Chapter 41: There is a successor

I slept well in my own home, and woke up in the morning with Wu Lao Er in good spirits. After eating the breakfast sent by the next person, Wu Lao Er had to sigh that Qian Gaze was indeed as delicate as a man could not match. Even if he is not in Daye City, he will arrange the things he has given him properly. All the servants, maids, cooks, gardeners, and even grooms entered their mansions and kept the great mansion in order in their own absence. casually looked at the deeds of sale of these subordinates, all of them were clean and innocent people. Wu Lao Er sighed fakely, "This evil feudalism! ”

Walking towards the Jinyi Guard's Yamen, he has been absent for several days, and he always feels that there are too many things to do, but he doesn't know where to start for a while. I simply went to Jinyiwei to have a look, and then arranged business matters.

"Your Excellency is back? Don't take me there to see the adults right away! ”

When Duan Tianbao heard the report from his subordinates that Wu Lao Er was in the Yamen, he immediately shouted that he wanted to go to see the commander of the capital, after all, he had just hugged this thigh, and he had to show the loyalty of the dog's legs! So he hurried to the Jinyi Guard's yamen, and ran to Wu Laoer's office without even caring if someone greeted him.

"The subordinate Duan Tianbao has seen the adult, is the adult okay?" Looking at the gauze on Wu Laoer's head, Duan Tianbao trembled in his heart.

Wu Lao Er was looking at the report about the assassin a few days ago, and when he heard this, he raised his head and said, "Oh, Lord Duan is here. Nothing, come, sit. ”

After Wu Lao Er said to Duan Tianbao with a pleasant face, he immediately said to Yuan Jiang, who was waiting on the side: "Show Lord Duan tea, and then you can go out first, and inform everyone, I will invite everyone to dinner in the backyard of the yamen at night." ”

"Yes, sir." Yuan Jiang replied obediently, then poured tea for Duan Tianbao, and slowly took two steps back and went out. He knew that this was Lord Wu who had something to say to Lord Duan, and although he wanted to know what it was, he didn't have that qualification yet. But he felt that sooner or later he would be qualified, loyalty, he never lacked!

Seeing Duan Tianbao drink a cup of tea, Wu Lao Er said slowly, "It's really thrilling this time, Old Duan, your experience is still not good, we have all got the news in advance, and there will be such a big basket." If it weren't for the prince's blessing, our brothers would not be able to cut off their heads. ”

Wu Lao Er didn't mean any reproach in his words, he just said this sentence plainly. He still doesn't bother to do this kind of thing, but Duan Tianbao should still be beaten. I just encountered such a big thing when I first came, and it is inevitable that something will go wrong, but you Duan Tianbao have been a Jinyi guard for so many years, and you have always been the head snake of Daye City, so you don't have any constructive suggestions at all, either you sincerely see that I am in trouble or you really don't have any ability.

If it's the former, it's okay, Wu Lao Er is sure that he can solve it easily. But if it's the latter, you can't do it without putting a lot of thought into it.

Duan Tianbao's face turned red when he heard this, and he stood up and said sneeringly: "The subordinates are incompetent, and they have fallen into danger for the prince and the lord. Fortunately, the prince and the adults are fine, otherwise the subordinates are really to blame! It's just that I hope that my lord will forgive my subordinates on the basis of their loyalty, and this kind of thing will not happen again in the future. ”

Duan Tianbao is not smart, but he is not stupid either. He knew that he had indeed failed to fulfill his duty this time, and he also saw that Wu Lao Er did not mean to punish him, but he still had to show his attitude. He also wants to take advantage of Wu Laoer's shareholder wind to rise to the top.

Wu Lao Er said expressionlessly: "It's not that the official wants to blame you, you Lao Duan should also know how big the matter is this time." Fortunately, it was the prince's trust in the official that he did not hold you and me accountable. But you also have to know that if there is such a thing, even if the prince wants to protect it, he can't keep his own official, and at that time, will you still be able to enjoy this great city. ”

Duan Tianbao hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will die in the future to repay the kindness of my lord and the prince!" ”

"Well, let's just get over this matter, and you give me all the things we have in our hands."

Duan Tianbao was like being amnestied, and he was busy telling Wu Lao Er about the information he had investigated these days.

