Chapter 105: Concealment of the Face
Shen Mad and Fluttershy and the others disappear along the edge of the Moon Reflecting Pool.
The bookkeeper's sigh came, and the proprietress naturally raised her hand and sleeves to wave away her tears, and turned her head to look at the bookkeeper who had slowly come to the front.
A bitter smile hung on the bookkeeper's face, and he whispered: "It's been a few years, I've never seen you smile as happily as yesterday, and I've never seen you shed tears like this time, I don't know who he is, but I know how much he weighs in your heart, and if a person's extravagant happiness is placed in such a long life as many years, that happiness will be drowned in pain." β
The proprietress looked at Mr. Bookkeeper.
The bookkeeper sighed again, and said in a lonely voice: "Go! Let him go with him in life and death, and don't come back." β
After saying this, the bookkeeper raised his hand and handed a package to the proprietress .
The proprietress instinctively took it, and the bookkeeper had turned around and walked, his steps stiff, as if it was a very difficult thing to drive his body forward.
The proprietress didn't know why she had unloaded all the weakness of the years today, and the tears slipped down again, and the loneliness exuded by the lonely figure of the bookkeeper was almost tangible.
The dust was rolling on the official road, the hoofed horses made a sound like drums, and the forward cavalry came out of the crowd, and in a moment divided into three roads, one team rushed to the outside of the fence wall, and the other two teams surrounded the back on the left and right, and when the large army reached the outside of the fence wall, the whole inn was surrounded.
The frontal vanguard cavalry kicked open the fence gate and rushed to the front of the Ping An Inn.
Jiang Er and the ghost slave were already standing in front of the door, Xiao Juan changed her clothes and pulled the fat boy to stand inside, the fat child was stupid and didn't understand, but she knew that they couldn't make any provoking posture in such a formation.
Lu Ting and Peng Jian had dismounted, Zhao Qianwang looked at the two fast-catching corpses on the ground with a sigh of anger, turned back suddenly, pulled the reins of the horse and turned over on the horse, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and went to the front to meet Liang Qiyun and Cao Huan, who had stopped outside the fence wall.
Peng Jian squatted down and gently straightened the hat of a fast-catching crooked official, and Lu Ting had reached out to help Peng Jian, while saying: "Brother Peng, let's go, we will give them an explanation." β
Peng Jian's eyes still couldn't leave the two fast catcher corpses, nodded blankly, and muttered: "Yes, I must give them an explanation, and I won't accompany them for many years." β
Lu Ting looked at Peng Jian with a depressed expression, and Chen Xiong behind him had already said to Li Donghui: "Donghui, let the brothers settle them down!"
Li Donghui answered, and turned around to convey instructions to the officials.
Du Sheng whispered beside Lu Ting: "Two adults, let's go over first!"
Lu Ting nodded, and said 'um' in his mouth, Peng Jian also relieved himself, took one last look at the two dead catchers, and Lu Ting both got on their horses and left, and Chen Xiong, Du Sheng and others also got on their horses and followed.
Li Kong, Wang Yu and Zhong Huaiping just stood in front of the door and looked at Jiang Er and the ghost slave who didn't know how to advance or retreat, standing at the door, it was not these two people who were afraid in their hearts, they tracked all the way, Shen Madness They didn't make these three lieutenants frightened, plus Liu Ping'er's terrible rumors broke into their ears, they were just waiting for the three adults to come under an excuse.
Xu Fusheng didn't wait, his eyes and hands came out, Jiang Er and the ghost slave were pushed into the inn in surprise, and Xu Fusheng said in his mouth: "Get out!"
Li Kong and the others didn't have to wait for Zhao Qianwang, who had already urged the horse and the knife to come over, and glanced at the inn with a fierce look, and slowly followed Xu Fusheng into the inn.
The fat boy saw that Jiang Er and the ghost slave were pushed in, and strode forward, Xiao Juan's eyes were quick, and he grabbed the fat boy, and the big foot Li didn't know when he was already standing on the fat boy's side, and he was also anxious to reach out and grab the fat boy's right arm, and said in his mouth: "Fat boy, be obedient, otherwise Mr. will beat you!"
The fat boy was really no longer reckless, and looked back innocently, and the bookkeeper had come in from the back hall silently, and came here slowly.
Jiang Er and the ghost slave had a look of disbelief in their eyes, but they did not act recklessly!
Xu Fusheng had already glanced at Jiang Er and the others, and took steps to press Jiang Er and the others back with momentum.
Zhao Qianwang, Liang Qiyun, and Cao Huan had already come in, Jiang Er and the others had been pressed by Xu Fusheng's momentum and retreated to the center of the inn, until Mr. Bookkeeper came over, Xu Fusheng stopped his footsteps, and looked at Mr. Bookkeeper with majestic eyes.
Zhao Qianwang walked over, and before the person arrived, his tone was full of anger, and he said loudly: "Harboring criminals, killing and arresting quickly, you are so bold!"
Zhao Qianwang's words are like a gambler's increase, the higher he mentions at the end, the last sentence is simply shouting, if this kind of momentum really meets those honest farmers, conscientious workers, and poor hawkers who are greedy for money and money, then their souls will escape from this cowardly body, fly out, and if they can't pull it back, then they will wander alone.
