Who is Hua Niu?

That's a long story.

"He's a street thug, he doesn't have a regular business, he makes a living by helping people." Liu Sheng hurriedly explained, and at the same time instructed the people around him, "Prepare the car for the young lady and send her back." ”

"I'm going with you, too." Zhao Liusi, who had solved the case once, heard that there was a homicide, and he was immediately excited, and shouted that he was going to follow.

"Nonsense! That's the kind of place where girls can go. Liu Sheng reprimanded, and was about to let Zhao Liusi pull Zhao Liusi away, but Zhao Liusi pulled his sleeve.

"This news is strange, so decent, such a person who is not important to others, but is extremely important to you, has died, do you know if it is not a sound attack?" Zhao Liusi said with a smile, "There are not many people you brought, and now you have to divide the troops into two places, if someone ambushes me on the road, they will either kidnap me or kill me, what do you say?" ”

If it were someone else, she would definitely think that Zhao Liusi's words were nonsense, she was a little girl who didn't look at her, who would touch her. But Liu Sheng has a bit of paranoia about being killed, he lost Zhao Liuyi in the early years, and now he is guarding Zhao Liusi's baby bump, and when he looks at it, he feels that everyone wants to rob her, so he takes it seriously.

"You have a point." Liu Sheng thought for a moment, and then instructed his subordinates, "What about the hat, bring the hat." ”

As soon as Liu Sheng's words fell, the people around him moved, and soon, someone took out a wide-brimmed round hat from the house, and a veil that reached the ground fell around it.

"It's a coincidence, I was afraid that the nobles would use it, so the steward prepared it early, but I didn't expect it to be really useful." It's still the pimple-ridden guy who came.

"Thank you." Zhao Liusi felt funny when he saw him, and immediately gave him a big smile as a thank you, but he didn't expect Liu Sheng to walk between the two of them quietly, blocking their sight.

"Okay, get out of the car and wear it later, don't let people see your face." Liu Sheng commanded with a straight face.

"Yes." Zhao Liusi rolled the veil that could reach her calf, and got into the car with her hat.

Although the veil of this hat was longer than the others', as long as she was allowed to go out, these were trivial things.

**

From the suburbs to the city, the road is galloping, but fortunately, whether it is for troops or business, this road has been built very well over the years, and when the speed slows down, you will know that you are in the city. When it was bumpy, Zhao Liusi lifted the curtain and looked secretly inside.

The roads in the city are generally better than those outside the city, so this strange bumpy hook aroused her curiosity.

Zhao Liusi looked out from the car, only to see that the surrounding houses were low, dilapidated, the more inside, the road was even more messy, crooked, a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, there was no planning, and the construction was all over the place, and it was obvious that it had arrived in the slum.

No wonder Liu Sheng didn't let her come, Zhao Liusi was a little happy in her heart, like this kind of place, if it weren't for this case, I was afraid that she would not be able to step into it in this life.

**

This block is not big, if the carriage can move forward at full speed, it is estimated that it will be able to walk around in two quarters of an hour, but because there are too many illegal buildings built around, and when it comes to the back, the carriage can no longer move forward, or Liu Sheng helped Zhao Liusi down, and came to Hu Aniu's house with it.

"This place is very pickled, if you don't get used to it, go back to the car, and I'll come to see it." Liu Sheng took two steps and persuaded Zhao Liusi, Zhao Liusi was supported by him, and stubbornly said through the veil, "No, I'm going to take a look." ”

"Well, be careful, don't make a sound, wear a hat, and don't let people see your face." Liu Sheng said two words, and then people knocked on the door of Hu Aniu's house.

The house was very dilapidated, the courtyard walls were low, and one person was so tall that it could barely cover the view. Part of the courtyard wall was damaged, and moss grew again, so you can tell that it has been neglected for a long time. Zhao Liusi took a closer look while waiting for the door, and the moss was very complete, and no one climbed over the wall to enter.

Could it be that the murderer entered directly through the front door? Or is there a back door to this house?

Zhao Liusi thought in his heart, and heard the sound of a flock of chickens in the yard, and a man's impatient cry, "Come on, call the soul." ”

The man scolded and walked out to open the door, and when he saw Liu Sheng at the door, he suddenly closed his voice, revealing a flattering look, "Master Liu, why are you?" What the wind is blowing you in! ”

This man was wearing a soap suit and a red scarf around his waist, because he was extremely thin, and he looked like a monkey when he was nod.

Liu Sheng didn't speak coldly, and the guards beside him stood up one step earlier and spoke to the man, "An Xiaoliu, are you handling a case?" ”

If someone is dead, it is normal for the yamen to come to handle the case. It's just that the yamen has always been extremely inefficient, from the time someone reported the case to the time when someone signed the case and sent someone to investigate the case, it didn't take three hours to come, and this time it was too strange.

Liu Sheng just didn't want to take pictures with the people in the yamen, so he came all the way from the suburbs. His people kept an eye on Hu Aniu, and when they received the news of his death, they should have been much faster than the yamen.

