Those who can live on Chang'an Avenue in Zhengyangmen are all officials and masters, and Jinyi guards like them can't afford to offend, if you offend them, they can say that your ancestors have been heinous for eighteen generations.Although the relationship between Jinyiwei and the civil officials is not good, they still have to do things.Lu Xingyu is the most capable of doing things under Zuo Xiuyi, and he also has two assistants, one is Shen Lian, the general banner, and the other is Jin Yichuan, the small banner.Lu Xingyu took Zuo Xiuyuan to his own hundred households, and in the office, Shen Lian and Jin Yichuan were talking and laughing with a group of brothers, and after seeing Lu Xingyu come in, the two immediately got together.Jin Yichuan hurriedly asked, "Big brother, what's the case today?"
”"Yes, you'll be busy later."
Lu Xingyu waved his hand, he looked at the calm Shen Lian and said, "Second brother, this is Zuo Xiuyuan, you help me take it." ”Zuo Xiuyuan hurriedly stepped forward to greet Shen Lian, Shen Lian's face was serious, he answered, and then walked up to Lu Xingyu's ear and said, "What is the origin of this person?"
”Lu Xingyu said softly: "Lord Zuo's brother, take care of it." ”Shen Lian Gubo's face was not surprised, and he asked, "Lord Zuo too?"
”Lu Xingyu said softly: "Don't think about it, this person is very young, his father was killed in battle, and he himself was almost killed by monsters some time ago."
No, Lord Zuo was afraid that his uncle's family would be extinct, so he wanted to take care of it.I heard that Lord Zuo is still looking for the right woman for this kid. ”"Little brother knows."
Shen Lian nodded and returned to the queue.Lu Xingyu took out the file and said loudly: "Okay, today we are going to the Liu Mansion on Chang'an Avenue in Zhengyangmen to investigate the case, according to the description of the county government, this hundred households have preliminarily concluded that it is a skin ghost, everyone must cheer up, the skin ghost is difficult to deal with." ”The group of people below said: "Oh, why is it a skin ghost again, how many times this month." ”"These rich and noble families are the most tricky ghosts, no way, rich and powerful, who doesn't like beautiful women.""
My lord, before we begin, we have to enjoy it!"
Lu Xingyu clapped his hands and said: "Okay, okay, don't say a word, today is to investigate and determine if it is a skin ghost, Shen Zongqi, you lead the team into the house to search, and the rest of the people are looking nearby!"
”After Shen Lian received the order, he immediately brought his five small flags, Jin Yichuan was also among them, after they walked out of the hundred households, a group of Jinyi wrestlers squatted outside, these people were all temporary workers, different from the Jinyi captain.Hundreds of them rushed straight to Liu's mansion.As for Zuo Xiuyuan, he is very excited now, after all, he already has Zuo Xiuyi's ten percent force, self-protection is not a problem, he just wants to try what it feels like to cut monsters.They walked out into the streets, and the pedestrians on the streets were much more low-key, but some literati pointed fingers at Jinyiwei.Zuo Xiu looked very uncomfortable from afar, but these scholars couldn't be provoked, they were a group of keyboard warriors, bar spirits and trolls, they were proud of lifting the bar, and spraying people was fun.Shen Lian and the others had long been accustomed to it, and directly ignored the literati.Soon, they came to Liu's Mansion, which was the mansion of Liu Qingyuan, the head of the household department, and the matter was with his son Liu Chengxuan.Liu Chengxuan disappeared five days ago, but returned home two days ago, but the next night, one of Liu's servants died tragically in the pond in the courtyard, the body floating headfirst on the water.Later, Liu Fu sent someone to fish up the body, but the slave's internal organs were gone, and Liu Chengxuan disappeared again.Jin Yiwei came to investigate the case, but Director Liu was not in the house, he had already gone to the court, and the female relatives in the family were naturally not easy to see people, so only Steward Liu in the house received him.Shen Lian questioned Steward Liu according to the usual process, but there were no clues.However, Lu Xingyu deduced that this was Liu Chengxuan's encounter with a skin ghost, and Shen Lian also believed Lu Xingyu's inference, after all, he also knew this Liu Chengxuan's reputation.He asked, "Did your son-in-law bring anyone back?"
”Steward Liu shook his head.Shen Lian felt that the clue had been broken by this point, and it was estimated that he would only have to wait for Liu Chengxuan to go home again.Zuo Xiuyuan asked beside Shen Lian, "Shen Zongqi is very familiar with this Liu Gongzi?"
”Shen Lian didn't want to answer, but remembering Lu Xingyu's instructions, he said softly: "This kind of person has long been recorded by us, this Liu Chengxuan looks for flowers and willows every day, and it is easy to provoke female ghosts." ”Zuo Xiuyuan nodded very approvingly, he also knew that Shen Lian was looking for traces of skin ghosts, and skin ghosts generally hooked up with men in the image of beautiful women.And this guy who is hooked up with will become a substitute for the skin ghost.So in general, the Skinghost will let the prey find a remote place.Zuo Xiuyuan said in Shen Lian's ear: "Does Liu Chengxuan have an outer room?"
”Shen Lian instantly remembered that Liu Chengxuan did have an outer room, after all, Liu Chengxuan's wife was from a scholarly family, and she was the daughter of the head of the military department, and her personality was a bit fierce.He immediately waved his hand and said, "Collect the team and go to another place!"
”Zuo Xiuyuan hurriedly followed Shen Lian, and a team of people rushed straight to the nearby Golden Leaf Hutong and quickly surrounded a small courtyard.Shen Lian said to Zuo Xiuyuan: "This is Liu Chengxuan's outer room. ”Zuo Xiuyuan immediately said, "I'll knock on the door." ”Shen Lian shook his head and said, "What kind of door is this, let's get ready to do it." ”He hurriedly waved his hand, signaling his subordinate lieutenant Lux to prepare to make a move, and Shen Lian himself also pulled out the embroidered spring knife.Zuo Xiuyuan immediately drew his knife and came to the gate of the courtyard.Shen Lian shouted: "Up!
”A group of Jinyi captains directly climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, and Zuo Xiuyuan and Shen Lian followed up and entered the courtyard, but the courtyard was quiet.Several lieutenants immediately opened the courtyard door, and the wrestlers outside walked in with bird guns in their hands.Shen Lian walked in front, holding an embroidered spring knife in one hand and a small crossbow in the other, and slowly walked towards the backyard.Zuo Xiuyuan followed behind Shen Lian, and he felt that there was a smell of blood in this courtyard, as well as the smell of rotting corpses.So he hurriedly said in Shen Lian's ear: "There is danger inside. ”Shen Lian didn't look back, he just nodded and continued to walk inside.They were about to enter the inner courtyard, when a pretty woman in a red jacket and skirt walked out, she looked at the brocade guards, and then retreated in fright, and said in a panic: "What are you going to do, do you know who the slave family is?"
”Shen Lian was stunned for a moment, he looked at the woman carefully, and didn't find anything unusual, so he put away the knife and prepared to ask.But Zuo Xiuyuan could see at a glance that something was wrong with the woman in front of her, and there was a smell of blood and evil aura on her body.He immediately shouted: "Evil ghost, look at my blood-drinking knife!"
”Zuo Xiuyuan directly slashed at the woman's forehead, and the woman's panicked appearance instantly dissipated, with a scream coming out of her mouth, and at the same time, her face was full of resentment
