Chapter 143: News
Yan Ba caught a basket of bamboo shoots and stuffed it into his mouth, and after blocking his mouth, Yan Bacai warned in a low voice: "What the fifth young master thinks and thinks is what we can guess indiscriminately, let's eat more and talk less!"
Hmm! Yan Jiu chewed hard and nodded in agreement. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
On the wine table on Liu Shou's left, there was a man lying on his stomach. The wine and food on the table did not move a few bites, but there were a lot of empty wine jars. The man appeared to be drunk and was sleeping soundly with his head resting on his arm.
He was full of alcohol, his hair was unkempt, and his clothes were loose and sloppy. Although only half of his face is exposed, it can be seen that his facial features are three-dimensional like a knife and an axe, and a lot of cyan scum emerges from his resolute chin, which looks decadent and vicissitudes.
"The guest officer is really good drinking. Yan'er smiled with satisfaction, and was busy carefully cooking for Liu Shoubu, while chatting about family life: "I don't know if the guest official is coming to Meiling County to visit relatives, or if he is resting by the way......"
Liu Shou and Yan'er had a good conversation, and a jar of Huiquan wine quickly drank more than half, but the dishes on the table did not move much. Of course, most of these fine wines went into Yan'er's stomach. At this moment, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were half-squinted, and she seemed to be staring at him with disgust, looking indescribably delicate and charming.
Seeing her appearance, Liu Shou smiled slightly and said, "Can this young master ask Miss Yan'er about something?"
Yan'er propped her elbow on Liu Shou's shoulder and blew a breath of wine at him. Her eyes were like silk, and she murmured softly: "The guest officer just asks, Yan'er must know everything and say everything!"
"Okay!" Liu Shou hooked his lips and smiled, the jade bone fan in his hand tapped his palm, thought for a while, and said, "You guys are around here, but there are often girls missing?"
"The girl is missing?" A trace of confusion flashed in Yan'ermei's eyes, she thought for a while, shook her head and said, "I haven't heard of it!" Although there are occasional abductors, most of them are still the idea of beating those little dolls. After all, children are small, and they are not very good at talking, easy to coax, and easy to succeed.
But this time is also less, the last time was next street, I heard that it was smuggled to Xiushui County dozens of miles away, and it was quickly found back by the flower caught in the yamen......"
She frowned, thought about it in confusion, and said: "I heard that two days ago, there was another kidnapper who kidnapped a little doll, but I told Hua Catcher to quickly see through it on the spot, not only took the little doll back, but also caught the unlucky kidnapper." Our county is not big, and almost everyone knows about it. ”
"That's it!" Liu Shou suddenly became interested, he got closer again, and said with great interest: "Beauty, you tell me in detail, what's going on?"
"It's noisy!"
Before Yan'er could speak, the man who was sleeping at the next table suddenly frowned and muttered. He opened his eyes in a daze, and reached out and tugged at the table. Grab a jar and pour it into your mouth. It's a pity that those wine jars have long been drunk by him, and where can he pour things.
Annoyed, he threw the empty jar back on the table, grabbing his unkempt hair. His nose twitched, but he smelled the rich aroma of wine, and following the aroma of wine, he saw the half jar of Huiquan wine on Liu Shou's table at a glance. The man's eyes lit up, he got up suddenly, staggered over a few steps, reached out and grabbed the wine jar and raised his head to drink.
Liu Shou was startled, and Yan Ba Yanjiu immediately got up to protect him. Yan Ba pushed the man hard, and shouted angrily: "What kind of person, so bold, dare to offend my son-in-law." ”
Although Yan Ba's skills are not as good as Yan San and Yan Liu, they can be regarded as top-notch among guards of the same age. The man who was holding the wine jar and drinking wildly looked drunk and hazy, and his steps were messy. But Yan Ba felt that his palm was like a dragonfly shaking an iron pillar, and he couldn't stop moving at all.
Yan'er was originally lying on Liu Shou's shoulders softly, jumped up in shock when she saw this, and said coquettishly: "There are a lot of guest officers, this Uncle Xiao is just ...... Just drunk, no offense. ”
Xiao Fengnan is a frequent visitor to this drunken red mansion, with a good temperament, generous shots, and a wonderful hand, which naturally wins the support and admiration of these prostitutes.
Liu Shou frowned, he thought he was inquiring about the news, but he didn't want to be disturbed by a drunkard. Otherwise, the previous effort was in vain. So he waved his hand to Yan Ba and Yan Jiu, and said happily: "It's just half a jar of wine, he can take it if he wants to drink it, it's not worth anything." ”
"Thank you, guest officer!" Yan'er hurriedly stood up, Ying Ying was blessed, and thanked Xiao Fengnan on behalf of her.
