In the early morning, on the banks of the Qinhuai River, before dawn, Nie Yunzhu got up from the bed, washed up, then brewed a pot of tea, and walked out of the front door of the small building.

The gloomy night enveloped the city walls and mountains in the distance, making it difficult to see what was in the distance. She sat on the steps in front of the building thinking about things. In fact, these days, she thought about more than one thing. The originally familiar footsteps had not sounded here for twenty days.

Looking back, such mornings have lasted for nearly a year. From the beginning of knowing him because of the chicken, to the time when I saw him running over every morning, talking and chatting. Every morning is the most special time for her. Except for heavy rain, the figure passes here every day, even if it snows, she almost thought that she would go on like this in the future.

Only these twenty days have passed to tell her that the two of them are in contact, but in fact, they only have this simple meeting every day. Without him coming, she could not find him. The man... After all, he was the husband of the Miss Su family.

This thought made her a little worried.

In the first few days, I thought he had something urgent, either going out for a long distance, or delaying his morning exercise time. However, as time passed, I couldn't help but feel anxious, worried that something had happened to him or something unexpected. In a few days, I had walked around the Su Mansion intentionally or unintentionally, and walked around the courtyard wall to see if there were any clues, but I couldn't see it. I was anxious and felt that I was secretly touching, and I really didn't understand what I was doing.

When this worry was the worst, it was probably a few days ago when several constables came to find her. She was in a daze in the backyard of the Zhuji Main Store, with her worries in mind. When the servant in the store came in and told her that there was a constable looking for her, she was stunned and ran out in a daze and almost tripped by the threshold. Then, after hearing the question asked by the constable, she was stunned for a while before she realized.

Gu Yanzhen, Gu Yanzhen, is Gu Yanzhen again...

Don't worry about him going to die.

——The two constables asked exactly what happened between her and Gu Yanzhen.

She almost complained like that in her heart, but she still absent-mindedly briefly talked about her previous relationship. In the end, the two constables just told her that Gu Yanzhen was killed after leaving the city, which made her stunned for a while.

If it were normal, she might be sad about it for a while, but at this moment she had some worries, and after a while she was stunned, she turned back. The world is not peaceful, so Liheng would not have encountered anything...

It was not until soon after that she went to the Su Mansion and saw Liheng's wife Su Tan'er and the maid come out to get on the carriage. Although she looked a little anxious, she seemed to be just dealing with the business, so she gradually calmed down. But the next day she thought that Liheng had nothing to do. When he was chatting with him the other day, he never said that he was going to go far. Now that he hasn't come for so long, it may be... not coming?

I also think this idea is really silly.

In recent days, I have been gloomy, low and complicated thoughts, but every morning, I still soak the pot of tea, sit on the steps and wait until dawn. At this time, she will adjust her mood a little.

Humph, if you don’t come, I will wait here every day!

She thought so with a playful mood, sat there and took a sip of tea, then gently caressed the morning breeze, bringing the footsteps over...

After twenty days, Ning Yi has regained his habit of running in the morning every day. Although Xiaochan changed his hands in the room after getting up, Xiaochan complained with tears in his eyes when he was nagging, and when he just untied the bandage yesterday, he even made Xiaochan cry even more when he saw the burned left hand, there was still the necessity of persisting in exercise.

The injury to the left hand has basically recovered. This recovery means that you can do some basic movements, no longer hurt, and there is no big problem in life, but it is a bit ugly after removing the bandage. Now the whole hand is red. A few days ago, I brag about what a blood-handed man was, but I didn’t expect that the prophecy came true, and it was really funny and irritating whether it was actually or on the outside.

It took half a year to recover, and it was because the injury medicine Lu Hong brought was indeed good. He was actually preparing to get rid of his left hand, but there was no room for more choice in the situation that day. Although it was a pity, there was nothing to do with his mother-in-law and mother. Now he has made a profit.

