11. The City Lord's Mansion
The rescued person looked at the scene in front of him in amazement, and suddenly thought of something, blocking in front of Zhou Yanbo and Yun Yi: "You two run quickly!" ”
Yun Yi looked at the person in front of him strangely, and asked suspiciously: "You just asked us to help you, but now you want us to leave quickly, you are really a strange guy." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"This ......," the man blushed, "right...... I'm sorry, but the two of you must know that those bandits can send people to arrest people in Yecheng openly, then the influence of his power can be imagined. ”
Yun Yi frowned, feeling that things were bad, he didn't expect that there would be trouble at the beginning of the journey. "What the hell is going on?" Zhou Yanbo asked calmly.
"My surname is Qiu, and my name is Qiu Ning. The children of the family have been machine spring masters for generations, and they are good at making all kinds of organ news and mechanical tools, and it is precisely because of this skill that the bandits of Ye Xun Mountain in the north of Yecheng took a fancy to me, and quietly robbed me from the family and forced me to make large-scale offensive equipment, and they promised that once I caused it, they would give me back my freedom. However, I can not only build such an attack device, but also a corresponding cracking device, this truth is known to fools. Once I made it, my life was gone, so I ran out while they weren't looking......"
The surrounding spectators immediately discussed, with a trace of horror on their faces, and an old man persuaded Yun Yi: "Young man, leave with your companion quickly, that person, even Ye Cheng can't be eliminated!" ”
"Ye Cheng...... Can't be wiped out either? Yun Yi suddenly shuddered, "Is this still a bandit?" Yun Yi, who was crying bitterly in his heart, could only turn his head with a forced smile and said to Zhou Yanbo: "Yanbo, can you go?" ”
Zhou Yanbo returned to his seat, slowly poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and responded with a smile: "I just came to Yecheng, why am you in a hurry?" ”
Yun Yi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yes, ...... too" and immediately sat back in his seat, muttering in his heart: "It's really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers." He took another sip of the tea in front of him.
Qiu Ning looked at everything in front of him, he was really anxious, and immediately walked to the table, grabbed the teapot, and said, "Why don't you two leave?" Still have the heart to drink tea here? ”
"Chunin, huh?" Zhou Yanbo smiled and looked at Qiu Ning, who was like an ant on a hot pot, stood up and gently took the teapot from Qiu Ning's hand, and pressed Qiu Ning to the chair, "Thank you for your concern, but don't worry, we'll be fine." ”
"You ......" Qiu Ning wanted to stand up, but was pressed to his seat by Zhou Yanbo, and he could only sigh. Zhou Yanbo asked the guy for a cup and poured a cup of tea for Qiu Ning, Qiu Ning looked at Zhou Yanbo and wanted to say something, but thinking of everything just now, the words came to his mouth and swallowed back into his stomach.
Time passed minute by minute, Zhou Yanbo was still slowly sipping tea, but Yun Yi swallowed a cup of tea in one gulp, Qiu Ning had been looking at Zhou Yanbo with strange eyes, and he didn't move a sip of tea. And the bandits who were subdued kept their faces gray and their heads bowed.
Five or six minutes later, a group of troops appeared in everyone's sight, led by a man in a literary robe with a goatee. The team stopped in front of Zhou Yanbo and the others, and the leader shouted, "Who was making trouble here just now?" ”
Zhou Yanbo stood up and pointed to the bandits on the ground: "My lord, it's them." ”
The leader looked at the bandits on the ground, then at Zhou Yanbo and the others, and suspected: "You subdued it?" ”
"Yes."
"What are you kidding? You three weak scholars, can you subdue such a big man? ”
"I'm not kidding, sir."
"I don't care if you're joking or not, you three, come with me to the City Lord's Mansion, if it's true or not, you'll know when you get there." The lead one is unceremonious.
"What's the reasoning?" Yun Yi stood up, "We caught the bandits, and we want to enter the City Lord's Mansion?" ”
"You want to resist?"
