Facts have proved that Li Ruosu's previous speculation was not unfounded. That night, the Yalai people from Anping County found out that Yan Jingnian and Cui Zhiwei had sent someone to the inn.

"So a lot of people died in the inn, and someone saw your guards appear there at the time of the crime, and the county magistrate ordered the head of the book to invite a few people to come over for questioning. Cui Zhiwei and Yan Jingnian were dressed in fancy clothes and accompanied by guards, so they knew that their identities were not ordinary, so the head of the Ya Catcher in Anping County spoke politely.

"Just because we sent an escort there, the county magistrate asked us to interrogate?" Cui Zhiwei and Yan Jingnian were young, so it was Li Ruosu who replied.

"Then I wonder why you sent your guards there?" asked the headcatcher.

"Xiaodao calculated yesterday that there was a fire there, so my junior brother called his guards to take a look. Li Ruosu told the truth.

"Are you a Taoist priest?" the head catcher looked Li Ruosu up and down.

"What?" Li Ruosu raised his eyebrows, "Not like?" and then bowed, "Xiaodao Ruoxuan." ”

"Ruoxuan?" Catching the head blurted out almost without thinking, "You are the Ruoxuan who specializes in deceiving the little girl's family?" These words made Cui Zhiwei and Yan Jingnian listen to it and have fun for a long time.

"What the official said ......" Li Ruosu shook his head helplessly, "I don't feel like Xiaodao is a Taoist priest, but like a charlatan." ”

"There is something wrong with what this catcher said, and I ask for your understanding. The head catcher said a word, and then looked at the sky outside and rushed to a few people, "The hour is not early, the county master is waiting at the old inn, don't be embarrassed to catch the head, or go with the head catcher, right?"

"If it's just Xiaodao and me, Xiaodao will go to see the county master with the official without saying a word. However, Xiaodao's junior brother has a noble status, and if he deigns to see the county master, I am afraid that it is a little inappropriate. After Li Ruosu finished speaking, he looked at Yan Jingnian.

Without waiting to be asked, Yan Jingnian raised his head and revealed his family, "Master, I am the son of the Xingguo Mansion." Then he took out his identity card to prove that what he said was true.

"The prince of Xingguo?" There are only a few princes in the Daxi Dynasty, and the Duchess of Xingguo is still the queen's sister-in-law, and her name is not ordinary. The surprise of the head catcher can be imagined.

"It's this son. Yan Jingnian glanced at the other party, "What, do you still want this prince to go to see your county master in person?"

The head catcher hurriedly nodded and bowed, "There are a lot of princes, forgive the small ones for having eyes and no beads, and the small ones will go back and tell the county master." ”

"You go and tell you, sir, I'll be there later. ”

"Shizi, are you still going?"

"Of course this son is going, and he has to know what's going on. "It's just that with his identity, it's not a small county magistrate who can be invited.

"The little one will go back first, the prince of the world, you go slowly. ”

Yan Jingnian nodded, "It's okay." ”

The head catcher almost took the county government to catch it as quickly as possible and hurried back to the inn. Li Ruosu took Yan Jingnian and Cui Zhiwei to rush there in a carriage later.

Wu Zhixian got the news and hurriedly brought a group of people to greet him, "Xiaguan Wu Mingjie has seen Yan Shizi. ”

"Lord Wu doesn't need to be polite," Yan Jingnian said in the air, "This Shizi just came to take a look, and by the way, he looked for the two missing guards." ”

"The prince of the world, please, if you have a place to go to the lower officials, just say it directly. ”

"There will definitely be something to bother the adults, thank you in advance. After Yan Jingnian finished speaking, he glanced at Li Ruosu and Cui Zhiwei, and the three of them entered the inn again with their entourage. It's just that this time, the mentality has changed drastically from before.

When he walked inside, a pungent smell of blood made people nauseous, Cui Zhiwei covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and asked Li Ruosu softly, "I don't know how the boss lady is?"

"I don't know about this, I'll find out if I ask someone later. Li Ruosu has been looking around since entering the door, just looking for the proprietress . He discovered the dead air exposed by the boss lady through observing the qi, but in fact, the deduction is not as intuitive as the picture presented in Cui Zhiwei's mind, so he can only make a rough deduction.

"Uh-huh. Cui Zhiwei nodded, and subconsciously followed Li Ruosu's footsteps. With this strong smell of blood, it is definitely not one or two people who died.

Eventually, they were led to a larger room by a servant. The official said: "Yan Shizi, it's very chaotic outside now, the county lord ordered the small ones to greet you here, if there is any need, just order the small ones." ”

"Hmm. Yan Jingnian nodded, and then asked, "Is the boss lady here?" He actually wanted to know the news of the boss lady.

"The hostess, she ......"

"What's wrong with her?" Yan Jingnian asked.

"She was bitten to death. ”

"What beast bit you to death?"

The official shook his head, "I don't know if it's a little one. ”

"Then besides the proprietress, who else has been bitten to death?" The news that the spirit bird inquired about before was that several people were bitten to death.

"There's another girl, the niece of the proprietress and two more guys. ”

"Didn't you say there were still some people dead?"

"Yes. ”

"How did they die?" Yan Jingnian continued.

"Killed by knives and swords. ”

"How many?"

"A dozen. ”

"So much. The little boy was also completely shocked.

"Yes, otherwise the county magistrate wouldn't have come in person. I don't know if the prefect's yamen will also send someone after receiving the news. ”

"Let me ask you," Cui Zhiwei couldn't help but interject and asked, "What is the difference between the few people who were bitten to death and the death methods of the women who died before in Anping County?"

"I don't know yet, I won't know until I have done an autopsy. ”

"Then, did the survivors of this inn hear any sound last night?" "After so many deaths, there is no sound at all, right?" That's why Cui Zhiwei asked.

"Strange to say, these people all said they didn't hear anything. ”

"By the way, what about the guys who came back last night?"

"I don't know who the girl is asking?"

"Hmm...... Never mind. Cui Zhiwei didn't know what to say, she actually wanted to ask about the group of people they met before leaving. When she opened her eyes to look at the proprietress, she happened to look at the group of people as well, and in them, she didn't see death.

"Senior sister wants to ask the group of people I met yesterday?" The official couldn't guess, but Li Ruosu thought of one thing with her.

"That's right. Cui Zhiwei nodded.

"Either those people don't live here, or they're the ones who have the only yard here. ”

Cui Zhiwei's eyes lit up, "Senior brother is right. Then he asked the official how the person who had chartered the only courtyard here was doing.

"The gang was fine, but there was a murder here, and they stayed in the courtyard and didn't leave. ”
