The night was dark, and the moonlight was obscured by thick clouds.

In the quiet long alley of West Street, the sound of knife tips colliding is loud in your ears.

Lu Tong pulled the silver kite and retreated to the door of the medical hall, and the two figures outside the door were constantly fighting. The sneak attacker hiding in the doorway was obviously no match for the other person, but after a few rounds of fighting, he was defeated and was kicked in the center by the opponent, and the long sword was crossed by the neck.

The man in the guard uniform turned his head, revealing a slightly serious face, and asked Lu Tong, "Miss Lu, are you hurt?" ”

Lu Tong shook his head.

Yin Zheng hadn't come out of the panic of being attacked by someone, and at first glance he heard the man call Lu Tong "Miss Lu", and looked at the other party in amazement: "Girl. Do you know this man? ”

Lu Tong glanced at the murderer who was subdued on the ground and said, "Come in and talk." ”

The door of the medical hall was closed, and the man in black was dragged to the small courtyard by the man.

Yinzheng was full of suspicion, and was about to speak, when he saw Lu Tong take out a vial from his sleeve, walked in front of the other party, bent down and pinched the other party's chin, and poured all the contents of the bottle into it.

This action made the guard man stunned, and Yinzheng was also stunned.

At the end, Lu Tong withdrew his hand and casually threw the empty bottle into the bamboo basket in the courtyard.

Yin Zheng swallowed his saliva, looked at the people on the ground, and asked Lu Tong in a low voice: "Girl, is this to kill him?" ”

When the guard on his side heard this, he glanced at Yinzheng in shock.

Lu Tong said: "It's just a little soft, I'm afraid that he will kill himself." ”

Yin Zheng nodded, and when he raised his eyes to see the strange gaze of the guard man, he realized that he was speechless, and hurriedly added: "I was joking just now, we are treating patients and saving people in the hospital, how can we kill people...... But what's going on here? ”

Lu Tong looked down.

In the dark courtyard, the perpetrator was also dressed in black, almost blending in with the night, a strange face, staring at Lu Tong's eyes with a fierce light, at first glance he was a vicious man.

The knife he used to attack Lu Tong fell to the ground, Lu Tong walked over, picked up the knife, stretched out his fingers and slowly stroked the back of the knife, and his tone was calm.

"He's here to kill me."

"Breaking into people's houses and trying to commit murder...... At the feet of the Son of Heaven in Shengjing, there are such thieves and fanatics," she thought for a moment, her eyes lit up, "Ah, the murderer of the corpse in Wangchun Mountain has not been found until now, maybe he did it." ”

The guard next to him stopped talking.

But the man in black sneered: "Don't talk nonsense, if you want to kill, you have to give a good time!" ”

Lu Tong shook his head slightly, "We can't do it in the medical hall for private torture." Those who are in danger must of course be handed over to the government. ”

She put the knife away: "Report to the official, Yinzheng." ”

……

The courtyard of the county king's mansion was quiet.

The children's washing party has ended, the guests have dispersed, and the desertion after the feast is even more gloomy than usual. Pei Yunshu sat in the house, folded the small quilt for Baozhu, and was about to let the nurse take the little girl to sleep, when she saw Fangzi open the door curtain and said softly: "Madam, the son has arrived." ”

Pei Yunshu looked up, and Pei Yunhui walked in behind Fangzi.

He should have come back from outside, his robe was full of cold air in the autumn night, put down the knife and walked to Pei Yunshu, and looked in front of Baozhu.

Baozhu shrunk in the nurse's arms and slept sweetly, the little girl who was only full moon, in addition to eating and sleeping, looked at it and made the corners of her lips rise.

Pei Yunyi lowered his voice: "Sleeping?" ”

Pei Yunshu beckoned and motioned for the nurse to bring the jewel into the house. Shicai looked at Pei Yunyi and shook his head: "Why did you come suddenly?" ”

Pei Yunyi sighed, walked to the front of the small table and sat down, and said while pouring tea: "My niece's full moon wine, of course my uncle can't be absent, but it's just that it's delayed on the way." ”

Pei Yunshu looked at the person in front of her, and stopped talking.

Today's washing meeting, Zhaoning Gong Pei Di also came, she didn't know if Pei Yunyi didn't come because of this, he was never impatient to see those people in the Pei family.

