Volume 2 - Growth Chapter 70 - The Four Great Catches
"Crackling."
A swift shadow disappeared, and the leaves on the ground that had been lying quietly rolled forward at this moment. Shadow followed the mountain trail, dusty all the way behind him.
The shadow ran wildly, and the dead leaves fell everywhere it passed, like a cold wind passing by.
The dim moonlight sprinkled on the earth, and the whole mountain forest was surrounded by a white mist, awe-inspiring and hazy, mysterious and full of danger.
The cold wind on the top of the mountain blows the bare old trees and rolls up the fallen leaves on the ground.
The stream was still flowing, and the murmuring sound of the water seemed to be the only sound in the mountains and forests except for the howling wind.
"Tick!"
Crystal clear water droplets flew down the water from the few dead leaves on the bald tree, stirring up a hint of trembling. Then it became a ball with the brook and went straight down the mountain.
The man who had been standing by the stream, his eyes slightly closed, slowly opened his eyes, and his left hand moved slightly.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the stream suddenly exploded, as if the river was overturned and the sea was overturned, and the creek directly bottomed out.
With a "bang", countless water droplets in mid-air fell from the highest point and smashed into the soil at the bottom of the stream. The murmuring of the stream resounded in the forest again.
"See the hall master!"
The man turned and nodded at the visitor. The man immediately understood, got up and arched his hand: "Qiqi Hall Master, Wu Kang and the others have arrived in Anjie County. ”
"What's unusual lately?" The man nodded slightly and asked.
"Hall Master, there is nothing abnormal for the time being, but they have been in a big trouble recently!"
"Huh?"
As soon as the figure arched his hand, he told the man about the recent situation and situation of Wu Kang and the others.
After hearing this, the man couldn't help but smile contemptuously: "The eagle dog of the imperial court, the four big catches?"
"The four major arrests are fast, although they were sent by the court to inspect the case of the missing baby, but in fact, the four of them have already been bought by the Lu family and have become the Lu family's dogs! Now only the Lu family is looking ahead!"
"Okay, you and the other three will pay close attention to the situation of Wu Wei and the others and the Lu family. Help when you need to! ”
"No!"
The man waved his hand slightly, and after the man understood, his figure flashed and disappeared into the night again.
Who are you who have disappeared into the night? It is His Royal Highness the Hades, the charm of one of the four little ghosts!
It turned out that since Hedong County, the four of them were ordered to follow Wu Kang and a few people all the way to Anjie County.
The man still stood by the stream, staring at the shadow of a bright moon in the stream.
After a long time, the man slowly spoke: "What should be heard has been heard; I saw what I should see! How long are you two going to hide? Isn't it breathable yet? ”
As soon as the man's words fell, he saw two figures rushing out of the forest behind him.
In the faint moonlight, I couldn't see the faces of the two people clearly, and I could only vaguely see the figures of the two people, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin.
"Hahaha, it turns out that the hall master has already discovered the two of us!" After the short and fat man came out, he spoke with a smile on his face.
"That's it! You both already know! I've been idle for so long, if you're interested, you're at your own convenience! However, after half a month, they must return to their respective pavilions!"
When the tall and thin figure heard this, he couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and then asked: "I don't know how many people Wu Kang has, what is so outstanding that you attach so much importance to the hall master?" ”
The man didn't turn around, quietly looked at the stream and said, "It's just interesting!"
The two looked at each other when they heard this, did not continue to ask, and thanked the man with their hands, and the figures of the two disappeared in place very quickly.
…………
It's midnight, and everything is silent. There was no other unusual sound on the streets, except for the sound of a cold wind blowing through and driving the things hanging in front of the houses.
Even the chickens and dogs in the guards and nurseries are now asleep, no longer barking as wildly as before.
The whole small city, as the night deepened, and the people in the city gradually fell asleep, also entered a dormant state.
The study room in a quiet corner of the small courtyard of the county government is an exception.
In the study, the lights are bright.
Previously, the young man in the pavilion was sitting on a chair at the moment. The four people in front of them stood in the shape of "two".
"Young master, what do you command?"
But I saw four people standing in front of the table, all wearing green clothes, and wearing a tung token at their waists.
The young man put down the teacup in his hand, slowly got up from the chair and said, "Tomorrow, in the name of Lord Nie, you will go to the yamen to ask for the file!" If anyone dares to stop anyone in the process of investigating the case, there will be no mercy!"
"No!"
When the four of them heard this, they all responded in unison.
Where did you say these four people? It is the four famous catches of the imperial court!
In the early winter morning, there was already a chill. The cold wind is coming, and the sky is cold. Although the sun in the sky is incomparably bright, it cannot fade this chill. On the streets of Anjie County, there are few pedestrians.
In the courtyard of the inn, Wu Kang was walking steadily in front of the tree, his mind and mind were united. All kinds of martial arts kept flashing in his mind, and his lips moved slightly, constantly reciting the mantra of the "Yang Ming Heart Sutra".
Guan Shouting also sat cross-legged on the side, constantly adjusting the breath in his body.
Wu Kang kept chanting the mantra, only to feel a warm current running up and down his body. The warm current of wandering along the veins comes to the lower abdomen.
Suddenly, Wu Kang found that the warm current in his body seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't walk down the tendons and veins.
In desperation, Wu Kang sped up the operation of his mental method and tried to forcibly break through the obstacles.
Wu Kang only felt a pain in his lower abdomen, and the warm current actually reversed along the meridians. A mouthful of fishy sweetness came to the throat, "Poof!" With a bang, Wu Kang opened his mouth and spurted out a stream of blood, and then fell to the ground unconscious.
