The night was deep, the moon was bright, the stars were dotted, and there was silence all around.

Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door, which disturbed the dreams of Kanazawa and the others.

"Golden Catcher, Golden Catcher!"

In the middle of the night, what can't we talk about tomorrow? Kanazesen rolled over in frustration, unwilling to pay attention.

The knocking on the door from outside continues, and it tends to get heavier and heavier. In order to avoid the old broken courtyard door "dying in the line of duty", Jin Zesen responded very reluctantly: "Here it is!" He put on his cloak and walked briskly.

Outside the courtyard, the knocker was lying on the crack of the door, squinting and trying to look into the courtyard. Before he could see the person who came, the courtyard door was opened by Jin Zesen, and this person almost stumbled into Jin Zesen's arms.

Jin Zesen pushed the man away in disgust and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Turning his head to look at the person who came, he saw that the man was wiping his tears and said: "Jin Zhutou, I am the family member of the Guan master's family, my master, my master is dead!" ”

Jin Zesen was confused, this Guan master is dead, don't go to Lord Jingzhao Yin Lin to report the case, what are you knocking on your door in the middle of the night!

The man seemed to see what Jin Zesen was thinking, and explained: "My wife heard earlier that there is a female servant who helped the government solve the rainy night murder case living in Jin Zhutou's house, and specially sent me to ask her to take a look!" ”

At this time, Ji Xia and Gao Han heard the movement and were walking towards the door, and the conversation between Jin Zesen and Jia Ding just now fell into the ears of the two of them word for word.

"We're going to leave for Taoyuan County at dawn, I'm sorry to let you run in vain." Ji Xia politely rejected the family and prepared to close the courtyard door.

Jing Zhaoyin is responsible for the affairs of the capital, and now he bypasses Jing Zhaoyin and comes directly to the door, which is obviously not in accordance with the rules. Besides, she Ji Xia is not a local yet, she doesn't want to wade into this troubled water!

Seeing that the door was about to be closed, the family was very alert, knelt down directly, kowtowed heavily to Jin Zesen and the others, and said with a crying voice: "My lord is wronged, please make it convenient for you!" ”

Jin Zesen saw Ji Xia's embarrassment, but seeing that the family kept kowtowing to them, he had a posture of vowing not to give up, so he couldn't bear it, and persuaded him: "Ji Xia, or let's go with him first, and when it dawns tomorrow morning, I will ask Lord Lin for guilt!" ”

"Don't worry, Lord Lin won't blame!" Gao Han thought for a moment and said.

The sonorous and powerful voice reached everyone's ears, and Ji Xia seemed to have eaten a reassuring pill and agreed.

The family was overjoyed and stood up. Blood flowed down his cheeks from his forehead, blooming into an eerie flower.

The Guan family's mansion is one of the largest mansions in the capital, and it is not far behind compared to the imperial palace. It's not about how rich and luxurious it is, but about the "artistic conception".

The Guanjia house is centered on a pond and marsh, with rockeries, forests and other scenery, so that no matter from which angle you look at it, there is always a perfect picture in front of you, creating a sense of "many beautiful scenery, close to the mountains and forests".

The design of the flower wall and cloister of the house is more ingenious, with the wall and the cloister intersecting, which shows that the house is more layered.

In the cold moonlight, the scenery in the courtyard is covered with a faint mist, exuding a soft brilliance.

Walking out of the garden along the corridor, the family stopped in front of a courtyard and said to Ji Xia: "My master, just ...... Die in the West Wing, go and see! ”

The door of the house made of high-quality agarwood was hidden, Ji Xia slowly pushed the door open, and saw Mrs. Guan sitting on a chair in the middle of the room at this time, crying, and next to her stood a petite young woman, with her hair scattered, wiping her tears with a handkerchief, Ji Xia remembered that this person was the new concubine Yang of Master Guan.

Seeing that everyone was completely immersed in grief, Ji Xia had no choice but to cough lightly and walked in front of the woman who had the most power to speak in this room at the moment.

When I heard that Master Guan and Mrs. Guan knew each other well, even after Master Guan was rich and noble, he did not abandon his wife and was in love with Mrs. Guan. Perhaps because of proper maintenance, Mrs. Guan's figure is very graceful, and her skin is very smooth and delicate, and she can't tell that she is nearly fifty years old.

"You're Ji Yanzuo?" Mrs. Guan slowly raised her head, looked at Ji Xia, looked at her young face, and asked.

"Exactly."

