Chapter 13: Departure Separately
"My lord, something happened again. A bronze medalist has been trotting all the way since he entered the door, and he still looked panicked when he ran in front of Xiao Qingtan.
"What does it look like to be flustered. Xiao Qingtan looked at a fast catcher with an angry face, "How can you say that it is also a bronze medalist, you fuck, don't say that it is me Xiao Qingtan who will look like this in the future." After scolding a few words, Xiao Qingtan may still feel angry, and go up and kick the fast ass.
"Eh. He just screamed out in pain, but when he saw Xiao Qing Tan's iron-blue face, he forced down the moans that came to his mouth.
Xiao Qingtan glanced at him, "This is still the same, let's talk about something." ”
"Yesterday, another corpse appeared on the official road in the west of the city, and like the last two times, it seems that it was also killed by blood droplets, without a head. There is also a small jade plaque next to him. The bronze medal caught that Xiao Qingtan asked him to speak, and he didn't care about the pain on his body, and hurriedly said what he was about to report.
"Is it still written on the jade plaque?" Xiao Qingtan asked with a frown.
"Yes, it's still those four words on the sign. The bronze medalist replied honestly.
"Did you bring the body back?" Xiao Qingtan said.
Li Gang went with a few brothers, and it is estimated that he will be able to bring them back in a few hours. Said quickly.
Xiao Qingtan rubbed his swollen head and said, "After the corpse is brought back, tell me to come down, you can retreat." ”
"Yes, the subordinates retired. The bronze medalist knew that Xiao Qingtan was in a bad mood, so he didn't touch his brows and quickly retreated. Xiao Qingtan looked at the sky with a solemn face, "It's the third in this month, who did it?" There is not a little bit of information, and even the identity of the corpse cannot be confirmed. I'm afraid that the old man of the prefect will come to me for trouble. ’
I'm really afraid of something, Xiao Qingtan just muttered in his heart, the bronze medal that had just gone out here came in again, and knelt down in front of Xiao Qingtan, "My lord, the prefect Mo asks to see you." How do you arrange it. ”
When Xiao Qingtan heard this, he went up and kicked at the catcher, "Lao Tzu is angry when he sees you, he will come and arrange a fart to welcome people to the main hall, and I will go later." Then he went into the house.
The bronze medalist quickly got up and hurriedly rubbed his aching buttocks, and scolded in his heart, "It's my fault again, and if I don't let the prefect come, I will be fucking blamed." Thinking so in his heart, he hurriedly returned to the foyer and welcomed the prefect out of the sedan chair and into the main hall.
"Lord Mo, you drink tea first, and we will come right away. The bronze medal catcher quickly placed the people, and then asked the servants to serve tea and said.
The prefect found a seat and sat down, and said expressionlessly, "Tea is free, I can't get used to drinking tea from your six doors." Xiao Qingtan, let him hurry up for me, I have something to do with him. ”
The bronze medal was about to come down, and his heart said, 'Why didn't I know you were going to see him, but wasn't he behind?' I'll go, two bastards. He said with a smile on his face. "Master Mo, the tea from our six doors is not delicious, you can also drink two sips, and you will be happy to drink our adults. ”
The prefect glanced at the catcher, "Don't give me this set, you hurry up and call Xiao Qingtan out for me, otherwise I'm afraid you will have to repair the house today." ”
"What did you say, Lord Mo. "The bronze medal is about to laugh. But a voice came from behind: "Who came to me to repair the house?" Xiao Qingtan wore a neat flying fish suit with an embroidered spring knife, and walked out from behind with a swagger.
"My lord, the prefect has been waiting for you all along. "I didn't know that this was Xiao Qingtan acting, but I could only accompany him to finish acting, so he said.
When Xiao Qingtan heard the words, he hurriedly turned to the prefect and said, "Isn't this the prefect, which gust of wind blew you." Then he turned his head to the catcher, "You ignorant ones, go and get my handful of fine tea." Then he looked at the prefect again, "The subordinates are not sensible, and the prefect will forgive me." ”
"Master Xiao, I won't consume the tea. The prefect watched Xiao Qingtan's performance coldly and said, "I hope Lord Xiao can help me solve my doubts." ”
"Oh, Lord Mo, please speak. Xiao Qingtan said with a look of surprise.
"I want to ask Lord Mo about the headless case in the west of the city for a month, but there is a result?" the prefect asked, shaking his goatee.
