049 Recognize the corpse

Pee Ziyao is tall and upright, pale, wearing a jade brocade gown, embroidered with ink-colored back coat, and a slight smell of charcoal. He was so angry that the jade tree was in the wind, elegant and modest and gentlemanly. At this time, his son held the half-open door in his hand and stood still, as if it were a silent picture outside the hazy fog.

"I'm coming."

The cold wind roars and snow all over the sky. Yunqing stood in the snow wrapped in a plain cloak. He shrank his shoulders slightly because of the cold, but there was a light smile on his face. Seeing Pei Ziyao in a trance, Yun Qing repeated with a smile: "Master Pei, here we are coming."

Pei Ziyao was stunned, and the chaos suddenly took away, leaving only a pure coldness.

"I'll take you there."

Yunqing said thank you casually, but Zisu smiled and turned his head to Yunqing, "Is it really not going in?"

"There is no time," Yun Qing said carelessly, "What's more, if you really want to go in, it's not Master Pei's turn to talk to us."

No one knows about the Pei family, but Yunqing's heart is like a mirror. Among other things, the day after tomorrow is the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, which is the day when Pei Ziyao and the Ye family were married. Originally, Pei Ziyao planned to enter the door at the same time on May 1st at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, but now he has decided on his wife early, but he has worked hard for an infertile concubine.

But after all, Pei Ziyao is very scholarly. He is not like Mu Chuiliang and not like her. Their biggest revering for survival is their own calculation, but Pei Ziyao never needs it - so his calculation is really full of loopholes.

She just didn't expect that one day it would be Pei Ziyao's turn to trick him, but... she really disdained to be Pei Ziyao's opponent.

Pei Ziyao stopped several times, but finally didn't say a word. He took the four of them to a very remote small courtyard, which was probably abandoned in the past and looked very desolate. It is also a winter snow scene, and other places are still decorated with pines, cold plums, narcissus, etc. It looks like a pure white piece of silver.

There is a jujube tree in the yard, and under the jujube tree is an old well. There is only one main room and two huts. Yunqing fixed his eyes and took a look. The title of the main house is "Bo Meng Jingwei", which is not a decent word, but next to it is the couplet of dragons and phoenix dancing, which is written the famous sentence "The Book of Songs • Xiaoya • Caiwei": "I used to go, Yang Liuyi. Today, I will think about it. It's raining and snowing. Yunqing is familiar with that word. It is clear that it was written by his master, Second Master Pei - it seems that it was the place where Second Master Pei lived before he left the Pei family.

"I'll think about it today, it's raining and snowing', but it's very appropriate," Yunqing looked left and right, reached out and touched the strong branches of the jujube tree and said, "How nice this yard is. It's really a pity that it's abandoned."

Peyasu looks more and more gloomy.

Yunqing closed his hand and said with a smile, "Looking at the new, I almost forgot the business. Master Pei, please."

She called him "Master Pei" several times. Pei Ziyao's handsome face gradually became bloodless. The ink-colored coat made him look serious, and the jade clothes made him paler. He was obviously the owner of this place, but he looked more like a pale ghost with nowhere to stay.

Yun Qing lowered his head, laughed at himself, and said to himself that he would naturally have nowhere to settle down.

Pei Ziyao opened the door with his own hands. The room was not big and looked clean, but there were traces of hurried cleaning everywhere. Obviously, the Pei family usually did not come here. There are still two dusty calligraphy and paintings of Second Master Pei hanging in the room. The table facing the door is clean, and the two white waxes above are still swaying faint candlelight.

Yunqing looked around for a while, and finally turned his eyes to a coffin in the room. The coffin looks new, but the people lying there are really unruly. One face has been smashed by stones, the right arm is completely gone, the chest is also bruised, and the white bones can be seen in many places. Because of the cold weather, the body has frozen into a horrible cyan.

Yunqing covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and frowned from afar, with no intention of moving forward.

Pei Ziyao looked at Yunqing blankly and said for a long time, "Lord Yin Sun of Chongzhou Prefecture in the land of Bashu sent his escort to send the body, saying that he found the second uncle's bag beside him, and there was also the second uncle's wrench in his left hand. Here is a handwritten letter from Lord Sun. Please have a look.

