Although Li Yunfeng pretended not to be surprised, he was still a little surprised in his heart, especially when Liu Ling took out the stolen tattered clothes he wore when he first entered the city, he subconsciously thought that he had taken advantage of the moonlight to steal that night, and he was going to ask Xingshi for his guilt.

But when he saw the pomp and circumstance of the four people in front of him and the expression of Liu Zhutou, who was still pushing the cup and changing the lamp a moment ago, he realized that he realized that I am afraid that the things in front of him will not be so simple.

The two people who followed Liu Ling and the slightly younger Yacha among the four, one of them hung an iron ruler from his waist, and the other even stood aside and stretched out his hand to hold down the Pu knife, with a solemn and vigilant look.

Li Yunfeng came here for the first time, even if he was not familiar with the various management regulations of the local yamen, he still did not understand the tricks, most likely because his previous statement of taking the initiative to "surrender" was not adopted, otherwise how could Liu Zhutou deliberately take the opportunity to keep himself, but behind his back, let people secretly investigate himself, and even the tattered clothes that had been coerced all the way were pulled out by those who had a heart?

Li Yunfeng sighed in his heart, it was really unfavorable for the passing years, and he came to this unfamiliar place for some reason, not to mention, it was less than a few days of hard work, and he was involved in a murder case, which was very unlucky. Of course, he didn't have any complaints about the round-faced little girl, he just had something to say.

Liu Ling saw that the young man in green shirt was still sitting at the table, looking blushing and drunk, and he didn't know if he heard the meaning of his words, so he shook the tattered shirt with his hand, his expression was cold, and he said: "Li Gongzi, Liu Mou has just found some eyebrows, and some things seem to involve you again, and I hope that Gongzi will go with my yamen, and just explain the cause and effect of the matter in front of the city and county, and it is good to return the son's innocence." ”

Li Yunfeng chuckled in his heart, and in addition to inadvertently breaking the door destruction case of Tonghe Dyeing Workshop, it seems that the only things that can be involved in the yamen are stealing clothes and stealing chicken legs from Fukelou.

However, since the four officials in front of him put on such a big battle, and he himself took the initiative to go to the door before, at this point, even if his every move in the city was turned upside down, could he still be regarded as a murderer?

Li Yunfeng, who didn't want to give people a handle at the beginning, was even more afraid of going to the yamen at this time, and he was worried in his heart, just afraid of trouble, and it was strange to say, he didn't seem to have the slightest worry that he would be treated as a case from beginning to end, and the yamen couldn't catch the scapegoat after the real murderer, this face was very fixed, maybe it was the drinking conversation a few hours ago, and the yamen who stretched out his hand and shook his clothes in front of him quickly gave him some inexplicable confidence.

Li Yunfeng reached out and picked up the only remaining wine jug on the table, and finally poured himself a large glass, just drank the wine in one gulp in front of everyone, and stood up calmly.

Zhang Si on the side frowned slightly, this person was in a deep state of mind.

Zhang San, the fat man on the other side, was also in a trance, just like the first time he saw him in the morning, after this person wore a green shirt and took it with one hand, he was also as calm as he is now. I was worried that the young man in the green shirt in front of him would be the remnant of the Five Immortal Sect, and I was afraid that his thoughts of acting violently would fade like this.

Just when the two of them had some respect in their hearts and secretly recognized it, they didn't want the young man to suddenly grin at Liu Ling and said: "Liu Zhutou, I have some urgency, maybe I drank too much wine, if it is convenient, please wait for me." ”

Liu Ling looked down at the table, there were five or six wine jugs scattered on the dining table, he nodded at Li Yunfeng, stretched out his hand to summon the wine shop guy who was trembling and ignorant, handed him a few taels of silver and said: "You take this son to the thatched house, and the extra silver will be regarded as a reward for your hard work." ”

As soon as the guy at the wine shop saw such a formation, he was a little afraid, where did he dare to care about the little caution before, nodded in fear, and led the young man in green shirt who was almost covering his crotch towards the back hall of the wine shop, as for the little blood stain on the son's body, he couldn't care about it anymore.

