Probably because the gift was too big, the housekeeper was only focused on receiving the gift and didn't even notice to stop the strangely dressed person like Shen Tuyi.
The two of them successfully entered Shen's house, and the yard in front of them was packed with people.
The servants and maids of the Shen family were all dressed in new clothes.
The birthday of the eldest lady looked no different from the birthday of the emperor, and the whole mansion celebrated it together.
Walking among the crowd, the smile on Ye Lu's face disappeared, and his clear eyes were covered with a ray of worry.
The two of them walked towards the edge of the yard, and then turned onto the corridor.
People were passing by before and after.
The Shen family was indeed very lively today.
"What happened to you just now?"
Ye Lu remained silent, but Shen Tuyi simply asked first.
Ye Lu frowned slightly and turned to look at him, "I think something might happen today."
"What?"
Through the black gauze, Shen Tuyi could also see her worried face.
"Something bloody may happen, so be careful."
She wasn't sure, but as soon as she stepped through the door of Shen's house, she felt like it, and it felt a little familiar.
"For a while, try to stay in a crowded place and don't wander around."
Shen Tuyi's voice was very low.
He had to go do things alone.
Ye Lu was not safe alone.
"Yeah."
Nodding, Ye Lu stopped laughing.
This feeling was too familiar.
After looking around, Shen Tuyi walked away the next moment.
Ye Lu watched his figure disappear at the end of the corridor and couldn't help but sigh.
It was estimated that something bloody would really happen today.
The moment she stepped into the door of Shen's house, her eyes were filled with blood.
It was pure blood and the color was scary.
Although she didn't faint from blood, when this scene suddenly appeared, she couldn't even think about it without fainting.
There are more and more people in this mansion, and they are noisy.
They are all famous people in the mountain city, and Ye Lu has heard about them.
"Ye Lu" Suddenly, a female voice came from behind, very softly.
Turning around, she saw a woman about her age walking over.
She was wearing a pink dress and had a graceful figure.
Looking at her, Ye Lu's eyes slid from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
This woman was rich and stable, and her life would be stable and smooth in this life.
"You don't remember me, but I remember you.
Four years ago, my father took me to ask Mr.
Ye Xun for help.
At that time, we played all afternoon."
Walking over, the woman tilted her head and looked at Ye Lu with a smile. , said while saying.
Ye Lu thought about it, then nodded, "I remembered, Miss Mu."
He remembered who the girl in front of him was, a lady from a scholarly family.
It is said that her ancestors had been officials.
"You don't need to call me miss.
We played all afternoon and you kept calling me by my name."

Mu Qingruo shook her head, not happy to be so exposed.
"Okay, Qingruo.
You are also here to celebrate the birthday of Mrs.
Shen's family today."
Nodding, Ye Lu raised his eyebrows and looked extremely sweet.
"My father dragged me here, saying that I might meet a good young man and let me have a look."
As he spoke, Mu Qingruo showed a slightly contemptuous look.
"Young master, I don't see any young master at the moment.
There are a lot of old men with big bellies."
I looked at the crowded place, but there was no decent young master anywhere.
"Not talking about these people, just that Fu Shu, whenever I think about it, I feel that I have no love in my life.
No man in this world can be relied on."
Mu Qingruo shook his head slightly, with a pityful tone.
Ye Lu looked at her and said suddenly: "It turns out that you were also infatuated with Fu Shu back then.
I guess the girls who were infatuated with him back then are all heartbroken now.
I heard that he married Mrs.
Shen's family "Yeah."
Lowering his voice, Ye Lu started gossiping.
Mu Qingruo nodded and also lowered his voice: "Yes, they are in that position.
But to the outside world, Fu Shu is the manager of the Shen family business.
But everyone knows that he is not a manager at all, he is just a manager.
He's just a pretty girl raised by the eldest lady."
Mu Qingruo didn't deny that she was infatuated with Fu Shu.
This was not a shameful thing.
At that time, most of the unmarried girls in the mountain city were infatuated with him.
"In two years, he has become so virtuous, and his graceful demeanor has disappeared."
It's a pity when you think about it.
"What a graceful person, but seeing him now makes me sick.
At Mrs.
Shen's age, she can be his mother.
The two of them are so entangled.
Just imagining it makes my skin crawl."
Mu Qingruo said.
