It was already dusk when I carried Xie Qing back to Zhuji City, on the surface, Zhuji City was no different from the past, I was worried that my joint bandits robbed beautiful women and killed officers and soldiers would be known, so I sat at the far side of the city gate and waited, and asked Xie Qing to go to the city gate to investigate the specific situation.

It took Xie Qing a long time to return, after all, the blood blisters on the soles of her feet still hadn't healed, and every step became extremely difficult, so I greeted her: "How is it?" ”
Xie Qing looked around and whispered, "Young Master, everything is the same as before, and there are no notices posted at the city gate." ”
I nodded, still a little apprehensive in my heart, stopped an old man who was going home from the city after selling vegetables, and said with a smile: "Uncle, sell me your car!" ”
The old man was slightly stunned, his cloudy eyes blinked vigorously, and the white beard pouted: "This car cost me a lot of hard work......
I impatiently threw him a piece of broken gold, and the old man grabbed the gold, threw down the cart and hurried out of the city, which was worth fifty copper coins at best, and he thought he had met a fool.
I helped Xie Qing to sit on the cart, grabbed the hat on the cart and put it on my head, and then swaggered into the city with the cart, thinking that I could go smoothly, but I never thought that when I came to the city gate, I was stopped by the guards guarding the gate: "Yo! Isn't this Young Master Lu of the Lingering Fragrance Academy? Why are you dressed like this? ”
The two guards happily came up, it seems that this little tortoise is still a well-known person in Zhuji City, and his disguise still does not hide from the eyes of the guards.
I took off my hat and smiled: "Your eyes are really poisonous enough, your vigilance is really outstanding, Zhuji City has you two such dutiful soldiers, it is really a blessing for the people of Zhuji City, the long-term security of Zhuji City is based on your hard work, comrades, you have worked hard!" I warmly reached out and shook hands with the two of them.
The two guards were confused by my sudden words, and it took them a long time to realize that I was praising them, and laughed: "This is what we should do!" ”
One of the guards said, "Where did Young Master Lu go?" Why are you pushing a broken car? ”
My brain was spinning quickly, and I pointed at Xie Qing and said, "The two of us made a bet to see if we could be recognized by you after dressing up, hehe, I still didn't hide it from you." ”
As soon as he heard the bet, the two guards suddenly came to their senses: "Did Childe win or lose?" ”
I smiled wryly, "Lost!" He took out a small piece of broken gold and stuffed it into the hand of one of the guards: "Give you two a drink, thank you for doing your duty so much for Zhuji City, I am so moved!" ”
I pushed the cart back into the city.
Encouraged by my words and money, the two guards stood straight in front of the door, their eyes scrutinizing passers-by.
Xie Qing and I didn't go directly to Liuxiangyuan, but still returned to the house where we were hiding before.
Before I entered the hospital, I heard Xie Ni's heartbroken cry, Xie Qing's eyes suddenly turned red, I stopped the car, knocked on the door and said, "Open the door!" I am back! ”
It was not Xie Qing who opened the door, but Zhou Fengdie, who was surprised, and her smile quickly disappeared from her face when she saw my appearance: "Little turtle, you are about to kill me!" ”
I smiled and helped Xie Qing out of the car, Xie Qing was so close to me in front of everyone that I was too ashamed to look up.
Zhou Fengdie said sharply: "Xie Qing! Where did you take the young master? ”
Xie Qing was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt on the ground.
I glanced at Zhou Fengdie dissatisfied, and said to Xie Ni, who was standing behind her with two lines of crystal tears on her pretty face: "Xie Ni, Xie Qing's foot is injured, you help her to rest first." ”
Xie Ni answered, and hurriedly walked over to pick up her sister.
Zhou Fengdie said angrily: "Xie Qing, I haven't answered me yet!" ”
Xie Qing's face turned pale with fright.
I smiled faintly and said, "Aunt Zhou, Xie Qing is just my maidservant, let me tell you what happened." ”
Zhou Fengdie's eyes could only soften, and he sighed and said: "Little turtle, I didn't say you, now the Liuxiang Courtyard is in chaos, but you are missing at this critical time, can I not be anxious?" ”
I smiled and said, "Aunt Zhou, I left this day just for the sake of Liuxiang Academy!" ”
Zhou Fengdie looked at me in surprise, got up and closed the courtyard door, grabbed my hand and came to the room, and said nervously: "Little turtle, tell me honestly, what did you do with the hundred taels of gold you took?" I found the IOU left by Shi Kangdang and handed it to her.
