"The seven demons of Kunshan are the peony kuike, the peony near-guest, the tutu detaine, the magnolia ghost, the narcissus wanderer and me, that is, the young chrysanthemum; There is also the boss Flower Thief Jade Waist Slave, who is a Rose Assassin. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info to the flower as a memory, more work to get more. As for whether there are others or not, it is not clear. The quote is from "Six Doors. "Interrogation Quotations" of the Dark Flower Archive".

After the tiger palace ministers scattered the guards of the city in the peripheral "Xianti Li", they were about to sweep up, and saw that the gray sky had begun to glow with pieces of fish belly white, and there were already pedestrians walking on both sides of the road, thinking that since they could not perform light skills, they had to use footwork to walk through the streets and alleys.
The prefect's yamen is the only place to go to the fishing alley, the tiger palace ministers strode through the alley, the tiger eyes were fine, saw two familiar backs were closing the door and entering, the heart was depressed, write down the matter, and did not stop, speed up the footwork to the flower lane.
Hu Dianchen came to the door of Zhou's courtyard, and a man in green clothes who looked like a gangster leaning against the wall outside the door stared at him carefully, not afraid to greet him, and stepped forward to say to Hu Dianchen: "You are the one who came here with Yu Zhu to do business before, right?" ”
When Hu Dianchen heard this, he thought about it, the jade catches quickly, it should be Pang Yu, so he nodded slightly.
"My dog master said that when I see one of the three of you, I will hand over this thing." After speaking, the thug stretched out his hand and groped slightly at the collar, pulled out a folded strip of paper and put it in the palm of the Tiger Palace, and then turned around and squatted against the wall without moving.
Hu Dianchen opened the note, on which were written eight scribbled and legible words, "Zhou woman is here, I have chased it", and a dog mark was printed on the bottom corner. Hu Dianchen immediately remembered the black dog "Black Stone", and it was much easier to have it to lead the way. Since there were no two people on the way and here, it must have been other clues, Hu Dianchen didn't think about it, and turned around and went back to the Qinglou first.
Gao Fei and Pang Yu said in unison "Selling Summer Bay", and the two of them secretly celebrated in their hearts, and they had slightly estimated the purpose of the action of "Dark Flower".
The autumn wind has risen, the hot summer is about to pass, and the trip organized by "Xianti Li" to sell money and accept the summer should be the last time this year, and if you miss it, you will have to wait for eight months later next year. The invited wealthy businessmen and martial arts people must have a huge amount of money, full of private pockets, and spend a lot of money. The dark flowers must see this, and it is their true color to be charming and murderous, and to kill people and sell goods. Could it be that "Immortal Tiredness" has something to do with this?
The two subconsciously rushed back to the "fairy tiredness", and neither of them spoke, for fear of interfering with their respective train of thought.
Pang Yu was thinking about the two maids of the young grandmother of Governor Li's mansion, and she wanted to know that the two of them were with Pang Yu, and Pang Yu's ghost friend was an old friend who had known Songjiang for many years, and she didn't know if she was invited, so she couldn't help but worry about their safety. Although he rarely gets involved in the Qinglou, he knows that the two of them are the first famous spots in the "Xianti Li", and it is precisely for this reason that he sympathizes with his friends and rarely enters the Qinglou. Thinking that Gao Fei had listened to music and dancing in the Qinglou before, his heart moved, and he asked: "When Brother Gao was in the Qinglou, do you know the names of the two musicians who are waiting?" ”
Gao Fei, who was flying by with light work and fluttering sleeves, was secretly thinking about the inextricable connection with what happened in the three hours before and after the "fairy tiredness", thinking of the stone path next to the flower garden, Qiao Ye wanted to work in the Qinglou on the spot, and he must have found something here. The beautiful smile of the dancer came to mind, and it seemed that there must be a great secret hidden here. Hearing Pang Yu's question, he said by the way: "Fan Su Xiaoman! ”
Qiao Wen watched Dong Sanniang clean up the scraps of the wooden lattice window paper and walk out of the door, and moved Sun Lao Er to the table and sat down, at this time Sun Lao Er had woken up, staring at Qiao Wen, his eyes were full of hostility.
"Your leader, the flower thief Jade Waist Slave, didn't tell you who I am?"
Sun Lao Er glared hatefully, and confronted Qiao Wen without saying a word.
"Qi Tang broke a string of whips, don't you accept it?"
Sun Lao Er was still silent, but his anger was not as strong as before, and he seemed to know where Qiao Wen was sacred.