He pouted.
Ye Lu chuckled, his eyebrows curved, "Then how did they hook up in the first place?"
"I don't know the specifics, and the stories in the city are mostly different.
But the original reason seems to be that Fu Shu's father suddenly became ill two years ago, and he had no money for treatment.
Then somehow, Mrs.
Shen became ill.
After giving him some money, that's it.
"Shanshou, in this world, it doesn't matter whether a woman or a man has money.
"So that's it."
Nodding, as long as it has something to do with money, everything makes sense.
"It's Mrs.
Shen's birthday today, and Fu Shu will appear soon.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
You have to take a closer look, he is nothing like before."
Mu Qingruo seemed to still be mourning the jade-like young man back then.
"There are so many people.
He looks like a small underground vat.
He must be buried.
Hey, those people are not from our mountain city.
I have never seen them."
Looking into the crowd, Ye Lu noticed a few unfamiliar faces.
Mu Qingruo also looked over, then shook his head, "I don't know him, he must be from out of town."
Looking at them one by one, Ye Lu frowned slightly, "They all have martial arts skills, they are not ordinary people."
"Your eyes are really useful.
Although you are not as wise as Mr.
Ye Xun, you are not ordinary."
Mu Qingruo looked at her with surprise.
"Your eyes are also extraordinary.
You saw through them so quickly."
Ye Lu smiled.
She likes to hear flattery from others.
Mu Qingruo's laughter was pleasant.
The two of them stood on the corridor, watching more and more people, gossiping from time to time, and Ye Lu felt much more relaxed.
Before Shen Tuyi came back, the host who was celebrating his birthday came over.
Ye Lu and Mu Qingruo immediately opened their eyes wide.
Mu Qingruo and Mu Qingruo immediately opened their eyes and looked.
Although they were farther away, they could still see clearly.
"That's Mrs.
Shen.
Look at her, she looks quite young."
Pointing to the group of people walking out, one of the beautiful women was Mrs.
Shen.
She is well-maintained and looks to be less than forty years old.
She has a luxurious dress and exquisite hair and makeup.
I believe she looked quite beautiful when she was young.
Behind her were all the stewards of the Shen Family Trading Company, including Fu Shu.
With his current appearance, he is definitely not considered high-ranking among the people in charge.
He is like a small vat.
Because Mrs.
Shen appeared, all the guests and friends who came to celebrate today came over and started to congratulate.
For a while, it was very lively.
Ye Lu looked at them one by one.
Leaving aside the guests and friends, no one from the Shen family showed up except the eldest lady.
The eldest lady of the Shen family is now the one who covers the sky with one hand, and it seems that this is indeed the case at the moment.
She is in charge of a family and all the businesses in the country.
This woman is really not simple.
While chatting with the guests and friends who came up to congratulate her on her birthday, Mrs.
Shen spoke in a measured manner, and she still had the aura of the head of the family between her brows and eyes.

"Ye Lu, have you seen the hairpin on Mrs.
Shen's head?
It is said to be from Dajin and is priceless."
Mu Qingruo sighed while looking at the shining golden hairpin on Mrs.
Shen's head.
Women love these shiny jewelry.
"The Shen family of Dajin also has business dealings with Dajin."
Shen Tuyi seems to have never found out the source of this secret.
"Probably.
A few years ago, I heard that the Shen family entertained guests from Dajin."
Mu Qingruo nodded, probably.
Frowning slightly, if Da Jin really had something to do with Da Jin, or even secretly cheated on him, that would be the sin of annihilating three clans.
Shen Tuyi is still here to investigate.
If he really finds out something, he will definitely kill everyone in the Shen family.
Looking at Mrs.
Shen again, she was very impressive, slightly cold and aloof.
Looking at Fu Shu again, this small vat has been following Mrs.
Shen like a bodyguard.
The other stewards exchanged pleasantries with the guests and friends, but Fu Shu said nothing.
In Ye Lu's opinion, Mrs.
Shen is a very capable person.
However, it seems that her previous life must have been very difficult and she was a late bloomer.
"What a pity for a handsome and handsome man."
Mu Qingruo still sighed.
Fu Shu was very famous in this mountain city back then.
He is talented and handsome.
"The most important thing about this man is his appearance.
The Lord of Yangcheng, who is known as the handsome man in the South, is a peach blossom essence, full of peach blossoms.
