The little flag officer who came to report bowed and clasped his fists, saluted and then began to report, "Sir, under the wise leadership of Ling Baihu, the brothers have been working all night, running around, wearing stars and moons, soaking in the rain and wind... Living up to expectations, we are finally here.
…”
????
The faces of all the hundreds of households and Wei Wuxian were confused when they heard this. They were so angry that they almost cursed at their mothers. How did Ling Yu teach his subordinates after this? How long have they been here?
This set, fuck!!!
But what is unexpected is that the words of the two hundred households who had just argued the most fiercely were still in their throats, but Wei Wuxian, who had been silent here, was the first to speak.
"You are so fucking ignorant! Tell me the key points!!!"
Wei Wuxian, who had always been polite and serious, startled a lot of people by scolding him so suddenly.
The confused subordinates in front were so frightened that they didn't react for a while. Seeing that Wei Wuxian was about to speak again, he quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead and said hesitantly, "I'm sorry, Lord Qianhu, my subordinates and brothers.
We, when we were investigating a fishing village by the river this morning, we accidentally learned from a fisherman that a group of outsiders came to rent a large fishing boat from them a few days ago. They said they liked fishing and wanted to catch golden spear darts on the river. But
Except for docking twice, the boat has been floating on the river for several days and has not moved!"
After listening to the report, several hundred households looked at Wei Wuxian.
It was Wei Wuxian who asked first, "How many people are on this fishing boat? Is it near the north bank or the south bank?"
"The fishing boat moves south and north, but does not move too far and just wanders in that fixed section of water. As for how many people are on the boat, it is not clear yet. I guess there must be more than a dozen. Several of our brothers are already on the river.
We are keeping an eye on the fishing boat. Before I arrived, the fishing boat was still like this, very calm. Occasionally, I could see people moving on the deck and fishing!"
As soon as the flag officer who reported the report finished speaking, everyone in the room had the same voice in their hearts: Found it!!!
"Sir, if you can't run away, it should be them."
"Yes! Sir, this golden spear is not an easy thing to catch. All the old fishermen on Jinlin's shore can't catch dozens of fish in a year, not to mention they are outsiders and they can't catch fish for several days.
Land? Is it possible that there really is a fish nest in that area? Their behavior is extremely weird, there must be something wrong with this group of people!"
As soon as the two hundred households who had just been arguing opened their mouths, the others followed suit.
The matter has become very clear. After three days of comprehensive investigation, no matter whether this group of people is the person they are looking for, it is worth going. For such a big case and there are few clues, I would rather kill the wrong person than let it go!
Wei Wuxian nodded, took a deep breath, gathered all his strength and energy, and commanded, "No matter what, we have to try, we can't afford to delay the safety of the hostages."
This should be the first priority! Order to go ahead and divide one-third of the troops from the south and north of the Yangtze River to secretly gather in this section of the river. In order to prevent their spies from being in the city, let the brothers spread out and not be exposed. Others, continue
The sergeant accompanying Mr. Dugu conducts the search. On the town government side, some people are left as normal. The rest immediately join me in batches and secretly go to the riverside for deployment. Every household must be notified in place before it can be executed without any mistakes.
!
"No!!!" All the households clasped their fists together, then lined up neatly in two rows and stood aside.
Wei Wuxian walked around the table and walked towards the Jin Yiwei who came to report. He whispered a few words in his ear.
After receiving the order, the flag officer rushed away.
Wei Wuxian watched him leave the courtyard, then turned back to face everyone in the room.
"Now, let's start arranging various ministries..."
………………
At the home of the Shen brothers and sisters, Shen Qiye first circled back to the scene of the crime, confirmed the unusual traces, and then hurried back home.
He jumped over the wall with a single stride, rushed into his room and put on the black Feiyu suit. After some fiddling, Shen Qiye hung the long knife on his body, and then took out his pair of black iron gloves from under the bed in the room. .
Dark iron gloves are specially made to fit Shen Qiye's own martial arts practice. The inside is densely woven with dark iron wires, and the outside is covered with scales the size of fingernails. The pieces are inlaid together, and on the key back of the hand, there are It is made of three thin black iron rods as the spine, and then covered with two rows of thicker and larger scales, which can be used for blocking and defense. The most delicate part is the five fingers and the palm of the hand. The fingertips are one by one. The solid cone-shaped iron tip, with the blessing of internal force, this claw is comparable to the claws of a tiger and the paw of a bear. It is very powerful. With the domineering skills of Shang Shen Qiye, one punch and one palm can directly break wood and gravel. The palm is in order to maintain It is flexible. Although it is not inlaid with scales, it is covered with three layers of black wire mesh. As long as the internal strength is deep, it can take the edge of the sword. The claws and iron fists have various attacks, and the scales can also hit weapons. If used properly, it can even be used directly in a fight. It can be regarded as a strange weapon to lock the opponent's weapon and gain the upper hand. A pair of gloves, the inner layer is made of a series of superb craftsmanship such as filigree, silk tapestry and code wire, and the outer layer is made of hundreds of refined steel. The scales are inlaid together tightly, and what's even more terrifying is that the inner silk mesh can't find a joint. This is a truly ingenious and top-notch magic weapon.
