Chapter 278: The Emperor's Key

The crowd burst into applause even more unscrupulously at this time, Xiong Bainian saw that the situation was not beneficial to him, snorted coldly, threw back the eighty silver bills, and led the people to leave. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"There is talent and learning, and there is also a heart for justice." Gong Ye and Bao Nanhai whispered, "This son is good, but I can order local officials to pay more attention." ”

Bao Nanhai should go down, but saw that the crowd gradually dispersed back to the grange, and the Xuan brothers and the two teenagers of the harsh winter and the harsh summer all walked back.

Xuan Lie said: "Master, there is a farmhouse inn in that Zhuangzi, if the master doesn't like to enter the city, can he enter this Zhuangzi for a while?" ”

He has been guarding the palace since Gong Ye ascended the throne, and he knows his preferences.

Gong Ye saw the twilight sunset, and said, "It's okay." ”

The group went to the Grange to stay overnight. The old man's family and Han Junyan also live in Zhuangshang.

It was night, Gong Ye and the others all rested, Qing Huan felt bored, so he walked out of Zhuangzi, and the outline of the city in the distance loomed in the starry night. She squatted on the ridge of the field, reached out and stroked the blades of grass twice, and suddenly a very strange feeling suddenly came behind her.

Qing Huan turned his head and saw Xue Jingxi's face at once, however, this was naturally flawless.

Qing Huan stood up, but listened to Yue Wuflawless and said gently: "Are you in a bad mood?" ”

As soon as she heard his tone, she felt her scalp tingle, and she took half a step back and said coldly: "Are you in a good mood?" ”

"Of course." Yue Wufang moved the corner of her lower lip slightly.

Qing Huan snorted coldly, passed him and went to the village, took two steps but unwillingly stopped, turned around and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Even though she knew that there could be no answer, she was just unwilling to be a headless fly.

Yue Wufang approached her, his fingers climbed on her shoulder, and his tone was ambiguous, "Of course, do what I want to do." ”

Qing Huan ignored him, and the two returned to Zhuangzi one after the other.

When passing by a farmhouse courtyard, Qing Huan suddenly stopped, because there was a very strange sound from inside the house. Some were like crying, and some were like the woman's groans of great pain. Although the voice was suppressed and not very loud, it was very clear when I listened closely.

"Does it sound good?" Yue Wufang said in her ear, with a three-point joke on her lips.

Qing Huan suddenly understood what the sound was, his red cheeks glared at Yue Wufang fiercely, and he left quickly.

Back in the inn room, Xue Jingxi hadn't slept yet. In the past few days, the two have been sleeping in the same room, and he has always been courteous, always moving screens and other things to cover the room, separating the two beds. Both of them also slept in clothes.

Qing Huan poured himself a glass of water and looked out the window. From there, she could see the courtyard of the farmhouse she was passing by.

Xue Jingxi followed her line of sight and said, "I heard Xuan Ling say that Old Man Mao's family is extremely pitiful, and his son and daughter-in-law followed Langzhong in the city to go up the mountain to collect medicine, but they both fell into the canyon, so they lost this small amount of money and bought real estate. ”

"There, is it really their house?" Qing Huan almost spilled the water in the cup. When they entered the Zhuangzi, she seemed to have heard someone mention it, but because she didn't pay attention, she was not sure.

"yes, what's wrong?"

A look of struggle and hesitation flashed on Qing Huan's face, "Their family, is it just that little girl and a woman...... She should not be married, right? ”

"Why are you asking this?" Xue Jingxi was even more inexplicable.

Qing Huan became a little anxious, "When I was passing by just now, I heard some strange noises, and something seemed to be a little wrong. ”

Xue Jingxi didn't understand yet, "What voice did you hear?" ”

Qing Huan didn't want to explain to him, but he saw several black shadows rushing in and out of the farmhouse under the moonlight. This time, needless to say, I also know that something must have happened to the old man's family.

Qing Huan pulled Xue Jingxi, and the two jumped out of the window directly. It just so happened that in the next room, Xuan Lie and Xuan Ling had not yet stopped, and when they saw him jumping out of the window, they also followed. The four of them went to the old man's house.

As soon as Fang approached, he could hear the voices of the two of them, and they all knew the voice of one of them, it was the Xiong Bainian who couldn't be deceived during the day!

Xuan Ling directly crossed the bamboo fence into the courtyard, and saw those black shadows suddenly pass through the back door, and disappeared into the night. The four of them didn't have time to catch up, so they went directly into the house to inspect. But seeing that the door was half-hidden, as soon as Fang pushed the door, it was extremely pungent and bloody!

Qing Huan covered her eyes and turned around, almost crashing into Xue Jingxi's arms.

Xue Jingxi pulled her outside the room, and her breathing was also short.

What a shocking scene in the room!

There were actually four corpses lying in a pool of blood, and they were the three members of the Mao family and the scholar who was quite appreciated by Gong Ye, Han Junyan. Old man Mao and his grandson fell near the door, and the bodies of Han Junyan and the girl were all ****, lying in the room. The body is full of swords and axes!

The small farmhouse courtyard was soon surrounded by farmers who came from all over the grange, and someone went to report it to the city officials overnight. Gong Ye listened to Xuan Ling's reply from the four people, and his face turned white with anger. At this time, Fang heard that Xiong Bainian deceived his neighbors on weekdays, and he was quite strong, and this trip was the first time he was deflated, and he was afraid that he would kill chickens and monkeys and deter the township.

The city quickly sent people, and the four of Qing Huan as witnesses also went with those officials. But the other party only came forward to serve three or two officials, and asked a few words hastily, and then let them leave.

When the four of them returned to the grange, it was still dawn, but they saw that the farmhouse where the bloody crime had occurred had been sealed and the bodies had been taken away. In front of the inn, the moon stood flawlessly. When Qing Huan looked at him, there was even a hint of sarcasm on his lips.

Qing Huan was furious all of a sudden, when she passed by the courtyard for the first time, Yue Wufang was with her, with his ability, how could he not know the changes that had occurred across the wall!

Qing Huan stared at Yue Wufang, and his body stiffened for a long time before he could move his steps again.

Gong Ye didn't sleep all night, he was already sick, and his face became even haggard. As soon as the sky dawned, he asked Xuan Lie and Xuan Ling to go out to inquire about the news, but on the other hand, they were worried about the affairs of Cangxi.

The Xuan brothers came back very quickly, and both of them looked extremely unkind.

"Master, the case of Old Man Mao's family has been closed." Xuan Lie said.

"Oh? So fast? ”

Qing Huan and the others were also thinking that the officials here were so efficient.

But he heard Xuan Ling say: "What they sentenced was that Han Junyan coerced Entu to report and stayed at Mao's house." While the Mao family was asleep, they carried out **** on that Mao Nier, but they were discovered by the grandfather and grandson, and the two sides fought, and they died together! The whole case didn't mention the Xiong Bonian at all! ”

But when he heard the sound of porcelain cracking, it was Gong Ye who crushed the cup in his hand, and the blood flowed in his palm for a while.

Zhong Qiu hurriedly took the medicine box and wanted to bandage him. Gong Ye reached out for the seal. A blink of gold fell from the center of his brow to his fingertips, and when the light dissipated, a metal object in the shape of a cross appeared.

Gong Ye handed this thing to Yue Wuflawless and said: "Jingxi, you go back to Xinghui first, I will stay here, and see how they are a little city guard, a centurion, how to cover the sky with one hand and take care of people's lives!" ”
