Everyone read the script except me [Transmigration Book]

Yan Wujiu also saw Mr. Clerk walking towards him holding the file, his eyes were clear, warm and warm, he looked extremely innocent and good-natured, like a gentle scholar with no strength in his hands.Self-discipline and integrity, very easy to bully.

Even if Yan Wujiu didn't do anything, the two of them stood together, in front of the gentle and frail scholar, Yan Wujiu still looked like a bully with malicious intentions, which made people subconsciously nervous and feel dangerous.

Yan Wujiu raised his eyebrows slightly, and stopped in front of him: "Why do you run around holding these things every time, what about the others?"

Zhuge Xiao pursed his lips and smiled gently: "Master Gu is investigating the case, and Feng Butou has disappeared again. He is busy with his affairs. I am just a clerk, and I can't help much. It is not in the way to organize and deliver these things."

Yan Wujiu blinked, half-smile: "Are you pushed out?"

Zhuge Xiao couldn't help laughing: "What are you talking about? Can someone like me catch criminals?"

Yan Wujiu glanced at him, with a smile on his eyebrows a little bit, he was mad and frivolous, and said softly as if nothing had happened: "It is said that the six doors hide dragons and crouching tigers, I thought even a sweeper should be hidden. To be honest You said, I always thought that Dongfang, who is the most inconspicuous, is the most feared master among them."

Holding the document, Zhuge Xiao couldn't help looking at him with a smile, the gentle smile in his eyes was like a pool of clear water, he didn't care, and he was tolerant, just like an older and tolerant brother, he should joke with him: "It turns out that in Wugui's heart, I Is it so powerful? Knowing that I am so ordinary, wouldn’t it disappoint you?”

Yan Wujiu's smile faded: "No. At least I met so many people, only you made me feel that I didn't hate them from the beginning to the end. This alone makes you very extraordinary."

Zhuge Xiao's eyes brightened a little, and he looked at him, but smiled and said nothing.

After chatting casually for a few words, it's time to talk about business.

The two exchanged information on Yan Wujiu's questions after reading the dossier.

"The old patriarch of the Mu family died on the evening of May 22, and the old patriarch of the Gongluo family died in the early morning of May [-]. Now it's July [-], and the six doors only found out this thing, which doesn't seem to be quite right. Right?"

Zhuge Xiao stopped laughing, and with a worried expression on his face, he said gently: "We only found out about this case on the third day of June. When the case happened, weren't we still in Qingyuan County?"

Of course Yan Wujiu remembered that it was around the time Miss Ran died.

Zhuge Xiao explained seriously: "Because this case involves whether the mausoleum of the abolished prince can be opened safely, and the re-sacrifice and burial, things are a bit complicated. In the past 40 days, Mr. Gu returned to Luoyang for another ten days. After this, there will only be one Month. We investigated the Mu family, the public loser, everyone who was present at the time of the crime, and then checked all the people in Fengzhuang who had grievances with the two victims..."

Yan Wujiu chuckled and blinked: "There's no need for Dongfang to treat me so meticulously, I'm not King Xu."

Zhuge Xiao smiled with a good temper, his ears were slightly red, a little embarrassed, his eyes were gentle and deceptive.

Yan Wujiu asked: "Is the current breakthrough point and suspicious person locked?"

Zhuge Xiao hesitated for a moment: "Yes. It's just that everything is still in the detection stage. For the sake of caution, I didn't record it."

Generally speaking, when no clues can be found in love and vendetta, the victim is dead, and who is most likely to benefit is a very important breakthrough.

The patriarch Mu Lao is old-fashioned and low-key, with a single hobby, except for fishing and singing, he is not good at women, he does not smoke, drink or gamble, and he hardly contacts strangers, and the chance of making enemies is not high.

But if it is said that he is dead, who will benefit? This investigation found that there are many people who are looking forward to his death.

"First of all, the young patriarch Mu Tianhe, once Mu Lao died, he became the new patriarch. But according to our investigation, Mu Lao was somewhat dissatisfied with him several times during his lifetime. Although it is not enough to replace him as the young patriarch, but If Mu Lao has been alive, it may not be certain for a long time."

