Wu Liu looked around and said softly, "Childe, why don't we go upstairs and talk about it!" First, there are few people upstairs and it is quiet; Second, we occupy a table here and affect the income is not! ”

Jiang Nan was stunned for a moment, and swept away following his gaze. In a short time, the hall was full, and a few diners stopped to look, presumably looking for a vacant seat, and climbed up the stairs to the top floor.

……

The two came to the fourth floor, sat down in the Jiangnan private room, and saw that Wu Liu was still standing aside, and waved his hand: "Sixth, sit!" ”

Wu Liu smiled slightly and said, "No! Comfortable to stand! ”

When Jiang Nan heard this, he didn't persuade deeply, he sat on the chair with an indifferent expression, waiting for Wu Liu to open his mouth.

Wu Liu was silent, pondered the words, and spoke slowly.

It turned out that Jiang Nan gave an order, and Wu Liu took it to heart, and selected ten people from the brothers below who were active in their minds to secretly inquire about the matter.

A few people inquired around near Liu Yuanwai's mansion, and learned that although the Rumu monk had profound Buddhism, he was only twenty or thirty years old, with a round face and no beard, medium stature, wrapped in gray coarse cloth monk's robes, fat and thin, but a big black mole next to his nose, which was very eye-catching.

Among the several people, there was a man, named Qi Chen, suddenly had a feeling, and proposed to find a painter, according to the words of the people who had seen it, to draw the facial features of the monk on the paper, and led the painter to take the portrait to the people who had seen it, and then adjust it slightly. At this point, the realistic portrait of the monk Rumu has been completed.

I went to the rubbing workshop in the city to find the craftsman to make more photocopies, and several people each held a copy in their hands, and inquired near the city gate, and confirmed that the monk Rumu was out of the city from the north gate, and was busy outside the north gate to investigate.

Huang Tian no longer had a heart, and finally heard the news of Monk Rumu in a tea shop next to the official road a few miles away.

It turned out that the sun was shining brightly that day, and the monk Rumu walked to the tea shop, and the shopkeeper of the tea shop saw that his sweat had soaked the monk's robe, so he gave him a pot of tea. Therefore, I have some impressions of it.

Qi Chen's ten people continued to the north along the official road, passing through the tea shop, all of them said that they had seen the monk Rumu, until they entered Yangzi County and cut off the news.

It took a lot of effort for a few people to find this place, how could they easily stop. However, after many inquiries, there was still no news from Monk Rumu, but he didn't want to accidentally gain news about Futuo Temple.

From the west gate of Yangzi County out of the city, about 20 miles, there is a mountain, the name is called Luohua Mountain, because the mountain is full of deciduous birch trees, people all call it Luohua Mountain, the birch trees in the back mountain are mostly cut down, people go to the grass head next to the wood, it is called Luohua Mountain at first.

There is a peak on the top of the mountain, perennial clouds and mist, nearly half of the peak towers into the clouds, so it is called the peak of the clouds.

A few floating waves in the middle street market of Yangzi County, like strange and strange, meet at the foot of the mountain, and climb through the jade peak together. When he returned to the city, he threatened to go to the top of the peak, and found a temple, although there were few monks in it, but each martial arts were strong, and the cliff climbed on the ground.

This temple is Futuo Temple.

Several people have a bad reputation in the city, and Guy often comes out of his mouth exaggerated and ethereal, so what he said, everyone is in and out of his left ear, if it weren't for Qi Chen and others to ask, I'm afraid they would have forgotten about Futuo Temple.

Qi Chen and the others wanted to climb the Cloud Piercing Peak to check, but they were afraid that they would miss the big event of the son, so they sent a person with fast legs and feet back to report, and the rest waited in Yangzi County.

Jiang Nan frowned and thought about it, and muttered: "Yangzi County? ”

When Wu Liu heard this, he hurriedly explained: "Childe, this Yangzi County has been to a small one, and it belongs to Jiangdu County, according to which it is about eighty miles away, Luohua Mountain and Chuanyun Peak have also heard people talk about it, but there is no Futuo Temple. ”

Jiangnan: "Good! I'll go back to the county government to gather people and go to Yangzi County to get people! ”

After that, he was about to get up, but Wu Liu raised his hand to stop him, "Son, slow down!" ”

Jiang Nan glanced at Wu Liu in surprise and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Wu Liu's palms were pressed weakly, motioning for Jiang Nan to sit down first, and said, "Childe!" Chuanyun Peak is located in Yangzi County, even if there is really a Futuo Temple on it, and the monk Rumu is also the murderer of Liu Yuanwai's murder case, as the county governor of Jiangdu County, you have no right to cross the border to get people! ”

Jiang Nan was stunned, Liu Yuanwai's murder case had become a thorn in his heart, and when he thought of the sixty-seven people who died tragically, his heart was panicked. Monk Rumu appeared just before Liu Yuanwai was destroyed, and his appearance was suspicious. Yes, when he heard his news, Jiang Nan couldn't wait to immediately take him for interrogation, but he forgot that Luohua Mountain was not in his jurisdiction.

Jiang Nan's fingertips unintentionally tapped on the table, and after a while, he said firmly: "Even if I can't get people across the border, I have to go in person!" It's rare to hear the news of Monk Rumu, don't go to investigate, tell me how willing! With that, he got up and left.

Wu Liu hurriedly caught up and said, "Childe! I'll go with you, I still have a few acquaintances there, it's convenient to inquire about the news! ”

Jiang Nan paused at his feet, turned around and said, "Okay!" Then you can go with me! Pack up and let's go! After that, he turned around and continued to move forward, didn't take a few steps to think of something, stopped again, and said: "I'm afraid it will take a few days to come back, although the county guard has nothing to do every day, but the point must be there, you send someone to help me speak, just say that I went out of the city to investigate the case of Liu Yuanwai's extermination, and I don't need to tell you where to go, and the county government also said the same." In addition, I also told Xiaocui and the third child, tell the truth! ”

Wu Liu nodded in response and said, "Okay!" There's a brother guarding downstairs, and I'll order it to go down in a moment! ”

Jiang Nan bowed, and the two of them walked downstairs quickly.

