I have a long pupil

Chapter 24 The murderer shows his whereabouts

"Is it really here?"

Senior brother Yang was surprised, and also lay on the crack of the door to observe.

The man poked his head out, looked around, saw that there was no one on the street, and walked out cautiously.

This guy is tall and wide-armed, with a full face and small eyes, and he is dressed inconspicuously.

He lowered his head, walked quickly, came to the opposite courtyard, knocked a few times, and said in a low voice: "Father, it's me."

The wooden door creaked open.

The person who opened the door was an old man, dressed in coarse cloth and green, with a stooped figure, full of white hair, and leaning on a cane.

"You bastard, you still know how to come back?!"

The old man was furious, and beat him fiercely with his crutches.

The man didn't dodge either, let the crutches hit him, went straight into the courtyard, looked around, and then closed the door.

Yu Ziqing turned his head quickly.

Brother Yang immediately understood behind him, without saying a word, he gently pushed the door and went out, rushed to the side alley of the small courtyard, hid in the shadows, and listened attentively.

There were constant quarrels in the courtyard.

"You bastard, did you go to borrow money to gamble again? The bad people in Jingzhao Mansion came to collect debts, and they robbed all the remaining property."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...what did I do to give birth to you such a debt collector

"Father, don't worry, what is this?"

"You... where did you get so much money, did you do something wrong?"

"Don't ask too many questions. My child has urgent matters. You can take the money first and help me pay off the debt. If you want to drink and eat meat, you can buy whatever you want."

"What the hell did you do?"

"Father, don't worry, after this year, our family will never have to worry about food and drink."

"That's it, I'm leaving."

"and many more…"

Ignoring his father's call, the man went out, looked around, saw no one around, and turned into the alley in a hurry.

When he came to the wall of the square, he took out a hemp rope covered with an iron hook from his arms, swung it around a few times, hooked it to the top of the wall, and climbed up.

In the darkness in the distance, Senior Brother Yang slowly appeared, and when he saw the other party go around the wall, he followed closely, hanging in the distance...

Soon, night falls.

Yu Ziqing walked up and down anxiously in the courtyard.

The two of them searched for two days, and found out that the two bullies who were hanging out with Xiao San had been missing for many days.

One of them, Wang Cheng, was originally a loner, and he even carried a lawsuit and stayed away all day.

And this one named Zhou Qing had an old father who worked hard to bring him up by delivering hot water for others.

Although Zhou Qing is a jerk, he is also somewhat filial.

This guy owed money to the gambling shop, and the boss of the gambling shop couldn't catch him, so he sued Jingzhao Mansion with a piece of paper.

Behind the gambling house are the sons of the two servants, and bad people naturally come to harass them every day.

Sure enough, Zhou Qing finally showed up.

Yu Ziqing was anxious, Xiao San hid it too deeply, if Senior Brother Yang was lost, it would be even more difficult to find it...

In this way, he waited until late at night.

The hunger was rising in my belly, but I couldn't take care of other things. Fortunately, I had already entrusted my neighbor to deliver food to the blind old lady.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Yu Ziqing hurriedly opened the door, saw Senior Brother Yang with a dusty face, and hurriedly asked, "Looked for... found it?"

"found it!"

Senior Brother Yang was also full of excitement, but he was about to speak, but shook his head, "I'm going back to Tiandimen, and I'll take you to Jixianfang along the way, so don't interfere in this matter."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Yu Ziqing's eyes, but he didn't dare to disobey, and cupped his hands and said, "I'll follow my senior brother's orders."

Upon seeing this, Senior Brother Yang smiled and said, "Don't think that I want to be greedy for your credit. It's just that in the future, it's not like us youngsters can intervene."

"Teach you a good boy, fight when you should fight, and stay away from what you shouldn't fight. You still have an old lady at home, and living well is better than anything else."

As he spoke, he said in a low voice: "To tell the truth, this matter is the private work of Daoist Cui in our sect."

"He has a very high seniority. Although he has a dissolute personality and makes the younger generation look down on him, the old people in power will give him a little face."

"Chemen has a shop in Jixianfang, and the shopkeeper, Senior Brother Yan, is already old. You go and work as an apprentice for a few years, and if you have the ability, you can take over the shop..."

Yu Ziqing quickly cupped his hands, "Thank you, brother."

He knew that this was the reward.

But there is always some unwillingness in my heart, my own strength is still too weak, and I can't do it even if I want to use my strength to take revenge.

But it's okay, finally started...

…………

The bright moon hangs high, and the night wind is slightly cold.

"Brother Biao, are you really going to marry Hou Kun?"

Wang Xin, who was on patrol, asked suddenly.

