When Tong Si walked out of the arrest cell, it was nearly noon.

Interrogating the Six Realms Sword Cultivator took him a lot of effort.

Fortunately, the sword cultivator couldn't survive before dawn after all.

After that, he confided everything to Tong Temple.

From wandering around the Arrest Ya a few days ago, following Qiao Hongmiao to the Zhehua Building night and night, to how he concealed the guards and sneaked into the Arrest Ya to kill Qiao Hongmiao, he explained it one by one.

Naturally, someone instructed him, and the person behind this sword cultivator happened to be a civil official above the temple of Zheng Guo who often contradicted Qiao Gaotang, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

That person's family background is deep, and he can also wrestle with Qiao's mansion. Therefore, it was not surprising that he was able to invite a sword cultivator from the Six Realms as a killer in Zheng Guo.

That sword cultivator even explained the location where Qiao Hongmiao's head was thrown, and Tong Temple had already sent someone to check it.

If it is true, as he said, that his subordinates can come back with the head of Lord Xiao Qiao, then the case can be regarded as a successful conclusion and a successful conclusion.

Tong Temple himself was able to give Qiao Gaotang an explanation.

Although it is far from being able to make up for the sadness caused by the death of Lord Xiao Qiao to Qiao Gaotang, it can at least make the Lord of the Military Department Shangshu not be angry with him.

This smiling tiger who had been tired all night sighed, working so hard, just to survive, why bother, why bother.

A group of men hurried back to the arrest office, and one of them was carrying an object in his hand, which he wrapped in strips of cloth.

The man quickly dismounted, came to the smiling tiger boy temple, and said, "Tell Steward Tong that I have found Lord Xiao Qiao's ······ Head. ”

Tong Si took the head tightly wrapped in cloth from his hand, and after opening the cloth and seeing the man's face with his own eyes, the last doubt in his heart was completely dispelled.

"The head of Lord Xiao Qiao was sealed together with the body, and sent to the capital by carriage overnight, and buried after the loss was processed in the Qiao ancestral hall. After Tong Si finished the order, he returned Qiao Hongmiao's head to the subordinate.

The smiling tiger with a needle in the head sent the man away, slowly raised his head, and looked in the direction of Zheng Guojing, which was located in the distance.

The noon sun was a little dazzling, he raised a palm, covered his eyebrows, and muttered, "Lord Xiao Qiao, Tong Mou at least returned your whole corpse, go all the way." ”

————

The sleepless boy couldn't sleep all night, thinking about the bloody head, and couldn't fall asleep.

I was anxious all night until noon on the next day.

There was some noise in the streets.

Li Zijin got up cautiously, without waking up Hong Shao on the other bed, slowly walked to the window, pushed open the window, and looked down at the group of people running on the street outside the Flying Snow Inn.

They were the officers and soldiers who wanted to arrest the Ya, and they were pushing the prisoner cart to the Jinhuai City Execution Ground.

At this time, on both sides of the street, people gradually gathered, and for a while, even the downstairs of the Feixue Inn gathered a lot of spectators, and they were discussing.

"Hey, have you heard, the pursuit of the murderer made the adult seem to have been beheaded, the incident two days ago, oh, the one in the prison car, is the murderer. It seems that he is still a mountain man, and he looks very powerful. But no matter how powerful it is? It's not the same as being beheaded. ”

"Tsk, it seems that the master chasing the murderer has only been in Jinhuai City for two or three months, right? ”

"Isn't it, it is said that the lord came all the way from the capital to take up his post. It seems to be the son of Lord Shangshu, who is young ······"

"Bah, what do you know? That bullshit chasing the murderer is a scourge, relying on the power and power, he will do evil, and he has done a lot of things like robbing people's daughters, and he offended many people when he was in the capital. Being slaughtered by the enemy right now is a very happy move, and the wicked have their own wicked grinding!"

"Forget it, the dead are the greatest, those of us who don't know the truth, don't talk nonsense, anyway, the murderer has also caught ······"

Li Zijin stood in front of the window, slightly stunned.

