Seven Chapters of Facial Paralysis

When they saw Lu Xiaofeng, Tang Wuxun and Hua Manlou were eating snake soup at the bottom of an alley. The shop was very small, with only three or five tables and chairs. What is stewed is the fragrant snake soup.

When Huamanlou passed by the alley before and smelled the aroma, he happily dragged Tang Wuxun in, because he heard from the innkeeper that there is a small shop in Yangcheng whose snake soup is the best in the world .

Just as they were enjoying the most delicious food in the world, a familiar voice suddenly came from the door: "This is the most delicious food in the world, you will know it after eating it."

Tang Wuxun looked up and saw Lu Xiaofeng and a beautiful woman in white walking in.

"Hey, Brother Tang, Hua Man Lou, you are here too, what a coincidence," Lu Xiaofeng pulled the beautiful woman to their table and introduced, "This is Xue Bing, Xue Bing, this is my friend Hua Manlou and Tang Nineteen."

Xue Bing sat next to him and greeted them with a charming smile, as if she didn't care that she was sitting on a chair that was blackened by oily smoke in the store.

The shop waiter had already deftly filled two bowls of snake soup and placed them in front of her and Lu Xiaofeng.

"What kind of meat is this?" she asked curiously.

Of course Lu Xiaofeng didn't dare to tell her that women are always afraid of these things, even if she is a tigress, "If you think it tastes good, you can eat it, don't ask too much."

Then he said to Hua Manlou, "Why are you here, so leisurely, don't you need to investigate the case?"

Hua Manlou smiled, "We have already handed over the clues to Catcher Jin, and the place is unfamiliar, so even if we wanted to, we couldn't find it, so we had to wander around."

"I can do this!" Lu Xiaofeng said triumphantly, and made a strange gesture to the waiter.

The waiter at the shop was usually ignorant of answers, but after seeing his gesture, he approached him very respectfully: "What do you want, boss?" He spoke in Yangcheng dialect.

Lu Xiaofeng also answered him a series of questions in Yangcheng dialect, and talked back and forth with him, but the three people next to him didn't understand at all.

Not long after, the waiter walked out of a narrow door at the back of the shop, so Xue Bing asked Lu Xiaofeng, "What did you tell him just now?"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled mysteriously and said, "I asked him to find someone for me."

"Looking for the leader here?" Tang Wuxun asked.

"How did brother Tang know?"

Tang Wuxun didn't answer. Except for Xue Bing, the three men present knew where this street was. When he and Hua Manlou walked in from the alley just now, at least ten people stared at them, and The martial arts of these ten people are not weak.

This is probably the base camp of the underground forces in the city. By the time they reached this store, Tang Wuxun had already identified at least seven stores where the waiters and shopkeepers were his colleagues.

Lu Xiaofeng was very satisfied with his behavior of not answering, because he wanted to show off in front of Xue Bing that he had a wide range of friends.

After Xue Bing heard him finish talking about the situation here, and heard him say that he knew the boss snake king here, the shop waiter finally rushed back, and his attitude towards Lu Xiaofeng was even more respectful.

After he and Lu Xiaofeng talked a lot, he led them back.

Behind it was a narrower alley, and the conditions in the alley were completely in line with Tang Wuxun's impression of this kind of place, not only were flies flying around, but there were also foul-smelling gutters.

During the period, they walked through the yard where poisonous snakes were slaughtered, Lu Xiaofeng even competed with two big men, Xue Bing threw up when he saw others slaughtering game, and finally came to a small grocery store.

There is a narrow staircase in the grocery store. At the end of the staircase is a narrow door with a curtain made of black beans and acacia beans. The waiter sent them here and left.

Xue Bing looked at the situation with a puzzled expression, probably wondering why a big boss who can control such a dangerous place would live in such a simple place.

But after they entered, she understood, because the interior of the room was very luxuriously furnished, just like a palace.

The Snake King doesn't look like the boss of a good man in the market at all, because he is too thin, almost skinny, and he is also very weak. Not only is his face pale as hell, he even wears a thick cotton padded coat on this hot day , The soft couch on which he was reclining was still covered with a furry tiger skin.

But after he and Lu Xiaofeng started talking, this fact was revealed, because he was not only bold, but also obviously very loyal, even if Lu Xiaofeng asked him to help inquire about the topographic map and defense map of the Southeast Palace, he didn't ask why, He didn't even show embarrassment, he just said "yes" and agreed.

