Luodu Jin City is located in the west of the city, connected to Yongmen in the south and Shangximen in the north. It covers an area of more than 200 acres. A 20-meter-wide street runs across the north and south, connecting the Fangmen at both ends. It is no less than the main road in the city. The street is divided into three horizontal streets on both sides, which divides the entire Jin City into eight areas. There are many shops, filled with rare treasures from foreign lands.
The Hu Shang of the Lexingshang was white and fat, with two beautiful mustaches on his lips. He smiled and quickly wiped his beard with his thumb, and said: Huqin? Of course, it is the best here for me! Please see, the Huqin in the old one has three strings, two strings, and horse heads...
The businessman opposite said arrogantly: Not only do you need a piano, but you have any musicians?
Yes! Hu Ji, who can sing and dance in Luodu, all bought pianos in small shops. The quiz officials who learned to ask the people around him that yesterday several ministers sent people to summon the musicians from my journey to perform. Hu Li Ji, who has been closed for a day, is even more famous in Luodu! She can be said to be like a sing like a broken silk and dancing like a demon...
The businessman shook his hand, don't be too restless
Hu Shang gave a thumbs up, expert!
The businessman said: I have been staying in Luodu for too long and I don’t have to spend time in the shop and dance. I am used to the prosperity of Luodu, and I am afraid I won’t look down on our remote countryside.
Where is Wudu a remote place? Hu Shangdao: I heard that there is a spring outing platform in Qilifang, Wudu, and the singing and dancing inside are wonderful!
Cheng Zongyang said: It’s Youyetai, and there are no singing and dancing in Youyetai, just some strange costumes
Hu Shang was interested in temptation, laughed at him and said: It seems that I remembered the wrong thing about the customer. He is going to be old and just arrived in Luodu, right?
Well, the businessman nodded in a very stylish manner
Hu Shang's palms were combined, it was such a coincidence! The day before yesterday, an old musician came to Luodu. He was the most famous bard on the grassland. Whether it was the great Shanyu, the brave Khan, or the nobles who had as many stars, they all fought to invite him to their camp
Hu Shang was so vague, but Lu Jing knew very well that these Hu Shangs' tricks were really enough. He said dissatisfiedly: Where? I'll meet him
Just in the small inn in the south, Hu Shang smiled and said: But in front, he was a musician hired by our store for a lot of money. If the recruitment is transferred, his salary will be 60%
I've seen it first. The businessman said: If it's not suitable, there's no money
Hu Shang patted his chest and said: Just keep ten thousand hearts at your disposal!
As its name suggests, the entire inn is sandwiched between two buildings, with a storefront only five or six feet wide. You can touch the walls on both sides with your arms stretched out. It is not much better than the Changxing Foot Shop.
The two climbed up the stairs along the creaking stairs and found the location Hu Shang said. Cheng Zongyang raised his hand and knocked on the door. Unexpectedly, the door opened as soon as it touched, and there was no latch inside.
An old man with white hair and beard sat on a worn felt blanket, holding a broken huqin, and groping barely
Cheng Zongyang looked at it and his heart was cold. The old man was not tall and his wrinkled face turned yellow. What was even more terrible was that his eyes were narrowed together, and there was no light in the slightly exposed slits of his eyes. He was actually a blind man.
Hearing the voice, the old man turned his head and when he opened his mouth, Cheng Zongyang felt completely cold. The old man's accent was even more strange than the accent of the beast barbarian. He couldn't tell what language it was. He was almost mute and could not communicate at all. It was too difficult to find someone himself?
Lu Jing suddenly spoke a few words, his tone was similar to his seven or eight, and he could barely hear it similar to the Six Dynasties language, but he didn't understand a word of his question and the old man's answer.
The two of them asked and answered each other, and had a cup of tea. Finally, Lu Jing straightened his waist, took out a few coins from his sleeve and placed them on his felt blanket.
After leaving the shop, Cheng Zongyang said: Is it him?
Lu Jing shook his head, I could only understand one or two percent of his words, probably because he came from a tribe named Kuishuo, and was separated from his fellow travelers on the way. He had just arrived in Luo for a few days.
What else?
Without me, he couldn't understand
What should I do? Find a general interpreter? By the way! Cheng Zongyang reacted, he would definitely understand that Hu Shang!
Can't go to find outsiders. Lu Jing said: Although I don't know what happened on the ninth day of the lunar month, it must be a big deal. I'm afraid of a lot of trouble when I look for Hu merchants.
Twenty lives have been killed, and no matter how cautious he is, Zong Yang is not willing to see any innocent people being caught in. However, the old man Huqin cannot see or speak. Could it be that the clues will be interrupted again?
Waiting for the fourth brother to come back, Lu Jing said: He had been alone on the grassland for two years, and he might be able to understand his words.
Cheng Zongyang's heart fell back into his stomach. Once Si Mingxin came back, the two horses came out together, and there were not many people in Luo who could stop them.
There is also a scar-faced boy, but unfortunately there are no clues except for scars on his face. Cheng Zongyang sighed: It seems he has entered a dead end again.
There is another clue we didn't look for. Lu Jingdao: Manage the robbery of Shangtang
…………………………
A fire broke out in Changxing Foot Shop?
Tian Qiu felt nervous. This case seemed very ordinary. A fire broke out in a foot shop, which killed the owner's family in autumn and winter. Fires often occur. Moreover, the fire did not affect other houses and there were not much property losses. Therefore, the case was closed a few days ago.
