Jinyi Night Walk

"Got it..., got it..."

No one knew what Cicada knew. Anyway, Daniu and Cuiyun, who had no idea what happened, were called drowsy by it.When it comes to summer, the cicadas sing one after another, not to mention that I have been sitting in the classroom for more than half an hour, even pedestrians who are walking on the road will feel hypnotized when they hear this cry, and their upper and lower eyelids will continue to cry. to fight.

But Xiaodi was very energetic. She felt very cool in the waiting room of the Second Hall of the Yamen in Qingzhou Prefecture. This place does not see the sun all year round. Even in the scorching summer, there is a cool breeze.

The waiting room was empty except for a few stools. Aunt Liu was the first witness to be interrogated. The remaining three witnesses, Xiaodi, Cuiyun and Daniu, sat on the stools. Can stare blankly at the fence ahead.No talking is allowed here, and there are two yamen servants standing outside the fence with Fenghuo sticks, and everything in the classroom can be seen clearly.

Xiao Di was not afraid of strangers when she came to this kind of place. After entering the classroom, she first looked around curiously, and then became bored after being curious, so she went to chat with Sister Cuiyun, but as a result, she was scolded by the elder brother just after she said a few words. It stopped, so she asked the big brother to tell her a joke, but of course the big brother sternly stopped her again, so Xiaodi could only sit there bored and wandering in vain.

"The young master is really timid. He jumped and screamed. See if I don't need to laugh at him about this in the future. But... speaking of it, it's no wonder the young master is afraid. The appearance of Zhang Shisan's death is too scary. The young master is a scholar. , knowledgeable, courteous, gentle, never seen this before, how can you not be afraid. But I didn't see it, the young master's body is so beautiful, hehe..."

Xiaodi's eyes slowly bent down, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up: "When I was young, the young master was as fat as a ball, and when he climbed trees, he was like a big bear. He was so stupid, but his appearance now... , His shoulders are so broad, his chest is so thick, his arms are thicker than my thighs, his thighs are thicker than my waist, and his..."

Chaotic images came to mind again: the young master's naked body, the waving clothes hanger, the strong chest muscles, and the bunch of big "grapes" that were seen in a glimpse with his jumping...

Girl Xiaodi suddenly blushed, she quickly closed her eyes, then opened one guiltyly, and secretly glanced at Sister Cuiyun who was sitting on the side. Only then did I feel relieved.

Although she has been serving the young master's food and daily life, this is the first time she has seen the young master's naked appearance. The male body full of masculine beauty left a deep impression in her mind. In addition, she thought seriously the first night After what the old man said to her, this kind of strong impact suddenly caused ripples in her heart, and the image of the young master began to blur in her heart. At one moment, he was a respectable and lovely brother, and at another moment, he became a man who let her A man with a warm face and a beating heart, this feeling made her a little scared.

She didn't want to think about such frightening things anymore, and immediately turned her thoughts away, thinking in amazement: "It's strange, the young master is such a good person, who wants to kill him? Fortunately, Thirteen Lang this time, although he has been very I hate him. From this point of view, he is not too bad. At least he is loyal. If he hadn't tried his best to protect the young master, the young master would have been killed. But if I were here, I would risk my life to protect the young master. Master's!"

After thinking wildly for a while, her thoughts turned to the young master's weird behavior last night. She couldn't figure it out. What did the young master do in the ice cellar in the middle of the night? I haven't seen him out for a long time. Could it be that he was stealing ice?Why?

Just as he was thinking about it, he shouted outside: "Xiao Di, come out and wait for the master's inquiries."

With an "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhss

In the interrogation room, Mr. Zhao Ximo, the official pusher, was sitting upright, asking Miss Xiaodi carefully: "Miss Xiao, from the five-cornered pavilion where you are, can you see the surrounding situation outside the bathroom clearly?"

"Of course, the bathroom is in the flower garden, and there is a corridor separated by seventeen or eighteen steps around it. There are low grass and flowers in the middle, which can't hide people. Oh! That's not right, sitting in the pavilion is not enough. Our There are a few clumps of bamboo planted on the left side of the small pavilion, we sat and chatted in the pavilion, and the flower garden on the right half of the bathroom room can be seen clearly, but the left half is blocked by bamboo bushes, so we can’t see clearly."

