Chapter 11: An Unexpected Ending
A few minions quickly approached Zhang Zhen, staring fiercely, looking for an opportunity to restrain Zhang Zhen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhang Zhen shrank slightly behind Fan Meng, pushing Fan Meng's body in front.
Dongzi, who had just won the battle, had a gloomy face and was almost dripping, he reacted quickly, and after seeing the situation clearly, he pulled the seriously injured Wu Xiaoran over as soon as possible, and buckled his fingers like a hook around her neck.
There were hostages on both sides, and the situation immediately pulled back a few points.
"Let my cousin go." Dongzi was the first to speak, and at the same time increased the force in his hand. Wu Xiaoran endured it and didn't make a sound, but there was still a trace of pain on his face.
Zhang Zhen didn't speak, the short sword pulled down, and a trace of blood flowed out of Fan Meng's neck, gathered at the tip of the short sword, and then dripped down.
Dongzi's brows furrowed, and the muscles of his cheeks near his jaw trembled.
"Hahahaha......" It was Fan Meng who smiled, he turned his head and stared at Zhang Zhen with burning eyes, with a little admiration: "Boy, you are very kind!" It's kind of more than those who are full of mouths and would rather not bend than the heavens and the earth! If it were a different place, I would definitely treat you to two bowls. Let's talk about what's going on in front of you. ”
"Let her go, before the two of you canceled the bet, I will let you go. Of course, this shop is still yours. Zhang Zhen looked at Wu Xiaoran under Dongzi's hand and said very calmly.
Fan Meng laughed again, looking at Zhang Zhen like a fool: "I said brother, for your guts, I will call you brother." I don't think you look like a person with a lack of heart, how can you talk without a brain? As he spoke, he stretched out his middle finger and pointed at his neck, gritted his teeth and said, "Punch me on the neck, I tell you very seriously, I will kill your whole family." ”
Zhang Zhen added a little force to his hand, the blood on Fan Meng's neck flowed faster, he closed his mouth very familiarly, and held back all the cruel words in his stomach, and his face became ugly.
"Kill my whole family?" Zhang Zhen smiled: "I can't find out where my family is, if you can really find it, I want to thank you." Please tell me before you kill them, and I'll cheer you on. ”
"I'm going to let you die a miserable death." Fan Meng's tone calmed down a little. This was said to Zhang Zhen, but more of his own gambling curse, he also saw that the young man in front of him who opened a noodle restaurant was not a master who could scare with cruel words.
"I know." Zhang Zhen said very easily: "How do you want to kill me?" Gouging your eyes and shaving your nose? Five horses split? A thousand cuts? Whatever you want. But before killing me, I still advise you to let Miss Wu go first, so that you can kill me and I am willing. If you don't be accommodating at all, I have no way out but to die with you. Second Master Fan, you are a well-known figure in Tongyu City, I will fight the small people, I can pull you to accompany the funeral, how do you look at it, this transaction is all earned by me, what do you think? ”
"This gambling fight was promised by herself, and Lao Tzu never spit out the meat in her mouth." Fan Meng stared at Wu Xiaoran and said fiercely.
Zhang Zhen gently pulled the short sword in his hand to the side again, Fan Meng's body suddenly stiffened, and the majesty on his face condensed.
"Even if I let her go, how do I know if you'll let me go?" Seeing that Zhang Zhen could really do it, Fan Meng's tone softened a little.
"I can't guarantee it, but I can guarantee that if you don't let her go, you won't survive."
"Let go! Dongzi, you ...... Let her go. Fan Meng took a few heavy breaths, and said to Dongzi with a cloudy face.
Dongzi stared at Zhang Zhen like a poisonous snake for a while, and finally pushed Wu Xiaoran away as if he was angry. Wu Xiaoran staggered a few steps, and after standing firmly, he looked at Zhang Zhen, his lips moved, but he didn't speak, and his expression was complicated.
"Shopkeeper! Shopkeeper's! I've got the old men! The shopkeeper's ......" There was a commotion in the street, and a loud voice sounded, and then the fat cook was seen squeezing in from the crowd.
He only shouted half of his words, and when he saw the situation in the store clearly, he was stunned at the door.
Behind the fat cook was a group of officials in tolerance robes, and more than 20 people rushed in and immediately surrounded Zhang Zhen and Fan Meng in the lobby, and the leader was Xing Zhutou.
Zhang Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, there have been frequent troubles these days, it seems that the fat cook has also learned to be smart, when he saw that the situation was not right, he didn't have to explain himself, so he secretly went to report to the official. With so many officials here, Fan Meng shouldn't dare to blatantly treat himself.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Zhen let go of the short sword and flashed to the side.
Xing Zhutou looked at Wu Xiaoran with a serious expression, and then at Zhang Zhen, and finally his eyes fell on the bleeding wound on Fan Meng's neck, and his brows furrowed deeply, looking like he was facing a great enemy.
