The little monster never came back overnight.Cui Jingxing is not safe here, Cui En is not worried about him, so he let Cui Jingxing go to lie down in his room, and then he sleeps on the ground to accompany Cui Jingxing, "Master, you are weak, rest for tonight, and we will talk about everything at dawn tomorrow."

Cui Jingxing nodded. He sat on the bed holding a book and waited for a while, but the blade of grass still didn't appear, so he had to lie down and rest.

Early the next morning, when Cui Jingxing opened his eyes, there was a slender blade of grass the size of a fingernail in his palm. He was slightly taken aback, and pointed the blade of grass with his index finger.

The grass leaves curled up and wrapped around his fingertips.

Cui Jingxing smiled slightly, put it into his hair, and then got up to wash.

"Master, you're awake." Cui En happened to enter the door with hot porridge, "Early this morning, I went to the county government to report the case. The county government has something to do right now, and I will send someone here later."

Something went wrong in the post house, this is not a trivial matter, what could be more important than here at the county government?Cui Jingxing took a face cloth, pondered for a moment and asked, "What happened to the county government office?"

"In the early hours of this morning, someone found a naked body at the gate of the county government office."

Cui Jingxing was a little surprised and said, "How did you die?"

"I can't see the wound. I heard Wu Zuo said that he died of a sudden heart attack and frightened to death."

Scared to death?Cui Jingxing had some guesses in his mind, "A man?"

"man."

"Is there a knife with him?"

Cui En was a little surprised, "Master, how do you know?"

The grass leaves turned over, lying on the hairpin and shaking the leaves triumphantly.

Cui Jingxing said: "I was just guessing whether he and the killer last night were the same person, and now it seems that it is so."

Cui En knew that his young master was smart, but he still couldn't understand why Cui Jingxing made such a guess, and why did the killer die suddenly at the gate of the county government office?

Cui Jingxing had no intention of revealing about the little monster, he saw Cui En's doubts but did not answer, he simply ate two mouthfuls of porridge and rice, and asked Cui En to withdraw.He read the book for a while, heard the noise coming from downstairs, opened the window and saw a group of yamen servants.

He raised his hand and pressed down the grass leaves lying on the hairpin, and then closed the window.

It didn't take long for the group of government servants to enter the post house. The leader was the policeman who knocked on the door and came in. He first looked around the room unintentionally.

Cui Jingxing put down the book, and said unhurriedly: "Don't read, this is not my room."

The catcher saluted with a smile and said: "Your Excellency was shocked, something happened in the yamen, so it was delayed for some hours. Master Registrar will be here later."

The corners of Cui Jingxing's mouth drooped slightly, and he said dissatisfiedly: "A few days ago, the Master Bookkeeper swore to guarantee the safety of the posthouse."

The policeman smiled and said: "This is indeed our negligence. It is the first time we have encountered such a thing as a killer. We were a little caught off guard for a while. We will definitely investigate to the end. I don't know if you still remember the one I met last night. The killer's appearance?"

Cui Jingxing frowned and said, "If I remember, I don't have to wait for you to investigate the case."

The police officer didn't seem to hear Cui Jingxing's bad tone, and continued to ask: "Then, does your lord still remember what characteristics he has?"

"It's dark, what can you see clearly?"

The policeman pondered for a moment, and said, "If there are no characteristics, it will be more difficult to check. Have you encountered any special people or things during the past few days in He County?"

Cui Jingxing said: "I read books in my room every day, or go out to buy books."

"The killer shouldn't be targeting the Lord." The policeman suddenly asked, "Is Lord Meng Yin in the post?"

Cui Jingxing said: "When will he go out and let me know?"

Immediately, a small yamen servant ran to find Meng Yin, and came back after a while and shook his head, Meng Yin was not there.

Cui Jingxing said: "Master Meng has been busy investigating the case for the past few days, maybe he has gone out. You mean that the killer is after Master Meng?"

"The subordinate dare not."

Cui Jingxing lowered his head and said to himself blankly: "It's not necessarily impossible. Mr. Meng does not look like a good person, but judging people by their appearance is a villain's style. Although I have no friendship with Mr. Meng, I have never met a few Next time, but I can also feel that Mr. Meng is actually a very enthusiastic person, how could anyone hate him so much?"

"We still have to find Mr. Meng before we can make a conclusion. Does your lord know where Mr. Meng has gone?"

Cui Jingxing shook his head, "He leaves early and returns late every day. I haven't seen him for several days."

While talking, the master hurriedly walked in, repeatedly apologizing and greeting Cui Jingxing, with his mouth crackling like a firecracker, unable to stop.The catcher led the yamen servant to leave silently, and they happened to meet Zhao Zhen, the son of the county magistrate, in the corridor.

"Cousin," the policeman stopped to look at him and said, "Where have you been all this time? We are all worried."

It turned out that the catcher was a distant relative of the Zhao family, and it was for this reason that he was able to stay in Linhe County and work under the county magistrate Zhao Cheng.

As soon as Zhao Zhen saw his old friend, he thought of his late father, and felt sad for a while. He shook his head lowly, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me. Go and do your work, I'll go see Master Cui."

