Chapter 288: Ganye Temple (5)

Although Mrs. Jiang and Xia Yanqing were surrounded by someone to protect them, Xia Zitang still chased after the man's back and looked at it a few more times.

When the half-eldest boy rushed towards him, the incident happened suddenly, and the distance was close. This man is defenseless, but he dodges freely, and can still hold people under his palm and move. It seems that there should be some skills under the hands.

Xia Zitang was thinking about it, Xia Yanqing touched him and asked, "Could this person be like you, with kung fu?" ”

"That's good," Xia Zitang was surprised and said with a smile, "Little sister is amazing, even this can be seen." ”

"That's really right," Xia Yanqing said with a smile, she didn't expect her to have such eyesight, "On the way up the mountain, I saw this person." ”

"Huh?" Xia Zitang was strange.

Xia Yanqing continued: "At that time, he and another person carried the burden up the mountain, and saw that the burden was quite heavy, and the flat burden was bent. The people who were with him accidentally stepped on a pebble, carrying such a heavy burden, but they didn't even beat for a moment before they stopped, and my onlookers were shocked. ”

"He still has companions?" Xia Zitang asked, "The person who stepped on the pebbles was not him, but his companion?" ”

"yes." Xia Yanqing said.

Xia Zitang frowned, "Let's go up the mountain together, why didn't I see it?" ”

"At that time, my mother and my fourth sister-in-law were resting in the roadside pavilion, and I saw it when I was walking around the pavilion. The man moved his foot and kicked the pebbles out angrily, with a lot of force, and the pebbles shot out, but they couldn't see where they fell. ”

"Oh." Xia Zitang agreed absentmindedly, and a feeling of inappropriateness swelled in his heart.

The porter who delivered goods to the temple was agile and looked like he had kung fu, and there was more than one.

With this kind of ability, or two people are partners, they can do something else to make a living, and the dart master and the nursing home can make more money than the porter, so there is no need to do this kind of coolie.

He really wanted people to ask the temple who the porters they used on weekdays were, but he was afraid that there was really something going on here, so he alarmed people.

If it's just these two people, even if they have bad intentions, their manpower is limited, and they can't make many waves. I'm afraid that there is something really going on here, and they have other companions.

Xia Zitang glanced around again, but didn't find anything unusual. But it is not wrong to be cautious after all.

He took Yifeng and followed closely beside Mrs. Jiang and the others, carefully observing the surroundings.

When Mrs. Jiang put incense on the side hall, added sesame oil money, and said to Mrs. Jiang: "In such a cold weather, let's go back to the guest room, the little sister said that she was a little cold and very tired." ”

Yes? Xia Yanqing was surprised, when did she say that she was cold and tired?

Then I thought that Xia Zitang had her own reason for saying this, so I followed his words: "Yes, this weather is really too cold, it's almost noon, let's go back and warm up and prepare lunch." ”

Xia Zitang nodded at Xia Yanqing, his little sister is smart, she doesn't need to say hello in advance, she can cooperate with him, the smartest girl in the world.

After a few steps of turning, I saw Shao Yi walking over with Shao's mother, followed by the maid and Mama Ying I had just seen.

Mrs. Jiang is the wife of a serious four-grade official, while Shao's mother is nameless and unshared.

Shao Yi was hesitating, should he come forward to say hello now, in that case, his mother and Mrs. Jiang would inevitably meet and say hello to each other.

Xia Zitang didn't hesitate, he had already spoken: "Did Cheng'an and Aunt Cheng come out of the main hall?" Have you ever been incensed? ”

Shao Yi arched his hand and replied: "I just came out of the main hall, but I happened to meet my aunt and fourth brother. As he spoke, he asked Xia Zitang with his eyes, he greeted him in advance, I don't know what kind of arrangement he made?

Xia Zitang turned to Mrs. Jiang and said, "That is Cheng'an's mother, Mrs. Shao. He turned back to Shao's mother and smiled, "Auntie, this is the boy's mother." ”

Although this was not expected, Mrs. Jiang and Shao's mother also cooperated, and each saluted and said hello. Naturally, Shao's mother put her status low and called herself a folk woman.

Both of them are measured, and they don't say much after they meet, and they both look at their sons.

I saw Xia Zitang pull Shao Yi aside and whispered something.

"Did you come out with a guard this time?" Xia Zitang asked

"Bring it, in addition to Xiuyuan, there are four other guards. What's wrong? Shao Yi replied succinctly.

Among the four guards he said, not including Zhirui, these people were not around him and Shao Mu. It's not so much an escort, but rather a special purpose to find out the itinerary of Xia Yanqing and his party.

He was surprised, why did Xia Zitang ask about this?

Zhirui has already said the arrangements of the Xia family and his entourage, come to the temple to offer incense, with four family members, it is enough.

"Is there trouble? Do you want me to find some more people? Soon to arrive. Shao Yi said.

Xia Zitang shook his head and said, "This ...... It's not necessarily a hassle, just in case. He told Shao Yi about the short man he had just seen and what Xia Yanqing had seen on the mountain road.

"It doesn't look like much now, but I always feel that it is really unreasonable for two people with skills to partner as porters. I still arrange for my family to go back to the guest room to rest, and I will take Yifeng to go around to see if there are any suspicious people or things. ”

Shao Yi frowned when he heard this, as if there was something in his memory that he had ignored.

"Fourth brother, there are few people here, if there is really something, where can the family come in handy? Let's send someone to go, my few are all guards, and they are all top uses. ”

This is the truth, Xia Zitang didn't pretend anymore: "Then there will be more Cheng'an." You go to investigate first, if there's anything to do, let's discuss it after reading it. ”

Shao Yi instructed Zhirui to take his guards to inspect the temple and the mountains in front and behind.

He settled Shao's mother in the guest room to rest, and stood outside the door by himself, carefully searching for memories.

In his memory, whether it is Ganye Temple or Juhu Mountain, it seems that nothing has happened.

But when he heard Xia Zitang talk about two kung fu people teaming up just now, he was clearly moved.

Shao Yi was pacing slowly outside, there must be something he ignored, what was it?

Xia Zitang...... Terracotta Division...... Kung Fu people partner......

Shao Yi's eyebrows furrowed, it seemed that something had something to do with Xia Zitang, what year did he come?

That's right! Shao Yi stopped, there was one thing, he didn't remember the specific time, it was a bandit from Guangning County, colluding with some local ruffians, who entered the capital at the end of that year and ransacked nearly eleven shops.

Those people had a good plan, stepped on the plate in advance, and chose not very large, but well-run shops, two of which were also gold and silver craftsmen's workshops.

The robbery time of the eleven houses was set at noon, when there were no customers in the store.

These men entered the shop, held the shopkeeper hostage with knives, and coerced the men to close the door in the morning. Then he knocked the shopkeeper and his men unconscious and tied them up, and then collected all the money and valuable items in the store, and went out of the city in a big way.

The eleven shops were all chosen at the same time, using the same methods, and did not alarm anyone.
