Hongling Zhenren was pierced through the neck by an arrow, his eyes were angry, and his violent eyes showed a look of disbelief.

Mrs. Huang's eyes were also wide, and she wanted to shout in fright, but she couldn't make a sound.

Hongling Zhenren's body fell softly, and he was still lying on Mrs. Huang's body, Mrs. Huang's soul was scattered, she closed her eyes, and suddenly felt that her body was light, and when she opened her eyes, she found that the body lying on her body had been pulled away and lying on the ground.

The archer, whose face was covered with a gray cloth, could only see a pair of eyes, did not speak, went around the back of the chair, and cut the rope that bound Madame Huang's hands with a sharp blade, and then whispered, "Can you walk yourself?" ”

Mrs. Huang struggled for a while, but the medicine was not over, and she couldn't stand up at all.

"I can't get up." Although Mrs. Huang was horrified, she was still bold.

It was naturally Qin Xiao who shot Hongling Zhenren with an arrow.

Qin Xiao knew that Hongling Zhenren was a royal alchemist, although his character was despicable, he was reused by the saints, and now that he was killed, it would inevitably cause waves.

This person does all kinds of evil, Qin Xiao knows that such a scourge will not only continue to harm others if he stays in the world, but also a threat to himself.

For the enemy, Qin Xiao will never be soft-hearted.

However, he also knew that if he left like this, Mrs. Huang would definitely fall into a desperate situation.

At the scene of the killing, Mrs. Huang was in it, she was bound to be implicated, and even to that Huang Shaoqing, if the case fell into the hands of Lu Junzhong of the Criminal Department, the Huang family would inevitably suffer a catastrophe.

Even if it is judged that Mrs. Huang is not a murderer, but she appears in the Taoist temple in the middle of the night, and Hongling Zhenren dies naked, Mrs. Huang will definitely be regarded by everyone as a slut who makes peace with the Taoist priest, and Mrs. Huang will not be able to live anymore.

This woman was a little confused, but she did not deserve that outcome.

Qin Xiao knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he thought for a while before he said, "I'm sorry!" "It's not nonsense, I went over and took a big coat and put it on my wife, hugged my wife horizontally, and made sure that there were no other clues, so I quickly went out.

Vaguely hearing footsteps not far away, Qin Xiao knew that he had just kicked open the door of the house, and someone should have heard the movement and was coming this way.

He is now a master of the Zhongtian Realm, as powerful as an ox, although Mrs. Huang is slightly plump, but in Qin Xiao's arms is extremely light, his feet are like flying, through the pavilion and flower garden, straight to the side door, to the door, open the door, and then ask Mrs. Huaizhong: "Where is your carriage?" ”

Mrs. Huang was shocked, but at this time she finally came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "I asked him to wait in the back." Reluctantly raised his arm and pointed behind him.

Qin Xiao didn't say much, under the moonlight, like a cheetah, he went straight to the back, and sure enough, he saw the carriage parked under a big tree, and when he got to the side of the carriage, he saw the coachman leaning on the head of the carriage and dozing off, put his wife on the head of the wheel, and said in a low voice: "Get out of here quickly, you haven't been here, and you haven't seen anyone." ”

"Eun Gong, you ..... Who are you? Mrs. Huang hurriedly said: "Can you leave your name and repay it in the future." ”

"The less you know, the better." Qin Xiao didn't say much, seeing that the coachman had woken up, turned around and left, Madame was a little anxious, stretched out her hand and seemed to want to grab Qin Xiao, but in an instant, Qin Xiao had already left a few steps, Madame looked at Qin Xiao's back, and her horror was gone, but there was a deep sense of loss.

Qin Xiao went into the grove on the edge of the Taoist temple, dropped the bow and arrow, and took off the clothes of the shadow arrow and threw it in the forest.

Qin Xiao knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he killed Hongling Zhenren, and it was done, and his feet were like flying, hidden in the night.

