When he arrived at Anyan Town, it was already sunset, Qi Ming chose a first-class inn, and after settling the carriage, several people entered the main hall.

The shopkeeper came up and asked, "Guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel?" ”

Qi Ming "two upper rooms, prepare some wine and food to send to the room. ”

Yan Mo "Three upper rooms!" ”

Lu Jiu and Qi Yun both squinted at Qi Ming when they heard this

"Love" Qi Mingxu stretched out his hand, and the silver ring flickered a few times with his movements, and then stopped in mid-air

"Hey, there's nothing to sigh about, three upper rooms!" After Yan Mo finished speaking to the shopkeeper, he went upstairs, "Little Er, lead the way!" ”

Qi Yun followed Yan Mo and prepared to go upstairs, not forgetting to look back frequently to see King Yi'an's reaction, but the people were still smiling elegantly and didn't care much

Lu Jiu approached, Qi Ming clenched a fist, and affirmed softly: "Master, come on!" ”

Qi Ming looked at Lu Jiu and said with a smile, "You pay for the room between you and Mr. Qi." ”

"Master—don't—" Lu Jiu couldn't believe it, and was so surprised that his bitter gourd face was about to fall to the ground

Qi Mingwu smiled to himself and went upstairs, picked the room next to Yan Mo, and walked in elegantly.

After a few people had dinner, Qi Yun took advantage of the silence to enter her room.

Qi Yun sat on the side of the tea house and said face to face with Yan Mo, "Owner of the village, what is the matter between you and King Yi'an?" ”

Yan Mo poured himself a cup of tea, and looked at Qi Yun suspiciously, "What's going on?" ”

"Hey! I'm all here, can't I see it? Qi Yun snatched Yan Mo's tea and took a sip and said, "I've been observing since the cottage, and you kept your distance from him throughout the whole process, which looks like a normal couple!" ”

Yan Mo poured himself another cup of tea, "The emperor's marriage will, he and I are nominally well-known fiancés, yes." ”

"Nominally" Qi Yunwu nodded and repeated, it seems that Xiao Huihui still has a chance, "The owner of the village!" It's really not easy for us to go all the way over the years, you see, the second boss is not small, have you ever thought about finding us a second sister-in-law?"

Yan Mo swallowed a sip of tea, frowning and thinking about "second sister-in-law"

"That's right! The second master also has "Qi Yun pinching his fingers and counting" this year, "four out of twenty!" It's an older leftover man!! ”

"Hearing you say that, it's really Brother Aoki, but I never considered his marriage," Yan Mo slowly turned the teacup in his hand and pondered, "The point is, Brother Aoki never seems to have ever mentioned which girl he has a crush on"

Qi Yun observed Yan Mo's expression and thought, that's because you're too used to his existence, and you haven't thought about what will happen to him if he gets married one day, right?

"Brother Aoki, but what did Mr. Qi talk about?" Yan Mo raised his eyes and asked, "Which girl does he fall in love with?" ”

"Huh?" Qi Yun looked confused, you don't know which girl he is fond of, "What kind of girl do you think can make the second master tempted?" ”

Yan Mo held his cheek with one hand and pondered, "Brother Aoki is gentle by nature, has Western Regions blood, has excellent appearance, is good at tea ceremony spices, loves elegance, how can he be a stunning beauty who shows off his wisdom and is ashamed of flowers in the closed moon." ”

"Hehe" Qi Yun smiled helplessly, and showed off his wisdom, the extremes of things must be reversed, and the opposite sex attracts each other, "What, the owner of the village, the second master is indeed not young, and it is time to be concerned about marriage, but this matter is in a hurry, but it is not in a hurry, but you can look for it slowly"

Yan Mo "Well, Mr. Qi is reasonable, you can really pay attention to it"

At this time, Qi Ming pushed the door and came in, "It's past the time, why don't we go out for a walk, familiarize ourselves with the terrain, and check the situation by the way." ”

"Hmm," Yan Mo thought for a moment, "Maybe he'll commit another crime tonight, so it's better to go out and inspect it." As she spoke, she got up, and the men walked out of the inn and into the street.

Qi Yun took the lead and came to the west of the town, "This is Wufu, and there is Yuyun County." He held out his hand for directions.

Yan Mo looked at Wu Mansion and then looked at the direction of Yuyun County, "It seems that this area is his range of activities," she thought back for a while and continued, "Yu Fan'er said that when the thief took off her clothes, she felt that the thief's hands were very rough, it must be the traces left by the work, and it is likely that it is a farmer in the village."

Qi Yun also thought about it for a while, "I haven't heard that person speak from beginning to end, he is not tall, and he is considered short among men." ”

Yan Mo: "What makes me wonder now is that this is not the first time that the thief has kidnapped people, you found the broken temple stronghold through Huang Xiaoying, which means that the thief has plenty of time to defile those women, but they don't look like they have been abused If this is the case, then what is the motive of the thief to kidnap people?" ”

Qi Ming: "Why don't we go to the broken temple and have a look." ”

Qi Yun: "I'll lead the way." ”

When the four of them arrived at the broken temple, Yan Mo took the torch and turned around inside, and Lu Jiu also helped to check around, only Qi Mingyu stood in the night, and after a round of inspection, no abnormality was found in the broken temple

A few people went around the periphery, and Lu Jiu discovered the situation first.

