The Splendid Manor of the Peasant Girl in Space

Chapter 164: Heart Digger 2
After eating, he tidied up and left Baolai Inn, walked to the gate of the city, but was stopped.

"My lord has an order, all people are not allowed to leave the city, only allowed to enter, not allowed to leave."

After hearing what the officers and soldiers said, Ye Kexuan's face turned cold.

"Why?" she asked.

"The Mind Digger may be in the city, and he can be released after he is caught." The officer and soldier said with a straight face.

After hearing this, she turned to the beautiful mother-in-law in the carriage and said, "Mother, I can't go anymore."

"Let's go back then!" came the words from the carriage.

After hearing this, Ye Kexuan immediately pulled the carriage around and returned to Baolai Inn.

After entering the door, the shopkeeper saw that they were back, so he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Why are the two guests back?"

"My lord seals off the city to catch the heart-digging demons, so they won't be able to leave and come back." said the person who came in afterward.

She glanced back, and the man smiled to herself, then watched him approach.

"The two are not locals!"

Ye Kexuan looked at him, feeling very strange, especially the smell on his body, which was not very pleasant, so she ignored him, turned to the shopkeeper and said, "It's still those two rooms."

The shopkeeper heard this and immediately led them up.

The man who spoke, saw their backs going up, sneered, and followed them. After seeing them entering the room, he went up and gave the shopkeeper a piece of silver, and pointed to the next room: "I live in this room."

The shopkeeper took the money, nodded and said, "Okay, what do you need, sir?"

"No need." The man said these two words, opened the door and entered the room.

Seeing him like this, the shopkeeper frowned, didn't think much, took the silver and went down.

At night, almost all fell asleep.

The man came out of the room, tiptoed to the door of Ouyang Birou's room, put his ear on the door and listened for a while, and after confirming that the person inside was asleep, he took out a long and thin tube from his arms and poked it into the door He blew into it.

After a while, he took out the dagger, inserted it into the crack of the door, and slowly opened the latch inside.

Soon, the door bolt was knocked open, he gently pushed the door open, went in and quickly closed the door, turned around and saw Ouyang Birou in white clothes in front of him, he was very frightened.

"You...haven't already..." You should have passed out, why didn't you?Thinking about turning around and opening the door and running.

Ouyang Birou drew out the soft sword at his waist, and just when his hand touched the door, the sword rested on his neck.

"Heroine, please forgive me." The man raised his hands and begged for mercy.

Ouyang Birou smiled charmingly, without mercy, wiped his neck with a sword.

She heard the movement and came over and knocked on the door.

"Mother, are you okay!" Ouyang Birou in the room looked at the dead man on the ground, and replied with a smile: "It's okay, go to sleep!"

After hearing this, she was puzzled for a moment, thinking that the beauty mother-in-law was strong in martial arts, so she should be fine, so she turned and went back to her room.

After she left, Ouyang Birou took out a bottle of corpse powder and poured it on the corpse. Soon even the blood was gone. Looking at the clean room, she turned her head and went back to bed, continuing to sleep.

The next morning, Ye Kexuan got up, but before the beauty mother-in-law got up, she went downstairs, had some food, and left the inn, but she had to explain to the shopkeeper when she left.

She was going to the Yamen, she couldn't wait here.

I found some people to ask for directions, and in a short while I arrived at the gate of the yamen, walked up the steps and walked inside.

"Stop." He was stopped when he reached the door.

"I want to see you adults." He looked at the person blocking him expressionlessly.

"Are you able to see my lord if you want? Be sensible, my lord is in a bad mood recently, don't ask for trouble." The matter of poaching the heart demon has made people panic, and they have not caught the heart-poaching demon so far. If it continues like this , It is estimated that the adult's black hat will not be guaranteed.

"Just tell your lords that Baolai Inn was misunderstood by him yesterday as a mind digger who wanted to see him."

When the gatekeeper heard about the Mind Digger, his expression immediately changed.

"Wait a minute." After finishing speaking, he went in to report.

After a while, the person who went to report came back and came to her.

"My lord, please come in."

After the man finished speaking, he led her in, and she followed behind into the hall.

When I went in, I saw an adult sitting on the right seat, and the person who led her brought her in and then backed out.

Master Yang saw that she didn't bow down, frowned, and said with a downcast face: "Why don't you kneel when you see me?"

"I'm afraid that my lord can't bear my kneeling." He smiled and walked to a seat beside him and sat down, then turned his head to look at Master Yang, "I just came here today to ask you when the city gate will open. There's something urgent."

Mr. Yang was still guessing who she was, but seeing that she spoke calmly, she didn't seem to be lying, so he asked, "Excuse me, who is the girl?"

"Who am I, sir? If you need to ask questions, you only need to answer my question."

