……

Wancheng, in the evening, the sunset is slanting in the west.

After accepting the banquet from the county guard Ma Boyuan, Chen Xu walked out with a full hiccup, and the two guards of Wang Wu and Wang Qi hurriedly led the horses to meet him.

"Have you eaten any food?" Chen Xu asked after getting on the horse.

"I've already eaten in the foothouse just now, and now it's getting late, do you want to go back to the foothouse to rest?" Wang Wu asked as he followed.

"Rest now?" Chen Xu glanced at the sun that had not yet set, and felt that since he traveled to the Qin Dynasty, his schedule was completely reversed, and this time was a good time to go shopping and watch movies.

However, Wancheng is not familiar with the place, and it seems that there is nothing to do if he doesn't sleep.

Jiang Beiting was drinking tea and chatting with a group of county magistrates from other counties in Nanyang County at this time, he couldn't answer the words and couldn't interject, what he said was ancient poems, and the topics he talked about were officialdom, so he sat for half an hour and drank a cup of tea before saying goodbye.

Although Ma Boyuan met Chen Xu again at the introduction of Jiangbei Pavilion this time, he was far from the enthusiasm of the first time, his expression was quite cold, and it was estimated that he was still dealing with the last time he suppressed bandits, but Chen Xu was too lazy to interact with these bureaucrats, so it was better to come out to breathe, but he was a little distressed about the few catties of rice candy he sent.

"Let's go, follow me to the tea shop again!" Chen Xu took the lead and went to the tea factory where the water used to live softly.

After turning around on the street, Chen Xu came to the tea shop more than ten minutes later.

Now it's winter, tea picking has long stopped, and there are only two helpers in the tea shop, a man and a woman, who are responsible for taking care of it, because there are two houses where there are still a lot of tea leaves, and one of them has some tea leaves that are fermented in straw baskets, Chen Xu has come to see it once in the morning, some of them have been completely rotten, and some of them seem to be in good condition, but I don't know what will become of them in the end, because he has never seen the production methods of black tea, black tea, and Tieguanyin in later generations. can only let the people in the tea workshop judge for themselves, and Chen Xu doesn't worry about this matter, drinking green tea is still his favorite, it doesn't matter if these fermented teas are not successful, he can also develop flower tea and medicinal tea in the spring, according to the urine of the Qin Dynasty Fang family warlock, it is estimated that it is also very popular.

"I've seen Chen Langjun!" Seeing Chen Xu walking in with two guards of five big and three thick, the two helpers of the tea workshop hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Is the water girl back?" Chen Xu asked.

"Not yet!"

The male helper is thirty-five or sixteen years old, he looks old and steady, and he is not impatient when he speaks, he should be the Shui family who Shui Qingrou can trust very much, and the woman is about twenty-five years old, her hands and feet are diligent and neat, she looks so similar to Shui Qingrou, it is estimated that there should be a blood relationship, but Chen Xu didn't ask, since Shui Qingrou believes, then he will naturally choose to believe.

"I'll stay in Wancheng for a day tomorrow, if there is news of the Water Girl and Wuya, please go to the post house and tell me!" Chen Xu gave an order and left the tea factory, and then rode around the city without any purpose.

After arriving in Wancheng this morning, he came to the tea shop for the first time to ask, Shui Qingrou has not heard from him since the last time he left, and Yu Wuya also left the next day after coming to Wancheng, I heard that he was going back to his hometown in Yucheng, but he has not returned for seven or eight days, so Chen Xu feels that he is lonely and has nowhere to go, and his heart is also a little listless.

At this time, it was already evening, the curfew time had arrived, the flow of people on the street was much less, the carts that could be seen during the day were basically invisible, and the few shops dealing in grain, hemp, salt, pottery and other goods on the street were all closed.

After shopping around, he didn't find what he was interested in, and finally with a thought, Chen Xu simply took Wang Wu and Wang Qi to the market in the south of the city, which was the place where he sold barbecue last time and then had a conflict with Ma Teng.

Chen Xu really guessed correctly, although the sun had set at this time, it was crowded here, gathering countless idle bastards and game lovers, a bunch of people in the east and a bunch of people in the west gathered together to throw pots and cockfights, gambling by the way, and even some people were juju competitions, sometimes coaxing and sometimes quiet, and there were also some small vendors in the crowd who carried rattan baskets on their backs to sell some mountain fruits and other snacks, and the scene looked extremely lively.

The three of them led the horses around the bazaar, and gathered into the pile of some cockfighting and pot throwers to look at it for a while, and found that it was not interesting at all, so they got on the horse very depressed and prepared to leave.

"Get out of the way~" Suddenly a shouting and scolding came from not far away, and then a scream and a pop were heard, accompanied by the sound of crackling and smashing.

Chen Xu turned his head to look, and sat on horseback, condescendingly to see clearly, more than ten meters away, a ragged young man was kicked over by a tall black man, a rattan basket rolled in the crowd, and the clay pot and bowl inside were shattered.

