The moon hangs high in the sky, the cold is biting, and the heavy rain in this season rarely falls, Yu Ying'er, who doesn't care about her body, began to have a high fever soon after she came back, and she couldn't speak clearly.

Yu Xiao scolded these servants, if they weren't still using them now, they would all die tonight, the imperial doctor stepped up to make the decoction, and after drinking the medicine, the little master's face finally improved a lot.

Yu Xiao personally guarded her side, those palace maids and servants had been kneeling outside the door, trembling, they hoped that the little master would get better soon, otherwise they would really die.

It wasn't until the second half of the night that Yu Ying's little master gradually woke up, she saw her father-in-law, she was very scared, she took her father-in-law's hand and said, "Father-in-law, father-in-law, is it you?" You're finally here. ”

Yu Xiao heard the voice, opened his sleepy eyes, he held Xiao Ying'er's hand and said, "It's me, it's my father-in-law, my father-in-law is here." ”

She got up and hugged her father-in-law and said, "Father-in-law, I'm scared to death, I'm scared to death." ”

"Okay, it's okay, it's okay."

"Father-in-law, let me tell you, her mother-in-law, she was killed by her brother."

When Yu Xiao heard this, he was shocked on the spot, and he asked solemnly, "Xiao Ying'er, are you confused and talking nonsense." ”

Yu Ying'er said with tears in her eyes, "Father-in-law, I didn't, I saw it with my own eyes, and it was in the garden east of the Holy Buddha Temple." ”

After hearing this, Yu Xiao couldn't bear it anymore at all, and immediately got up and rode on the white horse and galloped away with the guards.

……

Master Linghui and Luo Zi'an's little benefactor restored the female corpse of Ye Xianren's disguise back to that small garden, and even the small details of the wound were exactly the same, it was simply miraculous.

Master Linghui asked, "Can this really be confusing the real with the fake?" ”

Luo Zi'an said, "This can only fool those who only look with their eyes, if they do an autopsy, even if they are in a powerful disguise technique, they will be helped." ”

"Isn't that very dangerous, if the murderer knew that Master Sheng was not dead, he would definitely come to kill him a second time."

Zi'an said, "The murderer personally killed the person, he won't do an autopsy, and didn't you say that Mrs. Yu and his husband have a bad relationship?" So he wouldn't have done an autopsy either. ”

"But he has a son!"

"Since it's his son, we can tell him the truth! His son must not harm his mother. ”

Master Linghui thinks about it, according to the law of Daxing, the autopsy must be allowed by the family, and if the family does not agree, the people in the government are not allowed to take action. (Ancient fantasy is not the same as reality in modern times.) Even if it is an unnatural death, the consent of the family must be obtained. ）

Luo Zi'an said, "Master, let's hurry up!" We had to get out of here before dawn. ”

"Okay, let's go this way so our feet don't stick to the mud."

……

Xu Mo took his lieutenant general and left the imperial city on horseback at night, and he was anxious to reunite with his junior sister, but he didn't know anything that happened tonight, so he just wrote a letter and asked his subordinates to pass it on to his junior sister.

The content of the letter was that he was going to Xingzhou to exterminate the rebels, and that he would definitely come back to marry her in more than three months, so that she could take good care of herself.

Although Yu Kai was flustered, after calming down, he slowly regained his state, and he asked Uncle Malone to come to the best tavern in the imperial city to drink in advance.

Why did he ask him out, it was because he wanted to kill Yu Ying'er at the beginning, but if he killed Yu Ying'er, the world knew that we didn't have a good relationship, so the first suspicion must be himself, and he had to create an alibi to prove his innocence.

This Uncle Malone is a steady, down-to-earth and reliable honest man, and he is also the most important general in the navy by his father, and his father will definitely believe what he says.

He spent money to hire people from Qixingzhai, kidnapped the family of the owner of the shop, and blackmailed the boss of the money, no matter who asked, he did not leave the tavern, and kept listening to the rap and acting in the tavern.

Boss Qian was forced to agree until he returned from the Holy Buddha Temple, changed his clothes and shoes, and Uncle Malone arrived just in time at this moment.

Ma Long said, "Yu Kai's little nephew asked me to come, I don't know what's going on!" ”

Yu Kai said, "Uncle Ma Long, I am not young anymore, I want to learn more about the art of war, and Uncle Ma Long is unmatched in how to govern the water army, so I thought I would ask Uncle Ma Long to have time to teach me more." ”

Ma Long said, "There are ambitions, but learning the art of war is not a matter of one or two days, not only to theoretically but also to actual combat, because the situation encountered by each general is different." ”

I want to hear about it!

