The afternoon of this day was calm, and it seemed like dusk was here in a blink of an eye.

When the sun had mostly set, Bantou He and the Yamen came to Yunlai Inn for the third time, and the middle-aged businessman also followed them back.

In the lobby on the first floor, there were many guests having dinner. As soon as they saw Bantou He walking this way, the inn suddenly became commotion. Other guests upstairs also got the news and went underground one after another. Upstairs.

Amidst the sound of "squeaking" going downstairs, the woman in green asked eagerly: "He squad leader, what did the county magistrate say? Can we leave?"

Others also looked at Bantou He expectantly. Bantou He's expression seemed much gentler than the previous two times. He said loudly: "The county magistrate said that the case can be closed, so everyone can Leave!"

This time, Bantou He finally brought everyone good news.

They can finally go on the road!

Everyone was relieved and talking to each other overjoyed. Only Boss Huang of the inn still had a sad face. So what if the case is closed? Once these customers leave, his small shop may never have a future!

The woman in green looked at the sky outside and said to the man in gray behind her: "Daddy, it's getting late and the city gate must be closed. Let's rest in the inn for one more night and meet again tomorrow morning. Let’s go.”

"Just let me eat first, and the rest is up to you!" The big man in gray responded cheerfully, strode downstairs towards a certain table, and shouted, "Boss, bring me a white-cut chicken." , three small stir-fries, and a bottle of wine."

Eat, eat, eat, just know how to eat! The woman in Tsing Yi twitched her brows silently, and followed her downstairs, where she saw Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue having dinner by the window.

The dishes on the table are very rich, including mushroom chicken soup, steamed small yellow croaker, scrambled eggs with chives, assorted vegetables, grilled **** ribs with soy sauce... the table is full. The handsome young man often served dishes to his wife sitting opposite, with a gentle look on his face.

Hey, my good husband belongs to someone else! The woman in green murmured in her heart and talked to Nangong Yue with a smile on her face: "Sister, you have such a good appetite! You are lucky to be able to eat!" There was a hint of ridicule in her tone, "Look at how thin you are now. People who don’t know better would think that your husband-in-law is preventing you from eating it!”

Nangong Yue just swallowed a piece of rib meat and was startled. Looking back now, she seemed to have eaten a lot today... Wait a minute!

Nangong Yue thought of something and sat there blankly, looking at Xiao Yi's shining peach blossom eyes, and even forgot to put down the chopsticks in her hand...

Sensing that the atmosphere seemed a bit strange, the woman in green smiled stiffly and walked away.

The night gradually got darker, and the inn was very lively that night. Most of the guests stayed, planning to stay one more night and wait until dawn tomorrow before leaving.

This night, the night sky after being washed by rain looked like black brocade. In the middle of the night, the moon and stars were sparse, and the crescent moon looked down like a huge eye...

The sound of the gong at midnight gradually faded away. It was quiet inside and outside the inn, and the guests had already fallen asleep.

Suddenly, there was a "squeak" in the darkness, and the back door of the inn was opened from the inside. A green figure came out and sneaked into the stable...

A cool night breeze blew by, making the branches and leaves in the courtyard rustle. A clear male voice suddenly sounded in the night: "Ah Yue, are you cold? In fact, I leave this small matter to Zhou Great achievements..."

The man in the stable trembled slightly and became stiff.

Following that, I saw the light outside. I don’t know when a pair of young men appeared outside the stable, holding hands. In the young man’s right hand, he held a luminous pearl as big as a dragon’s eye, which was shining brightly and illuminated. All around, it was the young man named "Lin Yi" and his wife.

Nangong Yue was wrapped in a light purple cloak and looked into the stable with clear eyes, saying: "No matter what grudges you have with Mrs. Zhong and Master Ding, you will not hesitate to kill people, but that Mrs. Ma But this is the first time I met you." The Madam Ma Nangong Yue was talking about was the woman in green.

"You are murderous in order to eliminate hidden dangers. You have lost your original intention!" Nangong Yue took the luminous pearl from Xiao Yi's hand. As he spoke, he took another half step forward and met the people in the stable. They looked at each other and called out gently, "Mrs. Ding."

In the gleaming light of the night, the woman in the green cloak in the stable could not be seen at all. The look of panic could not be concealed on her pale face. She was none other than Mrs. Ding.

Mrs. Ding pulled the cloak on her body and said to Nangong Yue doubtfully: "Mrs. Lin, what do you mean by this? I just couldn't sleep at night, so I came down to the stable to take a look at my carriage. After all, I am leaving tomorrow. We're going home." As she said this, she looked at the carriage behind her, "Mrs. Ma's carriage is somewhat similar to my carriage. The stable was dark just now, so I admitted my mistake."

