Liu Changjie looked at it very carefully and seriously.

Lu Xiaofeng looked at him, his eyes flickering, not knowing what he was thinking.

The Snake King and Zhao Ping'an were drinking a glass of wine on the side, and there were already several empty wine bottles on the table.

This underground king of Wuyang City, who has been tormented by disease and hatred for many years, seems to have been reborn today, and his whole person is full of vitality and brilliance.

Lu Xiaofeng persuaded the snake king a few words, but looking at his face that was flushed with excitement, he could only sigh in the end and drank it.

The wine was slightly drunk, and it was already dusk.

Liu Changjie finally put down the red satin in his hand and said with a smile: "There is indeed a secret on this satin." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "What secret?"

Liu Changjie: "This peony has a needle eye that is thicker than other petals. ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "And then?"

Liu Changjie: "Presumably the embroidery is two layers of thread, you can remove one layer, and there is another layer!" He smiled and said: "When others see him embroidering, in fact, he is removing the threads, so although the peony is embroidered by a woman, the embroidery thief may not be a woman." ”

Zhao Ping'an couldn't help but take another drink, the secret of this peony is very simple to say, but if you want to see the flaws without any clues, Liu Changjie's terrifying observation power is fully displayed.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Do you still think that Jin Jiuling is an embroidery thief?"

Liu Changjie: "Even if it's not him, it can't be separated from him." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "What is your evidence?

Liu Changjie pondered slightly before he spoke: "Since Brother Lu asked, he didn't hide it in Xia, it was a clue that someone revealed to Xia." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Who is it?"

Liu Changjie: "First of all, it was a catcher in a county near the South China Sea, and I once had some favors on him. I passed by him the other day and stopped by to visit him. As a result, he told me that before the red goods in the east of the town were robbed, Meng Wei had sent them a notice, asking them to report in detail the identities and specific itinerary of the martial arts people who had passed by the surrounding areas recently. ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "What else?"

Liu Changjie: "And after the loss of the dart silver in Zhenyuan, there were about forty catchers in Wuyang City, who were called out of the city by Lu Shaohua, and it took about a day or so to return." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "How did Liu Zhutou know this news?"

Liu Changjie smiled and didn't answer, this famous arrester obviously also has his own exclusive source of intelligence.

Lu Xiaofeng also knew that he was asking abruptly, and hurriedly said, "Brother Liu thinks they are going to carry the stolen silver for the embroidery thief?"

Liu Changjie: "I'm not very sure, so I later specially invited a catcher who was out of the city at that time to have a long talk." ”

Zhao Ping'an almost laughed out loud, and he could imagine that there must be someone who was not very pleasant in this long conversation.

Lu Xiaofeng obviously wanted to get it too, so he could only smile bitterly: "Brother Liu has gained a lot from this long talk?"

Liu Changjie: "It's a pity that there is not much to gain. The forty of them were only responsible for driving the twenty cars on the side of the road to a place arranged by Lu Shaohua, and then left. Presumably, another group of people will be arranged to take over. ”

Zhao Ping'an said: "Brother Liu thinks that the twenty carts are the dart silver lost by Zhenyuan?"

Liu Changjie: "I asked Chang Mantian, and the silver chariot he was escorting was twenty at that time. It's a pity that when Lu Shaohua took his men to catch the car, the twenty cars were all covered tightly, so it was not certain that the car was Zhenyuan's dart silver. ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "That's why you think that Lu Shaohua and Meng Wei are both suspected in this case." ”

Liu Changjie: "But they will never be the embroidery thief himself, at most he can only be an accomplice." ”

Zhao Ping'an said: "Because their martial arts are not enough?"

Liu Changjie: "Yes, although they are all good hands in the six doors, they are still far from the embroidery thief." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "In other words, this embroidery thief is not only strong in martial arts, but also has the ability to command these two famous arrests." ”

Liu Changjie: "There is only one person in the whole rivers and lakes who has this kind of ability." ”

Zhao Ping'an said: "There is definitely only one person. ”

Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly: "Jin Jiuling?"

Liu Changjie: "That's him." ”

The Snake King suddenly spoke, "How sure are you?"

Liu Chang Street: "At least sixty percent." ”

The Snake King said, "I bet." ”

Without waiting for Liu Changjie to speak, he said: "Although I have 3,000 brothers, there are less than 200 people who can really do this. ”

Liu Changjie: "That's enough, I just need your brothers to provide me with the locations where Lu Shaohua and Meng Wei haunt the most, and I'll go in and check the specific content myself." ”

The Serpent King said, "Okay." Where is Liu Zhutou staying? When I have news, I will ask my brother to send it. ”

He said it decisively and resolutely.

Liu Changjie's eyes showed a look of satisfaction, and he smiled: "How much filial piety silver does Lu Shaohua collect from you every month?"

The Snake King said: "Eight hundred taels, this is not a big number. ”

Zhao Ping'an said: "But I don't feel like you have a good opinion of Lu Shaohua." ”

The Snake King said coldly: "Me and my three thousand brothers, in the eyes of these people, are just tools that can be used, and some things that are inconvenient for these high-sounding figures will be sent to do it." ”

There was a sudden look of anger in his eyes, and he said, "There are many things we have done for them, you will not know and do not want to know. That's almost beyond the bottom line of 'people'. ”

Lu Xiaofeng sighed and said, "You never mentioned these things to me. ”

The Snake King said, "Because I didn't want to die at that time, and I still have unfulfilled wishes." Since my 3,000 brothers worship me as the boss, I have to let them live as comfortably as possible. ”

Zhao Ping'an said: "If you don't obey Lu Shaohua's orders, you will die?"

The snake king said desolately: "Since ancient times, it is an unchanging iron rule that the people cannot fight the officials. ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Now your wish has come true?"

The Snake King said: "Brother Zhao's great grace, I wish to repay you with a grass title ring in this life." ”

Zhao Ping'an said: "Brother Snake King doesn't have to be like this, if you want to repay me, let your brothers help Liu Zhutou close the case of the embroidery thief as soon as possible, and I will take Lu Xiaofeng back to Bixia Mountain as soon as possible." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "What are you doing back to Bixia Mountain?"

Zhao Ping'an said: "The day before you quietly took us away, Xue Bing found me and told me that if she didn't let you go down the mountain to investigate the case, you would definitely be unhappy, and she didn't want to follow you as a drag on you, so she only asked me to take you back after the embroidery thief case was over." ”

Lu Xiaofeng unexpectedly didn't jump up, but sat there stunned, as if he was stunned by Zhao Ping'an's words, but why did the corners of his mouth smile?

Liu Changjie smiled and said, "I promise you can take him back soon." ”
