At the twenty-fifth hour of the lunar month, the government of Jiangcheng Prefecture.

After a day and a night of searching, nothing was found, and everyone felt anxious.

The huge Jiangcheng wants to hide two teenagers, just like hiding two trees in the forest, especially Xue Hongbi is slippery and tight, even if a disciple of the Wulin League bumps into him outside Yizhuang, he is also cleverly avoided by the flow of people, only a wrong eye will not be seen again, so anxious that the disciple jumps to his feet, and has no face to come back to meet the leader of the alliance.

Fang Huaiyuan finally couldn't hold it back, not only sent all the people to search all over the city, but also led people to break into Luzuo, where did those snakes and rats who wandered in the gutters and culverts have seen such a battle, and they were dragged back to broad daylight before they had time to escape, and even those unsightly deeds were also lifted upside down, but they rescued dozens of women and children who fell into the secret door, this gang of thieves not only kidnapped their wives and daughters to force them to become prostitutes, but also bought and sold children, and those with poor quality were directly mutilated and turned into beggars, the means were outrageous, and when they were dragged out, they cried and called their mothers, Many have been beaten to death and all of them have been sent to the government.

However, Fang Huaiyuan rescued so many children, but he couldn't find his son.

“…… We caught up with the killers, nine in all, but unfortunately all of them killed themselves. ”

In the back hall of the mansion, Yu Wufang slapped off a body of broken snow, took half a cup of hot tea, and said to Gu Shexian: "The poison is embedded in the teeth, as long as it is bitten lightly, it will be poisoned on the spot, exactly the same as the person who ambushed Liu Yishou on the night of the twenty-third day of the lunar month." ”

"Do you know what poison it is?"

"I've seen it from a doctor, it's a mixture of several highly toxic poisons, and it's easy to configure but there's no antidote."

"Have the bodies of those three people in the courtyard of Yizhuang been examined?"

"One was pierced in the chest with a sharp weapon, one had eight fatal wounds on the back of the broken neck, and the rest was pierced through the lower abdomen, and the attacker also twisted the blade, and the intestines were all strangled...... The three men also had poison in their mouths. ”

"That's a bunch." Gu Shooting Immortal helped the fox mask, and the red lips outlined by the bright colors smiled weirdly, "What do the jade seniors think about their origins?" ”

Yu Wufang said: "There are no clues to the identity of the corpse, and no one in the Wulin League recognizes these killers, but the government has found out the case records of several people, all of whom are outlaws who have carried bloody cases, if this kind of person sacrifices his life for someone, it is a suspicion, unless there is something more terrifying for them than death." ”

"I want to hear about it."

"A total of four people were identified, although they have fled home for many years, their relatives are still in the world, the most recent family lives in Yunzhou, I sent someone to inquire quickly, the family has not seen him for three years, but the little grandson of the family was suddenly lost two months ago, disappeared for three days and suddenly returned, and then the family made a fortune, has moved from the township into the city." Yu Wufang's eyes shone slightly, and he looked at Gu Shuxian with a smile, "Hit a stick and give a sweet date, anyway, it's a bad life, and if you die, you will change the safety and joy of your family, if you don't do it, it will affect the whole family, such a means...... It is quite a demeanor to listen to the three-point actions of the rain pavilion. ”

Since the establishment of the Yu Pavilion, there have been many things that have been done to check people's case records and be coerced, but most of the time they don't look down on these reckless, and they are staring at quite important characters.

"In this way, the people behind the scenes know us quite well." Gu Shooting Immortal's fingertips traced the edge of the mask, and there was a little evil in his eyes, "Do you suspect Sect Master Zhou?" ”

"If you talk about the understanding of Tingyu Pavilion, except for the Heaven Replenishing Sect in the rivers and lakes, there is no sect that can stand out, and with the power of the Heaven Filling Sect, it is indeed easy to find a few outlaws to do things for yourself, especially Sect Master Zhou...... As I said last night, he and the Fang Alliance Master are the people who want to find Xue Hongbi the most at the moment, if it is the Fang Alliance Master's doing, even if it is to clear the suspicion, there is no need to put the only son in danger, on the contrary, the Zhou Sect Master has been stranded in the realm for a long time, not long ago he lost the battle in the Liyu River and suffered internal injuries, and it is very important for him to get the entire "Heaven Interception Gong", he can't trust Tingyu Pavilion in this matter, and he can't turn against Tingyu Pavilion for this, so he can only do this thing to cover his ears and steal the bell, leaving some room for both sides, but ......"

