The autumn is bleak and cold, the sun is shining, the afterglow is like fog, and the sky and earth are filled with a smoky red color.

The mottled Weiling Mansion city wall is bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, the ancient Weiling City exudes a solemn atmosphere, as one of the four famous cities today, the Weiling City has a history of more than 300 years, built on the bank of the Huijiang River, and then there is Qiyun Mountain as the backing, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the climate is pleasant, and it is also the best place for many retired courtiers to choose to spend their old age in peace.

At dusk, the gate of Weiling City has not yet been closed, and the people who enter and exit the city gate are still in an endless stream, the captain of the city gate is sitting on a small chair under the city wall at this time, while picking a few small pimples on his neck with his hand, and on the other hand, he is looking at the remnant sun that is about to fall on the horizon, until the first half an hour later, the city gate will be closed, and after the shift change, go to Yanluofang to drink a few cups of flower wine, and find his good girl to learn about his skills.

Most of the guards guarding the gate were also sleepy and unmotivated, but there was a small soldier among them. But Zi still checked the vehicles and goods in and out of the city gate very carefully, and those who were familiar with such a situation knew in their hearts that such a conscientious little soldier. Naturally, he is a recruit who has just been transferred, and the veteran soldier will not have such leisure and leisure.

A rapid sound of horses' hooves came from the official road outside the city, the rumbling was extremely deafening, the captain of the gate guard suddenly frowned, and looked towards the horse's hooves, only to see the dust on the official road, and several high-headed horses were rushing to this side like thunder and lightning, and the momentum was extremely strong.

The gatekeeper immediately got up, picked up the saber in his hand, and his face was slightly angry, but as the horse approached the gate, the gatekeeper's face showed a look of surprise.

There are only six people to ride, but the momentum is strong, but it is better than a hundred horses, the six riders are all dressed in purple daze, and wear a square purple hat on their heads, the dahu flutters in the wind, hunting sounds, and it is extremely powerful.

The people inside and outside the city gate also saw the riders galloping towards them and dodged one after another, but the dozen or so sleepy soldiers were shocked at this time and clenched their swords one after another.

The captain of the gate raised his hand and motioned to the crowd not to act rashly, but the recruit was brave enough to ignore the rules, and had already shouted, "Stop your horses!" ”

The six horsemen had already arrived at the city gate in the blink of an eye, and they were not ready to stop at all, and they didn't even care that there were still people under the city gate, but they heard someone among the six horsemen shouting coldly: "Get out of the way!" ”

Seeing that the horses did not stop, everyone dodged one after another, and some soldiers were already shouting and scolding: "Stop and be inspected, dare to go straight to the city gate, do you want to rebel?" ”

But the six horsemen swept by like the wind, and rushed straight into the city gate, and the new soldier egg. Zi pulled out his knife and slashed at the last horseman, who knew that the man's reaction was much faster than him, the recruit's broadsword had just been chopped, but the man's whip had been drawn out like a poisonous snake, and hit the recruit's shoulder fiercely, and the sound of "click" was heard, and the recruit's egg. The son screamed, and his shoulder blades were broken by the whip, and the rider's eyes were as cold as a blade, and in the rumbling sound of the horse's hooves, he had already collected the whip and followed his companions.

The recruit's broadsword had already landed, his left hand was covering his shoulder, his face was full of pain, and among the other soldiers, one of the soldiers had already shouted: "Brothers, this is a thief, let's chase it!" ”

"Shut up!" The captain of the city gate rushed forward, his face was full of anger, but his eyes were full of horror, and he actually kicked out in front of the recruit, right in the heart of the recruit, and the recruit screamed "oops" and was kicked to the ground.

The people who came in and out of the city gate were all shocked, and the scene that appeared just now was really surprising, but people couldn't figure out why the group of knights rushed into the city unscrupulously, and the officers and soldiers guarding the gate did not chase after them, but why did they still do it themselves.

