As soon as Liu Ya and Yu Chi Qingqiao arrived at the six-door coroner's room, a little servant of the Liu family chased her from the Servant Mansion to report that her aunt and cousin Xue Jinxiu and cousin Xue Runcong had arrived.

Yu Chi Qingqiao took out the autopsy toolbox that she was used to but was neatly put away from under the wooden frame, and lit all the glazed palace lamps that she had specially asked to be placed in the room before, lighting the dim and gloomy coroner's room like daylight, and at the same time, it was even more embarrassing that the woman kneeling on the coroner's table couldn't bear to look at directly, and the enclosed space was filled with the strange smell of blood and white turbidity rotting.

"This is no longer a zombie that can be presented within the normal range. After putting on the mask and gloves and putting on the waterproof gown, Liu Ya carefully looked at the female corpse, she had traces of being whipped and burned by dripping wax all over her body, and the clothes that should have been luxurious were now tattered and glued to the terrible wounds, and the loose hair still smelled of urine.

Liu Ya motioned to Yu Chi Qingqiao to help her turn over the female corpse, and a face that was forever frozen in pain and horror and distorted came into view, and in her slightly open mouth, there was still a white turbid liquid that had not been drained but had been dried up when her cheeks were pasted down, and her (down) inside (face) could be described as inhumane in four words, the small place was destroyed to the point that a fist-sized hole fell, and there were obvious burn marks and sharp hard objects around it, and there were also dried white turbidity left.

Seeing this, Liu Ya, who boasted of having read countless tragic corpses, couldn't help but turn around and take a breath, suppressing the depression that was surging up in his heart, before he came back and picked up scissors to remove the clothes of the deceased one by one, and after screening them from head to toe again, while dissecting the corpse, he said to Yu Chi Qingqiao, who had already picked up a pen and paper to make a record:

"The time of death was this morning, and both palms were pierced by their own fingernails, and from the degree of dilation of the pupils and the contents of the stomach, it was determined that the deceased had taken female eyebrow medicine, and that the suspicious drug that had almost been masked by the smell of female eyebrow medicine, and that this drug should have caused the deceased's body to appear abnormally stiff. ”

Although the deceased was covered with obvious scars, they were not fatal injuries, her real cause of death was the bursting of the veins (blood vessels), and it was not caused instantly, but through the stimulation of the other party in the process of pleasure, she died of a little bit of pain, her mouth and the bottom (body) have traces left by the man who had been ravaged and very deliberate, and the fetus in the womb had died in the abuse before the mother's death. ”

Yu Chi Qingqiao furrowed his brows as he recorded.

Liu Ya finished explaining the other conditions of the corpse in detail, sewed the dissected corpse back finely, and then took off the gloves, gowns and masks stained with blood and minced meat, and slowly washed her hands, Yu Chi Qingqiao handed her the autopsy reports of the previous two cases:

"The corpses of Fu Ping and Ximen Shan have long been taken away from the Daotai Mansion by the Shangshu Mansion and the Xingyi Marquis Mansion of the Ministry of War, and in order to prevent the ugliness of the family from being publicized, they have also destroyed the corpses and disappeared to publicize them with their sudden illness, although the autopsy report of the Daotai Mansion is not as detailed and detailed as yours, but there are a few points that are still the same, and I think they can still be used as a reference. ”

Because the smell that filled the autopsy room was too stimulating to the sense of smell, and they could not open the windows to ventilate the corpses on the premise of storing the corpses, they moved to the corridor in front of the autopsy room and sat side by side under the lanterns.

Liu Ya circled the similarities and differences of the three cases with the small charcoal pen she carried, as well as the doubts of each case, and then discussed their own views on these three cases.

"If it were you, wouldn't you be unable to find a perfect way to push this thankless case aside, wouldn't it be better to replace it with other quick catches, such as the Soldier's Shangshu Mansion and the Xingyi Marquis Mansion, and expose it at will? Why are you so obsessed with finding the real culprit?" After the discussion ended, Liu Ya's tone was casual and casual.

"Don't you think I'm standing in the position of the Zhengyi Marquis Mansion and taking the opportunity to attack the Military Department Shangshu Mansion and the Xingyi Marquis Mansion?" he said with a smile.

"If this were the case, their 'family ugliness' would have been known all over the city. "Although it is true that such a case should not be publicized when the facts of the case are not stabilized, for fear of creating panic, but after passing through the Daotai Mansion and then changing hands on the case of Six Doors, it was inadvertently leaked in the process, and it could not be relied on by Yu Chi Qingqiao.

