"Smack!"

"I don't eat it, I said it, I don't want to eat these things anymore."

"Qing'er."

"Accept your fate, my illness can't be cured, I can't stand up."

"Qing'er, don't say that, I won't allow you to say that. You're going to get better, you're going to be able to stand up. ”

"Take a concubine."

"What do you say?"

"I'm crippled, I'm a complete cripple now. You have been good enough to me, from the time you gave birth to Xinyi to the present, you have taken good care of me, and you have never disliked me for a moment. But I'm tired, I'm tired of days. Choose another girl who is pleasing to your heart, and if she wishes, you will keep me, and if she does not, you will send me to the mountains. I don't have any other requirements for her, as long as she treats Xinyi well and doesn't let her go hungry and freeze. ”

"Qing'er, do you know what you're talking about? I promised you that I would never look at any other woman in this life except you. ”

"That Ruyi girl is good, and Xinyi likes her very much. I can see that you also have a crush on her. ”

"No, I didn't!"

"My leg is crippled, but I'm not blind in my eyes and I'm not deaf in my ears. You don't have to be nervous, I'm not angry, and I'm not qualified to be angry right now. If you're too embarrassed to speak, I'll find an opportunity to help you speak. ”

"Qing'er, don't be like this. I was wrong, I shouldn't have looked at her twice, but I looked at her just because she looked like you at the beginning. I only have you in my heart, really only you. Well, drink the medicine, and soon you will be fine. I, you, Xinyi, we are a family, we will be very happy, and we will always be happy. ”

"I won't drink these things anymore, and you won't hurt people anymore." The woman's voice lowered: "God has eyes, you let me drink these, how can I be good?" ”

"Qing'er—"

"I'm tired and want to rest. Let's go, I won't drink or eat these things. ”

With a "squeak", Xing Ruyi knew that the conversation between the innkeeper and the shopkeeper's wife was over. Her guest room was on the second floor, and she opened the window to see the bedroom where the shopkeeper's wife lived. At this time, she was leaning against the window, and only closed the window when she saw the shopkeeper come out of the bedroom.

"Torture girl."

As soon as he closed the window, he heard a knock on the door, and when he opened the door, he found that the person standing at the door was the same catcher he had met earlier.

"Official."

"Yang Sheng, Yang of the poplar tree, and the promotion of the official and wealthy, they all call me Da Yang."

"Since you said so, then I will also call you Dayang."

"Hmm!" Yang Sheng nodded: "The case is ......"

"Have you heard of the Immortal Fang?"

Yang Sheng stared at him and shook his head slowly.

"It is said that this fairy recipe is a secret recipe left by the gods, eating it can be immortal, eternal youth, and what is more amazing is that it can resurrect the dead and restore the disabled to health."

"Nonsense."

"It's nonsense, but some people believe it."

"Who?"

Xing Ruyi stretched out his hand and pointed down: "You can't tell others, I told you about this." Alas, if it weren't for the sake of leaving this town as soon as possible, I wouldn't have done this kind of betrayal of my friends. ”

"The inn—"

"Shh Xing Ruyi made a silent gesture: "When I was eating barbecue that day, I accidentally heard Xiaobai and them mention this fairy recipe, which is said to have only emerged in the past two years. The proprietress of this inn should know about the paralysis of the lower body due to an accident during childbirth, and I was also curious at the time, so I asked casually, saying that there is such a miraculous prescription in this world, why didn't the shopkeeper find it for the proprietress to take. As a result, Xiaobai, who was eating meat, replied, saying that the shopkeeper had already bought it for his wife. The shopkeeper drank some wine, and when he saw that I didn't believe it, he took out a small bottle from his bosom, and there was still half a bottle in it. Curious, I took it and sniffed it. As a result, guess what's that smell? ”

"What smell?" Yang Shenggang finished asking, and then his face changed: "Could it be that it is-"

"I'm not sure, but it's not far from ten, and the bottle should be filled with the blood of the girls who were victimized."

"Without evidence, I can't ask the innkeeper about it."

"Haven't you always been good at doing this? Before, at the bazaar, didn't you also have no evidence to take me to the county office, why did you talk about the rules at this time? ”

"It's different."

"What's the difference? Oh, I see, you bullied me before because I was a girl's family, and I came from out of town, and I was helpless and lonely here, so you have nothing to fear, right? The shopkeeper of this inn is a local, in case one is not handled well, you are worried that his family, relatives and friends will come to you for trouble. ”

"Since I have done this yamen's quick catch, I have never thought of being afraid of trouble. When I say different, I mean something else. ”

"Something else?"

"The lady of the innkeeper and my family are also distant relatives, if it is not handled properly, I am afraid that it will only affect my family."

"It turns out that it's such a different one, forget it, for the sake of you being embarrassed, I won't care about you."

