Song Nan and his soldiers were patrolling to the vicinity of a street called Sweet Water Well on East Street, and there was a sudden noise in the distance, and the sound sounded very terrible in the quiet night, Song Nan hurriedly raised his hand to signal his soldiers to stop, and carefully identified the direction of the sound, and could hear the screams and cries made by people, but they didn't know what happened.

"Nan Ye, it seems that someone is crying, something is wrong!" A small flag under his command.

Song Nan said: "Go and see, it should be at the street corner in front." ”

Everyone ran wildly, turned the corner of the street, the red light flashed in front of them, the figure in front of a three-story building on the opposite side of the street, the red lantern on the porch swayed and dizzy, Song Nan recognized this place, here is the famous Fengyue place in Ulzhou 'Yihongfang', around the New Year's Festival, it is the time when business is booming, so all night long, guests also come and go.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Everyone hurried over, and a small flag shouted and asked.

A woman who was screaming to herself saw the arrival of the soldiers patrolling the city, and hurriedly stepped forward and hurriedly said, "Master Jun, it's not good, someone is dead." ”

The little flag shouted: "Good life replied, this is our chief flag officer, Lord Song, what happened to him quickly let him know." ”

The woman's hair was messy and her sideburns were slanted, and the thick fat powder on her face couldn't hide the panic on her face, and she said sharply: "It's amazing, Master Song, someone died upstairs, go and take a look." ”

Song Nan shouted: "What are you panicking about? Who died, was it the people in your yard or the guests? ”

The woman said: "It's a guest, my God, how can the slave family do such a thing, military master, this matter has nothing to do with the slave family, the slave family and the people in this courtyard don't have the courage to kill people." ”

"Have you ever seen a murderer?"

"I didn't ...... I didn't see it, Xiaocui went up to deliver snacks, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw that the two masters died in the house. The woman cried.

Song Nan frowned, turned his head and shouted: "Immediately block the front and back doors of Yihongfang, all the people here are not allowed to leave a step, Li Zhi, Fang Jian, you two come with me." ”

The soldiers shouted their promises, and immediately took action, driving the guests and several women standing at the door into the gate, several prostitutes were afraid that the matter would come out and the family would know that they had come to visit the kiln, and they were clamoring to leave Yihongfang, Song Nan took out his waist knife and shouted: "Whoever doesn't want to be arrested as a murderer will make a lot of noise; Everyone here is suspicious, and no one will want to leave until they find out. ”

After that, he took Li Zhifangjian and two small flags upstairs, the second floor was already empty, there was a murder, and the fans and guests upstairs had already fled downstairs like frightened birds, and the entire second floor was silent.

"Lady, what room is it?" Li Zhi asked downstairs.

The woman said in a trembling voice: "It's the third room in the west, military master, don't do our business." ”

"What's the matter?" Li Zhi scolded.

Song Nan picked up the knife in his hand, rushed up to the corridor in three steps and two steps, Fang Jian behind him hurriedly rushed forward to block Song Nan's head, and the three of them quickly came to the door of the third room in the west, Fang Jian made a look, raised his foot and kicked it, kicked the hidden wooden flower door wide open, and then rushed in with a knife.

Song Nan and Li Zhi also rushed in, the scene in front of them was unbearable, under the flickering candlelight, the two men fell to the ground bare-chested, the blood on the ground was gushing, and there was a big mess, the room was in chaos, and the tea cups on the clothes, shoes and hats were scattered all over the ground, as if they had experienced a fight.

Song Nan gently walked around the blood stains on the ground, pressed his hand on each of the two deceased's neck arteries for a short while, got up and shook his head, "It's dead." ”

Fang Jian sighed and said: "It's a sword wound, Nan Ye, you see, the two of them have a total of more than a dozen wounds, one is fatally wounded in the throat, and the other is in the ribs." ”

Song Nan nodded and commanded in a low voice: "Look for their clothes and see if you can find out their identity." ”

Fang Jian and Li Zhi immediately rummaged through the room slowly, and suddenly, Li Zhi shouted, "Master Nan, look, there is a brand in this dress, it's a waist card!" ”

Song Nan hurriedly took it over and took a closer look under the candlelight, but saw that the waist card was made of bamboo and wood, in the shape of a long strip, and the top was carved with a square cloud pattern, leaving a blank space, wearing black silk, and the front of the waist card was carved with handwriting: Jinyi Wei Ulzhou Hundred Households General Flag, Song Nan turned over the back, and a person's name was carved on it.

Liu ...... Five...... Good fortune! Song Nan read slowly.

"Huh?" Li Zhi and Fang Jian's colleagues were shocked.

Song Nan frowned and said, "This name is so familiar, I really want to hear of this name." ”

Fang Jian hurriedly said: "Master Nan, he is the chief flag officer of the Ulzhou Jinyi Wei Hundred Households." ”

Song Nan suddenly remembered that on the day he joined the company, it was Liu Wufu who came to congratulate Fang Datong, and he still remembered his little white eyes at that time.

