In the dilapidated courtyard, under the old willows, the six fingers of Xing who were lying on his back on the snow had lost his breath, the snow under his body was soaked in blood and stained red, and his eyes were still staring at himself, looking at the clear sky.

I don't know how many people in the world want to eat his flesh alive and curse him for not dying, but he didn't expect that he finally died under his own knife, killing him with a knife, and he didn't suffer any crime.

Xu Mingyuan held the beautiful and delicate wood carving in his hand, frowning slightly, and was a little puzzled why he was familiar with the young woman carved in wood.

Hearing Xu Mingyuan's words, Wuya came back to his senses, looked carefully at the wood carving in Xu Mingyuan's hand, and said after a while: "This is Mrs. Xie." ”

"Mrs. Xie?" Xu Mingyuan thought lightly, but he didn't know who this person was.

Seeing that Xu Mingyuan didn't know, Wuya also opened his mouth to explain: "Mrs. Xie is Mr. Xu's wife, and she was also a strange woman who moved the world back then. ”

Hearing this, Xu Mingyuan nodded slightly, looking at the woman carved by the wood carving in his hand, delicate and cute, and there was no loss of heroism between his eyebrows and eyes, which made him want to praise the six fingers of the punishment.

But I don't know what kind of grudge the six fingers have with Mr. Xu, the surname Xu he said before he died should be Mr. Xu who founded the Yuntai Division back then, and he is dying to finish carving this wood, it seems that he also has a deep obsession with Mrs. Xie.

"You go inside and see if there are any useful clues, I'll lay it out." Wuya looked at Leng Ye and Chu Yue and said, and he walked towards the six fingers of Xing who were lying on the ground.

Xu Mingyuan looked at Lao Lei and Wuya arranging the corpses of the six fingers of torture, while Leng Ye and Chu Yue walked towards the house, each opened the door and entered a room, while he stood still and did not walk around.

Today, I originally wanted to pry out Yang Xiao's news from Xing Liuzhi's mouth, but I didn't expect that there would be such a grudge between Wuya and Xing Liuzhi, so Xing Liuzhi knew that there was no way to live. Directly gave himself a knife.

The old-timers in the Qinglong are dead, this is not a trivial matter, if the people of the Qinglong find out a few of them, I am afraid that even Chen Qiao will not be able to protect them.

However, Suzaku has always focused on gathering intelligence, and has arranged the scene in a different way to lead the truth of death to other places. For them, it's not a difficult thing at all.

Xu Mingyuan is not good at doing these things, so he simply doesn't get involved, but Yang Xiao's clues are broken like this, which makes things a little troublesome, and now we can only see if Leng Ye and Chu Yue can find some useful clues.

A quarter of an hour later, the corpse of the six fingers of torture, lying on the ground in a different position, had an additional sword wound on its back, as if it had been assassinated. It just pierced the wound he had pierced with a thin knife earlier.

Chu Yue and Leng Ye also walked out of the room, carefully removing the footprints on the snow, Chu Yue was holding a half-torn piece of paper in his hand, and Leng Ye was holding a half-carved wood carving without a face.

Xu Mingyuan took half of the paper in Chu Yue's hand, and some words were scribbled on it, but the upper part had been torn off, and there were only a few sentences left. It's a simple word to report peace.

In the end, there is no signature, but an address is written. Peace Square, Xingfeng Inn.

Xu Mingyuan handed the piece of paper to Wuya, and instead took the wood carving that Leng Ye was holding in his hand. This wood carving without a carved face is somewhat similar to the wood carving that Xu Mingyuan originally held in his hand, but the clothes are a little different, just like a person who has changed clothes. It seems that this wood carving is also Mrs. Xie.

Leng Ye looked at Xu Mingyuan and said, "That room is full of this kind of wood carving, there are as many as two or three hundred. ”

Wuya put away the half of the paper in his hand. nodded and said: "Let's go there, look at the tone on this letter, it should be written by Yang Xiao undoubtedly, go out separately, and go directly to Xingfeng Inn to gather." ”

Naturally, everyone had no opinion. Leng Ye and Chu Yue had already climbed over the wall and walked out of the courtyard first.

Xu Mingyuan looked at the two wood carvings in his hand, and he didn't know what to think, so he put the two wood carvings away, nodded at Wuya, and climbed over the wall and walked out of the courtyard.

Wuya and Lao Lei cleaned up the traces inside again, and after confirming that there were no omissions, they left the small courtyard together.

When Xu Mingyuan walked out of the small courtyard, he walked along the alley to the right, while Lao Lei and Wuya walked in the opposite direction.

Xu Mingyuan saw Yi on the road, nodded at him, and walked out along the alley together, if there were pedestrians on the road, they avoided it, and no one took a look.

Xu Mingyuan briefly told Yi what had happened in the Sixth Finger Courtyard before, and after leaving this alley, he asked Yi to go back and drive the carriage first.

Xu Mingyuan walked slowly along the long street with no people alone, holding the wood carving in his hand, and always felt as if he had seen this Mrs. Xie somewhere, but he didn't have any impression, which couldn't help but make him a little irritable.

Regarding Mr. Xu's affairs, Xu Mingyuan knew a lot from Wuya during this time, and Wuya had been in the Yuntai Division for more than 20 years, although he didn't have much contact with Mr. Xu at the beginning, but he naturally knew more than he heard a few words from Qi Haobo.

According to Wuya, Mr. Xu and His Majesty were friends before he ascended the throne, and it is rumored that the Taishi had two disciples, one was the current saint, and the other was Mr. Xu.

However, no one has come forward to prove this matter, and Mr. Xu has never mentioned it, so it is just a rumor that can be trusted or not.

And twenty-five years ago, His Majesty ascended the throne and rectified Chang'an, and the Yuntai Division took advantage of the situation and became the sharpest knife in the hands of the new emperor, cutting off those restless hands.

In addition to those who wanted to support the prince and planned to rebel, there were also many people who wanted to take advantage of the new emperor's accession to the throne, Chang'an was unstable, and fished in troubled waters.

It was as if the Yuntai Division had been erected in one day, and all the people who entered the ordinary but not ordinary courtyard almost didn't know each other, but they all knew Mr. Xu, because he brought them to that courtyard.

Then the four rooms of Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu were established, and the ownership of all the people was determined by Mr. Xu, and the next day the accounts began to be collected.

The head is cut to the blade, and the prince is waiting for the prince to the ground, isn't it happy!

Since that winter, the name of Yuntai Division has moved Chang'an, and Mr. Xu has become the most mentioned person in Chang'an that year.

Everyone of the people boasted and praised, and the princes and nobles secretly cursed.

And the people of Yuntai Division think that he is a gentle gentleman, who does not dare to rebel and should be respected.

However, two years later, Mr. Xu left Chang'an, and he thought that Mrs. Xie should also leave with him, and there was no news of Mr. Xu's deeds since then.

Now seeing this wood carving of Mrs. Xie, Xu Mingyuan's heart is a little unable to let go, and there is a strange feeling in the dark, he wants to grasp it but can't grasp it.

With a light breath, Xu Mingyuan put the wood carving in his arms and stood still on the side of the street, waiting for Yi. (To be continued.) )
