Chapter 165 Confirmed Fantasy

"Wang An, find two reliable guys and go out with me." Ximen Qing dares not go out of the city by himself. What he is investigating now can be said to be a murder case. Who knows what can be found in the woods? It's better to bring a few more people.

Wang An stood still and showed a hesitant look: "Dear owner, the villain risked his life to work with you. Can you tell me what's going on with Wuda? I found that you pay special attention to the matter of Wu Da. On the afternoon of the 15th, Wu Da came to the pharmacy to find you, and then you went out with him for a while, and then returned. This matter is not a secret in the pharmacy. Moreover, when I was checking some medicinal materials, some guys told me that when Wuhan University came over that day, you were ** in his tea. After **, according to reason, you must have gone to find the girl. The only place where you can quickly find the girl is Rouge Lane. In fact, if you don't say these things, I can also guess a general idea. The villain just wants to say that since we have been tied together and share honor and disgrace, I hope that the owner can explain the matter clearly to the villain, so that when it is not convenient for the villain to report to the owner, he also knows how to deal with it, so as not to be different from your original intention.

Ximenqing patted his head. Alas, he blamed himself for not handling things at that time. Yes, he gave it to Wu Da** in the pharmacy. This matter was not a secret among the guys at all. In this case, he lied to Wang An that he was going out to talk about recruitment that afternoon. How could Wang An believe it? However, Wang An still can't be told about this, and no one can be trusted. Ximen Qing clenched his teeth secretly.

"Wang An, in fact, you think too much. I did give ** to Wu Da that day, and I won't hide it from you. The purpose of his coming that afternoon was to help me find a girl. In fact, as soon as he entered the door, I found that everything under his trousers stood up. I have always been at peace with the Wu family, and the next ** is all to make trouble for him. I went out to Xijiang Tea House with him to talk about the conscription. Our ** is awesome. It's not that you don't know. After a while, he couldn't hold on, so he agreed randomly. Of course, he probably went to find the girl by himself after the incident. Ximen Qingxin made up. Anyway, as long as he hides the key point of sending Wu University to Mochou Hall, it doesn't matter if he tells Wang An anything else.

"Oh, so that's it. I said, after the fire in Rouge Lane, the owner seemed to be particularly concerned about the safety of Wuda. Are you afraid that he did not return to the Osmanthus Tower at night because of our ** and died in the sea of fire, which would cause Wu Song's revenge. After all, the last time, the shopkeeper made that dummy ginseng, which made your relationship with Wu Song very bad. Wang An nodded gently. I'm going out to call someone. Just change your clothes and come out." After saying that, Wang An turned around and was about to leave the back hall.

"Wait." Ximen Qing stopped Wang An: "Among the guys, call Li Qiang. He also knows that there are more things. Let's not make things all over the city. The fewer people know, the better, so let's use these people first.

"I know." Wang An finished speaking and left the back hall.

Ximenqing actually has his own considerations. He feels that there is something wrong with Li Qiang, so he needs to increase his contact with Li Qiang and further find flaws in the contact. Although Li Qiang said that she had a thousand links with the woman, the woman gave her money. As long as she could always fight against Wu Song, she would not embarras herself. With Li Qiang, she may have one more amulet in times of crisis. It is beneficial and harmless. It is best to take him.

Ximenqing thought for a while, then put on his coat and came to the front hall. Wang An was already waiting there. There was also a man beside him. This person was not Li Qiang, and Ximen Qing couldn't call his name.

"Where's Li Qiang?" Ximenqing frowned. Besides, if he brought a clerk, there would be not enough manpower. Did Li Qiang find any reason to slip away when he was not in the store?

"Oh, no, that's what the owner is like. If we want to go out of the city, no matter where we go, the road is relatively far away. Hiking is not allowed, and it's too slow to take a sedan chair. There are only two horses in our pharmacy, which is not enough for the four of us to ride, so I asked Li Qiang to go out and rent two horses, so that we can go back quickly. Wang An explained.

It's true. Although he didn't tell Wang An that he was going to go to the south of the city, even if he went to the nearest west of the city, it was indeed a little far away by hiking. Horseback riding was indeed the best choice. Wang An was considerate, and he didn't think about this problem at all. It's lucky to have such a deputy.

"Is it far to rent horses?" Ximenqing really doesn't know much about such things.

"Oh, I'm afraid you'll wait for a long time, so I asked Li Qiang to go to a nearby shop to rent a horse. I'll be back soon. Just wait a moment." Wang An said hurriedly.

