Yun Ting anecdotes

Chapter 25 Chapter 25

Many people went to fight the fire with buckets - Liu's house was built near a wide stream, so it was not difficult to get water.Mu Ruyu embraced Chunyu Yelai and jumped out of the window.

There is some distance between Liu’s house and Cuizhu City, and in the middle of the night, most of the residents in Cuizhu City are sleeping peacefully. When there is a shift or someone else inadvertently finds that Liu’s house is on fire, it’s not just the fire. when.

Didn't anyone in Liu's house notice when the flood just happened? Why didn't Liu's family come out to call for help? Even when everyone rushed to put out the fire in front of Liu's house, they didn't even hear the cry for help from inside.

The sound of splashing water, running, walking fast... fell on the ears of Mu Chun and the others, but it was strangely quiet.

too weird.

A building like Liu's house used a lot of wood in its construction, and when it burned, the fire was huge and the temperature was so high that no one could get close to the house, they could only splash water on the outside, let alone save people.

Mu Ruyu raised his palm upwards and slowly raised it. Chunyu Yelai was a little further away from him, but he could feel that the surrounding wind had changed. With Mu Ruyu's movements, the surrounding wind was moving in Mu Ruyu's direction Gathered, as if gathered in his palm.In just a moment, Mu Ruyu pushed out his palm, and the wind from all directions rushed towards the wooden door under the plaque.

The locked wooden door was smashed open in an instant, and the flames on the door frame were scattered a little, and then gathered back more violently.

Inside that door, the people in the well, one is holding a scroll in one hand and the other behind his back, one is sitting at a low table, not only playing chess, but also doing something else, and another...

This scene seemed to be frozen, and even some other people who were fighting the fire outside couldn't help but freeze on the spot when they saw this scene.

The people in the well that day were already burning with raging flames, and they couldn't see their faces anymore, but they were standing or sitting, and they still maintained their original postures. Correspondingly, what about the other people in Liu's house...

The standing scroll holder seemed to turn his head slightly to look out, with eyes, no eyes.

Mu Ruyu heard a short "ah" exclamation from beside her.Chunyu Yelai covered his mouth and looked at the door with his eyes. Even under the orange-red firelight, Mu Ruyu could feel that Chunyu Yelai's complexion was very bad, terrible.

He walked over, covered Chunyu Yelai's eyes with one hand, and pulled him into his arms with the other.

"Don't be afraid, Yelai, don't be afraid." He knew that Chunyu Yelai was not afraid at this time, but he didn't know what to say at this time.

The sky is bright, and the cool wind of early summer blows into the house, blowing the gauze curtain on one side, while the other side is tied up.

Chunyu Yelai opened his eyes, and saw Mu Ruyu resting his chin on the edge of the bed, looking down at him.

"What time is it?" Chunyu Yelai asked softly.

"Not too late." Mu Ruyu replied softly.

After a night, Chunyu Yelai's complexion was still very bad. When he got up together, Mu Ruyu also straightened up.Chunyu Yelai could sense that Mu Ruyu was worried about him, and the reason was naturally what happened last night, but the two of them sat facing each other, but they didn't know how to speak up.

It was Chunyu Yelai who said first, "I have seen many wounded people, and I have also seen... many dead people, but no matter whether it is by my master's side or walking alone, there is no..." He took a deep breath. He took a deep breath, and continued: "I haven't been treated yet, and I don't even know what the other person's problem is, and even I have to find out, but..."

Mu Ruyu held his hand tightly, but her voice was very gentle, "Ye Lai, I called you Ye Lai yesterday, can I call you like this? Or Chun Ye?"

Chunyu Yelai was suddenly interrupted, and responded somewhat slowly: "...anything is fine."

Mu Ruyu laughed, "Why do you always have the word 'Ye' in your name?"

Chunyu Yelai, "My mother said that it was night when she gave birth to me, and the first spring thunder of that year sounded outside the window. It is said that the next day in the garden, the branches and leaves were raining, and the garden was full of falling flowers."

The night comes wind and rain, Whispering Colour.

Mu Ruyu was still holding his hand, and said in a solemn voice, "Then Ye Lai, listen carefully, it's not your fault, if the Liu family is murdered, as the history of the investigation, you can track down the murderer; and you Regardless of being the king of Zhennan or a genius doctor who has already graduated from the teacher, you can't forcefully enter Liu's house to check on patients when you are turned away because of other people's speculation. Power does not mean that all responsibilities must be placed on you hold."

After Mu Ruyu finished speaking, he put down his hand, and his voice was soft again; "What do you want to eat? I'll go and tell the shopkeeper, your complexion is not good, sleep for a while."

When Mu Ruyu was about to get up to leave, Chunyu Yelai said softly, "You are fine."

Mu Ruyu turned her head, noncommittal.

Chunyu Yelai took his hand, "I want to hug you, just give you a hug."

Mu Ruyu leaned over and held him in her arms, "As many blows as you want."

General Wu Siyue of Yunwei Prefecture had already rushed to Cuizhu City with his troops early in the morning. It turned out that when the station received the letter from King Youran, General Wu was patrolling outside. Compared with the station, his inspection site was much closer to Cuizhu City.

