Assassin He Chunxia

Chapter 57

On the first day of March, Jinan House Huibo Gate.

The rain was pouring down, and the number of people entering and leaving the city gate was much less than before.

Zhang Zhou porridge, clothes and oil boots, yawned and came down from the observation deck on the turret, "Brother, the lake where I put the fox swollen and flooded the road, the horse team of the Dawei Escort Bureau may not be able to make it today. "

He Xiaoyun slumped on the table and carefully looked at a written list by the light of the oil lamp. From time to time, he began to edit and add to it. After listening to this, he stopped writing and sighed, "It's fine if you don't come." He immediately put the list to the side. , took out a new piece of paper to write and draw.

"Is it better if you don't come?" Zhang Zhou Porridge copied the peanuts from his pocket and sat close to him. He caught a glimpse of the three words Zhu Jinchan and looked at it curiously. Together, Zhang Zhouzhu scratched his head, "Brother, did you think of how to find Sister Zhu?"

"I didn't sleep all night last night. After the trial of those guards, I have been thinking about things related to Miss Zhu." He Xiaoyun smiled bitterly, "I am a little scared now, afraid that what I guessed will be true."

I understand your strange expression on Zhang Zhouporg's face, he couldn't stop raising his eyebrows, He Xiaoyun was puzzled, Zhang Zhouporridge patted his shoulder, "Brother, you've been thinking about Miss Zhu for a night. In fact, I also feel this kind of emotion. Often I occasionally. I can probably understand. I feel that Sister Zhu is actually like that to you. You think, this man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, and they are all old and young. If you feel this way, then express it quickly. I'm afraid What, when I see you again, Sister Zhu, I'll try it out for you."

"What are you thinking, stinky boy?" He Xiaoyun stopped writing and drew a few circles on Huai'an on the paper, "The escorts explained that the destination of this dart trip is Huai'an, starting on the same day as us, later than us. Some. I wish girl said that going to Huai'an should not be to visit relatives, she is for this trip."

"Just for the sake of it, she is so high in Qinggong, maybe there are escorts in this escort who are her relatives, friends, masters, etc., and want to meet."

He Xiaoyun shook his head again and again, "My suspicion is that Zhu Kongkong, the six-fingered thief, may not have six fingers, maybe a girl, maybe just a girl."

"This! How could it be, Sister Zhu and Zhu Kongkong? Between the two, the decision is impossible!" Zhang Zhouzhu's mind came to a small beauty with delicate makeup, and Zhu Jinchan flashed through his mind when he first met him. The arrogant appearance of holding a golden hairpin against his throat, the anger when he stared at him when he was on the water Half a tad alike!
"The last time Zhu Kongkong appeared, he left the six-finger ink palm print in front of the stone lion of the Dawei Escort Bureau. As long as this handprint appears, this family will definitely have a treasure stolen, and I will never take more. Ma Kun exchanged all the treasures in the escort for silver and the crowd, and guarded them day and night, and Zhu Kongkong did not steal anything. But the escort had to eat up and down, so he couldn't guard against a small thief day and night, and waited for the end of the sword discussion. , I guessed that Zhu Kongkong would not show up, so Wu Ma Kun took the dart. Yesterday, the cruise ship gave [-] taels of passing money, and the darts must have valuable treasures, and when Miss Zhu entered the city, she asked the Dawei escort how to get there. There happened to be someone from the escort bureau who came with the clerk, and she pretended to be a buddy, is it so coincidental, just to make fun of you and me?"

"That day, when Miss Zhu entered the door, she didn't look at you and me, but first observed the environment in the inn. The direction she looked at was a few retreats. The shopkeeper said that there are rumors that Zhu Kongkong will take the jade in the near future. The Buddha's head was sold off, and so many experts from all corners of the world gathered nearby. The news should not be groundless. I wish you and I met for the first time, carrying two big boxes, and disembarked the day before yesterday, but there was only one left. "

"I wish the girl a good-looking girl, a high level of dexterity, a strong temperament, high-profile but careful and cautious, obviously an old Jianghu, but I have never heard of such a heroine in Jianghu. The two of you talked a few days ago, except for those few. Fox, your past family background is completely revealed, and have you ever known anything about her past? She is very defensive in her words, even if it is me, except that she is from Songjiang Prefecture to go back to visit relatives, and she has never been married. , I don't know about the rest." He Xiaoyun smiled bitterly and added two small characters under the three words Zhu Jinchan, empty.

