Bai Mu arranged the demon girl to the deepest cell in Luoyang Prison, which was usually where death row prisoners were held, but during the Zhenguan period, there were very few death row prisoners, and the demon girl became the only prisoner here. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Take off her hood!"

Everyone saw her young and beautiful face, and no one spoke.

The demon girl just stared at the ground blankly, crying silently, and the pitiful appearance would only make people feel that she had been wronged.

"Hmph, take care of her, don't go any way!"

"Yes!" The jailers replied in unison.

Bai Mu returned to the hall of his office in a relaxed mood, but found two men in ordinary linen clothes standing in the room, who had been in the officialdom for many years, Bai Mu's eyesight was not bad, and the momentum of one of them was obviously only available to people in high positions, which made him restrain the scolding that was about to be exported.

The two turned around, and when Bai Mu saw it, he hurriedly saluted.

"Yin Baimu of Luoyang Mansion, I have seen King Lu."

"This is the emperor's secret edict, see for yourself."

The guards of the king of Lu did not speak, and handed over an edict with both hands.

Bai Mu respectfully accepted the secret edict and read it carefully.

"I have come to deal with the affairs of this demon girl by the holy decree of the imperial brother."

"The lower official understands and must do his best to cooperate."

"Very good, you go and call Duan Weize, Jiang Jian and Li Chen over, I have some things to verify with them, and I must not leak my affairs."

"Yes, the next official will go back when he goes."

Bai Mu took the three of them to the hall, and after the three of them saluted, they also read the secret edict.

King Lu was looking at the three of them.

"Duan Weize, what did that demon girl say to you in He Mansion this morning, and then she was willing to be arrested?"

"Back to King Lu, she is just complaining to the last general, saying that she is not a demon girl, and those previous events have nothing to do with her, she just came... Look at me, and then surrender. ”

"Haha, the demon girl's lies are nothing more than that, but they are still aware of current affairs, and we have to repay them, Bai Mu, your people must not abuse her, let alone use punishment."

"Xia Guan understands."

"Jiang Jian, you have been observing the inn in the shop outside these nights, have you seen when the demon girl came?

And before the witch appeared, did you notice how last night was different? ”

Jiang Jian thought about it.

"The inn seemed to be unusually quiet last night, although I didn't relax, but until Li Chen warned me, I really didn't find the demon girl."

King Lu nodded.

"This demon girl's preparation is really sufficient, if I expected it to be correct, I'm afraid that the food or water in the inn was drugged last night, and all the guests staying in the inn slept soundly.

And the enchantress must have infiltrated the inn before dark. ”

Hearing King Lu's inference, the other three looked at each other.

"Li Chen, how did you find the demon girl?"

"Back to King Lu, I slept until midnight, felt the real qi in my body stirred, and woke up. I also smelled a strange fragrance, so I called Brother Duan, but he didn't reply, so I went to push open the door of the inner bedroom, and as soon as I opened the door, the demon girl attacked me, but it didn't hurt me, I quickly shouted out, and she broke the window and ran away. ”

"I heard that you practiced the true qi of the Buddhist family?"

"Yes."

"Let me take the pulse"

"Oh."

“…… It's good that you're here, otherwise our little brother Duan might be cheaper than that demon girl. ”

Everyone laughed, except for Duan Weize.

"Bai Mu."

"The lower official is here."

"Immediately arrange for someone to investigate the inn's water and food to see if anything can be found."

"Yes, the lower official will arrange it immediately."

After Bai Mu went out, King Lu looked at the three of them again.

"You've done a great job this time, it's been hard these days.

Qianniuwei is now temporarily dispatched by me, but now that the task has been completed, you can have a good time in Luoyang in the next two days, and this king will be responsible for all expenses. ”

"Thank you, King Lu." Jiang Jianxing saluted.

Duan Weize rejected King Lu.

