Mrs. Ye didn't seem to be afraid of the dead, nodded at Xu Qirong's side, walked to the corpse, and stretched out her hands from under the cloak, making the light of the lantern shine and look a little pale.

Mrs. Ye was very thin, there was basically no meat on her hands, and her knuckles were distinct, she first pinched Caiyue's face and looked at it, then broke Caiyue's eyelids and looked at it, looked at her mouth, ears and nose, and finally touched the back of Caiyue's head, frowned, and then pressed it on the rest of the body.

As they were pressing, the two mothers-in-law who went to get the lanterns finally came back, and the two mothers-in-law each carried two lanterns, and the hall suddenly lit up.

Seeing a heavily dressed woman examining the body, the two of them were startled at first, and then began to rejoice, since this Mrs. Ye had done it herself, there was no need for them to worry about being afraid of touching the dead person.

In the end, Mrs. Ye stood up, nodded to Master Xu Si and Xu Qirong, and said, "Only the back of the head has a wound, and there is no trace of struggle in the whole person, I don't know if I fell into the lake and fell on the stone and fainted or was knocked unconscious and then thrown into the lake." ”

Having said that, Xu Qirong had already decided that Caiyue was knocked unconscious and thrown into the lake.

Caiyue is not stupid, how could a good person fall into the lake for no reason? Besides, this Cuiwei Lake is outside Shuiyue Xuan, and it really fell into the lake, how could Caiyue not call for help? And most importantly, who will hit the back of their head after falling into the water? And in the case of the resistance of the water, I knocked myself unconscious.

Master Xu Si also figured out this truth and asked Mrs. Ye: "Is there any evidence that he was killed?" ”

Mrs. Ye shook her head: "But from the corpse, there is no real evidence. Except for the wound on the back of the head and the mud of the weeds. The corpse was clean from top to bottom. "There's no evidence, and there's no hint of what Cai Yue might have left behind.

As he spoke. I heard that someone came in to report that Shuntianfu had sent someone to verify Caiyue's death. Fourth Master Xu was busy with Qiu Nong and sent Xu Qirong back to the Fengbo Building. Let Yu Xia help Mrs. Ye back to Fenghua Courtyard, and personally greet the official who came to verify.

The official was in his fifties, and he was a little hanging, and while following Master Xu Si to Cuiwei Lake, he complained: "Don't you look at what this is, can't you report it tomorrow?" I just served the bowl and haven't had time to eat! ”

Master Xu Si smiled bitterly, shook his head, and stuffed a few pieces of broken silver into the official's hand: "There is really no way, the whole person is swollen." I'm afraid I can't wait for tomorrow. There are many women and children in the house, and it is easy to be frightened. ”

The official got the money, his attitude was better, and he sighed: "You have some truth in what you said. But I'll just complain a few words, it's not for nothing that the house is more anxious than you, and it's not unheard of people who knocked on the door of Lord Yin's house in the middle of the night to report. ”

When he walked to the corpse, followed by the light of the lantern, he glanced at the corpse, and the official snorted. Heart, this little girl looks like a Peugeot, shouldn't it be because she caused a romantic affair and was discovered to end up like this? On his lips, he asked Master Xu Si quietly and routinely: "What is the cause of death of the deceased?" ”

Master Xu replied honestly: "Drowned." ”

"Who are you serving?" The official took out a crumpled and yellowed piece of rice paper and took a brush. He licked the tip of the pen and wrote it on the yellowed rice paper.

"It was a third-class maid next to the little girl."

The official raised his head and glanced at Master Xu Si: "What's so strange about the deceased's death?" ”

This question, Master Xu Si hesitated. It took a while to make up his mind, and his voice trembled a little: "There's nothing strange about it. ”

After speaking. glanced at the official: "Everything was business as usual before the deceased." "There was no quarrel with anyone, and nothing else happened.

The official obviously noticed the hesitation of Master Xu Si when he answered this question. The answer to Master Xu Si is naturally a hundred unbelief. But I just received the money from Master Xu Si, and I have seen a lot of this kind of thing, and the official did not say anything to embarrass Master Xu Si. He sketched a few words on the yellowed rice paper, then put away the rice paper and brush and put them in his arms, and watched Xu Si tear up Caiyue's deed of sale, and then said goodbye to Xu Si with a smile and left.

Master Xu Si sighed, took the silver and asked his subordinates to go to the coffin shop to buy a ready-made thin coffin, and then they packed Caiyue's body and dragged it out of the city for burial.

Since the corpse can't find anything, Master Xu Si didn't plan to let Xu Qirong see it again, so as not to be sad and sad when he saw it.

Xu Qirong didn't sleep well all night, Yu Xia came back after sending Mrs. Ye back to clean up and wash Xu Qirong, and said some comforting words softly. It's Qiu Nong, who is much sadder than Xu Qirong. Qiu Nong felt that if he didn't propose to let Caiyue pay attention to the whereabouts of the eldest master and the fourth miss, Caiyue would not end up like this. Xu Qirong saw it in his eyes, but he also blamed himself, where could he figure out how to persuade Qiu Nong.