Gu Shuxian listened to the words, thinking that she had already decided that this matter was done by Zhou Jiangyun, but she didn't expect the words to change suddenly, and she suddenly became interested: "But what? ”

"It's all too straightforward, and sometimes that's the biggest problem." Yu Wufang put down the teacup, his eyes were as bright as the morning star, "Sect Master Zhou can fulfill his promise to hand over the Yin Book, which shows that although he is not a frank and upright person, he is by no means a fool who only looks at immediate interests, he has spent twelve years to become the biggest ally of Tingyu Pavilion in the rivers and lakes, and he can't destroy the trust between you for the sake of "Heaven Interception Gong", after all, even if these methods cannot be found out with real evidence, it is easy to arouse suspicion, and the most afraid thing about standing in his position is suspicion." ”

The corners of Gu Shexian's lips under the mask were slightly hooked, and he said softly: "Therefore...... Do you think the people behind the scenes are intent on provoking the Listening Rain Pavilion and the Heaven Repair Sect? ”

"I can't think of any other reason than that."

"I'll have people follow this clue to check, and Senior Yu will go back and rest first."

Gu Shexian picked up the teacup, this is the meaning of sending off guests, Yu Wufang did not procrastinate, got up and walked outside.

When she left, a figure appeared behind Gu Shooting Fairy.

Gu shot the fairy head and said without replying: "Let's talk about it, what did you find?" ”

"Back to the landlord, there is indeed a clue between Yu Wuflaw and Zhou Jiangyun." The man said softly, "Lord Yan Lou buried a lot of nails in the Mending Heaven Sect at the beginning, and from the mouths of the old people, I found out that the reason why Zhou Jiangyun was able to worship Fu Yuanyun as a teacher was because he was picked up by Yu Wufang and was accepted as a brother. ”

"How sincere can the younger brother who picked it up be?" Gu Shuxian sneered, "I saw that they had a-for-tat confrontation yesterday, and I thought they had a deep hatred." ”

In order to climb to the high position as soon as possible, Yu Wufang invited himself into the ecstasy cave, Zhou Jiangyun's biological father Zhou Qin was in charge of the ecstasy cave at that time, and took care of her, and waited until the civil strife in Pingkang Twenty-three years to make up the heavens, Zhou Qin died in the hands of the sect master Shen Yu in order to save Yu Wufang, and Zhou Jiangyun, who was only thirteen years old, escaped from Wahuang Peak with her on his back...... After the cleansing, Fu Yuanyu became the new master of the Mending Heaven Sect, and Yu Wufang, a great hero, also became one of the three elders, so she took Zhou Jiangyun back and asked Fu Yuanyu to accept him as an apprentice. ”

"I see...... Gu Shuxian played with the tea cup in his hand, tracing the patterns on the porcelain with his fingertips, as if caressing the eyebrows of a beauty, "So, what does Zhou Jiangyun think?" ”

The man behind him seemed to smile and said, "It is said that although Zhou Jiangyun is thirteen years younger than Yu Wufang, he has a love for her. ”

"Oh?" Gu Shot Immortal was slightly surprised, and then thought of Yu Wufang's surviving peerless demeanor today, and the smile on the corner of her lips deepened, "Young Mu Ai, it's also beautiful, but ...... If I'm not mistaken, Yu Wufang's love and hatred are all given to Fu Yuanyu alone. ”

"Yes, Zhou Jiangyun has a grudge against Fu Yuanyu because of the jade flawless thing, but the jade flawless doesn't seem to appreciate his affection."

"Not necessarily." Gu Shuxian thought of what had happened in the past two days, "I have an idea...... The two groups of killers in the twenty-third and twenty-fourth days of the lunar month may not be in the same group. ”

"This ......"