But Tian Qiu knew that the fire case and the document were all two different things. A total of five people died in the fire. They were all cut off their throats with sharp blades and then set fire to burn the body. The owner's family was wiped out, and no one was alive.
Tian Qiu still remembers that he wrote the investigation on the bamboo slips and handed it to the county magistrate. The county magistrate attached great importance to this and immediately ordered him to investigate the case in detail and chased the murderer. But just one hour later, the county magistrate summoned him and handed him several refilled bamboo slips in person, and ordered him to engrave the name and leave a seal on it.
The ink marks on the bamboo slips are very new, and the content is very similar to my own investigation, but all traces of murder were removed and changed to an ordinary fire case.
Tian Qiu has been a clerk for many years. He carved his name without saying a word, and dipped the copper seal he carried with him on cinnabar, covered it above the name, and then respectfully handed it to the county lieutenant.
He knew that his choice was very wise, because just last night, Luodu ordered Lu Fang to die of dying, and the candidate to replace him was the current county lieutenant
Tian Qiu calmed down and glanced at the visitor inadvertently. Although the man was wearing a cloth clothes, the indentation on his hair was still there. It was obvious that the crown often worn by the general was a thick and hard cocoon on his tiger's mouth. Only by holding the knife for many years would it appear. What's more important is the long sword he wore with him. Although the handle of the knife was wrapped in cloth, the protruding marks on the tail of the handle were clearly a ring-headed sword. The Han military's standard weapon, as well as his eyes and figure... Only soldiers can have such a resolute gaze and upright posture.
There was a fire in Changxing Foot Shop... Tian Qiu said in a long voice: The case has been closed
The soldier remained silent, sure it was a fire?
Of course, Tian Qiu insisted that this is what the bamboo slips wrote on it
Are there any witnesses?
The fire broke out in the middle of the night, and it was through the forest. When someone saw it, the house had burned through
Where are the customers who stayed in the store at that time?
The fire broke out on the night of August 11th. According to people in the town, the foot shop closed down on the tenth day. There were no customers in the store and no other corpses.
What before this?
The latest was the ninth day of the lunar month. Someone had been to the store. It was a hunter nearby. I asked about it. He just went to the store to sell prey and it had nothing to do with the fire.
The soldier stood up, put away the Yulin Tianjun waist sign on the table, turned around and left
Tian Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and secretly prayed that the case would pass quickly. As for what happened that day, he didn't want to know at all.
…………………………
The young man who hunts...
An old man with gray hair waved from a distance on the roadside
Zhang Yu walked over and patted the hunting fork on his shoulder. "Do you want a rabbit? I just beat a few! That white rabbit was caught by me with a condom. I took it back and didn't eat it, so I could also be a plaything.
The old man looked at it for a while and said with satisfaction: I have all wanted these ones, how much is the price?
Zhang Yu was happy and his voice became louder. There were five rabbits in total, both big and small. The father-in-law knew that when he arrived in the market, the big ones would cost thirty or forty, and the small ones would cost twenty or thirty copper tills. If the father-in-law wanted it, he would give him 120 copper tills.
The old man said a few words, cut the price of five copper baht, and then took Zhang Yu to his house to withdraw money. Zhang Yu successfully sold his prey. He was in a good mood and chatted with the old man all the way.
When passing by the fire, the old man sighed: Changxing Foot Shop also burned the old man Sun in the store, who was two years younger than me, but he didn't expect to walk ahead of me.
Zhang Yu also sighed: Isn’t it because I went to the store to sell rabbits two days before the fire.
Huh? Didn’t the business be closed those two days?
The store was open that day without me
That was the tenth day of the first lunar month...the ninth day of the first lunar month...the old man counted the days with his face up to his face. It was the ninth day of the first lunar month?
It's the ninth day of the year
I remembered it. The old man sighed. I also went to the store that day. Old Man Sun was busy. I still remember a big man staying in the store, saying he was a boxer?
Yes! The boxer's surname is Du, who said he was going to get married. He looked happy and saw the rabbit I brought. He came over to ask for the price. He had one eye missing, and I remember it was clear.
The old man said: A boxer also lives in a bunk bed, so how can those people squeeze out Ah...
Zhang Yudao: The inns in the town are full, where can I stay in a shop without a tent? Not to mention boxers, I saw a scholar huddling in the shops.
Old, I can’t remember if that scholar has a scarred face?
The scarred boy lives in the upper room and brings an old servant
The old man sighed: It is not easy for an old person to go out.
The father-in-law is a kind-hearted person. Zhang Yu said and shook his head. Some people are completely despicable.
The old man said: Why did you say this by your brother?
That day, as soon as I entered the shop, I saw Sailu
Which is Sailu?
Zhang Yu said: To be honest, Sailu and I are the same village boy since childhood, he has never done serious business. He has been scattered with those vagrants all day long, and he even squeezed in the bunk bed that day. His eyes were aiming around, most of them because he was interested in someone's money.
The old man sighed: When you go out and meet pickpockets, be careful that those who are in the bunk that day are...
Zhang Yu thought for a while and there was a scholar.
The old man suddenly said: Yes, the older one
Zhang Yu smiled and said: My father-in-law misremembered the man's age in his thirties and forties, and the paper and pen he carried with him
…………………………
Zhang Yu took the money and walked away happily
Cheng Zongyang said: Yan Junping was the chief of the academy more than ten years ago. Now he is at least in his fifties and it sounds like that scholar is not him.
