Mu Jingzhu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you say?" ”

"The man had injuries to his left arm and left leg, but he did not die. Other than that, there were no other scars around, only a slight bruising of the skin on the face and a slight swelling of the face, which would normally have been caused by something covering the mouth and nose, suffocation. But in this case, people will struggle instinctively, so most of them will bite their tongues, and when people are struggling, their hands will subconsciously scratch. ”

Qu Youying said and raised the homeless man's hand, there was indeed something left in his fingernails.

She picked it up with tweezers and placed it in front of Mu Jingzhu.

"The scars in his fingernails are probably the same as the scars on his neck."

As she spoke, she put the homeless man's finger on his neck and compared it to it.

"True. But what does that mean? ”

Qu Youying smiled and did not answer the question directly, but stretched out his hand and gestured.

"You know, when a person is about to kill you, you subconsciously struggle to grab that person's hand with your hand, or to wrap it around an object on your body. If the person is grabbed by the hand, the muscles in his neck will become stiff and will not scratch. If there is, it is from the jaw downwards and does not appear vertical on both sides of the throat. However, none of the above was shown on the corpse of the homeless man, and there was no sign of his hands and feet being tied, and there was no swelling in his urine and urine. ”

Mu Jingzhu listened quietly, and did not interrupt her words, allowing her voice to flow in the small room.

"But the homeless man must have scratched his neck with his hands before he died, but his complexion was darker, so when I looked at it just now, I only noticed that his bones were larger than those of ordinary people, after all, he was tall and rugged. But when we put the body in the sun, we can see that his neck has been coated with a layer of black paint similar to his skin, but not all of it, but in a specific place. ”

She wiped off the layers of black paint with a white cloth dipped in a special potion, revealing a serpent's disc-like mark.

Mu Jing's eyes were slightly stunned, "It's the wind." ”

Qu Youying nodded and said, "Yes, it's the wind, but to be diagnosed, you still need to open it up." ”

"No need, he did die from the throat wind, so let's let the dead leave a whole body!"

Just when Qu Youying wanted to give it a try, the voice of the old man outside the door came in.

She looked back at the old man standing in front of the door, his tall figure was in the sun, but it seemed to have become very tall, blocking a lot of light.

"Grandpa, you actually knew the cause of his death a long time ago, didn't you?" The old man didn't speak, but the acquiescence represented everything, "Then why don't you tell the people in the government?" If this person dies from the throat wind, it may have nothing to do with Ruyun. ”

"Whether it matters or not, people are dead, and everyone believes that this is his life, and it is also the life of Yunyang Township." The old man knew a lot, but he didn't want to mention it, so he turned to the side of the door and made an inviting gesture to the two, "It's past noon, please go back!" The weight of the cold here is not good for women. ”

Qu Youying was stunned, "Do you know I'm a woman?" ”

The old man just smiled, Qu Youying was about to ask, but was pulled by Mu Jingzhu, he arched his hand to the old man, and said, "Thank you old man today, let's say goodbye." ”

As he spoke, he pulled Qu Youying and left.

"Why don't you let me ask more? Maybe you can ask some clues! Every living person in Yizhuang is a human spirit who sees through the world! ”

Qu Youying was not satisfied, she looked back at the old man who closed the door, and followed behind Mu Jingzhu with a pout.

Mu Jingzhu took her hand and walked forward, "You also said that it was a human essence, with your IQ, do you think you can ask anything?" ”

"You!"

"If he can know something, we can find out." Mu Jingzhu quickly interrupted her words, suddenly turned his footsteps, and walked towards the jumping stream on the side, "You wash your hands, let's go back to Xuanfu Building first." It is estimated that there will be news from the county office. ”

Qu Youying didn't know what his plan was, but as he said, not long after they returned to Xuanfu Tower for lunch, the yamen sent someone.

It was Xiao Wang, the official who received them yesterday, who sent them.

Xiao Wang greeted him honestly, and then said, "Lord Zhao ordered the little one to take the two to the Liang family." ”

"Lord Zhao is really a good parent official in Yunyang Township, and his efficiency is fast."

Qu Youying stretched her waist and went to Liang's house with Mu Jingzhu with a smile on her face.

The Liang family is not a big family of the official eunuchs in Yunyang Township, but they have a rich family background left by their ancestors, and they have done some business for several generations, and they are also well-known in Yunyang Township.

It's just that the good times don't last long, Liang Yuan, the heir of the Liang family of this generation, is a sick and weak son, and his health has been very bad since he was born.

In this regard, his mother was very sad, and while taking on the business of the Liang family, she was also worried about whether her son would live well in the underworld.

Because her ancestors had the experience of underworld marriage, Liang's mother also wanted to find a yin family for her son.

