As soon as the Mao mouse heard someone scolding Xu Yun, he jumped out and said, "Which mad dog is biting people?"

Li Da saw that the hairy mouse was born with a roe deer's head and rat eyes, so he scolded with anger: "What kind of brute are you? At first glance, you look like a thief's bones, and you don't have to be there to be nonsense! Damn, Xu Yun's son of a bitch!"

Seeing that it was a beggar who was speaking disrespectfully, Mao Zizi was furious, and rushed forward to kick Li Dafei. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info that Li Da saw it, and hurriedly used the bamboo stick in his hand to point at the crook of the hair mouse's knee, just a flick, and then the hair mouse fell to the ground, and shouted in his mouth: "Lao Tzu will hit you first, a thief eyebrow and rat-eyed thing, out of the bird's breath in the chest!"

"Stop!" Xu Yun walked out of the mourning hall and stopped Li Da.

When Li Da saw Xu Yun himself, he also left the mouse, picked up the bamboo stick and called Xu Yun: "Xu Yun, you return my brother's life!"

Xu Yun waved his hand and brushed the bamboo stick to the side, and said in confusion: "Your brother's life?"

Seeing that he missed a stick, Li Da shouted, and swung his stick at Xu Yun again: "You don't pretend to be confused here! I saw your face clearly that night! It was you, it was you who killed my two brothers!"

Xu Yun saw that Li Da didn't match the preface and afterword, and he really didn't know what he was talking about, so he grabbed the bamboo stick and said to him: "You calm down first and explain the matter to me clearly." How did I become the one who killed your brother? When did your brother die, where did he die, and how?"

Li said angrily: "How did my brother die, you still have to ask me! You did it yourself, isn't it clear?"

Xu Yun shook his head helplessly, pointed to Hua Qian on the side and said: "This is Hua Qian, the new head of the Hua family, if you don't want to talk to me, just tell him, let him listen to the ins and outs of this matter, and cut off the rights and wrongs." ”

Li Da glanced at Hua Qian and sneered: "Xu Yun, you don't bluff me." Since you can live in Washington, you must have an old relationship with Hua Gongzi, where will he judge things fairly?"

Hua Qian saw that Li Da had been messing around, so he asked, "Brother Yun, who is this person?"

Xu Yun cleared his throat and said to Hua Qian: "This is the big brother Li of the beggar gang, and he is one of the famous 'Three Beggars of Hebei'. ”

Hua Qian nodded: "It turned out to be a friend of the beggar gang, but you came to the door today to mourn your uncle?"

"Uncle Jia is Hua Yongwei, the training envoy of the Dengzhou regiment, since Brother Li is here, why don't you go into the house and put three sticks of incense on Uncle Jia to express your heart?" Hua Qian pointed with his right hand and wanted to lead Li Da into the mourning hall.

"You...... You're mistaken, I'm ...... I didn't know your uncle was dead, I didn't come to kowtow and cry. For a while, Li Da's mind couldn't turn around, and he stammered when he spoke.

"Then Brother Li came to my mansion just to pick quarrels and provoke trouble? first made a big noise outside the door, and then beat up the guests in my mansion, Brother Li also thinks too low of my Hua family, I have to let you see the methods of the famous Hua family today!" Before he could say a word, Hua Qian had already stared at those eyes that would never wake up.

Seeing Hua Qian's appearance, Li Da felt a chill in his heart: "After all, this person is one of the 'Four Sons of Martial Arts', and his kung fu should not be weak, plus a Xu Yun, where am I their opponent?" Li Da, Li Da, you are really too reckless, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of this courtyard today!" Thinking like this, he let go of the bamboo stick in his hand, closed his eyes and said: "It's me Li Da who is stupid and has entered the wolf's den, if you want to kill it, you can kill it!"

Seeing Li Da's appearance, Hua Qian smiled at Xu Yun, and said to Li Da, "Why should I kill you?"

Li Da opened his eyes and said, "Aren't you going to breathe out of the same nostril with Xu Yun?"

