Huaxiangji is located in the east of Qingzhou by a small river, is Dengzhou, Laizhou, Weizhou into Qingzhou must pass through the road, it can pass through Linqu, down to Shouguang, Guangling, go west not far from Qingzhou, and the waterway and land are very smooth, so it is a more prosperous town.

After a few days of hurrying, Murong Guangzong arrived at Huaxiangji on this day, at this time it was nearly noon, the group looked at Qingzhou not far away, and then rested in front of a tavern, ready to have lunch and then left, at that time more than ten men and women got off the horse and parked and went straight into the building.

It is said that Murong Guangzong is a child of a rich family, although he prides himself on being high, but he is inevitably a young man, so he bought two gorgeous concubines when he was in office, one is called Li Niang, and the other is called Xiu Niang, who was very pampered in the past, and he did not plan to return to Huangxian when he entered Beijing this time, so he took it with him. At this time, two women followed him into the lobby of the tavern, and immediately attracted the attention of a diner, with various meanings.

Let's say that on a table in the right corner of the lobby, there are two men, one tall and one short, and when the short one saw the two women coming in, a pair of eyes seemed to be sucked, and they fell on their bodies, and even the harazi flowed out.

"Straight lady thief, such a tender woman, the lord has not met them for many days, and today I will get them no matter what."

The short man stared at the two women and said to himself.

"What my brother told is important, if something goes wrong for the two women, I can't explain it to my brothers in the village when I go back."

The other tall man saw that the short man looked confused, and immediately persuaded him.

"Alas! Wouldn't this be the loss of two beautiful ladies for nothing! ”

The short man sighed, but with great reluctance.

About half a column of incense, I heard the sound of the stairs of the tavern, and then saw the men and women coming down for lunch. The short man saw the two women go out, and he was reluctant, so he immediately checked out and went out.

After following the carriage, one tall and one short, they walked slowly and unconsciously to the river at the west entrance of the town, and when they thought that the pedestrian was about to cross the bridge, they turned to the pier on the side, and then got into a boat and went south.

"Hah! Ha! Ha! I didn't expect these people to be on the same road with us, so my peach blossoms are here, brother, hurry up and tell the brothers to set sail, and don't lose them first. ”

When the short man saw that the group was going south, and that he was walking the same road as himself, he was overjoyed, and he laughed a few times, and immediately pulled the tall man down the dock to board a boat, and after a while he untied the cable and followed.

Let's say that Gu Haotian and the others followed Murong Guangzong all the way to Qingzhou, thinking of looking for an opportunity to attack in the jurisdiction of his uncle, so that Murong Yanda had a headache, but they didn't expect them to get off the boat and go south, and they couldn't help but be a little caught off guard for a while. In a hurry, Gu Haotian immediately sent a personal guard to Guangling by land to inform Li Jun just in case, and this side rented a boat at a high price on the dock, and took Bian Xiang, Shi Qian and others to follow, leaving only Yang Zaixing to take the personal guard battalion by land to the next ferry to meet.

"Bian Xiang and Brother Shi Qian, tell me who are the two men who have been following the gang in the tavern just now?"

The boat is that Gu Haotian sat in the cabin, always thinking about the two men he saw in the tavern at noon, in fact, several of them were also in the lobby at that time, the ugliness of the short man, he had already felt it, and he always felt that it was very similar to a person, but he couldn't remember it for a while, and at this time on the boat, he couldn't help but ask.

"The guy was short and ugly, staring at the beautiful woman, and his eyes were falling out

Here, there are very good people there, and I think they will do anything to that gang on this waterway, and we won't have to do anything to say no. ”

Bian Xiang didn't want to think about it, so he replied, with his temperament, if it wasn't for the special object, and he was on a mission, he might have made a move when he saw the ugly appearance of that guy just now.

"Hey, hey! I just saw that the little officials were very concerned about these two people, and when they were on the road, they did some tricks and feet, and got some things, but I don't know if they are useful. ”

Shi Qian sneered twice, and immediately took out a cloth bag from his arms and put it on the table.

When the three of them opened it, they saw that in addition to some silver, there were many bottles and jars.

"This guy must be a lewd adulterer, and he carries so many aphrodisiacs."

Shi Qian is an expert in this area, and after looking at it, he said disdainfully.

When Gu Haotian heard it, he was even more strange, who should this lustful and lewd dwarf be, he was thinking about it, and suddenly a name jumped out of his heart - bantam tiger Wang Ying, could it be this person! Then he remembered the tall red-haired man with him, so it seemed that it should be the brocade-haired tiger Yanshun.

These two people are not on Erlong Mountain, what are they doing here?

Gu Haotian was basically sure of these two people in his heart, but he was very curious about the intention of these two people to sail north. At that moment he ordered the ship to speed up and keep up with it, and to find out the truth when he landed tonight.

After only half a day's journey down the river, the boat arrived at a riverside town in the west of Shouguang City, Gu Haotian and others saw that the two boats in front of them had docked one after another, and then they followed to the side, and then followed the two people in front of them to the shore, and then lived in an inn in the town.

