The next day.

The inn on Liulin Street in Baishi County "welcomes guests".

Zhao Xinyi slept until three o'clock in the morning before waking up, if it weren't for the hunger and rumbling, he believed that he could sleep for a day and a night. After yawning, he got up from the bed unsatisfied, put on the robe at the head of the bed at will, stretched his waist, opened the door, and suddenly stood a person, startled him, looked at it, it was actually Ergou, and asked in surprise: "When did you come?" What are you doing? Waited a long time? ”

"I'll ...... Come ......" Ergou stammered, his face was sad, and he was a little shy.

Zhao Xinyi rubbed his stomach and said with a grin: "Talking while eating, I'm almost starving!" As he spoke, he took the lead downstairs, and beckoned the shopkeeper to prepare four bowls of noodles and three plates of pickles, and sat by the window with the second dog.

"Thank you!" Ergou lowered his head and finally spoke. At the same time, a few tears slipped down his cheeks.

Zhao Xinyi sighed secretly, and pretended to be relaxed on his face: "It's all a trivial matter, you don't have to take it to heart, filling your stomach is the top priority, two bowls per person, eat quickly, if you don't eat noodles, you will be stoned!" ”

"Thank you!" Ergou still didn't move his chopsticks, and said to himself: "That year, my mother was seriously ill, and the shopkeeper Zhang ......" gritted his teeth hatefully, and immediately changed his words, "Zhang Weiling has the grace of medicine to my family." Although I couldn't save my mother's life in the end, my father and I have always remembered this kindness, and we will visit us every New Year's holiday, and he is also very polite to us......"

Zhao Xinyi finally figured out the whole story. It turned out that Zhang Weiling privately told Ergou that he was actually an agent of the imperial court, determined to get rid of corrupt officials and kill bullies, and return Baishi County to a bright and prosperous place, so that every stonemason can live a good life. Over the years, he has been ordered to search for evidence of Jiang Shoujing, Qian Lingwu, and Hong Zhiyu, but there has been no progress, and he has been repeatedly punished by superiors. The second dog father was deeply moved, and took the initiative to ask Ying, saying that he would do his meager help to do something for the people of Baishi County.

Zhang Weiling was first "embarrassed" by a good student, and then "helpless in every way", so he got to the point, and took out a sample album with "Sanjiangwei Fish Scale Atlas", saying that if he had the opportunity to enter Jiang Shoujing's mansion and see such an album, he must find a way to steal it. The second dog father readily agreed, keeping it in mind.

It's just that even if he had the opportunity to enter Jiang Shoujing's mansion, how could a confidential object like a fish scale atlas be something that an ordinary stonemason could reach. After Zhang Weiling said this, he sank into the sea, and there was no news, and even Zhang Weiling himself didn't take it seriously. Ergou's father deeply imprinted this matter in his heart, and a few days before his death, he solemnly talked about it with Ergou, and asked Ergou to pay attention to it.

Coincidentally, a few days ago, when Jiang Shoujing went to send a birthday post to Qian Lingwu, he took a fancy to the white peach stone monkey in Qian Lingwu's house, saying that he also wanted to have a play, and this stone monkey was from the hand of Ergou.

In this way, when Jiang Shoujing celebrated his birthday, Ergou followed Qian Lingwu and came to Jiang's mansion with the white monkey he carved to offer longevity peaches. After the birthday banquet was finished, the guests dispersed, and Jiang Shoujing only left Hong Zhiyu and Qian Lingwu, and prepared another table for a drink.

In the entire Jiang Mansion, all the soldiers were drunk and dazed, and they were all staggering when they walked, all the subordinates were busy cleaning up cups, plates, tables and chairs, and they were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, and Ergou and his stone monkey were completely forgotten.

Ergou came to the main hall of Jiang's mansion with courage, only to see Jiang Shoujing holding a booklet at the banquet, shaking his head and selling to the other two, the other two were so drunk that they just laughed and couldn't raise their heads. Ergou looked fixedly, and the seven words written on the cover of the booklet were the seven words that his father had been teaching him for half a year, "Sanjiangwei Fish Scale Atlas".

After a short time, Jiang Shoujing himself also fell down, and the booklet fell to the ground. Ergou took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, tiptoed into the room, and leaned over to pick up the booklet. Jiang Shoujing sat up suddenly, and Ergou was so frightened that his soul flew out of his body. However, Jiang Shoujing was drunk, shouted "drink", and then fell on the table again.

Ergou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, quickly took the booklet into his arms, and ran out, and he couldn't get out of the Jiang Mansion alone, so he had to wait until the Qian family's subordinates came in and carried Qian Lingwu away, so he followed silently, and planned to hand over the things to Zhang Weiling when he went out.

