Chapter 247: Something Happened
The mood of the four people is the same, they are all extremely worried. www.biquge.info But it was obvious that Qi Chu was more worried, and while waiting, he couldn't help but think of the incident fourteen years ago, when his only apprentice was dismantled and killed by his enemies. To this day, it is not known who did it. If it was the enemy who kidnapped Lan Ting many years ago this time, what would be the consequences, Qi Chu didn't want to think about it.
Yang Yixiao was not only worried but also a little scared, on the night of the fire in Yun Python Mountain, the wooden box that his father gave him was still in his sleeve. It was used against Master, but he couldn't do it. These days I was very tormented in my heart, and I didn't want to hurt my master, nor did I want my mother to die in vain. But I can't think of a way to get the best of both worlds. There were a few times when I really wanted to go to Master's room and tell the whole story, but would Master forgive himself if he knew the truth of the matter?
Time passed, and they waited from the afternoon to dusk, from dusk to the beginning of the night, but they still did not wait for the result. Qiu Qingman was very strange in her heart, even if the people she sent out didn't hear the news, they should have come back after going out for so long, could it be that something happened? She turned her head to look at her husband, and saw fear in Kanto's eyes. So there was a trace of fear in her heart, could it be that person who did it?
When she thought of this, she didn't dare to think about it, if it was really the legendary person who controlled all the forces of black and white in the capital, then this matter would be troublesome.
Qiu Qingman knew that her husband's thoughts were the same as herself, and if it was really that person, she would not be surprised. After all, there is nothing that that person would not dare to do!
Qi Chu pushed open the window and looked out, the jade shop opposite was already closed, and Qiu Qingman didn't have the heart to do business after such a big thing. At this time, a person came running from the other end of the street, although it was far away, but Qi Chu could tell at a glance that it was Qin to the bird. Suddenly, a hint of foreboding came over me.
Jumping out, a few dodges arrived in front of Qin Xiangniao.
Seeing Qi Chu suddenly appear, Qin Xiangniao was stunned for a moment, then bent over and gasped for breath, it seemed that he was very tired from running.
"Childe, something's wrong!"
"What's wrong?" Qi Chu's heart tightened, could he have guessed correctly?
"Xu, Miss Xu was taken away!" Qin finally straightened up, and he saw a bloodless face. Then I suddenly heard the sound of the wind passing by in my ears, and Qi Chu had disappeared.
Qi Chu was originally worried that Xu Jinyu would be very tired with her, especially in the past few days when she had lost her memory, she didn't know what had happened. It seemed that her body was very weak, so she was sent back to the inn first.
He didn't know that Xu Jinyu's martial arts were sealed in the meridians, otherwise how could she be left alone in the inn?
Back at the inn, standing outside Xu Jinyu's room, the door was open and there was no trace of struggle in the room. Obviously, the person who captured Xu Jinyu had a very high martial arts, otherwise Qin Xiangniao would not have been so late to inform him.
Downstairs, Qin Xiangniao and Kanto quickly arrived, ran upstairs and stood behind Qi Chu. No one spoke, and the hearts of the people were heavy.
Qi Chu walked in, closed the door, and sat in the room by himself. Looking at the empty bowl on the table, I reconnected everything that had happened in the past few days and relived it in my mind.
On the day of the opening of the second floor, he killed the tiger and eliminated a villain for the people. Immediately afterwards, he rescued Qin Pairniao, and on the same day, Shi Ziyu, Yu Yefeng, Shu Lingxue and She Ling left suddenly. Then he entered the palace to save Luo Caiyi, and at the same time, Lan Ting and Yang Yixiao were assassinated by the man in black. According to Yang Yixiao, the assassin was still the man in black outside Jinxiufang and Yangzhou.
He vaguely felt that there was a connection between killing the tiger, saving Qin and the birds, Shi Ziyu and the four of them leaving suddenly, entering the palace to rescue and assassinating the man in black. If there is a connection between these things, then what role does the messenger play in it, what exactly is written in the letter from Deathwater Villa, and why did the Man in Black assassinate Lan Ting?
The latter two things are no longer known, and now the key to the whole thing is on Bao inquiring about a person. So I pushed open the door and went out to ask Kanto and asked where I lived.
Although this bag is an inconspicuous little person, he is still a little famous in the capital. Of course, he must be notorious for his deception. Over time, the people in the capital knew that he was a liar, and the locals could not do their business and deceived outsiders.
Qi Chu asked Qin to stay at the inn and took them to the house where they inquired.
Half an hour later, I finally found the home where Bao inquired.
Yang Yixiao stepped forward and knocked on the door. But no one opened it, perhaps because they cheated too much on weekdays, and they didn't dare to come out and open the door at night for fear that someone would seek revenge.
It was a dilapidated mud house, and it was dark from the outside. Could it be that Bao Inquire hasn't come back yet?
The night breeze swept by, and Qi Chu suddenly asked a smell. It wasn't an ordinary stench, it was like a corpse! Qi Chu pushed the door and went out, lit the oil lamp in the house, and as expected, Bao inquired that he was dead.
The corpse was crawling with maggots, and it seemed that he should have been killed when he returned from delivering the letter.
When Qi Chu saw the corpse, he affirmed the thoughts in his heart, there must be some connection between these things.
Qiu looked at the corpse with a pale face, she was a woman after all, and this was the first time she had seen such a scene. However, it is still a few points stronger than ordinary women, and there is no gaffe.
"Report to the officer, this is murder. Qiu Qingman frowned, pinched his nose, and had already withdrawn from the house. She's had enough of the smell, it's disgusting.
"What did you say?" Qi Chu looked back at her, there was a trace of confusion in his eyes, as if he remembered some important clue, but he didn't seem to be able to grasp it.
"Report to the official, let the government find out who is the murderer. ”
Qiu Qingman explained, it seems that the whole thing is really troublesome.
Speaking of reporting to the official, Qi Chu suddenly thought that he was outside the Yamen prison in the afternoon, and he had been surrounded by officers and soldiers, and at that time, the prefect actually issued an order to withdraw the troops. But he killed the catcher and the old man of the yamen, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, this must be a capital crime. Why did the prefect order the withdrawal of troops?
I remembered that someone had said a few words to the prefect before he withdrew his troops. What the hell did that person say? Qi Chu turned around and left, he had to figure out what that person had said to the prefect now.
"Childe, where are you going?" asked Kanto as he ran forward
Qi Chu didn't have time to explain to him, so he only told Yang Yixiao to take Kanto and Qiu Qingman back first. He rushed to the yamen alone, hoping to get useful clues from the prefect's mouth.
