The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

Qingxuguan southeast, Jixiang Street.

As the saying goes, this street is not far from Qingxu Temple. Naturally, it mainly deals with incense candle offerings. It was originally called Jixiang Street, but later it was called Jixiang Street for some reason. Down the street.

Klang, kang, kang, kang.

"The sky is dry and everything is dry, watch out for the candles!"

As the fourth watch is approaching, the watchman Zhao Laoshi is holding a lantern in one hand and knocking on the gong hanging from his elbow in the other, but there is some panic in his voice.

When Gein usually passes by an intersection, he can at least echo each other even if he can't see his fellow Ma San, but after he shouted several times today, he was silent everywhere, without a trace of response.

Didn't this Ma San meet the culprit?

Just thinking of this, two dark shadows suddenly popped up in the alley next to him, and Zhao Laoshi fell to the ground without any explanation.

"The hero is forgiving, the hero is forgiving!"

Zhao honestly closed his eyes and exclaimed: "The villain knows the rules, just take what you want, the villain didn't see or hear anything!"

"Special mother!"

But one of them laughed and cursed: "If you can't see or hear anything, do you even want to be a fart?"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Zhao Laoshi still closed his eyes and shouted, "The villain is not as good as a fart. If you ask the good man to lift up the villain, let the villain be a fart!"

"You guy..."

"What nonsense with him!"

The scolding man was still waiting to say something, but the comrade next to him became impatient, stretched out his hand to remove Zhao Laoshi's eyelids, and took advantage of the trend to poke a dark thing in front of him.

"Dragon... Dragon Guardian?!"

Although Zhao Laoshi is illiterate, as a watchman, he is not unfamiliar with the badges of officials. He hurriedly changed his words: "The villain has no eyes but regards the official..."

"To shut up!"

Wang Zhen put his pocket card in his pocket, pulled Zhao Laoshi from the ground, and threatened viciously: "I am supervising the imperial death case. If you dare to scream and alarm the culprits, be careful that I will destroy your whole family!"

Zhao honestly closed his mouth tightly, followed Wang Zhen obediently into the alley next to him.

Only when he got into the alley and used the dim starlight to see the appearance of the headed person, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Green...Master Qingtian?!"

"Your special mother..."

"Zhao honest, right?"

Sun Shaozong raised his hand to stop Wang Zhen's cursing, and smiled kindly: "When we investigated the case last time, we should have met both sides."

Seeing that Sun Shaozong actually remembered his bad name, Zhao Laosan's nasal blisters came out, and he was about to bow his head in fear.

But Sun Shaozong said again: "Now the situation is urgent, and the officer will not tell you the old things. I invite you to come over, because I want you to wait to help me capture the culprits of the White Lotus Sect."

Only then did Zhao Laoshi discover that besides himself, Ma San and Ruyifang's watchman Wang Tiezhu were also standing not far away.

And when I heard that they were trying to help capture the Bailian Sect thief, the three watchmen were all pale and trembling. They neither dared to respond nor refused.

"Don't worry, this official won't let you take risks with your own body, you only need to hide away and work hard."

Sun Shaozong relieved the three of them, and when their fear faded a little, Zhao Laoshi led the way to Jixiang Road, a family next to Youfang Gate in Chahe.

Seeing that Zhao Laoshi was ordered to call the door, Wang Zhen held a single-handedly on the side, but couldn't help but questioned: "My lord, although this oil mill is not small, if you want to hide more than 20 thieves, I'm afraid..."

"Who said the culprit was in the oil mill?"

Sun Shaozong asked rhetorically, seeing that the oil mill had already opened its door, he stepped in.

"Hey, you guy..."

"Shhh! Don't yell!"

"Are you blind? You can't even recognize Sun Qingtian from Shuntian Mansion!"

The shop clerk who opened the door was waiting to be stopped, but was stopped long ago by the three watchmen.

Sun Shaozong arrived in the courtyard unimpeded, about to recognize the direction, and led Wang Zhen and others straight to the back door, lowered the latch, pushed the door panel left and right, and pointed to a brightly lit place across the river: "Where is the culprit hiding?"

Wang Zhen took a look at the pergola, and suddenly blurted out, "Is each other?! No wonder it can accommodate more than 20 thieves, but there is no sound of wind!"

This is the four characters ‘xiangruiyimo’.

Yu husband and wife are not forsaking, and Yu brothers are for helping each other.

But if you mention these four words in Qingxuguan Zuojin, it must refer to the famous Xianggu Pavilion by the Chahe River.

Legend has it that this "Aunt Li, the proprietor of "Xianghuiyimo", was born with a pair of eyes. With two layers of cotton trousers on the street, she can see how men are worth, so there are many talented generations under her.

