Chapter 34
On a rainy night, a heavenly fire fell directly on Jingling Village, burning the entire village beyond recognition.
Shen Lingjun called Xu Ming, the third son of the third son, the only witness at the time, and asked him to go through the whole process in detail, without missing a single point.
Xu Ming thought about it very seriously, and then replied cautiously: "It was almost midnight last night, and I just made a few jokes with Chen Agou, and that kid said that he drank too much water and urgently went to the toilet." I was standing against the wall, and when I looked up, a white shadow floated through the roof! Wasn't it startled at the time, but when I came back to my senses and wanted to see it clearly, suddenly a fire fell from the sky. The whole house in front of me was on fire, and I yelled in fright, and then I turned my head to see that the other houses were all on fire. Later, Chen Agou and I went to save people, but so many households couldn't be saved for a while, and fortunately, God had eyes, a rainstorm extinguished the fire, and these people escaped from death, but there were still many injuries. ”
Shen Lingjun listened to Xu Ming's words in one breath before asking, "Do you see what the white shadow looks like clearly?" ”
Xu Ming shook his head: "Just floated over like this, there is no way to see it clearly." ”
Shen Lingjun stared at Xu Ming, Xu Ming was embarrassed to see it, Shen Lingjun was very good-looking, but being stared at by such a beautiful woman, it was uncomfortable to change anyone.
When Xu Ming didn't know where to put his hands and feet, Shen Lingjun spoke: "The fire fell from the sky? ”
"That's right." Xu Ming nodded and said, "I just watched the fire fall from the sky out of thin air." ”
"Anything else?"
Xu Ming thought for a while: "No, after that, Chen Agou and I have been saving people, and we have been busy until now." ”
Shen Lingjun bowed his head slightly and beckoned to Li Yi: "Take him over and let Qingzhi take a look." ”
Xu Ming scratched his head: "My lord, I'm not injured." ”
Li Yi knows Shen Lingjun better, she has her own ideas about doing things, so she kicked Xu Ming's ass: "Let you go." ”
Shen Lingjun walked up to Su Musha: "Mumu, what have you discovered?" ”
Su Musha pointed to the root of a corner of the wall and said, "I poured oil on it beforehand." ”
"No wonder the fire burns so fast." Shen Lingjun said clearly.
Ye Qingzhi was so busy that she couldn't part with it, and Zhao Qi came over and said, "That kid has also been attracted by the immortals." ”
Shen Lingjun wondered: "Also? ”
Zhao Qi sighed and said, "The girl found that everyone in the village was poisoned. ”
That's it, the so-called heavenly fire is nothing more than an illusion.
Shen Ling was puzzled: "What is the purpose of the person who set the fire?" ”
"For whatever reason, it's too vicious." Su Mu said.
"Oh, yes." Zhao Qi said: "When those villagers were talking about fire, they all heard a strange laugh, sharp and thin, very harsh, like a woman's chuckle. ”
Su Musha and Shen Ling both said in unison: "Xie Tao? ”
Shen Lingjun suspected that this was also Xie Tao, or Xie Jin, who did it for revenge. If he was now attached to the Ice Heart Pavilion's Soul Keeper, it would not be difficult to do all this.
"Sister......" A slightly childish voice came from behind.
Shen Lingjun turned around, it was Ah Hong's family: "Are you all right?" ”
Ah Hong gently stroked the top of Huan'er's hair, and her face was a little sad: "We're fine, it's just that my mother-in-law is old and frightened, I'm afraid it won't work, and the home is gone......"
Shen Lingjun comforted: "If you are still alive, there is always hope." ”
Ah Hong sniffed: "Well, thank you, my lord, let's go over and help first." ”
Shen Lingjun looked at the back of the family leaving, and sighed: "This family is really full of disasters. ”
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and the man on the horse was in a hurry, and before the horse stopped, the man jumped down.
"Shenhe?" Shen Lingjun frowned, Shen He came here to find her, there must be something urgent.
"Your Excellency!" Shen He ran over in two steps and one step, and was stunned for a moment when he saw Shen Lingjun's face: "Why did the adults ......?"
"Mosquito bites." Shen Lingjun said impatiently: "Let's talk about the point." ”
"Early this morning, someone reported to the official that the murder was reported, and we rushed over to take a look, and the deceased was Xie Xiuyuan."
Shen Lingjun stretched out his hand and put it in his mouth to whistle, and when he heard the whistle, he hurriedly ran over, and Shen Lingjun jumped up: "Mumu, let's go." He said to Zhao Qi again: "I'm bothering you and Qingzhi here." ”
Zhao Qi nodded: "Don't worry." ”
Su Musha also invited to step on the snow, but the two of them turned their horses' heads at the same time and went in the other direction.
Shen He shouted, "Where are you going, sir?" ”
Shen Lingjun dropped a sentence: "Hexi Village." "The red-clad black horse has disappeared around the corner.
Zhao Qi smiled, these two people really have a heart.
Shen He found out about the situation here and exclaimed, "Why is it burned like this? ”
Zhao Qi said to him: "You go back first and send someone to guard Xie Xiuyuan's body, now the county government estimates that Yu Deshui can't take care of things, pass on my order, transfer more troops here, and resettle the villagers." ”
Zhao Qi was used to giving orders, his tone was never doubtful, and Shen He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it, so he took the order.
Zhao Qi walked next to Ye Qingzhi, and at this moment Ye Qingzhi was bowing her head to bandage the wound of a woman whose legs were crushed.
The woman couldn't help but writhe in pain, and Ye Qingzhi frowned slightly: "Don't move." ”
The weather was hot, Ye Qingzhi was covered with sweat, and she didn't have time to wipe it, her eyes were only focused on the things in her hands.
