Probably when there are many people, they will be more daring. Before the leader's voice is finished, these people have already burst into the door with laughter, reaching out to grab the few people sitting in the room.
The generals were all wearing casual clothes, and they were so drunk that they didn't wake up after being kicked aside.
Those kicking people, grabbing property, smashing dishes, shouting and stretching out their hands to grab people in the room, dozens of hands and feet stretched out from all directions, and the scene was extremely chaotic for a while.
"Who the hell is 'bitch Xixi'!" Zhan Zhao was so angry that he jumped on the spot, but these mobs were all ordinary people who had never practiced martial arts, and he couldn't use heavy hands, so he could only put down the big que. He came to catch one person with bare hands, pulled the person out of the crowd by pulling the wrist, and threw the acupuncture points aside.
In such a chaotic situation, Zhan Zhao's movements hardly made any noise, and he was not noticed by the blood gushing mob at all. They were still pouring in one after another, reaching out and scratching.
Mo Qi and Zhan Zhao both had to worry about not being able to use heavy hands, and they seemed a little stretched for a while. Under the chaos, a mob with a silver knife squeezed from the back of the crowd to the front, with a ferocious face and a look of rage, raising his hand Then he swung the knife and stabbed Mo Qi who was closest to him in the back.
He still yelled in a straight voice: "You fucking——"
This knife seems to be shot casually, but in fact the angle is extremely tricky.If Mo Qi doesn't want other mobs to be killed by mistake, it will be difficult to escape.
Seeing that the tip of the knife was getting closer and closer to Mo Qi's back, there were still three feet, two feet, one foot left.
Before Mo Qi's hand touched the whisk, Gong Jiu's whistling palm wind came first.
The saints around him couldn't help but Gong Jiu was not a saint.
The fierce and vigorous palm wind slapped the person holding the knife straight away, and the strong wind like a huge wave threw the person and the crowd behind him upside down, smashing the railings and walls beside him. The walls fell from the third floor to the first floor one by one like dumplings.
Crowds coming from all directions were easily swept away by this palm.The mob who were not affected by the palm of the hand froze their movements in horror, and the shouts in their mouths to boost their morale stopped abruptly, and the restaurant suddenly fell into an abrupt silence.
Gong Jiu slapped his folding fan with a smile on his face, walked to the railing under the horrified eyes of the mob, looked down at the crowd who fell to the ground, and asked in a calm and cold voice: "Who are you talking about?" mom?"
Those who fell to the ground first acted as backs, and those who broke their hands or legs wailed miserably.At the top of the crowd, the knife-wielding man who was directly slapped by Gong Jiu had lost his breath, the knife in his hand was broken, his eyes were bulging, and he looked like he was dying, and he never had a chance to swear. Dirty words.
Gong Jiu didn't even give them any chance to react or flinch, hit first before talking, and then stepped on the dead body and said harsh words.
He stood by the broken railing and looked down coldly.
The mob standing next to Gong Jiu, who had been aggressively pushing in the door just now, pushed and shoved and tried their best to push out, for fear that they were the one closest to Gong Jiu, and they were so crowded that their feet could barely stand. In the state of being unable to touch the ground, Gong Jiu made way for Gong Jiu like Moses dividing the sea.
Master Mei was startled and said: "Why did you kill me!" He quickly lifted the hem of his clothes and trotted downstairs.
Thanks to Gong Jiu's blessing of killing chickens and monkeys, none of the mob dared to shout anymore, and each of them kept silent to give way to Master Mei.
The patrol soldiers, who were always late, finally arrived and surrounded the Hexi restaurant. The leader immediately went up to help Mr. Mei, lifted up the people who were on the ground floor of the first floor, and handcuffed those who were injured or not. , And arrested the mob upstairs who seemed to be frozen by an invisible force, frozen in place and did not dare to move, and was going to take them back for questioning.
Under Master Mei's orders, a few city soldiers walked into the wing room and snatched away a few drunk generals who were unconscious. General Mu, unable to move, was sent back to the barracks.
