The carriage soon departed. Liu Anshi said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Duan is really thoughtful. ”

The prince and the minister must not intersect, otherwise it will be regarded as a major crime - although Liu Anshi may not be counted in this, if he is caught, he can be restored to the status of the minister immediately, and then sent back to the crime, which can easily become a real capital crime, simply and neatly. There is still room for clearly stipulated laws and regulations, but the things that are commonly known as those agreed upon always make people have to die.

Zhao Ji smiled: "I'm just cowardly." Uncle Liu, please come with me. ”

Zhao Ji walked in his place, like the master here.

The door opened quietly, and the servants on both sides saluted him: "His Royal Highness King Duan, please come in quickly." ”

When Liu Anshi walked over, they knelt down in unison.

Liu Anshi was a little surprised. He looked left and right at the servants on either side, feeling a sense of déjà vu—his time had stood still for two years, and the events before that had faded into oblivion.

He looked forward again, and the three house slaves he trusted the most in the past, one with a sword, one with a sword, and one with a hook, stood there, and said respectfully: "Master, welcome home." Wu Jian, Wu Dao, and Wu Hook have been waiting here for a long time. ”

Liu Anshi was surprised: "Is it you?

Wu Jian said: "No. ”

Wu Dao said: "Originally, the house was already dilapidated, and it was smashed in the end, and everyone has gone their separate ways to make a living, but they have never left Bianjing City, and by the way, they found an abandoned courtyard to settle down." Just last night, we happened to hear that the prison had been robbed, and we thought that the master must be coming back, so we gathered here overnight. ”

Wu Gou said: "We spent a night renovating the courtyard, although it still needs to be repaired, but it is still safe for the master to live here." Even if there is any danger, we will protect the master, please rest assured. It's just that we didn't expect that when we were about to come to find the master, His Royal Highness King Duan was the first to find this place, which is also a good thing, otherwise we would be worried about where to find the master!"

Hearing this, Zhao Ji sneered and said, "Who made me love to listen to gossip? I know a little bit about every place in Bianjing City, and I heard that Uncle Liu's compound was gone, and the servants in his family were also scattered, but when someone wanted to invite them to their own house to do things, they refused again, and were only loyal to their original master. If this is true, then you are very credible, and it is much safer to meet here than at my house. Is that so, huh?"

Wu Gou said: "We are willing to do anything for the master." ”

"Really? That's good. Zhao Ji narrowed his eyes and said to Liu Anshi: "I'm not looking for the wrong place, right? Uncle Liu." ”

Liu Anshi nodded and said, "Yes." These people have indeed followed Weichen for decades. ”

So Zhao Ji smiled faintly: "That's great." ”

Liu Anshi didn't see the faint sharp sword light in Zhao Ji's eyes at that time.

When Ye Langxing first became a fast catcher, he was quite ambitious about his future: he studied under Wei Lingyun, a former "No. 1 swordsman in Jiangbei" and a "Weiyang Divine Sword". The master has such a brilliant achievement, and the face of the apprentice is also bright, of course, only when he is apprenticed.

Many years later, Ye Langxing knew how radiant he was when he worshiped his subordinates, and how big a shadow shrouded him when he left the school, which was simply impenetrable.

The apprentice of the first swordsman in Jiangbei was just a catcher, and it was arranged by the master himself, which was really a great shame. It seems very bad to disobey the master's wishes, after all, it is not easy to pull his fatherless and motherless self, so Ye Langxing went hard.

On the first day of the eighteen-year-old, Ye Langxing and a group of unemployed people put on the black clothes of the servants, and became a group of seemingly iron-faced and selfless, but in fact, there are frequent chaos in the government, and they are not a member of the fast catcher.

I don't know what Master An's heart is. If you want him to be a fast catcher, you don't have to entrust someone to arrange it for you, just find a place to recruit at will, as long as it is not a Jiangyang thief and has no record of past crimes, it is really the best arrangement for the unemployed - there is no need to deliberately let people work hard.

Ye Langxing felt that he didn't have to start from such a bottom. He doesn't have the memories of the bottom, the memories before the age of three are lost, but the pictures of living on the streets still often appear in dreams, and they are scary clear.

"Your experience and your personality make you the most suitable person to be a fast catcher. Let you start from the bottom and climb up, so that you can better understand the suffering of the people. - Do you understand?"

