Chapter 578: Knocking
Wan Wanxiong smiled bitterly, "We have no clues to find, everyone is chasing the wind and speculating randomly, and inviting Shuangqi to come, isn't it a joke?" Besides, if it was really Xu Feilong who came alive to ask about the crime, there were Mo Fei last year, and there were more than 30 people who captured him by land and water, and I don't know how many others rushed to deliver the news, what was the result? There is no body in the dead of Jiang Ao, and the life and death of him and the unknown little girl are also unknown, but nearly half of you are dead and injured. If it is really him this time, please invite a friend to come to help, whether anyone dares to come to the appointment, it is really unpredictable, besides, dragging a friend into the water, after all, it is not moral. ”
The Flying Rainbow Swordsman was a little displeased, but it was not easy to express. Lin Qingqing raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "If Uncle Wan is afraid of being involved in the whirlpool, just stay out of the matter." A good man is a good man, and his niece is a woman, and she can still afford to let it go, and she is not afraid of Xu Feilong's revenge. ”
Wan Wan Xiong shook his head and said: "I don't blame you for being dissatisfied, let alone deliberately staying out of the matter, but not wanting to involve others, at the moment we have no clues, and we haven't even figured out who the other party is, how to find an excuse to ask a friend for help?" Besides, it is too casual to invite friends from the rivers and lakes to help with some trivial matters, and not only does no one come to meet the appointment, but it causes misunderstanding and is blamed. That's why I don't think so. ”
The five-clawed dragon said angrily: "Of course, I will never stay out of the matter, no one can stand idly by, brothers are duty-bound, to do their best, we must not let people say that we are a group of poor insects to be slaughtered, no one can stay out of the matter." ”
"What do you think Brother Zhang?" The Rainbow Swordsman asked.
"This man must have infiltrated outside the city, so let's search in different divisions and assign eyeliners to keep an eye out for strangers. At the same time, the search for the whereabouts of Gu and Li must be carried out as soon as possible. ”
Wan Wanxiong also said: "Brother also went to invite friends from the government, and brothers from all walks of life made every effort to visit, so I took Brother Zeng's place as the contact point, and if there is news, I will spread it here, how about it?" ”
The Feihong swordsman said sincerely: "Thank you, brother, I am grateful and grateful." The brothers have asked the friends of the government to help, they are spreading the eyeliner to step up the search, it is best for us to go out separately, I don't know what you think? ”
The five-clawed dragon stood up and said, "I don't need to say anything else, let's discuss the matter of the partition search." I will be in charge of the north of Jiangmen, west of the north gate, two water and land roads, and set up eyeliner to conduct a thorough search, which I can still do. ”
The crowd began to discuss the plan of the zoning search, and decided how to proceed according to the number of people they could use and the area they were familiar with.
In the end, a reward will be uploaded: arrest the murderer Fang Shan, reward a thousand taels of gold, live or die. Wait for a lot of money and never break your word.
As soon as the bounty came out, the wind in the city was suddenly urgent, and the undercurrent was agitated.
The five-clawed dragon left Zeng's mansion and turned along the street to Huiqiao East Lane, he wanted to find the octopus Kang He, who had retired to the rivers and lakes in his early years, for advice.
The drizzle is falling, the laneway of Huiqiao East Lane is narrow, and the outer courtyard walls of the mansion are all on both sides, and the courtyard doors of each house are closed tightly, and few people walk in the alley. Even if there were, it was one or two people who hurried by in a robe, wearing a rain hat.
The alleyway twists and turns, and just after a corner, footsteps can be heard from behind.
The five-clawed dragon didn't care, because not far ahead, there was the house of the octopus Kanghe.
Suddenly, he was surprised? The footsteps were still thirty or twenty meters away just now, why did they approach behind him?
I was about to turn my head to watch, when suddenly a voice came into my ear: "Your Excellency, hello!" ”
The five-clawed dragon was taken aback and sprang forward alertly.
Running out two feet away, his feet just touched the ground and he was waiting to turn around to defend himself, when there was a sound of "Peng", and the vest was hit.
The five-clawed dragon felt like a heavy hammer impact, its qi and blood surged, its eyes turned black, its throat was sweet, and the person instantly planted forward.
Before he could fall to the ground, his shoulders were grabbed.
"Bah......" the five-clawed dragon roared, twisting and attacking with an elbow.
It was late, with a "poof" sound, the shoulder bone was cracked, the left shoulder was slapped, and the right shoulder was buckled in the shoulder well point, and the whole body suddenly became weak and lost resistance.
Then, the throat was locked with an iron fist from behind, pressing his body down, and he had no chance to resist.
"Hmm......" The five-clawed dragon struggled to scream, trying to call for help.
Suddenly, a voice came out of his ears, shaking his eardrums: "The surname is Zhang, you heard me clearly, don't think about calling for help, don't waste your efforts." ”
The iron fist loosened a little, and the five-clawed dragon came back to his senses and asked with difficulty, "You...... Who are you? ”
"Someone who warns you."
