The weather is cold and the wind is a bit chilly.At this time, the news about Wan Yuan's body being exhumed has spread throughout the city, and some people say that the body is not Wan Yuan, but an unknown woman who died unjustly.Although this statement is closer to the truth, it is also more frightening to be true, so everyone closed their doors to thank customers. Most of the shops on the street were closed. The noodle shop is still open.

"I'm not afraid of ghosts." The boss boasted while ironing rice noodles. "I used to do manual labor in the early years. As long as I have money, I can recite corpses."

Liu Xianan thought to himself, then the poor business of your store may not be entirely due to the haunting.

There are also freshly baked flower cakes for sale at the counter, soft and sweet, Liang Shu ordered two for Liu Xian'an as a snack.The boss waited for a long time, but before the guest opened his mouth, he couldn't hold back his curiosity, stretched his neck and asked in a low voice, "Hey, how are you two doing ghost catching?"

"There is no clue yet." Liang Shu said, "We are investigating the identity of the nameless corpse."

"That's not easy to check. In the past few years in this city, there was always shame." The boss said, "It's not that kind of shame, it's shame, it's a big shame. My old mother was almost tied up by a trafficker back then. Chopping a hatchet and snatching her back, I was in my mother's womb at that time, and I was a fortune teller."

Liang Shu checked with his own eyes. This man was about thirty years old. Thirty years ago, Huaizhen City started to traffic people. Until seven or eight years ago, there were still women and children missing. It is not rampant.He asked: "Those who were abducted, have they returned?"

"No, there isn't one, and everyone thinks this is very strange. It stands to reason that if you are kidnapped, even if you sell it to the sky, you can still get one or two back, right? But there are no shadows, so... "The boss let out a long and meaningful breath, and didn't continue, but the meaning was on the surface. Most likely, he was not abducted, but dead. Now an unknown corpse was dug up from the grave, which is very normal.

Liu Xian'an said: "It would not be surprising if an unknown corpse was dug up from the mass grave, but that corpse was found in the Wanyuan tomb."

There are two points in this matter that he can't figure out. First, who is the person who robbed the tomb?Second, stealing is stealing, why do you need to put another new female corpse in, even if you don't want to be discovered, you just need to restore the grave bag to its original state?Why bother to put another person in the empty grave.

Hearing what he said, the boss didn't answer, but straightened up and smiled.Liang Shu saw the clue, and casually threw a small ingot of broken silver: "The boss seems to know a lot of inside information, let's hear it."

"It's not much." The boss collected the money and saw that the two guests had no intention of eating, so he brought a stool over and sat in front of them and said, "Wan Yuan's coffin was empty during the burial."

As soon as the words came out, Liu Xian'an's eyelids twitched slightly: "Empty?"

The boss didn't speak again.

Liang Shu flicked his finger, this time it was golden, but it was a thin golden leaf.Faced with the sudden windfall, the boss raised his eyebrows with joy, but still wanted to continue to lie, so he continued to make a secretive expression, folded his arms, and raised his eyelids in embarrassment—the result was bad luck, and he happened to be with Liang Shu looked at each other.

And His Royal Highness Xiao Wang's eyes were truly murderous.

The boss was sweating on his back, forced a stiff smile out of embarrassment, and didn't dare to play tricks anymore. He honestly confessed that the coffin was indeed empty back then. Although he didn't carry it himself, there was a brother Yu who worked in the yamen I went to carry it, and when I came back, I kept muttering that the coffin was too light and floating, even if I shook it back and forth, it couldn't make any sound.

"The coffin is empty, Wan Yuan is not dead?"

"Maybe she's still alive." The boss said mysteriously, "Everyone says she committed suicide by banging her head in prison, but no one has ever seen her before. Even the jailer said he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, and the person who took it in the morning went out for a meal at noon, and when he came back, there was only a dark coffin left.”

Such a story that leaked everywhere was actually accepted by the government, and it was spread all over the city. That Mr. Li probably contributed a lot in it back then, but at this time he has already turned his braids, and there is no way to find out if he wants to.The owner of the rice noodle shop took the gold and silver, worked extremely diligently, and pointed out that he could earn more, so he took the initiative to take Liang Shu and Liu Xian'an to find a few old guards from the past, and everyone said they had never seen them before. Wan Yuan's body.

Liu Xian'an asked: "Then were there any other rumors related to Wan Yuan?"

"No, we are also wondering." The boss said, "Even if it is a human trafficker, don't you have to pick a docile and obedient one? Just because of her aggressive personality, who would dare to tie her up, and that girl is not a big shot, so she suddenly disappeared When a person dies without seeing a corpse, even the lord officials don’t talk about it, and hurriedly buried the empty coffin... Tsk, it’s not easy.”

