Chapter 76 The city is full of pilgrims

"Is someone dead again?" Xiu Yuan's eyes turned, and then Xue Yunque's pale face and blood-red lips appeared in his mind. What shocked him the most was her weird smile.

"Yes, if you die like this, you will alarm the emperor of Bianliang. This is a strange case. Now our Tiantai Town is going to be famous." Fang Linxian sighed, "It's all my fault for being incompetent. I can't even understand the clues and there are no clues at all."

Seeing Fang Linxian frowning, Xiu Yuan wanted to tell him the weirdness of the embroidery shop, and all this was done by the snake demon. I wonder what his reaction would be.

"I won't tell you about the cultivation of the future. The coroner just took the body back to the yamen. I have to go back and report to the master. By the way, your father is also with Lord Lu. If such a big thing happened, he has not had much rest in the past few days."

"Uncle Fang, let me go with you." Xiuyuan felt that something was serious and it was necessary to tell the government what he saw and heard.

Fang Linxian nodded, and then went to the yamen with Xiuyuan.

Maochun, who had just come out of the yamen and was about to go home, saw Fang Linxian and his son coming over, "Xuyuan, why are you here?"

Xiuyuan stepped forward, "Father, I have something to tell Lord Lu."

"Mr. Lu is now worried about the murder case, what's the important thing about you?" Maochun looked at Xiuyuan with a serious face.

"What I want to tell Lord Lu is about the murder case," Xiuyuan looked at his father seriously. Maochun nodded after looking at Xiuyuan for a while, "Then you go." He knew his son and was definitely not a casual joke.

Xiu Yuan then turned around and looked at Fang Linxian, "There is also the old Uncle Fang who has reported to the Lord."

Fang Linxian nodded and walked in. After a while, Xiu Yuan and Buyu, who were outside the door, saw Fang Linxian walking out in dejected manner.

"Uncle Fang," Xiuyuan walked over, "What's wrong with you?"

Fang Linxian sighed, "Sir, I want to suppress the matter and firmly disagree to inform you. I know that this is for the reputation of Tiantai Town, but the situation is very obvious now and we can no longer control it." Fang Linxian is already one and two big ones.

Xiuyuan comforted him, "Uncle Fang, don't worry, I'll go to see the master, has he agreed to summon me?"

Fang Linxian nodded. Maochun and Lord Lu were also friends for many years. Maochun was also an official in his early years, so Lord Lu agreed to summon Xiuyuan for the sake of Xiuyuan's father.

"You go, sir, are waiting for you."

Xiuyuan nodded and looked at him unswervingly, "You go in with me."

Buyu walked in with Xiuyuan.

Lord Lu is still an official with a good reputation among the people, so he has a good relationship with Maochun in private and is not unfamiliar with Xiuyuan.

"Master Lu," Xiuyuan came in and bowed to him first.

"Xuyuan, get up quickly. This is not a place where you, my uncle and nephew in the classroom don't have to be polite. Let's sit down." Lord Lu called Xiuyuan and the others to sit down, and then he sat down. "Just just now, Fang Linxian said that you would tell me about the murder case, what's the matter?"

Xiu Yuan simply said bluntly, "I heard that many young men have died in the town for no reason, and the way of death is quite cruel."

Lord Lu nodded, thinking that he would not be able to hide the truth from the people for long. "Yes, I found a corpse by the river this morning. The way of death was the same as before. It can be inferred that it was done by the same murderer."

Xiu Yuan paused, "Mr. Lu, it's probably impossible not to report this matter to the top. We are indeed strong-"

Before Xiu Yuan finished speaking, Lord Lu waved his hand, "If you advise me to inform you, don't say it. You don't understand Xiu Yuan's affairs in the officialdom. Today your father is here, saying it is exactly the same as you, but it really doesn't work. I can't repay you. At that time, my black shiny will be a small one. If the emperor blames him, I'm afraid that a large number of people will be involved, including Fang Linxian."

Xiuyuan didn't understand the affairs of the officialdom, but when he saw Lord Lu's attitude, he knew that it was useless to comfort him. He nodded, "My dear Lord Xiuyuan understood that I met Boss Xue of Yuntai Embroidery Village that day. She was wearing night clothes on the street at night and walking was very suspicious. When I talked to me, I felt that she wanted to commit crimes against me. Fortunately, the eldest brother of the official arrived and was rescued. She escaped quickly without taking action."

"You said Xue Yunque from Yuntai Embroidery Village?" Lord Lu frowned and raised his voice, "What can she do as a little woman? How could you be the murderer of a five-foot man?"

Cultivation has already thought of it, and no one believes it.

"Sir, I can testify that the boss of Yuntai Embroidery Shop is definitely not an ordinary woman who looks as delicate as a woman who can only be handmade and beautiful as a woman." Buyu couldn't help but interrupt.

"Who are you?" Lord Lu looked at the men's clothes unswervingly.

