The Yanmen of Zhousheng is like the old days without end of spring

The night was gloomy, and the dark sky was suddenly split open by a bolt of lightning, illuminating the entire body, and the earth was plunged into endless darkness for a moment. There was a rumbling thunder, followed by heavy raindrops pouring down.

A few figures appeared in the depths of the narrow alley, masked in black and wearing bamboo hats, looking around in the rain, as if they were looking for something.Then they got together in one place, whispered a few words, then walked to a courtyard together and slipped in.

Most of the rooms in the inn were dark, and one room in the backyard was lit by the light of an oil lamp, and a few figures wearing bamboo hats were reflected on the window paper.

"Didn't find it? You are useless!" The sound of palms slapping the desk, and the shopkeeper's distraught voice became louder.

"What a ghost, a drugged girl is expected to not run far away, but the brothers have searched all over a radius of ten miles, but they can't find anyone."

"It's impossible to run so far after being drugged. She must be hiding somewhere."

"I've searched for them all. I've searched for nearby inns and houses, even stables and chicken coops. Nothing."

"Shopkeeper, I'm afraid it's not something wrong with your drug?"

"impossible."

"That would be really strange."

"No, this woman has a complicated identity. If she runs away, maybe we will have a big mess. We must find her and get rid of her."

"Then we..."

"Then go out and look for it, even if you dig three feet into the ground, dig her out for me!"

"Yes."

The torrential rain was pouring, and the tiles on the roof were smashed by the rain to make a fine sound.

Feng Qiao slowly opened her eyes, the cold rain fell on her face, and on her body, she opened her mouth and coughed out a mouthful of rain.She tried to move her arm, the wound she had cut before was painful, and she tried to sit up, even though the heavy rain could make her sanity slightly clear, she still felt dizzy for a while.

She slowly lowered her body, watching a few black figures jump out from under the eaves and disappear into the streets.

Feng Qiao didn't leave the courtyard of the inn at all, she went out through the window, knowing that she would be unconscious and unable to run too far, so she went straight to the roof of the inn, and then she couldn't resist the drug anymore, and passed out past.

It was dark under the lamp.

The unscrupulous guys in this black shop never thought that the person they were looking for was right under their noses.

After Feng Qiao waited for the people to walk away, she hung upside down on the eaves half-hanging her body, and looked down slowly. Below was the window she had turned up. It was pitch black at the moment, but luckily the window hadn't been closed yet.

Feng Qiao jumped over the window and entered, and landed on the ground silently.Naturally, the baggage carrying banknotes disappeared. Feng Qiao grabbed her own clothes, endured the dizziness, put them on, and went out through the window again, and landed in the yard silently.

Feng Qiao's eyes fell in the brightly lit room, she pulled out the dagger between her boots, and walked over stooping.

The shopkeeper was looking at the two palm-sized tokens by the light, and the two tokens were placed side by side on the table.The shopkeeper was scratching the few beards on his chin, thinking whether to keep or destroy this thing.

Keep it, I'm afraid it will be a disaster, ruined, such a rare thing, it's a pity to ruin it.

Just as he was fascinated by it, he suddenly felt the door behind him slamming slightly, the shopkeeper suddenly turned around, and before he could say "who", a black shadow flashed in front of him, his throat felt cold, and the voice could no longer be uttered.

Blood spurted and splattered, Feng Qiao turned her head to dodge, no longer looking at the shopkeeper, swiftly put away the token on the table, rummaged to find her own baggage, the bank note was gone, but the written certificate was still there.

The shopkeeper covered his throat with his hands, blood gushed out from between his fingers, and left his body together with the temperature of his body. He looked at Feng Qiao without even looking at him, and put away her things. The shopkeeper's body slowed down. Slowly, it tilted down and fell to the ground.

The face that appeared last in sight slowly approached, its skin white as snow, and its expression indifferent.It turned out that she didn't come back to take revenge, the shopkeeper's teeth were shaking coldly due to blood loss, she looked at her eyes like an ant...

