"There are three prostitutes at the time, the maid, the maid and the female crown. Pen &www.biquge.info Fun & Pavilion Wan people, staying overnight with people, with Qing Wan as the precious; Ling Ji, is the collective name of the fallen Li Dan and the late twilight concubine, all because of the color and art, frequently popular; as for the female crown, it is the best in this, the predecessor is not the princess Jin Zhi, that is, the official girl and the like, with its talent and artistic skills, it is naturally fascinated by the officials and nobles, and the talented martial arts. "Speaking out of the sad son's "Fengyue Talk".
*******
Qiao Wen and Pang Yu rushed to the "Xianti Li" at the fourth watch, the two had already talked on the way, Pang Yu told him about the 1510 before and after the battle with the masked man, and Qiao Wen did not hide the purpose of the trip. He had heard Pang Yu say that Qiao was not humble or arrogant, and he suddenly felt a sense of cordiality, and had good memories of becoming famous for many years.
Qiao Wen listened to the transmission of the Tiger Hall ministers hidden in the periphery, and looked at the Pang Yu monk next to him, his robe fluttering, and his clothes were torn in several places on his waist and back, which was obviously caused by the masked man's boxing.
He took a closer look at its shape, such as a three-petal flower arrangement, and with his ancient well, he couldn't help but secretly wonder, three flowers. It seems that this masked man is at a critical juncture of life and death, and he is forced to use martial arts to reveal the master's heart, and he is glad in his heart that this trip has been very rewarding. It seems that the headquarters sent him to do things, not by accident and without reason, and it is now known that the identity of this masked man, that is, the flower thief and jade waist slave, is the doorman of "that person". Years of experience in handling cases and his instinct to catch fast told him that Pang Yu would be the key factor in the success or failure of this operation.
The two walked into the main hall, and the sporadic drunken guests in front of them were sleeping soundly at the table, and there were no warblers and Yanyan walking around, and it was easy to see Gao Fei's figure.
Gao Fei only felt a light breeze blowing in his ears behind him, and the seat next to him was already sitting on the "Iron Tree" Qiao Wen. He was about to get up and salute, Qiao Wen secretly gestured to stop him, and introduced Pang Yu who was standing beside him, "Songjiang Mansion catches Pang Yu quickly, how is your situation here?" β
"It's Master Qiao, I patrolled before, there is no other courtyard called 'Rose Garden', there are only three courtyards in the side hall to stay overnight, I listen to its cry, just an ordinary flower seeker, and I will take the household registration and ask the local catcher to check it soon." After speaking, Xiang Pang Yu nodded slightly.
Pang Yu first entered the official gate, and rarely set foot in the land of fireworks, and he thought that the people in the Qinglou did not know, so he was now pretending to be Qiao Wen's entourage guard. He looked at the suave boy in front of him who was about the same age as him, with his hair tied up by the ancient spotted swallow ring, and a brocade shirt and beast leather belt, which seemed to be a hidden soft soldier, but his speech and demeanor brought out a taste of being in charge, and he couldn't help but secretly feel good, and he smiled slightly at it.
"Is it the name of the flower garden?" Qiao Wenwen asked.
"There is indeed a flower garden in the backyard, without its name, I see a gardener's tools, presumably there are flower farmers to protect the plant, pretending to teach and evaluate its flowers, has been looked for. And...", Gao Fei paused, and saw that Dong Sanniang was about to come over with a complaining and slightly mysterious expression, so he turned to say, "Sanniang's mother, what's the matter?" β
"Sun Lao Er, the dead ghost, doesn't know where to slip away, and he has failed his son's good intentions, alas!"
"When did you not see you?" Qiao Wen had already heard Gao Fei's suspicion just now, so he interjected directly.
When Dong Sanniang came, she had noticed that there were two more people at the table, and saw him asking like a prisoner, and Gao Fei looked at him with respectful eyes, so he carefully asked Gao Fei: "Master Gao, who is this?" β
"Oh, Master Qiao, my friend, you just have to talk straight back."
"The starling looked for him and asked the backyard guard, but he disappeared at night." Dong Sanniang looked at this Qiao Ye carefully, although he had white hair and silver beard, he was radiant, and he looked like he was not angry but mighty, and the young man standing on the side was a pair of eyes that moved with her, as if he could see through his heart, so he had to answer honestly.
