Chapter 92: Tracking the Suspect (4)

An indescribable anger ignited from the bottom of Li Yanqing's heart, and his eyes turned red, as if the burning anger in his heart was about to erupt from his eyes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After Liu Chenghong was expelled, he was still protected by Li Wengui, changed his name and surname and hid in the Daimyo's mansion, regardless of whether Li Wengui participated in the murder of his brother, he had an unshirkable responsibility for the death of the patriarch.

At this time, the guy screamed in horror, and Li Yanqing found that the sharp short sword pierced the skin of his neck, and a wisp of blood flowed down his neck, Li Yanqing loosened the sword slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Who knows where Liu Chenghong is hiding?" Say it! ”

Li Yanqing still remembers the conversation between the three Bai brothers, Liu Chenghong is still waiting to share the spoils, so he should still be in the Daimyo Mansion now, but once he finds out that the Bai brothers have been killed, he will inevitably flee from the Daimyo's Mansion, and from then on he will be incognito again, it will be difficult to find him again, Li Yanqing is inevitably a little anxious in his heart, today is his last chance to find Liu Chenghong.

"Say it! Where is Yoo Seung-hong? ”

The man's neck was cut by a sharp blade, and he was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, closed his eyes and stammered: "Li Ji Inn's.... Shopkeeper Sun probably knows that they have the best relationship. ”

After the man finished speaking, he felt his neck loosen, and when he opened his eyes, the young man who grabbed him was gone, and the man touched the bleeding neck, and slowly left with palpitations.

When Li Yanqing found the Li Ji Inn, he found that he was a step late, the door of the inn was closed, and there was a sign that was temporarily closed, Li Yanqing climbed over the fence from the backyard and jumped into the yard gently, he ran a few steps along the flower bed, but faintly heard someone scolding angrily, he even hid behind a bush of flowers and trees, and observed where the sound came.

In a moment, he noticed two large men with strong physiques standing in front of a room more than twenty paces away, and the scolding just now came from the room.

Li Yanqing's heart moved, slowly retreated, went around to the back of the house, and there was a window behind him, the window was closed, he dipped some saliva and poked a hole in the window paper, and looked into the house.

Seeing that there were two people in the room, one was sitting on a chair, and the other was pacing back and forth with his hands in his hands, Li Yanqing immediately recognized that this person pacing back and forth was Li Wengui's youngest son Li Qing, about 30 years old, who looked very similar to his father, thin and tall, like a bamboo pole.

Li Qing looked a little angry, glared at the other party angrily and said, "Liu Chenghong colluded with the bandits to kill the patriarch, how can my father explain to the clansmen?" You can no longer protect Liu Chenghong, you have to tell me, where is he hiding now? ”

The person sitting was about forty years old, with a big round face, Li Yanqing vaguely knew him, it turned out to be the third housekeeper of the Li Mansion, called Sun An, and one of Li Wengui's henchmen, after Li Wengui moved to Tangyin County, he also followed, but he didn't expect him to be an innkeeper in the Daimyo's Mansion.

Sun An swallowed slowly: "Even if I say it, it's useless, he should have left the Daimyo's Mansion now, you can't find him." ”

"Just tell me, where is he now? Whether or not I can find him is my business. ”

"Alright! I said that's it, Liu Chenghong has a fellow villager, in the Daimyo's Mansion Lu family as a steward, Liu Chenghong has been hiding in the country's house since he came back from Xiangzhou, this morning Liu Chenghong also came to ask me to borrow ten taels of silver, he said that he left the Daimyo Mansion at noon to go to Liao, at this time I estimate that he is already halfway to the north, the third son, I say something unpleasant, Liu Chenghong knows that the third master will not let him go, he has already left a good way for himself to retreat, you can't find him. ”

Li Qing snorted heavily, turned around and hurried away with two of his subordinates, but Li Yanqing was more shrewd than Li Qing, he knew that this Sun An still had nothing to say, and as soon as Li Qing left, Li Yanqing jumped into the house through the back window.

Sun An just got up, but he heard movement behind him, and before he could turn around, a sharp short sword was already on the back of his neck, "You dare to scream, I will cut off your head with a sword!" ”

"Yes..... Brother Qing'er? Sun An heard the voice behind him.

"It's me!" Li Yanqing said coldly.

"You put away the sword first, and I'll tell you anything you want to know."

