Chapter 81 A Head

The moon is above the parasol trees, the wind is cold and the dew is heavy. In the shadow of the swaying trees under the eaves of the long street, the young man in scarlet robes and silver swords has a smile on his lips, and his eyes are more intoxicating than the clear night.

Feng Shen, a handsome son of a noble family, is always eye-catching no matter where he is. However, in the eyes of everyone in the medical hall at this moment, he is like the Lord of the Underworld and the King of Hell in the palace, and his smile is also slightly cold.

Du Changqing looked very unhappy.

Leaving aside these trumped-up charges, why is Prince Zhaoning present tonight? It should be noted that these matters are not under the control of the front manager, so why is he here to join in the fun?

Du Changqing calmed down and said with a smile: "My lords, there must be some misunderstanding. I have been running a medical clinic for many years and have always been conscientious and honest about my duties. It is absolutely impossible to kill people and bury corpses. It is probably a mistake."

Pei Yunying was unmoved: "The military patrol house received a report. Someone reported a murder in your medical clinic. The cadaver was hidden in the charnel house. I came here to check."

"Who is talking nonsense?" Du Changqing became angry when he heard this, "Who? What **** complained?"

Pei Yunying ignored him, but a man gradually walked out from the group of soldiers.

The man was wearing an indigo gown, and his fair and kind face was full of worry. He walked closer and called out "Shopkeeper Du."

"Bai Shouyi?" Du Changqing was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly started to curse, "Did you file the complaint? You're such an innocent bitch, and your father has eaten away your conscience! You actually framed our hospital for no reason! Shameless!"

“Shopkeeper Du, what I said is the truth.”

"Fart! Which of your eyes saw someone killing someone in the hospital?"

 “I didn’t see it, but others did.”

Du Changqing sneered: "Then tell me who it is?"

Bai Shouyi smiled slowly and squinted behind Du Changqing. Du Changqing frowned and turned around to follow his gaze. He saw Hua Xiang standing in the back berth supporting Xia Rongrong, who had followed him out at some point.

 “Cousin?”

With tears in her eyes, Xia Rongrong glanced at Lu Huan timidly and said in a low voice: "Cousin, it's me. I saw with my own eyes that Doctor Lu got up at night to kill people and bury bodies in the yard...the bodies were hidden under the plum tree under the window. …”

"What?"

Du Changqing was shocked and took two steps back, feeling that his mind was in a mess.

 Xia Rongrong saw Lu Zhuo kill someone with her own eyes?

He subconsciously raised his head and looked at the woman standing at the door holding a candle in surprise. The moonlight slanted across her side, revealing a very faint silhouette on the ground. The wind blew her face, her face was bright and clear, as cold as ever.

Lu Zong looked at him and said calmly: "Shopkeeper Du, I didn't kill anyone."

Du Changqing opened his mouth, but no words came out.

On the other hand, Pei Yunying, who was on the other side, smiled when he saw this: "Whether there is anyone killed, we will know after a search."

 He raised his hand: "Search."

The soldiers patrolling the house behind him swarmed up and rushed into the hospital.

The sound of turning the box and ping -ping ping ping pingle sounded instantly.

Acheng hurriedly went to help the medicine cabinet that had been overturned by the soldiers. He stamped his feet anxiously: "There are all medicinal materials here. If they are damaged, they can't be used!" The soldiers didn't hear what he was talking about, a little boy, and they only ignored him. Pushed aside, he lifted the felt curtain and went inside.

Yin Zheng helped Acheng up. Du Changqing was so anxious and angry that he couldn't care about Lu Zhu for a moment. He pointed at Bai Shouyi and scolded Xia Rongrong: "Look at what you did. You conspired with this **** to plot against our hospital? Isn't that right? crazy?"

Xia Rongrong was already scared, but after hearing what Du Changqing said, she felt even more aggrieved and couldn't help but sob softly. When Bai Shouyi saw this, Wen Sheng came over to smooth things over: "What Shopkeeper Xiao Du said is wrong. There was a murderer in the hospital who killed someone and buried the body. He should have reported it to the patrol shop. Shopkeeper Du scolded Miss Xia and protected the murderer. Could he be involved?" "

These words were so heartbreaking that Du Changqing's expression suddenly changed.

