Since I met you, people are dying every day

"What is that?" Ye Sirui pretended not to know.

"Li Chief, is it not good to say this in front of the county magistrate?" An old man said rudely.

Feng Hongguang said: "I don't believe what the golden scissors will say, but since your lord asks, you should report it truthfully." He glanced at the old people in turn one by one. "There are rumors in the countryside that the Golden Scissors Association is a killer organization, and after a murder, the bloodstained symbol of the golden scissors will be left on the chest of the deceased as a symbol."

Ye Sirui intentionally showed surprise, "So Wu Xintian died from this killer organization?"

"The words from the countryside are untrustworthy." The old man dragged his voice, "Even if there is such an organization, it has disappeared for many years."

"That's right, that's right, it's just blood. It didn't have any shape at first, and the little old man just said it casually when he was asked by adults." Feng Hongguang smiled all over his face and bowed his head to calm the emotions of the old people. "Yezhi County came to the humble house today. It is the little old family, and it is also the glory of Guishanli. If you don't dislike it, I will hold a banquet tonight. The villagers in Guishanli will meet you, and everyone who came with you Lord."

Ye Sirui smiled noncommittally, "Mr. Feng has worked tirelessly to entertain Ziqi, so please don't bother too much." He changed the subject, "It's just that the words of the country must have some basis to pass on. , if the remnants of the Golden Scissors Society really fled, what should we do?"

When he said this, all the elders in the neighborhood laughed instead, and even Feng Hongguang smiled and said: "It's okay, my lord must have never visited Guishanli. There is really some remnant who fled to Guishanli, and my lord happened to catch a turtle in his urn. In previous years, someone ran to the mountain, but no one saw him again."

He said it lightly, but Ye Sirui was far from relaxed.That's a killer, a real killer, and it's very likely that people will die in Guishanli.No, one is already dead, he corrected himself.

Everyone hit it off.The old people in the village went home one after another to prepare.Feng Hongguang also recruited ten leaders and told them to find some villagers.The Feng family was busy preparing for the banquet.Ye Sirui avoided all kinds of trivial matters.Feng Hongguang wanted to give him his bedroom, but Ye Sirui pushed him repeatedly before asking him to agree to live in the guest room. "This Mr. Xia..." Feng Hongguang was about to talk about his arrangement, but Ye Sirui interrupted him in a hurry: "Mr. Xia can live with me, we just have an evening talk."

"That's good, that's good." Feng Hongguang hid his surprised look, "Your Excellency is considerate of the old man, and the old man will ask someone to clean up the guest room for you." He changed his mind and said, "Is there no one around you? My eldest grandson Naughty, my second grandson is only nine years old, but he has a good temperament, if adults don't mind..."

"I've brought my servant, Cha Ming, to meet Chief Feng Li."

Chaming has been with the servants all this time, and only now came over to bow to him.

So when the Feng family was busy, Ye Sirui and Xia Shu hid in the house to enjoy a moment of peace.With tea guarding the door, and a Xia Shu with excellent hearing by his side, Ye Sirui collapsed on the couch and stretched his limbs in peace, regardless of his image.After traveling for a day, the room is in good condition. There are two couches, a drum table, four drum stools, a corner cabinet, and even a screen, all made of elm wood.

"I really should ask people outside to see what you look like now." Xia Tian walked slowly to his couch and sat down.

Seeing that he was finally willing to joke with him, Ye Sirui decided to play tricks on him, "What do you think of me? No matter how pious I am, is it better than Mr. Xia, who is always indifferent, teasing others?"

Xia Shu sat facing him, and said without changing expression: "Don't you want to spend the night talking with me? Why don't you come to my bed?"

Ye Sirui was dumbfounded for a few seconds, then just slumped on the couch and stared at him blankly.This is Xia Shu?He wanted to rub his eyes to see if he was awake.

After Xia Shu said that sentence, he untied his burden and packed his things like a normal person.In the end, it was Chaming who came to break the silence. "Master, the head of the village told you to go out, the banquet is over."

This dinner was different from what Ye Sirui had expected.He thought it would be like the reception banquet that Ye Fu hosted for him when he came out to Lin County, everyone sat around a table, drinking and talking.Unexpectedly, Feng Hongguang had set up long tables and benches in the yard, and many villagers in short clothes sat on them. Among the long tables was a square table. Ye Sirui, Xia Shu, Ma Lu, Feng Hongguang and five elderly people sat around. table.The meals are also local delicacies, and the rice wine they drink is homemade, which is very simple.But compared to that bowl of bitter tea, Ye Sirui was already very relieved.

During the meal, except for Feng Hongguang toasting, everyone toasted and drank together, and few people toasted.Everyone eats and drinks on their own, and it's fun.

Going back to the house in the evening, Xia Shu touched the lamp in the dark, Ye Sirui still ordered Cha Ming to light the lamp, touched it by himself~ sat down at the drum table, took out the file and signaled Xia Shu to come over and read it. "If what Li Lao said is true, Wu Xintian is too careless. If it is said that the remnants of the Golden Scissors escaped here, it would be feasible to kill him."