Hua Qian looked at Xu Yun with a round face, and laughed hehe: "Why should I share a nostril with this stupid big man? I just said a few words to amuse you, so I won't do anything to you." You said that Brother Yun killed your brother, what is going on? You tell me, if Brother Yun really did it, I will definitely uphold justice for you. ”

"You give me justice?" Li Da didn't believe his ears.

Hua Qian nodded and said, "Of course, although I am an old friend of this big man, I am also the head of the Hua family. If Brother Yun is really a murderer, I will deal with it impartially, and I will never think of the old for personal gain and ruin the reputation of the Hua family. ”

Li Da looked at Hua Qian's face, and said suspiciously: "Really?"

Hua Qian said: "Of course, do you think that I, Hua Qian, are fat by breaking my word?"

Li Da shook his head and thought to himself: "This person is really weird, he is talking nonsense, can he become a fat man just by eating salt? But looking at him like that, he looks like a nerd, but he doesn't look like a liar." I'll tell him what he says, and see what he says. ”

"On the night of the seventeenth, three of us brothers were resting at home. In the middle of the night, I smelled a scent and felt that something was wrong, and I wanted to get up, but I couldn't get up. And then...... Then I saw a man walk in...... That person is this Xu Yun!" Li Da pointed at Xu Yun with a trembling body, "Because I just fought him in Yishui Pavilion a few days ago, I recognized his face at that time. I saw him raise his knife and slash at my two brothers, but I couldn't scream, and then I fainted. When I wake up...... I only saw that my brother had long since lost his breath, Xu Yun, you brute!"

Hua Qian scratched his head and said, "Hey, I don't understand this, why did Brother Yun only kill your two brothers, but he wanted to keep you alive?"

Li Dadao: "That's because I have a big life!" said that, he had already untied the torn jacket on his body, revealing his skinny chest. And there was a pink scar on that chest, apparently a new wound. Li Da pointed to the scar and said to Hua Qian: "He just didn't hack me to death." After I reluctantly buried my brother, I raised it for a few days, and then crawled out to seek revenge. After hearing that this big man's name was Xu Yun and he was still living in the Washington Palace, I found it here. ”

Xu Yun heard Li Da say that after smelling the aroma, his whole body couldn't move, and he suddenly thought of the situation when he was drugged when he fought with Wu Renyi on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month, and he had some suspicions that the person named Lu Qi did it. He returned the bamboo stick to Li Dadao: "The aroma you smelled that night, did you feel like you were drunk all over your body after smelling it?"

"Exactly, you...... How do you know? You did it!" Li Da said excitedly.

"I will know because I have also been blessed with the fragrance on the fifteenth day of the first month. Xu Yundao.

Hua Qian interjected when he heard this: "You also got drugged?

"If I say that after that, I was put in a coffin, thrown into a mass grave, and woke up a few days later, would you believe it or not?" Xu Yun smiled.

"Can anyone prove that what you said is true?" Hua Qian shook his head.

"No, but I didn't kill this man. Xu Yundao.

"You don't talk nonsense there, but I really see your face!" Li Da shouted.

Hua Qian said: "No way, you all have your own opinions here, and I don't know which of you two is telling the truth." Brother Li, why don't you take us to your house to have a look, after all, seeing is believing!"

"You two come with me!" Li raised his head and turned to walk out the door. Xu Yun and Hua Qian followed. The hairy mouse also wanted to go with him, but Xu Yun stayed in the other courtyard to watch his family and didn't let him go with him.

Hua Qian grinned as he walked: "Brother Li, you are alone, you dare to lead me and Brother Yun out of the door, are you not afraid that Brother Yun will kill you?" Then Li Da saw that Xu Yun had been denying it, and he was angry in his heart, so he couldn't care so much for a long time, so he opened his mouth and said: "What are you afraid of! Lao Tzu is cheap, anyway, my two brothers are dead, if you want to kill Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will fight with you to break the net!"

Li Da and the two of them walked a few miles east, and then stopped in front of a thatched hut on the side of the road. Hua Qian looked at the thatched hut in tatters, and the walls were full of holes, and couldn't help but be surprised: "This ...... Is that where you live?"