"Hey, she's still a little lady!" Someone in the crowd was surprised to find that the boy rolling on the ground turned out to be a young girl, and his ragged clothes tore a big hole, revealing a large area of white skin.

The girl curled up on the ground and quickly covered her torn clothes, her face extremely frightened and helpless.

"It turns out that she is really still a little lady, is it not a worker slave who escaped from the copper and iron workshop outside the city, come, show me the identity card!" The black-faced man walked up and grabbed the girl's arm, picked it up like a chicken, and reached out to touch the girl's chest.

"Please spare me!" The girl trembled with fright, her thin hands clutched tightly to her chest, and her dirty face showed a terrified expression on her unclear face.

"Hehe, a certain is the supervisor of this market, and he is responsible for inspecting fugitive slaves and homeless people, if you don't let me check it, I will send you to the county governor's mansion, and then you will be filled thousands of miles away in the northwest to repair the city and reclaim the wasteland......" The black-faced man sneered, and a big hand directly broke the girl's thin arm, and suddenly the broken clothes were scattered, revealing a large area of bare skin and a not very full snow mound.

"Goo Dong~~" Countless voices of swallowing saliva sounded in the crowd almost at the same time, and many people squeezed forward with a lewd light in their eyes.

Just when the big black-faced man's big hand was about to touch the girl's chest, suddenly a big hand reached out from the crowd and grabbed his wrist firmly, and then broke it back.

"Click~" A clear sound of broken bones sounded, the black-faced man screamed and was thrown to the ground, and the girl who rolled down was immediately helped up by another burly man.

"You're looking for ...... death," the black-faced man fell to the ground, clutching his arms and roaring.

"Choking~" The black-faced man saw a golden light flash in front of him, Wang Wuyi had a big sword on his neck, and the cold breath made him tremble all at once, and swallowed all the rest of the words.

Wang Wu's murderous aura is very heavy, he has followed Wang Jian through countless battles, and he is a killer who brushes the tiger without blinking an eye, and at this time, the big sword in his hand adds a bloody atmosphere, and there is no emotion in his plain eyes, and the black-faced man is completely frightened in an instant and does not dare to make any moves.

A group of thugs who were about to gather around to feast their eyes and take the opportunity to rub oil were also frightened and faded like a tide, and a large area was instantly vacated in the field.

Chen Xu rode his horse slowly to the center, looked at the girl who Wang Qi helped up, and felt that his judgment just now was indeed correct, this girl did look a little familiar.

Originally, he didn't want to do much when the black-faced man shot just now, but at the moment when the girl raised her head, Chen Xu found a little familiar, but he didn't remember where he had seen it in an instant, but he still quickly decided to let Wang Wu and Wang Qi take action to save the girl.

The identities of Wang Wu and Wang Qi are enough to make him rampant and domineering in Wancheng, Wang Qian's personal guard, Daqin basically no one dares to provoke except for Qin Dada, once provoked, it is a piece of shit, and it will never be wiped clean when it is favored by an old killer.

"Don't be afraid, I see you are familiar, do you know me?" Chen Xu dismounted and walked to the girl and asked.

The girl trembled, glanced at Chen Xu a few times and then nodded desperately, tears flowed down her eyes instantly, "The adults had thirty catties of mutton on credit at my house a few months ago, and they also left a piece of jade pendant ......"

Chen Xu instantly realized: "Are you the daughter of the foot shop?" ”

"Yes~" The girl nodded repeatedly while holding her torn clothes with both hands.

"Your family is open, you shouldn't have to worry about food and clothing, why is it like this now?" Chen Xu asked suspiciously.

"Yes...... It's because of my lord, on the night you took the jade pendant, a group of people broke into my house and arrested my father and brother and brother, and forced me to ask about the origin and whereabouts of the adult, and now a few months have passed, and my father and mother and brother have not heard from me, and I dare not go home, so I can only beg on the street to survive......"

"Click~" The horsewhip in Chen Xu's hand was broken into two at once.

If you guess correctly, it must have been done by Na Ma Teng.

That time, he was splashed with charcoal in this market during the day, and Yu Wuya beat them up again at night, so in a hurry to retaliate, they tracked down the foot house and forced the foot shop family to tell their whereabouts, but naturally they did not get any results.

"Don't be afraid, I know who captured your father and brother and brother, I will send you home first, and then help you get your father and brother back!" After Chen Xu finished speaking, he turned over and got on his horse, asked Wang Qi to take the girl, Wang Wu also took back the big sword, and the three of them rode their horses together to the location of the foot house in the city.

"Don't ...... Don't go back, the foothouse is already occupied by a gang of strongmen, I ...... I sneaked back to see them a few times, and they were fierce......" The girl clung to the horsehair in horror.

"Hehe, don't worry, they will be very well-behaved!" Chen Xu had a smile on his face, but there was a nameless flame burning in his heart.
