I don't want to be king

Chapter 444 The Murderer
He is obviously a seven-point player, but he has shown his strength!
For such an exciting moment, he didn't know whether to admire himself or admire Zixia.

"My lord."

After Zixia wiped Lin Yi's body rustlingly in the dark, she stood in front of Lin Yi holding a lamp, and said softly, "My lord, let's drink some tea."

After Lin Yi nodded, he was supported by Zixia.

The kang was burning hot, and the whole room was stuffy. He touched the beads of sweat on his forehead with his hands, walked to the window, and just pushed the window open, the cold wind whimpered, and snowflakes drifted past his eyes.

"My lord, be careful of catching a cold."

Lin Yi still put on a fox fur cape for Lin Yi.

"It's okay, I can't sleep on the left or right, you can heat a bar, and prepare some peanuts. If there is braised pork, it will be even better."

Lin Yi stretched out his hand out of the window, letting the snowflakes fall in his palm.

Zixia smiled and said, "My lord, there is donkey meat, do you want to eat it?"

Lin Yi asked curiously, "Where did the donkey meat come from?"

Because of this he doesn't have this dish at all in his recipe today.

Zixia said, "It's that big fat man Su Yin, he always knows how to eat more than others, he marinated more than a dozen catties of donkey meat, many of us smelled it, so we shared some in the kitchen."

Lin Yi said angrily, "Donkey meat is such a good thing, you actually steal it yourself without telling me, go and serve it quickly."

Since entering Ankang City, his menu has become more refined, but it has not become richer. Like the pork intestines, chicken offal, and beef offal that he likes to eat in the past, no one is willing to serve him in front of him.

Even donkey meat that can't be put on the table!

In the mansion, he couldn't eat even if he wanted to!

Sometimes when he is really hungry, he goes to the roadside stalls on the street to eat.

"My lord, wait a moment."

Zixia stood at the door and whispered a few words to the little girl beside her.

She and Mingyue have been with the prince since they were young, and they have no name or distinction.

Even if it's like Mingyue's pregnancy, even if you give it to the prince, you can't take it!

She and Mingyue are good girls, one is because of their seniority, and the other is because both of them are rank nine!

For the sake of face, they can't kill people on the surface, but secretly, they can make people die in a hundred ways!

Any girl with a little brain would not compete with her two.

Therefore, no one dared to refuse to order the girl at the door to go to the kitchen at this moment.

into the night.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, rattling the two windows.

Lin Yi waited for Zixia to bring up the wine and dishes, first picked up two thin pieces of donkey meat, and said while eating, "Su Yin is really good at it."

Without his guidance, it was beyond his expectation that donkey meat could be cooked so deliciously.

Zixia smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Su Yin established the Liang Guo Catering Association. Since becoming the president, he has become more stable than before. Whether it is northern cuisine or southern cuisine, he has learned from everyone's strengths. Hair looks good."

Lin Yi said helplessly, "This dog has no real skills, but the ability to opportunistically is first-rate."

He loves to eat twice-cooked pork.

Even if it is placed in modern society, 90.00% of the restaurants above nine can't cook this dish well.

This is especially true for non-professionals like Lin Yi.

He told Su Yin a general approach.

No matter what Su Yin did, it made him feel wrong.

In the end, Su Yin actually found another way, let the oil go!

It was only after Lin Yi ate this pot of pork that he felt the right taste!
Of course, there is more than one way to cook twice-cooked pork. If you don’t drain the oil, add cabbage, potatoes, and lentils to stew together, and use the vegetables to absorb oil to prevent it from being too greasy.

In some respects, Su Yin is still a little quick-witted.

This is also the reason why he is willing to let him be the chef in the kitchen all the time.

Thinking of the chef in the kitchen, he also thought of Luo Han, a dead-beater!
Can't help but ask, "Where's Luo Han that bastard?"

Although incompetent.

But be true to yourself!

Even if he is worthless in the future, he has reason to believe that Luo Han, like Hong Ying, will guard him tightly.

To him, the only function of this kind of person is to be loyal enough!

The reason why he neglected Arhat was because he hated him for not fighting!

You're giving me face like this, so be smart, why don't you fly with me every minute?
Where is it necessary to make everyone so divided like this.

"My lord, he's still playing the gong of soldiers and horses,"

Although Zixia didn't like Arhat, she still told the truth, "A few days ago, Hong An taught me a lesson."

"Calling someone's eldest niece again?"

Seeing Zixia nodding, Lin Yi couldn't help laughing and said, "He doesn't have a long memory, so he must fall into Hong An's hands."

