Wu Zuo Xiao Jiao Niang

Chapter 5 Nanxi Messenger Satil
Xiao Chengzhi took Liu Qing to the junction of Qingzhou and Yiqu, ready to welcome the visitors.

Xiao Chengzhi guessed that the person who came was either the lord of Yiqu City or the steward.

It is heard that the lord of Yiqu City is over fifty years old but very young, and has a set of skills to control his face. Many dignitaries have repeatedly offered olive branches to ask for advice, but nothing happened.

The steward of Yiqu City is a young and beautiful woman, who handles affairs vigorously and vigorously. Everyone admires her very much.

The city gate ahead opened wide, and a swaying woman walked out of the gate.

The white gauze skirt flutters with the wind, the cloak woven with silk refracts colorful rays of light in the sun, and the pearl curtain covers half of the face, revealing only delicate eyebrows and eyes, every frown and frown are full of style.

She walked towards the wind, and it seemed that the fragrance of orchids was scattered.

The edge of the white shoe is inlaid with a circle of mother-of-pearl pieces, the upper is embroidered with blood agate, and the blood agate surrounds a night pearl the size of a thumb, all of which are full of extravagance.

Shatier walked slowly across the single-plank bridge that was deliberately lowered for traffic, her steps were steady, and the white girdle wrapped around her waist, which was even more gentle and moving.

After a while, Shatier came to Xiao Chengzhi. She took off the pearl curtain with one hand, and stretched out the other hand in front of her body. The sound of silver bells came to her ears. It turned out that she was wearing a bell bracelet on her hand: "It's better to hear it for a long time." Let's meet, you must be the new prefect, I'm Shatier."

"Hello." Xiao Chengzhi stretched out his hand and touched her lightly, not used to it.This is the unique etiquette of their Nanxi country.

Xiao Chengzhi, who had always kept himself clean, was the first time he touched a girl's hand, and he hastily withdrew it.

Seeing this, Satil smiled.

Xiao Chengzhi is different from others, he will not try to take advantage of her.

This alone is enough to make Shatier look up to him.

When Xu Shuangshuang left, he saw a group of people approaching from a distance, and when he got closer, Xu Shuangshuang noticed the woman in white clothes.

Now that the lord has guests to entertain, she won't go up to join in the fun, anyway, the matter has been handed over to Butou Chen.

Shatier is the steward of Yiqu City, young and promising, and the number one beauty in Nanxi. It is said that she has many suitors, including young talents, and Lin Baicheng, the richest man in the world.

Let alone a man, she could guess just how stunning Shatier must be from a distance.

Xu Shuangshuang really wanted to go up to see the beautiful woman to feast her eyes on, but unfortunately this Shatier is not a small person, she is very lucky to be able to take a look from a distance!
Thinking of this, on the way back, Xu Shuangshuang was always envious of Xiao Chengzhi.

At noon, the scorching sun was in the sky.

Xu Shuangshuang rewrote the records of those corpses into an autopsy book from memory.

"Ding Ding~"

The last time Xu Yanqi went out, Xiao Chengzhi and the others came and knocked on the door for a long time before Xu Shuangshuang heard it from inside.

In order not to keep the visiting guests waiting for a long time, Xu Yanqi got a bell and hung it in the house, one end of which was hung on the edge of the gate. When a guest came, he took off the rope hanging on the door and pulled it, and the bell inside would ring.

Now Xu Yanqi went out to play chess with others, Xu Shuangshuang was the only one at home.

When the bell rang, Xu Shuangshuang put down his pen and came out.

Unexpectedly, it was Xiao Chengzhi and Chen Butou who came.

In the past, there must have been Liu Qing by Xiao Chengzhi's side, but today he was not seen, so Xu Shuangshuang inevitably asked curiously: "Why didn't Liu Qing come with you today?"

It was Chen Butou who said quickly: "My lord sent Liu Qing to take Satil to learn about the customs and customs of our Qingzhou City."

Xiao Chengzhi has always cherished words like gold, but today he rarely added a sentence after Chen Butou finished speaking: "It was Shatier's initiative to ask, just let Liu Qing entertain her."

Satier asked for it on her own initiative?

Thinking of that startling glance, Xu Shuangshuang immediately envied Liu Qing.

"Chen Butou told me about your discovery, what's going on?"

The corpses placed in the morgue were thrown away if they were not claimed, but what did those people want the corpses for?
Xiao Chengzhi had a bold guess on this point, but he dared not assert it.

Because there is only one stream between Qingzhou City and Nanxi River. Although the stream is called Lijiang River, it is not as wide as the river. Anyone who is a little watery can cross it.

If Nanxi made a move to attack the Eastern Dynasty, then Qingzhou City would be the first to be attacked.

But Nanxi has kept to himself all these years, not because they don't want to expand the country, but because Nanxi is the smallest of several countries.

Although the soldiers trained were all elite and their martial arts were very strong, they were no match for the richness of several other countries, especially the neighboring Eastern Dynasty.

The Eastern Dynasty had the most land among several countries, with a favorable climate and abundant food and grass. The emperor of the Eastern Dynasty ordered tax reductions and exemptions, and allocated a large sum of money to build ditches and border defense walls.

So there are very few thieves, which can be described as Guotai Minan.

If he really wanted to do something, a little Nanxi would definitely not have the guts to do so, unless someone helped him.

Xu Shuangshuang is well-informed and well-informed, so coming to her should bring unexpected gains.

Xu Shuangshuang did have her own opinions, but they were not as far-reaching as she thought.

"First, it controlled two people to commit suicide in a dream. There was no relationship between the two people, and they both had no worries and no family members. Then they took the corpse away and burned the morgue in an attempt to confuse the public and make people think that The bodies were burned."

"No matter how you look at these two points, they are not right, full of conspiracy."

It was obviously a very serious moment, but Chen Butou suddenly laughed out loud.

Xiao Chengzhi and Xu Shuangshuang looked at him, wanting to say that he laughed at the wrong time, but they didn't know why.

Chen Butou hemmed and hawed awkwardly: "I'm wondering what the taste of conspiracy is? Xu Zuo, you continue."

Xiao Chengzhi doesn't understand, what's so ridiculous?
But Chen Butou is usually very reliable, and he knew he was wrong by looking at him, so he didn't punish him.

Xu Shuangshuang continued: "I suspect that someone is experimenting with living and dead people."

Xiao Chengzhi also had this idea, but he didn't know what kind of experiments would use dead people.

"As far as I know, there are witches and Gu masters in Xizhao. They are very good at using poison and Gu, and can achieve the purpose of controlling people."

If so, the matter is very serious!
Xiao Chengzhi's face, which had always been reserved, finally showed seriousness: "How sure are you of this guess? How can you be sure it's Xi Zhao?"

No wonder Xiao Chengzhi was suspicious, after all, Xizhao was tens of thousands of miles away from them, and now he suspected that Nanxi's purpose was wrong, so Xu Shuangshuang talked about Xizhao.

"Do you remember what happened that day when a group of mysterious people blocked my way. They are tall and fit the characteristics of Xizhao people. I once rescued a pair of mother and son who could not escape from Xizhao, and their accents were exactly the same. "

When talking about it last time, Xu Shuangshuang only talked about what she saw, and did not express her guesses. After all, this is a major issue related to the two countries, and if something goes wrong, it will be said that it provoked a war between the two countries. the wicked.

Xiao Chengzhi already had a complete guess, and he had to write a secret letter back to the imperial city as soon as possible.

When Xiao Chengzhi and Chen Butou left, Xu Yanqi just came back after playing chess, they met each other and chatted for a few words before leaving.
