The ruthlessness of what he said instantly caused Bai Wuyuan to cover his chest and laugh: "Lord Qin, you are so ruthless. ”

When Bai Wuyuan said this, he winked at Qin Zheng again, and said with a somewhat mocking smile: "However, adults don't have to say it so surely. Although the beginning of our cooperation was not very pleasant, it is not necessarily that there will be no next time. After all, what if adults think I'm useful? ”

After saying this, Qin Zheng inexplicably felt a little ambiguous.

He glanced at Bai Wuyuan, and saw that the other party was smiling indistinguishably, but he frowned: "You should know, I have always hated people who are familiar with me. ”

Especially, when this self-cooked is still a mask.

Bai Wuyuan is still a mystery, he always feels that this person is ever-changing, just like the current appearance, how do you know that it is not another kind of disguise?

This feeling of being unable to see through made Qin Zheng feel that things were a little out of control.

And he hates it the most.

Hearing this, Bai Wuyuan smiled helplessly: "My lord, this kind of thing is not up to the subordinate to make his own decisions, right?" But don't worry, since you hate the appearance of the lower official, next time I will be less of an eyesore, and we will have to cooperate after all. ”

Hearing his words, Qin Zheng frowned slightly, and wanted to say something, but he heard a knock outside the door.

"Are you in there, sir?"

It was Zheng Huailuo's voice.

Zheng Huailuo's voice was a little short, thinking that he was in a hurry, so his breathing had not calmed down now.

"I'm here."

Qin Zheng got up and walked over to open the door, and sure enough, he saw Zheng Huailuo standing outside sweating profusely, his face was red.

It was rushed out on the road.

He went out on a temporary trip in the evening, and now he has only returned, because the matter is urgent, so the journey can be described as a quick horse.

Qin Zheng glanced at him, then looked back at Bai Wuyuan, and saw that the other party was looking at him innocently, so he said lightly: "Come in." ”

In his cooperation with Bai Wuyuan, there is no need to hide these things.

Seeing this, Bai Wuyuan obediently walked over and poured a cup of tea, handed it to Zheng Huailuo, and said with a smile: "Lord Zheng, have a cup of tea?" ”

Zheng Huailuo was hot, tired and thirsty now, so he was not hypocritical, he directly took the water and drank it all, before he said: "My lord, everything has been investigated, what the woman said is true, and her subordinates have seen it, far more than that." ”

In the evening, he was worried about how he would sleep.

But soon he won't have to worry about it.

Because the person sent out to check the clues directly sent him a signal and asked him to go over and take a look.

Qin Zheng was not here at that time, Zheng Huailuo directly left a mark, and he hurried over.

Who knew that after I went, I realized that things were unexpected.

Hearing Zheng Huailuo's words, Qin Zheng's expression also sank, and asked, "What's the matter, is there any other situation?" ”

Zheng Huailuo glanced at Bai Wuyuan, and heard the other party smile and said, "If it's inconvenient, the next official will go out first." ”

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Qin Zheng: "It's okay." ”

He didn't look at Bai Wuyuan either, but said, "You just say it." ”

Since he cooperated with Bai Wuyuan, he would have to know these things sooner or later.

Bai Wuyuan was a little surprised, and he laughed before sitting back down.

Zheng Huailuo was a little surprised when he saw this, and he didn't know what happened to the two of them, but now was not the time to worry about this.

He pondered the matter and said in a low voice, "It's a natural mine, and what is collected should be iron. ”

Iron can do many things, but when harvested in large quantities, the most common ...... It's a weapon.

Qin Zheng suddenly sat up straight and asked in a deep voice, "Go on." ”

Zheng Huailuo twisted his eyebrows and said: "The subordinates are not sure what they are going to do with that iron now, but judging from the current situation, the victims of the disaster should not be sent there directly to work as coolies, and if they are exhausted, they will be buried directly on the spot." Because there are a lot of guards there, the subordinates have not been able to confirm the situation in detail, so they have left someone over there to watch and come back to you first. ”

If things are as he guessed, then this time the matter is afraid to be big.

