Chapter Seventy-Three: The Weasel Immortal Rises in the Wind and Rain (4)
Now that Xiaocui is dead, there is no proof of death, and things are always good and bad, which shows that Xiaocui's words before death did not lie, "Weasel Daxian" does have a secret that no one knows, and this secret is not beneficial to Daxian.
Thinking of this, Dou Jingpeng breathed a sigh of relief, this great immortal did have a problem, although he didn't know where the root of the problem was.
But paper can't contain the fire, and there will always be a day when things come to light, although there are many people in the house who can testify that Xiaocui's death is the hand of "Weasel Daxian", but everything always needs evidence.
Dou Jingpeng carefully examined the blood dart that shot through Xiao Cui's neck and then nailed to the pillar, this kind of dart is a common hidden weapon of the Northern faction, and now the most powerful secret weapon in the Central Plains is divided into two huge henchmen.
The northern faction and the south gate, the center of gravity of the hidden weapon of the northern faction is in front of the murder weapon, and it does not change direction after shooting, with the purpose of penetration, the advantage is that it is fast, accurate and ruthless, the most important of which is fast, and it is difficult for people with weak martial arts to catch;
The center of gravity of the hidden weapon of the south gate is in the rear, a shot flies out, it will rotate in the air, the direction is the angle of force of the launcher, for the purpose of cutting and scratching, the advantage is that it can avoid obstacles, and the curve kills invisibly, but the force is small and easy to block.
And the blood dart in front of him, the speed is so fast, the speed is not as fast as the ear, it comes from the hands of the northern faction.
And this murderer is a subordinate of "Weasel Daxian", which means that this "Weasel Daxian" may be a famous master of the Northern School, but this is only speculation.
The cause of the gentry's death has been determined, it is a mixed poison of the four insects and four grasses, the body can be buried, the room can be cleaned, Xiaocui's body does not have much effect.
Dou Jingpeng is now only looking forward to the end of the altar of "Weasel Daxian" as soon as possible, and he has been tossing for a long time, and he has not eaten lunch yet.
Now it has been nearly an hour past noon, and everyone is hungry, especially Dou Jingpeng, Situ Lanlan, Xiao Kaiyan and "Ye Xuanzi" who are running back and forth.
As soon as the gentry died, his wife was not there, and he had few children and grandchildren, and he was not around, so at present, the housekeeper Zheng Youcai had the greatest power and the most useful words, and the housekeeper had prepared a meal and was waiting for everyone to go to the meal.
Dou Jingpeng refused Zheng Youcai's invitation, and he, along with "Ye Xuanzi", Situ Lanlan, Xiao Kaiyan and Mu Shenxiang, decided to go to the bazaar to eat, just to hear more about the "Weasel Daxian" from the gossip of the people.
Fifteen catchers stayed and ate in the mansion, although Mu Shenxiang is a head catcher, but how can the people of Baiyun Town take these petty officials in their eyes, they only have "Weasel Daxian" in their hearts, so even if Mu Shenxiang wears official uniforms, the local people will be "outspoken".
Eight people rode horses, and Dou Jingpeng told Mu Shenxiang and the four of them that the owner of the noodle restaurant where they had eaten noodles just now had been killed, and they had eaten and went to see it again.
Mu Shenxiang was very surprised, what was the purpose of killing the noodle shop owner, and Mu Shenxiang kept thinking about this problem along the way.
When I arrived at the bazaar, there seemed to be a lot more people than when I came, and once I inquired, it turned out that the altar held by the "Weasel Daxian" had ended, which was good news for Dou Jingpeng and the eight people.
Eight people entered a very elaborate restaurant, of course, the main reason was that there were many people, all of them came from the west of the town, and they were clearly those who had just participated in the altar.
Eight people found a place by the window to do it, the wind is breathable, the peach blossoms in Baiyun Town are good, a few miles apart, the air is filled with a faint fragrance of flowers.
"'Weasel Daxian' is really good today, but it's a pity that I don't agree with each other, and I don't have a chance to be an immortal, as long as I was born two hours early, I will have the opportunity to become a disciple of Daxian. One of the guests said.
"Daxian said that the demonic spirit of Baiyun Town has not dispersed, indicating that there are still many little demons that have not been eliminated, we have to ring the bell five times tonight to disperse the soul of the monsters, those who have not participated in the altar, have not received the bell, I don't know how to spend tonight. The other guest almost burst out laughing, quickly covering his mouth and coughing.
The two continued to eat and chat.
"A rattle is only a tael of gold, it can drive away ghosts and suppress demons, turn evil into good fortune, it is worth it, fortunately there is the blessing of the great immortal, and the great immortal is really the blessing of the people. A guest said.
Xiao Kaiyan swallowed violently, "One or two gold is cheap, aren't these people stupid." ”
Xiao Kaiyan had seen a rattle on the waist of one of them, which was an ordinary bottle with a few marbles.
