Chapter 64 The Shouzhou Murder Case (2)

The three of them returned to Shouzhou City together, and wanted to ask someone about the location of the Shouzhou branch of the Beggar Gang, but there was no beggar on the street, and they didn't know when they asked others. The eyes of the two daughters and Liu Ruo lit up, and they happily shouted at the three people not far away: "Uncle Zhang, Aunt Gao, Xiao Yuan, where are we here? Why did you come to Shouzhou?" The woman pulled Li Wei and ran towards Zhang Jing's family of three.

Zhang Jing and the others were in a hurry to find Liu Ruo and the others, but they suddenly heard Liu Ruo's second daughter calling, so they hurriedly greeted them, and the three of them saluted Li Wei and the others respectfully, saying: "I have seen the two ladies." , I have seen my uncle."

"Uncle Zhang, this is not the Valley of Medicine Kings, so don't have so many rules in your family, okay? Uncle Zhang, Aunt Gao, did Master ask you to come out to protect us?" Liu Shui and Liu Ruo's second daughter let go of Li. Wei held Gao Feifei's hand from left to right, and chattered non-stop. They really didn't expect that Master would send Zhang Jing's family of three out of Yaowang Valley to protect themselves.

"My lord, are you all okay? This old slave was lured away by someone using a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. When I found out later, I couldn't find any trace of you. I went to the branch of the Beggars' Gang to ask people from the Beggars' Gang to help. As a result, the Beggars' Gang All the members of the forum are dead, and our family is about to leave Shouzhou and go to Yangzhou to find you guys? I didn’t expect to meet the three of you here.” Zhang Jing saw his wife chatting happily with the two young ladies, He pulled Zhang Yuan up to Li Wei, "Grandpa, this is Zhang Yuan, the son of our couple. This year and in the future, I ask you to support me more. Zhang Jing thanked you for being here. I haven't seen my uncle."

"I've seen my uncle." Zhang Yuan cupped his hands at Li Wei, but looked at Liu Ruo and Liu Shui.

"Yuan'er, remember what I told you just now? If you don't obey me again, go back to the Valley of the Medicine King immediately." Zhang Jing saw that his son had been on the verge of death since meeting Liu Ruo and Liu Shui. He never left, afraid of causing Li Wei's misunderstanding, he hurriedly winked at Zhang Yuan.

Li Wei didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhang Yuan, but seeing Zhang Jing being so enthusiastic, he didn't know what to say. Zhang Jing and Li Wei had never met before, but Gao Feifei and Li Wei were I have seen that the woman guarding the door of Liu Ruo's second daughter that day was Gao Feifei. Speaking of which, what happened in Yaowang Valley that day, without Gao Feifei's help, Li Wei still had no way to get along with Liu Ruo and Liu Shui's second daughter. Combine it! "We're all fine, I'll trouble you, Uncle Zhang, Senior Liu is in good health!"

Zhang Jing shook his head and said, "My lord, after you and the two young ladies left the Valley of the Medicine King, our family followed. We don't know the master's situation."

Li Wei nodded, looked at Liu Ruo and the other three, and said, "Ruo'er, Shui'er, let's find a place to sit. This is on the street, and a group of people standing here will not affect you well."

After hearing Li Wei's words, Liu Ruo and Liu Shui, the two daughters, smiled sweetly at him, came to Li Wei's side, and held Li Wei's hand on the left and right, "Silly brother, the beggar gang is here now!" All the disciples in Shouzhou were killed last night, should we go to Yangzhou now?"

"Well, then, I don't know who is so cruel, why did they kill the disciples of the Shouzhou branch of the Beggar Gang?" Li Wei looked at Liu Ruo and Liu Shui with simple and honest smiles on their faces. .

