Beauty is sick

Jinling Jiubai smiled boredly: "Does Pei Tanhua want to hear me say that? But unfortunately, your wish is doomed to fail. I am not the murderer who killed the magistrate."

Pei Zhe had the impulse to shave Jin Lingjiu several times before, but the sum of them was not as strong as it is at this moment. If it wasn't for his rationality, when Jin Lingjiu said this sentence, he would have thrown his hand directly.

The worse Pei Zhe's face became, the happier Jin Lingjiu was. He said cheerfully, "Pei Tanhua won't take it seriously, right? We all have a bit of brains. Even if I am really the murderer of the magistrate, how could I be in front of you?" admit it face to face."

"You're not a murderer." Pei Zhe said indifferently, "We said before that our impression of the prefect is that you don't like him, he's too dirty, it's not worth your hands, and you don't kill him if you want to kill him."

Jin Lingjiu fell silent.

The moonlight penetrated into the window paper, and Pei Zhe's voice was very soft: "It's such a dirty man with a fat head, how can he invite you? The first floor in the world is well-informed, did you expect it before the magistrate was killed?" All of this is why I will come to Huaizhou City to participate in the Shangyuan Banquet."

"Do you believe in ghosts and gods?" Jin Lingjiu paused, and then said, "Didn't it spread a few years ago, the magistrate will have a terrible death, rather than saying that I expected all of this, it is better to say that I came here for you The crown prince travels south, accompanied by the young teacher, the first Tanhua who has always heard nothing but is coming to Huaizhou City, I am not the only one who wants to see and see, Pei Tanhua, you have lived in the temple for a long time and you don’t know, there are too many About your legend."

Pei Zhe was at a loss for words. Ever since he heard the "unfortunate death", he had a strange expression on his face, as if he had been caught in a pigtail, and felt guilty.

He flicked his sleeves, and said carefully: "We are each other, but the legends of the rivers and lakes can't be trusted. As you know, Mr. Ninth, you are also a 'regular visitor' on our temple."

Jin Lingjiu smiled coldly: "Are you saying I'm rebellious?"

Pei Zhe stood up, and said slowly: "Young Master Jiu was joking, the big guy talked a lot about why you built the No. To the ninth son's answer?"

Xu is so happy to send away uninvited guests, Jinling Jiu didn't take Joe at all, then stood up, poured out the cold tea in the teacup, stepped on the water stains, returned He wrote eight words: "It's hard to get overwhelmed by water, so I have no choice but to do it."

Pei Zhe went over these words in his heart, and sighed: "I have two hectares of land in Luoyang, and I can wear the seal of the six kingdoms."

He held the door, looked sideways, revealed half of his face, and said in an unclear tone: "Jinling Jiu, what happened in Huaizhou City, do you know?"

What happened to Huaizhou City? Is there anything bigger than the death of the magistrate?

Yes, His Royal Highness was kidnapped.

Jin Lingjiu said calmly: "Master Pei already has the answer in his heart, so why bother to ask me?"

After sending Pei Zhe away, Jin Lingjiu packed up the teacups bit by bit: "Come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, the window was opened, and a black figure came in immediately. When he landed, he saw that it was the left screen or who it was.

Zuo Ping put his hands together and saluted Jin Lingjiu: "Master Jiu, he took a walk around the house, looked at the screen, flipped through the book by the bed, closed the window, and..."

Jin Lingjiu raised his eyes: "What else?"

Zuo Ping gritted his teeth, and quickly spit out a sentence: "I also smelled the water in the tub."

There was only a "click", and the teacup in Jin Lingjiu's hand was crushed directly. With an ugly face, he threw the broken porcelain in his hand into the tea tray.The tiles were sharp, but Jin Lingjiu's palm was not damaged at all. He picked up the handkerchief at the side, wiped his hand carefully, and slowly calmed down.

Zuo Ping looked at him worriedly: "Master Jiu, can our plan really go ahead, Pei Zhe..."

Jin Lingjiu understood what he wanted to say, put down the veil, and smiled: "Why can't it go on, I think Pei Zhe is very suitable."

The left screen was full of confusion: "suitable?"

Jin Lingjiu sat down at the table, and asked back: "What did he ask about what he said tonight, did you hear it?"

Zuo Ping nodded: "I heard."

Jin Lingjiu rubbed his knuckles: "There are not many brains in the capital, and he is one of the rare smart people. He didn't come here tonight for the case of the magistrate, but just wanted to verify his guess in the name of interrogation." .”

