Chapter 352: The Wicked Stand in the Way
Hearing that Hong Seyan has been accepted into the Governor's Mansion and settled, Yao'er expected that nothing would happen today, Hong Seyan had just arrived, no matter how anxious he was, he had to communicate with the local officials first and get their assistance.
However, Hong Seyan will not drag on for too long, with this fierce and thunderous style, if there is no movement within three days, then it proves that this Hong Seyan is only going out for money and does not want to kill people. Because they have verified that the rebels are making something out of nothing, it is impossible to investigate them carefully and look for real evidence.
Yao'er decided to stay here for three days, and if she didn't see any bloody actions from Hong Seyan within three days, she would leave immediately to see what the imperial historians in other places were doing.
Chen Shimei went and returned, he had already decided that Yao'er was a charlatan, and now this liar appeared in such a remote place, obviously committing a crime and was wanted by the imperial court.
That's enough, can a fugitive who has no roots in this place escape the palm of his hand?
Chen Shimei left with a sneer, he made up his mind to inflict all the humiliation and pain he had suffered over the years on Yao'er one by one! Of course, there is also a Shen Ren who is drunk as a housekeeper!
……
Yao'er and Shen Rendrunk were mainly wandering around the Governor's Mansion to monitor the movements of the Governor's Mansion. At noon, the two went to a small shop, ordered a few snacks such as smoked chicken, bacon, rotten fish, etc., and ate slowly.
This small restaurant was built on the street directly opposite the Governor's Palace, and it was built as a chaplain of Hong Seyan. If you want to leave the Governor's Palace, you must go through the main gate, where you can monitor his movements.
With a strike lunch. I asked the store for a pot of tea. The afternoon weather made people a little drowsy, after the meal, the business of the small restaurant gradually cooled down, and finally only Yao'er and Shen Renzui, who were sitting at the front table, were still drinking tea slowly, and even the shopkeepers were lying on the counter and fell asleep.
When the tea in the big iron kettle was about to be drunk, the door of the governor's mansion suddenly opened.
The two of them immediately refreshed themselves and looked at the Governor's Mansion with alarm.
From the rear of the Governor's Palace. A group of about 300 officers and soldiers hurriedly came and assembled in front of the gate and lined up. The knives and guns in their hands flickered, the cold was pressing, and the people on the street suddenly quieted down and flashed to the side of the road. Whisper. Ask each other about it.
A few moments later, several people came out of the governor's palace, some led their horses in front of them, several turned over their horses, and galloped towards this side of the road, hundreds of officers and soldiers ran after them.
Yao'er glanced coldly, and from the few people on horseback, he saw Hong Seyan. Yao'er gave Shen Rendrunk a look and immediately lowered his head. Lowered the bamboo hat she had bought in the morning while wandering around the town. Shen Rendrunk got up and walked to the counter, knocked on the table with his fingers bent, and the shopkeeper of the small shop who was dreaming of Zhou Gong with his mouth open opened a pair of hazy sleepy eyes and looked at him blankly.
Shen Ren drunkenly said: "Checkout!" ”
Hundreds of officers and soldiers surrounded the Imperial Emperor Shi Hong Seyan and the armored general next to him out of the city and rushed to the mountains to the southeast.
Yao'er, who followed all the way out of the city, guessed that the general who was dressed all over his body should be Luo Chunyun, the governor of Benzhou.
Yao'er glanced at where they were going, there was a big river on one side and a rolling mountain range on the other, there was only one road ahead, and their only target could only be the valley in front of them, and according to the news that Yao'er had heard from the people in the city, the exiles who had been assigned here were placed there.
Yao'er and Shen Ren were drunk on an oblique turn, wanting to intercept the trail, just turned onto the trail, suddenly noticed that there was something strange behind him, Yao'er turned his head to take a look, and saw a few men with cloth scarves, oblique blankets, and bare feet, dressed as local people, were rushing here, and there was still a stone's throw away from them.
Yao'er frowned, and suddenly became a little alert, there are naturally pedestrians on this road, Yao'er went all the way down, and has seen the farmer leading the buffalo, the porter pulling the mule and horse, and the village girl carrying the bamboo basket, but these four or five people ...... It seems that they have been dropping out all the time.
"They're coming for me? No......, no one here knows my identity, Hong Seyan doesn't know, and no one in Xuelian's family will pay attention, who else in this city can pay attention to me? If it is said that the thief of the cut path is robbing money, there is nothing valuable on me that attracts the covetousness of those who want to covet it. ”
Yao'er thought secretly, and suddenly quickened her pace, on one side of the path was a high reed pond, on the other side was a half-man-high weedy field, and in the middle of a gravel path was uneven, not suitable for cars and horses to pass, and could only be used for walking, the two of them hurriedly walked for a while, and when they came to a relatively straight section, they suddenly turned their heads and looked.
