I am imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion

Wang Zhao then led people to outflank the corner of the back street, but because of the chaos of people in the market, Chen Shanming and Jian Mingyue were good at escaping, so they couldn't be found.

Cui Tao smelled a faint scent of marijuana in Jian Mingyue's room, and once again made sure that she smelled it right.

The room is not tidy, there are several big boxes filled with messy things, including big red cloth, various fishing lines and paints, and unfinished paper on the table.The cut out pieces of paper are all in the shape of butterflies, and it seems that they are intended to be used for drawing butterflies.There are also brushes, inkstones and plates with a little paint remaining on the table.It should be planned to use these things to color and draw after cutting the butterflies.

The bed was also messy, as if I just woke up and didn't have time to fold the quilt.

When Ping'er lifted the quilt to search the bed, Cui Tao stood aside and smelled Mo Lixiang again.There were two clothes worn by Jian Mingyue stacked on the wooden box. Cui Tao smelled them a little closer, but she didn't smell Marika on the clothes, but she found that one of the clothes had a lot of holes the size of thick needle eyes.

There is something interesting about Mo Lixiang.Cui Tao remembered that when she saw Mingyue last time, she didn't smell Marika on her body, but she smelled it on shopkeeper Yu and his wife Pan.

Cui Tao asked Li Cai to go to the rice shop now to find the clothes worn by Chen Shanming, and to confirm whether there is also Mo Lixiang.

Wang Siniang shook off the cloak she had just extinguished with tea as much as possible, wiped off the water stains on it, and brought it to find Cui Tao.

Chen Shanming, who was far away from the stage just now, happened suddenly, and moved quickly on the stage. Everyone only noticed the sudden appearance of many butterflies shaking their wings, but they really didn't have time to notice where these butterflies came from.

Now seeing the unfinished cloak, everyone finally understood what was going on.

The surface of this black cloak is very mysterious. If you look closely, you will find that there are many black 'scales' on it. Each 'scale' is connected to a black fishing line. When these fishing lines are pulled up, the 'scales' will They will all be opened to reveal the realistic paper butterfly inside. If you grab the fishing line and shake it, the effect will be more like a real butterfly landing on it and spreading its wings.

"It turns out that this is why they have butterflies all over their bodies." Ping'er was amazed, "When I saw it, I really thought it was mysterious, but now I see through it, and I suddenly realize that it is nothing more than that."

"This is a trick. People are in awe of the mystery that cannot be guessed, so this trick must be kept secret, and it must not be exposed."

Cui Tao went to the stage again. On the left and right sides of the stage, there were two pieces of red cloth, each with the same mechanism design as the cloak, "pull the scales and a butterfly will appear". These "scales" are also It is connected by fishing line, but the fishing line close to the red cloth is red, so it has the effect of hiding on the surface of the red cloth.

Above the stage are criss-crossed bamboo poles. These bamboo poles seem to be convenient for hanging lanterns and red cloths, but in fact they are also useful for hanging fishing lines.

Now these bamboo poles are more or less entangled with some black fishing lines, but these fishing lines are already very messy, and it is not clear where the original direction of these fishing lines is.The stage is made of pitch-black wooden boards, and it can be seen that some black fishing lines are scattered on these wooden boards.

Cui Tao picked up a few fishing lines from the ground and pulled them, only to find that some other fishing lines were retracting, as if someone was pulling them away at the other end.Following the fishing line, I found several take-up spools under the protruding wooden boards on the edge of the stage.When you fix one place and pull the line in the other direction of the take-up spool, the take-up spool will be tightened, and then let go, and the take-up spool will rotate in the opposite direction to achieve the purpose of winding the fishing line in the other direction.

Cui Tao probably understood the mechanism design of Jian Mingyue's Magic Butterfly Art.First pull a fishing line to make the butterflies 'fly' to her body, then let go, and these butterflies will be quickly taken away by the force of the take-up spool.

As for the butterflies dormant on the red cloth, how did they fly out from under the 'scales' and land on Jian Mingyue? Jian Mingyue's own clothes must have a threading mechanism. I think about the cloth I found in her room before. The clothes full of thick needle eyes are the clothes she wears when performing the magic butterfly.

