But Guan Xiaohong left the inn and walked eastward, leaving Diecui Town. Coming to the outskirts, the bright yellow grass on the ground is sparse and bright, like light smoke, which makes people happy to see it. There was no more Hu Longhai's chatter in her ears, and she felt even more refreshed.
The sky is clear, and rays of sunshine like golden threads shine on the earth. She started flying in the wilderness with Qinggong, and suddenly the sound of horse hooves came from behind her head. Guan Xiaohong twisted her waist and stood on a tree. The passengers on the horse were none other than Bai Ruoxuan and Archie.
When Bai Ruoxuan saw it was Guan Xiaohong, she hurriedly reined in the horse and said with a smile, "What a coincidence. Sister, where are you going? I'll give you a ride, sister." Guan Xiaohong said, "May I ask where you are going, sister?" Bai Ruoxuan said. He said: "I originally planned to go back to the Salt Gang, but now I have one more thing to do. Little sister, why are you here alone?"
Guan Xiaohong jumped down from the tree, walked up and complained: "My Uncle Hu is annoyingly tight. He says eight hundred sentences a day without me: The world is dangerous, and people's hearts are even more dangerous. He doesn't eat well, and he can't sleep well." Not fragrant.
So I got rid of him and went out to play by myself. My sister lives in Yangang. I have never been there. Will my sister take me there? Bai Ruoxuan pretended to hesitate and said: "This... I'm afraid this is inappropriate. That Mr. Hu is your elder, so naturally you will follow him when you go out."
I think it's better for us to send you back to him so that he won't miss you. Furthermore, although you are a little girl who knows some martial arts, you are still far from being able to make it in the world. "
What she said was very clever. On the surface, she was trying to persuade her, but in fact, it was irritating her. She had already figured out Guan Xiaohong's character. This trick of playing hard to get was naturally performed without leaving any trace, and the so-called chance encounter was naturally arranged long ago. With Guan Xiaohong's experience in the world, she wouldn't be able to see through it, not to mention that she has been angry with Hu Longhai in the past few days.
Guan Xiaohong said: "Sister, you also look down on me?" Bai Ruoxuan smiled and said: "How could it be? I was just thinking, it's a pity that I don't have a lovable girl like you, otherwise it would be a pleasure for me and her to be together ." Guan Xiaohong was praised and said: "Sister is not only beautiful but also sweet in speech. I think if you don't mind, let me go with you.
Uncle Hu also said that the Salt Gang is a big gang in the world, and I am very lucky to meet someone like my sister. If you can walk with your sister, you will be able to broaden your horizons and increase your knowledge. I don’t know what my sister thinks? "
Bai Ruoxuan was delighted to see her falling for the bait so easily, but she pretended to be arrogant on her face: "This... I'm afraid your parents and elders must agree to this. Otherwise, sister, even if I am a hundred willing, it will inevitably lead to criticism in the end." ." Guan Xiaohong curled her lips and said, "After all, sister still makes me happy."
At this time, Ali got off his horse and interrupted: "Young Master, I see that this little girl is very popular with you, so just agree to her. Leave that matter to my subordinates. I will see you after I finish the matter." . It’s rare to go out to Huizhou Prefecture, and it’s rare for you to meet new friends. Wouldn’t it be a pity not to take a trip?
As for Uncle Hu, why don't I go say hello, so that the elders can feel relieved. What do you think? Before Bai Ruoxuan opened her mouth, Guan Xiaohong smiled and said, "This uncle's method is the most appropriate." Sister, can you just promise me? Bai Ruoxuan said to Ali: "Leave the horse for the little girl to ride on." When you meet Uncle Hu, please be sure to reassure him. "
Ali cupped his hands and said, "Yes." Then he handed the reins to Guan Xiaohong and said, "Girl, please." Guan Xiaohong smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle." Then he jumped on the saddle and tied up with Bai Ruoxuan. OK.
Hu Longhai had just walked a few steps when he felt his Dantian was burning. He gasped and leaned against a tree in the backyard of the inn. Suddenly, his legs gave way and he knelt on the ground. He covered his chest with one hand, and his eyes suddenly opened wide. The mouth was foaming at first, and then turned bright red.
It wasn't until a guest came to the backyard that Chu Gong discovered his body and hurriedly called someone to report it to the official.
After Xiao Yunfan slipped away from the ship without anyone noticing, he changed his disguise and planned to track down Bai Ruoxuan's whereabouts. When we walked to Diecui Town, we saw that the entrance of Chunlai Inn was crowded with people watching the excitement. He also approached and asked the person next to him: "Brother, what happened inside?"
A red-faced man next to him said: "I heard someone died inside, and the government sent people to inspect the scene." Xiao Yunfan asked again: "Who died?" A thin-faced man next to him said: "I heard It was a fifty-year-old man. He seemed to be going out after drinking, but he died on the way."
Xiao Yunfan frowned and said, "Is it possible that people will die if they go out of court?" A fat sister-in-law said, "If a person is unlucky, he will freeze to death if he drinks a mouthful of cold water. People will die if he goes out of court. What's the fuss?" Xiao Yunfan smiled bitterly, originally wanting to say a few words. Finally holding back, he suddenly saw a face in the crowd. He had seen this face before, a middle-aged man with yellow eyebrows.
Ali also asked a few questions to the people next to him, and Xiao Yunfan noticed a smile on the corner of his mouth. I thought to myself: "Could the death of the man inside have something to do with him? This yellow eyebrow appears here, why can't I see that scheming girl?"