He said, "It's just a matter of seeking government in his position and letting him do his duty." ”

Liu Ya wanted to speak, and suddenly a warm hand quietly reached out from behind and put it on her forehead, "!"

Yu Chi Qingqiao was also startled and quickly swung his fist to the back, "-Door Master?" As soon as he turned around, he paused in shock and urgency.

Yuwen Qiuye said softly, "How cold is the autumn night, sitting on the ground like this, the cold will invade the body, and you will get sick." ”

"It's not cool-" Yu Chi Qingqiao subconsciously took over the words, but as soon as he spoke, he suddenly realized that it was Liu Ya who was sitting next to him, not Cheng Qing, who had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he would not get sick in a heavy rain, thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Liu Ya, who opened Yuwen Qiu's hand, only to feel that her face was indeed a little pale compared to before in the clear light, "-I'm sorry, I was negligent." ”

He wanted to take off his coat and put it on her, but he remembered that he seemed to have been running around for several days, and he hadn't changed his clothes for several days, and in hesitation, a dark purple robe with a light mint fragrance wafting in the wind carefully wrapped Liu Ya's small body and hugged her waist into his arms, and then said, "This is the end of the discussion of the case." ”

Yu Chi Qingqiao only has the right share.

Liu Ya didn't bother to make a senseless struggle, let Yuwen Qiuye hold herself, swaggering in the six doors, she did already notice that her body temperature was low, but she thought she could bear it, and she wanted to sort out the case quickly, so she deliberately ignored it, she buried her head in his arms, listening to the rhythmic and strong heartbeat, and when she almost fell asleep, a familiar male voice called in surprise:

"Miss!" followed by anxiety, "Something happened!!"

Liu Ya opened her eyes and saw the little maid in the mansion hurriedly running up the steps of the six doors, "Young Master Xue, he wants his aunt to sleep!"

Yuzhu is the housekeeper set by Liu Gui himself, and the original attendants in the house all call her an aunt, Liu Ya felt that her drowsy head suddenly swelled and ached, and asked Yuwen Qiuye to take her back to the house as quickly as possible.

But the farce in the house is even more chaotic than she imagined.

In the courtyard of Changle Xiaozhu, Yuzhu, who was only wearing obscene clothes, had her hair messily draped in Mo Qiutong's clothes, gritted her teeth and knelt on the ground, obviously shivering with cold, but her waist pole was straight;

Five paces away, a chubby young man in a bright blue brocade robe stood motionless as if he had been pointed, and beside him there was a woman in a thirty-year-old Chinese costume, who was angrily scolding Yuzhu and Fennel with one hand on her waist and the other pointing at Yuzhu and Fennel, and scolding extremely harsh and ugly words, if it weren't for Fei Teng's expressionless face standing in the middle like a partition, I am afraid that the woman would have pounced on Yuzhu and Fennel with her bare hands.

And Mo Qiutong and Mo Kaichan were both dressed in clothes, with a wrinkled face, standing under the eaves.

The surrounding house was full of attendants and servants who dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, the right prime minister, the flying general and the auspicious imperial history, were also among them, even though they were stared at by countless pairs of eyes, but the woman in Chinese clothes still took care of herself as if she didn't realize it, and still played the role of a shrew who scolded the street to the fullest:

"Obviously, it was you who seduced him when he was receiving him! Now I don't want to obey, you must know that a person like you, the top of the Qinglou is more than ten taels of silver! If you hadn't seduced him, how could my family Cong'er run to your room in the middle of the night? A fox girl still pretended to be innocent, and shouted at a group of people to see our jokes, what kind of heart do you have? Are you a trading house that stuffed into our Liu family's fine work? When Yaya comes back, I will tell her to peel your skin and take a closer look! Isn't it just a cheap girl? I can't cure you——"

"—that's enough. The voice that was interrupted coldly and the purple clothes that danced steadily fell in the courtyard.

