On the day of the execution, as soon as the morning dawned, Pan Zilong and the little pheasant were taken out of the cell and walked through the long streets to the execution ground.

He was forcibly pressed to his knees on the execution platform, surrounded by people watching. Pan Zilong squinted at the black clouds in the sky, and his faint smile soothed the little pheasant's panicked heart. "Close your eyes for a moment and don't look."

The little pheasant raised a pale smile, with the warmth that Pan Zilong liked. "I'm not afraid of pain, I'll keep watching you, so that when we die, I can find you."

The executor sat in the upper room of the torture platform, and when the last wisp of incense burned out, the executor took the arrow and threw it with a wave of his hand. The crimson arrow landed on the stone slab with a crisp crashing sound, and Pan Zilong closed his eyes and let out a soft sigh overflowing from his mouth.

"The hour has come! Execute!! ”

Pan Zilong and the little pheasant were brought up and put on the ten crosses, the jacket was pulled off, Pan Zilong's eyes were locked on the little pheasant's face, with a reluctant attachment.

Seeing the dagger reflecting the cold light falling, a feathered arrow broke through the air, shot down the dagger in the executioner's hand, and nailed it deeply to the cross wood, and the tail feathers trembled.

"Keep people under the knife!!" With a loud shout, Qin Yan stepped through the crowd and landed firmly in front of Pan Zilong, with the flamboyant eyebrows full of youthful spirit.

"Who is so bold! Dare to intercept the law field! Come! Give this thief to this official and take it down quickly! The executioner stood up and shouted, and a group of guards stepped forward and surrounded Qin Yan, swords facing each other.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a horse galloped through the crowd towards the execution ground. There was a long neigh, and the horse was stopped under the execution ground.

Jin Wuji jumped off the horse and stretched out his hand to hug Ji Xiamo down, ignoring the swords around him that were about to reach the tip of his nose, Ji Xiamo walked up to the execution table calmly as if he was walking in his back garden.

"Ji Changgongzi ......" The little pheasant looked at Ji Xiamo in a daze, and muttered softly.

Qin Yan looked at Ji Xiamo, who was pretending to be forced, sneered, and took out a jade plaque from his arms. "On the orders of the five princes, the case of Pan Mansion is still suspicious, and the execution will be postponed, and Pan Zilong and the scholar Xiao Pheasant will be escorted back to be dealt with!"

The guards around knelt down, and the onlookers were in an uproar, talking about each other.

Ji Xia Mo glanced at Pan Zilong, who was stunned, walked up to the little pheasant and raised his eyebrows, squeezing his eyebrows and making his eyes full of ruffianism. "What's going on? Is this appearance enough to be cool and cool? ”

The little pheasant looked at Ji Xiamo dumbfounded, "Eldest son Ji, do you want to ...... Robbing the Dharma? ”

"Shhhh Sir, am I such a tasteless person? Ji Xia Mo cleaned up his nostrils and shook his bone fan coquettishly. Since I dare to speak out to solve this mysterious case, there is nothing I can't do! ”

"Someone!!" Ji Xia Mo took two steps back and leaned lazily on Jin Wuji's body, and with a wave of his paws, two pairs of soldiers surrounded him. Ji Xiamo yawned, hooked his fingers, and smiled. "Take these two and go home!"

"Yes!!"

Ji Xiamo did not return to the Prime Minister's Mansion or the Criminal Department, but took a group of people to swagger through the city, and came to the ruined Pan Mansion with great fanfare.

Feng Shaojin has been waiting here for a long time, and there are two men who are very familiar with Ji Xiamo beside him, Ji Xiamo feels that if his memory has not reached Alzheimer's, these two should be the third prince Feng Yelan and the sixth prince Feng Yufei.

In front of the gate of the ruined Pan Mansion, three books were prepared, and the three kings were sitting behind the case, and the guards in yellow were fierce and solemn.

Ji Xiamo was escorted by the soldiers through the crowd of onlookers, walked in front of Feng Shaojin with a smile, and bowed his hand to make a four-like salute. "The grass people see the five princes, the three princes, and the six princes!"

