Chapter 723: Approaching Qingluan

Originally, Chang Wei was no longer caring about the man in black, but when he returned to the inn and had a supper, the man in black actually made a fuss again in the place where he lived. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Damn, if the young master doesn't catch you tonight, he won't be called the number one in the world!"

When they were about to go out, Yu Piaoling and the little goldfish were curious and wanted to keep up, Yu Piaoling's martial arts were not bad, but the little goldfish was much worse, so for the sake of safety, they simply brought Yan Ruyu and Tang Shuxue together.

But a few people in black really seemed to be trying to make trouble, and they made a movement and ran away without a shadow, as if they had seen a ghost.

Called an old catcher to ask where there was anything suspicious in Longtan Town, Wang catcher said: "If you want to say suspicious, it is the old mansion of the Hua family in the martial arts hall, that house is really evil, the surrounding neighbors all say that it is haunted, and there is an old man who asks for food and is scared to death because he met a ghost!" and said that the county magistrate took a fancy to this house, but now no one dares to go in.

Chang Wei, who never believed in the theory of ghosts and gods, immediately connected ghosts and martial arts people when he heard the words.

Besides, there is only one martial arts hall in Longtan Town, and the few Jinyi guards who chased and killed the remnants of the Dimen said that they had arrived at the martial arts hall, but there was no one to run, so I just went to take a look.

Although the gate of the Hua family is dilapidated, the copper ring of the door is so bright that there is no trace of rust, and when you enter the house, although the courtyard paved with bluestone slabs is a little dusty, it is only a very thin layer, and it is obviously cleaned not long ago.

"Footprints!" Tang Shuxue pointed to a very shallow shoe print in front of him and whispered, looking back at his footprints, everyone's faces became solemn.

"What a clever light skill!"

Entering this gloomy house, several people mentioned their skills, and naturally used light skills, although Chang Wei's body was heavy, the footprints were the shallowest of the four, and the little goldfish was the lightest, and the footprints were the most obvious. The shoe print that Tang Shuxue pointed to seemed to be slightly shallower than the only one, if it wasn't left before, then this person's light skills were actually in the middle of Chang Wei.

"Three-inch golden lotus? A woman with such light skills on the rivers and lakes can be counted with a slap. Chang Wei was secretly speculating in his heart, and in the corner of his eye, he felt that a figure seemed to flash in the inner hall, and then a face of ice and snow that seemed to be as unearthly as a fairy suddenly came into view.

"Qingluan?!"

How could she be here!

"Sister Qingluan, why are you here?" The little goldfish ran forward in surprise, took her hand and asked, this girl is a star-chaser in the rivers and lakes.

"Sister Jin, my sister is just about to ask you!"

Qingluan saw that it was a little goldfish, and a slight smile appeared on his face, but his gaze swept over Chang Wei's face intentionally or unintentionally, and there seemed to be something hidden in his gaze, which was both strange and familiar.

"It's all this big thief, who said he wanted to come and see, so Sister Yu and I had to follow. ”

If you change to a girl, you may have to make fun of the little goldfish, but Qingluan frowned lightly when she heard this, groaned slightly, and turned her eyes to Chang Wei abruptly.

"How did Dong Shao become interested in the old house of the Hua family?"

"Then how did Miss Qingluan become interested in the old mansion of the Hua family?" Chang Wei asked with a smile.

However, he didn't want to look so ungraceful, and without waiting for her to answer, he said: "Although, this is the first time I've come to this house, but the year before last, when the martial arts hall was not closed, a case was involved. ”

"At that time, I was still an official of the Nanjing Criminal Department, and the case has not been solved so far, and I am also gloomy, and it is rare to come to Longtan Town once, so I naturally want to come and see it. ”

"I see, but this case has been a long time coming. ”

"Yes, I've almost forgotten about it, but there's been a ghost here lately, don't you think it's strange?"