 Shen Fengying also looked at him.

Lu Chen watched Bai Shouyi's show with cold eyes, turned around and took two steps. A soldier beside him thought she was trying to escape, so he drew his sword and shouted at her fiercely: "Where are you going!"

 A "bang" sound.

The scabbard of the silver sword moved slightly, blocking the opponent's threatening blade.

Pei Yunying glanced coldly at Pu Bing, who was drawing his sword. Pu Bing hurriedly bowed: "Sir."

He said: "Go down, I will keep an eye on her."

 “Yes, my lord.”

 Lu Zhuo raised his eyes.

The night is blurry, and the clusters of silver cloud patterns on his deep crimson embroidered clothes are bright and dazzling. Standing here, he looks like a jade tree in the wind, which is always moving.

 It’s a pity that he is also the eagle dog of the imperial court.

Lu Zhen looked away: "The wind has picked up. I want to go inside and wait. I wonder if you can allow me?"

Pei Yunying glanced at her thin clothes, and the corners of his lips were slightly curved.

 “It’s very cold, let’s go in.”

Lu Zhuo stood up and walked into the courtyard. Pei Yunying put away the knife and followed him in.

The soldiers gathered outside looked at each other in confusion and gave each other a strange look. Prince Zhaoning had a really strange attitude towards this female doctor, and he was too indulgent. How could any searcher be so polite to the person being searched? Even though the palace commander always liked girls, he was not so patient with other women.

Only Lu Zhen knew how hypocritical the kindness of the person next to him was.

The police patrol at the street shop is not under the control of the front manager at all, and his coming late at night was definitely not a whim, but because he had already suspected her, so he took advantage of the situation.

 Yes, Pei Yunying had suspected her for a long time.

Ever since she came to Fan's Mansion, ever since she met her by chance in Wan'en Temple's Wuhuai Garden, or even earlier, in the rouge shop of Baoxiang Tower, the three sharp needles of the Delphinium Velvet Flower had already attracted this person's attention. She was suspicious.

 He stayed put, not because he was nosy, but perhaps because there was no evidence yet.

 Once there is evidence, he will throw her into prison without mercy and sentence her to death.

 As she was thinking this, she heard the people around her say: "That sounds like a coincidence."

"What?"

"The first time I saw you in Baoxiang Tower, Dr. Lu was kidnapped by Lu Dashan. I met you again in Wuhuai Garden. The eldest man of the Ke family drowned and died in the release hall. Later, you went to the Fan Mansion to treat Mrs. Fan. Mr. Fan was imprisoned for his crimes. Prison. And then today, the military patrol house received a report saying that you killed someone and buried the body."

He smiled, his voice as clear as wine, and his tone as if there was a hint of joking, "I always feel like every time I meet Dr. Lu, there is a **** disaster around me, right?"

An autumn breeze passed by, and the steep plum branches in the courtyard were blown by the wind.

Lu Yan lowered his eyes and heard his own calm voice.

"I am a doctor. Isn't it common for doctors to deal with blood? Are you implying that my horoscope is unlucky?"

Without waiting for Pei Yunying to answer, she raised her head again, looked into the other person's eyes and said, "What's more, what happened to Mr. Fan was because he colluded with officials to cheat on examinations. Power cannot last long, and it is easy to be poor if you are in a high position. He brought it all on himself. What does it have to do with me?" Dry?"

Unexpectedly, she would retort, and Pei Yunying raised his eyebrows.

 After a moment, he sighed: "It makes sense."

At this time, the two of them had walked into the courtyard. Under the plum tree, the soldiers were digging hard, and the dormitories were in a mess. Shen Fengying ordered his men to search inside, causing a huge commotion.

"Doctor Lu is familiar with "Liang Dynasty Laws". I wonder if you have read this article?"