"Please be an adult to help my lord avenge his grievances!" So saying, he got up from the chair and made a gesture to kneel.

Ji Xia helped her up, nodded, and walked straight into the inner room with Gao Han, while Jin Zesen questioned outside the house.

In the lavishly decorated inner room, there is a swaying candle flame and a wine bottle and two wine glasses on a small carved table.

There was a faint fragrance in the air, adding a bit of ambiguity.

Ji Xia bent down and began to conduct a careful inquest of Master Guan's body.

Gao Han looked at Ji Xia's serious appearance and couldn't help but look stupid. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Ji Xia's slender waist......

Why do you feel this way? She should have been angry, but she was happy in her heart, with Gao Han, no matter what happened, she felt at ease, even if the sky fell, as long as he was there, she could face all difficulties.

She was deeply immersed in it, greedy for the warmth that the cold gave at this moment......

Her face turned red like a ripe apple; It was like a fawn crashing into it in a panic; His breathing gradually became rapid, and his eyes began to become uncomfortable, and he even stopped his hands that were about to examine the corpse, and his hands hung in the air, with nowhere to place.

Her consciousness gradually became foggy, and she almost couldn't help herself to get close to Gao Han.

Gao Han's eyebrows and eyes were getting closer and closer to her, getting closer and closer......

No, you can't!

She forced herself to stay conscious, raised her hand, and slapped Gao Han violently.

Gao Han seemed to wake up from a dream. Even if he has already been moved by this special girl, he has always been calm and self-controlled, and it is impossible to do such a transgressive thing. What's going on! Why do you suddenly become so confused?

"I'm sorry." After Gao Han finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the room.

Ji Xia took a few sharp breaths before forcing his frantic heart to gradually calm down.

She carefully examined Master Guan's body, her face changed slightly, and she came to a conclusion.

Slowly walked out of the room and said to Mrs. Guan, "What is the cause of Master Guan's death...... Sudden death from sex and intercourse. ”

"What!" Everyone was shocked.

"It is commonly known as 'doing death', also known as 'wind on the horse'." Ji Xia changed to a more straightforward way of saying it and explained to everyone.

"Slut!"

Mrs. Guan "snapped", and a slap fell heavily on the face of Yang Shi, the concubine of Master Guan Xinna, who was beside her.

The little concubine didn't dodge, she didn't cry, and let Mrs. Guan beat and scold her.

Jin Zesen couldn't bear it, and hurriedly pulled Mrs. Guan away.

Mrs. Guan seemed to have been drained of all the strength of her body, and she could no longer care about her image, crying and falling down on the chair.

"Ji Yanzuo, are you sure?"

Ji Xia nodded.

This method of death has been described in detail in the "Collection of Records of Clearing Grievances": "Whoever has done too much for a man to exhaust his essence and die on a woman, the truth must not be overlooked." The true will not fade, and the false will wither. This kind of death is the first time Ji Xia has seen it.

However, according to the viewpoint of modern medicine, it is impossible to die from exhaustion of essence in sex and life, and the main reason for this sudden death is high excitement, which induces other diseases, so sudden death.

"My lord doesn't know what kind of ecstasy soup you poured into him, so he has to take you as a concubine, my lord, my lord was killed by you with fox kung fu!" Mrs. Kwan complained in grief.

"You murderer! Hurry up, Jin Catcher, you quickly arrest this murderer! Mrs. Guan pointed at Yang and said to Jin Zesen. Her face was hateful, and her eyes were red, as if she were about to burst into flames.

"Mrs. Guan, please mourn. Master Guan's death was an accident. Jin Zesen looked at Mrs. Guan's appearance that she hated to immediately take a knife and break the Yang family's corpse into ten thousand pieces, and couldn't help but open his mouth to persuade him.

His instincts told him that she couldn't be the murderer.

Then the Yang family finally found a good family to marry, and seeing that the good days were beginning, how could they kill their newlyweds? Besides, the Yang family has a pure and harmless little white flower face, no matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like a person who will kill her husband!

Ji Xia and Jin Zesen left the Guan family, and the two walked side by side on the street.

"Mrs. Guan seems to have a good relationship with Master Guan?" In Ji Xia's mind, Mrs. Guan's grief-stricken face appeared.

