When they returned from the yamen, the crowd was sullen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This He Ning obviously has something to hide, but he can't blame him, after all, the current identities of the four of them are not the same as before, and it is also appropriate that people refuse to divulge the secrets of the yamen, but why don't they let us help? After all, they are seniors of the same academy, even if they can't help, they can let me wait by the side to help, which can be regarded as an experience.

Since this road is impassable, looking for other ways over there, Qin Hexuan proposed to go to the tavern, and everyone nodded in agreement, after all, the tavern in the rivers and lakes is the most informative, and it is the best place to listen to the news. Under the leadership of Xia Qingcang, the four of them came to the largest tavern in Quzhou.

Stepping on the door, I saw that it was not like other shops, and there were some people in the tavern, and some people gathered on each table to drink and chat. It seems that this tavern has become the only relatively normal place in Quzhou City.

As soon as Qin Hexuan and the others sat down, they had already heard the people at the next table talking about the changes that had happened in Quzhou.

"Do you know? Three days ago, the daughter of the old king of the butcher shop also suffered. People are just such a lone seedling, they have been the pearl of their palms since they were children, and now when they are gone, the whole family has collapsed. One said softly.

"It must be that they themselves don't take good care of their children, and in the current situation, they dare to let their daughter go out alone. Another said.

"I heard that I wanted to buy a birthday gift for Lao Wang and went out secretly. One said.

"Hey, pity Lao Wang, his daughter is indeed very filial. The other sighed.

"Didn't you say that the murderer picked out the woman in red? Lao Wang's daughter couldn't wear red clothes even if she went out on the street, and no one dared to wear red clothes now. One asked curiously.

"I don't know, I heard that when they found the body, it was wearing a red dress, but it was torn from the navel down. Another said.

"Hey, what a beast. Why is it that the government has not said anything until now. If it goes on like this, how can anyone in Quzhou dare to continue to stay. One sighed.

"I really can't stay in this ghost place, I have asked my daughter-in-law to pack up and go back to her parents' house for a while, and then consider coming back when the wind is over. The other sighed.

At this moment, a person ran outside the tavern and shouted at a person who was chatting just now: "Oh no, Lao Wu, your daughter-in-law has an accident, on the side of the pavilion on the outskirts of the city, go and take a look." ”

When the man heard this, he clanged, and the wine glass fell to the ground, and without looking back, he rushed out of the door.

And Qin Hexuan and the four of them immediately chased out.

The pavilion on the outskirts of the city has already gathered a group of people. Lao Wu squeezed into the crowd, and when he saw his wife hanging on the tree, he cried bitterly.

I saw a woman in a red dress with her hands tied to a tree, her clothes on her chest and below her navel had been torn, her left breast had been cut off, her back was full of whip marks, and the bones were faintly visible.

Seeing this corpse, Jing Xinyao and Xia Xue were both disgusted and didn't dare to look at it directly. And Qin Hexuan had already jumped into the crowd and carefully observed the corpse.

At this time, He Ning had already arrived with the catcher, and in order to avoid the spread of panic, he hurriedly evacuated the crowd after arriving, calmed Lao Wu's mood, and let them go home. At this time, He Ning saw a person standing in front of the corpse in a daze, and after recognizing it as Qin Hexuan, who had come to the yamen before, he shouted: "Boy, don't come to the scene of the riot!

Seeing that Qin Hexuan was still standing and turning a deaf ear to his words, as soon as the anger came, He Ning sent someone to pull him away, seeing this, Jing Xinyao and Xia Xue said in unison: "What are you doing!"

Xia Qingcang was stunned for a moment, and then he also stood in front of Qin Hexuan to block the official errand.

"How many of you want to make trouble? Let me tell you, you are only students of Tianzhao Academy now, and you are not officially arrested, and you can't touch the criminal case without the guidance of your mentor, so be honest with me. He Ning said angrily.

"Punish the evil and eliminate the traitor, regardless of you and me, we just want to do our best to solve problems for you, I wonder if He Zhutou can tell us the details?" At this time, Qin Hexuan had already come back to his senses and asked He Ning respectfully.

"This case is not something you can manage, leave quickly. With a wave of his hand, He Ning asked the catcher to continue to drive Qin Hexuan and the four of them away.

Qin Hexuan shook his head and could only leave with everyone first.

On the way, Qin Hexuan had been silent, and Xia Xue asked cautiously: "Brother Hexuan, what's wrong with you?" You were also in such a quiet daze in front of the corpse just now, we were all worried about what you saw, and you were distracted..."

"It's nothing, it's just that the mood is a little heavy, do you know how this woman died?" Qin Hexuan sighed.

"Did you find anything?" Because the scene was too terrifying just now, Jing Xinyao didn't dare to look at the details of the corpse, so she asked Qin Hexuan.

"He had his left breast cut off alive and whipped to death, possibly at the hands of the murderer. What a beastly act!" Qin Hexuan said angrily.

"This is a beast, it's not as good as a pig and a dog!" Xia Qingcang clenched his fists and said angrily.

"It's a pity that He Zhutou won't let us interfere. Xia Xue sighed.

"If you don't let it be managed, you have to take care of it, can you watch it?" Qin Hexuan's eyes were firm and asked everyone.

"Well, we've got that in mind. Xia Qingcang also said firmly.