"You don't believe him?" Xia Shu asked.

"I don't believe in anyone, except you." Ye Sirui replied frankly.

Xia Shu raised his eyebrows and smiled, his thick black sword eyebrows stretched out, and a cluster of flames danced in his bottomless black pupils.That rare smile was reflected by the candlelight, which made Ye Sirui lose his mind for a moment.In the end, Xia Shu opened his mouth to call back his sanity. "Is there anything he said that makes you suspect?"

Although Xia Shu's smile is rare, it's not like he never smiled in front of him.Besides, what kind of beauty Ye Sirui has never seen before?Falling in front of my good brother, I lost my soul, what did I look like!Ye Sirui reviewed himself, lowered his head to hide his embarrassment, and answered him absent-mindedly: "Oh, it's nothing, it just feels wrong."

"What's wrong?" Xia Shu was not satisfied with this perfunctory answer.

"If it's true that the remnants of the Golden Scissors Society have fled here, it's too late to conceal their identity, so why kill a teacher to expose their traces?"

Xia Shu also frowned, "Perhaps he wanted to find someone to steal something, and he didn't want to touch it~ Going to the Mongolian Pavilion alarmed Wu Xintian, so he killed him to silence him?" He guessed, "After all, his belongings were taken away."

"How much property can he have, why don't you steal it from others?"

"Maybe it's because you don't dare to steal from a high-ranking family, for fear of alarming people?"

Without evidence, we can only stop at speculation. "Another question is that they took the initiative to mention the Golden Scissors Club..."

"What's wrong?"

"I can't say it well, but I feel that the timing is not right. At first I asked them what shape they looked like they didn't know at all, but later they seemed to know it all, but they just didn't want me to know."

Xia Shu directly expressed his doubts: "But didn't they tell you later?"

"So I can't say it well, it's just a feeling." Ye Sirui said: "Okay, I'll tell you the truth, go to rest earlier, recharge your batteries, and visit Wu's house tomorrow."

Ye Sirui discovered an embarrassing thing when he was about to go to bed.Chaming was still on vigil outside, so obviously she had to change her clothes by herself.That's all, but he wants to take off his clothes in front of Xia Shu?It was a bit embarrassing to think about it.Xia Shu is naturally different from those servant girls who serve him.

Xia Tian was so comfortable that he didn't have this embarrassment, he naturally took off his coat, lay down on the couch in his underwear, and shook off the thin quilt.Seeing that Ye Sirui was still staying there, he said, "Why, do you really want to stay up all night with me?"

He said this once, but it was daytime, and now it's dark, it's not appropriate to make such a joke.Ye Sirui didn't hesitate anymore, blew out the candle, took off his clothes in the dark and lay down on the bed.

Yet he has insomnia.It shouldn't be.He has slept in a much worse bed than this in the past few years. At that time, he was exhausted, or flustered, worried, and often fell asleep.Today~ He sat in the carriage for so long and even walked, so he should be very tired and fall asleep easily.However, I couldn't sleep, my eyes adapted to the darkness, and the outlines of objects in the darkness appeared.Ye Sirui stared blankly at the empty ceiling for a long time.Since you can't sleep, think about the case.he reminded himself.There should be no doubt about the existence of the Golden Scissors Club, so is it true that the Golden Scissors Club still exists?It's hard to say, Wu Xintian's death may be an imitation, a cover, but the poisoning of Marquis Anshun's birthday banquet is obviously not the work of Guanyan and Lao Qi.Old Qi... The people Qi Keng confessed to were probably members of the Golden Scissors Society. Isn't "making a living with blood" a killer?But He Ren belonged to the Golden Scissors Society, so why did the other members of the Golden Scissors Society help the father and daughter of the Qi family who were murdered by him, and teach them to take revenge? ...That's right, Marquis Anshun said that after he left the sign of the Golden Scissors, people in the government and the world were chasing him, and it is very likely that the members of the Golden Scissors were among them.Killing Ye Fu and He Quan fulfilled their wish.It's a pity that the old Wangtou ran away, Ye Fu should be calling for someone to hunt him down, if he can be caught, I can ask him clearly.

Thinking of the killer, he couldn't help turning his head to look in Xia Shu's direction.He is used to laughing and getting along with each other on weekdays, he rarely thinks that Xia Shu is a killer, but he really rarely finds out that Xia Shu killed people, except for the time when he killed Dong Xiang.It was Xia Shu who took the initiative to tell him that time.Every year, there are many cases where the murderer is found or killed or injured, so they have to be dealt with as self-injury, or reported to the superior, and the file is sealed. He doesn't know if there is Xia Shu's handwriting in it.

But now Ye Sirui is sleeping peacefully next to a killer, and because of the other's protection, he feels at ease. If it were him in the past, he wouldn't believe it no matter what?He closed his eyes and rolled over.Xia Shu is believable, think about how many times he has saved himself.he told himself.Close your eyes and count your breaths.

He turned over, and the man who had been staring at him for a long time in the dark silently opened his eyes and looked at his back.
