Chapter 99, the strange people of the rivers and lakes, and the lonely shadow

After separating from Yue Changzhong, Zhang Xiangxin (qíng) returned to the county government with a heavy heart.

Along the way, he also told Li Yanzhi what Yue Changzhong said to him.

Then Li Yanzhi also has a heavy heart (qíng).

Originally, it was chaotic enough to face the situation of requisition grain in Rong County in front of him, but now that the people from the rivers and lakes are coming to kill him, it is even more chaotic.

Zhang Xiang had always been focused on the grain requisition plan, and Yuan Shen was secretly protecting him, so he didn't think that he would be in any danger at all.

Now that Yuan Shen is not on the side (shēn), he has no way to hear from the rivers and lakes, so he can only be in a hurry.

It's not that he's afraid of these Jianghu people, he's just worried that these Jianghu people will interfere with him, which will affect his plan to collect grain, and now there is only half a month left before the deadline for the imperial court to collect grain, if this grain can't be received, it will be troublesome.

It's really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave.

These Jianghu people, who are full of food and support, can't tell the difference between light and heavy, and they come to make trouble.

The more Zhang Xiang thought about it, the more annoyed he became.

Just when the carriage arrived at the gate of the county government, suddenly an official ran over in a hurry: "Horse, the little slave girl was captured by Shi Meng, the son of the Shi family, and Lord Xu and Lord Peng have already rushed with the official messenger." ”

"What?" Zhang Xiang and Li Yanzhi were taken aback at the same time.

"Shi Meng caught the little slave?"

This pent-up fire almost broke through Zhang Xiang's head, he snatched the reins from Li Yanzhi's hand, turned the horse's head, and walked quickly in the direction of Shi Zhai.

Li Yanzhi, who was sitting on the side, was also frightened, and his head was still confused.

Did this Shi Meng eat the bear's heart and leopard gall?

Not to mention that the little slave is a slave brought by Zhang Xiang, a concubine, she is the servant girl of Princess Gaoping, who grew up with the princess since she was a child and came out of the palace, was this Shi Meng's head kicked by a donkey? How dare you catch such a servant?

李言之不 (jìn) is a bit the same (qíng) this Shi Meng.

The colt was already angry, and he could almost predict what would happen to Shi Meng.

The carriage ran wildly, frightening pedestrians along the road, and they all avoided (shēn) to give way.

Soon, the carriage rushed to Shi's house.

At the door of Shi's house, a group of officials had already surrounded Shi's house, and Xu Songwen, Peng Shuhuai and Shi Liangyu stood outside the door.

Seeing Zhang Xiang's carriage coming, Xu Songwen and Peng Shuhuai were so frightened that they knelt on the ground directly.

They knew that the pony was particularly fond of the servant girl, and now that the servant girl had been taken into Shi's house, they did not know where Shi Meng had hidden it, and if something happened to them, they could not guarantee that the pony would be able to do anything.

Shi Liangyu also knelt on the ground violently: "Please forgive the sins, it is Shi Mou's godson who has no way..."

"I'm Nyima!" Zhang Xiang, who was angry, jumped out of the carriage, flew up and kicked Shi Liangyu's mouth (xiōng), and exploded a foul language.

This is the first time he has behaved so demented since he came to Nanchu.

This Shi Meng is known for his lust, he catches the little slave, and he can think of what it is for with his toes.

Shi Liangyu, who fell to the ground, hurriedly got up, and didn't dare to hum in pain, the kind of humiliation when he met Zhang Xiang before disappeared without a shock, (shēn) his body kept trembling, and he wanted to kill this rebel at this moment.

He didn't know that Shi Meng had arrested someone, it was someone from the government who arrived, and the family said it, and he only found out that he was also detained here by Xu Songwen and couldn't enter the house. Zhang Xiang pulled out a knife from the side official (shēn), pointed it at him and asked, "What about people?" ”

"Yu Ma, the official is still searching for Shi Zhai, according to Shi Zhai's family, this Shi Meng is carrying people, I don't know where to hide?" Xu Songwen hurriedly replied.

