It was cloudy in the afternoon, but there was no rain but the wind was howling. After all, it was the weather in the mountains, and it was cool.

He Yao didn't bring anything with her this trip, she searched around in the ancestral hall, but couldn't find anything useful, and was in a hurry, so she had to ask Re Huan to accompany her, and the two of them went to Si's house to borrow first.

It is only one mile away from Si's house, and we will arrive soon. Si's house is the most luxurious in the village in terms of size and shape, especially with double eaves and steps, which is enough to tell the identity of her family in the village. Not low either.

After knocking on the door three times, someone came out to answer the door immediately. It was Si Qing, who was wearing an apron and making candles in the courtyard.

Thick slurry was rolling in the wax pool, large and small candles were placed in the corridor next to it, and some candles to be dyed were hung upside down next to the fuel.

She did it alone and no one helped her.Si's house was empty and deserted.

Seeing that it was them, Si Qing hurriedly wiped her hands and greeted them with a smile, "Please come in, please come in."

"Excuse me, may I ask if you have the Four Treasures of the Study at home, as well as larger rice paper? I can use it." He Yao hurriedly returned the gift and said what he wanted.

But it would be impolite to ask someone for something while standing at the door, so the two hurried in.

Si Qing closed the door and led them home, "There are some, there are some in my father's study."

Si Qing took them there. Si's house was too big, the eaves were thick and the eaves were too thick to see the sun, and it was a bit damp. Si Qing held up a candle to illuminate the two of them. After walking for a while, they arrived at the study.

The study room was very spacious, with a lot of books, and there was a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table. Si Qing lit the candlesticks and packed things for He Yao.

Re Huan walked around the study room, and found a thick book between the books, which was full of dust, which seemed out of place in this clean study room.Curiously, he pulled it out, opened it, and looked at a piece of "Three days in the 15th year of Emperor Zhao. Today is the day when the construction of the imperial mausoleum starts. Your Majesty ordered me to supervise it. It will take ten years to recruit [-] people to build the mausoleum." built..."

"Don't touch it..." Si Qing turned her head and saw that Re Huan was holding the thing, she hurried forward to snatch it back, and put it away respectfully.

"It was left by my ancestors, I'm sorry." Si Qing nodded and apologized.

Re Huan was taken aback by her actions and tone, and hurriedly waved her hands, "It's my fault."

Seeing that Si Qing was still holding the candlestick in his hand, she couldn't help but want to change the subject, "This candlestick is so beautiful."

Si Qing nodded, "Min Rong gave it to me."

"Dragon and Phoenix Candlestick, did he give it to you?" Re Huan looked at the things engraved on the candlestick, and suddenly touched his body. It's over, the things Yuan Ting put on her and haven't taken back are gone!It seems to be something that dragon and phoenix are intertwined.

"It's all old stuff, don't mention it, did you find out something? Did you find evidence to help Min Rong reverse the case?"

"The evidence has not been found yet, but we found that your village seems to have a lot of secrets, and you are unwilling to reveal it. I want to ask you and you will not reveal it. We have to investigate first. We really have to ask your elders to come forward. !” He Yao said.

"What secrets can our village have?" Si Qing shook her head.

"It's nothing, let's go first." He Yan guessed that Si Qing would not say anything, so he dragged Ji Huan to leave.

"Hey, is that Miss He? Jian Min and the others invited you here to reverse Min Rong's case, not to dig out the past of our village. If you can not tell, please put the secrets you know in in stomach."

"If it's possible, I hope that Yuan Xi didn't take this case at that time. She didn't expect the difficulty, and I didn't expect the complexity! Now that we have jumped in, whether you know the secret of the village or not, we You have to investigate, Min Rong's matter may not be that simple, if you don't want him to be wronged, you'd better cooperate with us!" He Yao turned around and said to Si Qing.

"What secrets can our village have? Isn't it the descendants of the craftsmen of the previous dynasty? It's not that dynasty now! Does the court still want to hunt us down and kill us all?" Are we afraid that we will reveal the secrets of the imperial mausoleum?Do you know where the imperial mausoleum was built?Built at the bottom of the lake, it is impossible for you to get in! " Si Qing said coldly.

"Emperor Zhao's Mausoleum? Isn't it built outside Fengyang Mansion?"

"That's what the history books say, so let's just listen to it. In short, Min Rong's time is numbered. Please, don't make any more troubles?" Si Qing said with a sigh.

