Qufu, in the back hall garden.

Naqu Changqing was lying lazily on the rocking chair, enjoying the afterglow and sipping tea carefully.

"My lord! Oh no......! ”

The master hurriedly ran over, stepped forward and pressed Qu Changqing's ear, I don't know what to say, after Qu Changqing heard it, his face became very ugly, and he slammed the coffee table in his hand to the ground, scolding: "Waste! All fucking bunch of shit! It's a mess! Let the county end up with it! ”

At this time, he occasionally felt that something was missing in his hands, and when he looked at the debris in front of him, he realized that he had just been angry and smashed the treasure pot that he had cherished for many years. He got up and squatted down, carefully picked up the fragments, showed a pity on his face, and said, "It's a pity that this fine pot was smashed like this by this county." ”

"Now that we provoke him, we all have to die!" Qu Changqing looked at the master behind him angrily.

"Don't worry, my lord, they would never have imagined that those killers were actually sent by us." The master smiled incomprehensibly.

"Why are you so sure?" Qu Changqing stopped the movement in his hand and looked at the master obliquely.

"In case the matter is revealed, the little one let each of them take the life-boosting pill in advance. Once the mission fails, you can bite through this pill and die on the spot, so that others have no chance to interrogate at all. ”

"What if someone escapes!"

"Don't worry, sir. After following adults for so many years, do you have to learn a little bit! The little one not only sent someone to sneak and kill, but also someone helped him in the dark, in case someone escaped, it would be better to send him to the end, but he would never ruin your reputation because of him! The master said confidently.

"Hmmm! Well done! Qu Changqing got up, his eyes narrowed slightly into a thin line, revealing the cold light, looking up to the sky, and said: "Fortunately, eyeliner has been laid everywhere in this county, are you afraid that they will do something to this county?" ”

"But my lord, this Ushu City has been unusual lately!"

"Why do you say that?"

I saw that the master Fan Chong was close to Qu Changqing's ear again, and whispered.

"Humph! People block and kill! Buddha blocks and kills Buddha! If they dare to harm the good deeds of this county, this county will never spare them! ”

"I heard a rumor in the rivers and lakes: 'The one who wins the pearl wins the world!' If you can get the pearl, it is the supreme magic weapon! When the time comes, will the wind be windy, the rain will be rainy, are you still afraid of him as a little devil? Even if he has nine or ten, we will kill him! And how much more than groveling to do things for him now! The master thought for a while, and then continued: "If the little one guessed correctly, presumably these people are also here for the pearl." ”

"But where are the man and the woman you just spoke of?"

"As far as the little one knows, these two people are still in the Yuelai Inn, do you want to take these two down?"

"Nope! In broad daylight, without evidence, with these two people, it is easy to have an accident! ”

"What do you mean, sir......"

"The county is going to visit in person!" After that, Qu Changqing changed into civilian clothes, hung a jade pendant on his waist, held a folding fan in his hand, and walked towards the Yuelai Inn with a few attendants.

"Yo! Isn't this Master Qu! Come to the Humble House, you will not be welcomed! Disrespectful! Disrespectful! The shopkeeper saw Qu Changqing stepping on the door, immediately walked out of the counter, greeted him with a smile, and urged the shopkeeper to say, "Quick!" Fast! Fast! Prepare a good tea for adults! ”

I saw Qu Changqing shaking the folding fan at this time, and the room was exploring everywhere. Seeing that the shopkeeper came out to greet him, he smiled and walked in with him.

"My lord, please come inside!" The shopkeeper took Qu Changqing into a chic and elegant room.

Qu Changqing took a closer look left and right, and then sat down.

"Shopkeeper, is your business in this store still quite hot!"

"Hey, hey, hey...! It's all thanks to adults! If there are no adults who handle the case impartially and eliminate violence and peace, how can there be a small today! ”

"Hmmm! I didn't expect you to be quite good at talking! Yes! Hahaha......! ”

"Hey, hey...! Adults have won the prize! ”

"If the county asks you, you have to answer truthfully! You know! Qu Changqing immediately put away his smiling face and asked the shopkeeper very seriously.

"The little ones know! Know! ”

"Do you have a man and a woman in this shop, dressed in strange costumes, and live here for a long time?"

"...... this?" The shopkeeper didn't quite understand what Qu Changqing meant.

"My lord means strange costumes!" The master couldn't stand it anymore, and reminded the shopkeeper in particular.

When the shopkeeper saw the clothes that the master was referring to, he immediately understood what he meant, and hurriedly replied: "Yes! Yes! Yes! ”

"Where?"

