Although the door was only opened half the size of the face, the group of people outside could still see the beautiful body inside the door, and the fair skin under the blue silk gauze, which made people's blood rush!
One of them asked in an excited tone, "Madam, I just heard that miserable scream, it seems to be coming from you, so we all come here to see if you are in any danger!"
"Scream? No!" the woman inside said in a soft voice, "Did you hear it wrong?"
"No! We heard it very clearly," the person standing in front rubbed his hands, "I'm just afraid that someone might do something wrong here, Madam!"
"Oh, thank you so much for caring so much about me, a widow!"
The widow in the room let out a gasp, then chuckled.
She opened the door and glanced at those people with her charming eyes, "I didn't hear that sound, but tea was brewing at home. If you don't mind, just come in and have some. I'll have to rely on you later." Please take care of me!"
The door was opened to about the width of the widow's body. What made everyone even more excited was that the woman's clothes revealed her plump and graceful figure.
The widow stood in front of the door with one hand on the door. She was only wearing a long tube top skirt. The pair of peaks were round and full, and there was a deep invisible groove on her chest. Plus that charming smile, it made everyone present. The people were stunned and drooled unconsciously.
This woman's skin is fair and smooth, and it seems that she can squeeze out water with just a gentle squeeze.
The woman turned sideways and made a respectful gesture.
"I don't mind, I don't mind, I happen to be a little thirsty!"
"Yeah!"
Someone pushed the people-pleasers away with a look of disdain, "We are here to see if this lady is safe. Since she is fine, we can rest assured."
He pointed at everyone, "How can something like drinking tea be compared with the safety of my wife?"
"Then don't go," the man was pushed to the back.
"Stop making noise! It's unbecoming for a bunch of people to make noise here," someone in the crowd shouted again,
"Since this lady is fine and has prepared tea, it would be disrespectful for me to refuse."
Some people walked directly in. Seeing this, others became restless and pushed them in.
"Don't push, what are you doing, I'll go in first!"
The door was suddenly crowded with several people, and someone pushed it open from behind.
"Let me go first!"
"Why, I go first!" These people all wanted to go in and grab a good seat.
While they were pushing and shoving, they stared intently at the woman standing by the door.
In those people's minds, the charming woman was already sipping tea, talking loudly, and shouting continuously.
The woman raised her slender hand and said, "You don't have to fight so much. There are plenty of seats inside, but there are only two seats next to me."
Upon hearing this, these men became even more excited, and everyone wanted to grab the position.
"Go away, that position is mine!"
"It's mine, what qualifications do you have to snatch it from me!"
The short watchman couldn't squeeze in behind the excited crowd. He cursed and then knocked the gong in his hand hard. The sudden sound made everyone scramble to get in. Those people were stunned for a moment, fearing that the sound would attract other people again.
They turned their attention to the watchman and glared at him.
The woman straightened her chest, smiled, rubbed her hands gently on her shoulders and thighs, and said in a voice that made people feel numb, "Stop fighting, come in slowly one by one."
Those people stopped pushing and walked neatly into the house without any suspicion.
"Let us enjoy the tea brewed by this lady."
After everyone outside came in, the woman closed the door gently. A gust of wind came and scattered her hair. Her beautiful eyes suddenly disappeared, leaving only the gray eye whites, and the skin on her face also dimmed.
In the early morning in Kyoto, after a night of drizzle, the green leaves were covered with water drops, crystal clear, like pearls.
In the Demon Slayer Prison of the Demon Slayer Division, Li Huaiyun was pacing back and forth in the prison. He stayed there all night and no one came. What else did he want to explain? There was no need to explain anything now.
What he didn't expect was that no one even came to see Mu Yuan. Why was this woman also the helmsman and Sikyong's female apprentice? Why was she completely ignored now.
Mu Yuan was lying on the stone bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She sat up and yawned. The old man said, "Didn't I just do a favor? Why are you locking me here? No one is coming." Take care.
She looked at Li Huaiyun who was still walking back and forth and said, "Can you stop walking back and forth! It's so annoying! If you have time, why not talk to me about the mechanics theory? Oh, and what you mentioned about using steam as power. , to drive the machinery.”
Li Huaiyun licked his mouth. His mouth was already dry at this time. He and Mu Yuan talked about knowledge for most of the night last night. He didn't expect that this woman would be so interested in this, even a grown man like him would be ashamed.
He had poured most of his knowledge into Mu Yuan, but this woman still asked for it from him without giving him any time to rest.
The two of them were alone in the same room, but they lived like pure brothers.
"We're still talking! Can you let me take a break? There are too many things, and you have to digest them slowly. As the saying goes, haste makes waste."