Pei Yunyi smiled and asked, "What?" ”

Pei Yunshu skimmed her thoughts in her heart, and pretended to complain: "At today's washing party, many ladies secretly asked me about you. I guess there are few people who really look at the orb, but there are many people who look at you. It's a pity you're not there. That's right......" What did Er think of, Pei Yunshu asked in a low voice: "I heard the king of the county say before, the queen mother intends to marry you, but do you have eyebrows?" ”

Pei Yunyao lowered his head to drink tea, and said with a smile: "Where is the matter of chasing the wind and shadows?" ”

"It's good if the Queen Mother and her old man really have this thought, you are not young now, you should worry about these things."

But he didn't care: "What are you anxious about?" ”

"Of course in a hurry!" Pei Yunshu glanced at him, "I chatted with Dr. Lu today, and I learned that Dr. Lu also has a marriage contract. You're four years older than your parents, and they have a fiancé, what do you have? I don't even have a sweetheart, but the dog in front of your palace is female, and there are already other dogs who covet it! ”

Pei Yunyi laughed and laughed: "How can you compare me with a dog?" ”

"Dogs are more sensible than you!"

Pei Yunyi: "......"

Pei Yunshu looked at the young man in front of her, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.

In fact, she is not really anxious about Pei Yunyao's relatives, Pei Yunyao has excellent looks and a promising future, such a talent, there are countless people who want to kiss. And now the more he is favored, the higher he stands, the more he can't help himself. Now that the Queen Mother has signs of marrying him, I am afraid that if it is delayed for a few more years, she will really have no chance to make her own decisions, just like herself......

She didn't want Pei Yunyi to follow her old path, not to mention, Pei Yunyi now is like an unsheathed knife, too sharp for fear of self-injury, if he has a favorite person, maybe he will leave a little leeway in doing things, or for himself.

Pei Yunshu slowed down her tone, "Ah Yao, you tell my sister, what kind of girl do you like?" The eldest girl in the palace in the imperial history was born with the beauty of the country, and her mother asked me today to inquire about you, I have seen that young lady, like a fairy, it is really deceitful......"

Pei Yunyi pinched his forehead, and his tone was helpless: "There are so many beautiful girls in the world, I can't like them all?" ”

"And what do you like?"

Pei Yunshu looked like she would not give up without asking an answer, Pei Yunshu thought for a while, "Be smart." ”

"Clever?" Pei Yunshu's eyes lit up, "The second lady of Jixian Palace's scholar's mansion is talented, she can compose poetry at the age of five, she is very smart, you see ......"

"I don't like to write poetry."

Seeing his absent-minded appearance, Pei Yunshu was furious: "You came here so late to be angry with me?" ”

"No, it's not." Pei Yunyi said, "I'm here to give gifts, lest Baozhu say I'm stingy." ”

Pei Yunshu looked at him with his empty hands: "What about the ceremony?" ”

Pei Yunyao was about to speak, when the voice of the guard's red arrow sounded outside the door: "Master, someone has been caught." ”

Pei Yunshu was stunned, and looked at him suspiciously.

"Look," Pei Yunyan smiled: "Isn't this coming." ”

……

In front of the military patrol shop at the gate of Shengjingfang Lane, several shop soldiers called the old woman who was carrying the burden at the door, bought a few bowls of spicy lungs and squatted at the door to eat happily.

It is almost early winter, the weather is getting colder and colder day by day, and at night the soldiers are hungry and fast, and the spicy lungs are full of spicy, and a bowl of lower abdomen is steaming hot.

Shen Fengying leaned against the pillar at the door of the shop patrol house, and was putting the last piece of spicy lung in his mouth, when he saw several people walking towards him.

The leader was a man, and the man was holding another man in black, who was tied hand and foot, and was half-dragged and half-escorted by the man, and behind the two was a young girl. The three of them walked through the lively alleys, attracting the attention of countless people along the way. Seeing that the other party was coming to patrol the shop, Shen Fengying hurriedly swallowed the spicy lungs in his mouth, choked on the oil, and coughed all of a sudden.

The soldiers hurriedly went to get him a water bag, and Shen Fengying poured a small half bag in a row, which was easy to stop the bitterness in his throat, and when he looked up, the three people had already walked in front of him.

He didn't know the two men, but the woman who walked behind was a little familiar, Shen Fengying hadn't spoken yet, the woman looked at him first and said, "Lord Shen." ”

As soon as she spoke, Shen Fengying suddenly remembered, and pointed to the person in front of her: "You are the one...... Onions on the mountain! ”

God is pitiful, he still remembers the man in front of him. After Sheng Jinggong's case last month, he received a complaint that a small hospital on West Street had killed people and buried his body. At that time, Shen Fengying was gearing up to do a big job, and since then he has added great achievements to the peak of his life, but who knows that he went to the hospital and searched for most of the night, and only half of the dead pig was found.

