The two corpses inspected by the government officials were the masked men who had previously chased Wei Yu.
The veils of the two of them had been torn off, and underneath each was an ordinary face with no special features.
The Yamen pointed and said: "These two people look like they are from bad origins, but somehow they died here strangely. I'm afraid they provoked someone more powerful than them."
An Cheng frowned and asked, "How did they die?"
The two officials said: "What the second master is asking is that we have seen it just now. The strange thing is that there seems to be no external injuries on these two people. Could it be that they were poisoned or something?"
"Look at their chests." Wei Yu said from the car window.
An officer obeyed the order and leaned over to take a closer look. This time he found a very fine trace. It turned out that the two men were wearing black clothes, so it was even harder to detect.
The Yamen stared at the damaged area. It looked like it had been scratched a little bit with a very thin blade. It didn't look like a fatal injury.
A guard couldn't help but raised his hand and pressed it: "What is this?"
Before Wei Yu had time to stop him, the officer had already taken action, and after he reached out and pressed his hand, a large amount of blood suddenly poured out from the tiny and invisible scar. At the end of the eye-popping moment, blood flowed out like a sea. , spread rapidly, almost submerging the entire corpse.
The two policemen retreated in shock, not knowing what to do.
Anxian Cheng was frightened all night, and now he was no longer as courageous as before. He turned around and asked Wei Yu: "Inspector Wei, these two are obviously the villains who wanted to do harm to you before... Why did they die here?"
Wei Yu frowned and looked around, but saw Su Jiuyao opposite. The young man was also staring at the two corpses on the ground, thoughtfully.
"What do you think, Little Master Jiu?" Wei Yu asked out of nowhere.
Su Jiuyao lowered his eyes and said: "The two of them suffered sword wounds. The person who struck must be a master of swordsmanship. Most of the weapons were specially made. His strikes were as fast as lightning. He had already succeeded before the other party noticed. "
An Cheng blinked: "Then why can't you see the injury from the outside?"
Su Jiuyao said: "This is the subtlety of a master. His technique is fast, and the weapon is extremely thin and narrow. It penetrates instantly, and the body has not yet reacted. It looks intact from the outside, but in fact, it can be seen from the position of the sword. It can be concluded that the main veins in the heart have long been cut off, and it is difficult for gods to save them. The bodies of these two people are already filled with seas of blood. If you don't touch them, it will be fine. If they touch the wound, the blood in the body will naturally rush out. .”
There was no gang work in the area, so An Cheng signaled a cadre to be gentle and unbuttoned the other deceased's clothes to take a closer look. Sure enough, he found a narrow and thin mark on the chest, not even a trace of blood. If he didn't pay attention, he thought it was someone who had been raped. Just a scratch from a branch or something.
Little did he know, this was the real fatal sword mark.
Wei Yu knew it well, and after hearing Su Jiuyao's answer without missing a beat, he couldn't help but smile and ask, "How do you know so much?"
Su Jiuyao said: "For people who practice martial arts, this is not a rare thing." He answered this sentence and met Wei Yu's eyes and said: "You seem to have expected it."
Wei Yu's heart was slightly shaken, but she still had a smile on her face: "I just have better eyesight than others." She didn't want to continue the question, so she deliberately asked: "How is your swordsmanship compared to this one?"
"How do you know I know how to use a sword?" Su Jiuyao asked.
Wei Yu choked, laughed twice and said, "I guessed it, just ask, it doesn't matter whether you know it or not, it doesn't hurt."
Su Jiuyao stared at the red sword mark: "These people wanted to kill you, but they were killed by others. Don't you think there is something wrong?"
Wei Yu didn't seem to hear this. She had already lowered the car curtain. She was listening to An Cheng outside instructing the officials on how to go to Yelang Pass to report the news and how to collect the corpse. She closed her eyes and leaned against the car wall to rest. .
The car curtains were slightly blown by the wind. The sunshine was particularly good in the autumn morning, and the flickering light and shadow fell on her face, like a dream.
Su Jiuyao glanced at it, then looked away, looking down at his scarred hands.
In the army, people mostly use simple knives, but Su Jiuyao is no stranger to the art of swordsmanship.
In his opinion, the sword marks on the two corpses must have been left by an extremely skilled master, who must have an accurate hit and a technique as fast as lightning. Su Jiuyao thought to himself that in order to achieve that near-perfect state, only I'm afraid he still has to train hard for ten years. Sure enough, there is heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside the world.
When Wei Yu opened her eyes, Su Jiuyao's shadow was no longer in the carriage. She was stunned. An Cheng said outside the carriage window: "The identity of these two masked men is a mystery. There are very few clues. We need to find out why they intend to attack Wei Yu." If the inspection is unfavorable, I’m afraid it will be difficult.”
Wei Yu said: "These people are all lawless charlatans. I have offended many people and I have a lot of headaches. I don't need to trouble the second master to pursue them any further. I just want to store their bodies in Yizhuang until someone comes to claim them." Bar."
An Cheng heard that this was her plan: "But..."
The second master is a bit pedantic in his mind, and he only feels that this approach is against common sense and cannot be justified. What's more, these two people assassinated the imperial officials. The matter is serious, how can they not be investigated.
Little did they know that Wei Yu did this just to calm the trouble and prevent unnecessary people from getting involved. After all, if the water got mixed up, An Cheng would not be able to handle it.