The captain of the gate guard kicked the recruit again like crazy, and scolded sharply: "Who told you to do it? Do you want to die or not, do you want to kill everyone? Just a head and going crazy here? ”

Seeing this, the soldiers next to him all looked at each other, but an older soldier hurriedly went up to stop him and persuaded: "Captain Liang, he just came over, and he is not sensible, don't worry about him in general...... If you really kill him, it's hard to explain it to the top! ”

Captain Liang was still angry, and said angrily: "Third child, do you know, we may all be affected by this bastard, and we will have to move our heads if we don't do it!" ”

The third one frowned and said, "This ...... Where does this begin? ”

"Third child, you are also a veteran, you really have no eyesight like this." Captain Liang smiled bitterly: "Can't you see the origin of that group of people? How can people like us offend them? I don't know how he died when the time came. ”

The third child said cautiously: "I also feel that it is not small, but ...... They were walking so fast that they didn't know what it was all about! ”

"Didn't you see the Flowing Cloud Knife on their waists?" Captain Liang clenched his fists and said, "Can you see what color the leader's boots are?" ”

"Flowing Cloud Knife?" The third child's face changed dramatically at this time, and his eyes also showed a look of horror: "Captain Liang, you mean...... They are...... Be......! His voice trembled, and he was speechless for a while.

Captain Liang sighed: "Who said no, in this world, there are other people who dare to wear the Liuyun Knife?" The red boots are at the top, you know what they weigh, right? He only needs to lift a finger, and all of us will have to move our heads......! Pointing to the new soldier who was groaning in pain on the ground, he said: "Lao Tzu is really going to die by then, and the first one will have to kill this bastard alive first!" ”

……

……

Shunping Avenue is an important avenue in Weiling City, and along this avenue to the end, it is the most magnificent mansion in Weiling City, and the people in the city call it "Fang Yuan".

The owner of Fang Yuan is the former household servant Fang Lao Mada, this Fang Lao Mada's life is legendary, for the rise of the Great Qin Empire has made countless contributions, after leaving in his later years, he came to the southern Weiling City to live a peaceful life, living a quiet life of raising flowers and grass, his mansion, is the current Emperor His Majesty personally ordered people to spend two years to build, is to commend the old man Fang for the Great Qin country's merits, and Fang Yuan's door on the head of the "Fang Jing Nourishing Heart" four words, is also written by His Majesty the Emperor himself, It is engraved.

Such a character is naturally a great person, that is, the governor of Weiling Mansion, and he also received the favor of this old man back then, so in this city, Old Lady Fang is equivalent to a figure like the Emperor Taishang, and every word he says is equivalent to a holy decree in Weiling City.

It's just that since four days ago, the four doors of the entire square garden have been closed, and around the mansion, the elite soldiers of the guard have been transferred, and no idler can get close to this mansion.

……

After the six riders in purple coats entered the city, they still swept through the streets and alleys of the city like lightning, and when they passed a teahouse, there was a head exposed in front of the teahouse.

The teahouse is not big, but there are many guests inside, all whispering, but many people saw the six horsemen passing by outside the door, so some people shook their heads and sighed: "We're only afraid that something big will happen in Weiling Mansion." ”

The shopkeeper of the teahouse walked to a small table and sat down, there were three scholars in long shirts sitting on the table, one of whom had already lowered his voice and said: "I just heard someone say that General Feng and the thirteen Taibao under him were all killed by the Xiliang people, and this matter has not faded away, and there is another incident at the end of our Weiling Mansion, it seems that this year is not a good year." ”

The shopkeeper of the teahouse said softly: "Mr. Sun, do you really think that something big is happening in Fang Yuan?" ”

"Obviously." Mr. Sun stroked his beard and said, "You don't look at it, this time I transferred elite soldiers from the guard, if it is an ordinary thing, where can I use this kind of battle." ”

A gray-shirted middle-aged man next to him also lowered his voice and said, "Can you see those knights who just passed?" These eagles and dogs have all come to Weiling Mansion, do you think things are still small? ”

"Shouldn't there be some murder in Fang Yuan?" The other said softly.

Mr. Sun smiled faintly and said, "Even if it's a homicide, it's a great homicide." You haven't seen it, the Governor and Commander Yuan have been staying in Fang Yuan all day long, the relationship between these two has never been harmonious, and they rarely get together, but this time they joined forces...... Hehe, in a few days, I'm afraid that something earth-shattering will be announced. ”

These people were whispering, but at another table not far away, there was only one tea guest, dressed in gray cloth clothes, drinking tea in the teahouse, but also wearing a hat.

