Murder

Chapter 52 Snake Man

Zhuo Yong is the person in charge of patrolling the pier, and he was transferred back to the Shaoyi League not long ago.Lin Shaoyi had an impression of him, because this young man's appearance was so romantic and handsome that he was rarely seen in the Shaoyi League.

"Did you go to Chunyan Building? He seems to have a girlfriend there." Li Yijin said.

"Okay, let's go ask."

After the disciple left, Ah Jia spoke from the side.

"Zhuo Yong didn't go to Chunyan Building."

Lin Shaoyi turned his head to look at the young man with a playful expression: "Ah Jia, do you also know about Chunyan Tower?"

"Didn't the lord take us there before? How could he not know?" Ajia didn't change his face, "I met Zhuo Yong once or twice when I went there for business. He seemed to be going to Chunyan Building, but he always went around Go through the small alley next to the Chunyan Tower and go straight to the depths."

"What's behind the Chunyan Building?" Li Yijin asked.Although he has returned to Shaoyi League, he is still not familiar with certain places in Shifang City.

"It may be the poorest place in Shifang City." Ajia said, "That place is called Dong Caishi, but there is no vegetable market for a long time, and the people who live there are all doing the hardest and most tiring work in Shifang City. people."

"Does Zhuo Yong have a family?" Li Yijin asked Lin Shaoyi.

Lin Shaoyi shook his head: "No, he originally worked on a fleet on the Yulan River, and later joined the Shaoyi League with the fleet. He is a bachelor who can feed the whole family without hunger."

Ah Yi also came up and reached for the pastries in the four-color small plate on the table.

"Maybe Zhuo Yong is fascinated by the flower essence." He said.

In the past six months, three sons of wealthy families died in Shifang City.These three young masters are all handsome, suave and romantic figures, but all of them died in a miserable state. "Didn't Master Xie's son be found in the ditch in the west of the city before? He was naked, with signs of being tied up on his hands and feet."

"What is flower essence?" Lin Shaoyi asked curiously.

Seeing that Ah B had eaten, Ah Jia also hurried over, picking up the pastry and stuffing it into his mouth very naturally.

"Hua Jing is a beautiful fairy. It is said that she likes good-looking young masters the most, and she specializes in seducing such people on the road. Mr. Xie, as well as the former Mr. Chen and Mr. Liu, seem to be..." Ah Jia lowered her voice He made a voice, mysteriously, "...the one who died from exhaustion."

Lin Shaoyi: "...Can you listen to less inconsequential stories?"

Li Yijin: "It can't be out of tune. Sometimes these rumors may contain the truth."

Lin Shaoyi snorted: "I don't think so."

Li Yijin smiled when she heard the words: "The two of them are also kind, this is to remind the leader not to be seduced by the coquettish women on the side of the road when he goes out at night."

Lin Shaoyi turned his head and looked him up and down: "Me? Why do I think you need to be more vigilant?"

Ah Jia and Ah Yi: "The leader is right! The leader is really powerful!"

After finishing speaking, he clapped wildly amidst Lin Shaoyi's low voice from embarrassment.

Zhuo Yong didn't see him this time, but it was very different from the time when he didn't return to the alliance at night and wandered around the fireworks alley.

More than ten days have passed, and he has disappeared without a trace.

Lin Shaoyi knew it was not good, and immediately asked Li Yijin to arrange for someone to look for it.But by this time, too much time has passed, and there is very little useful news.

It's just that someone did see Zhuo Yong walking towards Chunyan Building before he lost his trace.

Chunyanlou is the largest brothel in Shifang City.After Shifang City was severely damaged by the fire, the business in the area of ​​Chunyan Building was the first to recover. It made people admire the amazing attractiveness of Hongxiu Ruanxiang.Li Yijin personally took people to Chunyan Building to investigate and inquire, but they didn't ask anything useful.

Qingyun of Chunyan Tower had a dewy relationship with Zhuo Yong, but Zhuo Yong was generous in his actions, behaved politely, and never caused any trouble in Chunyan Tower.Before Zhuo Yong disappeared, Qingyun hadn't seen him for several months.