Zuo Ping was confused: "Didn't he suspect that you are the murderer who killed the magistrate?"

"He knows that the murderer is not me." Jin Lingjiu shook his head, and said flatly, "The sky is high and the emperor is far away. He is here to confirm whether I have any treasonous thoughts."

Zuo Ping was shocked: "Master?"

Jin Lingjiu smiled unabated: "What are you panicking about? Ever since the establishment of the first building in the world, there has been no lack of such doubts. The timing of our appearance this time is too ingenious. It is reasonable for him to try a thing or two, but he doesn't know. , Which side is this Pei Zhe from?"

Zuo Ping pondered for a moment, and said: "Prince Ren is a young teacher, and he has no real power in his hands. Someone must have done it deliberately. If it is that person, he should not have no power at all and be detained in the capital."

"It depends on the situation, but it's not necessarily true." Jin Lingjiu pressed his eyebrows, "After all, no one can tell whether a lunatic is really crazy. Pi, like a mirror in your heart."

Zuo Ping remained silent, and Jin Lingjiu said with disgust: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's talk about the bad luck of the big festival, let's talk about Tan Hualang. This is just one of them. The most important purpose of his coming here should be to see if I am It stands to reason that he shouldn't be aware of the person who plotted against him so quickly, something must have gone wrong."

Zuo Ping's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be that guy?"

Jin Lingjiu gave a "tsk" sound: "Most likely."

Murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the left screen: "Will this affect our plan? Should I act first?"

Jin Lingjiu raised his eyes: "No need, the most dangerous place is the safest place, and the most suspicious person is often the least likely to arouse suspicion. Pei Zhe is not an ordinary person, and in front of him, being flawless will cause suspicion. Now all the clues Pointing at us, I guess, he should regard us as poor people who have no relationship with Zhongli."

After Pei Zhe left Room No. [-] of Tianzi, he met Yun Wuyang and Zhong Limei. Zhong Limei fell hard and couldn't go home by himself. Yun Wuyang accompanied him to open a room. deal with it.

Seeing Pei Zhe, Yun Wuyang immediately remembered what they said before, and hurriedly asked, "My lord, have you successfully robbed the rich?"

Zhong Limo glanced behind Pei Zhe, and asked curiously, "What kind of riches are you robbing?"

Yun Wuyang scratched his head, and said in a proud tone, "Young master said he can't afford to support me anymore, so he's going to rob the rich."

Zhong Li was stunned, were these two people Tan Hua Lang and his book boy, or the bandit leader and his younger brother?

Pei Zhe waved his hand: "I robbed a cup of tea, don't mention it, I met a poor man, a man as poor as Mr. Zhongli."

Zhong Limei: "..."

The more Pei Zhe looked at Zhongli, the more sympathetic he became: "Does Mr. Zhongli have the money to pay for the room?"

Zhong Limei broke out in a cold sweat when he watched him, and hurriedly said: "Yes, don't bother Mr. Pei."

This is the truth, Zhong Limai worked hand in hand with the magistrate, and collected a lot of people's admiration, he often haunted the place of fireworks, although he didn't spend a lot of money, but he was also generous, and he could still get the money.

Pei Zhe smiled with satisfaction: "It's good if you have it. As for the expenses of finding someone to look after the horse and hiring a doctor, Mr. Zhongli will pay for it when he has time. It's fine for Yun Wuyang, and I won't give you a change."

Zhong Limei: "..." I'm sorry, the total cost is a fraction.

Yun Wuyang joined in the fun and interjected: "And I will support you from front to back, and work hard without complaint. There are credits and hard work, so there should be wages."

Zhong Limei: "...OK."

After collecting the debt, Pei Zhe was in a good mood, and went back to his room after saying goodbye.

It's past the third watch and it's late at night. It's time to rest. Pei Zhe's work and rest schedule is very regular. This is the first time he rests so late in recent years.

Pei Zhe tidied up briefly, and muttered in a low voice: "Beauty is misleading."

Lie on the bed and close your eyes. In the dead of night, when it was time to rest, Pei Zhe suddenly sat up again and scratched his hair agitatedly. The stamina of the two cups of tea was too strong, and he couldn't fall asleep.He fell on the bed hopelessly, with thoughts churning in his mind, and he yawned so sleepy, but he just couldn't fall asleep. He stared sideways out of the window, and would call four or five in a while, and now it would be dawn if he didn't sleep.

