The smell of blood in the courtyard was strong, Leng Xinghe blocked Gu Rongrong behind him with one hand, and drew his sword with the other.

The lights were still on in the main room, the lights were bright, and there were still two bowls of sugar water on the table, steaming slightly, and a pair of human legs were exposed behind the table, twitching slightly.

After going around to the table, Gu Rongrong saw at a glance that the young man lying on the ground, his hands covering the bloody wound on his neck, was the one who stopped their carriage.

"It's him," Gu Rongrong whispered, "You go look for it, I'll come and see him." ”

Seeing that he was not dangerous, Leng Xinghe nodded, and quickly searched around with his sword to see if the murderer had not had time to leave.

Gu Rongrong squatted beside the young man, and released the power of repair in her palm.

Salvation is not life, but death can be delayed.

"Who killed you?" She asked in a low voice.

The last bit of light flashed in the young man's eyes, his lips twitched, and Gu Rongrong leaned over.

Leng Xinghe didn't find the murderer anywhere, Gu Rongrong got up and said, "He's dead." ”

Picking up a small spoon on the table and looking at the two bowls of food and water, Gu Rongrong thought thoughtfully: "This should be what the little second brother said, the deceased also wants a sugar water tonight." ”

"It's used to entertain guests," Leng Xinghe returned his sword to the sheath, "This guest should be the murderer." ”

Gu Rongrong looked at the small spoon in the light, the high-grade porcelain, delicate and thin, this Rong Gongzi's life is really exquisite, even a small spoon is of the highest quality.

"He should have been killed defenseless, I see that he also has a thin callus on his hand, and the place where the callus is where he holds the sword, which is considered half a practitioner," Leng Xinghe's gaze swept over the shelf on the table in the back room, "The sword is gone." ”

Gu Rongrong walked into the house, and the faint fragrance in the room was the same as that of the young man.

Sure enough, as Leng Xinghe said, the shelf on the table was a refined sandalwood sword stand, which was originally supposed to hold a sword, but now it was empty.

"It's not just the sword shelf, it's more than a treasure grid, several things are missing," Gu Rongrong picked up the remaining celadon bottle, "This bottle is also quite beautiful." ”

"It's not just beautiful, it's worth a lot of money," Leng Xinghe said, "Say a thousand taels less." ”

Gu Rongrong raised her eyebrows slightly: "That's interesting, if someone came to steal something, why didn't they steal it?" Could it be that a thousand taels of things are not in sight? ”

Leng Xinghe's eyes swept away the rest of the things: "What is this person doing?" It's worth so much. ”

There is also a cloak hanging on the hanger against the wall, the fabric of the moonlight brocade, the dark pattern embroidery is looming, the fur collar is fluffy and snow-white, and it is also a high-quality snow fox.

This cloak is also worth a lot of money.

Gu Rongrong stood in front of the cloak for a moment, then turned back to Leng Xinghe and said, "I want to take this dress away." ”

"Perhaps, it might help."

Leng Xinghe nodded: "Okay, what about anything else, is there anything else you want to take?" I'll take it for you. ”

Gu Rongrong: "......"

"No, that's it."

The two were just about to return the same way, when they suddenly heard a noise in the alley outside the courtyard gate, and the light of torches, and they seemed to be coming this way noisily.

"It's not good, let's go," Leng Xinghe pulled Gu Rongrong in the direction of the door, and jumped directly onto the slope.

As soon as it landed on the roof, the courtyard door was pushed open, and several people walked in noisily.

"Is this it? That's right! ”

"Where is the murder?"

"Is there anyone?"

Leng Xinghe and Gu Rongrong glanced at each other, and instantly understood that someone had reported the case anonymously, and the people below were all officials.

If they were blocked just now, it would be unreasonable.

Fortunately.

Leng Xinghe and Gu Rongrong were about to turn around, when a gust of wind came from behind them.

"Huh!"

Leng Xinghe didn't turn back, he directly hugged Gu Rongrong and turned it hard, that kind of thing is not a secret weapon, it is just a stone.

But when he turned around, there was a sound, and the stones struck the roof tiles, and the tiles immediately shattered, and some fell to the ground.

"Whoa!" The sound immediately attracted the officials below.

"There's someone up there!"

Gu Rongrong scolded secretly, grabbed a smoke pill and threw it down.

"Let's go!"

Taking advantage of the chaos below, Leng Xinghe took Gu Rongrong to leave quickly.

Away from here, the two went to a dark alley, looked at each other silently, and saw each other's solemn expressions.

"Let's go, let's go back first."

Back at the Protector's Mansion, Leng Susu and Leng Miaomiao were sitting in front of the dresser, and the other was sitting in front of the window, looking at each other unpleasantly.

When he saw them returning, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

"But what's going on?" Leng Xinghe asked.

"Hui Shizi, no."

As soon as the words fell, I suddenly heard someone outside shouting: "Arrest the assassin!" ”

Gu Rongrong immediately turned her head to look outside, and Leng Xinghe ordered: "Quick, you go first, be careful." ”

Leng Susu and Leng Xiuxiu left quickly, and Leng Xinghe took Gu Rongrong out of the courtyard as well.

I saw a patrol carrying torches and chasing forward, and another team not far ahead also heard the noise, and the two teams were about to surround it.

Gu Rongrong couldn't take her eyes off it, staring at the black shadow, running fast, as if she was very familiar with the terrain in the mansion, could it be ......

But she also soon discovered that this person was of medium stature, much shorter than the person who tried to stun her that night, and it should not be the same person.

At this moment, He Zhanyue arrived and shouted coldly: "What happened? ”

The two patrolling soldiers hurriedly stopped to salute.

"My lord, there was an exclamation from Mrs. Fang's courtyard, and his subordinates went to check, and found that a black shadow ran out and was about to be arrested."

He Zhanyue looked up and saw Leng Xinghe and Gu Rongrong, waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and find it, be sure to find the person." ”

"Yes."

He Zhanyue strode over to this side and arched his hand: "Shizi, I'm sorry to disturb you." ”

Leng Xinghe pursed his lips lightly and was silent for a moment: "Brother He's house is a little unpeaceful. ”

He Zhanyue sighed: "To make you laugh, there was a disaster on the Hucheng side, many people were displaced, many people fled, and they came to Sucheng, and when there were many refugees, all kinds of things would inevitably come together, and the situation was frequent." ”

"Lake City has been plagued? When was this? Leng Xinghe asked, "Although Hucheng is not a land of fish and rice, it is also a big grain-producing city, and if it reaches the point of letting the people flee and leave their hometowns, it can be said to be a catastrophe." ”

"Just over a month ago, I just received the news that the history of the Lake City Assassin was not reported, and the imperial court and the surrounding cities didn't know, if it weren't for the Lake City Protector and I had a little friendship, and wrote to me, I wouldn't know."

He Zhanyue sighed: "The people are suffering, I'm afraid Sucheng will also face a severe test." ”

Gu Rongrong opened her mouth and said: "Lord He, why don't you talk about national affairs first, worry about the people and the country, I'll go and see Mrs. Yiyi, she is a weak woman, frightened, I'm afraid she needs someone to appease her at this time." ”

He Zhanyue pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and said, "It's my negligence, I should go and see Mrs. first, my brain was dull when I read the newspaper just now." ”

Gu Rongrong's face was worried: "Let's go together!" ”
