Chapter 148: Empty Coffin
Xu could see the depression of the second brother, and Ah Ruan pulled Xu Beiren's hand again:
"Second brother, you are not useless, your archery skills are very good, and you are the material for practicing martial arts! Although, you can't shoot as much archery as the fourth sister..."
The first sentence is quite comfortable, but the second half is a little heart-wrenching.
He can't compare to his own sister...
Xu Beiren was about to cry.
"Okay, Sister Ruan Ruan doesn't have to comfort me, the more comforting she is, the more uncomfortable it becomes..."
The little boy almost buried his head and cried.
Xu Wanqin patted Xu Beiren on the back and said with a smile: "It's okay, we all know you, why be sullen." ”
The two sisters walked side by side, holding hands.
After Xu Junyi finished inspecting the homework of the brother and sister, Ruan Ruan pulled Xu Wanqin out of the palace, and the secret guards who followed him along the way were also piled up more and more.
"As far as I know, the first place where the poison broke out was the flower garden in the east of the city, let's go find out their identities first, and then see if there are any commonalities."
Xu Wanqin was logically clear, took out a piece of paper, and wrote and drew on it.
Xiao Ah Ruan nodded obediently: My sister is the most powerful, Ruan Ruan listens to my sister.
The carriage slowly drove into the eastern corner of the city, and the whole street was still as usual, lively and lively, and many people were still shouting.
"Sister, how do we know the location of that person?"
Ruan Ruan found that her sister seemed to know more than her father's side.
Maybe it's because of the ability of the forces behind my sister.
Xu Wanqin didn't have a trace of panic on her face, she just took out a copy of the excerpt and said with a smile: "A copy of the excerpt played by the group of courtiers." ”
There is detailed information in it, but they need to correct whether it is accurate.
Copy? The courtier's twists and turns?
Sounds amazing.
Xu Wanqin didn't expect that she still let her subordinates do an extremely simple thing, and the glutinous rice dumplings in front of her looked at her with admiration on her face:
"My sister is amazing! Ruan Ruan will be as powerful as her sister in the future! ”
Xu Wanqin laughed, "It's not necessary, our Ah Ruan is also very powerful, but everyone has their own strengths, you have inherited the medical skills and morality of the Qing Ye Daoist, so you are naturally no worse than me." ”
Xiao Aruan half understood, but she felt that her sister was the most powerful person in the world!
After all, my mother's heart said that my sister would become a big man in the future.
The carriage stopped at the mouth of the alley, which was quite lively, and many old people were enjoying the shade under the trees, drinking coarse tea, and chatting.
As soon as the two sisters got out of the carriage, they caught the attention of the group.
"Who's young lady came to our alley?"
The people in this alley are all poor people, and it is rare to see those rich ladies arrive here.
"Uncle, we were just passing by, and we happened to be interested in some things on your side."
Xu Wanqin replied generously, and then pulled Ah Ruan to pass by, and looked left and right.
"Ah Cheng Ah Zhu, you go and see how it is over there, Ah Bai stays on my side."
I heard my sister talking into the air, and then felt a gust of wind go.
Xiao Aruan was even more shocked: This is what Uncle Chen Qi said, the master next to his sister?
It's amazing!
As soon as Xu Wanqin turned her head, she saw that the admiration in Ah Ruan's eyes was even worse, but it startled her.
"Let's go directly to the man's compound, his family is still there, just in time to ask about the situation."
Xu Wanqin pulled Ah Ruan and walked straight over, it seemed that she was extremely familiar with the streets and alleys.
Walking to the door of the courtyard, Xiao Aruan looked at the overwhelming white inside a little timidly, still doing funerals.
"I'm sorry, I'm waiting to mourn the lord of your mansion."
Xu Wanqin pulled Ah Ruan to put on a hat and covered her face with gauze, and the female dolls, one big and one small, walked in like this.
The people who were still crying and mourning looked at it like this, with doubts on their faces:
"I don't know who you are..."
"Oh, we're just the children that your lord once helped us find our home."
My sister doesn't speak without panting.
Xiao Aruan also nodded.
"We're just here to give some salutes and put on a stick of incense by the way."
The little girl added, and then took out a tael of silver.
The group looked straight at the two pieces of silver.
A middle-aged man immediately stepped forward, accepted the silver tael, and then immediately said:
"Distinguished guests, please come in, I don't know, who is the lady of the distinguished guest? My brother-in-law was able to get acquainted with such a rich and noble family! ”
Xu Wanqin pulled Ah Ruan inside, ignoring the middle-aged man's extremely greedy gaze.
When I stepped into the mourning hall, I saw a coffin in the center, with a linen ribbon of white flowers hanging on it.
"Sister, Ruan Ruan wants to see the corpse..."
Only then can there be some clues.
Xu Wanqin nodded, and with just one look, Ah Bai stood outside the mourning hall, blocking the group of people and preventing them from entering.
"What to do! How can you be such a guest! ”
A woman was shocked that something was wrong, and her face was panicked: "What the hell are you doing!" It's not like it's coming..."
"Don't worry about it."
Abba said coldly.
"Young master?"
Everyone was amazed, what kind of young master is this?
Ruan was also a little curious.
But now that my sister has pushed the coffin open, she needs to take a good look...
As soon as the lid of the coffin was pushed open, it was empty! Nothing!
"You're not lying, are you? Could it be that the man didn't die at all? ”
Xiao Ah Ruan frowned and looked at the relatives of the deceased.
Xu Wanqin also put down the lid of the coffin, and her face was even more cautious: "What about your deceased? Why don't you see the corpse? ”
"What?! I, I obviously saw my husband die! Or brother-in-law, they personally carried my husband into the coffin! ”
It's just that now there is nothing in this coffin, it is empty.
"It seems that the body was stolen."
Xu Wanqin pinched her chin, her face solemn.
"Let me ask you, did your husband come into contact with anything strange before he died? Or is there some unusual movement? ”
She raised her eyes to the woman in the doorway.
The woman was stunned and thought about it carefully, but she still couldn't think of anything.
Shaking his head, he said, "No, husband, as usual, I bought two taels of wine after returning from work, oh, I remembered!" ”
Suddenly, she thought of what her husband was still holding in his hand and putting it in the wine.
"My husband seems to have bought something to put in the wine, and he said it was a panacea!"
The two sisters looked at each other again.
"Do you know where you bought it?"
The woman shook her head sadly.
The clue is broken here.
"Ah Ruan, let's go, go find the next place."
Maybe what they have in common is the so-called panacea, and they just need to find it out...
"Don't go! How did my husband die, before he entered the coffin, he didn't look like he was poisoned, and his face was ruddy..."
Xiao Aruan paused, looked at the woman, and bit her lip: "We are investigating, I don't know for the time being, if there is news, I will definitely inform you." ”
