Chapter 68: Locking the Position
There were people on the streets, and many people were talking about two things.
The first is the news of Xiao Qianjue's death, it doesn't matter where the news first came from, some say that they saw Sun Siyu go to the coffin shop, and the relationship between her and Xiao Qianjue is not a secret now.
Some people also said that they saw Hornak and Chen Bufan go to the Yusheng Smoke Pavilion with solemn expressions.
The second is the kidnapping of Huo Yingying, the pearl of the dignified general, the emperor's niece, who is so bold?
Some people at the bottom seem to be involved in the premature dynasty, linking these two things together.
"Cripple Li, why do you say that these two things are related?"
"I passed by the coffin shop this morning, and saw Xiao Qianjue and his concubine buying a coffin, and the people accompanying her said, 'The general's girl has been kidnapped, what happened to Guan Xiaoxiang?' In addition, you don't know, this Xiao Qianjue was carried back by the Imperial Forest Army, and he was already breathing before he arrived at the residence. ”
"It seems that you didn't brag this time, speaking of which, the Xiao family is a famous family, and now the people in this family are gone, first the couple in charge of the family were killed by the second child, and now the eldest is killed by Hornak, it has only been less than a month. ”
"Then what does Huo Yingying's kidnapping have to do with him?"
"Hehe, I saw it with my own eyes in the middle of the night, yesterday Xiao Qianjue hugged Sun Siyu and Huo Yingying left and right, and Huo Yingying, a big and a small two beauties went home, you don't need me to say more about what happened, right?"
"Beast, Miss Huo was taken away by him before she died, and she was kidnapped at his house, if I were a general, I wouldn't be able to get around him!"
Just when a few people were "talking", there was a middle-aged man sitting at the tea stall next to him, he was wearing a hat, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, the two hands exposed outside the sleeves were dry and pale, and his nails were full of black dirt.
"Little second brother, can what the people at that table say be true? Xiao Qian, the dignified prime minister, was actually killed in the palace?" The middle-aged man's voice was like broken glass cutting through iron sheets, which was very ugly and harsh.
Cha Xiaoer first looked around cautiously, and then sneered, "Guest, you are not from Changchun, right? The boss of the Xiao family is the acting prime minister, not the prime minister." ”
"Is there any difference?" the middle-aged man asked.
"The difference here is big, there is a pronoun equivalent to preparation, speaking of which he is just a nobleman who has just inherited the title, and he does not have the right to be a prime minister, so I heard that the general was angry because his beloved daughter disappeared in his house, and killed him directly, in the eyes of Hornak, Xiao Qianjue is a fart. Cha Xiaoer was also talking about it, and seemed to know the secrets of the palace well.
The middle-aged man listened, put down a few coins, and got up to leave.
At this time, the lame man who had just spoken, also quietly got up and followed the middle-aged man unhurriedly.
"Old Seven, do you think there is something wrong with this person?" a tea guest asked Cha Xiaoer.
"Mr. Lu said that as long as you find that you are not a local and still care about this matter, you can go to the auction house to find Mei Niang to collect the money!" ”
"Damn, I said that this cripple has so many legs and feet, it turns out that there is such a good thing!" exclaimed one of the tea customers, as if regretting that he had lost all the money he had.
"What's the name of the ghost, Mr. Lu can say it, whoever spreads this matter, he will kill whom!" Cha Xiaoer hurriedly covered his mouth.
Listening to Cha Xiaoer's words, all the tea customers stopped talking, they were all ruffians in Changchun City, and they collected the protection fees of the people who set up stalls at various street corners every day, but there was one person they didn't dare to collect, that was Lu Guanchen, they were not afraid of Lu Guanchen, but the circle of friends behind him was too strong, and any of them could not afford to provoke any of them.
Auction house, Mei Niang looked at the cripple Li in front of her, and asked in a coquettish voice, "You mean that person entered a house at the entrance of Qingming Lane?"
Li Cripple affirmed, "He didn't walk in, but as soon as he slipped through the smoke, the person disappeared!"
"Oh, I'm afraid you're not dazzling, aren't you?" Mei Niang listened to this ridiculous explanation, a little unhappy.
"Sister Mei, who dares to lie to you in this Changchun City? What I said is true, he has a foreign accent, and he is very concerned about Xiao Qianjue's affairs......
Seeing Mei Niang's raised eyebrows and sharp eyes, Li Cripple immediately changed his words, "It's not Xiao Qianjue, it's Xiao Xiang, who is very concerned about Xiao Xiang's affairs, and he has a problem with one leg and walks with a little limp!"
Mei Niang's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she looked at Feng Boting beside her, "Brother Feng, do you think it's this person?"
Feng Boting pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you seen his appearance clearly?"
"Teacher Feng, I'll be honest, I didn't see clearly, he was wearing a hat, but his voice was very memorable, like a ghost..."
Feng Boting stood up, "Sister Mei Niang, you continue to collect information here, and I'll go out." ”
Qingming Lane, a slum in the slum of Changchun City, the people who live here don't drink tea, and they are reluctant to repair even the broken courtyard wall, but what makes Feng Boting care is not this, but that no one in the several large ironware shops in the city has recently bought a few nails.
At this moment, the sound of striking iron came from the end of the alley, which attracted Feng Boting's attention, and he saw that he followed the prestige, and an ironsmith workshop was open.
"Boss, let me ask you something. Feng Boting took a nail from his bosom and placed it on the table.
"What's the matter?" The boss first looked at Feng Boting in front of him, felt that his face was raw, and then looked at the nails on the table, and suddenly felt a little unhappy, "What's the matter, you think the quality of my nails is not good, and you want to return it?"
Feng Boting was overjoyed when he heard this, "The boss misunderstood, I wanted to buy more nails, and a friend introduced me, saying that your nails are the cheapest in the city." ”
The boss obviously didn't expect his store to be recommended by old customers, and he was interested, "Sir, who recommended you?"
Feng Boting smiled slightly, "My friend is a little lame, and I don't know if he recommended your family?"
The boss laughed when he heard this, "It turns out that the strange man is a friend of Mr., his voice is simply too difficult, too pleasant, and he also wore a hat on a cloudy day, I didn't expect his friend Mr. You look so talented!"
Feng Boting deliberately said lame information, and now that he heard the boss say other information, and it was basically the same as what he knew, he immediately decided that this person must be the one who kidnapped Huo Yingying!
Feng Boting excitedly took out a silver ticket from his arms and handed it to the boss, "Boss, please go to General Ye Mingye's Mansion and ask his son-in-law Ye Tianxuan about the specifications of the nails this time, this money is a deposit, and there will be more after the matter is completed! ”
The boss looked at the denomination of the silver ticket in his hand, and happily went to Yefu, and the store didn't care, Feng Boting walked quickly to the mouth of Chunfeng Alley, which was separated from Qingming Alley by two streets, and entered the barbecue restaurant.
If Lu Guanchen is a master of strategy, then Feng Boting must be a master of tactics, and it is no wonder that Lu Guanchen boasted of Haikou in front of Xiao Qianjue, "I will accompany the lord in this operation, and Lao Ting can do better than me." ”
The next thing also made Feng Boting famous, although the final ending was still not perfect, but the responsibility was not his.