In this way, Yu Kai listened to the book of heaven in the middle of the night in this tavern, except for nodding and shaking his head, he couldn't listen to anything at all, in order to cooperate with the acting, he drank a few sips of wine, and finally he couldn't do it, so he slept on the table, and finally Ma Long carried him home.

……

As soon as the day dawned, a little monk who got up early cleaned up the garden, and when he found the female corpse, he cried out in fright, and hurriedly went to find Fang Zhan, saying everything he saw.

The presiding officer Lingbao and the principal Linghui and some other little monks came here one after another, and when they found the corpse, they were all shocked, and just wanted to inform Uncle Yu Guo, he came.

Yu Xiao rode a horse, he got off the horse to see that it was really true, at this moment he was furious, he couldn't suppress his anger, he ordered the guards who came on horseback behind him and said, "Surround me all of this holy Buddha temple, no one is allowed to enter, and no one can go out." ”

"Subordinates obey."

After saying that, he rode on the horse again, this time he was looking for the murderer, although his relationship with Sheng Lian had long since ceased to exist, but after all, he was a husband and wife, and now her sudden death, his heart was not comfortable, and what was even more hateful was that it was actually Yu Kai's hand, this beast is not as good as a thing, and he committed such a cruel and inhumane crime, there is no doubt about it.

……

The noisy soldiers also woke Mrs. Yu up, and she slowly opened her eyes, and found that there was an old man beside her, and a hairy boy guarding her bedside.

The old man asked, "Are you awake, do you feel anything uncomfortable?" ”

Sheng Lian said weakly: "I just feel that I can't use my strength." ”

Ye Yifan took it at the same time, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "This is because you are hungry, Zi'an went to bring her food." ”

"Yes, Master."

Sheng Lian said, "Dare to ask the benefactor, where am I?" How I survived. ”

Zi'an understood what he meant when he saw the master lying on another bed, and he took over and said, "This is still the Holy Buddha Temple, but this is a small secret room, and it is very safe here. ”

Sheng Lian nodded, she kept looking at the strange old man.

Zi'an said again, "You don't have to always look at my master, he has been watching you all night, he is already very tired, now is his rest time, don't disturb." ”

"Then your master, have you had breakfast?"

"My master has three meals a day, and you can rest assured that he is very punctual."

That~~

"Don't speak, now I ask you something, what you answer, you must answer, because we saved you."

"Who killed you?"

Sheng Lian put down the dishes and chopsticks, he was in a very bad mood, he said, "I am very grateful to you for saving me, when I have the strength, I will leave on my own, and then I will repay you." ”

Zi'an snatched the rice bowl and said solemnly, "We can save you, or we can harm you, don't eat if you don't tell me." ”

Sheng Lian said in despair, "It is better to die in your hands than to die in his hands, my life is saved by you, so naturally you can also take it." ”

"Hey~ I also ran into a hard stubble, do you think I don't know? I've seen it all, and even if you don't tell him who it is, I can find him. ”

Sheng Lian said annoyedly, "Why do you care about my business, do I know you?" ”

Zi'an said: "For justice! For the sake of this warm existence in the world, great love is eternal and undefeated. ”

Sheng Lian froze his mind, in this dark dynasty, it was the first time that someone could say such selfless and magnificent words, this child didn't look big, but his mind was much more upright than adults, was it because he was a child that he was pure and flawless? No~ It should be that he has an upright and patient master who teaches him!

Seeing that she didn't answer, Zi'an didn't ask him too much in his heart, and said, "Auntie, after you finish eating, it's best not to walk around when you have the strength, your injuries have not healed, and you can't leave this secret room, otherwise it will bring unnecessary trouble to me and Master." ”

Sheng Lian said, "Then when can I leave?" ”

"When you are healed, we will naturally let you leave, you can rest well when I leave, don't disturb my master, he loves purity."

"Where are you going?"

Zi'an didn't answer her words, he wanted to check whether the murderer who fled in a panic yesterday would come back for an autopsy today.

……

Master Lu Jinglu of the Criminal Department, he was not promoted to the court today, but the person who reported the case was an insider in his own government, who is he?

He is Li Cheng Li Zhutou who helped Ma Jiguang and his son escape from the imperial city.