Zhuge Xiao and Yan Wujiu went back to his temporary room together, and told him what they had discovered.

"Following this line, I found that Mu Tianhe has many supporters. Among the four clans, although the patriarch and the young patriarch are of the same clan, they are not necessarily close. The patriarch can't decide the next successor, the young patriarch They were all elected by the whole clan. There are many young people in the Mu family who are dissatisfied with the old patriarch. The young patriarch Mu Tianhe they elected will naturally not agree with the old patriarch."

The main contradiction is that the four clans of Fengzhuang seem to be harmonious and united on the surface, but each has its own inheritance, and the priests of the Feng family will not teach other surnames.The Mu family's pioneering skills will not be told to the losers.

Among the four ethnic groups, there seems to be no restriction on marriage contracts, and young people can freely combine.The children born to the women in the clan belonged to that clan and were taken back to raise them.The patriarch recorded the child's parents only in order to avoid the child's future marriage partner, the blood relationship is too close.

But some people may not be interested in things of their own tribe, and want to learn things from other three tribes, so there will be contradictions.

"In the beginning, these contradictions were not serious, until the royal family of this dynasty began to use the ritual of Fengzhuang sacrificial ceremony, the status of the Feng family was elevated instantly, and because of the convenience of their positions, the Bai family was naturally close to the royal family and obtained the authority of the Fengzhuang. In this way , the Mu family and the Gonglo family fell a little bit, and the younger generation in the clan demanded changes. The old people thought more, worrying about causing trouble."

Against such a background, the conflict between the young patriarch and the old patriarch will increase day by day.

At the same time, as the people of Fengzhuang contacted more and more outsiders and dignitaries, they began to question the century-old system of Fengzhuang.

Especially the Bai family, because the Bai family accommodated many outsiders, they did not completely copy the customs of the other three families.Rather, it is the same as other places in the Central Plains. Although sometimes children who have lost their parents are raised together with children with healthy parents, most of the time they still live in a family of three or even three generations.

Some people from the other three races think they are selfish, but some children envy them.Young people who grew up like this naturally don't want their next generation to be like them.

Yan Wujiu softly read Mu Tianhe's name.

From this point of view, this person is indeed the most suspicious.

"Is this the same for public losers?"

Zhuge Xiao nodded with a little compassion: "But compared to the Mu family, the public losers are much gentler. The Mu family is a craftsman who digs tombs. They don't see the sun all the year round, and their personalities will become sharp and irritable. Even the members of the family The same is true of human nature. In addition, the elders of the Mu family always remember the things of their ancestors, and worry that the royal family will sacrifice the craftsmen who dig the tomb in order to keep the secret of the imperial tomb. They live very nervously."

The public losers make the blueprints of the organs, and they are logically connected to the Mu family. If they want to keep secrets, they will not be safe.However, the actual construction of such things as blueprints is very different. Once the blueprints are destroyed, even the original designer may not be able to remember some of the restoration.

"However, the patriarch of the public loser is not stubborn. Although he does not agree with changes, it does not prevent young people from having different ideas. The young patriarch is still his apprentice and he was trained by himself. There is no obvious difference between them. motive for murder."

Yan Wujiu was thoughtful: "So, Mu Tianhe is the breakthrough point, did you find out anything?"

Zhuge Xiao's expression became a little complicated: "After Mu Tianhe became the head of the Mu family, the Mu family began to change. The older generation in Fengzhuang complained about this. Not all young people support him, so he is in a bad situation. very good."

"But his position is very stable." Yan Wujiu raised his eyes, his eyes turned slightly, "Who is helping him?"

"Mu Tianhe and the patriarch of the Bai family have always been very close." Zhuge Xiao seemed a little embarrassed, "The Bai family and Xu Wang are very close, our investigation is fine, but directly suspecting Mu Tianhe, the attitude of the Bai family is very uncooperative The head of the Bai family almost represents the entire Fengzhuang. Moreover, because there are many taboos in the Fengzhuang, the progress of the case has been delayed, and Xu Wang has always had some criticisms. Seeing that the new mausoleum is ready, the sacrifice ceremony selected by the Feng family has been delayed up to eight At the beginning of the month."