Looking at Mrs. Ding's deep and quiet eyes, Nangong Yue continued: "Mrs. Ma is not careful in what she says or does. She accidentally discovered something, but even she herself didn't know what it meant. Ding Madam, the speaker has no intention and the listener has the intention, so you are afraid, you can't tolerate her... You are afraid that one day she will figure out the doubts in Master Ding's death."

Hearing this, Mrs. Ding's slender figure became so stiff that she seemed to be frozen instantly. She raised her voice slightly and said: "Mrs. Lin, don't talk nonsense, I don't understand what you are talking about! ”

Some people just can’t bear to see the Yellow River. Xiao Yi curled her lips with a half-smile, leaning against the door frame to watch the Crown Princess show off her talents.

Nangong Yue sighed quietly, her eyes calm, "I remember Mrs. Ma said in the morning that she was awakened by a noise coming from next door. There was only one noise, which meant that it should be a stool falling to the ground. There was a loud sound, but there was no sound of a cup breaking."

Mrs. Ding’s face was as pale as paper, with the last trace of blood gone.

I heard Nangong Yue's gentle and cold voice echoing in the stable: "Mrs. Ding, there was a charcoal basin in the room where Mr. Ding committed suicide by hanging from the beam. There were broken celadon teapots, tea cups and flowing tea on the floor, but... I didn’t hear the sound of the teapot or teacup being broken. Why was that? Someone was probably afraid that the sound of breaking the tea set would be heard by others, so they went somewhere else to break it secretly, and then deliberately scattered the pieces on the floor..."

"Mrs. Lin, are you implying that I dropped the teapot and teacup? However, whether it was me who dropped it or my master who dropped it, it was just a broken tea set. What does it matter if you commit suicide?" Mrs. Ding finally couldn't help but interrupted Nangong Yue, and said plausibly, "Mrs. Lin, don't forget, Team Leader He said that my master was hanging from the beam between half past midnight and six o'clock today. He committed suicide. At that time, both Boss Huang and the second brother could prove that my maid and I had breakfast in the lobby."

A horse neighed and paced gently, which was especially loud in this silent stable.

Facing Mrs. Ding’s stubborn and deep eyes, Nangong Yue said vigorously:

"Liu Wuzuo said at the time that Mr. Ding had been dead for less than an hour, but he could detect the time of Mr. Ding's death, but could not find out when Mr. Ding was hanged. The key to this murder case is still the unknown. When did the tea set get broken, or rather, it was the water in the tea set! The broken teapot and tea cup were just to cover up the tea in that place."

"This morning, before you went downstairs for breakfast, you had already drugged Master Ding to stun him, and then worked together with the maid to make him stand on the stool with his feet and his neck hanging from the cantilever. At that time, Ding The master is not dead yet. In order to avoid the suspicion of murder, you deliberately moved some hands and feet and put ice cubes under the stool. Then, you and the maid left the room, but the charcoal fire placed next to the ice cubes will accelerate the ice cubes. The block melted, and when the stool under Mr. Ding's feet slipped to the ground, he was naturally strangled to death by the hemp rope around his neck..."

"No one else can do such a complicated arrangement in your room, and only you, Mrs. Ding, can I ask if I am right?"

When she said the last sentence, Nangong Yue looked at Mrs. Ding again.

But this time, Mrs. Ding looked away hastily, half-lowering her eyelids. After a moment, she raised her eyes and said again: "Mrs. Lin's imagination is really rich. Don't forget, when Mrs. Zhong died, I always I have never left my room. Mrs. Ma can prove this for me..."

"Kuaozhi." Nangong Yue suddenly uttered two words, and Mrs. Ding's words stopped abruptly. Her pupils shrank sharply and she stared at Nangong Yue in disbelief.

Nangong Yue smiled slightly and continued: "Although it was midnight when Mrs. Zhong died last night, she put on lipstick, which means she made an appointment with someone that night. If the person she made an appointment with was the murderer, then He put the poison in the tea cup, and after killing someone, he could have thrown the cup away instead of leaving evidence."

But Wu Zuo did detect poison in the tea and on the rim of the cup. Nangong Yue suddenly thought of the time when she mixed Wuhe ointment in the lipstick on her clothes, and felt that the poison must have been planted in Zhong. On the lady's lips.

"Mrs. Ding, if it were you who adopted such a roundabout method of poisoning, you must ensure that you are not suspected. That night, only Mrs. Ding had the most accurate alibi!"

Mrs. Ding's body couldn't help but tremble, like a small boat on a stormy night.

