Chapter 173: To Gusu
After staying in Fuzhou for nearly a month, Mi Xiaoxia left and left for Gusu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the past month, Mi Xiaoxia has been asking around, looking for clues left by the murderer. I also spent a lot of money to buy off the government and checked the case files.
But unfortunately, in the end, I only knew that the murderers were a group of black-clothed masked people. Like a shadow, he suddenly came to Fuzhou City, slaughtered Fuwei Dart Bureau overnight, and disappeared quietly the next day.
There is no head and no tail, as if facing a group of ghosts that suddenly come, there is no way to find out.
After wandering around in Fuzhou for a month, Mi Xiaoxia had no choice but to invite monks and Taoists, set up water and land rituals, and surpassed hundreds of souls in the Fuwei Dart Bureau. After the incense ceremony, leave Fuzhou City.
"It's only been a few months since the Fuwei Dart Bureau was wiped out, and I still have no clue. It has been 17 years since the Gusu Yue's family was wiped out, how can I find out ......"
Riding a horse and galloping on the official road, Mi Xiaoxia couldn't help frowning. Sure enough, detectives are not so easy to be. The rivers and lakes are so big, and there is only one Chu Liuxiang and one Lu Xiaofeng.
Regarding the case of the destruction of the Gusu Yue family, Mi Xiaoxia now knows only one thing, that is, it is an old nun who entrusted Lu Xiaofeng. And this key person is now missing.
Mi Xiaoxia sighed secretly, this is to try his luck when he goes to Gusu. If you can have some eyebrows, you can increase the upper limit of the proficiency of the Spirit Rhino. If you don't get anything, it's only a month at most.
Thinking about it this way, Mi Xiaoxia's heart was much more relaxed, and he hurried to Gusu.
More than ten days later, Mi Xiaoxia came to Gusu City by himself.
As the so-called spring March, it is already the end of February. Gusu belongs to the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and the temperature warms up faster than that in the north. At this time, looking at the sides of the road, some willow trees have already revealed goose-yellow buds.
Although Gusu is also a famous city, as a water town, the scenery is different from the cities in the north. The roads are much narrower, and there are many small rivers running through the city. In addition to carriages and horses, it is also extremely convenient to travel by boat.
Mi Xiaoxia came to Gusu City for the first time, and he only felt that the city was full of graceful beauty, and his mood couldn't help but feel much better. Even if there is nothing to gain this time, it is worth the trip to enjoy the beautiful scenery here.
Leading the horse, watching the scenery while walking, it was still early at this time, Mi Xiaoxia simply started immediately, and began to investigate the case of the Yue family's extermination 17 years ago.
"This old man, do you know that there was once a Yue family in Gusu City, who encountered gangsters about seventeen years ago and was destroyed overnight. ”
Compared with the case of the Fuwei Dart Bureau, Mi Xiaoxia didn't even know where the Yue family was at this time, so he could only ask around. Since it was seventeen years ago, Mi Xiaoxia asked some older people to ask.
"You're talking about the old man's house in Yue Fengyue in the east of the city, it's really pitiful, a family of dozens of people died in one night. Tsk, the blood is all flowing down the street. ”
After asking seven or eight people successively, there was finally an old man sitting at the door basking in the sun, looking at the sun and squinting slightly, and said with a sigh on his face.
"That's right, it's the Yue family, old man, you wait for me here for a while, and I'll come when I go." ”
Mi Xiaoxia was excited, told the old man, and then turned to leave.
About ten minutes later, Mi Xiaoxia came back with a jar of wine in his hand, as well as a bag of cooked meat, a bag of peanuts and a bag of tea cakes. I found a clean bluestone, put the wine and dishes on it, and beckoned the old man to come over.
"Old man, let's talk while eating, you tell me in detail. ”
"Hehe, young man, you're too polite. ”
The old man grinned and was happy, someone chatted with him to relieve his boredom, but he didn't expect that there would be wine and food to eat, he took a sip of wine, pinched a piece of cooked beef and put it in his mouth, and said while chewing.
