Peerless - Chapter 136

Chapter 136

“This note was given to me by Li Shisi at the banquet last night. No matter what he said is not credible, but he no doubt pointed out the place to us, so we don’t need to bother to find it.”

Facing the doubtful or doubtful eyes of everyone, Cui didn’t take it easy.

Rong Qing’s expression moved: “So, the author of the three paintings is also him?”

Cui did not answer this question, but talked about his findings from these three pictures.

The image of the first picture depicts the wearing attitude of the man in the official uniform, so the opponent must be a person familiar with officialdom. Otherwise, ordinary civilians, even what grade of official is not clear about what suit color, let alone draw such a direction Sexually clear painting.

The burial under the tree in the second painting, which has now been excavated by Qiao Xian himself, has proven to be true. Judging from the bones and leftover clothes, it is likely that they were victims, but why were they killed? If they kill each other, no one will bury them afterwards, and there will not be such a large burial pit, so there is only one explanation. Those people were killed, and the perpetrators did not want to be found. Therefore, the corpse was buried, and the soil was washed away a lot by the flood, so when Qiao Xian passed by again, he easily dug it out.

Cui didn’t say anything. Looking around the crowd, she saw the shocked look on their faces.

Rong Qing’s face was pale and unfaded, and he staggered to his feet, even more dismayed: “I know, I know … these victims must have wanted to enter the city to escape the disaster, but Huang slightly ordered the slaughter!”

The mission was about to come, but the victims were unable to linger outside the city. This is impossible to explain, but there was not enough food in the city, or Huang Lue and the large households in the city did not want to waste food to help these victims, so they killed them directly. The victims were already hungry and dizzy. Faced with this massacre, they had no resistance at all.

If this speculation is true, then the entire Guangqian County, from county orders to those large landlords, may be murderers or accomplices.

“Huang slightly **** it!” Rong Qing slammed his fist on the table, scolded fiercely.

He glanced up and looked at Cui not to go: “I’ll write and play now, up and down, Chen Ming here!”

Cui didn’t go back and asked, “If the victims died just outside the city before they arrived, Huang slightly avoided the spread of the plague, so people buried it. What do you say?”

Rong Qing looked fiercely: “If so, how could they have a knife wound on them!”

Qiao Xian swaggered: “It’s not easy. They said that they killed each other when they were hungry. At that time, there was no food in the city. Huang slightly dared not let people in. As a result, people would die if hesitated. Evidence that he was at best an oversight in this matter. It is no small feat to be able to keep a city from being hit by the flood.

Rong Qing’s neck seemed to be pinched, and there was no sound.

Cui didn’t go to Qiao Xian and said, “Go check Li 14 and see when he came to Guangqian County, and whether the Li family really has such a person.”

Qiao Xian was led away.

Rong Qing couldn’t help but said, “What about the third picture?”

Cui does not go: “Qixia Mountain Villa, you can go.”

Without waiting for Rong Qing to show a smile, Cui raised a finger before he went.

“It’s just me, not you.”

Rong Qing froze a moment and said busyly: “Cui Zunshi, you can’t cross the river to tear down the bridge!”

Cui did not laugh at his words: “If Qixia Villa is really related to this matter, then it must be guarded and hidden, and it is not me who is going, are you going?”

The only masters present were Guan Shanhai and Qiao Xian, both of whom Cui could not go. Of course, Rong Qing could not command them.

Rong Qing froze suddenly.

He felt that after he came here, the clues were down, and nothing was done.

Now I know that there are countless problems hidden here, but I can’t understand a thread.

Rong Qing’s ambitious ambitions when he left Beijing were fragile in the face of reality.

Qiao Xian will be back soon.

Li Shishi does have someone, so it’s not difficult to find out. Just ask at Li’s shop, and because of his absurdity, no one would doubt anyone who asked.

“It is said that he was the nephew of the family of the Li family. He has been in the country since he was a child. He is terrible, unbearable in training, and unable to study and martial arts. Jumping and having to kick him to the county seat, asked the Li family to arrange an errand for him, so as not to become more nonsense. Who knew that when he arrived here, he intensified, not only to coax the Li family up and down, but also to see a family The man in the room provokes peach blossoms everywhere, but he has done a few errands well, so Mrs. Li and her are close to him. “

“I inquired for a while and found that he came to Guangqian County after the heavy rain started, about five or six days ago.”

