Chapter 230: Knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger
By the time Fang Jie returned to the courtyard where Wang Wei was captured, it was already too late. While observing in secret, he discovered the figure of Qin Liuqi, the steward of Prince Yi's Mansion. Fang Jie, who was hiding in a big tree on the roadside, did not dare to be exposed easily because he was not sure whether Qin Liuqi was a person with advanced cultivation.
The period from when Fang Jie captured Wang Wei to when he came back only lasted about an hour and a half. Qin Liuqi appeared here so quickly. There was obviously something in this yard that must not be known to outsiders. Fang Jie had to secretly say good luck. It happened that no one else was in the yard when he captured Wang Wei.
Waiting until Qin Liuqi left, Fang Jie carefully slid down from the big tree and returned quickly. Qin Liuqi left some people in the yard, and Fang Jieben wanted to observe whether they would move anything away from the yard. But the sky was already getting slightly brighter, and it would be easy for someone to spot him if he stayed any longer.
Back in the shop, the blood stains and corpses had been disposed of by Shen Qingfan. Fang Jie didn't ask her where she dumped Wang Wei's body. He trusted Shen Qingshan's meticulousness.
"There is no substantial progress."
Fang Jie changed into his night clothes, washed his face with cold water and said to Shen Qingshan: "Apart from knowing that Luo Yao has a wizard in the general's mansion, he didn't ask anything else. Wang Wei seems to be true. He didn't know what was hidden in the courtyard. With his status, he was only a marginal figure in Prince Yi's Mansion, but it could be seen from this that even people like Wang Wei, Prince Yi's Mansion, wanted to win over his subordinates over the years. How many people have been gathered is a scary number. "
Shen Qingshan was silent for a while and then asked: "Want to enter the palace?"
Fang Jie shook his head: "I entered the palace immediately after Wang Weicai's death, so I will inevitably be suspected. Since the emperor asked Su Buwei to contact me, he will naturally find a way. I will just wait."
He looked at the sky outside and said, "After I go out to eat something, I should go to the martial arts academy. You have a good rest."
Shen Qing gave a slap, and after Fang Jie changed into hospital uniforms, the two of them went out to have breakfast together. The couple selling hot noodle soup not far from the door had already left the stall early, and they were already very familiar with Fang Jie. Both the boss and his wife had a very good impression of Mr. Xiao Fang. They felt that Mr. Xiaofang didn't have the airs of a nobleman and was polite and sincere to others. Just like the junior next door, he doesn't look like an official person at all. They like this kind of young people, especially the fact that Fang Jie is from a poor family makes people feel more friendly.
So when Fang Jie and Shen Qingshan came out, the old couple greeted them warmly. The two of them looked at the beautiful pair and felt from the bottom of their hearts that this was a real match. The man is handsome, elegant and has a bright future, while the woman is beautiful and has a good figure, and she looks gentle and gentle.
"Good morning, Mr. Xiaofang."
The boss waved: "Still the same as before?"
Fang Jie nodded and said with a smile: "Old Wang, you are not earlier, you are still the same."
While he was talking, he noticed that someone was already eating at the stall, but Fang Jie didn¡¯t pay attention at first. When I walked in, I realized that I had seen this person more than once. It was the young man who walked up to Prince Yi and nodded to him last time. He was wearing a Confucian shirt and looked polite.
The young man sitting at the noodle stall eating looked back at Fang Jie, smiled and nodded. Fang Jie also nodded, and then he and Shen Qingshan sat down at a table across from the man.
"Master Xiaofang, thank you for going to the martial arts academy so early every day."
Lao Wang said while speaking skillfully.
Fang Jie's attention was on the young man, but he didn't show it. He smiled and said: "With our status, we will naturally be more nervous if we are lucky enough to enter the martial arts academy. The starting point of others is much higher than mine. If not If you work harder, you won't be left behind by a few blocks?"
Lao Wang said: "This is wrong. Who doesn't know that Master Xiaofang is a rare genius in the Sui Dynasty for a hundred years? He excelled in nine subjects in the Yanwu Academy examination. No one can compare with him except General Li Xiao more than a hundred years ago. ? You are too self-effacing. According to me, Lao Wang, if you go forward a hundred years, no one will be able to match you, Mr. Xiao Fang. As for now, let alone the famous one. Young Master, others are far behind you.¡±
Hearing these words, the movements of the hands of the young man who was lowering his head to eat noodles seemed to stiffen slightly, but soon returned to normal. No one noticed that he raised his eyebrows, which seemed to be quite disdainful.
He quietly finished the bowl of noodles, then paid and left. He didn't seem to be in a hurry to go somewhere and walked very slowly.
Fang Jie looked at his back, was silent for a while and said in a low voice to Shen Qingshan: "This person is from Prince Yi. Maybe he is the person who takes over from Wang Wei to guard the courtyard. But I don't know who he is."Why did it happen to appear here? If it was intentional Could it be that Prince Yi doubted me? "
Shen Qingfan said: "How about I follow him and take a look?"
"Don't¡¡"
Fang Jie shook his head: "There was nothing wrong with what happened last night. It should be impossible for Prince Yi to think of me so quickly. The presence of this person here does not mean anything. Although he looks very gentle and polite, but I I always feel that he seems to be quite hostile to me If he comes with a purpose, sooner or later he will show his weakness. "
Shen Qing snorted and recalled in his mind to make sure he remembered the young man's appearance.
Half an hour later, Fang Henshui slowly walked into the yard where Wang Wei was captured. When I got to the backyard, I looked carefully at the window, then walked to the wall and jumped up, squatted on the wall and looked carefully for a while, then jumped out from the wall, seemingly aimless, but in fact I kept looking for traces. .
