Lin Boqin decided to investigate the cause of Yun's death, and he had to hide it from Governor Chen.

There are obviously many feasible ways in this case, but Lin Boqin chose the most difficult one.

Hu Yu noticed Lin Boqin's wrist at this time, and couldn't help asking, "My lord, why do you have blood on your hands?" ”

Lin Boqin was stunned when he heard this, rolled up the sleeves of his official uniform, and sure enough, he saw that there was a touch of blush on the inconspicuous side of his wrist.

There were no injuries on his body except for the bruises left by Chu Cheng pinching him last night. Thinking about it carefully, he hurried to the government from home, and he didn't have any blood stains anywhere, Lin Boqin frowned, looked through his hands carefully, and found that there was also dried blood between his fingernails, and he was immediately puzzled.

This blood is not his, is it someone else's?

From last night to today, he has only been in contact with Chu Cheng Chu Hui, and even if Yang Lahu Yu is injured, it is impossible for him to be stained between his fingernails.

Lin Boqin thought about it carefully, he was in a hurry to go out in the morning, but he hurriedly washed up, presumably he was bitten by a mosquito last night, where did he scratch it? But in the winter, there can't be mosquitoes......

"My lord, what do we do next?"

Yang La asked a question, interrupting Lin Boqin's thoughts.

Left and right are not very important things, Lin Boqin didn't take it to heart, he dipped a cotton cloth in water, and said while cleaning up the bloodstains: "This matter must not be known to Governor Chen, so let's investigate it secretly." When he said this, he raised his eyes to look at Hu Yu, "You have met the maid named Cuinong, so you can go to her to find out the style, and it is best to get closer." Remember, don't let anyone else see it. ”

Hu Yu nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, my lord, my humble duty has its own measure." ”

Lin Boqin said to Yang La again: "The corpse of the Yun family is now parked in the house of Governor Chen, you immediately go and prepare some incense wax paper money, and we will go to the door to mourn at night." ”

Yang La understood: "The adult wants to take the opportunity of condolences to check the corpse of the Yun family?" But everyone is watching, I'm afraid this thing will not be easy to do. ”

Hu Yu frowned: "Why don't I make trouble?" Set a fire or something......"

"Thou shalt not set fires." Lin Boqin's face sank, and Hu Yu hurriedly laughed embarrassedly, "That'...... Sneaking through a window into the mourning hall? ”

Lin Boqin's expression changed, and he felt that this method was still feasible.

But they always have to have someone to deal with Governor Chen and his subordinates.

Lin Boqin can't leave, he wants to mediate with Governor Chen; Hu Yu and Yang La are too tall, and the windows of Chen's mansion are very small, so it is too difficult to get in silently. When he was hesitating, Hu Yu suddenly said, "You can let Madame go!" ”

Lin Boqin subconsciously frowned: "No." ”

"My lord, why not?" Yang La also stood up, "I have solved the case several times, thanks to the help of my wife." She pretended to be the second sister of Chun, and helped to arrest Hong Po, besides, she is not familiar with the place in this Wangzhou Mansion, and the only one who can believe it is Mrs.! ”

Yang La's words are to the point.

Lin Boqin doesn't have a few people to trust now, and Chu Cheng is one of them.

But the thought of putting his loved one in danger made his heart panic.

"Adult ......"

"There is no need to say anything more about this, you go and finish what I have commanded first."

Hu Yu and Yang La opened their mouths, but Lin Boqin turned his back, the two glanced at each other, and had no choice but to retreat.

***

Lin Boqin thought that he would not be able to return home in the next few days, so he took the time to go to the state city and bought a few boxes of barley cakes that Hu Yu said and brought them back.

He thought, Auntie likes to eat sweets so much, and this barley cake will naturally like it too.

Walking into the backyard, Xi Dusk was sweeping the snow under the steps, he was carrying a barley cake, and was about to ask where his wife was, when he saw the door "squeak" wide open, but it was Chu Cheng who was wearing a simple light gray cross-collared skirt, and walked out with her furry hand.

