The moon is dark and the wind is high.

The dim and obscure lights slowly moved in the corridor, and under the dim light, the red beams and pillars on both sides couldn't help but restrain the festivity, and there was a shallow layer of sadness.

At the same time, there was a murmur of babbling noises, whispering intermittently in the swaying wind—

"Dead ...... Injustice...... Corpse ...... Die...... During his lifetime...... That's right! ”

The light suddenly stopped, and when it was raised slightly, it reflected a majestic and mighty man, but it was not Second Master Sun who had just returned home from the scene of the crime, who else could it be?

I saw him turn around and leave the corridor, and rushed to a lower courtyard near the left, and when he got closer, he didn't bother to raise his hand and knock on the door, but only raised his voice and shouted inside: "Zhao Nan!" Zhao Nan! ”

But it turned out that he had just deduced the facts of the case while walking, and he didn't remember what he promised Liu Xianglian, so he transferred here first to explain, so as not to delay any longer.

shouted two or three times, and heard Zhao Nan respond in a panic, followed by the bluestone slab on the soles of his feet, but he couldn't even care about wearing shoes, so he hurriedly greeted him.

Seeing Zhao Nan rushing out in disheveled clothes, Sun Shaozong's face sank, and he scolded: "How can you be frizzy?" If there is a female dependent, how can I get it? ”

"Damn the villain!"

That Zhao Nan knelt down with a pop in front of the door, walked a few steps to the front, and grabbed the ground with his head: "Please also ask the master to punish." ”

"Don't pretend to be pathetic to me."

Sun Shaozong raised his foot and hooked his shoulder, helped this guy straighten his waist, and said straight to the point: "Ming'er, you go directly to Dali Temple to find Liu Xianggong, and he will have his own errand for you at that time." ”

Zhao Nan these days, except for helping to roast venison, there is no serious errand, the heart of early leisure panicked, at this time when he heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and kowtowed again and again: "Thank you for lifting up, thank you for lifting up!" ”

"Go back to sleep."

Sun Shaozong threw his sleeves and left without saying a word.

Zhao Nan still kowtowed, until the light disappeared around the corner, then he ran up from the ground, and flew back to the house with a shiver.

I held on to the wall in the dark and reached the north end of the Datong Kang, and was about to rub off the dirt on the soles of my feet, and then get into the hot quilt, when someone next to me suddenly asked: "Barbarian, why did the second master call you?" ”

Hearing the word 'barbarian', Zhao Nan was very displeased in his heart, but he pretended to smile and said unwillingly: "It's nothing, the master saw that I still knew a few words, so he ordered me to go to the yamen to be Liu Gongzi's helper." ”

The questioner immediately fell silent.

But when Zhao Nan stumbled into the quilt, I don't know who cursed on the Chase bunk: "Rite Niang, even a barbarian climbed on our heads......"

Before long, the curse came to an abrupt end.

The shadow is sufficient, and I heard someone scold: "The second master's orders...... If you don't want to live, don't get involved......"

Zhao Nan covered his head in the quilt, sneered a few times disdainfully, turned his face but muttered something silently: 'Yidi and Huaxia, then Huaxia', carefully arranging the collar into the right side.

…………

said that Sun Shaozong left the people's residences, but he did not go back to his own courtyard, but went to the study alone to rest.

Not to mention that I have just touched a dead person, after all, I am a little unlucky, and from the perspective of hygiene, I should wash up first, and then contact my wife, concubine, and children.

I hit the well water and repeatedly scrubbed my hands and face with fragrant pancreas, and my spirit couldn't help but be lifted.

There was a lonely pillow on the left and right, and there was still some distance in the ionic night, so Sun Shaozong simply lit two arm-thick butter candles, and spread out the four treasures of the study, and continued to deliberate on the two poisoning cases that occurred today.

There are many similarities between the two cases, but there are also many differences.

In the same way, Wang Baochang, like Wei Bantou, died in a rented remote house, and the way of death was almost the same as Wei Bantou, both of whom were bitten to death by poisonous insects placed in boxes in advance.

The difference is that the poison in Wang Baochang is very different from Wei Bantou, and it is almost impossible for it to come from the same poisonous insect.

In addition, there were no traces of burns left by the ceremony on Wang Baochang's body.

And then there's ......

After transcribing the similarities and differences of the two parties on paper, the next step is to confirm the doubts and clues in the known information.

First of all, both yards were rented a few months ago, but according to the confessions of the neighbors, they have always been vacant and no one has ever been seen in or out.

Renting two courtyards at the same time, and both of them have been vacant for months, can't they be prepared to kill people?

This strange place, Sun Shaozong has already put forward it.

Therefore, Zhao Wuxing, Governor Qi and others are now working overtime to search the two houses to see if there are any other clues.

Another suspicion is the way the two died.

It is now the third day of the tenth lunar month, and there are still three days before the official beginning of winter, but because of a heavy snowfall a few days ago, the temperature in the capital has actually entered the winter in advance.

In such weather, even if the insects are not hibernating, they should be completely frozen and wilted - it is very difficult to temporarily use them as killing traps.

And there are many ways to kill, so why do you have to use poisonous insects?

The only reasonable explanation is that the murderer has been keeping this thing, and even does not hesitate to use geothermal heat to maintain the activities of poisonous insects in winter.

As for the purpose of this......

may have something in common with a master surnamed Wang in later generations.

