"Okay, let's talk about these things after I report them to Lao Guan." The man who opened the door stretched out a hand and said, "You are lucky, there are no more debts, just waiting for you, the debt collector, to collect the debts." ”

Wang Su laughed at himself a little, took out the account book and handed it to the person who opened the door, and said, "I'd rather have no debts for the rest of my life for me to collect." Don't you know what it means for me to collect a debt every time? ”

The person who opened the door also smiled, obviously it was not the first time to help Wang Su keep accounts, took out a stack of files from the bookshelf behind him, spread them out, and took a pen to write on the account book.

"You know, how can the world ever be peaceful? During the reign of the first emperor, the Hu people in the north knocked on the pass and fought all the way to the capital. Oh, it can be regarded as breaking the backbone of our Datang. "The person who opened the door obviously also dealt with the paperwork a lot, and the handwriting was not as fast as possible, and it was pleasing to the eye and very beautiful.

If you don't know what the meaning behind these ink words is, such a pair of words is really beautiful.

"After the Hu people fought in the capital, how could the world have been peaceful? Being able to live a day is a day, and being able to be stable is worth a point. ”

Whew-

The person who opened the door blew on the paper of the ledger, dried the ink, and handed it back to Wang Su.

Wang Su took the account book and did not take his words.

"Heh, it has to be you Deng Qing who writes well."

It turned out that the person who opened the door was named Deng Qing.

Deng Qing threw the pen away, threw it on the inkstone on the side, held his head in his hands, fell on the desk with both feet, and cocked the chair.

"I have studied in a private school in the capital for several years, and the teacher there has not much ability, shouting loyalty to the country every day, and as soon as the Hu people arrive at the city gate, hehe, one is weaker than the other. Teach students that if they have a hand, they can't write well, and they can't memorize it, so they should quit serving with a ruler. ”

Wang Su's ability to observe words and colors was practiced as early as when he was still in the embroidery department, and he naturally found that Deng Qing's interest in talking today was to criticize state affairs, and he had to let him.

"You don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings, the world is in chaos, you can eat enough, you can have books to read, it is already a blessing to pour the sky, what are you not satisfied with?"

Deng Qing smiled and said: "People, you always have to look at Shu, if you are full today, you will think about eating meat tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow you will think about eating a bowl of meat and pouring a bowl of meat." ”

As if remembering something, Deng Qing asked again: "By the way, I remember that you are also literate and have read a few books." Did you go to school? ”

Wang Su shook his head, opened the account book and looked at the page written by Deng Qingxin, and said: "When I was a child, my family opened a restaurant, but you also know that at that time, it was not easy for the family to have enough to eat, so how could I have any spare money for my studies?" But at that time, my father relieved a dying scholar and hired him as a bookkeeper. The bookkeeper taught me to read when he had nothing to do. ”

The two didn't communicate much on this topic, Wang Su browsed it and asked, "Disciple of Tianwu Pavilion?" ”

"That's right, Yongzhou Tianwu Pavilion, a month ago, five women were kidnapped in Yongzhou, all of them were humiliated by him, and there were no corpses. These disciples of each sect, taking advantage of the current chaos in the world, jumped out one by one to fight for the tiger. ”

Wang Su naturally trusted Deng Qing, after all, many years of friendship and friendship were there, but he still raised his own question: "The case that the Embroidery Division informed me about recently, why does it seem to be related to the disciples of the sect?" Is there any arrangement from above? ”

Deng Qing raised his head slightly, so that Wang Su could see the surprise in his eyes, he pretended to be relaxed and said: "It may be winter soon, the Hu clan is afraid that they will knock again this year, so they want to take advantage of the chaos to make some benefits." ”

Wang Su understood Deng Qing, and found a lot from Deng Qing's slightly changed tone, and already had a general answer in his heart.

But he didn't pierce Deng Qing.

Not necessarily.

As long as the information provided by the Embroidery Division is true, and the disciples of the Martial Pavilion really insult and kill women on this day, then he should write an account in the debt collector's account book - to write off the account with death.

It doesn't matter if it's a knife, as long as it's aimed at the wicked, what's the harm in being a knife?

Wang Su nodded and said, "Okay, I'll stay near the orphan of the He family for the past two days to prevent the assassin from coming back, and then I'll go east to Yongzhou Tianwu Pavilion to find him." ”

Deng Qing smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you go quickly, my office temple in Liangzhou is small, and I can't accommodate your big Buddha." ”

Wang Su ignored Deng Qing's ridicule, took the account book back into his arms, waved his hand and left.

