Ministers made me a male queen

Jiao Yun couldn't care about Nie Baichang for the time being, so he could only turn around and explain. His eyes fell on the seven corpses, and his brows became more and more wrinkled.

Master Zhou and the others digested the meaning of Jiao Yun's words, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that they really shouldn't rule out this possibility at first.

This time Tao Xutang brought three people, a total of four people, besides Jiao Yun and Nie Baichang, there is also Liu Xiong, a government servant.

Although Liu Xiong felt like Mr. Zhou and the others thought that men were not excluded at the moment, he was still surprised: "My lord, why do you insist on killing love? What if the murderer deliberately pretended to mislead you? After all, there was only a scratch on the face. Maybe the two cross-shaped knives are to shorten the time to escape?"

Tao Xutang patted Liu Xiong's shoulder: "So you just didn't observe carefully, and take a closer look at these seven people, except for the cross-shaped knives on both sides of the chest and face, what else is different?"

Liu Xiong probed and looked for a long time and found nothing wrong. Could it be because the white cloth was only lifted halfway, and the clues were underneath, but Brother Jiao didn't look at anything else?

Master Zhou calmed down now, but he was full of admiration: "As expected, he is an apprentice brought out by Master Tao. He is really young and promising, but he can tell something is wrong at a glance. At first, we just ruled it out as an ordinary serial murder case, but There are not many at all. As more and more people died, we finally found out something that was not quite right. This is also the reason why we guessed the love killing. At that time, it was also because of this that we were more inclined to hate because of love. , to kill these handsome men who are similar to lovers."

Liu Xiong was very curious: "What's wrong?" He still didn't see it.

This time it was Tao Xutang who answered him: "The faces of these seven people."

Liu Xiong stared at it this time, and the first thing he noticed at first glance was the cross-shaped knives on both sides of his face. Because the deceased had been dead for more than a day, the wound on his face was opened. It's scary, but when it first slipped down, it shouldn't be so scary. After that, it's appearance, even if it was cut, it's still not very ugly, enough to imagine that it was pretty good in life.

His eyes moved further down, the only difference was probably that his lips were a little less chapped, bright red and eye-catching, but very abrupt.

Seeing that he hadn't thought of it, Tao Xutang simply pointed out: "It is reasonable to say that these seven people have been dead for so long, but their lips are the most similar to those in life, and they are more ruddy and not so scary. Before they died, they should have been kissed. , or, someone put rouge on their lips. However, it is obvious that the former is more likely, which is why they mistakenly thought it was a woman at first." However, it may also be a man who is killing these people At the last moment before, I put on rouge before kissing, and left a mark at the end, just like these same fatal and cross knives.

Liu Xiong looked at it sharply. If no one reminded him, he would not have noticed it. After such a careful look, it was really different. The first few corpses were probably preserved with lime powder because they were not found. After being preserved, his face was pale and gray, and the color of his lips became more and more different. Presumably Master Zhou and the others didn't notice it at first, but after discovering these clues, they guessed that it might be a murder of love.

Jiao Yun stroked his chin: "Of course, it's not ruled out that the murderer did it on purpose, but no matter what, it still can't be ruled out that it might be a man who killed them. But, Mr. Zhou, why do you insist on asking the adults to bring me here?" He I just thought carefully about the aspects of these seven people. It's not that he is narcissistic. In fact, Mr. Zhou focused on mentioning him in the letter, which has bad intentions.

Mr. Zhou showed embarrassment and guilt, and apologized first with his hand: "I apologize to Jiao Yu here first, I really... have no choice. Because of what happened in the past two months, everyone in Wuchun County is in danger." , especially the good-looking ones, who dare not even go out. The people of our county government have searched for so long and have no clues at all, and the murderer's actions are erratic. Except that these dead people are good-looking and about the same height, really...

Since a month ago, we have been trying to let the people in the yamen play the handsome son-in-law, but in the end...the appearance is not good enough, the murderer is not at all hooked, and there are still people who die again.In addition, there was another accident yesterday, so we can't wait so long. Because the impact of this incident is too great, the higher-ups set a date for me to solve the case.

There are only three days left before the final date, and another one died. If the case cannot be solved within the next three days, the black hat on my head will be small, but these people are innocent, I really... can't bear it!

