This summer and Yang Yue glanced at each other, and they were all strange in their hearts, obviously Shangguan Xi went to see Lu Yi early in the morning, how could he say that he hadn't come back yet.

Could it be that she deliberately hid this from Xie Xiao? Naturally, they don't break down the matter between the two of them. Yang Yue said: "Brother Xie, I have something to ask for, I don't know if Brother Xie can help." We are now looking for a girl's residence, but we know that the road is not far from the water's edge, and there are many people in the Wu'an Gang, I wonder if you can inquire for me? ”

"This little thing, you still use a begging word, and you also look down on me. Who's you're looking for, you say? ”

"Her surname is Zhai, her name is Lan Ye, and she is the adopted daughter of Zhai Zhong Zhai, and it is said that this Zhai Yuanwai is also the brother-in-law of the Yangzhou prefect."

When Xie Xiao heard this, he made a big move, and called a young young student who sold fish from the side, and asked him like this. The young poster replied with a smile: "His family loves to drink fresh fish soup, and the old beard will send fish to his house the next day." I used to live on Fengqiao Street, but recently I somehow had to move to Guanqian and Back Street, which saved Lao Hu a lot of things. ”

"Where do you see the front and back streets?"

"There is a big locust tree next to the back corner door of his house, and there is a land temple next to it."

Xie Xiao grew up running crazy in Yangzhou City since he was a child, and when he heard him say this, he immediately understood, untied the cable at the moment, and said to Yang Yue this summer: "You come up, I'll take you there!" ”

Walking along the waterway, turning left and right, until you reach a bridgehead, Xie Xiao pointed out: "You just have to walk forward and see the Land Temple." I'll just wait here, and when we're done, we'll have a drink! ”

This summer was about to go ashore, and when he saw Yang Yue cautiously afraid of touching the millet cake, he simply called him and handed over the wooden box containing spices: "Da Yang, you go, I'll talk to Brother Xie." ”

Yang Yue was stunned.

"You, don't worry, we're waiting for you here." This summer laughed. Since it is to send objects for Lu Yi, presumably Zhai Lanye will see it in person, but I am afraid that he will have to ask a few more words, so that Yang Yue can go alone and talk to her, and relieve his lovesickness to some extent.

Yang Yue took the wooden box, scratched his head and smiled, turned around and left.

Xie Xiao tied the rope, leaned into the boat, and said strangely: "Aren't you here to investigate the case?" Is this girl suspicious? ”

The details of the inside are not good to him, and this summer only said: "This Zhai girl was born very well, Lord Lu saw her on the boat this morning, and I will never forget it after I go back. ”

"Lu Yi......" Xie Xiao snorted coldly, "I can't see that his virtue is still a person in the wind and moon." ”

"That's it."

This summer is grinning and pandering.

"You're pretty happy to be a dog, huh?" Xie Xiao squinted at her.

"Brother, people are in the rivers and lakes, and I can't help myself......" I wasn't annoyed this summer, and thought about it seriously, "No, I should be in Cao Ying's heart in Han." ”

Xie Xiao shook his head with a smile and asked her, "That night, how did you know that Lu Dao was me?" ”

"I not only know that it is you, but also that it is Sister Shangguan who uses the thunderbolt bomb of Lei Ming." Jinxia approached him and said in a low voice, "I said brother, you are too careless, you want to get in after changing your skin, although those brocade guards are not good things, they are not mixed food." ”

"Alright, alright...... I can't help and talk coolly. ”

"Don't worry, Lord Lu is very busy now, he can't care about your brother at all, and the people from the Prosecution Department are rushing to slap him, and he will definitely not dare to lynch him, and it is inevitable that your brother will be taken seriously. He's going to be in jail and he'll be fine. ”

Listening to what she said was reasonable, Xie Xiao was a little relieved.

"I'm also quietly listening for you, if you're planning to transfer him to the capital......" Jinxia glanced at him and said slowly, "It's always better to do things on the road." ”

Xie Xiao was silent and snorted twice.

This summer, her hands and feet couldn't be idle, and she tossed the boat vigorously while talking, this kind of rocking boat is less in the north and more in the south of the Yangtze River, and she hasn't seen it much, she only knows how to pull and push around, making the boat rock left and right.

