Changfeng has a place to return

Perhaps it was because Liang Shu's body was still hot, in the dream, Liu Xian'an also fell into a bottomless hot spring.

He closed his eyes, sank slowly from the water surface, his overcoat fluttered in all directions, like a huge coquettish flower, and in this wet and sticky world, his body was in a trance, as if completely falling into another person The rough and thin calluses of the palms of her hands pressed against her waist, bringing an indescribable strange trembling, and her thin white toes were slightly raised, making the water ripple.

When his body reached the highest point with the waves, Liu Xian'an clenched his fingers on the pillow and sat up suddenly. Ah Ning was lying on the bedside to rest, but was woken up at this moment. When he opened his eyes and saw Liu Xian'an was sweating profusely, he hurriedly grabbed the pillow. His arm shook: "Master, wake up, are you having a nightmare?"

The light in the room was very dark, and there was noise outside the window.Liu Xian'an slowed down for a long time, before realizing where it was, he heaved a sigh of relief, leaned back on the bed and asked drowsily, "What time is it?"

"Chen Shi." Ah Ning said, "The prince told me before leaving that the young master had worked hard last night, so he can rest at the inn today without going to the government office."

As he spoke, he went to lift the quilt, but Liu Xian'an held on tightly and did not let go.Ah Ning didn't react at first, thinking that he would continue to sleep, so he said: "Then I'll go get the clean pajamas first, young master, change what you're wearing, it's all soaked through."

Liu Xian'an sat cross-legged on the bed wrapped in a quilt, and said vaguely: "You fetch it, I'll change it myself."

The lazy boy wanted to change his clothes by himself, Ah Ning stopped in his tracks, looked suspiciously for a while, and asked, "Did you just... dream about something?"

Liu Xian'an let out a "hmm" in a muddled way.

Aning immediately sat back on the bed, pressed his shoulders, and looked very pleasantly surprised: "Really, then I will write to the owner and the young master!"

Although Liu Xian'an is usually more Buddha, more casual than you, and life and death, but at this time he was also shocked, why did he tell my father and my elder brother about this kind of thing?

Ah Ning felt that of course he had to tell!Because the whole family thinks that the young master is too desireless, so desireless that it seems abnormal—not because he is mentally abnormal, anyway, Mr. Liu Er is mentally abnormal, and everyone in the country knows it.Master Liu and Young Master Liu were mainly worried about whether his body would also have some hidden disease in that area, so they were more disturbed and distressed.

Liu Xian'an: "..."

do not want to talk.

He changed the subject and asked, "When did the prince leave?"

"Maoshi, I left in a hurry, it seems that something happened at the other end of the government office." Aning said, "It seems that there is no fever anymore, just a little cough."

Liu Xian'an didn't ask any more questions. He lay back on the bed and slowly finished changing his clothes. He was still thinking about the ecstatic spring dream last night. After thinking about it for a while, he simply covered his head with the quilt, and then Resigned himself to sleep and went back to the cage.It's not too early or too late, I've been sleeping so much that my whole body has a headache, my muscles and bones are weak, I get up in a daze in the afternoon, I sit on the edge of the bed with my eyes closed and I look for my shoes with my feet, but there is a chuckle next to my ear.

"..."

Liang Shu squatted beside the bed, held his bare ankle, and put on the soft shoe: "Are you awake?"

Woke up, but still seemed to be in a dream, Liu Xian'an's body froze, only his Adam's apple rolled: "My lord."

"A-Ning said you are not feeling well." Liang Shu stood up and sat by the bed, "Did you freeze last night?"

The arms of the two were touching each other, and the body temperature passed each other. Liu Xian'an's heart was beating. It wasn't cold here, it was obviously scalding to death, so he stretched out his hand to test the temperature of his forehead: "No fever, where's the heartbeat?"

Liang Shu opened an arm: "I don't know, come and listen?"

If it were normal, I would have listened to it. It's not that I haven't heard it before, but I had that chaotic dream last night, and now I can't look directly at this embrace, so I just stretched out my hand to hold him. Take a pulse: "Well, it's okay."

While talking, he got up and walked quickly to the table, wanting to drink some overnight cold water to calm down.Poured into the cup, it turned out to be warm scented tea with some milk mixed in. Liang Shu said behind him: "Seeing that you always asked Ah Ning to buy this a few days ago, you simply invited the boss here."

Being so considerate and careful, Liu Xian'an felt that his dream didn't seem to be completely out of nowhere.Milk tea can't calm the fire, it will only become more nourishing the more you drink, so he had to ask: "I heard from Aning that the prince went to the government office in a hurry this morning, what did the imperial guards find?"

Liang Shu said, "Tong Ou went to Yu Cong's residence."

Yu Cong is the well-known benevolent Mr. Yu in Huaizhen City, who has been assisting the government in promoting ghost hunting.It's not surprising that Tong Ou went to look for him. What's strange is that he didn't visit the door during the day, but spied at night.

Liu Xian'an was also surprised: "Spy?"

Liang Shu nodded: "Yes."

When Tong Ou was in Zizi, he was dressed in night clothes and sneaked into the heavily guarded Yu Mansion, looking in the direction of going to the main house.His kung fu is actually good, but no matter how good he is, he can't stand up to the Yu family's patrol team. There are so many torches everywhere, and ordinary people have nowhere to hide. They are about to be discovered. At a critical moment, fortunately, the imperial guards flew up and took him away. He lifted it up and jumped to hide in the dark.

"Who, who's there!" There were sparse footsteps and shouts.

"There is no movement, could it be that we read it wrong?"

"Go, go, go to the other side."