"The last general has been playing in Luoyang all these days, it's really not hard, can you allow the last general to stay in Luoyang Mansion for these two days to help take care of the suspect?"

"Hehe, it's fine."

"There is another thing to ask King Lu for approval, Li Chenjing is recommended by Master Buli, you can go to the Jingnian Zen Temple to learn Buddhist exercises, he can't wait for a long time."

"Oh? It's your ability to get the favor of the master, so go as soon as possible. ”

"Thank you, King Lu." Li Chen hurriedly saluted.

Bai Mu hurried back.

"Back to King Lu, I have arranged for a catcher to go to the inn to investigate the food and water sources, but there is also a catcher who has brought new news, saying that about half an hour after the incident, a guy who got up early in the store was knocked unconscious in the kitchen in the backyard.

Xia Guan doubts, could this person be an accomplice of the demon girl? ”

"Hehe, it must be. My people saw her and deliberately let her go, and I'm sure you understand why. ”

“… Xia Guan understood. ”

“… The end will understand. ”

"Okay, next little brother Duan will stay in Luoyang Mansion to help take care of the demon girl, since she is willing to talk to you, you might as well take the time to talk to her and confirm our inference."

"Yes."

"Bai Mu, if you come to arrange the matter of Little Brother Duan, don't send other people, and don't do any interrogation, if someone asks, just wait for Chang'an's reply."

"Yes."

"Li Chen, you can leave for the Jingnian Zen Academy, Jiang Jian, you take the other Qianniuwei to relax for two days, this is the task."

"Yes!"

"About this matter, you are not allowed to reveal it to anyone, if anyone asks, it is said that the female thief found Brother Duan last night, and was finally forced into the He Mansion by Brother Duan, and after alarming the official mansion, they confronted until dawn, and finally the demon girl was taken down by Brother Duan."

"Understood."

"I can't reveal what happened to me in Luoyang, if there is anything, I will come to you.

Just follow what I just arranged, and return to Chang'an to be rewarded for meritorious deeds! ”

King Lu smiled confidently.

"The subordinate obeys orders!"

"The last general obeys!"

Out of the hall, Duan Weize unconsciously wandered aimlessly in Luoyang Mansion.

And a question has been in my heart for a long time: Did Ling Yin lie about her?

'I just want to double cultivate with you. ’

This sentence was mixed with the memory of last night, and the vacant face of the other party in the memory was also completed after seeing Ling Yin.

'Really with her last night...... Double Cultivation? ’

She really didn't do those things before? But someone else? Her accomplices? ’

But facts are not something that can be obtained by thinking about it.

Duan Weize didn't have a father and mother when he was young, he was sent to the Guanzhong Sword School by his uncle, where he grew up and learned martial arts, although he reached the age of marriage, he never came into contact with any girl, when he saw Yu Wenyi for the first time, he was attracted by her beauty, and he has been secretly in love with her since then.

And today he was confessed by a woman for the first time, but in such a direct way.

came to the door of the prison in the backyard of Luoyang Mansion, and wanted to ask her again.

There were three doors at the door of the prison, and it was obvious that Bai Mu had made arrangements, and the jailer guarding the door was ready to open the door when he saw him.

"Brother Duan, do you want to come in and have a look?"

"Yes, I want to ask the suspect a few words."

"Oh, it's hard work, this is an oil lamp, it's darker inside, Brother Duan be careful of your step."

"Thank you."

While the two were talking, Duan Weize took out a small ingot of silver and handed it to the jailer who opened the door.

The two jailers patrolled inside, greeted Duan Weize, and walked into the room where the jailers were resting in the big cell.

Duan Weize came to the innermost cell, Ling Yin leaned against the side of the cell door, curled up on the ground, heard footsteps, glanced back at Duan Weize, and turned around again.

Looking at Ling Yin's beautiful back, Duan Weize didn't know what he could ask, and looked at it blankly for a long time.

"You really just want to double cultivate with me?"

