From here, Xia Shang has already thought about all this.
To this day, Xia Shang cannot maintain his previous stable style. He only needs to find the general outline of the Book of Heaven. As for what other thoughts Zhang Kui will have after learning the specific news, that is not something Xia Shang can consider.
Zhang Kui's expression in front of him could never be discerned, but his breathing and silence showed that he was already attracted.
After being silent for a long time, Zhang Kui suddenly asked: "This general outline of the Heavenly Book is something that everyone in the world dreams of. If we are really lucky and get this thing by coincidence, I wonder what Mr. Xia's plan is? Ultimately?
How to deal with it?”
"I know what you mean. If I really find the outline of the Book of Heaven, I won't turn my back on you. How about I make a copy of the outline of the Book of Heaven for you, and leave the rest of the original copy to me?"
Zhang Kui was stunned for a moment, looking a little surprised. Apparently he didn't expect Xia Shang to be so free and easy in this matter?
"Is that true? Mr. Xia can't you say one thing and do another?"
"Believe it or not, there's only so much I can say. If the Beggar Clan doesn't show interest, I'll think of other ways."
"Wait!" Zhang Kui's tone became firm, "We can cooperate on this matter. Knowing that Mr. Xia is willing to share the general outline of the Book of Heaven in accordance with his promise, everything will be easy to discuss."
Xia Shang nodded.
Zhang Kui turned around and made an inviting gesture, signaling Xia Shang to discuss it carefully in the back room.
Once inside, there were only two people, Xia Shang and Zhang Kui.
Xia Shang didn't hide anything and told everything he knew.
Because this matter itself is very strange, if there is any concealment, it will be very difficult to investigate the matter even with the beggar gang's informants.
After learning the specific situation, the members of the Beggar Gang began to take action.
Xia Shang returned to his mansion and waited for news.
I thought it would take some time for this matter to be discovered.
But he didn't expect to receive a message from the beggars that night.
Moreover, the news was brought by Hong Qi himself.
A disaster occurred in a medical clinic in the capital. An apprentice of the medical clinic was killed and the attending doctor disappeared.
This incident sounds like it has nothing to do with the Book of Heaven, but Hong Qi said that the one who killed the apprentice
The wound looked just like a Japanese samurai sword, and judging from the technique, it was definitely not done by an ordinary Japanese samurai. He should be someone who was quite good at swordsmanship.
The Japanese mission has left the capital, and any clues that appear to be related to the Japanese are highly questionable.
Moreover, Hong Qi was able to deliver the news in person, which shows the accuracy of the news.
After receiving the news, Xia Shang immediately followed Hong Qi and left home.
Under the guidance of Hong Qi, we flew all the way under the cover of night.
Within a quarter of an hour, Xia Shang arrived at the place where the incident occurred.
Before he arrived, Xia Shang could hear the shouts of people on the street.
When they arrived at the scene of the incident, Zhang Kui and several beggars had been standing by for a while.
They were like spectators, watching silently among the crowd.
Because it was night, there were not many people watching, just a few neighbors. Looking at the body at the door of the hospital, they could not help but shake their heads in regret.
"Hey, how can there be such cruel people in the world? You won't even spare a little medicine boy. Are you still a human being?"
"Even Divine Doctor Zhuo was taken away... This medical clinic may not have offended anyone in normal times, so how could it be treated like this?"
"It's a pity. I don't know if Mr. Miracle Doctor can come back. If we have any illness in the future, who should we go to?"
There was a lot of discussion.
Everyone seems to feel pity for this medical clinic. I guess this medical clinic without a signboard has really saved many people, right?
Xia Shang calmly squeezed into the front of the crowd and saw the body in the pool of blood at a glance.
The first thing Xia Shang noticed was not the very iconic wounds on the other party's body, but the bursts of heat emanating from the corpse.
It happened not long ago, probably within half an hour.
Xia Shang was a little surprised, shocked by the current efficiency of the Beggar Clan. Their news speed had exceeded that of the court. Up to now, not even a single officer or soldier had come around.
Xia Shang knelt down and got closer.
There was only one wound on the medicine boy's body, right at his throat. The incision was smooth and thin, but very deep.
This is the most obvious manifestation of the Japanese samurai sword.
"The person who did it is not simple..." At some point, Zhang Kui had quietly moved to Xia Shang's side, and then said calmly
He said calmly, "I didn't leave any traces. I killed a medicine boy and captured a doctor."
"Kill a medicine boy and arrest a doctor? If they are Japanese people, what's the point of doing this?" Xia Shang was a little strange.
Hong Qi added: "I found it a quarter of an hour ago. I didn't feel any breath at that time, so there was no way to track it."
Xia Shang thought deeply and wanted to say something else.
At this time, someone outside shouted: "Get out of the way, the government officials are coming."
People from the government...
Xia Shang looked back and saw at a glance through the gap the front of a group of officers and soldiers, led by Li Xiangyang in civilian clothes.
"Attention, the prince is here. Go to the medical center and see if there are any clues."
Xia Shang said in a low voice, and Hong Qi beside him immediately ducked into the medical center relying on the cover of the crowd.
Zhang Kui was still standing there, clenching his fists with both hands, as if aiming at the people coming from behind.
"what are you doing?!"
Xia Shang shouted, and then Zhang Kui quietly disappeared into the crowd.
Zhang Kui did not follow him to the medical clinic, and Xia Shang was too lazy to pay attention. He followed Hong Qi's footsteps and entered the medical clinic.
The medical center was very small, with only one front hall and one backyard. It seemed that there were only two people in the entire medical center, and no movement was felt for a long time.
The officials outside had dispersed the onlookers and seemed to be inspecting the corpse for traces.
Later, Li Xiangyang entered, and seemed to feel that someone had entered the hospital before him, and then shouted: "There is someone here."
Hearing the sound, the officials began to enter, and there was not much time left for Xia and Shang.
Xia Shang didn't want to expose himself. If Li Xiangyang led the team in person, it would prove that the other party also got some information.
The matter of the Heavenly Book has made people in the capital more and more nervous, and many people can no longer hold back.
However, there is nothing special about this medical clinic. The furnishings inside are all normal, and there is no trace of fighting left.
Only a scrap of paper that had not been burned flew out from the furnace in the inner courtyard.
Perhaps it was God's will that the scraps of paper flew directly into Xia Shang's hands as soon as they flew in the night wind.
Xia Shang took the scraps of paper and took a closer look, but he was so shocked that his scalp was numb and his eyes almost popped out of his head.
"Isn't this a small fragment of the Heavenly Book that was lost in the palace?"
