Although the lights in the hall were dim, with Ran Shaotang's eyesight, he could clearly see that there was a person hanging from the beam.

She almost screamed.

The man's legs were dangling in the air, still shaking, and he seemed to be saved.

Ran Shaotang pushed the door and wanted to go in to save people, but saw someone suddenly jump out from behind the bookshelf and stab the person in the abdomen with a sword. Shaotang saw that the man was covered with a black scarf, dressed in night clothes, and after killing someone, he drew his sword and looked at the palace gate.

Ran Shaotang didn't know what he thought of at that moment, and suddenly squatted down.

She thought quickly, this was the palace, and whoever died had nothing to do with her.

She can't get into trouble.

Thinking about this clearly, she flicked out the candle flame in the lantern with one finger, and tried her best to suppress her breathing, so that she could reduce her sense of presence, hoping that the person would finish killing people, finish what he had to do, and get out of here.

Just as she was holding her breath and listening to the movement inside, someone suddenly called her in a suppressed voice in the dark: "Ran Gongzi, Ran Gongzi, where are you?" Young Master Ran, the slave is back. ”

At that moment, Ran Shaotang really hoped that the little yellow door would simply stink to death on his and pee fart, and not come back.

What did he call her?

Ran Gongzi?

It's not about telling the killer directly that someone outside the door saw you kill A. The eyewitness was surnamed Ran A. If you want to kill someone, get out of A.

Ran Shaotang had an idea, rolled to the side steps of the main hall, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Shen Weizhong, Shen Weizhong, Brother Weizhong, what are you looking at there?" This voice made people think that she was far away from the temple gate.

After finishing speaking, he threw a few stones and threw them on the pillars and roofs of the temple gate respectively, and after thinking about it, he threw two more stones at the osmanthus tree not far away, causing the illusion that someone fled in panic.

Anyway, this kind of method of striking east and west, the more the merrier, so that the people inside can't tell which direction this person is running.

Xiao Huangmen heard Ran Shaotang's voice and looked for it from the palace road.

At this time, Shaotang had already taken advantage of the darkness of the night and jumped a few times to come behind the little yellow door.

She raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder: "I'm here, where are you looking for this?" ”

Xiao Huangmen turned around in surprise and saw Ran Shaotang, and smiled a little shyly: "The slave maid saw a figure at the door of the hall just now, thinking it was you." ”

Ran Shaotang said nonsense with a calm face: "Oh, I also saw it just now, it should be Shen Weizhong, the eldest son of the Shen family." But somehow, he ignored me and walked away. ”

Putting the pot on this bastard thing, she didn't feel guilty at all.

The second master of the Shen family came to Kyoto at the end of the year to report on his work, and this imperial banquet took Shen Weizhong to participate, and when Ran Shaotang stepped into the Yanxi Palace, he saw him from afar.

In this life, she can not remember anyone, but she will not forget the two beasts of the Shen family.

So, at the critical moment, she came up with this idea to move Jiangdong.

Fortunately, Xiao Huangmen didn't know any Shen Weizhong's son, otherwise he would definitely wonder if the height difference between the two was at least one head, how could he see the wrong person?

Xiao Huangmen noticed that the lantern she was carrying was extinguished, and took it and said, "I'll go to the temple and light it, otherwise there is still a way to go, and it will be easy to trip when it's dark." ”

Ran Shaotang wanted to say "don't go", but he endured it instantly.

She followed closely behind the little yellow door and said in her heart: This murder case is discovered by you, and it has nothing to do with me.

Xiao Huangmen called twice through the door: "Who is on duty tonight?" I am Li Ren in the Queen's Palace. Let's borrow a fire. ”

He shouted twice and didn't see anyone answer, he pushed open the door, Ran Shaotang followed behind him, he blocked his vision, silently counting one, two, three, and his heart was about to hear the scream of this little yellow door.

Who knew that the little yellow door not only did not call, but turned around and turned to the other side.

In this way, Ran Shaotang's vision was broadened.

However, everything she had expected did not happen.

Rows of bookshelves in the main hall stand tall, and the layers are full of bamboo slips.

The person who hung there before is gone.

It's really gone.

Ran Shaotang didn't believe it, so she deliberately walked to the position where the hanger had been hanged before and took a look, but she was afraid that the murderer would be staring at her in the dark, so she pretended not to care and wandered around.

The toes grinded around on the brown-red wooden floor.

She saw the sword pierce the man's abdomen, and it was impossible not to drop a few drops of blood.

As long as there is a drop of blood, it proves that what she just saw is true, not her own hysteria.

However, nothing was found.

It's as if there was no death just now, and everywhere there is the normality that a library should have.

Ran Shaotang couldn't help but ponder, this person must be thoughtful and do things neatly.

After discovering that there were people outside, they immediately cleaned up the scene.

Li Ren's voice came from the apse, followed by a yellow door yawning and rubbing his eyes.

"I'll give you a new one, and you can take the bright hall." Huang Men, who had just woken up from sleep, took off a lantern, stuffed it into Ran Shaotang's hand, glanced at her hurriedly, and then opened the door to send the two of them out.

Li Ren said, "Be vigilant, don't let the top catch you", and led the way to Yanxi Palace.

Ran Shaotang walked blankly behind him with a lantern, his mind was full of those eyes.

Walking a long way, she looked around with her peripheral vision, quickly opened the small paper ball in her palm, and approached the lantern.

There are four words written on it: Danger, go quickly.

The light of the lantern came back, and according to those words, Ran Shaotang looked at the back of the paper.

She clutched the note tightly and asked Li Ren in front of her, "Neiguan Li, is the yellow door in the Library Pavilion familiar with you just now?" ”

Li Ren had been uneasy because he had been on an errand just now, which made the son of the Ran family wait for a long time, and he answered patiently whatever she asked at this moment.

"There are one hundred and eight palaces in this palace, and each palace has at least a dozen or twenty palace maids waiting for them, and they can recognize them anywhere."

"That one should be new here. Otherwise, how dare you sneak a doze off at this time. If you want to fight, you have to find a place where no one is around. His Majesty loved to read the books in the library, and always sent people to look for them in his free time. Today, the new Huangmen is in good fortune, just in time for His Majesty to set up a banquet. If you were on weekdays, you might be caught......"

Li Ren's later words, Ran Shaotang didn't hear clearly.

She had a bold guess in her mind, there was indeed a murder just now, and it was not her dazzled. This man is likely to be the killer.

No, his note read, "Danger Walk." In that case, she knew who the killer was, and deliberately let herself escape......

But why did she save herself?

If that person is a killer, why not just walk away on his own?

Or, he wasn't a killer and just saw the danger, but he should have walked away with common sense.

She couldn't figure it out, so she unconsciously turned back frequently and looked at the temple that was gradually hidden in the night.

It's just that the temple is getting smaller and smaller, and slowly, she can't see it when she looks back.
