Ye Suiyun panicked, no matter whether it was a dead end or not, he was looking for hidden and messy alleys to drill, and when he ran to a high wall, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and there was no footsteps chasing behind him, so he let go of his heart, leaned against the wall and gasped for breath, thinking that it was safe for the time being, and the doubts in his heart followed. Tonight's events are too strange to be coincidental, but it seems to have been designed in advance, waiting for you to enter the urn. The person who reported the crime must have been the initiator of the incident, so why did he frame himself? And can you get the timing so accurately? On the way here, I didn't talk to anyone, how did this person know that he had arrived in Yangzhou? If he hadn't entered that gate and left, wouldn't he have worked in vain? Thinking about it again, such a person must be ruthless, even if he fails to frame himself this time, he will definitely look for the next opportunity, and he may kill more people at that time, if so, then let him succeed once, and it is good to die less.

Ye Suiyun's mind was full of questions, and the tense consciousness in his cranky thoughts relaxed, and he suddenly felt exhausted. Thinking that he hadn't rested for a long time all the way, he turned his head to look at the eaves of the wall behind him, guessing that it must be a big house, so he found an empty house and slept first.

As soon as I passed the wall, I found that this was the backyard of a large attic, and I vaguely heard the noisy and frolicking voices coming from the main courtyard, and listened carefully, Ye Suiyun couldn't help but smile bitterly: "No wonder it is still so lively at this time, it turns out to be a brothel in Qinglou, I have seen it in Jinshui Town last time, and this kind of place is still rare." When he was about to leave, he hesitated, he didn't know what was going on outside, maybe the lawless was chasing him everywhere, but this was a good hiding place, and others would never have imagined that he was hiding in such a place.

Thinking of this, Ye Suiyun decided to find a room where no one was there and rest for one night. He gently climbed to the second floor of the attic and thought secretly: "It is said that Yangzhou is the hometown of fireworks, and it is really good, the scale of this green building is much larger than that of Jinshui Town, and there are even so many rooms." When I came to an empty room with a black light, I carefully pushed the door in, and made sure that there was no one in the room, so I found a yellow wooden chair and sat down cross-legged to recuperate. For Ye Suiyun now, the effects of meditation and sleeping are almost the same. And when he thought of the people who usually slept on this bed, he didn't want to lie down.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, there was a burst of laughter from the two side rooms, and it was two men and a few women accompanying him drinking and laughing. I only heard one of the men say: "Brother Ouyang, the little brother really admires you sincerely, even the women of Qixiufang are easy to get started, come and come, do this cup." After speaking, he laughed, and his voice was full of **.

Ye Suiyun came to his senses, but he felt that the voice was quite familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while. scolded himself: "What's the matter lately, I can't remember anything?" ”

was thinking hard, but the 'Brother Ouyang' gave an answer, so he listened to him: "Brother Jing has won the award, this woman, no matter how pure and fierce she is on the surface, cold as frost, in fact, she is not deliberately posturing, where in this world is there a woman who does not have a spring heart?" After saying that, the two laughed in unison, mixed with the laughter of several escort women, which was not obscene.

Ye Suiyun's heart lit up: "Yes, it's that flower thief 'Jing', who once wanted to kidnap Tang Xiao in Jinshui Xiyanglin, this guy is not a good thing." ”

Jing continued: "In this way, the junior brother will have to worry about Brother Ouyang a lot. ”

Brother Ouyang said: "It's easy to say, but Xiao Ke is curious, why did Brother Jing insist on getting this thing." ”

Jing Hui said: "Don't hide it from the elder brother, the younger brother is just to make a name for himself." Now in the rivers and lakes, when it comes to the name of the world's first thief, the older generation is Liu Gongzi and 'Changfeng Wanli' Wei Qiwu, it is not easy to say who is high and who is low, but these two have been fighting openly and secretly for many years. As soon as Ye Suiyun heard about Wei Qiwu, he came to his senses.

I only heard Brother Ouyang reply: "Yes, I have heard a little about it, these two people's light skills do not know how to transcend the sainthood, and the theft skills are refined." It's just that Liu Gongzi is stealing for his own selfish interests, while Wei Qiwu is robbing the rich and helping the poor. It's still a little better. ”

Jing said: "Not to mention them, there is a way to be a talented person from the country, and the new generation of thieves is a disciple of Wei Qiwu, and the people in the rivers and lakes call the 'jade-faced flying fox' Dai Shi and the district." ”

Brother Ouyang hurriedly complimented: "That's nature, with Brother Jing's ability, it's naturally better than that." It's just that most of what Brother Jing steals is just people, and what he does is the most enviable stealing jade and stealing incense that our men envy. Ha ha... Speaking of pride, there was another burst of laughter.

