Sycamore Lane.

As the name suggests, the plane trees here are the most planted, the heavy snow falls on the branches and leaves, and there are more trees than people in this place, and they live better than people!

A rather sturdy body appeared from the mouth of the alley, he held a pig's head wrapped in lotus leaves in his hand, the red rope on the wine jug hung on the tip of his right finger, his eyes were fierce, his pace seemed to be slack, in fact, he maintained the best counterattack posture at any time, and swayed all the way back to a small courtyard on the east side of the deep alley.

Zhang Hu pushed open the courtyard door, and the first glance of his eyes was on the cobwebs of the wooden bolt, and he found that there was no movement in the slightest, so he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and dragged his tired body back to the house.

Groping for a flint to pick up the flint from the table, there was a "click", the sound of flints colliding, the faint candlelight on the lamp oil became larger little by little, and the halo gradually pushed away the deep darkness, revealing the old room.

"Squeak~"

Zhang Hu sat on the stool, opened his bow left and right, and couldn't wait to remove the straw rope on the lotus leaf and the wooden cork on the wine jug.

"Gollum~"

Zhang Hu swallowed and spit, directly picked up a piece of fat meat with his hand and threw it into his mouth, and hurriedly drank a sip of spirits, the cold taste went straight to the brain, and when it fell into his stomach, a hot breath surged to his heart.

Boom!

Before the end of the "ah~" sound landed, Zhang Hu suddenly felt a huge force hit his head, and the already dilapidated wooden table was instantly shattered, and meat and spirits were spilled on the ground.

"Ahh

"Isn't that wrong? That's the guy, right?"

At this time, Zhang Hu heard the voice of the person who attacked him, and there was another person.

"Hmm...... Wait for Jiang Ye to come over. ”

Immediately after that, a slight skull shattering sound sounded, Zhang Hu's pupils widened, and darkness hit like a tide, and he didn't know anything in the next second!

"Oops, it seems that I used a little more strength, and I haven't knocked people out for a long time. A voice of some chagrin sounded.

In the dark world, time seems to have become extremely blurred, and Zhang Hu only feels that he is floating in the deep sea, as if he is about to drift forever.

It's just that suddenly, a monstrous wave rises on the calm sea, and the huge wave dozens of meters high directly laps over, Zhang Hu fell to the depths of the seabed, and his mouth "gurgling" made a bubble sound, and an indescribable feeling of suffocation came to his heart.

Syllable!

The loud and crisp slap woke Zhang Hu from his nightmare, and he gasped for breath, and his whole body was drenched in ice water

"I just said, don't do things that you have and don't, things that can be solved with a slap, pour water. A slightly honest voice sounded in my ears.

The line of sight gradually changed from blurry to clear, and there were three people standing in front of him, a strong man with a wide body and a round waist, a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance, and a scholar who was obviously the master, about early thirties, handsome and elegant, but his eyebrows and eyes were cold, and his hair stood on end!

"Who are you......" Zhang Hu gasped and asked a sentence that should not be asked but must be asked, and there was fear, fear, and almost unreal ruthlessness in his eyes. "What do you want to do?"

At this time, he saw the obviously dominant scholar take out a porcelain vase from his arms, a porcelain vase that Zhang Hu was very familiar with, and even he had a special cabinet at home to store these porcelain vases with a woman's body fragrance.

I can't help but think about it.

"Could it be that Qiu Xiang's cheap woman caused trouble?

This possibility is very high, the Hongchen woman is the most unkind and cold, this is created by the environment, on the other hand, Zhang Hu is elusive in Qiuxiang, but he is generous, which is simply an excellent scapegoat.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Hu's face suddenly became a little cloudy, but before he could say anything to justify, the scholar's words made his heart fall to the bottom!

"Have you been to Niutou Mountain?"

Zhang Hu raised his eyes to look at the scholar, and his tone was indignant: "What Niutoushan, what do you want to do? Do you know what kind of place this is? Shangdang County! Aren't you afraid that the Spiegel Division will arrest you and put you in prison when the time comes?"

"Puff~"

But seeing that the honest man couldn't help but sneer, he hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, the corners of his mouth under the palm of his hand couldn't stop rising, and his eyebrows and eyes smiled, as if he had heard a big joke.

