Chapter 367: Jingchuan
Dr. Qing agreed to help Li'er, so the matter was quickly settled.
When Liu Suyi brought Li'er into the palace, she was still a little unbelievable.
"Let's go." Shen Guiyan led her and walked towards Doctor Qing's medicine house.
Liu Suyi hugged Li'er, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke: "Miss Shen, you call Miss Liang...... Liang Erer ...... I remember it was the queen's name......"
Shen Guiyan stopped, turned his head to look at Liu Suyi, and said, "The queen has passed away, and Er'er just happens to have the same name as the queen." ”
"Oh." Liu Suyi nodded and didn't continue to ask.
Because, whether Liang Erer is the queen or not, it doesn't matter to her, what matters is how to save her daughter.
"Here we are." Shen Guiyan pointed to the medicine house in front of him and guided, "Doctor Qing is here." ”
"Yes!" Liu Suyi nodded emphatically and walked over with Li'er in her arms.
…………
…………
In the palace, Doctor Qing was directing the fourth year of junior high school, asking him to help Li'er remove the Gu poison from her body.
Liang Er'er, who has not received this news yet, is continuing to go north and head towards Nanchu.
And Xiao Shulun and Gao Jingchuan separated from Liang Erer and went to Liancheng to investigate the case.
Liang Erer and his party were safe and sound along the way, and they traveled while enjoying the mountains and rivers.
However, on the other hand, Xiao Shulun is not so easy.
Here in Liancheng, there is indeed a big case that can alarm the big case of Dali Temple.
From the beginning of the year to the present, more than a dozen girls have died one after another.
These girls all have one thing in common, that is, they are good-looking, and after being killed, most of the girls were ruined by the murderer.
The first case started at the time of the Lantern Festival. In other words, during the Lantern Festival this year, the girls in Liancheng went out to see the lanterns, and then a lady surnamed Huang was killed after returning to the Taoist home.
After that, there were successive murders of good-looking girls, and the murderers were rampant, and the government had nothing to do. I had to ask for help from the higher-level government until I got to Dali Temple!
So Gao Jingchuan and Xiao Shulun came to Liancheng together.
When the two of them rode horses and stopped at the gate of Liancheng, Gao Jingchuan looked at Xiao Shulun and said, "Wait a minute." ”
"What's wrong?" Xiao Shulun asked.
"I'm going to change my clothes." Gao Jingchuan said.
"Change of clothes?" Xiao Shulun tilted his head, "Didn't you just change it in the morning?" ”
Gao Jingchuan's expression was indescribable, and he said, "Wait a minute, you'll know." ”
Xiao Shulun shrugged, and then Gao Jingchuan turned his horse's head and walked towards the forest on the side.
After a while, Gao Jingchuan came out on horseback.
The horses are still the same horses, but the people ......
"You! You! Xiao Shulun's eyes widened, "Why are you wearing women's clothes?!" ”
Gao Jingchuan was not in a hurry, and replied: "Lead the snake out of the hole." ”
Xiao Shulun was smart, and as soon as his mind turned, he thought of Gao Jingchuan's idea.
"The murderers who were killed this time are all beauties...... So, do you want to ......" Xiao Shulun raised his eyebrows.
Gao Jingchuan nodded and said, "Let's not go to the government mansion first, let's go to the city as brothers and sisters and see the situation." ”
"Brother and sister?" Xiao Shulun shook his head: "It should be husband and wife!" You see, we all look alike! Although, they're all quite handsome! But the direction is different! You're beautiful, I'm handsome, we're ......"
Gao Jingchuan glanced at him, a little helpless, and said, "Whatever you want." ”
After saying that, he rode his horse and entered the city.
Xiao Shulun clamped the horse's belly, happily followed behind Gao Jingchuan, and entered the city together.
The streets of Liancheng are a little deserted, probably because they have been shrouded in fear for a long time, and when people here see outsiders, they are indescribably vigilant.
Xiao Shulun glanced at the streets here, most of the shops were still open, but some sold rouge gouache, and several of them were closed.
"Hey......" Just when Xiao Shulun was thinking about which inn to go to stay at, a voice came from behind him.
It was a little boy's voice.
The boy was eight or nine years old, dressed in tattered clothes, his face was dirty, and he could not see his appearance, and he carried a bowl with a notch in his hand, and a little beggar.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Shulun looked at him.
"Is this your lady?" The little beggar pointed to Gao Jingchuan.