Generally speaking, this is a very complicated setup. Compared with Chen Shanming's previous version of the cape fantasy butterfly, the version that Jian Mingyue will perform on the stage is more shocking.

There is a hidden compartment on the stage where Jian Mingyue was standing just now, which can make her fall from the stage to hide, which also explains why people disappear after the butterfly flies away.

"My God, there are so many lines, like spider webs, how can you not see them under the stage?" Wang Siniang couldn't believe it when she saw these lines on the stage, she hadn't seen any of them off stage before.

"Because the lanterns on the upper front of the stage are bright, and it is night, it is very difficult to observe the fishing lines on the stage from the front of the stage. In addition, during the performance, everyone will concentrate on the people, so it is even more difficult to find these small mechanisms. gone."

Han Qi has been standing in the corner of the stage with his hands behind his back, silently observing the situation on the stage.

Han Zong was interesting. He sat motionless at the table where he was supposed to watch the play, with shopkeeper Yu from Zaqulou kneeling at his feet, trembling as if he was very scared.Han Zong ignored him, but concentrated on peeling and eating the plate of five-spice peanuts on the table, seeming to enjoy it.

After shopkeeper Yu begged Han Zong for mercy many times but failed to respond, he kowtowed in Han Qi's direction to make amends.He explained that he really didn't know what happened just now, and he didn't know that Jian Mingyue was actually related to Chen Shanming, the most wanted criminal in Kaifeng Mansion.

Han Qi ignored him.

The shopkeeper Yu had no choice but to kneel on the ground miserably, trembling silently, and whimpering in a low voice of grievance.You must make a sound, so that he can attract attention, these will not keep him ignored, right?

At this time, Han Qi suddenly made a sound.

"Jian Mingyue's Phantom Butterfly has failed."

Han Zong, who was leisurely peeling the peanut shells, suddenly stopped and looked at Han Qi.

Wang Siniang, Wang Zhao, Ping'er and others also looked at him in puzzlement.

"Yes, she failed." Cui Tao echoed Han Qi's words, "I guess she raised her arms twice to intentionally pull the fishing line to touch the 'Phantom Butterfly' mechanism, but no butterfly flew out. The appearance of Chen Shanming She was very surprised. When I saw Chen Shanming protecting her under the cloak, she pushed Chen Shanming, presumably to blame Chen Shanming. It is likely that she realized that her magic butterfly would fail, and it was Chen Shanming who did it. hands and feet."

Cui Tao then asked Han Zong, who had seen the performance of Huan Die, if Jian Mingyue ever raised her arms when performing Huan Die for them.

Han Zong recalled, nodded and agreed, "But why does Chen Shanming have anything to do with Jian Mingyue?"

Han Zong didn't forget to throw two more peanuts into the mouth after he finished asking.

"I don't know. If you know, you don't need to look it up." Cui Tao jumped off the stage and looked at shopkeeper Yu who was still kneeling, "Maybe he knows."

Shopkeeper Yu hurriedly shook his head to explain that he didn't know.

Cui Tao looked over to Pan's who was leaning against the door frame and watching them from afar.

"If you don't know anything, why are you so guilty and apologetic, and keep kneeling down. Look at your wife, why haven't you seen her like this?" Cui Tao asked back.

Shopkeeper Yu was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at where Mrs. Pan was.

Immediately, Pan raised her head to look back at the shopkeeper, and let out a slight snort.

Shopkeeper Yu sighed, and hurriedly apologized to Cui Tao again, "My wife has a childish temper, ignorant, let alone understanding of the world, it's all my fault for spoiling her."

Han Zong at the side listened to shopkeeper Yu's words, and hurriedly nodded in agreement with a 'huh'.It's probably because he saw shopkeeper Yu catching rape with his own eyes before, and he can still endure such a woman by his side. He thinks that he is really 'extraordinary'. If he is like this, what else can he use if he doesn't use 'favor' to explain it?

