Chapter 31 There must be something strange

Mai Jiu quickly brought brushes, paper, and ink. She lay on the counter and struggled to write, and the rest of the people looked at each other.

She lay on the counter for half a column of incense, and the other people in the room had already sat on their chairs and drank a few cups of tea.

Mai Jiu put down the brush and said proudly, "I'm done." She picked up a thick wad of rice paper and walked towards Guo Qiyan.

When he saw the paper in Mai Jiu's hand, Guo Qi drank half of the tea and spit it back, he took the paper and read it roughly.

The contract was written in great detail, and after reading it like this, Guo Qiyan was speechless. He raised his eyes to look at Mai Jiu and looked down a few more pages.

I didn't expect this person to be serious...

Guo Qiyan just felt that the person in front of him was rich and willful and wanted to open a shop and play around, but when he looked at it today, he realized that he was really joking.

He hesitated and said, "I... I signed. ”

What should I do if I don't sign it... The person in front of her is a princess, and she has to sign if she doesn't sign it.

Mai Jiu jumped to the counter, picked up the brush and ink, and then walked back again.

Now she is happy, very happy, very happy.

She handed the brush to Guo Qiyan, Guo Qiyan took the pen and was about to write, but Mai Jiu said, "I signed the name, the contract is effective, and there is no remorse, do you know?" ”

The tip of the brush was about 0.1 centimeters away from the paper, and it finally fell.

"Your offer is so attractive, how can I disagree."

Mai Jiu stared at Guo Qiyan and wrote down his name, and then quickly handed over the ink, Guo Qiyan glanced at the ink, but hesitated and raised his hand to take it.

Yin Ni also completed the contract and it came into effect, and Mai Jiu took another step closer to his dream of being a boss.

"It's a pleasure to work with." Mai Jiu patted Guo Qiyan's back and said.

Guo Qi smiled awkwardly, wanted to cry but couldn't cry: "Happy cooperation." ”

Mai Jiu couldn't wait to go back to his house to discuss with Wei Xiran about opening a store in a few days.

She picked up the wad of paper and held it in her arms like a heart baby.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something, turned around and said, "I won't learn the secret weapon, I have more important things, so I'll leave first." After saying that, he walked out without looking back.

Mai Jiu's steps were fast, and as she walked, she noticed that something was wrong, how...

She's lost...

Mai Jiu looked back, she clearly remembered that it was this side, let's go back, she walked back along the road she came from.

The alley was quiet and long, no one came, the doors of each house were closed, and some were even locked, so quiet that there was not even a bird's call.

Mai Jiu walked along the wall, and was about to turn when he suddenly crashed into a man's chest.

Because of the impact on Mai Jiu, she closed her eyes in fright, she opened her eyes and stepped back slightly, the person in front of her was dressed in black, and her eyes slowly moved up to see this person's appearance clearly.

With a tall nose, thin lips, and sword-like eyebrows flying diagonally into a few strands of black hair under the corners of his sideburns, such an impeccable face had an extremely ugly scar.

This scar does not make people think much about the origin and identity of this person.

The person in front of him frowned deeply and looked at the person who had been staring at him.

Mai Jiu also noticed the change in the man's expression, and she hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry." After saying that, she turned around and fled, but after taking a few steps, she retreated back and said with a smile, "Do you know how to get out?" ”

The man glanced at the person in front of him from top to bottom, and Mai Jiu also looked down at herself, she looked at the money bag on her waist, and suddenly realized that she untied the money bag from her waist and handed it to the man.

"Fare."

The man glanced at the money bag and then at Mai Jiu, turned around and said, "Come with me." ”

"Okay, brother." Mai Jiu followed behind the man.

The man led her to the entrance of the alley, and outside was the bustling street, Mai Jiu stepped forward and wanted to stuff the money bag into the man, but the man stepped back.

The money bag fell to the ground.

Mai Jiu looked up at the man's still expressionless face, she squatted down and picked up the money bag and patted the dust on it.

The man said, "No. ”

Hearing this, Mai Jiu tied the money bag around her waist again, she raised her head and smiled, "Thank you, although you look weird and scary, you are quite good." After speaking, Mai Jiu waved his hand at the man, turned around and left.

The man looked at Mai Jiu's departing back, took out a mask from his waist and compared it to his face, it was a mask like a wolf and an eagle.

The man looked at Mai Jiu's departing back through the eyes on the mask, and whispered, "Good man..."

After saying that, he raised the corner of his mouth and snorted disdainfully, hid the mask behind him again, turned around and disappeared into the alley.

Sang Huai'an set off early in the morning and arrived at Wucheng at noon, and as soon as he entered Wucheng, he was shocked by the desolate scenery in front of him, there was not a single pedestrian on the street, and the shops were closed, like an empty city.

Far away, Governor Li trotted all the way to pick up the car, and in a panic, he almost fell.

Governor Li knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said, "The lower officials see the prince, and the lower officials greet the late ones, and I wish the prince forgiveness of the sins." ”

Sang Huai'an, who was sitting on horseback, looked down at the person in front of him, and he said in a deep voice: "Get up." ”

Governor Li got up and walked respectfully to the right side of the prince, and followed the prince forward.

