Fu Jiuqu casually put the letter paper in his sleeve and said lightly: "I openly published a tabloid newspaper asking Bai Xiaosheng about the whereabouts of the escaped prisoner, and promised a hundred taels of gold. He didn't ask me who I was, he told me the address......

Xin Yi was a little confused.

The warden only found out after receiving the fake Bai Xiaosheng's letter, and she had already classified the fake Bai Xiaosheng as an accomplice of the gangsters.

But......

"In this way, the fake Bai Xiaosheng is a neutral person, and he really sells news for money?"

Fu Jiuqu: "Not necessarily."

He looked at the suspicious gazes of Cao Yi and Xin Yi in unison, his face froze for a moment, and there was an inexplicable indifference in his voice.

"Recently, the Imperial City Division has been investigating tightly, and it may be just an abandoned son thrown by the other party."

Cao Yi nodded, and said meaningfully: "It doesn't matter if it's an abandoned son, or it's a bait. The person is gone, and finding this fake Bai Xiaosheng is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Fu Jiuqu smiled lazily.

"The purpose of my heavy money to buy information is not for these people......

He glanced at the corpses with disgust, and his dark eyes were determined and confident.

"A chess piece that can be thrown at will, even if it doesn't die, it can't pry any valuable clues out of your mouth......

Xin Yi exchanged glances with Cao Yi and Cai Qi, and suddenly felt blessed.

"You just want to get this letter?"

"That's right." Fu Jiuqu said: "Most of the fake Bai Xiaosheng's letters seized in the past came from the Great Xiangguo Temple, and now the Great Xiangguo Temple is under the supervision of the Imperial City Division, and it is no longer possible. Then the place where the letter is delivered is the location of the fake Bai Xiaosheng......

There is no problem with such speculation.

"The question is, what can I see in this letter?"

Fu Jiuqu took out the letter slowly, and smiled slightly: "This is stumped for me. Why don't we find a dog?"

Xinyi: ......

Fu Jiuqu suddenly handed the letter to Xin Yi.

"Isn't Eleven known for his sense of smell?"

Xin Yi's tooth socket was almost crushed, if it weren't for the presence of outsiders, he would have to bite him twice to dissipate his anger.

Fu Jiuqu smiled unconsciously, and grabbed her.

"Don't be impatient! Take a few sips of tea and wait until it gets dark."

··

Night falls.

It was drizzling in Bianjing City, which had been hot for a day. The summer recedes slightly, the lanterns are on, the full moon is lit, the river is singing, and the rain is so beautiful that it is like a grand scene in the world.

It's a different story in the alleys.

The lights were dark, and the air seemed to be filled with the smell of decay.

A few coarse linen clothes and hats walked in the drizzly alleys. They don't talk to each other, keep their distance, and move forward without saying a word.

The people in the alley, occasionally peeking in.

Silent.

In the dark alley behind this bustling, there are those who sell dog skin plasters, those who tell fortunes, those who play and sing with a broken piano, and those who laugh when they see people under the lonely lamp.

Creepy, like entering the underworld.

It's a world cut off from the bustle.

It was as if the sky at the zenith had disappeared.

The drizzle was pouring down, and the people in the alley were silent and wary of the strange faces from outside.

The group quickly shuttled through the shadows of the night and stopped at the door of a dark clothes shop. ….

There was a scream of terror from inside.

There were people coming and going in the alley, but no one cared.

People seem to be used to screaming like this.

Bang!

The wooden door was kicked open.

A half-sized boy with a bleeding shoulder was being chased by a gray-haired old man. The old man held a scimitar in his hand, and he cursed and swore on his lips, not knowing what he was saying, and his voice was like a whimper.

Several people broke down the door.

The house was full of clothes, paper money, incense and candles.

suspend

Behind the hanging clothes, there is a small square table, and there is a middle-aged man sitting next to the square table, who is born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, with a hideous face, and when he heard the sound of the door panel falling, he looked up in amazement and scolded.

"Where did the pickled pours come from......

The voice stopped suddenly, and his hand trembled, almost knocking over the porridge bowl.

"King of Guangling?"

Fu Jiuqu looked at the appearance of the big man and wrinkled his eyebrows.

The big man pushed open the small wooden table, brushed off the hanging clothes, and walked towards Fu Jiuqu.

"The King...... Are you here to get me?"

The big man is very tall, moving in a narrow and dark room, like an iron tower, with a great sense of oppression.

Cheng Cang, who was beside Fu Jiuqu, drew his knife suddenly......

The big man didn't shy away.

"I knew there would be this day sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to come so soon......

Fu Jiuqu narrowed his eyes, "Do you know this king?"

The big man did not speak, but turned his head and snatched the cutlass from the old man's hand, and threw him into a cage in the corner, and sat down, and helped the child again, and straightened his blood-stained clothes.

"Go change your clothes and eat."

He handled all this calmly, as if it was a common thing for an old man in the family to chase a child with a scimitar.

"The old man is old, and no one recognizes him when he goes crazy......

He opened his mouth, his laughter was particularly loud, looking at the silent Fu Jiuqu and the bright waist knife in front of him, he closed his mouth for a while, cleared his throat and sighed.

"The county king, how did the county king find me here?"

Fu Jiuqu sneered.

"When will it be your turn to ask the king?"

