I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 126 Goldfinger

After a while, Zhan Feiyu returned to the carriage, locked onto Butler Liu who was standing in the crowd through the window.

Compared with other people's restlessness, Liu Butler, although he wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead from time to time, was obviously much calmer. He occasionally glanced at the gate of the other courtyard, and he didn't feel guilty of a murderer, nor did he win against the Forbidden Dragon Guard. pride and arrogance.

Go too far!Zhan Feiyu Baozi showed a smile on his face, being too calm was the biggest flaw, not to mention a little butler, even a second-rank officer, Lord Liu, was a little afraid of the Forbidden Dragon Guard, but Butler Liu was calm and composed!
But at the moment in the other courtyard, no matter how annoyed Liu Jian is, Jin Longwei is so overbearing and unreasonable in his actions, he can only hold back if he refuses to accept him!

Several times, Liu Jian wanted to question Yin Wuyan, did he just let him wait?It's a pity that the aura around Yin Wuyan was too cold, Liu Jian hesitated and still didn't speak.

Chongguang searched the other courtyard almost three feet into the ground, at this time he walked outside the main hall door, "My lord, I have something to report."

Prince Yu, Zhang Zhifu, Tong Tongzhi and the others were also anxiously waiting, so they swiped and looked at the heavy light outside the door. Did they find Zhou Wenquan's body?
Liu Jian's hand holding the teacup shook violently, but he regained his composure in an instant, drinking the tea with his head down, hiding the flash of uneasiness in his eyes.

Only Gu Qingzhou still stands calmly at the window to enjoy the scenery outside the window.

"Qi Ye." Chong Guang glanced at the people with different expressions in the room, and said in a low voice to Yin Wuyan: "The fat girl is going to test the people in the Liu family..."

"Do as Xiaoyu says." Yin Wuyan said in a cold voice without any hesitation.

Although it was expected, Zhongguang still couldn't help muttering: "Qiye, do you trust the fat girl so much? Those who can gain Liu Jian's trust in handling the corpse will not easily show their flaws."

Is this the Hero Sad Beauty Pass?Last night after the Forbidden Dragon Guard forcibly broke into the other courtyard, Qi Ye sent people to guard in the dark. There were more than 30 people standing outside, and anyone with abnormal expressions was under their surveillance.

It's been two hours since last night, and the other party didn't show their feet at such a good time last night, let alone now!
Hearing the suspicion and ridicule in Chongguang's words, Yin Wuyan looked over with cold eyes under the silver mask.

"Yes, this subordinate obeys!" Chong Guang, who was intimidated for a second, hurriedly replied, his figure swept into the yard, and he went straight to the gate.

Standing outside under the scorching sun is indeed a torment, especially when there is a policeman with a saber next to him, and there are guards from the palace not far away.

Zhong Guang strode over, glanced at the audience, and his clear voice was dangerous and cold-blooded, "The person whose name I called stood up! Zhao Jia..."

There was almost no pause, Chongguang reported nine names in one breath, and the more than 20 people whose names were not called seemed to have escaped a catastrophe, and their expressions suddenly eased.

"These nine people go out, and the rest of them can do what they should do." Shigemitsu waved his hand, indicating that the rest of them can leave.

"This..." Although I really wanted to leave, but in this tense and dangerous atmosphere, no one dared to be the first to leave. As soon as I took a bold step, my head fell to the ground.

This courage is really small enough!Chongguang curled his lips, suddenly remembering that last year Zhan Feiyu wiped the jade-faced gentleman's neck with a knife, and it was really interesting to be a fat girl.

The voice suddenly turned cold, and the heavy eyes made people feel hairy, "What? If you don't leave, do you want to go to the Yamen Prison for a few days?"

With a crash, more than 20 people ran away without a trace in an instant. Some of them ran too fast and fell on their backs, but they got up again in an instant, and ran away without a trace.

At this moment, the nine people whose names were called to stay couldn't help becoming nervous. Fortunately, they were all Liu Jian's guards. Even in the face of Chongguang from the Forbidden Dragon Guard, the eight guards and Butler Liu were still calm, just subconsciously. Standing up straight, everyone is on guard.

The corners of his lips curled up into a smile, and Chong Guang's sharp eyes swept over the nine of them one by one, "Okay, I'm not talking nonsense, the person the Forbidden Dragon Guard is looking for is among the nine of you, stand up when the name is called , line up in a column at intervals of three feet, stop for twenty breaths every five steps, start from the gate and walk around the entire courtyard before coming out."

"When passing by houses, go in one by one, and after closing the door, stay for fifty breaths before coming out."

Chongguang's request was not weird, but it was also unpredictable. After he gave the order, nine people lined up in a column one by one, and Butler Liu stood in the middle.

