I can tell fortunes, so I’m not easy to mess with [Cross Book]

Bai Yiling raised his head halfway, stared at the ceiling, and listened to Lu Mo's words. After a while, seeing that she stopped talking, he got up and leaned over, patted the other person's back, and caressed her in a somewhat unfamiliar way. Lu Mo's cheek.

"mother."

Say this word a few more times, and it won't make people feel so difficult to speak.Bai Yiling said gently: "You don't have to keep saying sorry to me repeatedly, I never blamed you at all. I saw how hard you tried to find and remember me, in your heart..."

He pursed his lips a little shyly, not used to speaking like this: "I feel very happy in my heart."

Lu Mo raised his head and looked at his child blankly. Bai Yiling smiled at her with his eyes bent, his eyelashes were long, which was very in line with the characteristics of the Sheng family: "So it's really good to know that it's your child." Things, why do you have to be sad when such a good thing happened? We will be able to reunite as a family in the future. And am I okay? Mother, look at me, I am fine now."

Lu Mo took several deep breaths, then smiled.She cupped Bai Yiling's face with both hands, and said, "Yes. My son, why is he so nice?... He is sensible and smart, and he became such a high-ranking official at a young age. Your old mother recognized you. , I don’t know how face-saving it is.”

"Oh, really." She pinched Bai Yiling's nose with a smile, and then hugged him into her arms, "Mother is really... so happy."

Bai Yiling said: "Mother, I'm sorry, I haven't gotten used to it for a while. During the day, father... father and two elder brothers went to the North Inspection Department to find me for lunch, but I... didn't say anything. .”

Lu Mo said: "Your father and your brothers also miss you every day. Aduo and Azhi have always had a good relationship with you, that's all. But your father doesn't know what to say or how to cherish you. He is afraid that you don't like him. After two days, the sky will come down, let's go home for dinner. We are a family, how can there be any reason to beat around the bush when we care about each other?"

Bai Yiling nodded at Lu Mo, smiled and said, "Don't come tomorrow night, I... will go home."

He also felt as if he had let go of something heavy and carried for a long time, which made him feel relaxed.

It seems that until this moment, he really felt that he had completely got rid of the Xie family who had been like a nightmare for 20 years, and got rid of the unnecessary blood connection.

These days, he had to think about a lot of things, and he couldn't sleep well. After Lu Mo left, he had a good night's sleep, until he was woken up by the system the next morning.

【alarm!alarm!Please host attention, your property "Yongding Hou's Mansion" is about to evaporate completely, and now the system will forcibly exchange it for "Zhen Guo Gong's Mansion"! 】

Bai Yiling was a little dazed by the sudden system prompt, and now the matter at this stage has basically been settled, and the Marquis of Yongding even seized the title and confiscated the house, the general trend is over.

Xie Taifei has no skills and is old, it is impossible to expect him to make a comeback, Xie Xi has no ambitions here, it is only a matter of time before the disappearance of the Yongding Hou Mansion, it is not surprising.

So it was hard for Bai Yiling to imagine that something happened suddenly to make the system issue such an alarm.

Immediately alert, he asked, "What happened?"

——Xie Taifei was killed.

Xie Taifei died terribly. When Bai Yiling arrived, the body had not been treated, his body was covered in blood, and he was lying on the ground. It was almost difficult to distinguish his original appearance.

This man who used to say "I'm your father anyway"...

Bai Yiling stood in front of the corpse and looked down at him, his face was a little dull, but his expression was still calm, and he said simply: "What's going on?"

Lu Hong glanced at his expression, and said: The Marquis of Yongding has been counting confiscated items for the past few days, and there is no way to live in them. After Xie Taifei dismissed his servants, he has been living in this inn. As a result, when a guest passed by early this morning Smelling the strong bloody smell in this room, he called the shopkeeper and opened the door, only to find that he died here. "

Bai Yiling closed his eyes and asked, "How long has it been since you died?"

Lu Hongdao: "The murderer must have just walked away, and the body was still warm when it was discovered."