Cui Tao beckoned to Pan, and Pan walked over.

Pan's gaze casually glanced at everyone present, and asked Cui Tao why she was looking for her.

Han Zong sneered, "You are being rude."

Pan's saluted hastily, and said to Cui Tao again: "I don't know why the officials called the slave's house?"

"The scent on your body is very good." Cui Tao leaned over to Pan's side, suddenly leaned over and nodded, and smelled Pan's shoulder and neck.

Everyone: "..."

If they didn't know that Cui Tao was a woman, they really felt that Cui Tao's actions were molesting married women in public.

Shopkeeper Yu was stunned when he saw this.

"Thank you for your appreciation. If you like it, I can give some of my homemade incense." Pan's attitude was more serious than before, and she seemed very happy that Cui Tao knew the goods.

"You made it yourself? There's no such scent anywhere else?" Cui Tao asked for confirmation.

Pan promised.

Cui Tao mysteriously took Pan to another place to talk.

"In fact, I didn't intend to ask about Mrs. Pan's private affairs, but since it's related to the case, I had no choice but to ask Mrs. Pan. But don't worry, I won't spread this matter when it's not necessary, and try my best not to affect Pan. Lady's reputation."

Hearing what Cui Tao said, Mrs. Pan naturally understood what she wanted to ask, and snorted, "I don't care, whether I'm dead or alive, that's all. That's all. Please feel free to ask the officials if you have anything to say."

Cui Tao then asked about the identities of Pan's adulterers, and how many of them are still in contact with each other.Cui Tao did not forget to explain that the reason why she asked "several names" was entirely out of rigorous considerations in the investigation of the case, and hoped that Mrs. Pan would not mind.

Seeing that Cui Tao asked her in such a private way, Pan Shi was willing to explain so much, so she naturally understood that Cui Tao had good intentions.Otherwise, as a member of the government, if she scolded her in front of everyone, what would she do?

"Just one person, who was beaten away by Yu yesterday. He was originally playing the roof tank in Zaqulou."

Immediately, Pan told Cui Tao that his name was Zhang Shuqing, and he was staying at the Wutong Inn.

Cui Tao continued to look at Pan with doubts.

Pan frowned, and explained: "After he ran away, he sent someone to send me a message, but I haven't had time to go."

Cui Tao thanked Pan, and immediately asked Wang Zhao to send someone to investigate Zhang Shuqing, to know what he did today, and whether he had a chance to come to Zaqulou to meet Jian Mingyue.

After half an hour, Wang Zhao made a clear investigation and returned to report.

Zhang Shuqing spent the whole day in the gambling house in the west of the city today, and there were many people in the gambling shop who could testify for him, which meant that it was impossible for Zhang Shuqing to have time to come to Zaqulou today.

Therefore, Cui Tao's suspicious eyes only lingered on the shopkeeper.

The Miscellaneous Fun Building recruits people who can perform miscellaneous fun all over the world. After passing the assessment, they will work under the name of the shopkeeper to make money under the employment relationship agreed in the contract. Jian Mingyue is one of them.

To put it simply, the performance of the Moon Phantom Butterfly Art requires the face-to-face cooperation of the stage and many props.Before the performance, Cui Tao asked to see Jian Mingyue, but Pan said that Jian Mingyue didn't like being disturbed by outsiders when preparing for the performance, and shopkeeper Yu had expressed similarly.In other words, Jian Mingyue is very wary of outsiders, for fear that others will steal the secret of her magic butterfly technique.

But this made Cui Tao very curious. As the shopkeeper of Zaqulou, did shopkeeper Yu ever covet Jian Mingyue's magic butterfly technique?

"No, no, absolutely not." Shopkeeper Yu waved his hands again and again, and swore to the sky that if he did something to steal, he would be struck to death by lightning.

"This is strange. Shopkeeper Yu is a businessman, and it is inevitable that he will be heavy on profits. Not long after Jian Mingyue came to Zaqulou, Zhou Xuan and Zhang Luo, shopkeepers of Yu, gained a good reputation in Bianjing. Shopkeeper Yu is not worried about her. With a big reputation, start a new stove and fight against shopkeeper Yu?" Cui Tao asked sharply.

