Cannon fodder apprentice reborn

Mei Hanyue was seriously injured and was still being hunted down. Ruan Qiu didn't have time to heal her. He heard Song Xinting's plan to take her away. Unexpectedly, the man in black cut him down, and Song Xinting who stood in front of them was killed. Knocked into the air, suddenly fell in the distance.

"elder brother!"

Ruan Qiu's heart tightened, and from the corner of his eye, he saw that the man in black didn't stop because of this, and the bloody knife flew out of his hand, rushing towards him through the wind——

Ruan Qiu didn't have time to take Mei Hanyue away, and with a frozen expression, he handed Mei Hanyue to Axi, pulled out the green jade hairpin, turned it into a jade sword, and attached the whole body's spiritual power to the sword, always paying attention Yin Wuchen on his side also recalled it.

In desperation, Ruan Qiu didn't use his sword intent, but also got the help of Yin Wuchen's sword energy. The autumn water wrapped in the chilling autumn wind crashed into the billowing blood mist brought by the black and red long knife. Debris piled up on street corners.

The sword energy collided with the long knife and exploded in front of the gate of Liutongchun Pavilion, triggering the formation in Liutongchun Pavilion instantly, and the golden light suddenly rose from the seven-storey building, which was especially clear in the quiet inner city at night.

The man in black probably didn't expect that Ruan Qiu could burst out such a powerful sword energy during the foundation building period. This blow was almost knocked back by the sword energy, and Ruan Qiu, who had just established the foundation, resisted the blow and was also defeated. Shocked internally, nearly fell.

The shield condensed by the sword energy silently appeared around Ruan Qiu's body, and it disappeared for a moment, making Ruan Qiu stand firm. Leaning on the jade sword to support his suffocating heart, he heard Ah Xi's anxious voice behind him.

"Brother Xiaoqiu!"

Ruan Qiu took a breath, "I'm fine..."

He looked back at Mei Hanyue, who was in Ah Xi's arms with her eyes closed, and then at the man in black opposite him.Song Xinting had already breathed a sigh of relief, holding a sword with a pale complexion, and staggered over.

"Xiaoqiu."

Ruan Qiu nodded.

Before they could say anything more, the man in black wrapped in a cloak held his long knife again. Ruan Qiu, Song Xinting, and Axi all tensed up, and Yin Wuchen's slightly cold voice rang in Ruan Qiu's ears, "Xiaoqiu, quickly use your sword intent!"

The man in black was much more cultivated than them, and Ruan Qiu also understood that the only way to stop him was to use his sword intent. When Yin Wuchen was about to show up, a group of inner city guards in light armor in dark colors rushed out from Changjie.

Suddenly, a hasty whistle came from nowhere in the darkness, and the man in black immediately retracted his knife, and his sleeve robe shook out a burst of black mist, and when the black mist dissipated, the figure had disappeared.

Not to mention Yin Wuchen who hadn't shown up yet, Ruan Qiu and Song Xinting looked at each other in dismay, and at the same time they breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, the guards from the inner city rushed over and scolded, "What happened!"

Ruan Qiu came to his senses, put away the jade sword in a hurry, used the Vientiane Rejuvenation Art, and squatted down to stop bleeding and heal Mei Hanyue, protecting her heart veins.

Seeing this, Song Xinting also took away the spirit sword, and explained the situation with the inner city guards.

It is not a trivial matter to commit murder on the street in the inner city, let alone in front of the city lord's Liutongchun Pavilion, and the person who was injured was a steward of Liutongchun Pavilion. Song Xinting also explained this matter to the inner city guards for a long time, It was finally clear.

Mei Hanyue's heart and lungs were seriously injured, and her soul was damaged. Fortunately, the elixir that Ruan Qiu had given her earlier had taken effect, and the blood had gradually stopped, but she had already fallen into a coma. It's dangerous, you need to take medicine as soon as possible.

The guards in the inner city had confirmed Mei Hanyue's identity, and hastily sent someone to notify Liutong Chunge's chief steward, and helped them send her back.

