Chapter 29: The Death of the Prefectural Decree (2)
Several houses in the backyard of the county government are all rows of six-bay red tile houses, the windows and doors are new, all shrouded in the thick shade of willow leaves, the flowers and trees in the courtyard are sparse, the pavilions are scattered, the rocks are exquisite, the winding paths are secluded, and Bai Hanyan has to sigh that Cheng Xiao's residence is very rich in garden victory.
Duan Changge led Bai Hanyan to the door of one of the rooms, and as soon as he raised his legs, he was about to kick the door open.
Seeing this, Bai Hanyan hurriedly stopped him and whispered, "Don't alarm the yacha." ”
"Do you have a better way?" Duan Changge asked contemptuously.
"Look." Bai Hanyan smiled slyly, took out a silver needle used in an ordinary autopsy from his arms, and inserted it into the door keyhole, as Bai Hanyan twisted dexterously, he heard a soft "click", and the locked door was opened.
"You don't have to use violence for everything." Bai Hanyan put away the silver needle and stared at him from the corner of his eye.
Duan Changge flicked his sleeves disdainfully and said, "I didn't expect Han Tuiguan to be ingenious. ”
The door opened quietly, and the two stepped into the room.
Bai Hanyan raised his eyes and saw that the flower hall of this house had been converted into a study, and an official seal and a stack of official documents on the bookcase were extremely eye-catching, and he couldn't help but look at him in shock, and said, "How do you know that this is Cheng County's bedroom." ”
Duan Changge looked at her, a sarcasm flashed in his eyes, and he sneered: "The willow leaves are flourishing here, and it is the height of summer at this time, and the Zen insects are singing loudly, but there are very few cicadas here, which means that the servants often stick to the pole here." And in the entire county government, I am afraid that only Cheng Xiao has this treatment. ”
Bai Hanyan chuckled: "I didn't expect Master Duan to be so good at reasoning. ”
Duan Changge hummed lightly, and the two began to examine Cheng Xiao's room carefully.
Cheng Xiao died early this morning, the people who came in and out of the scene had already destroyed the scene on this day, Bai Hanyan checked around the room and didn't see anything, a little disappointed: "Except for the doors and windows in good condition, there is nothing else." ”
Duan Changge glanced at her and said disdainfully, "I didn't expect you to see anything." ”
Bai Hanyan ignored his poisonous tongue and rummaged through Cheng Xiao's desk, Duan Changge frowned: "What are you looking for?" ”
Bai Hanyan shook his head: "I hope I can find useful clues." ”
Cheng Xiao's desk except for the official document he approved yesterday, that is, the book, there is nothing, Bai Hanyan picked up a stack of books together, shook them one by one, suddenly, a small word slipped from the book, and the wind that was fanned by the book fell at Duan Changge's feet.
Duan Changge leaned over and picked it up with two fingers, and softly read the small words on the paper: "With Liujia in my belly, every step is like climbing a mountain." Parenting pays a thousand hardships, and the baby is a new love. The child is looking forward to growing up soon, and I hope that the child will climb the sky as an adult. ”
Bai Hanyan was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Could it be that Cheng Xiao's wife is already pregnant." ”
Before the words fell, the two raised their eyes at the same time and shouted in unison: "That pregnant woman..."
"The pregnant woman!"
The two stood opposite each other, both of them saw surprise in each other's eyes, and Bai Hanyan was a little incredulous: "Could it be that the woman who died in Lord Wang's bed could be Cheng Xiao's wife?" ”
Duan Changge pursed his lips and was silent, this was indeed a bit unbelievable.
"You're here, you're finally here......"
Just when the two of them were suspicious, a woman's delicate voice came in from outside the door in vain, Bai Hanyan was startled, and hurriedly said, "It's that fox." ”
"I know, it's there." Duan Changge chuckled lightly, his eyes falling on the window lattice.
Bai Hanyan couldn't help but stiffen all over her body, the fox's methods were indeed terrifying, she slowly turned around, and sure enough, the shadow of a fox was reflected in the window, squatting on the ground, her lips closed one by one:
"Duan Changge, you're finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
I saw it smile sadly, and after a long time, it said, "You have lost weight." ”
These three words are like cotton, so light that they barely have half of their strength, and they are entangled in the heart, soft and thin, and they give birth to a strange feeling of panic and powerlessness.
"Is that all you can do?" Duan Changge snorted coldly, then walked to the window, and stood with his hands in his hands, with a cold expression.
"Duan Changge, Duan Changge, are you coming...... Come on......"
It chuckled, unusually softly, and the sound of the beam gradually faded, but the sound of "you come" still could not be dispersed for a long time.
Suddenly, Duan Changge moved, pulled out his long sword with one hand, trembled, raised a palm to open the door, and was about to jump up, Bai Hanyan hugged him from behind and shouted: "Can't go!" ”
"Get out of the way!"
Duan Changge scolded, with a twist of his wrist, the tip of the sword spit out a glowing cold light, and he actually stabbed at the shoulder that was holding his white cold smoke behind him!
Bai Hanyan closed his eyes, but he didn't let go, the expected pain didn't come, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Duan Chang staring at himself angrily, he pulled her hand away with force, and said angrily: "If you stop me from doing anything, I can kill that beast pretending to be a ghost with one sword." ”
"It's luring you in, it's clearly a ruse, and as soon as you get out, you're immediately caught in its trap." Bai Hanyan still had palpitations when he remembered yesterday's scene, but he didn't expect that even she had fallen for the trick and almost died at his hands, that person was definitely not an ordinary person.
