On the second day of October, Ji Xiao begged for a day off, and the city gate had just opened early in the morning, and he drove a carriage from Ruiwangfu to the direction of Ningzhe Mountain in the west of the city.

When the carriage reached the bottom of the mountain, I heard the bell ringing halfway up the mountain, and then again, and the bell of the childhood training seemed to be the same.

"Blood bamboo?" a delicate call came from the carriage.

In the past, good men and women were attracted by this female voice, presumably the wives and concubines of which officials came to Buhai Temple to ask for children.

Ji Xiao opened the curtain and sat down with his back to the door, and the woman in the carriage covered her face with a headscarf, walked out slowly, and lay on top of him.

The woman's proud two balls were overlaid on his strong shoulders, and he resisted a little.

The woman whispered in her ear, then mischievously bit his earlobe.

Two moments later, in a quiet wing room of Buhai Temple, Ji Xiao pushed the door in with the woman on his back.

Two blue lights struck, he was not afraid, he stopped, and the blue light suddenly disappeared the moment it approached his dark green eyes.

Xue Li, who was sitting in the right seat, stood up and applauded: "Xiaozhu, your cultivation has not fallen. ”

Ji Xiao nodded indifferently, carried the woman to the bed, and placed it. The woman's injuries were not light, and the moment she touched the bed, her brows furrowed.

"Xiaohua, are you okay?" Xueli stepped forward, and his black-gloved hand stroked Shang Hong's face, rubbing it, and pulling it down, tearing off her clothes, and the spring was shining.

The delicate and silky fragrant shoulders and the plump two balls are covered with dark red blood scabs, which look terrifying.

Bloody took off her gloves, glowing blue and gently roaming over her wounds.

I don't know if it's too heavy, Hong Gardenia hummed in a low voice.

"Xiaozhu, can you see who did it?"

Wounded by the aura.

It was the man from last night.

"The door master, the subordinates didn't see it clearly. Ji Xiao still had an indifferent attitude.

In an instant, the side of the double cotton dagger was already thrust in, and a hot wetness slid down his neck.

"The first rule of the ghost gate, don't lie, you forgot. As he spoke, his dagger deepened a little deeper.

Seeing this, Hong Yu got up and wanted to ask for mercy, but he slapped her on the head with a bloody hand, "Eventful!"

Ji Xiao's face was as usual.

The door master still won't slap the ghost girl's face, because the ghost girl's face is too important to perform the task.

In the ghost gate, there are two levels of heaven and earth, and the hierarchy is strict, male killing is also called ghost man, and female killing is called ghost girl.

"Yo, I feel sorry for Xiaohua, and I haven't forgotten the friendship between fish and water for many years. Since you don't tell the truth, then I can only have some fun with her. As he spoke, he reached out and pinched a scarred snow-white, and grabbed it violently, and the blood scab that had just formed in the past two days was detained.

Hong Yu trembled in pain, her lips were tightly closed, and she didn't dare to scream in pain.

"Don't say it yet?"

He aimed at the other one and did the same thing, and now the two snow-white balls were stained with blood, and anyone who saw such a flower-like woman being treated so cruelly would also feel distressed.

Ji Xiao was unmoved, lowered his head and said, "I still hope that the master of the door will see it." ”

Xueli snorted and let go, "It's not interesting, you didn't see who it was, it's a pity." I missed it yesterday. ”

Ji Xiao's shocked look was undisguised.

Missing in the ordinary killers of the ghost gate means death, and for the door owner, it means the risk of being replaced, the ghost man and the ghost woman can be assassinated by any means, if the assassination is successful, then that person will become the new door owner.

Xue Li continued: "Didn't you hate me to death before, do you want to challenge the position of the sect master today?"

"The subordinates don't dare. ”

"What's the matter, after following the little master, did you have the courage to coward?"

