Volume 3 The Hanging Sword Division - The White Ape Thief Chapter 65 The Boudoir

Early in the morning of the second day, Du Lengqiu went out, and a few chirping magpies happened to be in his ears.

It is very strange that the magpie, a black and white bird, is not beautiful enough, and its voice is even more ugly, why was it considered a good omen by the ancients?

Du Lengqiu turned his head to look and found that the willow tree where the magpie was perched had sprouted a little bud, and the speckled green was all over the branches.

Although there is a cold wind, it is difficult to hide the charming spring color.

"Hahahaha, I heard magpies in the morning, which is a good omen. With an enthusiastic voice, Qin Zhuo walked over from not far away. This time he was single, and when he approached a little, he squeezed his eyebrows and asked, "Lord Du is still satisfied with last night?"

In Qin Zhuo's view, talking about topics that such men like to see is a shortcut to get closer and build friendship. It's just that the punishment for mission failure is like the sword of Damocles hanging high above his head, and Du Lengqiu naturally has no interest in continuing this kind of topic.

Du Lengqiu was quite speechless, so he had to divert the topic, "I read the file last night and found that this case is very tricky. Does Chief Qin have any good suggestions?"

Qin Zhuo smiled, "Master Du, this case, brother, I'm not very proficient, but this case can't be solved in a day." Early this morning, Lord Thorn sent a butler to make a post. When the old man heard that Lord Du was coming, he invited Lord Du to come over to the house. ”

Du Lengqiu was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Qi Thorn History?"

"Not bad. Lord Du is really a big face. Qin Zhuo had an envious expression on his face.

"Our Qi Thorn Shi is a scholar of classics, once famous in Kyoto, ten years ago took the initiative to come to Liangzhou to govern, in these three counties and seventeen mansions have an excellent reputation. It's just that the literati have always been high-minded, and they don't like to deal with our Hanging Sword Division. This is the first time in three years that I have taken the initiative to invite someone from our Hanging Sword Division. Qin Zhuo concealed the dissatisfaction in his heart. He is also from Kyoto, and he once thought about being close to the assassin Shi beating people, but this Qi Yubo gave him a closed door, and he didn't care about his uncle who was in the position of a god catcher, which made him quite shocked.

"Now?"

"Right now, the butler is waiting outside. Qin Zhuo was sure that Du Lengqiu would definitely go. In the Great Zhou, the history of thorns is from the fourth grade, and the silver medal patrol is only from the seventh grade, and the difference between the two is six levels. Otherwise, with a charge of disrespecting officials, it will be difficult for officialdom to mix.

Du Lengqiu smiled helplessly and had to agree.

At the gate of the Hanging Sword Division, the stone carved long sword stands on the left side, and the sword body is densely carved with countless demons and monsters, symbolizing the demons in the world suppressed by the Hanging Sword Division.

Originally, all the state capitals were ordinary, but Liangzhou was different, since Qin Zhuodao came, he made the decision to add two statues of the fox. This kind of mythical beast is anxious for justice and righteousness in folklore, and it is best to judge the case impartially.

In order to show that he was fair and strict, Qin Zhuo deliberately found a master to carve it.

On the steps between the two stone carvings, a middle-aged man in a green coat and a blue hat was walking back and forth, his expression was eager, and his white beard under his chin was pouting.

Seeing Du Lengqiu and the others appear, the housekeeper immediately rushed up and grabbed Du Lengqiu's hand, and said in a mournful voice: "Lord Du, you are very merciful, but you must save my young lady." My young lady, my young lady, she is only sixteen years old, so kind, she shouldn't suffer this calamity. As he spoke, this man lost his temper in an instant, and tears flowed into his eyes.

Du Lengqiu glanced at Qin Zhuo, almost suspecting that this housekeeper was fake. As a steward, shouldn't you think about stealing silver from the master's house all day long?

Qin Zhuo hurriedly bowed his hand, smiled bitterly, and said in a low voice: "My lord, Qi Muxia is deeply loved by her family, and this housekeeper also reveals her true feelings. As he spoke, he turned to face the butler, "Okay, Steward Fu, our Hanging Sword Division will naturally do our best to solve the case, and you will lead the way." ”

Only then did Qi Fu clean up his mood and walk towards the street.