I still don’t think about the pie falling from the sky. Lu Jing said: Add the old servant, the scholar and the sermon. Now we know who had two rooms in the foot shop that day. One lived in Chen Feng and Yan Yu, the other was the scar-faced boy and the sermon shop eight people, namely Yu Fengwen, Du Huai, three porters, the old man of Huqin, the unknown scholar, and the sermon
Looking for Sailu! Cheng Zongyang was cruel and even had his name. I don’t believe that I can’t find him!
Who are you? Someone outside shouted
Cheng Zongyang realized that he was still standing in someone else's yard, and quickly smiled and said: We are passing by, we are tired of walking, so we are avoiding the sun here.
The man glared at him with a bad expression, then put down the bucket, scooped a ladle of water, handed it to the gray-bearded Lu Jing, and said rudely: Drink it!
Lu Jing was stuck in his beard and was afraid of revealing the filling when drinking water. He pushed it to Cheng Zongyang and said: Nephew, you drink it first
Cheng Zongyang couldn't give in, so he had to take a few sips
The man was unhappy and scolded: "You don't know the etiquette boy! Before the elder drinks, how can you, a nephew, drink first?"
Cheng Zongyang smiled bitterly in his stomach. The people of Han have a very ancient style, are open-minded, have clear grudges, and are very kind-hearted. Seeing two strangers staying in their own yard, they were still dissatisfied, and they still took water for the old man to drink, but the lesson he had learned was too unfair.
My elder brother taught me a lesson that it was only given by the elders, so I dare not refuse, and my uncle is old and cannot drink cold water.
Wait! The man pushed open the kitchen door and went to the stove to boil water
Cheng Zongyang and Lu Jing looked at each other and fled quickly
…………………………
It was found out. Zheng Bin said: The place where the pigeon flew to was a garden forest in Beim Mountain, which belongs to the private property of the Hou Lu Buyi of Yingyang.
It was indeed him! Cheng Zongyang comforted his hands and said: This marquis who is kind and studious, and respects the wise and humble, is very cruel in his own hands!
Lu Jing said: Where is An Shi?
He and Lao Ao and Liu Zhao went to give soup together, and first led the pigeon that I had placed before I put it
OK Lu Jing said coldly: Let's wait and see who is the one who killed someone?
According to the circumstances of the victims, there are not many experts among the perpetrators, so they set up a trap first and waited for the killer who came here to jump into it with Jiang Anshi, Ao Run and Liu Zhao's skills. It is no problem to have a dozen ordinary skilled players. Moreover, if you deal with a gangster, Yingyang Hou may not send many people to come here.
The apartment in Lejin has been targeted, and everyone has met. At this time, Jiang Anshi and others went out to trap the killer. The others were not idle. Gao IQ took a few imperial guards dressed as followers to find out the way and handle the matter of mining in Shouyang Mountain. Feng Yuan went to find a suitable residence and prepared to take it down as a place to settle down. Fu'an secretly went to the official residence of Song State in Luodu to see if he could make a connection. Hamichi and the green-faced beast looked terrifying, and it was too eye-catching to go out. At this time, he stayed in the club and polished the weapons one by one. If something went wrong, it would be easy to fight.
Cheng Zongyang asked: Jingnu, what are you asking about?
Jingli was sent out to investigate the movements of Yingyang Hou and inquire about what happened on the day of Chujiu. He had already returned. He replied: I have already inquired about the day of Chujiu. Yingyang Hou had been in Beimang Mountain and had never been to Shangtang.
Cheng Zongyang was very surprised and blurted out: How is that possible?
So far, all the clues pointed to the results of the investigation by the Hou of Yingyang, Lu Buyike Jingli, were completely unexpected. Since Lu Buyi was in Beimang Mountain, who was Chujiu Shangtang?
It is said that a scholar of Taiyi Zhenzong came to visit. Luodu's family of ministers who like Huang-Lao's art went to visit and asked: From the seventh day of the lunar month to the nineth day of the lunar month, the carriage of Yingyang Hou was in Beim Mountain and never left.
Which coach?
Jingli showed a hint of ambiguous smile. She pretended to wipe her lips, covered it with a silk scribble, and then quietly spit out a word.
Cheng Zongyang was stunned and said for a while: Do it!
Jingli said as if nothing had happened: It was not until the tenth day of the lunar month that Yingyang Hou left Beim Mountain and went to Beigong to pay homage to the empress dowager. In the afternoon, he returned to Yuanzhong for another month. Yingyang Hou's carriage had never been to Shangtang area. Jingli paused for a moment and then said: Do you still need me to check again?
Cheng Zongyang took a breath, no need, I went to ask her directly
It was really turbulent. Zhuo Yunjun went to Longchi and had no news for several months. Unexpectedly, he came to Luodu at this juncture, and he was also involved in the biggest suspect in the matter, Lu Buyi, and he thought of Zhuo Meiren'er, and Cheng Zongyang couldn't help but feel excited. Where is she?
Beim Mountain, Shangqing Temple
Cheng Zongyang immediately said to Lu Jing: Fifth brother, I'll go out for a trip
The sect of Taiyi Zhenzong? The surname is Zhuo?
On the ninth day of the lunar month, Lu Bumi of Yingyang was where he was. He found Zhuo Yunjun and asked, and he didn't have to bother to inquire. However, Cheng Zongyang was not easy to say this, and he just said vaguely: I have dealt with her, so maybe I can ask something.
