It started to rain in the middle of the night.
The spring rain in Jiangling was soft and silent, but continuous and dense. Ye Chutang went to close the window, and a few drops of rain splashed on his sleeves.
She raised her eyes unintentionally and saw in her peripheral vision that the candle in the opposite room was still burning quietly, outlining a tall and clear silhouette.
"Young men from rich families really spend money..."
There are more candles than others, making the room brighter.
Ye Chutang murmured and closed the window.
So she didn't see it. After a while, the candle opposite was also extinguished.
Lian Zhou asked strangely: "Master, are you going to rest so early today?"
Shen Yanchuan chuckled.
"When you live under someone else's roof, you naturally have to abide by their rules."
…
It rained all night.
The next day, while Ye Chutang was still sleeping, he heard Ye Yunfeng's voice coming from outside: "Sister! Sister!"
Ye Chutang turned over and said lazily:
"Don't make any noise, Xiaowu is still asleep."
Xiao Wu, who had been sitting up and playing by himself for a while, blinked his eyes, then lay down obediently with his butt sticking out, next to Ye Chutang.
Ye Yunfeng hesitated for a second, then continued: "It's a big deal! Sister, come out quickly!"
Lian Zhou looked a little strange at the scene in the yard.
"What are you doing so early in the morning?"
Seeing the excitement and excitement on that kid's face, could there be something good going on?
Shen Yanchuan was changing his dressing, and the two wounds on his chest and lower abdomen had begun to heal.
He raised his sword eyebrows slightly, and a bit of surprise flashed in his eyes.
This injury lasted for half a month. Because it was poisonous, it festered repeatedly and never healed. Even the doctors in Beijing had a headache.
Unexpectedly, I had only been in this small medical clinic for two days, and I had already seen significant improvement.
This Doctor Ye... really has some hidden abilities.
Hearing Lian Zhou's words, he didn't even raise his head and said casually: "It seems that the murderer has been found."
Lian Zhou was stunned: "So fast!?"
Yesterday, the Cao family came to make trouble. Although he didn't go out to see it, he heard it clearly with his deep internal skills.
It is very difficult to find out whether someone died from an allergy to something they ate, especially if someone did it deliberately. It is even harder to find evidence and the truth.
How could it be possible to find the real murderer overnight?
However, the next moment, Ye Yunfeng's excited voice came over.
"Sister! They said the person who stole river shrimps for Cao Chengwu has been found!"
Lian Zhou was startled and turned around to see that his master's expression was still calm and calm, without the slightest hint of surprise. He had obviously expected it.
this--
Squeak——
The door was pushed open and the girl who had been woken up came out.
Shen Yanchuan raised his eyes slightly and glanced over there, his eyes slightly focused.
She originally had a very gentle and beautiful appearance, but now there was a hint of laziness and fatigue between her distant eyebrows. Her black hair was simply pulled up with a wooden hairpin. In the pattering spring rain, she looked like a flower. Begonia who never woke up.
Hazy and inexplicably inviting.
"I found it when I found it. Why are you so excited?" She raised her hand to cover her lips and yawned lightly, "A Feng, you are so noisy."
Shen Yanchuan calmly averted his gaze, and the voice that floated to his ears still had a laziness in it, like a feather gently brushing against it, a little itchy.
Ye Yunfeng scratched his head in embarrassment: "Sister, I know I shouldn't disturb you in your sleep, but I'm not too happy!"
He pulled Ye Jingyan next to him and said, "Third brother! Tell me!"
Ye Jingyan originally wanted to wait until Ye Chutang woke up before coming back, but the fourth child was impatient and didn't hold him back for a while.
Catching Ye Chutang's gaze, he straightened his thoughts and said: "I was going to go shopping in the morning. When I walked to the street, I heard someone saying that the person who killed Cao Chengwu was caught. It was either someone else or Cao Chengwu. That Liu Si at home. He is Cao Chengwu’s boy. Last night when Cao Chengwu brought a supper, he secretly put river shrimp meat in it. Later, he made a special excuse to keep the others away. This led to Cao Chengwu being around him when he became ill. There’s no one around, so I’m just suffocating myself to death.”
Ye Chutang raised her eyebrows slightly: "It's only been one night, and you can find out so clearly?"
Ye Yunfeng couldn't hold it back, and was beaming: "Sister, you must have never imagined! The reason why the people in the yamen investigated so quickly is because someone anonymously sent a report letter last night!"
Ye Chutang's lips curved: "Oh?"
Ye Yunfeng punched his palm and said excitedly: "I heard that they went to Liu Si's house overnight, and sure enough they found the clothes he wore when he went to the lake the first day, and some river shrimp shells at his house! He went there secretly the first day I was catching shrimps in the lake and accidentally made a big gash on my leg, but I didn't dare to tell anyone! But I didn't expect that I was found out just like that!"
Ye Chutang glanced at the misty sky.
"Just one letter is not enough evidence."
Speaking of this, Ye Yunfeng became even more excited: "Who says it's not the case! So the people from the Yamen went to the lake early in the morning, and sure enough they found Liu Si's strip of clothes that had been scraped off! The evidence was conclusive, Liu Si's legs went weak and he knelt down to admit it on the spot. !”
Ye Chutang nodded, "It's raining. It's really hard to go to the lake to find evidence. I'll have to thank the officials properly when I get back."
She originally thought she would have to wait for a long time.
But it's good to be efficient. It's raining now, and many traces will be washed away. If you delay for too long, you may not be able to find things so smoothly.
Ye Yunfeng asked in surprise: "Sister, aren't you surprised?"
He didn't sleep well last night. Although his suspicion was cleared, it was a human life after all. How could a twelve-year-old boy pretend that nothing had happened?
Ye Chutang flicked his forehead.
"As for the man, we didn't kill him in the first place. He was just unlucky and got implicated. Now the truth is revealed, isn't it just right?"
What to do with so many thoughts.
Ye Yunfeng rubbed his forehead, feeling that what his sister said was right, but something seemed wrong.
In his opinion, this is really a big trouble, but in the eyes of sister, these seem to be nothing, not even worth delaying her from sleeping in.
And he was so calm and calm, taking it for granted that things would be solved... He had never seen it in anyone else.
It seems like everything is as it should be.
It makes people feel at ease.
Ye Jingyan and Ye Chutang looked at each other and asked, "Sister, what should we do next?"
Ye Chutang said: "Go to the Yamen."
Ye Yunfeng opened his eyes wide: "You still want to go? But doesn't this matter have nothing to do with us?"
Ye Chutang asked: "Liu Si is Cao Chengwu's servant, why did he want to kill him?"
Ye Yunfeng was a little hesitant: "It seems, it seems that because Cao Chengwu always beats or scolds them, Liu Si has long been resentful in his heart, so he has murderous intentions!"
"Kill a man to pay for his life." Ye Chutang held up an oil-paper umbrella, and the rain splashed down, creating a thin layer of white mist on the ground. "The sky is probably falling for Liu Si's family right now, right?"
she whispered.
"Now, the orphans and widowers are really pitiful."
