The wind and the sun are beautiful, and it is a good time to take a bath and sleep.

Diao Xiaosi and Niu Bi found a secluded inn in the alleys of Luoyang City and lived, and in order to hide people's eyes, the two of them only needed one room.

At the thought of sleeping in a room with an old man at night, Diao Xiaosi felt uncomfortable, and immediately decided to take advantage of the daytime to take a nap, and then go to Luoyang in person to inspect the green buildings and casinos in Luoyang in the evening.

It is said that the peonies in Luoyang are good-looking, will the girls in Luoyang be better looking than the peonies?

So when Niu Bi proposed to set up a stall on the street to make a living, Diao Xiaosi covered his stomach in pain and ran into the backyard of the inn. After hiding for half an hour and making sure that everything was safe, he went back to the guest room to get a change of clothes, hummed a small tap, tapped, and dragged the clogs to the water room.

On the way to Luoyang, Niu Bi once said that the various hidden piles and lurking scouts set up by Li Tang in the city have recently suffered devastating heavy blows, and the dead have escaped, and the missing have disappeared and rebelled. Even if there are a few places that can still be contacted, who dares to guarantee that it is not the bait that Wang Shichong deliberately put down?

Therefore, it is best not to take the initiative to contact these dark piles and scouts unless absolutely necessary, so as not to expose your identity and lead to death.

In this case, it is undoubtedly the safest way to pretend to be a fortune teller in the rivers and lakes and walk the streets and alleys, try to get close to the Qin Mansion or the Cheng Mansion, and get in touch with Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin.

The water room of the inn is next to the room, because it is not time to cook lunch, there is only an old aunt squatting next to the well and washing vegetables.

Diao Xiaosi saw that the door of the water room was open, so he rushed inside and asked, "Is there anyone?"

After waiting for a while, no one answered, so he walked into the water room with a change of clothes.

He bolted the door, saw that the large bath bucket more than half a person high had been filled with steaming bath water, and the temperature was just right when he touched it with his hand, and he couldn't help but secretly praise the inn for its "home" name, thoughtful and caring service.

He stripped naked, sat down in the tub, sighed comfortably, and plunged headlong into the hot water.

Not long after washing, there was a loud noise of footsteps outside the water room, and the door of the water room was knocked on with a "knock knock".

A rough guy was outside in a hoarse voice and shouted, "Open the door, check the room!"

Diao Xiaosi was stunned, and before he could respond to the door, he was kicked open with a "bang", and seven or eight men wearing the uniforms of the servants swarmed in.

Diao Xiaosi hurriedly covered the vital parts of his lower body with a bath towel, and said angrily: "Niang Xipi, you also like to watch men take a bath, do you want Lao Tzu to stand up and let you see enough?"

The shopkeeper followed behind this group of officials, and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, these officials are also ordered to run errands." Early this morning, His Royal Highness was wounded by an assassin in the street and almost died. In order to arrest the assassins, the Luoyang Mansion issued an official document to catch the sea and searched from house to house with the city gate closed, and our small shop was no exception. ”

As they spoke, those servants had already churned around the water room like wolves and tigers, and naturally they found nothing.

Diao Xiaosi was still angry, and pointed to the bath barrel under him and said, "A few people, there are also people hiding here, why don't you search together?"

A servant didn't say a word, picked up the water and fire stick **** bath bucket in his hand and stirred it violently.

Diao Xiaosi's evil fire rose, grabbed the water and fire stick and said, "Do you really want to know what's in the bathtub of the road?" Come, Lao Tzu will help you!" reached out and grabbed the back collar of the servant, and pressed his head into the bath water.

Seeing this, the other officials raised their sticks and shouted, "You kid wants to rebel?!"

Diao Xiaosi didn't hear it, grabbed the official and lifted his head out of the water, and asked, "Is there an assassin in there?"

The servant even drank a few mouthfuls of bath water and was choked and coughed, his head shook up and down involuntarily, Diao Xiaosi smiled and said: "Don't see clearly, then take a closer look!"

The surrounding officials shouted angrily and swung their sticks at Diao Xiaosi. Diao Xiaosi lifted and pressed the head of the official like a ball, and kept asking: "Is there an assassin, is there an assassin, is there ......?"

"Click, click!" Seven or eight water and fire sticks hit Diao Xiaosi's body, as if they were smashed on a steel plate and snapped.

Diao Xiaosi slowly raised the head of the servant, smiled at him and asked, "What did you see?"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a "tick" sound, and a drop of water fell into the bathtub.

At first, Diao Xiaosi thought it was dripping from the officer's face, but slowly the water surface was flushed with a hint of red.

"Tick!" another drop of water fell, this time not only Diao Xiaosi, but also the officials and shopkeepers in the house also saw it clearly, and exclaimed in unison: "Blood!"

Diao Xiaosi was stunned and looked up at the place where the blood beads were dripping, and saw a figure lying flat on the beam under the roof of the black hole, which was the assassin he had seen on the street earlier.

"Wouldn't it?!" he wailed and said in pain: "My innocence, Lao Tzu has lost a lot!"

If there is a beautiful woman lying on her head who is shy and closed, maybe her heart will be a little more balanced. But it's obviously a dead old woman covered in goosebumps, but how can she teach people how to be embarrassed?

