Xia Xue took two black-clothed guards and galloped on horseback to the county lieutenant Shao Wen's home in the north of the city, she was worried that the upright county lieutenant Shao would also be killed.

When I arrived at Shao County's house, I found that the courtyard door was closed, and after knocking on the door, I heard the sound of the crutches "clicking" on the ground, and Xia Xue's hanging heart fell.

The courtyard door opened, and the county lieutenant Shao Wen looked at Xia Xue in surprise, "It turned out to be Lord Li, you got up so early!" ”

"I have something to ask Lieutenant Shao, do you know Xiucai Du Lian?"

"Oh, Du Xiucai, know, know. I have been to his house during the day before, far away from my house, by the lotus pond in the south of the city, the scenery is good, but it is not very quiet, and the frogs in the water often call desperately, very noisy. I was a quiet man, and then I didn't go much. Du Xiucai is a good person, why, does Master Li also know Du Xiucai? ”

"Well, Du Xiucai is indeed a good person, he often praises you in front of me, saying that you are the only good official in the county government of Qingyuan County."

"Hehe, ashamed, ashamed! Where am I as good as he says? Lord Li, please go to the humble house for a cup of tea, talk while drinking, and let the adults stand outside the door all the time, what a rudeness! After Shao Wen made a gesture of please, he walked to the inner room on crutches, Xia Xue asked two black-clothed guards to guard the door, pay attention to vigilance, and followed one person inside.

Walking into Shao Wen's humble living room, I saw a game of Go on a wooden table in the middle of the living room, with a brass bowl on each side, holding black and white pieces. On the left is a small white teacup with no handle, steaming hot, and it looks like freshly brewed tea. There are chairs on the left and right sides.

Shao Wen invited Xia Xue to sit down on the chair on the right side of the table, and then got up on crutches and took the same white handleless delicate teacup from the bedroom, which seemed to be the same set of tea sets. Through the exquisite tea set, it can be seen that Shao Wen likes to drink tea very much.

Shao Wen personally made a cup of tea and served it respectfully, Xia Xue hurriedly caught it and motioned for him to sit down quickly, "Lieutenant Shao, you have an injury on your leg, don't be busy, I'm worried about your safety, come and see you, and I'll leave in a while." ”

"Thank you, Master Li, for your concern. I'm used to working on crutches, and I'm still cooking with crutches, it's okay, it's okay, no matter how urgent I am, I have to let the adults drink a cup of tea before leaving, otherwise it's too rude. ”

"Lieutenant Shao, you actually know how to play Go?" Xia Xue looked at the Go remnants on the table and asked in surprise.

"Where, where, chess skills are very poor, it's just a person who is bored to entertain and kill time." Shao Wen said modestly.

Xia Xue picked up the teacup and was about to sip, when she suddenly saw a short knife hanging on the wall opposite the living room, the scabbard was very gorgeous, she was not curious, and praised:

"I came in a hurry last time, and it was already evening, and the light was dim, so I didn't see such a delicate and gorgeous treasure knife hanging on your wall."

Shao Wen saw that Xia Xue liked it, so he took the treasure knife from the wall with a cane, sent it to Xia Xue to watch, and then returned to his seat and picked up the teacup and drank slowly.

Xia Xue gently pulled out the treasure knife with her hand, and the blade flashed, especially the cold light.

"Good knives!" Xia Xue watched it carefully and exclaimed.

"This is the treasure knife handed down from my ancestors......" Shao Wen's eyes flashed, his words were choked, and he sighed: "Please be silent in the air, and the name behind you is lonely." Grandfather's late life was depressed and indescribable. ”

Xia Xue sighed for a long time: "Seeing things and thinking about people, how emotional." ”

Xia Xue saw that Shao Wen had a sad face, but she just sat silently drinking tea, and it was not appropriate to arouse sadness, so she sent the treasure knife back to Shao Wen and changed the topic: "Chai Gui, the shopkeeper of Baicaotang Pharmacy, should be familiar with Shao County, right?" ”

"Familiar, what's wrong with Chai Gui?" After Shao Wen took the treasure knife, he stood up on crutches and hung the knife on the left wall again, seeing that Xia Xue's tea had been drunk, he filled Xia Xue's cup with freshly brewed tea.