Looking at the corpse of the mob that was left behind, everyone in Kaifeng frowned and cast disapproving glances at Gong Jiu.Bao Zheng was more courageous, and said bluntly to Gong Jiu: "Your Majesty should not commit this killer, you should postpone this person for trial, maybe you can get some information from him."
Gong Jiu didn't bother to care about this bag of sunspots at all, but he glanced at Mo Qi who was staring at him silently, and closed his folding fan with a little impatience, jumped down to the third floor, and walked to the dead Song Dynasty man. Beside the well-dressed mob, he reached out and turned him over, ripping off the clothes on his back.A huge tattoo of the Xixia Ming Auditorium was uncovered and exposed.
Gong Jiu said coldly: "I found out when he made the move. Although it was only a single knife, it was the knife technique used by the killer in the Xixia Ming Auditorium. I have seen it before. You heard his strange official accent, could it be Didn't you notice it?"
Bao Zheng fell silent.
Master Mei murmured: "It turns out that the mob has repeatedly caused disturbances, but it was actually caused by Xixia people... Then those dead strangers were also caused by Xixia people?"
Zhan Zhao squatted next to the dead killer, carefully scrutinizing the man's attire: "It shouldn't be, the Xixia people made a rebellion, they wanted to start a war, and they wanted Hexi's soldiers to kill these mobs by mistake while suppressing the riots."
"Among these people, there should be many descendants of Song people and Xixia people. The Holy Majesty promised when General Pang recovered Hexi that he would not slaughter the Xixia people and their descendants who had settled in Hexi. If their If the plan is successful, then Li Yuanhao will be able to provoke a war with the Great Song Dynasty in the name of 'the Lord Song did not keep his word and killed innocent Xixia people indiscriminately'."
"Can you kill those strangers? How can that benefit Xixia?" Zhan Zhao shook his head, "Li Yuanhao is so cunning, that old fox would not do such a thing that is not good for Xixia."
The mob's interrogation proceeded very quickly. These people had the courage to fight, smash, loot and burn in the street when they gathered together. The ins and outs of the mob doing such evil things are clearly explained.
"...Basically there is only one reason, and that is money." Master Mei said, "They all said that someone gave them money 'over there'. You can take the silver. There are also Song people here, who promised the silver that if they can pretend to be Xixia people, they can get twice as much silver."
The "over there" in these populations is naturally the Xixia army on the other side of the Xiliang River, which has always had ulterior motives.
Master Mei interrogated all the mobs overnight, the bloodshot eyes became more obvious, and his thin body walked like autumn leaves, which were about to fall with the wind in the next second.Bao Zheng, who was watching, couldn't help being shocked: "You should rest first—"
Master Mei shook his head: "If the murderer is not caught, I will not be able to sleep well." He put the thick stack of notes in his hand back on the case table, and stood up, "No one knows about the murderer. Is it planning to attack an innocent person again at this moment, if we delay for a second, there may be another one of Hexi's corpses. I'd better take you to see the corpses."
·
·
The number of corpses in the Hexi morgue is almost as many as the pile of corpses that Mo Qi saw in the Yumen Pass poisonous jade mine.
Because of the different methods of committing the crime, Tao Zhifu was placed alone in a small room filled with ice cubes.The wound opened by Wu Zuo of Hexi is still being re-sutured, and it will take some time for the corpse to return to the way it was just delivered. Gongsun Ce and others made an appointment with Wu Zuo to see Tao Zhifu's body in the evening, and then turned out first. Look at the corpses of other aliens.
Zhan Zhao, who was in charge of taking care of the children, hugged Tang Yuandao with one arm, leaned against the door, and did not follow in. With his free hand, he did not forget to tightly cover Tang Yuandao's eyes.
Tang Yuandao pouted, stretched out his small hands, and covered Que Ling's soy eyes in his arms.
Que Ling, who was caught in the darkness before her eyes, said, "...Jiu Jiu Jiu?"
