Chapter 335: Serial Murder
The song and dance of Chang'an in the wax moon are leveling, the first day is approaching, and the court meeting has stopped.
The noblewomen of the high-ranking families and the jasper of the Pingming people's homes all took advantage of this rare opportunity to go out to play, and for a while, the market in Chang'an City was bustling with people.
Yao Lingniang is a hot flower girl in the Chang'an City Teaching Workshop, she can stroke a good piano, and those sons and brothers who spend a lot of money have to call her a Yao family when they see it. There was even a noble girl who quietly sent someone to inquire, just to learn her song.
She stood quietly on the street, combing her flying fairy bun, sticking a golden peony on her head, a pendant with the same pattern on her ears, and a thin yellow flower on her forehead. Passers-by who came and went couldn't help but stop and quietly look at her.
Although it was winter, she was still wearing tulle, revealing her snow-white half arm, holding a Yuezhou feather fan to half-cover her face, and the little girl next to her was walking around the night market with a lantern.
"It's rare that my mother didn't give me a listing today, but let me see what this ordinary little lady in Chang'an City does at night."
She looked excitedly at the candy man stall not far away, and said delicately, with no resentment on her face, as if complaining about why it was raining today.
A son-in-law standing not far from her, wearing a purple robe embroidered with tangled branches, with a red flower obliquely stuck on his head, stepped forward with the intention of wine, and laughed: "Isn't this the red card Yao family in Wanhua Building?" What's the matter, are you interested in accompanying Lang Jun and me to the cruise? ”
Yao Lingniang glanced at him, quite impatient, "Get out of the way, the old lady won't pick up guests today." The wrecked ship has done a lot of work, not a hundred times, but eighty times. If you can let me Yao Lingniang accompany you on the boat, you need to charter the largest painting boat, you first have a few coppers in your pocket, if not, you will pee on yourself, and talk to the old lady. ”
The boy was obviously frightened by her fierce appearance, and the wine woke up all of a sudden, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, vulgar powder, who doesn't know how to stroke the piano, who can pretend to be like this?" Be careful, and next time you say something so disrespectful, be careful that I chop off your hand and see what you can do to pay off your height. ”
After speaking, he patted the head of the little guy next to him, "Why don't you go quickly, wait here for bad luck." ”
Seeing that the man was far away, Yao Lingniang walked quickly to the candy seller's stall and said with a smile: "Uncle, pinch me a candy man, I want to pinch the appearance of Cheng Saburo of Lu Guogong's Mansion." ”
The old man laughed out loud and shook his head, "Okay." I haven't pinched a hundred of this Cheng Saburo, and I've pinched eighty. ”
Yao Lingniang knew that he saw the scene just now, and she was not annoyed, "Isn't it!" In Chang'an City, who doesn't envy Xu Dou, but unfortunately there is only one Cheng Sanlang. Our sisters said well, it is rare to have a lover, Cheng Sanlang's business, we will never do it. But it's always okay to pinch a candy man and get lucky. ”
The old man was really familiar with the road, and the sugar man was quickly done, and whispered: "Little lady, let's go back early, those sons and brothers are not easy to mess with, don't cause any trouble." In these years, it is not easy for us to make a living. ”
Yao Lingniang's heart warmed, "Abel will be a sugar man according to me again." We, the ladies in the flower building, are the most afraid of the son. But after I finished eating this candy man, I was going back. ”
After a while, Yao Lingniang held the two sugar figures in her hands and walked in the direction of Wanhualou.
The old man sighed, "It's also a poor person, a good little lady." ”
Let's say that Yao Lingniang walked all the way, and then entered a remote alley, there is no market in this section, the black lights are blind, and there are often sons and brothers who take their little mothers to come here to hunt wild food. Yao Lingniang pursed her mouth disdainfully, and walked forward quickly.
After a while, I saw that the lantern was dark, and the little maid with the lantern suddenly fell to the ground.
Yao Lingniang was suddenly startled, and subconsciously wanted to speak out, but was covered by a thick hand covering her mouth, and a strange smell hit her, and she immediately fainted.
Early the next morning, the husband was sleepy-eyed and walked through the streets and alleys, but he kicked a strange thing, he looked down, sat down on the ground in fright, and ran desperately, "Dead, dead." There was a little lady who was killed. ”
The bold people around quickly surrounded them, and one of them, Lang Jun, said, "Isn't this the Yao family of Wanhualou?" Yesterday, I went to drink, and there was a boy who asked for Yao's cards, but she wasn't there. I didn't expect to die here. And he died so miserably......"
When everyone looked at it, they saw that Yao Lingniang's clothes were half retreated, and her body was bruised, obviously she had been humiliated before she died, and her head was hit vigorously, and blood flowed all over the ground, which looked really sad.
"The first day is approaching, how can such a thing happen, it's really miserable." An eldest lady who lived nearby couldn't see it, so she took a piece of cloth and covered it up with Yao Lingniang.
Soon the husband called people from the government and carried Yao Lingniang to Yizhuang for an autopsy.
Originally, everyone thought that this was just an accidental thing, Yao Lingniang was dressed frivolously, and she offended many guests, maybe she was retaliated against, and maybe the New Year was approaching, and the rogue committed the crime, in short, everyone just sighed for a moment, and then left it behind.
Unexpectedly, what happened next made the entire Chang'an City shrouded in a black cloud.
It's almost a woman a day, at the beginning, she was only limited to the flower girl of the Qinglou, and later she was an ordinary woman from a good family, and she was also murdered. All of a sudden, there was a lot of noise in Chang'an City, but all the good-looking little ladies didn't dare to go out.
The recital about this matter is almost crowded with Li Ziqi's desk, Chang'an is the capital of a country, and it is unimaginable that such a crazy guy has appeared.
Li Ziqi frowned, "The Criminal Department has been ordered to solve the case." The Black Feather Guard is also investigating. ”
Eighteen Niang sighed and touched her lower abdomen, if she wasn't pregnant, she might be able to go to the street to see if the dog thief dared to attack her.
"I always feel that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, which is quite strange. Ordinary people, if they kill someone, they shouldn't hide the corpse properly, or find a wilderness and throw it away, why is this person swaggering on the street like this, as if he is afraid that people will not be able to see it. ”
This seems to be someone setting up a game, clearly letting them get into the trap, and it is not enough for the people to be angry if they don't investigate, but they enter the bureau after checking.
So what's the mystery here? Could it be that they guided the murderer to support the people who were close to the left of the plum period?
The Shen family? Or the Cheng family?
