Little Fairy

That night, the two did not stay in the inn, but went out for a walk to digest food.

Under Yang Yun's control, this Fangcheng is in order. If there were no murders, the people would be living their lives with a smile on their face.

Officers and soldiers patrolling can be seen everywhere on the street, and the people are not afraid of them, but relieved, at least the murderer will not kill people everywhere on the street.

Tang Xi looked sideways and saw him staring at the lanterns in the lake in a daze.

"Why, do you want to buy a lantern to make a wish?" Tang Xi asked, and there was an old woman making paper lanterns next to her.

"Let's buy one." Ling Yin thought for a while and said, the old woman was also quite difficult, and she was still making paper lanterns at night.

Tang Xi went over with him and picked out the most exquisite lantern.

"My lord, this one costs a penny, so buy a few more." The old woman laughed.

"Then, we want ten!" Ling Yin thought for a while and said.

Seeing that she could sell ten of them at once, the old woman was overjoyed, so she handed him the pen and asked him to write the name and content of what he wanted to pray for.

Tang Xiu took out a silver coin and handed it over, "There's no need to look for it."

That silver can buy all the lanterns, the old woman thanked her a thousand times and went back with a basket on her back.

Ling Yin's handwriting didn't quite match his persona, handsome and unrestrained, with a bit of scribbling, but a bit rebellious.

Tang Xi was reluctant to let the lantern go, and saw him write the names of Du Xiao, Murong Fei, Jiang Ziming, Yan Yu, Zhou Xin, Ling Yin and several other secret guards on the lantern.

The last lantern, Ling Yin, refused to let go. Seeing Tang Xi looking at him with a smile in his eyes, he pushed the brush over and asked him to write by himself.

"You write it for me, and I'll write one sentence below... Marry a beautiful wife." Tang Xi raised the corners of his mouth, a little mischievously.

Ling Yin thought about this sentence and felt that it was not right, especially when he thought of Tang Xi's going to marry a wife, he was very angry.

So I wrote it casually, and it was very scribbled, and I only saw the word "daughter-in-law" after careful identification.

Tang Xi pretended to be happy and put the lantern into the lake.

Ling Yin put down the other four slowly. The candles in the middle of the lantern could burn for a while, and they floated along the river to the middle of the lake. There were several big boats on board. The most famous brothels in Fangcheng were on board. Love on board, those dignitaries like it very much.

The price of this painting boat is also high, only dignitaries can afford it, and the women on it are even more talented and pitiful.

It’s just that every brothel is worried tonight. Yang Yun ordered them not to open, and most of them are closed. The few ships on the ship are exceptions. No one dared to cause trouble in his territory.

The two stayed by the lake for a while before leaving. They expected that Murong Fei and Jiang Ziming were on the boat tonight, so nothing would happen.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the inn, a hidden guard came to report in a hurry.

"Master, something happened to the boat!"

"say clearly."

Zhou Xin didn't dare to delay, and said hastily: "As soon as my subordinates came out of the Yamen with Yan Yu, they saw the painting boat on fire."

"Where are Murong Fei and Jiang Ziming?" Tang Xi frowned, a little annoyed.

"They were busy salvaging those people with officers and soldiers."

"Understood, you guys go too, I'll go find Yang Yun." Tang Xi had a displeased face, disturbing him when he was going to sleep for beauty, it was an unforgivable crime.

Ling Yin naturally knew why he was angry, and followed after drinking a sip of tea.

Yang Yun was also lighting the lamp, and had been working in the study. After hearing that the painting boat was on fire, she hurriedly put on her coat and rushed over.

This painting boat is the most tightly guarded place, if something happens there, not only will the government be slapped in the face, but also the owner of the painting boat will be slapped in the face.

This murderer is so powerful, is it really impossible to catch him? !

When I came to the lake to see, many people were crying for help, some official prostitutes were burned, and the rest were fine.

"Count the number of people." Yang Yun's face was not very good-looking.

Du Xiao and the others worked half the night to catch everyone.

Tang Xi and Ling Yin watched from the side, and Ling Yin whispered in his ear: "There are still two people in the lake."

"I'll go and have a look." Tang Xi knew that he had seen the secrets, and before those people finished counting, he took off his coat and threw it to Ling Yin to stretch out his hand, and plunged into the lake.

Yang Yun narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Where is Mr. Tang going?"

Du Xiao put his arm around his shoulder and teased, "You don't care, maybe there are clues in the lake."

The clean clothes were wet, Yang Yun stared at him for a while, then slightly avoided and said: "Everyone, go to the yamen with the officers and soldiers to change clothes."

"No need." Due to Du Xiao's internal strength, the clothes were dry within a moment.

Murong Fei's whole body was wet and uncomfortable, so Jiang Ziming helped him dry his clothes with internal force.

"Why don't you come up?" Ling Yin asked worriedly. According to Tang Xi's speed, he should have swum to the middle of the lake by now, but he never came up.

"Don't worry, young master, even if there are man-eating monsters here, the owner will not be troubled." Du Xiao said with a smile.

Sure enough, after a few people waited for a while, the officers and soldiers also finished their accounts. One man and one woman were missing. The woman was the oiran tonight, and the man was Li Yuanwai from the city.

Yang Yun asked people to take the kitchen workers and the serving maid back to the yamen first, and send the others back to the house near the yamen to settle down carefully, and interrogate them one by one.

At this time, there was a sound in the middle of the lake, and the lake water splashed in all directions. Tang Xi jumped up from the water, holding a person in one hand.

With his lightness skills, he returned to the shore within a moment, threw the person in his hand to the ground, his eyes were full of disgust.

"Happy clothes again..." Yang Yun murmured.

Fortunately, those people were all sent away, otherwise they would be even more frightened after seeing it.

The officers and soldiers sent the two back to the Yamen, and Yang Yun and the others followed.

"You smell." Ling Yin sniffed him. Just now, Murong Fei and the others also had it, but it was not obvious after the clothes were dried. Before Tang Xi dried the clothes, Ling Yin confirmed that it was gasoline. smell.

Yang Yunsheng interrogated the cooks, and everyone tremblingly said that there was nothing wrong, and they were working in the kitchen as usual.

Then they asked Xiaoer one by one if there was any special person on board.

"My lord, no... But, the smell on the boat is very delicious tonight!" Xiao Er said nervously.

Yang Yun said angrily, "What's the smell?!"

"It's just the smell of powder, much stronger than before, especially the one on the oiran, it's so charming." Xiao Er tried hard to think back, but luckily he didn't know that the oiran was dead.

Ling Yin thought of something and asked, "Did you ever go outside to see when the fire broke out?"

"Yes, yes, yes! I happened to deliver food outside, and suddenly it caught fire for some reason! And the fire came from outside!" Xiao Er was very excited, and began to talk incoherently about the fire.

Yang Yun asked someone to take him down, looked at Ling Yin and asked, "What did the young master find?"

"Gasoline, the hull was doused with gasoline, so the fire was from the outside to the inside. In order to cover up the smell, the aroma in the boat increased."

Tang Xi nodded and said, "I smelled it too, and that oiran didn't rub it so fragrant for no reason, someone should have sold her a face powder."

"And..." Ling Yin hesitated to speak.

"What else?" The others looked at him anxiously.

"Flower lantern..." Ling Yin said softly.

Tang Xi's face was gloomy, a little embarrassed.

"We all found the wrong person. The murderer is not a man."
