Chu Nian nodded, and didn't say much, among the two sisters and brothers, Ah Yu prefers medical skills, Ah Chang prefers to dance with knives and guns, Dark Three is reluctant to teach people, Dark Four looks like a cold heart, if you can ask Dark Four to teach Ah Chang some self-preservation skills, it will be good.

Since she is doing things for Ming Xiu, she always wants to get more benefits from Ming Xiu, right?

If Ming Xiu knew that the person assigned to protect her told her to use it to such an extent, I was afraid that she would be so angry that she would vomit blood.

Ah Wu picked up the medicine pestle in her hand and sent it to Chu Nian, "Lady, smell it quickly, is this the smell you smelled in the bun shop?" ”

Chu Nian sniffed it carefully, and frowned, "It's almost, but it's still a little bit missing, this is the original medicine of the incense?" ”

A hint of joy flashed across her face, "It's not, but we've found the right direction!" ”

Chu Nian looked at her with some puzzlement, and saw her patiently explaining: "Nowadays, the drug is very strict, and most of the drugs on the market are soothing incense, which can't make people fall asleep in the bathtub." ”

"But these soothing incense, if they are paired with another taste, it is completely different."

So saying, the aunt walked out of the door quickly, and when she came back, she had a small jar in her hand and a soothing incense from the housekeeper.

"Lady, look at it first."

She opened the jar, and in the jar was a little rabbit, looking up with red eyes, and saw the two onlookers, jumping around in fright, the aunt first lit the incense, and went to the altar with a fan, and then threw the medicine that had been pounded before in front of the rabbit's nose, and then closed the lid of the jar, extinguishing the requiem incense.

After a while, she opened the lid of the jar, and the little rabbit was already lying under the jar squinting and falling asleep, even if the aunt took it out of the jar, it was unmoved.

Seeing that Chu Nian was still frowning thoughtfully, Ah Wu whispered: "Lady, the tranquilizer incense in our house is limited to the palace and is specially made tranquilizer, and only big leaves and red grass can act with it to form a drug." ”

Chu Nian suddenly became enlightened, no wonder Liu Qi had to cover up the case, this matter was really done by the people in the court, but if it was really a person in the court, who would be so angry that he would go to great lengths to slaughter the little pawnshop?

"Lady, General Liu came to visit and said that the case has been settled."

Mother Zhu's voice sounded from outside the door, Chu Nian suddenly stood up, told her to hide, and then walked out of the vanilla house and headed towards the main hall.

When Liu Qi came to visit, the housekeeper must have to inform the old lady and the Liu family, and at this moment, Liu Qi should be entertained as a guest in the main hall.

When Chu Nian arrived at the main hall, Liu Qizheng sat in the guest seat of the main hall and drank tea indifferently, smiling detached at the old lady and Liu's cold greetings.

"I've seen the old lady, Aunt Liu, and General Liu."

The old lady squinted at her, and saw Liu Qi beckoning: "The third lady can tell the official to wait, without further ado, let's go?" ”

"General Liu, why don't you stay for a while when you finally come to visit." As soon as he saw Liu Qi and left, the old lady was afraid that he would lose such a life-saving straw for the Chu family.

Liu Qi got up and hugged his fist slightly at the old lady and the Liu family, "Today I am here to find the third lady and make trouble for the old lady and the second lady, and the official is here to make a compensation, but there are still important things to do, and I will come to visit on a certain day." ”

After hearing this, the old lady said with satisfaction: "The old body is waiting for General Liu." ”

Only then did Liu get up and send Liu Qi to the gate of the Chu family.

At this time, after getting the news of General Liu's visit, Chu Yuanniang and Chu Erniang, who had dressed up a lot, hurried over, and saw that Liu Qi was about to leave with Chu Nian, they only knew that Liu Qi had come to Chu's house, but they didn't know that Liu Qi had made a special trip to find Chu Nian, and suddenly had bad courage, and stepped forward and said: "I've seen General Liu, where are you going?" The third sister is not in good health, why don't you be accompanied by our two sisters? ”

was blocked by vulgar fans, Liu Qi couldn't help frowning, but he couldn't open his mouth to drive him away because of his bad face.

Chu Nian smiled lightly, "I'm afraid that the eldest sister and the second sister can't help General Liu." ”

Hearing Chu Nian say this, Chu Yuanniang suddenly raised her eyebrows, "Then you can help General Liu?" ”

"I'm afraid that the eldest sister is not very good at this." Chu Nian looked at Chu Yuanniang with a playful smile, but it was this scene that made Chu Yuanniang even more misunderstood in her heart.

Compared with Chu Yuanniang's irritability, Chu Erniang was a little calmer, she stopped the eldest sister who was about to run away, stepped forward and said: "Since the third sister can follow, the two of us sisters naturally have to follow, the third sister is weak and sick, if something happens, someone will take care of it." ”

Liu Qi smiled, and he couldn't deny Chu Erniang's words.

Is she sickly? Such a cruel scene at the scene of the crime, if these two sisters saw it, they were afraid that they would vomit more than once!

Chu Nian looked at Liu Qi as if he was a little embarrassed, "General Liu, this ......"

Liu Qi smiled and rolled his eyes, as if she was the only one in his eyes, which made Chu Yuanniang and Chu Erniang on the side jealous. "If you want, bring Yuan Niang and Erniang, and there is no trouble."

