Chapter 336 Show off secretly
Wu Jiang opened the carriage door without hesitation. He stretched out his hand wrapped in white cloth and bent down to help Gu Shiwei and Han Shiyan.

He looked exactly like the little eunuch in the palace who was arrogant at first but respectful at the back.

Gu Shinwei's mouth twitched, and he jumped directly into the carriage.

Although his hand was empty, Wu Jiang still followed up with a look on his face, "If you go to the city gate to catch the murderer, you will have to pass near the Kaifeng Mansion Office. Just drop me off at that intersection."

He said, chuckled, and rubbed his hands, "If you can really catch the murderer, I'm afraid my uncle will build a golden body for you at home and worship him every day."

"Take care of your relatives, brother Shi Yan, please tell me, why is that person? If my uncle asks about this, and I don't know everything about it, wouldn't it be a big loss? In the past, I was the only one, so it would be a shame to lose face. Now Hongying..."

As Wu Jiang spoke, he shrunk his chin in embarrassment, looking a bit shy.

Gu Shinwei looked at it with goosebumps all over his body.

The air in this carriage is really sour! Just smelling it makes me lose my wits!
"If there were serial murderers in Bianjing City, we wouldn't be able to see such a peaceful and peaceful scene when we enter the city."

The rebellion of King Qi was mainly in the palace, and ordinary people knew nothing about it. It wasn't until later that the Imperial City Bureau came out to catch rioters everywhere that the market became tense.

At that time, they were only thinking about rescuing the driver quickly and did not pay attention to this at all.

Now that I think about it carefully, Wu Jiang was right. In order not to cause panic, Wang Yihe, the governor of Kaifeng, did block the news. He did not publicize the murderous maniac, nor did he mention a single word about the details of the case.

Ordinary people did not pay much attention to this matter, so when they lined up to enter the city, except for the talkative guard, they did not hear anyone else talking about this matter.

Han Shiyan saw that Wu Jiang still didn't understand, so he took over the conversation and reminded helplessly: "Do you still remember what that person said at that time?"

Wu Jiang shook his head. Too many things had happened in the past few days. How could he remember what a random person on the roadside said?
He thought like this, looking at the two people in front of him, his heart finally died completely.

He was human, they were not human, and they all remembered.

Hearing this, Gu Shiwei raised five fingers and said, "That person knew this very well even though no one else knew about it; when everyone in Kaifeng Mansion only knew that Qiuniang and the cripple, that is, Xu Dayong, were the two deceased, He knew that a total of five people would die.”

"There were exactly five people on the ship, except Lu Yi, Xu Dayong, Zhang Laoqi, Qiuniang, Guan Yang and Zheng Dong."

"Not only that, he also specifically mentioned Lu Yi, saying that Lu Yi wanted to find a lover to redeem her life, and the young men in Bianjing City would spend a lot of money for her."

Wu Jiang was instantly enlightened, "Lu Yi is obviously seriously ill and has closed the door to thank guests. How could there be any redemption?"

"Only the murderer will know how many people will die. I understand that. But the lie he told about Lu Yi is too obvious. Aren't you afraid that we will suspect him after finding out? Why did the murderer tell us this on purpose?"

Gu Shiwei clicked his tongue a few times, "Do you still remember the look of the guard at that time? He was mysterious but very excited."

"He is showing off to us triumphantly, showing off that we are about to step into a trap and catch Yuan Huo, the fake murderer, while letting him, the real murderer, go free."

"But he didn't dare to reveal too much to avoid bad things, so he mixed the truth with the lies..."

"As for the matter about Lu Yi that made us doubt him..." Gu Shiwei looked at Han Shiyan standing aside.

When Han Shiyan received the look, he was helpless. People said someone would kill someone with a borrowed knife, so why did Gu Shiwei use his words to criticize others?

He thought and blurted out without thinking, "You were also present and you listened. Didn't you doubt him?"

"If we hadn't arrived just in time to rescue King Qi, we wouldn't have discovered anything wrong with the confession letter; if we hadn't met Mrs. Wang at the border and happened to find Yuan Huo, we wouldn't have discovered it at all. Go to Yuan Mansion..." Wu Jiang instantly hugged his head full of resentment.

He murmured, "If you don't go to Yuan Mansion, you won't care about this serial murder case."

After all, Gu Shiwei and Han Shiyan were focused on the Feiqiao case and wanted to overturn the case of Gu Younian and Wang Shen. One of them was from the Imperial City Department and the other was from Yushitai, so it was impossible for them to interfere with the Kaifeng Mansion. of every case.

The reason why the three of them investigated the case together before was because the cases they wanted to investigate happened to overlap.

"And since you guys are not here, I can't even remember what that guy said! He was dancing in front of a blind man and singing in the ears of a deaf man. He deliberately disgusted me!"

Gu Shinwei glanced at Wu Jiang sympathetically, reached out and patted his shoulder.

"There's no need to belittle yourself. He doesn't look down on you that much. After all, under normal circumstances, how could your uncle bear to let you get injured while investigating the case? He just loves to talk and show off secretly."

Wu Jiang's face collapsed and he wanted to cry but had no tears.

Although it is a comfort, why does it make me even sadder?

While talking, the carriage stopped. The driver, Old Suntou, said in an unhurried voice, "We are near Kaifeng Mansion. Wu Tuiguan can get off the car."

Wu Jiang patted his face and jumped down.

He understood that although Gu Shiwei and Han Shiyan suspected the guard in front of the door because of their "words", to confirm whether it was him or not, he still had to investigate the remaining two people, that is, Zhang Laoqi and Guan Yang... If They're dead too, that's the real five.

……

There are obviously fewer pedestrians on the streets of Bianjing City today. Although the city gate is still open, there is no longer the grand scene of queuing in the past.

It was now afternoon, and the people guarding the city gate were beginning to feel weak, and from time to time they would lower their heads and take a nap secretly.

Gu Mancang yawned and kicked the person next to him, "Sun Changshan, you're so salivating...Why are you dreaming about that Luyi girl again? You also said that you boasted that you once had sex with another courtesan's wife. Once... I think it was in a dream!"

"Why are you so sleepy? Did you commit murder and set fire last night?"

Sun Changshan was suddenly kicked awake from his drowsiness. He stretched out his hand to wipe the corners of his mouth and glared at Gu Mancang with dissatisfaction.

"With my thin arms and legs, who can I kill or set fire to? I went to worship my ancestors last night and begged my ancestors to replace me with someone, preferably a beautiful girl."

When the guards standing opposite heard this, they all winked and laughed.

Although Gu Mancang's name is a bit rustic and he was born into a farmer's family, he was born with fine skin and tender flesh. Even though he was exposed to the wind and sun every day at the gate of the city, he was still as fair as a big girl. The older men in the team often made dirty jokes about him.

When Sun Changshan saw the crowd making noises, he looked to the side triumphantly.

This sight almost didn't scare him out of his wits. There was no such thing as a barn next to him, but there was clearly a girl with a smile on her face.

Sun Changshan, whose dream had come true, was now standing on end of his hair. The beauty in front of him was not a beauty at all. She was clearly the female Rakshasa who came to seek her life.

Sun Changshan swallowed his saliva and said calmly, "Master Gu, are you going to leave the city?"

As he spoke, his hand touched the coffin nails in his sleeve pocket.
