Liu Xinzhou opened up her formation, took a stance, and pointed her arrows at Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing.
The two of them saw that he was stubborn and refused to give good advice, so they were about to subdue him with force.
A soldier outside the door rushed in. He told Liu Xinzhou that a masked man had beaten someone to death on the trail in the north of the city.
Liu Xinzhou heard this, take dozens of people to trace the traces of the masked man first, and after I take care of them, I will rush to your rescue.
At this moment, a sneer appeared on Zhao Xueqing's pretty face. She told Liu Xinzhou that even if another hundred or ten people came, they would not be a match for the masked man.
Liu Xinzhou opened her eyes angrily and scolded Zhao Xueqing for being alarmist.
But before Zhao Xueqing could answer, the soldier nervously told Liu Xinzhou that the masked man shook the hunky man several feet away with just one palm.
Hearing this, Liu Xinzhou said in surprise: "This... this, knocking a strong man away with your palm, how is it possible?"
Seeing that Liu Xinzhou didn't believe it, Zhao Xueqing turned to Fu Tianpeng and said, "Brother Tianpeng, it seems that this general doesn't know how powerful the people in the world are. You can show your skills and let this frog in the well learn a lot."
He saw Fu Tianpeng steadying his horse, breathing in and out, and a fire-like Qi immediately spread around his body.
When all the soldiers present saw Fu Tianpeng, who was like charcoal fire, they stood there in shock, as if they had lost their souls.
Fu Tianpeng suddenly pushed forward with both palms, and a poplar tree as thick as a bowl was broken by him up to his waist.
A loud "boom" shook Liu Xinzhou out of his trance.
Only then did he realize that although he had deployed strong bows and crossbows, if Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing really had murderous intentions, his life would have been in danger long ago.
Therefore, he immediately bent down and bowed to the two of them.
Liu Xinzhou said with a trembling tone: "Two heroes, no...two generals, it turns out that the young ones are blind and have offended the general's power. I hope you can forgive me."
Just as Zhao Xueqing was about to speak, a raging fire broke out in the study.
For a moment, a fire dragon soared into the sky and smoke filled the sky. Liu Xinzhou and the soldiers who belonged to him were choked and coughed repeatedly.
He wiped his eyes that were choked with tears, and then said: "Run quickly, otherwise we will all be burned to a crisp on the outside."
When Zhao Xueqing saw Liu Xinzhou was about to leave, she grabbed him by the back of his heart and threw him into a fight.
Then, Zhao Xueqing raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "General Liu, the gangsters set fire to destroy evidence. Instead of thinking of a good way to get out of trouble, you tried to escape when you were in danger. When I finish the business, I will definitely send you to the capital. Hand it over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for severe punishment.”
After hearing this, Liu Xinzhou fell to the ground limply like mud. He begged with tears in his eyes: "General, please spare my life. As long as I keep this little one alive, I will leave everything to the general."
Zhao Xueqing said with a stern expression: "Hurry up and bring me water, and bring me a quilt by the way."
After everything was ready, Zhao Xueqing asked the soldiers to pour water on the quilt, and she wanted to put it on to collect the evidence.
Fu Tianpeng took her slender hand and said softly: "Sister Qing, the flames inside are soaring into the sky, it's better for me to go."
Zhao Xueqing told him to be careful.
Fu Tianpeng put on the quilt and jumped out like a rabbit.
Fu Tianpeng searched around in the fire ball. Under the corner of the table, he found a piece of paper that had been mostly burned off.
After Fu Tianpeng put away the remaining paper, he smashed the window lattice with his palm and jumped out.
At this moment, Zhao Xueqing secretly winked at Fu Tianpeng, and Fu Tianpeng understood.
I heard that she was concerned and asked Fu Tianpeng what he had discovered?
Fu Tianpeng shook his head repeatedly and said that the fire had burned this place to the ground and nothing was found.
