Since I met you, people are dying every day

There is such a boundary in the south of the Yangtze River.

The terrain is flat, and as far as the eye can see is desolate loess, mixed with sand, gravel and rubble. The only few trees are crooked, and a gust of autumn wind blows, and a few dead leaves fall slowly.

But in such a place, there is such an elegant and gorgeous big family house that is completely inconsistent with the environment, with carved beams and painted pillars, rockery and flowing water.The courtyard was densely surrounded by guards, and the saber at his waist reflected brightly.

Xia Shu stood facing the main entrance of the courtyard.He is slightly fat, fair and refined, and his age cannot be seen.Wearing an azure robe, although it is neat, it can also be seen that it is old.The black cloth shoes on the feet are also clean.What made the guards vigilant was that he had a sword slung across his shoulder.

He has been standing for a long time.He had walked for a long time and was already very tired.But he remained motionless and stood upright.

"Don't wait, the master won't be back before sunset today." The leader in the nursing yard finally couldn't help but speak.

"Then I'll wait until the sunset." Xia Tian Shu's voice was hoarse, but calm and soothing.

The leader did not speak, but took half a step back, clenched the handle of the knife to gather himself.This must be no ordinary person.he thought so.

"Why haven't you gone in yet? Don't tell me you've been waiting for an hour!" Suddenly a voice came from far away, Xia Shu raised his head slightly, "You also know that you ate noodles for more than an hour."

It was Xia Shu's movements that they realized that a black figure was approaching rapidly in the air and lightly landed in front of him. This was a tall, thin young man with no weapons on his body, but his lightness was enough to shock people.He was wearing a moon white robe, the color had almost faded, and it was far less clean than Xia Shu's.

"One beggar didn't send away, another one came." A nurse muttered.The leader trembled for a moment, Xia Shu didn't respond, and the person who had just landed looked up at them.

Eyes as cold as a knife.

No one spoke anymore, and no one could speak.

"You shouldn't have done this." Xia Shu said.The condemnation was not very serious, he realized it himself, walked over and pushed away the corpses in the nursing yard, each of them was wounded in the chest, and the blood kept gushing out.

No one knew when Zhou Yi moved, the person who saw him move was already dead.

Zhou Yi casually pulled up the sleeve of a nurse, wiped the dagger and put it back in his arms. "Aren't you looking for something? How can they find it if they don't clean up? Waiting for that bald man to come back obediently like you, wouldn't it hurt one more life?"

There was a clear disapproval in his eyes, as if he was saying that killing that bald Wang would not be a big deal to him.Xia Shu seemed convinced by these words, fiddled with the door a few times and opened it.

"Hey, it's really impressive." Zhou Yi squeezed in, looking enviously at the pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard, "We really don't take anything else with us? Anyway, these are all people's fat and people's ointment." Xia Shu dragged him away , "Stop talking nonsense."

It took a stick of incense for the two to come out, Xia Shu had a mahogany box under his armpit.They walked away without even looking at the dead body.

Recently, a major event happened in Suiyang Academy.I don't know who slipped into the courtyard and left a wooden box in front of the statue of Confucius. The head of the mountain opened the wooden box and took it out, but it turned out to be a "Preface to the Collection of Lanting". It is a true copy of the long-lost Zhuge Zhuge of the Tang Dynasty.

The academy obtained the Feilai Hengbao, and when it was reported to the officials, it was naturally treasured as the treasure of the town courtyard, but the family who lost the treasure never made it known.

This baby came at a strange time.After a little inquiring, the good man found out that a few days ago, more than a hundred nursing homes of the wealthy businessman Wang Guojun in Suzhou were killed, and blood flowed like a river.

Zhou Yi sat on the roof of the Huancai Pavilion and played the flute.

The Huancai Pavilion is Chunlou, and the headliner of the Huancai Pavilion is Leng Hui, who is drinking tea with Xia Shu in the house.

Zhou Yi had already played a few tunes, and the moon came out. It was full and round.Zhou Yi put down the wooden flute.He looked down at the scene inside the house.

