Chapter 295
Fu Jiuqu walked to the window and stood with his hands behind his back.

A thin light cast on his face, flickering and cool.

Xin Yi approached and stood side by side with him, looking out the window, he could see the green brick wall not far away hidden in the flowers and trees.

Drinking summer in the courtyard, Jiaoying makes the sun clear, it is very beautiful.

Xin Yi asked: "Has Wu Zuo found out that they committed suicide?"

Fu Jiuqu hummed lightly, showing no emotion.

Xin Yi looked sideways, "Ninth Brother, don't you think something is wrong?"

Fu Jiuqu pondered for a while, "That's also about Yuezhou's affairs, you and me who pass by, it's better not to interfere..."

"No." There was a knowing smile in Xin Yi's dark eyes, "Brother Jiu won't ignore it. You're lying to me."

Fu Jiuqu turned his head, "Why should I lie to you?"

Xin Yi pursed his lips, folded his arms lazily, and leaned in front of him, "You didn't sincerely keep me here, so don't plan to tell me the truth, and plan to find another chance to send me away."

Fu Jiuqu laughed softly.

"how you said that?"

Xin Yi slender eyebrows moved slightly, "First, when you learned that General Zhao was in trouble, you came to help. Now that several adults have died, and the case is even more complicated and confusing, how could you let it go? With Brother Nine's shrewdness, how could he turn a blind eye to the murder case?"

Fu Jiuqu narrowed his handsome eyes and looked at her for a long time, then asked with a half-smile:

"How do you know it's related to Monk Mi Tuo?"

Xin Yi said: "If Si Li joined the army, if he really asked for the half-immortal talisman paper, and the talisman paper happened to be fed by Mi Tuo, does Brother Jiu think that the two have nothing to do with each other? Also, the adults who died were all assisting Zhizhou I don’t believe that you, an old fox, would stand by and watch such a sensitive job as the officer in charge of the prison.”

Fu Jiuqu sighed secretly, "If Eleven is a man, it's more than enough to be a prisoner."

Xin Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly: "I'm praising me for being Brother Ninth?"

Fu Jiuqu: "Don't dare not boast."

snort!Xin Yi stepped forward to take his hand, and smiled on his back, "Then Brother Nine, take me with you. Look, I am a prisoner, a life-saving doctor, and a sweet and salty beauty." Mother. Three identities in one body, alas, why does Brother Jiu take all the good things in this world?"

Fu Jiuqu pinched her face, "There is another identity."

"What?" Xin Yi looked at him hopefully.

Fu Jiuqu's eyes narrowed, looking strangely beautiful and cramped.

"family."

~

That afternoon, Xin Yi met one of the adults who drank at the same table last night, Mr. Xingcao, Lin Yu.

And his Lu family.

Lin Yu's body was being coffined. Two servant-like men were standing by the bedside, dressing him in a shroud. The mourning hall was set up, the coffin was already in place, and even the mourning guests had arrived.

Xin Yi followed Fu Jiuqu to pay homage to Master Xingcao's last remains.

There are obvious strangle marks on the neck, which is consistent with the characteristics of hanging from a hanging beam.In addition, Lin Yu's skin turned yellow visible to the naked eye, which was exactly the same as acute lead poisoning, and Xin Yi once again suspected Mi Tuoseng.

Lu said bitterly that her husband would not commit suicide.

"My master has been looking forward to his son for most of his life, and Yao'er is not yet one year old, how can he be willing to leave our mother?"

Xin Yi took out the yellow talisman paper and asked her.

"Have you ever seen this?"

Lu Shi was stunned, looked at Xin Yi, and then at Fu Jiuqu, his face flushed.

"This, where did you get this? Didn't you put it in the water and swallow it?"

Xin Yi and Fu Jiuqu looked at each other, invited Lu Shi to the side room, and retreated.

"I also ask my wife to tell you what happened last night slowly."

It took Lu Shi a long time to clarify her family affairs with Xing Cao.

Leaving those things aside, there is only one core point: Lin Yu has been having nightmares recently, often waking up in the middle of the night.It happened that a half-immortal came to the door, saying that he was guided by heaven to ward off disasters for him, and gave him three magic talismans, and told him to hang the talismans on the bedside to ward off evil spirits.If it does not heal for a long time, or in an emergency, you can take Fuhuashui, one dose a day, and you will be cured in three days.

"I'm dubious about this too. How dare you fool him with something of unknown origin? It's just that when I came back from the banquet at the residence of the regiment training envoy last night, my master was so out of his mind that he melted the three magic talismans into water. down."

Xin Yi asked: "After taking it, is there any abnormality in him?"

Lu Shi shook his head, then thought about it, and nodded again.

"It was fine at first, but in the middle of the night, he suddenly complained of abdominal pain and nausea, and wanted to get up to go to the toilet. I wanted to accompany him, but he scolded me for a while..."

Lu Shi wiped the corners of his eyes aggrievedly.

"I argued with him for a few words, and the master flew into a rage, slammed the door and went to the guest room alone."

Xin Yi asked her again: "When did Mrs. Lu find out that Mr. Xingcao hanged himself?"

Lu Shi said: "I also didn't have a good sleep all night. The sky was bright, so I went to knock on the door. The master didn't answer. I thought he was still angry with me, so I went to the stove and wanted to cook porridge for him... When it was time to eat, the master still couldn't scream, so I panicked, and asked someone to remove the door panel, and went in to have a look. My family official...had hung his neck on the beam, and a mosquito net ended his life. !"

As Lu Shi spoke, he burst into tears again, beating his feet and chest, and kept blaming himself.

