"The whole world is not the king's land, even the monarch of the Western Regions has to obediently pay tribute to our Song court, I don't believe that I can't control you at the foot of this world! Even if I have resigned, I am still a subject of the Great Song Emperor, and I still have the right to punish traitors!"

Xiao Wuxian said this sentence very majestically, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were cold, and he had an inviolable momentum.

As the moon rose, the howling cold wind swept in through the cracked window again, and the cloak on Xiao Wuxian's body fluttered with it.

Inlaid Silver took the opportunity to run to the window that was leaking due to cracking: "Don't believe Boss Cheng's words, she slept so deeply, how do you know if anyone has come in here." Your Excellency, take a closer look here...... Such a big hole, what obvious evidence!"

After a disdainful sneer, Xiao Wuxian tapped the remaining fragments with his scabbard and said, "This is obviously broken from the inside, someone must have done this on purpose to create the illusion that someone had entered the door and killed someone." It's a pity that the more he does this, the more he proves what it means to be three hundred taels of silver here. ”

"I said I didn't kill anyone, I didn't kill anyone!" couldn't find an excuse for a while, and the inlaid silver actually roared at the top of his throat.

"If I say I don't believe it, I don't believe it!" Xiao Wuxian's answer was also very decisive.

After the two argued for a while, Ruan Zhinan, who couldn't stand it, pointed to the guest room on the second floor and put forward his opinion: "Since it has been proved that the perpetrators are in this inn, why don't you call them out and check them one by one? ”

Hearing this, the inlay seemed to say something, but after three silences, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips, and only acquiesced in the suggestion with a nod.

Obviously, Xiao Wuxian also agrees with this opinion: "Since this is the case, I will let you 'die' to understand, and you will say that I have wronged you." ”

A few people stayed until dawn, when all the guests got up for breakfast.

When the nineteen living people gathered in the hall, Xiao Wuxian, who was like a statue, stood at the door with a sword and shouted, "Everyone has heard me clearly, last night the gold inlay died next to the wine rack for no reason, and now it is proved that it was the guest who lived in the inn.

In Xia Xiao Wuxian, the former commander appointed by Emperor Renzong of the Great Song Dynasty, and now with the permission of Boss Cheng, he has the obligation to investigate the case and give justice to the deceased!"

Xiao Wuxian has a sentence that is very right, the whole world is not the king's land. Whether it is a minister who enters the court as an official and enjoys the benefits, or a swordsman who is happy in the rivers and lakes...... They are all in a piece of land, with a blue sky overhead.

No matter how carefree the people in the rivers and lakes are, in the face of this commander from the imperial court, there is still a trace of awe in their hearts.

But the stakes were high,1 and soon an objection was raised: "How do you know that the murderer must be from the inn? The city of the Western Regions is only fifty miles away, and it is not difficult to come in and kill someone!"

"That's right! The window is so big that you can't see it? Maybe someone broke the window and killed someone and escaped!"

“......”

In the midst of everyone's discussions, Xiao Wuxian's sword poked at the cracked window without warning, buzzing: "Everyone, don't be impatient, I have my own way to prove it to you!"

No one raised any objections, and I think it was also a tacit acquiescence to Xiao Wuxian's next investigation.

While chewing on steamed buns, while scanning the surrounding environment, Ruan Zhinan asked curiously: "They all seem to be very calm, including that Aunt Dai Chun...... I'm not afraid that I'll be a suspect at all. ”

"They're not afraid, are you afraid?" Ke Liuyun asked jokingly.

"I didn't kill anyone, so there's nothing to be afraid of. Ruan Zhinan replied bluntly.

He Zhi, who swallowed a large sip of wine, asked with a smile: "That's right, everyone didn't kill anyone, so naturally they are not afraid of interrogation." ”

Even so, Ruan Zhinan still secretly motioned everyone to look in the direction of Dai Chun with his eyes: "But I always feel that the death of the gold inlay really has nothing to do with his brother, but Dai Chun looks a little suspicious." But when I looked horizontally, she seemed to be eating with more relish than we did. ”

He Zhi said: "Maybe she's really not a murderer!"

"She is!" Gu Huaiyan and Cheng Yinni replied in unison.

Before the two of them finished speaking, a large table of people took the opportunity to focus all their eyes on the two of them, as if they were looking at some rare treasure.

After quickly throwing the steamed bun in his hand into the bowl, Xiang Yang, who was the most curious, squeezed between Gu Huaiyan and Cheng Yinni: "Why are the two sons so sure?

After glancing at each other, Gu Huaiyan said slowly: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked, let's wait for the commander of Xiao Du to answer your doubts one by one!"

Cheng Yinnie returned the bowl containing half a steamed bun to Xiang Yang: "That is, let's listen to the commander of Xiao Du explain to us the process of solving the case while eating, which is extremely rare...... Also, wasting food is not a good habit. ”

“...... Thank you Cheng Gongzi for reminding me, Xiang Yang knows. In this way, Xiang Yang, who was holding the steamed bun, got up and returned to his original position.

At the same time, the old craftsman who came to repair the window had also arrived outside the inn, but he couldn't enter because of Xiao Wuxian, and finally had to lie down on the cracked window and send a "help" message to Cheng Ci.

"Boss Cheng, I'm Agui! Hurry up and let this guest officer make way for me, otherwise how can I go in and mend the windows!"

After turning his head and glancing at the old craftsman who was nearly seventy years old, Xiao Wuxian asked lightly, "Can't this window be repaired outside?"

The old craftsman replied with a smile: "This guest officer is really good at joking, and if I can repair it outside, I won't have to go in." ”

Xiao Wuxian said, "Are you sure there is no way to repair it outside?" or do you not have that ability?"

As soon as he heard this, the old craftsman immediately pulled his face down, and he had the tendency to rely on the old man and sell the old: "The old man has lived here for more than 70 years, and this craft of repairing the house is a family heirloom...... How and where...... I can see it at a glance. ”

After a while, Cheng Ci's voice sounded spontaneously: "Xiao Gongzi, don't you forget, this is not the Central Plains with a quiet environment, but a desert where no grass grows...... Even during the day, sand storms can strike suddenly, making it difficult to be caught off guard.

Otherwise, why would I ask someone to go into the city early in the morning to invite the old craftsman over, not for the sake of all of you. ”
