He Yuxiang was woken up for no reason, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, but he couldn't make trouble, after all, there were more important competitions waiting for them later.

The three shook their heads at the same time, but none of them spoke.

The guests living upstairs screamed again and again because of the rash intrusion of the errand servants.

It's the same with backyards.

A quarter of an hour later, the searching officers returned to report to the leader.

"Tell my lord, there is no trace of Du Xun upstairs."

"Back to my lord, there is no backyard."

When the leader heard the words of these officers, his face became worse and worse, and when they arrived in Gangneung, they searched from house to house, all night, and now several hours have passed, and there is still no clue.

How can this be explained?

There is no way to go on like this, the leader waved his hand, took one last look at the lobby, and ordered: "Go, continue to search for the next one." ”

After the errand servant was finished, the shopkeeper finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly got up from the ground.

The two young men, who had just been timid and timid, began to chat.

"These officers and soldiers are too arrogant, right? treats an ordinary person like this, and simply doesn't take the laws of the Tang Dynasty into account. A young man took a sip of water and said angrily.

"Don't you know? These officers and soldiers were tracking down the lost peerless jade Peilongpan, and it is said that the treasure thief had fled to Gangneung. Last night, many peasant homes were searched, and the world was turned upside down, as if the thieves did not know that they were here to arrest people. ”

"No wonder it's early in the morning, and there's such a big movement outside."

"These things are not something we can manage, if we can endure it for a while, let's take care of our own little life first, don't meddle in things, so as not to get into trouble."

"You're right, ordinary people like us who have no power or power, it's better to meddle less in this kind of thing."

The two young men sighed as they spoke, and then continued to eat their meals, saying no more.

He Yuxiang propped his head with his left hand and said, "Why do you think we are so unlucky? Everywhere you go, you can hear someone talking about Longpan, last time in Changde, is this Longpan so precious? Since it is so precious, it can still be stolen by people, this palace has really become an inn, you can enter if you want, and you can leave if you want. ”

Li Yi kicked He Yuxiang under the table and reminded: "Yuxiang, there are some things that you can't talk nonsense. ”

He Yuxiang pursed the corners of his lips, and replied weakly: "Yes, boss." ”

Wu Pan was practicing swords in the courtyard, and the senior brother Pang Ye hurried to the courtyard.

"Master, Lord Zhao from the county government has come to visit, and he is now waiting in the hall." Pang Ye saluted Wu Pan and said.

After hearing this, Wu Pan paused for a moment, and then continued to practice the last move before putting away the sword and turning around, with a majestic expression, and said: "Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, midnight, let's go and take a look." ”

"Yes, Master."

Wu Pan handed the sword in his hand to Pang Ye to hold, and then walked in the direction of the hall.

As soon as Wu Pan stepped into the hall, Lord Zhixian, who was sitting on a chair, stood up.

Zhao Jinglei, the magistrate of the county, stepped forward with a smile and said a few polite words: "Master Wu, I haven't seen you for a few months, don't come to harm." ”

"Thanks to Lord Zhao's management of Jiangling, Wu is doing well." Wu Pan also praised flatteringly, and then asked, "But, Lord Zhao, what kind of wind blew you here?" ”

Zhao Jinglei's laughter continued, "Master Wu said that he was laughing, Zhao came uninvited, and asked Master Wu not to blame." ”

Wu Pan: "Since you have come to my Wuqing faction, you are a distinguished guest, midnight, serving tea." ”

"Yes." Pang Ye responded and retreated to serve tea.

Wu Pan noticed the middle-aged man standing next to Zhao Jinglei, his heroic spirit was revealed between his eyebrows, and there were calluses on the tiger's mouth, presumably a person who practiced swords, and asked curiously: "Lord Zhao, who is this next to you?" ”

Zhao Jinglei hurriedly introduced: "Oh, this is Jiang Kuojiang's guard sent by Qian Tingwei of Chang'an to assist Zhao in investigating the case. ”

"Jiang Kuo has seen Master Wu." Jiang Kuo clenched his fists and saluted, and then humbly boasted: "I have long heard that Master Wu is a generation of heroes, and now I can see that he really deserves his reputation, and he really deserves to be the first swordsman in martial arts." ”

"Guards Jiang don't need to be polite." Wu Pan replied: "Wu is just a grass man, but he can't afford it. ”

"Master Wu is modest, this is just the etiquette that the younger generation should fulfill." After speaking, Jiang Kuo put down his saluting hands.

"You two may be seated." Wu Pan stretched out his hand and said.

After Zhao Jinglei and Jiang Kuo were all seated, Wu Pan sat down.

Pang Ye instructed his subordinates to make tea and stand beside Wu Pan after serving it.

Wu Pan was the first to ask, "I don't know why Lord Zhao came this time?" ”

Zhao Jinglei stroked his beard with a smile and said, "Master Wu, you and I have always been good friends, and Zhao will not beat around the bush about some things." ”

Wu Pan stretched out his left hand and made a "please" word: "Lord Zhao, please speak." ”

Zhao Jinglei looked at Wu Pan, put his right hand on the armrest, and asked, "Did the head of the thief Du Xun Wu know?" ”

Wu Pan frowned slightly after hearing this, "The theft does not leave a name, but the world knows that in recent years, Du Xun has relied on a set of stealing skills that never miss a hand and is well-known in the Central Plains, all treasures worth millions of taels, as long as he makes a move, he will definitely be in the bag, and Wu has already heard of this person's deeds." ”

Zhao Jinglei sighed and said: "Yes, but there has been a theft incident in the palace recently, and the lost treasure is the emperor's favorite peerless jade Peilongpan, and the top has been investigating this case, no, just found out that Du Xun had fled to Jiangling a few days ago, and Jiang guards chased after him non-stop, but now there are many outsiders in Jiangling, and it is even more difficult to find Du Xun." Master Wu, you are brilliant and righteous, if Master Wu can help, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Sure enough, Zhao Jinglei came to visit because he had something to ask for, but Wu Pan didn't want to interfere in it, and implicitly excused himself: "Lord Zhao thinks highly of Wu, not to mention that Du Xun himself Wu has never seen it, and this is an internal case of the government, if Wu interferes in it, it is really inappropriate." ”

Zhao Jinglei saw that Wu Pan had no intention of helping, and hurriedly said: "Master Wu, you can see what you say, we are all the emperor's people, and it is an honor to serve the emperor, and now that the situation is urgent, Zhao has no choice but to do it." ”

Oppressed by the emperor's power, Wu Pan had no choice but to ask: "What does Lord Zhao want Wu to do?" ”

Zhao Jinglei saw that Wu Pan did not categorically refuse, and said that there was still room for saving the Yin matter, "It's very simple, we set up a bureau to lure out Du Xun, and then we only need Wu Zhangmen and Jiang Guards to work together to capture Du Xun." ”

Wu Pan's face was gloomy, "Lord Zhao said it easily, that Du Xun has stolen gold, silver and jewelry for so many years and has never been arrested, it can be seen that this person's martial arts are extremely high, relying only on Wu and Jiang guards, I am afraid it is difficult to be up to this task." ”