She still only has the peony flower silver hairpin in her hair, without powder, and looks as fragrant and beautiful as a plum blossom in winter.

Thinking of last night's charm, Lin Boqin's heart beat faster inexplicably. I thought I was a cold character, but when I met her, I realized that the golden wind and jade dew are better than countless in the world, and I don't deceive me.

"Husband."

Chu Cheng walked over, her eyes were like water, which made Lin Boqin's heart sway.

He coughed, lowered his gaze, and handed over the box in his hand: "Sister, this is the most prestigious barley cake in Wangzhou City, can you taste it." ”

Chu Ji couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, hugged his arm and smiled like a flower: "I like it!" As long as my husband gives me it, it's delicious! So saying, she opened the box and ate it one by one.

Lin Boqin smiled elegantly and raised his hand to wipe the crumbs from the corners of her mouth.

My heart moved, but I tasted the crumbs, and I couldn't help but say, "It's really delicious." "And sweet.

Seeing that Chu Ji was about to finish eating all the boxes of barley cakes, Lin Boqin was afraid that she would choke, so he hurriedly approached the house to pour tea for her, and said, "Eat slowly." ”

Chu Ji muttered while drinking tea: "If I don't finish eating, I won't be able to eat overnight." ”

"Save it for the evening and eat it."

"That's not possible, I'm going out at night."

Lin Boqin was stunned, "Where are you going?" ”

Chu Hui's eyes widened and she blinked: "I'll go where you go." Didn't you say that you would go to Governor Chen's house at night to mourn, you and Hu Yu dragged Governor Chen's mansion, and I went to conduct an autopsy. ”

“……”

Lin Boqin frowned and said in a serious voice: "Who told you?" Hu Yu or Yang La? Or the two of them? ”

He guessed right.

Hu Yu and Yang La did sneak in to find Chu Cheng, and sure enough, their wise and brave Mrs. Lin agreed to the matter on the spot and promised not to give them out.

Chu Cheng grinned, took his arm and shook it: "Don't be angry, I took the initiative to help you share it." Seeing that Lin Boqin was still frowning, she pretended to be angry, "What? Don't you trust me? ”

Lin Boqin remembered that she was afraid of ghosts, and said in a complicated tone: "The matter of the autopsy through the window...... You weak woman, how can I let you do it? What to do if you have nightmares at night? ”

Chu Cheng pursed her lips: "Since I married you, have I seen fewer corpses?" What's more, I am also very concerned about the cause of Yun's death, at that dinner, everyone made a lot of difficulties for me, if it wasn't for Yun's siege, who knows what I would be bullied into? ”

Lin Boqin was stunned and turned his head to look at her: "You were bullied?" Why didn't you tell me? ”

Chu Cheng thought of the Zhu family, Aunt Lan and others who were deflated that night, and said in her heart, I wonder who was being bullied. But in the face of Lin Boqin, she wanted to rub into his arms and be coquettish: "It doesn't matter, it's all over." ”

She hurriedly diverted the topic, "Or is it better to get down to business, tonight, how exactly are we going to act?" ”

Lin Boqin is still doing meaningless insistence: "Auntie ......"

"Here it is!" Chu Cheng stood on tiptoe and pinched his ears, "When you go into battle, you don't leave your father and son, have you heard this sentence?" ”

Lin Boqin wondered: "Does this sentence have anything to do with us?" ”

Chu Cheng patted her chest with a smile: "Why not!" Tonight I am the Father, you are the Son, let's work together to find out the cause of Yun's death! ”

Lin Boqin: "......"

Sure enough, his wife will never get up.

***

Governor Chen never thought that Lin Boqin would bring his family to the mourning hall to mourn.

Especially his wife Li Siniang, she cried more sadly than anyone else, and the crying did not stop when she entered the mourning hall.

"My poor Mrs. Chen—"

Chu Cheng threw herself on the coffin, crying and quietly checking, and found that the coffin had not yet been nailed, and her heart was overjoyed.

