wedge(1/2)

The autumn is cold and the setting sun is shining, the afterglow is like fog, and the sky and the earth are filled with a smoky color.

The mottled Weiling Mansion walls are bathed in the afterglow of the sunset. The ancient Weiling City exudes a solemn atmosphere. As one of the four famous cities today, Weiling City has a history of more than 300 years and is built on the bank of Huijiang River. It is also supported by Qiyun Mountain. It has beautiful mountains and rivers and pleasant climate. It is also a good place for many retired court officials to choose to spend their old age in peace.

At dusk, the gate of Weiling City was not closed yet, and people entering and leaving the gate were still in constant force. The city gate captain was sitting on a small chair under the city wall at this time, while using his hands to pick a few small acne on his neck. On the other hand, he was looking at the setting sun that was about to fall in the sky. After another half an hour, he had to close the gate. After changing shifts, he went to Yanluofang to have a few glasses of flower wine and talked about his good girl.

Most of the guards guarding the gate were mentally sleepy and unspirited, but one of them was a soldier. Zi still checked the vehicles and goods entering and leaving the city gate very carefully. People who are familiar with this situation know that such a responsible soldier. Zi is naturally the new recruit who has just been transferred, and the veteran will not have such leisure.

A burst of rapid horse hooves came from the official road outside the city, rumbling so loudly that it was extremely shocking. The gatekeeper immediately frowned and looked at the horse hooves. He saw dust flying on the official road, and several tall horses were running towards this side like wind, thunder and lightning, with great momentum.

The gatekeeper immediately got up, picked up the sword at his hand, and his face looked slightly angry, but as the horse gradually approached the city gate, the gatekeeper actually showed a look of surprise on his face.

There were only six people coming to ride, but their momentum was even stronger than the hundreds of riders. The six riders were all wearing purple cloaks and square purple hats on their heads. The cloaks fluttered in the wind, making a sound, and were extremely majestic.

People inside and outside the city gate also saw the riders flying towards them and dodged one after another. However, the more than a dozen sleepy soldiers were shocked at this time and they all held the hilts tightly.

The gatekeeper raised his hand and signaled everyone not to act rashly. However, the recruit was brave enough to understand the rules and shouted loudly: "Stop the horse!"

The six cavalry had already arrived at the city gate in the blink of an eye, and had no preparation to stop. They didn't even care that the people were still blocking people at the city gate. However, they heard someone among the six cavalry shouting coldly: "Everyone can dodge!"

Seeing the horses constantly, everyone dodged one after another. Some soldiers were already scolding and shouting: "Stop and be tested quickly. Do you dare to break through the city gate? Do you want to rebel?"

But the six riders passed by like a wind and rushed straight into the city gate. The new recruit egg. Zi pulled out his knife and slashed at the last rider. Who knew that the man's reaction was much faster than him. As soon as the recruit's big knife was slashed, the man's horse whip was pulled out like a poisonous snake, and it hit the new recruit's shoulder hard. Hearing the "crack" sound, the new recruit egg. Zi screamed, and his shoulder blade was actually interrupted by the whip. The rider's eyes were filled with a cold light like a blade. Amid the rumbling horse hooves, he had already collected the whip and left with his companions.

The recruit's big sword had already landed on the ground, covering his shoulders with his left hand, his face full of pain. In the horror of the other soldiers, a soldier had already shouted: "Brothers, this is a thief, let's chase him!"

"Stop it all!" The city gate captain rushed forward, his face full of anger, but his eyes were filled with horror. He actually kicked the recruit in front of him, hitting the recruit's heart. The recruit "Oh" screamed again and was kicked to the ground.

The people entering and leaving the city gate were shocked. The scene that just happened was really surprising, but people couldn't understand why the group of knights rushed into the city without scrupulously. The guards of the gate did not chase after them, but why did they still take action?

The gatekeeper kicked the recruit again like crazy and scolded sternly: "Who told you to do it? Do you want to die? Do you want to kill everyone? Just have a head in your mother, and you want to go crazy here?"

Seeing this, the soldiers next to him looked at each other. However, an older soldier hurriedly went up to hold him and advised: "Person Liang, he has just come here and is not sensible. Don't bother with him... If you really beat him to death, it's not easy to explain to the superiors!"