The corpses of natural strangers were placed in the big room, and they were all covered with white cloth.When the cloth was lifted, there were those dead men with soft and full chests like women. All of them were as mentioned in the newspaper, with high bulging abdomens. If you don't look at the lower body and face, they are almost the same as women who are pregnant in October.
Everyone followed Gongsun Ce to check one by one, until the last person was checked.
Gongsun Ce frowned: "The murderers all wiped their throats with knives and killed them with one blow. There were no other wounds on the body of the deceased, and there were no traces of violence on the lower body. If I had to say something, it was to cut the throat. There are some different kinds of knives."
Gongsun Ce directed the guards to divide the corpses into several categories according to different types of weapons: "Look at these people, they cut their throats with Western Region machetes, so the wounds are extremely deep, and the beginning of the wound is much shallower than the end. It becomes deeper in vain, and the tail end is the deepest; these are ordinary thin steel knives, so the diameter of the wound is the same at the front and back; these are broad broad knives..."
Mo Qi silently counted in his heart, and Gongsun Ce actually sorted out nearly a dozen different types of knives.
Zhan Zhao felt bored: "Does this murderer's house run a blacksmith's house? So many kinds of knives are hidden?" He was suddenly shocked, "Ah! Could it be that there are more than one murderer?"
Zhan Zhao squeezed away Gongsun Ce who was standing on his own territory with his hips akimbo, and the inspector stretched out his hand to explore the wound of the corpse: "...that's really the case!"
Zhan Zhao said to Bao Zheng: "Mr. Gongsun is easy to see after dividing it like this. Between the different weapons, the murderer's level of internal strength and knife skills are different."
Mo Qi's gaze landed on the corpse square formed by Gongsun Ce: "And this means that there are at least 13 murderers running around in Hexi."
Gong Jiu continued: "It doesn't sound like good news."
Bao Zheng's face was serious: "If there are many people committing the crime, then what are they trying to do against this kind of alien?" If it's just a single person, it's understandable, maybe it's just extreme discrimination by individuals, but so many people Get together and form a killing team for discrimination?This is too unbelievable.
Moreover, it is more difficult to check.
However, if such a team can find one of the thread ends, they will be able to pull out all the murderers hiding in the dark at once.
Mo Qi pursed his lips: "And these corpses are not necessarily all the aliens who are dead now. Hexi's household registration has always been difficult to register because of the mixed population. Now even if there are a hundred or more people missing, we can't compare them. Check out the roster at once." Mo Qi turned to Master Mei and said, "Master sent people to search for the corpse, but is it still going on?"
Master Mei sighed a few times and shook his head: "Mobs in Hexi are frequent. After the last search, I asked them to go back and continue patrolling to maintain stability."
Zhan Zhao rolled his eyes: "It seems that Daoist Mo and I both have jobs."
Zhan Shaoxia, who loves to run outside by nature and doesn't like to squat at home, is full of joy: "I will go to inquire with the Taoist leader in a while, and then explore the deep mountains and dense forests. If I go out now, I can also have breakfast on the way What! If you go a long way, please ask me—"
Prince Taiping's son was indifferent: "I will go with Mo Daochang, you stay and take this little troublemaker."
Are you kidding?Acting with the big head, going to the deep mountains and dense forests to be alone, and eating breakfast together, what's the matter with you Zhan Zhaozhan Xiong Fei?
Zhan Shaoxia: "..."
Little Troubled Leaning in Zhan Zhao's embrace, dare not speak out.
Que Ling turned her head, gently opened her beak, bit Tang Yuandao's hand, and comforted softly: "Whew."
I'll help you vent your anger later!
Que Ling shook her plump little butt ready to go, and raised her emerald blue poisonous thorns from under her tail feathers.
·
·
In fact, Mo Qi intends to stay and take care of his little apprentice. After all, Zhan Zhao and Gong Jiu can do it regardless of whether he or she is looking for the corpse.But as a master to accompany Tang Yuandao and teach Tang Yuandao to learn martial arts, this is something only he can do.
But Prince Taiping had spontaneously tied up with him, if he didn't go, Zhan Zhao would be the only one looking for the corpse.
