didn't wait for Qin Lin to ask about the Yuhuatai murder case, but Xu Xinyi rushed to ask about the investigation of the Caoyin theft case along the way.

When Qin Lin said that when he handed back the silver with Jin Yingji and Wufeng Maritime Merchant, Miss Xu's teeth were chattering, and she couldn't wait to give birth to wings and fly to the sea and bite the demonic woman to death.

Qin Lin was puzzled and blinked: "Yes, Miss Xu, you seem to have some prejudices against Jin Yingji?" ”，

"It's nothing, it's nothing..."Xu Xinyi snorted, his cheeks twitched twice, and he gritted his teeth and said: "How can I have a prejudice against her, this treacherous and cunning, despicable, shameless, and dirty ...... I don't know her! ”

The killing intent of the sky soared into the sky from behind Miss Xu, the wind and clouds changed color, and the grass and trees were sad one by one, which is still called no prejudice? It's a grudge that is deeper than the East China Sea!

Qin Lin shook his head, and made up his mind never to let Jin Yingji and Xu Xinyi meet, and the next time he saw Jin Yingji, he would ask her how she offended Miss Xu.

After leaving the Jubaomen and about to arrive at Yuhuatai, Xu Xinyi remembered today's topic and told the facts of the case she knew.

The eldest lady of the Wei State Mansion likes to do the most is hunting, jousting, horse racing and solving cases, among which solving cases is also at the top. The Duke of Wei is rich in Jinling, and he is favored by his father and brother, Xu Xinyi has money, so he bought off the two counties of Shangyuan, Jiangning and Yingtianfu, no matter where a big case or a strange case occurs, someone robs her and tells her, so when a serious case occurs inside and outside Nanjing, she always gets the news before others.

This time, there was a serious case of rape and murder in Yuhuatai, and the official was anxious to see Xu Xinyi receiving the reward here, and only said that a naked female corpse was found on the edge of the village forest in Yuhuatai, and he didn't know the rest of the things. "When we get to the scene, everything will be clear!" Xu Xinyi smiled heartily, lifted the reins, and ran away with a long hissing of the jade lion in the night.

When Qin Lin returned to Nanjing, he sat on the snow Wuya. "Huh, dare to overtake?" He also galloped after him.

Xu Xinyi turned around and grimaced, laughing and whipping again and again.

Xu Xinyi, who was dressed in white and red, was in front, and Qin Lin, who was riding a black horse and wearing a bright yellow flying fish suit, was behind, and the two horses galloped towards Yuhuatai like chasing the wind and lightning, and passers-by were all dazzled when they saw it.

Yin Wang Shizhen of Kaifeng Mansion is lining up people and horses along the official road to Yuhuatai, the front official sounded the gong to open the road, the Zhuang class carried the quiet, evasive tiger head card and eight-sided official title brand, four bridge men carried the green sedan chair stride meteor flying, Wang Shizhen still in the sedan chair and kept urging with his mouth.

Compared with Wang Bengu, Geng Xiangxiang and those gossip officials, Wang Shizhen, the leader of the literary circle, is much more pragmatic, has been in the officialdom for a long time, and has rich experience as an official from the center to the locality, not to mention anything else, every time there is a murder case in the jurisdiction, he runs extremely fast, and can always arrive as soon as possible.

This time, however, he had to settle for second place.

The sound of horse's hooves tapping and tapping behind, and the sound of jingling bells under the neck of the jade lion in the night, the charm is alone, and the team of officials of Ying Tianfu hurriedly went to both sides of the official road to let everyone know that it was Miss Xu who heard this unique golden bell one by one.

Wang Shizhen lifted the curtain of the green sedan chair, poked her head out and wanted to take a look, but suddenly there was a flower in front of her eyes and a cold head. A gust of wind passed, and Xu Xinyi, who was dressed in red and white, had already run to the front.

The jade lion ran extremely fast, and the wind that rowed up took advantage of the momentum of the northwest wind to blow Wang Shizhen's black gauze hat to the ground.

Seeing the old man's bareheaded, bearded and glaring eyes, the officials wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and an old and powerful official hurriedly offered his courtesy, picked it up for him and re-cut it. "Only villains and women are difficult to raise..."Wang Shizhen muttered in her mouth, her face dark, helpless.

Suddenly, there was another flower in front of him, the yellow-clothed black horse stopped in front of the sedan chair, and then looked at the rider on horseback who else could it be if it was not Qin Lin?

This deputy Qianhu of the brocade guard was not as cold as ice during the trial, but smiled and bowed to Wang Shizhen:

"The disagreement between the lower officials and Miss Xu is racing horses here, which shocked Mr. Wang, guilty, guilty!"

