When I came back from Jixia Palace in the evening, I heard a dog barking before I got closer, and when I got closer, I saw several earth dogs of different colors surrounded by the gate.

Lu Anran got down from the carriage, raised his eyes and saw Mo Yan jumping on the roof, watching the moon and leaning on the sword by the door frame, and immediately stood up straight when he saw the person, and greeted: "Miss Lu." ”

Lu Anran bowed his head and looked in from the gate, Yun Shizi was standing under the half-bald osmanthus tree.

"No way." Mo Yan stood with sharp eyes and jumped behind Wufang, "Hurry up, get these dogs away." ”

Wufang swept him coldly, Mo Yan was not stunned, and was still instigating: "Take out your momentum and smash them." ”

Lu Anran was surprised to find that wherever there was no way to pass, those dogs stopped barking, and actually stepped back a little, as if sensing danger.

Mo Yan raised his head in satisfaction: "Big brake." ”

Guanyue kindly solved Lu Anran's confusion and said: "Mo Yan's family runs a dog farm, and he has been the most recruiting dog since he was a child, and if he has no way, he will do the opposite. ”

Lu Anran looked at Mo Yan's face, seeing that he hated dogs so much, and actually loved the dog family.

Who knew that Guanyue hadn't finished speaking, "His father slaughtered the dog, it is estimated that there was a lot of killing, and the ink was also a little tainted, and the dog could probably smell the bloody killing intent, so he barked when he met him." ”

Lu Anran was surprised: "Don't you like him?" ”

Guanyue was even more surprised, how could Miss Lu think so, which dog would like a dog killer?

Several people settled in the courtyard.

Guanyue was surprised: "Why is this tree bald?" ”

Mo Yan pouted: "The bald tree is so ugly." ”

Lu Anran: "......" is just a tree, why should we look at people's requirements?

Yunqi just heard Chunmiao talk about the bumpy experience of the osmanthus tree, and chuckled at this moment: "You have this kind of good medicine left to me, and in the future, Su Ji will be grateful to you for interrogating prisoners in the Criminal Division." ”

"No, not necessarily."

"It's a shame that the tree is bald." Yun Shizi said: "This place is broken Feng Shui. ”

Lu Anran thought so, "It's a pity, the osmanthus cake after the autumn has to be made a lot." ”

Everyone else is used to the way the two get along, Chunmiao also sent tea with a smile, and said: "Osmanthus cake is not available now, but Miss ate honey/juice lotus ice powder at Yipinxiang yesterday, and the slave maid learned to make some today, do you want to taste it?" ”

Yunqi waved his big hand, Chunmiao happily went down to serve dessert, Mo Yan's eyes lit up, and he secretly followed Chunmiao to the kitchen.

Wufang stood quietly on the side, looking at the bustle in the courtyard, familiar and distant, as if his stagnant heart had touched a little vitality in the world.

Yunqi didn't like desserts, so he took a bite and put down the bowl, and Zhao Wufang went over to say a few words.

Mo Yan slipped out of the kitchen, wiped the corners of his mouth, rubbed next to Lu Anran, and snorted: "You are biased with the surname Lu." ”

Lu Anran lowered his head and ate the sweets in the bowl and did not answer.

"Why do you have a room to live in, I'll drive the horse for you, and sleep on the roof!"

Lu Anran looked up after eating: "It turns out that you want to live in the room, I thought you liked the spacious roof." ”

Mo Yan: "......" looked so serious that he had no room for refutation.

Just as Yunqi and Wufang finished speaking, Lu Anran asked, "Is there no case in the Criminal Division?" "I'm just going to talk about you.

"Su Ji is still in Chaya's idle murder case." Yun Qi's peach blossom eyes lifted up, bringing out a little narrow smile, "Speaking of this, the emperor also scolded the second prince for this." ”

Lu Anran was puzzled, although the second prince was present, it obviously had nothing to do with him.

