Chapter 498 Night Detective

   "Why is it not peaceful?" Chenguang asked humbly.

The old man put the broken silver back into Chenguang's hands, and sighed, "The old man is not for the money of my little brother, so I will remind you about the package of candy you gave to my little grandson. One night a few days ago, an official The old man's mansion was surrounded by gangsters, and the sound of fighting and killing stopped in the middle of the night. The old man happened to deliver firewood to the mansion of the official man every day. It was just dawn that day, and he saw that the bluestone slabs were dyed red. , someone is splashing water in basins to wash them."

   Chenguang's heart jumped when he heard it, and he quickly asked, "I don't know which official's mansion it is?"

"It's the mansion of General Xing, where his family lives." The old man shook his head. "Those scoundrels are really confused. If you can't trouble anyone, why do you have to trouble General Xing? With so many soldiers, it's not a piece of cake to deal with a few bad guys, tsk tsk."

   "Uncle, did you leave because of this?"

The old man's face changed slightly: "This matter has not yet spread in the city, and the people who got the news are all well-connected, and the old man just happened to know it. Little brother thinks, this Fuxing City is not a small village. Town, isn't it scary that something like this happened in such a big city? Those scoundrels can break into General Xing's mansion today, and maybe they will kill and set fire tomorrow, so some people who got the news left temporarily to avoid it. The old man happened to be fine, so he just took his grandson to his parents."

   "So it is, thank you old man for reminding me." Chenguang handed over.

  The old man stood up and pulled his little grandson: "Okay, enough rest, we should go. Little brother, if you are not in a hurry, don't go to Fuxing City for the time being."

   "Okay, we got it, thank you old man."

  The old man led his little grandson away, and the three of them were still standing under the tree and did not move.

"Have gangsters besieged Xing Wuyang's mansion?" Shao Mingyuan pondered the old man's words and looked at Qiao Zhao, "Zhaozhao, did you notice that when the old man mentioned those gangsters just now, the tone of the old man did not seem to be the hatred of the common people for the robbers, but rather transparent. With a hint of regret."

  Qiao Zhao nodded in agreement: "Yes, it seems that I wish those gangsters succeeded, which shows how unpopular Xing Wuyang is."

   Shao Mingyuan looked into the distance, and the figures of the grandparents and grandsons gradually disappeared.

   "The identities of those villains are a bit interesting."

  Qiao Zhao thought thoughtfully: "Going straight to Xing Wuyang's mansion is definitely not for money. If you want to make money, you don't need to pick up the hardest bones."

   "Then why do you think it is?" Shao Mingyuan asked.

   "We are still smeared over there. It's hard to guess." Qiao Zhao smiled, met Shao Mingyuan's encouraging gaze, and thought for a while, "Nine times out of ten it has something to do with the civil upheaval."

   Shao Mingyuan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes darkened, and he said softly, "Maybe it was a mutiny."

  Qiao Zhao was startled: "Mutiny? Why do you think so?"

A    mutiny is not the same as a people's mutiny. A mutiny under the commander-in-chief of the station proves that the team he led has been rotten to the core.

   "I don't have any basis, I just lead the troops to fight for these years, out of a general's intuition." Shao Mingyuan said bluntly.

   This intuition is by no means nonsense, but the experience of predicting the rapidly changing battlefield situation accumulated in countless battles, big and small.

   "Let's go, what's going on in Lucky Star City, you can see it with your own eyes."

   The three continued on their way, and in the afternoon, the city of Fuxing with its arched gates appeared in front of them.

   A group of soldiers stood beside the city gate, checking those who entered the city.

   "Eldest son—" Chenguang shouted.

   "No harm."

  The three walked to the queue, and when it was their turn, the soldiers standing by the city gate looked at Shao Mingyuan and Chenguang carefully, and asked coldly, "Isn't it a local?"

   Both Shao Mingyuan and Chenguang's height are more conspicuous in this southern coastal area.

   "Yes, we're here to marry." Chenguang smiled.

   "Guide." The soldier held out his hand.

  Morning light was busy guiding the road, and a piece of silver of considerable weight was presented together.

The    silver sank, and the soldier hurriedly glanced at Lu Yin, returned it to Chenguang, and reminded: "Don't cause trouble."

   "For sure, for sure, we are all good people who keep their own feet."

   The three of them finally entered the city smoothly, and they found an inn not too far from the Xing Censor's Mansion.

   "The advantages and disadvantages are originally relative. Chenguang, after you take a break, go out and find an unremarkable house to rent, and we'll move in tomorrow."

   "You still want to rent a house?" Chenguang was quite surprised.

   "Once Yushi Xing is rescued, the other party will definitely know that the inn will be the first to start the search. The height of the two of us is easy to guess that we came from the north." Shao Mingyuan explained.

   "I understand the humble position, the humble position will go."

   When evening came, the morning light returned: "General, it has been done."

   Shao Mingyuan nodded: "Well, you protect Miss Li tonight, I'll go visit Xing Mansion."

   "Which Xing House?" Qiao Zhao asked.

  Xing Wuyang and Xing Yushi happened to be both surnamed Xing, so I really need to ask where Shao Mingyuan intends to go.

   "Take both."

   Soon it was night, Shao Mingyuan changed into a night clothes, even his handsome face was covered by black scarves, only a pair of black eyes were revealed.

   "Zhaozhao, I'm leaving." Shao Mingyuan raised his hand and stroked Qiao Zhao's hair lightly.

   "Then be careful."

   Shao Mingyuan smiled: "Don't worry, I will be back sooner."

Qiao Zhao took out an exquisite purse from his sleeve and handed it over: "Take this, it contains a few medicines, the red bottle is a detoxification pill, it can last for at least an hour when swallowed when encountering common poisons. The bottle contains hemostatic powder, which can quickly stop bleeding when poured on the wound, and the green bottle contains the elixir—"

  Qiao Zhao paused and looked at Shao Mingyuan deeply: "I hope you don't use it."

  The man is much taller than her, and she needs to look up at him halfway up, just to see the smile in his eyes clearly.

   Miss Qiao thought: This man belongs to her, no matter how rascal and cheeky, she is reluctant to let anyone hurt him. Whoever dares to hurt her man, she will make him unlucky.

Miss Qiao took out a palm-length bottle from her sleeve and handed it over, and explained, "The Immortal Pill is for hanging, I believe you won't use it, just in case. As for the bottle in this bottle. If you really encounter someone who is difficult to deal with, open the cork and pour it on him."

   "What will happen then?"

   "It's not a big problem, it's just that the whole body will burn like fire in an instant." Miss Qiao wrote lightly.

   Shao Mingyuan pondered for a moment while holding the small bottle, and asked, "Is this what Li Shenyi sent you?"

  Qiao Zhao did not deny it.

   This was originally the life-saving thing that Li Shenyi gave her when she parted not long ago.

  Shao Mingyuan stuffed the bottle back: "Silly girl, I don't need it."
