As he was talking, he heard a sudden noise outside, and many people holding torches walked straight towards the alley.
Ning Yujin looked outside and saw that the visitors were all wearing the same official uniforms. They were officials from various cities in the states.
She originally wanted to stay and check on the victim first, but it was really troublesome to stay at this moment. What if these officials were all bastards and arrested the two of them as murderers?
They can escape then, but if the government hires a painter to paint a portrait of them, and then sends it to Shengjing to be wanted nationwide, then the people in Shengjing City won't laugh at them to death?
Ning Yujin had already considered whether to travel around the world or return to Shengjing. Mo Jingxiao decisively put out the lantern and jumped up the wall again with her in his arms.
"What's wrong?" Ning Yujin turned her head and asked Mo Jingxiao in a low voice.
Mo Jingxiao lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "An acquaintance."
Are there any acquaintances of Mo Jingxiao here?
Ning Yujin was surprised and wanted to ask something when she heard Mo Jingxiao say again: "I'll tell you when I get back."
Ning Yujin nodded and asked no more questions.
By this time, those people had already walked into the alley, and if they made any more noise, their target would be easily exposed.
About a dozen official officers arrived, all holding torches and squeezing into the alley. Ning Yujin couldn't help frowning when she saw this: Aren't they destroying the scene?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a clear man's voice coming in from outside: "Don't go in again, protect the scene!"
This was a knowledgeable person. Ning Yujin couldn't help but follow the sound and look over.
I saw a man in a navy blue gown walking in from among the officials. He had handsome eyebrows, handsome features, and was very straight-looking.
Ning Yujin suddenly laughed: Oh, he is still a handsome guy!
I saw the handsome guy coming over, looking at the crime scene by the light of the torch, my eyebrows could not help but condense slightly: "Is the murderer here?"
An officer raised his hand and replied: "If I want to return to Master, I will be on my way here."
Oh, he is a master.
Ning Yujin nodded in understanding, and then stared in surprise - when did the master become an investigator?
Just when I was surprised, I heard the handsome guy ask again: "What did the watchman say outside?"
"It is said that he likes to take his dog with him when he is on duty. Just now, when his dog came here, he ran into the alley disobediently. When he followed him, he saw what his dog was talking about.
When he came in with a lantern, he saw that it was a human hand, and he was immediately frightened and ran out."
Not to mention the watchman, even the official who was present couldn't help himself from looking at the pile of scarlet things, for fear that he would not be able to sleep when he returned soon.
"Oh, that's right." The official added, "The watchman said he saw two people coming in, one tall, one short, one strong, one thin. Their specific faces are not very clear. Moreover, they haven't seen it yet.
I saw those two people going out."
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was shocked.
This is a dead end. Those two people have not left since they entered...
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but glance around.
The handsome guy couldn't help but frown, but his eyes didn't wander around. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the wall.
Ning Yujin was shocked - this is actually a smart person.
However, when Mo Jingxiao carried her up, he deliberately found a place with eaves protruding from it. As long as he stepped back slightly, he couldn't see it from below.
After the handsome guy glanced at it, he spoke: "Maybe he was some kind of martial arts master who flew over the wall and left. Don't be suspicious. He didn't say anything about his strange power."
"yes."
The officials seemed to listen to the handsome guy's words and responded respectfully.
Just at this time, Wu Zuo rushed over. Ning Yujin wanted to continue watching, but Mo Jingxiao led her and jumped away from the place of right and wrong.
"Why don't you stop reading?" Ning Yujin couldn't help but ask on the way back.
Mo Jingxiao said: "Since you are here to have fun, then just mind your own business. Then Xu Jinsong is not someone to be taken lightly. Just wait for him to deal with it."
Ning Yujin looked astonished: "The acquaintance you mentioned is him."
By the way, I said silently in my heart: Xu Jinsong, it turns out that handsome guy is named Xu Jinsong.
Mo Jingxiao's expression was calm and he said calmly: "I'm not very familiar with him. Zizhan is familiar with him. They are classmates and they even recommended him to me."
"Mr. Murong's classmate, he seems to be a person with a story." Ning Yujin said, shaking her head.
Mo Jingxiao suddenly laughed: "How do you know he is a person with stories?"
Ning Yujin said matter-of-factly: "It's very simple. Mr. Murong has a very high level of making friends. If Xu Jinsong is able to get to know him well enough to be able to introduce him to you, it means that Xu Jinsong is really a good friend."
A capable person. But a capable person became a master here instead of taking the exam. There must be some stories that have to be told."
Mo Jingxiao nodded: "That's true. Zizhan and he were classmates. They went to Beijing to take the exam together. However, when they entered the exam room, they were found to have cheat sheets wrapped in the dry food they brought with them, so they were kicked out of the exam room.
.”
Ning Yujin was shocked: "He cheated?"
"Of course not. Someone was jealous and deliberately framed him." Mo Jingxiao said, "Zizhan had already entered the venue at that time. It was not until he came out after the exam that he found out that something had happened to Xu Jinsong, and that the person who framed him was another high-ranking member of the court.
Son. At that time, I rushed back to Beijing because of the incident with the dancing girl. When I heard about it, I killed the son of the high official with a knife. So Zizhan left the No. 1 Scholar in charge and followed me to the frontier.
"
"It turns out that Mr. Murong followed you because of Xu Jinsong!" This was the first time Ning Yujin heard this statement. She couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering, "I thought Mr. Murong was attracted by your heroic and majestic appearance.
I’m fascinated by it.”
Mo Jingxiao stretched out his hand to rub her face: "Aren't you the one who was fascinated?"
"Uh..." Ning Yujin was stopped by Mo Jingxiao's words.
"But since Xu Jinsong is a talented person, why didn't you want him?" Ning Yujin quickly changed the subject.
Mo Jingxiao said: "It's not that I don't want him, it's that he said that he owes the governors of the various states a favor, and every drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. Although he has only been a master in these years, he has always been in charge of all the states.
manage."
"That's it." Ning Yujin nodded, no wonder those officials respected him so much just now.
Since Xu Jinsong is quite capable, it's no wonder that Mo Jingxiao asked her to stop meddling in other people's business.
In this case, they should continue to play well and wait for some time to see the results.
