It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 35 One Step Ahead

"Mr. Murray should be familiar with the counties in Jiangzhou? Previously, the location of the wet nurse, the nurse, could be determined based on the surrounding environment of the place where shopkeeper Tong's wet nurse was in distress. Can the manager remember the surrounding area of ​​the wooden house where the corpse was dismembered? What's there?" Yuan Mu asked, and the answer to this question was clearly understood by the tone of voice.

"This..." Mu Liuyun was really stunned when he asked him this, and hurriedly recalled it carefully.

When it was Xunxiu, he was just caught by Fatty Kong as a laborer, and when he turned his head, he was taken to the place where the corpses were thrown in the wild mountains. In Yuan Jia's fierce face, and Yuan Mu's intimidating name. Under the double attack of the number, he was able to maintain the most basic level of calmness and see clearly the headless female corpse and the surrounding environment. This was already the result of Mu Liuyun's best efforts.

At that time, my mind was full of how to keep myself from leaking flaws under the eyes of this uninvited guest. Except for asking the yamen in Donggu County that the place where the corpse was thrown was a barren mountain and wild ridges, and there were often wild beasts, there was not much else. overly attentive.

Now that Yuan Mu had asked, Mu Liuyun hurriedly sketched out the route from Taiping County to Donggu County, through the forest where the corpse was abandoned, and for a while there was some murmur in his heart.

Although she said that several counties under the jurisdiction of Jiangzhou usually run around a lot, but they are all about prisons everywhere. If you ask where there are forests, where there are cliffs, where there are water pools, and where there are dry wells, then she will definitely be able to. The answer is straightforward, but she is a bit vague about the boundaries that are irrelevant to murder and evil.

If only Jiang Jin could be called over early in the morning!Unlike himself, Jiang Jin knew all the places where there were living people in Jiangzhou's territory and was quite familiar with it.

It's a pity that today is not Jiang Jin's ten-day holiday. At this time, he has already gone to the yamen to respond.

Mu Liuyun thought about it for a while, and suddenly thought of someone, he hurriedly called Cao Guo, the maid who was standing by from afar: "Cao Guo, you ask Hong Guo to make a pot of tea and bring it up, and then go to Miss Chang's place to help. Let me ask, where is the temple where she went to seek marriage before!"

Cao Guo is an honest girl. When she heard that Mu Liuyun was going to ask Chang Yueshan about something, she was stunned for a while, but she didn't think Hongguo couldn't help but want to stop her. She opened her mouth and quickly walked in response. ran out.

After a while, Hongguo came with a teapot and cups for brewing tea. She has always been quick in her hands and feet, and her brain is smart, so she is most used by Mu Liuyun among the many maids.

Hongguo put the things on the stone table and backed away in a proper manner. Mu Liuyun hurriedly poured tea for Yuan Mu, and also brought a cup for himself, waiting for Caoguo to reply to Chang Yueshan. Come.

Waiting left and right, the tea soup in the cup at hand has changed from boiling hot to warm, and there is no shadow of Cao Guo, Mu Liuyun can't sit still, and he is muttering in his heart, although Cao Guo is a little timid on weekdays, In terms of words and deeds, he is somewhat petty compared to Hongguo, but he is also reliable. Why did he just ask Chang Yueshan for a place, and then disappeared?

I was thinking about whether to call someone to remind me again, when Cao Guo ran back from the outside in a hurry.

"Master! That girl Chang refused to tell me! I asked her exactly the question you asked me to ask, but she turned around and went back to the room after hearing it, and even closed the door. I knocked on her for a long time. Just ignore me and don't open the door for me, I'm afraid you'll be in a hurry, so I'll come back and tell you!" Cao Guo angrily stood down and began to complain to Mu Liuyun.

"This Chang Yueshan is really... What's the point of concealing this kind of thing, but ask, why is there such a reaction..." Mu Liuyun felt a little inexplicable at first hearing this, but then she suddenly understood, He hurriedly stood up and pushed Cao Guo out, "Broken! Cao Guo, go outside and stop a little bit. If Miss Chang comes, you can say—"

Before she could finish her words, a string of crisp Jin Ling sounds and Hongguo's crunchy scolding could be heard outside the courtyard wall.

"Miss Chang, the young master is staying with the distinguished guests at home, what are you doing here!"

Mu Liuyun didn't hear Chang Yueshan's voice, but saw a purple figure shaking at the door, Chang Yueshan had already appeared at the door, Hong Guo was behind her, she wanted to catch up to stop her, but it was too late In the evening, in order not to be rude, he stopped and did not step forward.

Chang Yueshan doesn't know whether she got up early in the morning and did such elaborate dress up, or she just kept Cao Guo out of the door just to be busy with this. She was wearing a Luo gauze narrow-sleeved and short ruff, and her jade-white lotus-shaped arms were looming. The floor-length folded long skirt adorned with gold thread wraps the waist tightly and looks like it is full of hands. The double embroidered belt hangs on the sides, swaying with each step.

Mmm, nice!So lovely!

Mu Liuyun sighed secretly in his heart, his eyesight is really incredible!

The more you can't get it, the more eager you are and the more itchy.

Many people have this problem, and Mu Liuyun is no exception.He knew that he couldn't wear women's clothes, but he couldn't hold back his restless heart. If he wanted beautiful clothes, his heart would be unbearable like a cat's claws.

When she first saw this fabric in the cloth village, she felt that it must be beautiful to cut out of this fabric. It just so happened that Chang Yueshan was kept at home, and all the wrapped clothes were thrown in the barren mountains and mountains. Unable to find it, she was very embarrassed, so Mu Liuyun immediately bought the material and asked someone to tailor her dress to make this dress.

I haven't seen her wearing this outfit on weekdays, and when I saw it today, I almost couldn't remember that I chose it.

Chang Yueshan saw Mu Liuyun's gaze fell on her, a smirk on her cheeks, and her expression became more and more shy.

"Master, I heard that you were looking for me, so I hurried over." She stepped forward, slightly blessed.

"It must be Caoguo who didn't make it clear, I never wanted to bother Miss Chang." Mu Liuyun was also different from her, and cut to the chase, "I remember a few days ago, Miss Chang went out to ask for marriage, I don't know if it was in Where? But the most efficacious of this generation?"

When Chang Yueshan asked her so bluntly, her face turned even brighter: "I'm going out of Taiping County, heading east, and the carriage will take more than half an hour. It's called Jingshui Nunnery, and the incense is flourishing. The people who worshiped in the incense were all the faithful women in the nearby counties, and the most sought after were marriage and children.

Others say that as long as there is enough sincerity, it will be extremely effective, but when I go to pray there, it is sincere. "

As she spoke, she looked straight at Mu Liuyun with watery eyes, her eyes wandering, quite touching.
