able to do it, I heard that the old black dog of Mrs. Liu's family was killed! It is said that it is all bleeding from the seven orifices, oops, you didn't see that there was still a big black pool of blood on the ground this morning! ”

"Ahh The peasant woman was frightened, "This, is this the murderer who did it?" A few days ago, several big yellow dogs in the next village also died like this. ”

"Shhh, don't talk nonsense, it's scary, this is a person or a ghost, won't you know in the first trial?" The eldest sister next to her stopped, stepped forward and squeezed again, to see if the county master was coming.

"Ascend - Hall ——!"

Zhou Zhixian didn't see his person, he heard his voice first, and this thunder, which was a few voices higher than usual, roared down, and the people who were talking about it immediately stopped, and even the master who had just returned from shopping in the kiln immediately straightened his waist.

"Mighty...... Wei" the officials shouted in unison.

"Stop, stop!" Zhou Zhixian waved his hand impatiently and bluffed downward: "Don't come to this set, quickly bring the drum to sound the grievances." ”

As soon as he thought of his wife's cold eyebrows, his face darkened a little, and he sang something, so he didn't finish the trial quickly, so that he could go home and coax the beauty!

"My lord, the slave aunt was killed by the black-hearted lady last night, please call the shots......" The village woman with a handful of snot and tears in the hall fell to the ground and kept kowtowing.

It's like this again, as soon as you come up, you say that you want to call the shots for this and that, and you don't make things clear and clear, who will call the shots for you?! Zhou Zhixian's brows furrowed deeper on his forehead, and he glanced down to the left.

The master looked at the black-faced Zhixian, and thought to himself: It seems that the rumors are true, Lord Zhou is well versed in official affairs, but he is a 'model' who is afraid of guilt.

Knowing that Lord Zhou was coaxing his wife, the master wisely omitted the tirade, cleared his throat, and asked directly: "Who is in the hall, why don't you quickly explain the reason for the matter?" ”

"My lord, the peasant woman is from Wuli Village on the outskirts of Jizhou City, yesterday, the slave aunt kindly took in the thief and the servant woman to stay overnight, but this morning, when the slave family rushed to find that the aunt died tragically in the house, it was seven tricks bleeding, my lord!" The village woman cried out to the sky.

"That's really the case, Mrs. Liu is kind enough to take in Yin, but she doesn't know that she is a murderer."

"We must execute this female devil and eliminate harm for the people!"

"Yes, eliminate harm for the people, and pay for killing people!!"

As soon as the people heard the village woman crying, they were as lively as if they had exploded.

"Silence, silence!" Zhou Zhixian slapped a few boards hard before the scene was restored.

This is the case in small states and counties, where any small and trivial matter can attract attention.

Zhou Zhixian wondered, how could he die if he took it in well?

"Hurry up with the suspect!"

I want to see what kind of villain he will take revenge, Zhou Zhixian sneered.

The woman in front of her, slender figure, dressed in plain green clothes, with a light veil, but even her eyes are covered, you can't see the slightest look, full of green silk with the same color ribbon lightly tied behind, there is no gold, silver and jade ornaments on it, only on the side of another carved pear blossom hairpin, very simple and simple, both sides are supported by the girl's mother-in-law, but she is half leaning on the mother-in-law, seemingly weak and boneless, as if a breeze can blow down.

How to say it, even if you look left and right, you don't look like a murderer! Zhou Zhixian circled around the woman again and shook his head.

"My lord, my lady has been weak and sick since she was a child, and she has recently been infected with a cold, and she came to Jizhou for treatment and treatment, and stayed at Mrs. Liu's house yesterday, and she didn't kill anyone!" The mother-in-law beside her anxiously argued.

"Yes, my lord, the lady is weak, and she even needs to be supported on weekdays, so how can she kill people alone?" On the other side, the slightly chubby little girl was even more anxious to wipe her tears.

And the woman in the middle didn't say a word!

"Are there any witnesses?" Zhou Zhixian asked the village woman who was kneeling and weeping.

The village woman hurriedly wiped away her tears, nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, my lord, when Ah San next door got up in the middle of the night, he saw this woman in Tsing Yi coming out of my aunt's house. ”

"Take Ah San!" Zhou Zhixian hurriedly said.

After a while, a ragged villager was brought up, and when he saw the three women in Tsing Yi on the left, he immediately stopped, his face was shocked, and he was even more frightened.

"Is the hall a witness?" Zhou Zhixian was also shocked when he saw the man's expression change!

"Little ...... The villain is Ah San. The villagers knelt down and kowtowed.

"Do you have any testimony to say?" Zhou Zhixian asked.

The villager named Ah San looked up at the eldest master, and then glanced sideways at the three women, and said, "Yes...... Yes...... Yes, big-man! ”

"Why don't you say that quickly?"

"Villain, when the villain got up in the middle of the night yesterday, look ...... to see a famous woman in Tsing Yi is ...... is coming out of Mrs. Liu's room...... Come out. Ah San wiped his sweat.

"Nonsense, my lord, I slept with the half-fragrant girl outside my lady, how could we not know when the lady went out, my lord?" The mother-in-law who was supporting the woman hurriedly defended.

Zhou Zhixian raised his hand, stopped her defense, and continued to ask, "Oh, have you seen that woman's face clearly?" Did she have a murder weapon in her hand when she came out? ”

Ah San shook his head, "No...... No, my lord, the woman seems to be wearing a veil on her face, she can't see clearly, and she doesn't have anything on her hands, big ...... People, the small, the small only know...... Got it. "I knew that I was going to be interrogated by the county lord, and he wouldn't mention it to the village woman if he was killed, Ah San regretted and was afraid in his heart.

Zhou Zhixian was confused.

