Pei Daozhu pursed his lips and whispered, "It's really not good, I'll go find Second Brother Lu." I met him when I was young, and I was a childhood sweetheart. Second Brother Lu is simple-hearted, I heard that there is no concubine in his backyard, such a high-ranking son is the easiest-"

"He didn't make it."

Xiao Heng interrupted her.

Pei Daozhu was unconvinced: "Why not?" ”

Xiao Heng sneered: "What kind of character are you, and what kind of character is he?" ”

Pei Daozhu was angry.

This guy almost engraved the words "you are not worthy of him" on the door of his head!

She sneered at each other: "Second Brother Lu is elegant and straightforward, what kind of character is Brother Xuan Ce, and you are also worthy of being his old friend?" ”

The two ridiculed each other, finding it both childish and boring.

Pei Daozhu hesitated, and said tentatively: "For the sake of Second Brother Lu's face, tonight's matter ...... Can you give up? ”

Xiao Heng glanced at the shawl she was wrapping around her palm.

Xu is thinking of Lu Ji's face, Xu has had the experience of sympathy, and he reluctantly relented: "The matter of the white jade finger can be stopped." But within a month, you must leave Jinliang Garden. ”

A month......

Bae Daozhu calculated.

Even if you can't find a suitable Lang Jun in Jinliang Garden, but in another twenty days it will be the Flower God Festival, and then Jiankang City will have a triennial Flower God Festival Street Parade, if she can play the role of the much-anticipated Flower God, she doesn't have to take the initiative, and there will be countless Lang Jun who will come to ask for marriage.

A month is enough.

She whispered, "I promise you." ”

Xiao Heng solved tonight's incident on the grounds that the white jade wrench was accidentally taken into the warehouse by the maid, dismissed the people who watched the excitement, and preserved Pei Daozhu's reputation.

It's just that he asked Pei Daozhu to fish out the wrench.

Pond side.

Pei Daozhu's face darkened: "Can't you ask the little guy to go fishing?" I'm also a noble lady of a family, and I have to be perfect in my appearance and demeanor at all times......"

Xiao Heng carried the lamp: "If you don't want to have a reputation for stealing, don't count on others." ”

Pei Daozhu grinded his teeth secretly.

Xiao Xuance deliberately corrected her.

She frowned, lifted her skirt with one hand, and faded her clogs from the grass.

She stuck out her toes and gently probed the pool.

The water in the pool is slightly cool.

She is not bad in the water, and she is not afraid to go into the water, but it is really undignified.

She looked at Xiao Heng pitifully.

But Jun's heart is like iron, Xiao Heng doesn't eat her at all.

Pei Daozhu had to grit his teeth, his heart was horizontal, and he jumped into the water with a "plop".

The pond is not too deep, and the silt at the bottom of the pond is soft.

Luckily, she closed her eyes and fumbled for a moment before she found the wrench.

She floated to the surface soaking wet and threw her wrench to Xiao Heng: "Xiao Xuance, after tonight, you and I have nothing to do with each other!" I don't expect to reconcile with you again, and you don't want to trouble me for a month! ”

She straightened her wet dress and picked up the clogs.

Because she had never been so out of shape in front of people, she was a little aggrieved in her heart, and complained while walking to the boudoir: "The pool water is dirty, and there are piles of aquatic plants underneath, so I will go back to the house to bathe and change my clothes first......"

Xiao Heng rubbed his fingers.

Hearing her complain, he suddenly turned to look at her.

Jinliang Garden is newly renovated, and this pond has only been dug up recently, how can there be aquatic plants?

After a pause between her ankles, he said, "Stop." ”

Pei Daozhu turned around unhappily: "What's the matter?" ”

Xiao Heng reminded: "Bow your head." ”

Bae Daozhu lowered his head.

She was delicate, but in an instant, she noticed that there was something more on her ankle—

Hair.

At the bottom of the pool, it was not the aquatic plants that haunted her, but the ......

Human hair.

Her face turned pale instantly: "Xiao Xuance ......"

Xiao Heng commanded in a deep voice: "Come on, drain the pool." ”

The attendants who were not far away came in response, and for a moment the lights were all around, and they converged like fireflies towards the edge of the pond.

Xiao Heng glanced at Pei Daozhu.

She wore a half-worn skirt, the fabric of which clung to her skin because of the water, clearly outlining the delicate lines of the shaved shoulders and waist.

The lights are bright, her complexion is as white as porcelain, and the whiteness extends down her collarbone, and in this hazy spring night, there is a sense of ecstasy, as if she is tempting people to explore the softness.

At this moment, Xiao Heng suddenly felt that there seemed to be something different between women and men.

However, this feeling only appeared for a short time.

He untied the big hat and threw it to her: "Dress well, don't spoil the door." ”

Pei Daozhu caught Dayu and wrapped himself tightly, but there were a thousand and ten thousand dislikes in his heart.

A young girl in wet clothes stood in front of Xiao Heng, Xiao Heng's thought turned out to be ruining? !

She wished him that he would never be able to marry a daughter-in-law in his life.

She sneezed.

The feeling of being wet was very uncomfortable, and the thought of the pond water soaking the dead people, Pei Daozhu's hair stood on end, and he couldn't wait to go back to the house immediately to take a hot bath.

So she said, "I'll quit first—"

"You are a witness and must stay."

Xiao Heng had a businesslike expression and motioned to his entourage to light a few more lights.

Pei Daozhu held his breath and had to stay aside.

In just two quarters of an hour, the pool of water was pumped clean.

Soon, a corpse was carefully carried to the pond bank.

Xiao Heng held a lamp in one hand and squatted down on one knee beside the corpse: "Gauntlet." ”

The attendant respectfully presented a pair of thin deerskin gauntlets for the autopsy.

The light of the lamps is as bright as day.

Xiao Heng put on his handguards and brushed away the corpse's hair.

The corpse had long been soaked and white and swollen, and the most terrible thing was that the skin had been completely peeled off, the flesh and blood were blurred so that it was impossible to distinguish the appearance, the coat had been stripped away, and the body was short and strong, and it was a man.

Pei Daozhu only glanced at it, and then hurriedly turned his head.

The thought that she had just come into contact with the corpse under the water made her sick.

Her face was pale, and her voice was harsh: "I, can I go back to the house first?" ”

Xiao Heng ignored her.

He carefully examined the corpse's eyes, ears, mouth, nose, hands, feet, and abdomen: "The hands were clenched into fists, the abdomen was swollen, there was a sound of beating, and there was blood stained and dandruff left in the nails, which had been drowned before death." ”

He paused before saying, "After drowning, the murderer stripped him of his face and coat and pushed his body into the pond. Depending on the degree of whitish, wrinkled and peeling of the skin, he was drowned two days ago. ”

He got up: "You guys continue to search the bottom of the pool to see if there are any clues left." ”

The attendants were ordered to act.

Pei Daozhu looked tangled.

Xiao Xuance is not a noble man, why is he so familiar with the work he does?

Not only is it lowly and cheap, but it also has to deal with corpses often, which is obviously a business that only people from poor families will engage in......

Seeing that Xiao Heng seemed to be idle, she suppressed the doubts in her heart, her voice was a little softer, and even her uncle called: "Uncle Jiu, I want to go back to the house......"

Xiao Heng took off his leather gloves and turned to her.

Pei Daozhu subconsciously took a half step back.

Xiao Heng paused, glanced at his hand, and raised his eyebrows at Pei Daozhu: "Dirty? ”
