In the inner room of the Longevity Hall, Mrs. Gui took a short break after dealing with the juniors who came to visit her.

She didn't see Wen Yan.

In the morning, she touched her mouth up and down, and urged her not to pretend to be stupid, but she didn't show up at all in the afternoon.

Cao said that Wen Yan went out.

She had the intention to hide it for Wen Yan, and she would not say "Sister Yan is over the wall" in front of the old lady, but only picked up what she could say.

In the past few days, I often go out, in order to catch the murderer, Sister Yan has helped the master a lot, went to the yamen several times, and also went to the Shunping Bofu, and went to the adult to do a witness......

Old Madam Gui prepared a lot of scenes to fight with Wen Yan, but Wen Yan didn't come, so she could only give up for the time being.

The Cao family couldn't tell where Wen Yan went, and Mrs. Gui guessed seven, seven, eight, eight.

Since Huo Huaiding entered the city, Wen Yan has often been absent from the mansion, and he must be with Huo Yixiao.

Didn't you tell her that the two of them went to the lake together.

Old Madam Gui silently recited Huo Yixiao's name a few times, depicted the prospect, and finally calmed down.

Wen Zifu rushed back to the Ding'an Hou Mansion with the two masters, took the old lady's testimony, and returned to the yamen.

Mrs. Gui remembered today's situation, she was now clear from afar and vague from near, so she didn't mention the details, only said that the gangsters broke in, and she and An were both victims, and she still needed to recall.

Huo Huaiding listened to Wen Zifu's words, and said, "Let the old lady think slowly, this is not in a hurry." If we can find the murderer, let her identify it. ”

Wen Zifu respectfully responded.

Li Zhifu pressed his eyebrows, and it was difficult to hide the sorrow in his eyes.

Huang Tongju couldn't say anything more, Huaishan was the son of the Bofu family, and whatever he found out from him, he all pointed to Shunping Bofu.

Huo Huaiding is still in Lin'an, and since this old man comes forward, as soon as Shang Fangjian comes out, he can dispose of him.

But once Huo Huaiding left, he Li Zhifu faced Bofu......

I can't imagine.

Yamen in other places, I can't wait to leave and go through the motions when I come to the Yamen, how come he arrived at his Lin'an Mansion, he has to look forward to Huo Huaiding staying for a while longer.

He couldn't wait to ask Huai Shan directly, where did he find the murderer?

Huai Shan was also looking for that person.

He left Bofu early in the morning and went to Huang Tongju's house.

The gate of Huang Tong's house was closed, and there were two officials guarding the door.

Huaishan didn't get close, and inquired near the street entrance, only to learn that in the middle of the night before, someone from the government suddenly came and sentenced Huang Tong to be taken away, and the rest of the Huang family were locked up at home.

"I heard that it was a crime!" The people who patronize the Katagawa stall are all close neighbors, eating and talking at the same time.

"Didn't the imperial court come to patrol recently, he asked someone to catch it!"

"It's just indiscriminately giving people convenience, and something is wrong!"

"What is the specific matter, then how do we little people know, I just happened to get up at night and saw him being taken away, and I never came back."

The more Huaishan listened, the more empty his heart became.

He wanted to comfort himself, it must have been Huang Tongju who had done too many bad things to get arrested, and it had nothing to do with them, but the voice of Huang Tongjuan he heard in his dream last night turned over and over again in his mind, and he was swept away by the suffocation of the ghost pressing the bed......

Huai Shan thumped his chest heavily, and it took a breath to ease up.

After walking aimlessly on the street for two quarters of an hour, Huaishan finally made up his mind, took a ferry from the ferry port to Maojiabu, and ran up the mountain with his legs spread......

Evening.

The sun sinks in the west, and the afterglow falls on the West Lake, blending with the sparkling water.

A small boat passed through the lake.

Wen Yan sat in it, holding Ebony in his arms to warm his hands, and Huo Yixiao lay in the black canopy, closing his eyes and recuperating.

