Chapter 44: Heavy Fog

Under the black scarf was an ordinary face, at this time the face was covered with cold sweat, sweat ran down his cheeks, his face was full of fear, and his whole face was exposed to everyone's sight.

Wei Xu stared at the black-clothed man in front of him for a long time, then twisted his eyebrows and recalled, "I seem to have seen you somewhere." ”

His eyes were fixed in one place, and he clearly looked like he was recalling.

Everyone waited patiently for Wei Xu's answer, and after a while, Wei Xu exclaimed: "I remember, you are the guy who has been following the bustard's mother." ”

Although Nuan Yulou is a fireworks place, but in the end it can't be without a man, the reason why Wei Xu has an impression is because on the day Ruxiang's body was found, it was the guy next to Bustard's mother who took him to the scene of the crime.

At that time, Wei Xu's first impression of him was that his body was exceptionally strong, and he must have a lot of strength, but what he didn't expect now was that this person would use his strength to murder people.

Mu Yuanjing's expression turned cold, "What's your name?" ”

Of course, the guy knew Mu Yuanjing's identity, he seemed to be frightened by Mu Yuanjing's voice, his body stiffened for a moment, and he said honestly: "The villain's name is Yun Hui." ”

After knowing the name of the guy, Mu Yuanjing didn't rush to ask about some other things, but instead instructed Wei Xu: "Gather everyone in the Nuan Yu Building in the lobby downstairs." ”

Wei Xu was ordered to leave, and the two hidden guards who stayed where they were, pretending to be Oiran and guests, pulled Yun Hui out of the room and took him downstairs.

When Yun Hui committed the murder, it was already the second half of the night, so the people in the Nuan Yu Building had basically rested, and after Wei Xu informed them one by one, it took a lot of time for everyone in the Nuan Yu Building to gather in the lobby downstairs.

Mu Yuanjing and Su Qingmo casually picked two wide chairs and sat down, Wei Xu and Pei Lin stood beside the two of them respectively, and behind them were a row of hidden guards in black brocade clothes, and the atmosphere was solemn and compelling.

Wei Xu shouted: "Silence! ”

The lobby, which was still a little noisy, instantly became quiet, and the girls looked at each other, and then at the neatly dressed guards, and they all chose to shut up with interest.

The female hidden guard pushed Yun Hui forward, Yun Hui raised her head and touched Mu Yuanjing's cold eyes, and knelt on the ground softly.

Without waiting for Mu Yuanjing to ask, he began to kowtow and said, "The prince spares his life, the prince spares his life."

Mu Yuanjing said coldly: "This king has never said that you are guilty, how can you spare your life." ”

Yun Hui paused when he heard this, slowly straightened his body, his lips trembled, and his face became extremely ugly.

Mu Yuanjing's gaze swept over the faces of everyone standing in the lobby, and finally stopped at the bustard's mother.

"Chun Niang, do you have something to say?"

Chun Niang is the flower name of Nuan Yulou Bustard's mother, her real name is no longer known, since she entered the Goolan Courtyard, Chun Niang has become her name.

Chun Niang's face was obviously surprised, but it was quickly concealed, and she took two steps forward to stand beside Yun Hui.

"The slave family doesn't know what the prince meant."

The gesture was respectful, and there was no trembling in his voice.

Mu Yuanjing let out a sneer in his heart, remembering what Pei Lin said not long ago, if the truth is really as Pei Lin guessed, then this Chun Niang is a good hand at acting.

"What have you guys done before, don't you know?"

Mu Yuanjing's words made a trace of doubt appear on Chun Niang's face, as if she really couldn't understand.

"Did Yun Hui do something bad?"

Mu Yuanjing didn't want to continue to circle with her, he glanced at the people in the lobby, and said in a non-hurried tone: "There have been many murders in Nuanyu Building, do you know?" ”

Chun Niang's body turned around behind Mu Yuanjing's sight, and the girls were silent, and no one spoke.

Mu Yuanjing was not in a hurry, and only added lightly, "For those who provide useful clues, this king will change her household registration to a good one." ”

Mu Yuanjing's words made the atmosphere in the whole hall warm, everyone present knew how important the identity of the good family is to the people in the Qinglou, although Nuan Yulou is the largest Qinglou in the capital, but in the final analysis, the girls here have always been cheap, even if they redeem the deed of sale one day, there is no way to marry someone to be a wife, and if they are lucky, they can only get a concubine, and most people can only be an outer room for life.

The things that are kept outside, I don't know which day, I will throw them away.

Mu Yuanjing waited patiently for the first person to speak, and sure enough, it didn't take long for a girl in a thin shirt to come out of the crowd.

