Li Yu pushed open the door of the lobby and stepped in, Leng Yi followed, and as soon as he entered the bedroom, he smelled a strong smell of blood! I couldn't help but be taken aback. Li Yu stood at the door of the bedroom, looked at Leng Yi, and did not go inside. but motioned for Leng Yi to go in.

Leng Yi glanced at him, stepped in, and immediately stopped, only to see a ** woman lying on her back on a large bed in the middle of the bedroom, and the quilt was lifted to the side. Between the woman's plump **, there is a dagger inserted in it! Blood flowed from the wound, soaking a large patch of mattress underneath him.

Leng Yi turned his head to look at Li Yu: "What's going on?" ”

Li Yu sobbed and said, "She is my Baoyi Huang family." Last night, I put her to bed. Towards dawn, I woke up and found her dead beside me, with this dagger stuck in my heart. I was terrified, I knew that the official family must have sent someone to do it, and seeing that I didn't kill myself, I killed my concubine as a warning! ”

"How do you know that the official family sent someone to kill him?"

"The dagger! The handle is a winding strip of cloth and ribbon, all golden yellow! That color that only the royal family can use! Who is not a person from the official faction, who has such a knife? ”

Leng Yi looked at the knife carefully, and sure enough, he couldn't help frowning.

Li Yu cried: "The official family is forcing me to commit suicide!" He still won't let me go! ――Lord Leng, haven't you told the officials about what you promised me? ”

"What's the matter?" Leng Yi thought about it and asked casually.

"It's just to tell the official family, saying that I really don't feel nostalgic for my homeland anymore. If possible, let the officials let me go to Biansai. You promised me that you would help me tell the official......"

Leng Yi smiled bitterly: "That was yesterday, I was accompanying Mrs. Zun all day yesterday, and I didn't have time to enter the palace, I was going to go today, you called me here first." ”

"Okay, then please go into the palace and tell the official. Please! If you delay it any longer, I'm afraid it will be too late......"

Leng Yi said: "The murder that happened here, as the magistrate of Kaifeng Mansion, is responsible for solving the case, how can I leave without figuring it out?" ”

Li Yu hurriedly said: "Here I will send someone to Kaifeng Mansion to report to the official, Lord Leng only needs to explain my affairs to the official." ”

"No way!" Leng Yi said categorically: "If the official family knew that I was a pusher, but left without permission at the scene of the murder, they would blame me." In that case, how else can I tell the officials about you? ”

"Yes, yes," Li Yu nodded again and again, "Then please ask Lord Leng to investigate the case first, and after investigating the case, it is not too late to go." ”

Leng Yi said: "You send someone to report to the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion and ask King Qi to come in person." ”

"This ......, isn't this okay? Didn't you say that if someone sent by the official family did it, don't investigate it again, lest the official family find out and get angry? ”

Leng Yi said: "But now I don't know if the person sent by the official family did it......

"Definitely! No problem! ”

"Even if it is, you have to make a pretentious investigation, after all, it is a major matter of human life, how can you not do it!"

Li Yu hurriedly claimed that it was, called the servants, and ordered him to hurry up to the house of Zhao Tingmei, the king of Qi, to report that there was a murder here.

Leng Yi squatted down first to observe the situation on the ground in the house, and found no suspicious footprints, so he got up and walked in, looking up at the roof and finding no traces of damage. Looking around, I found that one of the windows in the back window was hidden, and when I looked closely, there was no trace of damage to the window paper, so I opened the window and looked out. The snow outside the window has not been cleared, and the messy footprints of the past are still there.

He closed the window and walked back to the bedside to take a closer look at the body.

Li Yu's bed was very large, and the corpse was lying in the back. Except for the knife in the heart, there were no other wounds, and there were no signs of struggle, indicating that the deceased was probably killed by a knife in his sleep.

Judging from the large amount of blood flowing from the wound of the deceased and the life reaction of the wound, it is obvious that the wound is a pre-mortem injury. That is, he was killed while he was alive.

Leng Yi turned the corpse over and inspected the corpse spots, which had already appeared in the lower parts of the body such as the back and buttocks. Mortis has also appeared. However, it has not spread to the whole body, which means that the deceased should have been killed around three watches in the middle of the night.

Leng Yi came out and asked Li Yu, "Did you hear any unusual noises last night?" ”

Li Yu shook his head with a sad face: "The killer sent by the official family must be a master, and it is impossible for me to hear anything." ”

"And when you got up, how were the doors and windows doing?"

