Chapter 132 Investigation
In the evening, Zhang Xiaohua finally ate the rabbit meat that she had longed for, but it was not braised in soy sauce. Although Zhang Xiaohua was born in a poor family and helped the family with the work since she was a child, she is still a boy after all, and all the work she does is done in the fields. There is spring water on the stove.
Therefore, although I thought it was braised in soy sauce, I simply peeled the skin of the rabbit in the end, and imitated my father's way of handling the chicken, simply cleaned the hare, put it in the pot and boiled it, and waited for the water to boil and the meat was cooked. Although no seasoning was added, it smelled very fragrant, and Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but move her index finger.
Then, Zhang Xiaohua closed her eyes and murmured silently in her heart: "I ate braised rabbit meat, I ate braised rabbit meat." Then, not afraid of the heat, she took out a whole rabbit from the pot and let go of her cheeks. Chewing, the mouth is full of oil, what a joy!
It wasn't until Zhang Xiaohua ate up the whole rabbit's meat, and reluctantly licked and licked the bare frame again, that she casually put the skeleton in the river in front of her, but in this winter, the river that used to flow had already frozen , only heard a "click", but the skeleton was thrown on the ice. It was impossible to eliminate the evidence of eating meat, but he was fish and I was a knife, so why should I be afraid? The way of heaven dictates that the law of the jungle still applies to the world.
Not to mention Zhang Xiaohua, who is addicted to appetite, while stroking her chubby belly, she took a small stick and threw it leisurely. Looking at the continuous heavy snow in the night sky outside, she thought to herself, "Suddenly look back at it." The essence of "in a dimly lit place", just talking about the Misty faction's meeting hall far in the north, Ou Peng is calling a few brothers from the master's school, trying to find the "skeleton" thrown out by others.
It didn't snow in Misty Villa, but it was covered with dense clouds and the cold wind was whimpering. Although the door of the meeting hall was blocked by a thick curtain, it was still hard to hide the intrusion of the cold current. However, at this time, the atmosphere in the meeting hall was abnormal. The coldness makes people feel that it is a bit more frozen to the bone marrow than outside.
Right in front of the meeting hall, Ou Pengou, the leader of the big gang, was sitting in the same position with a gloomy face. The flickering lights made shadows pass over his face from time to time, adding a bit of ferocity. The majesty of the superior.
At this time, everyone in the conference hall was silent, and no one dared to make a sound. After a while, Ou Peng coughed and asked gently: "Brother, how is Yan'er's health?"
Boss Hu, who usually looks very inconspicuous, now has a stern face, saying: "Yan'er is already weak. When I went out at night, I was exposed to heavy rain and had already contracted the wind and cold. In addition, I was affected by the palm of the old man in black. , hurt the internal organs, this is a combination of illnesses and injuries, quite serious. I heard from Hall Master Qin that he fell into a coma on the way, and after waking up, he was treated by a doctor along the way. After the second brother rushed over, he also used internal energy to heal Yan'er Injury, after taking the wound medicine in the faction, it has recovered a lot when I came back. Now the doctor in the faction has seen it, and I have also invited the doctor in Pingyang City to have a diagnosis and treatment. Now I am not in serious condition. I am waiting for a period of time to recuperate. It should heal."
Hearing that Ouyan is in good health, Ou Peng's expression turned slightly calm, and he said to Boss Hu: "Brother, I'm busy here these days, please take care of Yan'er's affairs."
Boss Hu nodded and said, "Yan'er is our darling, so you can rest assured, I won't let her suffer any more grievances when she gets to our territory."
Ou Peng nodded, and asked Liu Yuzhou, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, "How is the origin of the man in black?"