Master Yang laughed and said: "If the girl can't produce something to prove her identity, I'm afraid I won't be able to believe what the girl said, if everyone is like the girl, then my mansion will be in chaos. "

She understood his caution, she also smiled at him, and took out a badge from her waist to show him: "Does your lord recognize this badge?"

Master Yang got up and came over, looked carefully, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately knelt down: "I pay my respects to the princess, and ask her to make amends."

"Get up!" she said lightly.

After Lord Yang got up, he looked at her and thought for a while. This person should be the princess who was conferred the year before last, General Li's wife, and the adopted daughter of the King of Xiangxi. It's just that the princess's biological mother passed away. He Lai's mother became puzzled: " Princess, who is the person in the inn?"

"That's the godmother I recognized outside, why?" She stared at Master Yang.

Master Yang realized that he had said something wrong, and immediately lowered his head: "I also invite the princess to move into the mansion, the inn is so messy."

"No need, you just need to give an order to let Ben Gong leave here. I still have urgent matters." She didn't want to stay in this crappy place.

Master Yang showed a look of embarrassment, and said: "Princess, it's not that the lower officials will not open, but the city lord will not let him, saying that he will not open the city gates unless he catches the mind-dug. Princess, you have been here for a day, and you have heard a little bit. Everyone said it was caused by monsters. Six of them have died this month. If we don’t catch them, we don’t know how many people died. The princess is mainly leaving at this time. Move into Xiaguan's mansion, let Xiaguan ensure the safety of the princess."

She had heard a little about the mind-digger, but as for who it was or a monster, she didn't know. Seeing that Mr. Yang was worried about her own safety, she rejected him with a smile.

"No need, I can protect myself."

Seeing the princess' refusal, Lord Yang said: "Then the official sent someone to Baolai Inn to protect the princess and ensure her safety."

If he did this, then she would not be a living target, and she immediately turned cold: "I don't need it, don't you understand?"

Seeing that the princess was angry, Lord Yang stopped talking, but felt that it was necessary to talk to the city lord about it.

"Okay, if that's the case, then take me to have a look, and I don't want others to know my identity, if anyone besides your lord knows, then I will definitely not be polite." The quilt on the small table shattered when squeezed.

Master Yang saw the princess crushing the quilt with one hand, sweating profusely in fright, and nodded his head again and again to reassure: "Your official will definitely not say anything, I will definitely not tell you, if you tell me, the princess will deal with it as you like."

Immediately dispel the thought just now, life is still important.

"Princess, please come with me."

Following him to the morgue, standing at the door, Lord Yang turned to her behind him and said, "My lord, this is it."

When Mr. Yang was about to say the word "princess", she glared at him, and Mr. Yang immediately changed his words and became a 'son'.

Master Yang pushed open the door and covered his nose: "Please, my lord."

It's very strange that the elders inside see the adults respectful to this thin young man, but they can't afford to offend people who are respectful to the adults.

Ye Kexuan walked over, glanced at the six corpses here, her face sank, and said, "Which one is the one that died yesterday?"

"My lord, this is it." Lord Yang led her there, pointing to the corpse covered with a white cloth.

She stretched out her hand to uncover it, and Master Yang beside her took two steps back, feeling very scary, she glanced at him from the corner of her eye, and then stared at the part that lost her heart.

It was obvious that she stabbed it in with sharp claws, and then grabbed the heart out. Looking at the wound, she smiled, no wonder there were rumors that it was caused by a monster. She reached out to hold the wound, took a look, and then got up to ask him.

"Is there anything suspicious on the body of the deceased?"

"No."

"Then what do these dead people have in common?"

When Master Yang saw her asking this, he said: "These people love to gamble, and they are addicted to gambling like their lives."

"Isn't that a damned person?" This is interesting, she smiled.

Master Yang and Zuo Zuo both smiled awkwardly.

"It is reasonable to say that he is indeed a person who deserves to die. It's just that if the murderer is not caught for a day, the common people will not feel at ease, and the lower officials will not sleep at night." He was afraid that one day he would be like these dead people.

"Then I wonder if you sent someone to watch some people who like to gamble?"

When she said this, Lord Yang was stunned, and immediately knew what to do, he turned around and went outside to order: "Come on, find out all the people in the city who are good at gambling, and then send someone to watch for me."

Seeing him like this, he knew he didn't, and couldn't help shaking his head, expressing that he was really stupid, and walked to the door and said: "The rest is your business, my lord."

After finishing speaking, he walked past him and planned to leave here.

Master Yang saw that she was going to leave, so he followed immediately, and said: "Master, you might as well stay for lunch, and I will let you bring your mother over here."

Hearing this, she stopped in her tracks, looked at him, and said with a smile: "My lord's son seems to have unruly intentions towards my mother, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat this meal then."

Master Yang looked embarrassed, and the smile on his face froze: "The lower official has already taught He Er a lesson, please forgive me, my lord."

Without saying a word, she walked towards the door.
