Chapter 80: Squatting (Thanks to Hall Master Qing Chen)
Ma Zhou was not only unwilling to give in, he was about to explode with anger. Not only did he fail Liu Jing's trust, but the murderer also escaped from under his nose. This was particularly annoying. The two even met each other, but he actually lost him.
If he couldn't catch Wu Xian, how could he have the dignity to stay in the market? Now he wanted to grab his sword and rush directly into Wu Ju's mansion.
Ma Zhou's chest heaved violently, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Jun, you are a hundred times smarter than us, do you have a way to catch Mr. Wu?"
Liu Jing said: "Although I have never been to Wu Ju's house, I think given his status, the scale of the house must be quite large. Even if we get the approval of the emperor and are allowed to enter his house to search, it will probably be difficult to catch Mr. Wu."
Ma Zhou's anger surged up again, and he said angrily: "Can't we just let it go?"
Liu Jing looked directly at Ma Zhou and asked, "Zi Jin, do you have to catch him with your own hands?"
Ma Zhou said categorically: "Yes. If I don't catch him with my own hands, I won't be able to calm down."
Liu Jing nodded lightly and said, "Then you can go and stay overnight outside the Wu Mansion."
Ma Zhou was startled when he heard this and asked: "Mr. Liu thinks Mr. Wu will escape from the Wu Mansion tonight?"
Liu Jing shook his head and said: "It can only be said that if he escapes, the probability is the highest tonight. Or he may stay all night without success. Does Zi Jin want to go?"
"Of course I want to go." Ma Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "If it doesn't work for one day, then stay for ten days. If it doesn't work for ten days, then stay for a hundred days. I don't believe he can hide there for the rest of his life."
Liu Zhu said: "Brother Ma, I will accompany you tonight. I also know Mr. Wu, and when it comes to ambushes and crouching, there should be no one better than me."
"It would be great to have Wenxiu help me," Ma Zhou said happily.
He knows nothing about this and can easily be discovered, but Liu Zhu is a professional and can definitely help him a lot.
Liu Zhu was smart and knew how to advance and retreat. With him following Ma Zhou, Liu Jing immediately felt relieved. He finally told the two of them: "Be careful. If something goes wrong, retreat temporarily. If you don't catch me this time, you will catch me next time."
that is."
Ma Zhou responded perfunctorily.
Liu Zhu respectfully said: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, this subordinate will be spared."
Seriously, Xie Liang looked at each other and continued to remain silent.
…………
So Laoli, Wu Mansion.
Numerous candlelights made the lobby as bright as day. Wu Juan sat at the main seat with a gloomy face. He was over thirty years old, with a black face and beard, and his eyes were like lightning, which made him quite powerful.
"Brother Cong..." Mr. Wu, who has been talked about a lot in the city, is sitting below. He is about 20 years old, and his face does not look vicious. It is hard to imagine that he would kill people in the city. In fact, it was all because of alcohol.
Misfortune, he got into an argument with someone while drunk and killed someone in anger. He secretly vowed never to touch a drop of alcohol again from now on.
Wu Ju was silent for a long time before he said, "Are you really planning to leave as soon as the rooster crows tomorrow and the inner door opens?"
Wu Xian smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Cong should also know what kind of person Liu Zhongda is. He will not let me go just for the sake of brother Cong. I can't stay any longer and must escape from Linxiang as soon as possible."
Wu Ju frowned and said, "I've heard about Liu Zhongda for a long time, but so what? As long as you stay in my home, I'll keep you safe."
Wu Xian shook his head and said: "You can't hide in brother Cong's house for the rest of your life, right? Today Liu Zhongda returns home from sleep. Tomorrow morning may be my only chance to escape. If I miss it, it will be difficult to leave in the future."
Wu Ju knew that he had a strong intention, so he stopped trying to persuade him and said, "Then you can take care of yourself. I will send someone to take you out of the city tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, Brother Cong."
