Yaocheng is just a small city in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are so many things that are confusing, it's hard to imagine anything else going on.

"Are we going to stay in this inn tonight?" Duan Heng also had no idea for a while, and threw questions to Mu Churan.

Mu Churan thought about it for a while: "Judging from the current situation, we should continue to live here, for the sake of safety, bring all the valuables with us, let's go to the street to inquire about the situation." "Mu Churan really thinks that this place is too weird.

Mu Churan was carrying all the silver tickets, and he walked most of the remote city, but he didn't encounter a single money village, and the silver tickets in hand couldn't be spent, and the street vendors couldn't find them, even if it was the emperor, he couldn't give away a whole silver ticket for a few buns, and he inquired with the street vendors along the way, all of which were Duan Heng and Xiao Hehua's silver.

……

It is also strange to say that walking in the streets and alleys of Yaocheng during the day is no different from ordinary places, the same lively and prosperous.

"This little brother, where is there a rich village in this remote city?" The three of them sat down at a tea shop on the side of the street. Duan Heng and Xiao He didn't have much silver on them, they were all silver tickets, and there was not much left after paying the room fee, and the most important thing at the moment was to exchange some silver.

"This guest officer is joking, in this remote city, all gold and silver are traded, and there has never been a silver ticket!" Xiao Er served the tea and said apologetically.

"No money?" How to say that it is also a small city, if it is said that there is not even a money bank, it is really unreasonable, Mu Churan has always stayed in the palace often and does not go out often, and he has never encountered such a thing. I didn't know what to do for a while.

"It's okay, young master, the silver that Xiao He and I brought on us is almost the same, but fortunately, we can still use the gold on our bodies to exchange some silver taels, even if we trade with gold and silver, we still have plenty of money." Duan Heng saw that this emperor who had never been out of the house was in trouble, and he comforted him.

Xiao He drank all the tea in the cup and walked to Xiao Er's side: "This little brother, then where should we go to exchange for silver taels?" ”

Xiao Er pointed to the jewelry shop opposite, "It's okay there." Xiao He nodded and thanked him. Turning his head to Duan Heng and Mu Churan, he pointed to the jewelry shop, and was about to walk over, but was attracted by the sound of festive firecrackers.

The team of relatives came from a distance, but the pedestrians on the street avoided it one after another, as if they were some kind of demons and monsters, and they couldn't avoid it, and even Xiao Er, who was still very talkative just now, smiled.

After the firecrackers burn out, there is no sound, there is no horn suona to receive kisses, and there is no lively atmosphere, and the sedan chair comes out of the smoke of the firecrackers, and it feels a little weird.

The originally noisy street became quiet in an instant, and even these people who received relatives did not have a trace of joy on their faces, which made Xiao He, who was closest to him, feel that this was not like a marriage at all, but like a funeral.

When the sedan chair was far away, Xiao He opened his mouth and asked, "Little brother, what's wrong, whose family's family affairs are so heavy?" ”

Xiao Er changed his enthusiasm just now, and his face became a little gloomy: "Guest officer, you are not from this town, it is better to leave after taking care of your own affairs, the matter here." Don't ask, just leave it alone. After Xiao Er finished speaking, he turned his head to accept the teacups on their table and continued to beckon others.

Duan Heng and Xiao He glanced at each other, took their swords and chased the sedan chair in front of them, while Xiao He and Mu Churan entered the jewelry shop on the side and exchanged silver taels.

After a while, Duan Heng came back, "What did you find?" Mu Churan stopped Duan Heng, who was about to pick up a cup to drink water, and asked very eagerly.

"Our guess is not wrong, this place is really more than that county, I followed it just now, and the sedan chair was sent to another government in the remote city." After Duan Heng finished saying this, he picked up the teacup and poured it down.

"According to the law of the Yin Kingdom, there can only be one official in charge of affairs in each city, and if other officials are in the city, they can't set up a private government, so since it is not the government of the county, who will it be?" Xiao He recalled the provisions in the laws of the Yin Kingdom.

Duan Heng saw that the sedan chair was sent to another mansion, and quickly rushed back with light skills, just sat down, and breathed a sigh of relief, "That's right, the problem in this city seems to be not small." ”

"Then tonight, let's go to the extra county office to have a good look." Mu Churan put down the cup in his hand heavily.

It was night, and the moonlight was like water.

The three of them performed light skills and climbed the head of the weird county government wall.

The bright red sedan chair was parked in the courtyard of the county office, and even the position had not changed, as if it had not been moved for half a day, until it was completely dark, and all the lights of the county office were turned on.

