Cao Shouzhen picked up Guo Hong and ran, and soon caught up with the crowd, he asked the two familiar Taoist boys, but they didn't know the reason, saying that it was because they heard someone shouting outside, so they ran out to see the excitement.

As everyone came out of the Taoist temple to the street, they saw that it was already crowded with people, and the sound was noisy, and most people didn't know what was going on.

At this time, shouts were faintly heard in the distance, and everyone crowded forward, and after a while, they came to the gate of Wang's Beppu.

The door was open, the seal affixed by the government had been torn off, and there was a shout of killing from inside, and Li Zheng was holding two fangmen at the door, preventing everyone from entering.

They explained over and over again, and their voices were hoarse: "The thieves in the county are arresting the thieves, and the villagers are also helping to stop them, don't let the thieves get away." ”

After half an hour, the shouting and killing gradually stopped, and then the shouting and scolding came from far and near, and several sergeants who caught the thieves escorted a young man out with a big tie, although this person was unkempt, but he was immediately recognized, it was Wang Yancheng, the eldest man of the Wang family.

Wang Yancheng was pushed out of the gate, and several sergeants pressed him to his knees on the shoulders, and because he kept scolding, he stuffed a piece of cloth into his mouth.

At this time, a robber officer in his fifties also walked out of the door, whispered a few words to Li Zheng, and then bowed his hand to the onlookers, and said: "Today, this official has to report, and I have taken Wang Yancheng, the criminal of the Wang family's extermination case, here, if you want to hear the trial, please carefully read the notice of the government in the past few days." ”

In ancient times, there was no such thing as a suspect in later generations, but it was only divided into fixed (yan) prisoners and unconvicted prisoners.

The decision is to complete the trial and review and wait for the punishment.

The robber officer said to Li Zheng again: "You let those people pack up their cards and follow me to the county." ”

Li Zheng hurriedly agreed, the robber arresters in the counties are generally filled by the shadow officials of the generals, whether they are martial arts or family background, they are not a little Li Zheng can afford to offend.

The robber officer glanced at Wang Yancheng, frowned, his expression was a little disgusted, he took a sip and shouted, "Take it away!" After speaking, he commanded his subordinates to escort the prisoners away.

The crowd of onlookers was taken by his might to get out of the way, and they talked a lot.

"Is it really Wang Dalang who killed his whole family? I don't know why? ”

"Looking at his young age, I can't imagine that his heart is so vicious!"

"Don't talk nonsense, I watched this kid grow up, how could he do such a thing!"

"Wait, let's see how the Zhou County Order is judged when the time comes!"

Guo Hong saw all this clearly, he knew that this matter was quite strange, Wang Yancheng was not bad, and he would not do such a disobedient thing.

Besides, this person had already left, but now he came back, there must be some reason for him to take the risk, Guo Hong felt that it might have something to do with the treasure map, and was determined to find out.

At this time, the crowd gradually dispersed, and Cao Shouzhen said: "It's really strange, that thief arrester has very high martial arts, Wang Yancheng has not yet come out of the division, he is not an opponent at all, where is the need to shout and kill for so long?" ”

Guo Hong nodded, looked around, and immediately found that there were two suspicious figures, but he didn't say anything, and pulled his senior brother to the side.

"Senior brother, did you see those two just now?"

Cao Shouzhen nodded and said, "It seems that he is a person in the rivers and lakes, either a ranger or a Jiangyang thief, and he appears here for some reason." ”

They turned the corner of the street and covered their faces with cloth into the back alley, and turned two times to the side wall of Wang's house, and said to the senior brother: "Maybe they chased and killed Wang Yancheng just now for another purpose, otherwise it shouldn't have taken so long!" My brother took me over the wall to take a look. ”

"Then you wait here first, and I'll go up first."

Cao Shouzhen was like a spirit ape, running more than a dozen steps, his right foot stretched forward and stepped on the wall, and then his body was almost attached to the wall.

I saw that his left leg followed up and kicked down the wall, and his body jumped up again with the help of force, his hands stretched out to hold the wall, and his arms were forced, and his right leg flew up and hung up.

This wall is four meters high, and it is not difficult for martial arts people who have practiced light skills to jump up!

