One day in the middle of summer, the sun is hot. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the official road, two fast horses galloped, and sitting on the horses were two young men, who seemed to be dressed as if they were masters and servants.

The young man who walked in front was called Zhao Renjie, the new champion of the Kongkong Dynasty, and the patrol of the eight mansions. The young man behind him was his follower Zhao Yu, who was extraordinary.

The two came to the three-way intersection, and Zhao Renjie grabbed the horse's head.

"Young Master, what's wrong? Is it the wrong way? Zhao Yu caught up and asked.

"We're going to Yangzhou, there are two avenues in front of us, I don't know which one is a shortcut?" Zhao Renjie said.

"The little one hasn't been to Yangzhou, I don't know which direction? Young master, you are knowledgeable and well-informed, and you should know the route to Yangzhou. Zhao Yu said.

"I have lived in the north since I was a child, I have never been to the south, I only know that Li Bai's poems have 'the old man left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March, the lonely sail was far away and the blue sky was exhausted, and only the Yangtze River skyline flowed', I think Yangzhou should be by the Yangtze River, and we will go to the Yangtze River and then do the calculation." Zhao Renjie said.

"Young master, it's so hot, I've been on the road for most of the day, I'm thirsty and hungry, it's better to sit down and rest for a while." Zhao Yu proposed.

"Okay!" Zhao Renjie jumped off the horse, tied the horse to the stump by the side of the road, and sat in the shade to enjoy the coolness.

Zhao Yu stood next to him after dismounting, looking around.

"Young master, the water bag is out of water, you wait here, I'll go get some water." Zhao Yu said and left.

"Go and get back." Zhao Renjie advised.

Zhao Yu hurried away with a water bag, and Zhao Renjie sat against the big tree, fanning the fan while reading a book.

Zhao Renjie has no other hobbies, he likes to read some books on solving cases on weekdays, especially admiring Di Renjie and Bao Longtu's talent for solving cases. Since he did the Eight Mansions Patrol, Zhao Renjie has been more diligent, and along the way, he always likes to go deep into the people, inquire about some people's sufferings, and investigate cases by the way.

This time the situation was very different, Yangzhou had a bloody case that shocked the government and the opposition, the official ship was robbed, the official messenger was killed, the Qincha disappeared mysteriously, the suburban villages were turned into ashes overnight, and a bloody case was transmitted to the emperor, the emperor was furious, and sent Zhao Renjie to Yangzhou to solve the case as soon as possible.

Zhao Renjie was under the emperor's order, he didn't dare to slack off, he didn't move the people like other Qincha, for the convenience of doing things, he only took his follower Zhao Yu, dressed as an ordinary person, and left the capital overnight.

It was quite peaceful along the way, and Zhao Renjie was secretly happy in his heart.

"In the past, when the prince went to seek immortals, he only wanted to go to nine days; Only seven days in the mountains, that knows the world for hundreds of years. - "An old road came from the avenue on the left.

Zhao Renjie stood up, greeted him with a smile on his face and asked, "Dao Chief, excuse me, how to go to Yangzhou?" ”

Lao Dao stopped and carefully looked at the young man in front of him, but seeing that he was full of heaven and the earth was round, there was a sense of righteousness between his eyebrows.

"Young man, are you going to Yangzhou? I heard that Yangzhou has not been peaceful recently, and I advise you not to take risks. Lao Dao said.

"I know Yangzhou is not peaceful, but I have something important to do and have to go." Zhao Renjie said.

"Seeing that the donor is not an ordinary young man, may I ask, does the donor go to Yangzhou to do business or solve the case?" The old Taoist priest asked suddenly.

Zhao Renjie was stunned when he heard this, they were so disguised and disguised, the old Taoist priest actually broke it in one word. It seems that this veteran is not an ordinary person.

He took a closer look at the old Dao, but saw: the crane hair is childish, the spirit is strong, wearing a gray Taoist robe, carrying a three-foot Longquan sword at his waist, and holding Buddha dust in his hand, not a fairy, better than a fairy.

"I am an ordinary businessman, I went to Yangzhou to do business, and I also have a brother who went to fetch water at the moment. We are northerners, because we went to Yangzhou for the first time, we don't know the route, so we asked. Zhao Renjie bowed and said.

Lao Dao smiled indifferently and said: "The donor doesn't have to hide it, the poor Taoist has read countless people, and he has the bottom in his heart." Maybe it's inconvenient for the donor to explain his identity, the mountains don't turn around, and we will meet again in the future. Yangzhou takes the left avenue, and you can arrive in two days. That's all the poor said, and he took his leave. The old man said that he walked on the song again.

"In the past, the prince went to seek immortals, and he only wanted to go to the nine heavens......"

Seeing the old road go away, Zhao Renjie suddenly panicked in his heart, as if bad luck was about to come.

"Zhao Yu has been gone for a while and hasn't come back, is there an accident? What is this old way sacred? He seemed to know who I was. Worst! We're being targeted. Zhao Renjie's heart tightened when he thought of this.

On the south side of the avenue, a few fast horses came, raising billowing dust and smoke.

Several fast horses came to a stop at the three-way intersection, and several of them wore cloaks, black cloaks, and swords at their waists.