Logically, the three foreign women sought medical treatment due to illness, and they stayed at Mrs. Liu's house until it was getting late, you say, what is their motive for killing? For money for money?

These three people, although their dresses are all plain, and there is no jewelry on their bodies, but when a discerning person looks at the veil of the woman in green clothes, he knows that it is worth a lot! Although it is only the size of a palm, it is as thin as a cicada's wings, hazy and semi-transparent, this is not the point, just when I looked closely, I was shocked in my heart, and the veil loomed on it was actually a flowery ink pear pattern! This flower ink pear pattern is the unique mark of the first Kyoto cloth - Yujinbo! They are not bad for money, they are definitely not bad for money!

Yu Qing, a foreign woman, is unfamiliar with the place, and stays at the house of an ordinary peasant woman at night, and she can't say anything about having no hatred and no complaints!

"My lord, although my aunt is a widow, and she doesn't have a son and a half daughter, but she has always been a bodhisattva, she can't even kill a chicken, and she has never had a feud with any family, she has ever scolded, she kindly took them in last night, and she died in the house this morning, isn't they who they are, my lord?" The village woman saw that Zhou Zhixian was silent, and she was busy crying and shouting.

"Yes, yes, Mrs. Liu is a good person and kind-hearted, so I have never seen her rush with anyone."

"That woman has lived well with us for so many years, why did they come to stay overnight and die? Who else could there be if it wasn't for them? ”

"Yes, Ah San saw it, it was the woman, she killed it!"

The people were indignant one by one, and they couldn't wait to dispose of the three foreign women immediately.

"Silence! Quiet!! Zhou Zhixian slapped a few times impatiently.

"Bring Mrs. Liu here!"

Since you can't find the murderer, start with the dead! Although people are killed, there will always be some clues left, Zhou Zhixian thought secretly.

At this time, it was Mrs. Liu who was placed in the middle of the hall, and the people who were still scolding just now suddenly stopped. Na Ah San moved far outside timidly, while the village woman knelt on the side and kept crying. The girl timidly called the lady, and the servant pulled the girl closer to her side, but ...... But the woman in Tsing Yi didn't make any moves, yes, there was still no move!

Zhou Zhixian glanced at the three masters and servants suspiciously, squatted down, and slowly uncovered the covered white sheet. The timid villagers, some hurriedly turned their heads, and some were blindfolded.

In fact, after cleaning up, Mrs. Liu didn't see any horror, as if she was asleep, and there was no so-called seven-hole bleeding, and of course she didn't find the clues she wanted!

Zhou Zhixian sighed secretly, and was about to cover the white slip, but saw a corner of Tsing Yi on his side. When I looked up again, I saw the woman in Tsing Yi being supported and squatting down, and she actually raised her hand and stretched out her hand to Mrs. Liu!

"Ahh What do you want? The weeping village woman screamed!

But the woman in Tsing Yi did not stop moving, only to see her touching one side of Mrs. Liu's neck with one hand, pressing her left chest with the other, and then nodding to her mother-in-law behind her.

The mother-in-law suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the county lord with a happy face: "My lord, Mrs. Liu is still saved!"

What, saved?

How can a dead person be saved?

Zhou Zhixian is even more confused!

"Aunt saved? , do you think my aunt can still be saved? The village woman grabbed the woman in Tsing Yi and asked.

"What are you doing? Let go of the lady! The girl next to her hurriedly peeled off the village woman, protected it with both hands, turned her head and said to the village woman: "My lady said that there is salvation, that is, there is salvation!"

"Oh, how to save the dead!"

"It's just, I've been out of gas for so long, I'm dead, how can I save it?"

"Yes, yes, you killed someone, and now you say to a dead man that there is salvation, who is to lie!"

The people were talking again.

Zhou Zhixian was about to ask for a clear understanding, but found that the woman in front of him had grabbed a few silver needles in her hand at some point, the roots were as thin as hair, and the tips of the needles were flashing with blue light, when he didn't have time to see what it was, he saw the woman's green clothes cuffs wave, and a light and elegant fragrance hit him, and then looked at it, those silver needles had all pierced into the top of Mrs. Liu's head, but the roots did not enter half a minute, and then the woman leaned forward and flicked lightly at the tail of a needle, In an instant, I saw all the silver needles that had been pierced moving rapidly.

Zhou Zhixian's eyes widened suddenly, and he turned his head to look at the woman beside him in surprise!

At this time, Mrs. Liu's originally pale complexion slowly turned purple, and then to jet black.

"Ahh

The village woman screamed, and before she could come back to her senses, a mouthful of black blood spurted out of Mrs. Liu's mouth, and then she miraculously opened her eyes, coughed vigorously, and mouthfuls of black blood kept overflowing from the corners of her mouth!

"Ahh Auntie, aunt! The village woman hurriedly rushed over, picked up Mrs. Liu, and kept patting her on the back!

"Yikes! The dead are alive! Look, look! Ah San screamed!

"Alive, alive, Divine Doctor!"

"It must be the Bodhisattva's manifestation, the Bodhisattva's manifestation!"

The people were so excited that they crowded over, wanting to see it clearly!

What the hell is going on? Homicide? Save?

Zhou Zhixian squatted there in a daze, completely puzzled this time!!

And next to him, the master who had been staring at the woman in Tsing Yi suddenly thought of something, hurriedly opened the crowd, and squeezed to the side of the county magistrate to ask anxiously!

However, Zhou Zhixian didn't understand what was going on, and there were screams here again.

"Lady --!"

"Lady --!"

I saw that the woman was like a withered petal slowly falling, and the silver needles with black blood poured all over the ground, but I don't know which corner of the missing spring breeze accidentally lifted the hazy veil of flowers and pears, revealing a stunning alluring city......
