I was persuaded to break up every day [Sword Three + Seven Five]

Although Zhan Zhao's talk about half hanging people is indeed more maddening, but Mu Qiao is not such a curious person.In other words, she still has curiosity, just the kind of desire to get to the bottom of it, which has long been buried with certain things.

So in the end, Mu Qiao didn't ask Zhan Zhao what he wanted to say. After eating something and washing up briefly, the two of them discussed what to do when they arrived in Chenzhou. up.

It's worth mentioning that Zhan Zhao didn't fight Mu Qiao in the end and slept on the bed.The latter was used to sleeping on the street, so he didn't feel any discomfort at all, and soon fell asleep on all fours.Zhan Zhao, on the other hand, always felt that Mu Qiao was a weak (?) woman, she shouldn't sleep on the floor, her conscience was disturbed, and she couldn't sleep well no matter what.

Early the next morning, the cock crowed three times, and the two of them left the inn.

The sky was not bright yet, it was half black and half white, so there was no need to light a lamp.The watchman had already collected his things and returned home, and there was almost no one on the street. The sound of Zhan Zhao’s horse’s hooves falling on the ground was very clear, and the sound of hurried footsteps from a distance was also very loud. .

"The visitor is in a hurry." Mu Qiao said.

Zhan Zhao also said strangely: "This man doesn't seem to have any martial arts. He ran so early in such a hurry. Could it be that there is something urgent?"

Mu Qiao said indifferently: "I'll meet you soon, don't you understand after seeing it?"

Zhan Zhao laughed. Just as he was about to say something, his nose shrugged and his expression became serious: "It smells so strong of blood."

Mu Qiao also moved her nose slightly when she heard the words, of course...except for the smell of flowers and leaves, she didn't smell anything, let alone the strong smell of blood.

She looked back at Zhan Zhao, and thought: It really is a royal cat, this nose is also a cat's nose.

Zhan Zhao didn't see Mu Qiao's eyes, and rode his horse towards the direction where the bloody smell came from. Not far away, he saw a scholar in Tsing Yi holding something wrapped in lotus leaves in his hand, and kept going towards it. Bleeding down.

The scholar seemed to be in a hurry, walking very fast, without looking at the road, he almost bumped into Zhan Zhao's horse. Fortunately, the latter controlled the horse very well, thus avoiding an accident.

However, what is quite strange is that the scholar didn't accuse Zhan Zhao of not looking at the road, and he didn't seem to want to get entangled, he hurriedly said sorry and ran away holding the thing wrapped in lotus leaves.

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly: "Stop!"

Hearing this, the scholar ran even faster.

Zhan Zhao patted the horse's back with his right hand to use his strength, and the whole person flew into the air in an instant.After turning around in the air, Zhan Zhao went straight to the scholar in Tsing Yi. The scholar didn't know martial arts, he only knew how to run forward. After a while, he was held down by Zhan Zhao, and he couldn't escape any more.

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly and asked, "What is that in your hand?"

The scholar was trembling, not knowing what he was afraid of: "I... I bought a pig's head."

Mu Qiao also saw that something was wrong, dismounted and asked with a smile, "If you're just buying a pig's head, why are you in such a hurry?"

The scholar was dazzled by Mu Qiao's smile, he was dazed at first, but soon regained his senses, seeing the vigilance in the eyes of the two of them, he hugged the lotus leaf tightly: "I'm not in a hurry, What does it have to do with you? I advise you two to get out of the way quickly and let me go."

Zhan Zhao said: "It's true that your whereabouts have nothing to do with us, but..." He turned the giant que in his hand, and swung it again, sweeping the lotus leaf package in the scholar's hand directly to the ground.

The scholar was taken aback for a moment, and then he yelled: "My pig... ah..." Halfway through the yelling, it turned into a scream. The scholar sat down on the ground in horror, and then ran towards Zhan Zhao and the others. .

There was no other reason, but a bloody woman's head rolled out of the lotus leaf that was supposed to wrap a pig's head!

Mu Qiao saw many miserable deaths, so she was no longer as frightened as she was when she saw the dead for the first time, but the appearance of the head also made her frown slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

She looked down at the scholar who was so frightened that his pants were wet, and said in a cold voice, "Is this the pig's head you mentioned? It's quite thin."

The scholar shook his head: "No... no, I really bought a pig's head from Butcher Zheng. Just now, how...how did it become a human head?"

Mu Qiao glanced at Zhan Zhao, who nodded slightly to her: Seeing the terrified appearance of this scholar, it doesn't look like a fake, he really doesn't know why the pig's head was replaced by a human head.The crux of the matter should be with Butcher Zheng.

But things might not be that simple, Mu Qiao knelt down and looked at the scholar and said, "Then why did you go to buy a pig's head at dawn? Is there any happy event at home that you want to sacrifice to the gods?"

The scholar trembled, turned his eyes away from Mu Qiao, and said falteringly: "Just... my mother, my mother was ill before, a serious illness, and finally recovered. I, I thank the Bodhisattva."

"Oh?" Mu Qiao raised his eyebrows, "Then what's wrong with your mother?"

The scholar was dumbfounded: "What disease...is it..."

Mu Qiao got up and clapped her hands: "My...husband, I think it's better for us to go to his house to have a look, maybe the half of the corpse is lying in their house." While talking, she gave Zhan Zhao a wink.

Zhan Zhao nodded amusedly.In fact, in terms of experience in solving crimes, he has followed Bao Zheng for some time, which is much more than what Mu Qiao can tell.This scholar has nothing to do with this murder case, but there must be something to hide.It now appears that the clues are in his home.Well, didn't you see that, after hearing Mu Qiao's words, the scholar's anxious face turned pale.

"You... who are you? Who allowed you to break into private houses!" The scholar finally started to think, and boldly said.

Mu Qiao said: "Or, do you prefer that we send you to the government?"

I have to say that after working in the Yamen for a few months, Mu Qiao is now more and more able to pinch people, and his ability to scare people has also improved a lot.As soon as she finished speaking, the scholar quickly shook his head like a rattle.

"No, no... I have nothing to do with this head!"

Mu Qiao said: "It's okay if you say it's okay? Let's ask the official to have a look."

The scholar said with a bitter face: "Don't, don't, I say it's still okay?"

Zhan Zhao said: "Don't try to get away with it, otherwise, I will really send you to see the official." Not to mention, Zhan Zhao's whole body is upright and awe-inspiring, and when he scolds others with a straight face, it really scares those who have ghosts in their hearts. Not light.

The scholar was terrified: "I say, I say!"

The scholar's name is Han Ruilong, and he lives with his mother.In the past few days, he has seen people walking around in his room, but he didn't see anything when he searched for it.Han Ruilong was afraid that this person was here to harm others, so he looked for something strange in the place where he appeared, and it turned out that he really found something strange - there was an extra layer of floating soil under the bed.The mother and son quickly dug up the soil, and finally dug out a box, which turned out to be full of gold and silver.Although his mother felt that the gold and silver came from improper sources and could not be used, Han Ruilong thought that it was his hard work that touched God and gave him money, so he came here before dawn to buy a pig's head as a reward for God's kindness.