"Young man, do you want to go to Yangzhou?" The man in front asked.

Zhao Renjie looked at those people carefully, and saw that they were all covering half of their faces, and they couldn't see their true faces clearly.

"Who are you?" Zhao Renjie asked.

"Hahaha...... We are visitors from hell, and we are here to see you across the bridge. The man in front of him laughed maniacally.

Zhao Renjie heard this, and complained in his heart, but he didn't mess up.

"Big brothers, I don't know you, I have no grievances or hatreds, why do you say that?" Zhao Renjie asked.

"Of course, we don't have a grudge, but after you died, we made a grudge. Zhao Renjie, you shouldn't come to Yangzhou, today next year will be your death day, and our brothers will burn some paper money for you at that time. The tall fat man in front said.

"Zhao Renjie? Who is Zhao Renjie? Big brothers, you are mistaken, I am not Zhao Renjie, my name is Zhao Youren. Zhao Renjie said.

"Humph! Don't quibble, we already knew that you were Zhao Renjie, and your follower was Zhao Yu, and he had been slaughtered by us. The man sneered.

When Zhao Renjie heard that Zhao Yu had an accident, he suddenly felt cold. He knew that his identity had been exposed, and no matter how he said it, it would be in vain, so he had to say with a serious expression: "A few good men, it is convenient for you to be with others, I know that you are not great evildoers, as long as you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I will not blame the past." ”

"Fuck you! Lao Tzu is a visitor from hell, do you know what the identity of a visitor from hell is? Like black and white impermanence, it is specially designed to send people to hell. Zhao Renjie, do you know whose territory Yangzhou is? Do you dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head? ”

Zhao Renjie was shocked when he heard this: "It seems that these people came prepared, and they were bribed." The Yangzhou bloody case is full of suspicions, the mastermind behind this scene must not be an ordinary person, could it be a certain official in the capital? Zhao Renjie was not sure for a while, but there is no doubt that the Yangzhou bloody case is related to the government.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Zhao is a newcomer, he is not familiar with the place, and there is a lack of helpers around him, I think you are not people who have lost their conscience, it is better to return to the official and get an errand in the yamen. I wonder what you think? Zhao Renjie said tentatively.

"The surname Zhao, don't be coy here, people in your official mansion have always had different hearts. If our brothers don't eat that, you will die! Brethren, leave not alive. The fat man shouted, and a few horses behind him came over and surrounded Zhao Renjie in the middle.

Zhao Renjie knew that he could not escape death, so he simply shouted: "Come on!" Grandpa is a good man again twenty years later. He didn't dodge, he closed his eyes and waited for fate.

The killers were surprised to see Zhao Renjie waiting for death with his eyes closed, they didn't do it immediately, they just wanted to see the painful expression of this young Bafu patrol before he died.

When the fat man saw it, he clapped his horse and shouted: "Lord Zhao, I'm sorry!" "Swing your sword and stab it.

At this moment, a dart struck, hitting the wrist of the man holding the sword, and the man screamed in pain, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.

"Hugh is rude!" A white shadow floated in, and the sound reached the people.

"Who are you? Why meddle? The tall fat man asked, stunned.

"I'm a passer-by, and I happened to pass by here and saw a few of you bullying a helpless scholar, and I came to meddle in my business. The so-called road is uneven and draws a knife to help! The man in white said.

Zhao Renjie opened his eyes and saw the personable young man in white, and he liked it kindly. "This young man in white is extraordinary, if he is willing to follow me, it would be great!" Zhao Renjie has the heart to recruit talents, but it is difficult to speak.

When several killers saw that the person who came was just a young man in white, they didn't pay attention to it, they surrounded the young man in white, and swung their swords together.

The young man in white dealt with four or five people alone, and he was not afraid, only to see him jumping and moving his hands quickly, his sword out of the sheath was like a dragon going out to sea, and the sword was shining with cold light with one move.

Zhao Renjie stood aside and watched dumbfounded. The two sides fought for more than 20 rounds, and several killers gradually lost their support, and the leader jumped out of the circle, whistled, and the rest jumped out of the circle together, rode on their horses and galloped north.

The young man in white didn't chase after him, inserted the sword into the scabbard, and came to Zhao Renjie and asked with concern: "Lord Zhao, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay! Thanks to Shaoxia's rescue, Zhao is grateful. Zhao Renjie said sincerely.

"Your Excellency is so polite, I also came by order. Keeping you safe is my job, and adults don't have to worry about it. The young man in white said with a smile.

Zhao Renjie was confused, he didn't know who this young man in white was? Whose order was he? Why is it his job to keep me safe? Could it be that he is a master of Ouchi sent by the imperial court?

"May I ask the young man's name? Where did it come from? How do you know that I am Zhao Renjie? How do you know I'm in trouble? Zhao Renjie asked suspiciously.

"Every move of the adult is under the control of the family teacher, and the family teacher has sent me to rescue the adult when he is in trouble." The young man in white said.

"Who is Venerable Master? Why does he care about me so much? I've never met him? How could it be ......? Zhao Renjie was puzzled.

"You see—that's the family teacher, he's coming." The young man in white said, pointing to the woods.

Zhao Renjie looked in the direction of his finger and suddenly frowned.
