The same and dyeing cloth workshop in the blue dyeing street in the west of the city.

There were two officials standing at the gate outside the courtyard, with solemn expressions, and no one should approach.

Inside the main room, Liu Ling stared at the two bloodstains on the ground and thought about things.

According to the clues provided by the three of them, the young man in the green shirt should have been the first to arrive at the crime scene, and the scene at that time was no different from this time, which means that the crime scene that the three of them saw was the same, but the order was different.

According to him, when he was at home from work today, he overheard someone shouting for help in the alley, so he took a few neighbors out to check, and when he followed the sound to this side, he saw the door of the shopkeeper's courtyard wide open, and there was a mess inside.

He usually works here, how can he not be anxious when he sees this scene, he shouted a few times, saw that no one answered, and the door on the other side of the back room was half open and half hidden, he hurried into the back room for fear of what would happen, and reported the case as soon as he found that the shopkeeper's family fell to the ground and died.

The capable official nodded, he also took the thin man to the yamen after arriving at the scene as soon as possible.

After checking, the time of death of the deceased should be in the first half of yesterday night, that is, around midnight, the symptoms are obviously poisoning, the food on the table has been tested with silver needles and no traces of poisoning have been found, the rest of the house is safe and sound, and the fights all took place in the front hall.

Since it's not for money, it's vendettas.

The thin man in front of him has been excluded, and the guy in the restaurant is even more impossible, and the only thing left is the young man in the green shirt.

On the way here, Liu Ling has actually been testing him, although he has not fully explored the answer he wants to know, but he is sure that he will not know martial arts.

Liu Ling had never seen the poison in the deceased, but looking at his death and the two blood states on the ground, it was a bit like the "corpse training Gu" of the Five Immortals Sect.

"Practicing corpse Gu" rarely appears, and Liu Ling also heard a certain senior talk about it by chance after the witch Gu disaster.

Listening to what the thin man said, Shopkeeper Xue is usually kind, very friendly to the cloth mill workers, almost never deducts wages, but is a little afraid of guilt, and is a well-known "good old man" in the west of the city.

If it was said that Shopkeeper Xue had a grudge with anyone, he would not believe it if he was killed.

Could it be that this bloody case is related to the Five Immortals Sect?

Yesterday in the Leaning Moon Valley in Miao Mountain, he personally confirmed from the mouth of the old true man who admired the Xuanguan that the Gu in the dead splashing skin in Tianli Village that day was the "Red Phosphorus Gu" of the Five Immortal Sect.

In this way, the strange guy in the mouth of the old Li Tou of Rita Li Village is really the remnant of the Five Immortals Sect?

The reason why he didn't make much of a move was actually for some unknown cover-ups?

Five years ago, if there were really people who were lucky enough to steal the existence of the Montenegrin Miao people, how could they easily let go with their unscrupulous and ruthless methods? Besides, if they came all the way to the west of the city to kill an honest cloth dyeing shop owner, they were really not afraid of startling the grass and snakes?

Liu Ling couldn't help but be upset when she thought of this, if the strange guy in the mouth of Li Zheng Lao Li Tou was really not a Miao person in disguise, that person would probably stay in the city at this moment.

Whoever that person is or what his purpose is, he must find out as soon as possible.

As for how that person escaped the inspection at the east gate of the city, he had to talk to the thin monkey when he went back.

Thinking of this, Liu Ling suddenly gasped, as if she remembered something incredible.

He stood up quietly and gathered the three Chen Wen in the room together, and the four of them whispered together for a long time.

After a cup of tea, Chen Wen and his entourage left with the thin man and the guys in the restaurant, leaving only a few ordinary yacha and Liu Ling and Li Yunfeng who were carrying the corpses in the house.

After Liu Ling's advice, the veteran official in the house who was patrolling the streets in the west of the city nodded.

Li Yunfeng was a little puzzled, why did everyone else have left, and he still had to stay here?

I'm still suspicious of that.

Sure enough, after the burly leader Liu Ling finished explaining, he turned his head and looked at Li Yunfeng with a smile, and said, "Li Gongzi, there are still a few things you don't understand, let's talk while walking?"