Zhao Xueqing nodded, then she turned around and said to Liu Xinzhou: "General Liu, as a prefect, Wang Maonian was corrupt, perverted the law, and made friends with bandits. You are his confidant, so naturally you have something to do with it. I think you still have some regrets. I will give you a chance to change your mind. If you do evil again, I will take your life at any time."
Liu Xinzhou's face was so frightened that he told Zhao Xueqing that he would never dare to think evil thoughts again in the future.
In order to avoid unnecessary complications, Zhao Xueqing immediately asked Liu Xinzhou to report what happened here to the capital and hand it over to the emperor.
Liu Xinzhou dared not to obey. After writing the memorial, he stamped it with the official seal and sent someone to quickly deliver it to Lin'an.
After settling the matter here, Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing went to the West Gate.
In front of a thatched cottage, Fu Tianpeng took out the broken page from his arms and handed it to Zhao Xueqing.
Zhao Xueqing opened it and looked at it. On it was "Spring Outlook in Hangzhou" written by Bai Letian: "The sound of waves is heard in the enlistment temple at night, and the willow color in spring hides Su Xiaojia."
After seeing this poem, Fu Tianpeng thought hard and said, "Sister Qing, is the clue hidden in Lin'an?"
Zhao Xueqing held her delicate cheeks in her hands and frowned in thought.
After a long while, she sighed quietly and said: "Brother Tianpeng, I think the clue is not in Lin'an."
Fu Tianpeng hurriedly asked Zhao Xueqing, why is this? "
Zhao Xueqing believes that if the clue is really in Lin'an, with the identity of the masked man, he will never appear in Huaizhou.
Fu Tianpeng responded: "Yes, this mysterious masked man has such high martial arts skills that he always appears when we least expect him. And his appearance will definitely cause huge damage to our investigation."
Zhao Xueqing said "hmm" and then said: "All the account books in the study were burned, but this fragment of page was pressed on the corner of the table. It was obvious that someone did it deliberately. And this person was definitely not a fool. Because he couldn’t have left us any clues. So the most reasonable thing is that this fragment of page was written by Wang Maonian.”
Fu Tianpeng paced, thought for a moment and then replied: "Qingmei, your analysis makes sense. Wang Maonian may have realized that he might be in danger, so he left this note, thinking that his confidants could help him get revenge in the future."
Zhao Xueqing sighed and said: "It's a pity that Liu Xinzhou is as timid as a mouse and can't hold such a big responsibility. Wang Maonian is also a bad person."
Then, Zhao Xueqing pointed to the key to the broken page.
Wang Maonian is well aware of the masked man's thoughts and martial arts, so in order to cover up the truth, he will never reveal the meaning on paper. If it is so easy to guess, wouldn't all the hard work be wasted?
When Fu Tianpeng heard Zhao Xueqing's sensible analysis, he suddenly felt like the clouds were clearing.
Next, Fu Tianpeng asked Zhao Xueqing how to peel off the cocoons and find the truth?
Zhao Xueqing believed that the purpose of the gangsters sneaking into the study was to prevent us from searching for the bank, so this broken page must be related to the bank. And this bank is most likely related to the person named Wu.
After hearing these words, Fu Tianpeng looked at Zhao Xueqing with incredible eyes.
Zhao Xueqing chuckled and said, "What's wrong, Brother Tianpeng? Is your soul taken away by me?"
Fu Tianpeng patted his head, shook his head and said, "Sister Qing, I just think everything is too mysterious."
Zhao Xueqing smiled and said: "Brother Tianpeng, let's send a message to brothers Wen Jiu and Wen Shi of Hongxin Sect and ask them to help check if there are any banks opened by people with the surname Wu nearby."
At dawn, the two went to the market to buy carrier pigeons and released the news. As dusk approached, Hongxin sent a letter to the keeper.
