"How so?" Liang Ci leaned back on the carriage and frowned and asked, "Did you find anything?" ”

I wiped the tears from my face, tried to organize my thoughts, and raised my suspicions: "Hui'er walked too peacefully, the strangulation marks on her neck were extremely deep and fine, there was no trace of struggle, and there were no red and swollen bruises on the edges. Fastest update access: щщщ.79XS.сОΜ. ”

"Not everyone who hangs themselves will have a horrible face." Liang Ci slowly analyzed for me: "If a person hangs himself because he has difficulty breathing and suffocates to death, he may have a blue face, bulging eyes and a long tongue; if he suddenly breaks his neck bone and dies, there is no pain, so he will die peacefully, without any significant features." Hui'er is bent on death, and may give up the struggle and die instantly. ”

I took a deep breath sadly: "I know this doesn't mean anything, it's just a little speculation on my part. But later, I found it between Hui'er's fingernails. ”

I took out the note from my cuff that I had 'crumpled', opened it carefully, handed it to Liang Ci and said, "What is wrapped in this paper?" ”

Liang Ci took it in his hand, opened the curtain a little gap, and carefully looked at it for a long time with the bright light, before he said with certainty: "This is the disguise cream used to make the human skin mask!" ”

"Human skin masks? How could there be such a thing in the Hou Mansion? I asked, surprised.

Liang Ci glanced at the handwriting on the note, rolled it up, and set it aside. took out a handkerchief from his cuffs, carefully wiped his fingertips, and threw it out of the window, before he said indifferently: "There is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger around you, which should not be underestimated." ”

I couldn't help but shudder, a chill from the soles of my feet to my heart. It's obvious that someone is lurking around me after a disguise, and I don't know it!

It is possible that this person is a person who is close to me, and gets along with me day and night; It is also possible that it is someone I know well, who is worried that I will find out his identity and become a stranger, waiting for the opportunity to move.

I felt a chill on my spine, the feeling of being watched everywhere in Yangzhou City.

"Could it be that Hui'er saw through that person's disguise, so she was killed?" I speculated: "Hui'er struggled desperately when she was killed, and caught the murderer's face. ”

Liang Ci lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and said: "There is also a possibility, Hui'er herself is a master of disguise!" Qingwu, where do the girls around you come from, do you know the details? ”

I was stunned, and instantly understood the meaning of the cool words, and explained: "I was very careful when I chose the girl, and I paid attention to it. Lan'er and Xiao'er are both natives of Yangzhou, the 'daughters' of poor families, and their family backgrounds are very simple. ”

"What about Hui'er?"

"Hui'er's parents are dead, and she is an orphan."

"Orphans? Do you know where she worked before she entered the house? ”

I shook my head.

Liang Ci stretched out his hand and tiredly 'rubbed' his temples: "After Crazy Stone left the Qiwang Mansion yesterday, he made a special trip to the Hou Mansion to find Hui'er, and asked her if she had told anyone else about your appointment yesterday, Hui'er was very suspicious. ”

I couldn't help but be stunned, Hui'er's suicide note, and the cold words, made me feel that my suspicions were so pale and powerless, and for a while, I didn't know how to refute them.

"Not only that, I secretly tried Hui'er's body with a silver needle when others weren't paying attention, and the silver needle didn't change color. However, I found out that the silver needles on the earrings worn by Hui'er were black and black, and she was clearly poisoned before her death! ”

Liang Ci looked at me, his eyes flashing: "Can people still detoxify the poison in their bodies after death?" ”

"It's possible," I said firmly, "though I don't know how the man did it." I've heard the master say before that there is a Gu worm in Miao Jiang that can absorb the poison in the corpse. ”

Liang Ci frowned at me, stretched out his hand, rubbed my hair, and sighed: "Qingwu, take it easy, you are too nervous, so some plants and trees are soldiers." Things may not be as complicated as you think, and you think too much.

When you first arrived at the Hou Ye's Mansion, you have no old grudges with others, how could you do this. Besides, if it is a murderous person, what does that person do with such a big effort, wouldn't it be more than that? ”

I was silent for a long time, thinking that I might indeed be a little suspicious.

Liang Ci leaned on the carriage, closed his eyes, stretched out his fingertips and pinched his eyebrows vigorously, his face full of tiredness.

I just remembered that Liang Ci left the house before dawn, and he was busy until now, so there must be something major and tricky.

"Look at your face 'color' is not very good, is there any trouble?"

Liang Ci moved his body to the side, sighed and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the rough envoy who got up early today found the body of the envoy of the Mohan Kingdom in a secluded passage, and it was a fatal move." ”

I couldn't help but be surprised, and vaguely remembered that yesterday Liang Ci took me away, as if he was entertaining the envoy of Mohan, and someone had made fun of him with bad intentions.

Although the Mohan national army was strong and strong, although it was coerced by cold words and was 'forced' to sign an armistice and peace agreement, but all along, they have been coveting the abundance of our Chang'an Dynasty, and they are stupid and 'want' to move, and they have provoked trouble several times.

If the envoy of Mohan was killed in the territory of the Chang'an Dynasty, this is undoubtedly a good excuse to ask the guilt and send troops, if this provokes a war between the two countries, as the culprit, will I not become a sinner through the ages?

