A horse stopped in front of the Ruyi Rouge Shop, and immediately sat a man, covered with snow.

In the shop, the smell of tea is overflowing, and the table is full of fresh fruits brought from the basement. These fruits are not easy to find at this time of year. In the entire Luoyang City, except for the inner garden where the emperor lives, it is estimated that they only have it in their wishful rouge shop.

The fruits, which the fox collected from various places before leaving the house, were preserved by special spells, and their effect was comparable to that of the refrigerator invented by later generations.

"What is that person looking at?" Through the curtain, the magpie saw a vague white shadow.

"Look at the words."

"Look at the words, look at what words? Do we have a word on the door? ”

"Yes!" Xing Ru pointed to the intention: "Ruyi rouge shop, five words, no more, no less." ”

"Is he illiterate?" The magpie frowned, leaned his neck and looked out: "When I was in the backyard just now, my sister said that this is an old man." Since you are an old man, do you want the magpie to go out to greet you? ”

"No, he'll come in on his own." Xing Ruyi stroked his stomach and sat down: "He recognizes the five words of Ruyi Rouge Shop." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the man sitting on the horseback casually dropped the reins, turned over and dismounted, and walked in without the slightest hesitation.

The falling snow on his body met the charcoal fire in the shop, and turned into water droplets in an instant.

"Is it cold?" Xing Ruyi handed over a stove.

"It's fine." Liu Sheng flicked off the remaining snow flakes on his body, put his sword aside, and sat opposite Xing Ruyi: "It's you, just like in the past, when it's cold, you hold on to the stove." ”

"It's different." Xing Ruyi held the stove in his arms: "I'm more afraid of the cold than before." ”

"Are you okay?" Liu Sheng's gaze moved down and landed on her bulging belly: "Counting the time, it should be this month, right?" ”

"Well, just for a few days." Xing Ruyi lowered her eyebrows, and her eyes had the kind of soft light that her mother exclusively had: "I have a hunch that this little guy in my belly is about to check out." ”

"What about the child's father, isn't he in the shop?"

"I've gone back to my hometown to run errands, counting the days, it's time to come back."

"Is it in time?"

"I guess so. This is all said that father and son are connected, although I don't know whether I am pregnant with a man or a woman in my womb, but flesh and blood are connected, and the father will have a little hunch. ”

"Really?" Liu Sheng looked at Xing Ruyi's stomach and was distracted: "I don't know what that premonition is." ”

"It's easy to want to know, find a favorite girl as soon as possible, get married, have a baby, and do it in one step. If you hurry up, we can also order a baby kiss for the children. ”

"The girl is easy to find, but the favorite is rare." Liu Sheng sighed: "Lin Hu has an accident. ”

"I've heard that." Xing Ruyi glanced at the magpie: "I have a bag in my shop to inquire, and this matter in Luoyang City can't be hidden from her ears and eyes." ”

"Do you know the wife of Yuan Shilin, the owner of Yuan Ji Buzhuang?"

"Hmm." Xing Ruyi nodded: "She is my guest, and she has bought things in my shop a few times." ”

"She's dead."

"Listen to the magpie, just before you come."

"Do you know how she died?"

"Murdered, the murderer hacked her to death with a saber used to catch fast, if nothing else, that saber should be known to you and me."

"It's Lin Hu's saber."

"Does he feel very ashamed, he has been a fast catcher for so many years, but he lost his feet in Luoyang and was framed and blamed."

"All the evidence at the scene shows that Lin Hu is the murderer who killed Mrs. Yuan."

"But you don't believe it, and I don't believe it either."

"Why don't you believe it?"

"And what about you, why don't you believe it?"

"Because Lin Hu has no motive to commit the crime." Liu Sheng looked at Xing Ruyi's eyes: "I received the order at the same time as Lin Hu, and I also came to Luoyang at the same time, and it was the female corpse found at the same time." It was my arrangement to let Lin Hu go to investigate, and Lin Hu found Mrs. Yuan according to the clues that happened in the past two days. To say that he had an adulterous affair with Mrs. Yuan is simply a fantasy. ”

"Love at first sight and love at first sight is not impossible."

"Others may be, but Lin Hu won't." Liu Sheng replied very affirmatively: "You know Lin Hu's personality very well, he is very arrogant about people and things, and he is not very open to women. I've worked with him for many years, and you're the only one who can keep him in his heart and remember all the time. If he really likes someone, that person must be very similar to you. ”

"You mean, Lin Hu likes me?"

"Yes, Lin Hu likes you. Since I met you, five out of ten sentences he has spoken to me have been about you. But he thinks that his liking is not the kind of liking between men and women, but more like between friends. He likes your difference, you don't like your affection, you don't pretentious, and he likes your style of doing things more. ”

"What about you?"

"Me?" Liu Sheng was stunned, and raised his eyes to look at Xing Ruyi: "I like it too." ”

"Like my unpretentiousness, my unpretentiousness, and my style of doing things." It was the first time that Liu Sheng was so straightforward, which made Xing Ruyi a little surprised.