When several people returned to the residence, Zhao San and his wife were all shocked when they saw Mei Hanyue's injury. Ruan Qiu consulted the doctor, but the three of them did not go back.

For this reason, Ruan Qiu used many of the high-grade spirit herbs that Ruan Qiu harvested today. Zhao San and his wife were grateful when they found out, but Mei Hanyue still didn't wake up.Ruan Qiu is not sure when she will wake up, her injury is too serious, it hurts the primordial spirit, so it is not so easy to heal.

After the night passed, Ruan Qiu was exhausted, and Song Xinting and Axi, who had been waiting in the Meihanyue Courtyard all night, did not dare to close their eyes.Seeing that Ruan Qiu finally came out, Song Xinting, who had meditated in the middle of the night and was fine, brought him a cup of hot tea, "How is it?"

The sky is already bright, and the morning fog has not yet dispersed.

Ruan Qiu took a sip of the hot tea, and his slightly pale face got better, "Not too good, the soul is seriously injured, I don't know when I will wake up."

Axi went back to the next door and brought the little weasel over, and said angrily, "Who is that man in black last night, who dared to commit murder in front of the gate of Liutong Spring Pavilion, the city lord's house!"

Song Xinting said: "It's not killing people in front of Liutongchun Pavilion. We saw very clearly last night that Sister Hanyue was injured in the pavilion. That person can sneak into Liutongchun Pavilion, maybe he is also from Liutongchun Pavilion. The cultivation base is still very high."

On this point, Yin Wuchen also mentioned to Ruan Qiu last night that the man in black had at least the strength of the Nascent Soul stage when he was the killer. period or more.

Ruan Qiu also shared this judgment with them, "The Spring Pavilion in Liutong is not an ordinary place. Even if no one was guarding it last night, there is still a formation mechanism in the pavilion. Without a key, it is difficult for outsiders to get in. Maybe what my brother said is right. This person may be from the Spring Pavilion of the Six Contracts, and since he has such a high level of cultivation, he is still in the Spring Pavilion of the Six Contracts, so it is not so difficult to find."

While they were talking, Zhao San also came out of Mei Hanyue's room. When he closed the door, he heard their words and came over with an empty medicine bowl, and said with a calm face, "I will definitely find this person out, and I won't let him go." Sister Ah Yue suffers for nothing!"

Ruan Qiu put down the tea bowl and got up, Zhao San also came over, and said with emotion: "Thanks to you this time, Xiao Qiu, Brother Song, you saved Ayu's sister, that is to say, my Zhao San's sister. I really don't know what to do." How to repay you is."

"Brother Zhao is offended when he said this. Back then, you and Sister Mei sent me to Xuanjizong thousands of miles away. I haven't repaid this kindness." Ruan Qiu was still worried about how to repay Zhao San and his wife. , This time I understand, although he does not hope to get this kind of opportunity to repay.He said seriously: "Brother Zhao, don't worry, I will definitely wake up Sister Hanyue."

Zhao San has been walking around the rivers and lakes all year round, and he is quite chivalrous. Hearing the words, he bowed his hands solemnly, "No matter what, I still want to thank you all, by the way..." He spread his hands solemnly, "This is Ah Yue, her sister just now Found it in her arms."

In his hand is a copper coin, engraved with strange and exquisite totems, which is very eye-catching, but there are still dried blood on it.

Zhao Sandao: "I don't know if this is something that hurt Ah Yue."

If there is evidence, it will be easier to find someone.

Ruan Qiu opened his eyes slightly, took the copper coin, looked at it for a while and said: "It doesn't look like an ordinary thing, but there is a trace of spiritual energy on it."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Zhao San asked them to watch first, then went to open the door, but saw that the person standing at the front outside the door was Ye Qiao, the head steward of Liutong Chunge.

This is not the first time for Zhao San to come to Shifang City, and he also recognizes the Chief Steward, with a bit of astonishment on his face, "Boss Ye, why are you here?"

