Xia Hongsheng's face was dark and blue, staring at the large pool of blood on the ground. The blood stained the dead grass on the ground red, soaked the sand, and was extremely dazzling. The cold wind blew, rolling up bursts of blood.

The corpse had been carried away by the people of the government, and the county order was sweating, standing in front of Xia Hongsheng and not daring to make a sound.

The maid's death was the same as that of the two previous farmers, and the neck was cut with a knife, so deep that the spine could be seen. After he died, he was also stabbed with a dagger and covered with wounds. What is different is that this time the corpse appeared directly at the door of Xia Hongsheng's mansion. The door of the house was closed, and the farmer who was passing by outside saw a person lying on the door, walked closer to take a look, and let out an exclamation, and the little guy in the door opened the door, and the corpse fell in.

"This ...... Hou Ye, the lower officials will definitely make every effort to investigate this case and arrest the murderer as soon as possible, please rest assured Hou Ye! The lower official is going to patrol the Zhuangzi quickly! The county commander gritted his teeth, but still walked to Xia Hongsheng and bowed, and said with some trepidation.

Xia Hongsheng slowly took a breath and said in a deep voice: "If it's just a personal grudge, why do you need to put her body on the Benhou Gate?" Brother Yi, do you remember what I said earlier, so far, the common denominator found in the two dealers? ”

Yi Qiulou's eyes froze, and he said: "Remember, you said that the common thing that those two farmers found in the two farmers is that they are just farmers in Zhuangzi. ”

"Yes, that's what the three of them have in common now." Xia Hongsheng looked at the pool of blood on the ground in front of the door: "Those two villagers, and this maid, what they have in common." It's that they're all my people. ”

"Say so. It's not that they've offended anyone. It was the one who caused the murder. But because they were from the Hou Mansion, they were killed. In other words, the murderer is coming at you! Yi Qiulou's eyes tightened, and he said.

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "A person who regards me as an enemy, when he arrived at Zhuangzi, he happened to hear two Zhuangzi walking and talking about his enemy, me. As soon as they heard me. Immediately he became angry, lost his mind, and tried to take revenge on me, and in order to vent his anger in his heart, he brutally killed the two men. When he heard that I had come back to Jingyang because of this incident, he killed a maid from the Hou Mansion and put the body at the door to provoke me. Brother Yi, the murderer, must be nearby at this moment. Hidden in the dark, a pair of eyes staring at me deadly. I want to see how I react when I see his provocation. Brother Yi, is the wound still caused by a short dagger? ”

"Yes." Yi Qiulou nodded.

Xia Hongsheng asked himself that since he crossed over to Datang, he has always adhered to the concept of win-win cooperation to make friends with others, in line with the principle that everyone is really good, Xia Hongsheng believes that he has not offended anyone. So it is obvious that it can make him resentful of himself to such an extent. He was so angry with himself that he wanted to kill his own Zhuangzi and the people in the house to vent his anger, and he used a short blade, thinking about it, there would be no one else.

"Alas......" Xia Hongsheng sighed, shook his head, and muttered: "It's really ghostly!" ”

"Master Hou already has a clue?!" When the county magistrate heard Xia Hongsheng say this, he hurriedly asked.

"You don't have to worry about this matter anymore, and withdraw all those arrests quickly." Xia Hongsheng said to the county order, then walked out of the door, stood at the door and slowly glanced around, and then suddenly said loudly: "I know it's you, and I know you can hear it." It's a matter between you and me, don't hurt other innocent people anymore. I have left you a way to live, as long as you stay in the Turks honestly, and even if you return to Datang and never appear incognito, you will be able to live in peace. Come out, don't completely cut off the little good feeling I have for you in my heart. ”

There was no movement around, only the cold winter wind swept by.

After a long time, Xia Hongsheng shook his head, turned around, and said, "Brother Yi, I bother you to stay here tonight and take care of the house." Butler, you and I will hurry back to Beijing and transfer the right Yulin guards to settle in. ”

Yi Qiulou was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, but when he saw Xia Hongsheng secretly giving him a look, he stopped talking.

Everyone went back to the mansion, made a little preparation, and soon, they saw Xia Hongsheng and the housekeeper walking out of it again, the horses were ready outside the door at the moment, Xia Hongsheng and the housekeeper turned over and got on the horse, Yi Qiulou walked out of the mansion, arched his hand to Xia Hongsheng on horseback, and said: "Brother Xia, be careful on the road, I am in the house, and I will be thoughtful." If that villain dares to come, Yi will tell him to come and never return! ”

"In this way, there is Brother Lao Yi!" Xia Hongsheng thanked him on the horseback, then pulled the reins of the horse, raised the horsewhip and whipped it hard, and galloped out.

The galloping horses swept up the smoke and dust along the way, and in the remnant sun like blood, it seemed to render a touch of desert-like desolation. But the wind that hit his face was still cold and biting, and even if he was wearing a hand cage, his knuckles were still painful.

Jingyang County has been left far behind, but Chang'an City has still not appeared at the end of sight. There are very few people on the road, and they haven't fished alone in the cold river and snow, but it seems that they have disappeared.

As the sun began to sink in the west, the sky began to darken.

Suddenly, a cold light suddenly rushed out in front of Xia Hongsheng, and flew straight towards the front door. Before Xia Hongsheng could react, he suddenly felt that he was pulled behind him, and his body immediately slipped off the horse, and suddenly, he saw a figure suddenly burst out, a faint green light flashed in his hand, and immediately wiped it on Xia Hongsheng's neck.

"Bell!" With a bang, the faint dark light was bounced away, and a horizontal knife appeared in front of Xia Hongsheng at some point, blocking Fang Cai's attack.

The horizontal knife did not stop, and immediately chased after it, and the figure was not to be outdone, and the two short blades in his hand crossed and rushed forward.

The short blade and the horizontal knife collided in the air, making a crisp sound, and the figure holding the double blade turned suddenly, and the body twisted at an unbelievable angle, and with a sharp cut in his hand, the two short blades immediately slashed towards the two sides of the other party's ribs. The person on the other side reacted very quickly, his body immediately leaned back, and at the same time kicked the assassin's wrist, the assassin missed the blow, and his body turned sharply, quickly to the back, and the sound of clanging was endless!

In the darkness, the corners of Xia Hongsheng's mouth rose - anger makes people lose their minds and make people impulsive. (To be continued.) )
