The winter night in Pinghe City is so charming, and the tranquility and comfort of walking around this city are endlessly memorable. There are many places worth savoring here, but since Taihao came to Pinghe City, he has not had the time and mood to enjoy the night view here. It is now the third watch, but the front hall of the deputy general's mansion is still brightly lit.

"But I don't want Senior Brother Dumb to accompany you, because we also have important things to do." Nian Yu said aggrievedly.

Tai Hao asked, "Senior sister, what do you and Senior Brother Dumb Shan have to do?" ”

Nianyu thought for a long time, and said slowly: "We...... We're going to find Master......"

After hearing this, Taihao was speechless for a while. sighed: "To be honest, I also want to see Master, but Senior Brother Dumb Shan and Miss Qiyu went to Niangniangtan this time, but they didn't see Master, Master has already left there!" ”

Nian Yu said: "Master is looking for Senior Brother Fuyi, Master is old, there is no apprentice by his side, in case there is a physical loss, there is no apprentice to take care of, what can I do?" ”

As she spoke, her eyes filled with tears. Seeing this scene, Tai Hao was moved in his heart, but he still held back the sadness in his heart and comforted: "When Master accepted me as an apprentice, he told me about you, you have been following Master since you were a child, and you will definitely miss him after being separated for so long, I know this, so I planned to finish the affairs of Pinghe City, so I went to find Master, took him to Pinghe City, and took good care of him, so that his old man could spend his old age in peace." Nian Yu nodded when he heard this, and Tai Hao continued: "But at the moment, I don't know where the master is, where are you going to find it." Besides, recently Yao Fuji ...... "Tai Hao just wanted to say that Yao Fuji planted his eyeliner in the mansion, and now the entourage of the deputy general's mansion can't leave the city, and he will be secretly arrested by Yao Fuji and put in prison." But when I thought of Mao Ru sitting next to me, it was definitely not appropriate to say it directly in front of Miss Mao Ru.

Nian Yu asked, "What's wrong with Yao Fuji recently?" ”

Tai Hao pondered for a moment and continued: "It's not much, it's just that Pinghe City is too unsafe now, and I think the matter of finding the master will wait until later." ”

Mao Ru on the side suddenly got up and bowed to Tai Hao and said, "Lord Tai Hao, it seems that it is inconvenient for the dumb big brother, it is better for the little girl to go alone, I will set off early tomorrow morning." After speaking, he said goodbye to Taihao and walked out of the front hall.

Tai Hao looked at Mao Ru and walked out, thinking to himself: "It's okay to let her leave by herself, after all, we haven't been together for a long time, and I haven't figured out the details of her, Yao Fuji must have a purpose in sending her to the Deputy General's Mansion, and if she stays in the mansion, she will definitely have a lot of dreams at night." ”

Seeing this, Nian Yu thought that he had just said the wrong thing, and was just about to explain to Taihao. Tai Hao spoke to Nian Yu first, "You definitely don't know why I asked an entourage to follow her. ”

Hearing this, Nian Yu's heart moved and asked, "Why?" Tai Hao saw her puzzled look, so he said: "Now Pinghe City is not very peaceful, the city lord Yao Fuji has long been plotting against him, since we just arrived in Pinghe City, Yao Fuji has placed his eyeliner in the deputy general's mansion and reported to him our every move. A few days ago, I asked Brother Gu Sheng to go out of the city and rush to the capital to deliver a letter, but as soon as Brother Gu Sheng left the city gate, he was caught and put in prison by the killers sent by Yao Fuji. Yao Fuji no longer trusts me now, and all the entourage, officers and soldiers, and family members in the Adjutant General's Mansion have been secretly monitored by Yao Fuji. And at this time, Miss Mao Ru still has to leave the Deputy General's Mansion, and I have to suspect that she is one of the fine works sent by Yao Fuji! ”

"I see, no wonder I think there's something wrong with her these days." Nian Yu nodded, and asked again: "That...... Did I do something wrong just now? ”

Tai Hao shook his head and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, it's that I'm not thoughtful, in fact, I just want to ask Senior Brother Dumb Shan for his opinion first." He paused and continued: "However, I am also worried about you, don't forget the incident of being caught by the 'Four Little Ghosts' in Fengling City, the ghost root in the 'Four Little Ghosts' has been killed by me, and may come to the door to seek revenge at any time, if you leave here now, if you meet them, you will also be in the mouth of a sheep." ”

Nian Yu nodded: "Well, it's my idea that is too impulsive, let's do it according to your wishes." ”

When Tai Hao said this, his eyes kept looking at Nian Yu, with a worried look on his face, as if he wanted to persuade a few more words, but after seeing Nian Yu nodding his head, he stopped talking. And Nian Yu looked at him with a bit of anticipation in his eyes. After a long time, Tai Hao suddenly sighed, stood up and continued: "I mean I want Senior Brother Dumb Shan to accompany her, if she is really a fine work sent by Yao Fuji, there must be a secret in her leaving at this time." If she hadn't been sent by Yao Fuji, it would have been our duty to let Senior Brother Dumb Shan accompany her all the way to arrive safely, and it could be regarded as helping her grandfather find her. ”

Nian Yu nodded in agreement, and then asked, "So when are they leaving?" ”

"Leave early tomorrow morning." Tai Hao continued: "I also want to ask Senior Brother Dumb Shan if he is willing to accompany Miss Mao Ru on the trip?" ”

Nian Yu conveyed these words to the dumb shan sitting next to him, and the dumb shan saw that this was the arrangement, and used the dumb language to draw why not go to the master together. Nian Yu also told Dumb Shan about the fact that it was easy to meet the "Four Little Ghosts" when he went to find his master, and Dumb Shan had no choice but to nod and agree.

