Chapter 65: The Sound of the Wheel
If it is said that it is on the side, but at this point, Gu Ruoli is the most mindful, Jin Yue has been "dead" for two years, and there is no movement in his stomach, which is really annoying.
The doctor said that Xu was a matter of the year, which hurt the root cause and needed careful recuperation. After two years of recuperation, her body has completely recovered, but there is no trace of an heir, and everyone below is whispering, saying what karma is, and when she arrives at the doctor, there is only one sentence left: fate has not arrived.
Even the imperial doctor in the palace couldn't say why, and Gu Ruoli's heart was even more bottomless.
You must know that at the beginning of the marriage, Song Yan treated her very well, the two of them were like glue, and that kind of thing happened every night. She still remembers the madness in Song Yan's eyes on the wedding night, and the joy of hugging her in her arms the next morning.
Later, Song Yan gradually became less happy, as if he realized the importance of Jin Yue, and began to treat her coldly, and went to Jin Yue's courtyard one by one, and finally didn't come to her room at all.
Jin Yue is gone, Song Yan's soul is gone, and later ...... He simply went to look for it.
Looking in all directions, out of Kyoto City, city by city, as long as her bones are not found, Song Yan will not stop. Every time he came back, he would inevitably be beaten by the prince, but the injury healed, the prince was not in Kyoto, and Song Yan would run out again, and no one could stop him.
So Gu Ruoli hated, gritted his teeth. Why did Song Yan obey her before, but then ignored it? Is it true that if you get it, you won't cherish it, and if you can't get it, you're ready to do it?
It's just that no one thought that they would really be able to see Jin Yue again.
returned to Yanwang Mansion, Gu Ruoli was the gentle, generous, beautiful and weak Concubine Gu in the eyes of everyone, and she couldn't find a mistake in her words and deeds.
Song Yan was standing in the corridor, and Gu Ruoli immediately greeted him.
"Little Prince!"
It was that indifferent glance that made Song Yan suddenly clasp her arm angrily, "You went to the backyard?" β
Gu Ruoli subconsciously shrank back, his eyes were full of horror, "Little Wangye, I ......"
There was a burst of pain on the scalp, and it was Song Yan who pulled her hair in a bun, the weight of the force and the rudeness of her demeanor, which directly ripped off a few of her green silks. The ink crow hair ornament forgot to take it off, so it was put on her bun and appeared in front of Song Yan.
It's no wonder that Song Yan was angry, he explicitly forbade anyone to step into the backyard, but he didn't expect Gu Ruoli, the side concubine, to take the lead in breaking the rules.
What is the backyard?
That is where Jin Yue has been living since he entered the mansion, every grass and tree, every table and chair in it are all traces of Jin Yue's existence, if it is damaged, it will never be restored to the original.
This is the same as the ink crow hairpin, which was given by Song Yan, personally ordered someone to build it, and personally gave it to Jin Yue.
Why blackcrows?
At the beginning, Prince Yan asked Song Yan to marry Jin Yue as the little princess, Song Yan was full of dislike, and after rebellion, he specially made people create this thing, which is not gold or silver, pitch black as ink, and is decorated with a black crow, which means that the crow flies on the branch, and still can't escape the fact that it is still a crow.
He didn't allow her to take it off, and ordered her to wear it every day, which was a humiliation he gave, and she didn't know it, but she never resisted, and she did whatever he said.
As for when she took it off?
Later, Song Yan thought about it for a long time, it seemed that it was after being poisoned!
At that time, her face was as white as paper, as thin as a piece of paper, and her eyes were not as smart as before, as dim as a candle about to be extinguished, and only a weak fire remained, as if her life was about to die.
Holding the black crow hairpin in his palm, Song Yan slashed at Gu Ruoli, "You went to the Fu family?" β
Gu Ruo took half a step back, but she didn't expect it to be broken on a hairpin, she was just about to explain, but Song Yan roared completely, "Why are you wearing this to her?" What heart do you have in peace? β
"Little prince, I ......"
"This king never wants to see you again!" Song Yan brushed his sleeves away.
