Is it possible that it was a fake? Nangong Xing asked in a low voice, hesitated for a moment, and walked towards the farthest corner
Tang Xin glanced a few more times and lowered her voice: It shouldn't be Liu Beige, not a hero that everyone admires. Instead, there are many enemies. It's not good to pretend to be him, otherwise... I'll use a hidden weapon to test you?
Nangong Xing shook his head and said with a smile: No, it has nothing to do with us whether it is true or not.
That may not be true. After Tang Xin followed him to sit down, he lowered his voice. He said, "When Liu Beige first appeared in the world, there have been rumors that he was the illegitimate son of the young owner of the Liujiazhuang and the youngest daughter of the Fang family.
Fang Family? Nangong Xing raised his eyebrows and said, Fang Yuzhou's Fang?
Tang Xin nodded and said: The Fang family has long been destroyed by the enemy family. Fang Yuzhou is a descendant of a distant relative. However, when his parents were visiting the Fang family, they were both affected and died. If the rumors are true, Fang Yuzhou can be regarded as Liu Beige's distant cousin.
Fang Yuzhou himself might not recognize this relative. Nangong Xing waved his hand, called the waiter who was taking a nap, picked up a piece of silver and put it in his palm, and asked in a low voice, what's going on with that person in the corner? Why did he sleep at the dining table?
Seeing that he was curious, the waiter smiled and lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "I'm so tired that he rode the horse when he came, and he was spitting all over. He was led to the backyard and fell down before the night was about tonight. The boss was still worried about why he told the old man.
Are you so tired?
I asked Ah, I had been on the road for at least two or three days, and I probably didn't close my eyes and threw a ingot of silver as soon as I entered the door. I said I didn't know how long I stayed. I opened a room and served some food and food. After that, I went straight to the cottage and went out for about two minutes. I got to the table and put the knife on it. I started fighting without eating two bites. As a result, my legs were raised and we told us not to quarrel. We slept until now. After a while, the sun was coming, but we slept almost right. The waiter secretly turned his head and looked over there, adding that, anyway, there was no hindrance there. If you like, just sleep, just sleep with a knife. There was not even a sheath, and there was a bandit face. Who dares to disturb him? Ah
Thank you, help us get some breakfast at will, the rest is a reward. Send the waiter away, Nangong Xing pondered, is such a distant cousin worthy of his journey here?
Tang Xin thought about it and said: It's hard to say. He has no way to guess that in order to steal a brothel singing girl, he will go into the residence of the royal family in Zhongjing alone, provoke a master of the inner rank, and almost lose his life.
It's not that simple. Nangong Xing shook his head and said, Don't forget that the person who started this matter not only managed the government and clamped the boss's wife. He clearly did not want the news to be leaked, so as not to use it as bait to catch too many irrelevant fish. Liu Beige had been traveling so hard for days. Someone must have asked him to come. But what he was here to do is not easy to decide.
Tang Xin smiled slightly and said: Either come to save people or help kill people, no matter which one is, it is inseparable from us.
Nangong Xing looked at Fang's door outside the window and said lightly: He would better come to save people, so that would save us trouble.
At this time, looking at the Fang family, everything seems to be no different from usual
It is still an ordinary house, ordinary streets, people coming and going, hawkers and peddlers
Soon, the waiter served a pot of hot tea, two bowls of clear soup noodles, and four plates of side dishes. The two raised their chopsticks and ate a few bites, continuing to pay attention to the situation of the Fang family.
Nangong Xing sat on the table on the side of Tang Xin's left hand. At first glance, it seemed that the young couple was in a strong sense of love and refused to separate the table. It would not attract attention, but also make it easy to observe.
However, two bowls of hot noodles were eaten and drunk, and all four dishes of side dishes were found. The two still couldn't see any ambush around the Fang family.
The only fixed vendor is the wonton stall where the street corner is a prosperous business. The stall owner is an old woman who can't stand up straight. The two of them looked at it for a while. They were indeed a real ordinary woman. Judging from the movements on their hands and the tone of customers, they have been selling here for at least for many years, so there is nothing suspicious.
If they were ambushing at home and there were no support from around them, wouldn’t they look down on others? Nangong Xing frowned and thought, or was the person they were ambushing at home a master who made them feel very at ease?
Tang Xin curled her lips and said: Then this master must be very good at chasing and killing, so the world is so big. If you find out that you are inappropriate and escape separately, how can one or two masters chase after him?
Nangong Xing smiled and said: This is hard to say. There are really many experts in the world who are particularly good at this kind of thing. There is no shortage of such talents in the Six Gates. If you offend them, even if you go to heaven and earth, they can chase them relentlessly.
However, according to the boss's wife, whether the people under the Fang family are good at chasing or not, at least the ability to assassinate is absolutely first-class. Nangong Xing pondered for a while and said, "It is very vigilant for people in the martial arts world to sleep outside when they are asleep. This person can use the same method to silently take away fifteen lives, which is definitely not something that is good with just kung fu.
Tang Xin thought about it carefully for a while, trembling all over and whispered: It's really okay for you to let me use hidden weapons. Let me touch the room while the night is dark and windy, and we have to make them not make any noise. This requires a ruthless spirit of killing people like cutting vegetables.
It seems that we have to find this person first, otherwise even if we save the Fang couple, we will be stared at by such a monster. This danger is too big. Nangong Xing observed both ends of the street again and said, "I want to find this person directly, it seems that there is only one way to use it."
Tang Xin took a breath and said: You... aren't you planning to visit me?
Nangong Xing nodded and smiled and said: This is the easiest way. I went to the door to ask about the situation of the Fang family, saying that I would like to find Mrs. Zhong, and then open a room in this inn, waiting for the opponent to take the bait to remove the killer. Let's find a way to save the Fang family.
You are so confident that the other party can't kill you? Then you didn't abandon him, but he was abandoned. What should we do if the remaining few of us frowned slightly and asked without hesitation.
Nangong Xing smiled slightly and said: To be honest, if I was attacked and killed, you should pack up and notify the Bai brothers and sisters immediately. You go back to your Tang Sect, and they will go back to their Mujian Pavilion. Don’t get involved in the Emei Sect anymore. In the future, don’t think about things like Tiandao Ah Ruyi Tower Ah. If you don’t work, just leave the world. Just protect yourself.
Are you joking? Tang Xin was dumbfounded and asked in a panic
Nangong Xing stood up and walked out, laughing and said: Guess
When they stood up, a tall and thin man hurriedly walked into the entrance door of the inn. He was in his thirties and had a expressionless face. When he saw his steps, he knew that he was a good player with good light skills.
He glanced into the inn and walked straight to Liu Beige who was still snoring in the corner. Before he could get there, he called out: Brother Liu, Brother Liu! Why are you sleeping here? Wake up, wake up?
Nangong Xing took Tang Xin out the door and said, "If you walk to the Fang family, you should not follow Liu Beige here. I care a little bit. It's better for you to stay in the inn and take out your ability to inquire about information, and see what the person was from and what they planned to do."
Tang Xin was quite reluctant, but after weighing the pros and cons in her heart, she still said: OK, then you go to me and I will open two rooms here, both of which are your name. You can come here to find me directly at that time.
