Drunk during the day, he woke up on the moon, Yu Shu opened his eyes, covered his forehead and groaned, he didn't think that this ancient liquor was not tasteful, and the stamina of sweet wine would be so great.

"Sister, you're awake." Yu Xiaoxiu sat at the table reading a book, and turned his head to look at the bed as soon as he heard the movement.

"Hmm," Yu Shu rubbed the back of his neck and sat up, and said in a hoarse voice, "What time is it?" ”

"It's just over time, are you hungry? I'll go get you some sweet soup. ”

"No, pour a glass of water." Yu Shu's throat was sticky and he just wanted to drink water.

"Oh," Yu Xiaoxiu brought the water cup to the bed, and sat down next to Yu Shu, looking at her without blinking, secretly smiling.

"What do you think I'm doing?" Yu Shu wiped his mouth and lay back with his back against the head of the bed.

"Don't you remember?"

Yu Shu's eyelids jumped, some pictures flashed in his mind, his old face was slightly red, but he pretended to be stupid and said, "What do you remember?" ”

Yu Xiaoxiu couldn't help but smile: "When you came back drunk in the afternoon, you just pulled Brother Jing to teach you to paint, and he couldn't speak, where did he teach you, so you took ink and scribbled on his clothes, painted him in black and black, and dragged his sleeves and refused to let go, Brother Jing had no choice but to take off his coat and give it to you, so you were willing to let him go." ”

"Ahem, huh?" Yu Shu coughed dryly twice, and stuffed the empty cup to Yu Xiaoxiu to hide his embarrassment, "Go to the kitchen and serve me a bowl of soup." ”

She is not a person who drinks the past, of course she remembers the events of the day, she drank two more glasses with Xia Mingming, and when she came back and saw Jingchen painting, she chanted and asked him to paint a picture for herself, but Jingchen painted well, she looked good, so she was crazy and insisted that he teach herself, and she scribbled on him, Jingchen was also easy to bully. Let her mess with him.

Pinching the bridge of his nose in frustration, Yu Shu lifted the quilt and got out of bed and put on his clothes. wanted to apologize to Jingchen, walked to the door, and retreated.

Forget it. Such a humiliating thing, just pretend you can't remember. Otherwise, she would have to hold her head up in front of Jingchen for two or three days.

Yu Xiaoxiu came back from the kitchen with soup, and when he saw that Yu Shu's face was slightly better, he tried to put on a straight face and taught her:

"Sister, it's not me nagging about you, you're a young girl's house, and you came back drunk outside in broad daylight. What do you look like, don't do it next time. ”

Yu Shu saw that he was pretending to be old, and he was amused in his heart, and he didn't dismantle his platform, but nodded obediently:

"I know the way, once in a while is harmless, and I don't take it as an example."

***

Got drunk yesterday, but got up in good spirits the next day, in order to avoid seeing Jingchen at breakfast, Yu Shu deliberately got up early and went out.

It's still early in the morning. There were not many pedestrians on the street, so Yu Shu set up a hexagram stall, so he took the book out of the drawer and looked at it, unintentionally turning to a page. Floated down a note and fell at her feet, picked it up and looked at it, the birth date on it was complete, she recalled it, and remembered that this was written to her by Xia Mingming yesterday, Xia Jiangying's eight characters.

There were no guests left and right at this time, so Yu Shu took a pen and paper and calculated it against the law of disaster according to this note.

After a cup of tea, Yu Shu made a "tsk" sound, looked at the recent numbers listed on the paper, bit the tip of the pen uncertainly, tore and replaced a clean white paper in his hand, and counted it again, the result was the same as Fang Cai, indicating that her calculation was correct, Xia Jiang's profit and disaster was a bloody disaster in the present day.

"Is that today?"

When he knew the disaster, Yu Shu thought about it and felt that it would be better to go to Xia Mingming, so he put away the unopened hexagram stall, temporarily stored it in Sun Ji Tavern, and rented a carriage to the north of the city at the crossroads.

When she found the street of the Taishi Library, before she walked to the door, she found that today was different, and she saw a lot of people gathered on the street at the entrance of the Library, with cars and horses, and when she got closer, she was surprised to see that in front of the two shabby small yellow doors, there was an official guard with a knife on his waist.

Yu Shu had seen an official in the same official service when he was gambling in Chunxianglou, so he knew that this was the same yamen, and he secretly felt bad, so he went forward to inquire.

There were a lot of people parked on the side of the road who came out to watch the excitement of the nearby teahouses and restaurants, Yu Shu found one casually, and curiously pointed to the side of the library and asked, "This brother, what's going on inside?" Why did you get on an official errand? ”

"Shh," the man covered his mouth with one hand, turned his head sideways and whispered to Yu Shu: "It is said that there was a murder last night." ”

Murder? Yu Shu's eyelids jumped, and he also lowered his voice, and said in disbelief: "It's really fake?" ”

The man Nunu mouthed and motioned to Yu Shu to go to the official who guarded the door, "Didn't you see someone coming from Dali Temple, if this is not a murder case, how can it alarm them." ”

Yu Shu inhaled, and a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart, I was afraid that the person who encountered the accident was Xia Mingming's fourth sister, but it was clear that it didn't rain last night, could it be someone else?

Fengyuan Inn is in front, Yu Shu decided to go to Xia Mingming first, as soon as she walked away, there were two sedan chairs stopped in front of the gate of the library, someone stepped forward to open the curtain, two people came down from the sedan chair, two people came down from the sedan chair, with a solemn face, wearing an official uniform and a shirt, wearing a black veil on his head, a young man, a middle-aged man.