Some of the ingredients of the injury medicine are very expensive, but the Su family is rich, so this problem is not big. Last night, I probably gave the Su family's father-in-law and Mrs. Su's bus to the process of "My friend has something to help and then gets burned in his arm." If it should be downplayed, it will be downplayed. The reason why Xiaochan didn't want him to come out this morning was mainly because of fear that exercise would cause sweat on his arms. After all, burns and other things are mainly the damage to these skin glands. However, Ning Yi now has the internal skills taught by Lu Hong, so naturally there is no need to stop, just restrain his exercise.

Today's running was to stop in front of Nie Yunzhu's small building.

"... A few days ago, I went out to the city to help a friend do something, but later I had a minor accident and my hand was burned. Fortunately, I found a famous doctor. The medicine was amazing and it would be cured in about half a year." Ning Yi took a sip of tea, raised his left hand wrapped in bandages and showed it in the air, "How is it? Do you think it looks good like this?" He himself felt that this look was indeed cool.

Nie Yunzhu smiled slightly and lowered her eyes: "It hurts, right?"

"Uh, I don't feel anything anymore, it really hurts at that time." Ning Yi smiled, "How are you doing recently?"

"Well, fortunately, something very interesting happened a few days ago. Someone came to the store with his own wooden sign..."

In the early morning, the river beside the river beside it seemed to have returned to its former scene, some homely trivial gossip. Seeing Ning Yi, Nie Yunzhu felt as if he had let go. But when he recalled the situation in these days, there were always some places that were empty. When the morning light was slightly dewed, Ning Yi stood up and said goodbye. Nie Yunzhu hesitated in his heart: "You..."

"Um?"

"You have an injury on your hand, and you have to apply medicine every day, so it is not easy to sweat. For your health, don't sweat after running these days."

She said this with some difficulty, Ning Yi nodded: "Well, I understand, but it's okay, simple exercise is still not a big problem, and I won't sweat. I have gained internal strength recently, and I'll exercise at any time. I won't sweat at this level of exercise intensity. Haha, maybe I will become a martial arts hero in a while."

Ning Yi used to tell her about rumors about martial arts and the like, but now she is cheerful when talking about this. Nie Yunzhu stood there and watched his back move away. A drop of cold tears suddenly slid down her cheeks and fell on the back of her hand in front of her. She was slightly stunned, then wiped it in a panic, ran forward suddenly, but ran two steps, and the embroidered shoes stopped again, Ning Yi turned around in front.

"Ah, by the way, the wine matter should be almost done. At that time, I will take over the design of each component. It is best to find a few blacksmiths who can keep it confidential and separate it. Well, I will try my best to find ways to ensure that the specifications are in line with it. The next workshop needs to be kept confidential... Has the winemaker contacted?"

Nie Yunzhu grabbed the handkerchief on her chest, and after a while, she nodded vigorously: "Well, I've contacted it before."

"Oh, that's good." Ning Yi smiled, then waved his hand, "Let's go first, class will start a few days later. I said I can be lazy these two days. Maybe I'll go to Zhuji to sit at noon. Haha, I miss the skinny egg lean meat porridge."

Nie Yunzhu smiled and nodded: "I'll wait for you to come."

A trace of loss in my heart gradually faded away.

He will pass by at noon...

When she was in a cheerful mood, she could leave the rest behind her. In the early morning of vitality and hope, she was about to go to the main store to wait, and then she remembered the news of Gu Yanzhen's death from the two constables. Why did the two constables come to find her? Nie Yunzhu thought to herself that she might not have much disgust towards Gu Yanzhen. Gu Yanzhen was still talented. When he died, Nie Yunzhu felt a little regretful and sad. But on the other hand, even if she died, she seemed to have something to do with her, which made her feel a little disgusted. It was obviously not a conflicting relationship. These two moods were mixed together and after a while, she sighed and gradually faded away.

A few days later, more and more victims outside the city were suffering. One morning, Nie Yunzhu told Ning Yi that a person he knew died outside the city these days. This man originally wanted to set out to be the county magistrate. He was quite talented and had a bright future. Therefore, he told Ning Yi that the situation was not peaceful recently and he paid more attention to safety. Ning Yi looked complicated at that time.

"acquaintance?"

