"This ...... Xia Guan is not a person in the rivers and lakes, and he really doesn't know where to do martial arts. The governor of Xiangyang County cautiously replied to the man's face, very apprehensive.

Looking at the world, no one knows that he is a powerful character, because he has helped Jinshang ascend the throne at a young age, he has already controlled the two important yamen of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and he is as comfortable as wiping a sword and watching flowers. The officials were frightened, and the people were afraid of them like ghosts, except for the masters in the imperial city palace, which one was in his eyes? At this moment, the man who was not wearing court clothes and not wearing a sword stood quietly and looked down at the corpse of the water ghost thirteen, and the corners of his lips pressed slightly, as if he had a trace of compassion.

It's really ridiculous, but how dare the governor show a hint of sneer at this high-ranking eunuch, don't laugh at him, he just wants to cry out loud now. A nobody in the rivers and lakes actually alarmed the evil god of Dongchang, whether it happened to pass through Xiangyang or carried out some unknown secret missions for the new majesty, in short, others came. And as soon as he came, there was basically no difference between him and the emperor in person, and the state pastor, who couldn't figure out his intentions, could only serve with 120,000 points of care.

Fortunately, Yongque just asked casually, the temples and rivers and lakes have always been two boundaries where well water does not interfere with river water, and he is not very interested in paying too much attention to a sect that has never even heard of a name.

The corpse of the water ghost thirteen was laid flat and naked/naked on the coroner's table, and the whole body was preliminarily cleaned, which was not clean and clean, but at least it could be seen. The uncovered body was intact and undamaged, and there were several brown scars on the joints and wrists, but they had long since healed and could be seen to be old wounds; The monkey-like thin face is narrow and the bones are protruding, the eyes are half-open, and the death appearance can be regarded as peaceful, but the face is too pale, without a trace of blood.

It is almost exactly the same as the household official Manmen who was out of business overnight in Yanjing, and what is even more coincidental is that thirteen people died that night, and there is also a thirteen names in this dead person.

Interesting.

Yongque slowly paced around the corpse, his wonderful eyes occasionally flickering slightly, making it impossible to see what he saw. He stopped when he reached the head of the water ghost thirteen, pulled out a golden handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose, and leaned slightly to stare at a certain point. This kind of behavior is only pretentious and not heroic when it rests on other men; But what he did was natural harmony, as if he was born to be noble and arrogant above ten thousand people, and not half of the red dust.

"What is this?" Yongque suddenly asked softly.

"Huh?" Frightened, Zhou Mu hurriedly leaned over to take a closer look, and following Yongque's line of sight, he caught a glimpse of a black spot on the side of the neck of the water ghost thirteen. He was shocked, isn't this the fatal cause? He quickly wiped his eyes and looked again, but saw that the black dot shook and flew into the air, bluffing his tiger body and avoiding it.

Yongque watched with interest as the little insect staggered in front of them and flapped its wings and flew out of the window......

"This, this, this is a poisonous insect that kills??" It's no wonder that Zhou Muzuo thinks so, the body has been inspected, there is no external injury or poisoning, and the meridian bones are intact, and the death is extremely strange. I even heard that the head catcher at the scene said that the corpse that should have died a moment ago approached the noodle restaurant in full view of everyone and ordered a bowl of noodles! All kinds of sayings are strange and mysterious, and I panic when I hear it! Now there is such a small insect that looks like it can be killed with two fingers, although it is still a bit absurd, but it is much more acceptable for poisonous insects to kill people than for dead people to cheat corpses.

Zhou Mu wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with a wide heart, he was very old, and he was about to leave his post safely guarding this small Xiangyang City, and he didn't want to come to the state capital two days ago. Their officials who were born in the imperial examination looked down on these internal supervisors who flattered the master, but it is a pity that since Chengzu built the East Factory, the atmosphere in the court has gradually deteriorated and collapsed, and the servants in the palace have taken power and taken power, and the means are ruthless and inferior. Zhou Mu sighed in his heart and couldn't help but think wildly, didn't this water ghost Thirteen Mo have some big origins, such as asking for his life in the recent rebellion case from Beijing......

