Yang Ning tidied up his clothes. At this time, the man who fetched water came back with an enamel bowl in his hand. He filled half the bowl of water and placed it on the table in front of Yang Ning very unceremoniously. He said fiercely: "When you get here, just be honest. If you really don't want to play tricks, Junior Sister will interrogate you personally. If you play tricks, I will treat you well."

Yang Ning ignored him and picked up the enamel bowl. Seeing that the edge of the enamel bowl was a little yellow, she frowned, put it down, and said, "Change a bowl of tea!"

"Oh, who do you think you are?" The man rolled up his sleeves, "I poured you water. This is already an exception. If you are still picky, believe it or not, I will punch you to death."

Yang Ning glanced at the man and said calmly: "Do all the yamen of the Shenhou Mansion call themselves Lao Tzu? They beat people before they say a few words. Is this also the rule of the Shenhou Mansion?"

"It's his mother's fault, this kid really has the heart of a bear but the courage of a leopard." The man said angrily: "If I don't teach you a lesson, you really don't know where the Shenhou Mansion is." He was about to hit the woman with his fist. Already said in a cold voice: "Chen Qi, stop!"

Although Chen Qi was much older than the junior sister, he was obviously still very wary of the junior sister. He retracted his fist and said fiercely to Yang Ning: "If you don't want to drink, don't drink. This is not a place for you to be arrogant." He walked to the junior sister. Next to him, he asked: "Little junior sister, what has this kid committed?"

The junior sister said: "He is the vampire monster!"

"Ah?" Chen Qi changed his color slightly. It was obvious that the Shenhou Mansion knew about the existence of vampire monsters. He said in horror: "Little junior sister, this... this guy is the dog we have been chasing for a long time?" He stared at Yang Ning and said: " Killing this kind of guy a hundred times is not enough. Junior sister, you are really powerful. The Lord Shen must be very happy for your great achievements this time."

Suddenly I heard footsteps approaching, and saw that the seventh senior brother had walked in, holding a file in his hand. He walked to the table, pulled a chair and sat down next to the younger sister, opened the file, and asked someone to take the pen and ink. , then stared at Yang Ning and said: "Tell me, what is your name? Where do you live?"

Yang Ning sat on the stool and couldn't lean on him even if he wanted to. He touched his nose and said, "My surname is Qi Ning, from the capital!"

"Qining... People from the capital...!" The seventh senior brother put down his pen and put down the file. He raised his head and suddenly heard Chen Qi say: "Qining? Your name is Qining?"

Yang Ning nodded and said, "Yes, what's the problem?"

Chen Qi sneered: "How could you call me Qining? Can you call me Qining?"

"That's strange. What's wrong with my name being Qining?" Yang Ning said lightly, "Is it okay to call me Cat and Dog?"

The seventh senior brother seemed to have reacted. He looked at the junior sister next to him and said softly: "Little junior sister, have you heard of the name Qining? This... this seems to have the same name as Jin Yihou!"

"Marquis Jin Yi?" The younger junior sister frowned.

The Seventh Senior Brother said: "The imperial court issued an edict just a few days ago, granting the title of Grand General Qi to his heir apparent. It seems that the Marquis of Jin Yi is also named Qin Ning."

"There are many people with the same name and surname in the world." The junior sister never smiled, "Does the name Qining have something to do with Jin Yihou?"

Chen Qi said with a smile: "What the junior sister said is that a person like Jinyihou must be majestic. There is a world of difference between this boy and Jinyihou." Hehehe smiled and said: "A few days ago, I heard that Jinyihou and Dou Lianzhong were in Kyoto. There was a lawsuit with the government, and Dou Lianzhong was in a state of embarrassment. The Marquis of Jinyi was naturally wise and powerful, but this guy looked very wretched, how could he deserve to have the same name as the Marquis of Jinyi?"

Yang Ning was originally very disgusted with Chen Qi, but after hearing him praise Jin Yihou so much, the disgust in his heart was reduced a bit.

"By the way, girl, what's your name?" Yang Ning stared at the bright but cold eyes of the younger junior sister and asked with a smile: "I don't know your name yet."

The Seventh Senior Brother said with a cold face: "Can you ask me my junior sister's name? You are just trying to get something wrong. Don't forget that you are a criminal."

Yang Ning smiled and said: "I am a suspect now, and you are not sure that I am a criminal yet. If you want to interrogate me, of course I need to know your names. If you wrongly accuse me then, I want to clear my name. I can't even be a criminal." I don’t know who has wronged me.” He smiled at the junior sister and said, “Girl, you said what I said is right?”

Seeing that Yang Ning was still smiling playfully at this time, the junior sister coldly snorted and said: "You will never change your thief nature. People who are wise don't tell secrets. My name is Ximen Zhanying. Remember it!"

"Oh, please tell me, what are the two characters in your name?"

"Zhan Zhan, Hongying Ying, are you satisfied?" Junior sister Ximen Zhanying said coldly.

Yang Ning wondered: "Although this girl's name is heroic, it also carries murderous intent. Why does a girl's name have the word 'war' in it? Doesn't this seem inappropriate?"

"boom!"

