Chapter 268: Rainy Night at the Post Station (4)
Wang Yi scolded "corrupt officials and corrupt officials", which aroused You Jingwu's vigilance.
The officials of the Ming Dynasty are ten officials and nine greedy. Isn't it the same as scolding an official for a corrupt official?
Wang Yi knew that he was speechless, and said with a smile: "Ah, look at my mouth." If you drink too much, you won't have a door. ”
At this moment, the medical officer walked out of the shop and came to You Jingwu: "County Zun, the soil law can't stop diarrhea!" He's in the crotch again. ”
You Jingwu was puzzled: "What the hell is going on?" I didn't eat anything suspicious, and the herb frost couldn't stop the diarrhea, and the soil method couldn't stop the diarrhea. ”
Basha pulled You Jingwu aside and suggested in a low voice: "I don't think I can let Liang Bohong go to the thatched house outside the post station." It's stormy outside, always going in and out, and it's easy for killers to take advantage of it. ”
You Jingwu ordered: "Come, send Master Lin to my bedroom, and use the gong bucket in my bedroom." ”
Yi Cheng hurriedly stopped: "This is not in accordance with the rules!" The master has no official and no position, how can he use the official bedroom of the post station? Unless "
You Jingwu lost patience with Yicheng. He directly took out more than ten silver tickets from his sleeve, about five hundred taels, and fell on Yicheng's face: "Don't you just want silver?" That's not enough! ”
Yi Cheng was angry at first, but after a while, he found out that what You Jingwu smashed at him was a silver ticket.
Yi Cheng immediately regained his calm expression: "Ah, but your master has such a serious diarrhea tonight. Special events can be done on a special basis. Let him use your bedroom. ”
After speaking, Yi Cheng picked up the silver tickets on the ground one by one and stuffed them into his sleeve.
You Jingwu secretly scolded in his heart: Daming officialdom is really black! Even the sesame big post is trying every way to make money. Not to mention the ministers of the ministries!
The night was getting deeper.
Lu Dahu's bedroom is next door to You Jingwu's bedroom.
In other words, the killer "Poisonous Yellow Sparrow" Cuixian is only separated by a wall from her target Liang Bohong.
Lu Dahu said to Cui Xian: "Why is it noisy outside. I'm out to find out. ”
Tsui Xian nodded.
Lu Dahu got out of the bedroom, and when he went downstairs, he deliberately raised his voice: "It is worthy of the top brand of Yihong Building." Kung Fu is good. I'm so tired that my mouth is dry. I'll need to find some cold water to drink. ”
He came to the hall on the first floor and walked in front of You Jingwu: "Yu Zhixian, that little girl is really worthy of her reputation." ”
After speaking, he picked up the teapot and drank a cow drink to his mouth.
Wang Yi, the magistrate on the side, yawned and said to You Jingwu: "It's late at night." My lord, I'll go back to my bedroom to rest. ”
You Jingwu bowed slightly.
After Wang Yi left, Lu Dahu dipped his fingers in the tea and wrote five words on the table, "Borrow a step to speak." ”
You Jingwu actually had some suspicion of Lu Dahu. Chang Feng had told him before he left Beijing that when he went out to handle cases, he should not trust anyone easily.
However, in order to explore Lu Dahu's reality and reality, You Jingwu decided to talk to Lu Dahu alone. See what he will say.
You Jingwu got up: "I'll go to the livestock shed to see if the livestock I brought are fed with forage." ”
Lu Dahu said: "I will also go to the livestock shed to see how the stagecoach is prepared." Tomorrow the rain stops, I will change my horse and gallop to the capital to deliver the military report. ”
The two braved the rain to come to the barn in the backyard of the inn.
Lu Dahu said: "You Ye, I know you can't fully trust me. Chang Shuai Ye told me a word, he said, as long as I say this sentence to you, you will understand that I am my own person. ”
You Jingwu asked, "What words?" ”
Lu Dahu said: "The Yan family is good at everything, but the tea is not good, and it smells of swill." ”
This is a sentence that Chang Feng and You Jing said when they were alone.
