Chapter 3: The Case Is Discovered in the World
At this moment, it was raining lightly in Fengqi Town, and the bluestone road became damp, and fine raindrops fell sharply along the slightly warped eaves and splashed on the ground.
The coolness of the breeze was a little aggravated, and the people in the clothes on the road were still walking slowly on the street, and from time to time there were a few girls with oil-paper umbrellas walking together, and people did not care about this little rain.
If you want to say the most lively place in Fengqi Town, the tea shop at the foot of Chenshan Mountain is overcrowded today.
"Ten years ago, in a Dongmiao village at the foot of Chenshan, all the men died overnight, and there were ghosts and monsters every night. It is said that ten years ago, the emperor sent the national teacher to come to suppress it in person, and this stopped, and recently I heard that strange things have begun to happen in the village at the foot of Chenshan Mountain, and the corpses have been scattered in pieces........ "Before the storyteller's words fell, he heard the exclamations of the diners at the table mixed with the laughter of men.
Behind the red wooden door, in front of an inconspicuous table sat a woman in a red shirt, her ink-colored hair was tied up in half with a red ribbon at will, the breeze blew into the tea shop from the door and brought up the woman's long hair, and the small silver bells on her waist and wrist were very delicate, and with the woman's small movements "ding" made a crisp sound, just like the drizzle outside the house.
At this time, the woman was looking down and chewing peanuts, and she couldn't see her face clearly, and part of the reason why the people around her looked at her from time to time was that there was a lazy white fox lying on the table, and the fox's eyes were blue and it was really rare, but the fox was kept as a pet, and I was afraid that Quan Fengqi Town would never find a second one.
Ignoring the strange eyes of the people around him, Yun Zhen casually played with the peanuts on the plate, the sadness on his handsome little face was clearly visible, and his upturned nose was wrinkled.
"Alas..."Yun Zhen looked out of the door and sighed.
The fox on the table opened his sleepy eyes and looked at the woman when he heard the sound, then closed them, and said, "This is the thirty-eighth sigh you sighed today." β
Yun Zhen picked up the peanut and threw it into the air, raised his little face and opened his mouth to catch the landed peanut grains steadily, and the four men on the corner table in the distance saw Yun Zhen's face clearly, and couldn't help but laugh a little obscene and muttered: "This chick is a real water spirit, I don't know how to play..... Ahh
Before they finished speaking, the four of them covered their eyes and fell on all fours, causing a panic around.
Yun Zhen weighed the peanut grains in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "The four uncles please be quiet when you talk about others, otherwise if I hear any foul language, next time it will not be as simple as peanuts." β
The four people with swollen eyes like buns hadn't said anything yet, but they heard a smiling male voice from outside the door of the inn: "Yes, yes, this peanut is a good throw, and the strength is just right." β
The sound was as crisp as the rain outside the door, which made people feel comfortable, and everyone looked out.
Yun Zhen followed everyone's eyes and looked out of the door, although he only heard the voice of one person, but it was a man and a woman.
The man is dressed in dark blue clothes, and there is a black fan in his hand, his jet-black hair is curled up with a delicate silver crown, and the dark blue beads of the hair crown are hanging behind his head, and the wide sleeves of the shirt look delicate and flawless.
The handsome eyebrows with a smile that had not faded were really graceful, and I only heard the women of the inn screaming and whispering.
The woman was dressed in a sky blue light shirt, white boots, holding a long sword with white fine lines, and her thin wrists were wrapped around white wide bands to look very capable.
Seeing the person coming clearly, Yun Zhen stood up, pounced on the woman, and said in surprise: "Sister Yan, you are finally here!"
Looking at the cloud pillow hanging on Yan Chi's body beside him, Qi Moting said angrily: "You can only see your sister Yan Chi, what about your brother Ting?"
Yun Zhen said: "I saw it, I saw it, it's not like I haven't seen Sister Yan for a long time, I miss it a little." β
Yan Chi smiled, touched the top of the cloud pillow's head, and said, "I also miss the cloud pillow girl." β
Qi Moting glanced at Yun Pillow, turned around and saw the lazy fox on the table, and shouted, "Ayin, I want to die as a god." β
The fox's blue eyes were disdainful, and he raised his paws to block the handsome face that came over, and said, "Stay away from this son." β
Qi Moting said with a helpless face: "Okay, your brothers and sisters breathe out of one nostril, right?" β
Yan Chi was speechless, really naΓ―ve, and said angrily: "Let's go, go and see." β
The trio and a fox apparently did not notice the gaze of the entire innkeeper and exited the inn.
The fox and the man are brother and sister? Are these three people afraid that they are sick? What a pity for this face!
The crowd shook their heads and scattered.
After a while, the three of them came to the yamen of Fengqi Town.
"Sister Yunzhen, how long have you been in the world? Will Old Man Shang let you go?"
Qi Moting held the fox Yunyin and looked around at the scenery of the yamen, the courtyard was not elegant, and the ordinary courtyard showed the official position and incorruptibility of the county order.
Yun Zhen led the way ahead and replied, "The old man asked me to come, and I have been here for seven days. β
Yan Chi held the sword in his chest and asked, "What has you found in this town?"
Hearing this, Yun Zhen nodded and said, "I'll take you to see it, anyway, I've never seen such a murderous crime scene." β
The three of them went to the private room where the cloud pillow lived, the room that was not too big was the best in the yamen, one side collapsed, a desk, the potted grass was quite complete, and the sun was transparent to the north and south.
Qi Moting looked at it for a long time and compared the other scenery in the courtyard, and said, "I didn't expect this county order to be good to you." β
Yun Zhen brought the teapot over and motioned for Yan Chi to sit down, and then said: "Of course, this case is now causing panic in the town, and Cao County has broken Master He's heart. β
Yan Chi picked up the teacup with his fingers and took a sip of tea, the flower tea in Fengqi Town was really good, and I heard that he had paid tribute to the imperial court many times.
It seems to be good: "Did I just hear what Mr. Storyteller said in the tea shop true?"
Yun Zhen sat on the square collapse, held his cheeks and said: "Half-truth, I don't think this matter is a crime committed by ordinary people, but it looks like some kind of monster, anyway, it's approaching evening, if you are not tired, we can go to the scene now to take a look." β
"Why do you have to wait until night?" Yan Chi asked.
Yun Zhen crossed his arms and made a terrifying expression and said: "Only at night can you see the mystery of this formation, Sister Yan, I can remind you, don't eat dinner." β
Yan Chi looked at Yun Zhen's cute little expression, shook his head and smiled softly: "Okay, listen to you." β
Qi Moting looked at Yan Chi, who was judging the two of them peacefully, and wrinkled his nose: Women are really fickle.
Just after the end of the day, the town is not too big to be lit up, and the hawkers along the road start to make a living at night, although the rain has passed the wet road, but it can't stop the life of the people of Fengqi Town, and it is still colorful.
The three of them left the yamen, crossed the main street of the town, and traveled about a mile east, passing through a forest, and vaguely saw a village in the distance.
Look at the stone plaque at the entrance of the village: Dongmiao Village.