Things became more and more chaotic, and there were many clues, but they became more and more inexplicable.If Wan Yuan hadn't died, then the one floating all over the city might indeed be her herself, but why did she come here?It doesn't seem like revenge, the people in Huaizhen City are at most frightened, and no one has suffered substantial losses because of this.

Liu Xian'an said: "It turns out that investigating the case is also a troublesome thing."

Liang Shu asked: "Trouble, and then, you want to run away?"

It's normal to run away, because Mr. Liu is the most troublesome person in the world, but this time he said: "Then you can also check with the prince."

Liang Shu looked at him with a smile: "Accompany me?"

Liu Xian'an nodded: "Accompany the prince."

The two walked slowly on the street, and the colorful ropes hanging from the eaves on both sides were still swaying in the wind, which was actually very beautiful.Liu Xianan thought, it would be great if there were no cases, there would be no cases, only colorful festivals, only singing and dancing all over the city.Recently, he has gradually tasted the taste of red dust and fireworks, and he feels that troubles are good, of course, the premise is that he can't trouble himself alone.

Another gust of cold wind hit, Liang Shu took off his cloak to wrap him around him, and went back to the mansion together.Gao Lin was still leading his subordinates to light up the lamp to study hard, and he felt dizzy from the reading. He sighed that if he had worked half as hard as he did when he was in school, he would have already won the number one prize.

The book is not at the right time, at the wrong time, he yawned dimly and continued to act as a paving stone on the road of love.

But His Royal Highness Xiao Wang didn't lose his mind, but went to the morgue with Liu Xian'an again, wanting to continue to investigate the nameless bone, but there were already four or five people in the yard, looking at their clothes and sabers, It should be the Southwest Garrison.

Hearing the sound of the wooden door, the man standing beside the corpse turned around. He had a tough face, and he could tell from the barracks just by looking at his figure.But the official position is not high, because he doesn't know Liang Shu at all, he just nodded his head as a greeting, and said: "I heard that this female corpse was pregnant, are you sure?"

"Sure." Liu Xian'an pointed to him, "There is deformation here, it's easy to judge."

"What about this injury?" The man asked again about a dark streak on the leg bone.

"I've had a fracture, but it's not serious. I probably didn't see a doctor or get a splint. This kind of slight deformation will only appear when I grow up." Liu Xian'an said, "The forearm, as well as this phalanx, have also suffered bone fractures. hurt."

"Did you grow them all by yourself?" After the man frowned and asked, he felt that his tone seemed to be in a bad mood, so he clasped his fists and said, "Xia Tongou, the commander of the South 35th Battalion of the Southwest Garrison, this time is under the order of the president. Come to investigate the haunting case of Huaizhen City. I have heard some things on the way here, but the two of you don’t seem to be ghost-hunting wizards.”

"We are indeed not wizards, but doctors." Liu Xian'an said, "Just passing by here, I think it's absurd for a female ghost to climb a grave, so come and have a look."

Liang Shu suddenly asked: "Is the East Nine Camp busy recently? I have an elder brother working there. If he is free, we will go and visit."

Tong Ou shook his head: "It's not busy, Dongying just finished rectification a while ago, and it happened to be resting in batches recently."

Liang Shu smiled: "Understood, thank you."

Liu Xian'an didn't know what the purpose of this question was, but Liang Shu had already pressed his shoulder and pushed him forward: "Since Commander Tong came here specially for the female ghost, then you will take the corpse of this female Tell him about the situation in detail, maybe there will be new clues."

Liu Xian'an still didn't understand, a nameless bone, no matter how carefully he said it... wait, unless he knew this bone?Liang Shu shook the hands on his shoulders slightly, Liu Xian'an understood, and explained carefully one by one, starting from the small wounds on the skull.The age of this skeleton will not be very old, although there are many bone injuries, they are not serious.

"This one is an exception." Liu Xian'an said, "The injury here is very serious, and it should have been injured since childhood, so it has been unable to lift heavy objects since it grew up."

Tong Ou was puzzled: "Do you mean the wrist bones?"

"Well, but it's not certain, after all, it has been buried underground for many years." Liu Xian'an stood up straight, "That's all."

Tong Ou said: "Okay, thank you doctor, I have to go to see Master Shan, so I will take my leave first."

He led the people out of the small courtyard, Liang Shulue waved, and immediately someone landed from the shadows: "Your Highness."

"Go and stare at him."

"Yes!"

Coming and going like the wind, Liu Xian'an watched in amazement: "They have been following the prince?"

Liang Shu nodded: "Yes, brother's imperial guard, is it fun?"

"Wouldn't that be..." Liu Xianan thought to himself, what's so funny about this, there are people watching all the time.The volumes of history books in my mind were immediately turned up, and there were all kinds of shocking changes.Liang Shu looked at his frowning, and he could naturally guess what the other person was thinking at this time, he smiled and tapped with his fingers: "Don't be nervous, it's different from what you think."

