Volume 1 Crossing the Tang Dynasty Chapter 29 Patrolling the Streets
The Nanba County Market is open every 369 days, and the location of the market is in Rabbit Street, which is a spontaneously formed east-west street, about half a mile long.
On this day, it is another day of gathering.
The people who set up the stalls came early to take up their seats on the street and set up their goods.
It was still early, and the nearby villagers had not yet arrived, but on the roads leading to the side streets, the people of the city who had had breakfast had already rushed to the market in twos and threes.
If you have something to do, you can go to the market if you have nothing to do.
Even if you don't buy anything, you can go to the market to go around, you can meet with acquaintances to chat about your parents' shortcomings, and see the new scenery on the set.
Luo Lin took his deputy Lu Xiaoxian, and Lu Xiaoxian took Yang Si, Xie Yunxuan and Zhang Meng, a group of five people to the bazaar.
All five were dressed in civilian clothes, and their task was simple: to maintain law and order. In the yamen, the catcher wears a navy blue catcher suit, but he usually wears civilian clothes when he goes out on weekdays.
Luo Lin is an official catcher, there is a waist card around his waist, and his name is written on the waist card, and the yamen to which he belongs, this is the identity certificate of the fast catcher. Lu Xiaoxian, these deputy white servants, have no waist cards. However, like Rollin, they carried with them iron locks, chains, and thick hemp ropes.
Looking at their eyes and the way they walked, many people knew that they were caught in the yamen. They weaved through the flow of people coming and going, looking around.
Suddenly, someone not far away shouted, "It's indecent! ”
Lu Xiaoxian was shocked, and several people ran towards the place where the voice was made.
When I got closer, I saw a lot of people pointing around a businessman-like figure. A woman grabbed the merchant by the collar, and the merchant tried to get rid of it, looking embarrassed.
At this moment, a man appeared, took out the chain from his bosom, and while locking the merchant, he said sharply: "Follow me to the official!" ”
Depending on the situation, this person should also be a catcher.
Seeing this person, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but smile, it turned out to be an old acquaintance.
Lu Xiaoxian looked at Xie Yunxuan beside him, Xie Yunxuan also showed a smile on his face, it seemed that he also recognized the person in front of him.
That's right, this person Lu Xiaoxian, Zhang Meng and Xie Yunxuan all knew each other, and it was the second shopkeeper who served the three of them when he ate at "Meiweixuan" for the first time, and he left a deep impression on Lu Xiaoxian.
After arriving in Nanba County, they went to "Meiweixuan" again, but the shopkeeper had already left. Lu Xiaoxian had inquired about him many times, but no one knew where he had gone.
Although many years have passed, when he met him here today, Lu Xiaoxian still recognized him at once, but he didn't expect him to turn from a shopkeeper to a fast catcher.
Lu Xiaoxian asked Luo Lin: "Is he the county government's catcher?" ”
Luo Lin stared at the man, and whispered without looking back: "Yes, his name is Qin Jun, and he is a serious catcher of the county government!" ”
"The last time I invited my brothers to dinner, didn't he go?"
Luo Lin replied: "It seems that it was his turn to be on duty at the yamen last time, so he didn't go!" ”
Speaking of this, Rollin couldn't help but sigh.
"Luo Zhu, what's wrong?" Lu Xiaoxian turned his head and asked.
Luo Lin said in a daze: "Qin Zhu is dispensing medicine!" ”
"Dispensing? What kind of medicine is dispensed? Lu Xiaoxian was confused.
"Brother Lu, the method of extorting money is generally called dispensing!" Yang Si explained on the side.
"What?" Lu Xiaoxian said suspiciously, "Are you saying that Qin Zhu is about to extort that person's money?" ”
"He planned it!" Luo Lin shook his head and said, "That businessman is also a rich master in Nanba, Qin Zhu has been trying to blackmail him for a day or two, and he has been suffering from no excuses. I also know that woman, she is a brothel woman, if I guessed correctly, she has been bought by Qin Yu. The final result is nothing more than a fraud of a sum of money for him! ”
These days, Lu Xiaoxian and Zhang Meng have been in the brothel every day. Listening to Rollin say this, they seem to have seen this woman too.
Would a businessman insult a brothel woman in broad daylight?
So coincidentally, Qin Jun appeared?
Lu Xiaoxian really believed that Qin Jun should be dispensing medicine.
Where the law of the jungle eats the strong, people do not sympathize with the weak. Lu Xiaoxian didn't squeak and walked forward quickly.
"Qin Catch, hurry!"
Qin Jun turned his head and saw that it was Lu Xiaoxian, and couldn't help but be stunned. Obviously, he also recognized Lu Xiaoxian.
He didn't loosen the chain that was holding the merchant, but nodded towards Lu Xiaoxian and said, "It's you?" Can I help you? ”
"Qin Zhu, can you take a step to speak?" Lu Xiaoxian said to Qin Jun mysteriously.
Qin Jun glanced at the locked businessman in front of him, and hesitated.
"You've locked him up, are you still afraid of him running away?" Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said, "That's it, let Luo Yu take care of it for you first, it won't take you long." ”
"You're being honest here, do you hear?" Qin Jun gave a vicious command to the merchant and walked over.
