Chapter 372: Shengshi Gambling Street, Li Mingxiu
Not long after, the monkey had rowed the fishing boat and returned, and Wuyin and Wufu all turned over and fished Qin Baichuan from the river. In this season, even if you wear a padded jacket, you feel that the river breeze is biting, let alone soak in the river water? Wuyin, Wufu, and Monkey are okay, after all, they have kung fu in their bodies, but Qin Baichuan is too bad, and he is shivering all over his body.
Putting on his clothes haphazardly, Wufu also draped his clothes over his shoulders, Qin Baichuan lay on the side of the boat and watched the water flow, pointing in the opposite direction to the Hundred Flowers Workshop, and said, "Monkey, go over there!" ”
"I'll come." In terms of flexibility, the monkey is the fastest among the three, but in terms of physical strength, there is no doubt that martial arts are the first. Taking the oars from the monkey's hand, Takeo threw off his arms, and a lonely boat flew in the river.
Wuyin's brain was more flexible than the other two, standing beside Qin Baichuan, and said in a low voice: "Sir, I saw that there were ropes scattered in the secret passage of Fang Cai, and Hu Bo was hit by a sword in his body, but he was thrown in the river, and by mistake he was caught in the secret passage by the river. ”
"Possibly." Qin Baichuan, who had been frightened all night, finally had someone to discuss: "I chased along the direction of the river, can I find the place where Hu Bo was thrown into the river?" ”
Wuyin was silent for a long time before he spoke: "I hope there is, but it's not that simple. ”
Qin Baichuan didn't say anything, and Wuyin analyzed: "Judging from the wounds on Hu Bo's body, it was at least half an hour or even earlier to be thrown into the river, and it is certainly right for us to go in the opposite direction to the water flow, but we can exclude the changes in the river water, let's just say that in this half an hour, it is unknown whether the person who threw the corpse went upstream, or went downstream, and where did he go to chase it?" ”
"Do you have a better way?" I don't know what Qin Baichuan said about Wuyin, he asked in a deep voice.
"Nope." Wuyin shook his head and said, "Judging from the various information we have so far, this is the only clue. Let's chase down along the way, set the time when Huber fell into the water between half an hour and an hour, and try to speed the same as the speed of the river downstream, so that we can find the approximate location of Huber's overboard. After arriving at the place, let's expand the scope of search, maybe we can find clues in the poor mountains and bad waters. ”
Qin Baichuan nodded and gave a thumbs up to Wuyin.
"I'm just telling you what he's going to do." Qin Baichuan had the meaning of appreciation, and Wuyin waved his hand indifferently: "The monkey came to Wangjianglou to report the news, we went to the Qu family's old house together, and encountered several killers on the way...... If it weren't for the monkey's story, we wouldn't have thought that the snake group was actually the power of the master mother. ”
"What's going on with the snake group?" Quxi's whereabouts are unknown, Hu Bo is now unknown about his life and death, and the snake group is estimated to be in chaos.
"The snake group came with us to the Hundred Flowers Workshop." Wuyin explained: "It seems that the people in the snake group still don't know the relationship between the master mother and the husband, so I invited them to meet with the master to discuss countermeasures, but they refused. ”
"Sir, there are also masters in the snake group." The monkey explained, "When the fucking shopkeeper arrived at the Hundred Flowers Workshop and learned that this was the last place where the Mistress had appeared, he carefully identified the ruts on the ground, and by the time we went down the secret passage, they should have already set off. ”
"It's okay that if two groups act at the same time, they won't both reach a dead end." The snake group didn't get involved with him, so there was a little more hope, Qin Baichuan sighed, and suddenly asked, "Did you notify Yuanyuan to help search?" ”
"Sir doesn't know." The monkey didn't speak, and said in five tones: "Miss Liu received the master's letterhead in the afternoon and has rushed back to Qiushan. ”
"Yuanyuan is not in Gangneung?" Qin Baichuan's heart sank.
"Hmm." Wuyin responded: "Although Miss Liu is the leader, the real speaker of Qiu Shanjun is her master, Liu Huasheng Liu's seniors, and Liu's seniors have the grace to raise Miss Liu, so every year when the New Year is approaching, Miss Liu will go back early." This year, Wangjiang Building reopened, and Miss Liu planned to talk about it after the year, but Miss Liu was not disobedient when Mr. Liu sent a letter. ”
"Then who is in charge of the Qiushan Army now? Wang Dali? Qin Baichuan frowned, but there was nothing he could do.
