Although it is cold in spring, the midday sun is gorgeous, but it is not cold at all. Su Qinghe led the team to walk through the "forbidden entry" wooden sign set up by the county government, and Zhao Wu'an fell lazily behind. I could smell the smell of blood from afar.

Su Qinghe rode his horse slowly to the scene of the murder, the grass and trees were silent, the stone tablet was wordless, and the blood was oozing white sand, all of which had decayed.

Fortunately, it is only early spring, and there are no trees to inhabit in the white sand of mass graves, and there are not many flies, mosquitoes, and insects. It's just that the corpse has been left for many days, and most of them are shriveled and rotten at this moment, and a stench of blood still makes people frown.

Even An Qing, who was quite bold among women of the same age, was a half-grown child after all, standing in front of the forbidden card and looking at it in fear, she retreated timidly.

Zhao Wu'an, who was leading the donkey, passed by her: "I'm so timid." ”

An Qing glared at him angrily: "The unscrupulous monk is embarrassed to talk about me!"

"I'm a layman. Zhao Wu'an glanced at her sideways.

An Qing huffed and twisted her head to the side. Affected by the environment, no one made a loud noise, and a group of officials in front of him were whispering, and when they saw Su Qinghe turning around and seemed to be looking for someone, they stood slightly apart.

Su Qinghe called: "Zhao Jushi, what do you think about the cause of death of these people?"

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar.

As the head of the seven grades, although he is not a big official in the court, he is already a Buddha who cannot be provoked by the local town. This time I came to Qingdi Township to investigate the case, and it can be said that a piece of paper can take away all the people in the yamen. Su Qinghe, who was unpopular in Qingdi Township, would actually ask a foreigner for advice.

Zhao Wu'an said lazily when he heard this: "Just throw the corpse." The blood is not deep, the clothes are torn and there is no clothing around, I don't think the wind is too strong in this place, is it? ”

He has not stepped over the "forbidden entry" wooden sign so far, as if he is open, but what he says is convincing. Qingdi Township has always been in good weather, and there has been no sudden wind recently. The officials searched everywhere, but they could not find the torn clothes of the teenagers.

Su Qinghe knew that what Zhao Wu'an said was obviously the same as what he thought. He motioned to a few officials standing outside: "Since it is only the scene of the corpse, there is no point in preserving it. Then you will collect the corpses and send them back to their homes to comfort their relatives. ”

There was a faint smile on the corner of Zhao Wu'an's mouth, and An Qing looked quite terrifying. Looking back at Su Qinghe's decisive posture, the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it became.

"Do you think this kind of honest and resolute young talent is more pleasing to the eye?" Zhao Wu'an suddenly asked. An Qing was told the central matter, her pretty face turned red in an instant, and she waved her hand and said, "No, no." ”

Of course, he just wanted to cover it up, Zhao Wu'an smiled, didn't poke it, and said to himself: "I also like such a man." I'm lazy and lazy, but no woman likes it. ”

An Qing took it out of context: "You like men?"

Zhao Wu'an's face darkened.

Everyone gathered firewood and the flame was high, and more than 20 people worked together, and it was not a big deal to carry a few young people's corpses. The officials wrapped rattan sticks around water and fire, set up a simple stretcher to carry the corpses, and finally covered them with a layer of white cloth, which was carried by six officials and slowly went to the town.

Su Qinghe hugged his fists at An Guangmao and said: "The aftermath is still annoying Antiha. ”

An Guangmao nodded.

In this way, the clues of the case seemed to be completely broken, and the remaining officials looked at each other, not knowing what Master Su wanted to do next. Unexpectedly, Su Qinghe led the horse and turned his head, and walked towards the high mountain half a mile away.

The whole Qingdi Township is sitting on this hundred-foot-high majestic peak, like a blue bird leaning on the dragon. At the foot of the mountain, the woods are dense, intertwined, and the boulders are scattered, facing this mass grave in the distance. Su Qinghe rode away on this mountain.

The officials hesitated to follow. There was no corpse in front of him, and he felt creepy when he went back with a few corpses, and An Qing also strengthened his courage and followed behind.

Zhao Wu'an led the donkey and followed slowly. Unexpectedly, the donkey suddenly let out an earth-shattering snort, its mouth moved violently, and then its forelimbs were straight, and its hind legs kicked up suddenly, and it kicked its feet.

Zhao Wu'an smiled bitterly. Su Qinghe, who was in front, turned around and smiled for the first time: "Zhao Jushi's treasure horse doesn't seem to give much face. The tone was light, not at all hostile. It seems that Zhao Wu'an's performance at the Land Temple has been fully recognized by him.