Rong Qing said, “The rain started to rain ten days ago. The heavy rain caused the water level to rise and spread rapidly. It was about four days after it was flooded outside Guangqian City, which means Li Shishi didn’t see it with his own eyes!”

Cui didn’t look at Guan Shanhai: “What do you think?”

He did not regard Guan Shanhai as a pure guard, but looked at him more closely. Guan Shanhai also gradually tamed, not resisting the resistance as he did at the beginning. For Guan Shanhai, it is an irrevocable fact that Cui did not go. With the solitary queen’s emphasis on Zuo Yueshi, his errand may not end at one and a half. Instead of being dissatisfied, it is better to be honest Get the job done.

So Guan Shanhai seriously added: “As Li Shishi, it is impossible to trust suddenly when he comes, so he has not witnessed the bones buried under the tree at all, unless he hears it. But for such an important matter, we have not received any news. How can he know in a few days? Therefore, these three paintings are most likely not from his hands. He will agree that Qixia Villa should be just a coincidence. “

Cui did not nod his head: “But I still have to go.”

Qiao Xian frowned: “Honor!”

Cui didn’t raise her hand, she calmed down immediately.

“Last night, at the banquet, Li Shiji was born. He should not speak frequently and very high-profile. After him, Huang Lue and Li Jiading’s family, who should have converged, have been unable to restrain their words to anger Rong Yushi. . “

In the eyes of others, Li Shishi may be mischievous, but Cui does not think that his hand is very Fengxiao style, seemingly mischievous to elicit the attitude of everyone present.

“The county guard was slow and Huang was slightly silent. Li Yan, a county coward, was more prestigious than the county magistrate. Ding, Li, and others did not take Rong Yushi to the eye at all. But if Li Shiji had not climbed high, Huh, these people may still be laughing and laughing, and they will join together to perform a feast.

Coaxing Rong Yu Shi to be dizzy, maybe he really wrote a letter to the court asking for another allocation of food.

Rong Qing was very angry. Waking up early in the morning, he realized that he was almost caught in the trap of Huang Lue and others, but did not expect that he was played so thoroughly.

Guan Shanhai thoughtfully.

Qiao Xian frowned, and she found that Cui did not have an unusual trust in Li Shishi.

Cui didn’t think he was Feng Xiao posing, so he speculated in this direction.

But what if his guess is wrong?

In case Li 14 is not Feng Xiao, even if he is really Feng Xiao, but he is deliberate and deliberately leads Cui not to enter the trap?

“If the painting was not done by Li Shishi, who would it be?”

Cui did not ask Rong Qing to take out the first two paintings, and put the three together for comparison. The result was more obvious.

The brushstrokes of the third painting are obviously more rough and random than the first two, with a few strokes, which outline the master mouse and the villa.

Explaining that it was drawn in a hurry, even if the ink stains are dry and can’t be reloaded, they are hurriedly sent over.

Rong Qing did not pay attention in the past, but now if you look closely, you also find a lot of problems.

“This person has good painting skills and must not be ordinary people. He can know these things and must have a certain status in this county, and he must have access to the core secrets. Maybe it is one of the people Li and Ding. One.”

Although impulsive, he calmed down and proved that he was not useless.

“The third painting was sent in the morning, which means that he has been observing our every move in the dark. If I and Huang Lue were together in the same night last night, I am afraid that this painting will not be sent today. Mr. Cui, you said , Will the other party also participate in the banquet last night? “

Cui did not bow his head: “This person is not just an ordinary person, he must have considerable accomplishments in painting and calligraphy. Although he tried his best to erase his traces, he can still see that he has done well. Laoguan, you check it, last night Among those who went to the banquet, who is better than calligraphy and painting has a small reputation. “

Guan Shanhai left silently and had no opinion on the title of Laoguan.

He may have realized that the situation in Guangqian County is like a mess, and it is impossible to break through the encirclement by martial arts alone. The existence of Cui does not go is the backbone of everyone. Not to mention that he and Qiao Xian couldn’t even get used to it at first. Rong Qing of the Zuo Yue Bureau, unknowingly leaning on Cui, followed him.