"Wang Dali followed Miss Liu with her, and in the past few days since she left, Niu Yuan temporarily took charge of the internal and external affairs of the Qiushan Army." Wuyin said: "We have been in the Qiushan Army for a long time, and Niu Yuan seems to have some contradictions with Mr...... Therefore, the monkey asked for help from the people of the Qiushan Army, but I stopped him. ”
As he spoke, Wuyin glanced at Qin Baichuan and said, "Sir, although the New Year's end is approaching, the internal and external defenses of the Qiushan Army are lax, but now that the coastal army and the Black Tiger Mountain are fighting endlessly, it is impossible for the Qiushan Army to relax its vigilance, and the master mother disappeared in the Jiangling territory for no reason, and the Qiushan Army has no news...... Don't you think things are a little weird? ”
"You mean......" Qin Baichuan's eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light.
"I just think it's weird...... Niu Yuan returned from the Jiangling border at noon today, Miss Liu received a letter from Mr. Liu less than an hour after he returned, in terms of time, probably Miss Liu arrived in Qiushan, and the main mother quietly disappeared, is it too much of a coincidence? Wuyin was not convinced, so he used a rhetorical tone.
"Maybe it's just a coincidence." Wuyin said it reasonably, and Qin Baichuan was also alert, but if you think about it carefully, it is unlikely. The relationship between himself and Liu Yuanyuan is getting better and better, Niu Yuan is sure that he is uncomfortable, but he doesn't know that Qu Xi is his wife, and the inference of kidnapping her to warn himself seems to be a little untenable.
"Wuyin, who do you think is most likely to kidnap Quxi and injure Hu Bo?" Putting Qiushan Junniu aside, Qin Baichuan asked again.
"The housewife has been in the mall for so long, there must be a lot of people who have offended openly and secretly, plus the housemother is naturally beautiful, and there are many people for other motives, so it's not easy to confirm." Wuyin had already considered this question, so he replied without hesitation: "However, now it can be basically concluded that the whole thing has nothing to do with Cheng Yangtian and Xiao Yu." ”
"How so?" Seeing Qin Baichuan nodding, the monkey who couldn't understand it on the side spoke: "The master mother has gained huge benefits in this tripartite cooperation, how can Cheng and Xiao swallow this breath?" Hu Bo appeared in the Hundred Flowers Workshop again, maybe this is Cheng Yangtian's method. ”
"On the way here, you told me that the master mother used the means of cutting grass and eradicating the roots this time, and killed all the dead soldiers of the Cheng family, and the head of the Xiao family also became the head of the master mother, within this day, where do you let Cheng Yangtian and Xiao Yu get the masters who can hurt Hu Bo?" Wuyin shook his head and said: "Speaking of the truth, it is true that they were played by the master mother, and it is true that they want to kill the master mother in their hearts, but at this time they are more afraid of the master mother than anyone else." Both of them knew the relationship between the husband and the master's mother, and when the master's mother had an accident, the husband must be angry with them. If it is normal business competition, they have the courage to call out, but they can play these tricks, how dare do you think the two businessmen have to openly confront the Qiushan Army and the Coastal Army? ”
"You seem to have a point...... But I can't think of anyone other than them who would attack the mistress, and what the motive was? The monkey asked, puzzled.
"I don't know who it is, but there shouldn't be more than three motives." Wuyin raised three fingers: "One is for money, the second is beauty, and the third is ...... I'm afraid it's still related to Mr. ”
"If you exclude Cheng Yangtian and Xiao Yu, there are two others who are the most suspicious." There is a way that there is a lot of power in people, and with this analysis of the five tones, Qin Baichuan felt that the fog that lingered in his mind gradually dissipated, and gradually formed a clear vein.
"Who is it?" Wuyin and the monkey asked at the same time.
"I'm not sure right now, let's take a look." Qin Baichuan narrowed his eyes and said gloomily: "If not, monkey, you rush to the Qiushan Army overnight and let Yuanyuan return to Jiangling quickly." Even if I dig three feet into the ground, I will find Qu Xi and skin and cramp the person who took her away! ”
Qin Baichuan's voice was cold and unconcealable, Wuyin smiled, but the monkey silently prayed for the people who kidnapped Quxi. Mr. showed this expression, either don't let Mr. catch it, otherwise, the end will be worse than a thousand cuts.
"Takefu, go around the mountain in front of you and go down the river to the right." Qin Baichuan identified the direction and commanded decisively.
"Okay." Takeo agreed, his left hand shook quickly, the boat turned to the right, he looked up, and said, "Sir, the mountain in front is not far from the main city, and the mountain is gentle, and there are still people living in it, and the thieves don't seem to hide the master mother there." ”
"There is no place to hide people on this mountain, but what about behind the mountain?" When he arrived at the fork of the river, Qin Baichuan carefully observed the flow direction of the river, and the flow of the water was like a "Y" shape, the two tributaries converged again, and the water became more turbulent, and the final flow direction was clearly the Baihua Workshop.