He looked at Pu Bing digging under the tree and said casually: "If there is a murder case in the city, once the evidence is solid, Pu Bing can hang the murderer on the spot with a warrant."

"Yeah?"

Lu Zhen turned around and faced him: "Then Master Pei, let's do it."

The woman's tone was calm and her expression did not change. The dim moonlight fell on her face, like a sparse willow or a graceful flower, calm and calm, without any fear.

 She is not afraid at all.

Pei Yunying paused, stretched out his hand and rubbed the center of his brow, as if he was distressed, "Isn't it that the evidence hasn't been found yet?"

He glanced at Lu Yu with a smile, and said leisurely: "We are not the Imperial City Department. There is no evidence, and we cannot arrest people casually."

Lu Huo nodded, his tone a little sarcastic, "Master Pei, you'd better hurry up, otherwise it will be too late and the evidence will be gone."

Hearing this, his eyes moved slightly, and he fixedly looked at Lu Yan. His deep black eyes could not tell the difference between happiness and anger.

 Lu Zong looked at him coldly. This person...had a distinguished family background, enjoyed a high rank, was handsome and charming, and seemed to be able to win the favor of others easily.

 What's more, he is still so young.

However, from the first time they met, Lu Zhen seemed to be able to see the indifference and ridicule hidden in his dark and bright eyes.

He was suspicious of her, but he didn't take action. Like a shadow that couldn't be shaken off, he followed behind her calmly, waiting for her to show her weakness at some inadvertent moment.

  Disgusting.

It was a bright and windy night, and the curtains in the small courtyard half-hidden the lights. The mist pushed away the moonlight, and the clear light soaked the sleeves coldly. One of the two people in the courtyard lowered his eyes, and the other raised his eyes. A pair of shadows lingered on the ground. Where their sights intersected, But there is nothing charming about it.

　　It seems to have the sound of gold leather.

At this moment, Pubeng, who was searching in the back room, suddenly shouted: "Sir!"

Pei Yunying: "What's the matter?"

Shen Fengying poked his head out of the door and hesitated for a moment, "There may be something discovered."

Pei Yunying turned his head sideways, Lu Zhuo had already lowered his head, and his expression was hidden in the shadow of the candle, making it blurry and unclear.

 He glanced at Lu Zhen with a half-smile, "Go in and have a look?"

 Lu Zhen said nothing.

 The two of them entered the house together.

The house was in a mess, cabinets and boxes were turned upside down, and the papers and pens originally placed on the table were thrown to the ground and trampled everywhere. Du Changqing stood on the side with his eyes standing upright with anger, stamping his feet and yelling. Yin Zheng and Acheng stood at the door holding a vase, and picking up clothes.

　　The dormitory that used to be quite spacious suddenly became cramped as many people were crowded into it. Several soldiers were bending over and pulling something out from under the bed.

Lu Zong's eyelashes trembled slightly.

It turned out to be a copper box, about three feet long and wide, with a small lock hung on it, as if embroidered.

Shen Fengying asked: "Who lives in this house?"

 After a pause, Lu Zhuo took a step forward and said, "Sir, this is my house."

 Shen Fengying looked back and looked her up and down.

The woman is wearing a pale moon-colored silk skirt and top, without any jewelry on her body. She only has a few clusters of fresh osmanthus flowers in her hair. Her eyes are like dots of paint, and her eyebrows are like ink paintings. Under the light, she really looks like a beautiful lady.

 It sounds outrageous for such a beautiful woman to kill people and bury their bodies.

What’s more, his men almost turned the entire hospital upside down tonight. Except for the evidence under the plum tree, they haven’t found anything yet. If the person who made the report had not been a member of Renxin Medical Center, Shen Fengying would have almost doubted whether the report was a prank.

 He asked the person in front of him: "What is in this box?"

 Lu Huan replied: "It's some ordinary things."

 It is not very clear.

Hearing this, Shen Fengying frowned and asked, "What ordinary thing?"

“Sir, they are some worthless gadgets.”

 The more vague she became, the more suspicious Shen Fengying felt and winked at his men.

