Chapter 5: The Assassination of Kaifeng (4)
Desert smiled bitterly, he used to handle the case in the official yamen, and he was not a person in the martial arts, so he didn't care about the last point, but he also had to admit that the first four points that Nangong Ling said were indeed reasonable, so he didn't speak anymore, just took Nangong Ling's golden medicine, and carefully wrapped Zhu Wenyu's arm injury. In fact, Zhu Wenyu has the internal strength of health preservation, and the internal force is not damaged, such a small injury outside the body, it doesn't matter if he doesn't wrap it, but he also knows that this is the kindness of the two brothers, so he sat obediently and let the desert wrap up, and went to sleep after finishing the desert, Zhu Wenyu and Nangong Ling sat cross-legged on the bed to breathe, and walked together for many days, the desert already knew the habits of the two, and knew that the two of them were not like their own foreign kung fu that they had practiced from fighting. The two of them breathed for a while, and then they slept peacefully.
On the second day, as soon as the sky was hazy, Zhu Wenyu got up, only to feel energetic, looked at the cloth bandaged on his left arm, moved, felt nothing unusual, untied the cloth, only to see that the wound left only a black hard scar, Zhu Wenyu carefully peeled off the scar, below is the flesh-red wound that has healed, the tender red flesh skin is a little white, but there is no slightest pain, I know that it is all good, and I secretly sigh that this health recipe is still so wonderful, it seems that it will only take two more days, and there will be no trace left, Even now, it has not hindered the activity in the slightest, and as for the internal force, running pranayama for a week, it feels more abundant and satisfying.
Nangong Ling is not a snooze, and he has woken up, but the desert is still sleeping. Zhu Wenyu walked to the table and saw the painting that Nangong Ling was painting when he and the desert returned to the inn last night, only to see a few small frames in a large square box, and a few small words such as "Wang, Chen, Xie" were written in a few boxes, as well as a few vertical lines and arrows, and I couldn't understand it for a while. There is also a big ink blot on the picture, which is thought to be caused by Nangong Ling putting the pen directly on the picture in a hurry when he and the desert entered the door last night.
"This is yesterday when I talked to Xiao Er, according to what he said, he drew a simple map of the inner city of Kaifeng, several places where the writing is written are several famous large families, including Zhao Li Liu and other four families whose women were killed, and some other families do not have a lady in the boudoir, but it is also a famous gentleman with family wealth, I drew a map, and I have some impressions." Nangong Ling got down from the couch and whispered as he walked over.
"You're really good, yours is really yours, stinky wood." Zhu Wenyu patted Nangong Ling's shoulder: "It seems that your kid is not idle in the store." He's a caring person. β
"The two of you went out to find out the news, I don't want to go in and out of that kind of dusty place, and I can't just stay and wait and do nothing." Nangong Ling chuckled.
"Brother Nangong will definitely not be like this, but I don't know what news Brother Nangong has found out?" There was a desert sound behind him, and it turned out that he was also awake.
"Xiao Er couldn't find out any news about the thieves here, so I had to ask him to count the wealthy families in the city one by one, and then let him click on the map to approximate the location."
"Brother Nangong really has a heart, Brother Zhu and I went to the Qinglou last night to investigate, and it is not a matter of nothing, there are some clues." The desert will tell the news of the Qinglou investigation one by one, Zhu Wenyu is so lazy that he will go with the desert to say, this desert is born quickly, and his thinking is very clear, and he will tell the news one by one. Nangong Ling also brought together the news he heard at Xiao Er yesterday, and pointed at the sketch map, so that Zhu Sha and the others had a general impression.
"What does Brother Sha think the other three of us should do now?" Nangong Ling asked.
Desert shook his head: "We don't have any good way, we don't know where these two people are now, and we don't know their identities, we can't find out, I think there is only one word of truth nowβwait, choose the most likely place for them to go, wait for the rabbit, and wait for those two lewd thieves to take the bait." β
"It's boring, wait." Zhu Wenyu pursed his lips, the most impatient to wait, he had also guarded at night before, but it was to fight in order to guard the characters in the rivers and lakes, but he ran into the "Jiuquxiang" golden butterfly, and also met the girl in purple, but the taste of withering at night is really unbearable, and his scalp is numb when he thinks about it, if it is not necessary, he is not willing to do this kind of laborious and laborious thing that is not necessarily useful, for him, it is not as fun as going to the Qinglou yesterday to find out the news.
Nangong Ling and Desert glanced at each other and smiled secretly.
"Wait?" Zhu Wenyu said again.
"This has to analyze the place where those two people are most likely to commit the crime next time." Desert Road.
Zhu Wenyu and Nangong Ling stared at the picture on the table and were silent for a while.
"What do you think, two brothers?" After a long moment, Desert stared at the two of them and asked.
"I see, this!" Zhu Wenyu couldn't help it, stretched out a finger, and pointed at the words in the picture.
Nangong Ling nodded with a smile.
"Why?" Desert Cold Road.
