Xu Xin was embarrassed, I just said it casually, but I didn't expect to find out!

"Do you want to come over to our Hulong Villa and leave your filthy Imperial City Secretary?" Yidao said to Xu Xin with a little appreciation.

"My lord, we are doing business for the emperor no matter where we are. My boss seems to be calling me, so I'll go there first." After Xu Xin finished speaking, he trotted back to Li Si.

Just kidding, I still know how many catties and taels I have. If I join Hulong Mountain Villa, let alone whether I can fool around, I don't want to wade into that muddy water in the future when the rebellion happens.

……

"This little lieutenant is quite interesting. I see that the rest of the Imperial City Department is a bunch of people who eat and drink, but this kid is different, interesting, haha!" At this moment, Cheng Zhengfei Appearing out of nowhere, with one hand on Gui Hai Yidao's shoulder, looking at Xu Xin's leaving back, he smiled heartily.

"It's kind of interesting, it's a little different from the other bastards in the Imperial City Division. I didn't notice the wound just now, but he did." Yi Dao said coldly.

"Also, if you don't think you have too many hands, don't put my shoulder on your shoulder next time you talk!" He patted Cheng Fei's hand on his shoulder and added.

"Why are you always like this? It's not fun at all. Haha." Cheng Zhengfei's laughter echoed in the yard.

Only Shangguan Haitang watched all this quietly.

"This little captain is indeed a bit different, but at the age of seventeen or eighteen, he is already at the late stage of entraining Qi. It's a pity that he entered the Imperial City Division. It's a pity that it's not about strength in that kind of place..."

After watching Xu Xin's leaving back, Shangguan Haitang looked up at the moon again.

……

Chapter 2 Yan Thirteen?

Leaving the scene of the murder, Xu Xin and the two hurried back to the Imperial City Guard Office. After reporting to the Xiaoqi officer, they returned to the current month's office.

Li Si looked at Xu Xin who was lying back on the bench again, and scolded his head and face, "You know how to sleep all day long, did you not get enough sleep when you were lying on the bed for several months?"

"Didn't you just wake up the boss after half asleep~ Let's catch up on sleep." Xu Xin replied as if he was coping.

Then he turned his back to Li Si who was reading a book, and secretly took out something from his arms, which was the secret letter obtained from Ying Bailuo's body.

Although the system prompts that it is a confidential letter, when Xu Xin spread it out, ten thousand elephants are running in his heart... This is obviously a small piece of paper only one finger wide.

With the help of the dim light, Xu Xin squinted slightly to read the words on the note.

"On July [-]th, five miles outside the capital, under the big pagoda tree in Xiaolizhuang, give the masked man under the tree what was entrusted earlier."

Only a few words of information, without leaving a signature.

But...Little Lizhuang is not far away.

It's a good rest tomorrow, so I can go over and have a look in advance.

Thinking of this, Xu Xin crumpled the note calmly, stuffed it back into his pocket, and slowly closed his eyes.

……

The next day, Xu Xin set off directly to Xiao Lizhuang.

Wulidi, although not far away, took a lot of time.

When approaching Zhuangzi, Xu Xin saw from a distance that the little Zhuangzi seemed to be extremely lively today.

When I took a closer look, I was dumbfounded. They all seemed to be from Hulong Villa!

"Brother, I'm from the Imperial City Division of the capital. What's going on? There's such a big battle?" Xu Xin took out his badge, and casually grabbed a small yamen servant who was pulling the warning line outside to ask.

The yamen servant looked at the badge in Xu Xin's hand, and immediately said respectfully: "My lord, Xiao Lizhuang has been wiped out."

"What?" Xu Xin's eyes widened.

This matter is not simple. First, the disciples of the Huashan School were killed, and now Xiaoli Village near the capital has been wiped out.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, who is so daring?

"Hey, I don't know which vicious and ruthless person this little Lizhuang offended. Except for a young boy, all the people in the village were killed by the villain, a total of 120 people.

Hearing that Master Tiedan Shenhou was furious when he heard the news, he ordered the matter to be thoroughly investigated. "

"It really needs to be checked... I'll go in and have a look!"