At the beginning, Chang Feng and You Jingwu went to Yan's house to make a salute. The Yan family is a pleasant person in Jiangxi, and they drink Lushan Yunwu tea.
Chang Feng couldn't get used to drinking, and after going home, he half-jokingly said this to You Jingwu. No one else was present when he said this.
Chang Feng took this sentence as a code, a code to prove Lu Dahu's identity.
You Jingwu said: "Sure enough, it's your own person." ”
Lu Dahu said: "You Ye, Cui Xian and the four turtle princes under him are killers sent by the Xie family. Once we returned to the station, we had to think of a way to capture them alive. They are ironclad evidence of the Xie family's murder of the criminal officials and the corrupt officials in the salt protection case. ”
You Jingwu asked, "How do you know their identities?" Can you rely on the confrontation in bed to find out the true identity of a woman? ”
Lu Dahu replied: "Before Cuixian entered the station, I already knew her identity. ”
You Jingwu frowned: "When Cuixian entered the post station, you, me, and Basha were standing in the corridor on the second floor. Why didn't you tell me? Won't you tell me until an hour later? ”
Lu Dahu smiled bitterly: "Because my identity is secret, so secret that I can't let Basha know." ”
You Jingwu looked at Lu Dahu suspiciously: "What do you say?" ”
Lu Dahu said: "This is a long story. Chang Shuaiye used a counter-plan in order to insert eyes and ears on the side of Shoufu Liu Fitness. Let Zhang Cai and Zhang Yan secretly take refuge in Liu Jian under the pretense of doing so. ”
"I'm Zhang Yanshi's confidant. So behind the scenes, I'm on the side of the civil servants. ”
"This time, Liu Jian asked Zhang to cooperate with the killers sent by Xie Qian, and he should cooperate with the outside to kill Liang Bohong, so as to protect those corrupt officials involved in the salt case."
"Zhang Yishi sent me to the North Tibetan Station to sing a play with those killers. The purpose is to get evidence of the Xie family's crimes. ”
You Jingwu said: "Based on the words between me and my father-in-law, I still can't fully believe you. ”
Lu Dahu took out another piece of jade: "Master Chang has expected this and gave me this token." ”
This piece of jade has a great origin. In the last years of Chenghua, Changfeng participated in the preservation of reserves.
In the twenty-third year of Chenghua, Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne and summoned the old minister Huaien to return to Beijing and go out of the city to greet him. On that day, Emperor Hongzhi gave Chang Feng, the hero of the reserve, a piece of jade.
It is in the hands of Lu Dahu.
This is Changfeng's beloved thing, and he always carries it with him.
Lu Dahu can take it out as a token, which shows that he is indeed a person of Changfeng.
You Jingwu looked at Yu Jue: "The righteous father is really powerful. It turned out that the matter had always been in the hands of the stepfather. ”
Lu Dahu said: "Say something disrespectful. People are old spirits, ghosts are old spirits. Chang Shuaiye has served in Jinyi Wei for more than 20 years and has mastered health affairs for more than 10 years. He was very meticulous in his work. How could such an important criminal be allowed to die in an assassination? ”
You Jingwu asked, "What about the rest of the people?" Wang Yi, beggars, and postmen? ”
Lu Dahu shook his head slightly: "I don't know their identities." ”
You Jingwu asked again: "Liang Bohong has diarrhea tonight, is it a ghost made by Cuixian?" ”
Lu Dahu replied: "It wasn't Cuixian's gang. If it was them, there was no way that Immortal wouldn't have told me. I am now her 'helper'. ”
You Jingwu said: "Then it's strange that the medical officer has sweat medicine there." Once you took it, you gave it to the cuixian in your bedroom on the second floor. You don't have to worry about the four turtles in the hall, they will be handed over to me. ”
There are fifty Jinyi Guards, and Cui Xian and Gui Gong add up to only five. You Jingwu can win by force alone.
But the sword has no eyes when it comes to fighting. Chang Feng in the capital painstakingly arranged the bureau of the North Tibetan Post in order to capture the killers alive and get the evidence of the Xie family's crimes.
