Qiao Wen held his chopsticks and wanted to move, looking at the fresh smell of steamed bighead carp on the table, but his thoughts were thousands of miles away.

A month ago, the Kyoto Provincial Mansion was stolen from the treasure "Blue Water Warm Jade", which has the effect of detoxifying and warding off evil spirits and the vitality of dead things. It is placed in the jade coffin of the late princess, and it is contained between the lips and teeth of the princess to ensure that the skin does not decay, as if it were in life. When the king of Dao saw that the princess's immortal body was being desecrated and the priceless treasure was stolen, he was ashamed and angry, and ordered the thief to be captured and the lost property recovered within a month. Qiao Wen was ordered to take over the case, and with the record of the "Dark Flower" left at the scene, he made the best of the elite of the six doors of Kyoto, investigated and secretly visited, and finally caught the "Seven Demons of Kunshan" in the "Ten Dark Flowers" in the thief's lair, and Gao Fei became famous in this battle.

Qiao Wen thought in his heart, the end of the month was approaching, and the thief was missing, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

The young waiter "Starling" stepped forward to increase the wine, and said with a smile: "This master, do you want to have some ventriloquism, be happy!" Without waiting for Qiao Wen to agree, he moved his mouth and said, his words and deeds imitated the situation when Gao Fei looked at the painting and recited the poem just now.

Qiao Wen smiled and shook his head, the bighead carp of the dream taste was not interested, let alone this carving insect skill.

The starling brother couldn't do it and made a plan, his eyes rolled and he said softly: "Is the master really looking for Sun Er?" ”

When Qiao Wen heard this, he saw the strange appearance of an elf who was a jack of all trades, and at this time, his eyes were swept away, and his mouth was open and he wanted to speak, so he knew that he wanted to reward money. He wiped out a small piece of silver from the inner lining of his belt, put it on the table, and said, "Boy, say it! ”

Seeing Qian's eyes, the starling brother hurriedly said: "Sun Lao Er and Widow Zhou in Diaoyu Lane are good friends, she is the sworn enemy of San Niangniang, and she has never mentioned it to us." Seeing that Qiao was silent, the starling continued: "That week, the widow opened a secret kiln, and often deliberately looked for the ballast in the book, so Sanniangniang hated it to the bone. ”

Qiao Wen thought about it and said, "Where is the fishing alley?" ”

"Out of here, go straight east a few streets, and then turn south and you'll be there. I guess that Sun Lao Er is lying on Widow Zhou's belly and is happy! "Don't look at the starling brother's youth, he is really familiar with lust.

As soon as Qiao Wen heard it, he knew that it was the secret words of the Tiger Palace's ministers with him, and remembered the half sentence that Gao Fei had never finished, and suddenly felt that it was necessary to personally explore the place of this flower farmer.

"Can you quietly take me to see Sun Er's place?"

"What about this silver?" Starling had reached over and asked in his mouth.

Qiao nodded steadily, so that the starling led him away from the table and towards the backyard. Dong Sanniang saw it from a distance at the counter, and shouted: "Little rabbit, what do you want to do?!" "You must know that it is a bad rule for Qinglou to take guests around privately.

The starling brother said really interestingly: "This master is going to get rid of it!" Dong Sanniang didn't speak when she heard this, and buried her head in her account book.

Speaking of going back to Gao Fei's side, a lady wanted to run away, but the dog master shouted: "Stop, no one wants to slip away!" ”

The lady smiled and said, "Master Dog! I'm going up to the house. ”

The dog master said in a deep voice; "Not allowed."

"I'm sick to my stomach and can't help it."

The dog master sneered: "Then you just pull on your pants and don't make trouble in front of Lao Tzu!" ”

The lady paused, and suddenly withdrew: "It's convenient for the old lady to go here, anyway, the old lady is selling, and I'm not afraid of you to see it, and if you don't want to smell it, you can smell it." ”

She was really good, she took a few steps forward, sandwiched herself in the middle of the yard, took off her pants, and squatted down in front of the people in the yard.

When she started to act, Pang Yu paid attention, but she didn't expect that she could really pull down her face and come to this hand in public.

You must know that Pang Yu is from Buddhism, although it is a lay practice, but where have you seen such a battle, I really can't get used to her ugly appearance, I can't help but turn my face away, and hear the dog master shouting: "Pang Yu, pay attention!" ”

Pang Yu has a lot of experience in facing the enemy, and after hearing the cheers, he didn't look back at all, and swept out on the spot, making a loud sound, just dodging a row of flying knives.

