Chapter 88 Rumors(1/2)
West of the city.
It was already half a morning when Du Yong woke up.
After getting up, she pushed the door open and Lingling did not come to serve her as usual. Du Yong couldn't help but feel a little strange, but she didn't care too much.
I moved my body a little in the corridor, and then fed water to wash myself.
The familiar sound of sword training was still heard from the Intermediate Court. Yang Jin was always so diligent, but compared with usual, the pace was faster. It is conceivable that Yang Jin should be quite excited at this time.
It's really worth excitement.
Because the implementation of "Turning Tiger and Wolf" last night was very good.
More than a dozen patrol guards fought with more than a dozen strong men from Pei Huo Alliance for a full half-quarters of an hour, extremely fierce.
The battle was not overwhelming until another patrol team arrived at the scene.
Only two strong men from Pei Huo Alliance escaped, and all the others were killed in battle, including Ruan Peng's three helpers, the patrolmen were all lottery-loving, and several others were seriously injured and dying, and the streets were dyed red.
Du Yong and Yang Jin did not participate directly. The former hid in the dark and sent copper beads several times, while the latter stood on the roof and shouted a few times, which had a very good catalytic effect. It was not until the time was almost done that he ran away.
"Brother Yang, it's so early!" Du Yong walked to the schoolyard of the Intermediate People's Court and greeted Yang Jin.
"Good morning!" Yang Jin put his sword in the sheath, took up the towel on the stone table, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, and then picked up the kettle and poured it into it.
“This year, it’s very hot.”
After Yang Jin poured half a pot of water, he still felt very hot, so he took off his outer robe and sat on the stone bench to fan the air with his hands.
"Didn't it mean that masters who climb the tower are invincible for cold and heat?" Du Yong sat next to him.
"It's okay to resist cold, but it's just the same as heat. After strenuous activities, you can sweat." Yang Jin explained.
Du Yong picked up the half pot of water, held it in the palm of his hand, and after a while, he handed it to Yang Jin.
When Yang Jin saw ice flowers floating inside, he was amazed: "Your Han Jin is simply evil. If you have practiced the seal engraving realm of Han Jin, it will take at least half a quarter of an hour to freeze."
After saying that, I raised my head and drank it all, and the cold feeling spread from my throat and spread throughout my body.
"Just get used to it."
Du Yong shrugged and asked, "Have you seen Lingling?"
Yang Jin put down the kettle, shouted happily, and then replied: "Because I was afraid that she would disturb you to rest or see the clues, I asked her to go out to buy medicine."
Du Yong shook his head and sighed: "The medicines I bought these days can support a small medicine shop, right?"
Yang Jin chuckled: "Who made your internal injuries not healed? But this reason is really useful, both internally and externally. So, you have to persevere, not heal."
Du Yong laughed in silence.
It’s okay to persevere, it’s common to take care of internal injuries for a year or two.
After talking, Yang Jin talked about the serious matter: "Last night's luck is good, so try to do less of this kind of thing in the future."
Du Yong nodded.
I did have a certain luck last night, and I caught the opportunity well and the provocation was considered in place, but the most important thing is that the recent disappearance case has been very serious, and the patrolmen are somewhat sensitive, and the big men have all drunk wine and are not so calm.
Yang Jin reminded again: "Your copper beads can't be used again lately."
This is natural, and Du Yong can't help but feel a pity. The copper beads are quite good.
What should I change to? The flying knife should be good.
Li Xunhuan, regardless of his personality and style of work, the flying knife is really good, so Du Yong also wants to give it a try.
Du Yong laughed and said, "Ruan Peng's three helpers are dead. What are the consequences of Ruan Peng?"
Speaking of this topic, Yang Jin was also very happy: "At least, he would be arrested and interrogated, and he might be involved in the second house. But it depends on how the fight last night was determined. Just wait and see, there should be a result soon, and maybe it will cause a big sensation again."
Du Yong nodded.
Yang Jin said curiously: "What trick did you use last night? It made the patrol team so angry."
Du Yong replied: "Stand on the roof and pee, pee on their heads, then scolded them, threw tiles and smashed two people, and finally told them to ask their brother for help..."
Yang Jin couldn't help laughing: "No wonder it smelled like that at that time. I thought who had wet his pants."
Things caused a sensation last night.
As soon as Lingling came back, she ran to Du Yong and chattered: "Young master, young master, something big happened in the south of the city last night."
