Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Chance Encounter in the Night Alley

The man who came in the dark saw his mother-in-law being pulled and pounced on him with a roar.

Because Li Jiong is a monk, his ability to see in the dark is better than that of ordinary people, and when he saw this, he hurriedly pushed the woman who was paralyzed into the man's arms, and he took two steps back, and at the same time took out the fire fold from his arms and shook it.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm the fast catcher of the Immortal Division, and I have no malice."

Under the faint light of the fire, the husband and wife saw the soap coat and the saber on his waist clearly on Li Jiao's body, and their expressions immediately changed from surprise to joy.

The woman who regained her consciousness grabbed Li Qi's arm and said hurriedly.

"Poor master, my second girl is gone, you can help find it. Woo, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have let it..."

When Li Ji heard that someone was missing again, he hurriedly interrupted the woman's crying and asked.

"Sister-in-law, don't cry yet, tell me in detail what happened."

"Woooooo I cook at home... Woooooo

Syllable!

The man suddenly slapped the woman hard.

"Cry your mother! Tell the poor master how the second girl lost the ground. ”

The woman's crying stopped abruptly, and she covered her swollen face aggrievedly, and told the story inarticulately.

In fact, the woman didn't have anything to say, that is, the daughter went out to call the younger brother home for dinner, but the younger brother came back, but the daughter was gone, and it was only a cup of tea.

Not long after learning that the woman had just disappeared, Li Ji was immediately shocked, realizing that there was a great chance to find the missing woman and catch the trafficker on the spot.

"Sister-in-law, you go home first, lock the doors and windows and take care of your young son."

"Big brother, you look down the street from the other side of the alley, and if you find anything suspicious, you immediately shout loudly. My colleagues are coming this way, so tell them what is going on if you come across it. ”

After blowing the secret whistle to inform the colleagues of the Immortal Division to converge here, Li Ji said separately to the husband and wife.

Kyoto Castle is so large that since the founding of the country, it has been divided into five urban districts: southeast, northwest, and central by default. The disappearances recently investigated by the Immortal Division are spread across the other four districts except for Zhongcheng District, but due to the limited manpower, they are all concentrated in Xicheng District today.

But even if they are all in an urban area, the actual distance between them is very long, and the communication distance of the silent secret whistle is limited, and only a few people who are closer to Li Jiao's side can receive the information.

Hou Chunhua happened to be not far from here, and when he felt the vibration of the dark whistle in his arms, his face suddenly changed.

Someone is in distress or has made an important discovery!

Hurriedly took the sentry out of the spot and spun around, and when he was facing southeast, the sentry vibrated faster.

"It's a little plum!"

Hou Chunhua muttered, pulled out his waist knife, and used his spiritual power all over his body, rushing towards the southeast.

There was an intersection ahead, and there was no one on the left and right streets, so Hou Chunhua did not slow down, and was ready to use his body to quickly turn and rush over so as not to delay time.

When he was about to rush into the intersection, he heard the sound of horses' hooves and the sound of wheels crushing the road in advance, Hou Chunhua secretly screamed badly, and hurriedly jumped up with both feet.

But even so, he was still a step slower, and before Hou Chunhua's figure jumped to the highest point, the carriage had already driven out of the intersection, and Hou Chunhua's left ankle hit the roof of the carriage.

Bang!

Sawdust flew everywhere, a gap was broken in the roof of the carriage, and the carriage paused and stopped.

"Ahh

Hou Chunhua fell from mid-air with a scream and fell on the muddy ground on the other side of the carriage.

Hou Chunhua was caught off guard and fell to the ground, lying on the ground for a long time before recovering his strength. Struggling to sit up, he checked his left ankle first, but fortunately, he had used his spiritual power all over his body, and although it was a heart-rending pain, it did not hurt his muscles and bones.

"What the hell is it to scare Lao Tzu!"

Two figures jumped down from the carriage and followed the sound with a curse.

The two of them couldn't see their faces and clothes clearly, but they vaguely saw a figure sitting on the ground, and they kept screaming.

You can guess with your toes that this guy broke the canopy of the carriage, and startled the two of them.

The two didn't think much about how this person damaged the roof of the carriage, and rushed over and kicked Hou Chunhua alone.

"Damn it, a dog thing with no eyes, you dare to hit Grandpa's car, I'm afraid it's crooked."

One person grabbed Hou Chunhua's collar and scolded with a slap.

Then he shook his palm, which was numb, and said in surprise.

"Oops, it's pretty hard-skinned."

Hou Chunhua didn't expect these two people to do it without asking, and they were beaten a little dazed for a while. However, because of the spiritual power to protect the body, he was not injured.

When he woke up, he suddenly became angry, raised his hand and grabbed the man's wrist by the collar, and broke it in reverse.

"Hey... Oops, hey... It hurts, it hurts..."

Seeing this, the other person raised his fist and smashed it towards Hou Chunhua's face, Hou Chunhua did not dodge or dodge, grabbed the saber that fell to the ground and slapped the blade on the man's face first.

There was a crisp snap, and the man took off in the air and spun twice before falling to the ground, humming and chirping, unable to get up again.

Hou Chunhua stood up from the ground, but the man's wrist was still pinched in his hand, and as Hou Chunhua got up, the man could only squat down with a sigh.

A few red rays suddenly appeared in the darkness, and after the red rays shook a few times, a faint flame ignited, and it was Hou Chunhua who lit the fire.

With the help of the firelight, Hou Chunhua saw the appearance of the two clearly.

