Chapter 1: The Secret Room

Next Chapter

"It's just a minor operation, don't be nervous! It's over with a good night's sleep! ”

"Before we begin, Miss Wen, would you like to see something? Yours... New face? ”

Wen Qing opened her eyes, but her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, and there were many white figures in front of her, as if someone was holding a photo in front of her.

"You see, this is a photo that our staff has just composed, we will start from this position, first open your nasal cavity, your nose bridge needs to be a little higher, the frontal bone is a little higher, we will cut off a little bit, so that your face will look more three-dimensional, as for the skin on the face, ......"

Wen Qing didn't listen to what the man said later, something blindfolded her, she couldn't see anything clearly, which made her heart irritable, and she kept rubbing her eyes vigorously.

Finally, the fog in the eyes cleared!

The first thing that catches your eye is a photo, and she will have plastic surgery as it looks, or rather, after plastic surgery, she will be what she looks like in the photo!

But she only glanced at it, and there seemed to be countless worms wriggling in her throat, and in that photo, it was clearly a rotten face, and dense maggots hung on that face......

"How about Miss Wen, are you still satisfied?"

The owner of the voice finished speaking, like a waiter in a restaurant who had just finished ordering! I respectfully ask you, miss, do you need anything?

Wen Qing resisted the urge to vomit and looked at the person who spoke, it was a man in a white coat, he was not wearing a mask, his face...

Wen Qing finally couldn't help it and began to retch violently!

Wen Qing's vomiting sound seemed to attract the attention of the others in the operating room, and they stopped what they were doing and turned their eyes around, and their eyes fell on Wen Qing!

Wen Qing vomited for a while and slowly raised her head, her gaze just catching into their gaze.

After a brief look at each other, Wen Qing jumped out of bed, screaming, the cramped operating room seemed to come to life, as if it was going to devour her, she was going to escape from here, now, immediately, immediately...

Because, the face of each of them is exactly the same as the face in the photo, the face that is rotten and pus-kept, crawling with dense maggots...

They squirmed slowly, their mouths open and closed, as if to say, "Miss Wen, are you still satisfied?" ”

Wen Qing woke up from the bed suddenly, and she was already shocked into a cold sweat!

It's that dream again......

She lifted the tent and hurried to the wooden table, where a basin was resting with a little water.

Wen Qing buried her face in the basin, and the cold cold water slowly pulled her back to reality!

A month ago, Wen Qing followed a friend's introduction to a plastic surgery hospital for birthmark removal plastic surgery, and there was a large dark red birthmark on the left side of her face, extending from the corner of her left eye to her jaw, covering almost half of her face.

Wen Qing is a female paper character, usually always giggling and grinning, and she doesn't care about having such a big birthmark on her face, until one day, she meets someone she likes!

Look at you, willow eyebrows, big eyes, small nose bridge cherry mouth, and a standard melon seed face, if it weren't for this birthmark on your face, you must be a big beauty!

More than one person had said such things to Wen Qing, but she had always disagreed.

After meeting that person, Wen Qing began to dislike the birthmark that had accompanied her for more than twenty years!

She decided to go for plastic surgery.

But she didn't wake up again, or rather, in another dynasty!

She traveled to 612 A.D., and even if she didn't have a good history, she knew that this dynasty was called the Sui Dynasty! An almost shortest-lived dynasty in history, only 38 years in existence!

But that's not the saddest part!

What's even more tragic is that she crossed over to a person with the same name and surname as her and the same birthmark on her face, this person is from Yihongyuan......

A woman in a green house!

Wen Qing raised her head suddenly, wiped the water on her face with a cloth towel, and sat down in front of the dresser on the side! In front of the hazy bronze mirror, he curled his hair into a bun and inserted a hairpin, even though it has been a month since he crossed over, it is still very clumsy to do this!

After washing, Wen Qing sat for a while, and then put on a veil to cover the half of the birthmark face.

According to the host's memory, Wen Qing was sold to Yihong Courtyard by her parents since she was a child, and in ancient times, people like Wen Qing with large birthmarks on her face were considered extremely ugly, and she could only travel with a veil on her face every day in Yihong Courtyard!

Because the bustard said that he would be afraid that she would scare the guests!

Although she is in Yihong Courtyard, because of her ugly appearance, Wen Qing is not allowed to pick up customers, so she can only do chores such as laundry and tea, pouring water and delivering meals every day.

Is this a little crack in the door that God left for her?