"He is my sworn brother, sir." Xiuyuan hurriedly added.

"Why are you testifying? Did you see her committing a murder or did she show you a weapon?" Lord Lu blew his beard and felt that what the two of them said was simply a fantasy. "By the way, tell me what the weapon is first? How did the deceased die? Then is Boss Xue a beast? Everyone died of young and strong men. How did she do that look so weak? Do you have any help? Don't tell me what kind of monster Boss Xue is, I can't listen to these."

Lord Lu's endless remarks made Xiu Yuan completely inflict what he wanted to say.

"Sir, I--" Xiuyuan wanted to say something else, Lord Lu had already made an impatient expression.

"Okay, OK, go back quickly. Don't interfere with the affairs of the children's adults. If you have time, spend more time with your father and mother. When you meet Boss Xue at night, I will ask you first if you are sleeping at home and running out for what you do?"

Xiuyuan was completely speechless now. He swallowed his saliva and glanced at Buyu, and blanched Lord Lu in his heart, "What kind of parental official is this? He doesn't say anything about anything else, and he can't listen to anything else."

"Go home quickly, please pay attention to me. At night, no, you have to go out less during the day. Who knows when the murderer committed the crime? What should you do if something happens to you? You are old and have a son. Okay, you go home quickly. I'm tired, and I haven't had a good rest in the past two days." Lord Lu gave the order to expel the guest and stood up and wanted to go back to the inner hall. Xiuyuan and they knew that this move was not working and were embarrassed to not leave. They stood up dejectedly, looked at Lord Lu for a moment, stunned. She poked Xiuyuan secretly with her elbow, and glanced at the robe under Lord Lu.

Xiu Yuan looked over with Buyu's eyes and was stunned for a moment. A brightly colored under Lord Lu's official robe appeared underneath, with gold edges and the style pattern. Although it was just a corner of the iceberg, Xiu Yuan and Buyu recognized where it came from.

It turned out that Lord Lu was also wearing clothes from Yuntai Embroidery House.

Lord Lu, who had entered the side hall, sighed and raised his eyes. The beautiful woman was lying halfway on the chair he used to use, holding her head with her elbow and looking at Lord Lu who was walking in.

"You, you, you are so uneasy. You said you were going out to do something in the middle of the night, so that Xiuyuan could see that the child actually suspected you." Lord Lu sat next to her.

This woman is nothing but Xue Yunque.

"I don't know who Xiuyuan is, so how could I doubt me? I, a woman, can still kill people?"

"I said that, in short, it's really not peaceful recently, it's better to be careful."

Yun Que clung to Master Lu like a snake, and said coquettishly, "You know me. I can't do anything except the girl-red tailoring."

The sound that would make anyone feel slim and the peerless and beautiful face made Lord Lu obsessed with it. He changed into the tired face just now, showed his confused eyes and smile and picked up Xue Yunque and said, walking towards his bed, "I don't know you yet."

Yun Que touched Lord Lu's shoulders and back softly and smiled proudly.

Xiuyuan and Buyu walked out dejectedly.

"Actually, I thought that Lord Lu would not listen to us." Xiu Yuan scratched his head, his steps slightly heavier.

Buyu smiled, "No wonder, fortunately you didn't tell her that Xue Yunque was a monster, otherwise he might have knocked you out and even went to your father to sue you."

Xiu Yuan also laughed, "You are still laughing. When I saw that Lord Lu was also a guest of Yuntai Embroidery Floor, I really didn't know what to say for a moment. What magic does this embroidery Floor have, or did he use magic?"

Unswervingly pat Xiu Yuan’s shoulder, “There will be a solution.”

Xiuyuan raised his head and the sky was gray. The strange fragrance was floating all over the city. What was terrible is that no one could smell it. What was sad is that only he could hear it but didn't know what he could do. What was funny is that even the parents in this town were bribed by the embroidery workshop.

The two walked home, and the pedestrians along the way were as usual, as if the recent murder did not make the people uneasy.

On the contrary, the fragrance on the street is getting stronger and stronger, because more and more people are wearing embroidery clothes, no matter who is the woman, no matter who is old or young.

Xiuyuan looked at the people in the past, and he was unswerving, "Buyu, have you seen it? Everyone's expressions." Xiuyuan whispered in Buyu's ear, looking over, everyone's faces had fake smiles, and their cheeks had an overly exaggerated red.

"It's strange," Buyu looked at Xiuyuan, "Are there so many people in the town wearing the clothes of the embroidery workshop two days ago?"

Xiu Yuan shook his head, "More and more, like a plague."

When I saw the patterns on my clothes, I thought of the half-snake skin and unfinished patterns I saw in the embroidery workshop that day, as well as the bloody and fuzzy things swimming in the blood tank, and the nausea.

"Xiyuan, look," suddenly Buyu seemed to have discovered something, "most of the patterns are white, but some have begun to turn red now."