Mr. Bookkeeper has stood in front of Jiang Er and others, his feet are soft, his legs are shaking, he bends his body slightly, his head is slightly bowed, he does not dare to face Zhao Qianwang, he only promises, and his teeth tremble and say: "Big, adult, this small one can't afford it!" This thing is here, and the small one doesn't dare to hide it from the adult, the small shop business is sluggish, and today it hit the evil in the middle of the night, and there are two groups of guests in a row, one group of vendors, and the other group of men and womenγγγγγγ β
The bookkeeper looked frightened and weak, and paused in the middle of his words, first relieved his anger, and then continued: "We are also afraid, and we opened a crack in the door and peeked out, those thieves and merchants are not good people, and they want to rob another group of guests when the day is fast and everyone is asleep, but they are blind, and those people have a bad star, and they kill people without blinking, and after a while, they wipe all the merchants' necks, and they see that they have caused a life lawsuit, and they all run away as soon as they take the package! β
Zhao Qianwang looked like he had simply scared the timid bookkeeper to death, stared at the bookkeeper angrily, and was about to let go of his voice to say a few more words, Xu Fusheng had already frowned, and just when the bookkeeper was speaking, a personal sergeant who had muttered a few words in Xu Fusheng's ear had retreated.
Xu Fusheng was already saying something in Zhao Qianwang's ear, Jiang Er's face was a little nervous, and Mr. Bookkeeper didn't see it, so he was still waiting for Zhao Qianwang to scold loudly, and he was scared to death and continued to explain the problem.
Xu Fusheng has stepped back a little, Zhao Qianwang no longer looks like he wants to scare others to death, his anger has become angry, he glared at the bookkeeper, and said in a deep voice: "You're not the boss here, are you?"
The bookkeeper was half-open, dumbfounded, and just when Zhao Qianwang was about to get angry, he hurriedly said: "No, no! The proprietress is in a hurry, she can't afford this lawsuit, so she rode the donkey that pulled the mill and went to Tongjiang to report the case." β
After Mr. Accounts finished speaking, Lu Ting and Peng Jian, who had already come in, had already come in, Chen Xiong, Du Sheng, and Zhang Qing also followed, Zhao Qianwang They were not criminal investigators, but they just relied on the power of the official family and the sword in their hands to give others fear, Peng Jian stopped and said: "You are the account room?"
The bookkeeper nodded busily and replied continuously: "Yes, yes, yes, it's an adult, and the small one is the bookkeeper in the store." β
Lu Ting had already looked at these people in the store, and then said: "Who else are you in this store, the guys in the store, the guests staying in the store, tell them all to come downstairs." β
The bookkeeper hurriedly said, "Several adults and people in this store are here, and all that is left are the corpses that died in the back hall." β
When Mr. Bookkeeper said this, Chen Xiong was already anxious, and he didn't care that Lu Ting and Peng Jian were still here, so he was in a hurry to say: "In which direction did those murderers flee?"
Zhao Qianwang was also woken up by Chen Xiong's words, and suddenly his eyes lit up, he was led by the words of Mr. Bookkeeper, and he was also angry for the death of the two fast catchers, and for a while he forgot that he and others were not here to do any murder cases.
Mr. Bookkeeper was already answering Chen Xiong's question: "Back to Lord Catcher, they ran south when they went out, and we didn't dare to follow."
Zhao Qianwang was already busy turning around, and said to Xu Fusheng: "Fusheng, take the vanguard cavalry to chase, remember, find the whereabouts of the arrow as a number, no war." β
Xu Fusheng answered the order loudly, turned around and was about to leave the inn, at this time Zhou Fengying, Fu Gang and others had come out of the back hall, and when they heard the bookkeeper say that the murder, Du Sheng had quietly instructed Zhou Fengying and others to go to the back hall to check the scene first.
Du Sheng's eyes were staring at Xiao Juan, who was afraid that the fat child would get into trouble, and clasped the fat child's arms with both hands, Zhou Fengying came over and whispered in Du Sheng's ear: "The people who catch the head and lie inside are all martial arts people, but they didn't die under the evil star sword, everyone here has problems, do you want to strike first?"
There was a trace of pure light in the eyes of Mr. Bookkeeper, who was still slightly lowered, and the corner of his eyes unconsciously aimed at the place indicated by Du Sheng's gaze - Xiaojuan became the intersection of two scheming people, and Mr. Bookkeeper's face changed, but he recovered in an instant.
Zhou Fengying had already retreated to look at Du Sheng, waiting for instructions, Zhou Fengying's move, Fu Gang and the others also looked at Du Sheng, with their tacit understanding, they only needed a look to determine the action.
Lu Ting also looked at Du Sheng, he would never blame Zhou Fengying for avoiding him and Peng Jian whispering something to Du Sheng, Du Sheng is his confidant, Zhou Fengying is calm, the two of them have the ability to do things and the general knowledge of doing things, Lu Ting will never question it, he looked at Du Sheng and just felt that something was wrong there, he was waiting for Du Sheng to give him a hint to unravel the messy state.
