"That's true, but I always felt that something was wrong." Lu Qingyi looked at Shen Xi in front of him and spoke.

Shen Xi closed his eyes, he didn't know what to say for a while, Shen Xi himself had this hunch, but he couldn't find the evidence he should have.

"Forget it, don't think about it so much, and have a good rest tonight." Shen Xi gritted his teeth and tried his best to forget what had just happened.

Lu Qingyi nodded and didn't say anything more, but he couldn't sleep. The dagger stuck in the bed board had been pulled out by him, and instead of killing him, it threatened them.

So, there might be something else going on tonight.

Time passed minute by minute, and Shen Xi, who was sleeping next to her, was not sleeping peacefully, her brows were tightly wrinkled, and even her breathing was not as peaceful as usual.

However, Lu Qingyi didn't dare to close his eyes, and finally waited until the sky was bright, and there was a crisp birdsong outside, and Shen Xi opened his eyes.

"It's dawn?" There were two obvious dark circles under Shen Xi's eyes.

Lu Qingyi nodded: "Do you want to sleep a little longer?" I guess there shouldn't be an accident now. ”

Shen Xi shook her head, the sleep she slept last night was no different from not sleeping. Besides, because of something on my mind, I can't continue to sleep now.

The two packed up and got up, and Liu Congwen lived in the room in front of them. I guess he didn't have a good time last night.

"Liu Congwen, have you gotten up?" Lu Qingyi gently tapped the door of Liu Congwen's room.

Liu Congwen has always slept quite lightly, and it stands to reason that even if he didn't get up and knocked on the door so loudly, he should have woken up.

But the two of them waited at the door for half a pillar of incense, but there was no movement inside. Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi glanced at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Lu Qingyi hurriedly kicked open the door of Liu Congwen's room with his legs, and when he walked in, there was no one inside. Where else is there Liu Congwen.

"What's going on?" Shen Xi was in the room, looking back and forth, and there were traces of fighting and struggling in the room.

Lu Qingyi walked to the position of the bed in Liu Congwen's room, one side of the bed was covered with white powder, and according to Lu Qingyi's investigation, these things fell from the beam of the bed.

Slowly squatting down, Lu Qingyi pinched a little white powder with his hand and put it under his nose. Shen Xi also came over at this time, looking at the white powder with curiosity on his face.

"You don't want to come here." Lu Qingyi hurriedly stopped Shen Xi's movements.

Shen Xi's steps stopped, and he stood in place with a worried face: "How are you?" ”

Lu Qingyi's eyes blinked quickly, the expression on his face looked very different, and he hurriedly said, "Water, hurry up and give it to me." ”

Shen Xi ran to the table and picked up a glass of water, and Lu Qingyi took the water and splashed it directly on his face. His eyes closed, and when they opened again, he regained clarity. Chase the book

"Is this poison?" Shen Xi hurriedly helped Lu Qingyi to the table and sat down.

Lu Qingyi shook his head gently, his steps looked a little vain: "It's not this, it should be psychedelic medicine." It doesn't cause much harm to the human body, but it can make you lose your mind and perceive the outside world. ”

"This medicine actually has no advantages in ordinary use, and you can see it, it's very obvious." Lu Qingyi continued to explain: "It's just that its medicinal effect is very fast, as long as it is slightly contaminated. will fall into the point of being confused. ”

Shen Xi nodded, Lu Qingyi was only a little contaminated just now, and it quickly became that situation. If he hadn't reacted fast enough, I'm afraid he would have been lying on the ground by now.

"So Liu Congwen should have been confused by this medicine, and then was taken away." Shen Xi frowned lightly and said, "It's just that I can't figure it out, why did they want to arrest Liu Congwen, but let the two of us go." ”

"We don't know who they are at the moment, so it's no basis to speculate on their motives." Lu Qingyi rubbed his chin with his hand: "Let's call County Magistrate Zhang up first." ”

As soon as the two of them finished saying this, there was a sudden noise outside the courtyard. When I walked out, it was County Magistrate Zhang who came over.

The expression on his face didn't look very good, and he walked to the two of them a little dejectedly: "I didn't expect the two of you to get up, what are your plans for today?" ”

Looking at County Magistrate Zhang in front of him with his eyes, Lu Qingyi vaguely felt that something was wrong. He pursed his lips and took a step forward: "Today we want to go and take a look outside the city where the bandits are. ”

"It's dangerous." County Magistrate Zhang suppressed his throat and said.

Shen Xi closed his mouth and didn't speak, and when Lu Qingyi beside him heard this, he just said lightly: "County Magistrate Zhang just needs to take us to the place." ”

"Since you insist on doing so, then I can't help it. Anyway, I'm going to look for my lady today, so I'll go with you. County Magistrate Zhang shook his head helplessly.

Before leaving, County Magistrate Zhang suddenly asked, "Why is Lord Liu gone?" I haven't seen him since this morning. ”

"Oh, Liu Congwen has something to do at home, and I went back to the capital early this morning." Lu Qingyi said softly with a smile on his face.

Lu Qingyi knew in his heart that they didn't directly ask for Liu Congwen's little life, which showed that they still had scruples in their hearts.

I won't ask for Liu Congwen's life here, and after arresting him, I will naturally keep his life. Security is not a cause for concern for the time being. Moreover, in Lu Qingyi's inference, this matter must be related to County Magistrate Zhang, and now he is testing him.

When County Magistrate Zhang heard this, he stopped his steps directly, and there was a little confusion in his eyes: "Lord Lu is sure." It's a bit chaotic on our side these days, and I'm afraid that Lord Liu has been arrested? ”

"Why did County Magistrate Zhang say that?" Lu Qingyi's eyes were full of confusion, and he looked at the county magistrate Zhang in front of him and asked softly.

County Magistrate Zhang shook his head helplessly: "You newcomers don't know the situation on our side, before this, the emperor also sent people over to suppress bandits. However, the official who was sent either suddenly fell seriously ill or disappeared suddenly. ”

"By the time we found them, they all looked out of their minds. It's okay to happen once or twice, but the point is that this happens every time the bandits are suppressed. So...... I guess this time Lord Liu should also be more than lucky. County Magistrate Zhang said.

Lu Qingyi nodded thoughtfully: "There's no problem with you saying this, it's just that I found this in Liu Congwen's room." ”

Lu Qingyi took a letter and put it in front of County Magistrate Zhang: "This is a letter written by Liu Congwen himself. ”
