Xu Wei led the black-backed and blue-haired hound Qingqing and Yuan Qiuning hurriedly walked through the still chaotic Yongtongfang.

During this period, there were a few young people who had just lost from the gambling house and were full of anger, seeing Yuan Qiuning's delicate figure and unearthly appearance, they wanted to pull her into the side alley to make love.

Xu Wei wanted to stop it, but Yuan Qiuning gently pushed Xu Wei to tell him not to do it first, and then raised his hand indifferently, as if to let the three young people pull her away.

In fact, every inch of the white skin on Yuan Qiuning's indifferent and disdainful face was reluctant, but anyone who was a little self-aware would be moved by some compassion when they saw this.

However, at this moment, Xu Wei and Yuan Qiuning saw these three nondescript young people in front of them, who had just lost all their money at the gambling table, and were severely humiliated, and they needed to find a place to vent all the grievances in their hearts.

To them, Yuan Qiuning, who seems to be ignorant of the world and rejects people thousands of miles away like a fairy, is the best choice for them to find their sense of accomplishment in their hearts. Before the three young men who failed to satisfy their gambling addiction took Yuan Qiuning's hand, they were already fantasizing in their hearts about how this high-flying woman would be tossed and tamed by them for a while...

However, at the moment when the two of them hurriedly touched Yuan Qiuning's slender jade hand, a tingling sensation suddenly penetrated their skin.

It was a comfortable feeling that could relax them all at once, but the comfortable feeling disappeared in an instant after passing through their bodies, and with it, they couldn't stand on their feet.

The two young men wailed almost at the same time, and they only felt dizzy, numb in their hands and feet, and their bodies wriggling unconsciously on the ground.

Among the three gambling youths, the one who hadn't had time to touch Yuan Qiuning saw the brothers fall to the ground in pain, shouting "stinky bitch" and was about to raise his hand to hit Yuan Qiuning, but he was defenseless by Xu Wei next to him who broke three fingers in an instant, and curled up on the ground with his other two brothers and howled.

The shouting of the three of them was so loud that it drew out the opponents at the table just now.

There is no doubt that the next three incompetent young people who are unlucky enough to encounter Xu Wei and Yuan Qiuning will once again be subjected to the indifferent and merciless ridicule of others.

"You're so heavy, Xu Wei." After walking out of the messy Yongtongfang, Yuan Qiuning's steps were much lighter, and even others could see that she was in a better mood, "Your trigger, if there is no good Langzhong treatment, then the scoundrel will not even be able to hold chopsticks in this life." ”

Xu Wei was not as relaxed as Yuan Qiuning, his expression was a little worried, he stopped and gently grabbed Yuan Qiuning's wrist and lifted it gently, feeling the soreness and numbness that was also transmitted from his hands to his whole body, "You have taken poison again recently?" ”

"Hehe, once someone wanted to poison Master Xie and let me taste it, and the other time I made a new poison and wanted to try it." Yuan Qiuning looked at Xu Wei's worried look and pursed his lips and smiled: "Don't worry about me, don't you know me?" There is no poison that I can't digest, and I'm safe with more poison on my body. ”

Yuan Qiuning has a family heirloom anti-poison ability, she is born with the ability to absorb a lot of poisons and emit them through the skin, usually only slightly emitted. But once Yuan Qiuning's mood fluctuated violently, the undissipated poison accumulated on her body would quickly spread, and in that case, anyone who approached her, even if they didn't touch her, would be invaded by the diffuse poison.

"Don't hold my wrist, it's definitely getting more and more toxic..."Yuan Qiuning blushed and wanted to retract his arm.

"I'm not afraid of your poison." Xu Wei, who has been trained by Yuan Qiuning since he was a child, is naturally not bothered by these relatively trace amounts of toxins, "It's just that this poison is not a good thing after all, no matter how strong the poison can be resisted and detoxified, will some of the poison remain in the body?" ”

"I haven't seen you for a few years, but you know a lot." Yuan Qiuning stretched out his slender fingers with distinct knuckles and touched Xu Wei's face and said, "But sister, my anti-poison ability is much stronger than you imagined, and the remaining poisons in my internal organs are even a tonic for me to fight poison with poison." ”

Xu Wei looked at Yuan Qiuning's cold face close to him, and her sweet pink lips also made Xu Wei have to blush and turn his head away, "It's not too early, we have to go to Huairenfang quickly, otherwise the Ma Kuai officials in this stone city may have to take away the body of the man with the big belly mask." ”

Xu Wei is actually right, more than half an hour has passed since he left Huairenfang, and at the current speed, it may be half an hour less than half an hour before he can return to Huairenfang.

If it had been a different course of time, an hour would have been enough time for the city to get to the place where the murder occurred and complete the blockade of the entire street.

Once the murder scene and the body of the big-bellied masked man are controlled by the officials, it will be difficult for Xu Wei and Yuan Qiuning to find clues from the corpse of the big-bellied masked man.

Fortunately, tonight is not an ordinary night, although Stone Town belongs to Jiankang County, but because the Jiangzhou Prefecture Capital is set up in Stone City, all the horses in the city are directly deployed by Jiangzhou Thorn Shi Yu Dajiang, and now these horses are searching for the masked man from house to house according to the order of the state government, and they have no time to care about a corpse.

This also just gave Xu Wei and Yuan Qiuning the opportunity to collect clues, and the two of them almost said a word on the rest of the way to Huairenfang, Xu Wei was worried that Yuan Qiuning would be wronged in the Xie Mansion, and Yuan Qiuning had been terrified of Xu Wei's battlefield danger.

