Chapter 10 Joints

"Let's ......"

"Yamen handling the case, let's disperse first......"

The Fengyue Field of Suijin Street is crowded, and the characters who can come here for recreation are all wealthy businessmen and dignitaries in the capital, and the security is far better than other streets and alleys.

Soon after the body was found, all the wealthy nobles who were looking for fun in Chunmanlou ran out, and then the people from the surrounding famous buildings also learned the news and ran to the door of Chunmanlou to inquire about the situation.

Fortunately, Li Guangxian, Jingyanghou and others are not low in status, and they don't hang up the lottery if something happens in the Qinglou, for fear that people outside will spread the rumors and make outrageous rumors such as 'taking turns to get on the horse and having the wind right away', so they directly asked the guards to block people out of the door and wait for the people from the yamen to come over and take over the aftermath.

Cao Aning rushed to the scene with the helpers of the 12 institutes, and found that the people surrounded by Wuwu outside the Chunman Building were all people with status, and he also expected that this case was tricky.

In this kind of place, he is not a dog leg who is not making up, and it is not easy to call and drink to let the idle people wait to get out, and all kinds of polite words along the way before he reluctantly squeezed in front of the gate of Chunmanlou.

Chunmanlou has this file, and the next business will definitely be yellow for a while, and the owner is about to scold his mother in his heart, but the guests in the building can't afford to offend, and he is apologizing to the disturbed benefactor with a smiling face at this time.

Seeing the people of the Twelve Houses coming, the proprietor hurriedly came to him:

"A few poor masters, please. Grandpa Shen didn't come? ”

The twelve institutes are led by twelve eunuchs, each in charge of an errand, and the ninth-ranked Shen Gonggong is in charge of the anti-theft in Kyoto, which is Cao Aning's current top boss.

Cao Aning hung a sign around his waist, and led people to follow the owner into the door, knowing that the owner of Chunmanlou was not a small person behind him, and he spoke quite politely:

"Father-in-law Shen should be on the way over, I'll come over first to see the situation. Where is the deceased? Who are you traveling with? ”

The proprietor of Chunmanlou wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a low voice:

"The deceased was in the corridor on the third floor, and he was a guest of the Marquis of Jingyang's mansion, accompanied by the Marquis of Jingyang, the head of the forbidden army, Li Guangxian, Master Li, and the eldest son of Mrs. Hua......"

Cao Aning heard a string of characters, and was secretly frightened, after all, the status of these people in Yanjing was almost at the level of the empress's eldest cousin, Wang Chihu, and the matter was so bad that it alarmed Emperor Liang.

He didn't dare to slack off, carried his robe and followed him upstairs, and when he reached the staircase, he let his follower stand guard on the second floor and came to the third floor alone.

The girls on the third floor were all sent back to rest, and there were seven or eight people standing in the corridor, most of them were accompanying guards and stewards, led by Li Guangxian and Lu Xingjun, two bigwigs, who were conducting autopsies; Marquis Jingyang was relatively timid because of his mediocre martial arts, so he didn't dare to look at the bloody corpse of the Seven Orifices, so he comforted the frightened Hua Junchen in the house.

Cao Aning saw such an exaggerated lineup, and he didn't dare to be arrogant, and when he walked to the middle of the aisle, he saw two guards standing at the back of seven or eight people, who were stepping forward to look inside, so he stepped forward and raised his hand and patted the shoulder of the next guard:

"Trouble let's ...... Hiss-"

In the corridor on the third floor, there was a sudden sound of gasping.

Next to the corpse, Li Guangxian was half-squatting to untie the deceased's robe to check for other external injuries on his body, and the guard behind him was responsible for acting as a curtain, so as not to be frightened when others saw the corpse.

Hearing the startled movement behind him, Li Guangxian naturally frowned, and turned back with Lu Xingjun, but saw that the guards behind him had all moved left and right, and they all looked back at the aisle.

And in the middle of the aisle, a poor man who looked quite young, looked straight at the corpse, with shock, stunned, dazed and other emotions in his eyes, his legs were obviously a little weak, if he hadn't been supported by Hua Anxian's nephew, I am afraid he would have knelt down on the spot.

“……”

There was silence in the hallway.

Night Terror Hall used to touch Cao Aning's back, but suddenly Cao Aning touched his back and patted his shoulder, which was really shocked, if he hadn't reacted quickly and turned Cao Aning's head to the corpse, he might have been exposed.

At this time, seeing Cao Aning bumping into Lord Yama at night, he was frightened, and everyone was puzzled, and the Night Terror Hall hurriedly played a round and helped Cao Aning to say politely:

"Don't worry, Uncle Li's corpse has been examined, although the bleeding from the seven orifices seems to be tragic, it is not poisoned......"

