Just when the atmosphere became more and more weird, Ye Chengci sent someone over and said: "A few people have made great contributions to our Admiralty City, and when the holy decree comes down, I heard that the prefect will personally set up a banquet to entertain you." Our general has arranged a lodging for you in the city, so please leave at once. ”

They prepared two carriages, Ye Jinyu didn't say a word, and pulled Qin Miaoyin into the one behind. In this atmosphere, it is better to avoid suspicion.

She can't get out of the Hou Mansion now, and her relationship with Yun Yu is also half-hidden, so she doesn't plan to find out their relationship like everyone at this time.

In the future, it is better to keep a low profile in front of everyone.

What Ye Chengci arranged for them was a small courtyard, which should be his private property, with a small area, but the layout was very elaborate and elegant.

There were five servants in the courtyard, and Ye Chengci didn't appear after they arrived, Ye Jinyu wondered if they really had to sleep in their dreams and wait for the next day's arrival?

At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation outside. When they went out to look, they found that all the servants were concentrated in the kitchen yard at the back, and when they got closer, they saw a woman lying in the kitchen, with a cut on her left wrist, a blood stain spread out under her body, and a kitchen knife in her right hand, which was the murder weapon.

"Let's go." Qin Miaoyin shouted, Jing Xingzhi had already helped her open a way. With a word of thanks, she trotted into the kitchen, crouched down to check on the woman, and shook her head regretfully at the crowd after a while.

In an instant, the atmosphere became even heavier, only to hear a woman crying in her throat, and was about to run inside with her feet, but was stopped by Qi Guanyu reaching out.

"This aunt's mourning has inevitably ruined the scene, you can't go in now, and no one else is allowed to approach." Qi Guanyu commanded a person who seemed to be a housekeeper: "Go and report to the official immediately." ”

The housekeeper hurriedly responded and hurried away.

Ye Jinyu went over to persuade the woman a few words, and when her mood gradually stabilized, she asked softly, "Auntie, who are you who the deceased?" Who was the first to find the deceased? ”

The woman's name was Zhu Xiuyun, she wiped away her tears and glanced at the situation in the house, turned her head unbearably and sadly, and said, "This is my sister Zhu Xiuhua, we are working together in the kitchen, and we usually have to start preparing dinner at this hour." Who knew that I had just come in and found ...... Xiuhua walked too ...... It must have been forced by her children......"

As he spoke, he couldn't hold back his tears.

Ye Jinyu looked back at Li Sui, and Li Sui asked a servant standing next to him, "Little brother, do you know if the deceased had any enemies during his lifetime?" Have you ever had a grudge against anyone? ”

Qi Guanyu also asked another servant, "Where are Zhu Xiuhua's children now?" What disputes do they usually have with their mothers? ”

Jing Xingzhi also pulled the last servant to ask about the timeline of Zhu Xiuhua who was finally seen.

By the time the government came, they already had a lot of information.

The deceased, Zhu Xiuhua, was a local, but he married in Hibiscus City 20 years ago, and his children have all married and settled in his hometown. After Zhu Xiuhua's husband died of illness three years ago, she was forced by her daughter-in-law to go out to work.

He did this for three years, during which time he rarely returned home, and it was rare to see his children visit. Zhu Xiuhua is an honest and responsible person, she saved her monthly silver one by one and divided it into two parts, both of which were reserved for her children.

But just half a year ago, the son of the family suddenly wrote a letter, saying that he had found a way to start a small business, hoping that his mother could use the money that his father had left behind to fund it.

Zhu Xiuhua did not doubt that he had him, so he gave it directly.

After that, his son wrote to ask for money every once in a while, and various reasons came up one after another. Later, even her daughter sent letters after letters, asking for some "life-saving money" every time.

Zhu Xiuhua would not doubt the intentions of her children, so after being squeezed for half a year, the property left by her husband and the savings she had saved were all emptied.

