By the way, since Xiao Guo framed Lao Bai that night, three days have passed in a flash.
In the past three days, after what happened, Xiao Guo seemed to have completely integrated into the Tongfu Inn.
There is no longer any fuss about martial arts, nor is it passive at work. I just work hard with everyone in the inn every day.
Although sometimes I still take the opportunity to be lazy, but it is much better than before.
. . . . . .
On the other side, Xiao Liu continued to practice martial arts diligently during these three days. After several days of hard training, Xiao Liu's current Qing Gong has also made breakthrough progress.
Now, even though he doesn't know internal skills, he can already dodge and move around on the treetops.
Xiaoliu's movements are now light and flexible, just like an ape. He can leap to the top of a tree several meters high with just one push.
And when he was running quickly on the flat ground, his speed was as fast as a cheetah.
Moreover, his footsteps were light and silent, making it difficult for ordinary people to detect him through the sound of his footsteps.
It can be said that Xiao Liu's Qing Gong has now reached the level of Xiao Cheng.
Looking at himself who had already achieved some success in Qing Gong, Xiao Liu felt a little happy after completing the practice, but also a little nervous.
Xiao Liu knew that this meant it was time for him to take action.
To be honest, when Xiao Liu was asked to practice martial arts, he was only excited and excited.
And when he mastered it, when he thought that he was really going to face those so-called bandits, it would be absolutely false to say that he wasn't nervous or scared.
After all, they were bandits who could really kill people, and the last time Xiao Liu had a fight was more than ten years ago.
But when he saw the official uniform he was wearing, even though Xiao Liu was a little scared, he still chose to accept it.
After all, he is in his position and takes responsibility!
Since I have chosen to be a policeman, these things are inevitable. Even if I escape this time, there will still be others later. People cannot escape forever.
Besides, with his current martial arts skills, Xiao Liu also has the confidence to save his life.
Cowards and braves are sometimes just a matter of thought.
"What are you thinking about, Xiao Liu? Let's go." Lao Xing came out from behind, looked at Xiao Liu in a daze, and patted him on the shoulder.
A week has passed since Lao Xing's last ligament strain. Although people often say that it takes a hundred days to strain a muscle, Lao Xing returned to work after only two days of rest.
It's not that Lao Xing's resilience is amazing. You can tell by looking at his cheeks that hurt from time to time when he walks.
Of course, this is not because the leader of Lou Zhixian is unkind and insists on forcing him to work.
After all, although Lao Xing fell, there was still Xiao Liu, and the Qixia Town had always been peaceful, so even if Xiao Liu was the only one, he could handle it completely. Lao Xing could not do anything even if he continued to lie down and recuperate. Any questions.
If it were an ordinary person, he would probably accept it openly.
But that won't work for Lao Xing, who wants to be strong, save face, and has a strong sense of responsibility.
No, it had only been two days since he could no longer lie down, and he took the initiative to request Lou Zhixian to be reinstated.
Lou Zhixian looked at Lao Xing, who was still having trouble walking, and initially disagreed. But unable to withstand Lao Xing's repeated begging, Lou Zhixian finally allowed Lao Xing to return to his post after praising him a few words.
Lao Xing, who returned to work, is also very strong. He will never let Xiao Liu help him when patrolling the streets. The two of them are responsible for the scope of their duties every day, and they will not let Xiao Liu help him patrol the streets.
Seeing such a powerful master, Xiao Liu could only helplessly shake his head.
But this also made him respect his master even more. Xiao Liu was suddenly curious whether his master often patrolled the streets with injuries like this before he came.
After all, you must know that his master has been the only one arrested in Qixia Town in the past two years. Xiao Liu doesn't believe that his master has not been sick even once in these two years!
However, although Lao Xing wants to be strong, he still knows how to measure. He will not dare to practice martial arts again until his injury is completely healed.
Especially the ligament pull, it is estimated that he will have a shadow for the rest of his life.
Now after he patrols the area he is responsible for every day, he mostly goes to Tongfu Inn to sit and rest.
Xiao Liu looked at his master and knew that his master was going to Tongfu Inn. He immediately took out a letter from his pocket.
