Chapter 56: Unwarranted Fear
On the bluestone street, a small pebble was repeatedly kicked by Zhao Xiaoba, left and right, and it looked very interested.
Looking at Zhao Xiaoba who was flashing left and right in front of him, Zhu Xishi always looked at him with a slight smile, an adult looks like a child, and sometimes feels that this man is really indefinite.
"Zhao Xiaoba, can you really receive the news today?"
Thinking of his previous promise, Zhu Xishi couldn't help but increase his suspicions a little and confirmed to him again.
"Hmm."
A big foot, the small pebble under his feet was suddenly kicked far away by Zhao Xiaoba, and suddenly he turned his head a little unhappily and said to Zhu Xishi, who was walking slowly behind him.
"You're too suspicious! Rest assured, the person listening to the news is already on his way back and will soon know where the other party is coming from. ”
"Ask casually, don't pull this face, I didn't say I didn't believe you. It's just that I didn't know the news for a moment in my heart, and I couldn't be at peace for a moment. ”
Squinted his eyes and looked at Zhu Xishi seriously, the apprehension on his face seemed to be a little worse, Zhao Xiaoba raised his eyebrows, and immediately asked rhetorically.
"Are you scared?"
"Can you not be afraid?" Zhu Xishi said her heart frankly, and now there is a knife hanging over her head, so how can she come down with peace of mind? couldn't help sighing, and said to Zhao Xiaoba: "Inexplicably being targeted by a life-seeking ghost, who wants to?" We, the common people, just want to live in peace, but we are still disturbed by these wicked people. ”
Zhu Xishi suddenly exposed his little people's psychology, which caused Zhao Xiaoba to laugh at him.
"I didn't have a strong sense of justice before, and I had to assist the government to solve the case, but now I shrank my head tightly, for fear that I would be stabbed if I stretched out my head. Woman, capricious. ”
"You said I'm a woman, shouldn't I be afraid? While punishing evil and eliminating adultery, we must also know how to spare our lives, you know? ”
When he looked at Zhu Xi who was side by side with him with a smile, Zhao Xiaoba put his hand on her shoulder boldly, and said it seriously in three points.
"Ah. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, there is no need to live so worried, if you are in a panic, it is really as the other party wants, isn't it? Isn't there still a master? ”
When he hugged Zhu Xi in Zhao Xiaoba's elbow, he didn't look at him angrily, I really don't know what to say about him, when did he still have a hippie smile.
"If you don't have a hair on your mouth, you can't do things well! The old lady sees that you are also an unreliable master, and you may encounter trouble, but you will push me in front as a shield. ”
"Hey, hey, hey! Is it okay to speak and take responsibility? Is my Zhao Xiaoba such a grandson's man? Push a woman out as a shield, and if you want me to mix it up, do you want me to mix it up in the rivers and lakes. ”
Looking at his unwilling appearance, Zhu Xishi couldn't hold back his laughter for a while, and he took it seriously to tease him. A man's sense of self-esteem is really strong!
"Okay, little eighth master, anyway, my mother's life is tied to your belt, and I expect you to be righteous."
"Cut!"
Foolishly letting go of the hand on Zhu Xishi's shoulder, Zhao Xiaoba rushed forward and kicked his own pebble again, kicking one by one!
Zhu Xishi laughed even more heartily. What can he do, it's more serious! What a tenacious little man.
After chatting for a while, the two returned to Zhu Xishi's house before knowing it. I didn't make up for sleep at noon, Zhu Xishi was a little tired at this time, and went back to the room after telling Zhao Xiaoba a few words.
Zhao Xiaoba, who was about to get some water to wash his face, hadn't taken a few steps when suddenly a heart-rending scream came from Zhu Xishi's room!
Zhao Xiaoba's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly dropped the wooden basin in his hand, and rushed to her boudoir.
A heavy-footed Zhao Xiaoba kicked open the door of Zhu Xishi's room, and when he saw the trembling Zhu Xishi, he was sitting on the ground, shouting in a long and short voice.
