Raising her head and looking at the plaque on the old yamen in front of her, An Qing suddenly lost confidence in what was going on.

She sighed deeply, and said like a dismay: "It's such a small broken yamen, it's not half the age of Qingdi Township." ”

"After all, it's just a village, and it's good to have a yamen. Zhao Wu'an was not dissatisfied, and reached out to flick the little red mallet hanging by the drum.

"I doubt it's going to work!"

"Absolutely. Zhao Wu'an said word by word.

After saying that, he raised the drumstick in his hand and smashed it on the drum.

"Bang!"

A deafening and earth-shattering bang exploded in front of the small yamen, and the passers-by were all shocked, looking at the man in white who appeared out of nowhere.

What's more, now Zhao Wu'an, there is still a thick black scar on his chest, looking at it from a distance, it is quite shocking, and people can't help but wonder what he went through to beat the drum here, but he didn't dare to delve into it because he was afraid of the truth.

An Qing was obviously taken aback, thinking that the scene of tens of thousands of empty alleys blocking the entrance of Ning Mansion that day was about to reappear. But she waited for a long time before realizing that passers-by were just standing in the distance in surprise, and did not dare to rush forward.

And that's what Zhao Wu'an wants.

Dong Dong knocked on the ground for a quarter of the pillar of incense, Zhao Wu'an did not pause from beginning to end, until even An Qing felt that he was about to become deaf, and the door of the yamen finally opened a crack outward.

Inside, the rather pretentious catcher of the day, was carefully looking out through the crack in the door to see who was beating the drum.

But Zhao Wu'an didn't give him this face, as soon as he raised his hand, the catcher fell backwards with a bang, and the door creaked inward at a distance enough to pass through people.

He narrowed his eyes, as if regretful, and said lazily: "Oops, oops, why did you fall." This room is dim, you must eat more wolfberries to brighten your eyes. ”

Although An Qing, who was following him, tried her best to keep a straight face, she still couldn't hold back when she heard Zhao Wu'an's mockery, and burst out laughing.

The catcher who fell behind the door suddenly looked extremely embarrassed.

Although he always looks lazy on his face, Zhao Wu'an is a second-grade master, and it is inevitable that he will be quick with his eyes. If you are seriously injured, you can use a little internal force to push a small catch out of your body, and that is also a matter of catching it.

The door opened, Zhao Wuan swaggered into the door, looked down at the catcher who was still lying on the ground, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Is this floor so slippery?"

Catching Kuai glared at Zhao Wu'an with resentment, and then got up silently by himself.

Taking advantage of this time, An Qing had also walked into the house. This yamen is indeed very small, the main gate is connected to the main house, and there is a small door at the back of the house, leading to a small courtyard.

According to Lao Langzhong, Xia Lian's residence is located at the north end of Duxiu Village, so it should be very close to this yamen. According to Zhao Wu'an's plan, after the two waited at Langzhong's house until noon and still disappeared, they left a note and set off to the Yamen in the north of the village.

In terms of the size of the village, Duxiu Village is simply one of a kind. Zhao Wu'an and An Qing's footsteps were not slow, but it still took nearly half an hour to walk from that end to this end.

There are still flat country roads, sparsely populated, and there are no large areas of farmland. In the meantime, people can't see where they are in the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Wu'an was surprisingly silent all the way, and at this time, he suddenly pushed down behind him, which seemed to be an unprecedented move.

An Qing vaguely felt that something was wrong with Zhao Wu'an, but she didn't know what was wrong.

Although the first meeting was not pleasant, Zhao Wuan still expressed his intention to the catcher with a humble attitude.

Of course, the means are still the same. Zhao Wu'an is a person who never makes drafts when he is in a hurry.

"It's a bit embarrassing to say, this girl is actually my master. She fell in love with the young master of the Ning family in the north, so she left behind her family wealth and went south. Unexpectedly, the young master abandoned it, and when he was a slave, he felt sorry for the young lady. ”

He deliberately lowered his voice, and leaned into the fast ear to speak, as if he was afraid that An Qing would hear it.

An Qing, who had been communicating with Zhao Wu'an for a long time, should naturally pretend to be annoyed and teach him a lesson at this time, but when he saw Zhao Wu'an seriously say that he admired other men, he felt funny in his heart and felt a little indignant at the same time, and said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense!"

This statement comes from the heart, but there is no carving, and it is so simple that it is difficult to doubt.

Zhao Wu'an deserves to be Zhao Wu'an, in the face of An Qing's interesting performance, there was no smile on his face, instead of three points of regret, three points of guilt, and four points of desire to say goodbye.

"Alas, I can't hide it, although the young lady has a lot of money, she has to marry someone after all. The lord has been tired of seeing people for many years, and I would rather the young lady can pick a favorite Langjun...... If Miss can get a couple in this life, Xiao An'er will be blind to death!"

The two sang and harmonized, although there was no cooperation, but the momentum was round and strong, and the old catcher was stunned for a while.

