Chapter 5 Discovery
"Is it you?" Pressing the black shadow's lifeline, Xin Nuo saw the person on the ground clearly. After a moment of relaxation, he became even more angry, "You look like a human, and you actually peeked at me to relieve myself?"

Chu Wei, who was lying on the ground, was speechless for a while, and said in a calm voice: "I didn't mean to peek at you, I just saw that you didn't come back for a long time after going out, so I was kind enough to come and take a look."

Xinnuo snorted coldly, but let go of his hand, saying: "Good intentions? You don't have good intentions because you see me good-looking. I think it's not good intentions, but lust."

It was indeed the first time for Chu Wei to see a girl whose appearance matched his liking, so he paid more attention to her. When he asked her to say this, he was immediately speechless.

"Forget me meddling, can you let me go?" Chu Wei's two long arms were half-opened, and a pair of slender, deep but clean eyes fell on Xinnuo.

Xinnuo lowered his head and realized that he was riding on someone's waist, so he quickly stood up.

Chu Wei stood up again, with a lot of dirt on his back.

After all, he had misunderstood him. When Xinnuo stepped forward, Chu Wei subconsciously ducked aside.

Xinnuo's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and she said, "I just want to pat the dirt on your back."

Chu Wei coughed and took off his black robe. Two shadows, one long and one short, met in the moonlight.

"You go ahead," Chu Wei said sideways.

Is it such a gentleman?

Two words appeared in Xinnuo's mind that she didn't quite understand, and she walked past the man.

Chu Wei shook his head, she was really a little girl, I'm afraid she was just a hairpin, no wonder her whole body was so lively.

The little girl in front suddenly stopped, pointed to the balcony behind, and asked him: "Don't you want to go for a while?"

Chu Wei's face turned dark and he said, "No need."

The two of them walked back one after another, and after entering the main hall from the side door, their steps became a little lighter.

But before lying down to sleep, Xinnuo felt that something was wrong. She looked at all the people sleeping in the hall, but found nothing unusual.

"Go to sleep," the new old man turned over and whispered: "After you went out, two more people went out."

There are two people, one is Chu Wei who is following him.

What about the other one?

The new old man said: "The scribe wearing a robe on his back."

Xin Nuo was confused, wasn't the figure she saw when she woke up a man in trousers?

Because they were sleeping outdoors, everyone woke up very early the next day.

Xinnuo opened her eyes amidst Hongshen's complaints one after another. Her grandparents had already gotten up. Her grandma was sitting on the blanket, wet a towel and wiped her face. When she heard her sitting up, she said, "Your grandpa is cooking." Porridge is served, wash your face, drink something hot and we will continue on our way."

Hongshan rolled her eyes. She was an old country lady, but she was very particular. Even if she washed her face, she still smelled bad.

She was unwilling to serve a woman whose education was worse than hers, and she felt a lot of dissatisfaction in her heart. In addition, her lips were so swollen that she couldn't see from the slap she received last night. She was even more resentful towards that young lady.

"Where are you going?" Nanny Qin packed her things with a stern face and asked her daughter who was about to go out without saying a word.

Hong Fan's mouth was swollen and she couldn't speak clearly, but she still insisted on speaking, "The smell in the palace is too bad. I'm going to go outside to get some fresh air."

Old Man Min closed his melon bag uneasily, looking at the red fan and hesitating to speak.

Xinnuo wanted to laugh when he heard this.

But her grandmother taught her since childhood that girls should be quiet and smile without showing their teeth.

Chu Wei turned his head inadvertently and saw the girl's red lips slightly raised, but her silent smile was sweet to the heart.

A poem suddenly came to mind: People are idle, osmanthus flowers are falling, the night is quiet and the spring mountains are empty.

This smile is quite similar to that of a sweet-scented osmanthus tree in full bloom in the bright night sky, with its petals falling silently.

"Sir, do we still have breakfast?" Zhang Ku's voice woke Chu Wei from his daze.

He shook his head and said, "Let's set off."

A few grown men had nothing to deal with, so they stamped out the fire that was still smoking slightly and left.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! ! !

It was at this time that the scream, which was not like a human voice, came.

The voice came from the back of the palace.

Chu Wei looked back and took the lead in taking the step: "Let's go and have a look."

"Grandpa, let's go take a look too." Xin Nuo said to the old man Xin Nuo: "The voice sounded like a red fan. With the shouting like this, could it be that some kind of dismemberment scene was discovered?"

"Crow's mouth," the old lady scolded, but her face was full of kindness.

The old and new man looked at the rest of the people in the hall and said, "Let's go and take a look."

As for Nanny Qin, when she heard the scream just now, she ran out worriedly.

Xinnuo and his grandparents followed the footsteps in front of them and came to the thousand-story platform behind the main hall.

From a distance, I saw a person with his head bowed deeply, sitting on his knees facing inside at the entrance of the first floor.Hong Fan, who was energetic and energetic just now, pointed at Sang Huai, now fell down not far away with a pale face, covering his chest with one hand and supporting the ground with the other, and kept retching.

Look, there was indeed a murder.

While thinking this, the Chu Wei masters and servants who were the first to come out had already arrived.

Hongshen, who was crying from vomiting, shouted "Young Master, help me" and reached out to hug Chu Wei, who was in second place.

Just a flash of Chu Wei's body, and it was Zhang Ku who was hugged.

Zhang Ku did not dislike the red fan that was full of snot and tears. Although he looked rough, he had a soft heart. He patted the other party on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, girl."

Intimate and not at all flirtatious.

From this point, it can be seen that he is a man who truly cares about the girl's family.

Perhaps in his eyes, all women in the world are pitiful, cute and respectable.

Xinnuo felt a little familiar, as if she had had a good friend who was similar to Zhang Ku.

Before crossing the threshold of the building, a faint smell of blood reached my nose.

Chu Wei did not go in, but squatted down to look at the person kneeling on the ground in a penitent posture.

The man's face was already gray, his head was bowed deeply, and he knelt in a kneeling position near the door. Chu Wei visually measured the distance. This position was about ten inches away from the center of the door.

"There is a bronze mirror here," Xinnuo said, pointing to the wall in front of him.

Chu Wei, who was half-crouching, raised his eyes, looked serious, and said, "Go out and don't destroy the crime scene."

When Xinnuo saw the cloud-stepping boots on his feet, he suddenly understood.

People from the yamen, then I won’t meddle in other people’s business.

The deceased was in a penitent posture, and his tongue was hanging on the bronze mirror. Xinnuo knew that this was a murder caused by words and tongues.

Although she had only examined some corpses with her grandfather when she was in Qian'an County, she seemed to have a lot of experience in this area, so much so that she could extract many key points just by scanning the scene.