In addition, two great tantric lamas have been hired as spear and stick instructors, and the elephants under their banners can be said to be both internal and external, and they are all good at ‘blow, pull, and taste’.

And this "Xianglu Yimo" is divided into two courtyards, the front and rear courtyards, the outside is no different from other homes, open the door to entertain male guests from all directions, do some guns and sticks to make a living.

The inner courtyard was specially set up for the rich and grieving wives.

In view of women visiting the prostitutes, it is inevitable that there will be all kinds of scruples and pressures, so this "Xianglu Yimo" Xianggu Pavilion was specially built on a peninsula surrounded by water on three sides.

Every night, there will be five or six willow-leaf awning boats that shuttle back and forth on the two-foot-wide river, bringing in the female guests who come to patronize.

Except for a few mavericks, the female guests mostly cover their faces with scarves and masks, and the canoe and boats are all night, it can be said that they are both motivated by each other, but also forgotten in the rivers and lakes.

It is precisely because of this that the backyard of this neighbor has always been a mystery, and it is difficult for outsiders to get a glimpse of it unless it is introduced by regular customers.

But said that the night four had just passed.

In a small secluded building in the backyard of Xianggu Pavilion, the famous Aunt Li was pacing back and forth, and the swaying candlestick became restless.

"Lord Li Xiang."

Someone in the corner couldn't see it, and couldn't help but speak, "If there is anything important, I might as well invite the Venerable back now."

"No no no!"

Then Aunt Li hurriedly waved her hand and said, "It's so easy to meet a suitable woman who can let his old man entertain him. How can I disturb him at this time?"

"Humph!"

There was another snorted in the slanting down, stretched out his body like a bear, raised his fist and smiled: "In my opinion, it's the old sister, you've been in the capital for a long time, and you have forgotten how to teach the people below if it's in Shaanxi. North, any cultists who dare to be so disrespectful, I, Liu Junbao, must tear him alive!"

Aunt Li gave a wry smile when she heard the words, but didn't catch his words. She just braced her neck and kept looking out.

Liu Jun’s title of “holding the sky with one hand”, relying on his bravery to cross the Northwest Green Forest, is the number one defender of the White Lotus Sect. Originally, he didn’t put this class of women in his eyes. At this time, he saw that Aunt Li did not treat himself. If you ignore it, your heart will immediately become annoyed.

"Old sister."

Just listen to him sneered and said: "Why don't you tell me the identity of that person, how about brothers discipline and discipline for you?"

This has violated Aunt Li's taboo. Although the person is somewhat difficult to control, she is her trump card. How can we allow others to watch?

She sank her face and was about to hit Liu Junbao with words to let him know whose site it was, but she heard someone outside the door scolded: "Presumptuous! You can ask about this too?!"

Before he finished his words, I saw a thin old man stepping in and yelling with a sinking face: "The identity of'Bing San' is a secret in the teachings. In the future, it will be you, except for the leader and the leader. Except for Li Xiang, even the old man can't ask him about his identity!"

Although Liu Junbao was unruly and rebellious, he softened his spine in front of the old man. After listening to his lesson obediently, he smiled and said, "Master, I..."

The old man raised his hand to signal that he needn't say much, then turned his head to look at Aunt Li, and solemnly said: "Lord Li Xiang, you have gathered everyone up so late, but what important news do you have?"

This person is Ge Zhan, the deputy head of the White Lotus Sect. Because of his high morals and respect, he is not under the head of the leader, so most people call him the Venerable.

"Venerable Enlightenment."

Aunt Li cautiously said: "There was a word from Bing San, saying that he hoped that the brothers who came to Beijing should be careful, and it is best to temporarily stop activities, at least until he sends his pregnant wife away, and then...and..."

Seeing Ge Zhe's complexion getting more and more gloomy, she quickly closed the words below, and knelt down and said: "It's all incompetence of subordinates, and Bing San, who indulges in such madness and rudeness!"

"none of your business."

Ge Zhe slowly shook his head, and said with a serious face: "The old saying goes,'When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people are in the spotlight, there will be no disciples.' The people below have their own little abacus, which is understandable."

After a pause, he said again: "Let's pass a message to him for me. The search for the saint will not be delayed for a day, but the deity can arrange for the brother in the teaching to **** his wife out of the capital."

This is obviously to take the other's wife as a hostage!

Aunt Li secretly cried out in her heart, but did not dare to disobey Ge Zhan's instructions. She was just waiting to bite the bullet and take her orders. Suddenly, someone rushed towards her, she bowed and reported: "Venerable Enlightenment, an oil mill on the other side of the river is walking. It's water..."

Ge Zhe was upset. He even ran over to report this trivial matter. He couldn't help but scolded: "Absurd! The fire on the other side of the river has nothing to do with us?"

