Qi Xianke and his party encountered some minor troubles while staying in Toudian - the inn did not have enough rooms.
At first, Qi Xianke didn't notice anything was wrong, and just led his subordinates to find another place. However, when they were rejected several times at the second, third and even fourth house, Qi Xianke... Guest realizes something is wrong.
Although there are about ten people here at Liumen, except for myself and Zhuo Jing who need to stay in a separate room, the rest are shared by several people. A total of five or six rooms are enough. How can I find them one after another? Are there not enough rooms in several inns? There is no peak tourist season in Jietang Village, right?
After walking out of the fourth inn, Qi Xianke once again began to think about this bizarre situation, but his subordinates misinterpreted his silence at the moment:
"Master Qi, can I choose how many places to live in?" This is a solution to the problem from a practical perspective.
"Sir, we just need to squeeze in together. We have been on the job for so many years, what have we not experienced? The conditions are a bit more difficult, and everyone is used to it." This is to prepare ourselves to suffer.
And there are also quick action people who have already taken out their six-door badges: "Sir, I'm going to show the store's brand, I'm sorry they don't dare to disobey."
"What are you doing?" Qi Xianke didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Not to mention that we are setting out in casual clothes this time, and it is not appropriate to reveal our identity to outsiders. Even if we give out the name of Six Doors, do we still have to force the store to Are the guests who have booked rooms and already checked in kicked out?"
The subordinates who had just planned to show off their official power immediately changed their tune: "Your Majesty is teaching me a lesson."
"You are so humble and reckless."
"It was me who acted inappropriately."
Qi Xianke raised his hand to silence everyone: "Okay, don't talk about anything else. We visited four inns in a row, but there were very few rooms left. Don't you think this is abnormal?"
"Yes, this is indeed very strange."
"Could it be that something big happened in Jie Tang Village recently? There were more travelers out of thin air?"
"It shouldn't be. This place is very close to the capital. If there is any trouble, we will know it immediately."
"There are too few clues. You might as well inquire from multiple sources before making a decision."
"Yes, I also have this intention." The detectives' reasoning was not of much practical value, so Qi Xianke began to assign tasks: "Everyone, in pairs, went out to inquire about the news. I You need to know what happened in this village and find out who stayed in those inns."
"Yes! Sir!"

Liu Men's actions were very efficient, but Tan Shang's actions were even more efficient - when new faces like the former appeared in Jitang Village, there were already local gangsters who had been bribed by Pu Chai Shi as informants and ran to inform their "superiors" Liaison officer" Tan Shang. Tan Shang did not dare to neglect after learning the news. On the one hand, he ordered the frontline agents to investigate and report again. On the other hand, he went directly to the combat command center, the Sun family mansion, to report the secret spy to Yun Ming and Pu Che. Attendant.
"Oh? Around 2:00 a.m., a group of unidentified people riding tall horses entered the village. Well... they all looked like Lianjiazi from the outside."
"There is a woman in the team, she is not tall, and she is carrying a long package? Can you describe her appearance to me... Hey, Yun Ming, how come I hear this description? She is seven years older than Zhuo Jing. How about eight points of similarity?"
"The leading middle-aged man is suspected to be Qi Xianke? Who is Qi Xianke?"
"Huh? The leader of the Six Gates? The number one catcher of the Ming Dynasty

? "
After sending Tan Shang back and continuing to stare at the movements of the six doors, Puche asked Xiang Yunming: "Why don't I remember such a character in Xiao Qi's works?"
"I have no impression at all." Yun Ming mused: "As far as the character setting of Qi Xianke is concerned, he is an important supporting role. There is no way Xiao Qi will not explain it to us in advance."
"Is it possible that this person is the original character of the Book of Self-Atonement, and Xiao Qi has no idea about it?"
Yun Ming thought for a while after hearing this, and then took out the notebook recording the experimental results from his arms: "It's possible, I will make a supplement to the report."
"Don't worry about the summary of your experiment at this time. Let's think about what to do together."
"What to do? What to do?"
Pu Chai's eyes widened: "Didn't you hear Tan Shang's report just now? The Ming Dynasty Catcher led a team to Jietang Village in person, and Zhuo Jing, the Jin Yiwei, was also among them, and in the blink of an eye, they had noticed the rest of the inn. There is a problem with the number. With Qi Xianke's ability, I guess by now he has probably figured out that someone is up to something in all the inns in the village."
"I heard it, but so what?" Yun Ming asked rhetorically: "To take a step back, Qi Xianke even learned about our facial features by asking the innkeeper and the waiter, and then determined that all these were We did it, but what happened next? Can he imagine that the two of us were actually hiding in this Sun family mansion?"
"To take a step back, there are only about ten of them, and the strongest one, Qi Xianke, is still inferior to Lin He. How can we two, plus the second leader Tan Lu and Yu Yanjian, still be able to fight against each other?"
"To take a step back, Six Gates has dug out all the details about the two of us. They immediately sent people back to the capital to mobilize a large force to encircle and suppress us. If the round trip time is fast, it will take a full four or five hours, which is enough. Let’s break through the encirclement and escape, shall we?”
