When he came to the gate of Guo's mansion, Chu Mofeng found that there was not even a guard at the door, so he simply turned over and dismounted and stepped forward, knocking lightly on the beast ring on the door, and the knocking sound lingered back and forth in the silent night sky, but it seemed so abrupt.

After waiting for a moment, I heard a noisy sound of footsteps from inside the door, and then a voice said, "Who?"

"I was sent by Lord Liu Wuzhou, the Taishou of Mayi County, and I have something important to report to Guo Shoubei, and the matter is urgent, and I will quickly lead me to meet Guo Shoubei. Chu Mofeng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard someone asking, thinking that he couldn't let this Guo Cheng see his face clearly, and then took out a piece of white cloth from the jacket on the horse's back and quickly wrapped it around half of his face.

I saw the gate of the Guo Mansion squeak open, and a person who looked like a housekeeper walked out of it and looked at Chu Mofeng coldly and said, "I am the housekeeper of the Guo Mansion, do you have a warrant from Lord Liu Wuzhou or something else to prove that what you said is true? If there is no old man, he will arrest you and go to the prison." ”

"This is Lord Liu's token, please call Lord Guo quickly after checking it. Chu Mofeng handed over the jade pendant that he had obtained from Xiao Fang's arms before, pretending to be anxious and kept walking back and forth.

"Wait at the door, don't enter without permission. Taking the jade pendant handed over by Chu Mofeng, the housekeeper hurriedly turned around and ran towards the mansion.

After a while, he hurriedly ran back again, it seemed that Guo Cheng had confessed something to him, and his attitude towards Chu Mofeng's speech changed instantly, only to see this person say with a smile: "This little brother, please quickly follow me in to meet Lord Guo, who is waiting in the front hall." ”

Chu Mofeng nodded, followed the person to the front hall quickly, and saw a man with a majestic figure standing in the room, and when he heard someone coming in, this person hurriedly turned around and said, "I don't know if it is Lord Liu's messenger coming, I am far away to welcome all hopes for forgiveness." ”

Chu Mofeng waved his hand and said: "Lord Guo, the situation is urgent, we don't have to care about these customs, there have been several tragedies in Mayi County tonight, the murderer has fled from Mayi County to the direction of Yanmen County, Lord Liu sent troops to chase him, just in case the murderer escapes, I am specially sent to meet Lord Guo with a token, please send troops from the direction of Yanmen County to the direction of Mayi County to intercept it." ”

In fact, Chu Mofeng didn't know what Liu Wuzhou's arrangements were, so he could only make up nonsense according to the conjectures of the three people, and then Chu Mofeng briefly said what he was doing in Mayi County tonight.

After listening to Chu Mofeng's words, Guo Cheng pondered for a moment, then called a subordinate, instructed this person to prepare a horse and wait, and hurriedly turned to Chu Mofeng and said: "This brother has traveled a long distance and worked hard, it seems that the brother is still injured, I don't know if it is serious?"

"It's okay, it's just that at first, I was accidentally burned by the fire when I was fighting the fire with my lord, I don't know what else Lord Guo commanded?" Chu Mofeng shook his head, guessing in his heart what else this person had to say.

"No, in that case, please rest in my house for a while, and after I go and explain, let's go out of the city together. Guo Cheng looked at Chu Mofeng in front of him, and secretly pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife on his waist, thinking that if your kid agrees to rest with me, then you are definitely not the person sent by Liu Wuzhou, after all, the people under Liu Wuzhou have always been strictly disciplined, and if there is a major event, they will definitely return immediately after passing the message.

Although the movements in Guo Cheng's hands were hidden, they still did not escape Chu Mofeng's keen observation, seeing Guo Cheng pressing his hand on the handle of the knife, Chu Mofeng hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Lord Guo's words are different, since the villain came to deliver the message, the task is completed, he must return to Mayi County as soon as possible to return to Lord Taishou, please forgive me for not being able to accept the kindness of the adult, the situation is urgent, Lord Wanwang reorganized the troops and horses and quickly went out of the city, and the villain took a step forward and said goodbye." After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the gate of Guo's mansion.

Chu Mofeng guarded as he walked, clasping his right hand on the dagger at his waist, just waiting to be able to attack at any time if things changed. After walking a distance, I only heard Guo Cheng shouting behind him: "Then Guo will not leave you brother, let's see you in Mayi." ”

Hearing this, Chu Mofeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of the gate quickly, turned over his horse, and ran towards the boundless night.

At this time, Guo Cheng was already convinced that the person who came to report the news was Liu Wuzhou's people, and hurriedly went out of the mansion gate and rode on a horse to run towards the garrison camp.