Feng Shaojin got up to meet him, held up Ji Xiamo with one hand, and said with a smile. "When you sent the news today, the third brother and the sixth brother were gathering in the palace, and if you didn't come, you were afraid of making a mistake, and when you came, you were afraid of slacking off, so you simply came over, drank tea, and came to see how you solved this headless case."

Ji Xia Mo grinned, and the two rows of little white teeth couldn't help but laugh. "It is an honor for the grass people to be able to come to the third prince and the sixth prince."

Feng Yufei stepped forward, looked Ji Xia Mo up and down, and smiled unrestrainedly. "I heard that the fifth brother has always said that you have seven tricks, you are very intelligent, and you are like a god in solving cases, and this king is here to see you today."

"The sixth prince is too famous! The grass people are shallow in their learning, their virtues are thin and fresh, and the five princes have a good reputation, and the grass people deserve it. ”

"Xiao Mo." Feng Shaojin, who didn't like these red tapes, opened his mouth to interrupt the two of them to praise each other, but in fact, they secretly clashed, raising their hands to signal Pan Zilong and Xiao Pheasant behind them. "The case is not closed, and these two have also pleaded guilty, why should they be retried."

"The crime of Pan Zilong killing Pan Zikai has been convicted, but in addition, the murderer in the case of Lord Pan and the fire in Pan's mansion is someone else." Ji Xiamo shook the bone fan lightly, and his smile was unfathomable.

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”

"The prince is calm and don't be impatient, and sit down first, and the grass people will tell the prince the ins and outs of the case." Ji Xia Mo turned sideways and made a gesture of please.

Feng Shaojin raised his eyebrows, couldn't help but tap Ji Xiamo's forehead with his fingers, and scolded with a low laugh, "God is mysterious and secretive, if someone else dares to be so presumptuous, this king will definitely kill him." ”

"Tsk! What is the relationship between the two of us, can others compare? Ji Xiamo rubbed his nose, his mouth didn't move, and the two brothers bumped into Feng Shaojin's shoulder.

Feng Shaojin shook his head and smiled, but he didn't say anything more, turned around and sat down behind the desk. Feng Yufei watched the interaction between the two dumbfounded, opened his mouth, and had to turn around and sit down behind the case, silent.

Feng Yelan, who had been silent, leaned back on the chair and looked at Ji Xiamo with an uncertain expression, an unknown storm brewing in the depths of her dark eyes.

The three *oss sat down, Ji Xia Mo put away the smile on his face and turned to look at Qin Yan, Qin Yan understood, waved his hand and ordered, and the two guards came over with the dumb woman and the housekeeper Li Zhi, who was full of wolves.

Seeing the two kneeling down, Pan Zilong and Xiao Pheasant were both shocked, and just wanted to go over, but they were steadily suppressed by the soldiers and couldn't move.

Ji Xia Mo swept around the crowd, opened the bone fan in his hand, and began to tell the story. "The murder case of 37 people in Pan Mansion has now been solved. One of the murderers, Pan Zilong, stabbed Pan Zikai with a fatal blow, and he has confessed to the law and will not say more. ”

In addition to Pan Zikai, the other 36 people were killed, and the murderers have also been arrested. Now it's up to me to unravel the grievances and grievances of Panfu for nearly twenty years! ”

Ji Xiamo glanced at the dumb woman and Li Zhi who were kneeling on the ground, and her slow voice carried the coolness and cleanliness unique to a young man.

"Many years ago, Luo Yao, the maid of Pan's Mansion, fell in love with a subordinate, but he never thought that the master of Pan's Mansion had a covetous intention for Luo Yao, so he forcibly took possession of it. This matter was a common thing in the rich and noble family of the official eunuch, but he didn't want Luo Yao to be pregnant. Luo Yao knew that if she was exposed at this time, she would die and have no place to be buried, so with the help of that subordinate, she designed a small accident, and Luo Yao was sent back to her hometown.

