Feng Ziying got troops from five cities to report that Lin Luan was dead. Liu Yunxi, who lived with Lin Luan, rushed to the government early in the morning to report the case, saying that he went to Lin Luan's house to call her for dinner last night, but saw her lying on the kang.
She couldn't move. She thought she was ill, so he wanted to go up and ask, but he saw a pool of blood dripping from her chest. She had been dead for a long time. Feng Ziying immediately dropped her chores and rushed over. People from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division were already there.
He said: "Dead with one blow." Feng Ziying nodded: it must have been done by a top master. He ordered people to search the house carefully, withdrew himself, and immediately went to the State Administration Bureau to ask for an audience with Liu Biao.
Liu Biao was old and living in the small courtyard. I heard that he didn't get up when he came. He sat on a chair with a towel covering his knees. He smiled and said: "I am old and my legs and feet are not flexible. I hope you will forgive me, Mr. Feng."
crime."
"I don't dare." Feng Ziying clasped her fists and said, "I have something to ask of my old master. Do you still want to help me?"
Liu Biaoqi said: "How can I help Master Feng with my old bones? Master Feng is joking."
Feng Ziying said: "There is an important murder case today, which is related to several murder cases. The killer's skills are extremely high. The subordinates are all incompetent people, so it is impossible to check the depth of their skills. I would like to ask the old prince to do a favor and trouble the nobleman.
Send an expert to help the lower official take a look."
Liu Biao hissed, and after a while he said: "They... I'm afraid they can't do these things."
Feng Ziying smiled and said: "The old prince must have a way." Liu Biao frowned before he could think deeply. Feng Ziying clasped his fists again and said, "Leave it to the old prince. This case is difficult, the stakes are high, and the lack of guarantee has something to do with the noble branch.
I will check somewhere else first and take my leave." Then he turned around and left. He never sat down or took a sip of tea.
The other person had disappeared. Liu Biao raised the tea cup at hand and smashed it on the ground. It suddenly fell to pieces. He gritted his teeth and said: "You are rude!" After a while, he was discouraged again. Although Feng Ziying was not serious at all.
He didn’t even have a title, but he was a popular person in front of King Yan. And he made it clear that he suspected that the case was related to the people over there. If no one went over there, Feng Ziying was afraid that he would find something wrong with him. After thinking about it for a long time, his fate
People called him the eldest grandson.
Suddenly Liu Fang came over to see her grandfather, and Liu Biao sighed: "As the old saying goes, once the emperor is the king, there are always ministers. Your great-grandfather earned his fortune in this country from a narrow escape. Now that the late emperor has passed away, our family has lost its dignity. Even Feng Ziying
That bastard dares to stand up in front of me."
Liu Fang was originally a romantic child, and she had been friends with Feng Ziying in her early years. After hearing this, she felt a little uncomfortable and said, "But what's the misunderstanding? Ziying has always been polite."
Liu Biao couldn't help but closed his eyes. Feng Ziying already had such an identity, but this confused grandson only thought about the poor friendship between the two of them in the early years. It's no wonder that they didn't take Li Guofu seriously. After a long time, he sighed: "You
Go to that place."
Liu Fang's eyes moved: "Which one?"
Liu Biao nodded: "I told you that I have something important that I need to tell you face to face and ask them to send a reliable disciple over." Liu Fang accepted the order. After turning around and taking two steps, Liu Biao shouted again, "Come back." Liu Fang hurried back.
Liu Biao thought about it for a long time and said, "Invite a few friends to our Zuiyunlou to have a drink. Pretend to be drunk and need to relieve yourself, sneak inside and change clothes, pretending to be a servant working in the kitchen."
Sneak out through the side door."
Liu Fang was startled: "Grandpa, why is this necessary?"
Liu Biao said: "I'm afraid someone from Feng Ziying will follow you. Don't let the people of King Yan know the whereabouts of that family, otherwise..." He shook his head. Otherwise, the government of the country will be like a fox without a tiger, and King Yan will be able to kill him with just one finger.
He could strangle him to death. When Liu Fang saw that his grandfather said it carefully, he understood that the matter was important and did not dare to neglect, so he bowed and left.
Returning to his own courtyard, he sent a few boys to invite five or six dandy boys who usually come and go, all of them are drunk and not very clever. He just said that there is nothing to do today, and you would like to come and have a drink together, Uncle Liu.
