Zhao Lanjiang looked dazed.

Anyway, he is also a master of the Tongxiang realm, a bowl of noodles, those two pickpockets actually stole Vancouver's head under his nose, this is not the first time, last time in Suzhou, it seems that he also lost it. How unwilling is this Vancouver?

The local gangs are so rude.

Zhao Lanjiang looked directly at the shopkeeper, the boss was so cold by him that he waved his hand and said, "I saw it, but I don't dare to mess with the two of them." ”

"What identity?"

"One is called Wang Wu and the other is Zhao Liu, they are pickpockets under the Sihetang in the capital, and they are well-known habitual criminals in the capital, and they like to eat here after they succeed. Last time, they took three pairs of chopsticks from me. ”

Zhao Lanjiang asked: "Is the name so casual?"

Seeing his murderous face, the boss said, "Maybe there are other names, but it is estimated that you won't survive tonight, and it doesn't matter what you call it." ”

Zhao Lanjiang knew Xiao Jinyan, he said that he wanted to kill Vancouver, but most of that was to do something else, so he pretended to be Yuwen Tianlu and came to take the head of the Vancouver to ease the relationship between the two.

Now that the head has been lost, how can you not be angry?

Zhao Lanjiang was very angry.

"Don't be angry, this lord, that Wang Wu Zhao Liu, if you get stolen goods, you will generally go to Bada Hutong to sell goods, and by the way, if you want to recover it, it's not impossible. But don't say I told you. ”

"Bada Hutong, where is it?"

The shopkeeper smiled, "The place of fireworks and willow lane, a paradise for the rich." However, that is the territory of the Sihetang, so you have to weigh it up if you want to go. ”

Zhao Lanjiang asked the general direction, thanked him, and left the noodle shop. This place is not far from the Bada Hutong, and as soon as I entered the Hutong, I was stopped.

"Piaoxianglou has a big reward for drinks, if you spend ten taels or more, you will get ten taels! Big brother, come in and sit down?"

"There are booths in Yiluyuan, triple this consumption is free, and there are singing and dancing prostitute performances, it's your fault if you don't come once, and it's my fault if you don't come twice. ”

Eight alleys, people come and go, a number of courtyards, hanging red lanterns, a number of guys soliciting customers on the street, business has been sluggish recently, looking at Zhao Lanjiang like a foreigner, they are trying their best, trying to pull him into their own yard.

Zhao Lanjiang glared, "Get out." ”

When those guys saw it, they were immediately unhappy, "You want to find trouble? You can disrespect me, but you can't disrespect our profession!"

Zhao Lanjiang said, "I'm not looking for trouble, I'm looking for someone." ”

"It turned out that there were good girls, and I knew all the three hundred and sixty-six girls on this street, I don't know which one the guest officer was looking for?"

"Wang Wu, Zhao Liu. ”

A few guys listened, "So you're okay with this." ”

Zhao Lanjiang didn't want to waste time with them, so he took out a piece of broken silver, "Who told me whose silver it is?" ”

A group of men grabbed the silver and said with a smile, "Wang Wu and Zhao Liu just went in not long ago, and now they got yellow goods, and now it is estimated that they are drinking flower wine in Cuiweiju." ”

Sure enough, it's easy to do things with money.

Zhao Lanjiang took out another piece of silver, "Lead the way, find them, this silver is yours." ”

"Okay!"

......

Cui Wei Ju.

This Qinglou has the best location in the eight alleys, the largest scale, the girls have the largest cards, and there is an endless stream of customers every day, you can gamble for money, you can also listen to vegetarian songs, and of course, the skin and meat business is also indispensable.

Cuiweiju has only been established for less than a year, and on the surface, it is the business of the Beijing Sihetang, but in this imperial city, everyone knows that this Qinglou is covered by Zhang Shubao, the son of Lu Guogong, so no one dares to make trouble.

Wang Wu and Zhao Liu carried two packages of goods and came to Sihetang to sell the stolen goods, "We want to see Boss Lu." ”

A guy said, "Boss Lu and Gongzi Zhang are entertaining important guests today, so let's come back tomorrow." ”

happened to meet Zhang Shubao coming back from the toilet, saw the two of them, and said, "These two are?"

The guy said: "Brother in the cousin, go outside to do things, and come to deliver the goods to Lu Ye." ”

Zhang Shubao laughed, "Come in and have a drink before leaving!"

The guy was worried, "It's just that the two of them have low statuses, and I'm afraid of disturbing the elegance of the son." ”

Although Zhang Shubao is a nobleman, he spoke with a gangster spirit, waved his hand and said, "As long as it is a person who creates value for our Sihetang, we must treat everyone equally, there is no distinction between high and low, you have to remember." ”

Dude even said yes.

