Yun Ting anecdotes

On the night when Mu Chun and the others heard the strange sound for the first time, a person knocked on the door of Ruyi Inn, and the man said, "Oh, why can't the people in this inn pay back this early in the morning? Does the young master's friend live here?"

Chunyu Ye came to ask the shopkeeper, "Does the shopkeeper recognize the person who spoke? Does his young master's friend really live here?"

The shopkeeper thought for a while and replied: "The name of the person who knocked on the door was Ah Fu, and it was not the first time he said those words. His young master's friend did live in our shop, but that was three years ago thing."

When the shopkeeper said a word, everyone who listened was shocked.The incident in Liu's house was so big last night, of course the shopkeeper knew that the adults in front of him were here for the incident in Liu's house, so he spoke more carefully.

Shopkeeper, "My dissatisfaction, my lords, is not because of how good my memory is, but because one day two years ago, Ah Fu knocked on the door when we were about to close the store at night. I was still in the store at that time, so I checked the account At present, it is related to the Liu family. Three years ago, the friend of Young Master Liu lived in my shop, and Ah Fu paid the bill when he was picked up by Ah Fu in the morning. That day my inn clerk was too lazy to open the door. I said this at the door, but we didn't hear it. It was he who came over later and complained about our inn, and I remembered that he said so.

"I looked at the account book, and when I remembered this, I told that Ah Fu that night two years ago, didn't your young master's friend pick him up early, and the account was all recorded. It is night now, not early in the morning. He Standing at the door and not going in, I felt that he didn't even look at me, so he went back after speaking, but he didn't come back again."

Chunyu Yelai, "Boss, did he say the same thing the night two years ago and the night before?"

Shopkeeper, "I remember it's the same. There have been rumors in the city that the Liu family is weird. Although everyone is used to it now, it was not like this two years ago. There are all kinds of sayings that they recruited evil spirits and were poisoned. Talking to them will also attract evil spirits. When I heard this statement, I just talked to that Ah Fu, and I was scared to death, so I should remember correctly."

Mu Ruyu heard the words and asked, "I know they are weird, what are the people in this city doing?"

The shopkeeper, "ah? What are you doing?" The shopkeeper didn't understand what he meant.

Mu Ruyu, "In ancient times, when encountering such people who were suspected of beckoning evil spirits, the light ones would jump into the Great God to drive out ghosts, and the serious ones would even be stoned to death."

The shopkeeper understood what he meant, he was asking, people in Cuizhu City were panicked, would they go to harm the Liu Zhai people.

The shopkeeper's face was a little dissatisfied, "Although we can't say that all the people in Cuizhu City are good, they will not look at a living person and want to throw stones at him. It's hard to say , They recruited Xie Chong, but no one can say for sure, so whether Xie Chong will find him next time, why would he want to cut off his back path?"

Mu Ruyu understood what he meant, cupped her fists and said, "Understood."

The innkeeper listened, and vented all his unconvinced anger. He didn't remember why he was angry, so he started to contact other inns for the soldiers brought by General Wu. Two common rooms remain.

Mu Chun and Wu Siyue came to Tianzi No. [-] room.

When General Wu first arrived, he only saw the scorched earth after the fire. He still didn't understand what happened to Liu's house, nor did he understand Chunyu Yelai and Mu Ruyu's questioning of the shopkeeper.These questions were simmering in his heart, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

As soon as he was seated, Wu Siyue asked: "I've always heard you say that the Liu residence is weird, what happened to them?"

Mu Ruyu, "Actually, we also want to know what happened to them."

Mu Ruyu's answer is true, but it seems to be a detour.

Chunyu Yelai added, "The night your Highness and I first arrived in Cuizhu City, some strange people appeared on the street." He told Wu Siyue what he saw that night.

After listening, General Wu said: "It's creepy."

Mu Ruyu, "Indeed."

Chunyu Yelai said again: "I suspected that they had some kind of rare hysteria, so I went to Liu's residence with His Highness the next day."

Wu Siyue, "What did you see? Are you really suffering from hysteria?"

Chunyu Yelai and Mu Ruyu looked at each other.

Chunyu Yelai said, "From our point of view, the people in Liu's house were very normal, just like a normal life. But I felt something was wrong at the time, but I didn't think what was wrong. It wasn't until today when I checked the body of the person in Liu's house and asked the shopkeeper, I found out that the people in Liu's house were not normal at that time, but we just didn't see it at that time."

Wu Siyue, "How do you say that?"

Mu Ruyu, "The people in Liu's house seem to be living an ordinary life, but in fact they have been repeating their existing life, or in other words, they have relived the life they can recall in their minds over and over again. "

Chunyu Ye came to hear the words and looked at Mu Ruyu. This was also his guess, but he hadn't had time to explain it to Mu Ruyu.

