The stars are dim, and the moonlit night is hazy.

In the distance, on an old dead tree, a few jackdaws whined warmly. The starry candles flickered in the capital, flickering bright and dark, and the warmth was eternal.

It was the dark moon and the wind was high, and near Xisi, a black shadow was pacing on the roof, and his light body kung fu was very good, stepping on the roof rubble without any sound, taking advantage of the night, he sneaked into the morgue.

The West Fourth Archway is located at the mouth of the downtown area, and is symmetrical with the East Fourth Archway. At that time, there was such a saying, "Kill in the west, cut in the east", that is to say, kill the head in the west fourth archway, and cut the punishment in the east fourth archway. Xisi is mainly the territory of the Ming Dynasty's execution, and there are countless people who have lost their heads here. Yu Qian and Yu Shaobao, who defended Beijing, died here, and on the day of the execution, the women and children in the capital cried and sent off. Liu Jin, the emperor of the Zhengde Dynasty, and Yuan Chonghuan of the Chongzhen Dynasty are all late here, which is a later story.

The morgue in Xisi is also for the purpose of collecting unclaimed corpses, which is generally managed by the government, but Jinyiwei is fully responsible for these days.

The black shadow crouched on the roof and took a look, and there were still sheds built a few days ago around Xisi, and a few high piles to show the heads of the public stood quietly. He jumped over the wall and crept into the morgue.

The morgue is neither big nor small, with twenty rooms in the middle of nowhere. The black shadow touched a room, took out the fire fold from his bosom and polished it, and swept it around, this room was less than fifty corpses. He tirelessly flipped through the pieces of white cloth, clearly looking for something.

While he was groping, he heard the footsteps outside the house, and the black shadow hurriedly extinguished the fire and hid in the dark to hold his breath and be silent.

The two patrols outside the house had already discovered the candlelight in the house, so they quietly approached, silently, the blade of the knife at the waist slowly unsheathed, and lay on both sides of the door.

The two looked at each other and nodded. One kicked the door open, and at this moment, the black shadow flew away, and the two chased after him.

Xun Qianji heard about this and reported to Murong urgently.

When the two arrived, the thieves had already fled. Murong hurriedly surveyed the scene, and the house was in a mess, and it had already been turned over by thieves.

"Ask someone to clean up, and I'll go out and discuss." Murong commanded to walk out of the room.

"What do the thieves want to do when they visit the morgue at night?"

"Is it ......?"

Xun Qianji looked at Murong with a smile on his face, Murong closed his eyes tightly and nodded.

The two understood and went to a side house together.

There was only one corpse parked in the house, and that was Yang Lianen's corpse.

Xun Qianji closed the door tightly, then walked towards Yang Lianen's corpse, exposed his arms to his shoulders and said, "I have found something!" You see, the corpse's palms are thick and calloused, and there are many calluses on the shoulders. At first glance, it is the result of years of work. Imagine that a senior member of the DPRK and the Central Committee, who was born in a wealthy family, how could he do such drudgery? How do you get these calluses? This suspicion is also a point! ”

Xun Qianji sorted out the corpse and said to Murong: "In addition, this person has a strong body and strong bones, and he definitely doesn't look like a civil official who is a weak scholar, and this suspicion is two!" ”

Murong nodded frequently, the two discussed for a long time, looked at each other and smiled, and left in turn.

Not long after the two left, one of them pushed the door and entered. It was the black shadow that had fled just now.

It turned out that the black shadow did not go far, but he kept hiding in the dark to observe, in order to find Yang Lianen's body.

The black shadow didn't wipe the fire this time, saw the location of the corpse, and didn't stop for much, hurriedly picked up the corpse and grabbed the door and left.

The black shadow was inevitably slow to carry the corpse, and struggled to climb over the wall, and was about to leave, when suddenly the fire around it was like day, and several brocade guards surrounded it under the wall, and the black shadow had already taken precautions, and threw the iron ball in his hand, and the smoke was everywhere, and the black shadow took advantage of the chaos to escape.

Seeing this, Murong and Xun Qianji were not in a hurry, and Qianhu looked at the ground for a while, stood up and pointed in a direction and said, "This way!" Qianhu's expression was very determined, and Murong did not hesitate and said, "Keep up!" ”

Xun Qianji claimed to have no last resort, since he had already set up an ambush, how could he let the gangsters escape easily.

The black shadow ran for several miles with the corpse on his back, gradually becoming a little weaker. Suddenly, I felt a lightness on my body, and the corpse jumped up on its own.

The black shadow was overwhelmed with fright, and the corpse was alive!

The corpse knocked the shadow to the ground, immobilizing him.

What kind of corpse is alive, it was Ouyang Li pretending. And when the black shadow escaped, it was Ouyang who left a mark on the road that Murong was able to judge the direction. Only then did the black shadow know that he had been tricked, and he was bitter.

When Murong and the others arrived, the black shadow had already been subdued. All this is a bureau set up by Xun Qianji, knowing that the black shadow will not give up, there must be an attempt to break into the morgue at night, and sure enough, it is for Yang Lianen.

"Tell me, what are you! Why do you come here late at night to rob corpses? Xun Qianji asked.

