In the sycamore forest in the west of Guiyang City, the sycamore leaves are blown by the evening breeze, and they are like the whispers of a dying person.

Duan Changge sat on the Shuigutang Bridge Stack, holding a Bai Juan and wiping his slender fingers, the crimson robe was particularly dazzling under the moonlight, he slowly raised his eyes and looked at the person in front of him, his voice was faint with undoubted condensation: "Sure enough, it's you." ”

And the person in front of him smiled calmly, shook his head and said helplessly: "What Lord Duan is saying, Qiao Chu can't understand. ”

"Did you kill Chen Siyu?" Duan Changge threw Bai Juan in his hand and asked in a cold voice.

"It turns out that Master Duan suspects me of being a murderer." Qiao Chu glanced at him meaningfully, and said with a smile on his face: "No wonder Lord Han asked for his life to catch the murderer tonight, Lord Duan is going to come alone, it turns out that ...... It's to kill me. ”

"As I said, I want you to leave this place, but you will not spare your life, and if you commit it in my hands, I will never spare your life."

Duan Changge raised his head slightly, his narrow eyes revealed a fierceness, he raised his hand, the sword at his waist was unsheathed, and he flew into the air with a roar, he jumped up, Ling Bo was already in his hand, his body swirled, the crimson clothes were flying, as if a red plum bloomed in mid-air, his hand was like a touch of moonlight cold light, and his body fell lightly on the bridge stack.

"Qiao Chu, I know that Han Yan only appeared in the Harrier Forest after seeing you in the prison that day, and the three corpses in the pit and her appearance are by no means accidental."

"That's why you killed her then." Qiao Chu still smiled lightly.

Duan Changge narrowed his eyes slightly: "Although I don't know why she went to find you, and I don't want to pursue it, but I can also figure out a little bit of your Qiao Chu's thoughts." ”

"Oh?" Qiao Chu lowered his eyes, and a very faint smile appeared on his lips: "You want to talk about it?" ”

Duan Changge raised his long sword horizontally, and the sword body exuded silver light, which was as cold as his eyes: "Is it nothing more than killing me with her hand, or killing her with my hand?" ”

The smile on Qiao Chu's lips became more and more obvious, but it dispersed before it reached his lips: "Commander Duan is really smart, but it's a pity that you didn't kill her, maybe ...... If you let her go, you are raising tigers. ”

Duan Changge chuckled: "No one knows before the end, but Qiao Chu, I advise you to leave quickly, even if you hold my handle, you can't stop me from killing you." ”

Qiao Chu nodded and echoed his words, flicked his cuffs and turned to leave, Duan Changge snorted coldly, the silver long sword chased after him, and the sycamore forest leaves were like the yin wind of the Nine Secluded Underworld Mansion, blowing down the leaves, making a noise in the yin wind, and it looked like a tree full of butterflies fluttering.

"I didn't kill people."

Qiao Chu turned around and calmly looked at Duan Changge who was rushing over, while the Ling Bo in his hand was stopping on Qiao Chu's chest.

"None of this has anything to do with me." Qiao Chu chuckled: "Duan Changge, you should know my character, and I will never deny what I have done." ”

After that, he turned around and left, and when he walked to the bridge, he suddenly paused, tilted his head slightly and said to Duan Changge: "Don't forget what the commander promised me that day, Duan Changge, you and me...... It's a long time coming. ”

Duan Changge looked at his back, slowly put away the Ling Bo long sword, recalling his last words, a disdainful sneer overflowed the corners of his lips, looking at the dark night, his eyes were full of exploration for a moment.

If the murderer was not Qiao Chu, then who would be hiding in Chen Siyu's hot spring pool tonight?

——

Bai Hanyan sat under a weeping willow, watching the full moon wax and wane, his heart was surging, he had mixed tastes, and sighed lowly, as if he was remorseful and helpless.

The dew of the night fell silently on the tips of her hair, but Bai Hanyan looked at the full moon above the treetops like an idiot, watching it set in the west little by little, and then a touch of orange rose from the east.

Bai Hanyan had to sigh that it was really too cruel, maybe it was arranged by God, and when the haze dissipated, it must be the sunrise in the east, full of burning eyes, and the sky is clear.

She gently looked up at the closed gate of the courtyard in front of her, and suddenly there was a soft sound of a bolt, and then the bamboo door slowly opened, revealing a delicate and handsome face.

Bai Hanyan slowly stood up, brushed off the dew on his body, raised his legs and walked like the woman, and said in a low voice: "Bang'er." ”

Bang'er raised her head when she heard the sound, looked at Bai Hanyan and was slightly stunned, and then pursed her lips and chuckled: "Sister, it's so early." ”

Bai Hanyan looked at her, but she didn't know what to say, Bang'er opened the door and pulled her hand to welcome her in, poured tea for her eagerly, and said with a smile: "Sister, have you eaten the morning meal?" ”

Bai Hanyan didn't answer her, but looked at the medicine jars under the medicine wall, and a trace of peculiar smell mixed with the smell of medicine came to the end of his nose.

She frowned slightly and opened her red lips lightly, and her voice had a slight tremor that could not be controlled: "Bang'er, do you know that Feng Chime and Chen Siyu were killed last night." ”

Bang'er held the teacup for a moment, but instantly smiled, handed the cup to Bai Hanyan, and said in a low voice: "Sister sat at the door all night, drink saliva to warm up." ”

Bai Hanyan turned to look at her clear eyes, blurred by the hot air, couldn't help but get angry, raised his palm and knocked the tea to the ground, and with a bang, the teacup was shattered:

"Bang'er, what did you do behind my back, is it so funny to play with other people's trust and applaud!"