Xiao Qingtan knew as soon as he opened his mouth that he was going to ask something, and he had to say with a bitter face: "Master Mo, you listen to my explanation." ”
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the prefect: "I'll help you with your results." The prefect looked at Xiao Qingtan's embarrassed face, "The headless case in the west of the city has not been solved for a month, but it has changed from one headless corpse to three, and one of them was just discovered this morning." You're great, Xiao Qingtan!"
"Who passed it out. Xiao Qingtan was angry when he heard that even the prefect knew that there was another murder in the west of the city.
"Don't look at them, it has nothing to do with them, the people in the city have spread it all over. Your six doors are now being scolded by the outside for being bloody, and now the whole city is panicking, you tell me what to do. ”
"Master Mo, I know it's hard for you, but you also have to consider the difficulties of me and my brothers, none of these three corpses have come to claim yet, there is no head, we don't even know who they are, where do you let me find the murderer. Xiao Qingtan also said softly.
"Xiao Qingtan, don't tell me this, the court raised you to solve these things, I will see the results in three days, otherwise you will wait for the old man to participate in you." The prefect stood up angrily and said.
"Don't be annoying! Old man Mo, don't pretend. I read you earlier for the sake of the people of Hangzhou and give you some face. Do you want to join me? Then hurry up and go now, Lao Tzu is not your subordinate, there is no emperor's decree or Lord Su's order, can you mobilize me? Xiao Qingtan was also forced out of anger by Mo Qingfu.
When Mo Qingfu heard these words, he was also angry with Xiao Qingtan, and said in a hesitant voice: "You~you~ you wait! The old man will go back and participate!"
"My lord, why are you so angry, adult. The bronze medalist had already come back and said with a frown.
This time, Xiao Qingtan didn't hit him, but sighed, "How do I not know that he is also for the people of this city, but you told this old man that those people looked like they were done by people on the rivers and lakes, will he believe it?" Xiao Qingtan glanced at the catcher who was packing up his things, "Even if he believes it, he will let us arrest no matter how powerful the characters are." Is it possible? If possible, the case in Jiaxing Mansion will not be closed. ”
"So you're deliberately trying to keep Master Mo from touching this case again?" said the bronze medalist.
"No, I'm just by him. By the way, let's go research and study the case, the old man said that I guess half of the excerpt has been written by now. Xiao Qingtan said and went inside.
"The little one has seen the young pavilion master, the young lady, and Mr. Dong. Outside the Siwen Pavilion in Hangzhou, a richly dressed middle-aged man led Qi Siyan and his party into the Siwen Pavilion.
"Don't be so polite, just tell me a little bit about the situation here. Qi Siyan smiled at the middle-aged man.
"Young Pavilion Master Xie. The middle-aged man turned around and took the three of them into the Siwen Pavilion, "Our Siwen Pavilion in Hangzhou, although it is not larger than Shuntianfu and Yingtianfu, is also one of the best pavilions in the sub-pavilions. I won't say much if you know these configurations, I have already let my subordinates move in, and you can go directly to rest when you wait for the young pavilion master. ”
"Well, you've got a good arrangement. Qi Siyan also nodded.
"Thank you for the praise of the young pavilion master, as for the management of this Siwen Pavilion, the villain has always been in charge, but the young pavilion master was ordered to take over, so naturally I didn't dare to take the position. Later, I will hand over the accounts and information of the relationship here to the Young Pavilion Master. The middle-aged man continued to speak humbly.
"You have a heart, but don't worry, Pavilion Master Wu, I am only temporarily the Pavilion Master of Hangzhou Siwen Pavilion, and you will have a chance in the future. Qi Siyan seemed to see the pimple in the heart of the Wu Pavilion Master, and said with a smile.
Pavilion Master Wu's face suddenly became subtle, "The little one should do his best to serve the pavilion. Hearing this, Qi Siyan knew that this Wu Pavilion Lord really regarded him as his master, and he also smiled and held his hand. Qi Siyao looked at the two of them indifferently, as if watching a disgusting drama, and couldn't help frowning. And Dong didn't understand that he was still looking at this scene indifferently.
"By the way, the young pavilion master, do you want to set up a banquet when you come to Hangzhou. Pavilion Lord Wu raised his head and asked.
"Putting on a banquet?" Qi Siyan looked at Dong in confusion.
Dong Bufu nodded, "Every time the master goes to the sub-pavilion, he will ask the sub-pavilion to send people to invite local officials and sects to gather, firstly, to find some support for Siwen Pavilion in the local area, and secondly, to show his strength." Dong didn't understand, he was puzzled, so he explained in detail.
"Oh, that's right. Then you can arrange it, just three days later, and let us breathe a sigh of relief. Qi Siyan also said casually.