The muscles on the big man's face twitched twice, and there seemed to be some light flashing in his eyes, he stared at Fu Jiuqu for a long time, and suddenly said:

"More than 20 years ago, I was imprisoned for stealing rich businessmen because of my family's poverty, and was confiscated into the northwest army...... After General Di stepped down as a privy envoy, I was unhappy for him, and once because Shangguan was disrespectful to General Di, I had a big fight with Shangguan, and I accidentally killed him, and was imprisoned for questioning......

Speaking of this, he asked Fu Jiuqu rhetorically.

"Didn't the county king ever suspect the cause of General Di's death? I thought you came back to Beijing this time to avenge the general?"

Xin Yi was slightly startled.

Di Qing was bold and righteous, made friends in the army, never considered noble or low, and mingled with the soldiers. After his death, there are not many people who remember his kindness, but there are not many people who are obsessed with avenging him because of this......

Fu Jiuqu looked at him as usual.

"Are you Qiu Junshan?"

The man's eyes lit up, "Does the county king know about the villain?"

Fu Jiuqu: "I know you, but I don't know why it's your ......"....

Qiu Junshan's face was faintly excited.

"King Jun, sit, sit down and talk slowly."

··

Qiu Junshan smiled badly, and he didn't think the clothes shop was narrow, so he moved the stacked paper money and paper clothes inside, made room for a table, and took out two jars of wine from the back room, took a few wine bowls, and filled them respectively.

"I delivered the letter."

Seeing that Fu Jiuqu and the others were not moving, he picked up a sea bowl, drank it all, wiped his mouth, and then said:

"That day, I saw that someone offered a reward to ask Bai Xiaosheng about the whereabouts of the prisoner, and I promised a hundred taels of gold, so I was tempted and took the risk to hand over the letter. I just don't know, how did the king find me?"

Fu Jiuqu: "The letter smells of dark paper. You're the only one in the alleys."

Anyone who has ever smelled the smell of dark paper knows that it is a smell that can be easily distinguished.

Qiu Junshan was stunned and scratched his head.

"The county king is wise, but I am too imprudent."

Fu Jiuqu: "Why did you do this?"

Qiu Junshan said, "To tell you the truth, I am one of the six prisoners who were released from Kaifeng Mansion by the warden. But I don't know why the warden let me go

？ After escaping from prison, I had nowhere to go, so I followed them to the five alleys, but I was really different from the five of them, and it was difficult to make a living, so I left to find another livelihood......

He looked at the old and the young in the room.

"The original person in this family is the son of an old man who fought in the Northwest Army...... My mother died early, my daughter-in-law ran away with someone, and I was unfortunately cut by this crazy father, so I was asked to take care of the old and young in his family when I was dying, and I settled down in the clothes shop."

Fu Jiuqu half-closed his eyelids and didn't speak.

Qiu Junshan sighed.

"There is no place for me in this huge Bianjing City......

Fu Jiuqu: "Why don't you leave Bianjing?"

Qiu Junshan's eyes turned red, "General Di's revenge has not been avenged, how can I leave Bianjing?"

··

The blue curtain carriage stopped at the Daxiangguoji Bridge.

The rain had lightened, and they had to say goodbye here.

Cao Yi hesitated, turned around and rode to the side of the carriage, and silently pressed the hat on his head.

"Wouldn't it be inappropriate to leave Qiu Junshan in the five miscellaneous alleys?"

Fu Jiuqu lifted the curtain, looked at him for a moment, and smiled.

"Is there a better way for Lord Cao?"

Cao Yi looked at his cold and silent dark eyes, and subconsciously glanced at the silent pretty face beside him, wanting to say something, but finally swallowed it again.

"Chonglou, Qiu Junshan is a prisoner of the imperial court. We don't report it, we let it go into hiding, and if something happens, we're just afraid of ......."

"I'll take care of what happens."

Fu Jiuqu's tone was resolute and powerful, and he glanced at Cao Yi after speaking.

"Qiu Junshan acted recklessly, but he kept his promises and would never betray you and me. If Master Cao looks forward and backwards, he can withdraw from the plan, as if he has never seen me and does not know what happened tonight."

Cao Yi remained motionless.

Drenched in the rain, look at him.

Cai Qi looked at this, looked at that, cleared his throat, stepped forward, patted the rain and mist on his body, and said with a smile:

"Afraid of what? Isn't it just a few people who died and a prisoner was released? How big is it, what is the responsibility, I will bear it with my master, and it is none of your business......

"Shut up!"

"Shut up!"

Fu Jiuqu and Cao Yi spoke in unison.

yelled at Cai Qi so much that he couldn't open his mouth, the two glanced at each other, and regained their composure.

Cao Yi said: "Chonglou, I want to avenge my teacher in the same mood as you, but you and I must not break the rules and regulations. Walk right and sit upright, so that you will not go astray......

The corners of Fu Jiuqu's lips hooked sneeringly: "Talking to the rat wolf generation is above board? Then why don't you just surrender?"

"Alright, alright."

Cai Qi raised his hand to cover the top of his head.

"It's raining heavily, so let's all go home. On the other side of the five miscellaneous alleys, there is an inspector from the Imperial City Division staring at it, you can go back to sleep with peace of mind, and we will discuss it tomorrow!"

Fu Jiuqu smiled and lowered the curtain.

Cao Yi stood in place, staring at the domestic carriage and slowly leaving, and only after a long time did he let out a long sigh.

"Zijin, have you noticed that Chonglou is getting more and more chaotic now?!"

Cai Qi smiled, "Really? Hasn't he always gone his own way, and his six relatives don't recognize him? Let's go, Master Cao, don't think about it so much. He's a cat, nine lives, and nothing can happen."
