That night, the so-called "elopement" was so lightly erased, in addition to strengthening the guards in the palace, Huo Yue was even more at Ye Xingcan's side.

Naturally, no one mentioned the matter of Lingxiang assisting the two of them to go to Chunyang Pass privately, but the master and servant were much closer. Many times Ye Xingcan would also wonder why Lingxiang was obviously the person arranged by Ye Yao by his side, why he was willing to be punished and help her and Liu Qingrang escape from the palace.

For a few days, Liu Qingrang didn't find a reason to go to the palace, but he didn't want to meet him on the street, Ye Xingcan's side was naturally inseparable Lingxiang, and Huo Yue, who was waiting for him.

Huo Yue looked at this young herd although he was depressed, but he didn't know what to do, the four of them walked all the way, and their hearts were different. Ye Xingcan looked at the fun on the streets of Jianxing, so he introduced Liu Qingrang and Lingxiang one by one, and bought a bunch of candy people for her to play. Remembering that Lingxiang said that his hometown was in the south, and Liu Qingrang was also from Jiangnan, he thought that he should fulfill the friendship of the landlord, so he led everyone to "Fumantang" to taste Jiangnan cuisine.

When I arrived at the restaurant, I went up to the private room on the second floor, sat in the window, and waited for the dishes, almost all of which were Liu Qingrang talking about Jiangnan customs.

It was also fun to eat and chat, but when I heard the noise downstairs getting louder, I looked down and saw a group of people on the street, gathering at the mansion, so I sent Huo Yue down to ask.

Soon, Huo Yue returned, saying that a few days ago, the Jinyunlou drama was killed, and the murderer was caught two days ago, and he was going to be interrogated publicly.

Ye Xingcan was not interested in listening to it, and remembered that it would be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, so he asked what customs were in Jiangnan.

Lingxiang only said that he was in the countryside when he was young, and there was nothing special. Liu Qingrang talked eloquently, saying that in his hometown of Ningzhou, in addition to eating moon cakes and other pastries, the most fun thing is to light the lamp.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, every family will tie a paper lamp with an internal candle to a bamboo pole with a rope and erect it high on the eaves or terrace, which is called the 'Tree Mid-Autumn Festival' or 'Vertical Mid-Autumn Festival'. The lamp hung by the rich and noble, some are even several zhang high, the family gathers under the lamp to enjoy the moon and pray for blessings, the ordinary people erect a flagpole, two lanterns, take their own pleasure, pray for the blessing of the family, to the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the lights of the city are no less than the glass world.

Ye Xingcan felt so beautiful when he heard it, and he yearned for it, and he thought that he would not be able to go, and he was a little sad.

Huo Yue listened to Liu Zhuangyuan's introduction, and interjected, the Mid-Autumn Festival in our Jianxing is magnificent, and every year the king of Yongning personally performs the moon ceremony, and people all over the city will gather at the altar of earth. It's just that I don't know if the prince can rush back to Jianxing in time this year.

Ye Xingcan was also thinking about the moon sacrifice ceremony, and when he shook his head, he heard Liu Qingrang continue to say, the predecessors had the saying that "a lamp can break through a thousand years of darkness, and a wisdom can destroy a thousand years of foolishness", and the folk also use "lamps and lanterns are passed on from one lamp to another, and the lamps are endless" to imply the transmission of wisdom. The custom of lighting lamps was first expected to light up the wisdom and light lamps in the hearts of all living beings......

didn't wait for the finish of the speech, I heard another discussion on the street, and the voice came, "It is said that the play was strangled in a costume, or the makeup and hair of the green snake in "The Legend of the White Snake", it seems that he wants to play a solo play for the lover, which is also pitiful and lamentable." ”

Ye Xingcan listened to the costume, so he asked Huo Yue to ask again when he passed away, and when he learned that it was the second night of the first month of August, he was shocked and pulled everyone to rush to the mansion together.

Jianxing has few cases, and it is the capital of seven counties in the northwest, and it is not the turn of the government to try the bigger things, this time there was a murder case, and the government Yin was also excited, and pursued for several days, and finally caught the murderer in the neighboring county, so he simply came to a public trial.

Ye Xingcan put on a hat and stood outside the hall with everyone, waiting for Fu Yin to ascend to the hall.

The deceased is the actor Yinshuang, kneeling under the hall, and the man covered in blood is the murderer, Wang Ji, the young master of Hengfeng Qianzhuang, and on the other side is the master of the troupe and Jinyunlou as a witness.

Although Wang Ji was covered with blood, he still crouched in front of the hall, shouting that he was wronged, and said that he was beaten into a trick, and when he arrived at the silver frost room that day, the door was not locked, and when he opened the door, he found that the person was dead, so he was scared away, and he hid for fear of causing trouble.

The case is simple, some actors pointed out that on the night of the crime, Wang Ji came to Jinyunlou's residence, and he himself also confessed.

On the second day, it was found that Yinshuang was strangled in the room, wearing a costume, and there was a shark silk next to the corpse, everyone in the troupe remembered that this handkerchief was Yinshuang, embroidered with Bai Suzhen looking back into the distance, according to the troupe, it should have been embroidered for several months, but before I saw this shark silk handkerchief in Wang Ji's hands.

Although the plaintiff is crying out for injustice, the evidence is conclusive, and it seems that there is nothing to triotable.

Ye Xingcan looked at Wang Ji's hands in a daze, although he was a young master, he was pampered, but after all, he was a man, his hands were generous, and he might like to smoke a lot, and his fingers were burnt.

