Chapter 41: The Begging Festival 1
Luo Li was shuttling through the corridor, and half of the lanterns in the mansion had been extinguished, and suddenly there was a figure behind her, and she turned around vigilantly to go back, it turned out to be Pei Ying.
"Oh, I'm scared to death, Master Pei, do you know that people are scared to death?"
The dim light only shone on half of Pei Ying's face, flickering bright and dark. She had a serious expression and said quietly, "Miss Luo isn't going to spend the night outside?"
"Afraid that Master Pei would be worried, the little girl came back. Is there something wrong with the adults looking for the little girl this morning?"
"Where did you go last night?"
"I've been resting in the Orchid Garden, what?"
"Yesterday we saw the man who punished the person in Yuweixuan, and he was killed in Yuweixuan's Tianzihao room this morning. Pei Ying looked at the woman in front of her with an innocent expression, but this did not convince her.
Early in the morning, she was called by Mu Wei to assist in solving the case. She has some personal relations with Mu Wei, who is also a female official, plus she is a first-class guard in the palace, and her official position is from Liupin, so she knows the wounds of cold weapons best, so Mu Wei asked her for help early in the morning.
The cause of death of the deceased was simple, a fatal wound in the abdomen, more than two inches, and a smooth incision. The dagger found at the scene of the crime can already be identified as a murder weapon. However, there was also a cut on the neck of the deceased, the wound was not deep, it was open, and there were obvious traces of true qi wounds at the cut, which was different from the abdominal wound.
Therefore, it is preliminarily judged that at least two people were present at the scene of the crime at that time, and one of them was a monk.
Monk, and he who has some intersection with that man.
Pei Ying has only one person in her heart.
Luo Liman didn't care and asked, "Oh, the way of heaven is restored, is there a suspect?"
"Yes, the preliminary judgment is that it is Wang Wensheng's scholar, and the portrait has been posted. ”
"Oh, maybe retribution is coming sooner. It's not too early, tomorrow the little girl will go out of the house to eat with friends, if Master Pei has nothing else, the little girl will go back to rest. After Luo Li finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, and Pei Ying behind him said word by word: "But there is also a monk who cultivates the truth is also at the scene." ”
"Oh, yes, what about the cultivators? Master Pei is doubting me?"
"Whether Miss Luo did it or not, I don't care, I care about Miss Luo's safety, and the girl can keep this in mind. ”
Luo Li listened to her words, confused, waved his hand and said, "Is there anything else? I'll leave first." ”
A quarter of an hour later, a masked man sat in Pei Ying's room in King Mu's mansion, and Pei Ying knelt in front of him.
"Xiaoying, where did you go last night? She rushed to save people and was injured. ”
Pei Ying lowered her head and frowned, "Master, Pei Ying knows that he is wrong." ”
"It's not a shame that she's not seriously injured, otherwise you won't be able to explain it on both sides. You don't have to look at her for these two days, just rest for two days. After a while, the storm will rise, and you should be optimistic about her with a good spirit, and don't let her act recklessly. ”
"Yes, master, my subordinates understand. ”
The man took out a secret book from his bosom and placed it on the table, "This is from the Southern Regions, you will like it." With that, the man walked out of the room and disappeared into the night.
Pei Ying stood for a while, picked up the secret book of secret weapons, held it in both hands, and lowered his head to smell it.
There seems to be a lingering scent of the man.
She just held the book in her hand and lost her mind.
On the seventh day of the seventh month, the Begging Festival.
Early in the morning, Yuan Qin came to Luo Li's room with hot Qiaoguo and a bowl of longevity noodles, she had finished washing and was moving her muscles and bones in the yard.
When she saw the noodles, she smiled and said to Yuan Qin, "I have a heart, thank you." ”
Yuan Qin replied: "The slave and maid are in charge, Xiao Li, where have you been playing in the past two days, I see that you are tired." ”
Luo Li's injuries were not yet healed, and his face was paler than before. She was about to find the second senior brother to change the medicine after the meal, when Lou Xiaoyun came from outside, her delicate body was blessed, and she said softly: "Sister Luo is early." ”
"Xiaoyun, did you have breakfast?"
