Xue Rui saw Yu Shu standing at the door, and thought for a while that he was dazzled.

How did she get here?

"Big brother," Yu Shu rushed all night, but he was in good spirits, and he looked at Xue Rui at the door, and saw at a glance that he hadn't rested well in the past few days.

So I couldn't help but tease: "You got up really early." ”

Xue Rui couldn't cry or laugh, and reprimanded Baode: "I'll let you go back to deliver the letter, it's good for you to bring someone over to me directly." ”

Baode was very aggrieved and helpless, this person insisted on coming over, what did it matter to him.

"Don't blame him, I have to come." Yu Shu walked to the table, put down the divination box, pointed to Baode with one hand, and said to Xue Rui:

"This kid has a really tight mouth, no matter how much I ask, he won't tell me, what's going on?"

Baode scratched his head and looked at Xue Rui.

"Okay, you go out of the city, let someone boil some hot water, and get some food,"

Xue Rui sent others out, closed the door, turned his head to look at Yu Shu, who came to him overnight, thinking that she was worried about herself, and the exhaustion of staying up all night, she disappeared.

The two sat at the table, and Xue Rui told her about the murder that happened in this restaurant not long ago:

"Half a month ago, the saint assigned the imperial historian Zhou Qi to go to Liangguang for a secret visit, and the group passed through here, and stayed in this restaurant, and the next day, the guards found that Zhou Qi died in the room, with a different head and head, missing."

Yu Shu was surprised, no wonder Xue Rui came to Pei County in a hurry, this dead person turned out to be a Qincha!

"The pair of eight characters that my eldest brother gave me. It's the dead Lord Zhou, right? ”

"That's right," Xue Rui nodded, "I have doubts about the cause of Zhou Qi's death, so I thought of asking you for help to see if I can use your divination skills to help me deduce useful clues." ”

Yu Shu's law of disaster time can infer the time of death of the deceased, the cause of death, and if the deceased is the victim, it can even be counted as the Xiao genus of the murderer.

"I've counted all the way here." Yu Shu stretched out his hand to the divination box. After rummaging for a while, he pulled out a few pieces of paper and sat in the carriage when he came, albeit bumpy. She's still trying to save time. Count the deceased's eight-character week.

She looked down at the scribbled words. Tell Xue Rui the information you calculated and found useful:

"I calculated the misfortune of Mr. Zhou in the past month before his life - on the eighth day of the first month of this month, this person committed a villain, and the root cause of the evil monkey. The ninth day of the first month. Touching the god of the south, it is not appropriate to travel far south. On the 10th, there was a disaster of blood and light, and the bane was Xiao Pig. ”

After that, he looked up at Xue Rui, "Lord Zhou was killed on the 10th of this month, right?" ”

"Hmm," Xue Rui clasped his hands, his thumbs intertwined, and his eyes were full of thought:

"Zhou Qi received the emperor's order on the eighth day of the first month of this month, there are few people in the know, the ninth day of the first month is the day he leaves, and on the tenth day, the person died."

After that, he reached out to ask Yu Shu for a few pieces of paper, "I'll take a look." ”

"I'm too messy, look here," Yu Shu pointed to show him the dates, as for the dense Arabic numerals and operation symbols on the paper, she was not worried that Xue Rui could understand it.

Xue Rui thought for a while and said: "Zhou Qi happened to be on the day of receiving the emperor's order, and he committed a villain, this so-called villain calculation should be behind the murder, and the other party planned to kill not Zhou Qi, but this Qincha who went to Liangguang." It seems that someone in Beijing doesn't want Zhou Qi to go to the Liangguang area to inspect. ”

"That means that the mastermind behind the scenes is this monkey person?" Yu Shu said.

There is a very subtle place in the calamity of divining people with the law of calamity-

If it is a bloody disaster and a quarrel of words, then the perpetrator corresponding to the root cause is the one who directly contacted the victim, such as the case of Zhou Qi, the Xiao pig calculated by Yu Shu must be the murderer.

But if it is calculated that it is the villain who is responsible, then the villain corresponding to the root of the bane is the one who is the one who makes the calculation, and there is no direct contact.

"Xiao Monkey" Xue Rui's gaze precipitated, and after a while, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he sneered:

"That's really calculating."

Yu Shu saw that he looked clear, but he was confused, so he asked curiously: "Who is the eldest brother Zhilu Dao?" ”

Xue Rui looked back at her and said, "I know what is probably going on in the Dao." However, there is one more thing to be confirmed before conclusions can be made. ”

Yu Shu's eyes lit up, "Tell me quickly." ”

At this time, Xue Rui knew in her heart, the pressure of the past few days was gone, it was already dawn outside, the morning light entered the window, she saw the tired red silk in her eyes, and her heart softened, so she said:

"I'll eat breakfast later, you go to sleep first, and I'll talk to you when you're rested."

Yu Shu protested: "You say half of what you say, where can I sleep, no, you have to make it clear to me first." ”

Xue Rui ignored her protests, and while packing up her messy divination box, he said to her in a good voice:

"If you don't sleep, I have to sleep too, for this case, I haven't closed my eyes for three days."

Hearing this, Yu Shu immediately closed his mouth.