When Xu Wei was smearing the wound medicine given by Yuan Qiuning while leading the black-backed and blue-haired hound to Huairenfang, there were still people on the street where he had fought with the big-bellied masked man before to collect the corpses and cry the souls of the people killed by the whirlwind kitchen knife......

In fact, the death of those people and Xu Wei can't be said to have nothing to do with it, after all, the big-bellied masked man killed people indiscriminately in order to force Xu Wei to throw away the weapon in his hand to save people.

Xu Wei firmly stopped listening to the miserable cries around him, and now he can only find out the group of masked people who killed people in the Golden Jubilee Building and the streets and alleys, so that he can truly comfort the souls of those people who were killed for no reason today, especially the two loyal and brave lieutenants of Sima Yuji.

Xu Wei picked up the dagger that had been thrown on the ground before, and first gently flipped the clothes and belongings of the big-bellied killer. In addition to flints, scattered money and other daily necessities, there is also a small bag of special food, which contains some small yellow-black oval fruits.

Xu Wei took out those small fruits and put them in the palm of his hand to take a look, and Yuan Qiuning, who tied the hound Qingqing to the trunk of the tree on the side, slowly came to Xu Wei, who was studying seriously, and gently leaned on him and squatted down.

"Huh? Isn't this betel fruit? Yuan Qiuning looked at the oval eating esophagus in Xu Wei's hand.

"Betel fruit? What's that? Xu Wei put the fruit in his hand and pinched it, and then planned to put it in his mouth to taste it.

"Huh, wait a minute." Yuan Qiuning stretched out ten fingers to stop Xu Wei's hand that wanted to put the betel fruit in his mouth, and his body was also unbalanced and fell into Xu Wei's arms because he was in a hurry.

Yuan Qiuning, who was leaning on Xu Wei's body, looked up at the warm chin and said urgently: "This betel fruit is a medicine rather than food, it tastes bad if you eat less, but if you eat too much, you will be addicted and hurt your tongue hard, there is really no need to try." ”

"Oh." Xu Wei didn't have any doubts about Yuan Qiuning's words, and he put the betel fruit back into the small bag very obediently.

After seeing the bag of betel nuts, Yuan Qiuning got up as if he remembered something, walked to the face of the big-bellied killer, gently opened his mouth, and found that this person's tongue and gums had been eroded and damaged by betel nuts, which was obviously the sequelae of taking betel nuts for a long time.

Thinking of this, Yuan Qiuning went to rummage through the clothes of the big-bellied killer after a few pinchings, she stroked her long black sideburns, looked up at Xu Wei's faint and handsome eyebrows and said: "This person should be from Lingnan, Jiaozhi and other Baiyue places, his clothing materials are not the same as those in the Central Plains, and this person takes betel fruit all year round, this fruit can only flourish and grow in the land of Baiyue, and it has always been priceless in the Central Plains, and it is not enough for people to eat so damaged mouth." ”

"And..."Yuan Qiuning fanned the tip of his nose with some disgust and said: "This person has a foul smell in his mouth, and his teeth are black and yellow, and he must have eaten a lot recently, and I am afraid he has not left the land of Baiyue for too long." ”

Xu Wei nodded and used a dagger to cut open the clothes on the big-bellied killer, and found that there were very obvious scars on his neck and wrists with wooden shackles and chains, which were obviously caused by wearing heavy wooden shackles and shackles for a long time.

"Judging by this not-so-old scar, this person must have been captured and even exiled in the past." Xu Wei carefully inspected the arms and back of the big-bellied masked man, and found that in addition to the weapon scars, there were also many neat and sharp whipping wounds, "Since he has the habit of taking a large amount of betel fruit all year round, and he is a shackle prisoner who has been a coolie and is often whipped and whipped, then this person is likely to be a felony who was exiled to the land of Baiyue to do hard labor." ”

Yuan Qiuning stood up and nodded, "Then in that case, maybe the other people are also exile prisoners who escaped from the land of Baiyue, if they can probe a few more corpses, they may be able to be sure." ”

"At that time, there should have been more than a dozen cloth-clad masked people killed in the Golden Jubilee Building, and if they all had shackles and whip marks on their bodies, then this group of people would undoubtedly be exiles." Xu Wei put away the dagger and put it on his waist, and picked up the sickle on the side, he looked at the small box on the ground that had been broken before, and suddenly remembered that there were two cloth-clothed mask people who followed the big-bellied masked man before had persuaded the big-bellied masked man to leave quickly, and these two people were probably still in Stone City.

At present, as long as it can be determined that the masked people in the Golden Jubilee Building also have whip marks, shackle scars, and even mouth and tongue injuries caused by taking betel fruit for many years, then the scope can be greatly narrowed down to search for those cloth-clad masked people lurking in the city.

Thinking of this, Xu Wei hurriedly said to Yuan Qiuning: "Without further ado, let's hurry up and go to the Golden Jubilee Building to check again." ”

Yuan Qiuning put away the small bag of betel nuts and put it in the medicine bag, and then trotted to a house with a light on on the street, took out a piece of gold and bought an old cloth fir and a broken taper and gave it to the stunned Xu Wei.

"Before that, you first change your tattered clothes that have been soaked in rain and blood, I can't care about it on weekdays, and today I'm by your side, so don't even think about staying with any injuries." Yuan Qiuning was reluctant to take one more step in Xie Mansion except for the time spent making medicine, if Xie Bai'an saw this scene, he was afraid that he would be so angry that he would blow his beard and stare again.

However, Yuan Qiuning had no choice but to obediently put on his clothes crookedly Xu Wei, while leading the hound, Yuan Qiuning intimately held his arm, and continued to walk briskly towards the Golden Jubilee Building while holding the hound.
