"You say, what are others doing at this time?" Yan Su asked, holding his chin.

Gu Changfeng thought for a moment and replied seriously: "The bride enters the door, at this time, it's time to go and give tea to her mother-in-law." ”

"Tea ceremony?" Yan Su asked and the bullet stood up: "Yes, why did I forget this." What to do? What to do? The old lady doesn't think I don't know the rules. ”

"Old lady, you should change your name to mother." Gu Changfeng shifted his body and reached out to hold hers: "Don't worry, my mother has already asked people to bring a message before, saying that you don't have to abide by these rules." As for her, she is also used to being quiet, and she doesn't like these cumbersome etiquette. ”

"You didn't lie to me?"

"Nope." Gu Changfeng let go of his hand and patted the side of the bed: "Come up." ”

"I don't!"

"Don't worry, I just want to hug you." Gu Changfeng half-closed his eyes: "I'm a little tired, hold you, and feel steady." ”

Yan Suwen thought for a while, obediently took off his shoes, carefully avoided the injuries on his body, and lay down to the side. originally thought that in such a sober state, next to him, his heart would be "banging" like a deer crashing, but it turned out to be very calm, or as he said, it was a rare peace of mind.

Realizing this, she leaned back against him, rubbing her head against him. Hearing a low chuckle from her belly, she looked up, only to see that he had opened his eyes at some point and was looking down at her.

"Aren't you tired?"

"I'm tired."

"Then why are you still keeping your eyes open?"

"Because I want to see you."

"What do you see me doing?"

"You're good-looking."

"Hypocrisy." Yan Suwen stretched out his hand and poked at him: "I know that I am not ugly, if I marry an ordinary husband and he praises me like this, I will think that he is sincere, and even think that he has vision." But you are different, you are Gu Xiang, Gu Xiang who has read all the flowers in the world, not to mention the side, but your Bai family sister, I can't compare. ”

"Haven't you heard that?"

"What?"

"A lover's eye is in the eye." Gu Changfeng hugged a little: "No matter how good others are, they won't be able to get into my eyes after all." ”

The soft love words seemed to have hypnotic magic, and Yan Suwen sank into a dream unconsciously. When I woke up, I saw the red in my eyes, and I was in a trance.

"Ma'am, but you slept stupidly?"

Gu Changfeng sat on the head of the bed, waving his hand in front of her eyes.

"It's not stupid, it's just that I'm not a little comfortable for a while." Yan Suwen also sat up.

"It's okay, in a few days, you'll get used to it."

"Before, I never thought it was good to be a man, but now I know."

"Huh?" Gu Changfeng looked at her inexplicably.

"When a man marries a wife, he doesn't have to leave his familiar environment, he doesn't have to go to great lengths to mingle with people he doesn't know, and he doesn't need to make himself work hard to adapt to the living habits of another family. Women are different, everything about her has to start over. ”

Gu Changfeng's eyes flashed, but he didn't speak.

Yan Suwen shrugged his shoulders: "Fortunately, I'm not blindly married, at least before I left the cabinet, I saw you and got along with you, and I knew that you would treat me well." So, Gu Changfeng, I am lucky. So, husband, what's the deal. ”

"What's the matter?"

"That's what it means." Yan Suwen leaned over and quickly kissed Gu Changfeng on the cheek.

Gu Changfeng looked at him, and his lips rose again.

Outside the door, Gu Yunfei had been standing for a long time, and when he heard movement in the room, he thought about it again and again, and then he mustered up the courage to knock on the door.

"Master, Lord Zuo, the servant of the Criminal Department, asks to see you! I've been waiting in the front hall for an hour. ”

Lord Zuo of the Criminal Department! Zuo Zongquan?

"That's him." Gu Changfeng got up: "The Criminal Department will never come to the mansion to look for me, even if they come to me, there must be something they can't solve." ”

"Could it have something to do with that?" Yan Suwen followed suit.

"I don't know, I'll go over and have a look first." Gu Changfeng said while dressing: "Youbai and Errong live in the courtyard next to them, if you have anything, just call them over." In addition, the housekeeper has also selected a few profitable ones, if you are empty, go and choose, and let the housekeeper take them out if you don't like them. If you are not satisfied, you will ask the butler and he will do so. ”

"No, I have hands and feet, if it weren't for my grandmother having to let the two of them follow me, I wouldn't want a single maid. are all petted by your mother's father, why should people serve you to eat and drink. Yan Suwen muttered as she tied Gu Changfeng's belt.

Her words, not a word, fell on his ears. Although I thought it was fresh, I didn't take it to heart. The prime minister's wife, who has no frame and no concept of dignity and inferiority, is certainly good, but she is not qualified.

With Gu Yunfei, before entering the front hall, Zuo Zongquan, the waiter of the Criminal Department, hurriedly greeted him.

"Xiangye!"

"Lord Zuo is in a hurry?"