"Straight lady thief, the master's treasure bag was unknowingly smoothed away by that damn thief, and it will take a lot of trouble for me tonight."

In the lobby of the inn, the short man scolded angrily while eating.

Bian Xiang on the table on the side listened to it, and looked at Shi Qian with an annoyed face, but he almost laughed.

"Be careful, my brother's big things matter, beautiful women don't have them, don't miss big things for this."

The tall man in the seat said solemnly.

"Hey, hey! I don't know how much I have done in this matter, and I will not be wrong, just rest assured, and I will be taken to the ship at night, and one will be enjoyed by my brother at that time. ”

The short man grinned in response, but didn't care. Then the two of them said no more, and went to deal with the wine and food.

And Gu Haotian was alert to the "big thing" that the tall man said, if these two people were really Wang Ying and Yan Shun, then the brother he said must be Song Jiang, so what was the "big thing" of their trip? What is there along the way that deserves so much attention from this Song Sanlang?

When Gu Haotian was meditating, the two of them had already left their seats and got up, and seeing that the tall man was not at ease, he quietly ordered: "You can go to Guangling tomorrow afternoon, the time is very urgent, you can accept it when you see it here, don't miss the big thing over there." ”

It turned out that it was Guangling's idea!

Gu Haotian focused on those two people, and he finally heard what he wanted. But immediately thought that these people must have been laid out on the Guangling side, and suddenly became a little nervous, and immediately returned to the boat with Bian Xiang, called a personal guard again, and he immediately rushed to Guangling overnight to inform Li Jun.

In the middle of the night, Shi Qian quietly returned to the room, and in the middle of the night, he visited two places in a row, but got the same news, it turned out that Murong Guangzong and the two men were destined for Guangling Salt Farm. It's just that the former went to explore the truth in order to make great contributions, but the latter did

There seems to be another plan. Gu Haotian saw that only then did he understand why Murong Guangzong suddenly went north by water, it turned out that he had such thoughts, but he didn't know that he had become an ignorant "cicada", and there was a "praying mantis" and a "yellow finch" staring at him.

"Murder!"

Early in the morning, when the tenants were washing up and eating and preparing to leave, a scream suddenly came from one of the upper rooms of the inn, and everyone was taken aback, and then they rushed to the room, and then saw a young man lying in a pool of blood, and under the wide open window there was a man who looked like a butler, but both of them seemed to be out of breath.

The young man's entourage, when they saw the shopkeeper who came in a hurry, immediately entangled him, but said that his own Langjun was the county commander of Qipin, and he was the nephew of Lord Murong of Qingzhou.

Just when the shopkeeper was frightened, two women came in crying outside the shop, and everyone saw that they were the two ladies beside the deceased. Then in the intermittent narration of the two women, everyone heard clearly, it turned out that a man had stolen into their room at night, and they did not know what means they used, and the three of them saw but could not speak, but only watched him kill his Langjun and then steal their sisters out, fortunately the good man rescued him, otherwise he would have died.

"It must be you, the black shop, who has the intention of colluding with gangsters to commit crimes, so go with me quickly."

Those followers were even more furious at this time, and they were stubbornly pestering the shopkeeper, and they had to drag him to the government.

And in the midst of this mess, a clear voice sounded:

"You don't want to quarrel, the appearance of that villain, these two ladies must have seen it, you might as well let her tell it in detail, maybe you know some truth."

When the onlookers saw it, they suddenly came to their senses. The two women who listened afterwards said that the man who had entered the room was a short, stout man, and that the one who had been outside had red hair.

"It's a coincidence, when I was eating in the lobby last night, I happened to see two people who looked like this, and I heard them say that they were people from Shier Longshan, it could be these two people."

At this time, the man who had just spoken spoke again.

When the onlookers heard this, they also recalled the two people for a while. The shopkeeper hurried to the room of the two, but saw that the building had already been empty, and even the room money had not been settled. Immediately, everyone fell on the suspects on the two people, and the shopkeeper had a person who escaped the crime at this time, so he insisted that it was the bandits of Erlong Mountain who did the evil thing, and refused to let go.

Let's say that last night, Shi Qian watched the short man steal the two women out of the window, and immediately entered the room, but found that Murong Guangzong was just unconscious, and immediately got rid of him, and then went next door to kill the master and put it outside the window, creating an illusion. And Bian Xiang had long been on the way to the two gangsters, and suddenly rescued the two women when they were unprepared, and then Gu Haotian deliberately named the two murderers in the inn, and successfully achieved the goal of framing the blame.

The matter of Murong Guangzong, the original idea was to end it in Qingzhou, in order to add a block to Murong Yanda, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing, not only did it get out of the way perfectly, but also pulled Song Jiang into the water, but it was the best of both worlds.

At this moment, Gu Haotian and the others were sitting on a fast boat going upstream, and not far in front of them were the boats of the tall and short men.

Thinking back on the experience of the past two days, Gu Haotian couldn't help but think of an idiom story - the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and now that the cicada of Murong Guangzong is dead, the praying mantis in front of him is still jumping, and his yellow finch can't be taken lightly.
