Yeats stepped forward, "Lord Hui, the first debt collector has already met." ”

"Is there a motive?" Mr. Pei is now also very accustomed to using the word 'motivation'.

Yeats replied truthfully, "Not at the moment." ”

"Hmm." Pei Shaoqing ended the conversation with a short word.

Yeats understood the meaning of one word: investigate the case well.

She has a good look! Early in the morning, the boss comes to give pressure? Yeats didn't feel any pressure, but he was puzzled, and unconsciously turned his head to look at Lord Shaoqing.

On the cold winter morning, Master Pei's face was gentle, as if he was smiling, and he felt her turn his head, and he turned his head too.

The two looked at each other.

Since the incident, the two of them have either avoided him or she has avoided it, and this morning is the first time they have looked at each other like this.

The morning light shining in from the door of the inn reflected the smile in his eyes, completely missing the cold alienation of the superiors, and projecting the warm and encouraging eyes of a boss.

Her eyes were like the morning mist in the woods, and those eyes were clear.

All of a sudden, the inn lobby seemed to have become a world for two.

Teng Chong and the others couldn't wait to disappear in place.

Belch...... Such Pei Shaoqing...... Yeats was agitated, broke free from his doting gaze, and looked away with a weak heart, "What to eat this morning, I starved to death......"

Someone finally broke the weird atmosphere, and Teng Chong immediately agreed, "Yes, what's delicious......"

The curvature of Pei Jingning's lips did not change, and he sat in the main seat.

The shopkeeper immediately served a hearty breakfast.

Everyone sat down at another table, and Yeats sat next to Teng Chong, picked up the big steamed bun and nibbled on it, like a starving ghost.

Teng Chong reacted at this time, leaned over to her, and whispered, "You brought so many supper last night, are you still hungry?" His eyes fell on her thin little body, "It's so edible, why don't you grow strong?" ”

Teng Chong secretly complained in his heart: He doesn't look like a man!

Qin Dachuan lowered his head to eat, he didn't see anything.

After breakfast, Pei and Ye pulled out of the inn and went their separate ways.

Today they went to find the most invested Liang Qiufu, who lives in the rich area of Pinghu, and several people knocked on the door as a merchant who bought raw silk, but as soon as they walked to the mouth of the alley, they saw that in the depths of the alley, there was a family making a noise, and a steward took out a long bamboo pole and put it at the door.

"Uncle Qin, this is the custom of the dead in the Jiangnan area!"

"Probably." Qin Dachuan really didn't inquire about this kind of thing carefully.

Dead people?

Yeats's heart shook, he stopped, and his face sank: "Uncle Qin, that's Liang Qiufu's house!" ”

Uncle Qin nodded affirmatively.

Yeats hurriedly strode to follow, "Brother Teng, you don't need to be a businessman, wait until you go in and directly show the Dali Temple token." ”

"Okay, I got it."

In Liang's house, the women and children were crying, and the housekeeper was busy, "Hurry up and send someone to inform the relatives...... And go and inform the patriarch to help preside over the big gathering......"

Teng Chong stood at the door of the hall with a big move, raised his hand and showed the Dali Temple token to everyone, "I am the head catcher of Dali Temple to investigate the case, who is in charge......

The housekeeper of the Liang family immediately stepped forward, "The little one is the steward of the Liang family, the official master, my master did not kill the Lei brothers......"

Sure enough, the people who knew that Dali Temple had come to investigate the case.

The housekeeper raised his sleeve to wipe his tears, "Last night, my lord went to ......"

"How?"

The housekeeper looked cautious: "Small...... I don't know, it seems to be in my sleep. ”

Yeats looked at the maiden in the courtyard while observing the housekeeper, and when the old butler said this, several of the maidens looked at a certain place unconsciously.

She walked over quietly, and found that the cloister was connected to the inner courtyard, "Where is the body of your master?" ”

The old steward looked at Teng Chong.

