Chapter 148: Hire a Murderer

"Master, don't you know, this Zhu Xuezhen is also hateful, and she specializes in going against my family. Last time, he played several times in a row, saying that my family was corrupt and perverted the law, brutalized the people, and caused the adults to almost lose their officials. This time, my family is about to be promoted, and he insists on making trouble, and he wants to harm the good things of the adults. My family can't do it, so Tete called me here and asked the master to help. ”

"Amitabha. Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot. ”

"This is 50,000 taels of silver given to the master by the lord to help the master to clean up. ”

"Alas, Amitabha. If I don't go to hell, who will!"

"Master, my family hopes that the master will be neat and not leave any handles. ”

"I'll pinch him to death first, and then hang him on the beam, pretending to hang himself, what do you think?"

"That's good. When is the master going to do it?"

"Well, forget it today, tomorrow night, you can listen to it. ”

"Okay, I'm leaving. ”

"Good!

Fang Xiaoli and the two heard the footsteps, and hurriedly hid to the left, and there was a corridor on the left, leading to the back of the room, and the two hurriedly ran to the corner and poked their heads out to look. The monk sent the guest out, and the person who bought the murder was the man with the appearance of a roe deer and a jackal that he met on the road, and the monk could only look at his high back.

The monk turned around and came back, and Fang Xiaoli and the two hurriedly retracted their heads. There was silence in the courtyard for a while, and the two did not dare to stay for a long time, so they walked to the back of the room, and there was a corner door behind the room, and the two walked out.

Outside the house was a mountain, and there was a path on the mountain, and the two of them went down the mountain from the trail and came back to the temple.

The two of them did not stay in the temple, turned around and walked out of the Yunju Temple. There is a small restaurant on the side of the road outside the temple, the two walked in and sat down, an old couple came to entertain, the two asked for two bowls of rice, two plates of green vegetables, bowed their heads and ate.

After the two of them finished eating, it was still early, and they walked down the hill again, and came to a small stream and sat down, the stream gurgling, waiting for the time to pass slowly.

After sitting for more than an hour and seeing that the sun was in the west, the two of them got up, walked west along the road they came, walked to the courtyard outside the village, and went in again to search carefully, but did not find a single figure.

Fang Xiaoli and the two came out, walked west along the road they came, walked to the south gate of the city, and walked in. After walking a few streets, I came to Wangjiang Tower, and the shopkeeper saw the two sons coming back and hurriedly came to greet them. The two went back to the room to rest, and when it was a little dark, the two came out and walked to the dining table to eat.

As soon as I finished eating, I saw a person outside the door probing his brain, and then he saw that it was the head of the flower child, and there must be news to report. The two walked out of the door, and the shopkeeper looked at him, and thought, how can these two brocade boys know this flower head?

Fang Xiaoli and the two walked out of the door, and said: "We reported to the official, Lord Zhu asked about the case, and sent someone to arrest the two accomplices, who have disappeared and are searching all over the city." ”

Fang Xiaoli said: "Those two also went to the village, but the wicked head sent them to the city to inquire about the news." I think you have a lot of brothers, so you can help find it, and if you see it, don't do it, and report it directly to the government. These guys are powerful, you can't afford to mess with them. ”

"Okay. ”

Fang Xiaoli said: "We beat the four helpers on his village, and the head of the wicked man ran away somewhere? When we came back, we went to the village again to look for it, and the village was empty, and it is estimated that they also came to the city." If you don't come here in the future, he will take revenge on you. ”

"With Lord Zhu in charge of us, we are no longer afraid of these wicked people. ”

Fang Xiaoli asked, "Do you know Zhu Xuezhen in the city?"

The leader said: "Master Zhu is called Zhu Xuezhen." ”

Fang Xiaoli muttered, "It's really effortless. ”

The leader was puzzled, but said: "This Lord Zhu is a great good official, and he protects our people everywhere. ”

Fang Xiaoli said in her heart: "No wonder someone wants to hire a murderer to kill him." He asked, "Where does Master Zhu live?"

The leader said, "It's not far." With a finger with his hand, he said: "After two streets, in a small alley, I walked past four or five houses, and there was a clump of bamboo and a plum tree in the courtyard, which was his house." ”

Fang Xiaoli said: "Okay, if there is something, I will go to you, you must not come to me." ”

When the leader heard this, he arched his hand and said, "Goodbye, Fang Daxia." He turned and walked away.

Fang Xiaoli and the two returned to the hotel and walked into the room to rest.

The next day, after breakfast, Fang Xiaoli and the two paced square steps, shook the folding fan, and wandered around the street. When I came to the small alley that the beggar leader said, I walked through four or five houses, and sure enough, I saw a clump of bamboo, an old tree, and the branches and leaves stretched out to the courtyard wall. This is Zhu Xuezhen Zhu's home.