Afraid that Governor Chen would see the flaws, she hurriedly cried loudly: "Woohoo! It's really early that the flowers are falling in the rouge spring, and the dream of ecstasy brocade tent is amazing! Mrs. Chen, the heavens don't bless! The underworld is merciless! Died young, the heroic spirit endures, the eternal glory, the name goes down in history......"

Lin Boqin and Chen Zhifu: "......"

"Mrs. Lin and my wife have a good relationship?" Governor Chen's chubby face raised his eyebrows.

Lin Boqin coughed in a low voice and explained: "After meeting at the banquet that day, Neiko had a very good impression of Mrs. Chen, but she hit it off at first sight. ”

"Oh."

Governor Chen answered.

He rolled his little eyes, gave the two maids on the left and right of the mourning hall a look, and motioned for them to drag Chu Cheng away.

However, Chu Ji swept her eyes and saw the two maids coming over, she stood up with a "poof", but she startled the two maids, and the other accidentally stepped on Governor Chen's mansion.

"Husband, Lord Chen, the concubine is crying a little uncomfortable, and she is ready to go out for a walk."

Governor Chen was overjoyed, but he was finally leaving! His head was going to be fainted by this Li Siniang's crying!

Lin Boqin couldn't help but smile, and said, "Don't go far." ”

"Yes."

Chu Cheng saluted the two, walked out of the mourning hall, and disappeared into the snow-covered bushes in the blink of an eye.

Lin Boqin looked at Governor Chen's mansion and made a gesture of please: "The lower official knows that Lord Chen is very sad now, but he doesn't understand a few things at work, and he still wants to ask Lord Chen." ”

Governor Chen obviously didn't want to stay in the mourning hall either, so he said "um" and went to the direction of the flower hall with Lin Boqin.

The two walked away without a trace, and after a while, a little maid in a green jacket came.

"Sister Cuinong."

The two maids in the mourning hall nodded at her hurriedly.

Cuinong stroked the white flowers on his head, and said with red eyes: "You have also been guarding all morning, go rest and have a cup of tea, I will guard here." Without waiting for the two maids to answer, she said in a low tone, "Let me accompany Mrs. again at the end." ”

When the two maids heard this, they felt something, and they left movingly.

Cuinong entered the mourning hall, looked around, and immediately closed the door and opened the small window on the southwest side.

I saw Chu Cheng pull her skirt, and her petite and delicate body flexibly drilled in, jumped into the house and clapped her hands.

Cuinong looked at the beautiful woman in front of her, and couldn't help but ask softly, "Can Lord Lin really give my wife justice?" ”

"Don't worry." Chu Cheng smiled at her comfortingly, "There is no case that he can't solve." As long as Mrs. Chen really died at the hands of others, he will definitely find out the murderer! ”

Cuinong nodded, and hurriedly opened the coffin with her.

But seeing that Yun's face was blue, and there were still traces of blood in the corners of his eyes and nostrils that had not been wiped clean, Cuinong couldn't help but cover his mouth and cry "woo".

Chu Hui's face was like frost, she took out the silver needle prepared in advance from her arms, inserted it in Yun's throat, took it out and looked at it, and sure enough, it turned dark black. At that moment, Chu Cheng raised her hand and stirred in Yun's mouth.

Seeing this scene, Cui Nong couldn't help but admire Chu Cheng for not being an ordinary person, and he could still look calm as usual like this.

Chu Shen's eyes froze, and her fingers finally found something, she took it out and looked at it, but it was something white and sticky. She hurriedly put this object in the prepared porcelain vase, and then carefully examined Yun's body, and there were no external injuries, confirming that she had died of severe poison.

"Come, cover the coffin and restore it to its original state."

Cuinong hurriedly got up and closed the coffin with her.

At this time, Chu Cheng saw that the lily silver hairpin was still pinned to the Yun family's hair, and it was still shining in the cloud temples, which was extremely distinct.

She thought of the youthful emotions she had told herself about that night when she walked through the plum garden with the Yun family.

Now that the Siren has passed away, her husband has not shed a single tear for her, and she is embarrassed.
