"It seems that tomorrow I'm going to meet Marquis Yong'an."

"There is a spy from the commoner building in Yong'an Hou's mansion. I will give you the contact information of the spy. If necessary, you can directly wake up the spy to ask about the situation."

"Aren't you going with me?"

"My lord goes to work, what do I, a Jianghu girl, follow? Isn't it suspicious?"

"Everyone knows that I, Su Qing, are a romantic person. Since I am a romantic person, isn't it reasonable to always be surrounded by beauties?"

Xiao Lingshan rolled Su Qing's eyes with all sorts of flair, "In this case, tomorrow the little girl will pretend to be the adult's confidante."

"What is pretending? You are my confidante."

Before dawn the next morning, there was a sound of footsteps rustling outside Su Qing's room.Although the sound was slight, it successfully woke up Su Qing.Su Qing opened her eyes, and her eyes instantly became clear.

"Is it Xiaoya?"

"My lord, it seems that a big case has happened. The magistrate came here in a hurry and waited for him in the front yard."

"Do you know what's going on?"

"It seems to be about the matter of Marquis Yong'an. I don't know what it is." Xiaoya returned with a soft voice.

A cold light flashed in Su Qing's eyes, she was dull for half a second, and said lightly that she knew.

In terms of official rank, Master Liu, the magistrate, is a fifth-rank official, while Su Qing's general judgment is half a rank lower than that of the magistrate.If something happened, Su Qing should go to the magistrate instead of the magistrate running to Su Qing.

Even if something as important as Marquis Yong'an happened, someone should be sent to call Su Qing, and then Su Qing rushed to the yamen to discuss important matters with the magistrate.

But in the officialdom of Lingxi Mansion, this is not the case.

When Su Qing first came, Lingxi Mansion acquiesced that Su Qing and Master Liu were equal.There was no confrontation, no consensus was reached, and the two settled in such a tacit agreement.

As a direct descendant of the Wenmai Su family, let him be an official and a deputy?nonexistent!The Su family are the chief officials of the local area, and they are all top leaders.After Su Qing broke through to the realm of a master last year, the last bit of reservedness in the officialdom of Lingxi Mansion disappeared.

Although the officialdom is not a hero in the rivers and lakes.But in the end, it is still about whoever has the big fist and listens to whom.Su Qing is the only grand master in Jiangzhou's officialdom, what's the point of clinging to the official rank if she can sit on an equal footing with the prefect?
So Mr. Liu behaved no differently from a lower official except that he didn't call himself a lower official.

After getting up and washing, he changed into clean clothes before he and Zhan Zhao Xue Chonglou came to the reception room in the front yard and saw Mrs. Liu who was obviously restless although he was sitting upright drinking tea.

"Master Liu, what made you come here in such a hurry? I heard that something happened to Marquis Yong'an?"

Master Liu showed a smile uglier than his dead father, "Master Su, this time you must save our Lingxi government office. This matter will spread to the capital in a few days, and Longyan will definitely be shocked." Wrath, I will lose everyone's head. At that time, we will have to rely on Mr. Su's plea for help."

"so serious?"

Liu Zhifu said miserably with a sad expression on his face, "There are villains who slaughtered the whole family of the Marquis of Yong'an. What kind of a big deal is this? Such a big case happened under my rule, no matter who the murderer is or not, I don't care Escape from accountability."

"What?" Although Su Qing heard about the accident in Yong'an Mansion, she thought he was plotting a rebellion, but she didn't expect to be massacred.

Rebellion, just destroy it!But the nature of being slaughtered is different.

If it was Marquis Yong'an who was assassinated, even if he was stabbed to death in the end, it would be nothing more than a desperate fight by some desperadoes.But destroying the whole family is not a desperado, it is a blatant provocation of the imperial court, ignoring the imperial court's system of lords, and contempt for imperial power.

"The majestic hereditary marquis, and the hereditary marquis who lived with the country, was wiped out by people. Isn't this a challenge to the imperial power?"

Su Qing showed a wry smile on her face, "Master Liu, do you still expect the lower officials to save you? The lower officials are also in danger. I am the judge for the whole government, and I am in charge of the law and order of the whole government. I am the first person responsible for this matter. I should be the first one to be held accountable. Have Master Liu been to the Yong'an Hou Mansion?"

"not yet."

"Then let's go together."

Lingxi Mansion, the ancient city.Those who can settle down here are all wealthy nobles who have inherited Lingxi Mansion for more than a hundred years.Even if the family is rich enough to rival a country's wealth, it is difficult to occupy a place here without a prominent status.

Yong'an Hou Mansion is located in the most golden location in this old city full of ancient charm.

But at this moment, a piece of news exploded in the ancient city like a thunderbolt on the ground.Inherited for a hundred years, the Marquis of Yong'an, who lived with the country, was slaughtered by the whole family, leaving no chickens or dogs behind.

The country is still there, but the Yong'an Hou Mansion is gone.

Although the Yong'an Hou Mansion does not reveal its landscape on weekdays, it is because it is low-key, not because it has no strength.Yong'anhou is an officially registered peak innate master, and in the Yong'anhou's mansion, there are as many as six innate peak masters alone.There are twenty-six masters below the innate peak.

With such strength, it is more than enough for one government to overwhelm a whole county's martial arts.But such a powerful Yong'an Hou Mansion was completely wiped out overnight.

