Chapter 789
Feng Yan disposed of the corpse, looked at the crowd downstairs, suddenly waved his hand, and said sharply: "Take all the people here back for interrogation."

"Hey, sir, we still have business here, what are you doing?"

Holding a long knife in his hand, Feng Yan looked at the innkeeper with unfriendly eyes: "It's been less than an hour since the person died, and all of these people are suspected."

Although the handling of the case is important, most of the people in it are scholars who will take the exam tomorrow. They were taken to interrogate by the government officials.

Feng Yan is a rough man, he doesn't know how to do things in a roundabout way, he only relies on his intuition, he draws out his long knife and looks at those people viciously: "Whatever the quarrel, if you quarrel again, all of them will be locked in the prison."

Everyone was frightened into silence by him, and it took a long time before they whispered: "Everyone says that this yamen servant is a bad person, and he really isn't a good person, they are all vicious like bandits."

"What are you mumbling about, take it away with me."

Feng Yan asked the yamen guards to surround these people, Li Xiruo stood up and said, "My lord, it's probably inappropriate for you to arrest everyone without evidence."

Feng Yan watched a beautiful little girl appear in front of him, but his face was full of impatience, and he pulled out the knife slightly with his usual momentum without any mercy, showing a cold light, looking sharply at Li Xiruo who was trying to scare her. Retire her.If women like this were usually scared into silence, Li Xiruo stood up and said to Feng Yan: "Most of the people here today are scholars who will take the exam tomorrow. Once the provincial exam is passed, there will be some of them. To become a Juren, the imperial court held imperial examinations, was to recruit sages and win over talents for the Holy One, which is related to the foundation of the imperial court, and it is a major event, now, does your lord want to be a sinner through the ages and destroy these talents?"

Feng Yan frowned: "I only took them back for interrogation, and it wasn't a crime, so why did they become sinners?"

Li Xiruo smiled: "It's getting late today, there are so many people, and when the adults asked one by one, would the magistrate hope that all the literati will sleep together in the rural examination tomorrow? I'm afraid it's a hindrance Bar."

Feng Yan glanced at the frail scholars around him, a little hesitant. There is an optimal time to handle the case. If you miss this point, if you go to catch the murderer, many evidences will be destroyed.

"Actually, my lord might as well think about it. After the results of the provincial examination are released, the magistrate will hold a Luming Banquet. At that time, all the scholars on the list will be invited to go. At that time, after drinking, there will be a lot of talk. My lord doesn't want to leave the magistrate. A good impression?"

Feng Yan looked at Li Xiruo with a sneer, his words were threatening, if the top of the list later sued the magistrate among them, he would only make himself unable to eat.

Feng Yan pointed to Li Xiruo's face and said: "You are very talkative, but let me tell you, after the provincial examination is over, I will be the first to check you."

Li Xiruo smiled at him: "I'm not afraid of the shadow slanting when I'm upright, but I'm afraid I will be blamed for not doing my job well when I see the adults wasting time and letting the murderer go."

Feng Yan snorted coldly, only asked his subordinates to register the names and places of origin of all the people present, and walked out.

In order to thank Li Xiruo for keeping their business, the owner of the inn changed them all to a big room for free. While holding the keys for them, the owner said: "Oh, poor Jiang Xiucai, who is nearly forty years old, It’s not easy to get to the country test, but I didn’t expect to encounter such a misfortune. I’m afraid his beautiful lady will cry to death.”

Liu Yusheng leaned aside and heard that there was a beautiful woman accompanying him, and asked curiously: "Then why isn't his wife here now?" Liu Yusheng paused for a moment and suddenly realized: "It couldn't be that his wife killed her, otherwise why isn't he here right now?" By Xianggong's side."

"Don't tell me, it's really possible. Just now I heard Jiang Xiucai scolding his wife very badly. His wife immediately opened the door and ran out crying." A person saw them chatting and interjected.

Liu Yusheng was impatient, so he hurriedly pulled Chen Daoxin: "Then let's go and tell the official, maybe we can get a reward if we find the murderer."

The man was happy: "We have already told Mr. Feng about this situation, I'm afraid they are all looking for that woman all over the city now."

Liu Yusheng heard that he was out of money, and he was a little dissatisfied: "Then he insisted on interrogating us just now."

"Isn't that when the lady ran out, Jiang Xiucai was still scolding? We just guessed whether she ran back halfway and killed Jiang Xiucai unwillingly."

Listening to these words, Chen Xin would be guessed by the audience, but these rumors would destroy a person, he frowned and said: "The official will decide this matter, let's not make rash judgments."

The man was talking about it for fun, but when he saw that Chen Xin was serious, he felt bored and left on his own.

When night fell, Liu Yusheng looked suspiciously at the quiet surroundings, and whispered to Chen Xin: "Brother Chen, I have an idea, do you think it is possible, there is a lunatic who wants to kill the opponent, who do you think is talented?" who will be killed."

He said and hugged himself tightly: "Then I am not very dangerous."

