Chapter 123: The Blind Man Who Sells Rice Balls (2)
When I asked where the Night Pearl was, Bajie looked at it and replied to me, "The Night Pearl has been taken away!"
"When Toyohashi died, the Night Pearl should still be in his hand, and he was taken away after his death, so his hand still kept in a grip state. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
I have to say that this analysis of Bajie is still very reasonable.
It's just that as soon as Toyohashi died, all the clues were interrupted here.
Thinking like this, Bajie seemed to have the same idea in his heart, so he asked, "Master, what should we do next? There shouldn't be any clues here!"
When he said that, I could only nod yes, and he was right, but we didn't get to the point where we had no way out.
Now there are two roads in front of us, one is to ignore this matter, and leave the city directly, and it is a hundred.
That being said, I've never been a half-person, and this incident smacks of a very strong sense of conspiracy, so I can't leave it alone.
The second road is the road we are going to take, tonight the third watch, the ancient bell tower, the blind man who sells rice balls!
"Let's go back to the inn first!"
Bajie seemed to be a little incomprehensible and asked: "Master, the inn is already dead, and now the officers and soldiers should also go there, aren't we going back to find trouble?"
I smiled in my heart, and I felt that Bajie had also become interesting, and I actually knew that I was afraid of trouble.
I didn't bother to explain to him, and said, "Don't ask too much, we'll go back now!"
With that, we immediately left the place, and although the residents were afraid that something uncontrollable would happen and wouldn't let us go, we left.
Just like Bajie said, when we came back, the inn was surrounded by officers and soldiers who rushed to hear the news, and they didn't let us in.
I was about to take out the Feather Emperor Golden Order, when I heard the guy from before shouting: "Master Jun, it's those two people, and the two of them are murderers!"
I was speechless when I was squirted by that guy, maybe he held a grudge against me for scaring him, maybe he would beat him.
As soon as he said this, the sergeant of the inn immediately came in a crowd until he came before us.
Seeing that the comer was not good, Bajie immediately advanced to me and protected me.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but feel a little warm in my heart, although he became Bajie after amnesia, but he was really good for me and really regarded me as a master.
Thinking of this, while feeling guilty in my heart, I only hope that his memory will never be restored, otherwise the situation between me and him will become troublesome......
"Come on, detain these two people first!"
As soon as we met, there was not even the most basic interrogation, and the person shouted like this, which made me a little incomprehensible.
He was a little too hasty to do this, and he tried to condemn us by taking that guy's word for it, which was too much.
Without waiting for them to make a move, I directly showed the Feather Emperor Golden Order, showed them it, and asked, "Do you know what this is!"
The ordinary sergeant on the side naturally didn't recognize Emperor Yu's golden order, and when he was about to make a move, he was stopped by the man.
"Feng Ping, the garrison of Xia Guohao Dingcheng, has seen the Great Qin Holy Envoy!"
When he said this, the people around him were absolutely dumbfounded, and they didn't expect me to have such an identity.
With a sneer, I asked Feng Ping first, and then asked him: "Feng Ping, let me ask you, what is the sin of slandering the imperial court officials?"
"This ......"
It seems to have something to do with this shopkeeper, he wants to say, but because he can't say anything, he can only keep silent.
I had already thought of this when he was so hasty before, and now naturally there will be no surprise to force him to say a word.
"If you don't say it, you're shielding the slanderer, and it's the same sin, you know!"
My words were very serious, Feng Ping was silent again, and finally decided to give up the shopkeeper, although it was related, he couldn't put himself in for the sake of the shopkeeper.
"Slandering the imperial court officials for no reason is a capital crime!"
As soon as he said this, he suddenly scared the shopkeeper stupid, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"Knowing what kind of sin this is, you know what to do next!"
Feng Ping immediately shouted: "Come on, take this criminal down, put him in prison, and wait for his fate." ”
Then, the two sergeants took the shopkeeper away, and in the process, the shopkeeper didn't resist at all, maybe he was really scared and stupid.
When they left, I smiled and asked Feng Ping, "What is your relationship with that little er?"
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "My lord, he is my brother-in-law. ”
After speaking, he was probably afraid that I would punish him, so he immediately said: "My lord, I will definitely deal with this matter impartially, I will do what I should do, and I will definitely give an explanation to my lord!"
I can only smile bitterly when I say this to him, I just want to teach the shopkeeper a lesson, so that he can have a snack in the future, and I don't want to sentence him to death because of this kind of thing.