Dead pigs, not dead people!

At that time, Shen Fengying's blood was poured into his heart.

This is not counted, I don't know if he is lucky or unlucky, he has not figured out the situation, he turned his head and received another complaint, Wangchun Mountain found a male corpse, the male corpse has the purse of the palace guard.

At that time, Pei Yunyi, the commander of the front division of the palace, was in front of him.

At that time, Shen Fengying felt that his career might stop there.

The palace marshal went to Wangchun Mountain with him, and he didn't know what it meant in the face of such a situation of melon fields and plums, Shen Fengying tried several times but couldn't figure out his intentions, so he had to check hard. Fortunately, a purse alone could not convict the palace guards, and the case was suspended for the time being.

When he returned to the shop, his boss who rushed to hear the news scolded him. Also, there is no benefit from tossing around like this, let alone promotion, offending the front boss of the palace, it is strange that the boss is not angry with him.

It's easy for Shen Fengying to gradually calm down his emotions these days, and when he saw the female doctor at this moment, he was full of grievances and poured out again.

He coughed and walked over to a few people: "What is this for?" ”

"I'm Lu Tong, the doctor of the Renxin Medical Center." The female doctor said: "Someone broke into my hospital tonight, tried to commit murder, was subdued, and it was a matter of human life, so I deliberately brought the perpetrator to the adult." ”

Shen Fengying's heart moved.

The people on the ground were bound by ropes, dressed in night clothes, and they didn't refute when they heard the words, and their eyes were vicious, and they were not a good thing at first glance.

Shen Fengying walked around this person twice, and looked at Lu Tong suspiciously: "Why didn't he move?" ”

This man didn't even struggle, he looked like he was being slaughtered.

"Afraid that this person would kill himself, I fed him a little loose medicine from the medical hall and took it to weaken his limbs so that the adults could interrogate him."

It doesn't sound like a problem, but because of the previous pig's head incident, Shen Feng was always a little cautious about what Lu Tong said, and he didn't dare to judge rashly, so he thought for a while and beckoned to the soldiers: "Bring him in." ”

The shopkeepers escorted the people on the ground into the patrol shop.

At night, there were few people in the patrol shop, and most of the shop soldiers went out to patrol. Shengjing is quite peaceful most of the time, except for occasional fires, and the soldiers occasionally catch a thief.

Shen Fengying entered the house, and when he turned around, he saw the man who was following Lu Tong. The man was tall, dressed in a gray guard uniform, and his bearing was not like that of an ordinary guard, he looked at the people on the ground, then at the man, and asked cautiously: "Is it that you subdued the murderer?" ”

The man nodded.

Shen Fengying sat down on a chair in the center of the room and turned to Lu Tong: "Tell me what happened tonight." ”

Lu Tong said: "After the hospital closed today, I went back to the house with the maidservant to rest, and suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. When I got up and opened the door, this man tried to attack me with a knife, but thanks to this strong man who stepped forward and caught the thief for me and saved my life......"

"Wait," Shen Fengying frowned and glanced at the guard, "It's so late, how can this strong man happen to be here so coincidentally, and just happened to save you?" ”

After speaking, he glanced at Lu Tong with disdain, what kind of serious person can a lonely man and a widow get together in the middle of the night?

When the guard heard this, he said: "In the lower hall, the former division commanded Master Pei and the guard Qingfeng, today Doctor Lu went to the Wenjun Palace, the medical box was left in the mansion, and the princess ordered it to be sent back, just arrived at the medical hall, and happened to see the gangsters committing murder." ”

Hearing this, Shen Fengying suddenly jumped up like his buttocks were on fire, and his words were not good, "County, County King's Mansion?" What is Dr. Lu doing in the Junwang Mansion? ”

Lu Tong replied softly: "The princess of the county fell in love with the people's daughter, and specially invited the people's daughter to participate in the little lady's 'children's washing party'. ”

Shen Fengying felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

The last time I saw this medical girl, she was still-for-tat with Pei Yunyi, with a hostile face, why did she become a guest of the county king's mansion in just over a month?

How did she climb to the county king's mansion faster than he, the leader of the patrol shop, to be promoted?

Pressing the sour jealousy in his heart, Shen Fengying walked up to the people on the ground, raised his foot and kicked it, and said, "Say!" Who are you and why did you assassinate Dr. Lu? ”

The patrol shop has not taken on any major cases in the past few days, and Shen Fengying's posture of interrogation is very rusty, and it can be seen that Lu Tong and Qingfeng both have complicated expressions.