Wang Wu and Zhao Liu followed Zhang Shubao to the private room, and even kowtowed to Boss Lu, "Master Lu, the fresh goods that I just got today will be put here for a few days, as for the price, you can look at it!"

Thieves sell stolen goods, generally have to be stored for three days, which is also a rule. Some bitter masters have a good identity background, and if they lose something, the yamen will have to eat and hang, so gangs like Sihetang will abide by this rule. After three days, if no one comes looking for them, they can deal with it.

Sihetang Boss Lu is thirty-five or sixteen years old, and he is slightly drunk at the moment, and says to Zhang Shubao, "Why don't you let Zhang Shao give him long eyes?"

Zhang Shubao smiled, "How do I know this, there are distinguished guests from Dengwen Academy, and you still need us?" You say yes, Lord Wen?"

The so-called long eyes are actually gifts in disguise. Everyone knows it, but they don't say it explicitly.

Wen Dadao, "Eh, what's the matter?" I was supposed to be on duty in the courtyard today, and my brother invited me to drink, which is already very face-saving, where do you want anything from my brother?"

Zhang Shubao deliberately said in surprise, "My brother is already in Dengwen Academy today, and he is loyal and brave, and he will capture thieves, and tomorrow I can't say that Your Majesty will give you a reward." ”

Wen Dadao, "Actually, I also planned to stay in the courtyard and saw Xiao Jinyan being captured with my own eyes. ”

The person who spoke was none other than Vancouver, the president of the Dengwen Academy. After being attacked during the day, Xiao Jinyan said that he wanted to kill him, he planned to do it, and borrowed Dengwen Yuan, Tiger Guard, and Mr. Ping to the courtyard, originally wanted to risk his life, but Zhang Shubao came to invite him again, so he sent a "stand-in" to sit in the courtyard, and he ran to Cuiweiju to drink.

Zhang Shubao waved his hand, "Don't say it, drink!"

The three of them laughed, and there were six bewitching Qinglou women, who came over and poured wine for the three of them, and Wang Wu and Zhao Liu swallowed their saliva directly.

Lu Lao Avenue, "Let's open things." ”

Wang Wu opened the package he had stolen earlier and placed it on the table, and the jade bracelets, pearl agate, and gold and silver jewelry were piled up on the table.

"Lord Wen, give me a price. ”

Vancouver glanced at it, these things are only a few hundred taels of silver, nothing particularly valuable, it is a lot of income for Wang Wu and Zhao Liu, but for Vancouver, it is not in the eyes of him at all.

"It's only four or five hundred taels. “

Zhang Shubao gave a look, and Boss Lu understood, "My lord, in terms of martial arts strategy, it is not as small as you, but on this, it is still a little eyesight." Look at this jade hat, green and blue, it is the best. It's worth 100,000 taels. ”

Vancouver borrowed the wine and said, "This broken hat is worth 100,000 taels, how about I sell you one?"

Boss Lu smiled, took out 100,000 taels from his arms, and respectfully handed it over, "Cheng, this is a silver ticket, you take it first, when you get the goods, and then ask someone to send it over." ”

Vancouver pretended to excuse himself, and then put the silver ticket in his arms, "Then I'll go back and let the people in the yard give you a smack." ”

Zhang Shubao picked up his wine glass, "Boss Lu, you have picked up a big bargain again." ”

"Thanks to Zhang Shao's support!"

Zhang Shubao toasted Vancouver with a glass of wine, "My father has something to do today, and he can't come in person, so he specially instructed me to give a glass to Lord Wen, and if the court is useful to our Zhang family in the future, just give orders." ”

Vancouver said, "They are all officials of the same dynasty, sharing worries and solving problems for Your Majesty, they are all helping each other, helping each other, ha!" and pointed to Wang Wudao, "Come, you kid is doing a good job, I will reward you with a glass of wine." ”

Wang Wu was so excited, this is the dean of Dengwen Academy, in his eyes, he condescended to the sky, and drank with him, a pickpocket who was a three-minded and nine-rate pickpocket, and couldn't help but kneel on the ground, grateful.

Boss Lu glanced at another package, and said, "Zhao Liu, why don't you send another one up?"

When Zhao Liu heard this, he held the package with both hands and put it on the table, "Please take a look." ”

Zhang Shubao said, "Brother, you took advantage of it. If you guess the bid this time, let it be for me. ”

Vancouver said, "You two little brothers are quite capable, looking at the package, the weight is not light, and it is estimated that it is a lot of silver." ”

The package is unwrapped layer by layer.

