Brother 252: Looking for clues
Looking at Kato's round head and the understatement expression of the servant, Tonny's eyes were directly frightened.
The official looked at Tonny's big eyes with disdain, and said, "Phew! As long as you're still the leader of the pirates, such a head is scared to pee, look at your useless appearance! ”
Liao Jiapeng didn't see this scene because he was taken away early, and if he did, it is estimated that his reaction would not be much stronger than Tonny's eyes.
Escorted by three fast hands, Liao Jiapeng staggered all the way.
He has been to Dongyang County a few times, and several streets are quite familiar.
Looking at the surrounding shops, Liao Jiapeng couldn't help muttering in his heart: This is the most prosperous street in Dongyang County, where are they going to take themselves?
Thinking of the oil cake that Lao Hanzhai ate last night, Liao Jiapeng couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick his lips, as if the fragrance was still there.
Isn't there a big meal today? Liao Jiapeng thought in his heart.
As the saying goes, take others with short hands and eat others with short mouths, is the surname Chen planning to use a few hearty meals to buy himself?
Liao Jiapeng couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart, this surnamed Chen also thinks too highly of him, even if he eats you, I won't be soft-mouthed!
But after passing through a restaurant and rice village, it just didn't mean to stop, such as: Haidaiyuan rice village, Juquande restaurant, steamed mandarin fish restaurant, these are all things that Liao Jiapeng wants to go to but has not been.
In the end, they still stopped in front of a door, and Liao Jiapeng looked up, disappointed and a little confused at the same time.
I saw that the plaque on the top of this shop read: Chen Ji Red Pine Workshop.
Liao Jiapeng couldn't help it, asked the fast hand next to him, and said, "Brother Bad Official, what are we doing here?" Buying furniture? ”
"Less nonsense, wait." A quick hand shouted.
Liao Jiapeng saw that the other party's attitude was not kind, and he closed his mouth very interestingly, after all, heroes don't suffer immediate losses.
After a while, a guy came out of it, and after looking at them a few times, he said, "Don't stand here, affect business, go to the back door." ”
After listening to this, the three fast hands also pushed Liao Jiapeng and walked towards the back door of the woodworking workshop.
Liao Jiapeng didn't feel good in his heart, he just smiled and asked, but he was reprimanded; And the guy just now was arrogant, and these poor officials didn't react in the slightest.
This is obviously bullying the soft and fearing the hard, which is really shameless!
When he arrived at the back door of the carpentry workshop, Liao Jiapeng found that two carriages had been parked there, and he felt that something was wrong.
When they walked over, Chen Zheng also happened to come out of the house, and Wei Dayong was following him.
Chen Zheng clasped his fists at the three fast hands and said, "This time there are three big brothers." ”
The fast hand who scolded Liao Jiapeng just now hurriedly replied: "What did Master Chen say, this pursuit of Yang Xu is originally our responsibility and obligation, and it is really unfortunate to let you get involved." ”
This person's name is Lu Renjia, and he is an experienced fast player in Dongyang County; The other two, slightly younger, one is named Bu Zhongyao and the other is Mei Guanxi.
"Alas, my lady has been hunting for many days, and there is no news so far, so I can't rest assured!" Chen Zheng worried.
Lu Renjia was worthy of comfort: "Mrs. Chen is good at martial arts, there will be no problem." ”
"yes, she can beat ten of us alone." Bu Zhongyao also agreed, obviously he should have been beaten before.
Mei Guanxi smiled and said, "What they said is right, Master Chen don't worry." ”
Although he said that, before he found Yue Xiaorong, Chen Zheng couldn't let go.
In Chen Zheng's heart, the main purpose this time was to find Yue Xiaorong, and as for arresting Yang Xu, it was a convenient matter.
After a moment of silence, Chen Zheng asked, "Are you all ready?" ”
Lu Renjia lifted the burden in his hand and said, "Everything has been prepared, and the official letter for the cross-state pursuit has also been completed." ”
Chen Zheng nodded and said, "Then let's get in the car." ”
Lu Renjia came to Chen Zheng's side, pulled him away, and whispered: "Master Chen, Master Li specially reminds that this assassin of Qianyang Mansion is Chen Xicheng, the former assassin of Hongjiang Mansion. ”
Chen Zheng thought about this Chen Xicheng for a while, and finally remembered, but shouldn't it be Li Gang who had an unpleasant quarrel with that Chen Xicheng? What does it have to do with me?
"Then what does Master Li mean?" Chen Zheng asked, he knew that Li Gang would not simply ask someone to send a message, just to tell him this.
