Volume 1: Lingdong Views of the Mountains and Snow Chapter 61 The Love of That Brick (I)
Three days later, Shicha County, Qingshi Prefecture
The small and delicate city gate, the long queue to enter the city, and the soldiers at the city gate meticulously and carefully checking the portraits in their hands constitute the only landscape in front of the city gate of Shicha County.
In fact, Shicha County, which is positioned as a trade town, has always been without the rule of city gate inventory, after all, there is an endless stream of merchants coming and going, including many giant businessmen.
But now is different from the past, outside Shicha County, bandits are rampant, the soldiers of Qingshi Mansion have gone up the mountain many times to encircle and suppress in vain, not to mention, there is a slight loss, and this damage is not the bandits, but the soldiers themselves are careless in the process of going up the mountain, or fall off the cliff, or be bitten by poisonous snakes.
What's even more helpless is that the government soldiers went up the mountain to suppress the bandits several times, not to mention the bandits, the bandits have not seen the face of the bandits, and the only few portraits are still based on the description of the robbed caravan.
In desperation, the county order had no choice but to issue an order to strengthen the investigation at the city gate, not to let go of any person entering the city, once it was found to be suspicious, it was directly arrested on the spot and sent to the yamen for trial. As for the effect...... Hehe, just take a look.
Tang Jin, who peeked at the portrait, said that unless those soldiers were reincarnated again, the yamen would not want to catch a person with the portrait in his hand in his life.
After surviving the long inspection and passing through the slightly dim city gate, Tang Jin led the horse and finally stepped into the boundary of Shicha County.
The narrow streets, crowded and noisy pedestrians, and the small and single shops are not a little worse than Wangshucheng.
However, compared with the prosperity and grace of Wangshu City, there is a bit of life here, although the people walking on the street are a little noisy, and the words are quite vulgar, but they are full of sincere emotions. Although the shops on the side of the road are old, but whenever there are guests entering the store, the shopkeeper must be waiting before and after the saddle, and the sky is full of flowers, even if the guests do not buy anything, they still send each other with a good voice, and do not forget to shout "the hospitality is not good".
Compared with here, Wangshu City is more prosperous and less human; There are more shops, but there is less life. Which is better or worse? No one can tell.
Feeling a little nostalgic, Tang Jin silently led the horse to the side of the carriage, Qin Hai and the two were standing respectfully by the side of the car, waiting for Tang Jin's orders, and the two Su-style sisters also lifted the curtain and looked at Tang Jin fixedly.
Glancing at everyone, Tang Jin took out a bunch of keys from his arms and handed them to Qin Hai, "This is the courtyard where I came from my father when I came, it is our temporary residence here, you go and clean up first, I will go around the city and find out the information." ”
Qin Hai and the others nodded when they heard this, but they didn't say much. Although they should theoretically go to inquire about intelligence, but compared to Tang Jin, their intelligence gathering ability is basically zero, and even if they go, they will not be able to hear any useful information, so it is better to be honest and obedient than to cause trouble.
parted ways with everyone, handed over his horse to a few people by the way, straightened out the dark red brocade robe on his body, and took out a fan out of nowhere, and silently blended into the crowd while playing.
Of course, it is said that it is to merge into the crowd, but Tang Jin's outfit, which is worth a lot of money at a glance, makes him like a drop of oil dripping into the water, and the people around him consciously keep a certain distance from him.
Tang Jin had long been accustomed to everyone's almost instinctive avoidance, and even in his previous life.
When he was a child, when he was wandering on the streets, the people around him avoided him like a plague, and then when he grew up and became a mercenary, the people around him avoided him like ghosts.
Although the nature of this life has changed, the situation is basically the same, he ...... No matter where you are, you will always be an outlier who can't fit into the crowd, and the previous life is the same in this life, and I don't know if it's a sadness.
But...... Whether he is sad or not Tang Jin doesn't know, the short man behind him who is holding a boogie and looking at the short man next to him with a casual face is definitely sad, because his other hand is holding a blade to cut the belt of the jade pendant around Tang Jin's waist, of course, this is not the main reason why Tang Jin found him, the main reason is ...... The blade had already cut two cuts on him, and the blood was almost gone!
"I said buddy...... It's okay to steal things, let's be professional, okay? Uncle, you cut me. Tang Jin grabbed the other party's hand, which was busy on his waist, and turned his head to look at the other party speechlessly.