Cao Aning is known for his active brain, otherwise he wouldn't be alive now, after hearing the words of Night Terror, he recovered from the fright, stood up straight with his legs to support his body, and said with some embarrassment:

"Scared me, the seven orifices bleed, I thought I had been hit by some unknown strange poison......"

Cao Aning wanted to say a few vague words, and then honestly stood behind the Night Yama King as a passerby, but he didn't think about saying anything halfway, and found that the Night Yama touched his nose.

Although Cao Aning has not had much contact with the Night Terror Hall, he also knows that the Night Terror Hall stands like a judge and sits like a king of Hades, and the main thing is that he is as immobile as a mountain, and he has no small habits such as touching his nose, scratching his head, and picking out his crotch.

Seeing this abnormal action, Cao Aning suddenly understood the meaning - the Night Great Yama King was reminding him that he killed the person!

Since he has something to do with the Night Yama King, now that he is signaling, it is natural to ask him to find a way to wash the floor, suppress this matter, and don't make too much noise.

“……”

Cao Aning didn't dare to disobey orders, his brain was still overloaded with pig brains, his expression had suddenly turned solemn, he frowned and looked at the corpse carefully, and then walked to him and half-squatted down:

"This person ...... It shouldn't be simple. ”

"Oh?"

As soon as this remark came out, it really attracted everyone's attention.

Li Guangxian and Lu Xingjun showed doubts in their eyes, squatted in front of them and asked:

"Why?"

Cao Aning's way of reasoning is actually very simple - the person who can be solved by the Night Yama in secret, can he be simple?

Although Cao Aning had a clear heart, it was difficult to explain it like this, so he could only make a serious appearance at the moment, carefully examine the scars of the corpse, and want to find a breakthrough.

To tell the truth, the deceased could not see the slightest external injury on his body except for the bleeding of the seven orifices, and the intact corpse made Cao Aning wonder if it was killed by the Night Yama King, if so, this is estimated to be the most peaceful one that died under the Night Yama King, and it looks like he was not dead.

The Night Yama King didn't give any hints, and Cao Aning didn't know how to make this situation happen, and was about to make it up, but suddenly his eyes moved, he picked up the right hand of the corpse and looked at it, and then opened his arm to look at the ribs, and touched a scar that had been unclear for a long time.

Seeing this, Lee Kwang Xian asked:

"Is there a saying for this old wound?"

Cao Aning is the righteous son of Cao Gonggong, and he has seen no less martial arts moves than Dongfang Liren, and more importantly, he and Night Terror Hall are people from the same department, and even the position in charge is not too much, as long as it is a wanted criminal ten years ago, he remembers it more clearly than Night Terror.

After observing for a moment, Cao Aning frowned and said:

"How does this person look like a wanted criminal in the Southern Dynasty?"

When the skinning scholar committed the murder of an official and skinning the skin, he was not a grandmaster, and the north must have heard of it less, and Li Guangxian did not pay attention to this, but asked:

"How do you know?"

Cao Aning gestured to the marks on the corpse: "The bones of the index finger and middle finger are thicker, and the other three fingers are normal, and they should practice fingering instead of claw skills."

"This scar under the ribs is not a sword injury, but a hook claw, and the person who started it seems to be a silver hook horse face of the Southern Dynasty; Silver Hook Horse Face rarely misses, and the gangsters who fought and failed to capture are recorded by the Yamen.

"This person is good at martial arts, the old injuries are all in line with the characteristics, and the age and physiognomy are not much different from the records of the peeling scholar, I am ninety percent sure that it is him."

When Night Terror heard this, he felt that Cao Aning could live for so long, and there was indeed something about it, and there was a bit of approval in his eyes.

And Li Guangxian and others, in the face of such a detailed and accurate statement, had a sense of sudden realization in their hearts, but their eyes were still full of confusion, and even a little suspicious:

"Adults know so much...... Could it be the hidden stake placed in Yanjing by the Southern Dynasty? ”

Cao Aning was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand:

"There are so many strong martial arts seniors present, the meticulous work of the Southern Dynasty, where do they dare to come here to send them to death.

"In Xia Cao Aning, the father-in-law of Cao, who was under the Southern Dynasty, was exiled to the rivers and lakes because of the rescue of the abolished emperor, and then assassinated the empress and provoked King Wu and King Yan to rebel, and it was difficult to gain a foothold in the Southern Dynasty, so he defected to the north.

Li Guangxian and Lu Xingjun were really shocked when they heard this unbelievable exaggerated resume.