On the morning of the second day, Xu Qirong was still a little confused, and drank a small half bowl of glutinous rice porridge without swallowing, only to know that Xu Si had asked people to collect the moon into the soil overnight.

Xu Qirong could still guess a few points about Master Xu Si's thoughts, and he was a little moved, a little helpless, and a little regretful. She thought that she would be able to send Caiyue on her last trip.

There was a hatred for Master Xu in his heart. She hated many people in her previous life, but in this life, Master Xu was the first person she hated.

There have been a lot of things that have happened in the past two days, Xu Qirong was about to wait for Yi Pingzhi to come and take a few days off, but he received a letter from Yi Pingzhi, which said that he had something important to return to Jiangzhou and temporarily resigned from the post of Xixi, and the return date was undecided.

Xu Qirong was stunned, and had some guesses in his heart, could it be that something happened to the Yi family? She didn't expect that Ye Lin had been abducted to the Xu family by her, and Hua Weijing still had to deal with the Yi family.

Thinking about it like this, I can't help but worry about it again. In her previous life, Yi Yizhi saved her life, but she was dragged to death in front of the broken temple, and after her death, she may ruin her reputation for a lifetime, how can she watch Yi Yizhi fall into danger in this life?

At that moment, he wrote down the actions of the Hua family and the fact that the Hua family might be the prince of the East Palace behind the letter, and asked people to send it to Yi Pingzhi. Yi Pingzhi is a smart person, and when he sees that the letter is on guard, it will not be too miserable.

Xu Qijin put the unembroidered purse and didn't care, he came to Fengbo Building to see Xu Qirong several times, Yu Xia had a lot of things to take care of, and he was busy at hand, Qiu Nong greeted Xu Qijin with spirit. Seeing that the three masters and servants were not in a good state, Xu Qijin felt sorry for his sister and was in no hurry to ask about the ins and outs of the matter, so he had to explain it from time to time.

Seeing that Xu Qijin didn't ask, Xu Qirong also breathed a sigh of relief.

The day when the Du family will send the dowry gift to the door is getting closer and closer, and Xu Qijin actually has a lot of things to do, and Xu Qirong doesn't want her to be involved. What's more, this matter may be related to his father's life experience, and Xu Qijin is involved, and it doesn't help much.

Caiyue has only been gone for two days, and when Xu Qirong saw Master Xu, his eyes seemed to be eager to pounce and eat his meat. I don't know if it's for Cai Yue, but as soon as Cai Yue came out, Xu Qirong completely understood the nature of Master Xu, she thought she was just a brother with little affection, but now she knew that he was so vicious.

Fortunately, whether it is Yu Xia or Qiu Nong, they are all born with a bit of a tiger's back, and in front of the delicate Xu Qirong, no one can notice what Xu Qirong is thinking.

The person who threatens Master Xu with his life experience behind his back is nine times out of ten he is Master Xu. In the past two days, Xu Qirong couldn't help but guess like this.

And Caiyue's death also made Princess Pingtai aware of the things in the house, but, no matter what, the palms and backs of her hands were full of meat, so Princess Pingtai was silent and began to worship the Buddha all day long.

If it is someone else who has to deal with it, Xu Qirong can still play a scoundrel with Princess Pingtai, but now it is Princess Pingtai's eldest son who has to deal with it, Princess Pingtai can turn a blind eye and don't care about anything, Xu Qirong already feels very lucky. In particular, thinking of his next plans, Xu Qirong felt a faint sense of guilt towards Princess Pingtai in his heart.

In the past two days, Master Xu Si received two more letters, one was from the hand of that anonymous person, and the other was signed up, and the payment was also stamped with a private seal, which was a letter written by Liang Wenjing to Master Xu Si.

Xu Qirong asked for both letters and looked at them carefully. Because of Caiyue's death, Xu Qirong was a little depressed in the past two days, and when Xu Si saw it in his eyes, he was so distressed that he couldn't bear to refuse Xu Qirong's various requests.

The anonymous letter was nothing more than a coercion and temptation to Master Xu Si, Xu Qirong sneered in his heart, and he was almost sure that the person was coming for the money in her and her sister's hands. Xu Qijin will be married in more than a year, and after the wedding, it will be the day of marriage, and the person is probably afraid that it will be too late to delay any longer.

What made Xu Qirong feel like he was struck by lightning was Liang Wenjing's letter.

Liang Wenjing's letter was written in a somewhat obscure manner, and Xu Qirong read it several times before he understood what he was writing. At the end of such an obscure letter, he also specially reminded Master Xu Si to remember to burn it in time after reading the letter.

The gist of the letter is, I know that you have encountered some trouble these days, and the heavens will descend on the Si people, you don't have to be bothered, your identity is destined to be extraordinary in the future, and the saints are so wise and martial today, this world, in the end, should belong to Mingjun, and we will be ruined for this.

Master Xu Si saw it in a fog, and felt that this Lord Liang was really old-fashioned and pedantic, and he had to praise the current saint when he wrote a letter. If Xu Qirong hadn't lived longer, he would probably think so.

However, the fact is that in the previous life, this Liang Wenjing and that Duan Xu were the two people who were the most enthusiastic about the rebellion of Master Xu Si. (To be continued......)
