Chapter 42: Terrible
At noon, Tu Qianqiu expected that the murderer must be hiding at this time, and there were many streets near the Song Wangfu, and the location of the newborn children was relatively scattered, so he invited the first pavilion of Zhou Bugui to come to help.
"Lord Zhou, I'm sorry for you to help me a lot, I have made a military order, and the murderer must be caught within three days."
Zhou Bugui patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, no matter who this murderer is, if he killed so many people in Da Zhou, he must also be caught and given an explanation to the people." ”
The location of the Song Wangfu is not in the bustling street, Zhao Zili was not favored back then, and the prince's mansion is also in a relatively remote location, and now it is also used to living.
Emperor Wu originally planned to change him to a more prosperous and magnificent palace, but Zhao Zili refused.
The gate of the palace faces an alley, and on both sides of the alley are the courtyard walls of dilapidated and quaint moss-covered civilian courtyards, and some courtyard walls are also covered with dense green creeper vines, which seem to sweep away the sultry heat of Luoyang under the narrow shadow, and have a little cool feeling.
There are many shops on both sides of the street, and the afterglow of the twilight sunset faintly spreads on the red bricks and green tiles or the brightly colored pavilion cornices, adding a bit of hazy and poetic to the prosperous evening scene of Luoyang City in front of you.
Tu Qianqiu and Zhou Bugui hid all the people in the Plum Blossom Pavilion in the alleys, or disguised themselves as small vendors, and they looked no different from usual on the outside.
As Zhao Zili expected, the wind disaster and the fire disaster had to temporarily give up monitoring after the people from the Plum Blossom Pavilion came.
But he was still traced back by Zhou Bugui, and muttered to himself: "There are still masters nearby, it seems that it is very likely to be jointed." ”
An unexpected accident still appeared, and Ah Li hurried to find Zhou Bugui: "My lord, something happened, the key is missing, and Lord Blood Qianhiro also came with news that Prince Rong's body is gone." ”
"How can this be, isn't the key in the dungeon of the Plum Blossom Pavilion?" Zhou Bugui frowned, no matter how he thought about escaping at this time, it was weird.
"Today is the day he was treated, and the escort was knocked unconscious halfway through, and when he woke up, he was gone."
Zhou Bugui thought for a while and said: "Put aside the key in advance, he can't make any big waves now, and solve the murderer in front of him first." ”
In a remote corner of Luoyang, a man covered in chains and with dull eyes was being dragged forward by the plague, and when he looked around, there was no one, and the plague threw him to the ground.
"This guy is so heavy." The plague gasped for breath, but his eyes were very excited, and the people on the ground were the key.
Holding his hand on the critical pulse, the plague used his internal force to swim through his body for a long week.
"Yes, it seems that he was a master before, but after being refined by the poisonous blood sacrifice, his skills have improved, and he is a good helper."
The plague lifted the key up, shattered the iron chain on his body with a sword, and took out a blood-red elixir from his arms.
He said with some pain: "This blood pill is the last one, help you improve your skills, but you have to repay me well." ”
Pry open the key mouth and feed him the pill, and the right hand of the plague gathered internal force and quickly shrouded the Baihui acupoint on the top of the key's head.
Key's originally dull gaze suddenly brightened, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
It didn't take long for the plague to put away its internal strength and look at the key, and the latter suddenly knelt down on one knee and shouted: "Master." ”
Plague nodded with satisfaction, it seems that the puppet is perfectly made, and the key to using the blood poison in his body and the blood pill is his most perfect stand-in.
"Take the broken sword, go and grab some babies for me, my body can't wait." The plague handed over his cloak and broken sword to the key.
The key did not hesitate, after taking it, he quickly jumped on the nearby high wall, and after being controlled by the epidemic, the internal force was stronger than before.
But all this was seen by a small eye, and when the two were gone, a man with a rickety figure and only one eye appeared.
"This should be the person the shopkeeper told me to find, I didn't expect to be bumped into by my gas guzzler."
The gas guster is a hard-working man, born disabled, bullied, and endured the warmth and coldness of the world.
Until Zhao Zili opened the Da Zhou Express, he succeeded in becoming a clerk with his amazing will.
Not long ago, the shopkeeper Tian Rong handed each courier a portrait and asked them to follow the map, telling them that the big boss was looking for this person, but he didn't expect to be bumped into by him.
"Hurry up and report to the shopkeeper, now you can repay it well." To have a job, the gas guzzler is grateful, and the mysterious big boss is his biggest benefactor.
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and a flying knife pierced the body of the gas guzzler, and he fell down in an instant.
"Sure enough, there are rats." The plague had long felt as if there were people around, and they had just pretended to leave.
After making sure that there was no movement of the mouse, the epidemic left with peace of mind this time.
But the gas guzzler's body suddenly struggled to get up, and he still had a breath in his mouth full of blood.
"No, I can't just die, I haven't repaid the shopkeeper yet." With amazing willpower, the gas guzzler leaned against the wall and walked forward step by step.
I don't know how long I walked, but I finally saw the door of the store.
With the last of his strength, the gas guzzler rushed in. Seeing the oil guzzler covered in blood, Tian Rong was shocked and hurriedly helped him up: "Mouse, mouse, what's wrong with you." ”
Tian Rong was deeply impressed by the fuel guzzler, originally he didn't want to hire him, but Zhao Zili told not to judge people by their appearance, and anyone should be given a chance.