After reading the IOU, the expression on Zhou Fengdie's face became more and more solemn: "You lent the gold to Shi Dangdang?" ”
I nodded.
Zhou Fengdie said: "Little turtle, do you know that there was a robbery in Cang'er Mountain yesterday?" ”
Of course I knew, because I was a direct participant in the robbery, but I had a look of surprise on my face: "Who is so bold as to rob?" ”
Zhou Fengdie said: "More than 50 girls, including our Liuxiang Academy, all disappeared in the robbery. ”
I was surprised by how well-informed she was, so I pretended to be angry and said, "Isn't there any reaction from the Zhuji City Guard? ”
Zhou Fengdie sighed and said: "What I want to say is exactly this matter, I have already asked people to find out, in fact, there are only fifteen girls selected by General Fan, who have quietly left Zhuji City as early as two days ago, I suspect that it is Wu Qi, the guard of Zhuji City, who took advantage of this opportunity to make huge profits." ”
I patted the long case angrily: "This king and eight lambs are really daring! ”
Maybe it's because I have no flaws in my play, the doubts in Zhou Fengdie's eyes gradually disappeared, and she said softly: "Actually, I have long known about Shi Dangdang and Fu Cairong, and I was planning to wait for the boss to come back, so I reported to her and fulfilled the two of them, I didn't expect him to borrow gold from you, Shi Dangdang really disappointed me." ”
I said generously: "Just one hundred taels of gold, forget it, it will be regarded as all them." ”
Zhou Fengdie said: "Little turtle, you are afraid that it is too simple, Shi Dangdang's purpose in borrowing gold must be to rescue Fu Cairong, it is impossible for him to succeed alone, as far as I know, there is a bandit leader Zigao in Cang'er Mountain who is his cousin, he will go to him for help nine times out of ten, and the one hundred taels of gold are used to buy the bandits...... Zhou Fengdie paused, and said in a low voice: "I dare to conclude that the robbery of Cang'er Mountain must be related to Shi Dangdang!" ”
I was shocked in my heart, I couldn't imagine that Zhou Fengdie's analysis of things was advancing layer by layer, with such a calm mind and such careful thinking, she was by no means like an ordinary brothel foreman, what is her true identity? I couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Zhou Fengdie thought that I was frightened by her reasoning, and comforted me softly: "Little turtle, the matter has come to an end, since our people are gone, we have to accept the reality, or wait until the boss comes back to make a decision." ”
I feigned righteous indignation and said, "No! Are we just being put together by Wu Qi's bastard for nothing? I can't swallow this bad breath no matter what. ”
Zhou Fengdie said: "At present, everything is just inference, we have no tangible evidence, the top priority is to find out where Shi Dangdang is?" Another thing is who exactly is Wu Qi making this deal with? Little turtle, you just act as if nothing has happened, and don't spoil something big because of impulsiveness. ”
I nodded, and at this time, there was a gentle knock on the door, and Chu Yaoyao's cold voice came from outside the door: "Is Aunt Zhou here?" ”
Zhou Fengdie opened the door, I noticed that Chu Yaoyao was holding a white cloth stained with blood stains in her hand, and I was stunned in my heart, and suddenly remembered that Chu Yaoyao must have checked Xie Qing's injuries, and must have found an arrow wound on her chest, and this time I came to report this matter to Zhou Fengdie.
I hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Chu Yaoyao's slender hand, and held the bloodstained white cloth in my palm.
Chu Yaoyao's clear beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of anger.
I squeezed my eyes at her and said, "Aunt Zhou is very busy, and she has the same thing to tell me." I held Chu Yaoyao's soft and boneless little hand fiercely, for fear that she would shake the whole thing out.
Zhou Fengdie walked over and smiled, "What's the matter?" ”
Chu Yaoyao glared at me fiercely, shook off my arm, I noticed that she had hidden the bloodstained white cloth behind her, and said softly, "Xie Ni asked me to ask you, are you eating here tonight?" ”
I was secretly relieved.
Zhou Fengdie sighed and said: "The people in the Liuxiang Courtyard are panicking, how can I go away, hey!" Forget it, eat it yourself, I'll go first. ”
She turned to me and said, "Little turtle, don't put your mind on those two little girls all day long, or I won't know what to say to your mother when she comes back." ”
I smiled and nodded: "Aunt Zhou, don't worry, I know what to do!" ”
Zhou Fengdie said: "Your injuries should be almost recovered, go back tomorrow, with you there, at least you can help me share some things." ”