Brothers Wen Jiu and Wen Shi replied in the letter: "Nvxia Zhao, you can see her words as well as her face. The matter entrusted to her has been found out. Thirty miles west of Huaizhou City, there is a Huwei Hall. The leader of the hall, Wu Xinghu, specializes in making large-scale works. Buying and selling for over 10,000 yuan for free money.”
After Zhao Xueqing crushed the note, she and Fu Tianpeng went straight to Huwei Hall.
When the two of them arrived in front of the Huwei Hall, a strong man with a scimitar in his hand stretched out his hand to block their way at the door.
The strong man looked at Fu Tianpeng and the others with a pair of beady eyes, and said viciously: "This is Huwei Hall, not just anyone can break in."
Zhao Xueqing read: "Every day I spend money to buy a fishing boat, and I fall asleep drunk with yellow croaker and white wine."
The strong man continued: "Who can be like Tao Yuanliang, who has five willow trees and a barren embankment with a full moon over the river."
After making the incision, the strong man cupped his fists and said: "We meet in the mountains and rivers, please come in."
After the two of them entered Huwei Hall, a rich voice came: "Two friends, I wonder if you come to Huwei Hall for money or for people?"
The person who spoke was none other than Wu Xinghu.
Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing followed the sound and saw Wu Xinghu sitting in front of him.
Wearing a cloud bun, he is nine feet tall, with broad shoulders and wide waist. He has a melon face, a straight eyebrow, triangular eyes, a nose that reaches the sky, and a big mouth. There is a thick beard on his chin, and if you look carefully, it is either Zhong Kui or the judge who has been reincarnated.
Zhao Xueqing stepped forward, clasped her fists, and said to Wu Xinghu: "I have heard about the reputation of the hall master for a long time, and when I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation."
Wu Xinghu waved his hand, blew his beard and snorted coldly: "This heroine, there is no need to say polite words. You provide the money, and I will provide the strength to make things perfect and the best."
Zhao Xueqing said: "Tangzhu Wu is really quick to talk. I will pay you 100,000 yuan to go to the woods beside the mountain road in the north of the city and deliver a dead man to Lin'an."
When Wu Xinghu heard this, he grinned and said, "Xia Xia, are you kidding me? Is a dead man worth a hundred thousand dollars?"
Zhao Xueqing sneered and said: "Hall Master Wu, I have my own reasons for paying a hundred thousand dollars. You should know that such a big price is not an easy thing."
Wu Xinghu slapped the table, squinted and sneered: "I dare to go to the Rakshasa Ghost Cave. Stop talking nonsense, where should you send the dead?"
Zhao Xueqing said casually: "Qin Hui's mansion in Lin'an."
When Wu Xinghu heard this, his arrogant and arrogant expression disappeared.
He stuck out his tongue and shook his head repeatedly: "Xia Xia, I can't do this deal, please hire someone else."
Zhao Xueqing sneered and said, "Hallmaster Wu, if you want others to be unaware, you have to do nothing except yourself."
When Wu Xinghu saw the insinuations in Zhao Xueqing's words, he gritted his teeth and cursed: "What nonsense are you talking about? What shameful things have I done?"
Zhao Xueqing shrugged again and sneered: "Wu Xinghu, let me ask you, did the chief executive ask you to handle the silver coins received by Wang Maonian secretly?"
As soon as Zhao Xueqing said these words, Wu Xinghu trembled unnaturally.
He pointed at Zhao Xueqing and asked: "You...you...who are you?"
Zhao Xueqing replied seriously: "Guerrilla general, swordsman Zhao Xueqing."
Wu Xinghu shouted "Ah!" and then waved his hand, and the Huweitang gang surrounded them.
He saw Wu Xinghu holding a ring knife and walking forward slowly.
He pointed at Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing and cursed: "If you don't take the road to heaven, there will be no way to hell to break in. Now that you are here, there is no way you can leave alive."
After that, Wu Xinghu gave an order, the sword flew up, and the murderous intention suddenly emerged. Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing are facing another fierce fight.
