Chapter 119: The Jade Seal Case (3) Spit Lotus Flowers? )

The officials carried the corpse away, and Liansheng bought some food and went home with the basket. Fang Sheng and Ye Sheng had finished washing up and were sitting in the courtyard reading a book.

In this era, honeycomb coal has not yet been invented, Shanxi and northern Shaanxi and other places where coal is produced, the common people are accustomed to using coal, and some people in the capital will use coal for heating in winter, and they are still firewood every day. Liansheng lit a fire, washed millet, made millet porridge, steamed a few sweet potatoes and eggs, blanched the bean sprouts, added some garlic sprouts and coriander vinegar to mix the oil and splash it cold, and then mixed a malan head, and just about to beckon the Fangsheng brothers to eat, he heard someone knock on the door. Fang Sheng put down the book and went to open the door, only to see Xu Yan standing at the door smiling, and behind her was Wang Heng, who she hadn't seen for a long time.

"Why did you two come together?" Liansheng was also surprised.

"Who's coming with him? I ran into it halfway, hey, I said Wang Heng, you are really cheeky when you come to eat in the morning. ”

Xu Yan pouted.

Wang Heng nodded: "Indeed, when I came to eat in the morning, my face was really thick." ”

"Hmph, what did I say?"

Xu Yan slipped into the kitchen proudly: "What to eat." Suddenly, she figured it out in a blink of an eye, and poked her head out and asked, "Wang Heng, what do you mean by this?" ”

Wang Heng didn't look at him, sat on the stone bench and chatted with Brother Fangsheng.

"He said I was cheeky." Xu Yan sued Liansheng.

"Well, he's not right."

"Yes, I knew that Master must help me."

"Of course, why don't you find a beautiful cheeky girl like us Xu Yan."

Xu Yanmei nodded and went out with sweet potatoes. Turning his head and thinking, "Master, you tease me too!" ”

"Qing porridge and side dishes, you can't compare with the two of you, let's deal with it."

Lian Sheng didn't expect these two to come to the door early in the morning.

"There is a big table of all kinds of fruits and snacks for breakfast at home, but in fact, there are only a few things I want to eat."

Wang Heng picked up the sweet potato and kept blowing: "That's good, when I was a child, I thought that baked sweet potatoes were the best thing in the world." ”

"Soy milk! Tofu brain, fruit! ”

"Japonica rice porridge is sold for two bowls, you can take a look at the size of the baked cake......" There was a shout outside the door. Xu Yan couldn't sit still, got up and said, "I'll go buy a few baked cakes." ”

She has been clothed and fed since she was a child. The first time I saw sweet potatoes for breakfast. It's hard to swallow. Xu Yan rushed over, the courtyard gate was thrown by her and creaked, Wang Heng shook his head and sighed: "It's still hairy." ”

Rensheng smiled. It's a really good life. A quiet courtyard with brothers and friends sitting around. Although it is coarse tea and light rice, it makes people feel at ease and comfortable.

Everyone peels sweet potatoes. Wang Heng had already eaten half of a large sweet potato. The mouth is still hot and said that it is hot.

Xu Yan rushed in again, looked at Liansheng with wide eyes and said, "My brother was captured by Shuntianfu!" As he spoke, two strings of tears fell.

What's going on? Lian Sheng got up and pulled her to sit down: "You speak slowly, where did you hear it?" Didn't you go buy yakiniku? ”

"Yes. I heard from them that a man named Yueru had died, and my brother was suspicious that they were going to my house to arrest my brother. ”

"That is, no one has been arrested yet? Just going soon? Wang Heng got up and asked.

"Yes......" Xu Yan was in tears, she and Xu Qi were brothers and sisters of the same mother and had a good relationship, and when she heard that her brother was going to be taken to Shuntian Mansion, she was at a loss.

"Don't worry, we'll go to Shuntianfu with you later, as long as your brother is innocent, don't worry." Liansheng comforted her softly.

"Let's go together." Wang Heng also said.

In the prison in Shuntian Mansion, everyone saw Xu Qi. This is a young man in his twenties, from a noble background, who has followed the path of the army, who is skilled in soldiers and horses, and who is full of heroism, and sitting cross-legged on the haystack in a dark prison does not affect his spirit. When he saw his sister coming over with Wang Heng, he was obviously stunned.

"Brother, this is my master, I told you."

"Brother Xu, hello." Liansheng nodded in greeting.

"Gu Experience, Lord Wang, I don't know why Shuntianfu arrested me."

Xu Qi stood up and sighed: "Is it because I took Yueru yesterday?" ”

"What was the situation yesterday, Brother Xu, please be specific."

