Chapter 45: Knowing the Bad News

"This is the fenced courtyard where the fake tax collector appeared in the newspaper?" the Jade Rabbit sighed as he looked at the desolation around him.

"This is it. When Tong Bo walked into the courtyard, he saw the bodies of Little Potato and two other little girls lying upright on the ground.

"The body was stiff, and it was evident that it had been more than twelve hours since it had died. Tong Bo stepped next to the corpse of the little potato and carefully examined it: "Hmm? This injury is not caused by the Xuanying Blade?"

"Escort Tong, I see that this little girl's wound arcs from shallow to deep, and it seems to be very similar to the blade of the fake tax collector just now?"

"But this boy's wound is different? Tong Bo pointed to the scar on the neck of the little potato, which was like a small hole the size of a bean, and thought secretly in his heart: "And it seems that there is still a missing body of Wang Ma?"

"It seems that this fake tax collector is not just one person?" Yutu closed the eyes of the children with his hand, "Tong Guard, it seems that the fake tax collector who is fighting with the other party has some understanding of the number of exercises." ”

"Bo is just a guess made by seeing his exercises, and whether it is still to be verified. Tong Bo deliberately avoided this topic: "Bo also wants to ask the rabbit guard a question?"

"What's the problem?" the rabbit guard blinked at Tong Bo.

"How is Li Rat a person?" Tong Bo stood up, sighed lightly, and stopped looking at the corpses.

"Why did Escort Tong ask about this person?" Yutu heard Li Rat's name, and a look of disgust appeared on his pretty face.

"Ha!" Tong Bo observed his words and immediately understood what Jade Rabbit meant: "It seems that this person's virtue is indeed not worthy of being the head of the twelve guards of the zodiac, so it is very likely that he framed An Dafang." ”

"I've also heard about the Ye Mansion, and if you want to say that our security chief is also blind, he deserves to reuse this person. Jade Rabbit looked angry.

"I don't know what hobbies this Li Rat usually has, or who is close to him?" Tong Bo looked at the expression of the jade face and shook his head helplessly.

"Hmph, I don't want to say much about this person, if Guardian Tong is interested, you can go to Infernal Music Workshop to inquire. After Yutu said this, he never mentioned this person again.

In a small cave three miles away from the fence courtyard, the water droplets on the top of the cave were dripping down, and there was no light in the dark space.

"Poof. One of the men struck a few of them lightly with two black charcoal stones, and in a few moments the sparks fell on the pyre, illuminating the cave through the cave.

"Big brother, you said that the area west of Jinling City is so depressed, and we don't gain much here, so it's better to go back early. The man who made the fire sat down beside the fire, took out two pieces of dried meat, skewered them with sticks, sprinkled them with salt, and roasted them on the fire.

"When the third child comes back, we will discuss this matter again. Another man sat cross-legged, threw the package on his back aside, and frowned: "Let the third child go get some water, why did it take so long." ”

"Big brother, it's not that you don't know who he is, irritable, irritable, and lustful. The man turned the barbecue in his hand and sprinkled the salt evenly on the bottom of the dried meat: "I killed those children a few days ago; ”

"This third child is getting more and more unpleasant. An angry look gradually appeared on the cross-kneeled man's face: "Although we are not afraid of the government, there is no need to cause trouble everywhere. ”

"The eldest brother, the second brother, and the younger brother are back. As the two were carrying him, the burly man ran into the cave and sat down beside the barbecue man: "It's so fragrant! ”

"Do you want to eat meat?" the barbecue man deliberately moved the two pieces of barbecue meat towards the burly man's distance.

"Water?" The burly man touched his forehead with a smile: "Second brother, you see my memory, you actually forgot about fetching water?"

"Third child, what are you doing?" The cross-kneeled man clenched his fist with a "click, click", and the anger on his face became even heavier.

"The eldest brother was angry, and the younger brother just met a beauty on the road and got carried away. The burly man saw that the eldest brother was angry, and his face changed in fright, and he quickly confessed: "You also know that the younger brother has not opened meat for many days. ”

"Big brother, you see I'm not wrong. When the barbecue man heard this, he added oil and vinegar to the side.

"This area in the west of Jinling City is desolate, where is the woman?" The sharp eyes of the cross-kneeled man stared at the burly man's soul about to go out of his body.

"It's true, big brother! That woman is dressed in a strong suit, and she doesn't look like an ordinary woman. The burly man was so frightened that he hurriedly begged for mercy: "Big brother, please spare the little brother this time." ”

"Third brother, did you succeed this time?" said the barbecue man teased while eating the roasted dried meat.

"I was about to succeed, but unfortunately I saved her halfway through the journey. The burly man suddenly slapped his head: "Big brother, this person's secret weapon technique is extremely high, and he can see my exercises at a glance and tell me where I come from, and I think he probably came out from there." ”

"Fortunately, things have been done here, and we will leave immediately. The cross-kneeled man suddenly stood up from the ground, pointed at the burly man and scolded angrily: "You bastard, go back and settle accounts with you." ”

As soon as the hour arrived, the birds on the branches had already chirped, and the guards of the Xuanwu Academy began to change shifts one after another, but An Dafang slept peacefully on the couch with his feet facing the sky, and his body was full of heavy alcohol.

