Night shrouded this town on the northwest border, and the dilapidated walls of the ancient pass could not stop the cold wind that swept in from the outside of the fortress.

In front of the shops on both sides of the street, under the eaves, the dim gas dead lamps hissed in the wind, swaying left and right, as if they would return at any moment.

Jian Qing came out of the county office, she walked against the wind, and the sheepskin jacket wrapped around her body couldn't stop the cold.

The wind howled through the narrow streets. Taking a breath, the oncoming wind poured straight into her nose, and her throat was like drinking half a catty of burning knives, and it hurt hotly.

In his previous life, Jian Qing, as a doctoral student who graduated from the University of Political Science and Law, had a good corpse in his hand, and after becoming famous, he was often invited to help from other provinces, and he went to many places all over the country. However, she has never been to Shanxi.

So much so, on the fashionable crossing train, the wind came at a gallop, and she was reborn in the body of the girl with the same name and surname as her, two months, Jian Qing still can't adapt to this climate, and the entity knows what it means to "live like a year".

"If only he were a man!" The ability to protect against the cold will be stronger.

Jian Qing was dressed as a man, but the crossing did not change her gender.

Jian Qing's family is a lowly family, and his father is a lowly servant. When Jian Qing crossed over, he went to the river for an autopsy, fell and couldn't afford to get sick. There is also a mother and younger brother at home, but the younger brother Jian Che is only seven years old, in order not to make the family have no place to live, Jian Qing returned to his old business and took over his father's class.

Jian Qing's genes are very good, the two sisters and brothers choose the advantages of their parents, and they are both born with exquisite eyebrows and eyes, in the words of Aunt Wang next door, "the beauty who came out of the painting", but the family is poor, just in case, the mother Cui has always dressed her daughter as a man.

The son inherits the father's business, but it is also justified.

Lingqiu belongs to a lower county in Ulzhou, Datong Prefecture, with only more than 2,000 households in the county and less than 30,000 annual endowments.

Xia County ordered from the seventh grade, after Jiang Zhonglin was twenty years old, the green smoke on the ancestral grave seemed to be finished. Since then, after repeated attempts, more than ten years have passed, seeing that people are middle-aged, it just so happens that the Ministry of Officials has a vacancy in Lingqiu County, and Jiang Zhonglin easily grabbed it.

Jiang Zhonglin really hopes to work here for three or five years, and if he is excellent in performance evaluation, he will have a clear intention to be promoted, and it is also good to change to a slightly more solid Zhongxian and be promoted to half a level. Who knows, just welded here, for more than ten years, and has survived to the age of Ben Wu now.

Not long ago, Jian Qing heard that Jiang Xian Ling finally took the path of a certain adult in the court, and sent no less than ten bear skins, and finally found a sentence, "If there is no accident...... Who knows, if the words are not overnight, there will be an accident.

Yesterday, on the third night of October, a guest died in the Tianzi room on the second floor of the Xinglai Inn.

The deceased came from the south, entered the city at the end of the Shen period, and stayed at the Xinglai Inn at about two o'clock. At three o'clock, the guest wanted to take a bath in the soup, and after the shopkeeper sent it in, the guest never came out, and early this morning, he was found dead in the bath tub.

Jian Qing and the fast patrol went to check, the door between the heavens was latched from the inside, the windows were closed, and the deceased was naked, sitting in the bathtub.

A dagger was inserted a few centimeters to the left of his breastbone, and the blade was completely submerged, leaving only the hilt out.

Jian Qing preliminarily deduced that the murder weapon passed through the gap between the ribs and went directly to the heart, causing coronary artery hemorrhage to compress the heart, and the time of death would not exceed one minute, and the amount of blood would be very small.

The deceased's whole body stiffened, but the contraction of the smooth muscles of the intestinal wall due to the formation of the mortis began to ease, and Jian Qing deduced that the time of the deceased's death was about four to five hours.

There was no trace of a fight at the scene, and after Jiang Zhonglin personally investigated the scene, he was ready to condemn the case as suicide.

This is indeed a joy for all!

Lingqiu County is not big, a main road can only accommodate three carriages side by side, and each has two auxiliary roads parallel to the main road, which is even narrower. The shops operating on the main road are taller, except for firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and the grocery store selling some goods from the north, there are two or three inns and restaurants and green buildings.

Among the green buildings, the business of the jade building near the city gate is the most prosperous, and the girls inside mostly come from the south. The head card is born a thin horse, has been an official concubine of the fine willow, her face is like the flower of spring dawn, the waist is like the wind of the fine willow, a good voice such as the yellow warbler out of the valley, the sound of the pipa can attract the phoenix, many guests come to admire.

However, it is said that Hosoyanagi does not pick up customers. Jian Qing is also very curious, after all, those who are engaged in this line of work, only the unbroken budding girl who is not old enough to be sold by the bustard will not accept customers.

The front is the jade building, Jian Qing looked up, the building is three stories high, the flower building in front of the door is beautiful, in such a small place as Lingqiu County, there is a sense of standing out from the crowd.

Inside the building, the lights are bright, and the two palace lamps under the eaves of the corridor illuminate most of the street.

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking the air, Jian Qing reflexively raised her head, and a black object flew out of the middle window of the third floor of the Lane Jade Building, and was smashing on the top of her head.

Jian Qing's soles stomped on the ground, and her body rushed forward like a harrier, rolling on the spot to avoid it, and the black object smashed into the place where she had just stopped, shattering.

It is a Shaoxing white tire blue and white holding pot, the high flow is long, the glaze is moist, and the fragments are decorated with entwined lotus flowers.

On a cold day, a layer of sweat broke out on Jian Qing's body.

She looked at the window, and the ambiguous light could shine through the window paper, and she could imagine the red candles flickering inside. Jian Qing didn't know if someone was hiding behind the window to peek at this time.

Who the hell is it?

Jian Qing should have rushed upstairs immediately to see who was trying to harm her?

But she's not that stupid, she's a lowly worker.

A flask was thrown out of the green building, and it seemed that the drunken guest had forgotten what he had done. But Jian Qing doesn't think so.

She was originally the predecessor of this body, who died and was reborn. She hasn't figured out why her ex died, and besides, she has almost met with accidents three times after two months of life.

The first time was walking in the market, someone rushed towards her on horseback, and if she hadn't dodged quickly, she would have been trampled to death.

The second time was when she was squatting by the river to wash her face, and someone pushed her from behind, and she fell headlong into the river.

Recently, on the way to Yamen, her back suddenly caught fire, but fortunately, the hand selling tofu brain next to her was fast, and a spoonful of tofu brain was poured over to help her extinguish the fire.

This is the fourth time.

Someone wants to kill her, perseverance!

Jian Qing was shocked, who is it? It's like a race, and she has to find out who the killer really is before he strikes again.

Jian Qing's family lives on the left back street behind the Langyu Building, and her family is an outsider, so she rents half of the side room of Widow Zhou's house to live.

It was so late, her mother was sitting on the kang under the west window with her brother in her arms, Jian Che saw her brother coming back, struggled out of her mother's arms, and pounced on Jian Qing, "Brother is back!" ”

Someone was talking in the room, and when they heard the movement, their father's panting voice came, "Is Qing'er back?" In! ”

Jian Qing pushed the door and entered, and there was a man sitting on the round stool in front of his father's bed, about twenty years old, with a light Qiu Bao belt, his shoulders and back were straight, and his hands were on his knees.

The man turned his head in response, and a pair of sword eyebrows and starry eyes crashed into Jian Qing's eyes.