"Just let him stay in prison for a few more days, teach him a lesson, let him remember longer, there is no need to lose his life because of such a trivial matter. ”
He immediately understood what I meant, and immediately knelt down on one knee in front of me, and said aloud, "Thank you, for your extrajudicial kindness." ”
Shaking his head with a wry smile, I asked him to get up and asked, "I have something I want to ask you, and you must answer me truthfully." ”
He replied in a sincere voice, "If you say it bluntly, I will answer it truthfully." ”
I was very satisfied with his attitude, I smiled and nodded, and asked, "Do you know the blind man who sells rice balls in the ancient bell tower of Hoding City?"
He was stunned for a moment and said, "My lord, I haven't heard of this person!"
Hearing him say this, I instantly felt a little strange, he was a garrison officer in Hoding City, and he didn't know this blind man who sold rice balls, which was a bit strange.
At this time, a soldier beside him spoke: "My lord, the villain has heard of this blind man who sells rice balls. ”
"Oh!"
When I heard the soldier say this, I was overjoyed, and I immediately said to him, "Tell me everything you know, and if the news is true, you will be rewarded!"
The soldier immediately said: "The villain was on duty at the ancient bell tower all night, and when it was about the third watch, he found that there seemed to be a lot of people gathered there on the side of the ancient bell tower. ”
"It's getting late at night, and it stands to reason that the people in the city are sleeping at home, but there are a lot of people there, which is very strange. ”
When the villain went to the ancient bell tower, he found that there was no one left, and I don't know if everyone was gone, or if the villain was wrong. ”
The next day, the villain visited the people near the ancient bell tower to see if they knew what was going on. ”
"As a result, those people said they didn't know, but the villain felt that they were secretive and didn't dare to say it, and after that, an old beggar who lived closest to the ancient bell tower told the villain that it was a blind man who was selling rice balls!"
"He only said this, no matter how much I coerced and tempted, he refused to say half a sentence again!"
I have to say that this story is not only not good, but it also sounds a little creepy, but I feel that it is not small.
Feng Ping immediately asked, "There is such a thing in Hoding City, why don't you report it as soon as possible?"
The soldier was also a little helpless, and said, "My lord, this kind of thing has no evidence, and no one will believe me if I say it!"
I also smiled helplessly and said: "This is indeed true, and the death of the two people in the inn, as well as the death of Fengqiao in Yanshui Lane in the north of the city, are all related to the blind man who sells rice balls." ”
Feng Ping was also taken aback when he heard this, and asked, "My lord, there are also people who have died in Yanshui Lane in the north of the city?"
"That's right, he just died, I guess your government hasn't reported it yet!"
As soon as I said this, the garrison officer finally understood the seriousness of the matter, and he felt panicked, and asked me, "My lord, what do you think we should do now?"
"You let the two corpses in the inn take them away first, I won't sit idly by and watch this matter, so let's solve it, you just treat it as if nothing happened, everything is as usual, and wait for my orders at the same time, how about it?"
When I said this, I was undoubtedly taking over his tricky matter, and he was naturally happy, and immediately thanked: "Then there is Master Lao!"
I was also a little speechless, I waved my hand and said, "It's okay, you do these things well now, just take your people and retreat." ”
He is naturally obedient to me now, and he will leave here with people immediately.
Before leaving, I suddenly remembered something and immediately instructed him: "You'd better suppress this matter first and don't report it." ”
He was stunned for a moment, probably not understanding, so he asked: "My lord, this matter is reported and coordinated by the top, it should be better!"
I'm actually worried that the interference of the above person will cause me too much unnecessary trouble, but I can't say this to him directly.
"Think about it, what a murder case is that three people died, and if this case is solved by you alone, how much do you think you can benefit from it?"
He didn't turn the corner all of a sudden, and said for a long time: "My lord, you solved this case, what does it have to do with me?"
I am not ordinary speechless, I can only say it more clearly, "I am the Great Qin Envoy, do you think I will covet these credits?"
"On the contrary, it's you, you're just a garrison officer, if you help me solve the case, I will give you all the credit, do you think you can get a chance to get promoted?"
This idiot, when I was like this, he realized that it was so stupid that I wanted to beat him.
After he left, Bajie said speechlessly, "Master, is that guy as stupid as a pig?"
I really don't know how it feels to hear this, but I really want to say that many times you are not as stupid as a pig, and you are embarrassed to talk about others.
But considering that he has become a lot smarter lately, in order not to discourage his enthusiasm, I just thought about it in my heart and didn't say it.
