The bamboo leaves were cut off and cut into three-foot-long straight rods, and ten and a half inch-sized holes were drilled on both sides, and placed side by side under the window. In addition, five or six people are loading the lanterns in batches. These lanterns include gourds, fairy peach, bats, auspicious clouds, etc., with different shapes and similar sizes. The same thing is that there is a cylindrical gap in the middle, just fine. Insert a bamboo tube.

Right killing and clapping his hands, all the craftsmen stopped working and looked at him.

"Khan is looking at you through my eyes." This was his opening remark. Every craftsman knelt on the ground on one leg, stroked his left chest with his right hand, and hung his head.

"Many years ago, the city here was left to our ravages, and the women and cattle and sheep here were left to us. Now we are shrinking in the corner of the grassland, letting the Tang Dynasty and the Hui people enslave us. But this time, we will find our ancestors The glory of the embarrassment, starting from the tent of Bai Min Dazhen, through the snow, through the sword and arrow. Hatred is the best mount, only it takes us to Chang'an thousands of miles away. Each of us is big Khan ’s angry messenger is the flame of revenge. Now, we are like snakes digging into the hearts of our enemies and building graves with the stones of their dwellings. The sun will not shine on the enemy ’s pastures forever, and there will always be wind and snow! "

The right killer's eloquence is very good, his voice is very low, but it can make the whole room clear. Everyone is infected by his emotions.

"I just checked the progress of your manufacturing, it is not fast enough! This is not a gray top tent, not a calf car, this is the great Que Lehuo! You must work harder to complete its physical body. Its soul, also It's close to Chang'an. At sunset, the two will become one, and we will see it coming to Chang'an, devouring the city's strong age, old age, women, and children, leaving nothing from blood to bone! Your name, It will be more glorious than Khan ’s bravest brave man; your children and grandchildren will be blessed by ancestors and heroes at the same time! "

Right killing the last sentence, is roaring out. The craftsmen and wolf guards showed extremely fierce fierce glances. They did not dare to cheer loudly, but could beat their chests and stomps rhythmically, and whispered, "que Lehuo! Que Quehuo! ". Their boots stepped on the floor, making a neat boom, like a drum going south.

Cao Poyan stayed alone in the back room, and kept half-kneeling and caressing his chest, but he was not as excited as the people in the outer room, but just looked at the speech of the right killing coldly.

After finishing the final mobilization, the right kill explained a few words and left the shop.

In front of the bamboo workshop, there is a narrow alleyway leading to the street. Right killing while walking slowly, while using both hands to lift the hood from behind, covering his Turkic face, revealing the cross mark embroidered with gold thread on the back of the robe. He took another string of colored rosary beads around his neck and pinched the wooden cross in the middle with his right hand.

When he stepped onto the street, the whole person had changed his image-kind-hearted and kind-hearted, amiable, and smiled and prayed to every pedestrian who passed by: "May the merciful Lord be with you."

Quick horse galloped past, and kept throwing the fish tube towards Zhang Xiaojing. Zhang Xiaojing reached out and grabbed firmly.

At the same time, Yao Runeng also summarized the monitoring of Yuzhen Square and hurried back. The Hu people responded very quickly. After the owner left Zhang Xiaojing, he immediately sent five servants to the five businesses. Then the five firms sent people to other stores. Thanks to Yao Ru's proper scheduling, all the notified shop names were successfully collected.

Now Zhang Xiaojing has two lists in hand, one is a store with a square map, and the other is a store with close contact with Turkic people. The two suspicious lists are superimposed and compared, and the most suspicious are clear at a glance.

It is really a miracle that Jing Ansi can produce such a thing in such a short time.

"Li Sicheng is the prime minister." Zhang Xiaojing put down the list and sincerely admired. He has been a bad guy for so many years and has solved countless cases. He knows that many things do not need to search for secret stories. The truth is hidden in everyone ’s visible documents. Surgery. Li Bi deliberately concentrated a group of capable officials in the Jing'an Division and inspected the school for inspection. It was suitable for dealing with this situation at present, which shows that this person is outstanding.

Zhang Xiaojing made a gesture to Wanglou in the distance to inform the receipt, and then began to assign tasks.

A single name selected four of the most suspicious firms. Although these are all in West City, their locations are scattered. Zhang Xiaojing and Yao Runeng had to take a team of people and act separately.

Before breaking up, Yao Ru respectfully consulted the course of action. Zhang Xiaojing clenched his fists and made a fool in his heart: "Get rid of uncooperative, it's that simple."

It's not that Yao Runeng has never met a brave man at the public gate, but he has never seen such a rough handling of a case as Zhang Xiaojing. He was like a flying hammer, with no patience to pull out the gold and silver from the bottle, and simply smashed the vase. Yao Ru can have a strange feeling that even if there is no urgent limitation of time, this person will do the same.