Zhao Qi actually likes Ye Qingzhi's seriousness, she has a kind of hollow valley orchid temperament, looking cold and indifferent, Zhao Qi knows that Ye Qingzhi should still be an ancient and hot intestine in essence, otherwise she would not choose to be a doctor.
Zhao Qi took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped her sweat, Ye Qingzhi glanced up at him, and then lowered her head and continued the movements in her hands.
"It's too hot, and the wound is easy to get infected if it goes on like this." Ye Qingzhi was busy with her work, and said, "Think about it, it's better to transfer them to somewhere." ”
Zhao Qi thought for a while, and slapped his thigh: "Let's send them all to the county government, and I will arrange for someone to prepare some carriages in the afternoon and send them over in turn." ”
Ye Qingzhi nodded: "Well, it's okay." He asked again, "What about Shen Lingjun and them?" Just now, she seemed to see Shen Lingjun and Su Musha riding away.
Zhao Qi swept the handkerchief in his hand, hesitated to continue wiping it, or took it back: "Just now Shenhe came over and said that Xie Xiuyuan was dead." ”
"Oh, then they should go to Hexi Village." Ye Qingzhi smeared the last layer of ointment on the woman and said clearly.
Zhao Qi was quite surprised: "How do you know?" ”
Ye Qingzhi replied without raising her head: "Jingling Village was burned, Xie Xiuyuan died again, who will be the next turn to guess?" ”
Zhao Qi grinned and said, "Smart." ”
Ye Qingzhi glanced at him: "Wipe the sweat." ”
"Okay." Zhao Qile wiped off the beads of sweat on her forehead.
Shen Lingjun and Su Musha rushed all the way to Hexi Village, and the small courtyard of Xie Li's family was still as quiet as before.
Shen Lingjun jumped off the horse, let Hui Feng graze beside him, and walked towards the gate with the Great Xia Dragon Bird in his hand.
When they got closer, the gate was just empty, Shen Lingjun and Su Musha glanced at each other, pushed open the gate with the back of the knife, and walked in gently, the furnishings in the courtyard were still the same as before.
He hadn't taken two steps when he heard a woman's soft cry from inside the house.
Shen Lingjun and Su Musha hurriedly swept over, Su Musha flicked his sleeves lightly, and the door was opened.
Shen Lingjun looked down and saw that Xie Li was squatting on the ground, holding her husband Ah Yong in her hands, Ah Yong had a knife with a piece of vegetable leaves in his chest, his eyes rolled up, and he was obviously out of breath.
Xie Li's whole person was a little sluggish, and he stretched out his hand in front of him in a daze, and the bright red blood on it stinged his eyes.
She looked up at Shen Lingjun and Su Musha slowly, as if she didn't know what was going on for a while, and said in a somewhat confused tone: "Ah Yong......"
Shen Lingjun stepped forward to check on Xie Li's husband's condition, the knife was still in his own hand, and he died on the spot by stabbing his heart.
Su Musha looked at the simple interior, except for the door that they opened, the window was also wide open, and when he looked down, there were very faint footprints on the windowsill, looking at the size, it should be a woman, or a thin man.
"I'll take a look." After Su Musha finished speaking, he jumped out of the window and chased out.
After a cup of tea, Su Musha jumped in from the window again, and Shen Lingjun looked up at Su Musha, who shook his head at her.
Shen Lingjun frowned, running so fast? She knew that with Su Musha's light skills, there were not many people in the world who surpassed him, even if they were as powerful as him.
At this moment, Xie Li slowly recovered, and was crying and crying, unable to accept the tragic death of her husband for a while.
Shen Lingjun took her outside the house, and waited for her to calm down a little before asking, "Did you see a suspicious figure just now?" ”
Xie Li was still a little confused, sobbing and shaking his head: "I don't know, it was okay just now, Ah Yong helped me to bed and rested for a while, he said to go to the kettle of water again, who knows how to turn his head ......"
Xie Li couldn't say anything, the scene that happened just now made her unbelievable, and she paused for a long time before continuing: "As soon as I turned my head, Ah Yong picked up the knife on the table and stuck it in his body, I ...... Woo woo~ I really don't know why...... How can this be......"
Speaking of the back, Xie Li couldn't support his weak body, and he was a little shaky.
Shen Lingjun asked her to sit down, handed her a handkerchief and wanted her to wipe her tears, seeing that her hands were covered with blood, he sighed, fetched water for her, and asked her to wash her hands first.
Xie Li was also stunned, she did whatever Shen Lingjun asked her to do, until she put her hand into the water, the cold water was dyed red, she remembered her husband's death again, and lowered her head and sobbed.
Shen Lingjun made her cry for a while, and then asked, "Has your husband been mentally normal recently, has he often been in a daze, in a trance, etc.?" ”
Xie Li sniffed, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, shook her head and said, "No, it's the same as usual." ”
Shen Lingjun tapped his fingers on the table, looked at Xie Li's eyes, and asked, "Xie Taoke has come to you recently?" ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Xie Li's eyes: "Ah Tao? What's wrong with Ah Tao......"
Shen Lingjun said again: "Is there a festival between your husband Ah Yong and Xie Tao?" ”
"I didn't ...... No, Ah Yong is kind to anyone, he has never blushed with others, and it is impossible to have a holiday with Ah Tao, adult, why do you ask that, Ah Tao, Ah Tao She ......" Xie Li raised her face with pear blossoms and rain, and looked at Shen Lingjun with blank eyes, panicking like a frightened deer.
