In the previous interrogation, the straw groom didn't say a word, but his expression was a little relaxed when he saw Huo Yijun.

He got up and moved, stepped forward and climbed to Huo Yijun's feet, as if he saw a savior.

"My name is Zheng Heng."

Zheng Heng faced the stern Huo Yijun, and looked at Huo Yijun again, the surrounding environment was dark and humid, and there was a disgusting stench in the air. His eyes looked nervously at Huo Yijun through the iron bars of the cell, and sweat slipped down his forehead.

Huo Yijun had a serious face, staring at Zheng Heng like a torch.

She asked in a deep voice, "Who do you say you were hired to play the straw groom?" Is it true? ”

Zheng Heng shook his head in a panic and said, "My lord, I am true to everything. I'm just an ordinary villager, hired to play the role of a straw groom, and I don't know what's going on. ”

Huo Yijun frowned and said, "You said that you were hired, do you know who hired you?" ”

Zheng Heng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know, the employer didn't tell me his name, he just gave me a sum of money to go to the temple to play the straw groom." I don't know what that means, I just want to make a little money. ”

Huo Yijun looked at him deeply and said, "Do you know the crime of pretending to be a murderous straw groom?" This is a violation of the king's law, you didn't ask before taking the job, who is this straw groom? ”

"He's mutilated eight brides." Jiang Xie added in a deep voice.

Zheng Heng's face turned pale and said, "I understand, I am willing to cooperate with the adults to find out about this matter." I'm just an innocent villager, being taken advantage of. ”

Huo Yijun nodded slightly, and said: "This matter is still under investigation, and since you have confessed, I hope you can cooperate with us to investigate this matter." During this time, you will be temporarily held here. ”

Zheng Heng nodded hurriedly and said, "I will cooperate with you." It's just that I hope you can find the real culprit and clear my name. ”

Huo Yijun glanced at him, then turned and left the cell, leaving a silence. Zheng Heng sat alone in the cell, the panic and uneasiness in his heart were surging like waves, he held his hands tightly, and he didn't know when he would be able to get out of this predicament.

In the deep night, Huo Yijun and Jiang Xie walked side by side on the empty street, and their footsteps echoed hollowly in the silent night.

The clothes of the two of them stood out in the moonlight, and Jiang Xie's blackness blended into the surrounding darkness.

Both were with a touch of melancholy and a heavy heart.

"Sheng Lin, do you think what Zheng Heng said is true?" Jiang Xie's inquiry drifted in the cold night sky.

Huo Yijun turned his head and glanced at him: "You don't believe his words?" ”

"Do you believe Zheng Heng?" Jiang Xie asked, his eyes heavy and misty, half hidden in the darkness.

"I don't know, it's too complicated for me to judge." Huo Yijun's voice was low, with a deep tiredness, "But what I can be sure of is that he didn't lie, as for knowing who is behind the scenes, I don't know." ”

Then they fell silent, only in this silence their doubts and melancholy seemed to grow stronger.

Suddenly, a sharp fighting sound broke the silence of the night, and the two looked up at the same time, only to see two black figures entangled on the roof. Their movements are vigorous, like two eagles flying in the air, one static and one moving, one attacking and one defending.

"Looks like we're having a good time." Jiang Xie looked at the roof intently, with a hint of playfulness in his tone.

Huo Yijun just watched, didn't speak, and looked at the roof together.

The moonlight in the middle of the night was shining on the rooftops, the wind was blowing, and the tension was already in the air.

Two black figures jumped on the roof, each punch, every kick, accompanied by the sound of tiles shattering. The two men were skilled in martial arts, and each time they clashed, the air fluctuated, as if they were about to tear everything around them apart.

Huo Yijun and Jiang Xie hid in a corner of the roof, watching the fight intently. Their faces were full of surprise and nervousness, but their weapons were clenched in their hands, ready to fight at any moment.

"Who are these people?" Huo Yijun asked in a low voice.

"I don't know," Jiang Xie replied, "but they don't look like ordinary people."

Suddenly, the man in black emerged from the shadows like a ghost, blocking the way of the two. Their figures flickered, as if they were one with the night.

Only the cold breath and the cold sword light made people feel their existence.

Huo Yijun and Jiang Xie were immediately on alert, their eyes met, and then they met the men in black.

"It turns out that we have been fighting for so long to lure us over."

Huo Yijun sneered: "It's really painstaking. ”

However, more men in black emerge from the darkness, besieging the two like wolves, trying to tear them apart.

At this life-and-death moment, Huo Yijun suddenly shouted loudly: "Who are you!" ”

Jiang Xie clenched his long sword and replied with a burning gaze: "The most important thing at the moment is to get rid of their siege, and survival is the only way out." ”

The two fought more bravely against the men in black, their figures looked more slender in the moonlight, and this battle also caused more men in black to emerge in the night, and their targets were only one, that is, Huo Yijun and Jiang Xie.

However, at this most critical moment, a sharp sword light streaked across the night sky, and the leader of the men in black fell in response.

The original formation of the man in black was instantly flawed, and Huo Yijun and Jiang Xie saw the opportunity and joined forces to attack the weakest part of the man in black. Their sword moves rained down like a storm, and the men in black fell one after another, forcing them to retreat.

Seeing the dawn of victory, Huo Yijun and Jiang Xie used the moonlight to guide the direction and work together to fight a bloody road.

Eventually, they managed to escape the siege of the men in black and fled to the alleys of another street.

After making sure that it was safe, Huo Yijun and Jiang Xie finally stopped, they looked at each other and smiled, although they were tired, their eyes flashed with determination.

"Judging from what we fought just now, the martial arts of these people are not very high, a bit like the tricks of the gang we met before." Jiang Xie analyzed.

Huo Yijun pondered: "Do you suspect that the Huo family sent someone to attack us?"

"It's not like they haven't done it." Jiang Xie smiled lightly.

The two leaned against the wall, and a brief moment of calm descended.

Huo Yijun whispered to himself: "Why did they put us to death? Could it have something to do with the scarecrow case? ”

And Jiang Xie was silent, staring at the alley under the moonlight, his eyes were full of determination and determination.

However, just as they were resting for a moment, a dark shadow passed by.

Huo Yijun was immediately shocked, he held Jiang Xie's hand tightly, and whispered, "Be vigilant, someone is coming." ”
