Li Xinming, Chen Huixian, Li Yuyu and Xiao Gu gathered around a round table, and the family ate warmly.

The Northern Song Dynasty is a dynasty with an explosion of food, an out-and-out food paradise, all kinds of food in the previous life, the Northern Song Dynasty has a corresponding shadow, known as the Northern Song Dynasty on the tip of the tongue.

Honey cake, jujube cake, spiced cake......

Steamed buns, green onion cakes, rice porridge......

Seven or eight styles of breakfast, Chen Huixian said angrily: "Make a little simple, and you will eat it." ”

"Mother, this breakfast is simple there, this is too rich, delicious, really delicious, mother, the food you cook is so delicious, I want to eat it for the rest of my life."

Watching Li Xinming gobble up a bite of honey cake, Chen Huixian's heart was relieved and tensed again, Yu Qiye committed suicide, Chen Huixian had already heard what Xiao Gu said.

Chen Huixian always believed that her son would not commit suicide, and she didn't take her father-in-law's words seriously.

It's just that now, someone wants to kill her son, Chen Huixian can't help but be a little worried, listening to Li Xinming's words, she said: "Eat or not, the virtue of starving to death ghost reincarnation." ”

Li Xinming smiled, he glanced at Li Yuyu next to him, and saw that she was chewing slowly, gentle and elegant, floating by.

Xiao Gu's eating is a little cuter, but the speed of eating is faster than him, a snack that is not picky and easy to feed, and the identification has been completed.

After the meal, Xiao Gu put a few oil paper bags in his pocket and followed Li Xinming out of the Yujia Medicine House.

On the morning of early April, the sun was soft and the breeze was blowing, and the two figures were walking on the streets of Jiangning County while watching and eating.

If he meets someone who greets Yu Qiye, if there is a description of this person in the diary, Li Xinming will stop and talk a few words.

If there is no description in the diary, Li Xinming will nod his head and deal with the case he is handling.

After shopping for two or three hours, Li Xinming has almost explored the streets, shops, human geography and other situations around the Yujia Pharmacy and Jiangning County, which is very much thanks to everything Li Xinming learned in his previous life.

Sugar black plum, honey apricot, honey wood bullet......

Xiao Gu patted the last empty bag of oiled paper bags, held it up, smiled, showed two small dimples, blinked his eyes and said cutely, "Uncle, it's gone." ”

"If it's gone, it's gone."

Li Xinming was about to throw the last candied fruit into his mouth, Xiao Gu stared at him, pouting, looking like a longing snack, Li Xinming licked the candied fruit and said, "Do you want to eat it?" ”

Xiao Gu glared, and said fiercely: "Uncle is bad." ”

Li Xinming ate the candied fruit in one bite, puffed out his mouth and said: "Ninety-nine percent of the snacks all went into Xiao Gu's mouth, and Xiao Gu also said that his uncle was bad and fed uncooked snacks." ”

"How can there be ......" Xiao Gu suddenly blushed, lowered his head, pointed his two index fingers at each other, and said coquettishly: "People have been walking for so long, their little feet are so tired, and they have to eat when their little feet are tired." ”

"Now we don't have to go, we can rest." Li Xinming pointed to the Yamen of Jiangning County, which was close at hand, and said.

"Uncle is bad!"

Xiao Gu walked to the county government with a smile, and Li Xinming followed behind with a smile on his face, until he came to the door of the ya.

The courtyard door was closed, Li Xinming stepped forward to push the door, and at this moment, the courtyard door slowly opened, and a middle-aged man in his fifties wearing a black long-winged hat, curved collar and big sleeves, and leather belt around his waist, wearing a green official uniform, stood at the gate of the courtyard with a calm expression.

"Father-in-law."

"Your Excellency."

Li Xinming stepped forward to make a salute, and Xiao Gu stepped forward to give a blessing ceremony, this middle-aged man is Li Yutang of Qipinzhi County, Jiangning County, and the father-in-law of Yu Qiye.

Li Yutang, as his name suggests, looks dignified, but his figure is a little thin, and he looks a little swollen with bags under his eyes today, and there are some dark circles under his eyes.

Li Yutang's footsteps were suspended, looking at Li Xinming, he was not surprised to see Li Xinming at this time, Li Xinming woke up from a coma, and during breakfast, Li Yutang received a message from Chen Huixian.

