Hearing Mu Yirong ask about the two maidservants who were now in the small courtyard of the study, serving Liu Jingshan, the few people glanced at each other, a little hesitant, and no one opened their mouths.

Seeing them like this, Mu Yirong thought that there was something inside, and the smile on his face became more and more gentle, so that they could dispel their worries and not be afraid.

If anyone dares to bully or hurt them, he will definitely seek justice for them.

Although Mu Yirong made such a guarantee, no one spoke, so his tone changed and he used the agitation method: "I think it should be the two of them, but they are the first class and the first class in this mansion who will serve people, so they will be sent to serve the county lieutenant Liu." ”

When the pungent Shenyu heard this, she immediately took a disdainful "phew", saying that their housewife just didn't know how to look at people, and always scolded them for being fox spirits who served her on weekdays. But he didn't know that the real vixen was by the master's side.

The voice is full of spicy falling jade, indicating that their lord is very clean and self-conscious, so he did not take a concubine, even when they were usually waiting, the lord always changed his clothes and washed himself, and when he bathed at night, he never let the maid get close.

However, since the year before last, the two girls were sent in by the lady's mother's family, their husband has become a little different.

As soon as Shenyu mentioned the two maids who were now serving the master, she couldn't help but grit her teeth, saying that the two of them didn't know where the lady's maiden family got the wild girl, and they all looked like foxes. At first glance, the lady's mother's family saw that the lady had been married for many years and had nothing to do, and she was worried that the lord and the lady would be separated, so they stuffed two foxes to help the lady and the lord consolidate their relationship.

Don't you know that their lord and wife have a deep relationship, and they can't tolerate others at all.

However, among the two, there is an eyeless vixen, who wants to climb into the old man's bed because he is young and beautiful.

When Mu Yirong heard this, he asked if the person was a bead?

Falling Jade shook her head, indicating that the pearl still had some eyes, and she didn't do anything out of the ordinary considering her lady's face.

As for the other one, she didn't want to mention it, and when she mentioned it, she was angry.

As she spoke, she also angrily "puffed", and couldn't help scolding: "That fox spirit who was born as a cheap slave doesn't look at her cheapness, how could the master take a fancy to her." But she was not ashamed, and one night she went into the master's study. ”

Speaking of this, Shenyu couldn't help but take a big "spit" again, scolded "shameless", and then began to hug for Mrs. Liu.

Although, on weekdays, Mrs. Liu would be unhappy because the maid looked at Liu Jingshan a few more times.

But he has never had any practical punishment for his subordinates, and he often sympathizes with the hard work of his subordinates, and gives more rewards, which is a hundred times stronger than Liu Jingshan, who never gives rewards and is famous for his stinginess.

Several other maidservants also hugged Mrs. Liu, saying that they had also bumped into the cheap slave and talked with Liu Jingshan in the middle of the night in the hidden place in the courtyard.

And they told their wife afterwards, but Mrs. still trusted the cheap slave very much, saying that she would not be like the master, just like a ghost lost her mind, and she didn't believe that the cheap slave seduced Liu Jingshan, which made people very puzzled and speechless.

Mu Yirong knew that there were two maidservants who served Liu Jingshan in the small courtyard of the study, one of them was called Chuizhu, who was the daughter of Zhang Laohan, the gardener of the house.

The other, like an invisible man, never caught his attention.

Mu Yirong only remembered that Hou Hu had said a few words, and that handmaid made him feel a little strange.

Now that I think about it, the strange thing should be because she is a cheap slave, the woman in the Western Regions has a high nose and wide eyes, and her appearance is completely different from that of the Central Plains.

Mu Yirong pondered for a moment and asked the maid who was born as a cheap slave, what is her name?

"Wu Shilan. ”

The sound of the falling jade was clear, like a pebble, thrown into Mu Yirong's heart lake, causing a circle of ripples, evoking a memory that Mu Yirong seemed to have.

He was like, where had he ever heard the name.

However, the ripples in his heart quickly turned to calm, and he was not reminded of anything useful.

Mu Yirong finally asked Shenyu and the others, did Xiao Tao say anything to them when she was locked up in the firewood room?

