In the spring of March, far from the sultry season of summer, especially in the second half of the night, the coolness of the thousand-year-old city will make even those who are thinly dressed shiver.

The windows of the study facing the backyard were open at this time, and the coolness poured in from the window and went straight to the heart.

However, the squire of the criminal department, who always showed people with a stiff face on weekdays, stood in front of the quaint bookcase, and watched the seat that originally belonged to him being occupied by others at the moment, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Although this person covered his face with a black scarf, who was Li Yanfeng? He had been in charge of the criminal case prison in the Criminal Department for many years, and he had personally tried many prisoners, and observing words and colors was what he should be best at; those slender hands, the delicate body hidden by a pair of loose clothes, and the eyes as beautiful as the stars in the sky, each showed the appearance of this person.

This is a woman, oh no, to be precise, this person is no more than twenty-eight years old, this is a girl who is as cold as snow.

One of her hands seemed to be soft and boneless, but Li Yanfeng had no doubt that these hands could easily pinch his throat.

It is worthy of being a person who is accustomed to seeing the winds and waves in officialdom, and after experiencing so many bloody storms, when facing such a situation, he can still quickly judge this information in his mind.

However, that didn't help him.

After so many years of entering the official career, he finally encountered a greater dilemma than being framed in the dungeon of the Zongren Mansion that year.

He was standing on thin ice at this time, and the slightest wrong step would be a doom.

Li Yanfeng could feel beads of sweat on his side face. His throat moved, and he made a hoarse and unpleasant sound, but nothing came out.

In the dead of night, he crossed the heavy guards, and even crossed the guard formation in the mansion, and broke into the study of a criminal servant in his face, and the meaning behind this is self-evident.

The girl's gaze fell on him, but it made him feel like a knife, and he didn't even dare to look directly into the other party's eyes, for fear of seeing himself trembling, and even more afraid of the coldness in those eyes that seemed to regard everything as ants.

In front of a young girl, he felt like a goose that had been stripped naked and waiting to be slaughtered, and his neck was lifted, just waiting for the knife that would determine his fate.

"Who are you?"

After a while, Li Yanfeng finally calmed down and asked questions first. When and how the masked girl came in, he couldn't figure it out, but he was still alive at the moment, which means that the other party still needs to live at least temporarily, and even has something to ask for himself, so he doesn't need to worry about his life at this moment.

However, as soon as his voice landed, and the questioning end had not yet been fully spoken, the girl's fingers moved slightly, and the lights in the room dimmed suddenly.

It was as if for a moment, even the wind was still.

When the candle flame was lit again, Li Yanfeng's forehead was already oozing beads of sweat the size of beans, he clenched his teeth, and his whole face was distorted by pain.

A tiny hole appeared in his left shoulder, and bright red blood was silently dripping out.

Piercing through other people's bodies is a means that can only be used by practitioners. What the masked girl used was just the simplest condensation of energy, but this simple finger was not something that an elderly ordinary person could resist.

Li Shilang didn't shout, but just pressed the bleeding place with his right hand, as smart as him, of course, he knew that if he shouted loudly because he couldn't bear the pain, the moment he opened his mouth, it would be the last moment of his life.

He looked pained, gritted his teeth and said, "Say, whatever you want, as long as I have it, you can discuss it." ”

He was answered by another invisible finger.

This time, he had two bloody holes in his left shoulder.

In just two breaths, most of the robes made of fine silk were dyed bright red, and the Great Xia officials, who had always attached great importance to their appearance, had become embarrassed and curled up in the corner like a small finch.

He remained silent.

It was just that after this finger, he immediately understood what the other party meant.

If I don't let you speak, you can't speak.

How cold!

The bright red blood looked particularly dazzling under the lamp, and Li Yanfeng looked at the girl, and his eyes finally showed a thick horror for the first time.

Li Shilang, who understood that pampered and accustomed to being pampered, showed such a look, and Ye Qingxue's mood barely fluctuated.

She has seen too many such eyes.

She had seen it many times from that night seven years ago to tonight, and often dreamed of those near-death looks, which were the deepest fears of people.

Tonight won't be the end.