"The second floor, the second word, that's it."

"Hmm!"

Seeing Qu Changqing's satisfied smile, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Remember! If you are asked, don't tell anyone about it! So as not to save your life! The master gently patted the shopkeeper's chest and emphasized in a soft voice.

"Yes! Be! The little ones won't say it! The shopkeeper was frightened, and while wiping his sweat, he quickly nodded in response.

Qu Changqing walked with a few attendants towards the number room in the west building.

"Bang! Syllable! Syllable......! ”

There was a knock at the door, and the two immediately became cautious.

Wang Yu asked tentatively, "Who?" ”

"Oh! Under is Yuzhou City and County Order Qu Changqing, I heard that the two came to this Yuzhou City, the official came to visit the two, I don't know if the two can give the official a little thin noodles, meet the two, how? ”

Seeing Qu Changqing's visit, it would be too rude to turn him away from him. The two knew that he was scheming, so as not to be criticized by idlers, so they agreed to him.

"Squeak-squeak——!"

The door was opened by Wang Yu.

"I didn't know if the adults arrived! How offensive it is! Forgiveness! Forgiveness! The two pretended not to know and made amends to Qu Changqing.

"You don't have to be polite! Is the so-called ignorant innocent? Hurry up, please! Please! Qu Changqing helped the two of them up, and then found a place to sit down.

"You're welcome! Hurry up, please take a seat! Have a seat! Looking at the two people standing in front of him, Qu Changqing hurriedly smiled.

The two looked at each other, and then sat down.

"I don't know why the two of you came to Uzhou City?"

"My father and mother passed away, and I came to pay tribute to my father and mother, and by the way, I also expressed my condolences to my relatives and friends."

"I don't know if Lord Lingzun is ......"

"Not bad! It is the victims of this case. ”

"It is the responsibility of the official to kill Lord Lingzun! Poor management allowed the thieves to take advantage of the opportunity to enter the village, and only then did they brew today's disaster! For this reason, the official cannot eat the sun! Can't sleep at night! Fortunately, God has eyes, so that this official can meet a noble son! As he spoke, Qu Changqing said to the master: "Someone! A small gift for the two of you! ”

I saw the attendant holding a heavy object in his hand, and the contents of the plate were covered with blood-red gauze, and I don't know what it was. It was only when the master lifted the blood-red gauze that he saw that it was several gold ingots.

"This is a piece of the official's heart, I hope the two of you can laugh at it." Qu Changqing sighed, and continued: "Such a tragic murder has occurred in the jurisdiction of this official! It's really a dereliction of duty! Fortunately, I met your son today, and I hope to make up for my mistakes! To show the guilt of the official these days! ”

"Your Excellency! We must not accept this thing, the so-called no merit is not punished, how dare the two of us be greedy for this windfall, and hope that the adults can take it back. ”

"Alas...! The two of them don't know, in addition, the official has something to ask for, and I hope the two can help! Help the official get rid of these thieves! ”

"I don't know what the adults are talking about......"

"It is rumored that these thieves are border bandits, and their martial arts are very good, and the official suspects that these thieves must have nothing to do with this case. If the two of them help each other, I believe that the truth of this case will be revealed as soon as possible. ”

"But the beggar ......"

"In order to prevent the news from being revealed, they secretly sent killers to sneak into the cell in the middle of the night and kill them. In desperation, the official could only close the case by suicide. If the officials had known sooner, they would have succeeded! ”

"I don't know where the thief is ...... you are talking about."

"The village granite outside the city, according to the report of the county's spies, said that this gang of thieves will gather in the Wulipu of the village grane in this night. This is the best chance to catch them all. If you take down these thieves tonight, you two will have done a great job! When the time comes, this official will definitely go to the court to add officials to the knighthood for the two to praise the two! I don't know what the two of you think? ”

"This..."Wang Yu couldn't help but move his gaze to Senior Sister Su Xin.

"Don't worry, sir! We're here to help! Help the adults get rid of the traitors early! Su Xin agreed in one bite.

"So good! This official has thanked the two of you first! After Qu Changqing finished speaking, he left the gold ingot and took people away.

Looking at the two who left, Wang Yu closed the door tightly.

"Senior sister! Even the girl knows that this person is treacherous and sinister, and she is ruthless! How could you be so gullible about him? Wang Yu was a little angry, and he didn't understand why the senior sister agreed so happily.

