Wang Xi always felt that someone was following him behind him.

He paused and looked back, only the endless white moonlight blurred everything in front of him, and where he was, the surrounding eaves, alleys, and tree shadows were all like hideous and terrible ghosts in the night, and they would pounce on him at any time.

Wang Xi quickened the pace of the return journey, not daring to linger longer, the surrounding silence was terrible, only the wind was loud, and the withered grass rose and fell with the wind, swaying.

Suddenly, a cold wind rushed out of the oblique thorn to blow head-on, Wang Xi was startled, his body was lightly sideways to avoid, after standing still, he looked at the front of the black and shady, and said coldly: "Friends in the shadows, I have followed all the way, and it is time to show my face." ”

As soon as his words fell, only a swish was heard in his ears, and a bright sword went straight towards his front door, and the cold sword aura spread out as if it were nothing, Wang Xi was startled, and immediately retreated again and again, when his right hand was suddenly raised, the tiger head blade under his hand seemed to flash in the whole alley under the moon, and he slashed it, cutting off a chill from it, and with a bang, the long sword that stabbed over broke into two sections and fell to the ground.

Wang Xi stood on the ground, clenched the knife in his hand, and looked around vigilantly, and at this moment, a series of high-fives sounded in the darkness, which was crisp and abrupt, making people's scalp tingle.

"Who!" Wang Xi scolded, followed the sound, but saw that at the mouth of the alley, Cangli dressed in black gradually appeared in the moonlight.

"It's you!" Wang Xi shouted out in shock, followed by a wave of fear, this Cangli dared to blatantly assassinate him, a brocade-clothed guard Qianhu, could it be that Duan Changge was really going to kill him!

"Cangli, do you commander Duan want to make the blatantly brocade guards the enemy?" Wang Xi's palm holding the hilt of the sword was slightly wet, and he clenched it harder and harder.

"Lord Wang is too worried." Cangli spoke slowly, and his silly face also showed a calm look at the moment: "Our Lord Duan is not like you Lord Ji, who always likes to hurt people secretly, and my Lord Duan just wants to invite you to a place." ”

"Where?" Wang Xi looked at him suspiciously.

Cangli smiled, but he sold Guan Zi and said, "Wang Qianhu will know when he goes." ”

_

Bai Hanyan didn't expect Duan Changge to be so resolute, and only at noon today did he say that he would invite Wang Xi to come over and ask her to ask, it was only late at night, and Wang Xi was really in a thousand households! appeared in the hall of the Duan Mansion.

The sixteen vermilion doors of the main hall of the Duan Mansion were wide open, and Cangli moved the tall Taishi chair in the middle of the hall, Duan Changge leaned on it, his body was still a little weak, and he was only wearing a white undershirt, but the momentum of the horse did not recede for half a minute.

Wang Xi was pushed by half a push and half an invitation, when he saw Duan Changge, the majesty of thousands of households on weekdays was also half shorter, he lowered his eyebrows and weighed the pros and cons at the moment, or leaned over to do enough courtesy, and said: "See Commander Duan, I don't know why the adults came here late at night?" ”

Bai Hanyan happened to see this scene when she came, she stood at the open door and hesitated a little, at this moment her identity is not visible, Jin Yiwei is still looking for him everywhere, if he goes in now, will it cause trouble for Duan Changge?

Duan Changge's expression in the hall was calm and cold, his eyebrows were silent, he did not rush to pay attention to Wang Xi, but raised his head slightly, and happened to see Bai Hanyan standing at the door, the faint haze in his eyes melted away, a smile floated, beckoned to Bai Hanyan, and said, "Hanyan, come here." ”

Bai Hanyan was stunned by his call, glanced at Wang Xi in the hall with scruples, pursed his lips, and walked over with his legs raised.

Wang Xi's expression changed, his eyes secretly glanced at Bai Hanyan, his eyes flickered, and he heard Duan Changge's voice explode above his head: "Wang Qianhu, the most stable and joyful in the capital, you Jinyiwei are the top performers, especially the gambling houses in the suburbs of Beijing, but they have opened a street, but they have never heard of the slightest disturbance, which is rare." ”

Wang Xi's face changed suddenly, if Fang was still panicked because he saw Duan Changge, but at this moment it turned into a real panic, sure enough, Duan Changge was ready, waiting to set him up.

Duan Changge took a cup of tea on Bai Hanyan's mobile phone, blew the tea foam, and tasted it slowly, before continuing to say slowly: "What I know is that I think you Jinyiwei are capable, and those who don't know think that you Jinyiwei are inside...... Some people have invested money and started a gambler business. ”

After Bai Hanyan heard his words, she couldn't help but look at Wang Xi's face, and sure enough, he was already shocked at the moment, and she could even feel the violent vibration of his body and the sudden shortness of breathing.

Bai Hanyan hooked his lips, so it was, this Wang Xi actually started this thing at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

Wang Xi clenched his fists, knowing that Duan Changge had arrested him this time, so he made full preparations, although the emperor had already issued a holy decree to Jinyiwei, and he could secretly make a stumbling block for Duan Changge, and he would kill him at the first opportunity, but it was clear that even the emperor was afraid of his heavy troops and prestige in the army, and he didn't dare to tear his face with him openly, not to mention his small Jinyi Wei Qianhu?