Tick.

Tick.

There is blood coming out.

Vancouver smelled a smell of blood and frowned, "What is this?"

A bloody human head!

Zhao Liu also panicked.

How so?

Obviously, that guy was like a baby when he went in, and they came non-stop after they got their hands on it, how could it be a human head?

I knew it before, so I would have taken a look before I came.

Zhao Liu's intestines were blue.

Wang Wu was also so frightened that his face turned pale, and he glanced at the head, and then at Lord Wen, and was even more dumbfounded.

Zhang Shubao also noticed it and wondered, "How can this head be so similar to Lord Wen?"

Vancouver glanced at it, and his color changed.

"Where did you get this?"

Wang Wu and Zhao Liu saw that they were causing trouble, and they didn't dare to hide it, 1510, how to eat rotten meat noodles, how to meet a middle-aged man, and how to steal the package.

"What does that big man look like?"

"Eight-foot build, burly build, about forty or fifty years old. ”

Vancouver thought in his heart, it doesn't sound like Xiao Jinyan, who is this? Today, the Dengwen Institute has set up a net of heaven and earth, how can the head of this "stand-in" appear here?

Could it be that something happened in Dengwen Hospital?

In an instant, he was completely drunk.

"No, I'm going to take a look at the temple. ”

Zhang Shubao said, "It's better to accompany you next." ”

At this time, I suddenly heard someone shouting outside the door, and before I could go out to investigate the situation, I heard a "bang", and the door of the private room was kicked open.

Zhao Lanjiang walked in.

He saw Wang Wu and Zhao Liu, and also saw Zhang Shubao, and there was a person standing next to him, he couldn't help rubbing his eyes, and muttered in his heart.

How did you come back to life?

I cut off his head.

Seeing the head on the table again, Zhao Lanjiang understood, it turned out that the one killed in Dengwen Courtyard just now was a Xibei goods.

The Lord is here!

Because Zhao Lanjiang was wearing the mask of Yuwen Tianlu, Zhang Shubao didn't know him, but Vancouver was so frightened that he lost his soul.

"You, you...... Yuwen ...... Tianlu ......"

When Zhang Shubao heard the word Yuwen, he was also paralyzed with fright, and sat on the chair.

Yuwen Tianlu fell, Lu Guogong worked hard to purge Yuwen Tianlu's comrades, and today it fell into his hands, wouldn't his life be guaranteed?

Zhao Lanjiang ignored Zhang Shubao, staring at Vancouver with his eyes, since he admitted his mistake, then make a mistake, so as not to let people recognize his identity and be unfavorable to himself.

He said coldly, "With you, you are also worthy of calling the old man's name?"

Vancouver kept retreating, and Zhao said, "Kneel." ”

Vancouver asked, ?" Kneel, will your lord spare my life?"

Zhao Lanjiang shook his head, "No, it will be more convenient when I cut off your head." ”

Today, in order to lure Xiao Jinyan into the court, almost all the power of the Dengwen Academy was arranged in the Dengwen Academy, and Vancouver secretly came to Cuiweiju, not even a retinue was there, and he didn't expect that the other party would come to the door.

A homicide caused by a head.

Vancouver hated Wang Wu and Zhao Liu in his heart at the moment, but with the existence of Zhao Lanjiang, he didn't dare to make any moves at all.

Cuiwei is inside, and the highest martial arts is this Sihe Hall master, who was also a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple back then, and knows the martial arts of the Xuanzhong realm, and it is easy to deal with ordinary thieves, and it is not enough to deal with "Yuwen Tianlu", which is not enough to stuff his teeth.

At this moment, Boss Lu took a step forward.

Zhao Lanjiang asked, "You want to stop me?"

The master of the Sihe Hall shook his head, "No, my clothes are custom-made in Ruifuxiang, and I am afraid that you will get dirty when you do it, so I will make way for you." ”

As soon as the words fell, Vancouver suddenly raised his hand, and three hidden arrows shot out of his arm, lined up, and shot towards Zhao Lanjiang.

Under the candlelight, the arrows were blue, apparently coated with poison.

In the room, the space was small, and Zhao Lanjiang had no room to hide at all.

To be precise, Zhao Lanjiang didn't want to dodge at all.

He waved his hand, and three rays of true qi popped out from his fingertips.

Ding Ding Ding.

The Hidden Arrow sank into the wall, leaving only three tail feathers less than half an inch, trembling incessantly.

