Under the guidance of Lord Chen, the three of them hurried to the east of the city, and after about a pillar of incense, they stopped by a small river. At this time, it was the second day of the second month of February, the air was wet with smoke and rain, there were no lights around, and Wang Hou could only vaguely see a bamboo forest in front of him. Chen Duo said: "Zhang Yizhen lives in the bamboo forest, the bamboo forest is all thorny bamboo, up to seven zhang, usually used as a windproof or fence, because his martial arts are average, the only apprentice is still practicing medicine in other places, so he arranged the "Tiandu Great Array" in the bamboo forest, the organs are heavy, without his permission, I dare not enter. ”

Liu Hanyan asked, "Can we go around from behind?" "The Tiandu Great Array, as the name suggests, is that there are traps all around, and it is impossible to bypass it. Every time we come we call him out loud, I'll try. Chen Duozhu said, put his double closure in front of his mouth, sent out the internal force, and called out repeatedly, "Zhang Yipin...... Zhang Yizhen ......"

The three of them waited for a while, but there was still silence all around, and there was a faint worry in their hearts. Wang Hou said in a deep voice: "You guys are here, I'll go in and have a look." "Nerd, be careful yourself." Liu Hanyan knew that his martial arts were much weaker, and at this time, he was in danger, so he naturally didn't dare to make any more trouble.

Wang Hou snorted, he had already rushed across the river, and several of them had risen and fallen to the edge of the bamboo forest, which showed that each bamboo was thick and straight, dense and compact. The secret mechanism must be located in the bamboo forest, this bamboo is seven feet high, it is difficult for ordinary people to cross from above, if you pass through it should not be dangerous. Thinking of this, he exerted his strength under his feet, his body rose dexterously, his palms slapped on the bamboo pole, and he took advantage of the momentum to rise again, and he had already stood on the tip of the bamboo more than seven zhang high, followed by a few ups and downs, and swept towards the forest.

Sure enough, the bamboo forest was safe and sound, rushed out a few steps, Wang Hou remembered something, picked a bamboo leaf and threw it into the forest, only to hear the rustling sound, the bamboo forest actually moved, it should have triggered the "Tiandu Great Array". Wang Hou didn't dare to hesitate, his body raised a style of "who can shrink the ground" and swept through the air, and he could still hear the rustling sound in the bamboo forest.

"It seems that this formation in the forest has not been destroyed...... Why shouldn't a one-needle master? Could it be that the day is too hard? While pondering, he did not pause under his feet, and several consecutive forms of "who can shrink the ground" had reached the middle of the bamboo forest. Faintly visible is an open field, covered with two huts, and the fragrance of flowers in front of the house.

Wang Hou didn't dare to jump down easily, picked a handful of bamboo leaves and scattered them, without the slightest movement, secretly saying that there might be no mechanism in this open area, so he floated down, blew the fire fold, and said loudly: "Master Yizhen, the salt gang Chen Duo Master is here." Listen, the room is still quiet.

Wang Hou was hesitating to push the door in, when he suddenly heard the sound of rustling behind him, and looked for the sound, only to see a black shadow on the edge of the bamboo forest about five zhang away from him, and the sound came from there. Relying on the courage of the artist, Wang Hou jumped over, and when he came to the front, by the light of the fire, it turned out to be a person lying on the ground, with silver hair, and three feather arrows stuck in his back!

Wang Hou was startled, squatted down and helped the man around, and sure enough, it was a needle, and the corners of his mouth were bloodstained, and one of the feather arrows actually penetrated his body to reveal the arrow. Wang Hou saw that he was too seriously injured, and his anger was like a gossamer, so he immediately threw away the fire fold, pressed his other hand on his chest, and slowly entered the true qi.

With a slight gasp, Zhang Yi's body moved. "One needle master, one needle master." Wang Hou called softly, felt him move again, and called, "Master Yizhu, who harmed you?" Say it, I'll avenge you......" Zhang Yizhen suddenly struggled, but his body twitched violently a few times, and then he let out a long sigh, and there was no breath.

Wang Hou grew so big, it was the first time he had come into contact with a dead person, but this silver-haired old man died so pitifully that although he was afraid in his heart, he still held him in his arms. In the middle of the night, Wang Hou slowly withdrew his hand and put Zhang Yipin's needle on the ground, judging from the posture of his falling to the ground, it should have been an arrow outside the bamboo forest, and after running in, he finally fell to the ground due to physical exhaustion.

After he noticed the poison in the small box at the helm of the Tea Horse Gang, he thought of the poisoning of Deputy Helmsman Wu, and speculated that the person who poisoned him was not accidental, but wanted to provoke the relationship between the Salt Gang and the Tea Horse Gang, so he must attack Zhang Yizhen and prevent him from treating it. I hate myself for not thinking of this at dinner, otherwise it might not have been like this.

Before, the other party may not have expected that Zhang Yizhi could detoxify this poison, or it may be as the lily fairy said, the other party was trying to make a new poison, so he asked him to try to detoxify. When he rescued Vice Helmsman Wu, the other party would not let him go. When Zhang Yizhen was with the people of the Salt Gang, the other party was afraid to do it, and once he saw that he was alone or obviously weak, he would secretly attack...... But who did it?

