Chapter 22: Murder for Money

The family surnamed He, it is estimated that there are no three major trends, and they laughed and made up nonsense, combined with the clan gate, and explained to Chen Tong. The Crane family, the shrunken clan, is an inconspicuous family in the mouth of the sudden.

"Brother Crane is so humorous, listening to your conversation, I want to see it for myself!" Chen Tong didn't believe it, thinking that Crane abandoned You's modest, weak family, how could he afford a luxury carriage.

Laughing at himself, he said: "Brother Chen is reasonable, the cow dung is covered with flowers, so change to a simple carriage below." ”

"No, no, no! I said casually, I can't control my mouth, Brother Crane, don't care. Chen Tong hurriedly explained.

"That's just right, casually, casually, casually!" he laughed, his hands shaking in the air.

"Brother Crane is like a star in the sky, it must be you who is dazzling!"

"Brother Chen's words, wanton swaying, export into a chapter!"

Chen Tong laughed along, complimenting each other, laughing constantly along the way, and the words of praise never disappeared.

The two returned to the carriage, and Chen Tong thanked him for his help this time, and if he needed it in the future, he said that he left a temporary residence, the Qin family in the west of the city.

"Brother Crane, the coming day is long!"

Later in the night, the two Xiaosheng said goodbye to the others and returned to the main house of the Qin family to tell their father what had happened.

"Now that we've got the sign, let's go back. ”

He asked the groom to drive back to the Moqiong Inn.

Drivingβ€”β€”

The carriage returned along the street, the original way, the night scene at that time, gradually came to an end, the shops were lively, the guest officers of the teahouse laughed and talked about the world's affairs, the drunken young man fell on the street, the people closed the door one after another, and the love of the inn hugged each other and fell asleep.

Phewβ€”

"Ling Xing, come, go home. ”

When the Moqiong Inn arrived, Yan Zhang took the lead in getting off the carriage, carrying Gu Qianxu on his back, and letting Ran and the groom follow. Carrying Gu Qianxu on his back, he entered the inn in a hurry, and the steward smiled at the words, and asked the idle guy to lead the nobles to the 05 compartment on the Wu floor.

"Your Excellency, please first!" the man bent down and stretched out his arm.

"No, I know the way. He smiled and refused.

The steward personally came out of the counter, and saw that Yan Zhang had already gone upstairs, and his voice was properly controlled, "Your honor!

Moqiong Inn is in Pingjing City, belongs to the first-class, settled in the west of the city, the southeast of the Ping'an Street, is a wide street, perennial flow of people. Moqiong Inn is more than 16 meters high, there are ten wings on each floor, there are two guys at the entrance of the corridor, and the floors are high and low.

Yan Zhang gently pushed open the zero five chambers, Hu Xi and Old Man He were idle and bored, playing chess to relieve their boredom, and there was no one in sight.

"Hey, Xiao Qianzi is back. Hu Xi heard the sound of the door, looked up, and Yan Zhang came back with Gu Qianxu on his back.

"Grandpa Hu, we're back, and the sign is also available. Gu Qianxu lay on Yan Zhang's back, and the silver black fox lay in his arms and fell asleep quietly.

Hu Xi glanced at it and asked, "Surprised, didn't you come back with you?"

Yan Zhang squatted and put down Gu Qianxu, came to the second elder, sat on the stool, and said with a smile: "They are in the back, and they will be there later." ”

At this time, he suddenly pushed the door in, and the carriage followed, pointing and saying, "Old Hu, I'm not wrong." ”

As soon as the former finished speaking, the latter arrived. Old man He lifted the chess pieces in the air and suddenly landed on the chessboard, there is no doubt that Hu Xi lost.

"Hey, you're cheating!"

"The soldiers are not tired of cheating, three losses and two losses, tonight's match, there is a result. Old man He smiled kindly.

"Hey, if you weren't distracted just now, how could you have a chance to win, don't count, I'll regret it first. "Hu Xi is not convinced, and he is making a fuss about regretting the chess, and then deciding the winner.