Qiao Wen has always been the enemy who wants to capture the old man, sat down on the red lacquered sandalwood chair under the broken window, stroked the silver beard, and slowly talked about the allusion: "Sixteen years ago, the green forest tycoon "Jade Overlord" Baiyun City stood in Qilian Mountain with an iron cloth shirt and hard skills, but unfortunately there were unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and he died violently overnight, and his fourth aunt and her disciples disappeared that night, and the huge wealth in the village was also missing, and the case was suspenseful for many years. ”
Qiao paused steadily, stared at Sun Lao Er, who was already trembling and sweating coldly, and continued: "Five years ago, there was a "male and female double thief" in Beijing, and the woman and the man were killed, which alarmed the six doors, and found out that it was related to the two of them, and issued a secret order to pursue them, but I don't know why the two of them heard the wind and escaped without a trace. I still remember that the fourth aunt in Baiyun City is called Zhou Miaoren, and that disciple seems to be called Sun Buer, isn't it, Sun Er? ”
When Sun Lao Er heard this, he struggled inwardly and remained silent. He remembered the "flower burial" torture in the organization, and immediately felt a chill, since the east window incident happened, both horizontal and vertical were dead, thinking that it would be up to death.
Seeing him like this, Qiao Wen had no choice but to make a killer move, and said with a change of words: "I don't know if the little sister of Yaoju is surnamed Bai, surnamed Sun, or has her mother's surname Zhou?" ”
Sun Laoer's whole body trembled in an instant, and he suddenly felt that the bones and arms around his body were rubbing in pain, although he didn't want to show weakness, his mouth and nose couldn't help but snort.
Qiao Wen saw that this move was really wanted, so he sighed: "Sixteen Fanghua, it's a pity!" If it weren't for the disease..."
"What did you do with her?!" Sun Lao Er began to interject and speak, the wording was blunt, and it seemed that he had not spoken for a long time.
"She is now a guest at the same table in the capital, and Xuelian eats as a meal every day." Qiao Wen said softly.
A month ago, one of the "Seven Demons of Kunshan" was captured in the dark flower operation, which was the "little sister of Xiao Ju" in Qiao Wen's mouth, that is, the young man of Xiao Ju, Qiao Wen saw this little girl at that time, and he knew that he was used to treating her well, and took her to the prison of the Criminal Department to watch the flowers, and then gave her the diet and play life of a rich girl and a celebrity, and it didn't take long to say everything. Among them, the clue of the "Rose Garden" she revealed, although it was the news of the flower thief and jade waist slave, secretly wanted to find Sun Lao Er. Qiao Wen saw through the connection, and this was a breakthrough, and sure enough, Sun Lao Er spoke.
"Qiao Wen, I want you to stake, what do you want to ask!" Sun Lao Er was mentioned as a lifeline, and finally couldn't hold on to lying on the table softly.
Sun Lao Er was Sun Buer, a disciple of Baiyun City twenty years ago, and he had an affair with his fourth aunt at that time, and at the instigation of him, he conspired to kill Baiyun City, and he was blind. At that time, Zhou Miaoren was pregnant, and soon gave birth to a daughter, but when she was four years old, she learned that she was suffering from five yin veins, and she could not live to be sixteen years old. Although he later found a famous doctor to get a home remedy, but the medicine was extremely precious, and it didn't take long to exhaust the property brought out of the village, so he had to come out and commit the crime again, and finally alarmed the six doors, and was forced to invest in the shade of the dark flower organization, doing things for it and earning precious medicinal materials. Qiao Wen said that the snow lotus is one of them, this woman is the lifeblood of Sun Buer, and Qiao Wen broke through it, and was finally convinced.
"Let's talk about the Seven Demons of Kunshan first." Although Qiao Wen knew, he still doubted his words, so he tried it.
"The Seven Demons of Kunshan are Peony Kuike, Peony Guest, Tu Xuan Guest, Mulan Youke, Narcissus Wanderer and my daughter, that is, the young chrysanthemum."
Qiao Wen listened to it, and sure enough, it was not bad from the interrogation quotation, so he said: "This is only six of the seven demons, and the remaining guest is you, right?" ”
"The close guest, also known as the lewd guest, is a conjoined twin and has always been inseparable. I call myself a pomegranate wood guest, and I don't belong to the Seven Demons. ”
Qiao Wen thought that the father-daughter relationship was deep and had something to hide, but he didn't know that this was the case. I remembered that on the day of the round-up of the Seven Demons, there were indeed two people who were first pierced through the tendons by Gao Fei's Swallow Thirteen Sword Style, and then died under the random guns of the soldiers.
"Who is the man in black in the backyard of the official mansion? What are you doing in the middle of the night by the ancient well? Is it that the lost property of the Daowang Mansion is hidden in the well? Qiao Wen believed his words, and asked one after another.
