Chapter 14: Long Talk (1)
It wasn't until he held the lamp that Liu Jingxuan returned to the county office. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Today he was tired, he wanted to eat something casually and rest in peace, but he found that the county hall was brightly lit. Liu Jingxuan saw his master Xiao Rang talking with a stranger in the lobby.
Murong Jielie saw Liu Jingxuan enter the county government and hurriedly stood up.
Xiao Rang understood and led Murong Jielie out of the lobby together.
Liu Jingxuan looked Murong Jielie up and down, and when he saw that this person was popular, he asked suspiciously, "Your Excellency?"
Xiao Rang hurriedly introduced: "This is Lord Murong Jielie, the first-class guard of the current Holy Master. ā
Xiao Rang introduced Murong Jielie again: "This is Lord Tailiu of my county. ā
Liu Jingxuan was taken aback, hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Xiaguan see Lord Murong." ā
Murong Jielie hurriedly clasped his hands together and said, "Lord Liu, please get up quickly." ā
Liu Jingxuan stood up and said with a smile: "Lord Murong, this is not a place to speak, let's follow the subordinate to the back hall." ā
Murong Jielie said loudly: "Okay, I'll follow Lord Liu." ā
Liu Jingxuan said to Xiao Rang: "Mr. Xiao arranges, I will have a meal with Lord Murong." ā
Xiao Rang answered, turned around and went down to arrange.
Murong Jielie followed Liu Jingxuan to the back hall.
This back hall is a three-room room with one light and two darkness, with a living room in the middle and bedrooms on both sides.
Liu Jingxuan led Murong Jielie to the living room and personally poured a cup of tea for Murong Jielie.
Murong Jielie smiled and said, "I've drunk enough just now, so let's drink it yet." ā
Liu Jingxuan was indeed a little thirsty, so he poured himself a few cups, and drank them all.
Under the reflection of the candlelight, Murong Jielie looked Liu Jingxuan up and down.
He saw that Liu Jingxuan was about thirty years old, his face was as white as jade, and his eyes were bright. There is a slight beard under the chin, the figure is not high or low, and he is dressed in a white robe, polite and full of bookishness.
Liu Jingxuan also looked Murong Jielie up and down.
Murong Jielie is twenty-eight or nineteen years old, and he doesn't look much younger than Liu Jingxuan. Murong Jielie hung the hat behind the door, and then carefully untied a sword from his waist and leaned against the table. The sword is black from the hilt to the scabbard, and an eye is carved on each side of the hilt, which is very eye-catching.
Liu Jingxuan pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Murong came this time, presumably for Lord Guo Yan. Please let me know if you have any requirements. ā
Murong Jielie smiled and said, "Why should Lord Liu be polite. Yes, I am indeed here for Guo Yan. Guo Yan's death is now known to the Holy Lord, and he is very angry. I think Lord Liu also knows that Guo Yan is not an ordinary guard, and his martial arts are very outstanding. I heard that he was broken with a steel knife and killed by his head, and it was expected that the person who wanted to kill him was not an ordinary person. Therefore, the Holy Father issued a secret decree, demanding that the case be thoroughly investigated in Gaoyou County, and asked the Governor of Liangjiang, Lord Ashan, to send someone to cooperate in handling it and arrest the murderer. ā
Liu Jingxuan's face was sad, and he said: "Emperor Shengming, Lord Murong is extremely reasonable. The stakes are very high, and the forces behind the murderer cannot be underestimated. It's a shame to say that Gaoyou County is a land of projectiles. If you want to catch the murderer, Xia Guan is really powerless. ā
Murong Jielie nodded and said, "Then how about asking Lord Liu to tell me the ins and outs of this case?"
Liu Jingxuan was just about to continue, but outside the door, Xiao Rang had already walked in, and two officials followed behind with food boxes.