The Seventh Senior Brother slapped his palm on the table and said sternly: "Stop, if you keep talking nonsense, I will kill you with one knife." He asked in a cold voice: "Be honest, why did you kill people and suck blood? The first murder case was from When did it start? In addition to committing crimes in the capital, where else have you killed people?"

Yang Ning shook his head and said: "I have already said that I did not kill anyone, let alone suck people's blood. It is the crime you want to incriminate."

"You said you happened to pass by that alley and then went in. Then explain why you passed that alley in the middle of the night?" Ximen Zhanying stared at Yang Ning's eyes, "You still have a knife on you...!" Jiang Yang Ning took out the cold blade and shook it, "If he is a good person, why would he carry a knife on the street in the middle of the night?"

Yang Ning said: "I heard that the capital is not very safe recently. I am a timid person. Can't I bring a knife to defend myself when I go out?"

"Of course not." Ximen Zhanying sneered: "Don't you know that our great Chu has already issued a sword hunting order? Ordinary people are not allowed to carry hidden weapons, otherwise they will be punished for treason. Let's not talk about whether the person is a hunter or not. If you kill someone with a knife, we can punish you with death."

Yang Ning smiled and said: "That's not right. I heard that your Shenhou Mansion only deals with the affairs of the Jianghu. I am not a Jianghu person. Even if I carry weapons, it should be managed by the Kyoto Mansion's Yamen. Could it be that your Shenhou Mansion can exceed its authority and abuse it? Also? , you said that carrying weapons is rebellion. I would like to ask, how many people in the Jianghu do not carry weapons? According to you, they are all rebels. Why don't you arrest them all? By the way, how many major figures in the capital are there? Escort agency, their escorts all carry weapons, why don’t you go arrest them?”

The Seventh Senior Brother said angrily: "You... you are making excuses. Of course they are different from you."

"Senior brother, I would like to ask you, what's the difference?" Yang Ning asked humbly.

When the Seventh Senior Brother was about to speak, Ximen Zhanying already said: "Seventh Senior Brother, he changed the subject on purpose, don't argue with him." He also slapped the table and said, "Qining, we are interrogating you now, what are we asking you? Just answer whatever you want.”

"That's right, that's right. I'm so angry at this guy." Senior Brother Seven was a little annoyed and said angrily, "You said you didn't kill the person. What evidence do you have?"

"It's easy to get evidence. When my accomplice wakes up, if you ask him, you'll understand everything," Yang Ning said easily.

Ximen Zhanying sneered: "Since he is your accomplice, do you think his testimony is useful?"

Yang Ning sighed: "Let me tell you two, if I am really a vampire, do you think you two can subdue me? If I really kill someone, how can I accompany you to the Shenhou Mansion so honestly?"

"Of course you wanted to run away, but it was a pity that we caught you on the spot." Brother Seventh said, "It's already very late, and we don't have that much patience to waste time with you. Tell me honestly, when was the first time you killed someone?"

Another officer who had been silent for a long time finally couldn't help but said: "Little sister, seventh brother, have you seen this person commit murder with your own eyes?"

Yang Ning saw that this Yamen was in his early thirties, and the Seventh Senior Brother was only in his early twenties. The age difference between the two was more than ten years, but he didn't know why the middle-aged Yamen also called the young man "Senior Brother". Could it be that their order was In order of entry

Could it be that these people are all disciples of the Divine Lord Ximen Wuhen? Or maybe the administra- tives of the Shenhou Mansion treat each other as brothers and sisters? After all, the Shenhou Mansion is in charge of Jianghu affairs, and these officials treat each other as brothers and sisters, which is in line with Jianghu rules.

The Seventh Senior Brother said: "We saw him next to the corpse with blood on his hands. There was no one else but him."

"Then what happened to his accomplice?" The middle-aged Yachai frowned slightly: "He said he would wait for his accomplice to wake up. What does that mean?"

"His accomplice fainted in the alley at that time...!" When the seventh brother said this, he suddenly realized an extremely serious problem and couldn't help but said: "By the way, how did your accomplice pass out?"

"You said there was no one else in the alley but me, so I could only knock him unconscious." Yang Ning sighed, "I knock my accomplices unconscious so that I can kill people and suck their blood."

Of course, Senior Brother Seven could hear the sarcasm in Yang Ning's words, but he also knew that since he was an accomplice, it would be strange to attack his own accomplice.

After all, he is also a member of the Shenhou Mansion. Although he is young in dealing with things, he also knows that if there are obvious doubts in a case, he cannot make an assertion lightly.

Ximen Zhanying said calmly: "He said that person was his accomplice, but who can prove what he said?"

The Seventh Senior Brother was smart enough to instantly understand the meaning of Ximen Zhanying's words. He slapped the table and shouted: "Okay, you kid is still lying. That person is not your accomplice at all, but a victim. You are tonight Prepare to kill two people in a row, am I right?"

Yang Ning clapped his hands and said with a smile: "He is indeed a detective. This senior brother understands so quickly, which is admirable." There was an unabashedly playful look on his face, and his tone was also full of ridicule.

"Too arrogant, too arrogant!" Chen Qi shouted: "Seventh senior brother, little junior sister, no criminal has dared to be so arrogant and unruly in Shenhou Mansion. It seems that we have to use torture instruments to make this kid honest."