"The Holy Doctor Hu is playing Laipi again!" Old Man He smiled and pointed to Huxi, the chessboard is like a battlefield, and he cannot regret it.

Suddenly came to Hu Xi's side, took out the brand he bought with a lot of money, Hu Xi took the brand, gestured in his eyes, and said with a smile that the brand was nothing, and the shabby brand was worth fifty gold.

"Grandpa He, my father. ”

Gu Qianxu looked around, his father didn't know where he went, and he didn't see anyone.

"Le Tu, I have a bad stomach, and I am squatting in the toilet on the ground floor. ”

Old man He asked Yan Zhang to take a look, and then we would discuss the accommodation issue and the matter of tomorrow's auction house.

"I'll go back as soon as I go. Yan Zhang got up suddenly, pushed open the door and rushed out.

Old man He scolded Yan Zhang, like a reckless man, rude and rude, and laughed abruptly.

The two guys standing in the corridor on the Wu floor, seeing the bang of the 05 compartment, a middle-aged man came out of the door, and the steward explained that the Wu floor 05, 06 and 08 had nobles temporarily live, so that they could be entertained. Looking at the posture of the big man, the guy thought that he was not taking good care of him, which angered the nobleman, and the big man hurried to the entrance of the corridor.

"Nobleman, if there is inadequate hospitality, you scold the little one to relieve his anger!" The tall and thin man, his eyes darkened, and he bent down and bowed to apologize.

Yan Zhang looked dazed, "What do I scold you for." ”

"Then if you have something, just tell the little one!" there was a fat man next to him, smiling timidly.

"I'm looking for a buddy. Yan Zhang touched the back of his head and smirked.

"Little Helper!"

The fat man and the thin man scrambled to answer, and asked where the nobleman was looking for him, and Yan Zhang scratched his ears lightly, saying that his buddy was in the latrine on the ground floor of the inn.

The fat man's fat hand clapped on the thin man's shoulder, and his eyes met firmly, "I'll leave this matter to you." ”

"No, you can just take me with you. ”

Yan Zhang asked the thin man to lead the way, and went to the toilet to find it himself.

"The little one obeys the order, the nobleman, please first!"

"You please, I don't know the way. ”

The thin man suddenly realized, laughed and scolded his head for not working, and let the nobles see the joke.

Moqiong Inn, the hall on the first floor is spacious and bright, the stage is white-faced and panda-eyed, and the official uniform is flat-hatted. ”

"Good, good singing!" The audience applauded, and some nobles came here to have a good time, and sent servants to take out silver tickets to reward.

There are ten tables under the stage, fruit plates and snacks are placed on the table, and the seats are never vacant.

The thin man took Yan Zhang around the hall on the first floor and went to the back corner of the door, Yan Zhang went in alone, and the thin man waited outside. Soon after, a man lowered his head, covered his face, and deliberately hid something around his waist. Hurrying out, the thin man was about to ask him, when he heard a hoarse cry in the latrine.

The man heard the shouts coming from the latrine, and fled in panic, but the thin man realized that something was wrong and chased after him. The men in the United Hall finally captured the man, and the steward searched the man's body, with a sharp knife hanging from his waist, his rough clothes stained with blood, and a money bag in his pocket.

The thin man suddenly realized, and ran all the way back, but before the steward could ask, the thin man had disappeared, and he was afraid that something would happen, so he asked a few guys to follow and take a look.

The steward stepped onto the stage, "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient! There is some emergency, please wait! I will definitely give a satisfactory statement afterwards!"

"Steward Liu, the people who are making trouble now are panicking, what is the matter?!" Wang Jingguan stood up.

"Don't hide it from Lord Jingguan, this matter in Xiaozhan is suddenly strange, and someone is killing him with a knife here!"

"What! Dare to be so arrogant in Pingjing City, it's okay, take the official to take a look!" Wang Jingguan was furious.