Knowing that she was fresh, Xie Xiao swayed around with the hull of the boat, and he was not annoyed, and let her play naughtily.

While the two were gossiping, a rowboat rowed from the other side of the bridge at a rapid pace, and the splash of water made a loud splash.

"Young helper! Something happened! ”

Xie Xiaoteng stood up and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"More than a dozen brothers ran into the Orientals in Hejiazhuang, and those people were so arrogant that they beat them without saying a word, killing and wounding several brothers, and the rest of them were no match for them, and they barely escaped with their lives after entering the reeds."

"Oriental!"

This summer was taken aback, and immediately remembered that he had heard Yang Yue mention that there were people who were injured by the Orientals in the medical hall who came for treatment, and the government had not yet arrested them.

"Get off the boat, and I must go and see the brethren." Xie Xiao said to her, "I'll look for you again when I'm free." ”

"I'll go with you." Out of the instinct to catch fast, I want to see which ones are so rampant this summer.

Xie Xiao only hesitated for a moment, then nodded happily and said, "You sit tight!" ”

The rowing boat went quickly along the waterway, went around Yangzhou City, shot into the big lake like an arrow, and sailed towards the southwest, and after a short time you could see a large area of reeds swinging, and two small boats got into it like fish. The reeds of the two of them swayed gently around, and the boat turned left and right, and at first this summer could barely remember the path, but after three bends and five turns, they were completely confused, and each bend looked exactly the same, and there was really no difference.

"Don't waste it," Xie Xiao saw that she wanted to remember the path, "Without me to lead you, you can only hit the wall when you come in." ”

This summer sighed: "When I read "Zhongyi Water Margin", there is also such a large area of reeds in Shijie Village, and the three Ruan brothers haunt it......"

"That book is written and biography for a group of strongmen, you are an official, how can you read it?"

"It's not*, why can't you see it."

"Also, now that the court is rampant, I dare to grab it outside Beijing, if you are forced to fall to the grass one day, I will not see it new." As Xie Xiao spoke, he swung his way and swung to the left, and the surroundings suddenly opened up.

The boat gathered here, and Shangguan Xi stood in it in a blue Luo shirt, staring at his subordinates and listening to the affairs of his subordinates, which was particularly eye-catching. Almost at the same time as she saw her this summer, she also saw them, as if she didn't expect Xie Xiao and this summer to be together, and her expression was slightly stunned.

"Less helper, less helper......" The surrounding gangs called one after another.

Xie Xiao took a big stride, jumped over on the board, and walked all the way to Shangguan Xi's side.

"Young Gang Master," Shangguan Xi looked at Jin Xia who came over,...... Miss Yuan. ”

This summer bowed to her: "Please forgive my sister for taking the liberty of hearing that something happened here and it was related to the Orientals, so I came over to take a look." ”

"That's a big deal."

"Sister," Xie Xiao asked Shangguan Xi, "How many brothers have been injured?" ”

"Six seriously injured, three lightly injured," Shangguan Xi took a deep breath, "Four brothers died." ”

Xie Xiao was silent for a moment, and then said, "Take me to see...... By the way, the old man's side, let's hide it first. ”

Several of the wounded brothers had already been taken to the infirmary, and Shangguan Xi took them to the shore where the bodies were placed. In the gloomy room, there were four corpses, all covered with white cloths.

"Can I take a look?" Although this summer is an official errand, this place is the territory of the Wu'an Gang after all, and there are still some etiquettes to be talked about.

Shangguan Xi glanced at Xie Xiao and saw that he did not object, so he stepped forward to uncover the white cloth covered by the corpse.

This summer, he first reached out and pressed the skin of the recently deceased, which was still elastic, and it was less than half an hour after death, and then examined the wounds on his body. There were more than a dozen wounds on his body, and the fatal wound was a knife in the chest, from the top right to the bottom left, and the knife was quite deep; More than a dozen other wounds were on the shoulder blades, abdomen and thighs, and four other wounds were blackened......

Xie Xiao has not been in the gang for several years, and he is not familiar with these four deceased, so he lowered his head and asked Shangguan Xi, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the blackened wound approaching this summer and stretched out his hand to play with it, and hurriedly leaned out and stretched out his arm to pull her away, shouting: "Beware, it's poisonous!" ”

The voice was so loud and so strong that Shangguan Xi who was nearby was shocked.