After a moment of silence, she finally spoke: "Pressing the wound with your hand may reduce the pain, but it will make the blood flow faster, and if you continue to do this, even if I don't kill you, you won't survive for half an hour." ”

Li Yanfeng was shocked.

Without giving him more time to think about other things, Ye Qingxue took off the black towel covering his face.

The moment the black scarf fell, the servant of the criminal department, who had been in the sea for decades, finally knew what it was like to feel desperate.

If it was ordinary, he would definitely appreciate the very beautiful girl in front of him in detail, but at this moment, how could he pay attention to anything else, he saw the appearance of the other party, so would this person still let himself live?

Seeing his dejected appearance, Ye Qingxue stood up and said lightly: "You don't have to worry, I won't kill you, even if I really want to do that, even if I have killed you countless times in my dreams every night in the past years, I still won't kill you, okay, you can speak." ”

After hearing her say that she would not kill you, Li Yanfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After only two glances, he was already convinced that he didn't know this girl, so it meant that the other party was most likely instructed by someone else or took money to do things.

Whose person is she?

Prime minister?

Divine General's Mansion?

God's Imperial Prison?

Perhaps......

Palace?

"What do you want?" he said, repeating his question.

"Before I ask, I want to remind you of one thing, my knife is fast, fast enough to cut your tongue or neck before you scream. ”

Li Yanfeng was stunned, looking at that beautiful face, it was hard to imagine that such a face would be associated with such cold and vicious words.

Ye Qingxue looked at him, although her voice couldn't hear any ups and downs, and there should be no expression on her face, she knew better than the other party that it took a lot of strength to suppress that impulse.

The impulse that permeated every part of her body, the impulse that was deep in her blood and bones.

"What I want is actually very simple, just a very simple sentence. ”

"What?"

"Seven years ago, thirty-six people from the Imperial History Ouyang Shi Mansion died overnight, and even the Red Cavalry Guards guarding the Imperial History Mansion were wiped out, and the person who presided over the trial of this case at that time was you, am I wrong?" Ye Qingxue slowly took a step forward, and with this gentle step to the ground, the person who was shrinking in the corner shrank back again.

"Seven years ago?Ouyang Shi?" When Li Yanfeng first heard the other party say this, he had such a short period of confusion, there were too many cases he had tried, and the number of mortals who were sentenced to death under his hands and even beheaded by him personally was countless, thirty-six lives...... It's really nothing.

The population of the Great Xia Dynasty was more than 10 million, and every day in an unnoticed place, I don't know how many people died. Human life is really not more expensive than grass mustard.

He thought about it carefully, his body suddenly shook, and he lost his voice: "Seven years ago, you, who are you? You, is your surname Ouyang? However, everyone in the Ouyang Mansion should have died back then, even ...... How, how could it be?"

What he was about to blurt out was that there were not half of the cultivators in Ouyang's entire mansion, and even the three dogs raised in the mansion had their heads cut off, and it was impossible for anyone to escape.

Speaking of the back, his voice became smaller and smaller, and his face became more and more pale, without even a trace of blood, but he muttered: "How is this possible? You, who told you what happened seven years ago?"

Ye Qingxue took another step forward and said softly: "The person who is asking the question is me, and you," she looked at Li Yanfeng and said word by word: "You can choose to answer, or I will kill you with a knife and kill until you die." ”

Li Yanfeng shuddered violently.

It was a biting cold that emanated from the girl's body.

Her eyebrows and eyes are so beautiful, her lips are so soft, but the words that come out of her lips seem to come from the abyss of hell under the Nine Shadows.

Her eyes were cold, and her tone of voice was cold, as if she was not facing a living person, but a pile of rotten flesh that had rotted.

No matter who it is, being watched by such a person, will definitely not feel comfortable, Li Yanfeng swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and said astringently: "Those people, I didn't kill them, I am just responsible for reviewing this case, they ......"

Ye Qingxue interrupted him without hesitation, and still said extremely calmly: "Of course I know that they were not killed by you, you were just a fourth-grade official of the Great Xia Mansion back then, how could you have the ability to deal with a second-rank imperial historian? What I want to know is, who is the real main messenger behind this matter?"