Ye Suiyun frowned when he heard this, although he didn't understand it very well, but he also knew that what these two guys said was not a good thing, but the evil deeds of bad people, how could it be bad for other people's reputations Ye Suiyun didn't know how to think about it.

Jing continued: "According to the law, the junior brother has always wanted to find a chance to compete with that generation of Shi, otherwise the name of this new god thief is afraid that others will not accept it, but there is no good time. Ye Suiyun thought to himself that this person was really shameless, and when he said this, it seemed that he was already a thief.

Hearing Jingjing, he paused, and then said: "No, the opportunity will come, Shi has also arrived in Yangzhou in this era, and the younger brother has issued a war letter to her, making an appointment with who can steal this thing first, and the other is willing to accept defeat." And she agreed. ”

Brother Ouyang said: "I see, brother, don't worry, it's on me, but will it be victorious?" Jing hurriedly continued: "The so-called soldiers are not tired of cheating, as long as the goal is achieved, there is nothing to do." ”

Brother Ouyang agreed: "What you said is, I don't know what the lottery is for your bet?" Jing's voice said with a deep sense of pride: "It is the winner who makes a request, and the loser must do it." ”

"Oh?" Brother Ouyang was curious: "If you win, what will you ask for?" ”

Jing Yan smiled: "Dai Shi is a stunning woman, and it will be natural when the time comes... Before the words were finished, the two laughed again, and they were very proud. Mixed with the words of several women's 'how bad are you', it made a mess.

Ye Suiyun's anger gradually rose, listening to their mouths talking about Dai Shi uncleanly, he just wanted to rush out and kill these two obscene billets with one slap, but after thinking about it, he was also in a worrying situation now, and it was not appropriate to expose it, so he sat down patiently and thought secretly: "I don't know what this guy is talking about?" I can't let him get it before Dai Shi. I'll teach him a good lesson when I have the chance. At this time, the words that came from there were becoming more and more unbearable, Ye Suiyun calmed down, slowly ran the true qi in his body, and after a while, he entered the realm of selflessness, and the warbler Yanyan in his ears gradually disappeared.

When I opened my eyes again, the sky was already bright, and compared to last night's loud voice, the entire Qinglou was already much quieter at this time. Ye Suiyun opened the window and looked, and when he saw that there was no one left and right, he quickly dodged and turned out, and came to the alley last night. When he walked out of the alley, he couldn't help but feel refreshed. I saw that the bustling street was full of traffic, and the pedestrians were shoulder-to-shoulder, so it was not lively. As far as the eye can see, young men in long robes, some of them holding fans, have the style of a literati and elegant scholars, talking from time to time, chic and free. And the peach and plum woman Ayayan Cuiyi, full of laughter and charming. Vendors and small traders, or carrying loads of goods, or pushing wheelbarrows, are hawking along the street, and the green willow branches by the moat are swaying in the wind, and the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River is everywhere, which makes people feel very comfortable. Ye Suiyun arrived in Yangzhou City last night at the beginning of the shift, and it was only at this time that he really appreciated that the atmosphere of the richest metropolis in the Tang Dynasty was so prosperous and peaceful, which made him feel refreshed.

Before he took two steps, Ye Suiyun's good mood was gone, and he saw that wanted notices with his portraits had been posted everywhere in the streets and alleys, and there were one every few dozen steps. Ye Suiyun hurriedly lowered his head and turned into the alley closest to him, only picking up many bends to walk, and waited for the lively street market behind him to get farther and farther away, until he couldn't hear it, and then stopped. I thought that this line of lawlessness was really ruthless, and I pasted my portrait all over the street overnight, not to mention investigating the real culprit, even if I walked around casually, I am afraid that it will not be possible. Seeing that there was also a piece of his own wanted warrant attached here, my heart was troubled for a while, and I couldn't decide what to do.

