Chapter 86 is very interesting

In front of the Honglu Pavilion.

I saw the guards in front of the restaurant looking at the Laishun Tavern in the distance from time to time...
I only heard a guard say: "Why is it so strange, I haven't seen Shopkeeper Liu open the door until now."

Another guard also said: "Yes, the door is usually opened early, and I can still have breakfast there. What's going on today?"

Another guard also said: "Isn't the door closed all the time today? Then what about our lunch and dinner!"

The guard just now continued: "No way! I didn't even eat breakfast today!"

Another guard said, "Why don't we go and have a look? There's no food here, but it's a big deal!"

One of the guards heard the words and said: "Okay, then I'll go and have a look, you guys keep watch."

"Okay, you go quickly, Boss Liu is still awake, wake him up quickly, don't miss the meal time."

"Yes, you go quickly."

I saw the guard just now running back and forth to the tavern quickly...
"Knock...knock...knock..." I saw the guard knocking on the door vigorously and shouting: "Shopkeeper Liu...Shopkeeper Liu...Treasurer Liu..."

After a long time, no one in the tavern got up to open the door, only the guard frowned, no one was there?its not right!Shopkeeper Liu has always been in charge of the meals at Honglu Pavilion. If shopkeeper Liu wants to travel far, he must notify Honglu Pavilion to change the store.not good!Could something have happened!
The guard immediately raised his leg and kicked the wooden door desperately... After a while, the wooden door of the tavern was kicked open, and the guard ran in immediately, only to see that the tavern was empty. Run to the innermost house...

At this moment, I saw the two innermost rooms in a mess, all the objects in the house were broken, and there were many whip marks on the wall... not good!problem occurs!

I saw the guards running towards the Honglu Pavilion immediately...
"No, something happened at Laishun Tavern!"

"What happened?"

"There are traces of fighting in the room of shopkeeper Liu and the buddy, and everyone is gone."

"Ah! Then I'll go and talk to Master Registrar."

"Okay, that's it. Then I'll report to the inspector of the city. I don't know if anyone was killed?"

Seeing Ma Cheng Duwei who was walking over at this moment, he immediately stepped forward when he heard the words, bowed and said: "Brothers, where did you say that someone died?"

As soon as the guards looked at the person, their eyes lit up: "It turned out to be Master Ma Duwei! You came just in time. Come on, go and have a look. There are signs of fighting in the Laishun Tavern, and the shopkeeper and clerk inside are gone."

Ma Cheng was shocked when he heard this, what a coincidence!He bowed and said: "Okay, please let this elder brother show you the way."

Lai Shun Tavern.

Ma Cheng looked at everything in the house, his eyes full of doubts, the deep whip marks showed that the person who used the whip had deep inner strength.Moreover, the whip marks seemed to be drawn from the outside to the inside of the room, so the person holding the whip should be standing at the innermost part of the room.This is the shopkeeper Liu Quan's room. What happened at night, the bed is just inside, so the person standing inside should be Liu Quan. Liu Quan was sleeping soundly, when the attacker broke in, Liu Quan immediately fought back with a whip !A tavern keeper with such good martial arts!
But now there is not a single corpse here. If the attacker is defeated, Liu Quan will not take care of the corpse since he wants to run away quickly. Then, there is only one possibility, Liu Quan is defeated!

Ma Cheng was startled in an instant, Liu Quan's martial arts were already so high, and there was no blood in the house, so it could be seen that Liu Quan was hit by the attacker while swinging his whip, so this attacker's martial arts was so high!
Ma Cheng suddenly remembered that the person who used the mountain wall to break through the roof was startled again. Could it be that the two night attacks were done by the same group of people!It seems that the emperor is getting more and more restless!I am afraid······

After a long time, Ma Cheng bowed to the guard and said, "Thank you, brother. The guards in the capital have seen the scene and will arrange for someone to come and deal with it immediately."

"Okay, Mr. Ma, you take care of it, then I'll go back first." The guard bowed and saluted.

Ma Cheng said again: "Brother, wait a moment. When I came in, I saw that everything was intact except for the kicked open door. Then how did you find this place?"

The guard replied: "Lord Ma, Laishun Tavern is responsible for the lunch and dinner meals of our Honghe Pavilion. Normally, shopkeeper Liu opens the door early, but today he has not opened the door. I came to remind me and knocked on the door." No one opened the door all the time, so I kicked the door open because I was afraid of accidents, and found this place."

It's the Honglu Hall again!Ma Cheng was shocked when he heard this!
Zhu asked again: "Brother, may I ask if there is a handyman in your Honglu Hall who has not yet arrived in the hall today."

The guard was surprised when he heard this: "Lord Ma, how do you know? There is one, Zhou Da who is in charge of the dining room. We are still talking about it. After breakfast today, the dining room has not been cleaned up."

Ma Cheng asked again: "Excuse me, Zhou Da, how long have you been working as a handyman in the Honglu Pavilion?"

The guard heard that he wanted to come, and replied: "Master Ma, I have been in the Honglu House for two years. When I came, this Zhou University was here. When is the specific time, Lord Ma may have to ask the Master Registrar. .”

Ma Cheng heard the words and replied: "Okay, if necessary, I will go to the Master Registrar again."

"Okay, Mr. Ma, then I'll go back to the Honghe Pavilion first." The guard bowed and saluted.

"I'm sorry." Ma Cheng nodded and replied.

Looking at the two messy rooms, Ma Cheng frowned, both of them are related to the Honglu Hall!It seems that the matter is not that simple!Should we check it out?Maybe there will be more things and more forces involved in it!Maybe these are not what I can afford at all!It seems that I still have to ask...
Jinxiu Pavilion of Marquis Mansion of Wu'an.

Wei Mo is reporting...
Xiao Jinxi who was on the pear flower bed smiled when he heard the words, and praised without hesitation: "Oh, this Ma Cheng Duwei is so powerful, you can see so many things in a fight scene! It seems that this person can sit on the Duwei at a young age. A job, there is some ability. This person is friendly to the people, and he has this ability, which is very interesting."

Wei Mo replied after hearing the words: "Indeed. I just heard that Ma Cheng went to the Honglu Hall. According to his ability, the subordinates estimate that he can see that the two night raids were carried out by the same group of people."

Xiao Jinxi smiled meaningfully and said, "It's okay. Whether you can see it is one thing, but whether you dare to investigate is another. If this Ma Cheng dares to investigate, then I will have to look at this person again. .”

Wei Mo asked suspiciously: "Master, what do you mean?"

Only Xiao Jinxi said slowly: "He is a patrolling city guard, and his duty is only to patrol the imperial capital. What's more, there are no dead people at the scene, no more disturbances to the people, and no one to report the crime. Then why did he go deep into the city?" Check. In this imperial capital, the center of imperial power is full of people in power from all walks of life. There are so many things in it that he can't handle alone. If he dares to investigate, then this person may not be simple."

"Master, should we arrange someone to watch Ma Cheng?" Wei Mo asked.

Xiao Jinxi shook his head, and replied: "No, this person's detection ability is very powerful, and the person who pursues him is not enough in martial arts, so it is very likely that his whereabouts will be leaked. Don't worry, just wait."

Wei Mo bowed and replied, "Yes, master."
