Chapter 601: Murder

Looking at the fascinated expressions of the two, Lu Xiaoxian's goal was achieved, and he said to Yang Ke with a smile: "These two sons will come to you to learn to make rouge incense powder in their spare time, please teach them with your heart!"

Yang Ke was stunned, I don't know what Lu Xiaoxian means?

Lu Xiaoxian hurriedly squeezed his eyebrows at Yang Ke and signaled him to agree first.

Yang Ke had to nod: "Thanks to the two sons, I should do my best!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian looked at Li Zhiying and Li Nunu: "How is it?" Brother Yang agreed to teach you, and the two of you will also say something! ”

Li Nunu knew Lu Xiaoxian's thoughts, and was about to agree first, and then try to persuade Li Zhiying.

Before Li Nunu could speak, Li Zhiying couldn't wait to say: "No problem, Brother Yang, I will study hard!" ”

Li Nunu looked at Li Zhiying in surprise, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: Yingying, you can be regarded as falling for Lu Xiaoxian's plan.

Leaving Li Zhiying and Li Nunu in Xishi, Lu Xiaoxian left.

At this moment, he was in a very good mood, and he finally got rid of Li Chiying's big trouble, and it was not in vain that he spent so much effort on his own.

When he arrived at the door of the gambling house, Lu Xiaoxian did not go in.

Seeing that it was still early, he had a whim: it is better to go to Wannian County to visit Jiwen.

Wannian County is in Xuanyangfang, which is only one street away from Yiyangfang, where the gambling house is located.

Coming to the Yamen of Wannian County, Lu Xiaoxian looked at the magnificent Yamen.

The gate of the yamen is very spacious, a wall is placed in front of the door, the first half of the east tip is placed in the first half of the "shouting injustice drum", it is specially used for the common people to beat the drum and voice the injustice, and the east and west streets are respectively built with the wind viewing building and the music building.

It is said that Princess Taiping got married that year, and the wedding was set in the county government of Wannian County. Princess Taiping's wedding car is too luxurious and huge, and the gate of Wannian County cannot be entered at all. Gaozong and Wu Zetian immediately decided to tear down the wall!

According to Tang Dynasty customs, weddings were held at night, and only torches could be lit along the streets. As a result, from the Daming Palace in the northeast of Chang'an City, all the way to the Wannian County in the southeast of the city, the torch was lit into a fire dragon along the way, and the locust trees on the side of the road were scorched.

Although this luxurious wedding is not the last, it can definitely be regarded as unprecedented, and it has been recited by the people of Chang'an City for many years.

Lu Xiaoxian looked at it for a while, and was about to step forward, but saw more than a dozen catchers hurrying out of the county office, and Ji Wen happened to be among them.

"Brother Ji!" Lu Xiaoxian shouted from afar.

Ji Wen turned around and saw that it was Lu Xiaoxian, he was slightly stunned, but he still came over: "Brother Lu, why are you here?" Is there something wrong with me? ”

"Oh! It's okay! Lu Xiaoxian waved his hand and said, "I was just passing by here temporarily, and I wanted to go and see Brother Ji!" ”

"Unfortunately, I'm going out to handle the case now!" Giwin said apologetically, "Why don't you come back later, I'll wait for you!" ”

"Brother Ji is going to handle the case?" Lu Xiaoxian asked casually, "What kind of case to handle?" ”

Ji Wen did not hide it: "There is a murder case outside Yanxing Gate, I want to go to the scene of the inspection!" ”

"Homicide?" Lu Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment, and said, "Brother Ji, shall I go and see if it is done?" ”

Ji Wen hesitated and didn't want to agree, but seeing Lu Xiaoxian's begging eyes, he had to nod and said to Lu Xiaoxian: "It's okay to see the strangeness from a distance, don't come closer, otherwise you'll get into trouble!" ”

Lu Xiao nodded hurriedly.

With that, Gwen hurried away.

Yanxing Gate is not far from the Qujiang River in the south and the Ci'en Temple in the southwest, standing on the top of the castle tower, the view is as if it is near, and the scenery is very pleasant.

The scene of the murder was on the edge of a small forest fifty steps south of Yanxing Gate, and it was relatively remote because it was far away from the official road.

At this moment, the catchers are busy nervously.

There were a lot of people watching the excitement around, and Lu Xiaoxian squeezed into the crowd to watch.

A headless corpse lay across the scene, and the catcher was searching the woods, apparently looking for the corpse's head.

Looking at the corpse's clothing, Lu Xiaoxian felt a little familiar. Suddenly, he had a hint of foreboding in his heart.

After a while, suddenly someone in the forest shouted, "Found it!" Got it! ”

A catcher came running quickly, and he raised his head in the air.

Lu Xiaoxian saw clearly the pale face with his head closed and his eyes closed, that's right, it was the middle-aged scribe who went to Tiantong Casino to play a few days ago.

His face suddenly turned gloomy.

Without bothering to say hello to Ji Wen again, Lu Xiaoxian hurriedly turned around and left. He didn't know how to walk back, and along the way, the pale face of the middle-aged scribe kept flashing in his mind.

Entering the backyard of the gambling house, it happened that the shopkeeper Hu came over, and he asked with concern, "What?" Uncomfortable? ”

Lu Xiaoxian glanced at Shopkeeper Hu: "Shopkeeper Hu, are you free?" Let's talk! ”

Shopkeeper Hu glanced at Lu Xiaoxian in surprise and nodded slightly.

In the residence of the shopkeeper in the backyard, in addition to the necessary household goods, there is also an incense case, on which various legal objects are placed for the statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, just like the Buddha hall.

The shopkeeper of the first gambling house in Chang'an actually offered a Buddha statue, so that whoever listened to it thought it was a joke.

