Chapter 22 Go to the provincial capital again

In the next two days, Qiu Haotian visited the city pharmacy.

The scale of the pharmacy in the county town of Yitouguan is very small, fortunately, there are many kinds of precious medicinal materials in the mountains outside the mountain, as long as the money is paid, what kind of herbs are also picked and sold. At that moment, Qiu Haotian prescribed a prescription, found someone to collect the medicine, and boiled it into snake bone soup for Fang Xiaoyun to drink.

On the third day, Chai Shaoning proposed to set off as originally planned, and together with Geng Qiuwen and Fang Xiaoyun, he took Shangguan Rou and sent everyone down outside the city.

Song Yuanlan had already packed up her clothes, coiled them, wore an emerald tight shirt and trousers, and was waiting outside the city with a long sword in her hand.

Although Chai Shaoning knew that Song Yuanlan was beautiful, she still didn't expect that she was deliberately dressed up today, her aura was compelling, and her beauty and beauty were close to Princess Fang Xiaoyun of Lengyue, especially a pair of tall and long legs, full of female temptation, standing there, Tingting was delicate and heroic.

Chai Shaoning looked a little straight for a while, and it took a long time to come to his senses, and he took the initiative to say hello to Song Yuanlan.

Song Yuanlan was even more proud when she saw that she had successfully attracted Chai Shaoning's attention, and she deliberately dangled in front of Chai Shaoning with a pretty face like a princess.

Everyone saw it in their eyes, and their hearts were bright, and it was this strong pleasing heart that made young men and women show each other their most beautiful side, coupled with an unpretentious and innocent gesture, which made the world more colorful.

Qiu Haotian handed over a gourd snake bone powder and two packets of medicinal herbs to Princess Leng Yue, and instructed her: "Before making pills for the teacher, you should first boil the medicine yourself and take it." I have a prescription in your package, and when the herbs I carry with me are used up, I can grab the medicine according to the prescription, and I can't forget it every morning and evening. More than a year, less than half a year, the stubborn poison in the body will definitely be exhausted!"

Fang Xiaoyun thanked her teacher with tears, and put the medicine in the bag hanging on the horse.

Chai Shaoning saw that Qiu Haotian loved Fang Xiaoyun so much, and he also had a strong attachment to his uncle and aunt, and the scenes became reluctant.

Song Changgeng personally led the horse, handed over the reins to his daughter, and told her to take care of herself, not to be strong in case of trouble, and to learn more swordsmanship from Geng Qiuwen, Fang Xiaoyun, and Chai Shaoning.

Although Song Yuanlan was very much looking forward to walking with Chai Shaoning, at the time of parting, she couldn't help but feel sad, leaning on her father's shoulder and quietly shedding tears.

When Chen Zhongshou brought Chai Shaoning and Geng Qiuwen's horses, the five children got on their horses and galloped in the direction of Taiyuan Mansion.

This time when they entered the provincial capital, Chai Shaoning and others did not delay, they worked hard along the way, and it only took six days to come to the outside of Taiyuan City.

Everyone was not in a hurry to enter the city first, and went straight to the home of the old boxer Song Shoucheng.

Song Shoucheng's family was overjoyed to see the old man returning, especially to Shangguan Rou, who rushed over one by one to caress and hug, and was very affectionate.

After Shangguan Rou arched in her grandfather's arms, she went out to play with her brother Song Ke and sister Song Yao, and after a while, she ran away.

Song Shoucheng was poor in his early years, married relatively late, but his wife died early after marriage, leaving a son and a daughter, his daughter Song Jiongyan married to another village, not at home, and his son Song Jiongming had a son and a daughter, that is, Song Ke and Song Miao.

Now Song Shoucheng's grandson and granddaughter have abandoned martial arts and literature, and the swords on the weapon rack in the courtyard of the family, except for the old boxer Song who danced when he moved his fists and feet, usually furnished more than practical.

Song Shoucheng experienced all the dangers of darts back then, and he was tired of the days of licking blood with a knife, and he did not object to the younger generations not practicing martial arts.

Grandson and granddaughter know that grandpa loves swords, weapons are erected in the yard, there is also a novel taste, usually when they are free, they help grandpa wipe weapons, although time has passed, the swords on the shelf are still shiny.

Although Song Shoucheng is old, his personality of liking to make friends has never changed. The children and grandchildren are filial to the elderly, and they do not object to the grandfather inviting friends from the rivers and lakes to live in the house for a long time. Over time, a habit has been developed that whenever Song Shoucheng's friends arrive, his children and grandchildren will make tea and quit automatically, providing Song Shoucheng with convenient conditions to get fun from reminiscing about old things when chatting with friends.

Geng Qiuwen and Fang Xiaoyun knew the habits of Song Shoucheng's family, and they were not polite to Song Jiongming and others, and after sitting down with Song Shoucheng, they explained the matter in detail.

"With the misfortune of the Lin Yuan Master and his wife, we are very worried that the thief will be unfavorable to the old boxer, and now that you are as healthy as ever, we are relieved!" Geng Qiuwen said, breathing a long sigh of relief.