Sun Buer's eyes were surprised and admired, but he hesitated, and it seemed that he still had lingering feelings about the flower thief jade waist slave.
Qiao Wen took out a wordless cowhide envelope from his arms, put it on the table, and said: "This letter was received the day before the round-up operation of the Seven Demons, you can see if you recognize the handwriting in the letter." ”
Sun Buer listened to Qiao Wen's tone, and it seemed that the successful round-up of the Seven Demons of Kunshan was the result of a report from within their organization. He couldn't help but take out the letter from the envelope and open it, it read, "The land of Kunshan hides flowers, and the flowers are harvested at dawn and evening." "Words are like poems. He rubbed the paper, sniffed it carefully, and his hands trembled.
Five years ago, he committed a crime in Beijing as a "male and female thief", causing a storm in the city, but fortunately a mysterious person reported the news, and only then did he escape the secret order of the six doors. Afterwards, this person introduced the Dark Flower, and for many years he wanted to know his face, but he found out that the Dark Flower Organization was a double leader, thinking that this person saved the three of them for a purpose. Sun Buji has a major task hidden in his heart, and he will not talk to Qiao Wen no matter what. Let's see if we can... Thinking of his daughter's childish and sick appearance, since he is unkind, he doesn't need to be righteous with him.
Seeing this, Qiao Wen was silent, so he put pressure on the fire and sighed: "The rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, and it will remain unchanged through the ages." ”
When Sun Buer thought of this, he no longer concealed it: "This letter is the handwriting of the other leader of the dark flower, the 'Rose Wild Guest'. ”
"Twin bosses?" Joe was puzzled.
"You try to take the paper and look at the sun, the reason why you were able to escape five years ago was to receive a similar letter, although the handwriting is different, the characteristics of the paper are the same."
Qiao Wen picked up the letter paper and faced the broken window, the light was transparent through the texture, and the butterfly flower shape was faintly visible, and in the blink of an eye, he suddenly felt as if the butterfly wings were about to flutter and float the fragrance of flowers. It is also a person who knows flowers, I don't know how to compare it to the sad son, and I have time to find it to refer to the origin of this paper. He thought for a moment and said, "Is he the man in black?" ”
Sun Buer shook his head and said: "I have never seen that person, but the man in black is a flower thief and jade-waisted slave, I received that treasure a month ago, and hid it in the ancient well in the backyard of the official mansion, and I got it back at the third watch." Somehow found a variable, injured and returned to Zhou's courtyard, and made a quick plan, asking me to pretend to be a simple poisoning case, pretending to be caught by you, how do I know that I was brought back here, I am afraid that the matter will be exposed, just... You'll know the rest of the story. ”
Qiao Wen took back the letter and put it in his arms, took out a roll of paper from his sleeve, spread it out on the table, put it on the table, and pressed the paper stone to the two ends, and said, "Then tell me about your actions here!" ”
Sun Buji saw that the bamboo tube paper scroll that he thought he had swallowed appeared in front of him, and he was shocked that this person deserved to have the ability of Baidu, it seems that "seven captures and seven verticals" does not only refer to his martial arts. He saw that Qiao Wen was just unfolding the drawings normally, and he was lucky in his heart, if the secret was known, it would be in vain for him to exhaust the secrets of the organization, thinking that this person was very interested, and he needed to deal with it carefully, otherwise he would have to worry about the future.
Sun Buer thought for a moment, then made up his mind and said, "This is the water map of Pinxia Bay. ”
Gao Fei and Pang Yu met Hu Dianchen on the way, and seeing that he personally found the two of them, Qiao Wen must have something important to explain, thinking of this, the three of them exclaimed regardless of the pedestrians, and they were eager to rush back. When I came to the intersection of the government office, a person walked on the side road, with a round face and a fat body, like a good person, and wiped his forehead sweat while walking.
Gao Fei had heard Pang Yu describe the appearance of his boss Li Zhifu, so he stepped forward to ask for a salute. A person who was originally walking in Li Yutang's figure suddenly rushed in front of him, only to see that this person was in a tough shape, his arms were violent and his fists were empty, and his whole body was volatile with wild pressure. If the tiger palace minister is like the power of a tiger descending the mountain, that person is like a fierce wolf pounced.
When Pang Yu saw this person, he stepped forward with a smile, easily inserted it between the two, skillfully isolated the two wolf-eyed and fierce eyes, and then gently patted the person's shoulder and said, "Qilang, you are here too, your own people, you are loose." ”
When Li Yutang saw this, he also shouted: "Tong Qianjing retreat!" That Tong Qianjing is also Pang Yu's person who called this Qilang snorted coldly, and returned to the position of Li Yutang's figure.
