Miss Liu's carriage went all the way south, all the way safe, and when she reached the territory of Xuzhou, which was still ten miles away from Xuzhou City, it was dark.

Yun Xiu saw an inn on the riverside road, so he said to Miss Liu, "Let's rest at this inn tonight and set off tomorrow." ”

Miss Liu nodded lightly.

Chunlin raised the curtain and let Miss Liu get out of the carriage.

Miss Liu stood and looked at the name of the inn - Rifle Inn.

Miss Liu smiled, "The name of the inn is good. She said, stepping through the door.

Yun Xiu walked into the door of the inn one step ahead of her.

After walking in, I found that there were a lot of people dining in the inn lobby at this time.

Yun Xiu habitually looked at the living, and saw that there were a total of eight tables in the inn, and at the table at the entrance sat a young man and a woman, dressed as ordinary civilians; At the table in front of him was a big man, with a full beard and a knife on the table, probably a knight; Further ahead was a handsome young man dressed in white, drinking coldly alone.

Yun Xiu's eyes looked to the left again, and saw that the first table at the door was a young woman dressed in red, shopping and eating, as if she hadn't heard anything for a few days.

Further ahead were four people dressed in official uniforms, and the four of them were clinking glasses and drinking. There was no one at the other table.

The shopkeeper greeted him at this time and sat down with Yun Xiu and Miss Liu.

Miss Liu, Yun Xiu, Chun Lin, and the chauffeur in the mansion sat in one, and the other four guards sat in one.

After Yun Xiu ordered a few dishes, he casually asked the store guy for a few rooms.

Miss Liu didn't make a sound during the meal, just lowered her head and ate slowly.

The four soldiers at the table behind Miss Liu were talking about something at this time.

One said, "Our Lord Chen, the governor of Xuzhou, is so blessed, a few years ago he was just a small army leader and led the banner, just because he followed the army of Ling Yunyi, the governor of Liangguang that year, and made great contributions when he killed Yao Village, Luoding Mountain, and killed the leader who led Yao Village at that time, he was promoted by Governor Ling, and he has today's official title." ”

One hurriedly responded, "yes, good luck." ”

The other said, "I heard that the leader Yaomin seems to be called Luo Yan, at that time, that person's head was cut off by Chen Zhijing. ”

When Miss Liu suddenly heard this, her hand holding the chopsticks trembled and she couldn't hold it, but she was busy calming herself.

"What's wrong?" Yun Xiu asked with a suspicious look on his face.

It's not that he didn't hear what the four people said just now, it's just that he didn't care about him, he didn't pay attention to listening.

Miss Liu smiled and said, "It's okay, my hand slipped." ”

Yun Xiu smiled and said, "Maybe I'm tired all the way, let's go upstairs and rest early after eating." ”

Miss Liu pursed her lips and nodded with a smile.

The night is dark and the stars are bright.

Miss Liu sat in the upper room of the inn, her face dull and without a trace of expression, thinking about the words of the four soldiers.

Chunlin brought the basin and put it on the washstand, and after looking at Miss Liu's somewhat distracted complexion, she said, "Miss, do you want to wash?" ”

Only then did Miss Liu come back to her senses and walk to the washer, and washed her face with hot water, only then did she feel that the faint anger in her heart had calmed down a little after the water had washed her face.

Just as Miss Liu was about to go to bed, suddenly there was a quarrel in the lobby of the inn.

Miss Liu felt a little puzzled, opened the door, walked out with Chunlin, and stood at the railing of the upstairs road to look down into the lobby.

Yun Xiu was also walked out of a nearby room by this noise.

The opposite room also walked out one after another, and the guests all leaned on the railing and looked down.

"What a noise!" The bearded man who was sitting at the second table on the right hand side of the meal was shouting to the bottom at this time.

Miss Liu saw that at the counter downstairs, it was a woman in Tsing Yi who was angry with the shopkeeper.

From the conversation I just heard, it was that there was no room in the inn, and the woman had to take one out of the house. The shopkeeper asked her to go to another house, and the woman said that she would not go anywhere in the middle of the night.

At this time, the tenant opposite Miss Liu, the woman in red during the meal, said downstairs, "Let her share a room with me." ”

The woman in green clothes downstairs held her head high and hurriedly thanked the woman in red.

But it was just a guest, and the matter was settled, and the guests walked into their rooms again. The shopkeeper downstairs also breathed a sigh of relief, as if the character of the woman in Tsing Yi just now was very barbaric and unreasonable.

