If the Water Margin

Chapter 164 Review

Ximenqing

Ximen Qing is more and more sure that something has happened to the martial arts family. It is now the afternoon of November 20. In the past two days, he has sent different people to the Guihua Building and the county government several times. He wanted to meet Wu Dalang and Wu Song, but failed. Since Wang An also participated in the action against Wu Song, it was natural for him to be responsible for some of these things, but Ximen Qing kept his mind. He did not tell Wang An about his stay in Wu Dalang to go to Rouge Lane on the afternoon of November 15. Ximen Qing always vaguely felt that this incident was In the end, the winner of the problem will be decided, and it can't be easily said.

What will happen to the martial arts family? Ximenqing thought about this matter over and over in the pharmacy. According to Wu Song's character and authority, there will never have been any reaction for so many days after Wu Da's death. Most importantly, it is now a critical period of recruitment. The county government office has lost a large number of officials and short of manpower when he married Qi Si. Now Wu Song has not appeared in the county government for a few days, which makes the county government even more headless. Even the county magistrate kept an elusive silence on these matters and did not come out to clean up the mess. Yanggu had a brief "incompetence" situation. Near the end of the year, the street was indeed peaceful and nothing happened. Therefore, if you don't pay attention to it, this kind of "incompetence" is not particularly obvious.

Something must have happened. The first thing that comes to Ximenqing's mind is money. There is only a large amount of money that can attract the attention of Wu Song and Wuda at the same time. The amount of money may exceed the 30,000 taels I received. They have now gone out of the city at night to get silver. But this is just a pure imaginary guess, without even a trace. Ximen Qing also understands that he can't think along this road, otherwise he will definitely go astray.

It seems that the first question you have to face when you want to fight with Wu Song is how to find Wu Song. Ximenqing also knew that things could not be delayed indefinitely. There were not many major fluctuations in the martial arts. He must seize this opportunity so that 30,000 taels of silver would not become his own funeral song.

When Ximenqing was at a loss, someone suddenly knocked on the door, and Ximenqing's heart suddenly tightened. But then, he found that the sound of knocking on the door was not very rapid and polite, and his nervousness slowly eased: "Who is it?"

"My boss, it's me." Wang An's voice came from outside.

Wang An can be said to be the most trusted person of Ximen Qing now. Ximen Qing increasingly feels that Wang An has a way to do things that can be trusted. Of course, Ximen Qing has no other choice.

"Come in." Ximenqing did a good job on the chair. He needs to maintain the image that a leader should have, which can also give him enough confidence. Of course, Ximen Qing also knew that Wang An should have found something when he came at this time, otherwise he would not have rushed to the back hall without a summons, which is not in line with Wang An's style of doing things.

After being affirmed, Wang An opened the door of the inner hall, and the wooden door creaked, and Wang An came in. Wang An entered the door quickly, like a cat shutting through the cracks. This inadvertent action also brought Ximen Qing a little excitement. Did Wang An find anything important?

"sit." Ximenqing pointed to the stool next to him. He wanted to give Wang An a hint that even the seat was given by Ximenqing, so he must remember that he was his owner and his master.

Wang An hurriedly sat down. Only half of his buttocks were on the chair, and his whole body leaned forward, and his face was full of impatience.

"What's the matter with you coming here? What have you found?" Ximenqing's attitude seems very ordinary. Wang An's excited appearance is likely to bring only the news that he thinks is important. After all, Wang An's understanding of the matter is far less than herself, so the seemingly important news is not necessarily really important. Ximenqing desperately suppressed his somewhat turbulent heart. He would rather be surprised suddenly than be disappointed after long-term hope.

"The owner, big news, big news. It's about Wuhan University. When Wang An spoke, his eyes were wide, as if the corners of his eyes were about to be cracked, which made his black eyeballs look very small in his whole eyes. Such a face looked a little scary. Coupled with the tone of his voice, Ximenqing immediately remembered the living corpses in the fourteen nights, and their eyes were the same. Of.

"If you have something to say, don't hesitate." Ximenqing urged. In fact, Wang An didn't procrastinate, but Ximen Qing really didn't want to continue to see Wang An's expression. Did you see Wu Da on the street? Ximenqing is actually very eager to know the news about Wuhan University. If Wang An sees Wuhan University on the street, it means that Wuhan University has escaped the fire of Mochou Hall. Wu University is not dead, and Wu Song will not be angry with himself. If you want to deal with Wu Song, you should take the initiative.

"No, boss, I didn't see Wuda." Wang An stopped talking for a moment.