Nangong Xing nodded, took two steps, looked back at Tang Xin, and said softly: Neither of those two are easy to mess with, you should be more careful
Tang Xin smiled and said: I am a poisonous flower, it’s not so easy to be picked away by someone, go there.
Nangong Xing responded, but he was not very relieved. No matter how impure Tang Xin's purpose was, he was his female companion. After he walked around the street in front of the Fang family, he deliberately went back and forth twice, and went back and forth to the inn and looked at it a few times.
The tall and thin man later woke Liu Beige up and chatted.
Both of them were very low, and Nangong Xing concentrated on listening, and only heard a few vague clips. The only words that could be heard clearly were cousin, something was wrong, enemy, Emei, and a few
Liu Beige's first few sentences did not suppress his voice, so that he could hear the tall and thin name, as if it was Fang Qunli
With such a connection, could this be Fang Yuzhou’s far-far cousin and Liu Beige’s authentic cousin?
If so, then Tang Xin should not be in any danger
These two people might really come to save the Fang couple.
Nangong Xing thought for a moment, of course, the best strategy at this time is to watch the wall, let these two people play the lead, and they can also find out who is the killer.
But if these two men succeeded in saving people with great martial arts skills, I am afraid that no one will care about the disappearing family of five.
After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to go to the wet nurse's house according to the information given by the boss. If he could find any clues to save the person directly or conclude that the person was no longer saved, he decided to give it to Liu Beige and Fang Qunli.
Anyway, he was more concerned about the life and death of the five members of the Song family. If it weren't for Bai Ruolan's plea, he wouldn't want to know that this was a dug hole, but he rushed in and tried the deep.
The Song family is not too far from the Fang family. Nangong Xing pretended to be wandering around, and soon he walked to the front of the Song family.
The shabby wooden door is open on both sides, and there is no one inside the door
The ordinary people of five people of all sizes, except for neighbors with good relationships, are afraid that no one will care about their whereabouts. Even the six doors will only write down a note on the paper when cleaning up the headless case at the end of the year. On a certain month and a certain day, five people from the Song family in a certain alley were missing.
When he stepped into the yard, he looked around carefully and saw no obvious traces. However, even ordinary martial arts masters would not cause any trouble when dealing with a few ordinary people.
Take a look at the kitchen. There is a pot burnt through the stove. It should be the routine agent who came to help him get it away.
The door frame and window lattice were intact. He pushed it gently, and the door opened with hand. There were dishes on the table in the room, but the food was already moldy.
The chopsticks were neatly placed on the edge of the bowl, and only one fell on the ground. I don’t know if it was touched by someone from the Song family or because of some accidental constable.
Just looking at the situation inside the house, the Song family should have been coerced while waiting for the porridge to be cooked. There was no trace of blood in the house, and it was not messy at all. It can be seen that at least when leaving the house, the family of five should be alive.
There are three children in the family. It is easy to take the whole family as hostage. According to the boss's wife, the planner has already prepared the government in advance. As long as you start at night, even if there are soldiers guarding the gate, it is not difficult to take them out of the city.
After looking at the inside and outside the house inch by inch, I didn't find anything particularly useful. After all, a few days later, another constable and yamen runner came to trample his footprints. Even if Feng Po came here, he should be helpless.
Nangong Xing sighed, thinking about where else to investigate. Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a voice outside the door shouting: Who is it! What are you doing here!
Turning his head and looking over, standing outside the door, there was a young constable who looked childish. He held the knife with one hand and looked at him with anger. He looked a little bit arrogant.
Nangong Xing frowned and thought to himself that the six doors of Luyang City had cheated on empty salary, why did even such a half-large doll have to pay the title?
Seeing that the young man was wearing a soap coat, official hat, and a waist and knife, and a waist and card. It was not like pretending to be an impersonation. Nangong Xing had to bow his hand first and said: Go back to Guan Ye, I am a distant relative of the Song family. Here is the way to do business. I heard that my cousin and his uncle suddenly disappeared, so I hurried to come and see him and ask you, "You are?"
The young constable looked cold and pulled out half of the knife with a choking sound, and said coldly: If you pretend to be a relative of the Song family, you might be able to get confused by your cousin? The Song family's sister-in-law is an orphan left by the refugee. Where did you come from such a good cousin? I hardly had a close eye in three days, just checking all the basic files related to the Song family. You'd better tell the truth.
Seeing his 70-minute tender face, Nangong Xing couldn't help but smile and said: As expected, people should not behave like appearance. How dare you ask the official this year Gui Geng? Is it just like me that he looks small?
The detective replied with a cold face: This has nothing to do with you. You just need to honestly explain who you are, what are you doing here? What does the Song family’s disappearance have to do with you?
Nangong Xing shook his head and said: I have never heard of Liushangmen having you, a young and promising constable, and I don’t even report your name or position. How do I know whether you are true or not? Are you pretending to be an official and cheating?
The constable was really young, his face froze and he said loudly: In the lower Murong Ji, he is the new third-class constable in Luyang City. If you have any doubts, you can go to the government office with official documents as evidence.
Nangong Xing was stunned and said: Murong? Murong from the Murong family?
Murong is not a big family. After the Tianbi Dynasty unified the world, two emperors successively respected the Han Dynasty and chased different countries, causing a group of Murong, a group of foreign Han surnames, to almost extinct in the Central Plains. The larger clan is the only one of the Murong family.
Nangong Xing's father was the leader of the Murong family's collapse and ruined life. Many descendants of the Murong family were wandering around the world. Therefore, when he heard this surname, he subconsciously asked.
As soon as he asked, he realized that this was almost equivalent to revealing his identity as a man from the martial arts world.
Sure enough, Murong Ji's eyes lit up and he said: How could ordinary people care about the secrets of the Murong family first? Say! Who are you? What are you here to do? If you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for taking the people!
Nangong Xing frowned. He didn't expect to get into such trouble here. He measured it in his heart and said: OK, don't be bothered, I... My name is Nangong Xing, and I was entrusted by someone to investigate Fang Yuzhou and the current situation of Fang Daxia. It is said that the Fang family's wet nurse was also involved in the incident, so he came to see if he could find any clues.
Murong Ji narrowed his eyes and looked at Nangong Xing and said: Nangong? The Nangong of the Nangong family?
Nangong Xing hurriedly said: I have been dependent on my mother since I was a child. I am just a miserable newcomer in the world, but I can't afford the title of the Nangong family.
The hostility in Murong Ji's eyes then retreated a little, and he asked with a straight face: Are you here to find Fang Yuzhou's family?
Yes, what advice does the official have? Nangong Xing smiled
There was still no smile on Murong Ji's face and said coldly: Don't go and die.
Nangong Xing rolled his eyes and pretended to be scared and said: What do you mean? I heard that Hero Fang was just physically unwell and unable to meet guests. Isn’t it?
Murong Ji snorted, looked left and right at both ends of the alley, stepped into the yard and closed the door, and said: "Five of them have died, but there are no two, but you still know how to care about the whereabouts of the five members of the Song family. I advise you not to go to the Fang family to ask anything. If you have asked, find a good horse quickly and run as far as you can."
