The scene on the boat that day, this summer closed his eyes and stared, carefully remembering the appearance of the man begging for mercy in the bow of the boat.

Thinking about it, she dipped her pen in ink and began to draw on the paper, stroke by stroke, quite seriously.

Lu Yi and Cen Fu were waiting by the side and didn't bother her.

After a long meal, I put down my pen this summer, took a closer look at my paintings, and took back the pen to draw and draw without worry, so I finally got up and said with a long breath: "It's done." ”

Lu Yi walked around to take a look, didn't speak for a long time, and silently touched this summer's head twice.

Seeing this, Cen Fu also walked around, and the moment he saw the painting, he froze: "...... This is, Nakshatra, right? ”

The characters on the paper are drawn quite meticulously, the nose is the nose, the eyes are the eyes, but it is a pity that the nose is crooked and the eyes are slanted, the facial features are not in the right place, and the three courts and five eyes are all messed up.

"Nonsense, how can there be such an ugly yaksha." Lu Yi sighed softly.

"Don't just look at the looks, look at the verve. I think that when painting people, the appearance is secondary, and the key is to convey the spirit. This summer talked eloquently, and after a moment hesitated, "Or, I'll write a few more strokes?" ”

"Don't, I'm afraid of nightmares at night." Lu Yi pulled her up from the chair, relaid a piece of paper, and said, "You come, I'll draw." ”

"You can draw too?" This summer's strange road.

Lu Yi glanced at her helplessly: "At least, it's better than you." Just say it. ”

"This person's face is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with a pair of sheep's eyes that are white, long and short pale yellow beards on the cheeks, and a short nose with a pointed nose," said this summer while looking sideways at Lu Yi's painting, and said in surprise, "You really know how to paint?" It's better than the head drawing. ”

Cen Fu said with a smile on the side: "It's nothing else, when it comes to painters, many painters in the capital are not as good as my eldest son." It's a pity that the eldest prince only paints once when he is in office, and he doesn't see him write at other times. ”

Lu Yi didn't raise his eyes, and said while painting: "It's you big men on the side all day long, and I'm tired of watching it, how can I be interested in painting." ”

This summer approached, and said with a flattering smile: "My lord, after returning to the capital, why don't you have time to practice my pen?" My mother promised to make me new clothes, they must look good. ”

Lu Yi tilted his head to look at her, smiled slightly, did not answer, and turned his head to continue to draw portraits.

"If you don't say anything, I'll just accept you." Look at him this summer.

Lu Yi was still silent, slowly and methodically, and finally put down the pen and asked her, "How is it, does it look like him?" ”

This summer took a look: "It's about fifty percent similar, but the eyes have to be smaller, the eyebrows are sparse, the nose is bigger, and the corners of the mouth are curved downward." ”

Lu Yi nodded, took another piece of paper and redrew it.

Jin Xia watched his focused expression when holding the pen, secretly pulled Cen Fu, and asked quietly: "Is there anything that your eldest son can't do?" ”

Cen Fu said with a smile: "How can I find out the many benefits of the eldest prince now?" ”

“…… My Da Yang can cook, he definitely can't. ”

"The gentleman is far away from cooking, how can the eldest prince learn this."

"Brother, don't tease me, where is there a gentleman in the brocade guard." Seeing Cen Fu frowning this summer, he hurriedly patted him on the shoulder and added, "In this world, it is not easy to be a gentleman to survive." ”

Cen Fu cautiously dodged her hand, glanced at Lu Yi uneasily, and secretly glad that the latter didn't even raise his head.

"It's done, you can take a look." Lu Yi suddenly called this summer.

This summer stepped forward to take a look and said happily: "It's him, it's him!" It's exactly the same, and the signs posted at the head of the city are not as well drawn as you. ”

After the ink was dry, Lu Yi handed the painting to Cen Fu and instructed: "This person is an Oriental, he must have stayed in this coastal area for a long time, you go and check his identity, the sooner the better." ”

Cen Fu put away the painting and was ordered to leave.

"Why did you suddenly remember to check on him?" This summer, I felt strange, and I didn't check it in Yangzhou, but I went to Zhejiang to investigate.

"Ah Rui said that he saw this person on Yan Shifan's boat."

This summer was surprised: "Ah Rui is poisoned by the Oriental, could it be that he was injured?" I didn't expect this person to be so vicious. Could it be that he was avenging the capture of the ship that day? ”

"I'm just worried, it's not just that......" Lu Yi didn't say any more.

"A Rui said, this is a trap, someone wants to harm you, is it Yan Shifan? So does this person have anything to do with Yan Shifan? ”

The more you know about the officialdom, the more danger there is, Lu Yi deeply understands this truth, not to mention that the current situation is unclear, he doesn't want her to get involved too early, so he just said: "I will find out slowly." ”

He said this vaguely, and this summer was surprised, and he looked at him carefully.

"Why, aren't you suspicious of me?" Lu Yi glanced at her and said with a smile.

Just as he was about to speak this summer, Yang Yue knocked on the door and came in with a decanting soup, and Lu Yi instructed him: "You go and see those two girls, let them be cold and hungry, just tell the store, I will pay for all expenses." ”

Although Yang Yue had doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to ask more, and after glancing at this summer, he was ordered to go out.

