Volume 1 Young and frivolous and more sword fights Chapter 120 The Aftermath of the Catastrophe
After experiencing the hardships and hardships after the explosion, the relationship between Xu Ming'er and Zhu Youzhen seems to have narrowed a lot, and with the previous crispy skin-to-skin kiss, the estrangement in Xu Ming'er's heart has also melted away.
Although Zhu Youzhen didn't respond to her words, Xu Ming'er didn't bother anymore, since he said that he was still young, what did it matter if he waited a few more years.
Zhu Youzhen looked at these two flower-like girls, and felt a joy of escaping death in his heart, although he was injured in many places, but compared with the grief in the square, what is the pain?
Seeing that Zhu Youzhen was fine, Jinxiu put aside Zhu Youzhen and Xu Ming'er whispering, Xu Ming'er peeked at Zhu Youzhen from time to time, Zhu Youzhen just smiled, it seems that what they said must be related to themselves.
After just a while, I saw Luo Sigong come over with those people from the lion dance team, but the people he brought were not only the ones who performed on the stage before.
In addition to the gong and drummer, the people of this lion dance team were all dressed up on the stage before, so Zhu Youzhen couldn't recognize any of them, but one of them, Gao Sheng and Gao Han, recognized it.
Gao Sheng stretched out his hand and pointed at one of them: "Your Highness, this is the person who gave us the news that he saw you buried under the rubble. ”
Zhu Youzhen nodded and looked at the man: "Oh? Are you also on the lion dance team? ”
The person who was pointed at by Gao Sheng heard that Gao Sheng called His Royal Highness, but he didn't know which His Royal Highness this son was, and he didn't know what to call for a while, so he had to say: "Little boy, the villain is not a lion dance team, the villain is just a hunter in Gaolizhuang, because he has seen the son answer the question in the square before, so he knows the little boy, and when the lantern eaves corridor exploded, the villain happened to see the little boy jumping down from the stone railing, so he said those words to the strong man." ”
Zhu Youzhen looked at Luo Sigong with some puzzlement when he heard this, and asked, "Since he is not from the lion dance team, why did Luo Dudu bring him here?" ”
"Your Highness, this person happened to be there when the lowly official sent someone to arrest the lion dance team, but he was just ......"
"Just what?"
"It's just that the shaman and a lion dancer that His Highness said ran away?" , Luo Sigong said apologetically.
Zhu Youzhen frowned and said, "Ran away?" No one knew about this in advance, so how could they run away? ”
Without waiting for Luo Sigong to answer, Zhu Youzhen looked at the leader of the lion dance team and asked, "Who are you?" Why do you want to commit murder at a temple fair? ”
As soon as they heard Zhu Youzhen's words, the entire lion dance team, along with the Orion Hulala, all knelt down and exclaimed, "Master, the villains have been wronged." ”
Seeing the chaos in front of them, and everyone said different things in their mouths, Zhu Youzhen said impatiently: "Shut up." Then he pointed to the leader of the lion dance team and said, "You get up and talk first." ”
"It's the master, the villain is capable of the lion dance style of Gaolizhuang, every year on the festive day, the villain will lead the lion dance team to perform everywhere, this temple fair villain will come every year, but I didn't expect this year's temple to have such a thing."
"Let me ask you, what about the shaman?"
The man trembled and said, "The villain, the villain doesn't know. ”
Zhu Youzhen said with a fierce look: "You don't know? There were so many dead and wounded people at this temple fair today, and you actually told me that you don't know? You may be able to relate to the souls of the countless dead? ”
When the man heard this, he immediately knelt down again, kowtowed and said, "Master, the villain is wronged, it's all because the villain is greedy for money for a while, the two shamans and wizards were not from our lion dance team originally, but the man came to us last night and said that he wanted to think about it."
Join us and follow the blessings, the villain is unwilling, but ...... But the man gave the villain five hundred taels of silver, saying that he just wanted to perform together on stage, the villain tried the skills of the two of them, and the performance on stage was also said in the past, plus the villain had never seen so much silver in his life, and he should be fascinated for a while, which Cheng thought that the two would take the opportunity to commit murder. ”
Zhu Youzhen said: "How do you make me believe your words? ”
The man hurriedly said: "Master, these people can testify for the villain, what the villain said is true, if there is half a lie, the villain will not die." The team leader said and took out five silver tickets of one hundred taels from his arms and hurriedly handed them over, and then continued: "This silver ticket is given to the villain by the man, and the villain has not had time to share it with other people, and they are all here." ”
Zhu Youzhen couldn't move at this time, Gao Sheng stepped forward to take the silver ticket and looked at it, and said to Zhu Youzhen: "It's the silver ticket of Rishenglong." ”
Zhu Youzhen motioned for Gao Sheng to hand the silver ticket to Luo Sigong, and then said, "Go and check the origin of this silver ticket." ”
Luo Sigong took the silver ticket and glanced at it and said: "These five silver tickets are all bearer and paid at sight, I'm afraid I won't find out what the results are." ”
As soon as he heard Luo Sigong's words, the leader of the lion dance team was busy kowtowing and said: "Master, what the villain said is true, the villain is an ordinary person in Gaolizhuang, and his ancestors have been in Gaolizhuang for generations, even if he is up to the three generations of the villain's ancestors, he can't earn so much silver." Saying that, the man hurriedly pulled the Orion who was kneeling next to him and said, "If you don't believe it, you can ask him, I grew up in Gaolizhuang with him, and he can prove that what the villain said is true." ”
The Orion was also a little scared when he saw this battle, because he didn't know the identity of the person in front of him, and he was even more panicked in his heart, afraid that he would offend the nobleman by saying the wrong thing, but when he saw the eyes of the leader of the lion dance team asking for help, he had to bite the bullet and say: "The villain can testify that what he said is true." ”
At this time, Zhu Youzhen looked at this Orion again, although this Orion only provided some news to Gao Sheng, but if there was no news, Gao Sheng would delay for a while, I am afraid that he and Xu Ming'er would be unable to save their lives, so this person can be regarded as his life-saving benefactor.
