Chapter Ninety-Eight: Search

Not long after he finished speaking, there was a commotion outside the street. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Looking out of the window, I saw officers and soldiers searching from house to house. "If anyone dares to take in outsiders, beware of walking around without food!" The officers and soldiers at the head of the group were full of flesh and shouted viciously at the common people.

Zhu Youcai is quite efficient!

At this time, He Laoqi ran back to the inn in a panic, "A few, I'm really sorry, now the government is strictly investigating outsiders." Let's leave the inn. Otherwise, our whole family will be unlucky. ”

"Now that the officers and soldiers are outside the door, we will definitely let them catch them when we go out. We'll go into hiding, and you can deal with it. After dark, we will definitely leave, and hope that Brother He will help. After a few days of getting along, He Laoqi is still a righteous person, and Bai Lufeng believes that he will lend a hand.

He Laoqi thought about it and nodded in agreement, "Okay!" We got acquainted once, and it was fate. ”

"Bang bang bang-" There was a knock on the inn door. He Laoqi straightened his white-washed gray robe and trotted all the way to open the door.

"Ladies and gentlemen, why do you want to visit the shop?" He Laoqi accompanied the smiling face and complimented the officers and soldiers who knocked on the door.

"Get out of the way!" The leader of the officers and soldiers with a face full of flesh squinted at He Laoqi, ignored it, and rushed straight into the inn, "Search for me!" ”

After speaking, a group of officers and soldiers rushed in like hungry wolves and searched through boxes and cabinets. "Bang", the table is overturned; The blue and white porcelain placed on the counter was shattered...... This is a search, and it is clearly a smash.

He Laoqi felt distressed for a while. In the end, it was a businessman who had seen the scene, He Laoqi opened his mind at one o'clock, quickly took out the black money bag, and respectfully honored the officers and soldiers led by him. The officer and soldier took it in his hand and weighed it, and then there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Brothers, let's go!" Turning his head, he warned He Laoqi viciously, "Don't take in outsiders, otherwise you will be dragged to the incineration site and burned." ”

"Yes, yes, villains don't dare!" The officers and soldiers walked far away, and He Laoqi could still clearly feel a chill down his spine.

This group of officers and soldiers really saw the money, took He Laoqi's money, and did not go upstairs to search at all.

When the sky darkened, Bai Lufeng and the others said goodbye to He Laoqi, "Thank you big brother for saving me today, these silver are not a tribute, I hope to make up for the loss of the eldest brother." After speaking, He Xiaotian presented a gray-black money bag with both hands, and the money bag was bulging, with thirty taels of silver.

"You're welcome! Neighbors who do not hate those officers and soldiers. He Laoqi pretended to shirk it, and then took the money bag, "Where are you going to go when you leave the inn?" Now that the officers and soldiers are checking tightly, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find a place to stay in the city. ”

"There's always a way to find a way." Bai Lufeng said with a smile.

Taking advantage of the night, several people left the inn.

"Childe, what should we do next, do you want to?" Before He Xiaotian's words could be finished, he was interrupted by Bai Lufeng.

"Take a walk around the city for a while, and see if there are any abandoned houses. Many people in Dali City moved their families out, and the houses were uninhabited, which was an ideal hiding place. Bai Lufeng spoke.

Dali City was originally bright and green, because of this plague became a dead city, at night it was even more black lights blind, from time to time there was a dog barking. Suddenly, torches lit not far away. One, two, three...... There were six torches. The torches are getting closer, footsteps are heard, the sound of military boots. This is a group of officers and soldiers on night patrol! Since entering Dali City, he has never encountered officers and soldiers patrolling at night.

The officers and soldiers were getting closer and closer, Wang Yizhu, Bai Lufeng, and He Xiaotian glanced at each other and decided to fly up to the roof with the swallow. At this time, a pair of hands slapped on Bai Lufeng's shoulder. Turning around, Bai Lufeng had already pinched the man's wrist, "Who is it?" ”

"Heroes, I'm here to help you, follow me!" The man spoke. I couldn't really see the man's face at night, but judging from the voice, it should be a middle-aged man.

"Kind big brother!" The swallow cried out in a low voice, a look of surprise on her face. She couldn't be more familiar with this voice, and when she went out to collect medicine that day, the voice of the eldest brother who was kind enough to help was also like this, full of magnetism.

"Hmm." The man responded.

Bai Lufeng let go of the man's wrist, "Bai is rude!" ”

"Follow me." The strange man led a few people around the corner, and finally stopped in front of a mansion in the south of the city, "A few please." ”

"This Fang family was originally the largest medicinal herb merchant in Dali, but after the plague broke out, the old man of the Fang family moved to the capital with the whole family, and this house was vacant. Because the family moved away, the officers and soldiers would not come to search. The man was familiar with the way and led the way.

"Thank you for Brother Tai's good intentions, I don't know Brother Tai's surname." Bai Lufeng clenched his hands into fists and asked.

This strange man is by no means an ordinary person, he is strong in martial arts, and he knows Dali City well, but he is not a local, but from the capital.

Only then did Wang Yizhu see the man's appearance clearly, his eyebrows were clear, with a little vicissitudes, and the clothes on his body were fine silk materials, like a rich son.

"Your surname is Zhang, and your single name is a Xiao character. He has a common goal with several heroes - to stop the spread of the plague and find the real culprit behind it. The man named Zhang Xiao smiled slightly.

"You're here to check on the plague too? Who sent you? What did you find? He Xiaotian sent out a series of questions.

"Zhang's family lives in the capital, has practiced medicine for generations, and recently traveled to this place, but unexpectedly found that the plague was rampant. After some investigation, it was found that there was something else behind it, and it was expected that someone must have poisoned the people. Zhang was worried about detoxification, but unexpectedly met a little girl who went up the mountain to collect medicine, and checked that it was the medicinal materials needed for detoxification. ”

Zhang Xiao looked at the house, "The Fang family has had business dealings with my Zhang family, and I have also been a guest of the Fang family, so I am very familiar with this house." ”

Although the Fang family's house has been uninhabited for a long time, fortunately, it has complete facilities, and it can be regarded as a good residence if it is cleaned. Although the old man of the Fang family is a businessman, he is familiar with poetry and books, and he is quite leisurely and elegant, and the layout of the house is also different from that of ordinary large families.

The house covers an area of dozens of acres, there are only three courtyards for living, two in the east, respectively named "Juyi Pavilion", "Xiaoxiang Pavilion", the name of the courtyard in the west is "Tingfeng Pavilion", there is a big artificial lake between the east and west courtyards, there are two rockeries in the lake, and willow trees are planted all over the lake.

Among the three courtyards, the "Tingfeng Pavilion" is the most distinctive, quiet and elegant, and the courtyard is hidden in the greenery at a glance. The courtyard is surrounded by banyan trees and osmanthus trees, which are lush and green. Zhang Xiao lives in the "Tingfeng Pavilion", and the other four live in the east courtyard.

After packing up, everyone went to bed early. In the middle of the night, Bai Lufeng and He Xiaotian went out to put the antidote as usual.
