Chapter 196 New clues
Lu Jinping said: "By the way, you, were you okay last time?"
Lu Niang said, "If there is something wrong, how can I see you? Thank you for letting me go. I used the knife you left to cut the rope. After getting out, I immediately ran back to the top of the mountain to get the medicine. I forced myself to support the medicine to get the medicine and saved my life. However, it was still a little late. My life was saved, but I fell seriously ill and lay in the bed for several months. I could get out of bed and walk around a few days ago. Alas, this time, I really escaped from death."
"Didn't the person who entrusted you to kill me come to cause trouble for you?"
Lu Niang said, "Please don't ask again, okay? This person has let me go. If I don't know the mercy, it will be easy for me to take my life at any time."
Lu Jinping nodded and said, "I understand, okay, I won't ask. As long as you are fine, that's great. By the way, we buried your husband's corpse in a chasm outside the city. If you want, I can take you to find it, and you can move the corpse away at any time."
Lu Niang slowly shook her head and said, "Although I have the name of a husband and wife with him, I don't have the reality of a husband and wife. He is a thief with many enemies. If he moved his body back to his hometown, he would probably cause trouble for the people in his hometown. It would be better to let him be buried in his hometown. When he embarked on this road, he had already predicted that there would be such a day. It would be impossible for the fallen leaves to return to their roots and to be buried in the ancestral grave. As long as there is a burial place, it would be satisfied."
Lu Jinping said: "What are your plans after your condition is cured?"
Lu Niang smiled and looked at Lu Jinping with her eyes scorching, saying, "I'll follow you, are you willing to take me in?"
Lu Jinping didn't know how to answer for a moment. Although he was a little concerned about Lu Niang, he was not yet at the point of talking about marriage in deep feelings. Lu Niang suddenly asked such a direct question, and he was finally asked.
Lu Niang blinked mischievously: "Don't be nervous, you're just teasing you. If you really want to marry me, I can't marry you. I'm actually marrying the turtle to avoid those annoying people. I have a husband and no one comes to me. Otherwise, there will be endless trouble, but I can't get married. I told you before that the martial arts I practice are boy skills and must maintain a virginity, so even if you promise to marry me, I can't marry you."
After hearing this, Lu Jinping felt a little melancholy and smiled awkwardly and said, "For the sake of martial arts, do you rather give up your happiness for the rest of your life and never get married for the rest of your life?"
Lu Niang looked at him. Her eyes slowly moved to the river and said leisurely: "I don't know, I really don't know. Maybe one day, I met a man who was willing to give up my martial arts, and I might change my mind, but until now, I haven't met him. I'm not afraid of you making jokes, you really make me moved. But I won't let me give up my martial arts for you. So, things are hard to come by. Even a man as good as you can't let me give up. Can I find a better man than you in the future? It's impossible, so I can only choose to be lonely in this life."
"Look at you praise me, we don't have much contact with each other, so we won't make you feel so good, right?"
Lu Niang turned her eyes back and looked at him: "Since I can't marry you as a wife, what's the point of talking about this topic? Let's talk about something else."
"Okay, what are you talking about?"
Lu Niang hugged her knees with her arms, put her pointed pink chin on her knees, looked at him with her eyes, and said, "I just want to listen to you. When I am sick, I really think of you in my head. I just want to see you and listen to you. You can say anything."
Lu Jinping smiled: "Okay, then I'll talk about a strange case I've solved during this period, which really messed up my head. Tell you, maybe you can help you out with ideas."
"I don't know how to solve cases. I heard that you solve cases like a god. There is no case that cannot be solved in your hands. It must be very difficult to stump you this time. Tell me, although I can't give you an idea, sometimes, when you encounter difficult things, you can find a solution by yourself. Do you have such luck?"
"I hope so."
Lu Jinping told the case from beginning to end. This case has actually caused a lot of controversy in Tongzhou, but outsiders don’t know many of the details. It is precisely because of this that all kinds of rumors in the market have become more bizarre. Lu Niang has actually been to Tongzhou to find Lu Jinping for more than a day, so she naturally heard this story. She only heard from Lu Jinping, who was responsible for the handling of this case, that there was more truth and more bizarreness.
After listening, Lu Niang was confused about what the problem was?
After a moment, Lu Niang said, "I think there are indeed many unusual things in this case. What puzzles me the most is the death of the courtesan Feng Die. Judging from the situation you mentioned, she only had one meal after going out. In such a short time, it would be not easy to burn a person to charcoal."
