Chapter Seventy-Five: Murder is like hemp

The two catchers looked at Hu Xiu, it was the first time they had seen such an active prisoner.

"Alas~ escort Yan Yun to [Taichang Temple]!"

After that, Hu Xiu won't care, let him go.

The turmoil dissipated, and Yan Yun was also handed over to [Taichang Temple], but the people of [Taichang Temple] were confused, this case has nothing to do with them at all, after all, they were not involved in the whole process.

How could the prisoner be handed over to them, this case, how to say this is also a merit, but thinking of Hu Xiu's identity, he didn't dare to ask more, so he put the person in prison and interrogated him on a later date.

As for Yan Yun's wife, thinking about it for herself, she really didn't know how to take care of it, so she asked the yamen to take a look occasionally, and gave her ten taels of gold.

In the afternoon of this day, Xin Dutou was invited by Hu Xiu to Wangyue Tower, and he had promised that after Xin Dutou's case was over, he would invite him to drink, and Hu Xiu naturally would not break his promise.

After three rounds of drinking, both of them were a little drunk, and Hu Xiu was in a daze, and suddenly remembered that the two brothers who had spent all their money to treat their sister's illness.

"By the way, what about the two brothers of the Shi family? I haven't seen them in the yamen before, and I don't know if their sister has been cured. ”

Hu Xiu hooked up with the shoulders of this Xin Dutou, and his white face was flushed, which was very good-looking.

"Your Excellency, you are drunk, I will help you sit down. I don't know where the brother and sister went, and I didn't go to the yamen for a day, so I sent someone to look for him, and when the door of their house was open, I found a letter to the son. ”

Xin Dutou hurriedly helped Hu Xiu, who was lying on him, to the side, his behavior was unseemly, if others saw it and spread it, he would have to make a lot of gossip.

He has practiced the amount of alcohol, and he is naturally much better than Hu Xiu, although he is a little drunk because of his greed for glasses, but his subjective consciousness is still clear.

"A letter? For me? ”

Cheered up, his eyes widened hard, and he took the letter, which read: Hu Wangfu Hu Xiu personally opened.

"Little two! A bowl of decanting soup! ”

Hu Xiu shouted outside, and Xiao Er, who had been waiting at the door, answered "Alas", and the person went to get the decanting soup.

Tearing open the seal, before he had time to take a closer look, Xiao Er came in a hurry with the decanting soup, and it was estimated that he had intercepted the decanting soup for the guests and sent it to him first.

Hu Xiu didn't say anything, waved his hand back, and the person went down. Tear open the seal and take out the paper that was folded in half, saying that this envelope has a bit of an antique taste.

The first sentence of the book is: My sister is sick and healthy, don't worry about it.

When Master Hu saw this letter, the three of us brothers and sisters had already come out of Ping'an City. Fortunately, I have to worship the good teacher Guan Tian Laoer, I have gone away to Penglai to learn art, if I can return from learning, I hope to be able to work on the adults!

"Watching the sky? Hiss~"

Why is it also called Guantian? It so happened that yesterday's black killing said that Guantian was coming, so the blood poison broke out, triggering a series of things later.

Today, I learned that yesterday's "Guantian" took away the three brothers and sisters of the Shi family, how can I not be shocked.

This view of the sky, but the contempt of the sky?

There seemed to be a cool breeze in my heart, and I was drunk, so I picked up the decanting soup at hand and drank it all.

"Xin Dutou, there are some urgent matters at home, I can't accompany you more, I have to go first, and wait for the next reunion."

After that, he got up and walked out of the private room, as for the cost of this meal, naturally he didn't have to pay, and the last few times he came to eat, he naturally didn't pay, and Hu Xiu was still very skilled in doing this kind of thing.

Xin Dutou didn't say anything to stop him, after all, he had already told him that it was an urgent matter, so think about what should be written on that letter.