Hearing the discussion of several people next to him, the corner of this person's mouth flashed a weird smile, and he didn't sit much, threw a few copper coins on the table, picked up a black package next to him, and walked out of the teahouse leisurely.

……

……

The six horsemen came to the front gate of Fang Yuan from the flying horse, the soldiers guarding the door immediately clenched their knives, the six horsemen reined in the horse, and the leader raised his head, looked at the big plaque with the words "Fang Jing Nourishing Heart" at the door, and waved his hand lightly, a knight urged the horse to take a few steps forward, and took out a black bronze medal from his arms, which simply said the word "divine clothes".

"Wait a minute, sir!" When the guard saw the bronze medal, he immediately changed color, hurriedly saluted, and then quickly turned to report it.

All six knights wore scimitars around their waists, but the scabbards were carved with clouds, and all five wore blue boots, except for the leader, who wore red boots.

The leader was only about thirty years old, with fair skin, very light eyebrows, very thin lips, and no expression on his face, but his eyes had a hint of coldness, but they were as cold and sharp as a sword.

The guard called open the door, muttered a few words to the people inside, and then the people inside quickly went to report, and it didn't take long for a sound of footsteps to be heard, and a group of people came out of the house, the first one was dressed in an official uniform, nearly fifty years old, and beside him was a stout man dressed as a military general, wearing black armor, these two people quickly stepped forward, and the person who was the first had already arched his hand and said: "Dare to ask but is the god clothes guard Yue Qianhu?" ”

The leader turned over and dismounted, and arched his hand: "It's Yue Lengqiu!" He didn't say much, and asked directly: "Governor Song, where is the boss now?" ”

The one wearing an official uniform was Song Yuan, the governor of Weiling Mansion, and beside him was naturally Yuan Budo, the commander of the soldiers and horses of Weiling Mansion.

Song Yuan and Yuan Budo both looked very solemn, and immediately said, "Yue Qianhu, please come with me!" ”

Song Yuan and Yuan Budo are both high-ranking local officials, and when it comes to official positions, they are only higher than Yue Lengqiu, but they are very respectful to Yue Lengqiu at this time.

The five people under Yue Lengqiu dismounted at the same time, all of them pressed the sheath of the Liuyun Knife with their hands and followed behind.

After entering Fang Yuan, Song Yuan had already said: "After the incident, we blocked Fang Yuan as soon as possible, and there were fifty-eight people in Fang Yuan, none of them left, and now they are all under control. ”

Yue Lengqiu said lightly: "The Holy Lord originally wanted the old man to spend his old age here, but this time he was killed by someone under your noses...... The saint is very angry, if the murderer cannot be found, the future of the two adults is certainly worrying, and my Yue Lengqiu's head will not be able to be saved! ”

Song Yuan and Yuan Budo both changed color suddenly, glanced at each other, their eyes were full of horror, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads instantly.

Shuttling around Fang Yuan, he soon arrived at an elegant small courtyard, and walked outside a delicate house, Song Yuan said softly: "The body of the old man is placed inside, after learning that Yue Qianhu is going to come to investigate this matter, people have been sent to guard here, and no one has ever entered it." After a pause, he added: "This is also the scene where the boss was killed, is it ...... It's the courtyard where the sixth aunt of the boss lives! ”

Yue Lengqiu waved his hand, and the five subordinates who followed behind him immediately dispersed, and began to search for them in all corners of the courtyard.

Yue Lengqiu stepped forward and pushed open the door, and after a look, everything in the main hall of the house was in order, and there was nothing unusual, he glanced at Song Yuan and asked, "Have the furnishings inside not been moved?" ”

"Nope!" Yuan Budo replied on the side: "After the boss was killed, he reported to the governor's yamen as soon as possible, and Lord Song also immediately sent me to investigate, and I am sure that the furnishings in the house have not moved in the slightest!" ”

Yue Lengqiu nodded slightly, and walked into the inner room on the side, the room was as silent as death, but the furnishings inside were very luxurious, the most conspicuous thing was the pink tent brocade couch, there was a strong fragrance wafting in the room, but there was a smell of blood that did not disperse.

