Chapter 11 Purple Stone Street

Wu Song was shocked when he heard this and broke out in a cold sweat. There is no need for the county magistrate to be vague on this issue, that is to say, he did not invite his brother to dinner. Where did the big man go? Wu Song's brain is running fast. The sister-in-law said that the elder brother was sent by the county magistrate to pick him up. It must have been an official at that time. The elder brother could not ride a horse, and the county magistrate did not let the comeer walk, that is, he carried away with a sedan chair.

Pretend to be an official, carry a sedan chair and come to pick up Wu Dalang. The brother must be very dangerous at this time. What is the purpose of the person who robbed his brother?

Wu Song's mind was focused on thinking about his brother's affairs, and the table seemed a little dull at the table. The county magistrate asked several questions, but if Wu Song hadn't heard it, he wouldn't have answered.

"Wu Song, I think you are too tired, and I also blame you for calling you so late. Go back and have a rest." The county magistrate said and waved his hand.

"Thank you, the little man is indeed a little tired." Wu Song stood up and bowed to the floor: "Your Excellency, the villain has said goodbye." With that, he went downstairs.

Out of the restaurant, Wu Song turned over and thought about what he should do next.

Anyway, go back to Zishi Street first. Maybe it's just a joke between an acquaintance and his brother. Dalang has now returned home full of wine and food. After made up his mind, Wu Song rushed to Zishi Street. At this time, Wu Song was anxious and didn't care that his brother might reason at home. The sound of the horseshoe hitting on the slate street was really beautiful.

Zishi Street arrived in an instant. Wu Song was no longer polite at this time. After disenging from the horse, he came to knock on the door. It's not so much a knock as a smash. After a few hits, Pan Jinlian's voice came from inside.

"Who is it?" The sound was a little lazy, as if it had fallen asleep. Wu Song was indifferent when he heard his sister-in-law's voice. His brother may have come back. I'm afraid I'll have a lot of trouble again if I'm so reckless.

"sister-in-law, it's me." Wu Song replied in a hurry.

"Oh, it's my uncle. Wait a moment. I'll put on my clothes and open the door for my uncle."

After a while, Pan Jinlian opened the door. Wu Song saw that although Pan Jinlian had been dressed, her hair was scattered. Obviously, she had fallen asleep and had just got up. After a glance, he immediately turned to other places.

"Where's Dalang?" Pan Jinlian saw that there was no one else behind Wu Song.

Wu Song's mind moved, and it seemed that his brother had not come back. Wu Song intended to tell the truth, but on second thought, Pan Jinlian was just a woman with a shallow mind. Now I tell her that her brother was not invited by the county magistrate. She must be extremely anxious and has no benefit. There are many troubles. It's better to lie and comfort her first.

"Oh, my sister-in-law doesn't know anything. When I went to work just now, I learned that the county magistrate was inviting my brother to drink in Guihualou. I can't go because of my official business. I thought my brother had come back. I haven't met my brother since I came back. I want to meet him first and then go back to the county office to rest. Wu Song thought for a little and said these words. If you see your brother and there is no reason to come back alone, simply say that you didn't see him at all, which can also explain why you still came to Zishi Street.

"Your brother hasn't come back yet, and I don't know where he is going. Maybe I have money recently. Let's go somewhere to have a good time. Pan Jinlian said indifferently.

Wu Song was a little unhappy when he heard her say this: "My brother is not that kind of person. Maybe he is a little drunk. The county magistrate will stay with his brother and come back tomorrow. Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense."

"Isn't that kind of person? Since seeing you this time, your brother has said a lot about your fault. This is not right and that is wrong. You, a hero who fights tigers, is not as good as that three-year-old child in his mouth.

"The eldest brother's father, I was raised by my brother, and I can say whatever I want." Wu Song said calmly, "Since my brother is not here, I will leave first." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

As soon as Wu Song took half a step, he suddenly felt that his clothes had been pulled. Looking back, it was Pan Jinlian.

"Your brother is not at home tonight, and I am very scared alone. Uncle, can you not leave tonight? I can sleep peacefully. When Pan Jinlian said these words, she looked a little shy.

Wu Song wanted to leave directly, but when he thought about it, what Pan Jinlian said was also very reasonable. His brother's whereabouts were unknown, and his sister-in-law was likely to be the next target of the other party. It is indeed inappropriate to leave my sister-in-law at home. Now that it's night, there will be no good results in the investigation under such circumstances. The person who robs his brother must have a plan. Before he achieves his goal, his life should not be in danger for the time being. In addition, the body is really tired. At this level, I'm afraid there will be no way until dawn. It seems that I should wait a night to refresh my spirits and talk about it tomorrow morning. Just stay here, lonely men and women, a little unruly. But the urgency of the situation does not take much into account.

"Then rely on your sister-in-law. I can sleep downstairs, and my sister-in-law can sleep peacefully. Even if there is any danger, Wu Er will definitely be thorough with each other.

