My historian is dying every day

Chapter 42 [There is something strange about it]

Shen Youfang stood in the hall, staring intently at Qi Yu, trying to decipher his expression, but after watching for a long while, Qi Yu raised his head like a mirror lake again.

Didn't see anything.

Then Qi Yu called in an unusual tone: "Li Gengnian."

Li Gengnian jumped off the beam immediately: "Liu Shilang, what's the matter?"

Qi Yu gave him a squinting look, without joy or anger, he just held the letter paper between his two fingers and handed it to him, smiling: "Look for yourself."

Seeing that Qi Yu's eyes were very cold, Li Gengnian didn't dare to delay. He quickly took the letter paper and looked at it. He was shocked after all, and looked up at Qi Yu in a daze.

Although it was written on the letter paper that the corpse in the river was "suspected to be" Lu Er, one could tell from the official documents of the government that the word "suspected" was superfluous at all, but it was added by the government just in case of omissions.The body was salvaged last night, so Lu Er's death was still ahead of him, and the incident happened only a few hours after Wen Yanzhi was knocked unconscious, so no matter how you look at it, it looks strange.

Shen Youfang looked at Li Gengnian from this side, for some reason, he felt that apart from being shocked, there was also a trace of fear in his expression.Looking at Qi Yu again in a blink of an eye, although he was still smiling, there was a gleam of cold stars in Li Gengnian's eyes.

"Let's show Mr. Shen too." Qi Yu spoke first, his gaze shifted from Li Gengnian to Shen Youfang.

Without saying a word, Li Gengnian gave the letter to Shen Youfang with both hands.

Shen Youfang took it and looked at it, and was startled: Lu Er is dead?How can this matter be explained clearly?

He raised his head again, and saw Qi Yu looking at him with a downcast smile, and hurriedly said, "My lord, let me tell you that the grass-roots acted in the same way as the adults yesterday, and there was no chance to harm Lu Er. What's more, if the grass-roots ordered Lu Er to attack Wen Yuan, he would kill him now." Lu Er, isn't it a fool's way? It's better to cry and call the government to arrest the grassroots, or the grassroots beat the warmer in front of adults, and save effort."

Qi Yu listened quietly, noncommittal, and then asked the manager of Yuzhuang: "Does Lu Er have any rivals on weekdays? How is his relationship with others?"

Several stewards glanced at each other, and they all said nothing. Lu Er didn't seem to have any enemies, nor any friends. He usually didn't talk much, and left after receiving the money at the end of the month.All they knew was that Lu Er had a wife, a hunter, who had a very good relationship with Lu Er, and would come to pick Lu Er home in the cold winter.

But the letter from the county government said that once Lv Er's body was found, people searched for Lv Er's wife, but found that the house was empty and the children were missing, which made people suspicious.

Qi Yu's eyes fell back on Li Gengnian again, and his tone seemed to be joking: "Then, could this person be killed by his wife's love?"

Li Gengnian's face was almost pale, he knew that as soon as he and the emperor found Wen Yuanwai yesterday, they immediately set up secret guards and checked all suspicious places and suspicious people around, until now, but Lv Er has not been captured.Then why, what I saw this morning was Lu Er's body?

Shen Youfang wanted to be friends with the imperial court, relying on the water control method to make a fortune, and it was too late to wait for Wen Yan's kindness, he wished to personally arrest Lu Er here for their trial, he could never be the person behind the scenes; even if Lu Er had enemies, he didn't have to He just waited until yesterday before committing a hasty murder.Lu Er's wife worked hard to support the family, and the husband and wife were in harmony. If Lu Er was killed by love, why bother to let Lu Er look for a job for two years, and also have children for Lu Er?Wouldn't it be clean to kill this useless husband early, so why bother finding guilt for yourself?

From the time they left the fishing village to when Lu Er was picked up, who could kill Lu Er during that period?

It can only be my own.

Qi Yu's eyes fell heavily on Li Gengnian's shoulders, like a gigantic cauldron, which weighed him down so much that he couldn't stand upright.Li Gengnian was very familiar with that gaze long before Qi Yu ascended the throne, it was a warning before the mountain rain was about to come.

Warn him, the people under his hands are not clean.

Li Gengnian's lips trembled slightly, he knelt down on one knee, leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, let's investigate now."

If the perpetrators were among their accompanying followers and hidden guards, how long did it take for the people behind the scenes to bury this thread?What does he want to use this chess piece for?Is it just the eyes?

Then what does he want to see?

At this point, the relationship with Shen Youfang only cares about Lu Er's missing wife.

Since this wife had a relationship with Yuzhuang, she naturally wanted to find her from Yuzhuang.Only by finding the only person who has contact with Lu Er, can we know why Lu Shiqiu escaped back then, how he became Lu Er, why he was disfigured and crippled, why he was pursued by whom, and finally deduced the Qin Wenshu case. What is the situation.

Shen Youfang knew that he had escaped because of Qi Yu's strong judgment, but if he hadn't raised his mouth to eat fish yesterday, Wen Yanzhi would not have met Lu Er, and it was absolutely impossible for Wen Yanzhi to be overthrown to the ground, bleeding from the head .After leaving Qi Yu in the morning, he thought to himself that this should be an apology, and he slapped his head again, remembering Wen Yanzhi's love for boats, so in the afternoon, with tears in his eyes, he personally copied the two drawings of Pei Chong's boat building. The original work was taken out, packed in a lacquered Zhennan box, and sent to Qi Yu.

When he arrived at the house with two volumes of drawings, Qi Yu had just come out of the dark room, and was standing behind the moon gate, wiping his hands with clear water provided by his servants. Seeing Shen Youfang coming, he casually threw the handkerchief into the porcelain basin, Swipe back left and right.Shen Youfang stood under the corridor, and saw that the silk in the porcelain basin was faintly dotted with scarlet.