The catcher patted Zhao Zhen on the shoulder in fear, sighed lightly, and then led the people away.

The master didn't even drink a sip of water. Even if Cui Jingxing ignored him, he kept talking to himself all morning, and he even wanted to continue talking at lunch time. Even Zhao Zhen couldn't intervene several times. superior.

Cao Zizi gradually became impatient, shaking Cui Jingxing's curly hair.

Cui Jingxing was afraid that others would notice the abnormality, so he pressed it carelessly, then squeezed it out and held it in his palm.He looked serious and sincere, as if he was listening attentively, but in fact he didn't hear a single word, and his attention was almost completely attracted by the rolling blade of grass in his palm.

Fortunately, Zhao Zhen saw Cui En standing at the door hesitating to speak, so he interrupted the master's words beside him.Only then did the master get up to leave, and agreed to visit Master Cui again tomorrow.

Zhao Zhen smiled helplessly: "My father didn't like the flattery of his subordinates the most during his lifetime. It seems that he was suffocated."

Cui Jingxing said: "Master Zhao is a good official."

Zhao Zhen looked lonely and said: "Everyone says he is a good official." He respected his father, but he also hoped that his father would not be so good, so that his father would not be washed away by the flood in order to evacuate the people.

Cui En walked in and said with a smile: "Young Master Zhao stay for dinner?"

Although all the meals are provided by the post house, they are also provided according to everyone's preferences. Cui Jingxing prefers sweets and oily dishes, and Zhao Zhen wants to keep his filial piety and eat light meals.He shook his head and said: "I will eat it later, Master Cui, please take it slowly. I will take my leave."

Cui Jingxing suddenly pressed his hand, looked at him for a while, and finally said after a while: "Lock the doors and windows at night."

If an accident happened at night, the doors and windows must be locked, so why did Mr. Cui give me extra instructions?Zhao Zhen felt that Cui Jingxing's words had some deep meaning, but he really couldn't figure it out, and wanted to ask more, but seeing that Cui Jingxing didn't look like he wanted to continue, he had no choice but to stand up and thank him.

The water in Linhe County is not shallow. Before there was a canal that made Zhang Yuan suspected of corruption, and later there was news that Meng Yin had just obtained the stolen money, and then he brought in killers. Today, the words of the policeman are more like all kinds of temptations, testing Cui Jingxing's information about Meng Yin. know how much.The director who seems to be suspected of being involved in the corruption case doesn't seem to have anything to do with him, he's just a villain who wants to climb up.

Cui Jingxing put the blade of grass on top of his head again, and the small county fell into chaos, chess pieces fought, and it was difficult to distinguish between black and white.

He glanced at the direction where Zhao Zhen left at the door. This person is a rare outsider in this chaotic situation, but unfortunately he is not very smart.In order to avoid extra problems, Cui Jingxing couldn't remind him too much, he could only remind him to be careful of the people inside and outside the post house, and I don't know if this person can understand.

The grass leaf lay on Cui Jingxing's forehead, slid down the bridge of his nose, just landed on the desk, stood on the book and jumped twice.

This probably has something to say, so Cui Jingxing found a page with the most words and opened it, "Are these words enough?"

The grass leaves jumped, enough.

Cui Jingxing looked at the words that Cao Zizi hopped and found, and finally connected them into words, "Help?"

Cui Jingxing was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I have no relatives or friends."

"..." Grass Leaf became angry, and it ran wildly on the book.In vain, Mu Shufeng introduced this nerd as a confidant, but he didn't expect that this nerd didn't take him seriously at all.

Cui Jingxing said: "That's good too, if I die in Linhe County, I won't have relatives and friends feeling sad."

Grass Leaf stopped and looked up at Cui Jingxing. That soft and beautiful face slowly overlapped with the boy who died tragically at Caishikou 20 years ago. It was his greatest regret and regret that he could not save that old man 20 years ago. Seeing Cui Jingxing's eyebrows and eyes similar to those of the old man, it decided to take good care of him, and it didn't know whether it was to make up for the regret it had for the old man, or to make its regretful heart feel better.

Cui Jingxing looked down at the leaves of grass, the sunlight refracted amber brilliance in his eyes, like the quiet and beautiful moonlight, but inexplicably pitiful.

The leaves of grass suddenly flew up in the wind, and gently touched Cui Jingxing's cheek, I will help you.

Holding the blade of grass with one hand, Cui En held the food in one hand and squeezed it in the other, frowning, "Where did this fly in? It's so dirty." He raised his hand and threw the blade of grass out of the window.

God knows where Cui En, an ordinary servant, got so much strength?Cao Zizi didn't have time to resist at all, and when he came back to his senses, he was already lying on the street. Since he became a demon, he hasn't suffered such grievances. If it wasn't for disguising his identity...it really is bullied by dogs. A phoenix on the ground is not as good as a chicken.

Cui Jingxing's bitter plan was at a critical moment, and he didn't know if it would succeed when Cui En interrupted it, but Cui En didn't know about it, so he couldn't be blamed for this matter.Cui Jingxing was silent for a moment, "Uncle Cui, let's eat."

"it is good."