Zhao Wu'an pretended to wipe away his tears, and seeing that he was about to succeed, he quietly glanced at An Qing.

An Qing reacted quickly, moved over crying, hugged Lao Kuai's arm, and howled in the dark.

Zhao Wu'an also immediately turned his head and cried: "Miss and I don't want to believe that Ning Dantong is a ruthless person, and there must be a secret in this matter." Yesterday, I was shocked to hear about the death of the master of the Ning family, and I expected that Ning Dantong would be sad at this time, but the door of the house was closed, and I couldn't meet it. Xiao An'er has been treated well by the An family since she was a child, and it is not a pity that her liver and brain are smeared. Now that the young lady is in this disaster, Xiao An'er racked her brains, and she had to make this decision, so she came to beat the drum of injustice. ”

The old catcher was stunned and said, "What's the next step?"

"The matter of sending Master Ning's remains back to Ning Mansion hopes to be handed over to Xiao An'er. ”

As soon as these words came out, the purpose was too conspicuous, and Lao Yu couldn't help frowning: "This matter ......"

"I still hope that the official master will be fulfilled!" Zhao Wuan knelt down without any consciousness.

Seeing that Zhao Wu'an was seriously injured and forced to kneel on the ground, An Qing's heart tingled, and she hurriedly said: "You can also follow, it's okay! As long as you can let me enter that Ning Mansion!"

In order to strengthen some persuasion, Zhao Wuan bent his waist lower. An Qing saw it in her eyes, and the pain in her heart was even more inexplicable.

And when this mood was shown on his face, it became extremely convincing, and Lao Zhukuai couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, if I could have met a loyal servant like you......"

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

Zhao Wu'an and An Qing had a series of questions in their hearts at the same time. The two of them, one high and one low, glanced at each other, and a wry smile appeared on their faces.

After laughing like a stone, of course, he quickly changed into a sad face, just staggering the time when Lao Yu quickly recalled his youth.

With a stunned face, the old catcher said quietly: "Go ahead, the remains are in the backyard, and I originally planned to set off in a while." ”

"Thank you, master!" An Qing bowed her waist again and again with gratitude, helped Zhao Wu'an, who was kneeling on the ground, and led him out of the door.

Walking into the backyard, An Qing frowned and whispered: "Acting is acting, why are you still kneeling, how cold is the ground, and you have injuries on your body." ”

Zhao Wu'an glanced at An Qing obliquely, but did not speak.

In the corner of the backyard, on two side-by-side planks sat a bulging bag of hemp. Zhao Wu'an broke free from An Qing's support, stepped forward, reached out and pressed on the sack.

"Time is of the essence, so I can only take a general look. He whispered to An Qing.

After saying that, he quickly groped around the corpse through the sack. An Qing was a little farther away, only watching Zhao Wu'an's movements, but she didn't dare to come forward and give it a try.

In fact, even if she tries it herself, she probably won't be able to find a name. Zhao Wu'an also knew this, so he simply did it for him.

It's just that this sick body, which has just been able to get out of bed for a short time, has experienced this emotional performance, and it seems that it is really not so neat. Zhao Wu'an examined the corpse through the sack, and could also feel the first burst of dizziness.

He frowned and sniffed the bag gently. Then he straightened up and turned to An Qing, his face solemn.

"There were two wounds to the head, both of which were hit hard, similar to the condition of several teenagers who fell to death in Qingdi Township, except in the back of the head. He should have been dead for less than a day, with no other injuries other than his head......"

Zhao Wu'an pondered for a while, and said quickly: "The next thing is speculation, he seems to have been deeply drugged and fell asleep for a long time. ”

"Fall asleep?" An Qing was stunned, "Is it at the top of Guanyuan Pavilion?

"Not sure. Zhao Wu'an shook his head, and then turned to look at the bag that was almost bursting by Ning Longhai's fat body, with a complicated expression.

"I didn't realize how obese the head of the Ning family was, but now that I see him, I'm afraid that he is suffering from food craving. ”

"And his wife Pang Li is lazy, the two maids, Jinlan seems to have lust, Guixi is furious, and Yu'er's biological mother Xia Lian is guilty of jealousy......"

An Qing tilted her head. Strictly speaking, this passage of Zhao Wu'an does not seem to have anything to do with the facts of the case.

Zhao Wu'an's eyes were deep.

"You said before that you thought this village was weird, didn't you?"

An Qing nodded.

"I'll tell you right now where the weirdness is. Zhao Wu'an said word by word.

"Almost all the villagers here are sinners. They suffer from sins that are as difficult to remove as maggots from tarsal bones, and they are proud of them. ”

An Qing's eyes widened suddenly, this conclusion could be said to be completely beyond her expectations, but it was so reasonable.

"But...... Why is that?" An Qing asked in disbelief.

Zhao Wu'an turned his head and fixed his gaze on the sack on the ground.

"I have no reasonable explanation, only one guess. He said lightly, "Duxiu Village, it should be a cage." ”
