The news from the three brothers of Chang Yuchun is similar to the news from the secret service team. Now the focus is on the Juxiang gambling house in the east of the city.

Wang Laohu said: "Very good, now the news is relatively clear, that Liu Er has been fooling around in the Juxiang Gambling House in the east of the city, and the focus of our investigation is there." The three of you brothers are still going to Juxiang Gambling House today. Report to me as soon as there is a situation. ”

The three brothers of Chang Yuchun received the order.

When the three brothers walked out of the palace, Wang Laohu fell into deep thought. Although the news from the three brothers was similar to that of the secret service, it was clear that Qishun was deliberately avoiding something, or lying. On the day of the incident, Liu Er was stunned, obviously lost a lot of money, and went back late. But Qishun said that he lost a lot of money and went home early.

Why is that? What is he hiding? Why is he lying.

Lu Qingyi and the other three hurried to Hangzhou City.

On this day, they passed by a bamboo forest. This bamboo forest is very quiet, and the eyes are full of emerald bamboo. These bamboos, known as moso bamboos in the south, have thick stems, thin branches, sparse leaves, and are taller than straight.

From time to time there is a bird chirping around the forest, "cuckoo, cuckoo" This is the song of a cuckoo, which is more common in the south and is slightly larger. It hid in the branches of the bamboo forest and screamed happily.

Lu Qingyi said: "This forest, it seems that there are not many people walking, the ground is all covered with bamboo leaves, and this forest is not visible at a glance, Uncle Teng, we have to concentrate and be careful." ”

Lu Teng looked around, looked around vigilantly, and said, "Qingyi, Qingqing, it's very quiet here." Everyone be careful. ”

Qingqing held the sword in her hand and walked forward cautiously step by step.

The more careful I was, the more I felt that this forest was weird, and this forest was quiet and I could hear the rustle of the three people walking.

Listening to a few sounds of brushing the ground, more than a dozen masked people sprang out of the bamboo forest.

Lu Qingyi and the others formed a circle and showed a fighting state outward.

Lu Qingyi said: "Who is coming?" ”

The masked man did not speak. Each of them had swords in their hands and surrounded them directly. The encirclement is getting smaller and smaller.

Lu Teng took the lead in rushing out with his sword, and Lu Qingqing and Qingyi also raised their swords and broke out.

These masked people don't seem to be good people, all of them are good at kung fu, relying on the advantage of a large number of people, they broke Qingqing and other three-person groups in groups of three or four, and surrounded people in the circle one by one. Qingyi and the other three are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered in the circle.

Qingyi is not an ordinary person, I saw that although he was surrounded by four people, Qingyi was still in the initiative, and the sword formation of the four could not surround Qingyi. Although Lu Teng is old, his skill is far above Qingyi, and the black-clothed people on the periphery can be broken by him at any time, but the masked man is not an ordinary person, and he immediately gathered the formation and surrounded Lu Teng tightly in the formation. On the other hand, Lu Qingqing's kung fu is relatively weak, and she has had crises several times, but fortunately, she is clever and has been resolved by her.

Lu Qingyi not only has to take care of himself, but also often helps Qingqing solve crises.

In the bamboo forest, the withered bamboo leaves on the ground were driven by the palm gesture or sword qi of several people, and they were raised. Clothes of all colors came and went, and it was a fierce battle.

Lu Qingyi's sword qi was horizontal, his left foot rose, his right hand raised his sword, and brought down all the bamboo leaves next to him, this sword qi also forced several masked people, a masked man was injured by the sword qi, his hand trembled, and his movements slowed down significantly. Another masked man came up again, he stepped on the bamboo leaves, and took off into the air, and the sword qi covered Lu Qingyi. Lu Qingyi made a false move and avoided it. With his left hand, he struck out at him with sixty percent of his internal force, and the masked man leaned back to avoid it, and Shi saw a gust of palm wind floating above the masked man, hitting the bamboo branch, the bamboo branch was vibrate, and the green bamboo leaves fell from above.

The three masked men stabbed at Lu Qingyi again, and Qingyi had no choice but to jump forward in the air and jump out of the sword qi of the three of them. Where did the other masked man let you have free time, before Qingyi landed, he had already raised his sword and stabbed at Qingyi with force. Qingyi risked to Huansheng, sideways dodged the sword, his left hand condensed the internal force, ready to go, a masked man shouted, the sword came with the sound, stabbed at Qingyi, Qingyi blocked the sword qi with the sword, and at the same time used the force to send out the palm of the hand, the masked man groaned, fell to the ground in response, and spit blood in his mouth.

