Chapter 18 The Blue Dragon Dart Game

The Qinglong Dart Bureau is located in the south of Lanzhou City, in addition to the palace, it is also one of the best mansions in Lanzhou City.

The owner and founder of the dart board is Guan Si old man, it is said that he came to Lanzhou City alone when he was a young man and opened this Qinglong dart board.

The scale of the dart game was very small, but Guan Si claimed to be the famous general Guan Yu of the Han Dynasty, and what he used was also a Qinglong Yanyue Daguan knife, and even the name of the dart game came from this.

No one knows whether he is the real descendant of Guan Yu, all people know is that he relied on the Daguan knife in his hand, went south and north to escort people, and successively killed more than ten gangs of Jiangyang thieves who wanted to rob the dart car, and the famous Jiangyang thieves in the rivers and lakes, since then, he has become famous. For decades, no cargo has been missed.

Later, the Qinglong Dart Bureau became famous, and the scale grew day by day, and finally became the leading dart bureau in the northwest region.

And Guan Si's fame is getting louder and louder, black and white all respect his martial arts and prestige, as for his original name, no one knows it.

His wife died young, leaving behind an eldest son, Guan Pengju. Later, he married a beautiful woman who was nearly 20 years younger than him, and had a second son, Guan Pengfei. It is said that this second son has been very intelligent since he was a child, and his talent is extremely high, and he is deeply loved by the old man. Now in his early twenties, the old man has entrusted most of the business of the dart game to him, as if he is already the successor of the future Qinglong dart game.

And his eldest son Guan Pengju is rumored to be mediocre in qualifications, and he is not valued by the old man.

Ye Feng thought to himself, it seems that there is indeed a huge disparity between the status of this mother's child and the motherless child.

But at this time, bad news came that the second son, Guan Pengfei, actually died! This is really unexpected.

On the way to follow Mr. Arazuki to the Qinglong Dart Bureau, Mr. Arabia Moon simply introduced the situation of the Qinglong Dart Bureau to Ye Feng.

He introduced it relatively briefly, but Ye Feng felt that his emotions were very unusually nervous and flustered, and it seemed that the bad news of the second son of the Guan family had a deep impact on him.

Maybe it's because of concern? Mr. Arakitsuki said that he and Mr. Guan Si have been close friends for decades, like siblings.

However, Ye Feng still felt that although he was trying his best to suppress it, his nervousness and panic were still a little too much.

There is no reason, it is just a feeling, and Ye Feng's feeling has always been very accurate.

As soon as he heard that there had been a murder, and that it was the fourth old man's house of the Qinglong Dart Bureau that he was going to find, Ye Feng immediately asked Xie Zhenliang to rush back to the inn first, and brought Cheng Nianzhen to the Qinglong Dart Bureau.

I can't say why, but he just feels that the murder of the Guan family may not be simple, Cheng Nianzhen's medical skills and her unique method of examining corpses Ye Feng have all seen it, and maybe she can help.

Not long after, the carriage carrying Mr. Arrenyue and Ye Feng came to the door of the Qinglong Dart Bureau.

The gate of the Qinglong Dart Bureau is also very magnificent, and the two stone lions on the left and right of the door are vaguely similar to the two in front of King Su's Mansion, and they may be from the hands of the same craftsman. In front of the door, there is a flagpole several feet high, which is also very imposing.

But at this moment, the two stone lions were hung with white cloths, and the high flagpole no longer fluttered with majestic dart flags, but hung with miserable white spirit flags. The people at the door are hurriedly arranging and hanging white cloths everywhere, indicating that the family is busy organizing the funeral.

Mr. Arazuki took Ye Feng and walked towards the door.

At this time, a scholar in his thirties in the door, wearing a white cloth robe and a linen belt tied around his waist, saw Mr. Arakizuki, and hurriedly greeted him, and greeted him with a deep salute: "Mr. is here, the younger brother is newly mourned, and there are many affairs at home, so I can't take care of it for a while, and I don't have to greet him at the door, which is really rude." ”

When Ye Feng heard this, this scholar should be the deceased's half-brother, the eldest young master of the Qinglong Dart Bureau, Guan Pengju.