Song Nan hurriedly picked up the candle flame and approached the face of the dead corpse on the ground to take a closer look, and after wiping the blood off his face, he finally recognized that the person who fell on the side of the bed was Liu Wufu, the chief flag officer of the Ulzhou Jinyiwei Hundred Households.

After some searching, another person's waist card was also found, it was a lieutenant named Zheng Dahu of the Ulzhou Jinyi Wei Baihu Office, apparently the two came to seek pleasure together, but died here.

Song Nan hurriedly walked out of the house and hurried downstairs, beckoning someone to bring the proprietress for questioning, the old bustard was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he collapsed on the ground and repeatedly stated that he had nothing to do with it.

Song Nan asked, "Who is the person who died, do you know the Dao?" ”

"Slave family...... Where do you know their identities, let's open a yard...... Open the door to do business, just want a guest to be comfortable...... How can you ask the identity of the guest? ”

"The two who died are Jinyiwei!" Song Nan shouted: "Now you are in big trouble. ”

The old bustard was already paralyzed and weak, and when he heard the words, his tears and snot were gushing down, and his face was covered with heavy makeup as if it had been burned by fire, and he was disgusted to watch.

"When did you find out that someone was dead?" Song Nan asked again.

The old bustard howled to himself, not answering Song Nan's question, Fang Jian said angrily: "If you ask something, say it quickly." ”

The old bustard hurriedly said: "Just ...... Just now, the guest ordered drinks and snacks before, and Xiaocui brought it up, and found that it was ...... Someone died inside. ”

"Where's Cui? Call her for questioning. Song Nan said.

The old bustard hurriedly looked around, stretched out his hand and pointed to a girl who was huddled behind the flower bed and said, "Dead girl, are you deaf?" Don't come back to the military master's words yet. ”

The girl was so frightened that she hurriedly ran over and knelt in front of Song Nan, and said repeatedly: "It's none of my business, they were already ...... when I went in It's dead. ”

Song Nan saw that the girl's face was yellow and thin, the clothes on her body were very thin, and her hair was sparse and yellow, and she knew that this girl must be a servant who could only deliver tea and water, and she was afraid that she was a woman from a poor family, so she said gently: "Don't be afraid, you only tell me what you saw." ”

Xiaocui said in a trembling voice: "I went up with drinks and snacks, and when I got to the door, I heard a lot of noise inside, and then I ......."

Song Nan interrupted: "Did you hear the noise? Then why are you still going in? ”

Xiao Cui's face turned red and said, "Here...... There is a lot of noise in the house here...... The original is also unusually tight. ”

Song Nan thought about it for a while, and immediately understood the reason, the brothel is the most unscrupulous place, what kind of weird sounds come out of the room is not strange, what kind of sound can't be made when men and women fight hand-to-hand?

"Go on."

Xiao Cui nodded hurriedly and said, "I pushed them in, and I saw two guests...... I fell to the ground covered in blood, and there was a lot of blood, so I ran out and called for someone. ”

Song Nan said: "Did you only see those two guests?" They didn't call the girl to accompany them? ”

As soon as Song Nan said a word, the old bustard on the ground jumped up like a spring, looked around, and said in a continuous voice: "Huh? What about Gu Fang? What about Qing'er? Didn't she accompany those two guests? Why don't you see them? ”

The girls in the brothel and the nurses hurriedly looked around, and after looking upstairs and downstairs, they didn't see Gu Fang and Qing'er, Song Nan had a little bit of a plan in his heart, this murder case was related to these two women.

"Did anyone see them sneak out of the chaos?" Song Nan asked.

The two guards hurriedly stepped forward to reply, swearing that no one would take advantage of the chaos to slip away, let alone two girls from their own garden.

Song Nan asked the old bustard again about the origin of the two girls, and the old bustard told the truth for a long time, it turned out that the two women had not been in Yihongfang for a long time, only more than ten days, and they claimed that they had no livelihood and voluntarily came here as prostitutes, and the old bustard saw that the appearance of these two people was beautiful, and the business must be good, so he didn't want to stay; The two women offered to pick up the guests for the first time by themselves, otherwise they would not be willing to pick up the guests, and the old bustard agreed to them; As soon as the two guests upstairs came today, the two of them offered to accompany the two guests, and the two guests saw that they were fresh goods in the garden, and that they were very beautiful, so there was no reason to refuse, but they did not know that they were about to die.

When the matter came to this point, it could basically be concluded that the death of the two Jinyi guards must have something to do with the two women, Song Nan lowered his head and thought about it and ordered: "Immediately send someone to inform the state government to arrest the fast and the Jinyi guard yamen, Li Zhifangjian, bring a dozen brothers to follow me upstairs." ”

Fang Jian promised, and couldn't help but ask, "Master Nan, what are you doing with someone going up?" It's better to wait for the yamen to come and hand over soon. ”

Song Nan said in a low voice: "I estimate that these two women are still in this building, they can kill Jinyiwei, these two should have martial arts, tell the brothers to be careful." ”
