Chapter 220 - Snake Hundred Grass (4)
"The smell of blood?" Xing Ruyi sprayed some perfume in the air: "Theoretically, if it is a very faint smell of blood, it should be able to be covered, but it will not be covered for too long, because the smell will dissipate." If it smells of blood, I'm afraid I can't help it. ”
"Can't you cover it?"
"It should not be covered, but there is one exception."
"What's the situation?"
"To explain, under normal circumstances, people use a few drops of perfume, and when using perfume, just like I just did, just spray it lightly twice. The purpose of this is because the smell of these perfumes or perfumes is too strong, and if you spray too much, the fragrance will be so strong that people can't stand it. But if the person who buys perfume or perfume, the original purpose is to cover up a certain smell on his body, he will spray a lot of it, or even simply apply it to his body. If this is the case, then the thick bloody aura may be concealed. ”
Chang Tai squinted his eyes and looked at the fragrant cedar on the table without speaking.
"Brother Chang, your assumption is very counterintuitive, but whoever buys perfume or perfume, most of them are people who prefer to be clean, like to be clean and clean, and when they go out, they are also fragrant, which one will walk with a bloody body. This waste is not only the things in this small bottle, but also the hard-earned silver, not to mention ordinary people, even the relatives of the emperor, the richest man in Luoyang can't stand such a bad thing. This little bottle is a tael of silver, and if you use it that way, you will get one bottle at a time, and this thing will be almost dissipated if it lasts for two hours at most. ”
"Good girl, Ruyi girl, you can really make money, this small bottle will cost one or two silver, and my monthly income is only a little bit." Xiao Shengzi pinched his fingers.
"If you make less money yourself, you can say that I am cheating." Xing Ruyi stretched out his hand and poked at Xiao Shengzi's head: "My fragrant fir is troublesome to make, one or two silver, it is already a super low friendship price." ”
Xiao Shengzi touched his head and didn't speak again.
Xing Ruyi said to Chang Tai: "This is often in contact with bloody qi, such as butchers, meat sellers will not use these things, not to mention waste, it is not of much use." This murderer won't be used. Everyone has been killed, so you have to wash it and walk all over the street. If you don't even bother to wash, you are estimated to be desperate for life, and you don't care about whether there is a smell on your body at all. Wait, am I a little off track? Brother Chang, what did you just ask me? What you are asking is, what did Zhu Changxi buy in my shop? Could it be that the one you said wanted to cover up the smell of blood on his body was Zhu Changxi? No, he was standing across from me, and I sprayed him with some fragrant cedar. I have a good nose, I don't smell anything else. ”
"That, Ruyi girl, have you ever encountered such a situation?" Xiao Shengzi leaned over: "That's the kind of thing, sometimes you can smell a strong smell, sometimes you can't smell it." Or maybe you can smell it at night, but you can't smell it during the day? ”
"Nightshade?" Xing Ruyi knocked Xiao Shengzi's head: "This night fragrance is only when it blooms at night, and you can't smell it at all during the day." ”
"Yes, yes, it's like this night." Xiao Shengzi was not annoyed either, and giggled.
"It's like this night, I don't think you two are a little weird today. People are weird, and the words they say are even more weird. ”
"It's not that we're weird, it's that Zhu Changxi is too weird." Xiao Shengzi lay on the table, looking a little depressed: "Didn't you tell Miss Ruyi just now?" This Zhu Changxi was not originally called Zhu Changxi, but the son-in-law of the Zhu family. Ruyi girl, you have also seen this Zhu Changxi, you have a good impression of him, right? The lord of the Zhu family, his wife and the young lady also have a good impression of him, and even the relatives and friends of the Zhu family, the neighbors have a good impression of this Zhu Changxi, but he is such a person who has a good impression, but what he does is weird. ”
"I'm going to get dizzy when you go around, what's wrong with this Zhu Changxi?"
"This matter has to start from the beginning, about ten days ago, the master of the Zhu family, that is, Zhu Changxi's father-in-law, ran to the yamen in the middle of the night to beat the drum and voice the grievances, saying that his daughter was killed by his son-in-law Zhu Changxi. When the old man heard that this was a life lawsuit, he was promoted to the hall overnight, not only called the master of the Zhu family to the hall, but also called Zhu Changxi.
Since Master Zhu said that his son-in-law Zhu Changxi killed his daughter, the master has to ask clearly. How did Zhu Changxi kill Miss Zhu and what was the reason? When did he move his hand, where was the man, and where was the body? But what about Master Zhu, as soon as he didn't know three questions, he bit it to death, saying that his daughter was killed by Zhu Changxi, and said that his daughter told him in a dream. The daughter was trapped in a very dark place, with a little light around her, and through that light, you could see some snake skins, very big snake skins.
