Parade along the street and pass Jilou.

The renovation of Ji Tower has come to an end. In the morning, the police patrol out of the city. Liu Xilou and Xie Ling'er will not disturb them too much. It's just that this morning, the two girls feel that Ning Changan is particularly outstanding. Originally, Ning Changan is both strong and soft.

People seem to have a more radiant temperament now.

This kind of temperament is more reassuring, gives people a sense of dependence and solidity, and seems to be a little more noble.

The two girls were surprised!

I haven’t seen you for a few days, Brother Ning has changed a lot.

Liu Xilou is good at observing words and emotions, and Xie Linger has a keen sense.

There was more purple energy in Ning Changan's body, and the three pure qi became more solid and thicker. The two girls were not Yan Xingyun, so they could not feel the qi and spiritual power, but the precipitation of temperament caused by these inner changes was captured.

Brother Ning is so likeable!

While patrolling along the street, Lu Qian chattered about how much he missed Ning Changan during the few days he was away, and how many literati in the capital came to Liu Xilou in the name of Xie Ling'er.

The final follow-up effect of the dryad's appearance in Ji Lou is that Ji Lou's reputation is even higher, and the madam is beaming with joy. She waits for Ji Lou to reopen and earn a lot of gold and silver.

While patrolling along the river bank from the dock, Lu Qian gave twenty taels of silver ingots to Ning Changan.

Looking at Ning Changan's questioning look, Lu Qian said: "Ji Lou's Madam gave it to me. At any rate, you kept Ji Lou safe and extorted a hundred taels of silver from Wen Chaoxi. The Madam was pragmatic and found out Wen Chaoxi's identity and was worried about being implicated.

A few days ago, some scholars from the capital came to Chentang County and spread the news that Prince Wen had forbidden Wen to go out of the capital day and night. The madam, who knew the news, just came to his senses and took a share of the money."

Twenty taels is enough to buy a sizable house in Chentang County.

Lu Qian explained so thoroughly that Ning Changan did not refuse.

I took some silver.

For ordinary martial arts cultivators, training is a resource-intensive matter, including secret manuals, elixirs, and hiring famous teachers. There is a plug-in called Red Moon Market in Ning Chang'an, which saves worry. But the old Taoist loves tea, Meng Po likes cakes, and blacksmithing is a hobby.

Wine, once again entering the Red Moon Market has troubled many people, and a lot of money will be spent on the big purchases.

The book club made a fortune from Chen Yuhuo, but his sister-in-law didn’t give him any money and money was tight!

The air on the river bank is fresh and the cool breeze is refreshing.

"Chang'an, if you go to the capital one day, don't forget the Yamen."

Ning Changan turned to look at Lu Qian.

Li Dianli spoke like this, and now Lu Qian does the same.

"It depends on what I do. If I can get the handwritten letter from Jingzhao Mansion, Yang Xiaowei of the Mirror Department will come to you again and again. You won't be able to stay in Chentang County for long."

"Share the blessings together," Ning Changan said with a smile.

Lu Qian grinned: "Just think about it. I am a few pounds and a few taels. I know very well that Chentang County is not big and it is close to the capital. There are no monsters or bandits. It is all trivial matters. Although it is complicated

But it’s safe. The capital is doing things at the feet of the emperor. It’s a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. If someone doesn’t pay attention, someone will eat a bone and you won’t know where to vomit it. It can’t be like living like a fool in Chentang County. I have no backing and no ability, so I won’t go.

How can I feel comfortable in Chentang County if I go and embarrass you and cause trouble?"

Ning Changan looked at Lu Qian, who was getting more and more serious as he spoke, and sighed: "This is the real understanding person! No, it's rare for someone to be confused."

His eyes became sharp after looking at Lu Qian.

The two of them approached the mouth of the river at this time. Large tracts of reeds were distributed on both sides of the river bank. In the afternoon, when the river swelled, the waves washed the reeds and swayed in the wind, creating a beautiful scene.

Ning Changan saw an unusual scene among the reeds washed by the inverted river water.

Corpse!

And there’s more than one!