Ye Xingcan remembered that the second day of August was his birthday. That night, it suddenly rained heavily, and in the second half of the night, lightning and thunder roared. Before her brother arrived, or at that time, there was a woman in costume and makeup who appeared in front of her with Anseong, as if she knew that she could see ghosts.

It's just that Ye Xingcan couldn't hear her words, and only remembered that the woman still had a rope around her neck, but her face was calm, not like a person who died should be. When I looked at the woman boldly, I saw a shadow in her eyes, and when she was strangled to death, the last thing I saw in my eyes, although I couldn't see it really, I could still see that the hand holding the rope was very white and delicate, and it was a woman.

Ye Xingcan thought that it should be Yinshuang's new death at that time, but somehow, the ghost floated to the palace and met her. It's just that when Ye Yao pushed open the door, compared to Princess Ancheng's resentment, Yinshuang seemed to be afraid of something, and disappeared in an instant.

Although this Wang Ji doesn't look good, he must not be a murderer, and seeing that he is covered in blood, he must have been beaten before. Ye Xingcan stepped forward and spoke to the chief official of the hall, "Lord Fu Yin, it was a woman who killed Yinshuang, please check again." ”

Throughout the ages, which plaintiff would willingly admit the crime, the human and material evidence was present, everyone in the hall felt that the two were hated because of love, and they heard that they had reported that Yinshuang had a fetus in her womb, and she felt that Yinshuang wanted to marry into the Wang family, Wang Ji refused, and there was murderous intent in the dispute.

Obviously, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, but suddenly a woman with a hat said that the murderer is a woman, and Gu was shocked.

Seeing that someone was questioning him in a grand manner, Fu Yin was more angry than rational in his heart, and ordered the officials to blast Ye Xingcan out, but Huo Yue stopped him.

How could the official be Huo Yue's opponent, before anyone touched it, he was blocked, although he didn't know why the princess said this, Huo Yue still dutifully blocked the front, looked at Fu Yin coldly, put the sword in front of him, and said coldly, "I see who dares to do it." ”

Liu Qingrang was thinking about the concubines in the play, turned into nothing, and even wrote a play for Yinshuang, who died tragically, when he suddenly heard Ye Xingcan speak, he was also at a loss.

Only Lingxiang suddenly thought that on the second thunderstorm night of the first month of August, when she heard what the young lady said, she turned her head to look at her, her eyes full of questions, and Ye Xingcan just nodded.

Fu Yin saw that Huo Yue was extraordinary and upright, and guessed that it was not small, so he invited Ye Xingcan into the yatang and asked her how she knew, Ye Xingcan couldn't say why, but he insisted that the murderer must be a woman, and asked Fu Yin not to rush to the verdict.

Thinking of the murderer killing one person and then framing another person, he asked him to check if there was a woman who had a grudge against Yinshuang, and at the same time had a grudge against Wang Ji.

Fu Yin saw that Ye Xingcan had no evidence, and everyone outside the hall was talking about it, and his face was even more unbearable, thinking that if it weren't for this man who seemed to have a bit of a background by her side, he would have blasted her out a long time ago, so he said patiently, "Miss, the verdict should pay attention to evidence, now that the certified physical evidence is there, and the murderer has also confessed, you have no evidence, please retreat." Although the words were pleased, the tone was cold and hard, and the officials watched Fu Yin speak, and they also surrounded them together, and they were about to bombard people.

It's just that without waiting for Huo Yue to make a move, he saw a white figure protecting Ye Xingcan.

Ye Xingcan raised his head and looked at the familiar back, everyone in the hall knelt down, Fu Yin supported his trembling body, and kowtowed again and again, "I have seen King Yongning in my humble position." ”

The person who came was indeed Ye Yao, the king of Yongning, I saw him looking at Ye Xingcan with a light smile, his eyes were full of tenderness, "Is it hurt?" As soon as I returned home, I couldn't find you, why did you come to solve the case? ”

Ye Xingcan looked at Ye Yao's eyes full of bloodshots, as well as the fatigue after the fatigue of the saddle horse around him, he regretted it in his heart, he had long known that he was going to rush back to Jianxing in the near future to preside over the Mid-Autumn Festival moon ceremony, so he should stay in the mansion.

Now that Ye Yao was tired and came out to find himself, he blamed himself a little, but he didn't expect that Ye Yao was drenched with vinegar, so he rushed back in the starry night. Seeing Ye Yao protecting him like this, he felt a trace of sweetness in his heart, as if he had done something wrong when he was a child, and his brother was always in front of him.

Thinking away again, Ye Xingxuan pursed his lips and decided to solve the case first. He pulled Ye Yao's sleeve, asked him to lean down, put his feet in his ear, and whispered what he saw during the thunderstorm that night.

Ye Yao pondered intently, regretting that she didn't arrive at Ah Can's side in time that night, so that she was disturbed by ghosts, feeling guilty, and looked at the agate bracelet on Ye Xingcan's wrist, and could only hope that this bracelet would be really useful, and there would be no more accidents next time. Seeing Ye Xingcan looking at him expectantly, he ordered everyone to be flattened, and then ordered Fu Yin to move two Luo Circle chairs, took Ye Xingcan, and sat on Fu Yin's side together.

I didn't want to look up, but I saw that the initiator who abducted Ah Can a few days ago was also in front of the hall, holding his breath in his chest, but he couldn't show any jealousy in front of Ah Can. I had to look at Liu Qingrang coldly, and my fingers tapped on the startling wood, as if he was smiling, planning to go back and deal with this unknown champion.

Liu Qingrang knelt on the side with everyone, looking at King Yongning and Ah Chan standing together, his heart was sour, how could this prince come back so quickly, it was really a matter of the world. When I looked up, I saw the two of them grinding their ears and temples, which was even more uncomfortable.
