Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei searched for a long time, but they didn't find anything. The two looked at the river on the side of the road, and saw that the water was gentle and clear, but the killers who jumped into the water disappeared without a trace like fish.

The two of them walked forward again, knowing that the strong enemy was watching on the side, so they were extremely cautious.

It was only after walking more than ten miles, but no enemy appeared. At this time, the two of them have walked into a town, although there are only more than 100 households, but it is also quite lively. It was almost noon, and both of them were a little hungry, so they went into a small tavern on the side of the road, and each asked for a bowl of hot noodle soup.

This tavern is pitifully small, and it only sells hot noodle soup and steamed buns. It's just that just at the end of the meal, the store was full, and there were more than 20 people. Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei were crowded in front of a table with four other diners, and their arms would touch each other when they raised their hands, which was quite embarrassing. A few people at the same table were munching on noodles, making a snoring sound mixed with the smell of garlic. Li Qiufeng has lived in the palace for a long time, and Yan Dufei is also the master who is used to eating big fish and meat, and when he saw this scene, he frowned.

The shopkeeper brought the noodles up, Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufeng were so hungry that they couldn't care about the people around them, so they immediately served the bowl and ate it. Unexpectedly, although this restaurant is shabby, the noodles are cooked deliciously, and the two of them are greatly admired.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone outside the store shouting: "Kill, kill!"

There was a sudden chaos in the store, many people raised their feet and ran out, and the store owner was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and shouted: "Uncles, settle the account first!"

Those people ran faster.

Yan Dufei and Li Qiufeng ate the noodles cleanly, and then Li Qiufeng took out a piece of loose silver, handed it to the shopkeeper and said, "Don't look for it." ”

The shopkeeper was crying with a sad face, but he didn't expect Li Qiufeng to be so generous, and he was overjoyed, and he had to thank him. A bowl of hot noodle soup is only eight copper coins, and this piece of loose silver can be exchanged for 100 copper coins. I thought that I ran some diners, and I lost the bottom today, so not only did I not lose, but I made some money, so how could the store not be ecstatic?

Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei flew out of the tavern, and Yan Dufei smiled and said: "Brother Li is righteous and squandering money, admire and admire." ”

Li Qiufeng smiled slightly and said, "Brother Yan said he laughed. If your brother had money, he wouldn't have gone with you. ”

Yan Dufei said: "How do you say this?"

Li Qiufeng said: "The world thinks that Jinyiwei spends money like flowing water, and everyone has thousands of dollars in their waists, who knows the hard work in this? Get it in the market to exchange it for silver taels, deduct the loss and errand fees, and exchange it back at most more than nine taels. Not to mention supporting a family, even renting a house in the capital is far from enough. Those brothers, who only have three taels of silver a month, live a more miserable life. There are indeed some people in Jinyi Wei who go out to handle cases and make a fortune. It's just that most of the brothers also eat royal food honestly and rely on this money to survive. ”

Yan Dufei said: "I've never heard of this, it is rumored that Jinyiwei is very rich, and when he goes out, he is a high-headed horse, and he is brought by Jinyi and jade, and when he arrives at the Yamen of the prefecture and county, the magistrate is too late, so how can he have no money to spend?"

Li Qiufeng smiled bitterly: "There are rumors in the market, and I can't count them. It's like a flying fish suit, which is sewn in the palace, and if it is accidentally broken, you have to pay for it to be repaired by yourself. I just hope that I can make a fortune with Brother Yan this time, and my brother took the silver and hid far away in Jiangnan, no longer caring about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. ”

Between the two talking, they had followed the flow of people to the street. But seeing that a hundred and ten people had gathered in front of him, there were exclamations from time to time, mixed with shouts and the sound of blades clashing.

The two knew that someone was making a move, and hurriedly squeezed into the crowd. It's just that this street is small, and there are many onlookers, and when the two of them squeeze to the front, they are all sweating profusely.

But I saw a group of catchers holding steel knives and iron rulers, surrounding the two of them.

When Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei saw the two people who were surrounded, they couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts, and secretly thought to themselves: "How could it be her?!"

But I saw a man in Tsing Yi wearing a deep hat and holding a long sword, it was the girl of the Murong family who had fought fiercely with Yu Changchang.

Behind her was a woman. The woman was young in her thirties, dressed in coarse cloth, with her hair disheveled and her face yellow, and she was hiding behind the girl in terror, trembling all over.

One of the catchers laughed in a dark voice: "Why do you want to protect this prisoner? Give her to us, and the reward will be indispensable to you." ”

Another catcher waved the iron ruler in his hand and said, "You kid is protecting her, could it be that you can't have a leg with her?" haha, haha." ”

The crowd burst into laughter, and some people continued to use foul language to tease the two. But seeing that there were a few catchers lying outside the crowd, they thought that they were knocked to the ground by the girl of the Murong family.

Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei had seen this girl make a move, and secretly wondered how could these catchers trap her here? Just as they were hesitating, they saw that the girl pulled the woman behind her, and she was about to grab out of the encirclement. Two catchers stopped in front of her brandishing steel knives, while others slashed at the woman behind her with their blades. The woman's steps were heavy, and she obviously didn't know martial arts. The girl was about to swing her sword against the two catchers in front of her, but when she saw the other catchers attacking the woman behind her, she had to withdraw her long sword and force back the catchers. It's just that in this way, she was forced to stop again, unable to break out of the encirclement.

Li Qiufeng said in a low voice: "This girl is to protect that woman, otherwise she would have killed all these catchers a long time ago." It's a pity that this girl has too little knowledge in the rivers and lakes, and those fast catches are just to arrest people, how dare she kill people on the street? She can first knock these fast catchers down, and then save the woman from escaping. ”

Yan Dufei said: "Look at this girl, she is only seventeen or eighteen years old, how can she know about these bloody licking on the knife? If Murong Qiushui knew about this, she wouldn't be so angry that she vomited blood?!"

At this time, Li Qiufeng suddenly found that there were four catchers who secretly climbed the surrounding walls, opened their bows and arrows, and aimed at the girls in the circle.

With a loud sound, the two catchers had already shot arrows, splitting the girl's throat and the woman's temple behind her. The girl brandished her sword and tried to block the arrow. There were two more "whoosh" sounds, and the two trappers hiding on the wall behind her shot arrows at her and the woman's hearts.

In this way, it was not difficult for the girl to block the two feathered arrows that were shot in front of and behind her, but the two arrows that were shot at the woman could not be avoided. If she had kept the woman at bay, she would have been wounded by the arrows.

At this moment, only the sound of the secret weapon breaking through the sky was heard, and the four long arrows had been knocked away with copper coins and stuck obliquely on the ground.

All the catchers were shocked and looked around in panic. The head of the fast catcher shouted loudly: "The master is here to handle the case, which thing that doesn't know whether to live or die dares to spoil the good deeds of the uncle?!"

The girl took this opportunity to raise her left hand, and fired four silver needles in a row, only to hear a few screams, and the four catchers hiding on the wall each covered their right eyes and fell, but they were blinded by the girl's eyes with silver needles.

The crowd shouted and pounced again, the girl swung her sword to block, but she wanted to protect the woman behind her, she couldn't be free to advance and retreat, she was restrained everywhere, and she was almost cut by the fast blade several times.

Li Qiufeng shot the feather arrow, Yan Dufei smiled and said: "We have a fate with this girl, we might as well do good things to the end and help her send these catches." If there is a chance in the future, when I see Murong Qiushui, I will have something to say. ”

Li Qiufeng nodded, he didn't pull out the long knife, strode forward, his hands probed, he had already grabbed the back of the neck of the two catchers, and the inner force in his palms had flown out, and they fell heavily to the ground, and they couldn't get up. But seeing Li Qiufeng entering the crowd and pointing to the east and west, in just a moment, these catchers were beaten to the ground and lay on the ground.

The fast catcher was kicked out more than two feet away by Li Qiufeng, stood up with the pain, pointed at Li Qiufeng and said, "You dare to beat the official, don't you want to die?"

Li Qiufeng didn't even look at him, reached out and took out a bronze medal from his arms, held it in his hand and said: "Jinyiwei handles the case, and the idlers avoid it as soon as possible!"

As soon as the onlookers heard the word "Jinyiwei", they immediately scattered and fled like a camp, and in the blink of an eye, only Li Qiufeng, Yan Dufei and the two women were left in the center of the street, as well as a group of catchers rolling and moaning on the ground.

When the fast head saw the bronze medal in Li Qiufeng's hand, his legs weakened, and he sat on the ground. Li Qiufeng shouted: "Which yamen are you from?"

"The good teacher learned that the little ones and the little ones are the fast catchers of the Yamen of Changping County......"

The catcher struggled to his feet and replied with a look of trepidation.

"Changping County, you are the county's yacha, why did you come here?"

The head of the catcher bowed down and said: "It's the local secret report of Yong'an City, and the Qin prisoner was found in this area, and the county magistrate sent a document to ask the villain to bring his brothers to arrest the Qin criminal." I didn't expect to meet an adult handling a case, and the little one was blind with these dog's eyes, and he actually started to ...... with adults."

Li Qiufeng frowned and said, "I'll handle this case, you go back." ”

The head of the fast catcher saw that the fifty taels of silver reward that he was going to get flew away, although he was quite unwilling, but he knew that Jinyiwei could not be provoked by himself, so he had to help each other and go.

Li Qiufeng saw that he had already gone away, and turned his head to talk to the girl. But the cold light flashed in front of him, and the girl's long sword had stabbed himself in the throat.
