Lu Hong saw that Liu Ximing's face became cloudy, and his heart became up and down again.

He glanced at Li Biao and Wei Jingguo, who were standing at the door like door gods, and then at the short-handled firearms they held in their hands, and couldn't help but swallow.

"Say whatever you want, don't worry, today's words will come out of your mouth and into my ears, and no other outsiders will know."

Liu Ximing was a little impatient with Lu Hong's hesitant appearance, so he simply threw him another reassuring pill.

Maybe it was his words that played a role, Lu Hong finally spoke: "Master, the little one doesn't know much, don't blame you for making a mistake." ”

Liu Ximing waved at him disappreciatively.

"Because it involves showing talent and being fair, I remember this matter more clearly."

Lu Hong tried hard to reminisce and said: "At that time, someone came to the mansion to spread the word, saying that the students in the county school fell to their deaths in Yicui Building, and asked us to send someone to clean it up. At that time, I also scolded the man, and the people in the county town asked our government to do something. ”

"Who knows that it didn't take long for the master of Futai to give an order, asking me to take someone to carry the body back."

Lu Hong looked up at Liu Ximing, and saw that he was still expressionless, so he had to continue: "Later, the little one brought someone to bring people back, and Zhao Minglun, the official of the government office, only arrested a few old bustards and turtles in Yicui Building and questioned them, and then directly closed the case. ”

Liu Ximing couldn't help but interrupt him: "Why did Fuzun give the order directly, do you know?" ”

Lu Hong shook his head, his eyes were slightly confused, "This kind of thing is not something that the little ones inquire about. ”

Liu Ximing frowned, he originally thought that Zhao Minglun should know something, but now it seems that he is just the person who was pushed to the front desk to deal with things, and the person behind it should not be him.

The key is that Bao Xiuneng, the prefect of Chongzhen for four years, has already left office, and I heard that he has gone to Fujian to take up a post, isn't this a clue broken again.

"Who were the old bustards, turtle princes and others summoned at that time?"

Liu Ximing thought about it carefully, and asked a little unwillingly grasping the last clue.

"It's Mother Li, Xiaocui, and Zheng Yuan from Yicui Building...... These people. ”

Lu Hong's words were not burdened.

Liu Ximing nodded thoughtfully, thought about it, there should be nothing missing, and stood up directly.

"Okay, Li Biao, take this Lu Bantou out and see the reward of five taels of silver."

"Thank you Liu Ye, thank you Liu Ye", Lu Hong didn't expect Liu Ximing to be so generous, and he actually gave back the reward, and his face instantly became extremely flattering.

Seeing Li Biao walking out of the courtyard with Lu Hong, Dou Yuquan pushed the door in, "How are you asking?" ", he asked Liu Ximing.

Liu Ximing analyzed the information in Lu Hong's words again, "Let's go to Yicui Tower in two days to have a look." He has no other clues now.

Dou Yuquan reminded instead: "Lu Zhenghao can't

There is only such a backhand, and we have to be careful. ”

"Jingguo", Liu Ximing was awakened by Dou Yuquan's words, and immediately called Wei Jingguo in, "Arrange a sentry at night, let the brothers pay more attention." ”

When the evening is on.

Not long after the street watch, a string of black shadows appeared on Konger Street.

The men were dressed in black night walkers and were carrying something in their hands.

When they touched the range of the Liu family's shop, a few of the men in black suddenly found out the fire fold and desperately wanted to ignite it.

However, before they could make the next move, a sound came from the rooftops of the houses along the street.

"Huh"

The top of the houses on Konger Street suddenly became bright, and dozens of torches were thrown from the rooftops onto the street at once, and the sound of torches hitting the stone slabs made the hearts of many black-clothed people on the street tremble.

"Shooting"

Almost at the same time that the torches landed, there was another shout from the roof.

"Bang", "Bang"

The Guards had already laid an ambush in the streets, and when they heard the order, dozens or hundreds of muskets were fired together.

As soon as the screams on the street sounded, the paving boards of several Liu family shops were unloaded at once, and dozens of guards armed with dragon and two styles rushed out of the shop and continued to shoot at the group of people still standing on the street.

"Boss, get out of here!"