Gao Jingchuan didn't speak, Xiao Shulun smiled so much that his eyes were crooked, and said, "Yes, he's my wife, what's wrong?" ”
"Let your lady be blinded." The little beggar reminded, "Here, those who look good will be killed!" ”
Xiao Shulun and Gao Jingchuan glanced at each other.
"What's going on?" Xiao Shulun dismounted and asked, "You still kill people here?" ”
"It was opened months ago." The little beggar said, not only looked at Gao Jingchuan, he had never seen this beautiful person, the little beggar was a little embarrassed, he rubbed his hands, "Anyway, bring a veil!" ”
After that, it's time to leave.
"Wait a minute." Xiao Shulun called out to him, then walked over and put a piece of broken silver in the little beggar's hand, "Little brother, I have a question for you." ”
"You say." The little beggar rubbed the silver on his chest, and then put it into his garment with great care.
"Where is the best inn here?" Xiao Shulun asked.
The little beggar pointed to the front and said, "You keep walking, go to the end, turn east, the biggest one is." ”
"Thank you."
The little beggar took the silver in his pocket, and when he saw that Xiao Shulun was fine, he turned around and ran, as if he was afraid that he would take the silver back.
The little beggar walked away, Xiao Shulun turned his head to look at Gao Jingchuan, and said deliberately: "Lady, why don't we go buy a veil to cover it?" ”
Gao Jingchuan was speechless and looked at him.
Xiao Shulun smiled and whispered, "Just kidding, kidding." ”
"Let's go, let's go to the biggest inn and rest......" Xiao Shulun said.
Gao Jingchuan nodded.
…………
…………
The inn that the little beggar said was indeed the largest inn in Liancheng.
When Xiao Shulun walked in with Gao Jingchuan, it happened to be lunchtime, and there were many people sitting in the lobby.
When the two walked in, naturally, Gao Jingchuan's appearance attracted a lot of attention.
"Guest officer!" The shopkeeper greeted the two diligently, and when he saw that it was a foreigner, he hurriedly asked, "Do you live in the hotel?" Our rooms here are the most comfortable! ”
"Stay in the hotel." Xiao Shulun glanced at the people around him, and then asked the shopkeeper, "Is there a private room?" ”
"Yes! Yes! The shopkeeper said, "It's the price ......."
"I want the best private room." Xiao Shulun waved his hand, and it seemed that he was not bad for money.
So the shopkeeper warmly welcomed the two into the private room.
Xiao Shulun ordered a table of dishes.
Gao Jingchuan saw that the shopkeeper had gone out, and said to Xiao Shulun, "Where did you get the money?" ”
Xiao Shulun said: "Didn't my little cousin leave my uncle's business to me to take care of? This is the kind of boss down there who honor me. ”
These money is still during the Chinese New Year, those people are filial to Xiao Shulun, but Xiao Shulun has his own money, and secondly, the third son of the General's Mansion is not short of money, so he has not touched this money.
"This time, I'll come out with you." Xiao Shulun looked at Gao Jingchuan and said, "In addition to investigating the case, I also want to learn from my little cousin and enjoy it!" ”
Gao Jingchuan shook his head and didn't speak.
"Guest officer, the dish you want is here...... shopkeeper brought the last dish.
Xiao Shulun threw a piece of broken silver to him.
The shopkeeper smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth: "Thank you, master!" Thank you! ”
Xiao Shulun said: "Don't be in a hurry to thank you first, I have some things I want to ask you." ”
"Master, just ask!" The silver given by the people is still warm in his hand, and the shopkeeper knows everything.
"When my wife and I came, someone stopped us and told my wife to buy a veil to cover her face...... Xiao Shulun paused, and then said, "And said that you had a murder in Liancheng?" ”
When the shopkeeper heard Xiao Shulun's question, his originally relaxed expression also drooped.
He sighed, "I'll tell you the truth, I was just trying to remind you of this." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Gao Jingchuan and said, "Madam, you are very good-looking, in our Liancheng, you must be careful, especially at night, you must not go out." ”
"What the hell is going on?" Xiao Shulun asked.
In fact, the case file sent to Dali Temple has already written the occurrence of the case, but Xiao Shulun and Gao Jingchuan believe more in this kind of oral account of the common people.
The shopkeeper collected the money, and he was also dutiful, saying: "The matter has to start with the Lantern Festival......
What he said was not far from what was recorded in the case file.
"Especially that Miss Ruan......" The shopkeeper shook his head.
Miss Nguyen?
Xiao Shulun remained silent, and there was no mention of this Miss Ruan in the case file.
"What's wrong with her?"