So this time, Lord Hou invited Master Tao and Jiao Yuzuo to come here, because these people have a little bit of similarity with Jiao Yuzuo, so I boldly guess whether Jiao Wuzuo also looks like the object of the murderer's love and hatred. similar?Don't worry, Jiao Wuzuo, in order to ensure your safety, I have paid a lot of money to invite Abbot Jingxin from Baichan Temple to come here.He is skilled and quite prestigious, and he brought an apprentice here, who will definitely protect Jiao Yu and be thorough. "

If it weren't for the lack of good looks of these people, he definitely didn't want Jiao Wuzuo to take risks. After all, Jiao Wuzuo is a rare young genius.

But his ability is limited, he can only...

After Mr. Zhou finished speaking, he felt an unkind gaze on him. He followed his gaze and shivered when he saw a more handsome young man. He didn't offend this Nie Xiucai, did he?But hearing that Nie Xiucai grew up with Jiao Yuzuo, he lowered his head and touched the cold sweat on his forehead.

Tao Xutang also disapproved of Jiao Yun's adventure, but he could understand Mr. Zhou.

If Mr. Zhou hadn't been handsome enough, I'm afraid he himself was willing to pretend to lure the murderer out, not because he didn't want to.

Even if such a thing happened in Changyang County, he would take the risk himself.

Jiao Yun did not refuse: "I can pretend to lure the murderer out."

"Brother Yun!" Nie Baichang's face changed slightly, and he took a step forward, "I'll replace you."

Jiao Yun: "Nie Xiaobai, are you going to grab this too?"

Nie Baichang: "I'm better than you, I'll do it." He held Jiao Yun's wrist, not afraid of ten thousand but just in case, he didn't want him to take risks.

Jiao Yun deliberately teased him: "I'm heartbroken, brother, I have practiced a few tricks anyway, besides, you are not from the yamen, this is my responsibility. Okay, okay, isn't there Abbot Jingxin and the others guarding you?" ? If it doesn’t work, you follow the adults to protect me in the rear, and if you have any problems, you come to rescue me quickly, don’t worry.”

Nie Baichang didn't speak, he wanted to persuade, but he could see from Jiao Yun's expression that he had already made a decision.

He respects his decision, so he can't speak, but he doesn't want him to take risks...

This kind of contradictory mood until Mr. Zhou's eyes lit up: "Nie Xiucai, are you very skilled?" As he said, his gaze swept over Nie Baichang's face.

Jiao Yun blocked Nie Baichang from behind: "Master Zhou, this is a matter of the yamen, don't involve outsiders." He can take risks because he is doing work for the common people, but Nie Xiaobai is different.

Mr. Zhou quickly waved his hand: "No, no, nothing will happen to Nie Xiucai, that's right...Jiao Wuzuo, you have also seen that these seven dead people look a little like you, so we invite you to play this time, we think Waiting for nine days to follow the murderer to die on ten days, I really can't wait. So I wanted to stimulate... Let the dead come out as soon as possible."

"Stimulate?" Jiao Yun narrowed his eyes, feeling ominous.

Master Zhou coughed: "The master of our county government originally created a tailor-made image for you, Jiao Yuzuo, of a flirtatious and sentimental image of abandoning a woman and having fun and having fun..."

Jiao Yun: "..."

Master Zhou continued: "In order to reflect better, we also specially found a woman for you to cooperate with the performance. The appearance is also first-class, just to lure the murderer as soon as possible."

Nie Bochang and the others looked at Mr. Zhou, but their expressions were different. Liu Xiong and the others said, "Is the magistrate of Wuchun County so good at playing?", while Nie Bochang frowned, his face was not gloomy, but his expression was always calm. In addition, the thing that made Jiao Yun take risks before did not make people suspect that there were other deep meanings.

Mr. Zhou hurriedly finished speaking: "But! After listening to Jiao Wuzuo's analysis just now, I think what you said is very reasonable, so... it's better to stimulate it even more. Change it, Jiao Wuzuo you and Jiao Wuzuo Nie Xiucai might as well act as a pair of brothers who are like brothers, but in private they are actually a pair of broken sleeves. And you deliberately ignore this 'lover' who can't be announced, and still wanders wantonly in the brothel to tease the little lady and don't take him Seriously, in this way... If the other party is really eager to guess that it might be a couple, then..."

