Speaking of this, Li Tao held out a wreath of flowers as if by magic and put it on Cheng Jiao's head.

Cheng Jiao's eyes flashed with joy, and she raised her face obediently, a string of pale white flowers covered her forehead, and her beautiful face suddenly became strange and extraordinary. The laurel tree planted next to her boudoir shows how much she loves this flower. Li Tao saw that she was shy and pretty, as if she was drunk and awake, delicate and incomprehensible, she couldn't help but feel a flutter, held her soft little hand, and praised: "People and flowers are fragrant." ”

Cheng Jiao was taken aback, pulled his hand and threw his hand towards Li Tao, and said angrily: "You...... Do not think that you can be inferior to me by suffering for me. ”

Li Tao seemed to be accustomed to it, and avoided it with a smile: "Okay, let's clear the two." Now let's talk about serious things, what is the result of your meeting with Cui Wenli? ”

Cheng Jiao calmed down her chaotic mind and said, "I was looking for you precisely for this reason, and when I saw someone in your room, I didn't say anything." Mrs. Yongyi was killed, and Xiao Cheng was suspected of dereliction of duty, so he did not arrange a thick burial by the Hou Mansion, but returned the body to his family and took him back to his hometown. ”

Li Tao was greatly deflated when he heard this, and thought about trying to perform an autopsy for Xiao Cheng again, it was already difficult, but fortunately, Xiao Cheng was killed mysteriously, as well as the four jailers of Jingzhao Yin Mansion, so he had to ask Chen Shi to ask, there would not be no one buried in Chang'an City, right?

Thinking of this, Li Tao comforted her and said, "It's okay, I'll think of another way, I'll work hard for you." ”

Cheng Jiao seemed to want to say something, but she stopped talking until Li Tao stepped on the stairs, she finally couldn't help it, and said loudly: "You be more careful, when you sleep at night, remember to latch the door." ”

Li Tao looked back and smiled: "Got it." You take care of yourself too. ”

The drunken spring building under the twilight was brilliant, and the girls and guys were busy with their own work, no different from usual. They didn't know what Li Tao had happened to him today, and they didn't know that behind the prosperity, there was an undercurrent and an undercurrent surging, and this place full of laughter was quietly falling into a terrible nightmare.

Li Tao had dinner, went back to the room to rest, and pushed the door open. saw Li Bai circling around in the room.

"I heard that the king of the county is in danger?" Li Bai asked with concern.

Li Tao recounted the encounter.

Li Bai was not immersed in the scene, let alone really felt the horror of that face, but only out of consideration for Li Tao's safety. He said: "People are easy to provoke, but ghosts are not easy to provoke, why don't you let the master protect the county king in secret?" ”

Li Tao pondered for a long time and muttered: "If that guy is a murderer today." His ability to disguise himself must be very skillful. What's especially powerful is that he can imitate women's voices. Also, some people have seen Pei Feng wandering, Cui Wenli has been in close contact with her, and they all say that her dress, and even the ornaments she wears, are exactly the same as Pei Feng when she was buried, it is not that the murderer has entered the Qianling. Stolen these things? ”

He paused, then looked up sharply. "You think we're going to have to make a trip to the Imperial Tomb!"

Li Bai was taken aback: "What are you doing in the imperial mausoleum?" ”

Li Tao said: "Of course I'm looking for clues, is it going in hide and seek?" ”

After Li Bai left, Li Tao remembered Cheng Jiao's warning, so he bolted the door and fell asleep.

The moon goes from the treetops to the middle of the sky, and the drunken spring building goes from lively to deserted, only the chirping cicadas of that summer night are still noisy. Li Tao, who was asleep, looked serene, and temporarily bid farewell to the troubles and calculations of the world, he did not know that a danger was quietly approaching.

