When the villagers came to report the case, Lu Tingxiu was handling official business in the internal office, Qiao Fengwei came with a food box and winked at him playfully, "Lord Lu, it's time to eat." ”

Lu Tingxiu stretched his waist and sat down to eat with chopsticks. Qiao Feng took a step ahead of him, took a piece of beef and handed it to his mouth, and said with a smile: "I made it myself, you can taste it." ”

He raised his eyes and glanced at her, and said lightly, "Don't make trouble, there are people outside." ”

Qiao Feng stubbornly raised her chopsticks, but Lu Tingxiu couldn't resist her, so she reluctantly ate it.

A smile like a silver bell sounded, and Qiao Fengwei sat directly on his lap, wanting to drill into his arms.

Lu Tingxiu pushed her away and said with a headache: "Xia Chubby, don't make trouble." Senior Tu was still working on the floor in my room last night, and he went out this morning like a thief. When I'm done with what I'm doing, I'll take you back to Beijing to find an antidote. ”

Qiao Feng's eyes fell silent slightly, "Ruthless Gu, where is the antidote." ”

"Of course there is, in the hands of the Queen Mother."

Qiao Feng was slightly stunned, and Lu Tingxiu smiled confidently, "The emperor has promised me that as long as he does a good job in Lin County, he will have a way to get the antidote from the Queen Mother." ”

"Really?" Qiao Fengwei's eyes were blazing.

"I grew up with the emperor since I was a child, and he never broke his word to me." Lu Tingxiu's tone was firm, "When your poison is cured, I will take you back to the Hou Mansion, and we will visit the church and get married." ”

Qiao Fengwei was overjoyed, and then gloomy, "I'm just a peasant girl, will your family really accept me?" ”

"It's a big deal, I asked the emperor to give marriage, and they didn't dare to object."

Qiao Feng smiled and excitedly rushed over to hug Lu Tingxiu.

"My lord, it's not good." Xu Mingliang rushed in in a hurry, "Someone is dead!" Hey, Sister Xia, you're here too. ”

Lu Tingxiu put down his chopsticks, "What's wrong?" ”

"There was a homicide in Xiajia Village, and some villagers found a corpse and a headless horse corpse at the foot of the mountain."

After hearing Xu Mingming's report on the case, Lu Tingxiu frowned, "You mean, the incision on the horse's neck is flat, and it was directly cut off by a sharp weapon in one fell swoop, and there is no continuous cutting?" ”

"Yes, it's really a hell of a life, such a big horse neck, even if it is a sharp knife, no matter how strong a person is in martial arts, it is impossible to cut it with a knife and leave traces."

"What about the corpses?" Lu Tingxiu asked, "Have you found out the identity of the deceased?" ”

"I was gnawed by a wild beast, and I was bitten to the point that only the bones remained, how could I still recognize it?" Xu Mingliang shook the blood-stained towel cloth in his hand on the table in disgust, "This was picked up by the villagers from the scene, and the deceased should be a man." ”

Lu Tingxiu looked at the scarf, glanced at Qiao Fengwei and said, "I remember, you seem to have this kind of scarf." ”

Qiao Feng leaned over slightly to take a look, "It seems that there is such a piece." ”

Lu Tingxiu ordered to go down and ordered the catchers to go quickly.

He went by himself, but he walked to the door and paused again, turned around and said, "Xia Fatpang, aren't you going?" ”

Qiao Feng shook his head slightly, "I didn't go, so I didn't have to see the Xia family, and I got into trouble again." ”

Lu Tingxiu didn't force it, and left with Xu Mingming.

As soon as the person left, Qiao Fengwei's face sank. She packed up the food box and hurriedly left the yamen.

The food box was thrown at the mouth of the alley, Qiao Fengwei put on a scarf, and before the people of the county government, he rode a fast horse and took a shortcut straight to Xiajia Village.

Out of the scene, Lu Tingxiu didn't come back until dusk.