Xiao Fengnan didn't seem to know that he was in trouble, and he was still leaning his neck and drinking. I saw that his throat was constantly wriggling, and half a jar of wine soon entered his belly.
Reluctantly wiped a handful of wine foam from his mouth, Xiao Fengnan "banged" and paused the empty wine jar in front of Liu Shou. After burping, he propped up the table with his hands and said with his tongue open: "Don't worry, your young master will not drink in vain, and will give you silver." ”
He began to grope his hands around him, his clothes were almost scratched, but he didn't even touch a copper plate.
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Liu Shou's eyes, he had seen too much of a drunkard who obviously didn't have a few copper plates on his body, but he was bluffing and wanted to drink. He coughed lightly and said, "This brother doesn't have to look for silver, this young master said that he invited you to drink, so he invited you to drink, and he will definitely not regret it." ”
"Who wants you to invite, doesn't this young master have any silver?" Xiao Fengnan, who hadn't touched the money bag for a long time, was angry with his alcohol. When the wine was strong, he subconsciously held on to the table again, shook his drowsy head in a daze, and said, "You, you wait, Young Master Ben will give you the silver immediately." ”
He propped up the table with one hand, and with the other he began to touch himself again.
Liu Shou was not in a hurry or annoyed, squinting at the drunken and misty Xiao Fengnan, just to see what tricks he still wanted to play!
"Oh, my Uncle Xiao, don't make trouble!" Yan'er jumped to her feet in a hurry, but she couldn't pull Xiao Fengnan.
Liu Shou sneered: "It's okay, the young master of the silver book is never too much." If this brother doesn't appreciate it, he will definitely count the wine money, and Young Master Ben will definitely not refuse. ”
“...... Here!" Xiao Fengnan finally took out an object from his arms and fell in front of Liu Shou with a bang. He said with a big tongue and drunkenly: "This is used to pay for wine." ”
Liu Shou only felt that a golden light flashed in front of him, and there was an extra red gold double phoenix bead and golden wings on the table. Liu Shou's eyes were very poisonous, and he saw at a glance that the inlay on the step was actually a shark bead that was hard to find. Not to mention the shark beads on this step, it is estimated that half of the drunken red mansion can be bought.
He originally thought that Xiao Fengnan was borrowing wine to pretend to be crazy and wanted to drink it, but he didn't expect that he really took out a valuable thing to offset the wine money.
"Hehe, it's a bit interesting! I didn't expect that in this small county, there are actually people hiding Crouching Tigers everywhere. Liu Shou curiously began to look at the drunkard in front of him again.
Xiao Fengnan didn't care so much, and after throwing off the step, he staggered back to his position. A pair of drunken eyes stared at the storyteller on the stage, and he didn't know whether he was sober or confused.
Liu Shou pinched and shook the smooth shark beads, thought about it, and said to Yan'er: "You let that brother put two more jars of wine on the stage, and the bill will be credited to the young master's head." ”
"You can't give it wine. Yan'er waved her hand again and again, and whispered: "That Uncle Xiao used to draw Danqing with an excellent hand, but these days I drank too much wine and my hands have been trembling, and I can't even pick up the pen, and I see that people are about to be wasted." We don't dare to give him any more wine, the wine on his table is all from the tavern outside. ”
"No wonder he came to grab Young Master Ben's wine to drink!" Liu Shou couldn't help but glance sideways at Xiao Fengnan a few times, and saw that his eyes were half-closed in a fog, looking like he was out of the world.
Shaking his head, Liu Shou quickly lost interest in him. He said to Yan Ba and Yan Jiu, who were still pestle in front of him, like a wooden leash: "It's okay, you go eat yours." ”
"Yes. Yan Ba, Yan Jiu gave him a fist salute, and then returned to his table and began to eat and drink.
Liu Shou pulled Yan'er, who was still a little frightened, sat down beside him, and said softly: "Don't pay attention to them! Beauty, this young master likes to listen to stories the most, you still tell me how Hua Zhukuai caught that crutch!"
Liu Shou didn't notice that when he mentioned the three words of flower catch, Xiao Fengnan's dull eyes finally turned.
Yan'er quietly breathed a sigh of relief, she had heard the guests talk about the events of the day many times, so she was like a storyteller, telling Liu Shou in a colorful voice.
At that time, she also heard this story in the east and west, and many things were added to the conjecture and speculation of others. So the protagonist of the story, Hua Lianyue, was transformed into a woman with eyes like a torch, extremely smart, and discerning. She could tell who was good and who was bad with just her eyes.
