"Mr. Xu was a young man, but he was the number one scholar in the ninth year of Qingyuan, and he was also a famous romantic talent at that time. A few years ago, the Yongle Earthquake was shaken, and Mr. Xu was the parent officer there.

Whether it is saving people or serving porridge, I have done it myself. At that time, I hurt my leg bone and couldn't walk around much, so I became what I am now. "

It was also at that time that I became so timid after seeing too many bones and remains.Qi Yuan's gaze also turned to that little fat man running around.

"So Yan Yan, if you go to sleep after eating every day, except lying down or carrying your back, then you may also become like Master Xu."

Shen Yanhuan: Qi Yuan gave him a hard time, he was refreshed, and continued to think about what he had just thought.

Someone was eager to cover up something, he was driven into a hurry, he knew he had found something, but he didn't know the specifics, so he had to destroy everything.

But he only told Qi Mo the news about what he found. Even Shen Yanhuan didn't know about his meeting with Qi Mo. This must have nothing to do with Qingwu, so all the possibilities point to one person—— Su Lan.

But the directivity is so obvious that it is easy to perceive that it is misleading.

"Go to the county government office tomorrow? Don't wait for Hong Xiao?" Shen Yanhuan asked.

Qi Yuan shook his head and pressed his swollen forehead, "I can't wait anymore, the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, things are far from that simple."

But at this time, Hong Xiao was stopped at the door of the restaurant.

"Get out of the way, I have something important to accompany you!" Hong Xiao was anxious, and stared at the opposite person with watery eyes.

The man was shaking the flagon in his hand, he was drunk with a bit of an idiot, he was carrying a broken sword behind his back, he leaned to block his way, he was quite naughty, but he spit out a bunch of good words .

"Hey, my good brother, just take out your soft sword and compete with my brother and me. If you win, I won't stop you wherever you go. Hey, don't go, you can kill me if you want. , you just fight with me, as long as you use your real skills, I won’t bother you if you lose! Hey, hey, don’t go!”

Ye Zhan blocked the gate, and many spectators had gathered around, pointing at the two of them.

Hong Xiao gritted his teeth, and struck Yu Xiao at the waist with two fingers, a soft sword came out in response and he held it in his hand.

There was a flash of light in Ye Zhan's eyes, and he was gearing up to pull out the long sword behind his back, and was about to meet him, only to hear the wind in his ears, and the smile on Ye Zhan's face became more and more wild.But he didn't want Hong Xiao's figure to disappear in the next second.

Hong Xiao's figure was soft, and she slipped under his arm with a slight pressure.Coupled with Shen Yanhuan's self-confessed lightness kung fu, Ye Zhan only had time to see a red afterimage and the words "Bye bye!" from afar.

"Tch!" The onlookers didn't see anything interesting, and they all expressed their boredom, and the two or three companions soon dispersed.

Ye Zhan withdrew his sword angrily, and told him to run away again!But he changed his mind, "Ruanhong" ran away, wouldn't there still be "Linyan"!

He was happy again, raised his head and took a sip of wine, walked over to the main road of the king's city humming an incoherent tune.

When Qi Yuan and the others arrived at the county government office, Xu Mao was sitting in the lobby with two dark eyes.

It seemed that he hadn't slept all night, and he was still wearing the dusty official dress from last night, looking very down and out.

"Qi Daochang... Alas!" Xu Maochang sighed, "All dead, all dead! No one can be saved!"

Wu Zuo had already been sitting on the table next to the master, writing down the number and name of the dead. After this ordeal, no one in the entire village was left alive, not even a three-year-old child escaped, not to mention What happened before, this time it must be the murderous hand of the villain!

Xu Maodao: "I don't know if Qi Daochang has any clues?"

Qi Yuan nodded slightly, and took out the small porcelain bottle that Qi Mo showed him at that time. I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but Qi Mo didn't take it with him when he left.Shen Yanhuan watched him groping in his arms for a long time, and then took out another stick of incense...

What does this person carry with him every day?

"Lend me your hand."

Qi Yuan poured the contents of the porcelain bottle into the palm of his hand, melted it and smeared it on both sides of Shen Yanhuan's hand. The thing was refreshing and cool, and there was a faint fragrance when he smelled it carefully.

Then he quickly asked the yamen servant to fetch the fire and light the incense in his hand, and put it in his hand, and he quickly retreated to the upper reaches of the wind.

The moment the wind blowing from the corridor cleared away the smoke, Shen Yanhuan clearly felt that the faintly visible fragrance became stronger.Xu Mao scratched his round face and couldn't figure it out, what was he doing?

After burning more than half of the incense in his hand, Qi Yuan finally snuffed it out and led everyone to line up outside the house to bask in the sun. After that, everyone turned into different shades of bright red, only Qi Yuan and Shen Yanhuan who was holding the incense looked normal.

Even if Xu Mao's expression changed in shock this time, he couldn't tell, "What, what is this?! Where did the red corpse come from?"

"Most likely, that person probably didn't expect that I just got this thing, or else it would have really become a lie." Qi Yuan said, knocking on the table to call back Xu Mao's spirit, "But Let’s stop here for the first clue, and you’d better not get involved with the rest.”