Falling Jade shook her head, saying that Xiao Tao had gone crazy since she woke up from a coma, and kept shouting crazy words such as "there are monsters" and "murdered", and like a frightened beast, she attacked anyone who wanted to get close to her, and some people were also scratched by her at that time.

After that, Steward Pang stepped forward to appease Xiao Tao, and Xiao Tao gradually settled down.

However, in order to prevent Xiao Tao from being stimulated again and going crazy and hurting people, he first locked her in the firewood room and wronged her.

Hearing this, the green swordsman Han Xiangzi squinted his eyes and said: "I heard that Steward Pang is very good to everyone in the house, why didn't he invite a doctor to Xiao Tao to come and see, and he was locked in the firewood room?"

Shenyu didn't like the green swordsman Han Xiangzi, so he glanced at him fiercely, and said angrily: "If you don't know, don't learn from the long-tongued woman who can only chew the root of her tongue to make a presumptuous statement, Steward Pang has ordered someone to ask a doctor to come and see Xiao Tao." It's just that Xiao Tao's life is hard, and before he can wait for the doctor, he ......"

Falling Jade has a pungent temperament and is straightforward, but when she mentions her little friend who has been with her for a few years, she can't help but choke up again, and she looks like a temperament with a heavy feeling.

There were no more questions to ask, so Mu Yirong asked Shenyu and the others to go down to do something, and told them to pay attention to their own safety, whether day or night, it was best to go together.

Shenyu took a few maidservants to Mu Yirong and bowed deeply, saying that although they and Xiao Tao are not relatives, they are all subordinates, they have the same fate, support each other, and have long been like sisters. I hope that Mu Yirong will find out the cause of Xiao Tao's death, catch the murderer, and avenge Xiao Tao.

As he spoke, several people couldn't help but wet the corners of their eyes again, sighing!

Mu Yirong nodded, saying that he would definitely catch the murderer and not let innocent people die tragically without redress.

Falling Yu and the others bowed down again, and then went their separate ways.

The green swordsman Han Xiangzi looked at the distant backs of Shenyu and the others, and his eyebrows and eyes were bent, perfectly covering up a trace of strangeness that flashed in his eyes: "If there are too many women, it is noisy, if there are no women in this world, the ears should be much cleaner." ”

Seocho often hears about the demons of the same race, saying that she is a wonderful flower among the bird demons. Later, she gradually grew into a wonderful flower of Mount Tai.

And now, she thinks that the green swordsman Han Xiangzi is the biggest wonder today!

"Where did you come from without a female?"

Han Xiangzi, the green swordsman who heard Seocho's question, smiled and hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't get me wrong, I just don't like this annoying noise of birds chirping, and I don't mean to belittle women." ”

It doesn't matter if you don't like females, you still look down on birds, and now, the green swordsman Han Xiangzi can be regarded as stabbing a hornet's nest.

"I'm Taishan 'fat tweet'......"

As soon as Seocho opened his mouth, he took a "puff", and said in his heart how could he still agree with the title of Fat Jiu.

But then I thought about it, now is not in the mountains, and when I challenge people, I can't use the same set again.

"I, Ruicao, the pavilion chief of Dali Temple, challenge you, the green swordsman Han Xiangzi, one of the four great swordsmen of Yan Zhou, do you dare to fight?"

How can this be a good chatter for a while, and then there is about to fight, and the green swordsman Han Xiangzi asked Ruicao with a smile, where did he offend her?

Seocho ignored the protests of the green swordsman Han Xiangzi, and asked him with a cold face if he dared to fight?

Qing swordsman Han Xiangzi held the Biqing sword across his chest, smiled gently, and his tone was a little playful: "I am not a humble gentleman, but I don't know how to be polite to women, and I won't be soft on you." ”

"I beat people, and I have never been soft. ”

"Just what I wanted. ”

After the green swordsman Han Xiangzi finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on Ruicao, and he held the hilt of the sword with a smile.