Xue Rui smiled, naturally took her hand on the table, and said, "I haven't been in the capital for a while, have you caused trouble?" ”

Yu Shu raised his eyebrows and said: "Don't worry, I'm too in the limelight now, no one dares to provoke me, it's just that people go home every day to send gifts and posts, which is annoying." ”

"Isn't it good for someone to give a gift?" Xue Rui touched her little hand, and she was in a good mood at this moment.

Yu Shu grinned, thinking of the room of good things he had recently received, he couldn't help but want to laugh, but in front of Xue Rui, he still had to pretend:

"Well, if I go home, I have to be sneaky, I have to wait until it gets dark."

Xue Rui knew that she was stingy and obsessed with money, and he didn't expose her, but he hadn't seen her for ten days and half a month, and now listening to her brisk tone and looking at her cunning eyebrows, he felt a little itchy.

"Did you miss me, then?" He changed his tone and asked suddenly.

Yu Shu glanced at him, he had long been used to his cheekiness from time to time, so he asked unhurriedly: "Then do you miss me?" ”

Xue Rui nodded without hesitation: "I think about it." ”

After saying that, he turned sideways, patted his thigh, and said to her:

"Come and sit here and let the big brother hug me."

"How thick can this man's skin be?"

Xue Rui saw that she was motionless, so he squeezed her hand, and his peach blossom eyes hooked people, "What, I'm sorry?" ”

Yu Shu glanced at him, and pulled his hand back, not being tempted, and said resolutely:

"Have you forgotten what I said last time? Your affair with that Miss Rui of the Earl's Court is gone, and I don't think I'm close to you. ”

Hearing this, Xue Rui immediately put away his joking demeanor, did not perfunctory her, and said:

"When this case is investigated, I will go back to Beijing and talk to my grandfather."

Xue Rui had never rejected Xue Lingnan's arrangement head-on before, on the one hand, he didn't want to conflict with the old man, and on the other hand, he wanted to reconcile with Yu Shu, worried that the time would not be right, so that Xue Lingnan would know his thoughts and would block it.

Now there is no such concern, anyway, the relationship between him and Yu Shu will not be on the table for a while, and he can only hide people's eyes, so it will not be a problem for him to refuse to marry the Earl's Court.

Even if Yu Shu didn't say anything, he felt that it was really inappropriate to let the two families misunderstand.

While the two were talking, Boyd knocked on the door outside, bringing hot water and breakfast.

After eating breakfast together, Xue Rui arranged for Yu Shu to live in the empty room opposite him, and sent two more guards to guard the corridor, and he also went back to the room to make up for sleep

I slept until the afternoon, Yu Shu woke up before Xue Rui, the taste of staying up late and rushing was not comfortable, I didn't feel it in the morning, but when I woke up, I felt dizzy and swollen, and I was bored in the room, so I wanted to go out to breathe.

She changed her clothes and walked out of the house, and when she saw that the door of the opposite room was closed, she knew that Xue Rui was still asleep, and she didn't come forward to knock on the door, so she was going downstairs.

The guards standing in the corridor did not stop her, and when they saw her coming downstairs, they divided into a group of people to follow her.

This restaurant is not as grand as the machine building, but the façade is not small, three floors high, a hall in front, up and down the second floor.

Because Xue Rui ordered the local county government to ban it, there were no half guests inside and outside at this time, the door downstairs was closed, Yu Shu walked down from the corner of the stairs, and at a glance, there were all empty tables and chairs.

"Where's the people working in this restaurant?" Yu Shu turned her head and asked the guard who was following her.

"It's all in the backyard, and the adults have orders that they are not allowed to move around casually."

Yu Shu nodded, then picked a place by the window and sat down, pointing to the closed window, "Can it be opened?" I'll look down the street. ”

When she came, it was dark, and she sat in a carriage when she entered the city and crossed the streets, and she didn't know what this Pei County looked like.

The guard didn't hesitate much, and then stepped forward to open the window for her, just because Lord Xue had ordered him in the morning to make it easier for this girl.

As soon as the window was opened, the hall was lit up in front of him, and the noise on the street suddenly hit his face, and the afternoon sun was particularly strong, Yu Shu squinted his eyes for a while before he could see clearly the lively scene in the neighborhood downstairs.

Smelling the smell of snacks wafting upstairs, Yu Shu's stomach growled twice.

"Is the girl hungry?" The guard was a clever man, "You sit here and wait, I'll go back and get you some food." ”

Yu Shu nodded and thanked him.

After the guard left, Yu Shu waited for a while, but she didn't see him come back, she was hungry, so she had to get up and go downstairs.

There was only wine on the counter on the first floor, and there was no food, Yu Shu touched the door of the back hall along the way, and vaguely heard the noisy voice, opened the heavy oilcloth curtain, and saw a backyard in front of him, and saw a blackened door in the east, standing a man with an apron around his waist and a kitchen knife in his hand, pointing at a few guards in front of him, and scolding with a red face:

"Lao Tzu told you to be locked up these days, I give you food and drink every day, I don't have a penny, I can't even get out of the door, tell you, Lao Tzu is gone, you can arrest me and go to prison and kill my head, I have to go out of this door today!" (To be continued......)
