After Fang Guohuan had eaten tea and rice, the sky was already dark, and the shop was lit up with candles. The old man led Fang Guolian to the backyard of the cake shop, opened a door, lit the candles on the table, and then said: "Small family, not as big as a big inn, the guest officer will stay, and shout if there is something." With that, the old man turned around.

Fang Guohuan saw that although this room was not big, it was also tidy, with a bed and a table, which meant that the guest room. Fang Guochuan put the package at the head of the bed, then bolted the door, turned off the light, and lay down on the bed to rest.

I don't know how many hours later, I suddenly heard someone in the courtyard shouting loudly: "Little sister, bring a basin of cold water, I want to pour toppings, cool and cool, the heat is dead!" Hearing the old man's voice, he said: "Erniu, there are guests at home, be quiet, don't disturb others." The man called Erniu said: "There are guests!" Where did it come from? ”

The old man said: "A public secretary left late and couldn't enter the city, so I left him." "Oh!" The voice of the second cow was really lower. At this time, I heard the previous female book say: "Second brother, I'll help you." Hearing the sound of splashing water, it was obvious that the female book brought a basin of water and poured it down. Immediately afterwards, I heard the two cows shiver and said, "Ah! It's so cool! Not coming, not coming. The female scholar smiled and said, "Aren't you going to be cooler?" ”

At this time, I heard the old man say: "Erniu, why didn't Da Niu come back with you?" Erniu responded: "After the eldest brother bought flour, he went to his aunt's house in the east of the city and drank a few drinks with his brother-in-law, and he was drunk into a puddle of mud, and I am afraid that he will not be able to come back tonight." The old man was a little displeased and said, "People who are about to become a family, and it is still not like this." The Song officials in the city ordered ten pieces of flour cakes, wouldn't they miss the goods. The second cow said impatiently: "If you can't make a mistake, don't worry." The old man chattered a few more words, and then went.

Hearing the two cows again, he said: "Little sister, what are the Song officials in the city doing with ten pieces of bread?" People are used to eating fish. The female scholar replied: "I heard that it was given to the monks of Longmen Temple. ”

Erniu said: "The monks of Longmen Temple are so blessed that they can eat the ancestral kang cakes of our Wu family. Then, the second cow said: "By the way, little sister, a big incident happened in the city today." The female scholar said: "But what are those again, the children's books of the east family were lost, and the daughter-in-law of the west family jumped into the well?" ”

Erniu said: "It's not such a mess. The female scholar said, "What can be new?" Let's hear it. Erniu said: "I heard that in the city today, there were five lives in a game of chess. At this time, Fang Guolian, who was in the room, was shocked when he heard this, and said in shock: "Could it be that the national eunuch Li Ruchuan has arrived in Xuzhou?" He got up and listened to the window. The female book was surprised at this time: "Just because of a game of chess, five people died, what is it for?" ”

Wu Erniu said: "I don't know very well, I heard that it happened this afternoon, I heard it by chance on the street, and it has spread in the city." The nüshu sighed and said, "How did a good man come up with five lives in chess?" What a strange thing! Wu Erniu said: "In these years, there is nothing strange, I heard that a big living person fell in his own water tank and drowned." The brother and sister talked a little more, and then went into the house. Fang Guohuan was very uneasy at this time, and decided to go into the city early tomorrow morning to find out, and stayed awake all night until dawn.

Early the next morning, Fang Guochuan got up early, used some tea and rice indiscriminately, and then got up and put three taels of silver books on the table, and said to the old man: "Old man, thank you for staying overnight last night, a little silver book is not a tribute, and the right is for food and lodging." ”

When the old man saw it, he pushed it back and said: "If the hospitality is not good, the guest officer should not be so polite, it really makes the old man feel uneasy, or ......" At this time, Wu Erniu's brothers and sisters came over, and Wu Erniu glanced at the silver book on the table, and hurriedly interjected: "Dad, this is some of the meaning of people's official letters, if you don't accept it, won't you brush off the sincerity of the official letter." ”

The old man then said: "The guest officer is so generous, and the old man will be disrespectful." Fang Guochuan smiled: "It should be." Then he gave his hand away, and the old man sent him out.

When the old man came back, he saw Wu Erniu watching the silver book happily, but he shook his head and said, "Dad, you are really, when you meet this broad master, why don't you entertain you with big fish and meat?" And not to mention this mere three taels of silver books. ”

When the old man heard this, he said angrily: "I don't know what to do, this has been in the store for two or three days, and I ...... it when I got it cheap How did I know he was so generous as a single guest. After speaking, he stepped forward and snatched the silver book from Wu Erniu's hand, turned around and went inside. The young girl shook her head freely.

Fang Guohuan entered Xuzhou City, knowing that the chess murder case that occurred yesterday afternoon would be tried today, so he inquired all the way to the Yamen of Xuzhou Mansion to find it. On the way, I saw someone talking about it, and rushed to see the excitement. When Fang Guohuan walked in front of the yamen of Xuzhou Mansion, the case had not yet been tried at this time, but it was already crowded, which showed that the case was a big sensation.