Pei Tanhua closed his eyes, tried to hypnotize himself, and fell asleep before the sound of the watch, perhaps God knew his urgency, Pei tossed and tossed for a long time, and fell asleep before the fourth watch.

In the early morning, Pei Zhe was playing chess with Duke Zhou in his dream when he was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door.

Yun Wuyang would come to wake him up every morning, and Pei Zhe yawned so sleepy that he stepped on his shoes and opened the door without putting on his coat: "Yun Wuyang, you—"

"Master Pei, good morning."

The words were interrupted, Pei Zhe tried his best to raise his eyelids, and saw a row of men in official uniforms with knives, surrounding the door tightly, and the leader smiled at Pei Zhe.

Early in the morning, my good fellow, why the hell did Lin Jingkong come over?

"My lord, you're awake...eh?" Yun Wuyang squeezed in from among the officers and soldiers, looked at Lin Jingkong, "Commander Lin, why are you here?"

Lin Jingkong must have something to do when he came here early in the morning. Pei Zhe knew that he would not be able to sleep this time, so he closed the door, let them break it, and went back to the house to get dressed.

After Pei Zhe packed up and came out, Lin Jingkong’s smile when he greeted him was gone, his face was as black as the mud near the embankment last night, and all the officers and soldiers around him bowed their heads and shrugged their shoulders Yes, only Yun Wuyang was active, with an unsatisfactory expression on his face.

Pei Zhe knocked on Yun Wuyang with his fan, and said, "Be careful."

He turned his head to look at Lin Jingkong, and asked, "Commander Lin didn't come here just to wake me up this early in the morning, did he?"

Before Lin Jingkong could speak, Yun Wuyang said first, "My lord, it's a happy event. Commander Lin has gone to hell."

Lin Jingkong: "..."

Pei Zhe looked at Lin Jingkong, and then glanced at the surrounding officers and soldiers: "I don't know if Commander Lin has seen a ghost. Looking at this posture, I almost thought I had seen a ghost."

Lin Jingkong: "..."

A group of officers and soldiers: "..."

Yun Wuyang laughed, Lin Jingkong said with a dark face, "I came to see Mr. Pei this morning because someone died again."

Yun Wuyang interjected: "Yes, son, let me tell you, Commander Lin went home last night and heard the cry of a baby on the road, and woke up this morning to find an extra corpse at the door, do you think he has run into a ghost? "

Lin Jingkong glared angrily: "Can you let your mouth rest?"

Yun Wuyang shrugged: "Commander Lin's management is too wide."

Lin Jingkong remained expressionless: "No, I'm just concerned about you. Your mouth is better than the crying baby last night. I'm afraid we'll meet another corpse when we leave the inn."

Yun Wuyang: "..."

Pei Zhe remembered what he had said to Jin Lingjiu last night, that the death of the magistrate was also related to ghosts and gods, so it was too coincidental to come here this morning.

The Tianzihao rooms are all on the first floor, and it’s hard to hear such a big commotion at Pei Zhe’s side. As soon as Jinling Jiu went out, he had a face-to-face meeting with the officers and soldiers.

Jin Lingjiu slept well, and the sickness from yesterday could no longer be seen on his face. He looked at Pei Zhe and said hello: "Did you sleep well last night?"

Which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted, Pei Zhe gritted his teeth and squeezed out a word: "...OK."

Upon hearing this, Yun Wuyang said, "My lord, you didn't sleep well, your eyelids are turning blue."

Jin Lingjiu smiled lightly, but remained silent.

Pei Zhe was dismantled and felt shameless, so he slapped Yun Wuyang with a fan, and borrowed Lin Jingkong's words: "Can you let your mouth rest?"

Yun Wuyang: "..."

Pei Zhe kept muttering in his heart, he didn't hear the beeping sound before going to bed last night, it stands to reason that he slept for at least two hours, how could he still be so sleepy?

Zuo Ping came up from downstairs and said to Jinling Jiu, "Master Jiu, can we go to the nearby Pinxiang Building for breakfast?"

Jin Lingjiu nodded, and said politely, "Did Pei Tanhua eat? Do you want to come together?"

The polite words can't be true, just listen to them, but there are some people who have no eyesight, and Pei Zhe, who has no eyesight, has a bright smile: "Master Ninth is so kind, we can't refuse anything, right, Commander Lin?"

