The capital, Wushang Shufu.
Five or six men in strong suits knelt at the feet of Wu Shangshu, and the first one said: "Tell your lord, this time I will wait for a line, and the success will be successful." Please punish you! ”
Wu Shangshu sat on the Taishi's chair with a stern expression. said: "The news is exact, why did it fail?" ”
The leader replied, "The things that your lord needs are neither in the stolen silver escorted by the Yongzhou prefect, nor in the prefect's mansion. Even in the Jia Sima Mansion where the prefect went to get the stolen silver that day, the villain had quietly searched and never seen it. However, the villain brought back one person this time, and she was also looking for what the adults said. ”
Oh? When Wu Shangshu heard this, he was quite surprised. He said, "Who is it?" Where is it now? ”
At this moment, who is locked in the secret room on the adult's house, who is it, the villain does not dare to ask, please interrogate the adult himself. But....But the villain made a small mistake. ”
Wu Shangshu heard him say that he had made a small mistake, so he didn't care, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and asked slowly: "The villain, the villain, accidentally stabbed the Yongzhou prefect to death!" ”
only heard the sound of "dangchang", Wu Shangshu was startled, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground and fell to pieces. stood up and lowered his voice and said in a stern tone: "You actually stabbed to death the dignified prefect and the imperial court official? What the hell is going on? ”
That night, the villain was ordered by the adult to search the prefect's house, but found nothing. Just as he was about to return, he suddenly saw a woman also searching for something. This person's behavior is quite peculiar, he obviously carries a lantern in his hand, but he puts the lantern behind him, but he does not have any eyesight affected by passing through the pavilion, such as in the daytime.
The villain was curious, so he quietly followed her. Later, I guess there was no gain, and I came to a room. As she blew out the lantern, I dodged into the room before she did, and hid in the dark. Unexpectedly, there were already people in the room, and after listening to their conversation, I learned that the person who was in the room earlier turned out to be the prefect, and this woman was his newly married second room.
The woman entered the room and bolted the door, only to see that her eyes would glow on their own, no wonder she had put the lantern behind her. I think she carried the lantern to hide the peculiarity of her eyes being able to see at night.
I saw her slowly walking to the bedside, her eyes shining like fireflies on a summer night. As soon as she came to the bedside, she immediately restrained the prefect and asked the whereabouts of the thing you were looking for.
The prefect was choked by his neck, and under continuous questioning, he intermittently said the words 'at home, at home', and then fainted. Xindao took down this woman first, and then slowly took care of the prefect. The adults once warned the villains that the less people know about this matter, the better, otherwise the villain would have already attacked the prefect.
When the villain was about to capture the woman, he didn't want to be difficult to see in the dark, so he accidentally kicked the elbow of the woman's sword-holding hand, and the sharp weapon in the woman's hand pierced the prefect's neck, killing that...Stab the prefect to death.
I was startled and knocked the woman unconscious. Since this person is also pursuing that thing, he can't kill her, he must bring her back to the adult, and it is unknown if he can find clues on her. When he picked her up, he was about to come out of the wall. Suddenly, a person flashed out, only to hear him say: 'You flower thief, put the second lady down quickly, otherwise.'The villain can still wait for him to finish speaking, and then bully him close and finish him with a punch. Thanks to the Wen Nine brothers being outside, it would not be easy to get the two of them out.
After Brother Wen and I came out, we immediately joined up with the brothers who were searching elsewhere, and after discussion, we left the city overnight. He found a secluded place to bury the corpse, tied up the woman, put her in the carriage, and hurried back to the capital without stopping. The villain is guilty and begs the adults to be considerate. ”
After listening to this, Wu Shangshu felt that although it was not child's play to stab the prefect to death, firstly, he did not leave any traces, and secondly, this person had followed him for many years and was capable and effective. And to do such a big thing, Baimi always has a mistake, and he has the heart to cover up the past for him. He nodded at the moment, but said with a more stern look on his face: "Did you make a mistake?" This is a mortal sin! The three tribes all deserve it. Such sins, come to Wenjun, you say, how should I deal with them? ”
I saw Lai Wenjun kneeling on the ground, took a few steps back, and said, "Since the adult is embarrassed, the villain will apologize with death!" With that, he pulled out the long knife hanging from his waist and wiped it off his neck. only heard the sound of "click", and a person kneeling behind Lai Wenjun quickly and incoherently ripped off the waist knife, blocking the knife that Wenjun killed himself. The knife had not yet come out of the sheath, and was cut out of the scabbard by Lai Wenjun's knife momentum, and when Lai Wenjun turned his head to look, the person who blocked him from killing himself was Wen Jiu!
