Chapter 099: Elm Demon Murder Case III

Steward Pang heard Mu Yirong say that he had come to Tong County to visit the remnants of the bandits in the gambling house in Shangjing, but he did not answer.

Mu Yirong didn't say anything more, but turned back to the topic and asked Liu Jingshan what was abnormal before the accident happened today?

Steward Pang shook his head and said that after delivering food to Liu Jingshan in the morning, Liu Jingshan wrote in the room, so there was nothing abnormal.

Mu Yirong was indeed on the desk, and saw a broken inkstone, and Wang Xizhi was copying on an open piece of paper. The pen is euphemistic and subtle, beautiful and healthy, and it can be seen that Liu Jingshan has put a lot of effort into practicing calligraphy.

Mu Yirong said that Liu Jingshan seemed to have good learning, and Steward Pang nodded, saying that his master had studied hard for ten years, so he got married late, and he was nearly forty years old, and he was about to usher in his first child.

Mu Yirong praised Liu Jingshan and his wife for their deep affection, and Steward Pang nodded again and again, saying that his master was deeply affectionate and righteous, and he had been married to his wife for several years, and he had never given birth to the idea of a concubine because his wife was not pregnant.

Speaking of this, Steward Pang paused, and said that her wife is also very kind and virtuous, when she married Liu Jingshan, Liu Jingshan was just a white ding, so she willingly took a lot of dowry and married into the gate of the Liu family.

Mu Yirong smiled when he heard this, "In this way, Mrs. Liu is really very discerning." ”

Steward Pang nodded with flickering eyes, got up and said that he was going to help Mu Yirong and the others arrange accommodation, Mu Yirong nodded with a smile and said, "There is Steward Pang." ”

Steward Pang seemed surprised that Mu Yirong did not refuse, was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly said, "Don't bother."

Mu Yirong and Ruicao were taken to a small courtyard in Liu's Mansion, and the courtyard next door was the warehouse, firewood room and kitchen, connected to the back door of Liu's Mansion.

There are two main rooms in the courtyard, and the inside of the house is very clean, but I don't know whether it is because there are no people living in it for a long time, or because of the rainy days, which exudes a musty smell. Steward Pang looked apologetic, and said that the room in Liu's Mansion was limited, and he couldn't let the two officials and adults go to squeeze together with the subordinates, there happened to be an idle courtyard here, and there were two main houses side by side, just enough for Mu Yirong and Seocho to be in one room.

Steward Pang opened the umbrella, and if Daomu Yirong and the others had any problems, they could go to his residence in the front yard to inform them.

With that, he opened his umbrella and stepped into the rain.

But after only taking one step, he turned his head and said, "My lord, my lord was attacked by that monster today, and I ask the two of you to close the doors and windows at night and stay in the room to avoid accidents." ”

Mu Yirong smiled and thanked Steward Pang for his concern, and then also admonished, "Listen to what you said, that monster should attack anyone indiscriminately, and Steward Pang should also pay more attention to safety." ”

The raindrops of beans kept smashing on the oil-paper umbrella on Steward Pang's head, as if he wanted to smash the oil-paper umbrella out of a few holes before he was willing to give up.

Steward Pang nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern", but his voice was soft, and it seemed a little ethereal in the roaring rain.

Mu Yirong stood under the eaves and watched Steward Pang's figure disappear into the small courtyard, and then he smiled and turned his head and asked Ruicao, "Do you know, what is it called scaring snakes?"

Regarding the idiom of animals, Seocho almost knew a lot and nodded.

"Then you're full, do you want to go and eat less?"

Seocho shook her head, and just as she wanted to say if she didn't want to, Mu Yirong suddenly leaned into her ear and whispered a few words.

Seocho's ears were tickled by Mu Yirong's snort, she pushed Mu Yirong away, nodded, and said "yes", and then flew away and disappeared into the rain.

The corners of Mu Yirong's mouth hooked a good-looking arc, and he chuckled at the figure of Ruicho who had disappeared, "I'm really anxious, and I don't know how to use an umbrella." ”

As if the whole earth was about to be poured into the rain of the Yellow River, the ground was slapped with mist and the sound of the rain was like the "gurgling" weird laughter of a ghost.

Mu Yirong was under the eaves of the rain curtain, looking up at the stars and moons, as if he could not see the black night sky of hope.

The stick of threshing grass has been waved, hoping to disperse the cumulus clouds in this gloomy sky to welcome the dawn. I hope that the snake that was hiding in the grass and hiding in the shadows will rush out on its own.

In the quiet night, like an endless rain, it finally seems that I have had enough of playing outside, and the naughty boy who thinks of home gradually rests.

When Seocho flashed into Mu Yirong's room, it was already midnight, Mu Yirong put down the file in his hand, handed the clean cotton towel to Seocho to wipe his face.

"It's raining outside, why don't you wear a robe?"

Mu Yirong looked at the soaked clothes on Seocho's body, told her to be cautious about catching a cold, and then gave her a cup of hot tea.

Seocho took it and drank it all in one gulp, but it burned his tongue, like a puppy that couldn't tolerate the heat, and kept sticking out his tongue.

Mu Yirong looked at Seocho and smiled like a spring breeze, "You learn from Mu Yixing, what are you doing so impatiently?"