Zhuge Xiao looked at Yan Wujiu worriedly: "If by the end of this month, the six gates can't solve the case, find the murderer who killed the two patriarchs, and find the lost key and secret order, the matter will get out of control."

If the accompanying mausoleum cannot be opened, other methods must be used. The use of any method will arouse the suspicion of the emperor, and it is very likely to bring bad luck to Fengzhuang.

Just imagine, before I lay down in the mausoleum, I saw that the accompanying mausoleum was blown up, stolen, and equipped with a new key, even if the dragon-breaking stone was not put down in the early stage.For the emperor, he would suspect that once he lay down, he would be dug out again in various ways.

Is this still available?

Yan Wujiu was puzzled: "The Mu family is so afraid of death, so they didn't expect the seriousness of this matter? They should be the ones who want the six doors to catch the murderer most urgently. Is it okay for Mu Tianhe to be so uncooperative?"

"Of course it has something to do with it." Zhuge Xiao sighed, "Someone wanted to kill Mu Tianhe. If it wasn't for the protection of the head of the Bai family, I'm afraid he would really die."

Yan Wujiu didn't understand even more: "If you don't solve the case, you won't be able to find the key and the secret order. King Xu won't spare Patriarch Bai, right?"

Zhuge Xiao nodded: "So, we suspect that the head of the Bai family may have other ways to open the accompanying tomb. He doesn't plan to go the way of the six doors. I don't know what the idea is at King Xu's, and he may be persuaded by him."

Yan Wujiu thought that when he reported this matter to Xu Wang yesterday, Xu Wang's attitude was ambiguous, as if he really wasn't in a hurry to solve the case.Just ask him to follow up on Gu Yuexi's case-solving progress.It looks like he has other plans, that's right.

But, is it really that simple?

What he didn't know, King Xu was really so generous and virtuous, he didn't hesitate to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor, and he also wanted to help the poor clans like Fengzhuang, so he wouldn't offend the old emperor and be convicted, and be silenced by the royal family?

When Yan Wujiu and Zhuge Xiao went to the Mu family's territory together, they could hear people shouting around the courtyard of the head of the Mu family from a distance.

"Mu Tianhe is not worthy to be the young patriarch, Mu Tianhe is the murderer who killed the old patriarch!"

"Relying on Bai Xiaofeng to protect you, you are going to kill my entire Mu clan!"

"Nie Chao, I shouldn't have brought him back in the first place..."

"Stop arguing, just talk about wronging the Tianhe patriarch at will, you know what the intentions are."

"Shut up, you little bastard, let me see if I don't beat you to death today..."

……

When they quarreled and fought, Yan Wujiu couldn't understand a sentence at all.

Seeing Yan Wujiu's cold and arrogant face, Su Jianqing just stood there and watched, and asked in a low voice: "My lord, do you want to be subordinate..."

"No need." Yan Wujiu said with boredom in his eyes, "How dare we, an outsider, intervene in the affairs of the family and let them fight."

Su Jianqing glanced at him, lowered her head and said yes.

There was a noisy group of people, including young and middle-aged people, but the group of people who obviously protected the courtyard were more young and energetic.

No matter who it is, they all seem to be holding back a mouthful of resentment, their skin is slightly pale, flushed and furious as if drinking alcohol, and their eyes are sharp.

Fighting and cursing like this, they were quickly pulled away by another group of people with calm and solemn faces.

"It's nothing to do with your Bai family, don't think that Bai Xiaofeng can cover the sky with one hand in this Fengzhuang..."

Soon, the crowd dispersed, and a taciturn young man came out.

The opponent wore a bluestone-like forehead band on his head, and his figure was stronger than the others.

Although his skin was also pale, as if he had been less exposed to the sun, his breath was very stable, neither impetuous anger nor suppressed hostility.His whole body is like a reliable mountain axe.

Seeing him, the shouting voices around disappeared, but there were still people shouting at Mu Tianhe, asking him to give an explanation.

Mu Tianhe looked at them calmly, with deep and firm eyes: "I'll just say this one last time, the old patriarch was not killed by me, he committed suicide. You can't trust the members of the Feng family, and the autopsy results of the six-door people are also the same. Why are you still Want to make a fuss?"