He said, bent down and looked carefully in the yard. It seemed that he could not find any useful clues in the government office documents, so he had to come back to investigate the scene again.
Seeing that he was investigating carefully, Nangong Xing couldn't help but say: Fifteen dead, such a big case, why don't you rush to investigate, but instead only focus on the missing case of the family of five?
Murong Ji looked up at him and said with a straight face: First, our captain is now responsible for those murders. I am not in the list, and we cannot overstep the second. There is no big or small case. Even if there is a priority, someone should investigate the third. Compared to those who claim to be chivalrous by using martial arts all day long, I don’t want innocent people like the Song family to be involved.
In the county town, a family of five disappeared overnight. There was only a third-class detective who was still young and had trouble investigating fifteen murder cases under the hall. There was no one who was looking for this yamen runner who was looking for it. It seemed that this time the opponent had handled the six doors very well.
Murong Ji glared at his eyes and said: What do you mean?
Nangong Xing curled his lips and smiled and said: This little official, are you pretending to be confused? If you really checked these days, you will not see any problems?
Murong Ji narrowed his eyes, the muscles on his cheeks twitched twice, and gritted his teeth and said: That has nothing to do with you. Since you are entrusted by someone to come to find Fang Yuzhou, don't get in the way here.
Nangong Xing's eyes flashed and he smiled: No, than the hero Fang, who had few dozen lives, I care more about the life and death of the five members of the Song family. I just don't know whether you are willing to help me.
I? Help you? How to help? Murong Ji stood up straight, looking a little alert
No one cares about this family of five except you. I arrived outside Luyang City last night. I don’t know many things. If you don’t help me, I can do nothing. Nangong Xing put his hands behind him and said slowly with a calm and kind expression.
Murong Ji glared at him, took a step back, and said: You don't need to bother with this case. Since I am determined to investigate, I will definitely find out the truth. Captain Jade once said that when investigating the case, you cannot easily believe anyone's statement. You will leave now. Let me just act as if you are not suspected. If it is a murder case, you will come to the scene for no reason. I will not let you leave easily.
Nangong Xing frowned and said with a smile: I didn't ask you to believe me and provide me with information, so I can provide you with a way to investigate the case. To be honest, this information is useless even if people who are not interested in the Song family's five members take it. Obviously, the city is still concerned about the life and death of their whole family. This kind of cooperation is not based on how sincere trust is, right? He paused a little, and seeing Murong Ji's face still hesitant, then said, "Don't you know that Captain Yu has said that when investigating a case, you should dare to use useful power?"
Murong Ji was stunned and said: I have never heard of this... I have never heard of her... She has really said that? But I have never heard of any person from the world who helped her when she investigated the case?
Nangong Xing pretended to be mysterious and said: This kind of thing is not very good to the government after all, so of course it will not be easily reported. This time, you and I cooperated to find out the case of the five members of the Song family. I will not go around and say that I have cooperated with the people from Liushenmen. You probably won’t tell people that this time I will have my contribution to solving the case, right?
Murong Ji seemed a little moved and hesitated: What you said makes sense...
Nangong Xing immediately said: Brother Murong, think about it again, there is an undercurrent in the city now. Depending on your age, your martial arts must be not a top-notch master. If you get into trouble with the murderer behind the scenes, can you really escape unscathed?
This made Murong Ji's expression change, and he said in a deep voice: Are you underestimating me? I have been practicing martial arts since I was sensible and dare not slacken for a day. The Murong family's seven-star sword is not as good as the senior masters in the aristocratic family in my hands, but it is enough for me to compete with the murderer. If my skills are not as good as others, I will have no regrets even if I die!
This young man practiced the Seven-Star Sword instead of the Seven-Star Palm. It can be seen that he had not yet touched the edge of the Murong family's core martial arts. Nangong Xing frowned and said: It is respectable that you sacrifice your life to death, but what about the five big and small members of the Song family? You are the only one in the government office and you are still working hard. Once you die, no one will help me. Even if the five of them are still alive, they can only sit and wait for death. How can you bear it?
After all, Murong Ji was still young, so he was introduced by Nangong Xing to the assumption that if he was investigated alone, he would not only not find out, but also die. His expression changed a few times, and finally suppressed the arrogance of being injured and said reluctantly: Let me talk first, how should I help you?
You just need to answer truthfully. Nangong Xing was happy and asked, "When the family of five disappeared?"
Murong Ji hesitated a little and said: Five days ago, at first glance, on March 27, I thought it was taken away during dinner in the evening, but I saw traces of someone staying in the woodshed, and the firewood piles were also moved artificially. Judging from the situation at both ends of the alley exit, it was impossible for someone to swagger and take two adults and three children away at that time. So the time when they were really taken away should be after no one was there at midnight.
Nangong Xing asked again: Will the four gates be closed after entering the night?
Seeing Murong Ji nodded, Nangong Xing continued to ask: Are there a fixed group of soldiers guarding the four gates recently?
Murong Ji was stunned for a moment and said: The soldiers guarding the city were drawn to the night of the two gates in the north and west, and there was no fixed place for the receptionist next to the east gate. When the two commuters patrol the night, they would lock the city gate to the south gate and the government office. The new servants who were waiting to be promoted had to be on duty for three months at the city gate. When there were no newcomers, there were two injured yamen runners who were full-time in charge. What did you ask?
Nangong Xing thought quickly and replied: The people who were in the city have tried their best to deal with the government. Obviously, they don’t want to cause any major trouble, even fifteen lives are all secretly killed in the inn. Soon, six doors collect the bodies, and they did not cause much trouble. There are only some rumors. If we were asked to find out who had been dealt with, there are probably hundreds of people working for the government office in the city. Even if you are in it, you may not be able to directly determine who is suspected, right?
Murong Ji thought about it and nodded: That's right, although some colleagues' performances are not right recently, I can't find any major problems that can be blamed. I am a third-class detective. I am a slight person and I am even more powerless.
But we can guess who must buy it. Nangong Xing's eyes were shiny, and he said, "If you want to plan something in the city, if you just want to make the government pretend to be deaf and dumb, you don't need to open up all the links, and the relationship between the government and the government office is mixed, so it is not easy enough to distinguish a goal."
However, the group of people in the city who cannot rest after nightfall must be properly handled. Nangong Xing looked at the clear expression on Murong Ji's face and said with a smile, the things they committed will undoubtedly take action when there is no one in the middle of the night. Whether it is killing or abducting people, there will inevitably be mistakes when Lu Yang has no curfew and no night patrol service. As long as it can ensure that the city gate guards and night patrol watchers who are still on duty after nightfall are bribed, then they can be unscrupulous that night.
But people are talking too much. Since you don’t want the news to leak, you must reduce the number of insiders as much as possible. Nangong Xingdao, so in recent days, people on duty at night should be more regular than before. If you ask, you will definitely ask what you can ask.
Murong Ji thought carefully and said: What you said is reasonable, OK, come with me, I will go to the government office and ask someone to help me see the records of the night.
Nangong Xing thought it was actually good to start from here, but there was no need to let Tang Xin wait on the other side, and then said: I have a companion, you and I will pick her up, let's go together.