Ye Langxing swallowed his white eyes hard, and smiled hard: "Master, what misunderstanding do you have about me? Look at my appearance, can I climb up? If you want to take the opportunity to punish me, you can say it directly, you have to compete with me secretly, don't think I don't know, you told people, except for the yamen in Bianjing, you have secretly ventilated everywhere, I can only stay here and give my life to Lord Liu." Master, Master, why do you keep putting your mind to such a place?"

"Lord Liu is of noble character and fair, he is a scale in Bianjing City, and you will learn a lot by following him. It is precisely because I know that you will think this way that Master asked you to be a catcher. You can only get what you want if you climb up step by step on your own. ”

"I can't get it. According to your arrangement, I will never get it. Ye Langxing said bluntly, "What's more, you also know the status of catching fast, the monthly salary is not as good as your wine money, although you don't let me drink it...... Master, I know the moral standards you taught me, but I really like money! But what about you? ”

Master asked, "Then what do you want to do?"

The matter has come to this point, it cannot be reversed, and it is useless to resist anyway. Ye Langxing thought for a while and said boldly: "Seriously, if you ignore me, maybe I will be a big thief, robbing the rich and helping the poor." ”

He waited for Master to scold him—but it didn't happen.

Master just smiled and said, "I knew you would say that." If you think that rich people are evil, then your pursuit is evil? If you take away the source of their evil, you may not be able to help others, and it is true that you have enjoyed it yourself, and in a sense, you are a more dangerous character. Master will not give you such a chance. Master squinted and smiled, "So, instead of hating Master for not understanding you, it's better to hate Master for understanding you too well, in the end, it's because you can't hide yourself, if you make you a hypocrite, I'm afraid it won't be long before you have to go through it, my precious apprentice." ”

"Isn't it a hypocrite?"

"Wrong. From the current point of view, catching fast is a completely evil person. It just so happens that you're so evil. ”

Not only did he not win, but he was also half angry. In this way, Ye Langxing became a catcher.

As soon as he took office, he assisted in the investigation of an unsolved case of a headless corpse, and he relied on his dead skin and face to turn the secret of more than ten years ago upside down, because he was familiar with every inch of Bianjing to the extent that he could find it with his eyes closed, and he knew very well what was abnormal; and for the murderers, he was able to accurately figure out their inner activities and kill for money, Ye Langxing understood all these truths, and understood them very well.

At that time, he was still a very angry teenager, reckless and brave, and he did not hesitate to suffer bruises all over his body, and his desire to win made him escape death several times. It's just that his heart is still not good, and he has a strange affection for the prisoners, and until he personally escorts the prisoners to the lobby, he still brings sympathy and mercy, except when the execution is carried out.

The price of death was so terrible that he had a deep, indigestible fear, and for a while, he even refused to go out and arrest someone, because he was also afraid of his own death.

It was an extremely painful process to survive the resistance, and he hated everything, even his master, until the master also came to the end of his life.

At that time, Ye Langxing realized that he was a lonely person, and at that time, life and death seemed to have lost their meaning, and he was no longer a person who could not die, but a person who would die when he should die.

At that time, he had been a fast catcher for seven years. When everyone sees him, they will shout Ye Da to catch his head, as if he is the embodiment of justice.

Only he knows that this is not the case. He just didn't care anymore.

If you complete a mission, you will have escaped. In order to celebrate that he is still alive, Ye Langxing will sleep all day, burn a pile of firewood, open the window to prevent being smoked to death, and then close the curtains to cover the sky and the sun, and there are no stars in the dark night, no one can disturb him to enjoy this only safe, quiet, and completely own moment, so that he can calm and make him happy, so that he can go back to his childhood, the first time he slept in the big room, and he didn't have to worry about being driven away in the middle of sleeping, so he slept groggily for three days and two nights, and slept several pounds of meat.

This time he was interrupted. When the little catcher came knocking on his door, he was dreaming of a pretty girl, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, she was gone. He opened his eyes in a daze, thinking that it was really not the right time to wake up, and no matter how certain he was, there was another knock on the door, and he realized that the dream had been artificially interrupted.

He sat up, yawned, got out of bed and walked to the door, still a little delirious when he opened the door. The doors looked twisted, and they opened several times without screwing the handles. In the rush of knocking on the door, he pressed the doorknob one last time, and finally reached it: "Ah...... Is there anything that matters?"

As soon as the cold wind blew, Ye Langxing sobered up for three points. He thought he was going to lose his temper, but he didn't. He suddenly felt very sad, when the bottom line of rest was violated, he didn't complain, he didn't get angry at all, but cared about what was going on.