"But the key is missing. What do you say? The accompanying mausoleum can't be opened, what about our Mu family? You are the patriarch and you have the support of the Bai family, what about us ordinary craftsmen? Are we going to be buried and killed like our ancestors? "

"Yes, yes. You want to give us an explanation?"

"Don't trust him, everyone, find a chance to escape as soon as possible..."

Mu Tianhe suddenly looked at that person, his gaze was not sharp, and did not make people feel dangerous, but it also prevented the person being watched from looking at each other calmly.

"Now you are encouraging everyone to abandon the construction period and escape, and you are sending the Mu family to a dead end. Since I, Mu Tianhe, am the patriarch, I will definitely live for the Mu family. As long as I live for a day, I will never cause trouble to the Mu family. "

Mu Tianhe looked around at everyone around him, he raised his hand: "Mu Tianhe is worthy of the heaven and earth of his ancestors, what he did, the gods and spirits will learn from each other. If the Mu family is defeated because of me, let me go to the eighteenth level of hell, reborn as an animal, and live forever. Not to be overborn."

The surroundings gasped for a while, in Fengzhuang, everyone believed in reincarnation very much, his oath was undoubtedly extremely serious.

Those troublemakers looked a little embarrassed, and lowered their heads.

"Everyone, please go back and do your own thing. This matter will be resolved in a few days."

"Clan Chief Tianhe... you guys are really deceiving people..."

Zhuge Xiao sighed slightly: "Such a person doesn't look like a criminal at all."

Su Jianqing and the Crow Feather Guards behind him couldn't help but also nodded.

Yan Wujiu withdrew his gaze towards the center of the conflict, looked at Zhuge Xiao, and said flatly, "Go and see the scene of the crime."

The people from Six Doors questioned all the insiders countless times, even if Yan Wujiu asked again, he would not know more, but he had never seen the crime scene.

The house of the old patriarch of the Mu family is in the back mountain, where the sun is open.

The room where the crime took place is the place that the old patriarch uses the most in his daily life.

There are three walls, standing in the room facing the door, the right wall is connected to a secret room, and behind the left wall is his bedroom.

Out of the door is a hall.

Everyone was in the hall that day, saying something and waiting for the old patriarch to come out after burning incense, while the cook was cooking in the kitchen in front of the house.

Yan Wujiu looked at the only window on the wall opposite to the door.

"It's a wooden window, covered with glazed paper. It is said that they checked it immediately, and there is no trace of damage. Even if the whole window is removed, it is only big enough for a child under the age of ten to come in and out." Zhuge Xiao explained.

Yan Wujiu withdrew his gaze and looked at the place where the old patriarch died.

There was a paper dummy with a cinnabar red pen painted on its neck.

"Because when we took over the case, half a month had passed, and we could barely use foreign objects to simulate the scene."

Yan Wujiu asked: "I just heard them say that the autopsy result was suicide?"

Zhuge Xiao nodded: "The autopsy in Fengzhuang was performed by the priest of the Feng family, and the conclusion was suicide. The test results of the six doors are also true. If it is not related to the later things, the case will usually be closed as suicide. Mr. Gu said that even if it is Suicide can also be divided into whether the deceased committed suicide by himself or was controlled and threatened to commit suicide. Therefore, we are still investigating homicide.”

He paused and added: "The same goes for public losers."

Yan Wujiu looked at him, his eyes seemed to be disheartened, uninterested, and he said calmly: "Is it because of the missing key? I don't understand a little bit. It so happens that the key and the password are gone. The person in charge of keeping He also committed suicide in a bizarre way. Why haven't you thought about it, the purpose of the murderer is simply not to want to accompany the mausoleum to be opened?"

Zhuge Xiao looked at him gently, a little helpless, with clear eyes indifferently, and looked at him quietly: "In this world, there are too many ways to open the accompanying tomb. Stealing the key and the secret code cannot essentially prevent this. If something happens, we can only change the way the tomb is opened. Except for the Mu family and the public losers who will be afraid, the tomb is opened in other ways, no one will care about this."

no one?

