Chapter 5 Visiting the West Lake
"Murder! Kill! ”
Before it was dawn, Lao Zhang, who got up early to carry dung and water, found the corpses scattered in the alley and screamed in fright. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The neighbors were woken up by Lao Zhang's shouting, and they got up in twos and threes, and they all went out to see what was going on.
Yo, dead man! Who died? Or two people!
This is the second murder in recent times!
The neighbors are talking about it, and it's really not a big deal. It didn't take long for the corpse to be surrounded three times inside and three times outside.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way!" A team of people quickly cleared the crowd.
"Hmm...... It must have been the work of a master. An older catcher touched his beard and said.
"Lao Wang, how can you tell?" The crowd asked.
"You see, both of them were killed by a single knife, and the stab wound in the neck was clean and neat." Lao Wang flipped over the collar of the corpse again, not afraid of this bloody scene at all, worthy of being caught quickly. "Good knife, good knife, the knife that kills must be very sharp."
"Why the knife? Isn't it a sword, an axe, or something? "A younger catcher asked.
"The sword is definitely impossible, generally the sword is used to stab, if you use the blade of the sword to hurt people, at most it is a sword mark, it is impossible for the wound to be broken so completely." Lao Wang said, "If it is an axe, the wound should be larger." So I think, it should be the knife! ”
"Lao Wang is amazing!" "The king is fast and mighty!" Other catchers and people praised the old king.
"Hey, where, where," Lao Wang was smug and proud, "go, carry the corpse back to the yamen, post notices, arrest people, and everyone with a knife will not let go, and interrogate carefully!" ”
……
Hmm~~ Sleeping so comfortably, Sun Linling stretched her waist and woke up. But I feel like I've slept for a long time, and I don't have much strength in my body.
Huh? Why did the window open and there was a strong wind last night? Blowing the windows open, Sun Linling didn't know that there was such a thing as being incense.
Sun Linling tidied up, opened the door and went downstairs.
There were not many guests in the lobby downstairs, and I saw the shopkeeper rubbing his hands and walking around in front of the door, "Hey, how to put this thing on the table, what to do, I don't have any business, it's really unlucky!" ”
"What's wrong? Shopkeeper," Sun Linling was very happy, "What's going on?" ”
"Yo, guest officer, are you up? Did you sleep well yesterday? Didn't bother you with anything, did you? The shopkeeper asked.
"It's fine, it's good." Sun Lin ordered.
"It's okay, it's okay." The shopkeeper's hand rubbing.
"Did something happen?" Sun Linling asked.
The shopkeeper's brows furrowed suddenly, "Hey, I don't know if it's unlucky, two thieves died on the edge of my shop yesterday, and now it's okay, no one comes, who will come to the inn where the dead people have to rest, so I don't have any business at all, unlucky, unlucky." ”
Sun Lin was a little excited, thinking that he had encountered such a thing, this is the rivers and lakes! "Don't worry, shopkeeper, business will slowly get better! Yesterday the room money was given to you, the room was kept for me, and I went out. ”
"Okay, let's go." The shopkeeper took the silver taels.
Sun Lin ordered the house, where did he go today? I heard that the West Lake is good, the scenery is beautiful, and I will go to the lake today.
West Lake, originally a part of the Qiantang River, due to sediment accumulation, gradually formed a sand spit at the foot of the two mountains in the north of Xihan - Wu Mountain and Baobao Mountain, and then the two sand spits gradually approached, and finally adjacently became a sandbar, forming an inner lake on the west side of the sandbar, that is, West Lake.
There are no less than hundreds of boats of all sizes in the lake, all of which are exquisitely created, carved railings and painted arches.
Sun Linling rented a small boat to tour the lake, the boatman is not very old, but his complexion is dark, although there are infinitely beautiful scenery every day, but he can't withstand the sun and rain.
"Girl, are you going to swim in the lake alone?" The boatman chatted.
"yes, wow, West Lake is so beautiful." Sun Lin ordered.
"No," said the boatman, "our Lin'an Mansion is now under the rule of the Emperor, and the West Lake is even more prosperous." You see, in addition to the pilgrims who come every year, there are also envoys, merchants, monks from various countries, students who go to Beijing to take the exam, and merchants from other places who come to Lin'an for trade. Not counting the locals who come to play on weekdays. ”
"yes, a lot of people, hee hee hee so happy." Sun Lin ordered.
The boatman said, "If you look at the lake again, there are all kinds of pleasure boats, our hand-cranked boats are not counted, just the cruise boats, there are no less than dozens of boats, including our hand-cranked boats, there are hundreds." ”
"Uh-huh." Sun Linling said, "Hey! Be careful! ”
"It's all right, don't worry," said the boatman, with a flick of his oars, as he walked past the big pleasure boats, "we're used to it." ”
It was very thrilling just now, seeing that the small boat was about to crash into the big boat, Sun Linling was so frightened that he closed his eyes. But the boatman's skills are really good, but they are a little scary. However, it can also be shown from this aspect that there are really too many pleasure boats on the West Lake. The scene of the two boats meeting often happened and honed the skills of these boatmen. The big boat turns slowly, but the small boat is very nimble.
The breeze is gentle, and the warm breeze is drunk to the tourists.
There were a lot of boats, and the boatman came to the middle of the lake, and on the small boat where Sun Linling was, the boatman didn't rock hard, and said, "Let's just go with the waves, let the girl feel the beauty of the lake, okay?" ”
Sun Linling said: "Of course you can." ”
The boat floated slowly on the surface of the lake.
……
Not far from the boat, there is also a larger boat that floats with the waves. The boat didn't get closer very deliberately, and Sun Linling accidentally heard the voices of several men talking from the painting boat.
"No matter what method you use, no matter what price you pay, you must find Zhao Xuan! I can't find a single child, I don't know what you people are for! ”
"The prince is angry!" Everyone said in unison.
"Well," the man known as the prince continued, "Zhang Huhu, Li Wenhu, Wu Weihu, this king has received a flying pigeon biography from your eldest brother, and the letter says that you have your own strengths and skills, and I hope you will not disappoint this king!" ”
"Yes! will definitely live up to the expectations of the prince! ”
It turned out that three of the four tigers of Jinling were on the boat.
……
The boat fluttered and crashed into the boat, and the boatman hurriedly took the oars and pushed them away from the boat.
It was a very normal trivial matter, but the painting was not an ordinary person, and what was being talked about was a very important and sensitive matter.
"Who?" The Three Tigers Li Wenhu was taken aback and asked.
The four tigers jumped out of the cabin.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! The boat was about to crash, and I borrowed the force. The boatman said apologetically.
"Third brother?" The fourth tiger Wu Weihu looked at the third tiger Li Wenhu, Li Wenhu did not answer, but looked at the person who was called the prince.
"Who's on the boat?" The prince asked.
Li Wenhu looked at it and said, "It's a woman." ”
The prince thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, let them go, I don't want others to know that I'm here." ”
"Yes." Li Wenhu said.
"Remember what I just said," said the prince, "come to the shore and go home." ”
The boat turned around and headed towards the shore.
