The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 155 Zhao Qian Sun Li

"I know, a few days ago, you didn't say that the whole hall of the Disha hall was so uproarious about this matter that many hall masters were not safe for three days and two nights. After working for several days, they could not find any clues related to the murderer, and then they gradually disappeared. , What's the matter, did you discover something new?" Old Qian pondered.

"This time, you are really right. In Dishamen, it has been confirmed that the five hall masters who died that night were killed by a single sword. I don't know where the wind came from in the past two days. I heard that they shot that night. Swordsman, dressed in white." When it came to the crucial point, Lao Zhao spoke slowly and softly, after all, these details should not be said in this place where people come and go.

"Then what does Lao Li want to tell us to do?" Lao Qian was well aware of the secrecy of this matter, so he didn't dare to say too much, but went straight to the point.

"Help them find this murderous white-clothed swordsman, reward... a hundred taels of silver." Lao Zhao said, he barely uttered the word "hundred taels" at the end, and Lao Qian and Lao Sun judged it entirely from the shape of his mouth from.

"Really!?" Old Qian's eyes lit up, but he became sluggish again in a blink of an eye, and murmured, "Most swordsmen in the rivers and lakes like to wear fluttering white clothes. You can't just grab one on the street and treat it as a murderer, right?"

"Yeah, we... aren't we just one." Lao Sun was very calm this time, trying to speak as quietly as possible, and didn't say the key words at all, but directly swept his eyes at Jiang Yichen beside him, It seems to be saying "far away in the sky and close in front of us".

"It's almost time. Xiaoer, pay the bill." Unlike the sad faces of the two, Lao Zhao smiled and called Xiaoer to pay the bill, signaling them to leave.

Lao Zhao's actions were inexplicable, although Lao Sun and Lao Qian were puzzled, but seeing that he had a plan in mind, he followed his advice.

"Okay, let's go slowly." Xiaoer respectfully sent Zhao Qiansun and the others out of the door before turning back to work.

The three of them merged into the bustling crowd, and disappeared on this street not long after.

The three of them had just stepped out of the Roujiamo shop less than ten steps away, and Jiang Yichen, who was supposed to be dozing off, was nowhere to be found, and he could only find the silver taels on the table where he had been.

Jinzhou City is a common square city, extending in all directions, with gates on all sides and stables on all sides.

It's just that the stables in the west of the city are now considered deserted. Because the south of Gein City is adjacent to the inland side of Zhongzhou, the stables in the south of the city are much larger than those in the east and north of the city.

These stables are all under the jurisdiction of the Jinzhou government, and the stables in the south of the city are no exception. However, it is not necessary to be a person in the government to manage the stables. As long as the stables can be managed in an orderly manner, the Jinzhou government is still willing to hire capable people to do the hard work. Unflattering and tiring.

Lao Li is such a lucky man, because Li's father is in charge of the official stables, Lao Li is close to the water, and he has been in contact with horses since he was a child. After that, Li's father committed greed a year before he became an official. He took advantage of his position to secretly sell a government horse. After this incident, in order to avoid suspicion, Lao Li could no longer hold a position in the government, but now he is still enjoying the salary issued by the government. The silver is not much, but it is enough to subsidize his family.

With this ability and the particularity of his position, Di Shamen approached Lao Li a few years ago, and the two hit it off, and Lao Li became a Di Shamen. Few people know.

From time to time, Lao Li would make some rumors, ask the people and neighbors to help find people and things, and give them rewards. Because of their good credit, everyone is willing to help, and then they are well-known in the south of the city. People in the government turn a blind eye to this. With one eye, as long as the interests of the government are not harmed, they will not investigate the heavy identity behind him, and sometimes they will use his convenience to do some private affairs. Therefore, Lao Li is quite a man in the south of Jinzhou City.

At this moment, a group of people were surrounding a tall and strong man in front of the stables. The man's face was already wrinkled, and it could be seen that he was in his forties, but his slightly robust body still added a bit of youth to him. All the vigor of a person, this person is Lao Li.

Obviously, these old and young people who surrounded Lao Li have been short of money recently, and they are waiting for him to issue a mission, so that they can work hard.

The sun is rising, even if you hide under the stables, you feel a little hot, let alone the people around the stables, but Lao Li hasn't spoken yet, everyone is still waiting patiently, after all, suffering for wealth is nothing , not to mention just basking in the sun.