"Master, here is a letter for Shopkeeper Tong."
Xiao Liu said and handed the letter to his master.
Lao Xing took it over curiously and asked casually.
"A letter to Shopkeeper Tong? What letter?"
After hearing this, Xiao Liu couldn't help but smile as he thought about the origin of this letter. "This letter is from White Horse Academy. If I guess correctly, this should be Xiaobei's admission notice."
"Admission notice?" Lao Xing said curiously, but after all, he did not open it. After all, it was a matter of principle.
It is tragic to say that due to the serious losses of Qixia Town's establishment, even the postman's work was done by two agents, Lao Xing and Xiao Liu.
"Well, it's something that shopkeeper Tong has been thinking about. If she receives it, she will be very happy." Xiao Liu said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lao Xing suddenly seemed to notice something. He looked at Xiao Liu with some confusion and asked.
"Why don't you give it to her yourself?"
Xiao Liu suppressed the hesitation in his heart and said firmly. "Master, I want to visit Cuiwei Mountain today."
Lao Xing froze when he heard Xiaoliu's words.
In fact, regarding the bandits, Xiao Liu had already reported the matter to him at noon on the day he learned about the bandits.
After all, there are only two police officers in Qixia Town. It is simply impossible for Xiao Liu to disappear silently for a day without being discovered by Lao Xing.
In addition, Lao Xing is not only his boss, but also his master, so Xiaoliu feels that he must discuss it with him first.
After careful discussion, the master and the apprentice decided to investigate the matter clearly before reporting it to Lou Zhixian. After all, if they reported it to Lou Zhixian without investigating clearly, there would be trouble.
You must know that there are only two police officers in Qixia Town. If there are really a large group of bandits, then the Louzhi County must report it to the superiors, so that the superiors can send troops to eliminate them. Or perhaps the higher-ups ordered several surrounding counties to send out manpower to carry out the encirclement and suppression campaign.
No matter which one it is, it must first be confirmed that this group of bandits actually exists. Otherwise, it will be a lie about the military situation. When the time comes, let alone them, even Lou Zhixian will be held accountable.
As for the investigation, the candidate can naturally only be chosen from the master and apprentice, and Lao Xing was injured again, so there is no one else to investigate except Xiao Liu.
However, although Lao Xing had known that Xiao Liu was going to investigate the situation of the bandits, he did not expect that it would be today.
Lao Xing asked worriedly. "Does it have to be today?"
To be honest, Lao Xing hopes that the master and apprentice can go together after his leg is better, so that they can at least have someone to take care of him.
However, Xiao Liu shook his head and said firmly.
"If we delay it any longer, it will probably be too late. While no victims have appeared yet, let's go find out first. If they are villains, then we will send troops to eradicate them directly, so as to prevent them from doing evil."
"And if they are just refugees, then we might as well report it to Magistrate Ming Lou and let him make proper arrangements to deal with it, so as to prevent them from going astray. But no matter what, don't worry, Master, Xiao Liu will pay attention to safety. "
Xiao Liu analyzed it one by one for Lao Xing, but no matter what the situation was, the sooner the better.
Listening to his apprentice's careful analysis, Lao Xing helplessly shook his head and smiled. He was also moved.
"I know, but you have to be careful." Lao Xing helplessly patted Xiaoliu's shoulder and said.
"Master, don't worry, I will protect myself." Xiao Liu responded with a smile.
Lao Xing looked at Xiao Liu. He actually knew that Xiao Liu had been practicing Qing Gong hard every night for the past few days. Although he didn't know where Xiao Liu learned Qing Gong from, he also knew that he had not been his apprentice for a long time. He has far surpassed himself in martial arts.
However, with Xiao Liu's outstanding martial arts talent, it is normal for him to be favored by an expert. Wasn't that swordsmanship taught to Xiao Liu by an expert?
When he thought of this, Lao Xing felt relieved, sighing, and even a little melancholy.
They are both human beings, and they are also police officers. Why is there such a big difference?
But even so, he still looked at Xiao Liu and asked with concern.