"No, the little master said that Zhang Qiu was about it, and returned the bounty. The account book has been handed in this morning, and the subordinates still have something to do, so they will leave first. ”

Seeing him leave, Xueli returned to the couch and took out a medicine bottle, sprinkled the medicine powder on the wound, "Scar removal, look at your ugly appearance, how will you perform the task in the future." ”

......

......

When the two enemies returned to King Mu's mansion, Pei Huan reported that the eleventh prince and Cen Shen had been waiting in the main hall for a long time.

Luo Li saw Qi Muxiao leave and asked, "Brother Pei, where is Han Dongyu?"

"He's in the house, and his life is not in danger. ”

"Okay, can you take me for a visit?"

Without waiting for Pei Huan to speak, the person who had just walked away turned back and said, "You come with me to meet the guests." ”

"Me?" Luo Lihu looked suspiciously, and saw him bow.

"Hurry up. ”

Luo Li Nian silently followed him for the sake of him coming to save her yesterday.

In the main hall, Cen Shen had just finished the report he had found today.

According to the account book in Han Dongyu's hand, a total of 23 rare and rare works of calligraphy and painting were sold through the Tibetan Painting Pavilion, of which there were five masterpieces of masters that Luo Li was familiar with. Han Dongyu recorded the time and place of the transaction in detail, but did not mention the buyer's information.

There is also a thin book that records the date and amount of "silver" handed over by the Treasure Pavilion, basically seventy percent of the income went into the pocket of Zhang Qiu, the director of the Rite Academy, and there are several pages of transaction records about the internal transactions of the Dotting Painting and Calligraphy Academy.

"Lord Wang, I will report to the criminal court tomorrow for the same reason. ”

"Well, this matter will be decided by Eleven, and he will report it to his father tomorrow. ”

"Sixth brother, I don't want it, you just spare me, let my mother know about this, and I want to scold again, the father wanted to reward the last time Mengxiaolou happened, and the mother made trouble for several days before it calmed down. ”

"No, you can't. ”

Qi Zhitong thought that his sixth brother had a separate appointment a few days ago and asked him to take charge of this matter, and he had a headache. Although he knew that the sixth brother was going to leave the royal capital for a period of time in the near future, if his mother knew that he was participating in politics, he would also act as the head of the inspection court, and he would not cry, make trouble, and hang himself.

Cen Shen suddenly spoke: "Lord Wang, is this the end of this case?"

"There is no evidence pointing to King Jing, have you forgotten what happened last time? Father and Emperor have limited us to investigate this case within 15 days, and the top priority is to recover the lost scroll. ”

The high-ranking and powerful person that Han Dongyu said was King Jing? It turned out that Qi Muxiao had known it for a long time.

Cen Shen sighed, it has not been a day or two since King Jing amassed wealth and invaded the land, he had already focused on this matter, the last time Songming Mountain Luoli was attacked, the evidence was conclusive, and there was obviously a reason to collect evidence, but Emperor Qi was sheltered and failed to pull him into the water, and this time he let him retreat.

"Take care of Zhang Qiu, don't let him die. ”

Luo Li glanced at him sideways, knowing the mind of the sick man, didn't he just want to know where the pills in Wang Wensheng's hand, who had been recommended by Zhang Qiu before, came from.

"Sixth brother, I heard that you took down the big shopkeeper who escaped from the Treasure Pavilion?"

Luo Li's heart was entangled, but he heard the man sitting there: "No, is there any news of the shopkeeper in the account book?"

"No, just heard rumors, the son of the deputy commander of the Tiger Roar Camp Liu likes to collect paintings, often mixed in this circle, the day before yesterday and I had a drink, and told me that this treasure pavilion de shopkeeper has another person, he once helped people spend 10,000 catties to get a landscape of the Luo Tang master, happened to see the king shopkeeper shouted a man shopkeeper, I just told the royal brother about you. ”

After hearing this, Qi Muxiao looked at Luo Li and said, "Are you still going to sell paintings secretly?"