Bai Yiling nodded, seeing Yan Yang approaching, he briefly ordered: "Say."

Yan Yang said neatly: "Yes. The deceased had multiple non-fatal wounds all over his body, most of which were left by sharp knives. Among them, there were three wounds on the left shoulder, five wounds on the right arm, two wounds on the left leg, and three wounds on the lower abdomen. It is impossible for such injuries to be left in the fight. It should be that the deceased was abused without resistance. Judging from the method of stabbing the wound and the weapon, there should be only one murderer. The fatal wound is at the throat The cut was fresh, the blood was fresh, it should be the last cut."

Bai Yiling felt a little nauseous, and even more suddenly, he didn't expect this man to die so early and so quickly, in such a way.

He was silent for a while, and said: "This kind of injury, if it is not a bloody vendetta, or the murderer has a cruel personality and takes pleasure in the pain of others. From what you said, it is conceivable that the murderer gave him so many knives. The purpose is to wait for his blood to dry up and slowly die in fear and pain, maybe when the other tenants smell the smell of blood, the murderer is still in this room, Xie Taifei is not dead yet..."

When Bai Yiling said this, he suddenly asked, "Have you searched around?"

Yan Yang said: "Yes, Junshi has already found Wucheng soldiers and horses, and asked them to send people out to search for suspicious people around."

Bai Yiling said: "That's good, I'll continue. But because of their disturbance, the murderer's original plan was disrupted, so he had to give Xie Taifei the last fatal blow, and then escape. But the surroundings were strictly checked, so he would rather take the risk To leave, why not pretend to be nonchalant and hide somewhere nearby, wait until the limelight passes before leaving..."

Bai Yiling met Lu Hong's gaze, and said angrily, "Don't look at me like that, I didn't kill people, and neither did the Sheng family."

Lu Hong said: "No, Sixth Brother, I didn't mean that. I just think what you said makes sense, and normal people can't imagine it."

Bai Yiling smiled brightly at him, and said lightly, "I'm comparing my heart to my heart."

Lu Hong: "..." Think carefully about this sentence.

Yan Yang said: "Sixth brother, do you already know who the murderer is?"

Bai Yiling's expression was a little weird: "I guess Hu Peng, now I just need to confirm one more thing, and I'm sure."

Lu Hong and Yan Yang were taken aback, looked at each other, and soon two guards ran into the room and reported to Bai Yiling: "Brother Six, we checked in the dungeon just now, Fu Min is not dead, but thank you Fan is dead."

This answer was a bit unexpected for Bai Yiling, he was almost taken aback for a moment, and said, "Xie Fan?"

Lu Hong asked for him: "Why did Xie Fan run into the dungeon? Wasn't he exiled?"

Yan Yang frowned silently, with some doubts in his heart.He is the most thoughtful of all, and he also understands Bai Yiling's personality better, so he doesn't want to let him hear anything about Yongding Hou's mansion to affect his mood.

The guard said: "The subordinates don't know either. He fled without permission during his exile and found someone to replace him. After the incident, he was hunted back to the team not long ago. As a result, in the early hours of this morning, the cell boss found his body in the dungeon. It was verified that Xie Fan was correct. Fu Min was not injured..."

Speaking of this, he obediently saw Yan Yang's eyes, and didn't elaborate further.

Fu Min was not injured, but he was greatly stimulated—anyone who opened his eyes in the middle of the night and saw the corpse of his own son hanging in front of him would be half-crazy from fright even if he didn't die. The only thing she cared about was her child, so the ending was so miserable that it made people shudder.

Lu Hongdao: "I understand why the sixth brother said it was Hu Peng! When Fu Min was interrogated, he told all about him, and he was taking revenge! This person is really..."

In fact, Fu Min knew that there were not many things about him, even if he said everything, it would have no effect on Hu Peng, but in the eyes of the other party, this became a kind of rebellion, so he personally killed her son and hung it on her In front of him, it seemed that if he hadn't been discovered on the way, he still had great plans to get Xie Taifei to go there too.

