Daily life in Kaifeng dormitory

Ni Yexin said: "We looked at the accounts of the looting of the Changsheng Library yesterday. If there were really only two robbers who held Mr. Zhu to open the door, how did they take away so many things?"

Murong thought about it for a while, and it was indeed a thick and large book of accounts. There were a lot of things lost. Although there were no big items, there were so many things, probably at least three or four cars. It was really difficult for the two robbers to get them. Walk.

Murong Chang said affectionately: "They came to loot, they definitely came prepared, there are always tools to commit crimes."

Ni Yexin said: "Yes, there must be. But think about it, at that time, it was said that someone passed by, so the robbers were frightened. Those two robbers were able to transport so many in an instant before they even had time to kill Mr. Zhu. Things seem to be a little unreasonable."

Zhu Gongzi was not killed, this is a very important issue.

Ni Yexin said again: "Young Master Zhu had many wounds on his body, and he was beaten badly. Why did the robbers have time to beat him and not kill him?"

Murong Changqing said: "Perhaps those robbers beat him first and threatened him, and asked him to take them to open the longevity storehouse. Young Master Zhu was injured at that time."

Ni Yexin shook his head and said, "No, Mr. Zhu suffered several injuries on his legs at the time. If he took the robbers to open the Longevity Storehouse after he was injured, he might not be able to walk after he recovered. He should not have moved since he was injured. .”

Murong Changqing has nothing to say.

Ni Yexin said: "There is another problem. The shopkeeper of Changshengku said that all the large pieces of porcelain in Changshengku were smashed, and those that could not be taken away were also smashed."

Murong Chang said affectionately: "There is something wrong."

Ni Yexin said: "Bandits are indeed quite barbaric. It's normal to smash things, but in the dead of night, they are stealing things, but they smashed bottles and cans in a hurry, and they will definitely make a noise. Then they are too Stupid, isn't it obvious that someone will catch them?"

Murong Chang nodded affectionately and said, "What's going on?"

Ni Yexin said: "Smashing things is actually a psychological state of venting anger. It is a manifestation of dissatisfaction accumulated in the heart."

"To vent your anger?" Murong Chang said affectionately.

Ni Yexin said: "Actually, when I think about it this way, I also tend to be the son-in-law of the Yang family who directed and acted the self-imposed crime. However, there are still many strange things."

Murong Chang said affectionately: "You mean... the snake pattern totem?"

Ni Yexin nodded and said, "This is one of them."

If the eldest son-in-law of the Yang family directed and acted by himself from the beginning to the end, then there are many things that can be explained, such as why the Changsheng library was not only looted, but also smashed to pieces.

Ni Yexin said: "Miss Yang is actually a very nice woman, smart, capable, decisive, steady, calm, stubborn, and kind."

Murong Changqing raised his eyebrows and said, "You like her very much? She is a married woman."

Ni Yexin smiled and said, "I admire her very much, don't be jealous. But this kind of personality is actually very unpleasant."

"Her husband doesn't like her?" Murong Chang said affectionately.

Ni Yexin said: "Maybe, maybe Mr. Zhu feels depressed, not free, and even a little bit resentful. So if Mr. Zhu really directed and acted on his own, it makes sense that the Changsheng library was smashed to pieces. It is because he is venting his anger. He has been dissatisfied with his wife for a long time, and he has been dissatisfied with the Yang family for a long time, smashing all the things of the Yang family."

After Ni Yexin finished speaking, she frowned in distress and said, "But what about the snake pattern totem? Mr. Zhu has already left with the money. Why did the snake pattern suddenly appear on the wall of the Yang family?"

Murong Changqing didn't say anything, because this was exactly his distress, he didn't care about the Yang family's affairs, but he cared about the snake pattern totem.This is also the purpose of his coming here all the way.

Ni Yexin said again: "Furthermore, with those injuries on Mr. Zhu's body, it is impossible for him to make himself like that by himself. Could it be that he has accomplices?"

Murong Changqing said again: "There is another question, how did Mr. Zhu let the Yamen draw the portrait of the robber? Is it a coincidence?"

Ni Yexin said: "This is actually a very simple question. You forgot that Mr. Zhu is going to do business everywhere. Although it is impossible for Huzi to hijack him, they didn't even meet each other. But Huzi was wanted before, and Mr. Zhu is probably doing business. At that time, he saw Huzi’s arrest warrant. So when the official of the Yamen asked him, he was in a hurry and casually described a bandit he had seen before.”

Murong Chang nodded affectionately, and said, "It seems... reasonable."

"It's here." Ni Yexin said.

When they arrived at the gate of Yang's house, the servant let them in. Ni Yexin said that he wanted to find Miss Yang, but the maid said that the lady hadn't gotten up yet because she was too tired recently, but the maid had already gone to invite the lady, so let them wait for a while .

Ni Yexin agreed, and walked around Yang's house casually, wanting to see the snake pattern totem on the courtyard wall again.

The two walked over, and before they entered the courtyard, they saw an old man with gray hair. The old man was standing in the yard, alone, his back was already bent, leaning on a cane, looking at the snake pattern totem on the wall.

