"Oh? What meat? Xia Qingxiao asked with him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Uncle Liu smiled, and his cloudy eyes revealed an indescribable dark light, like a cold snake looking at Xia Qingxiao, "Want to know?" ”

"I'm curious." Xia Qingxiao nodded, the smile in his eyes narrowed slightly.

"You'll find out soon." Suddenly, his voice was very low, and he pulled an axe from his cuff.

It's also rusty, but the blade is sharper than the middle-aged one.

When Xia Qingxiao saw the axe, he was already completely sure that the amiable and amiable Uncle Liu in front of him was the murderous maniac who made all women tremble these days! The deeper it was at night, the more difficult it was for him to control his violent temperament.

An axe was raised high.

The blade was cold in the moonlight.

However, instead of being cut down as smoothly as the previous nights, the axe was bounced off in mid-air by a hidden weapon, and finally landed on the ground with a heavy sound.

Xia Qingxiao looked at Uncle Liu, who was controlled by the secret guards, saw the burning killing light in his eyes, and said coldly: "Since you are so confident in the meat filling of the buns, then you might as well go to Dali Temple and talk to Lord Jiao, I believe that Lord Jiao wants to know more than I do, how you used that axe to wander those deserted streets in the middle of the night, and complete your goals one after another." ”

An hour later.

The official gate of Dali Temple opened with two squeaks.

Two murderers have been caught!

On a seemingly very calm night, caught by a seemingly delicate woman!

After a whole night of interrogation, the two murderers were still quibbling at first, and slowly couldn't resist explaining why they committed the crime and why they committed the crime with such cruel means!

The middle-aged man was often ridiculed by people for his dirty and menial work, who hated him for the smell of his body, accusing him of accidentally spilling the night incense, spitting at him, and even beating him. Later, he met Uncle Liu, who gave him a bun, a soft and tender bun.

From then on, as long as he had troubles, he would go to Uncle Liu, and the two men were full of hatred for those women in the dark night.

Uncle Liu's wife ran away with someone, and his daughter eloped with someone when she grew up, and since then she has lost all hope in life.

One day, the two of them walked down the deserted street in the middle of the night, pointed to the sky and complained about its injustice, and stumbled upon a man and a woman who were in the alley, and when the two of them separated, they walked over with a heart and knocked out the shameless woman......

The second time he used the same method to kill another woman who had met with the man in private.

Later, the two were not satisfied with this, and began to take the initiative to find targets, those who once disliked the dirtiness of middle-aged men, those women who looked as delicate as flowers, every time they killed a person and tortured a person, they would never have happiness.

If they hadn't been caught tonight, they would still have been arrogant and even more brutal in their efforts to kill innocent people one after another.

In the end, Uncle Liu confessed that the steamed bun meat filling in the month after his daughter eloped with someone was not pork, nor beef, but rat meat that haunts dark places all year round. Inevitably caused the people to be nauseous and vomit because of this, Lord Jiao decided not to announce this matter to the people.

Xia Qingxiao breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that it was rat meat and not human flesh, it seemed that although the two of them were perverted, they were not perverted enough to use human flesh to make steamed buns.

At dawn, the panic that had enveloped the capital for more than half a month finally disappeared with the moment the sun rose.

Lord Jiao was once again praised by the people, rewarded by the emperor, and celebrated by his colleagues. After this case, Lord Jiao trusted Xia Weixing even more, of course, he treated Xia Qingxiao more differently, and kept shaking his head and sighing, but he was a woman, if it wasn't for a woman, he would definitely be caught quickly.

Through Xia Qingxiao's insistence, Lord Jiao did not inform the emperor and the people that Xia Qingxiao had solved the case.

Master Jiao asked Xia Qingxiao why, and Xia Qingxiao replied with a smile: "I don't want to be too eye-catching." ”

Later, Master Jiao gave Xia Weixing a full hundred taels of silver as a reward, Xia Weixing held a hundred taels of silver at home for a whole day and couldn't smile from ear to ear, and kept saying to Zhao, we have a good daughter, you gave birth to a good daughter for me!