When the soldier who dragged the box out saw this, he lifted the copper box and shook it. There was a muffled "bang bang" sound from inside, as if something heavy was rolling inside.

 “Open the box.” Shen Feng said to Lu Huan, his eyes were no longer as soft as before, and they were cold and stern.

“Sir, it’s been so long and the key can no longer be found.”

There was silence in the room, and the movements of the other soldiers had stopped at some point. Du Changqing's eyes flickered between Tongxiang and Lu Zhuo, his eyes unable to conceal his surprise.

If it was just an ordinary box, just open it openly, why would Lu Yan avoid it like this? It seemed...as if he was deliberately covering it up.

At this moment, Du Changqing still wanted to struggle and said with a forced smile: "Doctor Lu, could it be that you secretly hid the money behind my back and hidden it under the bed? This is a bit unkind."

 Shen Fengying turned to Pei Yunying: "Sir, look..."

It seems that the case is about to come to light. Whoever takes the lead will take credit. Shen Fengying was not sure whether Mr. Pei wanted to take credit.

Pei Yunying raised the corner of his mouth and said, "You can do whatever you want."

 This means not to interfere.

Shen Fengying felt happy and no longer hesitated. He just said to the soldier holding the box: "Smash it, let me smash it open!"

Pu Bing received the order from his superiors. Without saying a word, he immediately pulled out the sword on his waist and slashed the lock of the box on the ground.

 “Bang—” sound.

　　The rusty copper lock was broken into two parts in the middle. It fell precariously on the lock and fell to the ground with a "snap".

 The lid of the box was also pushed open by the huge momentum, and a ball of something wrapped in cloth rolled out from inside.

Several eyes in the room shot at it at the same time.

"This is…"

Xia Rongrong, who was curiously walking to the door with Bai Shouyi to take a look, screamed, "Ah!", turned away suddenly, and used Bai Shouyi's body to block her sight, and couldn't help but tremble all over.

On the open ground in the house, there was a ball of something wrapped in white cloth lying on the ground. The thing was hidden inside. I don’t know what it was, but I could only see its round outline and blood all over it.

 This is a blood-stained package.

 Vaguely… it’s the shape of a head.

 There was silence in the room.

Du Changqing's face turned pale, but Shen Fengying felt happy.

 Evidence, this is evidence!

I didn’t expect that this seemingly soft and boneless female doctor would actually kill people in the medical clinic, and put the corpse’s head in a box under the bed.

He coughed lightly, put on an air of asking for guilt, and asked sharply: "What is this?"

 The woman's face showed a transparent paleness in the light. She pursed her lips and fell silent.

Xia Rongrong turned her back to the box and did not dare to look back. She said in a trembling voice: "It can't be... it can't be..."

Shen Fengying sneered, drew his knife and walked to the package. He picked up a corner of the package with the tip of the knife and was about to open it.

Pei Yunying was leaning against the door and looking at the movement in the house. When he saw what was going on, he glanced at Lu Yun. The woman lowered her head slightly, her body immersed in the darkness of the lamp, her weak shoulders hunched slightly, as if she was trembling with a guilty conscience.

His eyes moved, and something strange suddenly flashed in his heart.

Before he could understand where the strangeness came from, Shen Fengying used the tip of the knife in his hand to open the package in front of him.

 Everyone in the room gasped.

Xia Rongrong held her breath and closed her eyes tightly, waiting for the next shouting. However, there was silence all around, and after waiting for a moment, the expected scream did not appear.

She opened her eyes carefully and looked up at Bai Shouyi. She found that Bai Shouyi was staring behind her with a strange look on his face.

 This look...what did he see?

Xia Rongrong turned around and took a quick glance at the blurry thing in the center of the room. She was stunned as soon as she saw it.

The cloth of the package was completely torn open, and the white cloth was stained with blood. A bright candle illuminated a head in the package.

The head was dripping with blood, and it was cut off from the neck down. The two eyes stared at everyone.

 That's a pig's head.

Pig: Does anyone speak up for me? ? ? ?
