Xia Sheng stood at the gate of Changshui Inn, looking at the rolling smoke and the raging flames, his heart sank at the bottom of the valley for a moment.

What happened during the period when he left?

Is this fire artificial or unexpected?

Did Qin Yan and Kang Wuwei be buried in the sea of ​​fire or escape?

Also, where is the balls?

Countless questions followed one after another, but Xia Sheng couldn't find any clue.

And the next moment, in front of him, the entire Changshui Inn completely collapsed, and the thick black smoke came to his face, choking so hard that people could not breathe.

Xia Sheng covered his mouth and nose, trying to rush in to confirm the life and death of Qin Yan and Kang Wuwei, but suddenly he was grabbed by one hand.

Xia Sheng turned around and immediately saw a familiar face.

"Ning Zheng?"

"Come with me." Ning Zheng pulled Xia Sheng without saying a word and retreated.

Although Xia Sheng was anxious, he calmed down his anger very well and did not ask any more questions. Instead, he followed Ning Zheng's footsteps, integrated into the wave of panic on the street, and ran towards the corner of the street.

After running nearly a hundred feet away, the two finally stopped at a corner.

Ning Zheng finally breathed evenly, and then he slowly spoke: "Before you came back, I saw Miss Qin take Lord Kang away from the inn, but the town was already in chaos at that time, and there were too many people on the street, so I couldn't keep up with them."

Upon hearing this, Xia Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he suspected: "Are they the only two? Where is that female killer and Dandan?"

Ning Zheng shook his head: "I, I don't know."

Xia Sheng's eyes were solemn. Dandan was not worried. The guy was very fast. Even if the fire burned in front of it, he would definitely escape in time. However, the female killer named Meng Qi was seriously injured. Although he had recovered his consciousness under Xia Sheng's treatment, his body was very weak and even difficult to walk. Did she escape?

Or is this big fire originally directed and acted by her?

To create chaos and create opportunities for the escape of your companions?

Could it be that she and the two killers who assassinated Pingnan Hou are really in the same group?

In this way, Xia Sheng and her group were completely exploited by her.

In less than a stick of incense, this thought had appeared in Xia Sheng's mind for the second time, but he once again denied it.

The reason is very simple.

He is extremely confident in his medical skills.

He believed that the injuries Meng Qi suffered before were indeed fatal.

No killer is so stupid that he uses his life to make such a big bet.

What if Xia Sheng doesn’t understand medical skills?

What if Xia Sheng and his group refused to save them when they saw death?

There are too many uncontrollable factors in this.

If a killer really dares to do this, he will definitely not live long.

And no matter what, the most important thing now is not to judge the purpose of Meng Qi approaching her and her group. Finding Qin Yan and Kang Wuwei is the first priority at present.

Thinking of this, Xia Sheng immediately asked Ning Zheng: "Is the city gate closed now?"

Ning Zheng shook his head, signaling that he didn't know, and then said suspiciously: "What happened?"

Xia Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "Justice Pingnan was assassinated by three kingly powerful men."

"Marquis Pingnan?" Ning Zheng was stunned and said, "It's the task Meng Qi took before..."

"Yes." Xia Sheng analyzed: "Now it seems that Meng Qi is not the only killer who has received the mission of Pingnan Hou, and the other party's target is not only Pingnan Hou's daughter, but also himself."

Unfortunately, Xia Sheng had a full five hundred years of time gap with this world, and Ning Zheng was just a little strategist in Baima Town, so the two of them didn't know who Pingnan Hou was, nor why the other party appeared in Heishui Town.

This directly led to Xia Sheng's inability to make accurate judgments about the current situation.

This is fatal.

But Ning Zheng still gave his own suggestions: "Miss Qin and Lord Kang's identities are extraordinary. Even if they are taken down by the garrison army to interrogate, as long as they show their identities, they will probably not dare to make things difficult for each other. Now we should do the first thing we should do is to protect ourselves."

Xia Sheng slowly breathed a turbid breath: "What do you mean is to tell me not to find them?"

Ning Zheng nodded: "Young Master is different from them. Today's fact is too big, and I'm afraid it will be spread soon. If the young master reveals his identity, it will likely attract the attention of the prince."

Of course, Xia Sheng would not forget where his biggest threat came now. After Ning Zheng's advice, he just hesitated and made up his mind.

"Okay, since that's the case, then we'll find a place to settle down first and then make a long-term plan."

Ning Zheng nodded: "It's better for us to go to Mr. Li's home first."

Upon hearing this, Xia Sheng couldn't help but sigh: "This matter has been a long story. Do you know why I knew that this turmoil was caused by the Marquis of Pingnan..."

After a while, Xia Sheng took Ning Zheng and deliberately avoided the search direction of the private soldiers of the Hou Mansion and the Heishui Town Guards Army, came to a long street in the south of the town, turned into a deep alley, and then randomly selected a house and flipped through the wall.

The two of them did not go into the house to check if there was anyone inside, nor did they alarm the owner of the house, but hid in the shadow of a crabapple tree in the corner.

It was not until this time that Ning Zheng finally couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that you were so coincidental, you actually witnessed the assassination of the Marquis of Pingnan and met with the people from the Judgment Office."

Xia Sheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Things of the world are unpredictable, but, according to your opinion, do you know where the Judgment Department is?"

Hearing this question, Ning Zheng was stunned and then asked back: "Honest Master hasn't heard of the ruling department?"

"Okay, I've just heard of it. After all, Baima Town is a small place and there are no major cases on weekdays, so naturally I won't alarm the Judgment Department."

"If the explanation is simpler, as the name suggests, the Judgment Office is an official office in charge of the Judgment of the Criminal Code. Its predecessor was Dali Temple and the Censorate. However, when Emperor Gaozong was in power, the two were merged, and today's Judgment Office was established, with the power even higher than that of the Ministry of Justice and directly governed by His Majesty today."

"It is rumored that Emperor Gaozong once wrote nine big words on the main stone tablet of the Judgment Office: All major events in the world cannot be judged."

Hearing this, Xia Sheng couldn't help but gasp.

He never expected that such a privileged institution appeared in today's Dajin Dynasty. No wonder the other party's subordinates were all experts like Brother Jing Cheng Liran.

In this way, could it be that because Hou Pingnan was involved in a major case, someone wanted to kill him to silence him?

Just as I was thinking this, suddenly, a noise came outside the house, and then the door was kicked open. More than a dozen people rushed into the narrow courtyard gate. Everyone was wearing weapons, wearing leather boots, and exuding a dazzling martial arts light outside their bodies, full of killing.

Someone shouted loudly: "The ruling department is in charge, everyone in the house comes out for inspection."
