When the girl in Tsing Yi saw Xie Yixiang, she immediately smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I was about to go to the torture room to ask for a meeting, and I didn't want the third lady to come in person." www.biquge.info I was in a hurry that night, and I didn't have time to thank you. ”

Xie Yixiang said that she never thought that she would see this woman again in Lord Xu's mansion, so that she would have the opportunity to see her appearance clearly. But seeing that her complexion is snow-white, her eyebrows are picturesque, and her red lips are full of smiles, she is faintly out of the world. However, the Xie family and the Xu family have been neighbors for many years, and they have had many contacts with each other, but Xie Yixiang has never seen this girl, and it can't help but be strange to see her appear here at this moment.

The woman was surprised when she saw Xie Yixiang's face, and said with a smile: "It's me who was rude, and I haven't reported my name yet." The little woman's surname is Ning, and her single name is a single character. ”

As soon as her words fell, Master Xu, the father of the Burmean Rong, had already walked out of the hall. Although Lord Xu has been re-elected as a historian of two dynasties, he is only in his forties, and when he saw Xie Yixiang visiting, he nodded his head to greet him, and said: "Yixiang, this is Ning Cuining's girl, if you think about it, she is still a distant relative of today's Prime Minister Ning Mucao." This time, she went to Beijing to visit relatives, and in order to avoid suspicion, she temporarily lived in the old man's house. ”

Xie Yixiang suddenly realized that Nan Ning Chengxiang was the head of the Chinese officials of the dynasty, and her father was one article and one martial artist, and was regarded as a model for a hundred officials. Today's emperor is extremely suspicious, everyone has seen Bi Wuzong and Mr. Qingtian's rabbit dead dog cooking, is that Prime Minister Ning knew that he was unavoidable, so he went around to form gangs and factions, and most of the officials in the DPRK and China formed a line, vowing to advance and retreat together. In this way, if the emperor wants to find an opportunity to deal with him, it is equivalent to going against most of the court, and then causing the anger of the people, so he has to throw a mouse and forbear, which is called the law not controlling the people.

However, those who have a little insight know too well the methods of the current emperor. Prime Minister Ning's move seems to be united, but in fact, it is a mantis arm as a car. So many people have drawn a line with this Ning Cheng and avoided it. This Ning Cui came to Beijing this time and stayed in Lord Xu's mansion, most of which was because of this reason to avoid suspicion.

Thinking about this, Xie Yixiang couldn't help but have a good impression of Ning Cui in front of her, and hurriedly replied: "Miss Ning is polite, I didn't help you in a hurry that night." Yes, Miss Ning caught that later...... That whore?"

Ning Cui smiled and said: "The lewd thief that the third lady said is Wu Shengxi, the 'horse face' in the so-called 'bull head and horse noodles' on the rivers and lakes. That night, I chased him all the way to the Qinhuai River, and when the rain stopped, I had no worries and killed him in the Qinhuai River. Those Qinglou women who were bullied by him, if they knew that he died in the first place of fireworks in the world, they should also relieve their hatred. ”

Xie Yixiang was slightly surprised when she heard her kind tone, very friendly, and the cold frost that night, she was slightly surprised, and Lord Xu on the side had already interjected and said: "Yixiang, don't look at this Ning girl, she is not very old, she has long been used to wandering in the rivers and lakes, she can be regarded as a person of temperament, and she has always been jealous and hateful." The one she wants to kill must be the one who deserves to be killed. I know that although Yixiang is in the public gate, you respect the heroes on the rivers and lakes very much, and I hope you don't have to embarrass her. ”

Xie Yixiang smiled and said: "Uncle Shi is too worried, eliminating evil is doing good, since she is a person who does good, how can the torture room embarrass her......? The prostitute thief is on the wanted list of the imperial court, and Miss Ning's righteous act can also go to the torture room to receive the reward. ”

Lord Xu laughed when he heard this, but when he thought of his deceased beloved daughter, he couldn't help but sink his face and sighed: "Fortunately, I am accompanied by Miss Ning these days, otherwise I am afraid that my crippled body will not be able to survive the pain of losing my daughter." Seeing that the white silk in the house was hanging high, a family member was wearing linen and filial piety, and there was also a mourning hall for the Burmese Banyan in the hall, Xie Yixiang felt pain in her heart, so she remembered her intention and said: "Uncle Shi, I came here to investigate the case of the face-tearing demon, and I want to ask you something about the Burmese Banyan." ”

When Lord Xu heard this, he stood up straight like a pine, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to support it and fall. I only heard him say: "The torture room has been routinely questioned that night, Yixiang, you were also present at the time, what else do you have to ask?"

Xie Yixiang found that his eyes were bloodshot, and he knew that he had lost his beloved daughter, so he naturally didn't want to mention the sadness. However, in order to solve the case and avenge the Rong Rong, he had to ask: "Please forgive Uncle Shi, please think about it carefully, what was unusual in the mouth of the Rong Rong before she was killed?"