Entering the inn, the rest of the guys in the inn were respectful to us, thinking that Feng Ping told them something.
I don't really like this kind of deliberate respect, but I don't bother to care, anyway, we'll leave tonight, and we won't necessarily come back to this inn after that.
At the end of the second watch in the evening, Bajie and I left the inn together and went to the ancient bell tower.
As we approached the other side, we encountered something like the sergeant had said, and there was indeed a sense of uproar over there.
As I was about to walk forward, I found a lot of eyeliner lurking around the ancient bell tower, presumably to monitor the surrounding situation.
When the soldier came this way and was spotted by the eyeliner, they went back to report it, and these people went into hiding, and the soldier naturally pounced.
Thinking about this, I had a different idea in my mind.
Those people all went in directly, most of them should be martial arts people, why can't we go in directly, we can be regarded as martial arts people standing on a high place.
Thinking of this, I went directly with Bajie, and when I got to the nearest eyeliner, I directly asked Bajie to catch that person.
These eyeliners are just qi swords to the entry realm, how can they be the opponents of Bajie, and they were captured alive all of a sudden.
"What's your name?"
Sensing that the man who had been brought to me was nervous, I asked.
He stammered and replied, "Forward...... Senior, small ...... Barking...... Zhang Xi, dare to ...... Ask both...... seniors...... Greatly ....... ”
I was really upset when I heard this kind of stammering words, so I directly raised my hand to interrupt him and said, "I'm a blind swordsman, I'm here to find a blind man to eat rice balls!"
Hearing this, he was not nervous, and said: "The predecessor is actually looking for the master to eat rice balls, that is, friends are not enemies, in this case, why did the predecessor capture the villain?"
"We're not familiar with the situation here, and we want you to show us the way, what do you think?"
Our strength is much higher than him, and this guy is not stupid, so he can naturally guess a thing or two, so how could he reject my words.
"The villain is fortunate to lead the way for the two seniors, it is really a blessing for three lives, seniors, please come with me. ”
After saying that, this guy honestly went to the front to show us the way, and walked around to the ancient bell tower.
As I walked, I found that this guy walked a very interesting route, turning around and even deliberately taking a long detour.
This only shows that they have an agreed route, and we are right not to break in directly.
After walking for a while, he arrived at the stone bridge connected to the ancient bell tower, and the man said: "Senior, the master is in the ancient bell tower, seniors go by themselves, and the villain will retire first." ”
When the man was gone, I said to Bajie, "Let's change our faces, and change our faces a little." ”
I brought some disfigurement from Miao Chengtian, and I gave myself and Bajie a little disfigurement, so that we would not be so easily recognized.
With the most basic precautions in place, we walked up to the stone bridge and prepared to cross.
At this moment, like a mine exploding, with a bang, a figure jumped out of the water and blocked our way in front.
"What do you guys do?"
As he spoke, the figure's voice was extremely hoarse, like a distorted voice squeezed out of his throat.
It's not easy for us to answer this question, so Bajie took a step forward, with the idea of defeating this person strongly.
When this person was hiding in the water, I really didn't know that there were people in the water, his strength was only in the middle of the entry realm, and Bajie killed him in just one move, but I didn't let Bajie do it.
"We're here to eat glutinous rice balls!"
When I said this, the man laughed and said mockingly: "Eat the rice balls, just because you also want to eat the master's rice balls?"
"What's the matter, how can we not eat?"
I asked this deliberately, and the figure immediately said, "If you want to eat rice balls, come and try your hand with me, if you are qualified, you can pass." ”
Hearing him say this, I laughed, waved my hand at Bajie, and said, "You go up, don't hurt his life." ”
"I don't need mercy from your men!"
He also refuted this sentence, and he was already restrained by Bajie's palm.
"Throw him back into the river, and don't let him get in our way. ”
Bajie nodded, and according to my request, he threw this person down.
With that done, we continued to walk inside, ready to go to the ancient clock tower.
Although it was all going very well, my vigilance had been raised to the top, because everything was very problematic here.
The blind man who sold rice balls was a ruthless man, and he had so many people in his hands, and these people were loyal to him, it was enough to see his methods.
According to the man hiding under the water, he did not have the strength above the high level of the entry realm, and he was not qualified to eat his master's rice balls.
It is conceivable that the strength of the martial arts people who are now gathered in the ancient bell tower is geometric!
Bringing so many people together, what does this blind man who sells dumplings want to do?
......
To be continued......