If a woman is contaminated, her life will be ruined."
Ye Lu has many interesting ideas.
Suspected of betraying Yang Yi, I would like to advise women all over the world not to be fooled by his name and appearance.
"I've seen it before, and I passed by City Master Shentu on Yangcheng Street.
City Master Shentu was riding a carriage.
I didn't see what he looked like, but City Master Yang was riding a white horse.
He was indeed a beautiful man from the South."
Thinking of it, Mu Qingruo I couldn't help but laugh, that was definitely a handsome man.
Turning to look at Mu Qingruo's expression, Ye Lu couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
Look, she said Yang Yi was a peach blossom essence.
No female can refuse him and is powerless to resist.
Over there, after Mrs.
Shen exchanged greetings with the guests and friends, everyone began to move towards the place where the banquet would be held today.
Ye Lu and Mu Qingruo looked at each other, and then they followed side by side.
Although they didn't like the scene today, they had to eat the banquet.
The banquet was held in the east wing of Shen Mansion.
The main hall was where important people sat, and there were more than a dozen banquet tables placed outside.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Ye Lu and Mu Qingruo found a seat at the far side and sat down.
They looked around and saw that there was still no sign of Shen Tuyi.
Ye Lu couldn't help but feel worried.
Who knows what he is going to investigate, but there are many nursing homes in the Shen family, so I just hope he doesn't get discovered.
If there was a conflict and his identity as the city lord was exposed, it would be ugly.
The dignified city lord came here in disguise and sneaked around, but his face was gone.
The dishes were served one by one, and there were especially many maids and servants from the Shen family walking around the banquet hall.
In just a moment, the table was filled with dishes.
As expected of a wealthy family, the dishes on the table are all of top quality, especially the last dish, a boy's birthday present, which is decorated with an oversized radish carved in the middle of the plate, which is very beautiful.
Ye Lu couldn't help but sigh, she had never eaten such an exaggerated dish in the City Lord's Mansion.
Mu Qingruo comes from a scholarly family, and there are people around her, so she behaves herself.
Ye Lu kept looking around because she felt an inexplicable coldness on the back of her neck, which was not a good sign.
Suddenly, when Mrs.
Shen's voice came from the main hall, a scream penetrated the sky.
Ye Lu shook his shoulders and stood up immediately.
"What's going on?"
Over in the main hall, the butler walked quickly to the door and shouted.
After a moment, a boy stumbled over and passed between the banquet tables.
He was too panicked and knocked over the plates on the table.
"Butler, madam, it's not good, someone is dead."
The boy ran to the door of the main hall, and sat down on the ground without even climbing the steps.
He was frightened and his whole face turned pale.
"He's dead."
Upon hearing that he was dead, all the guests and friends immediately whispered to each other.
Death is not unusual for them, but it is indeed unusual for people to die at this time.
In the main hall, Mrs.
Shen took the lead, followed by all the stewards, and immediately headed towards the place where the dead person was.
Ye Lu also stood up immediately, and the guests and friends at the banquet also followed one after another.
A birthday banquet was interrupted.
The place where the dead body was found was the Shen family's hall, which was usually used for Mrs.
Shen to discuss matters with other managers.
The decoration is gorgeous, and the floor tiles seem to be coated with gold powder, which is extremely luxurious.
At this moment, a man was lying in the center of the hall, face down, with blood spreading from under him, like a blooming red lotus.
Onlookers stopped outside the hall to watch, while Mrs.
Shen walked into the hall.
After Mrs.
Shen gave the order, the two nursing staff turned the body over, and the guests and friends who were watching turned it over again.
The guests and friends who were watching let out sighs again.
This was the second son of the Shen family.
Mrs.
Shen's husband was the eldest son and passed away four years ago.
There are also the Second Young Master and the Fourth Young Master in this mansion, but the Shen family's business is all controlled by the eldest lady.
It is conceivable that these Second Young Master and the Fourth Young Master have no rights.
Moreover, it is Mrs.
Shen's birthday today, and the second and fourth young masters did not show up, which shows that the relationship is not good.

Now, it is really strange that the second young master died here.
Listening to the people around him talking, Ye Lu frowned and secretly prayed that this was not done by Shen Tuyi.
"Madam, it's the second young master, what do you think we should do?"
