Text Chapter 28 The Nandu Case
Miss Shisu returned to the carriage, and the carriage sparkled northward, and Ning Zuer gently shook the folding fan and followed the carriage unhurriedly. After a while, a car and a person disappeared into the bustling crowd, and Yang Muyun exhaled lightly: "She's safe, isn't she?" It doesn't matter if you can save her by yourself or not. That Ning Gongzi's appearance is ten times better than mine, and his martial arts are probably only higher than me. He and Miss Shiso are together, and they are really a beautiful couple. ”
Yang Muyun felt uncomfortable in his heart, where should he go now? Go to Jinyi Weinan Town Fusi? I didn't want to go there. But there is no other familiar place in the huge Nandu, Yang Muyun is bored strolling on the street, the street is still so familiar, but the beauty around him is no longer there. He thought of Huzhou, where he was born and raised, and everything there was so familiar and close.
Just as his thoughts were surging, he suddenly heard a mournful and earnest cry. Yang Muyun followed the prestige, and it turned out to be a group of people wearing linen and filial piety, waving white flags, holding a black lacquer coffin, crying and walking through the street. Where the coffin passed, there was a foul smell, and people passing by covered their noses.
Seeing this, an old man who was selling bean curd shook his head and sighed. Yang Muyun's heart moved, and he stepped forward to stop him and said, "Uncle, come here for a bowl of bean curd." The old man hurriedly put down his burden and said, "Don't dare, son, please wait." After a while, a bowl of bean curd was handed over, Yang Muyun took a bite and tasted it, and asked, "Uncle, whose funeral is this, walking in such a hurry." ”
"Childe, you don't know, this is a trader who came to Nandu from Jingshi, and he lives in the Fulai Inn on Shangyuan Street in front. Every morning when I pass by the inn, I have to eat my bowl of bean curd. But somehow, he died three days ago, alas--- it is really unpredictable, and people have good fortune and misfortune! He shook his head again and again.
"And who are these people?"
"Oh, you said of the man who sent the coffin! It must be his relatives who are old, and the distance from Nandu to Jingshi is not close, more than 2,000 miles! If you go back to the countryside and be buried, how can you not leave quickly? ”
"Thank you, uncle, how much is this bean flower?"
"Childe, a total of two cents. ...... Thank you, Childe! ”
Yang Muyun touched his chin and was in a daze. I heard someone behind me whispering, "My lord? ”
"Is that you? How did you guys get here? Yang Muyun Huo Ran looked back and saw Duan Xiaoqi with a few subordinates coming behind him at some point.
"My lord, Lord Shen has something to ask you to go back to the ya, and my subordinates have been looking for you for a long time, so go back quickly!"
"Hmm!" Yang Muyun pointed to the team that was supporting the coffin and sending the spirit: "You send two people to follow them." See where they landed. ”
"Yes!" Duan Xiaoqi sent two people to follow.
"Let's go!" Yang Muyun turned around and walked towards the east of the city.
"What did Lord Shen tell me to go?"
"The subordinates don't know, but the subordinates see Gan Baihu, Jiang Baihu and Ning Gongzi have gone, and the matter must be not small. So my subordinates are looking for you everywhere. ”
"Oh?" Yang Muyun was a little puzzled.
"My lord, Gan Baihu's name is Gan Ying, and he is the number one to arrest Fang Baihu. Jiang Baihu's name is Jiang Wei, and he is a local name to arrest Fang Baihu. Ning Gongzi's name is Ning Zuer, and he is a person who arrests Fang Baihu, because he is the righteous son of Lord Shen, and he is young, so everyone in Nanzhen Fu Si calls him Ning Gongzi. ”
"Ning Zu'er?" Yang Muyun said in surprise, and the image of a peerless beautiful man flashed in his mind. Didn't the beautiful young man who saved Miss Shisu also call himself Ning Zuer? Could it be him?
"Adults know Ning Gongzi?" Duan Xiaoqi was even more surprised than him.
"I don't know, you go on."
"The three of them, together with Cheng Jie and Cheng Cheng, who are in charge of the arrest, are collectively known as the four King Kongs under Lord Shen, and they are Lord Shen's most capable cadres."
"Lord Shen recruited them, there must be something big, I haven't been in charge of this hundred households for a few days, it's not suitable for the past, right?"
"Lord Shen wants you to come over, there must be Lord Shen's intentions."
---------------------
Jinyi Weinan Town Fusi Inner Hall.
Shen Yun sat on the official hat chair in the center, and on the left sat a man dressed as a scribe in his forties, and at the bottom sat a sturdy man in his thirties. The seat on the top right is vacant, and the next seat is the peerless beautiful boy who knocked down Ling Wujian on the street and saved Miss Shisu before. All three of them did not wear official uniforms, but were dressed in civilian clothes.
After Yang Muyun stepped forward to greet Shen Yun, Shen Yun bowed slightly, pointed at the middle-aged scribe and said, "This is Gan Ying Gan Baihu." ”
"I've seen Gan Baihu."