When Gao Fei and Qiao Wen heard this, they looked at each other, and they both got the affirmation of the suspicion of this flower farmer in their hearts from each other's eyes.
"Okay, let's not talk about this disappointment," Gao Fei said with a change of tone, "and what about the roster when you are empty-handed?" He insisted on the roster, all because the "Seven Demons of Kunshan" in the case all had the habit of becoming prostitutes, which was one of the clues to be traced.
Dong Sanniang had a mysterious smile on her face, pointed to the screen in the next hall, and said a little proudly: "This is the 'roster' in Ben." β
The three of them looked at it, and on the other side of the white jade Dali screen that originally entered the hall, there was also a relief of colorful character scenery, which was the "Ten Beautiful Play Maps". In the picture, Shuangmei is swinging in the spring river at the head of the boat, three or four are flying kites and trolling kites in the sunny day, most of them are waving fans between the umbrellas under the trees to enjoy the coolness, and Yu Mei is resting and chatting in the hazy pavilion, and so on.
Although Qiao Wen and Pang Yu saw that they were realistic and moving, they didn't know this. Gao Fei saw it, comprehended the wisdom, this ingenious method is to imitate the wind of the Son of Heaven "with the butterfly lucky", the famous girl in this place jumped on the wall, the benevolent immortal pointed the way, chanting this beautiful charming posture, such as the real sense of the painting can be a kiss Fang Ze. He was also attracted by one of the women, who was completely bathed in the water and sky, and said: "When the fog is wet, the wind is blowing." β
"Childe's good poems, as the real people in the painting heard, you must be invited to hang your clothes. But..."Dong Sanniang knows that "stealing is better than stealing" mentality, and seems to be fishing for Gao Fei's taste.
"But what?" Gao Fei was about to ask his name.
"Ben Li and her, a total of seven famous flowers, have gone to Beijing to learn thrush from the person who made this painting, the 'Sad Son', and Yu San went to the 'Pinxia Bay' at the time of the third watch."
"Kyoto Tragic Son?!"
"Shen Dubai!"
Gao Fei and Qiao Wen were shocked one after the other, and then immediately resumed thinking.
Speaking of this "sad son" Shen Dubai, he is a hot person in the capital. Gao Fei was influenced by it, bid farewell to the old dogs and horses, drunk and gold addicted life, and embarked on the road of catching fast; And Qiao Wen knew that although this person played among the flowers, he was a character who had experienced the "three great changes in the capital" like him.
The two looked at each other again, with this celebrity, it is not easy to fake, as long as the flying pigeon passes the book, the truth will be known later, let me believe it. But what is the place of 'Summer Bay' that Dong Sanniang said?
Dong Sanniang expected that the two of them didn't know this place, so she didn't wait for questions, and took the initiative to explain: "'Pinxia Bay' is a summer resort on the southwest coast of this county. It is said that there are endless beautiful scenery, endless wine, endless opera, and endless gambling here. At the end of the month, Benri is the initiator. β
"The scene of wandering that I saw just now..."Gao Fei understood the scene he saw inside.
"As Childe thought, it was the fierce result of the battle between Honzato Hide. It takes half a day to get there, so most of them left overnight on the boat that sells the summer bay. β
Qiao Wenwu suddenly felt that there were a lot of changes, and he needed some time to think, so he signaled to Gao Fei, and Gao Fei waved away Dong Sanniang and said, "Don't urge my four-cheeked bighead carp yet." β
When Dong Sanniang walked away, Qiao Wen beckoned Pang Yu to sit down, and asked him and Gao Fei to talk to each other about the black-clothed masked man first, and then he entered into contemplation.
Gao Fei talked with Pang Yu for a long time, and knew that he was the flower thief jade waist slave that he mistakenly thought, and when he heard that he was fighting alone with the flower thief and was not defeated, he was greatly admired, no wonder Qiao Wen wanted to bring him here.
