The rich and noble peasant daughter

Chapter 314
Knowing her reaction, Lu Yiran said, "Just do me this favor!"

"I asked someone to come and see, and they all said that this child must be a daughter. When she is born, she and Zhuzhu can just become sisters."

Seeing her beaming face, Yun Xi seriously doubted whether it was a man, so she would not give birth.

Seeing that she didn't intend to talk about the father of the child, Yun Xi didn't ask.Although she once suspected Su Muzhe, but based on the month, Su Muzhe should have gone back.It's really possible that Lu Yiran raped a handsome boy casually, and had this child after a spring breeze.

Yun Xi didn't think there was anything wrong with this approach, as long as that person was not married and would not interfere with other people's families, then she was free to do whatever she wanted.

"Does your mother know about this?"

Lu Yiran rolled her eyes, "How could I hide it from my mother?"

Yun Xi said: "It's better to say that you plan to take your female army to field training."

Lu Yiran said: "In this way, I will definitely appear in front of people every now and then, which is not appropriate."

Yun Xi said: "Then let's say which handsome knight-errant you have taken a fancy to and plan to chase him back."

Well, and then chase to the ends of the earth.Yun Xi can guarantee that no one will doubt this reason.

Lu Yiran sighed: "My eyesight is so high, after seeing colors like Su Muzhe and Gu Huaizhun, how can ordinary beauty make me fall in love?"

The corner of Yun Xi's mouth twitched, this was indeed the point.Seeing that her friend could casually mention Su Muzhe's name, she thought she had let go a lot.

Yun Xi was about to say something when Yin Dan came over suddenly and said, "Girl, Cheng Shaoxia is here."

Yun Xi was startled, "Cheng Zhou?" Speaking of which, she and Cheng Zhou hadn't seen each other for at least five or six years, and they only exchanged letters occasionally.Yu Yunshen is a big jealousy, basically their letters Yun Xi will let her husband read them.

Over the years, Cheng Zhou has also gained a great reputation in the world.He is handsome in appearance, strong in martial arts, and brave in doing justice.Yun Xi knew that Cheng Zhou's formation skills were particularly outstanding, at least much better than her family's Yun Shen.

It's just that although Cheng Zhou traveled around, he never came to the capital.

The corner of her mouth couldn't help evoking sincere joy, "Let him in quickly."

Cheng Zhou also lived in her house for a while, and in Yun Xi's eyes, he was no different from her younger brother.

Cheng Zhou was quickly led in by Yin Dan.Seeing him for the first time, Yun Xi really didn't dare to recognize him.The original childish eyebrows have completely grown, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a long body.If the Cheng Zhou that Yun Xi saw in the past was an unsheathed sword with a cold light, then now he has restrained that sword energy well.

It's just that when his eyes look at you, he can still see the sharpness of his first entry into the rivers and lakes.

Lu Yiran's eyes lit up, and he pushed Yun Xi, "Okay, there is such a beautiful boy who doesn't know how to introduce him to me."

Yun Xi's eyelids twitched, don't talk about this person as if she is a pimp, okay?

Hearing this, Cheng Zhou couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized it.He has been in the world for several years, and he has met women who are more open.

He didn't look at Lu Yiran, his eyes fell on Yun Xi, his gentle eyes matched his sharp eyebrows, "Sister Yun Xi."

When he shouted, Yun Xi felt that the strangeness he hadn't seen for several years melted away.

She smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for several years, and you don't know how to come back to the capital to see us."

Cheng Zhou touched his nose and smiled, but said nothing.

Yun Xi ordered someone to cook some of Cheng Zhou's favorite dishes, and asked, "Why are you here suddenly today?"

Cheng Zhou said: "Earlier, there was a flower picker in the rivers and lakes, and he chased him to the capital."

He furrowed his eyebrows fiercely, "That flower picker has corrupted the innocence of so many girls, it's really abominable."

Yun Xi did know about this, and Duo Duo had told her that the people from the White Clothes Sect were also searching for his whereabouts.The targets of this flower picker are usually women from rich and noble families. These families love face. After the girl's innocence was corrupted, they directly found a reason to send the girl to the family temple for the sake of the so-called reputation. The Qingdeng Ancient Buddha accompanied him for a lifetime.

Yun Xi said: "If you have any clues over there, you can also tell me. I am also asking the people below to investigate this matter recently."