"Don't hide it from you, exactly." Zuo Zongquan bowed his head: "Last night, someone found the bodies of several boys in Cheng'an Temple in the suburbs, and they didn't dare to announce it because the matter was too big. ”

"Cheng'an Temple?"

"Yes, the rumored haunted monastery. This temple was built in the previous dynasty and was once the place where incense was at its peak, but in the third year of the temple's construction, when some pilgrims stayed overnight, they heard the cries of children. He followed the cry to a lonely room in the backyard, where he saw a monk building a fire and boiling something in a pot. The pilgrim was curious, so he stood outside the window and watched for a while, but as the child's crying became louder and louder, the smell wafting out of the pot became more and more fragrant. The guest couldn't help but push the door, and the monk turned around, and it was a grimace with a green face and fangs, and then looked at the pot, it was clearly a child who was boiling.

After that, the haunting of the temple and the eating of children did not spread. The government sent people to investigate and found that there was indeed a lonely room in the backyard of Cheng'an Temple, but all the dry firewood in the room was piled up. When I moved away the dry firewood, I saw a half-collapsed stove and a tattered iron pot. Not far from the stove and the iron pot, several young bones were found. The emperor of the previous dynasty was furious, sent people to raid the Cheng'an Temple, and ordered all the monks in the temple to be executed. This is the famous infant eating case in the history of the previous dynasty.

When the previous dynasty fell, this Cheng'an Temple was also occupied by a group of ruffians, and the houses in the temple were seriously damaged. It is said that several ruffians also died in it. Later, I established the Great Wei Dynasty, and this Cheng'an Temple was also abandoned. ”

"Who discovered this case?"

"A beggar, an old beggar, crazy."

"Old beggar?"

"The lower officials have checked, and they are either from the Wuyi Gang, or an ordinary crazy beggar." Zuo Zongquan arched his hand: "This person is a native of my Yecheng, surnamed Li, named Li Mao, and nicknamed Li Sanyuan." Before he went crazy, he ran a tea house at the corner of Changle Street in Xicheng, and he was extremely mean, and he treated his wife and children by beating or scolding. ”

"How did he go crazy?"

About five years ago, when his wife, Liu, was sick at home, he took his only child to the tea house. In the blink of an eye, the child is gone. This Li Sanyuan had a big heart, thinking that the child had run out to play, but until it was dark, the child did not come back. When a father and his child disappears, the first thing he thinks of is not to go out to find his child, but to drink to relieve his boredom. Pity his wife Liu, dragging the sick body, walking the streets and alleys to find the child, and looking for most of the night. ”

"Did you find the kid?"

"Found it."

"Where did you find it?"

"Rulai in the stables outside the inn. The child lay limply on the side of the stable, covered in horse manure. After an inquest, the child was trampled to death by Ma Shengsheng, and all the bones on his body were crushed. Liu couldn't withstand such a blow, and immediately held the child and hit and killed the manger of the Rulai Inn. Because of this incident, the shopkeeper of the Rulai Inn was also imprisoned, and the Rulai Inn has become the current Welcome Inn. ”

"How old is that kid?"

"A little over three years old."

"How does a three-year-old get to the inn's stable?"

Judging from the investigation at the time, the child did not run to the stable by himself, but was carried to the stable of the Rulai Inn and abandoned after being trampled to death by a horse near the tea house. Because he couldn't tell the origin of the child, and he couldn't find the person who really trampled the child to death on horseback, in order to give Li Sanyuan an explanation, the shopkeeper of the Rulai Inn was imprisoned. After all, although the child's death had nothing to do with him, Li Sanyuan's wife, Liu, actually died in his stable. ”

"You handled this case?"

"No, no, no, it's not a lower official. Five years ago, Xia Guan had not yet entered Beijing, nor had he achieved the position of a squire. Zuo Zongquan wiped the cold sweat on his head: "Xia Guan also saw this file when he started to investigate, so he only knew about these things." ”

"Go on."

Not long after this incident, Li Sanyuan fell into a dry well because he was drunk, and he met a dog, and he was found and rescued by passers-by. The person was rescued, but this brain seemed to be stupid. Since then, he has become crazy, and people have changed from the original tea house shopkeeper to the current old beggar. Occasionally, he would think of his son and rummage around. ”

"How did he get to Cheng'an Temple?"

"This ......" Zuo Zongquan shook his head: "I don't know, his brain is not normal, and people are crazy, so he can't ask." ”

"Where are the bones of the child?"

"Hui Xiangye's words have been transported to the corpse of the criminal department last night. There were seven of them, all boys, but of different ages. Also, their deaths are a bit weird. ”

"Strange deaths?"

"Yes, these young children were all murdered, but their murderer seems to be a nervous abnormality." Zuo Zongquan's expression was extremely entangled, and he fiddled with his hands and feet to try to restore the posture of one of the children: "Just like this, the hands and feet are broken, and they are broken into a very strange shape. ”