Qin Zheng heard what he said, twisted his eyebrows and thought for a while, and asked, "Where are the people who went to secondment soldiers and horses before?" ”

After reaching an agreement with Bai Wuyuan, Qin Zheng sent people to transfer troops and horses, and for the sake of safety, he transferred the guards who were friendly with the Heavenly Wolf Guard.

It's just that because of the long distance, I haven't arrived yet.

Zheng Huailuo was tracking the news all the time, and when he heard this, he immediately replied respectfully: "I have already arrived at the Tianhe Earth Realm, and the earliest is about tomorrow evening." ”

Tomorrow evening......

Qin Zheng calculated the time in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Let people watch over there first, don't startle the snake." You go back and rest first, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow. ”

After hearing his words, Zheng Huailuo responded: "Yes, then the subordinate will go back first." ”

He was tired now, and he had lost his usual hippie smile, and even that baby face was a little more cold.

After Zheng Huailuo went, Bai Wuyuan asked, "My lord, what do you need to do with the lower officials?" ”

Things are a little unexpected now, but Bai Wuyuan sees a bigger opportunity.

It's a danger, but it's also an opportunity.

It is said that time is also fate, and the premise must also be rich and dangerous.

Hearing his words, Qin Zheng said lightly: "Don't worry." ”

At the very least, he'll have to wait until he has someone in his hands.

Who knew that he had just finished saying this, and suddenly heard a sharp voice outside.

A firework exploded in the night sky, and it was not very conspicuous to look at, but Qin Zheng's expression sank instantly.

That's their unique flare, which represents...... More staff is needed!

Qin Zheng stood up suddenly, and saw Zheng Huailuo going and returning in a hurry, and without waiting to enter the door, he said eagerly: "My lord, but something happened?" ”

Before he could get to the room, he saw the signal outside, and ran straight over.

Seeing this, Qin Zheng nodded calmly and said, "Go and count the people, and follow me to Chunfeng Tower!" ”

Bai Wuyuan, who was behind him, also got up, and when he saw that he was leaving, he immediately said, "My lord, I'll go with me." ”

Hearing Bai Wuyuan's words, Qin Zheng looked back at him, but heard Bai Wuyuan smile faintly: "I have to let adults know, I still have some use, right?" ”

As soon as he said this, he saw Qin Zheng's gaze on his face scrutinizing more.

Bai Wuyuan was open-minded, and his expression of wanting to take credit was very obvious.

Qin Zheng finally just glanced at him deeply and said, "Okay." ”

When the words fell, the person had already gone out of the door, leaving only one sentence: "Wait at the door." ”

……

When Qin Zheng entered the door to change clothes, Gu Jiu was already asleep.

The anger in his expression decreased a lot when he smelled the dark fragrance floating in the room.

It was Gu Jiu's usual incense, and because it had been used for a long time, it was even floating with a faint fragrance on her body.

Qin Zheng slowed down, and gently walked to the cabinet to get a set of light clothes, but he heard the person on the bed turn over.

"Husband, are you back?"

The little girl's voice was a little confused, she opened her eyes to look at Qin Zheng, and saw that the other party was undressing.

Hearing her voice, Qin Zheng's hand paused, walked to the bed, touched her head, and said in a soft voice: "Well, I have to go out, Ah Jiu, you sleep first, and I'll be back in a while." ”

The man's voice was magical, and the reassuring words made her nod obediently.

Probably because he was too sleepy, Gu Jiu stretched out his hand in a daze and wiped it indiscriminately, took out a sachet from under the pillow, and muttered, "Husband, take this, pay attention to safety when you go out." ”

It was the sachet she carried with her, Gu Jiu jokingly made it a hundred poison sacs, and the contents were grabbed and thrown away, not to mention that a large piece of poison was poured down, at least three or five would not be a problem.

Usually, Gu Jiu took it to save his life, but when he heard that he was going out, he took it out directly.

Qin Zheng only felt a softness in his heart, and smiled and kissed her eyebrows, and whispered: "Okay, I'll take it, you can sleep." ”

As he said this, he took the sachet from her hand and tried to put it back under her pillow. Unexpectedly, the little girl seemed to have a sense, her eyes didn't open, and she muttered, "Don't put it back." ”

If it weren't for his excellent ear, he would have barely heard what she was saying.

is trapped like this, and there is such an obsession, which makes Qin Zheng funny and moved.