Treating guests. Those few people heard that there was free wine, how could they not come? So they went to Zuiyun Tower to exchange cups. Liu Fang smiled and fought with them, but always lost. He drank one cup on the left and another on the right.
; In fact, he hid several handkerchiefs in his sleeves, and the wine was folded in his sleeves. After eating for half an hour, Liu Fang followed his grandfather's trick and pretended to be urinating. After a while, his servant laughed.
When he came back, he called Qian'er and said, "You guys are having a great time eating and drinking. Our master is drunk and has already slept to death." Those dandies all knew that this restaurant was the property of the Liguo Mansion, and Liu Fang's was indispensable.
Everyone in the bed tent laughed and didn't care, and then the "Eight Horses" and "Five Leaders" got up. Liu Fang at the other end changed her clothes, touched some dust on her face, and walked away quietly with her back hunched over.
When they arrived at the other Liu family, Liu Fang saw Mr. Liu telling him his purpose of coming. The old man thought for a moment and called a man in his thirties to come over and said: "Go to the Liguo Mansion to see Duke Li. Don't let Feng Ziying do it."
The spies noticed." The man nodded, and before Liu Fang could say hello to him, he flew out of the window! Liu Fang stared at the window for a long time, and her back was so cold that she almost fell to the ground. Mr. Liu looked at
She glanced at him without saying a word.
Liu Fang now knew why his grandfather didn't let Feng Ziying discover this place. When he was a boy, he had also read some "Taiping Guangji", "Yinniang", and "Red Line", but this was the first time he saw someone climbing over a wall. I'm afraid this was the first time.
At that time, the four generals rebelled against the capital, and countless princes' warehouses were robbed, but their families were fine. It was because of their group. Looking back at Mr. Liu, Liu Fang's eyes were full of admiration, and he was much more respectful than when he came in just now.
Feng Ziying spent half a day checking with Lin Luan before returning to the Yamen. The doorman came back and said: "Sir, someone asked to see you, but they didn't tell me where they came from. They only said that their surname was Liu."
Feng Ziying said hurriedly: "Come and see me quickly!"
After a while, the yamen servant brought the man named Liu to see him. Feng Ziying took a look and saw that this man was more than six feet tall but less than seven feet tall. He looked short and stocky, but he was very strong. He was obviously a martial artist. He hurriedly clasped his fists and said:
"My subordinate is Feng Ziying. May I ask this young master?"
The man said: "Liu Si, a grassroots man."
Feng Ziying said: "Mr. Liu, please sit down." Liu Si also clasped his fists and sat down, waiting quietly. Feng Ziying said, "Now the official has encountered several murder cases, all of which have been solved, and there are rare masters among them.
, I see no way out, and I have asked the Duke to ask someone from your mansion to help."
Liu Sidao: "The common people understand. Can the common people see the corpse?"
Feng Ziying stood up: "Please."
He then led Liu Si to take a look at the body of Lin Luan's little maid. Liu Si slightly inspected it and said: "The secret medicine in the palace is three-spice bait. If the three spices of Suhe, Angelica dahurica and fennel are used as bait, then the two
The poison will take about a quarter of an hour to kill him. If there is no bait, he will die in three or four days."
Feng Ziying was shocked: "Spices as bait?" Liu Si nodded. Feng Ziying suddenly remembered that Lin Luan sent the little maid out to buy things. It happened that she went to buy spices, and she actually bought more than a dozen spices, among which Su He happened to be included.
Angelica dahurica and fennel. In this way, the little maid was not incapacitated because the person behind the scenes noticed that she was being followed. It is not certain when the poison was administered. It was just that the two people in the Rongguo Mansion and the Jiang family
How did the mother-in-law die?
He thought for a long time, and Liu Si asked: "Is there anything else?"
Feng Ziying said hurriedly: "One more thing. Could you please Mr. Liu to come with me?"
He then didn't even bother to eat, and took Liu Si to see Lin Luan's body. Liu Si took a look and said: "Dagger, precious blade. Kills with one move, splits the heart open without any extra effort. Killer's skills."
Skilled and precise, she was right-handed. Because the woman was killed while lying down, it was impossible to tell the height of the killer."
Feng Ziying said: "Is it possible to identify who it is?"
Liu Sidao: "No. Everyone in our family has this ability."
Feng Ziying frowned slightly and said: "Right now, this matter probably has something to do with your family."