But that's not all bad, she eats coarse tea and cold rice every day in Yihong Courtyard, wears linen clothes and cloth skirts, and lives in a dilapidated house.

Do you want to spend the rest of your life here like this?

Wen Qing would ask herself this question every day when she woke up.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Xiaohong hurriedly ran in and pulled Wen Qing out of the aisle, "Xiaoqing, come with me!" ”

Xiaohong is the female worker who does chores with her, in modern terms, that is her colleague!

Wen Qing has a good impression of her, because she is the only one who doesn't dislike Wen Qing's ugliness, the kind from the heart!

Wen Qing was a little painful by her, "Where are you going in a hurry?" ”

"The people from the Criminal Department are here! Come to us for a question! ”

After running for a while, Xiaohong slowed down!

On the first floor, Wen Qing saw that almost all the people in Yihong Courtyard had gathered together, the scene was silent, there were several officials and soldiers in the uniforms of the Criminal Department standing in two columns, at the end was a room, the door of the room was open, everything in the room was cleared out, only a long table remained, the long table was covered with paper and ink, one person was sitting in front of the long table, and a pawn was standing next to him grinding ink!

Xiaohong pulled Wen Qing into the crowd.

Then a man came out of the room, holding a tube in his hand, and he beckoned to the crowd, and the bustard of Yihong Yuan ran over.

"Everyone's here?"

The old bustard lowered his head, not daring to look at the man at all, "Lord Hui, there are forty-eight people in Yihong Courtyard, all of them have arrived!" ”

The man unfolded the tube, and there was a list of densely packed on it!

"Yue Cuihong!"

Yue Cuihong walked out of the crowd and walked briskly towards the room with her head down!

Xiaohong tilted her head slightly and whispered to Wen Qing, "When the adult calls your name, you go into that room!" ”

Wen Qing nodded!

Yue Cuihong came out after a while after entering! Stand on the other side!

And then the next one!

Everyone went in and came out quickly, and then stood aside!

Two days ago, the top brand of Yihong Courtyard was found dead in the room by the bustard, the doors and windows of the room are all latched, and the latches are behind the back, which cannot be opened from the door or closed outside the door!

However, when Allure was discovered, all the doors and windows in the room were bolted from the inside, and there was only one body in the room, but there was no trace of the murderer!

The murderer is gone!

Murder in a closed room?

"Wen Qing!"

Wen Qing was thinking about this murder case that had been making a lot of noise in the past two days, when she suddenly heard the official call herself!

Xiaohong hurriedly pulled the corner of Wen Qing's skirt, she saw that Wen Qing was in a trance, thinking that Wen Qing was afraid, so she whispered comforting, "Don't be afraid, you will answer truthfully whatever the adults ask!" Adults won't embarrass us! ”

Wen Qing's mouth opened slightly, but she didn't say anything, and nodded at Xiaohong! And I went in!

In the room, the official who didn't know what the official looked up and saw Wen Qing slightly stunned!

"Why are you veiled?"

"The folk girl looks ugly, I'm afraid of scaring the adults!"

Wen Qing wants to die! If she goes on like this, she really thinks she's ugly, isn't it just a fetal mark on her face? Her facial features are still very good, okay?

The official is not very old, he is thin and small, but he is white and pure, not like a cadre in the criminal department, but like a scholar!

The scholar raised his pen and began to ask, "You painted the makeup of the girls in Yihong Courtyard?" ”

"Yes!"

After crossing over, Wen Qing found that these Qinglou women basically didn't know how to wear makeup, and either painted their rouge as thick as a city wall, or painted like vampires!

Because of the birthmark on her face, she learned makeup, and her technique is not bad.

Since she volunteered to help a girl put on makeup that day, she has been out of control, and almost all the girls in Qinglou have come to her to put on makeup!

"So you also painted Allure's makeup?"

"Yes!"

"But we didn't find any rouge gouache on Allure's face!"

"The night before the incident, after I finished putting on the makeup of the girl in Allure, she told the girl that she didn't have to come over to put on her makeup the next day!"

"Why is that?"

"That night, Li Gongzi made an appointment with Allure, and Allure told the folk girl that she wanted Li Gongzi to see her without fandelity, and she wanted to know if Li Gongzi would like her when he saw her true appearance!"

"Who is Gongzi Li?"

"Li Shang, the son of the salt merchant Li Ming!"

"Li Shang likes Allure?"

"I don't know this folk girl, but the girl from Allure has revealed that she likes Li Gongzi and seems to have true feelings for Li Gongzi!"

