Chapter 54: Shaded
Because of his weak heart, Master Sun suddenly made a move against the shopkeeper Zhang, who came back from the dead, which caught everyone off guard. In an exclamation, I saw the three cold lights flying towards the chest of the shopkeeper Zhang.
With a wave of her hand, a few small stones flew out and hit the three Hidden Arrows. Listening to the three "dong dong" sounds, the three hidden arrows were forced to change direction and insert them side by side in front of the feet of a gang. He screamed in fright, took several steps backwards, and finally sat on the ground.
Shopkeeper Zhang, who escaped death again, stretched out his trembling finger and pointed at Master Sun Helm, and said sadly: "You are so ruthless, until now, you still want to kill me and kill me" Before the words fell, he coughed violently in anger, and then rolled his eyes and fainted.
Zhong Ziyuan had just treated Zhang Gongzi's wound before he breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as she looked up and saw this scene, she exclaimed in surprise and wanted to stand up. Guo Chengsi stepped on the hem of her robe, and then shouted in a low voice: "It's none of your business, stay quiet." ”
Zhong Ziyuan was caught off guard, like a cat whose tail was grabbed, fluttering wildly on the ground. After finding that it had no effect, he raised his face and glared at him angrily. This is a bit funny, which makes Guo Chengsi want to laugh very much, but he has to continue to maintain his official authority on his face, and he has to endure it very hard.
The angry Pu Lao Er over there had already exchanged hands with Master Sun Helm, and although the rest of the gang was also eager to come forward to help, with Guo Chengsi and his guards staring at him, they still didn't dare after all.
Pu Lao Er is the personal disciple of the old helmsman, and he works hard all year round. In a rage, he is like a lion who has gone berserk. Lord Sun Helm has been pampered over the years, and of course he will not be his opponent. After a few rounds, he received a few hard blows to the chest. After spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, he was quickly knocked to the ground.
Pu Lao Er stepped on his chest, raised his fist with a vinegar bowl, and roared angrily: "Old helmsman, today I will avenge you." You traitor, take your life. Lord Sun's eyes widened in horror.
"Wait." Guo Chengsi, who had been silent, finally spoke up. Pu Lao Er ignored it, he was already carried away by anger. I just want to smash this ungrateful and sinister villain in front of me into powder. Master Sun Helm clearly saw the deep murderous intent in his eyes, and couldn't help but shout in horror: "Adults save me, adults save me." ”
Seeing that Pu Lao Er ignored Guo Chenghe. I only want the life of Lord Sun Helm. Duan Ling and Xue Ji shot together, one left and one right to frame him. Pu Lao Er couldn't move for an instant, but he still shouted frantically: "Let go of me, I'm going to kill him." Kill him, the vile villain. The surrounding gangs also roared in unison: "Kill him." Kill him," they approached step by step.
In the face of these countless pairs of angry eyes, Master Sun finally collapsed, he knelt down in front of Guo Chengsi and kowtowed again and again: "My lord, save me, you can't watch them kill me." ”
Guo Chengsi let go of the foot that stepped on the hem of Zhong Ziyuan's robe, glanced at Sun Duo coldly and condescendingly, and said arrogantly: "Who are you?" Why do you want this official to save you? He raised his voice and ordered Duan Ling, "Come back." Duan Ling and Xue Ji immediately loosened their grip on Pu Lao Er. Pu Lao Er was freed. Once again, his eyes breathed fire and approached Lord Sun Helm.
Lord Sun Helm glanced back, and was immediately frightened. He looked back. Kowtowed again and again: "My lord, I am your prisoner, I am your prisoner, you arrest me and go back to the prison of the Criminal Department." In his opinion, only by hiding in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment can he escape this catastrophe.