He had to put the sachet up, and said with a smile obediently: "Okay, it's packed for my husband, so can Ah Jiu rest obediently?" ”

After Qin Zheng's words, Gu Jiu continued to sleep satisfied. However, when Qin Zheng was changing his clothes, he hugged the coat he took off in his arms again.

Seeing this, Qin Zheng smiled helplessly, and didn't know what he thought, he put a dagger with a bladed blade next to Gu Jiu's pillow, and without disturbing her, he turned around and went out.

Before leaving, he quietly blew out the candle left for himself in the room.

The room was plunged into darkness.

The door creaked shut, blocking out the light from outside.

However, the moonlight slipped out of the window for a few minutes, shrouding a hazy glow.

The person on the bed turned over, and a pair of wonderful eyes opened, and there was a clear inside, and there was no sleep.

Gu Jiu's hand around Qin Zheng's clothes tightened a little, and Fu held the dagger in his hand again.

She has always slept very lightly.

And it's a little more acute than usual.

In the past, Qin Zheng was in a relaxed state when he entered the door, but today is different.

He has a murderous aura in him.

Gu Jiu knew that something must have happened, this treacherous little county town had made her feel too much wrong since she came.

And tonight will be unpeaceful.

Gu Jiu knew that she was useless, she didn't know martial arts, and she couldn't be a pawn for Qin Zheng.

All she could do was not cause trouble for him.

Also, give him what she saved her life.

If she was awake, Qin Zheng would inevitably give her words, so Gu Jiu could only give him the sachet by pretending to be asleep.

Fortunately, Qin Zheng accepted it.

If there is really danger, and I can't do it, then I would like to add one more protection to you.

At least, to the best of my ability.

……

The night wind is getting stronger, and it is clearly early summer, but when you enter the alley, it makes people shiver a little.

The alley is deep and long, and the bluestone slabs on the ground are covered with moss, and if you are not careful, your feet will slip.

Qin Zheng's steps were very steady.

He walked all the way, and the people behind him followed steadily, and at a glance he knew that he was well-trained.

Except for Bai Wuyuan.

He walked in the middle, but in that neat procession, he showed a little clumsiness.

It was only when he almost fell for the Nth time that he finally reached his destination.

It was at the end of the alley, and there was a lantern hanging in the doorway, a white lantern, as if it was going to be a funeral.

Exceptionally unlucky.

There was a person standing in front of the door, and when he saw them coming, he immediately greeted them with a respectful voice: "My lord, you are here." ”

It's Su Chen.

Seeing that the other party was unscathed, Qin Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a deep voice, "What's the situation?" ”

Su Chen didn't answer directly, just sighed in a low voice, and said, "My lord, go in and have a look, inside...... A lot of dead people. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions were cold, and Bai Wuyuan had a sad face before, but now he suddenly froze.

"Dead people?"

Su Chen nodded, got out of the way, and helped Qin Zheng push the door open: "My lord, watch your step." ”

Qin Zheng entered the door in response, and followed Su Chen's guidance and walked all the way in.

This small alley is the back door of Chunfeng Building, but the difference is that there are two back doors here.

The one that just passed by is leading to the Chunfeng Building.

And this one, it leads to a dark alley.

The dark alley is called the alley, but in fact it is a large semi-underground yard.

After turning around and around, we arrived at the entrance.

Narrow and cramped.

Before I even went in, I smelled a strong smell of blood.

It's fresh and scarlet blood.

Seeing that the group of people all covered their noses with handkerchiefs, Bai Wuyuan did the same, and also took the handkerchief out, but he didn't wait to cover his nose, he saw the terrifying scene inside first, and instantly felt a wave of nausea in his stomach: "Vomit-"

The ground was a mess, and things everywhere were thrown messily, sweat towels, rags, tables, chairs, benches, broken porcelain pieces, and there was almost no place for the lower corner.

It was on top of these wretches that there were more than a dozen corpses.

Dry and thin as firewood, described as withered, although it is a new death, but it is like an early death.