“… Do you think I'm frivolous? This is the case with people in my Holy Companion, if I like someone, I will ask for double cultivation with him. ”

“… But you didn't ask me, but directly..."

“… Knowing that you won't agree... I don't ask..."

“… How many people have you double-practiced with? ”

"Why do you want to know this?"

“……”

“… Three, count you in. ”

Duan Weize didn't know what to say.

"Is it a lot? You men often have three wives and four concubines, let alone go to the Qinglou. ”

“… Much less than I guessed. ”

“… I know you won't believe it... I actually hope... You're the last one. ”

Duan Weize was silent again, his heartbeat accelerated and increased inexplicably, and he didn't know what to say at this time.

I had to ask only one other question.

"Is there another person who came to the inn with you?"

“… Yes. ”

"Who?"

"I can't tell you."

"When did you get here?"

“... Before dark. ”

“… You poisoned your food? ”

"It's just a very light amount of drug, which can make people sleep more soundly."

"Why?"

“… I don't want the two of us to be bothered... But still..."

Duan Weize's mind was blank, and he was powerless to think.

"I hope your fellow disciples will behave for themselves and not end up with you."

Ling Yin looked back at Duan Weize, her eyes full of grievance.

Duan Weize turned around and left, unable to think calmly when facing herself, what was wrong?

Duan Weize returned to the mansion and found that it was very lively, and many people came.

And some of the children of the martial arts family, a few Duan Weize had just made friends a few days ago, and they came up to congratulate them.

"Congratulations to Brother Duan for catching the demon girl, but it is for our Luoyang to get rid of a harm!"

These compliments continued, and Duan Weize could only smile numbly.

At lunchtime, he was dragged to the restaurant by these people, but the food tasted the same as chewing wax, and others also saw his situation and made fun of him.

"Brother Duan, is he missing Miss Yuwen?"

"That's for sure, do you even need to ask?"

"I saw her and Liu Jing shopping together in the morning."

"So that's the case, let's go to Liu Jing in the afternoon and let her be returned to Brother Duan by Miss Yuwen."

"Haha, okay, that's it."

But at this time, Duan Weize felt that Yu Wenyi's lukewarm treatment had become another reason why he didn't want to see her.

"This time Duan accidentally met a demon girl in Luoyang, so she was naturally arrested, Lord Bai still needs Duan to stay in the mansion for a few days, cooperate with the investigation, I'm afraid I don't have time to play, so I asked Miss Liu to accompany Yu Wenyi to have a good time, if you are interested, you can go and have a good time, Yu Wenyi She likes to be lively, and she will not refuse everyone to join, but Duan can't go."

"Oh, did you run into it by accident? Brother Duan, can you tell us what happened last night? ”

This question quieted everyone down, and Duan Weize finally understood the meaning of these people.

King Lu had already given orders, and Duan Weize could only do it.

After lunch, Duan Weize returned to the mansion, he didn't know how he spent the afternoon, when night came, Duan Weize turned down the invitation to other people's dinner and stayed in the guest room of the mansion, wanting to go to bed earlier, but what came was the tossing and turning of sleeplessness, and only Ling Yin was hovering in his heart.

On the third watch, Duan Weize finally fell asleep in a daze.

On the fifth watch, he was woken up in a hurry by a jailer.

"Brother Duan~Brother Duan~Wake up~"

"Huh? What's up? Duan Weize got up and opened the door.

"Brother Duan, please come to the prison and take a look, that demon girl ~ seems to be dead ~"

Duan Weize didn't even get dressed properly, so he rushed to the prison, and when he saw the anxious faces of the jailers, his heart was already sinking.

Before Ling Yin's cell, she was still sitting on the side of the cell door as she had done yesterday, her head resting on the side wall of the cell, her right hand lying weakly beside her.

Duan Weize put his hand in and checked Ling Yin's pulse, and all that came was a quiet coldness.

To come...