But just out of Jiang's mansion, the Qian family's sedan chair man had a broken foot, unable to carry the sedan chair, the steward let him go on top, he was a thief, how dare he disobey, had to go up, all the way to the Qian Mansion, I didn't plan to enter the door, but was scolded by the steward, or entered the door.

It's not that he's afraid of walking a few more steps, but because the housekeeper in this mansion, Qian Shoucai, has already set up a rule that everyone who comes to work in the mansion must be searched when he leaves, in case someone steals this thing. Therefore, he had to hide the fish scale atlas in the Qianfu Buddha Hall. But after hiding it, I never had a chance to take it out.

waited until the stone beast committed murder, he waited for the opportunity, and planned to follow Zhao Xinyi's intention on the first day to enter the Buddhist hall and take things out. never thought that Qian Lingwu would hide inside, it was difficult to start, and he was falsely accused of being the culprit, and finally he couldn't do it. Last time, he followed Zhao Xinyi and Yan Chen into the Qian Mansion again, and used the two of them as bait, wanting to secretly attack, but found that there were too many secret whistles, so for the sake of insurance, he took out a Buddhist scripture from the stone beast at random, and tested it, and it was really a trap. It was also this time that Zhao Xinyi saw the clues, but fortunately, Zhao Xinyi was not overly entangled.

He finally took advantage of everyone's inattention and took the atlas from the Buddha hall. Out of the Qian Mansion, for the sake of safety, he went around the city a few times, and then went to Zhang Ji Crude Medicine Shop.

But the shopkeeper was not in the shop, so he left a message for the guy in the shop, saying that Lin Sanhammer promised the shopkeeper that the things would be delivered in the evening!

And so came what happened.

In the end, Ergou completely became a tearful person.

Zhao Xinyi said with relief: "It's all over, and the two culprits have also been punished!" ”

Ergou wiped away a handful of tears, tried to stop crying, and said, "Is that corpse really Qian Lingwu?" ”

Zhao Xinyi knew that the corpse in Ergou's mouth was referring to the fat one of the two corpses in Hong Zhi's imperial vault, the corpse was scorched black up and down, unrecognizable, but the body was similar to Qian Lingwu, to be honest, he was not very sure, but in this situation, he could only nod his head and said, "It must not be wrong!" ”

On the other side, under the leadership of Yan Chen, the first big gang of Iron Wolf Gang was uprooted, and those who were imprisoned were imprisoned, and those who were killed were killed, which was very happy, and the people of Baishi County all applauded. Yan Chen kept going, carefully examining these caught fish, but these people were all small people, but they didn't know much.

The case fell into a dead end in this way, and in addition, the emperor sent someone to order Yan Chen to return to Beijing. Yan Chen had no choice but to give up and escorted Hong Zhiyu and Jiang Shoujing back to Wuning City.

Before returning to Beijing, she gave Zhao Xinyi and Ergou a talent post. Zhao Xinyi asked her for silver and demon pills, but she categorically refused, the reason was naturally that the case was not solved, and Zhao Xinyi was so angry that he couldn't wait to sell her to the Qinglou again. But in the end, he could only smile and give up, what else? She has a large army, as well as a senior brother, and she only has an old yellow dog who knows how to sleep, how to fight her.

Ergou took the talent post but wanted to return it, he felt that it was good to be a stonemason, and Yan Chen also said that they would be exempted from taxes in the future, he was even more happy. He didn't think he could become that kind of monk with great powers, he just wanted to be a stonemason honestly.

Zhao Xinyi told Ergou very definitely that he had a spiritual vein, and he was a hundred times stronger than himself at this point, and when he said this, he faintly felt sad and lonely with no one else. He didn't lie to Ergou, he asked Lao Huang earlier, and the latter was very sure that Ergou not only had spiritual veins, but also that the grade was not low, and the spiritual veins of the earth attribute on the ground level. Although there are some deficiencies in the dragon and phoenix compared to Zeng Jianshen and Yan Chen, these two are both spiritual veins of the middle grade of the Heavenly Rank, Zeng Jianshen is metallic, and Yan Chen is a fire attribute. But Ergou is still much stronger than most people, especially people like Zhao Xinyi who don't even have a spiritual vein.

Zhao Xinyi persuaded and persuaded him, but the two dogs were unmoved - he was too stubborn, and in the end, Yan Chen ordered him to be tied up, and he followed him back to the capital.

Ergou didn't understand what he meant to Yan Chen, he was the latter's only big gain from going out of Beijing this time, how could she let him run away, just relying on Zhao Xinyi, who didn't even have a spiritual vein, could she get down in face?

The group of people went on the road in a big soup, and there were officials to pick them up all the way, and there were different tricks for eating and drinking, and Zhao Xin was also at ease.

