wife and king

Xu Songming glanced out, suppressed his voice again and again, and said in a low voice: "After careful investigation by the dark guards, the owner of this coffin shop is a retired Jianghu person who is good at disguise and clever methods. Unable to recognize his disguise."

The corner of Yan Cangling's mouth twitched. Although he possesses martial arts and disguise techniques, he is not from the Jianghu after all, and he doesn't understand these brilliant disguise techniques.

"continue."

Xu Songming continued: "Someone has checked, this person applied to the institute on May [-]th, and went out pushing a coffin. When he returned, it was the first day of June, and he also came back pushing a coffin. A certain person once asked someone around him, and said that this person is eccentric. When the coffin cannot be sold in the city, he will push the coffin to a nearby town for sale. If it cannot be sold, the coffin will be pushed back to the city again. It is very rare to buy and sell coffins, so someone guesses whether there is a possibility that this person is using the buying and selling of coffins to cover up, but he is actually doing some evil deeds of human trafficking. People. Maybe he also relied on this method at that time to send the young master to the city, sell him into Pinfang Pavilion, and then leave Pinfang Pavilion in disguise, so that we have never been able to find him."

Yan Cangling frowned deeply: "Your analysis is very reasonable. But it will take more than half a month to travel from the capital to Fangcheng, and this person went out on May [-]th and returned on the first day of June. How could he There is enough time to travel between the two places and send Jing Han from Beijing to Fangcheng."

"Then there is only one possibility," Xu Songming said solemnly, "outside the city, there are other people trading with him."

Yan Cangling nodded approvingly and said, "That's right, that's the only possibility. Have you found out who he bought and sold with?"

"No." Xu Songming said regretfully, "but judging from the fact that this shop owner is good at disguise and often pushes coffins in and out of the city, he is indeed the one who is most likely to transport the young master into the city."

"Well," Yan Cangling pondered for a moment, then asked back, "Since this person is from the rivers and lakes, how about his martial arts?"

Xu Songming continued: "This person's martial arts don't seem to be very high. The secret guards followed him for several days, but he didn't find him. Some people think that it's because of his low martial arts that he can work hard on disguise." .”

"That's not necessarily the case," Yan Cangling's brows sank deeply, "Some killers, in order to successfully infiltrate the target's home, are very skilled at disguise."

"Hiss," Xu Songming, a scholar in the world, didn't know the reason behind this, he gasped after hearing this, and anxiety escaped from his usually calm face, "My lord, isn't that so-and-so..."

"Don't worry, if that person really found out about the hidden guard, he would have made a move a long time ago," Yan Cangling waved his hand, "You know what kind of temperament that person is."

Xu Songming was speechless for a while, then shook his head and said: "I don't know, I heard the secret guard said that this person has a weird temper, and the weather is unpredictable. The prince will go later, so we have to be careful."

"Well," Yan Cangling went through all possible methods in his mind, pulled Xu Songming's ear to his own mouth, and muttered his own countermeasures in a low voice.

"My lord, can this be done." Xu Songming frowned worriedly, "I'm afraid..."

"I can't help it," Yan Cangling showed a hint of helplessness on his face, "We have to test this person first, and then slowly get out about Jing Han from him, otherwise we won't be able to investigate further if we push people into a hurry."

"Forget it, then let's go." Xu Songming nodded, looked at each other with Yan Cangling, and left one after the other.

Guided by Xu Songming, Yan Cangling walked through a dark alley and entered a remote corner at the end.The footsteps stopped for a while, and what came into the nose was a decadent smell, a little sour and a little foul, all kinds of weird smells mixed together, making people sick.

The coffin shop in front of it, with the door closed, is not too big. Considering the length of the coffins, there are only about three coffins in length. Above the shop door, there is a wooden plaque hanging crookedly, with three large characters written in flying and phoenix dances on it. : coffin shop.When Yan Cangling saw it, he was stunned for a long time. If someone else's coffin shop talked about it, it would be filled with so-and-so's name, and so-and-so remembered a few words, so that the guests could remember the name of the shop.This shop is fine, so I frankly omitted those words and didn't care.

Xu Songming whispered softly: "Master, this is the place."

At just the right time, the sun was covered by floating clouds, and only sporadic light fell indistinctly, hitting the shop door, and even a little bit of darkness couldn't make it fade away.

Yan Cangling raised his chin: "Knock on the door."

Xu Songming did as he did, and only heard the sound of knocking on the door circling along the long, empty road. It was so silent that he couldn't even hear any noise. After about half a stick of incense, there was finally a slight movement inside the door.Yan Cangling poured his inner strength into his ears, and listened, only to hear the rhythmic sound of duk duk piercing through the ground and vibrating into his heart, the sound was indistinct and indistinct, like a bell stuffed in a cage, which is clearly close to the ear, but can't be heard true.