After returning to his hometown, Luo Yao suffered a lot of pain in his hometown before he got pregnant out of wedlock, but Luo Yao insisted on giving birth to the child, not because Luo Yao was kind-hearted, but because he wanted to take revenge and use this child to avenge Panfu. ”

Speaking of this, Ji Xiamo glanced at the little pheasant, and sure enough, he saw his face full of shock and disbelief.

Later, Luo Yao gave birth to a son, named Pheasant, and raised it until he was five years old, and then sent back to Panfu. Luo Yao knew that if those women in the mansion knew that this child was a man, he would not be spared. So, she disguised the child as a daughter and raised him in the boudoir. Without the threat of an heir, the child successfully moved into Pan's house. ”

"Luo Yao never forgot revenge in his heart, and taught this child from an early age to let him live for hatred."

Ji Xia Mo paused, took the water that Jin Wuji handed over intimately, and took a sip to moisten his throat. glanced at Pan Zilong and Xiao Pheasant, and intentionally or unintentionally concealed the affection of the two.

"The reason why this child was sent to Pan Mansion is because his mother Luo Yao is dead, no one takes care of her, so she has to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, but no one knows that Luo Yao is not dead, but mixed into Pan Mansion in another capacity."

"Being in Pan's Mansion, although Luo Yao is walking on thin ice and being careful everywhere, he still arouses the suspicion of Master Pan. So Luo Yao began to prepare, and began to buy kerosene in the capital half a year ago, planning the fire in Panfu. ”

"Pan Da's birthday banquet was the beginning of Luo Yao's plan, he had □□ in the wine beforehand, but Pan Daren wanted to come and not drink a drop of wine. So Luo Yao came to the sleeping Pan's room in the middle of the night, identified himself, and under the dispute, smashed the Pan's death with a lampstand. ”

At this time, Pan Zilong killed Pan Zikai by mistake because of a quarrel, and in a panic, he took Pan Zikai's body back to the room and knocked over the candle flame, intending to cause an accident. Afterwards, he left the house in a hurry. ”

This qiē was understood by Luo Yao, and this was exactly what she wanted. So she used the kerosene stored in advance to burn down the Pan Mansion, causing the later tragedy. ”

After the story was told, everyone was embarrassed to hear it, and their hearts were full of emotion, and they were silent for a long time.

Feng Yelan pondered for a moment and asked. "If it is true as you say, how did she, a woman, powerless, kill a grown man. And so much kerosene, how did she move it? ”

Ji Xiamo drank a cup of tea, turned around and looked at Feng Yelan with a smile, "She naturally can't do it alone, but what if someone helps him?" ”

Feng Yelan's IQ is to crush all the princes, and after only a little thought, he understands, "You mean, that subordinate?" ”

Ji Xiamo hooked the corners of his lips, turned around and walked to Li Zhi and the dumb woman who were kneeling on the ground, and bent down and chuckled. "This is for the butler...... Mrs. Luo Yao? ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar. Li Zhi suddenly raised his head, and a pair of eyes stared at Ji Xiamo, full of shock and disbelief.

"I examined the body of Master Pan, and the fatal wound was in the left back of the head, the skull was ruptured, and the wounds were uneven, which showed that the murderer was not a martial artist, and his strength was not great. Not only that, but I found that the fractured skull was not concentrated in one place, and the wound was strange in shape and angle, which bothered me until that day......"

"That day, I went to Pan's house to inquire about the case, and accidentally found out that she was a left-hander, and then I suddenly realized." Ji Xiamo motioned to Qin Yan to hand over the lampstand, Jin Wuji squatted down on one knee, Ji Xiamo walked behind Jin Wuji, raised the lampstand in his hand, and smashed it down in an exclamation.

The lampstand stopped steadily at the back of Jin Wuji's left head, and Ji Xiamo gestured with a smile, "If you hold the lampstand with your left hand, the murderer is a woman with little strength, so it matches both from the angle and the wound." ”

"Could it be that just because she is left-handed, you should assume that she is a murderer, which may not be too arbitrary!" Li Zhi roared and wanted to stand up, but was steadily suppressed by the two soldiers. "Besides, this qiē is all your speculation, and there is no evidence at all."

