When the three of them returned to the mansion, a servant ran over with a panicked face: "Your Excellency, ......"

Shen Lingjun laughed and said, "You stammered? ”

"No, my lord......" The official turned pale and trembled a little: "Corpse...... The corpse, gone! ”

The three exclaimed, "What? ”

The official said that the corpses were originally put together, and two people took turns guarding them every day, but just now, he found that something was wrong, and when he went in, the corpse inside suddenly disappeared inexplicably, and he was responsible for guarding the person who was already scared and couldn't walk.

Shen Lingjun asked, "All gone?" ”

"Not really." The official said, "I remember...... It seems that there are still two or three left. ”

Shen Lingjun and the three of them hurriedly ran over, Luo Cheng went in to check it, and came out and said, "Yao Qingyu and Fang Xin's are still there, and the others are gone." ”

Shen Lingjun's mind flashed: "Go dig Yao Beiwang's grave!" ”

Two hours later, the man in charge of digging the grave came back and said that Yao Beiwang's grave was empty when it was dug up.

Su Musha looked at Shen Lingjun and said, "It seems that your idea is right." ”

From the beginning to the present, the murderer has been targeting Mi Fang and the other five people, deliberately using hexagrams to foreshadow them, torture their psychology, and then wait for the opportunity to kill them one by one.

But what they couldn't figure out was Yao Qingyu and Fang Xin. If Yao Qingyu is because Yao Beiwang died early, and his father and son paid their debts, then what about Fang Xin?

And, now that the body is gone, what do you want to do?

Early in the morning of the second day, Shen Lingjun and Su Musha decided to go to the seaside fishing village again to make a secret investigation to see if Mi Fang had returned due to the storm.

The surging waves rolled in from the sky, and the silver-white and bright waves pushed and chased, from far and near, the closer and higher, like thousands of troops and horses carrying thunder and roaring loudly, the huge waves crashed on the shore, splashing three or four feet of water.

Shen Lingjun stood in the wind on the highest rock and looked out, his red clothes fluttering, intertwined with his black hair, as hot as fire.

After a long time, Shen Lingjun retracted his gaze and said, "This kind of wind and waves, I'm afraid I won't go to sea until I die." ”

Su Musha stood beside her and said lightly, "But we didn't see the ship returning from Mi Fang." ”

The waves surged, and the splashed water fell on Shen Lingjun's face, feeling a salty smell, she rubbed her nose and said, "Could it be that he has already arrived on that island." ”

The two jumped off the rocks and walked on the sandy beach, one step at a time, and the footprints that fell behind were quickly washed away by the water.

It took a stick of incense to walk from the beach to a nearby small village, and in the outermost house, there was a middle-aged man in his forties squatting on the ground to repair fishing nets.

Shen Lingjun walked over, patted the door, and smiled harmlessly: "Uncle, excuse yourself to drink water." ”

The middle-aged man is honest and honest at first glance, and his skin is as dark and swarthy as other seaside villagers.

When he heard the voice, he looked up at the door, and was instantly stunned, this handsome man and beautiful woman had to be looked at twice wherever he put it, not to mention this kind of remote seaside village.

He put down his things with some hesitation and opened the door for Shen Lingjun and them: "You are ......"

Shen Lingjun said with a smile on his face: "Passing by here, begging for saliva to drink, I don't know if the uncle is convenient?" ”

"Convenient, convenient." The middle-aged man saw that her face was kind and amiable, and although the person next to her looked indifferent, he didn't look like a treacherous person, so he asked the two to sit down, picked up the kettle on the table, poured two glasses of water, and handed them over.

Shen Lingjun picked it up and took a shallow sip, and Ruola said like a homely: "Uncle is repairing fishing nets, depending on the weather, I can't go to sea in the past two days." ”

The middle-aged man sat down to work, and when he heard this, he sighed and said: "Alas, isn't it, people like us who rely on the sea to make a living, are afraid of heavy rains, even if they venture out to sea, they may not be rewarded." ”

"Oh, that's not right." Shen Lingjun rolled his eyes and said, "How did I see someone driving a boat out to sea just now?" ”

The middle-aged man was stunned: "Alone? Then he shook his head: "Impossible, we all go to sea with at least five or six boats, and it is too dangerous for one person to work at sea." ”

Su Musha only held the tea bowl and didn't drink it, and said at this time: "Are there any islands around?" ”

The middle-aged man thought of something, stopped what he was doing, and asked, "Could it be that you are also here to find some Helaire Island?" ”

Shen Lingjun was slightly surprised: "How do you say this, uncle." ”

The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed: "Recently, a lot of people have come to the rivers and lakes for no reason, asking everywhere about Heller's island, I have lived here for half my life, but I have never heard of this island, and I am looking for someone to be a guide to go to sea, just this kind of weather, who dares to go to sea." ”

Shen Lingjun smiled and said, "We heard that there is an island here that is very interesting, so we came to ask." ”

"Where did I hear about it, there is no such thing." The middle-aged man saw that their purpose was different from that of the group of Jianghu people, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "Listen to the uncle's advice, don't look for any islands, this sea area is not stable, just say that the section of the reef in the southeast in front of us is not usually daring to pass through fishing." ”

Shen Lingjun said with a smile: "So that's the case, then we may have deceived that person." ”

said, with some curiosity and innocence: "Where don't you dare to go, there are monsters?" ”

It was rare for Su Musha to see her showing an innocent look, although she knew that it was deliberate, she also felt a little fresh.

