Yang Ning frowned. He had heard the name Shenhou Mansion several times. According to the information he got, Shenhou Mansion was a very special yamen. It mainly handled Jianghu affairs on behalf of the court. Such a yamen was different and also It seems unique and quite mysterious.
I just didn't expect that I would meet someone from the Shenhou Mansion tonight.
But think about it, if such a strange thing happens in the capital, it is natural that the Kyoto Prefecture will report the matter to the Shenhou Mansion, and the Shenhou Mansion will send people to investigate the matter.
"Since the two of them are from the Shenhou Mansion, they are naturally experts in investigating cases." Yang Ning put away the knife and said calmly: "I have long heard that there are quite a few experts in the Shenhou Mansion. When I saw them today, I was surprised. People are disappointed.”
The man sneered: "You don't have to resort to any means, you can't escape tonight."
"Let me ask you, how do you judge that I killed someone?" Yang Ning glanced at the woman, "Although the Shenhou Mansion handles Jianghu affairs, it is the government's yamen after all. I think there should be a set of regulations. There is no evidence. , how can you easily convict someone?"
"Evidence?" The woman snorted coldly, "You didn't kill the person, so why were you at the scene of the crime? There was blood on your body, and you were ready to run when you saw me. If you weren't feeling guilty, why would you run?"
Yang Ning frowned and said: "Girl, you didn't finish three sentences and you concluded that I am a murderer and you still want to attack me. If I don't run away, am I still waiting to be killed by you?" He snorted coldly and said: "Because I At the scene of the crime, so I am the murderer. Don’t you think this logic is ridiculous? Can’t it be considered a self-defense testimony if I said that I passed by this place, noticed something strange, and entered the alley to see the body? "
The woman said: "You said you were passing by this place? Passing by here in the middle of the night?"
Yang Ning waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I won't tell you anymore. Since you don't believe it, you can take me to Shenhou Mansion first and find two experienced people to investigate."
"Are you willing to surrender without mercy?"
"Don't put it in such a bad way." Yang Ning sighed: "Sister, are you a novice? Why do I find that you are very new to handling cases?"
The girl said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, hand over the knife and come back to the Yamen with us."
Yang Ning saw the cold faces of these two guys and knew that he couldn't explain the truth to them for a while. He wanted to reveal his identity as Jin Yihou, but looking at this, even if his identity was revealed, these two guys would not be able to explain it. I don’t believe it. In this case, it’s better to just follow them to the Shenhou Mansion.
Since the Shenhou Mansion handles Jianghu affairs for the imperial court, it is naturally not an ordinary yamen. There must be some shrewd and capable people among them. At least the leader of the Shenhou Mansion, Ximen Wuhen, will not be a person who cannot distinguish between right and wrong. With these two If the guy can't explain clearly, he might as well go to Shenhou Mansion and find someone else to explain it clearly.
He threw the cold blade over, and the woman reached out to catch it. Yang Ning sneered and said, "You have to be careful. This knife is worth thousands of gold. If there is any damage, I'm afraid you can't afford to pay for it."
The woman said nothing and put away the cold blade.
Yang Ning thought of the guard and said, "By the way, I have a companion over there. I can't leave him here. Since I'm going to the Shenhou Mansion, he has to take him there too."
"It turns out there is an accomplice." The man said: "Junior sister, where is his accomplice? Let's catch him together." Although his tone was still calm, Yang Ning was keenly aware that there was a hint of excitement that could not be concealed. .
Yang Ning's heart was clear. The Shenhou Mansion must have been chasing the blood-sucking Bronze General recently, but they have never been able to catch it. Tonight, these two guys thought they had caught the real culprit. If this is true, they must have made a conspiracy. Huge credit, no wonder this man is so excited.
It can also be seen from this that neither of these two people are veterans.
Yang Ning followed the two people back. When the man saw the body, he squatted down and checked it. Yang Ning saw that he was very neat when checking. She knew that this guy had indeed been trained. When he stood up, , Yang Ning suddenly stared at him and said: "You are the murderer!"
The man was startled, and then said angrily: "What did you say?"
"I said you are the murderer." Yang Ning smiled lightly and said: "You are also at the crime scene now, and your hands are stained with blood, so of course you are also the murderer."
The man clenched his fists, took two steps forward, and said sternly: "Say it again!"
Only then did Yang Ning see clearly that this man was only in his early twenties, and he was pretty handsome, but he was young, energetic and full of fire.
"Senior Brother Seventh, don't talk to him." The woman turned her head, looked at Yang Ning, pointed at the guard leaning against the wall not far away and said, "Go and carry him!"
Yang Ning shook his head and said: "No!"
The Seventh Senior Brother said angrily: "Just do whatever I ask you to do. Why don't you go on?"
Yang Ning said calmly: "I promise to go back with you for trial. Until the result is obtained, I am not a criminal, but a suspect at most. You are not my boss, and I am not your slave. Of course you have no right to give orders to me. .”
The seventh senior brother was startled and turned back to look at the woman.
The junior sister hesitated for a moment and then said, "If you don't carry him, why should we carry him?"
