Chapter 135: Cangzhou
Eventually, the guards found some undissolved powder in the kitchen water tank, and tried it with a silver needle, and it was really poisonous. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wei Ping realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately went to tell Gu Chengyu.
After getting the news, Gu Chengyu and Dong Linzhi were completely sleepy, and immediately changed their clothes and came out.
Zhou Guan was interrogating Ma Fugui: "Say, in addition to poisoning the water, what else have you done?" ”
Ma Fugui knew that he was really planted this time, whether they handed him over to the government or directly ended up with him, he would not escape death.
Shrouded in the fear of death, his whole body trembled like chaff, stumbling, and he could not finish a word.
"Forget it, lock people up first, and hand them over to the government office for slow trial tomorrow." Gu Chengyu said, and then explained carefully to Wei Ping.
The two guards dragged Ma Fugui to the cowshed where the robbers were being held.
Dong Linzhi saw Li Guan wrapped in a cloak and leaning on Hewang's body, his eyes were almost unable to hold on, and said with a smile: "Go to sleep, we will handle the affairs outside." ”
Li Wan yawned, squinted and nodded.
As soon as I entered the house, there was another commotion outside.
"Miss, you go to sleep first, I'll go see what's going on." He looked at the road and ordered Chu Fang and Xun Fang to serve Li Guan and rest.
The three of them had already woken up, but it was freezing and they were cloaked, so they didn't go out, but leaned on the window to watch the excitement.
As soon as Li Wan got into bed, Ibis asked curiously, "What's going on outside?" Burglar? ”
"Well, catch a thief, when Hewang comes back, you can ask her......" Li Wan fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow, and he barely managed to cope with her and fell asleep.
Seeing this, the ibis stopped arguing with her, wrapped in the quilt and lay on the bed waiting for the crane to come back.
After about a quarter of an hour, Tsuruwang returned.
"What the hell is going on, tell me quickly." The ibis looked at her curiously.
He Wang looked at Li Wan first and made sure that she was already asleep, so he whispered: "It turns out that those robbers didn't happen to meet us, but they got the news and deliberately ambushed there, waiting for us to send them to the door!" ”
"Message? Where did they get the news? ”
"Whoever can't get along with us, they get the news from whom."
Ibis thought for a while and said in surprise: "It can't be the county of Qingxian County, right?" ”
Crane Wang nodded: "It's him." Not only that, but after those robbers failed, he thought that he had been confessed, so he simply did not stop doing it, trying to poison us and those robbers to death...... Fortunately, Uncle Zhou found out in time, otherwise we might all be poisoned and die tomorrow. ”
The ibis was dumbfounded when he heard it, and only sighed after a while: "He is a small Bapin County Cheng, and he is so bold!" ”
"So it's conceivable why his nephew is so arrogant." Crane Wang sneered.
Li Wan woke up in the morning and found out what happened later.
She was grooming and listening to the ibis talk about the scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping after Ma Fugui and the bearded man met, so she heard Zhou Guan say outside the door: "Miss, that Ma Fugui is dead." ”
He's dead?
Could it be that the guards tortured Ma Fugui?
She immediately asked, "How did you die?" ”
"I was strangled by that beard. After we locked Ma Fugui in the cowshed last night, Hu Fei immediately recognized him, knowing that he had poisoned the water and wanted to poison everyone, he said something 'Grandpa is righteous first, I didn't confess you, you are so shameless, you want to kill grandpa', and scolded Ma Fugui. As a result, the guards found that Ma Fugui was dead this morning, and when they asked, the bearded man did not shirk it, admitting that he strangled Ma Fugui to death in the middle of the night with a rope that bound his hands. ”
Li Guan and the others were very impressed when they heard it.
Is this a fulfillment of the old saying, the wicked have their own wicked grinding?
The guards used silver needles to try everything that could be swallowed, and after confirming that it was non-toxic, everyone ate breakfast with peace of mind.
Because of the poisoning and the death of another person, Gu Chengyu asked Wei Ping to give the master's family some more silver as compensation.
The host's family has been terrified since last night, and they are trembling to accept the money and rush to see them off.
The journey was safe, and they arrived at Cangzhou City before noon.
Entering from the tall and majestic city gate, there are rows of restaurants and shops along the street, and the pedestrians on the street are weaving, and you can see a prosperous scene.
Considering safety considerations, they chose the most famous Hongtai Inn in the city to settle down.
Cangzhou is not as good as Qingxian, and there are many people who come and go for business tours, so they can only share a separate courtyard with other guests. However, there were few people on the other side, so they were able to cover most of the courtyard, which was barely enough.
After settling down, Wei Ping and Zhou Guan first sent the robbers and Ma Fugui's body to the Cangzhou Mansion.
Dong Linzhi happily invited Li Guan to the street, saying that he wanted to take her to see the famous jugglers in Cangzhou.
The name of Wuqiao acrobatics, Li Guan has heard of it for a long time.
Not only acrobatics, Cangzhou is also known as the hometown of martial arts, and the people are fierce. There is a saying called "dart does not shout Cangzhou", which means that the dart car from south to north, as long as you enter Cangzhou, you must tear off the dart flag and pass quietly, otherwise no matter how famous you are, how good you are, dare to shout darts in Cangzhou, you will definitely make a big heel and lose face.
Li Wan wanted to see and learn, so he readily agreed, called Gu Chengyu, Ibis Yu, Shi Yue and others, and went to the street together.
The market was bustling with people.
Li Wan paid attention to the clothing and demeanor of the pedestrians, and wondered if there was a reason for her preconceived ideas, she felt that the people of Cangzhou City did look different from other places, and they were very difficult to mess with.
However, after walking two streets in a row, I didn't see any fights or brawls, whether it was a vendor soliciting customers or a pedestrian passing by, most of them were smiling and friendly.
Li Guan couldn't help laughing, feeling that he was thinking too much.
Speaking of juggling, they really met, and the street corner in front of them was surrounded by people on three floors and three floors, cheering one after another.
"Acrobatics must have been! Let's go! Dong Linzhi said excitedly, took Li Guan's hand and rushed over.
Gu Chengyu was originally telling Li Guan about a martial arts move during the reign of the first emperor, and the champion, Bangyan, and Tanhua were all from Cangzhou, which caused a lot of sensation, but Li Guan was pulled away by Dong Linzhi.
"That's how the third master said that the wind is the rain, Gu Gongzi, you have a lot of Haihan." Tsuruwang said apologetically.
Gu Chengyu struggled to maintain the smile on his face and nodded at her.
Hewang hurriedly chased after Li Guan and the others.
"Let's hurry up and find a good position!" Ibis Yu took Shi Yue in his arms and followed with a smile.
Gu Chengyu was left alone, and he fell in the end neither fast nor slowly.
Qinglu couldn't help but say: "Childe, the little one thinks that Dong Sanye is deliberately targeting you." He saw that Miss Li was only concerned about talking to you, and he was jealous in his heart, so he deliberately made trouble! (To be continued.) )
