Gao Zhen Gao Hou Ye died quite strangely, but he sneaked into Nancheng when the battle between the two societies was in full swing, but it was tantamount to killing himself.

Everyone said that the parents of the two parties asked the leaders of the community not to enter the southern city, and this rule was actually not good for the club.

Shangguan is a girl, she is only curious about the taverns, casinos, and brothels in Nancheng, and she is relatively easy to restrain herself, and the sons and daughters of the other faction are different, hiding in Beicheng is similar to squatting in prison, and it didn't take long for them to miss the hustle and bustle of Nancheng, impatient, like a stag in heat.

The first person who couldn't help it was Gao Houye, he probably felt that the end of the year was relatively peaceful, and neither side would arrange murder, so he only took a personal servant, went out of the city from the east gate, made a big circle, entered the south city through a gap in the city wall, and went straight to the house of a familiar prostitute in Liuren Lane to have fun.

The two died together, realizing the long-cherished wish of the same fate of the mandarin duck, and several experts came to check afterwards and agreed that the weapon of killing was the sword.

There are few masters of sword in the entire Biyu City, and there are even fewer people who have a grudge against Marquis Gao, so one of his best friends, the sword sacrifice Ye Shilang, released a word on Chinese New Year's Eve, the killer must be Yang Huan, the killer of the Kunshe Society, and he asked for a duel, the time is the ninth day of the first month, and the location is Rouge Forest.

Gao Hou Ye is not an ordinary swordsman, as soon as the news of his death spread, Shibao sent people to Nancheng to investigate, and the eleven young killers, including Shangguan Yushi, had to explain their whereabouts at the time of the crime.

The five assassination teams were all outside to investigate the enemy's situation at that time, and there were partners in the same group to testify, except for Liuhua, he has always been alone, but he is only good at bows and arrows, not to mention using swords, and even his knife skills are average, so the biggest suspicion is still focused on Huan Nu and Henu.

Both of them have swords, and their relationship is warm, so their testimony is not credible, but there is no more evidence that Yang Huan is a murderer, especially about the fact that he can use swords, the people in the stone castle don't believe it, if he really knows superb swordsmanship, he should have shown it in Dongbao a long time ago, and he would not have been forced into danger several times, and once he almost died under the Mustang knife in the monthly test.

Ye Shilang swore that Yang Huan was a famous swordsman, and it could be seen from the posture of holding the sword that this statement was not small, and many people felt that Yang Huan held the hilt of the sword in the Rouge Forest for a while, after all, when the swords were put together, confusion was also possible.

But the Qiu Society seized on this murder, and the head of the society believed that the murderer must be someone from the Kun Society, and since there were only two people in the Kun Society with swords, the murderer could only be one of the two.

The saliva lawsuit lasted for two days, and finally Shangguan Ru got angry, this is war, killing people is common, since Gao Hou Ye entered Nancheng, killing him is not a violation, so she accepted Ye Shilang's challenge.

Gu Shenwei suddenly fell into a dilemma.

He hoped to meet a master to practice swordsmanship, but he preferred to do it in secret, he had already lied to the people sent by the fort that he didn't know how to swordsmanship, and suddenly killed people in public with magical swordsmanship, he couldn't fulfill this lie.

There is also an option to duel with a knife, the swordsmanship of the "Book of the Dead" and the Jinpeng knife method have something in common in some aspects, and the method of using the sword can be completely transferred to the narrow knife, usually he and the lotus girl do the same, but Ye Shilang is a master, a master competition, and the difference is the difference between life and death.

Gu Shenwei's speed was always a little slower when he used the knife, and it was this little difference that outsiders couldn't see, which might cost him his life.

Shangguan Ru believed in Huan Nu's strength and had already accepted the duel for him, Gu Shenwei had no choice but to come to Beicheng and carefully tell the tenth prince that he was a killer, and the ring competition was not his strong point.

Shangguan Ru was as interested in the duel as before, "Don't worry." She comforted, "I've already thought of this, the time and place of the duel are determined by him, the way is arranged by me, I have a way, you two are not competing in public, but the whole Rouge Forest is used as a contesting venue, just like the duel between you and Mustang back then." ”

During the apprentice's slaughter, Huan Nu and Mustang once had a duel, tracking each other through the ruins of a house to find an opportunity to attack, and the duel was stopped by the king at the last moment.

Gu Shenwei can only accept it, and he can't use a sword, in order to show that his matching sword is purely a souvenir, he has to leave the sword outside before entering the Rouge Forest, but in this duel, he finally regained some advantages, which can slightly make up for the lack of sword skills.

The lotus girl thought of many ways for him, such as hiding the sword in the forest in advance, and then using the knife to cover up after killing Ye Shilang.

Gu Shenwei didn't accept it, firstly, he felt that this trick might be discovered, and secondly, he didn't want to rely on it in a duel, once he thought about getting that sword, it would destroy his will to kill.

A duel was inevitable, and not only the Kunqiu Society, but also the residents of Biyu City strongly supported this duel, not only to watch the excitement, but also to end the bloodshed in the city by killing people outside the city.

So suddenly, Ye Shilang's revenge has become a contest of strength between two factions, a swordsman, a killer who does not admit that he is a swordsman, will determine who is the most powerful emerging force in Nancheng, "Kun" or "Qiu".

Things were developing so quickly that most people's attention turned to the duel on the ninth day of the first lunar month, and even the atmosphere of the New Year was diluted, not to mention the cause of the duel - the death of Gao Houye.