"What do you want to warn me?"
"Your five-clawed dragon is also a person with a head and a face in the rivers and lakes."
"Your Excellency complimented you."
"Come forward to help the Chen family, you are embarrassed, it is incumbent on you to deal with the blackmailers, as a local senior, it is not an exaggeration for you to come forward, so I don't blame you."
"You...... Are you Fang Shan? ”
"You don't have to ask who I am."
"How do you want to"
"There are two things for you to do, and they are also a final warning."
"If you have any advice, you can tell me."
"First, you're not the one who hunted down Xu Feilong last year, so you'd better stay alone. Do not get involved. Otherwise, it will be too late for you to regret it. Second, please tell Wan Jia that his Erjiang boat company is not going to close its doors. Otherwise, he will be in the same league as the Feihong Swordsman. ”
"Is this a condition?"
"Not bad."
"Do you want a reply?"
"Of course the reply is good, it doesn't matter if you don't, anyway, I've already warned you. It's not going to be me who is unlucky. ”
"Zhang ......"
"Do not rush to answer, you may think twice before replying. Rumors and rumors are unreliable, and what is in front of you may also be false......"
"Your Excellency's extortion of the gold of Maoyuan Oil Mill is not fake, right?"
"Yes, it's true."
"Is blackmail deserved?"
"Isn't a little gold enough for a life? Is it a lot of money from the Chen family? ”
"Don't use ...... words"
"Humph! Who said it was a strong word? Do you want me to give you the same gold in exchange for your life? Do you want it? ”
"This ......"
"I don't want to talk nonsense with you. I am a person with clear grievances, I don't repay my kindness as a gentleman, I don't repay my revenge as a wrongdoer, if you interfere in my affairs, you are ready to pay the price. We have no grudges. That's why I warn you in advance, that I'm a man of grievances. No warnings will be accepted. It's just in your thoughts. ”
"What's going on with Xu Feilong? Is Xu Feilong a murderer? ”
"Of course Xu Feilong is innocent."
"That Mo Fei ......"
"If Xu Feilong repels the person who prepared the corpse pit for Yunmo Shuangqi. Yunmo Shuangqi is afraid that he has already died there, but it is still Xu Feilong who saved Yunmo Shuangqi. ”
"Then why ......"
"It's useless to talk too much, there will be a period later."
The five-clawed dragon stood there like a zombie in the rain, and although the shoulder well was sealed by internal strength for a short time, it also made his whole body stiff and lose all his strength. I didn't hear footsteps, and I wondered if the other party had left.
After a long time, a pedestrian came in the distance, and when he got closer, he saw that it was him, and nodded with a smile to say hello: "Oh! It's Zhang Dongjia, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you want to sit down in the house? ”
The five-clawed dragon shook his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "It turned out to be Boss Cao, it's really been a long time." I'm going to go to Brother Kang's place, and I'll have time to visit the house another day. Good bye. ”
"Zhang Dongjia, please, goodbye."
Boss Cao left, the five-clawed dragon took the opportunity to turn around, the alley was lonely, and there was still half a figure?
The five-clawed dragon sighed and muttered to himself, "It seems that I am indeed old. The years are not forgiving, I am already in the age of sixtieth, why bother still not to accept the old, fighting in front of people to win this idle matter? Forget it! You're already a clawless old dragon. ”
The five-clawed dragon had already moved the idea of raising obscurity, and walked forward, his steps seemed lazy, as if he had aged for ten years, and the feeling of the end of the hero came spontaneously.
Knocking on the door of the octopus's courtyard, someone inside opened the small window hole on the door and exclaimed, "Huh! It's Zhang Lao, a rare guest. Please wait a minute, I'll open the door. ”
"No need, just drop by. Is your master at home? ”
"Not there."
"Did he say where he went?"
"Someone sent a letter in the morning, and the owner was restless all day after reading it, so he went out and has not returned."
"Oh! When your master returns, please greet me, and I will take my leave. ”
"The small ones are not sent.
Leaving the Kang family, the five-clawed dragon walked out of the alley and rushed to Guangrunmen Alley, thinking that the Sanjiang Boat Traveling Ten Thousand Men should have arrived home.
As I walked, I saw that it was the Longevity Palace. From a distance, he saw a bunch of people crowded on the side of the street, pointing to the square in front of the palace. Under the big cypress tree in front of the palace, there is a group of people talking about it.
The five-clawed dragon approached the crowd next to him, greeted a middle-aged man, and said with a smile: "Huh! Hu Shaodong, how do you start beating the gong? ”
Hu Shaodong's family turned his head in surprise, and hurriedly said, "Zhang Lao is joking." Just now I saw with my own eyes a man wearing a rain hat and a cloak who captured the old Taoist Qingxuzi in front of the palace. ”
"Oh! Is it the Qingxuzi nicknamed Tiebu Shenshu? ”
"It's him, that's right."