The scholar put down his pen and said, "Okay, you can go out!" ”

Wen Qing turned around to leave, but she turned back again.

She bit her lip and stood still!

The scholar raised his head and saw that Wen Qing was still standing in place, and frowned, "Didn't you hear what I said?" You're good to go! ”

Wen Qing's eyes were clear, staring straight into the scholar's eyes, "My lord, the people can solve this case!" ”

As soon as these words came out, several officers and soldiers in the room looked over here!

The scholar opened his mouth slightly, thinking that he had misheard, and he asked incredulously, "What did you just say?" ”

Wen Qing said slowly, "The people said that the people can solve this case!" Moreover, only the people's daughter can solve this case! ”

The scholar slapped the table and said angrily, "Nonsense! Dare to speak outrageously if you are bold and dare to speak out? Is it true that there is no one in my criminal department? Come on, pull out 50 palms! ”

Two officers and soldiers came over, one left and one right, grabbed Wen Qing's shoulders and dragged them out!

"Your Excellency... My lord..."

Wen Qing was caught and couldn't move at all, how could this be the result?!

She actually has no clue about the case, and the reason why she said that is just an exaggeration to arouse their curiosity!

As long as she can be exposed to this case, she will be confident! Because she was originally a criminal policeman! What I do best is solve crimes!

But the other party doesn't play cards according to the routine at all!

Her body has been malnourished for a long time, and her previous body is simply the same as heaven and earth, and these 50 slaps will not kill her, but she will be beaten half to death!

Wen Qing is going to despair!

"What's going on?"

As soon as she left the door of the room, Wen Qing heard a voice say. At the same time, the two officers and soldiers stopped!

"Lord Hui Langzhong, this folk girl said that she can solve the murder case in Yihong Courtyard!"

The officer on the left said.

"And said that this case can only be solved by her! Lady Wai Lang asked us to give her a slap! So that she can remember it for a long time! ”

The officers and soldiers on the right are added!

Wen Qing turned her head and saw a handsome man standing behind her, this man's face was white, his face was angular, and he was heroic! But what Wen Qing saw was his official uniform, which was tattooed with birds and beasts, and it was not a petty official at first glance!

She hurriedly took the opportunity to break away from the two officers and soldiers!

"My lord! The folk girl is not lying! The people's girl is indeed capable of solving the case! ”

Na Lang Zhong put his saber against Wen Qing's chin and lifted him up!

"What if you can't break it?"

Wen Qing looked directly into his eyes and swallowed her saliva, "The people are willing to fight with their lives!" ”

"Why should the official believe you?" The saber slowly moved up from the chin, and finally stopped at the base of the ear, and with a slight lift, the veil slipped off the face!

"Besides, your life doesn't seem to be worth much!"

Lang Zhong turned around, and the two officers and soldiers re-erected Wen Qing and continued to drag out!

Wen Qing was really desperate, she even gambled her life, but she was told that your life is not worth anything???

"My lord! Give it a chance, the folk girl only needs ten days to solve the case, no, seven days! No, no, no, just five days, three days......"

The two officers and soldiers dragged Wen Qing to stop again!

Wen Qing was almost crying, for three days, she really couldn't reduce it anymore, and if she subtracted it again, it would become a negative number!

Lang Zhong came to her, "You gritted your teeth and received these 50 slaps, but you have to challenge the official again and again, but the official is kind-hearted, he doesn't care about you, and he can't bear to let you lose his life in vain, but now you have completely aroused the curiosity of the official!" I'm not afraid to tell you, this official has no clue about this case now, I'm curious about what you can do in three days? ”

Wen Qingxi said, "My lord, did you promise the people's daughter?" Thank you, sir! ”

Lang Zhong squinted his eyes and said, "Three days, if you can't solve the case......"

"Then the lord must fully cooperate with the people's daughter to solve the case!"

"This is natural, in the past three days, what you want the official to do, the official will do!"

"In addition, the folk girl has a reluctant request! If the folk girl solves the case within three days, please ask the adult to help the folk girl redeem herself! ”

This is Wen Qing's real purpose, if she stays in Yihong Courtyard for the rest of her life, she might as well die!

Lang Zhong suddenly smiled, "Don't say that I will help you redeem yourself, if you can solve the case within three days, even if you let the official demolish this place, the official will also demolish it for you without blinking an eye, but if you can't solve it within three days, I want your head to fall to the ground!" Right here! ”