The housekeeper also looked embarrassed.
It seemed that he was embarrassed not about who died, but that something like this happened on this day.
"Report to the official."
Mrs.
Shen was calm and composed.
A dead person in front of her did not have any impact on her.
"Yes."
The housekeeper immediately agreed, and then sent someone to report it to the official.
Ye Lu stood at the door and watched, his eyes passing over the faces of everyone in the hall.
The stewards were surprised, and two of them were more afraid.
They should be afraid of the corpse.
And that Fu Shu, although now like a small vat, is still as frail as before.
But he was not afraid of the corpse.
Instead, he stood beside Mrs.
Shen, looking very determined.
He turned around and looked around, but there was still no sign of Shen Tuyi.
Ye Lu slowly backed away, preparing to leave to find Shen Tuyi.
"Ye Lu, where are you going?"
As soon as she stepped back to the edge, her sleeve was grabbed by Mu Qingruo.
"I'm afraid of corpses.
I can't look at them anymore and go get some air."
Ye Lu lied.
"Don't wander around.
I just saw the guards in this mansion coming.
If you wander around, be careful of being arrested as a murderer."
Mu Qingruo was also scared.
In front of her was her father, standing tightly against her.
Behind Dad, he didn't dare to look into the hall.
Hearing this, Ye Lu became even more anxious, nodded, and turned around to leave.
Because all the guests, friends, maids and servants ran to the hall, except for the nursing home, the place they passed was extremely clean.
Ye Lu avoided guarding the courtyard while looking around, looking for Shen Tuyi.
But I don’t know where this guy went, and there was no trace of him at all.
The person who died was the second son of the Shen family, Mrs.
Shen’s brother-in-law.
Why did he die?
Who would benefit from his death?
With these things in his mind, Ye Lu slipped to the end of the corridor.
Go down, then follow the cobblestone path to a small building.
Sticking to the door and looking around for a while, Ye Lu was ready to move to another place to have a look, not wanting to suddenly hear someone talking in the small building.
Immediately pricking up his ears, Ye Lu pressed tightly against the door panel, and the sounds inside became clearer.
"The second brother is dead, and I will be next.
This woman is cruel and ruthless."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
A man's voice was full of panic and hatred.
"Don't worry, we just need to do it before she does it, and all the family property will be ours."
A woman's voice was thin but vicious.
"If you want to attack her, don't forget, there are so many masters around her, it's difficult to get close to her."
The man found it difficult.
"Hmph, only you can use such stupid methods.
You can't fight head-on, you can only outwit them."
The woman seemed to have other ideas.
"Then tell me, how to outwit him?"
The man snorted coldly, obviously irritable.
"Look, as long as you don't forget when the time comes, I will own half of the Shen family's fortune.
If you break your promise, then I will have to outsmart you one more time."
The woman felt quite proud.
"Look at you, you have begun to doubt my loyalty even before you succeed.
I can live safely in the Shen family until now only because of your intelligence.
Don't worry, little baby, as long as you don't learn that Woman, you can do whatever you want."
The man coaxed, making the woman laugh.
Ye Lu frowned.
From what he meant, this man was probably the Fourth Young Master.
This woman, his wife No wonder Mrs.
Shen wants the lives of the second and fourth young masters.
They should also be looking for opportunities to kill her.
It all depends on who is smarter and has faster hands.
For now, Mrs.
Shen is faster, and the second young master is already dead.
With the cat crouching, Ye Lu planned to sneak away as soon as possible to avoid being caught.
Along the right side of the small building, Ye Lu moved towards the back, but who knew that when she turned the corner, her head suddenly hit a hard object.
The forward posture of the cat-like waist was stuck there, and Ye Lu secretly screamed in his heart.
He glanced at a pair of boots right in front of him.
Purple and gold were connected, and they were extremely luxurious.
She didn't recognize these boots, so this was also a stranger.
Ye Lu immediately turned around and retreated, but she only had time to take a step forward.
The next moment, the back of her neck tightened, and she was pulled back.
With her feet off the ground, she was picked up and pressed against a pillar at the corner of the small building.
With his face pressed against the pillar, Ye Lu didn't know who the person behind him was, but he was so strong, which showed that he had some skills, so he was no match for her.
"Hero, please forgive me.
I just lost my way.