"The thieves still don't look down on my old bones. Song Shoucheng said with a smile and said: "Although you have the Western Wilderness Heroes in charge, I am afraid that you will not be able to take into account the safety of these many people." Moreover, if the news is correct, it will be even more unfavorable to you, Lu Yushan is still the leader of the martial arts alliance after all, and he is an enemy, and if he is not good, he will become a public enemy of martial arts. ”

Geng Qiuwen completely agreed with Song Shoucheng's opinion and said cautiously: "We have also considered this. The family teacher once told me privately that when Miss Lin is rescued, my sister and I can go to Shaolin and tell the abbot Master Wankong of all the reasons, and ask him to join Wudang to teach Yunyang Zhenren, and thoroughly investigate the matter of the thieves together, and return justice to Wulin. ”

Song Shoucheng patted the case and said: "The old man is thoughtful. As long as the true face of the heavenly thief is exposed, it will be difficult for Lu Yushan to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes, and the Holy Sword Villa will also be self-defeating. ”

Fang Xiaoyun interjected: "Although the heavenly thieves are not easy to deal with, since we know their true colors, we can plan and strategize. However, it was that fake evil angler and Murong Nianhua and his gang who dared to be enemies of the Holy Sword Villa, and the strength behind them was probably no less than that of the Heavenly Thieves, and we still didn't know anything about them, and it was really difficult to save Miss Lin. ”

"That's true. Song Shoucheng turned to look at Chai Shaoning and said, "The last time Shaoning followed the thief, he had already startled the snake, and Murong Nianhua would definitely take precautions against this." According to the old decay, you might as well go to Shaolin first, with your current manpower, it is not enough to deal with a group of thieves, how can you deal with two gangs of thieves at the same time?"

The Lone Star Swordsman was just about to agree, when he heard Chai Shaoning ask Song Shoucheng: "Seniors have ever heard of the name of Yongxing Dart Bureau in their early years?"

Song Shoucheng said strangely: "How could Shaoning know about the Yongxing Dart Bureau? That chief dart head Wang Dacheng also had a relationship with me, but unfortunately he was killed, and the murderer is still at large." ”

Chai Shaoning was not in a hurry to answer Song Shoucheng's question, but continued to ask: "Can the seniors tell me the whole story of the murder of President Wang's dart?"

Just looking at his expression, Song Shoucheng had guessed that the bloody case of the year had a lot to do with Chai Shaoning. He was calm and did not inquire about the reason, but recalled: "That was thirteen years ago. At that time, Mr. Wang took a dart to Hubei, but more than a month after leaving, all the children in the family were suddenly killed. When the government was arresting the murderer, the entourage of the dart owner Sun Ji Silk Village returned, saying that Mr. Wang's dart head and the accompanying dart masters Zhao Qiang and Du Yumei were killed. ”

Chai Shaoning had tears hidden in his eyes, Song Shoucheng was more sure of his guess, and kept saying: "Du Yumei has a sword in her heart, Mr. Wang's dart head was cut off half of his face, and the worst thing is Zhao Qiang, who couldn't even find his head." Among the four dart masters, only Du Yumei's husband Chai Youjue's life and death are unknown. ”

Someone next to him said "Huh", Song Shoucheng turned his head, and saw that it was Fang Xiaoyun, the princess of Lengyue.

Fang Xiaoyun listened to Song Shoucheng's narration and Chai Shaoning's original lecture was slightly different, and she could hold back before, but at this time, she couldn't help but let out a question.

Chai Shaoning asked with tears in his eyes: "Shu Ning'er is reckless, did the seniors remember this matter?"

This question was a bit rude, but Song Shoucheng didn't mind, and sighed: "This bloody case was rumored for a while, not only me, but also the entire Taiyuan Mansion. ”

Geng Qiuwen looked at Chai Shaoning and then at Song Shoucheng, and said on behalf of Chai Shaoning: "Please continue to speak." ”

Song Shoucheng continued: "Chai Youjue still had a son in the city at that time, and his brother and sister-in-law took care of him. But when the government went to look for someone-" Speaking of this, Song Shoucheng had already come to his senses, looked at Chai Shaoning and said: "When the people in the government went to look for Chai Youjue's descendants, they found that the Chai family had gone to the empty house. After asking the neighbors, I learned that on the second day of the Yongxing Dart Bureau bloodbath, Chai Youjue's brother and sister-in-law left in a hurry with the child. ”

Chai Shaoning endured his grief and asked slowly, "What happened to this matter?"

Song Shoucheng said: "Later, someone in Sun Ji's silk village spread the word, saying that Chai Youjue killed people and snatched books in order to covet a sword book, and the escape of his brother and sister-in-law and children is ironclad evidence. ”

When Chai Shaoning heard this, he couldn't help but "snap" and patted the armrest of the wooden chair and said, "What nonsense!" After speaking, he burst into tears.

Chai Shaoning's words of course refer to those gossips, but since the matter was narrated by Song Shoucheng, Chai Shaoning's words are suspected of being directed at Song Shoucheng.

Geng Qiuwen saw that Chai Shaoning's emotions were out of control, and just about to explain for him, Song Shoucheng had already waved his hand at Geng Qiuwen and said to Chai Shaoning: "I also think there is something strange about this matter." ”

Chai Shaoning also woke up to his rude situation at this time, and hurriedly collected his thoughts, and asked respectfully: "What do you think is strange in the seniors?"

Song Shoucheng said: "Du Yumei is Chai Youjue's wife, if Chai Youjue can even kill his beloved wife for the sake of the sword spectrum, how can he take care of the lives of his brother and sister-in-law, and be willing to sneak back and take away his family? ”

Song Yuanlan had been listening quietly beside her, and only then did she ask indignantly, "Didn't anyone else see the suspicion?"

Song Shoucheng shook his head helplessly and said: "There are many people in this world who are rumors, and when I hear that there is such a strange thing, I will only add fuel and vinegar, lest it be true, who will think about it carefully?"

Geng Qiuwen sighed, and talked about his background on behalf of Chai Shaoning.

Song Shoucheng had already guessed the reason, and it was not surprising, but when he heard that the person who returned to deliver the letter was Zhao Qiang, everything suddenly became clear: "No wonder the head of Zhao Qiang's body is missing." According to what you said, it should be Zhao Qiang who killed Mr. Wang's family, so he scared away Shaoning's uncle and aunt and blamed others, so that he could get away with it. That headless corpse should be Chai Youjue. ”