Mu Yuanjing's eyelashes drooped slightly, and he said to Wei Xu beside him, "Find her a thick dress." ”

Wei Xu glanced at the girl opposite vaguely, and saw clearly in his heart, I am afraid that this girl's heart is already so big that she wants more than just the identity of a good family.

He took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand to forcibly peel off Yun Hui's coat, and then walked in front of the girl in the thin shirt, his eyes were gloomy, and his face seemed to smile and said: "It's cold, the girl should wear more, lest there be a headache and brain fever, and one accidentally loses her life." ”

With a naked threat in her words, the girl in the thin shirt turned from pink to white, and hurriedly took her clothes and put them on her body.

Wei Xu walked back to his place in a few steps, and listened to Mu Yuanjing ask, "Do you have any clues to report to this king?" ”

This time, the girl in the thin shirt became much more respectful and restrained in her posture and expression, and she replied in a low voice: "Two months ago, on the night that Sister Yunqiu was elected as the Oiran, the slave family saw Yunqiu enter Sister Yunqiu's room. ”

Previously, the Criminal Department had sent the identity information of all the murdered women to the Hidden World Ya, so Mu Yuanjing knew that the person in the mouth of the girl in the thin shirt was the last Oiran who was killed before Ruexiang, and he also found a strange place in the file, that is, except for the first deceased Xianyun in the Nuan Yu Building, all the names of the following Oiran began with the word 'Yun'.

Thinking of this, Mu Yuanjing suddenly asked, "What's your name?" ”

The girl in the thin shirt was stunned for a moment, and replied, "The slave's name is mercy comb." ”

"Does Nuan Yulou have a rule that if you are elected as an Oiran, you have to change your name?"

Lian Comb shook his head at first, and then seemed to remember something, and said: "There was no such rule before, since Xian Yun's death, the following Oiran has been changed to flower names. ”

When Lian Comb mentioned Xian Yun, Yun Hui's body trembled unnaturally.

Mu Yuanjing squinted at him, and suddenly said to Wei Xu: "Except for Chun Niang and Yun Hui, send everyone back to the room." ”

Wei Xu led the hidden guards to carry out Mu Yuanjing's order, and after the girls returned to the room, Mu Yuanjing looked at Yun Hui, who was still kneeling on the ground.

He asked knowingly, "You came to tell this Wang Xianyun who it is?" ”

Yun Hui didn't make a sound, his head hanging low.

"You killed so many people for the sake of envy, is what this king said right?"

Yun Hui raised his head suddenly, his lips trembled a few times, but he never made a sound.

Mu Yuanjing continued: "In order to revive Xianyun, you did not hesitate to use Jiuyin to revive the soul, during which you killed a total of seven people, just like tonight, you first used the incense to stun the people in the room, and then carried the guests of Nuan Yulou to the ground, and finally cut off the heads of those women, so that they lost their lives in their sleep. ”

After the words landed, Yun Hui's face turned pale, and his pale and weak defense could no longer be spoken, so he had to tell the truth.

"You're right, I killed all the people, and I'm willing to do anything for the sake of envy."

There was a look of memory in his eyes, "Xian Yun came to Nuan Yulou a year ago, at first she was just selling her art and not selling herself, and then one day, somehow, she actually took the initiative to ask Chun Niang to sell herself, Chun Niang dissuaded her several times, she never changed her mind, after that she really became an Oiran, what people can't imagine is that she will lose her life on the night she becomes an Oiran." ”

Mu Yuanjing asked, "Why do you want her to come back to life?" ”

Yun thought about it for a while and replied, "Maybe she is the one who really treats me well in this Nuan Yu Building." ”

Mu Yuanjing always felt that Yun Hui's answer was a bit perfunctory, he didn't point it out immediately, but asked Chun Niang on the side, "If it was someone else, I would only support Xian Yun's decision to sell herself, but you just want to stop it, why?" ”

"Back to the prince, there is no shortage of girls who sell themselves in Nuan Yulou."

Chun Niang's answer was not what she asked, and everyone present could hear it, and Mu Yuanjing replied to Yun: "Who told you about the Nine Yin Resurrection?" ”

"I read it from an ancient book."

Mu Yuanjing's expression was indifferent, "Where is the ancient book?" ”

Yun Hui stammered: "Burn, burn"

There was a strange silence in the hall, and Mu Yuanjing suddenly said coldly: "Yun Hui, you dare to deceive this king, you know the consequences." ”

Yun moved his mouth that was almost open, and Mu Yuanjing glanced at Pei Lin beside Su Qingmo.

