"Why not? It's just that this Liu Wei is tired of life and refuses to agree. In addition, this Liu Laoshi originally loved this daughter very much, so he didn't force her. ”

"Then this Xu Liang came back this time, did he come to Liu Wei on purpose?" Xing Ruyi glanced at Xiao Shengzi and motioned for him to continue.

Xiao Shengzi continued: "The Liu family's butcher shop has only a simple façade, and there are three houses behind it, one small one is used as a kitchen, and there is a dwarf tree next to the kitchen, but because the wall of the Liu family is not high, it is very likely that this Xu Liang climbed the low wall first, and then sneaked into the Liu family along the dwarf tree. Yesterday, because the business was very good, Liu Laoshi and Liu Wei were both very tired, so they went to bed early. Later, there was movement in the yard, Liu Laoshi originally wanted to go out to have a look, but when he opened the door, he saw Liu Wei standing there with his clothes on, and said that it was estimated that the wild cat smelled fishy and ran into the kitchen, so that Liu Laoshi hurried back to sleep, and she went to check and pick up the meat that was not sold during the day. Liu Wei has always been careful in her work, and Liu Wei is also doing these picking up tasks on weekdays, so Liu Lao didn't think much about it here.

Later, after another half an hour, Liu Laoshi suddenly heard a big movement in the kitchen, so he came out to check. As a result, I saw my daughter Liu Wei lying on the ground in disheveled clothes, messy and bloodstained, on the ground next to her, separated by a sharp knife, which is used by the Liu family to kill pigs and remove meat on weekdays. Xu Liang sat on the ground in a monk's suit, staring at Liu Wei with his eyes, chicken legs scattered all over the ground beside him, and his clothes were also stained with grease. Liu Laoshi saw his daughter like this, so he stepped forward to grab Xu Liang and beat him, but Xu Liang didn't have a pit and didn't fight back, and the surrounding neighbors heard the movement and knew that something had happened to the Liu family, so they reported to the official. When we rushed there, Xu Liang was beaten quite hard. ”

Xing Ruyi asked: "Then Xu Liang didn't explain how he entered the Liu family, and how Liu Wei was killed?" ”

Half of what he said, but Xu Liang only explained that he did not sneak into Liu's house, but made an appointment with Liu Wei in advance. He and Liu Wei originally had a common affection, and he was forced to go up the mountain to become a monk in desperation, but he was in Buddhism, and his heart was in the mortal world. Maybe it was providence, when he went down the mountain a few days ago, he actually asked him and Liu Wei to face each other, and the two looked at each other with hands, but they were speechless and choked. Sneaked to a secluded place and became a small couple who complained to each other. After the rejoicing, the two leaned on each other and talked, and suddenly heard the sound of a chicken crowing next door, so Xu Liang sighed with emotion, saying that since he became a monk, he has never tasted meat. This Liu Wei kept it in mind, so he secretly prepared chicken legs for Xu Liang in private and asked him to come over last night. Xu Liang also said that he had already agreed with Liu Wei that after going up the mountain, he would say goodbye to his master and come back to marry Liu Wei. ”

Xing Ruyi couldn't help but lean towards Xiao Shengzi, and couldn't wait to ask: "What about the motive for killing Liu Wei, he didn't state such an important matter?" ”

"No, and no matter how Big Brother Chang asks, he just won't speak. However, there are human and physical evidence at the scene, even if he doesn't confess, he is guilty of murder, and he knows it himself, so he doesn't want to say it. ”

Xing Ruyi shook his head, "I'm afraid that things are not as simple as you imagined, if you want me to say, the reason why Xu Liang didn't open his mouth was precisely because he was not a murderer, but watching Liu Wei die, he was also dead, and he couldn't think about it for a while, and wanted to follow Liu Wei away." ”

"I don't believe it, that Xu Liang doesn't look like he is in love."

"Yes or no, it's all something that your government wants to investigate." Xing Ruyi got up and went to pound his clay pot again.

Xiao Shengzi leaned over, glanced into the clay pot with his eyes open, and said mysteriously: "Actually, in addition to chicken legs, there is one more thing at the scene." Guess what? ”

"It can't be something from my rouge shop, right? I can declare that I do not know that Liu Weisu, and there is no need to harm her. You little shengzi, don't talk nonsense and cause trouble in my shop. ”

"Don't worry, girl, I quietly brought that thing, and my eldest brother Chang is not stupid, of course I know that this life lawsuit has nothing to do with you, girl, and the people next to you will not be stupid, because I found something in the girl's shop at the scene, and I suspect that the girl is a murderer. If you say so, who in this Luoyang city would dare to buy and sell things. Xiao Shengzi said, took out a small round box from his waist, and there were words "Sun Xian Maiden Cream" pasted on it, and under the handwriting, a ruyi pattern was faintly noticed.

"It's something from my shop, and it was sold yesterday morning." Xing Ruyi took the round box, opened it, and found that the place near the corner was dug up with his little thumb, and he lowered his head and smelled it, and there was a faint smell of blood in the girl's fragrance.

"It turns out that the girl is Liu Wei!" Xing Ruyi closed the lid of the round box and placed it on the counter casually: "Then Xu Liang told a lie, at least this girl was still a yellow flower when she came to my store to buy Sun Xian Maiden Cream." So, you hurry back to the yamen and ask Brother Chang to find a mother-in-law to help Liu Wei check her body, there must be something hidden here that we don't know. ”

Hearing Xing Ruyi say this, Xiao Shengzi didn't think much about it, answered, and hurried out.

