After leaving words on the pink wall, Ximen Qing and Wu Song quietly went down to the Mandarin Duck Tower.

The Metropolitan Prison Mansion was quiet under the moonlight, but it was different. Where Ximen Qing and Wu Song had haunted, there was a gloomy dead silence, and the air that had not been filtered by human lungs seemed to gradually become a chaotic piece, and even the moonlight was blocked to the outside, unable to be embedded in the cold silence of its own faction.

In other places, there is a breath of life in the silence, the breath and dreams of people in their sleep, like the dark underwater where a fish spit out bubbles, witnessing that there is still life here.

Standing at the junction of life and death, Ximenqing, who had just seen blood, had such a deep understanding of life at this moment, he glanced at the quiet and silent capital prison mansion, and the towering house seemed to shrink suddenly in an instant, and under his feet it became a Taiji Yin Yang Fish Black and White, White and Black, Yin and Yang Cycle, Life and Death Together.

Wu Song saw that his expression was a little strange, so he asked, "Third brother, where are we going now?" ”

When Ximen Qing listened to the time in the city, it was already four or three o'clock, so he pointed to the east: "Cross slope!" ”

The two brothers left the city from the old road and left on the east road. When he walked to the fifth watch, the sky was hazy and hazy, and it was not yet bright, but Wu Song had worked hard all day, his body was sleepy, and the twenty spinal canes on his back today began to ache faintly, and he looked like he couldn't stand it.

Ximen Qing hugged Wu Song, and when he walked into a forest, he saw a small land temple in front of him, and the two brothers were very happy.

Ximen Qing said: "Second brother, let's rest first before leaving." Wu Song nodded. When he came to the temple and was about to enter it, the warning in his heart suddenly moved, and at the same time he flew backwards, "choking" The double knives came out of the sheath, intertwining a light net in front of him, and after protecting the vital point, Ximenqing shouted: "Who is it?" Come out! ”

Before the words fell, two figures jumped out of the small temple. Ximen Qing and Wu Song breathed a sigh of relief when they saw it, and they both put away their knives and sheathed them. It turned out that the two were Shi En and Ling Han.

Ximenqing sank his face and asked, "You two, why are you here?" Didn't I command you? Guard the door of the house, and don't act rashly. If the villain sees you with us, how many useless tongues do you have to bring to your own house? ”

Shi En hung his head and was scratched, but said: "Brother has taught me a lesson!" ”

Ling Han snorted: "Brother Ximen went to save Second Brother Wu by himself, but asked us to stand by and watch, how can we be happy in our hearts?" Brother Simon, if you want to scold, just scold me, I pulled him hard! ”

When Wu Song took a closer look, he saw that Shi En, like Ling Han, also covered his face with black gauze, hung a bow and arrow around his waist, and held a sword in his hand; Ling Han's whole body was full of knives with flying knives, which made her delicate and delicate look murderous for the first time.

Wu Song couldn't help but smile and said, "Looking at your dress, even if you want to rob the Dharma Field, it's enough!" ”

Ling Han said timidly: "It's not that we can't believe in Brother Ximen's ability, we just want to hide on the road to the cross slope and give the two brothers a response." I didn't expect the two brothers to have good skills, although we didn't say a word, we were still discovered by you! ”

Ximen Qing smiled and said, "That's because the two of you are too close!" That drum heartbeat, three miles away, we heard it! ”

Shi En and Ling Han both blushed when they heard this, Ximen Qing turned around and didn't look at them, but just helped Wu Song and said, "Second brother, let's go!" Go to the temple to rest for a while, and let the two of them give us a lookout. ”

Entering the Land Temple, Ximen Qing accompanied Wu Song to rest for a while, and after recovering a few percent of his spiritual strength, Wu Song got up and said: "This is not a place to stay for a long time, and go to the cross slope first!" Ximen Qing, Shi En, and Ling Han nodded and agreed, and the four of them hurried all the way to the cross slope.

crashed into Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang's shop, and Ximen Qing shouted first: "The hotel is not open, and the guests will starve to death!" ”

As soon as the door curtain was lifted, Sun Erniang's eyebrows were upside down, and she bumped out, and when she saw that the clamor was Ximenqing, she was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Who is my Tao?" It turned out to be the son of Sanqi and the second brother of Wu! Looking at the appearance of the two of you grizzled and dirty-faced blood gourds, there must be something good to do, and let's hear it! ”

Ximenqing saw that Wu Song was sitting in the chair and just shaking, so he said, "Good my sister-in-law of the Zhang family!" Serve us food and eat quickly, and when we are full, we will have the strength to climb the mountain, and we will go to the village to see Brother Zeng! ”

Sun Erniang saw that Ximenqing's face was solemn, and she no longer laughed, a large plate of meat and vegetables were served, and with hot wine, Ximenqing and Wu Song devoured it, and Sun Erniang went to talk to Shi En and Ling Han.

Ximen Qing and Wu Song were full, and their spirits were lifted, and Sun Erniang said: "Why do you two look like this, I heard what Xiao Shi Gongzi and Ling Han said, so I guessed and guessed that I couldn't leave ten." I'm not a safe place here, and let the old money send you into the mountains! ”

All the way over the mountains and mountains, into the village surrounded by the mountains, Wu Song and Ximen Qing were relieved, this time it was completely safe. Seeing Zeng Siqi, the physically and mentally exhausted two polite words, then put forward a request to go to bed, Zeng Siqi introduced them into the guest room, and fell asleep.