Chu Mofeng, who was hiding on the side, couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene, thinking that this group of people was really stupid enough, and they were deceived out of the city in three or two sentences, looking at the backs of the officers and soldiers who were chaotic, Chu Mofeng tore off the white cloth strips on his face, turned around and walked in the direction of the inn.

Coming to the alley near the inn, Chu Mofeng looked up at the sky, estimating that it should be about the beginning of the end of the year, thinking that some shops should be open at four o'clock, so he thought about finding a place to rest for a while. Walking to a corner at the end of the alley, Chu Mofeng found a big stone at the door of a house, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted and sat on it.

After stretching for a long time, Chu Mofeng took out a water bladder from the jacket on the horse's back, opened the lid and poured a few sips, and then gave a long hiccup, and the whole person felt much more comfortable.

Sitting on the stone, Chu Mofeng thought to himself, Xiao Lizi was miserable by you this time, it was originally just a task to find out the news, who knew that there were so many branches, and after going back this time, he said that he would not give you a task. While he was slandering, Chu Mofeng vaguely heard someone talking on the other side of the corner, and couldn't help but prick up his ears and hold his breath to steal the sound.

I only heard a woman say: "Cousin, did you say that Brother Feng has tricked those soldiers out of the city now?"

"I don't know, I think with Brother Chu's ingenuity, he should have already succeeded. As soon as the woman's words fell, another woman's voice came from the side.

"But cousin, I'm curious, why did we come to Yanmen after we ran out of Mayi County? Shouldn't we hurry back to Jinyang?" the woman from before then asked again.

Hearing this, Chu Mofeng tiptoed over and said softly: "Because we want to come to meet Chen Xiaoyi's family, but I don't know if Zhang Lun's dog thief did anything to his family after he killed Chen Xiaoyi, we have to inquire about it." ”

Suddenly hearing someone talking beside them, the two women quickly got up and drew their weapons, looked at this person vigilantly, and found out that it was Chu Mofeng, the two couldn't help but cheer in a low voice, Gu Zhen'er withdrew the long knife in her hand, and pretended to be angry and said angrily: "Brother Feng, you want to scare people to death, people are still a big girl with yellow flowers, this person suddenly came out in the middle of the night, in case you want to do something trivial to others, how can you call others." ”

Hearing Gu Zhen'er say this, Chu Mofeng and Liu Feiyan couldn't help but hold their foreheads, only to hear Liu Feiyan say: "Forget it, if someone wants to do something light to you, you can't wait to make others light." ”

Chu Mofeng laughed out loud after hearing this, and seeing that Liu Feiyan made Chu Mofeng laugh when he joked about himself, Gu Zhen'er instantly blushed, and stamped her feet vigorously and feigned anger: "Cousin, you are so bad, people ignore you." ”

Liu Feiyan held back a smile and said, "Yes, you ignore me, and you ignore no one when your brother Feng comes, right?" After saying that, I couldn't hold it back anymore and laughed.

At this time, Chu Mofeng seemed to remember something, and said to Liu Feiyan: "Feiyan, did you take everything you were asked to take in Mayi before?"

"Well, Brother Chu, don't worry, I've done everything I told me. Liu Feiyan nodded, and then said: "Li Dao's head is wrapped in a jacket, as for the tattoo on Zhang Lun's right hand, I also peeled off it, and I also took off the waist card with the names of the two of them." ”

"Cousin, what are you doing with these things? I didn't even know that you had a head in your jacket after walking all the way. Gu Zhen'er heard the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but ask with curiosity in her heart.

"Brother Chu said that this time we got rid of Zhang Lun and Li Dao, which can be regarded as indirectly avenging Lord Chen Xiaoyi, and bringing these things here is to pay tribute to Lord Chen, and secondly, to be able to win the trust of Lord Chen's family, if possible, we have to take Lord Chen's family to Jinyang. Liu Feiyan looked at Chu Mofeng and told Gu Zhen'er what he thought.

Hearing Liu Feiyan's words, Gu Zhen'er nodded and said: "In that case, let's inquire about whether Chen Xiaoyi's family is still there, and then hurry over, lest those officers and soldiers who were deceived out of the city by Brother Chu come back and have a city-wide search." ”

Just when the three of them were talking, the sky was already white, the three of them saw this and led the horse to the door of the inn, it happened that the shopkeeper removed the door panel and opened the door, and saw two women and a man standing at the door, and hurriedly greeted: "A few guest officers are so early, are they staying in the hotel or eating?" The shop is open, and there are only hot porridge and buns in the back kitchen at this time, and a few people can eat first if they don't dislike it. ”

"Stay in the hotel, prepare two rooms, and by the way lead the horse to the backyard to feed. Chu Mofeng nodded, took out two hangs of money from his arms and threw them into the shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "Just prepare what you just said, let's go up and rest after eating in the lobby, calculate how much money is needed, and the rest will be rewarded to you." ”

After estimating that it only took one hundred and fifty wen in total, and he could still leave a reward of fifty wen, the shopkeeper was in a good mood, and hurriedly led Chu Mofeng and the three of them to the inn, while he quickly led the three horses to the backyard and fed them with forage, and then hurriedly ran to the back kitchen.