People give face, Wang Shizhen is also extremely recognized, and he said that he didn't dare to dare, and smiled and asked Qin Lin to beat the horse and go first.

When Qin Lin rode away on the snow and black sui, Wang Shizhen took the lead with a goatee and smiled and said to himself: "This person is a young man, and it is rare that he does not have half a point of arrogance, his heart is like the abyss of the sea and accommodates hundreds of rivers, and his spirit is like a mountain and stands for thousands of people, and he will become a great weapon in the future!" ”,

Yuhuatai has a long history, since the Warring States period Yue Wang Goujian built "Yuecheng", Yuhuatai area has become a good place to climb the high Range Rover in the south of the Yangtze River. During the Three Kingdoms, because the post was full of colorful stones, it was also called Shizigang, Agate Gang, and Jubao Mountain. Legend has it that during the period of Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty, Buddhism prevailed, and there was a high monk Yunguang Master who set up an altar here to preach the scriptures, moved the heavens, fell flowers like rain, and Yuhuatai got its name from this.

Xu Xinyi and Qin Lin arrived at Yuhuatai one after another, and Qin Lin saw that there were indeed many colorful Yuhua stones on the ground here, reflecting the sunlight and conjuring brilliant colors, which were not seen by later generations, because they were dug up by the end of the Qing Dynasty.

After going around half a circle clockwise to the grove behind, I saw that Bai Hao, the chief catcher of Ying Tianfu, was already waiting here with a few officials, and a few other gentlemen who were not civil, military, military, official, business, or businessmen, seemed to be the local township covenant and land protection.

Two pale feet stretched out from under the reed mat beside him, presumably corpses: there were more than two dozen peasant peasants with hoes and flat shoulders surrounding four or five people, and the crowd was crowded and it was difficult to see the appearance clearly.

"Brother Qin, Aunt Xu, you are here!" Someone pulled the broken gong and jumped and screamed, like a cow's roar: "This group of thieves and birds is not the one I killed, but is it not wronged?" Hurry up, Brother Qin will argue for me! ”

Qin Lin fixed his eyes and took a closer look, this guy who was jumping on his feet was actually the little marquis Chang Yinxu!

I saw the famous dumb overlord in Nanjing, wearing a dark robe with a large group of golden flowers, covered with a fox fur jacket on the outside, a raccoon dog fur hat on his head, and a fur boot under his feet.

Just now, Chang Yinxu opened his strange eyes, blushed and his arms were thick, and he was arguing with the villagers, he still had a nine-ring thick-backed chopping knife on his waist, and several generals were guarding him, all with weapons, all of them were strong men, and the fierce spirit in his eyes looked like he had rolled in the pile of dead people on the battlefield.

Seeing this, Qin Lin nodded, and said in his heart that although this little marquis was rude and domineering, he did not fight with the villagers, and he was not a stubborn son who blindly oppressed the people.

When the villagers saw that there was a brocade-clothed guard official coming, out of instinctive awe of the embankment rider, they scattered the circle a little, but when they heard that Chang Yinxu and Qin Lin knew each other, they became in a commotion again.

Xu Xinyi gloated, pointed at Chang Yinxu's nose with a horsewhip, and smiled heartlessly: "Haha, Xiao Chang, you also have today!" Don't worry, if you do a case, Miss Ben will definitely arrest you and go back to jail and kill your head! ”

When the villagers heard this, it turned out that Miss Xu and Chang Xiaohou did not deal with each other, so it would not be possible to help him, but they were also relieved, and praised Miss Xu for judging the case impartially, which is really an out-and-out female Qingtian. 、

Xu Xinyi was happy, Chang Yinxu cried with a sad face, patted his thigh and complained: "I am dignified, bloody man, Aunt Xu, you don't look at it, where do I look like a flower thief?" ”

Xu Xinyi jumped off the horse and looked at Chang Yinxu around, from head to toe, from foot to head, and finally nodded again and again:

"Like, you are a flower thief! It's still the kind of vulgar and obscene, shameless and filthy! ”

But seeing the little marquis Chang Yinxu Hei Jinjin's oily face, the two little eyes squinted and always felt that there was a bad idea, the body was thick and short, the hole was powerful, the dress was really tasteless, and there was a funny nine-ring thick-backed mountain chopping knife hanging from his waist, in short, this guy was a thief who was born in the wrong place, and he still likes to rob other people's families and be the kind of lady who presses the village!

