Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 22 What Can't Be Figured Out (Part II)

When this unsuccessful siege at night had just come to an end, Xi Yuanxiu and the others felt a little tired, and they were just about to go out to take a breath, just to dilute the smell of blood on their bodies!

At this time, someone in the backyard suddenly exclaimed: Lao Sun is dead!

It can be regarded as the gambling house owner Lao Sun committed suicide in this game, and Lao Sun's death is very interesting, swallowing a belly of mercury dice alive to support him.

This news made Liu Xiao's expression a little better at that time, whether it was because of this siege or because of the silver he had lost here before!

When Lao Sun was carried out in the backyard of the casino, the expression on his face was not particularly painful, and he looked enjoying it, as if he had swallowed a panacea.

The group of people who received the bounty silver were casually placed next to the hat man, and the two were embarrassed, and they could be together even if they died, which was indeed a good joke.

And Jia Daya, who is also in this game, is like evaporating from the world. Disappeared out of thin air!

Bian Ying went to inquire about the guys in Xinghuayuan, as well as his fox friends and dog friends, of course, he was coerced and lured by his friends, but no one knew where he went.

Even his favorite box of toothpicks was still left in the Xinghua Courtyard, pressing under his somewhat dirty mattress that he hadn't had time to change into.

Liu Xiao squinted his eyes, looking at the corpses that had already vomited several times, he felt that these people should quickly find a place to bury them.

Especially the one who was directly stabbed into the throat by Xi Yuanxiu, his eyes were like bells, in fact, the main reason for Liu Xiao was because it was time to have breakfast in another hour!

Xi Yuanxiu slowly squatted on the ground, looking at Lao Sun and the hat man lying side by side, he stared at Lao Sun's face for a while, then shook his head, sighed, wiped Lao Sun's eyes with excitement with his hand, and then Lao Sun completely closed his eyes!

Xi Yuanxiu pulled the veil of the hat man with his hand again, he still wanted to try to lift the veil, it seemed that there was the truth he wanted behind the veil!

Finally, under Liu Xiao's repeated strong requests, it was decided to put these corpses here first, and wait for dawn to check them out.

Liu Xiao was not so stupid, and he also asked His Royal Highness to offer the king, but everyone really couldn't resist this fat man, Xi Yuanxiu agreed, and then the four of them went back to the county office.

And Liu Xiao, who returned to the county office, felt that eating was not so important and should be put aside, because there was really nothing in his stomach.

After he said goodbye to Li Yuanhuan, he went back to the house to rest.

And the remaining three people in the second hall are waiting for the dawn, because when the day is dawn, they can see clearly!

Bian Ying saw that the two people sitting on the upper seat did not speak, and he didn't know how to speak.

He looked at his Royal Highness, and felt that His Royal Highness's martial arts were a little higher, although it was behind his back, but he chopped the hat man to death with one palm, and he thought that His Highness's light skills were also refined, and the man didn't notice it at all, and he was sincerely happy for His Highness!

Xi Yuanxiu looked at Bian Ying, knowing what he was thinking, he was also thinking about this, and thinking about more things!

After the three of them were silent for almost half an hour, the sky was finally dawning, Xi Yuanxiu didn't ask Li Yuanhuan what he was doing here, but said, "Why don't we go have a meal first?" ”

......

......

As soon as the sky was bright, the stalls on the street had already been erected, half an hour earlier than usual!

Now the people in the whole city know about the closure of the Sunzi Gambling House, and the rumors on the street are also different.

"Have you heard, this old grandson let people smash the store, and the person is dead, and the murderer has not been found!"

"No, I heard that he had a fight with a few outsiders, and in the middle of the night, there were seven or eight dead people lying at the door of Lao Sun!"

"No, no, it was Lao Sun who hacked Lord Xi's money, and then committed suicide after being discovered!"

Anyway, a group of people are gossiping, making the whole street more lively than someone marrying a new daughter-in-law!

Xi Yuanxiu and the three of them were in the morning shop, and they didn't react when they heard these words, Xi Yuanxiu was just silently drinking the porridge in his bowl.

Maybe it's because Xi Yuanxiu just came from Chang'an at that time, and he wasn't used to eating breakfast in Yangzhou, so he often drank porridge, so this shop would specially prepare it for Xi Yuanxiu every time, and today was no exception, although sometimes he wouldn't come!

After drinking the last mouthful of soup, Li Yuanhuan hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke: "Brother, how much have you found in the illegal salt case now?" ”

Xi Yuanxiu glanced at Bian Ying, who was wiping his mouth, and Bian Ying hurriedly shook his head, saying that this matter had nothing to do with him, and he didn't tell King Xian!

Li Yuanhuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene, and after Bian Ying heard it, he lowered his head.

Xi Yuanxiu put down the bowl in his hand, looked at Li Yuanhuan and said, "Your Highness's news is very spiritual!" ”

"My brother is not bad, and his ability to teach students is still the same as back then!" After Li Yuanhuan said this, Bian Ying's head was buried even lower.

When he was in Chang'an City, Xi Yuanxiu could also make several little princes obedient with a single look, and to this day, he still seems to have not changed like this, and those who have been with him for a long time will naturally listen to him!

