The original way came is no longer possible to return due to the bloody case.

Lu Wuming took the little masters to find another way and detoured back to Xiao's Mansion.

Old General Xiao took Nie Chen out of the house, it should be something in the army.

At this hour, Mengfang is already on his way to a remote county.

As soon as Su Qingtian stepped into the front yard, she yawned again and again, coaxed Xiao Nan to leave, and took Xiao Jiu back to her small courtyard.

She climbed into bed and didn't take off her shoes and socks, and fell asleep with a tiger head pillow.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and the lotus lifted the water-green spring tent, and happened to see Xiao Jiu lightly taking off Su Qingtian's shoes and covering the quilt.

"Little Miss is asleep?"

Lotus asked in a low voice, with a hint of anxiety in her tone.

"Just slept."

Tuck the corners of the quilt, Xiao Jiu slowly lowered the veil.

Xiao Jiu said softly: "Sister Lotus, is there anything urgent to find the master?" ”

"Fengcheng County ordered Lord Liu to come."

Lotus looked at the little master who was sleeping sweetly, her face was embarrassed, but her voice was unconsciously softened a lot.

"When he entered the house, he said that he was looking for Miss Xiao, but he didn't say anything specific."

How can there be a county order to go to someone else's house to see Miss directly, not to mention that she is still a little baby in her drooping year.

Xiao Jiu reacted immediately.

Liu Xianling came to find the little master, it must have been for the mysterious death of the fortune teller.

They did go to the fortune-telling booth, and many people around saw it.

It's just that I didn't expect that this Liu County Commander would solve the case so quickly, and he would find Xiao Mansion for questioning so quickly.

"The master is tired, let her sleep more."

Xiao Jiu walked to the door with the lotus flower and said in a low voice, "I'll go see Lord Liu first." ”

The lotus flower paused and looked at the boy in surprise.

This guard, who has been in office for less than a day, is still a teenager, how can he replace his master to meet guests?

But now......

Turning his head to look at the sweet Su Qingtian sleeping in the back room, now the masters are not there, and there is indeed no one to receive Liu County's order.

You can't let the lord of the dignified order wait in the front hall for the little master to sleep and see him again.

"Well, you can't talk nonsense."

After thinking for a while, Lotus still took Xiao Jiu to the front hall.

Liu Zifeng, who came to the Xiao Mansion in a hurry, was so anxious that he couldn't sit down even if he was in the front hall, and the tea on the table was even more useless.

kept wandering in front of the hall door, thinking that after seeing the little girl for a while, he hurriedly asked for an understanding.

A human head landed in the bustling bazaar.

The corpse was in front of the guests on the side, and blood was scattered vividly on the ground.

In order to cause such a homicide, the perpetrator must have extremely fast knife skills and strong force.

At the same time, it must be no more than a foot away from the victim, otherwise the head will never be able to fly up and fall down so neatly.

The officials questioned many people at the scene, but none of them saw anyone approaching the deceased.

And in the end, a scholar who went to tell fortunes was already frightened and confused, and some were crazy and babbling nonsense.

Nie Zhutou led people to search around.

There were no suspicious clues at the scene of the crime, let alone information about the person who might have committed the crime.

The fortune teller was a lonely widow, and although he had been setting up a stall here in recent years, he had not been too acquainted with anyone, and the officials had not even found out his residence until now.

This is a stump for Liu County.

In the end, the old melon seller came back to his senses, remembering that a little girl had taken the initiative to calculate a hexagram for the deceased with a tael of silver.

At the end of the day, the hands of others are killed.

It can be said that it is exactly the same as the facts of the case.

Such a strange murder case, suddenly there is a little girl like a fortune teller.

The first thing that flashed in Liu Zifeng's mind was the strange and treacherous little lady of the Xiao family, who immediately rushed to the Xiao Mansion non-stop.

Looking at the window, the figure of the lotus coming quickly, Liu Zifeng hurriedly sorted out his clothes and official hat.

Looking up, the county magistrate couldn't help but be stunned.

Behind the lotus flower was not the little girl he expected, but a young man with a face.

"Lord Liu, my little master has just fallen asleep." Xiao Jiu clasped his fists and saluted, "If you want to ask about the murder that happened in Dongfang City today, the grass people can answer one or two." ”

"You are?"

Looking at Xiao Jiu, who was dressed in a short suit, Liu Zifeng couldn't tell what his identity was for a while.

"Back to my lord, the grass people are the personal guards of the little lady, and they are called Xiao Jiu."

Since the person was brought by the lotus, Liu Zifeng would not have any doubts.

Moreover, he also knew that although this little lady in Xiao Mansion was quite capable, she was too young after all, and once she fell asleep, it was indeed not easy to get up again.

"The official asked you, has your master ever been in contact with the deceased?"

The incident was sudden and very bloody, and now the people of Dongfang City are panicking.

Liu Zifeng knew that this matter must be resolved quickly, and if it was delayed for one more day, Dongfang City and Fengcheng would fall into more crises.

He was looking forward to the little girl in the melon farmer's mouth being the one from Xiao Mansion, otherwise it would be difficult to find it in the vast sea of people.

"Yes."

Xiao Jiu's answer made Liu Zifeng's heart fall back halfway.

"The master gave the man a tael of silver and asked him how long he lived."

"The man calculated a hexagram for himself, and said that he would live eight times out of eighty."

"The little master didn't believe it, so he personally calculated a hexagram for him, and he was destined to die today."

The little guard who was born in the face and the melon farmer said basically the same, Liu Zifeng originally thought that the case of finding the little girl was clear, but now he suddenly showed a sad face.

The cause of the deceased's death and the clues of the murderer are still clueless, and I am afraid that only Su Qingtian knows the deeper facts of the case.

A clattering sound came from outside the door, and Liu Zifeng turned around to see Xiao Yichen coming to the door.

"Lord Liu, I don't know what happened to me today?"

Xiao Yichen had just finished his family affairs, and the little girl came to report that Liu County Ling came to the house not to find himself, but to find the little lady.

Feeling that something was wrong, he immediately rushed to see what was going on.

"Little boy."

Liu County Ling didn't hide it, and said directly, "For the sake of a murder in Dongfang City this morning, I came to visit Miss Su." ”

Xiao Yichen was shocked, how could this be so familiar?

There was another murder in Dongfang City, why did it have anything to do with Xiaoqingtian again?

"Where's Xiao Qingtian?"

Xiao Yichen looked at Xiao Jiu who was standing on the side and asked.

"The little master just fell asleep."

"In that case, Lord Liu should come back another day."

Although he didn't know what the situation was in today's case, Xiao Yichen knew that he was here to ask for someone and not to lock people up.

Wang Liu's case touched the Xiao family a little bit, so he naturally cooperated with the investigation.

But now it's about Xiao Qingtian, he can't let the little girl get involved in these bloody and dirty things.

"Little boy, let's let the official have a cup of tea."

Liu Zifeng knew that Xiao Yichen was nervous about his little baby, so he couldn't help but soften his tone.

"From the time the case occurred to the present, there is no clue, and the official is not in a hurry, it is better to wait for the little girl."

"In the past, I couldn't be empty, how about a game of chess between the official and the little boy today?"

Xiao Yichen saw that Liu Zifeng softened and said everything, and insisted on waiting for Su Qingtian to wake up, and it was not good for him to open his mouth to drive away guests.

After all, the other party is the order of a county, and he is just a civilian.
