There was a bunch of laborers in the distance, and when Xia Qiu arrived, the three laborers who were making trouble had already been detained, and they were even whipped by the official on duty and beaten to the point that their skin was broken.

The corners of Lu Tingxiu's clothes were cut through by a pickaxe, and he was frightened but did not hurt his flesh. However, the surrounding officials and laborers were sharp-eyed and reminded them in time to avoid the disaster of blood and light.

There was a weekly team leader, and the interrogation came out soon. The three people who committed the murder were indeed Wu Tongxing's former thugs. They are also known to take care of the calamities of others. As for who the employer was, they really didn't know, but the man was covered with a tight cover.

The trees are scattered, and there are few who can avenge Wu Tongxing after his death, so you can find out when you go back.

Time was limited, Lu Tingxiu continued to hurry, and the case was handed over to Zhou Bantou to investigate and then deal with it.

As soon as Xia Qiu got in the car, he stared at him with contempt.

"What do you look at?" Lu Tingxiu said depressedly: "I'm frightened, and you can't comfort me." ”

The carriage continued to hurry, Xia Qiu "cut" the ground, and said with a smile: "Lord Lu is so skilled, how can those deflated three be your opponents." "It's just acting for people to see.

Once the post road is opened, it is enough to change the predicament of the southwest for many years, and the people in the bureau will not wait to watch it. Who can say how many people with ulterior motives are mixed in this group of spoiled laborers.

It is difficult to prevent thieves day and night, look at his immovable appearance, Xia and Qiu are anxious for him.

"Xia Chubby, you always can't see me." Lu Tingxiu will take off his torn coat.

Xia Qiu's eyes are hooked.

"What are you looking at?" Lu Tingxiu was uncomfortable by her.

"What are you pretending?" Xia Qiu replied: "It's not that I haven't seen it. ”

Lu Tingxiu: "......"

Thanks to her preparations, she prepared a few more sets of clothes for him. After changing his clothes, Lu Tingxiu's stomach growled.

The food here in Wangniuling is too rough, and Lu Tingxiu is a temporary inspection, the supervisor did not prepare in advance, and he did not dare to let the county order eat rough food, so he could only pretend to be dead cheekily.

Lu Tingxiu was very emotional, since he became the county order, he has always starved for three days, and he can't eat anywhere.

In the evening, he stayed in Shiba Town, and Lu Ting repaired two rooms. Seeing that he was well-dressed, the shopkeeper hesitated slightly, "Two?" ”

Questions? One is for the coachman, and the other is for him and Xia Chubby.

"Is there a way?" The shopkeeper asked again.

Xia Qiu led the three of them over.

After the inspection, the shopkeeper led people to the room.

Closing the door, Xia Qiu was puzzled: "The stone dam is not a big place, and it is quite strict." ”

"Don't look at Shiba, the place is not big, but it is famous for its abundance of knives, commonly known as the eighteen sons of Shiba, and even many martial arts people come here, and the governance is naturally much stricter."

The knife weapon, which is said to be a murder weapon in serious terms, is the key control of the imperial court.

Seeing that the sky was fine, Lu Tingxiu took Xia Qiu to wander around Eighteenth Street, saying that he wanted to buy two steel knives for self-defense, and went to each one to pick and choose, but he did not have Lizheng's approval, and the ironware shop refused all.

"Are you going to make a private visit?" Xia Qiu quipped: "Why don't we go to Lizheng's house and sit down, maybe we can have a meal." ”

"Lizheng's family has a distinguished guest coming to the door today, so let's not bother."

Xia Qiu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he had left the inn through the back door, and there was a luxurious carriage parked next to him.

This bastard always loves to hang people's appetites.

Xia Qiu stabbed his psoas muscles, Lu Tingxiu couldn't stand the itching, "You've seen so many knives, which one do you think does the best?" ”

She really thought about it carefully, "The Zheng family? ”

The forging and casting skills of the Zheng family, not to mention in Shiba, are famous in the Min Dynasty. The Zheng family's craftsmanship has been inherited for a hundred years, and generations of children and grandchildren have eaten this bowl of rice, and many people have relied on this craft to go to various places to earn a living.