Although this Mr. Cui is ill, he can’t even raise his spirits most of the time, but in front of him, it seems that all uncertainty is resolved, and the problem is no longer a problem.

Breakfast was quickly delivered, and everyone was a little bit insipid. Rong Qing got up and went out with a few sips, saying that she had to think about any new clues.

Maybe he also saw that Qiao Xian had something to say, so he found an excuse to leave, and Cui did not stop without stopping.

As soon as Rong Qing stepped forward, Qiao Xian couldn’t wait to say, “Exalted envoy, let the genus go tonight!”

Cui did not go: “With regard to mountains and seas, you don’t have to worry about it. Feng Xiao left this clue. It must have his reason.”

He has determined that Li Shishi is Feng Xiao.

Qiao Xian pursed his lips.

Cui doesn’t go to deal with Feng Xiao much more than himself. He is such a smart person, he must have recognized Feng Xiao from all clues.

“However, the envoy, after all, Feng Xiao is a man from Xiejian Mansion. Every move he takes is to understand the sword mansion. Just like the last time in Tiannan Mountain, he surrendered and wiped out the stronghold on the 13th floor of Yunhai in Tiannan Mountain. You have been seriously injured, but he has relied on him, his skill is even higher, and he even shares the credit with us. Do you think that he will come here for no purpose, just to remind you? “

Cui does not look up.

“what do you want to say in the end?”

Qiao Xian passed a trace of struggling on his face, and knelt down directly and decisively, looking up at him.

“Subordinates believe that your trust in Feng Xiao’s attention has been passed.”

Cui didn’t go but smiled: “Oh? What is the line? Who will decide, you?”

He is angry. Qiao Xian could hear it, but she kept talking.

“Zun Shi, Feng Xiao and we are not all the same. He seems to be uninhibited, but he is savvy. Since Liugong City so far, everyone who has cooperated with Zun Shi has never suffered a loss. This time, it must be for something else. In Guangqian County, maybe he wants you to explore the road, and he sits in the back for the benefit of the fisherman! “

Cui did not nod his head: “I know, what you said is very suitable for him.”

Qiao Xian: “Why do you still believe him!”

why?

Cui did not think.

He remembered the knife Feng Xiao stabbed at himself in the cave that day.

At that time, he was not angry and not surprised, because he had already calculated the cause and effect, and understood Feng Xiao’s reason for doing so. If Feng Xiao’s sword did not come across, it would be foolish.

The kindness of women is not suitable for them.

But he did not expect that Feng Xiao, who was in Fan Yun’s mouth, had obviously left, but came to him in order to return, and was entangled by Yuxiu.

If Feng Xiao departs earlier and crosses the matrix with the methods he has taught, there is no need to be trapped inside.

Because the other party came to him, he also went to the other party.

Perhaps from that moment, the two talents are really entangled with each other, and there is no difference between grievances.

“Excuse the Emperor, Jiejian Mansion now seems to be living with us peacefully because of Feng Xiao, but Her Majesty will not be happy to see Zuo Yue Bureau walking so close to Jie Jian Mansion. Feng Xiao is close to you, but with ulterior motives ! “

Qiao Xian never interfered with Cui not going, she would just follow Cui not go, and obey Cui not to go, no matter how dangerous it would be.

However, she was faintly hostile to Feng Xiao from the beginning, and now she can’t hold back anymore.

Cui did not blink: “What he can get from me can be obtained from His Majesty. Why bother?”

Qiao Xian gritted his teeth: “But if he hits you!”

Cui didn’t go for a moment, and it seemed that Qiao Xian wouldn’t think so, and couldn’t help laughing, the laughter couldn’t stop, and he bent down and laughed uncontrollably.

Qiao Xian blushed.

Cui didn’t laugh for a long time before sitting up again and shaking her head: “Impossible.”

He doesn’t go, he is going to die, he is sick, and he can see the spring of next year, but he may not see the next year.

And Feng Xiao, martial arts appearance, confessed that the world is unparalleled, even the peerless beauty Feng Xiaoli despised it, and hated to live his own portrait for a lifetime. Such a person would look at the vicious and mean, Cui does not go?

“Qiao Xian, you’re mistaken. I and him are not enemies or friends, but I can recognize him and believe that he will not be targeted.”