He looked at the bruised guy in the prison car, who was pushed to the execution ground by a team of officers and soldiers.

Is it him, killed Qiao Hongmiao?

For a person like Qiao Hongmiao, it is not a pity to die. Li Zijin did not have any waves in his heart.

Right now, everything is over, and that sword cultivator can be regarded as removing the big trouble in his heart for himself.

It seems that yesterday in the folding flower building, the man did not deceive himself, he did give himself a big gift.

Just, why?

He Li Zijin has no family background of a secular dynasty, and he does not have the status of a disciple of the Immortal Sect on the mountain, he is nothing more than a casual cultivator, and his realm is not high, except for earning some immortal money, it seems to be completely unprofitable.

That man, why did he have to put so much effort into settling Qiao Hongmiao for himself, and he did it to this extent, and even solved his worries for himself.

Why was the sword cultivator who killed Qiao Hongmiao willing to exchange his life for a life, and was willing to die for the man in Zhehualou and come here to die?

As soon as he thought of this, Li Zijin had a headache.

Everything in the world is as thin as a hair, and the world is too complicated.

The young man suddenly remembered that on the Xiaoxiang ferry, there was a woman who kindly reminded him that she had broken the mystery of the little junior sister Hong Shao, who was born from a charm.

At that time, the woman once said that when she walked the world with her little sister, it was like holding something that could make all the monsters in the world dream of, and she could snatch it by any means and at any cost.

She also said that not only monsters and spirits, but even people may also target the little junior sister.

The nun also said that she would die.

Could it be that the man in the Folding Flower Building also saw the roots of the little junior sister, so he offered such a big gift in order to get close to him?

"Li Zijin, are you awake?"

The middle-aged shopkeeper of the Feixue Inn stood outside the door, knocked on the door, and asked knowingly.

His eyes could clearly see the scene in the door.

The young man in the house, when he heard this movement, he heard that it was the voice of Master Chai, he glanced at the girl Hongshao who was still sleeping, took three steps, opened the door, raised his index finger towards the middle-aged shopkeeper, and pressed his lips, "Shhhh ”

This Zheng Guocai God squinted with a smile, and also glanced at the girl who was still sleeping on the bed, smiled knowingly, and did not say anything more.

When Li Zijin walked out of the room, turned around and slowly closed the door, he asked, "Master Chai, what's wrong?"

The middle-aged shopkeeper stood on the side of the corridor and pointed to the bamboo pavilion in the backyard of the inn, "Let's talk?"

It just so happened that Li Zijin also had some questions and wanted to ask this old man Chai.

The two came to the backyard of the Feixue Inn, sat down in the bamboo pavilion, the middle-aged shopkeeper had already set up the chessboard, he spread his palms to the young man in green shirts, and asked, "Li Zijin, can you play chess?"

The latter shook his head slightly, "The junior doesn't know anything about chess, so he won't sweep the firewood master Yaxing." ”

Master Chai was not reluctant, just smiled and nodded, rolled up his sleeves with one hand, twisted the other hand, and began to play against himself on the chessboard.

As he dropped the black and white pieces, he asked, "Can you see the scene on the street?"

It's also knowingly asking.

The boy nodded, "See." ”

"There's nothing you want to ask me?" The middle-aged shopkeeper lowered his head and stared at the chessboard, even if he was playing against himself, he was not at all random, and before taking the next step, he must be thinking and thinking again. Li Zijin saw it in his eyes and felt that even if Master Chai was not a genius chess player, he was also a respectable opponent.

The young man got straight to the point and said: "Inside the brocade box, it's actually Qiao Hongmiao's head, right?"

The middle-aged shopkeeper didn't admit it, nor did he deny it, but he just slowly fell down and said: "This is actually not important to you, as soon as Qiao Hongmiao dies, you and Hong Shao will no longer be in danger." Yesterday, Tong Si came to the inn with the Earth Net Sword Cultivator, but he couldn't get a clue from you, and he has already eliminated his suspicion of you. Now that the murderer has been caught, he will be beheaded today, and there is also an explanation from the Shangshu Mansion in the capital. This matter is in the past, and you don't have to worry about it anymore. ”

Li Zijin nodded, and asked again: "The owner of the Folding Flower Building, why did you want to help me get rid of Qiao Hongmiao?"

