After saying these words, the clothes and shoes and socks fell suddenly, piled up on the table, and the jewelry hanging in the air also smashed down, making a "jingling" crisp sound.

Seeing this, where could Master Yuan still hold it, he rushed over, hugged his daughter's clothes and cried, "My hard-working Wei'er, your mother has just been gone for a year, and you are gone, so how can I, an old man, deal with myself?" ”

Yuan Changli, the young master of the Yuan family, heard him say this, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, but Master Yuan was still reluctant to get up, only holding his daughter's clothes and crying bitterly, his face was as white as paper, and he looked like he was about to faint.

"Why don't you bring you a cup of tea?" Mu Xiaowu first ordered the people to pour water, and then said to Master Yuan, "Master Wanwang takes care of your body, there will be times to be sad in the future, but now you can't delay the business." The two words that the young lady left just now, do you know what the master means? ”

Hearing her say this, Master Yuan stopped howling, and after hurriedly drinking a cup of tea, he put down the clothes in his hand, walked to Mu Xiaowu's side, blinked his little eyes a few times, and said slowly, "Wooden harrier, it is a kite, my Lucheng is rich in kites, which is famous all over the country." But...... But if I want to say that the death of the little girl has anything to do with this wooden harrier, I really can't figure it out. ”

"You don't understand, but others may know why." As he spoke, Mu Xiaowu set his eyes on Ling'er who was standing aside, the little girl's lips were trembling now, and her eyes were full of panic, like a frightened bird.

Master Yuan suddenly understood, he walked to Ling'er's side in three steps and two steps, and said sharply, "You...... You say, "Are you hiding anything from me?" ”

After speaking, seeing that Ling'er's eyes suddenly overflowed with tears, he sighed again, and said in a slow voice, "You and Wei'er grew up together, they have a deep relationship, they are like sisters, and I also know that you are a loyal girl." But now that Wei'er is gone, and the real murderer has not been caught, do you still want to hide something from me? ”

Hearing these heartfelt words, Ling'er cried out with a "wow", she looked at Master Yuan, and said in a trembling voice, "A few months ago, Miss met a son on the outskirts of the city, his name is Chen Yong, and he is a scholar. From that day on, Chen Gongzi used a kite to pass books from the garden every three days, and Miss She would also reply to the letters, and the two had been dating like this for about three months. A month ago, on the day of the young lady's disappearance, she was waiting for Chen Gongzi's kite in the garden, because the kite somehow had not appeared for ten days, but the kite had not arrived, and she was gone. ”

Speaking of this, Ling'er cried and shook her head, "Master, I didn't deliberately conceal it, I thought that Miss's disappearance had nothing to do with the kite passenger, but when I heard Miss's words, I suddenly realized that maybe Miss's disappearance was really done by that Chen Gongzi......"

After hearing this, Master Yuan was stunned for a while, and then suddenly slapped his thigh, his eyes widened angrily, and he waved his hand at a few young and strong guys next to him, and said with hatred in his mouth, "Quick, catch that Chen Yong, escort him to the official mansion, the old man wants to sue him for seducing the people's daughters and not committing robbery and murder." ”

A few little guys rushed out when they got their lives, and they didn't want to be snorted by Mu Xiaowu behind them, so they hurriedly stopped.

"There's no need to be so troublesome," Mu Xiaowu tilted his head to look at the kite that was still hovering over the wall, and said to Ling'er, "Is the kite that Miss Yuan and Chen Yong passed down the book to this butterfly kite?" ”

Ling'er looked outside, was suddenly shocked, and panicked, "That's right, this kite is ...... It's Chen Gongzi's. ”

Master Yuan's fat face was flushed with anger, and he couldn't say anything, he pointed out the wall tremblingly, and ordered in a loud voice, "Quick, go and tie up that thief and escort him to the official mansion." With that, he hurried out of the house, following behind the little guys.

Mu Xiaowu couldn't call him, followed behind and stomped his feet, "Hey, you listened to me after I finished speaking, if he killed someone, why did he return to Yuan's house and fly that kite, isn't this a self-defeating net?" ”

***

Kneeling on the cold floor of the yamen, Chen Yong told him how he and Yuan Wei kite passed the book together, and he talked about how they met, how they knew each other, and how they became confidants by means of letters. also talked about how he was seriously ill a month ago, so sick that he couldn't even get out of bed, so that he delayed his private meeting with Yuan Wei.

In the end, Chen burst into tears, because he never expected that this illness would be goodbye, and this person he had only met once but regarded as a lifelong confidant would never be seen again.

"I didn't kidnap and kill, and that night, I didn't go to Yuan's house at all. Take 10,000 steps back, even if I go to Yuan's house, why should I kill her? In my last letter, I had already told Miss Yuan that I would ask my parents to come to my door and marry her, why should I kill my future wife? Chen swore by a curse on the heavens and the earth.

Master Yuan sneered on the side, "I, Wei'er, is everyone's young lady, how can I make a private agreement with you for life, I think this is completely your wishful thinking." If you can't succeed, you will be angry and ashamed, so you will climb over the wall and enter the hospital, plunder and kill people. Lord County Commander, my favorite Yuan Daoqiao is this little daughter, my Wei'er died miserably, you must be the master of the little people. ”

Cao Min, the commander of Lucheng County, was dizzy by the rhetoric on both sides, and he had a troublesome matter recently, so he ordered the official to take Chen Yong down first, and then bring him to the court for interrogation one day.

Master Yuan saw that Chen Yong had been taken into custody, so he took the Yuan family and the others to leave first, Cao Min had a moment of purity, and was about to rest for a while, but saw the curtain behind the hall move, and a tall figure in official uniform came in.

Cao Min hurriedly got up and bowed, "Lord Zhao, why are you here?" ”

The man smiled and leaned over to pick him up, "Lord Cao doesn't need to be so polite, I just came back from outside, and I happened to pass by the court, and I happened to hear that my lord was trying the case." ”

Cao Min heard what he said, and hurriedly said, "My lord...... Interested in the case? ”

The man's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, "I just heard from the informant that he found two Jianghu warlocks and hooked Miss Yuan's soul by the method of 'embroidering souls'. ”

Cao Min was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "This kind of godly and ghostly thing can never be counted as evidence, and it needs to be investigated again, and people can't be convicted because of one-sided words." ”

"What's the name of the two spellcasters?"

The man seemed to interrupt Cao Min and asked something that puzzled him.
