Half a month has passed, and the four of them have gone their separate ways, searching for Wu County and still not having any news of Xiang Liang, which makes Xiang Ji very annoyed, this time going out has made the master quite complaining, if he returns in vain, I am afraid that next time it will not be so easy to go down the mountain.

Fan Zeng's broken thoughts he was not afraid, he turned over and over those methods, not so much punishment as exercise, what kind of item to carry water and chop wood was happy in it, for fear of the disappointed eyes of the uncle and aunt at home again.

In the past four years, Mrs. Xiang has always avoided her brother and sister to wash her face with tears, and every time she brings back the news of Xiang Liang, she is looking forward to it, but she always ends up sighing.

Xiang Ji really can't see it, plus he has been holding back on the mountain for a long time, and he is about to reach the age of binding his hair, so he will come to fulfill his filial piety in person, do you want to be disappointed and come back?

"Fat man, how's it going? Let you inquire with the beggars in the city, is there any news? ”

"Don't mention it, many of them have fled, and I don't have less food, so I don't know if I really say it."

Without waiting for Yu Zhou to ask, Zhong Liyi took the initiative to say: "I don't have any news here, sub-period, is your idea okay?" Why do you have to let me linger in prostitution halls, you see, my goosebumps haven't gone down until now. ”

Yu Zhou held back a smile and said unkindly: "Brother Zhongli has worked hard, we don't have any hair tied up, and it's not appropriate to go to that kind of place, isn't it easy to find some people to come and go." ”

Xiang Ji slapped the table: "I haven't gained anything here, the restaurants and inns in the city have been run all over, and there is no trace of my uncle." ”

"Well, I've searched all over the cell in the name of visiting relatives, no, you can rest assured."

"Ziji, it's been almost half a month, we've turned over the city, even if we can't find it, Uncle Xiang should have heard that we were coming, isn't he here at all?"

"There is another possibility!"

"What is it?! Come on, don't sell it, it's all urgent. ”

"Uncle Xiang is incognito and hides under the minister's door as a diner!"

Xiang Ji wanted to be angry when he heard this, how could Xiang Liang be such a hero! Thinking that his situation was not much better, he said stupidly: "It also makes sense, but the Minister's Mansion is not something we can easily explore, how can this be good?!" ”

Yu Zhou asked with a smile: "Brother Yu, if you fall into Uncle Xiang's situation, which prince in this city will you seek refuge?" ”

"Hmph, there are so many ministers in the city, how do I know."

"Uncle Xiang must have a big heart, so he naturally wants to make friends with heroes from all walks of life, if you think so, which family has the most customers?"

"The county guard!"

"I'll go to the county guard to investigate!"

"Come back! You will only startle the snake like this, in case Uncle Yi is incognito, won't you kill him if you go? In this way, while it is not dark yet, you and Long Ji will go to find out a guy named Yin Tong, and I will go to see what the terrain of the county guard mansion is, and at night, Zhongli and I will visit the county guard mansion at night! ”

Xiang Ji is in a hurry, how can such an exciting thing not have his share?

"How can this work! I'm going too! Who is Yin Tong? ”

"You don't care who he is, it's useful for you to ask, you can go, as long as you can touch this copper coin without alarming me, I will agree!"

If you talk about brute force, the gate of the county guard mansion is not enough for him to dismantle, but if it is this kind of dexterous kung fu, Xiang Ji will not be enough, he knows that what Yu Zhou said also has some truth, and he carried the dragon and went to listen to Yin Tong.

When I came, I inquired, at this time, the county guard of Huiji was still Li Tian, as for Yin Tong, until he was killed, he was still the county guard, and let Xiang Ji investigate is only better than nothing, see if the blind cat will hit a dead mouse, what if Yi Liang befriended that guy now?

Compared with later generations, the night sky at this time is brighter, even when the crescent moon is high, the scattered stars are like broken diamonds, no wonder people always like to watch the stars at night, but this beautiful scenery is worth savoring.

The same difference is that as soon as the sun sets, there are no pedestrians on the street, only the curling smoke of each household drifts away in the wind, and when only the rats and insects are left, the two figures quietly touch out the wine shop.

Yu Zhou and Zhong Liyi were dressed in the night, walking quickly against the shadow of the wall, their light soft leather boots stepped on the ground silently, and they returned in vain, as expected, the county guard after more than ten years may not be here now.

Yu Zhou didn't tell them who it was, but he didn't have much hope for it.

The gate of the county guard mansion at night is like a fierce beast that opens its mouth to choose people and devours people, the black hole is terrifying, the two of them go around to a remote wall, Zhong Liyi clenched his fists and bent his knees, Yu Zhou stepped up, stepped on his shoulder and quietly looked inside, and then jumped back to the ground.

"It's three quarters, almost, isn't it?"

"Wait a minute, I noticed that the garrison changes every half an hour during the day, and the night patrol is unknown, so let's count it as half an hour, and we'll touch it in when we wait!"

After three louder sounds, there was a group of footsteps in the wall, and the two of them glanced at each other, touched the wall again, and listened with their ears pricked up for a while, as if there was nothing wrong, and suddenly jumped in.

"Go your separate ways, I'll go to the study to see if there is a list of diners, you go and check around, pay attention to the garrison patrol time, and help me keep an eye on the spot."

This is a needle in a haystack action, a very stupid method, but everyone can't afford to wait any longer, half a month has been a long time, even if there is no clue left for killing the Qin people before, but as a wanderer, when I go to find them, I may have reported it, and suddenly I didn't see anyone alive or dead, and the fool was suspicious of these four people.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is most suitable to do something that cannot be seen, but Yu Zhou suddenly had a big head when he saw the bamboo slips in the room, but fortunately, Li Tian's various official documents were placed quite neatly, and each roll of bamboo slips was hung with a strip of cloth and marked separately.

After finding a corner of the back door and blowing the fire fold, he began to search carefully, and when he finally found the directory, an hour had passed, and he quietly listened to the door, and there seemed to be footsteps again, well, it seems that he patrols once an hour at night.

His eyes had almost become a retrieval tool, his eyes were dry and astringent, and he didn't let go of every entry with an item that was seven feet seven inches, but after looking around, he didn't find a name similar to Xiang Liang's age.

That's pretty much it, looked at the sky, it was too late to pass it again, and lightly put the slip back in its place, Yu Zhou blew out the fire, and he planned to wait for his eyes to get used to it before going out.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound outside the door, and under holding his breath, the pores of Yu Zhou's body were about to open, and the crossbow was ready to go.

A familiar figure crept in.

"How? What did you find? ”

"No, it's the same age and skin as Uncle Xiang, and there is no one."

"I've got something to gain."

"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

"In the rockery of the backyard, there is a dark prison, and there is a faint sound of torture in it, do you say the head of the house will ......?"

"It's not good to stay here for a long time, let's talk about it when we go back!"
