There was some silence in the workshop at this moment, and everyone stared at the blurry picture. Four words appeared in the ribbon: Qingyuan painter.

"Qingyuan painter, one of the holy hands of Jiangnan?" Li Defei said.

"That person is a painter of Qingyuan, Liu Nandong, the original son of the Jiangnan Gongyuan, and then he went to paint without taking the merit test. Then his reputation was greatly enhanced, and he was quite famous in the Jiangnan generation, and his authentic calligraphy and painting lines in Suzhou and Hangzhou had his real works, but this person has always been only in Jiangnan. Sometimes in Suzhou and Hangzhou, sometimes in Jinling, how can you be in Ganliang Mansion?"

Long Xiangtian said: "Quickly soak the remaining drawing paper in water in this way, and see if there are any other words?"

The rest of the people did the same, and sure enough, the remaining drawing paper drawings were also blurred, and some words were also shown in the ribbons, and the rest of the paper read: "Fame and fortune", "Heaven makes money", "The painter contributes", "The first lifter", "The bird hides the bow", "The rabbit dies and the dog cooks".

The paper was placed on the large table in the public court, and these words were obvious and easy to understand Long Xiangtian said: "It seems that this person has always been obsessed with the fact that he fell first, but he knows that 'the bird is hiding the bow', but why does he still do this? If there is no explanation, how can he do such a thing?"

Everyone is lost in thought, and without any sound, who can understand whom? The human heart is the most difficult to understand, so people need to obey some laws and regulations.

Chen Renhai said: "I think this person didn't know that he was in danger, and then he didn't know how to know that his catastrophe was coming, so he drew another picture baseboard, and the murderer took it away, thinking that it would be a picture baseplate, he knew that the yellow weevil in the Heavenly Dao was going to be unfavorable to him, so he left a clue for us before he died." ”

"But these words can be regarded as clues?" said Poplar.

Long Xiang Tiandao: "I know that this person is a Qingyuan painter, and I know that he has collusion with the Heavenly Dao, but we still can't catch the people in the Heavenly Dao, I only know that General Zhou, Ge Gang Leader, and this Liu Nandong are related to the Heavenly Dao." Now there is only one way to search and arrest and inspect. ”

Mei Jin said: "I wonder if the Dragon Commander can gamble again?"

"Do you want to gamble once?" asked Long Xiangtian.

Mei Jin nodded and said, "Let people go to the hut opposite the painting studio building to arrest people."

Governor Ma immediately sent a secret order to the officials, and Chen Renhai said: "The two brothers are gambling on the way of heaven, and someone is 'hiding in the world?'"

"Now there is only this law, martial law in the cities and towns, patrolling all day long, but now there is still no harvest, think they are still hidden in the Ganliang generation, have not gone far, Bo last time, it is better than waiting here for the report of the daily patrol. Poplar said.

"Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, anyone who wants to hide from the sky and the sea, it is inevitable that they will end up being secret. We've uncovered their plot at the Northwest Jockey Club, and we've seriously injured them, so I'm sure they'll still show their fox tails. Li Defei said.

Chen Renhai sighed: "I hope so......"

This sigh was a result of the helplessness of the slow progress of the case, and it was only after many days that the enemy's conspiracy gradually became known, and the two prefectures in the southeast and southeast did not know how the progress was. Even if the emperor doesn't blame, Chen Renhai is also a little dissatisfied with his actions during this time, the opponent is too hidden too terrifying, there is only one way to gamble at present, in fact, it is inferred that it is also a gamble, but the size of the probability, but this case is not for them to lose, if they always take risks, they may not be able to solve the case in the end.

Someone in the back hall summoned and asked where to use lunch. But the people here have no appetite at all, at least the people who led the crowd to solve the case have no appetite at all at this time.

After about a quarter of an hour, someone ran to the court to spread the word, and the official led the arrester to the court, and said, "My lords, my subordinates and others have captured a couple in that house in the alley, and they have now taken them to the courtyard. Waiting for the adults to fall"

Long Xiangtian said: "Bring this person up"

After that, the catchers escorted the couple to the court, and when they saw so many people, the couple immediately knelt down in fright, and frequently said: "The adults spare their lives, but the villains don't know what crime they have committed, why are they escorted to the court by the adults."

"Governor Ma, go to court to try the case" Chen Renhai said.

