As soon as the little girl entered the door with her front foot, Shen Muzhi immediately followed.

The little girl who was walking in front heard the movement, turned her head and saw Shen Mu, and immediately turned cold, and was about to scold, but this time Shen Muzhi didn't give her a chance, and raised her hand with a hand knife, which simply smashed on her neck.

The little girl immediately lost consciousness.

Shen Mu put one hand around her, held the tray with the other, and gently put them aside before carefully looking at the room.

The rooms are spread over two floors, with the lower floor being luxuriously furnished. Shen Muzhi turned around, but didn't see a figure, so he went up to the next floor.

As soon as I walked up the stairs, I suddenly heard the sound of the piano from upstairs. He stopped, waited for a while, and after no other movement came, he continued to walk up.

Soon, he saw the scene on the second floor.

In the huge space, there is no partition, only a white curtain fluttering in the wind. Faintly, a figure can be seen sitting in front of a large open window, with a guqin in front of him, which seems to be being debugged.

This figure turned his back to Shen Muzhi, and a green silk hair was casually tied up in a bun behind his head, and only a simple silver hairpin was placed on it.

When Shen Muzhi's gaze swept over the silver hairpin, he inexplicably felt that it seemed a little familiar, but he didn't care. Such silver hairpins, you can find a lot of them in any shop that sells jewelry.

He looked around carefully, and there was no other figure on this floor except this woman.

In other words, Yang Tianbao is not here. This made Shen Muzhi, who was nervous, relax a little.

He hesitated, then walked towards the woman.

Halfway through, the woman suddenly said, "Why are you back again?"

After seeing Shen Mu, after a moment of astonishment, he did not panic, nor did he immediately shout loudly, but immediately calmed down, frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

It is rare for a woman in a green building to be so calm.

Shen Muzhi was ready to step forward to restrain her, but seeing her like this, he retracted the steps he was about to take, and then asked, "You must be the picturesque girl?"

The woman, that is, the picturesque girl, nodded while looking at Shen Muzhi.

"Where is Third Brother Yang?" After confirming the identity of this woman, Shen Muzhi got straight to the point.

In his mind, since the third brother Yang often comes here to patronize, he thinks that he likes the picturesque girl quite a lot, even if the two are just a simple business relationship, but the women in the Qinglou can have this status, they are all smart people. So this picturesque girl should know a little bit about this third brother Yang!

When the picturesque girl heard this, she replied lightly: "He just left." ”

Shen Muzhi paused for a moment, it seemed that he and Yang Tianbao had 'passed by'. After thinking for a while, he resisted the desire to chase him out immediately, looked at the picturesque girl opposite, and continued to ask, "Then do you know where he will go next?"

The picturesque girl replied, "It's late at night, he must be home." ”

When Shen Mu heard this, he wanted to ask where Yang Tianbao's home was, but before the words came out, the picturesque girl suddenly said: "However, I don't know where his family lives, so the son doesn't have to ask." ”

Shen Muzhi looked at her, thoughts flew in his mind, and after a while, he said to her: "I heard that Third Brother Yang likes you very much, why don't you help me make an appointment with Third Brother Yang here, and I will wait for him here." ”

When the picturesque girl heard this, she said: "We do this business, we are waiting for guests to come to the door, and we have never taken the initiative to make an appointment with guests." Childe's request, please forgive the little woman is really difficult to meet. ”

Shen Muzhi stared at her, wondering in his heart the truth of her words.

However, while he was pondering, the picturesque girl opposite was also pondering.

After a while, the picturesque girl suddenly asked, "Are you the third brother of General Shen?"

Shen Muzhi suddenly chuckled in his heart, and his gaze at the picturesque girl suddenly changed.

The jade sword slid down his sleeve and into his hand, pinching it gently, ready to strike at any moment.

"The girl must have recognized the wrong person. Shen Muzhi replied calmly.

Ruhua smiled slightly and said, "Then I should have recognized the wrong person." It's just that the picture is fortunate to have met General Shen a few times, General Shen is a talent, not only leading the army in a good way, but also treating us the people of Qishi Town very lovingly, and he is a very good general. ”

Shen Muzhi listened to her say good things about her eldest brother and knew that she had already determined her identity.

However, she was fortunate to meet her eldest brother a few times, and this still caught his attention. My brother has always been very polite, and as a general, he must pay more attention to his image, how could he come to such a dusty place?

Thinking about it, Shen Muzhi felt that this might be this picturesque girl deliberately talking nonsense in order to get close to him. Anyway, there is no way to verify this.

However, Shen Muzhi couldn't help but ask, "You said you met that General Shen, when and where?"

"The most recent time, two months ago, was here. Ruhua replied, as she spoke, she looked at Shen Muzhi and smiled, and said, "That time, he also mentioned his third brother to me. He said that of the two younger brothers in the family, only the third brother was the closest to him. ”

When Shen Muzhi heard this, he couldn't help but have a sour nose and almost burst into tears.

However, this is not a good time to remember sadness, Shen Muzhi suppressed the grief in his heart, looked at the woman opposite, and after calming down, he had doubts in his heart.