However, Hua Manlou had doubts: "Why do you want to inquire about the terrain and defense of the palace?"

Lu Xiaofeng raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Because I want to see if I can enter the treasure house without disturbing the guards like the Embroidered Thief, and also lock the door from the outside."

Hua Manlou couldn't help laughing, and told him Tang Wuxun's guess.

"Red shoes? Could it be her?" Lu Xiaofeng was taken aback, and then told them what he saw at Jiang Chongwei's place.

There is a woman beside Jiang Chongwei, named Jiang Qingxia, who is also wearing a pair of red shoes.In fact, it is not strange for women to wear red embroidered shoes, but it is strange for a female Taoist priest to wear a pair of red embroidered shoes under her Taoist robe and blue cloth shoes.

After Lu Xiaofeng discovered that she was wearing those shoes, she acted like she was trying to kill Lu Xiaofeng to silence her. After she couldn't beat Lu Xiaofeng, she ran away, but Lu Xiaofeng still left a shoe, which was the red embroidered shoe.

At that time, Lu Xiaofeng suspected that she was the Embroidery Thief, because he met Sikong Zhaixing before, and Sikong Zhaixing stole the Embroidery Thief's handkerchief, and brought it to Bixia Nunnery.There are only Jiang Chongwei and Jiang Qingxia in Bixia Nunnery, of course Jiang Chongwei would not hire Sikong Zhaxing to steal this thing, so who else but Jiang Qingxia?

But Jiang Chongwei disagreed with his statement. Jiang Chongwei repeatedly guaranteed that Jiang Qingxia would never blind him, because although he and Jiang Qingxia were siblings on the surface, they were actually childhood sweethearts who had been engaged since childhood. Some of his own problems prevented him from getting married, so Jiang Qingxia became a monk and became a Taoist nun, and she recognized him as a brother. Even if there is no love between them, they still have the meaning of brother and sister.

What's more, although Jiang Qingxia's martial arts are good, she absolutely cannot stab Chang Mantian or Jiang Chongwei's eyes in one move.

But now that he heard Tang Wuxun's speculation, he knew what role Jiang Qingxia played in this case, "She is the insider of the Embroidered Thief!"

Not only because she wore the same red shoes as the embroidered thief, but also because she had just visited Jiang Chongwei in the palace before the robbery in the palace.

He kept talking to Hua Manlou about this, but he didn't realize that Snake King's complexion had changed, became paler, almost ashen.

He took a deep breath, clasped his fingers tightly on the edge of the low couch, his voice was hoarse, and he almost asked word for word, "Red shoes?"

There was deep-seated hatred in his voice, and his bright eyes were full of murderous intent and tears.

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

"You know?" Tang Wuxun asked.

"Of course I know," the Snake King's hands trembled, not because of the cold, nor because of fear, but because of hatred, "Of course I know, because my enemy wears a pair of red shoes like that, and the embroidered ones are not mandarin ducks, It's an owl!"

His tears finally flowed out. He looked at Lu Xiaofeng and said, "Have you ever met my wife? Of course you haven't, so you will never know what a gentle and kind woman she is, and neither have you." I have seen my son and daughter, they are all smart and cute, they are only five or six years old..."

He couldn't go on anymore, but everyone understood what he meant. His wife and children had died at the hands of the man in the red shoes.

Lu Xiaofeng also clenched his teeth, and asked after a long time, "Who is that person?"

The Snake King shook his head, "I don't know."

"How could you not know?" Lu Xiaofeng was puzzled.

The Snake King clenched his teeth and did not answer.

Tang Wuxun said suddenly: "Even if you don't say it, Lu Xiaofeng will not give up on investigating this matter, it is still dangerous, and maybe it can help him if you say it."

The Snake King lowered his head and wiped away his tears, and regained his determination, "That person is called Aunt Gongsun. It is said that she is the descendant of Aunt Gongsun, the No. 1 Jiaofang in the early Tang Dynasty, so she is also called Aunt Gongsun."

"It seems that she is not famous, I have never heard of her."

"Then you must have heard of these people." The Snake King counted out several well-known female devils in the Jianghu.

Except for Tang Wuxun, who didn't understand the situation in Jianghu, the other three took a breath at the same time.

The Snake King stared at Lu Xiaofeng closely, and said word by word: "From today onwards, my subordinates will fully cooperate with you in investigating this case. If you find her, don't forget to notify me!"

He cast his eyes on a very thin, very narrow long sword on the wall, and sighed, "My sword hasn't seen blood in ten years..."