"I said, brother, don't be surprised." This summer was helpless, and showed him his hand, "Isn't it the first day that I'm a fast catcher, and I don't even understand this." ”

At this moment, seeing that she still had a small silver skewer in her hand, Xie Xiao shook off her hand, and still said: "Be careful if you have a skewer, if you want to die here, it will cause us a lot of trouble." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll die and crawl back to die."

This summer responded nonchalantly, and turned to check on the other deceased.

Shangguan Xi saw that the two of them didn't hide it and didn't talk about it at all, and said, "Fourth, Miss Yuan is a guest, how can you talk to her like this." ”

Xie Xiao said: "She doesn't have those taboos, sister, you don't have to meet her." ”

After a while, this summer put away the silver skewers, frowned and asked Shangguan Xi, "How many Orientals have they met?" ”

"The brothers who came back from injury said that they were fighting four Orientals, and that when they met at the Hejiazhuang ferry, they could see from a distance that there were also Orientals in the village, and it was estimated that there were at least dozens of them."

"There are still in the village!" This summer was shocked, "Have you ever reported to the official?" ”

"Fang has already sent someone to report to the official."

This summer breathed a sigh of relief, and then he still frowned: "These Orientals are quite fierce, I'm afraid...... How to get to Hejiazhuang? Not far from here? ”

"They're not easy to mess with, so don't go and join in the fun." Xie Xiao frowned and said, "Let's go, I'll send you back to the front and back streets first." The official service of Yangzhou territory is not dead, what do you want this foreign monk to recite. ”

"I'm just going to take a look, you see that these wounds are all wounded by small hidden weapons, and the hidden weapons are quenched with poison, which will not kill people immediately, but will make people slow down. You see these dozen or so knife cuts, they are simply playing tricks on him, and it was not until the last knife that he took his life, which shows that he had no room to fight back at that time, and could only let the mermaid flesh. Among this group of Orientals, the one who uses the secret weapon is the most deadly. I haven't seen this poison before...... Sister Shangguan, are there any of the injured brothers who have been poisoned? ”

Shangguan Xi nodded: "Yes, the doctor is not familiar with this poison, although he boils the antidote decoction, he is not sure." Fortunately, it is not fatal, and you can try it slowly. ”

After hearing this, Xie Xiao's eyes slowly patrolled over the corpse, and after a while, he said: "Lao Tzu abolished him, go!" ”

"Fourth, you can't go!"

Shangguan Xi hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

"Brother, I'm an official, I can't do anything, in the final analysis, it's a matter of duty, so don't come to join in the fun." I don't want him to go this summer.

Xie Xiao's eyes widened, and he waved his hand: "Lao Tzu can't let these brothers die in vain." ”

"The current situation is unknown, how many Orientals don't know the way, if you want to seek revenge, then let's not go." This summer also stopped him, "I just went to see, but I didn't plan to fight hard." ”

"Lao Tzu is also going to have a look." Xie Xiao glared at her.

This summer shook his fingers and made an appointment with him in three chapters: "Then say it first, you are not allowed to do it, you can only follow me, whoever does it is a leper dog." ”

"How old are you, leper dog...... You'll have to follow me. ”

Xie Xiao muttered, but finally didn't object, pulled her out, untied a boat and jumped on. Shangguan Xi couldn't persuade him, so he had to follow the boat. The young student who had been on the boat in the morning and this summer had been silently squatting outside the door and waiting, and at this time he also silently followed the boat.

"Sister?" Xie Xiao was stunned.

Shangguan Xi didn't look at him either, and only instructed the junior: "Ah Rui, go around the west waterway to Jiuli Pavilion and go ashore." ”

"Nine Mile Pavilion?"

"It's only half a mile from Jiuliting to Hejiazhuang, and there are large mulberry forests to hide." Shangguan Xi explained.

Before Xie Xiao could speak, he heard this summer's approval: "It's still Sister Shangguan's thoughtfulness." ”

As he spoke, the descendant named Ah Rui had already swung the boat away, through the reeds, and sailed covertly all the way to the Jiuli Pavilion.
