Mei Xiaoren didn't take Jiang Rong's words seriously, she waited left and right, but she still didn't see Ye Zhi come back.

At this time, the bright moon is bright and clean, and when the sun rises, it is a day past. If she can't find out the reason before the prefect arrives, how can she cover this official hat on her head

She couldn't wait, got up and ordered: "Come on, prepare a sedan chair." He took the folding fan and walked out the door.

Jiang Yi immediately asked: "Where are you going in the middle of the night?"

"Handling Cases"

Jiang Rong was stunned for a moment, and then quickly rushed out of the door to catch up with Mei Xiaoren, "I'll go with you."

Mei Xiaoren didn't care what Jiang Rong wanted, he wanted to follow it, as long as he was bold enough, don't be scared and scream for a while.

The moonlight in the sky is hazy, and it can't illuminate the grass and trees on the ground, and naturally it can't illuminate this dark and secluded cityside Yizhuang.

The white lantern hung under the eaves, swaying gently in the wind, and the light and shadow swayed so that people's backs were cold, not to mention that there were thirty-four corpses parked in Yizhuang at this time, and the dead were more ugly than the other.

Mei Xiaoren walked to the door, and saw that Qi Zuo was still conducting a detailed autopsy, and only after he finished examining the remaining corpses did she ask, "What did you find?"

He walked up to Mei Xiaoren and arched his hand, "Lord Hui, the murder weapon used by the murderer is a long sword and very sharp, almost sharpening iron like clay, and all the dead were killed by one blow, and there was no second wound on their bodies, so it can be seen that they met several people with extremely high martial arts." ”

"I'll take a look."

When the voice came, Mei Xiaoren glanced back, only to see Jiang Rong's guy walking with a serious face.

He said that she could help her, but Mei Xiaoren didn't see that Jiang Rong had any ability to solve the case. I just knew that someone had just taken a look at the door and went out to vomit once, and now I really don't know why he is so reckless.

Before Mei Xiaoren could speak, Jiang Rong had already walked in, and he looked like he was about to solve this mystery without hesitation.

Jiang Rong walked around among the thirty-four corpses, and couldn't help retching again and again, but he didn't give up looking at each corpse carefully.

"My lord, can this work" Ye Zhi looked at Jiang Ei's posture and couldn't help but question.

Mei Xiaoren slowly turned his eyes to look at Ye Zhi and shook his head silently.

She thought about it alone, and now she knew that this gang of bandits had been killed by the masters of the rivers and lakes, and the weapon they used was a sharp sword, and she knew nothing else.

Including the motive for the killing.

She tried to think about whether it would be a squire who was robbed by bandits and held a grudge, and then hired a master to take revenge. But her father knew all the squires in the country, and when she went home before, she hadn't heard of anyone's house being robbed, and there was no news recently.

Mei Xiaoren began to count the days again. This gang of bandits was escorted to Xuanzhou Mansion before, even if they got away by luck for some reason, they came directly to Yunxian County without any delay after getting out, and they only arrived in the last few days, so why did they die in the wilderness in two days

Mystery is still a mystery.

The night was already late, Mei Xiaoren's eyes were tired, and the servants and servants around her had already yawned. The big guys stood here, as if they were all playing with Jiang Rong.

Mei Xiaoren couldn't wait to ask, "Gongzi Jiang, have you seen enough?"

Jiang Rong retracted his gaze and looked at Mei Xiaoren, his expression serious but he didn't say a word.

Mei Xiaoren picked up his hand, "What do you think?"

Jiang Rong glanced at the corpses beside him and said lightly: "The people who killed them have extraordinary martial arts. ”

Everyone present turned their eyes to look elsewhere, as if they were speechless, only muttering in a small voice: "Nonsense"

Mei Xiaoren

Walking up to Ei and turning his head to look at a corpse. The perpetrator kills quickly and accurately, killing him with a sword, and anyone can see that it is a master.

"Villain, you want to investigate this case"

Mei Xiaoren couldn't help but repeat: "Nonsense"

There is such a big murder on her territory, and the prefect is about to arrive, if she doesn't find out, she still wants this black gauze hat on her head

Mei Xiaoren walked around the plank, and now there are no other clues in the case except for these dead people and the injuries on the deceased. The perpetrator left no trace at all, and the murder was neat and clean, not to mention an ordinary master.

Jiang Rong said again: "If you don't check, you can't"

"Don't check" Mei Xiaoren was slightly surprised, and then raised the corners of his lips and smiled dryly, "Do you think it's possible, I want to be lazy, but the prefect may not agree." ”

"Jiang Gongzi, thirty-four lives, even if it is a bandit who dies, it is a big case." Ye Zhi sighed. The implication is that the adults of his family have no other way to choose, and no matter how difficult this bone is, it has to be gnawed.

Mei Xiaoren knocked on his palm with a folding fan and said, "I not only want to investigate, but also find out the reason before the prefect enters the gate of Qiushui County." ”

In the blink of an eye, she saw the moon outside the window. The moon is in the middle of the day, people should fall asleep, do not sleep to let the brain be clear and awake, where to have the energy to think.

Mei Xiaoren didn't have time to spend time here with Jiang Rong, she moved towards the door, leaving her back and waving her hand, "Let's disperse, come back early tomorrow morning." ”

"Villain, you can't investigate this case"

Ei's extremely solemn voice sounded behind her.

Mei Xiaoren was inexplicable, stopped and turned back, "What do you mean?"

"I said I could help you, but you don't believe it." Jiang Rong's eyes began to wander around uneasily, and after a long time, he slowly spit out, "I know who the murderer is. ”

Mei Xiaoren suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly walked back to Jiang Rong and asked, "Who?"

"They are not something you can provoke with a county order, you know what's the use" Jiang Rong looked into her eyes and said extremely seriously.

"I'm sick, is it fun to scare me" Mei Xiaoren glanced at Jiang Rong, "I'm not making meritorious service, I'm saving my life, you don't need to obstruct it, or you have to wait for me to be taken off my official hat before you are willing"

Mei Xiaoren's words were straightforward, because she no longer had the heart to sell anything to Jiang Rong, and all her energy had to be focused on this case, and within ten days, it must be solved.

"You're not saving your life, you're looking for death" Jiang Rong bit the tone and said, emphasizing word by word, "If you check again, you will die"

The people who were originally sleepy were all frightened and drowsy when they heard this.

Mei Xiaoren frowned: "What do you want to say?"

"Come out with me." Jiang Rong left this sentence and went out first.

Mei Xiaoren couldn't care about thinking about Jiang Rong's intentions, she just wanted to find an answer, so she followed out without thinking, leaving Ye Zhi and them to wait in Yizhuang.

Under the bright moon, by the city wall, where no one is.

Jiang Rong stopped and waited for Mei Xiaoren to approach, his expression still unusually serious.

Mei Xiaoren saw him turn around, and asked as he walked, "Why did you stop me from investigating the case?"

"You want to arrest the murderer and let them kill to pay for their lives"

"Whether they should die or not is up to the laws of Daning."

"You are wrong, now the powerful ministers are in calamity to the country, in this world, some people kill people to pay for their lives, and some people kill people without breaking the law." Jiang Rong Yao pointed to the direction of Yizhuang, "The people who killed them belong to the latter." ”
