Fu Jiuqu walked to the window and stood with his hands in his hands.

A thin ray of light fell on his face, bright and cold.

Xin Yi approached and stood side by side with him, looking out the window, and could see the blue brick wall hidden in the flowers and trees not far away.

The courtyard drinks summer, and the warbler is sunny, which is very beautiful.

Xin Yi asked, "Did you already know that they committed suicide?" ”

Fu Jiuqu snorted lightly, no emotion.

Xin Yi looked sideways, "Brother Jiu doesn't think something is wrong?" ”

Fu Jiuqu pondered, "That's also a matter of Yuezhou, you and I are passing by, it's better to interfere less......"

"That's not right." Xin Yi's dark eyes brought a light smile with some understanding, "Brother Jiu won't care. You're kidding me. ”

Fu Jiuqu turned his head, "Why should I deceive you?" ”

Xin Yi hooked his lips, lazily clasped his arms, and leaned in front of him, "You didn't really want to keep me, so you didn't plan to tell me the truth, and you were going to find another opportunity to send me away." ”

Fu Jiuqu chuckled.

"Why?"

Xin Yi's eyebrows moved slightly, "First, you learned that General Zhao was in trouble, so you came to help." Now that a few adults have died, and the case is even more confusing, how can you leave it alone? Second, Yuezhou reproduces the murder case related to Mituo Monk, with the shrewdness of Brother Jiu, how can he turn a blind eye? ”

Fu Jiuqu squinted his handsome eyes and looked at her for a long time, and asked with a smile:

"How do you know it's related to Monk Mita?"

Xin Yi said: "If the manager joined the army and really invited the half-immortal rune paper, and the rune paper happened to be fed with the Mituo monk, does Brother Jiu think that the two have nothing to do with each other?" Also, several of the adults who died were Cao Guan and Tui Guan who assisted Zhizhou in dealing with the prison, such a sensitive position, I don't believe that you, an old fox, would stand by and watch. ”

Fu Jiuqu sighed secretly, "If Eleven is a man, it is more than enough to be a prisoner."

Xin Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I'm praising me when I am the ninth brother?" ”

Fu Jiuqu: "Don't dare not boast." ”

Hum! Xin Yi stepped forward to hold his hand, looked up and smiled, "Then Brother Jiu will take me with you." You see, I'm a prison sentence, a life-saving doctor, and a sweet and salty beautiful girl. Three identities in one, hey, how can all the good things in this world be accounted for by Brother Jiu alone? ”

Fu Jiuqu pinched her face, "There is another identity." ”

"What?" Xin Yi looked at him hopefully.

Fu Jiuqu's eyes narrowed, beautiful and narrow.

"Family."

～

In the afternoon of the same day, Xin Yi met one of the several adults who had been drinking at the same table last night, Lord Xing Cao, Lin Yu.

and his Lu clan.

Lin Yu's body is being buried, two men who look like family members are standing on the side of the bed, one on the left and one on the right, are dressing him in a life robe, the mourning hall is erected, the coffin is already in place, and even the guests who mourn have arrived.

Xin Yi followed Fu Jiuqu to pay homage to the last appearance of Lord Xing Cao.

There are obvious strangulation marks on the neck, which is consistent with the characteristics of hanging on the cantilever beam. In addition, Lin Yu's skin was visibly yellow, which was the same as acute lead poisoning, and Xin Yi once again suspected the monk Mito.

Lu wept bitterly and said that her husband would not kill himself.

"My lord has been looking forward to his son for most of his life, and his son is not yet a year old, so where is he willing to leave our mother for a few miles?"

Xin Yi took out the yellow rune paper and asked her.

"Have you ever seen this?"

Lu Shi was stunned, looked at Xin Yi, and then looked at Fu Jiuqu, his face turned red.

"Where did you get this, where did you get this? Didn't they all melt into the water and take it? ”

Xin Yi and Fu Jiuqu glanced at each other, invited the Lu family to the side room, and retreated.

"Please also ask my wife to tell me what happened last night slowly."

It took Lu a long time to clarify her family affairs with Xing Cao.

Omit those mentions, there is only one core: Lin Yu has been having nightmares lately, and often wakes up in the middle of the night. happened to meet the half-immortal who came to the door, saying that he was guided by God to eliminate disasters for him, gave him three spiritual runes, and told him to hang the talisman on the bedside to ward off evil spirits. If it does not heal for a long time, or if it encounters an emergency, you can take one dose of Fuhua water a day, and you will be cured in three days.

"I'm also skeptical about this, how dare something from an unknown source fool his mouth? It's just that when I came back from the banquet at the house of the regimental training envoy last night, my lord couldn't give up, and he actually took the three spirit runes together. ”

Xin Yi asked, "After taking it, did he have any abnormalities?" ”

Lu Shi shook his head, then thought about it, and nodded again.

"At first, it was fine, but in the middle of the night he suddenly said that he had abdominal pain and nausea, and he wanted to get up and go to the toilet. I wanted to accompany him, but he scolded me......"

Lu wiped the corners of his eyes aggrievedly.

"I argued with him for a few words, and the old man was furious, slammed the door, and went to the guest room alone."

Xin Yi asked her again: "When did the Lu family find out that Master Xing Cao hanged himself?" ”

Lu said: "I also didn't have a good night's sleep, the sky was bright, so I went to knock on the door, the master should not, I thought he was still angry with me, so I went to the stove and wanted to cook porridge for him personally...... Until the time of eating, the old man still couldn't scream, so I panicked, asked people to remove the door panel, and went in to see, my family officials ...... He had hung his neck on a beam, and a mosquito net had ended his life! ”

As he spoke, Lu began to cry again, beating his feet and taking care of his chest, and kept blaming himself.