"Brother Dafang, get up. Liu Ningshi came to the Xuanwu Courtyard Guard's Courtyard early and knocked on the wooden door of the hut.

"Sister Ning Shi?" Phantom Feather's voice came from behind him: "Don't scream, Chief Security didn't come back until the fourth watch last night, I'm afraid I won't wake up." ”

"Hmph, Brother Dafang, what is this, didn't you say yesterday that you would go to find Xuema and Jade Rabbit together today?" Liu Ningshi's face was full of displeasure: "How much did he and Brother Ren drink last night." ”

"The Snow Horse Guard and the Jade Rabbit Guard also went out on a mission and didn't return, my sister is afraid that she ran away in vain?" Phantom Yu pulled Liu Ningshi's arm: "Although Guard Tong has repeatedly told me not to talk about this matter for the time being, Yu'er still feels that I shouldn't hide it from my sister." ”

"Huh, what's going on?"

"My sister will find out when she comes with Yu'er. ”

The two of them walked towards Phantom Feather's room.

"Yu'er, why are you here?" Yu'er had already changed into a pink silk shirt at this time, and her hair was combed into a high bun;

When Yu'er saw Liu Ningshi, she quickly threw down the pen, ran over and hugged Liu Ningshi, her eyes were filled with tears: "Sister Ningshi, Yu'er misses you so much." ”

"Sister Ning Shi, except for Yu'er, Wang Ma and the other children were all killed by those fake tax collectors. Phantom Yu watched Yu'er hugging Liu Ningshi, and her eyes were a little moist.

"Yu'er, is what Yu'er said true?" Liu Ningshi heard the bad news, her body shook, and the blood in her whole body seemed to have coagulated.

"Sister Ning Shi, at that time, Yu'er hid in the thatched pile behind the house and was not found by those people?" Yu'er sobbed softly: "If it wasn't for Brother Xiangyun who saved me, Yu'er may never see her sister again in this life." ”

"Little potato, my sister also promised to teach you phantom footwork next time we met, but I didn't expect it to be the last time we met. Liu Ningshi looked up at smallpox, trying to control herself from tears: "Wang Ma, Little Potato, and Hong'er and Qing'er, my sister will definitely avenge you." ”

"Sister Ning Shi, if you want to cry, cry out, don't suffocate yourself. The phantom feather on the side gently pulled up Liu Ningshi.

"Yu'er, Yu'er, don't worry, Ning Shi is fine. Liu Ningshi came to her senses, gently stroked Yu'er's hair, and smiled at Phantom Yu: "Yu'er, Yu'er will ask you to take care of it for a while." ”

"Sister Ning Shi, where are you going?" Phantom Yu looked at Liu Ning Shi not only did not cry, but smiled, her heart became uneasy, and she grabbed her right hand: "Those fake tax collectors don't even let go of the old people and children, they are so cruel, I don't worry if you go to check alone." ”

"Yu'er is relieved, Ning Shi will meet Brother Xiangyun first and then make plans. Liu Ningshi gently patted Phantom Yu's hand with her left hand, then shook off Yu'er's hands and rushed out of the door.

"Sister Yu, Sister Ning Shi doesn't matter, Yu'er really wants to grow up quickly, so that she can share her sisters' worries. Yu'er looked at Phantom Feather with an innocent expression.

"Yu'er, Sister Ning Shi will be fine. Phantom Yu cleaned up his mood: "An Dafang, this person can't be counted on." By the way, the Tong guard once said that in case of emergency, he could use the thousands of miles of transmission he left to transmit the message. ”

Liu Ningshi walked for nearly two hours, and An Dafang stretched his waist and walked out of the house with a yawn: "Hmm? Ning Shi should have said that he asked Xue Ma and Yutu together today, why is there no trace?"

"Someone?" An Dafang shouted.

After a while, a Xuanwu guard trotted to the front of An Da to defend himself, hugged his fists and said, "I don't know what the chief of security commands?"

"Has Miss Liu been here today?" An Dafang shook his slightly aching mind with both hands, and kept turning his neck.

"Miss Liu has been here, but then she was called away by Miss Phantom Feather. The guards truthfully reported to An Dafang.

"Hmph, what the hell is this phantom feather, Ning Shi is here to find me, why did she stick a stick. An Dafang said indignantly.

"Report!" Another Xuanwu guard trotted in front of An Dafang, and arched his hand: "Chief, there is a Zhou lawyer who asks to see you." ”

"Zhou lawyer, which Zhou lawyer?" An Dafang could not pretend to be anything else in his heart at this time except Liu Ningshi.

He said, on the day in the lobby of the court captain, I debated the law for you. The Xuanwu guards truthfully conveyed Zhou Ling's words.

"Oh! I remember, there was such a thing, invite him in. An Dafang instructed the other guard: "Go get some water, wine and food, I want to thank him well." ”