Governor Ma was a little at a loss, and said, "Lord Chen and all of you are the supervisors of this case, how dare the lower officials go beyond the dead?"

Long Xiangtian said: "Governor Ma is the governor of Ganliang Mansion, in charge of the affairs of Ganliang Mansion. This case occurred in Ganliang Mansion and was a case produced in the land under the jurisdiction of Governor Ma, and the trial of the case was a matter within Governor Ma's share, so how can it be said that it was a case of the Governor of the Northwest? Governor Ma, try the case quickly"

Governor Ma replied to the order, sat down on the table in the public court, and asked, "What is your surname?"

The couple spoke one after the other, the man's name was Tao Xiao, and the woman's name was Wu Jia.

Governor Ma continued to ask, "Do you know anything about the workshop?"

Tao Xiao trembled and said, "This person ...... Xiaomin is not familiar with him, only that he put a clothesline on the building with Xiaomin, but other than that, Xiaomin really doesn't know."

"Then why is there no clothesline in the alley and in that building?" said Governor Ma.

Wu Jia said: "It was cut by the people's woman, the painter didn't open the door again a month ago, the window was closed for a long time, and the clothesline was not used for a long time, so the people's woman cut it." ”

"Years ago, do you know when he will return home?" said Governor Ma.

"I don't know about this little man, but I know that the building was lit with an oil lamp last night, and I think he has come back. But today I heard the news of his death, but this ...... None of this has anything to do with the small people. Tao Xiaodao.

The governor said, "Do you know this painter?"

Tao Xiaodao: "Xiaomin has met him a few times through the window, and he saw it when he was drying clothes before. ”

Governor Ma touched the beard on his chin, twisted his beard and thought about the words of the two of them, and said, "Come on, bring the corpse up"

The corpse that had just been moved aside and covered was carried to the court again, and as soon as the white cloth was lifted, Wu Jia screamed in fright, and Tao Xiao was naturally startled, but he didn't make such a loud noise.

"Recognize it carefully, could it be this person?" Governor Ma asked.

Tao Xiao and Wu Jia endured fear and looked at the corpse closely, the white face was still pierced with silver needles, there were still some blood marks on the corners of the eyes, there were knife marks on the chest, and although the blood stains around them had been wiped, they still looked a little marked.

Tao Xiao trembled, so did Wu Jia, the two glanced at each other, a little surprised, Tao Xiao said: "Adult, Xiaomin...... I don't know this person...... The painter is not him......"

Governor Ma was a little surprised, and said, "Not him?"

Long Xiangtian and the others were all standing on the side at the moment, watching Governor Ma's trial and the reactions of the two.

Chen Renhai said: "How long do the two masters have to pretend?"

At this time, Governor Ma naturally did not speak out, although he was familiar with the way of judging the case, but he couldn't cope with this case a little, just looking at what Chen Renhai and others were talking about, he couldn't understand it, but the normal method of investigating the case was not difficult for him. Now that so many Ouchi masters are here, they have spoken out, and it is time for them to withdraw.

Tao Xiao looked at the eyes of Chen Renhai and the others, was startled, and said, "My lord...... The villain doesn't dare to lie......"

"You two are right, and there are no flaws, but there are some things that you still don't know. Chen Renhai said. "What you are saying is that the painter has been away for a long time, but there is no other place in this alley for you to dry your clothes, where can you dry your clothes when the clothesline is broken?" asked Chen Renhai.

"This is the case with many residents in the alley, most of the upstairs residents hang clotheslines on the upper floors, and there are also hangers on the first floor of the alley. The women's house is a small two-story house, and there is a place to dry clothes on the first floor. Wu Jia Dao.

Chen Renhai said: "You're a 'folk woman' who is indeed quick-witted, but you screamed in fright, it's really a bit biased, your husband saw the corpse before you, but why did he make a frightened appearance after you? After the two of you looked at each other, your husband continued to tremble, I don't know why? Was he afraid of Governor Ma? Or was he pretending to be panicked?"

Tao Xiaodao: "Adult, the villain is wronged, the villain really doesn't know this person."

"Alright, don't pretend to be confused here. Long Xiangtian also said.

Wu Jia was already incoherent at this moment, and said in a panic: "Ladies and gentlemen, we really haven't lied, we haven't lied...... " After saying that, he kowtowed his head trembling again.

"When I entered the door, the two of them were escorted in, but their steps were so light, why are they so?

