There was a mess in the courtyard of the stone house: the merchants who had woken up from their dreams and the women in the courtyard who relied on laughter and selling their lives screamed and shouted, like headless flies rampaging through the courtyard, scrambling to get the way and escape. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Qu Tutong rushed into the courtyard first, and urgently ordered the sergeants to stand around the courtyard with torches in hand, and shouted loudly: "I am the tiger Benlang general Qu Tutong, and I will lead the army to arrest the real murderer. If anyone escapes without authorization, there will be no forgiveness. ”

The people in the courtyard didn't know whether they heard that it was the officials and soldiers who came to arrest the real murderer and had nothing to do with them, or they were frightened by Qu Tutong's last shout of "no forgiveness". After a brief commotion, several well-informed Hu merchants took the lead and walked up to the room.

"Please go to the wing room for a while, and then General Yu and the last general will lead the sergeants to check the names, origins, and identities of everyone in the Ming Courtyard one by one, and then escort the real murderer to see the prince, how about it?" Qu Tutong saw Yang Guang walking into the courtyard, and hurriedly turned around to ask him for instructions.

Yu Juluo was quite jealous of the red-haired young man, but he refused to leave Yang Guang for a single step, and it was inconvenient to disobey Qu Tutong's order, so he quietly told Xian Yuluo to go to the upper room to summon the sleeve red to see him, and he gestured to Qu Tutong, escorted Yang Guang to the wing room to sit down, and then came out to meet him.

Yang Guang disliked that all the rooms in the courtyard were places for prostitutes, so he refused to enter the room and sit down, so he went straight into the courtyard and walked over.

Seeing this, Qu Tutong hurriedly followed with a few sergeants and Yu Juluo.

Under the light, Yang Guang looked at the row of upper rooms in the courtyard, and it was indeed a temple. Hua Gu and the others will also choose a place, this stone house courtyard for Hu merchants to have fun leads to a miscellaneous courtyard full of goods on Tianshui Road, and when they come in from Kushui Road, it is a temple. Even if someone rushes in, they will never find out the truth.

Yang Guang pondered, while raising his feet into the upper room, only to find that this row of upper rooms is also opened, as if it is the main hall of the temple, there is a statue of Guanyin more than two feet high, and on both sides of the statue stand four fierce and evil Arhats.

Qu Tutong ordered the accompanying sergeants to search around in the Bodhisattva hall, confirming that the hall was empty, and only found a compartment behind the statue of Guanyin, which seemed to be a duty room to take care of the incense candles and lights, and the room was quite clean.

Yu Juluo was still not worried that others were guarding Yang Guang's side, and at the same time, because he was the only one who knew Hua Gu, he didn't wait for Qu Tutong to speak, and rushed to a sergeant and ordered: "You go to the back yard and escort a girl named Sleeve Red to see me here." ”

The sergeant departed as ordered, and after a cup of tea, he was summoned from his bed, and his frightened sleeves were like chaff.

"Sleeve Red, General Ben is now giving you a chance to make meritorious atonements." In front of Yang Guang and Qu Tutong, Yu Juluo looked like an official, and said to the sleeve red who slept with him an hour or two ago, "Now you take the sergeants to the upper room in the backyard to identify Hua Gu and her comrades, and this general is willing to intercede for you in front of the King of Jin, and forgive you for your innocence." ”

Seeing this situation, he already understood in his heart, and he hurriedly lowered his eyebrows and agreed, and returned to the backyard with a few sergeants to identify Hua Gu.

Yang Guang sat aside and looked at the difference, seeing that although Yu Juluo seemed to be fierce at the sleeve red, he had the "demeanor" of an ordinary prostitute who put on his pants and turned his face and did not recognize people, but in fact, he still had a affection for the sleeve red, and wanted to use this to clear her hands, and he didn't say anything at the moment, but only ordered Qu Tutong to send people to the Kushui Road for reinforcements to prevent Hua Gu and others from running away from the Kushui Road.

After another half an hour, I saw Sleeve Red being escorted by two sergeants, and returned with a bitter face.

"What's the matter, Aunt Hua is not in the backyard?" As soon as Sleeve Hong walked into the cubicle, Yu Juluo couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Have you asked the other girls, does anyone know where Hua Gu is?" ”

Sleeve Hong hesitated to one side, and Yang Guang realized that there was a person behind Sleeve Hong, but the person was thin and small, so he was blocked by Sleeve Hong.

"Lord Qiyu, two generals, this little girl claims to have a very important report, so we brought her." One of the sergeants clenched his fists and reported to Yang Guang and the others.

"Cat!" After seeing the little girl's appearance clearly by the lamplight, Yang Guang couldn't help but blurt out, "What do you have to say?" ”

Ah Mao raised a hand, pointed to the outside of the compartment, and said in a crisp voice: "I know that under the base of the Guanyin statue, there is a secret passage, and Hua Gu must have run from there." I also know that Hua Gu usually sleeps in this compartment, and as soon as she hears something outside, she will immediately escape into the secret passage. Go get her. ”

When Qu Tutong heard this, he immediately glanced at several sergeants, and the sergeants understood, turned around and went out of the room to check.

"Girl, who are you? Why tell us this? Qu Tutong tightened his face and asked Ah Mao in confusion.

"Hua Gu forced me to take customers and sell myself, I hate her!" Ah Mao glanced at Yang Guang, who was sitting in the center, a little shyly, and gritted his teeth and said.

"Uncle Yu, the young proprietor, and this general, don't be deceived by this little girl." As soon as she entered the door, she frowned and suddenly shouted in her throat, "After she was a traitor to the imperial court, she was in the same group as Hua Guyuan." Now that he saw that he was caught by the official army, he wanted to use this to get out. ”

Although Yang Guang had faintly sensed that Ah Mao was by no means an ordinary person from Sima Luo's special concern for Ah Mao before, at this time, after hearing Sleeve Hong shouting in public that Ah Mao was a traitor, he was still startled, and hurriedly asked Sleeve Hong: "You make it clear, which traitor is she, what is her real name?" ”

Due to the suddenness of the incident, Qu Tutong did not wait for Yang Guang to give an order, and shouted urgently to the sergeant standing behind Ah Mao: "Tie me up first!" ”

In an instant, Ah Mao was tied up by the sergeant behind him with his hands behind his back.

"Hmph, even if I fall into the hands of the government, it will always be as if I have lost my chastity here and become a person like you!" Ah Mao's eyes widened, and Chong Chong Honghong said fiercely.

Sleeve Hong was scolded by her so ashamed and anxious, "plopped" and knelt down in front of Yang Guang, covered her face with a scarf, and said with a sob: "She, her real name is Wei Chi Fanglin, her grandfather was the captain Chi Hui who took the lead in rebelling against the current emperor in Xiangzhou two years ago, she defected to Hua Gu, originally to change to Nan Chen in the future.
