Cheng Muyou urged the horse to come to her side, "Miss Yan, what did you remember?" ”

Yan Niang turned her head, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, "My lord has lived in Jingfu for so many days, have you found anything suspicious?" ”

Cheng Muyou lowered his head and thought for a while, "The Jing family is a big family, and the rules and etiquette are naturally more cumbersome than elsewhere, and Miss Jing has put things in order in the house, so there is really nothing to blame......" He suddenly disappeared in the middle of his words, as if he had been cut off by someone.

"Did you think of something?" Yan Niang asked on the side.

"Miss Jing is a famous lady and has read poetry books since she was a child, but why did she say such a poem to me that is not appropriate? The peach blossoms on the human face are red, where are there any peach blossoms, the peach blossoms have long been gone. Cheng Muyou seemed to say to Yan Niang and to herself, "She stood under the peach tree and told me that it was just the common thing in the world for the peach blossom people to go to the empty building, at that time I only felt that something was wrong, and then she committed suicide, and I only thought that she was saying goodbye to me, but now that I think about it, Miss Jing should have a deep meaning." ”

The two of them stopped talking, they looked at each other, and suddenly raised their horsewhips at the same time and whipped them on the horse's buttocks, the horse let out a neigh, raised its front hooves high, and kicked up a cloud of dust, and the horse team rushed out of Qiu Xingshan and galloped all the way towards Jingfu.

"My lord," seeing Cheng Muyou and his party hurriedly coming from the door, Shi Fei hurriedly greeted him, "I still haven't found Miss Jiang's whereabouts, and Jingchen Jinren hasn't caught it." ”

Cheng Muyou nodded slightly, "Ask a few people to take tools and follow me to the peach forest." ”

Shi Fei was puzzled, but seeing Cheng Muyou's expression, he didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly arranged things according to his wishes.

The dirt under the peach tree was shoveled aside, and only a "bang" was heard, and the shovel seemed to hit something hard, and stopped moving. A servant dragged the soil for a long time, and then pulled out a delicate elm box, he dusted off the soil on it, and handed the box to Cheng Muyou.

Cheng Muyou shook the wooden box, and when he heard the sound of "ding-clanging" inside, he decisively opened it. The box is full of women's jewelry, there are bracelets, step shakes, and pendants, these jewelry texture, old and new, workmanship are different, at first glance it belongs to different people, his gaze stays on the bottom of a black forehead, the forehead embroidery is exquisite, the lines are ingenious, and there is a piece of turquoise in the middle, which is obviously a rich and noble thing. Cheng Muyou took it in his hand, and let out a cold snort in his throat, "This color and pattern don't look like things used by women." ”

Yan Niang stepped forward and looked at the forehead wipes in his hand, "This style, young men don't want to wear it now, I don't know what Miss Jing wants to express when she puts it in the box?" ”

Cheng Muyou looked at her, his eyes were like ink, "The girl and I want to go together, but only Master Jing can answer this question in Jing Mansion now, why don't we go and meet him for a while." ”

"My lord, Master Jing, I'm afraid he can't speak now." Shi Jin followed behind them and reminded, Shi Fei glared at him fiercely, "Can't you see it, he is pretending, he is pretending from beginning to end." ”

The door of the inner courtyard where Jing Yunlai lived was closed, and the two little guys were sitting outside the door dozing, and after being awakened by Shi Jin's knock on the door, the two of them were busy kneeling and kowtowing, "My lord, the master just fell asleep, you can explain anything to the little one, don't disturb the master." ”

Shi Jin was angry, he pulled out half of his sword, and yelled at the little guy viciously, "You have done the master's thing when human life is at stake, if you don't get out of the way, be careful of your head, Lao Tzu's sword doesn't have eyes." ”

The two little guys, you look at me, I look at you, hesitated for a while, but at this moment, a deep voice came from the inner room, "I'm getting bolder, Master Cheng has arrived at the door, please come in quickly." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this voice, because the owner of the voice was still crooked yesterday, lying on the chair with a dying breath, looking like the deadline was approaching. But less than a day later, how could he be like a bell, and the old tree had rejuvenated.

Cheng Muyou didn't hesitate any longer, pushed the door and walked straight to the inner room, he saw Jing Yunlai sitting upright on the bed, his face was ruddy, his waist was straight, and he looked a little sick. His personal old slave stood beside him, holding a bowl of soup in his hand, the soup tasted so fragrant that it overflowed the whole room, and the two greedy little servants couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Yan Niang looked at the picture in front of her with interest, which was exactly the same scene that Jingwei had just told her.

"Jing Lao is really majestic, but this bowl of Cistanche mutton bone soup still needs to be paired with those bottles of kitsch medicine, and the effect will be better." Cheng Mu smiled in his voice, but his face was motionless.

Jing Yunlai took another sip of the soup handed over by the old slave, then wiped his mouth with a square towel, and raised his eyes upward, "Master Cheng, I'm old, my brain is confused, and I really don't understand what the adult is saying." ”

Cheng Muyou threw the elm box in his hand in front of Jing Yunlai, the lid of the box was split into two, and the contents rolled all over the ground, "Jing Lao won't be so confused that he can't even recognize his forehead, I want to ask Jing Lao, why your things were buried under the peach tree by Miss Jing along with those dead women's jewelry." ”

Jing Yunlai smiled loudly, and stood up with his clothes in his hands, "How can an adult come to ask me about this kind of thing, the little girl is now unconscious, how do adults know that she buried these things, in my opinion, it looks like a thief stole a few pieces of gold and silver jewelry, and buried them under the tree for the time being." ”

Seeing that his face was fearless, Cheng Muyou gritted his teeth and sneered, "I will send someone to compare these pieces of jewelry to see if they belong to those drowned women, if so, ......"

"Even if it is?" His words were interrupted by Jing Yunlai, "There are so many people coming in and out of my Jingfu every day, Lord Cheng might as well go out and ask, which family in Yuquan Town has not come to me to ask for food, ask for silver, and throw some jewelry here, is it unusual?" ”

Cheng Muyou took two steps forward, and there was thunder rolling in his eyes, "You want to deny it?" Don't forget the pickles in the cupboard, they're all hard proof. ”

"Ironclad evidence? Proof of what? Jing Yunlai greeted Cheng Muyou with a gloomy face, leaned close to his ear and said word by word, "My lord, I heard that those corpses have disappeared, what can these things represent if they are found in my mansion?" With so many people in Jingfu, who can not have special needs and habits? Why does the government even have to take care of all this? ”
