In February, the busiest place in Nan'an City is the Beidi Temple, less than a mile away from the North City Gate.

Ruan Shiqi turned his folding fan and walked along the edge of the long steps in front of Beidi Temple. He walked up slowly while looking at all kinds of people around him.

During this young year, he discovered that watching people is a great pleasure.

For example, right now, the crowd passing by him was very interesting.

That little woman, with two or three kilograms of powder shaved off her face, a red coat and a purple skirt, looks like shit, but looking at the way she handles it, she probably thinks she is one of the rare beauties in the world, uh, she actually

She used all her shyness to wink at him...

Fortunately, he was well-informed and couldn't help but throw up at that glance.

This person, no matter whether he is beautiful or ugly, he must first have self-awareness. His body, hair and skin are all given by his parents. There is no need to know whether he is beautiful or ugly. Why should he think too much? It is great to be frank, but this kind of frankness is really rare.

The old lady in front is quite nice, but she is so ugly. Her face is covered with wrinkles except for her eyes. Well, her eyes are also wrinkled, but they are just one that moves when there is light, but her eyes are so good and translucent, and her smile is so comforting.

It's good to be healthy and comfortable.

Ruan Shiqi looked while walking and saw the entrance of Beidi Temple. After entering the mountain gate, he walked along the corridor on the east side, avoiding the crowds of people offering incense and kowtowing in front of the main hall in the middle, and went to the back of the temple.

When he reached the last level, Ruan Qiyi's eyes fell on a woman kneeling a few steps away from the easternmost corner of the hall. Ruan Qiyi paused, took a closer look, raised his eyebrows, and stepped back.

Step, look again, walk a few steps forward, look again, eyebrows falling and raising, raising and falling, clapping the folding fan on his hand, laughing.

Ruan Shiqi took about ten steps back, jumped down a few steps happily, walked to the woman in a few steps, bent down slightly, and looked at her carefully again.

The woman was dressed like a girl from a wealthy family in the countryside, with her head lowered and shoulders hunched, she looked weak and timid, but her face was really pretty.

Ruan Shiqi chuckled, bent even deeper, and patted the woman's shoulder with his folding fan, "Brother..."

As soon as she said the word "brother", the woman suddenly turned her head to look at Ruan Qi. Ruan Qi was stared at by her sharp eyes for a moment, and then he was hugged from behind, and then he was lifted up.

jaw.

The five or six young men standing on the corridor behind Ruan Shiqi were also hugged by the two, their chins were removed, and they were pushed past the last major hall and into a small courtyard for pilgrims to rent.

"Do you recognize me?" As soon as they entered the small courtyard, Lu Yi raised her hand and tugged at the hairpin on her head while staring at Ruan Qiqi and asked coldly.

Chengying raised his hand and pushed Ruan Qiqi's chin, and Hanguang hurriedly stepped forward to change Lu Yi's clothes.

Ruan Shiqi didn't have the slightest hint of fear, and even his five or six young men looked calm.

Ruan Shiqi looked Lu Yi up and down, and clicked his tongue in amazement, "Brother, you are so good-looking, if you want to do something bad, you just have to show your face, but you still have to use such methods..."

"Beat me." Lu Yi interrupted Ruan Shiqi before bending to wash her face.

"I'll do it." Bai Dahu, who was standing behind Cheng Ying, trailed off and already slapped Ruan Qi Qi on the face. After the slap, four finger marks immediately appeared on Ruan Qi Qi's face.

"My surname is Ruan, my surname is Ruan..."

"Shut your mouth!" Lu Yi ordered without raising her head.

Cheng Ying touched a piece of unknown cloth and stuffed it into Ruan Shiqi's mouth very neatly.

Lu Yi washed her face, tied her hair, changed her clothes, took the folding fan from Xiao Lian, shook it open, and turned to look at Ruan Shiqi, who had been beaten by Bai Dahu with blood on his face and footprints all over his body.

He was holding his head and rolling in a tight ball on the ground.

Lu Yi signaled Cheng Ying to pull out some unknown cloth from Ruan Qi's mouth.

Ruan Qiqi took a sharp breath, looked at Lu Yi, and groaned, "You are the young master of the Lu family. Oh, no, I am not. I was almost beaten to death by you."

"It looks like he hasn't been beaten before." Lu Yi bent down and looked carefully at the embarrassed Ruan Qiyi just like Ruan Qiyi did to him just now.

"Young Master is so smart." Ruan Shiqi was about to laugh, but when his lips moved, there was a sharp pain on his face, "Who dares to beat me except you? Such a cruel hand? Oh, can you apply some medicine on me?

Oh, it hurts so much. I don’t recognize you. When you arrive in Nan’an City, don’t you recognize me? We are all relatives. You are so cruel..."

Bai Dahu didn't hold back much. This beating was so real that Ruan Shiqi was covered in bruises from his head to his face and body, and there was excruciating pain everywhere.

"I've heard a long time ago that with your little cleverness, you can do nothing but accomplish bad things! Sure enough." Lu Yi raised her hand and tapped Ruan Shiqi's shoulder.

