Chapter 048 [The Murderer Appears]

Zhang Fei shook his head and roared, like a tiger descending the mountain, his fists were tiger-like, his left fist swept away Ah Er's hand knife, and his right fist forced Ah Da back, almost instantly, his right fist swirled, knocking Ah Er to the ground.

Seeing this, Ah Da desperately attacked Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei, who was in the best situation, did not enter him into the right eye at all, sideways to avoid the blade, his right fist slanted out, and Ah Da retreated and flew out. At the same time, Zhang Fei fell down forcefully.

Liu Bei panicked and stepped forward, tore the clothes on Zhang Fei's back, sprinkled the hemostatic medicine on it, and the blood stopped immediately.

"Third brother!"

Liu Bei called softly, and Zhang Feida opened his eyes and was no longer awake. Liu Bei probed Zhang Fei's snort, and he was still angry. Liu Bei immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Guan Yu ran down from the ground, saw the situation around him, and already understood what was happening in his heart. Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Carry the third brother back." ”

Guan Yu didn't say a word, picked up Zhang Fei and rushed out.

》》》》》》》》》》》》》

I'm Liu Bei.

Zhang Fei was seriously injured and should have followed, but he couldn't do anything with him. Find what you're looking for first. Seeing the four guards lying on the ground unmoving, I immediately walked into the passage.

There are white candles lit on both sides of the passage, which should be permanent lights. The passage is more than 20 zhang deep, and at the end is an iron gate. Push it lightly and stay still. In the middle of the iron door is a small concave hole, which is very strangely opened, completely different from the keyhole, but there is a sense of déjà vu. Next to the small hole is an obvious keyhole. Could it be that you need a key to open this door? The doors here are really heavy and heavy, not to mention ordinary people, even if they are martial arts masters.

The voice of a badly injured Guardian behind him came: "The key is at my waist. ”

"Why are you helping me?" I asked, confused.

"I didn't help you. This is the rule of the trade, and if you eat a meal, you must abide by the rules. He said in a staccato way.

"Are you alright?"

"You have been merciful. That died, and none of the four of us would die. ”

After taking the key and hitting the iron door, a spacious space appeared in front of me, at least a thousand square meters. And all around is made of cold iron. It can be said that it is a solid secret room that cannot be dug in or drilled.

It is full of cabinets and shelves, and the shelves are full of bamboo slips. Each small frame is labeled with bamboo chips, which is in chronological order and in days. Walking inside, there were not bamboo slips on the shelves, but pieces of cloth wrapped in horses.

Inside, the shelves were filled with silver. How can it be silver? How is it not gold? I had been hearing Zi Jasmine say that it was a silver treasury just now, but I didn't react for a while: the silver in the Three Kingdoms period was not yet a circulating currency.

"Lord Liu, what you want is here." Cai Wenji's voice came, I turned around, and sure enough, it was her. It seems that I was fascinated by what I saw just now. There is so much silver, I have only seen thin silver needles since I crossed, and I have never seen so much silver, and it is still in the shape of bricks.

"The silver?" I pointed to the big pieces of silver.

"Questions?" Cai Wenji asked incomprehensibly.

"There should be gold here."

Cai Wenji pursed her lips and smiled. "Does Lord Liu really don't know or not?"

"I don't know if I don't know, how can there be a difference between truth and falsehood?"

"So, you really don't know." Cai Wenji said: "Silver is ten times more expensive than gold. The amount of money in and out of the Tang Society was large, and if silver was used, whether it was stored or transferred, it was much more convenient than gold. ”

"I see. Hehe~" I smirked and laughed at myself for being insightful again. This reminds me of a time when Napoleon used an aluminium bowl instead of a gold bowl when entertaining a distinguished guest. The reason is the same as it is now: the production of aluminum in those days was low, and it was more expensive than gold. For example, the yield of silver is low now, and it is more expensive than gold.

"These are the records about the sale of Zhao Liquor. There are five volumes in total, all of which are from this month. Cai Wenji hugged the bamboo slip over. I pointed to the cloth and asked, "What is the cloth used for?" ”

"It's also for the record. Every six months, the bookkeeper will copy the records on these bamboo slips onto a white cloth, and a white cloth can copy the contents of more than 100 bamboo slips. This saves space. ”

I couldn't help but nod: "The knowledge inside has made me a fool." Come on, you put it down, I'll hold the information. ”

Out of the basement, he handed over the five rolls of bamboo slips to Xu Shu, and rushed to the yamen. Go back and take a good look at this information, the murderer must be among them.

On the lively street, I walked briskly towards the county office. It's almost lunchtime, and there are still so many pedestrians on the street. Bustling and crowded. I looked back and saw Xu Shu following me, followed by dozens of servants.

A familiar accent was suddenly heard in my ears.

"Go south!"

"Listen to me, go west!"

"Listen to me, go east!"

Then there was the noise. A beautiful savage female voice came: "Shut up for me!" Go North! ”

This voice is so familiar that I can't help but look around, but I can't see anyone. I couldn't help but keep walking north.