When she heard the word 'ghost', her eyes unconsciously rolled around for a week, but she immediately realized something, just peeking at Chang Wei, his eyes had already fallen on the neatly arranged tables and chairs in the inner hall, and the corners of her mouth showed a smile that was not noticeable, and said, "I also heard that this place is haunted, so I came to take a look." ”

All of this did not escape the corner of Chang Wei's eyes, and he immediately understood that she had come to this abandoned mansion for another reason.

Chang Wei didn't say anything, walked into the house, and said: "The ghost of this house is still a gentleman, and he has been spotless for many years. ”

"Wei Shao is saying that there are people here in the rivers and lakes?"

"It can't be said to be a ghost! Except for the ruffians who want to occupy this house, only the people in the rivers and lakes are the most suitable for the legendary ghosts!"

"These people should be the figures in the two major groups of Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and Longtan is between Zhenjiang and Nanjing, which is a very important buffer place. ”

Chang Wei said: "This is not like the style of the Jin Ge Society and the Changkong Gang, not to mention that Zhenjiang and Nanjing are only a few dozen miles away, and they can reach each other in a few hours, and the buffer of Longtan Town is not of great significance." ”

Qingluan's eyes lit up: "Could it be that Wei Shao has other suspicions?"

What a little girl, she actually played scheming with me! Chang Wei realized that she had probably thought that this place had nothing to do with the two groups, and her words were just a temptation, and she unconsciously took the bait.

"I have shallow experience in the rivers and lakes, I really can't guess the reason, Miss Qingluan has a mysterious background, and she knows a lot about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, maybe there should be a reasonable explanation!"

"I'm not a bag on the rivers and lakes!"

Qingluan made a rare joke, although the naughty smile on his face flashed.

Tang Shuxue listened a little sullenly on the side, and only then interjected at this moment, "Sister Qingluan, where are you going to go alone?"

Chang Wei couldn't help but secretly praise Tang Shuxue's cleverness, and in one sentence he and Qingluan were both freed from the riddles of playing the riddles, and as soon as his mind moved, he smiled and said: "If Miss Qingluan returns to the master's door, bring me a gift to the noble sect, I am quite curious about your origin;

Chang Wei looked at her with blazing eyes, and said sincerely: "Of course, their admiration adds up to less than one-ten-thousandth of mine!"

This bold invitation and confession made Qingluan slightly at a loss, and the sudden appearance of a touch of blush and wandering gaze on her white cheeks clearly showed her shy girlish heart, which looked so moving.

It was only a moment before she regained her composure, and said with a slight smile: "I still have some trivial matters, Wei Shao's kindness, Qingluan understands it." ”

Although Qingluan is determined, Tang Shuxue is not easy to deal with, and immediately said: "At present, nothing on the rivers and lakes is as important as the Jianghu convening order, and the headquarters of the battle against the Japanese is between Suzhou and Songjiang, Sister Qingluan will go with us, hehe~ Don't worry about squeezing the barracks with that group of soldiers, just live in the bamboo garden in Suzhou." ”

Qingluan seemed to be a little tempted, and glanced at Chang Wei inadvertently.

Last time, Qingluan unexpectedly lived in Zhenjiang Changfu, which had no impact on her reputation, and in those days, she and Yu Piaoling, Jin Yuer, and Tang Shuxue even became friends, and these same-sex friends of the same age and special identity with a pure heart should be quite precious to her, which is one of the reasons why Chang Wei dared to invite her.

"Shuxue's words are right, I know Miss Qingluan, you like to be pure, but occasionally you have to have a little joyful atmosphere, the Han family has a large population, and you are kind to Miss, just relax your mood. Zhuyuan refers to the movement of Yuexuan, even if you want to be clean for a few days, no one will disturb you. Miss don't shirk it, hurt the sincerity of my husband and wife, or Miss thinks I'm a layman?"

The little goldfish chirped: "You, although you are not a layman, but you are a big adulterer, no wonder Sister Qingluan is worried, isn't it, Sister Qingluan?"