Liu Yuzhou hesitated for a moment, and said: "After receiving the instructions from the guild leader, the subordinates immediately led the subordinates to investigate the matter. The subordinates know that the eldest lady and her party are returning safely, and they are afraid that the time will be too long, even though the weather has turned cold. "The corpses of the men in black will also rot, so I went to pick up the young miss in advance. The subordinates have personally inspected the corpses of the men in black, and the features on their faces and bodies are all their own." Seen,
Let the subordinates register the picture album and prepare the record, but among these people, the face of the old man in black has been disfigured, and no one can tell who he is, while the others are mediocre people. Be careful, there are so many people, it is not easy to find the origins of these people. "
Ou Peng said angrily: "Look for it, you must look for it. Difficulty doesn't mean it's impossible. As long as there is a slight possibility, we must find out their behind-the-scenes instigators."
Liu Yuzhou hurriedly bowed and replied, "Follow the leader's instructions."
Ou Peng calmed down, and then asked: "Are there any other clues?"
Liu Yuzhou shook his head, and said: "The clothes and weapons used by these men in black are very ordinary things, which are very common in the Jianghu, and no valuable clues can be found. Moreover, they don't carry any weapons with them at all. Things, the subordinates are also clever women who can't cook without rice, and can't find useful things."
Ou Peng snorted and said, "Don't you have any clue?"
Liu Yuzhou said in a low voice: "This subordinate is incompetent, and I haven't found any other clues for now."
Then, he opened his mouth again, hesitating to speak. Ou Peng couldn't help frowning, and said: "Just tell me what's going on. You have a great responsibility now. You have to find out who is behind the scenes. Our Misty Sect is not a small sect that will be bullied."
Liu Yuzhou hurriedly bowed and said, "My subordinates have learned a little bit about the situation at that time from the subordinates of Huanxi Villa and the female disciples of Mingcuitang, but I still want to know more about it. Qin and Shiniu have been killed by the gang leader for the past few days. Keep it, the subordinates have never had a chance to find them, do you want them to describe the situation at that time again today, just as the elders are here, help the subordinates to analyze it, what do you think?"
Ou Peng nodded and said: "That's very good. I've also heard some things, and I always feel a little strange. Let them talk about it today, and you are also counselors. Shi Niu, you can tell the specific situation exactly. Bar."
Shi Niu stroked his forehead and said, "Big gang leader, do you want to tell me everything?"
Ou Peng glared at him and said, "Nonsense, talk about it all."
Shi Niu thought about it, so he opened his mouth and said, "That day I drove the carriage and drove Master Ou and Master Qin out of the gate of Huanxi Villa... Later, I felt refreshed, so I couldn't help singing a ditty, At first they praised me very much, but when they sang it, they didn't like to listen to it, but, Lord, God, I know this song, and if you want me to sing other songs, I can't sing it. .”
Everyone looked at each other in dismay when they heard this, what was it all about, that Liu Qingyang almost spat out the wine in his mouth, after that, everyone couldn't help laughing, and covered their mouths to laugh.
Ou Peng also didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he waved his hand and said, "Shi Niu, pick up the important ones."
Shi Niu frowned and said, "Big gang leader, didn't you let me tell you everything?"
Ou Peng said with a "bah": "I want to tell you everything, but I also want to tell you everything before and after the attack on the owner. When you just drove out, the man in black didn't know where he was. What's there to say?" ? And what about your singing, what does it have to do with being attacked?"
Shi Niu answered aggrievedly: "How do I know what is related to the man in black? Maybe I sing well and they are jealous? Or maybe the man in black knows when I drive out."
Talking unintentionally, but listening intently, Ou Peng rolled his eyes, nodded and said, "That makes sense, Liu Yuzhou, do you understand?"
Liu Yuzhou nodded and said, "This subordinate understands."
Shi Niu asked in surprise: "Master Liu, what do you understand? Why don't I understand?"
Ou Peng waved his hand and said, "It's none of your business, you should talk about it."
Shi Niu asked again tirelessly: "Then, should we still say everything?"
Ou Peng thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it."
Shi Niu asked again: "Really say everything?"
Ou Peng said angrily: "If you tell me, just say it, don't talk so much nonsense, even if you go to the latrine, you still have to say it."
Stone Niu blushed, hesitantly said: "This, this need not be said."
Ou Peng gritted his teeth and was about to run away.