Cheng Zhou nodded and said: "At that time, the younger sister of a friend of mine was also the one who was innocent. The girl was originally engaged. When the fiancé heard the news, he came to the door to withdraw the engagement. The girl threw herself into the well three days later. "

Thinking of those innocent and pitiful women, Cheng Zhou hated that man so much.

He said to Yun Xi: "I only know that the flower picker has a mole the size of an egg on his chest, and he is left-handed." After all, the flower picker always covered his face when he committed crimes.

This is really a bit difficult.In this day and age, no one would show their breasts openly. You can't let everyone show their chests just to find this flower picker.

Yun Xi said: "You can discuss this matter with Duo Duo, Duo Duo and the others seem to be planning to lure the snake out of the hole."

Everyone has summed up the target of the flower picker. First of all, it must be a beautiful girl with delicate features, and it must be engaged and from a wealthy family.

Yun Xi also suspected that the reason why he chose this type of girl was probably because of some stimulation.It's just that no matter how miserable his past was, he shouldn't harm those innocent women.If this person is caught, she must let him taste the pain of being forced before he is executed.

Yun Xi talked to Cheng Zhou about some flowers, and Cheng Zhou took out a box, smiling a little more shyly, "This is the seed of the ice flower that can only be found on the Tianshan Mountains on the grassland. I heard that the ice flower is more healthy than the snow lotus. , and has a natural detoxification effect. I picked some specially."

This ice flower is located at the top of the cliff, the cliff is hundreds of meters high, even a person with excellent lightness kung fu may fall to pieces if he is not careful.He also risked his life at the time, and it took several months to successfully pick the flower.

It's just that these things don't need to be said.

For Yun Xi, this rare flower seed is more in her favor than those rare treasures.She opened the box, looked at the seeds inside, and smiled at Yanyan, "Thank you, I like this gift very much."

The seeds of this ice flower also look very magical, as clear as jade.Yun Xi lightly touched it with her fingers, and felt a chill.

Cheng Zhou said: "This ice flower blooms on the Tianshan Mountains. If you want to keep it, you'd better get a special icehouse."

Yun Xi nodded, "I know."

As long as there is no shortage of saltpeter, building an ice room is not a big problem for her.

Lu Yiran just watched this scene quietly, compared to Yun Xi, she was more sensitive to matters between men and women.She could clearly feel that the young man in front of him had a faint admiration for You You, but she didn't intend to point it out.

A teenager's admiration is the purest, but also fragile.Time is enough to fade these feelings.Besides, looking at the beautiful young man who seems to be ignorant, why should she be the so-called bad guy?

After Yun Xi finished speaking with Cheng Zhou, she turned to look at her friend who was rarely quiet.

Lu Yiran showed her a brighter smile, which made Yun Xi a little confused.

Soon the kitchen brought out the few dishes she ordered.

Yun Xi directly asked Cheng Zhou to eat first, but Lu Yiran directly pulled her out.

"This Cheng Shaoxia will not stay in the capital for a long time, will he?"

Yun Xi said: "After the flower picker is caught, he should leave." Cheng Zhou belongs to the world.

Lu Yiran nodded in satisfaction, and said, "That's good! I've decided! After he leaves, I'll leave the capital in the name of chasing him."

Well, leaving Beijing in pursuit of a handsome man, this is very her usual style, and it will certainly not arouse suspicion.She will come back after the baby is born.

Yun Xi was a little speechless, she was silent for a while, and then said: "Then you have to ask Cheng Zhou what he wants, and you are not allowed to force him."

Lu Yiran raised his chin and said, "Do I look like that kind of person?"

Yun Xi didn't know what Lu Yiran said to Cheng Zhou, but in the end Cheng Zhou really agreed, even though his face was not very good-looking.

Originally, Yun Xi wanted Cheng Zhou to live in the guest room, but Cheng Zhou didn't want to, saying that he was annoyed by Yun Shen's face, so he went directly to Du's house.

Du Zhoushi was really happy when he saw him. Cheng Zhou always liked his elders, and a few words made Du Zhoushi smile. Li Yushi also liked him, so he would talk to him from time to time.It's just that the sequelae of being too cute is that the two elders are very enthusiastic about marrying Cheng Zhou.

According to them, with Cheng Zhou's good looks and no shortage of money, they must introduce him to a virtuous and docile wife.

Cheng Zhou was so frightened that he quickly moved out of Du's house and rented a small yard to live in.

