Chapter 66 I Don't Know

"Then why are you going to Six Gates to cause trouble?"

Mrs. Xu said: "After the master's death, we were going to prepare for the funeral. The usury person came to ask for debts. If he didn't pay back the money, he would have to collect our house. At this time, the scholar named Yu came to the door and said that as long as I took people to Liushou to cause trouble, the previous debt would be cancelled." At this point, Mrs. Xu sighed, "Our master valued the most during his lifetime. I was also a dignified sixth-rank imperial lady. He acted like a shrew and was forced to do nothing."

It’s Master Yu again! He was all over the place!

After hearing what Mrs. Xu said, Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing had a general understanding of the whole story. Master Yu is the minion of Mr. Qian, and Mr. Qian has always had grudges with Liusanmen. Sun Mengwu's case and the fight between the five cities of the military personnel did not get any advantage, so they used this matter to discredit Liusanmen.

If you want to deal with Prince Qian, Master Yu is the first to be the one who is in trouble. They and Fan Zhao not only have personal grudges, but also have public anger.

Mrs. Xu said: "I have said everything I should say or not. Can you put down your knife?"

Fan Xiaodao slapped his head, "By the way, we forgot to kill you. Someone wants to kill you, and he has already collected the money. What should we do?"

"What do you think of?"

"We use people's money and people to eliminate disasters, and we are professional ethics. As long as you are willing to give double the money, we can give up our morality."

"We are now in a bare house, where can we give you money?" Mrs. Xu looked at Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing, and said "ah", "I remember, you two are not killers, but the constables of Liushemen!"

Seeing that the two of them had no choice but to confess, "It's true, but it's true that someone killed you. Even if we don't do it, they will send someone else to do it."

Zhao Xing also said: "Can we go to Lord Xu's study to investigate?"

Mrs. Xu brought the two to the study. The incident happened too hastily. The study still retained the appearance of Xu Yushi's suicide. There were four treasures of the study in the study. There were some leftovers of the leftovers on the coffee table. It was not cleaned up and it was already moldy.

There is a white silk on the beam of the room and a stool is inside the room. The door bolt has been destroyed and there is no sign of outsiders breaking in.

Fan Xiaodao looked at it and asked, "Mr. Xu hasn't gone out in the last few days? No one has ever been here?"

Mrs. Xu said: "No."

Fan Xiaodao glanced at the leftovers and bowls on the table and said, "Why are there two wine glasses on the table?"

"Our master always prepares two cups when he drinks. It is said that when he is young, he has a twin brother. Later, he is starved to death due to famine. Every time the master is happy or unhappy, he likes to prepare two cups and talk to himself in the study. On the night of the accident, the book boy outside the door said that the master cried and laughed in the study, and when he was having a good time drinking, he even started a show."

Fan Xiaodao used a silver needle to test the food. There was no poison inside. He came to the desk. The pen and ink on it were neatly arranged, with a few pieces of rice paper on it, which were densely packed and written in the same content.

"The Qiongzi is only on the Yaotai, who is planting everywhere in Jiangnan? The high men lie in the mountains all over the snow, and the beautiful women come under the forest. The cold is leaning on the sparse shadows and the bamboos are whistling in spring, and the fragrance is still in the desert. From now on, he has no good thoughts, and the east wind is sad and quiet for a few times."

Seeing this, Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing looked shocked.

It's this poem again!

That day, I saw this poem in Sun Mengwu's belly. Today, I saw this poem in the study where Yushi Xu committed suicide. Could these two things have some connection?

Fan Xiaodao sent Mrs. Xu away and asked Zhao Xing: "Can he be the one who killed him?"

Zhao Xing looked around and shook his head, "Often the secret room killing, no matter how skillful the technique is, there will be clues left. However, the scene is clean and neat, and the doors and windows are locked, unless the murderer evaporates after the murder."

Fan Xiaodao flipped through the manuscript on the table and suddenly saw a copy of the handwriting, which was different from the others. It was obviously not written by Lord Xu. So who wrote it?

Zhao Xingdao: "If Xu Jingshi was forced by a debtor and there was a scandal, the possibility of suicide was very high. But how did Prince Qian's men get involved with him? What secret does this poem hide?"

Fan Xiaodao said: "No matter what secret he is, I'll find a way to arrest Master Yu and ask for it."

Zhao Xing shook his head, "He is Qian's man. Although he is in a dilemma with us everywhere, there is no substantial evidence and he cannot be arrested at all."

Fan Xiaodao said: "If you join these six doors, you feel that doing things is not as good as being a bandit. If you do this, it will be difficult to do it the same way, so why not try my method."

