Chapter 69: Who Are You?
In the afternoon, the innkeeper brought good news that the burial place of Du County's family had been found, but the person from the county government had one condition and wanted to see Xu Ping.
"Okay, no problem, you promise him, I'll go see him!" Xu Ping pondered for a moment and quickly made a decision.
returned to the guest room and told Du Jia that Du Jia wanted to follow, but was directly rejected by Xu Ping.
"You stay at the inn first, and wait for me to bring the news back!"
I don't know who the person to meet is, Xu Ping can't put Du Jia in danger. If it was just Xu Ping alone, even if he was besieged by several masters, he would still have a chance to escape, but with Du Jia by his side, not only would the two of them not be able to escape, but they might also face greater danger.
"The main purpose of our visit to the county seat this time is to find the burial place of your parents. Now that there is news, I believe it will be found soon, so why rush it! ”
When the innkeeper took Xu Ping to meet with the person from the county office, the other party was a little disappointed and didn't see the person he wanted to see.
"Who are you from Master Du?"
Xu Ping replied: "I am Du Xianling's distant nephew. ”
"You lie, Lord Du doesn't have a nephew like you, he only has a younger sister, and he married Guyuan City back then."
"Cousins don't count?"
"Cousin nephew...... Where do you say? Master Du's family has been passed down from one generation to another for four generations, where did he come from as a cousin? ”
"Ah, cousin, it's cousin!"
Xu Ping felt a little unlucky, and met a person who was very familiar with the Du family's genealogy, and he knew that this was the case, so he should have gone to Du Jia to ask before coming, what other relatives did she have in her hometown?
"That's even more wrong, as far as I know, Lord Du doesn't have a cousin, and your accent is not right, you are clearly a local, and Du Countyling's sister-in-law and uncle's family are not local, so who are you? Why do you want to pretend to be Lord Du's nephew? ”
"Ahh Xu Ping was stunned directly, he couldn't imagine that this old man in front of him was so cunning, he just asked a few words, and soon saw his flaws.
"Since you are not Lord Du's nephew, I probably know your origin, were you sent by Miss?"
Xu Ping couldn't hide it from the other party, so he had to answer truthfully: "Yes, I was sent by Miss Du!" ”
"Great, I know Miss is still alive, where is she? How are you doing now? ”
"Miss Du is okay, she is not here now, I am here just to inquire about where Du Xianling is buried, and then she will come to the grave of her parents in person."
Xu Ping still didn't say where Du Jia was, after all, people's hearts were separated from their stomachs, at this time and that time, when Du Xianling was still there, many people would slap her and flatter her, but Du Xianling was already regarded as a rebellion, and the family was slaughtered. Imagine that there are still a few people who still remember Du County's order, and it would be very good if they didn't fall into the well, so Xu Ping didn't expect anyone to repay the favor.
The other party saw that Xu Ping was so cautious, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "I was originally the head catcher in Qinan County, and people called me Lao Cangtou, but then I was old and couldn't do it to catch heads, Lord Du saw that I had no children and no daughters, so he took me in to do some chores in the backyard of the county government. When I came back the next morning, I found that Mrs. Du's family had been killed, and only the eldest lady was nowhere to be found. Afterwards, the bodies of Lord Du's family were all buried by me. ”
"Cang Zhutou, I'm here to thank you for Miss Du!" No matter whether the other party is good or bad, just because the other party can find someone to bury Du Xianling's family, it is worth Xu Ping's thanks.
"No thanks, this is what I should do!" Lao Cangtou waved his hand, "Since you were sent by Miss, then you can come with me, and I will take you to the burial place of Master Du's family." ”
Lao Cangtou led the way in front, Xu Ping followed slowly behind, and the two of them walked in the direction of the mass grave.
"When I was buried, the rebels kept watching, and it was inconvenient for me to find a feng shui treasure for Lord Du, so I had to pull the bodies of Lord Du's family to the cemetery."
"Cang Catcher, I understand!"
Xu Ping knew the situation at that time, if someone did something out of the ordinary, they might be killed by the rebels.
Lao Cangtou was old, and his body seemed to have been injured, so he walked very slowly, and when Xu Ping arrived at the cemetery, it was already night, and it was already completely dark at this time, and there was a thick fog around the cemetery, and the visibility was very low, and there was almost nothing to see from three meters away.
Although Lao Cangtou has been showing weakness, saying that he buried Du County's family just to repay his kindness, but Xu Ping never fully believed his words, and when he met Lao Cangtou, Xu Ping saw at a glance that Lao Cangtou's skills were good, although he was not a first-class master, but he was stronger than other ordinary martial artists.
Xu Ping was curious, why did a second-rate martial artist pretend to look like an old dragon bell and walk so slowly?
When he saw that the cemetery was full of fog, Xu Ping immediately became vigilant and quietly took the flying sword in his hand.
"Cangzhutou, is it almost there?"
"Come on, it's ahead!"
Lao Cangtou pushed and shoved several times with this sentence, and he didn't reach his destination for a long time, which made Xu Ping even more suspicious of Lao Cangtou's true intentions, not to help him find Du County's cemetery at all, but to deliberately lead him to meet a certain person.
Xu Ping stopped, not wanting to continue going around in circles with Lao Cangtou, and wanted to ask what was the purpose of bringing him here?
"It's almost there, why don't you leave?"
Lao Cangtou saw Xu Ping stop and hurriedly urged.
"Cang Zhutou, if you have anything to say, I don't believe that when burying the corpse, you have to pull the corpse so far!"
Lao Cangtou was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "I didn't expect you to be so vigilant, but don't worry, I won't do anything to you, it's an acquaintance of yours who wants to look for you." ”
"Acquaintances? Who is it? ”
In Qinan County, is there anyone he knows?
I am afraid that there are only enemies, and there are no acquaintances.
Thinking of this, Xu Ping said coldly: "Cang Zhutou, if you bring me here to meet acquaintances, then there is no need, I have no acquaintances in the county, I just want to find the grave of Du Xianling's family, and I will leave as soon as possible after I find it!" ”
"Don't be in such a hurry, you're going to see you soon, if you're not satisfied after seeing it, it's never too late to leave!"
"I can't leave if I want to!" Xu Ping didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, and was about to step forward to solve Lao Cangtou with a punch, when suddenly he found that there were seven or eight more people around Lao Cangtou.
Although the fog in the cemetery was thick and the visibility was very low, he could still clearly see that these seven or eight people were all dressed in black robes, wearing hats, covering most of their faces, standing motionless beside the old cangtou, looking very secretive.
"Who are you?" Even if there were seven or eight helpers by Lao Cangtou's side, Xu Ping didn't feel afraid, as long as these people were not grandmasters, he could leave boldly with confidence.
