An ethereal leaf pierced the sky, and streamers galloped through the sky.

Take a closer look, above the sky, a small flying leaf carries a figure in white clothes, the clothes are inspired by the wind, and a woman with a light veil stands on the leaf.

She looked calmly into the distance.

Although I didn't see his face, but looking at his moon eyebrows and starry eyes, a little cinnabar between his eyebrows, he was also a beauty who could crown the world.

On the top of the clouds, the woman quietly stopped, standing in the wind, not moving, even if there was a thousand-foot abyss under her feet, she was not afraid.

Her star-bright eyes flickered, and then her figure disappeared in place like lightning in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in the distant mountain forest, stepping on the withered yellow leaves on the ground, making a crisp sound.

The forest is silent, clean and desolate.

But if you look closely, the evil wind is surging, the maple leaves on the trees are gently fluttering, and you can vaguely see a few strange black gases jumping in the forest.

The woman twisted her fingers casually, and a golden rune rose up with the thought, turning into a gossip array.

The majestic righteousness in the formation is boundless, and just a trace of leaking breath can invisibly suppress all evil things within a thousand miles.

The woman threw it lightly, and the rune rushed into the sky, dissolving in a blink of an eye, scattering into a few wisps of golden light, swallowing up the black qi in the mountains.

Then the woman suddenly disappeared without warning.

Did she leave? Under a leaf under the woman's feet earlier, there was a small black gas hidden.

When it saw the woman leaving, it flew desperately into the distance, and the place where the black gas went was the lively Chang'an City.

Demon Disaster Chang'an......

——————

In the living room of a luxurious mansion in the eastern part of Chang'an City, there were six people with different looks, five of whom sat side by side on a small row of chairs on the right, and a few small teas were placed on the small table next to them. And in the center sat a man in fine clothes.

Lin Jingnian gently picked up the teacup, smelled the fragrance of tea, and said lightly: "Not bad." He is well versed in the tea ceremony, and he is very satisfied with the tea used to entertain guests in this Tang Mansion, and he can't remember how long he has not drunk such good tea.

The man in the middle was the Tangxi they were looking for, looking to be in his early forties, with a dense and stubby beard, like a big man, with a pretentious momentum, and his eyes squinted dangerously like a lion.

Tang Xi lightly opened the teacup and asked slowly: "Your Excellency visited me Tang today, if you have anything, just say it, Tang has something important today, and it is inconvenient to accompany him more." "He was clearly hostile to the visit of the five.

Chen Changye looked at Tangxi with a smile and began to observe everything in Tang's Mansion, Tang's Mansion looks luxurious, but many small things can highlight the elegant taste, and there is no valuable treasure on this Tangxi.

It can be seen that he is not the kind of person who likes to make great achievements, so why did he decorate the mansion so eye-catching? Chen Changye buried this question deep in his heart.

Gu Lili glanced at Lin Jingnian, the latter gave her a look, Gu Lili nodded lightly, and asked: "Gu Lili in Xia Dali Temple, visiting today in a private capacity, is indeed abrupt, but it is also because there are a few things I don't understand, I want to ask Lord Tang." ”

Tang Xi waved his hand and said, "Then there is something to say." ”

So Gu Lili asked: "Dare to ask where Lord Shen Shitang was yesterday?" As soon as he exited, he did not hide his hostility, Gu Lili was so sharp, could he really ask from Tangxi's mouth?

Sure enough, when Shen was mentioned, Tang Xi frowned, as if he was unhappy, and he said: "I was in the house all day yesterday, and when Shen Shi was fishing, I was fishing in the backyard garden with the housekeeper. ”

"Only the housekeeper can testify?" Gu Lili was a little strange, so he asked, "Then is there anyone who can prove that you were in the backyard garden when you were Shen?"

Tang Xi shook his head, he pondered for a moment, and said: "Yesterday, only me and the housekeeper were fishing in the backyard, and we were there all afternoon, and I didn't come back for dinner until the sun set." ”

It seems that he can only ask the housekeeper, so Lin Jingnian proposed to ask about the housekeeper, Tangxi nodded, and asked Lin Jingnian and Chixiao Yao to go to see the housekeeper.

The three of them, Gu Lili and Chen Changye Changpei, were waiting in the living room to watch the play, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. But now that Chen Changye was present, he made the atmosphere even more embarrassing, and he asked coldly: "Lord Tang, I'm a little curious, how do you feel about the tragic death of your wife two years ago?"

As soon as these words came out, Tang Xi was drinking tea at the time, and his breath suddenly blocked, and then the tea gushed out, he stared at the young man in front of him with wide eyes and couldn't imagine it, he was so unreasonable, and he specifically picked on his scars?

When Chen Changye saw his reaction, he felt strange in his heart. He originally wanted to catch Tang Xi off guard, only in this way could he disrupt his plan, so that he would not have time to make up a lie in order to learn the truth, so he deliberately picked on his thorn.

Unexpectedly, Tangxi was just taken aback, and he was not too angry, which made Chen Changye feel strange.

After the living room was quiet for a while, Tang Xi sighed, looking helpless, and said, "Don't mention the things of the year, I've already put it down." ”

Gu Lili seemed to have caught something, and hurriedly asked, "Then do you know who the real murderer of your wife is?"

Hearing this, Tang Xi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It's Shen Sangui's bastard, I heard that he was assassinated on the street yesterday, what's the matter, do you think I did it?"