"Speaking of the Yue family, it is also a well-known big family in our aunt Suzhou City. Master Yue also often helps the poor, and is a well-known benevolent person. It's just a pity that the flying misfortune came. It is said that in the autumn of that year, Miss Yue had just gotten married......"
After chatting with the old man for nearly an hour, Mi Xiaoxia also had a general understanding of the Yue family. Only then did he get up and say goodbye, and according to the path pointed out by the old man, he went to the old house of the Yue family.
While walking, Mi Xiaoxia thought back to what the old man said, and saw if he could sort out some clues.
According to what the old man said, the Yue family also belongs to a famous family in Gusu, and they are usually kind and generous, and they have no enemies. It was the autumn of 17 years ago, and Miss Yue had just got married for two or three days, but she was suddenly wiped out.
Speaking of which, there is one thing that Mi Xiaoxia cares about very much. That is the son-in-law of the Yue family, who was not among those who were killed, and has not been heard from since.
Mi Xiaoxia faintly felt that as long as he found that son-in-law, half of the Yue family's murder case would be solved.
It's just that the son-in-law of the Yue family seems to have appeared out of thin air, and outsiders don't even know what he looks like. In fact, not only the son-in-law of the Yue family, but even the young lady of the Yue family, there is very little information circulating outside.
So trying to find the son-in-law of the Yue family is really like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"At that time, the government speculated that it should have been done by the bandits of Black Fox Ridge outside the city. ”
When chatting, the old man said this, which can be regarded as providing a clue to Mi Xiaoxia.
The Yue family has no enemies, and they are quite rich, so it is normal to attract bandits to covet them. This explanation seems to be very reasonable, but Mi Xiaoxia always feels that something is wrong, but he can't say it for a while.
Anyway, let's go to the Yue family's old mansion for the time being.
The Yue family is in the east of the city, and the so-called old mansion of the Yue family has already had a new owner. It is said that at that time, all the Yue family died, and the houses and fields were taken into public ownership by the government and then re-sold.
Now the owner of the Yue family is surnamed Liu, and he is a well-known landlord in Gusu City. Because the Yue family had a murder case, everyone said that this house was haunted by ghosts and ghosts, which was very unlucky.
Therefore, although the rich man Liu bought a mansion, he did not live in it, but just put it there as a property.
About two hours later, Mi Xiaoxia came to the Yue family's old house. I saw a garden in the style of a water town, and the outer walls were covered with vines. If it's summer, it's going to be lush.
At this time, it was just noon, and there were pedestrians everywhere outside the yard, and it was not good for Mi Xiaoxia to go directly over the wall. And seventeen years have passed since the tragedy, even if Mi Xiaoxia sneaks into the yard, I'm afraid he won't even be able to find a ghost, let alone a clue.
"Black Fox Ridge Bandits...... Check it out. ”
After going around the Yue family's old house, Mi Xiaoxia got on the horse and left.
The only clue I have at hand now is that bandit. Although he heard that the gang of bandits had been exterminated a long time ago, Mi Xiaoxia still planned to go and try his luck.
Mi Xiaoxia had already asked for the path before, and after riding out of the city, he went straight to the Black Fox Ridge.
But unexpectedly, due to the unfamiliar terrain, Mi Xiaoxia actually took the wrong path. When he found out, he was lost. After walking around the city a few times, I saw that it was already dark.
“...... Unlucky. ”
Mi Xiaoxia rode on his horse and couldn't help but sigh. At this point, even if the path is found, the city gate is probably closed. It seems that we can only sleep in the wild tonight, and tomorrow at dawn, we will find a way again.
Knock! knock......
At this moment, a low bell suddenly sounded.
It is said that the morning bell and the evening drum are said, but in fact, no matter morning or evening, the temple has to beat the drum and ring the bell. It's just that in the morning the bell is struck first and then the drum, and in the evening the drum is struck first and then the bell is struck.
At this time, since there are bells, there may be a temple. Mi Xiaoxia was happy for a while, so that he didn't have to sleep in the wild. Following the distant bell, Mi Xiaoxia searched all the way.