The black shadow bowed his head and was silent, and suddenly his body straightened, and his seven orifices bled to death.

Ouyang hurriedly stepped forward to check his pulse and shook his head at Murong.

Xun Qianji pondered: "This technique is very similar...... East Factory! Quick, bring it back and I'll check it! ”

After the corpse was carefully examined by Xun Qianji, sure enough, the thief was stabbed below.

Ouyang Dao: "It must be those eunuchs, what are they going to do?" ”

Xun Qianji wiped the man on his forehead, and panted: "Based on this alone, it is not enough to conclude that he is from Dongchang!" In case it is a thief pretending to be a fan of Dongchang, the technique and body can be disguised, and no subjective judgment can be made. ”

Murong pondered for a moment, his mind flashing back to what had happened in the past few days. If Yang Lianen was really assassinated by the people of Dongchang, if this person was really the son of Dongchang, then why did he come to steal the body, and why did he help Jinyiwei arrest Ning Wuwu before. He sighed and said, "The relationship is so complicated! ”

"If Dongchang killed Yang Lianen, why did they steal the body? Obviously, it was for the purpose of planting a blame, and the person who stole the corpse wanted to steal the corpse, it must be that there was a secret on the corpse. Xun Qianji's words are not unreasonable.

While the crowd was pondering, a letter arrived.

"Your letter, my lord." As he spoke, he handed it to Murong.

The letter said:

I met the general that day, but I didn't have time to talk about it. Tomorrow night, adults will be invited to drink together, and I hope that adults will enjoy the light.

Murong didn't see the signature after seeing it, so he asked, "Who sent it?" ”

"I don't know, but the messenger wants me to tell the adults a word, and the adults will know."

"What?"

"Dream of returning to Yangzhou!"

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems that Lord Murong left something there when he was performing his official duties!" ”

"What's that?"

"Be merciful!" The crowd teased.

"This is not a letter, it's a heart!"

Murong ignored it and did not show it here when he returned to the mansion.

The night was peaceful, and the next night, Murong was invited to Yangzhou Meng.

I saw the red light painting outside, and the colorful pillar phoenix gate. They are all merry people, and they are all pretty women.

Yangzhou dreams of two capitals and thirteen provinces, how many literati talents, romantic paste. It's just because there's a beautiful woman here. This woman is good at lyrics and music, and she is actually a Yaotai fairy who has fallen into the world.

His talent can be compared to Xue Tao of Tang; Its appearance can be compared to the green pearl of Jin. Its sex is more similar to Han Liang's. Thousands of gold are easy to get, but beautiful women are hard to find. Li Yannian of the Western Han Dynasty once said:

A look at the city,

Then look at the country.

Rather than know the city and the country,

Beautiful women are hard to come by.

Red Aya has always been arrogant, and it is difficult to see even a daughter. No matter the dignitaries, no matter the princes and relatives, only the red silk agrees, otherwise it is difficult to see the beauty.

Murong was just about to enter the door, when a graceful woman walked straight over: "Presumably, the son is the person invited by the red silk girl!" Come with me! ”

Murong was sent to an inner hall, and suddenly felt that the house was fragrant and hit his mouth and nose. Murong breathed slowly, and looked at the hall with several screens and a few incense burners on the table. The screen is full of beautiful paintings of men and women performing the Zhou Gong ceremony.

Murong was suddenly shocked: "It's not good, there is something wrong with this incense burner!" Immediately held his breath.

Suddenly, behind the screen, a woman's figure slowly walked out from behind. Several women with their shoulders and backs were coquettish in front of Murong, flirting with a bewitching posture, Murong calmed down and was unmoved.

A little, a "retreat" came from the hall.

Removing the screen and opening the curtain, a Tingting woman walked slowly: "The general is really like the wind of Liuxia Hui, no, it is a hundred times better than Liuxia Hui!" ”

Murong looked at the red silk and bowed his head and said: "The ancients were noble and clean, and they were far from the bottom!" ”

Red Aya is wearing a scarlet long skirt with a flower brocade on her shoulders. , well-dressed, peerless, really like a mortal Xuannu, peerless Yao Xian.

"The general is too modest! Have a seat! Hong Aya sat at the table and poured a full glass of wine for Murong, "The incense burned by this incense burner is the usual incense used by the guests here, which can make men fascinated, and the spices on these women are even more addictive." It shows that the general's determination is very human! Therefore, it is true that the general is better than Yanagi Hui a hundred times. ”

Murong didn't look at Hong Aya either, and said, "The girl is falsely praised, and I really don't dare to be in the bottom." ”

Imagine that Murong has always been cold and arrogant, and his personality is withdrawn and cold. Now she is so courteous to a dusty woman, but Hong Aya didn't expect it, Murong didn't know why she was like this, the two didn't say anything, Hong Aya kept looking at Murong directly, and when Murong's eyes swept over, the two looked at each other, and Murong's usual fierce gaze instantly softened a lot.

He was silent for a long time, looking at each other. Only then did Murong say: "I offended the girl that day, and I am here to make amends!" If there is nothing else to do but to tempt the following, then take your leave! ”

Murong got up and left......

Exactly: the red face is heart-to-heart, and Murong is emotional. The Yang Mansion investigates the case and then makes a mystery.