Zhao Wu'an said unshockedly: "Of course, it is not as good as the royal horse of the imperial court." ”

Hearing this, Su Qinghe leaned down and dismounted, and said to those officials who didn't know why: "As Zhao Wu'an said, Su also thinks that there should be a dungeon in this place, and the main hall should be at the foot of the mountain. If you want to find out the real culprit, you have to go to the ground. Please also ask you to open the road first, and Qinghe will accompany Zhao Jushi to stop for a while. ”

Everyone looked at each other. Even An Guangmao, who has always been indifferent, moved his beard and calmed down, but it didn't mean that he didn't feel curious at all. An Qing was used to walking around, and she didn't stop her steps, just turned around in three steps, and looked at the two men with confusion.

The distance slowly widened.

Zhao Wu'an was not in a hurry or annoyed, and reached out and gently pulled the reins. The speed of the donkey is not fast, but the strength is great, even if it is a strong man who eats one stone per meal, it is difficult to say that he can drag this stupid donkey.

Su Qinghe said with concern: "It can be seen that it loves donkeys." ”

Zhao Wu'an nodded and said, "Yes, I made an exception when I went down the mountain this time." On the mountain, I often wish I could cook and eat it, but unfortunately my uncles stopped me. ”

Su Qinghe choked.

Zhao Wu'an said with a smile: "You can go first, it's okay." ”

Su Qinghe was silent.

Seeing that the people in front of him were nearly twenty zhang away, Su Qinghe suddenly raised his hand and pulled out the long sword behind him. The sword flowers flowed, and the sun was shining brightly, and in an instant, it was firmly on Zhao Wu'an's fragile neck.

Zhao Wu'an's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't even raise his eyes, just staring at the donkey.

"You're not a layman at all. Su Qinghe said coldly.

"I really am. Zhao Wu'an was innocent, "You go to Jiuda Temple and ask, which monk doesn't know me, and which one hasn't been hit by me throwing stones back then." ”

"You've shown murderous intent three times since you met me. Su Qinghe was unmoved, but said coldly, "When I haven't dismounted yet, it's the first time; I heard Miss An Jia say that I have lived in Qingdi Township for a long time, and now I am in a position, and there is another time; when I talk about letting them transport the corpse back to comfort the relatives, the flow of qi in your body is so violent, I think even Antioch is probably aware of it." ”

Zhao Wu'an's voice was lazy: "Your Excellency is too worried." Wu'an has never studied martial arts since he was a child. ”

"No way. Su Qinghe insisted.

Zhao Wu'an tightened the big box on his back and smiled at Su Qinghe: "The people can't fight the officials, and the officials are forced to rebel." I didn't expect Su Yishi to be such a faint official. ”

Su Qinghe's forehead was exposed, and his sword-wielding hand was thunderous.

Zhao Wu'an remained silent.

The ancient sword Qingfeng reversed, and Su Qinghe clenched the sword into a fist with his backhand, and slammed it into Zhao Wu'an's shoulder. Zhao Wu'an flew out like a puff of straw, falling heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

This vulnerable posture was something Su Qinghe had never expected.

Even if Zhao Wu'an practiced martial arts, his already lame ability to cover up the killing machine became worthless under the keen perception brought by Su Qinghe's family inheritance method. However, the blow just now really knocked Zhao Wu'an out of the air, and in this process, Zhao Wu'an did not leak any qi.

There is only one possibility, that is, Zhao Wu'an has indeed never practiced martial arts. As for the strange killing machine, it has not appeared before. Su Qinghe's family passed down the Goose Lake Mental Method, and his perception of changes in the outside world is too keen, and he has only practiced for a few years, so it is reasonable for him to misjudge.

Su Qinghe relaxed slightly, but he didn't have the idea of reaching out to pull Zhao Wu'an, turned his head and walked towards the foot of the mountain, and said from afar: "It's Qinghe who misunderstood." I'm sorry. ”

Zhao Wu'an, who was punched for no reason, got up, patted the dust on his body, sighed, carried the box, walked over and touched the back of the stupid donkey, and sighed: "It's really infuriating, people are good and are bullied." ”

The donkey squeaked twice, as if in response to his words.

Zhao Wu'an stroked the mane on the donkey's back, narrowed his eyes, and shook his head imperceptibly.

"Less than six grades. Lao Su, I didn't expect you to do a low job as an official and even worse in martial arts. ”
