Chapter 159: The Tree Wants to Be Quiet and the Wind Doesn't Stop
Master Hu was very panicked, the package in his hand seemed to be a bomb, he was tightly held in his arms, and he didn't dare to let go at all, for fear that if he let go, the bomb in his hand would explode and blow him to pieces.
He is the master of the county guard Wan'an, although there is no specific grade, but in this Zhonghe county, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a person below one person and above ten thousand people.
Therefore, all along, his life has been very good, not ordinarily good, if it weren't for today's events, he believes that his son will continue to be good until that day comes.
But there is no way, in this world, everything is not transferred by human will, some things that should happen, will always happen, it's not that you want to prevent him from happening, he can't happen.
Like the letter that happened unintentionally in the county guard's study tonight, it was a matter that did not depend on human will, and he really didn't want to see such a thing, but there was no way, it appeared in front of his eyes, and out of some very slight curiosity, he opened it and read it.
Then, just like now, he left the county guard mansion as fast as he could, like a lost dog, and he didn't even dare to return home.
Home, thinking of home, his heart is a pang of colic, home must be gone, the old mother, wife and children of the family, must have been arrested by the people of Wanda County at this time, it will not be long before the head will fall to the ground, or used as bait to hook him, the final end, the same.
Therefore, he can only run now, leave Zhonghe County as fast as possible, and disappear into the vast sea of people, only in this way can he get rid of Wan'an's pursuit, save a glimmer of hope, and help his family avenge in the future.
This is the only thing he thinks now, and it is the one he has been forcing himself to think so.
"Yo, isn't this Master Hu? It's so late, so anxious, what are you going to do? Do you want to hide from your daughter-in-law and secretly go to meet you?!"
The sound behind him made him tremble, trembling all over, and slowly turned around, only to see three people in light armor who were spewing wine and looking at him with a malicious sneer.
"Li Yuan's personal guard!"
This kind of soft scale armor, in Zhonghe County, only one battalion of soldiers is qualified to wear it, that is Li Yuan's personal guard battalion, not to mention, now the leader is Li Yuan's personal guard battalion manager Qi Fei, although the two do not have any friendship, but they have also met, and the other two, one of them is tight, and the other young man, he also recognizes, it is the first person who made the first contribution when he took back Zhonghe County, a personal guard named Zhou Bao.
Seeing these two people, the big stone in his heart put down most of it, and suddenly, the spiritual light in his mind moved, and he rushed towards Qi Fei.
"Qi Yingguan, I want to be the first, I want to be the first, Wanjun Shou colludes with the thief, I want to be the first-!"
"What?!"
The three of them were all stunned, and their faces all showed strange expressions at the same time, "What are you talking about, Wanjun Shou is going to rebel, make it clear!" Qi Fei grabbed Master Hu's collar who rushed to him, and lifted him directly from the ground, "You'd better make it clear, if there is a half-lie, be careful that I will slaughter you with one sword!"
"Don't dare to lie, don't dare to tell a spy!" Master Hu said again and again, "Sending the burden in his arms to Qi Fei, "Qi Yingguan looks at you, this is the evidence, I just accidentally found this letter, so I had no choice but to escape, pity my old mother, wife and children, at this time, maybe I have been poisoned by the thief-!"
As he spoke, Master Hu burst into tears.
Qi Fei opened the baggage, and looked at it, except for some gold and silver, there was indeed a letter inside, and he was about to open it, but he was annoyed by the cry of Master Hu, and glanced at the little leopard.
The little leopard understood, and a palm knife cut behind Master Hu, directly knocking him unconscious, Qi Fei opened the letter with confidence and looked at it slowly.
It's okay not to look at it, but when I look at it, my expression changes greatly, and the expression on my face becomes cloudy.
"Brother Qi, what's wrong?!" The little leopard and Dong Chen both leaned over curiously, wanting to see the contents of the letter.
"It's nothing!" Seeing that the two of them poked their heads over, Qi Fei quickly put away the letter in his hand and stuffed it back into the envelope.
"The stakes are high, I need to go to see the big handsome immediately!" Speaking of this, he glanced at Master Hu who had fainted on the ground, "Xiao Dong, little leopards, kill him, make it look like a robbery, and then go back to the restaurant, just act as if nothing happened, understand?!"
"But-!" Dong Chen wanted to say something more, but was pulled by the little leopard, "Okay, Brother Qi, it's up to us here, you go and see the big handsome!"
"Hmm!" Qi Fei nodded, glanced at the little leopard approvingly, didn't dare to delay, spread his body, and ran straight towards the governor's mansion.