The three of them walked into the lobby and found a seat to sit down, and after a while, the shopkeeper walked in with three bowls of steaming porridge and a plate of fragrant buns, and greeted loudly: "A few guest officers, your porridge and buns are here, please use them slowly, and summon the villain at any time if you need to." ”

The three of them ran around all night, and their stomachs were already hungry, and when they saw that they were eating, they didn't care about the image, so they grabbed the buns and hurriedly ate the porridge. After gobbling it up, only three empty bowls and a plate were left on the table, and the shopkeeper on the side looked at the three people secretly, muttering in his heart: Did these three people escape from which mountain? The big buns in the store can usually be eaten by a strong man, but just now he served nine buns.

The three of them didn't know that they were surprised by the shopkeeper, got up and patted their round belly and walked straight to the guest room, Chu Mofeng, who was walking at the end, casually took out half a hanging money and came to the shopkeeper's side, patted him lightly and said, "Little second brother, I want to ask you something." After saying that, he stuffed the half of the money into his hand.

Seeing that this person had rewarded him with half a penny, the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "If the guest officer wants to inquire about anything, just ask, as long as it does not involve taboo issues, the villain guarantees that he knows everything and says everything." ”

"Well, in fact, it's not a taboo thing, I want to ask you where is Chen Xiaoyi, the county leader of Yanmen County, now?" Chu Mofeng nodded, pulled the shopkeeper to the side and sat down, and asked sideways.

Hearing this person mention the word 'Chen Xiaoyi', tears suddenly welled up in the eyes of the shopkeeper, and he looked around to see that there was no one else, and leaned over to Chu Mofeng and whispered: "The guest officer doesn't know, Lord Chen has died." ”

"Oh, when, I haven't been to Yanmen for a long time, and I didn't even know that such a thing happened. Why did Lord Chen die?" Chu Mofeng asked when he heard the words of the shopkeeper, pretending not to know.

The shopkeeper wiped a handful of tears and said: "It was a few days ago, Lord Chen was killed by the dog thief of the school captain Zhang Lun, Zhang Lun saw Liu Wuzhou coming to attack the city, so he assassinated Lord Chen and gave our Yanmen to Liu Wuzhou. The city thought that there was only one person in charge of guarding Guo Cheng now, but he also listened to Liu Wuzhou's arrangement. ”

As soon as he heard that what the shopkeeper said was similar to the news he had heard, Chu Mofeng nodded and asked again: "There are two more questions, why did the little second brother cry? Is Chen Xiaoyi's family still alive now?"

"The guest officer didn't know, when Lord Chen was the county governor before, he was very good to the people, never raised taxes and didn't eat to take cards, before Zhang Lun's dog thief collected taxes in the West City Gate, the people in the past were miserable, and later after Lord Chen learned about it, he arrested the dog thief and whipped fifty whips in public, and returned all the taxes collected to everyone, so Yanmen County secretly cried when he mentioned Lord Chen. ”

The shopkeeper looked at the person in front of him, feeling that this person did not look like a person who had a holiday with Lord Chen, and after snorting a few times, he said: "After Lord Chen was killed, Zhang Lun originally wanted to kill the adult's family together, but somehow he was stopped by that Liu Wuzhou, and now they are still living in the original mansion of Lord Chen, but if you are here to harm them, then please step on the corpse of the villain first, and then step on the corpse of the entire Yanmen people before you do it." ”

Seeing the shopkeeper looking at him with a resolute expression, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but feel moved and funny, thinking that if they were all good officials who were loved by the people like this all these years, then why couldn't the country be prosperous and strong, thinking of this, Chu Mofeng leaned into the shopkeeper's ear and whispered: "Little second brother, this sentence can't come from your ear, it's good to know it yourself, Zhang Lun's guy was killed by me last night." ”

After speaking, he straightened up and walked towards the guest room, the shopkeeper was stunned and motionless when he heard this, and asked loudly when Chu Mofeng's figure was about to disappear at the staircase: "Is the words of the guest official true?"