Mu Ruyu smiled back, and bought him a cup of tea, "I guessed it when you asked the shopkeeper just now. Ye Lai, you continue."

Chunyu Yelai said, "If we follow this assumption, what we saw earlier makes sense. I also remembered the strange place I saw in Liu's house, the old woman's embroidery. The embroidery in Yunwei Water Town is often bright and smooth. The silk thread is beautifully dense but not thick, but the old woman's embroidery looks very thick."

Wu Siyue understood, "Oh, so to speak, she embroidered over and over again."

Chunyu Yelai, "That's right, and the other half that hasn't been embroidered is still not embroidered."

Mu Ruyu, "So if you think about it this way, when we were standing outside the door, although there was a sound of answering the door from inside, the old man was not responding to us, but to the knock on the door that he had responded to before." People. Therefore, it took a while after we knocked on the door to answer, and although his response seemed reasonable, it didn’t answer the question—what we saw that day was too coincidental.”

Therefore, they did not discover the problems in Liu's house earlier, but waited for the scene where it was burned.

Chunyu Yelai's eyes darkened, and Mu Ruyu shook his hand under the table.

Wu Siyue said again: "Hey, that's not right. Since it's the life they have lived, how can people change like this? Chunyu Charing Shi, didn't you say that when you asked the shopkeeper, the person who knocked on the door said it was a big In the morning, what you saw that night, the grocery shopping, shouldn’t it be in broad daylight?”

Chunyu Yelai said, "The general's soldiers were not counted today, and seventeen corpses were not found on the bed. Although His Highness and I have seen the people in Liu's house who are active during the day, I speculate that they tend to be active at night. Yes, and they really do not distinguish between day and night. Otherwise, why would someone read a book outside at night in this high-walled courtyard, he is clearly living in the daytime."

Wu Siyue, "Hiss, so the people in the entire Liu residence are crazy. Because they are crazy, they will run out in the middle of the night."

Chunyu Yelai said, "Crazy or not, it's not certain, but they can come out, I'm afraid there are some coincidences in it."

When Wu Siyue heard it, he felt even more mysterious, what is the situation?

Mu Ruyu saw Wu Siyue's expression, and asked him: "In your general's mansion, who usually does the action of opening the door?"

Wu Siyue, "Me."

Mu Ruyu shrugged her eyebrows.

Wu Siyue, "Oh, I'm usually the one who goes out, and it's my servant who opens and closes the door, usually Uncle Liu."

Chunyu Yelai, "Yes, Liu's house is like other high-end courtyards. There are dedicated waiters to answer the door. Of course, it also opens and closes the door. Then the memory of other people does not actually have the memory of opening and closing the door. The people in Liu's house can come out. The bellboy who answers the door is also active in the middle of the night, and opens the door as in the day."

Wu Siyue understood, "Oh, there are very few coincidences between the one who buys vegetables and the one who opens the door, so in the past few years, it's rare to go out to buy in the middle of the night."

General Wu's statement seems to be correct...

Wu Siyue, "Young Master Chunyu, tell me quickly what happened to them, whether they got sick or fell ill, how did they become like this."

Chunyu Yelai, "I have a guess that this situation is not hysteria, but I don't know if it is accurate. They took a poison called the Flower of Past Life."

When Mu Ruyu heard this, she was also surprised, "I've heard a lot of herbal medicines, and I've never heard of the flowers of the past life."

Chunyu Yelai explained: "I have seen a description of this poison in an ancient book, but I have never seen it in fact. The symptoms of the people in Liu's house are very similar to the description of the poison, so it can be used as a guess. But The situation in Liu's house did not happen naturally, why they came into contact with the poison should not be simple."

Wu Siyue, "By the way, Your Highness, the things you asked me to look for should be delivered soon."

As soon as the words were finished, Wu Siyue's subordinates knocked on the door and handed him two things.

One is the genealogy originally placed in the ancestral hall, which records the children of Liu's family living in Liu's house, and the other page even records the waiters who are working in Liu's house. It seems that the waiters in Liu's house have lived with the master's family for many years. The deceased or those who have left their hometown will be drawn with brushes of other colors.

Counting according to the list in this family tree, there are 69 people in it, one of them is married to another woman, and there is a difference between one person who does not know who it is. Yao's little son.

The other thing in Mu Ruyu's hand was the location of the corpse and the surrounding items that he sent an order to describe.It said that there were remnants of chessboards, flower beds, paper pages, etc., but there were still two people who fell in the courtyard on the inside, without any special items beside them, and the posture of falling was very unnatural, and even the two fell down. People have broken bones.

Mu Ruyu said: "This matter is indeed not simple."