Lu Jing rolled his eyes and thought for a while, Taiyi Zhenzong's sect is a frivolous person who is not easy to deal with. When the fourth brother comes back, he will be safe to take action together.
Zhuo Yunjun has a special identity. Apart from the few slaves of the dead girl, not many people know that there is the name of Taiyi Zhen Religion. No wonder Lu Jing is so cautious, but if he knew the truth, he would probably turn his eyes to the back of his head.
Cheng Zongyang coughed twice and said sternly: No need to bother the two brothers! The Taiyi Zhenzong sect’s sect is afraid of others, but I am not afraid! I can just go by myself if I say a few words!
Jingli knew the inside story, and he heard the master speak so proudly that he turned his head to cover the corner of his lips.
Lu Jing is not a long-winded person. Since Cheng Zongyang was sure of his words, he did not dissuade him. He nodded and said: I'll go find Sailu
…………………………
The carriage drove through the long street. Through the curtains, you can see the majestic viewing towers and Que Towers on the right in Yique. At this time, you can drive past the side, and the huge eaves and horns seemed to be pressing down from the top of your head, bringing a strong sense of oppression.
Poppy women leaned softly on their owner's knees like cats, with their delicate body half-wafted, revealing one side of the snow-white shoulders. The carriages of the Han Dynasty's nobles were mostly single-roofed and double-wheeled carriages, with only exposed on all sides, with umbrella covers on the roof to show that there are many types of private carriages. The most common ones are double-roofed four-wheeled oil-walled carriages, and some soft carriages with curtains and gauze as the walls. The common glass windows in Jin State were almost extinct in Han State. It was not that the roads in Han State were worse than those in Jin State, but that the speed of the carriages in Han State was much faster in Han State. The nobles who applied fat and powder and had to support their maids when they entered and left, even riding a ox carriage was too fast, but Han State was like a dragon and a tiger, and they were far away. If glass was used as a window, I don't know how many pieces to change along the way.
Cheng Zongyang was riding a oil-walled car that could be seen everywhere on the streets and alleys. It had no distinctive appearance and was guaranteed to be recognized when thrown on the road. However, there were mats, brocade mats and bamboo pillows in the car. He leaned on the pillow in a comfortable position, reached into the servant's clothes room, kneading the slave's plump breasts, while watching the blush gradually appearing on her face.
Under the influence of the prohibited tattoo, as long as you need it, the Pooh Slave is a slut who will be in heat at any time. In theory, any servant must satisfy his desire at any time, but like the Pooh Slave, who only smells his own scent, lust will be overflowing without control. The whole body is at mercy. Only Ningnu who is in the silence technique can compare with, and she is still sober.
The car suddenly lit up, and the shadow of the palace where the carriage finally ran out of Cheng Zongyang raised his eyes. A complex road built in mid-air in the distance was hanging like a rainbow between the two palaces. The entire complex road consists of bridge arches, corridors and eaves, inlaid with large pieces of mica and jade. In the sun, under the magnificent road are wide streets and large areas of gardens.
The Nangong where the emperor lives is, in front of it is the more magnificent Beigong Palace. The towering towers are towering into the clouds. Some are decorated with strange birds and some are decorated with mighty beasts. They shine golden light under the blue sky, full of the breath that is only found in myths.
The most noble Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty lives in this palace. She was once the controller of this empire and the source of the power of the entire Lu family.
Lu Zhi... Cheng Zongyang murmured, thinking of the name of the Empress Dowager of Han Dynasty: This is a very terrible name Ah...
…………………………
A cloud surged from the sky, the sun became dim, the autumn wind rolled up the fallen leaves on the branches, passed through the majestic building made of white marble, crossed the city tower with tiger soldiers, and flew into the majestic and strict palace ban.
The huge palace community was shrouded in dark clouds, as silent as if sleeping leaves were turning into a dark alley in the harem, flying among the vermilion palace walls for a moment, then crossing the high wall, sliding past a tall building with a white tiger, and landing on a straight imperial road.
A long wind hits, and the fallen leaves rise with the wind, swept through the palace under the autumn wind, and flew towards a huge palace. The palace is located on the two-meter-high platform. It is as gorgeous as a dreamy fallen leaves fly up along the long steps, and finally hit a bamboo curtain.
The hall, which is nearly forty feet long, is extremely empty. Standing at one end, you can hardly see the other end. The huge pillar in the hall, which requires three people to hug, is covered with silver powder. The pattern of cloud dragons and flying phoenixes is pasted with gold foil. A small yellow door lies bent down under the pillar, and is as small as an ant.
Bang! In the bead curtain, a black sleeve inlaid with gold thread brushed past, smashing a jade bottle of mutton fat on the table to pieces
A cold voice said: Say it again
No. The little yellow gate lying on the ground lowered his head deeply. After Huyang Jun entered the palace, the emperor immediately summoned Dong Xuan to ask him about the carriage and the driver of Huyang Jun. He killed Huyang Jun's driver and all the things Dong Xuan agreed to the court in the emperor was furious and ordered his soldiers to take the gold hammer to kill Dong Xuan and Dong Xuan.
Xiaohuangmen secretly swallowed and spitted, Dong Xuan said: "Your Majesty is in power, and the Han Dynasty is reviving. Today, a powerful slave kills good ministers. How can I rule the world? I am a despicable man, and I dare not defile the golden hammer in front of the emperor. It hurts the sage virtue of the emperor, and I am willing to commit suicide!" After that, he jumped onto the pillar...