Qingluan was amused by her: "Since Sister Shuxue and Sister Yu'er have said so, can I still not go?"

After getting Qingluan's trip to Suzhou, Chang Wei couldn't help but feel a little proud, but he didn't get carried away and told her the speculation in his heart, the matter involved Jin Gehui, although Qingluan and Chu Yanming didn't seem to be a couple, but there was still the possibility of revealing the news to him, and Chang Wei didn't want to startle the snake at the moment.

And Qingluan didn't tell Chang Wei the real reason why she paid attention to the Hua Mansion, both of them were suspicious, so they carefully searched the Hua family's old mansion again, and the inner hall was cleaned, and even the previous clues were gone. However, the ancestral tablet of the Hua family was spotlessly wiped and placed on the offering table, which strengthened Chang Wei's speculation.

After discussing with Qingluan, both of them were unwilling to easily give up the investigation of the haunting incident of the flower house because of their own reasons, so they quickly reached an agreement and returned to Suzhou after a day of detailed investigation in Longtan Town.

Late at night, the town of Longtan fell into silence, Chang Wei walked around the flower house a few times, there was no half a figure in the courtyard, but a few jackdaws were startled, which frightened Tang Shuxue, and hurriedly hid in his arms;

"Wait, if there are no ghosts even in midnight, we won't have to look any further. ”

Chang Wei and Tang Shuxue hid behind the offering table, while Qingluan turned over and got on the beam, Yan Ruyu and Yu Piaoling hid in the inner room with the little goldfish, and waited for a long time without moving.

Tang Shuxue had been squatting in the small space for a long time, and her legs seemed to be numb, so she stood up and moved her waist and legs, and then lay comfortably on Chang Wei's back, and her eyes should have fallen on the offering table: "Even if the dead don't have offerings, you should always prepare something for the ghost, right?"

At this moment, she finally found a reason to be angry for a long time, so Chang Wei quickly had a few more bruises on his arm.

"I'm ready, I'll sacrifice you to the ghost!" he joked while holding her hand.

"Are you willing?" she whispered in Chang Wei's ear.

"Why can't I bear it! Because I'm that ghost, the merry ghost!"

was laughing with Tang Shuxue without a word, but he heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground in the courtyard, and after waiting for more than an hour, he finally waited for the guests.

Chang Wei looked up at Fang Liang, and when he met Qingluan's bright eyes, he made a gesture to signal her to be careful, she bowed her head and quickly withdrew her gaze.

Listening to the footsteps, there were as many as three people in the courtyard, Chang Wei couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, could it be that it wasn't Zong Liang, but someone else, or someone from the Eagle Claw Gang who came with him?

"Damn, if you keep doing this, what's the difference between you and me and those thieves who steal chickens and dogs?!" one of the people outside grumbled.

Listening to the hoarse voice, Chang Wei's heart was suddenly shocked: "What a familiar voice!"

Hu Yifei's face suddenly flashed in his mind, yes, sure enough, the Eagle Claw Gang! Not only were their faces slashed to the appearance of ghosts, but even their vocal cords were destroyed, and their speech was exactly this kind of hoarse tone.

What are the Eagleclaw Gang doing here? Chang Wei was suspicious, and raised his eyes to look at Qingluan, her face was also confused.

"Sixth, you are not too young, why don't you have any patience, no matter how you say that you Hu Yifei is also famous in martial arts now!"

Sure enough, it was the Eagle Claw Gang, Chang Wei and Qingluan couldn't help but glance at each other.

"Hehe, second brother, it's not that I'm impatient, I just don't understand why the eldest brother has to let us stay in Longtan Town, a broken place where rabbits don't, if you want a brothel without a brothel, if you want a casino without a casino, you will fade out of a bird!"

"Don't worry, the eldest brother has already said that the flower party in Suzhou on February 15th, our brothers have to have a big fun, I heard that even Su Chengcheng has to participate!"