Gu Shenwei was also carried away, just thinking about how to hide the swordsmanship, and it was not until the third day of junior high school that he suddenly woke up to the fact that this duel was inexplicable, and both sides should concentrate on finding the real murderer.

Thinking about it like this, he immediately felt that there was something wrong with Ye Shilang, and as soon as the Marquis Gao died, he couldn't wait to take revenge, as if he wanted to cover up something.

He inquired, and the result puzzled him, Ye Shilang and Gao Hou Ye are the same brothers, they have been friends for many years, one martial arts and one literature, complement each other, and they are very famous in Biyu City, the key is that the two do not have any conflict of interest, Ye Shilang does not like money and is not lustful, and he is not from the same country as Gao Hou Ye, let alone involved in the palace struggle, no matter from which point of view, Ye Shilang has no reason to kill, which is why Gao Hou Ye died of a sword wound, but no one doubts Ye Shilang.

The suspicion was broken as soon as it started, and Gu Shenwei decided to pursue it.

Shangguan Ru didn't understand this very much, "Duel is a duel, why do you want to find out the real culprit for the enemy? If you want me to say, whoever kills is the same, just take this opportunity to completely extinguish the prestige of the Qiu Society." ”

"That's right, but we have to know who is behind the ghost, this person wants to fish in troubled waters, and he can't be so cheap. Gu Shen thinks that he is a veteran of "fishing in troubled waters", so he is very vigilant about this.

In this way, the duel on the ninth day of the first lunar month remained unchanged, Gu Shen was allowed to use the remaining six days to find the real murderer, and he had to squeeze out time to practice knife skills and familiarize himself with the terrain of the rouge forest, even he himself didn't understand why he wanted to be so serious, but he just couldn't bear the enemy's darkness and my light, this was a killer's instinct, and he regarded hiding in the shadows as his privilege.

On the afternoon of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Shenwei and Shangguan Ru met with Zhong Heng, the commander of the city patrol, because the body had been put into the coffin, and if he wanted to know the details of the killing of Gao Houye, he could only find this nominal magistrate of Biyucheng.

Zhong Heng was as enthusiastic as ever, especially to the tenth prince, and even treated her as a guest, and completely regarded her as the young master of Jinpeng Castle between his words, and never revealed the slightest intention of dealing with the little girl, which made Shangguan Ru very proud, and he was more interested in tracking down the real murderer.

Zhong Heng saw the corpse at the scene, "The wound is in front, a sword pierces the heart, it must be a sword wound, both of them are the same, the person who started it is an expert." If you want me to say, this is not the style of a stone castle. ”

The two-year-old boy knew what Zhong Duwei meant, if it was the killer of Jinpeng Castle, the wound should be located behind the side, but Gu Shenwei knew that there was a killer of Jinpeng Castle who was also used to piercing the heart with a sword, and that was the Lotus Girl, but on the day of the crime, the Lotus Girl was with him, and there was no time to commit the crime.

The doors and windows of the scene were closed, and the servants, maids, and mother-in-law did not hear anything.

I didn't ask for any particularly valuable clues, and when I was about to say goodbye, Zhong Heng mentioned a trivial matter that no one paid attention to, probably he also felt that it was not worth mentioning, so he didn't say it until the end, "By the way, there is one thing, it may or may not be useful, I found a few raw rice grains on the bed, and the maid-in-law said that she didn't know where it came from, the kitchen is downstairs, and the raw rice will not be brought upstairs, but you also know that they may ...... What tricks are you playing? ”

The two thanked Lord Duwei and came to the wide and neat street of Beicheng, Shangguan Ru suddenly asked, "What tricks are they playing?"

"I don't know, this adult always speaks so slurredly. Gu Shenwei's face was a little red, he really didn't know what the "trick" was, but he could guess what it was about.

Shangguan Ru looked puzzled, Gu Shenwei was really worried that she would ask everyone when she went back, so she had to say: "It's a brothel, it's nothing good, don't know." ”

Shangguan Ru nodded solemnly, as if he was very sophisticated, and asked again as he walked, "I heard that you also have a brothel." ”

Gu Shenwei's face turned even redder, and he was even a little flustered, he was most afraid that someone would mention this matter, not to mention that Shangguan Rucai was a little girl in her teens, "That was a joke that my master used to make nonsense." ”

"There are many brothels in Nancheng, and there are several of them that pay us protection money, so it's nothing, it's just a business. ”

Gu Shenwei suddenly realized that Shangguan Ru was not an ordinary little girl, she was the daughter raised by King Dubu as a son, and her performance was a little out of shape, "Yes, and you can collect a lot of information by using a brothel." ”

Gu Shenwei warned himself that he should always treat Shangguan Ru as the tenth son.

As a result, the next sentence of the tenth prince made Gu Shenwei flustered, "Have you played any tricks in the brothel?"

"No, no, no. ”

Gu Shenwei waved his hand again and again, embarrassed not like a killer, which made Shangguan Ru laugh.

Gu Shenwei was annoyed in his heart, what he wanted to do most now was to track down the real murderer, not to be laughed at by a little girl.

"Marquis Gao died in a brothel, and if you want to find out the truth, you have to go there. ”

The topic turned here, and Gu Shenwei breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, I'll go tomorrow." ”

"Well, let's go together. ”

Gu Shenwei stopped and looked at Shangguan Ru in surprise, it was not a good idea to bring the tenth prince to Nancheng.