Yun Shen and Cheng Zhou still look at each other and hate each other. When Cheng Zhou comes over occasionally, the interaction between the two is to learn from each other.In the past, Cheng Zhou had less than fifty moves under Yun Shen's command, but now he is only slightly inferior to Yun Shen.

Cheng Zhou was very unconvinced, and from time to time he would come to the door and ask for abuse.

Yun Xi felt that this was a special way for the two of them to connect with each other, so she didn't bother to make peace.

As Cheng Zhou said, the flower picker really came to the capital and committed at least three crimes.Compared with other places, the behavior of the flower picker was more arrogant. After ruining the girl's innocence, he wrote a book directly to describe the details.

When the book was released, it caused quite a stir.Although the flower picker didn't name the victim, based on the joy above, everyone basically guessed the identity of the victim.The girls from these three families all ended up "dead of illness" in the end.

After Yun Xi found out about this, she knocked down a sandalwood table at home.

There are many people who are as angry as her, and Chu Xiyuan even ordered the Yamen to arrest the flower picker as soon as possible and execute him Ling Chi.In view of the fact that his behavior was too vicious and outrageous, Chu Xiyuan, who originally abolished Ling Chi's death method, brought it back to the sky.

Duoduo was also very angry, and said: "That Green Bamboo Bookstore is simply abominable. They actually collaborated with this flower picker and published such books. Those three girls were clearly forced to death by them."

Qingzhu Bookstore is a bookstore that helps sell this book.There has always been a market for this kind of eclectic storybooks. After the launch of Qingzhu Bookstore, more than 1000 copies of the storybooks were sold out in one morning.Although the yamen also asked the yamen servants to bring the shopkeeper of the bookstore there.

But what the shopkeeper said sounded good. When he flipped through the book, he thought it was a fabrication, not knowing that it was all true.

Fu Yin also asked about the man's appearance, and the shopkeeper only said that he bought it outright for ten taels of silver.The appearance of the flower picker he described was the appearance of an ordinary person.

It would be fine if the shopkeeper didn't know the truth in front of him, but when the book was sold out and the incident was full of troubles, he ordered another thousand copies to be printed, intending to take advantage of this shareholder wind to make a fortune.

This practice of paying dead money undoubtedly made Yun Xi intolerable.

She directly asked people to pour some bad water on the bookstore in the middle of the night.The stench didn't go away for days.With this stench, the bookstore couldn't even open for business.The shop owner was cursing, but he couldn't find the suspect, so he could only admit that he was unlucky.

The common people in the capital were very relieved.After all, there are quite a lot of people who have three righteous views, and everyone despises this bookstore's approach.Seeing someone teach them a lesson now, they are naturally happy to gloat beside them.

On the other side, after days of investigation, Yun Xi also found some evidence.

Judging from those victims, they all had custom-made jewelry in the most famous local jewelry store one month before they were killed.The families of the victims were all quite wealthy, and the daughters of such families would definitely make several exquisite hairdresses when they got married.

Following the traces, Yun Xi somewhat guessed how the other party committed the crime.The first is to go to the jewelry store as a clerk, and then choose the object immediately.After the jewelry is ordered, go to the woman's house in the name of sending jewelry, take the opportunity to step on the spot, and finally start.

After he succeeded, the flower picker left the jewelry store with the excuse of his mother's death.

Thinking of this, Yun Xi was so angry that her teeth ached.Those girls chose exquisite jewelry for themselves full of shyness and longing, but they never thought that this disaster would be caused.

Dodo said: "Anyway, we know each other's methods."

Dodo took a piece of paper and said, "I asked Sister Man'er and the others to investigate all the buddies in the jewelry stores in the capital. Among them, these eight people came to the capital just a month ago, and they are very suitable for the flower picker. settings."

She frowned slightly, and said with some embarrassment: "I asked the sisters of Baiyi Jiao to look for opportunities to look at their chests, but none of these people saw the so-called black marks on their chests."

"I can only let people stare at them temporarily."

Yun Xi nodded, and said: "The imprint is not necessarily accurate. Maybe the flower picker deliberately drew a mark on himself to confuse everyone."

After thinking about it, Dodo thought it made sense, and when she recalled her cousin's elusive makeup technique, she felt that it was really easy to fake it.

Duoduo said: "I have already asked some girls in the church to act as the betrothed girls, and I asked them to go to these shops to order jewelry for the dowry."

Yun Xi understood that Duo Duo was trying to lure the snake out of the hole, she nodded and said, "If you don't have enough manpower, remember to tell me."

Dodo smiled and said, "Of course I won't be polite with my sister."