Seeing this, Shi Niu hurriedly spoke honestly again.
Don't look at Shi Niu as a reckless guy with a rough heart, but when talking about the things along the way, he also talked about everything in detail, and he said it slowly, unexpectedly it seemed to be true.
When it comes to every place along the way, when there is a young man named Zhang Xiaohua in Huanxi Villa who wants to go out to find a place to practice martial arts, Ou Peng can't help frowning, looking at Aunt Qin suspiciously, and said: "This young man named Zhang Xiaohua , why is the name so familiar?"
Before Ou Peng finished speaking, Liu Yuzhou stood up immediately, and said anxiously: "Master Qin, this young man goes out every day, and you didn't follow him to see? It is very likely that he is the internal response of the man in black. This man is now here. Where? I have to catch him and torture him."
Shi Niu, who was speaking heartily, was interrupted by Ou Peng, so naturally he didn't dare to say anything, but when he heard Liu Yuzhou's call, he immediately quit, angrily said: "Why do you say that about Zhang Xiaohua, I can guarantee Zhang Xiaohua is definitely not the insider of the man in black."
Liu Yuzhou said: "Every internal response is naturally covered up very well. How could it be possible for you to know? Stone Niu, you are rather careless, of course you can't find out. Don't just guarantee it just because of personal feelings."
At this time, a voice like an oriole chirping sounded: "Master Liu, I also have the same thoughts as Shi Niu. I am willing to use my wealth and life to guarantee that this little flower will definitely not be an internal response."
Liu Yuzhou didn't need to look back, he also knew that it was Aunt Qin who spoke, he frowned and said, "Master Qin, now is not the time to be arrogant, we are looking for clues, we have to suspect any possible clues, we would rather kill one by mistake than let one go .”
Aunt Qin was a little anxious, and said in one breath: "Well, you heard that a person who should be the last to kill himself will kill himself; Not knowing martial arts, would you risk your life in front of others?"
Liu Yuzhou was taken aback for a moment, and said puzzledly: "Master Qin, you don't have to be excited. When it comes to Zhang Xiaohua, how do you say so many words?"
Shi Niu interrupted him with a loud voice beside him, saying: "Zhang Xiaohua is the one who finally blocked the front of Master Ou and killed the old man in black."
Suddenly, Liu Yuzhou got up and apologized, "Master Qin, don't blame me, I still don't know these things."
Aunt Qin breathed a sigh of relief, and showed her face and said: "No blame, no blame, Master Liu, I am also a little impatient. In fact, when Zhang Xiaohua went out to practice boxing, I also sent someone to watch it. She was indeed practicing some The messy boxing skills, I guess he is afraid of being laughed at, I have also asked He Tianshu from the Pharmacy Hall about this."
Ou Peng was also stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Well, so I also remembered that Yan'er mentioned this name when she came back, saying that it saved her life, it seems that she fell after being injured by the man in black. Into the water, I don’t know if I found it now?”
Boss Hu said, "I haven't found it yet. I have sent people and contacted relevant forces to help find it."
Afterwards, he hesitated for a while, and said: "However, I have searched for dozens of miles downstream, and I have not seen anyone alive or dead. It has been almost a month, and it is estimated that there is no hope of finding them again. There are nine out of ten. He was killed on the spot by the black-clothed old man, and his body sank in the river long ago to feed the fish and turtles."
Ou Peng nodded, and said: "Well, no matter how I say, I saved Yan'er's life, so I need to take good care of her."
Boss Hu agreed: "It's the New Year now, and the faction is busy, so it's not easy to inform about this kind of thing now, and he has an older brother who works in the Lotus Escort Agency, and is currently sending long darts, let's talk about it when we come back. "
Ou Peng nodded without making a sound, and then motioned for Shi Niu to continue.
Stone Niu understood, and gave Liu Yuzhou a hard look, and continued with what he said just now, telling the whole story of the journey.
