Lao Hu had no choice but to hold the reins, drink the horse pulling the cart, and greet him with a smile: "Poor master, what is the matter with you?" ”

"Why are you running so fast? It can't be that he killed someone and ran for his life, right? The official sat on the horse's back and looked at the carriage with a fierce expression.

Lao Hu smiled with a smile: "Alas, poor master, this is not nonsense, we are all honest businessmen, just thinking about coming to Shangxiang to ask for fortune, who would have thought that we would encounter such a bloody thing, we can't be incense, you say, why are we staying here if we don't leave?" ”

Lao Hu is good at talking and talking, but the official is not easy to fool, and continues to investigate: "Who else is in the car?" ”

Qu Xiaobai lifted the curtain and said coquettishly: "Official, we two women have come to ask for fortune for our shop." ”

"Two women?"

"yes, me and my sister."

Qu Xiaobai simply opened the curtain, revealing her and Yang Chun's true faces.

In fact, this morning, the two of them dressed up in men's clothes, but as soon as Qu Xiaobai got in the car, he expected that there would be officers and soldiers to check it, and immediately found two sets of women's clothes from the car.

When Lao Hu heard about the two women, he still muttered in his heart, looking back, aren't they delicate two women?

Qu Xiaobai looked trembling and said, "Poor master, we two little women who have no power to tie the chicken, where do you look like you can hold a knife?" Not to mention murder? The mere look at the blood made us tremble and hurry back. ”

Qu Xiaobai not only trembled, but also looked pale and sick, Yang Chun's lips were painted with lipstick, but her lips were powdered, so white that there was no blood. The official looked at the two of her and felt that this was not like the specifications of a murderer, so he said in a deep voice: "This case is not trivial, if there are any clues, report it quickly!" ”

"Yes, yes, sir, we know."

The official errand drove away, Lao Hu also hurried to catch the car, returned to the store, settled the store funds, and hurriedly packed up his things and got into the car to set off, Yang Chun naturally changed back to men's clothes, because he wanted to catch the car, and Qu Xiaobai also changed into men's clothes, still dressed as a little young master.

The big road leading to the outside of Baima Town, southeast, northwest, and northwest, of which there is only one in the east, west, and south, but there are two roads in the south and southeast in the direction of the south, Baima Town belongs to Qingshan County, Qingshan County is just in the south of the town, the official sent to move the rescuers, and went south, Qu Xiaobai and his party The carriage is also going south, afraid of colliding with the official's carriage again, Qu Xiaobai deliberately did not take due south, but chose the road in the southeast direction.

But what they didn't know was that the people who went to ask for assistance from the officials were already the second group, and the first group had been there for half an hour. The county magistrate has already begun to send people to guard all directions.

The carriage walked along the main road in the southeast direction, and as soon as it walked out of the road, it was stopped by several oncoming officials, "But the carriage from White Horse Town?" ”

Lao Hu was clever, hurriedly stopped and got out of the car, and said: "Poor master, we came from Daluo Town, but we passed through White Horse Town, what do you command?" ”

"What for?"

"Wine Merchant." Lao Hu took the initiative to lift the curtain and show them a cart full of wine.

An official dismounted, stepped forward to inspect it, and opened a jar of wine, there was a smell of wine, the official did not find anything wrong, and walked to the back carriage, Yang Chun had already jumped down from the car, and hugged his fists: "Xiucai Yang Chun, greet the official." ”

"It turned out to be a talented man, where did he come from and where did he go? Is the car in front with you? The official asked.

"We are from Nanping County, and our family is in the middle of the road, so we have to do some small business, selling wine to the south, and on the back of this car are my younger brother and some food and clothing supplies."

Qu Xiaobai poked his head out of the car, rubbed his eyes in a daze, and said in a thick nasal voice that had just woken up: "Brother, what's going on?" ”

When he saw that it was an official standing in front of him, he was even more confused: "Grandpa official? We...... We didn't do anything, we were all honest people. ”

"Honest man? Look at you kid thief, you don't look like a good thing! ”

Qu Xiaobai stumbled and shouted: "Grandpa Guan, wronged, wronged, Mu Yiling is a good boy praised by everyone!" In this case, I don't forget to boast a few words about myself with private goods. Gee.

Yang Chun took out the identity booklets of several people who had been stamped in the official mansion and presented them to the officials: "Poor master, please take a look." ”

The official opened the booklet and glanced at it, but he didn't see any flaws. It is true that this booklet was actually forged by Qu Xiaobai. The seal is engraved with radish, and the characters are written by Yang Chun, which can almost be fake.

"Mu Yiling, Mu Yi'an, Hu Xijing? What is the name of the ghost? ”

Qu Xiaobai hurriedly explained: "His father gave it to me, and I also think this name is funny." ”

Lao Hu: ...... Not like that, this lady.

"Do you know that there is a murder in Whitehorse?"