Chen Xin couldn't help laughing: "It's not as easy as you said to kill someone. Brother Liu, don't worry too much. Go to bed early."

Liu Yusheng got into bed, and comforted himself: "It's okay, just wait until I open my eyes tomorrow morning, and everything will pass."

Chen Xin smiled approvingly, but looked at the thick night outside, feeling restless all the time.

Li Xi Ruojing waited for everyone outside to put out the candles, Xiao Er locked the door, and suddenly opened his eyes, a faint fragrance came, it was the breath of the day, but it was stronger .

Li Xiruo got up and walked out of the door, seeing that there was no one in the dark corridor, a breeze passed by, she keenly felt the shadow behind her shaking, but when she turned around, she didn't find any trace.

Li Xiruo closed his eyes and used his sense of smell and five senses to feel, and there was a faint cry for help from the place where the fragrance drifted past.

At this time, there was no one, Li Xiruo used magic to appear in front of the door of a room in the inn. The candle inside was still on a moment ago, but when she came, it was extinguished.

Li Xiruo frowned, and gently pushed open the door, seeing the overturned teacup on the table, with water stains all over the floor.

A vine circled behind her in the dark, trying to wrap around her neck unexpectedly, Li Xiruo only clamped it with two fingertips, and the flower vine burst open and turned into powder, Li Xiruo He waved his hand to light up the candles in the room, turned around, and saw the terrified eyes of a beautiful woman, her hand was tightly wrapped around a scholar who had passed out from suffocation.

Li Xiruo looked at the woman, and recognized her original form as a lingxiao flower. The flower demon absorbs the essence of the heaven and the earth to become an adult. The flower can be appreciated by the world, and the mood is happy. The flower falling can nourish the soil and nourish all things. It is the easiest to gain merits, ranking among the immortals.Therefore, the flower demon has never killed a mortal.

Li Xiruo stared at her, and said coldly, "You are quite courageous."

Hearing these words, Qi Yueying immediately knelt down and prostrated herself in the tunnel, "Please forgive me, Immortal, I have reasons for everything."

Li Xiruo turned around with his hands behind his back: "I don't care about ordinary things, and I'm not interested in your difficulties. Just leave quickly, and your debt will be repaid."

If another person dies in the inn, I'm afraid that the people in the inn will really fail the exam.

Qi Yueying knelt all the way to Li Xiruo: "No, this matter may also have something to do with the scholar who accompanied the immortal."

"How do you know who I'm traveling with?"

"Actually, I was outside the inn when the yamen came to investigate the case, but I didn't dare to come in when I saw you here."

Li Xiruo glanced at her: "To make a long story short."

"It was my husband who died in the inn today. I am Jiang Xiucai's wife."

Li Xiruo stood up impatiently: "Since it's seeking revenge, what does that have to do with us?"

Seeing Li Xiruo's indifferent expression, Qi Yueying immediately argued: "Because I stole the rural examination questions for him, and he scolded me for not trusting me, he died here. I just want to find the murderer now."

If Li Xiruo closed his eyes, this little demon is too courageous. If the policy questions of the township examination are leaked, the whole of Yizhou will be thoroughly investigated, and I'm afraid it will be another bloodbath.Li Xiruo lowered her head and looked at her: "You are married to someone, and you are no longer in harmony with the rules of ethics, and now you are meddling in the affairs of the world. Do you really want a thousand years of Taoism to be destroyed?"

"I have been married to him for 20 years, and I don't care about morality. Please give me a chance to find the murderer. I am willing to be punished."

Li Xiruo sneered, and looked at the scholar on the ground: "You have been married to him for many years, and they seem to be very affectionate, but did you ever think that maybe you brought him the disaster."

Qi Yueying smiled wryly: "His lifelong ambition is to become an official, but this is a single-plank bridge, and there are thousands of troops walking on it. He has been in the exam for ten years just as a scholar. His only wish is to be able to go to Juren. I just wanted to help him, so I copied the policy question and handed it to him. He is usually gentle and has never lost his temper with me. This is the first time he scolded me, but it will also be the last time."

Qi Yueying wiped the teardrops from her face, stood up, and said to Li Xiruo: "So, even if it is wiped out, I will not let the person who caused him go, even if it is going to hell, I will hold that person to death." Let's go down together."

Li Xiruo frowned when she saw her growing hostility, and with a wave of his hand, the sleepy scholar woke up. As soon as the man woke up and looked at Qi Yueying, his whole body trembled, and he couldn't stop stepping back.

Seeing how timid he was, Li Xiruo asked him, "You killed Jiang Xiucai?"

"No, no, how would I dare to kill people? I swear, I just bought the questions for this rural examination, and I don't know anything about other things."

Li Xiruo was startled, and the topic of policy actually spread!What about tomorrow's rural exam?

"I just want you to tell who sold it to you."

She ran away at the door and left Ceti in the hands of her husband. She guessed that someone who heard their conversation had evil intentions, killed Jiang Xiucai, and seized Ceti.
