Chapter 19 Getting Hotter
When Jiang Youzhi arrived in Pei Xun's room and saw that he was writing something at his desk, he asked in a low voice, "My lord?"

Hearing the sound, Pei Xun raised his head, his eyes fell on the clothes around her waist, the faint blood marks had already dried.

"come over."

There is no doubt in the voice, it is different from his usual.

Jiang Youzhi approached him slowly, the seductive fragrance of Yuelin spread, and Pei Xun suddenly grabbed her right hand.

Jiang Youzhi couldn't help shaking at the cold touch, but saw that he was just looking at the injury on his palm seriously.

"I was in a hurry when I was running today." Jiang Youzhi's tone contained a trace of grievance.

Pei Xun let go of her hand: "There is medicine in the soft couch."

Jiang Youzhi nodded, walked to the soft couch, and indeed saw a bottle of ointment.

Halfway through applying it, she glanced at Pei Xun who was sitting upright, and suddenly let out a "hiss", and the ointment in her hand fell to the ground.

"It hurts too much, I can't wipe it off..."

Her voice was coquettish and timid, and her eyes were staring at him so weepingly.

Pei Xun got up and approached her, sat down on the soft couch naturally, picked up the ointment, held her hand, and gently applied the medicine for her.

A tingling sensation of being bitten by ants and insects swept over, and the slight rubbing of his palm seemed to be infinitely magnified, changing from cold to hot.

After the medicine was finished, Jiang Youzhi was about to stand up: "Thank you, my lord..."

But her shoulders were held down, and she sat down again, Pei Xun's eyes fixed on her cheek: "Don't move, your face is hurt."

When his cold knuckles caressed her cheek, Jiang Youzhi's heart was beating like thunder, but he didn't dare to breathe violently.

"Come closer, if you don't apply the medicine completely, it will leave a scar."

Hearing this, Jiang Youzhi's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately moved closer to her body without any distance, as if Pei Xun's lips were about to touch the corners of her eyes the next moment.

The hair fluttered inadvertently, the agarwood lingered infinitely in the room, and the "crackling" burning sound of the charcoal fire became more and more obvious, but Jiang Youzhi suddenly woke up from Pei Xun's words.

"Why are you so impulsive today?"

Paused: "This is not good."

It was like pouring a pot of cold water, the scorching heat was instantly extinguished, Jiang Zhizhi raised his eyes, first lost, then cold.

"I don't understand." Her tone was stiff.

Pei Xun wiped the ointment for the last time, and slowly closed the ointment.

"I fell as soon as I fell, why did I hurt myself so hard?"

Jiang Youzhi's eyes were tainted with disbelief. It turned out that he didn't want to seek justice for his sister, but blamed her for falsely falling and hurting himself.

Her heart beat faster, she bit her lower lip, and her smile overflowed unconsciously.

Suddenly recalling the chat with Ah Chang that day, she opened her mouth cautiously: "My lord, I heard Ah Chang say a few days ago that Su Qi'an tripped you up in the hall."

Since the day of the wedding banquet, Su Qi'an has indeed run on him both openly and secretly, and even reported to the emperor to find out some old accounts of old sesame seed and rotten millet.

"Nothing, nothing to worry about."

Seeing Pei Xun's expression was indifferent, Jiang Youzhi put his mind down, but still asked: "But Su Qi'an is sinister and vicious, and has always acted arrogantly. You rescued me that day, he will not let it go, and he may come back again."

Pei Xun looked at her cheeks that were slightly flushed because of anxiety, and her mouth opened and closed, which was very beautiful, and for no reason, she had the idea of ​​squeezing and rubbing, which would definitely make people love it.

Jiang Youzhi was completely unaware of her delicate allure, her almond eyes were clear, and she was still waiting for his answer.

Pei Xun smiled: "I have a way."

Jiang Youzhi opened his mouth, wanting to ask something else, but it was a bit difficult to say.

Pei Xun couldn't help it: "Huh?"