Pei Lin got the signal, stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Yun Hui, you haven't used Jiuyin to revive the soul at all, although you have killed many people, but the resentment on their bodies is not on you, and the person who refines the ghost is not you, but her." ”

His gaze turned to the person next to Yun Hui, "Lao Fu Chunniang took the blood jade bracelet on his wrist and took a look at it." ”

Chunniang subconsciously covered her wrist and said with a forced smile on her face: "It's just an ordinary bracelet, not worth eyeing." ”

Pei Lin snorted coldly, "Ordinary bracelets can't be used as magic weapons to hold ghosts. ”

The reason why I was able to notice the blood jade bracelet was because Chun Niang's hand subconsciously covered her wrist with wide sleeves when Mu Yuanjing mentioned the resurrection of Jiuyin, and then Pei Lin used the eye of heaven to observe it quietly, and was surprised to find that there was a lot of dead air wrapped around the bracelet.

Chun Niang took a few steps back, clutching her wrist tightly, and the hidden guard stepped forward to control her, forcibly took off the bracelet and handed it to Pei Lin.

After getting the bracelet, Pei Lin checked it with his hand, carefully observed it for a moment, and finally asked Su Qingmo to blow out the candles burning in the lobby, leaving only the four in the last corner.

The range that can be illuminated by the four candles is really small, and the moonlight outside cannot penetrate through, so the whole lobby is not bright.

This time, Pei Lin had all the things on his body, he first put the blood bracelet on the ground, and then put a rune around the bracelet, so that once the things in the bracelet rushed out, it would not hurt everyone present.

After preparing everything, Pei Lin stood in the rune realm, holding a stone in his hand and smashing it the blood bracelet, and Chun Niang, who was gagged by the hidden guard and tied her hands and feet, began to struggle violently.

The moment the blood bracelet shattered in response, Pei Lin quickly retreated and withdrew from the rune realm, only to see a burst of blood-colored smoke rising from the shattered bracelet, and finally condensed into a woman in the rune realm.

Yun Hui's eyes widened slightly, and he said like a dream: "Envy Yun"

Xianyun's face is still the same as when he was alive, missing the empty state when he became a soul body.

Su Qingmo knew that it was the Nine Yin Resurrection that had an effect.

In the Fu Realm, Xian Yun's eyes turned around in the hall, as if she saw something, and finally she looked at Chun Niang, who was still struggling, and sighed: "Why do you do this for me, I don't hate you anymore." ”

Xianyun's words made Chun Niang burst into tears for a moment, she languished and spread to the ground, Mu Yuanjing glanced at the hidden guard beside her, and the hidden guard stepped forward to take out the cloth that was blocked in Chun Niang's mouth, and then there was an intermittent cry in the lobby.

Xian Yun didn't pay attention to Chun Niang anymore, and turned her eyes to Yun Hui's body, "I don't blame you for what happened at the beginning." ”

Yun Hui was still a little incredulous.

Mu Yuanjing was not far away, and after Xian Yun finished speaking, he spoke: "Maybe the girl can tell the truth about everything to this king." ”

Xianyun's eyes were attracted by Mu Yuanjing, she looked at him fixedly for a long time, and finally said everything softly.

"In fact, everything happened unexpectedly, I was not wrong, and Chunniang and Cheng'an were not wrong."

Wei Xu interrupted: "Who is Cheng An that the girl is talking about?" ”

Without waiting for Xian Yun to return, Yun Hui said in a low voice: "Cheng An is my former name, and I changed my name to Yun Hui after Xian Yun's death." ”

After hearing the word 'Yun Hui', there was a trace of helplessness on Xian Yun's face, "Why bother." ”

Yun Hui insisted: "I volunteered." ”

Xian Yun shook her head slightly, then ignored Yun Hui and continued to talk softly about the past.

"When I was first sold here, I only sold my art and not my body, but then I met a man, he really treated me well, and cared about me everywhere, but gradually, I found that he was very good to every girl, so I made the mistake that all Qinglou women often make when they meet the person they like, that is, they hope that they will come to see me more because of this, and after this idea, I asked Chunniang to let her agree to my election for the Oiran."

She smiled at this, but the smile was quickly retracted.

"Sure enough, as I thought, he became my first benefactor, but that night, not long after he fell asleep, he was called back to his home, after he left, Chun Niang came to my room, we had an argument, was seen by Cheng An passing by, he tried to dissuade us, what I didn't expect was that between the pushes, a dagger was stabbed into my abdomen by Cheng An, when the blood was lost from my body, I knew that I couldn't live, the only regret is that I couldn't look at him again before I died."

Xian Yun's last sentence was full of regret and reluctance, but Chun Niang on the side suddenly burst out with a sharp sentence.

"You're still thinking about him!"

Envy's gaze became cold and cold for a moment, "I'm happy with him, why can't I miss him." ”

Chun Niang's face was distorted and she shouted, "You are mine!" It's mine! ”
