"Lord Qian. ”

In a mansion in Liucheng, several people were talking about various things that had happened in the past two months. It is said to be a conversation, but in fact it is just a one-sided reprimand and questioning.

"In June, a fire broke out in a ruin, you don't care, there have been continuous murders in the past two months, and you have no clues!"

"Tell me, what is the use of you, the Taishou of Liucheng!"

A young man stood in the middle of the hall, holding a long sword, and spoke righteously.

"Nangong's guards don't know. This willow city, in June, the catkins are all over the sky, the weather is dry and dry, and it is normal to have occasional fires, and the murders in the past two months, according to my investigation, the deceased are all members of the Sky Wolf Gang. You also know that this gangster has offended a lot, and there is really no way to find out. ”

Liu Cheng is too guarded by Qian Zhengyu and has no fear, the man in front of him is named Nangong Jie, in the final analysis, he is just a small guard, whether it is an official position or a seniority, the other party should respect him for three points.

If it weren't for the woman sitting behind him, he wouldn't even have to pay attention to him. If Han Yi was here, he would definitely recognize that woman was the person who stood up for Qin Yunuo that day, and she was also the only sister of the current human emperor Ji Qianhua - the county lord of Qinghe, Ji Qianxue.

"Heh, accidental fire?" Hearing Qian Zhengyu's words, Nangong Jie snorted coldly, "Then tell me, what's going on with the more than 20 corpses inside? Could it be that they accidentally ran in to put out the fire!"

"It's ridiculous. After speaking, Nangong Jie flicked his sleeves angrily.

"This ......" Hearing Nangong Jie's words, Qian Zhengyu's brows furrowed, he gave a gag order for this matter, but for some reason, Nangong Jie would know.

"Lord Qian doesn't need to take us for fools, you know, we naturally have a way to know. A woman's voice came, but it was the county lord of Qinghe, who was sitting behind Nangong Jie, who spoke.

"Please also ask Lord Qian to tell me the truth. ”

The county lord of Qinghe had a soft voice, and his face was also smiling, looking gentle and amiable, but Qian Zhengyu didn't feel the slightest kindness at this time, all he felt was domineering and oppressive.

"Alas, the county lord is really embarrassed. Qian Zhengyu shook his head, got up and paced, "The lower official doesn't know more than the county lord. ”

"The fire in June caused a storm in the city, and when the lower officials arrived with people, the fire was raging. ”

At this moment, Qian Zhengyu can only tell everything that happened at that time.

When the fire was extinguished, it was only then that I realized that there were more than 20 corpses inside. In order to avoid panic, Xia Guan kept the matter a secret. ”

"How can there be more than 20 people in a ruin?" Before Qian Zhengyu finished speaking, Nangong Jie had questions.

"Huh. Qian Zhengyu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Yes, how can there be more than 20 corpses in a ruin? I am also puzzled by this, so I asked someone to secretly investigate, but the more than 20 corpses have been burned black and difficult to identify, how can they be checked." ”

"As for the murder cases in the past two months, they also started after this incident, and Xia Guan naturally started to investigate. But so far, the only clue is that the deceased are all members of the Sky Wolf Gang. ”

After Qian Zhengyu finished speaking, he turned to the county lord of Qinghe and saluted, "That's all the officials know." ”

"Lord Qian, do you know what the consequences of the crime of bullying the king are. Nangong Jie stared at Qian Zhengyu and emphasized, as if he didn't believe it.

"It's about the life of the lower official, the lower official doesn't dare to lie, and he also hopes that the lord of Qinghe County will investigate. Hearing Nangong Jie's words, Qian Zhengyu hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy from the county lord of Qinghe. At this time, although it is not the human emperor's personal arrival, the human emperor is also famous for loving his sister, in other words, the Qinghe county lord wants Qian Zhengyu's life, which is just a matter of one sentence.

"Lord Qian doesn't need to worry, if what you say is true, this county lord will naturally not blame you. "The county lord of Qinghe is also generous, and in a word, he will not blame the previous things.

"Thank you, Lord Shiren. When Qian Zhengyu heard this, he immediately kowtowed and thanked him.

"It's just that you said that the murders in the past two months only started after that fire?" the county lord of Qinghe then also questioned.

"Exactly. Qian Zhengyu got up and nodded.

"Could there be a connection between these two things? Or rather, the bodies in the fire were not burned to death at all. Lord Qinghe frowned slightly and asked again.

"The county lord is really smart. Qian Zhengyu also nodded undeniably again, admitting the speculation of the county lord of Qinghe.

"As the county lord of Qinghe said, the more than 20 corpses all had different degrees of fractures, and there was even one corpse that was nailed to the ground with a sword, as if it had been crucified alive, and I don't know who was so fierce. ”

Subsequently, Qian Zhengyu also explained this, and halfway through speaking, he couldn't help but shudder, as if he remembered the situation that day.

"Sure enough!" Lord Qinghe nodded, gave an answer to his conjecture, and then, asked some inconsequential questions, and let Qian Zhengyu go back to rest.

"The county lord just let go of Qian Zhengyu like this?" After Qian Zhengyu left, Nangong Jie spoke again, and seemed to be dissatisfied in his heart.

"After all, his ability is limited, and no matter how much he asks, he can't ask anything. The county lord of Qinghe shook her head, she also knew that it was useless to embarrass Qian Zhengyu, instead of embarrassing him to make enemies, it was better to let him go, let him owe herself a favor, and when he was used in the future, it would be easier to speak.

"Eat the king, but don't worry about the king, hum!" Although Nangong Jie was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't say much, but he had doubts about the words of Qian Zhengyu, "County Lord, what you said just now is true or false?"

"Look at him, it's not fake. The county lord of Qinghe shook his head and denied Nangong Jie's suspicions, "Also, how many times have I said that you want to call me Miss." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to play Nangong Jie's head, but Nangong Jie didn't hide, and let her toss, but the county lord of Qinghe stretched out in front of Nangong Jie, and finally didn't bounce it down, and took his hand back.

"You don't know how to hide, stupid. Then, he said with a sense of boredom.

"It's the subordinates' mistakes, the county lord...... Ah, no. It is right for the young lady to punish her subordinates. Nangong Jie arched his hand and replied with a serious face.

When the county lord of Qinghe heard his words, he secretly shook his head in his heart and sighed, it was really a wooden head.

"Miss, did your subordinates do something wrong again?" Nangong Jie saw that the county lord of Qinghe looked at him helplessly, and he didn't speak, and he also felt that he should have done something wrong again, which made her unhappy.

Seeing Nangong Jie like this, the county lord of Qinghe simply ignored him, turned around and went to his room, leaving Nangong Jie alone in place and wondering for a long time.

On the other side, Jiang Feng and the others were already getting closer and closer to Liucheng......

At this time, Han Yi was as usual, guiding Li Cong's swordsmanship, chatting with Xiao Yun and Qin Yunuo, playing chess, quite leisurely.

didn't realize at all that two ** annoyances were coming.
