Chapter 32: Gentle Township
When Tang Yu saw the Sea Dragon King again, he found that although the description of this former leader of the Salt Gang was withered and his demeanor was slow, his spirit was much stronger than before.
The Sea Dragon King sat in his chair and coughed once or twice from time to time.
He said slowly: "You want to find 'Variety', isn't it, ...... This man, I haven't seen him in a while. ”
"Then when was the last time you met?" Tang Yu asked.
"About three months ago. The Sea Dragon King squinted his eyes and recalled: "At that time, just after the first month of the festival, and it was only the second month of the month, 'Hundred Changes' came to me, saying that he had been in some trouble recently, and begged me for help, and borrowed five hundred taels of silver from here......"
"What is he borrowing money for?"
"I didn't say anything about 'Variety', and I didn't inquire. I rarely ask people about their personal matters. ”
"Did he never come to the door again?"
"yes. ”
"Then did he tell you where he would settle down in the future?" Tang Yu obviously had a strong interest in this "variety".
The Sea Dragon King opened his cloudy eyes and sneered: "Their family will always be duckweed in the river, floating around with the water and wind, and it is impossible to stay in one place all the time. Have you ever seen a duckweed standing still?"
"Alas. Tang Yu sighed: "In this way, isn't this clue broken again?"
"Not necessarily. ”
"What did the Sea Gang Master say about this?"
Tang Yu looked at the Sea Dragon King with anticipation, "Do you have any other news about him?"
The Sea Dragon King sighed, tilted his head, wiped the corners of his mouth with a silk scarf, and said, "I heard that in the Ningxiang Building on Shangyang Street, there is a good friend in 'Baichang', called Miaomiao. He went there every now and then to spend the night. Therefore, this girl may know where he is going, but it is only a possibility, and 'Change' is suspicious by nature, and no one can say whether he will tell his behavior......"
Tang Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Okay, as long as you have your whereabouts." Check it out slowly, right?" He paused and asked, "Hai Gang Master, do you know that Liu Yu, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, hates this person?"
The Sea Dragon King gasped, squinted at Tang Yu, and said, "I don't know him well and rarely deal with him, but I heard of Liu Yu's accusation of Qingyuanhou's rebellion eighteen years ago. At that time, there was a lot of uproar, and the city was full of wind and rain, and now there are very few people who don't remember that incident?"
"Do you think he's going to kill himself?"
"Suicide?"
The Sea Dragon King coughed lightly twice, put his hands on his chest, and said, "This outsider is not good at talking nonsense. In the past, the girls of the Lin family were both talented and beautiful, and their fame was in Jinghua, how many sons and princes and grandsons were vying for worship, and that one didn't want to fight for a smile? In the end, although the flowers fell to the Tang family and Lin Xian'er married Tang Jingtian, the friendship between the three was not affected. After Dugu went to the Western Regions for defeat, Liu Yu hated to enter the Hanlin Academy, and in his spare time, he often visited the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion in Zizhulin, playing chess and drinking tea with the Tang couple, and reciting poems——"
"Then how could he have done such a shameless thing as a whistleblower?"
"Who knows, unless it's lard that blinds the heart. The Tang family and his wife have always treated him well. ”
The Sea Dragon King twisted his silver-white beard and shook his head dissatisfiedly: "It's this paper-thin report book, which can be described as blood and tears. Tang Hou Ye was forced to be unable to do so, he committed suicide by drinking, and thirty-nine people in the mansion died, alas, ...... evil."
According to the official documents of Ying Tianfu's case file, only 37 bodies were found at the scene of the crime. The only thing that has not happened to Mrs. Tang, Lin Xian'er, and her son who is less than a year old?"
"I haven't heard from me for so many years, but I'm afraid it's long gone. ”
Tang Yu sighed, and for some reason, a trace of pity surged in his heart. He settled down, stood up and bowed, and said, "Sea Gang Master, I'm sorry to disturb you." If nothing else, then I'll take my leave. ”
The Sea Dragon King nodded: "The errand officer walks slowly." ”
Tang Yu walked out of the small courtyard, walked through the hall, bypassed a green rockery along the zigzag railing, and came to the front yard.
At the door of the hall in the front yard, there are two bamboo chairs, one of which has a happy chick sitting on it. This little girl changed into an emerald green dress today, thin and cold, and a pair of short-waisted green boots under her feet. Under the backdrop of verdant clothing, the skin is as soft as snow, the eyes are bright and the teeth are bright, and the lips are like Danxia!
On the wall behind the bamboo chair, a pair of light bows and arrows hang.
When the chick saw Tang Yu, she smiled, raised her hand and greeted, "Xiao Zhu, come here, come here." ”
Tang Yu looked around, the courtyard was quiet, and there was no one in sight. He approached, stood at the bottom of the steps, raised his eyebrows, and said, "It's you, what's the matter with me?"
"Hey, it's only been a few days since you've been a catcher, and you've learned to put on an official stand?" The happy chick said with thorns in her words, mocking: "If you make a head catcher and make a general, the tail will not be cocked to the sky......"
"Look at what you said, are we that kind of person?" Tang Yu blushed.
The happy chick smiled proudly: "I'm not the little bee in your belly, who knows what you think? Now in this world, there are hardships to share, there are difficulties, you should be, as soon as you have a broad face, for the sake of money, there are not too many villains who do everything, even at the expense of sticking three knives in the ribs of friends?"
"You are so young, where do you get so much cynicism. Tang Yu was displeased and said: "Everything depends on the mainstream, the mainstream is good after all." Believe in positive energy. ”
"Alright, my detective, don't sing high-pitched. ”
The happy chick patted the armrest of the chair and invited, "Come and sit down for a while, talk about the case, how did you solve the case?"
Tang Yu didn't sit down, and said sullenly: "There is no progress." ”
The little girl smiled: "I've been suffocated to death these days." Hurry up, let's discuss, can you take me with you next time you investigate the case? I know it very well, and I can help a lot, and I won't get in the way. ”
"Well, you're an outsider. ”
Tang Yu hurriedly refused: "Even if I agree, Shangfeng will not agree." ”
"No, forget it. The happy chick raised her eyebrows and pursed her lips, "Originally, I still have important clues to provide you with to solve the case, but I was angry when I refused like this, and I forgot all about it......"
"Then when do you remember to talk to me. ”
"If you don't think of a way to make this girl happy, I may not remember it for the rest of my life. ”
"Then it can't be helped. ”
Tang Yu leaned over and said, "Disturb." "Turn and go straight to the door.
"Don't believe me, little catcher, do you hear me? ”
The happy chick is still more than love, and she can't help but laugh.
Tang Yu pretended not to hear, walked out of the door quickly, grabbed the reins on the horse, and walked away all the way.
Ningxiang Building is in the south of Shangyang Street, the Zhu Gate is wide open, and the lantern is hanging high. It's daytime, the cars are flowing like water, and the people are hurrying, and the whole pavilion seems to have fallen asleep. When I woke up, the night was falling, and when most of the people in the city came home from a hard day's work and were ready to enjoy a sumptuous dinner, the red lights of this small building were hung high, and the laughter and singing ushered in its most **** busy.
Tang Yuxiang Jincheng walked into the Ning Xiang Building.
After a busy night, most of the sisters slept, and although the turtle slave sitting in the hall was brightly dressed, his expression looked wilted and listless. The two went straight to the lobby and named Miaomiao.
The turtle slave rubbed her sleepy eyes and replied, "Miaomiao, she went out...... Would you like to change your sister?"
Tang Yu couldn't help but be stunned: "Went out?"
