The man walked slowly into the house, came in and showed the two of them, and asked: "Who drew the sword? What do you want from me?" At that time, Chen Yixuan hurriedly stepped forward, cupped his fists and handed over his hands, "I don't know the name of the immortal... ..." The other party interrupted him and said, "I'm practicing Liu at home." Chen Yixuan quickly complimented him: "Master Liu, that's what happened..." Chen Yixuan told what happened.
The sixth master pondered for a moment and said: "Back then, I promised your ancestor that I would help the sect when it was destroyed. Now, do you want me to solve the case or cure his Hualiu disease?" Chen Yixuan and his junior brother were arguing. Asking to solve each other's problems, Chen Yixuan asked Liu Ye to cure his junior brother, and his junior brother asked Liu Ye to solve his case. Master Liu pondered for a moment and said, "Let me see it this way! I will cure his disease and then help you solve the case, but there is one condition!" After saying that, without waiting for the two to answer, he took out a small porcelain bottle and threw it to his junior brother. He said: "Take one pill a day and you'll be fine in a month!" Then he turned to Chen Yixuan and said: "I just want to find out the whereabouts of the things. As for taking them back, I don't care. The conditions..." Liu Ye paused and said. : "As a police officer, because I go down to investigate the case, I need the cooperation of the local police; 2,500 yuan, two good horses, two police uniforms, two German-made rifles, each equipped with 200 rounds of ammunition!" Chen Yixuan agreed to go back at that time! After solving the problem, he said goodbye to his junior brother and boarded the train bound for Tianjin with Mr. Liu. After returning to Tianjin, Liu Ye was arranged to live in a guest house, and Chen Yixuan returned to the police station to get the necessary equipment.
The next day, at dawn, Chen Yixuan and Liu Ye mounted their horses and set off. When he arrived in Wuzhong County that day, he arranged to stay in a guest house. Chen Yixuan ran errands and went to the police station to contact the police. The next morning, we arrived at the scene. The scene was cordoned off by the local police, and there were police officers standing guard. Mr. Liu did not survey the scene at all, but walked towards a dirt bag outside the cordon, which was covered with humus. There was dew on the grass, but Chen Yixuan did not follow. Liu Ye climbed up to take a look, reached out to pick up something from the grass, took out a handkerchief and wrapped it in it, then got on his horse and told the local police: "You guys go back!" Then he called Chen Yixuan and walked north without hesitation. ... ...
The road is not wide, with tall sorghum fields on both sides. Not far away, there are several flower bags on the road (this is a cotton-producing area. Flower bags are a kind of basket used to hold cotton. They have a square bottom, a big top and a small bottom. The overall trapezoid shape can also be used to hold firewood, etc., which is similar to the south. A similar backpack - Author's note) When I got closer, I saw some sorghum buds in each flower bag, and there were several children in the sorghum field. When they saw the two men in police uniforms, they all stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do. measures.
Master Liu jumped off his horse, walked into the sorghum field, and picked up sorghum buds. Chen Yixuan was very puzzled at the time. The sorghum had not sprouted ears yet. Wouldn't this harm the crops? Due to professional habits, Chen Yixuan observed very carefully. He saw that Liu Ye did not break off one by one, but occasionally broke off a tree. After a while, Mr. Liu broke off many pieces, each holding a leaf tip. When I walked out, in front of a child, I threw them all into the child's bag with a "wow" sound, leaving only two in my hand. At this time, he found that the child was looking at Mr. Liu with a confused expression, which was different from the expressions of the other children. The other children all had expressions of fear, obviously worried that the two bosses would hold them accountable for their naughty ways, but this one The child is different, his expression is not fear, but confusion! It seems like he is trying his best to remember something! This made Chen Yixuan feel extremely puzzling.
Master Liu turned around and mounted his horse, handed one of the sorghum buds to Chen Yixuan, and said, "Try it!" What did Chen Yixuan think? Try this? Just when he was confused, he saw Liu Ye peeling off the sorghum buds three times or two. Chen Yixuan was stunned at that time, what is this? I saw the peeled sorghum buds in Mr. Liu's hand, as white as a cigarette! Did this sorghum look like this before it grew? This is the first time I’ve seen it! I saw Mr. Liu bit off half of the "cigarette" and chewed it in his mouth! Nod. Chen Yixuan also tried to peel off the sorghum buds in his hands. As expected, there was something similar to a cigarette inside. He took a bite and chewed it, and there was a special fragrance. It was indeed delicious. Look at the bitten stubble, it's gray inside.
Liu Ye bit off the "cigarette" again, clamped his legs together, and urged the horse forward, followed by Chen Yixuan. Master Liu didn't say anything along the way, and Chen Yixuan didn't dare to ask, so he was speechless all the way.
A bridge appeared in front of it, and there was a breakfast stall at the end of the bridge. The two sat down and each ate two meatloaf and a bowl of haggis soup. It tasted pretty good! At least Chen Yixuan still remembered the breakfast freshly when he told us about it. Afterwards, Master Liu mounted his horse, and Chen Yixuan rode behind him, asking: "Where to go next?" Master Liu clamped his horse and replied: "Tangshan!"
