Along the way, the fallen leaves from the treetops are flying, mixed with flower petals to send a faint fragrance. Ruan Governor and the concubine dared to slack off in one step, and they had no time to look at the flowers and plants, but walked with their own thoughts.

Regarding the events of last night, Ruan Zhifu returned to the room and remained silent for a long time, not only not daring to believe the hanging ghost, but also thinking of the death of his wife, and some lamentation.

The concubine was not unhappy, but her eyes were uncertain.

When they entered the door, they were shocked to see a pool of blood in the house.

"Oh, it's terrible!" the concubine exclaimed and jumped to her feet and hid behind Ruan Governor's Mansion.

"Is this and this, the head catcher and the pretend?" Ruan Zhifu turned around and asked the next person, hugging the concubine tightly to appease him.

Zhou Xuanqing stood in front of the collapse with an indifferent face, glanced at the corner of his eye, blinked his eyelashes silently, and took a deep breath.

"Bang. The door was closed from the outside. The dust fluttering in the air, wrapped in a sense of depression overflowed for a while.

The concubine looked over and looked, and then said loudly: "Nuguan, didn't you drive away the ghost last night?

Zhou Xuanqing sneered in her heart: Before she could speak, she was robbed of her words.

"The second lady's maidservant was not killed by a ghost. Zhou Xuanqing said word by word: "Second lady, do you know, why did she die?"

The concubine's face couldn't hide her paleness, she squirmed her lower lip, and then sneered: "This female crown, what you said is so strange, how can the concubine know?"

Governor Ruan immediately echoed with a straight face: "That's true, when the Yamen catches the head and does it, you will know after testing." ”

They insisted on waiting for someone to come, but Zhou Xuanqing didn't want to wait any longer.

"Why bother, the murderer is in this room. ”

There were only four people in this room, and the rest of the unrelated people were blocked out by the two door gods Mo Huaigu and Lu Shiyi. So as soon as her words fell, Governor Ruan's face was suspicious, and the concubine had already half-bowed her head, and her eyes flickered.

- This person also blackmailed himself for fifty taels last night, is it possible that the old trick will be repeated again? Ruan Zhifu made up his mind and bowed to Liu Yanshu: "Master Hou, after all, investigating the murder case is a matter for the yamen, and if the female crown messes around again, she will violate the court law." However, she is a friend of the Hou Ye, and the lower officials will naturally not really act according to the law. ”

If Zhou Xuanqing is allowed to come, he will ignore the law of the dynasty. Won't you do it according to the law? Just to see if you will be partial.

However, what kind of person is Liu Yanshu? The arrogant and domineering Zhenguo Hou! In addition to giving the Son of Heaven some face, the other ghosts and spirits should stand aside.

"That being the case, Ben Hou will remember the favor of the Ruan Governor's Mansion. Today, be the master of this servant girl who died in vain, Xiao Daogu, although you find out the murderer, everything has Benhou to support you. Liu Yanshu smiled lightly and slightly cocked the tips of his boots.

“......” This Hou Ye didn't follow the routine! Ruan Zhifu's chest swelled with an open flame, and finally he weighed it again, and the flag died down.

The concubine brushed some of the broken hair on her face, revealing a reluctant smile: "Xiaolan used to serve her sister, but now she serves me, presumably there is some gossip in the house." From the moment I entered the door, many people secretly laughed at my humble background, and then my sister committed suicide by hanging herself, how many mouths said that it was my fault....."

Zhou Xuanqing crossed his arms against the bed rail, his fingers flicked his elbows, and his eyes swept over with sharpness: "How the eldest lady died back then, presumably Governor Ruan knows best." The second lady doesn't have to take out the old things and put them on herself, after all, what she wants to talk about today is the murderer of Xiaolan. ”

Seeing her aggressive tone, the concubine who was good at greeting couldn't smile anymore, and stood aside with cold eyes and was silent.

Liu Yanshu himself often likes to scare people, and today it is rare to see Zhou Xuanqing with such a short temper, as if he had opened a door, and there was a trace of untimely interest in his heart.

Zhou Xuanqing pinched a yellow paper talisman with two fingers, and brushed it on Xiaolan's face in a void. Then 'poof' burned into a cloud of green smoke and ashes. She said slowly: "Xiaolan died of dansha poisoning, but the poisoning was only because the murderer wanted to cover up the real purpose. ”

The tail of the eye is raised, and the color bursts out.

The concubine was stared at so much that she felt weak, and she moved under her feet, almost stumbling. As soon as she moved, Governor Ruan noticed it, and immediately turned around and grabbed her waist, looked soft, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

The concubine calmed down a little, forced a smile, and shook her head.

Zhou Xuanqing saw that it was effective, and continued: "When Dansha is on fire, it is like being highly poisonous. But whoever touches it with his hand will always have a scarlet stain between his fingernails. Second Madam, do you have the courage to reach out and take a look?"

The concubine slowed down and smiled contemptuously: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the female crown." She stretched out a pair of delicate hands, and her nails were smooth and translucent, and indeed clean and clean.

Governor Ruan was sure of his heart, and came up to ask: "In that case, what else does the female crown have to say?

He deliberately glanced at Hou Ye.

Liu Yanshu didn't even bother to look back: "If the Ruan Governor's Mansion kills someone, Ben Hou will also handle the case impartially." ”

Ruan Zhifu's throat was astringent again, and he lost his speech.

"How can it be Lord Ruan, Xiaodao didn't say that the second lady has proven her innocence. ”

Zhou Xuanqing touched his nose and silently thanked Liu Yanshu for singing and singing.

"My fingers are clean, doesn't it prove that I haven't touched Dansha? Most of the people who can come to this room are subordinates, I haven't come out again since I went back to the room with my lord last night, how can I kill someone?"

The concubine found Zhou Xuanqing's loophole, and skimmed herself in two or three sentences. Instead, he threw the question at her.

Sure enough, it's not an ordinary woman who can be a concubine! Zhou Xuanqing sighed secretly without smiling, and finally solemnized his expression.

Fingers pointed down and said, "Second lady, what are you wearing on your embroidered shoes?"

The concubine lowered her head in disbelief, and her face turned white - embroidered shoes with lotus silk surface, the tips of the shoes were stained with a trace, very light vermilion.

Her heart was confused, and she remembered that she had changed her clothes when she returned to the room last night, and these shoes had also been clearly changed! I don't know if it was because of her embarrassed and irritated face, her cheeks tightened, and she replied in a sharp voice: "How is this possible! It must be the rouge that fell on the upper of my shoes when I applied powder... In short, it will never be any dansha!"

Zhou Xuanqing suddenly lowered his throat, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said in a chattering voice: "Have you forgotten that Xiaodao can do it." Otherwise, I'll ask the ghosts and gods to be accommodating, and ask Xiaolan's soul to come up from the underworld in person and tell me why she died?"

The concubine panicked, and couldn't wait to point at Zhou Xuanqing and shouted: "What kind of ghosts and gods, I don't believe in them! You must be going to slander me! Master, you have to be the master of the concubine!"

Seeing that her demeanor was not right, but after all, she was the person next to the pillow, Ruan Zhifu looked embarrassed, looked at Liu Yanshu and said, "Master Hou, this matter, if not, forget it." ”

"Who is the prefect of Ruan's mansion as Benhou? Count? A human life is counted? The court law is counted? Hmph, Benhou wants to take off your official uniform when he sees you. Liu Yanshu's words were like needles, and the prefect of Ruan, who poked it, trembled all over, and sweated on his forehead.
