The two of them were so frightened that they stopped standing still, Qian Xuanxuan stared at them and asked, "Who hired your brothers to kill Han Dongjun, don't be afraid, I am a guard in the palace, look at your two strength, what do you usually do?" If I can confess everything, I can lead you two to work in the palace, not only without worrying about food and clothing, but also ensuring that your personal safety is not violated in any way. ”

The two of them looked around, and one of them said, "The third child, you know more than me, so it's up to you to answer him, I don't think they are bad people." ”

The person who called the third child stared at Qian Xuanxuan and asked, "You said that you are a guard in the palace, what do you use to prove your identity?" Why should I believe you? ”

Han Zhongquan interrupted: "Believe it or not, his name is Qian Xuanxuan, and he has been a guard in the palace for many years, if you don't believe it, you can go outside to inquire!" ”

Qian Xuanxuan said calmly: "It seems that you are still quite cautious, I will take out the token to show you to prove my identity, you should always tell us everything!" He then took the token out of his sleeve and handed it to him.

The third child took the token and looked at it carefully, and handed it to the fourth child casually, and the fourth child said after reading it: "It's really a token in the palace, the third child, you can tell them the truth!" ”

The third child whispered: "Close the gate of the courtyard tightly, in case the partition wall has ears, let's just go upstairs and talk!" ”

Han Zhongqui closed the courtyard door, and the four of them went upstairs and sat down.

The third child said slowly: "The fourth brother and I are brothers, usually kill pigs as a business, parents died early, the second elder sister is the elder sister, has already married, the two sisters married to a distant place, never go back to their parents' house to see us." Our brothers and I have depended on each other since childhood, growing up by asking for food, and then learning to kill pigs to survive, and we don't know how old we are. Suddenly in the morning, a masked woman came to our pork shop and said that she wanted to give us a chance to make money, and I asked her what kind of money she was making? Said to help her kill a murderer who killed her relatives. Ask her who she killed? She said it was Han Dongjun, a member of our neighboring village. I asked him why he wanted to kill him? She said that Han Dongjun killed her uncle and cousin in Qionglong City, and she wanted to avenge her cousin and return her life. killed Han Dongjun, carried Han Dongjun's head to see her in the Houshan Temple, and she gave us 10,000 taels of silver. When we heard about the 10,000 taels of silver, we agreed to her task without thinking about the consequences, and came here with a pork knife. You two must have heard the conversation between our brothers later, and I won't repeat it. ”

Qian Xuanxuan nodded and said, "Yes, we heard it." Can you see her appearance clearly? Did she say her cousin's name? Whether this woman's voice is slender, or rough, delicate, or sissy, or rich mezzo-soprano, etc., you might as well recall it seriously and then tell me, so that we can comprehensively weigh it and promote the investigation of the case. ”

She has been wearing a black scarf and a black cloth on her head, so she can't see her appearance clearly, but a pair of Danfeng eyes are quite big, flickering and clever. She kept talking about her cousin, but she didn't say the name of the deceased, nor did she say where she was from or where she was in the house? Although the fourth child asked three times, she still kept silent, and we had to give up. As for the voice, sometimes it is a slender bass, like a yellow bird's call, and sometimes it is a rich mezzo-soprano. ”

Han Zhongqui wondered if it would be Qian Laowu's family's Ding Qian Wei? The two of them looked at the silent Han Zhongqui, and hurriedly asked, "Do you two know who the deceased is, but you don't dare to speak out for fear of implicating yourself?" ”

Qian Xuanxuan shook his head and said, "I don't know like you. Judging by the appearance, you two have good strength, are you willing to be a butcher in the palace? ”

The third child asked, "What is a butcher?" Let's talk about what to do. ”

Han Zhong Quinoa stepped forward and said: "A butcher is a person who slaughters livestock or organizes livestock meat for sale, and also refers to a meat seller. It means that you brothers are asked to go to the palace to kill pigs, chickens, ducks, dogs and other animals, whether you are willing to think about it. If you don't go to the palace, you can weigh up for yourself whether your personal safety can be guaranteed when you return home. ”

The fourth child hurriedly said: "We can't kill Han Dongjun, that masked woman won't let us go, it's better to go to the palace to be safe." There is nothing valuable at home, and the broken house is handed over to the neighbor's aunt to take care of. ”

The third child hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are what you two said true?" Shall we go to the palace now? Is there a place to eat and sleep? ”

Qian Xuanxuan said loudly: "Of course there is!" Eating and sleeping is the most basic need of life, so why not? As long as you two are willing to enter the palace, I will take you there. ”

The fourth child said happily: "Okay, my brothers sometimes eat the last meal but don't have the next meal, and there is no thick quilt in winter, so I don't have to worry about having no food to eat and no quilt cover." ”

Qian Xuanxuan looked at the simple fourth child, thinking that maybe he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and the third child was at most in his twenties, why did that woman hire a butcher to kill Han Dongjun? What does that mean? Pending further investigation and verification, is it related to the Datang sword theft case?