Burning incense to bathe in obscurity, he asked, "What about the predecessors of Tu?" ”

"I haven't come out of the room all this time." Xiao Shao lowered her head and said worriedly: "Grandpa Tu didn't eat three meals, and he didn't let people go in and disturb him." ”

Lu Tingxiu frowned, "Xia Chubby, please don't move?" ”

Xiao Shao bowed her head, "I was scolded." ”

It's okay for the old man not to eat or drink, so Lu Tingxiu personally went to invite him.

After a while, Old Man Tu went to the table to eat.

Qiao Feng whispered and quietly asked Lu Tingxiu, "My master has been inexplicably irritable these days, and he doesn't even give me a good face, how did you do that?" ”

"Why are you two so close?" Old man Tu glared at Qiao Feng slightly, the chopsticks almost didn't poke her face, and said angrily: "Are you tired of being alive, or do you want to be crazy about men?" Sit down for Lao Tzu. ”

Qiao Fengwei sat back in his position and clamped the chicken leg for him, "Master, you are old, why are you doing so strong?" ”

Wei Ge, who was eating silently on the side, suddenly said, "Sister Xia, the dishes you made are salty." ”

"Is there one?" Qiao Feng raised his chopsticks slightly and tasted it, "No." ”

Lu Tingxiu didn't eat lunch, he was really hungry, so he couldn't help but add another bowl of rice, looked up and said to Qiao Fengwei: "Not bad." ”

The smile was bright and plump, and Qiao Feng's heart was full of joy, and his eyes were like autumn waves. The jade foot under the dining table leaned over, as if there was nothing to tease......

Lu Tingxiu didn't say a word, put down his chopsticks and got up after eating.

Qiao Feng was slightly stunned, what about her feet?

Looking up, Old Man Tu's face was black, and his eyes widened eager to beat her to death, "You knocked the medicine?" "Evil beasts!

Qiao Feng stroked his forehead slightly.

Lu Tingxiu paused and looked back at Old Man Tu, "Senior, if you encounter a tricky case in the next place, can you move to the study at night?" ”

"Look for me at every turn, do you look good as a magistrate?" After Ma Yu finished scolding, Old Man Tu thought of his unpromising apprentice, and decided that he couldn't let her around his back anymore, so he immediately changed his words and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, I'll go when I'm done eating." ”

Alas, I really don't understand this dead girl, no one used to make do with the two of them, but now it's so complacent that I can't stop it.

"You have nothing to do with Maodan, don't keep thinking about men." The tone was rather disgusted.

In the study, Old Man Tu pinched his goatee and pondered, "Do you suspect that the corpse is Qiao Fengwei?" ”

Lu Ting repaired his head, "The body was gnawed by wild beasts to the skeleton, judging from the few accessories and clothes found at the scene, the deceased was dressed as a man, but judging from the pubic bones, it was clearly a woman, aged about fourteen to eighteen." ”

Old man Tu was puzzled, "That doesn't prove that she is Qiao Fengwei." ”

"Judging by the horses, the body was dead for at least three days. The clothes found at the scene were in tatters, but I knew that Xia Qiu had an identical set of clothes. ”

Old man Tu's face changed suddenly, "You mean it's Xia Qiu who died?" ”

"Senior, don't worry, if the inference is correct, Xia Qiu has been with me that day, and he happened to be wearing the same clothes as the deceased."

Old man Tu's heart was pounding, "You mean Qiao Fengwei disguised herself as Xia Qiu and went to Xiajia Village?" ”

Lu Tingxiu nodded, "I visited Xiajia Village, and the village chief confirmed that Xia Qiu had come and dug in front of the burned house, and the village chief's expression was not very natural, and she didn't want to see the Xia family, so she sent it away with money." ”

Old man Tu pondered, slapped the table for a while, and scolded: "This poisonous woman really has the means, she is exactly the same as Xia Qiu, what does she want to do, does the dove occupy the magpie's nest?" ”

"She has already pretended to be Xia Qiu before, and she thinks it is Wei Weixiao, otherwise it is impossible to deceive Hua Ting."

"She deceived Hua Ting, so she is not afraid of deceiving you too?" Old man Tu glanced at him, and suddenly said something amazing.

Lu Tingxiu was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Do you think there is something wrong with Xia Qiu these days?" ”