Tao Xiao also immediately trembled and kowtowed, and said, "This ...... This little people...... How do you know that Xiaomin usually walks like this...... Adults will check it out."

Wu Jia also said the same: "My lord is clear, and the women don't know why this is the case" Wu Jia's words were already crying at this moment, and then tears flowed out of the corners of his eyes.

Ren Chaoxian said: "When Governor Ma was trying the case, I had secretly sent me and other guards to your waiting room to collect evidence, and there was physical evidence here from time to time. ”

Governor Ma said: "Don't cry and complain first, several adults are all important members of the Inner Palace, and they are in charge of the recent case in my Ganliang Mansion." Your lordships will definitely enforce the law impartially, if you and others are not involved, the adults will not wronged you and others, and this official will also make decisions for you. Wait for this time to wait."

After that, the two of them stopped. From time to time, a guard came to the public court and handed over a burden to Ren Chaoxian. Ren Chaoxian opened the burden and said, "How can you explain these things?"

I saw that there was a knife from the Shaxi Gang on the baggage, as well as a few brushes, and the bottom plate of those pictures.

"This ...... This little people...... Xiaomin doesn't have these things," Tao Xiao shouted.

Governor Ma was shocked and said: "The evidence is conclusive, you dare to deny it, and put these two people in prison first."

With that, the official escorted the couple down, and with the sound of crying and shouting, the voices of the two became more and more distant.

After a long time of trial, the sun was already in the west, and there was a few cool breezes on the main street in the city, and the clouds slowly drifted in from afar, slowly swallowing up the colors of dusk. There is little rain here, and the first rain is about to usher in here when the late spring is about to enter the summer, and there is little rain in the summer here, and it will only rain when spring and summer alternate and midsummer, and the rain is not too appropriate for this season and this place.

Night fell on Gan Liang Mansion, and light rain also arrived as scheduled. The raindrops were very slow, and their arrival washed away the dust on the streets of Gan Liang Province, but the rain also brought some coolness, and the residents returned to warm up, and wrapped themselves in quilts again tonight.

The building opposite the painting workshop was unattended tonight, and the government had issued a notice, saying that the person involved in the case had been arrested, and that after the objects of the building were confiscated for the couple on this floor, the arresters were sealed. Then no one was sent to guard here, and the same was true for the art workshop, and there was no quick guard on duty.

The people spoke again, and some skeptical people seemed to believe the government at the moment. But the unbelievers are still talking to the neighbors at the moment, and of course, most of their "talk" is "I heard" and "they say". Even if some learned people would refute these people, and when they were speechless, they would say things like "Do not interfere with what others think," and then they would think about their righteous voice spread by others.

There was no sound in it, and there was another sound in the couple's house, and I don't know whose voice it was. There were no lights, only the sound of soft conversation.

There were four people there, and these four were talking

"It's good that there is this couple, otherwise my whereabouts would have been exposed. ”

"What a pitiful thing they are, for the sake of the child's life, they promised you to wait until you died, and they would not tell you what you were waiting for. You still force others to practice light exercises, otherwise you will be a killer. Now they're in jail, and you're ...... this kid It's so ruthless......"

"Hahaha...... What are you talking to me about here? Ruthless? You tell me I'm ruthless, what have you done? Longxi's mother and son didn't you do it?"

"This strategy is not my one, this strategy to threaten other people's homes, isn't it the new shopkeeper Zhang's plan? This trick is really vicious, many people in the rivers and lakes can't do it, but we are waiting to do it. But this Rausch court will not fall, and I will not be happy."

"I'll wait for the night to rest in this building, and I'll leave in turn before dawn, and I must wait until the soldiers who patrol the streets change shifts. ”

"That's nature, let's get some sleep first. ”

At this time, there was a change in the door, and I don't know who came. The four of them immediately turned over, and there was one more person in front of them, and that person was Long Xiangtian. At this time, the doors and windows also moved, and there was a person hanging on the building, and that person was Chen Renhai. The raindrops hit the window edge, dripping and ringing.

Long Xiang Tiandao: "I think that if I teach others light skills, we won't be able to see through this puzzle?

One of the four said, "You...... You ......"

"If you don't get a notice, you'll be here?" Chen Renhai jumped into the window.

The downstairs was surrounded by the Ouchi guards at this time, and Li Defei and Bai Yang were also here. When the lights were on, Chen Renhai lit the oil lamp, and said: "People in the Heavenly Dao, if the dragon sees the head but does not see the end, it is hidden in the world...... If it's really clever, how should the four of you deal with it today?"

