Not long after the carriage left the south gate, it was getting dark, and the speed of the carriage slowed down a lot.

Looking at the dark night outside the window, Li Baosheng turned his head to look at Xiao Han, and suddenly frowned.

"Brother Xiao Han, after we left the Cyclamen Hotel, we immediately rented this carriage and rushed to the temple in the south of the city, and the speed was naturally not slow."

Speaking of this, Li Baosheng's tone paused, but then, without waiting for Xiao Han to answer his words, he continued to speak to himself.

"Brother Xiao Han, I remember those beggars once said that Su Mazi and they didn't have been walking for a long time, if they walked and we took the carriage, wouldn't we have to go to the ruined temple outside the south of the city before them?"

Hearing Li Baosheng's words, Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands violently, and sighed, "I forgot about this matter, forgetting that they were on foot, and we were in a carriage." ”

Li Baosheng asked tentatively, "Brother Xiaohan, it's better for us to wait, maybe we don't have to go to the broken temple outside the south of the city, we can stop them halfway, right?" ”

Hearing Li Baosheng's words, Xiao Han thought for a moment before slowly shaking his head, "Anyway, let's go to the broken temple outside the south of the city first, if they go back, we will naturally be able to find them." ”

Li Baosheng frowned, "Brother Xiao Han, but we have been walking along the official road for so long, why haven't we seen Su Mazi and their shadows?" ”

Speaking of this, Li Baosheng's tone paused, but then, without waiting for Xiao Han to answer his words, he continued to speak to himself.

"It stands to reason that it is so dark outside, and it is not easy to walk in the woods on the side of the official road at night, and the best way for them is to walk on the official road.

But we don't see them on the official road, so what is the reason for that? ”

Hearing Li Baosheng's question, Xiao Han turned his head to look out the window, and then said with a smile, "Now Su Mazi and they are like frightened birds, they must have already hid under the road when they heard a carriage coming from a distance, how could we see them?" ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Han's tone paused, but then, he didn't wait for Li Baosheng to answer his words, so he continued to speak to himself.

"So it's basically impossible to see Su Mazi and them on the road.

We rushed to the broken temple first, and then hid in the woods on the side of the road, and when Su Mazi and the others came, we could naturally catch them easily. ”

……

Along the way, the carriage also met some people on the official road, but unfortunately, these people were from the nearby villages, and there was no shadow of Su Mazi.

The carriage went all the way, although it was not very fast, and it had been walking for nearly an hour, when Xiao Han and Li Baosheng, who were sitting in the carriage, heard a shout from the coachman.

"Two poor masters, there is a ruined temple outside the south of the city in front, where do you get off?"

Hearing the coachman's question, Xiao Han hurriedly poked his head out of the car window and looked forward, although he couldn't see the appearance of the ruined temple in the south of the city, he could already see the outline of the ruined temple in the south of the city, and a trace of fire from the ruined temple.

Seeing this, Xiao Han hurriedly shouted, "Stop, let's get off here?" ”

Hearing Xiao Han's shouting, the coachman drove the carriage to the side of the road, then stopped the carriage and turned his head to look at the carriage.

"Two poor masters, the car is parked, you get out of the car!"

Xiao Han jumped out of the carriage first, looked at the surrounding terrain, and then came to the coachman's side, and said in a low voice, "You find a place to hide, don't let people see it!" ”

Hearing Xiao Han's command, the coachman was about to nod, when he heard Xiao Han continue.

"You drive the carriage forward and go on, and after walking some distance, you stop and hide.

Remember, don't go the same way, you know? ”

Hearing this, the coachman nodded hurriedly, "Two poor masters, the villain drove the carriage forward, I don't know when he will come to pick you up?" ”

Speaking of this, the coachman's tone paused, and then he continued with some embarrassment, "Two poor masters, that, when will the car pay for it?" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Han came to his senses, hurriedly took out some copper coins and threw them to the coachman, and said with a smile, "These are deposits, and when you pull us back, I will make up the rest for you." ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Han's tone paused before continuing, "If we go back early, we will go to the front to find you."

If we don't go looking for you, wait until dawn and you'll come back here to pick us up, understand? ”

The coachman took the copper coins, and at a casual glance, he knew that they were half the rent of the car, and even if he returned to the old empty car now, he would definitely not suffer.

The coachman hurriedly smiled and nodded, and said cautiously, "Two poor masters, the villain will go up to the front and wait."

