Bai Luo looked at the sky outside the window, and after this questioning, it was just past noon.

"Jiang Xin, do you know where the old man is now?" Bai Luo thought for a while and asked.

"After the death of my nephew, I was ostracized by everyone and had nowhere to go, so I now live in Yizhuang in the suburbs." Jiang Xin replied.

"Jiang Xin, let He San and He Si escort the old woman of the Zhang family home together, and protect the murder scene by the way. You and Wang Hai will take me to find the old man. ”

"My lord......" Jiang Xin wanted to speak and stopped.

“？” Bai Luo glanced at Jiang Xin suspiciously.

"My lord, haven't you seen the families of both sides?" Jiang Xin still said the doubts in his heart.

According to the usual routine of the county magistrate, after temporarily withdrawing from the court, shouldn't he meet with the families of both parties and start to meet between the plaintiff and the defendant, so that he can collect the silver taels?

In the past, at this time, he should have been on the side to help adults intimidate their families, so as to blackmail the silver two.

Why don't adults play cards according to the routine today?

"See what family members? The case has not yet been figured out, so where can I have time to meet the family, and I will talk about it when the family finds it. Bai Luo looked at Jiang Xin strangely and said straightforwardly.

"Yes, sir. It's the subordinates who are too talkative. Jiang Xin had no choice but to bow down and say respectfully, thinking to himself, could it be that the adults want to change some new tricks when they loot the silver taels?

Jiang Xin was puzzled, and first retreated to inform He San and He Si to escort the old woman of the He family home, and by the way, protect the scene of the murder.

Bai Luo and Chai Hu went to the backyard to change their official robes.

Changing out of the big red official robe, Bai Luo changed into a navy blue muslin straight jacket, simply tied a black brocade belt around his waist, and hung a dark green plain purse and a small seal of Huangshi on the left and right.

Chai Hu tidied up the corners and cuffs of his robe for the young master, and took a step back to take a closer look.

I saw that the young master's face was like a spring flower shining on the moon, and his figure was like a beautiful bamboo.

is such a beautiful and graceful young man, Chai Hu secretly praised it in his heart.

Bai Luo ordered Chai Hu to go first and rented a carriage under the pretext of renting a carriage, and after she met Jiang Xin at the yamen, she got into the carriage rented by Chai Hu together and headed for Yizhuang in the suburbs.

The Yizhuang where the old man is located is on the west side of Anning County, at the foot of a barren mountain, not too far from the county seat, but it is extremely desolate.

Bai Luo and his party set off in the afternoon, and the road to Yizhuang was extremely rugged and difficult, and when Bai Luo's carriage arrived at Yizhuang, the sky had gradually darkened.

The carriage stopped, and Chai Hu and Jiang Xin, who were driving outside the carriage, jumped out of the carriage first, and Chai Hu ran behind the carriage and moved the footstool over.

Jiang Xin was guarding the door of the carriage.

Bai Luo opened the curtain with his hand and bent over.

She nestled in the carriage all the way, until her back hurt, and when she got out of the carriage, she heard the bones on her waist "Gaba" when she moved.

Bai Luo leaned out of the car with his right hand and leaned out of the car, Jiang Xin saw that the county magistrate had been sitting in the car for a long time, and his movements were stiff a lot, so he immediately stepped forward and reached out to support Bai Luo's left elbow.

"Be careful, sir." Jiang Xin said with concern while stretching out his hand to help Bai Luo.

But when his big hand held Bai Luo's elbow, he was stunned for a moment.

The arm he held in his hand was round and slender, delicate and sultry, which made his heart tremble, and he didn't dare to hold it at all.

Jiang Xin carefully held the adult's elbow, and gently helped Bai Luo get out of the car.

Chai Hu, who was watching this scene from the side, had a strange face, and from his point of view, Jiang Xin was really a little weird.

Let people look at it, what they know is that Jiang Xin is helping his adult get off the carriage, but he doesn't know, and he thinks that he is helping his newly married wife.

Bai Luo borrowed his strength and slowly got out of the carriage.

Jiang Xin slowly let go of Bai Luo's wrist with some reluctance, lowered his head, took a step back and stood up, helped Bai Luo's hands behind his back, and quietly twisted his fingers.