The soldier beside him asked, "My lord, why don't you hand it over to the Prison Division?" ”

"What do you know!" Shen Fengying scolded on his lips, but secretly thought in his heart, no matter how this matter looks, it is not so simple, Lu Tong is just an ordinary medical girl, the gangsters will kill people when they come up, it can't be for money, but when it comes to revenge, what kind of grudge can she have as a doctor.

With the lessons of the past, Shen Feng should be extra cautious in every complaint, for fear that he would accidentally become a wronged person again.

was pondering, and suddenly heard the noise of the soldiers outside the door, Shen Fengying raised his head impatiently: "What are you arguing about, don't disturb my thinking." ”

The next moment, someone spoke: "It seems that Lord Shen has a clue." ”

Shen Fengying was taken aback, quickly turned around, and saw a young man open the curtain and come in.

“…… Pei Dianshuai? ”

Pei Yunyi carried a silver knife in his hand, walked into the house with a smile, glanced at Lu Tong and Qingfeng, and said, "It turns out that you arrived early." ”

"My lord, this is ......" Shen Fengying secretly beat the drum in his heart, why did Pei Yunyi also come.

Lu Tong spoke: "Therefore, the matter is very important, and Prince Qingfeng will make someone inform Master Pei of this matter." I didn't expect Master Pei to come in person......" After a pause, Lu Tong continued: "Maybe my lord thought that this person might be the murderer of the male corpse in Wangchun Mountain, so he is so concerned." ”

Pei Yunyi raised his eyebrows slightly and did not refute.

Shen Fengying became nervous when he heard this, "You said this person is the murderer of the unsolved case in Wangchun Mountain?" ”

Good guy, it's because of this person that he was angry with his boss, if this person really committed the crime and fell into his hands, then he can't say anything evil.

Lu Tong bowed slightly: "I'm just guessing." ”

Shen Fengying looked down at the person on the ground, no matter what others said, this person was silent, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, only when Pei Yunyi came in just now, his expression was nervous for a moment, but it was quickly covered up.

"Say, why did you commit murder? Did you do the case in Wangchun Mountain? Shen Fengying kicked him and threatened him unskillfully: "If you don't tell the truth, you will be punished!" ”

The people on the ground were unmoved, and Pei Yunyi laughed.

He said, "Lord Shen, you can't judge you like this. ”

Shen Fengying wiped his sweat, let go of the chair in the room, and said with a smile: "Please advise Master Pei." ”

Pei Yunyi sat down on the chair, thought about it, and said seriously: "Originally, I shouldn't have interfered in this matter. But in the case of Wangchun Mountain, I can't ignore the reputation of the former division of the palace. ”

Shin Bong-ying: "Yes, yes, yes." ”

Pei Yunyi said again: "Before I came, I asked Qingfeng to search this person's body, and searched for tokens to check the details of this person. Lord Shen won't complain about me, will he? ”

"How so?" Shen Fengying smiled sweeter than flowers, "My lord, this is a great help to patrol the shop, and it's too late for the officials to be grateful." ”

He can see that Pei Yunyi is bound to win this case at all, and he is just here to go through the hands of the shop and look more open.

But why did he have to go through the shopkeepers?

Pei Yunyan stared at the people on the ground, his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, his expression was kind and gentle, he looked like a young, handsome, and talkative ordinary official, but looking at people made people feel a little cold.

He said, "Wang Shan, it's so late, your wife and children should have already slept." ”

As soon as the word "Wang Shan" came out, the faces of the people on the ground quickly turned white, and their bodies trembled violently.

The young man looked at him with pity and a deeper indifference.

He said, "Why don't you invite them from Huaihua Street now?" ”

"I say, I say!"

The next moment, the people on the ground screamed.

Shen Bong Ying was shocked.

This person had a heroic appearance of preferring to die before, but Pei Yunyi only said two words before he pryed this person's mouth. You must know that he has heard of books before, this kind of dead soldier will not say a word when he is beaten half to death, and this person is too spineless.

However, in such a short period of time, Pei Yunyi has already found out the eighteenth generation of the other party's ancestors? Is he a youkai? Also, what is the purpose of such a well-prepared meal?

The people on the ground said: "I didn't kill the people of Wangchun Mountain." ”

Pei Yunyao said "um": "Who is the person who instructed you to assassinate Doctor Lu?" ”

For some reason, Shen Fengying secretly felt that something was wrong in his heart, but it was too late to stop it.

"It's Concubine Meng!" The man gritted his teeth, raised his head and said, "It's Concubine Meng of the Wenjun Palace!" ”