Xia Shu is still drinking tea, the tea is not hot, but sweat is profuse all over his body.The faint fragrance keeps drilling into the nose, the sound of silk and bamboo is faintly visible, and the face is blushing.He quickly picked up the tea bowl and took a big sip.

"Master, drink slowly." Leng Hui said softly, flicking her long sleeves, she refilled the tea for him.

As the name suggests, Leng Hui is cold, beautiful and fragrant. Many wealthy gentry and sons in the south of the Yangtze River have spent a lot of money, just asking Leng Hui to smile.Only Xia Shu, a man who is not well-dressed, came to visit on time, but he didn't invite her to compose poems, play the piano or dance, or even drink alcohol.

Leng Hui suddenly felt a little interesting.

"I..." Xia Shu felt that he had finally gathered enough courage. He raised his head and wanted to speak, but when he touched Leng Hui's smiling eyes, he dropped his helmet and armor in an instant, "I will come to see you next time." He ran away He seemed to run away, only to use his lightness kung fu.

"You." Zhou Yi landed precisely in front of him, with an indisputable expression of anger, "Didn't you say it today?"

"I, I don't know what's wrong, I just can't tell." Xia Zhi hesitated and explained. "Let's go to eat noodles?"

Zhou Yi naturally agreed.

Zhou Yi would accompany Xia Shu to drink tea at the Huancai Pavilion, and Xia Shu would naturally accompany Zhou Yi to eat noodles.Besides, he himself doesn't like noodles.

After seven turns and eight turns, I turned to a quieter alley, and there was a small stone bridge far away. Sure enough, there were still lanterns hanging on the noodle stall under the stone bridge.

"Two bowls of noodles, both with poached eggs, and one bowl with green onions..."

"I don't want a bowl." Ah Xiang, the proprietress of the noodle stall, snorted, "Why are you two here again?"

The noodle stall only has a proprietress, not a boss, and she is a beautiful proprietress.

"What's your reluctance to catch up with the business, and besides, didn't you wait for us to open so late?" Zhou Yi said with a playful smile, Ah Xiang's rolling pin was poked over almost instantly, Zhou Yi didn't hide, just looked at it with a smile She raised her eyebrows, her thin face was flushed red, her pair of beautiful eyes were round and round, waiting for her to poke him, Xia Shu pulled him to sit down.

"Here." Ah Xiang angrily slammed two bowls of noodles on the wooden table, adding spring onions to both bowls as usual.

Xia Shu shook his head, let the two of them bicker, and started to eat with his chopsticks.After drinking a full stomach of tea, he was already hungry.

After eating the noodles, Ah Xiang closed the stall, and the three of them walked back together.Ah Xiang lives next door to them.

Ah Xiang is a widow with no children.There was a lot of gossip in front of the widow's house, but after the two of them moved in, those who dared to provoke Axiang broke up.Ah Xiang was originally just a pungent woman, but when she was really bullied, she had no choice but to let go of her voice and curse, and carried a kitchen knife to do the same.Of course, he also hit Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi went back to the house, took off his coat in the dark and lay down, only muttered that he was really tired, but he was silent.

Xia Shu had no choice but to light up wax and wash his face with water. Zhou Yi had already fallen asleep, and he was at his mercy in a daze.He thought for a while, took Zhou Yi's dagger, and dug a piece of the ground. After digging for a while, he hesitated for a moment, then untied a heavy cloth bag from his waist, put it at the bottom of the pit, and filled it back with soil. , Wipe the dagger and put it back in place.

Xia Shu and Zhou Yi are brothers, the master adopted them and taught them kung fu.Tianshu Fangzheng is gentle, and has learned a simple and heavy sword technique. Zhou Yi is impatient, and only learned the most basic kung fu, but he has learned [-]% of his lightness kung fu.In terms of instantly killing heroes, Tianshu is not as good as Zhou Yi, and in terms of fighting alone, Zhou Yi is far inferior to Tianshu.

What they do for a living is, to put it mildly, robbing the rich and giving to the poor, but directly speaking, they are nothing more than thieves, thieves and thieves do not separate their families, and they are only one step away from murder and arson, and they also hurt people's lives.

Xia Shu thought of the corpses of the nurses today, shook his head, and forced himself not to think about it.

