Shen Man secretly moved to Tang Jiuyue's side and said in a low voice, "This week, the Ding ...... of the Gai family How is it exactly the same as what was dug out of the ground? She furrowed her brows, touched her chin and continued, "But it's not exactly the same, the words on the ding don't seem to be quite the same. ”

Although she is not as memorable as Tang Jiuyue, her memory is not bad. The shape, size, and old process of the giant tripod are almost the same as those dug out of the mud. The earth turned out to be Zhou Gai's, and there was a similar tripod in his house swaggering, which couldn't help but make people more and more suspicious that Zhou Gai was the real culprit of the corpse tripod case.

Xie Pan also said, "It's really exactly the same as the tripod dug out of the ground!" It's not good now......"

Tang Jiuyue glanced at the Ding, "The Zhou family is prominent, do you think it's wrong to put this Ding here?" ”

Shen Man thought about it carefully and said, "The Zhou family must also have an onmyoji in charge, but according to the pattern of this courtyard, this tripod really shouldn't be placed here." ”

"How do you see it?"

Shen Man recalled the books he had read in the Astronomical Pavilion, and said, "There is a lot of wood and little gold here, and there is a small lake dug by hand at the back, and it is precisely the lack of metal products to come to the town's house." It is correct to have a tripod in the courtyard, but there is only one tripod, which will form a lonely gold trend...... If it were me, Ding would still have to be put, but I had to put two mouthfuls, one left and one right on this road, which was appropriate. ”

"That's right," Tang Jiuyue said with satisfaction as she walked forward, "Right now, your ability to see feng shui has improved again." If the fortunes of the Zhou Mansion are to rise, it must indeed be as you say. But now there is only one ding, and the other one should be buried in the earth. ”

"So it's really Zhou Gai?"

Lord Xie almost sat on the ground, the wishes he made on weekdays were never flexible, but at this moment, he was really afraid of something, and he could already think of how he should be embarrassed between these big people in the future.

Tang Jiuyue stepped on the stairs and walked into the lobby. Hearing this, he shook his head, "Although Zhou Gai is arrogant, he is not an indiscriminate murderer. Let's go and see this Lord Zhou first, and then it's not too late to make judgments. ”

Shen Man smiled and said, "I was arbitrary." ”

Xie Pan hurriedly said, "Yes, Miss Tang is right, it's not too late for us to talk about it after we meet Master Zhou." ”

Several people had already entered the lobby between words, and Zhou Gai Zhou Shangshu was not in the lobby. A small man with a look of a servant bent his back and said that he wanted to take them to see Zhou Gai, and after Shen Man's inquiry, he learned that Zhou Gai, who was born as a military general, was practicing martial arts in the martial arts hall at the moment.

So a few people followed the little guy to the martial arts hall again.

The martial hall was surrounded by a full of weapons, all of which were shining with golden light, and it could be seen that this was commonly used on weekdays. There are a few human-shaped targets in the middle, as well as polished smooth wooden stakes, which shows that this Lord Zhou is in a high position, but he is not tired of practicing martial arts.

The little servant said, "My adults should go to the shower and change clothes now, and the three of you will sit down for a while." ”

Xie Pan got up and looked at the layout here, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and said to the two girls, "Two girls, you must be careful when talking to Lord Zhou later, it is said that this adult can kill a cow with one palm, and he can twist the head of an adult man alive with a slight movement of his fingers, we can't afford to offend." ”

Shen Man smiled, "If it is as you said, it is really possible that the corpse in this corpse tripod was caused by his manslaughter, and in order to cover people's ears and eyes, he was buried in the field sent to the meteorological gate?" ”

Xie Pan was so nervous that he almost jumped up when he heard what Shen Man said, and hurriedly scolded, "I didn't say that!" Please be careful! ”

Shen Man just wanted to make fun of him, as a parent official, he was so timid, he bullied the soft and was afraid of the hard, he was afraid that he often bullied the good on weekdays, and if he had the opportunity, he must be taught a lesson.

Shen Man's smile froze on her face before it disappeared, because she felt a cool breeze suddenly come from the back of her head, the wind speed was extremely fast, with a kind of ruthlessness. Shen Man was afraid in her heart, but she didn't know martial arts, so she could only be stunned at the moment. But he saw another gust of wind in his ears, and a white shadow quickly swept behind him like thunder and lightning, and then several strong winds rose, each wind was like a knife like a knife about to scratch Shen Man's cheek, but each blow was actually unharmed.

Someone is sneaking up on her, and someone is protecting her.

I don't know who attacked her, but it must be Tang Jiuyue who protected her.

It seemed that a long time had passed, and the movement behind Shen Man stopped negligently. She looked back, but saw Tang Jiuyue standing behind her like a tree, grabbing the arm of the other person with one hand and making a blocking posture. The other person, dressed in black and robe, with long crown and bundled hair, thick eyebrows and small eyes, dark skin, and a good appearance, with some age, about forty.

This person is undoubtedly the rumored "black-faced butcher" Zhou Gai.

Zhou Gai's thick beard twitched, and he smiled fiercely, "Little girl, who are you, you can actually catch the old man's move?" ”

Shen Man wanted to laugh when he heard this, seeing that this posture was obviously Tang Jiuyue had completely suppressed him, but he wanted to save face and say that Tang Jiuyue could catch his move? It seems that this Zhou Shangshuling is still quite face-saving!

Tang Jiuyue said lightly, "I'm sorry, I'm really a nobody." "It's a relaxed look.