A sarcastic voice behind the curtain said: Are you not dead?
……No
Dong Xuan continued with a hard head!
Seeing Dong Xuan's bloody face, Emperor Nuo's face was relieved, and he ordered Dong Xuan to kowtow to Huyang Jun to apologize. Dong Xuan refused to let the soldiers press Dong Xuan's head down, but Dong Xuan had both hands on the ground, hardened his neck, and the soldiers around him pressed them together, but he didn't press his neck down.
Those useless soldiers, what's the point of keeping them! A voice behind the curtain sneered: I guess the emperor is reluctant to kill him, right?
The emperor said that although Dong Xuan was not guilty of killing the thief, he had hit the Huyang Jun's carriage and was fined 100,000 yuan to relieve Huyang Jun's anger.
One hundred thousand coins are fifty gold coins. The emperor's pen is so big
Little yellow door closed his mouth tightly
Let’s continue!
The little yellow gate shivered and hurriedly said: Emperor Nuo sent Dong Xuan and comforted Huyang Jun. Huyang Jun had no choice but to thank him for his gratitude and retreat.
What happened later?
When the Huyang Lord left, the emperor asked someone to withdraw 300,000 yuan from the treasury and ordered the reward to the only one...the strong man just now
There was silence behind the curtain, the little yellow door held its breath, and the cold sweat from its forehead dripped down
After a while, the curtain said coldly: Very good, you go
The little yellow door leaned against the ground and retreated silently like an ant
The Hu Shang of the Lexingshang was white and fat, with two beautiful mustaches on his lips. He smiled and quickly wiped his beard with his thumb, and said: Huqin? Of course, it is the best here for me! Please see, the Huqin in the old one has three strings, two strings, and horse heads...
The businessman opposite said arrogantly: Not only do you need a piano, but you have any musicians?
Yes! Hu Ji, who can sing and dance in Luodu, all bought pianos in small shops. The quiz officials who learned to ask the people around him that yesterday several ministers sent people to summon the musicians from my journey to perform. Hu Li Ji, who has been closed for a day, is even more famous in Luodu! She can be said to be like a sing like a broken silk and dancing like a demon...
The businessman shook his hand, don't be too restless
Hu Shang gave a thumbs up, expert!
The businessman said: I have been staying in Luodu for too long and I don’t have to spend time in the shop and dance. I am used to the prosperity of Luodu, and I am afraid I won’t look down on our remote countryside.
Where is Wudu a remote place? Hu Shangdao: I heard that there is a spring outing platform in Qilifang, Wudu, and the singing and dancing inside are wonderful!
Cheng Zongyang said: It’s Youyetai, and there are no singing and dancing in Youyetai, just some strange costumes
Hu Shang was interested in temptation, laughed at him and said: It seems that I remembered the wrong thing about the customer. He is going to be old and just arrived in Luodu, right?
Well, the businessman nodded in a very stylish manner
Hu Shang's palms were combined, it was such a coincidence! The day before yesterday, an old musician came to Luodu. He was the most famous bard on the grassland. Whether it was the great Shanyu, the brave Khan, or the nobles who had as many stars, they all fought to invite him to their camp
Hu Shang was so vague, but Lu Jing knew very well that these Hu Shangs' tricks were really enough. He said dissatisfiedly: Where? I'll meet him
Just in the small inn in the south, Hu Shang smiled and said: But in front, he was a musician hired by our store for a lot of money. If the recruitment is transferred, his salary will be 60%
I've seen it first. The businessman said: If it's not suitable, there's no money
Hu Shang patted his chest and said: Just keep ten thousand hearts at your disposal!
As its name suggests, the entire inn is sandwiched between two buildings, with a storefront only five or six feet wide. You can touch the walls on both sides with your arms stretched out. It is not much better than the Changxing Foot Shop.
The two climbed up the stairs along the creaking stairs and found the location Hu Shang said. Cheng Zongyang raised his hand and knocked on the door. Unexpectedly, the door opened as soon as it touched, and there was no latch inside.
An old man with white hair and beard sat on a worn felt blanket, holding a broken huqin, and groping barely

After leaving the shop, Cheng Zongyang said: Is it him?
Lu Jing shook his head, I could only understand one or two percent of his words, probably because he came from a tribe named Kuishuo, and was separated from his fellow travelers on the way. He had just arrived in Luo for a few days.
What else?
Without me, he couldn't understand
What should I do? Find a general interpreter? By the way! Cheng Zongyang reacted, he would definitely understand that Hu Shang!
Can't go to find outsiders. Lu Jing said: Although I don't know what happened on the ninth day of the lunar month, it must be a big deal. I'm afraid of a lot of trouble when I look for Hu merchants.

There is also a scar-faced boy, but unfortunately there are no clues except for scars on his face. Cheng Zongyang sighed: It seems he has entered a dead end again.
There is another clue we didn't look for. Lu Jingdao: Manage the robbery of Shangtang

What's more important is the long sword he wore with him. Although the handle of the knife was wrapped in cloth, the protruding marks on the tail of the handle were clearly a ring-headed sword. The Han military's standard weapon, as well as his eyes and figure... Only soldiers can have such a resolute gaze and upright posture.
