Contrary to the previous unexpected visit, this time Lianghei treated the visitor with less resistance and added a hint of respect in his words. This is a kind of tacit trust. His words and deeds seem to be the same as before, but the feelings he gives people are actually completely different.
The visitor entered the house to rest for a while. Jingjie and Duan Xingang peeped into the house to prevent people with ulterior motives. Liu Tian, the person involved in the case, was on duty at the front and back of the door that was open to the outside world. Bai Feng watched from the sidelines and interacted with the house. The host and his wife found a quiet place to sit down and talk.
At first, the young swordsman still thought that Liangping's house was poor. However, as he walked deeper and deeper into the house, he found that although the house was small, it had a front hall, a side hall, a courtyard, and a bedroom. It was just that in terms of size, it was far away. It's just not as good as a wealthy family.
They walked from the front hall to the side hall, passing by a small yard a few steps wide, where there was a water tank, a few bundles of firewood, and a flowerbed in the corner that had not been taken care of for a long time and was overgrown with weeds.
Lianghei always held a writing brush between his ears. As soon as he entered the room and sat down, his wife, Yushu, presented him with several official contract documents for his review. Liangping quickly took the writing brush and put it into his mouth, moistened the tip with saliva, scrawled a few pieces, and then replied: " Yushu, the urgent need cannot be solved at the moment, and I really have no intention of being attached to these trivial matters... You, go and rest first, I will be there in a while. "
"Well, I'll let them wait a few more days." Madam Yushu's spirit remained lonely, but fortunately her complexion had a little luster, presumably due to the careful care of her husband Ryohei.
Looking back at the scene in the house, if no tragedy had occurred, they would still have continued to live and enjoy family happiness, and would never have had any other radical ideas in their hearts.
Liangping put the brush back to his ear and smiled with interest: "Young Master Bai, you came here this time, but you have other requests?"
"Brother Liangping, since you know our every move, why do you need to go to such trouble to send Liu Tian to us?" Bai Feng said: "That guy knows some things, but he is not the mastermind. To catch the real culprit behind the scenes, we have to Without relying on Brother Ryohei’s power.”
"Before that, I have something to say. I wonder if Bai Shaoxia can listen to it?" Liangping saw Bai Feng nodded in agreement, and then sat quietly to think for a moment, as if he had hesitated in his heart for a long time before making up his mind. He took a long breath, stood up, and leaned forward to the porch. Looking from a distance, he watched his wife Yushu go away before speaking with peace of mind.
"That day, I had important business and went out for business, so I left my wife and daughter alone at home. But when I came home that night, I found Xiu'er lying unconscious in front of the hall! And Yushu was nowhere to be found. I searched around the neighborhood, but no one knew what happened. In the end, I only found this jade pendant in Xiuer's hand..."
Liangping handed the jade pendant used to prove the identity of the Xiao family to Bai Feng and continued: "By the early morning of the next day, someone secretly put the jade pendant into a sack and threw it in front of my house. Although she was fully clothed at that time , but there were bruises all over her body, but she couldn’t remember anything.”
"At that time, I suddenly remembered that this kind of thing has happened to us ordinary people from time to time since the Taiping Road appeared." Liangping suddenly widened his eyes, clenched his fists and glared ahead: "I know, There are often bad rumors coming from that Taoist temple, but more people get salvation and happiness from believing in Taiping Tao. So at first, I didn’t suspect them."
"I started looking for the owner of this jade pendant. I thought it would take me a few years." Lianghei turned around and smiled disdainfully: "Oh, I didn't expect that person to be swindling everywhere. It only took me half a day to find him." We found him and learned about the collusion between the Xiao family and Taiping Dao."
"That's why you urgently need Madam to identify who committed the murder?" Bai Feng said: "Madam, where exactly was she kidnapped? What happened to her? These things will probably have to wait until Xiao Sigu comes to the Taoist temple as invited. Then we will find out.”
Liangping greeted him and couldn't help but ask: "What, why is a dandy like him going to a Taoist temple? Could it be that his conscience has discovered that he wants to become a monk?"
"Brother Liangping, Taiping Road is not a good one. You must know a little about the inside story." Bai Feng also stood up and walked around to face Liangping, saying, "Send me to the Taoist temple, and I will give it to them." A great gift!”
"Young hero?" Liangping stared in surprise: "Could it be that you..."
"After the incident is completed, I will immediately send people to set fire to the Taoist temple. When the fire is seen, you will take advantage of the chaos to gather the people and rush into the Taoist temple in the name of putting out the fire." The young swordsman looked confident, "Let everyone come and see Look, what kind of medicine is being sold in the gourd of Taiping Road!"
Ryohei's eyes sparkled with long-lost hope, even though he still felt unbelievable in his heart, and even thought that the other party was trying to make it impossible for him to escape, but the power of hope and the temptation of hope were endless.
"Okay, I promise you." Liangping said: "All the boys who deliver wine and meat to them are all introduced by me as a broker. If I want to replace a few people midway, no one will notice."
After the two talked, they immediately set off and divided into two groups. Bai Feng led Duan Xingang and Jingjie out together. They didn't know what was going on. They temporarily detained Liu Tian at Liangping's house. When they returned, dusk had fallen. Duan Xingang had a sack on his shoulder at some point, and Liangping also A transport team has been arranged at the door of the house, waiting for Bai Feng and the others to finish changing their clothes.
"Young Master Bai, what did you bring back?" Liangping pointed at the heavy sack and asked, "Could it be that you captured the county magistrate?"
Duan Xingang made a clean move, knocked Liu Tian unconscious, put him into a sack, and replied: "This matter has nothing to do with you, just listen to Bai Shaoxia's instructions and do what you say!"
"Brother Liangping, Senior Brother Bai don't want to involve too many people. If this fails, you don't have to get into trouble." Before Jingjia finished speaking, Duan Xingang threw the sack containing Liu Tian on him and shouted rudely: " Don’t talk too much, it will delay the business!”
Jingjia looked extremely embarrassed as he held the sack that was filled with a strange smell. After he got used to it for a while and was about to turn around and go out, he warned Liangping again: "Brother Liangping, it's up to you!"
After speaking, Liangping watched the two of them walk out of the house, but saw Bai Feng standing outside directing the three-way convoy. Each car was driven and guarded by two people. At the same time, he kept urging Duan Xingang and Jingjie to quickly return to the team and obey the order, his behavior was calm and calm, and his expression was indifferent.
Lianghei, who originally thought he could use others to accomplish things for him, would never have thought that the young swordsman would be such a reliable "comrade-in-arms." When he saw the other person waving goodbye to him, he actually felt unprecedented comfort in his heart, as if he was Begging: "Come back, you must come back!"
"That Young Master Bai is such a good person." A woman's voice was as angry as silk coming from beside her. It turned out that his wife Yushu had been watching the change in her husband's demeanor.
When Liangping saw Bai Feng and others walking away, he dared to say something depressing. He just said: "Yes, he obviously doesn't need to care about the safety of Yuyi Town, but he is still trying to raise the flag of justice..." After a while, Liangping said Unconsciously, he sneered and laughed at himself: "Oh, in the end, didn't I do the same thing as him?"