"One: This incense candle shop has a sixteen-year-old baby daughter, the city is said to look like a sinking fish and a goose, closed to the moon and shy flowers, the reputation is not small, is waiting for the word boudoir, the rich sons in the city have made trouble to propose, and there are many people who know. 2: Like the murdered Zhao Li and other families, the Zhang family did not monopolize the entire street, and there were many civilians living across the wall from them, mixed in the buildings, and there were no high walls and strict courtyards, so it was easy to escape after committing the crime. Third, the Zhang family is not prosperous, there are not many people, and there is basically no nursing home, it can be said that if the incident happened on the spot, with those few people, no one could stop those two, if I were those two little bastards, I would also choose such a good place. Zhu Wenyu carefully tipped his head.
"Also, it is said that the attic of the Zhang family's daughter is also the highest, and it is built next to the wall, and two zhang away is the roof of the neighbor's house. Desert added.
Nangong Ling also nodded yes beside him.
"By the way, stinky wood, are you asking so fine, aren't you afraid that Xiao Er will see you as those two kings?" Zhu Wenyu suddenly remembered.
"Hehe, I borrowed the name of Brother Zhu." Nangong smiled.
"Ha, I said, this official is really good, I haven't used it well, but you have used it." Zhu Wenyu pretended to have an exaggerated look.
"Hehe, isn't Brother Zhu majestic in Qufu County?" Thinking of Wu Guangzu's courteous appearance that day, Nangong Ling and Zhu Wenyu couldn't help laughing, only because Wu Guangzu was his former top boss didn't laugh out loud.
"Okay, tonight we will go to Zhang's house to squat and drink the northwest wind, and wait for those two estrus rabbits!!" Zhu Wenyu was also energetic as he spoke, rubbing his hands and laughing.
"Come slowly, Brother Zhu, we still have to analyze when it is best to go, otherwise it will be cold today, you will be in the wind every night, if the thief does not come for three or five days, you will already become icicles." It's hard to joke about the desert.
"Then when do you think it's best to go?" Zhu Wenyu asked rhetorically.
"The tenth night of the new year begins!" Nangong Ling interjected.
"How so? Wood? Zhu Wenyu was unconvinced and deliberately made things difficult.
"Yesterday Nanhai Suo Liu Haiqi died on the street, today must be an incident, even if the name of the deceased is not known, the yamen must also strengthen the guards, so today and tomorrow will be extremely strict investigation, everywhere are Yamen spies, after a few days will be a little lax, the rabbits must also know, will not easily come out to commit crimes and hit the top wind. On the fifth day of today's lunar month, I expect that the wind should relax a little after the fifth day, and we will go to squat again, and the chance will be greater. β
"So what are you doing these days? You can't stay in an inn all day, can you? Don't you want to make a bird? Zhu Wenyu had a big headache. These words were learned from Xu Da, the Duke of Wei Guogong in the past, Xu Da was born in the army, and his speech was not vulgar, even in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he popped out a sentence or two of foul words from time to time, but let Zhu Wenyu pick it up.
The desert smiled dumbly: "Who tied up Brother Zhu and didn't let him go out for a few days?" β
When Zhu Wenyu thought about it, he laughed, and Nangong Ling also laughed out loud, and the cold air that had just analyzed the matter was swept away.
"Brother Zhu, don't forget, we still need to walk around more these days, take a look at the terrain outside Zhang's house in the west of the city, Brother Nangong is just a hand-drawn sketch here, and we only heard about it from Xiao Er and Miss Begonia, and I haven't seen the actual situation." Desert Road.
"Yes, yes, go, go!" Zhu Wenyu stood up. Nangong Ling and the others also stood up.
The three of them really traveled together, wandered around in Kaifeng City, walked around the scenic spots, Yuwangtai, Bianzhou Bridge, and the famous Daxiangguo Temple, and enjoyed the ancient capital of the Central Plains, the old scenery and historic sites of the capital in the Song Dynasty. It's just that compared with the previous day, there are really more people on the street, such as the official catcher, searching around and interrogating passers-by, and even the inn has a quick arrest to check the guest's register. It's just that the focus of the investigation of those people in the government is some powerful men, or the performers with swords and swords, Zhu Wenyu and the other three are all dressed as rich sons, and no one has come to check their origins. The three of them are all young people, and they have just come to Kaifeng City, so they are so leisurely and leisurely to play around, so they naturally have fun and happy. However, I didn't forget to get down to business while playing, and I deliberately walked around the west of the city one day to find out where the courtyard of the incense and candle shop was located.
That Zhang's house has a big shop on the street, it is said that there are three shops in Kaifeng City elsewhere are also Zhang's family, Zhu Wenyu deliberately walked into the shop, the shop is full of goods, all kinds of godly incense, incense, lavender, sandalwood, etc., as well as all kinds of candles, ever-bright candles, happy candles and so on, to the inside, all kinds of shrouds wreaths incense candles paper horses, but also piled up throughout the house, guests coming and going, it seems that the business is really good, the shopkeeper Zhang Wanfu was busy beckoning the guy to welcome the send-off.