It's good that Ximen Qing's heart is very restless. At this moment, he has recovered. Ximen Qing is not worried about Li Qiang's running away. As long as Li Qiang leaves Ximen Pharmacy, he will lose his original meaning. He will definitely stay here. However, since you need to wait, sit down and wait. Ximen Qing randomly pulled a chair and prepared to sit down.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Ximenqing's buttocks stuck to the chair, Li Qiang came in. Ximenqing was very embarrassed. He didn't know whether to stand up or sit down. In this moment when he was a little stunned, his eyes just saw Li Qiang's face. I don't know why Ximen Qing's inexplicable feeling is a little wrong, but he can't say what's wrong. Maybe it's just that I don't pay much attention to people's faces at ordinary times. Only today's inactive action can I lose my eyes and observe them deliberately. Ximenqing took another look and found that there was really no problem, and then comforted himself.

"The owner, Ma has rented it." Li Qiang did not tell Wang An, but directly replied to Ximen Qing. This is also a compliance. After all, Ximen Qing is more noble than Wang An.

"Then let's go immediately." Ximenqing ended the movement and walked out of the door.

The horse rented by Li Qiang is tied to the door. It is really fat and healthy. Compared with it, his horse looks a little thin. Ximen Qing is very uncomfortable looking at it. I think he is focusing on other things these days, and the man is not even very careful to feed the horse. It was also a few days ago that the money was relatively close, and the balance was needed, and there must be no less deduction in the forage. Now that I'm rich, I'll tell my buddy when I get back. I have to feed the horses well and feed them like this.

Ximenqing has the intention to rent a horse. After all, the owner's largest horse is more beautiful, but after thinking about it, it is indeed a little too much prestige for others, which is not good for other people. So after a little hesitation, he turned over his horse. Wang An followed closely and got on the horse of Ximen Pharmacy, while the two guys had no choice but to ride the rest of the mounts.

"Son, where shall we get out of the city?" It was not until this time that Wang An asked this question. However, Ximenqing clearly saw that Wang An's horse's head was like the east, which made it clear that he was going to drive along West Street and towards Cross Street. If he wanted to go out from the west of the city, the direction of the horse's head must not be like this. It seems that Wang An is smarter than he thought. There are some things that he has already thought of. Thinking about it, Wu Dalang is a sedan chair in the south of the city. The topics discussed today are all about Wu Dalang, so now it seems logical that he is going to the south of the city.

Alas, I want to keep secrets everywhere, but I want to cover them everywhere. Ximenqing was a little frustrated, but he had to answer Wang An's question: "Go to the south of the city. I remember there was a forest there, so let's go there.

Along the way, Ximenqing deliberately avoided talking. He always felt that if Li Qiang really had a problem, he would try his best to understand the situation, and this silence would block the news. The conversation initiated by Li Qiang will be the time when he is most likely to expose his flaws.

But this silence did not bring the result that Ximen Qing wanted. Accompanying the journey of the four people, only the wind blowing through their ears and the jingling rhythm of the horse's hoofs stepping on the stone.

After more than half an hour, the four of them came out of Yanggu County. Their vision was suddenly bright. To the east is a flat land, and to the west is a small forest. Now it is winter. This kind of scenery seems to be less vivid as imagined, but a little more bleak.

The woods are in the west, which is exactly in line with Wu Dalang's route. It seems that there is a great possibility of something hidden there. I hope the master can leave guidance for himself and bring down the mountain of Wu Song. Ximenqing thought to himself and urged the horse to rush to the woods.

I walked more than a hundred steps towards the woods. The ground is no longer flat, and there are many rocks. Horses are easy to hurt horses' hoofs when they move here. Moreover, walking in such road conditions is not much slower than riding a horse. So Ximen Qing turned over and got off the horse and tied the horse to the tree next to him. The other three also followed suit.

"You, look at the horses here and don't walk around." Ximenqing said to the unnamed man.

"Don't worry, owner." The man immediately stopped and stood where he was, with a rather vowed tone. When the pharmacy shopkeeper was still alive, Ximen Qing had never heard anyone talk to him like this, which made him very satisfied.

The remaining three people continued to walk. It is said that the trees here are not very dense, especially in winter when there are no leaves, which are even more sparse, and there is not much shade on the sight. Ximenqing carefully checked each tree as he walked, hoping to find clues about Wuda.

"Let's look for it separately, so fast, but don't go too far. Just keep it within the range where you can hear the shouting. If you find anything, call others to go there immediately." Ximenqing did not wander outside the city for too long. On the one hand, the days are short in winter, and it won't take long to get dark. On the other hand, he suddenly felt that if someone wanted to kill himself now, he would really evaporate silently. Except for leaving a little laughter and talk to the streets and alleys, no one would be able to prove that he had lived.

"Master, what are you looking for?" This question is Li Qiang. But obviously, there is nothing wrong with this problem. Ximen Qing only asked them to look for something, but he didn't say anything. At the same time, Wang An also looked at Ximenqing, and it was obvious that he also wanted to know about this problem.

