Chapter VII: Night Detective

"Oh, you're so polite, officer, isn't it just a trivial matter."

Xiao Er looked at the few broken silver grains of white flowers that Wang Qian took out, estimated to weigh three or four dollars, his eyes lit up, he rubbed his hands embarrassedly, and immediately took it again, and hurriedly stuffed it into his sleeve.

Wang Qian looked at the shopkeeper's hand speed so quickly, twitched his mouth, and couldn't cry or laugh. After crossing over, he only relied on the original prince's private money of seven or eight taels to live a small life, he thought it was a lot, but he has been so squandered in the past two days, and this money is not worth spending.

"Well, I'll have to get some money somewhere." Wang Qian said secretly.

But Wang Qian didn't know that in addition to the gray income, in the Ming Dynasty, a seven-grade county was about four or five taels of silver a month, and it also had to provide for the expenses of a government office, such as the salary and food of the maid and housekeeper in the house, all of which had to be borne by the county lord alone. It's not easy to make money.

After Xiao Er received the money, he pulled Wang Qian aside and said, sure enough, even his mouth became more sharp:

"Guest officer, if you want to say this Yang Erye, he has been in this village since last year, usually domineering, and there are many brothers, I heard that there are still his backers in the county, and the businessmen in this neighborhood dare not provoke, this year their group of people will come to the small shop from time to time to fight and drink, and be generous, but never spend the night with me."

"Then I don't know what this Second Master Yang does for a living? Why do you need to be here for a long time? Wang Qian thought for a while, and understood that this was to find the right master, so he asked calmly.

"Alas, you asked me what they do for a living, I don't know, don't talk about me, I'm afraid no one will know about the whole Wulizhuang, only I heard that they used to occasionally get busy at night, and several large carts of goods were transported to the village, all sealed neatly with white cloth, and no one knew what was put inside."

The shopkeeper looked around and said in a low voice to Wang Qian.

"Oh? So, dare to ask the shopkeeper, where are these people where they store their goods? Wang Qian nodded, with some understanding in his heart, and asked again.

"They, there is a deserted courtyard a mile outside the north of the village, and when they came, they found someone to rent a house there and settle down, and they usually stayed there for a long time except for buying some daily necessities and ingredients in the village." The shopkeeper replied, thought about it, and found that something was wrong, so he lowered his voice and kindly reminded: "Guest officer, I can tell you, those are not easy to mess with, I see that you are young, but there is wealth between your eyebrows, I think you must be a person with a solid family, go out, don't provoke them if you have nothing to do." ”

"There's no intention of infringement, just curious, thank you for your kindness." Wang Qian saw that he couldn't ask anything anymore, so he stretched his body casually and said.

"Hey, that's all I say, Childe be careful."

......

Wang Qian gave the horse to the shopkeeper and went out. Walking all the way to the north, the more north the village of the five miles of the village will be the sparse lights, out of the north of the village is already silent, a darkness, looking at a courtyard in front of a mile to refract a little firelight, Wang Qian has a plan in his heart, so he calmly walked forward.

Walking to the front of the courtyard, this small courtyard has long been deserted, there is not even a shelter in front of the gate, a broken wooden board hangs and staggers, and the door is full of insect nets.

Wang Qian immediately unfolded his body, disappeared into the darkness, and sneaked into the courtyard. In his previous life, he worked hard in the era of hot weapons, and he had done everything to arrest suspects and track them down, and in this era of cold weapons, it was easy to sneak into such a place silently.

After being admitted to the hospital, Wang Qian attached himself to the window and found a small broken hole and looked into the house, which was empty, but the lights were still burning in the house. Seeing this, Wang Qian's eyebrows were locked, and when he was about to leave the detour house to take a look, there was a "bang" sound in the room to move, Wang Qian bent down to look again, only to see the two floor tiles in the corner of the wall suddenly opened, and immediately got up from inside A burly man, took a closer look, it turned out that there was another mystery under the floor tiles. After the big man came out, he looked left and right, turned around and beckoned to the floor tiles, and then, seven or eight more people came out of the dark passages under the floor tiles one after another.

Seeing this, Wang Qian's eyes attached to the window flashed, this is not the 'Second Master Yang' in the Gang Xinyue Inn.