Guo Chengsi looked deeply interested and asked, "What crime have you committed?" ”
Lord Sun Duo's eyes rolled and said, "It is a felony for me to smuggle smuggled salt. ”
Guo Chengsi shook his head with some disappointment and said: "Although the crime of smuggling smuggled salt is serious, it is a pity that it is not under my control. ”
Pu Lao Er had already walked behind Sun Helm, and he stretched out his big fan-like hand and grabbed his back collar. He sneered: "Let's go back with me and light the sky lantern!" ”
Lord Sun Helm shouted in horror: "I killed someone, I killed someone, my lord, quickly arrest me and return me to the prison of the Criminal Department." ”
Guo Chengsi immediately asked, "Who did you kill?" ”
Sun Helmsman had completely collapsed, and he cried: "I killed the old helmsman, I killed the old helmsman." He finally opened his mouth to admit that he had killed the old helmsman, and Guo Chengsi, who had been tense and tight-skinned, showed a satisfied smile. Zhu Fei's bewitching face also showed a hint of mockery.
After Lord Sun Helm admitted it himself, he was paralyzed to the ground as if his backbone had been removed. The furious Pu Lao Er wanted to drag him, but asked Guo Chengsi to reach out and stop him. Pu Lao Er gritted his teeth and said: "Thank you for helping the Cao Gang expose this traitor, and ask the Lord to hand him over to the Cao Gang to deal with." ”
Guo Chengsi smiled slightly and said: "The second master's feelings can be understood by the official, but now that he has confessed to the official, he is the prisoner of the official, please forgive the official for not handing him over to you to deal with." Someone comes, sign and draw a charge for the prisoner. Immediately, someone took a confession full of words and put it in front of Lord Sun Helm. As if grasping the last straw that saved his life, he hurriedly signed his name and pressed his handprint, and then said with a blank eye: "My lord, quickly catch me and leave!" Pu Lao Er was so angry that he stared dryly, but he was helpless.
Zhong Ziyuan was freed from Guo Chenghe's demon feet, and quietly slipped in front of the shopkeeper Zhang, who was ignored and still in a coma. She reached out to probe his pulse, but found that it was calm and powerful, not like an angry heart. She said to herself in amazement, "How can this be? She wanted to open his eyelids again. Unexpectedly, as soon as her hand touched his eyelids, Shopkeeper Zhang, who was still unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes and winked at her secretly mischievously.
Zhong Ziyuan was startled at first, and immediately reacted, this person was pretending to be unconscious at all. She subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Guo Chengsi and Sun Duo who were not far away, and saw that Sun Duo was still kowtowing to the culprit who dug a death trap for him. She couldn't help but whisper, "What a deceived old fox who didn't pay for his life." ”
Guo Chengsi took the confession signed by Sun Duo, looked at it carefully, and then folded it satisfactorily and put it in his sleeve pocket. Then he ordered: "Take the prisoner back to the prison of the Criminal Department." ”
Immediately, a guard stepped forward to hold up Lord Sun Helm and dragged him out. The "shopkeeper Zhang", who was lying on the ground and pretending to be unconscious, immediately got up with a grunt. He patted the dirt off his body. In everyone's stunned eyes, he returned to Guo Chengsi's side and said with an aggrieved face: "Lord Shizi." Just now, the little one was almost scared to death. Next time there is such a thing, you should let Duan Ling go! His voice was young and brisk, and there was still the roughness, old age and sadness of the past.
The one with the tip of the ear immediately said in surprise: "He is not the shopkeeper of Zhang." ”
Pu Lao Er also looked at him suspiciously. Guo Chengsi smiled and didn't say anything, and saw the "shopkeeper Zhang" wiping his sleeves on his face a few times. The horrific scars on his face had fallen off, revealing the normal skin underneath. I heard him smile heartily: "Of course I'm not the shopkeeper Zhang, the shopkeeper Zhang has long been buried in the fire." ”
Lord Sun Helm happened to look back and see this scene. His blood-red eyes widened incredibly, and then roared angrily: "You actually dare to yin me, I don't accept it" His mouth was immediately gagged, and then dragged away like a dead dog.
