In the fifth year of Taihe, October Yiyou, the beginning of the year.

Chang'an, Chang'an County, Guangdefang.

After figuring out where to go next, Li Shangyin finally felt that he was cheering up, he straightened his clothes, and said eagerly, "Then we are going to Wannian County now?" ”

Zhang Yijun nodded, but fine lines were squeezed out between his eyebrows.

"Brother Yijun...... What's wrong? ”

Zhang Yijun once again stood with his arms in front of Mobao, smacked his lips and said, "Wannian County belongs to Jing County, and the county magistrate is the fifth grade, with ordinary means, I am afraid it will not be so easy to visit ......"

Li Shangyin was puzzled, "But...... Doesn't Brother Yi Jun have the seal of King Ying? ”

Zhang Yijun hurriedly shook his head and vetoed it, explaining, "Seal ribbons are not something that can be used casually...... Moreover, the county government is important, and it is not suitable to visit privately as a member of the prince's staff, if it is known, it will be suspected of personal friendship with the courtiers, which will be unfavorable to His Royal Highness. ”

Li Shangyin, who originally had fighting spirit, was poured with this basin of cold water, and he suddenly made a difficulty. Although he now understands how to use privilege, he has not yet realized that privilege is also a double-edged sword, and if he is not careful, there is a risk of backlash.

There was silence in the library pavilion, and Li Shang suddenly had an idea, and took the lead in breaking the silence and said, "There it is!" ”

“…… Yishan remembered that yesterday, someone once claimed that the territory of Wannian County was his territory, and I wonder if I could ask him to help in this matter? ”

After listening to this self-proposing, Zhang Yijun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but cast an appreciative look at Li Shangyin.

"Go to Wannian County!"

Meanwhile.

Wannian County, Pingkangfang Beiqu.

Qingfeng Pavilion has been completely closed for ten days since the previous murder. Pingkangfang is the most prosperous place in the city, in addition to the place of pleasure and feast, there is also no lack of mansions of dignitaries, and the murder is Nanqu where prostitutes are all over the place, Wannian County does not dare to ignore it. Therefore, three times before and after the Wannian County Ya, the county lieutenant He Yu personally led people to come here to collect evidence and investigate.

From Qingfeng Pavilion all the way to the north, through two crossroads, in the northeast corner of the square, there are more than a dozen white-walled and blue-tiled houses, the architectural style is similar, almost continuous with each other. There are ten halberds displayed in front of these houses, and there is also a valve reading column on the left and right sides, and a flag is raised high in the atrium, and the paintings on it are different, all of which are fierce birds, beasts, dragons, swimming fish, etc., and at a glance you can see that it is the Jinju Yuan set up in the capital by the major feudal towns.

Further north of the temple are luxury shops selling treasures, antiques, incense, gold and silverware, and brocade and silk. Every time the marshal is summoned to the court, if there is no other mansion in Beijing, he will choose to stay here, and the surrounding shops will be a lively scene.

Xuanji got out of the rental car and walked all the way to the vicinity of the shop in a low mood, and her pace was a little slow. The people here are noisy, shouting, selling, and singing are overlapping. Many drooping children who chased each other also sang the nursery rhyme "Zhangshui is clear, Tang Zuo is long." Years old in Xinhai, the water is abundant and the sky is yellow......"

But what always lingered in Xuanji's ears at this moment was the last few words Zhang Yijun said to her, which made her linger for a long time.

Although he is clean, even if he is clean, I am afraid that in the eyes of others, he is a pair of jade arms and a thousand pillows, and he can taste the lips...... Xuanji smiled bitterly, but this smile hid deep sadness.

She pressed her steps, bypassed the shops along the street, and hurried into a small courtyard at the end of the alley.

In fact, this was originally a separate business for the second mother, and later she became the top brand, so the second mother gave up this other business, and she could come to live here at any time if she needed to. In the past, Qingfeng Pavilion had a booming business, and Xuanji basically stayed in Nanqu on weekdays, or was pulled by the benefactor to accompany her, and rarely came to this small courtyard. But I didn't expect it to come in handy today.

Xuanji sighed lightly, she took off her hat, took off her men's clothes, changed into a big-sleeved shirt in the inner hall, and tied a belt; He simply combed a snail bun and inserted a mutton fat hosta on it. It was only after completing this whole set that she felt that she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It wasn't until she went out into the courtyard that she suddenly heard a heavy knock at the front door......