The lady followed the long body and pounced, and a dagger protruded from her sleeve, aiming at Pang Yu.

Pang Yu threw a kick from his back and hit the opponent in the abdomen. When he was about to touch it, he found that the lady didn't even pull up her pants, and she pounced on her naked body, and he couldn't kick it out. He withdrew his leg, and the lady's dagger had already slashed across his arm, and he felt a heat and a pain, and he had been pulled a long gap.

But the lady didn't stop, she stabbed again with a dagger, Pang Yu dodged and grabbed it, but only grabbed the corner of her skirt, and she ripped off her entire coat with ease.

It seems that the lady did it on purpose, revealing a silk embroidered mandarin duck red underwear, with a low belly pocket, revealing a large piece of snow-white skin, and it was really tempting.

The lady bit her silver teeth and said: "What a rabbit cub, I actually ate the old lady's tofu, the old lady is still afraid of this, hum!" She pulled the waist of her pants to facilitate her movement, and then flicked her arm, and suddenly the waves were turbulent, but she held the dagger tightly in her hand, held her chest that was about to come out, and forced Pang Yu to come up and said: "Turtle grandson, if there is a kind, accompany the old lady here." ”

Pang Yu didn't expect this lady to be so spicy, he didn't have a blade in his hand, and he couldn't pay such a lady with a pair of empty hands. He had nothing to do for a while, so he was so anxious that he took two steps back and said, "If you are shameless like this, I will not be polite." ”

The lady still said fiercely: "Come over if you're welcome, and see if the old lady will be vague about you." ”

She still deceived herself and rushed forward, Pang Yu had to dodge again, knowing that this time the lady was just a false move, swept past him, with a little foot, she had already gone up to the courtyard wall, Pang Yu was about to catch up, and someone outside the wall shouted: "Go back!" ”

Followed by the human shape Huang, it was the Tiger Dianchen who was sticking to the periphery, slamming his palm on her calf and knocking her back to the wall.

This lady is quite in shape, she flipped in the air, her legs fell to the ground, and she pounced on the tiger palace minister and shouted; "Here comes another grandson. The old lady is vague about you, let's go together! As he spoke, he pounced again with his dagger.

Hu Dianchen roared, slapped her dagger with his left hand, slapped her dagger away, slapped her in the face with a palm of his right hand, and knocked her to the ground.

This lady didn't take off the dagger, jumped up and rushed over with the dagger.

Tiger Palace's eyes were round, and when she approached, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist holding the dagger, bent it hard, and actually used her dagger to pierce her snow-white chest.

The lady screamed in pain, and the tiger palace minister threw her away, and then stretched out his foot and kicked her waist to the acupoint, and said to the lady: "Lie down for me obediently, and answer honestly." ”

The lady was hit with a dagger, her chest was dyed red, she rolled all over the ground in pain, and she scolded all the dirty words in her mouth, and the tiger palace minister's tiger claws burst into the air and waved in the air, and said sharply: "I'm not a vegetarian, if you dare to scream again, I'll catch your freshly peeled chicken head." ”

That lady was actually powerful enough, and she scolded: "You embryo who kills a thousand knives, you dare to spoil the old lady like this!" ”

The Tiger Palace's claws swept towards her chest, and suddenly there were five more blood grooves, and he said coldly: "Very good!" You have a kind, you see if I dare! ”

This cruel method made everyone stunned, and the lady was bleeding from her chest, and she didn't dare to speak.

Hu Dianchen said coldly: "Who is that man in black?" ”

The lady showed a look of horror in her eyes, and after a pause, she said, "You just kill me, I will die if I say it......" After speaking, she glared at him fiercely and bit her tongue violently.

The dog master had sharp eyes and said busily: "She wants to kill herself by chewing her tongue!" ”

Hu Dianchen sneered: "It's okay, I guarantee that she won't die!" ”

Sure enough, the lady only bit half of it, and she snorted in pain, and she couldn't bite anymore. It turned out that the few kicks that Hu Dianchen secretly kicked just now had sealed part of her bloodline, and only the strength to speak was left, how could she still have the ability to chew her tongue.

The lady snorted angrily: "You heroes, use this method to deal with a woman's family, do you still want to be embarrassed?" She had seen from the way they did not mean ordinary thugs.

