The sky dawned, the morning light pierced the clouds, sprinkled a faint light, and gradually woke up the sleeping people, Xiangrui Teahouse unloaded the latch, the sound of wiping the floor and wiping the table mixed with the crackling sound of the abacus, ushered in a busy day.

A little boy lay on the countertop of the shopkeeper, playing with the objects on the table, and the shopkeeper was helpless, "Ouch... The little master is here again, what do you want to eat? Sweetheart cake, jujube paste pie or crisp cheese? Uncle Sha will make it for you. ”

The little boy pouted and supported his chin with both hands, "I don't eat anything, why don't you play with Uncle Sha with me!"

The shopkeeper was a little distressed, and he played with the little master all day long, not to mention that he had no time to take care of the teahouse business. With this physical strength alone, after all, he is not confused, how can he compare to an energetic child who runs crazy all day long, at the age of the little master, it is the time to love to play, and if you go on like this, you have to endure it.

was hesitating to say what reason to excuse himself, but the little boy was unhappy, "Uncle Sha is annoyed by me, and he doesn't want to play with me?"

"Where?" the sand shopkeeper shook his head again and again, and decided to accompany him to go crazy for another day. At this time, a serious and concerned voice called, "Ping'er, have you made trouble with Uncle Sha again?"

When the little boy saw the visitor, he stuck out his tongue, and the sand shopkeeper hurriedly led the child's hand to the visitor, "The owner, Mrs..."

The child shrunk his head, "Dad, mother..."

The man took the child's hand, "How many times have I told you to study hard, but you always don't listen, and you always have to run here to make trouble." It's so stubborn, you can't teach it well. ”

The woman next to her was anxious and stopped the child behind her, "Ping'er is still young, teach it slowly!"

The man sighed helplessly, "A loving mother is a loser!"

The shopkeeper also laughed and persuaded, "The owner, the little master is still young, and he is the age when he loves to play..."

The man frowned and feigned anger, "You are used to him!"

......

Dreaming back to the past, it is like a different world, with the care of my father and mother, and the company of Uncle Sha, it has become an unattainable dream......

The night was deep, and the candles on the table were burning, trying to illuminate every part of the room.

In the first-class wing room of Mozhou Miyue Restaurant, Xu Zining lay on the soft couch and fell asleep, the corners of his eyes were always wet, Xu Weixiang sat on the edge of the bed, fed him medicine, wiped his mouth from time to time, and couldn't help worrying in his heart, "The second prince has been asleep for several days, and there is no sign of waking up, I think when the eldest son was seriously injured, I think ...... when the eldest son was seriously injured."

What Xu Weixiang said later, Lu Shiqing didn't hear clearly, and his thoughts drifted to the clouds...

The trick that Xu Zining and Shi Yixiong used when they fought that day - Burning Sky Palm, although the final result was a defeat for both sides, but Shi Yixiong avoided it, Xu Zining's skill was not very deep, and the Burning Sky Palm did not exert its greatest strength, even if it was counterattacked into internal injuries, as long as it was taken in time to protect the heart, it could be alleviated, and then more conditioning afterwards, drinking medicine on time, and not using internal force in a short period of time, there should be no problem. But now...... I'm afraid it's just a heart disease!" Lu Shiqing sighed heavily.

At this time, the flames on the table seemed to burn to a black head, crackling and exploding, Lu Shi glanced over, only to see a figure looming at the door of the room. Then he instructed Xu Weixiang to take care of it, then got up and returned to his room, and the black shadow also followed.

Seeing that there was no one around, the black shadow gradually revealed his figure, this person was dressed in black, and it was Feng Yi, the leader of the secret guard who was dormant in Mozhou, Feng Yi walked in front of Lu Shiqing and bowed slightly.

Lu Shiqing waved his hand to signal him to get up, "You don't have to be so polite to me." You came here late at night, presumably there is news from some other secret guard who disappeared for no reason?"