The middle-aged man really made Shen Lingjun stunned for a moment, and laughed: "Where are there any monsters in this world, but that sea area is indeed more dangerous, not to mention the undercurrent, shrouded in fog all year round, in the words of our ancestors, it is a place cursed by the sea god, and it is easy not to approach, otherwise you will definitely get lost in it and can't find the direction to go home." ”

When Shen Lingjun and Su Musha heard this, the two glanced at each other, but they had another thought in their hearts, the reason why no one could find the rumored island was related to this sea area?

After a few more casual words, the two said goodbye and went home, the middle-aged man got up to see off the guests, and when he returned to clean up the tea bowls on the table, he suddenly found that there was an extra ingot of silver.

I was stunned for a moment, thinking that it must have been the two people who fell just now, and I took it and was about to chase it out, when I heard a cool voice that seemed to come from a distance: "Tea money." ”

"That's too much...... the middle-aged man ran out the door, but he couldn't see anyone.

Shen Lingjun and Su Musha walked back, and halfway through, the two discussed: "Since Mi Fang went to sea and didn't come back, it means that there is an island, regardless of what Hailaier is, at least the island is real." ”

"However, unless you know the route, I'm afraid you won't be able to get there anyway."

"Yes, otherwise the nearby fishermen would have discovered the island long ago." Shen Lingjun nodded, and said, "You say, could it be related to what the uncle said about the sea area that was cursed by the sea god?" ”

Su Musha lowered his eyes slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Maybe you should ask that person." ”

"Who?"

"Xuanji Tower."

Shen Lingjun smiled: "That's right, didn't Xuanji Lou say that he sold you the news." ”

Su Musha looked at her and said, "Do you remember sketching?" ”

"The First Maiden?" Shen Lingjun narrowed his eyes, meaning something: "It's not easy for such a woman to forget." ”

Su Mu said lightly: "She is the person from Xuanji Tower." ”

"Oh?" Shen Lingjun was quite surprised.

"One of the four hall masters of Xuanji Tower."

Shen Lingjun suddenly realized: "It's not small, no wonder I just reported my name that day, and she knew my identity." ”

"Well, Xuanjilou has a wide range of sources, from princes and nobles to homeless people and peddlers, there are all their people."

Shen Lingjun turned his head and said, "No wonder you were weird that day, and you said you didn't know, people obviously came for you!" ”

Su Musha shook his head: "I didn't know before, but now I know." ”

Shen Lingjun stretched out his hand to put his hand on his shoulder and teased: "Emotional people are waiting for you." ”

The two returned to the house, preparing to pick up the horse and go straight to Danfeng Mansion.

When I went to the horse shed, I met Tang Tang and Shen Changfeng, who were leading the horses inside.

I haven't seen Tang Tang for the past two days, and I was a little surprised at first sight, Shen Lingjun looked at the thick dark circles on her lower eyelids and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Tang Tang looked very sleepy, Shen Changfeng jumped on the back of the horse first, jumped in front of him and sat down, then shrunk into a ball, closed his eyes and began to nap, not as happy as usual, ignoring Shen Lingjun's words.

Shen Changfeng said helplessly: "I haven't slept for two days and two nights, and I have to go to Danfeng Mansion to buy a medicinal herb at this time, saying that there is no one in the first village." ”

Shen Lingjun and Su Musha made it clear, it turned out that Shen Changfeng was playing the role of a wet nurse, and he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for him, but one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer, maybe it was also the fun of the two of them.

"It just so happens that we will also go to Danfeng Mansion, let's go together." Shen Lingjun pulled out the return wind and jumped up.

So, four people and three horsemen set off from the first village, galloped fast, and arrived at the gate of Danfeng Mansion in less than an hour.

After entering the city, it was lunch time, so I first found a restaurant to rest.

It's still a private room on the second floor, and I still ordered a table of dishes.

Tang Tang finally woke up, stretched his waist, pouted, and said, "It's finally here...... It's so uncomfortable, my back hurts. ”

Shen Lingjun was speechless, she also admired Tang Tang, she could sleep as well as a pig on a horse.

Tang Tang seemed to have just discovered Shen Lingjun and Su Musha, and blinked: "Why are you here too?" ”

Shen Changfeng also remembered that Shen Lingjun didn't say what they were doing in Danfeng Mansion, and guessed: "Are you going to the county government?" ”

Shen Lingjun shook his head, and pointed at Su Musha with a bit of ridicule on his face: "Ask him." ”

Su Musha took a sip of the teacup, and said without changing his face: "Investigate the case." ”

At this time, the shopkeeper brought the dish with a tray, a table full of dishes, and it took two or three times to finish, and finally, because of the many dishes ordered, a pot of osmanthus stuffed flowers was also sent, which was said to be a characteristic of the restaurant, and invited them to taste it.

Tang Tang hadn't eaten well in the past two days, and he felt that his hands and feet were weak, so he threw himself on the dinner table.

After she had eaten and drunk enough, she came back to her senses, and the expressions of the two people opposite were a little wrong.

took a sip of soup and pressed it, and said with a smile: "Su Mutou, what case did you go to Danfeng Mansion to investigate, didn't you die in the first village." ”