"Lord Chu, Lord Xue."

Xue Rui nodded to the guards in front of the door, signaling the Dali Temple Zheng Chu Yufang who came with him to go first, and the two entered the Taishi Library, walked through the garden verandah, and went directly to the women's pavilion by the mirror lake.

As soon as they entered the garden, some of the subordinates came forward to report to them, and Xue Chu and the others listened to it, their expressions became more and more serious, and after asking a few more questions, they asked the subordinates to lead them to the door of a row of houses in the east.

The location of the crime was in the second room in the east, Xue Rui and Chu Yufang went in to take a look, the murdered body was still docked on the bed and did not move, a smell of blood made the two frown, and stepped forward to lift the white cloth to take a look, but when they saw the tragic scene, they all looked sideways and avoided it.

Chu Yufang stayed in the house to check, Xue Rui withdrew from the room, stood at the door and looked at the environment in the garden, and swept to the back of a female student sitting on the side of the corridor not far away, frowning and asking the officials beside him:

"Who is that person, didn't you order you to gather all the people in the women's hall elsewhere first, why are there still people left?"

"Back to my lord, that young lady was the first person to find the body, and my subordinates thought that the adults would have something to ask, so they asked her to stay."

Xue Rui nodded, didn't blame him anymore, and stepped forward alone, intending to ask the female student.

"This young lady."

Xue Rui stopped a few steps away from the female student, saluted, and saw the other party turn around to reveal a slightly pale face, and couldn't help but see that he had been traveling for a long time, and he had seen many women of all kinds, but it was rare to see such a posture in front of him.

It's not that she looks so beautiful, but those starry eyes are really moving.

Putting away the surprise of that moment, Xue Rui straightened his expression, and was about to ask about official affairs, when he saw the female student look surprised when he saw him, stood up and greeted:

"Master Xue, don't come unharmed."

Xue Rui heard her tone and said suspiciously: "Do you recognize this official?" ”

The other party lowered his head and said softly: "Xue Gongzi is a noble person, we have met once in Yiyang City. ”

After she said this, Xue Rui couldn't remember: "You are Miss Ji?" ”

It turned out to be Ji Xingxuan of the Ji family, who had a relationship in Yiyang City a few months ago, but when he saw her covered with a veil, he thought about it in his heart, so he didn't look carefully, and he didn't want to meet him here today.

"It's the little girl." Ji Xingxuan raised his head and smiled at him weakly, a wave of dizziness hit, his steps were unsteady, and he fell forward.

Seeing this, Xue Rui strode forward, supported her arm with one hand, and only after she stood firm did he let go of her overly slender arm and said "offended".

Ji Xingxuan held his forehead and shook his head: "Thank you." ”

Xue Rui looked at her haggard complexion, thinking of the bloody appearance of the corpse he saw in the house just now, and he knew it in his heart, so he pointed to the side of the hall:

"Let's go inside and sit down first."

"Hmm."

***

It is said that Yu Shu went to the Fengyuan Inn, asked the shopkeeper downstairs, found the room where Xia Mingming lived on the second floor, knocked on the door for a long time, and then heard her respond:

"Who?"

"It's me."

"Ah Shu?" Xia Mingming opened the door, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and yawned, "How did you find here?" ”

Yu Shu looked at her appearance of just waking up, and said that she didn't know that something had happened in the Taishi Library, so she squeezed her into the door and urged: "Hurry up and change your clothes and go out with me, there is an accident in the Taishi Library." ”

"Huh?" Xia Mingming came to his senses in an instant, and grabbed Yu Shu in a panic, "Something's wrong?" What's going on? ”

"I don't know what to do, I heard that there was a murder."

Xia Mingming "chuckled" in his heart, shook his head and said to himself: "It won't be my fourth sister, it didn't rain last night, and the two of us were still eating together in the evening, and I made an appointment that she would take me into the Taishi Academy for a visit today." ”

She was so comforted that her expression was confused, Yu Shu pulled the clothes at the end of the bed and put them on her, while comforting: "Don't panic first, you can know the Tao later." ”

Xia Mingming's mind was a little steady, and he hurriedly dressed up, so he went out of the inn with Yu Shu, and hurriedly came to the door of Taishi Library, wanting to enter, but was stopped by the official who guarded it:

"Stand still, no one is allowed to enter and leave this place."

Xia Mingming said: "I'm here to find someone, my sister is studying here, please send my eldest brother to be accommodating, let me in." ”

The official of this Dali Temple is iron-faced, no matter how Xia Mingming begged, he shook his head: "Wait, you can't enter now." ”

Xia Mingming cast a look at Yu Shu for help, the latter hesitated forward, waved his hand and whispered: "It's okay to send the eldest brother to run in and help us find someone, it's the young lady of the Xia Jiang family, Xia Jiangying." ”

When the expressionless official heard this, his expression changed, he glanced at each other, and the one on the left asked Xia Mingming:

"Who are you Xia Jiangying?"

"I'm her sister," Xia Mingming blurted out despite the men's clothes on her body.

The two officials in front of the door whispered a few words, and the one on the left nodded to Xia Mingming:

"Come with me."

Seeing their reaction, Xia Mingming didn't feel careless, Yu Shu's heart sank hard, and he could almost expect that this accident was Xia Jiangying. (