"Huh?" The three of them were all taken aback, and Lao Hu added: "I didn't hear about it when I passed by!" In these years, there is a shortage of soldiers. ”

"Haven't heard?" The official glanced at the three of him, "It's not that the master won't let him go, the master has a life, there is a big murder in White Horse Town, and people are not allowed to leave the town, go back." ”

Yang Chun said: "The poor master has also checked, we are all regular businessmen, and we have all registered in the government, we are not bad people." Moreover, if this murder hadn't been told to us, we wouldn't have heard of it at all. ”

Qu Xiaobai beckoned to the official who was investigating, and the official walked over: "Little hairy boy, what's the matter?" ”

Qu Xiaobai was still sitting in a staggering position, took out a few taels of broken silver from his sleeve, put it in the palm of the official's hand, and said with a smile: "Grandpa has worked hard to investigate the case, and this bit of broken silver will be used to buy a watermelon with his brothers to quench his thirst." We are all regular businessmen, small businessmen, rushing to deliver goods, and if we are late, we have to pay a no-show fee, so we will send grandpa to be accommodating. ”

The official quietly held his hand and smiled, "Look at you don't look like you can kill, let's go." ”

Sure enough, it's still good for silver.

There are very few people in this world who are not greedy for money.

"Well, thank you, Grandpa."

Lao Hu and Yang Chun hurriedly jumped into the car and slipped the carriage to the side, Lao Hu said very sensibly: "Everyone has worked hard, you will pass first." ”

When the horses galloped away one after the other, the two of them waved their whips, drove the cart as fast as they could, and galloped forward.

Yang Chun said: "You just sprinkle the silver all the way, do we have to ask for food when we go to the capital?" ”

Qu Xiaobai said: "This time it's an accident, this kind of right and wrong, let's not mess with it, who knows what kind of cow, ghost, snake and god the county master is, in case the detention is endless, and then if the detention is not for the investigation of the case, but for bribery, then we will lose more than we gain, it is better to leave quickly." ”

Yang Chun sighed, "What you said also makes sense. Under the troubled times, the world is declining, which is sad and lamentable. ”

"You are a scholar after all, and you still have feelings in your heart."

"My brother seems to have seen through the world, and he can already see all this calmly?"

"It's not calm, it's helpless." Qu Xiaobai was excited, shrunk back into the carriage, and went half-crookedly.

And she didn't want to provoke this scene, although she didn't see Yang Ling and the people he brought at the scene, nor did she see Lu Wu's people, but she guessed in her heart that this was mostly related to Lu Wu and Yang Ling.

If it is really related to Yang Ling, then did he get out at this time? What injuries did he have? What did the arrow that beckoned him yesterday do?

Thinking about it, she suddenly thought of going back.

Moreover, this thought is getting stronger and stronger, she is deeply afraid that Yang Ling is still there, even if those officials who are wine bags and rice bags can't help him, but what about Lu Wu?

That young man who also has peerless skills is very cunning, can Yang Ling be his opponent?

"Brother, let's turn around and go back." She said suddenly.

Yang Chun didn't say a word and restrained the horse. Lao Hu heard the movement behind him and also reined in his horse.

"Lao Hu, my brother and I will go back, you go forward first, go to the next county town, find the best inn to live in, and wait for us."

Qu Xiaobai jumped out of the car, handed his identity book and twenty taels of silver to Lao Hu, and instructed: "Don't drink, don't make trouble, wait for us." ”

Lao Hu is not like Yang Chun, as long as she wants to do it, he will do it for her unconditionally. Lao Hu has his own considerations, "It's not a good thing to go back." Two young masters, listen to Lao Hu's words, let's move on. ”

"Lao Hu, I have to go back, you go to the front and wait for us. Brother, what's the place ahead? ”

Yang Chun said: "Shenchuanguchi-gun." ”

"Lao Hu, Shenchuanguchi County, the largest inn, do you hear?"

"Little master, I'll go with you, it's good to take care of the crowd."

"It's an order."

Lao Hu had no choice but to get in the car and continue to move forward. Qu Xiaobai and Yang Chun turned around and turned back on the road.

"Brother, I'm sorry to put you in danger with me."

Qu Xiaobai sat in the front of the car, did not enter the carriage, and his eyes were a little gloomy.

"What are you talking about? I am your brother. And...... Didn't I also promise Brother Yang Ling to take good care of you. Yang Chun smiled and didn't take it to heart.

Qu Xiaobai glanced at him, bit his lip, and did not speak.

Yang Chun looked at her and said, "You say, who would do it?" Do you really suspect that Brother Yang Ling is also involved? ”

Qu Xiaobai said: "I didn't tell you that Yang Ling is here to track Lu Wu. ”

"Lu Wu? Is that the Lu Wu you were looking for in Tutai, Fushan County, that day? ”

"Well, the sixth son of King Jingnan of Jiangnan is said to be a popular candidate for the prince, and he has always had ambitions to replace the current son."

"You suspect they started a fight?"

"I have to doubt it. Those dead corpses, obviously all dressed as shadow guards, as well as the wounds on their bodies, are all in a very tricky position, and they are all done by Lian Jiazi at a glance. Qu Xiaobai suddenly remembered the shadow guard that Tang Muqiao arranged for her, and hurriedly asked, "Is the shadow guard here?" ”