Although this case was solved by Xia Qingxiao and few people knew about it, Han Baimo knew about it at the first time.

That night, he stood in front of the window for a long time without speaking.

Late the next night.

Xia Qingxiao slept sweetly, as if she felt that someone was in the room, I don't know if it was a dream, she still opened her eyes and looked at people.

The figure is familiar.

It's real.

Not a dream.

Suddenly I thought that there was a person who liked to come to her in the middle of the night, and I woke up suddenly.

"You, you, you......" Why is it here again?

Han Baimo seemed to be familiar with her room, and sat down on the table without candlelight, and poured herself tea leisurely.

"The tea is cold." Xia Qingxiao sighed secretly, he had returned to the capital, and he would inevitably have to face him. But I don't know why I have a headache and avoid him whenever I think about him, so I really don't know how to face him now.

In fact, she couldn't understand why he would show such interest and possessiveness to her.

No one knew better than she that there were mountains and rivers between her and him that could not be crossed. All in all, they are not suitable.

"How did you come up with the idea of luring the enemy with your body?" Han Baimo raised his unfathomable black eyes to look at her, and asked in a slightly cold voice.

Xia Qingxiao paused for a moment, and then thought of what he meant by luring the enemy with his body, and wondered if he came to see her in the middle of the night to ask this question? It's very simple, "because we want to catch the murderer." Seeing the murderer in front of me, I must catch him. ”

Han Baimo put down the teacup and walked towards her, and under Xia Qingxiao's stunned gaze, he lifted her chin.

When Xia Qingxiao thought that he would come to kiss her hard, he just stared at her eyes flashing with panic and said in an unresistible commanding tone: "Don't risk yourself again in the future." ”

Xia Qingxiao was completely stunned, was he worried about her safety? Half-lowered his eyes to avoid his gaze, he nodded a little flusteredly, "Hmm." ”

Fortunately, he quickly let go of her again, and then walked to the window, standing with his hands behind his back.

I don't know why, his back always reveals a feeling of desolation and loneliness.

She coughed lightly, and the atmosphere that suddenly calmed down was a little depressing, she didn't like the atmosphere that was too depressing, and after two laughs awkwardly, she said: "That ......" After saying two words, she suddenly found that she didn't know what to say.

He turned to look at her.

Slammed into his sight.

A gaze that could not be described in words, just a collision of glances, as if he was about to accidentally fall into the unfathomable abyss in his eyes.

"It's not early. King Yan might as well go back and rest. Xia Qingxiao quickly retracted his gaze and looked out the window.

As soon as her words fell, his body froze, and his dark eyes stared at her for a long time.

Xia Qingxiao panicked for a while, and turned his head sideways to avoid his gaze, but he didn't know what to say again.

Time seems to be frozen and motionless.

It was as if my thoughts were frozen.

Suddenly, he walked over and stood in front of her, only half a step away from each other.

He pulled her into his arms and hugged her so tightly that she couldn't move.

Xia Qingxiao was stunned, he was ......

He just trapped her in his arms and gently stroked her hair.

I don't know how long it took, I seemed to hear a sigh from him, very light, and the light Xia Qingxiao thought that he had heard it wrong.

After that very soft sigh, he let go of her and whispered, "Go back to sleep." ”

Xia Qingxiao nodded in a daze, "Okay." ”

Looking at his thin back, thinking of the situation he was going to face today, she suddenly felt that in fact, he was also a poor man, he was put on a high position, and if he left, he would die, but it was dangerous to stick to it. Perhaps, he also hopes to be an ordinary person, a simple life that needs to be cultivated at dawn and can fall asleep after dark.

However, that was just a wish. He will never be a farmer, and she will never be the daughter of a large family that does everything perfectly.

……

Following.

Xia Qingxiao was looking at a book with melon seeds in the yard, and Zhao was busy in the kitchen, saying that he was going to cook a table of dishes for her and reward her for solving the case. Siwen cleaned the yard. She listened to the movement from the kitchen around her and the sound of Siwen sweeping the yard, and her heart was surprisingly calm, and she was more able to concentrate on reading.

