After eating, he cleaned up and left the Bora Inn, walked to the city gate, and was stopped at all.

"Your Excellency has an order, no one is allowed to go out of the city, only allowed to enter, not to go out."

After listening to the words of the officers and soldiers in front of him, Ye Kexuan's face turned cold.

"Why?" She asked.

"The Heart-Digging Demon may be in the city, and you can release it when you catch it." The officers and soldiers said with a straight face.

After hearing this, she turned her head to the beautiful mother-in-law in the carriage and said, "Mother, I can't go." ”

"Then let's go back!" The words came from the carriage.

Hearing this, Ye Kexuan immediately pulled the carriage and turned around and returned to the Bora Inn.

When they entered the door, the shopkeeper saw that they were back again, so he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Why did the two guest officers come back again?" ”

"The adults are locked down to catch the demons in their hearts, and they naturally can't go and come back." The man who came in then said.

She glanced back, and the man smiled at herself, then watched him walk over.

"You're not locals, are they?"

Ye Kexuan looked at him and felt very strange, especially the smell on his body, which was not very good, so he ignored him, turned his head to the shopkeeper and said, "It's still those two rooms." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately led them up.

The man who accosted him, seeing their backs, sneered, followed, and when he saw them enter the room, he went up and gave the shopkeeper a piece of silver, and pointed to the room next to him: "I live in this room." ”

The shopkeeper took the silver, nodded and said, "Okay, does the guest officer need anything?" ”

"No, you don't." The man said these two words, pushed the door open, and entered the room.

The shopkeeper frowned when he saw him like this, and without thinking much about it, he took the silver and went down.

At night, almost all of them fall asleep.

The man came out of the room, tiptoed to Ouyang Birou's door, put his ear on the door and listened for a while, and after making sure that the person inside was asleep, he took out a long and thin pipe from his arms, poked it into the door and blew it inside.

After a while, he took out his dagger, inserted it into the crack of the door, and slowly opened the deadbolt inside.

Soon, the door bolt was opened, he gently pushed the door open, quickly closed the door when he entered, and turned around to see Ouyang Birou in white clothes in front of him, and he was very frightened.

"You... It's not already..."I should have fainted, why not?" I thought about turning my head and opening the door and running.

Ouyang Birou pulled out the soft sword at his waist, and just as his hand touched the door, the sword rested on his neck.

"A chivalrous woman spares her life." The man raised his hands and begged for mercy.

Ouyang Birou smiled charmingly, without mercy, and wiped his neck with a sword.

She heard movement and knocked on the door.

"Mother, it's okay!" Ouyang Birou in the room looked at the dead man on the ground and replied with a smile: "It's okay, you go to sleep!" ”

When she heard this, she was puzzled for a moment, thinking that the beautiful mother-in-law was strong in martial arts and should be fine, so she turned around and went back to her room.

After she left, Ouyang Birou took out a bottle of corpse powder, poured it on the corpse, and soon there were no blood stains, looked at the clean room, turned her head and went back to bed, and continued to sleep.

Early the next morning, Ye Kexuan got up, but the beautiful mother-in-law hadn't gotten up yet, so she went downstairs, ate a little something, and went out of the inn, but when she left, she had an explanation with the shopkeeper.

She was going to Yamen, and she couldn't wait here.

I found some people to ask for directions, and after a while, I arrived at the gate of the yamen, and walked up the steps and walked inside.

"Stop." When I got to the door, I was stopped.

"I want to see you." looked at the person who stopped him with an expressionless face.

"Adults, can you see them if you want to? Get acquainted, adults have been in a bad mood lately, don't ask for trouble. "The matter of digging the heart demon has made people panic, and the heart digging demon has not been caught yet, and if it continues like this, it is estimated that the adult's black yarn hat will not be guaranteed.

"Just tell you adults, yesterday the Bora Inn was mistaken by him for a heart-digging demon who wanted to see him."

As soon as the gatekeeper heard about the heart-digging demon, his face immediately changed.

"Wait a minute." After that, he went in and reported it.

After a while, the person who went to report came back and came to her.

"Your Excellency, please come in."

When the man had finished speaking, he led her in, and she followed her into the hall.

When she went in, she saw the adult sitting in the right seat, and the man who led her in brought her in and withdrew.

Seeing that she didn't kneel, Lord Yang frowned, lowered his face and said, "Why didn't you kneel when you saw this official?" ”

"I'm just afraid that you can't stand my kneeling." smiled and walked to the side and sat down, then turned his head to look at Lord Yang, "I came today to ask when the city gate will be opened, I still have urgent matters." ”

Lord Yang was still guessing what her identity was, but seeing that she spoke calmly and didn't seem to be lying, he asked, "May I ask who the girl is?" ”

"If you need to ask who I am, you just have to answer my questions."