Fang Guohuan listened to the discussion of the surrounding crowd, but he also understood a general idea. It turned out that there were two martial artists in this Xuzhou city, one was called Xue Yong, and the other was called Wang Guofu, who had a quarrel because of the chess dispute when playing chess, and then made a big fight, not only the two fought each other to death, but also killed three apprentices who came up to persuade them to fight, resulting in a murder tragedy. Fang Guohuan was shocked and said: "For the sake of the chess dispute, how would you use swords and guns so much? Incredible! ”

At this time, a cry came, and I saw three women with filial piety, dragging their children and daughters, crying and kneeling outside the yamen, holding the paper in their hands, and crying out for grievances. An old man shook his head and sighed, "Poor! Wretched! The master killed the apprentice, and the apprentice's wife and children came to complain, what kind of sin did this create? Then two servants came out of the yamen, and took the pleadings of the three women, apparently to open the trial of the case.

Seeing that there was such a bloody case in chess, Fang Guohuan was extremely puzzled, so he squeezed to the front of the crowd to see what was going on.

At this time, in the palace, there was a row of tigers and wolves on each side, and an official sat on the big bar, and two seats were set up next to it, and one sat the book holding the record, and the other seemed to be sitting next to him and watching the trial.

When Fang Guohuan saw that person at a glance, he couldn't help but be happy, it turned out that this person was a bar owner named Zhang Linping in Heba, who had known this person in the bloody battle of Tianyuan outside Dushikou Pass in the past. Fang Guolian knew that this Lin Ping was the owner of the Xuzhou branch of the bar, and for some reason he would sit in the public bar and read the official trial book.

At this time, the official was startled, and the servants and the people outside the yamen were immediately silent.

The official said, "The person who passed on the witness to the scene of yesterday's bloodbath." "With a Han book, it was led to the public by the servants.

The Hanshu knelt down and kowtowed, "Xiaomin Song Qian has seen adults. The official said, "Song Qian, this official asked you, were you at the scene of the crime yesterday?" Have you witnessed the whole bloodbath? ”

Song Qian said: "Lord Hui, Xiaomin is Master Xue Yong's apprentice, yesterday, yesterday Xiaomin was at the scene, and I saw everything that happened." As he spoke, Song Qian's face was frightened, obviously still having lingering feelings about what happened yesterday.

The official nodded and said, "Song Qian, since you are at the scene of the crime, you should tell the truth about everything you saw yesterday, and you must not be mixed with falsehoods." Song Qian hurriedly responded: "The villain doesn't dare to say anything." ”

That Song Qian relieved his mind and said: "Yesterday afternoon, Xiao Min and Li Hai, Zhao Fei, and Xu Shutao, the three junior brothers, practiced martial arts for a while with Xue Yong and Wang Guofu, and then the two masters asked Xiao Min and the three junior brothers to practice in the courtyard book, and the two of them returned to the room to play chess. The two masters were addicted to chess and had to play several games every day, but the two masters were short-tempered and often quarreled over winning or losing on the chessboard. Somehow? The two masters had another argument over the game of chess yesterday afternoon, and they went out together to find cold water to drink. Senior Brother Zhao Fei conveniently brought a bucket of water to the two masters to drink. After drinking a few sips of water, the two masters scolded each other, and then they moved their hands and fought in one place with their swords. At this time, Zhao Fei, Li Hai, and Xu Shutao stepped forward to dissuade them, never thinking that the two masters would kill red-eyed and kill indiscriminately. Master Xue Yong killed Senior Brother Zhao Fei with a single sword, and Master Wang Guofu stabbed Senior Brother Li Hai to death with a single sword. Senior Brother Xu Shutao saw that things were not good and wanted to escape, but before he could leave, he was cut off by Master Xue Yong. Then the two masters killed each other, each with a few blades. Speaking of this, Song Qian was already in a cold sweat, and he sighed. The servants on the bar and the people closer to the yamen were terrified when they heard this, and Fang Guolian's heart was also terrified.

The official shook his head and sighed at this time, and asked Song Qiandao again: "This official asks you, where were you at the time of the crime?" Song Qian responded: "Back to my lord, Xiaomin was making tea in the kitchen at that time, and suddenly saw the two masters going crazy and slashing indiscriminately, so frightened that they hid in the kitchen and did not dare to come out, and luckily escaped their lives. ”

When the official heard this, he nodded and said, "Except for you who witnessed all this at the scene, didn't anyone else see it?" ”

Song Qianying said: "Back to my lord, yesterday at noon, the two masters and wives met and went to the street, but they were not at home, only a maid named Qiufeng from Master Guofu's house also saw him in the house. When the official heard this, he said, "Pass the girl around Qiufeng." ”

Immediately, a seventeen-year-old girl knelt on the bar, crying, frightened by yesterday's tragedy. The official was shocked and said, "Above the public bar, you are not allowed to cry, Qiu Feng, you will tell the truth about everything you saw yesterday." ”
