After crossing, I suppressed the shadow guard who wanted to kill me

Chapter 15

==============================

Having seen how much Jing Lingzhi didn't care about himself, and was afraid that he would forget to take the medicine when he got busy, Su Hongyu simply locked him up in his small yard temporarily, intending to let him go after the injury was almost healed.Anyway, the two side rooms next to the main house are empty and empty, and they are just right for use at this time.

Jing Lingzhi probably also knew that his trust in the master was not high in this matter, so he readily agreed.

After ordering things down, there will naturally be servants who prepare daily necessities.As for the official documents of the Shadow Guard Battalion, Ying Yi was responsible for delivering them.The two of them were busy with their own affairs in the study room during the day, and went back to their respective rooms at night, and their days were quite leisurely.During this period, Yizhi came several times, hurriedly diagnosed and treated Jing Lingzhi's injury, and then left in a hurry.The only time when Su Hongyu bumped into him, he only had time to ask about Yi Yuan's situation, and knowing that Mr. Yi would not come back for a while, he could only watch as if his ass was burned.Yi Zhi's attitude towards him can be regarded as the top unsolved mystery in Su Hongyu's heart.

Apart from this episode, life in the small yard can be regarded as leisurely.

On this day, Jing Lingzhi got up early in the morning to wash up as usual, and asked the medicine boy who was waiting outside the door to change his medicine, then packed himself and went to the study.

In the spacious study room, an extra table was temporarily added, complete with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and neatly tidied up. Compared with the stacked books on another table not far away, it looked a lot simpler.When Jing Lingzhi arrived, someone was already in the house.

"The subordinate has seen the master."

"Don't be too polite." Su Hongyu stared at the book in his hand, and nodded his chin twice in the direction of the other table: "Yingyi has already delivered the things."

As in the past few days, Jing Lingzhi dealt with official business one by one, while Su Hongyu flipped through the brochures he got before, and occasionally asked Jing Lingzhi when he came across something he was interested in.After a few days, he finally got the other party used to no longer kneeling on the ground every time he answered a conversation, but just put down the pen in his hand.It has to be said that this is not a small progress.

Just like now, Jing Lingzhi put the pen on the edge of the inkstone, quickly sorted out his thoughts, and replied respectfully: "Return to the master, Yan Fei, the master of Qiange Pavilion, is in charge of the financial circulation of Hengjiao. He is tall and thin with a short beard. , with a line-shaped scar on the left face, simple clothes, and an indigo robe all the year round. Martial arts are fair, and he is good at using soft swords. Together with Shang Pavilion Master Du Hongxuan, they are the only two remaining Pavilion Masters who have followed the previous leader Friendship with Pavilion Master Du. In addition, because of his unlovable personality and merciless words, he is no more than acquaintances with other pavilion masters and deputy pavilion masters. He has not made a big mistake in being in charge of Qian Pavilion for many years."

"You said his martial arts are not bad, how does he compare with you?"

"Return to master, life and death fight, subordinates can take their lives in one move."

"Oh?" Can this so-called martial arts be so watery?

"Although the master of Yange's swordsmanship is good, his internal strength is only second-rate, far inferior to his subordinates. In addition, as a shadow guard, his subordinates are very good at assassination..."

Needless to say, Su Hongyu could guess the rest. Isn't this just food delivery? He understands.There is another point, "You said that he did not make a big mistake. Could it be that he has financial problems?" This is unexpected.According to the previous information, what Su Hongyu came up with was a tall, thin and serious old man with a bad temper who treated money like dirt.Is it true that people cannot be judged by their appearance?

Jing Lingzhi explained very well: "Although Pavilion Master Yan had minor faults, he acted with discretion. In addition, the previous leader thought that he had worked hard for many years, and his merits outweighed his faults, so he did not pursue it."

He also understands the truth that when the water is clear, there will be no fish: "Then you still say that his clothes are plain?" Su Hongyu thought of Du Hongxuan who had met once.The old man looked plain with all his clothes on, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the material of the clothes was not really as cheap as it looked.I don't know what kind of plain method this Yan Fei is?

"Master doesn't know, although Master Yan Pavilion is rich, he is a bit stingy when it comes to spending..."

Needless to say, it seems that this is really "simple".

Just at this moment, a gray pigeon flew in through the open wooden window with flapping wings, circled around the room and landed on Jing Ling's shoulder. The beak pecked at his face, while pecking, while blinking a pair of shrewd little eyes, he turned his head to look at Su Hongyu not far away from time to time.

It's homing pigeons!These three big characters quickly flashed across the screen in Su Hongyu's eyes.In modern times, pigeons have long been replaced by more convenient methods. Pigeons have only been seen on TV or on the side of the road in the sky, and they have never been touched before.

Jing Lingzhi recognized that it was the carrier pigeon delivered by Hengjiao. It was fast, but it couldn't deliver any confidential elements.Taking out a small piece of paper from the small wooden tube tied to the pigeon's leg, he keenly noticed that the owner was looking at the pigeon with a look of interest. He smoothed the pigeon's feathers, held the pigeon with skillful hands, and held it against the pigeon. "Little brother, what's the matter with you" was held in front of Su Hongyu.

He stretched out his hand tentatively. The body temperature of the bird is higher than that of a human, and his fingers are not only smooth to the touch, but also very warm.Su Hongyu grabbed the pigeon in a hurry, not daring to use force for fear of hurting it.Jing Lingzhi looked up after reading the note, and the pigeon had already flown away without a trace.

Looking at the regretful expression on the master's face, he couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.He bowed his head and coughed lightly, and put the note on the desk in front of Su Hongyu, which said "I'll return when the matter is cleared up." At the end, there was a code to identify himself.