"Let's talk about another matter." Qi Yuan said.The red-faced yamen servants took the fan paper to disperse the smoke in the room, and several people returned to the hall again.

"At first when we saw this scene, we all thought they were poisoned to death, so after knowing why it became like this, I ruled out the misleading caused by the color and re-read the results presented by the author..."

"Smothered to death?" Shen Yanhuan interjected rarely, he had also read the paper, the head was congested, the face was swollen, and the spots on the corpse were dark purple, it was obvious that he was suffocated to death, but he had not been strangled by the rope If there are no traces, it can only be smothered to death.

"Yanyan is really smart and world-class." Qi Yuan praised kindly.

Xu Mao carefully considered what he said. Indeed, they started the case on the theory of ghosts and gods. After the investigation, when they looked at the corpse, they couldn't get rid of the preconceived word poisoning.

"Then how do you explain the corpses that melted in Yizhuang?"

"Corpse powder, it should be too late to go now, ask the person who cleaned Yizhuang to bring the broom, there should be some left on it." Qi Yuan said, "As for who made it... people should not be able to catch it, it must be in Yizhuang When the steward brought the second batch of corpses to the county government, he ran away."

Xu Mao immediately ordered the yamen servants to go to Yizhuang to fetch the things, turned around and said seriously: "Then the one who manipulated the corpse and the one who murdered it were done by the same person?"

Since there were no ghosts or goblins, Mr. Xu became more courageous. While grabbing the pen and paper from the master, he wrote down every detail of Qi Yuan's words one by one, while asking questions relentlessly.

Seeing him like this, Qi Yuan knew that he had finally let go and did it, so he was not annoyed by his aggressive tone.

"No, what this person wants to do is to destroy the corpse, and what he wants to do is to destroy the "red" that they accidentally sent into the house with the smoke. "

"The one who actually did the killing is..."

"Qi Daochang!!" An exclamation came from outside the main gate of the county government office, and Qi Yuan choked on his words.

This voice is... Aunt Zhang? "I'll go and have a look." Preventing Xu Mao from asking someone to check, Shen Yanhuan stepped forward and said.

Qi Yuan nodded slightly, and continued what he said just now: "If I'm not wrong, it's a woodcutter."

Seeing him like this, Xu Mao couldn't say anything more, so he could only continue the conversation with him just now.

Shen Yanhuan pushed open the gate of the county government office, and it was indeed Aunt Zhang who was waiting anxiously outside. She seemed to be running all the way here, her hair was bumpy and messy, and she was panting slightly.

"Aunt Zhang, what's the matter?" Shen Yanhuan stepped forward to help her, seeing him, Aunt Zhang looked a little unnatural.But there are priorities, and it is important to solve the immediate matter first.

Aunt Zhang patted her thigh: "Hey! Two people fought at the gate of Linhua Zhai! There are many pedestrians coming and going on that road, and the horses they rode were frightened and overturned the shops and stalls all over the place. Go back quickly Let's see!"

Shen Yanhuan: "..."

Shen Yanhuan: Are you sick? It's broad daylight!

"Then let me go and have a look, please tell him later." After Shen Yanhuan finished speaking, she turned over and jumped onto the wall, stepping on the bricks along the roof to the most prosperous street in the royal city. He quickly left Aunt Zhang's loud voice behind.

"Qi Daochang!! Your wife said he went back first!!"

can't hear can't hear!This time it is the same Aunt Zhang that he saw when he just woke up!

He was traveling alone at a very fast speed, and within a short while he saw the tall pavilion of Linhuazhai, and when he got closer, he was blocked by the crowd on the third floor and the third floor outside. Didn't the crowd burst into applause and applause? The discerning hawkers pushed their carts early to sell herbal tea and melons and fruits, and the business seemed to be quite good.

Shen Yanhuan:

What about disturbing pedestrians?

"Little Yan!"

Hearing this shout, Shen Yanhuan looked up subconsciously. When he was in Qingwu, the old man liked to call him "Little Ah Yan" every day behind him, just like a strange old man.

However, Bai Rensheng did not appear here. It was Qi Mo who was sitting on the roof of the highest Xufeng Pavilion in Linhuazhai and waving wildly at him, and whoever was sitting next to him was Su Lan.Shen Yanhuan turned her face indifferently.

On the other hand, Qi Mo was relentless, "Little Ayan! Here are the hibiscus cakes made by the imperial chef! There are also honeydew melons from the northwest!"

……

hateful!His body moved by itself!

In the next second, Shen Yanhuan had already appeared beside those two people.

Qi Mo generously made room for him to sit down.I have to say that the view from this place is really good, and you can clearly see every move of the two people surrounded by the crowd below.

The one in the red clothes is holding a soft sword, his movements are extremely flexible, and his set of footwork is even more exquisite, unpredictable and illusory, which can easily confuse the opponent, while the other person who is wrestling with him is straightforward and straightforward, until it breaks Overcoming his confusion, the two competed evenly.

Shen Yanhuan saw that the man in red was Hong Xiao.He came here at the right time, is it because of her sister?Then why do you fight with people?