Jiao Yun: "..." Damn it, he was just making a start, Mr. Zhou, do you want to open your mind so much?After you leave office, you will really be able to go to Tianqiao to tell stories...

Nie Baichang was in a daze for a long time without saying a word.

Jiao Yun grabbed Nie Baichang's wrist: "No! Master Zhou, if someone sees you like this, how will my Nie Xiaobai behave in the future? He is a scholar!" After a pause, "you find another good-looking man , cooperate with me!" He is good at acting, but Nie Xiaobai probably was frightened just now, what if he frightens him again?

Mr. Zhou hurriedly said: "No, no, no one will know except us! You are only very secretive on the surface, and you will get involved in a place where no one is in private. After all, the murderer is likely to be very skilled. Hiding in the dark and seeing Jiao Yuzuo, you deliberately 'abandoned and played with'..."

Jiao Yun: "Then I'm afraid it will be worse than these seven deaths." He couldn't help but touched his chest, but he didn't back down. Master Zhou was right in saying that these young sons are innocent If you find the murderer as soon as possible, no one will be killed.

Mr. Zhou saw that Jiao Yun was protecting Nie Baichang like a calf, so he could only helplessly: "Then I will send someone to find a man..."

Before he finished speaking, Nie Baichang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "I'll act."

Mr. Zhou's eyes gleamed, he was still Nie Xiucai, but he just looked at Jiao Yun's slightly squinted eyes, gave a low cough, and turned his head away: "Nie Xiucai, why don't you... think about it again?"

Nie Baichang looked at Jiao Yun, tightened and loosened his clenched hands: "I will act, and I can protect you while cooperating with you, otherwise, I don't feel at ease."

Jiao Yun saw that he had made up his mind, and then saw that the deceased did not resemble Nie Baichang, and then thought of Nie Baichang's skill, "Then don't you think... that you can't continue acting?"

Nie Bochang shook his head: "Try it first. You need to cooperate with others tacitly. It might be easier to get caught after a day or two."

Jiao Yun felt that what Nie Xiaobai said made sense.

Lord Zhou nodded desperately: "Don't worry, Jiao Wuzuo, if Nie Xiucai really hurt a little bit, I, the county magistrate, will stop doing it, and I will apologize to Nie Xiucai!"

After thinking about it, Jiao Yun decided that it should not be too late, so he could only take up the post temporarily. First, after discussing and confirming the identities of Jiao Yun and Nie Baichang, Master Zhou would inform the women who cooperated. Temporary play.

Master Zhou showed guilt and relief: "You two, as long as you are alone together, as long as you can cooperate and say as many... words as possible, in order to prevent the murderer from following you when no one is around in the next three days, we only Pretending not to know each other, hard work, both of you! This is the money for the accommodation and food for the next three days plus the money to go to the place of fireworks... Although it is a little less, it is impossible for Jiao Wuzuo to really marry a girl, so... Should be enough."

Jiao Yun was not embarrassed, took it over and took a look, and padded it: "... 20 taels? Play a son?" Mr. Zhou, you county magistrate... is a bit poor.

Master Zhou touched his nose: "Ahem, hard work."

Jiao Yun squinted his eyes: I wonder if Abbot Jingxin was coaxed here, and the sesame oil money is probably... less.

Since he was going to act, Jiao Yun wrote down the portraits of his own people, and then changed into the fancy clothes prepared for him by Mr. Zhou last week. As for Nie Baichang's, he didn't need to change into the regular clothes he was wearing originally.

Jiao Yun touched the fabric in his hand, and raised his eyebrows: "This won't spend all your retirement funds, Mr. Zhou, will it?"

Lord Zhou coughed softly: "Don't worry about Jiao Yuzuo, it's a new one, but afterward... I have discussed it with the shopkeeper, and it will be cheaper to tell the buyer before selling it."

Jiao Yun: "..." He shouldn't have asked!

Forget it, just buy it when the time comes, he is not short of money.

After all matters were discussed, Jiao Yun changed his clothes and came out. He opened the folding fan in his hand and looked at it with a half-smile. Mr. Zhou immediately raised his thumb and boasted in a fancy way: "Like! It's so similar! This will definitely attract that pervert kill……"

In the faint sight of everyone, Mr. Zhou shrank silently to the corner. He was guilty, and he would do whatever he wanted when the murderer was caught.

