Chapter 93 Investigating the Suspect (5)
On the Yongji Canal where the river is busy, a fleet of twenty black-topped cargo ships are slowly traveling north by a team of trainers. The cargo ships are relatively small, about a hundred stones, with a blue pennant on the roof with the word "Lu".
The Lu family was once a great surname in Hebei. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was one of the famous five surnames and seven hopes in the world. When it comes to the Lu family in Fanyang, everyone knows it. As time goes by, the Lu family gradually declined and scattered throughout Hebei. The Lu family in Daming Prefecture is one of the branches.
Currently, the Lu family in Daming Prefecture is controlled by the three brothers of the Lu family. Like the Li family in Tangyin, the three brothers of the Lu family have their own division of labor. The eldest brother Lu Junen is in charge of land and is a famous landlord in Daming Prefecture. The second brother Lu Junren is in charge of the Lu family's industry. Lu Junren is well-managed, making the Lu family's industry spread across the two roads in Hebei.
The third brother Lu Junyi likes to practice martial arts since he was a child. He has visited famous teachers for more than ten years and has developed a strong martial arts skill. He has a water and fire stick and is invincible in both directions in Hebei. He looks heroic and handsome, and has a strong figure as a dragon. He has won the nickname of Jade Qilin.
Although the three brothers of the Lu family are powerful men of Daming Mansion, they usually help the poor and weak, treat tenants well, and assist the government in catching thieves and arresting bandits, and have a good reputation in Daming Mansion.
Today's fleet is one of the three Lu family fleets, transporting a batch of cloth to Hejian Mansion, where Ni Fu, the manager, is responsible for transporting it.
This time, a little martial boy was following him on a boat with Ni Fu. He was Lu Junyi's adopted son, named Yan Qing. Yan Qing is only eleven years old this year, with red lips and white teeth, and extremely handsome. He followed his master to practice martial arts since he was a child. His lancet knife made him elusive and good at shooting short crossbows, which was very popular among his master.
This time Yan Qing went to Hejian Mansion to send a letter to his master, but this was his first time going out alone. Yan Qing was very excited and looked around and kept asking the manager Ni Fu about this and that.
Ni Fu smiled and explained to him all the way. He pointed to a stone bridge in front and said, "That's the Daming Bridge. Although it looks a bit old, it is the oldest bridge in our Daming Mansion. It was built in the four years of Daye in the Sui Dynasty, and it has been hundreds of years and has not yet fallen."
Yan Qing looked at the stone bridge in front of him curiously, but saw a dark-skinned boy in short clothes standing on the bridge, with a small bag on the back, holding a short sword in his hand, staring at their ship with all his attention. Yan Qing couldn't help but smile and said, "The boy on the bridge is a little weird!"
Ni Fu was distracted. His eyes secretly looked at a cargo ship behind him. He hid someone in the cargo ship in private, so don't be discovered by Brother Yan.
The boy on the bridge was Li Yanqing. He ran all the way and finally caught up with the Lu family fleet, but he was unable to get on the boat. A stone bridge appeared in front of him, so he waited on the stone bridge first.
At this time, the boatman walked over the fiber path under the bridge, and the fleet began to slowly cross the bridge. Just as there were three ships left, Li Yanqing jumped off the bridge and landed lightly on the last third ship like an eagle. Unexpectedly, his actions were seen by Yan Qing, who had been paying attention to him.
Yan Qing was anxious and pointed at the cargo ship and shouted: "That guy jumped onto our ship just now. Is he a thief who steals cloth?"
The manager Ni Fu's face changed. He knew that something was going to be a bad thing, so he shouted to several friends: "Search the guy and drive him off the boat!"
Five guys picked up sticks and spears and ran towards the cargo ship behind them. Yan Qing also pulled out the lancet and rushed up.
Li Yanqing had searched four ships and jumped onto the fifth last ship. As soon as he got on the boat, he found something abnormal. There were fresh urine stains on the stern. Someone had just urinated on the stern. He drew his sword and approached the black tent on the boat little by little. Just when he was two steps away from the black tent, someone suddenly roared, opened the curtain and rushed out, and slashed towards Li Yanqing with a knife.
The other party was fierce. Li Yanqing's body was on the side. The other party slashed the air with a knife, but his back was exposed. Li Yanqing whipped the other party hard on the back with his sword spine. He heard a muffled scream. The other party was pulled on the boat. He saw that the person was tall and fat, his hair was messy, his eyes were bulging like a toad, and his face was full of flesh, just like an extremely ferocious wild boar, which was Liu Chenghong who had not seen for five years.
Li Yanqing's eyes suddenly turned red, and he stabbed into his shoulder with a fierce sword, nailing him to the deck. Liu Chenghong screamed in pain, "Brother Qing.... Give me a break!"
"Did you ever think of mercying him when you killed my patriarch?"