In the eyes of joy or worry or worry or worry, Liu Ya got down from Yuwen Qiuye's arms, ignored the fleeting dizziness, indifferently swept over the woman in gorgeous clothes who looked at her behind her, and said to Yuzhu and Fennel with red eyes, "Get up and speak—"

The woman in the gorgeous costume who had just opened her mouth to speak was not happy when she heard this, pulled down her face, stared at the big eyes of the copper bell and said, "No!" Her voice was sharp, as if Yuzhu and Fennel were some heinous prisoners, and said resentfully, "You don't know, this slightly beautiful seduces Cong'er, and this cheap hoof that looks like a bear kicks and beats Cong'er-"

"Fourth aunt. Liu Ya glanced at the woman in Huafu with an expressionless face, and indifferently interrupted again, "Do you want this matter to be solved by me personally, or take it to the court to deal with?"

Liu Sigu was intimidated by Liu Ya's unusually strong momentum, her open mouth was stuck, and she couldn't take it for a long time, so she heard Liu Ya say to Yuzhu and Fennel again, "I don't want to repeat the same sentence twice." ”

Fennel knew Liu Ya's temperament well, and was busy helping Yuzhu up, but her foot was injured when she kicked Xue Runcong, Yuzhu knelt for a long time, and her legs and feet were numb, and the two of them got up and knelt down again, Fei Teng, who was standing on the side, immediately grabbed one with one hand and lifted them up.

"When the fourth aunt and cousin first arrived, I was entrusted with the case of Six Doors, and I was unable to meet them in time, which was my fault. Liu Ya's expression remained unchanged and said to the dark-faced Fourth Aunt Liu, "I haven't been able to explain my rules here to the Fourth Aunt and my cousins, so that such a contradiction has occurred." ”

"What do you mean by that—" Liu Sigu said unhappily.

"I mean, each mansion has its own rules, and I don't care what the fourth aunt likes to do with your attendants on weekdays, but if you want to use your rules to deal with my attendants, I won't accept it. Liu Ya said, "Yangzhou Liu family has the rules of Yangzhou Liu family, I also have my Liu Ya rules here, if the fourth aunt is not willing to respect me, then I am not reluctant, all the inns in Beijing are as you choose, I will be packed, let you use during your stay in Beijing." ”

Fourth Aunt Liu looked at her in disbelief, "Yaya, you, you drove my aunt and cousin away for the sake of two—"

"The fourth aunt thinks that my rules are strict and difficult to follow, and she is unwilling to stay with me, so why should I drive you away?" Liu Ya smiled innocently and said, "Just as the fourth aunt likes to call the maids a cheap maid, but I prefer to call them attendants, but I have no intention of pointing fingers at the habits of the fourth aunt, and I also hope that the fourth aunt will not rely on the identity of the elder to deny the attendants I have carefully raised, or does the fourth aunt actually think that it is me, the head of the family, who has not been well educated, so that they can seduce and kick the guests at will?"

The seemingly light words are full of pits with thorns, Liu Sigu didn't expect that the little girl who was soft and weak before would become so sharp and sharp, and most importantly, her temperament has also undergone earth-shaking changes, she began to believe in the rumored six doors test, that is, this niece is right, thinking that she is still the princess of the Western Desert now, no matter how dissatisfied she is, she doesn't dare to resist stubbornly, after all, the purpose of this trip is to find a wishful husband for her daughter, and she must not have a stiff relationship with Liu Ya, let alone leave the Liu family!

Liu Sigu's mind turned, and she hurriedly smiled, "The fourth aunt knows that you have always been sympathetic to the servant, but this matter can't be all blamed Cong'er is not, he is tired of running around, and when he is sleepy, he goes to the wrong room in the thatched house, this girl is like the sky is falling, and it shocked the whole mansion, I saw Cong'er was beaten and screamed, and I couldn't help but use my mouth when I was impatient, you also know that I usually treat Cong'er and Xiu'er as a baby, and it is inevitable to lose the square inch for a while, don't get me wrong, the fourth aunt didn't mean to accuse you!"

Seeing that Fourth Aunt Liu had found a good step and rushed down, Liu Ya said, "Since it was just a misunderstanding, I don't want this matter to make any splashes in the future, seeing that Fourth Aunt and Cousin Runcong are still in good spirits, I will also take this opportunity to introduce to you this slightly beautiful child, called Yuzhu, the steward of the mansion, directly obeys my orders and helps me manage the mansion;"

"And this bear-like child, called Fennel, my personal maids, they are all my brother hard to dig back from others to take care of my daily life, is my most powerful left and right hand, the fourth aunt also knows, my body has never been very good, if any of the hands and feet are injured, my brother will be distressed, Cousin Runcong also knows that my brother's temper, asking for responsibility and settling the account book like the six relatives do not recognize, that is, my father and my mother join forces to take him has no problem, and even I have to listen to him when the time comes!"

