Chapter 222 Catch the Bad Guy

The provincial capital is much bigger than Feng'an County, and there are many inns. I found a relatively quiet inn to stay in. Cheng Zhongqian shared a room with Cheng Yun, Cheng Yi shared a room with Cheng Jin, and Lingbao and Xie Wuyang shared a single room. , and Lingbao's room is in the middle, and there are people on both sides.

The township examination was due to be held soon, so the price of the inn was almost twice as expensive as usual.

Lingbao exclaimed: "It's so expensive!"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "You guys have to come later, the price has to go up."

The price increase is easy to say, but the most fearful thing is that there is no good place to live.

In the next few days, many scholars came one after another, all dressed as scholars, and Cheng Zhongqian would go to communicate with them, but most of them stayed in the room to review.

That night, Lingbao had a long-lost dream.

The time in the dream should be the day before the exam, and the scene in the dream was the backyard of the inn they were in.

There is a well in the backyard of the inn. According to the shopkeeper, this well cost a full ten taels of silver, and it is usually this well that manages the food and drink of the entire inn.

There is a curfew in the Great Xia Dynasty, and no one cares about the countryside, but this provincial capital has both guards and officers and soldiers on patrol. Generally, after the evening drum, no one will go out, and they will stay in their guest rooms obediently , either read or sleep.

But suddenly there was a sneaky figure in the dark backyard.

He half covered his face and couldn't see his face.

He looked like a man, tall and thin, and he seemed to be afraid of being discovered. He kept looking around, walked lightly to the mouth of the well, took out a bag of powder from his arms, opened it and sprinkled it in the well water.

At this time, Lingbao still wondered what he was doing, until the next day, Cheng Zhongqian, who drank the well water, fell into a coma until the end of the first day's exam.

To be precise, not only him, but the entire inn fell asleep, the difference is only in the length of time.

Passers-by are still surprised, the inn is not open today?
I heard that this inn lived in a lot of scholars who came to take the exam, why didn't they come out?

Cheng Zhongqian, who missed the provincial examination, was hit hard. The provincial examination is held every three years, and he has to wait another three years if he wants to take it again!
After waking up, Lingbao sat on the bed and sulked, how could there be such a bad person? !

She was going to find her big brother next door, and turned her head to face the big king who was squatting on the bed with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"My lord, what's the matter with you?" Ling Bao asked doubtfully.

The king asked: "Lingbao, did you dream that someone poured sweat medicine into the well water in the backyard of the inn?"

Lingbao's eyes widened in shock: "How do you know? I haven't said anything yet!"

King: "Because I 'saw' it."

After explaining clearly, Lingbao asked: "Why is this happening? You obviously couldn't see it before."

The king thought for a moment and said, "It should be the reason for the upgrade last time."

After all, the prophetic dream is related to the pendant, and the pendant is related to it.

Yes, it must be so!
One person and one cat didn't struggle with this issue for too long, Lingbao went to the next door to find Cheng Yun after changing his clothes, and told Cheng Yun exactly what he had dreamed.

Cheng Yun frowned, he didn't see his face
But it's not a big deal, if you know when that person is going to act, just lay an ambush in advance.

"Ambush who?" Cheng Yi who had just walked to the door asked excitedly.

That look eager to try can't wait to fight in person.

Cheng Yun: "."

Lingbao's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Cheng Yun's sleeve and said, "Let's take the second brother with us. The second brother is strong and skilled in martial arts, so he will definitely be able to subdue him!"

"Who is who?" Cheng Yi asked anxiously, "Who are you subduing?"

Lingbao's face was serious: "A villain!"

Cheng Yi patted his chest: "That must be subdued! With me around, no villain can escape!" He looked resolute and his eyes were sharp.

Cheng Yun looked at Cheng Jin who had been silent all this time, Cheng Jin silently looked back and said, "I want to go too."

The final result was that Xie Wuyang, together with Xie Wuyang, participated in this "catch the bad guys" plan.

The day before the exam, Lingbao and the others took a good nap during the day.

At night, the bustle faded away, and the inn fell silent.

In the dream, he could only be sure that it was the day before the exam, but Lingbao couldn't be sure when it was.

So after most of the people in the inn rested, Lingbao and the others dispatched.

Slipping to the backyard with the torch in hand, the group of people wanted to find a hidden place to hide.

Then extinguish the fire and wait for the arrival of the prisoner.

After waiting for a long time, the backyard was quiet and there was no movement.

The weather in February is still very cold, Cheng Yun asked in a low voice, "Is it cold?"

The children all shook their heads. They were wearing thick clothes, but their ears were a little cold.

Lingbao couldn't help but scratched his ears, his white and delicate ears were a little red.Xie Wuyang saw it, stared at it for a while, stretched out his hand to cover it, and the hot temperature came over immediately.

"Isn't it cold?" Xie Wuyang asked angrily.

Ling Bao nodded with wry eyebrows.

After a while, Lingbao pulled his hand down, the back of his hand was cold.

Cheng Yi yawned: "Why hasn't the person appeared yet? Maybe he won't come?"

"Probably not." Cheng Yun said.

After waiting for a while, everyone became a little impatient, and finally there was a slight movement!
Lingbao immediately put his finger on his pursed mouth: "Shhh—"

Everyone held their breath in unison and listened attentively.

Darkness makes people's vision less clear, but amplifies hearing.

Lingbao could only vaguely see a figure, but his slightly rapid but forcibly suppressed breathing was clearly audible.

When the man walked to the well and took out the medicine powder packet from his pocket, Lingbao confirmed that it was this villain!
Because she was too excited, she accidentally made a sound, and the man was alert: "Who?!"

He turned his head, but saw a pair of green "eyes" staring straight at him. He was so frightened that his legs trembled and he almost peed his pants.

no?Retribution came so quickly? !

At the same time, Lingbao yelled: "Catch him!"

The man was taken aback and was about to run away.

But Cheng Yi's movements were too fast, it would not be an exaggeration to say that a meteor was chasing the moon, and he "flyed" in front of that person in an instant, and he didn't know how he did it, so he put that person aside with a "shua, shua, shua".

The man still wanted to struggle, but Ling Bao and the others also ran over and surrounded him.Unless he grows wings, he will never escape.

"Let me go, let me go!" the man yelled, continuing to struggle without giving up.

Lingbao: "Second brother, don't let him go!"

This bastard!

Xie Wuyang blew on Huo Zhezi, and the area suddenly lit up.

Cheng Yun tore off the cloth strips covering his face expressionlessly, and recognized that he was also one of the candidates for the provincial examination.

The man's face was pale, it was over.

It's all over.