Zhou Yanbo stopped Yun Yi and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, my lord, he has a short temper...... Let's just go. ”
"Or do you understand the matter, come and take the people of the earth away. Forehead...... What's your name? ”
"Jia's Jiabo!"
"Jia's, is it a compound surname? Come on, take Jia's Jiabo and them away. ”
In Yecheng, no matter who commits a crime, they must go to the City Lord's Mansion to be judged by the City Lord and the judge, so the City Lord's Mansion and its bureaucracy constitute the core of Yecheng and manage the daily life of Yecheng. Zhou Yanbo and his entourage were taken to the City Lord's Mansion and waited for the City Lord's arrival in the open space in the front hall of the mansion. Zhou Yanbo looked around: "It's very similar to the front hall of the Zhou family's manor......"
"The city lord and the judge have arrived!" With a sound, everyone's eyes invariably looked towards the front hall: six people came out, and the first one who came out was a short-haired and gray, even the beard was like this, it seemed that he was over fifty years old, but his eyes were bright, he should be the lord of the city; The next four people, dressed the same, although there may be differences in age, but they all have the temperament of a literati, and they should be judges; The last one, dressed simply, highlights the burly figure, and at first glance is a martial arts practitioner.
After the city lord was done in the middle, the four judges also sat down beside the city lord, and the big man stood on the left back side of the city lord. The leader stepped forward, whispered to the city lord and the judge, and then stood aside.
"You guys! The lord of the castle said, "Tell your name one by one!" ”
"Jia's Jiabo."
"Yun Yi"
"Mound ...... Chunin"
……
"I heard that you guys were fighting in Yecheng Street, didn't you?" The city lord then asked.
"My lord......" Yun Yi clasped his hands on his chest, leaned back slightly, and responded lazily, "We didn't fight, we just caught a few bandits......"
"Lord of the Castle!" Without waiting for the city lord to respond, the bandits led by the captured cried out, "You have to be the master for us, we didn't provoke them much, but they played tricks against us." ”
"You guys! Underwhelmed! Yun Yi looked at them, his fists clenched.
"Lord of the Castle! You see, they are the prisoners, the tall man with a fierce face, and the bandit led by the ......" in white still does not give up.
"Bastard! Also loaded! ”
"Enough!" The city lord was obviously impatient, "You all shut up for me!" ”
The front hall suddenly fell silent, and the city lord glanced at the few people in front of him, and asked Yun Yi, "You said they were bandits, what evidence do you have?" ”
Yun Yi was stunned for a moment, and then pointed at Qiu Ning: "He is a victim, you can find out if you ask, city lord." ”
The city lord looked at Qiu Ning, "You say! ”
"This ......" Qiu Ning looked at the bandits and then at Yun Yi, as if he was in a dilemma.
"Under Ye Cheng, what are your worries?" Zhou Yanbo said without moving.
Qiu Ning gritted his teeth: "City Lord, they are bandits, I can testify!" Qiu Ning immediately showed strong evidence. The bandits were very surprised.
The city lord looked at all this and stared at the bandits: "What else do you have to say?" The bandits all bowed their heads and sighed.
The city lord looked at Zhou Yanbo again, and said in his heart: "This kid just said a word, which made the person named Qiu Ning make up his mind...... What the hell is this kid coming from? He immediately pointed at Zhou Yanbo, "What are you doing in Yecheng?" ”
"It's just an ordinary merchant passing by."
"Your name is Jiashi Jiabo?"
"Yes."
"Liar! There is no surname Jia in this world at all, this is probably not your real name. ”
"Your Excellency, you're too arbitrary, the world is full of ......."
"Humph!" The corners of the city lord's mouth raised, he had seen too much like this. The city lord quietly gave the big man behind him a look, and the big man understood, and suddenly rushed out, and punched Zhou Yanbo is punch. Zhou Yanbo subconsciously took out the snow cut and defused the oncoming punch.
"What an 'ordinary' businessman." The lord of the city shouted, "You still don't tell the truth? ”