"Do you think this is not benevolent?" Zhang Xiaojing said with sarcasm, pointing to the pedestrians around him. "Being kind to the enemy means indulging the cruelty of these people-remember, this is your first a lesson."

"But we don't know now whether they are enemies."

"The uncooperative is the enemy."

Zhang Xiaojing first went to a gold and silver shop called Xifu. The owner is from Kangguo. Although Xifudian's main business is gold and silverware, it often participates in bulk trade in the form of loans, so it will be included in the list of Jing'an.

Cao Poyan's experience when he entered the West Market was written from Kang and it was stamped with a local seal. It is not easy to get this kind of document without the relationship between Kang Guo and the upper class-you know, Kang Guo was originally a Turkic country. Although the two have been separated for a long time, who dare to guarantee the ethnic lineage? ?

Of course, this is not based on discrimination. In fact, among the four suspected firms, two are Hu people and the two are Tang people without any prejudice. The Jing'an Division is different from Hongyun Temple, and has always used the greatest maliciousness to speculate on anyone.

Xifu shop is located at the northwest corner of the third cross street in Xishi. This is a prime location and the most prosperous place for the intersection of various roads. The weather in front of this house is quite different from that of others. Both sides are two-armed pillars, all painted with a bright black background, and embedded with a circle of circle dragon patterns. Zhang Xiaojing lifted the curtain and stepped into the shop.

The shop is quiet and there are no guests. As soon as he entered the door, he was stopped by a meniscus-shaped high wooden platform. The stand is just a little taller than ordinary people, and can only barely see the empty table, but can not see the situation behind the table. He shook a copper bell hanging beside him, and soon an old man with a beard with goat hair protruded from behind the stage. He looked down at him with no expression on his face.

"Cash or money?" The old man asked dryly, his tone very bad.

Zhang Xiaojing tapped the index finger and **** lightly three times on the countertop, showing the waist card: "Guanfu Office. Are you the shopkeeper?"

The old man nodded.

Zhang Xiaojing said bluntly: "We now suspect that the Xifudian store Chang'anfang map, colluding with the Turkic disabled party, need to search."

This accusation was very serious, but the shopkeeper did not show any expression, and slowly replied: "The shop is doing gold and silver business, there is no private store map, and never actively colluded with the Turks." The words are very fluent, without any accent.

"Then it took the captain to search for it."

The wrinkle on the shopkeeper's face twitched and stared at Zhang Xiaojing, saying: "The old man is very familiar with Jing Zhaoyin, you may wish to ask his old man first."

This kind of gold and silver shop has a loan relationship with many bureaucrats in North Korea and China. A fierce light flashed in Zhang Xiaojing's eyes, and he was about to use strong force. Suddenly a bad person broke in in panic.

"Zhang Duwei, there is yellow smoke outside!" He shouted.

Zhang Xiaojing frowned and immediately turned to open the curtain and went out. Many pedestrians on the street outside the shop have stopped, pointing towards the sky to the northwest. He looked up and saw two plumes of smoke rising in the distance. One is thick black smoke, and the other is a slightly lighter yellow smoke. The two are intertwined with each other, rising upright, very striking in the clear sky.

In that direction, Yao Ru was able to search the distant store. Yuanlai Shangzhan is an industry of Shule merchants. It mainly deals in large-scale cattle, sheep and sheep business, and has a closer relationship with the Turkic Turf.

Huang Yan was sent by a cigarette pill carried by Jing'an Division. If he sees the smoke like an enemy, he must immediately gather for aid. Yao Ru was very capable and brought seven or eight bad people. He raised yellow smoke, indicating that he must have encountered a hard stubble.

Zhang Xiaojing immediately summoned the bad people around and ran to the aid in that direction. Running across a street, Zhang Xiaojing suddenly stopped, and the person behind him was confiscated for a while, almost hitting him.

A trace of doubt flashed in Zhang Xiaojing's mind.

He suddenly thought of what the Xifu shop owner said, and he became more suspicious. "There is no such thing as a private house map, and I have never actively colluded with the Turks."-No active collusion, then passively cope with it?

If you think about it this way, the old man mentioned that Jingzhao Yinshi's tone was slightly unnatural. Is it suggesting the newspaper officer?

Zhang Xiaojing gave a slap and patted his cheek with his palm in annoyance. This is how long he has been in prison, and he has been dull to this point. If you change to the past, I am afraid that something is wrong on the spot.

"You continue to support Yao Runeng, I will go back and see."

Zhang Xiaojing turned around immediately and ran back to the Xifu shop at an alarming speed. At the door of the shop, he pulled out the inch crossbow with a "slap", laid it flat on the left elbow, buckled the hanging knife with his right hand, and stepped in.

