Chapter Twenty-Six: Jasper Beads
Mingjian Mountain was solemn and calm again, leaving only the slight "crackling" sound of the torches.
Li Mengbai hurriedly ran over to untie Luo Xin's rope, and was relieved to see that he was fine except for some external injuries left by the binding.
And Xiao Tengge walked towards Su Musha and saluted respectfully: "Little uncle." ”
It's just because the Sword Saint has a high seniority, and even the seniority with Su Musha has also been raised, Su Musha bowed slightly, and he was used to this kind of title.
Xiao Ruyue was slightly surprised, and said coquettishly: "Dad, he is so young, why do you call him Uncle Xiao?" ”
Xiao Tengge scolded: "Don't be rude, come and see Uncle Xiao." ”
Shen Lingjun was a little funny, Xiao Tengge was nearly fifty years old, and he still called Su Musha Uncle so seriously.
Su Musha was some distance away from them just now, and it was dark at night, so he couldn't see his face clearly.
At this time, Xiao Ruyue approached, seeing that the handsome face under the moon was indifferent but beautiful, and a pair of cold eyes were like stars and moons, somehow, her face turned red, and she couldn't scream at the little uncle.
Instead, Luo Xin and Li Mengbai hugged their fists and said, "Little Uncle Ancestor." ”
"Thank you Uncle Xiao and this ...... today" Xiao Tengge remembered that he didn't know the name of the girl in red, so he asked, "What do you call the girl?" ”
Shen Lingjun felt that she had already digested the little buns and pastries in her stomach through the fight just now, and suddenly waved her hand weakly and said, "Let's talk about it when we go in." ”
"Yes, yes." Xiao Tengge said with a smile: "It's me who is rude, and I invite Uncle Xiao and this girl to sit down first." ”
After the matter calmed down, Xiao Tengge greeted the two of them in, and first ordered his subordinates to make tea, Fang sighed: "If it weren't for the appearance of the little uncle and the girl today, Xiao really didn't know what to do." ”
Luo Xin went through a lot of tossing, his face was tired, and he was confused and became a murderer, and he couldn't argue, but fortunately, the girl in red in front of him and this little uncle who had never met, otherwise he might have died unjustly.
Therefore, Luo Xin knelt down as soon as he lifted his robe, and said with true feelings: "Luo Xin thanks the little uncle and the girl for saving their lives." ”
Su Mu's emotionless cold eyes swept over him, and he said in a cold voice: "Get up, this matter has nothing to do with you, you are just being involved." ”
Luo Xin and they looked surprised, what did Su Musha mean by this.
Xiao Tengge asked, "What did Uncle Xiao say about this?" ”
Su Musha briefly explained what had happened, and said, "Bai Qiufeng is a wolf's ambition, you should pay more attention in the future." ”
Xiao Tengge really couldn't imagine that there was such a big conspiracy behind it, and said fearfully: "Fortunately, Uncle Xiao has insight into the opportunity, otherwise it would be unimaginable." ”
Su Musha saw that Shen Lingjun hadn't spoken for a long time, turned his head to see that she was holding her head a little unenergetic, and a smile flashed in her eyes: This girl is hungry.
Su Musha looked at Xiao Tengge, his face was serious, and said, "Is there any food?" ”
"Uh......"
After being full of wine and food, Shen Lingjun suddenly became alive again.
Everyone went back to the antechamber and sat down, drinking tea and eating while talking.
Although the current matter was resolved, the murder case was still confused, Shen Lingjun asked Luo Xin: "Why did you argue with Lei Hucheng at that time?" ”
Speaking of this, Luo Xin was very impressed, and he thought about it several times when he was tied up in the past two days.
When asked at this moment, Jian Mei frowned slightly and said: "On the way back from going to Xinyang Mansion with my senior sister to do something that day, I went in to rest and drink tea after passing through the tea house in Horseshoe Slope, and was ready to rush back to Mingjian Villa before evening, and I happened to meet a man who was embarrassing a girl. ”
Shen Lingjun asked, "That man is Lei Hucheng?" Who is the girl? ”
"I heard them describe that it was indeed Lei Hucheng, and that girl was a passer-by, and she didn't know her."
Shen Lingjun nodded and said, "Well, go on." ”
"At that time, Lei Hucheng didn't know what he lost, but he said that the girl stole it, I saw that he didn't have real evidence and wronged people indiscriminately, so I couldn't look at it, so I helped the girl say a few words, so I had a little quarrel with him."
Su Musha said: "What time was it? ”
Luo Xin thought for a moment and said, "It's just past noon." ”
Shen Lingjun touched his chin and said, "The time of Lei Hucheng's death is Shen Shi, according to the time, Lei Hucheng did have an accident not long after arguing with you." ”
Luo Xin sighed, it was because of him that he was wrongfully accused of being the murderer of Lei Hucheng. Within two days, when he went out to run errands again, he asked Lei Kun and them to arrest him.
Xiao Ruyue stood quietly aside, and when she heard this, she snorted angrily: "You just saw that the girl was light and soft, and she exuded a coquettish and charming atmosphere, so you helped others speak." ”
Because of this, she and Lo Xin got angry, and ran home alone.
Luo Xin said helplessly: "Senior sister, you misunderstood, I just helped to say a few words, and I didn't expect to provoke these things, and besides, I don't even know who that girl is." ”
Shen Lingjun and Su Musha looked at these two awkward appearances, and glanced at each other - the relationship between these two is a little couple.
