He frowned and reached out to his side.

Jin Yichuan reacted quickly and immediately understood his intentions. Ran to the side in a few steps, picked up the short knife that the assassin was flying by Ye Fu's knife, walked back and handed it to Ye Fu's hand.

Ye Fu looked down at the short knife, his eyes showing doubts.

This short knife is not the same as the one commonly used in the army, the blade is thin, and the position of the head of the knife is relatively blunt to the touch, but the position of the blade is extremely sharp. It was a good knife, but it was hit by Ye Fu, and it collapsed, obviously, it had been scrapped.

"You're not a Tartar?" Ye Fu narrowed his eyes and examined the assassin's expression.

I saw that the assassin suddenly showed a bitter look on his face, and wailed: "How can the villain be a tartar!" Commander! Don't wronged the villain! The villain does like to steal chickens and dogs on weekdays, but the villain ...... The villain is not a bad person! Really, you believe in villains! ”

Ye Fu did not comment on his words, but asked, "What's your name." ”

The assassin hurriedly replied: "The villain's name is Wang Xing!" ”

Wang Xing? Ye Fu read it twice in his mouth, and then asked, "Which two words?" ”

Wang Xing was dumbfounded for a moment, and then he said, "Villain...... The villain is illiterate......"

"Well, I can't read." Ye Fu nodded lightly.

That's right if you can't read! In this era, it is normal for ordinary people to be illiterate, but literacy is problematic. He's just trying to do it, and if he's really illiterate, then ......

Just as he was looking down and pondering, Jin Yichuan suddenly stepped forward and said to Ye Fu: "My lord, don't listen to his nonsense!" He's clearly a Tartar! ”

In front of others, Jin Yichuan has always been the official title of Ye Fu.

Ye Fu looked at him, waiting for his explanation.

You must know that Jin Yichuan escaped death from Wang Xing's men just now, and it is understandable that he is prejudiced against Wang Xing. But Ye Fu doesn't think that Jin Yichuan is a person who likes to mix personal feelings with serious things. If he wanted to dispose of Wang Xing, he could tell Ye Fu directly, with the relationship between him and Ye Fu, there was a chance that Ye Fu would agree to his approach. However, he didn't.

Then, if he says that this man is a Tartar, there must be a reason for him.

Sure enough, Jin Yichuan stepped forward in a few steps and walked around Wang Xing's back, squatted down, grabbed one of Wang Xing's feet violently, and pulled it hard, and ripped off the shoes on his feet. Jin Yichuan came to Ye Fu with his shoes and said to Ye Fu: "My lord, look. ”

Ye Fu took it and looked at it, and immediately frowned.

The people of the Ming Dynasty in this era did not wear boots, although by the end of the Ming Dynasty, many dignitaries and nobles liked to make shoes similar to boots to wear, but for ordinary people, boots, this is not a clothing that can often be seen and worn. What's more, with the boots in front of him, Ye Fu is really familiar with his style.

These boots are called ula shoes, which are sewn from cowhide and have a pointed front and round shape. When wearing it, you should put grass in it, and then connect the boot ears with hemp rope, tighten it and tie it to the lower legs. These boots are perfect for walking in the snow and have a good heat retention effect, and until modern times, many people in the Tohoku region wore these boots. Moreover, because these boots are very lightweight, they are basically worn by the Tartar soldiers of the Later Jin.

"Wang Xing?" Ye Fu shook his boots in front of the other party and asked him, "This, how do you explain this?" ”

"This ...... It's not villain! Wang Xing hurriedly pleaded.

Jin Yichuan immediately became angry, stepped forward and kicked Wang Xing directly into the snow. Lifting the other party's chest clothes, he half-lifted it, glared at him angrily and said, "Not yours?" How can you wear it on your feet if it's not yours? Say! ”

Wang Xing was so anxious that he was about to cry.

He was fluttering on the snow with no socks on his foot that had lost his boots.

