Lu Hua Zhi You Feng Lin Lou

The Little Beggar Gang is in the south of the city, where there are mixed fish and dragons of all kinds, hiding their secrets and living passionately and darkly.

Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou came here early in the morning, they would not be so stupid as to look for it by themselves, they just dragged two little beggars from the street, gave them two silver ingots, and they ran errands briskly.

"Actually, I've always been curious. The annual income of the beggar gang should be quite a lot, so why does Jin Queyi still dress up like a poor man?" During the waiting process, the two stood in front of a stall to buy breakfast and talked.

Jin Queyi is the leader of the beggar gang, and there is a reason for this name. It is said that the old leader likes to play mahjong the most, but in his life, no disciples are willing to accompany him to do this kind of thing to kill time. Three missing one.And he always took in a new apprentice, who loves mahjong like him and becomes obsessed. Since he joined the beggars' gang, there has been no time when three people are missing, and it just fills the vacancy, so the old gang leader will give him a gift whenever he is happy. He got the name he lacked, and even accepted him as a closed disciple.

"It's probably a personal preference." Hua Manlou rubbed his belly, absent-mindedly said.

Lu Xiaofeng naturally saw his movements: "What's the matter? Are you hungry?" He went back to the Luoque Inn last night, and the two met at the corner of the street, so he didn't know if Hua Manlou had breakfast.

"I probably ate it." Hua Manlou's expression flashed a little weird.

......

Lu Xiaofeng was amused by him, there is still some talk about whether he ate breakfast or not. "What's wrong with you, didn't you sleep well last night?"

It was fine if he didn't ask this question, but when he asked, the gunpowder thread was ignited, Hua Qishao's face turned red, and then sank down, his usual soft voice was also tinged with anger, and seemed to be slightly flustered: " Forget it, I have to go back first, you can do things here alone!"

Leave as soon as you say, without taking a trace of the west wind with you.

Lu Xiaofeng stared blankly in the cold wind with his mouth slightly open—what kind of temper tantrum did he suddenly have?

But he didn't have time to chase after them, the little beggars just now had returned, and it seemed that he had found the place where the leader of the little beggar gang lived.He had no choice but to solve this problem first, and then ask what happened after the two broke up yesterday after he went back.

Could it be that his elder brother scolded him?It's not surprising that his thin skin will become like this if he is scolded for his affairs in the Wu Mansion.

With such confusion and worry, Lu Xiaofeng followed the two little beggars into the winding and busy alley in the south of the city.

Hua Manlou did not go back to Hua Mansion, but went to Shuntian Mansion. Today is the first day of the amnesty. Mr. Hong should be in the yamen, just to tell him what happened during these times, after all, although they are good at solving cases , but because it involves the court, they may not be clear about the stakes in it, so it is better to ask Mr. Hong for reference.

Sure enough, when he went to the yamen, Mr. Hong was talking with Piao Wu.

"Why did you come here? Didn't you go to check on the little beggar's gang?" Bandit Wu saw him coming in and asked puzzledly.

Hua Manlou responded casually: "Brother Lu has gone, he should be alone." Hua Qishao, who is not good at lying, said with a light tone and slightly averted eyes, as if telling others that we had a quarrel.

Although there was no quarrel in this fight, it was purely him who was struggling with it alone.

Piao Wu didn't ask any more questions, although he and Lu Xiaofeng were used to walking in and out together, but the two were not conjoined twins, so there was no need for them to stay together all the time.What's more, this is a entanglement between the two of them. With his temper and personality, he naturally doesn't care about such family matters.

"By the way, Shibo, has the prisoner named Qiu Ningfu been released?" Hua Qishao tried to change the topic to cover up his abnormality.I knew I wouldn't come out today, but I didn't want to be pestered by my elder brother to ask about that matter—oh, it turns out that talking about love is really an embarrassing thing.

Hong Jie didn't know the love and hatred of these juniors. After being tired for several days, he heard about Xiu Nu's murder as soon as he came out. His old heart was about to be broken. He waved his hands and said, "No? , but it’s only been a few days.”

Hua Manlou nodded, and said suspiciously: "If he is a spy sent by the King of Han, wouldn't anyone come to rescue him in the past few years?"

"Rescue?" Hong Jiefan hid his head under the official hat, stroked his beard, and a sly look flashed across his clean and honest face, "It would be great if they came to rescue him."

Now that King Han and King Zhao are powerful, and the emperor is still young, although there are ministers such as Huamanshe Hongjie in the court to assist, it is imperative to cut down the vassal.If Zhu Xu, king of the Han Dynasty, really took action for this fallen chess piece, it would just give the court a chance to crusade.But although Zhu Xu was arrogant and impatient, one of his military advisers had some real talent, so he could see through the emperor's real purpose of deliberately disclosing the news of the Ministry of War to Qiu Ningfu and sending him to prison.Even after waiting for two years, there was no movement from the other party.

"Then let the tiger go back to the mountain this time, can Shi Bo arrange it?" Hua Manlou thought for a while and understood the key point.