"Recently, there have always been some rumors that are incomprehensible, although they are the broken mouths of some long-tongued women, but when they reach the ears of the saints, they always cause trouble. I am a dignified Yan, a hundred years old and congratulated from all over the world, and my reputation is great. But the people are so uncivilized and believe in ghosts and gods, which really makes other countries look at the jokes, and even makes people with intentions muddy the waters! He dragged his usual slightly lazy tone, seemingly careless but poking at the state pastor's heart, "These servants in our family are not so talented as adults, you have done your best for Dayan's Jiangshan Sheji, just thinking that you can be a little loyal to the master, share a little worry, and let the master not worry about some worthless gossip, don't you say?" ”

His words were high-sounding, and he could even be called humble and humble, but when he heard the ears of the state pastor, he secretly complained, which slave can have such an eight-sided scenery as you, and it is impossible to live for a lifetime. Those who know know that you are a eunuch and a servant, and those who don't know at first glance think that it is a royal prince and noble, a descendant of the heavenly family! Oops! Zhou Mu was busy patting his mouth and spitting on himself, why did he accidentally flatter!

A eunuch, a descendant of the heavenly family! Phew!

Yongque didn't seem to see a trace of disdain in Zhou Mu's humility, he had seen a lot of such a look, from his entry into the palace as a kneeling eunuch to wash the toilet to today's position as the overseer of the Dongchang Jinyi Guard, he couldn't remember how many cold eyes he had seen. Does he care? I don't care. He knew that as long as he sat in this seat, even if these individuals scolded their ancestors for eighteen generations in their hearts, they would have to laugh and say nice things on their faces.

"The Overseer is right! Rest assured, we will never let these gossips flow into the ears of the saints and pollute the purity of the saints! The governor hurriedly showed his loyalty, and by the way, patted the horses for his black gauze hat and pension silver, "The overseer's heart for the saint really makes us ashamed, and I am ashamed~"

He smiled slightly, and was very impressed by the involuntary and insincere appearance of the state pastor: "What kind of ghost asking for life, killing people with unjust souls is just a clumsy way to cover people's ears." He was in a rare good mood, and spent a few more words with irrelevant people, "The death of a person is only three ways to die." Trauma, internal injuries, and poisoning. This person's hair and skin are undamaged, which can be seen that it is not caused by foreign kung fu, as for the remaining two ......"

As for the internal injuries and poisoning, Zhou Mugang wanted to identify his own work before he had time to open the autopsy, but the cold wind swept in front of him, and a red line appeared on Bai Huahua's corpse. Yongque received it into his sleeve, and the red line slowly opened to reveal the dark red internal organs and the blood that had been thin, and the fishy smell almost didn't smoke and the state Mu immediately vomited.

According to this weather, the corpse was dead, to say the least, three days away.

"There were no clotted blood clots, no broken internal organs, and no internal injuries. Then only one last possibility remains. ”

The state pastor, who was busy covering his mouth and nose, couldn't help but retch and said in a trembling voice: "That's poisoning?" ”

Yongque was noncommittal, he had seen the corpse, and it was the same as the case of the destruction of the gate in the capital, but it was not done by the same person or the same group of people, and even what kind of poison it was, he didn't know anything. This is also one of the purposes of his trip to Beijing, a Beijing official is out of business? A sudden death of a reckless man?

It doesn't matter if one dies or thirteen, what matters is the purpose of the hands behind the qiē.

A baker's dozen? What does this number mean?

Seeing that Yongque lost interest and was about to leave after the horizontal knife split the corpse, Zhou Mu hurriedly dropped the corpse and came over to ask: "That adult, the two people in prison...... What to do? ”

It was his job to deal with the prisoners, but when Yongque came, he knew that it would not be his turn to be a small state pastor in charge of this case. The case of Dongchang is a big case that can set off a monstrous wave at any time!