The visitor hurriedly explained: "The store dumped the burning oil urn into the river. Right now the surface of the river was half red. Our two secret guards on the river patrolled the river and abandoned the boat and fled to the shore. "

"Lord Wang Xiang feels that the fire is a bit strange, so that the little one asks the venerable, but should he send someone to the other side to find out?"

Ge Zhe's brow furrowed deeper, and he took a few steps outside, but saw that with just a few words, most of the sky outside was dyed red by the fire.

Sure enough, something strange!

Tonight is just a breeze, even if the oil mill is burning, it should not spread so quickly.

"Liu Junbao!"

Ge Zhe immediately ordered: "I'll go to the back door to find out, you stay here to gather everyone!"

Without waiting for Liu Jun to respond, he already strode towards the back door.

When Aunt Li and the others saw this, they followed him busy.

Seeing the front, several people greeted him in a panic. The one headed was the Lord Wang Xiang. He didn't even care to evade anything. He yelled directly, "Sir, this fire is probably directed at us." Yes! Several oil mills on the opposite side are pouring oil into the river, and throwing a lot of bedding and furniture down..."

Ge Zhe's complexion became more and more gloomy, and he passed Wang Xiangzhu and the others without saying a word, and went outside the door to take a look, only to see the two-foot-wide river surface, almost occupied by the raging flames, and the entire Xianggu Pavilion was It seemed to be surrounded by a dancing fire dragon.

Klang, kang, kang...

I heard the gongs on the other side beating constantly, but they were not shouting slogans to fight fires, but: "The master of governance has an order, and everything damaged tonight will be given twice the compensation. If there is a Tibetan privateer, Treat it as a thief!"

Sure enough, those eagles caught Sun coming to the door!

Ge Zhe couldn't help but groan secretly in his heart. Originally, he led the crowd to hide in this Xianggu Pavilion. First, holding the idea of ​​being dark under the lamp, he felt that the government would not think that he had the guts to stay nearby.

Secondly, it is coveting that there are three sides of the river here, and it can be justified to arrange guards, which is convenient for shielding the government's guards, and it is convenient to use the river to hide at any time.

I never thought that the imperial eagle dog was so hot, and directly used tung oil to start the fire, and blocked the ten-foot-long section of the river!

It’s also that Aunt Li doesn’t know where to choose a place. It’s not good to be next to each other, but to be next to Jixiang Street, where there are seven or eight shops selling lamp oil and scented oil...

"Venerable."

At this time, Lord Wang Xiang chased him and said with an earthy face: "What do you think we should do now? I don't know which one has leaked the wind..."

"Now, what do you still say about this?!"

Ge Zhe turned his head and said angrily: "Let everyone take the'please **** pill' and kill with me!"

With that, he turned and turned back to the original road of Xiaolou.

Aunt Li, Wang Xiangzhu, and others were a little frightened when they heard the words "please bear the gods", but they didn't dare to say anything, they could only put their own thoughts on the back.

Seeing Xiaolou near by, Liu Junbao had already greeted him with an open flame holding a staff, holding a half-foot-long Pudao, grinning and said: "Master, don't say anything, the disciple opened the way in front of him. With..."

While talking, a pair of disturbed wild mandarin ducks pushed the door out. Seeing this scene, they turned around in fright and wanted to retract back into the courtyard, but Liu Junbao caught up with him with a healthy walk, and cut them off with a knife. Four paragraphs!

He shook his hand lightly, shook off the blood on the knife, and then continued: "Keep and protect Master, you kill!"

"it is good!"

Ge Zhe took the single-handed shot thrown by his subordinates. Seeing that his apprentice was like this, he was proud of him, and said: "You and me, master and apprentice today, will kill in this capital..."

Boom~!

The word'Jie' has not yet been exported. First, there was a loud noise from Erdaomen's neighbourhood, followed by a roar that resembled thunder: "Sun Shaozong of Shuntian Mansion was ordered to arrest Bailian for rebelling against the party, everyone Stay in the same place and don’t move rashly. Anyone who violates it will be killed!"

In the capital for a long time, Ge Zhe had naturally heard of Sun Shaozong's name, and he knew that it is hard to be good today.

He never thought that Sun Shaozong had only four subordinates [remaining two on the other side], so he hurriedly ordered everyone to take the pill, and then took the drinks to administer the medicine, and then raised his arms and shouted: "Milera is born, King Ming is born!" "

"Mitreya was born, King Ming was born!"

"Mitreya was born, King Ming was born!"

All the comrades raised their arms and echoed, and with just a few screams, a red and blood color appeared on everyone's face.

Seeing that the fire was about to come, Ge Zhe winked, and Liu Jun let out a cry: "Kill the dog officer, enjoy peace!"

He picked up the Pudao and rushed out with the crowd.
