Chapter 126: Chasing the Murderer
If it was before he met Lili and other friends, Lu Heng would probably ask, "What's the matter with me?"
But this time he didn't, and instead asked a constructive question: "What are the characteristics of that gang of thieves?"
The mud bodhisattva seemed to be a little surprised, glanced at him, and said, "They are Hu people, with a tattoo of a red scorpion tattooed on their bodies, and they call themselves 'scimitar dead soldiers', but they are not ordinary hair thieves. ”
Lu Heng nodded: "Very good." That's enough. ”
"That's enough, where are you going to start?"
Lu Heng asked rhetorically: "If you are the leader of the thieves, what do you have to prepare first?"
The mud bodhisattva thought for a moment: "Blade? no...... It's a place to stay!"
Lu Heng smiled: "Yes, residence." A place to live for more than 10 people without being eye-catching. It should be large, somewhat remote, and preferably far away from the yamen. Well...... I happen to know of several such places. ”
The mud bodhisattva sighed, "You are indeed very smart. ”
Lu Heng said: "Since you praise you so much, I have something to say." Why don't you let your men go down and check out, but ask me to go?"
The mud bodhisattva said: "Because I suspect that there is a thief in the official palace.
The Scimitar Dead are a well-known group of killers in the Western Regions. The asking price of these dozen people is extremely high, and it is difficult for ordinary people to move. They came thousands of miles to Jinguan City, and they must have been instructed by some big man. It's not so much messing up the Buddha Festival, I think it's mostly for my head.
And now I can't trust others, I can only trust you, that's why I asked you to come out. Is this reason reasonable enough?"
Lu Hengqi said: "You trust me so much?"
The mud bodhisattva smiled: "Before you knew the whereabouts of that child, you were the person I trusted the most. ”
"You're smart too. Lu Heng waved his hand, "I'm going to work, I'll contact you when I have news, that's all." With that, he led a horse and left Daci Temple.
Lu Heng seemed to wander aimlessly on the streets, but he actually had a firm goal in his heart. After sparing a few circles, he came to the entrance of the West Market School.
Jinguan City is too big. At that time, Kyushu in the world was known as Yang Yi Yi Er, and Jinguancheng had a population of nearly one million, and finding a dozen or so Hu people in the middle was really no less than looking for a needle in a haystack.
But if you insist on fishing out these dozen or so needles, I'm afraid that only the people at the entrance of the school have a way. This is a well-known three-way zone. Three religions and nine streams, mixed fish and dragons, and the most well-informed information from all walks of life. You might find some clues.
Lu Heng bolted his horse, walked into a tea shop, took out three sticks of incense and lit them, and put a tea bowl upside down. When the runner saw it, he muttered a few words to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper came over with a smile.
"Dare to ask Ye Tai which way it is?"
Lu Heng raised the incense stick in the middle slightly, and replied: "The three main roads go to the center, which belong to cats." ”
The shopkeeper smiled: "It turned out to be a hero who came and went, disrespectful and disrespectful." Dare I ask you what to order?"
The two talked for a long time, but it was all black talk. Lu Heng meant: He is a snitch and wants to spend a lot of money to buy some news. The shopkeeper's door is clear about this set of incisions, and it is naturally warmly welcomed.
In fact, Lu Heng would not have done these things originally.
A person like him has no troubles, and if he encounters any troubles, he will solve them with a sword. But since he had friends, he gradually understood a truth: people have seven emotions and six desires, and eight or nine times out of ten troubles. If you don't have a heart, you can live a chic life, but if you have someone to care about, you can't get up.
And the most troublesome thing is that the so-called troubles cannot be solved by the sword.
Therefore, Lu Heng sometimes learned some ways to solve problems without using a sword. These slang words were taught to him by empty air.
I saw Lu Heng take out a piece of silver with five taels of silver and put it on the table, and asked, "I want to check a group of Hu people who have red scorpion tattoos on their bodies." Can you do it?"
The shopkeeper looked at the silver, pushed it to the side, and arched his hand: "Your Excellency is not from the government, right?"
"Of course. ”
"Well, I won't hide it......" The shopkeeper looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "This group of people you checked is called 'Scimitar Dead', I advise Your Excellency not to go to this troubled water." Dealing with them is not a joke, it will lose your head!"
The shopkeeper gestured with the edge of his palm to the neck.
"Understood. Lu Heng said. He touched it from his bosom again, took out a sky-blue stone, and threw it on the table. "Say it. ”
The shopkeeper smiled crampedly: "Master, we don't mean that......"
"No, that's what you mean. Lu Heng stared at him tightly, gently fiddling with the stone with his fingers.
The shopkeeper knows that this is called turquoise, and sky blue is the rarest. For the Han people, this thing is not as good as jadeite, and it is not as good as jasper, which is an ordinary ornament. But in the white tiger, turquoise is the highest gemstone representing auspiciousness, and a small piece can be exchanged for several ewes, not to mention this sky-blue superlative.
I saw the shopkeeper's eyes revolving around with the stone, and finally raised to stare at Lu Heng.
