The word "invitation" is written on the envelope of the invitation. Open the envelope and find a piece of fine rice paper. The word "invitation" is written on the envelope:
'Brother Ba Daomen Wang Heng met like this:
We have decided to hold a birthday party in Gejiazhuang on the first day of April to celebrate my 40th birthday.
Here I prepare a letter to invite the king to a banquet at Gejiazhuang at seven o'clock in the morning on the beginning of summer.
Sincerely, Gejiazhuang Ge Changshou. '
Xiao Yu wrote down, "At seven o'clock in the morning of the beginning of summer, I went to Gejiazhuang for a banquet." Then he threw the invitation and the envelope on the sloping stone wall on one side of the stone slope, got up and left.
Seeing that the hands of the three of them were tied with cloth strips, all of them had lost their outer clothes. The blue cloth clothes of the two boys were used to tie their hands behind their backs.
But Ge Yang's brocade coat disappeared, and Xiao Yu didn't bother to pay attention. He weighed the money in his hand, put it in his arms, and hurriedly ran forward.
He did not turn back, so as not to arouse Ge Yang's suspicion. He headed towards Chunhua Valley, intending to take a boat from the lower reaches of the Huai River to Yangzhou City.
It was almost lunch time at 7:00 si. Since the invitation given by Ge Changshou to Wang Heng said 7:00 s.
At that time, there were exactly five people involved in the Tong family murder case: brothers Ge Changshou and Ge Ming, brothers Lu Wei and Lu Fang, plus Wang Heng.
At the beginning of March, when they were working together to arrest 'Ji Ruge', Wang Heng and several other leaders had different opinions due to the problem of collecting money, and Wang Heng withdrew from their team.
Now, Ge Changshou still invited Wang Heng to the banquet, which showed that the five people had a good friendship. Xiao Yu concluded in her heart that the people Ge Changshou invited must be Luo Yuezong Lu Wei and Lu Fang.
The first day of April is an opportunity to make a move.
When the light rain detoured around Yangzhou City, it was already the end of the afternoon, the sun was tilting to the west, the residual heat was not warm, and the breeze was blowing, which was a bit chilly.
He took a bow boat at the ferry on the west bank of Xiyun Lake and headed east.
Laomaqiao is on the south bank of the east. To return to the tavern, you must go ashore via Dongdu.
Xiao Yu had already taken off the mask, and changed into the coarse cloth clothes he usually wore in the package. The clothes he took off were only worn once. When he came ashore from the west of Yangzhou City, he threw them to two people. beggar.
Cross eastward from Xiyun Lake.
Xiao Yu had plundered Ge Yang's dozens of taels of silver. The money bag was thrown away, but the money was safely in Xiao Yu's arms.
After giving the boat money, Xiaoyu went ashore towards Huatan Temple.
It was not yet dark at this time, so he wanted to use an excuse to go to the Shanshui Inn behind Huatan Temple to find Uncle Liu, and then go to the temple to find out whether Ge Ming, Lu Fang, Lu Wei and others were sure that they would go to Ge Changshou's birthday banquet at the beginning of summer.
If he wants to take action, he must be sure that they will go, so that he can come up with an idea to lure and kill them separately.
Huatan Temple.
At the foot of the mountain, the words "Huatan Temple" on the boundary monument are clearly painted in vermilion. The area around the boundary monument is clean and free of fallen leaves, and it looks like someone is taking care of it from time to time.
A bluestone step winds up along the backbone of the hill, which is the road leading to the mountain gate of Huatan Temple.
As soon as Xiao Yu took steps to go up, she saw two girls jumping down the mountain.
Li Luo and An Ning.
"Xiao Yu, haha, you're here. Did Uncle Six tell you that we went to the tavern to find you, so you came to play with us?" Li Luo jumped up to Xiao Yu, clasped his hands behind his back, and muttered happily around Xiao Yu.
Li Luo found Xiao Yu's usual irreverent appearance quite amusing. He was an interesting guy. In addition, he wanted to use Xiao Yu's help to steal money from the tavern, so he had a good impression of Xiao Yu.
At this time, I saw light rain at the foot of the "hill"-sized mountain of Huatan Temple, and I was naturally very happy.