Zhuoyong's clothes, money and silver, Shaoyimeng badges and necessary documents for traveling are all placed in Shaoyimeng, and they were not taken away, so it does not seem to be fleeing or eloping.

Behind the Chunyan Building is the inner river surrounding the city, and after crossing the inner river is the Dongcai Market.The product flow in Dongcai Market is complicated, and Li Yijin can only stop here.

This strange disappearance only left a lot of confusion in the hearts of the Shaoyi League gang members.Zhuo Yong's martial arts are mediocre, he doesn't touch secrets, and he is not a rich man.His disappearance is irrelevant, but Lin Shaoyi will often think of it in his heart, and it has become a knot that bothers him.

Li Yijin suggested to him: "If we can't find it, why not report to the officials."

"We can't find it, and the reporter can't find it." Lin Shaoyi disagreed, "Monk, I'll go to my father to talk, and you can pick some people back. You need to keep looking, but it doesn't need to spend so much Manned."

The typhoon has passed, and Pengyang was hit by strong winds directly, causing heavy losses.

Ah Si and Sima Feng were eating pear soup made by Shuanghua in Qinshuangyuan.

"It's too sweet." Sima Feng took a bite and frowned.

"Neither sweet nor sweet." Ah Si blurted out, and quickly changed his words, "Moderate, moderate."

Shuanghua wiped her qin beside her, and couldn't help laughing and said, "Ah Si is always the one who gives me the most face."

Ah Si nodded repeatedly, smiling very silly.

Sima Feng simply pushed the bowl in front of him to Ah Si, and started talking about serious matters with Shuanghua.

It has been half a month since Sima Liangren told them about Shenying Policy.After Shuanghua came from Qinshuangyuan that day, Sima Feng and Ah Si knew that Shuanghua was an informant of Sima Liangren, and her most important task was to keep an eye on King Lu.

The current King Lu is the son of the old King Lu, a real idle prince.He has no power but has money, and lives a very leisurely life.

King Lu liked Shuanghua very much, and liked to listen to her playing the piano. After listening to the piano for a long time, he would talk to Shuanghua about other things.Although Shuanghua kept staring at him, he didn't find anything worth noting.

Sima Liangren asked Sima Feng to pay attention to Ying Beishe's movements, and once Chi Yebai came back from the island, he would go to him immediately.Sima Feng was worried about Fu Guqing, but Sima Liangren said that he only needed to pay attention to Ying Beishe, and Sima Liangren would mediate and resolve other issues.Chi Yebai never came back, so he often brought Ah Si to look for Shuanghua, wanting to inquire about the affairs of Prince Lu's residence.

Although Shuanghua often went to Prince Lu's mansion, she was guided by the mansion's servants when she went in and out, so she must not wander around indiscriminately.Although King Lu liked her, he behaved very gentlemanly, and never involved the court in his speech.Because Wen Xuanzhou would occasionally go back to King Lu's mansion to have a drink with King Lu and talk about the past, Shuanghua also met him once or twice.She remembered that he was a person who didn't talk too much, personable, decent and polite, even when facing a firework girl like her, he always treated him with courtesy.

Unable to find any more information, Sima Feng and Ah Si became boring guests who came to Qinshuangyuan to eat sugar water.

"Tonight is fifteen, will King Lu invite you over?"

"Well, the posts have been delivered yesterday, and the tunes have been ordered." Shuanghua smiled, "King Lu's requirements are getting higher and higher, if I don't practice the piano well, I won't have the chance to go to his house again. "

"Don't act rashly." Sima Feng warned, "Everything will be fine as usual."

Shuanghua didn't know why Sima Feng and his son wanted to keep an eye on King Lu, she nodded in agreement, and only said that she would be more careful, and if she saw Wen Xuanzhou again, she would definitely pay attention.

After Ah Si finished eating Sima Feng's pear soup, the two wiped their mouths and said goodbye.On the way back, Sima Feng asked him if he liked Shuanghua very much.

