When a passerby becomes a princess

This kind of fast reading is beyond Taifu Li's cognition. The amount of information read in one day is the amount that Taifu Li can read in a month. What kind of concept is this?Moreover, the question he asked just now was specially selected, the smallest and not easy to pay attention to, but Lin Qiu answered it without thinking, so there is only one possibility, Lin Qiu memorized all these materials.

How wise and close to a monster, Li Taifu looked at Lin Qiu who was holding hands by Liang Xi, with an expressionless face, and only thought of this word in his mind.

Thinking of the word demon, Li Taifu couldn't help being terrified. For a moment, he thought of the four princes who died inexplicably, and why the emperor would hire a male wife for the prince. Are the reasons rumored in the market true?Could it be...he didn't dare to think about it, he just felt that the water inside was so deep that he couldn't see the bottom.

A gust of night wind blew by, and a chill ran from his back to the top of his head. Taifu Li calmed down, but looked at Lin Qiu with a little more vigilance in his eyes.

Mrs. Li didn't know that Chen Fan's expression fell into Chen Fan's eyes, but Chen Fan was more concerned about a small shadow on the corner of the street, he always felt that there seemed to be a person hidden there.

After dinner, Lin Qiu, accompanied by Nanny Liu, went for a walk in the small courtyard of the inn to digest food, while Liang Xi sat in the room and recalled the murder case this morning.

Liang Xi stayed at the border for a year. Although Lin Bo didn't let him actually fight on the battlefield, every time the battle ended, he would deliberately take him to the battlefield to "walk around".In the beginning, Liang Xi was always scared to death. Every time he came back from "walking around", he would dream of the mutilated corpses on the battlefield at night. After many times, he gradually got used to it, and even dared to help collect the corpses of the dead frontier soldiers.

He has seen the faces of many dead people, angry, desperate, sad, peaceful... There are all kinds of expressions, but he has never seen such a strange smile like the old man today, as if Get what you want, and it seems to be expecting something.

Liang Xi has always been very patient and willing to use his brain when it comes to things he is interested in. He even took out a pen and paper and wrote down everything he saw during the day, analyzing bit by bit, the more he analyzed, the more he felt. This is no ordinary murder.

"What's the problem?" Liang Xi lay on the table thinking hard.

In a daze, he seemed to have returned to that alley again, but this time he did not stand at the entrance of the alley, but walked in step by step.

The old man was lying in the alley, with gray hair, wearing blue-gray homespun clothes, with a dagger stuck across his back, his left hand was stretched forward, his right hand was bent at his side, and his legs were straight. Stretch back, toes almost touching the wall.Liang Xi walked around the old man again and again, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of what it was.

While he was in a hurry, there seemed to be some noise coming from the alley. He was just about to walk over to have a look, but somehow he tripped over a corpse.

Liang Xi stood up abruptly, and shouted: "Horizontal, how could it be horizontal?"

If the murderer was attacking from behind, the old man must have thrown himself forward, but in the morning he clearly saw the old man lying in the alley, so it couldn't be that the murderer was standing by the wall and let the old man turn his back on him to commit the murder. ?Moreover, the old man's feet were only a palm away from the wall, which was not enough room for another person to stand.

Thinking of this, Liang Xi couldn't sit still immediately, he picked up a lantern outside and walked out, no matter what, he wanted to go to the scene to see it again.

It was almost Haishi at this time, and although there were still two supper vendors on the street in late autumn, there were not many pedestrians, and there was not a single pedestrian near the nursing home because there were no residents.

Liang Xi stood in the alley, looking at the dark pool of blood on the ground carefully under the dim light of the lantern. The dagger was not slotted, and there was not much blood on the ground. It looked like someone had spilled ink here. .Liang Xi thought for a while, and followed the position of the bloodstain with a lantern to illuminate the walls on both sides of the alley.

The courtyard walls of the nearby houses are basically made of clay, which will inevitably become soft and fall off after a long time. Liang Xi quickly found an oval hollow in the potholes, which was as deep as a knuckle. It looks like it was hit with something.He gestured at the height, and the location of the hollow was just a little below the chest.

Liang Xi stretched out his fingers to touch the hollow. The shape and size were so familiar, it was clearly the shape of a dagger handle, but why was there a hollow on the wall where the handle hit?

Before he had time to think about it, the sound of someone talking suddenly came from the courtyard wall on one side.

"Move faster, and transport it away as soon as the child's hour arrives, and there must be no mistakes."

"That adult is too careful. We have never made a mistake in all these years. He is always so cautious. It's really boring."

"Isn't that an old man who was suddenly killed? It's normal for that adult to be worried. Moreover, a new county magistrate has just arrived. Before we find out the details, it's better for us to be more cautious."

"That old man was not done by our brothers, and we couldn't find it on our heads. After all, two of the goods in this batch are in good condition. I want to keep them and use them myself."

"When will you be able to take advantage of this, kid? Didn't you just hook up with a widow last month?"

"That's what I said. If you really want to give me a kid, I still can't say it. But... if it's the one next to the new county magistrate, the skin is smooth and the eyes are black. Prettier than the girl , if we can get it, we might be able to harden it."

"You mean the cousin of the new magistrate?"

"What cousin, if you ask me, you must be a good friend."

"..."

Liang Xi couldn't listen to what was said later, he just felt a burst of fire in his heart, which made him completely forget that he was alone. As soon as he dropped the lantern in his hand, he wanted to climb over the wall and smash the two insults inside. Lin Qiu's bastard was chopped off.

But before his hand touched the courtyard wall, there was a gust of wind behind his head, and a wooden stick hit his head heavily. Liang Xi felt his eyes go dark, and fell to the ground.

At the same time, Lin Qiu, who came back from a walk to eat and drink, did not see Liang Xi, picked up the piece of paper on the table and looked at it for a long time, then said to Madam Liu in a daze, "What is written on this paper?"

Even a person like Lin Qiu, who has strong observation and discrimination ability, can't recognize the ghost-like characters.

Nanny Liu curled her lips, and said, "I guess I wrote it casually, it's not something important. It's getting late, servant girl will wait for you to rest."

Lin Qiu shook his head and said, "Wait for him."

Nanny Liu knew that "he" naturally referred to Liang Xi, but she didn't expect that Liang Xi didn't come back until midnight, and finally felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly went to each room to inquire, only to find that Liang Xi was missing.