Xia Xue thanked and said in a deep voice: "The shopkeeper of Baicaotang Pharmacy hanged himself last night. ”

"What?" Shao Wen was shocked.

"I suspect I was murdered."

"Well, there's a possibility."

"Du Lian and Du Xiucai were also killed last night." Xia Xue said heavily.

"What!" Shao Wen's mouth opened wide in shock.

"I was also attacked by someone pretending to be a ghost last night, but fortunately my life is fine."

"Ahh What kind of people, so rampant? Dare to attack the imperial officials? Shao Wen was shocked.

"Who else can there be other than Thunder Quaint at the moment?" Xia Xue said indignantly.

"This Lei Zhentian is too lawless, this time he must be brought to justice!" Shao Wen was also indignant.

Xia Xue's eyes were deep: "Since this official arrived in Qingyuan County, although he tried his best to hide his identity, there were people who calculated the interests and disadvantages at every step and planned countermeasures. Just like this chess game, the two are pressing forward step by step, to the point of exhaustion. Shao Xianwei seems to have reached the juncture of this game of chess at the moment. ”

Shao Wen's eyebrows trembled slightly: "Hehe, it turns out that Master Li is here to play chess with me today, I feel very bored playing alone, and now with Master Li, a chess friend, I won't be lonely and bored." ”

Xia Xue listened expressionlessly, watched the chess game on the coffee table, and said in a deep voice: "I have taken many detours, and now I have finally found the real culprit behind the scenes." ”

"The real murderer behind the scenes? May I ask Master Li, the real culprit behind the scenes is not Lei Zhentian, is there someone else? Shao Wen was surprised.

Xia Xue's eyes pierced like ice needles, and her voice did not carry any warmth: "The real culprit behind this scene is none other than you County Lieutenant Shao!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Shao Wen suddenly raised his head and laughed: "Lord Li is really not a disgrace to be smart!" Hehe, you guessed it. The real master of Qingyuan County is our Yao Bull Head Gang, not Lei Zhentian, the Zhuang Clan's stupid hat nouveau riche, let alone your corrupt and incompetent imperial court, Lei Zhentian and the government are just pawns of our Niu Head Gang. Lei Zhentian and the county magistrate Feng Qi didn't know that I was the boss of the Bull Head Gang, and they were all wearing Bull Head masks when I met them, and they were all puppets who obeyed my orders. Our Yao people are a nation that chases the sun, we worship the ox and the copper drum, and the bull head copper drum is our totem. Shao Wen suddenly opened the placket in front of Xiong, revealing a tattoo with a bull's head and a copper drum, and said gloomily: "I am the boss of the Niutou Gang in Qingyuan County, and the Niutou Gang was created by me, and I am the real master here." Whoever wants to threaten my rule in Qingyuan County has only a dead end. ”

Xia Xue was surprised, she didn't expect Shao Wen to spread out his hole cards so happily and thoroughly. Caught off guard, I couldn't help but be a little flustered.

"Lord Li is also a figure that I Shao Wen can look up to, I don't know what Lord Li's plans are next?" Shao Wen's words were full of provocation.

Xia Xue's expression was awe-inspiring: "My angel country is a big family where all ethnic groups get along on an equal footing, a country where everyone is equal before the law, and a sovereign country with unified government decrees. ”

"Hahaha, Shao admires Master Li's ambition, but sometimes, victory or defeat does not depend on ambition, but on luck. I'll put this aside for now, I want to ask Master Li something, how did you suspect me? ”

Xia Xue sneered: "First, the frogs in the lotus pond near Du Xiucai's house never bark during the day, but they are very vigilant at night and crow at every turn. I heard you say that the lotus pond is not quiet during the day, and the frogs in the pond are very noisy, so I know that you are lying, you must have been to Du Xiucai's house at night. Second, when I came here, I had already interrogated Lei Zhentian by surprise, and he said that Du Xiucai and the pharmacy shopkeeper Chai Gui were not killed by him, and the evil ghost that attacked me at night was not sent by him, since he did not do it, then there must be someone else. Third, I suspect that Chai Gui, the shopkeeper of Baicaotang Pharmacy, only told you, but he committed suicide last night, is it such a coincidence?

