Old-fashioned past

Chen Changye muttered a few times with sleepy eyes, he waited for Chixiao Yao and them for a long time, and he was really sleepy, so he lay down on the spot to rest, but he didn't expect to be woken up in an instant, but he also got up in a bad mood.

When I opened my eyes, I was surrounded by the moonlight of the hazy alleys, and I saw Gu Lili's face as white as agar, not handsome but exquisite. Gu Lili saw Chen Changye wake up, so he got out of the way, Chen Changye sat up and saw the gray alleys around him, and remembered what had happened.

"Are you back?, where's the thing?" Chen Changye hurriedly asked, he wiped his face with his hand and refreshed, and finally waited for Gu Lili to leave, isn't she very good at kung fu? Why can she walk for so long in one trip.

Gu Lili was puzzled, she was a little annoyed when she saw Chen Changye asleep, and asked with a cold face: "What about Lin Jingnian and them, why are you asleep?" It seems that she didn't see Lin Jingnian and them, so she wouldn't take things out.

Chen Changye yawned, a little sleepy, and said, "It's not to wait for you, it's so slow to get something, they went to the place where the dead died today to find clues, you come with me, let's take a look." ”

Saying that, Chen Changye staggered and took Gu Lili to another place, Gu Lili didn't have a bad impression of Chen Changye, and asked them about their origin on the way, Chen Changye also answered truthfully, only saying that he was a rural villager, and Gu Lili also nodded and admitted.

The two rushed to the place where the murder occurred today, which was empty and empty, and out of the middle of the street, a large white moonlight sprinkled on the ground, gloomy and cold. Gu Lili looked around, and instantly saw the small window of the inn not far away.

Chen Changye squinted his eyes and said, "If I'm not mistaken, what Lin Jingnian said was that he saw the murderer leave over there." Saying that, Gu Lili's body was as light as a cloud, and his ethereal figure suddenly ascended to the second floor.

Just as she opened the window, two faces were also revealed inside, it was Lin Jingnian and Chi Xiaoyao, and the two of them also opened the window to check when they heard someone coming. found out that the person who came was Gu Lili, so he simply discussed in the empty room.

But Chen Changye's kung fu is not so good, but fortunately, fortunately, his head is flexible, and he also went up to the second floor along the cargo bar next to him, and when he opened the window, he found that the three people were waiting for him, and he laughed embarrassedly.

The four of them were all seated, and Gu Lili took out a scroll and said lightly: "Here are some records I found in Dali Temple about the deceased's life and family background. ”

Then she unfolded the scroll and slowly explained: "This person's name is Shen Sangui, a native of Luoyang, who came to Chang'an from business, and is also unknown on weekdays, and the record about him is that he was drunk and killed in Chang'an City two years ago. ”

Chen Changye nodded, he had no objection to this, but Lin Jingnian asked: "Does he have a family business in Chang'an City, or a relative or something, how big is the family business, and if he dies, who will inherit his family property?"

Hearing this, Gu Lili nodded with satisfaction, and then answered Lin Jingnian's question, "This person only has three shops in Chang'an City, but he has many shops in Luoyang, and he has no heirs for the time being. ”

Hearing this, Lin Jingnian fell into deep thought, half loudly, and asked, "Then what is the murder that happened to him two years ago?"

Chen Changye was silent on the side, Chi Xiaoyao, the girl, didn't care about these things, she was staring at the moon bend outside in a daze, Chen Changye bumped her lightly, she frowned and looked at Chen Changye.

"Eh, let's go out and blow the wind, it's too serious. Chen Changye asked quietly, he knew that his mind was not as good as Lin Jingnian, and if he couldn't do anything, then he didn't need to work hard, so he wanted to relax.

And Chixiao glanced at Chen Changye from afar, and didn't speak, just let Chen Changye wonder to himself. I could only secretly suppress my sleepiness and listen to the conversation between the two people next to me.

With the unfolding of the scroll in Gu Lili's hand, the old thing began to appear in the eyes of the world from the dusty case file, and the deeds recorded on the yellowed scroll were incredible.

And this story has to start from a spring two years ago, that spring, the flowers are red and the leaves are green, and the spring rain is delicate. Next to a well-known green building in Chang'an City, a drunken person walked out.

This person was richly dressed in silk and was obviously a local dignitary. His face was slightly red, and he was full of wine, and when he saw the ladies next to him, he smiled and teased, but he didn't make too many excessive moves.

At this time, there was a candy man on the side of the road, and the drunk man thought that he could pass by, but he did not expect that a beautiful woman led a little boy with his hair in a bun and walked by, and the woman couldn't bear the little boy's noise, so she stopped to buy him candy man.