"Well, Xiaoyun has eaten it. She looked at the food plate on the table and whispered, "Xiaoyun disturbed Sister Luo's meal......
"Don't get in the way, Yuanqin, you go and bring some snacks and sweet tea. Xiaoyun, sit down. ”
Lou Xiaoyun saw that everyone was going out, so she said mysteriously: "Sister Luoli, how can we sneak out to play tonight, Xiaoyun heard that there will be fireworks at this year's begging ceremony, Xiaoyun wants to see it! Sister Pei will definitely not agree, so Xiaoyun wants to see if her sister has any ideas?"
Luo Li smiled, this girl looked at everyone well-behaved and cute, and she was also a little rabbit yearning for freedom in her heart.
Lou Xiaoyun looked at the longevity face and asked, "Sister Luo, today is your birthday?"
"Well, another year older, hey. Luo Li pinched his face.
"Sister Luo's birthday Jile, I wish my sister to find Ruyi Langjun as soon as possible, hehe!"
"Why, do you want me to marry early? I don't want to, how good it is to be so free now. Luo Li thought for a moment and said: "Recently, my master and brothers came to see me, we are going to Yixianglou tonight, you have to promise not to tell the prince and others, you will go with me in the evening." ”
Lou Xiaoyun nodded hurriedly.
Luo Li leaned into her ear and whispered, and Lou Xiaoyun was excited to hear it.
Luo Li finished breakfast, changed her clothes, and let the carriage of the palace take her to the west of the city early, and walked by herself in the last section. When she arrived at the courtyard, Su Yichen was teaching Xiao Anu to practice martial arts in the courtyard, and Nan wore clean clothes, sitting next to her with her chin and watching the two.
"Master is early! Li Er greets Master. Luo Li walked to the stone table and poured a cup of hot tea, walked over to the master, and respectfully served the tea.
"Li'er, you go to Xian'er to change the medicine. He took the tea and kept his eyes on little Anu. Little Anu was concentrating on training and didn't dare to relax.
Luo Li knocked on the door of the second senior brother's room, and immediately came a voice of "Please come in", Su Xian saw that it was Luo Li, he picked up the medicine box next to him and greeted him.
Su Xian asked while changing her dressing, "Does it still hurt?" The wound was no longer red and swollen, and there were signs of scabbing. Su Xian nodded with satisfaction and carefully sprinkled the medicinal powder. He said softly, "Xiao Wu can't act so recklessly in the future, you know? Master is very worried about your injury, and came to ask me last night. ”
Luo Li was silent and nodded.
She was a little guilty, she didn't take care of her body when her brain was hot, and she always made her brothers unlucky.
"That's right, brother. Lori whispered in his ear.
"Let Senior Brother help you run errands again? For the sake of your injury, Senior Brother will help you once. But you have to tell the master, the master doesn't necessarily want outsiders to participate, and the matter of Guiyuan Villa must not be known to outsiders. ”
"The matter of Guiyuan Villa, Xiao Wu has not mentioned it to anyone, besides, that girl will not say anything, besides, don't you plan to leave Yanyang tomorrow? ”
"Well, don't move, the powder is going to shake you off. ”
Su Xian went to the side room to refine the pill after changing the medicine for her, this time he was pitted by Xiao Wu and Wen Yuan Cheng A lot of pills, and the inventory was sharply reduced, so he had to transfer fresh herbs to refine it again.
Luo Li hasn't seen Wen Yuancheng's shadow in the past two days, and the fourth senior brother, who has never liked to go out, has been mysterious these days, and he doesn't know what he is running to do. After changing the medicine, Luo Li also ran to the courtyard and saw that the master was teaching Xiao Anu to dance the sword.
Xiao Anu has no spiritual root and cannot draw qi into his body, so he has learned some basic swordsmanship from other sword disciples in Qingluan Peak before.
At this time, Xiao Anu danced a set of intermediate swordsmanship, his movements were agile, and his swing of the sword was powerful, which was much more accurate than hers. Luo Li had also learned this set, when she learned it with her senior brother Su Rui, who was the chief disciple of the Sword Sect, and his swordsmanship attainments were extremely high. It's a pity that she has never paid attention to this kind of thing of fighting and killing, and she is also absent-minded and unrefined when she learns.
