Chapter 586: Time and fate
Chapter 586: Time and fate
Zhao Xueyuan moved his lips but said nothing.
Dead silence.
With the orange-red light shining on his face, Zhao Hongyuan sat on the straw pile, looking at the sunset outside the fence, without much blame.
"It's fate, who could have thought of it? Who could have thought of it?"
Zheng Xiang stared at the moldy and mossy wall with lifeless eyes.
Three years.
Just three years.
Bang!
The cell door was wide open.
The state judge Tang Yuyou glanced around and frowned.
"Who put you in together?"
"Please calm down, sir. We arrested too many people and were in a hurry, so we just detained them all together..."
"Separate them all!"
"Yes!"
Zhao Hongyuan, who had just been lying down, was carried out again.
A few moments.
The candlelight is dim.
Tang Yuyou sat at the top and opened the album.
"Name, place of origin, age."
……
"Sir, look."
According to Zhao Hongyuan's instructions, Awu found a box in the secret compartment, opened it, and found several red pills embedded in it.
"Fetal Pearl Pill?"
Liang Qu picked up a grain, which was the size of the nail of his little finger.
It doesn't smell as bad as you might imagine. It's mostly medicinal scent mixed with a hint of fishy smell.
But when I tried using the "Nose Sense Method", it was a mixture of fragrant and stinky, and the stinky smell was stronger than the fragrant smell.
The disadvantages outweigh the advantages.
Zhao Hongyuan divided one Taizhu Pill into ten portions, with each person eating three portions, for a total of six people. After counting, there were five pills left, which were eaten by five people.
"Where are the accompanying supplementary medicines?"
"At this."
Aggie held out another box.
When smelling the two kinds of pills together, the fragrance and odor are comparable, or even stronger than the odor, which is not much different from what Zhao Xueyuan said.
Put the pill back.
"Put it together, don't leave anything missing."
"Yes!"
Leave the detectives to deal with the aftermath and collect evidence.
Liang Qu walked out of Zhao's house.
The onlookers all stepped back, making way for a path.
……
Return to Xu’s courtyard.
Liang Quxian kept his promise and gave extra rewards, giving Liu Shouping and Zheng Rusheng five spiritual creatures each.
The two of them thanked him profusely and left.
Blood earned!
I originally came to join in the fun at the hunting meeting, but unexpectedly I got something great. Five spiritual creatures, worth a few hundred taels!
Afterwards, Liang Qu asked Long Yao and Long Li to grind ink and spread paper, and he wrote two letters himself.
A letter was sent to Xu Yuelong of Pingyang Prefecture, stating the arrest of the Zhao family in Huangzhou and asking about the follow-up measures.
If done properly, maybe you can achieve another great success.
Zhao Hongyuan is just a small fry, not a big fish.
If a wolf smoke martial artist comes, he can take care of them all if he is careful, but Liang Qu always feels that this old guy has more tricks up his sleeve.
As long as the value is sufficient, you will be the one who deserves the credit.
The Ghost Mother Cult is a great treasure in the Jianghuai Swamp, and there are many places to explore.
The other letter was sent to Ningjiang Prefecture, addressed to the King of Yue, informing him of his victory in the Huangzhou Hunting Competition.
In life, opportunities depend on your own efforts.
When one reaches the level of Martial Saint, he actually lacks nothing. Or rather, what he lacks is not something that others can easily give him.
But it is obviously not difficult to report your progress at regular intervals and provide emotional value to the master.
Anyone who sees the "stocks" that they are optimistic about or even invested in rising in value will feel a sense of accomplishment.
Finished.
Liang Qu called Ah Wu to help him get out: "There will be nothing else to do after this, you can go back to find my senior brother."
After watching the guards leave, Liang Qu finally took a breath and lay back on the bench to relax.
The hunting session lasted three nights and two days, and afterward we were so busy capturing people that we didn’t have time to rest properly.