Bandit Wu said from the side: "No matter how good the arrangement is, it can only work near the capital. Once we return to the fief, we will not be able to see what the other party wants to do."

The so-called beyond reach is true.

The three of them were talking, when suddenly the Yamen came to report that something happened in the prison.

Hong Jie thumped his waist and sighed—he really didn't make people worry for a while!

The prison in Shuntian Mansion is the most "luxury" in the whole capital. It is said that it is the credit of the previous Governor of Shuntian Mansion. He argued with the emperor that any prisoner has human rights. The disobedient remonstrances made Emperor Taizong unbearable to be disturbed and pity him, so he had no choice but to let him overhaul the Shuntian Mansion. All the prison cells were built with bricks and tiles, and they were clean. With the use of lynching, some prisoners who behaved well may have the opportunity to be taken to the streets in their spare time.Although it sounds outrageous, it is said that during his tenure as governor, all the prisoners were obedient and devoted to reforming, and there was no escape incident.

But now the cell in front of Yin Hong is not clean at all.

On the bed with a straw mattress against the wall, a dead body was sitting obliquely with its back facing the prison door, its legs were curled up, its head was drooping, but there was a large pool of blood in front of it, which spread all the way to the bottom of the bed, and it seemed that it had not yet solidified. The cell was filled with a strong smell of blood.

"What's going on?" Hong Jie was so angry that his beard jumped up and down.

The prisoner in this cell is none other than Qiu Ningfu, who has caused them a lot of headaches these days.

Now that he died suddenly, no one at the scene breathed a sigh of relief, especially Hongfu Yin, who immediately ordered the officials to isolate the scene, and the prisoners in the next cell were temporarily detained elsewhere, and their release was suspended. Can't let the word out here.

Shuntian Prefecture's famous Jiao Fuzuo came over quickly, and the yamen servants took Qiu Ningfu's body down, raised his head and saw a wound on his neck the size of a teacup, no wonder he was bleeding so much.

Although Hua Manlou usually likes to be tidy, he is not a clean freak like Ximen Chuuxue, so he also stood in the cell together and listened to Jiao Yuzuo's description of the condition of the corpse.After inspecting the wound on the neck, Jiao Wuzuo ordered the body to be turned around. Hua Manlou felt that something suddenly fell on his foot. It was very light, but with his keen sense of touch, he could feel it naturally. It was a slightly curled dead leaf. He put it on his nose and sniffed it, frowned, and then quietly put the thing back into his sleeve.

Others were too busy examining the body and the scene to pay attention to him.Only Bandit Wu took a look, but didn't speak.

"The wound on the neck is a fatal wound. There are no wounds on other parts of the body for the time being, and there is no trace of movement and bending after death. The wound on the neck is round, and there are many small and thin wounds around it, so the murder weapon should be barbed wire. Something like that." Jiao Yuzuo read it carefully.

The police also searched the cell, not to mention what he said, there was not even anything that could hurt people.

"Has anyone been here before?" Hong Jie asked the guarding jailer.

"Returning to the adults, the prisoners have been released in batches these days. Some family members of the prisoners can't wait and come to see them every day, so there are many people. As for whether they have entered this cell, the villain can't tell. .”

Although the jailer was afraid, his order was very clear, which shows that Hong Fu Yin usually governs well.

Hong Jie worked in the prison for a few days, so he knew their hard work, so he couldn't blame them, so he had to order them to check one by one, trying to find out who passed by here to visit the prison.

Daowu walked up to Huamanlou, and asked him in a low voice, "Is there anything I can help you with?" I just saw the scene where Huamanlou picked up the dead leaves, and I can probably guess that he might have some clues, but he didn't know what to do. It's not good to tell Mr. Hong before finding out.

Hua Manlou was thinking about his own thoughts, when he heard the words, he was a little dazed, he thought it was Lu Xiaofeng who was asking himself.Hearing that it was Piouwu's voice, he blushed slightly, shook his fan before saying, "I want to see the corpse."

Bandit Wu took him to the corpse and handed him a pair of gloves.

"Let me see the wound on his neck." After all, he couldn't see, so he could only ask Bandit Wu to help.

Although the head catcher usually has an unfriendly and fierce face, he is quite docile as long as he is to solve the case, so he took Hua Manlou's hand and placed it on the wound on the corpse's neck.

Hua Manlou touched it, and found that it was indeed as Jiao Wuzuo said, the wound was round, and there were small wounds around it. It was indeed the trace of a barbed iron ball piercing into it, but after touching it, he felt something was wrong. The barbed wire terrier bone was hit head-on, so once it loses its strength and falls, the opponent should not be in a cross-legged posture, and this wound seems to be hit from top to bottom, and it seems that the flesh and blood are all turned out, even those wounds There are two marks on the fine wounds, and it feels like they are hit from a place lower than where the corpse was placed, and then quickly retracted to cause such wounds.What is even more puzzling is that the corpse is sitting facing another wall, which is far away from the prison door. Why did the murderer walk in and stand on the opposite side before attacking?

