Chapter 882: Turning the River Jiao
At the wine table in the back, the man surnamed Niu said: "Killing people to pay off debts and paying money, how can you say that you are wronged?" ”
Another said, "Do you know that he killed people?" No wonder you don't know, probably few people except me don't know, but it's a pity that I'm not from the government, otherwise I have to make a great contribution. ”
Xu Hao quietly took out a small mirror, placed it on the table, and observed them from the mirror.
A man in his thirties, with a few braids on his head, wearing a green cloth jacket and a black velvet shoulder, sweating and eating vegetables, grinning and hurriedly pouring saliva, snorting and inhaling, but he couldn't help but continue to eat, and that dish was the fried pork with chili peppers that had just been on the market.
The forty-year-old who spoke first wore a very elaborate white-gray jacket, a scribe's robe, a girdle, and a very conspicuous silk ribbon.
The red-faced young man put down his chopsticks, fanned his mouth vigorously, and said: "This fucking chili pepper is too evil, but it is much more delicious than Sichuan pepper, ginger and garlic. Uncle, what the hell is going on? ”
The elder said: "I listened to the music at Widow Li's house the day before yesterday, and I bumped into the second child of Fan Jiao and two friends who were having fun there, saying that this revenge was happy, but it was a pity that Wang Fu was unlucky. Think about it, isn't this what Fan Lao Er did? ”
The young man said blankly: "What revenge did he get on his mother?" This guy doesn't do good things, he does some evil things, why doesn't God accept him. ”
The elder said, "You're an earless one, do you know who he killed?" said that it can scare you to death, that is the eldest brother of Mu Yi, the commander of the Fujian Navy Division, Xu Hao and Xu Sanye, who are famous all over the world. Because of the case of his brother who robbed the sea boat in May the year before last, he was caught by Mu Dudu, and he just jumped into the sea and escaped, and six or seven people such as Li Haozi and Zhang Erfool were all corrected. The other day. Fan Lao Er probably wanted revenge, but he met Xu Hao in Jinling, so he followed all the way and did this. I don't want Wang Fu to fight for him, do you say bad luck or not? ”
The young man was shocked: "Good girl, this guy dares to live impatiently, and even dares to kill that one?" Isn't this going to be a sensation all over the world? ”
"Not really! It is estimated that it will not take a few days to find out the identity, Jiaxing may not be affected much, we have to go out quickly to avoid trouble"
The older man shook his head and sighed. "So powerful people, what do you say is okay to have fun alone? It's okay now, all rich and beautiful people are blind. What is Fan Lao Er afraid of? It's a cheap life that licks blood from the knife edge, and God kills people unknowingly, who knows who did it? Even if you find him, it's just a big deal, it's worth it! Besides, you can escape overseas, and now there are more places to go, Hanwangzhou. Yongle Continent, which is said to be bigger than our Central Plains, will never be able to catch anyone. ”
Xu Hao was surprised and delighted for a while, and he was so happy that he finally found out the real murderer. Not to his guess. It turned out that he undoubtedly bumped into a man with sarcoma on his neck and a tattoo on his chest that day, and he thought it was strange at the time, but later remembered that Mu Yi mentioned in the letter that he was arresting the bandits. is very similar to this person, but he is famous for his ferocity in the waters of Fujian, and his subordinates do not leave a living mouth.
Immediately sent out manpower, but no one was found. Because it was a ship to Jiashan, he wanted to try his luck in Jiashan, and he also knew that Fan Lao Er was a Jiashan person. One is to eliminate the pest, and the other is to play for a few days.
I don't want to be the one who attracted Jiang Jiao to follow him secretly, it can be seen that he has been lurking in Jinling for more than a day, probably because the Mu family is heavily defended, and he happened to see that he was alone, and he intended to take revenge on his relatives.
Surprised that he almost made a bad mistake and let the deceased die in vain, could it be that Fan Lao Er was short-sighted? Or the black light blindly mistook the well-dressed young man for himself, and the death was unknown anyway.
Since it was confirmed that it was the second child who turned over the river and came at him, Xu Hao couldn't ignore it to the end.
After paying the bill, he returned to his residence, because such outlaws are accustomed to fleeing, and they are the most alert, and it is easy for him to escape by sending someone to catch them, or to startle the snake, and to be stared at by such a scourge to the family and even relatives and friends, it is simply a bone gangrene.
Therefore, it is better to follow the plan and use clever tricks to make him automatically take the bait, and it is best to arrest people on the street where there is no way to escape.
At dawn the next day, Xu Hao walked out of the door and coughed lightly under Dr. Pei's eaves, and the person quickly came out in clothes.
Xu Hao whispered; "The culprit already has a name and surname, and his nickname is Fan Jiao, who is called Fan Laoer. He was in his thirties, and there was a sarcoma behind his ear, and if anyone really asked for a tumor to be cured today, he had to try to hold it on the spot. ”
Dr. Pei was surprised and delighted, nodded and understood, he was the only one who listened to Xu Hao's doubts, and secretly said that Mr. Xu is really a noble person who does great things, and he is attentive everywhere and pays attention to every step, which is called an adult's carefulness, which shows that there is nothing difficult in the world, but only people with hearts.
In order to protect Dr. Pei's personal safety, Xu Hao called Li Yi up and told him to be by his side at all times, not to stay away, and to take the murderer immediately once the prisoner was identified.
Li Yi is a fast catch specially ordered by Cheng County, he is in the prime of life, his martial arts are good, and he is also shrewd and capable. Of course, there are many people under Xu Hao who can use it, but as soon as he opens his mouth, his accent will be exposed, so he can't use it.
A large number of people were secretly arranged over there, and Dr. Pei and Li Yi were asked to wait for the rabbit, and here he went to the bridge.