"But this doesn't prove that Sister Zhu is Zhu Kongkong!" Zhang Zhou porridge patted the table in a hurry, and he believed it a little, but how could he believe it.He suddenly understood his brother's wry smile. Since ancient times, officials and thieves have different paths. They are Jinyiwei again. Zhu Kongkong, but the commander of Jinyiwei personally issued a wanted order to arrest people. , to catch or not to catch?
The officers and soldiers on the watchtower hurried down, shouting, "Wuma Kun is here, Wuma Kun is here."

The two who were seated immediately got up, performed light work, and took a few steps to the stage. They saw a four-carriage covered with several layers of tarpaulin in the fog. , but galloped forward.

There was not a horse tied in front of the carriage, but a giant man with a naked upper body and a horse rope tied around his waist. He walked vigorously and ran towards Huibo Gate. Who else in the world has such an unparalleled power!

The two went downstairs, trotted to the city gate, hid in the doorway to avoid the rain, the rain was heavy, and there were no other pedestrians on the road at this moment, only two officers and soldiers who were guarding the city were here because He Xiaoyun and Zhang Zhouporridge were here. Tour outside.

Suddenly, a team to greet the bride came out, and the groom took the lead on the main road in the city and slowly moved forward, looking at his posture and going out of the city.The gongs and drums were beaten all the way, but the sedan chairs in front stopped under the city gate, and the carriages behind the betrothal ceremony occupied the road ahead, blocking the road into the city.

He Xiaoyun frowned, the two officers and soldiers on duty stepped forward, and the old man who led the horse repeatedly bowed and handed over two packets of red wedding candy, "Two officials, my son has just been admitted to a scholar recently. Be happy, be happy."

"It's such a heavy rain, what's there to be happy about? Hurry up and leave." One of the officers and soldiers reached out to pick it up, but the other immediately stopped him, and gestured to He Xiaoyun who was standing beside him with his eyes.The old man followed his gaze and guessed that it was a high-ranking official inspecting. He smiled and took back the candy and tucked it into his robe. A thought was fleeting, and the man himself seemed to have seen it before.

"Hey, these two officials don't understand, our family is married, as the saying goes, the water splashed by a married daughter, the heavier the rain, the more water splashed, this daughter-in-law, The future will be more towards our home.”

"Makes sense. But why did it stop here?"

The old man smiled awkwardly, "Our family is from the countryside, and my daughter-in-law is from the city, so my daughter-in-law doesn't like it a little bit, she feels that she won't be able to come back when she leaves the city, and there is trouble in the sedan chair, and the mother-in-law of both families will go Persuaded, the two officials, let's wait here for a while, if someone passes by, let's get out of the way."

The two officers and soldiers stopped asking questions, and after explaining a few words, they turned back and talked to He Xiaoyun and Zhang Zhouporridge.Zhang Zhouporg bit his lip, "The bride, could it be Sister Zhu?"

"It's possible." The two walked over, and the old man greeted him and said, "Hey, it's you two."

He Xiaoyun approached, only to see that the old man was the old man Cao who was punting on the waterway two days ago. He recalled that there was indeed a story on the boat that day that his son got married and came to give money. It was difficult to speak, and only said to the groom twice, "Congratulations, congratulations, why didn't you see your mother?"

In order not to get wet, the groom's official clothes wore a very wide scorpion, covering even the whole horse. He nodded in agreement, and clasped his fists, "Mother is still in the sedan chair to persuade the madam to leave quickly. The two officials, I'm not good at equestrianism, and it's inconvenient to dress like this, getting off the horse and getting on again is really troublesome and disrespectful."

"Have you seen Sister Zhu in Jinan Mansion?" Zhang Zhou Porridge approached the sedan chair and listened carefully, but there was no noise. Old Man Cao shook his head, "We are not relatives, so what is she doing to us, but you two, I didn't expect Still such a big official, disrespectful, disrespectful. Would you two follow us to the countryside for a drink?"

