Aggrieved Fish Sprite
Chapter 22
The cold wind brought faint screams and shouts, Mo Li finally remembered what he forgot.
——Liu Chang is still in that house.
With so many people dead, things got bigger.
Mrs. Xue's wish to send Liu Chang far away is likely to come to nothing. Such a murder case will definitely alarm the county government. Liu Chang can completely say that someone assassinated the imperial court official, and then he will find an excuse to stay in Ma County. Put pressure on the county government.
This is not the most troublesome thing. When this murder case is reported to the Pingzhou government, Jin Yiwei's secret subordinates will find that all the people he placed in Ma County have died, while Liu Chang and others came to stay overnight, but they are alive and well.
What else is there to say, it must be checked from Liu Chang!
As long as you do a search, you will soon find out that Liu Chang went to Ma County for the purpose of retiring the marriage in the past, and the person who married him with his fingertips turned out to be the daughter of the ghost vulture.Needless to say, Jin Yiwei must think that the murderer was Zhixian Xue, or Lady Xue.
The purpose of leaving Liu Chang face to face is to follow up afterwards and wait for the opportunity to kill people to avoid future troubles.
There are mountains everywhere around Ma County. Once the body is thrown into a remote valley, the person will disappear when the snow covers it again.When the next spring is warm and the flowers bloom, only some broken bones and clothes can be retrieved from the ravine, because the corpses have been eaten by wild wolves.Ma County insisted that they stumbled and fell into a ravine and fell to their deaths, which became a headless case.
Unexpectedly, the house where Liu Chang stayed was the stronghold of Jin Yiwei's secret subordinates.
The Xue family, who sneaked into the house and were about to do something, suddenly found that this place was unusual, it was an unknown force that was tracking the treasure of the previous dynasty, and immediately changed their minds, instead of taking care of Liu Chang, they killed all the servants in the house, and then entered the study He restrained Kun Qi (a skinny man) and forced Gan Wu (an outsider) to explain his origins.
Ganwu was greedy and prepared to sell Jinyiwei out of fear of death, but Kunqi put out his mouth with pear blossom needles, and because he was afraid of Xue's family's methods, he committed suicide directly.So Xue's family didn't find out who was behind the power, and they were so worried that they simply let Liu Chang have a way out and asked him to make a big fuss and confuse the situation in order to catch the people behind the scenes.
——The above speculation can be said to be reasonable, combined with the traces left in the study, it is even more convincing.
Mo Li's face darkened, he turned around and ran towards the mansion.
There seemed to be a gust of wind passing by the ear, and the corner of the ink carp's eyes caught the brown shadow again.
"Doctor, please stay."
"I have something to do." Mo Li didn't stop on his feet, and he came to the courtyard wall in an instant, and then climbed over the wall.
In the cold night, Liu Chang and others rushed to the backyard with a lantern.
Two figures flashed by on the courtyard wall, under the reflection of the snow, the speed was like an illusion.
The leading soldier instinctively widened his eyes, but only saw the pine branches in the yard overwhelmed, swaying in the cold wind, and as the people carrying the lanterns entered the yard, shadows also appeared.
The shadow of the tree protruded from the shadow cast by the eaves. At first glance, it seemed to be hiding in a dark place, but suddenly it turned into a demon that stretched out its sharp claws towards them.
"what!"
The soldiers backed away sharply, staring at the shadow on the ground in horror.
"What's going on?" Everyone quickly raised the knives in their hands and looked around vigilantly.
The soldier who shouted out his voice realized that he was frightened by the shadow. He couldn't bear to admit it, so he just pointed at it casually and said nonsense, "I seem to have seen a figure there just now."
"what?"
Liu Chang stared at the opposite roof, his face slightly distorted.
The soldier quickly withdrew his hand, why did he blindly point to the roof?Who can stand on the roof with such thick snow?He was about to say that he was wrong, but Liu Chang had already ordered: "Go and see if there are any footprints on it!"
