Chapter 65: Escape
When he entered the pot, the first thing was the golden eyes full of astonishment and fear, and this sudden mass of things obviously frightened him a lot, even if he was weak, he struggled to hold himself up, whining, but the cry was like a cat, without any power.
Seeing the return of the six ugliness, the golden eyes suddenly let out a few wails.
The six uglies were not lazy, took out a few artificial demon cores and threw them out, the golden eyes bit and swallowed, and after a while, the eyes were red and bright, and the spirit and temperament were completely different.
Naturally, next, Jin Yan ran to the side of the six ugly people, shaking his head and tail: "Immortal, extraordinary powers, little demon admiration!"
The six ugly were anxious to refine the crossbow, but they were afraid that someone outside would come to look for them, so how could they have time to mess with it, so they only titheed at the pile of broken things: "This thing is moved to the corner and piled up, and it is neatly placed." ”
After the golden-eyed beast went, the six ugly put the crossbow into the ding, then put in the demon core and materials, and gave instructions in the divine cauldron.
The time of the divine weapon cauldron is very long, everything is available, the refining time is a full four hours, the six uglies do not dare to stay for a long time, and the golden-eyed beast said a few words, then the divine thought flashed out, there was still a snoring in the Ximen Pavilion, everyone was drunk yesterday, and it was difficult to wake up.
The six clowns yawned, and after a while, the snoring gradually began to fall, and finally fell asleep.
The next day, as expected, the city began to move, the city gate was strictly checked, the pavilion chiefs were summoned by the county lieutenant, and the people of the two major chambers of commerce of Yingbubo and Juque began to walk the streets and alleys in the city, making secret visits everywhere, as if releasing a group of hunting dogs.
After the meal, he took people to fiddle with the five soldiers in the pavilion, wiped with ointment, cleaned and bright, and did not care about the market.
Entering the Dongqiao Pavilion again, the atmosphere has been completely different, in addition to the pavilion chief Zuo Geng, there are several other people, all of whom are pavilion chiefs seeking thieves, and there are also several demon hunters, wearing armor and waiting for the battle, with a solemn expression, and the air is filled with a faint golden atmosphere.
Compared with others, the outfit of the six ugly people is like a street outfit, and there is no sense of wartime.
Touching the left line-of-sight, but there was no sign of it, the six ugly hearts were stable, and the big square followed the people under the eaves of the lobby, and there were two people next to them, both of whom were pawns of this pavilion, and they only went to capture the thief yesterday, so they recognized it.
In the middle of the lobby is the county lieutenant in the city, under the left hand are three Youjiao, and in the right hand are two Gewu armor soldiers, someone is talking back in the middle, and he is also a pavilion pawn here.
“...... The villain only handed over the ox cart to the thief, and then returned home, without knowing anything else. ”
"Is there any witness?" asked You, who was the first on the left.
"The mother, wife and children in the villain's family can all testify. ”
You Yu nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Go ahead, wait in the courtyard." ”
The pavilion pawn came out, the pavilion pawn under the eaves re-entered, and the six ugly listened to what he asked, all of which were related to Shuwu, and couldn't help but be puzzled in their hearts, and asked the people beside him: "What happened to Shuwu?"
The pavilion guard next to him peeked into the hall, and said in a low voice: "I don't know if you want to steal?" After you went yesterday, Shuwu took five soldiers, hired ox carts, and took those girls and beasts away, thinking that they were going home, but they went out of the city, and they didn't know where they went. ”
"Huh?!"
Hearing this, the six ugly were also taken aback, but after thinking about it, it was not right, even if Shuwu fled, it would not cause such a big movement, according to common sense, but I just hoped that the list would be released everywhere immediately, so it would be so fanfare, so he signaled to the hall again, and asked again in amazement: "Even if you escape, it won't alarm the county lieutenant and the crowd, right?"
If the head of the police station in each village and each sub-district, the county lieutenant is equal to the director of the city bureau, and the tour is the composition of the two, which is roughly similar to the director of the modern township bureau and the director of the district bureau.
The pavilion guard replied: "Just take people to escape, naturally it will not be alarmed, but last night there was a fire in the Eagle Bubo Chamber of Commerce, it is said that Shu Wu did, sneaked into the city in the middle of the night to rob and set fire, and then escaped." ”
I see!