Wang An's pause was intentional. Ximen Qing realized this, and Wang An must have found something wrong in his question just now. Thinking about it, now my main goal is to deal with Wu Song. Wu Da is indeed a very unimportant factor. He is a dwarf. Even if he is strong and can fight a little better than ordinary people, it is not difficult to deal with. All the forces of Wuda are attached to Wu Song's existence, and there is really no significance to deal with it alone. Previously, I asked Wang An to go to Guihua Building to inquire about the whereabouts of Wu Da, but at that time, it was the reason to join the army. Now that he wants to fight against Wu Song, those who do not join the army must be put aside for the time being. Now Wang An suddenly throws out the news of Wu Da. This purpose is worth considering. Although he is careful, he I still asked what I shouldn't have asked just now. With Wang An's shrewdness, I'm afraid he found something.

However, Ximen Qing understood that even if Wang An found something, he could not know the specific inside story of the matter. He knew that on the afternoon of November 15, few people went to the Mochou Hall with Wuhan University, and some of them died in flames. How can it be so easy to understand? Now all you have to do is pretend that nothing has happened.

Ximen Qing did not move, but looked at Wang An plainly, not even saying anything, and had no superfluous expression. It's like waiting for Wang An to talk about today's accounts. This expression will definitely give Wang An some hints, and Ximen Qing is sure of this.

After two or three blinks, Wang An continued to say, "It's not that I saw Wu Da, nor did I see him today. On the night of November 15th, someone saw Wuda.

On the evening of November 15, I was no longer with Wu Da. That night, there were few guests in Rouge Lane, that is to say, it is unlikely that anyone saw Wu Da in Mochou Hall and Wu Da elsewhere on the night of the 15th, which seems to prove that Wu Da did not die in the sea of fire. Ximenqing's heart was up and down, but it was not revealed on the surface, but just nodded slightly: "Then what?"

"The person who saw him was two sedan chairs. That night, Wu Da took a sedan chair in the south of the city and returned to the Guihua Building. It was the building under the main door of the Guihua Building. The two sedan chairmen watched Wu Da walk in. Wang An said.

A stone fell to the ground in Ximenqing's heart, and Wuda returned to the Osmanthus Tower on the fifteenth night, that is to say, he was safe. What he had been worrying about for so many days has not happened. This feeling of the rest of his life after the disaster made Ximen Qing almost kneel down and thank the gods of the four directions. However, he dares not be careless. He must be sure that Wu Da is not dead.

"Can you be sure that the person the sedan saw is Wuhan University? How can you go to Guihualou for dinner with the money earned by the sedan chair? If you don't go to Guihualou for dinner, how can you know Wu Da's face? You know, the dwarf of Wuda is more beautiful than many normal people. Now in Yanggu, the dwarfs are all showing off their power. In order to give less money to the sedan chairman, or to deliberately set out, he specially chose the sedan chair at the front door of the Guihua Building. There are a lot of dwarfs in Yanggu, which is difficult to confirm. Ximen Qing said slowly, "Why did they identify it? Is the short man dressed in luxurious clothes?

"No." Wang An shook his head: "On the contrary, the dwarf is wearing clothes that ordinary people wear."

"That's strange. How can people like Wu Da wear their subordinate clothes?" Ximen Qing clearly remembers that when Wuda came here that day, he was dressed luxuriously. His relieved heart hung up again. If there was indeed a dwarf who took a sedan chair from the south of the city to the Osmanthus Tower on the evening of the 15th, his clothes did not match, it was probably a trap, waiting for him to step on it.

"Because the dwarf wrote behind him, saying that he was Wu Dalang." Wang An said with a straight face.

If it weren't for Wang An's expression and resolute tone, Ximen Qing would think that the person in front of him was talking and laughing with him. Write on the back? What an unreasonable fool's behavior. How can anyone do this? But on the other hand, if it's really a trap, it seems that it's too pretentious to write behind your back. Ximenqing had a desire to listen, so he casually asked, "What word?"

"There are eight words like white ash behind him, 'I'm Wuzhi, I just killed someone'." Wang An stopped word by word, and after saying that, he looked at Ximen Qing.

What? Killing people? Ximenqing felt a cold sweat on his body. Kill, kill, kill who? It is absolutely impossible for a normal person to write this behind his back. Whether that person is real Wuzhi or not, it must be something else wrote on his back. No matter who this person is, he must be Wu Song's opposite. Great, another ally appears. Of course, everything is still unclear. The most important thing is to confirm whether the short man is Wuzhi or not.

"Wang An." Ximenqing felt the meat on his face beating slightly, and the peaceful expression could no longer be maintained. You should send someone to the Osmanthus Building immediately. In any case, you have to find the man in the Osmanthus Building on the night of November 15th. You only need to prove one thing. It is very important that the person who came in wearing the clothes on the night of the 15th is Wu Zhi. Be sure to confirm this. If Wu Da does kill someone, it will be much easier to move to Wusong. Ximenqing's fingers knocked on the table uneasily, making a regular sound. It's better to confirm again that when the dwarf enters the door, there are no words on his back, and nothing can only listen to the words of the sedan chairmen.

Wang An stood up and said, "My boss, I'm going."