Hearing that Ye Qiao was coming, Ruan Qiu and the others looked at each other and walked over, just as they heard him apologize repeatedly, "I left the outer city last night, and I came back immediately after knowing what happened. Are you all right? Don't worry, Brother Zhao. Han Yue is the steward of my pavilion, and I, the chief steward, will definitely seek justice for her."

Seeing that Ruan Qiu and the others were also there, Ye Qiao nodded gently, and pointed to the people beside him, "They are all good doctors in the inner city, I specially invited them to come and treat Han Yue's wounds, if there is any missing spiritual herb Even though Brother Zhao said that something happened in the Spring Pavilion of Liutong, as long as he can wake up, no matter how much it costs, I will be fully responsible for it in Spring Pavilion of Liutong.”

Ruan Qiu nodded in response.

Zhao San showed hesitation, looked at Ruan Qiu, but didn't let anyone in.

Ruan Qiu probably guessed what he was thinking, and persuaded him: "Master Ye also has good intentions. The doctors may have a way to wake people up faster. Let them see it first."

Zhao San's original intention was the same. He was afraid that Ruan Qiu had promised to cure Mei Hanyue just now, and he would let outsiders show up to Mei Hanyue, which would make Ruan Qiu uncomfortable. Seeing that Ruan Qiu didn't care, he breathed a sigh of relief and was in a hurry. Invite these doctors into the house.

Ye Qiao originally wanted to follow, but Ruan Qiu remembered the ancient copper coin in his hand, and hurriedly called him, "Boss Ye, please stay!"

Ye Qiao seemed a little taken aback, turned around and asked, "What's the matter, fellow daoist?"

"There is indeed one matter. It is about finding the man in black who suffered from severe typhoid fever, and I hope the chief steward can help me a little." Ruan Qiu cupped his hands.

Ye Qiao showed some distress on his face, and waved his hands to let a few doctors follow Zhao San into the room first, and then sighed: "Little fellow Taoist, I want to ask if the person who suffered from typhoid fever last night has been found? I'm really sorry, that person hasn't been found yet." , I have reported to the city lord's mansion, and they will send more people to find this person. In addition, I heard that several young daoists also met this person last night, and I am also looking for some young daoists to inquire about the situation last night, so that Get this guy out as soon as possible."

After knowing the high cultivation level of the man in black, Ruan Qiu knew that it might not be easy to find him. After a night, there was no news. My sister stayed with us for a long time in Liutong Spring Pavilion, until the pavilion was closed. But on the way back, Sister Hanyue said that something was left in the medicine storehouse and we had to go back to get it. We waited nearby for a while until the sky When I saw someone again in the dark, Sister Hanyue was seriously injured. The man in black should have injured her in Liutong Spring Pavilion, and he chased her all the way out."

"later……"

Ruan Qiu paused, and said to Ye Qiao: "The night guards noticed the movement, and the man left. But before he left, a whistle sounded somewhere. I guess, this man may have accomplices." , what do you think of the matter?"

Ye Qiao was a little surprised, "Accomplice?"

Ruan Qiu saw that he seemed to be ignorant, and frowned slightly, "It seems that they really didn't track down anything last night. Did Guanshi Ye ever think that this person could sneak into Liutongchun Pavilion, maybe it was you Liutongchun Court people?"

Ye Qiao's expression was serious, and he pondered: "I also had the same guess when I learned about this matter. To be honest, I don't want to doubt my own person, but it is true that this person suffered from typhoid fever in the pavilion. If you have any doubts Candidates may wish to be frank. No matter who that person is, why he hurts others, and breaks the rules of my Liutong Spring Pavilion, I, Ye Qiao, will never show favoritism!"

Ruan Qiu shook his head slightly, and Qiu Shui stared at Ye Qiao, "I have no doubts about the candidate. That person was wearing a cloak. It was late last night, and we couldn't see his appearance clearly. We only know that this person has a very high level of cultivation. Above the Nascent Soul Stage."

