Today's Shangyuan Festival, celebrating the same dynasty, there will be such a big accident.

This fire is so big, I am afraid that it will hurt the innocent, Shen Ruojiao is cold and kind, and she does not want to stand by, she has a thought and has the idea of going to help.

She leaned into her arms and remembered that her veil had fallen off, but if she appeared in the crowd like this, she would inevitably attract the attention of others.

She was frowning when a thin piece of silk was handed to her.

Shen Ruojiao was stunned, and her gaze followed the slender knuckles of the thin silk lightly, and moved up until she met the starry eyes.

She had felt familiar to her in the market before, but now that she saw his eyes, the familiarity was even stronger.

Before she could think about it, he interrupted her thoughts: "This silk handkerchief was newly bought today, so don't worry about it." ”

Shen Ruojiao was silent for a long time, took the thin silk, and thanked him.

Qi Zhen hooked his lips, and the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes: "At this time, you have already thanked you three times." ”

He saved her and helped her, but not to listen to her indifferent thanks.

Shen Ruojiao seemed to be aware of it, and glanced at him, a little embarrassed.

Qi Zhen diverted the topic: "Really go over with the lady." ”

Shen Ruojiao didn't refuse, but quietly moved to the side, widening the distance between the two.

Although I don't know what the purpose of this man is approaching him, in short, the farther away from him, the better.

This evasive action naturally couldn't escape Qi Zhen's eyes, and he lowered his eyes with a wry smile to hide the pain in his eyes.

He should blame her for being indifferent and unkind, but he found a good excuse for her in his heart.

She just doesn't like to talk to people, she doesn't just treat him like this, as long as it's not someone she recognizes and cares about in her heart, no matter what identity she uses to get close, she will stay away.

It's like this, and it's not to blame her.

The lights in the alleys were dim, and the faint moonlight reflected on the faces of the two people, half bright and half dark.

Shen Ruojiao walked quickly, and Qi Zhen deliberately fell behind her by half a body, so that he could look at her wantonly with his admiring gaze.

After turning a few street corners, Shen Ruojiao was surprised to find that the embroidery building that caught fire was actually the place where the group of people had stopped before.

Shen Ruojiao took a look at it from a distance when she came, and she remembered that this embroidery building was magnificently repaired, but now it has been burned to a black and blurred color, and she can no longer see the prosperity of the past.

The place has been surrounded by patrolling officers and soldiers, buckets of water poured down, but the fire is not small at all.

The people who were blocked by the guards pointed at the embroidery building and whispered.

"I heard there were still people inside. ”

"Wouldn't it? Could it be that Mrs. Xiao is still inside?"

"It's Xiao Niangzi and Xu Xiaolang. ”

"You can't talk nonsense. ”

"It's true, I have a friend who is a servant of Xiao Niangzi's side, and when the fire started, Xiao Niangzi and Xu Xiaolang were trapped in the room and couldn't get out. ”

Shen Ruojiao heard the conversation of several people behind her and frowned.

The fire on the day of Shangyuan was already terrifying, and if someone lost their lives because of it, then this case would be not trivial, plus ...... In the entire Qijing City, there is only one Xu Xiaolang, if Xu Qian is really buried in the fire, then this matter will be even more difficult to decide.

Xu Qian, the only son of Shangshu Ling Xu Yong, has always been idle, and the children of Qijing nobles disdain to be with him, but this person does not care about it, and still does his own thing, which often attracts criticism.

A few pawns who risked death to enter the embroidery building rushed out with two corpses and placed them in the open space in front of the embroidery building.

There was little flesh on these two corpses, and their faces were blurred, and a few small servants next to them stepped forward to identify the corpses, and took out a pendant inlaid with gold and jade from the male corpse, and immediately cried: "This is our little man!"

Shen Ruojiao was surprised, it was really Xu Qian, she really couldn't imagine that such an unruly and dissolute debaucher would end up like this.