Ye Fu looked at it for a long time, and felt in his heart that he didn't seem to be lying. Seeing that Jin Yichuan was about to start beating someone, Ye Fu hesitated and stopped the other party.

"Let him finish his sentence." Ye Fu said.

Jin Yichuan listened to Ye Fu's words the most, and when he heard his orders, he threw the person to the ground and ordered, "Did you hear that?" My lord asked you to say it! Say it! ”

Wang Xing knelt on the ground pitifully, and anxiously explained to Ye Fu: "The villain is from Sanyang Fort, and he is indeed not a bad person, let alone a Tartar!" The villain is just from a poor family, and there is no way, so he learned a little bit of the ability to steal chickens and dogs, and barely survived. It's also a villain, and when he was fighting a few days ago, he secretly picked up a pair of boots from the corpse of the Tartar soldier and wore them. The villain has no malice! My lord, please spare the villain! ”

Boots to pick up corpses?

Ye Fu pondered for a moment.

The common people of this era are not so particular, after all, they are poor, and it is possible to take them off and wear them when they see the things on the dead people.

However, Ye Fu pondered and pondered, but he was moved by Wang Xing's other sentence.

The people of Fort Blayang? What a coincidence!

"You say you're from Aiyang Fort?" Ye Fu raised his hand to stop Jin Yichuan from wanting to reprimand Wang Xing for lying, and said to Wang Xing, "What evidence do you have to prove that you are from Aiyang Fort?" ”

Wang Xing was stunned for a moment.

After a while, he shook his head with a bitter face.

Jin Yichuan snorted coldly on the side, which probably means, look at what I say? This guy is a liar!

Ye Fu didn't intend to jump to conclusions like this, but said to him: "Do you know who I am? ”

Wang Xing still shook his head.

If he knew that Ye Fu was so difficult to provoke, he would never come forward to cause this trouble.

He shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, Jin Yichuan pointed at Ye Fu proudly from the side and introduced him: "Look at your kid, you know that you are an eyeless one!" I'll remember it next time! This is the new garrison Lord Ye of Aiyang Castle! You kid, don't make up a decent one. You! It's in the hands of our adults! Tell you! Our Lord Ye, that's a dog Tartar! ”

Wang Xing was so frightened that his body went limp, and he knelt on the ground, trembling incessantly.

Ye Fu once again raised his hand to stop Jin Yichuan and said to him: "Since you said that you are not a bad person, let alone a Tartar. For thy countenance, I believe thee for the time being. But don't get too excited. This is not far from Sanyang, I will go to Sanyang to take office, and by the way, I will take you to recognize your home. When the time comes, if you can't even recognize the door, don't blame me for being unkind to you! ”

Wang Xing nodded hurriedly, "The villain knows the door!" Recognize the door! There are brothers and sisters-in-law in the villain's house, and they can testify to the villain! ”

"Well, that's good." Ye Fu nodded.

Wang Xing's heart was finally slightly let go at this time. But before he could completely recover his strength, he heard Ye Fu say: "Your identity is over, then let's talk about something else." You've just ...... What's that doing? ”

Ye Fu's words suddenly made Wang Xing's heart rise to his throat again.

In fact, he really deserved to be unlucky. It's bad to find someone to mess with? I just want to provoke the soldiers. Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, not to mention a group of veterans of a hundred battles who have just been off the battlefield for a long time? If you provoke these people and kill him on the spot, you can take credit for his head. When the time comes, it will be a dead death!

really wasted a lot of lips and tongues, and Wang Xing finally explained his motive for the crime.

Ye Fu finally learned the truth of the matter from his intermittent explanation.

It turned out that Aiyang Fort, as the nearest pass to meet the enemy, was already confused. Many people wanted to run outside, and the officers and soldiers guarding couldn't look at these civilians who were intent on breaking away from the fort, in fact, not only were they powerless, but they also had no intention of guarding.