There was a fire in Changxing Foot Shop... Tian Qiu said in a long voice: The case has been closed
The soldier remained silent, sure it was a fire?
Of course, Tian Qiu insisted that this is what the bamboo slips wrote on it
Are there any witnesses?
The fire broke out in the middle of the night, and it was through the forest. When someone saw it, the house had burned through
Where are the customers who stayed in the store at that time?
The fire broke out on the night of August 11th. According to people in the town, the foot shop closed down on the tenth day. There were no customers in the store and no other corpses.
What before this?
The latest was the ninth day of the lunar month. Someone had been to the store. It was a hunter nearby. I asked about it. He just went to the store to sell prey and it had nothing to do with the fire.
The soldier stood up, put away the Yulin Tianjun waist sign on the table, turned around and left
Tian Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and secretly prayed that the case would pass quickly. As for what happened that day, he didn't want to know at all.
…………………………
The young man who hunts...
An old man with gray hair waved from a distance on the roadside
Zhang Yu walked over and patted the hunting fork on his shoulder. "Do you want a rabbit? I just beat a few! That white rabbit was caught by me with a condom. I took it back and didn't eat it, so I could also be a plaything.
The old man looked at it for a while and said with satisfaction: I have all wanted these ones, how much is the price?
Zhang Yu was happy and his voice became louder. There were five rabbits in total, both big and small. The father-in-law knew that when he arrived in the market, the big ones would cost thirty or forty, and the small ones would cost twenty or thirty copper tills. If the father-in-law wanted it, he would give him 120 copper tills.
The old man said a few words, cut the price of five copper baht, and then took Zhang Yu to his house to withdraw money. Zhang Yu successfully sold his prey. He was in a good mood and chatted with the old man all the way.
When passing by the fire, the old man sighed: Changxing Foot Shop also burned the old man Sun in the store, who was two years younger than me, but he didn't expect to walk ahead of me.
Zhang Yu also sighed: Isn’t it because I went to the store to sell rabbits two days before the fire.
Huh? Didn’t the business be closed those two days?
The store was open that day without me
That was the tenth day of the first lunar month...the ninth day of the first lunar month...the old man counted the days with his face up to his face. It was the ninth day of the first lunar month?
It's the ninth day of the year
I remembered it. The old man sighed. I also went to the store that day. Old Man Sun was busy. I still remember a big man staying in the store, saying he was a boxer?
Yes! The boxer's surname is Du, who said he was going to get married. He looked happy and saw the rabbit I brought. He came over to ask for the price. He had one eye missing, and I remember it was clear.
The old man said: A boxer also lives in a bunk bed, so how can those people squeeze out Ah...
Zhang Yudao: The inns in the town are full, where can I stay in a shop without a tent? Not to mention boxers, I saw a scholar huddling in the shops.
Old, I can’t remember if that scholar has a scarred face?
The scarred boy lives in the upper room and brings an old servant
The old man sighed: It is not easy for an old person to go out.
The father-in-law is a kind-hearted person. Zhang Yu said and shook his head. Some people are completely despicable.
The old man said: Why did you say this by your brother?
That day, as soon as I entered the shop, I saw Sailu
Which is Sailu?
Zhang Yu said: To be honest, Sailu and I are the same village boy since childhood, he has never done serious business. He has been scattered with those vagrants all day long, and he even squeezed in the bunk bed that day. His eyes were aiming around, most of them because he was interested in someone's money.
The old man sighed: When you go out and meet pickpockets, be careful that those who are in the bunk that day are...
Zhang Yu thought for a while and there was a scholar.
The old man suddenly said: Yes, the older one
Zhang Yu smiled and said: My father-in-law misremembered the man's age in his thirties and forties, and the paper and pen he carried with him
…………………………
Zhang Yu took the money and walked away happily
Cheng Zongyang said: Yan Junping was the chief of the academy more than ten years ago. Now he is at least in his fifties and it sounds like that scholar is not him.
I still don’t think about the pie falling from the sky. Lu Jing said: Add the old servant, the scholar and the sermon. Now we know who had two rooms in the foot shop that day. One lived in Chen Feng and Yan Yu, the other was the scar-faced boy and the sermon shop eight people, namely Yu Fengwen, Du Huai, three porters, the old man of Huqin, the unknown scholar, and the sermon
Looking for Sailu! Cheng Zongyang was cruel and even had his name. I don’t believe that I can’t find him!
Who are you? Someone outside shouted
Cheng Zongyang realized that he was still standing in someone else's yard, and quickly smiled and said: We are passing by, we are tired of walking, so we are avoiding the sun here.
The man glared at him with a bad expression, then put down the bucket, scooped a ladle of water, handed it to the gray-bearded Lu Jing, and said rudely: Drink it!
Lu Jing was stuck in his beard and was afraid of revealing the filling when drinking water. He pushed it to Cheng Zongyang and said: Nephew, you drink it first
Cheng Zongyang couldn't give in, so he had to take a few sips
The man was unhappy and scolded: "You don't know the etiquette boy! Before the elder drinks, how can you, a nephew, drink first?"
Cheng Zongyang smiled bitterly in his stomach. The people of Han have a very ancient style, are open-minded, have clear grudges, and are very kind-hearted. Seeing two strangers staying in their own yard, they were still dissatisfied, and they still took water for the old man to drink, but the lesson he had learned was too unfair.
My elder brother taught me a lesson that it was only given by the elders, so I dare not refuse, and my uncle is old and cannot drink cold water.
