"The yamen handles the case, and the idle people stand back."

All around was full of people poking their heads out.

"How many are these?"

"The third one, right?"

"The fourth! and another died in his own house. The vendor walked the streets and alleys, well-informed, he put down his flat pole and whispered to the others, "The one in the house was hacked to death with a knife, and half of his body was cut off directly!" ”

"Hey, that's scary!" The timid couldn't help but shudder, and the bold one continued to ask.

"What kind of book did the hacked one write as well?"

"Isn't it!" The seller took out a sweat towel and wiped the sweat on his forehead, although it was winter, he was still sweating profusely, "That's called a guilty book!" It is to list all of his crimes. ”

"Hey, who is literate, help me see what is written?"

There was a down-and-out Xiucai standing next to him, blowing his beard and saying: "Hmph, they are all corrupt officials, and it's not a pity to die!" ”

"Mr. Sun, don't just scold, but tell us what is written?"

What the people were talking about was the corpse of a man hanging from the old locust tree by the well, this corpse was so thin that only skin and bones remained, and a cloth more than three feet long hung around his neck, with ten charges on it, and at the end, according to the handprint of this person.

"I didn't even have the face to read it, saying that it was because someone was collecting debts, so I killed people and killed people, and I got into trouble with my sister-in-law, hey...... It's really not as good as a beast. Especially this one, this alone, it is not enough for him to die ten times! This person was originally the supervisor of grain and grass, that is, the official responsible for supervising the delivery of grain and grass to the troops, but for his own selfish desires, he exchanged the grain and rice transported to the front line for stale grain......"

"Oh yo! This man's heart and liver are black, wow! "It's a southerner who speaks, and when I first came to the capital today, I picked up a lively look. He listened to it for a long time, and then he figured out, "Should it be...... It is to send grain and grass to the southwest! Recently, I have been at war with Nanyuan Kingdom...... Woohoo......"

He was about to say more, but the person next to him hurriedly covered his mouth.

He checked the corpse and shook his head helplessly: "Hungry to death...... This looks like ...... no matter how you look at it."

Hu Zhutou hurriedly raised his index finger and told him to be cautious, even if he knew some things in his heart, he would never be able to say them.

The people were still talking.

"You said that these high-ranking officials who have died recently ......," the man said, looking around to make sure that he was not wearing official uniforms, before he continued, "I think it was the dead Southwest Frontier Army who came to take revenge!" ”

"Bah, bah, where are the demons and monsters in this world?"

"I think what Aunt Li said makes sense, otherwise why hasn't the murderer been caught for a month! And every time you kill someone, you can be unaware, isn't this a ghost revenge? ”

"Amitabha! Revenge must not implicate us ordinary people, just find these corrupt officials. ”

This matter only lasted an hour, and it spread all over the capital. In the teahouse, a few people dressed as scholars whispered.

"Brother Liang thinks that they are guilty of ......"

"Eighty percent true! What does Mr. Liu think? ”

The person who was called Mr. Liu looked like a praying mantis, and he danced when he spoke: "If it weren't for these people who changed their grain, grass and armor, would a small country like Nanyuan be our opponent of Daxuan?" ”

"It's not like the Nanyuan Kingdom is pouring the power of the whole country ......"

"Phew! That's the Southwest Frontier Army of Old Marquis Zhou! Old Marquis Zhou shouted casually, and the little emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom had to pee his pants in fright! ”

"Didn't you hear that it was the soldiers led by the little marquis, isn't it inferior to his father?"

"At the age of seventeen, the little marquis led 5,000 people and defeated 60,000 people, and he didn't dare to write like this in the art of war! How could the little marquis who used soldiers like a god ......"

"Shhhh Whisper. ”

On the side of the teahouse, passing by a few officials patrolling the streets, several people hurriedly silenced.

The person sitting in the teahouse, listening to their discussions, drank the tea in front of him with a blank face, put down a silver ingot, and turned to leave. The wind blew the man's robe, but he saw that the man's cuffs were stained with some ink.

Ming Ruonan took off his hat and listened to the footsteps in the distance, frowning slightly.

"Where did the crown princess go last night?"

Ming Ruonan was slightly stunned, turned her head and stiffly squeezed out a smile: "I can't sleep at night, go out for a walk." ”

"Can't sleep? If you can't sleep, talk to me, and you may ......."

"Don't bother Your Highness, I went to Jishitang today to get some sleeping potions." Ming Ruonan shook the medicine bag in his hand towards Yuan Jing, turned around and was about to go back to the room.

"Stop it! It's dangerous for you to go on like this. ”

Ming Ruonan turned to look at Yuan Jing, tilted his head and smiled: "What is His Highness saying, why can't I understand?" ”

"You know what I mean?" Yuan Jing frowned, "I can help you with whatever you want, but you can't ......"

"It's getting late, Your Highness." Ming Ruonan interrupted Yuan Jing's words, looking at him with that detached smile, "It's time for you to go to court." ”

"Ming Ruonan!" Yuan Jing clenched his fists, feeling that although he was only one step away from her, he seemed to be thousands of miles away.

"The concubine is retired." Ming Ruonan smiled and bowed, turned to leave, and his expression became cold the moment he turned around.

That night, she changed into a nightdress and climbed over the wall again and walked out of the palace. She came to a dilapidated temple and turned the candlestick on the shrine slightly, and a secret door appeared out of thin air behind the Buddha statue. Ming Ruonan walked down the steps step by step towards the underground secret room.

"Young master." Feng Yao saw Ming Ruonan coming, and hurriedly put the chair up.

"How many arrows?"

"Seventy-sixth arrow."

Ming Ruonan didn't bother to look at the person in front of him, only blowing the tea in the cup and said coldly: "There are still seventeen arrows, I don't know if the adults can stand it?" ”

"Kill me!" Luo Shuangxi cried and shouted, "I beg you, kill me!" ”

"Master Tongzhi still has the strength to shout? Shoot three more arrows. ”

Feng Yao pulled the bow full, and Luo Shuangxi was so frightened that he immediately cried and called his mother.

"Auntie, I beg you to let me go! I've written a book of sins, too! I admit my guilt, even if I go to confront Your Majesty, I beg you to reward me! ”

Feng Yao didn't seem to hear his shout, his right hand loosened, and the arrow shot straight into Luo Shuangxi's body.

Luo Tongzhi spurted out a mouthful of blood: "I'm ......#¥@"

No matter how much he cursed, Ming Ruonan said coldly as if he hadn't heard it: "Second arrow." ”

"Ahh

After three arrows, Luo Shuangxi fainted directly.

"Son, take the medicine."

Feng Yao wrapped Luo Shuangxi like a zongzi, frowned and was always dissatisfied with the knot he tied, so he simply tied it again.

"Young master, how about inserting three arrows here tomorrow?"

Ming Ruonan looked at the place Feng Yao pointed and thought for a while: "Let's shoot all the fourteen arrows tomorrow." ”

"Yes."

"You don't ask why?"

Feng Yao shook his head: "As long as I can kill these corrupt officials, I will do whatever the young master tells me." ”

Ming Ruonan looked at Feng Yao with some distress: "That's it, let's shoot all the fourteen arrows now." The prince already doubted me. ”

Feng Yao nodded and took the order. Ming Ruonan listened to the screams behind her, as if she was sounding for her own advance, she walked deeper step by step, opened a small door, and smiled slightly towards the door.

"Senior brother, I'm here."

Ming Ruonan closed the door, and he didn't know who he was talking to, after all, in this inner room, there was nothing else except a tablet.
