Chapter 24: The True Murderer
"Take it away, drink and make a mistake! In this situation, there is no room for mistakes. ”
"Is this surnamed Liu credible? Such an important thing would really fall on a person who asks for food?"
The man before seemed to feel something, and suddenly shouted in a deep voice: "Silence!"
The others were convinced of him, and after this sentence, the room was quiet, and even the sound of the chopsticks was gone, and the needles could be heard.
Chitose stood still, just looking away from her own gaze and no longer looking at the wing.
Although she is in a state of invisibility, some people have a keen sense of spirit, and some strangers can even see through her disguise, so you should be careful at this time.
The boy's body was stiff, and only his eyes could move. Chitose stretched out her hand to block his gaze and prevent him from looking at the wing.
The courtyard was silent, and the sound of men and women stealing could be heard from the main house not far away.
After a while, the leader said, "It's all right." ”
The rest of the room relaxed, drank and ate again.
Someone asked everyone's thoughts: "Can that treasure really help my king to win?"
Hearing this, Chitose has no need to stay anymore. She took the boy straight to the main house a few feet away, and the soles of her feet did not even splash with any extra water.
In the main room, a man and a woman are talking.
"Is there anything unusual today?" this is the voice of the rich man Liu, "Have the city defenders been here?"
"Nope. A timid female voice sounded, crying to him, "Master, the concubine and the concubine are so afraid." When are these people leaving?"
This is the third aunt, the corners of Chitose's lips are lightly raised. Hiding five big men with strong blood in the concubine's house, Rich Liu is really not afraid of a little more green on his head.
Rich Lord Liu comforted her and said, "Soon, soon, you have to endure for a few more days." ”
The third aunt complained a few more words of bitterness before she whispered: "The master promised to give my mother's paddy field ......"
"Give, give. Rich Lord Liu smiled, "You have been working really hard these days, and you have to deal with the soldiers who come to the door, I will double it for you." ”
The third aunt's voice was full of joy.
They were tired of talking little words, and Chitose was too lazy to listen to men and women anymore, so he quietly turned around and left.
The sentry on the roof knew nothing about her comings and goings.
She is weak now, and she can't kill so many people, but her ability to hide and hide has not regressed.
She ran miles away in one breath before letting the boy go: "You have some ability, you really found their hiding place, and saved me a lot of trouble." "If you should praise, she will praise, she has always rewarded and punished clearly. This time, she slept for two days in a row, which exceeded expectations, and she thought that she would wake up tired of looking for clues. I didn't know that this kid could do it on his own.
Very good.
"Now look there. She gestured diagonally to the opposite side, "It's just the right time." ”
The silhouette of the buildings in this neighborhood looks familiar. The boy followed her finger and saw two large stone lions guarding the door, and recognized them at once.
This is the main gate of the office.
At this moment, there is a red lantern swaying in the wind on the door.
He also went on a trip yesterday, and he doesn't have this thing yet.
Chitose smiled and was in a good mood: "It seems that Lord Yin has finally made up his mind. ”
She told Yang Qixing that as long as she changed her lord's will to make a transaction, she would hang a red lantern at the entrance of the office. This is the downtown area of the entire Yicheng, and I don't know how many people walk by and see it every day, so it is impossible for him to track her whereabouts.
"Tomorrow is the deadline given by the pacification envoy. The suspect was like a stone sinking into the sea, and Lord Yin had no choice but to make a desperate bet, "Finally, the first payment will be paid." ”
By this time the rain had stopped, and the boy looked at the lantern and then at her, not knowing when she was going to act. Chitose seemed to hear his heart and shrugged his shoulders: "Don't worry, it's still early." If we go to Yang Qixing now, I'm afraid there will be more than one person waiting for us. At this point, he looked left and right, and lifted him to the top floor of a remote corner tower.
As soon as Chitose jumped in, a group of bats were alarmed and flapped their wings and flew out.
She reacted very quickly, and as soon as her sleeves were rolled, an invisible wind knocked them all down, and she fell to the ground without knowing whether she was alive or dead.
This place is too close to the official's house, and the bats are flying at night, which may attract the attention of people with a heart.
Chitose covered her nose in disgust as she put the boy down. It is in disrepair and rarely frequented, and there is a thick layer of ash on the ground.
As soon as she raised her hand, she took out a piece of cloth out of nowhere and stuffed it into him: "Spread it on the ground." ”
This is a fine jacquard satin, and the fine lines on it can be seen through the shimmer. The boy hesitated for a moment, always feeling that it was a violent thing in the dust, but Chitose was impatient: "Hurry up!"
The basket was in her hand again. The boy had sharp eyes, and quickly laid out the cloth without raising much dust.
Clever enough, Chitose handed him the basket: "Cloth vegetables." ”
In the basket, it is really a good meal and good food in the restaurant, and there is still residual warmth.
The four dishes are beautiful and beautiful, and the most eye-catching is the roasted fragrant, golden roasted pig's trotters, and the taste of fat mixed with spices penetrates into the heart and spleen, and it becomes a seductive glutton.
He remembers that this was the restaurant's signature dish.
"It was roasted in apple wood, sprinkled with spices from the west, and it cost six pieces of silver. ”
The more she explained, the more the boy swallowed, and then glanced at her several times.
"Eat, what's polite?" Chitose went to fetch the chopsticks and took other dishes to enjoy, "This time the errand is well done, I will reward you." ”
In the next second, he grabbed the pig's trotters and gnawed on them.
The skin is crispy, the meat is rotten and the tendons are soft, and it tastes better in the mouth. The pig's trotter he snatched from the stick was not at the same level as the one in the big restaurant!
Chitose couldn't help but shake his head when he saw his large piece of food. On the other hand, the way she eats, she is delicate, dignified, and quiet, and none of the ladies the boy has ever seen can match her.
Seeing that he finished gnawing on his hooves and went to pick up vegetables, Chitose smiled and asked him, "Is it delicious?"
The boy nodded, of course.
"It's better than your mung bean cake and peach crisp, right?"
He's inexplicable, what does that mean?
¥¥¥¥¥
The rain stopped, and Yin Yang Qixing of the Yicheng Department looked at the water droplets flowing from the eaves, drop after drop.
After the woman in red came, he couldn't sleep for two nights in a row, and now his eyes were bloodshot, but he didn't feel sleepy.
Did she see the red lantern, and could she still come?
Yang Qixing glanced out the door.
The woman was full of evil spirits, and after thinking about it, he still invited a gossip mirror to hang on the door. It is said that this gossip mirror has been offered in the ancient temple for more than 300 years and is powerful. With it guarded, the ghosts and spirits can't get close.
He took advantage of his power and transferred an elite team of thirty people to garrison Yang's house, but now everyone is lurking.
