Chapter Eighty-Six: Life Is Like a Play
Jiangdu, the street where the Sai Shenxian died, of course, after such a long time, the body of the Sai Shenxian has long been disposed of, but there are still some dried blood stains on the ground here.
"How many places are there?" Pang Yong's tone was already a little impatient, and after coming out of the ruined temple, he was about to run around the Governor's Mansion.
"This is the last place. ”
Pang Yong spread his hands and complained: "In order to investigate the case, my money has been spent. ”
"Sai Shenxian died here, and there are ......" Xiahou Xiang ignored it, and said to himself, while taking out a map, spreading it out to Pang Yong, and continuing: "The locations where the murders took place are all near the east of the city, you see. ”
Pang Yong had already noticed it before, but now when he looked at the map, the feeling was even more vivid and intuitive: "Not only in the east of the city, but also around the Governor's Mansion." ”
When Xia Bing heard this, he also leaned over and said in shock: "Okay, then what should we do next?"
"This one has nothing to do with you. Pang Yong glanced at Xia Bing.
Xiahou Xiang also spoke: "Girl, this is a matter of the government, I don't think you need to ask." ”
Xia Bing was unconvinced, and glanced at Pang Yong: "He is not from the official mansion." ”
Pang Yong glanced at Xia Bing and laughed proudly: "Hehe, this has nothing to do with you." ”
"Hmph!" Xia Bing suddenly let go of his hand grasping the map, snorted coldly, turned around and left.
"Hey, where are you going?" Pang Yong hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled a few times in the direction of Xia Bing's departure.
Xia Bing turned his head, glared at Pang Yong almost with his nostrils, and said, "It has nothing to do with you!"
"Hey, hey!" Seeing Xia Bing turn around and leave again, Pang Yong was anxious: "I don't have any money!"
Xia Houxiang looked at the two of them and couldn't help but smile, only to feel that these two people were quite childish.
"What do you think of the You Fang you just met in the broken temple, that is, the young man?" Pang Yong looked down at the map again, and didn't suddenly speak until Xia Bing had already walked away.
"Huh?"
Pang Yong glared at Xia Hou Xiang: "Ah what, let me ask you, do you think it is more likely that the young man is the murderer?" And this Xia Bing, the gods are chattering, don't you think there is a problem?"
Xiahou Xiang was stunned for a moment, his eyes were faintly a little more cautious, and finally he hesitated: "This, it shouldn't be possible, right?"
"Before finding out the truth of the matter, no one is impossible, make bold assumptions, and carefully verify them. ”
Pang Yong looked at Xiahou Xiang solemnly, Xiahou Xiang didn't realize the Ming calendar, and sighed in his heart, Brother Yong is Brother Yong, after so many years, he is still as cautious as ever in doing things.
"Let's find a place to eat first, rest for a while, and we'll search for the night, and I'll see who is doing the rain." Pang Yong put away the map and looked around, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are really few open shops on the street, and after looking for a while, he found one, beckoned Xiahou Xiang, and walked to that store.
The two of them never noticed that on the courtyard wall in the corner where they were just standing, You Fang had been standing silently on the tiles, but he was now in a state of invisibility, so no one had seen him.
With a slight leap, You Fang fell to the ground as if it had no weight, and did not even make a sound.
"Suspicious of me. The air shook like water waves, revealing You Fang's figure, You Fang looked at the backs of the two, and there was a bit of a playful smile in his eyes.
......
The night was deep, and there were no stars or moons.
A few oil lamps emitted a dim glow, barely illuminating the inn's empty halls.
Three figures stepped into the inn from the darkness one after another, and the burly man glanced around the situation of the inn, and said angrily: "Young master, why do you suddenly want to come to this broken inn?"
"You just come with me, how can there be so much nonsense. You Fang directly found a seat and sat down, waved his hand and took out an ancient charcoal copper pot and a plate of food and cups and chopsticks from the origin space, and filled the table in front of him, "Sit down, people will arrive in a while." ”
"Yes, young master. ”
Xiaobai and Chijin Kui Niu sat down separately, and as soon as You Fang waved his hand, a small stove appeared beside him, and on top of the stove was a wide-mouthed clay pot holding water.
