The hall was spacious and bright, with Xiao Yunfan sitting on a grand master's chair and Tingyun standing beside him. Yan Qi and notaries from other sects were in charge of listening. The statement of the person who was heard is recorded by a special person. The person must have his or her fingerprints pressed personally. After all the observers have no objections, they will also sign their name and have their fingerprints pressed.
With this fair and strict hearing system, we can avoid lynching and beat people into submission. It also prevents various sects from discussing this matter in the future.
Xiao Yunfan signaled to Yan Qi, who waved his hand. A man with a bruise on his left cheek walked up to the crowd in frustration. He said with tears: "The little man is Chunlai, and he is the eldest son's personal servant. Unexpectedly, the little man had a stomachache that night and did not attend to the eldest son. Young Master...he was actually killed by a powerful ghost."
Xiao Yunfan said: "Why are you so sure it's a fierce ghost?" Na Chunlai glanced at the Yan Guan family and seemed hesitant to say anything. Xiao Yunfan said: "Speak your mind directly. You don't have to look at other people's eyes to act. Everyone here will uphold justice for you." Chun Lai thought for a while and said: "The eldest son is dressed in red and has embroidered shoes on his feet. This is not possessed by a strong ghost. What is the body?"
Xiao Yunfan nodded and asked: "Then what's the matter with the bruise on your cheek?" Chunlai replied: "The eldest son hit you." Xiao Yunfan asked again: "Can the eldest son hit you on weekdays? Chun Lai shook his head and said, "He rarely fights on weekdays. He only fights when he makes a mistake."
Xiao Yunfan raised his palm, signaling him to stand up and reply. Then he asked: "Chunlai, since you are the eldest young master's personal servant, you naturally know all about the eldest young master's whereabouts. In front of the big guys, after you killed the eldest lady, you reported the eldest young master's whereabouts to us truthfully."
At the beginning of this spring, I was chattering and talking about a lot of irrelevant things. Until he said that in the evening, the eldest son came back from outside and was very angry. He originally wanted to persuade the eldest son to go to the wake, but he was slapped for no reason. The eldest son's temper was usually like this, so he naturally didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he had to go and watch his wife's funeral. Naihe ate some snacks, but his stomach continued to feel uncomfortable, so he never returned to the eldest son's residence.
Xiao Yunfan whispered to Tingyun: "Xianmei, go back and check about the snack." Tingyun nodded and kept this in mind. When Chun Chun finished speaking, he brought the second young master's personal servant, Agui. It's a pity that there isn't much useful information from Agui.
In order to sort out the clues as soon as possible, Xiao Yunfan thought that he must have overlooked some important clues, and the scene of the murder should be carefully investigated. Red clothes and embroidered shoes are the key to this case. Why did these two women, Jin Lan four years ago and Bai'er two years ago, wear red clothes when they died?
If the eldest lady was hanged from the beam, was it the murderer who did it deliberately to avenge Jin Lan? But the second son's head was knocked open and the eldest son's head was beheaded in a way that seemed different from Bai'er's death by falling into a well. If the same murderer killed them, how did this murderer complete the secret room murder?
He walked towards the main room where the eldest lady had been hanged, and stood under the beam, holding his chin in one hand and looking around. At this time, Shui Hanyan came over and looked above. Xiao Yunfan turned around and saw her saying, "Sister Yan, are you also interested in this case?" Shui Hanyan said, "I'm not interested, I just want to see how Brother Xiao peels off the cocoons to find the truth of the matter."
Xiao Yunfan shook his head, jumped onto the wooden beam, and bent down like a civet cat to check. He stretched out his hand and wiped it. There was a lot of dust on the beam. The strange thing is that there is very little dust on the beam where the eldest lady hanged herself.
He briefly recalled that when he inspected the eldest lady's body that day, there was a lot of dust on the hair on the back of her head and on the back of her clothes. Xiao Yunfan lay flat on the beam, looking at the roof tiles, and then rolled to one side. Shui Hanyan's face turned pale and he shouted: "Brother Xiao!"
Xiao Yunfan landed lightly on the ground. He stretched out his hand to dust off the dust on his body and said to himself: "So that's how it is." Shui Hanyan walked to him, stretched out her hand and beat his chest, and said: "Hey! Where are you? So scary? Do you know? You just fell down from such a high place, and my heart jumped into my throat."
Xiao Yunfan said apologetically: "It's my fault for making Sister Yan frightened. I was just thinking about something, but I forgot that you were still watching from below." Shui Hanyan dusted off the dirt on his body and said, "Have you finally figured it out? What?" Xiao Yunfan said: "I figured out how the murderer killed the eldest lady. But how he cleverly left the secret room, I didn't figure it out."
Shui Hanyan asked: "Is it possible that Brother Xiao made a mistake, or someone created an illusion to confuse you, making you mistakenly believe that the eldest lady died in the secret room." Xiao Yunfan said: "The person who cleaned the inner room that day The four maids Lilac, Peony, Peony, and Rhododendron all gave their confessions at Mao Shi, and the people guarding the mourning hall also saw them at Mao Shi.
