Sending Yuan Xiu away, I looked at the portrait of the man she described and drew in a daze.

After a while, Tang Li knocked on the door and came in after the interrogation, "My lord, I've asked about it." ”

I poured him a cup of tea and sat him down for a drink before asking, "How's it going?" ”

"The adult is really like a god, when he asked Ling Pei'er, he used the adult's set of words, and sure enough, he knocked out some useful clues. However, Ling Peier insisted that she and Ah Zhu did not kill anyone, and we were also suspicious, so our subordinates did not investigate deeply. However, from the words of Wen Ya who asked Wen Ya later, some of what Ling Pei'er said was verified, you said, when they came together, would they be aware of our intentions and have already set up words in advance? ”

I shook my head uncertainly, and analyzed: "From today's Yun Jiaofang group, there are a few things that can be determined between the girls' remarks, they are not lying, first, Ah Zhu was indeed harmed by Jiang Zhong's old bastard for Yuan Xiucai. Second, it is true that there is a rift between Ling Peier and Ah Zhu and Yi Qinghuan, third, that is, Wen Ya was indeed harmed by Jiang Zhong downstairs yesterday, and fourth, that is, Yi Qinghuan went to the appointment at the same time. Based on the above articles, coupled with the descriptions of the four of them, this whole thing is considered complete, but the authenticity of Ah Zhu and Ling Pei'er's words still needs to be further verified, so tomorrow we have to go to the Drunken Wind Building to check with the guys in the store. ”

Tang Li agreed, looked at the portrait on the table curiously, and asked curiously, "Who is this?" ”

"He is an outlier in this case, when she asked Yuan Xiu, she said that she had seen a man drag Yi Qinghuan out, and it happened to be on the eve of sensitivity, I suspect that this person may be the owner of the man's footprints at the scene of the crime."

Tang Li looked at the person on the portrait, and his furrowed brows never let go, "How do I seem to have seen this person somewhere." ”

"You recognize?"

Tang Li shook his head, "I can't remember, if Gongzi is here, he may be able to remember this person if he can't forget it." ”

mentioned Chu Nian, this made me pay attention to the time, the time is approaching, but Chu Nian has not come back yet, this time it seems that he has been out for a long time.

"Tang Li, you tell me the truth, my lord has gone out early and returned late in the past two days, is there any progress in Lord Zhou's case?"

"There must be progress, but I don't know where it goes, after all, I've been following you to handle the case, and he hasn't discussed anything related to me. However, when Gongzi came back today, I saw that an old department of Lord Zhou also came with him, and he should have gone out with Lord Zhou's old department. That's right! There was something I forgot to say during the meal, Nian Zhongjun sent someone to deliver the news that Yi Qinghuan's father was indeed deceased. Because of the relationship between the criminals, the little bit of reporting is relatively slow, so there are very few people who know about it. It's not early, adults are tired for a day to rest, and their subordinates retire. ”

I answered, and after Tang Li left, I couldn't sleep, and I came to the courtyard with a teapot and sat by the patio to watch the night sky.

The night sky is starry, this flashes and that lights up not to be outdone, it's really beautiful and quiet.

I had been in prison for a year, and the only thing I could see from the window was these little stars, and now I suddenly found that the feeling of sitting outside and watching the sky freely is really more comfortable than sitting in a well and watching the sky in a big prison.

Retracted his gaze and glanced at the room where Chu Nian lived in the corner, it was pitch black and lifeless, didn't he plan to come back tonight?

said that he would do an errand together, what did he think? If you don't do good supervision, you have to change your identity, and you will be haunted by a day, what is this?

Does he not trust me, or does he think that my poor ability will drag him down? Am I so unreliable in his eyes? Can only be made as a vase ornament?

The more I thought about it, the more depressed I became, and I patted the stone table and stood up angrily, I must solve Yi Qinghuan's case as soon as possible, so that Chu Nian will definitely agree with my ability and let me investigate with him, yes, I will start to speed up my pace tomorrow.

"Poof!"

The sound of the heavy object falling from the back corner door came from the back corner door, and I jumped up from the stone bench, tiptoed over, held my breath and held the handle of the knife, and asked in a low voice: "Who?" Who's there? ”

There is a black shadow in the corner of the wall holding on to the wall and slowly getting up, today there is only a faint starlight, and the dark can only be judged by the outline that it is a person, and he is wearing a night clothes!

Assassin!

I was about to make a move when the man said weakly, "It's me." ”

I cautiously leaned over and asked tentatively, "Childe?" ”

"Hmm!" Chu Nian seemed to be injured, and he was a little out of breath when he spoke, and he took two steps forward with his arms in his arms and began to lean forward.

Fortunately, I helped me in time, "Childe, how did you do this?" Who hurt you like this? ”

Chu Nian didn't explain, just grabbed my wrist and ordered, "Hurry up and clean up the bloodstains, otherwise they will be in trouble when they find you!" ”

Troublesome?

It is a trouble that can make Chu Nian say that it is troublesome, and it must not be taken lightly!

When I wanted to ask what was going on, Chu Nian had already thoroughly cooked the meat dishes!