Just when Ye Suiyun had no owner, he suddenly heard a scolding voice from across the street: "You are nonsense, our gang leader is not a murderer." A little beggar of fifteen or sixteen years old blushed and glared at the three adult beggars in front of him. The eldest beggar pointed to the notice next to him and said, "The government has even posted the notice, can it be fake?" Fortunately, a few of our brothers did not join the beggar gang, otherwise they would be embarrassed. ”

Ye Suiyun felt slightly strange: "Naturally, they are talking about me, but aren't all beggars disciples of the beggar gang?" Although Ye Suiyun is the leader of the gang, he really knows very little about the rules of the beggar gang, otherwise there would be no jokes like Tiandu Town banqueting Chen Zhong and Guo Qing. Although people say that the beggar gang has disciples all over the world, in fact, not all of them are called Huazi are members of the beggar gang. In addition to the first batch of people when Yin Tianci created the gang, the subsequent people who want to join must be recommended by someone, and then hold a gang initiation ceremony to officially become a gang member. The initiation ceremony is also different according to the situation of the rudder division in different places, some once a year, and some multiple times a year. Often, a large number of new disciples are registered at each time. And the people who join are not all real beggars, but they may also be admirers of the beggar gang or heroes who want to learn martial arts. And the four people in front of him, obviously the little beggar was a disciple of the beggar gang, while the other three were just ordinary evil beggars.

I only heard the little beggar say angrily: "Let go of your mother's fart, our gang leader is a big hero, and he will never do such evil things, and the three of you are not worthy of lifting shoes for my gang leader!" ”

The old beggar said angrily: "You kid is so bold that you dare to scold your grandfather and beat him." The three of them immediately punched and kicked, the little beggar was weak and couldn't resist, holding his head to suffer the other party's old fist, but his mouth still kept scolding: "Three dog things, there is a kind of killing grandpa, grandpa is not afraid of you." ”

When the three of them heard this, they became even more angry, and the heavier their hands became, seeing that the little beggar was beaten and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, Ye Suiyun couldn't help but rush over and pull the three of them away, and suddenly saw a few officials coming from the street, so he had to shrink back again. When a few officials approached, when they saw the situation, they scolded with a smile: "Okay, okay, Lao Yuan, let's kill people again." "Feelings: These people know the old beggar.

When the old beggar surnamed Yuan saw that an official had come forward, he had to stop and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Lord Liu, this little cub is ruthless, and he has to teach a lesson hard." "Actually, the other party is just a bureaucracy, but the old beggar surnamed Yuan calls this kind of official person an adult to show affection, no matter what kind of official position it is.

Liu Zhu said quickly: "Today, the order from above says that there is a felony surnamed Ye who is on the run, you should also watch it, and notify the government immediately if there is any news." The three old beggars nodded hurriedly and said, "Don't worry, my lord, we naturally don't dare to slack off." Liu Zhu waved his hand quickly, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go, don't make trouble." After saying that, he left with several other officials.

The old beggar didn't dare to do it again, and said fiercely: "Little cub, be honest in the future." He spat on the ground and walked away with his two accomplices in the direction from which the servants had come. Suddenly the whole street fell silent, except for the little beggar who struggled to sit up slowly, apparently not lightly beaten.

Ye Suiyun was about to go over to help him up, when he suddenly saw the little beggar stand up, slowly rubbed in front of the billboard, looked left and right, and then tore off the wanted paper on it, and put the group bar into his arms, muttering: "Say that we help the master kill people and let you fart." Then he limped back to his position and sat down as if nothing had happened. Ye Suiyun looked funny, walked over and said, "It's illegal for you to do this." ”

The little beggar was caught, looked at Ye Suiyun with a panicked face, and said stiffly: "What... What is the offense? I didn't do anything. ”

Ye Suiyun squatted down and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I won't denounce you." He looked at the direction in which the three beggars had left, and asked, "Those guys bullied you like this, aren't you afraid that the beggars will help you find the field?" ”

The little beggar said proudly: "Hmph, I don't want others to help, when I learn the skills one day, I will go back by myself and find someone to be a hero." ”

"Good job" Ye Suiyun stretched out his thumb and praised: "Little brother, you have backbone." After asking, I learned that the old beggar was called Yuanxiangren, and he was a well-known evil beggar in Yangzhou City, and he would do anything to abduct and cheat, and this little beggar was not bullied once or twice.

