Chapter 43: Arson begins
Back at the Yamen, Qu Nanyi changed out of his official uniform, washed his face, and began to look through the bamboo slips with strange things written on them.
Li Dazhuang followed behind Qu Nan, as if he wanted to ask something, but he was embarrassed to open his mouth, just like a stone mill, constantly turning.
Qu Nan glanced at Li Dazhuang: "Say." ”
Li Dazhuang's eyebrows immediately danced: "The lord sentenced that Yan Delin to stab his heart, but he asked the executioner to pay attention to him, and allowed Mijiu to take away the whole corpse, is it because he pities Na Jiu?" ”
Qu Nanyi put down the book and smiled lightly: "Pity Mi Jiu? Oh, wrong, now he has changed his name to Yangui. There are many people who are bitter than him, and there is nothing to be pitied. It's just that Yan Delin finally had a heart of repentance, and the official returned his heart to him. ”
Li Dazhuang was puzzled: "Repentance? When his subordinates heard him scolding him, he asked him to roll over, but he didn't see any remorse. ”
Qu Nan smiled and said: "Just this one word 'roll' is regret." ”
Li Dazhuang was confused, and only felt that the adults in his family were becoming more and more playful.
Qu Nanyi picked up the bamboo slip again, looked at it for a while, then stopped, and asked, "Today at the execution ground, do you find anything unusual?" ”
Li Dazhuang replied honestly: "My lord instructed his subordinates to pay attention to the people wearing curtain fences among the onlookers, but the subordinates did not find anyone wearing curtain fences, and even where they could see the execution scene, their subordinates did not let go, and they kept leading people to patrol, but they did not see anyone wearing curtain fences. ”
Qu Nan nodded and motioned for Li Dazhuang to go out, and he continued to look down at the book. After turning two more pages, he suddenly put the book on the desk and said, "No! Here she comes! ”
It's an intuition, a beast-like intuition.
The demon girl must have come to the execution ground to watch the execution, but he didn't find her!
As for why Qu Nanyi is so sure, half of it is intuition, and the other half is speculation.
Since the demon girl had those means, it was not difficult to escape from Liuhe County, but she didn't leave, but instead lived in Mi Jiu's room, and used her means to scare Yan Delin's soul from possessing her body, and finally confessed to the crime of killing Fenghua.
Why is the enchantress like this?
Does she care that she has been wronged?
If she cares, why did she still tell Mi Jiu that she killed Fenghua?
Although Qu Nanyi can't completely think through these things, one thing is certain, that is-the demon girl wants Yan Delin to die! And, let his crimes be revealed to the world!
Hiss......
Ever since he insisted on sentencing Yan Delin to stabbing his heart, he has entered her game again!
It is not difficult to let a person die; It's hard to get a person to die in the way someone else has set it to.
This time, Qu Nanyi really realized how terrible Hu Yan's scheming was. However, there is a voice in the back of my heart that keeps questioning that all this is just a coincidence.
yes, coincidence, that's it?
How could those interlocking coincidences be a chess game laid by a demon girl?
Scold...... Why not?
Looking back now, Yan Delin's appearance before he died was clearly someone who made him frightened and surprised. It's just strange, Yan Delin's eyes are not good, and when he saw that person's time period was wrong, he mistakenly thought that he had an expression and was poked by an iron thorn.
This person, death can't play a good role.
Qu Nanyi was shaking his head and sighing, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the house.
"Oh no, no, it's not good, it's water!" There were officials in the yamen shouting loudly.
Qu Nan came to his senses one by one and hurriedly strode out.
I don't know when, the Yamen, which was originally full of murderous atmosphere, was surrounded by a flame, and the ferocity of the fire was really rare.
There was a well in the backyard of the yamen, and Qu Nanyi asked everyone to soak their clothes and cover their mouths and noses, and then rushed out to the weaker place where the fire was weak.
Everyone was busy fighting the fire, and Qu Nanyi stood in front of the burning yamen, slowly raised his head, and looked around.
Through the fire, he saw a man.
The man wore a black curtain fence and a black robe, and the whole person stood quietly on the eaves like a cold sculpture.
Qu Nanyi knew that the man was looking at him.
Provocation!
It is clear that this is a * naked provocation!
Qu Nanyi dared to assert that the man who stood up on the eaves was the mysterious gray-clothed man who had appeared in Qingmiao Village!
It is not easy to set fire to the yamen during the day. What's more, the arsonist was also dressed in black, which was really conspicuous. If it weren't for the mysterious man who set fire to his yamen, Qu Nanyi would have wanted to applaud and cheer for him, it was really - what a big dog!
This mysterious man, who made the villagers of Qingmiao Village dare not see the light, has finally found here. If you don't make a move, it will be such a "grand" meeting gift. It's good, it's good.
Qu Nanyi narrowed his narrow eyes and smiled slowly at the mysterious man.
The mysterious man ignored Qu Nanyi's provocation and turned away directly.
Qu Nan stood with his hands in his hands, as if watching the excitement, looking at the fire burning in front of him. You must know that this burning of the yamen is really unlucky, and it will be framed by those villains who like to speak, saying that he is stupid and incompetent, ruthless, and scavenging the people's fat and ointment, causing the entire people of Liuhe County to be in dire straits. Thinking about it this time, Qu Nanyi found that he also had the ability to be a minister.
Qu Nan made fun in the bitterness and entertained himself there.
There was some choking at the entrance of the yamen, and Qu Nanyi walked around like a mollusc worm.
This is not to say that Qu Nanyi has no image when he walks, but he has always been lazy, he can sit and never stand, and he can lie down and never sit. At this moment, after wandering back and forth three or four times at the entrance of the yamen, he began to look for a place to sit for a while.
He went against the wind and came to the door of a restaurant. There was no business in the restaurant, there was a big word on the door, and the shopkeepers and others went out to put out the fire, and no one beckoned Mr. Qu to come in and sit inside. On the steps in front of the store sat a woman, dressed in a coarse cloth stub and a pair of black rag shoes with her toes exposed. The shoes were too big to wear, so I had to pull them on. She wore a hanging ponytail, and her hair was a little messy, not only a bit of a chivalrous man, but also like a chicken thief who had just come out of the chicken coop. Actually, she did just come out of the coop. In order to touch a few eggs, she can be described as painstaking.
The woman's dress was a little strange, she looked like a man from a poor family, but she didn't hide any feminine features.
At this moment, she was biting a dog's tail grass in her mouth, and she was squatting on the steps of the tavern door without any image, squinting at the yamen diagonally opposite, watching it be swallowed up by tongues of fire and smoking.
As soon as she saw Qu Nan coming, she raised her face and smiled, nodded casually, and then continued to watch the excitement.