Facing a woman whose husband had just died, Xin Yi and Fu Jiuqu said nothing more, exchanged glances, and left.

The courtyard was full of servants coming and going, making funeral arrangements in full swing.

Xin Yi sighed suddenly, "The banquets are all ready, would it be too much to arrest people if they don't eat?"

Fu Jiuqu snorted, "What do you think?"

"Catch it." Xin Yi looked up at him, "Who told her not to invite us?"

~

Lu Shi was arrested.

A Mrs. Xingcao, who didn't go out of the door and didn't go out, was suddenly invited to the Yamen by the official, which shocked all the guests at home.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law secretly speculated, some said that Mrs. Lu stole someone and poisoned Lin Yu to death, and some said that she and her adulterer worked together to hang Lin Yu to death on the beam.

There was a lot of hustle and bustle inside and outside, and rumors spread everywhere, but it didn't delay people's enthusiastic feasting.

The government did not give any explanation for this, only saying that the government will issue an announcement after the case is closed.

~

After leaving Lu Mansion, Fu Jiuqu did not go to Yuezhou Yamen, but took Xin Yi to visit Yueyang Tower.

The sun was scorching, and Sun Huai followed behind with a silk umbrella. He wanted to come up to cover his wife from the cold, but Fu Jiuqu took it slowly.

"I come."

Sun Huai's two rows of tooth sockets were almost broken.

What a blessing this little lady Zhang is.

The Guangling County King actually held an umbrella for her personally?

After getting into the carriage, Xin Yi was silent for a long time before saying, "Mr. Lu still has a couple of children, right?"

Fu Jiu hummed.

Xin Yi raised his eyes, "Although Mrs. Lu is full of lies, if she tells the truth, she probably won't sit still, right? A crime committed by one person shouldn't harm his wife and children."

Fu Jiuqu held her hand expressionlessly, "I'm not a lawyer, I won't try this case."

Xin Yi was startled, and sighed secretly.

~

The records of Yueyang Tower go as far as the Eastern Han Dynasty, but the name comes from Li Bai.The great poet was pardoned on the way to exile, climbed up to this building, and left behind a poem of "the view of the building and the Yueyang are exhausted, and the Sichuan and Dongting open", so it got its name.

The two stepped up.

Looking at the glazed tiles, the hexagonal pavilion, overlooking the Dongting, and looking at Junshan, Xin Yi couldn't help but think of the time when he was in college, and the scene of visiting Yueyang Tower with his good classmates, and he couldn't help sighing.

"It's like a thousand years of smoke, but it's just an instant."

Fu Jiuqu looked sideways: "Eleventh Sister is always free and easy, how could she suddenly feel emotional?"

Xin Yi smiled and shook his head, "It's hard to tell."

A soul 900 years later may not necessarily feel the same to others.

Afraid that Fu Jiuqu would ask something, Xin Yi trotted a few steps and walked in front, his whole body falling into the scorching sun.

"Has brother Jiu been here before?"

Fu Jiuqu approached her with an umbrella, and instead of answering her question, he asked back.

"Eleven seems to be very familiar with Yueyang Tower?"

Xin Yi was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "I've heard about the world's famous buildings for a long time."

Fu Jiuqu pursed his lips and smiled, half-closed his beautiful eyes to look at the corner of the cornice, and finally his eyes fell on the face of the little lady who was looking at the corner of the cornice.

"Eleven speaks with a Kaifeng accent. Before marrying into Zhang's family, she lived with the matchmaker for several years. The matchmaker said that you are an orphan whose parents both died, and she had some affection for her, so she wanted to find a good family for you... "

Xin Yi stopped.

Fu Jiuqu put the umbrella on top of her head, stretched out his hand to smooth her drooping messy hair, and said indifferently: "The matchmaker only took ten coins from Mrs. Liu, and then married you. It's not so much a marriage as a marriage." Sell."

Xin Yi pursed her lips, "Have you investigated me?"

Fu Jiuqu didn't deny it, and said calmly: "The matchmaker once said that when Ren Yazi sold you to her, you were only nine years old. Because you were too young, you couldn't do work, and you had to eat, so you only got two pieces of money."

Xin Yiquan frowned, facing Fu Jiuqu.

"Why did Brother Jiu suddenly mention this?"

Fu Jiuqu stared at her, his eyes seemed to be reflected in the water of the cave, as quiet as a mirror, "You have too many secrets that no one knows about you."

Xin Yi's heart skipped a beat.

Immediately, he laughed out loud, "To tell you the truth, I am not a mortal."

Fu Jiuqu also laughed along with her, "Where did that fairy come from?"

Do you really believe it?
Xin Yi suppressed his smile, looked at his serious face, paused, and took his hand, "Brother Jiu, what's wrong with you? I'm teasing you. Don't be so serious, it's scary."

Fu Jiuqu's arm holding the umbrella remained motionless, his eyes darkened, "I want to hear the truth."

Xin Yi looked at him silently, his mind was overwhelmed.

There was silence all around.

The two looked at each other calmly, only the sound of the wind in their ears.

The shadow of the silk umbrella fell on Xin Yi's face, she licked her lips, thinking of the words she was about to say, the blood in her whole body seemed to boil.

"Does Brother Jiu know why I must go to Yongzhou with you?"

Fu Jiuqu: "It's not because you are worried about me?"

Xin Yi shook his head, seeing his face change slightly, nodded slightly, then tightened his hand, a pair of eyes seemed to travel through 900 years, looking at him complicatedly and far away.

"I had a bizarre nightmare."