"Someone has already been sent, and Lord Jingguan is coming with the little one. ”

Wang Jingguan, who was furious, got up and waved his sleeves, and the steward hurriedly stepped down to lead the way. Wang Jingguan came to the outside of the dark latrine, covered his nose and said, "It's really lawless!"

A group of people behind Wang Jingguan joined in the fun, and the city had been peaceful for a hundred years, and there had never been a strange thing about seeking money and killing people, but it actually happened tonight.

Yan Zhang was carrying a woman on his back, the thin man was supporting Le Tu, and the rest of the guys also hurriedly came out of the toilet, and the steward asked Yan Zhang what was going on with the woman on his back, and Le Tu replied loudly behind him, "She is injured! There is a knife wound in the abdomen! Call the doctor!"

Wang Jingguan hurriedly dispersed the crowd, anxiously following Yanzhang, the nearby medical hall and pharmacy had closed, and the woman was seriously injured, and she was afraid that she would not be able to return to the sky.

Yan Zhang's back was wet with blood, drops of blood fell, staining the ground red, and the dying woman, with a hideous face, was in pain.

"Is there a doctor here? The doctor is benevolent, save her!" Wang Jingguan asked if there was a doctor, stop the bleeding first, hoping to buy time.

No doctor responded, no one stood up, they all watched the excitement, and the steward shouted for help, asking the doctors present to give it a try. For some reason, several doctors were reluctant to give it a try, so they shook their heads helplessly and said they couldn't stop. Yan Zhang scolded them loudly, they didn't try, why did they say no.

In the palm of his left hand, the red blood flowed, pouring down, and when Le Tu was fighting with the thief, he held the sharp knife with his bare hand, and a hole was cut, and crimson blood flowed out. Le Tu endured the pain, asked the thin man to go to the 05th chamber on the Wu floor, and told the people inside to come down quickly.

As soon as Le Tu's words fell, the thin man ran away, ran all the way upstairs, and arrived at the Wu floor in one breath, and the fat man at the entrance of the corridor didn't know what was going on, so he teased and stopped the thin man.

The thin man gasped and yelled, "Stop making trouble!

The fat man was stunned for a moment, stood still in place, the thin man pushed the fat man away, panted and ran to the zero five compartment, and pushed open the door without hesitation.

"Nobleman, a little one dares to disturb, and someone is dead!" the thin man leaned against the door, looked into the room, and said in a rough voice.

Suddenly turned around and asked what was wrong, the thin man explained his intention, there was a thief on the first floor, and the woman was stabbed in the abdomen. A big man's hand was scratched, and the hospital and pharmacy closed early.

"Who told you to come. Hu Xi asked hurriedly.

"Noble, buddy. ”

"Suffered!"

The thin man couldn't speak for a while, Gu Qianxu reacted sensitively, and what the guy said was his father and Uncle Yan Zhang, who put down the silver black fox that had just woken up in his arms, and whispered to it: "Ling Xing, don't run around, I'll go and see." ”

Listening to people's words, the silver black fox wagged his tail and nodded, and Gu Qianxu said to Ranran, "Brother Ran, my father has an accident." ”

"What! let's go take a look!" hurriedly tidied up his clothes, walked downstairs with a vigorous pace, and Gu Qianxu hurriedly followed behind and went together.

Hu Xi was afraid of acting recklessly, so he took out the wooden box on the shelf, put it on his back, and asked Old Man He if he was going forward together.

"No, I'm too old to stand the toss, and it won't help if I go. ”

"It's useless to be old, you can't be old, look at me, my body is bone, it's tough!"

The horseman fell asleep on the table due to fatigue, and the old man He's legs and feet were inconvenient, so Hu Xi laughed a few words and let the thin man lead the way, otherwise it would be too late, and the gods would not be able to save him. The thin man nodded hurriedly and led Huxi forward, explaining the specific situation to Huxi along the way.