Pan Jinlian seemed to want to say something, but she stopped talking and sighed gently.

"Then uncle should rest early. The slave family went upstairs." After saying that, he gently moved the shadow and turned upstairs.

After watching Pan Jinlian go upstairs, Wu Song looked for a long bed with no bedding and lay down with his clothes. Lying down, I have a lot of thoughts, but I can't imagine what the significance of robbing Wu Dalang is. His brother is just a pancake seller. Although everyone is optimistic about this pancake now, it is still a small business compared with other big businesses in Yanggu County. With his own brother, ordinary people will not want to move his idea. It is really puzzling to steal money and deal with a dwarf with such a small amount of money. Is it against me?

Wu Song was shocked and thought along this line. Since escaping from Qinghe County, I have wandered around the world in the past two years. Before fighting tigers, I have indeed experienced many precarious days and offended many people. If these people learn that they have been the capital in Yanggu County, they have come to seek revenge. It makes me realize that I went out to work, took the big man, and forced myself to submit. If so, you should be able to receive a notice from the other party soon. At that time, no matter how dangerous it is, Wu Song must protect his brother with his life.

The next day, when Wu Song woke up, Pan Jinlian had been up for a long time. Cooking breakfast and dealing with some trivial things about pancakes. The guys also came to help with the work. They said that Wu Dalang was not here, but the pancake stall could still be set up. Even if Dalang is here, he won't do it himself now, but just stands in front of the stall as a cover. When people look at the figure of the dwarf, they know that this is Wu Dalang pancake. In fact, I'm afraid that there is no need to do it now. Some people have found a few dwarfs from the surrounding state capital. There are more dwarfs on this pancake stall, so people don't care about who is Wuda. Anyway, as long as you know, this is the pancake you ate every day when you were a teenager. If you eat it, you can beat tigers it.

"Uncle is awake." Pan Jinlian came over with beautiful eyebrows.

"My sister-in-law laughed." Wu Song turned over. The night's rest really made me recover a lot, and now I am full of strength.

"Uncle, let's have dinner together. Breakfast is very simple, not as good as the official meal of the county government office. Don't be surprised."

"Where is it, my sister-in-law is modest." Wu Song simply washed up and had a few mouthfuls of breakfast. While eating, I was also thinking about today's investigation route.

Wu Song finished breakfast and said goodbye to Pan Jinlian.

"You don't have to urge Dalang to come back. If he thinks the official is good, he will stay for a few more days. Anyway, in the world of flowers, he has long forgotten my bad wife.

"Don't talk nonsense, sister-in-law." Wu Song really couldn't find anything else to say over and over again.

Wu Er rode to the street and thought about it. You don't have to go to the county government office first. After all, I just came back from work, and the handover was done last night. The three officials will do the specific things well. I'm afraid it's more detailed than me. You can't go to the county government today. Find clues by yourself first. Of course, it's best to find your brother. Even if you can't find some clues, I won't be completely passive when the murderer sends me an ultimatum. After made up his mind, Wu Song began to try to restore what happened yesterday evening.

My brother is a dwarf. According to his height, sitting in a sedan chair must not be able to see things outside through the window. Coupled with the inconvenience of my brother's mobility, he is not very familiar with Yanggu's road. In addition, I am the head, and my brother's characteristics are so obvious. Up to now, no one has told me what my brother did to ask for help yesterday. It seems that the robber may have cheated his brother into a sedan chair and carried him to the place of detention without his brother's knowledge. So if you ask the merchants on the road, there should be no result.

Although my brother doesn't know the way, he also knows the general direction of the county government. Therefore, the direction of the sedan chair must be going to the county government, that is, along Zishi Street to the north. Thinking of this, Wu Song urged the horse to go north slowly. There are not many north intersections on Zishi Street, and after a while, a crossroad appeared. At this time, it is unlikely to continue to go north. If you go further north, you will really reach the county government. There is no need to do so. My brother bumped all the way on the sedan chair. I'm afraid that there is no sense of direction when I lift it here, and the novelty of sitting in the sedan chair has faded. It is a good choice to start to deviate from the road. Unfortunately, there are quite a lot of sedan chairs on the street in Yanggu County, and it happened again yesterday. I'm afraid that no vendors and pedestrians will remember to turn left.

Wu Song stopped his horse on the cross street and looked around. Suddenly, I had an idea. As the name implies, this purple stone street is paved with purple stone slabs, and horses jingle on it. Even people walk on it have a unique sound. The slate on the east side of this intersection is badly damaged, and all the slate has been removed and renovated next year, while the west side is still relatively intact. If my brother can't see the outside, he is bound to be very ** to the sound. He can stay in the sedan chair relatively well without resistance. There is no obvious change in his voice, so he must go to the west.

Wu Song thought of this and did not hesitate, so he turned his horse to the west.