"Miss, now the women in the capital dare to go out, and I really didn't see a woman on the street two days ago! It's all thanks to the young lady! It's just a pity that no one knows that this case was solved by Miss, and I don't understand until now, why didn't Miss tell the public that you broke the case! Siwen said with some regret, how many people love fame and fortune, but Miss doesn't pay attention to it.

"There must be a demon when things happen, how many people will believe it if I tell the world that I solved the case? More people will take this opportunity to question and insist that the murderer is not the murderer, and I just want to be famous. Why bother with some unnecessary trouble. Didn't Master Jiao reward my father with silver? That's enough. Xia Qingxiao left the book and looked at Siwen, and explained earnestly.

In a world where men are inferior to women, this is an inevitable encounter.

Of course, there is another important point.

That is, it is pure luck that she was able to solve the case this time, and it is only right to accept it when she sees it! stole the limelight from Master Jiao, how will my father do things under Lord Jiao's hands in the future? Can she still read books as freely as she does now?

The answer is no! No way!

"So that's the case, or the young lady is thoughtful." Siwen suddenly realized.

Xia Qingxiao suddenly thought of something and glanced at the room, "Is Xiaobao still sleeping?" ”

"yes, I basically didn't sleep after I had a nightmare last night, and I didn't fall asleep until dawn, which is so pitiful. I don't know when it will get better. Siwen sighed.

"Time is the best healing medicine, and it will get better after a while." Xia Qingxiao said thoughtfully. For Xiaobao, losing his mother is equivalent to losing the whole world, and such a blow is not something that others can experience. The mother has decided to take in Xiaobao, and it just so happens that the mother and father have no sons, so they treat Xiaobao as their own child.

Bang bang bang......

Three knocks on the door.

Siwen put down the broom and asked, "Who?" ”

"I'm Yunmo, light Xiao can be?" The man's deep, gentle voice came in from outside the door.

Hearing this, Xia Qingxiao raised his head. Yunmo? How did he know she lived here?

Siwen looked at Xia Qingxiao, "Miss, it should be Yunmo Gongzi." ”

"Well, I'll go open the door." Xia Qingxiao put down the book, walked over and opened the door.

The moment the door opened, I saw Yunmo standing in front of me.

I haven't seen each other for a few months, they don't seem to have changed, Yunmo is still as warm as jade, and she is still the casual Xia Qingxiao when she was in the Xia family.

"Come in for a cup of tea?" Xia Qingxiao asked with a smile. Didn't ask him too much why he knew she lived here, and why he came to him.

Yunmo's black eyes moved slightly, and he smiled and nodded: "Okay." ”

But for a moment, the fragrance of tea overflowed.

"When did you come back?" Yunmo asked softly.

"It's been over a month and I didn't say goodbye to you when I left, sorry. Tea instead of wine! Xia Qingxiao raised his glass and gestured, then raised his head and drank the whole cup of tea.

Yunmo saw that she was talking so naturally with tea instead of wine, and smiled helplessly, "Okay." ”

"Recently, I heard that you are going to get married, congratulations!" Xia Qingxiao raised the teacup again, if it weren't for the presence of Niang and Siwen at home, she would have said that she would drink everything, and it would indeed be too perfunctory to replace wine with tea.

If it weren't for the fact that there were a few cases these days, and everyone was talking about the murderer and the victim, probably now the news that Yunmo and Yongle were about to get engaged would be discussed by everyone. But today, I heard a lot of people talk about this matter, and she still heard what Siwen said.

Yongle is the sister of Yongsheng, I heard that she is a delicate and beautiful little beauty, and Yunmo and Yunmo are a match made in heaven, which is also the second commendable and enviable family affair after Han Baimo and Su Qi gave marriage!

The sunlight reflected in Yunmo's quiet and deep dark eyes through the leafy trees, and he lowered his eyes and buried his head in the teacup, chuckling, "It's still undecided." ”

"Huh? Still undecided? Is that a rumor out there? "Xia Qingxiao was surprised, are the rumors so beneficial now? It's just like the real thing.