What's more, the strength and speed of hitting Iron Guduo in such a narrow prison cell can only be achieved by a master who has reached the level of internal strength and can use it freely, or like Lu Xiaofeng, who has extremely strong hands.There are many sects in the Jianghu in the capital, and there are many masters, but what master can be related to Qiu Ningfu?

"Biao Wu, help me take a look, is there any special marks on the opposite wall?" He took off his gloves and stood up, facing Pi Wu.

Pi Wu saw that his hand was wandering around the wound, and also saw something strange, and immediately understood what he meant, walked over to the bricks and stones and touched the opposite wall, but the first time was fruitless, until he persisted. On the second pass, it was discovered that there seemed to be some dry slurry on the outside of a masonry.He immediately asked Huamanlou to watch.

Hua Manlou picked out a piece, felt it and smelled it, and then looked at Pi Wu: "It seems to be glutinous rice and lime."

These two things are used for bonding when people build houses. Robo Wu stretched out his right palm and put it on the brick. As soon as his internal force was released, a whole brick fell out with a bang, revealing a [-]-meter long brick. There is a small hole about ten centimeters wide, and there are traces of sharp objects around it. It is obvious that someone pried the brick off first, and then glued it back.

"Where is the back?" Hua Manlou was naturally less familiar with the capital than Pi Wu.

Piou Wu's face was very gloomy: "The back door of the God Detective Division."

Hua Manlou nodded slightly, but fell silent. He probably knew who the murderer was.But this person, why did he take such a big risk to do this?

When Lu Xiaofeng relied on his sharp tongue, first made peace talks, then threatened, and finally reached a secret agreement with the leader of the Little Beggars' Gang, after he came back, he was quite surprised to hear that Qiu Ningfu was killed.

Well!He tried his best here to hide the matter of Xiu Nu from the little emperor, but the King of Han made such a fuss again.At this juncture of amnesty, once Qiu Ningfu died, no matter whether it was the emperor's hand or not, anyone with a heart would put this hat on.

The ancients said it well, lest the world will not be chaotic, there are such idle and painful people in this world.It's not good for oneself, it's not good for him, so I just want to do a few things for fun.

However, this Qiu Ningfu was also unlucky all his life, not to mention choosing the wrong master, he was imprisoned for several years and finally waited for an amnesty, and then he died again. The king of Hades told you to die in the third watch, and you are guaranteed not to live in the fifth watch. Fate!

"How is it?" Bandit Wuzheng and Hua Manlou stood in the hall, seeing Lu Xiaofeng come in with a bitter face, they thought it would be impossible.After all, everyone is a gangster, especially a gang like them that relies on doing business for a living, the word "loyalty" is very important.

"The beggar gang didn't withdraw, but they knew what to do. And I have asked Sikong to change the rouge." Lu Xiaofeng glanced at Huamanlou first, and saw that he still didn't look at him, with a look of restraint on his face , My heart beats like a drum-what happened? !

"He's alright?" Bandit Wushen didn't change his expression.

"Who?" Lu Xiaofeng deliberately teased him.

The chief catcher doesn't like this: "Leave the matter here to you and Qi Shao, I'll go out for a while." Love to talk or not, why don't I go and see by myself?Then he really dropped the pick and left, not treating the two of Lu Hua as outsiders at all.

"Huh?" Lu Xiaofeng was so angry that he wanted to laugh, and walked over to talk to Hua Manlou, "Tell me about each one of us, they use the two of us as free labor, and we didn't get a penny from the court, but we did it. There are more officials than them."

"Aren't you very happy?" Hua Manlou covered half of his face with a teacup, and his voice sounded vague, "Besides, you are not short of money."

"That's what I said, but I haven't gambled for quite a while, and money is really tight." Lu Xiaofeng squeezed his paw, itching and itching.

Hua Manlou didn't pick it up, put down his teacup and stood up, lowered his eyes and said, "You just came back to rest for a while, I'll go to the back to see Ping An and De'an." Then he walked towards the door.

"The building is full of flowers!"

Unsurprisingly, he walked to the door and was stopped. He clenched the folding fan tightly in his hand, and his face turned reddish again at some point.

"What's the matter with you?" Lu Xiaofeng walked over and turned him around, grabbed his arm and looked at him intently, "I've been at odds with me since morning, it was because you got angry last night, or your elder brother went back and scolded you. …”

Hua Manlou twisted her arms to break away from his hand before he finished speaking, and took a few steps back to avoid it, as if she didn't want to be touched by him.

Master Lu's heart suddenly ached.

Nima, it hurts so much, it’s like being out of breath—to be rejected, this was his first thought, and then there was nothing after that, because his mind was blank, only the flashes of Huamanlou’s rejection just now kept flashing. his fragments.

"I...I'll go first!" Hua Qishao couldn't see his face, and didn't look up at all, and fled in a hurry like avoiding a scourge.

Nima, he was almost suffocating from the pain, Master Lu was still stretching his hands stiffly in a hugging gesture, but there was only thin and cold air in front of him.

Give me a kiss and give me a knife, you will be so heartbroken and still willing, Hua Qishao, you are always a master in the field of love!