"Little prince! Little Prince! You listen to my explanation, you listen to my explanation......" Gu Ruoli was so anxious that he burst into tears, and rushed forward, but was stopped by Cheng Nan and watched Song Yan disappear at the end of the corridor.
She knew that she had touched his scales, but she didn't expect his reaction to be so big, if she really cared about Jin Yue, why didn't she care before, she had to regret it after she left?
Sure enough, what you can't get is always the best.
Song Yan went to the backyard.
This place, when Jin Yue was still "alive", he almost never came, even if there was something for her to do, it was all for people to pass on the word, and he never stepped on it easily, because he felt dirty, and felt that the residence of such a lowly person was not worthy of him to step into.
The only time I stepped in, it was to take his life.
At that time, his first feeling was disgust, the Yanwang Mansion was magnificent, but it was very cool here. A plane tree, a well, and a few rooms, as simple as a farmhouse, with the only furnishings being a few pots of bluegrass in the corners.
After she left, the bluegrass was left unattended, and by the time Song Yan woke up, the bluegrass had already frozen to death, and now there were only a few empty pots left.
The bedroom is also very simple, with a weapon rack, a dresser, a table and four round stools, and there is not even a decent furnishing.
There is only a wooden comb on the dresser, and it is a very simple hosta, the material of the hosta is very rough, you can buy one for a few pennies on the street, there is no carving and no fancy, just like her, she will not talk about it, it is simple at a glance.
Song Yan put the black crow hairpin back on the table, stood in front of the dressing mirror, and turned his head to look out the door.
The old sycamore tree in front of the door, in autumn it will fall all over the yellow leaves, she often sits on the edge of the well, a basin of water, wiping her sword, or stepping on the yellow leaves all over the ground, breaking the wind and dancing the sword, the sword wind is sharp, but the movement is so smooth, clean and neat.
It's just that after she left, everything here seemed to die with her, dim.
"Little prince?" Cheng Nan saluted, "The prince is waiting in the study, let you go over." β
"Got it." Song Yan came back to his senses and walked out of the courtyard without looking back.
Jin Yue...... Jin Yue...... Is there really no way back?
"Haqiu!" Jin Yue sneezed fiercely, stunned at the door of Shangyi Courtyard, and scratched her head slightly, "Someone is scolding me behind my back." β
Shuangzhi smiled, "It's obvious that the young lady is greedy for cold, and the slave maid will go to make you a bowl of ginger soup." β
"Don't!" Jin Yue shook her head, "I'll just drink more hot water, I don't need ginger soup, do you hear?" β
Frost Branch nodded, and followed Jin Yue into the door.
Jun Shan saluted, "Young lady, the prince has been waiting for you inside for a long time. β
"Wait for me?" Jin Yue frowned, "I want to know, how do I deal with Gu Ruoli?" β
Junshan shook his head and didn't say anything.
Carrying the hem of her skirt and trotting into the door, Jin Yue glanced at Fu Jiuqing who was sitting at the window, bit her lip and brushed the folds of her clothes, slowly walked to Fu Jiuqing, and sat opposite him.
The man in the shimmer had thick eyelashes and skin as white as jade, just like the white porcelain doll she saw on the street that day.
It's beautiful, but it's also fragile.
Slender fingers, turning over the yellow scroll, he raised his eyelids to look at her, and continued to read with his eyes down, "Is it fun?" β
"Didn't you see it, when Gu Ruo left, his face was extremely ugly." Jin Yuegu poured herself a glass of water, drank two sips, grabbed a pine nut candy from the sugar jar on the side, and quickly stuffed it into her mouth.
Well, that's sweet.
"I'm not interested in her." Fu Jiuqing's face was pale, and his tone was also light, looking very arrogant.
Jin Yue took a bite of the pine nut candy in her mouth and looked at him thoughtfully, "Then can I ask you a question?" β
Fu Jiuqing didn't speak.
"Why did she send me fabrics and jewelry?" Even if he didn't say anything, she still had to ask, "The Fu family doesn't lack these, it seems that she is a bit of a trick to do this, not to mention that I was so clear to her in Hengzhou before, why can't she understand it, and she has to come up again?" β
She finished in one breath, and he remained silent.