Wu Shangshu saw that he had such a strong temperament, and when he pulled out a knife and committed suicide just now, he suddenly regretted it very much. At this time, seeing that Wen Jiu had already rescued him, he immediately said angrily: "Lai Wenjun, you are so bold!" Are you trying to threaten me with death? Do you just say that as soon as you die, I need to cover your guilt for you? You despise yourself so much, why did I bother to save you back then? Let the flood take your life, lest you have this day....I mourn you today. ”
When Lai Wenjun saw Wu Shangshu mentioning the past, he regretted his recklessness just now. Immediately knelt down and said, "My lord, my cheap life was originally picked up by my lord." Although this cheap life is not valuable, it belongs to adults. From now on, villain....Villain....”
Wu Shangshu said: "Very good, very good. Lai Wenjun, it's rare for you to have this insight. From this moment on, if I hadn't let you die, the bull head and horse face and the ten halls of Yama would have come, and you wouldn't have died! ”
Wen Jun obeys! ”
From now on, you will go to Penglai Cave for three months. ”
Be! One of Lai Wenjun's companions suddenly said: "My lord, that Penglai Cave is dark, mosquitoes and flies are like thunder, ordinary people will go crazy even if they stay for seven days or eight days." If so, let....”
Hum! Wu Shangshu suddenly looked fierce. The man was too frightened to speak.
Wu Shangshu turned around, faced everyone, and said with a pleasant face: "You have worked hard, each person will receive a hundred taels of silver, and the right to pay for hard work." Wen Jiu saved a dog's life just now, and this dog's life was originally worthless. But I still want to reward Wen with another nine hundred taels to reward him for his courage and righteousness towards his companions. Then he opened a chest on the table and ordered everyone to take the silver.
When everyone retreated, a person turned out from behind the screen, saw Wu Shangshu, and said: "Congratulations, my lord, the woman who came to Wenjun to bring back, if she is not mistaken, must be from my clan, that is, from the spirit dog clan." ”
Wu Shangshu said: "How did you know? ”
The man said, "Before the Spiritual Dog Scepter disappeared, every year after the age of twelve, the patriarch of my Greyhound clan would open the cave and enter the cave to drink the water, and after drinking it, they would have the ability to see at night. Later, the scepter was lost, and he couldn't enter the cave, and with it, his night vision was lost. However, there are still a very small number of people who actually inherit night vision. So to this day, there are still some people in our people whose eyes can shine in the dark night, and see the night as day. Although those who can see at night may not be the spirit dog people, but those who can see at night and are exploring the spirit dog scepter must be the spirit dog people. ”
Wu Shangshu said: "Even if she is from your clan, and she doesn't have a scepter, what's the use?" ”
Your Excellency, you don't know, in order to recover the scepter, our clan sent a lot of people to run around. They have a point of contact in the capital. But....However, since they abandoned the darkness and followed the Lords, they have moved the point of contact away. If they don't find the scepter, once they find the scepter, they will definitely put the scepter in a very secret place, and then come to the capital to gather everyone together and escort the scepter to the clan. ”
Wu Shangshu said: "You have been removed from their list, so how can you find their contact point?" ”
Hehe, my lord, it's hard to say it, it's not hard to say it's not hard. After speaking, he bent down and muttered softly in Wu Shangshu's ear. After listening to this, Wu Shangshu had a look of unbearability. But thinking of his future, he nodded.
