Swords into the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 113 - Separated
"Master Zhang, I, Hu Hu, am not a person who doesn't repay kindness. I have never shortchanged you in these years." Seeing Zhang Siwei's unquestionable look, Hu Hu knew that there was no room for turning back, so he immediately
He put away his flattering look just now.
Zhang Siwei heard the threat in Hu Hu's words and sneered: "Oh? Do you have witnesses or physical evidence to accuse me?"
"In the summer of the thirteenth year of Qi Yun, the Weiwei Escort Bureau was robbed, and Mr. Zhang received one thousand taels."
"In the summer of the thirteenth year of Qi Yun, I robbed a passing grain merchant and Mr. Zhang got eight hundred taels."
"In the autumn of the thirteenth year of Qi Yun, a wealthy merchant's family was robbed. Mr. Zhang received five thousand taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver."
Gu Xiao was hiding aside, and was stunned when he heard these evil things. He felt that the anger in his chest could no longer be suppressed, but he still suppressed the desire in his heart to take action to end the lives of these two people, because Gu Xiao
Xiao knew that the time had not come yet, so he suppressed his anger and continued to listen.
"Sir Zhang, do you need me to remind you again?" Having broken his heart, Hu Hu was no longer polite to Zhang Siwei. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Zhang Siwei's face turned livid and his hands became slow.
He slowly reached for the saber at his waist.
"What? Master Zhang still wants to take action?" Hu Hu looked at Zhang Siwei with a sneer and continued: "If I take action, Master Zhang may not be my opponent, but even if Siwei takes my life tonight, I'm afraid.
The next day, the news about Mr. Zhang accepting money will reach the ears of the Chief Protector, Sicheng."
When Zhang Siwei heard this, he thought about it again and again, and the hand that reached for the long knife at his waist slowed down. Then, Zhang Siwei's slightly angry voice with clenched teeth and Hu Hu's slightly proud answer were heard secretly in the cell next door.
Gu Xiao heard it.
"what do you want."
"Since Mr. Siwei said, I won't bother you. Allow me three days to clean up everything in Lingzhou. I will leave on my own and I will never leave any trouble for you."
After a period of silence, Gu Xiao heard Zhang Siwei reply in a deep voice: "Okay, just three days. After three days, I will lead people to inspect the Haw Leopard Escort Agency."
"This person's body..." Hu Hu pointed at Liu Yi's body on the ground. After all, this is the person his younger brother entrusted him to find in Lingzhou. Now he can't stay in Lingzhou City any longer, so he can only go to Shanxi Quefeng to meet his younger brother.
Falling grass together.
But after all, this man was entrusted to his younger brother by the people on the mountain. Even if his death is blamed on Zhang Siwei, if he can take the body away, he can shirk the responsibility.
"These people, don't bother Mr. Hu. I will dispose of his body. Of course, those people in your bodyguard will give me an excuse, right?" Zhang Siwei is not stupid. He will do it himself.
I had Hu Hu for three days, just in time to use the lives of these people to silence the mysterious man.
Gu Xiao listened for a long time and heard the footsteps of Hu Hu and Zhang Siwei leaving. Gu Xiao hurriedly stepped into the next cell to check on Liu Yi's body. He saw that the blood flowing out of his mouth and nose had turned dark red and black.
It's exactly the symptoms of being poisoned by strong poison.
Convinced that the evil Mr. Liu was dead, Gu Xiao couldn't help but secretly thought about the cruelty of the guard. When Gu Xiao was checking the body, he heard the footsteps of two people coming towards the cell again.
Gu Xiao quickly turned around and hid in the cell where he had just been hiding. After hiding the general, he heard the voice of Zhang Siwei from next door ordering his cronies: "Hurry up and transport this man's body out of the city overnight and find a mass grave."
, buried the matter."
Gu Xiao knew that there was no need to investigate any further. Seeing that the two of them were concentrating on handling Liu Yi's body, he immediately got up and slipped out of the cell, heading towards the roof where Lin'er was hiding.
In the dead of winter in the twelfth lunar month, Lin'er was hiding on the roof of the prison of the Duhu Division. Fortunately, he was holding Ta Xue in his arms, so he wouldn't shiver from the cold. Ta Xue actually enjoyed it and didn't make any sound in Lin'er's arms. Wait.
After about half an hour, Gu Xiao was still nowhere to be seen, but he saw a man dressed as a guard emerging from the cell just now, hurriedly walking out of the gate of the Protectorate Division and heading east.
