Anling Station.

The couple led their son into the lobby, and the old man was overflowing with joy and introduced his son Cui Zhi, who had been missing for five years.

Fan Shucheng hurriedly congratulated Cui Laohan: "Good people have good rewards, maybe it was your sincerity that moved the heavens." ”

Cui Laohan smiled from ear to ear, and then said, "We have invited you to this meal tonight, you eat and drink well." Then he said to the old woman, "Old woman, go and dig up the old wine that I have treasured for many years." ”

There was a happy atmosphere, only Shangguan Xiao was calm and abnormal.

Cui Zhizheng was burying his head in eating meat, as if there was no one around.

"I guess I'm hungry, son, you've suffered outside all these years." Cui Laohan couldn't help but burst into tears when he said this.

Cui Zhi ignored it and continued to feast.

"Eat slowly, it's not enough for the kitchen." The old woman said, her eyes full of pity.

After dinner, Lu Shaoyun walked out of the lobby and brought a small rattan chair to sit down in the courtyard.

The autumn moon was hanging high, the night was as cold as water, and he missed his parents on the other side of time and space, and he didn't know how they were now.

Suddenly, a group of people and horses outside the post station came with torches, looking like people from the government.

The two rows of officers and soldiers entered the post station in an orderly manner, and the leader dismounted and walked out of the ranks, shouting at Lu Shaoyun: "Cui Zhike is inside? ”

When Cui Laohan walked out of the door, Shangguan Xiao was already protecting Lu Shaoyun's side, not angry and arrogant, even if the other party was not targeting Lu Shaoyun.

Lu Shaoyun noticed her actions, and felt a little warm, and the night was not so cold.

"Master Guan, do you have anything to do with my son?" Cui Laohan was faintly worried, and hurriedly explained, "My son is careful to abide by his duty, he shouldn't do anything, right?" ”

"He killed someone." The other party said coldly.

"How is that possible?" Cui Laohan heard this sentence like a bolt from the blue, he knew that his son was a person, honest and responsible, how could he kill someone?

Cui Laohan hurriedly added: "You must be mistaken, my son is diligent and diligent in building the Great Wall of the border for Zhenyuan, you can't slander good people." ”

"Don't get in the way of official business, or you will take it with you!" The other party shouted angrily.

"You must be mistaken." The old woman also came out to defend her son.

"Go in and search for someone!" The other party didn't listen at all, and directly ordered the opponent.

Cui Laohan wanted to stop it, but was pushed down by an officer and soldier, and the old woman panicked to help Cui Laohan, and shouted inside: "Son, run!" ”

Lu Shaoyun couldn't stand it anymore, blocked in front, and said to the leader: "Do you have evidence?" There is no evidence to arrest people indiscriminately, is there still a king law in Zhenyuan? ”

The leader smiled: "Where did the country boy come from?" The lord of Luoshui City is the king! Get out of the way! ”

After speaking, he signaled his subordinates to drive him away, and an officer and soldier stepped forward to prepare to move, but Shangguan Xiao slapped him away with the back of a traceless knife, and then came to the side of the leader in an instant, put the knife on his neck, and said coldly: "According to the Law of Zhenyuan, there should be a search warrant before arresting people." ”

"yes, what about the warrant?" Lu Shaoyun asked.

"Yes, yes, I'll get it." The leader immediately confessed, his eyes glanced at the blade, and swallowed his saliva carefully.

Shangguan Xiao slowly withdrew the knife and let him go back to get the search warrant.

But as soon as he let go, the man hurriedly retreated to the team, restored his original appearance, and ordered his subordinates: "Take them all for me!" ”

A small border town, without the supervision of the capital, is used to being domineering, Lu Shaoyun knows that what he encounters is not good stubble, but he doesn't understand why the other party is so enthusiastic to catch an ordinary strong man, if he really killed someone, he should not run home, and he also affected his parents, and he was missing for five years, and he suddenly returned, which is really suspicious.