If you don't go to the villain, the villain will wait for the dawn to pick you up, right? ”

Hearing the coachman's answer, Xiao Han waved his hand and said in a low voice, "Go quickly, don't let people see it." ”

The coachman put the copper coins away, and then he raised his horsewhip, shouted in his mouth, and drove the carriage along the road.

In fact, the broken temple outside the south of the city is not far from the official road, turn down the path in front of Xiao Han and Li Baosheng, about two or three hundred meters, and you can walk to the front of the broken temple.

At this moment, in fact, the carriage did not get off the official road, and continued to move forward according to Xiao Han's instructions.

After the carriage melted into the darkness, Xiao Han turned his head to Li Baosheng and winked, and the two walked along the path towards the broken temple.

When the two came to a place about 100 meters away from the broken temple, Xiao Han grabbed Li Baosheng, raised his head to the woods next to him, and took the lead in walking towards the woods.

The two walked into the woods, and then cautiously approached the ruined temple from the woods.

At the edge of the woods, about 50 meters away from the broken temple, the two stopped at the edge of the woods, found a slightly taller bush, and sat down.

At this moment, where the two of them were, they could already hear various sounds coming from the ruined temple.

The sound of talking, footsteps .......

Li Baosheng was in a hurry, and after waiting for a while, seeing that no one came out of the broken temple, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xiao Han, and asked in a low voice.

"Brother Xiao Han, did you say that Su Mazi and them are not in this broken temple now?"

Xiao Han smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It shouldn't be there, after all, they are on foot, we are in a carriage, how can they be faster than us?" ”

Li Baosheng asked again, "Brother Xiao Han, since Su Mazi and they are not here, why don't I go in and ask to see if Su Mazi and they have come back?" ”

Hearing Li Baosheng's words, Xiao Han frowned, lowered his head and muttered for a moment, then slowly shook his head, "No, Su Mazi hasn't come back yet, it's just our guess, in case, he also hired a carriage, then wouldn't they have come back a long time ago." ”

Hearing this, Li Baosheng suddenly became a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "Brother Xiao Han, if that's the case, wouldn't Su Mazi and them be inside?" ”

Speaking of this, Li Baosheng's tone paused, but then, without waiting for Xiao Han to answer his words, he continued to speak to himself. Passionate about e-books

"Brother Xiaohan, then what are we waiting for, hurry up and go in and arrest someone?"

Xiao Han turned his head to look at Li Baosheng and asked with a wry smile, "Li Baosheng, do you know Su Mazi?" ”

Hearing Xiao Han's question, Li Baosheng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that he really didn't know Su Mazi?

Although he didn't know Su Mazi, he thought about it, and then said with a smile, "Brother Xiaohan, what's so difficult about this, since Su Mazi is called Su Mazi, it must be because he has pockmarks on his face, and when the time comes, we just need to see who has pockmarks on their faces, won't we be able to find Su Mazi?" ”

Hearing Li Baosheng's answer, the child couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "Li Baosheng, do you think that the reason why Su Ma is called Su Mazi is because he has a face full of hemp seeds?" ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Han's tone paused, but then, he didn't wait for Li Baosheng to answer his words, so he continued to speak to himself.

"Li Baosheng, this is maybe, maybe, Su Mazi only has two or three pockmarks on his face, so how do you find it?"

Hearing Xiao Han's words, Li Baosheng said a little unconvinced, "Su Mazi only has two or three pockmarks on his face, so how can he be called Su Mazi?"

Since this is the case, then wouldn't everyone have to call him by his real name, just like Su Laosan, Li Laosan and the like, how can he be called Su Mazi? ”

Xiao Han turned his head to look at Li Baosheng and asked with a smile, "Why is it impossible?" ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Han's tone paused, but then, he didn't wait for Li Baosheng to answer his words, so he continued to speak to himself.

"For example, if you just know each other and don't know each other's names, you can only call each other's characteristics.

For example, if the other party is fat, it is called fat, and if the other party is thin, it is called thin.

No one knows what Su Mazi's name is, seeing that there are two or three pockmarks on his face, maybe others called him Mazi at first, and when they knew what his surname was, they didn't bother to change it anymore, so they directly added a surname to this feature, and it became Su Mazi.

After a long time, this title is known, and naturally it can't be changed, right? ”

After hearing Xiao Han's words, Li Baosheng couldn't help but be stunned, and said with a wry smile, "If that's the case, then even if we see Su Mazi, I'm afraid we won't be able to recognize him?" ”

Xiao Han nodded, "Yes, that's what I'm worried about.