"Clumsy!" the ordinary-looking middle-aged man sneered. "It's all given you a chance, and it's not ...... useful"

"Lao Xu, I'll leave it to you. ”

Jiang Ru glanced at Zhang Hu coldly, and walked straight out of the house, the next interrogation was too bloody and violent, and it was easy to get blood there.

The middle-aged man known as Lao Xu suddenly changed his eyes, a terrifying cold glow emanated from the corners of his single eyelid eyes, and he only flipped his wrist, and a dagger similar to a scalpel appeared in his hand, glowing with cold silver needles.

The corners of Zhang Hu's eyes widened, his pupils constricted, and he seemed to realize something, and hurriedly said, "Don't ...... No...... I say...... I said......"

The words were blocked in his throat, a rough big hand lifted his chin, and infinitely malicious words came out of the honest man's mouth: "Lao Xu has taken out his tools, don't let him enjoy it, it's not easy to do!"

"Ahh

The hysterical wails of pain came to an abrupt end, leaving only the muffled roars of the room and the smell of blood peeking through the cracks in the doors.

In the open space outside the house, Jiang Ru held a freshly brewed hot tea in his hand, drank it slowly, and looked up at the sky.

I saw that the dark night sky began to snow again, scattered snowflakes, its first birth is extremely beautiful, but when it grows up, it brings people unbearable pain.

After a cup of tea, Jiang Ru just drank the last sip of hot tea.

The door opened, and Lao Xu walked out respectfully and bowed his hand to Jiang Ru: "Master Jiang, just ask if you go in." ”

Jiang Ru bowed his head slightly, and said hard to Lao Xu, who waved his hand again and again, and said: "This is what should be done, and please Jiang Ye Don't say these raw words, go first and ask clearly." ”

When Jiang Ru walked into the house, Zhang Hu was no longer human, his nails on his hands and feet had been pulled out, the flesh and blood on his fingertips were blurred, and a special white powder was sprinkled on it, deepening the degree of severe pain.

Because of the specialization in martial arts, this world's understanding of the physical body can be said to be far beyond that of the previous life, and because of this, there has been an extremely terrifying progress in criminal trials.

Zhang Hu ate a carefully cultivated herb that could deceive the body's instinctive mechanism, so that he would not faint due to severe pain, but would always experience the pain of piercing his heart, and now his will has collapsed.

"Have you ever been to Niutou Mountain, what are you doing there? Who sent you? Who are you serving?"

"Go...... We went to the cottage under the pretext of delivering food under the pretext of Mr. Liang's order, gathered the group of old and weak women and children, and then killed them all, set a fire and left. ”

Zhang Hu barely held up a trace of eyelids and looked at the blurred figure in his sight, the words in his mouth were intermittent, but he finally answered like pouring beans, he really didn't want to see the demon surnamed Xu coming.

"We are all guards under Hongyuan Building, and it seems that the wind is a little wrong recently, Mr. Liang sent Miss Qiongdan to tell us to be cautious and careless. “

Jiang Ru was thinking and delighted, although the puzzle of clues was almost built in his mind, but what if something went wrong, so that the original puzzle was considered a coffin, and a new piece of the puzzle appeared...... The truth is close in no time.

Immediately, Jiang Ru turned around and walked out of the room, his lips moved, and he saw a hideous smile on the corner of the honest man's mouth, and gently closed the door!

"This matter is not trivial, after this place is dealt with, you two hurry out of the city, I have already taken care of it there......"

Jiang Ru said softly: "Don't say that you can continue to help me, this time is enough, and I have my own plan for the rest...... There is no shortage of you both. ”

Jiang Ru's words blocked all the remaining words of Lao Xu in his mouth, and he couldn't say anything for a while, so he could only say goodbye helplessly.

A thin figure melted into the vast wind and snow, and the slightly open courtyard door behind him suddenly closed!

......

......

Shangdang, Yuan Fu.

It not only occupies a huge area and the layout is extremely ingenious, extremely luxurious, the rockery in the house is flowing water, the corridor is full of twists and turns, and even raises many rare birds and beasts in it. If you don't say it, it's hard to imagine that this is a family of generals for hundreds of years, not a family with a lot of money.

Let's talk about the three sons of the Yuan family, Yuan Qianhong, Yuan Qianyi, Yuan Qianjun,

Everyone has a courtyard in Yuan's mansion, but although it is a courtyard, it is not much more than ordinary people's mansions.