This Zhu Changxi just stood in the hall and shook his head. When the adults asked, he said that his old father-in-law was sick. As for why he got sick, it was because his wife, that is, the daughter of Master Zhu, Miss Zhu disappeared. ”
"Miss Zhu is missing?"
"It can't be said to be missing, it can only be said to be missing."
"Is there any difference between this missing and missing?" Xing Ruyi asked curiously.
Xiao Shengzi scratched his head and said: "This is missing, there is still a possibility of finding it, this is gone, probably it can't be found." I don't know what the difference is between the two, but the old man of the Zhu family bit him to death, not to say that his daughter was gone, but because he was killed by Zhu Changxi, a guy with a beast's heart. ”
"How did Miss Zhu disappear?"
"I asked the people in the house, and the statement was the same as Zhu Changxi's. This Master Zhu has a younger sister, who suffered some emotional intelligence when she was young, and she became a monk in a nunnery in the mountains when she saw through the red dust. Every once in a while, Master Zhu would take Miss Zhu to visit her aunt in the mountains, and by the way, he would send some food that was in short supply in the mountains. ”
"This Master Zhu is quite good to his sister."
"Who says it's not, if it's someone else, maybe I still think it's this sister who has lost her family. Although this Master Zhu is not particularly rich and expensive, his family's business is acceptable, and he is not short of these silvers.
After the winter, Master Zhu's health was not good, so he asked Zhu Changxi to accompany his daughter and send some things to this sister before the heavy snow closed the mountain. The two of them left Zhu's house in a carriage together, but two days later, only Zhu Changxi came back alone. Master Zhu asked him, but he said that Miss Zhu wanted to stay in the mountains to accompany his aunt for a few more days, and asked him to go to the mountains to pick up Miss Zhu in two days.
Although this old man Zhu felt a little strange, he didn't ask in detail, thinking that his daughter and son-in-law had some dispute on the road, and there was fire in his heart, so he didn't want to come back with his son-in-law, thinking about living in the mountains for a while, and then talking about it when the anger subsided. A few days later, Master Zhu still didn't see his son-in-law Zhu Changxi go to the mountains to pick up his daughter back, so he urged him to go with him. When I asked in the mountains, I learned that not only was my daughter gone, but even Master Zhu's sister who was a monk and a nun was gone. ”
"Gone?"
"Yes, it's gone." Xiao Shengzi nodded: "There are seven or eight nuns living in this nunnery, the oldest is over seventy years old, and the youngest is only in his teens. The master of the Zhu family asked one by one, and they all said that the young lady of the Zhu family did live in the mountains for two days, but just before the master of the Zhu family came, she received a letter from a person. After reading the letter, she began to cry. It didn't take long for her to hurriedly pack up her things and drag the meditation master out of the nunnery together. After he went out, he never came back. ”
"What's in that letter?" Xing Ruyi asked.
"No one knows, it seems that only Miss Zhu has read the letter by herself, and when she left, she was also taken away with her. Therefore, I don't know what is written in this letter or by whom. ”
"Isn't there a messenger?"
"The person who delivered the letter, Miss Zhu was the only one who could see his appearance clearly. This nunnery is full of practicing nuns, and the messenger is a man. They were all embarrassed to look directly, but they only looked at it roughly, and felt that the person was dressed very ordinary, and the clothes were all common in daily life, and there was nothing special about being fat and thin, so no one knew who this person was. In short, the Miss Zhu family is gone, and the aunt and grandmother of the Zhu family are gone. ”
"Then what's the matter with this Miss Zhu family giving Master Zhu a dream?"
According to Master Zhu's own words, at the beginning, he didn't think about the disappearance of his daughter and sister with this son-in-law. Because the teachers and wives in the nunnery also said that their daughter did stay in the nunnery for a few more days, which is the same as what the son-in-law said before. When this daughter received the letter, Zhu Changxi was in the mansion, and there were dozens of people up and down the mansion who could testify for him. After learning that his daughter and sister were missing, his son-in-law Zhu Changxi was also very anxious, and even personally led people to search in the mountains for many days. ”
"This master of the Zhu family has no evidence, so why should he accuse Zhu Changxi of murdering his daughter or even his sister?"
"Because of that dream that Master Zhu had. In the folk, there is a saying that the soul is resurrected in seven days, and this Master Zhu dreamed of his daughter on the seventh day after Miss Zhu's disappearance. In the dream, Miss Zhu cried so miserably, she said to Master Zhu that her husband Zhu Changxi deliberately murdered her, and she didn't even have a corpse left until she died. After this old man Zhu woke up, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he ran to the yamen to beat the drum and complain to his son-in-law Zhu Changxi. ”
"And how was this case finally tried?"
"There is no trial, it is because there is no trial, and now this whole thing has become more weird and unpredictable." Xiao Shengzi sighed heavily, "It's not easy to be a little catcher." ”