"Young master, in fact, the master doesn't show up every time. Dong didn't understand, seeing Qi Siyan's somewhat reluctant look, he spoke.
"Uncle Dong doesn't need it, I'm not a father who is not qualified to be raised, and since I want to stay in Hangzhou for a while, it is also necessary to give these local snakes some sweetness. Qi Siyan said and slowly threw his hand behind his back.
"Yes, I see. Dong didn't understand and nodded.
"Xiao'er, we don't know when we'll see you again when you're gone, so the masters have prepared some gifts for you. Fang Xiao and the four elders of Long Yu were sitting in the room chatting together.
"Master, I'll come back to see you as soon as things are good in the north, and you don't have to prepare anything for me. Fang Xiao was very open-minded.
"Shut your mouth for me, what I said to you, can we still get it back?" Qin Wuxian said with a white glance at Fang Xiao.
The chess without children was also amused by Qin Wuxian's words. "Okay, Xiao'er, your piano master is not wrong, anyway, what is prepared for you will be given sooner or later. As he spoke, he took out a fan, and the tortoiseshell fan had a thin silk fan and a piece of honey knot Canaanite fan pendant. Qi Wuzi handed the fan to Fang Xiao and said: "Your fan is almost useless by your practice, this is for you, this is a relic of one of my old people back then, rest assured that ordinary weapons can't damage it at all." Fang Xiao took it and opened it, and saw a few bamboos jumping on the fan, and on the side was a bamboo poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Li Jianxun: "The Qiong Festival blows high and the wind branches are blowing, and the wind is handed over to me and I forget to return." The most pitiful sun, the shadow of the flowers and the full clothes. Fang Xiao was originally born and raised by a literati, and when he saw that he didn't love this fan, he said, "Thank you teacher for giving me a fan." ”
"If you like it, if you like. Chess Wuzi also smiled and stepped aside.
"Big brother from your fan, then I took it out too shabby. Qin Wuxian also shook his head and took out a jade flute, "Now you have also learned the method of internal force urging of these musical instruments, but it is really troublesome for you to carry the piano on your back all the time, this Xiao has been with me for a while, you take it and practice diligently." ”
Fang Xiao also took the jade flute and put it away solemnly, thanking him. Shu Wumo smiled and took out a sword, "I don't have anything to give you, I killed an opponent on the list back then, and his sword has always been with me, you can use it." ”
"The sword used by the people on the list?" Fang Xiao looked at this sword with some delight.
When Shu Wumo heard this, his eyes suddenly turned cold and said, "Xiao'er, you remember that there are never more than three swords in this world that can match the swordsmanship you use, and this Qingguang Sword must not be." ”
Fang Xiao saw that the book was so colorful, and he also put away the joy, "The apprentice understands, Master Xie gives the sword." Shu Wumo saw his expression change, and he was secretly happy in his heart, but he still nodded on the surface.
After saying this, Fang Xiao had already turned his head to the doctor. "Hey, you kid. Do you have to pick it out from me?" said helplessly.
"Naturally, the pharmacist will not be stingy. Fang Xiao also said cheekily.
"Hahaha, that's right, old medicine head, you should have some blood. Qin Wuxian also laughed.
"Get out. "The doctor has no medicine, and Qin Wuxian glanced at him, "I let you eat all the treasure medicine here, and I don't have any weapons." Yi Wuyao said, this seemed to think about it, stood up, came to a cabinet, took out a small bag, and handed it to Fang Xiao.
Fang Xiao took it lightly, opened it and saw that it was a pack of silver needles, "Since you have learned the needle method I taught you, it is in vain if you don't have silver needles." Although I taught you the science of life-saving, this silver needle can naturally kill you. I have only one request, your needle does not kill. The doctor said with his eyes narrowed slightly and looked at Fang Xiao.
Fang Xiao hurriedly put it away, pointed at the doctor and pointed at the sky and swore "I, Fang Xiao, swear to the sky today, the silver needle in my hand will not kill anyone, if you violate this oath, the sky will thunder." ”
Seeing this, a smile appeared on his face again, and he helped Fang Xiao up, "Good apprentice, I believe in you for the teacher." ”
"Okay, don't get tired of it. It's not too early, Xiao'er can set off. Ki Muzi interrupted the conversation with a smile. "Hmm. The three of them also nodded in unison.
"Apprentice Fang Xiao said goodbye to the four masters. Fang Xiao said solemnly and kowtowed three times. The four of them helped Fang Xiao up and sent him out of the valley.
"Alright, it's time for us to go. "Chess Wuzi stood in Taniguchi's eyes, full of determination.