"The group of people in the twenty-third day of the month is to lure Liu Yishou away and create a chance for Xue Hongbi to escape, they are very familiar with the deployment of the Wulin League, and they did not take the opportunity to arrest people after Xue Hongbi left the North and South Inn, and they obviously have good intentions towards him...... However, the killer who appeared in Yizhuang last night acted ruthlessly, and Xue Hongbi didn't leave any mercy when he started, even if it was to catch him alive, I am afraid that he would have to kill half of his life, and the most important thing is that they acted before us. Gu Shooting Immortal's eyes narrowed slightly, "If I guess correctly, the first group of killers is the person left by Fu Yuanyu, and it is likely to be related to the remnants of the Nine Palaces, and the second group ...... It was indeed the person sent by Zhou Jiangyun, and Yu Wufang would change his words today to excuse him, pushing the two groups of people into a group, wanting me to focus on the first group of people and turn a blind eye to what Zhou Jiangyun did. ”

"What do you mean—"

"It's okay, it's not bad for me." Gu Shexian slowly poured the tea on the ground, "When I was in Changshou Village, I couldn't fight Fu Yuanyu, it was a regret of my life, if Zhou Jiangyun really had the ability to come out of the blue, I would like to see which is stronger or weaker between "Intercepting Heaven Gong" and "Jade Cocoon True Scripture". ”

"But Yu Wufang is about to become the owner of the Shocking Wind Building, if she and Zhou Jiangyun secretly communicate with ......"

"It's been twelve years, and the Heaven Replenishing Sect still hasn't recovered its vitality, Zhou Jiangyun doesn't have the courage to be the enemy of Tingyu Pavilion, if he really wants to take the Jade Flawless to the next level, wouldn't it look better when he falls?" Gu Shuxian laughed, "Do your part." ”

"The subordinates retired."

As when he came, the person behind him disappeared silently.

The undercurrent in the government was surging, but there was a carriage on the Shili Street in Dongcheng that drove unhurriedly until it stopped at the door of the dart bureau.

Known as "the world's first dart" of the Zhenyuan dart bureau in the Central Plains of the major cities are equipped with rudders, backed by the government, facing the green forest, the current master Li Changfeng is not only strong in martial arts but also good at dancing with long sleeves, in black and white can eat open, although there is no child under the knee, but there is a woman who does not let the eyebrows, a few months ago at the beginning of the rivers and lakes encountered a murder and robbery, not only in three days to recover all the goods, but also cut the head of the thief with his own hands, can be described as a blockbuster, and then went a few darts, the courage is better than the man, is already a well-known rookie in the rivers and lakes.

After all, Li Changfeng is old, and his martial arts are no longer at their peak, and he is very happy to see the successors of the Li family, so much so that in the early morning he saw a girl wearing a curtain fence and wearing sackcloth coming down from the carriage, and the porter was only slightly stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he hurriedly stepped forward to help unload the box.

The girl was quite tall, holding a thick big hat, and from time to time she made a hoarse coughing sound, and the porter was afraid that she would freeze again, so she hurriedly invited people into the hall, and the dart head quickly rushed over.

Arrived in the hall, the girl has not taken off the curtain, she claims to be surnamed Du, is a person from Yanzhou, this time to go to relatives, did not expect to come unfortunately, relatives have passed away, the other party's family is not familiar with her, she is alone and has sores, not good to stay in the field for a long time, can only return to the hometown as soon as possible, because of the long distance, need to be escorted by the dart bureau.

It is not difficult to escort a person, but she refuses to show her true face, and the dart head also knows that the wind in Jiangcheng is tight now, and she is a little uncertain for a while, but she saw the girl take out a jade pendant from her sleeve and said: "This matter is related to my life, please be merciful and save me." ”

The dart head took the jade pendant and looked at it, and the word "Ke" of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing was impressively on it.

Three months ago, Li Mingke, the eldest lady of the dart bureau, told the rudder that if someone took her jade pendant to the door for help, as long as it did not violate the law and did not lose the principles of heaven, she would try her best to help.

"This ......"