Both of them are in their twenties, and they are wearing gray cloth clothes with sallow faces as they pinch their wrists and cry out in pain. The other had a swarthy square face that had been knocked to the ground by the blade.

At this time, the two also saw the soap coat Hou Chunhua was wearing and the steel knife in his hand by the faint light of the fire, and they were so frightened that they forgot the pain, and their faces changed greatly.

"Ma Dan, dare to attack the official?"

Hou Chunhua bared his teeth and scolded.

"Poor... Difference... Bad guy... Misunderstanding, we are law-abiding citizens, where do we dare to... How dare you? It was too dark to see clearly. Poor master, you are angry, so small that you kowtow to pay compensation. ”

The man who was pinched by Hou Chunhua's wrist begged for mercy.

Hou Chunhua had a fierce face and knew in his heart that it was a misunderstanding, but after all, he had been kicked and slapped by two people, and he was unhappy, so he scared and scared them.

And this matter can be regarded as his own fault first, and he also kicked through other people's carriages.

"You two are lucky today, this catch has important things to do with you, and if there is a next time, I will definitely let you taste the taste of prison food. Hum! ”

After a warning, Hou Chunhua let go of the man's wrist, reached out and took out a handful of copper coins from his arms and threw them into his arms.

"This money will be used to repair the carriage, if it is not enough, I will come to the Yamen of the Immortal Division tomorrow to ask for it."

Hou Chunhua was worried about Li Jiao's side, and he no longer entangled with the two, and turned around and left after throwing down the copper coin.

As for the act of losing money, he was completely worried that Rong Fei would find his own account after he found out.

Where are more than a dozen copper coins enough to repair the holes in the carriage, but Hou Chunhua expected that the two of them would not dare to go to the Immortal Division to ask for it.

Hou Chunhua left in a hurry, and the two helped each other to get up and spit in the direction of Hou Chunhua's departure.

"Phew! Something, isn't it just a green skin? ”

After venting their frustration, the two were just about to climb back into the carriage, when a shout came from the street corner on the left.

"Who's ahead? Why stop here at such a late hour? ”

As soon as the words fell, a little firelight lit up, Gu Fengxiao held a knife in one hand and a fire fold in the other, walked to a distance of four or five steps in front of the two and stopped.

Seeing that Gu Fengxiao was wearing soap clothes, the two of them complained bitterly in their hearts, and secretly said that they had hit some evil. On weekdays, I can't see a single quick servant in such a poor place for ten days and half a month, but tonight I actually bumped into two in a row.

Although he was scared in his heart, he still bowed down and replied with a smiling face.

"If you go back to the chamaster, there was something wrong with the wheel just now, but now it has been repaired, so I will leave immediately."

"Well, it's fine. It's getting late, so don't stay too much on the street to avoid encountering bad guys. ”

Gu Fengxiao was also anxious to join Li Xiang, and was leaving after hearing a word of advice, but the soles of his feet were smacked.

Looking down by the light of the fire, there was a bronze medal lying among a few pieces of wood.

The bronze medal is engraved with the three characters of the Immortal Division.

Gu Fengxiao's heart tightened, and the steel knife in his hand was raised and slashed towards the person who was closer, and at the same time, the soles of his feet kicked out and raised a cloud of dust to envelop the other person.

"The poor master is merciful, we are good people."

Contrary to Gu Fengxiao's expectations, the two of them had no intention of resisting at all, the steel knife slashed directly at the man, who was so frightened that he fell to his knees, and the other person was screaming while rubbing his eyes that were lost in dust.

After Gu Fengxiao retracted the knife, he put the blade on the shoulder of the kneeling person, kicked up the waist card of the Immortal Hunting Division on the ground with a slight touch of his foot, grabbed it in his hand, and then handed the waist card to the man's eyes and asked sharply.

"Good people! Hmph, how do you explain this? ”

"Ahh

The man looked at the waist card in front of him and was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

"Oh oh, it should have been dropped by some of the poor masters just now. Which bad master fell from the sky and kicked through the carriage, and then accidentally fell, it should have fallen at that time. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, which bad master said that the chicken died first when he left."

Another person followed suit.

Gu Fengxiao motioned for the two of them not to move, and then jumped up and looked towards the roof of the carriage, and sure enough, he saw a hole.

After the figure fell, Gu Fengxiao asked again.

"What does that official look like? Where are we going? ”

"Hmm... He looks like he is in his forties, with goat's whiskers on his chin, triangular eyes, and hanging eyebrows. I went in that direction, and it looked like I was in a hurry. ”

One person pointed to the direction in which Hou Chunhua left.

That direction is the area that Li Xiang is responsible for, and what this person is depicting should be Hou Chunhua.

After checking all this information, Gu Fengxiao no longer doubted the words of the two, took Hou Chunhua's left waist card into his pocket, arched his hand towards the two and turned around and walked away.

Call!

After the footsteps were far away, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn, the feng shui is not right tonight, so I quickly handed over the goods and went home to sleep.

The two of them hurriedly climbed into the carriage and were about to drive their horses forward, when the sound of their clothes breaking through the air sounded overhead.

Suddenly, when he looked up, he saw a figure like a big bird passing overhead and finally landing in front of the carriage.

A faint fire lit up in the darkness, illuminating the faces of the people who fell, and it was Gu Fengxiao who had just left.

Gu Fengxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the two of them and asked in a deep voice.

"Why don't you light lanterns when driving in the dark?"