Gao Feishi, who had never spoken for a while, smiled and said: "It's because you are shameless, people will insult yourself and others will insult you; Never talk about morality to shameless people, especially if you have lost your integrity, let alone treat you as a human being. ”

The lady gritted her teeth and remained silent, Gao Fei continued: "You have already tasted it, you should know that our benevolent brother can't do it, do you want me to ask him to do it?!" ”

The lady saw that the tiger eyes of the tiger palace ministers swept over again, and in the eyes of this man and beast, she was like a living white sheep who had fallen into the tiger's mouth, and she was cold, and she regretted that she had easily taken off her coat, and hurriedly shouted: "That guy is gone!" ”

Gao Fei said: "Gone, did you go with your Grandma Zhou, where did you go?" ”

There was surprise in the lady's eyes, as if she didn't believe that Gao Fei knew so much, Gao Fei didn't give her a thought and hesitated and said: "You think your actions are very secret, but you didn't expect that everything was already in our hands, so it's better for you to tell the truth." ”

The lady pondered for a moment before saying, "I'm gone, but I don't know where I went." ”

Gao Fei smiled when he heard this: "Don't delay when you smell it, don't say it again, be careful that your two amethyst grapes are not guaranteed." As she spoke, she glanced at the two bulges in her belly pocket.

The lady looked terrible, and shouted loudly: "You are not raised by people, what means do you have, although it is good to use it on the old lady, but you must never dig a word out of the mouth of the old lady." ”

Gao Fei and Hu Dianchen whispered for a while, the latter nodded, and left with Sun Lao Er in his arms.

Gao Fei stepped forward and took out a delicate bottle that looked like a snuffbox from his bosom, and the woman thought that he was going to use some cruel means again, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

The one who knew that Gao Fei had sprinkled the medicine powder in the bottle on the wound, and at the same time reached out to untie her pulse, and said softly: "Okay!" There is backbone, although the technique you want to get out of is too obscene, but your backbone is enough, and the sword medicine I applied to you is very effective, you can rest. ”

The medicine was really effective, not only stopped the bleeding, but also reduced the pain a lot, and at the same time the strength was restored, which surprised the lady.

Gao Fei said: "Put on your clothes, don't make that ugly appearance, although you use hue as a means, but you also have to be subtle, like you who is so popular in the court, like an old sow who has exhausted a man's appetite, who else will appreciate you." ”

Pang Yu brought clothes and put them on the lady, and said, "Although your injuries are not serious. But it's also annoying, it's better to lie down and rest honestly, and stop thinking about going to the ventilation to report the news. ”

When the lady heard this, she jumped up and scolded: "You silver spear candle head, who wants the kindness of your grandson?" ”

Pang Yu suddenly felt that the Buddha was on fire, and the dark thought was empty, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at her Tanzhong acupoint, and the lady fainted.

Qiao Wen came to the backyard garden, and walked away the little starling, and saw that although the flower soil was renovated very diligently, most of the flowers were half dead, and it seemed that this flower farmer was really not very good. Thinking about walking, he came to the door of the gardener's house in the corner of the garden that the starling brother said about Sun Lao Er.

Qiao Wen carefully looked at the mud hoe next to the house, the flower scissors, and the flower fertilizer and insect medicine that smelled a little peculiar, and did not let go of any clues. Then he pushed the door into the house, a bed, a table and a chair in the house, all of which were made of rattan, and the roof had a window that was transparent to the wind and light, and was half-opened with a stick, and there was a picture of flowers and plants hanging on the back of the door.

Qiao sat down in the creaking rattan chair, and saw that although the table was full of wine glasses and bottles, he couldn't smell the wine, but smelled the slightest remnant of rouge gouache, and couldn't help but smile. It seems that the starling is correct, and this person is going to find a good old man, so it is possible to bring this perfume smell. Thinking of coming to Gao Feihu's palace ministers and finding the right place, they couldn't help but feel happy for a while.

Qiao got up steadily and was about to leave the house, when he saw a small hole the size of a rat hole on the edge of the house next to his feet, and the edge of Confucius was smooth, so he was even more suspicious. The outside of the house is full of flower manure and insect medicine, and rats have always gnawed roots and stems for a living, but it is forbidden to grow flowers. As soon as his heart moved, he secretly used Xuangong, grabbed it with his hand, and only heard a whoosh, and there was an extra bamboo tube in Qiao Wen's palm.

Qiao Wen took out a roll of paper from the tube and unfolded it to see that it was a map of the region, on which many symbols and curves were drawn. He thought to himself that this person must have taken some action to make this map, and it seemed that he had to find the Li Governor's Mansion for details.