"This is Jiang Weijiang's hundred households." Shen Yun pointed at the sturdy man.
"I've seen Jiang Baihu."
"This is Ning Zu'er Ning Baihu."
"I've seen Ning Gongzi."
Finally, Shen Yun introduced: "This is Yang Muyun, who has just been promoted to 100 households. Let's get to know each other. Gan Ying and Jiang Wei only nodded slightly at him and did not speak. Ning Zu'er stood up with a smile and said, "Yang Baihu has been in good trouble recently, and the entire Nanzhen Fusi is praising your name!" ”
"Don't dare, Ning Gongzi has won the award." Seeing that the other party got up, Yang Muyun saluted him.
When Ning Zuer reached out to support his elbow, he quickly bowed to his left, Yang Muyun saw him make a move, and he was already prepared in his heart. With his arm back, the index finger of his right hand poked at Ning Zuer's chest, Ning Zuer's face was slightly angry, and he waved his arm away. The right hand and fingers were as fast as lightning and went straight to Yang Muyun's throat, and when he was about to touch Yang Muyun's throat, his wrist tightened, and Yang Muyun grabbed it tightly. As soon as Ning Zu'er's strength was earned, Yang Muyun let go and stepped aside, and arched his hand: "Ning Gongzi is strong in martial arts, and he has seen it at the mouth of Fuxue Alley, and he is willing to bow down." Ning Zu'er smiled, no longer pressing, and sat back.
Shen Yun smiled and pointed at Jiang Wei: "Mu Yun, you can sit down too." ”
After Yang Muyun sat down, Shen Yun said, "There is a big event that summons you here today. His Royal Highness King Yu and Princess Yongqing have disappeared in my southern capital. As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked, when did a prince and a princess come to Nandu? How could he have mysteriously disappeared?
"His Royal Highness King Yu and Princess Yongqing came to my southern capital in Weifu, except for the emperor, few people in the court know about this matter, they live in the Cheng'en Temple in the south of the city. According to the guards who protected them, the two of them went back to the house to rest last night and did not come out until midnight. After that, Gonggong Li, who was with him, knocked on the door of the two people's room, but no one answered, so he opened the door, and there was no one inside. Gonggong Li and the guards searched the whole temple, but they could not find them. Only then did I come to my Nanzhen Fusi, and asked our Jinyiwei to come forward to find His Royal Highness King Yu and Princess Yongqing. ”
"My lord, do Ying Tianfu and the Criminal Department know about this?" Ning Gongzi asked.
"This matter should not be made a big fuss, and it should be investigated and handled by the Fu Division of Nanzhen." Shen Yun stood up and said, "I have first sent people to block Cheng'en Temple and its surroundings, and now you will gather your men and horses and go to Cheng'en Temple with this official." ”
------------------
"My lord, why don't we go to the temple to visit, but come out here." Duan Xiaoqi was puzzled.
"There is already Lord Shen leading Gan Baihu, Jiang Baihu and Ning Gongzi in the temple, I'm afraid I won't be able to squeeze us, so go outside to see if there are any clues?" Yang Muyun quipped.
"But people are lost inside the temple, what can be found outside?" Duan Xiaoqi still didn't understand.
"That's not necessarily, if you investigate the case, you have to visit more." Yang Muyun comforted him.
Seeing Qi Zongqi and Lu Zongqi coming towards each other from a distance, Yang Muyun asked, "How is it?" What's the takeaway for the two of you? ”
"No, what about you, Lao Lu?" Qi Zongqi frowned.
"I also asked everywhere, and they all said that I didn't see a boy in scarlet clothes about twenty years old and the twelve or thirteen-year-old Tsing Yi scholar next to him." Mr. Lu's face was not good-looking.
"My lord, let's go to the temple and check!" Duan Xiaoqi is still insisting.
"Go inside and check? It has long been checked by others. What new discoveries will you have left? Yang Muyun's face was sneering.
"Then we can't wander around outside, right? Adults ...... "Qi Zongqi also suggested.
"Then we'll expand the scope, and we'll meet at the gate of Cheng'en Temple in an hour."
"Alas-----" everyone sighed.
-----------------
"Fortune Inn? How does the name sound familiar? Yang Muyun stopped at the door of a Fulai Inn on Huilu Street.
"Yo, guest officer, where do you stay?" The guys in the store hurriedly came out to say hello.
Before Yang Muyun could speak, someone next to him stopped him: "This guest, someone has just died in this shop, you can't live there!" "The one who spoke was also a guy dressed as a man.
"You people at the Chase Inn are looking for trouble, aren't they? The man you mentioned was sick and died on the way to seek medical treatment, and he was buried in a coffin and stopped at Cheng'en Temple. What does it have to do with our inn? Don't you look for a fight? "The guy rolled up his sleeves and tried to fight the guy who owed.