"You, you, you! Don't talk nonsense! Who stole your jade pendant! "The stupid thief Xu was on his first day on the job, and when he was caught, the whole person trembled nervously, and his voice stammered.
"Did I say you stole my jade pendant? Are you not doing this? In addition, I'm not blind, you're not blind, you have a blade in your hand, and I have a cut on my waist that you cut, you don't steal, it's hard to kill me! Tang Jin was amused for a while when he saw the other party's stupid appearance.
"You, you, you! Don't frame good guys! I just want to steal your jade pendant, not to kill! When the stupid thief heard that Tang Jin framed him for murder, he hurriedly denied it.
Tang Jin immediately laughed when he heard this, if there was an exam for a pickpocket, the one in front of him would not say that he had passed, he could exceed ten points He Tang Jin's name was written upside down, "Okay, you didn't kill anyone, you just stole things, so come with me and go to the yamen." ”
Saying that, dragging the other party and about to go to the yamen, the stupid thief was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted, a touch of anxiety and panic suddenly appeared on his face, "No! I can't go to the Yamen! I don't want to die! ”
After speaking, the right hand that was grabbed by Tang Jin was thrown suddenly, and Tang Jin, who didn't use much strength, was immediately freed by him, and when he looked back, he saw that the other party was stumbling out of the city.
Hum!
Tang Jin laughed disdainfully, if he couldn't even catch such a fool, he still didn't investigate Ye Meng, and went home honestly. Thinking like this, the folding fan in his hand crossed a graceful arc on his fingertips, and with a gentle push of his two fingers, the paper fan suddenly shot out, like a sharp arrow hitting the opponent's back.
The stupid thief felt a huge force behind him, and the whole person suddenly flew out and fell heavily to the ground. At the same time, Tang Jin's figure flashed, caught the folding fan that bounced back, opened it with a bang, smiled, walked in front of the other party unhurriedly, and slowly squatted down.
"Sample, the master has caught so many people, and none of them have run, so if you still want to run, use your brain next time, weigh and weigh it."
Saying this, Tang Jin inadvertently swept the other party's chest, only to see a pale pink money bag leaking out of the other party's arms, although he didn't see the embroidery on it, Tang Jin could be sure that it was definitely not this fool based on the color alone, and the fabric used in this money bag was extremely high-quality, and the fabric money alone could buy this fool's whole body clothes, no matter how you looked at it, it couldn't be his.
As soon as he took out the money bag from the other party's arms, Tang Jin slowly stood up, and just wanted to ask the surrounding onlookers if anyone had lost the money bag, when a roar suddenly came from behind, followed by a violent sound of breaking the air.
"Bastard who steals money! Take your life! ”
Tang Jin didn't doubt him, he threw the money bag into his arms casually, turned around, his left hand followed the sound of the wind, and at the same time, his right hand flipped over, and the Qiye Sword instantly slipped into his hand.
Cha! Syllable!
Two soft sounds, a sharp sword breaking through the air, and a heavy object in hand. Looking down at the thing he was grasping with his left hand, Tang Jin was suddenly covered with black lines.
Boxy, half red and half yellow, a perfect brick. I really didn't expect him Tang to have a day when he was stewed behind his back, although he didn't simmer it.
Throwing away the brick in his hand, Tang Jin planned to see what kind of person was so ruthless and dared to greet him directly with a brick, you must know that if this brick is filmed, he Tang is estimated to have to cross it again.
But before he could raise his head, another figure appeared in the crowd, only to see that the other party was wearing a light violet skirt, with cloud temples on his head, a little light makeup on his face, a little anxious between his eyebrows but with a softness, a pair of beautiful eyes reflected on the small and lovely face, cute and a little charming, Qiong's nose was delicate and lovely, and he was expressing his dissatisfaction with Tang Jin with the slightly pursed thin lips.
"You! Let go of Ling'er! Let me tell you, I have already reported to the official, and the people from the yamen will arrive soon, if you hurt Ling'er in the slightest, I will ...... I'll just ......"
After a long time, the girl didn't think of how to threaten Tang Jin, suddenly saw the bricks on the ground, hurriedly stepped forward, picked it up with great difficulty, lifted it above her head with difficulty, and said with trembling hands: "If you hurt Ling'er, I will stone myself to death, and when the time comes, you kill one person, injure one person, and you will wait for death!" ”