Ye Qiao was stunned, "Little Daoist, do you know that our Liutongchun Pavilion is not far from the City Lord's Mansion, and no one dares to cause trouble. There are only two Nascent Soul Stage worshipers in the pavilion, and there is a big formation set up by the City Lord. Except for the auction night On weekdays, there are very few people keeping watch at night, but last night there was no one sitting in the guard, and the watchmen were all at the back door, so they didn't have time to notice what happened in the pavilion."

That being said, there are more doubts.

Mei Hanyue herself is the steward of Liutong Spring Pavilion, so she didn't know where the watchman was last night for no reason, but she didn't go through the back door, but came out from the small side door in the front hall.

Ruan Qiu wondered, "Where did the two Nascent Soul Stage priests go last night?"

Ye Qiao said: "They don't often sit in the pavilion, they only watch on the night of the auction. There was nothing wrong last night. One of them retreated a few days ago, and the other, it was proved that he stayed in a restaurant in the outer city last night. They also rushed back soon. One of them was in the late Yuanying stage and the other was in the middle stage of Yuanying. Infancy is more."

Ruan Qiu raised his eyebrows, "Master Tang?"

Ye Qiao smiled wryly and said, "That's the younger brother of my city lord, who is now the big shopkeeper of Jinxiufang. Eight years ago, he was still the chief steward of Liutong Spring Pavilion, and he also had several high-level priests under his command. He left the city lord's mansion. Afterwards, half of the people followed him to Jinxiufang. Speaking of which, Master Tang's cultivation was at the stage of transforming gods back then, but... let's not mention it."

"It has nothing to do with what happened last night, so I won't say much more." Ye Qiao asked Ruan Qiu, "Aside from these, what else do fellow Taoists know?"

Hearing Ye Qiao mention Tang Xun, Ruan Qiu always felt that something was wrong. He didn't want to understand it, and he didn't want to, so he continued to stare at Ye Qiao.

"Forgive me, but the man in black who was able to sneak into the Liutong Spring Pavilion and ignore the magic circle set up by City Lord Song is most likely from your Liutong Spring Pavilion. Then, I don't know what cultivation Ye Da is doing?"

Ye Qiao wasn't surprised that Ruan Qiu would ask such a question, and he didn't show the slightest bit of offended shame on his face, "It's okay, I'm only in the early stage of Nascent Soul."

Yin Wuchen said that the man in black must have been above the Nascent Soul stage last night, if what Ye Qiao said was true, then it wasn't him.

Ruan Qiu thought about it, and handed over the ancient copper coin with a strange totem in his hand, "Does Manager Ye know the origin of this copper coin?"

When Ye Qiao saw the copper coin, his face was obviously a little surprised.

Ruan Qiu saw it and said affirmatively, "Boss Ye has seen this copper coin before."

Ye Qiao didn't deny it, his eyes darkened, he looked at Ruan Qiu and said, "I want to know where the little fellow Taoist got this copper coin. Judging by the blood stains on it, it seems that it was left not long ago."

"Boss Ye has a good eye." Ruan Qiu also confessed frankly, "Yes, this copper coin was indeed found on Sister Hanyue."

Ye Qiao gasped.

Ruan Qiu looked at his reaction with doubts in his eyes, "Master Ye?"

Ye Qiao's eyes dodged, and he raised his hand to press his forehead, his movements were a little uncomfortable.

Song Xinting watched for a long time, saw that his reaction was not right, and said: "Master Ye, it is related to whether there is an inner ghost in your Liutong Chunge. If you know anything, please let me know."

Ye Qiao sighed, "I understand, I have indeed seen this copper coin. It was nine years ago, when the shopkeeper Tang was still in Liutong Chunge. This copper coin is actually a set of twelve pieces in total. The totem symbolizes the twelve stems and branches, and each one is different. It came from a small country called Nishizawa in the northwest. However, Nishizawa had already destroyed the country 1000 years ago. Divination of the fortunes of the country is made by spending the country's resources to find strange stones from outside the sky. This is the only set in the world. Not to mention its usefulness, the materials themselves are extremely expensive, and they were once sold by the shopkeeper Tang, but..."