"It was done by Li Wengui, it has nothing to do with me!"
"I'm still talking nonsense when I die!"
At this moment, someone shouted, "Don't be rampant, let me go!"
Li Yanqing swept his eyes from the corner of his eyes and saw a young man rushing towards him with a lancet. It was only one boat away from him. How could Li Yanqing make people ruin his big deal? With a wave of his hand, a stone shot out quickly. Yan Qing caught him off guard, and the stone hit his forehead.
Yan Qing shouted, stepped on the air, and fell into the water. The couple behind were so scared that they didn't bother to capture Li Yanqing, and went into the water to save people.
Liu Chenghong seized this opportunity and kicked Li Yanqing hard on the waist. Li Yanqing staggered and hit the black tent heavily on the back. Liu Chenghong resisted the severe pain and got up and was about to dive into the water and escape.
Just as his body left the side of the ship, one of his legs was still inside the ship, Liu Chenghong suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He slowly lowered his head, and saw the tip of the sword coming out of his chest. The strong and severe pain made him scream heart-wrenchingly, and he died immediately. The body "splashed!" fell into the water and disappeared immediately.
Li Yanqing slowly knelt down on one knee, trembling with excitement. He followed him for three days and three nights, and finally killed the three heroes of the Bai family and Liu Chenghong, avenging the bloody revenge for the clan leader. At this moment, he just wanted to cry loudly.
At this time, a long spear was pressed against Li Yanqing's back, and Yan Qing, who was wet, gritted his teeth and asked, "Boy, who are you? You dare to act wildly on the Lu family boat!"
Although Yan Qing's forehead was not bleeding, itchy, and itchy. He was extremely angry and wanted to shoot the brat to a cold heart with one shot. However, he also witnessed the unknown person hidden in the cargo ship. He knew that this matter was not simple and did not dare to assassinate Li Yanqing.
Li Yanqing said calmly: "I am here to chase the enemy. You saw it just now, and he is hiding on your cargo ship."
Yan Qing was even more surprised and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am Li Yanqing, have you heard of it?"
‘Li Yanqing?’
Yan Qing seemed to have heard of this name, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it, but he also thought that he had suffered a great loss, so he gritted his teeth and whispered: "I don't care who you are? I don't care what enemies you are, but the Lu family's ships do not allow you to do whatever you want and put down your sword, otherwise I will stab you out of the boat with one shot."
How could Li Yanqing be under his control? His body turned around, like a shadow, and was extremely fast. He instantly left the tip of the gun. Then a cold light flashed, "Crack!" The ash wood gun rod was cut off by a sharp short sword. Yan Qing was furious and kicked Li Yanqing sideways.
Li Yanqing used his kick to turn over, jumped into the river, and swam to the other side. Yan Qing was so angry that he stamped his feet. His short crossbow was not around, otherwise this guy would not want to escape from his hands.
A guy pointed at the shore and shouted: "The two yameni of Longhu are here!"
Three young men riding horses rushed towards this side. Yan Qing was overjoyed. The two young men came, and this guy could not escape even if he had wings.
As soon as Li Yanqing climbed ashore, three riders rushed towards him in a font shape. Two of the three were Lu Junyi's nephews, one was Lu Wenlong and the other was Lu Wenhu. They all practiced martial arts with Lu Junyi, and the other was from the Lu clan. The three of them were holding guns and sticks and shouted at Li Yanqing.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Li Yanqing showed no mercy and knocked out two stones, which were extremely fast. Lu Wenlong and Lu Wenhu were caught off guard. Both stones hit their faces, and were immediately beaten to death and fell off the horse.
The third man was shocked and hurriedly grabbed the horse. He suddenly recognized Li Yanqing and shouted: "Is it Ge Qing?"
Li Yanqing was stunned. How could anyone know him? Looking at this person carefully, it turned out to be the Wushu Lu of the Wang Gui family.
Li Yanqing put away the third stone and fisted and said, "I am not really offending the Lu family, but just avenging the Lu family's fleet for the patriarch. I have an urgent step forward and will definitely come to the door to apologize next time and say goodbye!"
He stepped on his long legs and ran towards a forest. In just a moment, his figure disappeared into the woods.
Wu Shi Lu knew that he was good at killing stones, so he didn't dare to stop him. He quickly turned over and dismounted to visit the two yamen. They were all beaten to death and were in pain. Wu Shi Lu was secretly surprised and injured two generals before they even fought. The Lu family had never suffered such a big loss.
At this time, the manager Ni Fu Zhan stepped forward tremblingly and said, "Brother Yan, are you okay?"
Yan Qing turned around and glared at him, "Why is there a person hiding in our fleet? Have you explained it clearly to me?"
"This... I don't know either. Maybe he was secretly hiding in the boat."
"Nonsense! The fleet turned around immediately. I will report this to the official immediately."