Chen Changye naturally noticed Tang Xi's reaction, and there was a ghost in his heart, so he asked, "Then how do you feel about what happened back then, or, if Shen Sangui is still alive now, what do you want to say to him?"

As soon as he heard that Shen Sangui was alive, Tang Xi's eyes suddenly became angry, he slapped the table and stood up, and then found that he was rude, so he could only sit down angrily, and said: "You kid had better not ask me about the things back then, if you ask again, I will immediately invite you out of the house!"

Chen Changye shrunk her neck and grimaced at Changpei, who looked dazed, she hadn't understood what was going on. Gu Lili nodded and said in a low voice: "Lord Tang, we are rude today. ”

Tang Xi snorted, the four of them sat very quietly in the living room, without saying a word, after two or three pillars of incense, Lin Jingnian and they finally came back, he shook his head slightly at Gu Lili, hinting that he couldn't find anything.

So they planned to leave Tangfu, Gu Lili gave up his hand to Tangxi, and then left Tangfu with Chen Changye and others, Tangxi also hated Chen Changye so much, if he didn't know that he was a mountain village man, he didn't know the etiquette, otherwise when he entered Tangfu, he would have been expelled on the grounds that his left foot had stepped into Tangfu first.

When the five of them left the Tang Mansion, they went to the restaurant near the scene of the crime to find a private room on the second floor and sat down, Chen Changye looked at the people coming and going outside the window, and asked Lin Jingnian: "Brother Jingnian, have you asked the housekeeper what happened?"

Lin Jingnian poured a cup of tea lightly, nodded and said, "Well, the housekeeper was indeed fishing with Tangxi that day. ”

Chixiao Yao thought for a while and asked, "Brother Jingnian, could it be that the murderer is not Tangxi at all, but the murderer of the Tangxi faction?"

Lin Jingnian quietly sipped tea and did not speak. Gu Lili said: "I have already gone to the yamen to check the body early this morning, and I was killed with one blow, the murder weapon is the Zhuge bow and crossbow, and the Zhuge bow and crossbow in Chang'an City In addition to the royal family, there is only one in the Tang Mansion." ”

Saying that, Gu Lili said: "I have already learned from the mouth of the saint that there was something strange about the case two years ago, Shen Sangui was just a chess piece, but the power behind him was too great, so he could only be charged with the crime, and Tangxi, who was wronged, gave a Zhuge bow and crossbow to apologize." ”

Chen Changye listened, but he didn't expect that there was still a hidden secret, so he asked: "Then how do you know so much? When did you go back to the palace again, why didn't I know? What is the hidden secret? Where is that power sacred, then ......" Before he finished speaking, Chen Changye shut up again.

Gu Lili stared at him, suddenly laughed, and said, "It's better not to know too much, save your life." Earlier today, I have already entered the palace to ask the emperor, the conspiracy of the forces behind it, etc., we don't need to pay attention to it, we just need to catch the evidence of Tangxi and rescue the people you want to save. ”

Hearing Gu Lili's words, Chen Changye suddenly didn't understand which faction Gu Lili was from, and which side the emperor was on, and now Chen Changye was messy. But he didn't bother to think about it, looking at Lin Jingnian's calm face, he understood that he had already figured it out.

"I learned from some servants in the mansion that Tangxi has no hobbies, but he went to a dilapidated tavern half a month ago and didn't let anyone go with him, including the housekeeper. Lin Jingnian said lightly.

Gu Lili nodded, and continued: "We separated on the way to ask the housekeeper, and we went to ask the other servants some things, and we know a lot of things. ”

Lin Jingnian continued: "The housekeeper is a good gambler, and he often goes to a casino, so we will go separately and investigate separately, mainly to find out if there is anyone who is particularly familiar with them, and use this as a breakthrough point." ”

Chen Changye nodded, Changpei sat next to him and gently pulled his clothes, and asked Chen Changye: "Brother, are we going to help?" It seems that she hopes to help a little.

Thinking about it, Chen Changye nodded and said, "Yes, sister, you can just follow me later." ”

Lin Jingnian also knew that Chang Pei couldn't act alone, so he said: "Later, Chi Xiao Yao and I will go to the casino, Miss Gu will ask you to go to the inn to investigate the person renting the room and some clues, and Brother Chang Ye and Miss Chang Pei will go to the dilapidated tavern to have a look." ”

After that, Chen Changye nodded secretly, Lin Jingnian's distribution can be described as extremely ingenious, Chixiao Yao is good at illusion, if he goes to the casino, he will definitely be able to make a profit. And Gu Lili is from a professional Dali Temple, and the investigation clues are not bad. And the mediocre self went to the dilapidated tavern with Changpei to rest, after all, Changpei has not been in good health in recent days, and Lin Jingnian, who is so considerate.

The more he thought about it, the more Chen Changye felt that Lin Jingnian was a good person, and he didn't know that he had misunderstood Lin Jingnian's meaning, and it was right to match it like this. But the intention, the intention that Chen Changye thought, except for Gu Lili's guess correctly, the other intentions would be stunned if Lin Jingnian heard it.

After resting for a while, everyone went their separate ways, and Chen Changye took Changpei to the dilapidated tavern outside Chang'an City, and according to the name, he finally found the tavern on the outskirts of the west of the city, and after walking for a long time, he was also a little thirsty.

Chen Changye fumbled for a few copper coins, so he took Changpei in to beg for a drink, and then looked inside for an afternoon, but he didn't know that he had found the most critical clue by mistake......
