I saw two figures in the darkness rushing straight down like eagles hovering in the air, and pounced towards the fierce old woman.

Ning Yiheng was half a step faster, one hand hooked the woman's clothes like an eagle's claw, and with a wave of his hand, the woman had already flown out a few feet.

Ling'er only heard a "plop" behind her, turned around and looked, and saw Ning Yiheng and Mu Chenfeng standing behind her, and then saw that the mother-in-law just now had been thrown out of the distance. With Ling'er's intelligence, he had already guessed the reason after a little hesitation.

The three of them looked at each other in the dark, Ning Yiheng and Mu Chenfeng walked towards the woman-in-law, and Ling'er followed slowly. Before coming closer, I only heard the slight ** voice of the mother-in-law, Mu Chenfeng went up and kicked it, and the mother-in-law snorted, since she passed out.

Ling'er said: "Don't kick it to death, keep it and take it back for trial to see what it is." ”

Ning Yiheng stepped forward and picked up the woman's wrist, and after a while, he hesitated: "It's so strange." ”

Mu Chenfeng breathed a sigh of relief at this time, there is no need to mention anything else for the time being, and he will take the person back.

As soon as he whistled, Leng Xiao, the leader of the red-clothed guests hidden in the darkness, came to respond. Although Leng Xiao is nominally the leader of the red-clothed guests, the main task is to protect the young master of Xunyinlou, and it is more appropriate to call him Mu Chenfeng's personal guard.

Leng Xiao clasped his fists and saluted Mu Chenfeng: "See the young master." ”

Mu Chenfeng said coldly: "Send this person to the Criminal Department and hand it over to Cui Bin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and notify the Rui Wangfu by the way." ”

Xunyinlou has recently made many strange moves for the murder of many ** sons in the capital, but nothing has been found, and when he heard the young master say this, Leng Xiao suddenly felt relaxed in his heart: "The subordinates obey orders." Then he lifted the mother-in-law lying on the ground and flew away, but he couldn't see a trace of heaviness. Ling'er couldn't help but secretly admire, thinking that it would be good to ask one or two for advice one day.

After the matter was dealt with, Ning Yiheng said lightly: "I don't know if the girl's feet can be hurt?" ”

Ling'er then remembered that she had fallen just now, and her feet were still hurting, and she forgot about it for a while. After being reminded by King Rui, his body and mind relaxed at this time, and he suddenly felt as if it was more painful than just now, and he couldn't help but let out an "oops" and almost wanted to fall.

Ning Yiheng was about to stretch out his hand, but Mu Chenfeng hurriedly reached out to hold it, which saved Ling'er from falling.

Ling'er was secretly glad in her heart, "It's good that I didn't fall, it would be embarrassing to fall on all fours in front of such two super handsome guys." ”

King Heng saw Mu Chenfeng Ling'er in his arms, and somewhere in his heart was faintly unhappy, and said in his mouth: "Brother Mu, it is better for you to go to Hengwangfu in person, although people are caught, it is not necessary to ask if you are ugly, if there is a mistake, I am afraid that there will be many twists and turns in Xunyinlou." ”

Mu Chenfeng is a beautiful woman in her arms, and when she heard King Heng's words, she felt that it was very reasonable. It's just that he originally planned to send Ling'er back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to express his gratitude, but he hesitated at this time.

Ling'er hurriedly pushed Mu Chenfeng with both hands and said, "Mu Gongzi is very important. ”

Mu Chenfeng no longer hesitated, clasped his hands into fists, "I will come to the door another day to thank you!" Turning around and flying away, Ling'er saw a burst of envy.

King Heng saw Ling'er seeing Mu Chenfeng leave, with an obsessive expression, and his heart was not good. But I don't know that this Ling'er is worshipping people's light skills of flying eaves and walking on the wall, as for that person, "too handsome, unreliable," Ling'er is still the old saying.

When Ling'er came back to her senses, she noticed King Heng beside her, and said busily: "If the prince is not busy, can he send the people's daughter?" "She's not a cowardly person, but she just went through a fright tonight, and her foot hurt again, and it's a bit difficult to go back by herself.

Ning Yiheng couldn't help but be stunned, where did she think that this girl would offer to let her send her, looking at that expression, there was no trace of embarrassment, so she had to say, "Girl, please." ”

Ling'er was speechless for a while, and said in her heart, "Grandma, if I could walk well, I would have run back a long time ago, and let you send something?" Thinking about it like this, the bad water in the stomach bubbled out, "The people's girl's feet hurt so badly that I can't walk, ...... you look, Lord Wang?"