Jin Yue frowned and said in a low voice, "That material, I look a little familiar, but the strangest thing should be the black crow hairpin." I don't know what's wrong, looking at the hairpin with a sad feeling, I don't know why? β
The sound of "pop" was the sound of the book in Fu Jiuqing's hand being thrown on the table.
Jin Yue sat up straight suddenly, looked at the person in front of her, and stared at her coldly. I was stunned, she said it was wrong? Could it be that this crow hairpin really has a story? It's just that this story...... Fu Jiuqing didn't like it very much.
"Y-What's wrong with you?" Jin Yue pursed her lips and looked at him in a daze.
The cold wind whistled by, and the room seemed to be suddenly cold, especially Fu Jiuqing's eyes, which were so cold and warm, as if they had condensed frost and snow that could not be dissolved, and the tongues trembled.
She didn't know what was wrong with him, but after so many days of getting along, she clearly felt the coldness from him.
He was angry, inexplicably angry, and even the green tendons on the back of his hands were slightly raised, but the look on his face did not have much emotional fluctuations.
Jin Yue didn't dare to move, until the yin owl in his eyes faded a little, she stretched out her hand, as he did before, gently stroked the back of his hand, and brushed his hair.
Fu Jiuqing looked at her slightly worried look, and finally lowered her long eyelashes and hid the cold glint in her eyes.
"I didn't move those things, I put the black crow hairpin on her bun with my backhand, and she forgot to take it off when she left!" Jin Yue stared at her for a moment, for fear that he would be angry again, "Those ingredients were soaked in tea by the frost branch, and I threw them all in the warehouse, I don't like the color, you know, I only like the light blue color on my body." β
As she spoke, she shook her hair slightly.
Fu Jiuqing raised her eyebrows, looking at the jasper hibiscus hairpin she obediently wore on her head, in the shimmer, the light blue color reflected her inky green silk, which looked so tight.
Suddenly, Fu Jiuqing narrowed his eyes, "Very good!" β
She didn't know if he was very good, whether she listened to him obediently and wore the hairpin he gave her, or whether she fought back against Gu Ruoli and returned beautifully. Of course, no matter what it is, as long as he doesn't get angry, otherwise she will definitely suffer at night.
Early the next morning, Fu Jiuqing took Jin Yue to the mansion.
Su Lizhou's speed was also fast, not only did he give Jin Yue a few suitable headcatcher suits, but he even made the token by the way, "This mansion has been reported to the imperial court, and the time has come to drop the book, don't regret it." β
Jin Yue felt weird, this dress was worn on her body, and it gave birth to a somewhat familiar feeling.
In her memory, it was as if someone had asked her a few words.
What are you talking about?
"What do you want to do when you grow up?"
"Be a majestic catcher."
"Can you make a little more interest?"
"Headcatcher?"
ββ¦β¦β
Taking a deep breath, Jin Yue spun around in front of Fu Jiuqing, "Is it good-looking?" It fits perfectly. β
Su Lizhou snorted lightly, naturally it fits, the Fu family even sent it to the tailor, it is almost the same as tailor-made, and it was made overnight, I don't know what is wrong with this rush to be a head catcher?
Fu Jiuqing didn't speak, just glanced at Su Lizhou lightly, "The people have been sent out." β
In this way, Su Lizhou breathed a sigh of relief.
Jin Yue was wearing the clothes of the public head catcher, after all, she was a little unaccustomed to it, standing on the side of the carriage, she looked at Fu Jiuqing who was about to get on the car and leave, "Do you want to leave me like this?" β
Mingzhu and Frost Branch stood in the doorway, looking at each other, not knowing what to say.
Slightly cool fingertips, gently rubbing her smooth forehead, he bent down and kissed lightly on her eyebrows, like snowflakes falling, cool, fluttering, "Yue'er has to learn to be alone, understand?" β
Jin Yue looked up at him, the tip of his nose was full of the familiar aura of a man, lingering...... Toss and inhale into the lungs and quickly spread to the heart.
