How will Xiao Yunfan meet the emperor, after leaving Beijing, he happened to meet Ahri, and fought with Tu Long, the bloody hand of Yama, Yu Nansong and his wife died, Ling Taixu designed the kidnapping and other things to tell the story, Shui Hanyan listened to it thrillingly, a pair of big eyes flashed, sometimes with a sad look, sometimes full of joy, as if he had also experienced it.

Before you know it, it's dusk. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the rooftops, the gray tiles were dyed gold, and the leaves rustled in the evening breeze. After Xiao Yunfan told everything, the depression and boredom in his chest that had been accumulated for days were greatly reduced. When the heart was comfortable, the faint shadow between the eyebrows also disappeared.

Shui Hanyan glanced at the sky and said quietly: "Brother Xiao, I should go back." Xiao Yunfan said: "Oh, then I'll send you." Shui Hanyan heard this, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she shook her head and refused: "No need Brother Xiao, you still have to investigate the matter of the Chishui Gang, you should cultivate your spirit."

I was already bored in the house, and my sister was busy supervising the disciples in the palace to practice. I wanted to find a friend to chat, but none of the Chishui Gang up and down, as well as those martial arts people, have deep friendships, think about it, only Brother Xiao, you, listen to you talk so much, Yan'er is very happy in her heart. I have hands and feet, and I can go back by myself, but I still don't have to work for my big brother to send it. ”

Xiao Yunfan straightened his face and said: "What you said can be seen, Brother Xiao is not seventy or eighty, and he still walks a few steps." Even if I am seventy or eighty, I am happy to walk a few steps with Sister Yan. Shui Hanyan smiled: "That's good." When Brother Xiao is seventy or eighty, he can still accompany my little sister and me for a walk, then I will be happy in my heart. ”

She said this in her mouth, but she thought in her heart: "Brother Xiao loves Sister Feng deeply in his heart, and Brother Xiao will accompany her to old age on the road of this life." And what about me? He may only be able to walk with me for a short part of my life, and it will be very small. However, even if it is a very small part, my heart is happy. ”

The two walked to the stone path outside the courtyard, Xiao Yunfan stretched and yawned. Shui Hanyan quipped: "You also said that you are not tired, you look at your yawn, dare to open your mouth to eat the sky?"

Xiao Yunfan stretched out his hand and scratched her nose and said, "Where are you counting the big brother like this?" As he spoke, he pointed to the sunset in the sky and said, "It's better than you, I always think about eating clouds in my heart, do you still eat clouds in your dreams now?"

As soon as he said this, he recalled watching Chaoxia and catching clouds with Xiao Yunfan on the dragon boat, and suddenly his cheeks were dizzy, and he was infinitely shy. Thinking of the past experiences of the two, my heart suddenly felt infinitely sweet.

The two walked for a while, and suddenly there was a quarrel in the distance, and the two stopped to look. I saw that the eldest son, Yan Zhenting, grabbed his younger brother Yan Zhendong's clothes and said loudly: "You'd better stay away from her, otherwise I'll kill you?" Yan Zhendong said: "Hmph, Xiaocai likes me, and you are entangled with him." ”

Yan Zhenting's eyes widened and said, "I've already said it, you dare to say a word to her again." I promise to kill you. Yan Zhendong saw that his expression was fierce, so he didn't speak. The other hand was loosened and walked away. Yan Zhendong looked at the eldest brother walking away, spat fiercely, and then turned to leave.

At this time, a woman in green clothes looked behind the rockery, and when she saw Xiao Shui's eyes on him, she couldn't help but be startled and hurriedly hid.

Shui said with a smoke: "Brother Xiao, we seem to have seen something we shouldn't see. Xiao Yunfan said: "Then it's better to pretend that you didn't see it." Shui Hanyan saw that he was about to arrive at the wing room where the Xuannu Palace was located, so he said, "Go back and rest quickly." ”

Xiao Yunfan nodded, and then returned the same way. On the way, he pondered the case and said in his heart: "It seems that the affairs of this Yan family are not so simple. Not long after the eldest lady died, her son was not guarding his mother, but he came here to compete with his younger brother and be jealous, which was really chilling. Old Man Yan is wise, how could he give birth to a bastard son like them?"