Mu Yirong took a step forward and stood in front of Ruicao with a smile: "Shaoxia probably forgot, Ruicao is an official of the imperial court, if you hurt her, the punishment for the crime is not light." ”

"We're just talking about martial arts in private, Brother Yirong shouldn't add charges to Zaixia. ”

Mu Yirong looked at Han Xiangzi, the green swordsman who was smiling: "If the young man wants to know how the kung fu of the Ruicao Pavilion is doing, you can come to Dali Temple to explore the reality, this is not a place for competition, don't make trouble for others." ”

The green swordsman Han Xiangzi's eyes flashed very slightly, and the smile on his face was still warm and soft: "I have heard the reputation of Dali Temple for a long time, and I have never had the opportunity to visit, but now I have Brother Yirong sincerely invited, and I will definitely visit another day." Presumably, there are two of you who are both wise and brave, and the outstanding officials, Dali Temple must be worthy of its name. ”

Mu Yirong smiled and said that he was waiting for the green swordsman Han Xiangzi to be a guest at Dali Temple at any time, and then reached out sideways and rubbed Seocho's head: "Don't mess around." Have you forgotten the three chapters of your covenant with me?"

Seocho pursed his lips, withdrew his fierce gaze from the green swordsman Han Xiangzi, and asked Mu Yirong, where are they going to visit next? The hour has passed noon, but the sky is not bright at all, and the clouds that cover the sun have become thicker, and the clouds are about to be unable to bear their own weight, and it will rain.

"Go to lunch. ”

When Seocho heard that Mu Yirong didn't make her hungry to investigate the case as before, she immediately turned into a dog's leg, followed Mu Yirong with a fart, kept sticking out her little head from Mu Yirong's left and right sides, and asked Mu Yirong if he knew what Liu Fu was eating at noon today?

Looking at Seocho like this, Mu Yirong suddenly had the idea of having a pet, but as soon as he thought that he was going to clean up his pet's feces, he immediately dispelled this idea.

Moreover, now by his side, isn't there a cute pet who always surprises him!

When Ruicao followed Mu Yirong back to Liu's mansion in a hurry, he was told that the man was scared of Xiao Tao's death and fell ill, and the cook had to take care of the meals of the master and the lady, and they were too busy to do so, so everyone could only solve lunch by themselves.

Ruicao remembered that the man in Liu's Mansion was a strong man who was nine feet tall and looked like a butcher, why was he suddenly frightened?

Mu Yirong had just asked the bald guy about it, but he didn't expect that after only a while, the other party suddenly became sick.

And the guy already knew that Xiao Tao was dead, why did it take so long to react, how long is his reflex arc!

The green swordsman Han Xiangzi disagreed, saying that when he heard that Mu Yirong had been intercepted and killed halfway when he came to Tong County, he was worried that someone would be poisoned in the meal, and wanted to poison Mu Yirong, and he was an innocent passerby.

Now, let's do it yourself, and save yourself that worry.

Mu Yirong was very speechless to the thick-skinned green swordsman Han Xiangzi, saying that if Han Xiangzi was worried, he could go to the restaurant to eat, and there was no need to get together with them.

The green swordsman Han Xiangzi said very righteously that he and Mu Yirong and Seocho are friends, so naturally they should share blessings and difficulties.

When the sky was drizzling, Mu Yirong, Seocho and Qing Swordsman Han Xiangzi stood in the empty stove room, looking at the ingredients on the stove and looking at each other.

Mu Yirong was about to ask who could cook when there was a sound of footsteps in the dripping rain behind him.

Mu Yirong thought it was someone from Liu's mansion, turned around happily, and saw the short and fat Lintong County Ling Qi Kecheng, holding an oil-paper umbrella that couldn't cover his fat body, walking over with small square steps.

As soon as Qi Kecheng saw Mu Yirong, he immediately ran two steps quickly and stepped forward to salute: "The lower official is entangled in trivial matters, and he failed to assist the waiter in investigating the case, this is the lower official, and I hope that the waiter will forgive." ”

Mu Yirong saw Qi Kecheng's pouting butt stretched out of the umbrella, wet by the rain, and hurriedly asked him to enter the house without courtesy.

"This official heard from Juezhi that the Qi County Commander was busy with official business and had no time to take a break. Somehow I have time to be here?"