Qin Lin couldn't help but laugh: "Master Chang Xiaohou, there are flower thieves who deceive the girl of the Leap Pavilion with sweet words, those who use sweat medicine, and those who are overlords who are the bow, your brother is not only like a flower thief, but also like the last one!" ”

Chang Yinxu opened his eyes, his cheeks were like a big toad, and he had nothing to say to Qin Lin and Xu Xinyi.

However, Xu Xinyi heard Qin Lin say "The overlord is the bow"

After a few words, Fang Xin's heart suddenly jumped, and he thought to himself: Didn't he already know? Jin Yingji's stinky girl, she won't tell him about that night, right?

Observe carefully, there is no abnormality on Qin Lin's face, poor Miss Xu, who is heroic and sassy, and has no clue to guess, and finally bites the silver teeth, and the root of his heart: Hmph, if this guy knows and dares to deliberately pretend to be stupid, Miss Ben will definitely kill him... Tie up and spank! ,

Imagining Qin Lin being tied up and spanked, and repeatedly saying "Eldest Miss spare her life", Xu Xinyi laughed again.

Nymphomaniac? Qin Lin stretched out his palm and shook it in front of her eyes.

Suddenly returned from imagination to reality, his appearance fell into Qin Lin's eyes, and he didn't know if he knew what happened that night...... Xu Xinyi's honey-colored face suddenly flushed with a charming mother's red, and he quickly jumped off the horse, not daring to look at Qin Lin again in a panic.

Bai Hao, the chief catcher, walked up and saluted Qin Lin and Xu Xinyi with fists.

Xu Xinyi often comes to the scene of the case, and Ying Tianfu has long been accustomed to these arrests, sometimes taking snitches and suppressing robbers, and it is convenient to directly ask her to help transfer troops to help fight when Tianfu lacks manpower, so he does not resent her coming.

When asked about the case, Bai Hao introduced it to 1510.

This Yuhuatai is an extremely famous resort outside Jinling City, from the beginning of spring to the beginning of autumn, visitors are weaving, when the weather is good, I am afraid that there are not tens of thousands of people to come to the green.

However, it is now the end of the year in the middle of winter, and this year it is not cold, and the wind on Jubao Mountain is so strong that it can freeze people to death, so there are no tourists on the Yuhua platform, and even the ghost shadow can not be seen.

The person who found the body was called a paparazzi, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, black and thin, with two eyes full of panic, Qin Lin and Xu Xinyi were almost speechless with fright when they interrogated him, and Bai Hao even deceived and frightened before he told the situation again.

It turns out that Uncle Gou's house is looking for guests in Nanchenggang under Jubao Mountain, he is looking for helpers to do some chores in the guest, last night a few people who lived in the store said that there is an excellent rain flower stone outside Yuhuatai, and now it is cold and does not want to go up to pick it up, if there is a good sale, I want to buy some.

The speaker has no intention of listening, and the dog is poor, so he wants to pick up a few good-looking rain stones and sell them for money.

There is no rain flower stone in Yuhuatai, and the good stones are found a little farther away, so the dog will run to the edge of the village forest and be ready to find it.

At the edge of the village forest, he saw two feet without shoes sticking out of the dry grass, and he was immediately frightened half to death, and he didn't dare to look closely, so he stumbled back and shouted for help.

The villagers hurriedly went up the mountain to check, and met Chang Yinxu and his party walking down the road halfway, and immediately stopped them from leaving, and then went up to take a look, hey, the strange woman in the grass has long been dead!

The villagers immediately sent people to inform the township covenant and the mayor, and rushed to the city to report to the officials, and at the same time watched Chang Yinxu and others, until Bai Hao, Xu Xinyi and Qin Lin, the chief catchers of Tianfu, arrived one after another.

After the introduction of the case, Qin Lin immediately asked the most important question: "Didn't anyone else find anyone else on Jubao Mountain?" ”

The villagers looked at each other and recommended a man in his thirties with a simple face to come out, Bai Hao introduced that his name was Dong Boss, and he was a hunter here, and he was very appealing among the people.

Boss Dong replied respectfully: "Back to the master's words, the dog went down the mountain to report the news, and we were afraid that something would cause trouble and affect the villagers, so we called the descendants of the whole village to keep the mountain road, and we didn't find anyone else." ”

Qin Lin nodded, this is indeed true, the Ming Dynasty is not like the later generations, once there is a life lawsuit, the neighbors and witnesses will be arrested and interrogated by the officials, and the state and county trials will be fine, and the provinces will be judged according to the inspection department, and even the Beijing control, these unlucky people will have to accompany them into the provincial capital and the capital to fight lawsuits, and lose money and time.