"The two?" Yongque glanced at the small hole in the door, and wrote lightly, "It's just no passerby." ”

For those who don't care, it's a great gift for him to be willing to give alms, and this is still based on the cleverness of the little girl in the prison who thinks of taking the initiative to report to the official and put herself in prison.

The state pastor is still in trouble, the person who was arrested at the scene of the murder, and everyone in the hall of surprise kept saying that the little girl knew the beggar and the water ghost thirteen, no matter how you look at it, she is not a passerby! But the Overseer only glanced at it, and said that it was a passerby, and he didn't say how to let it go or not.

He was so worried that he almost pulled his hair, and Yongque, who had already gone out of the door, suddenly kindly threw a sentence: "If your lordship is not at ease, send two pawns to follow them out to have a look." ”

"Shangqingmen? It sounds very grandiose and lofty, but ......" The beggar helped the disciple pick up a grass and put it in his mouth, he seemed to be very comfortable with the encounter, leaning against the wall comfortably, and staying not like a prison cell but like a palace compound, "If there is a famous and factional, why have I never heard of it?" ”

Qin slowly replied unfathomably: "The division is low-key, and it is just in secrecy. ”

Yes, how can a sect with only three people be high-profile. For his own sect, Qin Chu felt that the only desirable thing was the name of Shangqing Gate, which was very immortal, but the only merit was because the place where her master opened the mountain and established the sect was called Shangqing Mountain, and the most majestic building in the sect was the stone gate where Master Huaguang and his old man had all their savings.

Therefore, it is said: Shangqing Gate.

Local materials, convenient for realism.

I don't want the beggar to help the hero actually accept Qin Slow's statement, and nodded approvingly: "The great birth of the high-level talent is simple and low-key, the chivalrous man, the righteousness of the benevolent." It's not like the so-called famous faction, which is vain, but after seeing a little bit of petty profit, brotherhood can be thrown away," he shook his head again and again with disdain, "Hypocrisy! What hypocrisy! ”

It was rare for Qin to be slow and weak, and it was only for a moment, and the beggar gang hero immediately asked, "Listen to you, you mean that we will be released soon?" ”

"It should be...... Qin said slowly, "There is no tangible evidence, this matter of life and death is not trivial, and in front of the eyes of everyone in the city, you can't just catch a murderer and make up the matter." ”

"Oh......" The beggar gang asked casually with his head resting on his arms, leaning against the wall for a while, "Do you say that there are really ghosts in this world who kill people?" ”

Qin slowly rubbed his cooing belly, sniffed and said slowly, "No." ”

"Why did the dead man go into the noodle shop and order himself a bowl of Yangchun noodles?"

"Because someone is lying."

"Who?"

"Little Er," Qin Chu's eyes widened slightly, his expression innocent and serious, "He is the only one who said that he saw the water ghost thirteen walk into the noodle restaurant and order noodles again, so he is the only one who wants to lie!" ”

"......" seems to be such a truth when you think about it carefully, but when you think about it again, you think it's really that simple?

The beggar gang hero was silent for a while, and looked over with a smile, although his messy hair covered his eyebrows, but he could feel his ridicule without hindrance, "I can hide for a while, but I can't hide for a lifetime." The people of the Amazing Word Hall insisted that we were the people who stole their Juque Sword from the Thirteen Water Ghosts, and now that the people are dead and the Juque Sword is nowhere to be found, they will definitely bite us. After going out, I am afraid that I will be intercepted by them again in less than a day. ”

Qin sighed slowly, didn't say anything for a long time, and didn't know what she meant, and only when she thought she was asleep did she say slowly: "I'm going to uncover the long sky order issued by the master of the Martial Arts Alliance and find a dog for him." ”
