Chapter 103: How can it be so coincidental?
"It's not good, it smells of blood......" As the two approached, Xiao Rui exclaimed in surprise, and quickly rushed to the carriage.
It's a pity that I came a step too late, and there were blood stains all around the carriage, and there were several corpses, which seemed to be domestic servants and guards, and it should have been a group of mountain bandits who robbed the passing merchants.
Xiao Rui smashed the carriage with one palm, and said hatefully: "In the territory of Datang, in broad daylight, such a tragedy will happen, what does the local prefect and county order do?" ”
Li Shengnan can understand it better: "In the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, countless grasses fell into the grass. It has only been more than ten years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the great anti-king has been extinguished, but among these people, not all of them have surrendered to the imperial court. There is a way that the hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, or that many people return to the life of occupying the mountain as kings. Alas......"
Xiao Rui sighed with emotion: "Is this the so-called internal and external troubles? The imperial court was busy dealing with the 200,000 hungry wolves of the grassland, and had no time to distract from the bandits in the territory, so it suffered these merchants and people? ”
"Huh? What is it? Li Shengnan found a piece of paper left in the carriage, and looking at the paper, it turned out to be quite a fine one, "Why does it look so familiar?" Brother Rui, take out the Journey to the West book that I collected. ”
Xiao Rui was puzzled, what did he suddenly want to do? But he still took out the Journey to the West script from the storage spirit ring.
The matter of the storage spirit ring was originally unexplainable, except for secrecy, and no one believed it. Once it is leaked, others will treat you as a god, what should I do?
But fortunately, with Journey to the West, she unexpectedly foreshadowed it, and when she told Li Shengnan, her reaction was not surprise, but a surprise like a curious baby, this is the one mentioned in Journey to the West, mustard seed Na Sumeru? Is there anything in the sleeves of Yuan Daxian in Wuzhuang Guanzhen? Brother Rui, are you an immortal?
Knowing this secret, Xiao Rui didn't even tell his parents and Xiangcheng, Li Shengnan's heart was as sweet as eating honey, it turned out that he was so important in his heart. It's a secret that belongs to us alone.
"Look, I said it looks familiar, it turns out to be the back cover of the Journey to the West album." Li Shengnan compared, and sure enough, from the paper to the size, it was exactly the same.
Because it is all manuscripts, the size of the paper used in this album is not the general printing size, but a large book cut by yourself, which is easy to copy, and can write a few more chapters of the storyline, so it is different from other books.
"So, the person who was robbed is our book friend?" Xiao Rui was surprised: "No, those who can afford this book are either rich or expensive, and there must be a lot of guards when they go out, who would dare to rob ordinary people?" ”
The two began to search for clues around the carriage, and Xiao Rui found a wooden plank, which should have been accidentally broken by himself, and exclaimed: "Shengnan, look, this carriage has an owner, and there is a Wei character on it!" ”
What???
"It's really a Wei character."
Xiao Rui was the king of agents in his previous life, and the investigation clues were a piece of cake, and he quickly analyzed the rough idea according to the scene environment: "This carriage should be used by a woman, there are spice residues in the carriage, and there are fragments of women's clothes." And this is not the first scene, it should have been thrown over. Robbers kill people and overtake goods...... No, maybe he robbed the woman, didn't kill her, didn't find the body, all of them were subordinates. ”
Li Shengnan said anxiously: "Brother Rui, can you find the whereabouts of this robber?" We're going to save her. ”
"Huh? Katsuo, what's wrong with you? Well, I'll look for it, it shouldn't be difficult. "It's not that Xiao Rui is inhumane, it's just that he's too lazy to meddle in things, since the disasters of the Datang Mountain Bandits are everywhere, it is useless to clean up the mountain bandits in this mountain and place by himself, and he still has to find a way from the root.
Moreover, the robbed family was not related to their own Pingshui, and they were already killed, and their families and the government dealt with it. It's useless to be anxious at this time.