It's just that her son's eight characters are too weak, and there is no doubt about women, so Xiang Po searched for many buried women around Yunyang Township, but she didn't find a suitable eight characters.

So Liang's mother has always been very sad, as for why she found Ruyun, but it is not known to outsiders.

Until the fourteenth day when Ruyun came back from the coffin, Liang's mother was found dead in the bedroom, and the Liang family was disrupted from then on, and finally Liang's mother's younger brother took over everything in the Liang family for the time being.

It was he who received them today, Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing is a middle-aged man, it is said that his wife died of illness very early, and he did not leave him a son and a half daughter, after which he came to his sister and then started the Liang family's business.

After learning that there were county officials from Xiangling Town to deal with this matter, Zhou Qing was very concerned, and rushed back from outside just to see them.

"Two, I am the younger brother of the Liang family, the Liang family is thin in this generation, so far there is no one in the Liang family, I can't bear everything that my sister has worked hard to support in vain, so I have no choice but to support this family and make the two laugh."

"Master Zhou, you're welcome."

"Please sit down, and someone will serve tea."

After everyone sat down, Zhou Qing continued to ask, "I don't know what the two of you came here for today?" ”

"We want to know, why did the Liang family choose Ruyun as Young Master Liang's yin object? The secret marriage between the living and the dead is not tolerated by the world, not to mention that Ruyun should have married the teacher Zhou Wu. I don't know this, can Master Zhou know? ”

Qu Youying's question is direct enough, and most people will be unhappy when they hear it, but Zhou Qing is different, but what he revealed after hearing it was sadness.

He first sighed heavily, then took the teacup, and after taking a sip of tea, he told the whole story.

"Actually, my sister didn't want to find Ruyun, after all, Ruyun had saved Xiaoyuan once, and she was also the benefactor of the two families. My sister also sincerely wanted to find a yin for Xiaoyuan, but she couldn't find it, and when she was about to give up, her sister dreamed of Xiaoyuan. Xiaoyuan said to his sister in a dream that Ruyun matched his eight characters, and hoped that Ruyun could be his wife. My sister also knew that if the marriage between the living and the dead was not handled well, something would happen, so she immediately refused. But after that, my sister would dream of Xiaoyuan almost as soon as she closed her eyes, Xiaoyuan cried and said that if she couldn't marry Ruyun, he wouldn't even be able to enter reincarnation, so her sister was really anxious, she ran to find Xiangpo, and combined Xiaoyuan and Ruyun's eight characters, which is indeed a complete match as Xiaoyuan said in her dream. Therefore, the sister asked Xiangpo to find Ruyun, saying that she just married the Liang family, and then she was the young grandmother of the Liang family, serving with delicious food and drink, and promised that the business of the Liang family would also fall on her in the future, such a generous treatment, just to ask her to marry a dead person, and it would not hurt her everything, but Ruyun still refused. After that, my sister sent people many times, and they all ate closed-door soup, until that day Xiangpo suddenly came to the door. ”

"What are you doing here?"

Qu Youying dared to be sure, it was definitely not a good thing for Xiangpo to suddenly come to the door at that time.

Zhou Qing touched her beard and said, "She brought my sister a method that is said to be perfect." ”

"It's just a cloud of deception!"

"Yes." Zhou Qing did not deny it, and said everything, "Xiangpo said that only by letting Ruyun think that she was marrying someone else will she break the Liang family's thoughts about her, and she will also let down her guard." As long as the sedan chair is carried into the Liang family at that time, are you still afraid that she will not obey? ”

"In fact, everything went smoothly as Xiang Po said." Qu Youying's words were once again nodded and acknowledged by Zhou Qing, but she was still a little confused, "I heard that Ruyun died seven days after entering the Liang family. How did she die? What did you do to her? ”

This high voice made Zhou Qing tremble, waved his hand and immediately cleared up the relationship.

"We don't, we really don't. After Ruyun knew that she had been deceived, her sister kept her in the room, and would lobby in front of her door every day, hoping that she would change her mind and serve her with good food and drink, but her sister didn't expect Ruyun's temperament to be so resolute, she didn't eat or drink, and finally starved to death. When I knew about it, I blamed my sister a few words. But my sister looked at Ruyun's corpse, but she was indifferent, I saw her like this, a little worried, but after all, there was a death, so I sent someone to report to the official. But before the people from the Yamen came, my sister made a decision behind my back - planning to bury Ruyun's body and Xiaoyuan's body together. From beginning to end, I have been persuading her, but she didn't listen, it was like being possessed by a ghost, no one could listen to anyone's words, and she didn't sleep, until the bodies of the two were buried together, she fainted with both eyes, and after this fainting, my sister was seriously ill in bed, and never got up again, until the seventh day after Zhou Wu's death, she was also found dead in bed, during which my sister kept calling Xiaoyuan's name. ”