Li Da glanced at Hua Qian and said, "Why, the son of a rich and noble family, haven't you ever seen such a house?

Hua Qian shook his hand and said, "I didn't say no, this house is very good, it must be cool to live in summer." ”

Li Da Leng snorted, stepped into the hut, and said, "Come in!"

Hua Qian stepped into the hut, looked at the not spacious room and said, "It's really a bit incredible that there are three big men lying in such a small room. Brother Yun, you wait outside the door for a while, and then come in later. As he spoke, he lay down and said to Li Dadao: "Where were you lying that night?"

Li Da was slightly surprised when he saw that Hua Qian had already laid down, and said hesitantly: "Where am I lying...... I'm lying ...... Lie in the innermost. With that, he also lay down like Hua Qian.

Hua Qian put his hands under his head, stared at the thatched roof and said, "So your two brothers sleep closer to the door?"

Li Da didn't know what Hua Qian wanted to do, and replied blankly: "Ah, right...... That's right. ”

Hua Qian closed his eyes and said, "Well, it's good that you didn't lie at the door, otherwise it wouldn't be you who is talking to me now." ”

Li Da saw that Hua Qian's tone had a hint of banter, and he was dissatisfied: "What do you mean by this?"

Hua Qian said slowly: "I mean, that murderer may just want to kill two and keep one. And you happen to sleep in the innermost, so, survived. ”

"What does it mean to kill two and keep one, does he still want to stay alive?" Li Da wondered.

Hua Qian said: "Of course, if you don't leave a living mouth, who will identify Brother Yun as the murderer?" He turned sideways and said to Xu Yun outside the door: "Brother Yun, you go and break a branch as a blade, come into the house and kill us!"

Xu Yun didn't say much, and walked away with an "um" answer.

Seeing Xu Yun walking away, Hua Qian replied to Li Dadao: "You lie here and carefully recall the scene you saw that night, and when Brother Yun comes in for a while, you can see if there is anything different." ”

Li Da said "yes", what happened that night, he will never forget it for the rest of his life, and he doesn't need to think about it at all, but he doesn't know what kind of medicine is sold in Hua Qian's gourd, so he asked, "What can be the difference?"

Hua Qian half-squinted his eyes and said, "How do I know, you have to see for yourself." Okay, don't talk to me, I'm going to sleep now, or Brother Yun will come in later, but the two of us will still be chatting, and it will be different from the situation that night. With that, he closed his eyes and ignored Li Da.

Although Xu Yun also had doubts in his heart, he knew that Hua Qian would not wronged him, so he broke a branch according to Hua Qian's words and returned to the thatched hut where the three beggars lived in Hebei. The thatched hut was already short, so the door was not very high, but Xu Yun was tall, so he had to walk in with his head slightly down. He couldn't help but want to laugh when he looked at Hua Qian lying on the ground pretending to be asleep, but he still raised the branch held in his right hand and stabbed it at Hua Qian's chest.

"No, no, you weren't like this that night!" Li Da had been staring at Xu Yun since he entered the door, and when he saw him raise the branch, he suddenly shouted.

Hua Qian opened one eye and looked at Li Dadao: "What's the difference?"

Li Da sat up and pointed at Xu Yun and said, "On the day he entered, I remember that he entered the door with a knife in his left hand. Also, when you enter the door, you don't come in with your head down. ”

"Your family's cultivation is too short, don't we think about it, but if you want Brother Yun to come in, he has to keep his head down, or won't the door beam hit his forehead?" Hua Qian closed his eyes, cocked Erlang's legs, and said slowly.

"That's not right, that night, I remember that he walked in without bowing his head?" Li Da hesitated, "Could it be that I remembered wrong?"

Hua Qian shook his head and said, "Well, either you remember it wrong, or you admit it." ”

Li Da stared at the door of his house, then looked at Xu Yunkong's empty left hand, and muttered to himself: "How could I be wrong? I don't know how many times what happened that night appeared in my heart, how could I remember wrong?"

"That is, you admit that you are wrong, the murderer's height should be shorter than Yun Ge'er. Hua Qian said.

