"Dead again?" Xiu Yuan's eyes rolled, and then Xue Yunyun's pale face and blood-red lips came to mind, and what frightened him the most was her bewitching smile.

"Yes, if you die like this, you will alarm the Son of Heaven in Bianliang, this is a strange case, now our Tiantai Town is going to be famous. Fang Lin sighed, "It's all because I'm incompetent, I can't even figure it out until now, and I don't have any clues." ”

Seeing Fang Lin Xian frowning, Xiu Yuan wanted to tell him about the weirdness of Xiuzhuang, all of this was done by the snake demon, I don't know how he would react.

"I didn't tell you about Xiuyuan, I just got the body back to the yamen, I have to go back and tell the adults quickly, by the way, your father is also with Lord Lu, and if something so big happens, he has not had much rest in the past few days. ”

"Uncle Fang, I'll go over with you. Xiu Yuan felt that the matter was big, and it was necessary to tell the government what he had seen and heard.

Fang Lin nodded leisurely, and then went to the yamen with Xiu Yuan.

Mao Chun, who had just come out of the yamen and was about to go home, saw Fang Linxian coming with his son, and immediately came over, "Xiuyuan, why are you here?"

Xiu Yuan stepped forward, "Father, I have something to tell Master Lu." ”

"Master Lu, what's the matter with you now that you're so anxious about the murder?" Mao Chun looked at Xiu Yuan with a solemn face.

"What I'm going to talk to Lord Lu about the murder," Xiu Yuan looked at his father seriously, and Mao Chun nodded after looking at Xiu Yuan for a while, "Then you can go." "He understands his son and is definitely not a casual joker.

Xiu Yuan immediately turned around and looked at Fang Lin Xian, "There is also Uncle Fang who has told my lord." ”

Fang Lin Xian nodded, walked in, and after a while, Xiu Yuan and Unswerving, who were waiting outside the door, saw Fang Lin Xian walking out dejectedly.

"Uncle Fang," Xiu Yuan walked over, "what's wrong with you?"

Fang Lin sighed, "Your Excellency wants to suppress the matter, and resolutely disagree with the report, I know that Your Excellency is for the reputation of Tiantai Town, but the current situation is obvious, and we can't control it." "Fang Lin Xian is already a head and two big.

Xiu Yuan comforted him, "Uncle Fang, don't worry, I'll go to see the adult, does he agree to summon me?"

Fang Lin Xian nodded, Mao Chun and Lord Lu have also been friends for many years, and Mao Chun was also an official in the early years, so Lord Lu still agreed to summon Xiu Yuan for the sake of Xiu Yuan's father's face.

"Go ahead, my lord is waiting for you. ”

Xiu Yuan nodded and looked at him, "You can go in with me." ”

Unswerving walked in with Xiuyuan.

Lord Lu is still an official with a good reputation among the people, so he has a good relationship with Maochun in private, and he is no stranger to cultivation.

"Lord Lu," Xiu Yuan came in and saluted him.

"Xiuyuan, get up quickly, it's not like you and my uncle and nephew don't have to be formal, sit down. Lord Lu beckoned Xiu Yuan and the two to sit down, and he immediately sat down, "Just now Fang Lin said that you want to tell me about the murder, what is the matter?"

Xiu Yuan simply said bluntly, "I heard that many young men have died inexplicably in the town, and the way they died was quite cruel. ”

Lord Lu nodded, I'm afraid I can't hide the truth from the people for long, "Yes, I found a body by the river this morning, and the way of death is the same as before, it can be inferred that the same murderer committed it." ”

Xiu Yuan paused, "Lord Lu, I'm afraid this matter won't work if we don't report it to the above, we do have strength-"

Without waiting for Xiu Yuan to finish speaking, Lord Lu waved his hand, "If you persuade me to report to the top, don't say it, you don't understand the matter of this officialdom, Xiu Yuan, your father is also here today, and what he said is exactly the same as you, but it really doesn't work, I can't report it, when the time comes, my black yarn will not be small, and I am afraid that a large number of people will be involved in the blame, including Fang Lin Xian." ”

Xiu Yuan didn't understand the affairs of officialdom, but when he saw Lord Lu's attitude, he knew that it was useless to persuade him, he nodded, "My lord has a hard time Xiu Yuan understands, that day I met Boss Xue of Yuntai Embroidery Village, she was very suspicious in her night clothes on the street at night, and I felt that she wanted to commit a crime against me, but fortunately, the official brother arrived to be rescued, and she didn't do it and escaped quickly." ”

"What do you mean Xue Yunyun of Yuntai Embroidery Village?" Lord Lu frowned and raised his voice, "What can she do as a little woman, how can she be a murderer of your dignified five-foot man?"

Xiu Yuan has already thought of it, and no one believes it.

"My lord, I can testify that the boss of Yuntai Embroidery Village is definitely not an ordinary woman who looks delicate and can only be handmade as a woman. Unswerving couldn't help but interject.

"Who are you?" Lord Lu looked at the men's clothes angrily.

"He's my sworn brother, my lord. Xiu Yuan hurriedly added.