The three of them suddenly laughed strangely, and the hoarse laughter was as piercing as if a stone cutting through glass, which made people get goosebumps, and Tang Shuxue even covered his ears.

But at this moment, the laughter stopped abruptly, and the whole house suddenly became unusually quiet, so quiet that there was a strange atmosphere. Chang Wei was feeling a bad feeling in his heart, and when he heard a 'bang', the door was kicked open, and then he heard a person shouting at the top of his voice: "Who is the demon here pretending to be a ghost, and quickly appear, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword of the Eagle Claw Gang!"

"Huh?" is like eating a fly, Chang Wei didn't mention how awkward he was, catching ghosts was treated as ghosts, but he was really embarrassed to get home, and after a little thought, he knew that it was the footprints on the ground that leaked the bottom, and secretly scolded himself for being too careless.

"Huh, why is there no one?"

The first two people to break into the door didn't notice that there was anyone hiding in the house, but then they heard one of them sniff twice, and suddenly said, "Aroma......? Qingluan Fairy and Chu Shaomeng Lord?"

How could the Eagleclaw Gang have such an alert character? Chang Wei was shocked again, although this person didn't guess it all, it wasn't far off. Knowing that he would not be able to hide for long, he stood up from behind the offering table with some frustration.

In the dim light of the fire fold, a long knife stabbed straight at him with the sound of the wind, and the scarred face of the sword-wielder and the figure of the bee-waisted bear made Chang Wei recognize him as Hu Yifei.

"Bell!"

Hu Yifei was shocked by Chang Wei's sword, and a tall man behind him reached out to catch it, and dissolved Hu Yifei's backward rush with a light weight, but when they saw each other's appearances, they all shouted in surprise.

"Wei Shao?!"

"Zong Liang?!"

The man touched his chin and smiled awkwardly: "I didn't expect to meet Wei Shao here." ”

"In the middle of the night, pretending to be a ghost, it is really suspicious, Zong Liang, and eat my sword. ”

The offering table of the yellow pear flower suddenly became torn apart under the sharp blade of the Divine Sword, and in the stirring fragments of wood, the sword entangled Zong Liang like a rain curtain.

"Wei Shao...... Aren't you here too?"

Zong Liang waved his iron sword to resist the attack, and while he gasped for breath and smiled puns. Although he retreated step by step, Chang Wei sensed that his internal strength was not even under the wind and clouds, and now he was retreating so fast, it should be because the weapon was not in his hand!

"No more fighting!"

Chang Wei stopped and put away his sword and sneered: "Zong Liang, your martial arts are so strong, it's really surprising, how can the small pond of the Eagle Claw Gang accommodate you, a dragon?"

In a blink of an eye, the other two were Hu Yifei and Chen Hong.

"No way, only the Dragon Gang Master is willing to take us in!" he blinked his eyes and smiled innocently.

Chang Wei knew that if he asked them why they came to the Flower Mansion, they would definitely have countless reasons to explain, so he suddenly said, "Zong Liang, I want to check your guide." ”

Zong Liang muttered: "My eldest young master, you are the dignified Duke of Qin and the commander of Jiangnan, and you actually came to check the road like a headcatcher. ”

That being said, he happily led the way.

The road guide was issued by the Qingzhou Prefecture of Shandong, proving that Zong Liang was a native of Shaping Town, Mengyin County, Qingzhou Prefecture, aged 37 years old, and his physical characteristics were also consistent with Zong Liang.

Chang Wei knows that this is definitely a real guide, but it is not difficult to get such a guide, just do a long-term job like Li Qishan, and after personnel changes, it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources to prove that Zong Liang is a fictitious figure, and whether the current authorities are willing to investigate the mistakes of their predecessors is still a question.

"I'm happy!" Throwing Lu Yin back to him, Chang Wei laughed shamefully, "Didn't you get caught by Liang Kecheng last time? ”

Zong Liang laughed twice, "What's the matter, I left beforehand, and no one arrested me." ”

With Qingluan present, Zong Liang was full of nonsense, and he couldn't ask anything, so he blasted Zong Liang and the three out of the flower house under the pretext of investigating the case.

