♂?，，

  When Chen Yuan asked this question, everyone was shocked. How could a weak and delicate girl like her commit murder?

  Those scholars suddenly had a heart of pity and reprimanded: "Chen Shimei! Judging cases is an official matter, don't talk nonsense without evidence!"

  Xiao Lei was also as if frightened, suddenly burst into tears: "I, I didn't, I really didn't!"

  Zhao Hu's eyes were fixed on Chen Yuan, his gaze full of inquiry.

  "Everyone, at the time of the incident, there were five people in the main hall: the shopkeeper and his daughter, three fellow students who came to take the exam, and this gentleman. However, none of these five people saw anyone enter the room. Why is that?"

  Chen Yuan said, pausing for a moment: "We often overlook things that are supposed to happen. It's not anyone's fault. What I find strange is that the deceased was taking a bath at the time. When we take baths, our doors are always locked from the inside."

  His eyes turned to Zhao Hu again: "So I think it was the deceased who opened the door for the murderer, they must have known each other, not just us, but even the deceased thought it was a matter of course that the murderer entered her room while she was taking a bath."

  Zhao Hu nodded and the rest was unnecessary. The deceased woman had just arrived at this inn and was unfamiliar with everyone.

  While she was bathing, only her husband and maid could enter the room. The fat man was looking for food, so he can be ruled out as a suspect.

  Some people immediately raised questions: "Maybe she has a relationship with the driver? Can't this little brother get in too?"

  Chen Yuan chuckled: "At that time, the night was just dark, and many people had not fallen asleep. At this time, having an affair is a bit too bold, isn't it?"

  Zhao Hu's eyes were always on that little Lai, he found that this little girl's face changed in an instant.

  Zhao Hu's heart immediately understood, drew out his knife: "Seize her!"

  Chen Yuan felt a cold light suddenly rushing towards him, and before he could react, he heard a crisp sound. The cold light deviated and brushed past his ear, flying by.

  "Wow!"

  The door panel behind him shook violently, Chen Yuan turned his head to look back, and it was a flying dart.

  "Grab her!"

  Zhao Hu rushed up, but unexpectedly the woman suddenly pulled out another short sword from her pant leg, grabbed the fat man and placed the sword on his neck: "Don't come any closer!"

  Chen Yuan's cold sweat had just broken out when he looked down at his feet and saw a stone the size of a marble lying on the ground, still slightly shaking.

  Obviously, someone just used this stone to save his own life.

  Chen Yuan turned his head towards the crowd and found that the slender young man smiled at him.

  Zhao Hu and a group of captors surrounded the woman, but considering human life, the captors did not dare to coerce her excessively.

  The woman's eyes, filled with resentment, stared at Chen Yuan: "This scholar, is actually so meddlesome!"

  Chen Yuan didn't say anything, because at this time he really didn't need to say much to that woman. He was just very interested in the person driving the carriage. Logically speaking, at this time the servant should be concerned about his master's life. Although the driver's face also showed some anxiety, Chen Yuan clearly felt that his anxiety was fake.

  What's the origin of these four people? Chen Yuan couldn't help but wonder.

  Two constables took advantage of the woman's unpreparedness and suddenly threw a rope from behind, which fell directly onto the woman's head.

  Just as he was about to tie up the woman, she suddenly reached back and grabbed the rope with her hand. The woman then let out a loud cry: "Ah!"

  A seemingly weak woman used only one hand to suddenly pull out the two catchers from the other end. The two catchers stumbled and fell to the ground,

  The originally intact formation of the catchers suddenly revealed a gap, and the woman did not hesitate. She slapped her palm on the back of the fat man, and he flew out with his whole body. The speed of her movement was so fast that those catchers had no time to react.

  Zhao Hu was about to chase after him, but the fat man's body suddenly rushed towards him. Zhao Hu was waiting to dodge, but unexpectedly the fat man spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

  The woman suddenly jumped out and caught the quick-witted man, then stretched out her hand to shake out a rope hanging from the tree, using the rope's force to pull herself up onto the high tree trunk.

