Abduct a shadow guard to investigate the case

"One drink of village mash and one song.

Looking back at the turmoil in the world.

Great worry, right and wrong.

There is a lot of glory. "

Luan Qingshan in Yuling County is covered with green bamboos and charming flowers. At this time, there is a fine rain in the sky, soaking up the colors of the mountains.

If at this time, sitting in a carriage for transportation, going up the winding mountain road, looking at the lingering fog on the mountain in the distance, singing the lyrics of indifferent Mingzhi, it is really indescribably comfortable.

Furthermore, if the person who chanted the song was a young and fair young man with a tall and straight figure, a clear voice, handsome eyebrows, black hair partly tied and partly scattered, and a light-colored long gown, he would be even more romantic and pleasing to the eye.

It just so happened that Shen Yao was such a son who chanted music.

It's a pity that the coachman who drove the carriage didn't understand this elegance. He interrupted Shen Yao's elegant mood mercilessly, pulled the rein in his hand, and stopped the carriageway, "Young master, the carriage can only go here, the road behind Get out of the car and go by yourself."

"..."

Shen Yao opened the small curtain to keep out the wind, leaned out, looked up at the mountain road stretching far away, and discussed with the driver, "Uncle, I will give you some more money, and you will send me directly to Tibetan Mountain Villa at the door."

"Hey, if you say no, you can't do it," said the coachman, "The road further up the mountain is narrow and rugged, and the carriage cannot go up."

"This is going to be troublesome." Shen Yao looked at the rain-soaked mud outside the car in disgust, and rubbed his nose.

"Young master, seeing how strong you are, climbing some mountain roads can be a big deal," the coachman joked, "By the way, this hidden villa is a very famous villa in Jianghu. If you want to go there, you must be a member of the Jianghu. Bar?"

"Oh," Shen Yao said with a smile, "I went to the villa to join my relatives."

"Oh." The coachman looked at Shen Yao, and suddenly opened his mouth and yawned, and his body shivered a bit. Seeing the clear water coming out of his nose, he hurriedly raised his hand to wipe it.

"Uncle, you're not in a good spirit today, you've worked hard driving the car." Shen Yao said.

"Well, I played a little late at the 'Le Xian Lou' last night," the coachman said casually after being concerned about, and suddenly felt that Shen Yao was staring into his eyes, and he turned his head uncomfortably, waving He waved his hands and said, "Young master, get out of the car, I'm also going to go down the mountain early and go home to rest."

"Well, it seems that's the only way to go." Shen Yao rubbed his nose and stepped out of the car.

"Okay, then you go." The coachman turned his horse's head, swung his whip, and the carriage jolted down the mountain.

In the afternoon, in the medicinal hall of Tibetan Name Villa.

The white-haired master of the medicine hall, Jun Mozai, looked at the young man standing in front of him.The young man is about in his early 20s. He is tall and slender, handsome, and youthful. Although he stands upright and polite, there is a hint of casualness in his gestures.

Jun Moyan glanced at the little mud at the bottom of his robe, and asked, "Are you looking for Vice Hall Master Shi of the Medicine Hall?"

"Exactly, this is Vice Hall Master Shi's cousin and nephew. My parents passed away, so I came here from my hometown in the south to join my cousin. I also ask Hall Master Jun to arrange for me to meet my cousin." Shen Yao posed to Jun Mo Zhan With a bow, he explained slowly.Looking up, he saw that Jun Mozai was frowning, and there seemed to be some entanglement in his heart.

"Brother Shi mentioned to me that his cousin and nephew are coming to join him," Jun Mozai said, "He said that your father Lingtang is not from the Jianghu, but died of illness one after another the year before last. You went to a private school in your hometown, but you didn't I have practiced martial arts, and said that when you come, let me see what kind of livelihood I can arrange for you."

"It's really bothering the hall master and uncle." Shen Yao bowed again, and said, "But my parents died last year due to a plague outbreak in my hometown, and I was young and weak, so I practiced martial arts with my master in the martial arts hall in the town. Strengthen your body, I mentioned it in the correspondence with my uncle before, probably because he thinks this little bit of fist is not worth mentioning, so he didn't tell you."