Ruan Shiqi groaned in pain, "I didn't know... I haven't heard of any lewd thieves in Nan'an City. If there were, I would designate you if I saw you... But you don't act like that at all, you are full of murderous intent."

, you kneel down there, like an iron thorn, how can you look like a beauty at all? Can you blame me..."

"I think you still deserve a beating." Lu Yi narrowed her eyes slightly.

"I was wrong, sir, I was wrong, but your beauty, sir, are you still a baby, right? You don't know at all..."

"Hit me again!" Lu Yi said through her teeth.

"You can't beat me anymore, I was wrong." When Ruan Shiqi heard the word "beat me again," he screamed and jumped forward, hugging Lu Yi's legs tightly. "If you have something to say, please say it, but you can't beat me again."

Already."

Lu Yi stared at Ruan Shiqi who was hugging his legs tightly and rubbing blood all over his clothes. She couldn't believe her eyes.

Bai Dahu burst into laughter, and Er Zhuang simply covered his face.

After night practice, I quickly went to get my clothes.

"Tie him up and send him to the Ruan family." Lu Yi kicked Ruan Shiqi hard several times before throwing Ruan Shiqi off his legs.

"Wait! I have a few words, just a few. Young Master, you just pretended to be... that, it must not be fun, are you setting up a trap? I am familiar with this, maybe I can help, this is

I am not familiar with anyone in Nan'an City. A good man needs three helpers. Just tell me and I will definitely be able to help." Ruan Shiqi wanted to laugh with him, but his face hurt when he smiled.

Lu Yi changed her clothes and looked at him sideways. After a moment, she motioned to Cheng Ying, "Wash him and put some medicine on him."

After a while, Ruan Shiqi smeared a layer of ointment on his face and even his lips. He limped in and rushed to Lu Yi, who was sitting at the top, sipping tea and looking at him. He cupped his hands and said, "My whole body hurts.

I can't bend down, please forgive me."

"Sit if you can. If you can't, you can stand." Lu Yi pursed her lips to the side.

"Sit down." Ruan Shiqi moved over and sat down, exhaling and sighing twice, "I know that the young master returned to Jianchang City years ago, but why did he come to Nan'an City? No...

Young Master, please speak first."

"Tell him." Lu Yi motioned to Xiao Lian.

"Yes. This case was first discovered in Sui'an County. On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, I went to Sui'an County and happened to encounter a divorce case.

In the Yaojiaji, five miles outside Sui'an County, a family named Zhao and a family named Sun both submitted petitions. The Zhao family submitted a petition saying that the girl from the Sun family had lost her virginity and behaved improperly.

It was the son of the Zhao family who ruined the chastity of his girl. I beg the Zhao family to marry his girl and bury his girl in the Zhao family's ancestral grave."

Ruan Shiqi raised his eyebrows slightly, Lu Yi tilted his eyes at him and twitched the corner of his mouth. His legendary intelligence has never been spread at all, but the bastard is really a bastard.

"Both families burst into tears when they complained. The neighbor who came here said that the two families have been friends for decades and they are like brothers. The son of the Zhao family and the girl of the Sun family grew up as childhood sweethearts. What a good couple they are.

The young master became suspicious, and after asking the two families carefully, he went to the Sun family to check it out in person.

The girl from the Sun family went to attend the Chenghuang Temple Fair the day before. She went with her cousin-in-law who lived on the same street and two other little sisters from the neighborhood. The son of the Zhao family also went there and followed them at a short distance and talked with each other.

, the son of the Zhao family also bought ice bowls and steamed cakes for the girls of the Sun family.

The Chenghuang Temple is not far from the Yaojiaji. The Sun family girl and her cousin-in-law went back after watching the play and it was dark. The Zhao family's son and several neighbors and relatives followed them all the way and arrived home safely.

The wife of the Sun family said that the girl from the Sun family came home, took a shower and rested. She said she slept very deeply at night, but the next morning, she didn't see her girl coming out until three o'clock in the morning. She called through the door.

There was no answer for a long time. When I opened the door, I saw her girl naked from the waist down and hanging from the beam."

Ruan Shiqi raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Yi. Lu Yi glanced at him and lowered his head to drink tea.

Xiao Lian continued: "When I went to check, the Sun family had already cremated the bedding and other things on the Sun girl's bed, and sealed the person in the coffin. Later, they quietly opened the coffin, and the Sun girl was very

A virgin, but there is no blood in the lower body.

The young master asked people to investigate quietly. Before the Sun girl, there were two other cases. They were both hanged in the house after the temple fair. Her lower body was naked and she was not a virgin. There was no movement at night. There was a sister next door and she didn't hear anything.

The girls who died were all very pretty.

I asked people to keep an eye on the next temple fair, but it’s too late.”

"How many people have died so far?" Ruan Qiqi took a breath.

"Five of them were found." Lu Yi answered, "I chased you from Sui'an County, along the temple fair, to the Beidi Temple, to make you mess up!"