The two talked about the flower picker, and Yun Xi turned the topic on Duoduo, "Has the Ming family's engagement time been fixed?"

After the rebellion in the palace, everyone in the capital knew that Ming Zuoting had deliberately pretended to be in love with Yu Lian to confuse the two princes, so the two naturally exchanged Geng Tie again.

Duoduo's expression is calm, not at all the shyness that an unmarried girl should have after talking about this: "Well, I will be hired at No. 20 in June, and I will get married in March next year."

Seeing her demeanor, people who didn't know thought she was talking about other people's affairs.

Yun Xi said: "A few days ago, Lai San sent some gems and jade over. I picked two boxes. You and Yun Yao each choose one box for yourself." gems.

Yun Xi also gave a box of Yu Rong and Dong Xiang.

Dodo was also not polite to her, and went back after taking the jade.

……

During this period of time, Cheng Zhou followed Duo Duo to investigate the matter, and was ready to take action whenever he found evidence.

It's just that before they could catch anyone, a Qingxu Daoist priest came from the capital, who was born with a celestial demeanor, and it was said that there were no omissions.When the family who had been harmed by the flower picker heard about it, they went to look for Taoist Qingxu and asked him to help with divination to find out the thief's identity and whereabouts.

Taoist Master Qingxu pinched his fingers and figured out that the flower picker was Shen Liu, a buddy of Ziyu Pavilion.

Ziyu Pavilion is also a well-known jewelry store in the capital, and Shen Liu is also one of the suspects on Dodo's list.

People also found some women's underwear in Shen Liu's home, which can be said to be conclusive evidence of the crime.Shen Liu also confessed to the crime he committed, so he was sentenced to Ling Chi to death.On the day he died, many people went to watch, and no one was willing to collect his body.When many people saw that scene, they just felt very happy, thinking that he deserved what he deserved.

Daoist Qingxu, who successfully figured out the identity of the flower picker, also became famous because of this.The families of the victims wanted to thank him with gold, silver and jewelry, but Daoist Qingxu refused, saying that he was not doing it for money, but just did not want to violate his heart.He also rejected the house given to him by others, and only built himself a small thatched hut at the foot of the mountain, where he recited the Tao Te Ching every day, acting like a worldly expert.

His demeanor made people admire him even more, and they all praised him as the real Taoist.

only……

After Cheng Zhou came back from watching the execution, his brows were furrowed.

Yun Xi asked: "What's the matter? Hasn't the flower picker been dealt with already? You can also tell your friend to make him feel at ease."

Cheng Zhou shook his head, gritted his teeth with a sullen face, "I went to see the man's body. He is not a flower picker."

Yun Xi paused, her gaze became sharp, "Are you sure?"

Cheng Zhou said: "I fought against that flower picker. Although he was masked at the time and I didn't see his real appearance, his qinggong was very good, and he also carried a lot of hidden weapons on his body, otherwise I would have Captured him. Then Shen Liu, he is an ordinary person without martial arts, how could he be a flower picker."

"Shen Liu pleaded guilty."

Cheng Zhou said: "I know. But I can be sure that the flower picker is not him."

Yun Xi's expression was serious, "If it's according to what you say, I'm afraid he's just a replacement flower picker." She snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid he's just a stepping stone for some people to become famous."

The person who benefited the most from the execution of the flower picker was this Qingxu Taoist who appeared out of nowhere.

There are many ways to make a person willing to bear the charge.

Yun Xi asked people to check Shen Liu's details carefully, and on the other hand, asked Yinmen to pay more attention to Taoist Qingxu.The other party has made such a huge reputation, I'm afraid they have evil intentions.It's just that he didn't know who this Qingxu Taoist was going to deal with.

She is still investigating the matter of Shen Liu and Taoist Qingxu, something happened to Yunyao.

In the early morning of June [-]th, Yun Yao bundled up a man with dark skin and came aggressively to Yun Xi's mansion.

She threw him directly in front of Yun Xi, and stepped on the other's face.

Seeing the man's nose and face bruised and swollen by Yun Yao's beating, Yun Xi was surprised and said, "Who is this?"

Yun Yao snorted coldly, "Who else? It's the flower picker."

"He actually set his mind on this girl. I just abolished his dantian last night. I see how he can do evil!"

Yun Xi's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes fell on this man.

Yun Yao gave the man a fierce look, and then told Yun Xi about the ins and outs of the future.

　Rolling, ready to wrap up in May...
