Chapter 20: A Battle to the Death

"You're right, this is the prisoner's handiwork." He said lightly, his voice revealing a hint of coolness:

"The poisonous liquid flowing out of the rotting corpse is extremely domineering and can be significantly destructive to the surrounding environment. It stands to reason that the ground around the rotting corpse has left indelible marks because of this, and the thin paper in this cloth should be even more unpreservable, but now, there is no degree of damage. All thanks to this cloth. Although the surface of this cloth is also damaged on a large scale, the inner surface has excellent corrosion resistance, so that the paper can not be damaged so that we can see it. Zuo Sheng paused, looked up and asked:

"Auntie, do you remember the state of this cloth when you saw it?"

“…… I was so frightened by this that day, I was extremely sad in my heart, and the room was dim, so when I took Yun'er off, I didn't notice that there was this cloth on the ground. Later, someone was invited to bury Yun'er, and I was afraid of touching the scene, so I never came to this house again. You didn't realize until today that you said it......" There was a hint of apology in her words,

"If only I had found out earlier."

"No problem." Zuo Sheng comforted, handed over the deed of sale and said:

"Auntie, you put it away. This place is too yin and it is not conducive to your life here. Early tomorrow morning, I will have someone find you a house in the center of the Acropolis, and you will live there in the future. ”

"How can this be done, Judge Zuo? I'm just a poor old man who doesn't know anything, so you don't have to bother with it...... Besides, I live here...... Forty or fifty years, I got used to it, and I am afraid that other places will not be able to integrate in. ”

"Auntie, listen to me, you really can't live here anymore. When you move to the city, I'll settle down and help you find the murderer. There was no doubt in his voice.

"That's right, you just listen to Judge Zuo, don't feel unbearable, in that big compound, there are lonely and widowed old people like you, and they have nothing to do to chat together on weekdays, it's better than you being alone here." Shang Jin persuaded softly. Ye Shi was worried when she heard this: she said why his own government was so poor, and it turned out that all the money was used to resettle the victims' families. The house in the center of the Acropolis is a one-room daughter...... Not to mention a courtyard, he is really generous.

"It's really troublesome for you, Judge Zuo, I'm an old man, and my legs and feet are not good, but if there is anything I can help in the future, please look for me."

"Well, yes, you rest early today and send someone to pick you up tomorrow."

"Alas, thank you, Judge Zuo......"

……

Sitting in the carriage, Ye Shi saw Zuo Sheng twisting his eyebrows and looking at a certain place in the carriage in a daze, pursed his lips, and sighed softly:

"It seems that this murderer is difficult to catch."

"Is there anything special about that piece of cloth besides the material?" Mu Ningjiu asked.

There was silence in the carriage, and when Mu Ningjiu thought that Zuo Sheng would not answer, he suddenly spoke:

"I didn't say it just now, because I didn't want my aunt to be too flustered after hearing it, and she leaked her mouth and caused unnecessary turmoil." He said in a deep voice: "In this cloth, there is another letter sewn together. ”

Shang Jin frowned, and hurriedly said, "What letter?" "No wonder the leftover boy wants to bring the cloth back, he was still strange at the time.

"I don't know." There was a ripple in his voice.

"And how did you know that this letter would cause turmoil?" Ye Shi asked. Before Zuo Sheng could answer, the carriage slowly stopped after a "whoop", and Liu Shiyi's voice came from in front:

"Childe, the yamen has arrived."

Hearing this, Zuo Sheng rushed into the room in three steps and two steps, sat down in front of the table, and pulled out the beautiful-looking envelope. Mu Ningjiu looked at the red round seal on the white envelope, and exhaled in surprise:

"Fire paint?!" Zuo Sheng was stunned, and the knife quickly pried open the restraints. He pulled out the white paper inside, his dark eyes scrolling quickly with the handwriting. Shang Jin and the others turned their backs to the letter paper, not knowing the content, they could only observe his expression carefully, and their hearts were very nervous. Suddenly, he pursed his lips, and his voice revealed a hint of hoarseness:

"I'm going to sleep for a while. Shang Jin, the matter of placing the eldest mother will be handed over to you. His dark eyes revealed fierceness, and he glanced at Shang Jin and left.

Ye Shi was anxious, picked up the paper spread on the table, and read it out loud:

"Judge Zuo, do you like the meeting gift I prepared for you? Don't worry, the game has just begun......"

The three of them looked solemn, and suddenly there was a loud "boom" outside the door, like a thunderclap, which slashed into their hearts.

……

On the other end, the Shang Mansion.

"Excuse me, is the merchant here?" Beigong Han asked in a deep voice.

The housekeeper looked up and down the three well-dressed people in front of him, bowed and said:

"I'm sorry three of you, Xiao Gongzi Shang just went out, I'm afraid I have to wait for a while."

Shen Wan frowned: "Do you know where he went?" ”

"Little ones don't know."

"Then let's go in and wait for him." Beigong Han raised his leg and was about to walk in, but when the housekeeper saw this, he hurriedly stopped:

"This son, you can't ......" The body suddenly fell uncontrollably to the side.

"Offended."