He couldn't help but frown secretly.

You must know that according to the ancient rites, when a brother dies, a man should wear a linen mourning dress and a white crown of linen, which is called "Qi Decline", and this costume must be worn for a year at the earliest, and then it was changed to March.

Even if the Ming Dynasty no longer respects this ancient rite and no longer follows the old ways, but when doing funerals, linen mourning clothes and white crowns are always worn.

And now the eldest prince of Guan Pengju in front of him, not only does he not wear a white crown, but he doesn't even wear a linen mourning dress, but he just wears a white cloth robe and counts, which shows that he doesn't attach so much importance to the death of his brother, maybe the relationship between him and this newly mourned brother is actually not so harmonious.

Guan Pengju's attitude here was respectful, but Mr. Arakitsuki didn't buy it for some reason, just glanced at him coldly, snorted from his nose, and asked in a deep voice: "How could such a thing happen? How did your brother die?"

Guan Pengju said with some sadness: "Pengfei escorted the dart car out this time, and there was nothing wrong all the way, but unexpectedly, on the way back, he was killed last night in a post station only more than 20 miles away from Lanzhou City!"

Mr. Arakizuki's face was a little distorted with excitement, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Who did it?"

Guan Pengju shook his head and said: "The fellow dart masters only found out that Peng Fei had died in his room early this morning, and there was no trace of his hands in the room, only that he was killed by a fast sword piercing his throat, as for the identity of the murderer, there is really no way to know." ”

Although there was a deep sadness in his tone, Ye Feng on the side looked at him coldly, and there was really no trace of pain in his eyes.

Mr. Arakitsuki obviously noticed this as well, and he stared at Guan Pengju coldly, not saying a word.

It took him a long time before he asked, "Where is the fourth brother now?"

The "fourth brother" in his mouth naturally refers to the old man Guan Si, he and Guan Si have been friends for decades like brothers and sisters, and what he is most concerned about at this moment is, of course, the situation of the old man who has just experienced the pain of losing his son.

Guan Pengju sighed, with a look of grief on his face: "My father suddenly heard the bad news of Peng Fei, and saw Peng Fei's corpse again, he couldn't withstand such a blow, he had a stroke and fell to the ground, and now he is delirious, half of his body is paralyzed, and he is bedridden." ”

At this time, Mr. Arazuki and Ye Feng were both taken aback, and Mr. Arazuki was almost roaring: "What?!, why don't you hurry up and take us to see him!"

Guan Peng bowed down and answered "yes", then turned around and led the two guests to the inner courtyard unhurriedly.

Ye Feng looked at Guan Pengju's back in front of him, and secretly wondered in his heart.

This Guan Dagongzi has always had this polite attitude that is almost indifferent since they came in, as if in his heart, not only did he not feel sad about the sudden death of his younger brother and the paralysis of his father's stroke, but he felt nothing at all, and was even happy to see it.

He sneered in his heart, it seems that this Qinglong Dart Bureau, which is known as the No. 1 in the Northwest, this prominent Guan family, I am afraid that the hidden undercurrent is still very deep!

I walked through the front courtyard to the bedroom of the inner house, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw an old man lying on the bed, and only a maid beside him was feeding him medicine.

The old man's beard was unkempt and his expression was sluggish, and his eyes stared blankly at the roof above the bed, and his mouth made a hehe sound, and at first glance he knew that his mind was a little unclear. The spoonfuls of potion fed by the maid next to him all overflowed down the corners of her mouth, and flowed onto her beard and placket, making a large piece of wetness.

Ye Feng sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that this old man is the famous Guan Si old man. The loss of a child in old age is the most painful part of life, and it is no wonder that the elderly will not be able to bear it, and they will suffer a stroke due to anger.

Mr. Arakitsuki glanced around the room and asked in a deep voice, "Why isn't Madame here?"

