Volume 2 Sword Peak Shocking Chapter 5 Bright and Fair

When Li Qing carried the dying man and a few beggars all the way back to Liucheng, it was already dark. When he entered the city gate, he tried his best to speak, and it was not until Li Qing took out the waist card issued by the government that the soldiers guarding the city reluctantly let him go with suspicious eyes.

From the city gate to the government office, all the way are bustling streets and alleys, just after the end of the day, people come and go on the street, large and small shops are opened, are shouting diligently, suddenly see a man carrying a bloodstain on his shoulder, followed by a few beggars in rags, all stopped the work in hand for a while, pointing and watching.

Li Qing received the attention all the way, and led a few beggars into the mansion with a red face.

"Brother Li Qing-" A young man in white greeted him warmly, and suddenly saw the man on Li Qing's shoulder, his sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and he hurriedly called the official to come forward to pick it up, and led Li Qing and a few beggars to the backyard diligently.

"Brother Li Qing is really capable, it's only been a day since we returned to the stream, and the suspect has been caught so quickly?" The young man in white led the way in front while talking to Li Qing with a smile, "Brother Qinghu and Master Jian have just come back, and if you are talking about you, you will also come back." ”

"Brother Wei Chen, thank you, I already know the road ahead, I'll invite you to drink another day. When Li Qing heard that Jian Qiushan had returned to the mansion, his heart was relieved. This time when he went to Guiliu to handle the case, although it was all in the realm of Tianlong, Li Qing was not as young as when he first came out of Huojia Village. Yesterday in front of the city gate, Li Qing had already noticed that the two sides were not close to each other, but were a little wary of each other. Today, only himself and Mantou followed Jian Qiushan out, and Li Qing himself had something important to do, leaving Mantou alone by Jian Qiushan's side, which made Li Qing worry all day long, for fear that something would happen. Now that he heard Wei Chen say that Jian Qiushan had turned around, Li Qing deliberately sent Wei Chen away, so that he could discuss today's encounter with Jian Qiushan in detail for a while.

Wei Chen was slightly stunned, then nodded with a smile, and ordered the official to return the man to Li Qing, and left with his hand.

Jian Qiushan sat at the table and unfolded the scroll and read, but his heart was not in the book. The steamed bun was stopped by Jian Qiushan a few times, and he still couldn't help but walk around the room anxiously.

"Li Zhutou is back? Lord Jane is worried about you. Jian Qiushan heard the voice of the guards outside, hurriedly put down the scroll, ran out in three steps and two steps, and the steamed buns on the side saw Jian Qiushan running in such a hurry, he was slightly stunned, and then he came back to his senses and hurriedly followed.

"Brother Qing'er, what's going on?" Jian Qiushan beckoned the soldiers to invite the doctors who accompanied the army, and on the other hand, he asked people to go to the kitchen and order them to make a few bowls of noodles, which led Li Qing and the others into the room and asked anxiously.

Listening to Li Qing talk about what happened this day, Jian Qiushan and Mantou's expressions changed one after another, originally they just asked Li Qing to go to the young master's house of the Spring Breeze Dart Bureau to find out, as for whether they could find something, Jian Qiushan didn't know in his heart. I don't want this day's experience to be so ups and downs, it's a pity that the man in black committed suicide by drinking poison, otherwise there would be more discoveries.

Tan Qinghu invited Wei Chen and Ye Jiong, two brothers, to his home for a drink today, and the three brothers have not been together for a long time during this time. Ye Zi heard that his brother was coming in the evening, so he went to the street early in the morning to buy a lot of fish, shrimp, vegetables and meat, and carefully prepared them for a whole day. Recently, Ye Zi always feels that her husband has something on his mind, and in the past, as long as her husband comes back, he will always bring some toys and food to the children, and laugh with the children. But since the Spring Breeze Dart case happened, the smile on the husband's face has decreased a lot, and he is also a little absent-minded when playing with the children. Today, my brother and Wei Chen brothers came to take advantage of the three of them to get together, so that my husband was also happy. After cooking the dishes and scalding the wine, looking at the three people who were talking and laughing, Ye Zi smiled and led the two children to turn around and enter the side room.