Liu Ya looked at Xue Runcong's pale face with satisfaction, and smiled at Liu Sigu's stiff sneer at the corner of his lips, and threw all the 'pots' that would 'affect' his reputation to Liu Gui in a few words, and then continued to smile innocently, "Okay, it's not too early, let's go back and rest." ”

This is the end of the farce.

Liu Ya asked Yuzhu and Fennel to go into the room with him.

"Sister-" Mo Qiutong looked worriedly at Liu Ya who stepped into the eaves.

"—what's wrong with you, your face looks bad. Mo Kaichan stretched out his hand and touched Liu Ya's cheeks, which were cold and cold by the night wind.

"I've been busy dealing with the case, I just feel a little tired, it's already halfway through, you can go back and rest. Liu Ya was afraid that he would find something wrong, so she asked the sister and brother to worry about her, so she had to smile and pull down the hot palm that touched his cheek, and drove him and Mo Qiutong to rest.

Mo Kaichan and Mo Qiutong had heard Fei Teng say that after Liu Ya had eaten at his aunt's house, he was entrusted to go to the six doors to help investigate the case, and they knew that Liu Ya would ask Yuzhu and Fennel about tonight's affairs and help them deal with their wounds, so it was not good to waste any more, and they each said a few words before going back to the room, but before leaving, they all swept over the Yuwen Qiu page that they walked to the pavilion in the courtyard and sat down with complicated and strange eyes.

In the room, Liu Ya took out the medicine box and rubbed the medicine for Fennel's red and swollen cheeks, and then checked the bruise on her knee, seeing that Yuzhu wanted to speak several times and stopped, she chuckled, "What kind of goods Xue Runcong is, I know very well, you don't need to think that you did something wrong, I don't have a conflict between the master and the attendant here, the fault is all in the attendant's reasoning, just to wronged you to expose this matter——"

"Yuzhu knows that Miss is solving this problem for my own good, although he insulted me without success, but it has always damaged my reputation, you are afraid that I will be harassed by the gossip in the house in the future and will not be able to gain a foothold, so I will avoid the truth and deal with it, it seems that you are on their side, but secretly you protect me!" she said, choking and kneeling, the tears that she had been holding back before were like pearls with broken threads.

Liu Ya stopped her from kowtowing her head, helped her up, took the handkerchief handed by Fennel to wipe away her tears, and looked at the bruises and eye-catching finger marks on her neck, if this kind of thing is replaced by other noble families tonight, either sell Yuzhu as a scourge, or give Yuzhu to Xue Runcong as a room, and then give it a little more as a concubine, which is very cruel, but it is the law of the operation of the world: "If you can understand my intentions, it will be good." ”

**

After asking the ins and outs of tonight, Liu Ya asked Yuzhu and Fennel to go down to rest, and called other people to come in to serve, and after taking the medicine and taking a cold bath, the discomfort that was about to sweep her into the abyss disappeared, and she just wanted to get into the soft quilt to find a meeting with Zhou Hui, and the maid called Zhu Yu said, "Miss, King Ye is still in the pavilion." ”

"......" She thought he was gone, and now it was too late, and it would be dawn in a while.

Liu Ya continued to drill into the bed, "You go and tell him, I'm resting." "She was really tired and didn't have the energy to deal with him anymore.

"Yes. Zhu Yu took the order, turned off the lights and left.

Liu Ya didn't know how Zhu Yu explained to Yuwen Qiupage, but when she felt that she was about to fall into a dream, a shadow pressed down, and then the scorching breath invaded her strongly, and the familiar soft and domineering lips were attached to her lips, like the tongue of a spirit snake quickly attacking the city and sweeping the ground, she could only push him vaguely in the gap between breathing:

"Yuwen Qiupage, I'm tired. ”

"Well, I just want to punish and punish Ya'er, and I will tear down the river after crossing the bridge. Yuwen Qiuye let go of her and reluctantly pecked her lips.

Liu Ya didn't want to open her eyes, and she didn't bother to argue with him, how to cross the bridge and tear down the river when she sent her home, turned around with a sigh, and became a slave of dreams again, and only woke up when she saw a letter with residual fold marks lying on the coffee table next to the bed, she picked it up and saw that it was a letter from Murong Jiang to her.

