Dafeng's Night Squad

249 The one who tied the bell must untie the bell (1)

It was a small two-story building with a combination of green bricks and wood, and the walls were old and worn.

The owner of the shop was a thin middle-aged man. His eyes were sharp as he observed the three caped men standing in front of his shop.

“Dear customers, would you like a few pounds of dog meat?” The shop owner asked.

“How much is the dog meat outside and how much is the dog meat inside?” song tingfeng replied in a hoarse voice.

When the shop owner heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face. He was an old whoremaster.

“The dog meat outside costs one pound of silver, and the meat inside costs three pounds of silver.”

This kind of private prostitute actually asked for three silver coins. To be honest, the price of abalone was not much cheaper than in the capital. Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao shook their heads repeatedly as they were both old punks in the industry.

Xu Qi ‘an didn’t think it was a big deal, because he had been at the top of the industry ever since he entered the industry. Even a Tea Party cost ten taels of silver, and three maces of silver was just a drizzle ... What? I was scamming for nothing? Oh, that’s fine then.

The shop owner stood up and led the three of them into the shop. At this time, Xu Qi ‘an realized that the shop owner’s leg was lame.

After entering, the indescribable sounds became clearer. The sound insulation effect was extremely poor, and the sounds were chaotic.

If brother spring was here, he would definitely say,”everyone listen to my commands. 121,121, advance and retreat, advance and retreat ...” Xu Qian ridiculed in his heart.

The shop owner chuckled,”the girls in the shop aren’t free, why don’t you wait a while?” I’ll cut half a kilogram of cooked meat for you.”

It was just dark, but the girls in the shop were in good order. The dog meat business in the black market was very good ... Xu Qi ‘an didn’t plan to wait, because he had another purpose.

Xu Qi ‘an kicked the door open, causing the girl inside to scream in shock. He kicked the doors open one by one, causing a wave of angry curses.

The men didn’t even put on their clothes. They ran out and wanted to teach Xu Qi ‘an a lesson.

Xu Qi ‘an knocked down one after another. After five or six, the men didn’t dare to attack anymore. He then gathered his Qi in his dantian and said,

D15 has been booked. Get out of here. Mr. Song will pay for tonight’s expenses.

When the whoremasters heard this, the anger in their hearts was reduced by half. The idea was difficult to deal with. Since the other party was willing to pay, then they had to admit defeat. Anyway, there were shops selling dog meat everywhere in the black market.

At this time, the shop owner had retreated to the anvil. There was a knife for chopping meat there. He pressed his hand on the handle, narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice, ”

“You’re not here to buy meat, but to cause trouble?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll explain later.” Xu Qi ‘an said. Then he gathered the naked and half-naked women in a room and shouted, ”

“Hold your head and squat down!”

The women with different looks did as they were told.

“No one is allowed to leave this room without my permission.” Xu Qi ‘an waited for them to nod fearfully, then closed the door and went back to the first floor.

The shop owner was still in a confrontation with song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao.

Xu Qi ‘an closed the door of the shop and sat down at the table. He took out half of the jade pendant and said in a deep voice, “”Does the shop owner recognize this item?”

The crippled shop owner’s gaze fell on the jade pendant. Under the candlelight, its color was warm and smooth, and the fracture was neat. It had been cut in half by a sharp object.

Xu Qi ‘an clearly saw the shop owner’s pupils shrink.

“Who are you to Zhou qu?”

“You don’t need to know. I just want to ask you, do you recognize this jade pendant?”

The shop owner nodded slightly. please wait a moment.

With that, he limped into a house on the east side. Because he was crippled, he usually lived on the first floor.

The rooms on the second floor were for guests to do business.

Xu Qi ‘an gave Zhu guangxiao a look, telling him to follow the shop owner in case the other party played any tricks.

Soon, the shop owner returned with half a jade pendant and a booklet in his hands, which fit perfectly with the half that Xu Qi ‘an had taken out.

“You’re here to ask for something, right?” The shop owner said as he handed over the booklet.”Zhou Jing left this with me.”

“Don’t you want to ask me anything?” Xu Qi ‘an didn’t touch the book, but stared at him.

“Will you guys tell me?”

“No, but you’re too straightforward.”

The shop owner sighed. when Zhou Jing gave me this book, she told me that the jade pendant was a token. She won’t give me anything without seeing the jade pendant. Even he himself couldn’t.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t tell me your identity. I only recognize the jade pendant, not the person.”

He only recognized the jade pendant and not the person ... Because the Zhou Jing who came to collect evidence might not be Zhou Jing ... The old spy was so meticulous. It was a pity that he was dead ... Xu Qi ‘an picked up the booklet and looked at it carefully. It was an account book that recorded the military supplies of the commander’s office that had disappeared for ” no reason. every transaction was clearly recorded.

With this “evidence,” provincial governor Zhang could arrest and interrogate the commander of the second rank, even though he couldn’t convict him directly.

Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao looked at each other and saw the joy in each other’s eyes. With the evidence in hand, the trip to Yunzhou could almost come to an end.

“What’s your relationship with Zhou Jing? He gave you the account book without any worries.” Xu Qi ‘an put away the account book, took a sip of tea, and asked in a chatting tone.

“I was originally a wandering martial artist, but because I was a busybody, I offended a Yamen official and was beaten up by the other party. This leg was broken at that time. They wanted to take me out of the city and bury me alive, but Lord Zhou saved me. I owe him a life.” The shop owner smiled sadly.

with a crippled leg, it was a joke to travel the martial world, so they took root in White Emperor City ... The day he gave me the thing, I had a premonition that something bad was going to happen to him. However, what I can do is limited. I can’t return the favor of saving my life, but I can at least take care of the things.”