"If you don't want us to be so troublesome, just tell me, what happened to your village? Why is the village built like a big tomb? Your home is located in the main coffin room in the big tomb, which means that the owner of the whole tomb is located. Location, it can be seen that your family is the authority in the village, and I would not force you if you didn’t tell me, but since you asked me to only investigate Min Rong’s case, well, let me ask you, why did Xiao Yue die? Why did Min Rong Want to kill her? As the first person who saw the scene, you are the most suspicious. Why is Min Rong arrested, but you are fine?

"So you suspect that I killed Xiao Yue?"

"Women are jealous of men, why not? I heard that Min Rong and Xiao Yue have a very good relationship. Who told you to introduce Xiao Yue to Min Rong? Don't you hold a grudge when your friend robs you of a man? Tell me, who will believe it!" He Yao said quickly.

"I hate Xiao Yue! I can't wait for her to die! So she died, I'm happy! I'm really happy! But it doesn't mean I'm the murderer! I thought that I and that female officer should be very intelligent people, so it's not! Check You want to pull me into the trap if you don't reach the murderer?"

"I'm just telling the truth. You were the first to see the scene. No one knows what you did before that. Since Min Rong loves his wife, how can he kill the killer? Only you, see Min Rong and her affection lingering in your heart Out of jealousy, I came here to quarrel with Xiao Yue, and accidentally killed her!"

"Okay! Even if what you said is true, no one found the murder weapon from the beginning to the end that day! Excuse me, what method did I use to kill Xiao Yue?"

"In late October, the mountains have already started to snow, the dripping water turns into ice, and the popsicles under the eaves are sharp. If you want to kill Xiao Yue, break off the ice pick and kill Xiao Yue. Do you think it is possible?" He Yao said with narrowed eyes.

"Ice killing? Yes! I also told you that there are several other methods. Freezing meat, even buckets can be frozen into ice lumps, and wrapping ice lumps in a brocade handkerchief to smash her to death. These can kill people silently and invisible. There is no murder weapon. Also, bones, I can sharpen them with pork bones and beef bones, put them in my sleeve and bring them in. After killing Xiao Yue, throw the bones out of the wall and let the dogs come over to eat them. !” Si Qing said without blinking.

Now that she said it, He Yan had to weigh it carefully. It is true that what she said was possible, but if the suspect said it like this, then it must not be using these methods.

"If it's really that simple, would I still use you guys to help Min Rong reverse the case? Xiao Yue's death is so strange that even Min Rong will go with her. Min Rong has never liked me. Since we are so reluctant to be together, why do I still Do you want to force a person who doesn't love you to be with you for the rest of your life? Min Xian is infatuated with me, why can't I let go of Min Rong and love Min Xian?" Si Qing kept shaking her head as she said.

"Then why did you go to other people's couple's house in the middle of the night?"

"That day, it's strange to say that day, Xiao Yue and I didn't speak for a long time, she suddenly came to my house and said to me, since we are going to be sisters-in-law, we should live together peacefully, what happened before is her fault, please pray I forgive, although I hate her for taking Min Rong away, she is the one who let me see whether Min Rong really has me in her heart. After struggling for a long time, I forgive her. She chatted with me about some homework and gave me a bag of things , told me to leave this thing with me first. I thought she was abnormal at the time, so I opened the thing after she left to see, it was a bag of scattered silver taels, and there was a note in it, saying please take good care of Min Rong. I was naturally restless, so I went to find them. There are not many people in our village, and we used to stay open at night before, so I didn’t see anyone else when I went in. When I walked outside Min Rong’s house, I saw the door was closed. When I opened it, I was scared He cried out, and not long after, other people arrived, and the family made a noise in the middle of the night, so the villagers would come out to watch, but unexpectedly, there happened to be a yamen servant, seeing the situation, they directly tied Min Rong back." Si Qing recalled clearly.

"You said Xiao Yue gave you money? Did you use it?"

"Well, I took it out to save Min Rongquan, about 50 taels." Si Qing nodded.

"She didn't give it to you, what else?" He Yan asked unwillingly.

"No, the silver was also carried in a piece of cloth, I didn't look carefully."

"Can you show me the cloth?" He Yao begged Si Qing.

Si Qing immediately stood up, scratched her head, and finally remembered, hurriedly let the two sit down, went back to the room by herself, and came over with a folded piece of fabric after a while.

He Yao hurriedly took it over, unfolded it to have a look, and smelled it, but didn't find anything unusual, so he had to fold it up and put it in his sleeve.

Seeing that it was almost the same as what Si Qing had said, he stood up and asked to resign.

After sending the two of them to the door, Si Qing said, "I'll send dinner there later, I hope there will be an idea by then."

He Yao nodded, and went back to the ancestral hall with Re Huan.
