Early the next morning, Yin Tiancheng came to Yamen, and was about to prepare a horse to go to Longquan Villa, when Governor Lin came over and said to him: "Didn't I tell you, let Ding Ming accompany you, why are you in a hurry." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"yes." Yin Tiancheng replied: "The child almost forgot. It's still early, and everyone hasn't gone to work yet, so I'll wait for him to come and stay. The two of them were talking when they suddenly heard movement in the wing room behind. It's not good, the back wing is a place to put stolen goods, is there a thief coming in? The two hurriedly got up to check.

Before he reached the door of the back wing, Yin Tiancheng saw the cold light in the room flash, and a Qingfeng sword stabbed at him. Yin Tiancheng saw that the situation was not good, so he pushed away Governor Lin's mansion, turned around and withdrew a zhang away.

"A bold thief, he dared to break into the prefect in broad daylight, quickly disarmed and surrendered, and he could still be lightly defeated." Yin Tianjian pulled out the long sword at his waist and waited for it. It was his mantra in the face of the murderer, but it didn't seem to work today.

With a sneer of "hehe", a slender young man walked out. He wore a hat, a green silk robe, and a precious Wuhuang jade pendant tied around his waist.

"You're Korean?" Seeing that the person who came was dressed in typical Goryeo costumes, Yin Tiancheng was stunned, he really didn't expect that a foreigner from the barbarian land would dare to come to the mansion to steal.

The Goryeo people didn't say the slightest word, and raised their hands and slashed at Yin Tiancheng's chest with a sword. Yin Tiancheng didn't dare to be careless, and blocked with his sword. With the sound of "ping-pong", Yin Tiancheng felt numb, his palms ached, and he said in his heart that this person's martial arts were not low, and he was afraid that he was not his opponent.

The situation is critical, and now there are two people in the house, Yin Tiancheng and Lin Governor's Mansion, Lin Governor's Mansion does not know martial arts, Yin Tiancheng also has mediocre martial arts, and the two of them will lose their lives if they are a little worse.

Yin Tiancheng knew the stakes well, and he used a sword flower to slash at the wrist of the Goryeo, trying to force him to withdraw the sword, aiming to solve the problem quickly. The Korean people have rich experience in actual combat, so they can't see his intentions, so he changed hands and blocked Yin Tiancheng's moves, and then attacked his upper three roads with a move "White Crane Piercing the Clouds".

"What the hell are you trying to do?" Yin Tiancheng asked him while dismantling his sword.

The Koreans still ignored it completely, and what answered him was the vicious sword that stabbed at Yin Tiancheng's neck, and Yin Tiancheng hurriedly replied to protect the vital point between his neck, and at the same time opened his eyes wide to find the flaws of the other party.

After nearly ten rounds, after all, the Koreans are highly skilled, and Yin Tiancheng's physical strength has gradually exhausted when he parries, and his swordsmanship has become chaotic. How could the Koreans miss this great opportunity, he took advantage of the situation to open Yin Tiancheng's sword move, and slammed his left hand into his chest, Yin Tiancheng couldn't dodge and was instantly knocked to the ground by him.

As soon as Yin Tiancheng wanted to get up to resist, the Korean man made a killing move, and the Qingfeng sword in his hand stabbed him quickly into the heart.

Yin Tiancheng suddenly felt a little desperate, he had tried his best, but he was still defeated by this Korean man in martial arts. The other party's martial arts are obviously much higher than his own, and it is normal for him to die at his hands.

At this extremely critical moment, the long sword of the Korean people was about to pierce Yin Tiancheng's chest, and a sword light suddenly flashed in front of him, and this light came so fast that people's eyes couldn't see it clearly. I only heard the Korean man scream, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground, and his wrist was covered with blood.

The person who can use such a fast sword is undoubtedly a top master in the martial arts, and there are no more than a dozen masters like this in the whole Jianghu, this Korean man is really unlucky, and he happened to meet one of them today.

As soon as Yin Tiancheng saw the person who saved him, his heart was suddenly relieved, and he laughed heartily, "Why didn't you come later?" ”

"If I'm late, won't you become a ghost?" The man also laughed with Yin Tiancheng.

The man who spoke was a man of about thirty years of age, dressed in a very shabby cotton gown, which was cleanly washed, although it had been patched.

Governor Lin smiled when he saw him, "Ding Ming, you came very early today." ”

Yes, he is Ding Ming, the number one martial artist in this mansion, I saw him touch his chin, sighed, and said: "I don't want to come to work this morning, I was only an hour late the day before yesterday, and you deducted three coins of silver from me." I am old and young, and there is a mother-in-law to raise in the middle. So I had to come to the government as soon as possible, so as not to be deducted again. ”

While they were talking, the Goryeo man got up and tried to sneak away, but the sword flashed, and there was another wound on his leg.

"If you try to run away again, my hand will shake, and I won't know where the next sword will stab." Ding Ming's voice was very soft, but it made people shudder.

"You're not funny at all, you don't have a sense of humor." Yin Tiancheng said with a smile.

"Okay, you two don't play tricks, go and interrogate this stranger for trespassing on the mansion." Governor Lin said.

Ding Ming stepped forward and grabbed the collar of the Korean man, and asked sharply, "What do you want to do when you come to the palace?" The young man was silent.

