"Kill you!" He screamed, swung the dagger in his hand and pounced again, my wrist grabbing him with my backhand, followed by a backhand slap on his chest, knocking him out again.

At this moment, all the officers and soldiers outside rushed in when they heard the sound, and they came down the secret passage of the room with torches in hand.

"Go back! The smell here is poisonous, don't come down! I shouted at the crowd, and then a slap fell, causing the deranged man in front of me to fall into a coma for a moment.

"My lord, what is this?" After leaving the secret room, everyone present looked shocked.

I glanced back at the secret passage behind me that led to the secret room, and then at the person I had brought out of the secret room.

It was a middle-aged man, covered in tattered clothes, his face was covered with gloomy dark spots, he couldn't see the specific features of his face, his hair was like weeds, and he was in a mess, not much better than a beggar on the street.

"What about the old bustard? You won't run away, will you? "I looked around, but I didn't see the bustard's figure.

"Don't worry, my lord, we heard a noise here just now, and we took her down when we came in." A servant replied.

"Okay, now that time is pressing, you will immediately divide into three routes, all the way to escort the old bustard and this person back to Taifu, all the way to the restaurant antique store, and bring all the shopkeepers and guys there back to Taifu, and the rest of the way will stay here, looking at this secret passage, do you understand?"

"What about you, my lord?" One of them asked weakly.

I glanced up at him and said, "Didn't you see that it was almost dawn?" Naturally, I went buy some breakfast to fill my stomach first. Before I finished speaking, I had already come to the door and ran straight to the bun shop.

After I walked away, everyone looked at each other and whispered, "It seems that the adults are in a good mood, is the case about to be solved?" ”

"Nonsense, didn't you see that the adults all told us to start arresting people? Naturally, it is not far from solving the case. ”

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and arrest someone, and you can sleep well as soon as this case is settled, do you still want to continue to stay here in the wind and sun?"

The sky was shining, the rooster was crowing, all the officers and soldiers were dispatched quickly, and in less than a stick of incense, the shopkeepers of the restaurant and the antique shop were all escorted to the public court in Taifu.

Half an hour later, Taifu Ling appeared in the public hall with a yawn, and he was shocked and shouted: "Who is in the hall, report your name!" ”

"My lord, these seem to be the shopkeepers and buddies in those three suspicious stores." The master whispered in Taifu Ling's ear.

Taifu Ling touched his wine trough nose: "Now the trial will start directly?" ”

The master shook his head: "It seems that Miss Xue ordered the arrest." ”

Taifu Ling frowned slightly, and asked a little unpleasantly: "What about her now?" ”

"Don't worry, don't I, I'm here?"

As soon as the words fell, I stepped on the breeze and landed on the court from mid-air, at this moment, the clothes on my body had been changed into a white and flawless plain clothes, and I was still holding an uneaten meat bun in my hand.

"I said, Miss Xue, why did you go and wait until this moment came to the bone?" Seeing me coming, Taifu Ling's frowning brow finally relaxed.

I shrugged my shoulders and said with a hippie smile: "I didn't do anything, I just took a hot bath, changed into clean clothes and bought a few buns, and I didn't let everyone wait long, right?" ”

"Miss Xue's heart is quite big, huh" Taifu Ling was embarrassed for a while, laughed a few times awkwardly, and said: "Okay, since you brought all the people here, do you mean that the murderer is among these people?" ”

As soon as these words came out, these people in the restaurant, spring building, and antique shops were all shocked, and they knelt on the ground one after another, shouting and screaming.

"Lord Taifu Ling, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with us, your lord must be aware of everything!"

"Yes, yes, our restaurant and that Zhang Sheng have no grievances, the murderer is definitely not us, please enlighten me!"

"Smack!" Taifu Ling's hand fell in shock, his eyes widened angrily, and he shouted: "Above the public court, how can you be allowed to make a loud noise?!" Now you haven't said who the murderer is, what are you anxious about! ”

"What Lord Taifu Ling said is right, the clean will clean themselves, we will not wronged any good person, let alone let the murderer go unpunished."

I swallowed the uneaten bun in my hand, and then my eyes scanned everyone's body, and finally landed on the body of the old bustard in the spring building.

"Old bustard, I think you should explain why there is a secret room in that geisha Wanyi's room, and why there is a strange poison in the Western Regions - Luo Yansha in that secret room?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone present turned their eyes on the old bustard in the green building.

The old bustard only felt a cold neck, and the whole person knelt on the ground, trembling: "I... I don't know, I don't know anything! It was Wanyi's room, how would I know there was a secret room inside! ”

"You don't know?" I glanced up at her, pulled a chair and sat down: "As far as I know, three months ago, your Pearl Tower underwent a major construction, if I guess correctly, when was that secret room built?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the old bustard's face turned pale, and he only felt that his whole body was heavy, and the whole person felt a feeling of being out of breath, and he was speechless for a long time, which just explained everything.