She saw the figures of those people again, and those people were still behind them, and when they saw her turn around, one of them subconsciously wanted to dodge.
"Sure enough, it's coming for us!" Shen Ren's curiosity was aroused, he really didn't understand who would pay attention to them in this place, and what purpose it was.
Shen Ren was intoxicated with thoughts, suddenly took Yao'er's hand, and turned into running, and the few people who were following him were in a hurry, so they didn't care about hiding their figures, and immediately strode to catch up, and the two groups of people ran wildly, startling groups of birds and wild ducks flying around in the reeds.
The two of them ran for a while, and suddenly stopped and drilled into the reeds by the roadside, wanting to wait for the people to chase closer, and asked them why, but they saw two children squatting in the reeds with both hands.
This is a man and a woman, the woman is older, the little village girl is dressed, not beautiful, but also delicate, about twelve or thirteen years old, carrying a bamboo basket on her shoulder, the bamboo basket contains wild vegetables. Next to him was a boy, only six or seven years old, born with a tiger's head, and his face was a healthy black and red.
The little boy was holding a duck egg in his hand, and the smile of surprise on his face had not yet disappeared, it seemed that he had just picked up a wild duck egg from the reeds, and suddenly saw a man breaking into the roadside, and the little boy was a little frightened. He grabbed the duck eggs, called out timidly, "Sister", and hid behind the little village girl.
The little village girl stood up vigilantly. Throwing away a piece of plant root that he had just dug up, he grabbed the small wooden shovel tightly and protected the boy behind him.
Seeing their ragged clothes, and then thinking of where they are at the moment, it can already be determined that they are the children of those wanderers, looking at this pair of young brothers, Yao'er's heart is sour. From this pair of young brothers, he seems to see his distant childhood and see that distant brother.
Haruka sniffed. Trying to make the kindest smile possible, he said in the gentlest voice: "Don't be afraid, there are a few bad people chasing after my brothers and sisters, this place is not very safe now." Little sister. Take your brother away. ”
At this time, the footsteps of those people chased after them, and they could already be seen getting closer and closer through the cracks in the reeds, and the little girl was startled, and looked at Yao'er timidly, and then took her brother's little hand, and she did not dare to step on the avenue, so she ran forward with a shallow foot in the reeds.
Yao'er turned her head to glance at the people who were getting closer and closer. Then he shouted to the little girl, "Don't worry, there are brothers and sisters in their way." Take your brother down the road, beware of snake bites. ”
Several people caught up, heard Yao'er's words, and then looked at the little girl and her brother who were running away quickly in the reeds, with a puzzled look on their faces, and after looking Yao'er up and down, a man who was forty miles away, tall and thin, with a horse's face and a hooked nose, turned his head and asked the other person: "I said the sixth child, these two people are really rich?" Don't be a poor outcast. ”
The eyes of a thin man with a centipede scar on his face flashed, and he said, "It can't be wrong!" I know them, these two are not outcasts, but some of their relatives have been assigned here. Hey! You also know that most of the people who are assigned here are eunuchs, and this person is here to visit the relatives who have been assigned, do you think he can bring no money? ”
This person is Chen Shimei, back then he was able to coax Mrs. Yao to get started, but he was also a master who could speak well, and now he saw that Yao'er and Shen Rendrunk had contact with Liuren, and several accomplices who were coaxed by him became suspicious, and they immediately made up a set of nonsense, combined with the current situation, it was quite like that, and the doubts of several accomplices were suddenly dissipated.
Several people divided left and right, blocking Yao'er's way, one of them fiddled with a ronin sword with a seriously worn scabbard, and said in a gloomy voice: "Boy, our brother just wants to ask for money, acquaintance, take out all your valuable things, uncle will naturally spare your life, otherwise...... This little lady...... Hey! ”
As he spoke, he slowly pulled out the sharp ronin sword from the sheath and intimidated Shen Renzui and Yao'er.
Shen Ren was drunk and ignored him, the reason why he wanted to entangle with these people was because he wanted to find out the intentions of these people, and when he learned that these people were just a group of path-cutting thieves, he wanted to solve it quickly, and quickly turned out these deaths, and he and Yao'er had to rush to see what Hong Seyan wanted.
