Xie Yiying slept in a daze, vaguely felt that it seemed to be extremely cold today, and he didn't open his eyes, rolled to the heat source next to him, picked up his hands and feet, and squinted for a while as if he was hugging a big bear.

After a while, the heat source moved, Xie Yiying was disturbed, stretched out his arm from the quilt and rubbed his eyes, and heard a voice floating above his head: "Awake?" ”

"Hmm." Xie Yiying was sleepy, felt that it was strange and cold outside, and put her arms in the warm quilt, and then reacted suddenly.

stepped on the thighs of the people, rubbed his body back, and glared at Zhou Jin in surprise: "Why haven't you left yet!" ”

Zhou Jin was also lying comfortably in the quilt, wearing only a white single coat, which was the one that Xie Yiying specially sewed for him, there was a small silver snake at the neckline, and the periphery was dark green pattern, he was leaning on the bed frame to read a book, with slender fingers, beautiful muscles and bones, and elegant and leisurely movements.

At this time, Xie Yiying woke up, he lowered his head and looked at her, Xie Yiying was rarely so close to those beautiful eyes, not to mention that in such a scene, even if the eyes were as calm as water, he couldn't help but blush.

Zhou Jin didn't realize that there was something wrong with her in bed at this time, so she raised her eyebrows and didn't answer her, but said, "It's snowing outside." ”

"Huh?" Xie Yiying suddenly became excited, she and Wei Wu were drunk last night, and she didn't remember how she got back to bed in the end, let alone know that it was snowing outside the house.

Now that I heard what Zhou Jin said, I suddenly realized that it was extremely quiet outside the house today, and I could see the faint light reflected outside due to the snow through the window.

immediately lifted the quilt and wanted to go out, but before his legs could step out of the quilt, he was grabbed by Zhou Jinyi's arm.

"What are you doing!"

"Get dressed."

All morning, Qingmei had been walking around the house in a hurry, and when she heard Zhou Jin's call, she hurriedly ordered the people on the side to follow and go in together.

In the morning, the county king's mansion handed over a post to his wife, inviting her to go to the county king's mansion today to stay in the annex of Xiaonanshan for a few days.

Xie Yiying has always been late in the morning, she knows this, not to mention that it is snowing hard today, and the courtyard is silent, so it is better to sleep, if she is not called, she will probably be able to sleep until the sky is barren. If it was left in the usual place, he would have gone in to wake her up, but today he happened to catch up with His Highness to rest Mu, and he used to go to the place on duty to see, but today I don't know what happened, His Royal Highness also began to lie in bed, and there was no point in leaving.

Zhou Jin was in the house, Qingmei and the others didn't dare to go in at will, they only waited outside, although they were in a hurry, but when they thought of His Royal Highness's cold face like an iceberg, they suddenly lost the courage to enter the house. Qingmei also thinks it's so strange, how can Mrs. face such a terrifying highness, and still be happy every day?

After washing and dressing, Xie Yiying took the big pyu in Qingmei Bisi's hand, and wanted to run out, like the little pony who finally got rid of the reins and had fun, Qingmei was pouring tea for the two of them at the table, catching a glimpse of her eager appearance, and quickly put down the teacup and grabbed her.

It's so dangerous, I almost let people run away without paying attention, why are other people's wives dignified and polite, and this one of my own family is like a child who hasn't grown up?

Qingmei took out the name of the princess of Xiaojun from her sleeve and gave her a low explanation. Xie Yiying tilted her head to look at the famous post, and listened to Qingmei's finished speaking, "What are you doing on such a cold day?" ”

Zhou Jin raised his chin slightly, tied the button on his neckline, waved his hand to make people retreat, bowed his head and pulled the cuffs twice: "Enjoy the snow." The annex of the Junwangfu in Xiaonanshan is very suitable for watching the snow scene, all kinds of plum blossoms are planted in the courtyard, and there are several hot springs in the backyard, which is very suitable for this season. It is already a common practice for the county princess to invite all high-ranking female dependents to Nanshan Villa in the name of the county princess and the small county princess. ”

"Come on," Xie Yiying suddenly wilted, with such a good weather, she didn't like to spend it with people she didn't know too much.