"Thank you Miss Xing for the clues, I will continue to investigate this clue." Yang Sheng got up, arched his hands, and prepared to leave.

"How are you going to check? Did he follow the innkeeper all day long, or did he arrest him privately for questioning. ”

"I won't ask the girl about this."

"I can't think of asking, but I can't help it, who told you that if you can't solve this case, I won't be able to leave." Xing Ruyi tapped his face: "That's it, how about we invite you into the urn?" ”

"Please enter the urn?"

"yes, I volunteered to be bait to help you catch that murderer."

"This-" Yang Sheng shook his head: "As far as I know, there is no trajectory for that murderer to kill people, even if the girl wants to help, how can I let that murderer come to the girl." ”

"I don't have to think of a way, he'll come to me. Wait two more days, and within two days he will surely strike. As for me, there is only one request, if he is caught, the crime will not affect the family, okay? ”

"The girl seems to know who he is?"

"Probably, but not surely, I also hope that the person who came to me is not him." Xing Ruyi held his chin: "Okay, the words are all over, Da Yang, you can go." ”

Two days later, the killers who were ambushing around the inn caught the murderer. When the black cloth on his face was removed, except for Yang Sheng and Xing Ruyi, the rest of the people showed surprised expressions.

The murderer is none other than the shopkeeper of this inn, the shopkeeper who usually greets people with a smile and is very kind to everyone.

"He's not a murderer, I'm the one I am."

Just as the catchers were about to escort the innkeeper away, the woman who had always been in the backyard crawled out of the house.

"Qing'er! Qing'er! The shopkeeper began to struggle, and while struggling, he roared: "Xiaobai, Ah Wang, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and help Mrs. up." ”

"Official, let him go, he's not a murderer, I'm it, I'm it. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have killed people at all, the recipes he found, the people he killed, and the medicines he made were all for me. ”

"Qing'er, no, no, no." The shopkeeper shook his head as he tried to get closer to his lady.

Xing Ruyi shook her head, walked to Qing'er's side, pointed to the shopkeeper and asked her: "You said that he killed people for you, so do you know why you became the way you are?" ”

"Everyone in the city knows that I became like this because of my heart."

"You're lying, you're the way you are. When you are happy for three months, you will find that this husband who was originally good to you no longer cares about you as much as before, is considerate of you, and even ignores you. You think that he is tired of work, and you are becoming more and more gentle and considerate to him, but gradually you find that it is not like that at all. He fell in love with someone else, and that person was a girl with a good family background, and it was impossible for such a girl to be his concubine. Thou art his original wife, and thou art his child in his womb, and if he had divorced thee at that time, he would have drowned in the spit of the city. He thought about it and came up with a brilliant idea, that is, to deliberately create an accident when you give birth, preferably with two deaths, and completely solve the trouble of your pair. ”

"No, it's not! Not what you said! ”

"You overheard his conversation with someone, you knew he was going to harm you, you tried him, you knew he had made up his mind, and you were disheartened. The child was born, but your legs were disabled due to an accident and you couldn't get off the ground for the rest of your life, and that girl had already promised someone that she wanted to get along with him, but she was just teasing him. When he learned the truth, he regretted not being at the beginning, so he tried his best to make up for it. ”

"He's just a little bit of a ghost, and he's done enough in the past four years."

"Indeed, if he can keep treating you as before, it can be regarded as making up for your infatuation, but he shouldn't have done it, and he shouldn't have used his crooked brain. It's true that he is looking for medicine for you, but it is also true that he bullied those women. ”

"How do you know those women have been despised by him?" Yang Sheng asked suspiciously, "Except for the pretense, only the people in our yamen know about it." ”

"I said I was counting my fingers, do you believe it?" Xing Ruyi made a fortune-telling gesture of pinching his fingers: "I said that I can see the ghosts of those victimized women, do you believe it?" I know you don't believe it, so it's up to you to just guess. The point is, did I guess correctly. ”

"Did you do it? Did you really do it? Qing'er stared at her husband with a pale face: "You don't dare to speak...... If you don't dare to speak, you admit it, right? ”

"Qing'er, I'm sorry, I don't mean it, but I ...... You dislike yourself and don't want me to touch you again, I'm ashamed of you, and I don't want to take a concubine back to make you angry. I didn't really want to do anything to them when I started, I just needed blood, and I needed to use their blood as a medicine primer to save you. But what happened later...... I can't help myself, I can't control myself, I can't convince myself. Qing'er, I'm sorry, if you really have a next life, I hope you don't meet me again. ”

"How do you know it's him, just because of that immortal Fang?" When escorting the shopkeeper away, Yang Sheng quietly asked Xing Ruyi.

"Because he intended to do me wrong." Xing Ruyi said, turned around and went back to the room. After closing the door, he said, "Master, I know you're here, come out!" If you don't come out again, I'll send myself to the wolf's den next time. ”
