The winter night was cold, most people went to bed early, and not many people noticed that the sky was falling with snow on the second watch. A black shadow rolled into Qin's house, squatted down behind the flowers and trees, and listened intently. There was the sound of footsteps along the cloister, and someone approached with a lantern.

"It's so late, they're still drinking, they have to add vegetables, they can sleep until noon, we have to get up early to work."

"Sister Chunmei, don't say it, hurry up and send the food, if it's cold, it's still us who will be scolded." The two maidens hurried past with trays, and the black shadow quietly got up and followed.

In front of it is a fine house, with doors and windows closed and brightly lit. The two maids left after delivering the food, and the black shadow hid behind the pillar, waited for a while, and saw that there was no one around, so he quietly sneaked under the window. Click through the window paper and peek in with one eye. There was a big table in the room, the cups and plates on the table were in disarray, and two people were still drinking drunk, one of whom was Qin Haiming.

The black shadow pulled out a short knife from his waist, pushed the door straight open, and broke in?

The cold wind wrapped in snowflakes drifted in, the temperature suddenly froze, Ren Xinghe raised his head and wanted to scold angrily, but in his drunken eyes, he found that the person who came was dressed in black, not like a maid ring, and said with a stammering mouth: "You, who are you, what do you want to do?" ”

The black shadow didn't speak, the cold light flashed, and Ren Xinghe fell to the ground screaming. Qin Haiming was so frightened that he fell from his chair to the ground and crawled towards the table. The man in black sneered, grabbed Qin Haiming's feet and necks and pulled him out, Qin Haiming's upper and lower teeth touched, and he was so frightened that he couldn't finish his words, "Spare your life...... Money...... Give money...... Ahh

The man in black grabbed the dish on the table with his hand, stuffed a few mouthfuls indiscriminately, picked up the flask and poured it again, and then turned around and disappeared into the darkness the same way. After half a pillar of incense, the two maid rings reappeared, and when they saw the door open, they looked inside, and the two people fell in a pool of blood.

"Murdered." The mournful screams echoed in the sky above the Qin Mansion, the lights were lit up, hurried footsteps sounded, and cries rang out.

The murder case is not trivial, not to mention that one of the people who died was a lifter, and Feng Tingshi arrived in person with the officials. Since the beginning of this year, it has not been smooth, first Yuan Tianjiao, then greeted the minister, and at the end of the year, there was a murder case, Feng Shaojun sat in the chair, his face sinking like water.

Father Qin was in tears on the side, crying and asking Lord Futai to call the shots. The effort was not great, and he came in to report the autopsy, Jiang Zhutou walked in, and said with a forked hand: "My lord, the villain has found the footprints of the murderer." ”

"Oh", Feng Shaojun was drowsy when he heard this, and when he heard this, he stood up and said, "Take this official to have a look." The footprints were very clear in the snow, and they followed the footprints to the wall, and the murderer obviously climbed over the wall and left.

Jiang Zhutou has been handling cases for many years, pointing to the footprints and saying: "My lord, please look, the murderer's shoes are seven inches and a half inches long, and he is estimated to be more than seven feet tall, and his weight is about one hundred and seventy pounds from the depth of his footprints." The shoe print is deep in front and shallow in the back, indicating that the person is leaning forward when walking, or lifting his qi upward when walking, judging from the traces left on the wall, it should be a kung fu body. ”

Feng Shaojun nodded again and again, and said approvingly: "Jiang Zhutou is worthy of being a good hand for many years, and so many things can be seen from a footprint. If this case is solved, you should be the first to take credit. ”

Back in the house, Feng Shaojun asked, "Qin Haiming can have grudges with people on weekdays. ”

Father Qin wiped his tears and said, "Yesterday, Xiao'er had an argument with someone in front of the door, and that person also beat Ren Juren, shouldn't he have committed murder." ”

"Oh, what's that man's name?"

"I heard Xiao'er say that the person is Xinke Xie Yuan, his name is Jiang Anyi."