Watching Wang Su leave, Deng Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

When Wang Su walked out of the secret door, a subordinate next to him came over and said, "Master Deng, tell him to go to ......."

Deng Qing looked like a ruffian in the face of Wang Su, but in the face of his subordinates, he raised the shelf of Shangguan again and said, "He naturally has this ability." Even if he knew, he would still do it. After all, it doesn't conflict with his philosophy. ”

The subordinate asked again: "What about our arrangements?" ”

"No change." Deng Qing ordered.

"Whoa."

Deng Qing looked at the tea that Wang Su hadn't finished drinking, and muttered in his heart: Wang Su, Wang Su, the last time you were dismissed by the embroidery secretary was because of stubbornness, I hope that after so many years, don't be so stubborn anymore......

-------------------------------------

It was already deep at night, and there was no pedestrians on the streets, and there were occasional long, hoarse announcements and crisp beatings.

Wang Su took the address given by Deng Qing, found the home of the orphan of the He family, stepped on the wall and flew to the roof with a little help.

It was pitch black, and there was no light. In this environment, hearing is infinitely magnified.

Well? No, this kid just lost his master today, why hasn't there been any movement?

Wang Su used his internal force to attach it to his eardrums, and immediately heard everything around him clearly, whether it was the tiny chirping of insects or the snoring of a family sleeping next door.

Wang Su frowned slightly, still not hearing any sound from the He family's orphaned home, so he gently picked up a few roof tiles.

What about people?

He didn't see anyone, and the furniture in the room wasn't messy.

Wang Su was suspicious, turned over and got off the roof, drew the sword at his waist, inserted it into the crack of the door, picked the latch locked on the door, and slowly pushed it open.

The wooden door was obviously in disrepair, and the shaft on which the door panel rotated had not been oiled for many years, and under the impetus of Wang Su, it creaked, which was particularly harsh in this silent night.

Wang Su stood on tiptoe and walked in, and by the moonlight shining through the door, Wang Su's excellent eyesight could see everything in the room clearly.

After some searching, Wang Su confirmed that there was no one at home, and he was a little worried about the comfort of the He family's orphans, but also had doubts.

Even if that kid doesn't know much work, it won't take much effort to take him away, and it won't cause any damage here. But what's the point of taking that kid away? If it's for revenge or something, wouldn't it be more straightforward to kill him directly?

But if the kid runs away on his own, where can he run alone?

Deng Qing also said in the information given to me that after the two of them came to settle in Lanqing City, they didn't meet any acquaintances here, and most of them were just neighbors.

In this way, it is more likely that the assassin during the day, or the subordinate of the person behind the scenes, did it. But why did they take them captive?

After all, he has served in the embroidery department for many years, and Wang Su has a lot of experience in investigating cases, so it is basically certain that the orphans of the He family were taken away, since they were taken away, there is no danger to their lives for the time being, and it can even be said that there will be no life for a long time. After all, he is just a child, and there is nothing in him.

Of course, Wang Su didn't think about whether the orphans of the He family might have hidden any martial arts cheats or something. However, as soon as this idea was generated, Wang Su himself vetoed it.

If the orphan of the He family really has a treasure, then this treasure is nothing more than two possibilities, either he brought it out from He Jiabao five years ago, or it was passed on to him by Zhao Xun. Even if there really is such a treasure, they must not look down on it.

Since he has been able to secretly monitor Zhao Xun for so many years, he will naturally investigate the identity of the child who follows Zhao Xun, and know that he is the orphan of the He family but has not taken care of anything for so many years, which means that he is not plotting against him.

Wang Su was a little puzzled, due to the lack of information about the people behind the scenes, it was difficult for him to speculate on anything now, so he could only take one step at a time.

But since that kid doesn't have to worry about his life now, then I won't care about him for now, and let the embroidery department go to find someone first.

Wang Su put his sword into its sheath, glanced into the darkness of the room, and walked out of the main door generously, blowing a tune with a very strange tune.

After a while, an embroidered man dressed in embroidered clothes walked out of the shadows.

"Lord Wang, what do you command?" He had been hiding in the dark for a long time, and naturally saw Wang Su enter the house, but as the embroiderer of the embroidery department, he also knew how to measure and what not to ask.