"Well," Jun Mozai slightly raised his eyebrows, nodded slightly, and asked suddenly, "You have come to seek refuge, what token do you have?".

"..." Shen Yao glanced at him, thinking that if you let me see my cousin, it would be clear, but she held back her words and took out a letter from her waist, "This is what my cousin gave me half a month ago." Reply, hall master, please take a look."

Jun Mo Zhan shook open the letter paper, and saw that it was indeed Shi Bozhong's notes, and the content contained some greetings about his cousin's recent situation, as well as his approval for his coming to join him.

He handed the letter back, and Shen Yao took it and was about to put it away, but suddenly he heard Jun Mozai say again, "Mr. Shen, I have some sad news to tell you that your cousin Shi Bozhong was killed yesterday evening." gone."

The letter paper in Shen Yao's hand whirled and fell to the ground, and he opened his eyes wide in disbelief to look at Jun Mohan.

"My cousin and my family haven't been around too much in recent years. The last time I saw him was during the Chinese New Year the year before last. I didn't expect that it would be the last time I saw him."

In the morgue, Shen Yao supported the coffin and bowed his head, frowning tightly, and said sadly.

"Brother Shi lost his wife in his early years, and he never got married. He has no children. It is a comfort to have you here to see him off." Jun Mozai said aside.

"... Hall Master Jun, can you open the coffin and let me see my cousin for the last time?" Shen Yao hesitated to make this request.

"Brother Shi died of cutting his throat with a sharp weapon. Although he has restrained himself, I'm afraid it's still..."

"It's okay, please let the Lord Jun complete it."

"..."

The coffin lid was pushed open, and Jun Moye stood behind Shen Yao, seeing him tremblingly put his hand on the neck of the corpse where the neck had been packed and stitched.

"Who was so cruel and killed my cousin?!"

"Brother Shi was testing medicine in the stone room when he was killed. The murder weapon was the dagger he carried with him for blood collection. When the medicine boy found him, the medicine man was standing next to the corpse. The murderer must be him."

"The medicine man?" Shen Yao turned to look at him.

"It is the person who is used to test the medicine."

"...Why did he kill my cousin?"

"This is also what we want to understand. The medicine man is the shadow guard abandoned by the shadow hall. Generally speaking, the shadow guard is the least likely to commit acts of resistance and crime. Therefore, it depends on whether the punishment hall can pry it out of his mouth." There are more hidden secrets."

"Then what did he say?"

Jun Mozai shook his head.

"Master Jun, can you take me down to see the murderer?" Shen Yao clasped his hands, looked at Jun Mohan, and asked with burning eyes.

Jun Moyan sighed, and was about to reply, when he suddenly saw a head poking in from the door, he shouted, "Come in!"

The person who came was a young boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a navy blue trousers jacket, a cloth handkerchief on his head, black boots on his feet, colorful bandages around his wrist and waist, and a lapis lazuli inlaid with silver on his left ear. The earrings are not Han Chinese at first glance.

"Hello Master Jun!" He bowed in embarrassment and greeted, and stepped into the room.

"Dan Muda, what are you doing sneaking around outside?"

"Master, you have wronged me," Dan Muda waved his hands hurriedly, "Didn't I hear that Vice-Hall Master Shi had a cousin and nephew who came here suddenly, and I was curious, so I came to have a look and pay respects to the sacrifice Vice-Hall Master Shi." As he spoke, he put his right hand on his chest and bowed his eyes to the coffin.

"It just so happens that this is Shen Yao, the nephew of Vice Hall Master Shi," Hall Master Jun brought Shen Yao to Dan Muda's side, and introduced, "Shen Yao, this is Dan Mu Da, he is from the ancient Li tribe, He was recruited by the medicine hall three years ago, mainly to assist in the research of poisonous Gu."

Shen Yao bowed to Dan Muda to say hello, and Dan Muda nodded to him with his lips pursed. He had a lively and unruly face, but put on a deep expression, and said to him, "My condolences."

"..." Shen Yao nodded.

"Dan Muda, Shen Yao wants to go to the punishment hall to see the murderer shadow guard, so you can take him there." Jun Mozhe ordered.

"Yes!"