I definitely didn't come here to eavesdrop."
She quickly begged for mercy, and she opened her arms to hug the pillar like a koala.
"But I'm here to eavesdrop."
A slightly soft male voice came from behind the head, and the voice sounded as pleasant as a spring breeze.
"Ah...
Hero, you are so informal, haha.
I don't know who the hero is, and I haven't seen the hero's face.
Hero, please let me go."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
He begged for mercy.
In this regard, Ye Lu felt that he could be called model.
Being oppressed by Shen Tuyi, she is now extremely good at begging for mercy.
"Shh, keep your voice down."
The man behind him seemed to be getting closer, and his voice was pleasant.
Swallowing, Ye Lu nodded, "Okay, okay, whatever the hero says is fine.
Well, let me go first, I will never tell anyone."
"Really, what if I let you go and you run out and immediately shout that there is a thief here?"
The man's voice was very soft, and it sounded like he was not afraid of Ye Lu at all.
"How could I do such a thing?
Although I am timid, I have the guts to He is young, but deep down he longs for a hero in the forest.
A hero would never do such a thing that goes back on his word.
Hero, please let me go.
I still have an infant at home who needs my care.
"Ye Lu is extremely good at nonsense.
The person carrying her relaxed slightly, and Ye Lu's dangling feet slowly landed on the ground.
He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that nothing big happened today.
Fortune tellers have never been able to predict themselves.
If they could, she would definitely not step into the Shen family's door today.
"That... hero, I haven't seen your face, and I don't know who you are.
Even if we meet face to face in the future, I won't recognize you.
Just let me go, and we will pretend that we have never met. ."
As he spoke, Ye Lu let go of the hand holding the pillar and slowly stretched it towards his back.
Little by little, inch by inch, she vaguely touched the sleeve of the person behind her.
As long as he can catch his hand, Ye Lu can remember him.
It's easy to find him.
However, when she was about to touch that hand, her back suddenly relaxed and the man let go.
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Ye Lu also retracted his hand, "Thank you for not killing the hero.
Thank you.
I don't know, can I leave now?"
He asked in a low voice, but received no response.
Biting his lip, Ye Lu touched the pillar in front of him and moved slightly to the side, "Hero, I'm leaving."
Taking another step, Ye Lu felt that he was surrounded by an evil spirit for no reason.
Turning around suddenly, a tall dark figure stood behind her, with a bamboo hat and black gauze covering his face.
It was not Shen Tuyi.
"What are you doing?"
A low and cold voice floated out from behind the veil.
Shen Tuyi saw her standing here alone from a distance, talking to herself.
"You're back, that person was you just now."
She lowered her head and looked at Shen Tuyi's boots.
They were dark-colored and embroidered with gold thread, not the pair she saw just now.
"There was someone just now."
Shen Tuyi's voice became even colder.
"Well, he said he was eavesdropping."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
He pointed back at the small building.
There weren't many people who openly admitted that they were eavesdropping.
"What about you?"
Although you can't see his face, you can still imagine his expression under the black veil.
"Coming to see you, someone died over there.
It wasn't you, right?"
Looking up at him, Ye Lu felt a little doubtful.
"Of course not.
Did you see that man's face?"
He denied that he did not kill anyone.
"I didn't see it.
If I saw it, do you think I would still be alive?
I wanted to touch his hand, but he avoided it, otherwise I would definitely know who he was."
It was a bit regretful.
After a moment of pause, Shen Tuyi grabbed Ye Lu's arm and said, "Let's go."
Led by Shen Tuyi, the two of them walked through the huge mansion without encountering anyone.
In the front hall, the guests and friends watching the excitement are still there.
Before anyone from the government came, Shen Tuyi took the opportunity to take Ye Lu away from Shen Mansion.
They were too busy and no one stopped them.
"I just felt something was wrong.
Something bloody happened today.
Sure enough, it's not what I expected.
But it's okay if it wasn't you.
The dignified city lord, acting like a thief is already embarrassing enough.
Then you kill people secretly.
"What's it like?"
Walking home along the alley, Ye Lu relaxed a lot and started talking.
Shen Tuyi didn't pay attention to her, and his face couldn't be seen clearly under the black veil.
"The second young master should have been killed by Mrs.
Shen.
There are only two members of the Shen family left, the second young master and the fourth young master.