"It's so late, the Protectorate Department still has cases to investigate?" Lin'er thought doubtfully, and after waiting for another cup of tea, Gu Xiao was still nowhere to be seen. Lin'er couldn't help but feel a little worried, and was about to get up to check, when she heard that
There was the sound of clothes hanging beside him, and he looked sideways, and it was Gu Xiao who went to investigate.
"What, what did you find?" Seeing Gu Xiao's solemn expression, Lin'er knew that things were not that simple.
"Do you still remember that person standing next to Chi Qianren on the Lingzhou boundary monument and Brother Shen's small tower peak that day?" Gu Xiao asked.
"Of course I remember, what happened?" Lin'er was certainly impressed by Hu Bao who rolled down the hillside to break up the fight.
"If I'm not wrong, the chief bodyguard of the Tiger and Leopard Escort Agency has a close relationship with the mountain bandit leader named Hu. These two people have been colluding with Zhang Siwei all year round." Gu Xiao said in a low voice.
"This is indeed what you and I expected." Lin'er was not surprised when she heard the news. But what Gu Xiao said next surprised Lin'er.
"I don't know who the big man in the restaurant was. After talking with the big man's guards, Zhang Siwei poisoned Liu Yi to death in prison." Gu Xiao frowned and thought.
"You mean Liu Yi is dead?" Lin'er said in surprise.
"That's right, we don't need to track down the Hubao Escort Bureau anymore. We should hurry up and tell Brother Tianya the news about Lingzhou. I'm afraid that during the interception, Chi Qianbian will have the help of these people from the Hubao Escort Bureau. Brother Tianya
You will suffer a loss." Gu Xiao thought of Zhang Siwei asking Hu Hu to defect to the mountain just now, and immediately thought that once Hu Hu and the people of Hutou Village merged with the people of Hutou Village, on the day of the interception, even if they were to switch sides, the difference in numbers would be too big.
We can't take advantage either.
Lin'er hurriedly said: "Even if we have to inform Brother Tianya, the city gate is closed now, how can we get out of the city?"
Gu Xiao thought for a moment and came up with a solution, and immediately whispered: "Just now, when I was eavesdropping in the prison, I heard that Siwei Zhang gave the Tiger and Leopard Escort Agency a pass document for leaving the city. While he was still there,
Before we get too far, let’s catch up and grab the pass document and leave the city.”
Lin'er thought for a while and replied: "This is the only method that is feasible at the moment."
Gu Xiao asked again: "Did you just see a guard leaving the cell that I went to investigate in a hurry?"
Lin'er instantly remembered the Duhu Si guard who had just left the Duhu Si gate and headed east, and immediately said, "There is indeed a person heading east."
"That's him, let's chase him quickly."
The two agreed to secretly leave the roof of the prison of the Duhu Division, take advantage of the darkness, follow the sneak route, and jump out of the courtyard wall of the Du Hu Division. Seeing that the guards on duty in front of the door were not aware of it, they immediately chased eastward.
After about a stick of incense, Gu Xiao and Lin'er finally spotted a man wearing the uniform of a guardsman. The man walked towards the city and walked away quickly, while constantly looking back.
In Lingzhou City, even though there was no curfew at night, there were not many pedestrians on the street. Seeing this person constantly looking back, Gu Xiao hurriedly pulled Lin'er and hid behind a shop on the street.
The man looked behind him and didn't notice anything unusual, so he continued on his way. Just when Gu Xiao was about to continue following, he heard Lin'er whisper: "Gu Xiao, someone has been following us."
Following Lin'er's eyes, he slightly moved back and saw a looming figure at the corner of the street. If Lin'er wasn't also good at tracking, he wouldn't have noticed it.
With his brain spinning rapidly, Gu Xiao ruled out the possibility of being discovered by the Protectorate. If he had exposed his whereabouts during the investigation, the Protectorate would have captured him long ago. If not the Protectorate, who could it be?
Seeing Hu Hu walking farther and farther, Gu Xiao had no good way to deal with the person who was following him.
Lin'er saw this and said, "I'll hold this person back while you chase him and get the accompanying documents." After saying that, he turned around.