Ni Yexin was a little surprised when he saw this. This old man is Mr. Yang. He looks a bit old. It is estimated that too many things have happened recently, and Mr. Yang is not in good health.

Mr. Yang watched very intently, and didn't even know there was someone behind him.

Murong Changqing suddenly made a silent movement, raised a finger and pressed his lips.

Ni Yexin nodded quickly, he only had one thought in his mind now, Hero Murong's action is too slow...

The old man stared at the serpentine totem, they couldn't see his eyes, but they could feel his complicated and deep.

Suddenly, the old man took a step forward and stretched out his hand tremblingly, as if he wanted to touch the snake pattern totem.But at the moment when he was about to touch it, he suddenly withdrew his hand, like being stung by a scorpion, withdrew it in horror, turned around quickly and wanted to leave.

As soon as Mr. Yang turned around, he saw someone behind him. He was shocked and almost fell down. Ni Yexin quickly helped him up.

Mr. Yang said: "Thank you, you are here to investigate the case, please investigate."

Ni Yexin said: "Old Yang, are you looking at that totem? Do you know this totem?"

"I don't know." Elder Yang denied it outright, waved Ni Yexin's hand away, and walked away immediately.

Murong Chang said affectionately: "He has ghosts in his heart."

"Even Hero Murong can see it." Ni Yexin said, "Maybe it's because the ghost in his heart is so big that it's hard to hide it."

"Two adults."

The eldest lady of the Yang family came here in a hurry, she probably met Mr. Yang on the way, and said, "My lords, my father is not in good health, if there is anything, you two lords can just ask me."

"Well," Ni Yexin smiled and said, "We happen to have something to ask Madam."

"Okay," Miss Yang said, "please come with me."

Miss Yang led the way, Ni Yexin and Murong Changqing followed.

Perhaps because of Ni Yexin's words, Murong Changqing couldn't help but look at Miss Yang more.Miss Yang is indeed very beautiful, and she has a good temperament, she has the bearing of a lady, almost no fault can be found, she has to be said to be a perfect woman.

Everyone entered the living room, sat down and drank tea first.

Ni Yexin opened his mouth and asked, "Madam, do you know your husband well?"

"This..." Miss Yang was taken aback, smiled faintly, and said, "Of course I understand."

Ni Yexin said: "I want to ask, do you know a girl named Hua?"

"Clap-"

The teacup in Miss Yang's hand fell to the ground and shattered instantly.She was obviously too surprised, and the expression on her face was too late to delay.

The maid next to Miss Yang immediately ran over and said, "Miss, are you okay? Are you burning?"

The servant girl quickly wiped Miss Yang's wet skirt, she seemed a little angry, glared at Ni Yexin angrily, and said, "My lord, didn't you come to investigate the case? Why did you mention that for no reason..."

Before the servant girl finished speaking, she was stopped by Miss Yang and said, "Don't be rude."

The servant girl seemed unwilling, but she had no choice but to bite her lip and not speak.

Miss Yang said: "I am dissatisfied with the two adults saying that they know each other. A few days ago... she came to the door and said that she is my husband's wife... This was originally a family scandal, and the two adults made a joke."

Ni Yexin said: "We heard people say that the Hua girl came here many times, and was injured a few times when she went back. It's..."

The servant girl finally held back when she heard this, and said loudly: "That's none of Miss's business, I beat her. That shameless rascal, I found it several times, and the first time I said it was our uncle's wife." The servants went to inquire, but I never heard that my uncle had a wife before. The second time I came to lick my face and said that our uncle’s flesh and blood was broken in her stomach. Pooh, it’s a lie again. She also called my young lady a A chicken that can't lay eggs, it's a good thing I didn't tear her mouth apart."

"Okay, stop talking!" Miss Yang seemed a little angry.

The maid then closed her mouth, but she was still angrily.

Ni Yexin was a little surprised, it seemed that there were some discrepancies in the gossip, and said, "Then... madam, do you know Miss Hua's name?"

Although the girl surnamed Hua stayed in the teahouse, everyone didn't know her name, because her brother's surname was Hua, so they knew her surname was Hua.

Miss Yang recalled it carefully, and said, "It seems to be... Hua Xiuya, I don't remember clearly."

After Ni Yexin and Murong Changqing asked about the matter, they stood up and prepared to leave.

Miss Yang seemed a little unwell, but she still stood up to send them to the door.

As soon as a few people reached the door, they saw Chi Long rushing over in a hurry, panting a little while running, and said, "Master Ni, I finally found you."

"What's wrong?" Ni Yexin said, "What happened?"

Chi Long said: "We found a corpse. I heard it was someone Zhu Gongzi knew. I don't know if it has something to do with Zhu Gongzi's kidnapping."

"Corpse?" Ni Yexin said.

Chi Long said: "Yes, it's a girl's body. It has been transported back to the Yamen. Some people know her and say it is a girl surnamed Hua."

"what?"

Everyone was taken aback, when they mentioned the surname Hua, their first reaction was that girl named Hua Xiuya.Everyone mentioned her just now, but when they heard the word "corpse", they were all stunned.

"You said she...she died?" Miss Yang was taken aback, her face was full of shock, and she said, "Why...how did this happen?"