Wei Chen was a little puzzled, in the past, when the three brothers got together, they always talked about everything, which was very enjoyable. Today, Brother Qinghu is a little interested, and he seems to have a lot of things on his mind, and when he heard the two of them talk about the recent interesting things in the rivers and lakes, he only responded to a few words casually, but he was in a hurry. Wei Chen also said that he was worried about the case of the Spring Breeze Dart Bureau, thinking that Brother Ye Jiong was also here today, and he would work together for Brother Qinghu, and no matter how bad it was, it could be relieved. After mentioning it a few times, Tan Qinghu always diverted the topic, but when he heard Wei Chen mention that he met Li Qing tonight, he came to his senses again, chased after Wei Chen and asked a lot, but when he saw that he knew very little, his eyes dimmed again. Wei Chen and Ye Jiong glanced at each other, and they both saw the worry and incomprehension in each other's eyes. The meal was a little dull, and before the end of the day, they dispersed.

In the night of early spring, there was still a little chill, Wei Chen and Ye Jiong talked a lot today, and drank more wine, but now they were stirred by the night breeze, and the wine was a little upsurged, thinking about finding a stall to eat some hot food such as soup noodles and wontons. Turning a street, it happened that there was a light not far away, the heat was steaming under the lamp, a few passers-by who returned at night were sitting in front of the stall, the aroma of green onion ginger and spicy seeds mixed with a strong face fragrance, the two of them rushed into the nose of the two people from afar, the two couldn't help but be shocked, and their feet became more and more brisk.

"Old man, come here with two bowls of wontons and put more spicy seeds. Wei Chen excitedly pulled Ye Jiong to pick up a vacant seat and sat down, and greeted him loudly.

After a while, the old man who set up the stall came with two bowls of steaming wontons, in the soup bowl of white porcelain and blue ground, the crystal clear wontons floated on the clear soup, the green onions rippled in the meantime, and the red and bright spicy seeds, the two couldn't help but move their index fingers.

Snoring and eating heartily, there was a sudden sound of hooves in the distance, accompanied by the sound of hooves and the shouting and scolding of soldiers. Ye Jiong and Wei Chen were both born in the army, and they were also responsible for the defense of the city, and when they heard the sound, they immediately woke up half of the wine, and they all stood up to greet them.

A team of soldiers rode horses and galloped, Sun Li was a little unhappy in his heart, it was a chore to guard the city gate in this cold long night, thinking that there was nothing to do, and he could take turns to sleep for a while, but he knew that these people came to find trouble for themselves again, and they entered the city in the middle of the night, and they even brought the medicine for healing in the army, and they didn't even open the seal, is this deceiving their own blindness?

Sun Li was scolding while galloping on his horse, and suddenly saw two people standing on the road in front of him, and he was even more angry in his heart, and was about to whip it away, but he saw the faces of the two people clearly, and the sweat on his forehead immediately flowed down, and he hurriedly waved his hand to signal the army to stop, and he hurriedly got off his horse and trotted forward to salute.

Ye Jiong and Wei Chen watched from a distance as a team of soldiers escorted a few men all the way forward, and thought that they had caught some bandits who came out late at night to steal, but when they heard that these people had brought the wound medicine "Xuanyuan Dan" controlled by the army, they couldn't help but change their faces, and the wine turned into sweat and instantly made their bodies transparent.

Lu Xuanran discussed the case with Jian Qiushan and others all night, and as soon as he fell asleep, he heard a report from the palace guards, saying that Ye Jiong and Wei Chen had caught several thieves who were selling drugs in the army, and they immediately lost their sleepiness and hurriedly dressed and rushed to the hall.