Li Yunfeng was stunned, Liu Ling knew that he would not refuse, so he turned around and walked out of the house first.

The house was still in a mess, there was still a faint smell of blood in the air, Li Yunfeng's stomach was overturned, he covered his mouth, hurriedly followed Liu Ling, and walked out of the courtyard together.

A timely breeze blew, as if blowing away someone's bad luck, Li Yunfeng let go of his palm and took a big breath.

It's still free air!

Liu Ling, who was walking in front, looked strange, as if she was smiling bitterly.

Li Yunfeng followed Liu Ling out of the courtyard, and after turning and turning through Qingzhitong Alley, the two walked towards a small wine shop in the west of the city.

Far away from the wine shop is still a dozen steps away, there is a strong aroma of wine in the air, Li Yunfeng looked up at the sky, and a round of the sun moved westward, it turned out that it was already past noon.

Li Yunfeng looked embarrassed, his stomach turned over and vomited for a long time in the morning, and he didn't feel it in the dyeing workshop just now, but at this time he was already hungry with his chest against his back, and there were bursts of gurgling sounds in his stomach.

The shopkeeper of the wine shop saw that it was a messenger who came in, and he seemed to be the leader in the outfit, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he personally came over and asked the two guest officers if they needed something?

After Liu Ling led Li Yunfeng to sit down, he stretched out a hand to the shopkeeper and said, "First serve a pot of wine, as for what side dishes to eat, it's all up to this son." ”

When Li Yunfeng saw his expression, his heart suddenly shuddered, it was just an ordinary hospitality matter of who ordered food for dinner, but he was still a little at a loss at this time.

Since I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd, you might as well boldly guess, this guy wants to order food after a meal and wants to make himself pay for it, right?

The corners of Li Yunfeng's mouth twitched, it shouldn't be, how can he say that he is also an errand boy, he can't be so unreasonable.

The shopkeeper smiled and bent over, turned his head to look at Li Yunfeng, and was stunned just as he wanted to speak.

I saw that the man was wearing a green shirt with blood stains on it, and he was followed by a yamen arrester, could it be that the young man in front of him was a villain?

The shopkeeper froze for a while, this situation has never been seen before, the thief who was the official caught drinking in the wine shop together?

But looking at the look of the fast catcher, it is a little different, how can there be officials and thieves who talk and laugh?

Li Yunfeng pursed his lips and said with some embarrassment: "Let's order it for Brother Liu, I am just afraid that the order will not be good, and it will disturb Brother Liu's wine." ”

When the group was on the way to and from the west of the city before, Liu Ling had quietly talked, and the two naturally knew each other.

Li Yunfeng was proud in his heart at the moment, thinking that I have called you big brother, you are always embarrassed to let me pay for the meal, right? Besides, they all made it clear that they were new to this place, even if they were not friends, but because of a murder case, they should have a little favor, and you must have invited this first meal.

Liu Ling didn't know the little Jiujiu in Li Yunfeng's heart, so she nodded, "Then I'll come." ”

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to greet the shopkeeper and ordered a few side dishes at random.

Among them, there was a dish called "Flying Phoenix Chasing Snow" that attracted Li Yunfeng's attention, and it seemed to be quite expensive when he heard the name.

Li Yunfeng wanted to ask, but Liu Ling just looked at him and didn't answer, saying that he would find out later.

After the tea is over, the dishes at the restaurant are complete.

Li Yunfeng opened his eyes and was disappointed, the so-called "flying phoenix chasing snow" was just lychee chicken in later generations.

A small piece of chicken breast was wrapped in the middle of the lychee, and two slices of wolfberries were pasted on it, and I didn't eat less at that time.

What Shinto "Flying Phoenix Chasing Snow", the name is elegant, and it also suits the occasion.

In fact, this is not to blame Liu Ling, when today's seventeen continents, this lychee is considered to be the exclusive product of the Southern Liang Kingdom, except for a very small number of treasures that are only counted as royal private ownership and as a tribute to the Jingyu Dynasty, compared with other general quality, although the dynasty does not prohibit the absolute sale, but for ordinary people, it is also extremely rare.

The lychees of the Southern Dynasty are generally divided into two seasons, March and April are counted as one season, and June and July are counted as the other season.

