Yang Ling plays chess like him, he is very aggressive, he likes to attack, but he is not weak defensively, and the prince's chess is also both offensive and defensive.

Mu Nanyun watched it from the side, and beckoned Qu Xiaobai to come closer to see, Qu Xiaobai was lazily eating pastries on the rocking chair, indicating that he was not interested.

Playing chess and watching chess, Qu Xiaobai will never love them. It's too much brains. If you have this spare time, you might as well push a few rounds of mahjong tiles.

Mu Nanyun and the prince were both scared, and no one would mention the word mahjong, and Qu Xiaobai just couldn't sit for a long time, so he didn't scare them.

After two games, Yang Ling drew and won one, it seems that he is getting better, seeing that fine beads of sweat have appeared on the prince's forehead, and the movements of the prince are getting slower and slower, Mu Nanyun looked at it, knowing that the prince was going to be inferior. For the husband Qu Xiaobai chosen, he felt more and more excellent.

The atmosphere in the room is quite harmonious, and there are no cumbersome rules like other big families. Several people sat and stood crookedly, and no one stood up to accuse them of having no rules and not understanding etiquette.

In fact, there is no one else in the house, so he doesn't talk much about etiquette and posture, and Mu Nanyun is a person who is in the same world as Qu Xiaobai, and he has no rules for a long time, he belongs to the master who can lie down and never be crooked, can be crooked and never sit, and can sit and never stand, so naturally he will not care about Qu Xiaobai's posture, and Yang Ling can't wait to give her a bed to lie down now.

Maybe the only one who disagrees with Qu Xiaobai's arrogant posture is the prince, but the prince has seen Qu Xiaobai's dignified appearance, much more dignified than those ladies in the palace, so even if he felt that Qu Xiaobai was dissolute, he didn't say anything.

Zhang Jinglin, who was preparing for a big banquet for the squires and wealthy who had come to honor him, heard the butler's report about the murder, and his heart chuckled.

The housekeeper is also a shrewd person, so naturally he didn't dare to say it in front of the public, but he called Zhang Jinglin to the porch to whisper to him.

Zhang Jinglin panicked and asked the housekeeper to call Master Wang and Catcher Kuai, and when the housekeeper came out, he met Chen Jiu, who had not left, and said, "You hurry up and call all the three classes of officials, and Qin Zhutou also calls." ”

The yamen can't do without catching heads, after Chen Jiu was masturbated, a person surnamed Qin Xi served as the head catcher, this person has good kung fu, and he was recommended by Wang Ping.

At that moment, Chen Jiu hurriedly went to call someone, and the housekeeper personally went to invite Wang Ping.

After Wang Ping came, Zhang Jinglin instructed him, "I can't leave here, master, please take the officials to see what the situation is." ”

He doesn't have much opportunity to loot the people's fat and ointment, and this year is the last year in office, so he naturally wants to make the looting of money his first priority. Whether you are promoted or return to your hometown in the future is inseparable from money.

Wang Ping was accustomed to Zhang Jinglin's absurdity, which was nothing, and nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll take a look." ”

Zhang Jinglin continued to go back to drink, Wang Ping waited for everyone to gather, led the team to Xicheng, and learned about the situation with Chen Jiu on the way.

Chen Jiudao: "I don't live in Xicheng, I drank too much wine last night, and I quarreled with the tigress in my house, so I went to my little concubine in a fit of anger." ”

Wang Ping was impatient: "Who wants to listen to your ideas, hurry up and get down to business!" ”

"Am I not going to say this? The way to my concubine's house, to pass through a wasteland, is also the only way to go to the county after entering the city, after I walked there, I heard the sound of fighting, ping-pong, I am fast, I can't ignore this matter, so I ......"

"Chen Jiu, can you fucking just talk about business?"

"Am I not talking about business? Look, brother-in-law, what are you anxious about? Wherever this goes, you have forgotten it. ”

Wang Ping hated to kick him away, and said angrily: "You go up and see, what's next?" ”

"When I stepped forward to take a look, I saw many people, the fight was very fierce, and there were some who would fly around, it seemed that they were all masters of the rivers and lakes, I took a lantern to shine, and there were corpses on the ground, one pressing the other, and it seemed that there must be dozens of people."

"Then why didn't you report it at the time?"

Wang Ping chuckled in his heart, he still knew very well about the forces in the open and secret here, it was not his person, so ...... So who will be in a large-scale fight? Mu Nanyun? Yang Ling? Or the crown prince?

If it was one of them, then I am afraid that I would not be able to see anything at the scene now.

Chen Jiu was verbose: "I...... Didn't I faint with fear? Nearly froze me to death, after ...... When I woke up, I saw that they had stopped fighting, and there were corpses all over the ground, and there was a river of blood...... I'll just, I'll hurry up and report the case. ”

Wang Ping's eyebrows furrowed, and his intuition told him that this matter was not simple, but he couldn't guess who was fighting with whom, because he couldn't guess, and the worry in his heart became even heavier.

"Alright, let's find the scene quickly."

Wang Ping urged impatiently.