Yue Lengqiu walked to the side of the brocade couch and saw the body of Old Lady Fang placed on the bed, obviously changed into a decent brocade robe after death, his face was slightly blue, and his muscles were already stiff.

Yue Lengqiu turned his head and glanced at Yuan Budo, and said lightly: "Commander Yuan, the old man was killed in this bed?" ”

Yuan Budo immediately said: "No! Pointing to a table in the room, he said, "When we arrived, the body of the old man was lying under the table!" ”

Yue Lengqiu said indifferently: "But as you said just now, there hasn't been a single movement in this room!" ”

Yuan Budo was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes showed a trace of unhappiness, and said: "It's just that the body of the old man is placed on the bed from the ground, and there is no other place to passively bounce, is Yue Qianhu too stubborn?" ”

Yue Lengqiu said expressionlessly: "Commander Yuan is really from a soldier's background, and he doesn't know how to investigate murders...... Lord Song seems to be entrusted to someone else! ”

Yuan Budo suddenly changed color, showing an angry expression, Song Yuan also frowned slightly, Yue Lengqiu didn't wait for them to speak, he had already said coldly: "The posture, injury, and even expression of the old man when he was killed may be clues, but all this has been destroyed by you!" He asked, "When the old man was killed, was that Liu family at the scene?" ”

Yuan Budo knew that this matter was very important, and although he was very dissatisfied with Yue Lengqiu's attitude, he still said patiently: "The old man rested in her room that night, she was naturally at the scene!" ”

"She's not dead?"

"Nope!"

"Can you get a clue out of her mouth?" Yue Lengqiu asked very quickly.

Yuan Budo frowned and said, "Interrogation? The Sixth Lady is still in shock, she is the widow of the eldest after all, we ...... How can we interrogate! ”

Yue Lengqiu smiled coldly and said directly to Song Yuan: "Lord Song, please also ask you to summon everyone in Fang Yuan to the main hall, Yuan will not be tried, Yue will be tried!" With that, he turned around and left the house.

Yuan Budo glanced at Yue Lengqiu fiercely, but Song Yuan sighed and went out with him.

……

……

Fang Yuan is built by the order of His Majesty the Emperor, the project is huge, covers an extremely wide area, its main hall is naturally unusually wide, Fang Yuan from top to bottom fifty or sixty people are all standing in the main hall, not the slightest crowded, and the family members of the old man have obviously not recovered from their sadness, one by one there is a sad face, in the main hall, relatives are miserable.

There was silence in the main hall, Yue Lengqiu sat on a chair, holding a teacup in his hand, sipping tea very leisurely, and behind him, there were five god-clothed guards like icebergs, all expressionless, with sharp eyes, ordinary people did not dare to touch their cold gaze at all.

Yue Lengqiu didn't say a word from beginning to end, while Fang Yuan was silent, and no one dared to make a sound. These people were born in the Hubu Shilang Mansion, and most of them knew about the affairs of officialdom, and knew the identities of Yue Lengqiu and these people, and in front of the Shenyi Guard, everyone would have a feeling of approaching death.

Yue Lengqiu seemed to be sipping tea very leisurely, but his eagle-like sharp eyes swept through the crowd from time to time, and I don't know how long it took before Yue Lengqiu said lightly: "The Liu family stays, and the others retreat first!" ”

Everyone present finally breathed a sigh of relief and left one after another, suddenly seeing Yue Lengqiu raise his hand and point at one of the men and say, "Keep him behind!" ”

Immediately, a Shenyi guard quickly stepped forward, grabbed the man's arm, and then threw it in, and another Shenyi guard stepped forward to quickly close the door of the main hall, but in an instant, only Yue Lengqiu and his party of six people and Liu and the man were left in the empty main hall, the door closed, and the entire hall suddenly became gray.

The man trembled like chaff, knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "Adult, little one...... The little one is not guilty......! He was dressed in green clothes, but he was eighteen or nineteen years old, and he was delicate, and he knew that he was a little maid in Fang Yuan at a glance when he was dressed up.