Mo Qi and Gong Jiu walked along the street market in Hexi. Instead of becoming indifferent because of the mob and the dead, the place became more and more lively, but there were weapons placed by the doors of every shop, obviously to deal with the mob. And the murderer, which shows that the people here are tough.Hexi’s control of the market is not too strict, and a red cloth spread along the street can be filled with a wide variety of goods, many of which have a strong Western Xia style, which is enough to see that Hexi was scrambled by the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia Dynasty. How much it has been affected over the years.
Mo Qi frowned, and shook his head to reject a rattle drum salesman with a mysterious face who insisted on selling him the "Five Stones Powder". He crossed his arms and looked at Gong Jiu, who seemed to be indifferent, but actually saw his jokes. Said: "What are you doing here?"
Could it be that those corpses are still hidden in such a busy city?
Gong Jiu raised her pretty sword eyebrows: "Of course I came here to eat breakfast and buy clothes."
"..." Mo Qi turned around and left.
Gong Jiu stretched out his hand to grab Mo Qi's Taoist robe with quick eyes: "Are you sure you want to leave? If you leave, you won't hear the news I inquired about."
Gong Jiu always maintains a icy expression on his face, showing a smug expression.
Mo Qi was turned back by Gong Jiu's pull, and stared at Gong Jiu's face with some hidden anger and helplessness. After a long while, he was undoubtedly settled by Gong Jiu's threat.
Gong Jiu raised her head, half in joy that she had expected, and half in disappointment with no suspense, and snorted.
They walked along the bustling street. Along the way, Gong Jiu bought a lot of food out of curiosity. After eating soup and water, he was so full that he insisted on buying some candied haws and sugar cakes. When he went down, he stuffed it into Mo Qi's arms, until the things in Mo Qi's arms were piled up to the point where he couldn't see the way, and he didn't intend to stop, just to bully Mo Daochang's natural good temper.
Mo Qi was completely blocked by the pastry box in his arms, so he had no choice but to say: "...Don't buy it."
Gong Jiu looked at the black rice cake made into a rabbit shape by the handy pastry chef, frowned slightly cautiously, and said to the chef: "I can't eat that much, I will give you a share of money, and you can help me make one. A black rice bunny with a yin-yang Pisces symbol."
This is probably the first time the master heard that he asked to put a Yin-Yang Pisces amulet on a black rice rabbit: "..."
WTF?
Gong Jiu thought that the master didn't understand, so she stretched out her hand to pull Mo Qi, Fei dragged him around half a circle, and turned her back to the pastry chef: "This is it."
This little rabbit is so dark, and it's inexplicably serious for the pastry chef, it's almost like Mo Qi's frowning at this time.
Gong Jiu took the Moqi black rice rabbit cake specially prepared by the master, grabbed the tip of the rabbit's ears viciously, and said casually: "I haven't eaten these omnivores on the street before, so I couldn't help but bought more. It’s delicious, but novelty is better.”
Mo Qi: "..." He looked down at Gong Jiu, who was eating rabbits with his head down, leaving him with a smooth bun and the back of his head, and hesitated for a while, "These things will go bad after a while, and they will go bad after a while. You just want to taste it, we can come here for breakfast in the next few days, and the Hexi case should not be solved soon."
Gong Jiu's footsteps paused slightly, and she suddenly turned her head to look at Mo Qi inexplicably, making Mo Qi confused.
Mo Qi gave a questioning look in confusion: "?"
Gong Jiu didn't reply.He turned his face, walked straight forward, and didn't stop until a fur shop.
This fur shop seems to also do some clothes making. There are a lot of ready-made clothes hanging in the shop, most of them are fur coats with fur collars, and a few are ordinary cotton clothes, common clothes, etc. It seems that someone bought fabrics to find them. Made by this tailor.
Gong Jiu stepped into the fur shop: "Shop, do you have good wolf and rabbit furs? I want to make... eight fur coats." Gong Jiu glanced at Mo Qi and changed his words.
