Chapter 15: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake
When Xu Jianping returned to the yamen, it was already noon, and as soon as Xu Jianping stepped into the yamen, he bumped into Chen Yibing with a resentful face, "Brother Xu, I never wanted to hide so deeply, but last night was full of scenery, I don't know what Concubine Xiaoxiang tastes like?" ”
"People are terrible, don't talk nonsense, insult people's innocence for no reason, last night I was tired of drinking, and everything was ...... attempt"
Chen Yibing circled around Xu Jianping, sniffed with his nose, and there was a sour smell, "Well, I believe you." ”
"I'll go somewhere with so-and-so, and I'll go and change my clothes." Xu Jianping pulled his sleeve and sniffed it, looked back at the road, and didn't know if he had soiled the bed last night, so he turned around and came to the backyard.
Xu Jianping just walked to the door of the wing, his expression was shocked, on weekdays, when the old man Zhang habitually went out, he would clip a piece of camphor leaves in the crack of the door, obviously Xu Jianping also learned this, looking at the empty door, Xu Jianping pulled out a long knife, tiptoed to the door, took a deep breath, kicked suddenly, and the door opened.
"Why are you here" Xu Jianping put down the long knife, walked to the bed, laboriously lifted the wooden bed, pulled out the wooden box from the inside, and put the long knife back.
"Yes, act steadily, be quick-witted, it seems that what the dossier says is basically true" Bai Qiuxue sat indifferently at the table, playing with the camphor leaf in his hand, there was a yellow dossier on the table, and he looked closer to see that the word Jiangling was written on the cover.
Xu Jianping took off his clothes and walked to the door with a piece of white silk, "What's the matter, don't say something idle." ”
Bai Qiuxue was not annoyed, but a little appreciative, "Interesting, so good, Bai came this time, firstly, you are quiet, suitable for healing, and secondly, you are invited to join the embroidered imperial history." ”
"This matter will be said in the future" Xu Jianping walked directly to the well, found a wooden bucket, and cleaned it by himself.
After Xu Jianping finished cleaning, he came to the yamen hall and called Chen Yibing, "Let's go, go to a place with a certain person." ”
"It's a little wrong, this is the way to Xiaoxiang Pavilion!" Chen Yibing is obviously an old fritter in Jingzhou, and as he walked, he found that this road was actually going to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, so he quipped: "Little young man, you haven't had fun last night, and you're haunted by dreams, ready to announce it during the day... Lewd? ”
Xu Jianping immediately remembered the white and flawless and bumpy body in the early morning, a stream of blood rushed to his head, and he instantly blushed to the root of his ears, and immediately retorted: "I said that I was tired last night and didn't do anything, don't talk nonsense." ”
Chen Yibing glanced at Xu Jianping's face that was red to the root of his ears, "Yes, then why are you limping when you walk?" ”
"Fuck, Lao Tzu is a man, limping is a woman's business" Xu Jianping couldn't help it when he heard this, and directly picked up the long knife to kill Chen Yibing.
After chasing for a while, Xu Jianping was bored, he couldn't, anyway, Chen Yibing was a third-grade martial artist, and Xu Jianping's unpopular scum was still almost far away.
The two walked for about half an hour and came to a residential area, Xu Jianping looked at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion not far away, took out a Bingding Cave Talisman from the wooden box, and recited the words in his mouth: "Qingqing Lingling, Bingding under the heart, Nandou on the right, and seven stars on the left." I saw that the appendix was burned, turning into a spiritual light from the tip of Xu Jianping's eyebrows, and the black mole on his eyebrows instantly turned into a third eye, looking around, and locking his eyes on a mansion.
This is a rather strange house, said to be a residence, but it has a high city wall, a brass-colored gate on the city wall is locked, if it weren't for a high attic inside, Xu Jianping really thought that after opening this iron gate, it would be outside the city.
Xu Jianping walked around the "courtyard wall" and found that this was a semicircular mansion, with high walls erected on three sides, facing the beautiful Xiangjiang River on one side.
Xu Jianping put down the long knife, spat and rubbed his hands, this is the rhythm of wanting to climb up with his bare hands.