In the letter, Murong Jiang asked her how she was doing, and also said that what happened in Beijing, he had heard Murong Zhao say it, congratulated her on becoming the princess of Ximo, told some interesting things that happened with Murong Jin and Murong Yun when she was filial piety, and then told Murong Zhao that she planned to find a house near her home, so that she could treat Murong Jin, and when Murong Zhao was ready, she would come back to Beijing again.

Murong Grandzi and the Hong family and Murong Sa died, and Murong Tian was sent to the uncle's house in Chaoyi Bofu, Murong Jiang and the concubine Murong Jin and Murong Yun have a better relationship, which is also a good thing, Murong Yun, as a concubine, has been manipulated and oppressed by the Hong family and Murong Tian in the past, but fortunately, her temperament is safe and well-behaved, and now she has changed her fate.

And Murong Fu, who squeezed into King Qing's mansion with his biological mother, was accepted as a concubine by King Qing for the sake of the old Murong Pavilion, as far as she knows, King Qing has not yet set up a side concubine, and at present, Zhang Yingying is only set as a (un)married concubine (wife), the house is not considered a room, and there are still several concubines, even if they compete for favor and fight for their heads, but this road was chosen by Murong Fu herself, no matter how bitter and painful it is, she can only bear it herself.

After Liu Ya finished washing and opened the door, she saw Kang Yazhi, who had not been seen for a long time, sitting in the gazebo in the courtyard with a big grin, drinking and eating fragrant side dishes with Fei Teng.

"......" Liu Ya thought of something for a moment, and looked at Fei Teng speechlessly, "He can't be the old friend you said, right?"

Before Fei Teng responded, Kang Yazhi happily grabbed his shoulder and patted Lehe and said, "I am a friend of life and death, I am also quite surprised to know that he will escort you to the West Desert, I have invited him to enter the six doors together on an errand three or four times before, he was too troublesome to refuse, I didn't expect to take over such a big trouble as you in order to repay Jiang Zhiyu's favor!"

Liu Ya stared at him coldly, "What do you call me such a big trouble?"

"Ahem, I was wrong, you're a sweet potato now. ”

Liu Ya held back the twitching of a shoe thrown in his face, hugged his chest and smiled: "When I was not at home, you ran to my house quite diligently, right?

The smirk on the face of Kang Yazhi, who was poked in the center, froze, and he saw Liu Ya suddenly say with a sudden face, "So you have a crush on me!" At this time, Yuzhu walked out of the corner, and when he heard this, he looked at him along Liu Ya's line of sight, and then his face suddenly opened, and he smiled at him very harmlessly.

Kang Yayuki's heart trembled, followed by a violent beat, and before blushing, he sneered, "Who has a crush on you!"

"Why don't you have a crush on me, you always run to my house, and you always inquire about me? Could it be that you want to assassinate me?" Hmph, asking you to deliberately find me for Yuzhu, Liu Ya bent her eyes and said with a smile, swept over Yuzhu who was wearing clothes with a standing collar, and took the dust washing banquet list she handed over, "Everything else is fine, tell the kitchen, the tableware used on the table from today is soaked in boiled green onion water, and each dish is sprinkled with more green onions, the fourth aunt has liked the taste of green onions since she was a child." ”

"But miss, don't you like the smell of chopped green onions?" Yuzhu said suspiciously.

Kang Zaizhi also knew that although Liu Ya didn't hate the smell of green onions, he didn't like it, and when he could avoid it, he tried to avoid it, so he saw Liu Ya suddenly look at him with a smile and said, "The fourth aunt is an elder, and the preferences of our juniors should naturally be ignored for the time being, and this lunch is my compensation for failing to meet her." ”

She said it vaguely, but he understood, Xue Runcong didn't like the smell of green onions like her, and even hated it to the extreme, so he knew in his heart that the irritability and dissatisfaction that arose after Yuzhu was bullied were soothed in an instant, he knew that Liu Ya's disposal last night was good for Yuzhu, but he couldn't help but blame Liu Ya for letting Xue Runcong go so easily, and more because he was unhappy with the willful and naïve ideas he had, so he deliberately looked for her stubble.

"If you look at me again, I'll think you really have a crush on me!" Liu Ya raised an eyebrow and laughed as Yuzhu turned the corner.

Kang Yazhi suddenly laughed and said, "I don't like a small bean sprout like you!"