  The crowd could only stand below and watch that woman.

  "Hmph, what a ruthless move!" The woman looked at the fatty and said this sentence before throwing herself into the night, disappearing in an instant.

  Zhao Hu saw that he couldn't catch up, so he came back to check on the fatty and found that he had already stopped breathing. Suddenly, he felt a bit annoyed.

  Just then, the voice behind him said again: "Brother Bao's subordinates are really capable!"

  His tone was full of sarcasm, Zhao Hu couldn't control himself anymore, he suddenly turned around and shouted at the slender figure in the crowd: "Get out here!"

  This time, Zhang Long couldn't bear such sarcasm either. He drew out his sword and stood beside Zhao Hu: "Who is this person? Have the guts to follow me back to the yamen and repeat what you just said! Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to convict you of slander!"

  The people in front of him made way. Chen Yuan knew that this man must have saved himself just now, and seeing that he might be in trouble now, he couldn't help but worry about him a little.

  But he said with a nonchalant tone: "Me? I was at Lord Bao's place just the day before yesterday, how could you forget?"

  Zhang Long and Zhao Hu looked at each other, neither of them had any impression.

  That man walked over slowly and continued: "The day before yesterday, I borrowed three things from Master Bao. You two should have heard about this matter, right?"

  Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were shocked: "It's Bai Yutang!" After finishing speaking, they drew their swords and hacked at him.

  Bai Yutang burst out laughing and said again: "The people under Lord Bao are really formidable!"

  As they spoke, the surrounding catchers also gathered around. Bai Yutang faced Zhang Long and Zhao Hu's two knives, but dodged them extremely easily without counterattacking. With a continuous bounce of his feet, he first jumped onto a pile of debris, then onto the wall, and finally leaped onto the tree, standing where the woman had stood earlier.

  However, the woman had used a rope to climb up, but Bai Yutang had climbed up empty-handed, showing his agility.

  The crowd of captives below couldn't get up just now and still can't get up.

  Bai Yutang looked at Zhang Long and Zhao Hu from the tree, smiled lightly: "This time Bai didn't plan to come to subdue the dragon and tame the tiger, just wanted to find a cat to play with, not difficult for you all."

  After finishing speaking, several figures jumped up and their bodies disappeared into the darkness.

  Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were very disheartened, one night two people did not catch, but also by Bai Yutang play a trick. Zhao Hu patted his chest and stamped his foot: "If let Zhang Ye follow, how could they let the two of them run away!"

  Zhang Long didn't say anything else, looked around at the crowd and waved his hand saying: "Disperse, disperse. Everyone go back!"

  The unrelated crowd gradually dispersed, and Zhang Long shouted to Yang Zhuang: "Zhuang, the case has been clarified, the murderer has escaped, you are all innocent people. This small shop will open as usual tomorrow, and we scholars can also read quietly here. Just don't let anyone live in that room where the case occurred."

  The shopkeeper, busy as he was, replied: "Yes, yes, I understand."

  Zhang Long said here and looked at Chen Yuan again: "Young master is more thoughtful than others, it's better to take the imperial examination."

  Chen Yuan didn't respond. He kept glancing at the bus driver out of the corner of his eye, feeling that there was something strange about this person.

  After the fat man's death, the young man who was driving the carriage cried over his body. Zhao Hu stepped forward and said: "The dead cannot be brought back to life, we will catch the murderer as soon as possible and bring him to justice. Follow us to the yamen for a statement, then hurry back to report the death."

  The young man stood up and said: "Yes, I will obey your orders, sir."

  The noisy guesthouse entrance finally calmed down after a night, but everyone couldn't calm their emotions, as if they had just watched a very memorable Hollywood blockbuster.

  Chen Yuan's heart was even more entangled. Bai Yutang, Zhang Long Zhao Hu, these were all people who had to deal with Bao Zheng, and now they appeared beside him, would they pull him towards Bao Zheng?

  Although he had decided not to go to the sedan chair, it's better not to get in touch with Bao Gong.
