Chapter 5: Wu Dalang (5)

Xia Xuebing staggered down the streets of Yanggu County, the late night wind seemed to be dyed by the slightly cool weather, and the wisps blew on Xia Xuebing's face, which made him quickly calm down from the emotional fluctuations after the murder just now, and the desire to survive once again prevailed.

Although her mood has stabilized, at this moment, Xia Xuebing's heart is still full of sadness.

Because his current situation is basically no different from being kicked out of the house by Brother Yun, they are all seriously injured and have nothing to hide, the only difference is that he got back the silver taels that he gave to Brother Yun before, but he is about to die of serious injuries, what is the use of asking for money?

Just when Xia Xuebing didn't know what to do next, a team of catchers with sticks and ropes found Xia Xuebing wandering alone on the street, and they quickly surrounded him, and the leader of the catchers asked: "Who are you? Don't you know what curfew time is now, what do you want to do?"

"It's curfew time?" Xia Xuebing's brain was running fast, although he didn't know much about ancient knowledge, but generally speaking, the curfew policy of the ancient dynasties and dynasties would be implemented at night, this policy from the principle of heavy agriculture and suppression of business is not only conducive to the saving of lighting resources, but also conducive to the monitoring of the public security environment, it is a more important hard rule, even if it is a country gentry like Ximenqing, it is difficult to swagger through the market during the curfew, so these few people in front of him who look neatly formed and well-trained should indeed be people from the yamen, and they should also know Wu Song, who is the head of the capital。

Thinking of this, Xia Xuebing's eyes lit up, it was really an endless road, could it be that he had come to run in time? Although even if these people were indeed from the Yamen, there was no guarantee that they were in the same line as Wu Song, but Xia Xuebing still decided to take a risk, anyway, he was about to lose his ability to act now, and he really couldn't think of any other better way, so he said: "I am Wu Hua, the elder brother of Wu Song, the head of this county." ”

The head catcher looked startled, and then said happily: "Great! Wudutou just came back from escorting prisoners in Shanxi tonight, and found that his brother was not there, and he was sending a few of us to look for his brother overnight. ”

Xia Xuebing finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "It's just that I was beaten a few days ago and was seriously injured, so it's really inconvenient to walk..."

Fortunately, these catchers didn't say much about Wu Dalang's beating, but politely found the strongest catcher with the strongest physique among them to carry Xia Xuebing on his back to join Wu Song, which made Xia Xuebing's hanging heart completely land.

The group walked for two or three quarters of an hour, Xia Xuebing found that the route they took was very familiar, and when she thought about it carefully, it seemed to be the way back to her home, and she was puzzled, and said to the leader: "Where is my brother now?"

"Wu Dutou is waiting for us at his home in the south of the city to search for my brother's whereabouts. "Catch fast.

Xia Xuebing didn't reply, and suddenly felt a little wrong in her heart.

Wu Song returned home from a business trip and found that he was missing, what would he do as soon as he found out? Naturally, he asked Pan Jinlian, in this case, there are two assumptions, first, Pan Jinlian successfully prevaricated in the past, this possibility exists, after all, Wu Song does not know the specific time of his disappearance, Pan Jinlian can completely say that Wu Dalang is just going out to run errands. The second possibility is that Pan Jinlian did not deceive Wu Song, and Wu Song found out that he was in danger now, so he immediately mobilized his forces to start searching for him.

But these two assumptions have their irrationalities, first, if Pan Jinlian successfully deceived Wu Song, then Wu Song would not know that he was in danger, let alone launch so many hunts to find him overnight. So the first assumption doesn't hold up at all.

The second hypothesis doesn't seem to be a problem, because according to the description of Wu Song in the film and television, this is a person who is rough and fine, and he can completely recognize the prevarication of a housewife, but the problem is... If Wu Song found out that he was tired, how could he still be waiting for me at home now? You must know that in ancient times, women basically stayed at home, and now it is the curfew at night, and it is impossible for Pan Jinlian to stay outside, how can Wu Song share a room with a sister-in-law who is suspected of murdering her husband? Unless... Pan Jinlian has already taken refuge in Ximenqing or has been subdued or even killed by Wu Song, but if something happens to Pan Jinlian, Ximenqing will not be looking for Wu Dalang in the past few days, at least in the evening this evening, Brother Yun still wants to drive himself out, which shows that Ximenqing's search for himself has been going on in the past few days. Time difference, or is it something else?

Just as Xia Xuebing was thinking quickly, the leader of the catcher said, "It's here." ”

In front of me is really the home where I ran away a few days ago, a simple house stands in the dark night, and some straw on the roof falls down with the night wind, which is quite desolate.

After the leader of the catcher quickly entered the door to report, Xia Xuebing hesitated for a moment, but still stepped into the door with the support.

There was only one ointment lamp lit in the house, and the dim light mixed with the strange smell of burning grease filled the room, and there were wine and food on the table in the room, and a tall and sturdy man with a great appearance sat in the position of the guest of honor, who got up immediately after seeing Xia Xuebing, and said with a smile on his face: "Brother!"

It seems that this person is indeed Wu Song, Xia Xuebing was relieved, all the previous speculations disappeared at this moment, and the mood of finally meeting relatives swept away the previous haze, and tears flowed unconsciously. Xia Xuebing moved her steps with difficulty, threw her arms out and threw herself at Wu Song, giving her brother an intimate hug.

