Daxuannv's sentence

Chapter 13
Rain began to fall in the dark sky again, and the temperature inside the mourning hall was several degrees lower, but the atmosphere was even lower than this temperature, as if frozen, and everyone was silent.

After a while, Mrs. Qin took the lead to return to the inner hall slowly with the support of the girl, and then everyone else went back to the room one after another. Aunt Zhu Guizhi and uncle Chen Yan glanced at Ye Ke with some malicious intentions, then Chen Liren stopped fanning, put his hands behind his back and pretended to walk away slowly.

But the third sister, Zhu Qiao, nodded at Ye Ke before leaving and said meaningfully: "Sister-in-law, keeping the spirit is a very important matter, don't fall asleep at night."

Ye Ke said calmly: "I'm a well-known champion of sleeping late and staying up late, don't worry."

Zhu Qiao couldn't help smiling, shook her head and then walked lightly, leaving the mourning hall.

"My lord princess hasn't gone back yet. Could it be that my conscience has discovered it? Want to keep watch for your son?" Zhu You led Ye Ke to sit down on a chair beside him and said.

Rain always brings wind, and the wind on rainy nights in cold winter is always like a bone-cutting steel knife, blowing from outside the wall into this empty mourning hall, blowing the palace dress of Princess Qingyang, she tightened her body a little white fox fur.

"My good daughter-in-law, come here, I haven't said anything personal to you yet."

Princess Qingyang smiled sweetly, but Ye Ke felt as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake, and his scalp was numb.

"My lord, you'd better go back quickly, so as not to freeze you, it will be a big loss for me, Daxuan." Zhu You stopped in front of Ye Ke and said indifferently, but his tone was very firm.

Hearing this, Princess Qingyang laughed loudly and said: "Hahahaha, my dear son, do you know what you look like now?" She walked outside and said, "You are like an old mother now." Chicken, let me see how long you can hold on."

You are the chicken, and your whole family is a chicken!Bah, you old hen.

Of course, Ye Ke didn't scold these words directly, moreover, it seemed that he scolded himself too.
Bang Bang Bang!
The sound of beating men came from outside. Ye Ke guessed that it was almost three quarters. He looked at Zhu You who was burning papers in front of the mourning hall, walked over quietly, and handed over a small cloth bag in his sleeve. gave him.

"This is?" Zhu You took the cloth bag with some doubts, opened it and saw that there were several buns, and couldn't help but froze in place, he happened to be hungry.

Only then did Zhu You understand that Ye Ke suddenly disappeared and went to get this for himself. He was touched in his heart, lowered his head, and his eyes softened three points.

Ye Ke naturally took the paper money in his hand, burned it up and said, "You haven't eaten dinner, you should be hungry, but it's a bit cold, it would be great if I could steam it for you."

Zhu You handles cases all the year round and often sleeps in the open. Although he is distinguished, he is not a pampered rich man. On the contrary, he is a person who can endure hardships better than many poor families. Otherwise, he would not have survived in just a year or two. Time has gone from being a head catcher to the position of the Gyeonggi Criminal Division.

After finishing the bun in his hand three times, five times and two times, and taking a sip of hot tea, I wish you a little bit more energy.

"This princess seems to be very hostile to me." Ye Ke looked at Zhu You and said.

Zhu You was silent for a while and said: "Sister-in-law just needs to keep a distance from her. Don't worry about the rest. She treats everyone the same. What she loves is power."

Seeing Zhu You's reluctance to continue, Ye Ke shook his head and started another topic. The two of them chatted one after another until the middle of the night, when the chill became stronger and the rain stopped. The temperature, if it doesn't rain, I'm afraid there will be a lot of frost on the vegetation.

Ye Ke huddled behind the leeward pillar, breathed on his hands, his little face was flushed from the cold, Zhu You was fine, the old god was there, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

It's true that I'm the champion of staying up late, but I'm not an Eskimo, Ye Ke complained. Just when she couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to find something to warm up, Xiaomei came.

She hugged a quilt and held a jug of spirits in her hand, like a god in Ye Ke's eyes.

Ye Ke dozed off for a while, and the sky was already pale. When she just put down the quilt, she found a thick cloak with a snow cap on her body, and the soft fluff wrapped around her neck. The warmth and comfort.

"My sister-in-law has too few clothes, and the cold is even worse in the morning, so don't catch a cold." Zhu You said softly.

Ye Ke just wanted to ask him where a man got this woman's cloak, although it was dark green, it looked very noble.

"This is. It belongs to one of my elders. It was placed with me many years ago. You don't have anything to keep out of the cold, so just wear it."

Not long after, the gate of the courtyard opened, and the people of the Duke's Mansion had already set up battles. After a Taoist priest chanted the scriptures, everyone began to walk along the street towards the ancestral grave of the Duke's Mansion's family outside the east gate. The street has been cleaned a long time ago, there are no pedestrians, a ten-mile-long street, and a hundred people go to the funeral.

Perhaps it was because of the rain at work, the coffin bearers walked very slowly and seemed to be struggling a bit, it took a full two hours to put the coffin into the burial pit.

The Taoist started to practice again, the sky was full of white paper money, everyone lowered their eyebrows and solemnly, but Ye Ke frowned and stared at the coffin in the pit, thoughtful.

"Young Madam, what's the matter?" Xiaomei asked softly from the side.

Ye Ke came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, just thinking about it."

There was no crying, no mourning, everyone was surprisingly calm, maybe they had accepted the death of the young master for many days, maybe he finally died.
After the funeral, Zhu You and Ye Ke started investigating Uncle Guang's case at the Duke's Mansion.

First, they found the concierge who was familiar with Uncle Guang and asked, "Uncle Guang these days, do you think there is anything unusual about him?"

The concierge shook his head and thought hard: "There's nothing wrong with Lao Guang. He also goes shopping for vegetables, medicine, and doing things every day. He even drank with me the past two days. He's blowing all over the place, but there's nothing new about it."

"Then these days, apart from the death of the young master and Uncle Guang, did anything special happen? Or did something happen that never happened?" Ye Ke suddenly asked.

The concierge shook his head and said, "No, not recently."

The concierge didn't get anything here, and the two of them asked more servants and maids, but they found nothing.

The two gave up and planned to go back to the Criminal Division first to see if they could find some clues from Uncle Guang's body. Just as they were leaving the gate of the Duke's Mansion, a servant of the Criminal Division came galloping away on a horse. Come.

Seeing Zhu You, the yamen officer got off his horse and hurriedly reported: "My lord, it's not good!"

Zhu You's complexion changed and he shouted: "What's the matter!?"

"Uncle Guang's body is gone!"