Lord Yang laughed and said, "If the girl can't come up with something to prove her identity, I'm afraid the official won't be able to believe what the girl said. ”

She understood his caution, smiled at him as well, and took out a sign from his waist to show him: "Can you recognize this waist card?" ”

Lord Yang got up and came over, looked at it carefully, his face changed drastically, and he immediately knelt on the ground: "The lower official visited the princess and asked the princess to atone for her sins." ”

"Get up!" She said lightly.

After Lord Yang got up, he looked at her and thought for a while, this person should be the princess who was canonized the year before last, the wife of General Li, and the righteous daughter of the king of Xiangxi, but the biological mother of this princess died, and the mother of He Lai became puzzled: "Princess, may I ask who the one in the inn is..."

"That's the godmother that Bengong recognizes outside, what's the matter?" She stared at Lord Yang.

Lord Yang realized that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately lowered his head: "I also asked the princess to move into the mansion to live, the inn is crowded." ”

"No need, you just need to order the palace to leave here, the palace still has urgent matters." She didn't want to stay in this place.

Lord Yang looked embarrassed and said: "Princess, it's not that the lower officials don't open, but the city lord doesn't let it, saying that he won't open the city gate if he doesn't catch the heart-digging demon, princess, you have been here for a day, and I have heard some of them, everyone said that this is a monster, six have died this month, and if you don't catch it, I don't know how many people have died, the princess is mainly leaving at this time, if something happens, the lower official will not escape, and please move the princess into the lower official's house, let the lower official ensure the safety of the princess." ”

She had heard some about the heart-digging demon, but as for who it was or a monster, she didn't know, and seeing that Lord Yang was worried about her safety, she rejected him with a smile.

"No, this palace can protect itself."

Seeing that the princess refused, Lord Yang said: "Then the lower official sent someone to the Baolai Inn to protect and ensure the safety of the princess." ”

As soon as he did this, then she didn't become a living target, and immediately lowered her face: "This palace doesn't need it, don't you understand?" ”

Seeing that the princess was angry, Lord Yang stopped talking, but felt that it was necessary to talk to the city lord about this matter.

"Okay, since that's the case, then take this palace to see, and this palace doesn't want others to know the identity of this palace, if there are people other than adults who know, then this palace will definitely not be polite." As he spoke, he picked up the quilt on the small table next to him and broke it when he pinched it.

Lord Yang watched the princess crush the quilt with one hand, sweating profusely, and nodded again and again to promise: "The lower official will definitely not say it, he will definitely not say it, if he does, the princess will dispose of it casually." ”

The idea just now was immediately dispelled, and it was still important to live a small life.

"Princess, please come with the officials."

Following him, going to the morgue, standing at the door, Lord Yang turned to her behind him and said, "Male... Childe, this is it. ”

When Lord Yang was about to say the word princess, she glared, and Lord Yang immediately changed her words and became 'Childe'.

Lord Yang pushed open the door and covered his nose: "Childe, please." ”

It is very strange to see that the adults are respectful to this skinny son, but the adults are respectful people, and they can't afford to offend.

Ye Kexuan walked over, glanced at the six corpses here, his face sank, and said, "Which one died yesterday?" ”

"Childe, this is it." Lord Yang led her over and pointed to the corpse covered with a white cloth.

She reached out to uncover it, and Lord Yang beside her took two steps back, feeling very scary, she glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, and then stared at the part that had lost her heart.

Apparently stabbed it with a sharp claw, and then grabbed the heart out, looking at the wound, she smiled, no wonder there were rumors that it was a monster, reached out and pressed the wound, looked at it, and then got up to ask the servant.

"Is there anything suspicious about the deceased?"

"Nope."

"And what do these dead have in common?"

When Lord Yang saw her asking this, he said: "These people loved to gamble before they were born, and they were addicted to gambling like their lives. ”

"Isn't that a damned man?" That's interesting, she smiled.

Lord Yang and the servant both smiled awkwardly.

"It stands to reason that he is indeed a person who deserves to die, but if this murderer is not caught for a day, the people will not be able to feel at ease, and the lower officials will not be able to sleep every night." He feared that one day he would be like these dead people.

"Then I don't know if you sent someone to keep an eye on some people who love to gamble?"

When she said this, Lord Yang was stunned, and immediately knew what to do, turned around and went outside to order: "Come on, find out all the people in the city who have a lot of gambling money, and then send someone to keep an eye on me." ”

Seeing him like this, he knew that he didn't have it, and he couldn't help but shake his head, indicating that he was really stupid, and walked to the door and said, "The rest of the matter is your business, my lord." ”

After saying that, he walked past him, intending to leave here.

When Lord Yang saw that she was leaving, he immediately followed and said, "Childe might as well stay for lunch, and the next official will let someone take Childe's mother over." ”

Hearing this, she stopped, looked at him, and said with a smile: "The adult's son seems to have bad intentions towards my mother, but I am afraid that I will not be able to eat this meal by then." ”

Lord Yang looked embarrassed, and the smile on his face froze: "The lower official has already taught He'er a lesson, and I ask Gongzi to forgive me." ”

Without saying a word, she walked towards the door.
