Chapter 167: Exploring Diao's Mansion at Night
The two scholars were Yelu Chucai and Li Xiang, and after listening to the old lady's cry, Li Xiang comforted: "Old man, I'll buy a chicken, cut three catties of beef, and cook dinner at your house, it won't be very troublesome." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"No trouble, no trouble. The old lady said happily: "Then dare to be kind, let's go back." After speaking, he immediately cleaned up the stall and waited for Li Xiang to buy good things.
People are old and fine, how could the old lady who set up the stall not know that Li Xiang is thinking of a way to help herself.
Diao Mazi led Ji Meiqiu and Xueyan into the Xianghe Inn, and shouted flatteringly: "Second uncle, quickly open two upper rooms for the guest officer." ”
While speaking, Diao Mazi kept saying in his heart: You live separately, live separately, you should give it to me tonight.
Xue Yan's crisp voice broke Diao Mazi's illusion. She took out a thousand taels of silver ticket and slapped it on the counter: "It's enough to open an upper room, roast ten catties of demon beast meat, beat ten catties of burning knives, and send it to the room." ”
Diao Mazi was so angry that his teeth itched, and he cursed silently: "Roast ten catties of demon beast meat, you will die, and no one will collect the corpse for you." ”
The shopkeeper stared at the thousand taels of silver tickets that Xue Yan slapped on the counter, his eyes emitted green light, and he immediately put a new rag on his right shoulder, carried a large teapot, and led Ji Meiqiu and Xue Yan to the second floor to the Tianzi number on the second floor. Diao Mazi also wanted to follow, but was glared at by Xue Yan and had to stop.
Closing the door, Ji Meiqiu said calmly: "Xueyan, it seems that you can't rest tonight." ”
Xue Yan said unhappily: "Brother Tianya, do you blame me for only opening one room?"
Ji Meiqiu smiled: "I would be so stingy, it's just that Zichuan Town is too peaceful, I think it's not normal." ”
Xue Yan tilted her head and said: "That's right, the people in the small town in the mountains, at dusk, should go out to wash vegetables, wash rice, cook, and wash clothes, but the people in this town seem to hide at home and don't go out." ”
Ji Meiqiu said puzzledly: "It's really worthy of being a little witch, and I know a lot." ”
Xue Yan said proudly: "You think I am the eldest lady who doesn't go out of the door and doesn't step out of the second door." In order to find you fool, I have been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years, who has not seen it, what kind of place have I not been?"
Ji Meiqiu knocked around the room, looking for hidden secret doors and other mechanisms. Xue Yan stepped forward and said, "Look at your clumsiness, I'll check the room, so go ahead of you." ”
Ji Meiqiu said curiously: "How do you know that I want to go out for a while." ”
Xue Yanjiao smiled: "Don't forget, I'm an old Jianghu." In the past, whenever they went, the entourage would inquire about the situation of the place and find out if the inn was safe. I think you're not bad, after the first step, the second step shouldn't fall behind. ”
"Alright, I'm out. Ji Meiqiu walked out of the door generously, first went to the stables to have a look, and then walked towards the small bridge in Zichuan Town.
Ji Meiqiu has no experience in the rivers and lakes, and inspecting the inn is just the instinct to protect Xueyan. Now he went out, but he had an appointment with Jeruchu.
The city lord has already told Ji Meiqiu in detail about the topography of Zichuan Town, and the small bridge at the edge of the town is the place where Ji Meiqiu and Yelu Chu made an appointment to meet.
When Yelu Chu left the eldest mother's house, he had already basically figured out the situation. The first thing he sensed was that the town was too quiet.
The eldest lady told him that every day at dusk, Luo Lihu, the big boss of Zichuan Village, would basically pass through the town, and for the people who collided with him, it was a trivial matter to whip a few whips, and if he talked back, he might move his head; if there was a beautiful girl and daughter-in-law who were seen by Luo Lihu's people, the family's good days would come to an end.