The captain Liang was still angry and said angrily: "Three, do you know that we might be implicated by this bastard, and we might even move our heads!"

The third brother frowned and said, "Where does this start?"

"Last brother, you are also a veteran. You really have no eyesight." Captain Liang smiled bitterly and said, "Can you not tell the origin of those people just now? How can people like us offend them? I don't know how they die at that time."

The third brother said carefully: "I also think it's a big deal, but... they walked too fast and couldn't see clearly what it was!"

"Didn't you see the Liuyun Knife on their waists?" Captain Liang clenched his fists and said, "Do you see what color of the boots of the leader?"

"Liuyun Knife?" The third brother's face changed drastically, and his eyes also showed horror: "Person Liang, are they... they are... yes!" His voice trembled, and he couldn't speak for a moment.

Captain Liang sighed, "Who said no, there are other people in the world who dare to wear Liuyun knife? The leader is the red boots. You should know what it is, right? As long as he raises a finger, we all have to move...!" Pointing to the recruit who was moaning in pain on the ground, he said, "I really want to die at that time, and the first one will have to cut this bastard alive!"

...

...

Shunping Avenue is an important avenue in Weiling City. Following this avenue to the end, it is the most impressive mansion in Weiling City. People in the city call it "Fangyuan".

The owner of Fangyuan is the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. This old man Fang is a legendary life and has made countless contributions to the rise of the Qin Empire. After resigning in his later years, he came to Weiling City in the south to live a peaceful life of growing flowers and grass. His mansion was personally issued by His Majesty the Emperor and made a mansion for two years to build, in order to commend Mr. Fang's contribution to the Qin Empire. Moreover, the four words "Fang Jingyang" on the door of Fangyuan were also written by His Majesty the Emperor and were engraved.

Such a person is naturally an amazing person, even the Governor of Weiling Mansion, who had received the favor of this old minister back then, so in this city, Old Master Fang is equivalent to the Supreme Emperor, and every word he said is equivalent to an imperial edict in Weiling City.

But starting from four days ago, the entire square garden was closed with four gates, and there were actually elite troops from the garrison stations being transferred around the mansion, and no idle people could get close to the mansion.

...

After entering the city, six riders wearing purple cloaks still crossed the streets and alleys in the city like lightning. When passing a teahouse, a head was exposed in front of the teahouse. When the six riders rushed past, they looked out and looked at the shopkeepers of the teahouse passing by. Then they retracted.

The teahouse is not big, but there are many guests inside, all whispering. Many people saw the Six Riders passing outside the door, and then someone shook his head and sighed: "We are afraid that something big is going to happen in Weiling Mansion."

The shopkeeper walked to a small table and sat down. There were three scholars in long gowns sitting on the table. One of them had already lowered his voice: "I just heard from someone in the previous episode that General Feng and his thirteen Taibao were all killed by the people of Xiliang. This matter has not yet faded. This incident happened again in our Weiling Mansion. It seems that this year is not a good year."

The teahouse shopkeeper whispered: "Mr. Sun, do you really think something big happened in Fangyuan?"

"It's obvious." Mr. Sun stroked his beard and said, "You don't even look at it. This time, elite soldiers were transferred from the garrison. If it was a normal thing, how could such a formation be used?"

A middle-aged man in gray clothes next to him also lowered his voice: "Do you see the knights who just passed by? These eagles and dogs have all come to Weiling Mansion. Do you think things are still small?"

"It's not that Fang Yuan had some murder?" Another person whispered.

Mr. Sun smiled faintly and said, "Even if it is a murder case, it is a great murder case. You haven't seen each other. These days, the Governor and Commander Yuan have been staying in Fangyuan all day long. The relationship between the two has always been in a bad mood. They rarely get together, but this time they join forces... Hehe, in a few days, a shocking event may be spread."

These people were whispering. On another table not far away, there was only one tea guest sitting, dressed in gray cloth. Even drinking tea in the teahouse, she was wearing a straw hat.

Hearing the conversation between the people next to him, the man smiled strangely, and did not sit much. He threw a few copper coins on the table, picked up a black package beside him, and leisurely left the teahouse.

...

...