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Yunfan had breakfast and sat in the room with Tingyun chatting. Tingyun said: "Brother Xiao, have you found some clues about this matter?" Xiao Yunfan said: "Not for the time being, but now I have to leave one thing to you to do." Listening to the clouds: "What's the matter?"

Xiao Yunfan said: "On the same day, I had a conversation with the Yan family, and the records compiled by the people of the Yan Mansion were in the Yan Guan's house. After you ask him to come, divide the testimonies into two categories: men and women. I'll take a look at it later. Tingyun said: "Okay, then the little sister will do it." ”

At this moment, a person outside the door ran over in a panic. The man gasped and said, "Xiao Daxia, what's wrong?" Xiao Yunfan's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" The next person's face turned pale and said, "My second young master is dead, and he is in the flower garden in the garden." The chief butler asked me to report to you, and I would like you to come over. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yunfan rushed towards the Yanfu Garden, and Tingyun and the people also rushed over. Everyone gathered around, and the second lady saw her son's tragic death, and cried so much that she fainted. Xiao Yunfan pushed aside the crowd and stepped forward, Yan Qi said with an embarrassed face: "Xiao Daxia, you are finally here." ”

Xiao Yunfan looked into the flower garden, and saw that the second young master's face was on the ground, his eyes were bulging, his limbs were spread out, and he was actually wearing a red dress that only a bride could wear, and he was actually wearing a pair of embroidered shoes on his feet. The back of his head was a blur of flesh and blood, apparently killed by a blunt object hitting him in the back of the head. A hoe was thrown on the ground beside him.

Xiao Yunfan stretched out a finger and put it in front of his nose, and couldn't bear to look at it. He ordered someone to turn Yan Zhendong's body over, only to see that the deceased's face was covered with blood and mud, and his clothes were covered with mud.

Rao is death is terrifying, he still held back the disgust in his heart, stretched out his hand to inspect it, and then said to Yan Qi: "Carry people away." As he spoke, his gaze fell on the hoe. He grabbed the wooden handle of the hoe and thought to himself: "What is this second young master doing here in the middle of the night wearing a woman's clothes and carrying a hoe? Could it be that he is going to dig or bury something?"

With this in mind, he lifted the hoe and rummaged it over the ground in front of the deceased, and sure enough, in the dirt, he found a blue baggage. He stretched out his hand to remove the dirt and brought out the burden, wanting to see what kind of treasure the two sons had dug up, so that they were killed. bar

He unwrapped his burden and looked at it, and gasped when he landed, and there was actually a human head inside. This man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and there is a little stubble on his cheeks. It's not someone else, it's the eldest son Yan Zhenting.

The onlookers exclaimed in surprise, and they all involuntarily took a few steps back. Someone in the crowd exclaimed: "Wronged soul asks for life! Wronged soul asks for life!" Yan Qi shouted violently, grabbed the placket of the man's clothes, snapped the ground, slapped the other party, and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about?" The man's cheeks were red and swollen, and he didn't dare to speak again.

Seeing this head, Xiao Yunfan, who had always been bold, also changed his face in fright, and his scalp couldn't help but tingle. He closed his eyes and calmed himself.

Suddenly, he thought: Yan Gongzi's head is here, so where did his body go? He stood up and immediately shouted: "Quick, let's go to the eldest young master's room and have a look." Yan Qi hurriedly ordered people to comfort the second lady, and the others moved Yan Zhendong's body to the mourning hall. led two entourages and went to Yan Zhenting's residence with Xiao Yunfan.

The four of them walked outside the courtyard, and the two subordinates walked up the steps quickly and stretched out their hands to push the door. However, the door was forked from the inside, and Yan Qi saw that the two were incompetent, so he became anxious, pushed the two away with his big hand, and flew up and kicked on the door panel. There was a thud, and the door panel fell and a cloud of dust kicked up.

