CHAPTER XLIII

The honest monk is gone, and this monk really never lies.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't continue drinking, but sat down silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

Hua Manlou said: "Jin Jiuling is cautious, exquisite, and knows the way to protect himself, so you don't need to worry about him." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I wasn't worried about him originally. ”

Zhao Ping'an said: "Then who are you worried about?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Ximen blows snow!"

Hua Manlou said movingly: "Yes, being able to kill people in front of the White Cloud City Lord, there are only a few swordsmen in the world who can have such skills." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "At least I only think of the West Gate." ”

Zhao Ping'an said: "If you can think of it, Jin Jiuling can naturally think of it." ”

Lu Xiaofeng nodded slowly and said, "If this matter is really done by Ximen, it will be fine, but if it wasn't for him, Jin Jiuling and they can't find the real murderer, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will go to Wanmei Villa." ”

Hua Manlou said: "You are worried that the owner of Ximen Village will not be able to provide evidence to prove his innocence." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Even if Ximen has alibi, he won't say it himself." ”

Hua Manlou said: "With his personality, he will indeed do that." ”

Zhao Ping'an said: "Are you worried that Jin Jiuling will put this matter on Ximen Fuxue's head in order to close the case as soon as possible and calm the anger of King Pingnan." ”

Hua Manlou said: "Jin Jiuling doesn't look like that kind of person. ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I also hope that he is not that kind of person, but the impact of this matter is too great, if you can't give an explanation as soon as possible, it will inevitably involve many people." I was afraid that he would be pressured to jump to conclusions. ”

Zhao Ping'an said: "Don't tell me that you plan to take this case on yourself." ”

Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly: "I haven't been arrogant to that extent, a swordsman who can kill people in front of Ye Gucheng, the lord of White Cloud City, is not impossible to kill me." ”

Zhao Ping'an suddenly said: "If the prince of Pingnan is really killed by Ximen blowing snow, what should we do?"

Lu Xiaofeng was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Ximen kills people, this person must have a way to die." ”

Zhao Ping'an said: "You trust Ximen Blowing Snow very much. ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because he is my friend, I never doubt my friend." ”

When they rushed to Wuyang City non-stop, three days had passed.

The gate of Wuyang City has been opened, and today the son is shengming, and he loves the people like a son. Even the powerful King of Pingnan could not completely block this important southern town for a long time.

Many of the streets are paved with bluestone slabs, and the red cotton trees are redder than maple leaves, and they are as brilliant as the sunset.

It used to be a beautiful city, but now it is being spoiled by the trappers who are all over the streets.

Fortunately, Lu Xiaofeng is indeed a very famous person, and after identifying himself to a few small catchers, someone soon came to receive them.

He was a short, sturdy, young man with gray hair, dressed as an ordinary businessman, but with blazing eyes, an eagle's nose like a hook, a faint bulge on his waist, and a soft weapon such as a soft whip and a gun in his clothes, perhaps chains and shackles. As long as a person who has been in the rivers and lakes for a few days, it can be seen at a glance that he must be a master of the six doors.

"Bald Eagle" Lu Shaohua, the chief catcher of Wuyang City, one of the nine famous catches in the world, and also the most famous catcher in the southeast area.

Now the famous catcher saluted Lu Xiaofeng very respectfully, and said, "Mr. Jin has already instructed, as soon as Lu Gongzi arrives, he will immediately invite him to Pingnan Palace." ”

Obviously, he also mixed up with Jin Jiuling at the beginning, although Jin Jiuling is no longer his boss, but his title has not changed.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "You boss Jin know that I will come?"

Lu Shaohua said: "Mr. Jin has long said that Lu Gongzi is a very righteous friend, as long as he knows what is happening here, he will definitely come to help." ”

Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly: "Maybe it's just because I'm born to work hard." ”

Lu Shaohua smiled again: "Originally, Jin Lao always had to come to pick up Lu Gongzi in person, but recently the affairs in the palace have been busy, and he really has no time to separate, so I ask Lu Gongzi to forgive me a lot." ”

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head and smiled: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being a figure in the officialdom, and his words are not leaky." Let's hurry up and meet your boss Kim now. ”

Jin Jiuling didn't seem to have changed much, he was still wearing first-class clothes, living in a first-class house, and drinking first-class wine.