Yan Wujiu said thoughtfully: "That's true. But, the person who should be most afraid of losing the key and secret order, lost the key and committed suicide. It's really strange. It's not someone who wants to destroy these two things. Clansmen, but deliberately set up such a situation."

Zhuge Xiao shook his head: "The first incident occurred on May [-]th. The people who sealed the village at that time probably didn't know that His Majesty would change his mind and ask to open the accompanying mausoleum to rebury the deposed prince. Therefore, it should be just a coincidence."

Yan Wujiu smiled, "It's a coincidence."

Although the imperial decree came three days later, it was impossible for the emperor to change his mind instantly, but a process.

The person who knew what the emperor was thinking, who could predict what decision he would make in advance, and even induce him to make this decision, could only be someone in the harem.

If this is the case, the other party's supernatural powers should not only be for the purpose of harming the two clans that sealed the village.

Yan Wujiu intuitively felt that there was a problem, but he didn't know where the problem was.

What he can think of, the gods of the six doors can't think of it. What they said, that the companion tomb can be opened without secret orders and keys, is also correct.

Yan Wujiu looked at Zhuge Xiao, with a little interest in his eyes: "I'm so curious, what new method did the Bai family think of to open the tomb?"

Zhuge Xiao forced a smile, with a pitiful expression on his face: "I hope it will be a good ending, and these craftsmen will not be asked to repeat the tragedy of their ancestors."

Su Jianqing and Yayuwei also nodded slightly, feeling a little bit embarrassed.

Only Yan Wujiu is heartless, he doesn't seem to have any compassion by nature.

He was thinking that no matter what plans Bai Xiaofeng, the patriarch of the Bai family, had, King Xu should be nodding.If he went back and asked Xu Wang how to speak, the other party would be willing to tell him.

After that, they met Mu Tianhe.

Mu Tianhe was a little tired, and expressed his gratitude to them for investigating the case during this time.But it also implied that the old patriarch committed suicide after losing the key and was ashamed of the clan.They don't want to investigate any further, so let's close the case with suicide.

Yan Wujiu looked at him curiously: "You really didn't look for the key anymore?"

Mu Tianhe looked at him without speaking.

Yan Wujiu leaned forward slightly, and asked him a question in a low voice: "Did you ever think at that time that after you find out that you have lost the key, you should quietly build a new one? Find a scapegoat and say you found it?"

Mu Tianhe's eyes changed slightly, and he looked at him with a little fear.

He had just listened to everyone's introduction and knew that this person was the leader of King Xu's Human Crow Feather Guard, and he was not in the same group as the Six Doors.

In essence, Xu Wang is responsible for this matter, and the talents on Xu Wang's side are the key.

This strange young man in front of him was dressed in black clothes that looked like brocade clothes, with a melting smile, bright and innocent eyes, mad and dangerous.

Just like the poisonous flowers encountered in the deep mountains, they are gorgeous and beautiful but poisonous and deadly.

"I don't know what Lord Yan is talking about. If there is nothing else, please forgive Tianhe to accompany you."

"Our patriarch hasn't had a good rest for a long time, and those people make trouble day and night." The young man next to him helped to explain, maybe Yan Wujiu's brows were sharp and arrogant, so he spoke a little cowardly and pitifully, as if he was afraid that he would get angry convict.

Yan Wujiu glanced at the young man, smiled and blinked: "Then take your leave, the Tianhe patriarch has a good rest."

They left the Mu family's territory, and then went to the public loser.

The public losers lamented the death of the old patriarch, but not many people were dissatisfied with the new patriarch.

The only thing is that many people seem to agree that the old patriarch Gongshu committed suicide because of the death of the old patriarch Mu and remembered the secret order he kept.

After walking around like this, most of the day passed.

Yan Wujiu looked at Zhuge Xiao: "It's almost there, thank you Brother Dongfang. I'll treat you to dinner, so let's go to this restaurant."

As he said that, he didn't seem to think that anyone would reject him, so he walked straight in.

Zhuge Xiao was startled on the spot, Su Jianqing coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "My lord is used to following one's whims, don't blame Mr. Dongfang."

"How come? We have known each other since Qingyuan County."

Su Jianqing showed a little dimple with a smile, and motioned to him: "Please."