If you go pick her up, I will go back to the yamen. Come here as soon as possible. Let's meet at the alley west of the yamen. Murong Ji said, "The person has already strode to the door, opened the door and went out, and turned around when he remembered something, I don't believe you very much. If you are not yet in half an hour, I will check it myself and not wait for you anymore."
Nangong Xing smiled and said: It doesn't take that long, I'll be there in a while
In fact, Nangong Xing did not trust Murong Ji too much, but it is a good thing to have another breakthrough than to break into the trap without any clues.
Since he changed his strategy, there was no need for Tang Xin to take the risk of staying in the inn. Although he had been wary of her, he did not want something to happen to her in this situation. Since he came together, he would have to go together.
Back at Chengze Inn, Liu Beige and Fang Qunli were no longer there, and the cups and plates on the table in the corner have not been packed yet, which shows that they have not been away for too long.
Apart from two tables, Tang Xin was sitting there, lying on her pillow and arm, with a jar of open-sealed wine on the table, and a wine bowl was poured obliquely on the table, with a little wine juice left inside.
Nangong Xing was stunned and subconsciously glanced around.
There was nothing strange around, only the waiter who saw him come in did not come for some reason, but instead glared at him with a rather contemptuous look.
He was puzzled in his heart, and quickly walked to Tang Xin, patted her shoulder, and whispered: Miss Tang, what's wrong with you?
As soon as he said this, Tang Xin suddenly stood up, turned a flowery face with tears in her eyes, and said angrily: You, you still have the face to come back!
After this shout, she swept the wine bowl and the jar to the ground with her arm, turned around and ran out in anger.
Nangong Xing was stunned, and did not care about the criticism from the people around him, and chased after him.
After leaving the store, Tang Xin did not stop and turned into an alley.
Nangong Xing frowned, unable to think of what mysterious she was making, so he had to chase after her with big strides.
But as soon as he chased into the alley, he saw Tang Xin standing in a cool place, combed her messy hair with her fingers, and the tears on her face had been wiped clean, and there was a smile on the corner of her lips, looking at him calmly
What tricks are you playing? Nangong Xing turned his head and looked at passers-by and asked in a low voice.
Tang Xin laughed and said: Didn’t you ask me to find out the news? It’s so urgent, how can I do not use some extraordinary means?
She looked out and saw that there was no one near the alley. She said: I was eating inside before. I didn’t look like a couple in the world. After you left, I pretended to be a poor woman who was abandoned by you all the time. She cried and asked for a jar of wine. While drinking, she scolded you, a person who was unlucky. Anyway, you had a fickle and lustful temperament. No one would suspect that I not only listened to Liu Beige’s chatting words, but when I left, Liu Beige also kindly comforted me, saying that when I met you in the future, I would definitely vent my anger for me.
Hey, you won't really agree, his knife is either heartbroken or parting. I can't afford to offend Nangong Xing smiled helplessly and said
Tang Xin shook her head, with a cunning smile on the corner of her lips, and said: I have pleaded for you. I cried and said that it’s not your fault, it’s because I am not dignified and virtuous enough, I don’t have the ability to be your wife, and I am unwilling to be a concubine in the side room. It’s normal for me to abandon her like a piece of shoes. Oh, somehow Liu Beige seemed even more angry. Is it wrong that I said something wrong?
Nangong Xing smiled bitterly and said: Yes, yes, yes, no matter where you say it, I can't take that farewell knife in the future, I will never blame you, what have you heard?
Tang Xin told her original story, and she said her guess at the same time.
As expected, it was not far from what Nangong Xing had expected. Fang Qunli was indeed Fang Yuzhou's cousin and Liu Beige's orthodox cousin.
Liu Beige rushed over for two days and three nights this time, and received a message from his cousin and asked him to help save the person.
Fang Qunli stayed in the city for several days, and the general situation was almost done. After they met, they hurriedly chatted, decided to do it in the evening, so they went to the inn room to discuss in detail.
Tang Xin estimated that the chance of eavesdropping on the eavesdropping was too high, so she had to pretend to be in the lobby and wait a while to find a chance to see if she could open the room next to Liu Beige and find a look for a wall to find out.
But before she could wait, Nangong Xing came back in a hurry, so she had to go with the flow and perform again to avoid any doubts in the inn
Although the method she used was good, it seemed that Nangong Xing would have a trace of mischief. If he brought the Bai brothers and sisters to stay in the hotel in the future, Bai Ruolan would not be considered by the waiter here as a sword to snatch her love's main house, and she would be ugly again.
Why did you come back to find me so soon? Did the Fang family's killer show up? Tang Xin finished speaking enthusiastically and asked him.
He hurriedly said what happened just now and said: ...This is better than taking risks rashly. Let's go to the yamen now and maybe follow the clues and can easily finish the whole thing.
Tang Xin pursed her lips and smiled, saying: Of course, that's the best, but I can help me when I ask. Although the poisons in the Tang Sect are not so diverse, they still have the ability to survive and die.
The little constable is impatient, let's go quickly. I think he will investigate by himself in less than half an hour. Nangong Xing thought about it, pointed to the other end of the alley, walked from there, don't pass by the inn gate.
Are you still afraid of being stabbed? Tang Xin giggled and turned around and walked in front
Nangong Xing followed behind and joked: Not only that, I am afraid that Liu Beige will see you walking with me, and I wonder how this girl is so ungrateful that she is not sure about it. Just kill everyone with one knife.
After leaving the alley, heading south along the central avenue, I soon saw the grand county government office.
But no one was waiting at the alley west of the Yamen
The two of them waited there for a long time, and then Murong Ji walked out of the side door angrily, looked here, strode over, and said angrily: The chief clerk, first, I would not allow me to check the records and say the patrol and garrison affairs, I am a third-class constable, and I have no right to handle it
Isn't it possible to handle the case? Nangong Xing asked in a while
No, Murong Jidao, if he said that if he was handling the case, he would first get the prefect's documents, so that he could browse it at will. I thought for a long time and found an excuse to report to the prefect that the prefect was not here. Fortunately, the county magistrate respected me on weekdays. I tried hard to help but finally asked for a letter, explaining that the special matter was handled and allowed me to review the on-duty records.
Murong Ji swallowed his saliva and said with anger: As a result, he couldn't find anything! The place he should have been left was written and I asked the chief clerk. He said that such small matters were always the responsibility of the documents, and it doesn't matter if it was lost. It's up for it next month.
Nangong Xing thought: Who is the document responsible for this responsibility?
Murong Ji immediately said: I asked, and the chief clerk said that such records will be reported every five days, and the clerk Zhang will be responsible for it.
Where is that Lord Zhang?
I was ill and had been recuperating at home for two days. I didn't come until tomorrow when I was due to send a message. Murong Ji was a little unwilling and said, what should I do now? Will I go and see the guards of each gate in person in the middle of the night?
Nangong Xing thought for a while and said: I don’t have to know if Lord Zhang lives in the city?
Murong Ji was stunned, then his eyes lit up, but he said: His family is indeed in the city... I have no personal relationship with him and I have no official duties, so it is not convenient to visit Ah
Nangong Xing smiled slightly and said lightly: As long as you can lead the way, you can visit this kind of thing. Miss Tang and I are very convenient.