Chu Mofeng didn't answer, just nodded, and then walked into his guest room without looking back.

After the three of them rested for a few hours, they got up and came to the lobby on the first floor, the lobby was already overcrowded at this time, and the shopkeeper saw the three of them go downstairs, and hurriedly greeted them and said, "Do you need something to eat?"

Chu Mofeng waved his hand and said, "No need, we have to go out." Before Chu Mofeng could finish speaking, the shopkeeper suddenly whispered: "Count the second row from south to north in the east of the city, and count the fifth block from west to east." ”

Chu Mofeng nodded knowingly, and walked out of the lobby with Liu Feiyan and Gu Zhen'er.

At this time, on a table near the counter, two diners were drinking and chatting, only to hear one of them in a white shirt say: "Brother don't know, there was a big incident in Ma Yi last night." ”

Another man in a yellow fir took a sip of wine and asked in surprise, "Tell me what happened." ”

The white-shirted man looked around vigilantly and whispered, "Do you remember that Zhang Lun? and his confidant Li Dao, it is said that he was killed in Mayi last night, and by the time the people from the Yamen arrived, the two of them were completely dead. ”

"Damn, these two bastards deserve to die, if it weren't for them, Lord Chen would not have been killed, and our Yanmen would not have become Liu Wuzhou's territory, it's really gratifying, which hero gave Lord Chen and the people of Yanmen a bad breath?" said Huang Shanren with a smile on his face.

"Brother is really lonely, who else can there be other than that group of people who dare to do things in such a high-profile manner these years?" As if because he knew who made the move, the white-shirted man picked up the wine glass and touched it with the Huangshan people, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he drank all the wine in the cup.

When the Huangshan people heard what their companion said just now, they suddenly realized and said: "Sure enough, it is the flower on the other side, and if you think about it, you know that they are the only ones on the rivers and lakes who act in such a high-profile manner, specifically punishing evil and promoting good." ”

The shopkeeper on the side heard the conversation between the two diners and realized that the guests who came this morning did not deceive themselves, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and he did things a lot more quickly.

Chu Mofeng and the three of them quickly found Chen Xiaoyi's mansion according to the guidance of the shopkeeper, only to see a white lantern hanging at the door, and a big 'dian' word on it looked extremely lonely, Chu Mofeng stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door, only to see a young woman dressed in filial piety open the door, looked at the person outside the door in surprise and said, "How many are?"

"We are friends of Lord Chen before his death, and when we learned that Lord Chen had died, we came to pay respects, and we looked at Haihan where we were disturbed. Chu Mofeng made a gesture at this person and showed his intention.

As soon as she heard that it was Chen Xiaoyi's friend, the woman hurriedly nodded and welcomed the three of them in, and said while leading the three of them to the mourning hall: "Since the accident, only three friends have come to the father, and the little girl is the mother of the mother, thank you three." After speaking, he turned around and knelt down for Chu Mofeng and the others.

Seeing this, Liu Feiyan behind him hurriedly helped her up and said: "Sister doesn't have to make this big gift, we and Lord Chen also met by chance, so it is really appropriate to come to worship." My sister must not be like this, I can't afford it. ”

The three of them came to the mourning hall, looking at Chen Xiaoyi's spiritual position Chu Mofeng was very emotional, only to hear Gu Zhen'er speak: "Miss Chen can invite Lingtang out, we have some things that need to be opened in front of Lord Lingtang." ”

Chen Yu'er nodded and turned around and walked towards the house, and after a while, she and another woman who was not wearing filial piety clothes walked out with a middle-aged woman, only to see the woman who was not wearing filial piety clothes and asked as she walked: "Yu'er, who is so pompous, and you have to invite your aunt to come out to meet." ”

"Sister Xiu'er, the little sister doesn't know, but it's not too much for someone to make such a request, let's see. ”

"Well, if you're here to make trouble, don't worry that your sister will call the shots for you, and you will definitely make these people look good. I only heard the man named Xiu'er roaring angrily.

Chu Mofeng seemed to be a little familiar when he heard this person's voice, but he couldn't remember where he heard it for a while, so he hurriedly raised his head to see this person's appearance clearly, and it happened that the woman named Xiu'er also raised her head, and the two looked at each other, only to hear the person named Xiu'er shouting: "The surname Chu, why is there something about you anywhere?What are you doing at Uncle Chen's house?"

Chu Mofeng carefully identified it, and said softly: "I said Miss Yuwen, you don't stay in the ancestral mansion, what are you doing in Yanmen?"