It was a man in black with a sharp blade, barely making a sound from the moment he flicked the latch to the moment he stood in front of the bed. Glancing at Li Tao, who was snoring like thunder, a gloomy smile appeared on his face, and he slowly raised his knife and slashed down. Unexpectedly, Li Tao opened his eyes steeply, held his wrist holding the knife, clamped his legs around his waist, twisted hard, and the two of them both rolled to the ground.

The man in black panicked and slashed at Li Taomian's door. Li Tao turned his head sideways to avoid it, pressed the blade of the knife with his right hand, and struck a heavy blow on his shoulder with his left hand. The man in black snorted, so he had to abandon the knife, kicked his feet on the ground, slid more than a foot away, and turned over on the windowsill. Li Tao was unwilling to let him go, pounced on him, grabbed his legs, and was about to pull him down. As soon as the man in black leaned over, he suddenly let out a wail like a beast, turned his head, and opened his mouth to bite Li Tao's neck.

Li Tao was shocked, and hurriedly reached out to clamp his throat, and stretched out his arms, so that he couldn't get close. The man in black was like crazy, staring at a pair of blood-red eyes, his teeth were clucking, and he couldn't wait to swallow Li Taosheng alive. Li Tao was about to strengthen himself, but he saw that the black-clothed man's neck was weak and he suffocated to death.

Li Tao threw his body on the ground, wiped his cold sweat, and looked at his face in shock, and found that there were two more red blood spots on his forehead. Li Tao rushed to the window and looked around, the garden was quiet, and there was not even a ghost. He had to go back in a huff and touch the man in black, but there was nothing.

Li Tao pondered for a long time, his mind suddenly moved, and he remembered something. He carried the body of the man in black out of the window, landed in the garden, walked quickly to Cheng Jiao's attic, picked up a stone, and hit the window with a "snap".

After a while, the window opened, Cheng Jiao looked around, and saw that it was Li Tao who was doing the blame, so he said with a cold face: "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

Li Tao smiled: "Yes, so I came to you for treatment." ”

Cheng Jiaoliu's eyebrows straightened, and she suddenly caught a glimpse of a corpse on the ground, and couldn't help but be surprised, and ran down and opened the door. She stood in front of the door sleepily in her bedgown, like a small flower blooming on a summer night.

Li Tao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was fine, dragged the body into the building, rubbed his hands and said, "I was attacked again!" Thanks to your reminder, I bolted the door, and his clever way of pulling the latch did not escape my ears. ”

Cheng Jiao didn't dare to look at the corpse, and her eyes fell on Li Tao's face, "In your room?" ”

Li Tao nodded and said, "I could have caught him alive, but I didn't expect him to have an accomplice hiding outside and shooting him with a hidden weapon." ”

"They actually do whatever they want in Zuichun Building? This...... It's horrible! Cheng Jiao was stunned.

Li Tao said with a solemn face: "In the Drunken Spring Building, there may be a spy hidden. ”

"Won't it?" Cheng Jiaoxiu frowned slightly, "Most of the guys here have followed my father for many years, and besides, they don't know martial arts." ”

Li Tao sighed: "I hope so, but you better beware." ”

Cheng Jiao nodded and said, "Well, I'll check it secretly." ”

Li Tao glanced at the corpse, and the two small holes on the drawing talisman came to mind again: "Tomorrow, we will go to the Criminal Department, and then look at the drawing talisman of Xiao Cheng and the jailer, and by the way, ask the people from the Criminal Department to examine this corpse." ”

Cheng Jiao was about to agree, but when she saw him turn around and walk, she hurriedly said, "Hey, take the body away." ”

Li Tao said: "There are many people in front, seeing that I am carrying a corpse, are you still shocked?" Maybe there are some rumors that have affected the business of Zuichun Building, and I can't afford it. ”

Squinted at Cheng Jiao, and smiled secretly in her heart, Mo said that she was a little girl, so she changed to herself, leaving a corpse by her side, and she didn't want to close her eyes this night. (To be continued......)