The dart head accepted the jade pendant, his frowning brows relaxed, and finally said, "Yes, when does the young lady plan to leave and what things are she carrying?" ”

"When I leave at noon today, I only have a box of clothes except me." The girl stood up, put her hands at her waist and bowed, "Thank you for your help." ”

Seeing that she was natural and behaved, although she was covered by thick clothes, she could still see that her daughter's upbringing was very different from the teenagers who were searched by the Wulin League all over the city, and the dart head put her mind at ease, so she felt a little pity for her, opened the box and took a look, and saw that it was really a box of clothes, so she asked someone to take the seal and seal it on the spot, and said: "It's not too early now, Miss Du might as well rest here, and when the food is over, just set off with the dart team." ”

The girl said: "Thank you for your kindness, I have to go back and inform you, and I will be back at noon." ”

For the sake of Yu Pei's face, the dart head personally sent her out, and saw her disappear at the end of the long street, her steps were vain, and she really didn't know martial arts, so she put her mind at ease and turned around and told the dart master to go.

He didn't see that the sickly girl walked around the corner of the street and turned into an alley, which ended in a dead end, and in the corner lay a large box exactly like the one before, in which was not clothes, but an unconscious teenager.

Xue Hongbi took off the curtain fence, his face was as cold as ice, he took off his coat and coat, and inside was a short fight, not afraid of the cold, he carried the box over the wall and sneaked into the backyard of the dart game.

The sealed box just now has been placed on the car, Xue Hongbi took advantage of the inattention of others to swap the two boxes, and stole the seal and pasted it as it was, he left an air hole in this box, which is difficult to be discovered by outsiders, and will not suffocate the people inside.

After doing this, he quietly retreated and went straight to the north of the city.

More than two hours passed in a flash, before noon, the dart head saw the "Miss Du" wearing a curtain fence coming in a car, blessed himself, but did not speak, seemed to be mourning, he only said goodbye to people to hide his sorrow, relieved two times and called people to leave.

At noon, the dart team of the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau set off and headed for the east city gate.

At the same time, a funeral procession in the north of the city also happened to leave home, and walked and cried, rattled the bell and carried the flag, all the way to the west gate.

It just so happened that Zhan Yu and others were searching near the West City Gate today.

There are a lot of people in this funeral procession, men on the left and women on the right, drums and mourning, the old has attracted a lot of people's attention, the funeral customs are different in various places, most of them are funerals at night so as not to collide with others, but during this period of time Jiangcheng closed the city gate at night, and the Taoist priests had to recalculate according to the eight characters of the dead and the feng shui of the yin house, and set it at this time today.

Passers-by retreated to both sides, the funeral procession gradually arrived at the city gate, the officers and soldiers guarding the city saw that the filial piety was a famous master in the city, and they did not want to be embarrassed, and they were ready to let go after reading the documents presented by the yamen and the statement of the Gao family.

"Wait a minute!"

Zhan Yu suddenly opened his mouth to stop, and quickly came with a few disciples of the Martial Arts League, ignoring the whispers of passers-by, he first saluted Master Gao, and said: "Below is Zhan Yu of the Martial Arts League, who is searching for the thief who kidnapped my junior brother all over the city, and everyone must be carefully inspected before they can be released, please forgive me for any offense." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, Zhan Yu's meaning was very clear, he not only wanted to search for people, maybe he had to open the coffin to take a look!

"You-" Master Gao was suddenly angry, and was about to attack on the spot, when the yacha on the side saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly came up and whispered to him.

Although the Gao family is rich, in the end it is a businessman with no reputation, and the Wulin League has a transcendent status in the rivers and lakes, and this time the matter involves the imperial court.

The yacha told the stakes, but Master Gao still had anger on his face, but it was not good to embarrass Zhanyu again, and said coldly: "Since it is the prefect's meaning, my Gao family is not easy to disobey, if you want to search, don't hurt my father's body!" ”

Zhan Yu also knew that he had done too much, and bowed to him again, so he instructed his disciples to search, and walked to the coffin by himself, without having to carry the coffin to put it down, and his palms were against the front end of the coffin lid, and he easily pushed it away, and the light of the sky was shining inside, and he could see at a glance that the coffin was indeed the body of an old man, and there were only bedding and some burial objects.