Then Qin Hexuan told everyone about a plan, that is, since He Ning refused to tell the truth, he would sneak into the county office at night and peek at the case file, this task was completed by himself and Xia Qingcang, and Jing Xinyao and Xia Xue were women after all, and they were potential prey of the murderer, so they should try to act as little as possible in the middle of the night.

So, after nightfall, Qin Hexuan and Xia Qingcang put on night clothes, staggered patrols and caught fast, and flew into the official mansion.

Leaving Jing Xinyao and Xia Xue at home, in the same room, waiting for Qin and Xia to return. Time passed minute by minute, and the two sat together without saying a word, the atmosphere was a little awkward, not at all like good sisters who had nothing to say before.

What is it that stands in the way of the two, creating this barrier?

As early as after Qin Hexuan helped Xia Xue go into the mountains to collect medicine, and finally returned from a serious injury, Jing Xinyao had already seen that Xia Xue was interested in Qin Hexuan. And Xia Xue also noticed the change in Jing Xinyao's attitude towards Qin Hexuan from Jing Xinyao's behavior after returning to the mountain this time. So invisibly, the two have faintly become emotional opponents from the former good sisters, and they are also making people.

Finally, Jing Xinyao broke the silence and said, "Sister Xue'er, you better rest early, I'll wait for them to come back." ”

"It's okay, Sister Xinyao, when I used to read medical books in the academy, I often stayed up late when I read about selflessness. Xia Xue replied.

After two sentences, the two were silent again.

After a while, Jing Xinyao said: "I heard Hexuan say that Sister Xue'er's medical skills are extremely high, and she can be ranked among the top doctors, she learned such a stunt as a silver needle puncture as early as a year ago, so she must be on a higher level now, right?"

Hearing Jing Xinyao mention this matter, Xia Xue recalled the past on Tianzhao Peak back then, remembered Qin Hexuan's broad and warm shoulders, and remembered Qin Hexuan's strong internal force swimming in her body, her expression was in a trance, and she laughed in a low voice: "No, it's Brother Hexuan who won the award." ”

"It's you, Sister Xin Yao, I heard that your swordsmanship has reached the ultimate level, and when you were in Xuzhou, Brother Hexuan was easily defeated by your sword. After another moment of silence, Xia Xue came back to her senses and smiled at Jing Xinyao.

As soon as she heard this, Jing Xinyao's cheeks turned red, and she wondered if Qin Hexuan even mentioned that paragraph to Xia Xue?

Suddenly seeing Xia Xue staring at herself, Jing Xinyao hurriedly pulled back from her memories and said with a smile: "No, I was really fortunate that Hexuan saved my life that time, otherwise I would have been confused by the smoke." ”

"Sister, do you like Brother Hexuan?" Suddenly, Jing Xinyao couldn't imagine that Xia Xue would come up with a sentence coldly, so straightforward and unabashed.

"Uh......" Jing Xinyao didn't know how to answer for a while, so she changed the topic and asked, "Does my sister also like Hexuan?"

"Well, since I was very young, I have liked Brother Hexuan, Brother Hexuan is humorous and informal, although he is usually naughty and naughty, but he is not stable in the face of big rights and wrongs, he is the only one other than my brother who broke into my heart. Xia Xue said.

Jing Xinyao didn't expect Xia Xue to be so straightforward tonight, completely opening her heart and telling her feelings and righteousness. I couldn't answer for a while.

Xia Xue continued: "In the days I spend with Brother Hexuan, I will feel inexplicably happy and happy, as if I am in the center of the world, and everything has become so beautiful. Even if Brother Hexuan is not around, every time I think of him, my heart will be filled with tenderness. I guess that's what it feels like to like someone. Does my sister feel this way?"

"Well, uh, uh, probably. Jing Xinyao still didn't think about how to answer, and replied vaguely. After all, Jing Xinyao is a few years older than Xia Xue, coupled with her extensive social experience, she naturally has more concerns, and she is also buried deeper in her feelings.

And Xia Xue seemed to have entered the stage of forgetting herself, and she didn't know if she heard Jing Xinyao's answer, so she continued to her own thoughts: "After that, I made up my mind, I must be by Brother Hexuan's side, even if he doesn't have me in his heart, I won't give up, my love for him will be unswerving, even if I die one day, I hope to die in his arms, in that case, even if I die, I think it's the most beautiful thing in the world." ”

"Sister Xinyao, do you think I'm sick like this?" and then Xia Xue asked Jing Xinyao.

From Xia Xue's eyes, Jing Xinyao saw a persistence, that was a kind of pure love, snow-white and flawless, just like its name.

Hey, Sister Xue'er, my sister doesn't dare to tell you, my sister also unconsciously likes your brother Hexuan, but my sister doesn't want you to cry sadly, how contradictory and painful my sister is at this time.

"Fool, how can you be sick? You are a master disciple of the Holy Hand Doctor Immortal, can't you be cured if you are sick? Don't think nonsense, it's not too early, let's lie down and rest first, I really like your brother Hexuan, then you can tell him in person." Finally, Jing Xinyao thought of the answer and said to Xia Xue.

At this moment, the two of them suddenly heard that the silent night was broken by a noise, and that direction was the yamen!

Oops, Hexuan and Qingcang have an accident!