"There are too many things to do, no." He Xiaoyun glanced at the sedan chair a few more times and exchanged a few words. Wu Ma Kun had already run to Huibo's gate. One of the two guards stopped the investigation, and the other came over to invite He Xiaoyun and Zhang. Zhou porridge for two people.

The two trotted into the city cave, Wu Ma Kun was putting on a mink robe, saw the two coming over, caught a glimpse of the faint unicorn pattern under the mink robe, and immediately took the customs clearance document from the inside of the jacket and handed it over, respectfully, "The two officials Lord, I am Wu Ma Kun, the head of the Dawei Escort Bureau. The brothers who are guarding the escort are still behind, and the rain will stop. The car is full of precious medicinal materials, and it is really impossible to seep water, so I will drag it over first. "

He Xiaoyun took the document and looked at it carefully, nodded, and instructed the others, "Go and inspect the goods."

"I told you how to meet you. I was in the audience at the sword discussion meeting that day. Liang Quan broke the sword against Yu Danfeng. The official is good at swordsmanship." Wu Ma Kun smiled and then sighed regretfully, "Liang Quan, it's a pity already."

He Xiaoyun nodded in agreement, but he was worried about the treasures transported in the carriage.Zhang Zhouporridge and the other two officers and soldiers lifted the tarps and opened the boxes one by one to check that they were all Chinese medicines, and some had even been ground into powder.After checking the structure of the carriage, there is no hidden layer hidden. He Xiaoyun has seen them one by one, and it is no different.

Small pieces of gems and pearls can be carried with you, so you don’t need to trouble the guards to escort them, so you need such a big battle?He Xiaoyun looked at Wu Ma Kun suspiciously. Just now, he ran up topless, and immediately put on his mink clothes when he entered the door.

"search."

Wuma Kun's face showed disgust, but a few people checked his body carefully, only a few taels of silver.He Xiaoyun had no clue, and went to look at the carriage again. What went wrong?Yesterday's escort leaked the news?Absolutely not, the people are still being held in prison. Could it be that Wuma Kun is just as he said, just sending the medicinal materials first, but what happened to the team that greeted the relatives, it was all a coincidence?
What a coincidence.

He Xiaoyun frowned, Wu Ma Kun began to shout about entering the city, "The documents, the goods and others have been inspected, I rushed to put the things, and I have to go back and direct the brothers to come over."

No way, "Go."

Just as Wuma Kun was about to pull the carriage into the city, the welcoming team moved.The sedan chair moved forward very slowly, and the two sedan chairmen carried the sedan chair tremblingly forward. The welcoming team was already moving, and the people behind were eagerly waiting. The time scene is a mess.

Wu Ma Kun wondered how long he would wait, then he coughed twice, and asked the bearer in front of him, a thunderous sound pierced his ears, "What's going on?"

"There are three people in the sedan chair for shelter from the rain, so they can't lift it." The sedan chairman gritted his teeth.

"It's easy to say." Wu Ma Kun went to the back of the sedan chair, hugged the sedan chair and lifted it up together, trot a few steps into the doorway and put it down. Granny Cao and another old lady got off the sedan chair. Just moved forward slowly.

He Xiaoyun and Zhang Zhou porridge congratulated Granny Cao, but they kept their eyes fixed on the sedan chair, but they were immediately lifted up by the sedan chairman and trotted to keep up with the groom. Two packets of wedding candy were stuffed into the carriage, and just as he was about to leave, He Xiaoyun drew his knife and cut off the wheel with one stroke.

"I detained this car, not only this one, but I will deduct all of your darts next time."

Wu Ma Kun smiled, his whole body screaming, "Why is the official so unreasonable."

"The escort of your escort bureau bribed a hundred taels of city defense officials last night, and he has already confessed that it was for the escort car to pass the customs today. There must be something strange about this escort. After I finish my investigation, you two, put Wuma Kun in the prison, don't talk to me. Those escorts are locked together." He Xiaoyun ordered to go down, and the two officers and soldiers took spears and stabbed Wu Ma Kun to drive him forward.