Xiaoyu hasn't been back to the tavern yet. Although she knows that Li Luo and An Ning have been there, she pretends not to know and asks curiously: "Have you been to the tavern to look for me?"
Seeing Xiao Yu's confused look, Li Luo curled his lips and became a little angry, and replied: "Yes, from the look of you, you haven't gone back yet, right? We went to the pub to visit you in the morning, and the uncle said that you were not here and would wait for you to come back. I will tell you to come to us tomorrow, but I thought you were going up the mountain to find us in the temple."
Xiaoyu replied: "I have indeed not returned to the tavern. I didn't know you had come to see me. If I had known, I would have come to the temple to look for you long ago. I still don't need this time."
Li Luo listened and nodded, then remembered that it was almost sunset at this time, so he asked Xiao Yu: "By the way, the sun is almost setting, what are you doing in the temple?"
Xiao Yu replied: "I'm here to see how Uncle Liu's fishing is going, and I'll go back to the tavern with him by the way."
After hearing this, Li Luo suddenly understood and said "Oh" and replied: "Yes, the old uncle who lives in your tavern is now a guest of the temple and fishes at Houshanshuitan every day."
Xiaoyu nodded and replied: "I heard Uncle Liu say this."
Xiao Yu pointed at Li Luo and An Ning and asked, "It's already evening, are you two planning to sneak out to play?"
After listening to Xiao Yu's words, Li Luo remembered something interesting. She took Xiao Yu's arm, smiled and said:
"Hahaha, we are going to see the eldest son of Gejiazhuang. This time it will be fun. We heard from Uncle Ge of the Mingyi Sword Sect in the temple that Ge Ming was bullied! It seems that he was robbed by a joint force. His ass He was stung by a horse peak and bitten by a dog.
I heard that the Jiang Family Medical Center in the city is dispensing medicine! There were a lot of people watching, and we wanted to see their miserable condition, and we felt happy at the same time!
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go and have a look. Before it gets dark, let's go and go back. You can go back to the tavern from there.
Why don't you go find Uncle Liu? Uncle Liu will ride a donkey back when he is tired of fishing. You will regret it if you don't watch the excitement right now. "
After Li Luo finished speaking, he took Xiao Yu's arm and walked towards the city, with An Ning following behind.
"Hey, hey, hey..." Xiaoyu had no choice but to be pulled away by Li Luo, so he had no choice but to follow.
Yangzhou city.
Jiang Family Medical Center.
On the door hangs a plaque with the words "Ji Shi Huai Ren", and a couplet hanging on both sides, which reads: "No one can see the cultivation, but God knows the intention."
On the right side of the couplet, there are four eye-catching red lacquer carved characters - Jiang Family Medical Center.
There were countless street neighbors watching the excitement and passers-by standing at the door of the hospital. They were all talking about it.
Li Luo, Xiao Yu, and An Ning walked closer and looked through the crowd around them.
On the stone steps at the entrance of the hospital, two young men were holding their swollen cheeks, and beside them squatted a big, bloated black dog.
The two boys' clothes were in tatters, with only a few bruises on their faces.
A black dog, his whole body was bloated, but even his eyelids and mouth were covered with big bites. His eyes were slanted, and he seemed to be weeping in pain.
Two people and one dog looked very miserable.
And inside the medical center, loud calls for father and mother were heard coming from inside. It was Ge Yang's cry of pain.
An Ning hid her face and smiled, while Li Luo looked at the two people and the dog in the gatehouse, laughing forward and backward, and Xiao Yu also laughed.
Before they could squeeze in, they heard the people nearby talking.
"Who is treating illnesses inside, and why is it so busy?" a passerby asked.
"The eldest son of Gejiazhuang, I heard that he was beaten up and robbed of his silver coins." Passerby B replied.
"No, it's just that I didn't get beaten up. I heard that the rotten hole in the past of Yu'an Town was used to block Ma Feng's nest. No, a bag full of wasp stings. Mr. Jiang is giving it to me. He's applying medicine!" Passerby Bing continued.
...
"Come on, come on, we are their friends and we are here to greet them! Please give way!" Li Luo smiled and pulled Xiao Yu and An Ning to squeeze through the crowd and go in to take a closer look.
