Thousands of years

Squeezing forward through the crowd, she almost collided with a fiery figure when she got close. When she looked up, it was Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao saw a trace of surprise flashing across her eyes: "Miss Lin, why are you here?" While speaking, Zhan Zhao's body leaned to one side, as if to cover something behind him.

Lin Ruoqing said softly, "Let me see what happened."

"There is a murder case, it's better for the girl not to watch it." Zhan Zhao persuaded gently.

"Oh." Lin Ruoqing turned around obediently, and she tilted her head the moment she turned around, and at that moment, she saw a woman's face on the ground, her somewhat swollen and pale face was full of horror, her eyes were staring straight at the sky , seems to have seen the most terrifying thing in the world.

Seeing this Lin Ruoqing felt very uncomfortable, she wanted to vomit but couldn't, she regretted coming to join in the fun, she turned around and left the crowd with her head down.

Zhan Zhao glanced at her, and then ordered: "Chao Mahan, take the body back to Kaifeng Mansion and hand it over to you for examination."

Lin Ruoqing returned to the snack bar, her mind was full of that woman's face, she sat there sullen, she couldn't even eat breakfast, she didn't even pay attention to old man Lin's return: "Ruoqing, what's wrong with you? Why are you sitting here Now, why don't you open the door for business?"

Lin Ruoqing didn't want Old Man Lin to worry: "It's nothing, I didn't sleep well last night, I was a little dizzy."

The old man Lin felt sorry for his daughter, and hurriedly said: "Then you go to the back to rest for a while, and I'll just come here to greet you." Lin Ruoqing agreed, got up and walked to the back.Just two steps away, Old Man Lin's surprised voice came from behind: "Master Zhan, are you here?"

Lin Ruoqing paused, turned around, Zhan Zhao in official uniform was standing at the door, he smiled at old man Lin and said, "Zhan is here to ask you if you heard any suspicious movements last night?"

When Zhan Zhao said this, he was looking at old man Lin, but old man Lin was looking at Lin Ruoqing. Lin Ruoqing tilted her head and thought for a while and shook her head blankly, "I didn't hear anything."

Zhan Zhao didn't say anything else, and bowed to say goodbye to them. When he walked to the door, he seemed to think of something again, and turned to Lin Ruoqing and said, "The capital city is not very peaceful these two days, Miss Lin better be careful." Lin Ruoqing glanced at Zhan Zhao gratefully. Zhao, nodded: "Thank you Master Zhan for reminding, Ruoqing will be careful." Zhan Zhao also nodded politely, turned and left.Lin Ruoqing quietly looked at Zhan Zhao's receding back, thoughtfully.

What Lin Ruoqing heard most about this day was the murder case that happened early this morning. The victim was the daughter of Boss Lu in West Street Bufang. However, it was said that she was dragged out late at night and was first defiled and then killed with a knife. The attack was very vicious.

What everyone talked about was filled with righteous indignation, and what Lin Ruoqing heard was terrified. Thinking of the face she saw earlier in the morning, and thinking of this girl who had visited her shop twice, she felt even more uncomfortable, and couldn't lift her spirits all day long.Old man Lin only thought that she didn't sleep well at night, and didn't care too much.

After the store closed, old man Lin went home as usual, because Lin Ruoqing went to bed early because she was afraid of the cold, but couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so she simply put on her clothes and got up.

After re-igniting the brazier, the room immediately became warmer. Feeling stuffy, Lin Ruoqing opened the window, and the cold night air filled the hut in an instant. There was a lonely crescent moon in the sky, and there were not even a single star around.

Lin Ruoqing couldn't help but think of her situation again, the Chinese New Year will be two months away, where is the person who brought her here?Is he looking for himself?If I want to find him, where can I find him?Is it really going to celebrate the New Year in the Great Song Dynasty?Thinking of this, Lin Ruoqing couldn't help letting out a long sigh, and stood in front of the window in a daze.

Suddenly, two figures, one white and one black, passed quickly across the roof. The speed of their figures made Lin Ruoqing suspect that she was dazzled.But soon there was the sound of fighting from outside the house. Lin Ruoqing became curious and ran to the outside and opened the door quietly: the two people outside the door were fighting very well, even Lin Ruoqing, who did not know martial arts, saw it Afterwards, she couldn't help admiring, both of them were slender and straight, and their kung fu was also light and elegant. Lin Ruoqing quickly recognized the man in black as Zhan Zhao, and the other was dressed in white, and even the sword had a dazzling gem.Could it be him?

In the blink of an eye, Lin Ruoqing's thoughts were confirmed. Zhan Zhao retracted his sword and jumped back, standing on the ridge of the roof. Zhan Zhao's figure was as straight as a pine, with long ink-like hair and a The black clothes fluttered with the wind, his face was sullen, and he said, "Bai Yutang, Mr. Zhan still has work to do, so he doesn't have time to mess with you." After speaking, he turned around and disappeared into the night.

Bai Yutang said to himself, "What? The stinky cat ran away before the winner was decided. Could it be that you are afraid of you, Grandpa Bai?" Before he finished speaking, a clear female voice came from behind him: "Zhan Zhao Isn't he afraid of you? He doesn't have the time to be as knowledgeable as you." Bai Yutang was startled, then turned around.