Relying on his waist badge and the "prestige" of the Imperial City Guard in the capital, Xu Xin arrived under the big locust tree in the center of Zhuangzi without hindrance.

I saw that the four secret agents of Tiandi Xuanhuang were already under the big locust tree, looking at the corpse of a masked man under the tree.

Guihai Yidao looked up and saw Xu Xin. He was a little surprised but calmed down soon.

"Why are you again? What are you doing here?"

"That's the guy I told you was interesting just now."

Cheng Shifei of the yellow name hooked Duan Tianya of the Tian name with a smile on his face.

When Xu Xin saw the masked corpse on the ground, his eyes began to glow.Those who can dispatch spies to check are probably masters!

"What excuse should I find to touch it? Touch it carefully, there it is!"

"My lord, after saying goodbye to several adults yesterday, I found a note not far from the door, which said that people should come here for handover, so I want to come here to find out what happened, my lords Could it be convenient for me to check the corpse?" Xu Xin cupped his hands and smiled.

"Let's go." Shangguan Haitang of Xuan Zihao nodded in agreement.

She wanted to see what new clues Xu Xin could find this time.

"Thank you sir!" Xu Xin rolled up his sleeves when he heard Shangguan Haitang's words, and ecstatically reached out to touch the corpse.

"Do you think this kid is under some kind of curse, that people will die wherever he goes? Hahaha." Cheng Shifei patted Tianya's chest with his hands grinning.

When Xu Xin heard Cheng Zhengfei's words, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he didn't say anything, he just knelt down and touched the corpse.

[Touch Zhong Zhen's body and gain one-tenth of its internal strength. 】

[After touching Zhong Zhen's body, he has learned the "Nine Curved Swordsmanship" in his Songshan swordsmanship. 】

"This guy is kind of poor, he has no money or treasures..."

"Fortunately, there is still a sword technique."

After pretending to rummage around, Xu Xin slowly got up.

Facing the four secret agents, he said respectfully: "My lords, if I guess correctly, this person should be Zhong Zhen from the Songshan School, and he can be regarded as a master, but in comparison, the person who killed him is even more skilled in martial arts. Gao Chao, who sealed his throat with a sword but did not see a drop of blood."

"You're right, do you know him?" At this time, Tianya also became interested. It's really not easy to discern so much information from just observing a dead body.

"I don't know him, but based on the pattern on the sword and the slender and light blade, we can deduce that he is using the Songshan School's Nine-Curved Sword Technique, and with his age, we can roughly guess that this person is Zhong Zhen. "Xu Xin explained solemnly.

Several people nodded slightly after listening.

Xu Xin's observation ability is really good.

"We rescued the only survivor from the bottom of the well. According to the boy's dictation, this Zhong Zhen suddenly appeared in Zhuangzi this morning."

At this time, Shangguan Haitang looked at Xu Xin and said.

"At first, Zhong Zhen poured medicine into the well. Some of the people who wanted to poison the village to death died not long after drinking the water."

Shangguan Haitang drew out her saber while talking, walked into the male corpse on the ground, and stabbed hard.

"This insane bastard saw that there were still people who didn't drink water! He actually started to kill the remaining people, and even planned to push the boy over there into the well to drown!"

After Xu Xin heard this, he looked around and found that some of the corpses had multiple injuries, while others died of vomiting blood.

"The boy said that at the moment when he was about to fall, he saw another man in black appearing, using a long black sword, he eliminated Zhong Zhen with one blow."

"Oh? Is it because of the internal strife?" Xu Xin raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

Shangguan Haitang smiled slightly, and shook his head: "The boy said that the man in black has a skull tattoo on his face, looks cold, and calls himself... Yan Shisan!"

Yan Shisan?

I went, and that one actually appeared?

Xu Xin was startled, and then became excited.

If there is a chance to touch Yan Shisan's body, Thirteen Killing Swords... No, Fifteen Killing Swords!

"That's why I said that Yan Shisan is weird, and he has gone crazy for practicing swordsmanship. I usually only hear him killing people, but I didn't expect him to save people. It's similar to you. He always kills the enemy with one move. What do you say? No~ Yidao~" At this time, Cheng Shifei laughed and walked towards Guihai Yidao while talking.

