Jiang Yue suddenly looked up at Xiao Chuyun, thought for a moment, and thought carefully about the ins and outs of the matter, he did not doubt Xiao Chuyun's statement.

Jiang Yue rubbed his stomach, and after a moment, he asked very calmly, "Why did you tell me?"

Xiao Chuyun sat aside with a little dodgy eyes, which made Jiang Yue more and more curious, and he was even more suspicious of her identity, what he didn't expect was that this question would actually come to him.

"Because you're a fast catcher! If I don't tell you, will I tell someone else? Xiao Chuyun looked to the side and said with a little pout.

"Then the jade pendant is at your place?" Jiang Yue asked.

As soon as Xiao Chuyun wanted to speak, he swallowed back the words in his mouth, and after thinking about it, he said, "No, but I think this jade pendant has nothing to do with this case."

Jiang Yue got up and walked a few steps towards the door, suddenly stopped, looked at the door and said slightly, "I'll pay attention."

Jiang Yue walked on the street alone, swaying like a drunken son, and the snow on the ground only left a line of crooked footprints, and nothing else.

After not walking a few steps, Jiang Yue suddenly turned around and walked towards the south of the city.

By the time the time came, all the houses had already extinguished the candles and slept peacefully, and only the lanterns of the shops had just been replaced with new candles, giving a faint light to this cold winter night.

He came to the post envoy's house again, looking at the seal that had been affixed to the door, Jiang Yue didn't intend to take it off, but directly supported the tile on the wall with one hand, jumped over, and turned into the courtyard.

All this is too strange, it seems that everything seems to point to the Boyue Sect, but in all this, there is always a sense of not being simple, and at the same time, he is also curious, what did this post envoy see him, so that he didn't even dare to send the letter, and he also lost his life for it.

Jiang Yue took out the fire fold and walked around the yard again, hoping to find something, but after looking around, he still found nothing.

When I entered the house, it was still the same as it was in the evening, and there was no trace of a fight except for the hole in the beam where the iron rod was inserted, and there was no trace of blood on the ground, which only showed one thing: the murderer was looking for something!

At the same time, the messenger returned, and there was no chance of survival, and one move was fatal!

"Who the hell is it?" Jiang Yue looked at this beam, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart, such a cruel method of killing people is still rare.

Jiang Yue suddenly thought of one thing, the shopkeeper of the black shop and the shopkeeper all died in the same way as him, they were both nailed to the beams of the house by an iron rod through the skull, could it be that the murderer would carry an iron rod every time he started or performed a task?

The house had been destroyed, and nothing useful could be found, so was it really in vain?

Jiang Yue, who returned to the county office, saw that there was still a faint candlelight flickering in the class room where he was resting, so he walked straight over.

"It's not you on duty, why haven't you gone back yet?" Jiang Yue looked at An Shimo, who was lying on the table in a daze, and asked with some puzzlement.

When An Shimo saw Jiang Yue coming back, he immediately came to his senses, and instantly jumped up from the bench, although the candlelight in the room was dim, he could still see the curiosity and joy on An Shimo's face, I saw him pull Jiang Yue to the table, and asked very curiously: "Who is today's girl?" Which little lady is inseparable from you? How come I haven't seen it? ”

Jiang Yue glanced at him coldly, sometimes I really don't know what An Shimo has in his head, why is he not in the county government these days, isn't An Shimo clear?

"Xiao Chuyun, the orphan of the Xiao family!" Jiang Yue said impatiently.

"I say, where did you come from! It turned out to be the daughter of the Xiao family, and sure enough, there must be a mother and a daughter, and this appearance is all first-class! An Shimo couldn't help but smack his aftertaste on the side, and when he came back to his senses, he said to Jiang Yue again: "My stomach must be empty so late, I still have a jar of wine here, why don't you have some?"

Jiang Yue hurriedly jumped up when he heard this, and took two or three steps back, the most unpleasant thing now is to eat the word, accompanied the little girl to eat a bowl of wontons, and when he returned to the hospital, she stuffed a bowl of rice and two dishes, and now he can't wait to go out to eat, how can he have the stomach to eat again!

Jiang Yue hurriedly refused: "I still have something to report to the adults, you have nothing to do and go back early!"

After that, he hurriedly retreated, and walked to the study in the back hall without a moment's delay.

Walking through the corridor and walking under the willow tree on the side, I saw Gong Siqi, the magistrate of Jintai County, sitting very lazily at the stone table in the courtyard.

I only saw that he was dressed in a white robe, his hair was scattered and draped, only a silver hairpin was fixed on his head, the night was dim, only a few lanterns by the courtyard were illuminated, but he could still see clearly the heroic spirit exuded between this young man in his early twenties and his eyebrows, his skin was delicate and fair, and it was not an exaggeration to say that his skin was like mutton fat jade, his eyes were like stars in the sky, his lips were like cinnabar, and his teeth were like pearl white.

At this moment, the faint light lined the snow underground, reflecting him lazily like a moon scattered immortals.

He was sitting on the stone table with a pot of wine, a plate of peanuts and a plate of side dishes, and he was drinking alone.