At the same time, Ma Zhou and Liu Zhu quietly came to their hometown. The people living here were either rich or noble, with well-matched mansions and stately doors.
Liu Zhu looked around as he walked and saw no one behind him, so he pulled Ma Zhou over the wall and entered a house opposite Wu Ju. Liu Zhu pressed his back tightly against the corner of the wall and smeared medicinal powder on his body.
Ma Zhou was very curious and asked: "Wenxiu, what is this?"
"Anthelmintic medicine." Liu Zhu replied as he applied it to Ma Zhou.
At this time, the dog kept in captivity in this house seemed to have smelled the smell of the medicinal powder, and rushed over. Just when the dog was about to bark, Liu Zhu just whistled and made it quiet down. Then he took out the dried meat and stroked it a few times, completely gaining the dog's trust.
.
Ma Zhou looked on, dumbfounded. If it were him, the only way would be to kill the dog, and in all likelihood, he would be exposed.
Seeing the admiration on Ma Zhou's face, Liu Zhu chuckled and said, "They are all trivial things, not worth mentioning."
"Does Wenxiu know about 'roosters crowing and dogs robbers'?" Ma Zhou has liked to listen to people telling ancient stories since he was a child. He has a lot of good stories. Now that he had nothing to do, he told Liu Zhu one by one.
The two of them leaned against the wall, talking and listening, and didn't stop until late at night. Seeing Ma Zhou's eyelids fighting up and down, Liu Zhu said with a smile: "Brother Ma, please get some sleep first."
"It's okay, I'm not sleepy." Ma Zhou tried to be brave, but unfortunately he fell asleep within half an hour. By the time Liu Zhu shook him awake, the sky had become a little brighter.
Liu Zhu made a silent gesture towards him and whispered: "I just noticed something moving in the Wu Mansion, so I went in to investigate, and sure enough I saw Mr. Wu. He had already prepared his carriage and horses and was ready to leave the Wu Mansion.
.Liu Jun is really clever at predicting things."
"Ah?" Ma Zhou immediately said anxiously: "If he leaves in a car, how can we catch up with him?"
"Let's leave now, get out of the old village in front of him, and intercept him outside." After saying that, Liu Zhu put Ma Zhou up on the wall, and followed closely behind him. The two of them pressed against the wall and walked in quickly.
Go to the door.
Li Zheng saw that although the two of them looked unfamiliar, they were wearing official uniforms, so he didn't ask any questions.
Ma Zhou and Liu Zhu had just left the old village when they heard the sound of wheels rolling behind them. They exchanged glances and quietly retreated to the side of the inner door, pretending to avoid the vehicle.
When the carriage drove out of the inner door, before it could speed up, Ma Zhou swooped up and pulled the horrified coachman out of the carriage.
Ma Zhou grabbed the reins and stopped the carriage. He immediately unsheathed his sword and picked up the curtain in front of the carriage with the tip of his sword. He found three men with swords sitting inside, one of whom was Wu Xian.
Ma Zhou was not afraid at all, and raised his disorderly and unruly eyebrows: "Mr. Wu, do you know who I am? Just come out and capture me without mercy."
Wu Xian was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, but he didn't want to surrender. The two companions also held the hilts of their swords. They didn't want a dagger to suddenly pierce through the side window and pierce one of them through the heart. It was Liu Zhu who made the move, and not only did he strike first.
He is strong and goes straight to the point, which can be described as ruthless.
Ma Yiyi was stunned, but he didn't have any womanly kindness. He rushed into the carriage and severely injured the other man's right arm in just two blows, losing the ability to resist. Wu Xian saw that one of the two helpers was dead and the other was injured, and he was so frightened that he quickly abandoned his sword.
surrender.
He is a descendant of the Wu family, a wealthy family in Changsha. As long as he is not immediately sentenced to abandoning the market after being caught, he has room for maneuver and there is no need to risk his life.
