Volume 3 Ten Miles of Spring Breeze Chapter 122 The Wisher Takes the Bait
said that Guan Xiaohong left the inn and went all the way to the east and went out of Diecui Town. When I came to the suburbs, the tender yellow grass on the ground was sparse and clear, like light smoke, which made people happy to see it. There was no longer Hu Longhai's chatter in her ears, and she suddenly felt refreshed.
The sky is clear, and wisps of sunlight like golden threads shine on the earth. She began to fly in the wilderness, when suddenly the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind her head. Guan Xiaohong twisted her waist and stood on a tree. The passengers on the horse were none other than Bai Ruoxuan and Archie.
Seeing that it was Guan Xiaohong, Bai Ruoxuan hurriedly grabbed the reins of the horse and said with a smile: "It's really a coincidence." Little sister, where are you going, sister, I'll give you a ride. Guan Xiaohong said: "Dare to ask my sister where she is going?" Bai Ruoxuan said: "I originally planned to go back to the Salt Gang, but there is one more thing to do now." Little girl, why are you here alone?"
Guan Xiaohong jumped down from the tree, stepped forward and complained: "My second uncle Hu is annoyingly tight, and he doesn't say 800 sentences in my ear a day: the rivers and lakes are dangerous, and people's hearts are even more dangerous." He did not eat well, nor did he sleep well.
So I got rid of him and went out to play on my own. My sister's family lives in the Salt Gang, I have never been there, will my sister take me there?" Bai Ruoxuan pretended to hesitate and said, "This ...... I'm afraid this is inappropriate, that Mr. Hu is your elder, so you naturally followed him this time.
I think it's up to us to send you back to him so that he doesn't have to worry about it. Besides, although you are a little girl, you know how to do martial arts, but you have to go through the rivers and lakes, and you are still far away. ”
She said this very cleverly, on the surface she was persuading her, but in fact it was provoking her. For Guan Xiaohong's heart, she has long understood it. This trick is naturally untraceable, and the so-called coincidence has naturally been arranged a long time ago. With Guan Xiaohong's experience in the rivers and lakes, she naturally won't see through it, not to mention that she has been angry with Hu Longhai for the past few days.
Guan Xiaohong said: "Sister also looks down on me?" Bai Ruoxuan smiled: "How could it be?" I was just thinking, it's a pity that I don't have a cute sister like you, otherwise it would be a pleasure for me to be with her." Guan Xiaohong praised and said: "Sister is not only beautiful but also sweet, I think if you don't mind, then let my little sister walk with you."
Uncle Hu also said that the Salt Gang is a big gang in the rivers and lakes, and I am very lucky to meet a character like my sister. If you can walk with your sister, you will be able to broaden your horizons and increase your knowledge. I don't know what my sister thinks?"
Bai Ruoxuan was overjoyed to see her take the bait so easily, but she pretended to be embarrassed on her face: "This ...... I'm afraid that this must be agreed by your parents and elders, otherwise even if my sister and I are a hundred willing, we will inevitably attract criticism in the end. Guan Xiaohong pouted and said, "Speaking of which, my sister still coaxes me to be happy." ”
At this time, Ali turned over and dismounted and interjected: "Young master, I see that this little girl is very close to you, so you can promise her." I will leave that matter to my subordinates, and I will meet the young master after I finish the matter. It's hard to come out of this Huizhou Mansion, and it's rare for you to meet new friends. Wouldn't it be a pity not to take a walk?
As for Uncle Hu, it is better for me to say hello, so that the elders of the family can rest assured. What do you think?" Before Bai Ruoxuan could speak, Guan Xiaohong smiled and said, "This uncle's method is the most appropriate." Sister, will you promise me?" Bai Ruoxuan said to Ali: "You leave the horse for the little girl to ride." When you see Uncle Hu, please rest assured. ”
Ali arched his hands and said, "Yes." Saying that, he handed the reins to Guan Xiaohong and said, "Girl, please." Guan Xiaohong smiled: "Thank you uncle." As he spoke, he jumped into the saddle and walked with Bai Ruoxuan.
Hu Longhai had just walked a few steps before he felt like a fire in the dantian, and he gasped and leaned against a tree in the backyard of the inn. Suddenly, his legs went limp, and he fell to his knees. One hand covered his chest, and his eyes suddenly opened. The mouth foamed at first, then turned bright red.
It wasn't until a guest came to the backyard that he found his body and hurriedly called for someone to report to the official.
After Xiao Yunfan slipped away from the boat unconsciously, he changed his appearance, and he planned to track down Bai Ruoxuan's whereabouts. When I walked to Diecui Town, I saw that the door of the Chunlai Inn was crowded with people watching the excitement. He also leaned over and asked the person next to him, "This big brother, what's going on inside?"
A red-faced man beside him said, "I heard that there were dead people inside, and the government sent someone to inspect the scene." Xiao Yunfan asked again: "Who is the one who died?" A thin-faced man next to him said: "I heard that it was a fifty-year-old man, it seems that he was going to go to Gong after eating, but he died in the middle of the road." ”
Xiao Yunfan frowned and said, "Could it be that if you want to go out of Gong, you will die?" A fat sister-in-law said: "If people are unlucky, they will die if they drink cold water, and if they drink cold water, they will die, what's the fuss?" Xiao Yunfan smiled bitterly, originally wanting to distinguish a few words. Finally holding back, he suddenly saw a face in the crowd, this face he had seen before, a middle-aged man with yellow eyebrows.