Since they were going to act, Jiao Yun and Nie Baichang bid farewell to Master Tao Xutang and the others, because the play started at night, and someone would secretly follow and protect them.

After Jiao Yun and Nie Baichang went out from the back door, they went around to the gate of the city, and they led the horses respectively.

When they looked at each other and looked forward again, the acting officially started.

Jiao Yun led the horse and walked in a wrong way, probably because he was tired, so he threw the reins directly to the people around him: "Here, my hand hurts if you hold it." As he spoke, he glanced at Nie Baichang with a half-smile, and turned the quilt The image of the pet willful young master is thoroughly played.

Nie Baichang didn't change much, he hummed lightly, but looked at him when he took it, his eyes and eyebrows were tender.

On Jiao Yun's face, the smile seemed to be flirtatious, but in his heart he was surprised: "Okay, Nie Xiaobai, this play is very good, and it looks like that."

From the moment Jiao Yun appeared, he used to be low-key, but now he is leisurely walking ahead with a folding fan. This outfit, together with the equally handsome Nie Baichang and two horses behind him, is quite conspicuous. Almost instantly, many people glanced at him. When I saw them, they were muttering, their eyes were excited but worried.

Jiao Yun and Nie Baichang acted as merchants from out of town, pretending they didn't know anything about Wuchun County.

Walking all the way to the agreed upon inn, when the two of them arrived at the door, Xiao Er enthusiastically greeted them, but he was taken aback when he saw their appearance: "Two, two young masters... You came from a long way, right?"

Jiao Yun looked at him curiously: "Yeah, what's the matter? Isn't your inn open to outsiders?"

Xiao Ergu hesitated and stopped: "Of course not, please come to the two distinguished guests!"

Jiao Yun snorted softly: "The horse is ready for the young master!" He touched it from his bosom and threw a piece of broken silver.

Xiaoer's eyes gleamed: "Come on! Young master, please!"

Jiao Yun walked forward, and turned around to give Nie Baichang a deliberate look: "Why are you standing there? Let's go, look at you stupid, if I knew it, I wouldn't have brought you here. You insist on following, but I don't know why those few are like this Slow down, there is not even a servant, why don't you fetch water for me?"

Nie Baichang stood there with his eyes downcast, but his back was straight, because he looked so noble, but when he looked at the young master who lost his temper, he was very patient: "Okay, I will come, I will not let you be wronged."

Jiao Yun looked at him several times, snorted heavily, opened the folding fan and left.

Nie Baichang was several steps behind, and then slowly followed.

Xiao Er turned around and couldn't help but look at the two of them more. The two young masters seemed to be brothers, and it was not uncommon for the elder brother to tolerate the arrogant younger brother.

Nie Bochang followed Jiao Yun and approached the inn. There was a moment of silence in the inn, and then his face showed surprise. At the same time, he couldn't help but be amazed. The eyes met without saying a word: These two young masters are not from the local area, right?To come to them with such a handsome face?

The shopkeeper came back to his senses and hurried up to greet him: "You two gentlemen, are you... going to the top or staying in the store?"

Jiao Yun leaned lazily on the counter, looked around in the lobby, did not see the little girl, clicked his tongue, and then looked away.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Nie Baichang said, "Stay in the hotel."

Shopkeeper: "How many rooms?"

Nie Bochang: "Two rooms."

It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, there was a person next to him, and Nie Baichang's heartbeat stopped for a moment as the heat came from the other person.

Jiao Yun held the paper fan in his hand and put it together. He tapped the shopkeeper's brush to be recorded, "One room."

The shopkeeper was stunned: "Huh?"

Jiao Yun looked at him impatiently: "I, say... one room!" As he spoke, he glanced at Nie Baichang beside him with a half-smile, his eyes seemed to be hooked, "How many rooms?"

Nie Baichang's mind exploded in coaxing, knowing that he was acting, but looking at the person close at hand, the smile and the flirtatious expression made it take him a long time to look away, and he became sober when he fell on the shopkeeper's face: "……one."

Although the shopkeeper was strange, he didn't think much about it, and quickly opened a room and asked them to take them to the third floor.

When the door was closed, Jiao Yun and Jiao Yun were the only ones left. He let out a breath, shook his face, patted his face that was almost frozen in laughter, turned his head, and squinted at Nie Baichang: "Nie Xiaobai, what do you think you are?" Why do you have to act?"