The tailor who was still making clothes in the inner room heard that the distinguished guest came, put down his work in a hurry and ran out: "Yes, yes! The fur in our shop is the best in Hexi, and the son of our shopkeeper went to cut it himself. The ones from Lie Lie are guaranteed to be soft and intact, without any damage!"
Gong Jiu looked at Mo Qi again, nodded to the tailor, walked away from Mo Qi, and said something to the tailor in a low voice.
Mo Qi was a little confused, he didn't know what secrets Gong Jiu and the tailor had to share, but for the information that Gong Jiu said, he still stood upright at the door of the store with his things in his arms, silently and restrainedly waiting for Gong Jiu to come back. Nine's conversation is over.
The tailor listened to Gong Jiu's words, nodded repeatedly, cast his eyes on Mo Qi, and said several times: "Okay, okay! Don't worry, you're satisfied!"
Mo Qi raised his head and looked at Gong Jiu questioningly: "?"
All right?
Gong Jiu didn't look at him, and he didn't speak in a low voice anymore, he said to the smiling tailor holding more than a dozen ingots of gold with a normal volume that Mo Qi could definitely hear: "My companion and I are going to Take a look in the deep mountains and hills in Hexi, I heard you say that the son of your shopkeeper is the best hunter in Hexi... Then look, is it convenient for him to guide us?"
Gong Jiu asked politely, but looking at Gong Jiu's eyes, he knew that he would never give the tailor a chance to say no.
Fortunately, the tailor didn't give Gong Jiu a chance to show his tricks. He happily put away the gold ingot: "It's convenient, of course it's convenient. Li Hu just brought back a large amount of furs, and he's resting at home now, with nothing to do." What! If the honored guest is in a hurry, I will immediately ask my apprentice to invite him. You have given me so many gold ingots, honored guest. We will definitely help you with this little favor!"
The tailor happily called his apprentice to help him, and immediately let him lead the way.Gong Jiu asked the tailor to help take the things in Mo Qi's hand to the governor's mansion, and then left with his apprentice.
Li Hu's house is a bit remote, and it can be seen that his personality should not like to be in contact with people very much.The house he lived in was a thatched house built by himself, and a long rope was tied to the stake in front of the house, probably to tie the dog.
The little apprentice muttered: "When I came here in the past, Erhuang would have rushed over and wagged his tail to beg for food. Why is he not enthusiastic at all today? What is he doing behind the house?"
Mo Qi's heart skipped a beat.
An ominous premonition floated in Mo Qi's heart.
He immediately quickened his pace and walked around to the back of the house along the dog leash.
A well-raised rhubarb dog with smooth hair fell to the ground. The rope originally used to tie the dog was wound several times around its neck, leaving deep bloodstains.
He was already strangled to death.
Mo Qi didn't have time to look any further, so he immediately raised his leg and kicked towards the back door of the thatched cottage, opened the door, and rushed in.
In the simple thatched hut, on a mattress made of gray-black wolf fur, lay a burly man with his eyes closed and his lips pale. He was wrapped in the same wolf-hair quilt as the mattress.
Immediately, Mo Qi knelt down by the bed and stretched out his hand to check his breath.
The corpses were already frozen, and there was no chance of rescue.
The little apprentice chased after him: "Hey, you, why did you kick someone else's house—ahh!!"
The little apprentice looked over Mo Qi's shoulder, saw the man's face, and screamed: "Brother Li Hu!"
He pounced forward, and his hands just pressed Li Hu's chest.
While crying, the little apprentice stretched out his hand to uncover the quilt: "What is this..."
He was so scared that his crying stopped and he hiccupped.
The chest and abdomen exposed between the loose skirts under the quilt showed a rounded curve that a man should never have.
The little apprentice was frightened. He looked at Li Hu's chest and big belly, and then at Li Hu's square face with Chinese characters. His legs softened, and he sat down on the ground, trembling: "This, this is not Li Hu! Brother Hu, this is not, what kind of monster is this!"