"Judging from the smell, footprints, and blood stains left at the scene, there were at least five or six people who threw their bodies, and they had been gone for most of the day, and their direction was ......"
"Brother Rui, I remembered, this spice, this spice is used by Yanran, this is Yanran's carriage, it was Yanran who was robbed by robbers, it was Yanran! We must save her. Li Shengnan was about to cry.
Xiao Rui was confused, and hugged the excited Li Shengnan in surprise: "Don't worry, don't worry, you say it slowly." How is this possible? Wei Yanran? Lao Wei's daughter? Isn't she from Chang'an? Why did you come to Hebei? It's not such a coincidence, is it? ”
Li Shengnan urged: "You can't be wrong, I'm very familiar with this spice, plus the size of this carriage, and the picture album." Your journey to the west once only sold less than 100 copies, there is a woman surnamed Wei in Chang'an City, who else is there besides Yanran? ”
Hiss...... So what is she doing here?
"Oh, don't ask, what if it's a trip to the mountains or a family? Hurry up and see how to find this gang of mountain bandits, it's late, it's late, maybe Yanran will ......" Li Shengnan choked up.
"Okay, don't get excited, I'll look for ...... Just kidding, all crimes must leave traces, as long as there are traces, don't try to escape my eyes...... This way! Throw the horse to Li Shengnan, let her have two horses by herself, and follow the clues on the ground to lead the way.
This gang of bandits is the habitual bandits of nearby Niutou Mountain, and it is common to kill people and throw corpses, so they did not deliberately sweep away the traces, and they are very easy to track.
As for why the habitual bandits in Niutou Mountain are so arrogant? The reason is very simple, this is at the junction of the two provinces, far away from the official road and in a remote location, plus their own power is huge, there are five or six hundred people in the Wuthering Mountains forest, so the idle government is too lazy to pay it off. The county orders of the two provinces are all passing the buck to each other, and no one wants to come over and lose their troops and generals.
As for Lao Wei's daughter Wei Yanran, it is easy to explain why she went to Youzhou, but why she gave up the official road and came to this fork in the road, hehe, maybe only she herself can explain it.
Suddenly, an abrupt harrier cry sounded not far away, and the corners of Xiao Rui's mouth curved, "I found their fine outpost, it seems that these mountain bandits are not ordinary, so cautious." ”
Li Shengnan walked the rivers and lakes for the first time, just curious, and after a while, he saw Xiao Rui from a tree dozens of meters away, and captured a person, the person was coarse and short, and the color of his clothes was almost integrated with the mountains and forests.
"Okay, don't bother tracking, there's someone to lead the way." Xiao Rui turned over and got on the horse, and directly lifted the sentry into his hand like a chicken.
"You, you'd better let me go, otherwise our Niutou Mountain won't let you go, and if you enter the Niutou Mountain realm, if you want to go out, you have to get the nod of our big boss."
Xiao Rui laughed: "Okay, take us to see your boss, I just have something to look for him." ”
"Huh? Just with the two of you raw melons and eggs, looking soft and weak, you don't want to learn from others to do chivalrous deeds, right? Okay, since you're looking for death, don't blame me for not reminding you. Is this your daughter-in-law? It's just right, our eldest brother just grabbed a lady from the village, and she got married tonight, and your daughter-in-law's appearance can be a concubine. ”
Li Shengnan gritted his teeth angrily, he really wanted to wipe out this guy with a sword, but when she heard that it was tonight's marriage, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it must be Yanran, so Yanran is still alive.
Xiao Rui directly broke one of this guy's arms: "Don't talk nonsense, show the way!" ”
The sentry's eyes were full of hatred, and he used his other hand to guide the way.
As for whether he will still play tricks? Xiao Rui is not afraid, looking at the hatred of this guy, he can't wait to take us to the cottage immediately and find their boss to support him for revenge.