So, not only Pei Zhe, but also Lin Jingkong and a group of officers and soldiers followed Jinling Jiu and headed for Pinxiang Tower in a mighty way.

Pinxianglou is the best restaurant in Huaizhou City. It is said that the shopkeeper is from the capital. The chef in the restaurant has also cooked imperial meals. The dishes are exquisite and delicious. It is the favorite place for dignitaries in Huaizhou City .

Apart from the high price, there is nothing wrong with it.

Yun Wuyang moved closer to Pei Zhe, pointed to Jin Lingjiu in front of him, and muttered in a low voice: "My lord, last night you said you were going to rob the rich, is this the one who robbed you?"

Pei Zhe had forgotten about this a long time ago. He only remembered it when he mentioned it. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "How is it? Isn't this a good person to rob the rich?"

Yun Wuyang looked at the large gilded plaque in Pinxiang Building, nodded in agreement, his eyes lit up, rubbed his hands together and said, "It's not only good, next time you do this, young master, remember to bring me with you."

Pei Zhe had no choice but to laugh, gave him a fan, and scolded with a smile: "Look at how promising you are."

Zuo Ping reserved two private rooms, all the officers and soldiers were in one room, and five people including Jinling Jiu and Pei Zhe were in one room. All kinds of dishes were served again.

The guys kept serving dishes, and the table was filled up in no time. Pei Zhe looked at the dishes in front of him, secretly speechless, what a good fellow, it really feels like robbing the rich.

Jin Lingjiu was drinking his porridge, and looked at Lin Jingkong: "Commander Lin came here so early in the morning, but what happened?"

The Nine Famous People of Jinling were away, Lin Jingkong didn't want to hide him, stopped his chopsticks and nodded: "Another person died."

Food needs to be eaten, cases have to be dealt with, and in this world, death is nothing new. Except for the famous and powerful figures like the magistrate, when other people die, the officers and soldiers handle it in private. It is worthy of Lin Jingkong Vigorous tossing, presumably dead people are quite new.

The so-called freshness means special, and there are two manifestations, one is that the method of death is special, and the other is that the identity is special.

Jin Lingjiu narrowed his eyes, stirred the porridge in the bowl with a white porcelain spoon, and asked curiously, "Is this person a special person, or is his identity different?"

Lin Jingkong shook his head: "Not at all."

Pei Zhe raised his eyes and said, "Commander Lin came here to block my door on purpose, he must be hungry."

Yun Wuyang was happy: "I think Commander Lin is not full, but hungry, so he came here on purpose to eat."

"..." Lin Jingkong put his chopsticks on the table, and said expressionlessly, "This person's death has something to do with the prefect, he is the murderer who killed the prefect."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone stopped and looked up.

After Lin Jingkong finished speaking, he gave instructions to the officers and soldiers that he brought the corpse to the inn to look for Pei Zhe, and it was a temporary idea for dinner, so it is not good to bring the corpse in directly.But now that he had finished eating by himself, it didn't matter, so he asked someone to bring the corpse in directly. Lin Jingkong was used to running rampant in Huaizhou City, and never cared about others.

People don't fight with the officials, the face of the shopkeeper of Pinxiang Building is green, watching the officers and soldiers carry the corpse covered in white cloth into the building, the corpse has already smelled, as soon as it is carried in, there are fewer people eating in the lobby More than half.

Pei Zhe put down his chopsticks resentfully, and looked at the dishes on the table with regret. No matter how strong his mental quality was, he couldn't eat in front of the corpse.

Jin Lingjiu didn't eat anymore, took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, he gave Zuo Ping an order, Zuo Ping nodded, and left the private room.

On the whole table, only Yun Wuyang ate happily, without being affected at all.

Lin Jingkong snorted: "Can you still eat a corpse?"

Yun Wuyang took a bite of the custard bun, and glanced at Lin Jingkong: "I can eat Commander Lin, let alone a corpse."

Lin Jingkong who lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot: "..."

Jin Lingjiu sipped his tea nonchalantly, and asked, "How does Commander Lin know that that man is the murderer of the magistrate?"

Yun Wuyang took a bite of the lotus cake, and tsk-tsk: "As far as Commander Lin's IQ is concerned, it must not be found out. I guess it may be that the words 'I am a murderer' are written on the corpse."

Yun Wuyang arranged Lin Jingkong's choreography vigorously, and it took a long time to feel that something was wrong, as if something was missing.

Why didn't Lin Jingkong refute him?