Soon, he walked to the big locust tree where Fang Jie left Wang Wei. He walked around under the tree twice, looked up, and then jumped up the tree. Because it was still early, no one noticed him on the street.
About two minutes later, he jumped down from the big locust tree, raised his head and looked around, and finally chose a roof to jump on.
Sure enough, he found very faint footprints on the tiles on the roof.
¡¡
¡¡
Qin Liuqi glanced at Fang Henshui and said coldly: "You said that the person who kidnapped Wang Wei was Fang Jie. What evidence do you have?"
Fang Henshui pinched a piece of fruit and threw it into his mouth. While chewing it, he said, "You should know that I was born as a police officer. And I can be sure that I am the best police officer in Jiangnan. If I were not in such a A remote small county, but in the county or the capital, must have a great reputation. I naturally have my own means of investigating the case, so I have reason to suspect that Fang Jie is related to this matter. "
"Then tell me your reason."
Qin Liuqi glanced at Fang Henshui indifferently: "I know you have always wanted to kill Fang Jie, but the prince did not allow you to kill him. Fang Jie is a very important part of the prince's next plan. If something unexpected happens, you should I know that no one can resist the prince's anger, so don't speak in this tone. If you have evidence, just say it."
Fang Henshui stretched his body lazily and said, "If I say it's related, it must be related."
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Bang!
Fang Henshui's body was hit by a strong force in an instant. His body flew backwards like a cannonball and was embedded in the wall. Broken masonry and dust fell one after another, and the air in the room suddenly became turbid. Fang Henshui coughed a few times and subconsciously looked down at the hand stuck around his neck.
Qin Liuqi looked at him and said coldly: "Don't think that you are invincible just because you don't know how you got it. I won't say it a second time When you talk to me in the future, don't show off." I will kill you directly for such a gesture. Now can you tell me the basis for your suspicion of Fang Jie?"
He let go of his hand, brushed off the dirt on his body, walked back to the chair and sat down.
Fang Henshui's eyes flashed with fear. He really didn't expect Qin Liuqi's cultivation to be so advanced. In front of him, he didn't even have the slightest ability to fight back. The unexpected cultivation made him think that he was already very powerful, but now he realized that he had indeed overestimated his strength.
He coughed a few times and swallowed the sweet taste that came up.
"The person who captured Wang Wei was very smart. He followed Wang Wei's footprints when he went out. But this person was not very good at qinggong, and some traces can be found on the street. I followed the footprints to find the place where Wang Wei was abandoned. , and then the person who captured him left. Another person took Wang Wei away from the roof. It snowed in Chang'an City a few days ago. Although the snow has completely melted, you know that the snow is not actually visible. It looks so clean. After the snow melts, the roof that has not been cleaned always leaves a layer of dirty traces. The person who took Wang Wei away was much better at Qinggong and Qinggong than the first person, but he was carrying a hundred. The extra pounds of the man made him slightly heavier, so he left shallow footprints on the roof. "
After calming down his breathing, he continued: "I followed the footprints to the outside of Dong 23rd Street, and the footprints disappeared. And Fang Jie lives in Dong23rd Street I don't have much to do these days. , I get up very early every day. The man who sells hot noodle soup not far from Fang Jie¡¯s shop is very good. I like to have breakfast there because I always finish my meal before Fang Jie, so he doesn¡¯t know about me. Go there often.¡±
"I have observed Fang Jie's living habits during these days, so I know that today he left home about half a stick of incense earlier than usual. And every day he eats breakfast alone. Today isCame out with that woman of his. I suspect that the two of them didn't sleep at all last night. "
After listening to Fang Henshui's analysis, Qin Liuqi frowned a little: "This is just your speculation, and the woman next to Fang Jie is not the only expert living on East 23rd Street. But this matter I will mention to the prince that you will guard this courtyard from now on. If the man who captured Wang Wei did not have a personal grudge with Wang Wei but targeted the prince, he will definitely come again because I have nothing. To take him away is to lead that person to come again.¡±
"Your cultivation is indeed impressive, but if you have no merit at all, how can the prince take it seriously?"
Qin Liuqi stood up, walked to Fang Henshui, patted his shoulder and said, "It's good for young people to be competitive, and it's better to be smart. But it's best if you have self-awareness."
After saying this, Qin Liuqi left here. Fang Henshui watched Qin Liuqi's back disappear, raised his hand and touched his neck with cold eyes.
After Qin Liuqi returned to Prince Yi's Mansion, he boarded the building boat and told Yang Yin the complete analysis of Fang Henshui. But to Qin Liuqi's expectation, Yang Yin didn't seem surprised at all.
Qin Liuqi asked in surprise that the prince didn¡¯t seem to care? Yang Yin smiled and waved: "Come, tell Manager Qin what happened last night."
The old madam of Xinyue Building came out from behind, lowered his head and said to Qin Liuqi: "Last night, Fang Jie entered the building in disguise. Although he was dressed up very carefully, the servant still recognized him. He lowered his head when he came in, obviously. Afraid of being seen by others, he ordered a private room as soon as he entered, and even ordered a gentry. He didn't leave until after Choushi, because he couldn't break the maid's body after drinking too much. But he did before Choushi. I have never left, I can be sure.¡±
Qin Liuqi was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "I have a lovely wife at home, but I still can't help but cheat. Now I understand why Fang Jie and Shen Qingshan seem to have been up all night."
Yang Yin smiled and said: "Young man is romantic In that case, I will just be a favor and take Zhuang Die to Fang Jie's shop in a sedan chair. I want to see how Shen Qingshan, who has great cultivation, drinks." Get this jar of vinegar."