So vicious.

Bai Yiling was silent for a while, then said calmly, "How is Xie Fan's death?"

"He also had multiple wounds stabbed by knives. The shape and depth of the wounds are very similar to Xie Taifei's. They should be from the same person."

Bai Yiling said: "Xie Taifei is cowardly and fearful, Fu Min has a smooth personality, and the two of them don't have many enemies. When he was interrogated a few days ago, Fu Min confessed everything he knew about Hu Peng's usual hiding place. It looks like betrayal in the eyes, and the motive of killing is also plausible."

Lu Hongdao: "Just now Brother Six wanted to emphasize that the murderer was probably interrupted in the middle of the process...so..."

He was a little uneasy: "Brother Six, do you think he will come back to finish this matter?"

Bai Yiling said: "Compare your heart to your heart, if I were him, I would."

Lu Hong: "..." Please don't say these four words again!

Bai Yiling smiled, but there was no joy in his eyes.

They talk about it, but even if they think that Hu Peng is likely to come back to complete the last step of his killing routine, there are too many variables in it. Hu Peng is cunning, and they can't always put Xie Taifei's body as bait Here, waiting for the other party to come back and hang him - that would be a fool.

Hu Peng's martial arts are extremely high, he comes and goes without a trace, and his personality is very cruel. He is really the number one dangerous person. No wonder no one can catch him after so many years of traveling between the two sides of the Jin Dynasty.

Thinking about this, Bai Yiling suddenly remembered that he is also a systematic person.

"System, can you help me track down Hu Peng's whereabouts?"

[Detecting... Sorry, the whereabouts of the murderer cannot be detected. 】

The system explained: [Originally, it was possible to find a matching partner through the detection of Xie Taifei's blood breath.Generally speaking, the murderer can be found by the system if his blood is on his body, but it can't be found now, it is very likely that the other party has eliminated this aura. 】

Bai Yiling thought for a while and said, "That's right, he would change his clothes and take a bath every time he killed someone... Wait a minute, I actually forgot about it!"

He raised his voice: "Kuoda!"

Yan Yang hurried over: "Sixth Brother?"

Bai Yiling said: "You just said that the room has been inspected, did you find any valuables?"

Yan Yang said: "No..."

Bai Yiling said: "The Hou Mansion was raided, and Xie Taifei was homeless. Under such circumstances, how could he come out to live in an inn without bringing any money with him?"

Yan Yang was very smart, and immediately said: "Sixth brother thinks that there are other people in this room?"

Bai Yiling nodded.Hu Peng only wanted his life but not money, and according to the inference just now, he didn't even have time to hang up the corpse, so it was even less likely that he would have the time to dig through Xie Taifei's things.

The most likely thing is that during the gap between Hu Peng's departure and the official arrival, some brave and desperate people came in and stole away the belongings.

Bai Yiling said: "Where's the guest who told the shopkeeper just now that the room smelled of blood? Find him!"

The messenger hurried down, came up after a while, and reported to Bai Yiling: "Brother Six, the guest has disappeared, and he didn't even return the room, nor did he take the deposit!"

Yan Yang said: "It seems that the property is very likely to be taken away by him!"

Although this person is not the murderer, he is the only clue so far. It is very likely that he will accidentally know what he saw, and maybe Hu Peng will look for him. No matter what, he should be brought back to the government office.

Bai Yiling secretly said to the system: "Look for this person. Look for him according to the smell of Xie Taifei's belongings."

This time, the system found the nearest similar aura in a wine shop opposite.

Bai Yiling walked to the window and looked towards the opposite side, only to see that the window was facing the Junjia Winery on the street, he said, "I'll go over and have a look, some of you are taking turns eating breakfast and guarding here, sending a few people to Over there in the dungeon, be careful with everything."

Yan Yang said: "I accompany you?"

With the system in hand, Bai Yiling had nothing to worry about, waved his hand, and walked out of the inn alone.