Tang Xin glanced a few more times and lowered her voice: It shouldn't be Liu Beige, not a hero that everyone admires. Instead, there are many enemies. It's not good to pretend to be him, otherwise... I'll use a hidden weapon to test you?
Nangong Xing shook his head and said with a smile: No, it has nothing to do with us whether it is true or not.
That may not be true. After Tang Xin followed him to sit down, he lowered his voice. He said, "When Liu Beige first appeared in the world, there have been rumors that he was the illegitimate son of the young owner of the Liujiazhuang and the youngest daughter of the Fang family.
Fang Family? Nangong Xing raised his eyebrows and said, Fang Yuzhou's Fang?
Tang Xin nodded and said: The Fang family has long been destroyed by the enemy family. Fang Yuzhou is a descendant of a distant relative. However, when his parents were visiting the Fang family, they were both affected and died. If the rumors are true, Fang Yuzhou can be regarded as Liu Beige's distant cousin.
Fang Yuzhou himself might not recognize this relative. Nangong Xing waved his hand, called the waiter who was taking a nap, picked up a piece of silver and put it in his palm, and asked in a low voice, what's going on with that person in the corner? Why did he sleep at the dining table?
Seeing that he was curious, the waiter smiled and lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "I'm so tired that he rode the horse when he came, and he was spitting all over. He was led to the backyard and fell down before the night was about tonight. The boss was still worried about why he told the old man.
Are you so tired?
I asked Ah, I had been on the road for at least two or three days, and I probably didn't close my eyes and threw a ingot of silver as soon as I entered the door. I said I didn't know how long I stayed. I opened a room and served some food and food. After that, I went straight to the cottage and went out for about two minutes. I got to the table and put the knife on it. I started fighting without eating two bites. As a result, my legs were raised and we told us not to quarrel. We slept until now. After a while, the sun was coming, but we slept almost right. The waiter secretly turned his head and looked over there, adding that, anyway, there was no hindrance there. If you like, just sleep, just sleep with a knife. There was not even a sheath, and there was a bandit face. Who dares to disturb him? Ah
Thank you, help us get some breakfast at will, the rest is a reward. Send the waiter away, Nangong Xing pondered, is such a distant cousin worthy of his journey here?
Tang Xin thought about it and said: It's hard to say. He has no way to guess that in order to steal a brothel singing girl, he will go into the residence of the royal family in Zhongjing alone, provoke a master of the inner rank, and almost lose his life.
It's not that simple. Nangong Xing shook his head and said, Don't forget that the person who started this matter not only managed the government and clamped the boss's wife. He clearly did not want the news to be leaked, so as not to use it as bait to catch too many irrelevant fish. Liu Beige had been traveling so hard for days. Someone must have asked him to come. But what he was here to do is not easy to decide.
Tang Xin smiled slightly and said: Either come to save people or help kill people, no matter which one is, it is inseparable from us.
Nangong Xing looked at Fang's door outside the window and said lightly: He would better come to save people, so that would save us trouble.
At this time, looking at the Fang family, everything seems to be no different from usual
It is still an ordinary house, ordinary streets, people coming and going, hawkers and peddlers
Soon, the waiter served a pot of hot tea, two bowls of clear soup noodles, and four plates of side dishes. The two raised their chopsticks and ate a few bites, continuing to pay attention to the situation of the Fang family.
Nangong Xing sat on the table on the side of Tang Xin's left hand. At first glance, it seemed that the young couple was in a strong sense of love and refused to separate the table. It would not attract attention, but also make it easy to observe.
However, two bowls of hot noodles were eaten and drunk, and all four dishes of side dishes were found. The two still couldn't see any ambush around the Fang family.
The only fixed vendor is the wonton stall where the street corner is a prosperous business. The stall owner is an old woman who can't stand up straight. The two of them looked at it for a while. They were indeed a real ordinary woman. Judging from the movements on their hands and the tone of customers, they have been selling here for at least for many years, so there is nothing suspicious.
If they were ambushing at home and there were no support from around them, wouldn’t they look down on others? Nangong Xing frowned and thought, or was the person they were ambushing at home a master who made them feel very at ease?
Tang Xin curled her lips and said: Then this master must be very good at chasing and killing, so the world is so big. If you find out that you are inappropriate and escape separately, how can one or two masters chase after him?
Nangong Xing smiled and said: This is hard to say. There are really many experts in the world who are particularly good at this kind of thing. There is no shortage of such talents in the Six Gates. If you offend them, even if you go to heaven and earth, they can chase them relentlessly.
However, according to the boss's wife, whether the people under the Fang family are good at chasing or not, at least the ability to assassinate is absolutely first-class. Nangong Xing pondered for a while and said, "It is very vigilant for people in the martial arts world to sleep outside when they are asleep. This person can use the same method to silently take away fifteen lives, which is definitely not something that is good with just kung fu.
Tang Xin thought about it carefully for a while, trembling all over and whispered: It's really okay for you to let me use hidden weapons. Let me touch the room while the night is dark and windy, and we have to make them not make any noise. This requires a ruthless spirit of killing people like cutting vegetables.
It seems that we have to find this person first, otherwise even if we save the Fang couple, we will be stared at by such a monster. This danger is too big. Nangong Xing observed both ends of the street again and said, "I want to find this person directly, it seems that there is only one way to use it."
Tang Xin took a breath and said: You... aren't you planning to visit me?
Nangong Xing nodded and smiled and said: This is the easiest way. I went to the door to ask about the situation of the Fang family, saying that I would like to find Mrs. Zhong, and then open a room in this inn, waiting for the opponent to take the bait to remove the killer. Let's find a way to save the Fang family.
You are so confident that the other party can't kill you? Then you didn't abandon him, but he was abandoned. What should we do if the remaining few of us frowned slightly and asked without hesitation.
Nangong Xing smiled slightly and said: To be honest, if I was attacked and killed, you should pack up and notify the Bai brothers and sisters immediately. You go back to your Tang Sect, and they will go back to their Mujian Pavilion. Don’t get involved in the Emei Sect anymore. In the future, don’t think about things like Tiandao Ah Ruyi Tower Ah. If you don’t work, just leave the world. Just protect yourself.
Are you joking? Tang Xin was dumbfounded and asked in a panic
Nangong Xing stood up and walked out, laughing and said: Guess
When they stood up, a tall and thin man hurriedly walked into the entrance door of the inn. He was in his thirties and had a expressionless face. When he saw his steps, he knew that he was a good player with good light skills.
He glanced into the inn and walked straight to Liu Beige who was still snoring in the corner. Before he could get there, he called out: Brother Liu, Brother Liu! Why are you sleeping here? Wake up, wake up?
Nangong Xing took Tang Xin out the door and said, "If you walk to the Fang family, you should not follow Liu Beige here. I care a little bit. It's better for you to stay in the inn and take out your ability to inquire about information, and see what the person was from and what they planned to do."
Tang Xin was quite reluctant, but after weighing the pros and cons in her heart, she still said: OK, then you go to me and I will open two rooms here, both of which are your name. You can come here to find me directly at that time.