"Did anyone see me this afternoon?"
"Yes, Senior Brother came to see me once and left a stack of banknotes, saying that they were the money that you won by betting earlier."
Long Yao took out a thick stack of silver bills from his arms.
count.
Ninety thousand taels!
It was exactly what the Tail Fire Tiger, who had previously paid thirty to one and bet three thousand on himself, had won in the battle between the Sea Yaksha!
At this point, the amount of deposits has surged to as much as 310,000, and it’s all liquid cash!
Liang Qu waved the banknotes and asked with a smile: "Did you bet?"
Long Li scratched his cheek and said embarrassedly: "I am the first elder and I earn more than the elders."
Liang Qu was surprised: "How much?"
Long Yao blushed and was quite excited. She counted on her fingers: "Ms. Chang bet a thousand, and Sister E Ying bet a thousand. The two of us bet just over five hundred, and we made a profit of one hundred and sixty thousand!"
"It's a pity that I didn't use the reins, and I'm missing two maids."
Long Eying pushed aside the curtain and walked into the room, her tone slightly regretful.
"What reins?"
Long Eying pointed to the bookshelf.
Liang Qu then discovered that there were many long boxes on the bookshelf. These long boxes were wrapped with golden patterns and looked very exquisite.
When I opened them, they were all rolls of picture albums. The paintings were quite good, with a certain charm. I could tell who painted them and when.
"You asked E Ying to borrow money to buy it?" Liang Qu laughed, "It's a lot of money, right?"
Long Yao spread out his five fingers.
"so much?"
Liang Qu stared.
How much money does this make?
Tsk tsk.
No wonder the three families hold the Grand Hunting Meeting every year and never get tired of it.
A good business with guaranteed profits.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as portrait rights in this world.
"By the way, someone from the government office has also come to see the elder."
"You're from the government office?" Liang Qu looked up. "What do you want from me?"
A red gold-stamped note was handed over.
"I'm sending you an invitation. It says that the prefect is going to host a banquet at Qixia Tower in three days. He is inviting the best contestants of this year's Grand Hunting Competition to be the guests. Do you want to go?"
Liang Qu opened the invitation and thought about it.
"Go ahead and add a word for me."
Long Yao took the invitation, picked up the brush on the table, and wrote "Respectfully accepting the last seat".
……
same.
"going or not?"
Huo Hongyuan flipped through the invitation.
The top ten in this year's Grand Prix are somewhat unworthy of their reputation, so in addition to the top ten, we specially invite "outstanding" contestants.
Sea Yaksha and Tail Fire Tiger are naturally among them.
"Go!" Zhu Zongwang said without hesitation, "Let's find a chance to talk."
……
It's quiet at night.
Liang Qu took a hot bath to get rid of his fatigue, resisted the urge to take the treasure, and went straight to a villa.
The whole courtyard was in deathly silence.
Yang Xu and others all gathered here, each with a cushion. There was almost no communication between them. Even if there was, they spoke very carefully, as if they were afraid to disturb the people in the room.
The sound insulation of the quiet room is definitely not bad, but promotion is a big deal, so it is inevitable that people worry too much.
Liang Qu blended into the atmosphere and asked quietly, "How long has Master been in seclusion?"
Xu Zishuai turned around and said, "It starts at noon on the 20th. It's just one day. We have to wait."
"I wonder if Master can make it to the birthday party at the end of the month."
"Ten days?" Liang Qu estimated based on Long Yanrui's time. "Isn't that a bit tight?"
"hope."
"How about postponing Lord Xu's birthday banquet? To November?" Xu Zishuai pretended to joke.
"What are you thinking? The date of the invitation has been set. Someone specially took time off to come and visit. How can it be late?"
"Junior brother just came back and looks very tired. There is no need to accompany you here. The first prize is generous. Hurry up and go back to digest it. Go to the overpass early." Yu Dun said, "We are sitting here and worrying about this in vain."
"Alright."