"My liking is a little different from Lin Hu's, but it's not the kind that others think." Lin Hu avoided Xing Ruyi's direct gaze: "Lin Hu has no motive for committing the crime. He wasn't smart, but he wasn't stupid enough to kill with his saber. I know Lin Hu, his way of life, and his style of doing things, he will not provoke a married man, he will not like Mrs. Yuan, and he will not make such a mistake. ”

"What else?"

"I believe he is useless, in addition to the physical evidence left at the scene, there are also human witnesses. In addition, he had the time to commit the crime, and even left on his body the same thing as the crime scene - bloodstains, blood splattered at the scene. ”

"Lin Hu has been to the scene."

"From what is at the moment, yes."

"You came to me because you wanted me to help Lin Hu find evidence that had nothing to do with Mrs. Yuan's killing."

"Nope! I came to you because I suspect that you have a direct connection with Madame Yuan's death. The four eyes met again, but the emotions in each other's eyes changed subtly.

"You suspect me of being a murderer?"

"I'm a fast catcher, speaking with evidence."

"What about the evidence?"

"Mrs. Yuan has been burned." Liu Sheng took out a testimony: "This person's surname is Wang, and he is Yuan Ji Buzhuang's former partner. When Yuan Ji Buzhuang caught fire, he was in the shop. Through his dictation, I learned the truth about the fire in Yuan Ji Buzhuang that year. ”

"The truth?"

At that time, Yuan Ji Cloth Village was just a small shop, but Yuan Shilin, as the owner of the cloth village, had a different mind. When he was selling cloth, he met the youngest daughter of the owner of the dyeing shop, and the two got along for a long time and gradually developed a relationship. This matter reached the ears of Madame Yuan through the mouth of the young man, and she was so sad that she inadvertently knocked over the candle and lit the fabric stored in the storehouse.

At that time, Mrs. Yuan was already pregnant with Yuan Shilin's child in her womb. Because of the fire, the child was gone, and Mrs. Yuan herself was burned.

Afterwards, Yuan Shilin was remorseful and felt that everything was caused by him, so he swore to Mrs. Yuan that he would only love Mrs. Yuan for the rest of his life, and no matter whether he had children in the future, he would never take a concubine, and he would never let Mrs. Yuan down again. ”

"But he still failed in the end."

"Yes! Most men are the same, they are sincere when they swear, and when time passes, it is also true that they break their oaths at that time. Fortunately, this Yuan Shilin still remembered the original promise, and after getting along with the maid in the house, he found a reason to take the maid out of the Yuan Mansion for another placement.

The maid's name was Yan Hong, and she was bought by Mrs. Yuan from Ren Yazi at a great price, and she was also her attendant girl. ”

"What else?"

"Do you know why Mrs. Yuan spends a lot of money to buy a maid who is already sensible and not easy to deal with."

"Why?"

"Because Yan Hong is the youngest daughter of the owner of the dyeing cloth village who was good with Yuan Shilin back then."

"How is this possible?" Xing Ruyi didn't know about this matter, and Mrs. Yuan never mentioned it.

"This is the confession of the human tooth, and it gives a detailed account of everything." Liu Sheng handed another record to Xing Ruyi.

It reads, Yan Hong, who was originally the youngest daughter of the owner of the Suizhou dyeing and cloth shop, who was taken to Luoyang by her distant relatives due to family changes. Distant relatives are addicted to gambling and pawn it for sale, and then it was sold by Yuan at a high price in the hands of Fan Mou, a human tooth.

"Since it is Boss Yuan's old friend, why is Mrs. Yuan willing to buy it at a high price and stay by her side."

It was Yuan Shilin's idea to buy Yanhong, and at that time, Mrs. Yuan didn't know that the girl she bought from Renyazi was the youngest daughter of the dyeing shop owner who had been good friends with Boss Yuan in Suizhou in the past. When Yuan Shilin asked Mrs. Yuan to come forward, she probably didn't have the heart to rekindle this old relationship, but she couldn't bear to watch the old times be good and displaced, and she was bullied, while Mrs. Yuan thought that Yuan Shilin was sincerely thinking about her, and when she learned afterwards, she would inevitably resent. What made Mrs. Yuan even more annoyed was that the two of them rekindled their old relationship under her nose. In this matter, don't say that it is Mrs. Yuan, but it is difficult to let go of any woman in this world. Therefore, Madame Yuan has an absolute reason to want to kill Yan Hong, and Yan Hong also has the intention of killing Madam Yuan and replacing her. ”

"I didn't expect the Yuan family to have these pasts, and I couldn't imagine that Master Yuan's outer room was so confusing."

"Unconsciously, I deviated a lot from the topic." Liu Sheng put away the record about Yan Hong, and pushed the sentence Ruyi that the guy surnamed Wang stated before: "Let's say this confession first." According to the statement of the man surnamed Wang of Yuan Ji Buzhuang, the fire in Yuan Ji Buzhuang not only took away the unborn child in Mrs. Yuan's womb, but also ruined her appearance, but the Mrs. Yuan that Lin Hu saw in Yuan's mansion was unharmed. ”