Zhang Biao got angry and was in a good mood, jokingly said: "It's no harm to take a trip, the surname Hou just bought a big house, and he happened to go to eat a big family."

Tie Shouming said with a blank expression: "This guy acts dissolutely. I heard that he even invited Su Wanniang, a famous prostitute from Baihualou, to perform on the big day."

"Su Wanniang?!"

Wang Xin's eyes suddenly brightened, "I heard that this person is worth a lot, Brother Biao, can you take me there?"

Zhang Biao laughed, "Okay, let's all go there and see for ourselves."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said: "It's getting late, it seems that there is nothing to do tonight, you go back first, and I will go back to sleep after making a round of inspection."

"Lord be careful."

Saying goodbye to the two, Zhang Biao immediately turned into a secluded place, changed into night clothes, and jumped up the wall of the workshop with the help of the hook.

He had figured out Liu Changkong's inspection route, and after avoiding it, he went straight to Jing'anfang.

Turning into the alley on the east side of the square wall, his pupils suddenly shrank, and there was a lotus pattern on it.

Originally, he just came over to have a look, but he didn't expect the old man to find someone so quickly.
It can't be a trap...

Thoughtful, Zhang Biao jumped onto the wall of the workshop.

Sure enough, the veteran Cui Tiezui was waiting in the alley where they met before.

Zhang Biao was not in a hurry, he first checked his surroundings, and when he saw that there was no ambush, he jumped down.

Hearing the wind on his clothes, Cui Laodao turned around quickly, saw the familiar ghost face, stepped forward to cup his hands, and said flatteringly, "I've seen the fairy elder."

"I'm not some fairy elder."

Zhang Biao lowered his voice, "Have you found someone?"

Cui Laodao quickly took out a folded note from his bosom, "I live up to the trust of the elder, that Xiao San is hiding here."

Zhang Biao took it, spread it out and frowned, "West Market...Are you sure?"

Cui Laodao hehe said: "Of course, on the ground of Yujing City, the poor Taoist is still somewhat capable."

"Thank you."

Zhang Biao nodded and prepared to leave.

It's almost dawn now, so I just went to step on the spot during the day, and if it's really there, I'll find a chance to solve it.

"The fairy stays!"

Cui Laodao was in a hurry when he saw this, he quickly bowed and said: "Poverty Dao, this is considered hard work, and the immortal elder has great virtue, so he can't just walk away."

Zhang Biao frowned, "What do you want?"

Cui Laodao immediately wiped away tears when he heard the words, "The poor Taoist is dying, and the youth is no longer, I just ask the fairy to give the elixir to prolong life."

Zhang Biao shook his head, "If there is such a thing, I will eat it myself."

Cui Laodao rolled his eyes, and suddenly knelt on the ground with a plop, "I also hope that the head of the fairy will accept me as an apprentice and teach the immortal method, and the apprentice will be on the front and back, and honor you old man..."

"Get up quickly!"

Zhang Biao suddenly had a headache when he saw it.

This old guy has a thick skin, no matter how old he is, he kneels when he says he wants to, without hesitation.

He originally wanted to turn his head and leave, but then he thought about it, Cui Laodao was well informed and would be useful in the future, so it's better to stabilize it first.

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao said in a deep voice: "You are deeply in my heart for your work, and it is not impossible to teach the magic, but the law is not lightly taught, and it needs to be tested."

Cui Laodao was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Despite the orders of the immortal master, I will go through fire and water..."

"You don't need to take risks."

Zhang Biao said thoughtfully: "I need a batch of high-quality medicinal materials for alchemy. This is the first test."

"Don't worry, Immortal Master, it's easy to handle."

Cui Laodao nodded quickly, and then said embarrassedly: "It's just that I wholeheartedly seek the Tao, and I'm ashamed..."

Zhang Biao was speechless, "I don't have any money, if I have to spend money to buy it, it's nothing like a test."

"what?"

Cui Laodao was dumbfounded.

Seeing that Zhang Biao turned to leave, he felt unwilling, rolled his eyes, and hurriedly said: "This... I will definitely find a way to get it, and I will notify the immortal master with a lotus talisman at that time."

Zhang Biao nodded, turned around and disappeared into the darkness except the dark alley...

Cui Laodao stayed where he was, his face suddenly turned bitter, "Mother, I'm a poor man, how can I have money, that's all, I have to find a way, I can't miss the opportunity..."

…………

"West Market...Wang Family Dyeing Workshop."

When Zhang Biao returned home, he checked the note again by candlelight. His eyes were full of doubts, and he murmured, "Although it's easier to hide in the dark under the lamp, wouldn't it be safer to go to the manor outside the city?"

"You fellow Xiao San, what are you doing hiding in West Market..."
