After resting in the inn for the night, he set off again the next day, and arrived outside the city of Fanyang County in the afternoon.

After the episode of the night, Zhongli Jiujiu seemed to be a little unhappy, and he didn't talk to Xu Buling anymore, he rode in front, looked back from time to time, and then snorted, and even the little sparrow who wanted to hitchhike on the head of the chasing horse was called back, looking like he had drawn a clear line.

Xu Buling led the horse to the small street of the West Market, thought about it, and walked to Zhongli Jiujiu's side with a bright smile:

"Miss Jiujiu, in fact, the princess is just a name, for me, there is no difference between high and low people around me......"

Zhongli Jiujiu took two steps away from the outside, frowned, and said, "Who wants to be a princess, you are so beautiful?" You talk to the village, anyway, the village promises and I won't agree, you can dream about it......"

Xu Buling also felt that he was a little thick-skinned, but he was telling the truth, and there was nothing else he could do but smile helplessly at the moment.

Zhongli Jiujiu tilted his head and looked at the street, not quite wanting to deal with Xu Buling. However, she does not believe in Xu Buling's attitude of treating everyone equally, maybe in Xu Buling's heart, the women around her do treat everyone equally, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior.

But all men in the world are the same, and the girls they like want a bowl of water to be level, so as not to take care of one or the other and not be able to enjoy the blessings of others.

Although Zhongli Jiujiu has never been married, he is naturally good at fighting for wind and jealousy, and he knows the big family in this world very well. When the master may indeed treat everyone equally, regardless of the main house, as long as he can serve people, he is careful of the little padded jacket, but the woman in the back house doesn't think so.

Even in the palace, it is monogamous and multi-concubine, and the status of the main wife is unshakable.

Other aunts serve the lord at night, and they have to please the eldest woman during the day, and they can bully the sister who enters the door after bullying people by looking at people's faces everywhere.

Therefore, there are a few old people in the back row after entering the door, but it is a big deal about how to live in the second half of the relationship.

The result is good, she took the initiative to probe last night, and Xu Buling came up with a sentence of 'old seven', with six sisters on it, this is not a bully?

Although she is said to be a woman from the rivers and lakes and her family is in South Vietnam, she can be regarded as an innocent woman, whether it is by age, or by generation, ability, and appearance, when the third and fourth children are wronged, let her call a little girl like Manzhi and Yufu sisters, how can it be......

Zhongli Jiujiu didn't fall asleep all night yesterday, and he still had a little bit of intention, but now it has disappeared directly. Such a faceless man, what is there to grab, let Ning Yuhe enjoy himself, hum......

A woman's heart, a needle at the bottom of the sea.

Xu Buling couldn't figure out what Zhongli Jiujiu's attitude was now, but he didn't turn his face after taking advantage, that is, there was progress, and he was only thinking that Zhongli Jiujiu was arrogant at the moment.

The two of them had their own thoughts in their own minds and came to the small street behind the West Market.

Xu Buling came over as Zhong Li Jiujiu to ask for an explanation and make the unruly news dealers pay the price, but the eye-catching scene shocked him and Zhong Li Jiujiu.

The cold wind swept away the snow on the streets, and several Goolan liquor stores closed their doors, making the already depressed side streets look even more dilapidated.

The old inn in the middle of the street was still open, and on the wooden pillar with wine flags and lanterns hung down, a rope hung down, and a young man covered in blood, hung by the rope around his neck, and his toes were still dripping with blood, and a puddle of red marks were dyed on the snow, and he had frozen ballast.

Zhongli Jiujiu paused and recognized the young man who was hanging on the wooden pillar as Li Lin who sent her the news a few days ago.

Liu Wu, the shopkeeper of the inn, was still lying on the recliner under the eaves, but his current appearance was not much better than that of the hanged apprentice. The ankles and right wrists are dripping blood, obviously the tendons of the hands and feet have been picked, the eyes are tightly closed, the corners of the eyes are sliding down the blood, and the ears and the corners of the mouth are also oozing blood.

"This ......"

Zhongli Jiujiu was stunned in his heart, although he walked the rivers and lakes and saw many dead people, he was still shocked by this inhumane scene, piercing his ears and eyes, cutting his tongue, and breaking his hands and feet, which was far more vicious than directly killing people, and that feeling was chilling just by imagining.

Xu Buling frowned, he was also a little surprised, he came over and was ready to kill, but he didn't have such a revenge intention, and making the shopkeeper of the inn look like this, not like revenge, but more like a punishment, or a declaration to the outside world.

Xu Buling led the horse to the front of the inn, looked up at the corpse on the pillar, it was full of holes, and he didn't know what kind of torture he had suffered before he died. Looking under the eaves in a blink of an eye, Liu Wu was indeed not dead, but his ears and eyes lost his senses and did not react.

Inside the door of the inn, there was a brazier, and a young man sat at the door to make a fire. Xu Buling looked at it a little and recognized this young guy, who turned out to be the second shopkeeper who often chatted with the shopkeeper at the Yuelai Inn in Huangkou Town.

The shopkeeper saw Xu Buling and Zhong Li Jiujiu, and hurriedly picked up a wooden tray from his side, with a plate of silver in it, and walked out of the door to the front of the two, with a pleasant face:

"It's really a mistreat for the girl, this matter is a rat in my Youzhou rivers and lakes, the uncles on the road have cleaned up the portal, and the small one will take over this Fanyang County in the future, these silver are Liu Wu's compensation, and my shopkeeper also paid some. The girl's news is that the apprentice Li Lin sold it to Yanqi Villa on his own initiative, Liu Wu has taken root in Youzhou for 40 years, and has never broken the rules once, and hopes that the girl will be magnanimous, so this is the matter. ”

Xu Buling heard this and understood the meaning.