Lu Jinping slapped his thigh and said, "You caught the key to the problem at once. I have been thinking about this for a while. What method did the murderer use to burn a corpse to a highly carbonized state in such a short time? If we hadn't arrived in time to put out the fire, I'm afraid her head and feet would have burned to ashes."
Lu Niang nodded and said, "I know that some alchemy people have mastered many bizarre magic spells, including this kind of burning technique. Not to mention humans, even stones can be burned. I have seen it with my own eyes."
Lu Jinping was stunned. Did the Tang Dynasty actually have advanced technology that even modern technology could not achieve? These alchemy matters really have some unknown skills.
Lu Jinping asked, "Where have you seen it? What kind of person is it? What kind of method is it used? Can you tell me? Maybe some clues can be found from this. Because the way the murderer burns a person to death is not ordinary fire. There is no way for ordinary fire to burn a corpse to be highly carbonized in such a short time. If I know this special method of crime, if I know, I might be able to follow the clues to find the person who masters this method. This person is likely to be related to this case. Please be sure to help me."
Lu Niang said: "I have seen many elixirs, but the only time I saw this kind of burning technique was only one. This man was called Randeng Tianshi. He lives in Juxianlou in the capital. Juxianlou was built by the late emperor Taizong. Emperor Taizong highly praised Taoism. Anyone with Taoist practices in the world recruited Juxianlou in the capital with a large sum of money, respected him as the Tianshi, and allocated a lot of money to refine elixirs for them. This Randeng Tianshi is best at all. He can spit flames and grab fire charcoal with his hands, but his body will not be burned at all. I once saw him shoot a fire bullet and burn a rock into a pile of powder. It is really eye-opening. There are really such immortals in the world."
Lu Jinping nodded and said, "This news is so important. I didn't expect that I could meet you on the river and get such important news after meeting you. I really have the help of a noble person. You are my noble person!"
Lu Niang twisted her body and sat beside him, tilted her pretty red face, looked at him shyly and said, "Since that's the case, why not kiss your noble man?"
Lu Jinping was not polite, and reached out to hug her slim waist and kissed her.
Although Lu Niang spoke generously, she was shy when she really wanted to do this. When she turned around, Lu Jinping kissed her tender and smooth face.
Lu Niang screamed, stood up, walked quickly to the stern of the boat, and said shyly with her back: "No, if this continues, I can't control it anymore. The martial arts I have practiced for many years cannot be ruined by you. I still have many important things to complete by this martial arts. I'll send you back, and see you next day."
Seeing that she was already moved, Lu Jinping suddenly calmed down and wanted to send her back, he couldn't help but admire the strong concentration of this man. It seems that practicing martial arts requires enough concentration. It is considered to be excellent if Mount Tai collapses in front of him without blinking.
He didn't dare to continue to linger with Lu Niang, so he would rather go back early. After getting such an important clue, he quickly went to verify it. So Xiaozhou turned around and went to Yufeng and his pleasure boat that followed him far away.
Seeing that he was about to come to the pleasure boat, Lu Jinping couldn't help but ask, "Where do you live? If I want to see you, how can I find you?"
Lu Niang turned her head and looked at her with a hint of relief: "Do you know? I have already thought about it before. If you don't ask this, you will be ruthless to me. It will be meaningless to stay. Then I will go far away and never come to see you again. But now you ask, it means that you still care about me in your heart, and I will be by your side and you will not be laughed at."
Lu Jinping was a little moved and said, "How could he not worry? Where do you live?"
"Do you remember the big banyan tree that we left the water and went ashore last time and changed our clothes?"
Lu Jinping nodded: "Remember, it's on the downstream shore."
"Well, I will build a straw shed and practice wherever I want to see me. If you want to see me, you can come at any time. Don't be too careful. I have no other intentions, nor do I want to wait for you, but I have nowhere to go. Since you still want to see me, I will stay by your side so that you can find me. It's that simple."
"I understand. I'll find time to see you!"
Ye Qingqing stood at the bow of the boat and looked nervously. Seeing them talking intimately in the distance and finally hugging each other, she felt uncomfortable. At this moment, Lu Niang actually got up and turned around and supported the boat. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. When the boat leaned against the bed, she quickly put down the pedal and picked up Lu Jinping and returned to the pleasure boat.
