Mu Yunge looked at the immortal-like figure, and was stunned for a moment.

Tang Linyi was the first to come back to his senses and smiled slightly: "I heard that you are investigating a nonsensical case, and the clues in my hand may be able to help you." ”

"Master......" Mu Yunge opened his mouth, but the words choked in his throat.

She didn't know how to speak, but she had a lot of things to say: Master, are your injuries completely healed? Master, who are you? Master, why do you have that mysterious seal? Master, do you have any reservations about me......

Tang Linyi saw her expression, and his heart was slightly bitter, but everything was expected, and many things could only be explained in the future to seek her forgiveness. He quickly concealed his helplessness, and beckoned to her casually: "Yun Ge, I also heard about yesterday's incident, this is a little clue I found." ”

He held a thin translucent object in his hand and shook it slightly: "Perhaps, the person you are looking for has a face." ”

"It's ...... Human skin masks? Mu Yunge was shocked.

Tang Linyi nodded, put the human skin mask on the table next to her, and then said: "It is indeed a human skin mask, I have studied it, and this leather is real." It is made by applying a special potion along the face while the person is still alive, and then using a thin blade to peel off the skin raw and soak it in a soft liquid. ”

Pei Xin's brows furrowed when she heard this, and she clutched her chest and vomited.

is miserable, but Mu Yunge is not afraid, compared to what happened to Mu Jinran in her previous life, these sounds can't arouse her a trace of fear.

She felt a deep pain for the owner of this skin, suppressed the sympathy and discomfort in her heart, she pointed to the human skin mask and asked, "So, the real Aunt Qiao has died a long time ago?" ”

"I've checked Aunt Qiao." Tang Linyi said in a low voice: "Her birth is Qiao Yijun, her family lives in Chongcheng, she is the daughter of a small businessman, and she helps her father sell some rouge gouache on weekdays. However, since four years ago, there was a plague in Qiao's family, and her father and mother and younger siblings all died in the plague, and only Qiao Yijun survived. After that, according to the neighbors, Qiao Yijun's temperament changed greatly, and a girl who was originally gentle and lovely became silent, closed her door all day long, and locked herself in the house to make some miscellaneous things. ”

"The plague?" Mu Yunge frowned.

If there was a plague in Chongcheng, Jinling was so close to Chongcheng, how could it be that he hadn't heard any news at all?

Tang Linyi said with a smile: "What I'm talking about is the Qiao family, not Chongcheng." Like you, I'm also very strange, how this plague happened in Qiao's family alone, so last night I went to the ancestral grave of Qiao's family in Chongcheng to see the corpses of Qiao's family. ”

"What was the result?" Mu Yunge raised his eyebrows: "I guess, the corpses of the Qiao family must have already decomposed, but the bones are black. ”

"Indeed." Tang Linyi nodded appreciatively: "Qiao's family all died unexpectedly. So, I inquired a little bit else. Before Qiao's family contracted the plague, Qiao Yijun came to Jinling alone to purchase rouge ......"

"That's when I was stiffened by Li Daitao." Mu Yunge stood up, and everything became clear in his heart.

Qiao Yijun, who returned to Qiao's house, is already this Aunt Qiao who is now in the Mu family, that is to say, Qiao Yijun was killed on the way back from Jinling, and her dough was made into a mask...... Then, Aunt Qiao has always lived in Jinling before!

This goes back to Mu Yunge's original doubt, why did grandma encounter robbers, but she was actually saved by Aunt Qiao. If Aunt Qiao was from Jinling from the beginning, and she had a bolder guess that she was originally disguised in the Mu family, then she would know all of her grandmother's actions, and it would be easy to arrange for the robbers to be good again!

What a deep city, such a precise calculation!

Mu Yunge's eyes showed brilliance: "Aunt Qiao is not Qiao Yijun, so who is she, or who was she once?" ”

"Yunge is smart!" Tang Linyi was surprised, and then laughed: "Do you still remember the four girls who followed your grandmother back then?" ”

"Autumn chrysanthemum, autumn bamboo, autumn orchid, autumn plum." Mu Yunge quickly remembered.

This is not because she has a good memory, but because it depends on the Mu family's unique way of compiling names.

In order to number and record, the girls in each room and courtyard of the Mu family are confirmed by their names. In Xiao's room, the girls all start with the word "jade", in Mu Yunge's listening to the wind, the girls are named after the word "pei", Mu Jinran's yard is the word "red", and in Mrs. Mu's yard, it is the word "autumn"; Aunt Shen's girls are all "water", and Aunt Qiao's girls are "Ming", when Aunt Luo was still there, the people in her yard started with the word "cloud".

Before Mrs. Mu passed away, her status in the Mu family was very high, and her four big girls were named after the four gentlemen of "Meilan Zhuju", which also showed the taste and status of the old lady.

Mu Yunge thought of these four people, and involuntarily went through them in her mind, and soon, her eyes lit up, and her heart became transparent: "It's Qiulan." ”

Tang Linyi nodded: "As soon as I said it, you thought of it, Aunt Qiao, it used to be Qiulan." ”

"But I remember that Qiulan has a very innocent background and is the son of the Mu family." Mu Yunge was puzzled.