Sang Huai'an sat on horseback and observed the surroundings as he walked, "How can the city be so desolate, where have the people gone?" ”

"Wucheng is a small city, and when such a horrific thing happens, of course the people don't want to come out."

Sang Huai'an continued to ask, "In the past few days, there is something wrong with Wu Cheng. ”

"This..."Governor Li thought for a moment and continued, "A few days ago, there were a few outsiders who lived here for a few days, saying that they had come to Beijing to find relatives and come here to rest, and there was nothing else. ”

"What about Lord Wu's mansion?"

Li Zhifu saw that he couldn't keep up with the pace of the horse, he stepped forward a few times and replied, "There is no vision, Lord Wu resigned a few years ago and returned to Wucheng, Lord Wu cares about the people, and paved a new road for the people a while ago. ”

After Li Zhifu finished speaking, he looked at the fork in front of him and said, "In front of the prince, you turn left." ”

Sang Huai'an pulled the reins and slowly turned to the left.

"Why are you alone? What about the officials of the yamen? ”

Governor Li sighed: "The officials also followed the soldiers sent by you, Lord Wang, to guard the Wu Mansion together, and there was a miserable situation inside." ”

Sang Huai'an looked at the gate of the Wu Mansion that was not far from the front: "Has the autopsy been performed?" ”

"Yesterday night, it took three people to experience the 200 corpses of the Wu family, all of them were knife wounds, and some of them were traumatized, and they were probably knocked during the fight."

Li Zhifu suddenly remembered something and said quickly, "By the way, I found a muddy footprint in the house, it seems... It's a totem... Again. ”

Sang Huai'an turned his head to look, he interrupted Governor Li's tone and said urgently: "Similar to an eagle and like a wolf? ”

Governor Li hissed, shaking his eyes, thinking back to the footprints he had just found this morning, and he slapped his palm: "It seems to be." ”

Lin Chen had also been listening attentively, he looked at Sang Huai'an's heavy expression, and asked softly, "Do you know this totem?" ”

Immediately arrived at the Wu Mansion, Li Zhifu hurriedly said, "Lord Wang, the front is the Wu Mansion." ”

Sang Huai'an pulled the reins back, the horse's neck leaned back and stopped, and the two behind also stopped the horse.

Sang Huai'an jumped off the horse, looked at Lin Chen and said, "I'll talk about this later." ”

Entering the mansion, Sang Huai'an and the three of them were shocked, the corpses were arranged in the courtyard in order from largest to smallest, covering the entire courtyard, the small one was only seven or eight years old, and they did not let go of the dogs in the Wu Mansion.

Governor Li stepped on the gap between the corpses and the corpses with ease, and said as he walked inside: "The corpses of Lord Wu's family are all in the house, Lord Wang, come with the lower officials." ”

Sang Huai'an and the three of them followed in the footsteps of Governor Li, stepping on the gap between the corpses and walking towards the house.

Governor Li stopped outside the house and stretched out his hand to stop the person behind him: "Lord Wang, be careful of your feet, the footprints left by the assailant are also in this house, and they were only discovered this morning." With that, he lowered his arm and stood aside.

Sang Huai'an and the three of them cautiously entered the house and inspected the ground.

The servants in the room checked the corpse, heard the movement and looked together, and when they saw that the person who came was the prince, they hurriedly got up, walked forward, knelt down and saluted, "The grass people participate in the prince." ”

Sang Huai'an raised his hand and said, "Get up." ”

After speaking, he stepped forward to check the corpse, and all the corpses were stabbed in the heart, and the direction did not deviate from the direction by a point.

Li Zhifu followed and walked to the house, he stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the door of the inner room: "The footprints are there, they are mud shoe prints." ”

Sang Huai'an nodded, got up and walked towards the back room.

It was indeed a mud footprint, not crooked or slanted, just imprinted the entire totem of the sole, as if it were done on purpose.

"Just this one?" Sang Huai'an squatted down and looked at it carefully.

Li Zhifu also looked at the footprints and replied, "Yes, there is only this one, near this gate, and I didn't find it yesterday." ”

Lin Chen also saw the clue, even if he stepped on the mud and walked into the house, there were no other footprints, but this footprint was too boxy, and there was no intention of leaving in a hurry.

"They're provoking." Lin Chen said lightly.

Sang Huaian stood up and smoothed the folds on his hem: "That's right." ”

Sang Huai'an turned around and walked towards the corpse, and Lin Chen and Liu Shaoqing also quickly got up and followed behind the prince.

"Who in the end dares to make a mistake in Da'an like this." Lin Chen followed closely behind Sang Huai'an and spoke rapidly, he was eager to know the truth from the prince's mouth.

Sang Huai'an walked up to Lord Wu's corpse and checked the wound: "It's an ancient tribe. After he finished speaking, he walked to the corpse of the eldest lady of Wu Mansion next to him and checked the wound: "This king has fought with them, they are good at using broken blades, and they are also very good at fighting. ”

"The murderer is already known, so we will issue a wanted warrant."

Sang Huai'an raised his head and looked at Lin Chen, his eyes were sharp: "No one has seen their appearance, their whereabouts are erratic, and it is preliminarily judged that their target is this king, and then..."

Sang Huai'an lowered his eyes and continued: "Then the emperor, and then the whole Da'an. ”

When they heard this, all the people in the room were stunned and poked there like half a piece of wood.