It was the morning at this time, the sky was bright and the air was clear, the sun was shining brightly, the fluff fluttered with the wind, and the amorous feelings of late spring and early summer were looming.It seems to be two completely different worlds from the bloody atmosphere inside the door just now.

As soon as Bai Yiling stepped out, the sun hit his face, making him almost unable to open his eyes.He subconsciously raised his hand to block it in front of his forehead—loved and hated, everything is over.

A bit sour and a bit melancholy in my heart, a drop of inexplicable tears fell suddenly.

——was gently rubbed away by a fluffy paw.

Bai Yiling sighed without any surprise: "His Royal Highness Huai, why do you always choose such a time to show up?"

Lu Yu, who was squatting on his shoulders, held his paws and thought about it seriously. He felt speechless, so he yelled twice childishly, trying to pretend that he didn't understand human words, so as not to be silenced.

Ever since he expressed his affection to Bai Yiling, he didn't know whether he was really busy or felt embarrassed. Bai Yiling hadn't seen Lu Yu for several days. Lu Yu was worried and didn't dare to disturb him at first. Still shamelessly turned into a fox cub, and ran over to pretend to be tender.

Bai Yiling smiled, carried him on his shoulders and walked forward. When he didn't see Lu Yu, his expressive words were always disturbed in his heart, making people upset, and they didn't know how to face him.

As a result, after meeting, Bai Yiling suddenly found that the way the two get along has not changed much, and if they continue to get along like this in the future, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

Crossing the long street and walking to the opposite wine shop, I heard many versions of rumors along the way.In the past few months, Bai Yiling has been solving crimes and becoming a marquis, and he has become a very popular figure in the capital.

Because it has only been a few days, and the news that he was poisoned before he was crowned has already spread in the public, and the truth about his life experience has been turned up by people who don't know the inside story. Although everyone guessed wildly, they still enjoy it road.

When Bai Yiling heard some outrageous claims, he couldn't help secretly laughing in his heart, opened the curtain directly, and led Lu Yu into the winery.

He has extraordinary appearance and outstanding demeanor. He should be a very eye-catching person, but a person who is usually hidden has his own ability to restrain his breath. Therefore, when he entered the door quietly, no one looked back. The shop waiter didn't come over to say hello.

Bai Yiling hadn't had breakfast yet, and after entering the door, he ordered two servings of siu mai, some side dishes and a pot of Yuqian Longjing, and asked Lu Yu, "Let's have some together?"

Lu Yu nodded repeatedly.

It happened that Xiao Er came over with something, saw this and said with a smile: "My lord, you are really intelligent in raising this little fox. You have just been weaned, right? You can already understand human speech."

Lu Yu wagged his tail more and more obediently, this guy is really getting more and more shameless, Bai Yiling pinched his small pointed nose with a half-smile, and said, "Yeah, you are so obedient."

His strike was a bit heavy, and Lu Yu felt like he was suffocating, but instead of feeling offended, he felt a warm and happy feeling spontaneously, wishing to be pinched for a while longer.He was secretly worried - he seemed to have gone crazy before he got the man.

The siu mai that Xiaoer brought up was not big, Bai Yiling almost took two or three mouthfuls, Lu Yu had a small mouth, but he could only bite a little bit, Bai Yiling looked at him with difficulty: "You said you are a good person, why? Wouldn't it be inconvenient to have to become a fox?"

Lu Yu said, "Don't you like foxes?"

Bai Yiling was stunned for a moment, Lu Yu thought, that's great, I was moved.

"Not bad." Bai Yiling agreed with him after a slight pause, "Foxes are cute and delicious. I like foxes the most."

Lu Yu: "..."

The two hadn't seen each other for several days, and they were very absorbed in their bickering, not paying attention to the people around them.After Bai Yiling finished speaking, the old storyteller in the hall suddenly raised his voice and slammed the small gong in his hand. All the guests present were attracted and looked at him.