Xuanji throbbed in her chest, except for the second mother who sometimes came here to store some aromatherapy powder for backup and convenient access, there was basically no one in this house on weekdays. And shouldn't the second mother still be working in Qingfeng Pavilion? Who will be so early? And who would know that there is a person living here?

When this series of questions flashed through Xuanji's mind, her mind raced, and she froze in place for a moment, not knowing whether to open the door or ignore it.

There was a knock on the door again, three times before and after, the difference from the previous one was that this pass was more urgent and stronger, and the wooden door shook with it, and it was obvious that the knocker was a little impatient.

Zhang Yijun's previous advice floated uncontrollably in her mind......

But...... This is the north song of Pingkangfang, surrounded by business shops, and a little south is the Jinjuan of Zhufan Town, even if there is a murderer, if you want to do something wrong, you should avoid people's eyes and ears...... Thinking so, Xuanji swallowed her saliva, and she dared to walk towards the main entrance.

Although Xuanji was silent, the ups and downs of her chest and the slight trembling softness actually exposed her heart, and the deaths of Luo Yao and the forbidden army alternately replayed in her mind, making her actually afraid in her heart. Xuanji gently lifted the latch, opening the door through a thin slit.

Xuanji couldn't help but be stunned. This person was dressed in a maroon lapel robe, black boots on his feet, and his recognizable brown eyebrows and high nose almost made Xuanji blurt out.

That hexagram from the West Market? Keeping the promise?

An Shouyue's eyes were far more surprised than Xuanji's, and he stood in place, stunned for a moment. Xuanji was stared at uncomfortably, and then suddenly remembered that she had already taken off her men's clothes and put on a women's large-sleeved shirt.

An Shouyue's eyes swept over Xuanji's body a little presumptuously, and he said, "The way of this world...... I really can't imagine ...... 'Childe' is a weak woman? ”

Xuanji smiled and said, "What son?" I'm afraid I'm admitting the wrong ......."

An Shouyue's expression on his face remained unchanged, "If you follow a certain way, how can you admit your mistake?" ”

Xuanji was shocked, and "groaned" in her heart, this guy actually followed him all the way? What is he going to do?!

Xuanji secretly felt that something was wrong, and she was about to close the door. Who knew that An Shouyue slammed his forearm on the door and directly opened the door halfway. Xuanji wanted to push but found that she couldn't push at all.

Xuanji suppressed the tension in his heart, mustered up his courage, and met An Shouyue's deep eyebrows, and suddenly felt that the eyes of this hexagram seemed to be slightly different from those in Xishi before, far from being full of flattery and faint carelessness as before, but at this moment there was some blazing energy, which made Xuanji wonder if he had recognized the wrong person.

Xuanji gave up closing the door, she restrained her expression, looked at An Shouyue coldly, and unconsciously raised her voice, "Then what advice do you have for being content?" ”

An Shouyue opened the door wider, and the corner of his mouth on the left side was slightly raised, squeezing out a bend of dimples. He smiled and leaned over. Xuanji was taken aback by his bold move, which provoked her to subconsciously take a half step back, almost screaming.

"Look down...... "An Shouyue's lips opened slightly, and his deep voice almost popped out from between his teeth," on the other side of the wide street...... The Hu merchant who gnaws apples, the brown clothes who look at the silk, and the porter who bargains, what do the little ladies have in common? ”

Xuanji's fine eyebrows frowned slightly, and she was inexplicable, what is this guy talking about?

She was just tall enough to look over An Shouyo's shoulders. There were people coming and going on the street, and there were a few shops on the other side of the wide street, and the three people mentioned by An Shouyue could indeed be noticed in front of the shops. Xuanji didn't notice anything strange at first, but the next time, she suddenly felt that these three people seemed to be looking at this side from time to time, or more accurately, to the porch where she was! And all three of them have long-bladed blades hanging from their waists without exception!

Xuanji's heartbeat missed half a beat, what's going on?

An Shouyue didn't give Xuanji any more time to think about it, so he leaned over to Xuanji, Xuanji didn't have time to distinguish, An Shouyue's deep voice had already sounded in Xuanji's ears, "They are all here to kill their mouths...... Unfortunately, the target is the little lady! An kept the promise, and there was a faint mockery at the end of the words.