Hearing this, Liu Shou pouted a little unconvinced, and muttered: "That girl is just an ordinary person, carrying a head on one shoulder, where are you so godly!"
Yan'er's eyes widened suddenly, and she said, "Guest officer, are you familiar with Hua Zhukuai?"
Liu Shou snorted and said, "I've seen once, I've just met once." ”
Yan'er covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "The rumors are more and more mysterious, and it is just a matter of listening to the story." But I heard that when the flower catcher caught the crutch that day, the crutch once sprinkled a handful of medicine on her, and the flower catcher patted the ash on her body at that time, and there was nothing at all. But after they left, someone stained the medicine on the ground, and immediately fainted, and slept for a full day before waking up. ”
"And this?" Liu Shou's heart moved when he heard this, he remembered that night when he was inexplicably turned over at the gate of Hua Lianyue, it seemed that a spiritual light split his chaotic brain.
He slapped his head and said, "No wonder that female thief appeared in her house, could it be that female thief is the kidnapper who missed her hand, and she came at night to take revenge." Oh no, no, that stinky girl is really in danger this time......."
Speaking of this, he covered his mouth suddenly, his eyes purred a few times, and then he let go again, puffed a few times, and muttered: "Tong Yan Wu Ji, Tong Yan Wu Ji, don't take it seriously!"
He shouted loudly, "Yan Jiu!"
Yan Jiu, who was eating vegetables, hurriedly threw away the bowl in his hand, came to Liu Shou, hugged his fists and said, "What does the fifth young master command?"
Liu Shou hurriedly ordered: "You are fast, go and say to the second brother first." Don't keep competing with that surnamed Shen, it's very likely that Hua Catcher was kidnapped by that kidnapper. Since she is dead now, maybe the kidnapper is planning to take revenge and want to abduct and sell her.
The most important thing now is to keep every road outside the county tightly guarded, and no one must be allowed to escape. At that time, the world is so big, and trying to find someone is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. ”
Yan Jiu looked at him stunned, and didn't move for a long time.
Liu Shou glared and shouted angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you go ...... quickly?"
"Yes. ”
Yan Jiu hurriedly arched his hand and turned around and left neatly.
"Yan Ba ......" Before Liu Shou's words fell, a flower suddenly appeared in front of him, and Xiao Fengnan appeared in front of him like a ghost.
Liu Shou shrank his neck in fright, and said in a panic: "What are you doing?" Thinking about this, it seemed very embarrassing, he hurriedly straightened his back again, and said sharply: "What are you doing?"
Xiao Fengnan was completely drunk at the moment, he squinted dangerously, his hand reached out and grabbed the placket of Liu Shou's chest, and said coldly: "Say what you said before!"
"Be bold, let go of my young master!" Seeing this, Yan Ba on the side immediately pounced. Xiao Fengnan didn't dodge or dodge, one hand still grabbed Liu Shou tightly, and with the other hand blocking and pushing, Yan Ba immediately flew out upside down, crackling and smashing the tables and chairs along the way.
This movement was not small, and the warblers and Yanyan in the drunken red mansion were so frightened that they scattered in all directions. Yan'er also stood aside at a loss, she had never seen Xiao Fengnan hurt someone, and she was also frightened, not knowing what to do.
Liu Shou's neck stiffened, and he said in a stiff voice: "Young Master Ben has said so much, who knows which one you want to listen to." ”
The green tendons on Xiao Fengnan's forehead had burst out, and there was anger and pain in his squinted eyes. He tightened his strength suddenly, and said viciously: "Say, when was the moon girl kidnapped? What about Huo Lianjue? As a dignified magistrate, how could he let the moon girl be taken away?"
Liu Shou felt a tightness in his chest, and he almost began to have difficulty breathing. However, he still took the time to think about who the moon girl in Xiao Fengnan's mouth was.
Yan Jiu had already gotten up, pulled out his saber, and slashed at Xiao Fengnan like a whirlwind. Calm, fast, and infinitely powerful, it looks like it has been taught by a famous teacher.
Xiao Fengnan didn't sweep his eyes, he only grabbed the bamboo chopsticks on the table casually, and threw them casually, and the bamboo chopsticks went straight into Yan Ba's shoulders like sharp arrows. With tremendous strength, he flew out with Yan Ba upside down again.
Liu Shou covered his eyes violently, as if he didn't dare to look at Yan Ba's miserable appearance at this time. Oops, it's really more popular than people, and the goods should be thrown away.
These guards are also carefully selected, and they are usually very fashionable when they are brought out. But why since I arrived in this Meiling County, I have been deflated again and again. Nowadays, even a drunk can be easily put down with one move.
Woo! Now I ask for a change of guard, I don't know if it's too late......