A heavy smell of blood poured out of the room. Everyone covered their mouths and noses and walked into the house, only to see a headless corpse sitting on the floor, with a bloody neck and dried blood. On top of the corpse, he was also wearing the bride's red dress and a pair of embroidered shoes on his feet.

Yan Qi looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but turn pale. Xiao Yunfan didn't look at the headless corpse, but raised his head to look at the roof, and the vents above the roof were closed. He wondered in his heart: "If the second prince managed to kill the eldest prince, how did such a big living person leave this house? And since he killed the eldest prince, who killed him?"

Is there really a ghost in this world? It's the ghosts who haunt them and kill them. ”

One mystery after another puzzled Xiao Yunfan like a spider's web. He stood in the room for a long time, and after a long time, Yan Qi said: "Xiao Daxia, if you finish reading, then I will find someone to carry away the body of the eldest prince." Xiao Yunfan nodded, then sighed and said, "Yan Guanjia, I have a few words to say to you alone." Yan Qi said: "Okay, please come with me." ”

The two of them walked to Yan Qi's study and sat down separately. Xiao Yunfan's face was solemn, and he said slowly: "Steward Yan, let me ask you, has there ever been a woman who died in the Zun Mansion?"

Yan Qi lowered his head and thought for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and said, "After Xiao Daxia said this, I remembered two things. Four years ago, there was a maid named Jin Lan who was working in the house, she was the maid next to the eldest lady, and then hanged herself for no reason, and she was wearing red clothes when she died.

Two years ago, there was also a maid named Bai'er who threw herself into a well and died, and when she fished it out, she was also dressed in red. In order to calm the matter, the old man suppressed the matter and gave the maid's family a large sum of money, saying that their daughter was sick, and after asking the doctor to see it, she was seriously ill and died. ”

Xiao Yunfan was thoughtful, his eyes flashed and he said, "Does the housekeeper know who a maid named Ah Cai serves?" Yan Qi asked puzzledly, "Xiao Daxia, why did you ask about this girl?"

Xiao Yunfan said: "When I passed the garden yesterday, I saw the eldest young master and the second young master arguing, and there was a figure peeping behind the rockery, I only saw the figure of a woman, and I didn't see her face clearly. The eldest young master and the second young master said the name Ah Cai in their conversation, so they asked this question. ”

Yan Qi frowned and said, "This Ah Cai is the maid in the third lady's room, and she also went to the mansion about four years ago. Xiao Daxia means that there is something wrong with this girl?"

Xiao Yunfan touched his chin and said, "What I'm curious about is that since she is the maid in the third lady's room, how can she have the opportunity to get close to the eldest young master, the second young master?" Yan Qi sighed: "Alas, about Xiao Daxia doesn't know, this eldest young master is a flower Tai Sui, and he likes to mess with flowers and grass on weekdays." He hadn't touched anyone around the second lady and the third lady, and he ...... the maid next to the eldest lady."

Xiao Yunfan nodded and said, "What is the second young master's conduct?" Yan Qi said: "The second young master is not very interested in women, but he is a good gambler. You said that he had an affair with that maid, Ah Cai, which surprised me. ”

Xiao Yunfan stretched out his hand and pressed his temple, thinking in his heart: "Aren't the three lives of Yanfu related to the woman who died four years ago?

If this is the case, then the death of the eldest lady and the eldest prince can be explained, but who killed these two sons? Could it be ......?"

Yan Qi saw that he was silent, so he said: "Xiao Daxia, do you say that the death of this eldest son and the second son is related to the people in the third room?" Xiao Yunfan was stunned for a moment, and came back to his senses and said: "What you said is good, I also have this kind of consideration." Therefore, the Yan official family secretly found someone to keep an eye on the third room first, and did not startle the snake.

Even if we deduce it now, the murderer is likely to be the third lady's person. But it doesn't count until solid evidence is found. I need to ask the subordinates next to the eldest prince here, and I bother you to send them over again, and hand over the oral records of those subordinates that night to my righteous sister to listen to Miss Yun. ”