Well...... Should and ......

While thinking, he moved his gaze to Zhou Jin next to him, Zhou Jin happened to be looking at her, the two glanced at each other, and Xie Yiying turned around as if nothing happened.

You should spend it with your own family.

Zhang Dalong is also very wilted now, he is sitting on the second floor of a small teahouse in Cangxian County, wrapped in a torn robe and looking sad.

On a cold day, he was not at home holding his beautiful daughter-in-law and making love, and was driven by his boss to this place where birds don't, and investigated the headless corpse case that no one was willing to touch.

Uncle, if you want to commit a crime, can you choose a better weather? On a snowy day, people trek through mountains and rivers, and it's only a dozen taels a month, is it easy for me? And can you kill someone well? Do you leave a whole corpse? How panicked does the corpse look?

Zhang Dalong thought back to the corpse he saw in the Hubu Shangshu's house, and his heart couldn't help but tremble again, he knew what was going on outside, those people said, this is not a case committed by ordinary people, this is a ghost asking for his life.

The common people can say this, but he can't think like this, he only knows that since there are such rumors, the case must be investigated as much as possible, otherwise it will cause panic at that time, and the matter will be irreparable. The people of the dart bureau said that the person who supported the dart was in Cangxian County, so the head sent him to Cangxian County and gave the master of the dart bureau a portrait of the man who drew it.

At this time, the portrait was hidden in his arms, and the person on the portrait had slender eyes, a large nose, and a mole in the corner of the left eye, which was quite ugly and easy to recognize.

Zhang Dalong raised his head and drank the hot wine in the bowl, although this teahouse is broken, but it is located in the center of this county, he has been sitting here for an hour, but he did not see the person on the portrait, he is going to go to the alley to check, he is experienced in finding people, and knows where those snakes, insects, rats and ants like to hide.

At this time, there was a sudden shout from downstairs, and the noise gradually came into the building, as if someone had poured boiling water into it, the whole room was boiling, and there were chaotic footsteps on the wooden floor, and someone ran to the window and leaned out of his upper body to look out. Zhang Dalong was sitting by the window, sensing the restless atmosphere, and picked up the long knife placed on the table.

A crowd of people had gathered downstairs, pointing to something floating on the river, some shouting and throwing it away, and some falling to the ground in fright. Zhang Dalong squinted his eyes and looked at the river, his gaze was like a torch, and he could see what was floating on it.

Is that...... A corpse.

The corpses floated up and down the river, and the clothes on them were soaked and tattered.

No head.

The sound of a broken teacup suddenly sounded behind him, Zhang Dalong pulled out the long knife in shock, and turned around suddenly, only to see a trembling old woman.

With a silver head full of silver hair, one eye covered with a layer of white puffs, probably overfrightened, and her wrinkled hands were shaking, she kept staring at the corpse on the river, not noticing Zhang Dalong's gaze.

The voice squeezed out of his throat, as low as being torn: "This is the revenge of the wronged ghost...... Do evil...... No wonder others ......"

I don't know where it came from, a cloud blocked the sun, the room suddenly darkened, Zhang Dalong suddenly shivered, he turned his head to look at the river, there seemed to be some kind of ghost resentment lurking on the floating corpse was waiting for an opportunity to harm people.

He clenched the long knife in his hand out of fear, thought for a moment, he gritted his teeth viciously, put his thumb on the handle of the knife, the knife was unsheathed for a moment, the silver light flashed, and he put the long knife against the old woman's neck: "Say! You know something! ”

The old woman didn't seem to have possessed her body, and she was not afraid of the sharp knife around her neck, she still looked at the river and muttered something to herself, and after a while, she slowly turned her head and stared at Zhang Dalong.

Zhang Dalong was furious by her eyes, and then heard her low, curse-like voice: "You will die too." ”