Zhuge Xiao walked in, and then Su Jianqing and Yayuwei entered in a file.

Yan Wujiu has already picked a seat by the window and is ordering food.

Rather than a treat, he seemed more like he wanted to eat, and brought others with him along the way.

Yan Wujiu didn't raise his eyebrows: "Su Jianqing sit down too."

Su Jianqing paused: "My lord..."

"If you feel uncomfortable, you can also sit with other people." Yan Wujiu said lightly, not seeming to care.

"Thank you, sir." Su Jianqing sat down immediately.

Zhuge Xiao glanced at him, ordered a pot of tea, and chatted with Yan Wujiu about the customs of Fengzhuang.

This meal lasted for a while, and after the meal, they parted ways.

Zhuge Xiao went back to Gu Yuexi.

Gu Yuexi was annotating something, and when he saw him coming back, she asked lightly, "How is it?"

Zhuge Xiao sat on a chair beside him, relaxed slightly and closed his eyes: "I told him about the grievances of the Mu clan, and about Mu Tianhe's suspicion. But today we met Mu Tianhe, and he seemed to be doing his best for the Mu clan. , It seems that there is no hatred. I don't know what Yan Qing said to Mu Tianhe, Mu Tianhe's face changed a little."

"Didn't he tell you?"

"He just said it as a joke. It may be like this. Yan Qingdu is not acting according to common sense, and ordinary people seldom change their faces when dealing with him for the first time." Zhuge Xiao opened his eyes and smiled, "By the way, I mentioned to him that the Bai family seemed to want to use other methods to open the matter of accompanying the mausoleum, and with his personality, he would definitely ask King Xu. I don’t know what he found, and he seemed to suspect that someone didn’t want the accompanying mausoleum to be opened.”

Gu Yuexi stopped writing, with a calm expression: "The key to the case of closing the village lies in accompanying the mausoleum. Xu Wang has always been ambiguous about the opening of the accompanying tomb. Behind the Bai family is Xu Wang. Xu Wang also called Yan Qing to intervene The case has been solved. If Yan Qing knows that we doubt King Xu, King Xu will know too."

Zhuge Xiao looked at him and nodded: "I know, so, I immediately tried to dispel his thoughts, and told him that the accompanying tomb can be opened without the key and secret order, and only the Mu family and the public loser would care about this." Do your best to lure him to the internal grievances between Fengzhuang and the Mu clan. But, you know, he is not easy to deceive. I don't know what he will think."

Gu Yuexi didn't seem worried, he continued to write, with a calm expression on his face: "In this case, some people should keep an eye on Yan Qingdu and Bai Xiaofeng. If Xu Wang makes any movement, these two people will definitely move."

Zhuge Xiao responded, got up and left.

At this time, it was already half past unitary hour.

Fengzhuang at dusk is extremely beautiful. On the [-]th of July, pagoda trees are in full bloom everywhere in Fengzhuang.

A variety of locust trees.Some flowers have already fallen, and the ground is withered and yellow.Some flowers bloom to the last crop.Some are just budding.

Yan Wujiu came up from the foot of the mountain, walked back to the palace, and looked back.

Fen Lian has not returned yet.The people from Six Doors did not ask him about burning lotus today.

Yan Wujiu didn't think much, and walked into the palace.

As soon as he came back, someone came to send a message that King Xu summoned him.

Yan Wujiu waited at Xu Wang's place for half an hour, but he didn't wait for Xu Wang's summon, but he waited for Su Jianqing's news.

At the moment of Xu Shi, when the sun was setting and the moon was rising, a mysterious assassin attacked the people at the six doors.

The people of the six doors offended all the desperadoes of the underworld. It is normal for someone to assassinate, but the one who was assassinated was a clerk who was not good at martial arts.

Yan Wujiu's eyebrows darkened slightly: "The one who was attacked was Dongfang Xiao?"

Su Jianqing lowered her head: "There is a sentence left on the scene: the moon is dark and the wind is high, be careful."

The author has something to say: If you cheat and tweet, you will be punished——to Mr. a certain document~

Mr. a certain clerk: If there are too many people, they will also encourage each other with Jiujiu.
