Chapter 26 The Chain of Interests
"Bastard, who did this?" ”
Li Yingdong, whose face was full of red light, came back and saw the coffin in the wine shop, and slammed the column with his fist.
The neighbors came over and told me what had happened. Li Yingdong snorted angrily, asked the owner of the horse village and the twins to stay behind to protect Miao Ruolan's two daughters, and led the other three slaves straight to the bandits' lair.
The bandits' lair was on the nearby dirt mountain, the four of them came to the dirt hill and hurried along the path up the mountain, and when they reached the halfway up the mountain, they saw a cottage, a fence tied of broken wood as a gate, and on both sides was a wall made of adobe rubble, which was extremely simple, and the buildings inside were in disrepair and crumbling, and these bandits were not afraid of falling asleep and falling into hell one day.
There were no bandits guarding the door at the door of the cottage, Lingqing Daoist found a few feet behind the door, and flew over to see that it was a few dead corpses, all of which were sealed with a knife, and said: "A knife to seal the throat, the deceased did not resist, obviously the knife is very fast, this person's martial arts are extremely high, I don't know if it is an enemy or a friend, the master, please be careful." ”
Li Yingdong nodded, and secretly took out the attack and defense card, and if the two slaves were not defeated, they would launch the attack and defense card.
The four of them cautiously walked into the cottage, the more they went inside, the more dead bodies there were, all of them sealed their throats with a knife, turned the front hall to the backyard, and saw that the door of the backyard hall was wide open, and one person was threatening the two with a knife against them.
"Huh! It's Hu Daxia, I should have thought that such a great sword technique can only be made by the Snow Mountain Flying Fox. ”
Daoist Lingqing suddenly realized that he couldn't help but admire.
Li Yingdong also recognized that the person holding the knife was Hu Fei, and shouted as he walked: "Hu Fei, how did you get here?" ”
When he arrived at the door while speaking, Hu Fei clicked on the big holes of the two bandits, and then turned around and said: "There is a crisis of confidence in the huàn golden ticket, I went to Yangzhou to find someone to help, but unfortunately I got nothing...... I overheard two groups of people talking to threaten a family to draft a girl or something, and there was a delay at the time, and then I went to rescue but found that the family was dead, and I was annoyed but went up the mountain to kill these dog thieves. How did Childe get to Yangzhou? ”
A few days ago, after Li Yingdong's repeated preaching, he finally changed the title of Mr. to Gongzi.
Li Yingdong explained the wrong way, and said that the food and accommodation were at Dou's house, Hu Fei was surprised, it was really a coincidence. As for the crisis of confidence, I can't think of a good way for a while, so I can only talk about it later.
Hu Fei was just now asking who the other group of people the bandits were talking to, and after Li Yingdong found out, he slapped the two bandits more than a dozen times in succession, and said: "This is for the Dou family, remember that this is just interest, now sue me who killed the Dou family and his wife?" And who of you is Zou Laohu? ”
One of the two bandits had a thief's eyebrows, and the other had tiger stripes on his face, and the thief's eyebrows and rat eyes shouted: "I didn't kill anyone, and I'm not Zou Laohu." ”
Li Yingdong glared at his tiger-striped face: "So you are Zou Laohu, the Dou family couple you killed." ”
The tiger stripe face seemed to have been stimulated before, and he was stunned and had no reaction, Li Yingdong took out the token and opened it directly, and the tiger striped face returned to his soul a few times, and happily admitted the fact of killing, but pointed out that this was manslaughter, and he was not the mastermind, although he hung the name of Zou Laohu, he was not Zou Laohu. The thief's eyebrows and rat's eyes are Zou Laohu.
Li Yingdong turned around and sneered, secretly launched the attack and defense card, and suddenly turned around and slapped a move "electric shine" on the tiger stripe face Tianling cover, with a click, his brain burst, and at the same time, Hu Fei inserted a knife into the heart, and the two shot almost at the same time, ordinary people really don't have this treatment.
"Sentence Zou Laohu."
Li Yingdong ordered to go down, Jiang Lao Boxer and several people are martial arts masters, experts in internal strength, they know how to make people hurt more, and they take turns to practice the criminal law, and Zou Laohu, who is in pain, begged for mercy again and again, but he also knows that it is impossible to let him go, and he explains things in detail and understands, just to die quickly.
It turned out that the person who was secretly spying with Zou Laohu's gang of bandits was Wang Rulong, a salt merchant, Wang Rulong needed a beautiful woman to make friends with the powerful, the powerful had undoubtedly seen a lot of beauties, and the idle beauties were just to bring humiliation, so the extremely beautiful cardamom became his target, so Zou Laohu and others went to make trouble and take the opportunity to save people and be good people. It is said that he can't help with revenge, and by the way, he mentions that the powerful have this ability, and Cardamom will naturally take the bait. This is also the reason why Zou Laohu asked his subordinates to pretend to be themselves, at the beginning, he planned to replace the dead ghost, but unfortunately the mechanism was exhausted, and in the end he ended up dead.
"Old Jiang, get the ladder ready."
Knowing that Cardamom was deceived, Li Yingdong decided to take the slave and Hu Fei to Wang Rulong's mansion. Hu Fei was afraid that Cardamom would not believe that they also wore a tiger-striped face head, and by the way, he set fire to the cottage.
It was evening, and by the time they came to the gates, it was already dark, and the gates were already closed.