Nangong Xing nodded, took two steps, looked back at Tang Xin, and said softly: Neither of those two are easy to mess with, you should be more careful
Tang Xin smiled and said: I am a poisonous flower, it’s not so easy to be picked away by someone, go there.
Nangong Xing responded, but he was not very relieved. No matter how impure Tang Xin's purpose was, he was his female companion. After he walked around the street in front of the Fang family, he deliberately went back and forth twice, and went back and forth to the inn and looked at it a few times.
The tall and thin man later woke Liu Beige up and chatted.
Both of them were very low, and Nangong Xing concentrated on listening, and only heard a few vague clips. The only words that could be heard clearly were cousin, something was wrong, enemy, Emei, and a few
Liu Beige's first few sentences did not suppress his voice, so that he could hear the tall and thin name, as if it was Fang Qunli
With such a connection, could this be Fang Yuzhou’s far-far cousin and Liu Beige’s authentic cousin?
If so, then Tang Xin should not be in any danger
These two people might really come to save the Fang couple.
Nangong Xing thought for a moment, of course, the best strategy at this time is to watch the wall, let these two people play the lead, and they can also find out who is the killer.
But if these two men succeeded in saving people with great martial arts skills, I am afraid that no one will care about the disappearing family of five.
After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to go to the wet nurse's house according to the information given by the boss. If he could find any clues to save the person directly or conclude that the person was no longer saved, he decided to give it to Liu Beige and Fang Qunli.
Anyway, he was more concerned about the life and death of the five members of the Song family. If it weren't for Bai Ruolan's plea, he wouldn't want to know that this was a dug hole, but he rushed in and tried the deep.
The Song family is not too far from the Fang family. Nangong Xing pretended to be wandering around, and soon he walked to the front of the Song family.
The shabby wooden door is open on both sides, and there is no one inside the door
The ordinary people of five people of all sizes, except for neighbors with good relationships, are afraid that no one will care about their whereabouts. Even the six doors will only write down a note on the paper when cleaning up the headless case at the end of the year. On a certain month and a certain day, five people from the Song family in a certain alley were missing.
When he stepped into the yard, he looked around carefully and saw no obvious traces. However, even ordinary martial arts masters would not cause any trouble when dealing with a few ordinary people.
Take a look at the kitchen. There is a pot burnt through the stove. It should be the routine agent who came to help him get it away.
The door frame and window lattice were intact. He pushed it gently, and the door opened with hand. There were dishes on the table in the room, but the food was already moldy.
The chopsticks were neatly placed on the edge of the bowl, and only one fell on the ground. I don’t know if it was touched by someone from the Song family or because of some accidental constable.
Just looking at the situation inside the house, the Song family should have been coerced while waiting for the porridge to be cooked. There was no trace of blood in the house, and it was not messy at all. It can be seen that at least when leaving the house, the family of five should be alive.
There are three children in the family. It is easy to take the whole family as hostage. According to the boss's wife, the planner has already prepared the government in advance. As long as you start at night, even if there are soldiers guarding the gate, it is not difficult to take them out of the city.
After looking at the inside and outside the house inch by inch, I didn't find anything particularly useful. After all, a few days later, another constable and yamen runner came to trample his footprints. Even if Feng Po came here, he should be helpless.
Nangong Xing sighed, thinking about where else to investigate. Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a voice outside the door shouting: Who is it! What are you doing here!
Turning his head and looking over, standing outside the door, there was a young constable who looked childish. He held the knife with one hand and looked at him with anger. He looked a little bit arrogant.
Nangong Xing frowned and thought to himself that the six doors of Luyang City had cheated on empty salary, why did even such a half-large doll have to pay the title?
Seeing that the young man was wearing a soap coat, official hat, and a waist and knife, and a waist and card. It was not like pretending to be an impersonation. Nangong Xing had to bow his hand first and said: Go back to Guan Ye, I am a distant relative of the Song family. Here is the way to do business. I heard that my cousin and his uncle suddenly disappeared, so I hurried to come and see him and ask you, "You are?"
The young constable looked cold and pulled out half of the knife with a choking sound, and said coldly: If you pretend to be a relative of the Song family, you might be able to get confused by your cousin? The Song family's sister-in-law is an orphan left by the refugee. Where did you come from such a good cousin? I hardly had a close eye in three days, just checking all the basic files related to the Song family. You'd better tell the truth.
Seeing his 70-minute tender face, Nangong Xing couldn't help but smile and said: As expected, people should not behave like appearance. How dare you ask the official this year Gui Geng? Is it just like me that he looks small?
The detective replied with a cold face: This has nothing to do with you. You just need to honestly explain who you are, what are you doing here? What does the Song family’s disappearance have to do with you?
Nangong Xing shook his head and said: I have never heard of Liushangmen having you, a young and promising constable, and I don’t even report your name or position. How do I know whether you are true or not? Are you pretending to be an official and cheating?
The constable was really young, his face froze and he said loudly: In the lower Murong Ji, he is the new third-class constable in Luyang City. If you have any doubts, you can go to the government office with official documents as evidence.
Nangong Xing was stunned and said: Murong? Murong from the Murong family?
Murong is not a big family. After the Tianbi Dynasty unified the world, two emperors successively respected the Han Dynasty and chased different countries, causing a group of Murong, a group of foreign Han surnames, to almost extinct in the Central Plains. The larger clan is the only one of the Murong family.
Nangong Xing's father was the leader of the Murong family's collapse and ruined life. Many descendants of the Murong family were wandering around the world. Therefore, when he heard this surname, he subconsciously asked.
As soon as he asked, he realized that this was almost equivalent to revealing his identity as a man from the martial arts world.
Sure enough, Murong Ji's eyes lit up and he said: How could ordinary people care about the secrets of the Murong family first? Say! Who are you? What are you here to do? If you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for taking the people!
Nangong Xing frowned. He didn't expect to get into such trouble here. He measured it in his heart and said: OK, don't be bothered, I... My name is Nangong Xing, and I was entrusted by someone to investigate Fang Yuzhou and the current situation of Fang Daxia. It is said that the Fang family's wet nurse was also involved in the incident, so he came to see if he could find any clues.
Murong Ji narrowed his eyes and looked at Nangong Xing and said: Nangong? The Nangong of the Nangong family?
Nangong Xing hurriedly said: I have been dependent on my mother since I was a child. I am just a miserable newcomer in the world, but I can't afford the title of the Nangong family.
The hostility in Murong Ji's eyes then retreated a little, and he asked with a straight face: Are you here to find Fang Yuzhou's family?
Yes, what advice does the official have? Nangong Xing smiled
There was still no smile on Murong Ji's face and said coldly: Don't go and die.
Nangong Xing rolled his eyes and pretended to be scared and said: What do you mean? I heard that Hero Fang was just physically unwell and unable to meet guests. Isn’t it?
Murong Ji snorted, looked left and right at both ends of the alley, stepped into the yard and closed the door, and said: "Five of them have died, but there are no two, but you still know how to care about the whereabouts of the five members of the Song family. I advise you not to go to the Fang family to ask anything. If you have asked, find a good horse quickly and run as far as you can."