Zhu Youzhen didn't care about this Orion's words, he had already believed the words of the lion dance team leader before, so he asked again: "Since you are not from the lion dance team, why were you brought by them?" ”
The Orion said: "Back to the little boy's words, the villain and they are all from Gaolizhuang, it is my brother's light that I was fortunate to enter the big theater to watch the play, and then something happened, the villain and the brothers of the lion dance team went to help save people, and then the officials came, and we left, the villain wanted to go back to Gaolizhuang with them, and when he was packing up his things, he was brought by these big masters." ”
Zhu Youzhen nodded when he heard this, "Since it has nothing to do with you, you can leave by yourself." ”
When the hunter heard this, he glanced at the leader of the lion dance team beside him and got up to leave.
Just as the hunter turned around, Zhu Youzhen shouted, "Wait." ”
The hunter was frightened in his heart, and immediately turned around and knelt down, and shouted in his mouth, "The lord spares his life, it really has nothing to do with the villain." ”
Zhu Youzhen looked at the appearance of this hunter and felt a little funny, and said: "This son didn't want to do anything to you, but no matter what you say, you saved my son's life." Zhu Youzhen looked at Luo Sigong and said, "Since the source of these silver tickets can't be found, then reward him." ”
When the Orion heard this, he kowtowed and said, "The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare." ”
Luo Sigong handed over the silver ticket and said, "If you take it, you will take it, twist and twist like a girl." ”
The man had no choice but to take the silver ticket and kowtow again and again to thank him.
Zhu Youzhen didn't care about him anymore, and continued to ask the leader of the lion dance team: "Since those two suspects have found you, do you know where they came from?" ”
The team leader said: "The villain really doesn't know, and the villain also asked, but the man only said that he came from the north, and did not say where he came from, and since they found the villain last night, they basically didn't say anything except to practice with us." ”
"Then let me ask you, how can you have shaman props in your lion dance team?"
"Master Hui, this thing is not from our lion dance team, but the man bought it himself at the temple fair, and only the lion head on the other person who came with the person is from our lion dance team. The villain also said that he would let the man wear a martial artist costume to dance the hydrangea, but he preferred to wear a mask, and it was useless for the villain to persuade him, since the people gave out the money, the villain could only agree, not to mention that it was not a big deal to bring a mask. ”
Zhu Youzhen continued to ask, "Do you know when those two escaped?" ”
The leader of the lion dance team pondered for a moment and said: "The previous performance in the square was that the two disappeared for a while, and we waited for a long time without seeing them and went back to the theater first, and then the two appeared before the explosion, and the villain didn't pay attention to the two people when they found a secluded place to go out." Later, there was an explosion outside, and when the villain led everyone out to save people, the two were gone, and when we went back, there were only the props that the two used to perform, oh yes, and the things that the two were carrying when they came. ”
"What's that?"
After Zhu Youzhen finished asking, without waiting for the team leader to answer, a brocade guard behind Luo Sigong came to Zhu Youzhen with a few things in his hand, in addition to a lion head and a shaman mask, there was also a white tiger skin.
The brocade guard who was holding something in his hand whispered a word in Zhu Youzhen's ear, Zhu Youzhen frowned, and said suspiciously: "And the fire gun?" ”
The brocade guard nodded.
"Now that the Ordnance Bureau is investigating very strictly, and all the barracks and guards are investigating very strictly, how did the two get the gunpowder and firearms? Maybe find out where the fire bolt came from? ”
Luo Sigong said: "There are many firearms in the Beizhen Mansion Division, but they have been inspected by their officials, and this firearm did not flow from there, each firearm is engraved with a number, and the number on this firearm has long been worn away, and the traces have been worn off before the smuggling of firearms in Beijing." ”
Zhu Youzhen said with some displeasure: "In this way, you can't find anything?" ”
Luo Sigong was quite helpless, and didn't know how to reply for a while.
Just when Luo Sigong was embarrassed, the hunter who had won five hundred taels of silver opened his mouth at this time and said, "Little boy, the villain should know where this thing came from." ”
Luo Sigong saw that even the Jinyi guards couldn't find out that this Orion actually spoke wildly, which greatly lost his face, and couldn't help but scold: "You, a Orion, how can you know about the firebolt?" ”
When the hunter saw Luo Sigong's appearance, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak.
Zhu Youzhen, who was on the side, glanced at Luo Sigong dissatisfied, and then said to the hunter: "You go on." ”
The hunter peeked at Luo Sigong, and then said cautiously: "The villain doesn't know anything about the firecracker. ”
Luo Sigong heard that the hunter said that he didn't know about the firecracker, and said angrily: "Bold, since you don't know and dare to speak wildly, don't you think this is child's play?" Your Highness let you leave on your own, didn't you hear? ”
"Yes, yes, the villain will leave immediately." , and said that the Orion got up and was about to leave.