Na Liu was a young woman of twenty-three or four-year-old, with a round and plump figure, a beautiful appearance, beautiful and charming, and although her face was a little pale, it was even more lovely.

Seeing the little guy beside him kowtowing and begging, the young woman's plump body began to tremble slightly, and she forced herself to calm down, but her watery eyes still couldn't hide the look of horror.

Yue Lengqiu held the teacup in his left hand, twisted the tea lid in his right hand and gently brushed the tea surface, and said lightly: "Say, what happened that night?" This official does not have much time to waste on you, although you have not experienced the punishment of my divine guard, but you should have heard of it...... The delicate body of the sixth lady, the flower and the moon look like ice and snow, the official does not want to see such a beautiful body being desecrated in the slightest! ”

Although Liu's eyes were full of horror, he still pretended to be calm and said, "I...... I don't understand what you mean. Suddenly an assassin appeared that night, and I ...... I was scared and fainted, and when I woke up, ...... sir! At this, his eyes turned red and he choked.

Yue Lengqiu didn't seem interested in watching a woman perform her weakness here, so she made a color, and the Shenyi Wei behind the little guy immediately held one of the little guy's wrists with one hand, and pressed the other hand on the little guy's shoulder, and pulled it violently, and heard a "click", the little guy's shoulder bone was actually torn off by the god clothes hygienist, and the heart-rending scream made the people who had just gone out feel cold, and the Liu family was even more discolored, his face was pale, and his delicate body was shaky.

Yue Lengqiu stood up, picked up the teapot on the table, walked to the little guy and squatted down, stared at the little guy, and said lightly: "This is a pot of boiling water, I don't like too cruel punishments, but if this pot of water is sprinkled on your face, I think you will definitely be worse off than dead." He glanced at the trembling Liu Shi next to him, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Aren't you likable just because of this face?" Don't deny my speculation, the hall is full of people, only you look in a trance, peeking at the sixth lady from time to time, and the cold sweat on your forehead has not stopped...... So I think you must know what happened that night! ”

When Liu heard this, his body weakened, and he fell to the ground, his face extremely ugly.

Yue Lengqiu pinched the little guy's chin and stared at the little guy's eyes: "Tell me what happened that night, as long as you tell me honestly, I can give you a large sum of silver, so that you can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and you can choose to fly away...... You should believe that this officer has this ability! ”

The little maid endured the severe pain and glanced at the sixth lady, and finally said, "Adult, little one...... The little one really likes the sixth lady, and the little one can ...... for her sake You don't want this life......! ”

When Liu Shi heard this, there was a trace of tenderness in his eyes, and he sat on the ground softly, and said, "Yes...... I seduced him first...... The matter ...... This matter has nothing to do with him......! ”

A cold glint flashed in Yue Lengqiu's eyes, and he said to the little guy in a deep voice: "This official doesn't care about the relationship between you, tell me, what happened that night?" ”

The little girl hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "That night, the old lady ...... The old lady was resting in the fourth lady's room, so ...... So the little one went to the Sixth Lady...... The Sixth Lady is there ......! His face was full of fear, and he paused for a moment, and saw that Yue Lengqiu was looking at him coldly, so he continued in a trembling voice: "But the old lady suddenly came to the sixth lady's room in the middle of the night, and the little one couldn't get away at that time, so he could only ...... You can only hide under the bed......! ”

The Liu family was scared and ashamed, don't look over, don't dare to look at the little guy.

"After the old lady and the sixth lady fell asleep in the middle of the night, the little one wanted to wait for the old lady to fall asleep and leave, but ...... But the Assassin appeared. It seemed to recall the scene of that night, and the little girl's face was full of horror: "The little one couldn't see what the scene was under the bed, and only heard the old lady scream, and there was no sound for a long time, and the little one was frightened, and he didn't know what happened, and after a long time, he heard the assassin ask the old lady to hand over a thing!" ”

"Hand over something?" Yue Lengqiu's eyebrows tightened, "What is it?" ”

"I don't know, and the assassin didn't say anything." The little guy's forehead was full of cold sweat: "The little one only heard the old lady also ask, asking what the assassin wanted, but the assassin said that the old lady was pretending to be confused......!" ”