A person came out of the main house, lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and dragged the people in the sedan chair out, yes, it was dragged out.

"The person in the sedan chair won't be ......" Xiao He subconsciously guessed, she really didn't want to say it.

"It's either fainted, or it's probably ......," Duan Heng said softly cautiously. Fortunately, the distance was far away, and the people in the yard did not find three people.

"Shhhhhhhhhh

That's right! The person in front of him was the man in official uniform on the altar that day, even if he was not wearing official uniform, just with that familiar figure and vague appearance, Xiao He was very sure.

"Hey!" Mu Churan shook his hand in front of Xiao He, trying to attract Xiao He's attention.

"Huh?" Xiao He was suddenly interrupted from his train of thought, "What's wrong?" ”

Duan Heng was still looking at the topographical map of the entire county government, hoping to have the opportunity to meet the fake official who was careless about people's lives and killed him with his own hands.

"Do you have any ideas?" Mu Churan felt that Xiao He must have thought of something when he was distracted just now, and continued to ask.

"What exactly did they bring that girl there for?" Xiao He was a little puzzled, obviously the girl's face was ruddy, and she was obviously still breathing, who was the instigator, and who could send her daughter who was in the flower season to a path of death.

"I've already inquired about that kind of festival, which is often held, and they have already detained the girl, and it seems that if there is another man, they may have the next one." Duan Heng drew the floor plan of the county government from memory and analyzed it carefully.

It was night, and the three of them were wearing dark clothes, walking in the remote city at night, shuttling between the eaves and the walls.

"Yesterday, that person seems to be only active in that government, and he never goes out except for festivals like that." Duan Heng cautiously deduced that this place was far from that simple.

"His face is pale and his body is slender, he doesn't look like a man in his thirties, and it looks like he doesn't go out very often, and he doesn't even see the sun very often." Xiao He used to have a guard under him, just because he stayed in the secret room all the year round and didn't see the light of day, he finally became like that, and after he came out, he slowly recovered like a normal person, which he still knows very well.

The three people crouched on the fence of the county office, silently spying on every move inside, and the people inside did not move, staring straight ahead, making the three people a little suspicious of whether it was a dummy inside.

The three of them walked lightly to the ridge of the main house, ready to lift the tiles to take a closer look at the situation from above, Xiao He walked at the end, and suddenly loosened his feet, and one of them sank fiercely, and his heart tightened, "Damn!" "Oh no, it must have stepped on some mechanism.

Duan Heng and Mu Churan in front felt that the breath of the people behind them was getting farther and farther away, only then did they realize that Xiao He did not follow, turned their heads to look at the situation, Xiao He hurriedly signaled the two people in front of them to quickly dodge, Duan Heng and Mu Churan didn't know why, they did according to his gestures, and jumped on the trunk of the tree on the side with light skills.

Xiao He looked around, this is the roof, what kind of mechanism will there be, Xiao He carefully watched the surroundings, if there were some sharp arrows or other hidden weapons hidden somewhere, he was guaranteed to be able to tie himself into a sieve.

At this time, she can't make a sound, in order not to let the people below find out, she must perfectly dodge every hidden weapon, there is no alarm device on this mechanism, fortunately, so far, no one has found them.

I've seen the installation of mechanisms in the bushes, I've seen the installation of mechanisms in the house, he really hasn't seen it, and he can also install mechanisms on the roof, but also, although the place on the roof is wide and easy to dodge, but after all, if the people on the eaves make a little noise, it will attract the attention of the people in the house, Xiao He sighed, and slowly raised his feet carefully.

At first, Duan Heng and Mu Churan thought that it was the two of them who made too much noise during the walk, so Xiao He would let the two of them go down first, but now they saw him carefully raise his feet, and then they understood. It turned out that Xiao He was actually because he stepped on the mechanism!

As soon as Xiao He raised his foot, three arrows shot out from the direction of the gate, Xiao He had been thinking about the surroundings, dodging these three arrows was naturally not a problem, Xiao He didn't even move his feet, and he avoided it by bending down slightly. But the arrow on one side dodged and there was the other side, Xiao He flipped forward a few times in a row, and then successfully dodged all the dark arrows, the surroundings were quiet instantly, no more arrows were shot, Xiao He was relieved, but it was obvious that he had to go back today, Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief, and an arrow flew out from under a tile in the eaves.

The distance of the "Hmm......" arrow was too close, Xiao He thought that he couldn't dodge it, but he was suddenly obscured.

Duan Heng gritted his teeth to prevent himself from making a sound, and struggled to squeeze out two words from between his teeth: "Hurry up." ”
