The second case of the hero's mound Chapter 64 Murder
Before the opening of the printing day, Qin Tianjian chose an auspicious time, first informed the light, issued a message to the world, and waited for the sixteenth day of the first month to pay tribute, and then did things as usual.
The flavor of the year has not yet fully subsided, and a spring rain falls first, sprinkled inside and outside the royal capital.
There is a peach branch trembling lightly, which will welcome the apricot rain in the city.
The flower building is still very lively, and the half-open windows are smiling and singing from time to time.
A little lady was squeezed to the window by frolicking, inadvertently glanced out, and simply lay on the railing.
In the haze of smoke and rain, an open oil-paper umbrella slowly approached, and the raindrops on the ink painting opened the lingering and sympathetic threads, overflowing along the tail end of the umbrella bone, 'ticking and ticking' like knocking on someone's heart.
The hand holding the umbrella is very white, held on the bamboo joint, although slender, the bone joint is strong, as flexible as the bamboo in the hand. A bright red cloak swaggered in the wind and rain, but the corners of the clothes were lifted to reveal a plain color, which was both intense and restrained, and the surging silence was hidden by no one.
Xiao Jiaoniang leaned out again, and suddenly wondered who was under the umbrella.
The man holding the umbrella paused for a moment, as if sensing something, and raised his head.
The little lady was overjoyed, and then the joy faded quickly, and she moved her gaze slightly on the heavy masked brocade cloth of the umbrella holder, and finally met a pair of dark calm eyes.
It is not easy to see joy and sorrow, and the eyes are as deep as the sea.
"Yingxue, is the wine not fragrant or is this world not good-looking?" A lazy and arrogant tone sounded behind Xiao Jiaoniang, waking her up.
On the soft collapse, the man's light robe is slightly scattered, and the gold embroidery is flying and shuttling in the woven gold brocade worth thousands of gold, paving all over the ground, which looks uninhibited and difficult to hide the preciousness.
His eyelids twitched, his peach blossom eyes brought out the spring color of the room, his lips were hooked, and his low laughter was mixed with the smell of wine, sexy and gorgeous, "Punish you for feeding Su Gongzi wine, mouth-to-mouth." ”
There was a burst of laughter in the room.
Yingxue ignored the person holding the umbrella outside, pursed her lips and chuckled, and said, "The slave family saw a girl's good manners and wanted to take a look, but the girl covered her face. The tone is not lacking in pity.
The others hugged her and poured wine and fed the wine, making a fuss, only the person on the soft collapse slowly got up.
"Brother Yun, what are you going to do?" Su Zhi had two or three little girls on the left and right, dragging him to prevent him from moving, so he had to shout at the top of his voice: "Take me-"
As soon as the door closed, the sound stopped abruptly.
—
In front of the other door, Yun Qi packed up his clothes, the drunkenness in his eyes was gone, and the smile was still on the corner of his mouth, but it was different from Fang Cai.
Guanyue pushed the door open for him, and he said inside: "I regret it now, I should have let you see the body and the scene that night." ”
The person in the room turned around, and he was not surprised, "This is what the prince asked me to come to say?" ”
In the same flower building, separated by a few wings, compared to the wine over there, there is a pot of tea for one person here, which is very light and elegant, making people suspect that it is not the same place.
Yunqi poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Ordinary people can't enter the Jixia Palace, so they have to wronged Miss Lu to come here to drink tea." ”
Lu Anran sat across from him, "I am fortunate to see the world's 'don't ask about the wind and the moon, but ask for the day and the night'." ”
Guanyue stood behind Yunqi, and when he heard this, he glanced at Lu Anran a few more times, but he didn't see anything, as if he was just stating a fact.
Yun Qi ran his index finger across the rim of the cup and chuckled: "You see? ”
Lu Anran actually didn't see it clearly, but from the half-open window, he saw a lot of figures shaking, accompanied by various warbler sounds and swallows, and then he thought of Yunqi coming over just now and was full of wine, how could he think of it.
The two didn't say anything on this topic, Yun Qi said: "It was the maid of the Gu Mansion who died, you should have heard about it, and there is another important point." ”
At the mention of Gu Fu, Lu Anran's brain was excited, "Won't it be her?" ”
Yunqi: "Unfortunately, it's her." ”
Lu Anran just guessed casually, but she didn't expect it to be the maid, thinking of the day before the Shangyuan Festival, she still shouted and scolded her feet, and died quietly in the dark alley on the back foot, life is impermanent.
Yun Qi knocked on the table a few times with his backhand: "What's even more unfortunate is that this case is the same murderer as the three cases that happened more than three months ago!" Lu Anran, you said that you have a crow's mouth. ”
On the first day of taking office, Master Yun, who encountered a series of cases, was depressed.
Lu Anran was unmoved and said: "It stands to reason that the prince should be in the Criminal Division now." ”
Yun Qi said lightly: "I found someone to sit in the Criminal Division." ”
Lu Anran: "The son of the world is now?" ”
Yunqi: "I'm idle. ”
Lu Anran put his palm against the teacup, was silent, and asked a question that he had been thinking about for a long time: "After the prince came to the royal capital, I heard a lot of celebrity affairs about the prince, and now I don't think the prince is such a person, why do you have to behave absurdly in the world?" ”
Yunqi talked about something else, "Jixia Palace has been reopened, except for a few such as my grandfather's family, the Yin family of Anxia County, the Lu family of Mengdu, Lanzhou County, and Mingshu County, etc., without exception, they have all sent their sons and daughters to come, is it almost all here." ”
Lu Anran was stunned, and before he could figure out his head, Yun Qi said slowly: "Mengzhou belongs to the Ning Dynasty, but it is independent of the Ning Dynasty, if you are the emperor, what will you think?" ”
Lu Anran made a simple and clear judgment, "Acceptance, integration, and stability." ”
Yunqi smiled: "Understood? We are all protons. ”
Lu Anran exhaled very slowly, her father once tried his best to prevent her from coming to the royal capital, and even changed the list to Lu Jianyu, it was she who forced her to attract Liu Xiang's attention.