The eldest lady said sadly, if it weren't for her granddaughter's hunger and she couldn't stand it, she wouldn't have stayed until this time, and the town at this time was really a bit scary.
Yelu Chu left a few taels of silver and walked towards the Zichuan Inn. The original plan was also distributed in the same way, Diao Mazi inserted a lever and hit it crookedly.
After listening to Yelu Chucai's introduction, Ji Meiqiu did not tell his night exploration plan, but hurried back to the inn.
The shopkeeper had already delivered the barbecue to the room, and Ji Meiqiu and Xueyan sat by the window to eat. Under the window is the only way from Zichuan Village to Diaojiazhuang, Ji Meiqiu changed her plan and decided to wait for Luo Lihu to arrive, and then go to Diaojiazhuang with him.
At this time, what Ji Meiqiu thought about was not only to get rid of Luo Lihu alone. Looking at the current situation, if you don't pull out the tumor of the Diao family, even if you get rid of Luo Lihu, Zichuan Village may soon have Luo Libao, Luo Liwolf and the like.
It wasn't until the barbecue was eaten and the knives were drunk that the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance. Ji Meiqiu looked through the window and suddenly found that there was an empty horse in the horse team of more than ten people. When I looked closely, I realized that there was a long pocket on the horse's back, which may contain a large living person.
"Go to the snow leopard. Ji Meiqiu took Xueyan's arm and said, "You stay alone in the room, I don't worry, I'll send you to the Gaosheng Inn now." ”
Xue Yan pouted and said, "Prepare to visit Diao's Mansion at night, I'll go too." ”
"I still have to save people, and it's inconvenient to take two people. Ji Meiqiu said hatefully: "I saw that they had kidnapped one person, so I could only rescue him while it was dark." ”
Xue Yan's brutality is not unreasonable, after listening to Ji Meiqiu's narration, she knew that the bandits had taken one away, and said anxiously: "Hurry up, it's dangerous to fall into the hands of the bandits." stepped forward to tidy up Ji Meiqiu's collar, and said with concern: "Go back early, don't be reluctant, you matter." ”
After Ji Meiqiu sent Xue Yan to the Gaosheng Inn and handed it over to the snow leopard, her figure instantly slipped into the night. Not long after the bandit, the breath that has not yet dissipated is like a guiding light, and his night vision ability allows him to travel unhindered.
Diaojiazhuang is less than twenty miles away from Zichuan Town, and with a bag of cigarettes, Ji Meiqiu rushed to a huge courtyard, and saw the two thieves giggling and carrying the long bags on horseback into the courtyard.
I don't know the depth of Diaojiazhuang, so if I rush in, not only can I not save the people who were captured by the bandits, but I also have to get in.
There are only two possibilities in the current situation: one is that the thieves kidnapped the meat tickets and deposited them in Diaojiazhuang, and the other is that the girl was kidnapped and entrusted to Diaojiazhuang to take care of them.
In either case, the bandits have to send the meat ticket or the maiden to the backyard. Buildings such as embroidery buildings and dungeons of large families are not likely to be in the front yard.
Ji Meiqiu no longer hesitated, went around to the high wall of the backyard, jumped up, squatted on the wall and carefully probed, except for the two fierce dogs, there was no one in the backyard at all.
Just as he was about to jump down, two family members carrying long pockets entered the backyard and cursed in their mouths: "These dead thieves, they ran to Diaojiazhuang to spread wild, and they didn't look at what kind of place this was?"
Another family member said: "Brother, let's say a few words, he is a general, and his strength is much higher than that of the owner, let's lure the wolf into the room." ”
The previous family member said disdainfully: "Luo Lihu is just Uncle Luo's cousin, and his identity is not as high as our young master." ”
There are only generals in Diaojiazhuang, Ji Meiqiu is very determined, and is about to clean up these two families, when another person appears in his consciousness.