Qiao Wen stroked his silver beard, made a decision, and ordered: "Since there are no clues to be found here for the time being, you two will meet with the Tiger Palace Minister first, and he will tell you what to do." I'll stay here and wait for Governor Li's return. β
Pang Yu and Gao Fei said goodbye and walked out of the green building. Gao Fei waved his hand into the air and made a few strange gestures, and after a while, the Tiger Palaceier loomed in front of him from the shadows. Pang Yu saw that this person's strange eyes were wide open, his face was full of flesh, his neck and back were slightly shrugged, his chest was shy, and his whole body was volatile with violent and brutal explosive power. Gao Fei hurriedly introduced the two to each other, and Hu Dianchen didn't talk nonsense, and said while carrying out light work, "Go, come with me!" "It looks like we're going to the masked man's footing.
He went all the way east, after several street crossings, and then turned south for a short time, Hu Dianchen stopped.
Pang Yuyi frowned and said, "How can you be in such a place?" β
Gao Fei asked, "Brother Pang knows about this place?" β
"It's called Diaoyu Alley, but it's a gathering place for prostitutes."
Gao Fei sighed and said: "I thought that there was a green building in this county in 'Xianti Li', but I didn't expect that there was a hidden place here." β
Pang Yu said embarrassedly: "The level here is much worse, it is all a place for some peddlers and pawns to find fun." β
Gao Fei took a closer look at this alley, the alleys are staggered, the terrain is complex, and each household has a dog to protect the door, and a few barks are heard from time to time. No wonder the tiger palace ministers did not dare to approach lightly, for fear of startling the snake.
Pang Yu also noticed, thought for a while, and said, "By the way, you can ask the dog master at the mouth of the alley for help." Seeing that the two of them looked puzzled, he continued to explain, "
The dog master is an old catcher in this county, and before he retired, he was in charge of this area, so I went to invite him to come. After saying that, the smoke disappeared.
It didn't take much effort for Pang Yu to attract a bald old man and introduce him to him: "These two are fast catchers from the capital, Master Dog." β
Gao Fei saw that this person was staring, his face was wrinkled and his skin was heavy, his mouth was cracked, and his gold-inlaid front teeth were exposed between the opening and closing, which was really not worthy of his name.
"Master Dog, Master Dog, don't say much, did you hear any strange movements after the third watch?" Pang Yu has always been to the point.
The dog master's many years of experience in catching fast, of course, knows which ones to ask and say, organized the language, and said with a cracked mouth: "I don't seem to hear the sound of the gong at the time of the third watch, but you know, together with the autumn wind, the old maneuver will attack, and I slept unsteadily at that time, and I heard the dog barking of the widow Zhou's house in a hazy way, you must know that the female dog has just given birth to cubs, and her blood is weak and weak, unless her life is threatened, otherwise there will be no such scream." β
Pang Yu whispered to Gao Fei on the side and added: "The dog master's family sells dogs and raises dogs for a living, and they have always regarded dogs as friends, as long as they listen to the barking of dogs, they can know where there are uneasy changes. It's their family's secret. β
The dog master was short of breath for a while, paused, sighed deeply and took a deep breath of dry smoke, and continued: "According to my estimate, either you smell blood, or you feel murderous. β
After hearing this, Gao Fei's attitude towards it suddenly changed greatly, and he asked: "Master Dog, what is the situation of Widow Zhou's family?" β
Master Dog hurriedly said: "Widow Zhou is an old bustard, and she has seven or eight mothers under her hands, and she herself also sells them with her. β
"How old is she?"
"Nearly forty years old, she looks coquettish, she is said to be born cheap, and after being widowed, she fell in love with an old man with a blind left eye, who lives in Nancheng, and has a lot of money on hand, probably because the old man can't satisfy her, and she came out again in two years."
"What's the old man's name?" Pang Yu interjected, and it seemed that he had also entered the train of thought.
Master Dog thought for a while and said: "I don't know my full name, but it is common to see that Widow Zhou is called by Sun Lao Er and Sun Er Son." β
Gao Fei thought that it seemed that he had found a place, so he said to the dog master: "Can the dog master think of a way to take us in to check it out." β
Without thinking about it, Master Dog said with a smile: "Just change your clothes, and you have wronged a few gangsters under me." β
They each wore a set of short clothes of local green-skinned gangsters, and the dog master followed by a black dog "Black Stone" with strange bones, and a group of four came to the door of Widow Zhou.
It was a small courtyard, with five or six bungalows, and from a distance it looked into the central reception room, and there was a happy Buddha on the desk who hugged and kissed. A few grease-painted ladies yawned at the gate, bracing themselves up, beckoning to passers-by outside, fighting for the last business.