"I heard that she was also defiled by the murderer!" The shopkeeper said, "The face is ruined!" Her death was the worst! ”
Xiao Shulun asked again: "Have you seen it?" ”
"I'll see you!" The shopkeeper said, "My family lives near Ruan's Mansion!" I happened to pass through the alley where Miss Ruan was killed! And there you see! ”
"That's a coincidence, you're freaking out, aren't you?" Xiao Shulun is not slow or slow, and he is good at persuasion.
"Uh-huh!" The shopkeeper kept nodding, he recalled the scene of that day, frowned, and said, "When I saw Miss Ruan's body, Mrs. Ruan was lying on Miss Ruan crying!" You didn't see it, Miss Ruan's clothes were torn into strips of rags! ”
"That's really miserable......" Xiao Shulun sighed.
"That's right!" The shopkeeper clenched his fists and said angrily, "If you want to say that those murderers are also hateful!" Don't go to the country and kill the enemy! Scourge the girl's house here! What a shame! ”
"Those?" Xiao Shulun emphasized "some".
"How do you know it's some murderer and not a murderer?"
"Because someone has seen it!" The shopkeeper said, "The maid of the Li family has seen the appearance of the murderer, and the family of the Sun family has also seen the appearance of the murderer, and what they said is completely different, so we all say that it was done by a group of people!" Besides, there is only one person, how can this be done? ”
Xiao Shulun looked at Gao Jingchuan.
That's not what it says on the case file. It is clearly written above that the murderer may be a Jiangyang thief, hiding in the mountains.
Even the city magistrate searched the mountain several times, but did not find this person.
There was really no way, so I turned to Dali Temple for help.
Xiao Shulun asked some clues from the mouth of the shopkeeper, some of which were useful, and some of them were the speculations of the people themselves, which could not be taken seriously. After asking about it, Xiao Shulun asked the shopkeeper to leave.
"What do you think?" When the shopkeeper went out, Gao Jingchuan spoke.
"I think ......," Xiao Shulun said seriously, "If we don't eat again, the food will be cold." ”
Gao Jingchuan: "......"
"Hurry up and eat! Dine! Xiao Shulun served vegetables to Gao Jingchuan and said, "After eating, I will go to the county government to show my face." ”
"Okay." Gao Jingchuan nodded and said, "Let's see what the magistrate says." ”
"Yes!"
…………
…………
After eating, Xiao Shulun waved to Gao Jingchuan and turned around and went to the county office.
Here, Gao Jingchuan plans to change into men's clothes, and then bring a veil and go to the street to investigate.
However, before he could start changing his clothes, there was a knock on the door.
Gao Jingchuan stopped unbuttoning his clothes, he walked to the door, stopped, he could be sure that it was not Xiao Shulun at the door.
Who would that be?
Gao Jingchuan opened the door.
Then, I saw a girl standing at the door, not very young, about seventeen or eighteen years old, ordinary looking, but smiling.
"Ahh The girl tilted her head and smiled, and said, "I'm sorry, I went to the wrong room." ”
Gao Jingchuan did not speak.
Glancing up and down at the girl.
At the same time, the girl was looking at him.
Gao Jingchuan paused, did not close the door, and let the girl look at him.
"You're not from Liancheng, are you?" The girl asked.
Gao Jingchuan nodded.
"And where are you?" The girl said, patted her chest and introduced, "Forget me, I'm from Liuzhou!" I came to Liancheng to visit my relatives, but it's a pity that my relatives moved away! I can't help it, so I live here......"
Gao Jingchuan listened to her chatter and finished a lot.
"What about you, ma'am." The girl asked.
Gao Jingchuan's eyes rolled, but he still didn't speak.
The girl in front of her either went to the wrong door, she came for him.
Because, the way she looked at him was obviously inquiring...... Also, she calls him "Madame".
Now that Xiao Shulun is not in the house, how does she know that there is a "husband" by his side?
Since he knew that the other party had a purpose, Gao Jingchuan also took advantage of the situation, and he smiled at the girl.
The first beauty in the world smiled, it was simply that the ice and snow melted, and spring returned to the earth, even the girl couldn't help but be stunned. A flash of jealousy flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared into nothingness.
Gao Jingchuan didn't let go of any expression on her face, pretending that he didn't know anything.
He dodged away and let the girl walk into the house, Gao Jingchuan blocked her face, turned over the pen and ink from the baggage, and then wrote "Hello" on the paper
"You, you can't speak?" The girl was surprised.
Gao Jingchuan nodded, and as soon as he spoke, his identity was revealed.
"That's it......" The girl's expression was complicated, and she couldn't tell if it was more of a pity or more of a gloating.