Li Yutang's expression was calm, and he spoke with a sense of majesty, "Tomorrow's painting? ”

"Yes, father-in-law." Li Xinming nodded and continued: "Come here today to clean up the house, so that it is convenient to work tomorrow." ”

Painting Mao is the name of the Northern Song Dynasty officials who go to work in the morning, which means that the office starts at the time of Mao, and Mao Zheng (six o'clock in the morning) signs in to work and waits for dispatch.

"Pay attention to your body!"

Li Yutang didn't show a word of concern, reached out and patted Li Xinming's shoulder, and left.

"A father-in-law who loves face very much, so he can serve him."

When Li Yutang saw him for the first time, Li Xinming noticed that the father-in-law's expression was a little unnatural, and Li Xinming read such information.

Embarrassed, I want to find a hole to get into.

After Li Xinming fell into a coma, Li Yutang claimed internally that Yu Qiye committed suicide because he slept in a separate room, and externally claimed that Yu Qiye was murdered.

After Li Xinming woke up, he took a trip to solve the Yuqiye suicide case, and slapped his face, Li Yutang, as his father-in-law, is not embarrassed by Jiangning Zhixian.

"Lord Monarch looks majestic again."

"Hmm!"

After Li Yutang left, Li Xinming and Xiao Gu entered the two rooms of the courtyard, fetched water and took a broom to start cleaning the yard and the study, the murderer of the fish for seven nights, except for leaving sandalwood chips on the roof, there were no other clues, and the scene of the study did not need to be kept.

After cleaning the main room, Li Xinming and Xiao Gu came to the side room next to the main room.

"Oh! Uncle, it's so cold here. ”

A trace of white mist rose in the side room, the sun flickered and flickered, and the temperature of the whole side room was very cold compared to the beginning of April outside.

"yes, it's cold." Li Xinming looked around, if there were no frozen corpses here, this would definitely become a summer sanctuary for dog days.

"Ahh

A dolphin-like scream sounded in the side room, deafening, Li Xinming's mouth opened slightly, and he was so frightened that he jumped out and ran out when he saw Xiao Gu.

"Uncle is bad, Uncle actually brought Xiao Gu to this kind of place."

Li Xinming listened to the milk murder voice from outside, the corners of his mouth rose, in addition to being a snack girl, she also has weaknesses.

"The door says cold corpse, you don't look at it, follow in, blame who, wait outside, I'll go out in a while."

Li Xinming gathered around the corpses and checked the number of corpses, "Seven corpses." ”

"This corpse has strangulation wounds on the neck, multiple bruises on the front and back, left and right, abrasions on the outer epidermis, broken hyoid bone, dislocated cervical vertebrae, unilateral dislocation of the mandible, twisted muscles of the limbs, this is a suicide by hanging."

Li Xinming transferred to the next corpse and examined it, "This corpse ......"

Knock knock~~~Knock knock~~~

A faint rhythmic sound like a heartbeat echoed in the cold corpse room, Li Xinming slowly straightened up, squinted his eyes and looked around.

The seven corpses lay quietly on the ice bed, covered with a white cloth, motionless.

That's when it happened.

"Uncle, there is a sound of drumming outside the county office, Xiao Gu will go and take a look." Xiao Gu's voice went from near to far, and the sound of departing footsteps became farther and farther away.

Finally let Xiao Gu find an excuse to stay away from the cold corpse room, especially I thought that the corpse had changed, Li Xin understood the eyes, checked the other corpses, and locked the cold corpse room.

Li Xinming looked at the sky, it was close to noon, and he could go home for dinner, and at this time, Xiao Gu also came back, and he locked the door of the main room.

Xiao Gu was holding two rock sugar gourds in his hands, eating them beautifully, and when he saw his uncle, he immediately stepped forward and handed one out, blinked his eyes, and said sweetly: "Uncle gives it to you, this rock sugar gourd is sweet, this is bought with Xiao Gu's own money." ”

Li Xinming took it and tasted it, it was good and sweet, seeing that Xiao Gu was still peeking at himself when he was eating the rock sugar gourd, Li Xinming smiled and said: "In the future, you will not be allowed to enter the cold corpse room without my permission, just stay in the main room." ”

"Yay! Uncle is so nice. Xiao Gu jumped up excitedly.

The snacks are attentive and the purpose is obvious.

"Let's go home for dinner."

"Uncle, here, there is a wall."

"Xiao Gu, let's go this way."

Biu！

"Uncle, why don't we go through the gate, why do we go over the wall?"

"Uncle wants to experience the feeling of flying."
