It's a cool night, and the moonlight shines through the window.
In a certain room of the county government office, the lights were warm, the candle shadows were shaking, and the intermittent sound of running water could be heard.
Tamerlane, a woman from Yuanzhou, was washing Xu Zun's feet seriously.
Looking at this peerless face in front of him, Xu Zun was so fascinated that he couldn't help but reach out his hand and gently pinch the beauty's chin.
In an instant, the atmosphere became seductive and exciting. Ani slowly raised her head, with a pair of bright and charming eyes that made Xu Zun's heart ache.
At that moment, he wanted to take this peerless face as his own, but... for some unknown reason, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, causing him to regain his senses instantly and let go of his hand.
At this time, Ani hurriedly wiped Xu Zun's feet dry, then picked up the footbath, motioned to the cold bed and asked:
"Sir, do you need..."
What Ani meant was to ask Xu Zun if he needed a warm bed?
However, Xu Zun shook his head before she could finish her words.
Ani understood Xu Zun's thoughts and immediately left the room with the wooden basin...
The door was closed and there was silence in the house.
It is hard to imagine that in the room not far away, a killing had just occurred during the day. Although the body had been sent to Yizhuang, the blood was still there.
Xu Zun knew that he could not sleep peacefully, so he put on his shoes and went to the window.
Looking at the simple and shabby county government, he couldn't help but have thousands of thoughts in his mind, recalling all the experiences that had happened after arriving in Yonghui.
It didn't last long, but there were several dangers, especially the battle at Guanlan Hall in Yongxing Fort, where I almost died on the spot.
When Xu Zun thought of the flying Emei thorns, he could not help but think of Ku Niang.
Until then, Ku Niang has not returned.
I don’t know if she was injured while fighting Wan Qifeng, or if she just left without saying goodbye?
well……
After sighing, Xu Zun unexpectedly remembered a song that suited the occasion, and hummed softly:
"...will you come tonight, will your love still exist? If I lose you, who wants the future to come, and who wants to leave my heart. Will you come tonight, will your love still exist? I just want to have you with me.
In the future, stay with me and fall in love..."
Xu Zun hummed passionately, both in Mandarin and Cantonese, but no matter how he sang, he only knew these few lines.
After singing, when Xu Zun turned around, a surprising scene appeared, but he saw a woman in black appearing ghostly on the bed, it was none other than Ku Niang!!!
Wow...
Normally, Xu Zun would have been frightened, but now that he saw Ku Niang appearing, instead of being frightened, he was particularly surprised, and at the same time he also understood something.
I was standing by the window with the door closed. There was only one possibility for Ku Niang to suddenly appear on the bed, and that was that she was already in this room!
Xu Zun looked at the dilapidated beams and simple furniture. Although the house was small, it was still possible that someone was hiding there.
"Kuniang, you're back!" Xu Zun quickly stepped forward to say hello.
But seeing Ku Niang still sitting upright on the bed, her eyes hawkish and deep, it made people shudder.
She was not wearing a veil, and you could see the short stubbled hair on her head and the eye-catching scar on her cheek.
"Well... that..." Xu Zun hurriedly returned to the bed, sat next to Ku Niang and hesitated, "Are you okay? Is that Wan Qifeng your opponent?"
As a result, Ku Niang still didn’t respond.
All right……
Xu Zun originally wanted to ask Ku Niang about the iron coffin, but now it seems that it is still inconvenient for him to ask.
So, Xu Zun didn't show any pretense, just lay directly on Ku Niang's lap as usual, and started to introduce to her about the evil ghost murder case.
Xu Zun felt that Ku Niang was always with him, perhaps not far away from him at all, so she knew everything that happened after Guanlan Palace.
Therefore, there was no need for me to hide anything, so I simply spoke out, even to the Queen Mother's oral instructions.
"I don't know, is it a blessing or a curse to go to the Holy City this time?" Xu Zun said, "Fortunately, I have you by my side. Ku Niang, look at it, why don't you make a condition and let's renew the contract for another ten or eight years?"
Isn’t it okay for the new year..."
