Chapter 137, Xiao Xuan didn't blink her eyes open
Shen Qi vaguely remembered that Xiaoxuan's lips were red and her teeth were white, and she looked petite and cute.
Xiaoxuan came from a brothel, but she struggled to live for it, and when she encountered difficulties, she came out on behalf of her sisters and sought a new path.
A path that allows the entire Yuchunlou sisters to continue to live in such a world.
Shen Qi has always admired people who are positive when they encounter difficulties.
Even if she or they are just prostitutes.
Therefore, the belly pockets provided by Shen Qi to them were made of the best silk thread.
This kind of silk thread is called silk thread.
Raw silk is used as the warp, while colored cooked silk is used as the weft.
Through a weaving method known as "warp and weft breaking", the weft will be cut and woven in different parts according to the pre-designed pattern, so that the pattern on the fabric will form obvious breaks between the background and different colors, as if carved with a knife.
This unique weave will bring its patterns to life, with bright colors and strong contrasts.
With Ding Yuhong's unique embroidery, Shen Qi can say that no one in the entire Xi Kingdom can copy it.
And at this moment, the belly pocket worn by Xiao Xuan, whether it is in terms of appearance, style or even embroidery, is almost exactly the same as that produced by [On the Water Side].
That is, "almost".
Because this counterfeit product is not only not made of silk, but even the embroiderer is a lot worse than his own husband.
Seeing that Shen Qi didn't speak for a long time, Peng Liangbin was a little trembling on the side.
"Your Highness......"
The affairs of the south have spread throughout the Xi country, and the north is naturally not a problem.
It is said that this Princess Shu Ning cooperated with Lord Qincha in the south and killed the southern officialdom without leaving a piece of armor, which is simply full of corpses.
Chincha-sama!
By the way, it seems that there is no Chincha-sama coming this time?
Shen Qi's gaze stayed on Xiao Xuan's corpse.
Although the corpse had been preserved as best it could, it inevitably began to stink a little as the weather got hotter.
"Elaborate on that." Shen Qi said lightly, "The process of discovering the corpse. ”
"Yes."
Although she met Cao Yuanwai's wife, Xiaoxuan still returned to Yuchun Tower with a happy mood.
"Sisters, the second batch of belly pockets is ordered!"
Xiao Xuan said to the other girls with a smile.
"Great!"
"The belly pocket [on the water side] is really good."
"Yes, Liang Gongzi couldn't put it down last night."
"Me too."
"Business has gotten a lot better these days."
"I still have money to send home!"
In the midst of the sisters' words, Xiao Xuan came to her room with cheerful steps.
Although Cao Yuanwai's wife made a mess in [On the Water Side], it was not a bad thing for Xiaoxuan.
Because Cao Yuanwai no longer patronizes her.
Thinking of that Cao Yuanwai, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but tremble in her body.
He loves torturing people too much.
And now, Xiaoxuan can finally get rid of him!
It's nice to think about it.
On this day, Xiaoxuan received guests as always.
The guests liked her new belly pocket very much, and they also treated Xiaoxuan with a little tenderness.
And on the second day, Xiaoxuan, who was supposed to come out to pick up customers, was found dead in bed.
It was the old bustard of Yuchunlou who found the body, and he was so frightened that half of his soul fell off, so he immediately found someone to report to the official.
The officials came to the scene of the crime as soon as possible.
Xiao Xuan is still the same as when she died, she is covered with a thick quilt, naked under the quilt, and a red belly pocket is worn on her body.
There were no other scars on her body, and she judged that it was very likely that she was ridden on her body and covered alive with a quilt.
So the murderer could be anyone.
At the beginning, Peng Liangbin didn't attach much importance to it, because Xiaoxuan was just a prostitute, and it was difficult to find the real culprit in this kind of "headless public case".
Therefore, he just left the body in the morgue, thinking that he could not ignore it, and was ready to take his time.
But what everyone didn't expect was that another person died the next day.
is still a girl from Yuchun Building, and her death is exactly the same as Xiaoxuan.
Two people died in a row, and Yuchun Building didn't dare to open.
In the morgue of the yamen, two corpses were placed in this way.
I thought that this matter would end here, and the government only needed to continue to look for the murderer.
Unexpectedly, after the third day, another deceased appeared, a prostitute from another brothel, and the situation was exactly the same as Xiaoxuan!
Peng Liangbin panicked at this time.
Why is this murderer so rampant?
Specifically targeting prostitutes in brothels?
Where is the head if it goes on like this?
Three people died, and this kind of thing quickly spread among the crowd.
At that time, in order to reduce panic and rumors, Peng Liangbin kept the people below silent.
But this is simply a palliative rather than a cure.
After that, he put forward a statement about the belly pocket, so there was this scene of looking for Shen Qi.
"That's basically how it all began." Peng Liangbin said everything he knew in one breath.
"Did you find the last guest?" Shen Qi asked.
"It's just that the world has evaporated."
When it came to the last guest, Peng Liangbin's head was big.
It stands to reason that there are so many people in the brothel, so many pairs of eyes, and a customer who comes to the brothel, it will not be impressed at all.
But everyone just can't say why.
"There's a good chance he's the murderer." Shen Qi said.
"This is naturally clear to the lower officials." Peng Liangbin followed.
At this time, Shen Qi and Xiao Xuan were looking at each other.
Obviously there is no livelihood, and even the corpse that is beginning to decompose, Shen Qi still seems to be able to see a glimmer of light in Xiao Xuan's eyes.
"She can't close her eyes no matter how she presses." Peng Liangbin trembled, "This is how it was when the body was found. ”
Shen Qi stretched out his Qianqian jade hand and covered Xiao Xuan's eyes.
"Your Highness!" Peng Liangbin subconsciously wanted to stop it, but was stopped by Tang Zongjiu.
Shen Qi squatted down and whispered to Xiao Xuan: "I will avenge you, you can go with peace of mind." ”
Then, Shen Qi slowly lowered his hand.
Xiao Xuan's eyes were actually closed!
Peng Liangbin was so frightened that people almost couldn't stand.
"This ...... This......! ”
The son is silent and chaotic and blames the gods!
After Shen Qi carefully looked at the belly pocket of the evidence again, he said to Peng Liangbin: "This belly pocket is not made by us [on the water side], it is the embroidery and production process of someone pretending to be [on the water side]. ”
"Is what Your Highness said true?!" Peng Liangbin couldn't find any clues during this time, and he was already anxious.
He didn't expect Shen Qi to tell such an important thing as soon as he came.
Shen Qi bowed his head and said the place he had just discovered.
"I see!" Peng Liangbin has no doubt about Shen Qi's words.
"What other instructions does Your Highness have?" He continued.
This time, Shen Qi didn't speak, but looked at Tang Zongjiu.
"Obviously, this is against [on the water side]."
Tang Zongjiu said.
