The guy at the restaurant had a square scarf on his shoulder, looked at the north gate of the city in the distance and sighed, and was secretly sighing, there was a shout from the restaurant, and the shopkeeper at the counter raised his head when he heard the words, stretched out his hand to the guest, smiled apologetically, and turned his head to see that the guy was shaking his head alone against the door of the restaurant, and he didn't know what he was doing. The shopkeeper was a little helpless, coughed towards the door, then ignored it, and lowered his head to take care of the account books.

The guests on the other side of the wine table were regular customers, chatting about some recent experiences in the city, and seeing that the guys were delayed in serving the wine, they were a little puzzled, so they shouted at the counter again. The shopkeeper raised his head, frowned, as if he had been disturbed by someone, and when he saw that he was still the original table of guests, his eyebrows naturally stretched, and he nodded again and again and stretched out his hand to say hello. Just turning his head and seeing that the guy was still leaning against the door as if nothing had happened, the shopkeeper was a little angry and roared at the door.

On the other side of the gate, the guy's body trembled, and he almost fell down under his feet, and everyone in the wine shop laughed, and the familiar customer who was familiar with him and could usually talk to him joked: "The dog was bitten by a mosquito earlier, and now I'm afraid that it will not step on, but it will only fall down, otherwise it will be a veritable dog eating, hahaha." The guy didn't choose what to say, he didn't shy away from it, he just laughed, and the two wine companions at the same table saw the guy's embarrassed appearance, and even the square scarf on his shoulder fell to the ground, and they both laughed along.

For a while, the laughter in the wine shop was full of laughter, and the unpleasantness of being delayed just now was completely forgotten, and the shopkeeper saw this scene and the corners of his mouth were upturned, and he nodded to the initiator, bowed his head and continued to flip through the account books.

The guy on the other side of the door lowered his head and picked up the square scarf and hung it on his shoulders casually, and when he walked into the wine shop, he looked cautiously towards the counter, and was relieved to see that the shopkeeper ignored him. The laughing drinker winked at him, smiling uncontrollably. The man grinned, took off the square scarf from his shoulder, dusted himself, turned his head to fetch a jug of wine from the back hall, and walked unhurriedly towards the table of guests.

When he came to the table, the man put the flask on the table and said to the guy who was laughing at him: "Drink slowly, wine is good wine, drink fast and beware of flashing your tongue." "The three people at a table are local people, and they usually come and go to the wine shop, they all know this guy's temperament, can speak well, are enthusiastic and lively, and naturally don't care about these gags. The guy who laughed at him first snorted and teased: "What's wrong with my little brother today, my temper is rising, I don't know if your old man has a sore face or a sore foot, it can't be a stomachache, could it be a sunflower moon?" After speaking, he didn't forget to look up and down carefully, the guy who watched it had a bad chill, and the other two guys at the same table laughed heartily, which caused the neighboring table to laugh, and the gloomy atmosphere brought about by the notices posted between the major gates in the city recently was invisibly diluted a lot, and the people who were still talking about everything also smiled heartily.

The guy always knew that this guy was notoriously poor-mouthed, and he didn't see how angry he was, so he only saw that he suddenly became glamorous, covering his abdomen with one hand, and pointing at the man with an orchid with the other, and said: "Oh, the official's handsome eyesight, this is all seen, but it is really embarrassing to the slave family." As he spoke, he poked and poked his orchid fingers, and his two big eyes flickered, which was really terrifying.

The three people at the table were dumbfounded, and the wine that had just reached their lips was spurted out in one go, and the guy's face was all over his face. The other two guys were fine, just covering their mouths and slapping the table and laughing wildly, the culprit who laughed at him was intentionally teasing and deliberately disgusting him, but now I saw him throw down his wine glass, swinging all over, obviously disgusted.

There wasn't much wine in a pot, and one person squirted it out, and three glasses said no, it was gone, the guy reached out and wiped his face, and said indifferently, "It's okay if you don't drink the wine, and if you spit it out, it's money, don't think about repaying the account when the time comes." ”

When the guy saw him looking at himself, he looked calm on the surface, but he always felt that he was holding back his badness, so he hurriedly hugged his fists and begged for mercy, and kept saying: "How can you, little brother, what you say is what, the little one doesn't dare to eat white food." After saying that, I tilted my head back as hard as I could, looking like I had beaten you to death and stayed away from me.

The guy nodded indifferently, and as soon as the guy slapped his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, he saw the guy's face with a treacherous and successful expression, and he didn't forget to throw a wink at him before turning around.

The guy cried with a sad face, and he estimated that he wanted to die.

The shopkeeper had already seen the movement here, closed the account book, and looked like a good show, he knew exactly what kind of guy he was, and when he saw the guy at the head of the table beating his chest, he subconsciously wanted to laugh, and sure enough.

The man waved to the other guests in the liquor store, nodded and smiled, his face full of elation, like a triumphant rooster, with his toes high.

Others laughed even more.

When the man saw the shopkeeper looking at him, he was immediately defeated, put down his hands, tore off the square towel on his shoulder, and wiped the table.

Only the shopkeeper knew that there was some helplessness and disbelief in his eyes.

The shopkeeper stretched out his hand and pressed the stack of account books under his hand, and some people said that it was gone, just like the bill that he tore off, and disappeared with the wind.

On the table where the wine shop was still leaning against the window of the drunken flower building, two men in civilian clothes looked out of place, not only did they have the slightest smile on their faces, but there was only a pot of tea on the table.