Hu Dianchen stayed behind and wandered outside, and as soon as the other three people and a dog entered the door, there was a middle-aged man, who behaved obscenely, and greeted him with a smile on his face and said, "Master Dog, how can your old man be interested in coming here to shop!" β
Master Dog snorted and said, "Cai Jiu, the ghost has Xingzi to hang out, and the uncle is here to arrest people." β
Cai Jiuyi was stunned and said: "Arrest someone? Who are you arresting? β
Master Dog said: "Two hours ago, I was not at home, there was a bastard old man who went to gamble with me, and he was in a hurry to lose, and he slipped away after grabbing the money, if I couldn't catch him, I wouldn't want to mix on the ground in the future." β
Cai Jiu immediately said: "Who has such courage to dare to get along with your dog master, it is time to teach a good lesson, but there is nothing you are looking for here, there is only one guest in total, in the house of wheat teeth......"
Master Dog said: "The old man went out, and there was no shadow when he turned around, most of them were nested in that house, and I had to search from house to house." β
Cai Jiu hurriedly said: "There is indeed no here, Master Dog, according to the monthly fee, Grandma Zhou has never owed you, if you want to improve, you just have to give an order......"
The dog master knocked his head with a backhand and scolded: "Let your mother's fart, Lao Tzu wants to raise the fee and call someone to notify me, I'm afraid that you won't give it, so I need Lao Tzu to come to the door in person, and I have to find another excuse to stand on my side." He turned around and waved his hand at Gao Fei and the others: "Brothers, search for me, you have to find that bastard." β
Gao Fei and Pang Yu immediately took action, next to the doorβkicked it open, and actually dragged out several men,βas soon as it was sent to the dog master, the dog "Black Stone" brought by the dog master licked and sniffed to identify it, and then spiritually shook his head and barked twice to indicate that it was wrong. It turned out that as soon as "Blackstone" entered the door, he hooked up with the and sniffed each other and got the corresponding breath.
The dog master mentioned Cai Jiu and shouted angrily: "Damn, Cai Jiu, you said that there is only one guest, these guys came out of there, you dare to come to this with Lao Tzu." β
Cai Jiu said sneeringly: "Master Dog, these are all old guests, and the little one dares to guarantee them." β
The dog master threw him to the ground and scolded angrily: "Guarantee your mother's head, if Lao Tzu finds out that bastard, Lao Tzu will want your life, brothers, continue to search, whether it is a person or a ghost, find out all of them." β
Gao Fei and Pang Yu pulled a few more people out, and finally in the last room, Gao Fei picked up a drunk and sleepy old man and threw it on the ground.
The dog master recognized at a glance that it was Sun Lao Er, and hurriedly glanced at the two, Gao Fei understood, and shouted: "It's him, it's this bastard." β
The dog master glared and said, "Cai Jiu, what do you say?" β
Cai Jiu shrunk and said: "This guest was drunk as soon as he came, and he lay in it for nearly two hours, how could the little one think that it was the person your uncle wanted?" β
The dog master snorted and said, "I want you to look good when I turn around, take it away." β
Gao Fei stepped forward and grabbed Sun Lao Er, touching his nose with a smell of wine, but as soon as he tried this person's vein, he immediately stood up and said, "No, this guy has a problem." β
Pang Yu hurriedly asked: "What's the problem, isn't he the second child?" Didn't Master Dog confirm it just now? β
Gao Fei said: "No! He is the real second son of the sun, but this person's pulse is weak, and it is clear that he has been restrained for a long time, and the wine on his body is temporarily sprayed, it seems that he wants to come to Li Dai Tao stiff first, and then the golden cicada will come out of his shell, and he almost bluffed. Secretly, he meant to tell Pang Yu that although this person was not a masked man in black, he had a lot to do with him.
The dog master's eyes widened angrily, and Cai Jiu said with fright: "What that old brother said, the little one doesn't understand it at all." β
Gao Fei smiled and said, "You'll understand later, Master Dog, bring the dog in." β
Saying that, everyone was gathered in the middle of the courtyard, and Gao Fei and Master Dog were staring at everyone and forcing everyone hesitantly, and suddenly one of the ladies turned around and wanted to go to the back.