It's not that Gu Xiao didn't think of this method, but he just didn't know the details of the person who was following him, so he couldn't worry about Lin'er going forward alone. When he saw Lin'er turning around and going to drag the person who was following him, he felt anxious and stretched out his hand to hold Lin'er and said: "
It's too risky. I don't know the details of that person. If something goes wrong, you tell me what to do."
Seeing Lin'er's pretty face flushed, Gu Xiao realized that it was Lin'er's delicate hand that he held in his desperation.
The girl was held by Gu Xiao's hand. She felt that Gu Xiao's palm was warm and dry, as if the weather was no longer so cold. The girl was shy but did not break away from Gu Xiao's palm.
On the contrary, Gu Xiao felt that he had lost his etiquette and quickly withdrew his hand: "I, I'm not, I just think it's too dangerous for you to go alone."
Lin'er saw that Gu Xiao's timid appearance when facing her was completely different from the young knight who visited Liuzhuang that night and was fighting one against two in the Yuelai building. She felt angry and funny, so she withdrew her hand and said: "
Don't worry, I won't fight with him. I just pretend to hold him back without intention so that you can make a move. Don't forget that I still have the Mizong Pill with me. Even the old man named Fei in the robot realm didn't take the Mizong Pill.
Method."
Gu Xiao thought about it and felt that this was the only way to do it at the moment. He caught a glimpse of the man walking to the corner of the street. Without any time to think about it, he stretched out his hand towards Lin'er and said, "Bring it here."
Lin'er was confused: "What do you want?"
"Yuanyangpei, give me half of it. I'll get the documents for leaving the city and come to find you." Gu Xiao said.
With a sweet smile, Lin'er took off the exquisite mandarin duck pendant from his waist, separated one piece and handed half of it to Gu Xiao's hand. Then the two nodded to each other and walked out simultaneously. Gu Xiao followed the trace of the man, and Lin
The son turned around and walked towards the figure at the corner of the street.
The figure at the corner of the street saw the two of them suddenly moving apart. The young man walked quickly towards the corner of the street, while the girl came towards the place where he was hiding. This man obviously did not expect it. He just ducked out and wanted to chase the young man, but instead
He was hit in the arms by the girl who came quickly.
"Ouch." Lin'er fell to the side, and Taxue in his arms jumped to the ground. The milky white hair on his body stood up, and he made a threatening sound of "hiss" at the figure who knocked Lin'er over.
The man caught a glimpse of the girl being knocked to the ground by him, and knew that it was the young man's plan. He had no intention of getting into a fight with the girl, so he started to chase after Gu Xiao.
Only now did Lin'er see clearly that the man who was following Gu Xiao and herself was actually the young guard of the big man who helped Gu Xiao escape during the day. This man had a quiet face and a pair of almond-shaped eyes, which made him look somewhat handsome.
.
Seeing that this person seemed to have no ill intentions, Lin'er quietly put the short blade in her sleeve back into its sheath, turned her almond-shaped eyes, and came up with a way to delay.
"Is there any justice for you, you knocked someone over and ran away instead of apologizing?" The girl angrily scolded this man on the ground. Perhaps she had been walking with Gu Xiao for a long time, and Lin'er also pulled away.
He looked like a child, and started throwing tantrums at the young guard.
Although there were not many pedestrians on the road, they were all attracted by Lin'er. Seeing that the people were surrounding him, Lin'er became even more enthusiastic. He even grabbed the young guard's sleeves and pretended to be a
Looking aggrieved, he spoke to the people who were watching: "Let's judge the little girl. It's freezing and I was going home. This man knocked me over. He didn't even apologize, but he still wanted to leave. Everyone said
Tell me, does this make sense?"
After saying this, Lin'er felt that she was being unreasonable, and it was better to change her face, otherwise it would have been embarrassing. In her heart, Lin'er looked through the crowd and saw that Gu Xiao had caught up with the man and turned to the corner of the street.
, relax.
The people who were watching saw how pitiful the girl was, and they all felt sorry for her. They all criticized the young guard.
Yan Bin is really one of the best. He was ordered by General Wan to follow this young man. Along the way, he saw the two of them secretly investigating the Lingzhou Protectorate Division. If he hadn't been responsible for guarding General Wan, he would have
It was time to take action to capture the two of them.
Seeing that the two men had been following a guard for a long time, Yan Bin's curiosity was piqued by these two men. But just as he was about to continue tracking, the girl bumped into him.
Seeing that the young man was no longer visible, Yan Bin could only sigh and turned around to help the girl. This chapter has been completed!