After hearing what Shi Niu had finished, Boss Hu spoke first, and said, "The robbery we ran forward should be consistent with our initial speculation. It is to detect our power. Hall Master Qin is a well-known figure in the world. , people must know the details of martial arts, and Shiniu is not well-known in the Jianghu, but he must be no stranger to the gangs we are familiar with, or pay attention to our gangs. The competition is obviously two situations. I guess they didn't expect He Tianshu from the pharmacy hall. Although this guy's martial arts is not top-notch, it may just be an obstacle for them, preventing them from being able to firmly hold us down, so There was no real action in that robbery."
Ou Peng continued what Boss Hu said: "So, they hurriedly found this old man in black with excellent martial arts skills, and made a foolproof arrangement. They asked people with similar martial arts skills to Hall Master Qin and the others to drag Shi Niu and the others, and then let the black man The old man in clothes captures or kills Yan'er, hehe, what a trick, what a strategy."
Boss Hu also smiled and said: "However, they didn't expect that our disciples would see the clues and send backup to rescue them."
Ou Peng also smiled a little, and said: "Yes, this disciple named Lan Dong is very good, shrewd, and careful. He should go back to the faction with the team. Let him deliver it, and choose another disciple to go down and send Let him stay in the faction and focus on training him, he should be of great use."
Boss Hu said: "Yes, this time it is thanks to Lan Dong. Without his news, we are still kept in the dark, and the second and fifth children can't arrive in time. It is appropriate to give him a reward."
At this time, Shi Niu said: "Big gang leader, I think Zhang Xiaohua should be the one with the greatest skill this time. If he hadn't killed the old man in black, not only the owner would be in trouble, even if Lan Dong and the others arrived, I am afraid……"
After hearing this, Ou Peng nodded and said: "That's true, but this person has already gone, it's useless to talk about those skills, and Zhang Xiaohua is not from our Misty Sect, how do you want me to commend him? It’s better to give more benefits from pensions.”
Stone Niu scratched his head, and said: "Anyway, the leader of the big gang knows who has the most credit, and the other Stone Niu has no objections."
Liu Yuzhou spoke again, and said, "Guild Leader, from Shi Niu's description just now, I think it should be a gang we are familiar with, or a famous sect in the Jianghu. That's why I found some shady people from other places to work for them, which caused a shortage of manpower during night raids. Otherwise, the people in black might not use any tricks and strategies just by relying on the eldest lady. Yes, direct force will do.”
Ou Peng said with a smile: "What Master Liu said is very true. This shows that you naturally have a certain conspiracy. I will leave it to you to find out the reason. I hope the truth will come to light soon."
Liu Yuzhou made a bitter face and said, "Okay, my subordinates will do their best."
Afterwards, Ou Peng looked at Shi Niu and Aunt Qin again, and said: "Teacher Qin, Shi Niu, you have worked very hard before, but you didn't analyze the situation in detail on the way, and the planning and arrangement along the way also had loopholes. Tell me, what should you do?"
Aunt Qin smiled wryly and said: "What the leader said is very true. This subordinate was careless. If he had paid a little attention, he would have discovered something strange, and it would not be almost irreversible in the end. The subordinate is willing to accept the crime."
Shi Niu also patted his head and said: "Big gang leader, I know I was wrong, and I am willing to accept the crime. However, you can be punished in any way, but you must not punish me for not drinking. Last time I went out with the eldest lady, I didn't dare to go all the way. Open the drink, if I don't let me enjoy it now, I will be suffocated."
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere in the meeting room became lively.
Ou Peng smiled and said: "You two have been traveling all the way, there is no merit but hard work, but our Piaomiao faction has always given clear rewards and punishments, and we can't give something that equals merits and demerits. You can go to the Law Enforcement Hall to receive the punishment later."
Aunt Qin and Shi Niu hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Understood, leader."
Afterwards, Ou Peng waved his hand and told Liu Yuzhou, Aunt Qin, Shi Niu and others to go on first.
After the people left, Ou Peng said to Boss Hu: "Elder brother, this year is almost like a year. In a blink of an eye, it will be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month again. Everything needs to be planned."