"In the past month, he borrowed twenty taels of silver from me." Zhu Xiuyun wiped her tears and cried bitterly: "I persuaded Xiuhua not to spoil the children so much, where are there so many fatal things, it is the lack of greed of those two children that forced their mother to death." ”

After the government came, everyone in this courtyard had to be interrogated. Ye Jinyu and the five of them went back to the flower hall to wait first, and Qin Miaoyin sighed with emotion, "How can there be such a child in this world, and it is really unfilial to force the biological mother to commit suicide." ”

Ye Jinyu thought for a moment and said, "This story sounds a little familiar, I think there must be other problems in those children." ”

"But why can I force my biological mother to death?" Qi Guanyu was sitting in a precarious position, his voice was fierce.

Jing Xingzhi also wanted to sigh a few words, but the people from the government came in.

The person who came was Shen Ying, the head catcher of the Yamen, and knew their identity, so he was not embarrassed, but just asked a few words routinely. Soon, his voice changed sharply, and he said: "This case involves two families in Hibiscus City, and it is a long way to go, and we are also lacking in skills. You should also know that Admiralty City is in urgent need of manpower now, and we really can't leave, so I want to ask you to help investigate the deceased's sons and daughters. ”

Ye Jinyu and the others don't have a good impression of Jin Zhongcheng, and now they can have a reason to leave early, and they are naturally very happy.

Shen Ying arched his hand and said: "Thank you, in order to show our sincerity, our adults have prepared a generous gift for you, and I hope you will accept it with a smile." ”

Hearing the word "gift", Ye Jinyu instantly came to his senses, and finally had new equipment?

Shen Ying ordered five boxes to be brought in, each containing a new set of clothes, a set of headdresses, and a new weapon.

This time is really a big deal, but from the beginning of the cholera incident to the present, several tasks have been accumulated, and this reward is not too much.

Everyone changed into new equipment, held new hairstyles, and put on new weapons, and Shen Ying prepared a luxurious carriage for them.

To go to Hibiscus City, you must first rush to Tangtang City to find the teleportation array. Search the e-book

Not long after the carriage left the city, Ye Jinyu woke up from his dream, and he didn't see Yun Yu for the next few days.

On this day, Ye Jinyu came back from Chen's house and went directly to Qingyun Garden. Along the way, she attracted a lot of onlookers, but she didn't realize it, and shook a few pigskins in her hand by herself.

As soon as she entered the Cloud Garden, Yulian hurriedly ran up to catch it, and asked strangely: "What is this, how can there be a pattern painted on the pigskin?" ”

"You don't understand!" Ye Jinyu smiled slyly and asked, "What about you girl, give her the things." ”

"It's in the house, and the girl will come with the slave." Yulian led the way in front, staring at the pigskins from time to time.

Qin Miaoyin was embroidering a handkerchief in the house, and was also startled by the things that Ye Jinyu brought over, put it on the table, and looked at it from a distance, and immediately understood what it was.

A complicated and moving look flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand to send Yulian and the others out, walked to the table and carefully observed the patterns on the pigskin, and asked suspiciously: "Are these flowers?" ”

"Isn't it not quite like that?" Ye Jinyu smiled weakly and explained: "I'm not good at painting, and my skills are limited, but these flowers are carefully selected by me. ”

She pointed to the patterns on the pigskins and introduced: "This is a bellflower, which is usually white, but in order to cover the words on your body, I changed it to red sandalwood, and then with green flower branches, I shouldn't be able to see anything." The most important thing is the flower language of the bellflower, which represents strength and perseverance. ”

"There is also this butterfly flower, mostly blue, I chose the blue color, which means 'believing is happiness'."

"This is a pineapple flower, I use crimson, and its flower language is good luck."

……

After listening to this, Qin Miaoyin's heart was even more moved, and her eyes were slightly red, because her sister couldn't draw but designed six kinds of flower branch patterns for her, practicing hard every day, and each flower had a beautiful meaning, she must have spent a lot of thought.