Lu Jiu: "Master, look at it, there is a vegetable garden here, although it is not big, and a few of them have been trampled on, but these are very fresh"

Yan Mo took a closer look, and there were indeed a few that were still very fresh, "It seems that this is indeed the place where he lives"

Qi Ming "may also be one of them, he doesn't necessarily live here every day, maybe he only comes here occasionally or needs to commit a crime"

Yan Mo "It's also possible that the light will be dim at night, so let's check it out tomorrow."

When they returned to Anyan Town, it was already past the hour, and several people were walking on the street when they saw the officials patrolling

A servant saw someone here and hurriedly stepped forward, "There have been thieves in the town recently, you should hurry home, don't stay out late at night!" ”

"Yes, sir." Qi Yun hurriedly saluted and led everyone towards the inn

"Wait!" The official looked Qi Yun up and down, "Why did I see you so suspicious?" ”

"Official! It's a good citizen, and you can't judge people by their appearance~" Qi Yun hurriedly smiled and said.

The official looked at Qi Ming, and when he saw that he had an outstanding temperament, he asked, "Who are you?" It doesn't look like a local! ”

Lu Jiu stepped forward and said, "My master is a merchant in the capital, and he came here to do business, this is my bookkeeper, not a suspicious person." ”

The official looked at Yan Mo again and asked, "What about her?" ”

Lu Jiu: "That's my wife." ”

"Nonsense!" The official saw that Yan Mo was dressed as a girl, and her standing posture was sassy, which looked like a married woman, "Don't tell the truth yet!" ”

Qi Ming grabbed Yan Mo's shoulder and said, "This is indeed my wife who has not passed the door. ”

Yan Mo glanced at Qi Ming.

"You see, she looks reluctant, how can she look like your wife?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Yan Mo, who wanted to push Qi Ming away, noticed that he was reluctant

Qi Ming gently covered her arm and smiled, "My wife is shy and unwilling to show affection in front of people. ”

Yan Mo saw Lu Jiu and Qi Yun's embarrassed appearance, thought about it, had to ease his face, slowly stroked Qi Ming's placket with one hand, buried his head in his arms, and pretended to be shy, "The slave family is indeed the young master's fiancée, in this world, showing affection in front of people, going home and dying quickly, it is indeed immoral, therefore, the slave family is a little reserved, and the official master should not be surprised." ”

Seeing Yan Mo like this, the corners of Qi Ming's mouth unconsciously deepened a little

"Which sage's quotation comes from which sage is it to show affection and go home and die soon?" The officials were still puzzled by this

And Qi Ming took advantage of Yan Mo's feelings, and the hand holding his shoulder tightened a little, and his smile was like a drop of red in light ink

Seeing this, Lu Jiu hurriedly said, "Official, you see that the hour is not early, can you let us go back and rest?" ”

"Since it's husband and wife, let's go!" The official waved his hand, and after returning to the team, he continued to patrol.

Seeing that the servants were gone, Yan Mo struggled in Qi Ming's arms, trying to get rid of his shackles.

Qi Ming bowed his head and said, "They haven't gone far yet, in order to avoid more trouble, Yan'er should be patient for a while!" ”

Bang a punch in the abdomen, Qi Ming's movements paused, Yan Mo took the opportunity to turn around and get out of his embrace, shook his hair, put his hands behind his back, and walked forward leisurely, only to bother to care about someone who frowned and pretended to be in pain

Qi Yun glanced sideways at Qi Ming, hey, seeing that handsome face was distorted a little, he quickly lowered his head, so as not to be recognized by others with a snicker, "Hehe, I'd better hurry up and keep up with the owner of the village."

Lu Jiu tentatively stepped forward and asked, "Master, do you need subordinates to help you?" ”

"Hmph, haha, hum" Qi Mingwu laughed to himself, stood up straight and said to Lu Jiudao, "The princess still feels sorry for this king." Let's go. ”

Lu Jiu blinked his eyes, when did the prince become so skinny? Thinking so, he obediently kept up with the pace

The next day, the shopkeeper saw that several people in the upper room had gotten up, and stepped forward and said, "A few guest officers, did you sleep well yesterday?" He nodded when he saw a few people and said, "There will be a market on the street today, a few people might as well go and join in the fun~"

"Bazaar?" Qi Yun was surprised, "Big boss, how do you arrange it today?" I like the market, can't I?"

"Let's go and check out the ruined temple first, and then go to the market." Yan Mo said and led the way out.

"Okay!!" Qi Yun happily followed.