“Unfamiliar.”

"Oh." Ning Yi shrugged, "It's so regrettable that God is jealous of talent."

This is a later story, I won't mention it for now.

Time went back to the evening of the sixth day of June. Nearly two days passed since the bloody incident that night. Several detectives investigated near the burned boathouse on the remote river bank. The wind roared and the sky became darker. There might be a thunderstorm tonight.

"After this heavy rain, I'm afraid nothing can be investigated!" The voice of a detective resounded through the river bank in the wind. The boathouse on the shallows of the river had been burned thoroughly at this time. Of course, there were also some collapsed wreckage, and the burned charred bodies were mixed in. I don't know how long it had been washed away.

"If there is really the body of the county magistrate Gu, what's going on?"

"It was probably because of the transaction that County Magistrate Gu and the Yang brothers here, but they were dealt with by the assassin."

There were five constables in total, three ordinary constables, and the other two were chief and deputy captains. This was the real official captain in Jiangning Mansion. The five people searched around the wreckage by the river for a while. In fact, when they discovered this morning, they had found some clues. Perhaps one of the corpses could be confirmed to be Gu Yanzhen. This was the second time they came over because it might rain. The thirty-year-old captain walked up the shore and looked for other clues nearby. After a while, the older, tall and thin co-captain also followed.

"Tao Chen, the deaths of two servants of the Gu family, the rest said that it was done by the female assassin. Now that he and Yang Yi and Yang Heng's family die here, the case will be closed, and it will be easy to settle."

The slightly tall and thin deputy captain, named Xu, said this at this time, and the captain was named Chen. He smiled: "The magistrate also hopes this way."

They will come here today because of a bloody incident outside the city yesterday morning. Two servants of the Gu family were kidnapped and thrown back to their bodies. The one who appeared at the scene was the female assassin who assassined Song Xian on the Dragon Boat Festival. At that time, the rest of the Gu family watched the female assassin kill. After that, Gu Yanzhen, who was a county magistrate, could not be found. Only then did everyone think that something was wrong and expand the scope to this place.

The Yang Yi and Yang Heng brothers who live here are famous villains, living in remote areas, and if they die, the government will basically ignore them, and they may only applaud. However, Gu Yanzhen's case happened at this time, and some things have to be investigated. If a county magistrate died in Jiangning, he must give an explanation to the above.

Brothers Yang Yi and Yang Heng have always been domineering, but they are also extremely fierce. Not many people in Jiangning will provoke them easily and cannot provoke them. At this time, the whole family died, and it seems that only a strong man like a female assassin could do it. As for why Gu Yanzhen and his servants were here, the reason is probably to see whether the above is going to slander him or light him up. It doesn't matter.

If we talk about this matter alone, if a county magistrate dies in Jiangning's territory, whether the case can be solved will be very stressed. But the female assassin reached out to abduct the military, and now he has killed someone and ran out of the city. Hengshu already has Song Xian's case, and now he pushes it up and makes a case a decorative thing. At noon, everyone analyzed the case, and the magistrate revealed the intention of merging the case. He didn't want to directly deal with two disgusting cases here, so it would be better to become one. At present, it seems that logic is actually accurate. Gu Yanzhen bought a murderer and did some bad things and killed the female assassin, but died here with Yang Yi and Yang Heng's family. The female assassin had a fierce personality and even went to kill two other servants to vent his anger.

"It's probably how it is to close the case."

Captain Chen smiled and said this. The two of them were walking on the river beach. The captain went to see the blood on the river bank that might be the first murder scene. After a moment, he turned around, but could not find the other person. He turned around and entered the bamboo forest here and saw Captain Chen "sitting" there for some reason.

He didn't really sit because there was no chair behind him. At this time, the calm-looking man set foot in the bamboo forest and sat in a sitting position, with his hands on his knees, as if he was sitting steadily. He was slightly tilted and looked at the wreckage of the house on the shoal in the distance, looking in a striking and suspicious. Deputy Captain Xu was about to walk over, but he suddenly stretched out his hand: "Don't come over!"

"What's wrong?"