"What are you thinking?" Xia Shu couldn't help asking, Zhou Yi had maintained that posture for a long time.

"I think the time is coming soon." Zhou Yi said slowly, without the usual joking tone.

"No!" Xia Shu vetoed it flatly. He knew what Zhou Yi was talking about without thinking about it, but it was impossible without even thinking about it.

Zhou Yi was a little excited, "The king of Xiang is on a tour to the south, isn't this the best time? After waiting for a year and a year, when will we wait? According to me, that kid is cowardly and timid..." He Before he finished speaking, Xia Shu slapped his head heavily, still restless. "What's the matter, I'll tell the truth."

"If you're looking for death, don't rush to grab me!" Tian Shu also got a little anxious, and blurted out a serious sentence.

Zhou Yi broke free from him and walked outside the house.Xia Shu knew where he was going and didn't stop him.

Sure enough, within a short while, there was a long flute sound from the next door, and it started to jump around. "Zhou Yi, you are looking for death! What are you bragging about my old lady's house, be careful, my old lady will report to the police now!"

Xia Shu shook his head and sighed, thinking that even for the sake of Ah Xiang's reputation, he had to force Zhou Yi to propose marriage.

Zhou Yi is actually pretty good, but he only wants to assassinate King Xiang.

King Xiang is the regent.When the emperor came to the throne, he was still a child who was changing his teeth, and the king of Xiang was assisting the government.The king of Xiang is fatuous, and the government is chaotic.Everyone in the world said that sooner or later the little emperor would plan to get rid of King Xiang.

Xia Shu and his master also said the same, so Zhou Yi was asked to wait, but year after year, King Xiang became more and more stupid, but the little emperor had no plans to do anything.Zhou Yi couldn't sit still.

Zhou Yi is an orphan, and his parents are said to have died of fish meat from King Xiang.

"You wait for my old lady! Next time I don't care how much money you get, and my old lady's noodles won't be sold to you!"

Zhou Yi hummed a ditty and came back satisfied. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xia Shu Tijian standing there. He didn't talk nonsense, and the dagger was in his hand instantly.

Xia Shu fights against others, and always carries a sword on his back.Only when he practiced martial arts with Zhou Yi, would he hold the sword in his hand earlier.

Zhou Yi's dagger had swiped past several vital points of his body in an instant, but it couldn't get close to him.Xia Shu's sword has a firm look, leaving no flaws for him.

Zhou Yi was extremely fast, while Xia Shu was extremely slow.But every time he made a move, he was expected, and the dagger hit the sword with a clang.

Zhou Yi was a little anxious. When he was anxious, it was when Xia Shu made his moves the slowest.

"Bastard! A bunch of useless trash! If you can't catch that dog brother, bring your head up to see me!" The Hangzhou mansion was in chaos.The magistrate was very angry.At the time when the King of Hunan was on his tour to the south, such a big event happened.Even if Wang Fushang didn't want to say anything, the hundreds of corpses in the nursing home had to go through the government's door to be buried. Now it's a good thing, he doesn't care or ignore it, it's just a joke for people to see.

"My lord, calm down, that brother may not have done this matter." Gu Xuankai persuaded in a low voice.

It was okay if he didn't persuade him, but when he persuaded the governor, he became even angrier, "What do you know? Apart from those two dog brothers, who else in Jiangnan would do such a thankless business so blatantly?"

Gu Xuankai bowed his head and remained silent.He was originally the son of a guilty minister, and the minimum punishment was exile. He asked the magistrate to have an old friend with his father, and found a way to intercede, so he was left in the Hangzhou mansion. Naturally, a commoner has no right to speak.

The magistrate looked at him again, lowering his head and eyebrows, and calmed down a bit, "But you kid has always been knowledgeable, so tell me, how do you think this should be investigated?"

"The other courtyard is located in a remote place. Can anyone see anyone going in that direction along the road? The courtyard is surrounded by land, so can they leave footprints? What conclusions can you draw from an autopsy?" And the ignorance of these issues made the Zhifu's anger come up again. "Okay, okay, then I'll give you the manpower, and let you see how easy it is to investigate a case!"
