Chapter 3: Feng Bulu
There are thousands of people living in the realm of Jingshi, who are as insignificant as ants.
But there are also many people with good backgrounds and status, or power behind them.
Among them, those who are flying and domineering are not terrible, and they are walking around when they encounter them. The most hateful thing is: some people have an extraordinary identity, and they have to put on the behavior of ordinary people on weekdays, which makes people unguardable, and they will be offended by accident.
"Therefore, as a fast catcher in the capital, you must be careful when you act, and be careful!" ββThis is what Feng Feng told him on the first day when he was catching fast.
It was with such an experience that Feng Feng had been safe and sound for sixteen years, and finally became the head catcher of the Qingshuifang Yamen, and people who knew him called him 'Feng Bulu'.
'Qingshuifang Yamen' is not 'Qingshuifang Yamen', just because the yamen is opened in Qingshuifang, so the market is used to call it that, in fact, the oil and water are quite thick.
Feng Feng cherished his errand very much, and when he received a report that day, he decided to go there in person as soon as he heard that the case happened in Drift Lane.
Because Snow Lane is the property of the Wang family.
Although the Wang family is just a businessman who sells wine, in these years, which businessman can make a fortune without a backer?
If you ask the Wang family's backer who is the specific person, Feng Feng doesn't know much, and only vaguely hears that the household department and the Five Cities Terracotta Division have people taking care of them. But he knew that the Wang family was about to become a royal family.
At this time, there was a murder in Snow Lane, and Feng Feng became more cautious.
The ugly girl named Huazhi pushed open the courtyard door, but Feng Feng was not in a hurry to enter, and first looked around.
Snow Lane runs from east to west, with the high walls of the Wang family to the south and a row of courtyards to the north.
The south-facing direction of this row of courtyards is blocked by the high courtyard wall of the Wang family, and it looks a little cloudy. The overall environment is not bad, most of the people living in the alley are stewards who work in the Wang family, and a few other households are rented out, and the tenants are mostly decent people.
After seeing it like this, Feng Feng entered the courtyard.
The deceased had a fat head and big ears, but he was dressed as a scholar, and he still had official boots on his feet, which was very troublesome at first sight.
Feng Feng couldn't help but curse in his heart-where is it not good to die, you have to die in my realm.
"I've seen the poor master."
Feng Feng raised his eyes and couldn't help but feel a shake.
Although it was only a glimpse, he could see that the woman looked like a fairy, and it was breathtaking.
With his experience in handling cases, anyone who is involved in such a red face and trouble, there will be extremely difficult people to be involved behind the case.
So he quickly held his breath and turned his head away, not daring to look more.
Seeing a young man in the afterglow, Feng Feng secretly looked at him.
Just looking at the young man's appearance, bearing, and clothing, the case has already come to light in Feng Feng's heart.
It must be which prince and grandson hooked up with someone's beautiful wife and concubine! Killing oneself and taking one's wife is really outrageous...... What a wonderful thing.
It's a bad thing turned into a good thing.
Feng Feng's fingers tapped lightly on the hem of his clothes, and his mood was cloudy and clear.
Based on past experience, the teenager should give himself a sum of money as the cost of closing the case and sealing his mouth.
He pressed the expectations in his heart and planned to understand the facts of the case first.
The deceased's name is Luo Yuan, he is a new Jinshi, and he has not yet been crowned an official - Feng Feng secretly thought: "Jinshi! For the deceased with this status, it is more difficult and complicated to settle, but there is also a lot of money to collect. β
The new widow Luo, who claimed to be surnamed Tang, met and married Luo Yuan on the way to Beijing to take the exam three months ago, and rented a residence here after marriage - Feng Feng secretly thought: "The bitter master is not a native of the capital, so it will be easy to deal with." β
So Feng Feng turned to Wang Xiao, and his hand was still lightly touched, with some expectation in his eyes - this son, come on. The small person is called 'Feng Bulu', and this case must be arranged for you to be unrevealed.
Wang Xiao didn't speak.
"This is the third son of the Wang family." Tang Qianqian introduced.
Which royal family?
Feng Feng was stunned, and suddenly Fu Ling's heart was full, and he said, "It won't be the Qingshuifang Wang family, right?" β
"Exactly."