While arranging my sleeves, I pointed to the unconscious sloppy man, and said lightly: "When I first went to Mingzhu Tower to investigate, I thought you had something to hide, and now it seems that most of the things you are hiding are related to him, right?" Who are you, and how could he stay in that secret room? ”

"I, I...... I don't know anything, Taifu Ling Lord must be the master of the small people! The old bustard stammered, his eyes rolled, and then he looked at Taifu Ling with a panicked face.

Taifu Ling snorted coldly, slapped the shocked wood hard, and shouted: "Be bold and make up the people!" What is your relationship with this person, don't recruit it quickly! ”

"Let me do it for her." I waved my hand, watched the old bustard speak slowly, and said: "This person is your distant cousin, surnamed Wang Minglin, who came to Mingzhulou half a year ago to do chores, and then he followed a group of darts to the Western Regions, and never came back after that." ”

When Taifu Ling heard this, he habitually touched his nose in the wine trough, and said with a puzzled expression: "I have heard about this matter in this house, but is it related to this case?" ”

I nodded, pointed to the man who looked like a down-and-out beggar, and said, "Of course it's related, because he is Wang Lin who disappeared after going to the Western Regions, and he is also the murderer behind this whole case!" Am I right? Aunt Wang. ”

Sensing my gaze, the old bustard raised his head violently, and in shock, his hands unconsciously clenched the corners of his clothes: "You...... How do you know this! ”

"Coincidentally, when I went to buy steamed buns just now, I learned about these things from the owner of the steamed bun shop by casually asking, and then combined them with the clues I found, so I came to this conclusion."

In fact, the old bustard's distant cousin, Wang Lin, returned to Jingzhou from the Western Regions three years ago, and also brought back a large batch of ground Luoyan sand powder.

Because of improper reprinting, some of the scattered falling swallow sand powder was inhaled into his body, which also made his spirit sometimes abnormal and uncontrollable, like a madman.

Because she didn't want Wang Lin to be arrested by the government, Aunt Wang secretly built a secret room for him under the guise of building the Pearl Tower.

"But what does this have to do with Zhang Sheng's death?" Taifu Ling is a little incomprehensible.

"Don't worry, my lord, I'm not done yet." I drank all the tea on the table, continued to reason, and said: "The top geisha in the Pearl Building, born with the appearance of a captivating city, Wang Lin is doing chores in the Pearl Building, looking up and not looking down, and after a long time, he naturally has a heart of admiration. ”

And the deceased Zhang Sheng was a well-known street slicker, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling on weekdays, and doing all kinds of evil.

Three months ago, when Wang Lin came back from the Western Regions, he happened to bump into Zhang Sheng who was molesting the geisha Wanyi, so he became murderous.

"So they gave Zhang Sheng the kind of poison called Luoyansha, and made him a madman, who came to smash my antiques, and wanted to get rid of Zhang Sheng with my hand?!" The money shopkeeper of the Tongyuan antique store was angry at this time, staring closely at the old bustard in the Qinglou, and there seemed to be a flame gushing out of his eyes.

"Hahahaha, yes, I just want you to take the blame, who knew that your old thing was so useless, since he let the brute run away, in the end I have to do it myself!"

At this moment, a hoarse and gloomy voice sounded in the public hall, and the unconscious Wang Linqian opened his eyes, got up from the ground, and laughed wildly, laughing like a ghost.

Taifu Ling was in a trance, and his body unconsciously fell backwards, and the master on the side hurriedly supported him, and the officials on the side also surrounded Wang Lin at this time.

"You, you, Zhang Sheng really killed you?!" Taifu Ling's voice trembled a little, in the face of such a terrifying murderer, even as a Fang Fu Yin, he was a little lacking in confidence at this time.

"Yes! I killed it! Wang Lin admitted it directly, and then stared at Taifu Ling with his eyes: "It's all because you, a dog official, know that he does all kinds of evil, but still let him go, Wanyi will be defiled by him, it's all because of you!" ”

In the end, his eyes were already bloodshot, and he actually pounced on the Taifu Ling on the high seat.

I saw that the Taifu Ling rolled his eyes, and he was frightened and fainted on the spot, the whole person was crooked on the high chair, and the master on the side was also trembling with fright at this moment, shouting: "Take it!" Take him down! ”

Several officials stepped forward and blocked Wang Lin with sticks, and hit him on the knee with another stick, making it impossible for him to take a step forward.