Pu Lao Er gave up. "What the hell is going on?" Please also make it clear. ”
Guo Chengsi looked at Pu Laoer's puzzled eyes, and kindly explained: "Two days ago, Zhu Shizi did save the burned shopkeeper Zhang, but the shopkeeper Zhang died without saying anything because his injuries were too serious and he inhaled a lot of smoke. In fact, apart from these two burned account books, we really don't have any evidence to prove that Sun Helmsman is the murderer who killed the old helmsman. With nothing to do, the official can only let the little guy at home pretend to be the shopkeeper. When Sun Duo was in turmoil, he stood up to testify against him, coupled with the anger of the second master. accelerated his psychological breakdown, and he confessed his guilt so quickly. Otherwise, the official really has no way to take him. ”
In fact, Guo Chengsi still has a lot of details that have not been said, and Rong Xi does not look like the shopkeeper of Zhang, because Rongxi is shorter and thinner than the shopkeeper of Zhang. So he also deliberately arranged for people to mix in those gangs and call them out first, giving people a preconceived impression. Master Sun Duo was so easily fooled because he was dazed by the series of changes in front of him. On weekdays, with his shrewdness, he would have seen the flaws in it.
"But how did you know that this traitor was the murderer of the old helmsman?" Pu Lao Er still felt puzzled.
"I'm going to ask Miss Yukime about this." Guo Chengsi looked at Xue Ji, who was standing behind Zhu Fei and her eyes had turned red, and said with a smile.
"Miss Yukihime?" Pu Lao Er and everyone at the scene looked at her.
Xue Ji hesitated for a moment and looked at Zhu Fei. Zhu Fei nodded, and she walked out slowly, sobbing and said, "My father is the owner of the original Piaoxiang Building who was killed by a dog thief five years ago. The process of their cruelty to the old helmsman was overheard by the guy in the shop, and the guy was scared and told my father. Originally, my father and mother were timid and afraid of things, and they didn't dare to speak out, but secretly sent me and my younger brother to my grandfather's house in the countryside. But this dog thief and his accomplices not only secretly killed my father and mother and my friends, but also found my grandfather's house in the countryside and set a fire. There are seven people in the family! Only I escaped by hiding in the tank, and the rest were burned alive. At that time, the arrogant smiling faces of the eight of them standing in front of the fire had been engraved into my mind, and I had never forgotten them in the past five years. ”
"I see." Pu Lao Er nodded knowingly. He hugged Guo Chengsi and said in a rough voice: "No matter what, the adults are the great benefactors of my Cao Gang, if there is a place for our Cao Gang in the future, just say a word, and the Cao Gang will definitely swear to the death." For now, I have to inform the other leaders of the Cao Gang about this matter and leave here. ”
Guo Chengsi knew that although Sun Helm Master was arrested, after all, he had been the helmsman for so many years, and he had also cultivated a lot of henchmen in the gang, but I was afraid that these henchmen still occupied a very important position in the Cao Gang. Pu Lao Er is in a hurry to go back and clean up the portal. It seems that there will be another bloody storm in Chang'an City. He smiled and stepped aside, quietly watching the Cao Gang disciples rush away.
Pu Lao Er strode forward, and the middle-aged man who pointed out the suspicion of the water bandit before said angrily: "Second master, is it just that the dog thief killed our old helmsman?" ”
"Forget it?" Pu Lao Er smiled coldly, his eyes were full of sarcasm: "He thought it would be okay to hide in the prison of the Criminal Department, I, don't forget that there are brothers from our Cao Gang in the prison of the Criminal Department." I will make the thief worse than dead, so that I can relieve the hatred in my heart. ”
Guo Chengsi squinted his eyes, looked at the two sneaky backs mixed in the crowd, coughed lightly, and said, "Doctor Jia, didn't you say that you want to invite this official to have supper!" How to go. ”
Zhong Ziyuan stiffened, so he had to stand on his feet and muttered secretly: "Old fox, your eyes are really sharp." She hesitated for a while, turned around, and said with a flattering smile on her face: "My lord is busy with official business, so I won't delay!" ”
Guo Chengsi raised his eyebrows, revealing an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said: "It's okay, it just happens that this official is a little hungry in his belly, so he will give you this rare opportunity." ”
Zhong Ziyuan's shoulders collapsed, and he muttered in a frustrated whisper: "I'm just talking casually, who knew you would take it seriously!" In fact, she was frightened by Guo Chenghe's conspiracy tonight, and the endless means of yang conspiracy, so she subconsciously wanted to stay away.