Zhang Si and Wang San didn't have to say anything at all, the two of them followed the two silently, all the way.

Chen Wen waited for everyone to go away, and then told Liu Ling what he had found out in the north of the city.

Liu Ling was expressionless and couldn't see any expression. He rolled up the tattered wet shirt with both hands and handed it to Chen Wen, looking at the young figure at the front of the group of four, not knowing what he was thinking.

Li Yunfeng covered his crotch, uncomfortable, and probably regretted that he drank the last glass of wine in front of everyone for no reason, and he was panicked.

Listening to the footsteps behind him, Li Yunfeng smiled a little bitterly, did he really think that he was going to commit a heinous crime?

The guy took Li Yunfeng to the thatched house, bowed his head to the two officials behind him, and after getting the signal, he ran away.

Zhang San and Li Si glanced at each other, and quietly became the door god.

This is the first time the two of them have encountered it since they entered the yamen, and it has some taste.

In the Fallen Leaves City, on the road leading from the Fuke Building in the east of the city to the Zuihualou in the north of the city, a "man" wearing a scribe's Confucian shirt walked all the way through the streets and alleys, and on the edge of the pharmacy near the Zuihualou, Miao Shudi stopped. She looked up at the adjacent Drunken Flower Building, her eyes were a little lonely for no reason, what Chen Wen said to her before would not be fake, and there was no reason to fake, so when she really sincerely said and begged him to find out the reason for the case, she didn't have the intention of quietly visiting Fukelou again, and she really left.

It's just that somehow, what I've been thinking about all the way to the east and north of the city is completely a mood that I haven't had over the years, I can't say what it feels like, it's complicated, when I look up and see the drunken flower building that I don't know when I have been living since I started, I feel a little sentimental in my heart, and even she doesn't know whether she is worried about the young man in green shirt surnamed Li, or she is feeling sorry for her poor life experience.

Miao Shudi straightened her mind, turned her head to look at the Yang family pharmacy in front of her, patted the cuffs of her shirt, and strode in.

In the shop, the young man who grabbed the medicine, Shui Sheng, was rummaging through the medicinal materials in the drawer behind the counter at this time, and when he heard footsteps at the door, he said without turning his head: "Grab the medicine and take the prescription, ask the sick and come back tomorrow, the master is not here." ”

Miao Shudi came to the counter, and after hearing the young man's words, she pinched her throat and coughed, and said, "Little master, I'll grab the medicine." ”

Shui Sheng still didn't turn his head, and said to himself: "Did you bring the prescription?" The words were like a master's style, and he didn't blush at all because he didn't know how to "listen to the disease" and send people to the previous moment, and the action of the inspection in his hand did not stop.

Miao Shudi said softly: "Bring it." ”

The young man on the other side of the drawer heard these two words, and his ears moved, and he hurriedly stuffed the medicinal herbs in his hand back into the box. Turning his head, he saw a fair-skinned and delicate man, a little surprised, I don't know whether to marvel at the person's appearance, or to pity the person's voice, this little pharmacy guy who has always been very arrogant and dares to call himself a brother and sister to the public officials is a little shy at this moment, and he is no longer the fritter temperament of the old god before, and whispered to the man in the Confucian shirt in front of him: "Sir, take a look at the prescription." ”

Miao Shudi wanted to laugh when she saw his demeanor, she had seen the exquisite thoughts of a hundred people and thousands of faces, not to mention the little guy in front of her, even some old guys who had become fine wanted to pretend in front of her, and it was difficult not to be seen through. Not to mention that at his age, when Jade came to grab medicine before, because of the temperament of this little guy, he specially mentioned it to himself when he went back, and the current expression is very different from what Jade expresses.