Seeing Du Lengqiu walk away, Qin Zhuo's face gradually turned cold. He turned back to the yamen of the Hanging Sword Division, and walked into the side room on the right, where a staff member with treacherous features and a goatee was standing respectfully with his hands tied.

Qin Zhuo asked, "What is the result?"

"My lord, Du Xunzhu didn't share a bed with that woman. He meditated all night until he went out in the morning. The goatee frowned, and his right hand unconsciously twisted his beard, puzzled.

Qin Zhuo also frowned, "What do you mean by this Du Lengqiu?"

The goatee is conceited and looks at people very accurately, and the golden mouth is straightforward, and he has always won Qin Zhuo's trust. But this time he was a bit blind. He twisted his brow into a king's character, as if to say to himself: "A beautiful woman is stripped naked and lying on the bed." There should be three kinds of people who don't go to bed. ”

"Which three?"

"The first one is that he likes the rabbit and is naturally disdainful of beautiful women. ”

Qin Zhuo was stunned, "Could it be that Du Lengqiu is such a person? However, it doesn't look like it. ”

"The other is a Taoist gentleman who is more gentlemanly than Yanagishita Megumi. ”

"Gentleman, hehe, this kind of person has long since died. Qin Zhuo mocked coldly

"The last type is that people who are dissatisfied with adults will naturally not accept the kindness of adults. Goatee categorically agreed.

Qin Zhuo suddenly fell silent, and only sighed after a while: "Send Miss Taoyao back to Tianxiang Building." I originally thought that everyone would have the same prostitution, and in the future, we would join forces to share the worries of the court. I didn't expect this person to be unaware of lifting. What can I do?"

Goatee gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, officialdom is either friend or foe. Originally, the situation of hello, me, and everyone's good was cut off by this person, and he was the sinner of the court. ”

"Oh, what's he guilty of?"

Goatee said fiercely: "Whatever the adult wants him to charge, he will be charged." ”

"This official is not an unreasonable person. Qin Zhuo sighed: "It's just that the official has been ineffective in investigating the case for several months, and it turns out that there is a demon spy within the Hanging Sword Division, and this spy is actually a silver medal patrol, so it's over." ”

"The villain understands. For the time being, let this kid solve the case by fighting life and death, let's operate at the upper level, and all the credit will be the adult's at that time. ”

Different from the brand-new white walls and black tiles of the Hanging Sword Division, the Assassin Shi Yamen adheres to the tradition of "officials do not repair the government", and the palace is dilapidated, and even the vassons on the roof are two points more miserable than those of the same kind.

As soon as Du Lengqiu arrived at the Assassin Shi Yamen, he saw a short and fat official rushing over with agility that did not match his size, his eyes were red and swollen, he grabbed Du Lengqiu's hand, and said in a trembling voice: "This must be Lord Du of the Hanging Sword Division, the Lord is really young and promising!"

"Old husband Qi Yubo, the little girl has been missing for seven days. Lord Du, in the past few days, I have been sleepless day and night, and now I am finally looking forward to the adult."

Du Lengqiu pulled out his hand, looked up and down, and found that this Qi Yubo stabbed Shi Yuandundun, as if he was a landlord in the countryside, and he was not as high as Qin Zhuo said.

Qi Yubo hurriedly pulled Du Lengqiu's sleeve and pointed at another person, and said, "This is don't drive Zhang Meng, the words are not white." He is good at official duties and is my right-hand man. In the past few days, I have not belonged, and everything in Liangzhou has been taught to Zhang Beijia to deal with. ”

Compared with Qi Yubo's ordinary, Zhang Meng is a completely different kind of benchmark. He is nine feet tall, and he compares Qi Yubo, who is more than five feet tall, to a dwarf.

His face was as white as jade, and his three long beards hung down on his chest. The whole person is not angry and arrogant, and outsiders will know that this person must have a very high status just by looking at it. And if you look closely, you will find that Zhang Meng's facial features are exquisite, and there is a feminine beauty. In short, if this guy shaves off his beard, he is simply synonymous with creamy students. Even now, it is a typical teacher killer.