Everyone dawdled, obviously not daring to approach.
They just looked at the servant's body and knew that the murderer was a man with martial arts skills.
——Murder is like killing a chicken, twisting the neck of the deceased in one go, who dares to provoke such a murderer?
"Go!" Liu Chang said sharply.
He felt a pain in his heart again, because of his body, he didn't have enough energy to show the lead as he used to, but stood among the crowd.
Dissatisfied, the soldiers dragged themselves to the eaves and looked carefully, but found no snow that had fallen down, and no footprints as far as they could see.
"Report to me, no one!"
After hearing this, Liu Chang glared at the soldier who called out at first, and continued to lead the people to the backyard.
At this time, in the study, Mo Li checked the two corpses, and took out a small bamboo tube for sending messages from the thin man's arms, and there was half the word Xue written in blood on the corner of the wall next to Yuanwai's corpse.
Doctor Mo erased all these traces with a sullen face.
Standing in front of the window, Meng Qi saw that the light of the lantern was getting closer and had already circled to the study, so he slowly raised his hand.
Seeing several lanterns go out together, Liu Chang and others were shocked.
"Someone!"
In a panic, the soldiers' blades collided with each other.
They couldn't tell whether it was the enemy or one of their own people, they just thought it was an attack, so they swung their knives to block it.Pushing each other, punching and kicking, making a mess.
Meng Qi calmly made a gesture of invitation to Mo Li.
Ink Carp: "..."
The two passed through the chaotic crowd one after another, their bodies were flexible, and they didn't touch anyone, just like an invisible wind.When they were far away, the soldiers were still fighting each other. Liu Chang leaned against the wall and was not involved. His eyes were fixed on the direction Mo Li left.
Liu Chang saw two figures.
Two young men who couldn't see their faces clearly and their martial arts were unbelievably high. They floated over the roof and disappeared into the wind and snow.
"I helped the doctor solve a problem, can it be counted as a favor that the doctor owes me?"
Meng Qi's voice was still very clear in the howling cold wind, his right hand was behind his back, and his expression was leisurely.
Mo Li didn't agree with him, and vetoed it: "Anyone can do the thing of blowing out the lantern, so it's not a big help."
Then he heard a soft laugh, and was inexplicably startled in his heart.
"...This doctor, it's not a good habit to avoid the important and take the light. The only masters around Ma County are Xue Ting and Qin Lu, but they don't have the youthful appearance of you and me. Now there are two unknown masters, Shui If you get confused, the investigator's train of thought will be disturbed... What I'm talking about is that you let that Liu Qianshi see the suspicious person in the mansion with his own eyes. If there is no me, and you are alone, it will be easy for others to think of you Your true identity. No matter how capable you are, you can’t be separated into two.”
Mo Li said calmly: "At that time, the sky was dark and the lanterns were extinguished. Although there was a glimmer of light reflected by the snow, they suddenly fell from the light into darkness. Liu Qian is an ordinary person, how can he see them?" Clear your and my figure?"
"But the ordinary person you mentioned avoided accidental injuries from all the soldiers in the dark."
Meng Qi followed behind Mo Li, unhurriedly, his voice gradually became hoarse, "Those who have eaten the treasures of heaven, material and earth will get some benefits, and being able to see things in the dark is one of them. "
Mo Li instinctively stopped and stared at Meng Qi.
It really wasn't an illusion, something was wrong with Meng Qi, the temperament between his brows changed, and there was a sarcastic smile on his lips.
"Meng Qi?"
Mo Li tentatively called out, and the latter raised his eyebrows. Although he was still dressed in a toga with long sleeves and jade hairpins, he was no longer noble and clean. , he said arrogantly: "You are the doctor 'I' found? It's ridiculous, I'm not sick."
"..."
Doctor Mo thought with a blank face, it really is a difficult patient.
For a while, he chased himself and asked for medical treatment, and for a while, he shy away from the doctor and refused to admit it.