“Thanks!” Xu Qi ‘an nodded and added in his heart,Leave the revenge to us.

The owner of the shop cut a few catties of dog meat for them without asking for money, but Xu Qi ‘an insisted on leaving him five taels of silver. It was not money for the dog meat, but the bill for Master Song.

Song tingfeng turned his head back repeatedly and said regretfully, “”Since we can’t go back now, why don’t we just stay in the shop? I’ve already paid for it ...”

“That’s right, there are beauties serving in the shop.” Xu Qi ‘an pouted. you can go back now. They’re still wet.

“....”Song tingfeng felt that Xu ningyan’s words were really vulgar. It should be said that they were waiting for him to pick them.

.....

...

Late at night, in a certain mansion.

Li Miaozhen sat cross-legged on the bed, meditating. Her black and beautiful hair was scattered, setting off her wheat-colored oval face. She was beautiful and full of heroic spirit.

After coming to Yunzhou for more than a year, she had either trained the private army or went into the mountains to exterminate bandits. Her originally fair face had turned into a wheat color.

However, the disciples of the sky sect didn’t care about their appearance.I have no feelings!

He didn’t need to care about his feelings, let alone his appearance.

After she finished her meditation, she focused her senses for a long time and found that there was no Mei’s aura in the house.

The Mei isn’t back yet?

Three gongs were a piece of cake for the demon. Moreover, Xu Qi ‘an was a wastrel who had been hollowed out by wine and women, so there would be no problem.

Logically speaking, if he had charmed them during the day, he would have been able to directly obtain information from them. Why had they not returned yet?

Could it be that the Mei had disobeyed her orders and coveted her body?

Li Miaozhen immediately ruled out this speculation. The Mei had been by her side for several years. Her biggest advantage was that she was obedient. She was a good family when she was alive and had almost no grievances after she died of illness. She was also kind. She knew that Xu Qi ‘an could not stand being oppressed and would not absorb his essence.

...

Perhaps it was just a moment of fun ... Li Miaozhen lifted the quilt, shrank in, and fell asleep.

The next day, li Miaozhen finished washing up and had breakfast. When the sun rose high in the sky, she still didn’t see the Mei return. She finally realized that something was wrong.

He immediately drew a simple Tai Chi Eight Trigrams Formation in the courtyard, took out the grave soil, corpse oil, cat’s eye, and other Yin objects, and placed them in specific positions.

Then, he took out a crumpled paper figurine and placed it on the Tai Chi fish. He activated the formation with the help of Qi.

In the field of vision invisible to mortals, the crumpled paper figurine crazily absorbed the yin Qi contained in the yin objects. After a while, its hands and feet moved.

Then, the paper man staggered to its feet. After a few seconds of silence, it lay down again and turned into an ordinary paper man.

Li Miaozhen’s face suddenly became serious. This paper figurine was once attached to the Mei and had her aura. It should have guided her to find the Mei.

There were three possible reasons for such a situation:First, the demon had an accident, and her soul was destroyed. Two, the demon was sealed. Third, the Mei had left White Emperor City and had exceeded the paper man’s sensing range.

Out of the three possibilities, no matter which one it was, it meant that something had happened to Mei.

“The one who tied the bell must untie the bell!” Li Miaozhen said.

.....

An Inn!

“Have you finished reading it? is this account book real?”

In the room, song tingfeng asked Xu Qi ‘an, who was checking the accounts at the table, with a hard loquats in his mouth.

Zhu guangxiao sat cross-legged in meditation, cultivating his Qi.

do you know what accounting is? you have to confront the criminal face to face when interrogating him. Xu Qi ‘an said unhappily.

“And you’re still reading it with great interest?” Song tingfeng yawned. He didn’t have a good rest at the inn last night. In fact, it was the aftereffect of the illusion yesterday.

Song tingfeng was now waiting for the return of provincial governor Zhang. After he handed over the mission, he would go to the government office and request the Yamen to find his beloved lady susu.

“At least I can roughly go through it and have a good idea of what’s going on.” Xu Qi ‘an replied.

“I’m going to the outhouse.” Song tingfeng did not want to argue with him.

After squinting and leaving the room, Xu Qi ‘an turned his head and looked at Zhu guangxiao, who was breathing. “Do you want to look for miss susu?”

Zhu guangxiao opened his eyes and glanced at him, but he didn’t say anything.

“You haven’t thought about it?” Xu Qi ‘an laughed.

Xu Qi ‘an irresponsibly said, “”Do you even need to think about it? You and miss susu are husband and wife, but you’ve never even touched that stinky sister of yours, right? You even shamelessly asked for a hundred taels of silver. He had gone crazy thinking about money. Did the old man think that his daughter was ...

“Yes.”

Xu Qi ‘an irresponsibly said, “”Do you even need to think about it? You and miss susu are husband and wife, but you’ve never even touched that stinky sister of yours, right? You even shamelessly asked for a hundred taels of silver. He had gone crazy thinking about money. Did the old man think that his daughter was ... Forget it, I won’t mock her.

“Have you seen my aunt? My Auntie is pretty, right? one of the top beauties. When my second uncle married her, the betrothal gift was only twenty taels. That fiancée of yours, what right does she have?”

A hundred taels of silver would take an ordinary family ten years to save up if they didn’t eat or drink for five years.

With his brother on one side and his fiancée on the other, Zhu guangxiao chose to remain silent. However, he couldn’t help but think of miss SuSu’s delicate panting and her various flirtatious postures.

Mr. Zhu was about to say something when song tingfeng’s voice came from downstairs, “”Ningyan, we have a guest ...”