Lao Feng is a businessman who sets up a word measuring stall on the bridge, but his skills are not enough, his business is weak, and he doesn't even have a person. Xu Hao walked over and asked, "Where is Zhao Shengren?" ”
Lao Feng said: "It hasn't been a lot of work in the past, and it must be still ahead." ”
Xu Hao looked for the past, and after walking a short distance, he saw Zhao Sheng walking slowly ahead, wearing a long coat full of patches, hunched over, and kicking a pair of rag shoes.
On this miserable image, people are still pacing in a square step, chanting as they walk: "When we meet in Pingshui, we are all guests from other places; Qingyun has a way, help me, the champion talent, there are kind-hearted people with discerning eyes! ”
Xu Hao wanted to laugh a little, and quickly chased after him and patted him on the shoulder, startling Zhao Sheng, and when he turned around, he blushed, embarrassed by what he said before.
Xu Hao asked: "You are a local, Lehu Li's widow's family, do you know where it is?" ”
Zhao Sheng said: "In Baihua Lane in the north of the street, I went to see it once yesterday. ”
"Let's go, let's go over and have a look." Xu Hao said that he was about to leave.
Zhao Sheng hurriedly said: "Where can we get in the door when we are dressed like this?" ”
Xu Hao said: "It's okay, let's give him money first, can we accept it?" ”
"This also makes it. Rich is an uncle. At that moment, Zhao Sheng led the way in front.
After turning two corners, I crossed a street building, passed a torii and two bridges, and came to the alley where the local Lehu families were gathered. Although the imperial court has pardoned countless lowly people, how easy is it for many Lehu families to practice this lowly business for decades or even hundreds of years? Again, the way to make money in the skin and meat business is simple, ancient and enduring and the atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty is like this, and the discrimination in society is not easy to change.
There is a black-painted gate at the entrance of the alley, and there is a street gate on the east side of the inside. The two flowers were separated from each other, the lantern used to receive guests was removed, and a paper-cut gourd was pasted on the door frame.
Zhao Sheng pointed and said, "This is it." ”
Xu Hao pushed open the gate, stepped forward and reached out and flicked the door twice. A middle-aged woman came out of it, her head wrapped in cyan crepe, wearing a blue silk cotton jacket, a blue satin gown, and black silk trousers wrapped in embroidered socks.
The charm of applying grease and powder on the face is still there. Before he opened his mouth, he was already full of amorous feelings, and his expression was frivolous.
Xu Hao said: "The two of us made a special trip to visit and ask for a bowl of tea. ”
Widow Li climbed the door frame with one hand and crossed her waist with the other. With slanted eyes, he looked the two of them up and down, twisted his body back, and said, "You two are wrong." We're not a teahouse here. ”
Before he finished speaking, he was about to close the door casually, and Xu Hao stepped forward. blocked the door panel, turned out a silver ingot in his hand, and said with a smile: "We are famous, how can we go wrong?" These five taels of silver, please make us a pot of tea casually, sit down for a while, and rest. ”
When Widow Li saw the silver, she smiled and said, "Look, I'm so confused, I don't even recognize my own people." As he spoke, he opened the door, "Come and sit inside." ”
Xu Hao walked inside, Widow Li saw that he was generous, even if his clothes were shabby, but after a closer look, he turned out to be a first-class handsome, and he took the initiative to reach out and hold the man's arm with a smile, squeezing his full chest hard, which made Zhao Sheng in the back envious.
Walked into the backyard, passed through the moon gate, and there were five low houses facing south. Widow Li lifted the curtain of the door and shouted, "Si'er, there is a guest, don't come out soon." ”
A coquettish voice came from next door, "Let me come after washing my face." ”
Xu Hao glanced at the room, which was two long rooms. There is a kang table against the wall in the west room, covered with half-used bright red mattress pillows. On the kang table, there is a large basket of Buddha's hands, four flower kang screens, and a painting of colorful peonies is held outward. There are vases and hat mirrors on the table, and there is an incense plate on the middle table, with a sandalwood fragrance.
There was a lute hanging on the wall, and the room was fairly clean, so he sat on the east stool.
Zhao Sheng didn't dare to sit, Xu Hao signaled to do it, and sat down on the chair in the west. Widow Li poured tea and asked, "What are the two uncles?" ”
Xu Hao said: "My surname is Zhang, and his surname is Zhou. We have admired the name of your girl for a long time, and today we have come to see it. ”
While he was talking, a servant brought a pot of new tea and two plates of snacks, and Widow Li walked over to pick it up and said, "Tell the girl to come quickly." ”
Zhao Sheng said: "I'm not busy. ”
Widow Li said, "I lit the lamp, don't just sit, lie down and rest." ”
As he spoke, he moved the kang table away and set the wax table on fire. Xu Hao followed the customs, walked over and leaned against the wall above, Zhao Sheng also took the tea, and before he sat down, there was movement next door, and it seemed that someone came out and kept walking out.
Zhao Sheng looked out of the window, but he couldn't see clearly, Widow Li pulled his sleeve and said, "Hurry up and sit down, what is there to see." ”
At this time, the curtain was lifted, and Sister Fan, who was a middle-aged person, walked in, about eighteen years old.
Sister Fan came in, stared at the two of them for a while with dark eyes, suddenly smiled again, covered her mouth with a sweat towel, and the other carried a peony fan, and sat down gently on the edge of the kang.
Widow Li stared at Xu Hao with some nostalgia, and took a few steps to hide out.
Xu Hao couldn't help but be perfunctory when he got here, and said with a smile: "How old is this year?" Your hands are so white, like green onions" and said, "He! Your hair is really smooth, and your face is smooth and delicate, what kind of gouache do you use? (To be continued......)