In the backlight, he bent the corners of his lips, and his inky pupils were full of her shadow.
Fu Jiuqing left, and Jin Yue stood in place, watching the carriage disappear from sight.
"It's the first time I've seen my wife as a head catcher!" Su Lizhou touched his chin and looked at An Kangsheng with a little puzzlement, "Do you know what he means?" β
Master An shook his head, "Unfathomable! β
Hearing this, Su Lizhou nodded in agreement.
In two days, it will be Princess Yan's birthday banquet, and the whole Kyoto will be completely lively, so this case should not be delayed, and Bai Xiong must be found as soon as possible. But looking at Jin Yue, who was dressed as a public headcatcher, Su Lizhou made another difficulty, the words were said by himself, and he regretted it in his heart, what should I do?
In front of the morgue door.
Su Lizhou said earnestly, "Jin Yue, since you have entered the prefect's yamen, you have to abide by the rules here, although you are a woman, you can't be an exception, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public, what do you think?" β
Jin Yue nodded, it's this reason.
Su Lizhou said, "What is being done now is this case, you have to start from the beginning, straighten out the clues, and clear the case. β
Jin Yue is not uncommon, she hasn't even figured out why she is here! It's just that she doesn't want to disobey Fu Jiuqing's intentions, and she turns around and provokes him, so she doesn't want to sleep again at night.
"The corpse is the least deceiving evidence." Su Lizhou coaxed her in, "Understand?" β
When ordinary women see these things, they are afraid that they will be scared, and when the time comes, they will be frightened, crying and shouting that they want to go back to their husbands, then it is none of his business Su Lizhou, and it is not his own business.
"Understood!" Jin Yue blinked, and before she could understand, she was pushed into the room.
Frost Branch and Mingzhu immediately followed, and then the next moment, Frost Branch quickly ran out, lying on the railing and retching, "Inside, don't go in the young lady, it's too smelly, it's ...... vomit."
Mingzhu also frowned unhappily, but after all, she was a person who practiced martial arts, and she had never seen anything, so naturally she would not be like Frost Branch. Looking at his young lady again, it seems that he ...... Not affected at all?
But didn't the young lady tell that the young lady's nose was too smart, so don't let her smell too irritating?
How......
"This is the skeleton that was dug up from the winery?" Jin Yue asked.
He saluted, "Yes!" β
"It's well preserved." Jin Yue's eyebrows frowned slightly.
Because of the sake brewing, to a large extent, the original state of the corpse has been preserved.
"Yes!" He nodded, "It was suffocation, and there is still an injury to the back of the head, and now it is determined that it is a blunt instrument injury, and the humble duty compared it with the stone he brought back that day, and the dent is very similar." β
The stones were placed on the tray on the side, and there was some dirt on the side, all of which were slowly scraped off the corpse, but because they were attached to the corpse, they could be regarded as evidence, and there could not be any damage until the case was concluded.
"The smell on the stone from before ......," Jin Yue pointed.
"Luo Zhutou said, it could be a wild cat." "Anyway, it's the smell of animal urine." β
Looking at the surroundings boredly, Jin Yue was not afraid at all.
Mingzhu was very surprised, even she, a person who practiced martial arts, looked at the white cloth all over the room at first glance, and her heart was full of panic, but her young lady seemed to be commonplace, and the color on her face should not be, and she was calm and calm, so that Mingzhu secretly respected a little.
"What is this?" Jin Yue looked at a small white spot in the soil, took the tweezers on the side with her sleeve, gently pulled it twice, and then picked it up with tweezers, "It seems to be a bone, right?" β
"Such a small bone?" Mingzhu didn't quite believe it.
He immediately walked over and quickly took a clean dish to carry the white thing. The tweezers tossed and turned for a while, pretending to be shocked, "This is indeed a bone!" β
"Mouse bones?" Mingzhu was surprised.
"No, it's not!" His face turned blue, and even his breathing changed, "It seems to be ...... Baby's bones! β
Jin Yue's eyes widened suddenly.
Child?!