They must have been trying to wrest the power of their business back from Mrs.
Shen, and they will definitely do it if they get the opportunity.
Kill her.
So, it was reasonable for her to strike first.
In charge of such a large family business, killing a lot of people is nothing.
"How are you sure it was Mrs.
Shen's hand?
When the banquet was held in the east chamber, there was no one in the west chamber or the hall."
Shen Tuyi spoke in a cold voice.
"Is it true that so many servants and nurses from the Shen family have all gone to the east chamber?"
He frowned.
Is this deliberately emptying the house?
"I walked freely and didn't bump into anyone."
At least, Shen Tuyi didn't bump into anyone.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
"That was not done by the Fourth Young Master.
He was talking to a woman and I heard it.
According to what he meant, the Second Young Master was killed by Madam Shen."
Ye Lu blinked.
In fact, it was Madam Shen who was most suspicious.
"The government will investigate these matters, it is none of your business."
Shen Tuyi was not interested in who killed the second young master.
He curled his lips and said, "Mr.
City Lord, have you found what you want to find?
I heard that the Shen family seems to have dealings with businessmen from Da Jin.
Isn't this private salt also shared by Da Jin?"
From Mu Qingruo The news he heard told Shen Tuyi, and Ye Lu felt it was very troublesome.
Merchants are very profit-oriented.
If Dajin continues to infiltrate, there is no guarantee that more and more merchants will follow suit and pour money into the country.
"Yes."
Shen Tuyi replied with a single tone, and Ye Lu immediately turned to look at him.
"I really have something to do with Da Jin, and no one cares about normal business, but to do illegal business with Da Jin.
Isn't this considered treason?"
It's too much of a crime.
There was no further answer, and Shen Tuyi said nothing more.
Ye Lu snorted.
She had never been to Dajin.
If she had the chance, she would really like to visit it.
It was said that the people of Dajin, both men and women, were very tough, but she couldn't imagine how tough they were.
Back in the courtyard, Shen Tuyi disappeared.
Ye Lu drank water while checking the potted plants in the yard.
The yellowing situation became more and more serious.
As long as Shen Tuyi is around, these little green beings will not live long, which is simply a crime.
Shaking his head, Ye Lu moved the potted plants one by one to his room.
I don't know if it works, but you can try it.
She is a person with nine lives and a weed life, with strong vitality.
I remember that in the past, when Ye Xun was alive, he would always get some dying animals and throw them into her room while she was sleeping.
Then after a night, those little animals became more energetic.
At that time, she only thought that the old man Ye Xun was a bit evil, but now thinking about it, it should be because of her nine-life constitution.
One night passed, and early in the morning, Ye Lu got up from the bed Get out of bed.
I went to take a look at the potted plants for the first time.
Sure enough, the areas near the roots were no longer yellow.
Laughing, Ye Lu casually stroked her messy long hair, "I am really talented."
But when she thought about it, she couldn't help but worry that it was because of this that someone outside wanted to arrest her.
While he was feeling melancholy, the sound of the door being knocked suddenly came from outside.
Ye Lu shook his shoulders and ran to the door of the room.
"Open the door, Ye Lu, open the door."
A sharp voice came from outside the door, accompanied by the sound of banging on the door.
Frowning, Ye Lu turned to look at the door of the small hall.
After a moment, a plainclothes guard came out and opened the door.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The door opened, and the officers and soldiers rushed in immediately, filling the courtyard in the blink of an eye.
An officer and soldier pulled out a big sword and put it on the neck of the plainclothes black-armored soldier.
It was early in the morning, and there was a flash of sword and sword.
"Where's Ye Lu?"
A middle-aged man wearing a dark indigo official robe walked in.
Ye Lu couldn't help but be even more surprised when he saw it.
He was actually the governor of the mountain city.
This early in the morning, even the governor came here in person.
What kind of wind was blowing?
"That's me."
Her long hair was messy and wrapped around her pink and white face, making her look petite and sweet.
As she spoke out, two officers and soldiers immediately ran over, pulled out their swords and put them on her neck.
Ye Lu shook his shoulders, "What does this mean?"
"What do you mean there was a murder case in the Shen family yesterday.
I checked the list of all the guests, but you, Ye Lu, ran away before the government arrived.
I said, you didn't wait for the government to investigate but ran away first.
