Yu Wu

Murong Lian rushed over in a hurry, but Jun Shang was not nervous.

While teasing the two golden beasts beside the charcoal basin, he listened to them sing praises to him, such as "Your Majesty is handsome and unrestrained", "Your Majesty is handsome and graceful", while casually comforting Murong Lian a few times. In other words, let him concentrate on closing the case and don't worry about anything else.

"Wangcheng is heavily guarded. Even if Gu Mang really colluded with that cook, what can he do? Can he turn the world upside down?"

Murong Lian anxiously said: "Your Majesty, you must not be careless, this is a matter of dereliction of duty, if your Majesty makes a mistake..."

Your Majesty put down the golden incense chopsticks that were playing with the incense: "Okay, Gu doesn't know you yet? The man escaped from your other garden. You are so anxious that you are afraid that Gu will be angry and be held accountable."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Murong Lian with a half-smile, "Ah Lian, you are Gu's blood brother, just relax, how could Gu offend you for this kind of thing."

After the king ascended the throne, he would call his brothers and sisters by their official titles as usual, but in private, he would occasionally call Murong Lian Ah Lian.

Especially when it is necessary to comfort people's hearts, it is natural to reflect the intimacy of blood relatives.

"As for Gu Mang, if you're really worried, I'll lock him up in a dungeon. I guess he won't be able to fly even with wings."

Murong Lian reluctantly settled his mind, agreed, and then asked: "Your Majesty, if the case requires it later, can Rong Chen go for interrogation?"

"You interrogate, what can't be interrogated."

"The minister's torture—"

Your Majesty glanced at him, smiled, and snorted again: "Everyone says that iron and blood are harmonious, and cruel officials are hopeful. This statement is true. You can't pry the truth out of other people's mouths without punishment, right?" Bar?"

Murong Lian coughed lightly: "Then Gu Mang is not an ordinary person after all."

"Okay, you can interrogate as you want, and be careful. Gu Wang Xi and Jun still have some obsessions with him. The two of you are bickering in the palace. It's fun to fight once, but it's annoying to fight the second time." .”

Jun Shang played with the jade beads in his hand, and said indifferently, "Make sure of yourself, don't let Gu see him participate in your book because of this matter."

After finishing speaking, he rolled his eyes: "One is an important minister of the military aircraft, and the other is a hereditary prince. In order to avenge a personal revenge, he made a three-year-old child grab a toy. I really can't see it."

Murong Lian: "..."

As the sun rises in the east and the dawn breaks through the darkness, the townspeople wake up and go out one after another, chatting and chatting.The bloody case that happened in Hongyan Tower last night was quickly leaked out, and quickly spread throughout the royal city, becoming the hottest topic of conversation among the people of the imperial capital after dinner.

For a while, everyone from the elderly to the young children can tell some truths when they get together.

"In just one night, almost everyone in the building died, what a tragedy!"

"Oh, oh! My God! Has the murderer been caught?"

"I ran away early! Before I ran away, I even wrote a poem on the wall, which said 'Easy to get a thousand gold priceless treasure, hard to find a seven-time man'!"

"How come the version I heard is 'I am lonely, accepting wives and concubines sincerely'?"

"Uh... who knows, anyway, Hongyan Building has been heavily blocked now, and no one can get in except the investigators of the case. But let me tell you, whether it is 'Easy to get a thousand gold and a priceless treasure, it is hard to find a one night seven Jiro', or 'I'm lonely, accepting wives and concubines', it sounds like a case of robbing sex but not robbing money."

"Could it be a flower picker with a murderous habit?"

The more it spread, the more mysterious it became, and in the end, a storyteller actually broke out such a statement-"The red face building is too turbid, and I have provoked a lecherous ghost, who ran into the building on the dark night of the moon and killed people. Hehe, men, kill first and then rape! Women, rape first and then kill! That ghost was extremely brave, raped and killed more than [-] people in Hongyanlou in one night, and was so cold-hearted that he didn't even let Elder Yu, who was over fifty years old, be spared !"

All the tea guests were dumbfounded.

"It's so insane."

One of the tea guests couldn't help laughing out loud: "Hahahaha!!!"

"Young Master Yue? What's wrong with you?"

"Hahahahaha!" The person who laughed so hard was the idle Yue Chenqing, he said happily, "After listening to so many versions, yours is still the funniest, raped and killed more than [-] people in one night, big brother, who picked flowers?" The thief is probably not brave, but premature ejaculation, hahaha!!"

The shocking atmosphere was disrupted by him in an instant. People laughed and shook their heads, and even the girls covered their mouths and laughed secretly.The storyteller was so embarrassed, but the other party was the young master of the Yue family, so he couldn't chase the guests and get angry, so he could only smile and say: "Yes, yes, what Young Master Yue said is true."