Nangong Yue continued: "The following is my guess. The box of lipstick used by Mrs. Zhong must have been given to her by Master Ding tonight, right? But Master Ding didn't know that you had already secretly opened the box of lipstick. The fat is poisoned."

"Maybe last night because Master Ding was going to leave, Mrs. Zhong deliberately sent away her maid. The two met in Mrs. Zhong's room. Mrs. Zhong unsuspectingly applied the lipstick given by her lover, and then When she drank tea, the toxin was introduced into her mouth along with the tea, and she died suddenly. I am afraid that Mr. Ding witnessed Mrs. Zhong's poisoning at that time, but he thought the tea was poisoned and was worried that he would be accused of being the murderer, so he did not dare He quietly returned to your room without making any noise, and begged you not to tell you that he had left. This is of course what you want!"

"Also, you should have put the square mandarin duck handkerchief on Mr. Ding's body, right? In order to draw suspicion to Mr. Ding..."

Mrs. Ding's feet went weak, and she knelt down on the cold ground of the stable with a "plop". She smiled miserably, then looked up at Nangong Yue, with determination in her embarrassment, and gritted her teeth and said: "I killed him. The two of them! The prince follows his wolfish ambition and is not worthy of being a human being at all!"

Wizhishun is Mr. Ding’s original name. He changed his name to Ding Zishun after he married into the Ding family.

Recalling the past, Mrs. Ding's expression overflowed with deep sadness and she slowly spoke.

The Ding family has been passed down for three generations since her great-grandfather. In her generation, she has only one daughter. Her parents had already planned to let their second cousin from their second aunt's family marry into the Ding family.

But when she was fourteen years old, her second cousin fell into the water and died. At that time, Wang Zishun went to find Mr. Ding in person and said that he wanted to repay the Ding family for supporting his education for many years and was willing to marry into the Ding family. Mrs. Ding was moved by Wang Zishun's feelings and agreed.

The two of them got married when she was sixteen years old. In the following ten years, the Ding family suffered many misfortunes. She had several miscarriages and only gave birth to a frail and sick daughter. Her father, Mr. Ding, was killed when he went out to collect debts. Mrs. Ding was severely hit by the thief's return, suffered a stroke, and is now half-paralyzed...

As she spoke, Mrs. Ding’s eyes were red, filled with hatred, anger, and unwillingness. Her voice became hoarse: “Half a month ago, he made a drunken gaffe, and I overheard his drunken remarks. , I learned that his second cousin was pushed into the water by him, that my father was killed by someone he found, and that the reason why I had repeated miscarriages was because of him... Now, most of my Ding family's property has fallen into the hands of his prince Shun. In his hands, as long as they kill me next, the Ding family will be the target of this pair of adulterers. Killing for life, I am just avenging my family and protecting myself!" She almost screamed when she said it later.

"But Mrs. Ma is innocent." Nangong Yue still said the same thing. In her opinion, Mrs. Ding has lost her true nature. In order to escape the crimes she committed, she does not hesitate to hurt innocent people.

At this time, Xiao Yi took a step forward. While adjusting Nangong Yue's cloak, he said casually to Mrs. Ding: "Revenge is revenge. You can't take revenge in your own house?!"

Nangong Yue was stunned, her eyes were a little dazed, and she couldn't help but think of the events in her previous life. In her previous life, when Xiao Yi was twenty-five years old, she single-handedly broke into the Zhennan Palace, killed her brother and father, and bloodbathed the Zhennan Palace...

"..." Mrs. Ding's pale lips moved and she could no longer speak.

"Ayue, it's time for you to go back and rest." Xiao Yi said again seriously, casually flicking his fingers, and Zhou Dacheng appeared.

Soon, the surroundings became quiet... Until the next morning, when the sun rose again, the Yamen's Yamen came to Yunlai Inn for the fourth time. In the shocked eyes of everyone, Mrs. Ding and Xia Lian He was taken away by the Yamen.

Before leaving, Zhou Dacheng sent a picture with words to Boss Huang, saying: "Boss, this is a gift from my young master and his wife. I wish you a prosperous business in the future."

Boss Huang opened the rice paper rolled into a cylinder suspiciously and saw four big characters written on it -

Guests come like clouds.

Boss Huang's eyes finally fell on the red seal in the lower left corner, and then he stared in disbelief and shouted: "No need to close the door! My inn does not need to close the door!" Describing madness.

Mrs. Ma also came over to take a look curiously, and saw that there were two words on the seal: "Xiao Yi".

Xiao Yi, what a familiar name!

Mrs. Ma blinked slowly. For a moment, the events of the past two days flashed through her mind. She had a flash of inspiration and blurted out:

"Nangong Yi! I know, it's Nangong Yi!"