Ali seemed to have gotten the news he wanted, and hurriedly left through the crowd. Xiao Yunfan saw that he was leaving, so he followed him quietly. At first, Ali didn't notice it, but when he was crossing an alley, a flower seller stopped Xiao Yunfan. Ali looked back and seemed to understand something.
Xiao Yunfan was pestered by the girl, so he had to spend a few pennies to buy a few flowers. But in the blink of an eye, Ali's people had disappeared. Xiao Yunfan was quite disappointed and walked towards the street angrily. Seeing a vendor selling porcelain vases on the roadside greeting him, he casually gave the flowers to the vendor.
On the way, he was thinking: "Why did this yellow eyebrow return to the scene of the crime? Could it be that he left something somewhere? Or maybe he had other reasons. He was not sure whether he killed the man, so Just want to come back? What is the possibility?
In addition, what kind of trick is the ghost minister sending this girl to play this time? Will this person's death be related to this matter? Well, no matter what, I'll try to go to the Yamen first. As long as I know who Huang Eyebrow killed, I might be able to find some clues on the body of the deceased. "
After figuring this out, Xiao Yunfan stayed in another inn in Diecui Town and found out where the government office was. At night, he changed into a short suit and covered his face with a black scarf. Then he used Qinggong and quietly sneaked into the government office.
The charlatan in the morgue had already performed the corpse of the deceased and left early.
Xiao Yunfan floated from the roof to the courtyard. When he saw a patrolling guard coming with a lantern, he hurriedly jumped up and hung upside down on the beam. When the officer passed by him, he fell behind the officer, put two fingers on the other person's back, covered the other person's mouth and nose with the other hand and said: "I asked you a question, answer it honestly, how many If you are playing tricks, I will send you to see the King of Hell immediately."
The officer was so frightened that he kept nodding his head for a long time. Xiao Yunfan slowly let go of his mouth and asked: "Where is the dead man who was brought to Chunlai Inn during the day?" The servant said in a trembling voice: "In...in the morgue." Xiao Yunfan asked again: "Morgue. Where is the room?”
The officer pointed to the door of the one-month cave in front and said: "Go through...pass this door and go around the rockery. There is...a row of low rooms. The one who came today will...stay the night there." Xiao Yunfan said: "That room Is it locked?" The guard gasped: "No...it's not locked."
Xiao Yunfan said: "I'm sorry, brother." He raised his hand and knocked on the back of his neck, and the guard immediately fainted. Xiao Yunfan carried him under the eaves, and then said: "If you sleep here, it will be a dream."
He followed the police station and walked toward the morgue. After passing through the moon cave door and bypassing the rockery, there was indeed a row of low houses behind the two locust trees. Xiao Yunfan tiptoed up the steps and opened the door with a creak. The room was gloomy, with only a plank bed in the middle.
Even though Xiao Yunfan was bold, he couldn't help but gasp. He blew on the fire medium, boldly walked to the bed, and lifted the cloth from the deceased's face with one hand. A fragment flashed through his mind, his brows furrowed, and his heart beat violently, thinking: "It's him."
That day, when Xiao Yunfan and Yin Shisan teamed up to fight the Beggar Gang, he met Guan Xiaohong and Hu Longhai. Although they only met once, he recognized them. He used coal to light an oil lamp in the house. The faint yellow light flickered, and the shadows on the wall swayed from side to side.
Xiao Yunfan put on a pair of gloves and blocked his nostrils with cotton prepared in advance. Hu Longhai's eyes were protruding and his lips were purple. He apparently died of poisoning. Xiao Yunfan was afraid of missing something, so he touched the bones of the opponent's hands and feet.
When he examined Hu Longhai's palm, he found that the palm of his left hand had thick calluses, which were formed by practicing Kung Fu techniques such as Iron Sand Palm. There were scars under his ribs and lower abdomen, and Xiao Yunfan recognized the tattoo of an eagle on his right arm.
This tattoo is different from other tattoos. Firstly, the color of the tattoo is dark purple, and secondly, this tattoo has a special mark. Coupled with the scars on Hu Longhai's body, he was even more sure that the deceased in front of him was Hu Zhen. Hu Zhen's Yuanyang Escort Bureau was originally well-known in the world, but later because he lost an important escort, he could no longer make a living as an escort.
After many years, this matter was gradually forgotten. Xiao Yunfan knew this because it was mentioned in the "History of Jianghu" given to Xie Tianya by Feng Yuchun. In addition, the eagle and scar on his arm made Xiao Yunfan even more convinced that this person was Jiang Heng, the eagle in the clouds.
After the loss of the escort from Yuanyang Escort, Jiang Heng's home was also set on fire. Naturally, Jiang Heng was nowhere to be found. What Xiao Yunfan didn't expect was that the Ghost Prime Minister would actually attack him. Could it be that Jiang Heng knew the secret of the Ghost Prime Minister and was silenced by the other party.
Just when he was deep in thought, he heard someone shouting in the front yard of the Yamen: "Come here, put out the fire." Xiao Yunfan heard this, his mind moved, and then he woke up and said to himself: "It seems that Xiao is not the uninvited guest tonight." .”
He blew out the oil lamp and rolled his body under the bed. The bed board was covered with rags and dragged to the ground. Ordinary people would not notice this at all. He held his breath and waited for someone to come.
