It had just rained, and the road had become a little muddy, but fortunately there was a layer of fine sand on top of it, and it was still possible to move on. The two carriages walked along the official road unhurriedly, because it was an official road, and it was the Central Plains, not Shandong, which was plagued by horses, so they were not afraid of someone blocking the road and robbing the road. After a day's journey, the two carriages had already arrived in Luhun County. As soon as I entered the city gate of Luhun County, I saw a long line of people lined up there, regardless of whether they entered the city or went out of the city, they had to be stopped by a few people wearing fast clothes to ask for a while before letting them go. The two carriages were lined up at the back, and there were quite a lot of people in the front row, and everyone was also sitting in the carriage all the way with sore backs and legs, and their backs ached, so they all jumped off the carriage at this moment.

"But what happened in Luhun County? I've never been so guarded when I've passed through here before. After getting out of the carriage, the students looked at the slowly moving procession, and one of them said.

As he spoke, he saw Liu Fang, who was driving in the carriage in front of him, also jumped down, and then opened the curtain and helped Old Master Yan get down from the carriage with Xu Yan. A group of students hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, and then stood aside.

The Chang'an official surnamed Xu stretched his neck to look ahead, and when he saw that there were so many people lined up, he frowned, and said to Old Master Yan: "Lord Yan, the lower officials see that this line is so long, and if it goes down like this, I am afraid that it will have to wait until it gets dark, and we will have to find an inn to stay in after entering the city. ”

Yan Shigu looked at the sky, then looked at the passers-by in front of him, and shook his head: "It's okay, let's wait a little longer, if you go and show your identity, you will have to attract the county order with your whiteness, and I am afraid that it will not be quiet at night." You and I are just passing by, and we will leave early tomorrow morning, so don't disturb people. ”

"No!" Xu Yanzu nodded, and then lined up in the line and stopped talking.

Somehow, Xia Hongsheng felt that the name Xu Yanzu was a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, but he really couldn't remember who this person was, he was idle and bored in the crowd at the moment, and with a turn of his eyes, he turned around and arched his hand towards a person who looked like a farmer in the back, and asked with a smile: "This uncle, the kid is polite!" The kid passed by here a while ago, and the city gate was still open, why was he so vigilant this time, the kid was really curious, so he dared to ask you, but something happened in this Luhun City? ”

The farmer looked at Xia Hongsheng and saw that he looked bookish, and he was wearing a long shirt that only scholars wear, although it was linen, it was clean, and his attitude was gentle and polite, so he also retreated a little and arched his hand, and replied: "Look at the son's line, he is a scholar who travels to study, right?" The good godfather knew that we were indeed in and out of our own way, but three days ago, there were gangsters in the city who attacked with knives for two nights, slashed and killed two people, and threw them on the street. Our county made the adults angry and vowed to find the murderer, so martial law was closed. ”

"I see, thank you for this uncle!" Xia Hongsheng gave a polite salute, and then turned around.

When I saw Xia Hongsheng ask the old farmer, several students also looked over and listened, and naturally they all heard what the old farmer said just now, and at this moment he showed a somewhat frightened look, but he heard Xu Qixian sigh in surprise: "It sounds weird and scary, not only did he cut his head, but even his body was cut to shreds, and he was thrown on the street, it was extremely hateful, this murderer should be Ling Chi!" ”

Hearing Xu Qixian's words, several other students also nodded with a look of concern, and the student surnamed Wan said again: "I think we should leave here as soon as possible, such a fierce villain, we must catch it quickly." ”

"Killing someone, cutting off the head and cutting the body to pieces, this is called excessive killing, the villain must be a person who has a big grudge against the deceased, you can start looking for the villain from this aspect!" Xia Hongsheng's favorite thing to watch in his later life is science fiction and criminal investigation American dramas, at this time I heard them say this, and suddenly remembered what I had watched before. Hehe, the little brother is sure that the villain who killed him was in the crowd of onlookers after the body was found. Three days have passed, and there is still no trace of the gangster, and the whole city is on guard, which will bring the gangster psychological pleasure, make him more confident, and stimulate the gangster's desire to express himself, if he can't catch him, the younger brother is expected to die again in this Luhun county in the next few days. If the two people before were murderers venting their anger for revenge, then if there are dead people later, it will be the murderer himself. Of course, the younger brother's assertion is based on the assumption that there will be a person with the same death in the future, if Lu Hun has been stable in the city since then, and there is no more incident, it means that the villain is simply revenge and killing, and after revenge, the goal has been achieved, either hidden or far away. ”

"Nonsense, murder, murder, and then don't run away quickly, how can you go to watch? Senior Brother Xia was really joking. Xu Qixian disagreed with Xia Hongsheng's words.