“That tomorrow night, if he doesn’t go to the appointment?” Qiao Xian asked.

Cui did not pause for a moment, “No.”

Such a sure answer.

Qiao Xian suddenly made a guess.

This speculation made her dare and refuse to think deeply.

Faithful means to care.

For Feng Cui, has Feng Xiao become a concern?

Maybe he didn’t even notice it.

Or maybe he didn’t want to be sure.

When walking from Liugong City to Guangqian County, the traces of the dense winding meandering on the map form more than half of the Northern Dynasties. Isn’t it enough to impress the iron-hearted Cui?

But Feng Xiao, is it really worth it?

At three o’clock in the afternoon, Guan Shanhai returned.

Rong Qing also hurried into the room.

Just before Cui did not talk to Qiao Xian, they did not know. Although they noticed that the atmosphere in the room was strange, no one asked unconsciously.

Guan Shanhai brought back a crucial message.

“The eunuch, the history of tolerance, and the time is short. His subordinates can only roughly check the county guard Yang Yun, the county commander Huang Lue, the county officer Li Yan, the county Wei Wuyi, and several well-known large households in the city. Zhao and Zhong’s family found that Huang Lue was quite accomplished in calligraphy and painting. He once studied under Dong Boren, a style teacher, and came to Guangqian County to take office. Ding, Li, and others also came to seek paintings to please Huang Lue. At the next half-time, you will not find Huang Lue’s handwriting, so you will go to the city’s calligraphy and painting antique shop and ask for a copy of Dong Boren. “

He unfolded the paintings brought back and spread them out in front of everyone.

Rong Qing snorted first and compared the second and third paintings.

“The way of painting the leaves is really like it!”

But then there were more problems.

Why did Huang Lue send three paintings to Rong Qing, provide him with clues and let him investigate the disaster food? Did n’t the other party find out that Huang Lue would be involved?

This discovery is not as frightening as flying stones, smashing everyone into a daze.

Rong Qing was horrified, for fear of seeing too much, comparing and contrasting several paintings.

“Two possibilities.”

Cui did not go: “He may have done it deliberately, doing the opposite, misleading us, and destroying us in one fell swoop. Another possibility is that he is in Cao Ying’s heart and is in Han, and he does not want to contaminate the same, but he dares not to speak. This is the only way to remind you euphemistically that if you get nothing, he will be fine, and if the court investigates, he will be able to avoid the scourge by reporting.

Rong Qing took a deep breath, and the result of the comparison made him even more shocked.

He was also in the cold for ten years, and even the students from the Qin chess, calligraphy and painting came from these fields. These paintings, from flowers and trees to mountain rocks, are in the same vein.

In other words, these three paintings, in all likelihood, are indeed made by Huang Lue.

“Mr. Cui, let me go with you tonight!” Rong Qing asked again.

Cui did not refuse: “No, you stay here, Huang Lue will give you three paintings, maybe he will give you a fourth one, you can be here to get more clues.”

Rong Qing still wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing, nodded and obeyed.

With Qiao Xian and Guan Shanhai, it is safe for Cui not to go, and Cui does not go, they may find more in Qixia Villa and find the key to the case.

Rong Qing smelled a little danger, and the smell of mountain rain was coming to the wind.

But at this time, he had not expected that Cui would encounter great dangers if he did not visit them.

Because in his opinion, even if these three people are in danger, Guan Shanhai and Qiao Xian are enough to protect Cui from fleeing.

Even if Cui didn’t go to them, he thought so.

…

That night.

Approaching child.

The heavy rain has stopped for a long time, and the flood has receded a little. The people saw the rain passing by the clear dawn, and their fear and fear have been alleviated for many days, and this sleep is especially sweet.

But in the sky, dark clouds gathered quietly again, covering the stars and moons. If there was no wind to blow them away, there would be another heavy rain, which would make Guangqian County worse.

Outside Qixia Mountain Resort, there was a cold silence.

Even the mountain bird concealed its figure, the gate of the villa was closed, but there were dark shadows inside, indicating that the place was loose and tight inside, and someone was guarding it.

The leaves were rustling and the wind began to blow.

Three shadows floated gently on the roof, and then slid from the roof into the backyard.

No one noticed.
