The Golden Hairpin

The fire burned into the early hours of the morning, and the horizon was reflected in red. The entire Chengdu mansion was alarmed and came from all directions to fight the fire.

Jing Yu's body was taken away by the people of Yizhuang, and his remains were repaired.

Huang Zixian and Zhou Ziqin searched the discarded corpses for a long time, and found that they were very clean, wearing ordinary people’s clothes, and there was nothing on them that could indicate their identity. Even the weapons in their hands had been worn out. Casting the mark.

Carrying the guards in the city is not good after all. Li Shubai ordered the guards around him to disperse, sometimes secretly following them. The remaining four of them looked at the ashes in front of them, all silent. In order to pursue and kill Li Shubai, the other party not only dared to kill Princess Qile, but now even the innocent civilians around the whole street are completely ignored, killing many people in the flames and causing many people to be displaced.

"Asshole... I must find this arsonist by myself!" Zhou Ziqin gritted his teeth and said angrily.

Huang Zixian frowned and said: "There is such a large-scale fire, and the surrounding buildings are all controlled by them. The front and rear doors are blocked and closed. The process and details are all planned in advance. I am afraid that the group of behind-the-scenes murderers targeted at the prince. The power is far from what you can imagine."

Zhou Ziqin curled his lips: "I care about who they are. Anyway, they committed crimes in Shu County. As the chief catcher of Shu County, I must fight them to the end!"

Several people walked out of the alley that was burnt to rubble, and suddenly saw a woman among the crowd in front of them anxiously looking around among the escaped crowd, identifying the person walking out of it. She has a graceful figure and light walks. Even though her face is very anxious, her figure is still conspicuous in such a crowded and chaotic crowd.

Zhou Ziqin greeted her: "Miss, who are you looking for?"

Gongsun Yuan looked back and saw the four of them. After being stunned, he took a sigh of relief and walked quickly to them and said, "I'm looking for you!"

"Huh? Worry about us?" Zhou Ziqin patted his chest, as if he had forgotten that he was almost frightened. "Don't worry, who are we? Of course we are unscathed!"

"Look at you like this, don't blow it." Gongsun Yuan looked at their dusty and embarrassed appearance, and helped him pat the dust on his body.

"Auntie, where do you live now? Let's go to your inn together, too." Huang Zixia asked.

Gongsun Yuan nodded and said, "After I was harassed by those two people, I lived in the Yunlai Inn two blocks away. Come with me."

Yunlai Inn is very quiet. Although it is an inconspicuous small inn, the garden is planted with bamboo and orchid grass, and Koizumi is also dazzled, which makes the few people who have just been burnt feel that it is simply perfect.

"Turn around from the burned inn next to it?" The shopkeeper was an old trader. Seeing their appearance, it suddenly became clear, "Has the luggage been rescued? Do you still have money with you?"

Zhang Xingying, who had been in a daze, finally came back to her senses at this time and was a little touched: "Thank you, boss, for your concern..."

Huang Zixia interrupted him: "Don't worry, you won't be unable to pay for your room."

Gongsun Yuan immediately said, "I'll pay."

Zhou Ziqin waved his hand boldly: "Don't worry, all expenses will be paid by the yamen!"

Seeing so many people rushing to pay, the shopkeeper was relieved: "Oh, that's good."

The touch on Zhang Xingying's face suddenly stiffened, and the expression of depressed grief returned.

When a few people arrived in the room, the first thing was to ask Xiao Er to fetch water and wash his body quickly, and then they gathered in the front shop to order food and eat together.

"Oh... I have never had such an embarrassing midnight snack..." Zhou Ziqin exclaimed as he looked at the dawning sky outside, "I have never had such a rich breakfast..."

After groping for a long time in the fire scene, the men were okay. Huang Zixia's throat was damaged by the smoke, and she kept coughing against her chest. Fortunately, Zhou Ziqin had asked the store to cook a large bowl of Sydney loquat, and let everyone drink it first to get rid of the anger.

"Chonggu, you are the most serious, you have to drink more!" Zhou Ziqin desperately poured soup on her.

Huang Zixian drank water and was really unwell, so she had to find Gongsun Yuan for an excuse to come and meet, and escaped Zhou Ziqin's hospitality.

When Gongsunyuan came to the shop with Huang Zixia, they found another woman in her thirties who was behind them. She was petite and exquisite, like an inconspicuous maid behind the swaying Gongsunyuan.

When she walked in front of them and raised her head after saluting them, they discovered that her face was like the first bloom of a begonia, dizzy under the lamp, even if she was surrounded by a layer of sorrow, she did not have a charming and moving style.

"This is my fourth sister Yin Luyi, who has just arrived in Chengdu Mansion today. I left a note on the house in A Ruan Songhuali, and Lu Yi arrived in Chengdu Mansion today and found it."

Zhou Ziqin suddenly realized: "Oh, you left the note on the door for the sisters? I'm still wondering what that paper kite is."

Gongsun Yuan nodded, pulling Yin Luyi and sitting down beside them. Yin Luyi was reticent, and everyone at the banquet was also worried about Jing Yu's death. The meal was extremely dull. It was not until the end that Zhou Ziqin asked Yin Luyi: "I wonder what Siniang are you good at?"

Seeing Zhou Ziqin ask her for her unique skills, Yin Luyi did not speak, but turned her hand at him, and a pomegranate flower appeared between her fingers.