Chen Jiu led people and followed the main road all the way to the west.

In the west of the city, because of the sparse population and the many poor people, the snow is not so clean, the road is full of potholes and ice and snow, one walk and one slip, it is very difficult to walk, the road is piled up on both sides of the black snow like a hill, not like the county center, the snow on the main road has been transported.

When the spring breeze approaches and the snow melts, you can imagine what kind of sewage will become here.

Wang Ping is not worried about this. The steps under his feet were not fast, and he was even deliberately delaying time, after all, no matter which of the three people committed the case, it was a case that could not be revealed to the world, and his best thing to do was to turn a blind eye and ignore it.

Take 10,000 steps back, if it weren't for the case committed by those few people, it was just an ordinary vendetta in the rivers and lakes, there was still the Mu family guarding here, and the prince was here, looking for responsibility, and he couldn't find his head.

There is also a Zhang Jinglin on his head.

In troubled times, the rivers and lakes are also chaotic, vendettas, fights, dead bloodsheds are not common, and even local popular uprisings occur from time to time.

Chen Jiu followed his memory and finally walked to the wasteland, but in front of him was a snowfield, because few people came here, and the snow here had not even been destroyed, and it was as good as ever.

"Hey, it's obviously here, why is it gone?"

Chen Jiu covered his head and began to doubt life.

Wang Ping was so angry that he scolded: "Raised by a son of a bitch, you start to faint when you drink a little horse urine, and you will toss us here for the New Year, what about the bloody case?" What about corpses? I think you're dreaming about it! ”

During the Chinese New Year, who didn't heat the kang at home with their wives and children, the officials began to complain. Chen Jiu was also stunned, he obviously saw it...... Is it really that you drink too much and dream?

"Okay, okay, let's go back and have a glass of wine to warm up, Chen Jiu's brain is stimulated, don't be surprised, when you turn around, I will make amends to everyone."

"Hey, brother-in-law......"

"Brother-in-law, what brother-in-law? I don't have a brother-in-law like you! Hurry home! If you go to the concubine again, I'll let your sister clean you up! ”

Everyone knew Wang Ping's status in the yamen, and the officials naturally did not dare to complain about him, and after saying a few polite words, everyone quickly dispersed.

Wang Ping watched everyone leave gradually, grabbed his brother-in-law and began to reprimand: "Why don't you hurry home and admit your mistake to your daughter-in-law!" ”

"No, brother-in-law...... I always felt like I wasn't dreaming......"

"Get out! And said it wasn't a dream! Look here, where is a drop of blood? ”

Chen Jiu didn't dare to say anything more, crying with a sad face, and walked home in embarrassment.

It wasn't until everyone left that Wang Ping furrowed his eyebrows deeply.

There were indeed no traces of a fight on the ground, and there were no blood stains in the snow, but the thick bloody gas in the air had not yet dissipated, and as long as you paid a little attention, you could smell it, and the further you went, the thicker it became.

Fortunately, he stopped everyone from moving forward in time, otherwise, I am afraid that this matter will be suspicious.

Wang Ping walked a little further and found traces of fresh snow on the road. It's not snowing, where is the new snow? Someone must have wanted to cover the trails and sprinkled snow on the road.

But outside the city, off the beaten track, who will notice if there is any trace of fresh snow here? After a few days, the snow melts a little and freezes, and people who walk by will not notice.

When the snow melts on the spring solstice, mud and water are mixed, where are there any traces?

Although the snow on both sides of the road is very smooth, if you look closely, you can see that it is not the original snow, because the original snow will melt after several days of sun exposure, even if it is cold, there will be a thin layer of ice and floating ash on the surface, but the snow here is just like the new fall, not the original snow at all.

It is true that if it weren't for the case, no one would have paid attention to such details, but Wang Ping is not an ordinary person, how could he let go of the clues?

Use a sword to pick up a little snow ball, and three inches below, you can see blood stains.

Wang Ping looked around, the snow was very flat, and the body should have been removed. Where will it go?

Wang Ping pondered for a moment.

Mass graves? Snow drift?

There is indeed a mass grave on the outskirts of the western part of the city, but the road to the mass grave has not been cleared, and it is unlikely that the body will be transported there without leaving a trace.

Snowdrift words...... There are so many big snowdrifts in and out of the city, who knows which snowdrift will be buried under them?

Wang Ping wandered around Xicheng for a long time, found nothing, and finally had to leave his hands behind. Passing by the high wall of Zhang Jinglin's back office, I heard the noise and cheers inside and the babbling of the drama and singing, and there was a sneering sneer in my eyes.

There is no need for him to find out the result, since he doesn't need it, it's better not to provoke it, after all, none of those people can be provoked by him.

Wang Ping thought and went to his home.

Mufu, the prince, who lost three games in a row, admitted defeat, "If you don't play, don't play, you will bow down." ”

Mu Nanyun helped on the side: "Yang Ling, you said you couldn't play chess, but you even won such a game, didn't you blush when you lied?" ”

"I'm just learning and selling." Yang Ling said lightly and set his eyes on Qu Xiaobai.