Fortunately, although Anxian Cheng was not good at turning, he admired Wei Yu very much in his heart. Therefore, after the initial surprise, he said: "Okay, okay, it works. I just thought that these people were so bold that they even patrolled the city." He dared to collide with me. I don’t know why. If it hadn’t been for the patrol inspection earlier, I would have told him where he was.”
Wei Yu said thoughtfully: "I think the second master is naturally a blessed person, and his life should not be cut off."
"Then I'm just asking the guards for inspection."
"I don't dare to take it seriously. If Xiaojiu hadn't arrived in time, the second master and I would have gone to Niutoushan as guests. I don't know what happened."
An Cheng was still frightened and said dumbly: "That's true, but... Xiaojiuye, how did you get into the carriage and when did you arrive? Why didn't I notice it?"
Wei Yu looked at the empty opposite side and laughed dumbly: "I don't know when he left. Didn't the second master see him?"
An Cheng was surprised: "Huh?"
It happened that at this time, I only heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance, and a young voice called: "Brother Ninth!"
Wei Yu poked his head out of the car window, and Anxian Cheng also looked over and saw a horse galloping on the road. It was Wu Wanli, holding little Feilian in his arms, and Feilian was holding the old civet cat in his arms.
Wei Yu looked in the direction of Fei Lian's wave, and saw beyond a few ancient willows, there was a large pond, half of which was filled with lotus flowers. The sun was shining brightly, the autumn wind was blowing, the pond water lines were swaying, and the remaining lotuses were swaying in the wind. , the scenery is pleasant.
Just because it's autumn, the lotus flowers have long since disappeared, and most of the lotus leaves have withered, except for some lotus pods standing here and there.
But what Wei Yu cared about was not the color of the pond in autumn, but the person in front of the lotus leaves beside the pond.
Su Jiuyao stood on the clear water in black clothes, with a large dark green lotus leaf behind him, and reeds swaying not far behind him. This scene made her feel familiar for no reason, and it seemed like Zhan Ziqian's. Landscape paintings are clearer and more vivid than pictures.
Su Jiuyao turned around, and Wei Yu discovered that he was carrying two large lotus leaves on his shoulders, dancing in the wind.
Wei Yu's eyes widened and he heard Anxian Cheng say: "Why does he have the heart to get lotus leaves?"
When Su Jiuyao walked back to the car, Wu Wanli and Fei Lian also arrived. Wu Wanli hurriedly saluted An Cheng and went to check the bodies on the ground. Fei Lian threw himself in front of Su Jiuyao: "Brother Jiu, you are going to scare people to death. What's the big deal if you rush out before your injury is healed?"
Su Jiuyao glanced at Wei Yu: "No."
The civet cat meowed twice, bowed and jumped directly onto the carriage. It entered the carriage as if it was a familiar road, Gulu fell down and lay on Wei Yu's lap.
Su Jiuyao handed the two lotus leaves to Fei Lian, and Fei Lian called out: "There is also a lotus pod, which is a rarity at this time. Is it for me?"
Wei Yu was petting the cat with great interest and did not listen carefully outside. After a while, Fei Lian climbed onto the carriage, holding two lotus leaves and a lotus pod in his hands. He pursed his lips and asked Wei Yu: "Do you want to eat?"
Only then did Wei Yu realize that he was asking himself if he wanted to eat lotus seeds.
The lotus seeds at this season are a little hard, but they have a refreshing fragrance, which is probably due to the coldness of the autumn wind and autumn dew. The bitterness of the lotus heart contains a hint of coldness.
Wei Yu ate two and stuck out his tongue: "It's too bitter, I won't eat it."
Fei Lian said: "You, if you remove the lotus heart, won't you suffer a lot?"
He deliberately wanted to see Wei Yu suffer a little, and when he saw her frowning, he smiled proudly, peeled off a few fat white lotus seeds with his little hands and gave them to Wei Yu, and said, "So you are Brother Jiu's savior. It’s okay to give you this. By the way, when you return to the city, you can go to Chunyang Temple. I promised Brother Jiu to prepare delicious food for you. Although he never cooks food for others, don’t worry, I I will beg him..."
Wei Yu was stunned. She originally planned to leave Changhuai County as soon as possible, but there was an empty place in her heart that made her feel uneasy.
"I..." After hesitating again and again, thinking of the two corpses outside, I felt worried: "I still..."
Just as he was about to say something, Su Jiuyao suddenly said: "Let's go."
When the carriage sank, he jumped up.
Wei Yu had no choice but to stop temporarily and picked up the lotus leaf Fei Lian had placed beside him to look at it.
Su Jiuyao flicked the lotus leaf in his hand and said: "Although it is best to use summer lotus leaves, the season is not right, so this is just fine."
Wei Yu looked at his injured finger and couldn't turn his head for a moment: "Huh?"
Su Jiuyao said: "Didn't you say you want to eat lotus leaf tofu? You saved my life, I will make it for you."
Fei Lian bulged his eyes: "Brother Jiu, it's not that you never give it to others..."
"Meow." The old civet cat stretched its waist, stretched its claws forward, and almost scratched the lotus leaf. Fei Lian hurriedly cleaned it up.
Let's not mention this. When it came to food, Wei Yu's stomach suddenly growled a little. After all, he had rushed early and had not eaten. Remembering the sweetness of the lotus leaf tofu, he became even hungrier.
After weighing the left and right, it would be the same if he just had a meal and then left, Wei Yu thought in compromise.