"Huh? Where did the flower come from?" Zhou Ziqin asked for it in surprise. Yin Luyi turned her hand around, rubbed the flower twice with her palms together, and reached out to him again. I saw a pomegranate appeared in her palm, golden and pink, round and round, very cute.

Zhou Ziqin grabbed the pomegranate and asked in surprise, "So you can do tricks?"

"Yangzhou people have a birthday banquet. If you can invite Luyi a trick, it is a sensational event in the city." Gongsun Yuan said, took the pomegranate from him, and broke the pomegranate into several pieces for everyone to eat. .

The pomegranate is as fresh as it was just picked from the tree, and it tastes sweet and sour. Only Yin Luyi was holding a broken pomegranate in her hand, with tears in her eyes and unable to swallow.

Gongsun Yuan sighed and said to her: "I know you have always been sentimental, but in fact, the deceased is already dead. A Ruanneng went with her lover. She must be happy in her heart. Why do you feel so sad for her."

"Yes... I can't look away anymore." Yin Luyi said, but still startled.

"I think A Ruan's death must have inside information, so I have entrusted Mr. Zhou to investigate on his behalf." Gongsun Yuan looked at Zhou Ziqin and said eagerly, "Now our sisters are all going to trust Lai to catch their heads. The truth about Ruan’s love, anyway... Let us know what happened to her, why didn’t she ask us for help and chose to die.”

"Anything, please rest assured." Zhou Ziqin promised, "Since I am the appointed chief catcher of Shu County, I will find out the truth of all cases that occur in Shu County, and I will never let any case remain. Next question!"

Yin Luyi looked up at him. Just as he was about to say something, Gongsun Yuan already said to Zhou Ziqin gratefully: "Thank you, Zhou Shao, for catching her head! My sister's grievances depend on you for everything!"

Zhou Ziqin promised, and remembered one more thing: "Speaking of which, the Chengdu government will have a banquet tomorrow, I wonder if you can come to join us?"

Gongsun Yuan and Yin Luyi looked at each other, and said, "Since Zhou Shao catches his head and speaks, he will be at the banquet tomorrow. I don't know who to entertain, how do you plan to add to the fun?"

"It's true that General Fan will visit the county governor's house tomorrow. One is for the new county governor to arrive in Shu County to get close to matters. The other is for the marriage of Jiedu's judge Qi Teng and my sister. Du Shi is a martial artist, and he must like sword dance. This is what the aunt is good at."

Gongsun Yuan nodded and said: "Yes. But I think...this time is a festive day after all, and the little sister who catches the head probably won't like swords, lights, swords and shadows."

Zhou Ziqin frowned and said, "This...I can't control her, after all, the guest is the most important thing."

"I have a good idea. A Ruan helped me re-arrange the sword dance before and made several changes. Although it is still a sword dance, but the beauty of it is more beautiful than the green waist. Rou has both. Now Luyi is here, and someone will help me prepare. I will perform my new dance tomorrow, and I will never let you down."

Zhou Ziqin Daxi said: "Since the lady said that, it must be a wonderful performance! Okay, then we will wait and see tomorrow."

"One more thing, please let someone help me prepare the things I need in my dance tomorrow." She asked Xiao Er to bring a pen and paper over, wrote a list, and handed it to Zhou Ziqin.

Zhou Ziqin looked at it and read what she wanted: "Two pairs of cowhide lanterns, a basket of petals, ten pairs of butterflies..."

When he read this, he couldn't help asking in surprise: "Butterfly? Is it possible that the sword dance this time was released by the way?"

Although Gongsun Yuan was depressed, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and smiled, saying, "The secrets of heaven must not be revealed, and that's all for me, but the internal organs are capable of eating in undressed clothes, so I definitely can't tell others."

Zhou Ziqin grabbed his head and smiled embarrassedly, and said, "I study corpses at home all day. How can I know this? I'll ask someone to prepare."

"Be sure to remember that it is alive. We are unfamiliar with people here. We can't find a living butterfly ourselves." Gongsun Yuan said again.

"Guaranteed it's just alive! Leave it to me, no problem!" Zhou Ziqin said, looking at the pomegranate in Yin Luyi's hand with envy, and said, "Speaking of which, why didn't Si Niang come to the capital before? , Your craftsmanship is amazing."

Yin Luyi was small and her voice was soft and gentle, and said, "More than ten years ago, I went to the capital with my sisters, but at that time Zhou Catch was still a child. However, I have a few disciples and a few others. Those who have gone to the capital, I heard that they are often in the west city of the capital."

Zhou Ziqin asked hurriedly, "How can I find it?"

"My eldest disciple and my second disciple are together. They are a couple, older than me. I gave them a trained white bird when I left. Maybe you can see it by looking for it."

Huang Zixia immediately understood, and said: "I have seen that couple in West Market. But they have ordinary skills, and the white bird was also sold."

At that time, Wang Yun, who bought the white bird, starred in a cage bird that suddenly disappeared in Xianyou Temple, which led to all sorts of unexpected events afterwards.

Yin Luyi nodded and said, "It is most unwise to seek quick success and instant benefits over skills. After Sun University, he felt that he was enough to walk the rivers and lakes and bid me farewell. Rong Niang is better, she has learned a few good things, but If her husband wants to leave, she can only go with him."

Zhou Ziqin hurriedly said, "Why don't Siniang show us a helping hand after tomorrow's banquet?"

Yin Luyi silently lowered her head and said, "It doesn't need to be. In the dance of the aunt tomorrow, there are some places that can be used for me, and you will be able to see it at that time."