Liu Sidao: "It has nothing to do with our family."
Feng Ziying said: "Yinfengju belongs to your family, right? The shopkeeper in front of you was the first of these people to die."
Naturally, Liu Si couldn't tell him that Yinfeng Residence had nothing to do with his family. He was the one who took the blame, so he had to listen to him for a long time. When he heard that "Gao Hanlin's son was missing", his heart moved. The seventh child of his family had been investigating this matter for a long time.
It's been a short time, and there is no clue. Although the Liguo Mansion is afraid that they are hiding something from them, it is unusual for a person to disappear out of thin air without finding any traces. In the past, 80% of the time, it was either the palace or the government that took away something. Now, now
Since the government didn't know where he was, could it be that he was taken away by the palace? It's just that their family didn't want to have anything to do with the palace anymore, which was troublesome. He said: "The shopkeeper's death is probably for another reason. Mr. Feng, we
I always don’t care about external affairs and don’t use poison or medicine because it’s too troublesome.”
Feng Ziying laughed and said: "Poison does not necessarily mean that the medicine is incapable of killing people."
Liu Si said nothing and looked around the room. He rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and found nothing suspicious. He then opened Lin Luan's dressing box and looked at the contents one by one. When he found a powder box, Liu Si had dexterous fingers.
After turning around, he pulled out a very small sandwich from under the small wooden box, put it under his nose, smelled it and said, "This is Sanxiangyin."
Feng Ziying was startled and hurriedly went over to look at the small drawer-like interlayer. There was a thin layer of powder applied inside, and it smelled quite sweet. "Is this poison?"
Liu Si nodded: "There must be some people around King Yan who recognize him. Master Feng can ask them to see something."
Feng Ziying then carefully put away the box of fragrant powder, thinking: It is impossible to say that the little maid was poisoned by Lin Luan himself, and the thief called the arrester to report the case. Could it be that Lin Luan sensed that the little maid had evil intentions and had her imprisoned?
Did the Chinese secret medicine send her to buy spices? Or did Lin Luan have a secret in his heart and poison the little maid to silence her?
He was still making random guesses in his mind, so Liu Sida said: "I heard that Mr. Feng has good relations with Rong Guofu."
Feng Ziying nodded: "Alright."
Liu Sidao: "The common people have something they want to ask the government to investigate. I wonder if they will ask Master Feng again."
Feng Ziying said with a smile: "The official is standing in front of Mr. Liu, why bother to go all the way around?"
Liu Sidao: "Master Feng is an official, and ordinary people do not want to owe you favors."
"That's all." Feng Ziying said, "That's it. If Mr. Liu doesn't mind, go to Zuo nearby for a quick meal, and you and I will go to Rongguo Mansion together." Liu Si agreed. The two of them then went to the small restaurant in the alley.
Fill your stomach as you like and go together.
Arriving at the gate of Rongguo Mansion, Feng Ziying asked the disciple: "Is your third master at home?"
Menzi smiled and said: "Uncle Feng, you are here! There is so much excitement in our house, so you can catch up."
Feng Ziying asked curiously: "What's so exciting?"
The disciple said: "We are in Rongxi Hall now, how about I take Uncle Feng there?"
Feng Ziying glanced at him: "You guys want to see the excitement, right?" Menzi laughed and led the way.
Feng and Liu followed them all the way to the Rongxi Hall. As expected, they saw many maids, servants, women, and servants poking their heads. When they entered the main room, they were very surprised. They saw Jia Cong sitting on the nanmu chair in the Rongxi Hall.
Feng Ziying folded his arms and calmed down; the others were standing. Feng Ziying recognized it. The eldest and third masters of Qi Guo Mansion were standing in front of Jia Cong, and Jia Zheng was standing next to Master Chen; the two masters of Qi Guo Mansion were gesticulating.
After speaking, the disciple shouted: "Second Master! Third Master Cong! Master Feng is here~~" Several people immediately turned their heads.
Jia Cong quickly stood up: "Brother Feng!"
Feng Ziying quickly stepped forward to greet Jia Zheng and others and asked, "What are you doing?"
Jia Cong sighed: "I have seen people rape relatives, but I have never seen people rape relatives with maids."
Mr. Chen was anxious: "Brother Cong! Rui Jin is really my sister, how could she become a raped relative?" Feng Ziying couldn't help but glance at Jia Cong: the Qi State Government knew about the co-authorship.