"The Zheng family shop you see now is not an authentic Zheng family's old shop." Lu Tingxiu said meaningfully: "Half a year ago, the Zheng family caught fire and killed more than 50 people, and none of them survived. ”

Xia Qiu was stunned, "So many people died, didn't the government investigate?" ”

"According to Li Zheng's report, it was said that the Zheng family ran out of water in the kitchen late at night, and everyone was asleep and had no time to escape."

At that time, the county order was not reviewed, and the matter was hastily closed. Lu Tingxiu had secretly sent someone to investigate, and someone had heard a quarrel from the Zheng family in the middle of the night.

He would not investigate the fire case of the Zheng family for no reason, Xia Qiu couldn't help but think of the iron powder found in the Cheng family in Wang County, and the iron powder that disappeared in the mine cave in Shijia Village. If you want to forge them into good steel, you need high-quality craftsmen, and the Zheng family is the right choice.

In other words, the Zheng family is not dead, but missing.

The Zheng family, who is now fighting knives, is just deceiving outsiders under the guise of the Zheng family, and is not the authentic heir of the Zheng family.

There are more than 50 lives, but Fanli is serving more snacks, and he will definitely be able to find the greasy in it.

"You want to reopen this case?" Xia Qiu was puzzled: "It is quite time-consuming to look through old cases without any clues. What's more, he was still in a hurry to go to Liangzhou.

"There is no need to investigate this case, only to find the whereabouts of the Zheng family, and the truth will naturally come out."

It's easy to say, there is a vast sea of people, where to find the Zheng family who have been missing for half a year?

"Xia Chubby, there is something I need you to help me." Lu Tingxiu suddenly spoke.

Sure enough, it's probably not good to take her out.

"What are you going to do?" Xia Qiu was suddenly unhappy.

"Lend your ear."

Xia Qiu joked: "My ears are so small, not enough for you to serve as a drink." ”

Lu Tingxiu smiled and pulled her to continue shopping.

After nightfall, the two had dinner in Fuguilou, and they specially asked for a wing room. That's right, the rich building of the Hua family, a branch opened in Shiba.

Expensive and expensive, the food in Fuguilou is simply not picky, the two drank a pot of wine, it was already evening after eating and drinking, and went downstairs to settle the bill in summer and autumn.

"Natsu-chan?" An abrupt sound, suddenly sounded from the stairs.

Xia Qiu turned his head to look and saw Hua Ting coming from the second floor, with the rich Hua Feng behind him. The father and son drank a lot, and their faces were red and full of alcohol.

"Why are you here?" Xia Qiu was surprised, a woman dressed as a man could be recognized by him, it was really a failure.

Hua Ting ignored Lu Tingxiu, and walked over directly and stretched out his hand to hug Xia Qiu, but he didn't know that Lu Tingxiu's eyes were quick, so he directly dragged her behind him, and said with a smile: "Hua Shao, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Lord Lu." Hua Feng recognized the two of them, hurriedly went downstairs to greet them, and then whispered to the shopkeeper: "Free order." ”

His son was not angry, so he had to rob a woman with the county order, Hua Feng secretly kicked his son to make him more interesting.

Hua Ting didn't care, while Xia Qiu and the two were greeting, he dragged Xia Qiu and ran away.

Hua Feng's face was full of black lines, he hated his son for being embarrassed, and hurriedly compensated the county order, "Hua has no way to teach his son, which makes Lord Lu laugh." ”

Knowing that Xia Qiu went to Liangzhou, Hua Ting was overjoyed, "Great, I just happened to go to Liangzhou, why don't you go together?" ”

Xia Qiu's face was embarrassed, "Lord Lu still has to inspect the fortifications, which is not very smooth." ”

Hua Ting regretted, but then said, "It's okay, I'll wait for you in Liangzhou." ”

"It's been missing for so long to go back, your father didn't blame you, did he?"

"If he has anything to say, just scold a few words." How can anyone say it easily, he is not afraid that he will cause trouble again, so he will directly take it to Liangzhou to experience.