Li Yingdong held the Ouchi token and asked the Lingqing Daoist to shout to the officers and soldiers on the city tower, and when the officers and soldiers in the city heard it, they showed their heads, and it turned out to be the two officials. smiled and said: "It's you again, why did you go to the city gate on an errand?" ”
The two officials showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, and it was not because of your appearance that we would have this encounter, and the chief official said: "Lord Futai feels that the task of the city gate is heavy, so he sent the two of us over, are you going to enter the city?" ”
"Well, open the door, don't delay me."
When the official heard this, he hurriedly opened the city gate and let him go, if the matter of the Ouchi guards was delayed, I am afraid that they would not even be able to watch the door, and the guys who ate might not be able to protect themselves.
Li Yingdong came to find someone to inquire about Wang Rulong's mansion, so soon after entering the city, he came to the back door of the mansion, Hu Fei and Lingqing Daoist went in to eliminate the patrolling people and dogs, and then Lingqing Daoist poked his head out of the wall and whispered: "Master, it's all solved, come up." ”
Li Yingdong was in an ok posture, and he didn't care whether Lingqing Daoist understood it or not, seeing that there was no one around, he threw out the card casually, and the card instantly became Jiang Lao Boxer, who was holding a ladder, and he had found that the things held by the slave could also be sealed into the card, and now he is using it.
Old Boxer Jiang leaned the ladder against the wall, Li Yingdong climbed up the wall, and at the same time, Daoist Lingqing took the ladder into the wall, he landed easily along the ladder, and waited for Old Boxer Jiang to come over and take it back.
The four of them didn't know where Cardamom was, and the people who asked the patrol didn't know, so they had to try their luck everywhere, because Li Yingdong didn't know how to work lightly, the search progress was slow, and they didn't want him to waste time so that Wang Rulong's conspiracy succeeded, and Cardamom's innocence was damaged, so they let the Variety Beggar, Lingqing Daoist and Hu Fei look for it separately.
He found a hidden place, thought about it and released Old Boxer Jiang out, and said, "You go around here to see if you can find Cardamom." ”
Old Boxer Jiang was not worried that he was left alone, but he couldn't refute his master's order, looked around, pointed to it and said, "Master, it's more hidden above, it's better to go up there." ”
Li Yingdong nodded in agreement, there is a two-story attic above, climb up the ladder, there is a skylight next to it, and no one should live in the black hole in the house. Sit down and lean against the skylight, because the black clothes you wear are not afraid of being seen. Looking from afar, I found that the lights ahead were bright.
He didn't know that Cardamom was in the brightly lit place, and in the brightly lit hall, there were about twenty people sitting around a banquet in the center, headed by an official uniform, with a handsome face, next to Wang Rulong, and the rest were salt merchants.
Cardamom dressed in red, like a bride to be married, walked into the hall, Wang Rulong introduced to the head official: "This is my sister-in-law Cardamom, I have heard the good name of Lord Shangshu for a long time, and I want to have a glass of wine with adults." ”
Cardamom walked up to the head of the official with an outstanding demeanor, raised his wine glass, and said with a smile: "And the adult, the little woman toasts you with a glass of water and wine." ”
This and the adult is naturally the new Heshen who became the head of the household department, and it is the result of the game between Qianlong and that force that he can become the head of the household department. At first glance, when I saw cardamom, this demeanor, this beauty, even if I had seen a lot of beauties and beauties, He Shen was a little distracted, and I drank it without thinking about it.
Cardamom smiled slightly and Fu Fu retreated, He Shen was stunned, looked at Wang Rulong, Wang Rulong leaned close to his ear and said a few words, He Shen nodded with satisfaction, and soon left for lack of excuses and went to the backyard.
As soon as He Shen left, all the salt merchants congratulated Wang Rulong, they were not blind, they knew that Cardamom was in the eyes of Lord Shangshu, and Wang Rulong, the righteous brother, would be able to soar in the future.
Wang Rulong smiled politely, and a housekeeper came over to make a look, and came out with the housekeeper to confess, and the housekeeper said: "Master Qin has something important to find you." In the front corner. ”
Wang Rulong hurriedly walked over, and saw Master Qin walking around the corner, his anxious expression was overflowing, and when he saw him coming, he greeted him and said, "You are here, I have something urgent to tell you, and I have to rush back to Cuiyan Pavilion after speaking......"
Wang Rulong interjected: "I heard that Lord Futai invited the governor Lord Wang to a banquet today, is there anything unfavorable to the salt merchants?" ”
"No, it's an ordinary banquet, His Majesty is coming to Yangzhou in a few days, and the governor of Zhejiang, Lord Wang, wants to face the saint and come a few days earlier...... Oops, what are you talking about? ”
Master Qin explained, suddenly remembered the topic, and hurriedly told Li Yingdong about coming to the yamen to support the cardamom family, and asked, "You didn't do anything about the cardamom, did you?" ”
"I just went to find Cardamom with my lord, what Zou Laohu did won't implicate us, right?"
Master Qin is responsible for finding people, Zou Laohu is responsible for doing things, and Wang Rulong is responsible for giving money and buying women's hearts, this is not the first time they have done this kind of thing, this is a complete chain of interests.
"I only know that the cottage is blazing, you go and stop the adult, change to a beautiful woman, or anything, you must not let Cardamom damage your innocence, otherwise neither the Ouchi guards nor the adults will let you go."
"I, I'll go right away."
Wang Rulong ran frantically to the backyard......
