Song Baoyi has been standing not far from the palace, dressed in the clothes of a small trader, carefully observing the movement of the streets and alleys; the house that Song Baoyi rented was at the mouth of the alley of Xiangjia Lane behind Fan Lou, and it was rented for two years at that time, and it looked no different from an ordinary house on the outside.

The prodigal son Yan Qing walked over leisurely, and he was also dressed as a vendor, Yan Qing is now well-known in Bianliang, and he has the bearing of a famous family in his gestures. Song Baoyi didn't think so, and felt that the more ordinary the person he cooperated with, the better, Yan Qing approached Song Baoyi's side and said, "Master Song, I'm afraid you have been locked up, and you will leave Bianliang tonight." ”

Seeing Xin Pu patrolling from a distance, Song Baoyi made a gesture of invitation and said, "Go in." ”

The two entered the courtyard, Song Baoyi closed the courtyard door casually, Yan Qing entered the house, but saw a Taoist priest sitting in the back room drinking, dry and thin, with a pair of strange eyes glowing with blue light, it was Qiu Rixin. Song Baoyi sat down next to Qiu Rixin and said, "I was found out." ”

Qiu Rixin smiled, if the matter is so simple, why should the above send him to run away, and he cheated to death in Jiangnan, but there may not be no people in the official army who know him, but none of these unique characters in the rivers and lakes are simple; Qiu Rixin looked at Yan Qing and said: "Gongming said, I have wronged you this time, and when the matter is over, I will give you an answer." ”

Yan Qing knew very well that Song Baoyi's accident meant that this matter was over, sat down and poured himself a bowl of wine and said: "Daoist Qiu escaped from the Fang La army, and I was also left in Bianliang by Song Sanlang because both the north and the south failed, and the best thing we can do now is to take it as a dream and live a peaceful life from now on, after all, we have gained a lot from these two rebellions, and I plan to escort Song Daxia out of the city at night." ”

The two of them are going to run away, Qiu Rixin rolled his eyes and said, "Song Daxia, then please give me the contact person in the palace, and I will do the rest of the work." ”

Song Baoyi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "It's a palace maid beside Empress Zheng, I'll talk to you later." ”

Yan Qing went outside with the wine bowl, and sighed in her heart, Song Baoyi, you are looking for death by yourself, no matter whether what Qiu Rixin said is true or not, even if it is true, you will definitely be able to get out, this thief Taoist priest will not dig a pit for you? Yan Qing was halfway through drinking, he heard the sound of tables and chairs collapsing in the room, and rushed in, only to see that Song Baoyi was already limp on the ground, Yan Qing reached out and probed, Song Baoyi was already out of breath.

Yan Qing stood up and asked coldly, "You killed him?"

Qiu Rixin replied vaguely: "Didn't you already guess it when you went out? I'm for your good, the Imperial City Division and the people in the market are probably looking at every alley now, if you go out of the city with a wounded, it will definitely be a big trouble." I've already asked, the person Song Baoyi contacted was the palace maid Bai Xia next to Empress Zheng, and the picture of the eight horses of the snow-capped mountain was hidden in Empress Zheng's secret pavilion, but unfortunately Bai Xia's status was low, and she didn't know where the secret pavilion was, so she could only provide clues to find it, Song Baoyi didn't find it after looking for it three times, and I was ready to try it. ”

Yan Qing walked up to Qiu Rixin, looked Qiu Rixin up and down, shook his head and said: "Then you can't go, with your martial arts, you are even worse than Song Baoyi, if you don't get hit by the black sand palm, you can't kill Song Baoyi at all; ”

"I can't do it alone. Qiu Rixin replied quickly: "You go yours, the Taihang Eight Heroes have been sent to help." ”

When Qiu Rixin said this, he found that Yan Qing's expression was very strange, and suddenly realized that Yan Qing was going to be unfavorable to him, but he was already a step too late; Qiu Rixin opened his mouth wide and couldn't make a sound, watching Yan Qing work harder by little, cut off his meridians, and strangled himself to death.

The last words Qiu Rixin heard before he died were: "You are dead, I don't know who the contact person in the palace is, there is no need to hide in Tibet." ”

At night, there was a sudden fire in Xiangjia Lane, not far from the palace, the military patrol station and the Wanghuo tower found the fire alarm at about the same time, and the brigade of hidden firefighters came from all directions, and the nearby neighborhoods had already begun to put out the fire; when the fire was extinguished, two charred corpses were found in the house, but the officials of Kaifeng Mansion and the soldiers of the military patrol station were dumbfounded, there were iron doors and iron windows in the house, and the neighbors said that the person renting the house was just a small trader, and the small trader could spend money to install this thing?

Sheng Yuyi and Meng Zhongweng arrived one after another, Meng Zhongweng was more than seven feet tall, his face was ruddy, and he spoke with a lot of energy, not at all like a person over 50 years old; Meng Zhongweng and the others soon found Song Baoyi's weapons and waist cards in the house, and there was no need to ask at all, Sheng Yuyi dared to be sure that it was Song Baoyi's thing. Sheng Yuyi asked the neighbors and said that there was a small vendor who came to look for Song Baoyi in broad daylight, and he never saw anyone go out.

According to the examination, both of them had external injuries, and they should have been killed first, and then someone set the fire, but now the house is burned to the ground, and there is no clue to the roof; Meng Zhongweng said in a deep voice: "Lord Sheng, let's first determine whether Song Baoyi is among the dead people, the person who killed and set the fire is so clever, we can only visit slowly." ”

The people of the Shengjie Army arrived soon, and according to the appearance, it was basically confirmed that the dead was Song Baoyi, Tie Bangyi and Du Wanche came together, confirming that Song Baoyi's corpse had signs of being hit by the black sand palm; Sheng Yuyi asked curiously: "Lord Tie, the corpse is scorched, how can you distinguish the signs of the middle palm?"

Tie Bangyi smiled bitterly: "When I was a head catcher in Liao, I once killed a group of thieves, and it was also a fire that burned the courtyard, but then this case was handed over to me, I went to see the scene, and found that the concave palm print on the charred corpse that was hit by the black sand palm still exists." Master Shan, you see behind Song Baoyi, although he is recuperating from his injuries, his five fingers have been blurred, but the recess of the entire palm print is still there. ”

Du Wanche shook his head and said, "Lord Tie, we still have to be careful when we get along with you in the future." ”

Sheng Yuyi understood that Du Wanche's interruption was to tell himself not to ask who was killed by Tie Bangyi; it seemed that Du Wanche knew about the case, and the one who died was not necessarily a big thief. Meng Zhongweng sighed and said, "Finally a deceased person has been determined, Master Shan, you guys have to worry a lot later." ”

Sheng Yu agreed, thinking in his heart, it would be good if Yang Zhi was there, that person always had some strange ideas.