Su Lizhou waited outside the door for a long time, watching the frost branch vomit to death, and he didn't dare to enter the morgue again, thinking that Jin Yue, the pampered young lady of the Fu family, should run out soon.
Behold......
"Why hasn't it come out yet?" Su Lizhou looked at An Kangsheng in surprise, "Master, what do you think?" β
Master An looked at him with a little disdain, "My lord, you are not very authentic, Fu Gongzi promised you, but you regretted it." β
Being poked through, Su Lizhou laughed dryly, "This is the ...... of this mansion Good for her. β
Master An shook his head, "I think that the young lady may not be as you wish. β
"How so?" Su Lizhou didn't believe it, when an ordinary woman saw this, she couldn't run yet, could she still get up?
If you don't believe it, you won't believe it if you kill it!
However, the next moment, Qi Zuo hurriedly came out, and saluted Su Lizhou respectfully, "Lord Prefect, Jin Zhutou has found a clue." β
Su Lizhou: "......"
Master An sighed lightly, "My lord, does your face hurt?" β
Sure enough, you can't talk big...... If you go back on your word, you will be slapped in the face.
The small bone that Jin Yue accidentally found was the bones of an unformed fetus, which had been miraculously preserved due to the environment of the winery, but because it was too small, after the mother's white ossification, the fetus also fell into the soil layer, mixed with the soil, and it was difficult to see clearly.
Because the month is not large, it is not even found, and this skeleton is not only a young woman, but also pregnant.
"My lord, your face is not very good, is it uncomfortable?" Jin Yue asked puzzled.
Su Lizhou's face was pale, he covered his face silently, and said unwillingly, "Toothache ......"
Master An raised his eyebrows slightly, and secretly laughed.
The pregnant young woman died in the old house of the Bai family, and Bai Zhen's death is enough to prove that this matter is related to the father and son of the Bai family, so at the moment, as long as Bai Xiong is found and brought to justice, it is almost the same as asking for a confession.
But where is Bai Xiong?
In the dark alley, Bai Xiong hides in a dirty basket.
At the end, there is an even darker place.
The sound of the car ringing sounded, and Russia stopped again.
Bai Xiong quickly lifted the basket, and there was a disgusting smell of rancid smell all over his body, and there were rotten vegetable leaves hanging on his clothes, which showed that he was embarrassed.
"Idiot!" There was a low and cold voice.
Bai Xiong paused abruptly, "Who the hell are you?" You...... What do you want? β
"It's just enough to kill your father, you also killed that maid and found death yourself!" The man's tone was full of mockery, "Now that the entire government is searching for you, you have no way to escape." β
"YouβCan you help me? I don't want to die, I don't want to die! It's the one who the old thing killed, it has nothing to do with me, it's not me! Bai Xiong was in a hurry, he was already desperate, he couldn't even run out of Kyoto City, he picked up some leftovers during the day, and could only hide in this kind of corner at night.
He has always been pampered, where can he endure this kind of suffering.
There was a pair of white hands stretched out to him, slender and slender, looking white and tender, very beautiful. On the fingertips hangs a bag of beautiful roses, bright red as blood.
"Take it!" The man spoke coldly.
Bai Xiong quickly took it and was about to open it.
"Don't open it yet." The man added, "I'll send you out of the city." β
"Why are you helping me?" If someone hadn't sent a letter saying that the people from the government had already obtained evidence and wanted to arrest him, why would he have escaped from the Bai family overnight and ended up in such a field.
The sound of the wheels of the car faded away, and the man's voice became more and more ethereal, "Because I don't like good people." β
There was a sudden crisp sound on the ground, Bai Xiong lowered his head, and threw a burden under his feet, which was opened to be a bag of silver, and there was a note in it: Tonight, the west gate will go out of the city, and destroy it after reading.
Breathing slightly, Bai Xiong was ecstatic, put away the bag, swallowed the note alive, and fled to the west of the city with the silver.
Out of town!
Just get out and you're all right!
No matter who he is, there is so much silver in the baggage, enough for him to have a good time and go out of the city!
At the same time, Luo Zhutou got the news: tonight, Bai Xiong is out of the city!