Six horses arrived at the front of Fangyuan's main gate. The soldiers guarding the door immediately held the knife tightly. Six horses held the horse, and the leader raised their heads and looked at the big plaque with the words "Fang Jingyangxin" written on it. With a light wave, a knight urged the horse to take a few steps forward and took out a black bronze medal from his arms. The words "Divine Clothes" were simply written on it.

"Sir, wait!" When the guard saw the bronze medal, he immediately changed his color and hurriedly saluted. Then he quickly turned around to report.

The six knights were wearing scimitars around their waists, but there were clouds engraved on the scabbards. Except for the leader wearing red boots, the other five were wearing blue boots.

The leader is only about thirty years old, with fair skin, very light eyebrows, very thin lips, and no expression on his face, but his eyes have a hint of coldness, but they are as cold and sharp as a sharp sword.

The guard called open the door and muttered to the people inside. Then the people inside quickly went to report. Not long after, a group of people heard footsteps coming out of the mansion. One of them was in official uniforms, nearly fifty years old, beside him was a stout man dressed in a military general, wearing black armor. The two of them quickly came forward, and the person who was in front of him had already bowed, "Dare you ask, "Is it a divine uniform guard Yue Qianhu?"

The leader turned over and got off the horse and bowed, "It's Yue Lengqiu!" He didn't say much and asked directly: "Governor Song, where is the old minister now?"

The one in the official uniform was Song Yuan, the governor of Weiling Prefecture. The one next to him was naturally Yuan Buyi, the commander of the military commander of Weiling Prefecture.

Song Yuan and Yuan Buyi both looked very serious and immediately said: "Yue Qianhu, please follow me!"

Song Yuan and Yuan and Yuan Buyi were both senior local officials. When it comes to official positions, they were only higher than Yue Lengqiu, but at this time they seemed very respectful to Yue Lengqiu.

Yue Lengqiu's five men dismounted at the same time, and they all pressed the Liuyun Knife's scabbard and followed behind.

After entering Fangyuan, Song Yuan said: "After the incident, we blocked Fangyuan as soon as possible. None of them left, and now they are under control."

Yue Lengqiu said lightly: "The Master originally wanted the old minister to spend his old age here, but this time he was harmed by someone under your nose... The Master was very angry. If the murderer could not be found, the future of the two adults is of concern, but my Yue Lengqiu's head would not be able to be saved!"

Song Yuan and Yuan Buyi both changed color suddenly. They looked at each other, their eyes full of horror, and cold sweat suddenly appeared on their foreheads.

Shuttled through the Fangyuan, you soon arrived in an elegant small courtyard and walked outside an exquisite house. Song Yuan whispered: "The body of the old Shangshu is placed inside. After learning that Yue Qianhu was coming to investigate the matter, people have been sent to guard it here, and no one has ever been there." After a pause, he added: "This is also the scene of the murder of the old Shangshu, it is... the yard where the old Shangshu's sixth concubine Liu lived!"

Yue Lengqiu waved his hand, and the five subordinates following him immediately dispersed and began to look for and touch them in every corner of the yard.

Yue Lengqiu stepped forward and pushed open the door. After looking at it, everything in the main hall inside the room was in order, and nothing unusual. He glanced at Song Yuan and asked, "Have the decorations inside never moved?"

"No!" Yuan Buyi replied, "After the old Shangshu was killed, he immediately reported to the Governor's Office. Lord Song also made a quick decision to send me to investigate. I was sure that the furnishings in the house did not move at all!"

Yue Lengqiu nodded slightly and walked into the inner room on the side. The room was as quiet as death, but the furnishings inside were very luxurious. The most conspicuous one was the pink tent. There was a strong fragrance floating in the room, but it also contained a bloody smell that had not been dissipated.

Yue Lengqiu walked to the edge of the brocade bed and saw the body of Mr. Fang placed on the bed. He obviously changed into a decent brocade dress after his death. His face turned slightly blue and his muscles were already stiff.

Yue Lengqiu turned his head to look at Yuan Buyi and said lightly: "Commander Yuan, was the old Shangshu killed on this bed?"

Yuan Buyi immediately said, "No!" He pointed to a table in the room and said, "When we arrived, the body of the old Shangshu fell under the table!"

Yue Lengqiu said calmly: "But you said just now that there was no movement in this room!"