Seeing such a humiliating scene, Chen Yibing hurriedly ran a few meters away, pretending to look around, as if to say that he didn't know this person.
Xu Jianping took a few steps back, ran a lot, kicked on the wall, one step, two steps, three steps, and then jumped hard, grabbed it with both hands, and miraculously grabbed the wall. Xu Jianping sat on the wall and said "hehe" to Chen Yibing below. Obviously, Xu Jianping's training with Qian Zhutou has had an effect in recent days, and his physical fitness has improved slightly compared to before.
Chen Yibing picked up his jaw, picked up the long knife on the ground for Xu Jianping, and jumped directly over the city wall into the courtyard, making Xu Jianping, who was still complacent, lose his mind.
Xu Jianping searched lightly and found that the courtyard was empty, and after signaling to Chen Yibing, he planned to enter the house to find clues. Just as the two were about to push open the door and enter, they suddenly heard footsteps at the door. Chen Yibing hurriedly pulled Xu Jianping to hide behind the flowerbed rockery in the courtyard.
After a burst of rustling noise, seven or eight people walked into the courtyard, led by a dwarf man who was only three feet tall and had an old face, followed by a hat man, Xu Jianping looked at Chen Yibing, shook his hand, and signaled him not to act rashly.
After he entered the house, Xu Jianping tiptoed to the window, took a sip of his index finger, and then poked a hole in the window paper, squinted and found that there were three people standing in the room at the moment, in addition to the dwarf man and the hat man, there was also a short and dark-skinned Miao Jiang man. Xu Jianping knew at first glance that this was the Gu poison manipulator they were looking for.
Xu Jianping was surprised, and leaned down to hear what they were talking about inside.
"Big brother, I will ~~~~~ as you instruct" The words were still halfway to listening, suddenly
"Ahh A bang
It turned out that Chen Yibing also made an opening in the window next door, and after seeing the Miao Jiang man, he screamed in surprise for some reason. The occupants of the room were instantly alert.
"Who."
Fortunately, Chen Yibing reacted quickly, and when he saw that his whereabouts had been exposed, he did not hesitate, and pulled Xu Jianping over the city wall and walked away.
Fortunately, the two of them ran fast enough, and the guards in the courtyard didn't react at all, but they also lost the opportunity to hear more information. At the same time, it also startled the snake.
When Xu Jianping returned to the yamen, reported the situation to Qian Zhutou, and led a group of people to rush to the house, the courtyard was already empty.
Chen Yibing was obviously very annoyed, if he could calm down at that time, evacuate first and then lead everyone to round up, then he would definitely be able to capture him.
"I'm sorry, Brother Xu, Fang Cai is impatient."
Xu Jianping looked at Chen Yibing, and had to comfort: "It's okay, since you can find them once, you can also find them a second time." ”
The man in the hat called the dwarf man his eldest brother, and listened to his tone, obviously very obedient and afraid, if it weren't for this person, he was the mastermind behind the whole case. There are also the people of Miao Jiang, no wonder everyone has searched for a few days without a trace, it turned out that they had been hiding in that house, and after this time they were scared of the snakes, it is estimated that they have hidden deeper.
"How did you know they were hiding in that house?" asked Qian Zhutou in surprise.
Xu Jianping looked at it and did not answer, but asked with concern: "Boss Qian, what are your eyes?" ”
"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way" Qian Zhutou was a little embarrassed, last night he talked with the two girls all night, and fought for a night.
Xu Jian said slowly: "After the burning of the Yuelai Inn, I noticed that the murderer was hiding in the east of the city, and yesterday I sensed his general location in Xiaoxiang, so I went over with Brother Chen to investigate today. ”
"You really went to investigate the case yesterday?" Qian Zhutou thought of the chance encounter at the gate of Xiaoxiang Pavilion yesterday, thinking that Xu Jianping was just like him, just making an excuse at random, and he was secretly ashamed in his heart.
At night, in the wings.
"Thou shalt sleep in bed."
"Thou shalt sleep in bed."
"Sleep out, hold so-and-so."