Shopkeeper Yu smiled and repeatedly denied: "Business is all about honesty and honesty. Now that you have signed the contract, there is no reason to bully others. Her ability to make money is her ability, how can I stop it?"

"Yes, shopkeeper Yu takes good care of him." Mrs. Pan agreed with a sarcasm.

Shopkeeper Yu hurriedly scolded Mrs. Pan not to be rude and talk nonsense.

Pan snorted, but didn't say anything after all.

"Then the layout of the stage, these fishing lines, and the red cloth from which butterflies can fly out, are all handled by Jian Mingyue alone?" Cui Tao asked.

Shopkeeper Yu promised, "We will provide her with whatever she wants, but how to make these things and how to connect them with fishing lines is all done by herself, and I will send someone to clear the place, so that she is afraid of being learned by outsiders. "

"The shopkeeper Yu is too kind." Cui Tao sighed with a smile.

Shopkeeper Yu straightened his chest, and said to Cui Tao in a rather proud tone: "If you want to do business in a serious and long-term way, you have to do this. Otherwise, craftsmen in the world will come to my Zaqulou because of their reputation!"

"It sounds like shopkeeper Yu is really a kind person." Cui Tao sighed again.

Han Zong nodded in agreement, feeling that whatever Cui Tao said was right now.After witnessing Cui Tao's performance during the investigation, Han Zong now looked at Cui Tao with sparkling appreciation.I really don't understand how her beautiful little head hides so much wisdom and sees through so many things?

As expected, she was the woman Han Zong had his eyes on, and she was even more powerful and attractive with amnesia than without amnesia!Han Zong's eyes were almost glued to Cui Tao's body.

Hearing Han Zong and Cui Tao's affirmation and praise for him, shopkeeper Yu laughed happily and thanked him very politely.

At this time, Han Qi raised one corner of his mouth silently, and when he looked at the shopkeeper, his eyes were calm and sharp.

"Such a kind shopkeeper Yu, knowing the identities of me and Han Erlang, is not willing to give us a sip of the best tea." Cui Tao changed the topic, and the shopkeeper Yu's face suddenly turned pale, and he didn't know the cold sweat How did it ooze from his forehead so quickly.

It was only then that Han Zong realized that Cui Taocai's so-called "exaggeration" was just teasing the shopkeeper, and he couldn't help thinking about the shopkeeper who had neglected them with tea before.He didn't care about it at first, but now after hearing shopkeeper Yu boasting about his kindness there, and then hearing that Cui Tao was not kind to him, Han Zong felt that shopkeeper Yu deserved a beating, so he lifted his foot and kicked shopkeeper Yu .

The shopkeeper Yu was lying on the ground in a panic, he wanted to try to quibble, but when he looked up, he saw Han Qi who was not far away and looked at him coldly with his hands behind his back. It was too scary, and those eyes seemed to see through everything .

Shopkeeper Yu was so frightened that he trembled all over, pleaded guilty again and again, and then admitted that he was indeed a bit coveted.

"What do you want to covet? Is it a human being or the art of the butterfly illusion?" Cui Tao asked probingly.

Shopkeeper Yu closed his eyes, and obediently admitted: "It's a man, it's a man! The villain has an affair with Jian Mingyue!"

At this moment, Wang Siniang, Wang Zhao, Ping'er and the others suddenly understood why Cui Tao had been obsessed with the question of whether the shopkeeper was honest in doing business, and clearly felt that those things had nothing to do with this case.It turned out that something happened here!

It's amazing, how did Mrs. Cui find out that the shopkeeper Yu had an affair with Jian Mingyue?Fairy!Fortune teller!Simply omnipotent!

Shopkeeper Yu immediately explained how he had an affair with Jian Mingyue.When Jian Mingyue went to Zaqulou to look for him ten days ago, shopkeeper Yu thought she was pretty, so when Jian Mingyue asked to keep it secret, he tried his best to satisfy all her requests and let her see him sincerity.After going back and forth like this for two days, there was an adultery.