"The reason is that Nangong stopped going to the palace to make a report, and he also took himself, saying that he was interested in the spring banquet, and dragged the second prince forward. As a result, the emperor felt that the second prince was not responsible, and he was suspected of framing others, and he was guilty of being a prince, so he punished him for thinking about it. ”

Lu Anran recalled the noble and elegant man, and said: "With the son of Nangong as a person, he will never be difficult to make it difficult. ”

"Tsk, you know him well."

"I know Shizi better."

Yunqi listened.

Lu Anran commented lightly, "Peach blossoms are overflowing." ”

Yunqi's wide sleeves are lightly spread, the silver light flows, the lining of the face is glamorous and pressed with spring flowers, and the autumn colors are hidden. ”

Guanyue said: "Speaking of which, the emperor has frequently recruited Dongyue real people from Sanyuan Palace to enter the palace this month, as if he is divining something, but he has reached a critical point, and there has been no progress, and the second prince just happened to touch the mold. ”

Lu Anran had heard it on the day he was recruited into the palace, but he didn't expect that after all these days, he was still calculating, which seemed to be a very important thing for the emperor.

"Putting up a dojo practice? Looking for the elixir of life? Mo Yan scratched his hair, "Isn't that all there is to it." ”

"What kind of dojo practice, how do you know about dead people?" A voice interjected horizontally, coming from the entrance of the courtyard.

The crescent-colored robe, the eyebrows and eyes are handsome, and there is a hint of sickness in the pale face, it is Su Ji.

As soon as I came in, I saw everyone holding a bowl of desserts, and said happily: "Leave me to work as a coolie in the Criminal Division, you will be free." ”

Guanyue silently pushed the bowl back and looked at Yunqi, which meant that the prince took us out for a walk, and it had nothing to do with us.

The jade bone fan in Yunqi's hand turned around skillfully, and said lazily: "What dead person?" The identity of the big brother at the bottom of the lake has been found? ”

Su Ji shook his head, and there was a serious look between his eyebrows, "There is a murder in Sanyuan Lane, which may be a little troublesome. ”

Yun Qi's movements in his hand paused, and the person sat up straighter, "Murder? ”

The corners of Su Ji's mouth moved, as if he was uncertain, and said, "Suicide." ”

"It's simple, you ask his family to go to the government to close the case."

Su Ji picked up his robe and sat down, knocked on the table, and said to Chun Miao: "Trouble for a bowl." Then, he said to Yunqi: "It's strange, it's strange, it looks like he killed, but it's indeed a suicide." ”

Yun Qi rubbed his chin: "Ghost upper body? ”

Su Ji frowned slightly: "Shizi, don't talk about ghosts during the day, and don't talk about people at night." ”

Mo Yan & Guanyue: "......" You're the opposite.

"Seriously, you guys must have thought it weird when you went to see it." Su Ji didn't finish speaking, Chunmiao brought the dessert, he picked up the soup spoon and started eating, the temperature was just cool, in the early summer, the entrance was warm and cool, and the stomach was comfortable.

The wind is soft, the laurel leaves cover the sun, the sun shines from the gap, mottled and separated, a courtyard, although small and quiet, accompanied by a dessert, no wonder this group of people does not move a step for a long time.

It's just that in this elegant environment, instead of drinking tea and fighting with poetry, it is a conversation about murders, which always shows a bit of weird incongruity.

"Swallow gold to death?" Lu Anran frowned.

Su Ji remembered that scene, shook his head and said: "Not only gold nuggets, but also jewelry hairpin rings, when I died, my throat was bloody, and I was still stuffing it in my mouth." ”

Yun Qi put two fingers on the table and tapped, "Are you sure there is no second person present?" ”

"The doors and windows of the room are locked, and there is no trace of anyone else." Su Ji affirmed.

