After eating, Wang Xiao spent the night with Ying'er and knives around the candle flame.

It wasn't until he pretended to fall asleep that Ying'er turned back to her room.

Wang Xiao was a night owl in his previous life, and he was not used to going to bed so early, and it was even more difficult to fall asleep at this time when he was thinking about the day's events.

Yuan Qing can decide the fate of the old master with one sentence, so is the fate of his own son of a businessman also in the hands of others?

Although it was only a glimpse of the thought, he felt that it was difficult to let go.

It's like there's a thorn in my heart, and I can't help but think about it.

After thinking about it for a while, he felt a little nostalgic for the old supper.

So he decided to go out and explore, even if he was familiar with the terrain.

Because he had been deflated last time at the gatekeeper's rosacea and pockmarked face, this time he was going to climb the wall to get out, and tiptoed out of the room, so he walked to the back of the courtyard.

There is no other yard behind Wang Xiao's small courtyard, there is only a garden, and after the garden, he sees a banana tree, a small pond by the side, and a small pavilion next to the pool. It seems that it used to be a place for people to paint, but now it is unused, but there are many wine jars.

Beyond the pavilion is a row of bushes, and behind it is a courtyard wall that is nearly three meters high.

Wang Xiao had an idea after looking at it, and took the wine jar and placed it under the courtyard wall.

He moved back and forth many times, and finally built a ladder in the shape of a mountain.

Stepping on the wine jar and climbing the courtyard wall, he looked down and felt that it was quite high from the ground, so he had to lie on the courtyard wall with his hands and put his body down.

Fortunately, although he was young, he was already quite tall, and he hung on the wall and shook it, and he jumped down to avoid falling and hurting himself.

"Ouch."

This fall made the soles of his feet numb, and Wang Xiaolao couldn't get up for a long time.

It seems that the foot is twisted.

Holding his feet and resting for a while, he looked up, only to feel that this alley seemed to be familiar in the moonlight.

Snow Alley?

There was a squeak, and a courtyard door was opened on the other side of the wall, probably because the people in the courtyard heard Wang Xiao's painful cry just now, so they went out to have a look.

I saw a maid ring poke her head out and glanced at Wang Xiao.

Although it was a little impolite, Wang Xiao's first thought was indeed that this girl ring was really ugly.

The second thought is - this girl ring is so familiar.

Then, he secretly said something bad in his heart, isn't it the flower branch next to Tang Qianqian that came out of the door?

"I'm really a fool to jump down and fall in front of a serial murderer."

Seeing that it was Wang Xiao, Hua Zhi came over and picked him up, and without speaking, he helped him and walked to the courtyard.

This girl looks thin and small, but her strength is huge. Wang Xiao didn't dare to resist, like a cat that was pinched by the back of fate's neck.

After entering the courtyard, Tang Qianqian came out of the house, and when she saw Wang Xiao, she had a very interesting smile on her face.

"I haven't seen Wang Gongzi for a day, is this because I miss the slave family?"

The voice is soft, but there are also some surprises.

Wang Xiao didn't know how to respond with a smile on his face, he turned over from the wall with great difficulty, and was caught in someone's urn, what else could he say.

"He jumped off the wall and sprained his foot. ”

"This can really be described as 'a red apricot out of the wall'." Tang Qianqian covered her mouth and smiled, quite amorous, and said, "Help me to my room." ”

She said that she entered the house first, and pushed the quilt, and Huazhi put Wang Xiao on the bed.

"Go and fetch a basin of water, and ask for ice water from the bottom of the well." Tang Qianqian commanded.

As she spoke, she reached out and lifted Wang Xiao's feet.

"I'll do it myself."

"Don't move."

Tang Qianqian said that he had untied his shoes and socks, only to see a large swollen area on his ankle.

"Bear with me."

As she spoke, she pulled it in her hand, and her movements were very neat, and she straightened his foot bones.

This time it was extremely painful, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out on Wang Xiao's forehead.

"Why don't you shout out?" Tang Qianqian said softly, and wiped his sweat with a handkerchief.

"Didn't have time to shout." Wang smiled: "Will you still be boneless?" ”

"The slave family will get a lot, do you want to try them one by one?" Tang Qianqian bit her lip and said.

These words of the tiger and wolf frightened Wang Xiaoxiao, and he quickly changed the topic and said in a low voice: "Today, I have been to the patrol camp. ”

Just as Huazhi came in with a basin of water, he quickly stopped talking.

My feet were in the icy water and it didn't hurt that much.

"You go out, don't come in if you don't shout." Tang Qianqian commanded again.

So there were only two people in the room, sitting on the bed.

Looking at the beauty under the candle, Wang Xiao became a little uneasy.

Tang Qianqian felt his uneasiness, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became stronger.

"Then I said that after I went to the patrol camp, the man I saw was said to be a good person, but I think he is just an ordinary person, not a killer."

"The slave family knows, and the two poor masters also let the slave family recognize it in the morning."

Wang smiled: "Don't worry, Miss Tang, although I didn't testify against him. But I didn't say anything about you. ”

As she spoke, Tang Qianqian moved closer and stared at Wang Xiao's face.

"Wang Gongzi came to the slave family late at night, just to reassure the slave family? What are you afraid of the slave family saying? ”

Wang Xiao said in a low voice: "I didn't say anything about Luo Yuan, nor did I say anything about Huazhi. ”

"The matter of flowers?" Tang Qianqian laughed, "Do you think the flower branch is the wood?" ”

"No...... Isn't it? ”

Tang Qianqian said: "She's just a girl, how can she be a serial killer?" ”

"But those eight words yesterday are clearly written exactly the same." Wang Xiao suppressed his voice, his expression a little mysterious.