The patrolling people dispersed, and Tong Ou was brought to Liang Shu by the imperial guards.

Liu Xian'an continued to ask: "What did he say, why did he go to Yu Cong's house?"

Liang Shu put on a robe for him: "I came to you because of this incident. Tong Ou's confession is related to that corpse. Wash your face first. I will wait for you outside the house."

Liu Xian'an nodded, he didn't have time to continue pondering whether it was a dream or not. After washing up, he followed Liang Shu to find Tong Ou.The other party was temporarily detained in an empty room at the end of the corridor. He already knew Liang Shu's identity at this time, so when he saw the two coming in, he knelt down and saluted: "His Royal Highness Xiao Wang."

"Get up." Liang Shu said, "Repeat all the things you said this morning, your identity, and who is that corpse."

"Yes." Tong Ou stood up and said, "Second Master Liu, I am the Orion in the rumors, and the owner of that bone is indeed Wan Yuan."

Liu Xian'an's heart tightened slightly.

Heresy is rampant in the Southwest. Although the imperial court was constrained by the Northwest in the past few years and was unable to send troops to suppress it on a large scale, it still allocated a lot of silver to the local area. They must find ways to contain it, and it is impossible to make it develop too quickly.At that time, Tong Ou was just a new recruit in the military camp, but because of his courage, determination and skill, he was still selected and entrusted with important tasks.He pretended to be an ordinary hunter and wandered around collecting all the information about Bai Fujiao.

"Once when I was following the disciples of the Baifu Sect, I was accidentally discovered by them. I stumbled and fell off the cliff while avoiding pursuit. It was Miss Wan who rescued me." Tong Ou said, "She is chivalrous, straightforward and lovely. I have been in love with her for a long time. , and later made a private decision for life. But at that time, I still had important work to do, so after my leg injury healed, I said goodbye to her for a while, and agreed to come to propose marriage in two months."

Liu Xian'an said: "But you didn't come."

"There are too many disciples of Baifu Sect." Recalling the past, Tong Ou regretted endlessly, "It was also my carelessness. Not long after I left the mountain, I was ambushed by them again and was seriously injured again. This time it was the garrison who came to rescue me after hearing the sound. They killed me and sent me back to the camp. I lay in bed for three whole months, unable to remember anything, and then I met a miracle doctor from Baihe Mountain Villa, who cleared the blood in my brain."

But when he went to Huaizhen City again, he only heard the news of Wan Yuan's death.Tong Ou said: "I don't believe that she will commit suicide, so I have always suspected that it is because the disciples of Baifu Sect knew about our relationship that they would secretly kill her."

Liu Xian'an asked: "Has Miss Wan ever been pregnant?"

Tong Ou hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe."

During those three months on the mountain, the two had already crossed the line between men and women.Wan Yuan did not have a menstrual period in the last month, but she also said that her days were always inaccurate, so Tong Ou didn't take it to heart.It wasn't until yesterday in the autopsy room that Liu Xian'an said that the skeleton had been pregnant, and he suddenly remembered this matter.

"Miss Wan has been living in the mountains since she was a child, so she has many old wounds on her body, and the bone is indeed her." Tong Ou's eyes were red, and he calmed down for a moment before continuing, "But the child... has only been pregnant two or three times. Can a child of one month see it?"

"It's not just two or three months." Liu Xian'an said, "The child is full-term and has been born."

As soon as these words came out, even Liang Shu frowned, and Tong Ou was even more thunderous: "...Is this true?"

Liu Xian'an nodded: "Really."

According to Tong Ou's confession, when Wan Yuan went down the mountain, the child in her stomach was at most two months, and the two months in the city were added, which was far from enough for a full-term delivery.So the only explanation is that Wan Yuan didn't hit the wall and commit suicide immediately after being taken into prison, but was quietly transferred to another place, and after she gave birth to the child,...

Tong Ou murmured: "When she gave birth to a child, those people killed her and put the body back into the empty coffin."

In this way, all the doubts in the case can be explained clearly, why the coffin was empty, and why it was later filled with bones.The truth is far more bloody and cruel than what people think. Tong Ou put her head in her hands, not daring to think about what happened to her during her lifetime.Liu Xian'an sighed, reached out and patted his shoulder: "Do you want to rest for a while?"

"No...no need." Tong Ou lowered his head, wiped away his tears with his hand, and gritted his teeth, "I want to avenge her."

"Why did you go to Yu Cong's house last night?"

"Because it was Yu Cong's son who went to persuade Uncle Wan, saying that he had already wiped Miss Wan's face clean, so he didn't need to look at it anymore, and also said that the coffin was the best one, if there were any nails, the soul of the deceased would be uneasy. Every word and every word is urging for a quick burial." Tong Ou said, "I have been looking for Uncle Wan since I learned of Miss Wan's death. He is already unconscious, and he was brought back to the barracks for recuperation for more than half a year before he could speak."

Liu Xian'an said: "So you think there is something wrong with Yu Cong and his son?"

Tong Ou said: "It's not just for this reason. I have been investigating Baifujiao for so many years. Although the Yu family regards themselves as generous and kind people, the source of the family's money is unknown. We put a lot of bait around this father and son. I should wait for a while before reconnecting, but after I learned that Miss Wan was pregnant yesterday, I really... lost my head for a moment, fortunately, the prince rescued me."

"You don't need to thank me, the army sticks that you got in exchange for this dizzy head, after the matter is resolved, you can go back to the barracks to get it yourself." Liang Shu said, "First, let's find out the clues about Baifujiao and Huaizhen City that you have found over the years. , Let’s talk about it one by one.”