"A few days ago, my subordinate Mingying Wu investigated the matter of Qingyang County in detail. I don't want to have the result now."

"But what unexpected delay?" Su Hongyu guessed.

"If there is an accident, Yingwu will definitely send back the news." Jing Lingzhi shook his head and denied, "He should be back in the afternoon, and you will know when you ask."

"Alright." Su Hongyu nodded in agreement.

Jing Lingzhi's time estimation was quite accurate, not long after lunch, a shadow guard came to report, and Ying Wu asked to see him.

To Su Hongyu's surprise, Ying Wu did not wear the usual black clothes of shadow guards, but instead was dressed as a martial artist. Behind him was a man wearing a brown short shirt, black trousers, and a pair of black trousers. With dusty cloth shoes, the whole person shrinks and hides behind Ying Wu.

"This subordinate has met the leader." Ying Wu saluted like an ordinary congregation, and the people behind him also stumbled and kowtowed to the ground following his example.

If it weren't for the status restriction, Su Hongyu would really like to appease this poor baby.Helpless, he could only signal Jing Lingzhi with his eyes.

Jing Lingzhi received the signal and asked with a serious face, "Who is this?"

Before the man was even more frightened, Ying Wu replied: "My lord, this is the survivor of the Li Ye caravan in Qingyang County, Zhang San." After finishing speaking, he pulled the man out from behind and put him beside him, "Take it easy and tell me what happened then."

It may be that he was asked too much before, but Zhang San looked scared, but he spoke neatly.To sum it up, Li Ye was leading a caravan on the road, and bumped into the Donghua faction's convoy and yelled for them to give way. Seeing the crowd on the other side, Li Ye decided to give way out of caution, but the other party had to be unreasonable and swearing. Dislike Li Ye's slow movements.When the guards accompanying the caravan saw that the person on the other side was too aggressive, they returned their words.Seeing that the matter was about to turn into a big mess, Li Ye quietly asked Zhang San to take the trail back to Qingyang County to call for help, but the rescue arrived too late, and everyone died.

After finishing speaking, Jing Lingzhi signaled Ying Wu to take Zhang San out first, and hand it over to the young man waiting outside to take care of him.

Ying Wu's investigation results are similar to what Zhang San said.Just to be on the safe side, he re-verified the identities of the thirty or so people who died, focused on Zhang San, and confirmed that these people were all locals who were born and raised near Qingyang County, at least three generations have been here. It is war, people are displaced, and it is not easy to find out where they came from.These people are backed by Hengjiao, and receive a lot of favor from Hengjiao on weekdays. In addition, Hengjiao pays well and can learn skills, so many ordinary Hengjiao members come from here.

After checking this, if there is no change in the affairs of Qingyang County, it can be regarded as the end. The only trouble is the treatment of Zhang San.I have to ask Pavilion Master Du to come over this matter.

Du Hongxuan came very quickly, not only did not see him for a while, not only did he not change at all, he also seemed to have gained a little weight.

They met each other and gave them seats.Yingwu explained his findings in detail.

Du Hongxuan thought about it carefully, and really couldn't find any mistakes.But his doubts were not resolved.Apart from having a personal ID, the matter seems to have reached a dead end: "The little old man thinks that the key to the solution now falls on this San, and this person cannot be let go."

Su Hongyu nodded, and then asked back: "From Elder Du's point of view, how should Zhang San be arranged?"

There is no high hall in Zhang San's family, and his mother died young, but he and his father are the only two who are enrolled in Hengjiao and serve in Li Ye's caravan.His father was also among the victims of this catastrophe.In other words, he has no relatives alive.In terms of emotion and reason, Hengjiao should not let it go.

"In my opinion, it's better to pay him a fee to bury his father Haosheng, and then arrange a job for him in the Shang Pavilion, and arrange some people to watch nearby."

This method is indeed safe.only......

Su Hongyu thought of the child he saw just now.how old is heSeventeen?Or eighteen?Although he is still at the age of studying in modern times, his family has been ruined here, and he is struggling to make a living.Zhang San is not very old, and he has not learned any martial arts. The fists and embroidered legs he knows are all learned in Wuge after he started. Bully.It doesn't matter whether he is soft-hearted or hypocritical, since he has seen it, he can't let it go when he has the ability to help. It doesn't affect him, it's just a matter of extra dishes.

"The more people pass by, the greater the possibility of things being exposed. Why don't you stay with me and be a servant. With shadow guards around, it's more convenient to watch over."

Du Hongxuan squeezed and said: "This matter is absolutely impossible, how can the leader's body of ten thousand gold be placed under the dangerous wall!"

"It doesn't matter." Su Hongyu said, "Besides, with Ling Zhi here, Boss Du should feel relieved."

"This...forget it. I hope the leader must be careful."

In this way, Zhang San's matter was settled like this.

After Du Hongxuan left, Jing Lingzhi, who had been silent all this time, knelt down in front of Su Hongyu and said, "This subordinate and Pavilion Master Du have the same opinion. This matter involves the Donghua School, and Zhang San's doubts have not yet been clarified. Master, think twice."

Faced with successive oppositions, Su Hongyu has not forgotten the result of his previous ignorance. After the impulsiveness passed, his original thoughts were shaken: "I was reckless." After thinking about it, he came up with an idea: "This matter has already been discussed with Du The pavilion master has decided that it is not good to go back on his word, it is better to arrange people to a place far away from the main house and study to do some cleaning work, which can be regarded as an explanation."

The main house and the study are important places, there are shadow guards watching secretly, and others are not allowed to approach easily.The rest doesn't matter.After thinking about it, Jing Lingzhi nodded in agreement, and turned around to ask the shadow guard on duty to pay more attention to Zhang San, and report any changes immediately.