This is to track down Shuwu, obviously just to find a scapegoat, Shuwu's escape undoubtedly gave the officials and other generations an excellent excuse, so he directly carried this pot on him in order to explain.
Shu Wu's escape is a bit strange, true or false, I don't know if it's the escape that the pavilion said, or just traveling, if it is really with the child to flee to other places to make a living, this joke is big, now in retrospect, I am afraid that it is just for the sake of not planting well fields, and it is really like the joke of the six ugly days that day, who expected him to be true......
The six ugly people felt slightly in their hearts, they tried their best to make a living, unscrupulous means, and all they wanted was to save their lives, but the uncles and martial artists were awe-inspiring and righteous, and for the sake of a group of children, they threw away their identities as countrymen and subordinates, and wandered into the wilderness, which really made him quite moved and had mixed feelings.
While thinking, someone in the hall shouted Du Pu's name, and the six ugly were still immersed in thoughts, and did not move for a while, until they were pulled a few times by the pavilion guards next to them, and then they suddenly stepped inside, bowing down: "I have seen the county lieutenant, I have seen You Xuan." ”
The county lieutenant's face was pale and he couldn't distinguish joy and anger, and the first one on the left had a kind face, and said to the six ugly: "Du Pu, I heard you whispering to someone outside just now, I don't know what you said?"
"Yes, the subordinates heard that they were summoned today, and it was for the sake of Shuwu, so they inquired about his whereabouts and wanted to serve the adults," in the memory of the six ugly previous lives, they were able to deal with these matters without difficulty, and immediately came up with the most suitable words: "I don't know if the adults called me, is it also for this?"
"I heard that the thief has recently solved a big case, first caught the missing demon, and then captured the thief at Xiedong Bridge, this heart is commendable, and it is indeed worthy of my Xicheng humerus," You Yu praised two sentences without pain, and then said the main topic: "Yesterday you went with him to catch the thief, did you notice?"
Although the six ugly did not know You Duting, but in a few simple words, he understood his relationship with himself, You Zhu called him for questioning on the surface, and boasted, in fact, it was just to separate Ximen Duting from the case, putting aside his own joint relationship, it is estimated that the matter has already been asked from the mouth of the pavilion pawn, what he needs is to prove that Shuwu escaped!
Liuchou's heart only rose up half of his admiration for Shuwu, but this did not prevent him from following the meaning of Youjiao, and things were like this left and right, so after thinking about it, Liuchou said with a guilty face:
"I didn't find anything, but now that I know that I escaped, in retrospect, I have some clues, and I only blame myself for being careless, and I didn't notice it. ”
"Oh?"
You Jiao's eyes suddenly lit up, not only him, but also the county lieutenant and the others also had joy on their faces, but the faces of the two people in the chamber of commerce did not change, and they were even faintly angry.
"How do you find out, tell me in detail!" You Yu immediately asked.
Anyway, it's all framed, that's so-called, the six ugly half-truths and half-truths: "Yesterday captured the thief and saved eight children, Shuwu wanted to take him in, but he couldn't make a living, and there was a lot of resentment in his words, if he fled, he must have come from this." ”
"Wait!" Saying this, You Yu suddenly thought about it, and interjected and asked, "Why did Shuwu take these children in, did you find out?"
"This ......" The six ugly faintly guessed the meaning of the tour, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "According to the subordinates, it seems that the girl is beautiful and moved......"
This is pure nonsense, throwing feces and urine on Shuwu!
"Oops!" Hearing this, the county lieutenant slapped the table heavily, his eyes were business, his mouth shouted, and his voice suddenly increased by three points, revealing excitement: "That's it, that's it! The reason why this thief escaped, presumably came from this!"
"Exactly!" the crowd echoed, and all of them said in unison.
Everyone in the Chamber of Commerce glared at the six ugly in annoyance, and gritted their teeth slightly, but they really didn't dare to make a mistake in front of the county lieutenant, so they could only hold a grudge in their hearts.