But after the woman in red made such a decision, the woman in green knew how to thank her very well.

Miss Liu chuckled and prepared to go back to her room.

When she looked back, seeing Yun Xiu staring at her like this, Miss Liu didn't have any unusual look just glanced at him and walked back to the room.

Chunlin said to Yun Xiu with a smile, "Young Master Yun should rest early." ”

Ordinary nights are extraordinary, and ordinary inns are no longer ordinary.

At dawn, the shopkeeper was the first to get up and open the door, only to find that the woman in red had died inexplicably in the corner of the stairs upstairs last night.

For a moment, he screamed in fright.

All the guests in the inn were woken up by the early morning shouts. Yun Xiu came out of the room and saw that the guests in the inn were all walking downstairs.

He glanced at Miss Liu's door, and saw that the door was closed, and Miss Liu didn't come out, could she still be sleeping?

Yun Xiu didn't care what happened downstairs, and was about to knock on Miss Liu's door, when the door suddenly opened, and it was Chunlin who walked out.

"Where's Miss?" Yun Xiu saw that Miss Liu didn't come out, so he hurriedly asked.

Chunlin replied, "Miss hasn't woken up yet?" ”

Still sleeping? I didn't wake up so loudly, I could really sleep.

Yun Xiu walked in directly to take a look. Chunlin wanted to stop it, but Yunxiu had already walked in, so Chunlin had to follow in.

Yun Xiu walked to the bedside, and sure enough, Miss Liu was still sleeping deeply. It's just that I didn't wake up with such a big movement, could it be that I was sick?

Yun Xiu hurriedly touched Miss Liu's forehead, there was no fever.

Yun Xiu stared at Miss Liu quietly for a moment before saying to Chunlin, "You are watching Miss here, I'll go down and take a look." ”

Chunlin nodded in response.

When Yun Xiu walked downstairs, the four guards from the house had already come down, and one of them said to Yun Xiu, "It's dead, maybe it's been two hours since I died, and my body is cold." ”

The onlookers were talking softly, and Yun Xiu heard the two young men and women, the woman saying, "Go and report to the official." ”

The shopkeeper of the inn reacted at this time, and hurriedly asked the shopkeeper to go to Xuzhou City to report to the official, and let the people from the yamen come to check.

Yun Xiu approached the corpse and saw that the woman in red's eyes were so wide, and she didn't bat at death, this kind of death, Yun Xiu immediately thought of fright.

The woman was scared to death.

Someone was already flustered, frightened, and talking about leaving the inn.

At this time, Yun Xiu looked at everyone standing in the lobby of the inn, and said with a straight face, "No one can leave, and the dead must wait for the people from the official yamen to come, and after checking, they can only leave after there is no suspicion." ”

The bearded man sneered at Yun Xiu, "My master has something, what if you want to leave first!" Besides, the person was not killed by the master. ”

As he spoke, the man wanted to leave.

Yun Xiu coldly stretched out his hand to stop the man.

"You! Have a finger in the pie. The big man snorted angrily.

"If you don't want to get into trouble, just wait for the official to come and leave." Yun Xiu raised his eyebrows and stared at the man, his expression was not a joke.

Dahan hesitated, perhaps thinking that Yun Xiu's words were reasonable, so he didn't make any more noise, and sat quietly on the side of the stool.

Yun Xiu glanced and saw that when he entered the inn yesterday, he saw a man in white drinking alone at the table, and at this time the man was still sitting alone on the side, fiddling with the folding fan in his hand.

It was as if someone had nothing to do with him, and he only came down because everyone had come down.

He saw the man and the woman again, looking at the two people who were like brother and sister, and like husband and wife, and the two of them looked a little panicked and a little scared. However, the two of them were standing in front of the corpse of the woman in red, still watching suspiciously.

Then there was the woman in Tsing Yi who suddenly came to stay in the hotel last night, and at this time, this girl didn't dare to look at the woman in red, her body trembled, she looked very scared, and she was quiet.

However, there is another person, who Yun Xiu did not see during the meal last night, who is wearing a black shirt at this time, and looks similar to the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion, which house should be the guardian of the house.

After looking at everyone in the lobby, Yun Xiu squatted in front of the body of the woman in red again, looked carefully at the death, and looked at the woman's body, and saw that there were no wounds.

So is it really scared to death?

Yun Xiu touched his chin lightly, thinking, this woman must have seen something last night to scare her to death.

But what is there in this inn that scares people to death?