Looking at the few people lying down and kneeling, Lu Xuanran frowned. These people were a little hard at first, but as soon as a few torture instruments were thrown in front of them, they were cleaned up like a bamboo tube pouring beans. The Spring Breeze Dart Bureau robbery, which originally gave him a headache, was solved by mistake like this? Lu Xuanran sat behind the case and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, as if he was in a dream.

Ye Jiong and Wei Chen looked at their city lord, and they were very worried. The case of the Spring Breeze Dart Bureau had eyebrows, and the two of them should have been happy, but during this time, seeing Tan Qinghu frowning about this case all day long, the two of them were very anxious. But now that Xuanyuan Dan is involved, this matter is no longer as simple as an ordinary robbery. This Xuanyuan Pill is specially refined by the sect for the military guards of Guiliu City, and it is the Qinghu Guard who is responsible for taking care of it. If the robbery case is not solved, Tan Qinghu will only be reprimanded, but Xuanyuan Dan will be lost, and he is afraid that he will be worried about his life. What's more, this batch of pills is hidden in the dart goods, and the Ye family can't get rid of it.

The hall was silent, without a sound, and the two of them only heard their hearts pounding. After a long time, Lu Xuanran straightened up, his eyes were bright, and Wei Chen and Ye Jiong both knew that the city lord had made a decision.

"Brother Ye, the imperial court has explicitly banned drugs from entering Shanjung, and we are in a border area, so the matter is serious, so don't blame this seat for impartiality. Lu Xuanran was not suspicious of the two of them, if the two of them had different intentions, he would never see these thieves tonight. But he also knew that Ye Jiong was not only the eldest son of the Ye family, but also had a brother-in-law relationship with Tan Qinghu, and knew that if this matter was handled a little poorly, not only Ye Jiong and Qinghu would be affected, but even he would not be able to escape the involvement. It's just that this matter is really strange, if Tan Qinghu is guarding and stealing, Lu Xuanran doesn't believe anything, these people have followed him for many years, aside from love and righteousness, which big guy hasn't left a few scars on his body over the years? Which person has no relatives, friends, and comrades who died at the hands of the Shanrong thieves? Because of this, this matter is particularly weird, and he must find out about this matter and return the big guy's innocence.

When Ye Jiong heard Lu Xuanran's decision, his heart couldn't help but tremble, and he was about to step forward to argue a few words, but he met Lu Xuanran's awe-inspiring gaze, and secretly blamed himself in his heart. What is the purpose of the big guy's bloody knife all these years? Now not only is there a mountain and a wolf on the side, but the imperial court is also wary of the sect, if it is said that his father and Qinghu will do such things for the sake of profit, Ye Jiong will not believe it. Since I and my family have a clear conscience, what are we afraid of? Now that adults are decisive, I should work with adults to find out about this matter.

Thinking of this, Ye Jiong took a step forward and bowed, "This matter is all up to the decision of the adults, but there is a dispatch, Ye Jiong's sword is a mountain of fire, and he will not give up." ”。 On the side, Wei Chen saw the two of them talking, he already understood what he meant, and did not say a word, but walked to Ye Jiong's side and stood still.

Lu Xuanran looked at the two deployments, was relieved in his heart, and nodded slowly.

Not long after, Jian Qiushan and Li Qing and others also rushed over, and after listening to Lu Xuanran's narration, several people were also stunned for a while. Today, Jian Qiushan went to Luoyan Gorge with Tan Qinghu to check, and he had already found the clue, and after discussing with Lu Xuanran for a long time in the evening, he decided to go to find out tomorrow, not wanting things to take a turn for the better so soon.

Jian Qiushan and the others looked at the few men opposite, and their hearts rose with respect, before they came here, they always felt that the people of the sect only cared about their own interests, and did not care about the lives of the people.

Thinking of this, a few people reorganized their clothes and stepped forward to meet Lu Xuanran and a few others. The men in the lobby looked at each other and laughed, their attitudes were flying, and there was no trace of low resentment.