"Young master, leave this warm wine matter to the slave family. Xiaobai, who had just sat down, understood what You Fang meant for the first time, got up with a smile, walked to the stove, knelt down, took the wine jug from the table, and began to boil water and scald the wine.
"Young master, the little one will prepare a hot pot for you. Seeing Xiaobai's movements, Chijin Kui Niu was not to be outdone, picked up the copper pot, exposed the charcoal bottom below, opened his mouth, spit out a golden flame, and directly ignited the charcoal, and then put the copper pot on the rack.
Not long after, under the service of Xiaobai and Chijin Kuiniu, You Yi ate hot pot and drank just the right amount of warm wine.
"Little Er, Little Er......" Pang Yong carried Xia Bing on his back, kicked open the door of the inn and walked in, just when he saw this scene, he was stunned at the door.
Sweeping his eyes on the table in front of You, he was even more dumbfounded, the plate of thinly sliced meat and all kinds of things he couldn't see was counted, but what was the matter with the dozen or so plates of vegetables that were not the same, you know, it's winter now!
It's freezing on this day, even if it's a big family, they only have dried vegetables to eat, and if they want to eat something green, I'm afraid that only in the inner courtyard of the palace, those who are extremely expensive can eat it, but here, no matter how you look at it, the dish makes people feel extremely smart, as if they have just been picked off.
Especially the rich aroma in the air that can't be dissolved, just smelling it, Pang Yong can't walk, and his mouth is full of saliva. Xia Bing was no better, she had been looking for clues about the monster all this day, and she hadn't eaten a decent meal, when she suddenly smelled such an attractive aroma, she even forgot the pain on her leg for a while.
"Hey, what's wrong?" You Fang pretended not to know, pretended to be surprised, quickly got up from his seat, greeted him, and after seeing the blood marks on Xia Bing's legs, he pretended to be surprised: "This is a sword wound, have you met that heart-digging monster?" Put down Miss Xia Bing, Xiaobai, you come over and help Miss Xia deal with the wound." ”
Xia Bing swallowed a mouthful of saliva and let out a clear cooing sound, "No need, it's just a small injury, but we have been busy all day and haven't had a good meal, and now we are so hungry that our chests are pressed against our backs, if you don't mind, you might as well invite us to eat." ”
Pang Yong also said: "It's extreme, it's just a little flesh injury, eat more meat and make up for it." ”
Gotcha, two foodies.
"Then come and eat together, we can't eat a few of us at this big table, but ......" You Fang turned his head sideways and said to Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, go to my room to get the medicine box and help Miss Xia deal with her wounds." ”
"Brother You is just open, so I'm welcome. Pang Yong walked quickly with Xia Bing on his back, his face full of excitement.
However, as soon as Pang Yong approached, he felt a ferocious hot air pressing like a wall, and the Red Gold Cow stood up suddenly, and a series of red flames suddenly rose from the top of the Red Gold Cow's bare head, as if he was covered with a long hair of flames, and these flames quickly spread towards the Red Gold Cow's body.
"Bold, my young master is also what you can call so casually!"
Pang Yong and Xia Bing's faces changed, looking at the red gold cow shrouded in flames, it was impossible for a mortal to be entangled in flames without hurting himself. With a wave of his hand, a layer of light green light rippled away like water waves, extinguishing the flames on the red gold cow in an instant, not only that, but even the couch ignited by the red gold cow was like turning back time, and instantly returned to its original state: "Okay, retreat." ”
Chijin Kui Niu didn't dare to disobey in the slightest, and hurriedly stepped back from his seat and stood behind You Fang like a little guy who had made a mistake.
You Fang said to Pang Yong at this time: "The subordinates are not sensible, please don't take it to heart." ”
"Are you demons?" Xia Bing stared at Chijin Kui Niu and You Fang faintly, Pang Yong also stood in place, did not continue to approach, one hand supported Xia Bing on his back, and the other hand quietly grabbed the sword.
At that moment, the pressure brought to him by the Red Gold Kui Niu had already made him feel a suffocating death crisis.
At this moment, a sound of footsteps came down from the stairs, and it was Xiaobai who had gone to get the medicine box back.