"Master Shen." Qi Yu stood under a red maple tree with his hands behind his back, looking at him with a smile.

Shen Youfang lowered his eyes to explain his purpose, presented the wooden box, and left properly.

Qi Yu opened the two boxes in his hand and took a look at them. Looking at their colors, he guessed that they were considered good among Zhennan, which means "gold is needed to line jade", which means that the treasures inside are a hundred times more valuable. .

This Shen Youfang is indeed a genius.Qi Yu closed the box amusedly, thinking that the left and right sides are free now, why don't you take it to Wen Yanzhi to see what's new, it may calm the shock.

When Qi Yu walked into the small courtyard where Wen Yanzhi lived, he heard voices and laughter from inside, as if Gong Zhiyuan had come to talk to Wen Yanzhi.

Qi Yu stopped and was about to knock on the door, but he was listening to Gong Zhiyuan asking like an old hen: "Hey, brother Wen, you and Liu Shilang, are you... that, that? Yesterday, Liu Shilang took you Carrying you back like that, and wrapping you in your coat, it's really the same as the description in "Legend of Langxian" when Prince Wu Chi married the princess, just like flying flowers."

——What the hell is "that"?Qi Yu suppressed a smile, only felt that Gong Zhiyuan's words were funny, but also straightforward, thinking that the idiot should be vague for a while, and wouldn't admit it right away.

Sure enough, Wen Yanzhi choked on the water and coughed, "What is that? Brother Gong, you—"

"Brother Wen, are you still pretending? Even the blind could see the battle yesterday, and it was spread all over the backyard." Gong Zhiyuan interrupted Wen Yanzhi with a chuckle, and asked in a low voice, "You guys, when did it start?" ...Secret love? Huh?"

But Wen Yanzhi hesitated twice, as if he couldn't hide from the left and right, so he could only answer stiffly: "Perhaps... yes, in the palace."

But Gong Zhiyuan said in surprise: "In the palace? Before we went on tour? Wasn't that when Liu Shilang came to Beijing to take office? ——Oh, you fell in love at first sight! Could it be that when Liu Shilang met the saint for the first time, You just fell in love with Liu Shilang?"

Qi Yu thought to himself outside the door, when talking about Mian Sheng, this idiot hadn't looked at me in the first place, what's more, he actually counted gold in front of me, which made people angry.Thinking about it, it must not be that time.

Inside the door, Wen Yanzhi naturally said sloppily: "It must be, maybe, it's... right?"

Gong Zhiyuan thought he had guessed right, and was overjoyed: "I knew it. You two look alike, and you look like a couple, but..." His tone changed, Turned into worry: "Brother Wen, how are you going to tell Master Wen about this masculinity?"

Qi Yu was certain in his heart, and he was also intent on hearing how Wen Yanzhi would answer.

Unexpectedly, Wen Yanzhi answered this question very calmly: "Just say it."

Now it was Gong Zhiyuan's turn to be dumbfounded: "Ah? Are you not afraid?"

Wen Yanzhi's voice pierced through the wooden door, and said with a serious look: "So what if I'm afraid, I always have to say it."

Hearing this, Qi Yu couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart. At this moment, he realized that the zeal of this idiot is sometimes really outrageous.But if Wen Jiuling really cried until Yuqian came, he still didn't know how to deal with it.

Thinking about it is quite a headache.

But before he came back to his senses, Gong Zhiyuan asked again in the door: "But I heard that Liu Shilang's family is a single family member, and they are also a prominent family in Xijiang. You are gone, but Liu Shilang's family doesn't want it, and when the time comes, you won't succeed, how can you live well?"

Qi Yu stopped laughing just half way through, and wondered why Gong Zhiyuan was so talkative.

And when he heard the room fell into silence, Wen Yanzhi didn't speak for a long time.

Qi Yu's heart sank, thinking that these words pierced the idiot's heart, and when he said something he didn't want to say, he was hesitating whether to go in and interrupt the two of them, but just as he put his hands on the edge of the door, Wen Yanzhi Suddenly there was a sound.

"If it doesn't work, it won't work."

The clear voice said indifferently: "In the first place, there is nothing like that, it must be done."

--What?

As soon as these words came out, it was like a blade of ice falling down, cutting Qi Yu's heart.The gap left was not only painful, but also cold, as if the healing path was sealed by the frost and snow in the twelfth lunar month of winter.

He stepped back in a vain way, trying to let out a bad breath, and slowly tightened his hands holding the Zhennan box. At this moment, he just wanted to ask the person sitting inside, the intimacy last night, all in the "no way" In front of you, what is it?

joke?game?

He smiled wistfully, the bitterness floating on the tip of his tongue gradually buried the gap in his heart, and in the end, he did not raise his hand to push open the carved wooden door.

He turned around straight and walked out of the courtyard without saying a word.

Inside the house, Gong Zhiyuan was sitting at the round table outside, cupping his face and supporting his head, and staring at Wen Yanzhi opposite him: "Really? Let's just forget it?" What a pity.

"Forget it, so what?" Wen Yanzhi stirred the green sandalwood in the incense burner persistently with the silver spoon, and then closed the incense burner again. The smoke rising from the burner showed a reddish streak on his face, slowly lingering in the room.

He went on to finish the sentence just now, and added solemnly as usual: "I'm not someone who can see away. If there is such a time, finding an ancient temple and green temple will be enough for a lifetime. I don't know if this is called counting or not." gone."

"In short, if I don't follow him, I will definitely not follow others."