Ye Suiyun said: "Do you know that it is illegal to tear down the arrest notice of the government, and you are too bold." ”

The little beggar lowered his head, knowing that his actions just now couldn't hide the person in front of him, so he couldn't help but be silent, and raised his head half-loudly and said: "We help the master with a chivalrous heart, who doesn't know it now?" The government's slander that he killed 57 lives is nonsense, and I must not believe it, so I ripped off this notice, no one instructed me to do this, I did it myself, if you want to sue, you can sue, I am not afraid. ”

Ye Suiyun arched his hand, and said with a smile: "Thank you, little brother, you and I have never met, but we praise you like this, Ye Suiyun really deserves it, how dare you be." ”

The little beggar's eyes widened, he looked at Ye Suiyun in disbelief, and stammered, "You... You.. You.. Ye Suiyun pulled out the 'dog beating stick' behind him, held it in front of him and said, "Do you know this?" ”

When the little beggar saw this thing at first glance, he said incoherently: "You are helping. . . Help.. Help.. Ye Suiyun hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "Don't help, but I need you to do me a favor." ”

The little beggar finally regained his consciousness at this time, fell to his knees in surprise, leaned over and bowed, and said excitedly: "Helper, it's your old man who has arrived." ”

Ye Suiyun hurriedly helped him up and said, "What old man, I'm not a few years older than you." That's when you recognized me, and it seems that the wanted notice doesn't look like it's good, so I'm relieved. He couldn't help laughing, and his heart couldn't help but be moved, this young man was so excited, which showed that he had great respect and admiration for himself in his heart.

The little beggar sat up and said, "Helper, they say that you kill people, I absolutely don't believe it, the dogs of the government have always been like this, and if you can't catch the murderer, you rely on others." Ye Suiyun also sat down and thought: "Don't blame them, this time the matter is very strange, I have to find out the matter as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to clear the suspicion." ”

Asked about the origin of this young beggar, it turned out that his name was Ah Bu, fifteen years old this year, a disciple of the Yangzhou rudder, no bag level, usually only responsible for finding out some gossip. A Bu said: "What do you want me to do, even if I am told, I don't care if I give up this life." ”

Ye Suiyun pretended to be scared and said, "You are so powerful, what do I dare you do?" Just change your clothes with me. Ah Bu was stunned, not understanding what he meant.

Ye Suiyun put away his smile and said: "If I want to stay here to find out the murderer, I must not reveal my identity, so I need your clothes to disguise it, as for you... As he spoke, he handed the dog beating stick to Abudao: "You change into my clothes, take this thing and rush to Junshan, find Brother Lin Cheng, and tell him that I must rush back before the ninth day of October, there will be a lot of people, don't send someone to find me, otherwise it will be easy to be exposed." In fact, Ye Suiyun was mainly afraid that his grandmother would worry, and he thought that Lin Cheng would secretly inform the old man.

Ah Bu then understood, and hurriedly took off the ragged and dirty coat on his body and handed it to Ye Suiyun, and then put on the clothes he had changed, and couldn't help asking, "What if you can't go back?" ”

Ye Suiyun smiled bitterly: "If I can't go back in time before the eighth day of the new year, I don't have to wait, and I can't be the leader of the beggar gang anymore with my guilt." After speaking, he patted Ah Bu's shoulder and said, "You have to be careful all the way." Ah Bu nodded vigorously, Ye Suiyun smiled in encouragement, looked around, turned around and walked into the alley.

Ah Bu was stunned for a moment, and immediately wrapped the dog beating stick tightly with a strip of cloth for several layers, tied it to his back, and walked towards the city gate. He was nervous and excited at this moment, because he knew how important his task was, and he was working hard for the helper, and his heart was full of pride.

Ye Suiyun walked on the road, saw a small restaurant, his heart moved, came to the back door of the restaurant, found a soot to put on his face, and then spread his hair down, rubbed it with soil, and the whole person suddenly became a typical beggar appearance that is not uncommon in the streets and alleys. When you look at the puddle, you can't even recognize yourself, which is reassuring. The fly in the ointment is that this Ah Bu's clothes exude bursts of unpleasant smell from time to time, only making Ye Suiyun frown, but after thinking about it, so that others are more reluctant to approach him, and it is even more difficult to be recognized, although this smell is pungent but it is excellent protection, so my heart is wide, and I don't hate this smell very much.

Walking to the edge of a bustling city, Ye Suiyun found a place to sit down, let the warm sunlight shine on his body, looked at the wanted notice posted on the opposite side in a daze, and began to quietly recall what had happened in the past two days. Thinking of the fifty-seven lives that died tragically, Ye Suiyun still couldn't stop being shocked, who could do such a ruthless move, was it just to frame himself? How could this man be so accurate? And why did he deal with himself? It stands to reason that it has only been three months since he escaped from the military prison, who can he offend? One question after another followed. Let his mind be confused for a while, and he can't figure it out. One of the things that scared him the most was to recall the appearance of Dai Shi last night, could all this have something to do with Dai Shi? Thinking of this, Ye Suiyun kept shaking his head, and said a few words in his heart. Dai Shi's master, Wei Qiwu, has a close relationship with the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, and will never be so ruthless. Besides, she is a young girl, let alone killing, I am afraid that she may not dare to kill chickens.

