"The green-faced tiger is dead."
Pan Xiaojie's eyes widened. The body of an acquaintance was lying in front of him, which shocked him greatly.
After a long time, Pan Xiaoxian's shocked and uncomfortable emotions slowly calmed down.
Zhang Xifeng took out a pair of silk gloves from the small box. After putting on the white gloves, he kept checking the two corpses.
If it weren't for the fact that this was a wild place, Zhang Xifeng would have dissected the two corpses on the spot.
When Zhang Xifeng was inspecting another strange corpse, he suddenly said: "You should be grateful to the green-faced tiger, he helped you avoid the disaster."
Prevent disaster?
Pan Xiaoxian didn't understand what Zhang Xifeng suddenly meant. Could it be that the cause of Qing Mian Hu's death was related to him.
After Zhang Xifeng inspected the strange body, he threw away the silk gloves and regarded them as disposable gloves.
Zhang Xifeng concluded coldly: "Based on the tattoos on the body, we can conclude that this person was Wu Tieta, Wu Gui's personal guard. He died suddenly near the nunnery. There is only one reason."
"Assassination."
Pan Xiaoxian subconsciously said something, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it became: "Because of the last incident, I caused Wu Gui to lose thousands of taels of silver. He held a grudge and sent Wu Tieta who was beside him to assassinate me."
Zhang Xifeng nodded: "It's almost the same, but killing you is just a convenience. Wu Gui's real purpose should be Li Shishi."
Pan Xiaoxian was annoyed and hated Wu Gui even more. Even if he was only targeting him, now he is also targeting his sister-in-law.
What would happen if Li Shishi fell into Wu Gui's hands?
Pan Xiaoxian didn't even dare to think about it.
"Um?"
Zhang Xifeng suddenly squatted down again, took out a piece of silver from Wu Tieta's arms, and observed it carefully.
Zhang Xifeng said coldly: "I have long suspected that the yellow boat that was robbed the year before last was related to Wu Gui, and I guessed it right."
Pan Xiaoxian was excited. Wu Gui was actually involved in the yellow boat case. As long as real evidence could be found, it would be useless no matter how deep the relationship between Wu Gui was.
The Grand Canal from Jinling to the capital, also known as the Cao Canal Road, transported grain from the south of the Yangtze River to the capital.
In addition to transporting food, the Grand Canal also had ships specially used to transport money to the palace. These ships were called yellow ships.
Just the year before last, a major robbery occurred that shocked Jinling. A yellow ship carrying silver was robbed.
That was a whole boatload of silver, an astronomical sum of money.
In order to bring down Wu Gui as soon as possible, Pan Xiaoxian deliberately said: "If Miss Zhang can find out the real culprit of the Yellow Boat Case, she will definitely be promoted."
Zhang Xifeng continued to examine the body and said coldly: "I am not interested in promotion, only in solving the case. There is no need to be careful in front of me. You don't need to tell me, I will do my best to investigate the yellow boat case."
Zhang Xifeng has been dealing with corpses all year round, and her eyes are like sharp knives that can easily remove all a person's coats and see through their inner thoughts.
Pan Xiaoxian was embarrassed when his thoughts were exposed. Fortunately, Zhang Xifeng only saw corpses, which eased his embarrassment a little.
"It's so unlucky that the body was buried, and the young master asked us to dig it out and burn it."
Suddenly there was a sound of complaints in the distance, and several vague figures could be seen through the rain curtain, rushing towards the corpse.
Zhang Xifeng stood up immediately and spoke much faster: "Hurry and take off all the valuable things from both of them, don't let go of their clothes."
Pan Xiaoxian quickly followed suit and snatched away all the valuables as quickly as possible. He also took off their clothes and stuffed them into his arms.
While Zhang Xifeng was taking off his clothes, he whipped the horse's butt hard with a whip, and the carriage quickly left in the opposite direction.
The wheel marks left by the carriage quickly disappeared under the erosion of the heavy rain.
Zhang Xifeng looked at Pan Xiaoxian who was holding a pile of clothes, pointed to a big tree not far away and said: "There is a tree hole there, hide in it quickly."
Before Zhang Xifeng left, he quickly glanced at the two bodies without tearing down the shed.
Make sure there is nothing valuable left and no flaws will be exposed.
Zhang Xifeng also ran towards the tree hole, but before leaving, he reached out and took away the shoes from the two corpses.
"Brother! There seems to be something wrong with the body."
With a shout, several strong men threw away their umbrellas and ran over in the rain.
Several strong men came to the shed and saw that both bodies had been dug out.
A strong man said: "It's over, I was discovered."
The leading strong man carefully inspected the body and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, the poor people nearby probably dug up the body. You see, all the valuables are gone."
After the leading strong man said this, he felt a little worried: "Let's look around to make sure we haven't been discovered by the police in the Yamen."
Pan Xiaoxian and Zhang Xifeng were hiding in a tree hole. The space was small. In order to avoid being discovered by a few strong men, they needed to block the tree hole with bushes.
Zhang Xifeng stepped back. The two of them were almost touching each other, and there was not much gap in the narrow tree hole.
Zhang Xifeng's butt bumped into Pan Xiaoxian's body.
The buttocks were only wearing a layer of tights. They were wet when they ran over just now, and they clung to their buttocks, almost as if they were not wearing anything.
Pan Xiaoxian got up for a run in the morning and wore a pair of loose silk pants, which are very breathable and can easily dissipate heat.
While breathable, it will definitely be very thin and light.
Pan Xiaoxian felt his waist and crotch pressing against Zhang Xifeng's buttocks, and reacted instantly. His whole body felt so hot that it almost melted.
Zhang Xifeng felt herself being pushed by something, frowned her eyebrows, and glanced at Pan Xiaoxian with cold eyes, as if looking at a corpse.
Pan Xiaoxian's breathing became more and more rapid, and he tried hard to control his body's reaction: "Then... what, I wasn't pushing against you, it was you who took the initiative to come closer."
"Shut up."
Zhang Xifeng said coldly and looked outside the tree hole. Several strong men were looking for people not far away.
Pan Xiaoxian didn't dare to speak anymore, so he could only twist his body and try to stay away from Zhang Xifeng's buttocks.
The two of them were completely stuck together, with no room to move.
Pan Xiaoxian did not move his body away. As he twisted, his waist and hips began to rub against each other, and the pleasant feeling of physical contact came over him like a wave.
Zhang Xifeng's jade-like face gradually showed a hint of pink.
Pan Xiaoxian couldn't control it anymore, and slowly held Zhang Xifeng's waist with both hands, trying to do something even more outrageous.
Pan Xiaoxian felt his body burning: "I can't stand it anymore. If anyone can resist the temptation, then he is not a normal man."
Just as Pan Xiaoxian's hands were holding Zhang Xifeng's thin waist, he felt a stinging pain in his wrists, and his heart began to tingle.
Zhang Xifeng's hands were holding two sharp knives at some point, and they were gently placed on Pan Xiaoxian's wrist.
With just one pick, Pan Xiaoxian's hand tendon could be broken.