Do you have a guilty conscience?
"Fu Yin's belly was slightly protruding, and he asked sternly, and every word made sense.
Ye Lu glanced at the knife placed on his neck, "Master Fu Yin seems to be quite reasonable.
He ran away first, which is very suspicious."
"So, you have admitted your crime of murder."
Being praised, the governor felt a little proud.
Ye Lu curled his lips, "How can I, a weak woman, kill a man?
However, the people traveling with me can."
"Where is my companion?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Yin raised his eyebrows.
Ye Lu raised his hand and pointed at the small hall, indicating to Mr.
Fu Yin that he could do whatever he wanted.
"Let's go."
Fu Yin waved his hand and led the officers and soldiers immediately towards the small hall.
Ye Lu rolled his eyelids and was a little overjoyed.
He counted down silently, guessing whether Fu Yin would wet his pants.
Sure enough, in less than five seconds, Fu Yin slowly retreated.
The one who forced him to retreat was Shen Tuyi, who was filled with evil spirits.
His brows were stern and sinister.
With a pop, Fu Yin knelt down directly on the ground, "I would like to greet the city lord.
I don't know that the city lord is here.
I am guilty."
As Fu Yin finished speaking, the officers and soldiers in the courtyard also knelt on the ground. .
The knife on his neck was removed, Ye Lu raised his hand and touched it, "You want to solve the case as soon as possible and find a scapegoat, but that's not how you find it, right?
The second son of the Shen family is tall and thick.
No matter how strong I am, I can't kill him.
Him" "Yes, yes, I know my mistake."
Fu Yin immediately admitted his mistake, but his attitude was not as arrogant as before.
Shen Tuyi looked over slowly, his eyes running across her disheveled hair, "Go and wash up quickly, otherwise, the birds will definitely make a nest on your head."

Ye Lu pulled the corners of his lips and smiled, "As long as you are here, Lord City Lord, the little birds will not come."
Hearing this, Shen Tuyi's face turned cold, and Ye Lu immediately sneered, "Okay, I'll go freshen up right away."
She turned around and walked back to the room.
"Come in."
After glancing at Fu Yin who was kneeling on the ground, Shen Tuyi turned and returned to the small hall.
Fu Yin immediately got up and followed him quickly.
After washing up, Ye Lu walked out of the room.
The officers and soldiers were standing at attention in the yard.
They were not as arrogant as before.
I can't help but laugh, why is the governor of this mountain city getting more and more stupid, even though he clearly remembers that he was pretty good before.
The small hall was occupied, plainclothes and black-armored soldiers were also inside, and breakfast was missing.
Ye Lu walked around the yard twice, and finally decided that it would be more reliable to find food by herself, otherwise she would starve to death.
After walking out of the house and looking both ways, Ye Lu walked briskly towards the street.
It happened that an old man selling sesame cakes passed by carrying a load.
Ye Lu immediately bought two, wrapped them in oil paper, and took a bite, filling his mouth with the aroma of sesame seeds.
It was really fragrant.
It had been a long time since I had eaten it, and Ye Lu felt that he even missed this taste.
Walking along the street and saying hello to people he knew, Ye Lu was in a good mood.
While walking, a bowl of tea fell from above his head in front of his eyes, and water droplets splashed on his face.
Ye Lu immediately stopped where he was and closed his eyes.
Slowly swallowing the mouthful of sesame cakes in his mouth, Ye Lu raised his hand to wipe the water droplets off his face, then looked up to where the tea fell, which was an open window on the second floor.
This is a restaurant, and it must be a place for accommodation.
"The person on the second floor, his eyes have reached to the back of his head and he didn't see anyone below him."
I haven't been back for a long time.
Why are there so many unqualified people in this mountain town.
After the voice came out, within a moment, a face appeared from the window on the second floor.
He has sharp eyebrows and phoenix eyes, white skin and thin lips, and is very handsome.
Moreover, his face looked a little sick, and the man seemed to be in poor health.
Looking at him, he also looked at Ye Lu downstairs.
The two looked at each other, and Ye Lu suddenly felt that this person looked familiar.
Her mind quickly filtered, her eyes trembled, and she remembered.
In Tiecheng, this man appeared in the Zhou Mansion where a banquet was held to commemorate Jiang Liushui.