Seeing him pause, Ruan Qiu asked, "Have you already guessed who the man in black is?" Ruan Qiu asked.

Ye Qiao quietly glanced at Ruan Qiu and the others, returned the ancient copper coin to Ruan Qiu, and then said in a low voice: "This set of ancient copper coins was indeed sold by the shopkeeper Tang nine years ago, but he separated I sold it, and I kept half of it. Because the shopkeeper Tang is a survivor of Caesar, even though he came to Shifang City when he was very young, he is still very interested in Caesar's antiquities. I don't know that he sold the other half to Who, but I know, the remaining half was made into a string of bracelets by Shopkeeper Tang, and nine years ago, Shopkeeper Tang always wore that string of bracelets when he was still in the City Lord's Mansion."

Song Xinting said: "That is to say, if you want to find the man in black through this ancient copper coin, you have to go to the shopkeeper Tang and ask him to find out who bought the other half of the ancient copper coin nine years ago."

Ye Qiao smiled, "That's right. I believe this matter has nothing to do with Master Tang. Although he has been away from the City Lord's Mansion for so many years, he grew up in the City Lord's Mansion since he was a child. He has feelings for Mr. Song and the City Lord. He used to be in charge of Liutong Chunge, there are many old people around, it is not him who did it."

Ruan Qiu didn't think it was Tang Xun who did it either. He squeezed the ancient copper coin in his hand and looked at it, thinking that he had to ask Tang Xun.

Unexpectedly, while the few of them were talking, Tang Xun's voice sounded outside the door so coincidentally, "Ruan Qiu, have you come back alive?"

Ruan Qiu and the others were still at Mei Hanyue's house, and the opposite door was their rented yard. Tang Xun's voice was a little far away, coming from outside their rented yard.Just when Ye Qiao and the others came to the back door and the back door hadn't closed yet, Ruan Qiu walked out in response.

"I am here!"

Ye Qiao paused with a smile, and followed him out. Song Xinting looked at his back, doubts flashed in his eyes, and he also chased him out.

Ruan Qiu guessed right, Tang Xun was standing at the door of their rented yard.

Tang Xun looked back and saw him coming out of the opposite door across the street, his face was also very surprised, "How did you come out from there? Do you know the little steward of Liutong Chunge at the opposite door?"

As he spoke, he saw Ye Qiao behind Ruan Qiu again, his handsome face was filled with disgust, "Why are you with him!"

Ruan Qiu was taken aback for a moment, looked back at Ye Qiao, and asked Tang Xun, "Master Tang knows about Sister Hanyue? She was injured by a man in black last night. I helped her heal and stayed at her home overnight."

Tang Xun suddenly realized, and glanced at Ruan Qiuyi, "No wonder you are covered in blood." He squinted at Ye Qiao again, "Why didn't you tell me before that you knew the little manager at the opposite door? Also, why did you stay with him?" Together? Fortunately, I heard that you entered the city lord's mansion yesterday and worried about you all night."

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Tang, for your concern." Ruan Qiu was still so awkward when he heard his words, and couldn't help laughing, "We came out of the City Lord's Mansion very early yesterday, isn't Shopkeeper Tang very well informed?"

Tang Xun obviously didn't like Ye Qiao, so he deliberately suppressed his voice to avoid Ye Qiao, "Then you saw Song Yantai yesterday? He didn't like you, did he?"

"Not really." Ruan Qiu shook his head, "City Lord Song's appearance is amazing."

Tang Xun showed an expression as if he had been betrayed, and glared at Ruan Qiu as if he hated iron and steel, "You might as well look in the mirror more, lest you have too little knowledge and be easily confused by others."

