Chapter 120: Water bandits parade through the streets

The man in white sitting by the window on the third floor of the 'Wangjiang Tower' looked out the window as if enjoying the beautiful scenery, and his ears were really filled with the small discussions of people at several tables nearby.

The discussion came from two men sitting by the window next door, who were sitting at the same table as they were sitting at the same table.

When the wine was half-drunk, one of them looked out the window at the sky and said to the person opposite: "Do you know what is the big event in Xiangyang City today?" ”

The person on the other side turned slightly red, took a sip of wine and said unconcernedly: "Isn't it just that the gang members of the 'Jiaolong Gang' who have done a lot of evil have been arrested, starting from the north gate at noon today, and parading the streets in the city?" A notice was issued in Xiangyang City yesterday, who doesn't know about it? ”

"The person who was arrested is not an ordinary gang, one of them is the fifth leader of the 'Jiaolong Gang', and the time is almost to go downstairs to our 'Wangjiang Tower'." The man leaned down again as he spoke.

"It's strange that you invited me to the third floor for dinner today, it turned out that you wanted to see this, but what is so good about this bandit leader? Isn't it the same as you and me, with two eyes and one nose? The person on the other side stretched out his chopsticks and took a bite of the dish and chewed it slowly.

"You're afraid you're stupid to read during the day, aren't you? I don't even know about this? The man sneered disdainfully, and then said, "Do you know who these five leaders are?" But it's someone you and I know! ”

The person on the other side was shocked, looked left and right, and said to the person: "Don't talk nonsense here, and now the Chu Wangfu and the Zhizhou Mansion are all catching these water bandits, are you asking for trouble?" ”

The man waved his hand and said, "It's okay! This person doesn't say that we know each other, many people in Xiangyang City know him. ”

The person on the other side stopped his chopsticks and asked curiously, "Oh?" Who is the leader of this water bandit, who is so famous in Xiangyang City? ”

The man smiled mysteriously, shook his head and said, "Tao Tie Monk, do you know me?" ”

"Tao Tie Monk? Yes! But Tao Tie Monk, who was a tea doctor in the Wanyuanwai Teahouse? The person on the other side closed his mouth in surprise.

"Hey, hey! Could it be him? You and I have been drinking tea in that teahouse for many years, and we often go to the dry tea shop outside the ten thousand people to buy tea, so we are still familiar with Tao Tie Monk, right? The man smirked at the revelation.

The casual discussion between the two was heard by the people at the other tables not far from them, and the faces of the people at those tables also showed surprise, as if they were no strangers to this Tao Tie monk. For a while, there were more and more topics surrounding this Tao Tie monk, and the voice of discussion gradually became louder.

The gossip topic in this world is always the favorite of idlers, including men, women and children. And the restaurant teahouse is one of the fastest derivative places of gossip.

The man in white sitting by the window came here with his entourage to eat, one of the purposes was to inquire about the things in Xiangyang City in the mouth of the restaurant Xiaoer at the time of checkout, but the meal had not yet come up, but he heard such a hot thing first, and he could make that pre-dinner refreshment.

It is not unusual for the original Dr. Tea to be the leader of the five bandits, and it is not new for him to kidnap the daughter of the previous owner, but the man in white is most concerned about the fact that he caught the 'Jiaolong Gang' and paraded through the streets.

Xiangyang City only opened one door, and the investigation into the city was very tight, it turned out to be related to this matter, but the arrest of the water bandits was originally a matter of the Zhizhou Mansion, why did it have a relationship with the Chu Wangfu? The more the man in white thought about it, the more he felt that there were too many strange things behind it.

He couldn't help frowning, and after only a few sips of a good pot of tea, there was no movement until the smell of fish wafted into his nose, and the man in white woke up.

The pot of 'Zhuye Qing', which is said to be Xiangyang's famous wine, was also sent along with the steamed bream, and the man in white secretly laughed at his habit of being careful about everything.

After laughing at himself, he picked up the chopsticks and gently pinched a piece of bream meat and put it in his mouth.

"Ah Yan, you also try this bream, the taste is excellent, and the aftertaste is endless." The man in white pointed to the shrunken bream and said to the man in the brown shirt.

"Master, you try this 'Bamboo Leaf Green', that Xiao Er said that it tastes better with bream." The brown-shirted man named Ah Yan did not shrink his gream with chopsticks, but poured a glass of pale cyan wine for his master.

These two are Zhao Xian's master and servant who came all the way to Xiangyang from Bianliang, and the two have not changed their appearance now, but just combed the man's hairstyle and dressed up in men's clothes.

'Wangjiang Tower' is worthy of being the largest and most famous restaurant in Xiangyang City, with so many customers up and down on the fourth floor, but the speed of cooking is not slow, and after a while, the remaining three dishes are also coming up one after another.

In addition to the slightly spicy taste, these dishes have the characteristics of both color, flavor and flavor, and Zhao Xian and the others ate with relish, and there was not much left in a pot of wine after a while.

Zhao Xian called Xiao Er and was about to settle the bill, when there was a sound of "dangdangdang" downstairs, accompanied by the sound of wheels "creaking", mixed with messy footsteps and large and small voices, slowly approaching.

The sound of the endless discussion on the third floor stopped abruptly, and the two people who were the first to discuss at the table by the window hurriedly stood up and looked under the window, one of them pointed to the place not far downstairs, and shouted: "Coming, coming!" Look! It's coming! ”

Zhao Xian was full of wine and food, and she was not interested in the people who paraded the streets, but the monk called Tao Tie finally became a doctor of tea after more than ten years.

"Let one go, let one go! Don't stand in the way! More than a dozen officials shouted and blocked the crowd approaching.

Downstairs, the wheels pressed over the ground, and slowly walked to the outside of the "Wangjiang Tower", a group of people followed the prisoners to parade through the street to see the excitement, and the guests in the restaurants, teahouses, and inns near the Wangjiang Tower also stood on the street and surrounded the prisoner car and pointed and pointed.

When the prisoner car arrived outside the 'Wangjiang Tower', it was surrounded by people nearby, but it could no longer move forward half a step.

Zhao Xian heard the sound, looked sideways under the window, and saw four people in the prisoner car, all with their hair scattered, although there were no traces of useless torture on their faces, but looking at their depressed complexions, they must have been tortured.

"Look! Isn't that the Tao Tie Monk? I haven't seen him for two years, but his appearance hasn't changed! The man next door pointed to one of them.

Zhao Xian followed the man's finger and saw a person in the prisoner car, about thirty years old, medium build, with nothing special on his face, but the corners of his mouth had deep smile lines, which was obviously related to Dr. Cha's long-term smiling profession, this person was Tao Tie Monk?

The prisoner car happened to stop directly below Zhao Xian's gaze, and the Tao Tie Monk raised his head and looked at Zhao Xian, but his eyes gently swept over her and looked higher.

Zhao Xian also raised her head in surprise, the higher place that Tao Tieseng looked at turned out to be the fourth floor of the "Wangjiang Tower", but she suddenly realized that she secretly said, "Not good!" ”

Downstairs, more than a dozen officials were laboriously dispersing the crowd of people who were getting closer and closer, and there were only two indifferent sword-wielding officials standing next to the prisoner car.

At this time, a sudden change occurred!