Wait! The man pushed open the kitchen door and went to the stove to boil water
Cheng Zongyang and Lu Jing looked at each other and fled quickly
…………………………
It was found out. Zheng Bin said: The place where the pigeon flew to was a garden forest in Beim Mountain, which belongs to the private property of the Hou Lu Buyi of Yingyang.
It was indeed him! Cheng Zongyang comforted his hands and said: This marquis who is kind and studious, and respects the wise and humble, is very cruel in his own hands!
Lu Jing said: Where is An Shi?
He and Lao Ao and Liu Zhao went to give soup together, and first led the pigeon that I had placed before I put it
OK Lu Jing said coldly: Let's wait and see who is the one who killed someone?
According to the circumstances of the victims, there are not many experts among the perpetrators, so they set up a trap first and waited for the killer who came here to jump into it with Jiang Anshi, Ao Run and Liu Zhao's skills. It is no problem to have a dozen ordinary skilled players. Moreover, if you deal with a gangster, Yingyang Hou may not send many people to come here.
The apartment in Lejin has been targeted, and everyone has met. At this time, Jiang Anshi and others went out to trap the killer. The others were not idle. Gao IQ took a few imperial guards dressed as followers to find out the way and handle the matter of mining in Shouyang Mountain. Feng Yuan went to find a suitable residence and prepared to take it down as a place to settle down. Fu'an secretly went to the official residence of Song State in Luodu to see if he could make a connection. Hamichi and the green-faced beast looked terrifying, and it was too eye-catching to go out. At this time, he stayed in the club and polished the weapons one by one. If something went wrong, it would be easy to fight.
Cheng Zongyang asked: Jingnu, what are you asking about?
Jingli was sent out to investigate the movements of Yingyang Hou and inquire about what happened on the day of Chujiu. He had already returned. He replied: I have already inquired about the day of Chujiu. Yingyang Hou had been in Beimang Mountain and had never been to Shangtang.
Cheng Zongyang was very surprised and blurted out: How is that possible?
So far, all the clues pointed to the results of the investigation by the Hou of Yingyang, Lu Buyike Jingli, were completely unexpected. Since Lu Buyi was in Beimang Mountain, who was Chujiu Shangtang?
It is said that a scholar of Taiyi Zhenzong came to visit. Luodu's family of ministers who like Huang-Lao's art went to visit and asked: From the seventh day of the lunar month to the nineth day of the lunar month, the carriage of Yingyang Hou was in Beim Mountain and never left.
Which coach?
Jingli showed a hint of ambiguous smile. She pretended to wipe her lips, covered it with a silk scribble, and then quietly spit out a word.
Cheng Zongyang was stunned and said for a while: Do it!
Jingli said as if nothing had happened: It was not until the tenth day of the lunar month that Yingyang Hou left Beim Mountain and went to Beigong to pay homage to the empress dowager. In the afternoon, he returned to Yuanzhong for another month. Yingyang Hou's carriage had never been to Shangtang area. Jingli paused for a moment and then said: Do you still need me to check again?
Cheng Zongyang took a breath, no need, I went to ask her directly
It was really turbulent. Zhuo Yunjun went to Longchi and had no news for several months. Unexpectedly, he came to Luodu at this juncture, and he was also involved in the biggest suspect in the matter, Lu Buyi, and he thought of Zhuo Meiren'er, and Cheng Zongyang couldn't help but feel excited. Where is she?
Beim Mountain, Shangqing Temple
Cheng Zongyang immediately said to Lu Jing: Fifth brother, I'll go out for a trip
The sect of Taiyi Zhenzong? The surname is Zhuo?
On the ninth day of the lunar month, Lu Bumi of Yingyang was where he was. He found Zhuo Yunjun and asked, and he didn't have to bother to inquire. However, Cheng Zongyang was not easy to say this, and he just said vaguely: I have dealt with her, so maybe I can ask something.
Lu Jing rolled his eyes and thought for a while, Taiyi Zhenzong's sect is a frivolous person who is not easy to deal with. When the fourth brother comes back, he will be safe to take action together.
Zhuo Yunjun has a special identity. Apart from the few slaves of the dead girl, not many people know that there is the name of Taiyi Zhen Religion. No wonder Lu Jing is so cautious, but if he knew the truth, he would probably turn his eyes to the back of his head.
Cheng Zongyang coughed twice and said sternly: No need to bother the two brothers! The Taiyi Zhenzong sect’s sect is afraid of others, but I am not afraid! I can just go by myself if I say a few words!
Jingli knew the inside story, and he heard the master speak so proudly that he turned his head to cover the corner of his lips.
Lu Jing is not a long-winded person. Since Cheng Zongyang was sure of his words, he did not dissuade him. He nodded and said: I'll go find Sailu
…………………………
The carriage drove through the long street. Through the curtains, you can see the majestic viewing towers and Que Towers on the right in Yique. At this time, you can drive past the side, and the huge eaves and horns seemed to be pressing down from the top of your head, bringing a strong sense of oppression.