"You also said that he is my accomplice. Since I am considered a suspect by you, of course my accomplice cannot escape." Yang Ning said: "If you leave him alone, you are covering up the criminal. Since you want to arrest someone, of course it is If you think of a way to take them back, why would you want me to help you arrest them?"
The seventh senior brother was a little confused by Yang Ning's words, and he couldn't help but said: "Little junior sister, he... what he said seems to make sense."
The junior sister snorted coldly and said, "Since it makes sense, you can carry him back."
"Me?" Seventh Senior Brother was startled, "But...!"
The junior sister said: "What? You don't want to?"
The seventh senior brother actually seemed to be very afraid of the little junior sister. He had no choice but to put away his knife and stepped forward to carry the guard on his back.
The seventh senior brother was in front, and the younger junior sister asked Yang Ning to follow behind the seventh senior brother. She followed behind Yang Ning with a long whip in hand, keeping a close eye on Yang Ning to guard against Yang Ning's tricks.
After walking for half an hour, we arrived at a quiet long street. We walked along a gray-white courtyard wall to the main entrance. We saw two stone lions with teeth and claws in front of the door. The dark door looked glowing in the night. In the dark light, there were guards dressed like the little junior sister standing on each side in front of the door. There was a plaque hanging on the door with three large gilt characters "Shenhou Mansion" written on it.
When Yang Ning saw the Shenhou Mansion, he thought that before, he only thought that the Shenhou Mansion was very grand, but now it seems that it is very ordinary.
Entering the house, the younger junior sister already said: "Seventh Senior Brother, you lock up that person first, I will take this person for interrogation." Without saying much, he urged Yang Ning from behind behind him to wander around the house. This divine prince The house didn't light a few lights at night, so it looked very cold and dim. Entering a side courtyard, the house was lit with lights. The junior sister let Yang Ning enter the house. As soon as she entered the house, a strange smell filled the nose from the house. middle.
Yang Ning looked around and saw that the room was quite spacious, but everywhere he looked, there were all kinds of torture instruments, which was shocking.
In the middle of the room, there was an old wooden table with a lamp lit. Two men were sleeping on the table. The junior sister coughed, and one of them woke up immediately. He looked up and saw the junior sister and hurriedly Pushing his companions to wake up, they stood up and said in unison: "Junior sister is back?" Then they all turned their attention to Yang Ning and saw Yang Ning's splendid clothes and jade belt. He even had his hands behind his back and was looking around. They couldn't help but be very curious and didn't know. What is Yang Ning's background
The junior sister stepped forward, took off her bamboo hat, and then took off her purple cloak. Then she turned to Yang Ning and said, "Come here!"
Yang Ning walked by with a smile on her face. Under the light, she could see clearly. She was wearing a cyan open-front moiré brocade robe and black thin-soled boots. Her skin was white and her appearance was very beautiful. Although she was She is a woman, but her eyebrows are not as thin as willow leaves like those of ordinary women. Instead, they are somewhat bushy and slanted into her temples. Her bright eyes are as cold as autumn water. Her whole person gives off a heroic and clean look.
This little junior sister looks like she is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but her demeanor looks quite mature.
"Sit down!" The junior sister pointed to the opposite side and motioned Yang Ning to sit down on a small stool opposite. However, she sat down on a big chair. After Yang Ning sat down opposite, the junior junior sister said coldly. He said: "I ask you a question, and you answer, if you dare to lie, you have seen how many torture instruments there are here. Since you know the Shenhou Mansion, of course you also know that the Shenhou Mansion will never be polite to people who play tricks." "
Yang Ning smiled lightly and said, "Before the interrogation, can I make a request?"
"Request?" Junior Sister frowned, "This is the Shenhou Mansion. You are on trial now, this is not the place for you to make demands."
Yang Ning sighed: "If you want to interrogate me, I always have to answer questions, but my mouth is dry now, how can I explain honestly?"
The junior sister thought for a moment and then said to the person next to her: "Get him some water."
One person went to get water, and the other person walked to the side of Junior Sister, stared at Yang Ning, and asked doubtfully: "Little Junior Sister, what kind of case is this? What did this person commit?"
"He is a blood-sucking guy." The junior sister said bitterly: "Several lives have been lost in his hands. Fortunately, we caught him tonight. Otherwise, if the news spread at this time, it would definitely make people in the capital panic."
The man was startled, looked at Yang Ning for a few times, and said in surprise: "Little junior sister, you... are you telling the truth? This... this guy is the vampire weirdo?" He looked suspicious, obviously not believing it.
Yang Ning laughed and said: "I just said, the Shenhou Mansion is not all confused people, there are still some sensible people." He smiled at the man and said: "I said, brother, you look at me like a murderer and a blood sucker. A criminal?"
Before the man could answer, the younger junior sister had already said coldly: "This is the Shenhou Mansion. This is not a place for you to smile playfully. You are not allowed to smile."
Her face was sulky, but Yang Ning saw it and felt that there was something indescribable about this cold and pretty woman getting angry.