Ximen Qing couldn't sit still any longer. He wandered back and forth in the inner hall. Killing people? If the dwarf in his subordinate's clothes and words on his back is really Wu Da, the matter of killing will definitely not catch the wind and shadow. Even if Wu Da doesn't really kill people, at least it has a little to do with it. You know, there are indeed some bodies in Mochou Hall that have not been burned to death, and they all appear in a room, which is likely to be the room of Wuhan University. If so, Wu Da killed someone first, then burned the whole Mochou Hall, and then let others write on his back on the way back.

Although the basic order makes way, there are some doubts. First of all, Wu Da is a dwarf. How can he kill so many women alone? You should know that those bitches are not lambs to be slaughtered. Once they find that their lives are threatened, they will be more fierce than leopards. Wu Da left after I was convinced by **. When he got there, he must have done a lot of work first. With his body, he tossed with so many women. After that, he should have no strength to stand up. How could he kill and dismember the body?

In addition, the location of the sedan chair is wrong. Rouge Lane is in the southwest of Yanggu, while Wuhan University takes a sedan chair in the south of the city. Ximenqing is too familiar with the nearby terrain. Rouge Lane is a dead end if it goes directly to the east. If you want to turn to the south of the city, you must go out of the city and walk a long way in the wilderness. This is definitely not the best route. Even if Wu Da wants to transfer his audio-visual and walk a while to get on the sedan chair and let him separate from the matter of Rouge Lane, he should go directly to the north and then take the sedan chair from the west of the city, which is more reasonable on the journey.

The third is the word behind it. After killing, if Wu Da is really the one killed by Wu Da, he must have fled quickly, like a frightened bird. How could he be on the road and be written eight words behind his back without knowing it? Ximenqing himself, if he found that such words were written on his clothes, he would rather run back naked in three or nine days, and would never wear such clothes to swagger through the market, causing great trouble.

These three questions really don't make sense, but the servants' clothes are too easy to think of the blood stains on the clothes when Wu Da killed people, and then changed the clothes of Mochou Guan's servants. Unfortunately, I didn't see the dwarf. Mo Chouguan's clothes were too familiar to me. At a glance, I could distinguish them.

Ximenqing was walking when the door was pushed open, and a cold wind blew in, which made Ximenqing tremble. He looked up and saw Wang An trotting in head-on. Wang An's temples were stained with sweat, and it could be seen that he ran back.

"How's it going? Has the news been confirmed?" Ximenqing could not care whether this anxious inquiry would make Wang An suspicious. Anyway, the suspicion had arisen, so he didn't care about it.

Wang An nodded: "My boss, it's confirmed. I spent 20 taels of silver to confirm what happened on the fifteenth night with four guys. On the night of the 15th, there were almost no guests in the Osmanthus Building, which was confirmed by the four guys. Three guys saw Wu Da wearing his servant's clothes and coming in from the main door of Guihua Building, one of them..." Wang An took a deep breath: "One saw the words behind him when Wu Da went upstairs. However, the guy didn't see too clearly. He only saw the four words 'I'm Wuzhi'. He told me that he also told Wu Da about the words behind him. Wu Da just said a very ordinary 'um' and went back to his room.

Ximenqing rubbed his hands excitedly: "When you went, Wu Da didn't appear yet, did you?"

"Yes, the matter of Guihua Building is now presided over by their account room Liu Lin. Wu Da has never appeared since that night. Wang An said affirmatively.

Wu Da fled. Ximen Qing confirmed this point. Mo Chouguan's murder must have something to do with him. He fled in order to avoid disaster. Hahaha, Wu Da, Wu Da, you majestic dwarf, also know that you are afraid! What about Wu Song? Why didn't Wu Song see you? I understand. It must be to cover up his brother and deal with the afterthought. You two brothers are in collusion, and I will definitely announce this to the public, let your despicable behavior go down in broad daylight, and make Wu Song, you, a superior hero, lose your reputation. Hahaha. Ximenqing's heart was overjoyed.

It's just that it's a matter of great importance and can't rely on speculation. We must talk about evidence. The on-site processing of Mochou Hall is the responsibility of the county government, in other words, Wu Song is responsible. Since Wu Song can disappear at the critical moment of recruitment in order to shield his brother, the evidence at the scene must have been destroyed. But it doesn't matter. Since Wu Da was written behind him, that is to say, there must be witnesses for his behavior. This human figure and ghost must be a master. It is not so easy to be controlled by Wu Song. I must find this certificate.

And... Ximen Qing thought about it. Wu Da got on a sedan chair from the south of the city and had to leave the city from Rouge Lane to the south of the city. Why did he go out of the city? This is very important. Did you discard any murder weapon? If so, it is necessary to go out of the city to search in detail, and there may be some special gains.

Go out of Rouge Lane, go out of the city, and then enter the city from the south of the city. Ximenqing imagined the road map in his mind. If he remember correctly, there should be a small forest nearby, which is a good place to discard things.

It's not too late. If it's too late, it will change. You have to go and have a look now. Ximenqing clenched his fist.