When you enter a liquor store, you don't drink, but it's also a strange thing.

It was the two men of the official Liu Ling and Chen Wen, who looked out the window with a focused and vigilant expression, to be precise, looking at the alley between the drunken flower building and the pharmacy, as if they were waiting for someone, occasionally whispering to each other, without distraction.

Since the notice of the Yamen spread the four gates, the first time it was rumored, the people in the city were shocked and a little afraid, the impression of the Fallen Leaf City seems to have never been full of tragedy, and only a few people who know the inside story of the witchcraft five years ago dare to speculate on the heavens, but fortunately, the notice has already stated that the prisoner has been arrested, so it did not cause too much turmoil.

Located in the east of the city and the west of the city Tonghe dyeing cloth workshop area of the first time to know the murder of the individual people are a little confused, the first time the murder occurred has been ordered by the county government to keep silent not to spread the word, did not expect this time, but it was the yamen side itself to open a ban, took the initiative to reveal the news, things changed so quickly, it is puzzling.

Perhaps it was because of the large number of people involved in the murder case, coupled with the speed with which the culprits were arrested, that the yamen intended to show off their merits.

In the Warm Fragrance Pavilion of the Zuihua Building, a woman in a goose-yellow elegant long skirt sat alone on the warm table in the main hall of the hospitality, and there was a delicate pestle on the small pear blossom table in front of her, a copper mortar pestle used to pound medicine, and the package of medicinal materials purchased from the Yang family pharmacy was also placed on the side.

Miao Shudi carefully looked at the parchment prescription on the pear blossom case, kept whispering in her mouth, took out the medicinal materials and carefully weighed them with a stick, and kept throwing the weighed medicinal materials into the mortar pestle and grinding them into powder.

Earlier, when she secretly went out, the little maid Cuiyu received the medicine for wind and cold in the Tibetan Phoenix Pavilion was lying quietly on the tea table in the inner room, half opened.

In the huge Warm Fragrance Pavilion, she was the only one at this time, and the rest was the sound of some small pounding medicines, which was extremely peaceful.

In front of the small half-pillar incense, the flower grandmother in the building came to visit, saying that she wanted to see if the girl's body was better. Fortunately, the little girl Cuiyu is more alert, half-opened typhoid medicine, half a cup of tea, Miao Shudie's lips are ruddy pretending to lie on the small collapse, and Mama Hua nodded again and again, finally not the bitter and hateful appearance with a straight face.

Before leaving, Mama Hua, who has always been strict, wanted to speak and stopped, but she looked at Xiao Nizi who was still sick and a little unbearable, and some of the gossip she just got was not easy to say. After some consideration, after all, he still couldn't speak, and after a few careful words, he asked the little maid standing on the side to go to the kitchen with him, saying that he would get some light japonica rice porridge that nourishes the stomach, nourishes qi, and relieves annoyance to make up for the girl.

Miao Shudie lay on the small collapse and waited for a long time, but still didn't see the jade return, worried that she might be reprimanded by Mama Hua again, but it was not good for her to go out to play a round at this time, plus she was still worried about the young man in the green shirt, and after waiting for a long time to no avail, she simply got up and grinded the medicinal materials according to the prescription.

In the boudoir of the little maid in the Nuanxiang Pavilion, a maid dress often worn by jade lay quietly on the bed, and the gray gown in the closet was gone.

The sky is gradually darkening, the afterglow of the setting sun reflects the clouds on the horizon, and the wine shop is still lively, as if the pouring rain and bloody murder yesterday night have not left much haze in the hearts of too many people.

The two people by the window, one was drinking tea, and the other was looking intently at the darkening alley, his eyes sharp.

Chen Wen and the team leader Liu Ling were involved in that questioning, if Li Yunfeng was not counted at the time, there were only a few people such as Lord Huang of the county, Chen Wen, Zhang Si and Liu Ling, the head of the team, if that person spoke truthfully, and connected the timelines and relationships of several murders together, it was not difficult to find that everything was related to the round-faced little girl, but the matter was secret, and that person was willing to tell all the stories after getting the approval of Lord Huang of the county.

As for the case of the disappearance of the young daughter reported by Lao Li Tou in Tianli Village a few years ago, even if he has known all the inside information, it has been confirmed that the missing person has been recovered.

After all, he promised that he would not bring up the old matter again in the future, and he was deliberately embarrassed, and it was not the empty words of the county lord.

All these things are regarded as having nothing to do with the little maid, and all the layout after the interrogation is nothing more than to confirm the matter, who is the "elder brother" in the mouth of the little maid? Is it the real murderer of the series of murders here?

In the prison located in the county government in the city, in a separate cell, Li Yunfeng was dressed in prison clothes and gnawed on chicken legs for a long time, not worrying about these so-called prison disasters at all.

The only thing that made him feel depressed was that the idea of not planning to let the little girl Jade get involved in it was declared bankrupt, not because he was guilty, but because he was too blind to take it for granted under the weight of things.

Li Yunfeng took a sip of wine, smacked his small mouth and sighed, "I'm still too young!"

In that interrogation, after the county lord Huang made a decision, the yamen's actions were not unfast, and the area around the Zuihualou in the north of the city was already secretly full of people, just waiting for the big fish to take the bait.

It's like one dark night, in a dark corner of the dyeing workshop in the west of the city, there is a poisonous snake that chooses people and loves people.

Liu Ling took a sip of tea, looked at the gradually sinking red sun in the sky, and muttered to herself: "Lead the snake out of the hole." ”
