"You're alright!" Nangong Yi squatted down, looked at Liu Chunyan and said softly.

As soon as Nangong Yi spoke, Liu Qingyan's tears couldn't stop falling.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Nangong Yi was also very entangled in his heart, although he knew what the problem of the two was, but he didn't know what to say.

Nangong Yi took out a white handkerchief from his cuff and handed it to Liu Chunyan, "I didn't think like this in my heart, why did I say something like that?" ”

Liu Chunyan took Nangong Yi's handkerchief, disappeared the tears from the corners of her eyes, and did not answer Nangong Yi's question.

Just sighed, and then slowly stood up from the ground, "Let's go back to the county office." ”

After speaking, Liu Chunyan walked straight ahead, Nangong Yi followed behind her, and slowly walked in the direction of the county office.

What Liu Chunyan thought in her heart was that she must not let Lu Siguan watch Bian, even if she didn't have Lu Siguan by her side to help her, she must find out the facts of the case to him.

Not long after leaving, Liu Chunyan saw two corpses in the woods, which were the two people who had been killed before.

There were two more people who were implicated by herself, so she decided to bury them.

Liu Chunyan glanced at Nangong Yidao, "Let's bury them, you go find some tools to dig a pit." ”

Nangong Yi casually found a dead branch on the ground, and after a while, he dug a big pit and buried the two together with Liu Chunyan.

Liu Chunyan didn't know the names of the two people, but just set up a blank tablet for them, and then left.

At this time, it has been more than three days since Liu Chunyan came to this Mei County, and in these three days, it is like 30 years for Liu Chunyan, every day is like sitting on pins and needles, and living like a year.

On the other hand, there are more and more unfamiliar faces in Meixian, but there are fewer and fewer locals in Meixian, and many people have left.

From all over the country, there are still batches of killers gathering in Meixian, because at this time, the bounty for Liu Chunyan has risen from 1,000 taels to 10,000 taels.

10,000 taels of gold is not a small amount, which can buy a whole street in the current capital.

In the hundreds of years of these rivers and lakes, there has never been a person's life so valuable, so killers all over the country are rushing to Liu Chunyan.

If you take Liu Chunyan's head, you can have 10,000 taels of gold, and the three generations of the family can't eat up the money.

Liu Chunyan and Nangong Yi didn't know all of this, and the situation in Meixian was intensifying.

On Liu Chunyan's way back to Meixian, she could vaguely see a few locals with luggage on their backs, walking out.

Because there were no groups of three or five, it did not attract the attention of Liu Chunyan and Nangong Yi, and they thought it was just a normal business for businessmen.

"Where do we start with this?" Nangong Yi asked.

"First go to the Yamen to read the files, and then bring the residents within five miles of the crime site to the Yamen, and interrogate them one by one, if such a big thing happens, I don't believe that no one has seen it." Liu Chunyan said sharply.

"In fact, you can also start from within the county office, after all, it was the former county commander who colluded with the bullies, and there must be some clues in the county office." Nangong Yi looked at Liu Chunyan and said.

After listening, Liu Chunyan glanced at Nangong Yi, "Do you know something, where did you go this morning?" ”

"It seems that I can't hide anything from you, last night I heard a few officials talking about something in a whisper, it seems to be related to the case, early in the morning I saw those officials sneaking out of the yamen, so I followed." Nangong Yi replied.

"Did you find anything?" Liu Chunyan then asked.

Nangong Yi whispered, "There is no evidence for the time being, they just went home to let their families pack up and leave Meixian, and they didn't do anything else." ”

"Leaving Meixian, if they want to abscond in fear of crime, then they must be arrested immediately." Liu Chunyan said loudly.

The surprise in her words seemed to be as if she had found a clue to solve the case.

"Actually, I thought so before, but they themselves have returned to the county office, and it doesn't look like they are absconding in fear of crime, I want to see what they will do next, so I didn't do it." Nangong Yi said softly.

Liu Chunyan thought for a moment and then said, "The water in this Meixian County seems to be much deeper than I imagined, since this is the case, we will carry out the two lines at the same time, and you are still secretly observing these officials, and I will investigate the residents near the place where the crime occurred." ”

After the negotiation, Liu Chunyan and Nangong Yi returned to the Meixian County Ya, and Liu Chunyan didn't think about Lu Siguan anymore, but asked the Ya to bring those villagers to the court for interrogation.

On the other hand, Lu Siguan was indeed angry with Liu Chunyan this time.

Just imagine, Lu Siguan went so far to find Liu Chunyan, and was tired on the way to find Liu Chunyan, he wanted to protect Liu Chunyan, but in exchange for distrust, suspicion, and blame.

He didn't look back and rushed to the capital, but the pace of the road this time was not as urgent as last time, and he was thinking about everything that had happened in Meixian County in the past few days while walking.

Angry is angry, Lu Siguan is still a more rational person, and more importantly, because of his deep love for Liu Chunyan, he has such a big temper.

