* Yan's heart tightened, and he asked, "Where did they go to arrest the murderer?" ”

The 'squire' guard hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand, "Please forgive Mrs. Xianliang, this is official business, and subordinates don't dare to 'mess' about it." ”

When Ran Yan heard this, he knew that it was useless to 'force' to ask, so he immediately got on his horse and took the guards to the place where there were many restaurants in the south.

After the scorching sun at noon, the banks of the Qujiang River are like steamers, and the heat is 'mixed' with a strong smell of plants and trees, which makes people breathless. Ran Yan's head was dizzy for a while.

The sun is gradually setting in the west, and all the 'guards' look at Ran Yan with great reverence, such weather, outside for half an hour, it is as if they have just been brought out of the water, even they are about to be unable to support it, but Ran Yan has survived until now.

Ran Yan saw that everyone was already exhausted, so he let them drink salted water in a small wine shop and rest for a cup of tea.

Seeing the curtain 'color' coming, the team was reminding, "Madam, the curtain 'color' has arrived, and if you don't go back, the 'door' will be closed." ”

Ran Yan frowned, they searched for more than two hours, but they only found out about their whereabouts once from passers-by, and it was still on the other side of the forest. She pondered for a moment and asked, "Is the person from the old mansion here?" ”

"I came, for fear of alarming the government, so I came in batches. There were two hundred and forty people in three groups, and the first batch of 100 people was about half a quarter away. The team replied.

"Looking, you must find Master Hou and make sure that he is safe and sound before leaving." Ran Yan said undoubtedly.

Xiao Song's observation is very keen, whether it is to people or things, so it is not easy to attack him. But he had a total of forty guards, and he allocated thirty to Ran Yan, and there were only ten people around him, if Sun Zhen really had murderous intentions, he should have a chance to succeed.

Ran Yan believes that Xiao Song will not be constrained so easily, but if the people around him are weak in strength, they are waiting for someone to help, and she misses the opportunity, then she will never forgive herself for the rest of her life!

The team replied, "Yes!" "Wait for the people from the old house to come and go into the forest to look for it." Ran Yan got off the horse, found a teahouse, and found some cold water to relieve his heat stroke symptoms.

After sitting for a while, the guards of the old mansion arrived, and Ran Yan ordered twenty people to investigate in various restaurants, and once the situation was discovered, if it was not a critical moment, do not act rashly, and immediately send someone to inform them.

Nearly 100 people brought torches into the forest, and the sky was still a little bright, and at this time, everyone first found traces on the ground. The vegetation is verdant, and if there are many people passing through it, it is impossible not to leave a trace.

From the beginning of the attack, the team has paid attention to Ran Yan, and her calmness and endurance even make him sigh, so when Ran Yan decided to follow to find someone, he didn't stop him.

Ran Yan suppressed the irritability in her heart, most of the time she relied on Xiao Song, but she herself was not a person who could not move an inch without support.

"Madame! Found the trail! "Guard.

Ran Yan said, "Send a few to explore the road in front first, and we will follow." ”

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the forest was growing luxuriantly, and the fragments of moonlight leaking in did not play a role in illuminating it at all. Those in front lit torches.

The insects in the grass were densely wrapped and fell like rain, and everyone tried to slow down their movements as much as possible. Fortunately, Qujiang is a place that is enclosed in Chang'an City for people to play, and there have never been fierce beasts, so there is no need to worry about the attack of fierce beasts.

After walking in silence for about two moments, the person in front of him suddenly turned back and replied in a low voice, "Madam, the team is positive, there are buildings in front, and there are several restaurants." However, the footsteps are very 'chaotic', and there are footprints on the back 'door' of almost every restaurant. ”

The people of the Tang Dynasty loved wine, so Qujiang, a place for recreation and fun, was surrounded by many restaurants, and the dense places were even more close to each other, but there would not be no business to do.

"I'll take a look." Ran Yan drove his horse forward, and the team waved his hand to order twenty or thirty people to follow.

When he was approaching, Ran Yan dismounted and approached on foot, Bi Gui's horse is not a person, what if it is not timely to make a noise* and be shipped.

In front of more than ten zhang of the place, there are three restaurants, each of which is separated by more than ten zhang, the noise of silk and bamboo standing here is also heard clearly, and the ground is really as the guard said, the footsteps are very chaotic, the back of each restaurant 'door', there are footsteps through.

Ran Yan squatted on the ground and carefully observed the footprints on the ground in the moonlight. In fact, there are subtle differences, overlapping footprints, Ran Yan can clearly distinguish which one to step on first, which one is the last to step on, according to this, you can judge which wine shop they enter last.

After inspecting a few feet forward, and then observing the atmosphere of the three restaurants, Ran Yan concluded that the people from Zisi finally entered the one on the far right.

"Summoner, let people go and bring the rest of the old house people who have arrived." Ran Yan commanded, paused and turned to the team, "Find me men's clothes." ”

"Good!" The team is responding.

This is in the woods, where to find men's clothing? The team had no choice but to go to the group and grab one of the weakest-looking people and make him take off his coat.

"Madam, the conditions are limited, I can only find the clothes I have worn" The team was touching the clothes with both hands, thinking that Ran Yan would dislike it, but before he finished speaking, Ran Yan grabbed the clothes,

Duck into the back of a tree where two people are hugging.

A moment later, Ran Yan walked out dressed in black. The bun is also spread out, and the hair is tied into a bun at the top of the head. Ran Yan usually trims her hair, and she doesn't keep them as long as ordinary Tang Dynasty 'women', so she can easily make a simple bun.

Ran Yan groaned and said, "First find two or three people to go around to the main 'gate', and go to see the situation of the restaurant as a drinker." ”

The team was taking a look, and among the people who came from the ancestral house, the clothes didn't look eye-catching, so they pointed to two to investigate.

Ran Yan stood at the mouth of the forest, the night breeze brought a little coolness, and the irritability and tension in his heart gradually calmed down. Every time, when she really had to face it, she was never afraid, nor did she flinch. Just like dissecting Qin Yunlin's corpse with her own hands, her hand holding the knife was as steady as usual, and there was no difference. But in the days that followed, she never came out of the nightmare again.

Ran Yan stared at the light in the restaurant, and his right hand was slightly clenched. I just shook his hand this afternoon... Now that this has happened, I hope everything is well.

After two cups of tea, the voice of the guard faintly came from the attic of the restaurant, "Team up, there is no one alive in the restaurant." ”

None of them are alive or all dead?

Ran Yan's heart jumped wildly twice, and the calm she was trying to maintain collapsed in an instant, and she didn't care about anything at the moment, so she rushed out.

The team immediately let people run out, and when they reached the back 'door', one of the guards kicked the 'leg' and kicked the back 'door', he used too much force, but the back 'door' was not bolted at all, and the whole person was planted in.

Twenty guards opened the way in front, and Ran Yan hurriedly walked in, there were a few pools of blood in the courtyard, but there were no corpses.

Ran Yan checked the rest of the entire restaurant, but found no body, so he went up the stairs to the attic.

After only a few steps, she slowed down.

Wrong! After the two guards shouted, why didn't they move again? Ran Yan quietly stepped back, and raised his hand to signal the guards to step back as well.

Everyone didn't know the fate, but when they saw her solemn look, they also retreated with bated breath.

When they reached the courtyard, the attic window suddenly opened, and boom! dropped a heavy object.

Everyone looked at it intently and couldn't help but be shocked! The corpse turned out to be the guard who had just come in to investigate!

"Madame Xianliang, you are really astonishing." A voice came from upstairs, and it seemed that it had been deliberately changed, and the original sound quality could not be heard.

...