While pondering, Ye Suiyun suddenly felt that the wind next to him was different, and he was trying to dodge, but he noticed that this attack did not contain strength, and in an instant, his mind moved, pretending not to know, not dodging or dodging, and was kicked in the shoulder with a snap, Ye Suiyun fell down, turned his head and looked, and the three fierce officials shouted: "Go away from the little ones who want to eat, get out of the way." ”

Ye Suiyun pretended to be submissive, his face was panicked, he stood up and moved to the side. Only then did the three officials bang the gong and leave, shouting: "The envoy of the Haoqi Alliance will enter the city, and the idle people will make way." Suddenly, the bustling pedestrians avoided both sides of the road.

At this time, an old man next to him leaned his back and said to Ye Suiyun: "Little brother is fine." These officials are fierce bullies, and they are so fierce to the common people on weekdays, let alone you. ”

Ye Suiyun turned his head to look at the old man and said, "I'm fine, dare to ask the old man, who is this envoy of the Haoqi Alliance, and why is it so pompous." ”

The old man said: "This Haoqi Alliance is one of the biggest forces in the rivers and lakes now, and it is only because the influence of the Valley of the Wicked was too great back then, so the imperial court did the backstage to convene all the sects and factions on the rivers and lakes to form the Haoqi Alliance, in order to curb the Valley of the Wicked." Therefore, the people of Haoqi Alliance have the government to receive them wherever they go. Recently, I heard that the Valley of the Wicked is recruiting, and it is ready to move. Naturally, the Haoqi Alliance also began to prepare supplies, and it seemed that this time there was going to be a fierce battle between the two sides. Ye Suiyun remembered that Wei Qiwu had said that if these two forces were not chaotic, if the war started, I was afraid that the entire martial arts would be chaotic.

As soon as the old man finished speaking, a team of officials escorted a velvet sedan chair to the street. A man in his fifties, who looked like an obese official, came down from inside, and whispered something to his entourage. Seeing this, the old man nodded and said, "Even the prefect is here, this person does have face, and he is worthy of being a heroic seven stars." Ye Suiyun couldn't help but ask, "What are the Seven Stars of Haoqi?" Who is Keren? ”

The old man looked at him and said, "You little beggar is very curious, even if you ask the right person, I still know a thing or two about this martial arts." Haoqi Seven Stars is said to be the seven principals in the Haoqi Alliance, and they are also the seven people with the highest martial arts, and this person is one of them. It is even rumored that this little girl is the number one master of the Haoqi Alliance, surpassing the alliance leader Xie Yuan. I don't know if it's true or not. It's hard to believe that such a young girl in her twenties is unbelievable. "I can't stop talking.

Ye Suiyunqi said: "You are the number one master in your twenties? ”

The old man lit a dry cigarette and said, "That's right, but according to the old man, I am afraid that there is this statement because she is a personal disciple of the Sword Saint." Ye Suiyun's mind perked up, and he felt very interesting, and thought: "In this way, this person can be regarded as his senior sister." ”

The old man didn't notice the change in Ye Suiyun's expression, and continued: "If you want to talk about age, this is not very old, but because she is strong in martial arts and has a high seniority, people don't compare her with the younger generation today. However, in my opinion, even if the competition is really opened, the few young masters who have recently emerged in the martial arts may really not be able to compare to her. ”

Ye Suiyun was interested and asked, "Who is the old man talking about?" ”

The old man said: "Leng Xiaoxiao of Tiance Mansion, Qi Yufeng of Wanhua Valley, Yan Wuwu of the Pure Yang Sect, Xiao Ning'er of Qixiufang, Lu Qinfeng of Penglai Island, Tang Wuying of the Tang Sect, Dao Luan of the Shaolin Sect, etc., are all outstanding, but if they are compared with the lovely people, they are obviously still a little worse." ”

Ye Suiyun thought that most of them were his old friends, but he didn't know who Lu Qinfeng, Tang Wuying, and what other 'troublemakers' were.

I heard the old man continue: "If you want to say that you are similar in age to a person, I am afraid that there is only the new beggar gang leader Ye Suiyun today." ”