But his eyes looked very tired, and if you looked closely, you could even find a trace of hesitation in the depths of his eyes, mixed with a little fear. Obviously, his life has not been stable these days.

For people like Jin Jiuling who are used to controlling everything, perhaps the "unknown" is the most feared existence for them.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "It seems that Brother Jin has not been doing well these days. ”

Jin Jiuling smiled bitterly: "The embroidery thief case has not yet been solved, and there has been another incident of the assassination of the prince, and I happen to be the head of the palace, how can life be better." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I originally thought I could bring you some useful good news, but now it seems that this news will not help you much." ”

Jin Jiuling said: "All I have heard in the past few days is bad news, as long as it is good news, even if it is small good news, I am happy to hear it." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "The real identity of the embroidery thief is likely to be a woman, and it is not a person, but a group of people. ”

Jin Jiuling said: "A group of people?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Yes, have you ever heard of the organization 'Red Shoes'. ”

Jin Jiuling said: "I have heard a little, it is said to be an organization composed of all women, and the mystery is even higher than that of the former Tsing Yi Building. ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "You might as well let your disciples and grandchildren investigate this organization, judging from the current signs, it is very likely that the series of crimes committed by the embroidery thieves is the behavior of this group of people." ”

Jin Jiuling smiled: "This is really the best news I have heard in the past few days. ”

Although he was smiling on his face, there was no smile in his eyes.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "It seems that this news is really not of much help to Brother Jin, is Brother Jin worried about the assassination of the prince of Pingnan?"

Jin Jiuling smiled bitterly: "Yes, this case is even more serious than the embroidery robbery case, after all, human life is at stake." ”

The main thing is that this matter is beyond your expectations, Zhao Ping'an pouted secretly. The embroidery thief case can be said to be in the hands of Jin Jiuling, and even the scapegoat has been prepared. And the assassination of the prince was definitely beyond Jin Jiuling's expectations, the key was that Ye Gucheng was present at the time, which directly led to the fact that even if he wanted to catch someone casually, it became extremely difficult. Will King Pingnan believe that a nobody can have the power to withstand Ye Gucheng's output and defeat the little prince in seconds?

Lu Xiaofeng said: "We met an honest monk after we left Bixia Mountain three days ago, and we knew that such a big thing had happened. ”

Jin Jiuling said: "So Brother Lu is the same as me in this case, and he is also black-eyed. ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "At the time of the incident, it was said that the Baiyun City Lord was at the scene. ”

Jin Jiuling said: "Indeed, this is also one of the reasons for my troubles, this assassin can kill in front of the White Cloud City Lord, and he will retreat with his whole body." There are only a handful of such people in the world. But now I can't figure out who this person is. ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Did Ye Gucheng say anything about that assassin?"

Jin Jiuling said: "City Lord Ye didn't say anything. ”

With a helpless wry smile, he said again: "The identity of the Baiyun City Lord is special, although he is nominally the guest of the Pingnan Palace, in fact, even the prince himself cannot affect his actions. ”

Lu Xiaofeng muttered: "Ye Gucheng fought with that assassin, if we can ask him to describe the scene at that time, it will definitely help us judge the identity of the assassin." ”

Jin Jiuling said: "I think so too, but I can't think of a reason to convince City Lord Ye for the time being." ”

Zhao Ping'an said: "Do you think that Lu Xiaofeng must have a way to make Ye Gucheng speak." ”

Jin Jiuling said: "Brother Zhao Zhuge is reincarnated." ”

Lu Xiaofeng jumped up and said: "I can have a fart method, let's go to Ye Gucheng now, and ask directly, he can still draw his sword against us." ”