"Sister, I'm getting more and more inseparable from you, what can I do?" Qin Miaoyin hugged Ye Jinyu's arm and rested her head on her shoulder.

Ye Jinyu pinched her face and said, "In the future, when my sister goes out to make money to support you, you will be responsible for being as beautiful as a flower." ”

Qin Miaoyin was amused by her, and the two of them had a few more words, Ye Jinyu asked her to pick a favorite pattern, and she hesitated for half an hour before setting on the bellflower.

Ye Jinyu said that she would specialize in practicing bellflowers in the future.

Thinking that she would go to Shen Pavilion for dinner at noon, she got up to say goodbye, and walked out of the Cloud Garden not far away, when there was a sudden noise in front of her.

"What's going on?" Ye Jinyu paused.

"I'll take a look." Ling Zhao nodded, quickly ran into the crowd a few feet away, and returned after a while, and said with a strange expression: "Do you remember the father and son you saw last time, they are still in the house, and now the father is scolding our Hou Ye for not keeping his promises, as if he has said something about seeking death and life." ”

Ye Jinyu's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked, "Did the father and son meet under the teahouse last time?" ”

Ling Zhao nodded.

Ye Jinyu didn't ask any more questions, and walked over quickly, there were more than a dozen people around the father and son, and there were guards pulling the troublesome man, warning him that if he didn't shut up, he would be tortured.

Who knew that the man was not afraid at all, he held his son and refused to get up, and for a while he said that he was not in good health, and if he was scared to death, he would have to carry a human life, and then he said that the child was sick and drove them away at this time, didn't he force people to die?

Later, he said righteously that the Hou Ye had promised them that as long as they were willing to come to the Hou Mansion, they would not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, Hou Ye changed his hexagram, they even sold the house for Hou Ye, and if they left the Hou Mansion, they would not starve to death on the streets.

Everyone listened to the gossip, and they really talked about it.

Ye Jinyu's brain hurt when he heard it, this man is a professional in porcelain, last time he touched porcelain, this time he touched porcelain. Hou Ye is too, he is usually so shrewd, and he doesn't know why he took the initiative to bring trouble to his home this time.

"Ahem!" Ye Jinyu had heard enough from the crowd now, coughed heavily, and when everyone saw her, their faces changed, and a few timid ones immediately withdrew. Leaving a few under Ye Jinyu's stressful gaze, he also left unsatisfied.

Only two guards were left to salute Ye Jinyu, "Girl, this person is a scoundrel, and the villain will throw people out of the house." ”

As soon as the man saw that the excitement around him had dispersed, and then listened to the guard's words, he knelt down in front of Ye Jinyu with a plop, and cried and begged: "Girl, save our father and son, you must be a bodhisattva......heart"

"Big brother, do you remember me?" Ye Jinyu took two steps back, and looked down at the father and son on the ground with a smile.

The child was pale, kept his eyes closed, and looked really sick.

The man raised his head when he heard this, and when he saw Ye Jinyu's face clearly, his pupils suddenly shrank in shock, and he retreated in panic. It didn't take long for him to suddenly lower his head and force himself to calm down.

"Do you want to report to the police this time?" Ye Jinyu asked rhetorically.

The man twisted his neck stiffly, and secretly scolded that the recent luck was really bad, and last time the girl gave a hundred taels of silver and asked him to send a girl to the government. He didn't ask much at the time, and later the government confiscated the silver, and if he hadn't slipped away quickly, he almost even shook out the old bottom.

I thought that this time I came to Wu'an Hou's Mansion to finally come to work, but I didn't expect that he would be driven away after just a few good days, of course he couldn't do it. It's just that he hasn't made a fuss yet, and he killed Cheng Cheng halfway to bite the gold, and this girl still has an old grudge with him, is God playing with him?