"No, what I see is his Xu Yun's face, that annoying face that looks like he is laughing when he is not smiling. Li Da gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not mistaken, I am not mistaken! He must have deliberately held the branch in his right hand to mislead me and make me think that I was mistaken." Yes, it must be!"

"How do you explain the difference in height?" asked Hua Qian.

Li Da stood up, ignored Hua Qian at all, and went straight to Xu Yun, grabbing him with his left hand. Li Da saw that there was a thick layer of calluses on the palm of Xu Yun's left hand, the tiger's mouth, and other places, and laughed: "I'll just say that you are deceiving people! The calluses left on your left hand when you practice can't be hidden! Hahaha, you are really a left-hander!"

Xu Yun smiled, threw away the branch, and slowly spread his right hand. I saw that the calluses on his right hand were more and thicker.

Li Da's laughter stopped abruptly, as if someone had forced it back into his throat.

Xu Yundao: "When I practiced swords when I was a child, I always used my right hand, and I didn't start practicing left-handed swords until I was a teenager. Although I have practiced for so many years, I am still not used to using my left hand to make a sword, and my left-handed sword is also practiced so-so, so I usually don't use my left hand, but this cocoon still has to stay in my hand after all. ”

Li Dadao: "That...... You're still left-handed, aren't you?"

"It's true, but if I want to kill you, I will use a sword, not a sword. Compared with the sword, the knife is too bold and wild, and I don't like it very much. Xu Yundao.

"So what, that doesn't prove that you won't kill with a knife. Li Da argued.

"Brother Li, don't talk about this, can you tell me what the height gap between the murderer and Brother Yun is?" Hua Qian still lay in the room, closed his eyes, and asked with a comfortable expression.

"This ...... This...... Maybe I'm misremembering. Li Da really didn't figure it out.

Hua Qian patted his head, sat up and said, "Oh, this world is so big, there are no surprises, haven't you thought that the murderer might just look like Brother Yun?"

"How is it possible, where can there be anything that looks so alike? It's like carving out of a mold. Li Da shook his head, disagreeing with Hua Qian's statement.

Hua Qian said: "When you saw the murderer, it was already late at night, and you were drugged again, so it is possible that you didn't see his appearance clearly." ”

"If that murderer is proficient in disguise, he can take on the form of me. Xu Yun suddenly interjected.

"Transfiguration, is it a face change?" Hua Qian felt fresh and asked curiously.

"Well, it's pretty much the same, it's said that you have to put something called a 'human skin mask' on your face, so you can change your appearance. Xu Yundao.

"It's amazing that there's such a fun thing. Hua Qian said excitedly, "In this way, it makes sense." Does Big Brother Li still suspect that it was Brother Yun who killed him?"

"I ...... I don't know, I just believe what I see. I did ...... that night I've really seen him!" After all, Li Da has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has also heard about the rumors of human skin masks. Now his heart is a little shaken, and he is no longer very sure that Xu Yun is the murderer.

"That's right, Brother Li, you can go back to the other courtyard with me first. Who killed your brother, I will definitely help you find out, before that, you will live in another courtyard, how about it?" Hua Qian said.

Li Dayi sat down and said weakly, "I don't know...... Forget it, it's all up to you. The matter of my two brothers is entrusted to Mr. Hua. ”

"Well said, well said. Hua Qian said with a smile.

On the way back to the courtyard, Xu Yun whispered to Hua Qian: "You didn't see me on the night of the seventeenth, so you don't know what I'm doing. But listening to your words, you never seemed to doubt me from the beginning. You'd better have your reasons and don't be emotional. Being in the rivers and lakes, if there are too many personal feelings in it, it will affect your judgment, which is very bad for you. ”

"If you want to make such a clear distinction between public and private, without a trace of affection, what is the meaning of such rivers and lakes?" Hua Qian smiled, "But don't worry, I don't doubt that you certainly have my reasons." ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"Hehe, this is very simple, Li Da and the three brothers have all been beaten by you, if you really want to kill them, do you still need to put drugs?

Li Da, who was following the two of them, was silent when he heard this, thinking that what Hua Qian said was true, and he couldn't help but feel that he had wronged Xu Yun, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.