Ximen Qing and Wu Song slept here without worry, and there was an uproar in Mengzhou City.

In Zhangdu's prison, there was a family member who got up early to come to the kitchen to touch, but saw two maids tied in the corner of the stove.

At this moment, there was also a noise in the compartment, and when the family member who was in charge of opening the corner door came to open the door, he was taken aback when he saw that the corner door was unloaded and hidden there. When he rushed into the stable, he saw that the back trough of the horse was tied up with a rope and stuffed in the bed, and after being rescued, he didn't know anything with white eyes, but he only said that he was knocked unconscious in a haze, and he didn't see anything, and he didn't hear anything.

Everyone thought that they must have been thieves, so they hurriedly coaxed to report to Zhang Dujian and Mrs., who knew that Mrs. and Miss Young Master were tied in the house with a rope, and even a few personal service maids were stained and made a rice dumpling for the Dragon Boat Festival.

Everyone was shocked, all the way to the Mandarin Duck Tower, all the way to knock on the door of the teachers in the house, but the two roads screamed in unison, and the bloody and miserable corpses were soaked in a pool of blood, which frightened how many people!

At this time, it was the dawn of Tianfu, and while the funeral was being held in the Metropolitan Prison's Mansion, someone was sent to report the case to the prefect's yamen. The prefect listened to Zhang Dujian's murderous letter, and was overjoyed and surprised, happy that Zhang Dujian, who had wiped on his face, had finally suffered retribution, and was shocked that the retribution had also been violent, putting everyone in danger as a corrupt official.

The prefect quickly sent people to check the number of people killed, checked the place where the thieves were haunted, filled in the pattern grid, and came back to report to the prefect: "The murderer first entered the horse yard and tied up a person in the back trough of the horse; went to the ear room downstairs of Mandarin Duck, killed thirteen housekeepers and nursing teachers in Zhang's house, and spared the life of Zhang Tuanlian's housekeeper; Later, the murderer went to the kitchen under the stove and tied up two rings; then went up to the Mandarin Duck Tower, killed one member of Zhang Dujian and two henchmen, and invited the guest officers Zhang Tuanlian and Jiang Menshen; On the white powder wall, the placket is dipped in blood and there is a row of blood words in the big book, 'Dog Butcher Gukou Erlang Shenwu Song, Qinghe Ximen Qing', downstairs tied up a wife, three children, and a number of maids. The living are not counted as the dead, a total of 19 people including the upper and lower people were killed, and more than 40 pieces of gold, silver, wine, and antiques were looted. ”

In fact, those lost gold, silver, wine vessels, and antique treasures were all taken by the Master of Zhangdu's Prison Mansion. Since Zhang Dujian is dead, this Dujian Mansion is only afraid that he will not stay for a long time, how can he not seek some benefits for himself in the future? Therefore, there is a smart mind, who has already picked up the good things in the house before reporting the crime. Anyway, it can always be pushed to the murderer, which makes dozens of people do things in two, which is the only way to make a fortune and get a family to have a difficult birth.

Where can the prefect of Mengzhou distinguish the authenticity? After listening to the report, he sent people to hold the four gates of Mengzhou, set up soldiers and arrest people, and searched for the murderers Ximen Qing and Wu Song from house to house in the square of the city.

was in a hurry, and someone from Feiyunpu reported: "A fisherman salvaged four corpses in the water of Feiyunpu, put them in his pocket and sank to the bottom of the water, and saw traces of murder on the side of the road under the Feiyunpu Bridge." The prefect pressed the order, and when he sent the county lieutenant of this county to come down, he collected the concave corpse while inspecting it, only to find that the two were the princes of the prefecture, and they were sent to prevent Wu Song from going to Enzhou. The other two were the apprentices of the dead Jiang Menshen, and this time, the prefect understood seven points in his heart.

So the prefect ordered that the door be closed for three days, and the whole city was closed. Five families are in a company, ten families are guaranteed, and the ant hole also goes to search. After searching for three days, nothing was found, and the official document of the constitution's reproach came down first.

The prefect was in a hurry and took the paperwork. The commissioner should be in charge of the ground, and all townships, all guarantees, all capitals, and all villages should search and arrest the murderers. There are more Danqing skillful hands, writing Ximen Qing and Wu Song's township, year, appearance, appearance, painting shadow graphics, and rewarding 6,000 yuan. If someone knows the whereabouts of Ximenqing and Wu Song, they will go to the state to report and give a reward with the text; If someone hides a prisoner to stay at home, the incident will be reported to the official and the prisoner will be guilty of the same crime. Traveled all over the neighboring state capitals and arrested them together.

At the same time, an urgent document was also quickly delivered to Dongping Mansion in Shandong Province by the urgent delivery shop. The book describes in detail the crimes committed by Ximenqing and Wu Song in Mengzhou, and asks Yin of Dongping Prefecture to move Wenqinghe County to lock up Ximenqing and Wu Song's family members and ask them about the whereabouts of the murderer.

The shijie outside was terrified, but Ximenqing, who was in the small mountain village of Bears Ears Mountain, sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and was leisurely. This is exactly what it is:

Mo Dao is terrifying, and he is also a few heroes. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