In fact, shopkeeper Yu is not without selfishness, but now he is having a good time with Jian Mingyue, so he has no other thoughts for the time being, and everything is at the mercy of Jian Mingyue.

Over there, after listening to shopkeeper Yu's confession, Mrs. Pan sneered again and again, then saluted Cui Tao and Han Qi and asked for resignation.

"I really feel that my ears are too dirty. I want to go back to my room and wash them off."

Han Qi nodded, agreeing.

As soon as Mrs. Pan left, shopkeeper Yu wept bitterly, deeply repenting for his mistakes.

"But I really don't know that this bitch is having an affair with Chen Shanming. If I knew, I wouldn't keep her no matter whether she is dedicated or not, or whether she knows the magic butterfly technique!"

"Why did she sacrifice herself, obviously you coveted her first and wanted to have adultery with her? Now you call her a slut, are you noble?" Cui Tao asked pretendingly puzzled.

Shopkeeper Yu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that Han Zong beside him was staring at him with extremely vicious eyes. He was trembling all over, knowing that if he offended this noble person, there would be no good fruit to eat, so he might as well just do it now. Shameless, pretend to be a grandson obediently.

Shopkeeper Yu listened and slapped himself, scolding himself, "I'm cheap too, I'm cheap, I'm cheap..."

Cui Tao didn't bother to care about shopkeeper Yu anymore, she said to Han Qi with a serious face: "Chen Shanming may not have known about Jian Mingyue's affair with shopkeeper Yu. He appeared suddenly today, which was beyond Jian Mingyue's expectation. Broke Jian Mingyue's magic butterfly mechanism—"

"Are you worried that Jian Mingyue will die too?" Han Qi directly expressed Cui Tao's thoughts.

Cui Tao nodded heavily.

"Portraits are wanted." Han Qi ordered, and Wang Zhao and others immediately took the order and carried out a city-wide martial law search.

Cui Tao also contributed personally, drawing the two most similar portraits of Chen Shanming and Jian Mingyue.Afterwards, the painters in the Kaifeng mansion all painted according to Cui Tao's two paintings, and they couldn't help being amazed when they painted.

At noon the next day, Cui Tao heard from Zhang Chang that Han Qi was too busy with official duties to have time to eat, "I guess he will be free after a while, rest for a while, drink a cup of tea at most, and he must be busy again."

It was only then that Cui Tao learned that Judge Wang was sick again and asked for leave, so Judge Wang's job of supervising the payment of grain taxes now fell on Han Qi.This kind of work involving money and food accounts is naturally tedious, time-consuming and energy-consuming.

"The serious food was put on the table, but there was no time to eat it. I prepared some snacks, but I didn't see him move." Zhang Chang continued.

Cui Tao felt that when Han Qi was busy, he would eat snacks to satisfy his hunger. Although it was convenient, it was easy to get tired of eating because of the simple taste.

Cui Tao made yellow bird rolls and sent them to Han Qi. There are two ways, one is steamed and the other is deep-fried.

The three-inch-long oriole roll is wrapped with a thin dough wrapping breast meat and fragrant and delicious shepherd's purse. The two ends of the dough are pinched and steamed for a while. Basically, two bites are oil-free and refreshing. It is very convenient to use. .

The deep-fried yellow bird rolls should be coated with batter on the outside of the dough, and then coated with a layer of steamed bun residue and deep-fried, the taste is more crispy.The two flavors have their own characteristics, and it would be boring to have to choose which one to eat. Adults don’t have to choose, of course they want all of them.This mouthful of steaming, that mouthful of deep-fried, enjoy the blessings of all people.

Han Qi never expected that while he was eating the oriole rolls, he would still be able to hear Cui Tao talk about the saying of "the blessings of the people of Qi".

Can't help but think of what Cui Tao tried so hard to say to him after he came out of the porridge shop yesterday, what a good sister and kind...

Han Qi put down his chopsticks, and Cui Tao immediately brought a bowl of sour pear, white fungus and lotus seed soup to Han Qi.

"Marrying a wife is not like eating vegetables."

