Chapter 210: The one who tied the bell must untie it

This is a two-story building, with a combination of blue bricks and wood, and the walls are worn out after years of weathering.

The shop owner is a thin middle-aged man with sharp eyes, examining the three cloaked guests standing at the door of his shop.

"Dear guests, would you like a few pounds of dog meat?" the shop owner asked tentatively.

Song Tingfeng replied in a hoarse voice: "How much is the dog meat outside, and how much is the dog meat inside?"

When the shop owner heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, an old prostitute.

"The dog meat outside is one tael of silver per pound, and the dog meat inside is three taels of silver."

For such a private prostitute, the price is actually three taels of silver. To be honest, the price of abalone is not much cheaper outside the capital. As old scoundrels in the industry, Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao shook their heads again and again.

Xu Qian'an didn't think it was a big deal, because he had been at the top of the industry since he entered the industry. It cost ten taels of silver to make a tea party, and three taels of silver was just a drop in the bucket... What? I got it for free? Oh, that's fine.

The shop owner stood up and led the three people into the shop. At this time, Xu Qi'an found that one of the shop owner's legs was lame.

After entering, those indescribable sounds became clearer and clearer. The sound insulation was extremely poor and the sound was chaotic.

If Chun Ge was here, he would definitely say, listen to my slogans, 121, 121, advance, retreat, advance, retreat, advance... Xu Qi'an complained in his heart.

The shop owner said, "The girls in the shop are all busy, why don't you wait? I'll cut a pound of cooked meat for you."

As soon as it got dark, the girls in the shop were in order. The dog meat business in the black market is very good... Xu Qi'an didn't plan to wait, because he had another purpose.

Xu Qi'an kicked the door of the room open, startling the girl inside and screaming. He kicked the doors open one by one, causing a lot of angry curses.

Several men didn't even wear clothes, and ran out to show Xu Qi'an a little color.

Xu Qiyan knocked down one by one. After five or six, the men dared not to go up. He then said with a calm voice:

"No. 15 Ding is booked. Get out of here. Young Master Song will pay for tonight's consumption."

When the prostitutes heard this, their anger subsided. The idea was difficult. Since the other party was willing to pay, they just had to admit defeat. Anyway, there were dog meat shops everywhere in the black market.

At this time, the shop owner had retreated to the chopping board, where there was a knife for chopping meat. He put his hand on the handle of the knife, squinted his eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"Are you not here to buy meat, but to mess up the place?"

"Don't worry, shop owner. I will explain later." Xu Qiyan said, and then gathered the naked and half-naked women in a room and shouted:

"Hold your heads and squat!"

The women of different looks did it blankly.

"No one is allowed to leave this room without my permission." After waiting for them to nod in fear, Xu Qiyan closed the door and returned to the first floor.

The shop owner was still confronting Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao.

Xu Qian'an closed the door of the shop again, then sat at the table, took out half of the jade pendant, and said in a deep voice: "Does the shop owner recognize this thing?"

The lame shop owner's eyes fell on the jade pendant. In the candlelight, its color was warm, the fracture was neat, and it was cut in half by a sharp object.

Xu Qian'an clearly saw that the shop owner's pupils shrank.

"Who are you to Zhou Min?"

"You don't need to know, I just ask you, do you recognize this jade pendant?"

The shop owner nodded slightly, "Wait a moment."

As he said, he limped into a room on the east side. Because of his lame leg, he usually lived on the first floor.

The rooms on the second floor were for guests to do things.

Xu Qian'an gave Zhu Guangxiao a look and asked him to follow the shop owner to avoid the other party playing any tricks.

Soon, the shop owner returned with half a jade pendant and a booklet in his hand, which fit perfectly with the half that Xu Qi'an took out.

"Are you here to ask for something?" The shop owner said, handing over the booklet: "This is what Zhou Min left with me."

"Don't you want to ask anything?" Xu Qi'an didn't touch the booklet, but stared at him.

"Will you tell me?"

"No, but you gave it to me too easily."

The shop owner sighed: "When Zhou Min handed me this booklet, he told me that the jade pendant was a token of trust, and he would not give me anything without the jade pendant. Even if it was him, it would not work.

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me your identity. I only recognize the jade pendant, not the person. "

Only recognize the jade pendant and not the person... because the Zhou Min who came to get the evidence may not be Zhou Min... The old spy was meticulous, it's a pity that he died... Xu Qian'an then picked up the book and looked at it for a moment. This is an account book, recording the military supplies that disappeared "unreasonably" in the Commandery, and every entry is recorded very clearly.

With this "evidence", Governor Zhang can arrest and interrogate the second-rank commander, although he cannot be directly convicted.

Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes. With the evidence in hand, the trip to Yunzhou can almost come to an end.

"What is your relationship with Zhou Min? He is assured to give you the account book." Xu Qian'an put away the account book, took a sip of tea, and asked in a chatty tone.

"I was originally a wandering knight in the rivers and lakes. Because I was nosy, I offended a yamen and was beaten by the other party. This leg was broken at that time. They were going to take me out of the city and bury me alive, but it was Lord Zhou who saved me, so I owe him my life. "The shop owner smiled sadly:

"With a lame leg, it would be a joke to travel around the world, so I settled down in Baidi City... When he handed the things to me that day, I had a premonition that something was going to happen to him. But there is a limit to what I can do. I can't repay the favor of saving my life, but I can always keep the things safe."