The shop is still very quiet, this time the old man did not look out to greet him. Zhang Xiaojing glanced cautiously, and then walked to the end of the platform where it was connected to the column, kicked the small door on the side, and broke in sideways-the front of the inch crossbow, always aligned with the direction of the table.

Behind the stage, Zhang Xiaojing saw the old man leaning against the foot pad next to the wooden wall, his head swayed softly to the side, and his eyes widened. Zhang Xiaojing squatted down in the past and reached for his neck. He found that the old man had lost his breath. He turned the body over and saw a deep wound on his back waist.

Obviously, when the old man talked to Zhang Xiaojing just now, there was another person standing behind the stage, holding a sharp weapon against his back. The old man dared not call for help, but could only remind by various hints. It's a pity that Zhang Xiaojing was negligent for a while, so that he was brutally killed.

Zhang Xiaojing's eyes flicked, and he made the crossbow flatter and walked towards the back of the shop. From the moment he left until now, it is not yet time for Xiao Banxiang, and the murderer may not have left yet.

Behind the high platform is a slightly messy long room. In the middle of the room is a plan of Zhang, with a few rolls of account books, a small scale and a shear. Around the circle of high and low sandalwood racks, filled with all kinds of gold and silver objects, each piece shined brightly. On the floor were more than a dozen large boxes of Mongolian animal skins with embroidered horns, and several of them were half-open with lids, so you could get a glimpse of the golden coins of the countries.

In addition to the gold and silver business, the Xifu shop also has a business of currency exchange. The gold and silver coins in Daqin, Persia, Dashi and other places can be converted into Datang copper coins and silks, and vice versa, so there will be IWC Spring goods converge.

Several buddies and Hu Ding's bodies lay between these money. They were all knives in their hearts, so that there was not much bleeding, and the **** smell was not easy to be noticed by outsiders.

Zhang Xiaojing walked through this mess, and probably can restore the scene at that time: the Turkic Wolf Guard broke into the store, and immediately killed the guys in the store. It happened that he entered the store, and the Wolf Guard forced the owner to pass through. As soon as he left, he immediately killed the shopkeeper.

This wolf guard was even more brutal than Jing Anji had estimated, and he did not intend to negotiate peacefully from the beginning.

Zhang Xiaojing took a deep breath and saw a false door at the end of the long room. A square lock that had been opened was hung on the door, and a key with a flower handle was inserted in the keyhole. This should be a small room in the Xifu store where valuables are collected. Zhang Xiaojing walked to the door, pulled the doorknob, and pulled it out first. Without moving, he could only push in. But he pushed gently, and felt a little resistance, and then a series of clanging sounds of goldware came from the door.

Zhang Xiaojing screamed badly and hurriedly opened the door to see. It turned out that there was a series of steps extending downwards, leading to the cellar at the bottom of the store. At the bottom of the steps was a fallen chrysanthemum calendula. The intruder was obviously experienced and placed a gold object in the door. If someone pushes the door in and Calendula rolls down, an alarm can be issued immediately.

Zhang Xiaojing tightened the crossbow again, and then stepped down the steps step by step. After walking to the bottom, there was a narrow channel in front of me, and I turned a bend in front to see the faint candlelight. He leaned against the wall, slowly stretched the crossbow first, and then jumped in suddenly.

There was no one in the room, only a candle lit on the wall. Through the dim candlelight, Zhang Xiaojing saw that the room was not large and there were not many objects, but all of them were boutique products, shining brightly under the candlelight. Zhang Xiaojing lowered his head and saw a gilt tea fairy with a crane pattern on the floor. The drawer was half drawn out, and the inside was empty.

"Damn!" Zhang Xiaojing whispered in a low voice. Obviously, the shopkeeper hid the secret of Fang Tu in Cha Luozi, but was found by Wolf Guard.

This is not good news.

At the other end of the room, a flying tapestry hung down halfway, and behind the wall was a dark hole, which could accommodate a cat's waist. This is the secret way the shop owner repaired for himself. These merchants have always been cunning rabbit caves. It is estimated that the intruder immediately escaped from this underpass after hearing the alarm.

Zhang Xiaojing rushed towards the hole and suddenly stepped away, took off his robe and wrapped it into a ball, throwing it into the hole first. At almost the same instant, a rubber band suddenly sounded in the hole, and then a crossbow arrow flew out, centering on the outer robe. Zhang Xiaojing raised his hand with impatience, and the crossbow fired a shot into the hole, then quickly filled the arrow and pulled the string, and made another shot.

The people in the cave are meticulous and deliberately do not extinguish the candles in the room, ambushing inside the cave. If a chaser rushed to the hole and blocked the candlelight, it became the best target. However, the crossbow machines were single shots. Zhang Xiaojing used his robe to discard his arrows and took the lead. He was not allowed to refill the string and make up two arrows-in such a narrow hole, it was almost impossible to hide.