Zhou Gai was stunned, completely unexpected, the young woman opposite would be so faceless. "What's your name?"

Tang Jiuyue said, "Tang Baiyi." As he spoke, he was still staring at the other party's face, and seeing that he was really confused, he couldn't help but smile mischievously, "How about it, I really haven't heard of it, right?" ”

There seemed to be some smugness in the words.

Shen was full of shame. What is Tang Gate Prison proud of at the moment? Didn't she just want to say that her pseudonym was better than her own, and she didn't want to be blind at any time.

Zhou Gai was confused, "Tang Baiyi? What's the name? ”

Tang Jiuyue was stunned for a moment, and her hand was slightly exerted, but seeing that Zhou Gai was in pain, her black face turned purple and blue. A pair of small eyes glared at Tang Jiuyue, gritted his teeth and said, "Who is your master?" ”

It turned out that he still didn't give up, and he always refused to admit that he was defeated by a young and beautiful girl like Tang Jiuyue, and he wanted to use her master's name to find a step down.

But I didn't want Tang Jiuyue to say, "I have a lot of masters, but martial arts are self-taught." ”

"......" Zhou Gai finally gave up, and saw a person in an official robe here, so he said, "What are you doing in my mansion today?" ”

Xie Pan was so frightened that he couldn't give up, but at this moment he knew that he was here to relieve the siege, look here and there, bow his head and said, "Lord Shang Shuling, these two Tang girls were invited by Zou Damen to assist the lower official in investigating the case, and the lower official Xie Fan is the county official of the capital." Yesterday, a corpse was dug up in the ground outside the meteorological gate city, according to the Tang Gate Supervisor, this place was given to him by Lord Shang Shuling, so he came here to ask. ”

Zhou Gai listened, and said to Tang Jiuyue, "Since you are from Taige, I won't embarrass you, let go." ”

Tang Jiuyue was not afraid of his deception, so she let go happily. Leisurely walked to Shen Man's side, picked up a cup of tea in her hand and drank it to herself. Shen Man stared at her with wide eyes and opened her mouth, her thin lips pressed against the edge of the cup, and then took a sip of tea. Her raised hand fell, for the tea was hers. And Tang Jiuyue was drinking tea close to the place where she had just drank.

Zhou Gai shook his sore wrist and put it behind his back to prevent people from looking at it. Yan said on the other hand, "That piece of land was indeed given to Tang Huiyuan by the official, but the corpse in the Ding is unknown to the official." ”

Tang Huiyuan......

Zhou Gai suddenly had a flash of inspiration, stared at Tang Jiuyue and asked, "What is the relationship between you and Tang Huiyuan?" What kind of Tangmen people are you in Shuzhong? ”

Tang Jiuyue didn't pause, and she didn't raise her head to reply, "I have nothing to do with them." ”

Shen Man can be regarded as having learned her ability to talk nonsense with her eyes open, but this is not the point at the moment, ignore it.

Xie Pan said, "Lord Zhou, what is a tripod in the middle of your front yard?" ”

Zhou Gai thought for a while and said, "Some people say that there is a shortage of gold in my house, and the emperor happened to give me two tripods, so I put them in the front yard to suppress evil." ”

"Since it's two Dings, why is there only one now?"

Zhou Gai explained, "Later, when I lost one, the old man felt that it was an eyesore, so he ordered someone to put it in the middle." ”

Shen Man was speechless, this week Zhou Gai also claimed to know a little yin and yang, dare to treat his house's feng shui like this? But he looks like he's not lying.

But how could such a big tripod be lost? How did the thief get the tripod out and bury it in the field? There are no dead people when they are shipped out? Will the dead have anything to do with Shangshufu?

Shen Man interjected and asked, "Lord Zhou, has anyone been missing in the mansion in recent years?" ”

Zhou Gai looked at her and shook his head, "It's normal that a few girls are gone, but no one is missing." ”

While we were talking, a man suddenly rushed in, this person was a girl of about sixteen years old, with a goose egg face, and crooked bangs on her forehead, and she looked very good-looking.

"Little bird, what are you going to tell me? Oh, it's not clean, even the water is black. ”

Zhou Gai got up, with a look of concern in his eyes, "Ting'er, what are you doing here?" ”

Shen Man and Tang Jiuyue glanced at each other.

Presumably this girl is Zhou Gai's daughter Zhou Ting, but how does it look a little weird? Could it be a fool?

Zhou Ting had a pair of big eyes, looked around with a wink, walked up to Shen Man with a smile, and even reached out and pinched Shen Man's nose, and said innocently, "Sister, you are so good-looking, the little bird said that you are unknown, but I think you are likable!" ”

Shen Man was pinched his nose inexplicably, but he was not angry, and replied, "Where is the little bird you are talking about, why didn't I see it?" ”

Zhou Ting smiled sweetly, and suddenly took out a small bag from her tight hand, this bag was very delicate, and there was indeed a vermilion bird embroidered on it. Zhou Ting put the bag to her ear, listened carefully and said with a smile, "The little bird told me not to get close to you, whoever gets close to you will be unlucky!" ”

She moved so hard that the pouch loosened, and the contents slipped out and landed on the ground. Shen Man bent down to pick it up, but after looking carefully, he was suddenly stunned.

In the palm of her hand, it was a phalange!

"This ......" Shen Man looked up at Zhou Ting, wanting to see something from her seemingly innocent eyes, "What is this?" ”

"This is a little bird," Zhou Ting smiled without hesitation, "it's that he has been talking to me!" ”
