Lang Yiqiu leaned close to his ear and said: "Han Donglang and Han Chenxing's child, his home is at the west gate of Chang'an, there is a low mountain nearby, and a ditch on the side of the mountain flows eastward, and the time when you picked up the child coincided with the time when Han Chenxing gave birth, which happened to be three months." There is no doubt that it was Han Donglang's wife and concubine who wanted to murder the child. And you're the boss of the beggar gang. ”

The stranger hurriedly shook his hand and said: "You recognize the wrong person, I am not the boss of the beggar gang, the boss of the beggar gang that Xiao Bing said just now is two words with the same pronunciation but completely different meanings, I am the boss of the herb Nepeta, and the alias of this herb in Qionglong City is called the Mustard Gang, so people call me the boss of the Mustard Gang." ”

Lang Yiqiu said happily: "Whether you are the boss of the beggar gang or the boss of the mustard gang, as long as you are an upright and kind person, jealous and hateful, and patriotic, I would be happy to make friends with you, but I don't know if you are willing?" ”

The stranger said happily: "It is my hobby to make good friends, and making friends is one of the great pleasures of my life, as long as you don't dislike me, how can you refuse." It seems that I am Gao Pan, and I will have a light meal here at noon. ”

Lang Yiqiu hurriedly said: "Thank you for accepting me, let's skip the meal!" I still have urgent things to do. Do you know about this tunnel? Why is there a tunnel outside the wall of Meng Chenyuan's pastry shop that leads to your wooden house? ”

The stranger hesitated for a while, looked at the distant mountain and said, "I also discovered it by accident, this tunnel leads directly to Meng Chenyuan Pastry Shop, it must be accidental!" After all, Meng Chenyuan came here from other places to deal in cakes, and this tunnel seems to be very ancient, looking at the shape and location of this mountain, I have been surveying for a period of time, maybe it was a refuge tunnel dug for the war in the past. ”

Lang Yiqiu hurriedly said: "I hope it is an ancient tunnel, not a tunnel dug by the criminal department in the future." Let's not discuss this for now. May I ask your honorable name, where is the house? Why do you spend your days in this cabin? ”

The stranger was about to say something, when he suddenly saw Zuo Anming coming, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Where did this guest come from, why did he come to my little-known cabin at the foot of the mountain?" ”

Lang Yiqiu continued: "He is my colleague, named Zuo Anming, the Shangzuo Sima in the Pingjiang Prefecture Official Office, maybe he came here looking for me." ”

Zuo Anming hurriedly said: "When I got a ladder and came back, I called you up but didn't hear from you, so I followed the ladder into the tunnel and kept groping around, but I didn't expect to meet you here." The old man's voice is a little familiar, but his appearance is unfamiliar, why is he holding a baby, is it your grandson? ”

Lang Yiqiu hurriedly said: "It's the child of Han Donglang and Han Chenxing, it's a long story, let's tell you a little bit first, just know it in your heart." As soon as someone gave birth to a child, he was abandoned, but he was rescued by the old man in front of him, and they took the baby to this cabin at the foot of the mountain to raise him in order to prevent the baby from being murdered again. ”

The stranger hurriedly interrupted: "Who is this child, we don't know at all, why do you conclude that it is the child of Han Donglang and Han Chenxing?" This matter is waiting for the people in your official office to investigate and collect evidence, and we can't just pick it up in the ditch at the west gate of Chang'an, and we can't confirm that it is Han Donglang's child, that would be too hasty. ”

Zuo Anming hurriedly said: "This kind old man is reasonable, let's go back to the official office to find Han Donglang to discuss together, and deploy the next step of the investigation operation, whether it is the child of Han Donglang and Han Chenxing, we must find conclusive evidence with sufficient convincing." ”

Lang Yiqiu hurriedly said: "It's exactly what I want, but this old man, the child, and the little soldier, must go with us to the Pingjiang Prefecture Government Office." Let's see if this child is related to Han Donglang. ”

The old man shook his hand and said, "For the safety of the baby, Xiaobing and I finally escaped everyone's eyes and hid here to raise the child, how can we risk going out and showing our heads?" What if all the work is wasted? Have you thought carefully about who will be responsible for the baby's safety? The baby is only three months old! ”

Zuo Anming continued: "Listening to your tone, it seems that you know who wants to kill the baby, you might as well simply tell us the answer, so as not to waste your time." ”

The stranger shook his head and said, "If I knew who the murderer was, why would I still hide here?" Just go and catch the murderer yourself, and arrest him, why bother living here without a meal, waiting for others to send us clothes and food! ”

Lang Yiqiu hurriedly said: "It sounds like there is no lack of reason, but I always feel a little outrageous, but I can't say anything, please report your home and name!" ”

The stranger smiled and said, "The little soldier has already told you just now, why waste saliva, if nothing else, I will prepare to feed the baby wheat flour paste." The creeps boiled water. ”

Zuo Anming blurted out: "Old man, although you have changed your appearance, your gait height and posture, especially the voice of your voice, have revealed your true identity, if I guess correctly, you are Han Chenxing's life-saving benefactor Lao Suo." "Thirty-nine

