Chapter 497: Night Detective
"Why is it not peaceful?" asked Chenguang humbly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
The old man stuffed the broken silver back into Chenguang's hand, and sighed: "The old man is not for the little brother's silver, so he will remind you of the bag of silk candy you gave to my little grandson." One night a few days ago, the mansion of an official was surrounded by gangsters, and the sound of fighting and killing stopped in the middle of the night. The old man happened to send firewood to the mansion of the official man every day, and as soon as the sky was bright, he saw that the bluestone slabs were dyed red, and someone was pouring water on them. β
Chenguang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "I don't know which official's mansion it is?"
"It's the mansion of that General Xing, where his family lives. The old man shook his head, "Those villains are really confused, who can't make trouble, why do you have to find trouble with General Xing." With so many soldiers in General Xing's hands, it is not a piece of cake to deal with a few gangsters. β
"Uncle, you left because of this?"
The old man's face changed slightly: "This matter has not yet spread in the city, and the people who got the news are all well-connected, and the old man only knew about it by chance." The little brother thought, this Fuxing City is not a small village and town, isn't it strange and scary that this kind of thing happens in such a big city? Those gangsters can break into General Xing Da's mansion today, and maybe they will kill people and set fire to them tomorrow, so some people who got the news temporarily left to take refuge. The old man happened to be fine, so he simply took his grandson to his father's house. β
"I see, thank you for reminding me. "The morning light arches his hand.
The old man stood up and pulled his little grandson: "Okay, enough rest, it's time for us to go." Little brother, if you are not in a hurry, don't go to Fuxing City for the time being. β
"Okay, we know, thank you, uncle. β
The old man took his little grandson and walked away, and Qiao Zhao and the three of them still stood under the tree and did not move.
"Are there gangsters besieging Xing Wuyang's mansion?" Shao Mingyuan pondered the old man's words and looked at Qiao Zhao, "Zhaozhao, have you noticed that the tone of the old man when he mentioned those gangsters just now was not like the hatred of the common people for the bandits, but with a trace of regret. β
Qiao Zhao nodded and agreed: "Yes, it seems that I wish those villains would succeed, it can be seen how unpopular Xing Wuyang is." β
Shao Mingyuan looked into the distance, and the figures of the ancestors and grandsons were gradually gone.
"The identity of those villains is kind of interesting. β
Qiao Zhao thought thoughtfully: "Going straight to Xing Wuyang's mansion is definitely not for money, and there is no need to pick up the hardest bones to gnaw on for money." β
"Then why do you think that?" asked Shao Mingyuan.
"We're still blind to that side, so it's easy to guess. Qiao Zhao smiled, met Shao Mingyuan's encouraging gaze, and thought for a while, "Nine times out of ten, it has something to do with the people's uprising. β
Shao Mingyuan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes deepened, and he said softly: "Maybe it's a mutiny." β
Qiao Zhao was taken aback: "Mutiny?
The mutiny is not the same as the people's mutiny, and there was a mutiny under the commander of a garrison, which proves that the team he led is rotten to the bone.
"I don't have any basis, it's just that I have led the troops to fight for all these years, out of the intuition of a general. Shao Mingyuan said bluntly.
This kind of intuition is by no means nonsense, but the experience accumulated in countless battles, large and small, to predict the rapid changes in the situation on the battlefield.
"Let's go, what is Fuxing City like, just take a look at it with your own eyes. β
The three of them continued on their way, and in the afternoon, Fuxing City, with its arched gates, was presented in front of them.
There was a group of soldiers standing by the gates, checking on the people entering the city.
"The eldest princeβ" Chenguang shouted.
"It doesn't matter. β
The three of them walked to the queue, and when it was their turn, the soldiers standing by the city gate looked at Shao Mingyuan and Chenguang carefully, and asked coldly, "Not locals?"
Whether it is Shao Mingyuan or Chenguang's height, they are more conspicuous in this southern coastal land.
"Yes, we're here to kiss. Chenguang smiled.
"Lu Zhi. The soldier held out his hand.
Chenguang hurriedly led the way, and along with him was a piece of silver with a considerable weight.
As soon as the silver sank, the soldier hurriedly glanced at Lu Yin, returned it to Chenguang, and reminded, "Don't make trouble." β
"Certainly, certainly, we are all good citizens who keep to ourselves. β
The three of them finally entered the city smoothly, and found an inn not too far from Xing Yushi's Mansion to stay, Chenguang muttered: "I really didn't expect that one day height would become an obstacle." β
"The advantages and disadvantages are relative. Chenguang, you can rest for a while and go out to find a nondescript house to rent, and we will move in tomorrow. β
"Do you want to rent a house?" Chenguang was surprised.
"Once Xing Yushi is rescued, the other party will definitely know that the first person to start searching will definitely be the inn, and the height of the two of us is easy for people to guess that they are from the north. Shao Mingyuan explained.
"The lowly position understands, and the lowly position will go. β
In the evening, Chenguang returned: "General, it has been done." β
Shao Mingyuan bowed: "Well, tonight you protect Miss Li, and I'll go to explore Xing's mansion." β
"Which Xingfu?" Qiao Zhao asked.
Xing Wuyang and Xing Yushi happened to be surnamed Xing, and Shao Mingyuan really had to ask where he planned to go.
"Both probe. β
Soon it was night, Shao Mingyuan changed into a night suit, and even his handsome face was covered by a black scarf, revealing only a pair of black eyes.
"Zhaozhao, I'm leaving. Shao Mingyuan raised his hand and gently stroked Qiao Zhao's hair.
"Then be careful. β
Shao Mingyuan smiled: "Don't worry, I'll come back early." β
Qiao Zhao took out a delicate purse from his sleeve and handed it over: "Take this with you, it contains a few medicines, and the red bottle is an antidote pill, which can last at least an hour when swallowing common poisons." The white bottle is a hemostatic dispersion, and it can quickly stop the bleeding when poured into the wound, and the green bottle is the elixir-"
Qiao Zhao paused for a moment and looked at Shao Mingyuan deeply: "I hope you don't use it." β
The man was much taller than her, and she needed to look at him half-up, just in time to see the smile in his eyes.
Miss Qiao thought: This man is hers, no matter how scoundrel and cheeky she is, she is reluctant to let anyone hurt him. Whoever dares to hurt her man, she will make that person unlucky.
Miss Qiao took out a palm-length vial from her sleeve and handed it over, explaining: "The elixir is for hanging, I believe you won't use it, just in case." As for the contents of this bottle, if you really encounter someone who is difficult to deal with, you will open the cork and pour it on him. β
"What will happen then?"
"It's not a big problem, it's just that your whole body burns like fire in an instant. Miss Joe said lightly.
Shao Mingyuan held the vial and pondered for a moment, and asked, "This is what Doctor Li sent you, right?"
Qiao Zhao did not deny it.
This was originally the life-saving thing that Doctor Li gave her when they parted not long ago.
Shao Mingyuan stuffed the bottle back: "Silly girl, I don't need it." β