It's just that she squinted at the two corpses placed in the clearing, and the pawns carried the corpses past her, and she always felt that something was wrong.

A taller guy pulled a short and fat middle-aged man to say: "It's all caused by your Xianlailou, you killed my Xiaolang, I think you have a few lives to pay!"

The little guy was furious, tugging at the middle-aged man's neckline, and spitting stars sprayed all over the middle-aged man's face.

The middle-aged man trembled and smiled: "How can you say that, our Xianlailou's top Xiao Niangzi has also been broken, I am also very sad, Xu Xiaolang died in an accident, how can we Xianlailou afford such a big crime!"

"He didn't die in an accident. ”

Shen Ruojiao's sudden opening attracted the attention of countless inquisitions.

The middle-aged man said urgently: "Who are you? Why do you say that!"

Shen Ruojiao raised his hand and pointed at the two corpses, and said loudly: "If you don't believe it, go and see for yourself what the difference between the two corpses is." ”

The middle-aged man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, moved over step by step, and looked closer.

I saw that the female corpse's mouth and nose were full of smoke, while the male corpse's nasal cavity was only scorched, and there was no filth.

"What is this?" the middle-aged man was a little puzzled, what could this mean.

Shen Ruojiao replied in a deep voice: "If a person is roasted by fire before death, a large amount of smoke and dust will be inhaled in his mouth and nose, and if he is burned after death, he will be like Xu Xiaolang's corpse, with a clean mouth and nose." Therefore, Xu Xiaolang was killed and then set on fire. ”

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.

This Xu Xiaolang was actually killed.

Is it just that the incident is really what this girl said?

Many people looked at Shen Ruojiao suspiciously, but they were still skeptical in their hearts.

The middle-aged man was even more frightened, if this Xu Xiaolang really died in an accident, he still had a reason to excuse himself, but now he was pointed out that he was killed in Xianlai Building, as the boss of Xianlai Building, how could he escape from it.

This Xu Xiaolang is also noble, which is simply killing him.

He made an expression that was more ugly than crying, and begged for mercy: "This girl, you can't talk nonsense, this ...... The little ones can't afford to lose their lives. ”

Shen Ruojiao looked at him fixedly, and said loudly: "Since Xu Xiaolang was killed, he only needs to let his murderer pay for his life, how can it be your turn to pay for his life?"

The middle-aged man replied tremblingly: "This Xu Xiaolang was killed in Xianlai Tower, if Xu Lingjun knows, I am afraid that we will let our entire Xianlai Building bury Xu Xiaolang." ”

"Nonsense!" Shen Ruojiao raised his voice and rebuked sharply, "I don't know that there is a law in the Qi Dynasty that is so cruel and arrogant. ”

The middle-aged man was so frightened that he trembled, but he didn't kneel down for Shen Ruojiao, now he was really going to cry, and said tremblingly: "Xiaomin definitely has no intention of discrediting the laws of the Qi Dynasty, Xiaomin is soft-spoken, and he is really frightened." ”

"Whether it's Dali Temple or Shangshutai, no one will be charged with trumped-up charges, you just need to tell the adults everything you know without concealment. Shen Ruojiao softened her tone, and her voice was gentle, like a spring breeze, blowing away the middle-aged man's fear of power.

It also caused a faint ripple in Qi Zhen's heart again.

She should be like this, as bright as the moon in the sky, so bright, so holy, where she is, there is no room for any filth and filth.

"Well said. A clear voice suddenly sounded, and the person who came came from the outside of the crowd with clapping his hands and laughing loudly.

This man was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and at first glance he was either rich or expensive, and the crowd spontaneously retreated to make way for him.

He looks seven points similar to Bai Zhen, but his eyebrows and eyes are not as sharp as Bai Zhen, but slightly softer and more elegant.

Shen Ruojiao guessed the identity of the person at a glance.

King Jingyang, Bai Qi.
