Chapter 65
Yinniang is wearing a lotus-colored skirt, a jade-colored silk embroidered with plum blossoms, a silver hairpin, a jade bracelet on her wrist, plum blossom makeup on her forehead, and the ten-finger nails are dyed with the juice of impatiens. It can be seen that she must have been a delicate little lady during her lifetime.

However, her face is no longer what it was before she was alive, her skin is dry and blue, and even her hair is withered and dull. At first glance, she thought it was an old woman who died.

Pei Ruji frowned and asked: "The Yu Capital Supervisor can see how she died, but is it related to evil spirits?"

Yu Taiqing took the sheepskin gloves handed over by Di Chen and put them on, pressed the flesh of the corpse, inspected it carefully, and said, "I was neither injured nor suffocated, and there doesn't seem to be any evil spirits invading. I am indeed dead. Weird."

Pei Ru looked at the teacup that fell in front of Yinniang and said, "After drinking tea, I suddenly fell to the ground, maybe the tea is poisonous."

Mrs. Yu shook her head: "According to the guests in the chess room, Yin Niang would rest for a while after every game of chess. This time, when the time came, she hadn't come out yet. Someone went in to check and found her dead. Xiang Gongfu can make the skin and flesh look like this. As far as I know, there is no poison in the world that can do it."

Pei Ruji raised his eyebrows: "I heard that Yudujian knows everything, but I didn't expect him to be so proficient in poison."

Yu Taiqing smiled slightly, but did not answer.

He looked around, bent down suddenly, picked up a piece of mud with grass leaves on the ground, and frowned to examine it.

Pei Ruji asked again: "So, today's case belongs to Dali Temple or your Tianshu Division?"

"I will send someone to report to Dali Temple later. This case is a bit strange, and it will be temporarily assigned to the Tianshu Division. I also want to remind General Pei that sometimes, the absence of evil spirits does not mean that there are no evil spirits."

Pei Ruji laughed and said, "I don't know evil spirits."

Mrs. Yu looked around the room with her hands behind her back. This chess room is not too small, it can accommodate more than a dozen people. When the chess official Yin Niang played games with others, many people watched from one side.During the period, people came and went, even though a few people were detained at this time, it is inevitable that some people slipped through the net.

He glanced at Yin Niang again, and suddenly his eyes were fixed on her earlobe: "Tell me, since a little lady wears jade bracelets and silver hairpins, why don't she have any ornaments on her ears?"

Pei Ruji was taken aback for a moment, thought for a while and said, "There should be reasoning, but I'm not a little lady, and I don't really understand their thoughts, otherwise I'll find someone to ask."

There was a murder case in Fengyang Tower, and the diners could no longer entertain in Fengyang Tower, and they were all driven out by the guards and the imperial army.

Huajiao and Xuexiu came out of the building with the flow of people, and some diners with good deeds refused to leave immediately, and they all gathered in front of Fengyang Tower to discuss.

Hua Jiao learned from the few words of these people that the dead chess official was called Yin Niang.

"Yinniang is only in her 20s, just at the age of youth, but her face suddenly shrank after she died, and she aged dozens of years in an instant, dry and green. It's really scary."

"Not only the face, but also the hands...they shrink into chicken feet in a blink of an eye. It's really scary to look at."

"How could this be? Could it be that someone killed him?"

"Of course, she wasn't murdered. Could it be that Yin Niang couldn't think of a way to kill herself? Just now she was talking and laughing, saying that she must win us today."

Hua Jiao frowned, feeling a little strange about this matter.

She and Xue Xiu got into the carriage, but they were not in a hurry to leave, but sat in the carriage and waited for Pei Ruji.Zheng Xin stayed beside the carriage, while Zheng Heng waited in front of Fengyang Building.

The sky is approaching dusk, and the setting sun in the western sky melts gold.Several birds landed side by side on the roof of Fengyang Tower, and the setting sun coated their blue wings with a layer of gold.

The guests who gathered at the door gradually left, and the store hung a "Closed Business" sign in front of the door, and the front of Fengyang Tower suddenly became cold.

After waiting for a while, I saw the servants in the store hanging poles and hanging wind lanterns on both sides of the gate, and the dim light instantly scattered all over the floor.

Several guards came out from the gate, and then they saw Di Chen walking out protecting Yu Taiqing and Pei Rujiu.

Zheng Heng walked over quickly when he saw it, but was stopped by a guard before he got close.

Zheng Heng hurriedly saluted and said: "General Pei, our little lady has something to ask for advice. I have been waiting for a long time. I hope the general will see you."

Pei Ruji glanced at the carriage where Huajiao was sitting, feeling a little surprised.

Yu Taiqing felt that Zheng Heng looked familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, he recognized him.

"You are..." Yu Taiqing remembered that Zheng Heng was peeking at the erotic pictures that day, and said with a smile on the corner of his lips, "So, you are the guard of Zheng Zhongshuling's mansion."

As soon as Zheng Heng saw Yu Taiqing, he remembered what Uncle Chen said about the toad wearing a red robe. He suppressed a smile and bowed to salute: "I have seen Yu Dujian, and this is Zheng Heng, the guard of the Zheng residence."

Yu Taiqing remembered what he had just heard in Yage, glanced at Pei Ruji, and asked, "I heard that General Pei is engaged to the young lady of Zheng's mansion?"

Pei Ruji originally wanted to divorce Hua Jiao, but he didn't want to publicize the matter, so he said vaguely: "That's it. If that's the case, I'm excused."

Huajiao raised the curtains on the carriage, looked out, and saw Yu Taiqing standing in front of the gate of Fengyang Tower, the light of the lantern enveloped him, reflecting his exquisite eyebrows and eyes.

She thought of what she had just seen, and felt a little depressed for some reason.She was worried that he would make trouble after seeing Cui Lanshu's appearance, but she didn't expect that he didn't mind, but she was more worried.From this point of view, maybe what he said that day that he would send her to prison was just talk.Judging by the appearance of him and Cui Lanshu, maybe he and the Cui family can still get married.

Just as she was thinking like this, she suddenly saw Mrs. Yu looking towards her. Knowing that her face was covered with a veil at this time, she was still startled and hurriedly put down the curtain.

After a while, only the sound of wheels was heard, and it seemed that the entire group had left.

Pei Ru sent him to the front of the carriage, and asked through the curtain, "Madam Jiang, what else can I say?"

The corner of the painting raised the curtain of the car window, and asked directly: "General Pei asked me to meet today, but you want to withdraw?"

Pei Ruji was taken aback, and squinted at her through the window: "It turns out that Mrs. Jiang knows my reason for coming."

Huajiao smiled: "General Pei probably doesn't go to the troupe to watch plays very often, and the acting doesn't look like it. Also, who told you that a flirt should wear fancy dress?"

Pei Ruji suddenly felt a little ashamed.

The corner of the eye glanced over Pei Ruji's colorful gown, and said: "General Pei is not like a person who is violent after drinking, you are just dissatisfied with this marriage, why bother to go to such lengths to get along with him?" Let me just say it, I am not not married to you."

Pei Ruji was overjoyed: "So, Mrs. Jiang has agreed to retire."

Hua Jiao nodded: "Please also ask General Pei to make an appointment with Uncle Pei on my behalf. The marriage was arranged by my father and Uncle Pei. My parents are no longer alive, so I have to come forward and inform Uncle personally."

Pei Ruji didn't expect that after tossing around for a long time, his wish finally came true, and he was happy in his heart: "Since that's the case, I'm really petty today. In the future, if Mrs. Jiang has something to do, Pei will definitely help her."