"Xiao Liu, you have to remember that you are only here to investigate. If you find bandits, you must not be reckless and must hide. If you can't, just run. If you are good at Qinggong, they will not be able to catch up with you. Remember, Don’t be reckless.”
Listening to Lao Xing's caring words, Xiao Liu also felt very warm and responded quickly with a smile.
"Remember Master."
"Just remember it. Go ahead. Master will be waiting for your return at Tongfu Inn tonight." Lao Xing patted Xiao Liu on the shoulder.
"Yes! Master!" Xiaoliu clasped his fists at the master and turned around to leave.
Lao Xing looked at Xiao Liu's retreating back and smiled happily. 'Is this apprentice about to leave his profession? Obviously he didn't teach anything? '
Then Lao Xing stopped thinking about it, turned around and walked awkwardly in the direction of Tongfu Inn. Having seen Xiao Liu's Qing Gong, he was not worried that anything would happen to Xiao Liu.
Cuiwei Mountain is a large mountain located in the south of Qixia Town, with towering peaks and lush trees.
If divided by region, this mountain should be one of the mountain systems belonging to the Qinling Mountains.
This Cuiwei Mountain is not far from Qixia Town. If you walk out of the gate of the town in the south, you can reach the foot of the mountain in about an hour.
And if Xiaoliu used Qinggong to run as fast as he wanted, this time could be greatly shortened, but Xiaoliu did not do this because he wanted to save his energy.
But after Xiaoliu left the county government, he did not go directly south, but to the west. Xiaoliu wanted to complete today's street patrol mission first, and then go to Cuiwei Mountain. After all, his master's injury was not yet there. Good again.
On the other side, Lao Xing came directly to Tongfu Inn.
At this time, in the lobby of the inn, the lazy Xiao Guo was playing with Xiao Bei with sandbags.
It turns out that Xiaobei got a new toy today, a sandbag and a few pig bones, but Xiaobei, who was exposed to these things for the first time, was not very good at playing with them.
Xiao Guo on the side was so itchy that he couldn't help but drop his hands. Xiao Guo's technique was very skillful, and Xiao Bei's eyes lit up when he saw it.
Xiao Guo looked at Xiao Bei's admiring eyes and felt a little carried away. He simply didn't even do any work and just sat on the chair in the lobby to show Xiao Bei.
Xiao Bei clapped his hands in praise after seeing this.
Xiao Guo asked with a proud smile. "How about it?"
But this time, before Xiaobei could respond, a cold and stern voice came first. "I don't think so!"
When Xiao Guo and Xiao Bei heard this sound, they immediately stood up like two mice who heard a cat's meow, trembling, and at the same time they did not forget to hide the toys in their hands.
But on this empty table, no matter where they were hiding, they saw the shopkeeper coming down the stairs, angrily sitting on her seat and scolding Xiao Guo.
"I don't know how to work all day long, I just know how to play. And I don't mind playing by myself. I even take Xiaobei to play with me."
To the shopkeeper, Xiaobei is like her daughter, and she attaches great importance to her education.
When Xiao Guo heard this, he said a little aggrieved. "Yes...she took me to play with it, okay? This thing also belongs to her."
Xiaobei on the side saw that Xiaoguo had sold her out like this, and pushed her angrily.
But when the shopkeeper asked Xiaobei how he got these things, Xiaobei mercilessly sold them to the scholar who was settling accounts at the counter.
When the scholar saw that he had been sold, he no longer adhered to the moral principles of the world, so he sold the big mouth in the kitchen.
The big mouth cook in the kitchen didn't know what happened. At first, he was very moral and refused to betray Lao Bai. However, unexpectedly, he leaked the information directly.
In this way, a small sandbag and a few pig bones implicated the entire inn.
Lao Bai is a well-known deadbeat, and he will refuse to admit it even if he is beaten to death. However, after Dazui knew that the matter was exposed, he immediately turned against him under the coercion of the shopkeeper, and quickly forced Lao Bai to admit it.
Just as the two were about to fight over a sandbag and a few pig bones, Lao Xing dared to walk in.
"What are you doing!" Seeing this scene, Lao Xing shouted loudly, and the officer's knife flashed, so frightened that the two of them quickly let go.