And after the fuel guguzzler successfully entered the express station, he was conscientious and tired of doing dirty work, and slowly everyone liked him very much.
"Palm... Shopkeeper, the person the big boss is looking for I found, in... Caijia Lane... There are two people, and the other party should have arranged... A stand-in was arranged. ”
The gas guzzler struggled to speak, and he saw that he had more air than he was inhaling, but at this time he was smiling, and he was smiling very happily: "Shopkeeper, I have lived for decades, and only you and the big guy are human beings." ”
Suddenly, the gas guzzler seemed to have strength, but the onlookers knew that it was a return to light.
"I can have the shopkeeper and brothers, I didn't come to this world in vain, please tell the big boss, the gas guzzler will repay in the next life... Repay him. ”
After saying that, the gas guzzler closed his eyes, and everyone present burst into tears.
Tian Rong was full of grief and indignation, but he didn't dare to delay: "Li Er, close the door of the store, the others will settle the rats first, and I will inform the boss." ”
Now that the vicinity of the palace is full of people from the Plum Blossom Pavilion, Tian Rong did not dare to go rashly, and wrote the letter with the fastest hand speed as soon as the fuel guzzler spoke.
handed over the letter to the person who had arranged it in advance, and soon reached Zhao Zili through the secret passage, and Zhao Zili was silent after reading the letter.
"Lord Wang, what did the shopkeeper Tian say in his letter?" Gao Xiang asked on the side.
Zhao Zili gave the letter to Gao Xiang, who took a closer look and sighed: "I can't imagine that a little person is so loyal and unparalleled." ”
"Yes, he has made a great contribution this time, but I can't repay him, I can only avenge him." Zhao Zili's eyes were full of anger.
"Uncle Xiang, you quietly let the Plum Blossom Pavilion discover this information, and they also know something about the stand-in of the epidemic."
Soon, under Zhao Zili's arrangement, Zhou Bugui learned about the epidemic substitute from Ah Li's mouth.
"The key was actually snatched by the murderer, and it was refined into a stand-in."
Ah Li nodded and said: "A resident came to report that his co-worker was killed, but he inadvertently saw the key to being taken away, and he also saw the murderer before he died. Although he didn't know the key, through his description before he died, his subordinates judged that it was him. ”
"It seems that there are still a lot of secrets about Prince Rong." Zhou Bugui thought about it carefully and said.
"My lord, I also told the two pavilion masters of Blood Qianxun and Tu Qianqiu about this, in case the other party transferred the tiger away from the mountain."
Zhou Bugui nodded and said: "Tell the forbidden army that they still have to strengthen their vigilance in the princess's mansion, the other party has arranged a stand-in, and it is likely that they will attack the princess's mansion to disturb the audio-visual." ”
As Zhou Bugui expected, the plague and the key were indeed lurking near the princess's mansion.
"Hehe, these fools, still on guard here, blood slaves, after nightfall, launch an attack immediately, and death will be rested."
Key didn't speak, just nodded silently.
Time passed little by little, the sun also set in the afternoon, and boundless darkness shrouded Luoyang City.
In an ordinary house, the plague brutally killed the male owner of the house, grabbed the baby on the side and bit it on the neck, gushing blood out of it made him feel extremely excited.
"You brute!" When the seriously injured mother saw her child killed, she dragged her injured body and rushed over desperately.
"The weak have no right to resist." The plague used internal force to smash the woman's heavenly spirit cover with one palm.
The woman fell to the ground slowly, pointed at the plague with her last strength, and said: "The thunder in the sky will crush your body, and the flames of hell will eventually engulf you, and I will wait for you on the road to the Yellow Springs." ”
After that, the head is tilted and the eyes are not blinded.
"Perhaps, but you won't see it." The plague looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late, and after absorbing the baby's blood, he felt that his physical condition had almost recovered, and muttered: "The blood slave should start acting, and I have to complete the task as soon as possible." ”
The sky suddenly began to drizzle in the afternoon, indicating that something big was going to happen tonight.
Outside the princess's mansion, Xiao Bieli was arranging patrols in an orderly manner, when suddenly a sword aura struck.
Xiao Biali is not a mediocre talent, and shouted: "Be so daring, dare to be presumptuous in front of the forbidden army, everyone should not move to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Lifting the spear, it hit the key in the rain, and the drizzle was scattered by the majestic internal force of the two.
Although the key is to improve martial arts, it is still inferior to Xiao Bieli in terms of internal strength.
Inside the house, Zhao Zifeng also heard the sound of fighting outside, but this time she didn't panic.
"Aunt Xue, what's the situation outside?"
"Rest assured, princess, there will be no problem with the forbidden army."
Zhao Zifeng also nodded: "This is very good, so that the seventh brother will be safe... No, the other party is really turning the tiger away from the mountain. ”
Suddenly, Zhao Zifeng realized that something was wrong, the forbidden army was so obviously protecting the other party and actually rushed over stupidly.
"Aunt Xue, tell Lord Xiao immediately, don't fall in love with the other party's purpose is not with me."
When Xue Bo heard this, he also realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly walked out of the door and shouted loudly: "Lord Xiao, Her Royal Highness the princess said that this person is a bait, and the other party has other purposes. ”
As soon as Xiao Beili heard it, he understood it instantly, and immediately went all out without reservation, and made a quick decision.