Li Mengbai was quite clever and helped explain: "The master is in charge, and he has already married the little junior sister to the senior brother." ”
Over there, Xiao Ruyue was still angry, and said: "That girl looks mediocre, her clothes are ordinary, and a jasper bead hairpin on her head looks worth a little money, if you are happy, go to her now, I see that you can make a few pieces of silver, and the woman is willing to follow you." ”
Xiao Tengge saw that the more his daughter talked, the more he didn't have a score, he immediately scolded: "Yue'er, don't be petty, Xin'er is not that kind of person." ”
"Jasper beads?" Shen Lingjun heard this, but a spirit, took out the water tank found in Lanruo Temple from his arms: "Is this it?" ”
Xiao Ruyue is a girl's family, and it is easier to remember the jewelry she brings than a woman's appearance, and she was immediately slightly surprised: "Hey, why are you in your hands, you know each other?" ”
The girl wearing this hairpin had a quarrel with Lei Hucheng before he died, and later this hairpin appeared in the jar where Ji Hongfei died, what is the relationship between this?
Shen Lingjun thought for a moment, his expression was slightly solemn, and said, "What do you tell me what that girl looks like?" ”
Luo Xin racked his brains and thought for a long time: "It's really hard to say, I didn't care about the girl's appearance at the time, I felt that it was quite ordinary, and I couldn't remember it when I saw it, but I remember that her eyes were very beautiful." ”
"Humph!" Xiao Ruyue twisted her waist angrily and said, "I'll just say that you are thinking about that woman." ”
Luo Xin said dryly: "No, I think her eyes and face are not symmetrical, so I am a little impressed." ”
Su Musha looked at the past coldly: "How asymmetrical?" ”
Luo Xin thought about how to describe it, and considered the words: "How to say it, the eyes are too dazzling, and the appearance is too ordinary, so I feel that the face is a little unworthy of such a pair of good-looking eyes." ”
Xiao Tengge listened for a long time, and then asked, "Uncle Junior, is this pearl hairpin related to that case?" ”
Su Musha nodded, didn't elaborate, and said simply: "It does have something to do with it." ”
"Oh~" Xiao Tengge was still a little curious: "I don't know how Uncle Xiao got involved with this murder?" ”
Although they haven't met much, according to the impression of Su Musha in his memory, the other party is not a nosy person.
Shen Lingjun replied with a smile: "He helped me investigate the case together." ”
Xiao Tengge was originally curious about who Shen Lingjun was, and then asked again: "Dare to ask the girl?" ”
Shen Lingjun felt that there was no need to reveal his identity, so he smiled and casually made up: "My surname is Shen, and I am just a little head catcher in Danfeng Mansion." ”
Xiao Tengge was in awe, hugged his fists and said: "It turns out that Shen catches the head, and I am fortunate to be lucky." ”
Shen Lingjun haha: "You're polite." ”
Xiao Tengge wondered in his heart, how did Su Musha get together with the head catcher of Danfeng Mansion, and he was about to ask again.
Su Musha saw that his nephew, who was several times older than himself, couldn't finish asking, so he interrupted loudly: "Luo Xin, can you draw the girl's appearance?" ”
Locin pondered for a moment and said, "I'll give it a try." ”
After a stick of incense, Shen Lingjun and Su Musha looked at the characters on the scroll, and always felt that this face looked like everyone else, but it didn't look like it, and they couldn't see any characteristics.
After a while, Shen Lingjun slapped his thigh, "Isn't this the legendary public face?!" ”
Su Musha stared at the eyes of the characters on the scroll and said, "These eyes ......"
Shen Lingjun also looked over, "What's wrong?" ”
Su Musha frowned and said, "I seem to have seen it." ”
"Where?"
Su Musha shook his head: "I'm not impressed. ”
Shen Lingjun pinched his chin: "When you say that, I seem to have seen these eyes somewhere." ”
Then the two shook their heads in unison: "Impossible, this face is completely unimpressive." ”
If Shen Lingjun would forget it, with Su Mu's unforgettable memory, if he had seen this woman, he would definitely be able to think of it.
Luo Xin said with embarrassment: "I really can't remember what she looks like." ”
Later, the two said goodbye to Xiao Tengge, and politely rejected Xiao Tengge's idea of leaving the two of them overnight. Su Musha felt that Xiao Tengge, the teacher and nephew, was too annoying and a little unbearable.
After Xiao Tengge sent the two out of the house, he hesitated for a long time, and decided to go back to the study to give the Sword Saint a letter, and care about how his little uncle was mixed up with the female catcher.
When Li Mengbai and Luo Xin returned to the room, they happened to see Xiao Tengge floating past in front of their eyes.
Li Mengbai said curiously: "The master's light skills are good. ”
Luo Xin just seemed to see a smile on the corner of Xiao Tengge's mouth, and said, "I feel that the master has encountered something happy." ”
Li Mengbai thought of something, shook his body, and said, "The last time he laughed like this, it was when you were his son-in-law...... It won't be your turn this time...... No, I'll have to go out and hide for a few days. ”
After speaking, Li Mengbai hurriedly walked to the room, ready to pack some baggage and run away from home.
It was nearly midnight, and all that was quiet was the sound of the wind and the chirping of insects, and a bright full moon hung in the middle of it, illuminating a path like a layer of silver frost.
Shen Lingjun and Su Musha still stepped on the light gong and returned to the inn, and suddenly, Shen Lingjun thought that he was still holding the Yuqing Sword in his hand, raised his hand and handed it over, and said, "Return to Zhao after the end." ”
The two exchanged swords, still feeling more comfortable to hold.
When they returned to Danfeng Mansion, the city gate had long been closed, and the two of them lightly jumped over the city wall without alerting the guards.
The guard said in a trance: "I seem to see a white shadow ......"
Guard 2: "No, it's the Midyear Festival, don't scare me." ”
Guard Three: "No, it's obviously a red shadow." ”
The second guard looked left and right, and said in a trembling voice: "Why do you talk more and more mysterious......"
