At the fourth day of the morning, when the updater knocked on the gang, something suddenly flashed before his eyes, which scared him so much that his hair stood up all over his body, and he kept saying "Don't be surprised" in his mouth, "Amitabha Buddha

” and other words.

And the thing that flashed by was not the mountain spirits and ghosts he imagined, but a few people wearing night clothes. They flexibly climbed up the courtyard wall of the inn, jumped down like a cat, and bent

When walking with your waist and your head constantly swings left and right, you should be distinguishing the direction.

According to the adults, the man's room should be in the third room on the left side of the yard. After they found the room, they found that the candle inside had been extinguished, and a faint but steady breathing sound came from inside, and there was still a room in the room.

There are many medicinal smells. If it weren't for the sick person to stay here, why would there be medicinal smells? It seems that this is the person's room.

With the moonlight, you can see the figure lying on the bed. Without ordering, the sharp blade had already stabbed the chest of the person on the bed. Whether it was analyzed from the angle or strength of the knife, it showed that the person who was killed with one blow.

Determination.

However, the feeling of the knife piercing the flesh at this moment seemed so strange, as if... it was inserted into cotton.

The man in black in the head was startled and before he could react much, his body spontaneously ran towards the door. The others also realized something and followed him quickly.

The originally dark and quiet courtyard seemed to have suddenly received some signal, and the lights were bright in a few breaths. The killers who were originally wearing night clothes wandering in the darkness suddenly had nowhere to hide and could only stand in the middle of the courtyard.

, looking at the majestic eyes in the crowd.

"Sure enough, I've been waiting for a long time." Mu Yuan Xiu Dao. He had just made a bet with Chu Ci, betting that it was almost dawn and these people would not come. But Chu Ci said, the more dawn it was, the more dawn it was, the more dawn it was.

, the more likely these people will come. Before dawn, people's defense will be minimized. At this time, the possibility of taking action is the highest. Moreover, the maid has been arrested and has not yet been investigated.

In the case of clear and weak, those with the surname Lin should choose to start first.

Before he could argue with Chu Ci, he heard a cry of insects, indicating that the prey had entered the net and he had to admit defeat.

"Do you know we're coming?" The man in black stared at his eyes, and he should have an incredible expression under his mask. "It was Hongyu who betrayed us!" They clearly agreed that if they wanted to do something, they would throw a cup as a sign.

The spies came to report it just now that they acted, and it turned out that they had fallen into the trick of that bitch!

Chu Ci sneered, why are those men so envisioned? He is obviously too stupid, but he has to push everything into conspiracy theory. With this kind of mind, he is not as good as the one he calls "Hongyu".

Where is the woman.

"Don't bother how you were discovered, you should think about whether you should surrender or resist stubbornly." Mu Yuanxiu stayed up all night and lost his bet just now. He was in a bad mood at this time.

The men in black were obviously not so obedient, so they rushed up with a knife. Mu Yuanxiu was not polite either. He waved his hand and asked his subordinates to rush up. After a fight, they captured them all at the cost of two minor injuries.

It's right.

In order to prevent these people from committing suicide, Mu Yuanxiu asked someone to remove their chins, tie them up and interrogate them, and threw them into the woodshed together, waiting to confront the two of them tomorrow morning.

Chu Ci did not interrogate him together. After catching the person, he went back to the room. Mu Yuanxiu thought he was going to rest at first, but when he passed by his door, he found that his door was half-closed and sat at the table under the candlelight.

It seemed like he was writing something. When he approached, he found it was an account book.

"Nephew!" Mu Yuanxiu suddenly spoke with a little surprise in his tone, "Did Housekeeper Zhao really hide a book of accounts?" With this thing, he still has no worries about being charged?

However, he immediately reacted again. If there was such a thing, why should they pretend to be a ghost? I was afraid that they would have brought people to the door to catch them. He walked into the room, flipped through a few pages with his hand, and found that the back of the account book was indeed blank.

.

"Forgery of evidence is a serious crime. Nephew, this is the best solution." Mu Yuanxiu guessed Chu Ci's idea and persuaded him earnestly. As the young minister of Dali Temple, he naturally would not allow anyone to know the law and break the law.

.

Chu Ci stopped writing and smiled sly: "Uncle Mu, is my nephew writing his own account book? Why are you doing evidence?"

After hearing this, Mu Yuanxiu frowned and picked up the account book from the table. He found that there were indeed some irrelevant things on it. When he looked forward, it was the same.

But... from any aspect of this account book, it looks particularly similar to the one described by the Japanese spy Zhao Kuan, especially the handwriting inside, which is different from Chu Ci's past, and looks familiar.

"I don't know that my nephew has such skills..." Mu Yuanxiu sighed, "Do you want to use this to make that old man jump over the wall?" The handwriting clearly imitated Zhao Kuan's.

"Uncle Mu is wise, he rushed over in a hurry during the day. Isn't he just afraid that Butler Zhao will hide other evidence? Since he wants it, I will give it to him." Chu Ci lowered his face and recalled Lin Futong's contempt for law and logic.

If this person is not eliminated, Nanmin Province will not be able to calm down for a day. He has a premonition that if he cannot convict him this time, when the imperial envoy leaves, the Lin person will definitely start to deal with him.

Yu Li, he must drag the Lin surnamed into the water this time.