Cui Tao first heard Han Qi say such a sudden sentence, but didn't react for a while, and looked at him suspiciously.

"I also have virtue, and I value love and righteousness."

Han Qi picked up the bowl, took a mouthful of sour pear, white fungus and lotus seed soup with a spoon, and put it into his mouth.The way he ate with downcast eyes was focused and serious, like an obedient child.

After a moment of silence in the room, the woman suddenly heard a 'puchi' laugh.

Han Qi put down the empty bowl and looked at Cui Tao.

"Officer Han can still praise himself like this!" Cui Tao exclaimed.

"It's not as good as Mrs. Cui, and I still need to learn." Han Qi took Cui Tao's 'sneer' indifferently, and humbly sought progress as a devout scholar.

Cui Tao blinked her eyes twice, lowered the corners of her mouth, suppressed a smile and sat across from Han Qi, raised her hand to clean up the dishes on the table.But Han Qi stretched out his slender jade-like hands one step ahead of her, put the bowls and chopsticks neatly into the tray, and thanked Cui Tao softly.

"Although I am no longer guilty, my life experience is still troublesome." Cui Tao held her chin and let out a long "hmm" sound, as if feeling that her life experience was too difficult to solve, "So some things still need to be solved. premature."

"Take the initiative to ask, and get the answer, it's too early." Han Qi stared at Cui Tao lightly, his eyes were calm, and his tone was even, "Very good."

Observing Han Qi's reaction, I really can't see any emotional fluctuations in him, but the word 'very good' has clearly shown his temper.

As smart as he is, he naturally knows that her so-called problems are just excuses.What problems will a person who is good at everything have?Even if there is, with the addition of him, there will be no more.

"Angry?" Cui Tao hurriedly asked.

Han Qi stood up neatly, went to the desk to organize the files, with his back to Cui Tao.

"Are you really angry?" Cui Tao chased after Han Qi, and tilted her head to look at Han Qi.Seeing him lowering his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly, pretending to be serious about arranging the books, he is really cute.Smart people are angry and cute again, which is more attractive than ever.

"Don't be angry, I didn't keep the door open and talked nonsense. But it's really not the right time, it's too early, we still need to get along."

Cui Tao pinched Han Qi's sleeve with two fingers, and carefully tugged it twice. When she looked up at him for a second, there was a pitiful little look in her eyes of "I know I was wrong", which was very cute.

Han Qi only intended to take a look at Cui Tao, but couldn't look away.The person in front of you suddenly boldly grabbed his arm, then tiptoed suddenly, two soft lips brushed past his left face, like a dragonfly on water, you were caught off guard before you had time to grasp this feeling, but It has ended.But he could clearly smell the sweetness of her body, see her trembling eyelashes like butterfly wings, and the playful corners of her mouth, which are full of ghostly and clever origins, but they are so seductive that they don't know it.

Han Qi's dark eyes were full of undercurrents, he tried his best to restrain himself, calmly looked at Cui Tao who was smiling at him, and asked her in a hoarse voice: "Do you like me?"

"Why do you ask like this? Isn't it obvious enough?" Cui Tao lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers, and found that Han Qi was more difficult to handle than she imagined.

It's too obvious, obviously I haven't seen you care about it before.

But Han Qi would not say these words.

His throat moved slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said to Cui Tao: "The rock never moves, you go and see."

Cui Tao was stunned for a moment, and seemed to sense that Han Qi had seen through something from this sentence.She nodded her head obediently, and looked up at Han Qi with crooked smiling eyes. She really had a face as bright as the bright moon, and she was unparalleled.

Only then did Han Qi raise his hand to straighten Cui Tao's hair on the sideburns, but then his hand didn't come down, and after hanging there for a while, he lightly landed on Cui Tao's cheek and stroked it gently.

Really gentle, restrained, and self-sustaining!

Cui Tao pursed her lips and poked Han Qi's chest with her fingers. The cold sandalwood scent on his body smelled good. He looked slender, but when he met him in Tianxianglou last time, he felt that his figure should be There is material.This poke, with a full sense of firmness, made Cui Tao's mind produce a waste picture. I don't know what will happen if I take it off?