None of the four replied, and they had not yet woken up from their astonishment. Long Xiangtian's sword was unsheathed, and he said: "Hurry up and catch it, you still have a chance to live, otherwise it will be a dead end." ”

There was a noise upstairs, and the sound of a fight could be heard. Li Defei and Bai Yang jumped upstairs as soon as they showed their light skills, and the four of them exchanged hands with each other, and they were good for a while, and after more than ten rounds of fighting, both sides did not win.

The swords and axes of those four people were all deadly tricks, and Chen Renhai and the others all had their hands behind, and they had not yet fought fiercely against the four people in front of them in order to capture them alive.

After another ten rounds, the two sides were still between them, and at this time, Chen Renhai's arm was cut by the opponent's axe, and he took many steps back, and he used his internal strength to endure the pain and adjust. Li Defei stretched out his arms to block the knives and axes of the four people, and a burst of internal force forced the four of them to the window.

When the four of them saw that there was life, they wanted to jump out of the window, but Long Xiangtian pressed it with a sword, and the sword qi cut out directly from the window, cutting off a pair of windows. The four of them immediately retreated, and Long Xiangtian said: "We are waiting for mercy, but they are killing the killer, such an outlaw, we have to kill the killer."

Poplar's sword slowly unsheathed, and said, "These four people, don't run anymore."

The four of them exchanged hands with the enemy again, and the two sides fell into a scuffle again, and the objects upstairs smashed to the ground with a loud noise, and the fragile objects were smashed to pieces at this time. The surrounding residents all knew that something was wrong with the house, and the sound had long since drowned out the sound of the rain, but the sleeping people were peaceful, but the shallow people were already panicked at this time.

The four of them were all left alone, one-on-one in the move Long Xiangtian in five rounds, the soft sword picked off the enemy's axe, hit the enemy's chest with a palm, and then the snake body method followed, a sword pierced the enemy's shoulder socket, the person was shocked by the sword qi and hit the wall, and instantly lost the power to fight back; Chen Renhai endured the pain and slapped the enemy's face, the enemy couldn't dodge and was directly knocked down to the first floor, spitting blood and fainting; Poplar's sword style sealed the enemy's axe, and the enemy was forced to the corner of the window, Poplar performed light skills and jumped up, dexterously killed a sword qi, the man took a knife to block the sword qi directly penetrated the knife face, and after a scream, one eye was stabbed by the sword qiLi Defei's iron fist touched the enemy's steel knife three times, the enemy's steel knife was hit to a missing corner, the enemy's hands trembled, at this time the four people surrounded the person, the person immediately wanted to kill himself when he saw this, and the poplar immediately struck with his sword, hitting the person's acupoint, and instantly sealed the person.

The rain had not stopped, but only sporadic sounds remained, and the street was quiet again. At this time, there was only the groan of the blind enemy, and the enemy who hit the back was lying on the ground and crawling with difficulty, he wanted to grab the axe, but the axe was grabbed by Long Xiangtian. The person who fell on the ground on the ground was still unconscious, Long Xiangtian looked at the enemy who had fallen into the legal net, and said to the guards downstairs: "Quickly catch these four people and send them to the palace."

The rain had stopped during the night, and only a few cool breezes were left running through the streets.

At the palace, Leng Jue was treating the unconscious person, and Long Xiangtian was guarding on the side and asked, "Can this person still survive?"

"When he landed on the ground, the back of his head hit the ground, I am afraid it is a little difficult, I temporarily diagnosed the back of his head, but the bleeding stopped, I don't know if there is still bruise in his head, if the bruising does not disperse, I am afraid it will hurt his life. Leng decided.

Long Xiangtian said: "You are here for diagnosis and treatment, if you need any medicinal materials, tell Governor Ma that is." The person Yu Wenfeng was treating was also unconscious, thinking that he had injured his back, and you also told him that you should try your best to diagnose and treat. At this time, Chen Renhai and the others were interrogating the other two in the cell, if it weren't for Ren Chaoxian's counter-trick, I am afraid that we would have found nothing. ”

In the cell, Chen Renhai and Bai Yang were interrogating the two Heavenly Dao people who had been captured alive respectively, and the raindrops outside the cell were ticking again, and the interrogation was in full swing.