Miao Shudi deliberately raised her sleeves to cover her face, and with her other hand, she took out a neatly folded sheepskin prescription from her sleeve and gently placed it on the counter. Before the young man could take a closer look, Miao Shudi stretched out his hand and pressed it again, a fifty-tael silver ticket from Wansheng Qianzhuang.

The young man's eyes widened, when the man in front of him took out the sheepskin, he felt a little familiar, and when the man put it down and took a closer look, sure enough, it was the sheepskin prescription that he had been fortunate to see a few years ago, and he remembered that the person who came to grab the medicine at that time should be a little girl who was younger than himself, because of the particularity of this prescription, he always remembered it relatively well, in the small place of Fallen Leaf City, he was the first time he saw someone write the prescription on the sheepskin, and remembered that when he talked to Old Man Yang, he was reprimanded for no reason。

Shui Sheng couldn't wait to unfold the prescription and look at it, lowered his head and slid all the way down in the direction of his fingers, although he didn't remember it completely, but he still knew it relatively well, not surprisingly it was the sheepskin prescription at that time, but it was only two years, how did that little girl grow so big, and she became a good-looking man, and the young pharmacy guy didn't turn a corner for a while.

Miao Shudi saw that the little guy just looked down at the prescription and didn't move, so he reached out and knocked on the table, Shui Sheng heard the movement, a little embarrassed, for fear that the person would think that he was blind who couldn't even read words, and hurriedly weighed the medicinal materials according to the prescription.

After more than ten minutes, the medicinal materials were weighed, and Shui Sheng took out the abacus and crackled, no more, no less, just fifty taels.

Miao Shudi took the wrapped bag of medicinal herbs, nodded to the young man, reached out and put the bag of medicinal herbs into his sleeve, and then went out.

The young man still wondered to himself, when he talked to Old Man Yang before, with Old Man Yang's brilliant medical skills, even if he couldn't remember the names of all the medicinal materials at that time, Old Man Yang could roughly deduce the medication of that prescription based on the shipment volume of the day, but for some reason, since then, Old Man Yang has always wanted to let himself forget about it, and only said that it was an ordinary prescription.

But he wasn't stupid, Old Man Yang's expression at that time was not as calm and breezy as when he spoke.

Just as the young man in the pharmacy was secretly calculating, there was another sound of footsteps at the door of the shop, and Shui Sheng thought that the man was back again, and craned his neck to look over there.

A sturdy old man in his fifties with a long beard and a medicine box on his back slowly paced in, and the young man saw the man, like a mouse seeing a cat, and just wanted to talk about today's sheepskin prescription on Old Man Yang's side, but after the young man saw the man, the words that had not yet been uttered were swallowed back in an instant.

The old man came to the side of the counter, put down the medicine box, the young man put the medicinal materials in a row by row and waited for review, and on the side of the counter drawer on the left hand side was placed the daily shipping account book of the medicine, the handwriting was meticulous, and the date, shipment details, and income details were recorded one by one.

After the young man had done this, he lifted the medicine box that the old man had just put down and went to the inner hall, and the old man took a sip of tea, stood on the edge of the counter, and began to check his homework.

When the young man appeared in the front hall again, it was the old man Yang who was the shopkeeper of the pharmacy who was standing quietly at the door of the pharmacy with his hands behind his back, looking at the bustling crowd coming and going on the street, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Shui Sheng stood aside and waited for a long time, when Old Man Yang suddenly asked, "The only medicine list that came out today, but the one who came to grab the medicine was a young man in a Confucian shirt..."'Childe'?"

The young man didn't know how Master knew this, but replied respectfully, "Yes, Master." ”

The old man shook his head, it turned out that he had just met the man a moment before the old man returned to the shop, and the old man just sniffed, and everything was clear to him.

In the alley between the pharmacy and the drunken flower building, Miao Shudie, dressed in Confucian clothes, knocked on the back door.

After the light car was familiar with the twists and turns, but a few minutes away, Miao Shudi returned to the Nuanxiang Pavilion, stretched out her hand and knocked lightly on the main entrance of the attic, two short and one long.