At this time, it is March, which is a good season for lychee harvest, and the "champion red" is the best.

In the Southern Dynasties, except for the "Champion Red" in the first season and the "June Green" in the second season, which were not sold to the public, the others were all strange goods and habitable things that merchants of the three dynasties vied for profit, but due to the short cycle of fresh storage after lychees were picked, ordinary small merchants and hawkers with insufficient financial resources did not dare to purchase them easily.

I heard that the royal family of the nomadic tribe on the side of the North Court is especially fond of this thing, and every time when the lychees are ripe in the Southern Dynasty, those colored merchants who come and go between the Southern Dynasty and the North Court will not hesitate to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to buy the high-quality products, which are used as a means of flattering and inviting favors.

Xiangzhou in the extreme west of the North Garden, there is a big mountain that connects the sky and the earth, the mountain is majestic, towering into the clouds, because of its high place where the snow does not melt all the year round, so it is called "Zhongzhu Snow Mountain".

"Zhongzhu Snow Mountain" and "Shuangzhu Mountain" are both the twelve scenic spots in the world, but "Zhongzhu Snow Mountain" is famous for snow, and "Shuangzhu Mountain" is known for its wonder and mystery.

It is rumored that in order to satisfy his appetite, the Tartar Emperor of the North Court once ordered someone to go to the depths of the "Zhongzhu Snow Mountain" to fetch a thousand years of ice, and specially used it to create a white jade box for storing all kinds of fresh fruits, which was named "Nine Dragons Jade Box".

As for whether there are other uses, God knows.

The Southern Liang Dynasty is very fond of this, and some people are willing to pay for it, so why not.

A foreigner from the household department of the imperial court once privately counted that the tax collected from the export of lychees in the first quarter alone was almost the sum of the tax revenue of half of Bailuzhou in a year.

Liu Ling poured two glasses of wine, handed one to Li Yunfeng, and took one to himself, and said: "Li Gongzi taste it, this wine can be regarded as a good thing unique to the Southern Dynasty, and it is not common outside." ”

Li Yunfeng saw the look of anticipation on his face, and thought it was some great wine, so he raised his glass and took a sip, since it was the lychee he had drunk when he first entered the city.

Li Yunfeng couldn't laugh or cry.

Liu Ling put down the wine glass and asked strangely, "What's the matter?"

Li Yunfeng shook his head slightly and said, "Where is it, the wine is good wine, but I drank it when I first entered the city." ”

Liu Ling's eyebrows raised slightly unconsciously, "Oh, but is that wine shop next to the Drunken Flower Building in the north of the city?"

Where would Li Yunfeng pay attention to these details, and when he heard him say the name of the place, he thought that the entire Fallen Leaf City was a wine shop that sold this lychee.

He nodded and said, "No, at that time, the guy at the wine shop said that he saw that I was young and was afraid that I would not be used to drinking spirits, so he deliberately took the lychee, but now that I think about it, I am afraid that it is not the same idea as Brother Liu, deliberately showing off in front of me, a foreigner!"

Liu Ling nodded secretly, and sure enough, as Chen Wen said before, this young man had been to the wine shop near the Drunken Flower Building.

Li Yunfeng's words were witty, if Liu Ling was still pretending to be doubtful in his heart, maybe he would really want to talk to him at this time.

Before, on the way to the west of the city, Chen Wen had told him everything about how he met the boy in green shirts behind him during the gap.

After inspecting the scene of the tragedy of the shopkeeper Xue's family, Liu Ling remembered something, whether the young man in front of him could get away with the suspicion, it would have to wait for Chen Wen and the three of them to find out some results.

Far away in the county government in the center of Fallen Leaf City, Chen Wen and his entourage went their separate ways after placing the thin man and the restaurant guy.

Wang San went to the cloth village around the east gate of the city, saying that he was going to inquire about some things.

Zhang Si took two officials to the poor white alley in the east of the city, where a thin monkey official who guarded the door lived, and his name was Li Liu.

Chen Wen went alone to the Zuihualou in the north of the city.

A guy from a liquor shop over there once inadvertently revealed that Li Liu had gone there to drink before he disappeared, and he seemed to have been "injured", scratching his liver and lungs.