The words have been said about this, even a fool understands, let alone as smart as a king. Ning Yiheng said: "Girl, wait a minute, I will quickly send a soft sedan car to send the girl home." ”

Ling'er saw that the other party was about to give an order, so she hurriedly said: "No need, whoever doesn't sleep this big night will trouble the prince alone." But in his heart, he said, "I'm not very heavy, haha!" ”

Seeing that King Heng was still in a daze, Ling'er couldn't help but staggered to his side, "Excuse me, hehe!" ”

King Heng was speechless, so he had to pick her up with both hands, hugged her into his arms, secretly lucky, his body was light, and a few ups and downs ran forward.

Ling'er hugged King Heng's neck, feeling the feeling of flying up was so uncomfortable, it was a little fluttery.

When he arrived at the Lingxi Courtyard, King Heng slowly put it down, and Ling'er still had a feeling of unfinished.

King Heng borrowed the moonlight to look at the person in front of him, although he was wearing the clothes of a beggar, the brilliance of his body was extremely dazzling, which made people can't bear to take their eyes off.

At this time, Qingxi, who was waiting in front of the door, hurriedly ran over and shouted, "Miss, you are back." "Originally, in order to reduce the unnecessary trouble caused by Ling'er's late return, Ning Yiheng specially asked people to send Qingxi and a girl disguised as Ling'er back, because Lingxi Courtyard was also unattended, so the disguised person who waited in the courtyard left over the wall.

Ling'er thanked King Heng at this time, Ning Yiheng was a little reluctant in his heart, and he turned around and left when the master and servant entered the house, so I won't talk about it here for the time being.

Let's say that after Mu Chenfeng left, he went to King Rui's Mansion to send the news in.

King Narui was relieving his boredom at Concubine Mei, and when he heard that the murderer had been caught, his expression was shocked, and he immediately announced Mu Chenfeng to enter.

Mu Chenfeng told King Rui about today's events one by one, but omitted the fact that the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion disguised herself as a female beggar.

After hearing this, King Rui couldn't wait, so he hurriedly rushed to the criminal department. When the mother-in-law was brought up by the servant, King Rui, who was sitting in the lobby, wondered if Mu Chenfeng was perfunctory to himself, this was obviously an ordinary mother-in-law. A glance swept over the guard Rui Fu standing beside him, Rui Fu went down to caress the veins, and after a long while, he walked back and leaned over and whispered in Rui Wang's ear: "There is no internal force." ”

The woman was thrown by King Heng, although she did not hurt her muscles and bones, but she was old after all, and at this time, she only had the qi to come out, not to enter. If you look closely, it's just an ordinary person, and there is nothing unique about it. If he hadn't personally experienced her ruthlessness, even Mu Chenfeng would have wondered if he had caught the wrong person.

Seeing that he couldn't ask questions at this time, King Rui ordered: "From tomorrow onwards, take the portrait of this person and secretly inquire who it is, and do it quickly." ”

The guards received the order, and Cui Bin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, hurriedly asked the doctor to treat the mother-in-law, if the mother-in-law died in this prison before the trial, he would not be able to lose ten heads.

Within a day's work, Ruifu had found out the origin of this person. It turned out that this mother-in-law was just an orphan mother-in-law, and there was no one else in the family. Her husband has been dead for many years, and she originally had a son named Zhuzi. The pillar is loyal, hardworking and capable, and earns some silver by picking up feet on weekdays, and this woman washes and sews for people, although the mother and son are hard, they can also make a living.

Later, the mother and son saved some silver, and then told the pillar about the daughter-in-law of the Wang family. Who would have thought that this Wang family would hook up with the two gangsters on the street a few days after getting married, and was caught and raped in bed by the pillar, and the anger rose from the heart, and the pair of adulterers and adulteresses were beaten to death with only a few strokes.

Murder pays for life, but the poor pillar was sentenced to be beheaded, leaving the old mother alone and helpless.

According to neighbors, although the mother-in-law has rarely interacted with people since her son's death, she has always been kind and has never had any conflicts with others.

After listening to Ruifu's investigation, Ruiwang's face was full of doubts. After checking for so many days and using the servants of the yamen in the capital, is the murderer such an inconspicuous old woman? If this is sure to be her, is this a merit or a fault? There was a burst of shame and indignation in my heart, and I instinctively refused to believe that a dying old woman could do such a sensational tragedy in the capital, and there must be an amazing secret behind the scenes.