"That's my business, what does it have to do with you!"
Duan Changge's sneer seemed to alarm the yamen's errands, and in a moment, he heard a series of footsteps rushing here.
He snorted coldly, stretched out his arms and plunged up to the ridge, and with the light skill of the gecko parade, he jumped to the eaves without difficulty, and disappeared without a trace between the rise and fall of his toes.
Bai Hanyan shook his head helplessly, sighed heavily, and chased after him. I saw Duan Changge bow his body and fly like a whirlwind, jumping out of Wuxiang County and out of the suburbs.
Bai Hanyan chased after her all the way, even though her light kung fu was passed on by her master, but after all, she had no internal strength, and it was indeed a little difficult to catch up with Duan Changge.
She felt that Duan Changge had something to hide from her, that fox who could speak human language, maybe Duan Changge knew the inside story.
"Duan Changge!"
Bai Hanyan shouted at him behind him, but saw him passing by like the wind, acting in an orderly manner, and then, suddenly, facing the deep high slope, jumped over, as if he wanted to die.
"Duan Changge!"
Bai Hanyan was frightened, and in a hurry, his body jumped suddenly, and he used all his strength to spin in the air for several weeks, and finally hugged Duan Changge's falling body!
But what Bai Hanyan didn't expect was that with her hug, Duan Changge's legs on the dirt slope could not retract, and most of his internal strength was discharged.
The two of them fell straight down the slope, Duan Changge coldly glared at the white cold smoke rushing over his body, and said, "What are you going to do?" ”
Bai Hanyan's bowels were blue at this time, but he couldn't use any strength in him, so he could only let it fall down.
Finally, Duan Changge's martial arts are pure, his body is as light as a swallow, and a "harrier turns over", he is about to turn two feet to the left, holding her on an old tree and falling straight down.
Bai Hanyan closed her eyes tightly, feeling that her body was no longer falling, but when she saw the two of them hanging on the thick trunk of the old tree, her heart finally fell to the ground.
"Han Yan, have you been addicted to hugging me recently?"
Duan Changge glanced at Bai Hanyan with a pair of starry eyes under her, and smiled unruly.
Bai Hanyan was stunned, immediately straightened up from him, and said angrily: "It's not that you don't want to jump down, I'm here to save you!" ”
But when she moved, the branch couldn't withstand such a toss, and with a crisp bang, it broke off at the waist, and the two of them suddenly lost their strength and fell.
Under the high slope is a pool, the water surface is not very big, but it is bottomless, and the turquoise pool water is like a jade liquid.
The two of them entered the water like koi fish, and the water droplets exploded, and the two did not enter the pool, Bai Hanyan was not accustomed to water, and his breath was condensed in his chest, and he soon sank to the bottom of the water, and the water was squeezed on all sides, until the chest cavity seemed to explode......
Duan Changge swam towards her, stretched out his long arm and dragged her into his arms, feeling that she was having difficulty breathing, her face was pale, her eyes were tightly closed, he hugged Bai Hanyan's waist, leaned over, pressed his lips to hers, and crossed a breath of air, and the shadows of the overlapping lips of the two were reflected in the water.
There was another drop of water cracking, the two of them floated up from the pool, lying on the shore of the pool, Duan Changge pushed out the person who kept coughing in his arms, his slender hand covered his narrow eyes, and laughed lowly.
"What are you laughing at!" Bai Hanyan's anger couldn't help but rush up from the dantian.
"This hug is also hugged, kissed and kissed, it seems that you and I can't break my sleeves."
Bai Han smoky scurried up from the water, the moonlight was hazy, the night breeze was slightly cool, and the cold was abnormal, she pointed at Duan Changge's face angrily, and scolded loudly: "Duan Changge, I have endured you for a long time, if it weren't for your self-righteousness, I would have ended up in this field now, all because of you!" ”
After that, he picked up the pool of water and kept splashing it on him, his little face was full of resentment, as if it was not the pool water but the knife that smashed at Duan Changge.
Duan Changge was lying in the water, his crimson robe was like a red lotus, but he was not annoyed when he saw Bai Hanyan's rudeness, but smiled more and more brightly.
Suddenly, a light flashed through Bai Hanyan's brain, she paused suddenly, and said with her eyes in her eyes: "I understand what's going on?" ”
Duan Changge glanced at her sideways, and his eyes as dark as a deep pool met her gaze: "What do you understand?" ”
"I understand what happened to the abnormality on Cheng Xiao's corpse, in fact, he died the first day, but the corpse was placed in warm water, so the corpse stiffened slowly, and the corpse temperature was normal, but the corpse spots were not controlled by the water temperature and spread to the whole body!"
Duan Changge stood up suddenly, his eyes fierce and fierce: "You mean to say that Cheng Xiao and Wang Jin died on the same day!" ”
Bai Hanyan was also shocked by this idea, if they died on the same day, and Cheng Xiao's wife died in Wang Jin's bed again, then ...... Could they just die in one place?
"Impossible." Duan Changge saw through what she was thinking, and sneered: "Don't forget, the prefect's guards all saw Wang Jin and his younger brother returning home, and no one in the prefect's mansion has ever been in and out, it is impossible for them to die elsewhere, and they still remember the official document in Cheng Xiao's study, that is to say, at that time, Cheng Xiao was still correcting the official document, which also shows that he was still alive at that time, and if he was put in the water, his body would be swollen, but Cheng Xiao did not have this symptom." ”