"Proof! Some! Ji Xiamo helped Jin Wuji up, intimately helped him pat the dust off his body, and nodded his head seriously.

"Last night we found a deserted cellar in the backyard, as Gu Pan Gongzi said, the cellar has not been used for two years, but I found that the cellar is very clean, it should be cleaned often."

At the mention of the cellar, Li Zhi's face was obviously a little whiter.

"We found a small secret door in the cellar, and in it we found a large number of oil drums, as well as two pieces of clothing." Ji Xia Mo motioned for Qin Yan to throw two oil-stained clothes in front of the two. "I've already asked Mr. Pan, this is what the two of them used to wear."

"That's right! And this. Ji Xiamo put a jade in front of the dumb woman who had been burying her head. This is what I found in Master Pan's room, I remember going to Pan's house two days ago and saw the hairpin on your head, as if something was missing. ”

Ji Xia Mo touched his chin and smacked his lips as if distressed.

"Hey! The mysterious man who has been collecting a lot of kerosene since half a year ago is you, right? Ji Xiamo tilted his head to look at Li Zhi, blinking his eyes innocently. Although they wore cloaks, if you just look at the size and listen to the voice, those bosses should be a little familiar. ”

"You talk nonsense!!" Li Zhi struggled with his body angrily, his eyes were red and he glared at Ji Xiamo, as if he was eager to pounce on him and tear off two mouthfuls of flesh and blood.

Jin Wuji stepped forward to pull Ji Xiamo back, protected him behind him, and looked at the crazy Li Zhi with cold eyes.

Ji Xiamo patted Jin Wuji comfortingly, stepped forward and walked in front of the dumb woman, half-squatting down. "I heard that Luo Yao's good embroidery was unmatched in the entire Pan Mansion back then."

"I saw you sewing a dress in Panfu that day, that dress should be your sweetheart, right? That is, today's housekeeper. ”

"How did you find out?" The dumb woman slowly raised her head, revealing a face that was still full of vicissitudes but still charming, and looked at Ji Xiamo calmly.

"How did you know that I was Luo Yao, wasn't that wild seed suing you!!" The mute woman looked at the little pheasant beside her, and her eyes were vicious.

The little pheasant staggered back, looked at Luo Yao blankly, and whispered "Mother......"

Ji Xiamo sent a faded purse to Luo Yao, "This is yours, right?" Very beautiful stabbing skills. ”

"Just because of this purse?"

"Of course not." Ji Xia Mo smiled, took out the blood-stained silk again, spread out the purse and put it in front of Luo Yao.

"This purse is embroidered with a gift on it. I remember Master Pan's name Pan Jie, the word, the ceremony. ”

Luo Yao closed his eyes, and his pale face was tinged with despair and sadness.

"You are left-handed, no matter how good your embroidery skills are, you still can't change the reverse stitching, every stitch and every thread, whenever you finish it, you always like to hook an extra stitch inward. I've already looked for Xiuniang, and these two embroideries are from the same person. ”

"When I found this scroll, the pheasant told me that it was given to him by his mother."

Luo Yao lowered his shoulders, his hands grasped the ground, suppressing his trembling body, and his eyes hidden under his messy hair brewed with terrifying blood and hatred.

"Heh......" The low laughter was eerie and eerie. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought you had experienced all of these things. ”

"Inference, just inference!" Ji Xia Mo waved his hands sheepishly, grinning without a little modesty.

"Luo Yao, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, you are ruthless, full of innocent lives, I am afraid that there will be no chance for you to atone for your sins in this life." Ji Xiamo patted Luo Yao's shoulder and wanted to get up.

"Why should I atone for my sins." Luo Yao suddenly reached out and grabbed Ji Xiamo's hand, and slowly raised his head, with a weird and hideous smile on his face.

Before Ji Xiamo came back to his senses, Luo Yao suddenly got up, took out a dagger from his sleeve, and stabbed Ji Xiamo in the neck.

"Ji Xia Mo!!"

"Xiao Mo!!"