The fox swayed out gracefully, followed by a little fat man who gnawed on chicken legs.

"Nosy again?"

"It's just that there are lovers separated by yin and yang, and those who do bad things get away with it." Xing Ruyi said, glanced at Yin Yuan, pointed to the Sun Immortal Maiden paste on the counter, and asked, "You deliberately threw this thing at the scene of the crime, right?" Why, the skin is itchy and I want to be beaten! ”

"No, no, no! Mother, don't just wronged me, I'm also soft-hearted, I can't resist her request. Besides, the mother didn't see it, is there anything else on the ointment of this fairy girl? ”

"Something else?" Xing Ruyi picked up the round box and looked at it carefully, and saw that there was nothing abnormal, so he sniffed it carefully. Sure enough, in the girl and the bloody atmosphere, there was another smell of ambergris.

"It's ambergris!"

Ambergris, also known as gray amber, is a solid waxy combustible substance with a dark or black appearance, produced in the digestive system of sperm whales. Ambergris is often used as a perfume by men because of its unique sweet and earthy fragrance to dye houses or clothes, but its price is expensive and not something that ordinary people can use.

"I have smelled it, although Xu Liang is also contaminated with the aroma of ambergris, it is not strong. The Liu family is just an ordinary butcher, and they are all engaged in the business of killing pigs and ducks, and naturally they don't care about whether the smell on their bodies is good, so in the Liu family, they can't find this ambergris. ”

"You're smart!"

"That is, and I don't see whose son I am." Yin Yuan bit the chicken leg hard: "By the way, by the way, I will tell you one more thing, the chicken leg was bitten by Xu Liang before Liu Wei died." Didn't Liu honestly say it, when he heard the voice and rushed over, Liu Wei still breathed a sigh of relief, and pointed at Xu Liang, in fact, she wanted Xu Liang to bite a bite of chicken legs, after all, those were all prepared by her for Xu Liang, if you don't watch him take a bite, you won't even feel at ease when you leave. But Liu Laoshi was sad at the time, and he didn't notice this detail at all, so the physical evidence at the scene was actually not counted. ”

"How do you know that?"

"Of course, Liu Wei told me herself, but don't worry, mother, I told Liu Wei that if she wants to save her sweetheart, she will come to her mother." Yin Yuan blinked his eyes and said flatteringly, "How is it?" Have I also inherited my mother's kindness and virtues? ”

"Cut, you weren't born to me!"

"But my physical body also has a share of the credit of my mother and you. Besides, an adopted son is also a son, and it is inevitable that he will not be close to his mother but like his mother. As the saying goes, it's who raises a child like whom! ”

"Good delicious chicken thighs go, young age, why do you talk so much nonsense!" Xing Ruyi pinched Yin Yuan's chubby cheeks lovingly: "Say, you sneaked to the scene of the murder, did you want to take advantage of the fact that the Yin Si people did not arrive, and captured and ate Liu Wei's soul." ”

"Not really!" Yin Yuan turned his face awkwardly.

"Don't lie to me, who said it just now, an adopted son is also a son, how can a mother not see that her child is in a physical condition. Counting the days, the demonic qi you absorbed from the arsenal has almost been digested, and when you were growing your body, where could you withstand hunger. ”

"Mother knows?" Yin Yuan blinked his eyes again: "It's a pity, there aren't so many demons here for me to be snacks." ”

"There is no one in Luoyang City, but there is one in the mountains outside the city, and I have already told the fox to let him take you to hunt tonight. But after saying that, you can only hunt and kill those vicious little demons, and you can't hurt the innocent. ”

"Mother's so good!" Yin Yuan said, opened his two oily little hands, and was about to come over to kiss Xing Ruyi with a oily little mouth, the fox's face sank, and he used his hand in the middle, and forcibly blocked Yin Yuan back.

"Daddy is so stingy!" Yin Yuan snorted coldly: "If my mother gives birth to my father's child in the future, when the time comes, I will see whose vinegar my father eats." ”

The fox glanced at Xing Ruyi and replied, "This, you don't need to worry about it!" ”

Yin Yuan originally wanted to fight for a few words, but when he thought that he had to rely on this cheap fox father to go up the mountain to hunt demons at night, he hid his words in his stomach, and said very well-behaved: "I don't have to worry about it, everything has a mother." ”

After speaking, he nibbled on the chicken leg and went to the backyard.

The day fades away, the night gets thicker, and the huge Luoyang City is lit up in the sky, highlighting the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty Night Market.

Xing Ruyi sat in the hall, waiting for the person who would come tonight.

After the third watch in the night, there were three knocks outside the door, and Xing Ruyi opened the door, only to see a young woman wearing a lilac dress and embroidered with small gardenias, holding a red umbrella, standing under the eaves of the porch. Her umbrella, held very low, covered half of her face

The young woman's face and exposed arms were pale, without a trace of blood, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if she were smiling, and even when she heard the door open, she just stood still.

"But Miss Liu?"

Xing Ruyi opened his mouth to ask, but heard the woman make a piercing "gurgling" sound.

"Why, I haven't seen you for a few days, and the girl has forgotten me?"

Xing Ruyi frowned, smelling an unusual and dangerous aura, and this woman's voice, she seemed to have heard it somewhere.

"What the girl promised me has not been done, so treacherous, but the nature of the girl?" The young woman said, slowly lifting the red umbrella. Through the lantern hanging from the eaves of the porch, Xing Ruyi saw the woman's face deliberately hidden under the red umbrella.
