Chapter 5: The Storm

After more than ten days of traveling, You Shifang finally learned from the grandfather and grandson that he only needed to travel for another two days to reach the destination of this trip, Qinglong Villa. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAlthough along the way, You Shifang is no longer a few, but compared to the original life in a small county, now this kind of big rivers and lakes with the world as his home, You Shifang can't say too many words to resent it.

Probably because he was about to arrive at Qinglong Villa, the old man became more and more cautious. Under normal circumstances, I will no longer spend the night in the wilderness, and I will always find a big inn to stay in, and I want first-class rooms, not bunks. Under normal circumstances, there is only one bed in the upper room, and because Su Qianqian is a daughter, she has one room. The old man and You Shifang slept in the same room, of course, You Shifang slept on the ground, and the old man slept on the bed.

Every time before going to bed, You Shifang will help the old man scrub his body and slap the other man's body according to the method taught by the old man. Sometimes the strength is too much, and it is inevitable that the old man gently strokes his face, and he doesn't dare to breathe in pain.

Along the way, the role of You Shifang is like the personal slave of the master.

It was nearly dusk today, and the three of them found the inn. In the words of the old man, compared to the wilderness, if someone wants to start in the inn, although it is simple, it is not so easy to escape.

The shopkeeper beckoned the three of them to live in the room, and You Shifang reluctantly went to give Old Man Su and Su Qianqian a bath.

The inn usually has a patio, and guests can get water from the well in the patio, and there are many rough men who directly take water for bathing. Fortunately, ordinary women don't come to this kind of place. In the inn, there are generally two wells, which are separated from the animals, and the water that horses drink and the water that people drink come from different wells. Fortunately, it is summer, and the well water is cool, so it is comfortable to take a bath. But the old man is injured, and if he washes, he must use hot water.

You Shifang pulled out a straw casually, wrapped it around his hand, and waited boredly for a big pot of hot water to boil in the inn. In front of him was the stable, and the straw was forage for the horses, and the inn would charge an additional fee for this kind of forage, and a horse was ten cents a night.

At this time, two men in black approached the stable, tied the reins of the horses in their hands to the horse stake, and one of them said: "No one would have thought that General Bai Yibai, one of the seven generals of the imperial court, and the general nicknamed Bai Killing, would be cut off by someone in Jinzhou City." ”

"Yes, now the government is crazy looking for the murderer, I heard that this matter has reached the ears of His Majesty the Emperor, it is estimated that a large number of Jinyi guards will go to Jinzhou City soon. The other continued.

These words fell on You Shifang's ears, as if a thunderbolt exploded in his ears. Bai Yi died? This is one of the seven people with the largest military rank in the Ming Dynasty, and he died in Jinzhou City inexplicably?

Bai Yiyi, the general of Zhenyuan Huaihua, the emperor's royal pen of the general's name. Although he was the least likable of the seven generals, this general was second only to the protector general Chen Kaibing in the hearts of the Jin people who were the most reluctant to fight. General Chen Kaibing's soldiers are like gods and are feared by the Jin people, while Bai Yi is a murderer, and the army that fights against him has no exception after the war.

Such a pillar of the court, the powerful minister relied on by His Majesty the Emperor died in Jinzhou in this way, which was a big shock to the entire Ming Dynasty.

You Shifang took a step forward, his ears were far away, wanting to listen to their next conversation.

I only heard one of the men in black say: "You don't know the news, Jinyiwei has arrived in Jinzhou City two days ago, I heard that this Jinzhou Prefecture Mu Du Yue has been dismissed and investigated, and now the whole family has been put in prison." The drunken cloud building that had the accident has been sealed, and the boss of the drunken cloud building has heard that his head has also landed, alas, he is the only one who can brew the famous drunken cloud wine in Jinzhou, and in the future, I am afraid that I will never be able to drink the drunken cloud wine again!"