When Shen Qiye got it for the first time, he was deeply impressed by its superb production craftsmanship. As a man of two generations, he originally thought that he was looking at this technologically backward feudal empire with the eyes of civilization, the eyes of the future, but he never thought It turns out that I am the frog in the well. The wisdom of the ancients is beyond my imagination.
It's just a pity that the maker of this strange weapon is now in Shu. He is a master named Mo. He doesn't like the world and lives in seclusion in a remote mountain village. It was only because of the favor of his elder brother that the three of them were able to obtain this weapon. A magic weapon made by his own hands. And if you really want to say it, this is the most valuable thing in the family of the three brothers and sisters.
Shen Qiye hurriedly took the weapons and items from the room and ran to the other side of the room, ready to inform his little sister. But he was so reckless that he pushed the door open, and a scent of fragrance hit his nostrils. , and then I saw that scene that made people’s blood boil.
On the big wooden bed, Shen Xiaoyu was sleeping soundly while hugging the quilt. As soon as Shen Qiye opened the door, he saw her hugging the quilt with half of her body exposed. Her face was slightly red and her eyes were locked, but she didn't know. Is it because it's too hot or some weird dream? Even in her sleep, she still pouted her cute little mouth, with fragrant shoulders and jade arms. A pink belt was tied around her slender neck. Under the belt was a small pink bellyband covering her chest. There are delicate cherry blossoms embroidered on it, especially the two on the white group that is beginning to take shape. They rise and fall slightly with the breathing, like double cherry blossoms blown by the wind. Shen Qiye was dazzled. Although the white ball was covered, Xiaoyuer happened to be sleeping on his side, and Shen Qiye saw the white and greasy jade rabbit that he shouldn't have seen through the narrow gap. What was even worse was the scorching heat of summer. , she took off all her clothes, lying on the bed without wearing anything, her white jade legs holding the quilt, one hanging outside and one underneath, a large area of white flowers, when the door was opened, the light shone on it The light shone so brightly that Shen Qiye's eyes could no longer see anything.
"hiss!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
What blinds our eyes? It’s light!!!
Shen Qiye's internal energy circulation was different from that of ordinary people, and now his energy and blood were surging, and his internal energy was in chaos. He almost couldn't catch his breath, hurriedly closed the door, turned around and gave himself two big mouths.
"Hey Shen Qiye!!! That's your sister!!! You're a beast in clothes, what are you thinking?!" These two slaps had no power, and the pain on his face almost woke him up. He hurriedly Adjust your breathing, stabilize your inside and outside, and force yourself to forget the scene just now. Your breath has stabilized, but the burning sensation in your body has not diminished at all.
Two crisp sounds finally woke up Shen Xiaoyu, who was sleeping soundly.
"Second brother?!" He had just woken up, but he was still in a dazed and confused state. This voice was even more soft and soft, like a little cat that was reluctant to be woken up.
But when Shen Qiye heard this sound, his body trembled.
He coughed twice and replied, "Xiaoyu, the second brother just found some clues. He has to go to the town government office to find Mr. Qianhu. He has to go out first, so you should have a good rest at home first! Let's go there after dinner in the afternoon. Shift change."
"Is there any news about the thief? Well, then I will go with my second brother."
Shen Xiaoyu knew that his brother felt sorry for him and wanted to rest for a while, but the brother and sister were united, and Shen Xiaoyu couldn't bear the pain of his brother alone, so he hurriedly got up and dressed.
But she was only halfway through wearing it when she tilted her little head and said "Huh?!"
But when I think about it carefully, I forget what I just thought of.
Maybe I just woke up! I’m so confused!
He patted his face with his little hands to wake himself up a little, and didn't stop moving his hands.
Shen Qiye couldn't see his sister's movements through the door, but as soon as she finished speaking, there was a rustling sound in the room.
………………
After everything was arranged, the Jinlin Town Prefecture Si Yamen's Jinyi Guards were out in force, ready to round up those suspicious "outsiders!"
Several hundred households had already rushed to the riverside in batches to make arrangements, and the last batch of people was Wei Wuxian.
Lu Baihu on Zhuque Street outside the town government office has already brought the horse over. "Sir, Commander Wen is already on his way back. He is expected to return to Jinlin tomorrow night. Should we wait for Lord Wen to arrive?" Arrest again?"
Wei Wuxian walked in front, lowered his head and thought again and again. After walking out of the grand gate, he took the reins from Lu Wenzhao and replied, "Time waits for me, and the opportunity must not be missed. This case involves a lot, and there are many doubts. If it continues, I will risk it." There has been a change. Moreover, Master Bai has received the news and has rushed to the river in person. Master Bai has personally supervised the battle and cannot delay it any longer."