The drunk, not knowing what to think, wandered around for a while, and then rushed over and overturned the candy seller's cart, and the woman was knocked unconscious by her punch, and the little boy screamed and rushed up to protect his mother.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the drunk man led a bamboo stick on the candy seller's car and poked it into the little boy's eye, and the blood slowly remained, and he didn't know what happened, and finally everyone present was confused.

The woman died, the boy was blind in one eye and fainted, the drunken ran away in a panic, and the candy seller was nowhere to be found.

The next day, someone reported the case, and the yamen sent someone to find the panicked drunk man according to a jade pendant left at the scene. In the end, the drunk man did not believe what he was doing at all, and even threatened to be drunk at the time and did not know what was happening.

However, the traces of the fight at the scene confirmed that the drunk man was the murderer. So the local yamen sentenced the drunkard to behead the autumn queen. Later, for some reason, either because the drunk man was a big family and Shen Sangui spent money to eliminate the disaster, or because there was another hidden story in this case, in the end, Shen Sangui was only fined some silver and expelled from Chang'an......

After the story was told, Lin Jingnian took a deep breath and asked lightly: "What is the identity of the woman and the little boy, and what is the identity of the candy seller?"

When Gu Lili heard this, he could only sigh secretly and said, "Later, it was found out that the lady was the wife of a cousin of a local prince, and the little boy was his son. The one was now a merchant, doing a good business, and had a larger mansion. ”

After speaking, Gu Lili was stunned for a moment, and she said: "The person who sold candy has no news about him, and I don't know his life experience, do I need to check?"

"Check!" Lin Jingnian said lightly, turned his head to look at Chi Xiaoyao who was smiling on the side, and asked, "Did you find anything?"

With a mysterious smile on Chi Xiaoyao's face, she nodded lightly and whispered: "If I think correctly, Shen Sangui at that time was in the illusion, and the one who performed the illusion could only be the guy who sold the candy." ”

Lin Jingnian nodded and said, "Yes, since this person can let the yamen record so little about himself, either he has a background behind him, or this person is good at trickery, the evil art of the rivers and lakes." ”

Saying this, Chixiao Yao was immediately dissatisfied, and she said coquettishly: "Brother Jingnian, is it possible that my illusion is an evil art in your eyes?

Lin Jingnian suddenly remembered that Chixiao Yao also knew illusion, so he explained embarrassedly: "No, illusion is also good and bad, good intentions are immortal magic, sinister intentions are evil arts, you must be immortal magic!"

Chixiao Yao, who praised this, covered her mouth and snickered, Chen Changye ruthlessly splashed her cold water on the side and said: "I can't say, with people's hearts as the boundary, I can only slap people and I don't know if my heart is good or bad." ”

Chixiao glared at Chen Changye and said, "Besides, I'll make your heart cold." Chen Changye gave her such a scare, but he could only restrain himself and try not to provoke her as much as possible.

Lin Jingnian thought about it, and then came: "Anyway, now the person who has an enmity with Shen Sangui has been found, it is the cousin of the prince, Miss Gu, do you have some information about him?"

When Gu Lili heard this, her face was a little red, and she seemed embarrassed, she scratched her head and said embarrassedly: "That, I went out in a hurry, I forgot it, but I remember that his name is Tangxi, and there is his mansion not far from here." ”

Lin Jingnian understood, so he said: "It's not too early now, everyone go to sleep first, and tomorrow we will visit and meet that Tangxi, right?"

The crowd had no objections, so they packed up and left. On the way, Chen Changye picked up some leftover redwood wolfberry medicinal herbs around the store, and he didn't know what to do.

The four of them returned to the small inn where some candles were still lit, and then went back to their rooms, Chen Changye wanted to get some hot water for Changpei, so he went back to the room to clean up first, opened the door and lit the candles only to find that he was sitting on the bed with Changpei.

She didn't seem to be asleep yet, she saw Chen Changye come back and muttered a few times, staggered and walked over, Chen Changye was a little strange, what did this girl want to do if she was so sleepy and didn't sleep?

Unexpectedly, Chang Pei pounced over and grabbed Chen Changye's arm, and after hugging him with his hands, the whole person softened and collapsed on Chen Changye's body. Chen Changye suddenly understood that this girl shouldn't be able to sleep without holding herself, right? Then he helped her to the bed with a wry smile.

Now it seems that there is no way to get her some water, so she can only blow out the oil lamp, and accompany the sleeping Changpei into sleep, the two are speechless, and their hearts are connected.

The moonlit night is quiet, the streamer passes through the gap, the quiet night passes quickly, and it is the dawn of the day, the dawn of dawn shines from afar, shining through the small window on the face of Changpei's delicate white porcelain doll, which seems to be beautiful.
