I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Under the mask, Luo Qianhuai's expression began to change, from indifference to a bitter smile.

The system really didn't want to do any more work. Just after throwing the person at Huo Yu's feet, a prompt sounded:

"The first step of the task of overturning the case as soon as possible has been completed, and the enforcement status has been lifted. Use the shortcut system to reach the pinnacle of life. Thank you for your trust and support in version 1.2 of the shortcut system!"

Relying on the protection of the high-end headgear, others did not notice her subtle transformation.

Luo Qianhuai did not answer Huo Yu's words. Her voice is soft, and she has never learned any skills to deliberately change her accent. As soon as she speaks, people who know her will definitely hear her.

Huo Yu has already got the killer. If she goes to the prison to check, she will definitely find that Zheng Pei's cell has been opened and the person was strangled to death. She doesn't need to say anything more.

Thirty-six strategies, walking is the best strategy. Luo Qianhuai was going to repeat what he did in the warehouse last time and run away.

As soon as she called the system in her heart, her waist suddenly tightened, and her body was involuntarily pulled by the cloth belt and flew up to the roof.

Before he had time to react, his arms were held up in the air, and he flew away from Yiting like a shooting star chasing the moon.

The person next to her was wearing a thin black jacket with narrow sleeves. He was running in the wind and snow without showing any signs of shrinking. He looked down at her from time to time with a slight smile in his eyes.

Luo Qianhuai was slightly surprised. But after thinking about it carefully, she found that the other party lived under the same roof as her, and the system never bothered to hide her presence, so it was reasonable for her to be discovered.

"Thank you Zhang Jianzong for your help." She thanked him.

"Madam Luo, there is no need to hide it in front of Qing." Zhang Qing said: "Your skill cannot last long, otherwise there would be no need for me to take action just now."

Luo Qianhuai didn't want to discuss this issue with him.

"Zhang Jianzong has been following me just now?" From the perspective of her soul, she clearly didn't notice him, unless he was still a hundred meters away.

Zhang Qing did not deny it: "Qing was just curious for a moment and wanted to see why Madam Luo went out late at night. I didn't expect that I could be of some help."

"Then you also know that I have violated the national law by visiting the Yi court at night. It is better for Zhang Jianzong to stay away from me."

"Is Lady Luo just joking with Qing? National laws and other matters are far less important in Qing's heart than Lady Luo's hair."

The surrounding buildings quickly retreated, Zhang Qing's black hair was flying in the wind and snow, and his eyes were as bright as stars.

The noise of men and horses could be faintly heard in the distance. In order to hunt down the two of them, with Yiting as the center, the entire Changling City was quickly awakening.

Luo Qianhuai avoided his sight, his mind working rapidly: "Zhang Jianzong is so heroic and heroic, can you do me one more favor?"

Huo Yu stood up and left the torture chamber. The smell of blood in his nose lingered for a long time, making his headache worse.

After making all kinds of efforts in the past few days, we found no less than a hundred craftsmen. We even "invited" famous thieves from Wuling back under Bai Sikou's reminder, but there was still nothing we could do about the box.

Tomorrow was the deadline given by His Majesty. He had been so anxious about it that he couldn't sleep all night, but he didn't expect that at this juncture, something like this would happen again.

In other words, the person who ordered people to silence him knew that he was distracted and chose such a time.

The killer abided by the rules of the trade and endured several severe punishments without revealing the identity of the client who paid for the murder. He was even more stubborn in not revealing the information about the two colleagues who had abandoned him.

On the contrary, Zheng Pei was lucky enough to escape death. He knew in his heart that he could not escape death, so he unexpectedly spoke. His only request was to exclude everyone and speak only to Huo Yu.

Huo Yu was actually not surprised by what he said.

"Sir!" Huo Yu walked out of the prison with his hands behind his back. Xu Kai, who was extremely anxious, followed him immediately. While looking at his face, he tentatively said: "My subordinates have sealed the four gates and each workshop, and have begun Search for the thief in the night prison."

Huo Yu smiled slightly: "Master Xu is indeed a capable person. You can make your own decision on such a big matter as closing the city, but you are wronged by just being a Changling Lieutenant."

If these words were said in the past, Xu Kai would definitely kneel down in fear and apologize.

But things are different now. He already had a clear idea of ​​what Huo Yu was busy with these days. Even though it was written clearly on the imperial list, there were so many capable people and strange people coming and going in Yiting every day, but there was no progress at all.

Tomorrow is your Majesty's deadline. If the box cannot be opened by then, Mr. Huo will still be rejected by His Majesty even if he has a great background.

His Majesty always employs people according to his own will. When he loves them, he wants them to live, and when he hates them, he wants them to die.

I heard that the Huo family also has a smart and capable concubine who is a much better person than the cold and tough Mr. Huo. I think Mr. Huo Xuan will also make wise choices.

So what if he is dissatisfied with himself now? What if he learns that he had tampered with the old case? As long as tomorrow passes, this Changling Ling's seat will probably be taken by someone else.

"My lord is joking." Xu Kaipi said with a smile: "It's already getting late, why don't you take a rest earlier. Maybe a real craftsman will come to your door early tomorrow morning, and it's hard to say what will help you solve your problem."

Huo Yu looked at him deeply: "Master Xu, you should worry more about your own family affairs - if your mother-in-law's family intervenes in the struggle between merchants and the people, if something goes wrong, I'm afraid your career will be ruined."

Xu Kai chuckled: "Since my wife is already a member of the Xu family, the affairs of her mother's family will naturally not affect her. Sir, you are worrying too much."

Huo Yu nodded: "That's very good." He took a few steps forward and suddenly stopped: "It's snowing heavily tonight, and houses will collapse tomorrow. The city ban has been lifted, so everyone can go back to rest and conserve their strength for preparation." Someday."

"But sir." Xu Kai frowned: "Those two thieves dared to break into the Yiting prison at night. If they were left alone, the prestige of the Yiting would be weakened, and some good people would surely imitate them in the future... .”

"Master Xu." The corners of Huo Yu's lips were slightly raised, and the eyes he looked at Xu Kai were dark and deep, as if he had seen his whole person from the inside out.

"Masters of this level of skill are rare in the world. If they really have evil intentions, there will be no casualties tonight. What's more, judging from the speed at which they left just now, I'm afraid they have already left Changchun. Mausoleum. Your siege of the city will have no meaning other than disturbing the people."

Xu Kai was speechless and had no choice but to turn back angrily and withdraw his troops. Huo Yu looked at his back as he strode away, sighed slightly, and returned to the room.

"Sir, get some rest early and don't strain your body anymore." He Jian closed the door behind him.

Luan Weiniang had been sent back to Xijing by him on the day of Laba, and there was only one deft maid left in Huo Yu's room.

This maid has been with Huo Yu since early in the morning. She is honest and plain-looking. She is only loyal and cautious, so she can serve him for so many years.