Pang Yu's cold eyes on him have been common, and even Li Zhutang, who has a relationship with his master and servant, does not mind being noble and humble, and regards him as a sibling, and does not give face for many years, but Pang Yu knows that his old friend "Hunter Friend" is just a lonely and cold personality. Just like he called Shichiro, he has a different background.
Since the two sides knew each other, after greeting each other, a group of people set off for the Qinglou.
Gao Fei said to Li Yutang as he walked: "Governor Li, what did you find?" ”
At that time, Qiao Wen in Qinglou instructed him to check the files related to Sun Buer, and secretly handed him a copy of the bamboo tube paper scroll, and instructed him to find the corresponding location. Li Yutang found Widow Zhou from Sun Buer, and then found Dong Sanniang from Widow Zhou, and then of course found "Xianti Li", and finally found the location of this map, Pinxia Bay.
After Li Yutang finished thinking about it, he responded: "That second son is not an ordinary thief, this person should have a lot to do with this trip to the summer bay." ”
Gao Fei heard that although this person didn't know the hidden background behind Sun Lao Er, his guess was not far away, so he still asked, "How can you see it?" ”
"The official looked through the files of the previous prefect, and the two of them have been enemies for many years, probably because of the secret kilns of each Qinglou. Widow Zhou was suspected of being the main instigator of putting the frozen corpse into the Qinglou and the rumor that she died immediately, and Dong Sanniang often complained that the dark kiln was too weathered and rotten, and the errand would sweep the fishing alley from time to time to ask for money. Widow Zhou and Sun Lao Er somehow had a big quarrel in front of Dong Sanniang one day, vowing to separate, but Dong Sanniang saw it and accepted Sun Lao Er as a flower farmer. I suspect that the two of them are purely for show, aiming to organize a trip to Pin Summer Bay. Li Yutang said a string in one breath, suddenly sweating, and hurriedly wiped it up.
The two talked while walking, Pang Yu and Tong Qianjing were side by side, constantly telling him the wonderful stories that happened to him, and the tiger palace minister walked at the end, staring at Tong Qianjing's back with tiger eyes. It didn't take long for everyone to come to the "Xianti Lane", push the door and enter the Accord where Qiao Wen was, and just heard Sun Buer say the words "Pinxia Bay".
After listening to everyone's reports, Qiao Wen passed on his voice to Sun Buer: "You should know the methods of the Taoist King, I can't protect your heart and liver without me, it's best if you don't lie, you know the consequences." Then he whispered to Gao Fei: "Be careful of this person!" Finally, he commanded in public: "The soldiers are fast, and they can set off after discussing the countermeasures." ”
After Qiao Wen finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the pavilion, and as soon as he came out of the door of the Qinglou, he met Master Chen. As soon as this person saw Qiao Wen, he panted and said, "Master Qiao, just now... Just now..."Qiao Wenzhi's expression was flustered, his body was heavy, and he didn't know light skills at all, so he picked him up, unfolded his body and went to the official office.
Chen Shi suddenly felt that the clouds flew off the ground, the houses and trees on both sides kept retreating, and Qiao Wen's voice came from his ears: "Don't worry, don't be afraid, speak slowly." It turned out that Qiao Wen had learned from his expression that things had changed.
Qiao Wen fell into the uninhabited backyard, first carefully circled along the perimeter to search to no avail, and then came to the well to push and pull and move the well stones, but did not move, and finally looked down at the clear and sandless well water, and secretly Yun Xuangong palm claws pressed falsely, with a bang, only five water injections were stirred up to rise out of the well, and scattered water droplets were scattered on his face. Qiao Wen licked the droplets that flowed from the corners of his mouth, and sure enough, as he said in Master Chen, who walked away at the gate of the official office, the taste was bitter.
Qiao Wen touched the newly replaced wooden bucket for drawing water, and the trees and grass near it were no longer as green as the ones he saw last night, and he knew that someone had taken the lead. What went wrong, Qiao Wen pondered, and recalled in his mind what Huchen said, the Pinxin Pavilion in the backyard of Xianti, secretly wondering that something was wrong, Gao Fei They were discussing countermeasures there, wouldn't they be like him to exhaust the secrets, and he really regretted putting the office in the Qinglou, and suddenly felt for the first time like a move in his hands to capture seven verticals and seven Tang Mansions.
Qiao Wen did not hesitate to use the light skill of "controlling qi volley" to sweep towards the "immortal tiredness", and began to worry about the safety of Gao Fei and their situation over there.