Guo Chengsi frowned slightly and said, "Don't come yet, what are you muttering?" ”
Zhong Ziyuan immediately trotted to his side, and said with a doggy face: "I'm just thinking about changing what I should invite adults to eat, so as not to insult the identity of adults." ”
Guo Chengsi hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, rubbed her head again, and said, "Don't think about it so much, supper!" Just eat whatever you want. The official looked at the roast suckling pig in Piaoxianglou and a good taste of swiftlet, so let's go there and eat it! ”
"What?" Zhong Ziyuan instantly raised his voice.
Of course, the crispy suckling pig in Piaoxianglou is good, I heard that those suckling pigs were born to drink milk and eat rare medicinal herbs to grow up, so the meat is delicious and has a nourishing function. And Piaoxianglou only roasts five a day, if all five are sold, even if you have money, you won't be able to eat it. To make it so expensive, it is naturally not expensive to sell two hundred taels of silver per suckling pig.
There is also that kind of swiftlet, I heard that the goods are genuine, and a thick scoop is poured on those diced fruits, and it will be sold for ten taels of silver. Zhong Ziyuan unconsciously hugged the medicine box in his hand, and secretly wailed in his heart. It seems that the silver won tonight is about to fly before it has time to heat up.
Her face was distressed and entangled, and Guo Chengsi had already seen it all in her eyes. He raised his eyebrows, raised his voice and said, "What, Doctor Jia has an opinion?" ”
Zhong Ziyuan blinked his eyes, and immediately bent into a flattering arc. With a smile that was too bright, she said happily, "It's my honor that my lord is willing to appreciate the light." I'm just thinking that the roast suckling pig in the Piaoxiang Building must not be sold out, and I can't sweep away the interest of adults. ”
If it weren't for the fact that the hand she was holding the medicine box was too hard, and the back of her hand was bursting with green tendons, Guo Chengsi would almost really believe her words. However, because he was in a very good mood, the corners of his mouth curled, and he pretended not to see it very generously.
"I'm feeling a little hungry too, can I go for a supper with the two of you?" Suddenly, there was a soft voice next to him, Guo Chengsi and Zhong Ziyuan turned around in unison, and saw Zhu Fei walking lazily towards them with a smile that was not worth his life.
Zhong Ziyuan has never seen such a handsome and gorgeous man, even Prince Rui and Guo Chengsi have been compared. Beautiful things are always so pleasing to the eye. She looked at him stunned, and the corners of her mouth almost drooled. Zhu Fei was not angry, but just covered his mouth and chuckled. Then he narrowed his eyes, threw a flattering look at her lightly, and said coquettishly: "Doctor Jia, I don't eat much, take me with you!" ”
Zhong Ziyuan felt a crisp all over her body, and even her heart seemed to melt. She nodded busily and said, "Let's go, let's go together, even if you eat a lot, I can afford it." The medicine box she had been holding tightly was loosened.
Looking at Zhong Ziyuan and Zhu Fei's obsessive look, Guo Chengsi suddenly felt a little dazzling, and even his mood didn't seem to be as happy as before. "Let's go." He let out a deep sigh and strode out.
Zhong Ziyuan didn't know why he suddenly changed his face, so he had to secretly stick out his tongue at Zhu Fei, and then obediently followed. (To be continued......)