He said, bent down and looked carefully in the yard. It seemed that he could not find any useful clues in the government office documents, so he had to come back to investigate the scene again.
Seeing that he was investigating carefully, Nangong Xing couldn't help but say: Fifteen dead, such a big case, why don't you rush to investigate, but instead only focus on the missing case of the family of five?
Murong Ji looked up at him and said with a straight face: First, our captain is now responsible for those murders. I am not in the list, and we cannot overstep the second. There is no big or small case. Even if there is a priority, someone should investigate the third. Compared to those who claim to be chivalrous by using martial arts all day long, I don’t want innocent people like the Song family to be involved.
In the county town, a family of five disappeared overnight. There was only a third-class detective who was still young and had trouble investigating fifteen murder cases under the hall. There was no one who was looking for this yamen runner who was looking for it. It seemed that this time the opponent had handled the six doors very well.
Murong Ji glared at his eyes and said: What do you mean?
Nangong Xing curled his lips and smiled and said: This little official, are you pretending to be confused? If you really checked these days, you will not see any problems?
Murong Ji narrowed his eyes, the muscles on his cheeks twitched twice, and gritted his teeth and said: That has nothing to do with you. Since you are entrusted by someone to come to find Fang Yuzhou, don't get in the way here.
Nangong Xing's eyes flashed and he smiled: No, than the hero Fang, who had few dozen lives, I care more about the life and death of the five members of the Song family. I just don't know whether you are willing to help me.
I? Help you? How to help? Murong Ji stood up straight, looking a little alert
No one cares about this family of five except you. I arrived outside Luyang City last night. I don’t know many things. If you don’t help me, I can do nothing. Nangong Xing put his hands behind him and said slowly with a calm and kind expression.
Murong Ji glared at him, took a step back, and said: You don't need to bother with this case. Since I am determined to investigate, I will definitely find out the truth. Captain Jade once said that when investigating the case, you cannot easily believe anyone's statement. You will leave now. Let me just act as if you are not suspected. If it is a murder case, you will come to the scene for no reason. I will not let you leave easily.
Nangong Xing frowned and said with a smile: I didn't ask you to believe me and provide me with information, so I can provide you with a way to investigate the case. To be honest, this information is useless even if people who are not interested in the Song family's five members take it. Obviously, the city is still concerned about the life and death of their whole family. This kind of cooperation is not based on how sincere trust is, right? He paused a little, and seeing Murong Ji's face still hesitant, then said, "Don't you know that Captain Yu has said that when investigating a case, you should dare to use useful power?"
Murong Ji was stunned and said: I have never heard of this... I have never heard of her... She has really said that? But I have never heard of any person from the world who helped her when she investigated the case?
Nangong Xing pretended to be mysterious and said: This kind of thing is not very good to the government after all, so of course it will not be easily reported. This time, you and I cooperated to find out the case of the five members of the Song family. I will not go around and say that I have cooperated with the people from Liushenmen. You probably won’t tell people that this time I will have my contribution to solving the case, right?
Murong Ji seemed a little moved and hesitated: What you said makes sense...
Nangong Xing immediately said: Brother Murong, think about it again, there is an undercurrent in the city now. Depending on your age, your martial arts must be not a top-notch master. If you get into trouble with the murderer behind the scenes, can you really escape unscathed?
This made Murong Ji's expression change, and he said in a deep voice: Are you underestimating me? I have been practicing martial arts since I was sensible and dare not slacken for a day. The Murong family's seven-star sword is not as good as the senior masters in the aristocratic family in my hands, but it is enough for me to compete with the murderer. If my skills are not as good as others, I will have no regrets even if I die!
This young man practiced the Seven-Star Sword instead of the Seven-Star Palm. It can be seen that he had not yet touched the edge of the Murong family's core martial arts. Nangong Xing frowned and said: It is respectable that you sacrifice your life to death, but what about the five big and small members of the Song family? You are the only one in the government office and you are still working hard. Once you die, no one will help me. Even if the five of them are still alive, they can only sit and wait for death. How can you bear it?
After all, Murong Ji was still young, so he was introduced by Nangong Xing to the assumption that if he was investigated alone, he would not only not find out, but also die. His expression changed a few times, and finally suppressed the arrogance of being injured and said reluctantly: Let me talk first, how should I help you?
You just need to answer truthfully. Nangong Xing was happy and asked, "When the family of five disappeared?"
Murong Ji hesitated a little and said: Five days ago, at first glance, on March 27, I thought it was taken away during dinner in the evening, but I saw traces of someone staying in the woodshed, and the firewood piles were also moved artificially. Judging from the situation at both ends of the alley exit, it was impossible for someone to swagger and take two adults and three children away at that time. So the time when they were really taken away should be after no one was there at midnight.
Nangong Xing asked again: Will the four gates be closed after entering the night?
Seeing Murong Ji nodded, Nangong Xing continued to ask: Are there a fixed group of soldiers guarding the four gates recently?
Murong Ji was stunned for a moment and said: The soldiers guarding the city were drawn to the night of the two gates in the north and west, and there was no fixed place for the receptionist next to the east gate. When the two commuters patrol the night, they would lock the city gate to the south gate and the government office. The new servants who were waiting to be promoted had to be on duty for three months at the city gate. When there were no newcomers, there were two injured yamen runners who were full-time in charge. What did you ask?
Nangong Xing thought quickly and replied: The people who were in the city have tried their best to deal with the government. Obviously, they don’t want to cause any major trouble, even fifteen lives are all secretly killed in the inn. Soon, six doors collect the bodies, and they did not cause much trouble. There are only some rumors. If we were asked to find out who had been dealt with, there are probably hundreds of people working for the government office in the city. Even if you are in it, you may not be able to directly determine who is suspected, right?
Murong Ji thought about it and nodded: That's right, although some colleagues' performances are not right recently, I can't find any major problems that can be blamed. I am a third-class detective. I am a slight person and I am even more powerless.
But we can guess who must buy it. Nangong Xing's eyes were shiny, and he said, "If you want to plan something in the city, if you just want to make the government pretend to be deaf and dumb, you don't need to open up all the links, and the relationship between the government and the government office is mixed, so it is not easy enough to distinguish a goal."
However, the group of people in the city who cannot rest after nightfall must be properly handled. Nangong Xing looked at the clear expression on Murong Ji's face and said with a smile, the things they committed will undoubtedly take action when there is no one in the middle of the night. Whether it is killing or abducting people, there will inevitably be mistakes when Lu Yang has no curfew and no night patrol service. As long as it can ensure that the city gate guards and night patrol watchers who are still on duty after nightfall are bribed, then they can be unscrupulous that night.
But people are talking too much. Since you don’t want the news to leak, you must reduce the number of insiders as much as possible. Nangong Xingdao, so in recent days, people on duty at night should be more regular than before. If you ask, you will definitely ask what you can ask.
Murong Ji thought carefully and said: What you said is reasonable, OK, come with me, I will go to the government office and ask someone to help me see the records of the night.
Nangong Xing thought it was actually good to start from here, but there was no need to let Tang Xin wait on the other side, and then said: I have a companion, you and I will pick her up, let's go together.