When the person left, Qingluan asked, "Wei Shao has dealt with Zong Liang before?"

"Yes, although he is masked, it should be him, but at that time he used sword skills, not sword skills. He turned his head and asked Tang Shuxue: "Shuxue, do you see that the scar on Zong Liang's face is real or fake?"

"The light was too dark for me to see clearly, but it was true. ”

Tang Shuxue deliberately concealed her keen six senses in front of Qingluan, so that the scar was almost real.

Qingluan's pair of bright eyes stared at Chang Wei, and muttered, "So, the Qinglong Society is walking the rivers and lakes in the name of the Eagle Claw Gang?"

"It doesn't matter if it's not, the Qinglong Society will never be able to lurk and be a killer in secret, just a few pieces of material, how much impact can it have on the situation in the rivers and lakes? To be honest, it turned out that hiding in the shadows couldn't catch them, but now they pop up, it's easy to deal with them, there are at least five or six sects on the rivers and lakes that can eat them in one bite, and at the moment Zong Liang's gang is still in the stage of finding a living space in the rivers and lakes, and it may be ten or twenty years before they want to become a climate. ”

"Naturally, these five or six sects also include the Seven Seas Alliance, right?"

"Originally, I was only ninety percent sure, if Qingluan married me, I would have twelve percent!" Chang Wei teased casually.

"Wei Shao...... It's a joke. ”

The inner hall, which had lost the light of the fire fold, was extremely dim, and she could not see the change in Qingluan's face, and her voice seemed very calm, neither the joy of being pursued, nor the disgust of being ridiculed, but the topic was quickly changed by her.

"Take precautions and eliminate evil, if you allow a killer gang like the Blue Dragon Society to develop, I don't know how many disasters it will bring to the rivers and lakes. ”

"Daming is a society governed by the rule of law, even if it is the Blue Dragon Society, they have the right to live, as long as their butts are clean......"

Under the guise of justice, the butcher knife in his hand is stained with blood, which has always been the thing Chang Wei hates the most, and no one can replace the law and the government.

Qingluan didn't refute again, in fact, Tang Shuxue's actions quickly attracted her.

"Xianggong, you go out first!" Tang Shuxue pushed Chang Wei out of the inner hall, and when the second daughter came out after a while, Qingluan almost changed her appearance.

Qingluan's otherworldly temperament is not something that can be covered up by just a veil, but even her body shape has changed, Chang Wei has to admire Tang Shuxue's superb disguise technique and affinity with a very lethal effect, looking at the occasional shyness in Qingluan's eyes and the suddenly towering double-peaked buttocks, Chang Wei can easily imagine what Tang Shuxue has done to her.

"In this way, Zong Liang and the others won't recognize your sister. Tang Shuxue said innocently, but when Qingluan got in the car, she secretly grimaced at Chang Wei.

"The young master is back!"

The carriage drove straight into the bamboo garden, and several little maids screamed when they saw Chang Wei, who looked like a coachman.

"Sister-in-law Lu, you help Qingluan take the luggage to Zhiyue Xuan, Mingzhu, you will go to Zhiyue Xuan to serve in the next few days. ”

After settling everything, Chang Wei took Yan Ruyu to find Fang Huan'er and told about the affairs of Longtan Town, Fang Huan'er didn't pay attention to the reactions of the major sects, but she was very concerned about the identities of Zong Liang and others, but her analysis was roughly similar to Chang Wei and Yan Ruyu, and there was still no relatively reasonable explanation for this headless case.

"The snipe and the clam are fighting, and the fisherman is profitable, master, it seems that besides you, there are people who want to be a fisherman!" Fang Huan'er waved her hand, as if she wanted to wave away these annoying things, "I heard that Qingluan lived in the bamboo garden?" she asked with an ambiguous smile.