Zixia smiled and said, "After the prince entered Ankang City, he begged He Hong to come from Jiangnan.

He Hong has received favors from others, and it is not easy to refuse, and now he is working as a watchman in the Bingma Division.

He is also a poor man, afraid that others will forget that he came from the prince's mansion, and he likes to find trouble for nothing. "

"Yeah, he pissed off evil people like Hong An and Cao Xiaohuan, but he still can't do anything to him, so others will guess his background?

If there were no big shots to take care of him, he would have been skinned by Hong An and others long ago.

So, no one dares to mess with him? "

Lin Yi said with emotion, "It's been a long time since I've seen him, but he has learned to be smart."

Zixia smiled and said, "It's still the prince who teaches well."

"Let him have a free time, and let him hang out for so long, it's almost the same."

Lin Yi waited for the wine on the charcoal stove to heat up, and refused Zixia to pour him wine, and took the jug and poured it himself.

Zixia arched her body and said, "Yes."

The wine was too hot to be eaten directly. While waiting for the temperature to cool down, I stuffed two pieces of donkey meat into my mouth from time to time, chewing and saying, "This Su Yin's craftsmanship has really improved. In the past, it was impossible to do it." Such chewy stewed pork."

"My lord, please slow down, it's cold, don't overeat,"

Zixia didn't dare to let Lin Yi eat too much, so she could only cautiously persuade, "Master Hu's medicine is brilliant, but it's not a panacea."

"Then drink some wine, don't eat,"

Lin Yi pinched another peanut and said with a smile, "It's really hard to digest if you eat too much."

In this way, I kept drinking until my eyelids fought again.

When he got up the next day and opened the window, the world was already white.

The north gate of Ankang City.

Ma Jie, who was wearing a big black jacket, stood at the entrance of the city gate, looking at the carriages piled up with stiff corpses, his face was ashen, he turned his head to look at Jiang Yi beside him and said, "Master Jiang, the old man has repeatedly emphasized that we must Do a good job of keeping warm in winter, and beware of freezing to death again, as a result, 37 people died of freezing in one night!"

In the end, he was already gnashing his teeth.

Jiang Yi looked left and right, sighed in a low voice, "Master Ma, you don't know what's going on with our Bing Ma Si right now?
You can't find anyone at all, my lord, let me tell you the truth, don't be angry, it's God's blessing that only so few people died in this huge city of Ankang. "

If you want to blame, you can only blame Xie Zan!

In order to go to northern Hebei to investigate He Jin's whereabouts, he took away tens of thousands of soldiers and horses at once!
Although some came back halfway, they were dismissed as a rule and would never be hired.

Today's soldiers and horses have no money and no people. There are less than 1000 people left!
If it weren't for the fact that he was still sitting in the position of the commander of the Nanmen Bingmasi, he would have doubted whether Mr. Xie Zhantong and He Jixiang wanted to withdraw the Bingmasi!

"grown ups,"

Cao Xiaohuan kept flipping over the corpse with the scabbard, and said after a while, "Masters, these people didn't all freeze to death."

Ma Jie asked in surprise, "Why did you say that?"

He carefully looked at several corpses, but he didn't find a single wound.

Cao Xiaohuan smiled and said, "Although these people wear ragged clothes, they have fair skin. They look like they are pampered, and they even come from rich families. Naturally, they are not beggars."

"Look carefully at the tiger's mouth with both hands, it is extremely rough,"

Zhou Xun suddenly said, "Obviously they are all martial arts practitioners."

Cao Xiaohuan nodded and said, "Yes, there are indeed some homeless beggars and fake monks in Ankang City, but most of them are old people, there are no such young people at all."

Ankang City is prosperous in business, but anyone with legs and feet will not live on the streets and be frozen to death in the end!

In the words of Prince He, Ankang City is no longer the Ankang City it used to be.

"That's true,"

Ma Jie looked at the corpses again, and felt more and more that what they said made sense, so he said bravely, "How do you guys think these people died?"

It seems to be more troublesome!

If he just died of freezing, he is at best a mismanager.

However, if he was killed, it would involve Liang Lvzhong's criminal case!

And dozens of murders!

If this spreads out, people will be panicked!
At that time, no matter if it is Mr. He Jixiang or the prince who pursues the matter, he, the governor of Ankang, will have nothing to eat!

Seeing Ma Jie looking at him, Cao Xiaohuan pondered for a moment, but turned his head to look at Chen Xinluo, the chief arrester of the Third Division who was standing silently beside him.

Chen Xinluo frowned and said, "It's not appropriate to say anything about this matter, first send the body to the Yamen of Dali Temple, post a notice later, and look for relatives."