Zhongli Jiujiu's news was sold to Yanqi Villa by Liu Wu's apprentice without permission, and the local news dealers in Youzhou had already received the news, came to clean up the portal, and arranged for the apprentice of Yuelai Inn to come and take over.

Those who do their business, Xu Buling has a little understanding, just like Chen Siye in Chang'an City, who sold the news of his employer, and killed the whole family according to the rules, so he would rather have a conflict with the wolf guard, but also report to the Jianghu people who talked about things in the Renyi Hall.

Zhongli Jiujiu was sold, which would make the entire Youzhou news dealers lose trust, and they would definitely have to kill the bad rules to the public, so that people who came and went to the rivers and lakes could feel at ease to find them to do things. However, it was not Liu Wu who made the mistake, Liu Wu had been in Youzhou for many years and also had some seniority, and the shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn in Yuyang County, which was adjacent to it, opened his mouth to help ask for a favor to see if Zhongli Jiujiu was willing to leave it at that.

If Zhongli Jiujiu admits the rules of death and does not agree, then he will have to kill all the doors according to the rules.

Zhongli Jiujiu knew these iron rules of the rivers and lakes, and it was the first time he had encountered them. Seeing that Liu Wu, who had been in contact with him ten years ago, ended up so miserably, he felt a little uncomfortable, hesitated, and raised his hand to take the silver:

"Thank you for helping me get justice, it's just ...... Just kill Li Lin, there's no need to be so desperate,"

The shop guy sighed and had a calm attitude: "Rules are rules, this is for us in this industry, not for the girl, the girl can be magnanimous, and the little one is grateful." ”

“……”

Zhongli Jiujiu held the silver, hesitated, didn't know what to say, nodded, turned around and left the side street.

Xu Buling led the horse to his side, looked back at the corpse and Liu Wu lying on the chair, and thought for a while:

"There are good places in the rivers and lakes, but they are too extreme, and the law is more just to speak."

Zhongli Jiujiu poured the silver into the bag on the horse's side, shook his head and said: "The government is unjust, the people sue the officials without asking the reason, and the barefoot people can't win the squire's life outside the squire, and it's better to deal with it properly than the officials and officials protecting each other and no one cares about it......"

Xu Buling did not deny this. The family is like this in the world, saying that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, but if he really violates the law, it is also the fate of someone who dares to report to the official, and no yamen dares to sentence, if it were not so, there would not be so many things like 'one anger and five steps of blood splashing'.

This is the framework of the world, and unless Xu Buling wants to wipe out all the privileged classes, including himself, there is no point in talking about it.

Walking out of Fanyang County, Zhongli Jiujiu saw that Xu Buling had not spoken, and thought that Xu Buling, as the prince of the domain, was too concerned when he heard her words, and immediately spoke again:

"I mean Dayue's court is not good, I didn't say that you are not good, General Xu Lie was born as a butcher, and he also walked out from a poor family. South Vietnam has been bullied by the Central Plains since ancient times, soldiers and horses come and go, and your Xu family's army did not go to the village to rob the grain girl, but the killing is really ruthless, I heard the old people in the village say, I was so scared that I hid in the mountains, and I didn't even dare to go back to the village, but when the soldiers and horses passed, I returned to the village, and found that the crops were still there, and no one even took the clothes that were hanging outside......"

Xu Buling recalled it and chuckled: "My grandfather wanted to dominate the world back then, and not treat the people from all over the world as outsiders. Other generals are attacking cities and territories in enemy countries, so naturally they do not treat the people of enemy countries as human beings, and their ideas are different, and their methods of doing things are naturally different. ”

Zhongli Jiujiu realized, pondered for a moment, and glanced at Xu Buling:

"What about you?"

"If I call your stockade......"

"You dare! Believe it or not, I poisoned you? ”

“…… All right. ”

Xu Buling knew that he had said the wrong thing, and raised his hand to show his apologies, and when he saw Zhong Li Jiujiu's fierce man, he changed the topic with a smile:

"Miss Jiujiu, I trust you very much, you always take poison and threaten me, and over time I will be on guard, which hurts my feelings."

Zhongli Jiujiu snorted lightly: "You don't have to be vigilant, it's useless to be vigilant, I really want to poison it, you can't prevent it at all." I've learned a secret technique that can poison you there, and you'll poke it in......"

Saying this, Zhongli Jiujiu stopped and coughed lightly, his expression slightly strange.

？？

Xu Buling glanced at it, and his eyes fell on Zhongli Jiujiu's tense lower curve:

"Where does this 'there' mean?"

Zhongli Jiujiu saw that Xu Buling had a bit of ridicule and disbelief in his eyes, and frowned:

"You're a big man, you don't think about it? I didn't want to guard against you the night before yesterday, and I would have died if I didn't let you kiss me......"

Xu Buling laughed twice, and said, "Miss Jiujiu is my doctor, she shouldn't watch me die, right?" ”

"If you dare to do it again, you see if I will watch you die!"

"I don't think so."

Zhongli Jiujiu originally wanted to say 'you try' in passing, but she reacted immediately, she dared to say so, Xu Buling was sure to try it on the spot, so she changed her words:

"It's good that you know, I treat you as a friend, don't go too far."

Xu Buling saw that she was not fooled, and he didn't continue to gag, turned on his horse, and rushed to Huangkou Town with Zhongli Jiujiu......