Shen Rendrunk was about to make a move, but what the man with a centipede scar on his face said attracted Yao'er's attention, Yao'er glanced at him curiously, and asked, "Who is under the feet, do you recognize me?" ”
The tall and thin man holding the ronin sword saw Yao'er asking Chen Shimei, he was standing beside Yao'er with a bright long sword but was treated as air by Yao'er, and couldn't help but be furious, and said: "Little Niangpi, toast and don't eat and drink!" Solve your concubine first, brother, I'll treat you again......" As he spoke, he slashed at Shen Rendrunk with a sword.
In this kind of place, it is easier to kill a person than a dead dog, kill someone and throw it into the field, the officials will not be prosecuted, the people will not raise it, and there will be no trouble.
As soon as the tall and thin man raised his sword, a huge fist flew over, and with a "bang", he was punched on the bridge of his nose, and his head "buzzed", and he didn't know anything.
Several other people saw that Shen Rendrunk raised his hand, and the tall and thin man fell straight down, his face was covered with blood, and the bridge of his nose collapsed into his cheeks, and his appearance was shocked, and he couldn't help but be shocked and angry.
Shen Ren was drunk and couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he saw him dangling a shot. Shen Ren was drunk and didn't move, only bent his knees, his body sank, the man flew up and swept on Yao'er's legs, like an iron pillar in the middle, he screamed in pain, and curled up into a ball with his calves. His force this time is really not small, looking at the deformed appearance of the calf, I am afraid that it has been broken.
At this time, another person took out a bull's ear sharp knife from his sleeve and slashed it at Shen Renzui's chest, Shen Renzui dodged sideways, raised his left leg, kicked sideways, and hit the person's ribs with his toes, and the man's ribs were broken three times. Spurting blood, he fell into the weeds.
The remaining two people are Chen Shimei and a short man, the two of them couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw this handsome man so powerful, Chen Shimei hesitated and didn't dare to step forward, the short and fat man was drunk by Shen Ren, but he roared, waved the ronin sword in his hand, and the sword light carried a sharp roar, slashing at Shen Rendrunk's shoulder and neck.
The sword light suddenly slashed, and Shen Rendrunk didn't seem to have time to dodge, only to see the sword light flash. Split Shen Ren's drunken shoulder strap into two pieces, Chen Shimei was overjoyed when he saw this, and then he felt a little regretful, in his opinion, Shen Rendrunk died like this after all, it was cheap, and Chen Shimei still had many vicious calculations that were not imposed on him.
However, after the ronin sword slashed through the figure, the blood light did not burst out, the afterimage of Shen Ren's drunkenness disappeared, and his figure appeared a zhang away, standing there quietly, Humpty Dumpty was like a ghost, he roared in horror, did not retreat, but advanced, and desperately waved the ronin sword. A slash strengthened his guts.
Shen Ren retreated drunk, retreated again, and sighed: "This place is fierce, and it really treats human life like a mustard!" ”
The cold light of the ronin sword in Humpty Dumpty's hand flashed, and a bush of reeds where Shen Renzui stood was broken in response, and the Shen Rendrunk who flashed again approached and slashed at the neck of the dwarf winter melon with a heavy palm, this palm knife Yao'er did not show mercy to his subordinates, the neck of the dwarf winter melon was almost as thick as the head, short and fat, but Shen Renzui cut it with a palm, but it was like a quick knife to cut off a cucumber, and with a crisp sound, the head of the dwarf winter melon was softly tilted to the side, and his neck bone was cut off by Yao'er's palm.
"Help! Help me! ”
The screams that seemed to cry and howl sounded from two zhang away, and Shen Rendrunk turned his head to look, and saw that the reeds were shaking violently, and the clumps of reed flowers flew into the air, and the wave lines on the reeds quickly moved in the direction of the river.
Chen Shimei was about to go crazy, he never thought that Shen Rendrunk would be so powerful, he falsely claimed to have found a "fat sheep" and met a few partners, he wanted to borrow their hands to make Shen Rendrunk and catch Yao'er in his hands and torture him carefully, but he didn't expect that the brothers were all planted here, especially the scene where the neck of the dwarf winter melon was cut off by a hand knife, which really scared him.
Chen Shimei knew that no one answered the call for help here, but he still couldn't help crying, desperately rushing to the river, the reeds here are taller than people, and nothing can be seen in front of the dense turns, only the sound of rushing water can be heard, Chen Shimei used his strength to slam forward, the reeds whipped his face, his face was scratched, and he didn't care.
"Porphy!"
Chen Shimei took out the fastest running speed in her life, her legs were upside down like wheels, she crashed through the reeds, ran to the big river, ran four steps on the surface of the river, and then fell into the river and floated downstream along the turbulent river.
Shen Rendrunk chased to the river, looking at the figure floating and sinking in the distance, he could only give up. (To be continued......)