Qiulan is the daughter of a subordinate in the house, grew up in the Mu family since she was a child, and lived in her grandmother's room when she was thirteen years old. Grandma liked her very much, and she was promoted to be a big girl not long after she was admitted to the hospital. But Qiulan's life was not long, and she had only been a big girl for a few years, so she went due to illness. At that time, my grandmother had just received an invitation from Beijing, and she didn't even want to go for an appointment, so she went to Beijing to relax, and then she met Aunt Qiao......

Mu Yunge understood!

It is precisely because Qiulan has an innocent background, is the son of the Mu family, and died of illness, so she will not be suspected. Who would doubt a dead man?!

And the reason why grandma likes Aunt Qiao so much is half because Aunt Qiao knows how to please, and the other half must be that her temperament is exactly the same as Qiulan, which arouses the crux of grandma's heart......

Tang Linyi had always known that Mu Yunge was smart, but seeing that her expression was wrong, knowing that she had already guessed, he shook his head again and said with a smile: "You think Aunt Qiao is Qiulan, that's only half right, before Qiulan, she still has an identity." ”

"Who?" Mu Yunge's heart was cold, and he was instantly filled with shock.

Tang Linyi dipped in some tea and slowly wrote a line on the table.

Mu Yunge's eyes widened more and more, and finally calmed down, she read in a low voice: "Zhao's private daughter, it turns out that she is the person of the third prince Wei Quan......

Emperor Wu is old and has never established an heir, and the most popular candidate today is Wei Quan, the third prince of the Empress Zhao family, and Wei Wuzhen, the eldest prince of Xiao Guifei. Behind Xiao Guifei is the military general of the Xiao family, and behind the queen is the Zhao family, the second largest family in the entire Great Wei.

Mu Yunge didn't expect that these people would rush to stretch out their palms to the Mu family, and Wei Quan actually sent his own cousin to the door and made a merchant concubine for his father!

She couldn't help sneering: "The third prince and the queen are reluctant, in order to take advantage of my Mu family, they actually sent their niece to the door, and they took so much pains." ”

"If you don't spend much time, how can you leave yourself and the Mu family clean?" Tang Linyi seemed to be smiling, and his tone was mocking: "They royal people always take that position very seriously, as long as they can get that position, what kind of things can't be done?" Don't say that you just send an illegitimate daughter, that is, your own son, as long as there is a need, you can use it thoroughly! ”

Mu Yunge was silent, Tang Linyi's words hurt the wound in her heart, and every scene from her previous life reappeared in front of her eyes, her heart was cold!

The third prince Wei Quan and the fourth prince Wei Shanzhi are very good, they all want to calculate the Mu family, and they all want to hurt her Mu family, so don't blame her for being ruthless......

"Master, is there any way you can help me expose Aunt Qiao?" Mu Yunge looked at Tang Linyi and pleaded in a tone.

Tang Linyi's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but feel sad and whispered: "Aunt Qiao's mother has long been killed by the Zhao family, and only one nurse is still alive, and I have asked someone to pick her up." ”

Mu Yunge blessed his body: "Thank you, Master." ”

"I'm going back." Tang Linyi closed his eyes and stood up suddenly, he no longer looked at Mu Yunge, turned over and jumped directly from the window.

Mu Yunge stood on the windowsill, watching him leave and never see it again, before he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then remembered the temptation just now, and couldn't help but sigh. It's not that she has no way to expose Aunt Qiao by herself, she just asked Tang Linyi what he said, she just wanted to test which side he was on in this way. Tang Linyi's answer undoubtedly proves that he is helping himself. But he must have stabbed him because of his suspicions......

It's because she's too careful, Master...... There is indeed a secret, but she believes that the master will not hurt her.

Mu Yunge clenched her fists, she would definitely find a way to make up for her master, and the top priority was to settle Aunt Qiao's affairs first.

Thinking of Tang Linyi's words, a strange smile appeared on the corner of Mu Yunge's mouth, she called Pei Xin and whispered, "Pei Xin, you go and arrange ...... for me"

Pei Xin's eyes brightened the more she listened, nodded vigorously, and ran away.

Tang Linyi really did what he said, and after two days, he sent a message to Mu Yunge that Aunt Qiao's nurse had been picked up and was currently placed in a separate courtyard in Jinling.

Mu Yunge couldn't help but be overjoyed, and asked Pei Xin, the things she wanted were almost ready, and she went straight to the Yunya Wine Shop.

told the shopkeeper his instructions, and the shopkeeper nodded again and again, and immediately patted his chest and said that he would help her do it. That night, Mu Yunge quietly went out under the leadership of the secret guard, and met the person he wanted in the backyard of the Cloud Cliff Wine Shop. The dark guards took everything in order, and Mu Yunge handed them the things he had prepared and left directly.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!

When she got up the next day, the first thing Mu Yunge did was to go to the Xiao family to say goodbye, she stayed in the Xiao family's courtyard for a while, and when she came out, she was smiling and in a good mood.

But when she returned to the courtyard, she couldn't laugh, Mei Shaoqing actually came again!

Before she could open her mouth, Mei Shaoqing stuck up with a hippie smile, smiled at her and said, "I went out yesterday and overheard an anecdote that a little naughty ghost actually bought two human skin masks from the black market?" ”