"Hey, bad luck, what a case." Seeing that it was Liu Sheng and the others, An Xiaoliu didn't dare to stop them, turned sideways and let them in, and then complained to the guards dissatisfied, "People are not dead, they are alive and well!" The brothers ran for nothing. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Liusi and Liu Sheng both changed color, and Liu Sheng calmly said An Xiaoliu, "Hu Aniu is still alive?" ”

"Alive."

"Where's the man?"

"Inside."

Liu Sheng didn't care about the on the ground, and strode in, hurrying in as if he could only be sure by seeing it.

"Isn't it good that Hua Niu is alive? If he is alive, who sent the news that he is dead? What is the purpose? Zhao Liusi thought quickly in his heart, and followed Liu Sheng's footsteps into the house.

The room was very dimly lit, and it was dark everywhere, I don't know if it was originally set up like this, or because it was not possible to sell out all the things in the house, and the hall was empty without even a bench, only a shrine blackened by smoke and fire was placed in the center.

"Master Liu?" When the people in the house saw Liu Sheng coming in, they also hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Why are you everywhere!" After Liu Sheng saw that the person who was in the room one step earlier was Yan Ran, he was even more angry, and his tone was much more scathing.

"I was stopped at the gates." Yan Ran smiled bitterly, "After separating from you, I originally planned to go back to the Yamen, but when I walked to the door, I saw the messenger waiting for me, saying that there was a homicide in the slum area west of the city, and asked me to take someone away." ”

"In this way, the county magistrate really relies on you as a scribe."

"Where, a few seniors in the errand room carried love, let me run an errand." Yan Ran smiled, and then looked at Liu Sheng, "It's that Liu Ye is a little strange, I don't know what the important thing is to let you come to such a filthy place?" ”

"You're interrogating me?" Liu Sheng didn't even raise his face, and stood there arrogantly with the expression on his face that you also deserve.

"Where, don't dare, just ask." Yan Ran smiled like a spring breeze, as if she was really a little official who was used to eating the head of the row.

Liu Sheng was not polite, and the guards around him were not much better, and soon someone borrowed a clean chair and moved in, but he didn't let him, and sat in the middle directly.

Zhao Liusi looked at the officials led by Yan Ran standing on the other side, and some of them were about to smoke with shame, so they thought about whether to give up their seats, but they were glared at by Liu Sheng, "Sit, what are you still doing?" ”

Thinking of this man's needle-sized belly, he gave up his seat again, and he thought that he liked Yan Ran. Zhao Liusi could only sit down.

"Since you don't dare, then don't just ask." Liu Sheng took the tea handed over by the guard, took a sip, and commanded like a master, "The person is not dead, and the case is gone, so you can disperse." ”

"Mr. Yan, we," there were some bad-tempered officials next to him, seeing Liu Sheng's attitude, they broke out a little, but Yan Ran still didn't change his demeanor, raised his hand to stop them, and then saluted thoughtfully, and said with a smile, "I haven't finished asking, I can't leave yet." ”

"What?" Liu Sheng gave a rare charity to the main owner locked in the corner.

"It's something that Liu Ye also wants to know." Yan Ran and him looked at Hu Aniu with an interested gaze, "Who sent the news?" Why are these messages being sent? What brought us here? And, what is the value of this man's killing? ”

Liu Sheng drank tea, listened to it with or without a pair, and didn't know if he listened to it.

The air around them became so stagnant that no one dared to open their mouths.

Zhao Liusi knew that Liu Sheng wanted to drive the people in the yamen away and ask questions again, but the actions of the people behind the scenes were really strange, and Yan Ran might also have information that they didn't know, so she could only open her mouth and reply on behalf of Liu Sheng, "He is an employee of our firm, and he just said that he had news to report to his uncle, but he heard that he was dead, and we happened to pass by, so we came to take a look." ”

"What was he responsible for?" Yan Ran nodded and asked along the way.

"I don't know." Zhao Liusi looked at Hu Aniu, "Should you ask me?" Perhaps this is a prank by Hu Niu himself, deliberately drawing us both in, and then telling us that nothing happened. ”

Hu Aniu opened his mouth and was about to speak, but was cut off by Yan Ran, "Impossible!" ”

"Whether it's my anger or the anger of the yamen, he can't afford it." Liu Sheng opened his mouth lightly, but at this time, he had a tacit understanding with Yan Ran.

"Could it be that someone knows what his plan is, deliberately sabotages his plan, and notifies us to stop people?" Zhao Liusi continued to use his brain.

"No, it won't." This time, Yan Ran didn't open his mouth, it was Liu Sheng who replied, "If it's my side, those people know what he wants to do, they will only kill him secretly, and then tell me to always think that he is alive, so as to hang me." So, is it your side that called us here? ”

"I'm just a small official, serving the law and enforcing the law, what's the matter." Yan Ran denied it with a smile, even if he knew that Zhao Liusi knew his secret, he didn't show a trace of his tone.

"I," Hu Niu raised his hand weakly, trying to speak. Liu Sheng nodded and allowed him to open his mouth, and when he was about to open his mouth, he suddenly saw a sharp arrow break through the window and shoot accurately into his throat, and then he rolled his eyes, and immediately grabbed his neck and lay on the ground.