Qingqing has been forced by the masked man to retreat, the cloud of sword qi has surrounded Qingqing in a range, the sword in her hand only has the power to parry, and there is no way to fight back, Lu Teng saw Qingqing at this time, and wanted to break through the encirclement of the masked people immediately, helplessly, these masked people are well-trained people, and they did not let Lu Teng withdraw, Lu Teng had to shout, "Ahhh ”

The masked man still forced Lu Teng from all sides. I'm afraid this sword net can't be torn apart.

The masked man who was hit by Qingyi was obviously seriously injured, but not long after, he got up again, and the masked man pressed Lu Qingyi again, Lu Qingyi and Lu Teng were entangled, they became more and more anxious, and the more anxious they were, the easier it was to have problems, Lu Teng, a reckless man, was stabbed in the arm by the masked man with a sword, and the clothes outside were punctured, and a big hole was opened on the clothes, and blood flowed out of the arm.

Lu Teng covered the wound with his sword-carrying hand, and retreated while covering it, and the masked man was willing to forgive, pressing step by step.

All three are in danger.

Just as the masked men were taking a decisive victory, another masked team appeared. The masked team consisted of about a dozen people, each armed with a sword.

They joined the fighting team, and it was clear that the masked men were helping Lu Qingyi. Lu Qingqing's pressure was already very small, and he saw that there were masked people on the field, but the masked people later were all dressed up, and even their heads were tightly wrapped, and only two eyes were exposed. only heard the screams of someone, followed by the sound of falling to the ground and the sword falling to the ground, Lu Qingyi and the others and the additional masked people had already gained the upper hand on the scene.

In less than a pillar of incense, the masked people in front of them were wiped out.

Lu Qingyi was very grateful to the group of people in front of him, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Engong, thank Engong, save in the next family." ”

The masked man did not reply, and one of the masked men raised his hand, and the masked man behind him quickly disappeared into the bamboo forest.

Lu Qingqing said: "Brother, they are the ones who saved us last time!" ”

Lu Teng also realized: "Yes, yes, they, that's them." ”

After Lu Qingyi heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward again and said, "Engong, I saved us several times, but I don't know how to repay us." ”

The masked man turned his head, looked at the three people in front of him, and said: "The three are loyal and good, my son-in-law knows heroes and values heroes, let me wait to escort all the way to Hangzhou City, this is what I should do." The old hero had been wounded by his sword, so it was important to take him out of here and go to the town ahead to heal. ”

"Who is your son-in-law?" Lu Qingyi asked.

Before Lu Qingyi could finish asking, the masked man had already turned around and disappeared into the bamboo forest.

"Brother, what is the origin of these people, and since they help us, why don't they want to show up."

"Along the way, someone has helped us well, and they must have their own unspeakable addictions." Lu Qingyi said: "Don't talk about it, take Uncle Lu to heal first." ”

The county seat of Telly.

Wang Laohu came to the small dirt slope in the east of the city again, he looked carefully at the place where the goosefoot grass grew, imagining the scene of Liu Er's stunned being attacked that day, and the process of killing gradually became clear in his mind. But who committed the crime is still unknown? And the murder weapon that cut the throat, which has not yet been found.

And one more strange thing, why is there only a goosefoot grass growing in this place? Wang Laohu picked another place and told the guards to dig down, and the truth about the long grass was revealed. This kind of soil, Wang Laohu recognized. The secret of the goosepaw grass in this place turned out to be here. This kind of soil is called white mud, and this is a treasure.

In the evening, Zhang Zheng reported the results of the day's investigation to Wang Laohu.

"Ding San, this is not a fuel-efficient person, in the east of the city, he is also a ruffian scoundrel, idle all day long, lazy to eat, and Liu Er was stunned that he was a person wearing a pair of pants, that day, in the gambling house, the two did have a quarrel, and Ding San also threatened to kill Liu Er's stunned."

Wang Laohu listened carefully: "This Ding San does have a motive to kill. ”

The villain also thought it was suspicious, so he continued to investigate further and found that Ding San had been staying at Widow Li's house in the east of the city that night.

"But the investigation has been confirmed."

Asking from a neighbor, Ding San went to Widow Li's house around dinner that night. Widow Lee did not deny it either, and could be said to have been with her all night. ”

Could it be that Ding San didn't kill anyone, or was he deliberately creating alibi evidence to avoid investigation?