"It's all closed. And it's all bolted from the inside. ”

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure!" Li Yu said with certainty.

Leng Yi said: "Then it's strange, how did the murderer close the doors and windows from outside?" ”

Li Yu said: "They are all masters, there must be a way!" ”

Leng Yi carefully checked the situation of the doors and windows again, and did not find any traces of the mechanism. Leng Yi's gaze fell on the dagger on the corpse again.

He carefully pulled the dagger out. The dagger was beautifully decorated, and the handle was actually pure gold, wrapped with a golden cloth ribbon, and also wrapped with gold wire. The blade is also unusually sharp, and at first glance it is not an ordinary blade.

At this time, the porter came to report that Zhao Tingmei, the king of Yin Qi of Kaifeng Mansion, had come with a servant. Li Yu and Leng Yi hurriedly greeted them. Seeing Zhao Tingmei, Li Yu stepped forward quickly and arched his hand: "Chongguang save me!" ”

Zhao Tingmei said in a deep voice: "What's the matter? ”

Li Yu cried: "The official family wants to kill me!" ”

Zhao Tingmei was shocked: "How can you say this?!" ”

"Yesterday my Baoyi Huang family attendant, this morning I woke up, I found that she had been killed in my bed by a killer sent by the government, a knife in the heart, killed on the spot!"

Zhao Tingmei said: "Don't talk nonsense! He looked left and right, and whispered, "Go to the house and talk!" ”

The three of them entered the lobby, and Zhao Tingmei briefly looked at the scene and was stunned. closed the door of the lobby, and then said to Li Yu: "How do you know that it was killed by someone sent by the official family?" ”

Li Yu said: "A few days ago, I got up early and hung a white silk on the main hall beam, with a beautiful texture, something that only the royal family has, and then, someone put a highly poisonous crane top red in my pastry to kill me, but fortunately I found it in time." And the crane top red is something that only the royal family has! This time, what killed Bao Yi next to me was a dagger with a golden cloth belt and gold wire wrapped around the hilt, a color that only officials can use, isn't it more revealing? All of this proves that the official family wants to use these methods to force me to commit suicide! Chongguang, you are the younger brother of the official family, help me speak, let the official family let me live! Woooooooooooo ”

Li Yu burst into tears.

Zhao Tingmei frowned and looked at Leng Yi: "What do you think?" ”

Leng Yi bowed and said: "There are no direct clues to solve the case at present, however, Longxi Gong's speculation is not unreasonable, it's just that it's not easy to directly check with the officials." ”

When Li Yu heard this, he cried even more.

Zhao Tingmei nodded slowly and said, "Okay, you are responsible for this case." You are the royal belt of the official family, and when necessary, you can also probe the official family. If that's the case, let's make another decision. ”

Li Yu cried: "I'm afraid that I won't wait for that day, and I will be killed by the killers sent by the official family!" ”

Leng Yi said: "Grandpa, don't worry, if these three are really the killers sent by the official family, then as you said, the official family is just forcing you to commit suicide through this method." If I wanted to kill you, I would have killed you a long time ago, and I wouldn't have waited for three warnings. ”

"It's just three things! The officials have warned three times, and they will not warn again, they will do it directly! ”

Leng Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Since the official family thinks that it is not appropriate to kill you directly, and adopts the method of forcing you to commit suicide, there must be a good reason why it is not appropriate to kill you directly, and the official family will not easily change their minds." So, Grandpa can rest assured, I'll go into the palace to listen to the news. Until there is any definite news, please be patient. ”

"Okay......" Li Yu thanked him sadly.

Leng Yi said again: "At the scene of the murder, please don't move for the time being." Of course, the corpse can be buried after the yamen has done an autopsy and filled in the corpse grid. These days, please ask the grandfather to live elsewhere. ”

Li Yu nodded.

Subsequently, Zhao Tingmei has been comforting Li Yu, while Leng Yi is responsible for arranging the on-site investigation and autopsy.

Li Yu's former concubine, Jiang, came over to ask if there was a funeral. Li Yu shook his head and said, "Don't use it first, and don't move the corpse." If the official family makes up their minds to let me kill myself, when the time comes, ......, you will be able to bury us both together......"

Jiang was so sad that he wept and left.

waited until the evening, there was no news of Leng Yi, Li Yu couldn't sit still, and when the lights were on, he still sat in a sedan chair and came to Leng Yi's mansion.