"They bought twelve good horses in Caojiaji in the south of the city, and some people saw them buy horses and went straight to Shuijingfang. I saw him casually take the silver and stone into his bosom, and whispered, "I didn't say anything, you didn't hear anything." ”
After the shopkeeper said this, he hugged his fists and left.
Lu Heng drank a big bowl of tea slowly before slowly walking out of the door.
One of the main streets in front of you leads to Shuijingfang in the east of the city, and the other leads directly to Caojiaji in the south of the city. He pondered for a moment, and then turned his horse down to the south.
When I arrived at Caojiaji, the snow was a little heavy again.
The crowing of donkeys and mules and the smell of defecation in the cold wind made people feel very sick. This Caojiaji is a place where cattle are traded in Jinguan City, and the market is open before dawn every day, and the market is close at this time. Therefore, the businessmen shouted and worked hard, and they all wanted to have a satisfactory end for today.
Lu Heng led the horse and walked slowly, and after a while, it attracted a lot of attention. His horse is ridden by the mud bodhisattva, not to mention that the dragon is planted in the earth, and it is also a good horse in a thousand. After Lu Heng swaggered a big circle, he stopped in front of a shed and asked, "Boss, are you there?"
The horse dealer hurriedly ran over and said, "This master has invited ......."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the BMW behind him at a glance, and couldn't help but sigh: "Good livestock!
Lu Heng shook his head: "Don't sell it, I'm here to spend money." Do you have a horse like mine? I want five, and silver is not a problem. ”
The horse dealer was stammered: "You really know how to joke, such a good horse has to be a year and a half before you can meet once or twice." You want five horses at once, Hugh said that there is no small shop, even the entire Jinguan City can't be found. ”
Lu Heng didn't talk to him much, so he ran to the next house with a sigh. Of course, the same is true of the store.
After a total of seven or eight walks, Lu Heng deliberately sighed: "Alas, it is so difficult for the huge Jinguancheng to buy a good horse, so that I can't spend the money." Let's eat and drink!" said that, he turned around and left Caojiaji.
But he doesn't pick the big road, he specifically looks for the kind of crooked, deserted and uninhabited dark alleys. Finally, after passing through the third street entrance, a group of people suddenly flashed in front of me.
The leader's face was covered with black veil, and he held a single knife in his arms, and shouted: "Slow!"
Lu Heng looked back, and there was another group of people behind him, sealing the mouth of the alley. He smiled and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
The man in charge sneered: "Boy, I'm afraid you're going to go to Lord Yama today!"
Lu Heng said: "Everyone, I have no grudge against you and no enmity, but why do you want to kill me?"
The leader said: "Damn, I'm afraid you're not a fool? Lao Tzu robbed the house, where are there so many why? Brothers, do him." ”
Lu Heng shook his head and sighed: "You can't blame me." ”
A moment later, a burst of blood wafted from the alley. Blood flowed down the canal and stood out on the snow. The dead were scattered all over the ground, and only the leader was left. Lu Heng didn't seem to move, and as soon as he raised his hand, he sent all these people away.
The leader's head shook like a swing: "Good man...... Grandpa is a good man, spare his life!"
Lu Heng had blood on his face and said with a smile: "Answer the questions well, and I won't kill you if you make it clear." He looked at the horses licking the blood and asked, "Do you usually rob money or horses?"
The man was already shaking like chaff, and said in a trembling voice, "The little one should ...... Should...... Damn, don't dare ......"
Lu Heng handed over the sword, put it on his neck and said, "Listen to the question clearly, don't say it's useless." ”
The man took a few breaths desperately and replied, "Horse robbery......"
Lu Heng smiled: "Very good, just answer like this." What to do with the stolen horses?"
"We have ...... ourselves There is a horse farm, and then contact the customer to sell. ”
"Has anyone bought a dozen good horses from you lately? Hear clearly, not the pack horses in the bazaar, but real war horses. ”
"Yes. ”
"Oh, who?"
"Hu people. ”
Lu Heng nodded, took out a piece of paper, handed it to the thief leader, and said, "You write down the characteristics of those horses one by one, and you are not allowed to make mistakes." When you're done, you can go home. ”
There was a hint of joy in the thief's dead eyes, and he dipped his fingers in the blood on the ground, and wrote without thinking: "Five-year-old horse, white hair, four legs with blue and white flowers, head to tail nine feet and one inch. Hoof to the top of the seven feet seven minutes ......"
It didn't take long for him to write, carefully blew the paper, handed it to Lu Heng and said, "Grandpa Haohan, the little one can go, right?"
Lu Heng read the content on the paper carefully, and replied without raising his head.
The man ran away while he was unprepared. But as soon as he ran two steps, he suddenly felt torn in the middle of his body. It turned out that Lu Heng split him in half with a sword. The thief saw that his body was divided, and the fear in his heart was so great that he screamed as he was dying.
Lu Heng said coldly: "Blame me, I didn't make it clear just now." To send you home means to go back to your hometown. Thank you for the information. After saying that, he flicked his sword and walked out with blood all over the ground.
The wind and snow are tighter.