Feng Feng felt inexplicably melancholy in his heart - I heard that the third child of the Wang family is a demented child, and it is difficult to say whether he can kill people and take his wife, but he will definitely not pay the money to settle his own affairs.
Sure enough, Wang Xiao said stupidly: "What a big bird, it flew over from there." β
"Birds?"
Tang Qianqian nodded, with sadness on her solemn face, and said slowly: "At noon today, my husband came back from going out and saw Wang Gongzi playing outside the door, so I invited him to come in and sit down. The slave was making tea, but suddenly heard a scream and turned his head to look...... Woo...... Woohoo......"
She wiped the tears from her face and cried, "But I saw my husband and him...... He had fallen to the ground. Then, I saw a black-clothed masked man tumble over the courtyard wall and disappear. β
Wang Xiao stroked his palms and laughed: "Fly!" Flew over. β
Feng Feng was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that this was too fake.
"This confession is inevitably a little ......" He didn't want to offend anyone, so he patiently asked, "Then how did this man in black kill your husband?" β
He ...... Woo woo......" Tang Qianqian pinched her sleeves and wiped the tears on her face, choked up: "My husband was kicked in the heart by that person, and his head hit the stone...... It's gone......"
Feng Feng was really a little helpless, in his eyes, this Luo Yuan must have been killed by these two people in the courtyard.
But he didn't want to mess with the third son of the Wang family, and he didn't want to mess with this beautiful woman who was behind him.
But in the realm of Jingshi, everyone has a set of rules for doing things. Either you spend some money, and I Feng Bulu will settle it; Or, you do it all by yourself.
I've never seen anyone fool like this!
"One is dementia, the other is an ignorant woman. I don't know the rules, isn't that embarrassing me? β
Feng Feng thought in his heart, and ordered someone to carry Luo Yuan, intending to bring him back to the yamen for a priori.
The two miscellaneous men lifted Luo Yuan one after the other, Feng Feng's eyes fell on the ground under the corpse, and his body suddenly shook, and he froze there.
But I saw that on the ground, there were eight small block letters written uprightβ
"Heaven has no relatives, and he is always with good people."
Feng Feng pouted and muttered, "Actually, ......"
"That's really what happened!"
He stepped forward and carefully observed the eight words, and his mouth said, "Exactly the same, exactly the same." β
After looking at it for a while, he asked in disbelief, "Have you seen the appearance of the man in black?" Was your husband really killed by 'Muzi'? He...... He's out to kill people during the day? β
Tang Qianqian blinked, and asked with a confused expression, "Muzi?" β
"It's the black-clad killer." Feng Feng said: "A total of eight people have died this month, no, counting this is only nine." These eight words were left under each corpse. Do you see the murderer? β
"He's masked, he's quite tall." Tang Qianqian hesitated.
She seemed to think hard, and couldn't think of anything else, and cried: "Poor master, you must be the master of my husband, he died so unjustly." β
Feng Feng asked Wang Xiao again, and Wang Xiao said that it was nothing more than 'can fly', 'fly so high' and so on.
"Dressed in black and masked, he is quite tall, there should be no mistake, the key is that the handwriting matches."
This case was involved in the serial killer, Feng Feng breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want to stay in this courtyard for longer, so he hurriedly ordered someone to carry the body back to the yamen, and when he left, he told Tang Qianqian to keep the eight blood characters on the ground, and someone would come to inspect it when he returned.
Wang Xiao watched the group of fast catchers go out of the courtyard, and was thinking about whether he could go out with him, but Huazhi had closed the courtyard door.
Tang Qianqian turned her head to look at Wang Xiao, revealing a smug smile.
She still has tears on her face, one moment she is dignified and sad, and the next moment she tears into laughter but she is full of charm.
Wang Xiaoxin said, sister, your acting skills are so good, did you graduate from the Beijing Film Academy?
"Look, Prince Wang, as long as we are in the same breath, others will not know the secrets between us." Tang Qianqian said and posted it again.
Wang Xiao was a little speechless, this woman always felt like she was driving.
As soon as he looked down and saw the words on the ground, he suddenly thought - when was it written? It was clear that it was not the same when the corpse was turned over before.
When I was in the house with this woman, what did that ugly girl do? That...... This flower branch is the killer Muzi?
Serial killer yay.
Tang Qianqian seemed to like to see him scared, her hand swiped on his face, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, the slave family will protect you." β
"Then I'll go back first." He carefully observed Tang Qianqian's expression.