He stabilized his figure, watched the three of them swagger in, shook his head helplessly, and sighed: These three don't seem to be the masters who can be provoked, since they are looking for the little prince, it is better for him not to get involved. After all, there has been a message in the house in the past few days saying that the head of the family intends to let the little son inherit, and he must also have the vision to see and know how to judge the situation.

"Shang Jin is really having a comfortable day......" Shen Wan sighed, a smile on the corner of her mouth. Shang Haozhi, who came from the opposite side, saw this, and his breath was suffocated: Why has the beauties been going to the house one after another since Shang Jin came back? Beigong Han felt the scorching gaze over there, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes: What does this man want to do? If you dare to be disrespectful to the little girl, he will never spare it!

"What are the three of you doing when you come to the house? I'm Shang Haozhi, and I'm glad to do so. He laughed, pretending to be gentle, staring at Shen Wan's exposed snow skin with a pair of eyes, like a fly staring at meat, tightly inseparable.

What the!? He is actually the eldest son of the Shang Mansion? How can it be so frivolous? A burst of anger surged in Beigong Han's heart, and he quickly took off his dark robe, draped it on Shen Wan's body, and wrapped it tightly. He wore only a thin undergarment, and the graceful lines of his muscles loomed; The sleeves are rolled up to the elbows, and the bronzed skin is clearly defined, and it seems to contain great strength.

"I don't care who you are, but if you stare at my woman with this kind of gaze after the warning, see if your eyes are hard, or my fists are hard." He clenched his right hand, and his deep voice carried the storm of desire.

Shang Hao's heart was shocked: there was already a master! He thought it was Shang Jin's stinky boy again...... Fortunately, I didn't make any more drastic moves. He sweated behind his back, and said with a dry smile on his face:

"Ah...... I'm sorry, Mrs. Zun is beautiful, rude. Shang still has something to do, go first. Seeing him leave with a pale face, Shen Wan raised his eyebrows in hindsight: she said that the aura around Beigong's body had changed all of a sudden, and she didn't expect to meet this kind of person in the Shang Mansion, it was really ...... The summer air was extremely hot, a layer of sweat floated on her forehead, and she was about to take off her robe and return it to Beigong Han, but he stopped her:

"Clothed." There was a hint of coercion in his voice. She frowned and grumbled:

"Beigong, it's hot."

"You're wearing too little." He saw Shen Wan pursing his lips and replied, "Be obedient, take it off again in Brother Shang's house." "Lest he bump into someone like Shang Hao on the road, he doesn't know if he can restrain his fists.

Wei Chixuan on the side looked at the stream flowing in the rockery with great concentration, and it seemed that he had never heard of the flirting between the young couple.

“…… All right. Shen Wan pursed her lips and had no choice but to compromise.

"Brother Wei Chi, let's go." Beigong Han saw him looking at the scenery intently, and wondered in his heart: What's wrong with him? The scenery of Shangfu is good, but where can it compare to the palace, you can even see it...... It's weird, it's weird.

"Hmm." Yu Chixuan pursed the corners of his stiff mouth and responded.

……

"Shang Jin! Don't hide in your mother's arms like a turtle with a shrunken head! Haven't had enough milk? If you have the ability, you will come out to fight with my grandfather! Hearing this, Shang Jin clenched his fists and rushed out of the house with a heavy face.

Outside the yamen, a popsicle about half a zhang wide and about a foot high was plunged straight into the soil, bubbling out with a trace of cold air, and behind McGee was a dense army of five hundred, and the armor shone dazzling white in the sun. The passers-by around were stunned, as if they were frightened by this scene. Seeing Shang Jin and his party come out, McGee raised his eyebrows and laughed sarcastically:

"Finally came out my good grandson, grandpa has been waiting for you for a long time." The fist on Shang Jin's side clenched loudly, and the hatred surging in his heart turned into murderous aura and was suddenly released. Mu Ningjiu frowned, for fear that he would not be able to hold back, and duel with McGee here, and as soon as he wanted to speak out, he heard Shang Jin say:

"It turned out to be you. Alas, after not coming for so long, I thought you were dead. The taste of that knife in the chest, isn't it? If you want to break it, I advise you not to ignore the oath, hurt the innocent people, and go to the mountains outside the city. The voice was cold, without a hint of emotion, but it was so well disguised that there was no trace of tremor or anger to be heard. As soon as the words fell, Mu Ningjiu's hands flipped in front of his chest again and again, Sha Luo burst out with a burst of dazzling light, and the three of them disappeared in place. When the onlookers saw this, their eyes widened in disbelief, thinking that they were dreaming.

"Damn......" McGee roared, his hand waved violently, and dozens of ice arrows were fired in unison, and with a "bang", the already dilapidated facilities of the yamen were destroyed in an instant. The crowd erupted in a few screams, and McGee's murderous eyes suddenly swept towards the crowd, and everyone fell silent. As soon as he was about to make a move in his hand, he heard the general beside him say in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, the outcome of the destruction of the oath is unknown, so think again."

With a "swish", the general slung a sword on his shoulder, and McGee looked viciously at the man who dared to disobey his order, and said word by word:

"You say it again?"

When the soldiers in the rear saw that the leader was in trouble, they knelt on the ground and shouted:

"Please think twice!"

"Please think twice!"

"Please think twice!"