"Well, so to speak, if the murderer sneaks into your mansion, jumps into the bathroom from the corridor on the left, breaks open the window and rushes in to commit the murder, and then retreats the same way after killing the man, as long as he moves quickly, you will have no time to find him?"

At this time, the door slammed, and Feng Jianxiao walked in gently.The function of the inspector is somewhat equivalent to that of the director of the office. He is also in charge of the files and official documents, so he is qualified to be present. Tuiguan had a very close personal relationship with him, so he walked in with a big face, only nodded to Zhao Tuiguan, and stood beside the transcript officer.

Xiaodi said seriously to Zhao Tuiguan: "Yes, the young master will call me after taking a bath, but he didn't call, why should I stare at the bathroom, I, Aunt Liu, Sister Cuiyun and Daniel Brother was sitting in the pavilion chatting at the time. But the murderer didn't have to break open the window, because my young master likes to take a bath, and he often goes to the bathroom to take a hot bath in winter, so the windows don't use panes, but are densely packed The solid wooden windows are closed in winter to prevent the cold from entering, and in summer they are fully opened, and one can just jump in."

"Well, the window is open, you sit in the pavilion, can you see what's going on inside the bathroom?"

Xiaodi said: "The bathroom room is built on a relatively high foundation for the convenience of drainage. You can't see what's going on in the bathroom room if you sit in the pavilion. Even if you stand...what are we looking into the bathroom room?"

Zhao Tuiguan rubbed his nose: "Well, then you should explain Zhang Shisan's appearance in the backyard and the situation before and after he entered the bathroom in detail, without any omissions."

Xiao Di said briskly: "Okay, the young master had been in the bath room for a while, we were chatting in the pavilion, when Thirteen Lang came over suddenly and asked us: 'Is the young master taking a bath?'"

Mr. Tuiguan suddenly said: "Wait, Mrs. Liu said just now that when Zhang Shisan came, he looked unhappy and seemed to be angry, right?"

Feng Xihui's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he immediately stared at Xiaodi, Xiaodi curled his lips and said: "Yes, Zhang Shisan relied on the young master's favor to keep his eyes high above the top, everyone in the house, He doesn't like anyone, his nose almost sticks up into the sky when he walks, it's really annoying, last night, he deliberately found my fault to teach others..."

Xiaodi recounted how she quarreled with Zhang Shisan when she drank sour plum soup with ice cubes last night. Usually, Mr. Tui Guan was very bored, so he kept toasting and drinking tea.

After spending a cup of tea, Xiaodi was still eloquent: "... Later, my father also said that I was not very sensible. I was a person who followed the young master since I was a child. I should show the new servants in the house. Son, why don't everyone learn from me, you can take some things, and I use things indiscriminately, so I don't mess with the rules of the house? I thought, what Dad said makes sense, I should help the young master and not let the young master worry about it Yes, so I'm not angry..."

Mr. Tuiguan put down his teacup and held his forehead helplessly. Xiaodi was still talking: "I combed the young master's hair this morning. The young master saw that I was still angry, so he teased me on purpose. In fact, he has a very good temper, and he was no longer angry at that time." , but he just lost his temper yesterday, if the young master doesn't coax me, I won't be angry, that would be so embarrassing, I will ignore him..."

The yamen servants standing with water and fire sticks on both sides bowed their heads silently, holding back their laughter as if in mourning, Xiao Di continued: "In fact, the young master has always been very kind to me. When he saw that I was still angry, he tried to find a way To make me happy, he said that he would take me to the street to play, and even buy things for me, it was like a mirror in his heart, this is the young master apologizing to me..."

"Cough! Get to the point, just tell me why Zhang Shisan looks unhappy!"

"Yes, sir, that's it. Thirteen Lang thought that after yesterday's incident, the young master no longer loves me, but the young master still treats me well. Can he not be jealous when he finds out? When he walked into the pavilion , Without even looking at me, I asked Aunt Liu and Sister Cuiyun directly: "Is the young master taking a bath?" He doesn't look at me, do I care to look at him? I just talked to Big Niu on purpose and ignored him He, and then he went to the bathroom, and after a cup of tea, I heard the young master yelling loudly: 'Help, help', and I jumped up..."