Mu Yuanxiu frowned, and wanted to say something, but felt that there was no way to start. After all, he was not the kind of pedantic person. After a moment of silence, he put down his account book and patted Chu Ci on the shoulder, and then left.

go out.

Chu Ci relaxed his heart and knew that he did not object, so he calmed down and continued to fill in the blank account book...

He could calm down at this moment, but there were people in the governor's yamen who couldn't sit still.

"Are you back?" Lin Futong stood up with his eyes holding onto the table, his hands that were holding on to the table were also faintly white.

Qi Lu's face was dark, he carefully covered the door and shook his head.

"Waste! They are all a bunch of waste! It takes so long to deal with a half-dead person!" Lin Futong cursed with a ferocious face.

"Sir..." Qi Lu spoke with a careful consideration, "I feel that they may... be caught."

Lin Fu was shocked, "Impossible! How did they know... it was yours to inform him!" He glared at Qi Luzhi with bloodshot eyes, and he had not been asleep for a night and was worried during this period, which made him lose weight.

He had a lot of it, and his face was pale and powerless. This face and this expression made him look as terrifying as Shura climbing up from the underworld.

Qi Lu trembled all over and had a terrible thought in his heart. Governor Lin was probably really finished. He had only seen such an expression in the trapped beast in the cage. If he hadn't been desperate, how could it have become like this? Could it be this?

There is something he doesn't know about?

Seeing that Qi Lu was silent, Lin Futong was even more sure that this thing that was not enough to make a mistake would be a mistake, and he would send someone to do something!

Wait... Lin Futong suddenly calmed down and looked at Qi Luzhi with a strange look.

"Mr. Qi, we have worked together for many years. My surname is Lin, treats you very well." He sat down slowly, reached out to take the cold tea and took a sip.

Qi Lu didn't understand why he suddenly calmed down, but the sense of crisis in his heart did not diminish at all.

"Adult treats his subordinates like a new parent. It is difficult to repay his kindness if he dies thousands of times."

Lin Futong smiled with satisfaction: "I remember when I first came, you were forced by Du Yu, the old man in the Tixue Department. If you hadn't taken advantage of the power of the Tixue Department, you would have been able to show off in the Tixue Department for so many years.

What is your majesty? Whether it is about talent or ability, you are not as good as him, but only one thing you are better than him is that you have a wink and have a sense of your work."

Qi Lu smiled awkwardly, not understanding why Lin Futong suddenly exposed the matter so bluntly and did not give him any face. Little did he know that in Lin Futong's view, dead people do not need face.

"You don't have to be upset. For officials, these two points are crucial. Don't look at the fact that I am so majestic in front of you, in front of your boss, why am I just as timid as you?"

Lin Futong slowly stood up, not knowing if his body was numb when he sat down, and he was a little staggering when he walked out from behind the table.

Qi Lu immediately took a few steps forward and helped him. Before he could say "Be careful, sir." Before he could say "Shi" he heard a "chi" sound, which was the sound of the blade entering his stomach.

He lowered his head and looked at the bright white dagger that was inserted into his chest in disbelief. This was sent by the people below a while ago. It is said that the iron was cut like mud, so he presented it to Lord Lin for self-defense, but he never expected it.

This dagger would actually return to him in this way.

Lin Futong looked at Qi Luzhi who was lying on the ground with his eyes staring, and slowly shook his head: "Don't blame me, this is all your life. If you don't die today, I will die tomorrow."

After saying that, he pulled out the dagger and looked at Qi Lu and took his last breath. Suddenly, he took the dagger and slashed hard on his arm, shouting: "Come here! Qi Lu is going to assassinate this official

!”

When the yamen rushed in from outside, they could only see Lin Futong, who was covered with bloody arms, and Qi Luzhi, who was lying in a pool of blood with a knife in his chest.

...

Chu Ci was lying on the bed and just closed his eyes when he heard the sound of the door being slapped.

"A Ci, get up, something big happened!"

It was Mu Yuanxiu who slapped the door. Chu Ci quickly got out of bed, pulled a piece of clothing and put it on his body to open the door. Then he saw Mu Yuanxiu standing outside the door with a complicated face, and his expression was even a little heavy.

"Is Butler Zhao dead?" Chu Ci guessed.

Mu Yuanxiu shook his head: "Someone is indeed dead. However, it's not that Butler Zhao."

Before Chu Ci could make a guess, Mu Yuanxiu immediately said, "It's Lord Qi who is dead."

"Which Lord Qi?" Chu Ci hadn't been asleep for almost a night, and his mind was still a little unclear at this moment. At first, he heard the name of Lord Qi, but he still couldn't react.

Mu Yuanxiu sighed heavily: "Who else is Master Qi? Isn't it your immediate boss? Are you learning Qilu straight?"

Chu Ci looked shocked: "Mr. Qi is dead?! He is not too old, how could he die suddenly?"

Mu Yuanxiu sneered: "He didn't die suddenly! It is said that when it was almost dawn, he suddenly broke into the yamen and assassinated Governor Lin. After his deeds were exposed, he committed suicide in the Governor's yamen. This incident has spread throughout the mansion now.

Now.”

Chu Ci sneered and denied directly: "How is it possible? They are birds of a feather, how could Lord Qi suddenly assassinate Lord Lin? He committed suicide after attempted assassination. People like him would not act so impulsively."

"There is obviously an inside story here, and it is urgent to go to the governor's office to take a look first." Mu Yuan practiced.