The trial was elevated to the court again, only this time in secret. At this time, the woman's injuries had stabilized, and she had come to her senses. When I came to the public hall, I looked up and saw King Rui sitting in front of me with a majestic but murderous face, and the officials on both sides were even more wolf-like, where had she seen such a formation in most of her life, and she was so frightened that she trembled.

King Rui sat on the court and watched coldly, this woman was born with a thick face, gentle eyes, and she couldn't see the slightest killer.

Cui Bin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, saw that King Rui sat upright for a long time and said nothing, and said anxiously: "The mother-in-law below listened, and quickly said who instructed you to kill the five innocent women in the capital, what do you want, or someone secretly instigated it, and it is not too early to avoid the pain of flesh and skin." ”

The woman looked at the people in the hall with a blank face, "Murder? Even if you kill a chicken, you don't dare! Suddenly shouted again and again, "Wronged! ”

Where did Cui Bin hear this, in the lobby of this criminal department, all those who come in can only be recruited truthfully, otherwise they will not shed their skin. "Lord, what do you think ......?" Cui Bin didn't dare to make his own decisions and asked.

King Rui was silent, just looked coldly at the person who shouted wronged, and after a moment, a tacit look.

Cui Bin beckoned, and the prepared official stepped forward to push the woman to the ground, and the sound of the board snapping suddenly filled the entire hall.

The poor woman was old and frail, and she wailed a few times at first, but after a few sticks, she lost her breath, and the official hurriedly stopped, and tried to snort, but it was already weak.

I had to find a doctor, and it was another toss.

After tossing for a long time, he found nothing, and Mu Chenfeng, who was sitting in the back hall and listening, was anxious like fire. Although this person is caught, if she doesn't recruit him, she won't be able to prove that she has caught the right person, and she won't be able to make a deal. After thinking for a moment, there was no other way, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, "How can I forget that quirky girl, maybe she will have a way." ”

Ling'er was eating in the Lingxi Courtyard at this time, and the foot injury was healed after a little massage, and in addition to sleeping in the past few days, he was chatting with Qingxi, and the two of them had a leisurely life. Ling'er just boasted that she would make a rare snack, and she didn't eat it in Qingxi.

Where would Qingxi believe that at the level of her own young lady, she didn't know that the young lady had ever been in the kitchen. It's that the young lady can cook a few dishes after waking up from the injury, and they taste good, but to be honest, the cooking skills are superb, and they are still far behind, let alone rare dim sum.

Seeing Qingxi's suspicious look, Ling'er seemed to feel that her authority had been challenged, and she must show her hand to make Qingxi obey. So I washed my hands, went into the kitchen, and began to make a starting point.

I saw Ling'er put the flour into the basin first, and then use the boiling water to enter the flour, and stir the flour with chopsticks while putting the water until the flour became a uniform dough. Let the dough cool for a while, take the cooked cooking oil and dip it on your hands, then take the cooked dough and knead it into a ball, press it with your thumb to make a nest, then take a spoonful of sugar and put it in, and then roll the dough round and flatten. After doing this, several round, flat dough sheets are placed in boiling oil and fried until golden brown on both sides.

Qingxi saw that Miss was skillful, and she was very curious. Looking at the finished dim sum again, Huang Cancan's is very good-looking.

Ling'er smiled: "Try it." ”

Qingxi couldn't wait to put one in his mouth and take a bite, the skin was thin and crispy, the inside was soft and sweet, it was really delicious. I ate several in a row, and I felt as if I had never eaten such a delicious dim sum.

In the kitchen, the master and servant were eating and chatting at the same time, which was really unhappy.

Mu Chenfeng flew in from outside the courtyard, sniffed it, only to feel bursts of fragrance coming to his nose, and a woman's silver bell-like laughter came from the kitchen. I couldn't help but be curious, and I slowly leaned in, and I saw a happy scene in the kitchen.

Qingxi turned around and saw Mu Chenfeng, and exclaimed, "Mu Gongzi, why are you here?" ”

Mu Chenfeng leaned against the door and looked like a swinger, "Smell the fragrance and come uninvited." ”

Seeing Mu Chenfeng's like that, Ling'er said in her mouth: "Want to eat white food? ”

Mu Chenfeng was a little embarrassed when he was said like this, and he asked a girl's family to say that he Mu Shaozhu ate white food, and said forcefully: "Pay the silver, just open your mouth if you want as much as you want." ”

Ling'er Fang smiled: "The person who comes is a guest, try it." As he spoke, he handed the remaining snacks on the plate to Mu Chenfeng.