Yuan Qianhong and Yuan Qianyi were born to their wives, or they are siblings of the same mother, the relationship between the two has been excellent since childhood, and Yuan Qianyi has always looked forward to the eldest brother Qianhong, but Yuan Fulong, the contemporary head of the Yuan family, loves his youngest son Yuan Qianjun the most.

This can be seen from the name, a thousand armies are easy!

But Yuan Qianjun's biological mother was just a bedside maid when the housemother got married, and her status was low, and she insisted on giving birth to the child for a while......

But the interesting thing is that although Yuan Fulong loves his youngest son, he ignores the suppression of Qianhong and the others, which causes Yuan Qianjun to be suppressed and bullied since he was a child, and it can be said that his status in the Yuan family at that time was not as good as a dog, and his mother even died because of this.

This situation changed greatly when Yuan Qianjun was ten years old, it seems that something big happened in Yuan's mansion, and no outsiders know the specific situation, but since then, Yuan Qianjun's status has skyrocketed, and the treatment, including the silver taels distributed every month, is also the same as the other two princes.

Since then, Yuan Qianjun has completely become the leading gentleman in Shangdang County, with a lustful voice and a dog, lingering among the Qinglou and unable to extricate himself, and also established the [Thirteen Taibao] to follow the younger generation of the old rival Gongsun family!

Winter nights always come very quickly, and when it is unitary, the sky is dark.

Outside the courtyard of the eldest son of the Yuan family, a handsome young man, surrounded by a group of family guards, stepped into the house in the wind and snow.

The furnishings in the house are relatively simple, the most is the row of bookshelves, which are full of bamboo slips and books, the walls are hung with paintings by famous artists, and a black and gold tripod in the center burns with a pleasant temperature, which is quite like spring in the four seasons.

The handsome young man took off the hood on his head and hung his snow-white mink coat on a wooden shelf, seeing that his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Yuan Qianjun.

Yuan Qianhong has just returned from the Spiegel Division, he is twenty-four this year, and he is an official in the Spiegel Division, whether it is by virtue of his own talent or the strength of the Yuan family, his career is always smooth sailing, if there is no accident, he will stay up for a few more years, and after Yang Xian is promoted, he is very likely to sit in the position of the head of the Spiegel Division.

Originally, the only strong competitor was the people of the Gongsun family, but unexpectedly, the Yuan family took the opportunity to beat the water dog, and there was no one who could compete with Yuan Qianhong in the Shangdang Spiegel Division.

As soon as Yuan Qianhong sat down, the door opened softly, and dozens of maids walked in with hot meals, chicken, duck, fish, vegetables and soup.

In front of the eldest prince, a long table made of pear blossom wood was placed, and the meals were placed one by one, and the taste was so fragrant that the gluttonous worms in the stomach could no longer stand it.

Even the chopsticks in Yuan Qianhong's hand are trimmed with gold wire, which is extremely luxurious, he just tastes the food in front of him, and the maid who is specially left to serve next to him will take it, if the taste is particularly in line with his heart, he will only eat two more bites.

After a full meal......

The maids would clean up the table with a very quick and gentle movement that would not irritate them, serve the freshly brewed hot tea, and gently withdraw.

Yuan Qianhong held an ancient book in his hand and read it with relish, and took a sip of hot tea from time to time, leisurely.

Although the furnishings of this room are simple, in ancient times books were hard to find, especially valuable books, and in this room, the rows of bookshelves are piled up with books and bamboo slips, which are simply pieces of gold that exude golden light!

At this time, a black shadow kneeling on one knee suddenly appeared in front of Yuan Qianhong, his whole body was shrouded in black clothes, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and he said respectfully: "Young master, Xishan is here." ”

"Pak~"

Yuan Qianhong closed the book, thought for a while, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "Let him come over." ”

The dark shadow nodded, and suddenly disappeared into a blur of afterimage.

After a short while, I heard a slight click, similar to the sound of gears turning, and then the outline of a stone door suddenly appeared on the wall on the right side of the house, and then the stone door was pushed open.

The black shadow walked out first, followed by Liang Xishan!

Liang Xishan's expression was solemn, and when he saw Yuan Qianhong smiling at him, the respectful expression on his face became thicker and thicker, and he saw him hurriedly come to Yuan Dagongzi, shook his sleeve robe twice, bowed his head, and shouted:

"House slave Liang Xishan, I've seen the eldest son!"