Gui Hai didn't say a word, and silently made a gesture of drawing his sword.

"These four spies are just like the ones on TV, one is almost dumb... one can't control himself... one is domineering Yujie... and one is a robot with no feelings... tsk Tut tut."

Xu Xin shook his head, and his gaze focused on the corpse at his feet again, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

I thought there would be some big surprises this trip, but this is not a loss, at least I got some internal strength and a sword technique.

"Why, did you find anything?" Shangguan Haitang asked suddenly after noticing Xu Xin's expression.

Xu Xin was taken aback for a moment, and he wanted to get the benefits before he slipped away, but when the other party asked, it was not good to just leave without saying anything.

So, he cleared his throat, smiled lightly and said, "Do you think that Zhong Zhen's strange behavior will vent his anger for murder, or hide something and kill him?"

After listening, the four of them looked at Xu Xin in unison...

Chapter 3 I Don't Believe In Evil

"Come on, tell me what you think."

Shangguan Haitang looked at Xu Xindao with a smile.

Xu Xin didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "According to the note I picked up yesterday, it said that there was a transaction here today. I guess this Zhongzhen should be one of the traders."

"There are only two possibilities to kill the villagers in the whole village."

"One is to prevent leaks, so kill people in advance to silence the story, and even use the murder case to divert attention."

"The other possibility is more frightening. Maybe someone in Xiao Li Zhuang is also a trader. They failed to negotiate a deal with Zhong Zhen, and Zhong Zhen slaughtered this Xiao Li Zhuang in a fit of anger."

"These two possibilities, no matter which one, show that the benefits and returns involved in this transaction are amazing. There may be major events happening recently. Therefore, I suggest that all adults can investigate from this aspect."

Xu Xin clasped his hands, secretly glanced at the four of them from the corner of his eyes, and observed the changes in their expressions.

"Important matter?" Shangguan Haitang frowned after hearing this, and fell into deep thought.

"The emperor's recent state banquet does not count... It's just that vassal kings from all over the country and foreign countries come to Beijing for pilgrimage, which is also the norm in previous years. Could it be..." Cheng Shifei said suddenly.

It's just that before he finished speaking, he was immediately interrupted by a look from Shangguan Haitang.

"Okay, we will refer to what you said. Where is the note you mentioned?" Shangguan Haitang looked at Xu Xin again and said.

"Here!" Xu Xin smiled slightly, took out the secret letter, and handed it directly to Shangguan Haitang.

"Okay, we'll take over this, you go back first. Brother, let's have a drink together when you have time!" Cheng Shifei stepped forward and patted Xu Xin on the shoulder.

"Okay, farewell!"

Xu Xin wanted to slip away a long time ago, and when he heard this, he left without looking back.

Back in the city, it was almost time for dinner.

The setting sun fell on the street, and in several alleys, the smell of food from every household wafted in.

But Xu Xin didn't have any appetite at all. When he came back from Lizhuang, he was almost exhausted and his breathing was a little short.

It seems that this strength is still not enough, you have to touch more corpses, absorb more internal energy, or touch a master...

"Hey, Xu Xin! What are you doing, kid? Look at you! I usually tell you to exercise more, but you just don't listen."

At this time, a familiar voice suddenly came from the front.

Xu Xin looked up and saw that it was Li Si, his immediate boss.

"Huh... didn't I just go for a run on the school field to exercise my body? Where are you going, boss? Why don't you go to the Spring Breeze Building for a drink?"

"No, no, I still have something to do today, let your sister-in-law know that I'm going to drink flower wine, and don't strip me..."

Li Si shook his head repeatedly and said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll go by myself, see you tomorrow!"

In fact, Xu Xin also knows that he will be transferred in the near future, and Li Si's family has a fierce wife. At such an important juncture, he dare not make a big noise to ruin his reputation.

……

"Hey, isn't this Master Xu? Master Xu, why don't you come and try your luck?"

Xu Xin was thinking while walking.

Unknowingly, he walked to the door of the Four Seas Casino.

Four sturdy men stood guard at the door, with smiles scarier than anger on their faces, smiling flatteringly.