According to Yan Sidao's analysis, the face-ripping demon originally wanted to take something from the victim's mouth, but because he couldn't ask for it, he tore the victim's face in anger to vent. However, what is there in the mouths of these deceased people that is worthy of such a painful hand from the face-ripping demon? I saw Master Xu's face inexplicable, and he asked rhetorically, "...... What do you mean by that?"

Xie Yixiang also knew that her question was a little inexplicable, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration and blurted out, "Then did she eat anything unusual before she died?"

As soon as this sentence came out, even Xie Yixiang herself was stunned. The thing that the Faceripper was looking for may not be in the victim's mouth, but something special that they had eaten before their death, which made the Faceripper have murderous intentions?

Master Xu pondered for a moment, shook his head, and muttered, "She really hasn't eaten anything special other than her normal diet. Xie Yixiang still didn't give up, and asked: "This matter is very important, please think about it." ”

Lord Xu thought for a long time, and then sighed and said: "Yixiang, you know the Burmese Rong, she has been a picky eater since she was a child, if you want to say that she has eaten anything abnormal, it is absolutely impossible. ”

Xie Yixiang was suddenly disappointed, Zhuang Haoming once taught her that she should "make bold assumptions and carefully verify the case" when investigating the case. This time, under the guidance of that speech, although he made the most reasonable assumptions, he could not be confirmed after all, and in the end it could only be an empty joy.

She was secretly depressed, but Ning Cui on the side suddenly asked, "Does Fu Shui count?"

Xie Yixiang didn't understand yet, but Lord Xu had a strange face, and said with some doubts: "Fu Shui, if you are talking about Fu Shui, Mian Rong has taken it, but it was eighteen years ago." At that time, Burmese Rong was born only a few months ago, and accidentally suffered from a cold and a high fever that did not go away for several days. It happened to be the turbulent era of the change of dynasty, and the few remaining Fang Lang in the city were all helpless, so I had to go to Taiyuan Temple overnight to ask my old friend Xiyi Zhenren for help, he just gave Mian Rong a drink of talisman water, and he recovered in an instant. Now, if Miss Ning hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it, but I don't know this and that...... What does it matter if the face-ripping demon kills people?"

This Taoist method called "swallowing talisman" to get rid of illness, Xie Yixiang has heard of some of it. It is said that this method first writes the mantra of curing illness on the yellow paper, burns it into ashes with an ever-bright lamp, and then mixes it into the divine water blessed by the immortals, it becomes the so-called "Fu Shui". It is said that the higher the mana of the Taoist who recorded the mantra, the more effective the rune water would be.

However, now that the white-haired old Taoist priest Xiyi Zhenren is involved, the matter unconsciously points to the Taiyuan Temple on the Purple Mountain. Although Xie Yixiang faintly felt a little strange in her heart, it would be too far-fetched to insist that she had drunk Xiyi Zhenren's talisman water eighteen years ago, and what had to do with the current face-tearing demon case.

Besides, although that Xiyi Zhenren is not a good person, not long ago Xie Yixiang saw him find trouble with Xie Fengxuan, but Lord Xu and Xiyi Zhenren are both people who have gone through two dynasties, and they secretly have some private families, so it is reasonable for Burmese Rong to take a rune water for him. She was puzzled, but Ning Cui shook her head and said, "But as far as I know, it seems that Mian Rong has been in contact with Taiyuan Guan outside the city for all these years, and maybe he has taken Fu Shui a few times in private, but I don't know." ”

Master Xu thought for a while, then nodded, and said: "That's true, it's just that although Mian Rong has been to the Taiyuan Temple a few times, for no reason, she is afraid that she will not drink that talisman water." Even if she did, she would have told me. Ning Cui just said "um" and stopped talking.

Xie Yixiang was puzzled, but she didn't know why. She chatted with Master Xu for a few more words, but couldn't ask for any more useful information, so she had to bow down and leave.

Ning Cui sent Xie Yixiang out of the Xu Mansion all the way, and just as she was about to separate, she suddenly looked solemn, lowered her voice and said, "How much does the third lady know about Taiyuan Concept?" Xie Yixiang frowned slightly, knowing that Ning Cui had something to say to herself, she didn't move at the moment, but just asked: "Taiyuan View of Purple Mountain?"

Ning Cui nodded and said, "Since the third lady is Miss Mianrong's best friend, she should know that Lord Xu and Xiyi Zhenren are old friends, and they have been in private for more than twenty years. Xie Yixiang was slightly stunned and said, "Miss Ning, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it." ”

Ning Cui looked around cautiously and said, "This is not the place to talk, please come with me." If I'm not mistaken, I already know the motive of the Faceripper. ”