Chen Yixuan was confused at that time. What was he going to do in Tangshan, which is more than seventy miles away from here? At that time, I didn't think much about it, so I rode up to follow him. There was no rush along the way, fast and slow, and we arrived in Tangshan before noon. Chen Yixuan still ran errands, contacted the Tangshan Police Department for cooperation, and stayed in the guest house. At noon, the local police chief accompanied them to have a meal. After the meal, they rested in the guest house, and the local police officers fed, drank and brushed the horses. Liu Ye and Chen Yixuan took a lunch break in their room when they had nothing to do. When he woke up, it was already past 4 p.m., but Mr. Liu had eaten well and slept well! After waking up, Mr. Liu wanted to go out for a walk. Several local policemen accompanied him. After walking around a few times and eating some food, Mr. Liu went to the bookstore. Chen Yixuan was accompanying him behind, listening to reading. The storytellers in the bookstore are incomparable to the storytellers in the Tianjin bookstore. But Master Liu listened with interest, and Chen Yixuan had no choice but to accompany him. After hearing that the show was over, Mr. Liu stood up and returned to the guest house.
A night of silence. The next day, I woke up just after 9 a.m. The police officers visited me several times and asked if I wanted to have breakfast, but Mr. Liu told me that he didn’t want to eat breakfast. After washing up, Master Liu told Chen Yixuan to keep five hundred yuan of the two thousand five hundred yuan and put the two thousand yuan in the box and take it with him, as well as the two guns and bullets. After leading the horse, several local police officers holding guns followed behind. After walking for a while, I saw a mule cart. An old man in his fifties was directing three young people to load the cart. Mr. Liu pointed at the car and said to the accompanying police: "After they finish loading the car, invite these people and the car to Yufeng Restaurant and tell them I'll treat them to dinner. Don't scare them!"
When the old man said this, I interjected: "Why don't you invite Hong Yan?" The old man laughed and said, "Hong Yan and Great World didn't exist at that time! Yufeng was the largest restaurant at that time!" Frankly speaking, I interrupted not because I really had any doubts, but because I saw that the old man had been talking for a long time, so I interrupted him and asked him to take a sip of tea and take a rest, so I took out a cigarette, lit it for the old man, and then lit it for my third uncle. The old man looked at me and said to his third uncle: "The boy is good! He is more promising than you!" The third uncle immediately laughed and said: "Most people are more promising than me. I have been a maintenance fitter all my life, and I will only be the best in this life." In this way, those who are content will always be happy! Haha... "
After causing trouble for a while, the old man continued.
He followed Mr. Liu to Yufeng Restaurant, asked for a private room, reserved a table, and waited in the private room. About half an hour later, a bell rang outside, which could be heard as the bell on a mule's neck. The few people were brought in, all with fear on their faces. Mr. Liu stepped forward to greet him. When he saw the old man, he said, "Grandpa is here!" Chen Yixuan almost sat on the ground at that time. What was going on? The old man trembled and said, "Boss, we haven't done anything bad!" Mr. Liu still called himself "Master" and said, "Sir, I don't mean anything else. I just want to treat you to a meal. There is nothing good or bad. ! Please come in..." He said, and said to the big man behind him: "Master, please come in too!" The big man seemed a little stunned and muttered, "We don't have such relatives... . ”
As he said that, he walked in, followed by a young man in his twenties and a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old. The sixth master hurriedly called the uncle and the third uncle, but this time when the sixth master called them, he said the word "ye" softly. When it comes to the elder generation, that is, the eldest uncle and the third uncle. After coming in, he didn't dare to sit down, and Chen Yixuan didn't know what to say! Master Liu stretched out his hands and said to everyone: "Everyone, please sit down." But no one dared to sit down. Liu Ye opened the wine and poured it for everyone. At this time, the food was still being served, and a plate of elbows was brought to the table. The big man didn't sit down, but picked up his chopsticks and started eating. The old man whom Liu Ye called grandpa slapped him. In his hand, he drank: "You dare to eat anything!" Mr. Liu smiled and said at that time: "Let me eat it!" He took the chopsticks three or two times and cut the elbow into several pieces. Put one piece into the bowl in front of the tall man. Chen Yixuan couldn't stand it any longer. He stretched out the corners of Mr. Liu's clothes and whispered, "Sir, come out here. I have something to say!"
When they got outside, Chen Yixuan said to Liu Ye: "We are here to investigate the case. We are not pretending to be grandsons. If you want to ask them anything, just ask them. If it doesn't work, they will be arrested and tortured. There is no need for this! I have solved cases for so many years. People are afraid of officials, and we are the boss! We can't..." Before he could finish speaking, Mr. Liu waved his hand and interrupted him, saying: "You don't care about so much, go and take those two thousand oceans. Bring it!" He said and turned around and entered the house.
Chen Yixuan went to the saddle bag to get the box. When he entered the house, he saw that Mr. Liu was already chatting and drinking with those people. There was no official-civilian atmosphere at all. It was really as if Mr. Liu was that person's grandson. .. ...