"Smack!" Another drop of blood fell on Diao Xiaosi's raised face, he blinked his eyes, lowered his head to look at the servant who had just entered and exited from the bathtub, and said word by word: "You all saw it, she was secretly hidden on the beam of the house, not in Lao Tzu's bathtub." This shows that I ...... with this assassin"

"Bang!" The old woman on the beam may have lost too much blood, let go of her hands and feet in exhaustion, and her body slipped down, and she fell into Diao Xiaosi's arms impartially.

"Poof-" The official held back the bath water in his stomach, and couldn't help but open his mouth and spray on Diao Xiaosi's face.

Diao Xiaosi sat in the bathtub with a face full of water droplets and hugged the old woman, looked around at the many officials and asked, "If I say that I have nothing to do with her, do you believe it?"

There was silence in the water room, and everyone's eyes stared at Diao Xiaosi and the old woman in his arms in confusion and amazement.

Suddenly, the old woman opened her eyes groggily and looked at Diao Xiaosi and said in a weak voice: "Save me......"

Then she was dazed and saw that the servants seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and rushed out of the water room in a swarm, tearing their voices and beating gongs and drums, and shouted: "Catch the assassins, catch the assassins!"

What's even more annoying is that the shopkeeper grabbed Diao Xiaosi's clothes and hugged them in his arms and shouted as he ran: "The assassin also has a comrade, the one sitting in the bathtub with a bare ass is, come on, I grabbed his clothes......"

The old woman was stunned, looked at Diao Xiaosi and wanted to say something, her lips moved twice but she fainted.

By the time she woke up, it was already evening. The rose-colored sunset shone in, and she lay in a grotto, a campfire burning beside her, crackling and softly emitting the smell of meat mixed with the smell of charcoal.

She suddenly felt hungry, and couldn't help but take a deep breath greedily, and her stomach "growled".

She looked towards the campfire, and saw a young servant sitting there munching on freshly roasted game, with a jar of wine beside him.

"People from the government?!" the old woman immediately woke up, and she didn't want to fly and sweep.

The sound of "chirp" spread out, and the burning branches sparkled at the young officer.

"You pug!" the young servant rolled on the ground in confusion, but did not forget to reach out and take the jar of wine into his arms.

The old woman's waist was so strong that she wanted to bounce up, and suddenly felt a heart-rending pain behind her, and the wound reopened, so painful that she fell to the ground weakly in front of her.

Only then did she realize that the area around her wound was cold, as if someone had applied ointment.

Thinking of this, she roared like a wild cat that had been stepped on by its tail, "Have you seen my body?"

At this time, she finally saw clearly that the young official in the grotto was the guy she had seen bathing in the water room in broad daylight before she fell asleep. If I guessed correctly, he saved himself and dressed her wounds.

Dressing and bandaging - the thought that the injured part of her was in the front of her chest, the old woman's eyes erupted with flames.

But she was just breathing fire in her eyes, while Diao Xiaosi was thick smoke billowing from her buttocks.

"Niang Xipi, you are not the daughter of Huanghua, even if I look at it twice, what's the big deal? When Lao Tzu took a bath in the water room, didn't you also look at it from head to toe?"

This is really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't know the hearts of good people.

The old woman stared at him for a long time and didn't speak, and suddenly cried out with "wow", and said, "Why do you say that I am not the daughter of Huanghua?

Diao Xiaosi smiled and said disdainfully: "No one wants it in seventy or eighty, and there are." Either you have a bad temper, or you look too ugly, or you are born a demon moth ......"

The old woman reached out and slowly removed a human skin mask from her face, revealing the girl's smooth and delicate face.

In all fairness, apart from the slightly dark skin and a small patch of shallow freckles on the tip of his nose, Diao Xiaosi really couldn't find anything else. Although it can't be compared with Wan'er and Princess Jincheng, who are naturally beautiful and bring disaster to the country and the people, and if they don't marry them, they will kill the people all over the world, but they definitely belong to the top of the million.

Diao Xiaosi's anger suddenly disappeared, and he asked, "Who are you?"

The girl gradually calmed down and replied: "My name is Liu Xingyu, and my father is the chief dart head of the Luoyang Longmen Dart Bureau......"

She paused, and then continued: "At the same time, he is also the leader of the Dragon and Tiger Society, the No. 1 gang in Heluo, and he was suddenly framed a few days ago and was arrested by the government and put in prison. The helm of the Longmen Dart Bureau and the Dragon Tiger Club was also seized by the government, and many brothers in the Dart Bureau and the gang were arrested. ”

Diao Xiaosi understood that it was the gangster in Luoyang City who committed Wang Shichong's taboo and became a victim of Emperor Dazheng's implementation of the new policy to fight the underworld.

I have to say that Fang Mingzu is much smarter in this regard, as soon as Li Yuan entered the city, the roster of the Chang'an Gang and the revenue from all parts of the city were handed over. Now this landlord is like the chief of Chang'an Chengguan, with 3,000 brothers patrolling during the day and keeping vigil at night, maintaining market order, mediating disputes, arresting thieves, and investigating household registration...... One by one, they were so good that they were very much in line with the emperor's wishes.

It can be seen that not everyone wants to go all the way to the dark, the key is who will light a bleached lamp for him in the dark?
