Chapter 45: Self-Inflicted Cleverness
Li Yunmin stopped her with a smile, and gently wiped the sweat from the tip of her nose with her fingertips, "Qin Ji is guarding outside, you get into the carriage and wait for me first." ”
Seeing Mo Shuoyue biting her lip and hesitating, she had to approach her and whisper in a low voice: "Jiang Yuan." ”
Mo Shuoyue's gaze involuntarily skimmed in the direction of the mourning hall, and when she saw the petite white figure walking out from behind the mourning hall, she paused sharply in her mind, and then realized that Li Yunmin's sudden closeness to her was actually delaying time for Jiang Zhen, and she was actually ......
She couldn't help but feel surprised, but she could only pretend that nothing happened, blessed herself, and said goodbye to her master's house, and then left in a hurry.
After all, Lu Shun has also been an official in the court for many years, and he has always been accustomed to Li Yunmin's indifferent and fierce thunder methods, where can he imagine that he can be so generous and gentle to others, and then think of it, his unique token is on that woman, and he does not dare to slack off, and he is careful about the proportions of etiquette, for fear that he will do something wrong and make Li Yunmin displeased.
——
"I'll tell you, I didn't have much hope just now, I just crawled into the coffin to take a look, but I didn't expect to be found! You don't know, the corpse hasn't even changed its clothes, it's still wearing the one from that day, the clothes are all torn like that, the Lu Mansion is also a big family, why is it so cold......"
"Getting to the point." Li Yunmin interrupted directly.
Jiang Zhen concisely refined his words a little, and continued: "This mutton fat jade is at the foot of the corpse, it should have been thrown in at random...... The corpse is Lu Yin, I can be sure of this, this mutton fat jade is also the original piece, it is this talisman ......"
She put the rune paper and mutton fat jade together on the small table, pointed to the formless, word-like vermilion pattern on the rune paper, and said: "Some people worship Taoism and will pray for some specific meaning of rune paper to be placed on the corpse, I have also seen some, but the pattern of this rune is really a bit strange, I have never seen it, is it because the Lu family is originally from Hetian country, so some tomb customs are different from ours?" ”
"The people of He Tianguo do not believe. They have their own beliefs, and their gods, do not draw symbols. Mo Shuoyue spoke slowly.
At this moment, she finally realized that these two people had obviously been finalized in private, and they were simply veterans of such a thing.
deliberately tempted Jiang Yu to come to Lu Mansion to investigate, she was still guilty, but now looking at the two people in front of her talking about the case seriously, she suddenly felt that who was using whom?
Li Yunmin asked: "You walked this rune paper directly from the corpse?" ”
"What are you afraid of, I do things and be thorough." Jiang Zhen patted his chest, "There are more than ten or twenty pieces of such rune paper, I just took one, and I also deliberately tore a piece of rune paper, divided it into two, and put each under the two shoulders of the corpse to ensure that no one will find out." ”
After listening to this, Mo Shuoyue and Li Yunmin glanced at each other, and both sides saw helplessness in each other's eyes, and they kept silent very tacitly.
This person, stupid to the end, most afraid of being so stupid with a little cleverness or two, especially speechless.
This dress is not changed, the mutton fat jade is thrown away at will, and the coffin is hastily sealed, and the discerning person understands at a glance that the Lu family does not attach importance to this Lu Yin at all, and it is very likely that they will not check whether there is anything wrong in the coffin.
It wouldn't have been discovered, but if you want to cover it up, Jiang Zhen is afraid that he is the first person in Kyoto.
Thinking that Li Yunmin asked this, he was worried that Jiang Yunmin would ignore the burial customs of others, and make something random and commit a taboo. The dead are greater, and they must always be respected.
But when Mo Shuoyue heard that there were more than a dozen or twenty identical rune papers, the doubts in her heart couldn't help but deepen.
She had never heard of the people of He Tianguo, was it because they came to Kyoto and followed the customs?
It's just that what does this symbol represent?
Mo Shuoyue held up the rune paper high, and the sunlight from the car window poured on the jute paper, and the fine gold dust shone brightly, like stars.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, rubbing them slightly, lost in thought.
"Goo~Goo~"
A sound sounded in her ears, Mo Shuoyue pulled back her thoughts, and saw the two people in the car looking at her in unison, her expression was still a little unbearable, and she was at a loss at first, and finally realized in the second cooing sound that it was the singing voice in her stomach.
Mo Shuoyue felt that the tips of her ears were a little hot, and she pretended to be calm and put the rune paper on the small table again, tapped it twice, and said: "Such a delicate jute paper sprinkled with gold dust is obviously specially used by Yizhou for the court, and ordinary people have never seen it at all, and this talisman will not come from the people." ”
As soon as Jiang Zhen heard this, the jokes and abuses that came to his throat suddenly disappeared, and he exclaimed:
"What? Is this Yizhou jute paper? This is a piece of paper with more than 100 gold, and the court officials can only get rewards from the palace. It's actually used to draw talismans like this, tsk, it's really a tyrannical thing! ”
She cautiously picked up the narrow and slender rune paper again, with a look of regret, "It's the first time I've seen this kind of paper, even if the Lu family has it, it's still used for funerals...... Oh, my God...... Hey, no, I remember that the prince doesn't use this kind of paper....... Shuoyue, you didn't grow up in Lishui County, how could you recognize this kind of paper at a glance? ”
Oops, a quick mouth!
It's easy to deal with a person like Jiang Zhenyu who is only occasionally clear-sighted, but looking at Li Yunmin's seemingly inquiring gaze, Mo Shuoyue couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
This kind of paper is often obtained in Prime Minister Su's house. In her previous life, when she occasionally visited Prime Minister Su Cheng in the study, she had seen it a few times, because of its unique appearance, which was different from other types of paper, and she still remembered it.
However, in this life, she has never entered the Su Mansion.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, Mo Shuoyue quickly chose one, her eyes slightly surprised, "Isn't this kind of paper occasionally found in every official's mansion?" I saw it in Loei when I was a child, and when I saw it today, I suddenly remembered it. ”
"How can all kinds of officials have Yizhou jute paper!" As soon as Jiang Zhuo got into the case of the dead man, his brain seemed to be opened, and he immediately captured the contradiction in her words, which Mo Shuoyue could only blame for her misjudgment and underestimating Jiang Huan.
"Only officials above the third grade in the court can be rewarded by the palace every year, and Lu Shun can occasionally get special rewards from the palace because he is the sacrificial wine of the country's eunuch, but when you were a child, the Li family was just a six-grade petty official, how could this grade be ......?"
"Don't forget, the two ladies that Li Mu married." Li Yunmin directly cut off Jiang Yuan's words, and did not let her continue, "One is from General Ran's Mansion and the other is from Rong Yushifu, both of them were once members of the third rank of the court, and if they were brought over as a dowry, it would be impossible." ”
