Chapter 30: Keeping the Mouth Alive
Lin Fei looked at her in a daze, only to feel speechless to the extreme, and pulled her to the horse, "What are you doing, who do you want to touch!" ”
"What's the hurry, just talk about scaring them." Zhuang Rou smiled, took out a small bottle of medicinal wine and threw it over, "Wipe your wounds, we still have something to do." ”
"What do you want to do?" Lin Fei was really afraid of her, he didn't stop causing trouble all day long, and he wasted a day in the princess's mansion, so he couldn't really catch the horse tomorrow and go on an errand, right?
Zhuang Rou didn't answer him directly, just raised her eyebrows and smiled: "You haven't eaten yet, go and eat first, and then we will continue to investigate the case." ”
Lin Fei frowned suspiciously, but still decided to eat first, who knows if he will have to stay up until morning again.
The two found a small restaurant and ordered some food at random, and Lin Fei ate a lot. In the princess's mansion, he suffered a little bit of flesh and skin, but his identity was there, and the guards didn't want to really offend him, so the injury was not serious.
The main thing is that he is uncomfortable in his heart, but for him who has been arrested for more than ten years, this is already commonplace. The powerful feel that they are lackeys who are not worth mentioning, and the people also feel that they are lackeys, who specialize in helping the powerful bite the people.
No matter what you do, you can't please me, on the surface I am afraid of you or admire, but in fact, I am secretly scolded to death.
He gulped down his meal, not wanting to mention what happened in the princess's mansion just now, so he was bored and bored.
"Just now I was at the gate of the princess's mansion, and I encountered a soft sedan chair, and I ran away without stopping. But it can be clearly seen that the sedan chair originally wanted to stop at the gate of the princess's mansion, but when it saw me sitting there, it temporarily ran away. Zhuang Rou saw that he was eating very well, so she took a sip of tea and said. After saying that, she spit out a tea stem, the tea leaves in this small shop are really casual.
Lin Fei didn't stop with his hands and didn't raise his head while eating, and asked, "What kind of noble girl could be inside, seeing that you look too cruel, so you didn't dare to stop and scared away." ”
Bang!
Zhuang Rou kicked him under the table, and the kick made him grin with pain before he said with satisfaction: "There are marks on the sedan chair, a small python, and the people who follow the sedan chair are wearing the clothes of the people of the Xianwang Mansion." ”
She only saw the people of Xianwang's Mansion yesterday, and she will definitely not admit it, it seems that the soft sedan chair is the Xianwang's Mansion who came to find Princess Pingrui, and for some reason ran away when she saw her.
Lin Fei stopped and looked at her for a long time with the bowl, "You won't be killed tonight, will you?" ”
"No, how is it possible, it's the two of us who want to be killed." Zhuang Rou said with a smile.
"What a hit!" Lin Fei was bored and ate a lot, maybe this was the last meal in his life.
After he swept away all the food on the table, Zhuang Rou stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go to meet Zhou Zhao." ”
Lin Fei threw down the broken silver, held the knife and followed him out and got on the horse.
Zhuang Rou glanced at him and hurriedly said, "Your face is too stiff, take it easy, others will think that you are looking for trouble." ”
"Huh? You have too many things to do, I can do whatever I like. Lin Fei rolled his eyes, what's wrong with a straight face, can you manage it?
With this face like that, he deserved to be beaten at the gate of the princess's mansion, Zhuang Rou shrugged and ignored him.
The two rode to King Xian's mansion and turned into an alley to take a shortcut. At this time, someone from behind suddenly rushed over and shouted, "Two officials, please wait, stay!" ”
"Who?" Zhuang Rou grabbed the horse, and the two looked back together, and saw that the man was wearing a man's suit, holding a purse in his hand, and running over with a sweaty head.
He ran to the horse, panted and said, "Official...... Official, you have something left in the shop. The official went so fast that I almost couldn't keep up! ”
"What?" Lin Fei couldn't remember what he had left behind, and he hadn't seen anything in his hand.
The little two held the purse with both hands and said, "It's this purse, after the two officials left, they found that it had fallen to the ground." The little dare opened it and took a look, and found that there were thousands of taels of silver tickets inside, if the official master was lost, he would definitely be in a hurry, and the shopkeeper asked the little one to send it over quickly. ”
Zhuang Rou raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Lin Fei, you actually have so much silver, you can't see it." ”
"It's not mine, a poor person like me......" Lin Fei said very honestly, so he didn't get tempted by the silver ticket inside, so he said it was his own.
Xiao Er said in a panic: "How is this possible, I picked it up where the official master was sitting, it must be the official master's." ”
Zhuang Rou smiled: "Take it, it should be mine." ”
Lin Fei turned his head violently and looked at her with disgust, "You dare to take it, this purse is definitely not yours!" ”
The purse is gray, and the embroidered pattern is also an extremely ordinary copper coin, which is a common style for fat men who do business, how could it be hers.
Zhuang Rou showed a face full of joy, staring at the purse with a wealth fan, and stretched out her hand to take it.
Xiao Er also walked over with his hand and handed the purse to her. At this moment, there was an extra hilt in his right wrist, and as soon as he held it and pressed it outward, the sleeve of his shirt was torn, and a short blade appeared in his hand, stabbing straight towards Zhuang Rou.