Seeing Leng Yi coming out, wearing an official robe, with a gold belt given by the official family around his waist, dressed in a formal suit, because in the past, Leng Yi was in civilian clothes, and couldn't help but be very surprised, and said, "Lord Leng, ...... are you?" ”

Leng Yi said: "I just came back from the inner court, and I can't afford to change my clothes, so I heard that my grandfather is coming, so I came out to greet him." ”

Li Yu asked nervously, "How is the situation?" ”

Leng Yi shook his head and said: "The official family is busy with official business all day today, and it is said that the military situation in the north is urgent, and the military situation is being discussed." So I waited until now, and I haven't seen the official. ”

Li Yu was disappointed and said worriedly: "That...... Will the official send someone to ask for my life tonight? ”

"Grandpa is too worried!" Leng Yi said: "Even if the official family has this idea, they will not be in such a hurry." ”

Li Yu shook his head in despair and said, "What the official family thinks, no one knows ......"

Leng Yi didn't know how to comfort him. Li Yu didn't go to visit his wife, didn't ask, didn't even sit down, and said goodbye and went back.

Back at home, Li Yu sat in the wing room in a daze, and the concubine Jiang and other concubines cried on the side. When it got dark, the concubine lit a lantern and didn't light it more, for fear that Li Yu would feel uncomfortable. This lantern made the room very dim.

Li Yu didn't realize it, he kept sitting like this, and in the middle of the night, Jiang asked Li Yu in a low voice which concubine he would let sleep with tonight, but Li Yu was just silent. Jiang sighed, and whispered to Li Yu that he liked the most well-behaved concubine Yuliuzhu to sleep. and whispered a few words to her. Liuzhu nodded shyly in agreement.

The Jiang family quietly retreated with the rest of the concubines and closed the door, leaving only Li Yu and Liuzhu.

Liuzhu got up and blew out the only lantern, and the room fell into darkness. She walked to Leng Yi and sat down, gently lying prone in Li Yu's arms. He didn't speak, but he had his own delicate body to warm him.

Li Yu slowly seemed to return to the world from the illusory ethereal, lowered his head, looked at the flowing beads, raised his hand, and stroked her soft hair. In his eyes, tears fell.

Liuzhu lifted up, took Li Yu into his arms, kissed away his tears, and let his head rest on his towering twin peaks.

This action seemed to give Li Yu some sense of security, and he began to knead the ** of the flowing beads like a child, and buried his face between the twin peaks. Liuzhu began to moan like nothing, but a pair of hands had quietly untied the clothes belt, and clamped a pair of warm and fragrant ** between Li Yu's cheeks. At the same time, he began to untie Li Yu's clothes with his hands, and stroked Li Yu's body gently and rhythmically. Slowly, little by little, it stirred his horn.

The moon rose little by little, and when the cold moonlight entered the house, the two of them were already in bed...... This scene is not intense, but it is enough for Li Yu, who is physically and mentally exhausted, to temporarily forget his fear and sorrow and fall asleep. Liuzhu also sweated and fell asleep with her in her arms.

I don't know how long it took. Yue'er disappeared into the faint clouds, and the room darkened again.

Suddenly, Li Yu sat up from the bed upright, and then, opened the curtain, took a bunch of keys from his robe hanging on the screen, naked, slowly walked to a large cabinet, opened the lock, opened a brocade box, reached out and touched it inside, paused, shrunk back again, closed the brocade box, squatted down, and opened a brocade box below, which was full of jewelry of various colors, all of which were very exquisite. He touched for a while, took a pointed golden hairpin, and then, closing the cabinet, locking it, and putting the key back.

With the golden hairpin in his hand, he turned around and came back, walked straight to the bed, got on the bed, knelt and crawled a few steps, lifted it high, and then stabbed it hard at the heart of the bead lying inside.

Liuzhu screamed softly in pain, twisted her body a few times, tilted her head, and stopped moving.

Li Yu let go of his hand without moving, lay down next to the corpse, and then stopped moving.

At this time, two people slowly walked out from behind the screen, looked at the big bed, and sighed in unison. One of them, lit a lantern on the table. The other walked to the bed, hung the curtains on both sides of the big bed on the crescent hook, leaned over, pushed Li Yu hard, and said, "Grandpa!" Wake up! ”

Li Yu woke up, opened his eyes, his eyes were a little confused, and after a while, his eyes slowly focused on the two people.

Seeing these two people clearly, Li Yu was shocked and sat up all of a sudden: "Lord Leng!" Heavy light! You guys, why are you here? ”

These two people are Leng Yi and Zhao Tingmei, the king of Qi.
