Early the next morning, Liu Song was called by Liu Zhengqing, and the messenger didn't say much, only that the adults had something important to ask. As soon as Liu Song entered the door, he felt that the atmosphere was strange, the adult sat in front of the desk, and the young man standing next to him was the deputy judicial Wang Xun, this person was shrewd and capable, and he sat in the deputy position at a young age, and he was also the right-hand man of the adult.

Liu Song felt that someone was looking at him as soon as he entered the door, but he didn't dare to look up, because he knew that this familiar gaze came from the person he respected.

Wang Xun glanced at Liu Zhengqing, and after obtaining the other party's consent, he said respectfully: "Commander Liu, it's not a big deal to come to you today, I mainly want to ask where you went last night." ”

Liu Song raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Last night, I drank with Counselor Yao Kang Yao in Yuhua Pavilion. Because I was busy with work a few days ago, I recently had a free time, so Counselor Yao asked me out to relax. ”

Wang Xun said again: "After that, where did you go?" ”

Liu Song thought for a while and said, "After last night, after I said goodbye to Counselor Yao on Chunxi Road, I went home, because my head hurt a little after drinking, and I slept until dawn. ”

Wang Xun said: "Then Commander Liu, you know that Lord Yao was killed on Slurry Road last night. ”

Liu Song was stunned, subconsciously looked up at Wang Xun, and then at Liu Zhengqing, who was at the top, seemed a little incredulous, and said: "This, I really don't know, I was fine when I said goodbye last night..."

Wang Xun saw that Liu Song's eyes naturally showed a sad look, and he didn't panic, he turned to look at Liu Zhengqing, Liu Zhengqing put down the teacup, and said, "Liu Song, why did you choose to go out last night." Liu Zhengqing said a few words, but he was not angry.

Liu Song said: "Lord Hui, my subordinates yesterday... I was in a bad mood, and it happened that Counselor Yao had an appointment the day before yesterday, so I chose yesterday..."

Liu Song said the back, his voice was still calm and resolute, but Wang Xun beside him saw the sweat flowing from his sideburns, who didn't know that Liu Boming was executed yesterday, and the adults also deliberately issued a ban, which really hit the eyes.

Liu Zhengqing looked down at Liu Song, silent, his eyes were majestic, and he said for a long time: "Go down and receive the punishment." ”

Liu Song quietly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly said, "Yes", turned around and retreated.

Liu Song pushed open the door, the sun was a little dazzling, and he recalled what happened last night. At that time, after dealing with the scene, he went on the road with the people who had been arranged in advance, and after saying goodbye, the person pretending to be Yao Kang would pretend to be drunk on the pulp stone road and accidentally climb down the ditch, and then replace it with the body of Yao Kang who was transported, the night was dark, there were fewer pedestrians on the road, no one noticed, everything was perfect and smooth. As for the cause of death, he fell while drunk and accidentally stabbed by the sharp wood of the ditch and died on the spot.

"Lord Wang, Counselor Yao is not here, so this matter will be handed over to you to deal with. He is also discerning, rigorous and serious, and I hope you will do the same in the future. ”

"It's an adult, and my subordinates must do their best to do their part for the people of Yuanzhou."

Liu Zhengqing waved his hand, and Wang Xun respectfully retreated.

At this time, Ah Ying was resting in an inn somewhere in the east of the city, and after last night's incident, the two decided to stay in Yuanzhou for one more day, waiting for news from Zhao Qingluan Xuan Bingyu.

The east of Yuanzhou belongs to the administrative district, which is more solemn, only at night, a tavern like Yuhua Pavilion will be noisy, and there is less shouting on weekdays, but it also looks much cleaner.

When Gu Zhan came back with the medicine bag, Ah Ying was leaning on the windowsill to blow the wind, and when he turned around, he saw Ruan Lingyu following Gu Zhan. Ah Ying was stunned, she didn't see her for a day, but she looked a little haggard.

Seeing that Ah Ying didn't seem to react, Ruan Lingyu said, "I saw Brother Gu in the pharmacy, so I wanted to see how your injuries were. ”

Ah Ying came to her senses and said with a smile: "My injury is not serious, and now I am almost healed, but it is Dr. Xu, I don't know what happened to him." ”

Ruan Lingyu walked in, sat down, and said, "The second brother is still recuperating and has recovered a little." I want to thank you the day before yesterday, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to escape, Uncle Xu also said that he wanted to thank you in person. ”

Ah Ying glanced at Gu Zhan, took the medicine bag in his hand, and said, "You don't have to thank me, after all, in that situation, if you don't leave, everyone will have to die, and I am just protecting myself." Ah Ying didn't say anything polite to her, she was indeed telling the truth, she originally wanted to take this opportunity to win over Ruan Lingyu and Xu Annian, after all, Mo didn't know each other and almost took a life, no matter what the two families said, they had to thank her, and it was convenient to learn more about the inside story, but now, first, the murderer has been found, and secondly, she is leaving, so there is no need to pretend to be a good person.