Butler Liu walked five steps and hadn't reached the gate. He lowered his head and glanced around calmly.

The Yamen's catcher, the guards of the palace, and Chongguang himself did not go with him, but Steward Liu knew that someone must be watching secretly.

One step, two steps... After five steps, the leading guard stopped, and after twenty breaths, he continued to walk, from the gate to the front courtyard, even if no one was watching, he did not dare to disobey the order of the Dragon Guard.

Is this trying to make yourself "not calling yourself"?Butler Liu who stopped walking silently twitched the corners of his mouth. It seems that the Forbidden Dragon Guard is nothing more than that.

Ho!Suddenly, there was a biting cold feeling on the back of his right hand. Butler Liu was startled, and he raised his right arm abruptly.

The four people in front didn't notice Liu Butler's sudden movement, but the four guards behind him were all taken aback, and looked puzzledly at Liu Butler, who was usually the most calm.

Touching the back of his right hand, Butler Liu felt that the back of his hand was still cold, but the guards were three feet away from him. Could it be that he had suffered from heatstroke and had hallucinations?

After another five steps, this time everything was as usual, butler Liu's hanging heart slowly let go, maybe he was really exposed to the sun, and his mind was a little out of control.

But after a while, there was another icy feeling on the back of his right hand, and Steward Liu turned back suddenly, as if there was a ghost behind him.

The four guards standing behind Butler Liu stared at him dumbfounded.

Panting heavily, Housekeeper Liu clenched his hands tightly. In the corridor, apart from the nine of them, there was not even a ghost.

This is impossible!Suppressing the panic in his heart, Butler Liu stood up again. If it was last night, he might have guessed that the Forbidden Dragon Guard was playing tricks under the cover of night.

But the sky is bright and the sky is clear, and there are guards in front of and behind him... Butler Liu's complexion changed again and again, and finally calmed down.

Another five steps, but this time he entered the guest room and closed the door. Butler Liu clenched his right hand into a fist. He raised his eyes and looked into the room. It was just a guest room. Except for the closed wardrobe that can hide people, the room can See the head at a glance.

"Ah!" Suddenly, Butler Liu felt something slip across the back of his left hand, and the greasy feeling made him cry out in shock.

He raised his hand and took a closer look, but there was a bloodstain on the back of his left hand. The dazzling red made Steward Liu tremble.

Ghost!Steward Liu turned around quickly, looked back, and then looked to the left and right, but there was no one else in the room except him!
Looking at the blood on the back of his hand, Steward Liu wiped it with his sleeves until the back of his hand became red and the blood disappeared.

The other eight people entered the guest room and came out one by one. To be honest, anyone with eyes could tell that Butler Liu was in a bad mood, but they were at a loss. Although everyone had to close the door when entering, there was no fart in the guest room. what.

Half an hour later, looking at the room in front of him, Steward Liu's legs were trembling, and he finally walked into the room with his legs open. After confirming that no one was there, he turned around and closed the door.

Standing with his back against the wall, Butler Liu stretched out his hands in front of him, one breath, two breaths... until after fifty breaths, he did not find anything unusual, and Liu Butler wiped his face vigorously. The bloodstains were clearly visible, and he would really think that the previous weirdness was all his imagination.

When he moved his right foot, he felt something was being kicked. Butler Liu looked down and saw that it was a finger. There was still dried blood at the base of the severed finger, and a small piece of white bone was clearly visible.

Terrified, Liu Butler opened his lips tremblingly, but he didn't make a sound.

The child is silent and strange!Butler Liu closed his eyes, opened them again after calming down his breathing, his fingers were still in front of his feet.

Because there was no one to supervise, it was obviously longer than the time for Butler Liu to come out this time. The moment he stepped out of the door, he turned his head and took a look inside. The whole person seemed to be struck by lightning, and the finger disappeared out of thin air.

After entering the next room and seeing the white spirit-calling flag hanging on the door bolt, Steward Liu's eyes were a little dull. Only when there was a funeral or worshiping the dead would he fix the spirit-calling flag on the bamboo pole and put it on the bamboo pole. In front of the grave.

main hall.

Liu Jian was getting impatient for waiting, he didn't know whether Chongguang had really discovered something when he came to find Yin Wuyan before, or if he was playing tricks, but it has been more than an hour.

"Master Liu, are you hungry?" Prince Yu looked at the gloomy Liu Jian gloatingly.

In fact, after sitting for such a long time, Prince Yu couldn't sit still anymore, but seeing Liu Jian being tormented, Prince Yu suddenly felt comfortable all over, and he could sit for another ten days and a half months!
"Lord Yin brought people in before dawn, and I have not been sunburned or starved to death, it is already God's love!" Liu Jian's voice was full of resentment, if it wasn't for the forbidden dragon guard's actions being too domineering and ruthless Hot, Liu Jian turned his back on it a long time ago.