On this day, as soon as they arrived at the boundary of Qingyuan County, Qingyuan Zhixian and a group of rich gentry and celebrities were already waiting there, beating gongs and drums, and welcoming Yan Chen and his party to the county station. Food and the house had already been prepared, and Zhao Xinyi and Lao Huang had a beautiful meal. Yan Chen was annoyed enough by the magistrate, and he had a meal, and the latter kept chattering beside him - maybe it was because Yan Chen was the biggest powerful man he had ever seen in his life, and he was so excited that he couldn't control his mouth at all.

But Yan Chen couldn't live in peace, and in a fit of anger, he ordered two soldiers to directly take the magistrate out.

After eating, it was dark, and there was no nagging magistrate, and everyone began to go to bed.

The post station is not big, the houses are limited, Yan Chen, Zeng Jianshen and Li Zhixin have one room, two prisoners have one room, and the rest of the people have no such treatment, some squeeze the firewood room, some squeeze the stove room, Zhao Xinyi, Ergou and Lao Huang are squeezed in the carriage.

slept until midnight, Lao Huang suddenly opened his eyes and pushed Zhao Xinyi hard, the latter slept like a dead pig, how could he react, he wanted to fall directly on his face with a claw, and when he thought that he would have to bear it, he gave up again. Changed his strategy, took a deep breath, raised his tail to cover his mouth and nose, he sat up in shock, panted and swept around, looking at the strange smile of Lao Huang, he couldn't help but open his eyes angrily.

Lao Huang said to him: "You fuck, you should thank me in a while, wake up this kid, find a good place to wait for the show!" ”

Zhao Xinyi complied suspiciously, woke up Ergou, and Ergou asked him what he was doing, only saying that he was going to, and he was afraid alone at night. The two yawned and followed Lao Huang to a field far away from the first mile west of the post station.

As soon as the cold wind blew, Zhao Xinyi's drowsiness had faded by half, looked at Lao Huang, and said in Xinhu: "What kind of show are you watching?" ”

Before the words fell, the sound of arrows breaking through the air, screams, and shouts of killing suddenly sounded on the side of the station. After a while, the flames were soaring into the sky, and the figures were crowded. A group of black-clothed men slaughtered violently, catching the soldiers by surprise.

"What's going on?"

Zhao Xinyi and Ergou glanced at each other, both of them in shock.

"It's just a ghost fight!" Lao Huang squatted on the ground, looked at it with relish, and shook his head from time to time, with a look of disgust, showing great contempt for the methods of these people.

"Lao Huang, it's really yours!" Zhao Xinyi rubbed his chin and praised the kindness.

Lao Huang glanced at him, "Then you don't need to say!" "The eyes are very arrogant," to tell you the truth, there are still two groups of people in the secret! Looking at the situation, this first group should want to kill people, the hidden second group should be to protect the girl, and the more hidden third group is probably to be a fisherman, and when the two groups are defeated, kill them by surprise! ”

"So lively?" Zhao Xin's face was wonderful.

Lao Huang said more and more: "Moreover, this is not the most lively, the most lively are the two in the prisoner car!" ”

"Jiang Shoujing and Hong Zhiyu?" Zhao Xinyi frowned, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "You mean those two were transferred?" ”

Lao Huang pretended to be mysterious and didn't say a word anymore, Zhao Xin glanced at him and looked at the battle circle. In the battle circle, Zeng Jianshen supported Yan Chen and did not participate in the battle too much. The men in black became more and more courageous, and judging from their skills, there were at least five or six monks in the foundation building period, who were invincible with swords and swords, and they were about to kill a group of soldiers.

Zhao Xin thought about it secretly, the first group of people should be sent by Hong Jiangcheng to extinguish the mouth, the second group was sent by the Northern Yan Imperial Court, and the third group was probably sent by Li Kui for the person behind the scenes.

It's going to be a lively night!

"Dao Chief, what should we do?" Ergou's face was anxious, and he searched around, as if he wanted to find a weapon to take advantage of. But this is a farmland, not to mention weapons, not even a stick, not even a stone!

Zhao Xinyi comforted: "Don't worry, stupid girl ...... there" I saw Ergou looking at him strangely, and hurriedly changed his words, "The princess must have already made arrangements, maybe this is the ambush she set up, deliberately luring the enemy to go deeper, and then catch turtles in an urn!" ”

"Really?"

What answered him was a few sword roars, and there were indeed a group of people in the dark, not many, only seven people, dressed in green robes, the same as Zeng Jianshen's dress, and they were all monks of the Flying Dragon Academy.

The two groups of people immediately fought together, fighting each other for a long time, each with damage, and ten more men in black were killed in the dark......