This kind of mutual insurance system is the most effective means of maintaining the comprehensive management of social security under the low technical level, which is equivalent to the mass prevention and control of the masses in later generations, and the common people are afraid of being implicated, not only do they dare not harbor criminals, but as soon as they find out the case, they will quickly go to the official government to make a first complaint, and the initiative is really stronger than that of later generations.

Like Dong Boss and others who learned that a murder case had occurred, they immediately reported to the officials and organized people to block the mountain road, which is the most ordinary and normal reaction of the people of Daming after encountering this kind of thing.

However, in this way, Chang Yinxu's suspicion has skyrocketed. Pander to.

Qin Lin looked at him and asked, "It's freezing, why did you come to Yuhuatai?" ”

Chang Yinxu rubbed his hands embarrassedly, "I heard that I can find a red concentric pattern of rain flower stones, and that marriage can be ...... Hehe, so I'm in a hurry to go up the mountain to find out if I can send a block to Miss Gao. ”

It's another one who came to find Yuhua Stone! Qin Lin muttered a little in his heart.

"Then why didn't the dog see you when he came?" Xu Xinyi asked businessmanlikely, and suddenly his apricot eyes lit up, and he said, "Could it be that you were here at that time, committing murder?!" ”,

Chang Yinxu took a step back, clapped his hands and complained: "My aunt and grandmother, don't wronged people!" I'm picking up stones on the rain flower platform, how do I know about this woodside? …”

Burst! Qin Lin squirted out, you are picking up stones on the rain flower platform, you are creative! Is that what you call stealing stones? Just because there are a lot of people in you, there will be no thorns in the rain flower stones all over the ground.

As he spoke, Xu Xinyi's female soldiers, Wang Shizhen, Ying Tianfu Ya Servant, Lu Fatzi and other Jinyi captains arrived one after another.

Qin Lin didn't get any clues from the interrogation, so he had to enter the procedure of bolting the body.

When the Qianzuo of Tianfu went up to uncover the straw mat, people couldn't help but let out a low exclamation, because the female corpse was naked!

She is about eighteen years old, with a melon seed face, a beautiful nose bridge, black hair, a beautiful face, a well-proportioned and graceful figure, and a thin foot entangled, she must have been a very beautiful and moving woman before her death.

It's a pity that now her bloodless skin is gray and gray, her lips that were originally as soft and ruddy as flowers have turned into a terrible pale bluish white, her open eyes have lost their vitality, they have become hollow and frightening, and her stiff body also reminds people that she is long gone, and her skin is covered with bruises and pinching marks, as if telling the misfortune of her life...... What's even more terrifying is that her face, which was originally called beautiful, appeared with a weird and inexplicable smile!

One by one, people gasped, what happened to this poor woman before she was alive to become covered in bruises? In the moment of death, did she feel the relief she couldn't ask for, and thus the last smile appeared?

On a cold winter day, the life that should have bloomed like flowers is faintly withered, who is the culprit of the sin that destroyed her?

"Does anyone know the deceased?" Qin Lin asked.

No one answered.

Qin Lin frowned, in this era, unmarried women from large families are not very willing to go out, Zhang Juzheng is so contemptuous of etiquette, he refuses to go home even during the mourning period of his parents, Zhang Zixuan wears men's clothes when he goes out, and from time to time he paints his face yellow and brushes his eyebrows so that others can't recognize him, Qingdai can't go out a few times a year except for accompanying Li Shizhen to the mountain to collect medicine, and he is happy to go out for a walk during the Dragon Boat Festival.

I'm afraid that only a monster like Xu Xinyi, who is not afraid of heaven and earth and is connived at by his parents, will run around the streets!

So, a single woman who no one knows from her spoon suddenly died naked in the wild, it's too unbelievable...", "Wrong", Lu Fatzi rubbed his fat face, and asked a question mark in his head: "This woman died naked on the ground, what about her clothes?" How cold it is now, I'm afraid I won't be able to live for half a day without clothes. ”

Xu Xinyi also attached to Qin Lin's ear and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid there is a problem!" Qin Lin, you said, even if you are killed by others, why don't you have any clothes? Who kills someone and has to record their clothes? ”

Qin Lin smiled, there are everyone in this world, maybe it is really a psychopathic criminal who committed the crime, this is not for sure.

He narrowed his eyes and gave the order in a fierce voice:

"Han Feilian, Niu Dali, you take the brothers to cooperate with the officials of Ying Tianfu, go to the back of the small village to check and see if you can find her clothes, whether this is really the first scene here!"