Yue Lengqiu turned his head to look at the Liu clan and asked, "Can you see the situation clearly at that time?" ”

Liu's face turned pale, he bit his red lip, thought about it, and finally said: "At that time, I was about to wait for the old man to rest, and not long after the old lady lay down and closed his eyes, the tent was suddenly opened, and I only saw a person wearing a hat and holding a knife in his hand to the old lady's throat...... I...... I fainted, and I didn't know what was going on! ”

Yue Lengqiu turned his head to look at one of his subordinates, who had already bent down, and said respectfully: "The courtyard has been carefully inspected inside and out, and there are no major traces, but there is a very shallow knife mark at the bottom of the window bolt in that room, and the assassin must have climbed in through that window." However, there were no Assassin footprints left in the house, and there were no other traces on the windowsill...... The Assassin was very skillful, and he was very discreet, leaving no trace! ”

Yue Lengqiu's eyes flickered with coldness, and he asked the little guy, "You go on, what happened later?" ”

"The little one was really frightened at the time, they seemed to have said a few words, but the little one didn't have the heart to write them all down at that time." The little guy wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, "Later, the little one heard the old lady say, and the old lady said that the things had been given to him, and asked who the assassin was, but the assassin did not answer, and then ...... Then the little one was under the bed and saw the old lady suddenly fall to the ground, and the old lady ...... When the old lady was dying, her eyes were ...... But the eyes saw the little one ...... under the bed! ”

This little guy remembered the strange gaze of Old Lady Fang when he was dying, and he couldn't help but shiver all over his body, and the chill that night seemed to return to his body.

Yue Lengqiu stood up, put his hands behind his back, and asked coldly, "What else?" ”

"Other...... I don't really know about the other little ones. The little guy kowtowed again and again: "The little one knows that if he stays in that house, if he is discovered, he can't tell anything, so he ...... So I ran out, late at night, but it was ...... But no one found out, adults, the small sentences are true, don't dare to deceive, you are merciful, and you have ...... around the life of a small dog! ”

Yue Lengqiu pondered for a moment and asked, "You left the room, is Lao Shangshu dead?" ”

The little girl nodded, then immediately shook his head again, and said in a trembling voice: "Old lady...... The old lady's chest was full of blood and she couldn't move, but ...... But there is still breathing...... And......! At this point, he did not continue.

"And what?" Yue Lengqiu said sharply.

The little guy flicked his body and hurriedly said, "And when the little one leaves the house, listen...... I heard the old lady say a very ...... Weird words! ”

"Weird words?" Yue Lengqiu's brows tightened, and he squatted down again, "What words?" ”

The little guy said cautiously: "It seems to be ...... Six...... Six Dragons Gather Troops...... Six Dragons Gather ......! His face showed a look of distress, and he tried his best to think about something, and finally remembered: "It's the six dragons gathering troops, and the Bodhisattva opens the door!" ”

Yue Lengqiu muttered to himself: "Six dragons gather troops, Bodhisattva open the door?" This...... What is the meaning? Grabbing the collar of the little girl, he asked in a cold voice, "But what else did you say?" ”

The little guy shook his head and said, "I don't know anything else." Adults, the little ones don't hide a word from what they know, and please let the adults let go of the little ones! ”

Yue Lengqiu slowly stood up, put his hands behind his back, walked back and forth a few steps, thoughtfully, at this time, the sunset had already set, the room was gray, the atmosphere was very weird, he muttered to himself: "Six dragons gather troops...... The Bodhisattva opens the door...... What does this have to do with Lao Shangshu being killed? Why did Lao Shangshu say such a sentence before he died? He was suspicious.

But the Liu clan had already said: "My lord, you just said that as long as we tell the truth, you will ...... You're going to let us fly away......! "After this incident, the Liu clan knew that they could no longer stay in Fang Yuan, if Yue Lengqiu really kept his promise, gave a large sum of money, and flew away with this little guy, it would be an excellent way out.

Yue Lengqiu smiled indifferently and instructed a god-clothed guard: "If they want to leave, you will arrange for them to leave, so that people will never find their ...... again!" He turned his head, glanced at Liu's pretty face, and said calmly: "Don't worry, I will definitely let you never be separated." ”