The two walked in front of the door without stopping, until they walked out of the alley, and then turned into another small alley, and then came to the street. Nanjing City is an ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, there are many historical sites, there are many lively places, and the two of them visited several famous places. At noon, I came to the Confucius Temple area, entered a restaurant, ordered a few famous snacks, lard dumplings, goose fat pastry, jade buns, soft fragrant cakes, mandarin duck cakes, the same asked for a plate, the two of them ate some of the same, the flavor is unique, and it is really different from the hometown. It seems that it is really good to leave home this time! Not only did I become a hero, but I also feasted on my mouth.

The two of them ate some and then stopped. Walked out of the hotel, walked into a teahouse opposite, sat down by the window, asked for a pot of good tea, while drinking and looking at the scenery of the Qinhuai River, painting boats and songs, the style of the Six Dynasties, floating on this slightly rippling river.

After drinking tea, they walked downstairs, and the two of them walked around a few more places, but they didn't realize that the sun was already in the west.

Twilight four, light and shadow hazy. Fang Xiaoli and the two slowly walked to the mouth of the alley, seeing that there were no pedestrians on both sides, the two walked quickly to the door of Zhu Xuezhen and Master Zhu's house, and knocked on the door.

"Who?" someone from inside walked in.

"Lord Zhu, it's us. ”

The wooden door opened on both sides, and an elegant old man stood in front of him.

The old man looked at the two visitors, did not know each other, and asked, "Who are you?"

Fang Xiaoli said: "We are foreigners, and we only arrived in Guicheng two days ago. May I ask if the old man is Master Zhu?"

The old man said, "It's the old man." ”

Fang Xiaoli said: "Master Zhu, we have something to do with you. ”

"Come in and speak. ”

Closing the wooden door, Master Zhu Xuezhen Zhu led the two into the room, there was no one else in the room, the old man lifted the teapot and made tea for the two. Master Zhu then asked: "Two sons, where is your hometown? What is the matter? Please tell me and see if the old man can help." ”

Fang Xiaoli said: "My name is Fang Yan, his name is Xiaoling, a native of Anhui, who admires the scenery of Nanjing and comes to play." Yesterday, I went to the Yungu Temple in the mountains to play, and I overheard someone saying that you are going to play a chapter and impeach the corrupt officials, and the corrupt officials are going to hire murderers to kill you, just tonight. ”

Master Zhu smiled "hehe", stroked his sparse white beard, and said, "I know who he is, but I'm not afraid of him." I have found out his true evidence, united with a few old friends, and this time I must bring him down and eliminate a great harm for the people. ”

Fang Xiaoli said: "He was ruthless this time, but he wants your life!"

Lord Zhu Xuezhen looked at Fang Xiaoli and said, "I think you are also chivalrous people, can you do the old man a favor, and catch this assassin tonight, which can also be regarded as adding a crime against him." How?"

Fang Xiaoli said: "We are here for this. ”

Zhu Xuezhen smiled "hehe": "Drink tea." ”

Fang Xiaoli took a sip as she said and praised: "Good tea!"

"This is a case I solved last month, and I haven't been willing to drink the good tea that people gave me. ”

Fang Xiaoli asked: "There are more than 20 children, who were abducted, broke their legs, and begged on the street, is Master Zhu in charge?"

"Yes, the case was reported yesterday morning, and I have already tried it, but the two people who are the head have not been caught until now. ”

Fang Xiaoli said: "I saw them yesterday morning, and they have sneaked back to the city. ”

Master Zhu stood up suddenly, slammed his fist on the wooden table, and said, "These two wicked people who have lost their conscience, I must catch them and punish them severely." ”

Fang Xiaoli said: "Actually, they are just accomplices, their backstage, we met yesterday, but he slipped away, and if you want to come, you will also come to the city." ”

"As long as I'm in town, I'll find a way to catch them. ”

By this time, the night was already dark. Fang Xiaoli said: "Let's hide in the back room and wait for that evil monk to come." ”

Lord Zhu agreed, and the two walked into the back room and hid behind the curtain.

Lord Zhu Xuezhen sat indoors, a candle was bright, the window was ajar, and the breeze was cool. Master Zhu took a copy of "Lisao" and flipped through it, looked at it, and shook his head and began to read it.

Fang Xiaoli and the two hid in the back room, thinking that this old man was not eating the ancients, and when danger was imminent, he was still reading "Lisao" there, but it was thanks to such a stubborn old man in this world that those corrupt officials and corrupt officials were restrained.

This Zhu Xuezhen is a native of Jianjiao Village, Henan Province, in his sixties, a lonely person, courageous, and deeply hated corrupt officials and corrupt officials. He has been an official for decades, and he has not fallen, and of course he has not been promoted, although his boss hates him, but having such a person to crack down on those corrupt officials can also play a role in calming the people's anger.

At this time, it was already the second watch, and it was dark outside the window. Suddenly, I heard a "bang", and a tall monk appeared in the narrow room.