Lao Li stretched out his hand to cover the hot light, looked around, and saw three people striding towards the horse shop not far away, so he cleared his throat and was about to speak.

The noisy crowd fell silent in an instant, and all they could hear were the footsteps of the three people coming from behind.

After seeing the three people from behind entering the crowd, Lao Li didn't write a word, and said straight to the point: "This is the situation. Just now there is news that two dead bodies were found outside the West City Gate. They are from Sihai Ziyexuan. The government has no intention of mixing it up." Jianghu matter, but still ordered people to collect the corpses, Wu Zuo checked and found that the muscles of the two corpses were contracted, the joints could not be bent, and the state of rigor had already appeared, and the death time should have exceeded half an hour. They were wounded by a sword and killed with one blow. Some people saw that the two were going out of the city. Therefore, the murderer probably entered the city. In the city, you can bring news, and a reliable news is worth five taels."

After finishing speaking, the crowd dispersed without needing to ask any more questions.

"Half an hour has passed? This time doesn't seem to match." After hearing the first half of Lao Li's sentence, Lao Zhao was overjoyed. He thought he could kill two birds with one stone. After inferring, he denied the idea in his heart, which is a pity.

"Hey, old Zhao, you are too greedy. If we can beat the first one, it will be great. You are lucky, you want to kill two birds with one stone." Hearing Lao Zhao's muttering, Lao Qian immediately followed His thoughts, smiled.

"There are so many people here, so it's not convenient to talk to Lao Li?" Lao Sun frowned and said something that seemed irrelevant, but Zhao and Qian also showed embarrassment after hearing the words.

It turned out that on the way here, Lao Zhao compared the information he had with the young man in white he saw in the Roujiamo shop, and simply told Sun and Qian about his analysis. He came to the south of the city because he knew Lao Li At this time, I have time to spare, and I am going to make some calculations with them. How could I know that an accident happened in the west of the city, so many people came to accept temporary tasks, and now everyone is leaving. If they go forward to meet them, it will be too conspicuous. One hundred taels of silver is determined to get it, and I don't want to have ears across the wall and be caught first.

The three of them were impatient, but they had no choice but to go with the flow for a while and backed away. They were planning to meet Lao Li again when the others were gone, when they suddenly heard Lao Li yelling, "Old Zhao, I came to your store yesterday to make an appointment." Have you brought half a catty of persimmon leaf tea?"

Old Zhao was taken aback, and thought to himself, he stayed in the store yesterday, but the two of them didn't meet each other, so Old Li had something to say to them, so he turned around and replied, "Hey, I'm sorry Old Lizi, I woke up early in the morning with my head knocked, confused, I packed the tea but forgot to bring it, how about I get it at home and bring two pots of home-brewed Xiaozhuo to apologize to you? "

The implication of Lao Zhao's words is to bring Lao Sun and Lao Qian to talk with Lao Li, and the next step is to see what Lao Li means.

"It's so good, it's so good, there's a lot of dust in the stables, you can call me at the intersection and I'll pick it up." Lao Li laughed.

The stables are very dusty, so it is not a big problem to put a large amount of wine in a jug. The greeting at the intersection refers to the old place where they often make appointments.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

There is Zhike Zhai at the intersection not far from the stables in the south of the city. It is a good place in Jinzhou City where you can drink and eat.

In a private room of Zhike Zhai, Zhao Qian, Sun Li and four people are gathering here.

They can talk freely in the Zhike Zhai, because this is the site of Dishamen, from the shopkeeper to the waiter, all belong to Dishamen, and this is also the old place where the four little ones often gather in recent years.

"Old buddies, you've got a lot of work these days. If you work hard, you can reap a lot of benefits." Lao Li poured wine for Zhao, Qian, and Sun, and said respectfully.

"This is nature, this is nature." The three of them drank the wine together and echoed.

"Actually, the two people from Ziyexuan who died outside the west city gate were indeed dead. The reason why the people in the gate cared so much about this matter was not only because the wound was done by the person who used the sword, but also because the person who used the sword made the wound. Rigidity is not the natural rigor that occurs after being killed, but the stagnation of blood in the body, which leads to the early appearance of rigor." Lao Li said with a serious expression.

"You mean, the two died within half an hour?" Old Zhao asked in surprise.
