After a long silence, Liu Wei asked abruptly, "Will anyone come from the capital today?"
Tang Qin'er died in the street. After the incident happened yesterday, Qingfeng Town sent people to Beijing to report to the officials. Once the Beijing Yamen accepted the case, they would rush to the scene of the incident as soon as possible. So today, people should have arrived
"What are you going to do?" Rong Leng looked at Liu Wei.
Liu Wei looked at the yellow talisman again: "I'm thinking, since this secret letter is hidden next to Tang Qin'er's body, who wrote this letter and who is going to give it to?"
Rong Leng understood what she meant, but didn't understand: "Do you think it has something to do with Beijing?"
"This is a reverse reasoning under logical circumstances." Liu Wei said: "Tang Qin'er was killed and her body should be kept by the government. Even her mother Wu
She also has no right to take it away, so after hiding the secret letter in her coffin, the first person who gets close to the coffin and Tang Qin'er's body has the best chance of discovering it.
Is the person to whom the secret letter is to be delivered? "
Rong Ling lowered his eyes, got up, and walked back.
Xiao Li asked puzzledly, "Where is Uncle Rong going?"
"Go buy yellow paper." Liu Wei said: "This secret letter is someone delivering information, but you accidentally discovered the secret letter in the middle, and it was turned into the dirty look it is now, so
Therefore, if it is true as I infer, the secret letter was written to someone in the capital yamen, then before the person arrives, we need to leave the secret letter intact
Going back, only in this way can we get the conclusive answer we want at the critical moment. "
Xiao Li listened blankly for a while, but didn't understand again: "Could it be, isn't it written for that woman last night? Mother, I know that woman. I met her in Qingyun Kingdom."
Liu Wei nodded: "Her name is Liu Yue. You have indeed met her, but she is not the one who received the secret letter. If she were, she would not return without success after rummaging through Tang Qin'er's body, but her
Knowing that there was such a thing, maybe she also wanted to intercept the secret letter halfway, but she didn't have enough means, she didn't have enough eyesight, and finally got nothing. "
Xiao Li pouted: "I don't like her, I think she is very bad."
Liu Wei laughed, and patted her son's head: "Liu Yue has always done things purposefully, in the past, and should be now, I don't know why she pretends to be another person, but her temper
It's really not good to be too treacherous. If it is not necessary, I don't want to have too much involvement with her. "
Rong Leng came back after leaving for a while. He took a stack of yellow paper, compared it with the original rune pattern, and drew it again. After drawing, he carefully confirmed the yellow paper with Xiao Li.
Which part of Tang Qin'er's body was hidden before, after getting the answer, she left again.
This time when he left, Liu Wei was with him.
In fact, it was just to put something away, Liu Wei didn't need to go with her, but perhaps because of this secret letter, there were some uncertain doubts about Tang Qin'er's death, so Liu Wei planned to go and see for herself.
The ancestral hall of Qingfeng Town stood at the first bend to the north of the entrance of Qingfeng Town. The two of them walked through the main street, bypassed the large lotus pond behind them, and planned to take a shortcut to the back door of the ancestral hall.
The quiet and lonely path covered by the trees, the two walked briskly, not intending to enjoy the scenery along the way, but when they were about to leave the path, Liu Wei suddenly stopped,
Looking back to the opposite side of the lotus pond.
Opposite the lotus pond is a side street with a far-reaching location. The water in the whole lotus pond is green and the moss is dense.
The brown figure was revealed.
It was a middle-aged man, with a sad face and weak spirits. He was holding a small basket in his hand, which contained a few light things. He squatted by the lotus pond, slowly
Slowly took out some things, Liu Wei stared at them and saw at a glance that they were joss stick paper money.
Rong Leng suddenly grabbed her wrist, pulled her aside, and dodged sideways.
Only then did Liu Wei see that there was another person following the alley, but the person who came was an acquaintance. It was the Sister Liu whom they had met when they arrived in Qingfeng Town on the first day, and the former mayor Liu Guang.
sister.
"Today is her taboo, so why don't you bring her something like this? Liu Guang, she is your own daughter, can you have a conscience?!"
Sister Liu scolded the brown man in front for a while, halfway through, Liu Wei understood that today was Liu Xiniang's birthday, and the man in brown was exactly what they were looking for at the beginning
Liu Guang, the former mayor of the town, and the lotus pond in front of them...
It was the place where Liu Xiniang fell into the water and drowned.
At this time, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and the surrounding vegetation made rustling sounds. Liu Guang, who was opposite, silently lit incense for his deceased daughter.
His debts, and even his wife's disgust at home made this man who had gone through many vicissitudes even more desolate, and his sister scolded him behind him, every word made him numb
heart, more tired.
Liu Wei looked at all this from the other side, and sighed: "It seems that the rumor that Liu Xiniang was sacrificed to death by her father is indeed true."
A person's behavior can be faked, but the body's instinctive reaction cannot be faked. Looking at the two sides of the strait, Liu Wei can see that at least at this moment, Liu Guang's longing for his deceased daughter
Read it.
Liu Guang lost his wife in his early years and lived with his daughter. Later, he was introduced by someone and married Xu Xian, but he didn't want to marry an unvirtuous wife.
His son is also seriously ill, living in poverty, and the position of mayor has also been replaced. His life is like a pool of stagnant water. He has become what he is now.
Take it yourself.
It's just a pity that Liu Xiniang, a beautiful girl, has a poor life.
It's getting late, and I don't know when the official affairs in Beijing will come, Rong Leng looked at Liu Wei and signaled that she should go.
Liu Wei turned her head and responded softly, as she had planned in advance, she went out of the path and saw the back door of the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall is a public place in the town, there is no obstruction, but it is still early, and the back door is not open, Liu Wei looked around to make sure no one was passing by, and jumped up with Rong Leng, turned over
the wall.
Tang Qin'er's body was placed in the main hall. After the two entered, they went straight to the hall, and saw a huge coffin lying horizontally in the center of the hall.
Rong Leng took out the yellow talisman, and Liu Wei went to release it in person.
When moving Tang Qin'er's body, she froze for a moment, staring suspiciously at Tang Qin'er's legs.
"What's wrong?" Rong Ling asked lightly.
Liu Wei squinted her eyes, stretched out her hand, and lifted Tang Qin'er's skirt. Under the skirt were her feet in obscene pants, because Mrs. Wu came here yesterday and changed Tang Qin'er's clothes.
What she is wearing now is not the same clothes as when she was killed yesterday, but her legs were stabbed yesterday by Li Po, and there should be blood oozing out, but after changing her clothes, it is impossible for the blood to leak out.
exposed.
Liu Wei faintly had a bad premonition, clenched her fists, and suddenly pulled off Tang Qin'er's pants.
Rong Leng turned his eyes away immediately.
Liu Wei looked at Tang Qin'er's legs covered in cloth, and was dumbfounded!