Lu Jing's two eyes couldn't be opened, it was already time for the government to promote the court to handle the case for the people, and this Lord Lu still looked like he couldn't wake up, which showed how much debauchery he had.

Lu actually looked at it, what's the matter, early in the morning, he didn't let people sleep peacefully.

Li Cheng said, "Lord Lu, last night an official on duty in the morgue was knocked unconscious, and when he woke up, he found that a female corpse was missing from the morgue. ”

Master Lu said impatiently, "Just this little thing, you wake up Lord Ben, are you a head catcher who eats dry rice?" Can't handle it yourself? ”

Li Chengdao "My lord's matter is not trivial, the purpose of knocking out the official and stealing the corpse is obviously to steal the day to confuse the truth, and please issue a general investigation warrant and investigate clearly." ”

Lu Dadao: "Isn't it just a corpse lost, how much money will be wasted on me so much, you go to work in the household department, the case will be over, and you will retire." ”

"Adult, Adult~~"

Lord Lu didn't pay attention to it at all, because the Empress Dowager Qi asked every Wenchen of the current dynasty to donate a large amount of silver taels to the military in the north, and the clothing, food, housing and transportation of these Wenchen were tightened a big circle, and the officials in the criminal department and government had not been paid their salaries for more than three months.

Li Cheng is very helpless, he has a pure heart to serve the motherland, but the darkness of this government makes him lose again and again, this person is honest not for money to work so hard, but to return the justice of the world to struggle for life, but unfortunately such a talent has hit a wall, twenty-seven or eighteen years old he has never been married, and there is a sick father to take care of, life is too much, life is not easy.

He often lamented that "the world is unfair, the world is ruthless, it is difficult to get ahead, it is difficult to get ahead." ”

……

Luo Zi'an checked on the roof for a long time, and he didn't see the figure of the man yesterday, but what made him curious was that although the man didn't come yesterday, the little girl came.

Xiao Rou put on thick clothes for the little lord and said worriedly, "Little master, your illness has not fully recovered, don't catch a cold." ”

Yu Ying'er said, "My stepmother was killed, can I not come and take a look?" ”

Xiao Judo: "Little master, what's so beautiful about a corpse, let's go back quickly!" ”

Yu Ying'er was very angry when she heard this, she said solemnly, "Tomorrow, you don't appear in front of me, I hate you, I don't want to see you in this life." ”

Although this sentence was unintentional, it set a death date for Xiaorou, she quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Little master, I was wrong, I was wrong, the slave and maid don't dare to be there, please don't drive me away." ”

Yu Ying'er didn't have time to take care of her, although she and her stepmother rarely met, but her stepmother was still okay with her, and usually gave her some fun and delicious food, and sometimes took her to play, such a charitable person, but was killed by someone she hated, can she not be sad?

But her unwillingness and ruthlessness towards Xiao Rou prompted Xiao Rou's resentment and dissatisfaction with her, she served the little master so carefully, but in the end she was about to be executed because of a word, she was unwilling, since you are ruthless to me, then don't blame me for being unjust.

Yu Ying'er didn't think about it so much, when she saw her mother-in-law's body, she cried bitterly and reluctantly, but what she didn't expect was that the first person to shed tears for her was not his husband, nor his biological son, but her usually indifferent daughter, Yu Ying'er.

She hugged her stepmother, but she didn't have a scared heart at all, there was only endless sadness in her heart, she didn't have a mother, her father-in-law gave her all her father's love, and her stepmother was also all her mother's love, now that her stepmother has passed away, her heart is sad, she will never let Yu Kai go, and she will never call him brother in the future, he will be the most disgusting person in my life.

Zi'an, who was standing on the roof, was now sure that this little girl should be the first witness, since she was Mrs. Yu's righteous daughter and had a close relationship, she should know who the murderer was. As long as I follow her today, I may be able to find out the truth of everything, I am so smart.

Xiao Rou took the opportunity to leave, and quietly left the Holy Buddha Temple while they were not paying attention, did she escape? No~ No, where can she flee to, even if a palace maid escapes without a father or mother, she doesn't know where to go.

She is going to take refuge, to a person who can make her achieve revenge, since the little master no longer wants me and wants me to die, then I will not let her have a good time.

In fact, the trust between people is complicated to think about, and if you think too much, you will gradually lose trust, Yu Yinger is just angry, she has no intention of letting Xiaorou die.

It was the fear in Xiaorou's heart that made her realize her death.