Bang'er's eyes fell on the torn teacup on the ground, and she smiled bitterly: "My sister sat at the door all night, is it just to tell me this?" ”

"Or else?" Bai Hanyan looked at her, her hands clenched, her knuckles were white, and she didn't know whether she was angry or heartbroken.

"As I said, anyone who breaks the law, I will not let it go."

Her body trembled involuntarily, she took a deep breath, stared at Bang'er's lowered eyes and said, "Bang'er, you killed everyone." ”

Bang'er sighed lowly, bent up and picked up the fragments of the teacup little by little, before walking in front of Bai Hanyan and slowly stretching out her hands: "Sister, you can take me." ”

Bai Hanyan stared at her plain white fingers coldly, and asked the question in her heart: "Bang'er, let me ask you, did you put the safflower that the wind chimes drank into the sour tea?" ”

"Yes."

"Why! The child is innocent after all! ”

"Not guilty?" Bang'er chuckled, and suddenly her face became fierce: "If you are not guilty, you don't deserve to die, so what about Brother Luan, he is also innocent, isn't it so unbearable to die!" ”

——

Just after midnight, the morning is still good, the huge Guiyang County Yamen is deserted, a group of errand soldiers who have just changed the morning shift are lazy, some are leaning against the big drum at the door, some are leaning on the doorpost, their bodies are shrunk together, and the upper and lower eyelids are constantly fighting.

Duan Changge stood at the door and glanced at them expressionlessly, he was wearing a scarlet official uniform today, wearing a black gauze hat, a regimental collar shirt, a jade belt around his waist, and a lion painting, with the style of a military general.

Followed by a young general in regular clothes, he was originally a silver helmet deputy general who had been following Duan Changge.

Duan Changge snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and raised his legs and walked into the yamen hall, sat behind the copywriter with the tail of his robe, and slapped the hall in shock, and suddenly everyone raised their eyes in horror, but when they saw that the person sitting in the hall was actually Duan Changge, they were suddenly frightened and refreshed, and they didn't feel sleepy.

Duan Changge ignored the frightened officials kneeling on the ground under the lobby, and shouted, "Wang Jin hasn't returned yet?" ”

Lord Bo hurriedly came, knelt on the ground, and said in fear: "If you return to the commander, Lord Wang has not yet returned." ”

Duan Changge's face was contemptuous: "This Wang Jin, this four-grade prefect is tired of crooked!" ”

Everyone in the hall knelt together again, and they didn't dare to come out.

"In that case, this case will be tried by this official today."

After saying that, he turned his face sideways, his eyes narrowed in an arc, and his silent gaze slowly swept over them: "Give the official a spiritual point to each one, otherwise the official will pick off your skin." Go and carry the bodies of the five murdered people to the lobby! ”

The echo in the hall made Duan Changge's voice very loud, and when he landed, all the officials who were panicked were frightened, and they kowtowed again and again, Duan Changge waved his hand, and they hurriedly climbed to get the shengtang stick and stand on both sides of the hall.

"Mighty~"

The hour had passed, and the messenger carried the bodies of Luan Ming, Chen Tingyu, Cheng'er, and Chen Siyu, who had been killed last night, on top of the main hall, with white cloths on their heads.

The silver-helmeted deputy general standing beside Duan Changge counted the corpses, frowned and asked the little official, "Why are there only four of them, and there is one more?" ”

The little official was hesitant to speak and stopped, Duan Changge swept over with a look, and the little official immediately bowed his head and said: "Mrs. Luan's corpse, the corpse is gone!" ”

"Gone?" The deputy general's voice was sharply high, and his face was surprised: "What do you mean it's gone, what about Han Tuiguan, didn't General Duan go to collect the corpse last night?" ”

"Last night, Xia Guan didn't collect the body for the wind chime." Bai Hanyan was dressed in a green robe, wearing an official hat, embroidering a heron, and appeared at the entrance of the hall with Bang'er, and the messenger immediately stepped forward to detain Bang'er, Bai Hanyan frowned slightly and said: "Why be so rude, she can't run." ”

After that, he raised his legs and walked to the hall, bowed to Duan Changge, and said respectfully: "The lower official participates in the Duan commander." ”

"Get up."

Bai Hanyan stood up and sighed, "The corpse of the wind chime,...... in the back. ”

Duan Changge raised his brows, but saw Li Chengdu holding the corpse of the wind chime, walking over like a walking corpse, and knelt in the hall all of a sudden, bowing his head and refusing to speak.

Duan Changge ignored him, but set his eyes on Bang'er, who was detained by the servants, and said: "In this way, the real murderer is her, she hid in the hot spring pool of Chen Siyu's house last night, so the official's official Luan Ming was killed by her!" ”

Bai Hanyan lifted his robe and knelt on the ground again, and said word by word: "No, Lord Duan, there are three murderers in the death of these five people. ”

"Three?" Duan Changge frowned, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, he looked at the five corpses in the hall again, and said, "Which three people?" ”

Bai Hanyan said in a deep voice: "Then the lower officials will come one by one." ”