Tang Qianqian let out a long "grace" and said, "There are dead people in this courtyard, and the slave family is so afraid." β
You told me not to be afraid, saying you would protect me.
Wang Xiao was quite speechless and said, "It's getting late, I'm ...... I'm going home for dinner. β
"Don't you eat with the slave's family?"
"No......" Wang Xiao turned his head to look and saw that Huazhi was busy in the kitchen, and seemed to be making a face.
"Isn't it?" He forced a smile and said, "I don't like noodles." β
As soon as the words came out, he regretted it a little, thinking that what if this woman said to do something else for himself.
"Young Master...... Master, where are you? β
- There was a panicked voice shouting in the alley, and it sounded like Ying'er was looking for her.
"Someone is looking for me." Wang Xiao hurriedly said.
Tang Qianqian bit his ear and said softly, "I said I would come to see people again." β
"Definitely, definitely." Wang Xiao was like a frightened rabbit and ran out of the courtyard gate.
He also made a detour to stay away from the flower branches in the kitchen - "Tsk, serial killer." β
With a squeak, the courtyard door opened, and Wang Xiao flashed out.
Whew, a sigh of relief.
The next moment, he was hugged again.
His heart tightened.
When I looked back, it was Ying'er.
"Woo...... Where did you go, young master, you scared me to death...... Don't run around, you're getting more and more disobedient now, Ying'er is so sad...... Woowoo woo ......"
Wang Xiao finally broke out of the tearful girl's arms, pulled her and ran.
The two ran to the street, Wang Xiao looked back and saw that no one chased him out of the alley, and his heart was put down.
Ying'er just thought that he was playing peek-a-boo again, so she patted his clothes and said softly: "Don't run around next time, okay?" β
"Okay."
"Then let's go back to ......" Ying'er sorted out his clothes, and suddenly found that the jade pendant was missing, she was startled, and hurriedly looked around.
Wang Xiaozheng had palpitations, and suddenly found Ying'er holding his hand and walked back.
He was startled and hurriedly grabbed her.
"Go home."
"Young master, where did your jade pendant fall? Shall we go and get it back? β
The girl had a little panic on her face, but she still showed great patience, trying to talk to Wang Xiao with a smile on her face.
Wang Xiao shook his head: "It's dangerous, don't go over." β
Ying'er said: "It's okay, let's go and get the jade pendant back and leave." β
Wang Xiao was a little helpless, how could he not believe what he said because he was a demented child.
He had no choice but to say, "Yu Pei, at home." β
I'm so witty.
Ying'er tried to think about it for a while, and wondered: "I obviously tied it when I put on my clothes in the morning...... Is it young master, have you put it away? β
"Put it away." Wang smiled.
Ying'er patted her chest and said, "I'm scared to death." β
Wang Xiao looked at Ying'er's appearance, and suddenly became a little curious.
It's just a jade pendant, what's the matter.
Isn't it like the psychic jade in the Red Mansion?
But it's not impossible, even such a thing as crossing has happened, and it's not surprising that the jade was born.
"Yu Pei, when I was born, I held it in my mouth?" He asked.
Although it is a little faceless and skinless, it is really too curious.
saw Ying'er smile and touched her head.
"You're being stupid again, where is such a thing." She said with a proud expression: "That's a jade pendant given by the concubine, you must take it away." β
Wang Xiao was a little disappointed.
As for why the concubine gave herself a jade pendant, in his mind, it was probably because she was cute.
β¦β¦
At sunset, Ying'er led her young master and walked back.
Although the little girl's face was not obvious, she was quite concerned in her heart.
She could smell the faint smell of rouge on her young master, and wondered which woman had stolen him to tease him again.
The women had smug on their faces, their hands pinching the young master's face, and their mouths laughing at him for being stupidβthe thought of such a scene made Ying'er feel angry and at the same time a little self-reproachful.
So he told Wang Xiaoqian: "The young master must follow me closely in the future, don't run around." β
"I know."
"Young master, you've been so strange lately, you used to call yourself 'Xiao'er'."
Wang Xiao felt a little helpless in his heart, he really felt stupid like that.
"Young Master, do you know?" Ying'er asked again.
"Xiao'er knows."
He responded with a well-behaved face, and sighed secretly in his heart, Alas, I am too difficult......
