Chapter 40: The Beginning

Xue Nong also took the lead and walked into the study, and found a Taishi chair and sat down. Fang Xiao fell a little behind, and after Li Gang handed over the things to him, he also walked into the study, and then closed the door.

"You're Fang Xiao. Xue Nong also stared at Fang Xiao up and down and asked.

Hearing this, Fang Xiao also knelt down and said, "Xia Guanxiao has seen the head catcher. ”

"Get up, now is not the time for us to say hello. Xue Nong also raised his hand lightly and said.

"Xia Guan understands. Fang Xiao said and put the file of this case on the desk, and then said: "The whole incident starts with the headless case in the west of the city. Fang Xiao just wanted to continue, but Xue Nong interrupted him: "I know everything before, Xiao Qingtan even told me about the definition behind the scenes of the Water Moon Pavilion, all I want to know now is what happened in the Chengxi Okura last night." ”

Fang Xiao looked at Xue Nong, who had a solemn face, and nodded and said: "After discussing with Lord Xiao, we came to the conclusion that the Water Moon Pavilion may have stored the grain in the Chengxi Warehouse, and the specific reason has already been written in the file, so we decided to divide the troops into two ways, with Li Gang leading someone to steal the Water Moon Pavilion, while Lord Xiao and Lord Xuewu went to the Chengxi Warehouse together to check whether the grain was hidden there." ”

"Since there is no blood to follow, it should be feasible for the two of them to get out even if they are ambushed. Xue Nong also saw the key to the problem at a glance and asked.

"That's right, but there was a slight change, that is, Xuewu was led away by a swordsman halfway, so that Lord Xiao Qingtan walked into the courtyard of the big warehouse in the west of the city alone. Fang Xiao had already asked if there was any blood, so he knew a lot about these.

"Being able to lead away the blood is a sign of two things. Xue Nong also frowned and said, "One is that that person's martial arts are good, at least the light skills are superior, otherwise he doesn't have the ability to lead away the blood Wu, and secondly, the person behind the scenes understands the blood Wu, and even Xiao Qingtan, he accurately judged the personalities of the two of them." ”

"Personality?" Fang Xiao asked with some puzzlement.

"That's right, it's personality, blood is my apprentice, and his temper is actually hot, although he has cultivated a lot over the years, but he can't stand the provocation, so last night, that person must have shown off his skills in front of him. The second is Xiao Qingtan, although Xiao Qingtan is smart and sleek, his lack of personality lies in arrogance, so even if Xuewu chases that person, the probability of Xiao Qingtan opening his mouth to dissuade him is not high, of course, even if Xiao Qingtan opens his mouth, Xuewu will not listen. Xue Nano touched his chin and analyzed.

"You're a god. Fang Xiao also looked at Xue Nong in surprise.

"It's just experience, it's all an afterthought. After Xue Nong said this, his face was full of deep unwillingness.

"Wait a minute, chief catcher. Fang Xiao said and walked quickly to the bookshelf, took out the letter he had put up before, and said, "My lord, this is also Lord Xiao's masterpiece, but it is too involved, I don't dare to act without permission." ”

Xue Nong saw that his expression was solemn and hurriedly took it, and after looking at it, he raised his head with a cautious face and said, "Does anyone else know about this matter except you?"

"Except for Xia Guan, no one has read this letter yet. Fang Xiao also said.

"Well, don't tell anyone about the contents of this letter for the time being. Xue Nong paused and said, "Including Xuewu, but you also arrange some people to secretly keep an eye on those two big friends." ”

"Yes, Xia Guan understands. Fang Xiao said.

"Come on, you are Fengqing's son-in-law, so my Uncle Sheng can't owe you. Xue Nong also opened his mouth when he saw that he was down to business, "But now that the matter is urgent, I don't have time to see that girl." ”

"Yes, Uncle Xue, I understand, and I understand when I want to be sad. Fang Xiao also said when she saw Xue Nong say this.

"That's right, the girl has always been sensible. Xue Nong replied to Fang Xiao's words while looking at the file. Just chatting, a little catcher ran in and said, "Chief catcher, Governor Zhou and Governor Yang came to offer condolences." "Originally, it was natural to arrange for the blood to deal with it outside, but the status of those two was too high, and the six doors were part of the officialdom, so they naturally needed to come forward.

Hearing this, Fang Xiao and Xue Nong also glanced at each other and said, "Cat crying mouse?"

"They must come, or they will be too presumptuous. But now we have no choice but to let them act in front of Qing Tan's spirit, I hope Qing Tan doesn't blame us. Xue Nong also shook his head bitterly and walked out of the study.

In the inner hall, Zhou Bochang and Yang Fengzhi were sitting respectfully and worshipping. Xue Nong also waited for the two of them to finish worshipping before walking over with Fang Xiao from the side.

"I've seen Lord Zhou, Lord Yang. However, my six doors are in a big trouble, so I don't have to be more formal. Xue Nong also simply arched his hand. Yang Fengzhi was about to say something, but Zhou Bochang had already stopped him and said: "We understand, Xue Zhutou is good to take care of, if there is a need to send someone to the government office." After speaking, he simply saluted, and walked out of the inner hall with Yang Fengzhi.

Fang Xiao squinted his eyes thoughtfully, while Xue Nong sneered at the corner of his mouth. Xuewu had recovered a little now, and when he saw that the two of them were also looking different, he said, "What's wrong with you?

"It's not wrong, it's wrong. Fang Xiao spoke first.

"What's wrong?" Xue Wu was still confused by the second monk.

"Not to mention the rest, first of all, a governor and a governor have no reason to be so polite. Fang Xiao said.

"Fang Xiao is right, no matter what happens to our six doors, it has nothing to do with their mansion, so when I am so strong, it makes no sense for them to cross so easily. Xue Nong looked at Xue Wu and said.

Xuewu also nodded and said, "The apprentice is stupid. ”

"Not only that, Uncle Xue has become the acting chief catcher for less than an hour, even if these two people get the news in advance, they will not be able to accept the news so indifferently. Fang Xiao continued to speak.

"But what does that mean?" asked Bloody Nothing.

"This shows that they just came to worship Xiao Qingtan and then go through this ceremony, and they have no intention of talking to us. Xue Nong looked at the blood that had not come back to his taste, and sighed and said.

"What's more, they obviously want us to be entangled in this matter of Brother Qing Tan for a longer time. Fang Xiao squinted her eyes and said suddenly.

"I can see it too, it looks like we're going to pick up the pace. Xue Nang also nodded and said.

"Could it be that the two of them are also from the Water Moon Pavilion?" said Xuewu's eyes suddenly widened.

"What's the matter, do you still want to fight them?" Xue Nong shouted as he looked at the blood.