How about taking off now-

When Cui Tao was distracted, Han Qi took advantage of her fingers.

"Oh, I suddenly feel a little unwilling." Cui Tao sighed.

"What?" Han Qi stared at Cui Tao seriously, thinking that she would regret it so soon.

"It's my initiative today, it's not right. As the saying goes, 'A gentleman is a good lady'. You, gentleman," Cui Tao pulled out the finger that was held by Han Qi just now, pointed at Han Qi, and then pointed at Han Qi. Himself, "Come and beg me."

"That's not what the original words meant." Han Qi laughed uncontrollably.

Of course Cui Tao knew the meaning of the original words, which meant that a beautiful woman is a good spouse of a gentleman.

"But when it comes to me, it's just 'please'. I don't care, I don't study much, so I understand it that way." Cui Tao and Han Qi joked.

"Yeah." Han Qi smiled again and asked Cui Tao to wait.

Cui Tao saw that Han Qi looked at her with affection, and she was a little contented. When she was thinking about rewarding him, she heard footsteps outside the door.

Cui Tao immediately backed away from Han Qi, pretending to pick up the tray on the table.

Zhang Changxian outside the door announced that Wang Zhao was coming, and brought tea into the house, and also led Wang Zhao in by the way.

Seeing that Cui Tao was there, Wang Zhao sighed, "Just right".

Cui Tao hurriedly asked Wang Zhao: "Have you found any clues about Chen Shanming and Jian Mingyue?"

Wang Zhao shook his head, indicating that Chen Shanming had no clue, "But Yuan Feng's father is here."

Yuan Feng's father?Cui Tao remembered that Yuan Feng's father was in Suizhou. Although Han Qi had already sent government officials to Suizhou to find Yuan's father, it had only been three or four days. It would take at least ten days to travel from Suizhou to Kaifeng mansion, let alone Yuan's old age. Definitely not going too fast.How could this person come so soon?

Cui Tao and Han Qi glanced at each other, feeling something strange.

The two then met Yuan Che, Yuan Feng's father. The old man was middle-aged, but he looked nearly [-] years old. It can be seen that he used to live a hard life and worked hard.Ouyang Xiu came with him, his face full of sadness and worry.

After Yuan Che greeted Han Qi, his voice trembled, and he asked excitedly if it was true, "Feng'er has already..."

Han Qi agreed.

Yuan Che burst into tears, his mouth was wide open, his face was flushed, he curled up from the chair until his body became weak, and then fell directly to the ground.Ouyang Xiu rushed to help the old man, but it was useless to comfort the old man several times.

More than ten years of hard study in the cold window cost the old father a lot of hard work, and he finally won the Jinshi. He should be proud of his only son and feel that he has finally come to the end and can wait for his son to honor him. , people died!

"How did this happen, how did this happen! Why? God, why did you do this to me, Yuan Che!" Yuan Che beat his chest and cried bitterly, shouting angrily at the sky.

After half a stick of incense, he finally comforted Yuan Che to feel better, and Yuan Che proposed to see Yuan Feng for the last time with his own eyes.After seeing the condition of Yuan Feng's corpse, Yuan Che beat the ground and cried again.

An hour later, Yuan Che finally got better, and finally he was no longer so excited.During this period, he had fainted twice, but fortunately, Cui Tao gave him an injection, which relieved the situation in time.

In my opinion, the old man's situation is that it is not good to ask him about Yuan Feng's case today, but Yuan Che insists that he can.

"I want to catch the murderer who hurt Feng'er as soon as possible! Madam Cui, if you have anything to say, just ask, I can stand it."

Cui Tao first asked Jian Mingyue's father to buy and sell the Magic Butterfly Art back then, and Yuan Che nodded to confirm that the situation was true.At that time, it was because of the difficult situation in his family that he had to sell his ancestral magic butterfly technique.