The little maid Cuiyu who was thinking about her heart in the warm pavilion jumped up when she heard the familiar knock on the door, the main door opened negligently, Miao Shudi reached out and took out the bag of medicinal materials from her sleeve after entering the door, Cuiyu reached out and took it, a little puzzled, "Miss, this is?"

Miao Shudie walked to the inner room where she lived, and said as she walked: "It's still the same as at the beginning, grinding into medicinal powder, and the one that I tried before has been used up." ”

The little maid reacted immediately, and said to her young lady with some grievances: "Miss, this medicine is too weird, I don't think it's better to use it anymore, right?"

Miao Shudie stood behind the screen in the house, took off the Confucian shirt that was covered, and put on the goose-yellow elegant long skirt again. ”

Cuiyu saw that the young lady smiled far-fetched, and her heart was also tight, she knew the reason why her young lady went out in disguise, after putting the bag of medicinal herbs on the table next to her, Cuiyu looked at her young lady, her eyes were red, and she whispered: "Miss, how is Li Gongzi, have you ever seen him?"

Miao Shudie has always treated Cuiyu as her own sister, and seeing that she felt sorry for herself and looked guilty, she didn't want to lie to him, so she told her everything she saw and heard today, and the conversation with Chen Wen. The little maid listened carefully, her expression became more and more lonely, and after hearing that the green-shirted Li Gongzi was afraid that he would not be able to live in the Fuke Building temporarily today, the whole person stood for a long time.

Miao Shudie sighed, stroked Cuiyu's head and comforted softly, the little maid tried her best to endure it, and finally did not cry.

Even if she was young, she knew what that sentence meant.

In the small wine shop far away in the west of the city, Li Yunfeng was taken to the yamen of the county government of Fallen Leaf City by Liu Ling and his party after the convenience was finished.

The body of Li Liu, who was in the poor white lane in the east of the city, was secretly cremated after being confirmed by Liu Ling, and all the actions were silent and did not cause much panic.

This thin janitor, no matter what he did during his lifetime, everything about him after his death was just a piece of paper in the secret file of the yamen, sealed forever in that small drawer.

After Li Yunfeng was "invited" into the yamen, he was not interrogated in front of the hall with great fanfare, and everything about the inside was quietly interrogated after the approval of Liu Ling and Lord Huang of the county government.

Faced with the damp tattered clothes, Li Yunfeng told the fact that he had passed through Tianli Village to steal, and the matter was unexpected, after Liu Ling told the cause of death of Tianli Village's splashing skin and the shopkeeper of Tonghe Dyeing Workshop, Xue Tong's family, Li Yunfeng knew that something was wrong.

Especially after Liu Ling slowly explained the cause of death of the thin monkey official at the east gate of the city, Li Yunfeng's face turned pale, and he couldn't figure out the key to it anyway, after having to re-examine all the causes and consequences, this so-called Jingyu Dynasty's traveling scholar who had only been in the Fallen Leaves City for a few days began to confide in his heart.

On the same day, a murder case about the Tonghe dyeing workshop in the west of the city and Li Liu, a small official at the east gate of the city, was written as a notice and spread throughout the four gates of the Fallen Leaf City.

A portrait, ending with the words "the criminal was caught", the people of the city after a short uproar at the beginning, but in the end, they did not have much fear in front of the four words of the criminal's arrest, and the rest was only left with some after-dinner conversations.

At the same time, in the Fallen Leaf City, the secret guards led by the Fukelou at the east gate of the city were secretly withdrawn, while the area from the Zuihualou in the north of the city to the county government in the center of the city was secretly deployed a large number of guards and some soldiers from the prison mansion.

A diminutive hunchbacked man mingled in the crowd at the north gate of the city, looking at the notice on the wall with a sneering expression.

In the wine shop diagonally opposite the drunken flower building in the distance, after determining the person painted in the notice portrait, a young man from the wine shop who had talked to Li Yunfeng looked at the direction of the north gate of the city and sighed.

Eventful period!
