The original way we came has become irreversible due to the murder.

Lu Wuming and his young masters found another way back to Xiao Mansion.

General Xiao took Nie Chen out of the house. There must be something going on in the army.

At this moment, Meng Fang is already on his way to a remote county.

Su Qingtian yawned as soon as she stepped into the front yard, coaxed Xiao Nan to leave, and took Xiao Jiu back to her small courtyard.

She climbed onto the bed without taking off her shoes and socks, hugged the tiger head pillow and fell asleep.

There was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and the lotus lifted up the aqua spring curtain. I happened to see Xiaojiu gently taking off Su Qingtian's shoes and covering her quilt.

"Has the young lady fallen asleep?"

Hehua lowered her voice and asked, with a hint of anxiety in her tone.

"Just slept."

After tucking in the quilt, Xiaojiu slowly lowered the gauze curtain.

Xiaojiu said softly: "Sister Hehua, is there something urgent that you need to see the master for?"

"Master Liu, the magistrate of Fengcheng County, is here."

Hehua looked at her little master who was sleeping soundly, her face was troubled, but her voice became softer unconsciously.

"When he entered the house, he said he wanted to find a young lady, but he didn't say anything specific."

How can a county magistrate go to someone else's house and see the young lady directly, let alone a little girl in her late teens.

Xiaojiu reacted immediately.

When Magistrate Liu came to see his young master, he must be concerned about the mysterious death of the old fortune teller.

They did go to the fortune-telling stall, and many people around saw it.

I just didn't expect that Magistrate Liu would solve the case so quickly and find the Xiao Mansion so quickly for questioning.

"Master is tired, let her sleep a little longer."

Xiaojiu took Hehua to the door and whispered, "I'll go see Mr. Liu first."

He Hua paused at his feet and looked at the young man in surprise.

How could this guard, who had only been in office for less than a day and was still a young man, meet guests on his master's behalf?

but now……

Turning his head to look at Su Qingtian sleeping soundly in the back room, he saw that the masters were all gone, and indeed there was no one to receive Magistrate Liu.

You can't let the dignified master wait in the front hall for the young master to get enough sleep before seeing him again.

"Okay, you can't talk nonsense."

After thinking for a long time, Hehua took Xiaojiu to the front hall.

Liu Zifeng, who hurriedly arrived at Xiao Mansion, was too anxious to sit down even in the front hall, and he didn't even use a sip of the tea on the table.

I kept wandering in front of the hall door, thinking that I would ask the little girl if I saw her later.

A human head fell abruptly in a crowded market.

The body was lying in front of the guests, with fresh blood scattered on the floor.

To cause a murder like this, the criminal must have extremely fast knife skills and strong strength.

At the same time, you must be no more than one foot away from the victim, otherwise the head will never be able to fly up and fall down so neatly.

The officials questioned many people at the scene, but no one saw anyone approaching the deceased.

Finally, a scholar who came to tell fortunes was so frightened that he became confused, a little crazy, and talked nonsense.

Captain Nie led a search around the place.

There are no suspicious clues at the crime scene, let alone information about the person who may have committed the crime.

The old fortune teller was originally a widower. Although he had been setting up a stall here in recent years, he didn't know anyone he knew very well. The government officials still haven't even found out where he lives.

This time Magistrate Liu was stumped.

Finally, the old melon seller came to his senses and remembered that a little girl had taken the initiative to tell the fortune of the deceased with a tael of silver.

Today is the time to die at the hands of others.

It can be said that it is exactly the same as the case.

In such a strange murder case, a little girl who is like a fortune teller suddenly appears.

The first thing that flashed in Liu Zifeng's mind was this strange and treacherous young lady from the Xiao family, and he immediately rushed to the Xiao Mansion without stopping.

Looking at the figure of Lotus approaching quickly outside the window, Liu Zifeng quickly arranged his clothes and official hat.

Looking up, the county magistrate couldn't help but be stunned.

What followed He Hua was not the little girl he was expecting, but an unfamiliar boy.

"Master Liu, my little master just fell asleep." Xiao Jiu clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "If you want to ask about the murder case that happened in Dongfang City today, ordinary people can answer one or two."

"Who are you?"

Looking at Xiao Jiu, who was wearing short clothes, Liu Zifeng couldn't tell who he was for a moment.

"Sir, Cao Min is the personal bodyguard of the young lady. His name is Xiaojiu."

Since the person was brought by lotus, Liu Zifeng would not have any doubts.

Moreover, he also knew that although this young lady from the Xiao Mansion was very talented, she was still too young and once she fell asleep, it was really difficult to get up again.

"I would like to ask you, has your master ever come into contact with the deceased?"

The incident happened suddenly and very bloody, and now the people of Dongfang City are panicking.

Liu Zifeng knew that this matter must be resolved quickly. If there is any further delay, Dongfang City and Fengcheng will fall into more crises.

He hoped that the little girl Guanong mentioned was from the Xiao Mansion, otherwise it would be difficult to find her in the vast sea of ​​people.

"Yes."

Xiaojiu's answer made Liu Zifeng feel half-hearted.

"The master gave the man a tael of silver and asked him how long he would live."

"The man made a fortune for himself and said that he had an eighty-eighty percent chance of living."

"If the young master doesn't believe it, he will tell him his fortune personally and predict that he will die violently today."

The unfamiliar little guard basically agreed with what the melon farmer said. Liu Zifeng originally thought that the case would become clear after he found the little girl, but now he suddenly looked sad again.

There are still no clues about the cause of death of the deceased and the murderer. I am afraid that only Su Qingtian knows the deeper details of the case.

A clicking sound came from outside the door. Liu Zifeng turned around and saw Xiao Yichen coming to the door.

"Master Liu, I wonder why you came here today?"

Xiao Yichen had just finished busy with his family affairs when the servant came to report that Magistrate Liu came to the house not to see him, but to see the young lady.

Feeling that something was fishy, ​​he rushed over immediately, ready to see what was going on.

"Young Master."

Magistrate Liu didn't hide it and said directly, "Because of a murder case in Dongfang City this morning, I came here to pay a visit to Miss Su."

Xiao Yichen was shocked, why did these words sound so familiar?

Another murder occurred in Dongfang City. Why is it related to Xiao Qingtian again?

"Where's Xiao Qingtian?"

Xiao Yichen looked at Xiao Jiu standing aside and asked.

"The young master just went to bed."

"In this case, Mr. Liu should come back another day."

Although he didn't know what the situation of today's case was, Xiao Yichen knew from looking at Liu Zifeng's attitude that he was here to beg someone, not to lock someone up.

Wang Liu's case had some involvement with the Xiao family, so he naturally cooperated with the investigation.

But now it concerns Xiao Qingtian, and he cannot let the little girl get involved in these bloody and dirty things.

"Young Master, please allow me to have a cup of tea even if you are traveling alone."

Liu Zifeng knew that Xiao Yichen was nervous about his little baby, so he couldn't help but soften his tone.

"There has been no clue about the case since the incident. I am not in a hurry, so I might as well wait for the little girl."

"We don't have time to spare in the past. How about a game of chess between me and the young master today?"

Xiao Yichen saw that Liu Zifeng softened and said everything, and insisted on waiting for Su Qingtian to wake up, so he could not open his mouth to greet the guests again.

After all, the other party is the magistrate of a county, and he is just a commoner.