Teng Chong glared, "What do you see, hurry up and lead the way for Lord Ye." ”

The old steward understood, and the group, the youngest and thinnest one, was the leader, and hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way.

Entering the inner chamber through the corridor, an old woman wept and instructed the body to be dressed on the bed.

Teng Chong shouted, "Dali Temple is handling the case, and the idle people hurriedly retreat to the side." ”

came out to investigate the case today, Yan Yanzuo did not follow, just now after finding something wrong at the mouth of the alley, he had already asked Xiaofuzi to ride back to take Yan Yanzuo, and it is estimated that he will arrive in a while.

Teng Chong took Zhang Jin and a few people to control the scene.

Yeats took the opportunity to look at the room, although the room had been cleaned up, there were still traces of smashing, and it seemed that it was not peaceful last night.

The Liang family was surrounded outside the circle, the perimeter of the body was emptied, Yeats walked to the deceased, bent down to investigate carefully, the deceased's face was not calm, his eyes were frightened, before he died, he seemed to have been frightened, looked at the surface of the body, there were no injuries, as if he died of excessive fright.

Yeats turned his head, "Who served here last night and told the truth what had happened." ”

The girls and mothers-in-law looked at the eldest and waited for her to signal.

The old woman suddenly became excited as if she had been stimulated by something, "There is a ghost...... Ghosts...... The Lei brothers came to accept their lives...... Come here and take your life......" She chattered as if she had been stricken.

The housekeeper's mother-in-law shouted loudly, "Old lady, the lord has said that 50,000 taels of silver can't kill the Lei family brothers, and the person is really not killed by our Liang family......"

Ghosts?

Yeats, while listening to the housekeeper's mother-in-law comforting the old lady, looked at the smashed furniture, how was it formed?

She asked, "Except for the Liang Mansion, is there anyone else coming in?" ”

The old woman was in a mess, and the mother-in-law in charge couldn't take care of it, so she hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "Lord Hui, last night, our master slept well, and suddenly got up and went crazy, and kept shouting that there was a ghost...... There are ghosts, pick up the stool and smash it, you see, what the room is smashed into. ”

Nobody, suddenly crazy and smashing things?

Yeats paced around and saw yellow powder on the bedside shelf, "What is this?" ”

The mother-in-law immediately stepped forward, "Go back to your lord, it's a powder for treating the old man's athlete's foot." ”

Tinea pedis powder?

"What herbs are grinding?"

"Lord Hui, it is the unique medicinal herb Huangzhu Sunmill in our Jiangnan area."

There are many bamboos in the south of the Yangtze River, rich in a delicacy - bamboo sunflower, which is a kind of fungus parasitic on the roots of withered bamboo, and there is a delicate white mesh skirt at the top of the fungus stalk that spreads down from the fungus cover, which is called 'snow skirt fairy'.

Bamboo sunflower is rich in nutrition, rich in fragrance, delicious in taste, and has been listed as one of the "eight treasures of grass" since ancient times. However, although the yellow-skirted bamboo sunflower for the treatment of athlete's foot has medicinal value, it must not be taken internally.

Jiangnan people should understand.

"Do you have a habit of drinking tea at night?" Yeats asked.

The old woman nodded.

"Why aren't there teapots and cups on the bedside table?"

As soon as Yeats asked this, the atmosphere froze instantly.

The mad old lady paused and looked at the housekeeper.

The housekeeper's mother-in-law was also puzzled, "Maybe it was in the way of wearing a birthday coat for the master just now, and it was taken away by that girl." ”

Yeats looked at a group of girls, "Who is it?" ”

The girl shook her head, "I didn't take ......"

"I didn't take ...... either"

……

These girls are not stupid, when Yeats asked Huang Zhusun and asked for tea, they understood that the old man was poisoned by Huang Zhusun, and some poisonous Ru would go crazy if they ate it.

That old man went crazy last night, it turned out that he was haunted by the Lei brothers!

Everyone was silent, and they didn't dare to breathe.