Fan Xiaodao hid the poem with different handwriting in his arms, thinking in his mind that he had to go find Yizhihua to inquire. After the two came out, they said to Mrs. Xu: "We have to leave, but before leaving, we have something to ask for."

"What's up?"

"Lend your head to use it."

Mrs. Xu's face changed drastically. Just as she was about to ask for help, Fan Xiaodao repeatedly tapped her mute hole, took off the hairpin and hair accessories on her head, and said to her: "The capital is not peaceful now, so you should find an opportunity to leave the city and hide for a few days."

...

The two of them came to the designated place with Zhao Laoqi, carrying a bag, and meeting with Zhao Laoqi. Seeing the bloody bag and the woman's hair and jewelry exposed outside, Zhao Laoqi said happily: "Have you succeeded?"

Zhao Xingdao: "Fortunately, why don't you be humiliated? Why don't you check it?"

Zhao Laoqi waved his hands repeatedly and covered his nose: "I can't stand the smell of blood, it's unlucky."

"So should I pay the final payment?"

Zhao Laoqi said: "What's the final price? It's only forty taels!"

Zhao Xing said in a deep voice: "When you pulled us into the gang, that's not what you said. How could we kill people? Are you planning to go back on your word?"

Zhao Laoqi said, "You killed someone, but now they are guilty. If the government knows, they will be dead. It is already good to give you forty taels of silver. The rest will be considered as money for joining the gang. There are still many such things in the future. Don't worry, let's have fun and drink in the future."

Fan Xiaodaohuo was so angry that he could get up, "You are just like that, and you still want to compete for territory with Sihetang and Guilou? The pattern is a bit smaller."

"How come you two are questioning my leadership?"

Click!

Two knives were placed on Zhao Laoqi's neck, "Killing one person is also dead, and killing two people is also dead. Since that's the case, you won't lose your life."

Zhao Laoqi immediately became timid, "Brother, just kidding. Isn't it just a matter of money? I only collected a deposit. I will share the remaining money with you when I want to come back."

“Take us to see the employer.”

"This is probably inconsistent with the rules."

"Shou shalt talk to us, follow the rules when handling cases, and what are the rules when killing people?"

Zhao Laoqi was stunned, "Handling the case? Are you from the government?"

Zhao Xing lit his waist card, "I see clearly that we are the heads of the Six Gates. Today, we are hiring murderers. You have violated the Ming Dynasty law and have a criminal record. Now you are dead. If you are willing to explain clearly, we may be able to open the door in the relationship."

Zhao Laoqi immediately became depressed, "No matter what I do, I am also entrusted by someone to make a difference."

Zhao Xing sternly said: "Who is instructing me?"

"This person's surname is Wang and his name is Bogao. Everything is contacted through him. I don't know anything else!"

Fan Xiaodao said: "It's this turtle cake again."

In the Xia Yuhe case, the two killers were also matched by Wang Bogao's broker, which made the two of them stay in prison for several days. After the case was settled, they had no time to settle the score with this person. Unexpectedly, the case involved him again.

Fan Xiaodao said: "How to contact us?"

"Go to Nanluoguxiang and find a door with a one-eyed stone lion in front of the door, and go forward and knock on the door, three long and one short, and meet the code, so there will naturally be someone to answer."

"What code?"

"I don't know!"

The two captured Zhao Laoqi back to the Six Doors and handed them over to Zhang Laotou to watch, and instructed, "This person is one of the commanders of the Six Doors causing trouble, so you must take good care of it."

Zhang Laotou looked at the bloody package, "Have you two gone to commit an offense?"

Fan Xiaodao said: "Oh, I saw someone killing pigs in the afternoon. I was a little greedy for pig head meat, so I bought a pig head. Why don't you give it to Brother Zhang to improve the food for your brothers?"

Zhang Laotuo felt so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly, "Forget it, forget it."

After coming out of the six doors, the two went straight to Nanluoguxiang.

Nanluoguxiang is located in the southeast of the palace, with high in the middle and low in the north and south terrain, and is shaped like a Luoguoxiang. It is also called Luoguoxiang. It is located at the end of the palace. There are many wealthy mansions in the alley. People living here are either rich or noble.

There were soldiers patrolling the alley, and the guards were considered strict. It can be seen that Wang Bogao's house was here, so it was also a powerful person. After searching along the street for a while, they finally found the one-eyed stone lion's house.

Go forward and hold the door, three long and one short.

Someone in the door asked, "Who?"

Fan Xiaodao whispered: "Come and report."

"signal?"

Fan Xiaodao said: "I don't know!"

With a creaking sound, the door opened.