Situ Lanlan said: "No wonder Baiyun Town is so depressed, the people are poor, they are not wronged, they gave all the money to this 'Weasel Great Immortal'." ”
Eight people eaten, put down the meal money, and then walked out of the restaurant, rode a horse, and walked towards the noodle restaurant, eight people soon came to the noodle restaurant, the advantage of few people in Baiyun Town is that the horse is not blocked, and the road is unimpeded.
The eight people got off the horse in the noodle restaurant, and Mu Shen said, "Sure enough, after a fight." ”
Dou Jingpeng exclaimed: "No, Lan Lan and I, after Kaiyan and Brother Ye left, someone came again." ”
"It's not surprising, this is a noodle restaurant, of course people will come in and see if there is any noodles to eat, and when they see that the boss is dead, they will leave. "The wood god said.
"No, Jing Peng didn't mean that, after we all left the noodle shop, Jing Peng and I came back looking for the grass ring, the boss had died in a pool of blood, and then we left, at this moment after leaving, during this time, the noodle shop went through a fight. Situ Lanlan said.
Miss Lan Lan was right, it was true that after another fight, there was only one severed stool on the ground, but now there were a few more broken tables, the boss's body had been moved, and the words written by the boss behind it had been covered. "Ye Xuanzi" said.
"What the hell is going on, is it true that the enemy goes and returns?" Xiao Kaiyan rubbed his right hand with his left hand, and then rubbed his left hand with his right hand, and his eyebrows were full of mysteries.
Dou Jingpeng bit his lower lip with his upper teeth and thought hard: "The enemy did go and returned, they must have been afraid that we would find evidence, so they came back to destroy the scene and erase the words left by the noodle shop owner. ”
"Ye Xuanzi" nodded: "It is very likely that this is the case, the problem is becoming more and more confusing, I thought there was only one goal, but now there is one more, and now I have three kinds of speculations,
The first is that the subordinates of the 'Weasel Daxian' kill the owner of the noodle shop, and then come back to destroy the evidence, and finally meet another group of people, and then fight, so it is difficult to distinguish whether the group of people who appear later is friend or foe;
The second is that after we left, a group of people came, and they killed the boss, and the purpose may be one, that is, to frame us, and finally come back to destroy the evidence, and then meet the subordinates of the 'Weasel Daxian', then both sides are enemies;
The third is that this matter has nothing to do with the 'Weasel Daxian'. ”
"I agree with the second statement, and there are two reasons,
First, there are white cloths and white scarves on the ground, we have been to the Holy Ancestral Temple before, and we have seen 'Weasel Daxian' and his men, his subordinates are wearing white clothes and white gauze hats;
Second, when Lan Lan, Kaiyan and Brother Ye and I came back for the second time, the owner of the noodle shop was already dead, we asked the old people who set up stalls nearby, and they all said that we killed them, and the wicked people sued first. Dou Jingpeng said.
"Now the problem is getting more and more tricky, and only in the evening, when we visit the Holy Ancestral Temple at night, can the matter be revealed. Wood God said.
"I don't know how the martial arts of this 'Weasel Great Immortal' are doing, be careful in everything!"
Xiao Kaiyan said unintentionally: "Beicang Town, such a rich town has bandits, and poor Baiyun Town should have more bandits, could these things be done by bandits." ”
"How much money can an ordinary noodle shop owner have, and bandits won't find such a family. Judge Pen's gold ingots denied Xiao Kaiyan's idea.
The big-headed Gu Chunyao washed his face with his hands, and then said: "Boss, let's go to the Holy Ancestor Temple, and see how the altar ends, a broken bell is only one or two gold, and today's 'Weasel Daxian' has earned enough money from the people." ”
"But the people are stuck in the quagmire and don't know it, I must let the people of Baiyun Town see the true face of this 'Weasel Great Immortal'. Mu Shenxiang continued, "As a head catcher, you have to do a routine. ”
"Let's go, weasel immortal again!" Dou Jingpeng said.
"Wait, boss, I'll put a seal on this noodle shop, and I, as a head catcher, have the right to do so. The wood god dismounted again.
"Second Brother Mu, why are you sealed? There seems to be no useful evidence at the moment. Dou Jingpeng asked.
"I want to give him a turtle in an urn, let's put a seal, what will the other party think, they will think that there must be evidence inside, so the scene will be blocked, and when they are unmanned, they will definitely visit this noodle restaurant again." If they hadn't put a seal, they wouldn't have come. "The wood god said.
"Second Brother Mu is clever, and the road to his career will be smooth sailing. Dou Jingpeng praised.
"Hunt with a knife, and live up to its name!" Situ Lanlan said, at this time, Situ Lanlan was smiling like a flower, and she was captivating the country and the city.