Gong Jiu walked into the room slowly, and covered his nose with a folding fan in distaste: "Why isn't it Li Hu? You just rushed over by calling his name, just because you found out that he is a different person, so he is not Are you Brother Li Hu?"
The little apprentice shook his head again and again: "No...it's not!"
The little apprentice sat on the ground and kicked his legs in fear, away from the dead body of the other person on the bed: "Hexi is extremely cold in winter, and the people in our fur shop often go to the hot springs and drink together. I have seen Li Hu's body many times. He is A normal Hexi guy! Absolutely not this, this kind of alien!"
The ups and downs of the pair that should have looked extremely attractive suddenly looked even more weird under the terrified words of the little apprentice.
The generals were all wearing casual clothes, and they were so drunk that they didn't wake up after being kicked aside.
Those kicking people, grabbing property, smashing dishes, shouting and stretching out their hands to grab people in the room, dozens of hands and feet stretched out from all directions, and the scene was extremely chaotic for a while.
"Who the hell is 'bitch Xixi'!" Zhan Zhao was so angry that he jumped on the spot, but these mobs were all ordinary people who had never practiced martial arts, and he couldn't use heavy hands, so he could only put down the big que. He came to catch one person with bare hands, pulled the person out of the crowd by pulling the wrist, and threw the acupuncture points aside.

If it's just a single person, it's understandable, maybe it's just extreme discrimination by individuals, but so many people Get together and form a killing team for discrimination?This is too unbelievable.
Moreover, it is more difficult to check.
However, if such a team can find one of the thread ends, they will be able to pull out all the murderers hiding in the dark at once.
Mo Qi pursed his lips: "And these corpses are not necessarily all the aliens who are dead now. Hexi's household registration has always been difficult to register because of the mixed population. Now even if there are a hundred or more people missing, we can't compare them. Check out the roster at once." Mo Qi turned to Master Mei and said, "Master sent people to search for the corpse, but is it still going on?"
Master Mei sighed a few times and shook his head: "Mobs in Hexi are frequent. After the last search, I asked them to go back and continue patrolling to maintain stability."
Zhan Zhao rolled his eyes: "It seems that Daoist Mo and I both have jobs."
Zhan Shaoxia, who loves to run outside by nature and doesn't like to squat at home, is full of joy: "I will go to inquire with the Taoist leader in a while, and then explore the deep mountains and dense forests. If I go out now, I can also have breakfast on the way What! If you go a long way, please ask me—"
Prince Taiping's son was indifferent: "I will go with Mo Daochang, you stay and take this little troublemaker."
Are you kidding?Acting with the big head, going to the deep mountains and dense forests to be alone, and eating breakfast together, what's the matter with you Zhan Zhaozhan Xiong Fei?
Zhan Shaoxia: "..."
Little Troubled Leaning in Zhan Zhao's embrace, dare not speak out.
Que Ling turned her head, gently opened her beak, bit Tang Yuandao's hand, and comforted softly: "Whew."
I'll help you vent your anger later!
Que Ling shook her plump little butt ready to go, and raised her emerald blue poisonous thorns from under her tail feathers.

In fact, Mo Qi intends to stay and take care of his little apprentice. After all, Zhan Zhao and Gong Jiu can do it regardless of whether he or she is looking for the corpse.But as a master to accompany Tang Yuandao and teach Tang Yuandao to learn martial arts, this is something only he can do.
But Prince Taiping had spontaneously tied up with him, if he didn't go, Zhan Zhao would be the only one looking for the corpse.
Mo Qi and Gong Jiu walked along the street market in Hexi. Instead of becoming indifferent because of the mob and the dead, the place became more and more lively, but there were weapons placed by the doors of every shop, obviously to deal with the mob. And the murderer, which shows that the people here are tough.Hexi’s control of the market is not too strict, and a red cloth spread along the street can be filled with a wide variety of goods, many of which have a strong Western Xia style, which is enough to see that Hexi was scrambled by the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia Dynasty. How much it has been affected over the years.