Liu Xian'an asked: "What is that like?"

"I'm afraid I'll run away on the way to Baihe Mountain Villa to ask for marriage." Liang Shu said, "I often do this kind of thing, and the emperor will have a countermeasure."

Doing it often means that someone often proposes marriage to His Royal Highness King Xiao. Facing this extremely high-risk family who may marry at any time, Liu Xian'an feels a headache. He tries to put on the authority of [-] years old, calm Said: "There is nothing good about getting married."

"It's nothing good, so we shouldn't get married." Liang Shu asked, "Then you still 'anyone can'?"

Liu Xian'an answered immediately: "Then I don't have to."

From "Anyone can" to "No one is allowed", Liang Shu didn't know whether he should be angry or laugh, so he raised his hand and flicked his head, wanting to see how many things could choke him to death. ability.But Liu Xian'an had already ran away with his head in his arms, thinking why the prince is like this, I just suggested that everyone can not get married, so he hit me.

Liang Shu ordered: "Come here."

Liu Xian'an refused to come over, he asked: "Why did the lord send someone to watch Tong Ou?"

"The East Ninth Battalion is only eight days away from Huaizhen City. If it's worse, there are the East Third Battalion and the East Twelfth Battalion. Even the North Fourth Battalion is closer than his South 35th Battalion." Liang Shu said, "The Southwest Garrison The President was appointed by me, and I know his temper best. He never wastes manpower, let alone seeks far away, so unless Tong Ou voluntarily asks to come to Huaizhen City, then the whole garrison is idle. , he could nod his head in agreement."

Liu Xian'an understood.There is no such thing as a small ghost in the city, no matter how quickly the case is investigated, it will not be counted as military merit, and there is really no need to travel across a dozen camps to come here, and then said: "Just now I was explaining the other bone injuries. At that time, he just nodded, but I made up the wrist bone, and he really questioned it, which shows that Tong Ou probably knew that there was no injury there."

Liang Shu smiled and said, "I have learned to lie."

"It's not deceiving, it's called soldiers are not tired of deceit." Liu Xian'an said, "Come on, let's go and tell Vice General Gao about this."

"Tell him what to do?" Liang Shu disagreed, "Gao Lin may only read this book seriously once in his life, and you still want to bother him."

Liu Xian'an said, it's okay not to go.

The two returned to the inn to rest together, and left Lieutenant Gao alone in the cold and frosty dilapidated file room.

Those who heard it were in tears.

And that night, Second Young Master Liu suffered from insomnia again, so Aning took out the medicine box and suggested that I give Young Master an injection.

Liu Xian'an stepped on the soft shoes and sat by the bed, thought for a while, and ordered: "Go and see if the prince is asleep."

Ah Ning agreed, and tiptoed in the corridor to eavesdrop, but was caught by His Royal Highness Xiao Wang who opened the door, and was immediately embarrassed: "The prince has not rested yet?"

"No." Liang Shu swept behind him, "Is there something wrong?"

Aning maintained an awkward but enthusiastic smile, and also turned to look at his son, I don't know, should we have something to do?

Liu Xian'an felt that he could have it for a while, because he couldn't sleep anyway.

So Ah Ning was sent downstairs to make a pot of scented tea.Liu Xian'an sat at the table, looking at His Royal Highness King Xiao who was only wearing a toga over his pajamas. This dress was indeed much prettier than the bathrobes he had drawn. It could be seen that the craftsmanship of the court tailor was really extraordinary.

Liang Shu asked, "What are you looking at?"

Liu Xian'an replied: "Clothes."

Liang Shu said: "If you like it, I will give you one when I return to Wangcheng in the future."

Liu Xian'an thought, if you like it, you like it, but I don't want to wear it because it looks cold.The neckline was open, and the cloth of the toga was as thin and soft as running water, and it was gently covering His Highness King Xiao's lean and beautiful muscles due to years of fighting.

Liang Shu tugged at his hairband: "Why don't you look restrained at all?"

Liu Xian'an frowned in pain: "Because the prince is not restrained in his clothes."

One sentence exposed His Royal Highness King Xiao's courtship, and he seemed to go out inadvertently. In fact, the peacock who had changed clothes for a long time in the room was worthy of being a sleeping fairy who lived for [-] years.

Liang Shu snatched the teacup from his hand: "Don't drink it."

Liu Xian'an didn't rush, brought another teacup over, bowed his head and took a sip.

Lips are red and moist.

Regardless of whether the behavior of grabbing a cup is naive or not, Zhao Xiaomao obviously couldn't understand His Royal Highness King Xiao's mood at this time.

Like a prairie fire.

The author has something to say:

Zhao Xiaomao is Orz, the son of the palace janitor who can only pull little girls' braids.