"There will be a serial killer in Jingshi every three or five days, and after killing someone, there will be no trace, and it is extremely difficult to hunt down, but no one has ever thought about why. Has Wang Gongzi thought about it? ”

"Why?"

Tang Qianqian said: "Do you want to hear? ”

"Hmm." Wang Xiao nodded.

"Since you want to hear it, the slave family has to tell you." Tang Qianqian said softly, "It is not easy to live in Beijing, there are inevitably some quarrels between people, and there are often cases of people being killed by mistake, so some people see the business opportunities and start a scapegoat. ”

Wang Xiao came to his senses slightly.

Tang Qianqian said: "One way to scapegoat people is to bring a 'murderer' over to clean up on the spot." There is another way...... For example, the slave family knew Muzi's body shape, methods and habits in advance, and if something happened temporarily, they could disguise the scene as Muzi's doing. ”

"How do you know this information? And the handwriting......"

"Naturally, I bought it, and the handwriting was also practiced, and the stupid girl of Huazhi practiced for several days before she could practice." Tang Qianqian said with a smile.

Wang Xiao blinked, and was a little speechless for a while.

It's really selling everything.

And this woman, who always has a scapegoat in the house, is obviously not a good match.

"In other words, there is no such person as Muzi?" Wang Xiao asked again.

Tang Qianqian said: "Maybe there is, maybe not, but these nine people are definitely not all killed by him." ”

Wang Xiao felt that this incident was even more terrible than a serial murderer.

In the capital, there is a group of people holding abonement charms in their hands and killing people unscrupulously.

The woman in front of her is such a person, and I don't know what her identity is......

Tang Qianqian lifted Wang Xiao's feet to wipe them dry, and put them on her lap.

The gauze skirt is silky and smooth, revealing some softness and warmth.

Wang Xiao shrank back, but her feet were held by her.

"The slave's secret has been told to you, but your secret hasn't been told to me yet." She said leisurely.

"My secret?"

"Like, why pretend to be a fool?"

Wang Xiao was silent for a while, but still said honestly: "Someone wants to kill me." ”

"Oh? Do you want the slave family to protect you? ”

"I don't know who is going to kill me." Wang Xiao sighed softly.

Tang Qianqian said: "Isn't it your eldest brother? ”

"My big brother?"

Thinking of Wang Zhen's face that looked very easy to get along with, he was a little scared in his heart, so he asked, "Why did my eldest brother kill me?" ”

Tang Qianqian covered her mouth and smiled: "The slave family is just guessing, what are you nervous about?" ”

"You can't guess for no reason, why?" Wang Xiao suppressed his voice.

"Naturally, for his career, if your marriage to Princess Chunning is successful, he will never be able to win the first place, and for some scholars, it is equivalent to ruining his life." After Tang Qianqian finished speaking, she leaned into his ear and said, "Of course, this is what the slave family guessed." ”

"My marriage to the princess?" Wang Xiao was a little surprised.

Tang Qianqian said: "What? ”

She stared at Wang Xiao's face for a while, a little puzzled.

"You...... What are you watching me do? Wang Xiao said nervously.

Tang Qianqian said: "If it weren't for your face, the slave family would have suspected that you were the third son of the Wang family who was pretending to be." ”

Wang Xiao was taken aback.

saw Tang Qianqian covering her mouth and laughing again.

The woman was very smart, and he had no choice but to say, "I'll tell you the truth, I was hit on the back of the head with a stick the day before yesterday, and when I woke up, I felt a lot more enlightened." But I can't remember much of what happened before. ”

"The trick you only opened two days ago?" Tang Qianqian said.

"Really, you're the only one who knows, don't tell anyone."

Tang Qianqian saw that his eyes were quite sincere, and nodded.

After a while, she whispered again, "That...... Is it a secret between us? ”

Wang Xiao panicked, and quickly changed the topic: "Why do I want to marry a princess?" Am I not a demented child? ”

"Presumably your second brother has some calculations." Tang Qianqian said.

As for why a dementia can marry a princess, she also patiently explained to Wang Xiao.

"Then, what kind of person is Princess Chunning?" Wang Xiao asked.

Tang Qianqian pinched his chin and said, "Does Wang Gongzi have to face other women in front of the slave family?" ”

"I ......"

I really can't do anything about this woman-Wang Xiao sighed in his heart.

Then, he thought that Wang Zhen spoke calmly and had a high status in the family, if such a person wanted to kill himself, he was afraid that it would be difficult to hide.

"If I want to catch people in the patrol camp, what can I do?"

Tang Qianqian said: "If you really want someone to protect you, the slave family said that they can protect you." ”

"Really? Is there a condition? Wang Xiao was a little happy.

"What conditions can you want?" Tang Qianqian said leisurely: "As long as you become a slave family." ”

"Then you better tell me how to get people." Wang smiled and sighed.

"If you really want to fish, you can go to the Xingwang Gambling House on West Fourth Street and find Xiao Chai He." Tang Qianqian said: "The slave family's news about Muzi was bought from him. ”

"Little matches?"

"Xiao Chai He."

"Oh." Wang smiled: "He is in this business, right?" ”

As he spoke, he tried to stand up.

"Thank you for telling me so much today. If there is a place where you want me to help in the future. I'll be ......."

Before the words were finished, he was pulled down by Tang Qianqian.

"Won't Wang Gongzi stay overnight?" She said, her eyes teary-eyed.

"I ...... I have to go back......" He was a little confused for a moment, and casually said nonsense: "The fire on my stove hasn't been turned off yet......"