"The Forbidden Dragon Guard can only cooperate with the investigation of the case. Master Liu is more considerate." Gu Qingzhou came to make a big move.

The corpse was hidden in this other courtyard, not to mention waiting for several hours, even three to five days, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, Liu Jian could only bear it.

"That's right, Mr. Liu, be safe and don't be impatient. This corpse is well hidden, but the weather is hot, and the stench will probably come out in a few days." Prince Yu didn't care about talking about the corpse, everyone knew it.

……

Zhan Feiyu never thought that his weak gold finger could help find the dead body. When he saw Steward Liu standing there stiffly, his face was pale and bloodless, and he didn't even dare to look up at the room, Zhan Feiyu Yu estimated that nine out of ten corpses were hidden here.

This is a small deserted courtyard in the north of the other courtyard. There are three main rooms, plus two side rooms on the left and right. The damage is a bit serious, and the sunlight outside can be seen from the roof.

"Fat girl, to be honest, what kind of tricks are you playing?" Zhong Guang looked away and looked at Zhan Feiyu who was standing beside him. He followed the fat girl's instructions, and all the people who were spying on him were removed.

Of course, this order was given by Yin Wuyan, otherwise Chongguang wouldn't think that his seventh master was so obsessed!The fat girl's arrangement was clearly to let Butler Liu show his flaws, but she also removed the people who were watching. Isn't this contradictory?
Could it be that Liu Butler will yell with conscience when he finds out the place where the corpse is hidden?If he was so impatient, Liu Jian wouldn't let him dispose of the corpse, even though the fat girl asked the police to get a finger from Yizhuang.

But Butler Liu really showed his flaws, the four people in front all went in, but Butler Liu tripped over the threshold with a bang, and ran out scrambling and crawling.

Although Zhongguang listened to the order to withdraw the secretly watching people, he didn't leave completely, but he was far away, so he couldn't hear or see him, but Steward Liu was so scared that he shouted that there was a ghost. People rushed over.

"The secret must not be leaked." Zhan Feiyu smiled mysteriously. From the corner of his eye, he spotted a group of people walking towards this side, and quickly moved aside.

Prince Yu's movements were so quick and mighty that he arrived at the gate of the other courtyard in two or three steps, "Is it here? Did you find the body?"

"Back to the lord, the place where the corpse is hidden is in this small courtyard, but the exact location has not yet been found." Zhongguang replied and looked at Liu Jian, but he saw that his face was still gloomy and ugly, but there was no panic at all, it was not a good hiding , the corpse was not hidden here, that's why Liu Jian was so calm.

"The Forbidden Dragon Guard has searched several times, but not a single corpse can be found? Lord Yin said before that he was hunting for fugitives, but now he will find an unknown corpse. I admire the way the Forbidden Dragon Guard is investigating the case." The voice was thick With a sneering look, Liu Jian followed the moon gate and looked towards the small leaky courtyard, "A corpse is not a small thing, you can hide it in any hole."

Zhou Wenquan was thin and thin, but he was a grown man after all, so it was not easy to hide his body. After all, the other courtyard was always under the watchful eye of the guards of Prince Yu's Mansion, so it was even more difficult to hide his body.

Liu Jian had thought about cutting up the corpse, boiling it until it was rotten, and then disposing of it, but even so, there were still many bones, how to hide these bones?
Furthermore, cooking must be done in a stove, and the servants in other courtyards were all sent by Tongzhi, not Liu Jian's confidantes, so Liu Jian was worried about letting them handle the corpse.

But if the people in the kitchen were transferred away, and the guards from Liu's mansion came to the kitchen, the dragon guards would only need to catch a servant and interrogate them to find out about the abnormality.

So Liu Jian himself didn't know how the corpse was disposed of in the end, he deliberately didn't ask, this was also to show his flaws when confronting Prince Yu and the Forbidden Dragon Guard head-on, otherwise Liu Jian would never be so calm at this moment.

Gu Qingzhou looked at Zhan Feiyu who was standing aside with feigned anger, "Didn't I tell you to stay in the carriage to read, why did you come here?"

The little disciple is very courageous, but he is only eight years old after all. If the body is found, Gu Qingzhou is worried that Zhan Feiyu will be frightened.

"Teacher, I'm a little bored waiting." Zhan Feiyu smiled flatteringly, and stood obediently beside Gu Qingzhou, "I'll just stand outside and promise not to go in."

The fat girl is quite good at pretending!Chongguang heard the conversation between the master and apprentice behind him, and was about to turn around to expose Zhan Feiyu, but Yin Wuyan's warning glance swept away, and Chongguang was as honest as a quail immediately.