Nie Baichang put the bag with his back facing him, and walked over to pour tea after putting it away, without looking directly at Jiao Yun: "I don't worry about you taking the risk alone. Besides, it's just a fake, and it's you again, so it's okay."

Jiao Yun thinks about it too, but... "What do you think of Duanxiu?"

Nie Baichang paused, and said softly for a while, "I don't know."

Jiao Yun went around and saw that he really didn't look like a fake: "I'm relieved, I thought you were intimidated at first, but it seems that he is indeed the most proud apprentice of the head of the mountain, and his ability to accept is strong."

Nie Baichang: "It's you, why are you so clear? At first, I was really scared."

Jiao Yun: "Well, we, as the masters, naturally understand both men and women. After all, we have to study corpses to find answers from dead people. In addition, we have learned a lot from Master Hou all these years. If we know more, then..." He Shrugging his shoulders, he asked Nie Bochang a few more words to make sure that Nie Bochang was not frightened, and he was not displeased with the broken sleeve, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, Jiao Yun is not broken sleeves, but he knows the variety of worlds before he transmigrated, and he is not against it. After all, all people are created equal, and he has never liked anyone before, and he can't understand that kind of emotion.

But Nie Xiaobai didn't resist, so he dared to speak out his plan.

"The murderer should not be eyeing us now. After dark, the acting will start. At that time, we will go out, and I will go to the brothel. At that time, you can stop and express your objection. Then I will pretend to be drunk and insist on staying. You strongly stop it. At that time, I will argue with you about acting, and you will take me away in the end. This is the drama tonight, you can remember it. "

Nie Baichang hummed: As long as he is under his nose, he will definitely bring him back.

Jiao Yun asked Nie Baichang to repeat it to make sure he remembered how to act before he breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them stayed in the room after dinner and did not go out. After dark, Jiao Yun took Nie Baichang and went out with some money. Of course it wasn't the 20 taels that Mr. Zhou gave, which probably wasn't enough for a tip.

When he and Nie Baichang went outside the brothel, the girls at the door were immediately attracted by their looks, and immediately they looked at each other and started to rush forward.

Jiao Yun played the role of a flirtatious and sentimental scumbag young master, his eyes glistened naturally, and as soon as he stuffed the folding fan into his arms, he smiled and wanted to meet the enthusiasm of the girls.

Nie Baichang played the role of the secret lover. Seeing this appearance, his face darkened, and he probably didn't have to show his true colors. This appearance frightened off the girl who was going to get close to him, and ended up blocking Jiao Yun by the way, staring at the beautiful girl with a gloomy expression. .

Girls: What's going on?Keep your distance when visiting brothels?

Jiao Yun pushed him back, "What are you doing? Get up! Don't disturb the young master's elegant mood." Then he stood up and smiled and looked at the dazed girl, "He, it's his first time here, so I don't know much about it. Don't get acquainted with him."

After finishing speaking, he pushed Nie Baichang, who was blocking the way, to move forward.

But with Nie Baichang standing aside with a cold face, no one dared to step forward.

But even so, that face almost kept a group of girls from screaming.

Most of them knew Nie Baichang when they were in Changyang County, knowing the other party's identity and dare not take it rashly, but here is different, where Nie Baichang stands, not to mention his figure, just his face can't help but make people flock to him.

Jiao Yun recalled, and turned back to glared at him: Why did he have a premonition, not that he wanted to stay and flirt with the girls, but these girls wanted to drink with Nie Xiaobai more?

Then how will the play be performed by then?

Jiao Yun silently touched into his bosom, took out a stack of banknotes, like fanning the wind: "It's quite hot today."

Immediately, the eyes of a group of girls fell on him, like wolves with green eyes.

Jiao Yun smiled slowly at Nie Baichang: He doesn't believe it, his face and these bank notes are not worth Nie Xiaobai's face.

Nie Baichang looked at the girl rushing forward, and blocked it expressionlessly again: "..." and warned Jiao Yun: don't go too far.

Jiao Yun gave him a look of disgust on purpose, but his goal was achieved, so he honestly put the banknote in his arms and went in silently.

All the girls and others looked at each other after they entered the lobby: Why...they just noticed the flirting?Illusion?It must be an illusion!

No matter, the rich is the uncle!