"Then... then what should I do? What if he comes looking for me again? If he is caught, he will definitely kill me, and besides, I can't hide in the house forever..."

The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, and the more wronged he became, the corners of his eyes were red, like a wounded kitten.

Such an exquisite beauty with crescent eyebrows, if the king of Hades, whose heart is as hard as iron, sees it, he will turn steel into soft fingers, and willingly degenerate into a minister under his skirt.

But Pei Xun was unmoved, and even deliberately pulled away. Jiang Youzhi couldn't help muttering when he saw his brows and eyes turning slightly cold.

Sure enough, this is the same Pei Xun who admonished Emperor Wen of Zhou, every word is pearls, weeping blood, the country, the country, and the people are as important as a thousand weights, and he must not indulge in the beauty of the harem.

Jiang Youzhi got up with a little disappointment: "Thank you, my lord, Xiaozhi will leave first."

But the moment he stepped over the threshold, a deep voice sounded: "Let him disappear, okay?"

It was just a sentence, but it carried a strange temperature. For some reason, Jiang Youzhi's heart sank for a moment.

She turned around, and the people in front of her were pine, fengshuiyue, fairy dew and pearls, as beautiful as the gods in the palace of longevity.

"it is good."

Qingliang's extremely firm voice sounded, and Jiang Youzhi's eyes flickered with microwaves.

Early the next morning, the morning market of the largest butcher shop in the north of the city was crowded with people.

A clerk poured the blood in his hand into the stone slab. The blood washed down with a "crash", and a strange thing appeared.

The guy rubbed his sleepy eyes, and took a closer look——

"what!"

Immediately trembling from fright, he collapsed to the ground.

In the autopsy room of Dali Temple, a few old foremen rushed out, vomited on the ground while supporting their bodies.

Jiang Youzhi looked at the corpse on the autopsy table, and it was indeed horrible.

"The deceased is a male, about five years old, three feet three inches in length, with a pale body. He should have been dead for less than eight hours."

Today Song Zheng personally filled out the cadaver sheet, and he wrote down everything Jiang Youzhi said.

"There are 42 whip marks, 56 knife marks, [-] pinch marks, and [-] scratch marks, all of which are new wounds, not fatal. The hair spinner hole was ripped apart, and five one-finger thick iron nails were driven into it to death. , a small amount of maggots came in and out of the wound, because the environment where the corpses were dumped was dirty."

The old Wu Zuo who just came back heard this and hastily stuffed another piece of ginger into his mouth.

"The food in the deceased's stomach has not been fully digested. Niu Yiyi, Aozhen, crab meat, and Danli can be identified. It should be from a wealthy family."

Pei Xun looked at the unrecognizable corpse, his eyes were indifferent: "The murderer hated the dead very much, and he tortured people to death because he was venting his resentment."

Jiang Youzhi said: "It's just a child, how much hatred can there be with the murderer, could it be that the child's parents offended the murderer?"

At this time, a guard came to report: "My two lords, Lord Qin found a jade pendant at the downstream end of the Shibanpo cave."

Several people came out of the autopsy room, and sure enough, they saw a jade pendant brought up, the top-quality jasper, finely carved, probably from a high-ranking family.

Pei Xun picked up the jade pendant and said without hesitation, "It's from the Duke's residence."

Song Zheng said: "The township announcement has been on hold for more than a month, and he has not been to the court. All the ministers have said that he is suffering from a serious illness and will die soon."

A few people immediately decided to go to the Duke's mansion for a walk.

Holding the signboard of Dali Temple, he entered the Duke's mansion, but he did not see Duke Zhen, only an old housekeeper.

Following the old housekeeper into a wing room, the smell of incense was extremely strong, Duke Zhen was lying on the bed, his complexion was pale, his eyes were dark, and his mental condition was very bad.

After a few people searched to no avail, as soon as they arrived at the garden, they saw a figure suddenly rushing out of the grass, swooping in, and grabbed Jiang Youzhi's neck...