As soon as the door opened inward, the four teenagers were hit in the face by the heat inside the door, and their faces were pink. They stood outside the door, stunned to see Ye Da Zhutou standing in front of them, his clothes had just woken up.

Ye Langxing yawned: "I'm sleeping." What's the matter?"

"Ye Da catches the head......" Bian Yi looked away, "Aren't you cold if you don't wear clothes?"

The naked Ye Langxing gave them a great visual impact, and for the first time they saw what it was to be thin and strong, with wide shoulders and thin waist, narrow hips and long legs, and there was no extra meat from top to bottom.

- Ye Langxing didn't know for a moment whether to close the door and leave them outside, or to invite them in generously. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Where is it? You go first, and I'll come over later, okay?" ”

Who knew it was such a trivial matter, he thought when he heard the relay of the little catchers.

However, although the matter is a small matter, it may be the tip of the iceberg of a huge time, which is the intuition he has formed over the years of handling the case - if it is concealed, there must be an ulterior secret.

What's more, it involves the same brother. Wang Liefeng is one of the most proud apprentices of the master, Xu is not often seen, so he always remembers it, and praises Wang Liefeng stationed at the border to the sky and the earth, every time he goes to see the master, he always inevitably nods a hundred heads for Wang Liefeng.

Wang Liefeng is really powerful. The highest level of martial arts is not personal grudges, even beyond the scope of rivers and lakes, but to go to the battlefield to defend the family and the country, and charge into battle.

He Ye Langxing is still afraid of death and stingy, but Wang Liefeng does not have these defects, he is simply perfect. If you have to say that there are any shortcomings, you may not take into account your own feelings, and always think about others, especially his tricky and eccentric sister, Wang Liefeng is even more obedient and pampered by her. When she was young, Wang Liefeng hugged her over, Ye Langxing wanted to tease her, but the little girl stretched out her hand and pulled out three of his eyebrows, so painful that he almost burst into tears.

Wang Liefeng came back this time, but something happened. I heard that he committed an accident and was imprisoned in a prison, and at this moment he escaped. Even if he didn't waste a minute against the clock, he would go home first, instead of coming here to drink and chat with King Shen,-for-tat, almost fighting.

Unless it's about his sister.

Unless he went home, but found that something had happened, so he came to Zhao Yan to settle accounts, there would be a picture like the one just now.

What is the matter, can he solve it smoothly, and why do you ask him to protect this little girl who can treat people?......

Ye Langxing's eyelids were so sleepy that when he was about to walk to his house, he suddenly heard the sound of soldiers fighting against each other in the courtyard not far away, which was so piercing that he eliminated his sleepiness.

He rubbed his ears and turned his head, but he couldn't see what was going on inside.

Nosy can easily get into trouble, he thought. There are enough things to do in normal times, so leave the idle things to the knights.

However, as soon as Ye Langxing's body passed, the loud sound of the weapon rose again. At this time, Ye Langxing yawned, and the buzzing tinnitus blocked the sound, but it only made him think that this yawn was even deeper, so he didn't notice the confrontation in this short period of time.

Ye Langxing suddenly felt that he had been too hasty just now.

He did ignore this matter: Bian Yi's kung fu was also counted, but just now he was like an ordinary person who didn't know martial arts, passively attacked and rescued. Not a cause for distraction. In terms of distraction, his whole state is in the clouds, the only difference is the level of martial arts, which also determines the result when the shot; the strength of the two uninvited guests is stronger than Bian Yi, if Bian Yi is not lightly defeated, he may be able to resist, but King Shen is far more than them. Wang Liefeng specially entrusted him to protect people. Ye Langxing can only hope that Bian Yi is a little stronger than he imagined - maybe he is a hidden master - ha, how is it possible?

And the loud noises just now came from Liu Anshi's house.

A young man held two iron judge's pens, one up and down, one horizontal and one vertical, offensive and defending, his muscles were tense, and his eyes were staring at Liu Anshi. Liu Anshi was knocked to the rib by the judge's pen, and he couldn't move in pain for a while, and the whole person collapsed on the chair, Zhao Ji walked over to help him.

His hands were blue-white, dead-gray, comparable to the walls of the room, with light cracks in disrepair.

He was not so much a hunter as a terrible ghost who came to ask for his life: he was dressed in a dark official uniform, the cuffs of the collar were grayish and pale, and the whole of the clothes was a rich dark green, which was too dark, so dark that it was close to gray black, giving people a sense of oppression;