The four of them came to the broken temple again, and found that there was a small stream near the broken temple, the water source was clean, and they went to the upper flow of the water source, and found a nunnery, although it was not as dilapidated as the broken temple, but it was not big, and the house was old, but it looked like someone lived in it permanently.

Yan Mo knocked on the door of the nunnery, "Is anyone there?" ”

After knocking a few times, there was no response inside, and Qi Ming motioned for Lu Jiu to go up and take a look.

Lu Jiuyi flew down on the wall and saw that the main house was offering incense, but he didn't see anyone, so he fell back to Ming's side.

Lu Jiu: "There is really no one inside, Xu is the teachers and wives have gone out." ”

Qi Yun: "There is such a nunnery near the broken temple, maybe I can ask a little about the situation, but I didn't expect that there was even a person."

Yan Mo: "It's not the right time for us to come back, go back to the town first, go to the market to inquire, and see if there are any new victims." ”

The four of them left the nunnery and headed back into the town.

Lu Jiu: "If you want to know if there are any new victims, wouldn't it be faster to go to the yamen and ask?" ”

Yan Mo "Women are the most important reputation, do you think the families of those victims will report to the police as soon as possible?" What's more, the county magistrate has not taken office! Speaking of this, she looked at Qi Ming and said, "Why hasn't the ministry chosen someone to take office yet?" ”

Qi Ming smiled and said, "You have to ask the ministry about the ministry, why do you have to ask this king?" ”

"If there is no one in the court, I don't believe it!" Yan Mo put his hands around his chest and squinted at Qiming.

Qi Ming didn't answer, just smiled, "This king really doesn't know why this matter is so procrastinated, maybe he can ask the imperial brother when he returns to Beijing." ”

Yan Mo "His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

Qi Ming: "He knows the affairs of the court and the middle of the court better than this king. ”

The four of them returned to the vicinity of the ruined temple, mounted their horses, and galloped back to Anyan Town.

Because there were many people in the bazaar, so as not to have an accident, the horses were not allowed to enter, and Lu Jiu went to settle the horses first, and the other three went first.

In the bazaar, there are a variety of shops and stalls, and the eaves are hung with colorful curtains, the orchid is green, the pink and purple are very good-looking, and the wind is fluttering like water waves, and the mood is inexplicably happy. The streets are full of people, bustling with people, and the cries of selling come and go

"Sugar gourd ~ sweet sugar gourd ~"

As soon as Qi Ming heard it, he bought a string for Yan Mo to satisfy his hunger, and Yan Mo, who took the sugar gourd, couldn't help but think of the scene when he first met Dou Wan

"How did you think of that sissy!" Yan Mo couldn't help but shake his head and said, took a bite of the sweet crisp and continued shopping.

Qi Ming unconsciously stiffened when he heard the sissy, and then regained his smile and was about to catch up with Yan Mo, but was blocked by Qi Yun

"Hehe, young master, what about mine?" Qi Yun smiled cutely and spread his hands!

Qi Mingpi smiled and bought another bunch and handed it to Qi Yun

"Young Master Xie!"

Yan Mo and Qi Yun walked through the store with the flow of people, eating snacks, and were very happy. Qi Ming followed silently, taking out money to pay from time to time. After a while, Lu Jiu stepped on the roof of the street, moved quickly, leaped down, and merged into the three.

The street is extremely lively, the most excited is Qi Yun, he is interested in any storefront, rushing in and out, touch that, pick up and see this, he likes everything that children like, he is an old naughty boy!

Just as it was rising, suddenly there was a shout from the front, and several people were startled and fled! Wave after wave of the crowd dispersed!

"What's wrong?" Yan Mo craned his neck to look at the commotion.

"Dead man!! Dead man!!! ”

"What?!! Dead?!! ”

"Run, run—"

"Not good! With so many people, panic is easy to mess up! After Yan Mo dropped a sentence, he flew up, cut off those colored curtains with sword qi, and threw them one after another with internal force! After a while, the panicked crowd was trapped by a pile of colorful curtains and stopped!

"Don't panic, lest there be a stampede!!" Yan Mo flew down with one end of the colored curtain in his hand, and his posture was outstanding!

Qi Ming stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

As they spoke, they pointed to the door of a store and said, "Someone is dead inside."

Yan Mo loosened the curtain and walked to the store with Qi Ming, Qi Yun, and Lu Jiu.

Qi Yun was holding all kinds of gadgets in his hands, and it was inevitable that he would not run into pedestrians, and when he approached the door of the store, he suddenly rushed out! I bumped into him and ran away without looking back!

"Huh? It's all said don't let you panic, what is it to run! Qi Yun followed the man with his eyes, looking a little familiar, but he couldn't remember how familiar he was puzzled and followed Yan Mo into the store, this is a silk village.

Yan Mo and Lu Jiu came to the store and checked the body of the deceased, who was stabbed through the heart and died, and a large amount of blood oozed from his chest! Next to the corpse fell a pale green woman's sleeve tunic with its back facing up, full of blood stains!! It is also on the cuffs!!
