Chapter Seventy-Three: The Calm Headcatcher
Shen Qilai went outside the backyard wall, listened to the movement inside, flew into the courtyard, and entered the backyard through the side door along the wall.
Only one official sat on the stone pier in a daze, Shen Crazy jumped quickly, volleyed down, the official heard a little noise, and then felt some strange wind, so he turned back, but before his head came back, he felt his neck twitch, and his eyes were dark, and he didn't have time to scream.
Shen Mad took the fainted official to the corner of the wall, left the official errand, and then walked through the backyard quickly and softly.
There was no shadow of Chang Yuheng and Liu Ping'er in the courtyard at all, Shen Crazy turned back to the east corner, the front hall guest room and the room with the window open in the backyard, flew up, grabbed the window edge and pushed the window open, and with force in his hands, he propped up his whole body and turned into the house.
Du Sheng sat on the chair in a daze, and he took a closer look at the entire inn, and he still preferred to believe that if he was more detailed, he could find out more about the situation.
After a while, Du Sheng came back to his senses, but his eyes were fixed on Qian Cheng's distorted and hideous face, pondering - what kind of enemy would kill Qian Cheng, who seemed to him to be profound, so miserable and weird!
Although there are not too many masters in the Heavy Sword Gate, they are all Qian Peng's beloved disciples, and they are all personally conducted, that martial arts can be self-sufficient, but now it makes people kill without a lifetime, and look at the sword wounds, and then listen to Chu Cheng's story, they should have been killed by one person, screams sounded one after another, are they just waiting here to die, fighting hard, and none of them escaped?
Suddenly, Du Sheng raised his head and stared straight at the guardrail on the second floor, Shen Mad was looking down, he had explored the two rooms in a soft voice, and a chaotic look proved that there had already been someone tossed on it, and there could be no one, so he had to take a closer look below and count the corpses.
Chu Cheng looked at Du Sheng, who was staring at the guardrail on the second floor, and looked at it unconsciously, and was startled for a while, when did someone appear on it.
Several officials who were sitting idly also saw Shen Mad, and one of them had already said loudly: "What person, come down quickly!"
Shen Mad ignored him and glanced at all the corpses, he was also glad that there were no Chang Yuheng and Liu Ping'er in these corpses, which proved that the two of them should not be in danger of life at least now.
The two of them were angry and angry, so they were going to go upstairs to take Shen Mad down, maybe they would be beaten half to death directly on it, in order to punish him for his hateful energy that didn't take the official errand in his eyes.
Du Sheng hurriedly said: "All back!"
The two officials were usually the most obedient to Du Sheng, and they didn't dare to go up again when they heard Du Sheng's words, but they still looked at Shen Mad angrily.
Du Sheng said in a deep voice: "Is Your Excellency looking for someone?"
Shen Mad looked at the calm Du Sheng, smiled, and continued, "Did you hide people?"
Du Sheng shook his head, his nervous face brushed away, smiled and said, "The lying and standing are all here, and the person you are looking for may arrange for them to lie down and leave by themselves." ”
Shen Mad looked at Du Sheng, he was thinking about Liu Ping'er when he looked at the corpse, then he thought he was sure, Liu Ping'er left, but Shen Mad was not stupid enough to ask Du Sheng where Liu Ping'er went, if Du Sheng watched Liu Ping'er go, then he would definitely be arranged to lie down before Liu Ping'er left.
Shen Mad paused and continued: "Since the person is not there, then I am leaving, and it is useless to go down, it is just to lie down a few more." ”
Du Sheng smiled helplessly and said, "Please!"
Shen laughed wildly, returned the same way, flew out of the courtyard and went straight to the alley.
Chu Cheng looked at Du Sheng and said unconsciously: "Lord Du, why did you let him go, he must have something to do with this matter." ”
Du Sheng smiled helplessly, and continued: "When I have a choice, I would rather choose to sit and think about something than lie down and regret my recklessness." ”
Chu Cheng looked at Du Sheng with some different eyes.
Du Sheng smiled, and then said: "Brother Chu, we can't stop him, he wandered around for a long time, looked at us for a long time, and we didn't know that he existed, this person is not something we can deal with, even if we go up hard, we can only be lucky, lie down for a long time and get up again, that's all!"
Chu Cheng looked at what Du Sheng said so surely, he no longer questioned whether Du Sheng was also a timid and afraid person, just a person who ate mixed rice in the yamen, Du Sheng's analysis made him feel that Du Sheng was a calm and steady person, although he had been to the Tongjiang Yamen a few times, but he had never seen Du Sheng, this person always went out to handle cases, but of course he had heard of Du Sheng's name.
At this moment, a hunter who quietly went to the backyard to see if Shen Mad had walked out of the window, and was still lurking in the backyard, came in in a panic and hurriedly said, "Brother Du and Zhelu were knocked unconscious in the backyard!"
Du Sheng came back to his senses and said slowly: "I know, he came from the backyard, Zhelu is out of the way, right?"
Catch quickly said: "It's okay, there are no injuries on the body, and it's okay slowly." ”
Du Sheng nodded, Chu Cheng looked at Du Sheng's calmness, and didn't say anything more.
