Chapter 49: The Smell of the Dead

Xiao Yue'er brought the key after a while, the key was clean, and it could be seen that it was not too long since the last time it was used.

After Xiao Yue'er opened the door, she stayed at the door. After all, it was a girl's house, Wang Yi didn't say much, and pulled Wang Liang, who was trembling beside him, into the courtyard.

The courtyard is very large, and the feng shui is also very good, which can be regarded as sitting north and facing south. Across the street is a bustling street market, and you can occasionally hear the sound of soldiers passing by.

It is also since the death of the town government here that the officials here have been under the hands of the generals who defend the city. After all, this is the junction of the two countries, and the usual patrols are considered close.

Wang Yi looked at these overgrown weeds, and there was a very large peach tree in front of them. The courtyard at the back is also divided into two floors, which is a two-door layout.

If I'm not mistaken, the room in the back of this should be the wife and children of the town guard.

Wang Yi looked around in the courtyard, and didn't see anything unusual, the house was locked from the outside, Xiao Yue'er shook her head and said that the key was probably not found, it was the first, that is, the first emperor, the lock that was put on after the death of the town.

Wang Yi didn't say much, just took another turn in the courtyard.

Maybe Xiao Yue'er said outside the courtyard that the former patrol envoy was divided into five horses on this peach tree. What's the matter, Wang Yi and Wang Liang both felt that this peach tree seemed to grow very brightly, and at the same time, it was unusually cold.

Fortunately, the sun was hanging high, and the two of them were shrouded in sunlight, so that they would not be dominated by the coldness in their hearts.

Wang Yi suddenly stopped under the peach tree and took a deep breath.

His brow furrowed, and the smell seemed somewhat familiar. He closed his eyes, lowered his head, and spun around, his fingers clenched tightly. Sometimes, you will find that the memory of your body is more useful than the memory of your head.

Wang Yi recalled that it was in that courtyard. At that time, I felt a chill in my back, my whole body collapsed nervously, and I clenched the short sword in my hand. At that time, the breath coming from the tip of the nose was just like that.

Faint, but unusually weird taste. It is said to be stinky, but it is not all, and it is said to be fragrant, let alone not, just like the smell of sweat and the smell of musk. It's weird, it's uncomfortable, but it doesn't smell bad.

Wang Yi suddenly understood that this must be a man-made homicide case.

The foreign body is not a foreign body, but a person. And there is a close connection with that yard.

Wang Yi thought, it seems that he has to find another opportunity to go in again. In order to truly crack the secret of the mysterious death of the patrolman.

Wang Liang pretended to be calm, but in fact, his feet trembled involuntarily.

Maybe it's the air, maybe it's the psychological shadow, maybe it's the taste. In short, everything here makes Wang Liang feel uncomfortable. Looking at Wang Yi's face, sometimes frowning, sometimes stretching his brows, Wang Liang's face changed ten times, so Wang Liang didn't dare to make a sound, and waited quietly. He understands that the husband of his own family is like this when he thinks about problems.

After waiting for a long time, Wang Yi's expression relaxed slightly, and his eyes turned to Wang Liang. Wang Liang knew that at this time, Mr. already had an idea in his heart.

He said, "Sir, can we go out?"

"Let's get out. Wang Yi nodded. Walking to the gate of the courtyard, Xiao Yue'er relocked the lock, and said to the two that the room had been cleaned and the things had been put away, so that the two of them could have a short rest and then have a meal.

Now Wang Liang was comfortable. I am used to living a hard life, and finally someone has served me, and it must be a happy thing.

It was in the mysterious house that Wang Yi was thinking about.

In a luxurious room, a middle-aged man is comfortably crossing his feet, massaging the people around him.

The middle-aged man, impressively, is Ye Siyuan, Lord Ye.

A girl wearing a mask walked beside him, walked in front of him, took off the ghost mask, and blessed Lord Ye.

Lord Ye lay on the recliner and knocked on the chair to make the sound of Koko, and the subordinates walked out one after another, not forgetting to close the door.

The girl who took off the ghost mask and raised her head was Xu Qingruo.

Xu Qingruo said to Lord Ye in front of him, "I don't know if Lord Ye knows about today's events?"

"Oh, are you saying that at today's auction, a distinguished guest came in, causing our auction to stop temporarily?" Lord Ye said slowly, looking at his nails, and didn't seem to care too much.

"Yes. Xu Qingruo nodded, and then asked, "I don't know what Lord Ye has planned?"

Master Ye put down his hand, tilted his head, thought for a while, and said, "Isn't it just a new patrolman? What's so terrible? Besides, to put it bluntly, even if he finds out, he has no evidence, and it is impossible to find out about our buying and selling of officials." “

"Perhaps, the emperor sent him over not to investigate the purchase and sale of official positions?" Xu Qingruo said.

This sentence really made Lord Ye think about it. He stood up, paced around the room for a few steps, turned around and asked, "So, Qingruo, what do you think?"

"Qingruo, I only know that those people are innocent of death, and they all betrayed Lord Ye, either greedy and selfish, or they want to tell the truth privately. That's why he died. Xu Qingruo smiled slightly. It seemed that those lives were so lightly deserved in her eyes.

"Well, I know Qingruo's heart, and I promised you, but I asked you anything. The mysterious death of everyone's envoy is indeed easy to attract the attention of the emperor. The first few times, I sent someone to assassinate them, but the last time, I really couldn't find out anything about those patrols with five horses and corpses, let alone the current ones. Master Ye said: "If Wang Yi is really here to check this, then let him check." “

"If you're afraid, he can't find out who is behind the scenes, but instead pulls you in, Master Ye. “

"Pull in? He thinks this Suiyuan is so easy to get into, and it's so easy to get out?"

"That's not true, even if the invitation sent out by the adult, most people can't understand it. Qingruo's worry is that there are always people who covet this pastry, which is always uneasy. “

"Qingruo is right, then, tomorrow, I will find a time to meet him, and tell him some secrets by the way. Lord Ye nodded and said.

"Yes. That's what you'll need tomorrow. Xu Qingruo blessed his body and put on a mask.

"Haha, sure enough, Qingruo still understands me. Go ahead. Master Ye reached out and patted Xu Qingruo's buttocks and said with a smile.

After watching Xu Qingruo leave the room, Lord Ye's brows furrowed involuntarily.

shouted, and the attendant outside the door walked in. Lord Ye asked, "Is there a letter from Anyang recently?"

"No, sir. “

"Alright, you go down. "Lord Ye always feels uneasy. This time, the emperor suddenly sent someone to Fuzhou, which should not be a strange thing, why did he always feel weird, as if something was going to happen.

Wang Yi, is it? It seems that I have to get to know this person well.

Xu Qingruo in the courtyard looked at the bright sky, smiled slightly, and took a deep breath of air, the air was filled with a faint fragrance, that is, the smell of the dead.
