"I'm from the capital. My surname is Zhao Mingxiang. I work as an errand in the Yamen. I have received a commanding officer. The latest task is related to you..." The man in black said, paused, looked at Chen Qingshan, and then at Qiao Qiao.
Chu.
Qiao Chu didn't say anything, just sat up from the recliner and listened quietly to what was said here.
Chen Qingshan didn't say anything, but looked straight at the man in black, Zhao Xiang.
If you are someone who knows a little about government affairs, you may have many associations after hearing the two information "Jingcheng" and "surname Zhao". And the title "Capital Commander" is even more intimidating.
However, Chen Qingshan and Qiao Chu were not interested in these, so they naturally did not pay attention to them, and had no special associations. They were just waiting for the next chapter.
"That token...have you seen it?" Zhao Xiang stared at Chen Qingshan and asked.
It took Chen Qingshan a while to remember what the token was referring to, and he shook his head: "I haven't seen it before. I pulled the person in from the window and threw him on the ground. I went out without searching him."
Even if it was found, Chen Qingshan would not want it.
Zhao Xiang nodded, with a posture of "I knew it a long time ago": "This token is not simple, and it will be too involved later, so I can't tell you. But judging from the current situation, you are the last person to come into contact with this dead person."
I am a scholar, so I need to stay close to you to protect you and prevent anyone from harming you in order to kill and silence you."
Chen Qingshan: "I'm not afraid." Things like that can't hurt me.
Zhao Xiang: "..."
"You want to live here?" Qiao Chu hit the nail on the head.
Zhao Xiang's ears turned red in a rare sight: "...That's exactly what I mean. My horse happens to be used to living in your house..."
Chen Qingshan looked at Qiao Chu, who nodded.
So Chen Qingshan nodded: "Okay."
Zhao Xiang almost rolled his eyes: This wife slave!
"You live in the backyard, right next to the stable." Qiao Chu arranged for Zhao Xiang to go to the backyard: Don't you like my Liuliang? Please spend more time with it.
"Okay." Zhao Xiang was indeed very happy: Liuliang, I'm back again! Do you still remember me?
The big bones stewed with lotus roots were especially sweet and soft. The three children all ate the lotus roots as rice. Everyone in Xilihulu ate a big bowl! After eating, their faces turned red and they yawned all the time.
Qiao Chu knew that this was because the lotus root had been soaked with spiritual power for a long time and was very nourishing, so he sent all three children to sleep.
Even Zhao Xiang, who had eaten meals cooked by top imperial chefs, was full of praise for this lotus root: "This lotus root is so delicious. Is it really grown in the lotus tank in the yard?"
"Yeah." Chen Qingshan's answer is always short.
Zhao Xiang had never planted land before, and he secretly wondered: Could it be that the lotus roots grown in jars were more delicious? Why not go back and let the capital government raise a few jars of lotus roots?!
There is still a lot of lotus root left, and I can eat several more meals.
Zhao Xiang was looking forward to it.
At night, Zhao Xiang regretted it a little: he didn't care about the touching smell of the stables, but after recovering from his injury, he had excellent hearing and could not help but lie awake at night when he heard the faint movement in the front yard.
I am a man too!
A hot-blooded man!
You guys are stimulating me like this, how can I live the rest of my life?!
Finally, when the moon was in the middle of the sky, the sound stopped.
Zhao Xiang took out a breath and cursed: "What a beast! It's been so long!"
Then Zhao Xiang felt a little worried: If he was forced to listen to the corner every night in the future, would he age prematurely? Would he die prematurely?
While sighing, Zhao Xiang opened the window and looked at the moonlight falling all over the yard, feeling a sense of loneliness.
However, the emotion in his heart lasted only three seconds before Zhao Xiang's hair stood up: Under the moonlight, a small red snake was entangled in the moonlight, looking up at him.
When their eyes met, Zhao Xiang instantly felt a strong threat: This snake has murderous intent! Extremely strong murderous intent!
Almost as a subconscious reaction, Zhao Xiang's sword was immediately unsheathed!
Kill it!
The sword flashed and went straight towards the little red snake!
The little red snake remained motionless, still entrenched there, as if the sword light did not exist.
The sword light fell, but unexpectedly it was not cut in half as expected. The snake was struck by the sword light, shook its body, then raised its head again and looked at Zhao Xiang.
What kind of snake is this?
Why can't it be cut without stopping?!
And it looks like he’s still unscathed?!
Have you seen a ghost?!
Zhao Xiang didn't know if it was an illusion: the red snake tilted its head slightly, as if it was mocking, then the snake's body coiled tightly and its head tilted back.
"No!" Zhao Xiang quickly drew his sword in front of him, preparing to defend himself: the snake was going to attack him.
Yes, a certain dragon was insulted and wanted to regain his face!
A bolt of red lightning shot out and headed towards the door in front of Zhao Xiang!
Zhao Xiang's hair stood on end for a moment, and she subconsciously felt that she couldn't resist it!
"Kuang kuang kuang kuang..." A rapid sound of gongs sounded in the distance. The red snake was so frightened that it fell to the ground with a "chirp", then turned around and ran away!
Done!
If the sound is too loud, that bitch will definitely come out and look at it, and you have to get it back in his face...
"The flood has broken out! The Liu family has flooded... Go and put out the fire..." The watchman's voice was heartbreaking and disturbed the dreams of the whole city.
The threat in front of him disappeared, and Zhao Xiang just breathed a sigh of relief when he was frightened by these words and his hair stood up again: He just moved into Chen Qingshan's house today, and the Liu family was on fire?
wrong!
Something fishy!
He also ran out as if his butt was on fire!
Not long after, Chen Qingshan tied up his belt and ran out. The red birthmark on his face was very conspicuous in the moonlight...
The fire in Liu's house was astonishing. It didn't look like an ordinary fire, but like a yard of firewood piled up and a torch burning the sky!
The Liu family originally occupied a large area, but now with such a huge fire, half of the sky was naturally burned red.
What's even more strange is that there was no sound of anyone in Liu's yard, as if the yard was burning empty.
This is not right!
Zhao Xiang waved his hand and called to a few of his men who came over. He found a place beside the courtyard wall without firelight and jumped up.
Standing on the courtyard wall, Zhao Xiang and several of his men took a deep breath: there was deathly silence in the Liu family's courtyard, but the houses had turned into torches, and there were rivers of blood on the courtyard floor, and corpses were everywhere...
Obviously, this is murder first and then setting fire to destroy the evidence...
The people behind the Liu family did not dare to attack him. Seeing that he was living in Chen Qingshan's house, it was not convenient for him to attack Chen Qingshan, so they simply killed the Liu family!
"Have someone build a ladder to climb the wall! Put out the fire!" Zhao Xiang almost choked to death with a mouthful of old blood!
I knew in my heart that those people must have searched secretly and took away all the clues they could find, but I still held on to a glimmer of hope and asked my subordinates to find the new magistrate in the county government office to put out the fire.
When Chen Qingshan jumped up the wall, he was also shocked by the scene in front of him, and he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"Beast..." You are here too... Zhao Xiang subconsciously spoke, and then saw Chen Qingshan looking over in shock...