"Is it a hero, I'll ask you again, if you don't say it, I guarantee you have an extra hole in your chest."

"A good man spares his life, I say, I say!"

"It's really boring, it turns out to be a bad seed." Ding Ming let go of his hand.

The young man knelt on the ground and said, "When my master heard that the prefect had solved the case, he ordered me to come and look for the official document sent by Liaodong. ”

"Who is the master of your family, tell me quickly!" Ding Ming's question was not answered, and he saw the Korean man lying limply on the ground with a seven-star dart stuck in his forehead, and the man was already dead.

Ding Ming looked up in the direction where the dart had come from, and there was a masked man wearing a hat standing on the eaves.

"It turns out that there are accomplices!" Before Ding Ming finished speaking, the person had already jumped up like a wild goose, and raised his hand to stab the masked man's right hand obliquely with a sword. The masked man drew his sword unhurriedly to resist, only to see the sword intersecting, and a murderous aura rose into the sky.

Yin Tiancheng saw that the weapons of the two were competing with each other, and let out a piercing metallic sound. It's just a matter of moment, and they've already used seven or eight moves to each other, and the moves are all killer moves. Seeing that Ding Ming was about to gain the upper hand, a black earth mist suddenly rose around the masked man's body, a fog thinner than the tip of a needle and darker than the night, silently shrouded the eaves, and when the fog cleared, the masked man disappeared.

Governor Lin was dumbfounded below, and he asked Ding Ming: "What's going on, what the hell am I doing?" ”

Before Ding Ming could answer, Yin Tiancheng spoke, "Legend has it that Dongying has a strange martial art called ninjutsu, and I finally saw it today." ”

Ding Ming looked at him with a smile and did not speak.

"Am I not right?" Yin Tiancheng asked.

"First of all I would like to express my admiration for your erudition, and then I have to tell you regrettably, I was wrong. This is not a ninjutsu, this is the art of earth escape in Qimen Dunjia. ”

Yin Tiancheng didn't speak, he knew that Ding Ming had learned spells in Maoshan for three years when he was a teenager, and he especially respected ghosts and gods.

"I know you don't believe that people like you, who deal with cases every day, will only believe the evidence they see in front of them. Maybe one day you will be entangled by a beautiful female ghost, and your brain will be enlightened. ”

This sentence speaks to Yin Tiancheng's heart, in his opinion, everything must be evidenced, and if he pins his hopes for solving the case on the illusory ghosts and gods, he will be a little irresponsible to himself. He smiled, didn't argue with Ding Ming, and lowered himself to look at the corpse of the Goryeo.

"Did you find any clues?" Governor Lin also came over to check on the body.

"Nothing identified was found on him." Yin Tiancheng replied.

"I once checked the files of the household department, and there are more than 3,000 Koreans living in the capital, and it may take several days to verify the identity of the deceased." Ding Ming is not only high in martial arts, but also has a super memory.

Yin Tiancheng said: "Your number does not include the tourists and businessmen who came to Beijing, if you want to check them one by one, I am afraid that the identity of the deceased has not been clarified, and the murderer will run away without a trace." As he spoke, Yin Tiancheng picked up something from the sole of the deceased's shoe.

"What kind of flower do you see?" Yin Tiancheng asked. It's a green bud that has been flattened by shoes.

Governor Lin said: "In the cold winter, it should be plum blossoms." ”

"Yes, it's the green calyx." Ding Ming replied.

Yin Tiancheng asked: "Brother Ding has good eyesight, I don't know where there are green calyx plums in the capital?" ”

"Green calyx is not a native variety, and it is relatively rare in Jingshi. If I'm not mistaken, there are quite a few in the Great Yong'an Temple in Xinghua Mountain in the western suburbs. ”

"That's right, isn't there a quadripartite pavilion at the foot of Xinghua Mountain that specializes in receiving and accommodating envoys from various countries?"

"That's right, the Goryeo mission has been in Beijing for more than a month, and is waiting for Jin to see the saint." Governor Lin suddenly realized.

"Looks like I'm going to go to the Sifang Pavilion first." Yin Tiancheng said.

The three of them were chatting about the case, and Master Zhang walked in quickly, and he said to Governor Lin, "My lord, someone asks to see you." ”

"Who, won't it be the emperor who comes to Weifu for a private visit, right?" After what happened last time, Governor Lin is still a little afraid.

"It's Wang Fuling, the head of Longquan Villa."

I was about to look for you, but you came to the door first! Yin Tiancheng hurriedly asked, "What is he doing here?" ”。

Master Zhang said: "I don't know, but the two family members who followed him were carrying a large wooden box. ”

"Hehe, it turned out to be a gift. Let him wait in the inner hall, and I will come. Governor Lin said: "Tiancheng, you can come with me." ”

"Okay." Yin Tiancheng turned to Master Zhang and said, "Mr. Zhang, please arrange for two people to carry the body to the morgue and notify the Goryeo mission to do the autopsy, and you can arrange for two more people to inform the Goryeo mission." ”

"Ahh Only then did Master Zhang see the corpse on the ground, "Another murder?" ”

"This man assassinated my father-in-law, but unfortunately he was killed as soon as he was captured."

"Alas, this year has not been peaceful." Looking at Yin Tiancheng's departing back, Master Zhang let out a long sigh.