After all, the above four, take out any one, put it in Beiliang is considered a character, can collect the four ruthless people who are not dead, and the national teacher is afraid that he will have to give a seat to take a few more looks.

The two of them only heard this, and they understood that this little poor master was delegated to the grassroots level by the twelve, and he would definitely rise step by step in the future, and he couldn't afford to offend, so he got up and saluted immediately:

"I'll just say, Lord Cao looks a few years older than Hua Anxian's nephew, why is his eyesight so vicious, it turns out to be Cao Qian's high-ranking disciple, disrespectful and disrespectful...... Hua Anxian's nephew, you have to study hard, this is called being young and promising. ”

Night Terror Hall was very strange in his heart, and he bowed his hand at the moment:

"I didn't expect Lord Cao to be so powerful and disrespectful."

Cao Aning was saluted by the Night Yama King, and he felt that he was afraid that he was going to lose his life, but he couldn't accept it, so he could only wave his hand modestly.

In the room separated by a wall, Jingyanghou and Hua Junchen were listening, and at this time, Jingyanghou came out and frowned and asked:

"Deng Shu'an is a fugitive? What have you done? ”

Most of the people in the rivers and lakes of the Southern Dynasties who can't get along with the rivers and lakes will choose to establish themselves in the north, and as long as they wash their identities, they will naturally not be wanted by the government.

But the government is not wanted, it doesn't mean it's okay, like Cao Aning, a rebel assassin, who ran to Beiliang to take political refuge, will naturally be treated as a VIP, but the gangsters who rob homes and houses have no value to the imperial court.

And as the saying goes, 'dogs can't change to eat', most of the people who committed crimes in the Southern Dynasty will not wash their hands in the north, and there are many people who continue to do their old jobs.

For this reason, the gangsters who were wanted in the Southern Dynasty were still thieves in the Northern Liang, and they had no major meritorious contributions, so it was impossible to be exempted from crime and given the status of good citizens.

The most taboo thing for wealthy families to recruit customers is to recruit this kind of person, whose identity seems to be clean, but one day something happens, a string of cases are found, and a lot of shit is provoked.

Cao Aning heard the inquiry and knew that Jingyang Hou was afraid of being implicated by the doorman, so he responded:

"This person made a bandit village in Yanzhou back then, collected tolls, and was later exterminated by the government, killed the local county order in retaliation, and also skinned and hung outside the yamen, and the methods were very cruel and cruel.

"There is the handwriting of the Blue Dragon Society on the window, it should be that he also offended people in Beiliang, and he went to the Hou Ye's mansion to ask for shelter, and the enemy did not dare to offend the Hou Ye, so he spent money to invite the people of the Blue Dragon Society to assassinate him......"

When Jingyang Hou heard this, his face turned black - after all, this was his subordinate, if he really committed the crime at night and hid in his house during the day to seek shelter, he would become a harborer.

In case of a major case such as rebellion and treason with the enemy, it is possible for him to be sitting, so he hurriedly said:

"I don't know this person well, it's a martial artist who was introduced by someone, and I saw that he was good at martial arts, so I asked him to be a guard. Lord Cao went back and told Shen Gonggong that this person should be strictly investigated, and he must get to the bottom of it, but it is best not to make too much fanfare, this time it is indeed my unknown person, if he stabs him on the holy table, this ......"

Cao Aning hurriedly said: "I understand, Master Hou was also deceived, and several seniors present can testify......

A few people present have some energy in the court, since the death may be a wanted criminal in the Southern Dynasties, it is not a big deal, and they all began to discuss at the moment, how to suppress this matter as low-key as possible.

And soon, the brigade officials of the 12 institutes also ran over, and after explaining the ins and outs of the matter, the 12 institutes also understood the reason, and began to block Chunmanlou and carefully inspect the clues on the scene.

And the few people who drank the flower wine obviously didn't have the intention of getting together in another place, and they all said goodbye and went home.

As the first eyewitness, Night Terror Hall saw that Hua Junchen slapped the deceased, so naturally he didn't leave immediately, and was specially left by Hua Junchen to cooperate with the investigation of the Twelve Institutes, so as not to be investigated by the government, and finally the name of the mysterious assassin of the Blue Dragon Society was deducted on his head.

Night Terror Hall naturally had no objection to this, and after sending Hua Junchen to the carriage, he came to the backyard where the body was placed, watched the autopsy, and after a while, he had nothing to do, and then ran to the back of the Gong room and put water in the compartment.

Soon after, Cao Aning, who was in charge of checking the clues, also came to Gong's room, stood in the compartment next to him, and said in a low voice:

"Why are you here? You almost scared me to death just now......"