This room was closed at three o'clock at three o'clock on the previous day, and was not opened again until the beginning of the next day at nine o'clock. In other words, no one will enter or leave the room during this period. Under such impossible circumstances, the murderer actually did it. I once thought about whether the other party was using a secret passage to move the body to create the illusion of a secret room. Weiweiba
However, I carefully knocked the floor tiles here and had people sprinkle water on them, but I didn't find any trace of the secret passage. So this has always bothered me. Shui Hanyan nodded and said, "Brother Xiao, since we can't find anything here for the time being, let's go look elsewhere." "
The two went to Yan Zhenting's residence again. Shui Hanyan asked on the road: "Brother Xiao, how many days do you plan to find out the case?" Xiao Yunfan said: "I can't say how many days, I can only do my best." Shui Hanyan said: "You said this Could it be that someone from the Ghost Sect secretly controlled and did all this? In addition to the mole we caught, is there another mole who is hiding deeper? "
Xiao Yunfan frowned slightly and said: "Sister Yan, I have thought about what you are talking about. But I think the possibility of its existence is extremely low." Shui Hanyan said: "Why?" Xiao Yunfan said: "You think about it, ghost The prime minister's plan that day was to expose the secrets of various martial arts sects in front of the Central Plains martial arts people.
The Chishui Gang's privacy has been exposed and their reputation has been ruined. Their goal has been achieved, and the mole who should be exposed was exposed that night. Could it be that there is a mole who refuses to reveal his identity and continues to lurk. Wouldn't it be stupid if he was accidentally killed by his companions? So the possibility of this is extremely low. Shui Hanyan nodded and said, "That's true." "
But after Xue Lanyi rescued Feng Miaoqing, she found good medicine to nourish her every day, and the wounds on her hands and feet gradually healed. Who can speak with a weak voice, but her voice is as hoarse as that of an old woman. Xue Lanyi said regretfully: "My child, mother-in-law, I have tried my best. Now tell me your experience."
Feng Miaoqing's head was still wrapped with a bandage. She said in a hoarse voice: "Grandma Xue, it's all my fault for being selfish and willful. In order to find Brother Xiao, I left a letter for your sect and left without saying goodbye. Later I met Young Master Lin from Shenjian Pavilion... …”
Listening to her telling these miserable experiences, Xuelanyi held her in her arms and comforted her: "My child, your mother-in-law is also sad for you when you encounter such a tragedy. But if a person sinks like this, what will happen to him in his life?" The situation is over." Feng Miaoqing said bitterly: "No, mother-in-law. I will not perish, I... I want revenge."
Xuelanyi held her hand and said, "If you think so, you have finally lived up to my mother-in-law's hard work. After a person has experienced unbearable pain, the first thing a person must have is the courage to survive.
Death makes things clear, but living is the most difficult thing. As for what you do with your life, that's another matter. But you want revenge, mother-in-law, I understand, but after revenge, what will you do? "
Feng Miaoqing said: "I, I didn't think about it. Anyway, I have no face to see Brother Xiao again. When I take my revenge, I will find a place where there is no one and live an old age." Xue Lanyi said: "Good boy, My mother-in-law had a lot of regrets in the past, and from today onwards I will pass on all my martial arts skills to you as a way of making amends."
Feng Miaoqing looked at Xue Lanyi with both eyes and said gratefully in her heart: "Grandma Xue, but I am not a disciple of Xuannv Palace, how can I learn the martial arts of Xuannv Palace?" Xue Lanyi said slowly: "I owe you this. Yes, I should repay you. You and I do not refer to each other as masters and disciples, but as ancestors and grandsons. From today on, I will teach you a set of introductory cultivation methods. After you learn this set of methods, I will improve your future martial arts. The environment is of great benefit”
Feng Miaoqing was moved in her heart and said, "Thank you, mother-in-law." Zifu, the spirit travels to the ninth heaven." After reading, she asked: "Mother-in-law, what does this sentence mean?"
Xue Lanyi said: "The white light is moonlight. The inner strength of our sect is mainly feminine, and when practicing, you need to breathe in the moonlight. The energy of the moonlight is introduced into the Zifu. This Zifu is the language of Taoist practice. , in fact, the Purple Mansion represents the eight extraordinary meridians on the human body. When practicing this "Xuan Nu Gong Technique", breathe in and out in front of the moonlight for an hour every day, and then sit quietly and meditate for an hour."
Feng Miaoqing thought to herself: "So, this Xuannv's technique is quite simple." Xue Lanyi seemed to see through her mind and smiled: "Do you think breathing and exhaling at this hour is easy?" Feng Miaoqing said: "Is there another way to breathe in and out?" Xue Lanyi said: "Exactly, since our technique is called "Xuan Nu Kung Fu", then you should have guessed that the number of breath in and out is nine.
Every nine times you do it is counted as one yuan, and it will not be effective until you sit for nine times. Don't underestimate the art of breathing and exhalation. If you practice it well, your skill will increase even in your sleep. Sitting and meditating practice the power of state of mind. Every time you practice, you must be clear of desire, otherwise you will easily get distracted. If the skill is shallow, distraction will not be a big problem; if the skill is deep, it will be easy to become possessed. "
Feng Miaoqing silently remembered every word she said and thought about it over and over again. One teaches with all his resources, and the other studies with an open mind. Feng Miaoqing quickly understood the introductory tips of "Xuan Nu Kung Fu".