"Sir, isn't there a ...... behind the mountain" The monkey was stunned: "Do you suspect that they did it?" ”
"Or else?" Qin Baichuan asked rhetorically: "Although Da Song is big, there are only two or three people who have an enmity with me and Qu Xi, excluding Cheng and Xiao, who else can do this kind of thing under the nose of Qiu Shanjun, who else can there be?" ”
During this time, it has been the monkey who has been following Qin Baichuan to do things, and they know that they are ambiguous, but Wufu and Wuyin are puzzled and want to ask clearly, but Mr. Qin's eyes are always looking ahead, and none of them can speak.
When the fishing boat docked, Qin Baichuan got off the boat and walked up the mountain path, the monkey explored the way in front of him, and after the Wufu Palace, Wuyin walked side by side with Qin Baichuan. The mountain is not very high, and after a meal, you have reached the top of the mountain.
Standing at the top of the hill and looking down, at the foot of the hill is a wide street that leads directly to the main city of Gangneung. There is a saying that the Chinese New Year's Eve is observed, and if the lights are not turned off this night, the next year will be prosperous, so the shops on both sides of this street are hung with red lanterns, and all kinds of people gather in one place, and the noise of boiling noise is clearly transmitted from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
"This is ......" waited to see the situation at the foot of the mountain clearly, Wuyin frowned: "Shengshi Gambling Street? ”
"Shengshi Gambling Street?" Wufu caught up from behind, Qin Baichuan's things they also knew clearly in the monkey's mouth, seeing that Qin Baichuan took them to the Shengshi Gambling Street, Wufu groaned: "Sir, do you think that the fourth master of the Qu family and Ying Tiannan of the Qianjin Gambling House kidnapped Miss?" ”
"Is it impossible?" Qin Baichuan walked down the mountain road.
"Of course not!" Wu Fu is more straightforward, and said: "People in the rivers and lakes are full of words, no matter how much hatred there is, it will pass when it passes." I heard the monkey say, Anyang Qunfangtang, Desheng Gong personally resolved the contradiction between you and Ying Tiannan, how could he stab a knife in the back? ”
"Ying Tiannan won't, can you guarantee that Li Mingxiu won't either?" Wuyin was obviously more long-term than Wufu had foreseen, and he admired Qin Baichuan for finding the most reasonable possibility under the chaotic situation, and he sneered: "In other words, what if Ying Tiannan is Li Mingxiu's person? ”
"This ...... I didn't think about it. Wufu was dumbfounded for a while, Mr. and Wuyin's brains were so terrible that he couldn't understand it at all: "After Li Mingxiu's rebellion, Desheng Gong blockaded the entire Anyang, and besides, there is a hill army in Jiangling...... How could he have gotten in? ”
"Li Mingxiu has been in Anyang for so many years, how can the government not have his cronies? It's really easy to get out of Anyang, as long as he wears an official uniform, Desheng Gongming knows that Li Mingxiu is mixed in the crowd, how dare he draw a knife against the government? It is not difficult to blend into Jiangling, during this time, Yuanyuan was busy looking at Jianglou, and all the defense matters were handed over to Niu Yuan...... Heh, I don't know much about Niu Yuan, but the Qiu Shan Army has barely managed to break even over the years, and Li Mingxiu took out a few thousand taels of silver to buy a road, Niu Yuan won't agree, right? Qin Baichuan licked his lips: "Niu Yuan and Li Mingxiu have long colluded, so Qu Xi disappeared inexplicably, and Niu Yuan didn't care." Heh, kind of interesting. ”
"Uh...... Still Mr. is awesome. Wufu gave Qin Baichuan a thumbs up and grinned: "I heard that Duke Desheng almost turned Anyang over in order to find Li Mingxiu, if it is really as Mr. said, Li Mingxiu hiding in Jiangling is really a wonderful move!" ”
"It's wonderful, but he shouldn't have the idea of fighting Quxi!" Qin Baichuan smiled coldly, and in his heart he had already sentenced Li Mingxiu to death.
"That's not right!" Wu Fu patted his head and said: "Sir, Li Mingxiu shouldn't know about your relationship with your mother, if you have an enmity with you, he sent someone to trouble you, why did he kidnap your mother?" ”
"On Anyang's own territory, Li Mingxiu can't help Mr., when he first arrives, he still dares to attack Mr. It couldn't be simpler to kidnap the housemother, although Li Mingxiu took a lot of silver from the coastal army this time, but the expenses in the process of running away must be large. Wuyin added: "The mistress is a well-known little rich woman, if there is another news from the fourth master Qu, who will be arrested if the mistress is not arrested?" chose to start at such an opportunity, obviously wanting to draw the attention of the government to the Cheng and Xiao families...... I have to say that if Li Mingxiu is really the mastermind behind the scenes, he has a good calculation. ”
"Whether it's Lee Myung-so or not, you'll know right away." As he spoke, he walked to the foot of the mountain, and the signboard of the Qianjin Gambling House was already impressive, and Qin Baichuan lowered his voice.