According to the handbook written down by Mr. Qin back then, this disease is unknown, and it can barely be regarded as a kind of dementia disease. The cause of the disease is great compassion or great joy.Patients often have two mentalities in dealing with people. The difference is mainly in how they treat external objects, but there is no difference in how they treat themselves. They will not think that they are a fisherman one moment and a singer the next.Those who are mildly ill remember their abnormal actions; those who are severe have blurred memory and do not admit that they have been abnormal.
It is an intractable disease and is very difficult to treat.When Qin Lu was traveling around the world, he met twice. He used the same prescription and tried his best to treat him, but the results were different.
Mo Li took a deep look at Meng Qi, and asked tentatively, "Are you very interested in elixir?"
"Is there any good thing that grows naturally, who is not interested?" Although Meng Qi was laughing, his tone was indescribably cold, "People in this world want to live forever and be in harmony with the sky, and want to change their tendons. The marrow adds a lot of skill... Ha, even the poor and ignorant mountain people want to dig up a elixir, so that they can be sold for money."
Although the ink carp doesn't like humans digging for elixir, they also know that those spiritual herbs are nothing but dead things in the eyes of humans.
—— Chickens and ducks can crow, cows and horses can run, but plants and trees cannot speak or move, so they can only suffer from this great loss.
"Liu Chang did take the elixir, it should be a coincidence." Mo Li said this, but in fact he still felt heartbroken.
"Of course it's a coincidence... If he had taken the elixir I planted, he would be decapitated now." Meng Qi's eyes were filled with killing intent, and Mo Li took a step back out of vigilance, causing him to burst into laughter , walked away.
Doctor Mo looked at the direction Meng Qi was leaving, and he was sure it was not Zhushan County, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
He reached out and took out the bamboo messenger tube that he found from the skinny man just now, and opened it carefully.
This kind of bamboo tube is tied to the pigeon's leg. It is called a bamboo tube, rather it is a thin and small bamboo tube. The things that can be put in it are also very limited, usually a note that is less than the width of a finger belly.
"Zhushan County, Qin Lu... the former orphan of Chu?"
Mo Li understood the meaning of the first two words, that is, the skinny man reported the news that the mysterious gourd doctor had appeared in Zhushan County, but the last word...
The current state name is Qi, and the former state name is Chu.
Since it is described as "the orphan of the former Chu", it is probably a descendant of the royal family of the former dynasty, so is it suspected that Xiao Tang is of the blood of the former dynasty?Mo Li couldn't believe it, this thing is just nonsense, not to mention that most of the clansmen of the previous dynasty were strangled in the palace city of Xianyang, the capital of Taijing, and some others ruled in the south of the Yangtze River, and they were all hundreds of thousands of miles away from Pingzhou. Tang is not even ten years old this year, and it has been 15 years since the previous dynasty perished. Isn't this a charge of treason for no reason?
With a sullen face, the ink carp shook the bamboo tube and the paper into powder.
"Otherwise, why don't you go back and ask?"
The sudden sound made the ink carp almost strike with a knife in shock.
He stared at Meng Qi who was standing not far behind him, and the other party looked calm and leisurely again, thinking that needless to say, a certain person was about halfway to seek medical treatment, and ran back briskly.
Meng Qi didn't show any embarrassment, and admitted frankly: "I'm sorry, you took too long to meditate on the note, and I happened to see the content on it. Since the matter is related to the mysterious doctor Xuanhu, why don't you ask him himself."
Mo carp did not speak.
"Don't be so nervous, actually I came back because I saw an unexpected visitor." Meng Qi gestured to Mo Li, signaling him to listen.
There was the sound of horseshoes coming from far and near, and they were rushing towards the house.
——Liu Chang is still in that house.
With so many people dead, things got bigger.
Mrs. Xue's wish to send Liu Chang far away is likely to come to nothing. Such a murder case will definitely alarm the county government.