Ah Si blushed immediately: "You can't talk nonsense!"

Sima Feng: "Does that mean you don't like it?"

Ah Si: "No dislike..."

Sima Feng: "That's why I like it."

Ah Si twitched: "I'm half a year younger than him. Would she like a man younger than herself?"

Sima Feng: "...you even figured out this!"

He walked a few steps, turned his head and said fiercely: "Until the matter between me and Xiaobai is resolved, you can't get close to Shuanghua."

Ah Si: "...It's not close at all. Miss Shuanghua only regards me as your little follower now, and there is no other meaning. But if you and Master Chi can't solve the problem, what does it have to do with me? ?”

"If you can't, you can't, so I won't be upset." Sima Feng said decisively, "I am your young master, so you have to listen to me."

Ah Si: "Young master, if you are like this, Master Chi won't like you."

After saying that, he immediately jumped on the roof and ran away.

Sima Feng was not very angry.He knew that Chi Yebai had him in his heart, this fact was far more powerful than any words.It's just that Chi Yebai's attitude always confuses him.

Walking home, when passing by Gan Le's yard, he heard a lot of noise inside.

"You can't put it in if you haven't baked it for half an hour!"

"Enough."

"It's right to have three parts of spring glow in the bones!"

"It's panning."

Sima Feng walked into the yard and happened to see Song Beiyan fish out an arm bone from a pot of green water with long chopsticks: "Brother Gan, what is the three-point spring glow?"

The bone was dripping with juice, the bone body was crimson in color, and half of the pale tendons were still attached to it.

Sima Feng was surprised to see Bian Jiang sitting next to the pot, carefully stirring the liquid inside.

"Quick, what are you doing here?"

Bian Jiang replied very cheerfully: "I study crafts with Gan Ling."

Sima Feng: "...Learn to cook bones? You can't drink this soup, don't be fooled by him."

Bian Jiang: "Have you ever drank?"

Sima Feng swallowed, the horrible memory of childhood caused a nausea: "Stop talking."

Gan Le took the bone and waved it wildly: "Three points! Three points! Nothing more than that. Before it cools down, put it into the water boiled with nine kinds of medicinal herbs immediately. If the bone turns blue, then It means that this person has been suffering from chronic poisoning for at least a year..."

Bian Jiang nodded, took the bone from Song Beiyan's hand, and put it into the water beside him.

As expected, a light blue color appeared on the bone immediately.

Gan Le: "..."

Frontier is always very happy: "Gan Lingshi, I was right."

Gan Lexi rubbed his eyes, turned his head and continued making medicine without saying a word.

Bian Jiang "learned art" from him here, but it just happened in the past few days.Pengyang’s gangsters were not picked up, and they ran away within a few days after coming. It coincided with the typhoon weather, and many refugees died outside the city. It was also rumored that there were murderers and robbers haunting Pengyang. Frontier wanted to check every corpse. Chaotian, so I can only come to find Gan Lexi every day.Gan was happy to have nothing to do, so he took Song Beiyan there, and when he didn't work, he just watched Song Beiyan busy.

Seeing that Song Beiyan looked as if he was about to become a teacher, Bian Jiang didn't know what he was thinking. After he was busy with these things, he came to him and wanted to learn from Gan Le.

Gan Lele doesn't want to teach him, but Song Beiyan likes the frontier very much, saying that Gan Lele doesn't want to teach him, but he can teach him.Song Beiyan is not Gan Lele's apprentice, Gan Lele can't control him, and he can't just talk nonsense while watching the half bucket of water, so he had to agree.

Sima Feng sat on a low stool to help Bian Jiang cook the concoction, and then asked Bian Jiang if he liked it.

frontier:"???"

Sima Feng: "Forget it, don't worry about me."

A pot of concoction was boiling thickly, watching Gan Yue scolding Song Beiyan, he was having fun, when Ah Si came to report that the leader of the Shaoyi League had arrived.