Ma Jie couldn't help but said, "Master Chen, is there anything strange about this?"

In terms of official position, Chen Xinluo is his subordinate.

However, as we all know, Chen Xinluo came out of Hewangfu!

He is highly valued by Lord He and Lord He Jixiang, and is not something ordinary people can provoke at will.

Even when he spoke to Chen Xinluo, he was very polite without any temper.

Chen Xinluo turned to the door, then turned to Ma Jie and said, "Lord Ma, forgive me, but I have to report to Lord He Jixiang first."

In the evening, stories of vampires gradually began to circulate in Ankang City.

A blood-sucking ghost committed crimes recklessly in Ankang City, killing 37 people!
"Stop rumors with rumors,"

Lin Yi sat on the chair and exclaimed, "He Jixiang's method is good, ginger is still old and spicy."

He Jixiang said with a smile, "My lord praises you absurdly."

"The star-absorbing method absorbs people's internal energy and causes people to die?"

Lin Yi was most shocked by this!
This is just what he said casually when he told the story of "Dragon Babu".

But I didn't expect Hong Ying and the others to take it seriously!

And now there are people who came to him and told him that in order to practice this kung fu, some people sucked people's internal energy everywhere and murdered many people's lives!

It can be described as dire and vicious!
Chen Xinluo cupped her hands and said, "My lord, my subordinates have done a lot of research on this star-absorbing method. I have checked each of the several corpses. The dantian is shriveled. It is true that they died because they were sucked out of their internal energy."

Lin Yi frowned, "Then what do you think?"

He knows nothing about handling cases and kung fu.

I don't know what these people mean when they come to him?
Chen Xinluo hesitated for a moment and said, "The Dafa of Absorbing Stars is my Sanhe's unique secret method, and there are no more than 15 Sanhe people in Ankang City who know this method.

The murderer absorbed so much internal energy last night, his true energy must be mottled and impure at this moment.

After the subordinates got the order from Lord He Jixiang, they searched the barracks and arrested quickly, but no one with abnormal internal strength was found.

Subordinates are suspicious."

After hesitating, he still didn't speak in the end.

"Do you suspect that the murderer who practiced the star-absorbing method is with the palace?"

Lin Yi said it directly for him.

"Your Highness, forgive me!"

Chen Xinluo knelt down without saying yes or no.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Zunzao, thoroughly investigate and Wangfu."

Regardless of whether there is a star-absorbing method or not, it is definitely wrong to murder people's lives!

Most importantly, he can't keep this kind of person in the palace!

"Thank you, my lord,"

After Chen Xinluo stood up, she looked directly at the monk and Ye Qiu and said respectfully, "Please give me your advice."

"Amitabha,"

The monk's hand kept turning the beads, "Sin, sin."

Chen Xinluo couldn't figure out what he meant, so she could only helplessly look at Ye Qiu who was beside her, and said with a smile, "Please ask Mr. Ye to clarify."

Ye Qiu saw that the prince and the prince were also staring at him, so he put away his carelessness and said with a smile, "You guessed wrong, this person is not in the prince's residence either."

Chen Xinluo was stunned for a moment, then cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, my lord, for clarifying the confusion."

Zhou Xun couldn't help but said, "Young Master, why are you so sure that the murderer is not in the Hewang Palace, and the matter involves the comfort of the Prince, how can you be hasty?"

Chen Xinluo said lightly, "Since Mr. Ye is a great master, this person has absorbed the internal energy of dozens of people in one night. He must be looking for a breakthrough. His true energy is raging in his heart. With such a big movement, it is simply impossible to hide it from Master Ji Hai and Mr. Ye." It's delusional."

Ye Qiu smiled proudly, not sure.

Zhou Xun lowered his head in shame.

She has entered the eighth rank, but this insight has not increased because of the increase in skill!
"So you're really not in the mansion?"

After hearing this, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

And in the palace, I dare not be a servant or a guard, they are all around him all the year round, even a dog has feelings.

In case one of them committed a crime, when he had to kill, he didn't know if he would be heartbroken.

Chen Xinluo said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, with Master Ji Hai and Young Master Ye Qiu around, you will be safe and sound."

"That's the best thing to do,"

After Lin Yi finished speaking, he looked at Ye Qiu, "Since you are idle, you can help the Yamen catch the murderer."

"As ordered!"

Ye Qiu was very helpless.

The cold wind was raging, and he, the grand master, was also too lazy to move.

In this kind of weather, you should drink a small wine while enjoying the snow in the bamboo forest.

To catch the murderer for the yamen?
It's really busy!