"I heard that Mrs. Guan's family name is Huang, a native of Ji County, and her mother's family is in the dyeing business, and she is also well-known in Ji County. In the early years, Kwan Bingchen was just a foreman in her family, and with his handsome appearance and astute eloquence, he won the heart of Mrs. Kwan who was still Miss Huang at the time. She begged bitterly, and finally forced her to die, so that Master Huang accepted Guan Bingchen. At that time, Guan Bingchen made a heavy oath to treat his wife wholeheartedly and never have two hearts. ”

"Then why do you want to marry a concubine!" Master Guan is really an ancient version of the "King of Soft Rice", relying on his wife to develop, in the end, he can't stand the temptation of young and beautiful women! Ji Xia couldn't help but feel sorry for Mrs. Guan. Men really say one thing and do another!

Although he made his first pot of gold with his wife's money, the business has not been smooth. Until I met the Xuanjing Daoist. Xuanjing Dao has the ability to make Guan Bingchen, who is already a little superstitious, like a god. Under the guidance of the Xuanjing Dao Leader, he really became more and more developed. ”

"It's this 'magic stick' again." Ji Xia pursed his lips and snorted coldly disdainfully.

"You're talking nonsense again! Daoist Xuanjing is a person who is really capable......" Jin Zesen couldn't help but retort.

"Then what does this have to do with the concubine?" Ji Xia really didn't want to hear Jin Zesen defend the "god stick" anymore, so he couldn't help but interrupt him. I thought to myself, sooner or later, I would expose the deception of the god stick to everyone.

"No, Daoist Xuanjing calculated that his apprentice and Master Guan had a husband and wife fate for several lifetimes, and he insisted on matching the two people who were dozens of years apart in age! Since then, Master Guan has been singing almost every night, but the spirit of the second day is full! Thinking about it, that woman might really be able to prolong Guan Bingchen's life, so she acquiesced. ”

"By the way, where did Gao Han go?" Kanazawasen asked.

Ji Xia shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"Didn't you go in together to examine the body, and it wasn't long before I saw him hurrying out of the inner chamber alone, and leaving without looking back. What's going on in there? ”

Ji Xia's cheeks suddenly swelled up with two blushes, and the blush spread all the way to the back of his ears and neck, and a wisp of shame penetrated his heart.

Fortunately, it was late at night, and Kanazeden couldn't see her strange appearance at this time.

Ji Xia recalled what happened to Gao Han and her in Master Guan's inner room. What would have happened between them if they hadn't tried so hard to keep their sobriety and continue?

Ji Xia recalled the scene when he first saw Gao Han, just glanced at him, and was attracted by his calm and steady temperament, they worked together to solve one case after another, and he also sacrificed his life three times and twice...... That kind of dependence gives birth to a different kind of emotion. Unconsciously, Gao Han is already a special existence in her heart.

Both of them are obviously restrained people......

As soon as he thought of this, Ji Xia felt that something was wrong, so he said to Jin Zesen: "Brother Jin, you go back first, I will go to the Guan Mansion to get some things." Without waiting for Jin Zesen to answer, Ji Xia ran away.

Ji Xia ran into the Guan Mansion in one breath, and after taking a breath, he bowed slightly to Mrs. Guan and said, "Mrs. Guan, I want to take away the wine jug and aromatherapy in Mr. Guan's room, can you see it?" ”

When Mrs. Guan saw Ji Xia go and return, she immediately leaned forward, with a surprised look on her face. Her hand couldn't help but squeeze the handkerchief tightly and asked, "Ji Yanzuo, but what did you find?" ”

She has always been suspicious of Master Guan's death. Master Guan has always been in good health, how could he ......

She squinted at the concubine, and the cold light in her eyes almost wanted to poke a few holes in the concubine's body.

Ji Xia shook his head and said, "I haven't found it yet." ”

"Okay, you go get it." The light in Mrs. Guan's eyes suddenly dimmed.

"Mrs. Xie Guan."

When she entered the inner room, Ji Xia almost collided with a maid, and was about to apologize, but saw that what the maid was holding in her hand was not the one next to her, it was the "aromatherapy" she wanted to take.

"This is what the second lady asked me to take and throw away." The maid saw Ji Xia's eyes staring directly at the fragrance in her hand, looked at the second lady Guan who was standing beside her, and explained.

"When I'm done with it, I'll throw it away for you." Ji Xia hurriedly took the incense in the maid's hand, turned his head and asked Mrs. Guan again, "Does Mrs. Guan know what this incense is for?" ”

Mrs. Guan shook her head and said she didn't know. But I heard Mrs. Guan Er on the side say: "This is 'Huan Yixiang', the master likes this taste." ”

"I see, thank you Second Lady for your doubts."