"Two days ago, the deacon Hai Gonggong who came from the capital has confirmed that the assassin is from Kongming Mountain, but his subordinates are incompetent, and it has not yet been investigated where the assassins were hiding before the murder. These days, the subordinates have been sending people to inquire outside, but there is no clue at all, and now we can only assume that these assassins were hiding in the mountains in advance. But Lu Xing and the others were not, on the day of the assassination, the guards guarding the city gate saw Lu Xing and the others go out of the city. As for what the three of them did in the city and where they were hiding, it has not yet been found. In the past few days, Zhang San and Li Si have been leading the team to investigate these things, and the Hakka generals of the City Lord's Mansion have also been secretly investigating, but there seems to be no progress. The subordinates also contacted the three gang leaders of the Four Seas Gang, and now the Four Seas Gang has also sent people to investigate this matter. ”

Wu Lao Er frowned, he was not dissatisfied with Duan Tianbao's efficiency, although Duan Tianbao was indeed not efficient at all. According to Duan Tianbao's words, Lu Xing and Guo Yi went out in the city that day, so the problem came, the assassination on the day of the Double Ninth Festival was a plan drawn up by the Black Jade Kingdom. At the end of the assassination, the masked woman who led the team actually left the city with two masters. Is it because the three of them were tripped up by someone or something in the city? Wu Lao Er really couldn't understand it, the development of things was too confusing, and an assassination plan full of loopholes ran into himself, an inexperienced commander. He could have succeeded in the assassination, but failed because the three leaders were absent, but he almost became an assassin because of his own cleverness. Although he finally killed Lu Xing and Guo Xu, he almost killed Huangquan. And although he almost died, he made a verbal marriage contract with Xia Keke because of a blessing in disguise

"Alas, it's too messy." Wu Lao Er deeply felt that his brain was not enough, why didn't he change his brain to a smarter one? If you want to say that you make a small fuss about stumbling under the conspiracy and playing tricks, you should not be able to use the bumpy experience of your previous life for decades. But it goes without saying that you are the one who makes the conspiracy stumble and play tricks, and if you let yourself guard against these means, it will be a bit embarrassing. He is naturally an offensive character, even if he thinks of some intrigues, it is also a means to go to the yin in order to cooperate with his own attack, not a politician's method of laying out the net anytime and anywhere.

Over there, Duan Tianbao saw that Wu Lao Er's expressionless face was silent, and thought that it was the commander who was dissatisfied with his work, so he hurriedly said: "My lord, these assassins are all professionally trained, and we are passive in defense, so it is indeed not easy to catch their handles." However, his subordinates have already sent people to draw pictures and let Yuan Hai lead people to inquire from house to house. As long as these people have appeared in the city, they are not afraid of not being able to find clues. ”

Duan Tianbao's words woke up the distracted Wu Lao Er, only to see him wave his hand irritably and say, "You can arrange these things, I just want the result." You also know how busy the palace is now, and I can't take too much care of Jinyiwei's affairs for a while, as long as you don't make mistakes, I don't have time to worry about this. ”

"Yes, my lord, rest assured, my subordinates will do their best to find out the results."

"Well, let's go, take me to see the corpses of those assassins, I really want to see the magic of the tattoos in Kongmingshan."

"Oh, it stinks."

Wu Lao Er covered his mouth and nose and circled around a room of corpses, and Duan Tianbao was directing Qi Zuo to bring clean water. Wu Lao Er watched as the tattoo pattern on the assassin's arm slowly turned from black to transparent under the invasion of clear water, and Duan Tianbao explained on the side: "My lord, please look, this is the special feature of the tattoo on Kongming Mountain. Although it is transparent, you can see at a glance what kind of pattern the tattoo is. Generally speaking, there are so many materials for tattoos, no matter how magical they are, they will not become such incomprehensible colors, so it is difficult for outsiders to pretend to be. ”

Wu Lao Er nodded and asked, "What about Lu Xing?" I heard Liu Dugong say that Guo Yi was secretly cultivated by Kongming Mountain, and I didn't see if there was such a tattoo on his arm at that time, did Lu Xing? ”

Duan Tianbao shook his head suspiciously, "No." Since the adults said that Guo Yi was from Kongming Mountain, then Lu Xing must be too, but his subordinates really don't know why he didn't have tattoos, otherwise the adults would go and see it in person? ”

Wu Lao Er thought about it and shook his head to veto. My master Hai Dafu has come to see it, and since he didn't say anything to himself, he must have really not. He didn't think that his eyesight and experience could be strong enough to cross the sea, and he was not a corpse lover, so he was not interested in Duan Tianbao's proposal at all.

"Wow, it's fresh air." Wu Lao Er gasped for breath, he was not afraid of corpses, how could a person who had no burden of killing people be afraid of a few corpses, but the smell of people who had been dead for many days really made him unacceptable. At this time, I was newly exposed to the pure natural and pollution-free fresh air, and I naturally breathed in a big gulp.