Qi Kecheng put the oil-paper umbrella at the door: "The lower official heard that the maidservant girl in the Liu County Governor's Mansion was killed, and he has not been able to put his mind at ease, so he took advantage of the lunch time to come here to greet one or two, and by the way, inform the adults that the cause of Xiao Tao's death has been ascertained, but he died because of the broken skull caused by touching the pillar." According to the angle of his skull, the laceration on the back of his head, and the multiple marks of struggle on his body, it is concluded that he was indeed killed. ”

After Qi Kecheng finished speaking, seeing Mu Yirong pinching his chin and not saying a word, he hurriedly added: "I also said that the location and shape of the bone laceration scar that died by hitting the pillar is different from the scar from being grabbed by the hair and hitting the post. He can conclude that it is not a suicide, and if the adults have doubts, they can go to the county morgue for a re-examination. ”

After Xiao Tao's accident, no one seemed to think that she was crazy and died by hitting the pillar.

The people in Liu's Mansion almost unanimously agreed that Xiao Tao was killed by the monster that attacked Liu Jingshan.

Mu Yirong asked Qi Kecheng, can you believe that there are monsters in this world?

Qi Kecheng didn't understand what Mu Yirong meant by this, so he could only answer truthfully: "As a court official, this county commander should not say that he is a god and a ghost, but the world is so big that there are no surprises, and the lower officials are willing to believe that there are gods three feet above their heads, and all the evil things in the world are evil and evil, not from people's hearts." ”

Ruicao almost spit out a mouthful of old phlegm on Qi Kecheng's face, and rolled his eyes on his cold face to the extreme: "Qi County's order is really a little expert." ”

Now Han Xiangzi, the green swordsman on the side, was amused by Seocho's appearance and laughed "poof".

Qi Kecheng smiled awkwardly and saluted Mu Yirong: "It's not because the lower official has no clue about the investigation of the case, so he pretends to judge the words of gods and ghosts, and hopes that the lord will forget the lower official's nonsense for a while." ”

Mu Yirong waved his hand, there are now four cases in the capital on the road, all of which are rumored to have been killed by monsters. Everyone believes it, and two of them have been concluded to kill people by monsters, and there is nothing wrong with Qi County Ling having such an idea for a while.

But Mu Yirong immediately changed his words, and since he is a member of the yamen, he needs to be as clear as a mirror, otherwise it will be difficult to avenge the victims.

Qi Kecheng nodded again and again and said yes, Ruicao held a broom grass in his mouth, and asked Mu Yirong and the three: "It's past noon, no longer eating?"

The green swordsman Han Xiangzi stretched out his hands towards Ruicao: "I don't know how to cook." ”

Mu Yirong shook his head and said, "This official is not good at cooking. ”

Qi Kecheng also couldn't help with a look of love: "The lower officials can't cook." ”

After the three of them finished speaking, their expectant eyes fell on the only woman in the room, Seocho.

Seocho nodded very happily, but when the three of them saw her throw a whole piece of meat into the pot that was not yet hot, they stood aside with their shoulders and waited for the meat to cook, and they knew that choosing Seocho to cook was definitely the wrong choice.

So, Mu Yirong had no choice but to roll up his sleeves and start washing vegetables and cutting meat.

Han Xiangzi, a green swordsman dressed in white, was arranged to burn the fire and act as a temporary partner. He stuffed straw and straw into the stove, fanned the flames, and was choked with a big black face.

The rest of the work of washing rice and stewing rice naturally fell on Qi Kecheng.

Because everyone really couldn't believe in Seocho, they let her, the big Buddha, stand aside as an overseer, waiting for the meal to start.

Seocho stood at the doorway again, reaching out to catch the rain that had fallen from under the eaves.

The pearl-like round, full and transparent raindrops, "crackling, crackling" on the palm of Seocho's hand, and then gathered into a small puddle of water.

"When are we going back to Mufu?"

Mu Yirong is a big young master, where will he cook rice, he is to stew a large pot of seafood soup with sliced meat and some seafood, plus chili peppers.

When he was holding a spoon to boil, he heard the sound of Seocho's leisurely voice, and Mu Yirong raised his head from the milky white steam: "You miss home." ”

"Isn't the case closed, what are you waiting for?"