Chen Yu'er and her mother looked at the two of them in surprise, and found that they were being looked at, Yu Wenxiu hurriedly said to Chen Yu'er: "Sister Yu'er, I know this person, he is an old friend from the past, and he didn't come to make trouble, you and your aunt can rest assured." ”

Hearing Yu Wenxiu's words, Mrs. Chen said slowly: "Since it is Xiu'er's old friend, I don't know what I came here today?"

Chu Mofeng stepped forward and made a big salute to Mrs. Chen and said, "Mrs. Chen, I came here today to mourn Lord Chen, and secondly, I came to give gifts to the Chen family, as for the third, I have to wait for Mrs. Chen to read the next gift before making a decision." After speaking, he motioned to Liu Feiyan to take out the two waist cards and the tattooed human skin and put them on the ground in front of Mrs. Chen.

Looking at the two waist cards on the ground, the two names on them were so eye-catching and dazzling, remembering that her husband died tragically in the hands of these two people, Mrs. Chen was angry, and clasped her fists with both hands and said coldly: "What is the intention of Xiaoyou to show the old body? Do you want to stimulate the Chen family again?"

"Madam misunderstood, doesn't this tattooed lady feel familiar?" Chu Mofeng hurriedly asked when he saw this.

"Why isn't it familiar, it's that the hand with this tattoo stabbed my husband to death with a sword, how can I feel familiar, even if it turns to ashes, I recognize it. Mrs. Chen said angrily, and her whole person trembled with anger.

"Madame doesn't have to be like this, Zhang Lun and Li Dao have died in Ma Yi last night, I believe that Lord Cheng will be able to rest in peace when he learns the news in the sky. ”

"Why did Xiaoyou tell a fake news to deceive us, is it to see our jokes?" Hearing Chu Mofeng's words, Mrs. Chen didn't dare to believe it.

At this time, Yu Wenxiu couldn't stand it anymore and said: "The surname is Chu, what are you saying true or false? If you lie to someone, I won't be the first to spare you." ”

"You are stupid, I have lived with Lord Chen and have no grievances, why did you come here to deceive them, if you don't believe it, let Mrs. Chen come over and recognize this head, and you will know if you go to the street to investigate. Chu Mofeng looked at Yu Wenxiu's suspicious expression and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Wait, I'll go and ask on the street. After saying that, Yu Wenxiu ran out of Chen's mansion, and about half an hour later, Yu Wenxiu ran back with an excited expression, and shouted to Mrs. Chen as soon as he entered the door: "Auntie, what this kid said is true, there was a big incident in Mayi County last night, and Zhang Lun and Li Dao were indeed killed, and at this time this matter has spread throughout Yanmen." ”

Hearing Yu Wenxiu say this, Mrs. Chen no longer suspected fraud, and was about to kneel down in front of Chu Mofeng and the others, Chu Mofeng glanced at Yu Wenxiu when he saw this, Yu Wenxiu hurriedly supported Mrs. Chen, only to hear Chu Mofeng say: "Mrs. Chen, the head in the bag is Li Dao's, and it was too late to bring Zhang Lun's head, so I could only take off the tattoo on his hand as a certificate, Mrs. Wanwang don't blame." ”

Mrs. Chen's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she turned to Chen Yu'er and said, "Yu'er kneels down and kowtows to the three benefactors, they have avenged your father." You should knock this head. ”

When Chen Yu'er heard this, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times to Chu Mofeng and the three of them, saying: "The benefactor is above, Yu'er thanks the three benefactors for the Chen family, and the three enemies who killed their father with their blades. ”

Chu Mofeng wanted to step forward to help Chen Yu'er, but remembering that men and women could not kiss her, he hurriedly motioned for Liu Feiyan to help Chen Yu'er up, turned to Mrs. Chen and said: "Madame doesn't have to let Yu'er be like this, the third thing I came here today is to ask Mrs. Chen to take Yu'er to move to Jinyang or Zhangye, I have a residence in Jinyang, and Zhangye is in the base camp of Xia, and both places can ensure the safety of Mrs. Chen's family." ”

After listening to Chu Mofeng's words, Mrs. Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Since the young man has this will, please allow the old man to think about it for a while before replying." Let's stay in the house for the time being. After speaking, he summoned a subordinate to prepare a guest room for Chu Mofeng and the three of them, and he took Chen Yu'er towards the house.

Looking at the back of Mrs. Chen's departure, Chu Mofeng turned his head to Yu Wenxiu and said, "You haven't told me how you came to Yanmen." ”

Yu Wenxiu's eyes turned red, and he looked at Chu Mofeng and said slowly: "This matter is a long story, you listen to me tell you slowly......"

There is a road of wind and rain, the world is miserable, if you want to know what will happen next, let's continue tomorrow......