"Just go to the Imperial City to get something, do you have a way?"

"Don't be kidding, my lord, I patrol the streets every day, and I haven't been near the palace, so how can I take people into the imperial city. Well...... By the way, when the queen mother and the eldest princess of the dynasty, it is said that ......"

"I know this, needless to say."

"Oh? The adults are really familiar with the gossip. If you can't do it, then there is no other way, there are four fathers-in-law on duty in the imperial city at all times, all of whom have practiced the Mingshen diagram, and adults may not be able to touch it......"

Night Terror Hall knew that it was very difficult to snatch the Ming Dragon Diagram, so it was no longer difficult for Cao Aning, and instead asked:

"I heard that the National Teacher's Mansion is refining the elixir, do you have any information?"

"Father-in-law Yin and I mentioned it to me and know something. It is said that Beiliang studied Tianlangzhu and studied Yijiazi, and there was great progress in the past few years, but there were not enough snow lakes to start. This time when the Snow Lake Flower came back, the national teacher went to the Immortal Hidden Peak for retreat, and it is said that he was alchemizing there. ”

Cao Aning said this, paused slightly, and said:

"But I think there's something wrong with that."

"Oh?"

Night Terror Hall was slightly surprised when he heard this:

"Why?"

Cao Aning said: "Xianyin Peak is similar to the Minglong Pond of Great Wei, it is a place where the predecessors attained the Tao, where it is indeed possible to practice, but there is a problem with alchemy."

"I have assisted King Wu in practicing the 'Daliang Zhu' before, and I have experience. Beiliang's action this time is quite big, even if only half of the snow lake flowers are used, let alone ten catties, all kinds of ingredients must be piled up into a mountain, plus the stove, charcoal, helpers, living places, and the field of testing the medicinal properties with livestock and living people, the amount of work is very large, and it cannot be used at all on the top of the mountain, and it is impossible to support it with water alone.

"In the past, King Wu refined medicine, in order to conceal it, he put the location in the deep mountains and old forests, and invited the master to see the feng shui, but when he really put it into practice, he found that it was difficult. In order to transport medicinal materials back and forth, the palace does not know how much manpower and material resources have been spent, and the transportation is inconvenient, Zhang Jinglin needs something temporarily, and he has to break his leg next, and a delay is several days.

"These things are all pits that King Wu has stepped on before, how can the strategists of Beiliang be more powerful than King Wu, they shouldn't be able to think of these problems, so alchemy on a lonely peak that is inaccessible sounds very mysterious, like the style of a master outside the world, but I don't think it's feasible......"

Night Terror Hall felt that Cao Aning did have something, and asked:

"Where do you think it's best to refine potions?"

Cao Aning thought for a while and said: "Qianjimen has recently been in the Bishui Forest in the eastern suburbs to help the old lady repair the garden to celebrate her birthday, and the scale is quite large.

"The blue water forest is close to the river, and there is no shortage of water; It is surrounded by royal gardens, and there are no idlers to disturb it; It is dozens of miles away from the capital, and it is convenient to come and go, no matter what is missing, it can be found in the city at any time; It can also transport medicinal materials in the name of transporting stone and wood, which is hidden from people's eyes. In my opinion, refining medicine in the Bishui Forest is much more practical than running to the Immortal Hidden Peak where the birds don't, but this has to be verified by the adults themselves. ”

Night Terror Hall bowed slightly, feeling that this statement did make sense:

"What is that Han Master doing when he goes to Xianyin Peak at this time?"

Cao Aning thought for a while: "At best, Xiang Hanshi is using his body as bait and waiting for the rabbit, waiting for those who hear the news and have different intentions to come to the door to cause sabotage; At worst, it is that there is already a prescription medicine, and Xiang Hanshi has taken it, and now he is really in retreat. ”

“……”

When Night Terror Hall heard the latter sentence, he was secretly shocked in his heart, after all, Xiang Hanshi and Lu Taiqing were indistinguishable, and they were already among the top three figures in the world.

Just eat an elixir, if the 'Fu Lang Zhu' with no side effects really becomes, then even if you can really touch Fengguancheng's knees, become the strongest martial artist under the immortals, and directly be proud of the martial saints of the north and south.

Night Terror Hall was silent and asked:

"How long is this retreat?"

