As she spoke, the old lady had already left her seat, but she wanted to go to the small Buddha hall set up in the east corner to recite the scriptures.

Cheng Wei's face did not change, and he called the little girl to come in to serve, and sent his old lady to hurriedly turn the fan, and then slowly stepped out of the door.

The curtain rolls the west wind, the sky is clear and clear, a few idle clouds hook the eaves corner, and after a while, it floats away to the heart of the sky.

Cheng Wei stood at the foot of the steps of the Splendid Hall, looking up at the sky, and there was a rare trace of tiredness on his calm face.

That murder case is indeed very tricky.

In the past month since the incident, Kaifeng Mansion has tried its best, but it has never been able to find out a clue, and what is worse is that there are more and more dead.

Although the official family also said that "a careful investigation will ensure that the real culprit is brought to justice, and there will be no mistakes and omissions due to anxiety", it can be regarded as giving Kaifeng Mansion enough time to solve the case. However, if it drags on like this, even if the official family does not pursue it, he, the judge, will have no shame to face the people, let alone the family and relatives of the deceased.

What kind of person is the real murderer?

Why is the killing method so cruel?

The dead girls were either gouged out of their eyes or had their fingers cut off, and the death was indeed as he had said to Feng before, extremely miserable.

An old official said that this fang is only afraid that his mind is a little abnormal, and that killing people is neither for wealth nor for sex, but all on interest.

If the truth is as the old official said, then the day when the real culprit is captured may be far away.

Cheng Wei frowned, his stomach was full of anxiety, and the tiredness on his face became more and more difficult to hide.

What he worries most about is his missing wife and daughter.

The convoy of dozens of people in Chengfu disappeared on the way to Taiyuan Mansion in this way, and no one was alive or dead.

After discovering that Jiang and others were missing, not only his Cheng family and Jiang family visited everywhere, but the Zhenbei Dart Bureau also sent a lot of good hands to collect information everywhere, but the results were scattered and complicated.

Now, the Zhenbei Dart Bureau has recovered most of the manpower, and the Cheng family is also because of the imminent birthday of Mrs. Feng, many places need a large number of servants, so there are not many people left, only the Jiang family is still trying their best to search.

For some reason, Cheng Wei always felt that there was something strange about this matter, and the news came too scattered, as if someone had deliberately spread it and disturbed the line of sight.

But whenever this thought arises, he will cut it off stiffly, not daring to go deeper, hoping in his heart that everything is an accident and there will be good news soon.

Cheng Wei raised his hand and pinched it hard at the center of his eyebrows.

The wide green sleeves hung down, covering his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression, and when the sleeves were lowered, his dignified face was already peaceful, and his demeanor was calmly sprinkled as usual.

Flicking his sleeves, he slowly walked out of the Splendid Hall and turned west.

Cheng Mansion is a three-in-five-way regulation, according to Cheng Ji and Cheng Wei's current official positions, but it is somewhat unusual, but his brothers live very calmly, the reason is nothing more than the words "and light and dust".

Counting up, it took less than ten years for the two brothers to successfully enter Beijing as officials, and the speed of promotion can be called fast, and they have no family background to rely on, all by Jane in the emperor's heart, which is a bit eye-catching above the court.

And now, they put this obvious non-compliance system on the table, and there is also a well-known old lady Feng in the family, both of which are things that can be participated in at any time, and the court and the court will not always keep their eyes on the two of them because they feel that they are confidants of such flawed colleagues.

From the hanging flower door, through a slender path, and then through the vase door, around the incense garden, a section of white wall appeared in front of the door, the plum branches outside the wall are horizontally oblique, and the autumn grass is separated from the drape, which is Cheng Wei's study.

Cheng Weikuo walked to it, and as soon as he turned the corner, he saw a long figure standing in front of the courtyard gate, but it was the eldest brother Cheng Ji.

He was pacing slowly outside the door, the grass blades under his feet withered, as if he had been waiting for Cheng Wei for a long time, and when he saw the latter appear, he immediately stepped forward and asked with a solemn face: "How many are there now?" ”

Cheng Wei knew that he was asking about the murder in Baishi Academy, but he didn't answer directly, but only stretched out four fingers, signaling that there were four deceased, and said slowly: "The last one was discovered two days ago." ”

"Are there so many people dead?" Cheng Ji's voice was very low, he was silent for a moment, turned his feet, and walked straight into the courtyard gate.

The small courtyard is not big, the corridor is elegant and clean, there are not too many flowers and trees in the courtyard, only the banana under the window is very good, at this time it is still from the green shadow, swaying in the autumn wind.

At this time, a little servant had already rushed over, raised the bamboo curtain in front of the door, and let the two brothers into the house.

Cheng Wei knew that Cheng Ji had something to say, so he led him to the east room, and sat down on the side of the desk, and a boy offered tea fruit, Cheng Wei waved away everyone, picked up the new tea first, and took a sip.

The tea is green and clear, the entrance is slightly astringent, the aftertaste is sweet, but it is the water that only rises this year, there is no need to boil the tea, add sundries, only the fried tea leaves are directly brewed with boiling water, the taste of drinking is shallow, but it has a clear meaning.

Cheng Ji also held his own cup, but he didn't drink the tea, only looked down at the tea smoke rising above the porcelain cup.

After a long while, he said slowly: "Second brother, if you are not happy in your heart, tell the eldest brother that it is not beneficial to sit alone for a long time." ”

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Cheng Wei's face, and there was a trace of unbearability on his face: "I see that you have lost some weight recently, and your food is still comprehensive?" ”

In front of him, Cheng Wei finally unloaded those superficial efforts, and said with a wry smile: "Where can I not eat?" There are so many maids and servants in the family, and they can serve me for a few meals. It's just that there are more things at hand now, and it's not so busy. ”

At this point, I couldn't help the long-stagnant mood, and let out a long sigh:

"Since my brother asked, I didn't dare to hide it. If I say that I am not worried or remembered, I do not believe it myself. No matter how anxious I am, I have to live this day by day. I've survived the first six years, and I'm not afraid to add a few more days. ”

After speaking, there was another sigh.

Cheng Ji was also saddened by him for a while, and was silent.

Cheng Wei and his wife have been separated for six years, and Cheng Wei lived almost like a widower in the first two years, and there was no one around him to ask for warmth, which was really pitiful.

Mrs. Feng personally took the initiative to ask for a concubine room for him, and Cheng Wei tried every possible way to shirk it, but in the end she couldn't hold up a filial piety, and finally had to respond.