"Yesterday we were drinking in the fairy building, someone mentioned yì said that he wanted to listen to Yueru singing, I sent someone to Mingyue Pavilion to pick her up, at the end I said to send someone to send her back, she said that she also had to go shopping, who would have thought that she didn't go back, the body was found this morning, I was the last person to see her, and I also sent someone to pick her up. This is jumping into the Yellow River and can't wash it. ”

Xu Qi looked depressed at this time: "Why do I have to take her to sing music, I regret dying." ”

It stands to reason that the death of a famous prostitute will not stir up the crowd like this, the reason is that this month is so famous that the emperor once asked her to serve in the palace. After Liansheng made up the relevant background information of Yueru on the road, he thought that she should be the role of Master Li, from the literati and ink writers, to the dignitaries and nobles, all bowed down under her pomegranate skirt, so her death was particularly eye-catching, and Xu Qicai was so unlucky that he was caught in Shuntianfu at the first time.

"If you left by yourself after drinking, what about you? Why did you go? ”

Xu Qi glanced at Xu Yan, drooped his head and said, "It's not interesting to go back if I want to, so ...... I went to the other red girl in Mingyue Pavilion. ”

"That's good, Wanmei can testify."

"But......" Xu Qi raised his head helplessly: "What the hell, Wanmei is also dead!" Died in his own room, bleeding from the seven orifices, and heard that it could be poisoning! ”

Dizzy! It turned out that this was the case, Lian Sheng understood why this Xu Dagongzi was arrested in Shuntian Mansion early in the morning, and his suspicious eyes were shining.

If Yueru found it in the river, it can't be ruled out that she lost her foot and drowned, then Mei's death that night was an obvious murder, and it happened that both of them had something to do with Xu Qi, and it was simply unreasonable for Shuntianfu not to arrest him.

Xu Yan was so angry that she only stomped her feet: "You! You mix with these women every day, how many times have I said you, you have to say that you are acting on the spot, and you don't want to marry and go home, it's just a joke, it's okay now, get involved in a life lawsuit, you know that your father is a good man, our Cao Guogong Mansion is the most inconspicuous one in Xungui, how can you add fuel to the fire again, do you think your aunt and grandmother's life in the palace is too comfortable, don't you? ”

Hearing this, Wang Heng coughed embarrassedly, his aunt Wang Guifei and Empress Dowager Xu have always been at odds, and Xu Yan's words are a bit like scolding the bald man in front of the monk.

Xu Yan glanced at him: "Oh, I didn't say you don't have to worry about you." Then he snorted again: "Hmph, it's about the same anyway, your Wang family ......"

"Xu Yan, this is the prison of Shuntianfu, don't say that you don't have to say it!"

Liansheng hurriedly scolded her to stop.

Xu Yan looked around and stuck out her tongue: "Master, I was wrong about me." ”

Yes, the wall has ears, this time Xu Qi is suspected of murder, Xu Yan mutters behind his back, if it is reported, the emperor and the concubine will have an opinion on the Xu family again.

Xu Yan is straightforward and fast-hearted.

"Xu Qi, you are Xu Yan's own brother, my own brother was also unjustly imprisoned, I understand Xu Yan's feelings. You tell us the truth, didn't you do it? Does it have anything to do with you? ”

"I swear to God, I definitely didn't do it. If it mattered, I was the last person to see them. ”

"Okay, since you say so, I will definitely try my best to help you with Xu Yan."

Wang Heng glanced at Xu Qi and said, "Brother Xu, don't be impatient, it's also a good thing to be sober here." ”

Liansheng came to the room, and he was examining two fresh corpses.

Xu Yan was scared and stood outside the door and didn't dare to go in. Wang Heng walked in, looked at the two beauties lying on the wooden table, and couldn't help sighing: "Red face and dry bones, but in an instant." ”

He didn't raise his head, and said while inspecting Yueru's corpse: "I'm used to seeing this red face and dry bones, people die like lights going out, don't care what it is when you're alive, it's a bunch of stinky skins when you die, Yueru girl, you're right." ”

"Ahh

Suddenly, a muffled voice came from Yueru's throat.

Lian Sheng's hairs stood up, Wang Heng was also startled, took a step back, and his voice trembled: "Yes...... What the...... Sound. ”

"Ahh

Another low sound.

"Hell!"

He threw down his ruler and fled with a bang.

"Isn't she dead?" Lian Sheng hesitated, walked over to Yueru's corpse, and suddenly reached out to lift her neck.

"What are you doing here......

Wang Heng hurriedly spoke to stop him, but he swallowed it immediately before he finished his words, because he saw that Yueru's neck was raised, and after his mouth opened, a small frog popped out of his mouth, and then a small goldfish jumped out! (To be continued......)