Mu Yuan blinked her beautiful big eyes and tilted her head, "I'm absorbing it and learning it without delaying things."
Of course there is no delay for you!
"Stop it! I'm sleepy, tired, and hungry now, and I can't talk anymore. Moreover, this knowledge must be combined with other aspects of knowledge, so I can't explain it clearly at the moment.
Your eagerness to learn is very cute, but it is not a good attitude towards learning. "
Mu Yuan pursed her lips and explained, "What's so cute about it? It's mainly because it's too slow to wait for you to write out all the mechanics theory. Besides, you're around, so there's no reason not to make good use of it!"
"Don't let me come out all at once!"
Mu Yuan looked at Li Huaiyun with admiration, "Okay, okay! I listen to you! I won't advise you to teach mechanics theory anymore."
She sighed, "I wonder how long the old man will keep us here? Why would we come here to take a look!"
Who knows! Li Huaiyun thought to himself that he could only hope that the fox demon would say that there would be another case in Kyoto, so they would have no choice but to come to us.
They waited in the prison for another long time, and it was not until the afternoon that they heard footsteps coming from the dark corridor.
At this time, Li Huaiyun breathed a sigh of relief, "Here we come! We have a chance to go out!"
"Really?" Mu Yuan stood up and looked at the dim corridor, thinking that she could finally leave this disgusting and miserable place. .
Then he saw two guards, Qin Gang, walking up with two guards. He ordered the guards to open the prison door.
"Old man! I knew you would come!" Mu Yuan walked out without saying a word, with an angry look on his face. He was imprisoned for a day for no reason. No matter how he thought about it, he felt upset.
Qin Gang waved to the two guards and motioned them to wait outside, and he would take them out.
The guard clasped his fists as a gesture, and then walked outside.
After the guard walked away, he said to Mu Yuan who was standing at the door, "Mu Yuan! You still knew I would come. Next time you accompany this guy to mess around with me, don't become the helmsman of Qianji Pavilion for me." ”
"oh!"
Li Huaiyun walked out of the prison and immediately apologized, "Sikyong, don't blame Mu Yuan, the helmsman. I asked her to help."
"And you, if you have other ideas next time, just say so. I'm not the kind of unreasonable person."
"Yes, Sikyong! I just feel that the fewer people know about this matter, the better."
Li Huaiyun told Qin Gang his previous speculations. His words made Sikyong frown and fell into deep thought.
"Do you think the Demon Slayer Division has an inside job?"
"We don't know for the time being, but there are many people with mixed eyes, so you have to pay more attention!" Li Huaiyun asked, "Um, Sikyong, you come to me now, has something happened?"
Qin Gang told the final result of the case of colluding with monsters. The official who colluded with monsters and killed many women was sentenced to death, his property was confiscated, and all the female family members rushed into the Jiaofang Division.
The problem in Xiakou Town has also been solved. The local government officials have replaced their responsible officials and started growing food again.
And at this time, Kyoto was on full alert after nightfall, and there was no curfew for the time being. As a reward for investigating the truth of the case, he also gave silver taels and cloth as rewards.
Ha ha! As long as the reward comes, if my aunt is still not respectful to me, I will do whatever I ask her to do.
Qin Gang finally said, "However, if you release the fox demon privately, those rewards will have to be withheld first!"
"Ah! When can I get it back?"
"It depends on your performance, or we may continue to investigate the case."
"What else is there to investigate? The most we can do is go to the Criminal Department to see if there are any cases involving burning people to death in the past two years."
"There are others besides this!" Qin Gang shook his gray beard and said loudly, "Now, there is a case near a private house in Kyoto. It is probably caused by a monster. I will send you to investigate now!"
Sure enough, there was a case, and the fox demon was right. Li Huaiyun immediately cheered up. Since it was a monster, there must be something weird about this case.
He asked, "What is the case? Can you briefly explain it?"
"In a residential area in Kyoto, there were corpses on several streets. One of them was a watchman. Their deaths were a bit weird. They should have been caused by monsters."
"Since it's what a monster calls it, why not continue to investigate."
"Because apart from some external clues, I don't know what these corpses have done before." Qin Gang sighed, "That's why I thought of you! I hope you can make up for it again this time!"
"You don't have to stay in prison any longer, otherwise you will be entering the palace for the second time!"
"My subordinates will do their best to investigate the case clearly." Li Huaiyun clasped his fists in salute, and then asked, "Um, Sikyong, does the silver tael that was previously rewarded still count?"
"It doesn't matter the last time. If you solve the case this time, let alone two months' salary, you will be given half a year's salary. That's what you should do!"
