Shengjing Conspiracy

After washing and changing, Wen Youqing went to the main hall, and found that there was another person besides Jing Yun, "Who is this person?"

Seeing him coming, Jing Yun said, "This man is someone who is familiar with the desert according to what you said, Lao Liu."

Wen Youqing took a look at Lao Liu, and could see that he was a person who was used to living and sleeping in the open, and he seemed to be a Jiang Hu person, so he bowed his hands to him.

"This is Mr. Wen. I'm a rough person. I can't help but look at Haihan." Old Liu looked foolish, but he was upright. After learning about the situation with Jing Yun, he said, "I need two kung fus. with me."

"Is two enough?" Jing Yun called An San Xiao Wu, "You guys go with Lao Liu today."

Old Liu glanced at them, "It's useless if there are too many people, two are enough."

Seeing how confident this man was, Wen Youqing and Jing Yun exchanged glances, believed his words and let him go.

The Qiang flute faintly covered the sun with yellow clouds, and the three of them were walking against the wind in the desert. The wind whipped up sand and stones all over the place and hit their faces, which was the stabbing pain they had become accustomed to all the year round.

Old Liu's real name is Liu Baisui, which he chose himself. No one knows his original name.

It is said that he used to be the only son of a wealthy family in a border town. Later, when the enemy entered the customs and his whole family died, he was the only one left. Since then, he has been called Liu Baisui in order to live a long life, and everyone who knows him knows him well. Call him Lao Liu.

"Old Liu, are you sure it's here?" Dark Three said with difficulty as soon as he opened his mouth.

Old Liu wiped his face, "It should be here, let's look for it separately, it should be something like a secret door, if you find it, call me."

An San and Xiao Wu agreed and searched separately at the two ends, and Lao Liu was in charge of the other end.

Lao Liu bent down and looked around for a long time, suddenly felt that the sand under his feet was a little loose, and his heart skipped a beat, maybe he encountered quicksand.

"It's not right here—" Before Lao Liu finished speaking, his feet were empty, and half of his body sank in. This frightened Ansan Xiaowu, and he stepped forward to pull Lao Liu up.

"Wait, this isn't quicksand!" Lao Liu frowned, and moved his feet slightly, as if it was empty and not sand, "The bottom is empty!"

"Don't move." An San threw the rope he had prepared earlier to Lao Liu, and the other party wrapped it around his body twice to make sure it would not be loosened, and stomped his feet hard.

There was only a pop, and there was no sign of Lao Liu in the sand nest, and Ansan stared at the sand nest with frowning, clutching the rope tightly in his hand.

As for Old Liu, he was stunned looking at the secret path in front of him at this moment, thinking to himself, there is such a place hidden in this desert.

Old Liu took out the dagger from his leather boots and walked forward cautiously, when he suddenly saw a figure standing in the middle of the secret passage.

"Who is there!"

Old Liu scolded, but the other party ignored it, and called out a few more times. Only Lao Liu's own echo echoed in the secret passage. Feeling like a fool, Lao Liu gave a stern bah sound, and bravely walked up , according to the figure is a kick.

Unexpectedly, the figure didn't make a sound, and fell to the ground with a puff. Lao Liu was stunned for a moment, took out the fire pocket, lit it up and took a closer look at the figure, and was so scared that the fire pocket almost fell to the ground.

"It's fucking unlucky!" Old Liu was furious, looking at the familiar face in a terrible mood, this person died sooner or later, but he died at this time, and now he is in big trouble.

Old Liu, who is used to licking blood with a knife, doesn't have the idea that the dead are the most important. He looked around, carried the corpse on his back and walked back, pulling the rope.

Xiao Wu on the ground saw the rope move, and hurriedly pulled it with the third player, and saw Lao Liu's head popping out of the sand nest little by little, and another person's head came out with him.

"Old Liu, are you haunted by a ghost?!" Xiao Wu didn't see the other head's face, so he didn't recognize it.

"I hope it's a ghost." Lao Liu angrily threw the body on the ground, sat on the ground panting heavily, wiped his face for a long time and said sadly: "Now we have a big problem."

"Huh?" Xiao Wu has not yet reacted.

Old Liu turned the corpse over, "Look for yourself."

"How could it be him!" An San and Xiao Wu said in unison, seeing the face of the corpse clearly, and instantly understood what Lao Liu said about the big event on the stall, how could the fifth prince Sha Lu who was sent out of the city yesterday die? it's here!

·

General's Mansion, backyard.

Wen Youqing was wearing a bright yellow robe today, and she didn't wear a cloak when the weather was fine today, but she wore a moon-white gauze dress, with a white jade belt tied around her slender waist, making her look even more handsome.

"Did he behave strangely before he was sent out of the city yesterday?" Wen Youqing covered his mouth and nose with a black bamboo fan, leaned over to look carefully at Sha Lu's face, and peeled off his collar through the veil, "This handprint... Was it strangled to death?"

Jing Yun stared at the green and red handprints on the neck of Sha Lu's corpse, and looked at Liu Baisui beside him, "When you found him, was he standing?"

"Yes, I thought it was a living person there, and I yelled like a fool for a long time." Lao Liu got angry when he thought of this, and glared at the corpse fiercely, "General, why don't we destroy this corpse? King Rakshasa can't find it and can't rely on us, just beat your head and say you don't know."

"I'm afraid it won't work." Wen Youqing stood up, "If one Shalu's body is destroyed, there will be a second and a third soon. As far as I know, the old Rakshasa King is giving birth every day. More than 20 children."

"It's 23." Jing Yun took the handkerchief from the other party's hand that had touched the corpse, "What did you find?"

"There are strangle marks on the neck, and the nails are struggling and broken. The cause of death should be strangled from behind." Wen Youqing paused, "There are scratches on the back of the clothes that were pulled and dragged on the sand. I suspect that he may have died elsewhere, and then was taken into a secret passage, and this thing was done by himself."

Jing Yun turned over Sha Lu's body, and the clothes on the back were indeed dragged as Wen Youqing said, "Two people can carry the body, but if it was made by the old Rakshasa King, there shouldn't be only one person." It’s up to people to do it.”

Lao Liu is a man of the rivers and lakes, and the opportunity to use his brain the most is to calculate the money for drinks. At this time, watching the two big men chatting with each other, all he can hear is yawning.

"Just thinking about it is not the solution, or—" Wen Youqing turned to look at Lao Liu, "Why don't you take my secret way to see, Lao Liu."

"Say what?"

"no!"

Old Liu and Jing Yun said at the same time, Wen Youqing narrowed his eyes and looked at Jing Yun, "Did the general forget that I am here to investigate the case, if you can't find out, are you responsible?"

"That's not okay, it's too dangerous." Jing Yun said without thinking, "With your small body, the wind in the desert can blow you down."

Lao Liu also reflected this, and persuaded with Jing Yun, the left sentence was too weak and the right sentence was too dangerous, Wen Youqing knew that the two were taking care of him, but she was still so annoyed, she stared at them and walked away without looking back .

Seeing the man leave, Jing Yun also became hoarse, and Lao Liu whispered: "Is it okay to just let Mr. Wen go like this? He seems to be angry."

Thinking of the other party's strong temper, Jing Yun said helplessly, "Go and rest first, I'll go and see him."