Guan Pengju still replied politely: "Erniang was very sad because of her brother's death, and she was still crying in the mourning hall at the moment, so she didn't come." ”

Mr. Arakitsuki snorted, as if he was very dissatisfied with his wife's practice of leaving her husband alone, and then he stepped forward quickly, leaned down and reached out to hold the hand of the fourth old man on the bed, and called out repeatedly: "Fourth brother, fourth brother, why are you like this?

Guan Si's eyes were still staring at the roof lifelessly, and he didn't react at all.

Guan Pengju said with some sadness on the side: "My father has completely failed to respond to other people's words since he fell to the ground from a stroke, and he doesn't know anyone now. ”

Mr. Arazuki called several times in a row, and saw that there was really no response, so he had to give up, stood up, turned back to Guan Pengju and asked, "Have you asked Lang Zhong to see it, what did Lang Zhong say?"

Guan Pengju sighed bitterly and said: "Early in the morning, I went to invite the old man Lang Zhong from Baicaotang in the city to take a look, and Lang Zhong said that my father was hit too hard and couldn't accept it for a while, which would lead to stroke hemiplegia. Even if I can recover some consciousness in the next few years, I am afraid it will be difficult to stand up. ”

Mr. Arazuki couldn't help but be silent, the chief dart head of the dignified Qinglong Dart Bureau, the old man Guan Si, who was known as the first in the northwest in terms of martial arts reputation, has now become a juicy embarrassment even after drinking medicine, and I am afraid that he will never be able to stand up in the future, as a person who practices martial arts, I am afraid that no one can accept such a reality.

After a moment of silence, Mr. Arakitsuki suddenly asked sharply, "Why did you invite the old man of the Baicao Hall, why didn't you invite Imperial Doctor Jian?"

Guan Pengju said with some hesitation: "Imperial Doctor Jian has made a fuss because of the recent misdiagnosis of Ma Jianjun, so he didn't invite him to the old man's house. ”

This is reasonable, for a doctor, misdiagnosis is indeed a great stain, not only to damage his reputation, but also to lose the patient's confidence in him. At this time, there will probably be no one to ask him for a consultation.

Ye Feng suddenly felt a trace of guilt in his heart for Imperial Physician Jian at this time, it was precisely because of their design that Ma Jing's poisoning was a typhoid fever disease, which would make Imperial Physician Jian's reputation discredited and lose face.

But why is this Imperial Physician Jian willing to acquiesce in the misdiagnosis and bear such a bad result, rather than expose the truth to detoxify Ma Jing? With his medical skills, of course, he knows that the so-called typhoid fever is complete nonsense, what kind of unspeakable secrets are hidden in him?

Mr. Arakitsuki didn't seem to have anything to say about this explanation, his voice softened a little, and asked, "Where is Pengfei's body?" ”

Guan Pengju was stunned for a moment, glanced at Ye Feng, and said, "Mr. wants to see the body of his brother, and he should obey his fate." But this son, I don't know ......"

Ye Feng then remembered that since he entered the Qinglong Dart Bureau, he had never introduced his identity.

He stepped forward and was about to introduce himself, but Mr. Arakitsuki said coldly: "His Royal Highness King Su attaches great importance to this matter after hearing about it, this Young Master Ye is a guest of His Royal Highness King Su, and he was ordered by His Highness to come to investigate the situation. Could it be that you still have any suspicions about His Royal Highness King Su's people?"

Mr. Arakitsuki has been working for His Royal Highness King Su in recent years, and he said that Ye Feng is a person from His Royal Highness King Su, and others naturally believe it.

Hearing that Ye Feng was a person sent by His Royal Highness King Su, Guan Pengju's face changed suddenly, and he said in a loud voice, "How dare you, how dare you", turned around and led the two to the mourning hall to pay homage to his brother's body.

Ye Feng walked behind, secretly amused in his heart, judging from Guan Pengju's expression, in Lanzhou City, this signboard of His Royal Highness King Su is really easy to use, and everyone should be in awe.

It's just that he doesn't understand, why does Mr. Arakitsuki insist that he is the person specially sent by His Royal Highness King Su to investigate?

Could it be that Mr. Arazuki still has any questions in his heart about what happened to the Qinglong Dart Bureau now?