The delicate and delicate touch seemed to remain on his fingertips.

Bai Luo stood in place for a while, the soreness on her legs slowly dissipated, and then she raised her long eyelashes, and her dark and clear eyes looked at the building in front of her.

It was a square courtyard with white walls and black tiles, and the place where the carriage stopped was facing a heavy black lacquered wooden door.

On the wooden door hung two white air death lanterns, on which were written two black characters - "Yizhuang".

There was silence all around, not even the sound of insects.

Bai Luo walked towards the gate, and Jiang Xin Chai Hu followed closely behind her.

The surroundings were so silent that the rustle of the group as they walked around could be heard clearly.

The place is so quiet, so quiet that it makes people feel a little palpitating.

Chai Hu trembled his legs and stepped forward to knock on the door.

"Bang bang! Bang Bang Bang! ”

The sound of the door slamming on the door came far away in the silent night, startling a few crows in the trees, and "wah-wah" and flying away.

There was no sound in the door, an eerie silence.

Thinking that this place is a place dedicated to storing the corpses of the dead and the ownerless, and thinking that there are corpses behind this door, Chai Hu's courage is almost frightened.

He turned pale and glanced back at Jiang Xin and Bai Luo.

After all, it was only a thirteen-year-old child, and Chai Hu was already so frightened that his voice trembled: "Big ...... Adults, it's still ...... Still knocking? ”

The thin paper on the door buckle trembled.

Bai Luo turned his head and asked Jiang Xin: "Jiang Xin, are you sure that the old man is in Yizhuang?" ”

"Two days ago, I brought him rice and noodles, but he was too old to carry his back, so I helped him bring it every few days. It shouldn't be absent. Jiang Xin wondered.

"But it's daylight when I'm here, and it's almost night, and this is the first time." He added.

Jiang Xin pulled away the chai hu and stepped forward to push it directly.

Chai Hu was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, grabbed Bai Luo's straight hem, and hid behind Bai Luo, only poking out half of his little face to watch the movement.

Bai Luo was pulled by the guy Chai Hu and stood unsteadily, and almost fell to the ground without a stumble.

The black lacquered wooden door shook twice, squeaked, and slowly opened.

The dark courtyard was displayed in front of the three of them, and all the side rooms inside were closed with their doors closed, and there was no light in the rooms.

This dark courtyard is like a monster with a big mouth, quietly waiting for the three people in front of it, and the silence is extremely terrifying.

Jiang Xin and Bai Luo glanced at each other again.

Under the moonlight, Bai Luo's face also looked a little pale.

Bai Luo nodded at Jiang Xin, plucked up his courage, crossed Jiang Xin with the hem of his clothes, and took the lead in raising his legs and walking inside.

Jiang Xin clenched the waist knife of the servant at his waist and followed closely behind.

Who knew that Bai Luo had just taken two steps, and suddenly someone behind her was trembling and grabbing her hand, touching her fingers was cold and cold, like ice and snow.

"Ahh

Bai Luo, who had long been furious in his heart, but had been holding on, screamed, and the courage just now was so frightened that he flew out of the clouds, turned around and threw himself directly into Jiang Xin's arms.

Jiang Xin raised his eyebrows, threw away the waist knife he was holding tightly, and reflexively hugged Bai Luo and hugged her waist.

The waist in his hand is only a grip, but it is not a skinny hand, but a round and elastic slenderness.

This beautiful feeling made Jiang Xin unaware that he was holding a man for a while, so soft that he was reluctant to let go.

didn't let him taste the warm fragrance of nephrite for long, and then another person pounced on his back, because he was holding Bai Luo in his arms, and the man really had no place to put his hands around his waist, so he had to lie on his back and hug his neck.

"Help, young master! Help, Jiang Ye. Chai Hu closed his eyes in horror, hugged Jiang Xin and shouted nonsense.

Jiang Xin only felt that his throat was strangled tightly, he didn't catch his breath, he almost lost his breath, and his face was suffocated.

Just as the three of them screamed and hugged each other, an old and eerie voice sounded.

"What are you all doing here?"

Then there was a muffled sound of "pop", and a cry of "ouch" from Chai Hu.

Chai Hu covered his ass and fell off Jiang Xin's back.