"Where did you go? Qing Xuzi didn't resist? ”
"I only heard him call for help, and the two of them walked in the direction of the city gate with each other, Qingxuzi seemed to be unable to walk, but his feet were fast."
"What does the man who captured him look like?"
"The rain hat is worn too low to see clearly, and he is very tall." The five-clawed dragon's heart jumped, and he said to himself, "The catastrophe is here! The other party is already doing it, and Tiebu Shenshu once participated in chasing Xu Feilong, but this time it was more auspicious. "The third missing person is the Iron Bu God Calculation Void Son, who was taken hostage in broad daylight in front of the Wanshou Palace.
The five-clawed dragon and the 10,000-strong male were all warned. The old octopus received a threatening letter and was warned not to intervene in the ups and downs in the rivers and lakes, and not to intervene in the disputes between the two sides.
Of course, there were many other people who received warning letters, but they did not want to make a noise for the sake of face. There are also some people who are quiet in the open, unhappy in the dark, and decide to deal with the sender.
The people who participated in the hunt for Xu Feilong last year were invisibly isolated. Usually, the Zeng family often has guests coming to the door, but at this time, it has become cold and sparse in front of the door. The world is hot and cold, you can't complain about the sky, when this is fatal, who wants to come out and ask for troubles and burn yourself?
That night, two more people disappeared, that was Li Sheng, the god of Wugui, and Deng Xiao, the god of Nanpumen.
On this day, a small fishing boat came to Yangzizhou in the west of the city, quietly sailed into the dry reeds on the riverbank, and a fisherman carried a fishing rod on his shoulder, wore a coat and a rain hat, and walked to the Yangtze Village in the east of the continent.
Yangzizhou is very large, with low forests scattered on it, and the withered reeds are as tall as people. There are more than 100 households in Yangzi Village in the east of Zhoudong, and more than half of them are fishermen. There are fishermen coming and going on the continent, and it is very common. In the east of the village lived a family surnamed Feng, the owner is called Feng Quan, nicknamed Loach, this Feng Ye is slender, in the Five Lakes Boat Company, is the chief steward of the boat line, but also the iron-backed Canglong's right-hand man, the last time he chased and killed Xu Feilong, he mobilized the ship to make a big effort, he was nicknamed the Loach, of course the water nature can not be better.
After the disappearance of the iron-backed dragon, the pedestrians of the Five Lakes boat were terrified, and they were worried about the impending catastrophe day and night.
The loach is no exception, he is also worried about the iron-backed dragon, but he has sent all his friends to inquire, but the news has sunk into the sea, and he is inevitably worried about Zhongzhong, and he is extremely depressed.
He had been in a hurry for two days, and his mind was so sleepy that his eyes were bloodshot, and he obviously needed to rest, so he left the ship last night and prepared to go home for a night's rest, so that he could recharge his energy and regain his spirits.
Early in the morning, it was still drizzling and there was no sunny day, Feng Quan opened the firewood door, looked up at the sky, and said to himself: "It won't be sunny in about ten days and a half months." ”
Feng Quan put on a cloak made of oil silk, put on a hat, went out and brought the door to the door and said loudly: "Second brother, I am leaving, someone is looking for me, tell him to go to the boat to find it." ”
"Let's come back and sleep tonight, you really have to rest, if you continue like this, your body will be dragged down." Someone shouted in the room.
Feng Quan rubbed his big eyes covered with red silk and said, "I know, be careful of the portal, let the little ones not go out and run around, I can only come back when I am free at night." ”
As soon as he stepped into the rain, an old fisherman came from the opposite side, beckoning and shouting, "Seal the steward, go to the city?"
"Yes, you're ......," Feng Quan greeted in surprise.
"Huh! You are really a noble person who forgets things, I am the autumn water man of Phoenix Continent, I haven't seen you for two or three years, no wonder you have forgotten. ”
"Autumn water man? I'm sorry, my memory is just bad, and I can't remember my uncle. Uncle is here......"
"I drank too much in your village last night, and I'm going to go into the city this morning, just on the same road, let's go."
The loach is a person on the boat, so naturally it is impossible to know the fisherman on another continent, but there are fishermen all around, and he is not wary of people of this status at all, so he walks beside the old fisherman and walks towards the dock.
It is about half a mile from the entrance of the village to the wharf, so that the water does not flood the village when the water rises, and the path is full of freshly sprouted reeds on both sides. After walking more than 100 meters, the old fisherman smiled and said: "Chief steward, there is an empty boat in the west of the continent, not a ghost ship, can you please explain to the village that this boat will be given to the old man to use, okay?" ”
"There's a ship floating to the west of the continent?"
"Yes, it's a clipper."
"Will it be ......?"
"Would you like to go and see it?"
"This ...... I'm not flawless! ”
"It doesn't take much time to go and see it, it seems that there is a letter on it, but unfortunately the old man is illiterate."
"Really?"
"How is it not true? Looks like there's a knife left? ”