Xiao Bing hurriedly said: "He is Lao Suo, how do you know him?" He also has a nickname of the mighty rivers and lakes, called the boss of the beggar gang, the hero who robs the rich and helps the poor, I am sent by the beggar gang to assist the boss to raise the child together, originally lived in the beggar gang, because someone wants to assassinate the baby and the gang leader, we will survive in this hidden wooden house, and want to wait until the child reaches the age of one before returning to the beggar gang. ”

Zuo Anming stared at the stranger and asked, "You are a famous beggar gang boss, why do you want to change your appearance?" It's hard to do something unseemly, it's inconvenient to show your true face, and you don't dare to survive in the crowd, but hide at the foot of this mountain where no one is seen all day long and steal your life. ”

The little soldier shook his hand and said, "This person is wrong! Lao Suo's appearance is understandable, just because after rescuing the child, someone behind him followed and pursued, something splashed on Lao Suo's face, immediately the hot pain was unbearable, and he was disfigured in an instant, and the faces on both sides were burned extensively, very terrifying, if he saw his true face at night, I don't know how many people to be scared to death or scared away? ”

Lang Yiqiu hurriedly said: "It's daylight with the red sun shining now, we are not afraid of anything, if you can stand the test, tear off the mask, show your true face, let us see the power of the murderer, and then concentrate on working together to solve the case, bring the murderer to justice, and give you justice, how about it?" ”

The stranger sighed and said, "That's it, I have nothing to hide." Originally, I wanted to wait for Han Donglang to come to the door and tear off the skin again, and talk openly and honestly, but I didn't expect Han Donglang to find me, but I was grabbed by the two of you. After speaking, he reached out and slowly tore off a layer of skin.

Suddenly, he heard an oops, and the little soldier fainted in fright.

Lang Yiqiu hurriedly helped him up and held him down, and the little soldier slowly opened his eyes, let out a long sigh, and said honestly: "I was almost scared to death, Lao Suo only said that his face would scare people to death, and he had no choice but to change his face." I thought he was just talking and playing, making fun of me. Unexpectedly, the left side of the face was burned and blackened, and the right side of the face was burned into vertical stripes and yellowed. What the hell did the criminal throw in his face! ”

Zuo Anming approached his face to take a closer look, slowly straightened his waist and said, "The criminal poured alum oil on his face and was immediately burned. His entire face was ruined, and he didn't have an inch of good skin, and even if he was treated by a miracle doctor, it would be difficult to restore it to his original face. It looks really weird and scary, but fortunately he stated it in advance, otherwise, I would have been frightened to the ground, no wonder the young soldier fainted. This murderer will be arrested no matter what. ”

The stranger shook his hand and said, "Let's solve the case first and then talk about sentencing!" Otherwise, you'll put yourself in and won't be able to get out. All actions are under my command, and the real masterminds behind the scenes will no longer have to hide. ”

Lang Yiqiu asked in a low voice: "Lao Suo, could it be Han Donglang's original wife Miao Lingxiang who committed the crime, please tell us the truth, let's go to Han Donglang to discuss countermeasures, how about it?" ”

The little soldier interrupted: "Except for this bold Miao Lingxiang, who else dares to hurt the boss of the beggar gang!" ”

The stranger shook his head and said, "The case has not been thoroughly investigated, so you can't easily draw conclusions, and Han Donglang's mother is not a fuel-efficient lamp." ”

Zuo Anming asked: "How many objects do you suspect, please tell me frankly." ”

The stranger hurriedly shook his head and said, "I don't have anything to say for the time being, after all, I haven't gone to investigate in depth and detail myself." ”

Lang Yiqiu hurriedly said: "The baby is handed over to a credible person to raise, so we can concentrate all our experiences to investigate the case, and go straight to Han Donglang's Chang'an Mansion to confront Miao Lingxiang." ”

Zuo Anming hurriedly said: "In my opinion, it is more appropriate for the child to be raised by Meng Chenyuan and his wife, after all, they are relatives with relatives. Let's go in through the tunnel and go back to Meng Chenyuan's pastry shop, how about it? ”

The stranger shook his hand and said, "Xiaobing and I don't want to see Meng Chenyuan and his wife, this child is not suitable for Meng Chenyuan and his wife to raise, and I am not at ease." Because the customers in his store are too crowded, and there are many characters from three religions and nine ranks, the safety of the children will be threatened. I think it's more appropriate to let Chang'an's Zhuang Qianfu and his wife raise them, after all, he and Han Donglang have been friends of life and death for decades, and they know each other, I think it's trustworthy. ”

Lang Yiqiu nodded and said: "Well, I also agree, if Zhuang Qianfu and his wife don't have time to raise them, and one of his sisters Zhuang Qianmei can take a hand, who will send them to Chang'an Zhuang Qianfu Medical Center now?" ”

The stranger hurriedly said: "I don't worry about anyone, it is more appropriate for me and Wang Xiaobing to send it to Zhuang Qianfu Medical Center." I think they're going to take in Han Donglang's kids. ”