Facing a lady who had just died of her husband, Xin Yi and Fu Jiuqu didn't say anything more, exchanged glances, and said goodbye.

In the courtyard are servants coming and going, making funeral arrangements in full swing.

Xin Yi sighed suddenly, "The banquet is ready, will it be too much to arrest people if you don't eat?" ”

Fu Jiuqu snorted, "What do you say? ”

"Catch it." Xin Yi glanced up at him, "Who told her not to invite us?" ”

～

Lu was arrested.

Mrs. Cao, who was not going out of the door, was suddenly invited to the yamen by the official, which startled the guests at home.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law secretly speculated in private, some said that the Lu family stole someone to poison Lin Yu, and some said that she and the adulterer Li Yingwai worked together to hang Lin Yu on the beam.

There was a busy crowd inside and out, and rumors were spreading, but it did not delay the people from eating enthusiastically.

The government did not give any explanation, only said that the government would issue a notice after the case was concluded.

～

Leaving the Lu Mansion, Fu Jiuqu did not go to the Yuezhou Yamen, but took Xin Yi to visit Yueyang Tower.

The sun was scorching, Sun Huai took a silk umbrella and followed behind, originally wanting to come up to help the lady cover the cool air, but was slowly and methodically picked up by Fu Jiuqu.

"I'll come."

Sun Huai's two rows of tooth sockets were about to be bitten.

What kind of blessing is this little lady Zhang?

The king of Guangling actually held an umbrella for her personally?

After getting into the carriage, Xin Yi was silent for a long time before saying, "The Lu family still has a pair of children, right?" ”

Fu Jiuqu snorted.

Xin Yi raised his eyes, "Although the Lu family is full of lies, if she confesses the truth, she won't sit together, right?" If a person commits a crime, his wife and children should not be harmed. ”

Fu Jiuqu's face was expressionless, and he held her hand, "I'm not Licao, I won't try this case." ”

Xin Yi was stunned and sighed secretly.

～

The record of Yueyang Tower is as far as the Eastern Han Dynasty, but the name comes from Li Bai. This great poet was pardoned on the way to exile, climbed this building, and left the poem "The building is full of Yueyang, and the Sichuan Dongting is open", so it was named.

The two climbed the stairs.

Xin Yi looked at the glazed tiles, the hexagonal pavilion, looked down at the Dongting, and looked at the Jun Mountain in front of him, and couldn't help but think of the time when he was in college, and he traveled to Yueyang Tower with his good classmates, and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's like smoke for a thousand years, but it's just a moment."

Fu Jiuqu looked sideways: "The eleventh sister has always been free and easy, how can she suddenly sigh?" ”

Xin Yiwan smiled and shook his head, "It's hard to tell. ”

A soul nine hundred years later, when it comes to the snap of a finger, others may not feel the same way.

Xin Yi was afraid that Fu Jiuqu would ask something, so he trotted a few steps and walked in front, and his whole body fell into the scorching sun.

"Has Brother Jiu been here before?"

Fu Jiuqu approached with an umbrella and did not answer her question, but asked rhetorically.

"Eleven seems to be very familiar with Yueyang Tower?"

Xin Yi was stunned and chuckled, "The world's famous buildings, I have already heard of it." ”

Fu Jiuqu hooked his lips and smiled, half-closed his beautiful eyes to look at the corner of the cornice, and his eyes finally fell on the face of the little lady who watched the corner of the cornice.

"Eleven is a Kaifeng accent, and before marrying into the Zhang family, he lived with Yapo for several years. Ya Po said that you are an orphan girl whose parents have died, and she has some affection for her, so she wants to find a good family for you......"

Xin Yi stopped.

Fu Jiuqu put the umbrella on top of her head, stretched out his hand to smooth her falling messy hair, and said lightly: "Ya Po only accepted Liu's ten yuan and married you." It's not so much about marrying as about selling. ”

Xin Yi pursed his lips, "You investigated me?" ”

Fu Jiuqu did not deny it, and said calmly: "Ya Po once said that when Renyazi sold you to her, you were only nine years old. Because of his young age, he couldn't do work, and he still had to eat, so he only exchanged two yuan. ”

Xin Yiquan's brows furrowed, facing Fu Jiuqu.

"Why did Brother Jiu suddenly talk about this?"

Fu Jiuqu stared at her, his eyes seemed to reflect the water of Dongting, as quiet as a mirror, "You have too many secrets that no one knows. ”

Xin Yi chuckled in his heart.

Immediately, he laughed loudly, "I can't hide it, I'm not a mortal. ”

Fu Jiuqu also laughed with her, "Where did the fairy come from?" ”

Do you really believe it?

Xin Yi suppressed his smile, looked at his serious appearance, paused, and went to take his hand, "Brother Jiu, what's wrong with you?" I'm kidding you. Don't be so serious, weird and scary. ”

Fu Jiuqu's umbrella arm did not move at all, and his eyes were dark, "I want to hear the truth." ”

Xin Yi looked at him silently, his mind tumbling over.

There was silence all around.

The two men looked at each other calmly, with only the sound of the wind in their ears.

The shadow of the silk umbrella fell on Xin Yi's face, and she licked her lips, thinking of the words that were about to be spoken, and the blood in her body seemed to boil.

"Does Brother Jiu know why I have to go to Yongzhou with you?"

Fu Jiuqu: "Isn't it because you're worried about me?" ”

Xin Yi shook his head, saw his face change slightly, nodded slightly, and then pulled his hand tightly, a pair of eyes as if they had traveled through nine hundred years of time, looking at him complex and distant.

"I had a bizarre nightmare."