Feng Qiao squatted down, found a few ingots of silver and a few bank notes from the shopkeeper, and quickly exited the room, disappearing into the pouring rain.

In the morning after the rainstorm, the sky is blue and blue.

All traces of the bloody and shady activities hidden by the night have been washed away without a trace.

In the most prosperous part of the city, an official came to post a notice early in the morning. The market and passing pedestrians surrounded the official wall where the notice was posted, and the inner three floors and the outer three floors were completely blocked.

"The government has arrested people."

"Still a woman."

"I heard that he was an enemy spy. Last night, he wiped the neck of the shopkeeper of the Future Inn."

"Hey——If you want me to say, the shopkeeper should also..."

"Shh, that's out of the question."

"Tsk tsk, it's a pity, she's really pretty."

"What a pity, no matter how good-looking she is, she's still a female spy. Do you dare to give it to you?"

"Dare to ask for it, it's also romantic to die under the peony flower and be a ghost."

There was a burst of playful laughter, with some ambiguous tones between men, which immediately aroused the contempt of the onlookers.

The footsteps were chaotic, the noise suddenly broke out, and the crowd was dispersed. It turned out that a team of officials, each with a portrait, came to check the pedestrians along the way.

All the women were pulled over and compared with their portraits, and those who were two or three points alike were tied to the back of the line, crying and complaining for a while.

A figure in a blue monk's robe was coming from a distance. When he passed by the official, his eyes fell on the portrait by chance, and the hand holding the Buddhist beads froze suddenly.

The spies were being caught in the city, and the officials searched the house from house to house, causing a lot of restlessness.

"Please trouble the shopkeeper, the poor monk would like to ask for a bowl of water to drink."

There is a tea shop at the gate of the city. The owner of the shop is busy inside and out when he hears a deep and deep voice in front of him. Looking up, he sees a dusty monk holding an alms bowl in his hand. between.

Most of the territory in the Southern Zhou Dynasty originally belonged to the Yelang Kingdom, and it was the place where many Buddhist monks went south for pilgrimage, so they were mostly kind to the monks.When the shopkeeper saw the monk, he smiled and said: "If the master doesn't mind, there is an empty seat over there. Master, please sit down first. I will make a pot of tea for the master, and you can rest your feet."

"Thank you to the shopkeeper. The poor monk came from a long journey and was covered in dust. I was afraid that the seat would be dirty. The shopkeeper kindly accepts the poor monk."

"I'm a tea stall, and I come and go on foot. Whatever you say, master, just sit down."

The shopkeeper said so, and the monk was inconvenient to refuse. After thanking him, he found an inconspicuous seat and sat down.

The tea stall was close to the city gate, and there were many customers coming and going, and there were also many gossips.

"Have you heard about the female spy?"

"With such a commotion, who wouldn't know about it?"

"I don't know when I will be caught. This morning I caught quite a few girls who resembled that portrait. I checked the account book and released them all. None of them."

"It's already past midnight, and it rained so much last night, and I haven't found any clues. This person is probably hard to catch."

"I heard from the yamen servant that the spy must not be far away."

"Why?"

"Laifu Inn, hehe, don't you know? The female spy was poisoned in the inn and was injured. Although she ran away, she couldn't run far."

"This criminal Laifu Inn, a well-known black shop, if you want to blame it, you can blame the spies because they are not familiar with the place, so they made a fool of themselves."

"If you want me to say, [-]% of the shopkeeper is lustful, otherwise, how could he be wiped on the neck."

"Speaking of which, the girl in the portrait is really pretty, so why would she be willing to poison her? She was poisoned to death, and her seven orifices were bleeding, what a pity."

"Hey hey, I guess it's probably not a serious poison, otherwise how could it be wiped on the neck."

Several people laughed together.

That's right, what good could happen to a woman who was poisoned.The shopkeeper shook his head, and took the teapot to the monk at the door.

"What about people?"

There were people coming and going, but there was no trace of the monk.