"So, please rest assured. During the last twenty hours of staying in the world of the book, relying on the previous arrangements, we will both be safe and sound."
"This is indeed the truth. I also admit that I can't find fault with what you said." Pu Che Shi frowned, always feeling that Yun Ming's mentality was too optimistic: "But you are uncharacteristically indifferent to the changes in the situation. I can’t believe it.”
Yun Ming shrugged: "Because we have reached this time, it is not realistic to tear down everything and start all over again. In this case, the best choice is to remain unchanged in response to changes, and be full of confidence in our efforts in the past twenty-four hours. confidence."
"That's right. After all, a court official like Lin He also serves in a key department like Jin Yiwei. It's not surprising that the disappearance of a living person would attract a police detective of Qi Xianke's level. You should be mentally prepared." Pu Che The waiter weighed it up and felt that since it had come, it was okay to make peace with it.
Yun Ming continued: "In fact, I even think that the Liumen gang arrived too late. In my original expectation, the task force on Lin He's disappearance should have reached Jitang Village this morning at the latest. , I don’t know why they delayed it for so long.”
Pu Che Shi also said suspiciously at this time: "Moreover, are there too few people here? Since they are looking for people, they must use the tactics of sea of people, and large-scale searches of mountains and seas will be more efficient." "
"Hmm...it really doesn't make sense."
The two of them fell into silent thinking. A few minutes later, under the dim light, Yun Mingqi, who had finished his brainstorming, had a vaguely villainous face on his face, and bad ideas came out almost immediately: "It seems that after we left Pufu yesterday afternoon, there were many people in the capital Maybe something happened that we don’t know about.”
"I originally thought about stinging
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Stay down and don't touch the bad luck of Six Doors. Anyway, if we let them check at will, it will be difficult to find our whereabouts. Now it seems that we can't do it if we don't take measures. "
"Pu Chai Attendant, let's get ready. I'm afraid these dozen or so tongues that come to your door can ask you a lot of good things."
"Catching Gods? Huh...play with him."
…………
Pu Che Shi's worries are not unreasonable. At this moment, Qi Xianke has locked the identity of the person behind the contract for the entire village's inns.
"Miss Zhuo, are you sure that the two young men who led the horses into the village to stay overnight are the eldest son of the Pu Mansion, Pu Che Shi, and his friend Yun Ming?"
"If the appearance described by the innkeepers and the waiters who ran around are correct, then I can guarantee that those two people are definitely Pu Che Shi and Yun Ming."
"Oh, I understand. Miss Zhuo has lived in Pufu for a long time and has had many exchanges with Yun Ming. She will definitely not mistake these two people." Qi Xianke paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back: "Then, they do this What is the purpose..."
In the past half hour, Qi Xianke and his subordinates visited the entire Jietang Village, focusing on the four ancient nightlife venues (in fact, they are also the four modern nightlife venues): inns, wine shops, gambling houses, and brothels. They were surprised to find that these places were all contracted by some rich man who came out of nowhere during the day.
In order to facilitate questioning of the villagers, Qi Xianke was forced to allow his subordinates to show off his six-door waistband. Although this promoted the progress of the investigation, it also exposed his identity completely. Gains and losses.
As soon as the official power came out, the villagers involved immediately poured beans through bamboo tubes and told the officials at the six gates everything they knew about the situation. Soon, pieces of information were collected in Qi Xianke's documents.
By the way, the people from the six doors have all checked into the same inn together, and the rooms are still those that the carriage waiter booked in the morning to "occupy the latrine and not shit". Because Pu Che Shi had already settled the room fee in advance, people from Six Doors confidently informed the shopkeeper when they checked in - we would not pay again, and these rooms were "invited" by Pu Che Shi.
It is really a pleasure to be able to pick up the wool of a criminal suspect. At this moment, the six-door agents, who had saved some travel expenses, were gathering in Qi Xianke's house. The discussion was in full swing and their interest was very high.
"Sir, I think this may be a plan set up by the two thieves Pu Che Shi and Yun Ming to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
"My lord, I would like to suggest that we gather all the villagers involved in this matter and use some means to reveal some information."
"Your Majesty, please allow me to immediately rush back to the capital with the God-catching Order. I will mobilize a large number of people to Jietang Village overnight to dig three feet into the ground to find out the whereabouts of the thief."
Qi Xianke's brain ached from the noise made by these cheerful subordinates. When he took a look, he saw Zhuo Jing still standing silently aside.
"Miss Zhuo, among all the people present, you are the one who knows the most about those two people. What do you think about this matter?"
Hearing this, Zhuo Jing, who was thinking in front of the case and nodded, raised her head and looked at Qi Xianke: "How much is it?"
"What?"
No one, including Qi Xianke, understood Zhuo Jing's question.
Zhuo Jing sighed and explained:
"What I mean is that Pu Che Chai has booked guest rooms, bought wine shops and gambling houses, and spent a lot of money in brothels. How much money did he spend on these in total?"
