Chapter 152: Chasing the murderer in Tang Lubu's shop
The shopkeeper Du entered the house.
The man did not leave immediately, but stood at the door and looked around for a while, seeing that no one noticed him, and then walked quickly around the house and went to the back.
About half a stick of incense later, the candle in Chai Qing's house was suddenly blown out, and then there was a very strange sound, as if someone was beating the cotton ball hard.
Lu Bu was sensitive to something happening.
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Bu quietly walked out of the room.
The voice in Chai Qing's room has disappeared.
Quietly pushing open the door, Lu Bu tried to avoid his body as much as possible, and observed into the room.
The room was pitch black, and all I could see was the bed in the corner, and the broken things that had been piled up on it. At the foot of the bed, there was a hammer, the long wooden handle was broken, and a puddle of black liquid formed an oval next to the hammer, giving off a foul smell.
Lu Bu's gaze fell on the open rear window.
Pulling out the halberd on his waist, Lu Bu came to the window.
Behind the rear window is an open space.
There is a distance of about fifty meters from here to the courtyard wall behind, and at this time, there are two black shadows shaking on the edge of the courtyard wall, although they can't see clearly, but Lu Bu can conclude that this is the guy from the shopkeeper and the wine shop.
Lu Bu did not go out of the back window, but chose to go around from the front and squat down not far from the two.
"Uncle, this kid has a big life, so many people didn't kill him last time, but was rescued by the Hou people, the little one is still a little worried, otherwise, let's call a few people to drag him outside, right?" It was the guy who spoke.
"You kid is so cowardly, how can you do such a thing with Lao Tzu? If it weren't for Feng Bo's tightness, Lao Tzu wouldn't have risked killing. The shopkeeper Du said ruthlessly.
"After leaving the Hou family, there is another Feng Bo, our small shop is really not peaceful. If you want me to say, let's take a few treasures and leave, and this little shop simply doesn't want it. The guy said.
"Hugh is here again, what to do, I don't need you to teach me." The movement of the shopkeeper Du slowed down, obviously considering the suggestion of the man, but he quickly said again.
Lu Bu watched as the two of them buried Chai Qing's body.
Is he thinking about whether to rush out and hand over the two of them to the government?
Soon, Lu Bu dispelled this thought.
There is no other official mansion here, only the governor's mansion of the Hou family, and the Hou family is no longer there, it is obvious that this Feng Bo and the shopkeeper Du are in the same group.
Chai Qing was killed, and it is likely to have something to do with that wine bottle.
Seeing the two people camouflaged on the fresh soil, Lu Bu quietly left and returned to his room.
It didn't take long for the guy to clean up Chai Qing's house and walk out cautiously.
In the middle of the night, Lu Bu woke up Xu Ba and Xue Meng.
The three men dug up Chai Qing's body.
As expected, Chai Qing didn't have that wine bottle on his body.
"If you want me to see it, why don't we wait for our identities to be revealed, and arrest Feng Bo and Du's shopkeeper together, maybe we can find out the whereabouts of the murderer of Hou Ji from the mouths of the two?" Xu Ba pressed the handle of the steel knife and said to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu shook his head.
The two cases seem to be unrelated, and if they are exposed too early, they will arouse the suspicion of the murderer.
"We just don't know about this." Lu Bu said, "After dawn, act according to the plan, you two just need to wait here for news." β
Chai Qing was buried according to the original appearance, and the three of them rested separately.
After dawn, Lu Bu rode to the barracks.
At this time, in the room where Hou Ji lived, Feng Bo was sitting alone on a chair, looking at the wine bottle that Du's shopkeeper had just delivered.
There is also a hint of earth on the top of the sake bottle, which exudes a strong ancient atmosphere, which is very reminiscent of the ancient people pouring wine into it with a copper spoon.
There was the sound of footsteps outside the door.
Feng Bo hurriedly put away the wine bottle and put it under the table.
It was a samurai who entered.
"General Feng summoned the villain to come, what do you dare to order?" The samurai asked.
"You go and call two relatives, and this afternoon, go to the capital with General Ben." Feng Bo said.
The samurai was stunned.
"The general said he was going to the capital?"
"Hou Governor ordered the death of the capital, and this general remembered the benefits to us when he was alive, and wanted to go there to pay respects, and by the way, to appease his family." Feng Bo replied.
The samurai seemed taken aback.
"Governor Hou just went to the capital, how could he die for no reason? Where did General Feng get the news again? β
Feng Bo's face changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down.
"General Ben also just got the news, a friend in Beijing passed by here and accidentally mentioned it. Hugh asked more, and quickly went down and prepared. β
"Yes." The samurai was still a little suspicious, but he didn't dare to ask more and retreated.
Soon after the warrior left, LΓΌ Bu's war horse came to the courtyard.
Feng Bo's enthusiasm for Lu Bu was a little disgusting.
Several warriors who were usually better with Lu Bu also rushed over when they heard the news.
"I heard that Tang Zhuangshi is now on an errand beside Lord Bao in Kaifeng Mansion, but it seems to be several times stronger here."
"With Tang Zhuangshi's skills, why do you care where you go to work."
"In the future, Tang Zhuangshi will soar, don't forget my brothers."
Listening to these people's flattery, Lu Bu just smiled faintly and said a few words without a match.
"Tang Zhuangshi came back this time, but did he have any orders?" Feng Bo sent the others away, and Lu Bu and him were the only ones left in the room, and asked.
Lu Bu walked a few steps in the room, deliberately making a somewhat hesitant appearance.
"Actually, the villain came back this time because of the order of Lord Bao, all because of the fact that Governor Hou was killed in the capital." Lu Bu said as he observed Feng Bo's reaction.
Feng Bo really looked surprised.
"Did Tang Zhuangshi say that Inspector Hou was killed in the capital?" Feng Bo said, patted his thigh hard, and continued, "The villain has already reminded him that there are many people in the capital, and villains like me must not be taken lightly. β
Lu Bu smiled lightly.
"General Feng is now sitting in the position of the superintendent, and he must also be infinitely beautiful, as if we were driven by people in the capital to do such a ghostly errand."
Feng Bo's eyes rolled.
"Tang Zhuangshi doesn't know, the imperial court has not yet appointed others to take over the Hou Supervisor, and the general is only the right and agent, if the new Governor arrives, the villain, the position of the Chinese army guard, I don't know if he can keep it."
After saying a few innocuous words, Lu Bu got up and said goodbye.
Feng Bo didn't keep too much.
When he went out, Lu Bu happened to meet the warrior who was about to go to the capital with Feng Bo, and after holding hands and saying a few words, Lu Bu left quickly.
Although he only said a few words, the warrior informed Lu Bu of the news that he was going to the capital with Feng Bo.
Feng Bo didn't expect that the news he deliberately concealed would be known to Lu Bu so soon.
Lu Bu returned to the shop as fast as he could.
"Tang Zhuangshi has a harvest?" Xue Meng saw Lu Bu looking in a hurry, and asked for some reason.
"The two brothers quickly pack up and go back to Beijing with me." Lu Bu said.
Xue Meng and Xu Ba were a little surprised.
"What important news did Tang Zhuangshi dare to hear?"