Looking at the person in front of her, Lin Ruoqing was not particularly stunned, her sword eyebrows slanted into her temples and her pair of peach blossom eyes looked bright, Lin Ruoqing suddenly remembered that the book described Bai Yutang as young and beautiful, and sure enough, the person in front of her was really rare in the world.Will such a person die in the end?I'm afraid no one can bear to see such a person die.

Lin Ruoqing felt that the handsome face in front of her eyes suddenly enlarged, she took a step back in shock, glared at Bai Yutang and said, "What are you doing?"

"What am I doing?" Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, and said with a light smile, "You are a girl who stares at a big man like me, and you don't know how to be ashamed." Lin Ruoqing blushed when he said that.Before he could speak, he heard Bai Yutang say again: "Waiting for fate? Waiting for someone with fate." He glanced at Lin Ruoqing again, and smiled maliciously: "Sure enough, it's a girl who doesn't have any reservations at all." Said After finishing, he stepped into the shop regardless of Lin Ruoqing's reaction.

Lin Ruoqing who was behind her wanted to grit her teeth, the pity she had felt for Bai Yutang just now disappeared in a blink of an eye.

2. The murderer

After Bai Yutang entered the room, he put a large ingot of silver on the table, at least 20 taels. Lin Ruoqing's eyes lit up, and she quickly brought out snacks and wine for him.

Bai Yutang ate and drank, his peach blossom eyes gradually blurred, he squinted and looked at Lin Ruoqing: "Girl, are you familiar with Zhan Zhao?"

Lin Ruoqing said truthfully: "Master Zhan saved me, I am very grateful to him."

"Oh, no wonder I spoke for that stinky cat." After Bai Yutang finished speaking, he took the wine pot and poured it into his mouth again.

"Hey, Fifth Master Bai, drinking like this is very harmful to your health." Lin Ruoqing persuaded her kindly.

Bai Yutang's eyes were full of doubts: "How do you know that I'm the fifth child?" Lin Ruoqing realized that she had said something wrong, and hurriedly said, "Who hasn't heard of the name of the famous Chinchilla Bai Yutang Bai Wuye? "

Bai Yutang looked at Lin Ruoqing steadfastly, then smiled and said, "I see, that stinky cat must have told you, right?" Lin Ruoqing didn't say anything, just took it as acquiescence.

Bai Yutang asked again: "Girl, what's your name?" Lin Ruoqing pouted and answered truthfully, wondering if this Bai Yutang knew everyone so well?

Bai Yutang put a mouthful of dim sum into his mouth, nodded in praise and said, "Girl Lin, the dim sum in your store tastes good." Then he raised the jug and said, "This wine is just so-so. Next time, Lord Wu will bring you some Good wine, good wine can go with this dessert." Bai Yutang was talking to himself there, Lin Ruoqing ignored him and just yawned.

Bai Yutang seemed to have remembered something.Looking around: "Why, you live here alone?" Seeing Lin Ruoqing nodding, Bai Yutang wondered, "Aren't you afraid of flower picking thieves?" a chill. "Haha, don't be afraid. Fifth Lord, I would like to be the flower protector tonight." Bai Yutang laughed heartily, patted his chest to promise, Lin Ruoqing was touched by the sincerity in his eyes, at least he is here, so she can feel at ease tonight .

Bai Yutang told Lin Ruoqing a lot of funny stories about the world, which made Lin Ruoqing laugh out loud several times. Ever since she came to this other world, Lin Ruoqing had never been so happy. She suddenly felt that with a friend like Bai Yutang, she would never be lonely .

At dawn, Bai Yutang just left. Lin Ruoqing stretched and felt sore all over. She turned around and went back to her room to take a nap. She didn't open the door until old man Lin arrived.

The matter seemed to be far from over. In the next few days, two more rape cases occurred in the capital. The victims were all young girls. All of a sudden, people in the capital were panicked, and powerful people flocked. Employed guards to protect the family, the small family can only lock their daughters at home and not let them go out.

Everyone in Kaifeng Mansion was also worried about these cases. After investigation, the murderer was tall and knew some martial arts. Ordinary servants were no match for him. Moreover, he always masked his face when committing crimes, so no one could see his true face.

"There is one more thing. I wonder if it was a coincidence or the murderer did it on purpose?" Gongsun Ce said, scratching his beard.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"That is, the names of the victims all have the word 'xiu' in them." Bao Zheng replied looking at Zhan Zhao.Zhan Zhao was startled, is this a clue?There are more than a thousand girls with the word "Xiu" in their names in the capital. Even if they were, how would they know who the murderer's next target would be?

After several murders happened, Lin Ruoqing was also terrified, she didn't dare to live in the store alone, but went home with old man Lin at night.Later, Bai Yutang really kept his promise and brought a few bottles of wine to Lin Ruoqing's small shop. Lin Ruoqing treated the God of Wealth well.While drinking, Bai Yutang told Lin Ruoqing that this was the best Zhuyeqing. Lin Ruoqing didn't know much about wine, she just memorized the name of the wine, but didn't pay much attention to it.

The sky was overcast and the north wind was blowing,
