Dali Temple Small Dining Room 2

Chapter 81 Sauerkraut Fish ([-])
The three streets and nine alleys in the night are still noisy and noisy, and the people are running around for their livelihoods, and there are not a few people who work day and night.

Living in places like Three Streets and Nine Alleys is inevitably noisy, but today there is a trace of restraint mixed with the noise.

Seeing the officers and soldiers who suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley, the one who was about to go out to watch the watchman couldn't help but look over curiously. He saw a few green-robed officials coming out of the house at the entrance of the alley, and said, "He's dead. There were traces of fighting. The house was in a mess, and the plain noodles just made were scattered all over the floor. He had never hit the other party, and he was stabbed three times, and died with the last stab."

Is someone dead?The watchman who was about to leave stopped, looked at the two green-robed officials who were talking, frowned and hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask my lord, the one who died was the owner of this house. Hu's cripple?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu who were talking looked towards him and asked, "Do you recognize him?"

The watchman nodded: "I know." After a pause, he said, "He and I have known each other since we were young. I think it was pretty good in these three streets and nine alleys back then. Who would have known... Hey! The neighbors in this neighborhood , he is the most dilapidated here." He pointed to the wooden footbasin under the eaves.

Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu followed his direction, looked at the broken eaves above the wooden foot basin, and immediately understood: when it is raining, it is raining heavily outside, and it is raining lightly in this room. It is used for the rainwater that has leaked.

Although the people living in the three streets and nine alleys are all ordinary people, none of them live a wealthy life, and they all live in low-rise houses.But among such a row of houses, only the house in front of me is the most dilapidated among the four neighbors.

"When his parents were there, he worked hard and lived a good life here. Later, he was enlisted in the army for a few years." The watchman couldn't help but sigh while speaking, "It's also bad luck. I heard that the sent out He was injured while rescuing someone, and the well-behaved man became a lame man. After he came back, he couldn’t say anything about a good girl. After a few years of delay, before he got married, his parents passed away. After that, he has been living alone, occasionally I will also walk around with those retired veterans, but the one who walks the most is the one surnamed Ma in the alley next door. He injured his hand. I heard that the two were injured together. The situation is similar, and there is only one left in the family. They take care of each other."

Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu looked at each other when they heard this.

At this moment, Lin Fei led Zhao You and other servants around from the alley next door. Seeing them, Lin Fei walked into the house without saying a word.

The dilapidated and musty room was very dark, and even the oil lamp on the table was bought from the street by the guards, otherwise it would not be able to illuminate the room.

Lin Fei walked over, knelt down and looked at the big man lying in a pool of blood.

Hu Chengzu, 45 years old.The big bottom is that life is miserable, and his appearance looks much older than his peers, most of his hair is gray, and his beard is stubbled.

The lame leg was bent unnaturally.Lin Fei took a visual inspection of this man's figure: If nothing happened, he would be a tall man.Such a person may do something after joining the army.

However, the limp leg cut off that possibility.

After chatting with the watchman outside, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu walked in and called "Lin Shaoqing".

Lin Fei gave a "hmm", and before the two of them could speak, he said, "Ma Sanci in the alley next door is similar to Hu Chengzu's."

The same injury retired, and the family members died one after another, leaving only one person.Never married a wife, life is miserable, so the two walk around each other, there is a care.

If the only difference is that one injured his leg and the other injured his hand.

"Those who recruit people for work rarely recruit people like them. Even if they do, they don't pay much money. Naturally, life is tight." Liu Yuan sighed for a while, then sneered, "Across a road The two people in the alley had accidents at the same time, how could it be a coincidence?"

It's robbers stealing... Which robber would choose people like Hu Chengzu and Ma Sanci?
Speaking of this, Liu Yuan couldn't help being annoyed: "The two of them were fine when we came to ask during the day, if at that time..."

Bai Zhu stretched out his hand and patted Liu Yuan's shoulder, comforting him: "At that time, neither Hu Chengzu nor Ma Sanci showed any abnormalities, but somehow..."

This was not his evasive words, but the reaction of Hu and Ma at that time was indeed very unusual.The two of them asked repeatedly, and they both shook their heads and said that they didn't know much about the Huaishan County King's family, and what they said was no different from other retired veterans.

Lin Fei looked down at Hu Chengzu who was lying on the ground, and said nothing for a long time.

Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu looked at each other, but did not interrupt Shangfeng's meditation.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao You's voice sounded outside.

"Lin Shaoqing, someone brought it!"

Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu looked back, only to see two tall men walking in led by Zhao You.

Just stepped into the house, and when they saw Hu Chengzu who fell to the ground, the eyes of the two tall men turned red.

"I didn't expect Chengzu to..."

"That's right! He and Sanci are the only ones among us...how could..."

"The two of them had the best martial arts back then, and they were also the fastest promoted, if it wasn't for... hey!"

After Lin Fei let the two tall men sigh for a while, he asked aloud: "What caused the injuries of Hu Chengzu and Ma Sanci?"

The two men were startled when they heard the words, their eyes fell on Lin Fei's scarlet officer running up and paused for a while, and then they said: "Actually, this matter shouldn't be left unsaid, after all, it's just for soldiers to go out and wipe out the villains. Prepare to be injured or even die, so where did the injury come from? Not only me, but even Chengzu and Sanci didn’t mention it. But my lord, you Dali Temple..."

They are not stupid, they saw Lin Fei's scarlet officer running away, and they had dealt with Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu during the day, so they naturally knew that this matter was about human life and murder, and Hu Chengzu and Ma Sanci were together at this time. Qi was attacked and died, and there was obviously something wrong with it, so he hesitated a little before revealing the cause of the injury.

"25 years ago, I waited as a soldier in the military camp near Salt Lake City. The two of them had the best skills and the fastest promotion." The two men said, "Later, two adults came to ask questions during the day. In the past, the capture of Huaishan County Wang’s family was reported to the military camp, and the military camp learned that the officers and soldiers near Salt Lake City colluded with bandits and oppressed the people, so they sent troops to suppress it.”

"Before sending troops to suppress, we must know the situation in Salt Lake City, so the military camp sent a small group of elites to sneak into Salt Lake City to find out the situation first, and Chengzu and Sanci were among them." The two men said, "That small group Half of the elites met outside the city, and half entered the city. The two of them entered the city. As a result, the half that entered the city was unlucky and faced the local officers, soldiers and bandits head-on. Many people died. When I was rescued, I thought I couldn’t make it through, but in the end I saved my life, but injured my legs and hands.”

Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu's expressions changed when the two men said that Hu and Ma were injured when the Huaishan county king's family was captured. Fei said, "Lin Shaoqing, I'm afraid this matter has something to do with the Huaishan Prince's family."