"Brother, are you planning to send them back tomorrow?" She asked.

"Why send it back?" Lu Yi raised his eyebrows, "Governor Hu is gracious, and his face is not good after all." ”

"You're really going to take it, you...... Don't forget that Ah Rui said that this is a trap, so that you don't have to accept what Hu Zongxian sent. Jinxia frowned, "Isn't it, you really have a crush on those two girls?" Can't afford to send it back? ”

Lu Yi bullied her and said with a smile: "You are jealous now?" ”

"I ...... I didn't. Although he said so in his mouth this summer, he had to admit in his heart that he couldn't match the two girls whether he looked at his face or his figure.

The next moment, she was taken straight into Lu Yi's arms, and his tone was simply satisfied: "Fortunately, you will still be jealous, today I see you screaming as a sister, I thought you didn't take me to heart at all." ”

I earned it this summer, but I didn't break away, and said calmly: "Even if I'm jealous...... Well, you're not going to sneak into their room in the middle of the night, are you? ”

Lu Yi hugged her, buried his head comfortably in her shoulder blades, and couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, even his back trembled with laughter.

"What are you laughing at, did I say it?"

This summer reached out and broke his head.

"People who like to sneak into other people's rooms in the middle of the night seem to be you, not me." He looked up slightly, looked at her and smiled.

"When will I ......" I was only halfway through this summer's words, and I remembered that last time for Zhai Lanye's matter, I sneaked into his room in the middle of the night, so I had to stop.

Lu Yi didn't hesitate and said, "Is your heart empty?" ”

"What kind of weakness of heart, I was serious at that time, and I made it involuntarily in the last resort, helpless, and ...... Those who do big things are not informal! This summer's righteous words are righteous, but his face is red.

"To tell you the truth, you had an intention on me then, didn't you?" Lu Yi teased her.

Jinxia's face flushed, and he pushed him away hard: "How is it possible! …… Brother, you drank too much, hurry up and drink the sobering soup, and rest early. With that, she walked out of the room quickly.

Lu Yi leaned on the table and smiled, secretly relieved in his heart: I finally fooled her tonight, but she is so smart and has a thorough character, I don't know how long it can be delayed.

Early the next morning, I heard that something had happened.

A swarthy coffin was parked less than ten zhang away from the East City Gate, in the middle of the road. After all, it is an obscure object, although it is in the middle of the road, but no one dares to move it by the people who come and go, they all go around it. It wasn't until someone who was careful noticed that the dust near the coffin was soaked with blood and purple and black, that someone rushed to report to the official.

"And then?" This summer took a bite of the three fresh buns and stared at the shopkeeper, "After the coffin is pried open, who is inside?" ”

The shopkeeper wiped his sweat with a sweat towel, for fear of alarming the other objects around him, so he lowered his voice and said: "I heard that it is Xia Zheng, the adopted son of Hu Dudu, who was cut into pieces and is completely invisible. Hu Dudu personally rushed over to transport the coffin back to the mansion, and was asking an experienced funeral master to sew up the body before it could be buried. ”

Chun Yuminhe, who was sitting next to him, had heard this, and his face turned pale with shock.

Lu Yi was silent, this was obviously the revenge of the Japanese Kou, Hu Zongxian beheaded Wang Zhi's father and son, so the Japanese also brutally dismembered his adopted son.

"Cen Fu, you prepare some gift money, and follow me to the Hudu Governor's Mansion." He commanded.

This summer hurriedly said: "I'll go too." ”

Lu Yi shook his head: "You stay." ”

"I'll do an autopsy." Fight for the road this summer.

Chun Yumin turned his head and looked at her in surprise.

"He is in pain of losing his son right now, how can he tolerate us going to the autopsy." Lu Yi told her, "You just stay in the inn, wait for my orders, don't make trouble." ”

This summer, I had no choice but to hang my head and eat the remaining half bowl of blood glutinous porridge in one go. After Lu Yi and Cen Fu left, she took advantage of Cen Shou to feed the horses, and she said to Yang Yue: "Da Yang, let's go outside the city and have a look." ”

Yang Yue guessed her mind as soon as he guessed: "You want to see where the coffin is placed." ”

"You've got to show me, such a big case." I didn't go to see the crime this summer, and I felt uncomfortable, "Those people put down the coffin and ran away, and now they definitely haven't been caught, let's go see if there are any clues." ”

Yang Yue hesitated: "It's not good...... Lord Lu just instructed you to ......"

"Just take a look, I'm fine." Jinxia urged him, "Da Yang, hurry up, there are people coming in and out of this city, and the later you go, the fewer clues you have." ”

Yang Yue has always been helpless with her, so he raised his side and said, "Okay, I'll come back after a look." ”

"You ......" Chun Yumin wanted to stop this summer.

"Don't worry, we'll be back soon."

pulled Yang Yue this summer, and as soon as the two went out, they disappeared.

Cen Shou, who had just fed the horses, returned to the table, only to see Chun Yumin alone, and asked in surprise: "Chun Yu girl, where are they?" ”

Chun Yumin had to tell the truth.

"The little catcher of the six doors, hum, really use yourself as a green onion." Cen Shou shook his head and snorted.