Jiang Anyi, Feng Shaojun shook his head again and again, Jiang Anyi's image is fundamentally inconsistent with Jiang Zhutou's description, and the weight alone is very different. Feng Shaojun asked again: "If you think about it carefully, is there anyone else?" ”

Father Qin recalled seriously for a moment, and suddenly remembered one thing, and said: "More than four months ago, Xiao'er was beaten severely, I asked him who he offended, at first he refused to tell me, and then he was forced to say that he had offended Zhang Bojin and his son, and the Zhang family and his son asked someone to beat him. ”

Zhang Bojin father and son, Feng Shaojun's heart moved, how did this matter have anything to do with the Yuan Tianjiao. The interrogation learned from the Yuantian disciples captured by Guo Fu that Guo Jingshan often sent his subordinates to do some blackmail, intimidation, and beating, and dug up several corpses from the bamboo forest behind Guojiazhuang Xiangtang.

Thinking of this, Feng Shaojun ordered: "Go and invite Miss Xinfei." "Xin Fei has been living in the post house of Wenping Mansion for the past few months, Guo Jingshan has not been arrested, and her mission will not be finished.

After receiving the news from the assassin Shi that it was suspected that Guo Jingshan had killed someone, Xin Fei soon came to Qin's house. After listening to Jiang Zhutou's analysis, he went to the courtyard wall to look at the traces, and someone copied the palm prints, compared them with the palm prints found in Guo's mansion last time, and came to a consistent conclusion. This is undoubtedly good news for Xin Fei and others, Guo Jingshan has appeared again, as long as he shows up, he will definitely leave traces, and Guo Jingshan can't run away.

The next day, Jiang Anyi was invited to the government office for questioning, and Jiang Anyi had a good impression of this assassin history senior, and his case was the senior, which could be said to be the grace of promotion. Jiang Anyi bowed deeply to Feng Tingshi after the public case, and said: "Anyi has seen my lord, I haven't seen you for a year, and my lord's demeanor is better than before." ”

Feng Tingshi laughed and said: "Anyi, you and I are both from Zechang Academy, speaking of which, I am still your senior, green out of the blue, seeing you think of yourself back then, I can't help but sigh that the years are easy to get old, and the new generation replaces the old." ”

"Adults are in the prime of life, and it is also expected to visit the pavilion, and it is a blessing to be able to go out of Zechang Academy with adults, and it is a blessing for the academy."

Feng Tingshi laughed again and again, and Xin Fei, who was sitting on the side, secretly despised it, this Jiang Anyi was young, and his kung fu was perfect.

After the cold noise, Feng Tingshi began to ask the case: "Jiang Anyi, where were you last night?" ”

When he came, Jiang Anyi had already learned the reason, and responded calmly: "Lord Hui, Wansheng drank in the inn with a few friends last night, and only dispersed at the beginning of the shift, and then rested peacefully. ”

Feng Tingshi asked a few more words, seeing that there was nothing suspicious, and looked at Xin Fei, meaning that she had something to ask?

"Jiang Anyi, do you know martial arts?" Xin Fei spoke amazingly.

Jiang Anyi already knew that Xin Fei was a big figure in Longwei, so he was deeply wary of her, and replied carefully: "I liked fists and legs in my later life, and later I was instructed by Master Hongxin, so I can be regarded as knowing some martial arts." ”

Last time in Anyang Mansion, Jiang Anyi showed the Dharma Protector wooden card given by Master Hongxin, and knew that Xinfei respected Master Hongxin very much, so he pushed everything to Master Hongxin. Sure enough, Xin Fei smiled and said: "Master Hongxin's kung fu is unfathomable, you can pass on him, and the fortune is not shallow." Signaling to Feng Tingshi, she had nothing to ask.

The more Feng Tingshi looked at Jiang Anyi, the more pleasing he became, and said with a smile: "Anyi, in the evening, the old man is holding a banquet in Wenqing Building, introducing you to Texas celebrities, in order to fulfill the responsibility of a senior." ”

Jiang Anyi hurriedly said respectfully: "The grace of the adult's cultivation, Anyi is unforgettable. ”

Of course, Jiang Anyi couldn't let Feng Tingshi break the fee, he came to Wenqing Lou early to pay the deposit, and went to the Ping'an Bamboo Art Store to borrow a few clever guys to help welcome customers.