Although I have some doubts about you in my heart, I am still unsure, so I came to probe your tone today, but I didn't expect you to admit it so quickly, haha, this is called not confessing! Shao Wen, you have exhausted all your organs, but Skynet is magnificent and negligent, and now the evidence is ironclad, what else do you have to say now? ”

Shao Wen's expression was indifferent and unfazed: "As soon as the three of you entered Qingyuan County, you were monitored by my people, and your every move couldn't escape my ears and eyes, so you lost at the beginning." ”

Xia Xue smiled slightly: "Your abacus is as good as you want, but now that you have exposed yourself, then you are the final loser in this chess game, and you have no one to live again." Can you beat my blackcoats and the angels? ”

Shao Wen said coldly: "My Bull Gang is indeed not the opponent of your court, it seems that I lost the chess game, but in fact, I am afraid that Lord Li has no one to live." You are clever and clever, but it is a pity that you have died in this little living room of mine. The last time you escaped the Red Loft, this time you can't escape. If you die, no one in the world will know the truth of this passage. Shao Wen raised his head and smiled, "Master Li's heart is hard and clumsy, and there will be an end of time." Later, I will go out and say to the two black-clothed guards you brought, just say that you, Master Li, have suddenly made a heart attack and are incorrigible. The symptoms of your death are that even the doctors can't detect the suspicions, just like the previous county magistrate Yang Dao, the doctors sent by your imperial court can't find out the suspicions, how can your black-clothed guards not believe it? Even if there are unbelievers, there is not a single trace of suspicious evidence. ”

Xia Xue said lightly: "County Lieutenant Shao is really not afraid of being blamed by people." ”

Shao Wen replied with a smile: "Everyone has stepped on the Nai He Bridge, and there are still many hearts to care about me." ”

"What does Captain Shao mean, I am going to die today?"

"I see that you have drunk this tea for a long time, and at this moment there should be a faint pain in your stomach, and it should be hot and hot." Shao Wen's smile did not retreat, and suddenly saw Xia Xue slowly put down the teacup, stood up and walked to the window to look into the distance.

The gloomy clouds on the horizon pressed lower and lower, and against the background of the foggy clouds in the sky, her tall and slender figure became more and more flexible and powerful, and her handsome face was expressionless, as if she was contemplating, as if she was only breathing and breathing, and she didn't think about anything. However, the calm before the storm was always short-lived, and after only a moment, she slowly turned around and looked at Shao Wendao calmly: "Lieutenant Shao, it's a pity that my tea has been drunk by you." Your tea is in this bowl of chess pieces. ”

Shao Wen looked down at a brass bowl beside him, found that the chess pieces were wet, and exclaimed, "When did Master Li mix tea?" ”

Xia Xue's voice was light and had a hint of banter: "When you go to the wall to get the treasure knife." I suspect there's something wrong with this tea. However, seeing that Shao County Wei Shicai drank it, there is nothing abnormal so far, so it is okay to think about it. ”

Shao Wen was shocked, with green tendons exposed on his forehead, his eyes wide open, and his mouth wide open, revealing two rows of white teeth inlaid with bloody gums. His frightened state was like an orangutan falling into a trap.

Shao Wennai felt fooled and couldn't help but shudder. If you fall into an ice bucket, your whole body will be cold and numb, and you will shiver. His face turned pale, he sweated like a bean, he suddenly had pain in his abdomen, his limbs were numb and weak, his whole body was cold, his heart was cramping, he laughed miserably, he staggered a few steps and fell to the ground, his eyes were wide open, and he couldn't blink to death.

"People have a thousand calculations, and there is a file in the sky." , it's really "the agency is too clever to calculate, and it calculates Qingqing's life!" ”