Shopkeeper Hu looked at Lu Xiaoxian and did not speak. He knew that Lu Xiaoxian must have something on his mind, and if he wanted to say it, he would say it without asking. If you don't want to say it, it's useless to ask.

After being silent for a while, Lu Xiaoxian suddenly asked, "Shopkeeper Hu, you have been in the casino all your life, do you think it makes sense?" "Love the Book House

Shopkeeper Hu blurted out without thinking about it: "There is no meaning!" ”

"Oh?" Shopkeeper Hu's answer surprised Lu Xiaoxian, and he asked, "Shopkeeper Hu, can you be more detailed?" ”

The shopkeeper Hu said slowly: "Earlier, he was young and frivolous, and the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and he practiced gambling skills only to become famous and satisfy his vanity. If you think about it, gambling is no different from other techniques, but you just have more hands, so what's complacent and what's the point? ”

What Shopkeeper Hu said made sense, Lu Xiaoxian nodded.

Later, with more time, more energy, and countless occasions, he finally won the title of Chang'an gambling king. Looking back, people need to experience too much in this life, because gambling, missing too much should be experienced, it is really not cost-effective, so it is still meaningless! ”

Lu Xiaoxian nodded again.

"As you said, I'm rolling around in the casino, but I'm late in my life, and my heart has long since lost the passion I had been. To put it bluntly, now it's just a means of making a living, and when it comes to this, what's the point of talking about it? ”

Lu Xiaoxian looked at the shopkeeper Hu for a while, and then asked in a changed voice: "Over the years, have there been many people who have come to Tiantong Gambling House to play in the field?" ”

"It's not much, only five or six times before and after! Of course, the one you coped with was the strongest, and I will solve the rest with my shot! ”

Lu Xiaoxian was silent for a while, and finally asked, "Can you tell me?" What are the results of these people after the defeat of the game? ”

"This ......" Shopkeeper Hu was slightly stunned, "I don't know about this!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian stared at the shopkeeper Hu with blazing eyes: "I don't know, or I don't want to say it, or I don't dare to say it?" ”

Shopkeeper Hu avoided Lu Xiaoxian's gaze, sighed and said, "You know everything?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian nodded.

"These people have all gone to another world, it was the people of the Suzaku Gate who did it, and they will not allow people who openly challenge the authority of Her Royal Highness the princess to live in the world. Everyone who comes to play has to pin their head to the waistband of their trousers. Unless you keep winning, there's only one way, and that's a dead end! ”

Lu Xiaoxian said: "That's why Shopkeeper Hu will worship the Buddha statue and repent for the opponent who lost his life under you over the years." ”

Shopkeeper Hu didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Lu Xiaoxian lowered his head and pondered.

After a while, Lu Xiaoxian raised his head and stared at Shopkeeper Hu with deep eyes: "Shopkeeper Hu, tell me the truth, I quit from Tiantong Casino now, is it too late?" ”

Listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, Shopkeeper Hu was taken aback: "You want to withdraw from Tiantong Casino?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian nodded.

"This ......," shopkeeper Hu pondered how to answer Lu Xiaoxian.

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in!" Shopkeeper Hu said in a deep voice.

It was Yu Baoguan who entered the door, he glanced at Lu Xiaoxian, and said to the shopkeeper Hu: "Shopkeeper, someone wants to see Lu to worship!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian was curious: "Who wants to see me?" ”

"She said that she was the wife of the shopkeeper of Yonghe Lou Chen, surnamed Yu!"

"Where is she?" Lu Xiaoxian hurriedly asked.

"At the door of the gambling house!"

Lu Xiaoxian didn't bother to say hello to Shopkeeper Hu, and ran out as if flying.

Yu rarely shows up, let alone come to a place like the gambling house, something big must have happened, otherwise Yu would not have come to the gambling house to find himself.

As soon as Yu saw Lu Xiaoxian, he cried and said, "Xiaoxian, hurry, your uncle can't do it!" ”

"No more?" Lu Xiaoxian became anxious when he heard this: "What's the matter?" ”

"Your uncle has fainted since yesterday, and he hasn't woken up yet!" Yu Shi trembled, "I found a few Lang Zhong to see, and they all said to prepare for the future!" ”

I just met Chen Song in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it's fine, how is this possible?

Lu Xiaoxian comforted Yu Shi and said: "Auntie, don't worry, with me, Uncle will be fine!" ”

After all, Yu's family is a woman's family, and her husband is unconscious, so she has no idea, and the first thing that comes to mind is Lu Xiaoxian.

As soon as Lu Xiaoxian said this, Yu seemed to have something to rely on, nodded and hurriedly ran home with Lu Xiaoxian.

Seeing Chen Song on the bed, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help frowning. His face was yellow, his eyes were closed, his breathing was weak, and he was clearly not lightly ill.

"Auntie, you wait here, I'll come when I go!"

With that, Lu Xiaoxian hurriedly walked out of the courtyard and ran towards Hua Yunfeng's medical hall. In Lu Xiaoxian's mind, as long as Hua Lang is there, Chen Song will be saved.

……

Seeing that Hua Langzhong finished diagnosing his pulse, Lu Xiaoxian asked eagerly: "Hua Langzhong, how is Uncle Chen?" ”

"Not so good!" Hua Langzhong shook his head and said.

"What the hell is going on?" Lu Xiaoxian's heart sank.

"The left side of the umbilicus is like a cup, the abdomen is distended like a drum, there are green veins, I can't lie down, there is a lot of ascites, the flank pain is extreme, the hand press the sore spot is unbearable, I can't sleep flat, I have severe diarrhea, it should be a liver lobe sore!"
