At night, it's quite peaceful.

Nanlin Mansion is heavily guarded, mostly because of the epidemic in Guangling Mansion, the streets are full of patrolling sergeants and government officials, so when Baili Chang'an entered the city, he also underwent many interrogations.

The next morning, I sat at a street stall.

Baili Chang'an stirred the mountain flour paste in the bowl, and his eyes fell on passers-by from time to time, but there was nothing unusual about it.

In an instant, Zi Yan and Zi Lan turned back.

"It's delicious." Baili Chang'an chewed the glutinous rice balls in his mouth, "said while eating." ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The guy served two more bowls of mountain flour paste, which were fresh and hot, sweet and smooth, glutinous but not sticky.

"I've inquired, there is no epidemic in Nanlin Mansion for the time being, it is said that it is because the prefect felt that something was wrong and ordered the siege of the city as soon as possible, so the city is quite stable for the time being." Zi Yan explained.

Zi Lan nodded, "The prefect of Nanlin Mansion, Li Jin." ”

Hearing this, Baili Changan raised his eyebrows, "The one who was belittled by his father, Wenyuan Pavilion...... Li Jin? ”

"Hmm!" Zilan bowed.

Baili Chang'an bit the spoon and frowned thoughtfully, "No wonder this Nanlin Mansion is like a great enemy, heavily guarded, it turns out to be Li Jin!" I patronized Guangling Mansion, but I didn't pay close attention to Nanlin Mansion. ”

"Earlier in the court, Li Jin was quite dissatisfied with the fact that the first emperor favored you, and it was the matter of hurting people on the long street of the horse that you were demoted from Jinling City by the first emperor, and you reached this partial corner." Zi Yan hesitated a little, "Master, let's leave early!" ”

Li Jin knew Baili Chang'an, and if he knew that she was in the city, his whereabouts would definitely be exposed.

"What else?" Baili Chang'an stirred the mountain flour paste in the bowl, "Is that all?" ”

Zi Yan lowered her eyes.

"The slave knows." Zilan pursed her lips, "Slave maid...... Entered the palace. ”

Zi Yan looked up in amazement, "Didn't you tell you not to go in?" ”

Zilan: "Don't be afraid! ”

Zi Yan: "......"

"Those people are talking about it, as if there is a gourd valley in the south of Guangling Mansion, and the epidemic came from there." Zilan whispered, "The first person who was infected was the one who went into the valley to collect medicine, and when he came out, he went crazy, and the people in the village were defenseless, thinking that they had encountered an evil wind. ”

Baili Chang'an stared, "Valley? ”

"Hmm!" Zi Lan nodded, "The madman was carried back to the village, and the epidemic began to spread in the village, and it spread out out of control. ”

Hearing this, Zi Yan was a little puzzled, "That's ...... Has anyone gone into the valley to see it? ”

Zilan shook her head.

Or, you can't get in.

Or, people go to Gukong.

"There must be something strange about this valley." Zi Yan ate the mountain flour paste in the bowl.

Baili Chang'an wrapped his back molars, "Crazy? ”

Crazy, is it because of drugs, or is it really scared crazy?

"Hasn't the doctor seen those madmen?" Baili Changan asked.

Zilan shook her head, "Those people didn't say. ”

That's all you can hear.

"After such a long time, these madmen are the first batch of people to be infected with the epidemic, but I am afraid that they have died." Baili Chang'an sighed, and suddenly lost his appetite, "There is no proof of death, what can you do?" ”

Zi Yan didn't think so, "If it was really poisoned, as long as the bones are still there, there must be clues." ”

The first batch of infected ones died inexplicably, and they should not be burned.

After that, when symptoms appeared one after another, people would suspect that it was an epidemic, and they would report it to the government, and then take the necessary mistakes.

"Come to think of it, the body is still there?" Zilan said.

Baili Chang'an was silent.

Not necessarily!

If it's a natural disaster, the body may still be there.

If it is a man-made disaster, the corpse is ironclad evidence, and those who have a heart will definitely burn the evidence as soon as possible.

Otherwise, why did the first emperor order the epidemic to be dealt with when he was alive, but why has it not been able to control it now, but has spread more and more? It can be seen that things are not so optimistic.

"Let's go back to the inn first." Baili Chang'an got up.

Zi Lan stood up immediately, Zi Yan put aside the meal money, and went back with Baili Chang'an.

It's just that as soon as the three of them arrived at the door of the inn, a large number of officials surrounded them.

"What are you doing?" Zi Yan drank vigorously.

Zilan stood in front of her master, her eyes were calm, and her body was murderous.

"Official, it's them!" An obscene man stepped forward and pointed out, "Last night, these three people passed through the alley. ”

When he said this, Baili Chang'an was confused, and Zi Lan and Zi Yan also looked at each other.

What was last night?

What alley?

The three of them entered the city before dark, but after entering the city, they only ate in the restaurant on the side of the street, and crossing the alley was the only way back to the inn, so they didn't do anything else.

"Three of them are from a foreign country?" The leader should be the head catcher, a pair of cold eyes looked up and down at Baili Chang'an, but I really have never seen such a handsome white-faced offspring, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a person who can kill.

However, people can't be disguised, how can they be arbitrary?!

"What's wrong with someone from a foreign country?" Zi Yan snorted, "Outsiders can't pass through here?" ”

The catcher shook his head, "It's not really, it's just that a person died in the alley last night, and someone saw that it was three people who did it, and then the three people entered the inn." ”

"Three?" Zi Yan snorted, "So as long as there are enough three people, you are the murderer?" ”

When he asked this, the headcatcher was speechless.

"See your face clearly?" Baili Changan asked.

The lewd man hunched his back, his eyes flashing, "Anyway...... It's you, the three men in black, anyway. ”

Unfortunately, Baili Chang'an went out in a black robe, and so did Zi Yan and Zi Lan, who happened to be three people in black.

"There are more people wearing black clothes in the world, are they all murderers?" Zi Yan sneered, "I didn't find out yet, so I ran here to arrest people?" Who is the deceased? What was the motive for the killing? What is the cause of death? ”

asked a series of questions, and the other party couldn't answer a word.

"Don't talk nonsense, take it all!" The head catcher couldn't speak, anyway, if there was any suspicion, he would take it all away, standing here and confronting people, it was too embarrassing, take it away.

Baili Chang'an opened his lips faintly, "I hope you don't regret it." ”

Who would have thought that after a trip to Nanlin Mansion, it would actually ...... Can't go?!

Oh, Li Jin, Li Jin, that's how you rule?

The original ambition seems to be nothing more than that.

"Master?" Zi Yan was stunned for a moment, and when she saw Baili Chang'an turn around, she followed, and immediately pressed Zi Lan, who was about to move, "Don't mess around, watch the master act." ”

Zilan held the hand of the sword, slowly let go, nodded and followed behind his master.

This is the first time Baili Chang'an has entered the prison, the stench is unbearable, the surroundings are noisy, the jailer holds a whip, banging on the wooden fence, so that the prisoners keep quiet.

Baili Chang'an stood behind the prison door, and closed her eyes in great displeasure, making her cochlear pain in the noise!