"The two are negotiating." Yunmo then said, his black eyes staring at Xia Qingxiao silently.

Xia Qingxiao blinked, "It's not a rumor, I just said that it can't be groundless." Come, I wish you and Miss Yong a long and loving life! She raised her glass again and poured down a sip of tea. In fact, the mouth was a little dry just now, and it was rude to drink tea in front of people, so I always had to find a reason.

Yunmo didn't drink this cup of tea, but smiled and said, "I know that you like to read, so I bought a few books by the way when I came." As the words fell, he opened a small package beside him, which contained six books neatly in it.

And it's all hardcover, and it's expensive at first glance! It should be from Yongjia Bookstore.

"I can't take these books, they're too expensive. It's from Yongjia Bookstore, right? Their books are staggeringly expensive. I received my heart, but I really can't accept the book. Xia Qingxiao pushed it over, and the food sent over couldn't be rejected hypocritically, but these books ...... I can't accept it because of its preciousness.

Fortunately, Yunmo didn't push it back, but said with a smile: "Okay, next time I'll bring you a few books that I've read that happen to be idle." ”

"Good! Deal! Xia Qingxiao nodded immediately.

The two chatted for a while, Zhao had already made lunch, and when he came out, he was a little surprised to see Yunmo, but he still politely invited Yunmo to stay and have lunch together.

Yunmo refused to leave.

Xia Qingxiao sent Yunmo out.

In front of the door, Xia Qingxiao smiled and said, "Go slowly." ”

"See you another day." Yunmo lowered his eyes and glanced at her deeply without a trace, and then nodded.

Just walked out a few steps, suddenly he stopped again, turned to look at Xia Qingxiao, and said in a slightly deep tone: "If you leave next time, can you tell me first?" ”

Hearing this, Xia Qingxiao's eyes moved slightly, and then the corners of his mouth hooked, and he nodded: "Okay!" I'll be sure to tell you if I'm still leaving. But I don't like the scene of saying goodbye the most, it's too hypocritical, and I'll send you a letter when the time comes. ”

"Okay."

Xia Qingxiao closed the door again.

After she had just closed the door, Xia Chujun walked over, stood not far in front of the door and looked at Yunmo, who had already gotten into the carriage and was about to leave, pursed her lips slightly, retracted her gaze and then looked at the closed door.

Unexpectedly, Yunmo has already been found.

Two days ago, when she was going to come to find out, the murderer who had shocked the entire capital was caught, and almost everyone in the capital went to see the murderer, so she dismissed the idea of coming to investigate.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I came, I saw Yunmo.

In the near future, Yunmo will marry Yongle and the two, maybe she can use this incident to see Yongle again, and through Yongle she can complete what she wants faster. After all, she is now more and more unsure of how to take the next step, and because of Xia Qingxiao's return, her mind is even more confused, and the prophecy that the master has said keeps disturbing her thoughts.

Leaving and returning, is Xia Qingxiao really a stumbling block on her way?

Looking at the closed door in front of her, she just wanted to knock on the door, but stopped again, there seemed to be no reason to see Xia Qingxiao.

Although her heart was full of doubts and she wanted to ask clearly, she knew better than anyone that Xia Qingxiao would definitely not solve her doubts.

"Xia Qingxiao, why did you come back? Why the ghosts? She muttered to herself with a cold gaze.

There is always a thought in my heart, when King Mo is ill and is closed to the door, does it have anything to do with Xia Qingxiao? The two are too much of a coincidence, not long after Xia Qingxiao left the capital, King Mo became ill, and more than a month ago, King Mo suddenly got better, and Xia Qingxiao also returned to the capital at that time, Xia Weixing became the master of Lord Jiao.

How could a person without the support of the family become the position of the master of Dali Temple that many people are vying for?

All kinds of signs show that Xia Qingxiao and King Mo have some kind of relationship or connection that others don't know.

Suddenly, the door that had just been closed opened again.

Xia Chujun's body stiffened and looked at the person who opened the door.