Mo Qi frowned, and shook his head to reject a rattle drum salesman with a mysterious face who insisted on selling him the "Five Stones Powder". He crossed his arms and looked at Gong Jiu, who seemed to be indifferent, but actually saw his jokes. Said: "What are you doing here?"
Could it be that those corpses are still hidden in such a busy city?
Gong Jiu raised her pretty sword eyebrows: "Of course I came here to eat breakfast and buy clothes."
"..." Mo Qi turned around and left.
Gong Jiu stretched out his hand to grab Mo Qi's Taoist robe with quick eyes: "Are you sure you want to leave? If you leave, you won't hear the news I inquired about."
Gong Jiu always maintains a icy expression on his face, showing a smug expression.
Mo Qi was turned back by Gong Jiu's pull, and stared at Gong Jiu's face with some hidden anger and helplessness. After a long while, he was undoubtedly settled by Gong Jiu's threat.
Gong Jiu raised her head, half in joy that she had expected, and half in disappointment with no suspense, and snorted.
They walked along the bustling street. Along the way, Gong Jiu bought a lot of food out of curiosity. After eating soup and water, he was so full that he insisted on buying some candied haws and sugar cakes. When he went down, he stuffed it into Mo Qi's arms, until the things in Mo Qi's arms were piled up to the point where he couldn't see the way, and he didn't intend to stop, just to bully Mo Daochang's natural good temper.
Mo Qi was completely blocked by the pastry box in his arms, so he had no choice but to say: "...Don't buy it."
Gong Jiu looked at the black rice cake made into a rabbit shape by the handy pastry chef, frowned slightly cautiously, and said to the chef: "I can't eat that much, I will give you a share of money, and you can help me make one. A black rice bunny with a yin-yang Pisces symbol."
This is probably the first time the master heard that he asked to put a Yin-Yang Pisces amulet on a black rice rabbit: "..."
WTF?
Gong Jiu thought that the master didn't understand, so she stretched out her hand to pull Mo Qi, Fei dragged him around half a circle, and turned her back to the pastry chef: "This is it."
This little rabbit is so dark, and it's inexplicably serious for the pastry chef, it's almost like Mo Qi's frowning at this time.
Gong Jiu took the Moqi black rice rabbit cake specially prepared by the master, grabbed the tip of the rabbit's ears viciously, and said casually: "I haven't eaten these omnivores on the street before, so I couldn't help but bought more. It’s delicious, but novelty is better.”
Mo Qi: "..." He looked down at Gong Jiu, who was eating rabbits with his head down, leaving him with a smooth bun and the back of his head, and hesitated for a while, "These things will go bad after a while, and they will go bad after a while. You just want to taste it, we can come here for breakfast in the next few days, and the Hexi case should not be solved soon."
Gong Jiu's footsteps paused slightly, and she suddenly turned her head to look at Mo Qi inexplicably, making Mo Qi confused.
Mo Qi gave a questioning look in confusion: "?"
Gong Jiu didn't reply.He turned his face, walked straight forward, and didn't stop until a fur shop.
This fur shop seems to also do some clothes making. There are a lot of ready-made clothes hanging in the shop, most of them are fur coats with fur collars, and a few are ordinary cotton clothes, common clothes, etc. It seems that someone bought fabrics to find them. Made by this tailor.
Gong Jiu stepped into the fur shop: "Shop, do you have good wolf and rabbit furs? I want to make... eight fur coats." Gong Jiu glanced at Mo Qi and changed his words.
The tailor who was still making clothes in the inner room heard that the distinguished guest came, put down his work in a hurry and ran out: "Yes, yes! The fur in our shop is the best in Hexi, and the son of our shopkeeper went to cut it himself. The ones from Lie Lie are guaranteed to be soft and intact, without any damage!"
Gong Jiu looked at Mo Qi again, nodded to the tailor, walked away from Mo Qi, and said something to the tailor in a low voice.
Mo Qi was a little confused, he didn't know what secrets Gong Jiu and the tailor had to share, but for the information that Gong Jiu said, he still stood upright at the door of the store with his things in his arms, silently and restrainedly waiting for Gong Jiu to come back. Nine's conversation is over.