Ask Qinglou, hanging lights, bright lights, Texas Feng Tingshi is here tonight to feast on Xinke Xie Yuanjiang Anyi, who doesn't know, who doesn't know, who doesn't envy. Just after the unitary hour, cars and horses began to appear in front of the Qinglou. The greeting guy was dressed in new clothes and cheered up to greet the guest at the door.

Invitations are hard to find, originally there were only about 100 copies, except for the big and small officials and celebrities in the house, there are not many invitations left. There are many wealthy businessmen in Wenping Mansion, this banquet is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them, even if they can't talk to Taishou and Jiang Anyi, it is not bad to be able to meet other nobles, let the children and nephews see the scene, and know a few friends, which is also good for their future.

Liu Yixing came early to help Jiang Anyi welcome the guests, just to see him talking and laughing with every visitor, Jiang Anyi was very fortunate that he invited the right person. Zhao Nanzhong also came, and he was noisy with people in the building, and he hadn't seen it for four months, Zhao Juren had gained a lot of weight, his face was full of red light, and he seemed to be living a very nourishing life.

As soon as the time arrived, the music was high, and Feng Tingshi accompanied Miss Xinfei with the officials of the state capital. In the sound of drums, the maid carried a lantern in front of the building, and asked Boss Huang of Qinglou to guide the way in person, Feng Taishou and Jiang Anyi walked hand in hand, and walked into the building surrounded by everyone.

Rows of red candles exude a charming and bright brilliance under the contrast of the bronze mirror, a faint fragrance diffuses in the air, the floor is polished, and dozens of young and beautiful maids stand scattered under the pillars everywhere, one by one with a smile on their eyebrows, quiet and soft.

Sixteen tables of banquets were placed in the room, cleverly separated by screens and light gauze, and in the center was a large ebony table for twenty people, on which were lined with gold bowls, jade plates, ivory chopsticks, which was indescribably luxurious. Feng Taishou, Jiang Anyi and others sat down, everyone looked for seats, and the maids waited like colorful butterflies, and after a while, the steaming wine and food were served.

Feng Taishou stood up, coughed lightly, and asked the Qinglou to be quiet, only to hear Feng Taishou's angry voice echoing: "Today, Feng Mou set up a banquet here to introduce Jiang Anyi, the new branch of the Yuanlang, for the princes, and the princes raised their glasses to congratulate Jiang Jieyuan." ”

Jiang Anyi hurriedly got up and said humbly: "The kid doesn't dare to be, this cup should be too shou shou shou shou and the shou shou of all the princes here." ”

Everyone drank and the music started, "Congratulations on the opening of the feast, and the painting hall is like embroidery." The smoke sprays beasts, and the curtain is fragrant. A little star turns into a human show. Shaoyin playing, two lines of red sleeves, and persuading longevity wine", it is Jiang Anyi's "Dotting the Lips" written at the birthday banquet of the king of Anyang, changing "birthday celebration" to "congratulations", the same singing, the same romance.

"Anyi, your song "Dian Jiang Lip" is sung all over the country, and today's feast, you might as well leave another good story." Feng Shaojun looked at Jiang Anyi with deep meaning, if Jiang Anyi could make a poem at the banquet for which he became famous, then his reputation would naturally rise.

"The elder's life, don't dare to resign, Rong An Yi thinks about it." Hearing that Jiang Anyi was going to make a new word, everyone quieted down, looked at Jiang Anyi in unison, and waited.

"The flat mountain fence leans against the clear sky, and the mountains are in the middle of nothing. Weeping willows in front of the hand planting hall, don't come to a few spring breezes? The article is too guarded, waving thousands of words, and drinking thousands of bells. Xingle must be young, and he will look at this prince in front of him. ”

"Okay", the cheers roared, Feng Shaojun was even more happy with red face, raised his glass and said: "Anyi, the old man admits your victory, even if the old man is lonely in this life, he will remain forever because of your name." Come on, come on, the old man toasts you a glass and thanks you for your good words. ”

Xin Fei recited several times, her starry eyes flashed, she looked at Jiang Anyi with admiration, and called out in a coquettish voice: "Good words, worthy of the name of Jiangnan words." Cheer up, and wait for the slave family to sing for Feng Tingshi. ”
