Chapter 16: The Uninvited Guest

The City Lord's Mansion tragedy is not complicated, but blank.

The paperwork on the case was only a thin six-page paper, which was too little for a local shocking case. There are no obvious marks on the bodies of the killers who died, but they have strong bodies and thin calluses in their palms, and they all think that they were masters before they died.

is a master, so self-conscious, why do you want to go to a small country like them where birds don't lay eggs?

To make matters worse, they should still have potential allies in the city, with unknown numbers, unknown locations, and even unknown purposes. The people of Yicheng marveled at the cruelty of the murderer, but feared more for their own safety. There is such a group of murderers who don't blink an eye hiding in Yicheng, who doesn't have trouble sleeping?

What's worse is that the royal court actually sent out to appease the envoy!

During the day today, Yicheng opened the north gate to greet this person.

Yicheng is located in the north of Liang Kingdom, is a remote city, more than 800 miles away from the capital. It has only been two days since the City Lord's Mansion case occurred, and it is impossible for the news to spread to Dadu so quickly.

Even if the city lord's mansion case is tragic, this incident is strange from beginning to end. Historically, only natural disasters and border troops were used to make special arrangements for pacification. How can the little Yicheng be a labor envoy, and his old man condescends to embark on such a trip?

But the pacification envoy arrived.

That can only mean that the pacification envoy has already been on the road to come here.

After the pacification envoy entered the bureau, he accused him of ineffective handling of the case, and said that he must arrest the murderer within three days, and said that he would sit in Yicheng and personally supervise it!

Three days.

Yang Qixing scratched his scalp so much that he was about to break, this was the rhythm that was going to force him to death. It's a pity that he has been in this position for eight years, and a few days ago, he was told that before next year, the royal court is likely to issue an order to promote him to the state capital.

Finally about to leave this poor place in the countryside where birds don't lay eggs, Yang Qixing even felt that the wind in this autumn was full of fragrance, but he didn't know that good things hadn't come to the door yet, and the bad news came first!

He couldn't help but tug at his hair again, a habitual action when he was bored, and as a result, several of them fell.

He hadn't slept for two days, and he was still sleepy.

"That's it!" he slapped the table, deciding to settle down and rummage for clues, "Someone!"

But before that, he needed another bowl of chilled lotus seed soup to suppress the bitterness in his mouth.

No one answered outside the house.

Yang Qixing shouted again, but it was still quiet outside.

Where are the subordinates who are guarding outside, don't they dare to be lazy to sleep?

Yang Qixing had to get up by himself, planning to go out and reprimand a few words.

He was holding back a breath of anger in his heart, and he couldn't wait to find someone to vent his anger. But before he could take two steps, a strong wind blew and the window cracked open.

The cool breeze blew on his face, and his hair was messed up.

Yang Qixing was about to close the window with a black face, but he inadvertently turned around and suddenly froze.

At some point, a woman in red leaned against the door, smiling at him.

Yang Qixing is a scholar, and he is familiar with the gorgeous words that praise women's appearance, what the country is fragrant, what is the sinking fish and geese, he has never felt too much. But only when he saw the woman in front of him did he know that those words were pale and powerless, and there really was such a beauty in the world!

Even if her hands are wrapped in her sleeves, only revealing the tips of her fingers, even if she looks sideways and her chin raises a little delicate curve, it is extremely delicate.

She is so beautiful that she doesn't look like a real person, and no matter how many times she looks at her, she has a strange sense of alienation, as if she does not exist in this world. However, it is this strange feeling that wants to hook people to get close to her and please her a little favor.

With just one glance, he felt that the dryness accumulated in the past two days could no longer be suppressed, and bursts of heat surged up from the bottom of his heart.

She walked forward, and only when she walked in front of him did she lightly open her red lips: "Yang Qixing?" unceremoniously called him by his real name.

Yang Qixing looked at her dumbfounded for a while before he reluctantly came back to his senses: "You, who are you, it's ...... to break into the official mansion at night."

This woman is so evil that she can inadvertently steal people's hearts. Since he was awake, he took two steps back vigilantly and shouted, "Someone!"

Quietly outside the door, as always.

Chitose said lazily: "Even if you shout, no one will come." If I were you, I would want to save time and be more efficient. ”

Before he could finish speaking, the window suddenly closed on its own, and the latch fell with a click.

"Lord Yang is thirsty?" she said with a pleasant face, "Let's drink a sip of lotus seed soup to moisten my throat first." ”

There was a burst of coldness in his hand, Yang Qixing lowered his head, and suddenly found that he was holding a cup full of lotus seed and lily soup in his hand!

The porcelain bowl was still steaming white, as if the ice had just been chiseled out of the cellar.

It's really, hell alive.

It turns out that this beautiful woman is also a stranger. Yang Qixing secretly swallowed his saliva, and looked inward: "What do you want to do! I am the Yin of the Yicheng Administration, the ...... of the Great Liang Guotang."

The woman in red interrupted him directly: "Help you catch the murderer of the City Lord's Mansion case." ”

Yang Qixing was stunned: "What?"

"I said, I can show you the way and let you arrest people. "When it comes to business, she can be extremely patient.

Yang Qixing didn't believe this woman who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, but he had to admit that her words hooked his heart: "Do you know who the murderer is?"

"It's better than that. She smiled, "I know how to find them." ”

Yang Qixing looked at her with scrutiny: "Who are you, what does it have to do with the murderer!"

"They're in my way. She didn't say any more, "Back to the point, do you want to arrest the murderer or not?" That appeasement envoy didn't give you a good face today, did you?"

Thinking of appeasing the envoy who pointed at his nose and scolded him in front of his subordinates today, and didn't give him any face, Yang Qixing's face turned blue again. How could the reassuring of the high level make it necessary for an adult to save face for a petty official like him?

If this trouble is not solved, Yang Qixing's promotion that he has been waiting for for eight years will be in vain. It is necessary to be promoted as soon as possible, he is already thirty-seven years old this year, and if he misses this opportunity, I am afraid that his achievements in this life will be limited!

"Why do you help me?"

"I want to make a deal with Lord Yang. She smiled and said word by word, "I can provide the hidden address of the real murderer of the City Lord's Mansion, and as a reward, I want the bat-shaped jade pendant on your waist." ”

He wears a cyan jade pendant on his belt, which is carved into a bat, and is homophonic to the word "Fu".

Yang Qixing subconsciously reached out and stroked the jade pendant, which was warmer than Sanyu. This is a family heirloom, my grandfather inadvertently saved a strange man, and the other party gave him a jade pendant, saying that it can cure a hundred poisons and drive away bad luck.