Thinking of this, Wang Xi smiled with his face and said, "Lord Duan is really joking, the stability of the capital is not only the credit of our Jinyi Guard, but also the brothers of the patrol battalion, we Jinyi Wei dare not take credit. ”

Wang Xi turned his head to answer, then rolled his eyes and asked in a low voice: "I don't know what Lord Duan invited to come to the mansion today, what is the matter, you might as well say it directly." ”

Duan Changge raised his eyelids and glanced at him, slowly lowered the teacup in his hand, and said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that there is something I want to ask you...... It was the night Guan Sui died of cold. ”

In the last sentence, Duan Changge's voice was suddenly mixed with a touch of danger, which made the voice a little colder, and at this moment, the windows in the hall were also suddenly blown open by the night breeze, and the wind was mixed with a gloomy smell, and suddenly floated in, Wang Xi was dressed in fresh clothes and brocade clothes and was blown away by the wind, and he wanted to fly away, he couldn't help but tremble, hurriedly lowered his head, and said:

"What Lord Duan wants to know, he must know everything."

Duan Changge raised his eyebrows in satisfaction, but said tentatively: "This matter is very important, but you didn't think about it when someone accidentally grabbed the pigtails?" ”

Wang Xi knew that Duan Changge was a pun, the thing he did about opening a gambling house on that street for personal gain was the pigtail that Duan Changge caught, and at this moment he was caught by Duan Changge, but there was no other choice.

"It's the innocent girl Guan Bai, and she also believes in the girl's character, so she is naturally willing to do her best." Wang Xi lowered his eyebrows and smiled, his voice sincere.

"That's fine." Duan Changge seemed to be a little tired, he breathed a sigh of relief, leaned his head slightly on the back of the Taishi's chair, and whispered to Bai Hanyan: "Hanyan, if you want to know anything, just ask him." ”

Bai Hanyan looked at his pale face, his heart ached, he reached out and pulled his underwear together, then looked up at Wang Xi under the hall, lowered his eyes and asked: "Wang Qianhu, Bai Hanyan wants to ask the adults to think about it, did some strange things happen in the edict prison on that extraordinary night?" ”

Wang Xi didn't think about it, and replied directly: "No." ”

Bai Hanyan pulled out a slightly cool smile, and said: "Wang Qianhu, you have to think clearly before answering, that night in the edict prison, after I left, you and Ji Bangyue must have been there all night and never left, right?" ”

Wang Xi was taken aback, knowing the deep meaning of Bai Hanyan's words, he lowered his head and thought about it, and said after he pondered: "Yes, after the girl left, Master Ji interrogated the man in black with me, that person was very hard-mouthed, and we did not ask anything when we were both soft and hard, and then Lord Ji and I waited for the girl to come and receive someone in the forbidden room, although I never left the prison, but I have not seen anyone." ”

"Forbidden room?" Bai Hanyan frowned, he really didn't believe it, and said in a cold voice: "I left the edict prison that night, and came to collect people again in the morning, there was an interval of three hours, so to speak, within these three hours, Lord Ji and Wang Qianhu knew why I came, but in addition to interrogating Yang Zhao, they stayed in the forbidden room, and didn't go to the A-word cell to see how many people from Sui Han?" ”

"Yes, Master Ji and I did not go to the cell A." Wang Xi bowed his head and replied.

Bai Hanyan couldn't help but snort coldly, this Wang Xi was clearly telling lies, she flicked her narrow sleeves, and said, "Then when did you know that they were killed?"

"Just after the girl took the man in black away in the early morning, it was the middle of the day, and the Jinyi guard who was guarding the cell of Azi suddenly came to report that all the felons of the Qiluo tribe had been poisoned in the cell. Moreover, the prison officials later tested that the hour of their death was an hour before, that is, the hour of death. And...... You've only seen all three of them that night, so I'm afraid it's hard to get rid of the girl's suspicion. Wang Xi raised his head and looked at Bai Hanyan with a chuckle, with a little ill-will in his smile.

Bai Hanyan raised his eyebrows suddenly, and asked in a deep voice: "In this way, after I left the edict prison that night, it took two hours for them to be poisoned, why did they survive for another hour, and you Jinyi Wei found out that they were killed, this is unreasonable anyway." ”

Wang Xi pondered for a moment, as if he was thinking about how to say it in order to pick up Jinyiwei's suspicion cleanly, and after a long time, he said: "Lu Qi and Chang Fengxuan are serious offenders, they have both been severely punished, and it is not strange to faint on the hay in prison, and the one called Sui Han, although she has not been subjected to Xing, but she also likes to fall on the hay on weekdays, without saying a word, if it were not for the three of them to maintain this posture for an hour at the same time, I am afraid that it would be difficult for Jinyiwei to find out that they are dead." ”

Bai Hanyan was suddenly startled, and glanced at Duan Changge, both of them saw the surprise in their respective eyes, Bai Hanyan turned his head and asked Wang Xi urgently, "Are you saying that the three of them died at the same time?" ”

Wang Xi nodded and said, "That's what I said, the time of their death was almost at the same time, that is, that Lu Qi seemed to be able to be half an hour earlier, why, didn't the white girl find out this?" ”