A tall figure in the man in black shouted at a leader, accompanied by constant cries.

The leader ripped off the mask, and looked at the people of the pro-guard group with hatred in their eyes, not Feng Le during the day or anyone.

"The surname is Liu, Lao Tzu and you don't share the sky!"

The guards on the street didn't have time to listen to Feng Le's roar, seeing that dozens of people in black had been knocked down nearby, the guards on the street pulled out their bayonets and loaded them on their muskets, picked up their guns and began to advance forward.

The guards who came out from both sides of the street formed a herringbone formation, constantly forcing the remaining black-clothed people back, and gradually formed a one-line posture.

There was a forest of guns in front of them, and there was a rain of bullets overhead, and the gang of the Qingshan Gang finally couldn't stand it, and a group of people cried and shouted to their mothers and retreated while dodging with the help of obstacles such as the eaves of the street.

Although Feng Le scolded badly, he still had to retreat in a gray manner at this time.

The sound of gunfire and fighting on Konger Street had already woken up all the residents of the surrounding streets, but a group of people only dared to hide in the house and tremble, but no one dared to go out at this time.

Liu Ximing had already given an order to drive the enemy out of the street, and the guards only chased half a street before retreating back.

At this time, Liu Ximing also came to the street in person, "Hurry up and wipe the blood on the ground." ”

The purpose of his coming is to deal with the aftermath, after all, this is a capital city, and if he is not careful, he may leave a handle.

But Lu Zhenghao probably didn't expect that he had such an anti-heaven existence as space, Liu Ximing sneered in his heart while putting the corpses on the street into the space.

Without the need to collect the corpses, the action of the guards to clean up the street was much faster, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Konger Street returned to darkness again.

The surrounding residents were worried at home, for fear that thieves would come to the door, but they didn't expect that the night would calm down again in an instant.

Only then did the brave people take a ladder and look out from the wall, but there was nothing to see except in total darkness.

"Knock", "Knock", "Knock"

"Hurry up and open the door, the government will investigate the case, and if we don't open the door, we will hit the door."

Just after the hour, not long after Liu Ximing and the others withdrew to the Liu family's compound, there was a shocking knock at the gate of the courtyard.

There was a lot of noise outside the door, apparently a large group of people were coming.

Before Liu Xi could send someone to open the door, there was a bang, and these people broke into the door directly, and all the people who came in were officials with knives and sticks.

The man at the head was still wearing a cyan official uniform of a seven-rank civil official.

This man rushed into the courtyard with a group of officials, only to find that there were already dozens of men with knives standing in the courtyard at this time.

The civil official's face was extremely angry, and he shouted directly into the courtyard: "Shunqing Mansion is handling the case, why don't you open the gate, do you want to resist the law?" ”

"Shangguan is not strange, it is really a little scary to make such a show in the middle of the night, and it is too late."

Liu Ximing deliberately walked out of the main house with his coat on, and at the end he pretended to yawn.

"Hmph", the civil official snorted coldly, pointing to a group of guards in the courtyard, "Just rush at you for illegal possession of weapons, and this official can take you down and come." ”

"In"

"Wait" Liu Ximing hurriedly opened his mouth to stop this Tie Hanhan, he blinked his eyes and saw that Lu Hong was also among the officials, and immediately knew that this guy didn't say a word to the yamen in order to protect himself, otherwise this official would still hit the muzzle of the gun.

"Shangguan is angry, dare to ask Shangguan's name, the students are students of this mansion, and they have always been law-abiding", Liu Xi pointed at the pro-guard regiment as if casually, "As for these, they are all officers and soldiers of Baoningwei, and Shangguan wants to order them to hide weapons privately, I'm afraid something is wrong." ”

"Hmph, clever words."

The civil official snorted coldly again, his face was full of frost, "Zhao Minglun, the official of the official government, there are loud gunshots tonight, and someone accuses you of intending to rebel and kill good people, so come with me to the mansion and talk about it." ”

Liu Ximing looked aggrieved, "Wronged, Zhao Tuiguan, I am a dignified talent, who believes me if I rebel." I also heard the shouts of killing, which made people vigilant, and I was about to report to the police. ”

Fortunately, Lao Tzu had the foresight to put away all the muskets in advance.