Xiao Rang smiled and said, "I've made the two adults wait for a long time." This is the meal on the first floor opposite the yamen, coarse tea and light rice, and I hope Lord Murong will forgive me. ā
Xiao Rang instructed the officials to put down the banquet, which were four cool, four hot, one soup, and two Shaoxing flower carvings.
Murong Jie laughed loudly: "Mr. Xiao also knows that he is making good wine. ā
Xiao Rang smiled all over his face and said, "Lord Murong is a hero in the world, how can there be a reason not to drink. Lord Murong and Lord Liu, please use it slowly, and the villain will leave. ā
Liu Jingxuan raised his eyes to look at Murong Jielie.
Murong Jielie understood and said, "I don't think Mr. Xiao is an outsider, how about drinking together?"
Liu Jingxuan also nodded in agreement, and said, "Yes, Mr. Xiao, it's really rude to let me eat with Lord Murong alone." ā
Xiao Rang bowed to Murong Jielie again and said, "The villain is terrified. Lord Murong is the person of the emperor's favor today, and there is no villain's seat in front of Lord Murong. What's more, Lord Murong and Lord Liu have important matters to discuss, and the villain is here, which is inconvenient. ā
Murong Jielie shook his head and said, "Mr. Xiao's words are wrong. Although I have lived in the imperial court for a long time, I am not a pedantic and rigid person. What's more, I'm still a martial arts practitioner, and I'm not used to that kind of formality. This is a private visit, not a court case, how can you be so particular about having a meal. Since I entered this Gaoyou County Office, I found that Mr. Xiao and Lord Liu have an extraordinary relationship. Mr. Xiao also knows what I am doing here. So I also want to ask Mr. Xiao for advice. ā
Xiao Rang smiled and said: "Since the two adults don't dislike it, it's better for the villain to be respectful." The three of them began to push the cups and change the lamps, and greeted each other politely.
The three of them have drunk three rounds and cooked five flavors.
Murong Jielie suddenly put down his wine glass and said, "Lord Liu, I don't think you and I are outsiders, so there is a sentence that I don't vomit or be unhappy. ā
Liu Jingxuan also put down his wine glass and said softly, "Please see me." ā
Murong Jielie glanced at Liu Jingxuan and said, "You don't want to solve the case at all. ā
When Liu Jingxuan heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and his body immediately bounced up from the chair, "Why did your lord say this?"
Murong Jielie smiled mysteriously, stared at Liu Jingxuan's face, and said, "Lord Liu, don't be nervous, please take a seat." There is a catcher like Nangong Xuanyun in your county office, how can you not catch the murderer?"
Liu Jingxuan sat down slowly, and asked suspiciously: "Nangong Xuanyun, who is it?" I only have Jiang Xuanyun here, Jiang Zhutou, I haven't heard of any Nangong Xuanyun." ā
Murong Jielie's face turned pale, and he said in a deep voice: "The head catcher of Guixian County is surnamed Nangong, and his double name is Huangyun, and he is the second son of Nangong Bosu, the owner of Ziyu Mountain Villa. Don't you know that Lord Liu?"
Liu Jingxuan looked at Xiao Rang, and Xiao Rang also looked at Liu Jingxuan, and both of them shook their heads.
Liu Jingxuan asked, "Listen to Lord Murong, you have seen Jiang Huangyun Jiang catching his head before. Ah, no. Is Nangong catching his head?"
Murong Jielie shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before. But I have seen the saber 'Mo Yuan' on Nangong Xuanyun's body. It was a treasure knife, it was the saber of Nangong Bosu, the owner of Purple Jade Villa, and it could be called the treasure of Purple Jade Villa. If it weren't for the son of the owner of the Purple Jade Mountain Villa, how could he afford this Moyuan Treasure Knife. With such a powerful character as Nangong Xuanyun as the head catcher in front of your stage, Lord Liu, no matter how ruthless and cruel the murderer is, he shouldn't be able to solve the case and catch the murderer?"