Lu Siguan has always been out of the world, and the people don't care about anything, but when he found Liu Chunyan again, his mentality was slowly changing.

At this moment, Lu Siguan cares about Liu Chunyan more than everything, even on his self-appointed mission.

If Liu Chunyan disappeared beside her, he shouldn't be in charge of this big mess in the world.

Liu Chunyan naturally has Lu Siguan in her heart, and Liu Chunyan can feel all this he has done all along, especially after so many changes have happened in the Liu family, only Lu Siguan is the only one who treats her......

Although at some point, Liu Chunyan would think that Lu Siguan's kindness to her was because of Lu Huaixiang, but she still enjoyed this kind of care from Lu Siguan.

Lu Siguan walked on the road and kept thinking about what the leading brother said before he died, and he still had some doubts in his heart.

Halfway through, he wanted to turn around and go back to Meixian, but thinking that Nangong Yi was by Liu Chunyan's side, she would not be in any danger, and in the end he decided to return to Beijing.

Lu Siguan's return to Beijing was not because he was angry with Liu Chunyan, but simply because he felt that the greater threat to Liu Chunyan came from the capital.

Those evil forces in Meixian who colluded with the county order couldn't do anything to Nangong Yi and Liu Chunyan at all, but the anonymous reward order in the capital would bring Liu Chunyan to death.

So Lu Siguan decided to go to the Beijing suburb wine shop in the mouth of the eldest brother to find out what was going on, to confirm whether this matter was true, and if it was true, how would he solve the matter, otherwise Liu Chunyan would not be at peace wherever she went.

Lu Siguan rode a horse and rushed straight to the wine shop on the outskirts of the capital, it was evening, and there were many people resting in the wine shop.

Lu Siguan walked to a corner and said, "Xiao Er, come with two pots of wine and a pound of beef." ”

Soon the shopkeeper came over with wine and beef, and said in front of Lu Siguan, "Guest officer, your wine and meat, please use it slowly." ”

Putting down the things, the shopkeeper was about to leave, and Lu Siguan suddenly called the shopkeeper, "You have a good business, it seems that these people are not small." ”

Lu Siguan sat down and glanced around, and the people at the tables around him were all murderous.

The shopkeeper turned around and looked at Lu Siguan, looking at Lu Siguan in a robe, clean, and thought that he was just a passing scholar, so he said bluntly, "The guest officer is in Beijing to catch the exam, hurry up and finish these and go on the road, Hugh has to ask more." ”

Lu Siguan said with a smile, "Are these silver taels enough, I just want to know some interesting things about the rivers and lakes, I don't know if the shopkeeper can talk to me about one or two." ”

The shopkeeper looked at the two silver ingots that were so big on the table, his eyes couldn't help but glow green, and he said with a smile, "There is nothing in this small shop, but there are a lot of interesting things in this river, I don't know what you want to hear." ”

"In this case, you can talk about some major events in the rivers and lakes recently, and let me hear it, if I am happy to listen, I will be rewarded." Lu Siguan patted the money bag on his waist with his hand as he spoke, and let His Royal Highness Xiao Er look at the bulging money bag on his waist.

"Okay, then you can sit tight, listen." As he spoke, the shopkeeper sat directly opposite Lu Siguan.

"Just the day before yesterday, a strange guest came to this wine shop, this man was dressed in black, wearing a black veil, no one had ever seen this person's face, and as soon as he sat down, he said something that shocked everyone." The shopkeeper was halfway through his words, thinking about selling it to Lu Siguan and earning some silver taels.

Lu Siguan has been in the rivers and lakes for so long, of course he knows what the shopkeeper means, so he took out a certain amount of silver taels from his waist and put it in front of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper hurriedly took the silver taels into his pocket, and then said, "This person actually paid a thousand taels of gold to buy a human head, and it is said that this person is a high-ranking official in the capital. ”

When he said this, the shopkeeper deliberately lowered his voice, creating an extremely mysterious feeling.

"A thousand taels of gold to buy a man's remy horse, is there really such a thing?" Lu Siguan asked directly.

Lu Siguan spoke a little loudly, and the people at the next table heard it clearly, and everyone looked at Lu Siguan in response.

The shopkeeper hurriedly asked Lu Siguan to keep his mouth shut at this time, "Guest officer, don't make a public announcement at this time, if you alarm the government, a small person like you and me will definitely be beheaded." ”

"Then do you have the portrait of the bounty man, that is, the high-ranking official in the capital, I will buy it for one hundred taels." Lu Siguan asked softly, he also knew that the shopkeeper would not show himself in vain, so he offered a high price.

Lu Siguan was the first person to pay such a high price to buy a portrait, but the shopkeeper was a little hesitant in this matter.

Seeing this, Lu Siguan opened his mouth and asked, "If this one hundred taels is not enough, I am willing to add another one hundred taels." ”

"It's not ......, guest officer, this portrait shop owner has it, I'm just a guy here, how can there be, I can help you ask, but ......" the shopkeeper said with a smile.
