When he thought about it, Zhang Ren felt that his whole body was sore and his energy was not very good. It would be better not to sleep this night. He felt as tired as escaping from pursuit in his dream.
After eating something, he put on his leather armor and carried his embroidered spring knife and headed for Dingyuanfang.
Lin Ling arrived earlier than him today, and the two of them exchanged polite greetings before closing their eyes again to rest.
It is getting dark, and the residents of Dingyuanfang are returning home to sleep one by one. In fact, it is still early and it is not time to go to bed yet. However, the murder case that occurred in Dingyuanfang makes the residents here feel uneasy and fearful. If something bad happens, they will go home early one by one.
The street was calm, but I saw a figure in the distance coming towards the sunset.
Zhang Ren only felt that this scene was extremely beautiful. He rubbed his eyes, trying to see more clearly.
It's just that he didn't expect that the person coming was actually Xu Haoyuan.
Zhang Ren, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, immediately stood up. Lin Ling next to him also opened his eyes and raised his head, asking Zhang Ren, "But what happened?"
Zhang Ren shook his head, but his eyes never left Han Qin. He said softly: "Beautiful, so beautiful."
I don't know whether he said this to Lin Ling or to himself. In short, Lin Ling also followed Zhang Ren's gaze, but he didn't see beauty in his eyes, he only saw a crisis.
Lin Ling frowned and stood up, looking as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
Zhang Ren was puzzled and asked: "Lin Captou? What's wrong with you? Can you be so scared by just one look at a beautiful woman?"
Lin Ling shook her head and said, "Didn't you see that she had nine bags on her body?"
Zhang Ren had seen several small bags tied to the white cloth around Xu Haoyuan's waist, but he didn't pay attention to the specific number. After Lin Ling reminded him, Zhang Ren also counted them unconsciously: "One, two , three...really nine bags?”
Lin Ling nodded, "Nine bags, holding a bamboo pole. Although I don't know who she is in the beggar gang, but I think she also came here for Wang Xiaofei's death. We can't be careless."
Zhang Ren didn't seem to listen at all. He forced Han Qin to walk over. Lin Ling was worried and naturally followed him.
It wasn't until he got close that Zhang Ren said, "What a coincidence. Jinling City is so big, I can meet Miss Xu wherever I go."
Lin Ling on the side looked surprised and asked Zhang Ren, "Do you know him?"
Zhang Ren smiled and nodded, "Of course we know each other, we are all friends."
Xu Haoyuan frowned and looked at Zhang Ren. Seeing that his face was not good, and there were two dark circles under his eyes, she believed in her heart that Zhang Ren was a noble disciple who had been drained by wine and sex. She did not hide her feelings for Zhang Ren at all. Disgusted, he said, "I don't know him."
Although Xu Haoyuan had a cold face, Zhang Ren seemed unable to tell, and still took the initiative to chat: "Miss Xu, Dingyuanfang is quite dangerous. Didn't I tell you before? Otherwise, you should go back to Qingmaoshuang." Bar."
Xu Haoyuan indeed said coldly: "If the murderers came here for the nine bags of gold and silver, then this is the matter of the Beggar Clan. As a member of the Beggar Clan, I should come and take a look."
Lin Ling on the side cupped her hands towards Xu Haoyuan and said, "Lin Ling would like to thank this heroine on behalf of the people of Yingtian Mansion."
….
Xu Haoyuan just nodded and leaned against a fence to take a nap. Zhang Ren was thinking of chatting a few more words, but Lin Ling pulled him over and sat aside.
Zhang Ren waited for Lin Ling and was worried that Xu Haoyuan would be cold at night. He was about to get up and put some clothes on Xu Haoyuan, but Lin Ling held him back.
Zhang Ren was puzzled and quickly asked in a low voice: "Captain Lin, why are you pulling me?"
Lin Ling said directly: "Can't you see that that girl hates you?"
Zhang Ren, however, didn't care much and said: "Captain Lin, you don't understand. Even though you are more than ten years older than me, have you ever heard a sentence? A martyr girl is afraid of stalking her husband!"
Lin Ling used to travel around the world. Although he returned to Jinling these years, he was still busy with official duties, so he still didn't have a wife in his thirties. A man like him naturally didn't understand women. He scratched his head and asked: "Is that so? Are you sure
Are you sure you're not kidding me? "
Zhang Ren immediately nodded solemnly and said: "Of course it is true. After all, I am also a noble son, and there are many women around me. You must listen to me!"
This is purely bragging. Zhang Ren has never had a real woman in his two lives. The most intimate thing was that he kissed Liuli back then. Moreover, his theory is not completely correct. If a woman hates a man, then this No matter how much a man pesters, it's useless.
But Niu Linling, whom Zhang Ren boasted, really believed it.
No matter how big the age gap is between men, it seems that as long as the opposite sex is mentioned, this generation gap will disappear.
One Zhang Ren and Lin Ling really dared to talk and the other dared to believe. They chatted like this for a long time.
When the moon was at its peak, the two of them were still not finished talking, but their conversation was still interrupted.
He saw a black shadow leaping into Dingyuanfang, and then walked swaggering on the street. He naturally saw Zhang Ren, Lin Ling and Xu Haoyuan.
He smiled sinisterly and said, "It's really lively today, so I'll kill the three of you today."
Zhang Ren's pupils narrowed and he looked at the person carefully. He was about forty years old. He was wrapped in black clothes, his face was a little cold, and he had a sword on his back and waist.
Zhang Ren stood up and asked directly towards this person: "Did you kill the seven members of the family in Dingyuanfang and the two watchmen?"
The man didn't hide anything. He nodded and said, "Yes, I killed them all."
Seeing this man's unrepentant expression, Lin Ling was also angry. He asked, "These people have no enmity against you, why do you want to kill them?"
The man raised his eyebrows, "Of course you want to attract the attention of the imperial court. I think you two little guys are also members of the imperial court, right? Well, as long as you can answer my questions, I will consider letting you go tonight."
Zhang Ren curled his lips and looked quite disdainful, "A murderer still has problems?"
This person also directly asked: "Do you know who Red-faced Shura is?"
It was indeed true. This man came to Jinling City because of Wang Xiaofei's death. Zhang Ren and Lin Ling did not say much and directly drew their swords.
This man probably guessed that nothing could be asked. He shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. If I kill more people, I will attract people who know Red-faced Shura."
Lin Ling shouted loudly and slashed at the man with a long knife in his hand.
This man didn't dodge. His palm seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and he directly used his palm to slap Lin Ling's long knife.
Night rivers and lakes.