It rained the next day in Kyoto.

In the spring rain of March, moisturizing things silently, in the drizzle, Kyoto City is full of Kyoto government officials, searching and interrogating in Kyoto.

The people of Kyoto were a little surprised by such a big move.

Many people thought that because of the case of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, the officials continued to search for Fan Wenzheng's comrades, but they soon learned that Hong Lingzhen, the master of the Immortal Temple, was assassinated last night.

The news of Kyoto spread extremely fast, and by noon, most people in Kyoto already knew the news.

In fact, most people have no contact with the concept of immortality, and the life and death of Hongling Zhenren has nothing to do with them, but Hongling Zhenren, a group of Taoist priests, is notorious in Kyoto, and now they are assassinated.

There are a lot of Sipingfang inn restaurants, and many foreign tourists live here, so naturally there will be no shortage of checks.

Many officials even took this opportunity to extort, making the people and merchants complain, and scolding the murderer who killed Hongling Zhenren, but in their hearts they cursed these officials and merchants for not dying well.

"Bang Bang!"

Qin Xiao's door was naturally knocked on as a matter of course, and when it was almost lunch, Qin Xiao opened the door, sleepy-eyed, as if he had just gotten up, and the few officials outside were led by yesterday's Liang Zhutou.

Liang Zhutou saw Qin Xiao with a smile on his face, and his tone was obviously much more polite than yesterday, and asked, "Qin Gongzi just woke up?" ”

"I didn't come to Kyoto for a long time, I didn't adapt to the water and soil, I was a little unwell last night, I didn't sleep well, and I fell asleep at dawn." Qin Xiao yawned and frowned slightly: "Head hunting, or for yesterday's incident?" I have already said that I was trying to save people, and I didn't mean to embarrass real people, but I really can't do it, you brought me back to the yamen, and I just said that. ”

"Hongling Zhenren is dead." Liang Zhutou stared at Qin Xiao's eyes: "He was killed." ”

Qin Xiao didn't seem to come back to his senses, and said lazily: "Dead? That's .....!" He suddenly came back to his senses and said in a lost voice: "Dead? Who died? Hongling ..... Hongling Zhenren is dead? ”

Liang Zhutou nodded and said, "Last night in the Taoist temple, I was shot and killed. ”

"Someone killed him?" Qin Xiao was surprised: "Then the head catcher is here...... Do you suspect that I killed him? ”

"Of course not." Liang Zhutou said with a smile: "However, according to the above, Hongling Zhenren is the master of immortal contemplation, and he is deeply liked by the saints, and now that he has been killed, we naturally have to search for the murderer." We took the errand, we always have to make a show Qin Gongzi, you were in the inn last night? ”

Qin Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, after you left yesterday, Brother Gu and I ..... Well, it's your Kyoto Prefecture clerk Lang Gu Baiyi, I talked to him for a while, he said that Liang Zhutou was on an errand yesterday, let me not take it too seriously, and let me be more careful, Hongling Zhenren has a relationship with the palace, and has a lot of influence in Kyoto, after the Criminal Department closes Fan Wenzheng's case, it is best for me to leave Kyoto as soon as possible. Later, Brother Gu returned to the Yamen, and I didn't go out again, I stayed at the inn, worried that if the Criminal Department sent someone to summon me, if I wasn't there, the case would be delayed. ”

"Until now?"

"Yes." Qin Xiao yawned again: "The people in the inn can testify for me, I haven't gone out." ”

Liang Zhutou glanced at the room a few times, Qin Xiao was very generous, flashed to the side, and said with a smile: "Liang Zhutou came in to find out if there was a murder weapon." The head catcher said that Hongling Zhenren was shot, and the murderer naturally used a bow and arrow, which was very cumbersome, and ordinary people would not use a bow and arrow to kill people, and ...... How can people like us get bows and arrows in Kyoto? ”

"Gong Qin

The sub misunderstood. Liang Zhutou shook his head and smiled: "I didn't say that Qin Gongzi is related to the murderer, and the murder weapon has been found near ..... Taoist temple!" It seemed that he had said too much, so he gave up his hand and led his subordinates away.