Hu Xiu ran all the way back to King Hu's mansion, he wanted to tell his mother in advance, after all, the last time he watched his mother, when he heard the word Guantian, he reacted so much, there must be something wrong with this. There is another point, but I am a little worried about the safety of the three brothers and sisters.

Besides, yesterday the direction of the black and white was south, and Gu Huxiu knew that the residence of the three brothers and sisters was also in the south of Ping'an City.

None of this can be said by coincidence, although there are always some very coincidental things in this world, but it will not all happen to him, Hu Xiu can no longer think of this Guantian who took away the three brothers and sisters, can be fake.

After entering King Hu's mansion, I inquired around, and when I learned that Yu'er's mother was in the back garden, I hurried over slowly.

"Mother~"

Hu Xiu rushed into the back garden, the back garden of Hu Wangfu is huge, several pavilions, countless rockeries, swimming in the river, running on the ground, everything.

February is not like January, although it is still a little cold, it is a little warmer than January. The scenery in this garden is not as bleak as the last time I took the little girl around, and it seems to have spring.

But at this time, he was not in the mood to appreciate these beautiful scenery in the eyes of literati and, and now Hu Xiu was in a hurry to find his mother.

After going around a few times, Hu Xiu stopped somewhere in the garden, because he finally saw Yu'er's mother, and at the same time, Yu'er's mother also saw Hu Xiu.

"Xiu'er, what is your urgent matter to find me, so urgent?"

Shi Yu was right, along the way, Hu Xiu walked in a hurry, and when he arrived at Hu Wang's mansion, he went straight into the back garden to find someone, and he didn't stop until now, and his clothes and shoes were a little messy.

"Mother, can't I just come to you because I miss you too much?"

Hu Xiu looked a little embarrassed.

"Say, Hugh, I don't know anything about you, what kind of urgent matter came to me?"

Yu'er Niang didn't lift her head herself, she sprayed with a watering can in her hand, and there was not an inch of grass on the ground in front of her, and the soil was still freshly renovated.

"Hehe~ Mother, there is a letter here, please take a look."

"Oh? My good son, what letter do you want to show me? ”

Only then did Shi Yu raise his head, handed the watering can to the maid who had been waiting aside, walked over, and took the envelope in Hu Xiu's hand.

At first glance, I saw that the envelope read: Hu Wangfu Hu Xiu personally opened. The seal was still torn off, and the fox glanced at Hu Xiu suspiciously, but still took out the letter inside.

After just a cursory glance, he finished reading, and the relaxed and freehand color on his face instantly turned into a rigorous color.

"Girl, you step back first."

"Whoa."

Yu'er's mother's personal maid answered and went down.

"Who is this Guantian?"

Hu Xiu looked at Yu'er's mother so cautious, and was a little puzzled.

"A strange man, a man who claims to represent the will of Heaven, and who kills people like numbness and is cold-blooded, every time he goes to a place, he always causes a lot of killing."

"And this time?"

Hu Xiu was a little nervous, those three brothers and sisters wouldn't be taken out by this Guantian and killed, right? The ten taels of gold he invested were not in vain!

"Guantian Lao'er is arrogant, if he wants to kill people, he won't think of conspiracies and tricks, just kill them directly, so they should be safe. Still, these guys are yours? ”

Shi Yu asked with a smile.

"My friend." Hu Xiu replied hurriedly.

"It's the first time for my mother to say the word friend from Hugh'er's mouth." Shi Yu still looked at him with a smile.

"I'll go, my predecessor's popularity is so bad." Hu Xiu said in his heart.

"But I see that this envelope says that Guantian wants to take your friends as apprentices, so it should really be apprentices.

But if they wait for them to leave the division, I am afraid that there will be many people in the rivers and lakes who want to kill them and hurry up. ”

"Why?" Hu Xiu doubted.