Wu Ma Kun sighed in the rain, his muscles had shrunk several times, "It is an unspoken rule in the rivers and lakes that the dart shop pays the toll to the official's house, sir, listen to my explanation."

"Junior brother, you follow, you are Jin Yiwei, so he can't take action on the road." He Xiaoyun told Zhang Zhouporridge, Zhang Zhouporridge agreed, and followed the two officers and soldiers to drive the giant man into the rain.

He Xiaoyun was the only one left in the doorway.

He sighed, "I wish girl, come out."

No one answered.

"I wish it were empty."

The bottom of the carriage rustled for a while, and a figure came out, sitting on the carriage with his little feet raised, wishing Jinchan's hair to be tied up and tucked into his clothes, wearing a light suit for easy movement, he was unpacking the wedding candy to eat, "Interesting, bad official, what are you doing? Will know I'm hiding here, and, how did you guess."

"You screamed at random." He Xiaoyun smiled and greeted her with a look of contempt, "I only know that things won't be so coincidental, there must be some strange people in the wedding team, just try to call you out." Then put the previous guess After elaborating, "I really don't know how the girl wished to hide under the car."

"It's really a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. I hid in the groom's coat and slipped in while everyone was paying attention to the sedan chair." Zhu Jinchan shook his head and got angry when he saw him, "What's wrong with the dead officer? I?"

"I want to see you." He Xiaoyun's smile suddenly became worse, "I have been poisoned, and I only have a hundred days to live. You are my last friend in this life."

"Hmph, sweet talk, and I want to lie to this girl." Zhu Jinchan got up and inspected the carriage and the goods on it, but found nothing, puffed up, turned his head to look at him, saw that he was serious, jumped out of the carriage, and held His pulse, "true or false."

He Xiaoyun's inner strength was revolving, and the poison attacked his heart, with a painful expression on his face, Zhu Jinchan sensed the pulse, and suddenly felt sad in his heart, "What kind of poison is in you, I will try to solve it for you."

"When we arrive in Huai'an, there may be an antidote."

"Then you just go to Huai'an. After all, we have different paths and different identities. Since you know that I am Zhu Kongkong, I will not hide it from you. I really came here to steal the treasure from the Dawei Escort Bureau this time. I overheard Wei Hongying from the Shifang Chamber of Commerce saying that there was something hidden in the dart this time, I want to know what it is." Zhu Jinchan thought about it, "I don't have it in this car, I'll take a look when the dart car at the back arrives."

He rushed back to the car and looked at it carefully again, "These don't seem to be medicinal herbs. Saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal, they stink to death." He jumped out of the car, "I'm leaving, you have to take good care of yourself on the way."

"I wish the girl." He called her softly.

A dying person always has something to drop and something to grab.

"I'm in my thirties, and I still can't let go of the ugly pair of mandarin ducks I took over 13 years ago." He Xiaoyun took out a handkerchief from his heart and showed it to her, smiling, "Her name is Xi Ci, just like you."

"It's not like that!" Zhu Jinchan wanted to turn his head away, but he couldn't help staring into his eyes. He smiled, but there were tears in his eyes. He softened and called out his name. "He Xiaoyun" wanted to persuade him. There is no need to be so affectionate, and suddenly the thought arises, if the person he is affectionate with is me, her name is Xi Ci, very similar to me?This sentence warms up, hum, I am naturally prettier, better, more likeable, and more likeable than that Xi Ci.Zhu Jinchan was a little sad when he was infected by He Xiaoyun, but when he thought of this, he snickered in his heart.

"Her husband is very good, and her daughter is also very good. I don't think about her anymore." He Xiaoyun closed his eyes and smiled silently, "Miss Zhu, when I guessed that you might be Zhu Kongkong, you stayed up all night, I was especially afraid that you were him, The officials and thieves are not at odds in the end, I will arrest you and return to Beijing. But now you are standing in front of me and tell me that you are Zhu Kongkong and the person I want to arrest. , I'm afraid you'll leave again."

Opening his eyes, Zhu Jinchan was still standing there, blushing slightly, "Hmph, why, this girl is so beautiful, it's normal for you to be reluctant. If you don't dare to catch me, then I won't leave, let's Let's go to Huaian together."