Vancouver jumped up, kicked the window with both feet in the air, and was about to flee from the window, only to see Zhao Lanjiang swing his short sword.

Thump!

Grunt.

Fluttering, is the sound of Vancouver's body falling outside.

Grunt, is the sound of a Vancouver's head falling in the room.

Panicked shouting was heard outside.

"Murdered!"

When the guests saw that there was a headless person in the courtyard, their bodies were still convulsing, and they were so frightened that they fled one after another.

There was silence in the room.

Everyone looked at Zhao Lanjiang, he didn't speak, and no one dared to move. Zhao Lanjiang looked at Zhang Shubao, "You are the son of Lu Guogong?"

Zhang Shubao stammered, "From the blood relationship, it is counted." But from a social and ethical point of view, I don't recognize this father in my heart. ”

"Unfilial son!"

Zhang Shubao knelt down, "Dad, the child is not filial." You're not going to kill a child, are you?"

In order to save his life, Zhang Shubao even changed his father.

Zhao Lanjiang was surprised, "We have no grievances and no enemies, why should I kill you?"

Zhang Shubao sighed, slowly got up, looked embarrassed, stood next to him, and said in his heart that this little life could be saved.

"This Vancouver thief's ambition, I have long seen him as unpleasant. Good killing, adults!"

Zhao Lanjiang didn't bother to bother with him, picked up the package, wrapped the head of the Vancouver stand-in, and wrapped the previous package to wrap the freshly cut off head, and slowly walked out the door.

These two packages, both of which are night clothes, look similar. As soon as he walked out of the door, Zhao Lanjiang suddenly hesitated.

In the hurry he left just now, he also forgot which one was Vancouver and which one was the stand-in.

It doesn't matter, the two heads are given to Xiao Jinyan, let him pick it slowly.

Zhao Lanjiang thought so.

......

Zhang Shubao walked away from the ghost gate, frightened, and lost the interest in drinking, so he hurriedly called Boss Lu and asked him to send a few masters to escort him and get into the carriage by himself.

The carriage slowly drove out of the Eight Great Hutongs.

I drank this flower wine and almost died.

No wonder I met the fortune teller two days ago and said that it is not good for me to have a bad year, especially at night, and never go out.

At the beginning, he looked at the fortune teller's ragged clothes, holding a broken bowl, holding a broken white flag, claiming to be a half-immortal body, looking like a stalker, Zhang Shubao almost let people beat him.

It seems that the number of lives is such a thing, you can't believe that it exists, and you can't believe that it doesn't exist.

No, tomorrow I have to find someone to invite the fortune teller over, and let him calculate a good hexagram, and the price will be higher.

As he walked, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Zhang Shubao asked, "Why don't you leave?"

Suddenly he heard footsteps, and he opened the curtain to see that the four guards, as well as the coachman, had run away without a trace.

On the empty street, there was only one carriage, one person.

"What the hell!" Vancouver scolded, "Boss Lu, see if Lao Tzu won't clean you up tomorrow." ”

At this time, I heard a humane, "The moon is dark and the wind is high at night, when you kill people and set fires." ”

The voice was ethereal, as if it were a woman's voice.

"Who are you?"

The woman said, "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is who you are." ”

"Do you know who I am?"

The woman said, "Of course I know who you are." ”

"Now that you know who I am, and you're still pretending to be a ghost with Young Master Ben here, believe it or not, Ming'er asked my father, Lu Guogong, to arrest you all?"

The woman laughed, "I don't believe it. ”

Five or six black shadows surrounded the carriage, these people were burly and had a strange appearance, and they did not look like they were from the Central Plains.

Zhang Shubao was scared, "Do you want money? I have a lot of money!"

The woman said, "No money." ”

Zhang Shubao shouted, "Then if you want to rob the sex, I can also reluctantly cooperate." ”

The woman smiled, "Don't be sexual." ”

"No money, no sex. Zhang Shubao was about to go crazy, "Do you want my life?"

"Don't. ”

"And what do you want?"

The woman said, "I want the land." ”

When Zhang Shubao heard this, he grew so big, and it was the first time he heard that he didn't need money for robbery and asked for land, so he said, "You know my identity, and naturally you also know that I have good land at home, as long as you protect my life, my father will give you land." ”

The woman said, "We want a bit more land." ”

"How many?"

The woman said lightly, "Eight hundred miles of Shenxian Valley, one city and eighteen counties." ”

Zhang Shubao was stunned and said, "You are from the Northern Zhou Dynasty?"

"Zhang Gongzi, please come with us. ”

A hood was covered, and Zhang Shubao felt that his eyes were dark and he fainted.
