Fu Jingene took the third and eighth children to Hezhou quickly, while Ke Heng walked slowly behind with a hundred soldiers.

According to Fu Jingene's plan, they first disguised themselves and went into the city to inquire about the news, and then went to Guan Yanlei, the envoy of the inspectorate, to ask for money. As a result, when he entered the city, he found that there were officers and soldiers at the gate of the city checking them.

Fu Jingene took a cold look and found that these officers and soldiers focused on interrogating those who went out of the city, and let them go after interrogating those who entered the city.

After Lao Ba stepped forward and took out the identity documents and road guide of their group, the officers and soldiers read it and let them go.

When they entered the city, a few people found that the streets were also full of officers and soldiers, and the eighth said in Hokkien dialect to Fu Jingene: "I don't know what happened?" ”

Fu Jingene glanced at him and said lightly: "What kind of Hokkien are you talking about here, for fear that others won't notice you?" ”

The four of them walked a short distance, saw an inn and went in.

After entering the room, the eighth child took a piece of broken silver and gave it to Xiao Er: "When we came, we saw that the streets were full of officers and soldiers, what happened to make such a big formation?" ”

Xiao Er lowered his voice and said, "According to the inspector, Lord Guan was assassinated, and now the whole city is under martial law to hunt for assassins!" ”

Fu Jingene's pupils shrank, and Guan Yanlei was actually stabbed by someone, is it a coincidence or someone excludes dissidents. The fundamental judgment should be the latter one.

The eighth child was amazed and asked, "Who is so bold as to dare to assassinate the Inspector?" ”

"This master, be quiet, it will attract officers and soldiers."

Fu Jingene asked, "Then is this envoy dead?" ”

Xiao Er said in a deeper and deeper voice: "I'm injured, it's said that the injury is relatively serious." The same is true that the whole city is now under martial law, and now there is a search for Assassins everywhere. ”

Even their inn will not be able to live in peace.

When the third child heard this, he was immediately annoyed and said: "This luck is really back, how did you run into martial law in the whole city!" ”

Xiao Er hurriedly relieved: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, stay in our inn first, as long as the assassin is caught, it will be fine." ”

As he was talking, he saw a group of officers and soldiers rushing in with a look of anger, and then began to search the house. The shopkeeper has always said good things to the person in charge, but unfortunately this person does not sell face.

The tenants are also afraid of these wolf-like officers and soldiers, and they dare not say anything when the package is overturned, and people are pushed to the ground.

After searching the downstairs, these people quickly arrived at the building. Fu Jingene didn't close the door when they first came, and they became the first target of the search.

Watching them rudely open a few packages, the eighth wanted to rush up and fight with them, but was held down by the third and fifth children.

These packages contained a change of clothes and some daily necessities, and nothing of value. The officers and soldiers of the search felt unlucky, threw all these things on the ground and went to another room with a curse.

Suddenly, a woman's scream came from the far room. Then there was a bang, and the screaming stopped abruptly.

Soon the officers and soldiers left, and as they went, they took with them a burly middle-aged man.

As soon as the men left, there was a shout of scolding from the room on the far side. The woman was crying and scolding, although Fu Jingene couldn't understand what she was scolding, but from the angry words, it could be inferred that the officers and soldiers must have taken a lot of her belongings.

While packing up his things, Lao Ba scolded angrily: "Ya, don't commit it in the hands of Lao Tzu, otherwise I will let him survive and not die." ”

If it weren't for the fear of delaying Fu Jingene's business, he wouldn't dare to act rashly, otherwise he would have chopped off the hands of these officers and soldiers and fed them to the dogs with his temper.

The third child closed the door, and then said to Fu Jingene: "Boss, these people are too arrogant, how is this kind of behavior of robbing people and property in broad daylight and bandits?" ”

Fu Jingene didn't express an opinion, but said: "Just take care of yourself." Old Five, you go down and ask the store if there is any food available, if not, we will go out to eat. ”

This will be just after meals, and there will be no food served in the inn. However, the shopkeeper introduced them to a restaurant, where the food is delicious and affordable, and the most important thing is that it is not far from here.

The restaurant was doing good business, and two-thirds of the people were seated in the lobby. After the four of them entered, they attracted a lot of people's side eyes.

After finding a corner seat and sitting down, the fifth child went to order, and the eighth accosted the person at the table next to him: "This big brother, where are you from?" ”

The man said in a sullen voice, "We are from Anqing, what about you? You must have come from out of town, right? ”

Lao Ba said with a smile: "Our hometown is from southern Fujian, but we make a living in the capital. Recently, our owner opened a pen and ink shop, so our shopkeeper came over to see if we could find a source of goods. ”

When the man heard this, he asked, "Then are you going to Huizhou?" ”

The reason why there is such a question is because there are three treasures in Huizhou, namely Li Ting Guimo, Chengxintang paper and Wuyuan Longwei inkstone. Of course, the Zhuge pen in Xuancheng, Anhui Province is also famous all over the world.

Lao Ba nodded and said: "Huizhou is definitely going to go, but it is up to our shopkeeper to decide when to go." ”

Men, as long as they talk about anything, they can talk about anything. Especially after two glasses of wine, that's even more to say anything. This man was very dissatisfied with the current situation, and said a lot of complaints to the eighth, and if it wasn't for his companion to remind him, he would have said more.

After eating, the group went back to the inn.

Lao Ba looked at Fu Jingen's calm face and knew that he was in a bad mood, and said softly: "Master, let's go out and inquire about the news again!" ”

Fu Jingene shook his head and said, "You stay in the inn and let the third and fifth go with the fifth." ”

The Flying Fish Guards are all over the country, and they are not subject to local jurisdiction and belong to a very independent yamen. And this is also the reason why he brought the third and fifth children here.

As a result, the two did not come back after dark.

The eighth asked with some concern: "Boss, will something happen to them, third brother?" ”

Fu Jingene shook his head and said, "No, the rules of the Flying Fish Wei family are very strict. If you dare to kill your fellow disciples, you will not let go even if you chase them to the ends of the earth. ”

It wasn't until the moon hung in mid-air that the two returned.

Lao Ba breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two of them: "I'm worried about death, I thought something happened to you!" ”

Fu Jingene said expressionlessly: "Say, what did you hear?" ”

The third child drank a glass of water and said, "Boss, He Meng, the general of the garrison army, is the emperor of the soil here." He has the final say on everything here, and both the political envoy and the envoy have to follow his wishes. Two months ago, the envoy had been cut down, and the new envoy was at odds with Hemon. The two of them tore their faces not long ago because of a case, and Master Guan was assassinated three days ago. ”

Fu Jingene asked in a deep voice, "Is Lord Guan's life in danger?" ”

The third shook his head and said: "I was stabbed in the lower abdomen, and if I didn't hurt the vital point, I wouldn't be in danger of my life." It is inferred that it should have been the hand of Hemon, and the purpose should have been to warn him. ”

Lao Ba gasped and said: "Even the envoy dares to do it, he really thinks that he is the emperor of the soil and no one can control him." ”

Fu Jingene's expression was gloomy after hearing this, this person was even more fierce and brutal than he expected.