Therefore, the play "The Flower Picker's Mighty, Night Guards the Seventy People" was adapted by Yue Chenqing into "The Flower Picker's Premature Ejaculation, Killing the Brothel Guest in Anger".

Those in the city who were not in the mood to listen to such discussions were probably the relatives and friends of the guests who were murdered, the imperial guards who were too busy, the people at Shennongtai, and the two gods, Xi and Wangshu.

Inside Wangshu Mansion, a follower bowed his head and said:

"My lord. The servant from Luomei Bieyuan you want to mention is here."

Murong Lian had just finished smoking two cans of Floating Life Like a Dream, and he was full of energy, and said, "Okay, let him in."

The servant hurriedly entered the hall, knelt down and reported to Murong Lian, "I have seen the Lord Wangshu, the Lord Wanan—"

"That's enough, stop talking nonsense, let me ask you, do you live in the same room as that runaway cook?"

"Yes."

"Come on, tell me, what kind of virtue does that cook usually have."

The servant said: "Uh... that cook was sent to the other garden in five years. He doesn't like to talk on weekdays, he's a little wretched, and he always walks alone."

Murong Lian asked: "Has this person had any grudges with brothel girls in the past?"

"There is no grudge." The servant replied, "But I heard that he was very lecherous when he was in Liao Kingdom. When he saw a beautiful girl, he wanted to take it for himself. It is said that he even slept with the wife of his sworn brother."

"..." Murong Lian sighed, "He's a pervert."

While sighing like this, he thought, maybe the folk saying is right, that cook might be a lecherous flower picker with some kind of perverted habit.Otherwise, why did he keep those five women by his side?

Murong Lian asked again: "Where is he and Gu Mang? Are there any contacts?"

"It seems that there is no personal relationship at all."

"..." Murong Lian pondered for a while, then said, "I see, you go down."

After the servant retreated, Murong Lian said to his followers:

"Bring me the warmest silver fox fur robe, I'm going to the prison to interrogate Gu Mang."

If it is said that Murong Lian's side is focused on "trial", Mo Xi's side is completely focused on "investigation".

He is investigating various details of the case.

The case of Hongyanlou is really too strange - if it is a ghost, how can I inscription it?If it's a living person, why bother digging out the heart?

So Mo Xi ordered Shennongtai to continue to carefully examine the wounds of the deceased, and should be able to find out some clues.

Sure enough, after checking one by one, the medicine cultivators found some traces of sword wounds that had been covered up.But those traces were really unexpected, and even made the whole case more complicated and confusing.

"What's different about the wound?"

"..." That Yaoxiu hesitated, and said three words, "Duan Shui Jian."

Mo Xi raised his head suddenly: "Sword of Broken Water, Li Qingqian?"

"Exactly."

Mo Xi murmured: "...How is it possible..."

Li Qingqian, the master of swordsmanship, is a monk from Li Chunguo.

He comes from a poor family and has a kind heart. He traveled all over the world for more than ten years and killed countless evil spirits. However, he is too simple. Many times he was the one who risked his life to ward off evil for everyone, but in the end he was always caught by a monk with ulterior motives. Taking the credit, so for more than ten years since his debut, he has been unknown and his life has been very difficult.

Until that year, he fought the "Woman Crying Mountain" battle.

The Female Crying Mountain is located in the territory of the Liao Kingdom, and its original name was Fengyu Mountain. However, the army of the Liao Kingdom brought a group of women from nowhere, hundreds of them, all wearing bright red wedding dresses, and buried alive in the this.

The explanation of Liao Guoguo's national teacher is "Looking at the sky at night, the mountain gods here need to sacrifice."

After those women were buried with hatred, their resentment lingered in the sky. Many casual cultivators went to suppress them, and they all died at the hands of female ghosts. Therefore, Fengyu Mountain was feared by the surrounding villagers as "Women's Crying Mountain".

"A girl marries a mountain, mourns at night, first hates the body of duckweed, second hates the poor beauty, third hates being wrong with Lang Yongshi.

The red beard, the golden crown, with one smile she looks miserable, the second smile sheds blood and tears, the third smile the passer-by cannot leave. "

It is said that countless beauties and bones are buried alive on this mountain. If you want to take this mountain, it must be at the time of the heaviest yang energy in a day, and there must be no children, women, patients, or old people in the team, otherwise hundreds of female ghosts in the mountain will be seduced. Injustice - As long as three laughs are heard from behind, the female ghost will appear, and all passers-by will die in the mountains.

After Li Qingqian heard about this, he came to Nvkui Mountain to suppress ghosts. Although he had punished countless evil spirits at that time, because he was never good at managing his reputation, not many people knew him.

The local government saw that he was a young man with patches on his clothes, so he couldn't bear it and said to him: "Although the bounty is high, there are hundreds of female ghosts on the mountain. It's better to save your life, don't take risks."