"What's the matter with you?"
"Qin Zhu, come over with your ears, I'll tell you something!" Lu Xiaoxian said mysteriously.
The two whispered for a while, Qin Jun's face slowly changed color, he glanced at Lu Xiaoxian, returned to the merchant, took off the chain from the merchant, and said angrily, "It's none of your business, let's go!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian no longer paid attention to Qin Jun, turned around and left, Luo Lin and the others followed, and continued to patrol the streets.
Luo Lin asked curiously: "Young Master Lu, what did you say to Qin Zhukuai, he actually spit out the fat in his mouth again." ”
Lu Xiaoxian shook his head and said: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, if you say it, it will not work!" ”
Qin Jun is dispensing medicine, Lu Xiaoxian is digging pits, and the two of them are not on the first grade at all. Dealing with Qin Jun was not difficult for Lu Xiaoxian at all. He dug a pit in just a few words, and just waited quietly for Qin Jun to take the initiative to jump into the pit.
Luo Lin glanced at Lu Xiaoxian and stopped talking.
Xie Yunxuan also felt strange, but he also didn't ask.
"Master Lu!" As they spoke, someone shouted behind them.
Lu Xiaoxian turned around and saw that Qin Jun was chasing after them.
Lu Xiaoxian was slightly surprised, he concluded that Qin Jun would definitely come to jump into the pit if he figured it out, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.
When Qin Jun arrived, Lu Xiaoxian asked, "Qin Catch quickly, is there anything else?" ”
"I think, I want to ......," Qin Jun said in a hesitant voice, "Master Lu, I want to follow you...... Patrol together...... All right? ”
Everyone looked at Qin Jun in surprise, the meaning of his pun was too obvious.
Lu Xiaoxian nodded and patted Qin Jun's shoulder: "No problem, let's go!" ”
A few people walked on the street, and the bustling flow of people passed by Lu Xiaoxian from time to time, and Lu Xiaoxian was thinking about his thoughts while walking.
didn't go far, Lu Xiaoxian felt that someone was tugging at his shirt behind him.
Turning his head, it turned out to be Qin Jun, and a strange expression appeared on his face.
Lu Xiaoxian asked strangely, "What's wrong?" Qin catches fast? ”
"Master Lu, let's go back!" Qin Jun whispered.
"Why?" Lu Xiaoxian frowned.
"There's big trouble coming." Qin Jun pointed straight ahead.
Looking in the direction of Qin Jun's finger, Lu Xiaoxian saw several family-looking people, embracing a rich boy in brocade clothes, who were heading towards them.
"What's the big trouble?" Lu Xiaoxian was inexplicable.
Without waiting for Qin Jun to answer, Lu Xiaoxian seemed to realize something, and he guessed: "Could it be that this person has something to do with the Tan family?" ”
"That's right, he's the eldest son of the old man!" Qin Jun nodded.
"Catch him quickly, are you afraid that he will be a rich son?" Lu Xiaoxian looked disdainful and looked Qin Jun up and down.
Qin Jun's face turned red, and he explained with embarrassment: "Young Master Lu, you don't know, the Tan family is too powerful, and even the county magistrates don't dare to provoke them, how can I afford to provoke a small catch?" ”
"Oh?" Lu Xiaoxian had no intention of leaving at all, he clasped his hands on his chest and looked at the oncoming people, and said with a slight smile, "I'm going to provoke this talker today!" ”
In this life, who will not encounter scum, is hiding the way?
Lu Xiaoxian dug a small pit for Qin Jun just now, and just as he felt that he was still unsatisfied, someone took the initiative to send it to the door. If you don't die, you won't die, Lu Xiaoxian is not a good lord, and he will not be polite at all when dealing with people like Tan Gongzi.
Some people are polite to him, and he will treat you as garbage. The best way is to directly treat him as garbage, dig a pit and bury him, and you don't have to be polite at all.
Tan Gongzi is getting closer and closer, Qin Jun is so anxious that he scratches his ears and cheeks, and he can't go or stay.
Luo Lin on the side also showed a serious expression on his face.
Xie Yunxuan, Yang Si and Zhang Meng's faces were as usual, and they didn't care about the conversation son, looking left and right from time to time.
Seeing that Tan Gongzi was about to approach, a person who looked like a family man appeared out of nowhere and leaned into Tan Gongzi's ear and said something.
Tan Gongzi laughed a few times, and with a wave of his hand, the people turned into a tavern on the side of the road.
Tan Gongzi no longer walked forward, but entered the tavern next to him, so that Qin Jun, whose heart had been hanging, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Jun's heart hadn't landed yet, but Lu Xiaoxian took a few steps and followed towards the tavern.
Seeing this, Qin Jun couldn't help but secretly cry bitter in his heart. He really didn't understand, others couldn't hide, why did Lu Xiaoxian want to provoke this local snake?
Qin Jun looked left and right, wanting to take the opportunity to sneak into the crowd, but when he thought about what he had just said to Lu Xiaoxian, and then saw that several other people followed Lu Xiaoxian towards the tavern, and after hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and followed.