"Zhu Xishi, what's wrong?!"
A brisk step forward, Zhao Xiaoba fell to Zhu Xishi, who was shrunk into a ball on the ground, pressed her trembling shoulders and asked urgently.
"Dead dead man, in bed!!"
For a long time, the frightened Zhu Xishi trembled slightly and pointed to his bed, screaming loudly, but he didn't dare to look at it again.
Zhao Xiaoba also raised his head in amazement, and looked at the bed along Zhu Xishi's point, and sure enough, a pale hand appeared on the side of the bed! didn't care about comforting Zhu Xishi, Zhao Xiaoba hurriedly got up and went over to take a closer look. It's just that this closer look caused Zhao Xiaoba to panic even more.
Li Shaoyin! When Zhao Xiaoba, who was shocked and couldn't hide his mistakes, looked at that familiar face, he could only echo a sentence in his mind over and over again: How could the male corpse on the bed be Li Shaoyin?!
The gray eyes widened, and the pupils had long since dilated, and he was dead; Li Shaoyin's gray face was cut into a big flower face by the knife, showing a faint corpse spot. And the shocking knife mark on his neck was covered with a thick blood scab, obviously he lost too much blood and died!
Zhao Xiaoba looked at it in shock for a long time, and calmed down his panicked mind a little, the corpse of Li Shaoyin in front of him had begun to decompose, and he had obviously been dead for a long time.
And at this time, the biggest doubt in his mind was that Li Shaoyin, a member of the household department, was not good to stay in the capital, why did this Li Shaoyin appear in Taiyuan Mansion and die for it? Apparently there is a huge secret hidden behind this!
In a hurry, Zhao Xiaoba couldn't care about so many questions, so he quickly turned around and returned to Zhu Xishi's side and held her up.
"It's not safe here, can't stay any longer! Come with me! ”
Zhu Xishi, who was devastated, couldn't react at all at this time, his feet were fluttering like stepping on a pile of cotton, and he walked out of the house step by step with Zhao Xiaoba; There were tears in my eyes, and I was probably really frightened by this situation.
After a lot of effort, Zhao Xiaoba helped Zhu Xishi to sit down in front of the bun shop. Looking at the endless flow of people on the street, a sense of peace of mind suddenly emerged; But the current situation is critical, and a way to deal with it must be found, Zhao Xiaoba pondered for a moment and then told Zhu Xishi, who was in a daze.
"Xi Shi, I'll go to the yamen to report the case now, you cheer up! If you encounter something wrong, you can quickly call for help from everyone, you know? ”
"Do you hear me clearly? Shih Tzu! ”
In a trance, Zhu Xishi raised his head for a long time, looked at Zhao Xiaoba, who had a gloomy face beside him, and suddenly realized something, and a pair of round eyes rolled out tears again.
"I'm scared"
It's probably the first time I've seen such a terrifying scene, and I've been stabbed too much to slow down, and it's really pitiful for Zhu Xishi to be like that. But the current situation is too critical, it is not the time to be afraid at all, Zhao Xiaoba is also cross-hearted, and he is ruthless, and he speaks hard to the stunned Zhu Xi.
"Show your guts, isn't there anything to be afraid of as a dead man! Remember what I just said, and be sure to brace yourself and take care of yourself when I come back! ”
"Did you hear me clearly, Zhu Xishi?! Answer me! ”
Looking at Zhao Xiaoba, who was in a daze, Zhu Xishi, who was stunned, adjusted for a long time before slowly letting go of the hand that was tightly tugging on his sleeve and nodded.
Seeing that she listened to her words, Zhao Xiaoba breathed a sigh of relief, and patted her face on the back of her hand with ease, relieved: "It's going to be fine, don't worry." ”
Wiping the tears on his face with his bare hands, Zhu Xishi also plucked up the courage to reply: "I'm waiting for you to come back." ”
Finally, Zhao Xiaoba showed a little smile on his face, and then rushed out of the shop like an arrow off the string and ran towards the yamen.