I hurriedly took the unconscious Chu Nian back to my room, and after helping him bandage his wound briefly, I went to find Tang Li.

Tang opened the door in a daze, saw the blood on my hands, his eyes widened, and without saying anything, he went in and dressed and came to my room to look for me.

He grabbed my wrist, looked up and down, and asked in confusion, "My lord, what's going on in the middle of the night?" ”

Tang Li's strength is so great, my wrist is about to be crushed by him, and he shook it off angrily, "You light, pinched!" It's not me who hurts, just come in with me. ”

I ushered him into the inner room, lifted the curtain of the bed, and showed him the sleeping Chu Nian, "The injured one is here!" ”

"Childe! This, my lord, why is Childe here for you? ”

I recounted Fang Cai's experience to him and glared at him, "Didn't you say that it would be okay to have that Arnold with him?" Just give protection like this? ”

Tang Li was speechless by me, "This, this has to ask the son!" So, what do we do next? ”

I'm also worried, because I haven't figured out what the trouble Chu Nian is talking about, "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, depending on the situation......"

Before I could finish my sentence, I heard the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping from time to time in the street outside. In the distance, I heard the sound of horses and messy footsteps.

I hurriedly hid Chu Nian, cleaned up the blood stains in the room, and aggravated the smell of incense to cover up the smell of blood.

Tang Li went out to inquire about the situation, and after a while, he came back and said with an ugly face: "It's the people from the city defense camp, and they also brought hunting dogs, it seems that they are determined to search out the son." Why don't your subordinates take your son out to hide! ”

I looked at the corners of my mouth speechlessly, and said angrily, "Are you stupid? You went out with such an obvious target as Chu Nian, and there were dogs following you, are you going to be beaten by the group? ”

"Then, do you just sit back and watch them kill and take away Childe?" Tang Li was also really anxious, and he was anxious to turn around in the room.

I had a headache watching him spin around, so I asked him to stuff Chu Nian's wrapping quilt into the cabinet. At the same time, I cleaned up the blood stains near the room and doorway, and took a thicker incense and lit it to hide the smell of blood in the room.

When he was done, he dragged Tang Li over and whispered a few words in his ear.

He listened and asked uncertainly, "Will this work?" ”

"Leave it alone, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor, unless you have a better way!"

Tang Li had no choice but to leave at my arrangement.

The sound outside was getting closer and closer, and I came to the place where Chu Nian had just fallen, and suddenly felt that there was someone behind me, and subconsciously pulled out a long knife to catch the other party's sneak attack.

In this way, we were fighting together, and the sound of clinking weapons was well known.

The post house handyman even heard the news and kept knocking on the corner door of the courtyard, "What's going on?" Lord Chu, are you alright? ”

I was so busy that I was sweating, how could I have the kung fu to catch him, and stabbed him with a backhand, but he was still cleverly avoided.

At this point, the handyman finally succeeded in knocking on the door, and when he saw me and the assassin fighting, he hurriedly shouted: "Come on, catch the assassin, catch the assassin." ”

What he wanted was this effect, and he gave a look to the person opposite, but he actually hesitated at a critical time, and Tang Li's embarrassed voice came from under the mask: "Come really?" ”

I gave him a roll of the eye and slashed it head-on.

Tang Li stabbed me in the right shoulder with a sword when I deliberately leaked a flaw, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat, only inhaling cool air.

I endured the pain, and while no one threw Chu Nian's night clothes to him, "Just do what I say, remember to be careful." ”

"Understood."

When the people outside led the dog in to support, Tang Li just came out over the wall, and he didn't forget to add drama to himself: "Bold thief, what do you want to do by trespassing in the inn!" ”

I covered my wound and turned my head away, almost holding back my laughter.

The dog's sense of smell was sensitive, and he ran out like crazy at the moment when Tang Li climbed over the wall, and the people from the city defense camp also chased him out.

I stared at the direction Tang Li left with pain, and asked the frightened post house officer, "Who are these people?" Who were the Assassins? ”

"Lord Hui, they are from the city defense camp, and it is said that there are thieves who broke into the city defense camp and stole the city defense drawings of Licheng."

"The city defense battalion?"

"My lord, you are injured, do you want to pass on your duties to Langzhong?"

I shook my head, "No need, small injuries, I'll deal with them myself, tell me to go down, and be careful at night." ”

"No."

When he returned to the room, he found the gold sore medicine and applied it to the wound, grinning in pain, and still couldn't help complaining in his heart: Tang Li, this bastard, I let you come to the real you are still sincere.

After taking care of the wound, he changed into clean clothes, and quickly dragged the unconscious Chu Nian out to lie down and re-examine the condition of the wound.

The wound is not deep, it does not hurt the muscles and bones, and the shape of the wound seems to be caused by a hidden weapon, judging from Chu Nian's current unconscious situation, the hidden weapon has been quenched with anesthetic, so that there is no poisoning.

I breathed a sigh of relief, I couldn't die if I wasn't poisoned, otherwise, I'm afraid I'd not be far from the burial.

In this way, Chu Nian can be regarded as having escaped for the time being, and it depends on whether Tang Li can successfully lure the enemy!