Qin Xiao knew that these few days must be an extraordinary time, so he didn't go out, only practiced in the inn.

In the battle with the Shadow Arrow last night, Qin Xiao felt the huge improvement in his strength after entering the fourth grade.

The Shadow Arrow is not a good stubble, if he doesn't break through the fourth grade, he may not be able to restrain him, and even if he can really restrain him, it will never be so easy.

The Shadow Arrow is a third-grade archer, although it is only one step away from the fourth-rank, but the strength is very different, and that step may not be able to be crossed in a lifetime for most martial arts people.

Qin Xiao couldn't help but be grateful to Red Leaves in his heart, if he didn't have the [Ancient Meaning Qi Technique] given by Red Leaves, he wouldn't be able to say the four grades, he wouldn't even be able to reach the Little Heaven Realm, just an ordinary person who could swing a few knives.

Thinking of the red leaves, Qin Xiao's mood was full of doubts.

The figure that appeared on the street last night, judging by Qin Xiao, is at least seventy percent likely to be red leaves.

Why are autumn leaves in Kyoto?

If it's really autumn leaves, why don't you avoid them?

He was puzzled, but he also knew that there were millions of people in Kyoto, but he was very unfamiliar with Kyoto, and it was undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to find autumn leaves in such a huge capital.

For two days in a row, Qin Xiao stayed at home, although he really wanted to go to the Gu family to have a look, but at this time, he still didn't want to make trouble for them.

Qin Xiao was at ease in the inn, but Lord Yin of Kyoto Prefecture was an ant on the hot nest, and it was difficult to sleep and eat.

Although Hongling Zhenren is only a Taoist priest and has no official lordship, this Taoist priest is a person who alchemy pills for the palace, and these elders will pay tribute to the palace every month.

When the murderer killed Hongling Zhenren, he went to the palace.

The sage Long Yan was furious, and ordered a thorough investigation of the murder of the real person, and after the criminal department received the order, the homicide case of the immortal temple was directly thrown into Kyoto Prefecture, if the case could not be solved quickly to find the murderer, when the palace asked down, the first unlucky person was himself in Kyoto Prefecture.

Kyoto Prefecture Yin's surname is Xia, the daimyo Hikoyuki, who is in charge of the order of Kyoto, and the eight hundred officials of Kyoto Prefecture are under his control, and he looks majestic, but only he knows in his heart that this Kyoto Prefecture Yin is really not a good errand.

Cases that can be rewarded for meritorious service will not be taken by the Kyoto Prefecture, and the Criminal Department will have already taken them, but some thankless cases will be thrown over by the Criminal Department very generously, and there will not be much reward if they are done well, but if they are not handled well, the pot will have to be taken care of by itself.

In the past two days, 800 yacha have been looking for the murderer everywhere, in fact, this is just a show, the reason is very simple, until now, Kyoto Prefecture has no idea where the murderer is sacred, and he has no idea about the appearance and origin of the murderer.

The officials of Kyoto Prefecture searched everywhere, just to show the palace and let the palace know that Kyoto Prefecture was trying its best to investigate the case.

Kyoto Mansion Yin was anxious, so he became angry, the corners of his mouth foamed, and he called the judge, the master and a few catchers in the yamen to the hall, and reprimanded him, everyone could understand Xia Mansion Yin's mood, and knew that if this case was not handled well, the official hat on the head of this Mansion Yin was afraid that he would not be able to keep it, and he scolded him for a few words, and it was not painful.

"Report!" A yacha almost crawled into the hall with a rolling belt, and without even communicating outside the door first, he knelt on the ground, pointed outside, and said breathlessly: "My lord, the purple-clothed prisoner..... Purple-clothed supervisor Chen Xi Chen asks to see! ”