"Senior sister, if I don't agree to him, the eyeliner planted around us will not leave. If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger. What if this matter is really related to the life and death of your father! Wouldn't we have been able to bring the murderers to justice sooner rather than later? Su Xin looked at Wang Yu, who was speechless, and said, "Senior sister, I understand, you are afraid that I will fall into their trap. But this is also the only chance, for the sake of your deceased father, I am duty-bound, because this is my promise to your father, sister. ”

"But last night, didn't you already promise that Pu Gongzi? How-"

"I just had to lie to her. Besides, I know you kid won't leave it alone. The more mysterious she says, the more you'll want to see the truth of the matter. ”

Su Xin recalled the scene when she and her little brother Wang Yu were paid tribute at the grave.

Wang Yu's eyes were a little red. looked at the senior sister in front of him and said, "I'm sorry! Senior sister, it's all my fault, it's me who has tired you! ”

"Look! What a man! Still crying? I'm not afraid of other people's jokes. Although Su Xin said this, she didn't forget to wipe her tears for Wang Yu, and said, "What about you!" You have to understand, senior sister, I am not so easy to defeat. What about you! Just stay here with peace of mind, and when the senior sister comes back, we will go back to the master together. ”

After Wang Yu carefully listened to the people around him, he took out the letter paper and the golden dragon handkerchief from his arms.

"Why are these still with you, I didn't see that you have been-" Su Xin was a little surprised.

"Don't hide it from Senior Sister, I already expected it at the beginning. At first, the trail we encountered in front of the house was likely to be followed, so I had a better look. Sure enough, when we went up the mountain to pay respects to our father and mother that day, someone was around us. So, I did what I planned and buried it in front of my father's stele in front of him. ”

"What's in the brocade box?"

"Clay, of course!"

"Huh! I didn't expect you to be quite smart. ”

"That's nature!" After saying that, he handed the letter paper and the golden dragon handkerchief to Su Xin, and said, "So, I hope that Senior Sister can hold it in case of emergency!" ”

"Are you afraid that they will be bad for me?"

"Can't rule it out!" Wang Yu continued to analyze: "I think they may also be here for this thing!" ”

"If that's the case, it's even more not!"

"Why!"

"Because you and I both know how important it is. They have been protecting this thing for generations, and if I give it out in exchange for a while, what difference will I have with those villains? Moreover, your own parents also died because of this thing. I don't want to bear the infamy of a lifetime! If something happens to me, you put him in the hands of the master, and the master will know what to do. ”

"Then senior sister, you-"

"Don't worry, I'll be fine! Now we want to escape, it's impossible. Only at night do we have a chance. Su Xin opened the window and glanced at the idlers in the corner of the street, and already had the answer in his heart.

"You mean—"

"Yes, after following them out of the city, go to the suburbs to borrow the cover of the woods and get out of their sight."

"What about you, senior sister?"

"If I don't cover up, you can't escape."

"But in that case, senior sister, you will-"

"Nothing! As I said, I am your senior sister, and you must obey my arrangement at any time. ”

"Okay, I promise you." Tears had already soaked his eyes.

"Men don't flick when they have tears, how can they shed tears so easily. It's like parting with life and death. You have to promise me that you will go back. Even if I do fall into their hands, they won't dare to do anything, so you can rest assured. ”

I don't know how long it took, with the faint fragrance, Wang Yu felt tired and fell asleep.

Looking at the sleeping Wang Yu, Su Xin glanced at it with a smile, put the letter on the table, and then left.

It was late at night, and there were not too many stars in the sky.

The village granite five miles outside the city is a little deserted. It is surrounded by pine forests as far as the eye can see. On a night when there is no moonlight, the whole forest is very strange. Only the sound of birds chirping in the shade of the trees made people a little panicked.

Suddenly, there seemed to be movement in the five-mile shop.

Several figures took advantage of the night to touch Wulipu, and one of them was still carrying a package, I don't know what it was.

Although it was late at night, Su Xin still saw it very clearly. The men were dressed in black, but they had a white circular mark carved on their bodies, which were marked on the black cloth on their left and right shoulders and forehead.

"Bang ——!"

Just as Su Xin stepped forward to take a closer look, she unexpectedly a fiery arrow flew in front of her eyes and was deeply embedded in the stump of the tree beside her. And the men in black have long since disappeared without a trace.

At the sound of the order, torches suddenly lit up around him, and he was trapped in it and couldn't get out.

[Test question: 1, why did the county magistrate Qu Changqing visit in person, and what was the purpose?

2. Will Suxin fall into their hands? What did Su Xin encounter in the end? 】