Mr. Tuiguan suddenly regained his energy. He raised his head and asked with piercing eyes: "Wait, tell me again how long it took from when Zhang Shisan entered the bathroom to when your young master shouted for help."

Xiao Di tilted his head and thought about it seriously, then he replied affirmatively: "A cup of tea is only worth a cup of tea, because Brother Big Niu was telling me a joke at that time. None. Later, he moved into the family of a silly elder sister. Since then, others have called him brother-in-law. Once, he had a lawsuit with someone and asked someone to write a complaint. They asked him: "What is your name?" Said my name is brother-in-law..."

The heads of the yamen servants were lowered, and their chins were almost reaching their chests. Zhao Tuiguan couldn't bear it any longer, but Xiaodi was a sweet girl, and no one would be annoyed by her small appearance. There are four sons, but only one little daughter, so I usually dote on this little daughter the most.Miss Zhao's family is about the same age as Xiao Di now, Mr. Zhao couldn't bear to show his authority to scold her when he saw Xian Siqi, Ai Wu and Wu, so he put his elbows on his forehead, pretending to be in great pain.

Xiaodi said vividly: "When the certificate was handed over to the yamen, the county magistrate shouted: 'Bring brother-in-law to court!' Then the servants shouted together: 'Please come to court, auntie!' The county magistrate got angry and said "You bastards, what kind of aunt!" The father-in-law said, "Master, isn't your brother-in-law our aunt?"

The yamen servants on the left and right were leaning on water and fire sticks, all of them blushed, like toads trying to get lucky, the record clerk shrugged his shoulders, the pen in his hand trembled in the air and couldn’t fall down, the pushing officer raised his head , said helplessly: "You mean, Zhang Shisan came to ask your young master if he was taking a bath, and you deliberately talked to your big brother and ignored him, and then he walked to the shower room. At this time, your big brother started to tell you Listen to the joke, after you finish listening to this joke, you will hear your young master yelling for help, right?"

Xiaodi said in amazement: "Yes! It turns out that the master already knew it. If I knew you knew it, I wouldn't have to explain it so carefully."

With a sound of "bang", the water and fire stick in the hand of a yamen servant next to him fell to the ground. He quickly bent down to pick it up while holding his hat, and bowed apologetically to Officer Zhao.

The Tuiguan took a few deep breaths in succession, and then he calmed down the official face, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, Miss Xiao, let's go on, let's go on, what happened to you after hearing the cry for help? You must be careful about these things, Don't make any omissions, otherwise, once you miss the real culprit because of your concealment, Miss Xiao, you will face a lawsuit."

Xiaodi nodded and said: "Oh! We didn't know what happened when we heard the call for help, so we ran over together, rushed into the bathroom in a hurry, and then we saw the young master with a clothes hanger in his hand, Jumping and jumping like crazy, there was a big puddle of blood on the ground, and then we saw Thirteen Lang floating in the bath with his eyes wide open, we screamed in fright, jumping and jumping with the young master ..."

"and many more!"

Mr. Tuiguan supported the case with both hands, leaned forward slightly, and said attentively: "I want to be more careful here. Was there any shadow of the murderer in the room at that time? Did you leave any weapons behind? What did your young master look like at that time? Did you ever dress neatly?" ?”

Xiaodi blinked and said: "The murderer has already run away, how could he still be there, if he is still there, we will definitely kill him. Master, the master is taking a bath, how can he put on clothes..."

Mr. Tuiguan stared intently, and asked: "Really? Without an inch of body, naked?"

Xiaodi's face was a little red: "Hmm! Yes... yes..."

"Don't be! Don't be ambiguous here, make it clear, whether it is or not!"

"Yes!"

"Well, what about his hair, is it tied up or loose."

"I haven't combed the young master's hair yet, of course it's disheveled."

"Well... I understand. Let's talk about it, let's talk about it, what's going on next?"

Xiaodi hesitated for a moment, lowered his head shyly, twisted the corner of his clothes, and said coyly: "My lord, she is still a girl who hasn't left the cabinet. I... I am really embarrassed to tell you..."

"Hahaha..." The entire hall couldn't bear it any longer, and they all burst out laughing.

Mr. Tui Guan blushed, his cheeks twitched for a long time before he waved his hand dejectedly: "You... get down... get down."
