Li Xinkui's death was a bit tragic.

The wound was on the head, and he was suddenly attacked by a heavy object, and the back of his head collapsed, Lian Sheng thought that the attacker was a man, and the women of this era excluded people like Xu Yan who knew martial arts, and ordinary people would not have this strength.

"I agree with the master's statement, ordinary women don't have such strength." Xu Yan next to her also said.

When I went out from the Ministry of Rites, I met Xu Yan who came to find Liansheng, so I took her out with me.

During this period, Yu Shizhao didn't say a word to Xu Yan at all, with a straight face all the way, Xu Yan's eyes slipped at Yu Shizhao, and Lala Liansheng asked in a low voice: "His Royal Highness seems to be very angry with me." ”

That's of course. Yu Shizhao is a person who is extremely protective of his shortcomings and will be retributed, your family stopped Wang Heng from seeing you, and said that about the Wang family, he managed to get rid of the Empress Dowager Xu, and made the Xu family disgraced.

But Liansheng couldn't say anything, so he could only pat the back of Xu Yan's hand and say, "Don't think about it, you have to look forward." ”

Xu Yan had something in her heart, and she also knew that Yu Shizhao was very prejudiced against herself now, and she was holding back enough strength to behave well in front of Liansheng, so she was not dirty at all, lying on the ground to observe the wound on the back of Li Xinkui's head, and shouted in surprise: "Master, look, there is something here!" ”

She gently pinched a small white thing from Li Xinkui's wound, and despite the fact that it was still stained with blood, she spread it in the palm of her hand to show Liansheng.

This little white piece is very small, white particles the size of a grain of rice, what is this?

Yu Shizhao glanced at the side: "Broken particles on the jade." ”

He saw too many rich and noble objects, and his eyes were vicious. You can see it at a glance.

Xu Yan nodded vigorously when she heard this: "Yes, yes, when His Highness said this, I look like a little bit of Hetian mutton fat jade powder, is it ...... Was he knocked out of the head with mutton fat jade? ”

How can a piece of jade smash people's heads, and it's not easy to hold it. Lian Sheng stared at the little white shard of mutton fat jade, unable to figure out what it was.

"What do you think the murder weapon should look like?" Yu Shizhao saw her eyebrows frowning slightly, and knew that she must be meditating, so he asked appropriately.

"It should be a long thing so that it can be easily held in your hand. It can also be used for maximum effectiveness when hitting. These jade rings are inconvenient to hold in your hands, and it is impossible to beat people like this. ”

"Where's a chunk of jade?" Xu Yan interjected on the side.

"You go out with a large piece of jade? I don't understand, tell people that I'm here to beat you in the head and kill you? ”

Yu Shizhao teased.

Xu Yan stuck out her tongue and was silent.

Yu Shizhao suddenly said: "It's Yu Ruyi." It was a jade ruyi that killed people. ”

That's right! Xu Yan couldn't help but shout along: "Yes." Right. It must be Yu Ruyi, the size of this wound is also in line with the shape of Ruyi's cloud head, but who would carry Yu Ruyi with him? ”

Oh, yes. No one will go out to hold a big jade, and naturally few people will go out with a jade ruyi.

The Ruyi shape is made of moire and ganoderma lucidum made into a head and a long handle. The original 'Ruyi' evolved from the ancient wat and scratching stick, when people used it to scratch the itchy places that could not be taken care of, but as people mean, hence the name "Ruyi". "Ruyi" is a special product in the jade carving, and it is a traditional mascot in our country. Since the Ming Dynasty, it is generally used as a mascot for display, and no one will go out with a stalk of mutton fat jade Ruyi.

"Under what circumstances, the murderer can carry a jade Ruyi, and it won't make Li Xinkui suspicious?"

Lian Sheng looked at Yu Shizhao.

Li Xinkui is a tall and powerful person, but there are no traces of a fight at the scene, the murderer was hit with one blow, and the force used is very large, and the deceased Li Xinkui is completely defenseless.

"If the deceased believed that the wishful thinking was given to him, such a situation should be possible." Yu Shizhao seems to have studied human nature very much during his time as a Jinyiwei.

Lian Sheng thought of this and said, "The murderer made Li Xinkui believe that Yu Ruyi was given to him. But Li Xinkui is about to go to Pucheng to take up his post, and it is very inconvenient to carry a jade ruyi as a mascot on the road, why would this murderer give him this thing, and he can still call him Li Xinkui is not strange at all, and he is not defenseless at all? ”

This is indeed a problem.

The gift of the person who is about to go out is generally the way forward, that is, the road fare, the road fee, the ancient superiors, relatives and friends want to travel far away, as a subordinate or relatives and friends, give him a sum of money to spend on the journey. What kind of person would give it away with such a big wish, and it would be strange to make the person being sent feel at ease?