"I'm just a man in the rivers and lakes now, and you don't need to call me an adult." Wang Su waved his hand, signaling that the other party was not polite, "When did you come here to monitor today?" ”

"Yes. We have been hiding nearby to monitor and protect Zhao Kuo, that is, the child, since he sent him back. ”

It turns out that the child's name is now Zhao Kuo, I think Zhao Xun is trying to hide his identity, or he doesn't want him and Zhao Kuo to think about the incident of He Jiabao five years ago.

"Did you see anyone coming?"

"No, if there is anyone we will report it." This embroidered man was a little puzzled at first, and then he figured out the taste from Wang Su's words, his face changed, and he exclaimed, "You mean that Zhao Kuo is gone?" ”

"Yes." Wang Su nodded and said, "Didn't you see any abnormalities?" ”

The embroidery man looked a little ugly, in the embroidery department, the salary is high, the benefits are good, but the field is not only dangerous, if you make a big mistake, heh, don't think that the embroidery division is a good stubble.

He thought for a moment and reported truthfully: "No, I have arranged all the people around, no matter where outsiders approach, someone will definitely report." ”

Wang Su thought for a while and said, "In this way, you can call all your people over." ”

The embroidered man hugged his fist and listened to the order, and called everyone over, when many embroidered clothes gathered over, he suddenly changed his expression, a little gloomy, and ordered two of them to say a few words, and the two people left after the order.

"I've got one less person." The embroidered man walked back to Wang Su's side, his face cloudy, and reported.

Wang Su looked at him and saw that he was a little hesitant, and immediately understood what he was thinking.

"If he doesn't see the body, he must have done it carefully."

Xiuyilang nodded, also realizing the danger of the situation, and said, "I hope that he died by the enemy's sword now." ”

Dead under the enemy's sword, that is naturally a martyr, if he is still alive and well, then it is obvious - the embroidery division has also been infiltrated.

The forces behind that may be even greater than imagined.

Wang Su exhaled and said, "Don't worry, even if it's really a meticulous work, the main responsibility is not yours." ”

For this embroidered man, Wang Su is an old-timer, since he said so, he thinks that his punishment is not too serious, and it is estimated that it is mainly a fine salary, and he can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The two people who had been sent out by the embroidered cloth just now came back quickly, and they both shook their heads at the embroidered cloth lang.

Xiuyilang and Wang Su both saw it, and the little hope that Xiuyilang had was suddenly shattered, and he was still a little disappointed.

Wang Su had already guessed that this was the result, and he didn't blame anything more in this matter.

He is such a person, it happened, it is useless to blame, it is better to plan for the next thing.

"Do you remember Zhao Kuo's appearance?"

"Yes."

"You go to the portrait of the painter in your department, and then hand the portrait to a few nearby cities, and tell the embroidery department there to pay more attention."

"Do you need me to inform the defenders to seal the gates?"

Wang Su glanced at the sky, sighed, and said, "It's been this hour now, presumably they have already escaped from the city." Now the city is closed, not to mention how many opportunities they are still in the city, if the city is closed and investigated, it will inevitably cause panic among the people in the city, for Zhao Kuo, there is no need to be so excited. Since he doesn't have any worries about his life for the time being, I'll track it down slowly. ”

The embroidery secretary got the order, so he went to take people to the portrait, and reported to his boss Deng Qing by the way.

After the embroidered man left, Wang Su walked into the house again, and said to the darkness in the house: "There is no one left, come out." ”

"Hahaha, you deserve to be a debt collector, and the future is terrifying."

Out of the darkness came a man. This man had white eyebrows and white beard, and by the moonlight, Wang Su clearly saw that he was blind in one of his left eyes. He was dressed in a light-colored robe, although he had a white beard and white eyebrows, but he looked old under it, like a young man, but he had an elegant atmosphere, and he thought that he would have a romantic time when he was young.

Although he looked like an old scholar, Wang Su didn't dare to relax at all. He could vaguely feel the internal force and true qi flowing in the old man's body, and there was actually the image of a hidden abyss dragon.

Wang Su leaned slightly sideways, and put his left hand on the hilt of the sword, as if facing a great enemy.

"Since I sense that there is a master like you, I naturally want to call everyone away." Wang Sujian raised his eyebrows, three points cold, seven points cautious, "Who is Your Excellency yet?" ”