"I heard that Liu Xiang's handwritten letter was sent to Lu Junshou's desk, do you guess he has a lot of pity?"
Lu Anran's tone turned cold: "The prince knows a lot. ”
Yunqi plays with taste: "Naturally, there are more secrets, and you can live longer." ”
Lu Anran remembered the rumors of the rights and wrongs of Yunwangfu, and his inquiring gaze swept over Yunqi's smiling face, this person was a little true and a little false.
"Why did the son of the world say this to me?"
Yunqi made a surprised look, "We have this relationship, you still need to ask?" ”
The corners of Lu Anran's mouth twitched, "Although we have the same position now, and we really don't think about it, but the sacred heart is unpredictable, and the emperor will have some doubts." ”
Yunqi deliberately said something vague, and seeing that Lu Anran was not fooled, he shook off the jade bone fan a little boringly, "You just have to contact him more so that you won't suspect it." ”
Lu Anran frowned, and heard Yun Qi explain: "On the night of the Enrong Banquet, I had a pretense of traveling with you at night, if we didn't communicate in private, what would he think?" ”
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Anran thought that the emperor must be suspicious of what else happened that night, and even the two of them had ulterior motives.
"This son is famous, you might as well spread it out in the sun, and in the end it is just a romantic affair."
Hualou's shopkeeper sent two plates of desserts, one was steamed chestnut cake with osmanthus sugar, and the other was fried golden cream pine nut roll crisp, Lu Anran loved sweetness, she picked a cream pine nut roll cake.
In addition to flower wine, the most praised by the people of the royal capital is dim sum. This creamy pine nut roll in the hand has a fluffy appearance, distinct layers, smells fragrant, and is sweet and crispy in the mouth, making people happy to eat.
Yunqi watched her eat when one hand lifted the corner of the masked brocade, and the other hand blocked it with the sleeve, although it was elegant, but it was very inconvenient, and he couldn't help but say: "The noble lady of the royal capital is veiled, and she wants to cover her shame, there is an extra layer of hazy beauty, and you are sincere, a piece of 'Atlas' is covered tightly." ”
'Atlas' means tie-dye, and people in the seven counties of Mongolia love to use this fabric because of its soft, light and flowing texture, but also cotton, and it is best protected from wind and sand.
Lu Anran finished eating the snack in his mouth before replying: "The prince knows it, why ask knowingly." ”
When Meng Du first met, after Yunqi killed the man in black, he threatened Lu Anran with a dagger, but now the two are drinking tea and eating snacks face to face, talking and laughing, which is also another kind of impermanence in life.
Yun Qi joked: "You are peaceful, is it that you are all regarded as dry bones in the grave regardless of your appearance." ”
Lu Anran took a sip of tea and slowly raised his head: "The bones are not the same, the beauty is in the bones, and the son of the world is better than most people." ”
Guanyue silently watched the two of you come and go, thinking carefully and moving, hearing this, her eyelids twitched-
Miss Lu is molesting the prince?!
Yun Qi was teased once, and raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, but when he saw Lu Anran's calm eyes, he subconsciously determined that she really felt so when she said this. Relatively speaking, Lu Anran is one of the few people he has seen, who comes from the heart and is extremely sincere in what he says and does.
Yunqi's heart was a little ashamed of being blackened by ink, but after a moment's effort, he immediately returned to his true colors and said, "Do you know what kind of mess I took over? In the past ten years, there have been a total of 23 murders and serial murders in Wangdu. Seven of them were cracked, and the remaining fifteen were determined to be unsolved cases, and the last three cases were all killed by the same murderer, so they were merged into one case. ”
And added: "Now there is one more deceased in this case." ”
Lu Anran rarely saw Yun Qi emotional, and asked, "Could it be that the Gu Mansion is pressuring?" ”
Guanyue couldn't help but say: "Miss Lu doesn't know that on the first day of Shizi's appointment, Gu Fu came to make a big fuss about the criminal department, and asked Shizi to rush back with a word." ”
Lu Anran had seen Gu Fu act, and she had been indiscriminate at the inn where she stayed, searching and questioning a person when she caught it, and immediately pulled people away if she had the slightest suspicion, which was very rampant.
If it was just for a maidservant, Gu Fu would naturally not do this, but the gangsters who hurt the county lord of Rong'an have not been caught so far, and if something happens to Gu Fu again, he will definitely vent his anger.
In this way, you can also think of going to the Criminal Division, but I didn't expect Yunqi to be so strong.
"What did the prince say?"
Guanyue held back a smile, and said with a slightly distorted expression: "The Gu Mansion is menacing, if you have to mention the murderer to find out the murderer, the prince will tell them: Pull the body back and check it yourself." ”
Lu Anran felt that this was something that Yunqi could do.
Yunqi looked at the sky and sighed: "You don't know, Yuan Fang of Jingzhao Mansion is really not a thing, he carried the corpse to the criminal department before dawn." ”
Lu Anran thought about it from Yunqi's perspective and said, "The case that happened before the prince took office has been classified as an old case. ”
Yun Qi's eyelids twitched: "Am I afraid of this?" I'm afraid of your crow's mouth! ”
Lu Anran: What does "......" have to do with her?
Guanyue rubbed her nose and said, "After more than three months, the murderer commits another crime, maybe there will be a deceased." ”