The sound of the water is obvious, the boat is gently rocking, Xu is not suitable for taking a nap on the boat, Huo Yixiao is not sleeping steadily, and his brows have been wrinkled.

Wen Yan stretched out his hand and pressed his fingertips on Huo Yixiao's eyebrows, wanting to caress it gently, but he was worried that he would wake people up.

Hesitating, Wen Yan withdrew his hand and hummed a tune softly.

Soothing and gentle.

When I was a child, my mother used to hum when she coaxed Wen Zhang.

Wen Yan was coquettish, saying that her mother doted on her younger brother, but she had never heard of it when she was an infant.

The fairy tale made her mother laugh, hugged her and said that she was also coaxed like this when she was a milk doll, but the milk doll grew into a small doll and I don't remember.

Later, her mother taught her to hum this tune, and Wen Yan changed her front teeth that year, humming and leaking, so her parents gave her face and applauded her.

In her previous life, she hummed to Huo Yixiao and got a "not bad" evaluation.

Wen Yan hummed softly while thinking about the old things.

Huo Yixiao seemed to hear it, and his eyebrows stretched a little.

The boat arrived at Maojiabu and docked.

Huo Yixiao opened his eyes and was a little stunned for a moment at Wen Yan who called him up.

He slept more heavily than he had imagined.

He had always been vigilant, but now, Wen Yan was close at hand, and he didn't even notice it in his sleep.

Huo Yixiao sat up impatiently, he has been with Wen Yan these days, and he has become a little "used to it", which is not a good thing.

"Got to the place?" Huo Yixiao asked, and when he saw Wen Yan nodding, he got out of the black tent and jumped ashore.

Wen Yan also landed with a black cat in his arms.

Ebony muttered something, Wen Yan listened for a while, and said to Huo Yixiao: "Go this way." ”

Huo Yixiao didn't want to wonder how this person and a cat communicated, and went to the mountain according to Wen Yan's command.

There are several small villages in the area, and the villagers make a living from the pilgrim business by relying on the flourishing incense of the nearby temples.

The two of them walked for a quarter of an hour before they reached the place where Ebony pointed out.

An old courtyard that looks like it hasn't been repaired for years, and the nearest house to the village is some distance away.

The courtyard door was hidden, Huo Yixiao pushed the door in, and saw hidden thunder guarding inside.

In the middle of the night, Wen Yan asked Hei Tan'er to follow Huaishan, and Yin Lei returned to the post house to rest until dawn, and rushed to wait near Huang Tongju's house.

As long as Huaishan is suspicious, he will definitely go there to inquire about the news.

Sure enough, Huai Shan heard the familiar cat meow at the corner of the street, and when he looked up, the black cat looked at him from the eaves.

One person and one cat followed Huaishan here, and Hei Tan'er went back to report to Wen Yan and Huo Yixiao, and the hidden thunder was watching.

Seeing them coming, Yin Lei hurriedly said: "Huaishan and the ruffians are stunned, I don't want to alarm them, but if the ruffians want to escape, they can only do this first." ”

Huo Yixiao nodded and said, "Hard work."

Then, he walked to the side of the two people, didn't care about Huaishan, loosened the ties to the ruffian, grabbed his wrists, and rolled up his sleeves to look.

On the right hand, there are paw prints that have not healed for a long time.

Ebony came over, compared her paws upwards, and meowed triumphantly.

Huo Yixiao tied the person back and asked Yin Lei to go down the mountain to call a carriage.

While waiting, Wen Yan went into the house and searched through several rooms, but he did not find the bloody clothes that lacked fabric.

"Maybe it was burned and thrown away," Huo Yixiao leaned against the door and asked, "This kid is timid enough to have a nightmare and can't bear it, what if he doesn't go up the mountain today?" ”

Wen Yan walked out with a smile and stood next to Huo Yixiao: "Then continue to scare." ”

Couldn't help but let Huo Yixiao gasp.

Thanks to this kid, if he can carry it, he will have to eat a few more green plums.

Toothache!