"It's the fault of the subordinates, they should have had the assassin's arm cut off and brought to the adults to see. However, after cutting it down, there was no such change for a while, but if the action was fast enough, it was still possible, so it was negligent for a while. ”

Looking at Duan Tianbao's apologetic expression, Wu Lao Er suddenly didn't know what to say. Your sister, listen to your tone, it seems that you really cut it down and seen it. It's enough to have a swollen corpse covered with corpse spots, and you can actually cut off a section and take it in front of you to look at it carefully, this is really Wu Lao Er suddenly wanted to say 'I took YOU'.

"People die greatly, and we don't need to abuse their corpses. Since we can't provide any help, let's bury it as soon as possible, and it won't take up space if it's left like this. ”

"Yes, my lord is merciful, and my subordinates are very impressed."

Duan Tianbao looked admiring, and continued: "But what makes his subordinates admire the adult the most is the adult's martial arts. Surrounded by layers of assassins, he led the prince and the city lord Zhao to break through, and then killed Lu Xingyu under the joint efforts of three masters. Presumably, Guo Yi and the masked female assassin will not escape their lives, my lord is really my first-class master in the world! ”

Looking at Duan Tianbao's pretentious performance, Wu Lao Er really wanted to laugh, could he have forgotten how many soldiers and masters there were for him to drive that day? He was still embarrassed by the protection of so many people, and he said that he was facing more than thirty assassins alone. As for the future, he must have heard about it even if he didn't see it. No matter how thick-skinned Wu Lao Er is, he can't bear such praise calmly.

"Old Duan, don't blow it for me, we don't know what's going on." After finishing speaking, his tone changed and continued: "But although I was embarrassed at first, but later, when the official fought Guo Yi and the masked woman alone in the mountains and forests, he was bloody. It's just a pity that although Guo Yi's life was left, he finally let the masked woman run away, alas, where can he be called a first-class master, it's far away, it's far away. ”

Wu Lao Er sighed infinitely melancholy, as if he had let the woman escape because he was careless.

Duan Tianbao immediately said: "Your Excellency is indeed worthy of being a sincere gentleman, and he is also brave and invincible. I think that Guo Yi is known as a hero, and he is a peerless master secretly cultivated in Kongming Mountain, and he is the number one person who can be ranked in Kongming Mountain, and he is even more famous all over the world. The masked female assassin was even more of a master above Guo Xuan, but in the end, it was the adult's unwillingness to destroy the flowers that allowed her to escape. Now the great name of the adult must have been sung in the Seven Kingdoms, and his subordinates are also honored to be the subordinates of the adults. ”

Looking at Duan Tianbao's face full of admiration, he couldn't wait to kneel down and shine Wu Lao'er's shoes. Wu Lao Er really wanted to say to him, 'Child, you have acted too much'.

However, Duan Tianbao touted this guy, and Wu Lao Er was not good at beating smiling people, so he had to shake his hand and smile implicitly.

The two returned to the office while laughing, and Wu Lao Er motioned for Duan Tianbao to sit down, but he picked up a pen and paper and drew it. What is the drawing? The masked female assassin of that day, of course. Wu Lao Er is convinced that no one can remember her height and body shape better than himself, because he has been confronting her for a long time, and later he fought alone, although he didn't see her appearance, but he can provide a little help.

Wu Lao Er in his previous life didn't know how to draw, but he practiced specially when he was in the palace in this life. The training of eunuchs in the palace can be said to spare no effort, as long as there are skills in the world, they will be taught, but it is difficult to say how high the level of achievement is. Wu Lao Er is not a master of this way, and he can barely be regarded as entering the door.

Blowing the ink on the paper, Wu Lao Er took the painting and looked at it, and nodded with satisfaction. Then he beckoned Duan Tianbao to come over and take a look, "This is the masked female assassin, you take it down and let people draw a few more copies, and post them everywhere in the city to see if you can help." ”

Duan Tianbao nodded and said, "Yes, my lord." The subordinates really didn't expect that the adult was an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, not only was his martial arts superb and rarely rivaled, but he was also the top in this Danqing! Subordinates admire, admire. ”

Wu Lao Er looked at his painting again, then looked up at Duan Tianbao's eyes and said lightly: "Old Duan, you still have to practice this skill, it's too traceful." ”

Hearing this, Duan Tianbao looked at the painting in his hand, looked at the extra handwriting that had been smeared by Wu Lao Er, blushed slightly, opened his mouth, and replied loudly: "Follow the teachings of the adults!" ”

Wu Lao Er was dumbfounded, deeply feeling that he had a successor