Ali also asked a few questions to the people beside him, and Xiao Yunfan noticed a smile on the corner of his mouth. I thought to myself, "Could the death of the man inside have something to do with him?" This yellow eyebrow appears here, why can't you see that scheming girl?"
Ali seemed to get the news he wanted, and hurried away through the crowd. Xiao Yunfan saw that he was leaving, so he quietly followed him. At first, Ali didn't notice it, but when he crossed an alley, a girl selling flowers stopped Xiao Yunfan, and Ali glanced back and seemed to understand something.
Xiao Yunfan was entangled by the girl, so he had to take out a few pennies to buy a few flowers. But in the blink of an eye, Ali's people were gone. Xiao Yunfan was quite disappointed in his heart, and walked towards the street stupidly. Seeing a vendor selling porcelain vases on the side of the road, he casually gave flowers to the vendor.
On the way, he thought to himself, "Why did this yellow eyebrow go back to the place where the crime occurred? Could it be that he left something somewhere? Or did he have some other reason, he wasn't sure if he killed that man, so he wanted to come back?"
In addition, what kind of trick is this girl going to play this time, will this person's death be related to this matter? Well, no matter what, I'll try to go to the yamen first, as long as I know who Huang Meiwei killed, maybe I can find some clues on the deceased's body. ”
After figuring out this section, Xiao Yunfan stayed in another inn in Diecui Town and inquired about the location of the mansion. In the evening, he changed into a short lean and covered his face with a black scarf. Then he performed light skills and quietly sneaked into the government.
The corpse of the deceased had been played in the morgue and left early.
Xiao Yunfan floated from the roof to the courtyard, and when he saw a patrol officer coming with a lantern, he was busy hanging upside down on the beam. When the messenger walked under him, he fell behind the officer, put his two fingers on the back of the opponent's heart, and covered the opponent's mouth and nose with the other hand and said: "I ask you something, answer honestly, play some tricks, and the uncle will send you to see the king of Hades immediately." ”
The messenger was frightened and lost for a long time, and nodded vigorously. Xiao Yunfan slowly let go of his mouth and said, "Where is the dead man who came to the inn in the spring during the day?" The messenger said in a trembling voice: "In ...... In the morgue. Xiao Yunfan asked again, "Where is the morgue?"
The messenger pointed to the door of the cave in front of him and said, "Cross...... After this gate, go around the rockery. Yes...... There is a row of low houses, and the one who comes here is ...... Just spend the night there. Xiao Yunfan said, "Is that room locked?" The officer gasped and said, "No...... Not locked. ”
Xiao Yunfan said: "I'm sorry, big brother." As he spoke, he raised his hand and struck him on the back of the neck, and the servant immediately fainted. Xiao Yunfan lifted him under the eaves, and then said, "If you sleep here, it will be a dream." ”
He followed the officer's point to the morgue. Passing through the moon cave gate and bypassing the rockery, there was indeed a row of low houses behind the two locust trees. Xiao Yunfan tiptoed up the steps and pushed the door open with a creak. The room was eerie, with only a plank bed in the middle.
Rao is Xiao Yunfan couldn't help but gasp boldly, he blew on the fire medium, boldly walked to the bed, and lifted the cloth on the deceased's face with one hand. A fragment flashed in his mind, his eyebrows frowned, and he couldn't help jumping unusually violently, thinking, "It's him." ”
On the same day, when Xiao Yunfan and Yin 13 joined forces to fight the beggar gang, they saw Guan Xiaohong and Hu Longhai, although it was only one side, but he recognized it. He lit an oil lamp in the room with coals, the faint yellow light flickered and the shadows on the wall swayed from side to side.
Xiao Yunfan brought a pair of gloves and plugged his nostrils with cotton prepared in advance. Hu Longhai's eyes bulged out and his lips turned purple, apparently poisoned to death. Xiao Yunfan was afraid of missing something, so he touched the bones of the other party's hands and feet again.
When he examined Hu Longhai's palm, he found that the palm of his left hand had a thick callus, which was formed by practicing kung fu such as iron sand palms. And there are scars under his ribs and lower abdomen, and the tattoo of an eagle on his right arm was recognized by Xiao Yunfan.
This tattoo is different from other places in that the color of the tattoo is dark purple, and the tattoo has a special marking. Coupled with the scar on Hu Longhai's body, he was even more sure that the deceased in front of him was Hu Zhen. Hu Zhen's Yuanyang dart game was originally famous in the rivers and lakes, but later he lost an important dart, and since then he can no longer eat as a dart master.
Because after many years, this matter has gradually been forgotten. The reason why Xiao Yunfan knew it was because Feng Yuchun gave Xie Tianya a gift to Xie Tianya mentioned this matter. In addition, the eagle on his arm and the scar made Xiao Yunfan even more convinced that this person was Jiang Heng, the condor in the clouds.
After the Yuanyang dart game was lost, Jiang Heng's home was also set on fire. This Jiang Heng naturally didn't know what to do, what Xiao Yunfan didn't expect was that the Ghost Xiangmen actually did something to him, could it be that Jiang Heng knew the secret of the Ghost Xiangmen, so he was killed by the other party.
Just as he was pondering, he heard someone shouting in the front yard of the yamen: "Come on, put out the fire." When Xiao Yunfan heard this, his heart moved, and then he came to his senses and said secretly: "It seems that tonight's uninvited guest is not Xiao alone." ”
He blew out the oil lamp and rolled under the bed. The bed board was covered with rags and dragged to the ground, and ordinary people would not have noticed it at all. He held his breath and waited for someone to come.
