Chapter 1 The moon is dark and the wind is high

Author: Xiyumu

The night was dark, and Luoyang was silent at this time.

The bustling crowds during the day have already returned to their homes to sleep soundly, and the scene of the bright lights of thousands of families is now over. The barking of dogs that can be heard occasionally proves the vitality of the city.

"How is it? It's the third update now, and you're not sure about it." A masked man wearing a black tight body whispered.

"Be careful, the target of this action is the court official, the third-rank official must be foolproof. You don't need to say much, just follow my gestures." A response came from somewhere.

In the mansion of Lord Wang of Sitianjian, the lights in the study were faintly vague. Lord Wang was holding a book of "Astronomy Notes" and watching carefully. But for a while, Lord Wang kept nodding and shaking his head, but there was no sign of turning the page.

"Customers outside the door, since they are here, don't hide," Lord Wang put down the books in his hand and said to the closed door.

"Sir, I'm so good!" I saw the study door swaying slightly and three masked men stood in.

"I didn't expect that someone wouldn't listen to what I said in the court yesterday." Lord Wang sat upright in the study and said contemptuously to the three of them, "You are more urgent than I thought!"

"Since the Lord took charge of Sitianjian, the weather has been good and the people have harvested. We have admired you for a long time. What a pity! What a pity!!" After the man in the lead sighed repeatedly, his hands were waved with his fingers. People on both sides quickly walked to Lord Wang, and a little light flashed, and Lord Wang's body slowly collapsed to the ground.

"Carry it out and withdraw!"

...

"Young Master Changfeng, why are we sneaking out now? When the wife finds out, she will inevitably be scolded." The woman dressed in maid followed the boy in white and said angrily.

"Xiaolan, let's go and catch the cats. When I passed by the market during the day, I saw a group of cats at the entrance of the alley. Now, while there was no one, how about we catch their little ones? I saw a white kitten, which looks so beautiful." The man in front of the maid said softly.

"Come on, hurry up and be at the entrance of the alley in front. It will be troublesome when the updater sees it later. After all, it is a curfew in the whole city." After that, the man ran away quickly.

"Hey, Master Changfeng, please wait slowly, wait for me." Xiaolan saw the man running, and quickly followed him.

...

"It's considered to have caught you little guy! Oh, it's so cute!" Changfeng said to a pure white kitten in his hand.

"Young Master Changfeng, I'm so tired now. Let's go back."

"Well, let's go. Xiaolan, you have to take good care of Xiaoyu in the future."

"Who is Xiaoyu?"

"Hey, it's it, come and give you a hug." Changfeng reached out and handed the cat in his hand to Xiaolan, and walked forward with big strides.

"Oh, I knew that the last one was me. Young Master Changfeng, wait for me!" Xiaolan gently hugged the white kitten and followed the boy closely.

"Young Master Changfeng, let's go, what's going on when you stand there?" Xiaolan saw that her young master was standing blankly at the entrance of the alley, so she walked forward.

"Ah!!" Xiaolan was so scared by the scene in front of her that she hid on Changfeng's chest. Even Xiaoyu, who was already sleeping soundly, was awakened by her scream.

"Look at how you usually whine. When you see someone, what's there to be afraid of?" Changfeng looked at the person lying on the ground in front of him and said to Xiaolan.

"It was midnight, this person seemed to be motionless... Young Master, what should I do now?" Xiaolan recovered a little and asked softly.

"What else can I do? Report the case." The young man walked up and looked at the person lying on the ground. Seeing that he was not moving at all, he squatted down, touched his pulse, and said, "This person is dead."

There were no wounds on the body, and there were no obvious marks on the neck. While looking at the body, the young man thought to himself: I don’t know what fatal wound this person received. And he was dressed in luxurious clothes, so he was probably not an ordinary person.

In the dark alley, the corpses on the ground were lying calmly, and the young man squatting beside him looked at the corpse without fear at all. From the entrance of the alley, a woman holding a kitten like a white jade in her hand stood.

"Xiaolan, please shout loudly later, don't run over to report to the official. I'm afraid we're in trouble." Changfeng said to Xiaolan with a serious face. "If there is an interrogation, you can teach you..."

"Okay, young master. I'll listen to you." Xiaolan silently remembered the instructions just now in her heart.

"It's a fire!!! Run, it's a fire!"