Following Ning Changan's gaze, Lu Qian turned his head and his body stiffened.

There's a big case!

A ray of setting sun spreads over the water, half of the river is rustling and half of the river is red.

The sunset hung dimly over the river.

Ning Changan and Lu Qian both had fine cold sweat seeping down their faces.

More than ten bodies were discovered in an area of ​​several tens of feet.

Looking at the body of a man washed up by the waves, Lu Qian squatted down with a solemn expression: "Chang'an, something big has happened."

Ning Changan also squatted down.

The man was less than thirty years old, dressed in gray, with a strong body and a small tear in his throat.

This is a common feature of all corpses.

The man was still holding the fired military crossbow tightly in his hand.

"Military crossbow, it means that the deceased is a member of the military!"

Lu Qian's voice was trembling when he spoke.

Chentang County Yamen has been working as a police officer for many years, and the things he usually encounters are trivial matters such as marital discord and lost property. However, what is now in sight are more than a dozen corpses, and they will definitely be swept away by the river.

of more.

This is a major case involving dozens of people in Chentang County, involving the military.

"Chang'an, what do you think?" The knuckles of Lu Qian's right hand holding the steel knife turned white.

"Protect the scene, expand the search area, see if anyone is alive, and send someone to the Yamen to deliver the message."

"What are you still doing? Report the news to your Excellency!" Lu Qian shouted as he looked at the two helpless police officers behind him.

The two detectives flew away.

There were fishing boats on the river, Lu Qianzheng's boat, and the two of them entered the sea of ​​flowers.

The reed marsh is not airtight. There are intertwined waterways created by fishing boats. Some fishermen will follow the waterways into the depths of the reed marsh to catch waterfowl and wild ducks.

When the search surface was opened, more corpses appeared, including men and women. There were more dead male corpses holding military crossbows.

Lu Qian's calves were trembling, and he could already make a guess.

The official ship must have been intercepted.

Moreover, the status of the officials on the ship is extraordinary.

Ning Changan paid more attention to the wounds.

They all have small cuts in their throats.

Expert Ning Changan could tell it was a sword!

The murderer is definitely a master of swordsmanship who has reached the pinnacle of cultivation.

And the speed of the sword is extremely fast. One sword is full of blood!

As the night gradually fell, some shocking news was learned from the mouths of fishermen on the river bank.

At midnight the night before, the Luojiang River stopped flowing, and a curtain of water rose up to a height of tens of feet!

"Could it be that Yan Xingyun caused the murder? No, tree demons, ancestors and those monsters will suck people's energy, leaving their corpses skinny and bones!" Ning Changan first suspected the Blood River Che, and then ruled it out.

Chentang County;

In the brightly lit compound, County Magistrate Liang Zhaoxiang was lying comfortably on a wicker chair. A peeled grape was put into his mouth by his concubine. He made a squeaking sound that chilled his heart. Just two words, "Comfortable!"

Squinting his eyes, Liang Zhaoxiang recalled all the big and small things that had happened in Chentang County in the past few days. Naturally, what he was thinking about was Ning Changan's assistance to the Mirror Division in handling the case.

The Mirror Division slandered Ning Changan.

Ning Changan is a person who transforms into a dragon when encountering a storm, so he will not misjudge him. Ning Changan is also a person who cares about friendship. When Ning Changan enters the capital, he will live an easy life.

If Ning Chang'an has a relationship with Jingzhao Mansion and moves around, as long as nothing major happens in Chentang County, relying on the performance of the Shilipo and Yanziping case yamen, it is possible for him to be promoted.

Then Liang Zhaoxiang thought about whether the salary for Ning Changan was insufficient!

A quick knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

The handyman opened the door and the policeman rushed in.

Liang Zhaoxiang frowned, instinctively feeling that something had happened again.

Recently, I have been knocked on the door a lot in the middle of the night.

The police officer rushed in and said, "Sir, something serious has happened. Detective Ning and the Lutou patrol found more than ten corpses in Jiangdao."

With a bang, the porcelain plate fell to the ground and shattered, and the grapes rolled all over the floor. Like big and small beads falling on a jade plate!
Chapter completed!