Although the ancient light skills are not like the martial arts movies that jump five or six meters high, you can also climb a wall more than two people high with the help of pedaling!

In later generations, only the Wudang faction still circulated this kind of light skill, and it was displayed through "Douyin", which once caused a sensation.

Guo Hong is not tall enough, but the senior brother hangs down one leg, and he can still reach it after he jumps after running.

So the brothers and sisters all went up to the wall, and it was easier to jump down, and it was all mud and weeds, and the two of them landed one after another.

In ancient times, even the official roads were paved with loess, unlike concrete everywhere in later generations.

In the distance, Cao Shouzhen's leopard jumped up to the roof, and when he saw his master come in, he stood up, Cao Shouzhen shook his head at it, and the leopard sat down again.

This leopard is very humane, and now he can understand the master's instructions, Cao Shouzhen shook his head to tell it not to follow, and the meaning of the wind here.

Wang's Beppu is the ancestral inheritance, Wang Xianqiao from a practitioner step to the sky to become the master of the Nine Truths, he amassed wealth in a good way, and soon purchased a rich family business, passed to Wang Daoyuan's hands, has been quite large-scale.

The royal family has a lot of property, and the mansion is also very luxurious, from the perspective of the government, this is obviously overstepping, but this place is relatively remote, and no one has taken care of him.

This garden is not small, but it is much worse than the Suzhou gardens of later generations, Guo Hong saw a lot of blood stains along the way, which shows the tragedy of the day.

Guo Hong and the others explored privately, and sure enough, they found a passage hidden in the barren grass in a corner, with a stream outside and footprints with damp soil on the ground.

These footprints have not yet dried out, and they should have been left by Wang Yancheng.

Following the footprints all the way, I soon discovered something strange.

The robber sergeants who pursued Wang Yancheng left a messy footprint, and there were arrows only fired at the pillars, and some window lattices and corridor handrails also had knife marks.

Judging from these traces, they chased Wang Dalang in circles and passed through the courtyard in the center four times, which was very abnormal.

"Senior brother, if you were Wang Yancheng, would you be able to escape from the hands of those thieves for so long?" Guo Hong asked.

Cao Shouzhen shook his head: "They have an archer, even if the robber catcher doesn't make a move, it is impossible to run back and forth in front of the archer, otherwise he would have been shot down a long time ago!" ”

"So they behave like chasing ducks, and from these traces, the final destination is in the master's study here!"

The Wang family is different from He Fu, the background is much deeper, He Deng only started from his father's generation, and although Wang Xianqiao is also a nouveau riche, it has been passed down for four generations, and gradually transformed into a noble family, they often come into contact with dignitaries, and the layout of the house is also in line with the famous family, and it is very particular about feng shui.

Therefore, those who know the layout of this place can see it clearly at a glance.

The problem is that Guo Hong doesn't know anything about it.

"Finally, there is something you don't understand, now it's up to Senior Brother Mine!" Cao Shouzhen was triumphant.

He said that he took out a formation plate in the bag on his waist, and kept talking: "I learned the art of Kanyu from the fourth senior brother, and he said that after learning the talisman, he has been exposed to the way of nature, and the talisman is a kind of painting or font that records the natural Dao pattern in ancient times." ”

This array plate is composed of three concentric discs stacked from large to small, the smallest plate has Sinan, the middle plate is engraved with gossip, and the large plate is the heavenly stem and earth branch.

"This is the compass of Kanyu, Sinan can measure the direction at any time, the gossip to see the direction, and the sexagenary branch to measure the year, month and hour. What you usually have to practice is to use the Rokko technique to find out the birth gate in auspicious times. ”

PS: To put it mildly, there is no light skill flying around on TV in martial arts, otherwise world champions such as high jump, long jump, and sprint should be us Chinese. After practicing light skills, he is at most as flexible as Jackie Chan, and the bounce power cannot exceed the limit of the human body. The so-called cornices and walls are climbed with the help of flying claws, which is the same as rock climbing. Without the help of equipment, only Wudang Chen Shixing has performed on the Douyin to climb the wall more than four meters high (the wall has a slight slope), and there is a three-level jump down the nineteen-meter hillside, if you are interested, you can search it yourself.