Zhou Fengqi eased up, thinking about Du Sheng in his heart, the speed was also faster, and he came to the inn not long after running into the town, and there were fewer people around to watch the excitement, Zhou Fengqi's heart was also at ease, he was sure that nothing happened here, but he still gasped and walked into the inn quickly to make sure.
Du Shengyi got up, and his heart tightened when he saw Zhou Fengqi coming in, Zhou Fengqi and Lu Xin went to pick up the county master, and one ran back at this time, and Lu Xin didn't see anyone, how could he not think about the worst.
Du Sheng hurriedly ran over and helped Zhou Fengqi, who was out of breath all the way and his body was a little shaky.
Zhou Fengqi was panting, and he was waiting for a break to be even.
Du Sheng was already busy saying, "Brother Zhou, something happened?"
Zhou Fengqi hurriedly shook his hand, and then said: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just worried about you, we didn't run far out of the town, and a horse came in front of us, and before we could react, we let the family beat down from the horse, and the person didn't stop for a moment and came this way, so I was in a hurry to come back." ”
Du Sheng hurriedly said, "You are the only one, what about Lu Xin?"
Zhou Fengqi was still a little gasped, but he was afraid that Du Sheng would be in a hurry, so he hurriedly said: "He's fine, he fell off the horse and was knocked unconscious, I woke him up, the madman came from the adult, I was worried about you, so I asked him to go there to pick up the adult." ”
Du Sheng's hanging heart still couldn't let go, after all, there was no news from the county master.
Du Sheng said unconsciously: "Brother Zhou, you are not in the way, right?"
Zhou Fengqi paused, and then said, "Du Tou'er, are you going to pick up the adult?"
Du Sheng nodded, and said, "Let's go together, you can't stay here, if you guess correctly, the person who injured you has just come here." ”
Chu Cheng listened to Du Sheng say these words beside him, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared in his heart.
Zhou Fengqi didn't ask anything, he knew what Du Sheng would say on the road, and it was urgent to go to the county master now.
Du Sheng had already turned sideways and said to Chu Cheng: "Brother Chu, don't stay here, it's not safe here, you take the villagers outside, stay away, fence it here, don't let the villagers come in, if it's someone who is coming here, try not to stop him, we will come back soon." ”
At this time, Chu Cheng admired Du Sheng's delicate mind and kindness, so he continued: "Okay lord."
Du Sheng took Zhou Fengqi and the official messenger to get on the horse and go away, Zhou Fengqi rode the horse left by Qian Cheng, and a team of people galloped away.
Shen Mad and Fluttershy and Cai'er have already crossed a few alleys from the east, out of the suburbs, and on the side roads, and now he is the only one with Fluttershy and Cai'er, and he can't let himself and the others get into any more danger, so of course he can't let anyone who cares about them see their whereabouts and whereabouts.
Du Sheng and a team of people had left the town and ran five or six miles, and a team of officials came on the road ahead.
Du Sheng controlled the horse and stopped, and a group of people on the opposite side also came to the front, they also stopped, Du Sheng's heart fell back into his stomach, Lu Xin was riding with Zhu Kuai and Fu Gang, and the county master and Lu Ting were also behind, and at this time they were riding their horses to the front.
Although Lu Ting can ride a horse, he is also a civil official, and he was riding a horse in front just now, and after meeting Lu Xin who had returned, he ran to the middle.
Du Sheng had already urged the horse to run two steps and came to Lu Ting, and was busy saying, "Your Excellency is fine!"
Lu Ting usually weighed on Du Sheng, and then smiled and said, "Fortunately, Lu Xin said that the thief went to the town, you didn't meet him, right?"
Du Sheng continued: "When I went back to my lordship, I met him in the town, and he entered the inn, but we did not stop him, but left with him, and my subordinates did not dare to let the brothers go on this errand and die in their duties." ”
Lu Ting listened to Du Sheng's words before he brushed away the tension on his face, and hurriedly said, "You can't stop him?"
Du Sheng smiled helplessly, and continued: "The gathering of adults and brothers may not be able to stop him, and there will only be big casualties if you stop him." ”
Of course, Lu Ting believed Du Sheng's words, and let out a sigh of relief, and then said, "You have done the right thing, and it is the best policy not to let the brothers have unnecessary casualties." ”
Du Sheng responded, and unconsciously said again: "By the way, my lord, there is a big case in the inn, I'm afraid we will be implicated in trouble, and the Chongjian Sect, Qian Cheng and twenty disciples in our county were all killed in the inn." ”
When Lu Ting heard this, he felt that his head was buzzing, and he was speechless when he opened his mouth for a while.
Du Sheng hurriedly said: "Don't worry, adults, this matter can be dealt with." ”
Lu Ting relieved himself and hurriedly said, "How to deal with it, do you have a way?"
Du Sheng saw that Lu Ting was relieved, and hurriedly said: "My lord, I have learned some about the situation, it's very messy, I sorted it out, a few guests came to the inn last night, and then the disciples of Tongjiang Chongjian Gate who came to collect accounts in the afternoon found something, and they were in a hurry to rush back at night, who knew that they were targeted by a few bandits who had also been to the inn, and set up an ambush at the entrance of the town, killed one of them, and the other ran away, it should have returned to Tongjiang overnight." ”
Lu Ting obviously had doubts on his face, but he didn't want to disturb Du Sheng.