Xi Yuanxiu seemed to smile with some satisfaction, but he didn't seem to be very satisfied, because this sentence was half good and bad, and he still had to answer Li Yuanhuan, because he was a king, not his own student.

"Back to Your Highness, the lower officials have not found many things, and I just found that there is a carriage carrying salt into the city, but I don't know where to go!"

Li Yuanhuan asked again: "Didn't my brother find any trace later?" ”

Xi Yuanxiu shook his head, looked at the crowded streets outside, and said, "It's like I didn't enter the crowd." ”

......

......

After eating, the three of them came to Lao Sun's gambling house again, and the whole quite good field was ruined beyond recognition by last night's fight.

Xi Yuanxiu looked at the table that was cut off by Bian Ying last night, and there was still half of the table left, and suddenly asked the two people behind him: "You said that this is really from Chang'an, just to kill me, I really can't imagine who it will be, what does Your Highness think!" ”

Li Yuanhuan rubbed the jade bead on his waist, pondered for a moment, and said, "But my father's..."

He was suddenly silent, because even if he didn't say it, he knew that what he was going to say was a mirage!

Xi Yuanxiu said with a smile: "Naturally not, if it's a mirage, why do you want to release me to this day, it seems that I still made too many enemies in Chang'an back then, forget it, let's continue to look for useful clues!" ”

The three of them checked in the gambling house for a long time, but they didn't find anything, so they had to go back the same way!

After returning to the county office, Li Yuanhuan told Xi Yuanxiu that he was going to take Bian Ying back to Yangzhou, and now that no one is by his side, some things are indeed not easy to do!

Xi Yuanxiu was not surprised, King Xian naturally knew Xi Yuanxiu's attitude now, but he still didn't understand why a favored prince had to get involved with the son of a criminal like himself.

Bian Ying, on the other hand, felt a little reluctant, he felt that if he stayed here for a while, his martial arts would improve, but His Highness had spoken, and there was no way.

The two said goodbye to Xi Yuanxiu, and when they left, Li Yuanhuan asked Xi Yuanxiu to pass on the news to him as soon as he had news, Xi Yuanxiu promised to come down, and watched the two of them ride away, just like Zhou Wenbin that day, and ran to Yangzhou!

And the first pigeon of the county government came today, Xi Yuanxiu took the letter and fed a few soybeans as usual, and this pigeon also stayed by the window obediently, waiting for his next trip!

When Xi Yuanxiu saw the content of the letter, he suddenly realized and touched its head happily, but the little guy didn't seem to like his action very much, so he retracted his head and protested, Xi Yuanxiu didn't care very much, took out a piece of paper and wrote it on it, tied it to his legs, and let it go.

He saw the letter he wrote last night, whistled, called the little gray pigeon, and tied it to his legs, it knew that it was going to fly far again, so he ate all the soybeans in Xi Yuanxiu's hand, there were not so many good things on the road!

Xi Yuanxiu didn't sleep all night, simply washed his face, left a note on Liu Xiao's table, and went back to the house and fell asleep.

......

......

Liu Xiao is in a very bad mood now, because when he woke up, he saw what Xi Yuanxiu explained, and he went to find Aunt Hao, and it was not too sad to find Aunt Hao, although she loved to talk about it. But what is written on the paper is the dog who went to Aunt Hao's house to watch her, where the dog goes, where does he go!

Although it is very reluctant, there is no way, after all, you have to take money from others every month, eat people's soft mouths, and take people's hands short.

In order to avoid the incident last night, Liu Xiao locked the door of the yamen before leaving, anyway, there was nothing to do, he glanced at the stone lion that was left alone, and said seriously: "Please!" ”

After passing through seven alleys and eight alleys, Liu Xiao finally came to the door of Hao Daniang's house, and he was panting and thinking that not only would he stop gambling in the future, but he would also lose weight.

He looked at the half-open wooden door, and knocked a few times, but no one came out, so he crept in, and searched inside and outside the house, but there was no shadow of anyone.

He thought for a while that he didn't come to find Aunt Hao, he came to find a dog, and when he figured it out, he started to look for a dog, and he didn't go to the yard in the house, and if he didn't have the yard, he went to the alley, and if he didn't have it, it was the whole city!

At dusk, Xi Yuanxiu got up on the bed in a hazy way, after coming for so many years, he still felt that the kang in Chang'an was comfortable to sleep, he was thinking about the hot buttocks, and a head stuck out of the window, startling him!

"Did Lord Xi sleep well?"

It's no one else, it's Liu Xiao who just came back from looking for a dog outside, he was very angry, the dog didn't stop at all, he didn't understand that the dog was running out with so much hair, did he feel bald and proud?

Xi Yuanxiu knew that he didn't run away as soon as he saw his appearance, but when he thought that there was still a period of time, he didn't make fun of him as usual, but said with a little warmth: "Thank you for your hard work, master!" ”

Liu Xiao didn't know how to answer, originally he wanted to say that he didn't want to do it, but after Xi Yuanxiu said this, he was a little unaccustomed to it, so he only nodded!

"Then the master will continue tomorrow?"

"Roll"