Staring at him, Ye Lu seemed to see blood.
She knew who he was.
She was suspicious of Sha Po Lang at first.
Turning around, Ye Lu quickly left without looking back.
Why would he be here and come to the mountain city?
Thinking of the feeling of stepping into the Shen's house yesterday, Ye Lu couldn't help but feel a chill on the back of his neck.
Could it be that he was also at the Shen's house yesterday?
Sha Po Lang's path is full of blood.
Even if he doesn't kill, he will bring bloody disaster to the people around him.
The further away from this kind of person, the better.
The better.
The pace quickened and he turned into the alley leading home, but stopped when he stepped in.
In front of me, the man was standing there.

He was tall, but a little thin, and looked extremely weak.
Staring at him, Ye Lu looked wary and grabbed the half-eaten sesame seed cake in his hand, using it as a weapon.
"You said yesterday that we would never meet again.
It seems that your prediction was not accurate."
Looking at her, the man spoke as if he was in the spring breeze.
His face also looked a little softer.
Ye Lu frowned at the sound, and then lowered his eyes to look at his boots.
The color of purple and gold was his
"What should I do now that I remember?
You saw my face, and you know that I was at Shen's house yesterday.
Do I have to kill you to silence you?"
The man took a step forward, holding his hands behind his back.
He looked harmless.
Ye Lu also immediately backed away, staring at him closely, "Don't come over here, I'm telling you, the officers and soldiers are not far ahead.
I just need to shout and they will come over and catch you right away."
"You didn't have this attitude yesterday."
The man shook his head slightly.
He was smiling, and his smile was quite pretty.
Ye Lu didn't dare to blink, staring at his face, all the hairs on her body felt dangerous.
"Let me tell you, I have no intention of being your enemy, and I don't want to have anything to do with you.
I didn't see anything yesterday, and I didn't see anything today.
Get out of my way.
Even if I meet you in the future, I will treat you as if I don't know you."
"Sha Po Lang, just thinking about it makes Ye Lu feel scared.
The man looked at her vigilant look and smiled like a flower blooming.
"I won't kill you, and I believe your words and won't report on me.
Besides, I don't have any ill intentions, I'm just surprised that I met you today."
He really didn't have any lethality at all.
Ye Lu still looked vigilant, "Everyone has to experience bad luck several times in a person's life.
Just get used to it.
In this case, we have nothing to say.
You get out of the way, I want to go back."
Home."
"Okay."
Turning slightly to the side, he stepped aside.
Ye Lu stared at him and slowly moved forward.
Both his steps and his eyes were full of vigilance.
Step by step, Ye Lu almost moved forward against the opposite wall, staring at him without blinking.
It wasn't until she walked around him that her heart relaxed a little.
The man kept looking at her.
Perhaps her actions were so ridiculous that he couldn't help but laugh too.
To be honest, Ye Lu thinks he is very good-looking, even more beautiful than Yang Yi.
However, it seems to prove the saying that the more beautiful, the greater the toxicity.
Yang Yi is a peach blossom essence, and this person is Sha Po Lang.
Even Shen Tuyi is a lone star of evil.

Staring at him, Ye Lu got further and further away from him.
She glanced at the remaining road and planned to run back.
The man looked at her and suddenly took a step in her direction.
Ye Lu immediately threw the sesame seed cake in his hand and ran away, as if there were hot wheels under his feet.
The half-eaten sesame cake fell in front of him.
The man made no move.
He just looked at Ye Lu who was running away in a hurry and smiled meaningfully.
After running back to the courtyard in a hurry, Ye Lu's worried heart relaxed.
Ignoring the sight of the officers and soldiers, she returned to the room and sat down on the chair, escaping her life.
Sha Po Lang Sha Po Lang also ran to the mountain city, maybe it would bring a bloody storm to the mountain city.
From what she knew, even if Sha Po Lang had no intention of killing the clan, he couldn't restrain himself at all.
Just like Tiansha Lone Star, he doesn't want to control the people around him, but he can't control them at all.
Right now, both Tiansha Lone Star and Sha Po Lang are here.
When these two fatal conflicts collide, no one knows what will happen.
But Ye Lu felt that nothing good would happen.
She could only pray that no matter what happened, it would not affect her.
She is a person with nine lives, and now many people are trying to arrest her.
She just wants to save her life
