In the quiet of the night, stacks of dry firewood were piled up in the huge backyard, and more than a dozen guards were closely guarded by open fire

Shen Zhitang walked in quickly, and Zhang Hui, the captain of the guard who had been waiting here for a long time, hurriedly greeted him: "My lord." ”

Shen Zhitang nodded: "Where is the body?" ”

Zhang Hui said: "It's in the firewood room"

Two male corpses dressed in the Qincha guards were placed on the ground, Shen Zhitang walked in front of the corpse, he pondered for a while, reached out and pulled the collar of the deceased's clothes, looked inside, and a fingerprint on his neck was very clear: "Zhang Hui~ Are there any guards who are on leave or not on duty today?" ”

Zhang Hui was inexplicable: "Huh? My lord~ Does this have anything to do with this? ”

Shen Zhitang turned around and said: "These two people were strangled to death by the murderer in front of them, if it weren't for acquaintances, the murderer couldn't have been so close."

Zhang Hui was shocked: "My lord, do you mean ~ there is a mole?" ”

Shen Zhitang nodded and said, "How did you do yesterday?" As he spoke, his eyes looked at Zhang Hui

Zhang Hui was furious: "The ginseng picker has been detained in the Xianghe Inn, and two guards have been sent to guard there, Boss He and Hengzhou Thorn Shi went all the way back to Hengzhou, as for that Wang Zhihua fought all night, he didn't say a word."

Shen Zhitang nodded: "Not bad~ Wang Zhihua has to tighten up a little bit, the wind and rain are coming!" We should be running out of time."

Zhang Hui said: "Yes~" pondered for a while, raised his head and said: "My lord~ When Xiaguan went to the Xianghe Inn yesterday, there was a person named Chen Jiebin, as soon as he heard that we took away those poisons, he had to make a fuss and come over, saying that those flowers and plants could not live for a few days without anyone to take care of them, and Xiaguan had no choice but to bring him"

Shen Zhitang raised his eyes and said, "Oh~ Then where is he now?" ”

Zhang Hui said: "The back garden, where the gardener lives"

"Take me to see it"

In the back garden, the elegant pavilion stands on the edge of the lake, a gust of wind blows, the lotus leaves on the lake are slightly swaying, the lantern hanging in the center of the pavilion is shaking, the dim light is shaking scattered, Chen Jiebin, who is dressed in a cyan robe, stands in the pavilion, looks around, and leaves

Shen Zhitang only glanced at him from a distance, turned to Zhang Hui and said, "Look at him!" If there is any change, report it to me."

The night was getting darker, there was silence in the house, and Shen Qiu was hurrying over

In the main hall, Shen Zhitang paced slowly, and Shen Qiu walked in: "My lord~ I saw that the young man of Qing had arrived"

Shen Zhitang's eyebrows spread and he exclaimed, "Oh~ Where is it?" ”

Shen Qiu smiled: "It's on the way here, just take a group of people to walk slowly"

Shen Zhitang ordered: "Go and call Xia Huaixu to the main hall" Pacing slowly, he remembered something and suddenly shouted: "Come on~"

The guards guarding outside the door immediately came in and saluted, "My lord~"

Shen Zhitang asked, "Did that Fa Cao bring someone today?" ”

The guard returned: "No~"

Shen Zhitang nodded: "I know~ step down!" ”

Xia Huaixu walked quickly, and when he saw Shen Zhitang, he immediately asked, "Uncle~ Shen Qiu said that you are looking for me?" ”

Shen Zhitang nodded: "Seeing that Qing brought the owner of the silver bracelet, you will see if you recognize it in a while."

Xia Huaixu's expression was extremely nervous, and he quickly returned to normal: "But Xia Jiajun? ”

Shen Zhitang didn't reply, his eyes staring at the door

After a while, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the door, and only Su Yun's voice was heard: "Little pity~ I'm back!" Do you miss me? Walking into the main hall, I saw Shen Zhitang and a strange man asking, "Where is the little pity?" ”

Shen Zhitang said ashamedly: "She's sick!" Resting in the room"

Su Yun shouted, "Sick? How could she be sick? Did you do something to her? ”

Shen Qiu hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Su Yun out and said, "Miss Zhilian, she's fine~ I'm already awake, I'll take you to see him"

The night was already dark, Su Yun scolded and walked to the door of Li Zhilian's room, pushed the door directly in, and saw her reading a book under the lampstand

Dressed in a short yellow outfit and with long loose hair, he looked a little gentle in the candlelight

Li Zhilian Huo Ran stood up and said, "Su Yun~ You're back!" ”

Su Yun ran towards her with her arms outstretched, and Li Zhilian hurriedly raised his leg to stop him and said in disgust: "Men and women don't kiss, and it's dirty~"

Su Yun pulled a stool by himself and said, "We've all slept together, why are you still seeing you outside?" Little mercy~ I'll tell you! You don't know I'm in danger along the way......"

Li Zhilian put down the book in his hand and said, "When you go, didn't I stop you?" Gotta go"

Su Yun poured himself tea and said: "We just walked for half a day, Xu Sen started, and then climbed the mountain all night, and when he reached the top of the mountain, he heard the sound of the flute."

Li Zhilian asked, "Flute?" ”

"Yes! We followed the sound of the flute, and Li Jianqing also captured a person named Xiao He, who is said to be the remnant of the Xiao family."

Li Zhilian asked, "Didn't you say that the Xiao family was wiped out more than five hundred years ago?" ”

"It's not that it was destroyed, but it was abdicated and the Tianyuan Continent was divided into four, and then the Xiao family was still a royal family, but it didn't have real power, and then it slowly disappeared, but seven or eight years ago, I heard that your Southern Xinjiang Kingdom slaughtered hundreds of people from the Xiao family......"

……

"Let me tell you, Li Jianqing is strange, we have people helping him all the way, and I heard that his father is Li Kun, the one who fought with your father for the throne at that time......"