I whispered guiltily, "Did I cause you trouble?" If you hadn't sent me out of Juxian Tower, this wouldn't have happened. ”

"Silly girl," Liang Ci smiled gently: "Even if I stay in the restaurant, I can't control everyone's whereabouts, and I can't prevent things from happening at all, how can I blame you?" ”

"What then? Isn't it troublesome? I asked worriedly.

Liang Ci shook my fingertips comfortingly: "It's okay, it's just an insignificant minion, I don't care about it yet." You don't have to worry. Madstone and I have already set up the situation, and we are taking this opportunity to drive a wedge between their envoys. ”

It seems that he has a good chest, but I can see a trace of worry in his eyes. Naturally, I know that the stakes are high, and the slightest miscalculation is unimaginable.

The cold words made me feel even more guilty, he took care of every opportunity, and he tried his best to worry about everything, every matter related to the family and the country, but I was still worrying him because of some small things.

I wiped the tears from my face and tried to smile naturally: "Let's go back to the house first, I'll go to see Hui'er tomorrow." ”

Liang Ci nodded, lifted the curtain, and indifferently instructed the coachman: "Go home." ”

Then he turned around and comforted me: "There is still something to do in the court, I will send you back, don't think 'messy' and ask for troubles yourself." I have instructed Mu Lin to take charge of protecting your safety, and he can do whatever he wants. ”

In the next two days, Liang Ci has been very busy, wearing stars and moons, and he has not seen his shadow from morning to night.

I heard at the beginning of summer that this year's disaster is very serious, Shandong, Henan, Hebei several major grain-producing provinces have been affected to varying degrees, especially Henan, because the temperature rose early, even when the heavy snowfall, the wheat seedlings have begun to joint, this year will definitely be no harvest.

Nowadays, there is no harvest in the fields, and a large number of refugees have chosen to leave their hometowns and flock to the capital to seek a living. The imperial court sent special officials to be responsible for giving porridge and grain to settle the victims. Originally, it was in order. However, since a few days ago, for some reason, there have been repeated riots, smashing and looting, and openly confronting the government. After investigation, it was found that someone was maliciously incited and had malicious intentions.

This matter can be big or small, and if it is not handled properly, it will inevitably lead to a big disaster.

Liang Ci is now busy comforting the victims, and he has no time to care.

Yan San's matter was naturally put on hold, and Liang Ci once asked my opinion, and I was in a dilemma, and I didn't know how to decide.

Simply as far as Yan San is concerned, he does no evil, and no matter how he is punished, it is not too much. But as Crazy Stone said, Qingyin and him are now in a boat, and the spread of the whole capital is boiling, ruining the reputation. Whether Qingyin returns to Yangzhou City, or is she wronged and married into the Yan family, no matter who she is, she can't make up her mind, and she can only wait for her father's instructions to decide.

The Yan family jumped up and down to work around, but because it was a case ordered by King Qi. No one dares to show favoritism. The Yan family entrusted their hopes to the Anle Hou Mansion, and went to the 'door' three or four times to apologize and ask Qingwan to be accommodating. Later, I don't know how I reached an agreement with Qing Wan, Qing Wan agreed, and entrusted Qing Qing to go to the Qiwang Mansion to find me and intercede with Yan San.

Yan San naturally couldn't forgive so easily, so he put it on hold for the time being, and let him suffer some hardships in prison first.

The comfort of the cool words did not dispel my doubts, and after I was busy with Hui'er's funeral, I asked Xiaoxiang'er and Lan'er about some things about Hui'er's life. Both of them said that Hui'er was in a trance two days before she hanged herself, and she was often in a daze alone, looking like she was preoccupied.

Crazy Stone went to the Hou Ye's Mansion alone on the day of the incident, but he had no clue, the scene was already messy, and there were no valuable clues.

Hui'er's death was like a 'mess', I couldn't figure it out, and gradually my doubts were shaken, especially when Lan'er was packing up Hui'er's relics, she found a stack of silver tickets in her dress, which further verified Liangci's speculation and overturned my doubts.

And Brother Lin has moved out of the Hou Ye's Mansion since the accident that day, and he is missing, so I asked Xiao Shan to go to a few shops to inquire, and there is no news of Brother Lin.

Crazy Shi said that the envoy of Mohan Kingdom was killed, and there are no clues yet, and it cannot be ruled out that those black-clothed people did it that day, nor can it be ruled out that Brother Lin is suspicious.

I am very disgusted with other people's doubts about Brother Lin, and I argue with reason.

Mad Stone argued with great disdain, and hit the nail on the head.

"Su Qingwen, don't you think your big brother Lin is suspicious? The origin is unknown, the martial arts are superb, and there are mysterious forces behind him who obey him.

Is it a coincidence or deliberate that such a person suddenly appeared by your side and condescended to stay in Su Mansion as a subordinate, or is there some ulterior secret? You've never doubted any of this?

The most important thing is that the Mohan envoy who was killed this time is the personal guard of the Mohan prince, and his martial arts are superb, but that person can be killed with one move, if it is not an acquaintance, take advantage of his unpreparedness, it is a strong and vicious martial arts, and he will never be under me and the Qi King, just ask, how many people can there be in the entire Chang'an Dynasty?

There is also Hui'er's death, if Hui'er was because she reported your whereabouts to Lin Mosheng, causing you to almost be killed, and you committed suicide with guilt, wouldn't this be more reasonable? ”

I was speechless.