"How can you testify? Did you see her murder or did she show the murder weapon to you?" Lord Lu blew his beard, feeling that what the two of them said was simply a fantasy, "By the way, you first tell me what the murder weapon is? How did the deceased die? Is Boss Xue a fierce beast? The dead are all young and strong men, how did she do it with her weak look, do you have a helper? Don't tell me what kind of monster this Boss Xue is, I can't hear this." ”

Lord Lu's gushing words made Xiu Yuan completely smash what he was about to say in his throat.

"My lord, I-" Xiu Yuan was about to say something, and Lord Lu had already made an impatient expression.

"Okay, okay, go back quickly, don't meddle in the affairs of the adults in the children's family, have time to accompany your father and mother more, meet Boss Xue in the big night, let me ask you first what you are doing when you don't sleep at home and run out at night?"

At this time, Xiu Yuan was completely speechless, he swallowed his saliva and glanced at him, and he glanced at Lord Lu and scolded in his heart, What kind of parents are these?

"Hurry up and go home, you give me more attention, in the future, at night, no, I have to go out less during the day, who knows when the murderer committed the crime, when you have an accident, what will you do with your father, you are an old man, okay, you go home quickly, I am also tired, I haven't had a good rest in the past two days." Lord Lu gave an eviction order to stand up and go back to the inner hall, Xiu Yuan They knew that this trick would not work and were embarrassed not to leave, so they stood up dejectedly, and looked at Lord Lu for a moment, she poked Xiu Yuan secretly with her elbow, and glanced at the robe under Lord Lu.

Xiu Yuan looked over with Unswerving eyes, and was also stunned for a moment, a brightly colored undershirt was revealed under Lord Lu's official robe, inlaid with gold edges, and the style pattern, even if it was only the tip of the iceberg, it was enough for Xiu Yuan and Unswerving to recognize where it came from.

It turned out that Lord Lu was also wearing the clothes of the Yuntai Embroidery Workshop.

Lord Lu, who entered the side hall, sighed, and when he raised his eyes, the delicate woman was half-lying on the Luohan chair he had used, with her elbow supporting her head and looking at Lord Lu who walked in.

"You, you, you, it's really restless, you said what you were doing when you went out in the middle of the night, let Xiu Yuan see it, this kid actually suspected you. Lord Lu sat next to her.

This woman is none other than Xue Yunyun.

"Who Xiu Yuan is, I don't know him, how can you doubt me, I can't kill people as a woman. ”

"That's what I said, anyway, it's really not been peaceful lately, so it's better for you to be careful. ”

Yun Yun clinged to Lord Lu like a snake, and said coquettishly, "You know me, I don't know anything except the female red tailor." ”

The sound that made anyone feel crispy when they heard it, and the peerless beautiful face made Lord Lu also indulge in it, he changed his tired face just now, showed his lustful eyes and smiled, picked up Xue Yunyun and walked to his bed, "I don't know you yet." ”

Yun Yun delicately touched the back of Lord Lu's shoulder and smiled smugly.

Xiu Yuan and Unsung walked out dejectedly.

"Actually, I thought about it, Lord Lu won't listen to us. Xiu Yuan scratched his head, and his steps were slightly heavy.

Bu Shi smiled, "It's not strange, it's good that you didn't tell her that Xue Yunyun became a monster, otherwise he wouldn't have blasted you out and would have gone to your father to sue you." ”

Xiu Yuan also laughed, "You are still laughing, when I saw that Lord Lu was actually a guest of the Yuntai Embroidery Workshop, I really didn't know what to say for a while, what kind of magic did this embroidery workshop have, or did it cast a witch?"

He patted Xiu Yuan on the shoulder, "There will be a way." ”

Xiu Yuan raised his head, the sky was gray, and the city was full of that strange fragrance, the terrible thing was that no one could smell it, and the sad thing was that only he could smell it but didn't know what to do, and the funny thing was that even the parents and officials in this town were actually bought by the embroidery workshop.

The two men walked home, and the pedestrians along the way were as usual, as if the recent murder had not made the people uneasy.

On the contrary, the smell of the street became stronger and stronger, because more and more people wore the clothes of the embroidery workshop, both the woman and the young and the old.

Xiu Yuan looked at the people passing by, and he nodded, "Unswerving, have you seen it?" Xiu Yuan whispered in Bu Shao's ear, and when he looked over, everyone's faces were wearing fake smiles, and their cheeks were too exaggerated red.

"It's strange," Bu Shi looked at Xiu Yuan, "Did so many people in the town wear the clothes of the embroidery workshop two days ago?"

Xiu Yuan shook his head, "There are more and more, like a plague." ”

He felt sick when he saw the patterns on his clothes, the half-snake skin and the unfinished patterns he had seen in the embroidery workshop that day, and the bloody flesh that swam in the blood tank.

"You see," suddenly unswerving as if he had discovered something, "most of those patterns are white, but now some of them have begun to turn red. ”

Following the unswerving look, Xiu Yuan did find that the white patterns on some people's clothes had begun to turn pink and red, and then looked at the faces of these people, although they were flushed, but there was a blue and black under the eyes, and the faces under the cheeks had begun to turn white.