The courtyard of Yong'an Hou Mansion was full of corpses in disheveled clothes.In the pond in the backyard, the corpse of the Marquis of Yong'an was soaking in the water, rising and falling like a fish with its belly lifted.

Su Qing and the others walked past the corpses all over the place, their expressions becoming more and more serious.

There are more than [-] kinds of martial arts used to slaughter the Yong'an Houfu, but the traces of the murderer are very few, at most only three or four.With so many people fighting in such a messy scene, it is difficult to cover up the traces.

"Could it be that the three or four murderers have mastered more than twenty kinds of peerless martial arts?" Xue Chonglou asked hesitantly.

"Is it possible?" Miao Ruonan asked hesitantly, "These peerless martial arts are all unique skills that can drive the martial arts world crazy. It takes at least ten years of hard work to practice.

One person has mastered at least eight different unique skills. Could it be that he has practiced for seven or eighty years? "

"That's not the case. My lord is only in his twenties, and he has at least a dozen kinds of unique skills, each of which has been practiced to the peak."

Miao Ruonan gave Xue Chonglou a cross-eyed look, "You've said you're an adult, how many adults are there in this world? How can someone be so amazing and beautiful and become a killer?"

Su Qing was very pleased to hear that, "The reason why I can master more than a dozen kinds of unique arts is not just because of the extraordinary talents. The way of martial arts leads to the same goal. After reaching a certain level, other fields under this level can also learn by analogy.

But obviously, those killers didn't reach that level, as can be seen from the wound marks they left behind.However, the person who killed the six innate peak masters including Yong'anhou was a difficult guy. "

As Su Qing spoke, there was a solemn flicker between her brows.

A master who can kill six innate peaks at the same time can only be a master.This shows that there is at least a murderer in the guru realm in this case.

And judging from the remaining traces left by the murderer, the martial arts realm of the shooter is not low, and I am afraid that he is not inferior to him.

"Lord Su!" Xiao Lingshan's soft voice came from next to her ear, trying to plan Su Qing's thoughts, and when she looked up, she saw him standing in front of a corpse, hesitating to speak.

Su Qing strode forward and looked down at the corpse at her feet.The corpse was dressed in gray servant clothes, with a sword wound on the throat, as thin as a red mark.

"what happened?"

"He is the spy of the commoner building. Moreover, the spy who broke into the Marquis of Yong'an must be quite powerful. According to the dossier, he has an innate late stage cultivation.

Originally, I suspected that Yong'anhou was the mastermind behind the scenes, but I didn't expect that even he was silenced.All the clues have been cut off, so how to check next? "

Su Qing stared at the posture of the corpse on the ground, doubts flickered in her eyes.

"Lingshan, do you think there is something wrong with the spy's death posture?"

When Xue Lingshan was reminded by Su Qing, she suddenly realized that the corpse's left hand was pressing her chest.

"Is there something in the chest?"

Xue Lingshan quickly squatted down and groped up and down, but she searched all over her chest, but there was nothing on the spy.

"Could it be that he died in such a strange posture? Or has the murderer discovered the strangeness of his death and searched it?"

"If the murderer had found his death warrant and searched, he would not be in this position now."

"That's just a coincidence."

Su Qing's eyes flickered for a long time, and suddenly a flash of light flashed across.Who said that hidden things must be in clothes?Is it possible to hide things only outside the body?

"Wu Zuo!" Su Qing shouted softly.

Wu Zuo, who was doing a detailed inspection of the corpses, quickly stopped his hands and strode forward.

"Go and bring this corpse in and see if there is something in his stomach?"

"Yes!"

Su Qing raised her head and looked around.The surrounding government officials are searching around to collect the corpses.

Half an hour later, Wu Zuo came striding over with a tray full of joy.

"My lord has a clever calculation, there is indeed something in that person's stomach. My lord, these two wax pills were taken out of that person's stomach."

"Open."

Wu Zuo didn't say anything else, and started to squeeze the wax with his hands.Two brocade cloths were found from the wax pellets.The brocade cloth, which can be as big as a face towel when unfolded, can be packed into tiny wax pellets after being folded.This brocade cloth is obviously not ordinary.

On the brocade cloth, there are hundreds of ancient characters embroidered, but the shape of the ancient characters is peculiar. Since Su Qing was forced to read many books since she was a child, she didn't know any of the characters on the brocade cloth.

"This is...an ancient Yue language?" Xiao Lingshan said hesitantly after seeing the words for a long time.

"Do you know Lingshan? What's written on it?"

Xiao Lingshan shook her head, "I just know that these are ancient Yue characters, but I don't know any of these characters.

It's strange to say that the ancient Yue country has only been subjugated for three hundred years, but the ancient Yue characters that are popular in the Yue area seem to have been erased, and they have disappeared and been forgotten at an extremely fast speed.

At that time, it seemed normal, but looking back now, you can see that something was wrong. During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, there were countless countries that were destroyed.

Even if countries with their own languages ​​were destroyed for thousands of years, their languages ​​were preserved by a small number of people.Even if the government put an end to their written language and killed batch after batch, they always regenerate like weeds.

But the ancient Yue script is the opposite. No one deliberately banned this script language, and it has lost its inheritance in just three hundred years.A hundred years ago, the imperial court couldn’t find anyone who could speak ancient Yue, and even less so now.

This is beyond common sense, and there must be something strange behind this matter. "