Ku Niang didn't seem to be interested in Xu Zun's story and remained indifferent. But who knew that just when Xu Zun was feeling weak, Ku Niang suddenly touched Xu Zun's face gently and spoke:
"What did you sing just now? Sing it again..."
"..." Xu Zun never expected that she would speak at this juncture and make such a strange request.
All right!
Satisfy you!
"Will you come tonight, will your love still exist..."
After finishing singing, Xu Zun still wanted to finish and added another song "Female Flower": "...Female Flower, swaying in the world of mortals, Woman Flower, swaying gently in the wind..."
It was the same Ku Niang, still sleeping on Ku Niang's lap, but this time, when Xu Zun sang, he felt the vibrations coming from Ku Niang's body for the first time.
Although the fluctuation was very weak, Xu Zun seemed to see the dawn of solving the iron coffin case...
…
Two days later, Xu Zun finished handling the follow-up matters of Yonghui County Government and handed over all affairs to the County Cheng Tian Murong, letting Tian Murong temporarily act as the County Sheriff.
Tian Murong was still in shock and fearful. He knew that it wouldn't be long before Tangzhou would send a new county governor and county magistrate to replace him.
After all, his position as county magistrate came from a shady background.
Tao Lang has been secretly dealt with by Ashuzai and others, so Xu Zun does not need to report the specific files of the Yonghui Evil Ghost Case in detail.
I just followed the usual practice and wrote an official document to the Tangzhou government office, briefly reporting the incident in Yonghui to Li Yan.
However, everyone knows very well that this is just a formality.
Maybe by the time the official document arrives, Li Yan will no longer be the governor of Tangzhou.
Putting aside the Iron Coffin case and the Shangyuan City incident, looking at Yonghui's situation alone, it can be seen that the superiors have long been dissatisfied with Li Yan, and I am afraid that his political career has come to an end.
In this way, Xu Zun and others packed their bags and arrived at Kuhe Pier, preparing to leave Yonghui by boat.
On the pier, Li Ronger had already prepared a large ship for Xu Zun and others. The sails were flying and the flags were flying. It was so grand.
Huo Anu and Ani were the first to board the ship, followed by the guards carrying luggage and walking onto the deck one after another, while the sailors on the ship were eager to help.
On the pier, Li Ronger naturally wanted to see her off in person, but she was seen wearing a Xuan Dao green robe and holding a fly whisk in her hand, looking very energetic.
But when he came closer and took a closer look, he could see that her complexion was sallow and her lips were white. It was obvious that she had not yet recovered from her injuries.
"This time, I'm really grateful to Gang Leader Li," Xu Zun clasped his fists in thanks, "I can borrow your boat so that I can return to Beijing as soon as possible!"
"Sir, please don't say that," Li Ronger gathered her strength and returned the favor, "This is what our Sanhe Gang should do. Your Excellency saved our gang from danger, and we, the Sanhe Gang, will remember it in your heart, and we will definitely repay you in the future.
"Besides, our Sanhe Gang makes a living by transporting water. It's just a simple task..." Li Ronger pointed at the big ship, "Master Xu, please follow me on board, and I will introduce you to the owner..."
"Okay, okay, thank you!" Xu Zun and Li Ronger walked onto the deck side by side.
Just when Xu Zun and Li Ronger were getting on the boat, a pair of eyes were watching them closely in the crowd.
But after Xu Zun and his two men came to the deck, Li Ronger introduced the ship owner to Xu Zun and then introduced the sailing matters.
At this moment, Liu Dong drove a carriage slowly over. He only needed to drive the carriage onto the ship, and Xu Zun and others could set sail.
As a result, at this moment, an exclamation suddenly came from the deck:
"Hey! Who is that!!?"
Immediately afterwards, there was a fierce fighting sound in the cabin.
"ah?"
Xu Zun was talking to Li Ronger. When they heard the sound of fighting, the two hurriedly went down to the cabin to check.
Unexpectedly, not long after Xu and Zun entered the cabin, a ball of fire suddenly burst out in the cabin. Following a loud bang, the fire shot into the sky, and the entire ship exploded violently, shattering it into pieces...