"One is that I don't want to do juggling, and the other is that I don't want my son to be like this. It is reasonable to say that it is something left by the ancestors, and it should not be sold if it is not used, but it is the only way to survive." Yuan Che Regretted, "Perhaps it was because of this that Feng'er was punished! It's all my fault, blame me!"

"This case is most likely revenge. No matter whether it is sold or not, I'm afraid it will not delay the murderer's action." Cui Tao asked Yuan Che again if he knew how the Yuan family ancestor obtained the magic butterfly technique.

Yuan Che's eyes flickered, and he shook his head in embarrassment, indicating that he didn't know either.

Cui Tao and others could see that Yuan Che was hiding something, but because of Yuan Che's current physical condition, it was not easy to force him too much.

Han Qi motioned for Ouyang Xiu to come.At this time, only Ouyang Xiu, who is familiar and close to Yuan Che, can persuade him.

"Uncle, Brother Yuan's death was so tragic! The murderer didn't even leave Brother Yuan's body! He also cut his body into pieces and threw it on the street casually, how vicious and cruel!

If the uncle wanted to avenge him, he had to tell the government office, who on earth had a grudge with the Yuan family, who hated him so much that he killed someone and even sacrificed his head? "Ouyang Xiu gently persuaded Yuan Che, asking him not to hesitate any longer.

Yuan Che still hesitated and dared not speak.

At this moment, Han Qi suddenly said: "At such an age, what is there to be afraid of after losing your only son?"

The implication is that Yuan Che has nothing to lose, so what is there to worry about?

Provoked by Han Qi's words, Yuan Che finally confessed everything.

"The Butterfly Illusion Art was passed down from our Yuan family's ancestors. I really don't know how it was passed down. When I was young, my father was still in charge of the supervisor, and the family situation was quite prominent. I was young and frivolous, and often followed some Husbands and dogs hang out together, causing trouble on the street.

One day, a one-armed man stopped my way and begged me to return their Chen family's Magic Butterfly Technique.Left and right, our Yuan family is well-developed, and we don't need that kind of humble illusion.Naturally, I know that my family has this handicraft handed down from their ancestors, and the people in Yuan's parents' house even got tattoos on their arms for this reason.

But I couldn't think about it at the time, it was obviously something inherited from our family, how could it be counted as theirs, and dare to come to be cheeky and ask for it?Seeing that the man was overthinking himself, I pretended to agree to him, and then dug a trap at the agreed place, intending to teach him a lesson.I didn't go to the appointment that day, and I didn't worry about it after that, until I heard my father tell a murder case three days later, a one-armed man fell to his death in a trap pit.When I asked about the location of the corpse, it was the place where I met the one-armed man. "

Yuan Che didn't dare to speak out about this matter. After waiting for a few days, seeing that the matter went by like this, after a period of anxiety, he kept this matter to the bottom of his heart and never mentioned it to anyone.

"But I will never forget this matter for the rest of my life. I killed that person."

Yuan Che burst into tears as he spoke, beating his chest and shouting that even if he took revenge, he should be the one who died, why did he kill his son.

Han Qi asked Yuan Che again why he came to Bianjing at this time.

"Half a month ago, Feng'er entrusted someone to tell me that he will definitely be in high school this time, and he wants to come to Bianjing to enjoy happiness with him."

Ouyang Xiu wondered: "No, the list was not released half a month ago. Before the list was released, Brother Yuan was always worried that he would not be able to go to high school, but he never had Chen Zhu's confidence that he could."

When asked Yuan Che who the messenger was, he turned out to be a complete stranger, and he sent the letter verbally, and there was no Yuan Feng's own handwriting to prove it.At that time, Yuan Che heard that his son would be able to enter high school, so he didn't think too much about it. He just wanted to be happy and prepared to come to Beijing.

"This Chen Shanming presumably is a descendant of the one-armed man, and he knew the truth about your murder. He came to avenge the one-armed man when he grew up. But he deliberately didn't kill you, probably because he wanted you to realize that life is worse than death." The pain of bereavement." Cui Tao analyzed.

At this time, Li Yuan hurried in with a solemn expression, and reported to Han Qi: "There are corpses on the street again."