Xia Hongsheng didn't refute it, he just smiled, he was originally just for Zhuang Bo to get over his addiction, imitating the criminal psychology he had seen in later lives. That is one of Xia Hongsheng's favorite American dramas, people's psychology is very magical, it is because of watching this American drama, in later generations, Xia Hongsheng also deliberately taught himself psychology and took the psychological counselor exam, but unfortunately before the results came out, he went back to the Tang Dynasty to report first.

Several students discussed the matter of killing people wherever they wanted, and Old Master Yan didn't stop them, just brushed his beard and looked at them with a smile, while talking a few words with Xu Yanzu.

The line was getting shorter, and finally it was their turn.

Old Master Yan stood there, although he had a smile on his face, he was not angry and arrogant, and his bearing was extraordinary, Xu Yan was also an official in the capital, and he was standing there at the moment facing the arrest of the soon, and he immediately had another momentum. At this moment, seeing that these two people have an extraordinary bearing, and they also went out with their attendants, they became a lot more polite, and they didn't scold others like Fang Cai, but joined hands and said to Yan Shigu: "This old man, there are villains in the city, and he killed two people in a row and exposed their bodies on the street, and his methods are extremely cruel and frustrated. The county commander ordered us to guard the city gate strictly, and there could be no negligence. We are waiting for the arrest of the gangsters, it is our duty to arrest the gangsters, the old man has two carriages, and we need to search before we can let the old man and others enter the city, but we have offended. ”

"The old man took a few students to Luoyang City, and after this place, this incident coincided, and he should act according to the rules, and this catcher is about to be invited." Yan Shigu didn't look down on him because he was just a quick catcher, he said very politely, and then motioned for the others to get out of the way.

A few of the catchers quickly searched on the carriage, and after a few more interrogations, they found nothing, and then let the group into the city.

Everyone was already hungry, hurriedly found an inn to stay, ate, Yan Shigu was tired of doing a carriage for a day, so he told a few people to rest early, and continued to set off early the next morning, to arrive in Luoyang City before evening.

Everyone went to bed early, Xia Hongsheng lay on the bed, sat in the carriage for a day, only felt that his body was sore, and he was much more comfortable after a trip, and he was sleepy, and he heard the sound of Wuhou passing by outside in a daze, and soon fell asleep.

I don't know how long I've been asleep, and in a daze, I seem to hear the door creak, but my consciousness is drowsy, and I can't tell whether it's real or dreamy, so I turned over with my mouth and fell asleep again.

I don't know how long it took to sleep, but suddenly I heard a scream outside, and Xia Hongsheng, who was frightened, sat up and looked outside the window, it was still dark.

Damn, who's going to howl in the middle of the night! Xia Hongsheng was suddenly awakened, he was in a bad mood, he walked to the window in a daze, and was about to push open the window to say something, but he didn't open it after pulling it, only to suddenly realize that this was not the sliding glass in his house, but the ancient wooden window, and then he completely woke up, and remembered that he had arrived in the Tang Dynasty inexplicably.

When I woke up, I realized that something was wrong in the house.

First smelled a foul smell, mixed with a strong fishy smell, and then noticed that there was a mess outside, Xia Hongsheng frowned, and was about to walk towards the door, when he suddenly heard his door being slammed hard, and the sound sounded like he wanted to kick the door open.

Xia Hongsheng's heart sank, he hurriedly looked around, rushed over and picked up a vase, and was about to hide behind the door, but heard a voice outside shouting: "Senior brother!" Hongsheng! ”

When Xia Hongsheng heard that it was Xu Qixian's voice, he quickly put down the vase, rushed over in two steps to remove the wooden rafters behind the door, and opened the door.

Suddenly, Xia Hongsheng's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he only felt that his stomach was rolling, and then as soon as he bent over, he spit out with a "whoosh".

In the aisle in front of Xia Hongsheng's door, about two or three steps away, a mass of flesh and blood that was not human-shaped was scattered there, one arm was cut off, the other fingers on his hand were clenched into fists, and only the index finger was stretched out, pointing straight at Xia Hongsheng's room!