Yuan Buyi was stunned, then his eyes showed a hint of displeasure and said, "I just put the body of the old Shangshu from the ground to the bed, and no other place was passive. Is Yue Qianhu too rigid?"

Yue Lengqiu said expressionlessly: "Commander Yuan is indeed a leader of the army and does not know how to investigate the murder case... Lord Song seems to be entrusted to him!"

Yuan Buyi suddenly changed color and showed an angry expression. Song Yuan also frowned slightly. Yue Lengqiu said coldly without waiting for them to speak: "The posture, injuries and even expressions of the old Shangshu were killed may be clues, but all this has been destroyed by you!" Asked: "When the old Shangshu was killed, who was Liu at the scene?"

Yuan Busi knew that this matter was of great importance. Although he was very dissatisfied with Yue Lengqiu's attitude, he still said patiently: "The old minister rested in her room that night, so she was naturally at the scene!"

"She isn't dead?"

"No!"

"Can the clues be found from her?" Yue Lengqiu asked very quickly.

Yuan Buyi frowned and said, "Interrogation? Mrs. Six is ​​still in shock. After all, she is the widow of the old Shangshu. How can we interrogate!"

Yue Lengqiu smiled coldly and said to Song Yuan directly: "Mr. Song, please summon everyone in Fangyuan to the main hall. Commander Yuan will not be able to interrogate. Yue will come for interrogation!" After that, he turned around and left the house.

Yuan Buyi glanced at Yue Lengqiu fiercely, but Song Yuan sighed and went out with him.

...

...

Fangyuan was built by His Majesty the Emperor's decree. The project is huge and the area covers a wide area. Its main hall is naturally extraordinary. From top to bottom, everyone in the main hall was standing in the main hall without any crowding. The old Shangshu's family obviously had not recovered from the sadness. Each face was sad, and inside the main hall, there was a miserable miserable miserable.

There was a silence in the main hall. Yue Lengqiu sat on a chair, holding a tea cup in his hand, and drinking tea leisurely. Behind him were the five iceberg-like divine guards, each with expressionless faces and sharp eyes. Ordinary people dared not touch their cold gazes.

Yue Lengqiu didn't say a word from beginning to end, while Fangyuan was silent, and no one dared to make a sound. These people were born in the Ministry of Revenue's House, and most of them knew about the affairs of the officialdom and knew the identities of Yue Lengqiu and others. In front of the Shenyiwei, anyone would feel that they were approaching death.

Yue Lengqiu seemed to be tasting tea leisurely, but his pair of sharp eyes as sharp as eagles swept through the crowd from time to time. It was unknown how long it took Yue Lengqiu to say lightly: "Liu stays, others retreat first!"

Everyone present finally breathed a sigh of relief and left one after another. When they saw Yue Lengqiu pointing at one of the men, "Save him behind!"

Immediately, a divine uniform guard quickly stepped forward, reached out and grabbed the man's arm, then threw it in hard. Another divine uniform guard came forward and quickly closed the door of the main hall. In an instant, only Yue Lengqiu and his six people, Liu and the man were left in the spacious main hall. When the door was closed, the entire hall suddenly became dark.

The man trembled like a sieve, knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Sir, the young... the young are not guilty..." He was dressed in blue, but he was only eighteen or nineteen years old, with a pretty face. When he looked at the clothes, he knew that he was a servant in Fangyuan.

However, Liu was a 23 or 24-year-old young woman with a round and plump figure, beautiful and charming appearance. Although her face was a little pale, she looked even more charming.

Seeing the servant begging around him constantly, the young woman's plump body began to tremble slightly, and she insisted on calming herself, but her watery eyes could not hide her fear.

Yue Lengqiu held the teacup in his left hand, and twisted the tea cover with his right hand gently brushed the tea noodles, and said lightly: "Tell me, what happened that night? I don't waste much time on you. Although you have not experienced the punishment of my God-in-law, you should have heard of it... The Sixth Lady has a delicate body, a beautiful and beautiful body, and her skin is so beautiful that I don't want to see such a beautiful body being blasphemed at the slightest!"

Although Liu's eyes were full of horror, he pretended to be calm and said, "I...I don't understand what you mean. That night, an assassin suddenly appeared. I...I fainted at that time. When I woke up, Master..." When he said this, his eyes turned red and he choked up.