The tailor listened to Gong Jiu's words, nodded repeatedly, cast his eyes on Mo Qi, and said several times: "Okay, okay! Don't worry, you're satisfied!"
Mo Qi raised his head and looked at Gong Jiu questioningly: "?"
All right?
Gong Jiu didn't look at him, and he didn't speak in a low voice anymore, he said to the smiling tailor holding more than a dozen ingots of gold with a normal volume that Mo Qi could definitely hear: "My companion and I are going to Take a look in the deep mountains and hills in Hexi, I heard you say that the son of your shopkeeper is the best hunter in Hexi... Then look, is it convenient for him to guide us?"
Gong Jiu asked politely, but looking at Gong Jiu's eyes, he knew that he would never give the tailor a chance to say no.
Fortunately, the tailor didn't give Gong Jiu a chance to show his tricks. He happily put away the gold ingot: "It's convenient, of course it's convenient. Li Hu just brought back a large amount of furs, and he's resting at home now, with nothing to do." What! If the honored guest is in a hurry, I will immediately ask my apprentice to invite him. You have given me so many gold ingots, honored guest. We will definitely help you with this little favor!"
The tailor happily called his apprentice to help him, and immediately let him lead the way.Gong Jiu asked the tailor to help take the things in Mo Qi's hand to the governor's mansion, and then left with his apprentice.
Li Hu's house is a bit remote, and it can be seen that his personality should not like to be in contact with people very much.The house he lived in was a thatched house built by himself, and a long rope was tied to the stake in front of the house, probably to tie the dog.
The little apprentice muttered: "When I came here in the past, Erhuang would have rushed over and wagged his tail to beg for food. Why is he not enthusiastic at all today? What is he doing behind the house?"
Mo Qi's heart skipped a beat.
An ominous premonition floated in Mo Qi's heart.
He immediately quickened his pace and walked around to the back of the house along the dog leash.
A well-raised rhubarb dog with smooth hair fell to the ground. The rope originally used to tie the dog was wound several times around its neck, leaving deep bloodstains.
He was already strangled to death.
Mo Qi didn't have time to look any further, so he immediately raised his leg and kicked towards the back door of the thatched cottage, opened the door, and rushed in.
In the simple thatched hut, on a mattress made of gray-black wolf fur, lay a burly man with his eyes closed and his lips pale. He was wrapped in the same wolf-hair quilt as the mattress.
Immediately, Mo Qi knelt down by the bed and stretched out his hand to check his breath.
The corpses were already frozen, and there was no chance of rescue.
The little apprentice chased after him: "Hey, you, why did you kick someone else's house—ahh!!"
The little apprentice looked over Mo Qi's shoulder, saw the man's face, and screamed: "Brother Li Hu!"
He pounced forward, and his hands just pressed Li Hu's chest.
While crying, the little apprentice stretched out his hand to uncover the quilt: "What is this..."
He was so scared that his crying stopped and he hiccupped.
The chest and abdomen exposed between the loose skirts under the quilt showed a rounded curve that a man should never have.
The little apprentice was frightened. He looked at Li Hu's chest and big belly, and then at Li Hu's square face with Chinese characters. His legs softened, and he sat down on the ground, trembling: "This, this is not Li Hu! Brother Hu, this is not, what kind of monster is this!"
Gong Jiu walked into the room slowly, and covered his nose with a folding fan in distaste: "Why isn't it Li Hu? You just rushed over by calling his name, just because you found out that he is a different person, so he is not Are you Brother Li Hu?"
The little apprentice shook his head again and again: "No...it's not!"
The little apprentice sat on the ground and kicked his legs in fear, away from the dead body of the other person on the bed: "Hexi is extremely cold in winter, and the people in our fur shop often go to the hot springs and drink together. I have seen Li Hu's body many times. He is A normal Hexi guy! Absolutely not this, this kind of alien!"
The ups and downs of the pair that should have looked extremely attractive suddenly looked even more weird under the terrified words of the little apprentice.
