Qinghe Town, Zhou Mansion.
Liu Yijin looked at the tea brought by Xiaorui and was slightly stunned: "Sister Xiaorui, you asked me to come over for tea, why don't you see the eldest lady?"
Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Of course the eldest lady is going to see the new Miss Lan. Sir, let's have some tea first. I think the lady will be back soon."
Seeing Xiao Rui's enthusiastic smile, Liu Yijin picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp. "I just had a drink with the Sheriff. I'm really a little thirsty. Please give me another drink."
Xiaorui chuckled, "You are an adult now. I can pour you as many drinks as you want."
Xiaorui watched Liu Yijin drink three cups of tea in a row and smiled: "Sir, please wait here while I go out and get busy."
Liu Yijin smiled lightly and said, "Okay."
After Xiaorui left, Liu Yijin looked at everything in the room boredly. He hadn't been to the eldest lady's room for a while, and some of the things in it had been replaced.
When Liu Yijin was admiring a painting on the wall, he suddenly heard an exclamation from the bedroom, which made Liu Yijin's expression change drastically.
He didn't think twice and just rushed in.
But the scene before him completely shocked him.
On the soft floor, in the haze of a red gauze curtain, a woman with a lithe figure and crystal-clear skin turned around with a smile. Her peach-like eyes flickered slightly, with a hint of wildness and a hint of shyness.
"One pound."
The sweet and warm voice made Liu Yijin couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Big, madam."
Song Lian walked down with a smile and walked towards Liu Yijin step by step. Her black hair poured down like a waterfall and spread over her white shoulders. She actually had a silky feeling as she walked.
"Big, big..."
Song Lian chuckled and glared at Liu Yijin fiercely: "It's not like I've never seen it before. How big is it?"
"I'm talking about the eldest lady, not the big one." Liu Yijin wanted to retreat anxiously, but was stopped by the eldest lady: "Yijin, am I beautiful?"
Liu Yijin suddenly became short of breath. He wanted to leave, but found that he could not move at all. Waves of heat from his body hit his soul, making him tremble uncontrollably.
A familiar feeling came up, and a heat in his body made him unable to control himself.
He stretched out his hand out of nowhere, wanting to touch the touch of tenderness and smoothness, but his reason told him not to do so.
Song Lian chuckled, her charming eyes flashing with ripples of desire, her red lips slightly opening and closing, and she could see that nimble tongue that was extremely tempting.
She gently stretched out her fingers to hook Liu Yijin's belt and walked towards the bed: "Liu Yijin, is the tea good today?"
Liu Yijin felt hot all over his body, and an even hotter feeling swelled from the depths of his soul.
"Madam, you, you..."
"What are you doing? This is the opportunity I give you. If you don't take good care of me tonight, I will hang you in the yard tomorrow and take off your clothes."
Seeing Song Lian's seductive smile, Liu Yijin just kept doing it.
"Anyway, it's all about the purple smoke produced by the sunshine incense burner. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later!"
Seeing Liu Yijin suddenly hugging her up, Song Lian chuckled: "This enemy of yours is mine after all."
The fair skin was shining with a moving luster, and Liu Yijin was breathing heavily like an old cow.
Song Lian's eyes were even more sparkling, as if she wanted to accept all of this.
A full hour passed, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, and Song Lian fell into a sound sleep. Liu Yijin walked out of the small courtyard, rubbing his sore waist. He looked at the moon in the sky, which was so pale. The whole world was in his eyes. His eyes seemed to be in turmoil.
When Erzhuzi and Gouzi on patrol saw Liu Yijin in such a tragic condition, they hurriedly stepped forward to help him and said, "Brother Yijin, are you okay?"
"You can't die!" Liu Yijin said with a strong breath: "You can continue patrolling, I'll go for a walk over there."
Erzhuzi looked honest: "Brother Yijin, are you sure you can still leave?"
"Nonsense, I'm a straight man!"
Looking at Liu Yijin's trembling steps, Erzhuzi showed a look of horror in his eyes: "People in the town say that Brother Yijin is full of blessings. Why do I feel that this is not the case?"
"We can't understand Brother Yijin's happiness, and we still can't understand his pain."
Liu Yijin walked around the courtyard and happened to arrive in front of Lan Yuer's courtyard.
Li Ping'er lived in this yard before. Nie Rong lived here for a while and was taken back home by her family, but all the utensils were still there.
The second wife, Wang Ying, knew that Lan Yu'er was an important woman to Liu Yijin, so she simply took people to the town to buy good things in the afternoon.
What makes Wang Ying strange is that Lan Yuer not only asked for various bottles and jars of things, but also bought a lot of medicinal materials.
And in the afternoon, the servants were asked to dig small pits in the yard, which were filled with charcoal fires, and small pots placed on top were filled with boiling medicinal water.
In the brightly lit courtyard, several excited maids were busy under the guidance of Lan Yuer, and bursts of medicinal fragrance filled the surroundings.
Liu Yijin looked over and saw Lan Yu'er standing there in light blue clothes, stopping for a moment in front of each stove from time to time.
Miaoman's figure was slightly translucent under the light, and it seemed that she could see the beautiful scene inside.
Liu Yijin held the courtyard door and stared blankly. In the firelight, the girl was beautiful and agile, with an indescribable charm.
"I've been watching it for so long, haven't I seen enough?"
Lan Yu'er raised her head and looked at Liu Yijin calmly: "My steps are sloppy, my eyes are dull, and my face is pale. You have exerted so much strength just now, but you can still think wildly?"