I only heard the storyteller sing and sigh three times: "...This is 'the commander's confidante was brutally murdered, and His Royal Highness solved the riddle wisely to save his best friend'. Next time I will talk about how Fu Min reaped the fruit I have been rewarded for my sins, and if you want to know the details, please listen to the next chapter to break it down."

"..."

Bai Yiling's hands trembled, and now he poured the tea on the fox's head, put down the teacup, and thought to himself, this old man, it's okay to talk about himself as if he was dead, what the hell is a "beautiful woman"?

This story just happened to be stuck in the exciting place, and the surrounding people clamored loudly, some cheered, and some complained: "Why do you want to stop in such a place!"

"That's right, let's talk a little more!"

"I'm just sitting here waiting for you to tell me how that woman got retribution. Look at you, it's not fun at all!"

The old storyteller just laughed when he heard everyone shouting, waved his hands and said: "I'm old, I can't talk anymore, even if the guests are anxious to follow up, let the old man take a rest."

While talking, he took out a copper plate from his pocket, and walked around the table nodding and bowing.Bai Yiling sat far away, felt in his sleeve, and suddenly stopped.

When the old man asked for money, Lu Yu didn't look up at all. He was struggling with the little siu mai in front of him--Lu Yu wanted to tear off the skin of the little siu mai and eat only the stuffing inside, but the siu mai kept coming. Rolling over in the saucer, he had to hold it down with both paws, like a vicious fox pouncing on food.

It wasn't until he heard Bai Yiling take a breath that Lu Yu raised his noble little head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Yiling looked around, afraid of being heard by the shopkeeper, he said in a low voice, "I didn't bring any money."

Their positions were not too close to other tables. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Lu Yu boldly patted the table with his paw and told him, "I have."

Having the opportunity to spend money on someone you like is the happiest thing in this world!

Bai Yiling saw that he didn't look like he had brought money: "Where is it?"

Lu Yu proudly raised one of his small front legs, and behind his leg was tied a tiny pouch with red silk thread. Bai Yiling untied the siu mai-flavored pouch from his leg and poured it out. Inside was a small piece of broken silver, two A bank note is also folded very small.

Bai Yiling smiled and said, "You still know how to bring money? You brought it yourself?"

Lu Yu proudly said: "Before I came out to find you, I asked Shang Xiao to tie this to my lap. You spend it!"

I am indeed wise!

Of course, Lu Yu didn't say that when Shang Xiao tied the purse for him, he kept holding back his laughter, but he stopped after he scratched his face.

Bai Yiling smiled and put the money and bank notes on, and said: "I will lend you this money, and I will pay you back when I return home."

Lu Yu's big dangling tail stopped in mid-air, hung down, and said with a smile, "Well, good."

He bowed his head silently, and continued to bite the siu mai. Bai Yiling looked at the plate of miserable food, and couldn't help but asked again: "Do you want to go out and become a different person, and then come in and eat again?"

Lu Yu said no, it's very good, and it's no problem to eat a little siu mai, thank you for the organization's concern.

At this time, the old storyteller had wandered around to Bai Yiling and the others. Not many customers were willing to pay. He had a sad look on his face, as if he wanted to leave, but Bai Yiling beckoned someone over and gave him a small piece of money. Broken silver.

The old man was flattered and thanked him again and again. Bai Yiling's eyes seemed to sweep across his cheeks inadvertently, then he smiled and said, "You're welcome, old man."

The old storyteller nodded and bowed. Just as he was about to leave, Bai Yiling stopped him suddenly and said, "The money outside the bag is about to drop, you'd better pack it up."

The old man was holding a bag in his hand, in which he poured all the money he had just said he wanted for the book, and a string of copper coins was hanging on the edge of the bag, dangling as if it was about to fall out at any time.

Hearing what Bai Yiling said, he raised his hand to lift up his pocket to take a look, thanked him quickly, and stuffed the copper money back.

Bai Yiling watched the other person's movements with a smile, and there was an inexplicable excitement in his eyes.