The middle-aged shopkeeper's movements paused slightly, put the sunspot twisted between his index finger and middle finger back into the chess basket, clasped his hands in his sleeves, and turned his head to glance at one place, he knew that at this moment, the "warm-hearted" Shen Fang master must be eavesdropping on the words of the two.

The fingers of Master Chai shrunk in his sleeve secretly pinched the trick, and silently recited the decision in his heart, silently casting a layer of landscape barrier, covering the entire Feixue Inn, including the pond and bamboo pavilion in the backyard, isolating the outside world from prying eyes and eavesdropping on this place.

Here and now, it is a place where there is "no news".

After doing all this, the middle-aged shopkeeper smiled and said, "This question, Chai asked for you in the Zhehua Building yesterday." ”

Li Zijin looked at the person opposite suspiciously, waiting for his answer.

"The landlord of the Orihua Building said that he was going to be friends with you. Old Man Chai looked at one place with great interest, and found that the man was still not giving up, and was trying to use magic to forcibly cut a hole in the mountain barrier of the Feixue Inn, so that he could sneak into it and eavesdrop on the conversation between the two.

The middle-aged shopkeeper's fingertips pinched the trick again, threw it out of the air with a stroke of Taoism, and "grabbed" a grain of mustard seed that was moving on the mountain barrier of the Feixue Inn, and he said to the man in his heart: "Don't look at indecent things, don't smell indecent things." Master Shen, eavesdropping on other people's words is not a gentleman's doing. ”

Then, the heart mustard seed was instantly shattered, and Shen Xiuyong, who was in the Folding Flower Building, was affected, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, but he was still smiling, at least ······ I've got some of the information I want to know.

The mental mustard seed hidden in the Feixue Inn was quietly dropped by Shen Xiuyong when he came to the Feixue Inn last time and gave it to Master Chai to collect money.

Master Chai also discovered it today, and he had a new understanding of the scheming city of the Shen Fang master.

If he was in Zhehualou, he naturally wouldn't be able to defeat Shen Xiuyong's fighting method so easily.

It's a pity that this is in the Feixue Inn, which is the territory of his old man.

Li Zijin asked again: "Does Master Chai think that person can be trusted? I mean, will he ask for anything else?"

The middle-aged shopkeeper remembered the man's deep eyes, shook his head and said, "It's going to be very tiring to be friends with him." However······ At least now, he's not your enemy. Li Zijin, in fact, you can regard this as owing him a favor, and one day in the future, you will return him a favor that is exactly the same, and then you will settle it out. I guess Master Shen must think the same way. As for ······ After paying off the favor, whether you want to be friends with him or not can be talked about later. ”

The young man got up slowly, hugged his fist at the middle-aged shopkeeper and said, "Thank you Master Chai for solving my doubts." ”

The God of Wealth of Zheng Guo accepted the salute calmly and watched the young man leave the bamboo pavilion.

Li Zijin suddenly stopped again, turned his head slightly, and finally asked a question.

"Master Shen helped me because he wanted me to owe him a favor, so what about Master Chai, is it the same?"

The middle-aged shopkeeper in the bamboo pavilion was stunned and undecided.

The incense villain by the pond also suddenly turned his head and looked at the God of Wealth with a complicated expression in the bamboo pavilion, he had never seen such a look from the God of Wealth.

The shopkeeper of the Flying Snow Inn, after some consideration, replied, "To me, you are a friend of a friend. ”

Li Zijin nodded lightly, smiled and turned around.

Revenge must be avenged, and grace must be remembered.

There is no human relationship with the Shen Fang master. Since the other party has a purpose, then give him an "equal" gift in the future.

Here's the deal.

And the shopkeeper of the Feixue Inn actually helped himself more than once, and every time he didn't ask for anything in return.

In the heart of the teenager, this is human affection.
