Chapter 144: Procrastination
His eyes flickered, showing fear: "Liu Pei, I can't stay anymore." ”
Duan Fang looked at him directly, as if he was evaluating it from the bottom of his heart. Yan Saburo's eyes widened, staring at him blankly, and Chitose's soft voice sounded in his ears: "Stinky boy, you are taking risks." ”
Be. Yan Saburo also knew that if it was Duan Fang who released Hu Wenqing, this lie would be exposed by him immediately, and his life would be immediately lost.
But can you live without taking risks? Duan Fang was already suspicious, and Fang Cai was the first to kill him, and he didn't want to give him a chance to speak at all.
Besides, Duan Fang had already tested him many times before, so there was no need to use Hu Wenqing again. It's worth the risk.
After a while, Duan Fang said slowly: "Who does the shopkeeper want to use you to test?"
"You. Yan Saburo did not shy away from it, "I vaguely heard that the shopkeeper said that you had something to do with the interception and murder case a few days ago." ”
Duan Fang sighed: "The shopkeeper is suspicious." ”
Yan Saburo felt that his murderous aura seemed to ease down, and he knew that he had made the right bet.
Hu Wenqing really wasn't released by him. But he had already dealt a death blow to Yan Saburo, did he want to do it all the time? Yan Saburo looked at the sky, it was not dark yet, "By the way, how do you know my whereabouts? You were not in the Chamber of Commerce all day today." ”
The only way to do this is to procrastinate.
"Isn't it conspicuous enough for a 10-year-old child to buy a horse at a post station alone? Not to mention that after the Hu Wenqing incident, you are also a celebrity in Liupei County. You just bought a horse on the front foot, and I heard about it on the back foot. ”
Yan Saburo understood that Duan Fang had his own power in Liu Peicheng, and he was not as alone as he appeared on the surface.
Duan Fang said again: "How do you know that the shopkeeper will send someone to chase after him?"
"I, I left a note in the yard to quit the rent. Yan Saburo smiled bitterly, "Thinking about it now, I'm so stupid." "He should have left no one knowing, and Dashun would have found the note he had left in the courtyard in a few days. It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, as if all the troubles broke out on this day.
He left a word to quit the rent, and waited until he told Ma Hongyue that he had slipped away. Then before the chasing soldiers catch up, he has to buy himself a little more time and let Duan Fang sanitize the idea of killing!
Without waiting for the end to speak, he glanced left and right, revealing a little impatience: "Can I go?" I'm afraid he knows about the accounts like this. ”
Duan Fang frowned slightly: "What account?"
Yan Saburo pursed his lips before saying: "A few days ago, the account room was done by Steward Xu alone, and he went out in a hurry halfway, I was curious, and I looked at it twice......"
Duan Fang's eyes flashed: "What kind of account is that?"
"It's like a year-end count. I wondered why the accounts at the end of last year were only done in the middle of the year, and if I looked closely, there were a few items on it that were a little different from what I knew, but they were not obvious. Yan Saburo recalled, "I read more than ten pages, and Ma Dongjia happened to come to Steward Xu and arrested me...... Now that I think about it, there is a problem with the account book, and the shopkeeper probably doesn't want people to know. ”
He thought for a moment and then added, "By the way, the account book is in sheepskin. ”
"I didn't do it until the middle of the year because the fake accounts had to be handed in in the middle of the year. Duan Fang suddenly smiled, "You tell me, how are the accounts ...... discrepancies?"
Before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly moved. The white cat also lay on Yan Saburo's back and said, "Someone is coming." ”
Yan Saburo's muscles immediately tensed, and the resentful wood sword could be summoned at any time. If Duan Fang still wants to kill him, this is the last chance before the person.
Chitose also said softly: "If he makes a move, you will jump off the cliff." ”
Yan Saburo: "......"
He has only just set foot in cultivation, and in the face of a combination of a proud son of heaven and a giant leopard who is close to the Yunxiu Peak of the Sand Sect, how much resistance can he have? Or Chitose is right, the survival rate of jumping off the cliff directly is a little greater.
Her voice was short and calm: "I'll try to save your life." ”
Yan Saburo didn't have time to think about what kind of way she could save her life with a spirit body, at this moment his heart was like a drum, and the real power dragon in the meridians was unprecedentedly lively, as if he knew that the battle of life and death was coming.
There was indeed a glimmer of light in Duan Fang's eyes, cold as ice, but it was fleeting.
Before he finished speaking, a carriage turned out from behind the col, followed by two guards.
Yan Saburo breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and cold sweat was dripping in his hands. Sure enough, Duan Fang calculated that the Western Chamber of Commerce was very interested in the sore feet and handles of Yang and Ma, and he should not take his life until the so-called false accounts were clarified.
But the boy immediately noticed that this team didn't seem to be a chasing soldier sent by Ma Hongyue, because Duan Fang's expression had relaxed, and it was unlikely that either Yang Hengxi or Ma Hongyue would use a carriage to chase people.
He suddenly asked again: "Where is the courtyard of the Sun family, have you found anything?"
"Discovery?" Yan Saburo quickly shook his head, "Nothing." ”
Duanfang's eyes flashed, but the carriage was already approaching, so he could only stop: "Forget it, it's okay." ”
The group came to a halt in front of them, and the horses were afraid of the leopard and did not want to come forward.
Duan Fang actually jumped off the big leopard, stepped forward quickly, and went to the car door in person.
At this time, the golden leopard stayed honestly in place, and even lowered its body to not frighten the newcomer.
Chitose snorted coldly. It's called wild and untamable?
The car door opened, and although the light was a little dim, from Yan Saburo's point of view, he could see that there was a lot of space inside, but there was only one person sitting.
It was an old man in his eighties, with good clothes, a long beard, and a somewhat rickety back.
He rolled his drooping eyelids, looked at Duan Fang, and smiled.
Duan Fang said respectfully: "Why did you come over?"
Yan Saburo looked at the old man more carefully. You must know that even Yang Hengxi failed to make Duan Fang use honorifics.
But he really respects this old man.
"Aren't you afraid that you'll be in trouble?" the old man's eyes turned and fell on Yan Saburo, "You came in a hurry, just for this child?"
Duanfang's attitude was more respectful: "Yes." This is my grandson's friend at the Hengxi Chamber of Commerce. ”
As soon as the words fell, Yan Saburo immediately felt that the old man's face darkened. Fortunately, Duan Fang continued: "He was originally the little gentleman in the account room, and he caught a little trick from Ma Hongyue, Ma San sent someone to chase and kill him, and I rushed to see the situation." ”
The wrinkles on the old man's face were relaxed: "Can he help us bring Ma San here?"
"Quite possibly. Duan Fang added, "And he may also be our important witness." ”
Hearing this, Yan Saburo's eyes flickered.
The old man immediately said, "Great, let him get in the car." ”