Cao Aning shrugged slightly: "How do I know, anyway, it's best for adults to pay attention, it's best for Xiang Hanshi to fail to retreat and die, if he goes out of the mountain smoothly, I'm afraid that adults will be more than lucky." And the adults have to solve Zhongsun Jin as soon as possible, Xiang Hanshi can eat it, and Zhongsun Jin can eat it. ”

After some communication, he felt that the situation was more urgent than he imagined, and after thinking about it for a while:

"Got it, keep looking. I've recently found a way to go to Bishui Forest. ”

Seeing this, Cao Aning turned around and walked out, thought about it and said:

"Lord Night, can you change the joint next time?"

Night Terror Hall originally wanted to say that this place was professional, but immediately remembered that Cao Aning was a eunuch, and it was really not suitable for the men's toilet joint, so he apologized at the moment:

"It's just convenient, I'll pay attention next time. When the world is peaceful, the court will not forget your merits, and if you have any needs, I will go and ask the court for rewards. ”

Cao Aning didn't say much, and after looking left and right a few times, he returned to the Chunman Building.

The Night Terror Hall came out a moment later, and first went to the pool in front of the well to wash his hands.

Boom~

Just halfway through the wash, the ears of the night terror hall suddenly moved, and I heard a breath moving in the back alley, which was very hidden.

When the target customer dies, it is impossible for the Green Dragon Club not to react.

The junction of the Night Terror Hall was in the back alley, and he didn't run down at the moment, and after a little probing, he flew and jumped lightly, silently behind another fence not far away.

In the dark alley behind, the man in black wearing a hat walked slowly with a small bookcase on his back, and when he heard the movement behind the wall, he immediately paused and put his hand on his waist.

The Night Terror Hall said calmly through the wall:

"Your Excellency is Hall Master Liu of Yanjing?"

The man in black outside the wall, who looked like an old man, heard the voice, lowered his guard, and responded hoarsely:

"Like everyone else, just call me Lao Liu. Your Excellency did it quickly, and before you saw the connector, you solved the goal first. ”

Night Terror Hall responded casually: "I was about to come to the joint, and when I found Deng Shu'an in the building, I killed him, and the mark of the Blue Dragon Society was engraved on the wall." ”

Lao Liu had already received the news, and at this time he took down the bookcase, took out a small bag containing a silver ticket from it, and threw it over the courtyard wall:

"The remuneration and the bounty for the good start are here, are you going to be dashing for a while, or are you going to continue to take on the job?"

The killer industry, after today, there may not be tomorrow, they all pay attention to the fact that there is wine today and drunk today, and they will eat, drink, prostitute and gamble normally until the money is spent.

Obviously, it didn't work for the night terror, so he threw the bag back again:

"I want the treasure knife in the palace, and I am short of silver, this is a deposit for the Blue Dragon Society."

Lao Liu nodded, and took back the remuneration he had just sent out:

"There are also gaps in the twelve shifts on duty, as long as there is an opportunity for the Son of Heaven to leave the palace, there are only two grand dukes on duty in the palace, and the defense is also lax than usual. As long as you give enough money, the green dragon will be able to help you enter, but whether you can succeed depends on your own ability. ”

Night Terror Hall knew that the Blue Dragon Society only recognized silver, and he didn't give enough, so he asked:

"Does Yanjing have any similar errands? It's best if people are nearby. ”

Lao Liu shook his head and said: "The grandmaster is not a cabbage, and there are fewer fugitives from the Southern Dynasty, how can they all be in Yanjing, and collect heads from you in groups."

"But if you want to earn money, I can't let you not take the job.

"There has been a group of people from Tianqi Dao recently, who are good at poison and secret weapons, who once killed the people of Jun Tianfu, and were rewarded by Yin Shicheng, a total of five people, one thousand taels. You help solve it, and Qinglong will give you a bounty in advance, and then go to Jun Tianfu to ask for a bounty. ”

Night Terror asked, "What are these five people?" ”

"Look at your style, you are a young and vigorous ranger, preaching morality. These five people are wanted by the government, and you can go to the yamen notice to turn over the case record. ”

Seeing this, Night Terror nodded and asked:

"Do you have any definite information?"

Lao Liu walked back with the bookcase on his back:

"There are a lot of masters in Yanjing, if you have accurate information, you can get this silver wheel? At present, I only know that I came from Tianqi Dao, a group of five people, and I should be active in the Jingshi realm recently, the purpose may be to find medicinal materials for refining strange poisons, and you have to find your own way to find out the rest. Remember to leave the name of the Blue Dragon Society, otherwise Jun Tianfu will not recognize it. ”

Night Terror didn't expect to be a killer to take on errands, and he had to be a detective to find someone, but the intelligence network he has formed at the moment is quite large, full of black, white and gray, it shouldn't be difficult to find it, and he didn't say anything at the moment, and quietly left the wall......