"Bring what you need to bring, it's all set! Rest on the spot, and we'll get out of here when it's late at night. After everyone came out, the second master of the big man Yang said.

"Did you hear what the second master said? Rest on the spot, wait for late at night to set off, everyone retreats to the west mountain together, Xiao Liu'er, you go to patrol outside the courtyard to see if there is anything abnormal. The skinny young man commanded.

The little thief who came out to patrol would definitely not be able to find our Wang Qian's traces, not a joke, in addition to being the top three in the military region in the fighting competition every year in Wang Qian's previous life, what he was best at was concealment, especially in the jungle and in the dark, because of such a specialty, he has solved many big and important cases.

After the patrolling little Liu'er left, Wang Qian continued to listen carefully, pondering for a while, and didn't know what to do for a while.

If he wants to find a way to beat these seven or eight people down at once, and then go down to the cellar to find out, although he doesn't know what the value of people's force is at this time, but it shouldn't be difficult for him to do it. It's just that the purpose of his visit is to find out what Yang Zhi is planning, and it doesn't make any sense to do so, I believe that in the city, these people are just turtles in the urn, so they don't have to worry about it, so they don't start for a long time.

Just when Wang Qian was at a loss, the room remembered the words again.

"Second brother, think about it, we haven't been back home for almost two years, after evacuating tonight, the eldest brother let us all go home and rest for a while, I think this day will not be short."

The thin young man said to the big man named "Second Master Yang".

The two sat on the ground like this, and the big man led by him leaned against the wall and replied, "Yes, I haven't been back to my hometown in Xiangtan for more than two years, I'm different from you, you are all northerners, my hometown is in the south, and the customs there are completely different from here, and the second brother really misses it."

Yang Erye gradually raised his head as he spoke, his eyes were full of yearning, and he said:

"After such a long time, the days of licking blood with a knife head are really tired, after coming to the north, I am thinking even more about those girls in my hometown, tsk, one by one, in the past two years, I have made a lot of money with my eldest brother, not to mention much, each brother went back to his hometown to buy a few acres of fertile land to ask for a wife and spare money, let's also take this opportunity to go back to his hometown to recuperate."

"What the second brother said is, but the brothers still can't understand why the eldest brother let us abandon these goods at this time, the goods here are all white silver."

The young man named Xiao Liuzi asked puzzled.

"Shut up, what does the eldest brother do, naturally he has his reasons, the eldest brother will do what he says, who dares to take away the goods without permission, don't blame my knife for turning his face and not recognizing people!"

Yang Er said angrily, wiping the Dao on his waist out of the sheath, and there was a ringing.

"Little Liu'er, you are so daring. Do you dare to disobey the meaning of the eldest brother and the second brother? Remember to me, today's eldest brother also sent a message and said that after we leave at night, no matter who is caught by the official family in the future, the mastermind behind us will be bitten to death is Wang Mao, the county commander of Yongqing County! Big brother has a way to save us, remember everything? ”

The skinny young man looked around at the people present and said sharply.

Hearing this, Wang Qian's pupils shrank outside the house, and his breathing became short, it turned out that Yang Zhihao had all his calculations here. Since this matter was exposed, Yang Zhi had already planned to plant the blame on Wang Mao's head, Yongqing's current position as a county Cheng is vacant, Yang Zhi is the main book and the county Cheng, after Wang Mao falls, Yang Zhi will be able to hold the big seal, and these people in this have long been regarded as an outcast by Yang Zhi, but they still think they can retreat with their whole body, but they don't know that as long as he is caught, once they open their mouths to frame Wang Mao, there will be no way out, and they will not be able to change their words until death.

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Qian was drenched in cold sweat behind him, and suddenly said with a wry smile: Father, father, such a femme fatale, you still call him a brother and a brother.

Wang Qian outside the house was thinking about how to deal with it and was stunned, when he suddenly felt a strong wind in his ears, raised his head instantly, and saw an object in the air attacking, instinctively turned sideways, and the thing stuck to Wang Qian's face and then fell to the ground.

I only heard a "bang", and it turned out to be a fist-sized stone falling to the ground. It's just that this time it's terrible, the people in the room are like exploding a pot, all of them draw their knives and jump up, shouting in unison: "What people! Then they rushed out of the house together.