"I'm tired and want to go back to sleep soon. ”

Seocho hates her current physical condition, because her body consumes too much energy, and her current body often feels tired, and she is no longer the little expert who stayed up late for seven days and seven nights.

"Thank you. ”

Mu Yirong poured a cup of hot tea for Seocho, and after Seocho finished drinking it, he was about to open his mouth, but Mu Yirong stretched out his hand to stop him.

Mu Yirong got up, walked to the door, looked out a few times, and closed the door.

As a result, as soon as he turned around, he collided with Seocho, who was following him closely.

Mu Yirong's chin slammed lightly on the top of Seocho's little brain, and he took a step back with a smile, "What are you doing with me, aren't you, scared?"

Seocho saw that Mu Yirong was mysterious, thinking that there was something abnormal outside, but it turned out to be just a false shot.

She raised her head and stared at Mu Yirong, "I'm afraid you'll be captured by that elm monster." ”

Mu Yirong was slightly stunned at first, and then laughed out loud, "I didn't expect that you still love to laugh." ”

Seocho glanced at the closed door, her lips moved towards Mu Yirong, Mu Yirong's eyebrows twisted together, then gradually stretched, and finally nodded with a smile.

After a while, Seocho's mouth closed, and Mu Yirong said hard work to Seocho again.

Seocho got up, the things that Daomu Yirong had told her were done, and she was going to sleep.

Mu Yirong suddenly teased and called Seocho, "Grandmother often says that you are smart and sensitive, so what is your impression of this Liu Mansion?"

"A flock of weak chickens. ”

Among the birds, Seocho feels that it can't fly, its brain is not smart, and the domestic chickens that rarely cultivate into demons are the weakest.

Therefore, after picking some hills, she often mocked the demons lying on the ground and being trampled under her feet, "You weak chickens." ”

Once, this was heard by the Hundred Flowers Fairy, and the Hundred Flowers Fairy said with a dark face that if one day, the Pleiades Star King violently beat Seocho, she would definitely not help Seocho intercede.

At that time, Seocho was frightened and quit this mantra, but from time to time, it still popped up.

Mu Yirong smiled when he heard Seocho's description, and asked Seocho to be careful of being pecked in the eyes by chickens, and Seocho said in a disdainful tone, although let those big roosters, old hens, and little chicks come over.

After speaking, she continued to walk outside, only to be called by Mu Yirong again.

Seocho stopped impatiently again, and flew to Mu Yirong with a "Uncle, what do you command" look, Mu Yirong still smiled like a spring breeze, "You will sleep in this room tonight!"

Taishan Niangniang didn't seem to give any clear requirements for the personal observation of "honest and honest", if it was conducive to her practice, she didn't mind that the first time she had a love with her was the opposite sex, the same sex or a human being.

But the premise is that she clearly knows that this kind of thing is polite to her practice.

Otherwise, the other party will only have one left to be beaten by her.

Mu Yirong saw that Ruicao didn't hesitate at all, then turned around and threw himself on the bed, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You are really relieved of me." ”

Seocho ignored Mu Yirong, covered the whole person with a quilt, covered his head and slept.

Mu Yirong walked to the side of the bed, stretched out his hand to fold the quilt for Seocho, but he heard Seocho's snoring, couldn't help but smile and shook his head, turned around and sat back at the table, and began to look through the household registration and county records of Lintong County, as well as some case files in recent years.

A candle flame on the table, emitting a light like a wave, reflected Mu Yirong's white face.

After the candle flame was extinguished, Mu Yirong took a deep breath and fell into deep thought with his dry and tired eyes.

A lot of information turned into points of light in his mind, connected into rays of light, and then woven into a big net. It's like I'm stuck in something, but I feel like I'm stuck in nothing.

The web in his mind was not dense enough, and he missed too many things, as if he had touched a vein, but he had not yet found the key to open it.

Mu Yirong reopened his bloodshot eyes, glanced at the still gloomy weather outside the window, stood up, walked to the bedside, and re-covered the quilt for Seocho that she kicked off, and then stared at Seocho's sleeping face.

Seocho's sleeping face was flushed, like a ripe peach, Mu Yirong was worried that she was cold from the rain last night, so he reached out and touched Seocho's forehead.

There was no fever, Mu Yirong withdrew his hand, Seocho seemed to feel Mu Yirong's touch, frowned and flipped his body inward, but did not wake up.

Mu Yirong returned to the table and rested on the table with his arms on his pillow, but he heard Seocho's voice sounding slowly, "You should be glad that I didn't break your arm." ”

Mu Yirong raised his head suddenly, looked at Ruicao lying on the bed, and saw that she was facing inwards and let out a snoring sound, and couldn't help but suspect that she was too tired and misheard in a daze.

"Are you awake?"

Mu Yirong was puzzled, but all that answered him was the gentle and rhythmic snoring of Seocho, and he lay on the table again, and in an instant, he fell asleep.

Mu Yirong should be happy, as soon as Mu Yirong approached Seocho, Seocho woke up. Out of defensive instinct, she almost broke Mu Yirong's arm close to her face, and then choked Mu Yirong's neck.

Fortunately, Seocho didn't feel the aura of danger on Mu Yirong!

Fortunately, Mu Yirong's hand was on Seocho's forehead, not her neck!