And without exception, they were all killed with a knife and cut their throats directly.

Bai Wuyuan turned his back and vomited, Qin Zheng didn't pay attention to him, just walked straight to the corpses and investigated, while asking, "When did you find out about this?" ”

Hearing this, Su Chen lowered his voice and said, "When my subordinates came, I saw someone sneaking the door, so I took the opportunity to sneak in. Unexpectedly, they found that it was already a step too late, and the people here went to the empty building, but only these corpses remained. It's a pity that his subordinates were confused for a while, and they actually forgot to let people follow him directly, and now although they have been tracked down, there is no news so far. ”

But the stakes were very high, so Qin Zheng was notified first.

Hearing him tell what happened, Qin Zheng understood.

"Let's search first to see if there are any clues available, and also, check the front yard, don't startle the snake."

After getting Qin Zheng's orders, everyone hurriedly went.

Bai Wuyuan finally vomited enough at this point, and when he heard Qin Zheng's words, he subconsciously turned his head, and when he saw that scene, he instantly felt his stomach tumbling again.

Qin Zheng glanced at him and sneered, "Lord Bai has the guts to do this? ”

Bai Wuyuan shouted in his heart that he was wronged, it was true that he had experienced darkness in the past, but he had never seen such a scene!

It's just that when he settles down, he frowns and says, "Do you remember what the old woman said at night?" ”

The scene in front of her proved that the old woman was right.

Qin Zheng twisted his eyebrows slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Su Chen, bring that old woman over, she must have a clue in her hand." ”

Since the old lady has been here and is still alive and well, she must know something.

After Su Chen went, Qin Zheng inspected the place again, but there were some unexpected gains.

"My lord, don't look at it."

At this point, Bai Wuyuan was probably used to the situation here, and when he saw Qin Zheng holding a belly pocket worn by a woman, he could still tease him.

Qin Zheng glanced at him, threw the belly pocket directly to him, and said lightly: "As a person from the Criminal Department, Lord Bai has learned some real skills in the future, so it is better to identify who is wearing it." ”

As soon as these words came out, Bai Wuyuan suddenly choked and coughed, and his belly pocket fell into his hand, as if he had received a hot potato.

However, this was thrown by Qin Zheng, most likely it was a clue, he didn't dare to really throw it away, so he could only sigh helplessly: "I said Lord Qin, the lower official has never been married until now, he is single, and he has never been to the Qinglou, how can he know ......?"

Before he finished speaking, he was stunned again and said, "This is what the Qinglou woman is wearing, right?" ”

A woman from a good family, who would wear such a thin and transparent belly pocket, and embroidered with glamorous words on it?

So......

"In this dark alley, there is not only a drug business, but also a Qinglou?"

When Bai Wuyuan thought of this, his expression suddenly lit up again: "Qinglou! ”

Chunfeng Lou will definitely not be just this one hiding place, since they transferred from here, and the business they do is also related to the Fengyue place, another hiding place is likely to be there!

Hearing what he said, Qin Zheng glanced at him and said, "Then my lord, let's talk about it, there are so many kilns in Deng County, which one will it be?" ”

Seeing that this person came to ask himself, Bai Wuyuan was rare and serious: "My lord, do you remember the most prosperous street when we went out in the evening?" ”

On that street, all the livelihoods were assigned to the county officials, while the rest of the city was either depressed or closed, and there were almost no people.

This at least shows that it is the place where Li Wu is in control.

And there is no need for that old lady to lie, if Li Wu is also involved, the fireworks place there will probably be the hiding place of the people in the dark alley of Chunfeng Building.

After he finished speaking, Qin Zheng nodded lightly, I have to say that Bai Wuyuan thought of one thing with his own thoughts.

Whatever the mystery of this man's life is, at least the clues he gave are useful.

As soon as he thought of this, he saw the person who had gone to search before walking in quickly, and said respectfully: "My lord, the person who went to track before sent a signal, and it is on Xuanwu Street. ”

Xuanwu Street is the street they wander around at night.

Bai Wuyuan's expression was overjoyed, but Qin Zheng's face was as usual, and he only ordered in a deep voice: "Go, go to Xuanwu Street." ”