Han Zhongquan stared at Qian Xuanxuan and asked: "Cousin, either let's go to the palace, it seems that Han Dongjun has gone far away, I don't know when I will go home, I am waiting here alone and have palpitations." ”

Suddenly, I heard the third child shouting: "Someone is knocking on the door downstairs, you go and see who is coming, the door is blocked with wood, and the latch is also pushed up." ”

Han Zhongquan hurriedly went downstairs, ran to the front yard, and heard Han Dongjun say, "Who is inside?" I locked the door, but now the latch is being pushed shut? "E-book bar

"It's me, wait a minute." Han Zhongquan hurriedly opened the door.

When he opened the door, he saw Han Donglang being supported by a stranger, and his clothes were covered with blood, so he was so frightened that he asked loudly, "Who are you?" I think I've seen it somewhere, but why are you hurt? ”

Han Dongjun waved his hand and said, "Help him in and talk about it!" ”

Several people returned home, and the people upstairs came downstairs, Qian Xuanxuan looked at Han Donglang and asked, "You are Han Donglang, who kidnapped and injured you." ”

Han Donglang sat on the stool and said weakly: "Are you Qian Xuanxuan, the cousin of Han Zhongquio?" Thanks to this herb picker, who saved me, if he hadn't found me, I would have starved to death in a small hut on the mountain. My captors didn't want to stab me to death, they just wanted me to starve to death in a hut. As for who my kidnapper is, although I have suspicions, it needs to be further investigated and verified, and I can't talk nonsense to you until I find conclusive evidence. Han Dongjun, can you help me boil the pot of soup, the smell of blood and sweat is mixed together, I feel uncomfortable, I am going to take a bath. ”

Han Dongjun said heartily: "Someone has boiled water for you, don't worry." ”

"Oh, can you lend me a change of clothes?"

"I've sent someone to your house to get your clothes."

Han Donglang glared at Dongjun and asked in surprise: "What, Han Zhongquan and Qian Xuanxuan are both in front of me, you have so many people, where did you come from?" ”

Han Zhongqui said nervously: "I'm afraid that you will be scared out of your body when you say it." ”

Han Donglang asked suspiciously: "I was just rescued from the death line, what's so scary?" Isn't that the one who came to assassinate me again? ”

Han Dongjun laughed and said, "It's not to assassinate you, it's me." Han Zhongquan just told me that there is a masked woman who hired two butchers, be sure to stab me to death today, carry my head to see the masked woman, and reward 10,000 taels of silver, it just so happened that I went out to save you, and was bumped into by Han Zhongquan and Qian Xuanxuan, and did the ideological work of the two people, and confessed everything, the two of them are siblings, and promised to go to the palace to be butchers, and I am afraid of accidents when I go home. ”

Han Donglang said depressedly: "It's a masked woman again, why do you want to end our lives?" The person who kidnapped me is also a masked woman, who is this person, I don't know if it belongs to the same woman, we must investigate. After kidnapping me, you hired a killer to kill you, and it was related to the murder and sword theft in the Dome City. ”

Han Dongjun nodded and said, "There is no doubt that there must be a connection." Luckily, you didn't hurt your bones, you just toe and skin wounds, and it seems that the person who beat you was just warning you, not really asking for your life. Shut you up in a thatched hut on the hill, and the intention is to leave you to fend for yourself, and see your own creation! If you don't find out in the medicine picker, you'll be in trouble. It's really auspicious, you were kidnapped in the morning and were rescued, you are blessed with a great life. ”

Han Donglang smiled bitterly: "It seems that there will be blessings in the future if you don't die in a big disaster, maybe I will meet Han Chenxing and I will meet each other." When I was locked in the thatched hut, I don't know why my mind was full of cold morning stars, and I didn't want to think about her, but she always jumped out coldly to disturb me, you say, is this a sign that she is coming back? ”

Han Dongjun glared at him and said, "You always think about her in your heart!" Either go to the Temple of Mercy and Grace tomorrow to have a look, and maybe you will come back, you two often have a little understanding, maybe the fate is close. ”

Han Zhongqui, who was standing on the side, interrupted and said: "The fourth child shouted to take a bath in the dining hall, and the third child seems to be back when he went to get his clothes, Han Donglang will go to take a bath first!" Don't stick the soup on the wound, and rub some Yunnan Baiyao after washing. ”

Han Donglang looked at Han Zhongli and asked, "I know, I feel a little scared, can you accompany me to take a bath, you must be careful." ”

Han Zhongquan asked in surprise: "You are in Han Dongjun's house, we are all here, what's so scary?" Hurry up and take a shower! ”

Han Dongjun hurriedly said: "Han Donglang's worries are understandable, after all, the third and fourth are unknown, and he has just experienced a life-and-death matter, and the fear in his heart still exists, you can accompany him to take a bath, I have something to discuss with Qian Xuanxuan." ”

After Han Zhongqui helped Han Donglang to the bathhouse, Han Dongjun and Qian Xuanxuan went upstairs to discuss important matters.

Han Dongjun sat down after making tea for Qian Xuanxuan, stared at him and asked solemnly, "Are you really Han Zhongqui's cousin?" Is it really the palace guard of the dynasty? Are you really willing to help us investigate the case? ”