Liu Yijin was a little embarrassed to be told that, and he smiled awkwardly: "I just exercised for a while. I didn't expect that I haven't had aerobic exercise for a long time, and my body is really overwhelmed."
"Would you like me to prepare some medicine for you to ensure that you are alive and well?"
"Are there any side effects?"
Lan Yuer looked at Liu Yijin with a half-smile, "What do you think?"
Liu Yijin hurriedly changed the topic: "What are you doing now? In this hot summer, you are doing something so hot, isn't it hot?"
"Refining medicine."
Lan Yuer casually threw some black powder into each small pot, and colorful flames instantly rose, which made Liu Yijin look curious: "Are you making fireworks?"
"poison."
Listening to Lan Yu'er's cold tone and looking at the thirty small pots on the ground, Liu Yijin couldn't help but swallowed his saliva: "Why do you use so much poison?"
"Defend yourself, sell for money."
Dizzy.
Liu Yijin said helplessly: "You live in the house and I don't want your rent, so why do you sell poison to make money? Besides, this is illegal."
"Aren't you the mayor?"
Listening to Lan Yu'er's matter-of-fact tone, Liu Yijin looked helpless: "Even if I were the mayor, I can't allow you to sell poison here. Besides, can't you sell something else?"
Lan Yuer turned around and walked towards the house, and Liu Yijin hurriedly followed her. If this aunt was allowed to sell poison in a small town, she would probably be escorted to the capital soon!
"Miss Lan, you can't sell this poison. You can sell something else. If this kills someone, it will be a death penalty."
"Of course I have my reasons for selling poison. You can buy it if you think it's suitable. Of course, this is the most useful thing for you."
Liu Yijin was a little confused.
"Has the Zhou Mansion been attacked by Maitreya Buddhism? And according to the behavior and style of Maitreya Buddhism, you, Liu Yijin, should be a thorn in their side and a thorn in their side."
"How did you know?"
Lan Yuer pointed to the girl outside: "I will ask."
"That's why you started refining poison in the yard? Are you doing it for my safety?"
Liu Yijin was moved in his heart: "Miss Lan, I misunderstood you."
"It's okay. I'm not just for your safety. There are so many people in the house this week who are all innocent. Of course, if you die without being good at your studies, I probably won't be able to get out of work, so you have to Live well."
Liu Yijin had a wry smile on his face.
Lan Yu'er glanced at Liu Yijin and threw a bottle of pills over: "It's for replenishing your body. I guarantee that it will replenish your empty body."
Liu Yijin blushed and put the bottle away in embarrassment.
"If nothing happens, I'll leave first."
"Wait a minute." Lan Yu'er stood up: "I need a lot of herbs, can you help me?"
"What do you want to do again?"
"Refining elixirs, making poisons, and making antidotes."
Lan Yu'er said matter-of-factly: "When I was in Yaowang Valley, I had many projects that I didn't start researching. Now I can't go back, but I am a medical saint, so you can't let me work in the fields."
Liu Yijin was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "You are right, then write down the list of herbs you need, and I will have someone purchase them."
Lan Yuer casually threw out a list: "A total of ten thousand taels are needed, not much."
Liu Yijin's fingers trembled: "Not much, not much."
Liu Yijin returned to his small courtyard, where Erzhuzi and Gouzi were waiting.
"Brother Yijin, you are back."
Looking at the anxious looks of Erzhuzi and Gouzi, Liu Yijin said: "What's wrong? What's the rush so late?"
"Dead people."
"What?"
"There are dead people in the ground."
This period of time is a busy time for farming, and every household will be working in the fields. Moreover, the Zhou government has issued a new policy. All tenant farmers can keep 30% of this year's harvest, which further mobilizes the enthusiasm of farmers.
"How did he die? A fight or intentional homicide?"
"No, he just died out of nowhere."
Seeing the nervous expressions of Er Zhuzhu and the others, Liu Yijin hurriedly followed them out. Before leaving, he asked Xiao Rui to inform the ladies that he had gone to the fields.
Along the way, Erzhuzi and Gouzi introduced what happened. It turned out that the tenant Lao Mao had been living in the field during this period, but he had not returned home since yesterday. His wife thought the field was busy and didn't care, but Tonight I found that the person was missing.
This suddenly exploded, and other families also discovered that some of their family members were missing. In desperation, everyone found Erzhu and Gouzi.
The gang searched the whole town and finally found several corpses in the river, and each corpse was engraved with a Maitreya Buddha.
Everyone thought of the tragic massacre of the Zhao family and the Han family, which caused panic for a while.
Erzhuzi and Gouzi were also in extremely bad moods and hurriedly told Liu Yijin about the matter.
The three people came to the small river outside the town and saw several corpses lying inside, surrounded by crying guys.
"Sir, you have to make the decision for us."
Several women knelt on the ground, crying miserably.
Liu Yijin stepped forward and saw fear on the faces of several corpses. Everyone had a big hole in the heart, and the heart was missing.
Liu Yijin was furious: "Don't worry, I will definitely find this damn murderer."
Erzhuzi said: "Brother Yijin, these people all have a statue of Maitreya Buddha on their bodies. It seems that it was done by Maitreya Buddha."
Liu Yijin looked solemn: "During this period, you should not stay in the fields at night. Even if you go to work during the day, you should gather together. Don't give them a chance to kill again."
"I'll go see the magistrate early tomorrow morning!"