"Their master has done too much, three years ago, the Barefoot Sect of the Great Hu Ye Realm suffered a strong enemy, and it was already a disaster to exterminate the sect, the strong people in the sect had to go out of the mountain to resist the strong enemy, and the rear was weak, and the old man of Guantian took advantage of the weakness to enter and wantonly slaughtered the disciples of the martial arts.

Until the strong man who resisted the foreign enemy suffered heavy casualties and returned with a narrow victory, but saw that his sect was slaughtered, and the disciple who was fortunate to survive told the strong man who came back that it was killed by an old man who claimed to be watching the sky.

Since then, a top-notch faction has slipped to the end of the line, after all, the masters in this sect have suffered heavy casualties, and the fresh blood is almost extinct, if it weren't for the fact that the sect master Jiang Yinglong is not dead, and there is a hidden ninth-order master in the door, otherwise it will have to slip to the second rate.

The face of the Barefoot Gate in the rivers and lakes has been greatly damaged, almost no one dares to enter the Barefoot Gate anymore, and even the children in the sect are not well protected, who dares to enter? In the past few years, relying on Kenmeng's abduction and recruitment, some apprentices have been recruited, and the sect has gradually become angry.

Therefore, if they know that the apprentices accepted by Guantian Lao'er have walked the rivers and lakes, all of them are barefoot and fierce, and even if they raise the strength of the whole sect, they will hunt them down.

And those who are offended by watching the sky are not only barefoot. ”

"No, it won't."

Hu Xiu cried and laughed, an old man, he was all dying, and he was so able to toss.

"How could it not, Tenglong Dart Bureau, the most powerful dart game in the Shenzhou Continent, there are four or five ninth-order martial artists, a few years ago, their young master was sent to the rudder to practice, but on the way to a dart, he was robbed and killed, and the people who fled back said that it was killed by an old man who claimed to be watching the sky.

The number one sect of the Martial Kingdom, the Divine Fire Sect, once in a while, a young elder in the sect led an elite disciple to go out to experience and strangle the mountain bandits, but a few days later, several disciples came back, and the rest died, including the elder, who claimed to be Guantian.

Finally, there is the Mo family... Forget it, I won't say more, there are still a few gate factions like this, in short, Guantian is by no means a simple character, understand? ”

Hu Xiu listened to the black lines on his head, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or what, as if he was provoking hatred, every time he killed someone, he would inevitably say his name, and if he didn't kill all of them, he always had to put a few back to report the news.

"Mother, I know. But there is still something unclear, Guantian is so arrogant, why didn't he post a notice, wanted him, and took his life? ”

"How can he be killed so easily, then he is not watching the sky, this person's whereabouts are secretive, and he can travel thousands of miles in a day, he can predict good luck and evil, and often hide in the mountains, except for killing, he almost does not enter the city and countryside."

"Traveling thousands of miles in a day?" Hu Xiu's eyes widened, although he didn't know how far away it was, but just listening to it, he felt that it was far away. [Funny]

"In the future, if they really go out and enter the rivers and lakes, you have to stay away from them."

"But I'm with them~"

Hu Xiu wanted to say the word "familiar", but he thought that he had not met them a few times, and where did he come from, so he stopped talking.

"Xiu'er, Guantian is a murderer, without a trace of emotion, no one can know what kind of apprentice he can teach, besides, this person's heart is the most changeable."

……

ps: Ye (ye), the original meaning is fire, bright, and by extension, it is brilliant.

In ancient times, one mile was different in each dynasty: the Qin system was six feet as a step, and 300 steps as one mile. One step in ancient times is equivalent to 0.231 meters in modern times, one mile in the Zhou and Qin dynasties is equivalent to about 415 meters in modern times, and 10,000 miles is equal to 4.15 million meters, which is equal to 4,150 kilometers now.

During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, weights and measures were formulated again, with five feet as a step, two steps as one zhang, 180 zhang as one mile, one foot is equivalent to 0.32 meters in modern times, and one mile is equal to 576 meters. 10,000 miles is equal to 5.76 million meters, which is equal to 5,760 kilometers now.