"Thank you!" Xu Qi'an nodded, and added in his heart: Leave the revenge to us.

The shop owner cut a few pounds of dog meat for them, and didn't ask for money, but Xu Qi'an insisted on leaving him five taels of silver, not for the dog meat, but for Mr. Song's bill.

Song Tingfeng looked back frequently and said regretfully: "Anyway, I can't go back now, why don't you stay in the shop, I've already paid for it..."

"Yes, there are beauties serving in the shop." Xu Qi'an pouted: "Then you go back, they are still moisturized. "

"..." Song Tingfeng felt that Xu Ningyan was a very vulgar person. He should say: They are waiting for you to pick them.

.....

Late at night, in a mansion.

Li Miaozhen sat cross-legged on the bed in meditation, her black and beautiful hair was loose, setting off her wheat-colored face, and her beauty was full of vigor.

She had been in Yunzhou for more than a year, either training private troops or going into the mountains to suppress bandits, which tanned her originally fair face into wheat color.

However, the disciples of Tianzong did not care about the appearance. Their philosophy was: I don't have feelings!

If you can have no feelings, you don't need to care about the appearance.

After finishing meditation, she concentrated on sensing for a long time and found that there was no breath of Mei in the house.

Mei hasn't come back yet?

Three copper gongs are a piece of cake for Mei, not to mention that Xu Qian'an is a playboy who has been hollowed out by wine and sex, so there will be no problem.

Logically speaking, if they were bewitched in the daytime, they could directly get information, so why hasn't she come back yet?

Could it be that Mei disobeyed her orders and coveted her body?

Li Miaozhen immediately ruled out this guess. Mei had been with her for several years, and her biggest advantage was obedience. She was a good family when she was alive, and she had almost no resentment after her death. She was kind and knew that Xu Qi'an could not stand being exploited, so he should not absorb his essence.

Maybe it was just a moment of playfulness... Li Miaozhen lifted the quilt, shrank into it, and fell asleep.

The next day, Li Miaozhen finished washing and had breakfast. When the sun rose high, she still didn't see Mei come back to report. She finally realized that something was wrong.

She immediately drew a simple Tai Chi Bagua formation in the yard, took out grave soil, corpse oil, cat's eyes and other Yin objects, and placed them in specific locations.

Then she took out a wrinkled paper man, placed it on the Tai Chi fish, and activated the formation with Qi.

In the invisible vision of ordinary people, the wrinkled paper man frantically grabbed the Yin Qi contained in the Yin object, and after a while, his hands and feet moved.

Then, the paper man staggered to his feet, and after a few seconds of silence, it lay down again and turned into an ordinary paper man.

Li Miaozhen's face suddenly became solemn. This paper man was an object that the charm had once attached to. It retained her breath and should have guided her to find the charm.

There are probably three possibilities for such a situation: First, the charm had an accident and her soul flew away. Second, the charm was sealed. Third, the charm left Baidi City and was beyond the range of the paper man's sensing.

No matter which of the three possibilities, it means that the charm is in trouble.

"The one who tied the bell must untie it!" Li Miaozhen said sincerely.

.....

Post station!

"Have you finished reading it? Is this account book real? "

In the room, Song Tingfeng, with a loquat candy in his mouth, asked Xu Qiyan, who was checking the accounts at the desk.

Zhu Guangxiao was sitting cross-legged, breathing and practicing Qi.

"Do you know what reconciliation means? Interrogating prisoners requires face-to-face confrontation." Xu Qiyan said unhappily.

"Then why are you still watching with relish?" Song Tingfeng yawned. He didn't rest well in the inn last night. In fact, it was the sequelae of the illusion he was hit by yesterday.

Song Tingfeng is now waiting for Governor Zhang to come back. After handing over the task, he will go to the government office to entrust the government office to find his beloved Miss Susu.

"At least I can go through it roughly and have a clear idea in my mind." Xu Qiyan replied.

"I'm going to the toilet." Song Tingfeng didn't argue with him.

After Mimiyan left the room, Xu Qiyan turned his head and looked at Zhu Guangxiao who was breathing: "Do you want to find Miss Susu? "

Zhu Guangxiao opened his eyes, glanced at him, and said nothing.

"Haven't you thought about it?" Xu Qian'an smiled.

"Yeah."

Xu Qian'an irresponsibly bombarded: "Is there any need to think about this? You and Miss Su Su are husband and wife, and that stinky little sister at home, you haven't even touched her hand, right? And you shamelessly want you to pay 100 taels of silver. You are crazy about money, the old man treats his daughter as a jewel... Forget it, I won't slander her.

"Have you seen my aunt? My aunt is beautiful, one of the most beautiful women. My second uncle married her, and the betrothal gift was only 20 taels. Your fiancée, why?"

100 taels of silver, in an ordinary family, would take five years to save without eating or drinking, and normally ten years to save.

On one side is a brother, and on the other side is a fiancée, Zhu Guangxiao chose to remain silent. But in his mind, he couldn't help but think of Miss Su Su's panting and her charming posture.

Just as Lao Zhu was about to say something, Song Tingfeng's voice came from downstairs: "Ning Yan, there are guests..."