"I didn't expect the place where the accident happened to be in Zuiyun Building, it must have been not long after we left, could it be that the murderer was among the drinkers who were in the same building as us?" You Shifang thought to himself, and suddenly fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, he knew that if it was really among that group of drinkers, then before Jinyiwei identified the murderer, everyone who had eaten in Zuiyun Mansion that day would be checked.

And the most suspicious is the three people who fled from Jinzhou to Jiangzhou after that day.

You Shi walked towards the two men, bowed slightly in front of them, and then asked politely, "I heard what you two said just now, but is it serious?"

The two men in black glanced at You Shifang and said dissatisfiedly: "Gu is serious, such a big thing, we, the small people, dare to spread rumors?"

"If it's serious, why didn't I hear the slightest wind when I came from Jinzhou all the way, or did I only hear about it after I arrived in Jiangzhou?" You Shifang asked.

"This little brother, the two of us are rough people, we won't lie to you, I didn't receive the news a few days ago, it was because the Jinzhou Prefecture was afraid that the situation would get out of control, so he suppressed the news, and I heard that none of the people in the entire Zuiyun Building were released. It wasn't until Jinyiwei came that Du Zhoumu himself went to prison, and the news was passed on from various channels on the rivers and lakes, the carrier pigeons of the imperial court, and the flying eagles of Jinyiwei. It's been a lot of days for the past two days, and I'm afraid that in another day, Daikin will hear the news. ”

"I see, the two eldest brothers Xie said with the younger brother. You Shifang secretly rejoiced in his heart, if he left Zuiyun Tower a little later one day, or left Jinzhou City a little later, maybe he would be in prison now. What will happen at that time is not something you can guess.

But while secretly rejoicing, a heart hung up again, if the murderer was not found, then the three people in the Drunken Cloud Building that day must be the target of Jinyiwei at this moment, maybe Jinyiwei is already on the road at this moment.

Although You Shifang was apprehensive, his demeanor was not abnormal, and he continued to ask the man: "I don't know who the murderer of General Bai is, has he been arrested?"

The two men glanced at each other, and the two of them were silent for a moment, and one of them said, "We don't know who the murderer is, and there is no news on the rivers and lakes now." ”

"Thank you both. You Shifang didn't care who didn't have hot water on any day, turned around and walked quickly to the inn, walked straight to Old Man Su's room, saw Old Man Su was meditating, cautiously walked into the house, and felt inappropriate, exited the door, walked to Su Qianqian's door and knocked on the door, stood outside the door and whispered: "Miss Su, there is an urgent matter now, please come to Old Man Su's room immediately." After speaking, he waited until Su Qianqian replied before returning to Old Man Su's room.

Old Man Su had just noticed You Shifang, and when he saw him retreating back, he didn't pay much attention to it, and after a while, he saw him with a sad face, walked into the room and sat down, without saying a word, Old Man Su became suspicious. When Su Qianqian also came to the room, she asked Shifang, "Look at you like this, what happened?"

When You Shifang saw Su Qianqian enter the house, he locked the door, took another chair, sat down close to Old Man Su, and beckoned Su Qianqian to come before he whispered: "I heard a news just now, which may be bad for us." This is a big thing, and the entire Ming Dynasty will tremble. ”

Old Man Su was about to fight, and You Shifang immediately said: "General Bai Yiyi, I drank in the Drunken Cloud Building that day, and where did I leave my life!"

Old Man Su's left hand, which was about to swim in ten directions, hovered in the air, and Su Qianqian, who was on the side, also screamed in shock when she heard the news, and her mouth couldn't close.

You Shifang carefully told the grandfather and grandson about what he had just heard from the two men, and the old man Su immediately figured out the sweat and pores in it, his brows were furrowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and Su Qianqian on the side also figured out the situation of the three of them after a while.

All of a sudden, a needle drop could be heard in the room.

It took a while for Old Man Su to break the silence.