Seeing this, Taihao bowed his hand and thanked the dumb kindness. He also asked Nian Yu to send a message to Dumb Shan: "Mao Ru is very likely to be a spy sent by Yao Fuji to the deputy general's mansion, if you find anything unusual about her, come back and report it in time." ”

Then he said to Nian Yu: "Senior sister, there have been too many things recently, I have really experienced what it means to be in the past few days, and I will trouble you to inform Miss Maoru about this later, and I will say that Senior Brother Dumb has agreed to accompany her back to Fengling City." Looking at the night outside the door, he sighed and said, "Tomorrow morning, you will send them on the road instead of me, I have other things to do." ”

Nian Yu heard his tiredness and helplessness from his words. Nian Yu knew that Taihao must have more important things to do, so he didn't continue to ask.

Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Taihao took Ju Yu and six retinues to go out of the city to hunt according to the plan set yesterday. Half an hour later, Mao Ru and Dumb Shan also went out, ready to set off for Fengling City. Another hour passed, and Onishi dressed up and went out according to the plan. On this day, after they left, only Shaoling and Nianyu were left in the house.

Let's talk about Daxi first, Shaoling's strategy yesterday was a bitter plan. And in addition to Onishi, there is also an ordinary person who suffers from this flesh and skin.

Onishi dressed up as a drunkard, with unkempt hair all over his body. When I walked into a wine shop, I shouted at the door: "Shopkeeper, hurry up and drink!" ”

Xiao Er was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "The guest officer is dining here?" I don't know what you ordered? ”

"Bring me the best wine you've ever had!" Xiao Er was stunned, and if he looked carefully at Daxi's dress, he definitely didn't have any money on him. Xiao Er was dismissive of him, and asked contemptuously: "Where is the name Hanako, do you have money, you just want to drink our best wine?" ”

When Daxi heard this, he immediately became furious: "Okay, you little two, you dare to talk to Lao Tzu like this, let you take it!" "After speaking, I will start beating that little two. Seeing this, the drinker on the side hurriedly said: "If you have money, take it out, and if you don't have money, get out!" Look at your poor and sour appearance, you don't have any money on you! With that, the drinker looked at him with a sneer.

When Onishi heard this, he immediately felt humiliated. stepped forward, slammed over the drinker's table, and scolded: "Where did you come from, you dare to laugh at me, see if I don't kill you today." With that, he raised his fist and threw it at the other man, but the drinker dodged lightly and avoided Onishi's fist. Onishi continued to step forward and raised his fists, and the two of them scuffled together in an instant. At this time, the shopkeeper of this wine shop also rushed over, and saw that the two drinkers were about to fight, so he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him to fight.

"Don't be impulsive!" The shopkeeper saw that the two were making a fierce fuss, and hurriedly shouted. Onishi and the drinker did not stop and continued to fight, and by this time the side was already surrounded by drinkers watching the excitement.

Seeing that Onishi was unrelenting, the drinker directly kicked Onishi to the ground, and was about to step forward to punch Onishi a few more times, but Onishi didn't know when he felt a dagger from his body. I saw that he held a dagger in his hand and stabbed the drinker in the heart. A scream rang out, and the drinker was killed on the spot.

At this time, when the surrounding onlookers saw this situation, they all exclaimed: "He's dead, he's dead!" ”

A group of drinkers flocked to hold Onishi down, and the shopkeeper hurriedly asked the guys in the store to go to the yamen to report to the official. After a while, four servants came to the inn, and one of them asked, "What happened here, and who died?" A shopkeeper hurriedly replied, "Lord Hui, the two of them were fighting just now, but he stabbed the drinker to death." As he spoke, he pointed to Onishi, who was crushed to the ground.

The official nodded, and ordered the two officials to clean up the body, and he and the other official escorted Onishi away. When Onishi was escorted away, he kept shouting, "I want to drink...... I'm going to drink......"

As soon as the two officials carrying the bodies walked out of the door of the liquor store, they were stopped by a middle-aged woman and a young woman. The middle-aged woman shouted, "Be in charge, be in charge...... What's wrong with you, who did it, you just came out for a drink, why did you die? The young woman next to her also hugged the corpse and shouted, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" ”

Seeing this, one of them discussed with the other: "The facts of this case are also clear, there is no need to check the corpse, just take the two shopkeepers in the liquor store to testify, it is better to return the corpse directly to the mother and daughter, what do you think?" ”

The other official nodded, and they put the body on the ground, let the two women carry it away, and then returned to the liquor store, and took away the two shopkeepers who had just been at the scene of the murder, and asked them to go to the yamen to testify.

In fact, the drinker and the two women were all disguised by the family members and maids in the adjutant general's mansion, and after discussing the plan yesterday, Onishi arranged everything, and two of the four officials were also bought by Onishi. The drinker pretended to be stabbed, but in fact he had already placed a bag of pig's blood in pig's belly in his heart, all for the purpose of making the plan go smoothly.