Wu Song's body trembled, and then he also hugged Xia Xuebing, and said, "Brother is okay these days?"

Xia Xuebing said: "A few days ago, I went to catch the traitor, I didn't want to be seriously injured by the thief, and then Wu Chunsheng (Pan Jinlian) was instigated by Wang Po, ready to poison and harm me when my brother went out, thanks to my timely discovery and escape, I have been hiding in someone else's house for the past few days, and finally waited for my brother to come back..."

Hearing this, Wu Song frowned and said, "Brother, who is hiding in someone's house these days? ”

Xia Xuebing paused, and hinted with her eyes that Wu Song asked the catchers in the house to avoid, and Wu Song quickly understood, so he asked the surrounding catchers to retreat first and wait outside the door.

Xia Xuebing saw that only she and Wu Song were left, so she said: "I have been hiding in Brother Yun's house for the past few days, but this guy wants to betray my whereabouts to Ximen Qing tonight, so I killed Brother Yun and his father." ”

Wu Song was shocked and said, "My brother killed Brother Yun and his old father?"

Xia Xuebing said: "I am seriously injured, if I am caught by Ximenqing, I will definitely die for life, and I will only kill him in desperation..." Speaking of this, Xia Xuebing suddenly thought of her previous doubts, and asked: "Brother, where is your sister-in-law now?"

Wu Song was still in the shock of being killed by Wu Dalang, but he quickly calmed down and said: "Brother, wait a minute, I kidnapped this slut when I got home in the afternoon, and now I will escort her to see my brother immediately." After that, he got up and entered the inner room, and after a while, with a few miserable female voices, Wu Song took out Wu Chunsheng, who was tied up strongly, that is, Pan Jinlian.

Who knew that Pan Jinlian let out an extremely frightened scream when she saw Xia Xuebing: "Ghost, ghost, ghost!"

Xia Xuebing spat at Pan Jinlian and scolded: "Slut, do you think I'm dead? Fortunately, God has eyes, let me wait until my brother comes back, I ask you, where is Ximenqing now? Say it quickly!"

But Pan Jinlian seemed to be delirious at the moment, and kept screaming in horror, "Ghost, ghost." Xia Xuebing gradually lost patience, his physical condition could no longer be delayed, and he had to complete the side task of this script to "break the game" immediately, or his life would be difficult to protect.

Xia Xuebing wanted to scare Pan Jinlian, so she pulled out Wu Song's saber on the table, and walked towards Pan Jinlian with difficulty, as Xia Xuebing approached step by step, Pan Jinlian's panic became more and more intense, but the rope on her body was unusually strong and firm, and she couldn't break free, so she turned her head to Wu Song and said: "Uncle save me! We..."

Before the words fell, Wu Song stepped forward and kicked Pan Jinlian in the head, this kick was powerful and heavy, hitting the temple, Pan Jinlian snorted, and was killed instantly.

"Slut!" Wu Song scolded.

This sudden change surprised Xia Xuebing, but he had just seen a dead man, and his psychological quality had obviously improved, and he didn't sigh too much, but waited for a while, and found that he had not changed much, so he understood that killing Pan Jinlian was not a so-called "breakthrough".

"My brother is resting at home for the past few days, and after recovering from his injury, Wu Song will definitely seek justice for his brother. Wu Song said.

"It can't be delayed any longer. Xia Xuebing hurriedly said: "Brother, let's go out with me to find Ximenqing to settle accounts, my brother is seriously injured now, I am afraid I can't last another two or three days, if I can't take revenge, I won't be blind!"

Wu Song frowned, sighed and said: "Then Ximenqing is good friends with the local county order, and the business is done in the surrounding counties, so we have to think about it in the long run." ”

Xia Xue Bing was in a hurry, coughing violently, only to feel that a lump of blood on his chest spread, he stood up, took Wu Song's hand and said: "Brother, my brother will beg you for this matter in this life, you have to go with your brother immediately to settle accounts with Ximenqing no matter what, otherwise I will go alone, and life and death will follow the sky." After saying that, Xia Xuebing shook off Wu Song's hand and walked to the door, in fact, it was to scare Wu Song, he didn't know where Ximenqing lived.

Wu Song immediately grabbed Xia Xuebing and said, "Since my brother has made up his mind, my brother should go with my brother." Then he picked up his saber.

Xia Xuebing squeezed out a smile, turned around and was about to go out with Wu Song.

The next moment, an official knife made of fine iron penetrated from behind Xia Xuebing, and the sharp weapon of the cold light penetrated Xia Xuebing's chest, and the tip of the knife poked out from the chest, as if a dyeing workshop had been opened, red blood, black bruises, and light yellow lipids hung on the knife body, and the smell of blood gradually spread, mixed with the smoke of the grease lamp, and it seemed to have opened a sauce and vinegar shop, which smelled fishy and pungent.

Although it was a fatal blow, the cold blade passed through Xia Xuebing's bruised and unbearable chest, but there was an indescribable cool feeling, Xia Xuebing's thinking became clear at this moment, and many of the previous doubts seemed to have answers at this moment, but they seemed to have fallen into a deeper fog......