Yunqi stared at Lu Anran, "If there is a problem between the two of us, it is easy to be murdered as soon as we encounter it." ”

Lu Anran shook his thousand catties and said: "The son of the world is blessed with the sky." ”

Yunqi sneered: "Sharp teeth and sharp mouth." ”

"Oh yes, you know the man who died." Su Ji said, thought about it again, and added, "At least I've heard of it." ”

"Who?" The two spoke in unison.

Su Ji: "Do you remember Liu Wu in the Yixian Huxian case?" ”

Lu Anran was stunned: "It won't be her?" ”

"It's not." Su Ji waved her hand, "The dead woman is her husband's outer room." ”

Yun raised his eyebrows: "Rich and leisurely to find the seller's outer room?" ”

"And!" Obviously, Su Ji didn't finish his words.

The two looked at each other, and Su Ji said mysteriously: "I found a divine fox mark on her body. ”

"What sigil?" Yunqi has a look on his face, can you finish it in one breath, otherwise you will get out.

Su Ji spread his hands: "No, that's all." However, the Divine Fox Mark is real, as if she let the fox fairy bewitch and lose her consciousness before she couldn't control herself from swallowing gold and committing suicide. ”

Su Ji took out a piece of paper, on which he drew a little fox with a black pen, with long narrow eyes and a sharp mouth with a smile, which inexplicably made people feel a little evil.

"The sigil was scarlet, and it was on the left arm of the deceased." Su Ji laid the paper on the table for the two of them to look at carefully, and said: "The prince once said that the Xuanmen has a technique that can confuse people's hearts, and it happens to be related to the divine fox, so do you want to arrest the woman who pretends to be a fox fairy?" ”

Watching the moon is difficult: "She is very cunning, I'm afraid it's not easy to catch." ”

After saying that, he found several pairs of eyes staring at him together, and hesitated: "Did I say something wrong?" "That little woman is indeed as slippery as a loach, and there are so many ghost ideas that even Qi Shang can't help it.

Chunmiao blinked: "It won't be difficult to catch." "She'd seen it in the morning.

Lu Anran nodded: "Well, it's next door." ”

Moonwatching: "......"

—

It was a little difficult to find Lu Taotao during the day, so Su Ji left someone in the courtyard next door and took Yunqi and his party to Sanyuan Lane.

Sanyuan Lane is close to Xuanwu Street in the West City, most of which are the houses of wealthy merchants and squires, the size is staggered, and it is quiet in the middle of the noise.

"Liu Wu's husband's outer room is named Jin Yu'e, and he has a mansion in Sanyuan Lane, and the family has a lot of property." Su Ji briefly introduced the situation, not long after the murder, and the others have not had time to investigate.

Lu Anran asked: "It turns out that she is from the royal capital, not Yi County?" ”

"It seems that I have a little bit of land in Yi County, so I go to Yi County every once in a while before I get acquainted with Liu Zhiquan." Su Ji said: "She also has a house in Yi County. ”

Yunqi's peach blossom eyes were slanted, and she seemed to smile if she didn't smile, "What is her identity, why does she have so much property in her hands." ”

Su Ji: "It's not clear, this is still for the previous fox fairy case, when the case was closed, it has nothing to do with her, and there is no further investigation." ”

Yun Qi didn't say anything, Jin Yu'e was not a criminal at that time, even if the identity was clear, and it was impossible to predict what she would do in the future, it was impossible to catch her to get to the bottom of it.

The carriage stopped at the mouth of the alley, and several people walked into the alley, passing by the first few households, which was Jin Yu'e's house.

The second courtyard is much bigger than where Lu Anran lives now, and the land of the royal capital is expensive, and it is not an exaggeration to see that this family property is quite rich.

"The deceased's maid's name is Xiaohong, she delivered lunch and found that the door was locked, and she shouted a few times but didn't respond, so she poked a small hole in the window next to her." Su Ji led people to stand in front of the windowsill outside, pointed to half of the window with a small hole in it, and said: "This is it, she saw Jin Yu'e with her mouth wide open, her eyes wide open, and blood flowing down from the table all over the ground. ”