But Li Qingqian only said that he was not looking for money, and then he went up the mountain alone with a sword.

It took three days to go there, and when everyone lamented that another monk had died in the mountain, hundreds of women's mournful wailing suddenly came from the Female Crying Mountain. Bise Huaguang——

"The sword technique of Duan Shui can penetrate the heavens and the earth, and break through the heavens with grief."

These are the words that people sighed when they talked about that sword later.

It is gold that always shines. After being buried for so long, Li Qingqian finally became famous.Until now, countless storytellers are still keen to talk about his youthful character in those days—the blue commoner clothes fluttering, holding a sword in one hand and a soul-hunting lamp in the other, floating down the mountain road.

What's even more rare is that in this battle, Li Qingqian locked up the souls of hundreds of ghosts. These souls are the best for refining weapons. If they are sold to the refining masters, they will not worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

But Li Qingqian couldn't bear it.

"They are all girls from a poor family. At such a young age, they were buried alive on the mountain and turned into ghosts to hurt people. It was not their intention. If they are made into magic weapons, they will never be reborn forever. It is too much cruel."

So he decided to go to the fairy island in the East China Sea, which is full of aura, to save the souls of these hundreds of girls. He knew that they had too much grievance and there were too many people, and it might take more than ten years to complete their consummation.So before leaving, he gave his "Duan Shui Sword Manual" to his young brother, and told him to practice diligently, and rely on this sword technique in the future to do as much as he can.

He just disappeared into the vast world.

Yaoxiu of Shennongtai said cautiously: "Although Master Li has a high righteous name, these corpses are indeed traces of Duan Shui sword, so could it be that the rumors are untrue?"

"Impossible." Mo Xi closed his eyes and said, "Before Li Qingqian became famous, I had the honor to meet him once. He is indeed a righteous person, and he would never do such a despicable thing."

"Could it be his brother?"

Mo Xi shook his head: "The Duan Shui sword is very difficult to cultivate, it cannot be used without ten or twenty years of hard work, and it is only a few years since Li Houde took over his brother's sword manual, the time is not right."

After Shennongtai's medical repair report was completed, Mo Xi sat in the courtyard with his eyes closed and his eyebrows frowned, thinking carefully about the connection between these few things.

Li Wei asked curiously from the side: "My lord, people are saying that this thief is a flower picker. Because of some weird habit, he killed most of the people in the building, but left five beautiful women to take away." .Don't you see it that way?"

"He is not."

Li Wei didn't expect Mo Xi to directly deny the hottest speculation at the moment, and was taken aback: "Why, why?"

Mo Xi unfolded a spiritual power jade scroll on the table, and the names and appearances of the people who died in this incident and the five missing people immediately appeared on it.

"Look at this."

Li Wei leaned over and looked at it carefully for a long time, but he didn't see anything wrong, so he dog-leggedly replied: "This subordinate is dull and can't see through the secrets."

"..."

Mo Xi said: "Among all the people, you pick the five with the best looks."

This kind of thing of giving others small points and rankings, Li Wei likes to do it the most, so he quickly ordered a few beauties from the brothel: "This, this... eh, no, this one is not as good-looking as the one next to it..."

She happily chose, and suddenly heard Mr. Xi He asked next to her: "Did you notice that among the people you selected, none of them were the girls taken away by the 'flower picker'?"

"Ah..." Li Wei was taken aback for a moment, then opened his eyes wide to look, "It really is..."

"I don't want the oirans in the brothel, so many good-looking singers have been decapitated, but these five are kept alone." Mo Xi looked at the small portrait on the jade scroll, folded his arms, as if he was talking to Li Wei Explaining, it seemed that he fell into deep thought again while talking.

"He didn't do it for sex."

"..."

"I'm lonely, it's probably not his sincerity to accept a wife and concubine."

Just at this moment, a servant from Xihe Mansion suddenly ran over and hurriedly said, "My lord, my lord—"

"What's wrong." Mo Xi turned his head and frowned, "What happened again?"

"You let the little Lizi in the dungeon keep an eye on Gu Mang's movements. Just now, little Lizi sent a message saying that Mr. Wang Shu suspected that Gu Mang had something to do with the murderer of the Hongyanlou murder case, so, so..."

Mo Xi's expression changed immediately: "So what?"

"So he interrogated Gu Mang alone. In the cold room, there was no room, no windows, and Xiao Lizi didn't know anything about his condition, and he didn't dare to alarm you rashly. He waited until Mr. Wang Shu came out... the result depends. Until...Gu Mang has...he has..."

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, mustered up the courage to continue.

But Mo Xi couldn't wait for him to finish speaking, he had already thrown down the jade scroll, and ran towards the prison in Wangcheng without looking back.