The sentence taken out of the mouth of the six ugly was the original intention of the county lieutenant and others, after finishing speaking, they simply asked some gossip, and then let the six ugly leave, and everyone's faces turned into bamboo, and they began to discuss the follow-up of the release of the list and the arrest of Shuwu.
The six ugly came out of the hall, and stood quietly in the courtyard with the pavilion guards, the look in their eyes was uncertain, each had a different look, the six ugly knew what they were thinking, and they didn't say much, they only went to greet the pavilion chief Zuo Geng, and Zuo Geng was also a little embarrassed on his face, and said in a deep voice:
"Du Pu, if you don't take the lead with Shuwu, but talk like this, everyone is afraid that they have a grudge in their hearts!"
The six ugly only smiled, and did not say anything more to Zuo, he knew very well that his words today had completely pushed Shuwu into the abyss of no return, and also offended the people of Dongqiao, but since he was the county lieutenant and You Gui wanted to, he could only cooperate, and it was impossible to take the lead at all, and it seemed like a few simple words, but it would cause a lot of trouble, and at the same time, it would not save Shuwu.
Escaping is a big crime, it doesn't matter why it is at all, even if Shuwu himself, I'm afraid he won't care about deducting one more crime on his body, right?
As a sixth ugly with the memory of later generations, since the official has made up his mind to ask Shuwu to take the blame, how to act, he has already guessed, not like these pavilion pawns in front of him, the pavilion chief is simple-minded, and he will be willing to take risks to take the lead, without considering the consequences.
Seeing that the six ugly had no excuse, Zuo Geng was also unable to wait, so he could only wait quietly in the courtyard with him, and after a short time, he listened to the order from the county lieutenant and others, and named the names of several pavilion chiefs, and ordered them to recruit pavilion pawns and go to pursue together.
The six ugly hearts breathed a sigh of relief, if he wanted him to participate in the pursuit, I was afraid that he could only kill one more person and replace his identity, before the time of January came, how could he dare to leave rashly?
The order was issued, and for a time the chickens and dogs jumped in the city, nearly half of the pavilions were gathered, divided into four ways out of the city to chase, and at the same time issued a list of articles everywhere, Liuchou also returned to the Ximen Pavilion with Zuo Geng, took up the manpower, and began to live in Shuwu's residence, the neighbors left and right, and the place where he went every day...... And so on, and so on, and look for it everywhere.
During the search, the six ugly met the people of the Eagle Bubo Chamber of Commerce, and after a little inquiry, they learned that the four chambers of commerce also sent people to participate in the pursuit team. Juque assists in the city's defense, Eagle Bubo is the main thing, and it is the responsibility of the two associations, and Taixi and Wucai are the Weigu Chamber of Commerce, so they also help.
The six ugly were happy, and took people to find out a little with Zuo Geng, so they lazily returned to the courtyard, closed the door, and began to practice the stick method taught by Mr. Fu Lu over and over again, as well as the Ten Thousand Demon Duel, taking advantage of this rare opportunity to strengthen the martial arts.
At the same time, the hand crossbow was finally refined twice in the divine weapon cauldron, and the demon core and materials were consumed.
The appearance of the crossbow has changed greatly, the color is dark silver, the crossbow body is like a cone, and a strange spider appears at the position of the handle, and the spider webs are all over the crossbow body, as if forming a large web, and finally converge to the position of the crossbow bow, which is in line with the crossbow blade.
Underneath the spider pattern is a moving groove that injects toxin, and each bolt automatically attaches venom until it is consumed.
In addition, the hand crossbow has also increased the position of placing the demon core, and the shooting of the crossbow no longer only depends on the elasticity of the bow and string, but relies on the drive of the demon core, making the hand crossbow both powerful and range, has exceeded the scope of the eight bull crossbow.
The firing range of the Eight Bull Crossbow has an effective distance of 700 steps, and the farthest is 1,000 meters and 1,500 meters in modern measurement, and now the effective distance under the drive of the crossbow demon core has reached 1,000 steps, and the farthest is about 1,500 steps, almost 2,200 meters!
This hand crossbow has exceeded the limit of ordinary blades, and its lethality is like a spiritual weapon.
At the same time, the few demon cores that could be refined were also transformed into elixir pills at the first time and were swallowed.