"Cheng'en Temple?" Yang Muyun's mind lit up and stopped the guy: "Which room does that person live in, take me to see it." ”
"You are?"
"The government handles the case." Yang Muyun showed the waist card of Jinyiwei.
------------------
"My lord, this is the room where the guest from Kyoto is staying." The innkeeper's face was full of smiles.
"When did he move in?" Yang Muyun looked around the room and asked.
"About half a month ago, this guest got up early every morning, drank a bowl of bean curd at the door of the small shop, and didn't know where to go, and didn't come back until very late." The shopkeeper tried to be as detailed as possible.
"What's his name?"
"Huang Quan."
"Sneer---" Yang Muyun almost didn't laugh out loud, "It's not good to have a name, but to give it such a name, it's really fate to return to Huangquan." ”
"When did he die?" Yang Muyun couldn't help laughing.
"Three days ago, Huang Quan said that he was unwell, so he didn't go out again, and when it was almost noon, he suddenly shouted that his heart hurt, and the villain hurriedly asked the guy to take him to see Langzhong, who knew that he was out of breath halfway through." The shopkeeper was a little uneasy.
"And then? Didn't pull it back into your store? ”
"How dare you? The villain is still in business! In this way, some people said that the shop had died, and that there were fewer guests who had come to stay in the store these days......" the shopkeeper muttered.
"And how did he put it in the coffin?" Yang Muyun didn't want to hear him talk about anything else.
This is also a coincidence, the small one does not know what to do, at that time among the onlookers came out of a good man wearing a silk robe, holding a rosary, saying that it was a pilgrim of Cheng'en Temple. He said that he had a coffin at home, which was originally for his own use, and that it was very pitiful for this man to die in a foreign land, so he had the coffin brought from his home and the guest was buried on the spot. The villain then joined him to send the coffin to the nearby Cheng'en Temple for temporary parking. ”
"That person is really a good man," Yang Muyun smiled, "What's his name?" Do you know him? ”
"I don't know, he said his surname is Jia, and his accent doesn't look like a native of Nandu."
"Do you know where he lives?"
"I don't know."
"And where did you meet?"
"Suzaku Street Qingping Bridge."
"Does anyone in the crowd know him?"
"The villain didn't pay attention."
"Oh?" Yang Muyun then asked, "What about the coffin?" Do you still stop at Cheng'en Temple? ”
"It shouldn't be there, early this morning, I heard from the guy that Huang Quan's family went to Cheng'en Temple, took the coffin and helped the coffin back to their hometown."
"His family moved quickly, and the capital was more than 2,000 miles away, so they got the news so quickly and flew to it." Yang Muyun felt incredible.
The shopkeeper didn't know what he meant, and didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Yang Muyun walked around the room, casually flipped through it and asked, "What about Huang Quan's things?" ”
"Huang Quan didn't have much luggage, so the villain packed up and stored it in Cheng'en Temple. It should have been taken by his family now, right? ”
Yang Muyun paced back and forth in the room a few times, and then looked around. He said to the shopkeeper, "You must stay in the shop for some time so that you can be summoned." ”
"Yes, sir!" The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his head.
Yang Muyun came out of the Fulai Inn and said to Duan Xiaoqi: "You hurry up and take someone to the area of Qingping Bridge on Zhuque Street, and ask if anyone knows about a Jia Dashan person?" Does he live in Nandu? ”
"Yes, sir!" Duan Xiaoqi hurriedly led the people away.
Yang Muyun was about to leave, and suddenly saw Ning Zuer and a few of his subordinates also walking towards the Fulai Inn. He secretly said in his heart: "He is really fast." ”
Ning Zuer also saw Yang Muyun, a look of surprise appeared on his face, he shook the folding fan, and raised his sword eyebrows: "I didn't expect Yang Baihu to be one step ahead of me." ”
Yang Muyun said with a smile: "Where, I just passed by by accident, Ning Gongzi was too worried." ”
Ning Zuer looked at the signboard of the Fulai Inn and sighed: "It seems that you have already finished asking what you should ask, and it will be too much for me to come again." ”
"Ning Gongzi is polite, Ning Gongzi's martial arts skills are ten times better than me, and his knowledge is even more extraordinary, there will definitely be new discoveries with you." Yang Muyun smiled and was about to leave.
With a "brush", Ning Zuer opened the folding fan and looked at him with a strange look: "Are you also at the entrance of Fuxue Alley?" ”
Yang Muyun didn't know what he meant, he didn't answer, and his footsteps were still moving forward.
"That young lady is as beautiful as a heavenly person, what does Yang Baihu think?" There was an elusive smile on the corner of Ning Zuer's mouth.
Yang Muyun's heart tightened, and he suddenly looked back at Ning Zuer.
Ning Zuer laughed, walked away quickly with a folding fan in his hand, and only dropped one sentence: "Bamboo Forest Lane by the Pearl Bridge, it seems that my son has taken the lead." ”
Only Yang Muyun was left standing there.
