Just listen to the fat man say: "To be honest with Mr. Zhang, I did hear about the theft of the firecracker factory. But I don't know what this has to do with our Huixian Tower. Could it be that the thief hid in our Huixian Tower?" "
Master Zhang said: "That's not true, but yesterday someone reported that a small amount of stolen firecrackers were found in the garbage dump behind Huixian Tower. I am here to find out this matter."
The fat man asked: "Do you suspect that our Huixian Tower people stole the firecrackers?" Master Zhang said: "Maybe, your Huixian Tower is so big, it can be used to hide stolen goods!"
After hearing this, the fat man hurriedly defended himself: "Sir, you have wronged me. How could we, Huixianlou, do such a thing? We are serious businessmen!"
At this time, I heard another official say: "I'm talking about Fatty Wang, do you doubt our Lord Zhang's judgment? I think you are so sneaky that you don't look like a good person! Brothers, take him back to the Yamen!" While talking, I heard the shouts of other officers and soldiers, as if they were about to take someone...
Pan Suxuan frowned when he heard this and thought to himself: "These officers and soldiers have gone too far to bully others. If I hadn't been entrusted by Senior Chen, I would have punished these evil officials who prey on the common people..."
Just as he was thinking about it, Shuang'er stood in front of the door at some point. She pushed the door open and shouted, "Stop! You oppress the people like this in broad daylight. Don't you know?" Is it the law of heaven?"
All the officials were startled at first, but when they saw that there was only a little girl standing at the door, they all burst into laughter. A few frivolous people even said with a playful smile: "Who do I think you are? So she is a little beauty?" "Beauty, what is the king's law? Then you go with my brother, and I will tell you tonight! Hey! Hehe!" After saying that, he left the fat man behind and came towards Shuang'er.
An officer near the door reached out and touched Shuang'er. Unexpectedly, before he touched the corner of his clothes, he received a firm slap on the face. The officials behind were stunned for a moment, but they still laughed and said: "Old Liu, you are at a disadvantage now, aren't you? Get out of the way and don't block my way!" "I didn't expect this girl to be quite fiery. Grandpa, I like it!" Before they fell, I heard a few slaps and a few more people were slapped on the face.
Upon seeing this, all the officials stopped smiling, cursed and rushed towards Shuang'er. The room was already small, and Shuang'er didn't know martial arts, so it was suddenly full of dangers, and he was about to be caught by several officials. I heard "Oh, my God!" and "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" The three or four officials rushing in front fell to the ground one after another, moaning, and when I looked again, everyone's arms were dislocated. When the officials behind him saw this, they did not dare to come forward. They could only point at the white-faced scholar standing in front of the door and cursed endlessly.
When Master Zhang saw this, he jumped up and separated from the officials. He came to the door and shouted loudly: "Who is so bold and dares to attack the officials? Are they going to rebel?"
Pan Suxuan smiled slightly and said: "How dare you, how dare you. I am just a commoner. I passed by here and had some misunderstandings with the officials. I hope you will be kind enough to let us live."
Seeing Pan Suxuan's elegant and delicate appearance, Mr. Zhang thought he was afraid of himself and said loudly: "Let you go?! I want to be beautiful! Come here, take him down for me!" But unexpectedly, after shouting a few times, The surrounding officers looked at each other in shock, looking at their companions lying on the ground, but they did not dare to step forward.
He was so angry that Master Zhang cursed his subordinates as useless officials, pushed everyone away, and stepped forward to grab Pan Suxuan. Unexpectedly, nothing was caught in this catch. Pan Suxuan was still standing there and looking at him with a smile. Zhang was so angry that he took out his machete from his waist and slashed at Pan Suxuan. After slashing more than ten knives in one go, Pan Suxuan kept a smile on his face and did not move his feet. He only turned slightly sideways to dodge the more than ten knives one by one.
Master Zhang secretly thought that something was wrong. The scholar in front of him had special skills and he was no match for him. He quickly winked to the left and right, picked up his injured companion and fled through the back door.
Watching the officials leave, Fatty Wang quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Thank you so much, hero, for saving me. I am very grateful!"
Pan Suxuan waved his hand and said: "It's easy, no need to be polite. By the way, how can I get to Meizifang and Lanzifang?"
Fatty Wang said: "Going up this staircase, the Mei-shaped room is the third on the right hand side of the fifth floor, and the Lan-shaped room is next to it. Are these two heroes guests of the General Protector's Mansion? No wonder they are so skilled!"
Pan Suxuan smiled without answering, gave Fatty Wang a fist, turned around and led Shuang'er up the stairs.
The two arrived at the fifth floor and saw a total of eight rooms. The plum-shaped room and the blue-shaped room were on the right side just as Fatty Wang said. Pan Suxuan came to Meizi's house. The door was not locked. He pushed it gently and it creaked open. Pan Suxuan and Shuang'er looked inside. This was a suite with a living room outside and a bedroom inside. Just as Wang Rong said, there were two unopened packages on the Eight Immortals table in the center of the living room, and there was no one in the room.
The two walked into the room and saw that the bed, bedding and other items were properly placed. If it weren't for the packages on the table, it would be impossible to tell that any guests had been there. Pan Suxuan opened the package on the table and saw that it contained some changes of clothes and scattered silver coins. He carefully looked around the table and found nothing suspicious. Shuang'er walked to the bed in the house and tossed up and down, but didn't see anything unusual.
Pan Suxuan couldn't help but frowned and thought to himself: "Judging from the scene, the two elders really just entered the room. Wang Rong said that there were two bloody gold needles near the table. If it was the blood left by the injuries of the two elders, why? There were no signs of fighting in the house? Could it be that the enemy was so skilled in martial arts that he killed the two elders without them noticing? "
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Shuang'er shouting: "Master Pan, come and see!" Pan Suxuan looked up and saw Shuang'er standing in front of the window, pushing the window with his left hand and pointing at the window sill with his right hand.
Pan Suxuan took a closer look and saw three footprints clearly printed on the window sill. Looking out the window, there was a street full of people coming and going. If someone jumps out from here and blends into the crowd, it will be difficult to find...
Pan Suxuan said: "It seems that two of these three footprints should be left by the two elders, so whose is the other one?"
Shuang'er asked: "Could it be his?"
"who?"
"He who leaves bloodstains on gold needles."
Pan Suxuan said loudly: "It's very possible! If the two elders were already injured, they would not chase people through the window. This footprint must belong to the person who was injured and ran away!"
Shuang'er nodded, but then said: "However, there is one thing that cannot be explained. If the blood stains on the golden needle did not belong to the two elders, but came from the person who broke the window and escaped, then why was the golden needle left in the middle of the living room? Next to the table? Logically speaking, it should have fallen near the window or on the person who was escaping."
Shuang'er's words made the two of them fall into deep thought again...