However, Master Wang is just making money, and at present, this master of raising poisonous insects is seeking money and killing without delay.

And then there's ......

Knock knock knock~

Sun Shaozong was scrutinizing repeatedly, and when he suddenly heard a knock on the door outside, he couldn't help frowning.

At the beginning, in order to carry out the six chaotic actions in southern Xinjiang, he once explained to the subordinates in the house that the study is a place to deal with important official business, except for the cheap big brother, others have not been instructed, and they are not allowed to approach at will.

But what kind of broken rules are these unsightly?

Sun Shaozong got up unhappily and went outside, and asked through the door panel, but heard Zhao Zhongji say carefully: "I didn't dare to disturb the second master, but this time I suddenly sent a letter from the north, and the little one was afraid of delaying the business, so he ......."

Crunch~

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Sun Shaozong tore open the courtyard door and spread his hands and said, "What about the letter?" Show me! ”

According to the original plan, in a few days, the Shenji Battalion led by Sun Shaozu should complete the exercise and return to the capital.

At this time, I suddenly brought a letter to my family, could it be that there was something wrong?

Thinking like this, Sun Shaozong didn't care about opening the seal, so he directly tore off the cover, shook off the letter, and instructed Zhao Zhongji to pick up the lantern and scan it at a glance and ten lines, which can be regarded as a sigh of relief.

It turned out that Sun Shaozu said in the letter that because of a heavy snowfall a few days ago, the black water was damaged, so he sent people to the territory of Dazhou to loot.

Because those Tatar people are very brave in the field, most of the Great Zhou guards are guarding the gate.

Only Sun Shaozu was happy to hunt, and with hundreds of people in his department, he set up an ambush in the narrow place, severely damaged a barbarian team, and captured the grandson of a certain tribal leader.

After that, Sun Shaozu led his troops to retreat into Shanhaiguan, and on the other hand, he sent people to the capital to report the victory—to be precise, he asked for a few more troops of the Shenji Battalion to continue the anti-sweeping campaign.

Look at this meaning, before the spring of next year, I am afraid that the cheap brother will not return to Beijing.

Of course, these are mainly for the imperial court, and they are only mentioned in passing in the family letters.

The real point of the family letter is actually to suggest that Sun Shaozong should be more leisurely, at least wait until he returns, and then continue to work hard with Jia Yingchun for reproduction, so as not to be exposed to obvious flaws.

After reading the family letter, Sun Shaozong was a little speechless, gathered it in his sleeve, and took the opportunity to order Zhao Zhongji to prepare some meals and send them to the study - he also used some with Liu Xianglian and Wang Zhen, but because he had been discussing the case, he was only half full.

When I first returned home, I didn't feel anything, but now I'm really hungry.

Back in the room, Sun Shaozong took out the book, re-measured it twice under the lamp, and made sure that no useful information was missing, so he directly set it on fire and burned it into a pile of flying ashes.

As soon as he had disposed of the pile of ashes, he heard a knock on the door outside.

"Come in, the door is unlocked!"

Sun Shaozong answered, and saw that the courtyard door was divided left and right, two little maids were walking in front with lanterns, and a tall and plump beautiful lady behind her was carrying a food box, but it was Second Sister You who had just had a leg injury.

She hurried a few steps to the front, first bowed to Sun Shaozong and said ten thousand blessings, and then turned around and ordered the two maids to be outside, and then carried the food box in.

Seeing that Second Sister You put the food box on the round table, she began to drive the familiar cloth vegetables, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but wonder: "I asked Zhao Zhongji to pass the rice, but how did it reach you?" ”

"Sister Rong has already asked the small kitchen to be prepared for the master, and the slave is just borrowing flowers to offer the Buddha, and taking the opportunity to ask the master for some housework."

Second Sister You said, first presented a pair of ivory chopsticks with both hands, and poured a cup of thirty-year-old soju and placed it in front of Sun Shaozong.

Sun Shaozong picked up the hot and sour bamboo shoots first, took a sip of the soju, and then asked with a smile: "What housework is there that your sister Rong can't handle, and you have to talk to me at night?" ”

"What ...... this?"

Second Sister You pretended to hesitate and pulled the handkerchief, and said, "Sister Xiangling interceded for Caixia, and Sister Rong also responded, discussing to arrange her in my room." ”

Speaking of this, she hurriedly waved her hand and said: "The slave is not unwilling, the master is so dragon and horse spirit, the slave is worried that there are no sisters to share one or two!" Just ......"

She twisted into Sun Shaozong's ear and whispered a few words.

Sun Shaozong laughed dumbly when he heard this, took her in his arms with his backhand, and quipped: "You are a 'greedy mouth'!" Let's go, I will take a lot of effort in the future, and I will always pour it on you! ”

Second Sister You couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly pursed her lips, made a leather cup and made soju, and drank it with Sun Shaozong.

During the period, I couldn't help but swallow a little, the thirty years of aging is very strong, and she is a shallow amount, unconsciously, she is three points drunk and seven points charming, and she peels off her skirt and opens her skirt, and the white jade meat insect is also teasing.

After a while, Sun Shaozong couldn't hold back, and he didn't care that there were two little maids waiting outside, so he swept the wine and food aside and fitted it......

There is a poem half-que:

The flowers and trees are moist, and the roots are strong and the branches are proud.