Again, the savage female voice just now hummed a very familiar tune. I searched for the voice, and the singing became clearer and clearer.

"The world is always changing, and the earth is constantly turning, in your time and space. I have never flinched from cowardice. ”

"Love Enough"! There was a burst of ecstasy in my heart, it was Bailiru's little girl. She's found it. What a fool. As I pursued forward, a carriage rushed by, blocking my way. After the carriage left, the song was also heard. I couldn't help but curse: "Damn the carriage! ”

Xu Shu came to me with five rolls of bamboo slips: "My lord, what happened just now?" ”

"It's okay! Let's go. ”

"Be careful!" Xu Shu pushed me down, and when I came back to my senses, the pedestrians on the street were already screaming in fright and fleeing in all directions, and a dozen or so servants behind me had fallen to the ground*. A black-clad masked man stood in front of me with a sword, blood stains falling from his sword. It was clear that the masked man did not want to kill them. Such a high level of martial arts is very consistent with Guan Yu's guess that the murderer's martial arts are strong.

"Give me the bamboo slips!" The masked man shouted.

Xu Shu was about to hand it out, but I shouted, "I can't give it!" ”

The enemy is so powerful, he killed and injured more than a dozen officers in an instant, and now he has come to ask for bamboo slips, there is no doubt that he is the murderer I am looking for. It's a pity that Guan Yu is not around, and Zhang Fei has been seriously injured and treated, otherwise it would not be his turn to be rampant.

I suddenly found out that if the masked man wanted to kill me and take the bamboo slips, Xu Shu and I would already be dead. Not to mention that there is still time to think. Since he won't kill me, then what are you afraid of. Whatever the reason, it's a fact that he can't kill a man.

"Stand up, Boss Xu!" I stood up and threw the dust on my body, Xu Shu was already frightened.

"I'll count to three!" The masked man has no fear, openly threatening the court officials on the street, presumably the backstage is hard enough.

"I'll help you count! One two three! It's here, let's do it. As a Han official, why not be afraid of life and death! "I shouted to the people who were hiding.

The masked man looked up to the sky and laughed. "You're smart enough! Yes, I'm not going to kill you at the moment. ”

"Joke, can you decide whether to kill me or not? I'm afraid you'll have to beg me not to kill you! ”

"I'm waiting for this day to come! Only, that day will never come. The masked man stabbed at Xu Shu with a sword, and immediately a white long sword flew over and went straight to the masked man.

The masked man made a mistake with both feet, and the kicked Haobai long sword flew back along the original road, and then picked up the bamboo slip held by Xu Shu into the air with a sword.

"Drink!" The Baili Sword jumped into the air from the side, took the long sword in his hand, and attacked the masked man.

In an instant, the shadow of the sword flew, and I could only see the blurry movements. After three moves, the Baili Sword flew out upside down. At this time, the bamboo slip fell down, and the masked man picked up his sword and cut the bamboo slip into thin strips. Then he ran and disappeared at the end of the street.

Watching the masked man do all this, there was nothing I could do about it.

"Brother Bei!"

I turned around, and Bailiru ran over. When he came to me, his little face immediately flushed. He took her slender hand and asked, "My savage miss, if you come out like this, you won't be looking for you in the canyon?" You're their future madacha. ”

Bailiru squirmed and said cautiously: "People miss you." ”

Baili Jian walked over and held the sword behind him and arched: "Patriarch, it was Elder Li's approval to come out this time." ”

"You have suffered a lot this time by letting her escort her out of the valley, right?" I smiled.

Baili Jian was about to speak, and three figures jumped out.

Li Dafu pretended to be bitter and said: "Baili Sword didn't suffer, but it hurt my great fortune." ”

"your fart. How much roast chicken did you eat along the way? The most bitter thing is my two blessings. ”

"No, no. My three blessings are the most bitter. Every time, I will buy you food on errands. Patriarch, tell me, who is the most bitter? ”

Bai Liru said with a smile: "But every time you buy the roast chicken wings, they are gone." ”

Li Dafu said: "Not only roast chicken, but also roast duck." ”

Li Erfu said: "And the goose I roasted last time, the wings disappeared as soon as I turned around." ”

Li Sanfu said: "They ...... They flew away, what could it matter to me? Patriarch, you comment, I Sanfu never likes to eat wings. ”

I squeezed my eyes and said, "I can testify that Sanfu hates eating wings the most." ”

"As soon as I came, you and your gang bullied others, it was really in vain that people thought about you day and night, and they knew that they would be angry, so they didn't have to work so hard to come." Bailiru tilted her head to the side angrily.

"I can't read the handwriting at all." Xu Shu picked up the bamboo strip on the ground and shouted.

"It's okay, go back to the yamen first." I led Baili Ru to the county office.

"I don't want to go, people don't want to go!" Bailiru twisted and didn't follow.

"Okay, okay, if you don't want to go, I can only carry you. I can't let my future matriarch be affected. ”

"In public, I'm ashamed." Bailiru said and stopped me from walking forward.

I laughed and said, "It's the other way around, it's the other way around." The yamen is in the back. ”