Du Yongzheng and Yang Jin made breakfast together. Seeing Lingling's sweaty look, he handed a cup of tea: "What's the matter with such an impatient person?"
Lingling drank happily and blinked: "Why don't you guess?"
Du Yong lowered his head and drank porridge: "I can't guess... Butler Yang guessed."
"A big incident happened in the south of the city?" Yang Jin put down his chopsticks and pretended to think seriously: "But what clues have been found in the missing case?"
Lingling shook her head: "Not right...and it can't be said that it's wrong, maybe it's related."
Du Yong smiled and said, "Don't keep it a secret, what's the matter?"
Lingling said mysteriously: "There was a bloody battle in the south of the city last night... Why are you two not surprised?"
"So surprised, so surprised!"
Du Yong and Yang Jin quickly widened their eyes and patted their chests, with a perfunctory attitude.
Lingling was angry about it and bulged her cheeks and didn't speak.
Du Yong laughed and said, "Miss Ling, it's just a bloody battle. We have participated in several times."
Yang Jin sat upright: "Lingling, let's talk about it in detail, and it's worth being surprised if it's worth it."
Lingling then explained in detail: "The patrol team caught a group of gangs and killed more than a dozen."
Yang Jin said oh, nodded and said, "That's really a big deal. Do you know who it is?"
Lingling was silent for a while and said carefully: "It is said that three of the bandits are the helpers of the second housekeeper Ruan."
"What?"
Du Yong and Yang Jin frowned at the same time, looking like they were scared and pretended to be that way.
Lingling muttered softly: "Just say you will be surprised."
Du Yong made a few gestures, wanting to ask something, but he didn't ask, and looked at it at a loss.
"Young man, don't panic!"
Yang Jin first comforted him, and then asked Lingling: "Who said the helper around Ruan Peng? Can you confirm?"
Lingling shook her head and sighed: "Although it's a rumor, it's not a trivial matter. Many people say that this matter is related to the second master, and some are involved in the marquis. However, the government has not made any statement yet, and only posted a notice, which roughly described the fight last night."
Du Yong stood up: "I have to rush to the Marquis' Mansion."
Lingling pulled him: "Lingling knows that the young master is anxious, but what can you do when you rush over?"
I'm so anxious!
Du Yong was secretly funny.
However, it is normal to rush to the Hou Mansion as soon as possible.
Yang Jin also understood this truth and nodded, "Young Master, let's go here."
The two left the dining room and hurried away. Lingling shouted from behind: "Young Master, are you going to come back for lunch?"
Du Yong didn't reply, "Don't wait, just eat it yourself."
…………
After arriving at the Marquis’ Mansion, I found that the atmosphere was indeed very solemn.
Du Zongcheng, Du Zonglong, Du Qiong and Ruan Peng are all here, and they are just here, depending on the situation.
Du Zongye and Du Mou wanted to be on duty, but they didn't come here.
Du Yong said hello and went straight to the topic: "Uncle, what's the matter? I just got up to have breakfast, and I heard from my family that rumors are flying all over the sky now, either to say the second uncle or to our Du family."
Du Zongcheng had a calm face and did not speak.
Du Zonglong pointed at Ruan Peng and said fiercely: "What's going on? Don't you explain it in detail?"
Ruan Peng's legs were a little weak: "Back to the Fourth Master, the villain and those three guys are just friends with drinking and meat, not the villain's helper as rumored outside. The villain never thought they would hang out with the bandits, the Fourth Master, knows what he said..."
"Damn it!"
Du Zonglong cursed and spitted: "If you are just a friend who drinks and meat, why are you spreading it so much outside? If you do something shameful, you must admit it as soon as possible, so we can prepare in advance."
Ruan Peng shouted: "Fourth Master, the villain is really wronged."
Du Qiong quickly interrupted: "Fourth uncle, let me listen to my nephew's words."
Du Zonglong breathed a long sigh and nodded.
Du Qiong said in a deep voice: "Ruan Peng is indeed a bastard, but even if he kills him now, it will be useless, and it will only cause bigger rumors. The most important thing now is to prove the innocence of the Du family, so we must find out the truth last night. As far as I know, the incident last night is very strange."
Du Zongcheng asked lightly: "What a strange method?"
Du Qiong replied: "Before I came, I asked a friend, and according to him, in addition to the bandits who fought against the front, there was also a masked man and a white-bearded old man last night."