Zhang Meng bowed and said solemnly: "Shaobai has seen Master Du. I, millions of people in Liangzhou, have been suffering from demon apes for a long time. Adults traveled thousands of miles to kill demons here, and the people were hanging, and they were my benefactors from Liangzhou. Please accept me. ”

Du Lengqiu was stunned, he was originally a grass man, and he had never been mixed with officialdom, so he was a little at a loss for a while. But he quickly calmed down and let Zhang Meng kneel, and then stepped forward to help him up, and said lightly: "I am fighting demons in the Hanging Sword Division, and it is my duty to splash blood on the yellow sand, and Lord Zhang doesn't need to be polite." ”

Subsequently, Zhang Meng said solemnly: "Two adults, there are many affairs in the state, and Shaobai will go." ”

Looking at Zhang Meng's back, Du Lengqiu's expression was a little weird, but he didn't say anything. Later, under Qi Yubo's repeated invitations, he had to follow Qi Yubo to the scene of the crime. Although Qi Yubo seems to be a good man, this guy has earned a good reputation after three years of assassination in Liangzhou, and he also bought the next big garden, which can be described as a good official.

This manor called Liang Yuan is ingenious. It attracts living water from the Tuotuo River outside the city, and creates a beautiful scenery of small bridges and flowing water, willows and willows in the shade of the south of the Yangtze River. On this northwest ground, it can be said to be unique, but I don't know which wealthy businessman is the handiwork.

There is a two-story small building in the back garden of Liang Garden, and the red lacquered wood building is very eye-catching, which is the boudoir of the young lady in the poor sour book business.

When the two came to the boudoir, Qi Yubo stepped forward to open the door with a bunch of keys, while Du Lengqiu stared at the couplets on both sides of the small building. This couplet is made of wooden planks in the shape of a banana leaf, and is lacquered in black lacquer, which looks extremely elegant.

"I socialize a lot on weekdays and rarely spend time with her, and her mother died early, so she had to be accompanied by books every day. Every time I moved, there were more than a dozen wagons to load books, making me feel as if I was a corrupt official. "Uncle Qi Yu is chattering, and the history of a state assassin has turned into an old mother.

Du Lengqiu rolled his eyes in the back. It is only said that this Liang Garden, in the future generations, will be worth 100 million yuan. Even in ancient times, when land was worthless, you couldn't take it without 50,000 taels of silver.

This kind of clean official, everyone wants to be it!

The first floor of the boudoir is rectangular in shape, and when you walk in from the south, you can see the paper windows on the north side, and the bookshelves on the east and west sides that lead to the roof, and the shelves are full of books.

In the center of the room was a very tall three-tiered candlestick, held in place by twenty-three half-lit candles. Next to the candlestick is a small wooden table, and below it is a round cushion embroidered with koi play charts.

It was morning, the sun was shining in through the doorway, and you could vaguely imagine a woman sitting on a cushion with her back to the desk lazily reading.

The second floor of the boudoir is the quintessential women's room, and there is not much to say about it other than understated luxury. Du Lengqiu pretended to be serious and confident, but in fact, as a rookie detective who chased ducks to the shelves, he was really weak-hearted.

"Since the disappearance of the little girl, this boudoir has not been cleaned. Lord Du, please see, this is the clue found by the previous officer. Qi Yubo said and walked to the window and pointed to a broken wooden pin. The tool used to lock the window had broken in two.

The wooden pin section is smooth, as if it were cut by a knife, and only a master with extremely condensed innate qi can do this. And from this small wooden pin, you can't see the strength of the enemy.

"I sent Gu Ying to take people to the snowy mountains to investigate, but there was no good news for many days. Lord Du, little girl, little girl is all up to you. After Qi Yubo finished speaking, he looked at Du Lengqiu with blank eyes, as if he immediately wanted him to give an answer and find his good daughter.

Du Lengqiu was very weak-hearted, but he still took a big bag and said, "Don't worry, Lord Qi, within ten days, I will definitely find Ling Ai and reunite your father and daughter." ”

The parents originally asked for comfort, and Du Lengqiu gave him comfort.