"That's right. After all, the hostage is the wife of Jinlin Fuyin. We can't think too much about it and we can't make any more plans." Lu Wenzhao answered and helped Wei Wuxian onto the horse.
Wei Wuxian sat on the horse with his hips raised, the whip raised high, and when he was about to swing the whip, it stopped in mid-air. He turned around and explained again:
"Wen Zhao, please immediately send a letter to the commander to inform the commander of our actions. Running back and forth like this is too difficult for the commander. We must first make Mr. Wen feel at ease."
"Yes!" Lu Wenzhao clasped his fists and accepted the order, stepped aside and got out of the way.
Wei Wuxian lowered his whip, and the horse beneath him neighed, resounding throughout the long street.
Behind him was a group of weird cavalry, complete with armor and swords, but all in black. Their faces were covered with iron masks, and they had no appearance. They carried the same weird black equipment on their backs, and they followed in a neat line. The other side of Zhuque Street.
But before the team had taken a few steps, two black figures suddenly jumped out and blocked the team's path.
"My lord, please stay! I have something important to report. This matter is of great urgency! My lord, please stay!" The visitors were none other than Shen Qiye and Shen Xiaoyu. They hurried over and just entered Zhuque Street when they heard a burst of noise from afar. There was a crisp sound of horse hooves, and then the leader Wei Wuxian and the dark Ye Buyu were seen.
The horse neighed again, Wei Wuxian pulled the reins and stared at the two of them, "Shen Qiye, Shen Xiaoyu! Why are you two blocking my way!? Do you know that the case is important, why don't you help investigate it, but here you are?" This is so wobbly!"
Shen Qiye quickly pulled his sister to bend down and clasp her fists, and argued, "Sir, the area we are responsible for has been investigated and nothing abnormal has been found. The brothers are currently taking a rest. However, my subordinates made new discoveries at the crime scene. Please forgive me for blocking your way in relation to this major kidnapping case. Please listen to my words..."
"Okay!!! Okay, you should tell me carefully what you discovered. If you can't tell me one, two, three, I will show you today!!" Wei Wuxian barely suppressed his anger, extremely unhappy He replied patiently, already thinking about how to punish these two incompetent men who almost missed his big event.
After receiving permission, Shen Qiye hurriedly told his findings and guesses in detail without any hesitation. Of course, he omitted the part about finding a fortune teller.
"Absurd!!! The gangsters have been found on the river in the north of the city!! And if the gangster hid in the inner city, wouldn't he have thrown himself into a trap?"
"...... Mr. Qianhu, everything I said is true, and I just returned to the scene of the crime to confirm it again. The knife mark is indeed unusual, and there is something fishy about it. It cannot be judged by common sense. , please be more careful, sir!"
Wei Wuxian's expression on the horse became darker and darker the more he listened, and by the end his brows were furrowed and he was holding the reins tightly in his hands.
"You have thought clearly! You are aware of the crime of lying!"
"My subordinate, I am willing to guarantee it with my life. This matter is absolutely true and there is absolutely no lie!"
When Shen Qiye said this again, Wei Wuxian became even more confused. He believed Shen Qiye, but he also believed in Ling Baihu and the other brothers.
Wei Wuxian got to where he is today by hunting wolves and chasing deer. He has fought against many people in the world. He naturally knows that everyone can use flying knives, but it is not that difficult to do it well. But, after all, This is just speculation and inference, and there is no other actual evidence. Shen Qiye's guess and inference are very reasonable. However, the mysterious group of outsiders on the river actually exist, and after a thorough investigation, no relevant information has been found. The road guide also showed that this group of people entered the country secretly.
Whether to believe in conclusive evidence or an unconfirmed inference, a discerning person can make a decision at once.
The sun was shining in the sky, but the Suzaku Street was extremely silent at the moment. Shen Xiaoyu realized how powerful Ye Buyu was in this rumor. The moment they blocked the road, they only heard the long cry of Wei Wuxian's horse. , but the fifty horses behind them were as silent as their masters. They also stopped immediately, but without making any sound.
It was the same at this moment. It was as quiet as the night, silent, as if no one existed. Shen Xiaoyu even doubted whether there was a living person under the black iron mask? Otherwise, how could it be so quiet? It seemed that even the sound of breathing could not be heard. Can't hear.
Standing in front of them at noon in July, it seemed like they were the only three living people on this long street. The usually hot sun had lost its temperature, and the air was only filled with chill and coldness.
For big and small matters, someone always has to make the decision, someone has to push the wheel of history. In his position, only Wei Wuxian can make this decision. Even though he doesn't know how things will develop, Wei Wuxian still believes in his own judgment. .
"Okay, we have enough manpower on the river bank. I will give you twenty nights of riding! Today is the limit. If you can't find the thief, then come to me!!! Let's go!" Leave this sentence, Wei Wuxian stopped lingering and rode away, heading straight to the river. This chapter has been completed!
