After dinner, the fat man picked up the unconscious Su Xiaolou who was pretending to be drunk and took him away.
"Fat man, it's almost time. Put me down! I'm going to vomit."
"Okay, boss."
"Boss, is the messenger of the Shadow Moon Sect really in the county seat?"
"You can't be wrong. After watching the pork reselling officer, the captain came back and said that as soon as he returned to Meng County, he entered the county government office through the back door without any obstruction. Now I have a candidate, and he is close to ten."
"Then we summon the Jin Yiwei and rush in to arrest people?"
"That will only alert the enemy. Find someone to put the pills back tomorrow."
"What a good plan! Boss, let's wait and wait until the old Taoist priest comes and capture him immediately."
"What a fart! What have you been thinking about all day long? If you were that old Taoist priest, would you risk your life?"
The fat man was even more confused and asked: "It seems so! Then we will set up a trap for a long time and catch a few minions!"
Su Xiaolou sneered: "The weather will definitely be better tomorrow. When you go to put out medicine, you can hunt more game. I'm really hungry after not eating for so long."
…
On the first day, Su Xiaolou ate game caught on Jigong Ridge and hummed a ditty. There were already ambush agents on Jigong Ridge, and Zhou Baihu had also ambush near the county government office. Su Xiaolou had already finished eating a pheasant and a hare, but there was still no movement.
The night gradually fell, and the day passed quickly. Su Xiaolou thought that there would be some movement on the first day, but he didn't expect that the old Taoist priest could endure it.
The next day, Su Xiaolou placed some steamed bun crumbs on the sand in the courtyard. After an ant came back to report the news, he took away the steamed bun crumbs, causing a group of ants to stand in confusion. Su Xiaolou then scratched them. Go to the circle and have fun.
Su Xiaolou was almost doubting his own judgment when he waited, but there was still no news.
On the third day, Su Xiaolou waited so hard that he walked around the room. He couldn't even sit down. He was still uncomfortable lying down. He was like an ant on a hot pot. He couldn't break his promise to the fat old man! Besides, just going back like this, he could imagine the gloating face of Lei Zhenfu. What was going on recently? One old man and two old men couldn't handle it. Could it be that the old man defeated him.
Su Xiaolou watched the sun rise and then set in the west. Time passed little by little. This was the last day. It seemed that the old man had really defeated him recently.
"Boss! Boss! Yes... there is..." Xiucai ran out of breath.
Su Xiaolou quickly helped him calm down, brought him a cup of tea, and asked nervously: "Is there any news?"
The scholar nodded repeatedly.
"Over there"
"Chengdong Drug Store."
"I'm not at the county government office. I just closed the door." Su Xiaolou ran out quickly.
At the drug store in the east of the city, Su Xiaolou had ordered people to surround him. The Shadow Moon Sect had few men left, and only the old Taoist priest was more difficult to deal with.
Su Xiaolou ordered someone to shout: "Listen to the people inside, you have been surrounded, give up resistance." After shouting several times but there was no response, Su Xiaolou asked the scholar: "What's going on? Are you wrong?" ”
"You can't be wrong, boss! The blind man and the others followed the man who stole the elixir of life and saw him enter this medicine shop with their own eyes."
"When did a blind man's eyes ever become reliable?"
"Uncle Huang and Xiong Er also saw it."
"That's okay." Su Xiaolou shouted: "Someone, break down the door!"
With a bang, the door opened. Su Xiaolou walked in and saw that it was He Xian Cheng who was selling pork. It was such a big drugstore. He could see as far as the eye could see. There was no third person at all. After a search, it turned out that , there were still only two people. Surprisingly, some weapons were found, but the sneaky master was not there. Could it be that he made a mistake in judgment? It seems that the old man really defeated him recently.
After setting up such a big trap and struggling for three days with no results, I felt angry and rushed up to ask: "Why is the county magistrate here with the person who stole the elixir of life? I only told you about this matter." Lord County Magistrate, do you think that Lord County Magistrate also wants to be that thousand-year-old king and eighty-thousand-year-old tortoise?"
"me……"
Seeing the anxious expression of the county magistrate, Su Xiaolou continued: "If someone else instigates it, if the magistrate speaks out, he might be able to get rid of the crime."
Before the county magistrate could speak, the pork reseller jumped out and said, "Sir, he is the messenger of the Shadow Moon Sect."
I saw the county magistrate kneeling on the ground with a plop, lowering his head and acquiescing.
Su Xiaolou grabbed the collar of the pork seller and asked, "How come you are everywhere, and how do you know about it?"
"I reported a letter to you before, but now that I think about it, I saw that the county magistrate was among the group of people. I also saw everyone kneeling before him. He must be the messenger of the Shadow Moon Sect."
"Then why did you steal the elixir of life?"
"It was the county magistrate who forced me."
These words were really full of flaws. There was not a single word of truth in the mouth of this pork seller. This was obviously a pre-colluded rhetoric. Su Xiaolou became so angry that he pinched the pork seller's neck and asked: "I'll give you the last word." An opportunity, tell me, where is the Shadow Moon Cult envoy?"
"That's it... that's... the county magistrate."
"Fat man, if I give this guy a thousand knives, I still won't believe that this guy can still be so arrogant."
As Su Xiaolou spoke, he was about to draw his knife, as if he was going to chop the pork seller into pieces. Several people rushed up and stopped Su Xiaolou.
Seeing that the plan failed and the suspicious master was missing, the group had no choice but to return to Anqing Mansion with the county magistrate and the pork reseller. Su Xiaolou was riding on the horse, dejected along the way. No one dared to disturb him. They have left Meng County, and this time they have already alerted the enemy. It will be difficult to catch the messenger of the Shadow Moon Sect.
Su Xiaolou heard the fat man whispering to the blind man from behind: "Should we tell the boss that he took a wrong turn?"
"Do you want to be beaten? Didn't you see the way the boss was about to kill someone just now? The boss not only failed to catch the messenger of the Shadow Moon Sect, but also lost the elixir of life. He is angry! Don't disturb him."
"Besides, the boss is so smart. He will realize after a while that he is going the wrong way."
"But……"
The alarm bell rang loudly in Su Xiaolou's heart. The elixir of life was lost. The blind man watched with his own eyes the person who took the elixir of life into the drug store. In other words, the elixir of life was lost in that drug store. No, it was him. Too careless, Su Xiaolou immediately turned the horse's head and asked Zhou Baihu and five Jinyi guards to gallop on horseback and return to the medicine store, while the remaining people waited for the guards to commit the crime.