Wang Hou's heart was in turmoil, and he decided to let Zhang Yizhen sink into the soil first, got up and walked a few steps, waved his palm and hit the ground, and knocked the ground out of the big pit with a style of "the boat goes endlessly". Turned around and picked up Zhang Yipin, pulled out the feather arrow, put him into the pit, filled the pit again with soil, flowers and plants, and bowed three times: "Master Yipin, I will avenge you and ......rest in peace."

Holding the three feather arrows in his hand, Wang Hou pulled up his body, jumped on the tip of the bamboo, and returned the same way. Master Chen and Liu Hanyan were anxiously waiting, and when they saw him coming back, they hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Wang Hou sighed: "Let's go back and talk about it." He stopped talking at the moment, pulled Master Chen Helm, and the three of them left quickly.

Back to the rudder, Wang Hou said that Zhang Yizhen was killed, and he chose to say what he encountered in the tea horse gang rudder, Chen Helm was shocked, he and Zhang Yizhen have been dating for many years, and the two have a close relationship.

Wang Hou comforted a few words, and finally said: "Master Chen, it's not too early, there is something to do tomorrow, the most important thing at the moment is to find out the murderer and avenge the master of a needle." Chen Duo said: "The envoy should go back and rest, and I will sit down again." Wang Hou and Liu Hanyan went out, both of them were in a heavy mood, and silently returned to the bedroom and rested separately.

The next day, after everyone washed, the master of the Su hall led him to the flower hall. When I came last night, it was late, and at this time everyone saw that the rudder was built in a very grand manner: the west side of the building is the ancestral hall, the account room, the flower hall, the Buddha hall, the kitchen, etc.; The east side is mainly a garden, a study, and a bedroom; In the middle is the main hall and the hall hall, and all the houses are connected by corridors and tiles.

The whole rudder system is symmetrical, the front hall and the back sleep, and it is staggered. There is a stone carving on the wall and pillar every other section, various animals such as unicorn, lion elephant are carved very finely, the ground is paved with bluestone and granite, and the plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum is planted at intervals, which looks solemn and smart.

Wang Hou saw that Lord Chen Helm was coming, his face was much haggard, and he knew that he definitely didn't sleep well last night. After breakfast, Wang Hou said: "Master Chen, according to the original plan, I have to go out, you inform your subordinates, before the poisoner is found, be careful, and send additional people to ensure the safety of the rudder; In addition, we must pay close attention to those people in Wanshihui and Dongshan Island, and we must not make any mistakes. Lord Chen nodded yes.

Liu Hanyan saw that he was leaving, and hurriedly said, "Nerd, I'll go with you." "No, you and Ah Zhu are at the helm today to accompany Elder Li and Elder Jin, and now it's not peaceful outside, I'll just go alone." Liu Hanyan experienced last night's incident, although he knew that he was in danger, he didn't say anything, but his face still showed reluctance.

Li Zhixian said: "Yan Gongzi, let's see how Ah Zhu's purple bamboo looks, the helper slept late last night, and the basin is still in Ah Zhu's room...... Fairy, what are you going to do? ”

The lily fairy seemed to be a little twisted: "Mo Qixia said last night that it was the first time they came to Fuzhou, and they asked me to be a guide today and take them around." Lao Liu Yin Cheng said: "The dialect here is difficult to understand, so you have to trouble the fairy." ”

Wang Hou didn't want to be involved in the Tea Horse Gang, so he didn't say what happened in the Tea Horse Gang last night, but said: "The fairy is a master of using poison, and there will naturally be no danger when he goes out, but he can't be careless...... Gang Leader Yang, you are right here, don't go anywhere for the time being. "Gang Leader Yang responded in a loud voice.

Fuzhou Mansion, located in the center of the city, north and south long 80 zhang, east and west wide 50 zhang, more than 150 houses, six doors in the middle of the hanging a piece of "Fujian Fuzhou Governor" plaque, "Fujian" two words for horizontal italics, directly below the engraved "Fuzhou Governor" five larger vertical block letters. A majestic stone lion is placed on each side of the gate, and eight errand officers stand on both sides without squinting.

At this time, a man in white wearing a Taoist hat came over, hugged his fist to one of the messengers and said, "I have asked to see the prefect of the king." The man glared at the man in white: "Look at your unsightly appearance, you still want to see the prefect?" Go home and burn incense for ten days and come back. The man in white was stunned and replied, "Sir, I have been burning incense for twenty days. ”

The errand officer heard the man in white call him "sir", his face couldn't help but relax, and he was about to speak, but a person next to him listened to it but showed disdain: "Sure enough, it's a dirt bun who has never seen the world, everyone is called sir, go back and burn incense for twenty days." "Hey, Chen Xiaoqi, what do you mean by that? If you say he's a dumpling, doesn't it mean that I'm a dumpling? "I mean him, Zhao Asan, what do you care about?"

The man in white was Wang Hou, and when he saw the two of them raising the bar for a sentence of "sir", he felt a little interesting, but he still had important things, and he had no intention of teasing them, so he took out a silver ingot or two: "Sir, this is a little bit of heart, please report it." Zhao Asan saw Wang Hou take out the silver taels, and his face sank: "What are you doing here?" If we let the prefect know, we won't be able to eat and walk around...... What is your name? ”

"In Xia Wang Hou, I made a special trip to meet the prefect of Wang." Wang Hou took down the Dao Li, thinking that reporting his name would suppress them, but he was also General Zhaoyi, the official title of Zheng Sanpin. However, Zhao Asan didn't seem to have heard of this name, and raised his eyes to light up and down again.