What are you looking for? Ximenqing didn't know that he came here completely to look for clues. As for what the clues were, he didn't even know what could be called clues. Ximenqing was a little annoyed. He seemed to know more about women in the first half of his life, and he knew almost nothing about other aspects.

"I don't know what to look for. Just take a closer look around and don't let go of anything strange. For example..." The range of strange things is too wide, and Ximen Qing also felt that his speech was inappropriate. Wang An wanted to carry a three-legged toad over. He really couldn't get angry, so he must have a direction or something. For example, daggers, knives, blood clothes and so on, anyway, they may have something to do with the murder case, do you understand?

"I see." Wang An and Li Qiang nodded together. Ximen Qing specially pay attention to the expressions of the two people when they answered. Wang An's face was full of "natural" and Li Qiang's face was full of "excitement". This is in line with the consistent style of the two people, and there is no flaw.

After saying that, the two left Ximenqing and walked in different directions. Ximenqing also turned his head and walked to the depths of the woods. He paid special attention to the tree under each tree, because Ximen Qing felt that if a person discarded something in the woods, he would habitually throw it down the tree, which should be a more reasonable subconscious action.

The trees in this forest are very hard. Ximenqing wanted to break a branch to make it easier for him to search the ground, but he experimented and found that it was very difficult. Finally, after several twistss, he struggled to break a somewhat slender branch. It seems that thicker branches can be used to kill people. This idea suddenly came to Ximenqing's mind, and the birth of this idea also made him a little excited. Yes, killing people does not have to use a knife or something. A hard branch can do this.

If Wu Da came to fold... Ximen Qing imagined himself as Wu Da. If Wu Da came to find the murder weapon, he would fold a very thick branch. However, he is not so tall, so he should choose some lower ones. Ximenqing lowered his eyes and wanted to find some clues, but he then found that there were many incisions on the tree branches here. These incisions looked old and looked like a masterpiece of a woodblower, and Ximen Qing found that there were many branches falling on the ground in the woods, and the more they walked into the forest. The branches can be seen more and more everywhere, and the hard branches like daggers also appear, and Wu Da can pick up one at will.

Ximenqing felt very frustrated. He picked up such a "short sword" while walking on the ground. At this time, he already had some doubts about the correctness of coming to this forest, especially waiting for Wang An and Li Qiang very blindly. It is likely that they just let them see their jokes. Already. Such a large number of fruitless activities is bound to make Wang An doubt Ximen Qing. Wang An can completely swallow 30,000 taels of silver and empty Ximen Qing.

These thoughts made Ximen Qing more irritable. He shook his head and forced himself to give up these annoying years. At the same time, he danced the branches in his hand more vigorously. With this action, he also added strength on his feet. Anyway, there are no stones in the woods, as long as he doesn't kick the tree. Those branches will not hurt the feet in cotton boots. These stretching movements made Ximenqing feel better. He extremely enjoyed this kind of "sOLO dance" that would not be seen by others, and the movements were more indulgent until he felt that he had kicked something.

This thing felt like being kicked away by Ximen Qing. It was not big, and it didn't seem to be wood. When I kicked it, I didn't see it clearly, but it was a flower in front of me. Wood comes out of the wood, what else will be? He tightened all over and immediately began to look in the direction of kicking out.

Soon, he found what he had just kicked, which was a scabbard, to be precise, the scabbard of a short knife. Since there is a scabbard, what about the knife? The scabbard is extremely exquisite. Under the rubbing of fingers, the leather lines stir up Ximen Qing's nerves like the skin of a young girl.

If the scabbard falls to the ground and there is no other reason, it should not move its position, that is to say... Ximen Qing held the scabbard and retreated to the place where he had just kicked it. This is under a tree with a rather tall tree. Ximen Qing looked around and wanted to find the one that had only existed before. The clues in the elephant.

No, nothing. If I had a knife, what could I do in this woods except kill people? It seems more rewarding to put yourself in such a place. A knife can cut things in addition to killing people, but it is definitely not appropriate to use such a knife to cut branches, not as powerful as an axe. Wait, you don't have to cut the branches. I can cut the trunk. If you cut the trunk continuously, it is... engraving!

Ximenqing suddenly turned his head and searched carefully on the trunk of the tree next to him. Finally, after a careful search, some handwriting was found by Ximen Qing. However, the handwriting does not seem to be engraved by a sharp knife. It is not as clear as it is. It is like a blunt instrument scratched randomly, and it seems to be messy, as if the writer is a little busy.

"Wu Zhi killed someone." These words can be clearly identified, and the following strokes are too messy. No matter how Ximenqing recognizes them, it is useless.

However, that's enough. Ximen Qing clenched the scabbard in his hand. Up to now, things have finally been pushed forward reasonably, and clues have appeared. Moreover, this word once again proves that Wu Dalang has been here, and there is a person who Wu Da doesn't know, secretly monitoring Wu Da.