"Well, the rivers and lakes are in chaos now. Let's go to Yangzhou earlier and find your master, so that we can all be together and we can discuss anything. Silly brother, let's go." Liu Shui hugged Li Wei's Arms, with a happy smile on his face, the appearance of the two women fell into Zhang Yuan's eyes, making Zhang Yuan's face constantly changing. He glared at Li Wei fiercely, and then looked at the other girls. place.

When the six of them walked to the gate of the city together, they were told by the officers and soldiers that due to the homicide incident last night, the entire Shouzhou City is now under martial law, allowing people to enter and not to leave. No one was seen leaving the city.

"This official, we are all honest people. Now we have to go back to our hometown in Yangzhou to visit relatives. Please, gentlemen, please make it easier." Zhang Jing came to the officers and soldiers, and secretly put a small bag of broken silver into the In the hands of the team.

"This is like this! Dude, this matter is really difficult! We dare not disobey the order of the magistrate. Besides, the murder case last night was too serious. More than 200 people died. If the magistrate knows that I If you let the six of you go out of the city privately, I'm afraid." The team is looking at Zhang Jing with bright eyes. This opportunity, which came so hard, if he doesn't make some money, he will be too sorry for himself. There is money to be made, once there is an opportunity, who would foolishly let go of this rare opportunity!
"It's troublesome, no one will know about this." Zhang Jing put another ingot of about two taels of silver in the hands of the captain, and the captain smiled and ordered his subordinates to let the six of them go.

"Uncle Zhang, why did you give money to that officer and soldier just now?" Liu Shui saw what Zhang Jing and the officer and soldier had done, and after leaving Shouzhou City, he finally stopped talking.

"Second Miss, I just don't want to delay your trip. If not, then we can only leave Shouzhou City after the ban is lifted. There is such a big murder case in Shouzhou City. I don't think it will take ten days and half a month. It’s impossible to get rid of the ban, heh! Heh! It’s like this in Jianghu. Generally, no one has conflicts with the court. It’s better to spend money to solve things. Two ladies, uncle, let’s go to Yangzhou now , these days, as far as I know, the entire Tang Dynasty is very unsafe, the Jianghu has become a mess, many branches of the Beggar Gang have been wiped out by people of unknown origin, and when Lu Liu was in Yangzhou, he was also killed by people. I was plotted against, and I was hit by a rotting bone needle. So far, the poison in my body has not been forced out! The beggar gang has had a lot of troubles this year! We rushed to Yangzhou earlier to see the people there. According to the old slave's estimate, this time the Rotten Bones Sect came back out of the rivers and lakes, probably for the revenge of various factions in the rivers and lakes to encircle and suppress the Rotten Bones Gate more than 50 years ago. Miss, look, this is the Rotten Bones that the old slave got not long ago Needle, the old slave has studied it, and the poison on the rotten bone needle seems to be much stronger than that of 50 years ago, and the rotten bone needle in the hands of a first-class master probably won't last for three days." Zhang Jing put himself in the woods He took out a rotting bone needle that he had collected, and carefully placed it in Liu Ruo's hand.

Liu Ruo wrapped the Rotten Bone Needle into his bosom, and said, "When I have time, I'll find a safe place to study it. It's getting late now, so let's hurry up and try to reach Yangzhou as soon as possible."

"Well, the eldest lady, the second lady, uncle, and the old servant's family will leave first, and we will follow behind you secretly."

"Uncle Zhang, Aunt Gao, aren't you going to stay with us?" Liu Shui's eyes were filled with reluctance. They had just met, and they were about to separate without saying a few words.

"Second Miss, it's inconvenient for us to walk together, we should separate. Don't worry, we will join you when we arrive in Yangzhou." Gao Feifei walked to Zhang Jing's side, and the three of them clasped their hands together and left. .

"Really, we just met and separated." Liu Shui pouted.

"Shui'er, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Gao are right. Let's go separately, and the goal is small. If something happens, we can support each other." Liu Ruo patted Liu Shui on the shoulder, and the three of them headed towards Yangzhou start in the direction.