For the sake of safety, You Jingwu decided not to use force and to win by skill.
Meng's sweat medicine is a must-have product for home travel, and Jinyiwei usually carries it when traveling on errands. After all, Jinyiwei has never been an official who acts uprightly and brightly.
The two entered the post house, and You Jingwu entered the shop and took the sweat medicine from the medical officer. He returned to the hall and quietly stuffed the sweat medicine to Lu Dahu.
Lu Dahu said: "Everyone. I went upstairs first. The Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold. Such a beauty, I can't let her be idle. ”
After returning to the bedroom, Lu Dahu turned around and went to the table to pour tea. As he poured the tea, he turned his back to the Cuixian.
With a shake of his hand, he put the sweat medicine in the tea bowl.
Then Lu Dahu came to the bed with a teapot and a bowl. Lu Dahu said: "Exploration understands." Liang Bohong suddenly had a stomach upset. You Jingwu let him live next door to us. In the room, there were six brocade-clad guards who were closely protected, all wearing scorpion crossbows. ”
Cui Xian took out a wooden pole and a stick of incense from her baggage.
Woodwinds are half the thickness of a little finger.
Cuixian said: "It seems that I am going to use incense." In the second half of the night, I first lost six wrestlers and Liang Bohong. Let's go in and start again. ”
Lu Dahu asked: "How to use incense instead of poisonous incense?" I've heard that poison incense can kill people directly. ”
Cuixian sneered for a lifetime: "Although the poisonous incense can also take Liang Bohong's life." Those who can blow incense will also see the king of Yama. Why, would you like to be a dead man and blow poisonous incense? ”
Lu Dahu poured two cups of tea: "I'm still waiting for this matter to be rewarded by the fourth son of the Xie family." I don't want to die. Then listen to you, first with incense and then with a knife. ”
"It's late at night, let's not be sleepy. It's strong tea, and I added a handful of tea leaves. Let's refresh yourself. ”
Fourth Prince Xie repeatedly explained to Cuixian that Lu Dahu was the Jinyi Wei Neiying they bought, and he was very reliable.
Cui Xian was not suspicious, picked up the teacup and took a big sip.
A moment later, Cuixian suddenly felt her eyelids fight, and she passed out in a daze.
Lu Dahu took out the rope and tied her up firmly.
Next, it's up to You Jingwu downstairs.
You Jingwu deliberately stabbed and drank tea. While drinking tea, he also said: "There is no money in this world." gave the post station a few hundred taels of silver, and the tea on it was of the highest quality, and it was very fragrant! ”
The four turtle males carried the big wooden box and walked for a long time, and after entering the post station, Shuimi didn't hit his teeth. I was so thirsty that my throat smoked.
The fat turtle prince at the head asked the post guard: "Official, can you enjoy a bowl of water to drink?" ”
The postman frowned coldly: "What are you?" Do you want us to serve you tea in official clothes? ”
The fat turtle said fairly: "You don't need to give tea, you can give four bowls of cool well water!" ”
The postman smiled: "It's done." Dig out the money. Don't you need silver to dig a well? Four bowls of well water are worth four taels of silver. ”
It's really that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and the post man is a man who regards wealth as his life, and the post guard is not far behind.
The fat turtle was about to pay for the silver, but the other turtle gave him a look and shook his head slightly.
People are professional killers, and they care a lot about covering their identities.
The four lowly turtle men actually took out four taels of silver in exchange for four bowls of cold water. This is unreasonable and will arouse the suspicion of others.
You Jingwu scolded the post guard: "You are really white-eyed wolves who can't be fed, Pixiu who can't eat!" Tonight you have received five or six hundred pieces of silver from me. People want to drink a few bowls of well water, and you make them pay for it. ”
After speaking, You Jingwu took the teapot to the four turtle princes: "This pot of tea, I will reward you." ”
Lu Dahu gave Cuixian tea to drink, and Cuixian would drink it. Because Cuixian thinks that Lu Dahu is her helper.