Ruan Lingyu was silent, and Ah Ying unwrapped the thick gauze wrapped around her hand, intending to take medicine.

"Mrs. Liang is dead."

Ah Ying shook his hand, "What?!" ”

Ah Ying and Gu Zhan glanced at each other and said in disbelief: "Didn't the murderer catch it?" When was this? ”

Ruan Lingyu shook her head, "I went there last night, and it was a little girl who found it when she got up at night, and said that she was gouged out..."

"I gouged out my eyes again..."Gu Zhan muttered on the side.

"Who else is like that? I remember that the people in Yizhuang in the west of the city were gouged out and their ears cut off. Ah Ying asked.

Gu Zhan said: "Didn't I go to the outskirts of the north of the city the day before yesterday, and I happened to meet a group of folk spontaneous people, according to them, a total of three corpses were found in the north of the city, but they were all pulled back from the ravine in the north, and they were also gouged out, and there were strangulation marks on the neck, which should belong to the same person." ”

"This person likes to dig up people's organs, either eyes or ears, and he really can do it, is it to practice some lost exercises? Ah Ying looked at Ruan Lingyu as she spoke, as if she had deliberately told her to listen.

Ruan Lingyu looked calm and said calmly: "Didn't I tell you, the second brother has no intention of killing, he is here to save people." ”

"You don't have to explain it to us so clearly, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with us, just do it yourself." Ah Ying continued to take the medicine, and her palm was slightly painful.

Gu Zhan looked at the two of them, walked behind Ah Jin, and said slowly: "Miss Lingyu, the two of us are going to leave Yuanzhou tomorrow, as for this case, we don't want to continue to meddle." ”

Ruan Lingyu frowned and looked at the two people in front of her, she had actually been struggling for the past two days, whether she should tell Ah Jin, she knew that Ah Ying deliberately approached them in order to investigate this case, and she had been on guard against her, for fear that she would do something unfavorable to the second brother, but when she saw that she almost gave her life in order to save them that day, and when the guards sent by her father to protect her went and did not return, she began to wonder if they were doing this right? In order to protect Xu Annian alone, but so many people were sacrificed, is it worth it?

Ruan Lingyu exhaled, got up and said, "Then can you go to Xu's mansion, Uncle Xu wants to see you, he wants to tell you the truth in person, and he won't delay too much time." ”

Ah Ying looked at her seriously, and wanted to refuse, but behind her, Gu Zhan grabbed her shoulder and said, "Yes, but I have to wait for her to finish taking the medicine." ”

"Okay, there's no hurry." Ruan Lingyu unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Ah Ying glanced back at Gu Zhan, and years of tacit understanding made her immediately realize that Gu Zhan wanted to remind her: Ruan Lingyu had a problem.

Xufu is located in the east of the city, and the location is excellent, very close to the important mansions, it is said that this is the honor left by the previous generation of old thorn history era, one to praise the Xu family for generations as a doctor, accumulate virtue and do good; Second, it is convenient for the government to invite the Xu family doctor in time when dealing with the murder case. This is a great blessing for the Xu family.

Ruan Lingyu took the two of them into the Xu Mansion with a familiar car, and the Liang Mansion is antique, exquisite and chic, the layout and architecture of the Xu Mansion is more simple and generous, entering the gate, the field of vision is wide, and it leads directly to the inner hall. The backyard is a medicine garden, most of which are common medicinal herbs, and a few rare and famous grasses under the vine trellis, which are a little wilted by the sun.

"There aren't many people in this courtyard." Ah Ying said curiously.

Ruan Lingyu looked around and replied, "Maybe they all went to do something else, this medicine garden is usually taken care of by Uncle Xu himself." ”

A middle-aged man ran over at the corner of the corridor, saw the comer, and hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "Oh, Lingyu girl, you can come back, go and take a look, the second young master vomited blood again." ”

As soon as Ruan Lingyu heard this, she grabbed the corner of her skirt and hurriedly went forward, and Ah Ying and Gu Zhan also followed.

Taking advantage of Ruan Lingyu's relatively close separation, Ah Ying asked, "How did you meet her?" ”

Gu Zhan said softly: "I met her in the branch of Huisheng Hall, but I didn't expect her to be sharp-eyed, and she recognized it at once." Be careful, she looks weird. ”

"Hmm"

Several people came to the inner room, Xu Huisheng and Master Xu were checking his son's pulse, Ruan Lingyu stood aside, rubbing his hands, his eyes seemed to be glued to Xu Annian's body, and he couldn't move away.

"Aunt Kang, please go to the kitchen to fry a medicine, or the one I prescribed yesterday, stay up for a quarter of an hour." Master Xu commanded.

"Okay." Aunt Kang didn't say much, and went down with a few maids.

Only then did Master Xu notice the two of them at the door, and hurriedly got up and asked, "But Miss Ah Jin?" ”