Lu Renjia continued: "What Lord Li means is that although this time it is a cross-state pursuit, if it is not necessary, it is better to keep a low profile and not let Chen Xicheng know. ”
Chen Zheng understood that Li Gang was worried that Chen Xicheng would deliberately make things difficult for them, so he tried not to deal with the local government.
After thinking about it, Chen Zheng felt that with that Chen Xicheng's personality, he could really do this.
In other words, this time when I went to Qianyang Mansion, I couldn't stay in a post house, I could only stay in an inn.
"Who is out of the entanglement on the road?" Chen Zheng asked.
Lu Renjia coughed lightly twice and said, "Master Li Gang said, if Master Chen has enough money, he can pay in advance, and when he returns from the mission, the county commander will reimburse you." ”
Chen Zheng rolled his eyes, and said in his heart, is this a liar? In this era, there is no invoice, how to reimburse? It's not a joke.
"I really don't have a lot of money to do here, you know, the cost and expense of building a whaling ship in the dockyard are still paid by me." Chen Zheng said very dissatisfied.
Lu Renjia was a little embarrassed, but this was what Li Gang explained to them when he left, and he couldn't help but convey it.
Chen Zheng saw that Lu Renjia was a little embarrassed, sighed in his heart, and said, "That's it, that's it." I just hope you can put in your strength to help me find my wife. ”
Lu Renjia patted his chest and said, "This Master Chen, don't worry, our brothers are absolutely reliable." ”
"Hmph, if it's reliable, I won't go without money." Chen Zheng teased.
Lu Renjia smiled, scratched his head, and left, and when he walked to Liao Jiapeng's side, he scolded: "Look at it!" If you don't hurry up and get in the car, do you have to ask Lao Tzu to carry you up? ”
Liao Jiapeng was taken aback, but still asked, "Where are we going?" Will you throw me into the wilderness? ”
Chen Zheng walked over and said, "Kill you, you don't need to be so troublesome, the finished oil cake must be delicious, didn't the official tell you?" ”
Liao Jiapeng then remembered that the official who gave him the oil cake after making it did tell him that he would let him take the surname Chen to arrest Yang Xu.
Liao Jiapeng nodded and said, "I know, are there still oil cakes?" I'm a little hungry right now. ”
Bu Zhongyao, who was next to him, couldn't help it, kicked it over, and scolded: "Ning Xipi, I still want to eat oil cakes, eat!" ”
Chen Zheng waved his hand and said, "Don't waste time, let's get on the road!" ”
Lu Renjia and Bu Zhongyao pushed Liao Jiapeng into the carriage in front, and Mei Guanxi was responsible for driving; And Chen Zheng and Wei Dayong got into the carriage behind, and the handlebar style was naturally Wei Dayong's.
Two carriages, one in front of the other and one behind, drove out from the west gate of Dongyang County and headed west.
This is the second time Chen Zheng has gone far away, and the last time he went to Kyoto, he walked the canal and waterway, which was very comfortable.
This time, however, it was by land, by horse-drawn carriage, and the distance was much farther than going to Kyoto, so a tiring journey was inevitable.
However, fortunately, these two carriages were carefully built by Chen Zheng, and the attributes on them made them a lot easier.
Galloping, light, smooth, and sturdy, several attributes are simple, but they are very useful, and there are no strange attributes, which makes Chen Zheng breathe a sigh of relief.
Chen Zhengke remembered that when he built his first sea ship, there was a rampage attribute, but later at sea, after encountering a pirate ship, he collided uncontrollably.
Fortunately, the sea search ship also has a sturdy attribute, so it is fine, otherwise the ship would have been wrecked and people would have died.
If this rampage attribute appears on the carriage, it will be fun, there is a possibility of overturning at any time, even if there is a veteran driving like Wei Dayong, it is not good, just ask you if you are afraid.
Three days later, the two carriages had arrived in Qianyang Mansion.
According to the speed of ordinary carriages, it is definitely impossible to arrive in three days, but Chen Zheng's car is fast.
Chen Zheng even thought on the road, as long as his speed was fast enough, could he catch up with the lady halfway?
However, the imagination is very full, the reality is very skinny, they did not meet Yue Xiaorong, which made Chen Zheng very disappointed, it seems that his speed is still not fast enough.
After entering the Qianyang Mansion, Chen Zheng asked Wei Dayong to slow down the speed of the carriage.
According to Liao Jiapeng's guidance, everyone came to Loudi County, which is under the jurisdiction of Qianyang Mansion, which is the hometown of Liao Jiapeng and Yang Xu.
Loudi County is obviously different from Dongyang County, it is sparsely populated, and the food and use are not as good as Dongyang County.