Zhuang Rou still had a smile on the corner of her mouth, but her right hand had already grasped the iron rod in the horse bag, and she hit it so hard.
The blade was aimed at the inner thigh of her horse, and she stabbed it so hard that if she didn't hurt her internal organs, she would have to bleed to death.
Lin Fei had already drawn his knife, but he was half a beat late, and he watched the tip of the assassin's knife pierce Zhuang Rou's thigh.
Bang!
Zhuang Rou struck the assassin's arm with the knife with an iron rod, breaking it on the spot, and Bai Sensen's bones came out of the broken place. Then, she struck her a second blow, this time directly on the Assassin's temple.
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhuang Rou didn't even have time to retract the smile on her face, she gave the assassin four or five blows, directly knocking him to the ground.
Lin Fei jumped off his horse and stepped on the assassin's back, the knife resting on his throat.
Zhuang Rou also got off the horse, picked up the purse that fell on the ground, opened it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "I thought the silver ticket was fake, but I didn't expect it to be genuine, it seems that you are very generous." ”
"Someone sent you!" Lin Fei stepped on him and shouted.
The assassin's head was covered with blood, and everything in the whole world was shaking, and his ears were also buzzing, and he didn't hear what Lin Fei said at all.
Zhuang Rou put the purse in her arms, squatted down and pinched the assassin's mouth, looked at his teeth and said, "I heard that some people will seal poison in their teeth, and if the assassination fails, they will bite the poison, I don't know if it's true." ”
"There's that kind of thing, but it's impossible for a little assassin like that." Lin Fei is a member of the Falcon Gate, and most of the cases he has solved are outside, and the people and things he has encountered are not known to ordinary people who should be arrested.
Hearing his words, Zhuang Rou raised her eyebrows, continued to look at the assassin's mouth, and said dissatisfiedly: "Do you think I'm a small character, and I can kill someone at random, so I don't even bring the poison to kill my mouth?" ”
Lin Fei looked at her speechlessly, "If you insist on thinking so, then it's okay, stop playing, ask him who assigned him first." ”
Zhuang Rou saw that the assassin's consciousness had recovered somewhat, so she patted his face and smiled: "Whoever asked you to kill us, I won't beat you if you say it." ”
But the assassin didn't speak, just glared at her fiercely, trying to spit out, but failed because his mouth was pinched.
"Oh, did you even seal poison in your mouth?" Zhuang Rou frowned and said, "I don't dare to let go of your mouth, bite the poison with a snap, where can I find who sent you?" ”
Suddenly, her brow relaxed, and the hand that was pinching her mouth quickly shifted to her neck. Before the assassin's mouth could be fully closed, she punched him, and several teeth flew out with blood.
But she didn't stop, she pinched her neck with another hand, and continued to hit the assassin's face, and waited until the teeth on both sides were knocked out, then she let go of her hand and stood up, looked at Lin Fei and said: "Now I'm finally relieved, there is no place to seal poison in the front teeth, please ask Brother Lin to search his body, and then take him back to the yamen." ”
Lin Fei's expression was a little weird, Zhuang Rou's ruthlessness was beyond his imagination, and he thought she was just a powerful mouth, but he didn't expect to be so ruthless. When this person came to deliver the purse, she already suspected that she wanted to do it.
But he still couldn't help but ask, "Why do you have front teeth?" ”
"Huh? If you don't have front teeth, you will leak, and you won't be able to hear clearly when you explain it. Zhuang Rou smiled, took out the rope from the horse bag and threw it to Lin Fei, "Tie him to the back of the horse and bring him back, maybe he doesn't need to explain, and the person who sent him will send someone to kill people again." ”
She glanced at Lin Fei and said with a smile: "If you come again, you have to do it." ”
Frowning, Lin Fei picked up the rope and tied the assassin firmly, and searched his whole body again, but he really couldn't find anything useful. Seeing that he was beaten so that he could not stand on his feet, and could not really throw himself on the ground and drag him back, he threw him on his horse and hung it horizontally, and mounted his horse and ran out of the city.
He had to take advantage of the fact that the city gate was still closed and send this person to the county office.
"What a kind person, I didn't drag it back." Zhuang Rou also turned on his horse and shouted to Lin Fei who was running in front, "Brother Lin, you go to the county government first, I'll go to the Xianwang Mansion, let's act separately." Don't be killed on the road, you have to take them back well! ”
Lin Fei grabbed the horse and turned around, he thought that Zhuang Rou was going back together, but he didn't expect that before he could find out who did it, she would still have to go to the Xianwang Mansion.
"Let's go back first!" He shouted that he could arrest someone if he asked who had done it, and there was no need to take any more risks.
Zhuang Rou waved her hand, pulled the horse's head and clamped the horse's belly, and went to the alley.
Lin Fei watched her leave, looked up at the sky again, gritted his teeth in annoyance, and had to take the assassin out of the city first.
Xiangyuan is the most well-known restaurant in the capital, if a large house has been converted into a food place, the environment is elegant, not to mention, most of the dishes are out of the palace, you can eat here for a meal, it is enough to take out and show off for a long time.
Xu Yiheng came out of the changing place with a drunken spirit, and was walking towards the food pavilion in the bamboo forest, when a voice came from the darkness of the bushes on the side of the road, "Master Ma is really popular, and there is a banquet every day." ”
He stopped, looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Zhuang Rou coming out of the darkness and looking at him with a bright smile.