Chu Yuanniang and Chu Erniang immediately bowed to Liu Qi and thanked him, "Thank you, General Liu." ”

The four of them got into Liu Qi's carriage together, Liu Qi was not in a hurry to discuss the case with Chu Nian, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the scene of the crime.

After getting out of the carriage, Chu Yuanniang and Chu Erniang said tremblingly: "This ...... What did General Liu bring us here for? ”

Liu Qi looked at them and said with a smile: "The third lady is helping the official solve the case, so it is natural to come to the scene of the crime." ”

The two sisters glanced at each other, and they both saw the meaning of retreat in each other's eyes, and after a while, Chu Yuanniang stiffened her neck and said, "Since the third sister can help General Liu, we will naturally be able to do it too." ”

Since childhood, our sisters have been stronger than her, why should we be crushed when we get here?

The two sisters didn't think about why Liu Qi asked Chu Nian for help alone, they just wanted to be angry for themselves, and they also hoped that Liu Qi could look down on themselves, after all, this popular man in the court, even if he couldn't get along with the royal family, the woman who followed him in the future would eat and drink spicy food after all.

Chu Nian saw through the intentions of the two sisters, and only smiled lightly on the side, letting them be in the limelight.

Liu Qi's eyes swept over her without a trace, and he gestured to Chu Yuanniang and Chu Erniang.

The two sisters had already released their big words, and naturally it was not good to refute their face, so they walked towards the house again and again, but as soon as they arrived in the house, they were frightened by the bloody breath that seemed to be nothing, and they stood still and couldn't move.

Where can you see flowers in a greenhouse like this? Even Chu Nian, who had experienced a lot in his previous life, was shocked when he saw this scene for the first time, and even more so that these two female dolls who were protected by Xiao Chen and grew up?

I was so frightened that I couldn't even scream, I only opened my mouth, and after a while, I supported each other, and my legs were weak and I couldn't walk.

Liu Qi nodded towards Chu Nian, and the two of them walked towards the inner hall full of corpses, and when they passed by the two sisters, Chu Nian smiled lightly: "If the eldest sister and second sister are uncomfortable, go back to rest early, after all, this place is unlucky, if the eldest sister and second sister are sick again, I am afraid that the eldest lady will blame me." ”

After that, Chu Nian ignored the two of them anymore and followed Liu Qi into the inner hall.

At this moment, the furnishings in the inner hall are still the same as when they first met, no one has touched them, but fortunately, in the early spring, the temperature is neither cold nor hot, and the corpse has not decomposed so early.

"The coroner said that these people had not been incense."

Liu Qi pointed to the corpses of the ladies on the side.

Chu Nian narrowed his eyes, "Then only the neighbors were incense, and the murderer did this deliberately, I'm afraid to listen to the dying screams of these people." ”

Liu Qi looked at her sideways and motioned for her to continue.

"In the early years, there was a murderous demon in the market, who only listened to the screams of the dying and slain and got pleasure from it."

Chu Nian paused, lowered his eyes, and seemed to be pondering, "There are three possibilities, one is vendetta, the second is to extinguish the mouth, and the third is that the murderous demon is in the world." ”

The third possibility is not great, the murderous maniac in the early years was also because he had a miserable life since he was a child, so he developed the temperament of such a madman. Now that the "peaceful and prosperous era" is now, the eunuchs can pick out a few people whose personalities are used to being fierce.

"It's unlikely that a vendetta will be killed," Liu Qi's eyes fell on the corpse of the shopkeeper on the side, "Although the pawnshop offends people, it will not make people hate the whole family, but if there is a grudge and a mouth, it will be another story." ”

Chu Nian nodded yes, and praised by the way: "General Liu really deserves to be the most proud protégé of Master Su. ”

These words seemed to poke Liu Qi's pain, his face froze, and he nodded stiffly, "Thank you for the teacher's mention." ”

Chu Nian looked at him with a smile without the slightest emotion.

Liu Qizheng looked straight, "My subordinates found out that Luo Jia Shilang had come to the pawnshop once, and it seemed that he had a dispute with the shopkeeper and left in a bad mood. ”

Chu Nian narrowed her eyes, sure enough, there was a reason why Ming Xiu asked her to come here.

"The adults can start to investigate Luo Shilang, but in my opinion, it is better to be secretive."

Liu Qi glanced at her appreciatively, nodded and said slowly: "Luo Shilang, I have been in contact with him a few times, although that person is lustful, but he is not a person who can commit such perverted acts. ”

Chu Nian followed his words, "Unless, this person has Luo Shilang's handle in his hand." ”

"Well, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, after all, Luo Shilang is still in prison and has no time to commit the crime."

Chu Nian looked at him with a smile and didn't say much, Liu Qi was a little embarrassed by her gaze, so he arched his hand and said: "Thank you for mentioning the third lady, today's matter, this official will definitely report the merits of the third lady to the emperor truthfully." ”

"What's the matter with a little girl?" Chu Nian smiled meaningfully: "General Liu already knows the secret behind it, and the little girl is just speaking for General Liu." ”

Seeing through the purpose by Chu Nian, Liu Qi's face froze, and he immediately took a deep breath, nodded and smiled: "Lu Yuan, I'll send the third lady back." ”

Chu Nian still smiled and nodded, and didn't say much.

She understood the reason for Liu Qi's move, Liu Qi was by no means the kind of person who acted impulsively out of curiosity, but he attached great importance to this matter, and he didn't dare to offend General Luo rashly, so he happened to meet Chu Nian, so he pulled her as a scapegoat.