Liao Jiapeng looked at his hometown where he had left for many years, and suddenly sighed, sighed, and said: "Unexpectedly, after a few years, there has been no change here at all." ”
Chen Zheng's mind was not here at all, so he found an inn casually, and after depositing the carriage and horses, he asked Liao Jiapeng to lead the way to Yang Xu's old house.
The old house of Yang Xu's family is actually quite easy to find, just a small village not far from Shun'an County, the name of the village is very awkward, and Chen Zheng did not remember it.
There are not many people in the village anymore, but some people recognize Liao Jiapeng, but obviously, Liao Jiapeng is not very popular in this village.
Liao Jiapeng didn't care, and led Chen Zheng and them straight to Yang Xu's old house.
Before seeing Yang Xu's old house, Chen Zheng thought that it was a courtyard with a few entrances and exits, but it turned out to be a big disappointment.
The so-called old house of Yang Xu's family turned out to be just a dilapidated house.
However, there must be clues in this, Chen Zheng didn't dare to slack off, and went in with Wei Dayong, Lu Renjia, and Bu Zhongyao to find out.
As for Liao Jiapeng, he was watched by Mei Guanxi waiting outside, one can be used as a response, and the other can be by the way.
Kuaishou Lu Renjia and Bu Zhongyao are in front, after all, the two are professional and more experienced, while Chen Zheng and Wei Dayong are behind.
Yang Xu's old mansion was really not big, and soon they looked inside and out to make sure that no one had come.
Chen Zheng frowned, not knowing what to do next, Wei Dayong said beside him: "Let that Liao Jiapeng come in and take a look, maybe you can find something." ”
Chen Zheng nodded and asked Bu Zhongyao to go out and bring Liao Jiapeng in.
"Liao Jiapeng, think about the sins you have committed, this is your only chance to make meritorious contributions, don't miss it." Chen Zhengdao.
Liao Jiapeng smiled, these three days were the most nourishing three days he lived, not only eating and drinking, but also not having to work, let alone being like on the island, and at night, he had to deal with Dongni's eyes.
Therefore, in the past three days, Liao Jiapeng's face has regained its blood color, and if you look closely, you have gained a lot of weight.
"Master Chen, please rest assured, Yang Xu has already agreed with me, there must be some marks in this." Liao Jiapeng replied.
Bu Zhongyao didn't talk much, and he wanted to kick when he raised his legs, but was stopped by Chen Zheng.
Chen Zhengdao: "Then don't talk nonsense, I have a good temper, it doesn't mean that they have a good temper, and if they are still so inked next time, I won't stop it." ”
Liao Jiapeng hurriedly nodded and bowed, not daring to make a mistake, and went to the house to find clues.
After a while, Liao Jiapeng shouted and said, "I found it!" ”
Chen Zheng hurriedly walked over to check, followed Liao Jiapeng's fingers, and sure enough, on the edge of the stove, there was a three-bar arrow.
Following the direction of the arrow, Chen Zheng and the others searched for a long time, but they didn't find anything, so they couldn't help frowning and said, "Why is there nothing?" ”
Liao Jiapeng smiled slightly and said: "This is the special mark agreed between me and Yang Xu, the arrow of the three bars, it is three feet in the direction of this arrow, there is a clue." ”
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Chen Zheng asked dissatisfiedly.
"You didn't ask me." Liao Jiapeng spread his hands with a smile on his face.
Chen Zheng frowned, glanced at Bu Zhongyao, and said, "Some people just owe the beating." ”
After speaking, Chen Zheng followed the direction of the arrow, measured three feet, and went to find the clue.
And when Liao Jiapeng was still proud that he had played everyone, Bu Zhongyao next to him kicked over and scolded: "Ning Xipi, if you have something to say, you can't say it yourself, do you want us to ask?" Something like a dog! ”
Liao Jiapeng was kicked by a dog gnawing mud, rubbing his buttocks, and didn't dare to refute, at this time, he remembered that Chen Zheng had reminded him just now.
But Liao Jiapeng felt that after getting along in the past two days, Chen Zheng had a good temper, so he didn't take it seriously, and now he regrets it.
Chen Zheng ignored Liao Jiapeng, but carefully looked at the three feet where the arrow pointed, and after taking a closer look, he found that it was really a little different.
The gap between one brick here was obviously wider than the others, indicating that it might be loose, and the clue they were looking for should be under this brick.
Lu Renjia was very discerning, took out a knife, and pried out the bricks along the cracks of the bricks, and Chen Zheng saw that there was a small note lying under the bricks.