Think about it, if we rush in now and ask them if they know Su Mazi, in case, Su Mazi is inside, but he doesn't admit it, and we don't know him, maybe we will let him go, wouldn't we miss the opportunity? ”

Hearing Xiao Han's words, Li Baosheng frowned, "Brother Xiao Han, if it is as you say,"

Then even if we wait any longer, I'm afraid it's useless, as long as we don't know Su Mazi, he may run away at any time!

Xiao Han shook his head, "We are staying here now, if someone wants to go away, then there is a good chance that he is Su Mazi, even if he is not, it is also Su Mazi's gang." ”

Li Baosheng turned his head to look at the door of the broken temple and sighed, "But if we wait like this, when will we wait, maybe tomorrow morning?" ”

Xiao Han shook his head, "No, I think there will definitely be a beggar coming out in a while, and when the time comes, we will catch this beggar and ask him secretly, won't we know everything?" ”

Li Baosheng was stunned for a moment, "Why did those beggars come out?" ”

Hearing Li Baosheng's question, Xiao Han teased and said, "Li Baosheng, don't you come out before going to bed?" ”

Hearing this, Li Baosheng suddenly woke up, nodded hurriedly, lowered his voice and said with a smile, "Wait for them to come out in a while, we will arrest them!" ”

This is easier said than done, and the two of them waited in the woods for nearly an hour, until at last a beggar came out of the ruined temple.

When the beggar turned his head, the fire light from the broken temple shone on the beggar's face, and Xiao Han was overjoyed when he saw this person's appearance.

The beggar who came out was the same one they had interrogated.

Originally, Xiao Han was still a little worried, if the beggars who came out were the three people from Su Mazi and his group, wouldn't it be bad.

Seeing the beggar come out, Li Baosheng had quietly stood up from the ground, half-squatting and looking at the beggar who was walking towards him.

The beggar came to the edge of the woods, found a tree and began to shush.

Li Baosheng was about to step forward to catch him, but was stopped by Xiao Han.

Wouldn't it be a little too embarrassing to catch the beggar at such a time?

When the beggar was finished, Xiao Han quietly approached behind him, stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, and said in a low voice.

"Don't be afraid, we are people from the yamen, I want to ask you a few questions?"

The beggar who was covered by Xiao Han was covered with cold sweat on his forehead at this moment, and even his body couldn't stop trembling, and he wanted to speak, how could he say it.

Li Baosheng came to the beggar over there and said with a smile, "Don't struggle, take a good look, it's us, not a bad guy!" ”

After seeing Li Baosheng wearing a fast hunting suit, the beggar over there immediately remembered the questioning, and he was a little relieved in his heart, nodded vigorously, and signaled that he would not shout.

Seeing that the beggar recognized Li Baosheng and saw him nodding, Xiao Han slowly let go of his hand and said in a low voice.

"Let's go, let's go to the woods!"

After speaking, Xiao Han beckoned to the beggar and walked behind the bush first.

The beggar was just stunned for a moment, knowing that these two people were catchers in the yamen, so he was relieved, and followed Xiao Han into the woods.

By the time the beggar came to the bushes, Li Baosheng was already a little impatient and asked, "Don't talk nonsense, I just want to ask you, did Su Mazi go back?" ”

Hearing Li Baosheng's question, the beggar hurriedly waved his hand and replied in a low voice, "Back to the two poor masters, Su Mazi and they haven't come back yet." ”

Hearing the beggar's words, Xiao Han was a little relieved, and asked with a smile, "Since Su Mazi and they haven't come back yet, why don't you go back, and we'll wait for them here?" ”

Hearing Xiao Han's command, the beggar stood up and said with a smile, "Two poor masters, since you have nothing to do, then I will go back?" ”

Xiao Han nodded, "Go back!" ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Han's tone paused before continuing, "When you go back, remember, don't talk about our affairs with anyone, do you understand?" ”

Hearing this, the beggar hurriedly nodded, "Two poor masters, don't worry, the villain will definitely not say, if I say it, then you will arrest me ......!" ”

Xiao Han waved his hand to interrupt what he wanted to continue, "Okay, go back quickly, save yourself from being suspicious!" ”

The beggar hurriedly hugged Xiao Han with a fist, turned around and left the woods, looked around to see that there was no one around, and then returned to the ruined temple.