"Yes. Feng Yi lowered his head, "They are near Luojiabao, it's just ......"

Lu Shiqing saw that Feng Yi lowered his eyes, his eyes dodged, and he knew that there must have been an accident, either he defected or died, and the secret guards of the Hengshan faction were all strictly assessed and well-trained, and those who were sent to other places were carefully selected and would never rebel. The most likely is death

Thinking of this, Lu Shiqing sighed lightly, "They all ......"

Feng Yi nodded, "Yes." The subordinates led people to conduct a comprehensive search, and in a deserted courtyard that was inhabited, they found their... Corpse. The corners of Feng Yi's mouth twitched, "A total of twenty-five people......"

"Corpse?!" Lu Shiqing frowned and clenched the teacup fiercely, "I hurt them." ”

Feng Yi's voice was a little sad, "It's the murderer who is cruel... The subordinates carefully investigated, and these twenty-five people were all swords in the throat, and other than that, there were no other wounds on their bodies, and there were not even traces of a fight. ”

"Murderer?" Lu Shiqing chuckled, the one who could have such the ability to secretly attack and kill without letting the opponent react in the slightest was either the killer of Ling Ye Palace, or ...... Lu Shiqing suddenly thought of Hongyuan Villa, the branch hall they set up here, Yingtian Teahouse, secretly raised a group of well-trained killers... Moreover, the master of Luojiabao has been secretly doing ulterior business with Hongyuan Villa.

Lu Shiqing's mind was a little confused, if these conjectures were true, how would Ouyang Ze look at it, and how should Li Zifeng deal with himself? Lu Shiqing suddenly came back to his senses, "How is the situation in Luojiabao?"

"My subordinates took people to investigate day and night, but they didn't see any living people, and those guards and the Hengjiang man named Ashqi you said were all dead.

"Dead, died from the collapse of Luojiabao?"

Feng Yi shook his head, "No, they are all swords in the throat, one blow is fatal, and the cause of their death is the same, they must have been killed." Looking at the modus operandi, his subordinates dared to guess that the murderer was the same person. ”

Lu Shiqing sighed lightly, what he planted was what he sowed, no matter how cunning Ashqi was, he couldn't escape the fate of being wiped out in the end, and this time he couldn't be resurrected.

The subordinates also found a box of gold bars and a box of tough clothes in Luojiabao, which were transported to the stronghold. ”

Lu Shiqing exhaled tiredly, "Got it." "Compared to twenty-five human lives, these gold and robes, which do not play a substantial role, seem to be insignificant again.

Feng Yi seemed to think of something, took out a small package from his body and replied, "When my subordinates took people to explore Luojiabao, I found a swollen piece of unusually bright flowers in the back garden, which was a little weird, so my subordinates took the initiative to pick a few and bring them back. With that, he handed the package to Lu Shiqing.

Lu Shiqing opened the package and looked at it carefully, inside were bewitching-looking, brightly colored flowers, beautifully overheaded, gently fanning the wind to the nose with his hand, the unusually fragrant smell rushed in, Lu Shiqing thought for a while, and put it away again, "You have a heart, these things, maybe they can help us a lot." ”

The room fell silent, and Lu Shiqing lowered his eyes again, "Where are their corpses?"

"My subordinates have ordered someone to bring it back to Yizhuang, although the weather is cold now, but after all, it has been a long time, I'm afraid..."

"I know, I'll go and see it as soon as it's dawn, if there is no abnormality, I should be buried!"

"Yes. ”

In this investigation, although the drug-making stronghold of Lingye Palace was destroyed, Lu Shiqing was not happy at all, Shi Yixiong fled, Xu Zining was injured, and so many lives were buried in vain, which can be described as a great injury to his vitality.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Feng Yi disappeared. Lu Shiqing showed that the person who was surprised to come in, and after the people outside got the answer, they pushed the door and entered, it was Xu Weixiang, and his face couldn't hide the excitement, "Uncle Shi, the second son... Wake up!"
