Chapter 281 The beauty is about to die (2)
Although the group of people were tired, they could only grit their teeth and persevere.

The reason is that the fox beauty is delicate, and the flowering period is only one month, and even if you rush desperately from Beijing to Chen County, it will take at least half a month to go back and forth. They are afraid that if they neglect, the fox beauty will wither. , Maybe Longyan was furious.

From this, Huo An sighed deeply that this royal errand is really difficult to handle, even if the salary is generous.

He didn't know that this errand was even more difficult to handle later.

According to what Ruyi said, they came to a Zhuangzi eighty miles away in the southern suburbs of Chen County. This Zhuangzi was a big family with the surname Sima. After the village, he played with his own chrysanthemum garden seriously, and got acquainted with some wandering masters, got a few seeds by accident, and carefully bred two precious chrysanthemums called Fox Beauty.

It is said that this chrysanthemum is fiery red like red fox fur. When the buds are tight, it looks like a fox's face. It is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. When it is in full bloom, it looks like a fluffy fox tail.

When we arrived at Simazhuang, the sky was already dawning.

Looking at the village from a distance, it was quiet and the breeze was blowing, Yong Rong suddenly reined in his horse slightly, moved to Huo An's side and whispered, "Huo An, I don't think it's right."

After joining the army, sometimes Yongrong still called Huo An directly in private, and Huo An liked it too, because they were originally brothers formed in the caravan.

Huo An stared at the ups and downs of the shadows, Zhuangzi who had no voice, "You are right."

Indeed, at this time, all the wives and servants of the rich family should get up, those who pour the chamber pot, those who sweep the yard sweep the yard, the kitchen has already started to set up the stove and start the fire, and prepare breakfast. After dawn, the master will go to bed together. If you say eat, you will eat.

So at this time, Zhuangzi should have a little bit of popularity and smoke no matter what.

But Sima Zhuangzi didn't.So Huo An Yongrong felt that this was not quite right.

A group of people stepped closer to the horse, and immediately understood what was wrong.

There are dead people.

Still fresh dead.Because there was a strong smell of blood lingering in the clear air in the morning.

Everyone was startled, and slowly took off the weapons at their waists, held them in their hands, held the reins in one hand, and approached Zhuangzi step by step.

Zhuangzi's door was ajar.

After Huo An signaled, a soldier got off his horse and carefully opened the door.

There was a creaking sound, echoing in the empty courtyard, and it sounded strange in the dawn of dawn.

But soon they saw something more intrusive.

The blood meandered to the door, and the guard couldn't lift his foot, and the tip of his shoe was already stained with thick blood.

The soldier hurriedly withdrew his foot and turned to look at Huo An, "Cavalry Captain..."

Sima Zhuangzi changed, which they didn't expect, but their mission is to retrieve the beautiful fox, who is in Sima Zhuangzi, and has arrived in front of the gate, so they turned back, how can they return?It was said that Zhuangzi had a murder case, and they were scared back when they walked to the door?
No way, I had to go in and find out.

Huo An left three people on guard outside, taking advantage of the silence, he took the others and hurried in to have a look.

Walking through the yard, I saw two dead bodies without any suspense, dressed as servants.Huo An squatted down and took a closer look, his heart gradually became dark. Both of them died from their throats being swollen, as if they were cut open by a strange weapon, and their necks were almost broken.

After passing the front yard, several dead bodies were also thrown here and there in Zhuangzi's corridor, all of them died of broken necks and throats, and they were all dressed as servants.Everywhere was dead.

Huo An frowned and remained silent.

Yongrong held the bow in his right hand, and frowned slightly, "The blood is so fresh, these servants all died outside, it seems that they were killed after waking up, it didn't take more than half an hour before and after they came, and it didn't look like a bandit robbery. Bandits rob, and most of them rob and burn it afterwards.”

Huo An said, "Naturally they cannot be bandits. Bandits don't have such good skills. A deadly move is all in the throat."

He looked heavily at the backyard, feeling ominous.

Sure enough, when he saw Mrs. Sima lying on the corpse bed in the master's room in the backyard, Huo An was basically sure that the old owner Sima, who loved chrysanthemums all his life, had mostly died of chrysanthemums.

Everyone didn't have time to look carefully one by one, so they went straight to the back garden, where the flower house should be.

The back garden was quiet and clean, except for a gardener lying dead on the side of the road, there were no other dead bodies. There were not many servants in this village, and the old owner Sima seemed to be a quiet person.

Soon they saw that the old owner of Xijing had been quiet forever.The throat was also swollen, and blood was everywhere. The old owner Sima fell on his back in the flower room, holding a broken celadon bone flowerpot in the crook of his stiff right hand. The flowerpot was smashed, and fresh black soil spilled all over On the ground, I saw a broken stem trembling and crooked in the soil, and there were red chrysanthemum petals all over the ground, trampled to the point where it lost its charm.

Well, from the looks of it, pretty fox, it's dead too.

That's not right, there are two fox beauties, and one more?

Everyone searched around and found that there were flowers and plants on the well-arranged shelves in the flower room, except for the top shelf, which lacked two vacancies.

One of the beautiful foxes died and the other disappeared.

There is also a yard of dead people.

As the day was approaching, Huo An frowned and thought, thinking that it would be better to retreat first, otherwise, if he was seen by people at dawn, he would be speechless all over his body.

So he led the crowd and quietly turned around to leave. Unexpectedly, just two steps away, a guard quickly jumped up and said in a low voice, "Lieutenant, there is movement in the study."

It is very close from the back garden to the study, passing through a corridor, and sure enough, on the closed lattice window of the study, a small candle halo is reflected, the candle halo is still moving, obviously someone is holding a candle.

Huo An raised his hand to press down, and ordered people to lie in ambush on both sides of the corridor. He was alone, and went to check lightly.

Yongrong slowly put the arrows on the bow, and leaned behind the pillars of the corridor to prevent accidents.

Unexpectedly, the man was very vigilant, Huo An had just walked under the window of the study, before he made a move, suddenly a gust of cold wind broke the window paper, and shot straight out from inside, very powerful.

Huo An hurriedly moved away, a writing brush broke out of the window, and inserted into the wooden pillar of the corridor outside the window with a whistling sound.

Good work.

Thinking that this person is very likely to be the murderer, Huo An no longer hides his low profile. He stepped forward and kicked open the door of the study room. Sure enough, he blocked the murderer who was about to flee outside the door .

In the early morning, the light in the corridor was dim, and the two of them fought hand-to-hand. They couldn't see each other's appearance clearly, and they didn't have time to see clearly. Over a dozen tricks.

In the dim light, he could only see that the other party was dressed in black, covered his face with a black scarf, and seemed to be holding something wrapped in a black cloth in his arms. He was very protective and fearful.