Jia Cong spread his hands and said, "I went back and asked after meeting the lord of your house yesterday. Sister Dian said clearly, no."
Jia Zhengdao: "Yes or no, I don't know if we meet in person? Even Mrs. Chen is here, why don't you let Miss Qidian come out to meet you? She is Miss Qidian's biological mother."
Jia Cong said: "How many times have I told you this in a short while? It seems like you haven't heard any of it. Your ears are really not numb, and my lips are also going to be deaf, okay?" Jia Zheng and Chen Jiaye
Both of their faces suddenly looked like they were constipated.
Feng Ziying had already guessed that Jia Cong didn't want to recognize this family and refused to let Mrs. Chen meet Chen Ruijin and her daughter, so she deliberately asked: "Since Mrs. Chen is here, why don't you let them meet?"
Jia Cong spread his hands and said, "I didn't say I wouldn't let you see me, I just won't see you for a while. You are so anxious."
"Why can't I see you now?"
Jia Cong said: "She didn't sleep well last night. She went out with me to do some errands in the morning and stayed up until lunch. Can't we let her sleep for a while? If you say we are relatives, don't you feel sorry for her?
He is so sleepy that we have to meet her when she is catching up on sleep? Is there anything in this world that is more important than eating and sleeping?" Feng Ziying was so surprised that he didn't slap him! It's hard to find anyone in the world who talks so seriously.
indivual.
Just as Jia Zhengcai was about to speak, someone ran in from behind and said, "Third Master! Get up. The girl is awake." The Chen family's father and son's eyes lit up!
Jia Cong said "Oh": "Now that she's awake, tell her someone claims to be her mother and ask her if she wants to see her."
The boy who reported the news said: "Sister, I told you, it's okay to meet you."
Jia Cong said: "Then please come over~~" Then a mother-in-law invited Mrs. Chen out of the ear room and helped her to go to Lixiangyuan.
Suddenly Mrs. Chen saw Chen Ruijin in the study, took two steps forward, hugged her in her arms and cried: "My poor son..."
Chen Ruijin stood in silence for a long time, listening to her crying hard, and gently broke away and said: "Madam, I don't recognize you."
Mrs. Chen was shocked. Before she could wipe away her tears, she said with doubt on her face: "Fourth girl, I am your mother."
Chen Ruijin said, "I don't remember having a mother." He asked her to sit down.
Mrs. Chen wiped her tears and said, "Are you complaining that we didn't recognize you earlier?"
Chen Ruijin shook his head and said, "I really don't recognize him."
"Then your elder brother..."
Chen Ruijin said: "In the Kingdom of Wu, Mr. Chen claimed to be my eldest brother. I saw that it was pitiful that he spoke so eagerly, and I was afraid that he was suffering from some kind of hysteria, so I followed his words. I just thought it was a good deed a month to coax a fool.
"
Mrs. Chen understood immediately and said after a while: "You blame us."
Chen Ruijin wanted to play tricks on them again, but suddenly he lost interest. He said: "You really want to recognize me as your daughter. Jia Cong originally wanted to find an identity for me. But, what benefit can you give me?"
Mrs. Chen stood up and said angrily: "I worked hard to give birth to you in ten months of pregnancy! You actually come to ask for benefits from me?"
Chen Ruijin smiled and said: "Madam, why should you be angry? Business cannot be done without righteousness, so let's go find Chen Hanlin's house." Ye Fan stood up and said, "Send the guests off." He turned around and left the study.
Mrs. Chen never thought that she would leave after a disagreement, so she was stunned on the spot. But at this moment, Jia Cong was also curious about what was going on here, and was hiding outside the house to eavesdrop. But seeing her come out so quickly, he whispered:
"Is this over? It's so boring."
Chen Ruijin smiled and said: "This is the first step."
"What's the use of the airs you asked me to put on for a long time just now?"
"I'm angry with them." Chen Ruijin said, "The Chen family is still a little arrogant at the moment. As soon as I throw them away, they will just pretend they don't have this daughter."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Mrs. Chen shouting in the study: "I just pretend that I don't have this daughter——"
Jia Cong said: "Okay, the first point has been fulfilled. What next?"
"Then?" Chen Ruijin smiled sweetly, "Then, of course, let them see the dowry list. A short-term pain is not as good as a long-term pain. What's the point of pain only once? It's interesting to have to look at the account book every month." (. )