After saying that, he took out an open letter from his arms. Yun Qing still covered his mouth and nose with a silk hand, and reached out to receive it with the other hand, but did not open it.

"The letter was accompanied by multiple testimonies, proving that the second uncle was indeed at the scene on the day of the incident, and his clothes and bags were also right. Therefore, Lord Sun did not dare to delay and sent everything to Wuhua City quickly," Pei Ziyao stood near the coffin and looked at Yunqing carelessly and said, "But after all, you are the apprentice of the second uncle, and now you are also in charge of the second uncle's Lanyuan, so you have to come to identify the corpse in person."

Pei Ziyao has finished what he should have said, and he only stood one step away from Yunqing with his hands behind his back.

Yunqing's hand covering his mouth and nose with a silk hand has not been moved. He pinched the letter with his right hand, which was indeed thick. Presumably the so-called handwritten letter from Lord Sun, the testimony of the witness, the detailed record of the autopsy and so on are all available. Yunqing didn't mean to open it. He just looked at the envelope carefully and wrote: "Pei Wenlin, the head of the Pei clan of Wuhua." The signature: "Zhongzhou Prefecture Yin Suncheng is here."

"Young Master Pei," Yunqing looked at the envelope and asked, "Lord Sun wrote in his letter, please ask Mr. Pei to open this book in person. Master Pei and my master are brothers of a mother. I don't know what Mr. Pei thinks about this matter?"

Pei Ziyao's look clearly that he can't understand Yunqing.

Yunqing's hand covering her mouth and nose did not let go. Without waiting for her answer, she smiled and said, "Look at my question. Since the Pei family placed the coffin in the garden where my master used to live, it must have been confirmed that this is my master. Otherwise, the Pei family will not let an unknown person enter for nothing. The Pei family entered the courtyard where Master Pei's younger brother and Master Pei's second uncle used to live, how unnostalgic it was.

Pei Ziyao stagnated and said smoothly, "Since Lord Sun said so, human and material evidence are available, my Pei family dare not be careless. Ask the old servant who had served the second uncle before to recognize that there are eight of them, and it is difficult to determine whether my father is sick in bed and powerless. So whether it is or not, you have to say a word to get it right.

"Do you want me to get it?" Yunqing half lowered his head and covered his mouth and nose with a veil, but his eyes flowed and smiled, "Master Pei, this is really embarrassing. If it's not my master, and men and women are not close to me, how can I see and touch the man's body? If that's my master, it would be a great crime to blasve the master's body. After all, men and women are not close. It's not as convenient for Master Pei to decide in person... Is Master Pei willing to help me with this?"

Pei Ziyao's hand trembled slightly, and he raised his head and looked at Yunqing with a waveless look.

"My master is eight feet long and powerful, standing like a little saint, lying with the legacy of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Master Pei, please take a look at it for me. Is it my handsome and heroic master in the coffin?

Pep Ziyao suffocated and his eyes were weak. Up to now, she finally began to show her body.

"I'm stiff, talk about heroic posture."

Yunqing also didn't care and continued to ask, "My master's eyebrows are as bright as jade, 'like gold as tin, like jade as jade'. Master Pei, please take a look at it for me. Is it my extraordinary and handsome master in the coffin?

Pei Ziyao became more and more stiff. Even if the silence made it colder here, it was a little difficult to say, "There are bruises all over the body. Let's talk about appearance."

"Yes, I'm really confused," Yunqing still said unhurdenly. "There is a small mole at the root of my master's right ear, with a blue and black color. My master has an old scar in his right hand, an inch long knife wound. Please ask Master Pei to take a look at it for me. Is it my master in the coffin?

Pei Ziyao glanced at the coffin casually and said unwarmly, "Right hand? There is no right hand to speak of."

"Oh..." Yunqing raised his voice and sighed, then stared at Pei Ziyao and smiled, "That's really strange. I don't know how others recognized me as my master..."

Lu, the general manager of Lanyuan, and Zisu, the maid of Lanyuan, also echoed, "I'm afraid it's hard to talk nonsense just by bag!"