Mu Chenfeng saw a few round and flat things in the blue and white porcelain plate, yellow and cancan, the fragrance is very strong, pinch one and taste it, soft and glutinous and sweet, so delicious. couldn't help but look at Ling'er, "You did it?" ”

Ling'er didn't answer, but said, "How does it taste?" ”

Mu Chenfeng couldn't help but praise, "It's a little more delicious than what the imperial chef in the palace makes." ”

Ling'er smiled, and then asked, "Young Master Mu didn't come here today just to eat a few snacks, right?" ”

Mu Chenfeng hurriedly said: "I just have something to ask the girl, I don't know if the girl is free." ”

Ling'er said to Qingxi, "Please sit in the living room of Mu Gongzi, and I'll come over immediately." ”

Qingxi led the morning breeze to the living room and served tea. Mu Chenfeng looked at the hall, although it was clean and tidy, but it was very empty, and there was nothing that should be furnished, which showed that the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion was not rich, but it was difficult for her cheerful personality.

Ling'er finished cleaning up and went to the living room. Mu Chenfeng raised his eyes and looked, the woman who washed her hands and made soup in the kitchen just now was still a plain face, and a few pearls were embellished in her hair, which was more fresh and bright than the hairpin full of pearls. A goose-yellow gauze skirt is knee-length, and the arrow sleeves are strong, so it is not good.

Ling'er sat down, Qingxi served tea, and then picked up the cup and said, "What is the matter with Mu Gongzi?" ”

Mu Chenfeng was also subtle, and directly told the mother-in-law who was caught, and added: "No matter how you look at that mother-in-law, you can't commit murder, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes that night, I would have suspected that I had mistaken it." ”

Ling'er listened to Mu Chenfeng's statement, thought about it in her heart, and said slowly after half a sound: "Is it schizophrenia?" ”

Mu Chenfeng looked at her suspiciously, "schizophrenia" was unheard of.

The two were meditating, and suddenly a person outside smiled and said, "Brother Mu came to visit the second lady, and he didn't call this king." ”

Ling'er hurriedly greeted the door, and saluted: "The prince is here, and the people's daughter is polite." ”

King Heng saw that although Ling'er was dressed simply today, her spirit was flying, which was incomparable to that of ordinary women. Today, I found a reason for myself to come to see her, and when I saw it, I couldn't help but feel a wave in my heart, and I still said indifferently on my face: "That day, the girl stepped forward to find out the murderer and took risks, and this king came to visit today, I don't know how the second lady is injured?" ”

Ling'er glanced at Ning Yiheng, then looked behind him, and said, "Really come to see me?" ”

King Heng was surprised, could he still be lying, and his face remained silent: "Naturally, I came to visit the girl." ”

Ling'er slowly turned around and entered the living room, and said as she walked: "I said that you two, since you came to see me, you have to bring something to the girl, so you are empty-handed." ”

Mu Chenfeng and Ning Yiheng looked at each other, speechless for a while, who dared to ask the two of them for something!

King Heng was astute and took the lead in speaking: "Naturally, I brought something, and I will deliver it to the second lady later." ”

Mu Chenfeng hurriedly complied, "Come and see the second lady, naturally it is indispensable." ”

Ling'er smiled at this time, "Hehe, that's good." But he said in his heart, "These two must not have come in through the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, to see how they will deliver things at that time." If Ji Qian knew that the backyard of his house was coming, what would the prince and the young master of Xunyin Building look like. After thinking about it, Chong Ning Yiheng said: "Young Master Mu and I are analyzing the situation of that mother-in-law, if the prince is interested, you can sit down and discuss it together." ”

Ning Yiheng didn't shirk either, and the three of them sat back at the table again, and Qingxi served tea.

Ling'er continued: "The so-called schizophrenia, as the name suggests, is mentally that is, there is something wrong with the brain. ”

Seeing that the two of them listened carefully, Ling'er analyzed: "The main symptoms are various delusions and hallucinations, which reinforce each other, and under the influence of hallucinations and delusions, various abnormal and dangerous behaviors can occur. However, when this disease does not occur, it is no different from ordinary people. But these are all my guesses, and it is possible that the woman is a master of disguise. ”

Mu Chenfeng pondered for a while and said: "Your analysis is not unreasonable, but now how do you know whether the mother-in-law is mentally ill or deliberately disguised?" ”

Ling'er said: "The method is very simple, people with mental illness often have seizures under the stimulation of external objects, and based on what the mother-in-law did, with the wisdom of the young master Mu, he naturally knows what to do." After that, he smiled at Mu Chenfeng, and saw that the two people on the other side were shaking their hearts for a while.