Qiao Wen lowered his head in contemplation and walked out of the house. As soon as he walked to the gate of the garden, he saw a swallow symbol on the bluestone paving road under the moonlight, and the swallow's beak pointed to the stone path leading to the secluded place. It seems that Gao Fei's half sentence refers to this.

Qiao entered the end steadily, turned a moon-shaped door, and saw a clean courtyard. He stopped and found that in front of him was a Jiugong road array composed of rockeries, shrubs, flowers and trees, and the terrain. It is not difficult to crack this array, you only need to move the diagonal side horizontally and vertically, and the number of three and three of the nine square grids is fifteen to turn the door of death into a door of life, but you must move the real thing at the point of the mechanism. He was afraid of touching the hidden alarm bell, and when he saw the words "Pinxin Pavilion" in the courtyard, he canceled the idea of entering.

In the past, the favorite concubine of the Son of Heaven is now the imperial concubine, with poetry and books, and she has to give a pavilion of goods. The location of this Qinglou has the same name, but Qiao Wen knows that it is the name of a secret organization in the rivers and lakes, the "Goddess Sect". Since the decline of the beggar gang through the "Three Great Changes in the Capital", the "Goddess Sect" has become a new generation of wind media, and it makes a living by selling news. This organization is one of the key monitoring objects of the six doors, so Qiao Wenluo is one or two.

Qiao Wen didn't want to have more branches, looked at the sky, and realized that he had been out for a long time, and with more of this, he had to be even more careful, for fear of making people suspicious, so he hurried back to the main hall.

Gao Fei smiled and said, "Brother Pang is finally reluctant. ”

Pang Yu lowered his head and sighed: "Compared with the tiger with a knife, it is really much more tender, and she was forced to be helpless just now." ”

Gao Fei said: "Brother Pang's finger is not light. ”

Pang Yu said: "I shot out of anger, but the tiger with the knife was ruthless in a calm situation, which is really beyond my reach." ”

Gao Fei looked at the group of people gathered in the courtyard and said to Master Dog, "Master Dog, I'll leave it to you." ”

Just now, while interrogating the lady, Master Dog commanded his "Black Stone" to search the house, and really bit out a masked black robe. His face sank, and he shouted to the crowd: "Those who know where you Grandma Zhou is, it's best to stand up yourself, and when I find out, you will be guilty." ”

There were more than a dozen men and women in that pile, all of them with faces like dirt, but none of them took action, and the dog master sneered: "Very good, it seems that they are all hard bones." But when you meet me, even if you are an iron man, I can pinch him, and I don't believe that I can't fix your flesh and blood. ”

As soon as the dog master ordered, the "black stone" shuttled through the crowd and sniffed, and suddenly pounced on Cai Jiu.

Cai Jiu was so frightened that he rolled on the ground, but the "Black Stone" still pursued it, and Cai Jiu suddenly flicked his leg and kicked at it.

Pang Yu was watching from the side, and saw that his leg had just kicked out, and with a flick of his finger in his hand, he hit his "knee jumping acupoint", and his leg was immediately paralyzed.

The dog master stepped forward and poked Cai Jiu's "shoulder well point" with a cigarette stick, and immediately couldn't move his whole body, allowing the "black stone" to bite his calf, tearing and tearing, and a large piece of skin and flesh gnawed off.

Cai Jiu was frightened and shouted: "Spare me, I will say anything......"

The dog master said coldly: "Sun Lao Er is your grandmother Zhou's old friend, you don't know you, you have long thought you are weird, tell me quickly, where is she?" ”

Cai Jiu said in a sway: "Master Dog, let me go." I only know that she left through the back door with a person, and when she left, she asked me to bury the black clothes, and I didn't want you to arrive, so I had to take Sun Lao Er's prefuscation. There is also the lady named Qin Haonan, and when Grandma Zhou is away, she will talk about things. That's all. Cai Jiu saw that the black stone was dancing beside him, and he was extremely frightened, so he paid everything he knew in one go.

Gao Fei knew that he couldn't ask anything, the key was that Qin Haonan's lady, and when he looked at it, he saw that her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she seemed to be listening to what they were saying, so she had an idea.

Gao Fei said to the dog master: "I beg you to lock them in the house first, everyone points to the acupoints, ask clearly, and let them go if there is no problem, we can't disturb the innocent people." The dog quickly agreed.

Gao Fei then said to Pang Yu: "I still think that Sun Lao Er has more problems, let's catch up with the tiger with a knife." ”

Pang Yuzheng was bored how to say how to leave, and when he saw his eyes, he had to follow him obediently with suspicion.