……

On the official road north of Jiangdu County, three beggars walked from south to north, all dressed in tattered clothes, and the black cloth shoes under their feet did not know how long they had been worn, and their big toes had broken free and leaned out to enjoy the coolness. The three of them seemed to have something urgent, but their faces were expressionless, and they never stopped for a moment.

Eyes were carefully identified, but two of them were Jiang Nan and Wu Liu, and there was a man in his early thirties, with a green cloth package hanging on his back, thin, bronze hidden in the holes in his clothes, ordinary faces, but his eyes were very bright. This person's surname is Wang, a single name is an ice character, and the person is as his name, cold.

Wang Bing was the one who rushed back from Yangzi County to report the news. Wu Liu selected him from more than 30 people, all because Wang Bing knew some fists and feet, and he was rigorous and serious. And Qi Chen and the others discussed asking Wang Bing to come back to report the news, but it was because Wang Bing was too serious, and he was cold and unsociable, of course, part of the reason was that he had good foot strength.

"Childe! Let's take a break! It's okay, with the speed of the three of us, I can guarantee that I can reach Yangzi before dark! ”

Wu Liu stopped suddenly, bowed his hands on his knees, and panted.

Jiang Nan also stopped when he heard this, looked at the official road in front of him, and turned back and said, "Hold on, there is a tea shop ahead!" ”

Wu Liu hurriedly got up and looked into the distance, as far as his eyes could see, the gentle slope of the winding official road in front of him went up the hill, except for the dense weeds and a few crooked neck trees on both sides, where did the tea shop come from, and said in surprise: "Why didn't I see it!" Isn't Childe fooling me? ”

Wang Bing turned around and said, "There is a tea shop." The voice was cold and indifferent.

Wu Liu glanced at Wang Bing and said in surprise: "You also saw it?" His eyes widened.

Wang Bing: "No. "The eyes do not squint, and the face is expressionless.

Wu Liu: "Then how do you know that there is a tea shop in front?" Fool me! ”

Wang Bing: "I remember the road. The voice was as cold as ever.

Wu Liu glanced at Wang Bing, walked to Jiang Nan's side in a few steps, and chuckled: "Childe, let's go, I can hold on for a while!" "I am still familiar with Wang Bing, he said that there is, then there must be.

The three of them continued to walk, the hill approached, squinted, and saw a wooden pillar standing behind the post, and a gray and white coarse cloth hung above, like a flag, fluttering in the wind.

After another paragraph, the coarse cloth "flag" was clearly recognizable, a disguise, with only a big black letter on it—tea.

Wu Liu didn't care about proportions at this time, turned his head to look at Jiang Nan, and said with a sneer: "Childe, there is a tea shop in front, I'll go and arrange it first." After that, he ignored Jiangnan's reaction and ran forward with a smoke.

Jiang Nan looked at his back, didn't know what he was thinking, and shook his head with a helpless smile.

Wang Bing glanced at Jiangnan and said, "The sixth child will do a good job first, and the son can rest and save some time when he goes." ”

Jiang Nan looked at Wang Bing who was walking side by side in surprise, he had walked more than twenty miles all the way, and it was the first time he had seen him take the initiative to speak, thinking of Wu Liu who was running in front, and he had an understanding. Waving his hand, he said, "I don't have so many rules. Seeing that his face was cold, he didn't respond, and asked casually: "Are you from the military?" ”

After speaking, Yu Guang paid attention to Wang Bing's reaction, and saw that his pupils suddenly shrank, and his heart was relieved.

The future of this trip is unknown, and there is such a person on the road, although it is Wu Liu's brother, but Jiangnan still has to personally inspect it.

Wang Bing didn't talk much along the way, and he didn't see any breath after walking for more than 20 miles, thinking that he still had the strength to spare, and he noticed the calluses in his tiger's mouth, so he faintly guessed.

Just now, when he was tested without preparation, how he reacted has been fully seen by himself.

Wang Bing was silent for a while, and asked softly, "Why did Childe say this?" ”

…… Jiang Nan glanced at him with a smile, and then looked at the tea shop not far ahead, but did not respond.

Wang Bing moved his lips, and wanted to ask a few more questions, but saw Wu Liuzheng standing outside the tea shop beckoning, so he had to give up.

"Anan! It's time for tea! Wu Liu shouted, this is also what Jiangnan asked for on the road.

All three of them are dressed as beggars, and when someone calls them Childe, it is difficult not to attract attention. Therefore, Jiang Nan instructed the two of them to call themselves "Anan" when there were people.

Jiang Nan waved in response, his eyes looking at the tea shop.

It is said to be a tea shop, but in fact it is a thatched shed, supported by four thick wooden pillars at the mouth of the bowl, covered with thatch, and a stove is set up below, on which an iron kettle is erected, and the mouth of the pot is steaming at the moment. Outside the shed are five square wooden tables, each with four benches. Two of the tables were already seated by passers-by.

Seeing Jiangnan approaching, a young man dressed as a group ran out of the shed with a smile and greeted: "Guest officer, drink a pot of tea and rest?" ”

Jiang Nan casually pointed to Wu Liu, who was standing at the square table, and said, "We're together!" ”

The man looked back at Wu Liu, remembered that the man had ordered tea, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Come on!" Two guest officers, please! ”

Jiang Nan and Wang Bing strode towards Wu Liu.
