Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Chapter 390
The shopkeeper thought for a while and replied, "There are the sons of ordinary farmers, there are also the sons of shop owners, and some are even sons of rich families... In short, if you count the people just now, you are already the seventh. "

"So much?" Nan Zhen couldn't help but ask.

"Yes," the shopkeeper nodded, "Everyone's death is different, but without exception, it is related to water. There are such rumors in all towns!"

Although he didn't believe it at first, but after many times, and the murderer couldn't be found, he had to use the power of ghosts and gods to explain.

I just hope that after the Water God Festival tomorrow, the town can restore peace, so that I don't have to worry about it every day.

After listening to his description, Xiao Rongxi asked again, "Are they all young people?"

The shopkeeper was taken aback, "Yes, about the same age as Guiming."

"What do they have in common?"

"Not really," the shopkeeper shook his head, "Although they are similar in age, their status, status, and livelihood are all very different."

Another guest came to the inn, and Gui Ming rushed over to greet him. The shopkeeper was afraid that he would not be able to handle it, so he nodded slightly to Xiao Rongxi and Nan Zhen, "You guys take it easy, I will go to greet other guests first, if you need anything, Say ha anytime."

After seeing Xiao Rongxi nodding, he hurried to the other table where the newly seated guests were.

The dishes were already served, and they were all delicious in color, fragrance, and taste. Several people ate in small bites, and they didn't seem to have much appetite.

Nan Zhen scooped two spoonfuls of soup into the bowl, and after drinking it carefully, she looked at the long street outside, raised her eyes and saw Xiao Rongxi frowning slightly, and said, "Does Your Majesty have any thoughts on this matter?"

Xiao Rongxi pondered for a moment, "I have heard many methods of killing people. Poisoning, cutting throats, cutting wrists and bleeding are all common. But drowning, especially one after another, is not like simply killing the other party, but more like yes--"

"Revenge." Nan Zhen took his words.

It's just that the other party pushed all these to the fictional "Water God".

The man nodded approvingly.

When a person is awake, he will definitely struggle and make a sound. It is unreasonable to be discovered only after he has not cooled down in the bathtub.

Although the government did not see the murderer when they inspected the scene, judging from the shopkeeper's description, there was another person everywhere.

"Let's go to the street after dinner and have a look." Xiao Rongxi took a piece of fish for Nan Zhen, "Eat more, I haven't eaten anything good on the boat these two days, and I see you are losing weight."

Nan Zhen poked at the fish in the bowl, seeing that the thorns had been peeled off, she swallowed it in one gulp.

"Fei Liu," Xiao Rongxi said again, "Go down and go quietly to the yamen to look for the files."

"Yes."

After eating, they took a nap in the room for a while, then went out to do their own things.

Xiao Rongxi and Nan Zhen stepped out of the threshold one after the other, just in time to bump into Gui Ming who was squatting at the door and eating melon seeds.

Seeing the two of them, he immediately got up, handed over the melon seeds in his hand, smiled silly, and wanted to give them to eat.

Nan Zhen smiled and waved her hand, but Xiao Rongxi grabbed a handful from his hand and said, "I just want to eat it, where did I buy it, and I will buy some later."

"Hmm, um!" Gui Ming tried his best to straighten his arms to point them in the direction.

Nan Zhen looked at him trying so hard, "Understood, thank you, I will give you some when I buy it back."

Gui Ming scratched his head in embarrassment, and watched the two go in the direction he pointed.

Xiao Rongxi peeled off a few and handed them to Nan Zhen, "Try it, it's okay."

Nan Zhen was not polite, she stepped forward and stood side by side with him, looking at him leisurely, "Your Majesty is not someone who likes to take advantage."

"It's not about taking advantage."

Xiao Rongxi smiled, and continued to peel her, "You were sleeping just now, and you didn't see that he had been squatting at the door for a long time, and he gave his hand to almost every guest who came in and out, but no one was willing to accept his kindness."

Although he can't speak, and his mind may not be very mature, his feelings of likes and dislikes for others are very obvious.

A few melon seeds are worthless and can't solve his cravings, but they can give him a sense of identity and acceptance.

Nan Zhen remembered the faint light in his eyes when he saw Xiao Rongxi reaching out to him, and suddenly realized, "I really didn't notice."

Xiao Rongxi stopped, spread out his palms, and gave her all the melon seeds, "Is it delicious?"

"good."

After Nan Zhen finished eating, she walked forward holding his hand, "Go and buy some first, I'll forget about it later."

Xiao Rongxi looked down at the fingers grabbing her sleeve, not letting her let go, "Okay."

The two came out of the fried goods shop and stood at a fork in the road. When they were hesitating which way to go, they suddenly saw the door of the shop next to them open, and a woman with curly hair in a brown and black short dress was pushed out.

He staggered a few steps before standing still.

The middle-aged woman leaned against the door frame, her eyebrows were knotted, and her eyes were full of disgust, "Go, go, your brother is studying, and you won't be afraid to smell him when you come in. Go out and wash off before you come in. "

The woman patted the ashes on her clothes nonchalantly, and replied, "How can the smell of dead people be washed off, as long as he gets used to it."

"He's going to get fame in the future. It's not good if he suffers from your bad luck."

"Heh," the woman snorted lightly, raised her chin to look at her, "at his level, tsk tsk tsk, he won't be able to touch the threshold in his whole life!"

The woman said angrily, "Get out! That's better than you. If a woman doesn't learn from female celebrities and housekeepers, she will go to work as a servant and see who dares to marry you in the future!"

The woman shook the broken hair in front of her forehead, and exhaled, "If I don't marry, I will. You see, if you marry my father, you are also a widow now."

"Oh!"

A broken shoe was thrown from inside, and the woman quickly dodged it, and when she looked up again, the door was closed.

"Really, prodigal woman, you can still wear it!"

The woman picked up the shoes, put them under the eaves, got up and took two steps, only to find Xiao Rongxi and Nan Zhen who had been standing beside them, watching the farce.

Seeing that the two people were dressed in very good materials and had an extraordinary bearing, they moved away a little bit, still muttering, "Don't let you get into bad luck."

Instead, Nan Zhen took the initiative to take two steps towards her, "You speak as a dead person, and it's even harder for a woman to become a dead person. It's not bad luck."

The woman was taken aback, then turned her head to look at Nan Zhen again, seeing that her expression did not seem to be fake, she couldn't help asking, "You really think so?"

The people in the town couldn't hide when they saw her.

"nature."

Nan Zhen walked in front of her, and raised her chin towards the shop just now, "It's okay if the family doesn't understand, as long as you feel at ease."

"Stepmother." The woman said concisely.

Nan Zhen was stunned for a moment, but she liked her temperament, so she acted out of the world, and said bluntly, "It's already mid-afternoon, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"

The woman blinked suddenly, "You want to invite me?"