But right now, he was a little worried about whether Shangguan Xiao would be able to cope with it, after all, she was still injured, and her spirit had been tortured by the influence of that little monster.

What's more, there are two powerless people in the house, plus herself, alas, with three, it's really a little difficult for her.

Lu Shaoyun suddenly had such an idea, it would be great if he knew martial arts, and it would be good to defend himself with a firecracker, but now, he could only pray silently.

Lu Shaoyun retreated to the side very knowingly and hid, trying not to cause her trouble.

Under the moonlight, Shangguan Xiao's long knife flipped over, or blocked, or attacked, such as Bai Lian dancing around his body, after a while, most of the officers and soldiers were broken by the back of his knife, lost their attack power, and wailed, and the soldiers in the rear were frightened by this woman's "one force to ten meetings" and retreated, and none of them dared to step forward.

At this moment, there was a sound of fighting in the house, followed by a call for help, but the sound sounded like someone from the other party, and it turned out that some of the soldiers secretly went around the house under the signal of the leader, ready to arrest someone, but it seemed that they had encountered hard stubble.

"What's going on?" Fan Shucheng walked out of his room at this time, saw the scene in the courtyard, and hurriedly and consciously retreated into the house, closing the doors and windows.

"They went in and arrested people." Lu Shaoyun reminded Shangguan Xiao in the rear.

At this moment, a soldier staggered out of the lobby, and within a few steps, his body was pierced by an unknown sharp weapon, and he died.

The leader was so frightened that he swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva, and said to the rest of the people in a panic: "Go, withdraw!" ”

The group of men and horses left the post station one after another, and they didn't even have time to transport the corpse away.

What weapons? Shadowless and invisible, directly piercing the body, the pistol was invented in this era? But I didn't hear the gunshots, and I didn't see hidden weapons such as bullets, it was too strange, and Lu Shaoyun was also a little shocked.

He found that Shangguan Xiao was staring into the lobby for a while, as if he had found something, so he hurriedly asked, "Do you see what killed him?" ”

Shangguan Xiao shook her head, her expression indicating that she seemed to be thinking about something.

"Speak, speak your mind." Lu Shaoyun saw her thoughts.

"I'm just not sure." Shangguan Xiao glanced at Lu Shaoyun, then looked into the lobby and said, "There seems to be something else in it." ”

"But I don't see anything else." Lu Shaoyun looked inside for a while.

"My son......" Cui Laohan stood up and walked towards the house by himself.

"Don't go." Shangguan Xiao said unconsciously.

But Cui Laohan completely ignored the sounds around him, bypassed the corpse on the steps, and stepped into the lobby with one foot.

The old woman also walked in.

The two thought that their son had been killed, but they never thought that he was sitting in the corner of his room, intact, but they still did not say a word.

The two squatted down and hugged him and cried.

Lu Shaoyun and Shangguan Xiao also came in, and when they saw that the three of them were safe and sound, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

Until the two found that there was still a soldier's corpse lying in the room, and the body was also pierced, Lu Shaoyun's previous doubts deepened again, and there was no one else in the room except Cui Zhi, and all the doubts were focused on him.

After a period of time, the second elder of the Cui family and Lu Shaoyun and his party discussed countermeasures together.

"I always believed that my son would not kill people, there must be some other reason, maybe someone who looks like my son did it." Cui Laohan is still defending his son.

"I don't know what happened before, but now, how do you explain these two corpses?" Lu Shaoyun still couldn't help but say, although he sympathized with them, if he really killed someone, then no one could save him.

"Then you don't have any evidence that my son must be a murderer." Cui Laohan's eyes were firm.

At this moment, another person came from outside the station.

Everyone turned their eyes to the visitor, and when they got closer, they saw the appearance of the visitor, a handsome young man with a lofty spirit, holding a bronze ancient sword.

The man spoke, "I know who the murderer is. ”