If you go pick her up, I will go back to the yamen. Come here as soon as possible. Let's meet at the alley west of the yamen. Murong Ji said, "The person has already strode to the door, opened the door and went out, and turned around when he remembered something, I don't believe you very much. If you are not yet in half an hour, I will check it myself and not wait for you anymore."
Nangong Xing smiled and said: It doesn't take that long, I'll be there in a while
In fact, Nangong Xing did not trust Murong Ji too much, but it is a good thing to have another breakthrough than to break into the trap without any clues.
Since he changed his strategy, there was no need for Tang Xin to take the risk of staying in the inn. Although he had been wary of her, he did not want something to happen to her in this situation. Since he came together, he would have to go together.
Back at Chengze Inn, Liu Beige and Fang Qunli were no longer there, and the cups and plates on the table in the corner have not been packed yet, which shows that they have not been away for too long.
Apart from two tables, Tang Xin was sitting there, lying on her pillow and arm, with a jar of open-sealed wine on the table, and a wine bowl was poured obliquely on the table, with a little wine juice left inside.
Nangong Xing was stunned and subconsciously glanced around.
There was nothing strange around, only the waiter who saw him come in did not come for some reason, but instead glared at him with a rather contemptuous look.
He was puzzled in his heart, and quickly walked to Tang Xin, patted her shoulder, and whispered: Miss Tang, what's wrong with you?
As soon as he said this, Tang Xin suddenly stood up, turned a flowery face with tears in her eyes, and said angrily: You, you still have the face to come back!
After this shout, she swept the wine bowl and the jar to the ground with her arm, turned around and ran out in anger.
Nangong Xing was stunned, and did not care about the criticism from the people around him, and chased after him.
After leaving the store, Tang Xin did not stop and turned into an alley.
Nangong Xing frowned, unable to think of what mysterious she was making, so he had to chase after her with big strides.
But as soon as he chased into the alley, he saw Tang Xin standing in a cool place, combed her messy hair with her fingers, and the tears on her face had been wiped clean, and there was a smile on the corner of her lips, looking at him calmly
What tricks are you playing? Nangong Xing turned his head and looked at passers-by and asked in a low voice.
Tang Xin laughed and said: Didn’t you ask me to find out the news? It’s so urgent, how can I do not use some extraordinary means?
She looked out and saw that there was no one near the alley. She said: I was eating inside before. I didn’t look like a couple in the world. After you left, I pretended to be a poor woman who was abandoned by you all the time. She cried and asked for a jar of wine. While drinking, she scolded you, a person who was unlucky. Anyway, you had a fickle and lustful temperament. No one would suspect that I not only listened to Liu Beige’s chatting words, but when I left, Liu Beige also kindly comforted me, saying that when I met you in the future, I would definitely vent my anger for me.
Hey, you won't really agree, his knife is either heartbroken or parting. I can't afford to offend Nangong Xing smiled helplessly and said
Tang Xin shook her head, with a cunning smile on the corner of her lips, and said: I have pleaded for you. I cried and said that it’s not your fault, it’s because I am not dignified and virtuous enough, I don’t have the ability to be your wife, and I am unwilling to be a concubine in the side room. It’s normal for me to abandon her like a piece of shoes. Oh, somehow Liu Beige seemed even more angry. Is it wrong that I said something wrong?
Nangong Xing smiled bitterly and said: Yes, yes, yes, no matter where you say it, I can't take that farewell knife in the future, I will never blame you, what have you heard?
Tang Xin told her original story, and she said her guess at the same time.
As expected, it was not far from what Nangong Xing had expected. Fang Qunli was indeed Fang Yuzhou's cousin and Liu Beige's orthodox cousin.
Liu Beige rushed over for two days and three nights this time, and received a message from his cousin and asked him to help save the person.
Fang Qunli stayed in the city for several days, and the general situation was almost done. After they met, they hurriedly chatted, decided to do it in the evening, so they went to the inn room to discuss in detail.
Tang Xin estimated that the chance of eavesdropping on the eavesdropping was too high, so she had to pretend to be in the lobby and wait a while to find a chance to see if she could open the room next to Liu Beige and find a look for a wall to find out.
But before she could wait, Nangong Xing came back in a hurry, so she had to go with the flow and perform again to avoid any doubts in the inn
Although the method she used was good, it seemed that Nangong Xing would have a trace of mischief. If he brought the Bai brothers and sisters to stay in the hotel in the future, Bai Ruolan would not be considered by the waiter here as a sword to snatch her love's main house, and she would be ugly again.
Why did you come back to find me so soon? Did the Fang family's killer show up? Tang Xin finished speaking enthusiastically and asked him.
He hurriedly said what happened just now and said: ...This is better than taking risks rashly. Let's go to the yamen now and maybe follow the clues and can easily finish the whole thing.
Tang Xin pursed her lips and smiled, saying: Of course, that's the best, but I can help me when I ask. Although the poisons in the Tang Sect are not so diverse, they still have the ability to survive and die.
The little constable is impatient, let's go quickly. I think he will investigate by himself in less than half an hour. Nangong Xing thought about it, pointed to the other end of the alley, walked from there, don't pass by the inn gate.
Are you still afraid of being stabbed? Tang Xin giggled and turned around and walked in front
Nangong Xing followed behind and joked: Not only that, I am afraid that Liu Beige will see you walking with me, and I wonder how this girl is so ungrateful that she is not sure about it. Just kill everyone with one knife.
After leaving the alley, heading south along the central avenue, I soon saw the grand county government office.
But no one was waiting at the alley west of the Yamen
The two of them waited there for a long time, and then Murong Ji walked out of the side door angrily, looked here, strode over, and said angrily: The chief clerk, first, I would not allow me to check the records and say the patrol and garrison affairs, I am a third-class constable, and I have no right to handle it
Isn't it possible to handle the case? Nangong Xing asked in a while
No, Murong Jidao, if he said that if he was handling the case, he would first get the prefect's documents, so that he could browse it at will. I thought for a long time and found an excuse to report to the prefect that the prefect was not here. Fortunately, the county magistrate respected me on weekdays. I tried hard to help but finally asked for a letter, explaining that the special matter was handled and allowed me to review the on-duty records.
Murong Ji swallowed his saliva and said with anger: As a result, he couldn't find anything! The place he should have been left was written and I asked the chief clerk. He said that such small matters were always the responsibility of the documents, and it doesn't matter if it was lost. It's up for it next month.
Nangong Xing thought: Who is the document responsible for this responsibility?
Murong Ji immediately said: I asked, and the chief clerk said that such records will be reported every five days, and the clerk Zhang will be responsible for it.
Where is that Lord Zhang?
I was ill and had been recuperating at home for two days. I didn't come until tomorrow when I was due to send a message. Murong Ji was a little unwilling and said, what should I do now? Will I go and see the guards of each gate in person in the middle of the night?
Nangong Xing thought for a while and said: I don’t have to know if Lord Zhang lives in the city?
Murong Ji was stunned, then his eyes lit up, but he said: His family is indeed in the city... I have no personal relationship with him and I have no official duties, so it is not convenient to visit Ah
Nangong Xing smiled slightly and said lightly: As long as you can lead the way, you can visit this kind of thing. Miss Tang and I are very convenient.