Xu Yan's eyes kept rolling, she suddenly thought that the Xu family had been deprived of her title, and there was a lot of trouble in each room to divide the family, so she secretly glanced at Yu Shizhao and said: "I thought about it, it may be that the person who asked him to meet took this jade Ruyi to pay off the debt, and said that it was inconvenient to exchange money or something." ”

"What do you mean?" Liansheng didn't understand.

Xu Yan quietly looked at Yu Shizhao, but was silent.

Liansheng said: "It's okay, even if you think of something, just say it, it's okay if it's wrong, let's discuss the case." ”

"That's right, our family has been breaking up recently."

Sure enough, when it came to this, Yu Shizhao's bright eyes were projected with a swish, and Xu Yan could only stubbornly continue: "Each room is making trouble and asking for silver, but there is not so much cash in our house, and my mother has no choice, so she will take out all the registered utensils in the house and distribute them according to their value." Some houses get a few boxes of such utensils, which is also money. I think that if the murderer had also brought some utensils with him, then the deceased would not have suspected it at all, because the deceased probably knew very well that the murderer could not make up so much money. ”

"That is to say, there is likely to be a transaction between the murderer and the deceased here, and there is still a lot of silver involved, and a simple delivery instrument, one hundred and eighty taels of silver should not need to carry any utensils to pay off the debt." Yu Shizhao nodded and continued: "Xu Yan is right, I think this is the purpose of the murderer and Li Xinkui's appointment here." ”

Xu Yan heard a little appreciation in Yu Shizhao's tone, and she was extremely happy in her heart, and couldn't help clenching her fists lightly, saying to herself that if you work hard, you must make others look up to our family.

During this time, Yu Shizhao hit the Xu family very embarrassed, Xu Yan also woke up from the dream of the eldest lady of the Cao Guo Mansion, she found for the first time that she was proud of the family background was so vulnerable, she silently made up her mind, from now on, she must be like Liansheng, not relying on the family background, completely relying on personal skills to struggle, so as to stand up upright.

At this time, Jinyiwei stepped forward to lift Li Xinkui up, and one of the Jinyiwei shouted: "Hey, he seems to have something in his hand." ”

Not long after Li Xinkui died, he didn't stiffen, and easily broke his hand, only to see that there were two red heart-shaped beads inside.

"This is Acacia!"

Liansheng said excitedly.

Acacia seeds, some are all-red small heart-shaped beans, some have a small black dot underneath, Li Xinkui's hand is completely red, look closely, a bead still has a little red silk thread.

"Look around here, and you'll definitely find the same acacia!"

Liansheng expected that the murderer took advantage of Li Xinkui's unpreparedness and hit him on the back of the head with Yu Ruyu, and hit him with one blow, Li Xinkui fell, but he did not die immediately, maybe the murderer wanted to search for something from him, maybe he just leaned over to check whether Li Xinkui was dead, Li Xinkui suddenly reached out and grabbed a string of acacia seeds (that string may be his own or may be the murderer's), and the string of acacia seeds was broken in the tear, and the murderer hurriedly picked it up, and did not notice that Li Xinkui was still holding two in his hand in a panic.

Jin Yiwei searched carefully near the corpse, but did not find the red acacia.

Xu Yan was not afraid of getting dirty, so she simply knelt in the grass, filtering grass by grass, and suddenly her fingertips touched a cold thing, she hurriedly picked it up, it turned out to be a clear green tourmaline bead with some words on it.

"Master, I found a bead."

She proudly handed the tourmaline beads to Liansheng, who compared them with the red beans in his hand, and the two were as if they were the size.

"This should be a match bead with Acacia." She looked into the sunlight and saw a very slender Xiao character engraved on the tourmaline beads.

"Xiao!"

Liansheng suddenly thought of what Li Xinkui said to Xiao Zihui in the Ministry of Rites that day: "Don't come to harm." ”

"What does the word Xiao mean?" Yu Shizhao picked up this string of acacia seeds and looked at it carefully.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be Xiao Zihui's thing."

Siu Zihui! Hearing this name, Xu Yan's pupils couldn't help but shrink: The Xu family has fallen to this point now, all thanks to Xiao Zihui.

"Xiao Hou's object?" Yu Shizhao shook his head: "How could he know Li Xinkui?" ”

"Xiao Zihui once inspected Guanzhong Academy, maybe he not only knows Li Xinkui, but also knows Fang Yunsheng and Zheng Xun?" Liansheng held the three beads tightly and said: "This bead is obviously more expensive than Acacia, but it is used to make beads, which shows that this broken Acacia must have a very important role, we need to ask Marquis Xiao." (To be continued......)

PS: Acacia is really good-looking, and I also wore a big string and sent my daughter to play. And then I'm also very cheesy with a few jasper beads, I just think the red and green are really festive. My bad taste haha.