Ruan Qiu smiled awkwardly, he just wanted to tease Tang Xun because he was too awkward.Remembering that he was going to ask Tang Xun about the bronze coins, Ruan Qiu became serious, "Sister Hanyue rented the yard for us. I have known her sister and brother-in-law since I was a child. We went to Liutong Spring Pavilion yesterday, and Hanyue at night Sister was injured in the pavilion, and the man in black chased us out and tried to kill us, but he fled after alarming the city guards, and Sister Hanyue has not yet woken up."

But Tang Xun was not interested in listening to him so much, "What does their business have to do with me, that's fine, I have nothing to do with you, you love to play with them, go play with them, I'm going home."

Ruan Qiu hadn't finished speaking yet, seeing Tang Xun waved his hand and wanted to leave, so he quickly stopped him, "Master Tang, I have something to ask you!"

Tang Xun looked at him impatiently, and Ruan Qiu understood his temperament somewhat, so he quickly took out the ancient copper coin, and made a long story short, "I found this on Sister Hanyue, it may hurt her very much." The man in black is related, I asked Steward Ye, this ancient copper coin came from an ancient country, Caesar, and it was once sold by shopkeeper Tang, right?"

When Tang Xun heard the words, he cast a sideways glance at Ye Qiao, who was not far away. Seeing that gentle smiling face, his face became even more ugly, and he slapped Ruan Qiu's hand away, causing the ancient copper coin to roll to the ground.

"So what, you listen to him, why don't you ask him!"

"Hey...you!"

Ruan Qiu didn't feel pain, she was afraid of losing the copper coin, so she stopped arguing with Tang Xun, her complexion sank, and she quickly squatted down to pick up the copper coin.

Tang Xun wanted to leave at first, but when he saw Ruan Qiu hurriedly chasing after the bronze coin, he stood still in the same place with a guilty conscience, his expression was still very bad, "Don't come to me again about Liutong Chunge, when I leave the city lord's mansion I didn’t take anything away, and I didn’t take anyone who wanted to follow me, I don’t owe them anything!”

Song Xinting glanced at him faintly, stepped forward to help Ruan Qiu pick up the ancient copper coins rolled into the corner, and said coldly: "Xiaoqiu just wanted to ask you, it's about whether you can find someone who is seriously typhoid Yuejie, you don't care if you don't want to talk about it, There's no need to bully him."

Ruan Qiu patted off the dust on the ancient copper coins, but he wasn't really angry, but his face was not as polite as before, "Don't care if Shopkeeper Tang doesn't want to say it, we can always find out who that person is."

"Then go ahead and investigate, it has nothing to do with me anyway." Having said this, Tang Xun didn't stay any longer. He glanced at Ruan Qiu with a complicated look on his face, and turned around to go back to the next door.

Ye Qiao hadn't spoken until now, and finally spoke at this moment, when he suddenly stopped Tang Xun, "Master Tang, stop."

Tang Xun sneered, and really stopped, "I still think that you, a fake good person, have changed your temperament, and you don't talk when you meet each other. It turns out that you haven't changed."

Ruan Qiu checked the ancient copper coin and was relieved to confirm that there was no damage.Hearing what Tang Xun said, he couldn't help but look at the two curiously.

Ye Qiao's face was still gentle, and he stepped forward and said, "Treasurer Tang still doesn't like me as always, do you still think that I was framing you when you left the City Lord's Mansion? Well, the City Lord said that the treasurer Tang has always been willful. I just have to wait patiently, we dare not not listen to the words of the city lord."

Tang Xun had a very bad temper. When he heard Ye Qiao's words, he immediately showed a bit of sarcasm. He said coldly, "Boss Ye has also learned how to speak quickly? Are you not pretending to be your good old man?"

Ye Qiao shook his head, with a calm smile on his face, "Everyone in Shifang City knows that I, the current head manager of Liutong Chunge, have always been at odds with Tang Da shopkeeper of Jinxiufang. Qiao also tried to avoid contact with you as much as possible. But today, someone under my command has an accident, and I have a question, so I have to ask shopkeeper Tang."

Tang Xun was not in a hurry to go back this time, "Want to ask me who bought the other half of the ancient coins back then? I don't even bother to answer that silly boy, why should I tell you?"