Seeing this, Jiang Yue immediately stopped, seeing this scene, and just when he wanted to turn around and leave, Gong Siqi opened his mouth and stopped him: "Jiang Yue, is there something wrong with looking for this official so late?" ”

Jiang Yue had no choice but to turn around and walk over, standing aside and bending down to salute and say, "Jiang Yue has no intention of disturbing Lord Yaxing, but there are some clues in this case, so I am here to report it!"

Gong Si pointed to the stone bench opposite him and said, "Sit down and talk about something!"

Jiang Yue glanced at Gong Siqi, how could he, a first-class catcher, sit with an adult? What's more, he can't hold on now, let alone sitting, he is uncomfortable standing.

"My lord, do you know about the envoy?" Jiang Yue asked directly, because he didn't want to sit down, so he simply said the right thing and quickly bypassed this polite sentence.

Gong Siqi nodded, looked into the distance with some melancholy, his eyebrows tightened slightly, and he said in distress: "Xiao family...... If it's just an ordinary walk, but this murderer is very bold, and he kills people and sets fire so obviously, is this for fear that people in the world will not know? It's been so many days and there are no clues, so how can this official give an explanation to the people? How to give an explanation to the emperor? ”

"Your Majesty?!" Jiang Yue didn't expect that this matter would alarm the emperor.

Gong Siqi bowed his head slightly and sighed: "Xiao Teng, the ancestor of the Xiao family, can be described as the founder of the country, he has never lost a battle in his life, and he is not greedy for power when he retreats after success, but only in this small Jintai, he is an ordinary person, which is already admirable!" Now, the border is in turmoil, the people in the border city are miserable, the emperor intends to let Xiao Zhengqing, the descendant of Xiao Teng, the master of Xiao, wear battle armor and take charge of the army, but this official document has just arrived in my hands, and before I can tell it, such a tragedy happened, how can the emperor not pay attention? ”

At this point, Jiang Yue has already heard the implication of the words, this matter, if the emperor doesn't pay attention to it, it's okay, if the emperor really pays attention, then the outcome of this matter, you have to be careful and careful, otherwise you will only invite yourself to kill, no wonder the county magistrate is so anxious.

"My lord, Miss Xiao was almost assassinated today, and someone claimed that it was for the Pisces jade pendant!" After thinking about it, Jiang Yue spoke.

After hearing this, Gong Siqi raised his hand and picked up the wine jug, poured a glass of wine into his wine glass, looked back, and then said: "I remember that you told this official that this matter is related to the Boyue Sect, according to you...... Could this murderer be from the Boyue Sect? ”

"My subordinates don't know! But the subordinates heard rumors in the rivers and lakes today that someone spent 10,000 taels of gold to invite the five protectors of the Boyue Sect as guests, but it was just ...... I don't know if this matter has anything to do with this case" Jiang Yue can only answer this question.

As soon as these words came out, Gong Siqi was even more worried, and after a slightly self-deprecating laugh, the sorrow between his eyebrows became more and more heavy, only to see him pouring wine one after another, but not saying a word, and Jiang Yue could only watch there.

Before the matter is decided, anyone can be the real murderer, and the black shop seems to be deliberately done by someone in order to frame the Boyue Sect.

All this is getting clearer and clearer, and it is becoming more and more confusing, I wanted to let the adults strictly check the passers-by who have recently entered and exited the city, but this is a bit startling and useless, an ordinary iron rod, it is impossible to find anything, rather than this, it is better to quietly check the blacksmith shop, it is more reliable.

"If the lord is fine, the subordinate will retire." Jiang Yue suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly retreated.

In the past few days, Jiang Yue has been on duty at night, with four or five servants, and has been patrolling since he was a child.

Jiang Yue took the official knife and walked in the front, patrolling from the east of the city to the west of the city, from the north of the city to the south of the city, accompanied by the slightly falling snow and the cold wind blowing from time to time, never stopped a step.

When passing by the now dilapidated Xiao Mansion and the tragic death of the post envoy's house, Jiang Yue finally sorted out all this, and also understood better what Zhixian Gong Siqi was worried about.

Whether the murderer is the Boyue Sect or the wealthy and wealthy gold owner who uses thousands of taels of gold to entertain guests, he can kill people unscrupulously, he is not afraid of being known by others, and he is not afraid of being investigated by the government, there are few people in this world who can do it, and the background or backers of these people may be unimaginable to them.

No matter who is found, it is a hot potato for the county, and many people will be implicated.

If it is really the Boyue Sect, for the emperor, it may be the best explanation, a Jianghu sect, facing the imperial court, will not be able to set off any waves, and for Gong Siqi, there are many disciples of the Boyue Sect, and the final result can only be the same as the Xiao family, attracting hatred from the rivers and lakes, and there will be no chickens and dogs left overnight.

What is the secret of this Pisces jade pendant? Is Xiao Chuyun Xiao Chuyun or not? The incident in the black shop, is it trying to frame the Boyue Sect, or is the Boyue Sect clearing its suspicions?

"What exactly is the connection between them?" Jiang Yue muttered in a low voice as he walked.

When passing by the medical hall of the Divine Doctor, Jiang Yue suddenly stopped, took out the blue handkerchief that had been soaked in blood from his waist, and his heart was suddenly full of thoughts.

Jiang Yue looked at the vermilion gate, and couldn't help but read in his heart: "The Xiao Chuyun I found back, is it really Xiao Chuyun?"