With the character of a big brother, it stands to reason that he shouldn't come to this kind of place. But what the woman said doesn't seem to be false.

What's more, if what she said is true, it will make the eldest brother say these words in front of her, which shows that the relationship between them is probably not as simple as a few faces, right?

But this woman is also very familiar with Yang Tianbao. And Yang Tianbao is obviously not simple, and it is very likely to have something to do with the murder of the eldest brother.

Thinking of this, a thought suddenly flashed in Shen Muzhi's mind that made him feel terrified when he thought about it.

Could it be that the eldest brother was framed by his own soldiers this time, and it is also related to this woman?

Just when Shen Muzhi was in doubt, the picturesque girl in front of her suddenly raised her hand and took off the silver hairpin on her head, then raised her eyes to look at Shen Muzhi, and said, "This silver hairpin was given to me by him that time." ”

Shen Muzhi looked at the silver hairpin, and suddenly, a scene passed through his mind.

It was more than a year ago, and the eldest brother took a rare vacation to return to Beijing from the front line to visit relatives. The two brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time, and at home, because of the eldest lady's face, it was not good to stay in one place often, so they made an appointment to go for a walk outside the city together. When I went out of the city, I met an old man who set up a stall to sell jewelry on Linyang Street. The eldest brother looked at the old man pitifully, so he bought a lot of things at the jewelry stall. One of these things is a silver hairpin. Whether the style of the silver hairpin is exactly the same as the one in Ruhua's hand, Shen Muzhi is not sure, but remembering the familiarity that flashed in his heart when he first saw this silver hairpin when he came up before, he couldn't help but determine without much thought that the silver hairpin in Ruhua's hand at this time was the silver hairpin that the eldest brother bought from the old man at that time.

The eldest brother not only talked about family affairs with this picturesque girl, but also gave her a silver hairpin, which is enough to show that the relationship between the two is extraordinary. Or, in the eldest brother's heart, this picturesque girl should have an extraordinary status.

After once again confirming that the relationship between the eldest brother and this picturesque girl was not ordinary, and then thinking of the speculation that suddenly popped up in his heart just now, Shen Muzhi's emotions suddenly became excited. The previous composure is now gone. As soon as his feet moved, he dodged and rushed to the front of Ruhua, and was about to reach out to restrain her, but she suddenly grabbed the silver hairpin against her neck. The sharp hairpin tip was firmly embedded in the skin, and there was already some faint blood oozing.

"I know what you want to know! You stand back!" looked at Shen Muzhi with a very calm expression.

Shen Muzhi stared at the picturesque girl for a long time before he could barely suppress the anger and hatred in his heart that almost consumed him, and took a step back.

"Retreat!" Ruhua leaned his neck and held the hand of the silver hairpin, and used a little more force. The bright red blood slid down her fair neck, and with her extremely calm expression, there was a bit of poignancy and heroism.

Shen Muzhi gritted his teeth and took a big step back again.

"As long as you tell who is behind the murder of my brother, I won't kill you!" After standing still, Shen Muzhi looked at the obviously unusual picturesque girl and said coldly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, the picturesque girl who was still calm and threatened him just now suddenly had red eyes, and a line of tears followed.

"I don't know who the killer is. She replied.

When Shen Muyi heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy, he didn't believe what this woman said at all. There are too many doubts in her!

After taking several deep breaths in a row, he barely suppressed the roaring anger in his heart, looked at the woman who was still weeping silently, and shouted coldly: "Don't think I won't dare to kill you!"

Ruhua smiled bitterly and said, "I know you don't believe me." But that's okay, I'll make you believe me. As she spoke, she suddenly stretched out her hand back, as if she was about to pull something out from under the guqin.

Shen Muyi saw that the jade short sword that had been hidden in his sleeve fell into his right hand in an instant, and with a single arrow step, he rushed to the front of Ruhua's body, and the short sword pierced her neck with a phantom.

"I have this!" Ruhua raised the few letters in his hand and blocked in front of Shen Muzhi's sword.

Shen Muzhi stopped again, glanced at the letters, and reached out to grab them. I was just about to take a closer look, but unexpectedly, at this time, the picturesque was holding a silver hairpin and piercing it to his waist.

Fortunately, Shen Muzhi was still quite vigilant, although most of his mind was attracted by those letters, but in the end, he still left some of his mind on this picturesque body. Therefore, as soon as the picture moved, he noticed it, and quickly stepped back under his feet, and dodged the blow.

This picturesque girl is very good in terms of mind and concentration, not losing to most men, but in the end this skill is still a little worse. If her skills were better, or if she was replaced by that Yang Tianbao just now, then he would definitely be planted here.

The picturesque girl who missed the blow took advantage of Shen Muzhi's retreat, and actually got up directly, jumped up, and crossed the window.

When Shen Muzhi found out, it was too late to stop him. Rushed to the window, only to see the white, quickly fell into the back garden of the beauty garden, probably someone happened to pass by, a scream broke the silence of the night, after a while, the beauty garden panicked.

Shen Muzhi was afraid of being discovered, so he didn't dare to stay here any longer, so he hurriedly left here while everyone's attention was still in the garden below.