"I've heard there's a big fight here, what the hell is going on?" Xing Zhutou asked Zhang Zhen. He deliberately put on a posture of routine official business without knowing the situation, but in fact, only he knows how nervous he is. When the fat cook ran to the yamen and said that Miss Wu was fighting with Fan Meng, Wu Xianling was so frightened that the jade lion worth thousands of taels in his hand fell to the ground.
Wu Xianling wanted to bring someone himself, but he didn't dare, and he couldn't. The Black Tiger Gang covers the sky in Tongyu City, and many violations of law and discipline are turned a blind eye to the Yamen, and the people of the Black Tiger Gang are also very knowledgeable and did not deliberately find the stubble of the Yamen, so the two gangs are relatively safe. But if he personally brings people over, and Fan Meng dignitaries and even do it in front of the gongs and drums, it is equivalent to two factions of people tearing their faces, and in the future, his yamen will have no good life in Tongyu City.
The fat cook watched Wu Xianling sweat and paced back and forth in the county hall several times before he ordered Xing Zhutou to bring people over, and repeatedly explained that he must put on a businesslike attitude, just take Miss Wu back, and don't do anything with Fan Meng's people.
There are more than 20 officials, this is all the manpower that Wu County's order can use.
"This master is inexplicably beating people, Miss Wu can't look at it and help, so they will be embarrassed by Miss Wu." Seeing that Xing Zhutou was asking himself, Zhang Zhen honestly told him about the matter.
"Miss, you're here. Before I came, my lord lost his temper with me, saying that you would not go back to your house, and that you would cause trouble everywhere, so I must take you back when I see you. Who are you doing it with this time? Yo-" Xing Zhutou seemed to have just seen Fan Meng, and immediately changed his smiling face, and said, "Isn't this Second Master Fan-why is Second Master in the mood to come to a small noodle restaurant to eat today?" This is a lot of money. ”
Fan Meng looked at the officials around him with a cold face, how could he not understand what Xing Zhutou meant. The situation is stronger than people, some accounts can be calculated later, what he wants to do most now is how to kill Zhang Zhen in the most cruel way.
"The surname Xing, take her with you and leave immediately!" Fan Meng pointed at Wu Xiaoran, and then pointed out the door.
"Good, good...... Second master, you are busy with yours, let's go. Xing Zhutou breathed a sigh of relief and arched his hands and said continuously, and then he was about to pull Wu Xiaoran away.
Wu Xiaoran looked at Zhang Zhen a little anxiously, and said to Xing Zhutou: "What about him?" Bring him back with you. ”
Xing Zhutou said in a low voice with a bitter face: "Miss, Lord Wu strictly ordered us to take you back, and the rest...... We can't take care of it......"
Wu Xiaoran said very indignantly: "I'm not leaving!" If you don't take him with you, I won't leave!" ”
"Eldest Miss......" Seeing Wu Xiaoran's resolute attitude, Xing Zhutou waved his hand and said to the official next to him: "Hurry up, bring the eldest lady back." ”
Zhang Zhen just watched quietly, and after introducing the general situation to Xing Zhutou, he didn't say more, he didn't put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance to persuade Wu Xiaoran to leave, nor did he ask Wu Xiaoran to take him away, and he didn't naively ask Xing Zhutou to uphold justice.
No matter what he says, there will be people who are embarrassed, and there will also be people who are resentful, so it is better to be silent.
The two officials stepped forward and prepared to forcibly pull Wu Xiaoran away.
Wu Xiaoran struggled for a while, and seemed to have compromised, she glanced at Zhang Zhen deeply, then lowered her head and let the two servants pull her out.
Zhang Zhen smiled lightly, he didn't have any mood fluctuations in his heart, no complaints, no cold sighs, and no sarcasm, just a simple smile. To be honest, he couldn't figure out why he was laughing.
Seeing that the purpose of his trip had been achieved, Xing Zhutou had no choice but to leave this fire pit as soon as possible, and hurriedly said goodbye to Fan Meng: "Second master, there is a lot of disturbance, I will take my people back first, and I will come to the door to apologize another day......"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a cold in his neck, so he immediately stopped, according to his more than ten years of experience as a fast catcher, it was a knife.
Xing Zhutou stiffened his neck and looked down, and sure enough, it was a knife, a standard waist knife with yamen tolerance, and there was a gap in the back of the knife. Xing Zhutou was too familiar with this knife, and the notch in the back of the knife was pulled out when the crowbar was used, which was his own waist knife. He looked along the blade of the knife, the handle of the waist knife was in Wu Xiaoran's hand, and she was looking at him with a frosty face.
"Miss, you ......"
"Let your people take him away, or don't blame me for being rude!" Wu Xiaoran held a knife in one hand and pointed at Zhang Zhen with the other.
Zhang Zhen sighed: "You don't have to be so ......"
Wu Xiaoran deliberately ignored Zhang Zhen, just stared at Xing Zhutou, waiting for him to speak.