Poppy women leaned softly on their owner's knees like cats, with their delicate body half-wafted, revealing one side of the snow-white shoulders. The carriages of the Han Dynasty's nobles were mostly single-roofed and double-wheeled carriages, with only exposed on all sides, with umbrella covers on the roof to show that there are many types of private carriages. The most common ones are double-roofed four-wheeled oil-walled carriages, and some soft carriages with curtains and gauze as the walls. The common glass windows in Jin State were almost extinct in Han State. It was not that the roads in Han State were worse than those in Jin State, but that the speed of the carriages in Han State was much faster in Han State. The nobles who applied fat and powder and had to support their maids when they entered and left, even riding a ox carriage was too fast, but Han State was like a dragon and a tiger, and they were far away. If glass was used as a window, I don't know how many pieces to change along the way.
Cheng Zongyang was riding a oil-walled car that could be seen everywhere on the streets and alleys. It had no distinctive appearance and was guaranteed to be recognized when thrown on the road. However, there were mats, brocade mats and bamboo pillows in the car. He leaned on the pillow in a comfortable position, reached into the servant's clothes room, kneading the slave's plump breasts, while watching the blush gradually appearing on her face.
Under the influence of the prohibited tattoo, as long as you need it, the Pooh Slave is a slut who will be in heat at any time. In theory, any servant must satisfy his desire at any time, but like the Pooh Slave, who only smells his own scent, lust will be overflowing without control. The whole body is at mercy. Only Ningnu who is in the silence technique can compare with, and she is still sober.
The car suddenly lit up, and the shadow of the palace where the carriage finally ran out of Cheng Zongyang raised his eyes. A complex road built in mid-air in the distance was hanging like a rainbow between the two palaces. The entire complex road consists of bridge arches, corridors and eaves, inlaid with large pieces of mica and jade. In the sun, under the magnificent road are wide streets and large areas of gardens.
The Nangong where the emperor lives is, in front of it is the more magnificent Beigong Palace. The towering towers are towering into the clouds. Some are decorated with strange birds and some are decorated with mighty beasts. They shine golden light under the blue sky, full of the breath that is only found in myths.
The most noble Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty lives in this palace. She was once the controller of this empire and the source of the power of the entire Lu family.
Lu Zhi... Cheng Zongyang murmured, thinking of the name of the Empress Dowager of Han Dynasty: This is a very terrible name Ah...
…………………………
A cloud surged from the sky, the sun became dim, the autumn wind rolled up the fallen leaves on the branches, passed through the majestic building made of white marble, crossed the city tower with tiger soldiers, and flew into the majestic and strict palace ban.
The huge palace community was shrouded in dark clouds, as silent as if sleeping leaves were turning into a dark alley in the harem, flying among the vermilion palace walls for a moment, then crossing the high wall, sliding past a tall building with a white tiger, and landing on a straight imperial road.
A long wind hits, and the fallen leaves rise with the wind, swept through the palace under the autumn wind, and flew towards a huge palace. The palace is located on the two-meter-high platform. It is as gorgeous as a dreamy fallen leaves fly up along the long steps, and finally hit a bamboo curtain.
The hall, which is nearly forty feet long, is extremely empty. Standing at one end, you can hardly see the other end. The huge pillar in the hall, which requires three people to hug, is covered with silver powder. The pattern of cloud dragons and flying phoenixes is pasted with gold foil. A small yellow door lies bent down under the pillar, and is as small as an ant.
Bang! In the bead curtain, a black sleeve inlaid with gold thread brushed past, smashing a jade bottle of mutton fat on the table to pieces
A cold voice said: Say it again
No. The little yellow gate lying on the ground lowered his head deeply. After Huyang Jun entered the palace, the emperor immediately summoned Dong Xuan to ask him about the carriage and the driver of Huyang Jun. He killed Huyang Jun's driver and all the things Dong Xuan agreed to the court in the emperor was furious and ordered his soldiers to take the gold hammer to kill Dong Xuan and Dong Xuan.
Xiaohuangmen secretly swallowed and spitted, Dong Xuan said: "Your Majesty is in power, and the Han Dynasty is reviving. Today, a powerful slave kills good ministers. How can I rule the world? I am a despicable man, and I dare not defile the golden hammer in front of the emperor. It hurts the sage virtue of the emperor, and I am willing to commit suicide!" After that, he jumped onto the pillar...
A sarcastic voice behind the curtain said: Are you not dead?
……No
Dong Xuan continued with a hard head!
Seeing Dong Xuan's bloody face, Emperor Nuo's face was relieved, and he ordered Dong Xuan to kowtow to Huyang Jun to apologize. Dong Xuan refused to let the soldiers press Dong Xuan's head down, but Dong Xuan had both hands on the ground, hardened his neck, and the soldiers around him pressed them together, but he didn't press his neck down.
Those useless soldiers, what's the point of keeping them! A voice behind the curtain sneered: I guess the emperor is reluctant to kill him, right?
The emperor said that although Dong Xuan was not guilty of killing the thief, he had hit the Huyang Jun's carriage and was fined 100,000 yuan to relieve Huyang Jun's anger.
One hundred thousand coins are fifty gold coins. The emperor's pen is so big
Little yellow door closed his mouth tightly
Let’s continue!
The little yellow gate shivered and hurriedly said: Emperor Nuo sent Dong Xuan and comforted Huyang Jun. Huyang Jun had no choice but to thank him for his gratitude and retreat.
What happened later?
When the Huyang Lord left, the emperor asked someone to withdraw 300,000 yuan from the treasury and ordered the reward to the only one...the strong man just now
There was silence behind the curtain, the little yellow door held its breath, and the cold sweat from its forehead dripped down
After a while, the curtain said coldly: Very good, you go
The little yellow door leaned against the ground and retreated silently like an ant
