Chapter 15: Is She the Murderer?
The Sea Dragon King was in debt, shook his head painfully, and said, "Feng Zhutou, I dare to guarantee that this must not be the Salt Gang's doing. And as far as the old man knows, within a radius of three hundred miles, no underworld force has the courage to commit such a heinous case. ”
"The old man is so sure?" Feng Letai seemed to believe it.
"Although I have been out of the gang for a long time, if something like this happens, someone will tell me immediately. The Sea Dragon King's expression was gloomy, "Besides, helping the people is nothing more than the word 'profit', or seizing the dock, or robbing the salt ship, or bullying the market, or possibly." What did they do when they kidnapped a bunch of subordinates from the imperial court? Although the Salt Gang sold illicit salt, they never tied up tickets......
Feng Letai pushed his hat back, thought for a while, and asked, "Could it be that some other gang is greedy for ransom, or for other purposes, they are targeting the honor guard and doing this case in Shilipo?"
"No way. Except for the Salt Gang, the other gangs in this area are weak and have no time to take care of themselves, how can they provoke the government?"
"That's weird. Feng Letai frowned, lost in thought.
The Sea Dragon King coughed twice and covered his mouth with a silk scarf: "Actually, even if the Salt Gang has a big shelf on the surface, it is just barely enough to eat, how dare you blatantly go against the imperial court! Touching the official family, is it a trivial matter, the Yulin Guard will send troops to exterminate the ......"
Feng Letai was puzzled: "No matter what, these more than 100 people will never grow wings and fly away by themselves, right?"
"Recently, there has indeed been a mysterious force in Beijing. The Sea Dragon King's hands trembled, and he gasped: "These people are well-trained, disciplined, they rarely show their heads, they are good at disguise, and their actions seem to be specifically aimed at the princes and ministers in the imperial court. A few days ago, weren't they the ones who attempted to assassinate Shangshu Qitai of the Ministry of War?"
"We don't know much about this matter Ying Tianfu, because it was Jinyiwei who was in charge of investigating this matter at that time. ”
"Ah, the dignified town envoy Ji Ning sat in the capital division, and three hundred brocade guards went back and forth, and investigated for nearly a month, and finally the Bali Bridge Poplar Forest was fought, and it was not that the female bandit leader Chen Fangfang ran away!"
"How do you know so much?" Feng Letai blurted out, he glanced at the Sea Dragon King's aging face, and quickly stopped talking: "These are all secrets of the imperial court. ”
The Sea Dragon King smiled, and there was no lack of pride in his expression: "The Salt Gang has been standing for a hundred years, and naturally has his rules of survival......"
"Admire. ”
"Originally, I didn't want to talk too much, but since my friend came to the door today, I will simply tell you a shocking secret!" "The Sea Dragon King gasped, his gray face flushed, "The leader of this Jianghu organization, a woman with vast magical powers, is said to be the descendant of Chen Youliang, the king of the Han Dynasty. ”
"Really?" Feng Letai was shocked.
"It's not true. ”
"In the first battle of Poyang Lake that year, Taizu won more with less, and defeated the 600,000 army of the King of Han. Didn't Chen Youliang and his son Chen Li both die in battle?"
"But in Wuchang, the old nest of the Han Kingdom, the King of Han still has many concubines. The Sea Dragon King leaned over, grabbed the silk scarf, and shot a strange light in his eyes: "After the battle of Poyang Lake, the old emperor Zhu Yuanzhang personally led more than 100,000 horses, non-stop, and approached Wuchang......
"I see. ”
In fact, after a defeat in the head-on battle, Chen Youliang was poor in donkey skills and plotted to assassinate him. It's just that the former emperor's flagship sword saint Dugu sought defeat with a Xuantie sword, and defeated the four masters of wind and fire, thunder, flying clouds, and dense rain under the command of the king of Han with one enemy and four, and protected the holy ......"
Feng Letai's eyes flashed with admiration: "I have heard a little about this matter. ”
"Dugu sought defeat and became famous in the battle, and since then he has established his unbreakable reputation and status in the rivers and lakes!"
"So the old man thinks that the carving of the Shilipo hijacking case was done by these so-called descendants of the Han Dynasty?" Feng Letai interrogated carefully.
The Sea Dragon King clenched his fists, his lips turned white, and the wrinkles on his forehead seemed to be sunken even deeper: "Well, the old man doesn't dare to speculate on himself." Everything is repaid by karma, and the cycle is not lost, and the Buddhists say that 'the time is not enough, the cause is not born, the cause is not fate, and there is no fate', which is also said. ”
"The old man's language is mysterious and incomprehensible. ”
"Where do I have any mysteries, a rough person, but it's just nonsense. ”
A smile bloomed at the corner of the Sea Dragon King's wrinkled mouth, and he fell on the pillow suddenly: "After talking so much, the old past, seven, seven, eight, eight, I don't know if it will help you?"
Feng Letai stood up and bowed: "The old gentleman is enthusiastic about providing clues to solve the case, and I thank you in the next step." ”
"Why, don't you stay a little longer, I've asked the butler to prepare tea in the front hall......"
"I can't do anything at the government, I'll visit another day. ”
Feng Letai and Tang Yu retreated out of the house and gently closed the door. Meet up with the fast catcher Jincheng and others waiting outside, and return along the same road.
A few people walked out of the Moon Cave Gate, went down the steps, walked the sandwich road, and before they reached the door, they saw the elderly housekeeper who had led them into the house standing in the courtyard, holding a birdcage in his hand, looking up at the roof, and calling loudly: "Miss, come down quickly, the ridge of the roof is slipping, be careful not to fall!"
Everyone stopped, looked up, and sure enough, they saw a girl in a pale red shirt running around on the glazed tiles on the roof.
"Miss, come down quickly. ”
The girl didn't stop: "Uncle Ding, just take care of my little yellow bird, don't worry about me, I'm fine." I'm going to get this cat ......."
The butler paused and begged: "Otherwise, the master will blame me again?"
The little girl was helpless, stopped, and crossed her hands on her waist: "Oh, I can't have fun doing anything, I'm annoyed." You've been knowing, noisy, noisy, noisy, and you've scared my cat away!"
"Come down. ”
"Get out of the way, this girl is here. ”
After that, he flew down from the ridge of the roof four or five feet high, flipped in the air, and landed steadily in the middle of the road.
just blocked the way of Feng Letai, Tang Yu and others.
The girl was dressed in a pink shirt and small pink leather boots, with two trembling pink pompoms on the waist of each side. A red silk belt is tied around the waist. Because she was running on the roof just now, she moved her strength, and her face was covered with a thin layer of sweat, white and red, like peach blossoms!
Tang Yu raised his head and took a look at her.
"Is that you?"
The corners of the girl's mouth curled: "Oh, it turned out to be the country boy who wanted to participate in the swordsmanship competition......"
"The girl remembers me. ”
While speaking, the old butler stepped forward with a birdcage and called the little girl: "Miss, your oriole bird." ”
The happy chick turned around, straightened her slender hands, and said, "Uncle Ding, you send it to the front yard, the little yellow bird should drink water." Also, remember my chicks and bunnies, don't forget to feed them?"
The butler answered.
Tang Yu took two steps forward and said, "The girl lives here, do you like small animals very much?"
"Of course. The happy chick smiled and said in a coquettish voice, "Don't forget, I am the reincarnation of a thousand-year-old fox demon, and I am naturally close to these little things." Why, what are you doing at my house, is there something unbreakable, do you want to ask this girl to make a divination?"