Ruan Qiu, who was inexplicably nicknamed a silly boy, was taken aback again, and looked at Tang Xun innocently and confusedly. They had never gotten along with each other, and if they quarreled, they quarreled. Why should they slander him?

Ye Qiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "I don't ask about this today, I just ask the shopkeeper Tang, what happened to the blood on your clothes, where were you last night? Are you in Liutong Spring Pavilion?"

Tang Xun's expression changed slightly, "What do you mean?"

Only then did Ruan Qiu see the bloodstains on the hem of Tang Shi's clothes. Although there were only a few places, because Tang's clothes were originally dark indigo, it was difficult to identify them for a while, but he could always see them after a few more glances. He suddenly realized Seeing something, she turned her head and looked at Ye Qiao.

Song Xinting also reacted, showing vigilance, and hurriedly guarding Ruan Qiu.

Looking at their reactions, Tang Xun frowned, "What do you mean?"

The head manager of Liutong Chunge also quickly explained Tang Xun's confusion. He said to Ruan Qiu: "Little Taoist friend said that the man in black who wanted to kill you last night was in the Nascent Soul stage. On top of that, being able to get mixed into the Spring Pavilion of Liutong, Hanyue found this ancient copper coin that was once handled by the shopkeeper Tang, and now..." He lowered his eyes to look at the dried blood on Tang's clothes, "I suddenly remembered, actually After the treasurer Tang left, the formation of the Spring Pavilion in Liutong has not changed, and it was arranged by the city lord for the treasurer Tang himself. Naturally, the treasurer Tang can come in and out freely. The treasurer Tang also has ancient copper coins like this. The evidence points to Shopkeeper Tang, if you can't explain your whereabouts last night and the source of the blood on your clothes today, even if I don't want to, it's hard not to suspect Shopkeeper Tang."

Tang Xun laughed angrily, "You doubt me? Why should I kill your people?"

Ye Qiao stared at him with disappointment on his face, "You and I have been at odds for a long time, I know you want to kill me, but the people under my command are innocent. Shopkeeper Tang, I don't want to embarrass the city lord, so I'm going to defend you As long as you tell me where you went last night and where the blood on your clothes came from."

Tang Xun sneered and said, "It's absurd. You have nothing to prove, so you concluded that I was going to kill that little steward last night? What if I don't say it?"

Ruan Qiu looked at Ye Qiao, then at Tang Xun, pushed Song Xinting away, and came out to say something fair, "We saw the man in black last night, I believe it's not shopkeeper Tang. But shopkeeper Tang, Where did you go last night?"

Tang Xun pointed at Ye Qiao, with anger in his eyes, "Even you believe him?"

Ruan Qiu said helplessly: "Shopkeeper Tang, calm down, I just want to find out the truth and find that person to avenge Sister Hanyue."

Tang Xun has a bad temper, even if he quarrels with others, he can easily lose the focus.

It is true that Ruan Qiu had received his help before, so she was still willing to trust him.

Tang Xun stared at him quietly and didn't speak for a long time.After a long stalemate, the carriage approaching not far broke the dead silence.

The carriage was followed by a few guards, whose clothes could not tell who it belonged to. When the carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley and the fat monk came down, no one could recognize that it was a person from the City Lord's Mansion.

The fat monk was still smiling, with a string of Buddhist beads wrapped around his hands, he walked over and said, "I saw the chief steward and shopkeeper Tang from afar, and by coincidence, Xiaoyou Ruan is also here."

"Senior Zhuang, you are here!"

Ruan Qiu recognized Zhuang Jiu, a monk in white, and he naturally understood that there was another master in the carriage, the young master they had agreed with Song Yantai yesterday, and they sent him here for treatment today.

Didn't expect them to come so early...

Ruan Qiu looked at Tang Xun and Ye Qiao distressedly, there was no result yet.

The author has something to say:

More, more, these two days are so cold, my hands are frozen X﹏X