Li Yanqing was surprised in his heart, so he put away his sword, turned to him, looked at Sun An's big round face and said coldly: "Say it!" Where the hell is Yoo Seung-hong now? ”

Sun An looked at him for a long time and asked, "I heard Liu Chenghong say that the three heroes of the Bai family were killed, you should have done it, right?" ”

Li Yanqing nodded, and Sun An gave a thumbs up and praised: "Brother Qing is really powerful, it is not easy to kill the three brothers of the Bai family alone!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, tell me where Liu Chenghong is?"

Sun An sat down, looked at Li Yanqing for a moment with a sly gaze, and said lightly: "Brother Qing'er doesn't want to know the cause and effect of this matter?" ”

"You know?" Li Yanqing stared at him fiercely.

Sun An smiled and said: "Liu Chenghong told me, if Brother Qing wants to know the cause and effect, I only need ten taels of silver, if Brother Qing still wants to know the specific hiding place of Liu Chenghong, then fifty taels of silver, the price is clearly marked, Tong Su is not bullied, if Brother Qing must use a sword to force me to say, then it is also fake news." ”

Li Yanqing took out an ingot of five taels of gold and threw it to him, "Say it!" ”

Sun An's eyes lit up, he took the gold and bit it with his teeth, and immediately put the gold into his arms with a smile, he was borrowed by Liu Chenghong today for ten taels of silver, and he has always regretted it in his heart, but he didn't expect to use Liu Chenghong's news to earn it back.

Sun An got the benefit, so he smiled and said: "Speaking of which, the root of this matter is still because of you, Brother Qing." ”

Li Yanqing snorted disdainfully and said, "Just because I drove him away from the Li Mansion five years ago, has he always held a grudge?" ”

"Almost! Over the years, he has always hated the eldest master for breaking his son's legs, making his son lame, and finally dying at the hands of the Jurchens, and also hating the eldest lord for driving him away ruthlessly and unjustly, every time he got drunk, he said that he would kill two people in his life, one is the eldest master, and the other is Brother Qing'er. ”

"Liu Fu'er is dead?" Li Yanqing was stunned.

Sun An sighed, "Liu Chenghong originally went to the Liao State and opened a blacksmith shop in Nanjing, the Liao State, but he and his son were conscripted as blacksmiths with the army, and Liu Fuer died in the hands of the Jurchens the year before last, Liu Chenghong fled back to find the third master, and the third master took pity on his son being killed, so he arranged for him to be a steward in the tavern of the Daimyo's Mansion. ”

"Liu Fu'er was killed by the Jurchens, what does it have to do with me?"

"Liu Chenghong doesn't think so, he said that his son was killed because he couldn't run fast, and he couldn't run fast because he broke his leg by the eldest master, and his broken leg was because of you, he kept saying that it was actually you who burned the ancestral hall."

Li Yanqing snorted, "And then?" Keep talking! ”

"A few months ago, the third master heard that your father and son accounted for thirty percent of the Li Ji grain store, and he was very angry, so he came to the Daimyo Mansion to find Liu Chenghong and talked for a long time, and heard Liu Chenghong say that the third master wanted to destroy your business, and soon I heard that Liu Chenghong told the military, saying that the grain store sold military rations privately, and this matter did not seem to have been successful, and then Liu Chenghong found the three heroes of the Bai family and asked them to make a move, and you know the final result."

"Is it Li Wengui's meaning to kill the patriarch?" Li Yanqing gritted his teeth and asked.

"It shouldn't be, the third master just wants to ruin the business of the grain store, and he doesn't want to kill his brother, it is Liu Chenghong's own intention, kill the patriarch to avenge his son, but the third master knows that Liu Chenghong colluded with the three heroes of the Bai family and provided him with a lot of money, so the death of the patriarch, the third master can't get rid of responsibility, you just saw it, the third master is also very anxious now, looking for Liu Chenghong everywhere, whether he wants to kill people or what, I don't know."

Li Yanqing finally knew the cause and effect, and he stared at Sun An again: "Now I want to know, where is Liu Chenghong hiding?" ”

Sun An accepted Li Yanqing's five taels of gold, of course, he would no longer keep it secret for Liu Chenghong, he thought for a while and said, "Have the little officials heard of the Lu family in the Daimyo Mansion?" ”

"I only know that there is a Lu Junyi in the Daimyo's Mansion!"

"Lu Junyi is the third of the three brothers of the Lu family, he has a fleet manager, surnamed Ni, is Liu Chenghong's fellow villager, the two have a good relationship, today at noon the Lu family has a fleet to transport cloth to Hejian Mansion, Liu Chenghong is hidden in this fleet, the little officials should be able to catch up with the time."

"Thank you!"

Li Yanqing left the inn with a word, he left the famous city, and chased north along the Yongji Canal.