Yan Cangling also couldn't hear what the sound was. He exchanged a glance with Xu Songming and took a few steps back together. At the same time, Yan Cangling also gave his gaze to the hidden guards who were hiding in all directions, telling them to wait for the opportunity to make a move.

"Who is it?" An unfamiliar voice cut into the air slowly, and it was clear that it was sunny, but Yan Cangling felt a wave of fear.

Gein's voice is very weird, once it comes out, it will crawl into your ears like thousands of ants and insects, making your whole body numb and trembling, if you add a question to this voice, it will be like a dying bird rats, screaming in your ears.

Xu Songming also had a chill, he was pushed back a few steps by Yan Cangling who didn't know martial arts, and stood behind Yan Cangling.

Yan Cangling pursed his thin lips tightly, brushed away the goosebumps growing on his body, and said in a trembling voice, "Open the door!"

"Who are you? Why should I prescribe it to you."

The voice from the door caused everyone to shudder again. Yan Cangling held back the discomfort welling up in his body, and said with a heavy face, "It doesn't matter who I am. Could it be that you don't want to do business anymore?"

"Business?" The people inside seemed to be interested, and their voices were raised several times. The sharp voice was like a drake that was strangled and screaming, hoarse and unpleasant.When the man's voice fell, the closed door creaked and opened, revealing the face of the person inside.

Although he had roughly known the shop owner's appearance from the secret guard, Yan Cangling was still taken aback when he saw him.I saw that this person was about forty years old, skinny as a stick, his yellow waxy skin was wrapped around his bones, it was almost impossible to tell where were the eyes and where were the lips, if not for the sunken pupils that still shone a little, Yan Cangling Everyone thought it was a mummy in front of them.

Yan Cangling snorted, raised his head pretentiously, and pointed his nose at the shorter man in front of him: "Are you the owner of this coffin shop?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, we're talking about business, not human identity." These words returned what Yan Cangling said just now, intact.

Yan Cangling's complexion was a little dark, and his high head was lowered slowly: "You dare to talk to this king like this, you are quite courageous."

"My lord?" The shop owner squinted his eyes, hung his withered neck that was only a layer of skin, and turned to Yan Cangling, "Which heavenly king are you, you dare to call yourself my lord, bah!"

After Yan Cangling was spat on in this way, his expression became a little uneasy, his voice sank, and he asked: "Then what are you, dare to insult me."

"Bah! So what if you're just bah!" The shopkeeper spat again, waved his hand and said, "Since the prince is here to find fault, please go ahead, I can't afford to serve you."

"Finding faults?" Yan Cangling shuddered and said with a sneer, "This king is indeed here to find faults!" With a bang, he kicked the shopkeeper's door to close it, and the internal force he mustered went to the shopkeeper's door along the toes. The hands on the top rushed away.

The shop owner froze, let go of his hand quickly, and took a few steps back, narrowly avoiding the heavy blow.

Between kicking and dodging, the two parties passed a move and had a rough estimate of the opponent's ability.

The corners of Yan Cangling's mouth curled up in triumph, and he could see just now that the shop owner dodged extremely fast and his movements were nimble, but his hands were trembling after being shaken, it can be seen that although the lightness kung fu is not bad, the martial arts are as good as Xu Songming's That's not too much to say.In this way, it will be much easier to handle.

"I don't want to embarrass you either." Yan Cangling walked into the shop door slowly, swept around, and brushed his sleeves calmly, "If you honestly hand over my things, I will spare your life. If you don’t hand it over, I’m not in a hurry, I have plenty of free time to spend with you. Look, you ran away first, or I caught you first.”

The shopkeeper's eyes slid around in all directions, and he clearly couldn't see anyone, but he could feel a strong coercion approaching him. He took a deep breath, yelled again, and said loudly: "By relying on one's ability, bullying others is considered very capable."

"Hmph!" Yan Cangling nodded angrily, "It's reasonable for you to take away my king's things!"

The shop owner seemed to be frightened by Yan Cangling's aura, he caressed his heart indiscriminately, and his voice softened: "It's only the first time I've met you, why have I ever taken anything from you, you...don't spit blood!" The master just spat at Yan Cangling in arrogance, but now he softened again. This temper is really as Xu Songming said, cloudy and sunny, and weird.

"Whether this king spouts blood, you know it well!" Yan Cangling took a step forward and said aggressively, "A few months ago, this king contacted someone privately to buy a coffin, and it was arranged to deliver it to my mansion on the first day of June. Come on, but this coffin was not delivered, and you snatched it! What crime should you have for robbing me of this king's property!"

The shop owner was stunned. The so-called thing he took away was just a coffin? !