You Jingwu gave the four turtle males tea to drink, but the four turtle males couldn't drink it. Because the four turtles thought that You Jingwu was their opponent.
An old killer who has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, he is naturally alert. This is called a profession.
Fat Turtle said: "We're still thirsty." The tea of the post station is worthy of the official master. Those of us who are inferior to the ninth-rate do not deserve to drink. Thank you for your kindness. ”
You Jingwu frowned, and said in his heart: These four people refuse to drink tea. If you want to capture it alive, there is no other way, use force.
So You Jingwu took advantage of the excuse to go to Tongpu.
Due to the transfer of Basha and six wrestlers to his bedroom to protect Liang Bohong, there were only more than 40 brocade guards left in the shop. There are also three Wang Yi's retinues.
You Jingwu ordered twenty wrestlers and came to the hall.
You Jingwu said angrily at the four turtle dukes: "I said that you are very familiar!" You are the ocean thieves of Jiangnan! In Cixi County, under my rule, I committed a major case of murder and overhauling! What's the matter, now pretending to be a turtle boy to hide your identity? ”
"It's really nowhere to find it, and it takes no effort to get it! Come on, take the four of them down for me. Wait for the rain to stop and escort back to Beijing and send it to the Criminal Department! ”
The fat turtle man reacted immediately, and the identity of his killer was discovered by You Jingwu.
The fat turtle boy laughed and said, "Heh, you want to arrest us? ”
"Smack"! Fat Turtle Gong opened the big box beside him.
In the big box, there were three barrels of gunpowder!
The fourth prince of Xie served as an official in the Governor's Mansion. Naturally, it was not difficult to get three barrels of gunpowder.
Another turtle boy picked up a candle on the table and placed it next to the gunpowder fuse.
The fat turtle said fairly: "Don't move anyone!" Let's go to the west together! Do you think the poisonous yellow finch is a waste of fame? ”
Lu Dahu walked down from the second floor: "The poisonous yellow finch has been caught by me." Don't be stubborn! ”
The fat turtle sneered: "Heh, do you think the poisonous yellow finch is the woman on the bed on the second floor?" Let me tell you, the poisonous yellow finch is never one person, but five people! ”
"The four of us are also poisonous yellow finch! Don't move, my brother's hand shakes, and everyone is done together! This is the gunpowder used in the Hongwu iron cannon in the Beijing camp. ”
"If the three barrels are blown up together, the entire post station will be razed to the ground!"
It is worthy of being a killer in the five northern provinces. People come prepared.
They have already made up their minds, if the assassination fails, they will threaten You Jingwu with the same fate and hand over Liang Bohong.
Fat Turtle shouted, "Now give you two choices." One, hand over Liang Bohong! Second, let's all die together and be a companion on Huangquan Road! ”
"We are lowly killers. If we can pull fifty brocade guards before we die, and the righteous son of the butcher as a backing, we will make a lot of money! ”
Fat Turtle Gong shouted, You Jingwu can be regarded as a goof.
Yi Cheng had a frightened expression on his face, and asked with a long mouth: "Yu Zhixian, are you. Jin Yiwei? ”
You Jingwu didn't take care of the money-hungry poster. He shouted to the four turtle dukes, "I advise you not to do anything stupid. As you said earlier, there are fifty brocade-robed guards in this station. You can't run! ”
The fat turtle said fairly: "Then we will all die, there is nothing to say." We're actually peers. It's all work with your head pinned to your belt. To live to this day, we have already earned! ”
After speaking, the fat turtle boy gave the accomplice holding the candle a look. The accomplices shouted, "Brothers, goodbye in the next life!" "He will light the fuse of gunpowder.
Lu Dahu shouted: "Wait! ”
You Jingwu looked at Lu Dahu.
Lu Dahu said: "Master Chang gave a death order and got ironclad evidence of the Xie family's assassination of the criminal officer. The premise is to ensure your safety. ”
"If you can only choose one of the two, Chang Shuai Ye commanded, you must choose You Ye your peace!"