"Offended." After inspecting it, Zhan Yu pushed the coffin lid back into place, and the juniors and disciples also returned to him and shook their heads at him.

For a while, Zhan Yu was full of loss and worry, and reluctantly smiled at Master Gao, and was about to say something, when someone suddenly rushed over in the distance, and the person said before he got close: "Zhan Shaoxia, go to the East City Gate!" I've found Senior Brother Ling! ”

Zhan Yu was shocked, looked up, and saw that the person who came was Mu Qing, the eldest disciple of Wangshumen, and did not hesitate to grab her hand and turn over the horse, and the two rode away, and the other disciples were stunned for a moment, and then came back to their senses and chased after them.

Master Gao spat on the ground and beckoned, "Go!" ”

The group was quickly sent out of the city, but the east gate was already surrounded by people.

In addition to the officers and soldiers guarding the east city gate today, there are also many disciples of the Heavenly Sect and the Wulin League, the two sides look at each other and are disgusted, and the two sides of the city gate are clearly distinguished, until the dart team of the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau came closer, and then they surrounded each other left and right, asking to open the box and inspect it.

There are six big boxes in the car, two of which are boxes of property and three boxes of goods, and the remaining one box is clothes, but the clothes in the box are missing, and the one curled up inside is a teenager, or the little boy who was kidnapped and disappeared from the Wulin League!

The moment he saw Fang Yongyan, everyone present was shocked, the officers and soldiers immediately surrounded the dart master, Mu Qing personally lifted the curtain fence of the girl, and found that it was indeed a woman, who was already so frightened that she couldn't speak, she was a mute.

When Mu Qing found Zhan Yu, Fang Yongyan had already been taken out of the box, and the doctor hurriedly arrived and confirmed that he was only in a coma and had no worries about his life, so Zhan Yu breathed a sigh of relief and went to see the dart masters and the girl.

There is a yacha to go to the dart bureau, the dart head heard the news and rushed to come, seeing the situation his face changed drastically, no need to ask others, directly tell what happened today and the discernment, at the same time someone recognized the girl, saying that it was a dumb girl who was performing on the East Bridge.

"What's going on?" Mu Qing frowned, only feeling that this matter was like a mess.

Zhan Yu pondered everyone's confessions carefully for a while, and recalled everything that happened just now, and his expression slowly changed: "The sound is striking the west...... He's on the west side, chase after him! ”

But it was too late.

Something so big happened, Fang Huaiyuan personally arrived, led everyone all the way out of the city, straight to the western suburbs, not long after, they saw the mourning team stranded by the moat, many people fell to the ground, frightened the six gods without a master.

The coffin had fallen to the ground, the old man's body was intact, but the lid of the coffin had been lifted.

Fang Huaiyuan grabbed Master Gao and shouted, "What happened? ”

Master Gao was already frightened.

They went out of the city, and it was smooth and smooth, until they arrived here and were about to cross the river, when the coffin suddenly shook violently, and the person carrying the coffin thought that he was cheating the corpse, so he was so frightened that he immediately let go, and everyone retreated, but saw that the lid of the coffin was pushed open from the inside, and a young man crawled out, and said to them, "How offended", and then flew over the crowd, jumped into the river and disappeared.

The sky was blue and white, and Master Gao thought he had seen a water ghost.

Fang Huaiyuan naturally didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he walked to the coffin with a cold face, reached in and touched it, it turned out that someone had added a wooden board to the coffin to make a compartment, Xue Hongbi didn't know when he hid it inside, so that the bedding and the corpse were tightly covered, and Zhan Yu didn't find it.

In an instant, he understood.

The "Miss Du" that the dart head saw in the morning was indeed Xue Hongbi in disguise, but after leaving, this kid sneaked back to move the box and grafted the wood, and spent money to find a dumb girl who didn't know how to go out of the city by himself, and he hid in the coffin by the funeral team as a cover, as long as he escaped the first hurdle, and when the east city gate opened the box and found Fang Yongyan, everyone would rush over there, and he could get out of the city smoothly, and then escape!

Dancing spoon child, cunning as much!
