Lu Qiao laughed and looked at the black paws of the little beggar. He moved in his heart, "If you do uncle a favor, uncle will give you double rewards, okay?"
The little beggar hesitated, "Okay."
"Go and help me find out where these people live, OK? I'm waiting for you at the first alley in the East City. When you find out, my uncle will pay you back."
When the little Qier heard that it was just a matter of finding someone, he wanted to agree very readily, but he looked at the note in Lu Qiao's hand and said, "I don't know how to read."
"It's okay, I'll tell you what their names are, can't you remember them?"
Although the little beggars were small, they had a good memory. Lu Qiao only read it twice and was remembered by him, and quickly found out where these people lived.
Lu Qiao gave the little Qi'er two taels of silver as promised, and after dismissing him, he visited the places where the few people on the note lived.
The person who was arranged by Mao Feng to stare at Lv Qiao was worried about being discovered by Lv Qiao by following too close, so he only knew that Lv Qiao had come to Dongshi, but did not know what he had done in Dongshi. When they reported Lv Qiao's whereabouts to Mao Feng, Mao Feng missed and smashed his most cherished jade cup to pieces!
"You saw him go to the East Market with your own eyes?"
"The subordinates have seen it with their own eyes, and they will never go wrong!"
Mao Feng nodded, "My lord remembers that the General Mansion is very remote. Every time Lv Qiao goes back, he will pass through a small alley, right?"
"Yes it is."
"Let people continue to follow Lu Qiao, so that he will never return to the house!"
Not knowing that the danger is near, Lu Qiao was still immersed in the answer to the question just now. He never expected that Mao Feng, as a county guard, would be so bold that even his life could be trampled on immediately!
Lv Qiao, who was worried, had already walked to the alley. It was obviously summer, but it was very shady inside, especially today. Lv Qiao walked, the martial artist's intuition made him avoid a knife that struck from behind, and then leaned to avoid the blade that was pierced by the side. However, he did not expect that the other party would put him to death. There are as many as twenty or thirty people.
"Who is your excellency?"
These twenty or thirty people in black were silent, raising their knives and slashing, obviously they wanted to keep Lv Qiao here. Seeing this behavior, Lu Qiao had a vague guess about the origin of this group of people.
Although Lu Qiao's martial arts were good, he couldn't stand the siege of so many people. When the opponent's man fell halfway down, Lu Qiao had already suffered a lot of injuries, and blood was bleeding vigorously everywhere.
I thought it would be explained in this small alley today, but when the man in black was about to pierce his chest, he was blocked by a fan.
There were a lot of assassins here. Originally, Lu Qiao thought he would be here today, but the man who suddenly appeared with a fan as a weapon was very good at martial arts, and the assassins quickly abolished and died.
"General Lu, the three-day period is coming soon, are you sure you still have to waste time here?" The man with the fan said after the assassin was solved.
Lv Qiao returned to his senses and said, "I don't know the name of your surname Gao? Lv will definitely come to visit another day, thank you very much."
"Thank you, you can investigate the case carefully, and the innocence that was in vain is to thank me!"
The three-day period has come. It happens to be the day when all Northwest officials report to Ling Chuyao on official affairs. Lv Qiao also takes this time to report back what he has found in the past few days.
"My lord, after constant inspections of these three days of humble duty, I found that the first racer to attack someone else on the third day of the Marathon, the first racer to'die with the opponent', and at least five of the first to jump into the arena. People who are more gaffes have one characteristic in common."
Mao Feng has been restless since he sent the assassins out yesterday. This kind of uneasiness became more obvious as time passed, especially when no one came back after dawn and reached the culmination.
Now I heard Lu Qiao's words, his brows jumped, and he couldn't help but say: "General Lu, remember to think carefully before speaking, and don't let your family feel tired because of your momentary anger."
Ling Chuyao said, "Is Master Mao threatening General Lu?"
Mao Feng hurriedly regained consciousness and glanced at Ling Chuyao, "No, the next official just reminded General Lu, lest he is a little busy these days and ignores his family."
Lv Qiao was full of mockery, "One size fits one size, and I have done something wrong, so I don't want anyone to say it?" After that, he said to Ling Chuyao: "Back to the lord, as far as the humble duty knows, those people are all bought by Master Mao. Yes, the purpose is to make the situation violent and out of control."
Ling Chuyao propped his head with his hands and asked casually, "Mao, do you have anything to say?"
"The prince, it's wrong to subordinate the official! Lv Qiao has always been uncomfortable with the next official. This time, taking advantage of this opportunity, he definitely wants to pull me down from this position so that he can dominate the Northwest alone. Lord, you You have to be aware of everything!"
"You mean, General Lu wronged you?"
"Yes, yes," Mao Feng nodded as if smashing garlic, "There have always been festivals between us, and Lv Qiao has never been seen to be in office!"
Lv Qiao felt disgusted when he saw Mao Feng dismissing himself so unnecessarily. He showed everything in his hand to Ling Chuyao. Mao Feng was originally kneeling, and he secretly raised his head to look at Ling Chuyao's face.
Ling Chuyao looked at the things in his hands, his face getting more and more ugly, and finally threw the paper on Mao Feng, "You take a good look at yourself, you really have a face that you are wronged!"
Mao Feng quietly picked up a piece of it and looked at it, and his expression was completely lost.
"Master Mao, do you have anything to defend?"
Mao Feng looked up and wanted to distinguish a few words, but he didn't know where to start, his mouth opened and closed, and finally he bowed his head and said dejectedly: "The official has nothing to say."
Ling Chuyao said: "Come here, the northwest county guard Mao Feng used the marathon to satisfy his own selfish interests, and he squandered his life. Now he is sent to his northwest county to hold a post, and he is in prison for interrogation!"
Mao Feng allowed himself to be dragged out. His drooping eyelids just blocked the light in his eyes. No one noticed it. He thought it was the Eastern Window incident, and Mao Feng secretly regretted it in his heart.
In fact, Mao Feng was prepared with both hands at the beginning. Now even if he is put into prison, it is only one of his retreat paths, and this path is what he most wants to take. If he succeeds, he will reach the sky in one step!
When Lv Qiao saw Mao Feng being taken into custody, the heart that had been suspended because of his words just now slowly returned to his original position. Fortunately, nothing happened. Otherwise, he might really have to be careful. After all, after working together for so many years, Mao Feng is the same No one knows this better than him.
Mao Feng was imprisoned in Huazhou City. When the news came back to the prefectural government, only a few more favored concubines panicked. Mao Xiang said only "I know" and the person who reported the letter sent it away.