At this time, Dong Chen also came back to his senses and smiled a little embarrassedly, "Little leopard, I really thanked you just now!"
"What thank you for, since Brother Qi won't let us read the letter, there is naturally a reason not to show it to us, Brother Dong, hurry up and make a move, save you a lot of dreams at night!~"
"Okay!" Dong Chen nodded, looked around, walked to a dark corner, took a thick stick out, and walked in front of Master Hu, "Master Hu, you can't blame me for this, who let you see something you shouldn't see, if you don't kill you, maybe it will affect me and other brothers, so, there is no way, only wronged you, don't worry, I promise not to let you suffer any pain!" After speaking, the big stick in his hand slammed down, directly on the back of his head, and suddenly his brain burst and blood overflowed.
Poor Master Hu didn't even snort before he died of anger.
"Let's go!" The little leopard and Dong Chen exchanged glances, and left the back alley without looking back, returning to the restaurant.
When such a thing happened, the two naturally had no intention of drinking, and after a few drinks, they followed a group of brothers in the camp back.
Fortunately, this group of guards all drank a lot of wine tonight, and the few people didn't go out for a long time just now, but when they all went conveniently, they didn't alarm anyone.
Half an hour later, four figures appeared in the alley where Master Hu died.
"Hurry up, people are here, it seems that something is wrong!"
The four of them were all dressed in black clothes and black pants, with black scarves and masked faces, and they couldn't see their looks clearly at all.
"What, fourth, is it him?!"
"It's him, but he's dead!" said the masked man who was known as the fourth brother helplessly, "The thing was also snatched away, and it looks like it was robbed!"
"Who robbed the road?!" the person who asked the question earlier sneered, "Who would rob the road in this place where birds don't, not to mention that there are not even half a person here at night, even if there are people, what kind of oil and water can be robbed here?!"
"So what do you mean?!"
"The thing was indeed snatched away, but it was by no means robbed, check around, see if there are any clues, third, you take the corpse back to hand it over, tell the adults, you must be careful and take precautions, it is very likely that the thing fell into Li Yuan's hands!"
"Li Yuan, how is this possible?!" said the fourth in surprise, "Could it be that he noticed something about us?!"
"No, no, it should be a coincidence, damn it, when we just passed over there, didn't there happen to be a group of Li Yuan's guards drinking there? You see the escape route of this surnamed Hu, it is from there, I guess, when he passed through the back alley of the restaurant, he was discovered by Li Yuan's personal guards, and was followed by Li Yuan's personal guards into this dead end, and then started to snatch things, and was afraid of arousing the suspicion of others, so he made the appearance of robbery and killing!"
"Then what should we do?!" the third child asked.
"You go back first, bring the body back, tell the adults about it, and the adults will naturally have instructions!"
"Yes!" The third child didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly picked up the corpse, and regardless of the blood stains on the corpse, he used his strength to run towards the county guard's mansion.
"Big brother, what should we do then?!"
"Let's take a look around and see if we can find any clues, or rather, who robbed the things, there are so many guards in that restaurant, they can't all do it, see if there is any room for redemption in this matter!"
"Yes......!" the other two men in black replied, and three black shadows pierced the night sky and threw themselves in the direction of the Admiral's Palace.
................................................ "You guys are just going to drink, how can you get into such a thing!" In the study of the Admiral's Mansion, Li Yuan looked a little angry and paced around with his hands behind his back, and in his hands behind his back, what he was holding was the letter that Qi Fei and they got from Master Hu, and Qi Fei stood aside, and he didn't dare to take a sip with a look of remorse.
"We were also curious for a while, thinking that it was just that this master stole the things of the master's family and wanted to escape, so we wondered if we would arrest people back and see if we could get Wan'an's handle, but we didn't expect that this Master Hu would throw out such a big guy with one sleeve, which scared his subordinates!"
"Who else knows about this?!"
"It's just one of them!"
"Hmph, with your surname, you will follow that Master Hu alone?!" Li Yuan sneered.
"It's indeed a subordinate person, although Zhou Bao and Dong Chen went with me, but I didn't let them see the letter!"
"If you don't let them see the letter, will they be fine? I believe what you say, will others believe it?" Li Yuan's face was full of ridicule, the matter is that the three of you provoked it, let them find out, none of the three of you can run away, as for who sees it and who doesn't, no one will notice, you go tell the two of them, let them keep their mouths tighter, otherwise, if this matter is poked out, I can't protect you!"
"Yes!" Qi flew out of the study with a salute.
Watching Qi Fei fly out of the study and close the door, Li Yuan looked at the letterhead in his hand again, slapped it on the table, and sighed, "Alas, in this world, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop!!"
