Chapter Twenty-Seven: Why Did You Come?
Shrouded by the gaze of the thin head, Chen Ji's mouth became a little dry for a while.
After all, he is a young man who is still hot-blooded, and he joins the yamen just to eat with a mouthful of food, and his mind still yearns for the rivers and lakes.
Now that I have seen the famous predecessors of the rivers and lakes, even the palm holding the handle of the knife is trembling with excitement.
I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
is also among the yamen servants, but even such seniors have to politely call Shen Yi a little friend, the so-called fame of the rivers and lakes is really made by fists.
Chen Ji shook his head, thinking of the scene when Shen Yi was covered in blood, sitting lazily in the countryside, and the corpses in front of him were not cold, and he felt that everything was as it should be.
"Seniors praise falsely."
Shen Yi responded with his hand and continued to walk forward, without the intention of continuing to praise each other with the other party.
However, the thin head Tuo stopped him with someone: "This is my junior brother of King Kong Gate, who sent the nickname Zhang Butcher, came from Qingzhou to look for me, and he is also going to find an errand under the county master." ”
Shen Yi nodded, and Zhang Tuhu also nodded his chin in response.
"I have business to do, so I won't bother the two of you first."
After the politeness was finished, Shen Yi stepped forward again, and the thin head Tuo moved slightly, still stopping in front of him.
“……”
Shen Yi looked over calmly.
The so-called people have their own ambitions, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with the thin head Tuo taking money to do things, if he hadn't crossed over, he would have put on this dress, cut off the road of the Jianghu sect, he also wanted to join the sect like the other party, learn some martial arts, and devote himself to the rich gentry's house to be supported.
But if the other party accepts the money, and what he does is specifically to make a mess for himself, then it's two words.
"The three of you and I are all martial arts scholars, why don't you find a place to have a drink."
The thin head Tuo smiled, and reached out to put his hand on Shen Yi's shoulder: "The old man is much older than you, and he calls himself an elder with a cheeky face, you are still young and too powerful, it doesn't hurt to talk to an old man like me more." ”
Even Chen Ji, who was standing in the back, felt the subtlety in the atmosphere.
Master Lin and the steward were silent, their eyes dim.
None of them believed in Shen Yi's ability very much.
But in comparison, they didn't believe in the judgment of the thin head, but how could a businessman dare to question it in front of such a master.
If the people of the yamen can take care of it again, it will be a good thing, but I didn't expect the other party to even stop this, how dare Shen Yi make a mistake in front of the county lord's celebrity.
In full view.
Shen Yi was silent for a moment, slowly took away the palm that the other party put on his shoulder, and patted his shoulder twice: "Thank you seniors for your kindness, but I still have tolerance today, I'm sorry." ”
His movements made the atmosphere freeze instantly.
Embarrassment appeared in the eyes of the thin head, and a trace of annoyance appeared on the old face.
Zhang Butcher turned his head, his rich beard was covered, and the corners of his mouth were a little more mocking.
"If I'm not mistaken, Shen Zhutou has recently risen to the top and is in charge of all the demon disasters in Baiyun County. The old man said that there are no demons here, but it is an ordinary homicide, how can the Lin family have your tolerance to handle, or do you not believe the old man? ”
There was a little more coldness in Slender Toutuo's voice.
Shen Yi glanced at the steward and said calmly, "Lead the way." ”
"Ah...... Good ......"
Where did he dare to get involved in this kind of dispute, the only thing that shocked him was that he was a former bad gambler, and now he was able to maintain his composure in front of the thin head.
The most outrageous thing is that Slender Toutuo still seems to have nothing to do with him.
Knowing this, the master might as well go directly to the yamen class room and go to the county prince's mansion...... There is no use for fart.
The steward's thoughts wandered, and he trotted towards the side courtyard.
Wait until the three of them disappear from the end of view.
Master Lin clenched his fists again and again: "The two seniors, how much offense, Shen Zhutou is also concerned about official business, you two must not go to your heart." ”
Thin Toutuo's face was gloomy, and he waved his sleeves and followed.
Zhang Butcher followed closely and said casually: "Senior brother is very familiar with him?" ”
"I haven't seen it, it's just a pity, thinking that in the future, I will work under the county master and take care of each other, but I never thought that I would be a brainless idiot."
"I see, I thought it was my senior brother who was afraid that he would know about us being bluffed by demons and lose face in vain."
Listening to the words in the other party's words, the thin head Tuo suddenly turned around, his face was gloomy, and it took a long time to calm down: "You just came from Qingzhou, you thought this was a small place, I don't blame you for being arrogant, but remember for me, the water here is deeper than you think." ”
With that, he continued to walk forward: "What do you think he can do, and he won't be like us in a while, and he won't find an excuse to come out like us." ”
Zhang Butcher closed his mouth noncommittally.
The two talked.
Shen Yi and the others followed the steward to a side room, and watched the other party slowly lift the white cloth, revealing the corpse below.
With just one glance, Chen Ji's admiration for the thin head added a few points.
What a way to open your eyes and tell nonsense.
I saw a sturdy man's body lying on the bed board, with only half of his left arm left, and a large hole in his abdomen, which was cleaned up.
The two eye sockets on the face were empty, there was no nose, and the whole right side of the face was licked to only bones, not even a single piece of flesh.
"Yesterday was fine, just one night."
The housekeeper of the Lin family closed his eyes and rubbed his face vigorously, trying to dispel the coolness on his body.
He still remembered how majestic and majestic Liu Qi was when he first arrived at the Lin family, but now he has become like this.
"No one knows how he died?" Chen Ji's brows furrowed.
A dignified martial arts master, even if he bumps into a demon, how can he die quietly.
"The person who found him is not from my Lin family."
The steward of the Lin family sighed, wanted to say but didn't dare to say it, and looked back at Shen Yi: "When you sent Miss Bai Wei back, after her injuries healed, although her temperament has not changed, her memory is missing a lot, and she can't remember many relatives. ”
Speaking of this, the steward pouted and said: "Half a month ago, she said that a friend she met outside was going to come to the house as a guest, and it was a young man, this thing should not have been said, Miss is still a yellow flower girl, you two have heard it, don't say it outside and ruin your reputation......"
Chen Ji nodded.
The steward continued: "The master feels sorry for Miss, and considering that having an acquaintance with him may help Miss recover her memory, so he kept this person, Miss is very close to him, and we will also treat him as guests." ”
"Liu Qi's body was found in his room...... Miss doesn't happen to be at home these days......"
"Senior Slender Head Tuo chatted with him and said that it had nothing to do with him......
Hearing this, Shen Yi finally understood what the other party meant.
The Lin family has long had the object of suspicion, and the reason why they went to find Slim Tou Tuo was not to find a demon at all, but to destroy the demon.
"Where is he?" Chen Ji asked subconsciously.
"I'm here."
Lazy voices came from outside the door.
The young man in a black shirt leaned against the door, stretched out his hand and yawned, with a smile on his red lips and white teeth, he grinned, and the two tiger teeth added a bit of provocation to the smile.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "You are Shen Yi?" How did you come? ”
The voice was full of high-mindedness, and looking at Shen Yi's eyes was like looking at his own slave.