You Fang picked up the wine jug from the table, poured himself a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "The two of them are indeed demons, but I am not, and you don't have to worry that we will be bad for Jiang." ”
"How can people ...... with demons" Xia Bing was stopped by Pang Yong in the middle of his words, lowered his voice and said quickly: "Don't make extraneous branches, the killer who digs out his heart is still being chased, it is obviously not one of these people, let's figure out their purpose first, don't offend rashly." ”
Although Pang Yong's voice was small, the weakest of the three of Youfang's Chijin Kui Niu were all sixth-order demons now, so how could they not hear his words, but without Youfang's orders, the two demons pretended not to know.
"Hehe, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, how can Brother You be a bad person, it's all a misunderstanding. Pang Yong said as he let go of the hand holding the saber, strode towards the couch, and did not shy away from putting Xia Bing on the side of the aisle, and then sat down opposite Youfang.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, it's good to solve it. You Fang didn't care, picked up the wine jug on the table, and said: "It's perfect to eat hot pot in this winter, this vegetable and meat are just out of the pot, and you have to wait for a while, come, taste the wine I brought first." ”
Pang Yong glanced at the table, and was shocked in his heart, just now he only paid attention to the ingredients on the table, and now when he looks closer, the utensils that hold the ingredients are also extremely delicate and valuable, the material is like jade and not jade, like stone and not stone, white and delicate like a beauty agar, not to mention, there are delicate lines that seem to grow out of the tread, and you can know that it is worth a lot at a glance.
It is also in the infancy of porcelain in this era, ordinary people use the kind of blue-black coarse porcelain, and the rich and noble people use bronze, jade, gold, and silverware, and although you Fang took out only the fine products fired in later generations, far less than those craftsmen at the peak of porcelain, but it is enough to amaze these ancient people who have not seen much of the world.
Looking at the dazzling array of dishes on the table, Pang Yong couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, not to mention anything else, You Fang's wealth was already beyond his imagination.
He couldn't help but continue to be shocked, You Fang's wine pot had already been handed to him, and if he didn't pick up the wine cup to pick up the wine, it would be too big for him.
It's just that there is only a very shallow plate in front of him that is empty, and there is no wine cup in his impression at all, and he quickly recalled the situation when Fang You poured the wine in his mind, which was poured into a thumb-sized cup, and then looked in front of him, and sure enough, there was also such a small cup.
Pang Yong couldn't help but pick up this small cup with a smile, and said: "These utensils are extraordinary, for a rough person like me to use, it is really a tyrannical thing, and such a small cup can only hold a little wine." ”
You Fang smiled slightly, revealing two rows of white teeth, the wine jug tilted slightly, and a white and clear liquor poured out from the spout, drawing a waterfall-like arc, and in a moment, an intoxicating aroma of wine diffused.
Pang Yong and Xia Bing's eyes lit up, Pang Yong couldn't wait to pick up the wine glass and take a deep breath to inhale all the wine into his abdomen, until he couldn't hold it anymore before he exhaled a breath and sighed: "This wine, one word, absolutely amazing!"
"That's two words. Xia Bing didn't care about the injury on his leg, hurriedly picked up the wine glass in front of him, and stretched out to You Fang: "Quick, such a good wine, how can you miss this girl." ”
You Fang would not refuse, but this time, he reminded while pouring: "Although this wine does not have much medicinal power, it is extremely strong, and it is not comparable to ordinary wine, so you can't drink it in a big gulp, otherwise it will ......."
You Fang did not continue, because at this time there was already a best example.
It turned out that when You Fang poured wine for Xia Bing, Pang Yong couldn't resist the temptation of the aroma of wine after all, and poured all the wine in the cup into his mouth when he raised his head.
A glass of wine into his throat, the rich smell of wine suddenly filled Pang Yong's internal organs like an erupting volcano, that feeling was not like drinking a glass of wine, but swallowing a piece of blazing charcoal, Pang Yong felt as if he had fallen into a world of flames in an instant, his body reacted immediately, and wanted to squirt out the wine, but how could Pang Yong be willing to waste such a fine wine, his hands blocked his mouth and nose with lightning speed, and forcibly prevented the natural reaction of his body.
As a result, it is conceivable that in an instant, the part above Pang Yong's neck that exposed his clothes was congested at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the green tendons continued to burst out, making people can't help but suspect that maybe Pang Yong would explode into a blood mist in the next second.