The soldiers brought by General Wu have surrounded Liu's house, and outsiders are not allowed to approach, including the Qingya county magistrate who rushed over after hearing the news.The medical officers who came with the army temporarily performed the post of assistant.

General Wu and the people he brought had already filled up the Ruyi inn where Mu Chun and the two were staying. After the Qingya County Prime Minister met with the unfamiliar General Wu, he saw that General Wu seemed to be waiting for someone, so he thought about it. If there are any other generals who have come to this Green Bamboo City, he will also see and salute.

Wu Siyue didn't say who he was waiting for. After exchanging greetings with Qingya County Prime Minister over a cup of tea, he really didn't know what to say, so he just looked at the document in his hand.Wu Siyue didn't make a sound, and the soldiers around him didn't make a sound. The atmosphere was so quiet that it was weird.The Prime Minister of Qingya County couldn't sit still, so he said goodbye and left. In fact, he went to book another inn.

Wu Siyue was waiting for Mu Ruyu in the hall while waiting for the report from Wu Zuo and the soldiers who inspected the scene of Liu's house.When Mu Ruyu came down from upstairs, Wu Siyue's gaze followed his figure brightly.

Mu Ruyu, "General Wu, have you finished reading the documents in your hand?"

Wu Siyue received the document, "tsk", and did not look outside Mu Ruyu, "By the way, my lord, why have you stayed upstairs for so long? Could it be that Mrs. Zun came here with you? When will you do it?" The banquet, why don't you call me."

Mu Ruyu and Wu Siyue have known each other since they were in the army, and Wu Siyue has since become Mu Ruyu's subordinate.Mu Ruyu has no airs when getting along with a group of soldiers and ruffian brothers, and Wu Siyue is also used to talking to him directly.

General Wu's eyes were too gossip, Mu Ruyu glanced at him and didn't want to look at him again, skipped his question and asked, "How is Liu's house?"

Wu Siyue, "The guards are all my people. The doctor and deputy general are still investigating, and there is no news yet."

Although General Wu is gossip, he is still very reliable in doing business.

Mu Ruyu, "Okay, follow me to have a look."

"I'll go too," Chunyu Yelai, who came downstairs in plain white clothes, nodded to Mu Ruyu, indicating that he had rested and could go to see the scene.

Wu Siyue looked at Chunyu Yelai, then turned to look at Mu Ruyu, "Who is this?"

Mu Ruyu, "My Charing History."

Charing Division is under the jurisdiction of King Youran, and Charing Shi is Mu Ruyu's subordinate, that's right. The phrase "my Charing History" seems to be correct, but why not "my subordinates" or "Charing Commander Charing History"?General Wu hadn't thought about it yet, and his face was already a little ashamed. He felt strange in his heart, but the business was important, so he hurried to follow the two.

After a night of fire, only broken walls and tiles remained in Liu's house, and a piece of scorched earth.

According to the report of Wu Siyue's deputy, a total of 67 corpses were counted in the Liu residence, all of which had been burned and their faces could not be seen clearly.

"Also, it's a little weird." The lieutenant general said.

Wu Siyue, "What's weird?"

Lieutenant General, "According to the prince and the residents of Cuizhu City, it was already late at night when the fire started, but judging from the position and posture of the corpses, many people have not fallen asleep."

Mu Ruyu also heard his words, "How do you say?"

Lieutenant General, "Fifty corpses were found on the beds in the wing room, so it can be seen that they were really sleeping at that time. But [-] of them were not on the beds, some were in the courtyard, some were in the hall, and some were even dead. By the pot."

The deputy will not say more, just describe.

It is indeed strange that there are many strict rules in the family of a rich family and a scholar. There are rules on when to get up, when to rest, and when to study and do things.Even if the rules are not strict, can you really see clearly when you are watering flowerpots and playing chess in the courtyard in the middle of the night in the dark?

No matter in the palace or in the leisurely palace, at night, lights are lit everywhere outside the house.Mu Ruyu's night vision is pretty good, but she still feels that it's too dark, and she only reads and writes in the study.Did the person he saw holding the scroll in the courtyard yesterday really read the words on the scroll?

The investigating soldiers didn't get orders and didn't move the body in Liu's house at will. Mu Ruyu ordered the soldiers to record the location of the body and the things around it. It would be best to show what he was doing when he was alive.

Chunyu Yelai squatted next to the corpse that held the scroll last night, and inspected it for a long time.Mu Ruyu saw him, but didn't bother him either.

Chunyu Yelai got up and returned to Mu Ruyu's side. Mu Ruyu asked, "What did you see?"

Chunyu Yelai, "I want to confirm one more thing."

Mu Ruyu, "How to confirm?"

Chunyu Yelai, "Go back to the inn."

The shopkeeper of the inn had already heard the identities of Mu Chun and the two, so he was not surprised after being taken aback. After all, such a temperament and demeanor were not ordinary people.

The shopkeeper made a pot of good tea for the three of them, and after Chunyu Ye came to thank him, he got straight to the point, "Shopkeeper, I have some questions to ask."

The shopkeeper, "I dare not ask for advice. If you want to ask anything, I will definitely tell you everything."