Zhang Xiang said fiercely to Shi Liangyu: "If something goes wrong with her, I will kill your whole family." ”

After speaking, Zhang Xiang rushed into Shi's house with a knife.

This mansion is very large, and there are many buildings, and it is not easy to find someone who is hidden.

There are also many officials dispatched by the county government of Suo (xìng), all over the Shi Mansion.

Shi Zhai recalled everywhere the voice of the official calling the little slave.

Zhang Xiang also walked around, kicking the door of Shi's house several times.

"Pony, pony, found."

At this time, Li Yanzhi hurriedly ran over.

When Zhang Xiang heard this, he hurriedly ran over with him.

ran all the way to a small garden in the backyard of Shi Meng's house, and several officials pressed Shi Meng to kneel on the ground.

The body of this shēn was shaking, half of the clothes on the clothes had been taken off, the hair was also scattered, the eyes were wandering, and the expression (qíng) was unusually frightened.

One of the officials pointed to a small room behind him and hurriedly said, "Donkey, the little slave girl is inside." ”

Zhang Xiang ran in.

The house is not large, with only a few simple pieces of furniture and a small (chuáng).

At this time, the little slave curled up (shēn) and sat at her feet, the clothes on (shēn) had been torn a lot, revealing the red obscene clothes inside, and her little face was also blue and purple, crying so much that pear blossoms brought rain.

Zhang Xiang ran over and squatted down, took off the long shirt (shēn) and put it on her, seeing that the little slave had not been abused by Na Shimeng, which was a blessing in misfortune.

"Pony..."

It took a long time for the little slave to recover from the surprise of seeing Zhang Xiang, and I don't know how much she was stimulated, hugging Zhang Xiang, crying so much that her voice was hoarse.

This is the first time Zhang Xiang has seen a girl who has always been optimistic crying so sadly, even if he missed her parents, he has never been so sad (qíng) Xu.

Zhang Xiang touched her head: "Good, little slave, it's okay, I'll take you back." ”

Zhang Xiang picked her up.

The little girl prostrate in his arms, and her crying gradually became smaller, but the sad (qíng) thread did not weaken in the slightest: "Concubine, the slave thinks that she will never see you again, that she will never see the princess again, that she will never be able to serve the princess again, and that she will not be able to serve the concubine again... Hmmmm... The horses, the slaves and maids are so afraid. ”

"Alright, silly girl, it's okay."

Zhang Xiang hugged her and walked out of the house while comforting her.

When they came outside, all the officials didn't dare to speak out.

When Na Shimeng looked up at him, he shēn.

Zhang Xiang said lightly: "Take it away." ”

In the process of carrying Shi Meng out of Shi Mansion by the official messenger, he struggled frantically, crying and begging for mercy.

Zhang Xiang ignored it, walked out of the Shi house with the little slave in his arms, and got into the carriage.

When Shi Meng, who was carried out by the officials, saw Shi Liangyu outside the door, he didn't know where he got the strength, suddenly broke free from the two officials, and threw himself at Shi Liangyu's feet: "Dad, save me, I know, Dad, you can save me, right..."

"Smack"

"Evil Barrier"

Shi Liangyu, who was already angry, slapped Shi Meng in the face, smoked him, and scolded: "Bastard thing." ”

"Dad, if you don't save me, the child will die..."Shi Meng climbed under his feet again.

Shi Liangyu shook him off in disgust.

Then in the midst of his bursts of crying, he was picked up by the official again.

It wasn't until Zhang Xiang's carriage went away, the official took Shi Meng away, and Peng Shuhuai also left, that Xu Songwen glanced at Shi Liangyu.

Shi Liangyu saluted him heavily and said: "Lord Xu, Shi has no way to teach his son, and he has offended the horse, and I hope that Lord Xu will say more good things for Shi in front of the horse, and he can spare the dog's life." ”

Xu Songwen glanced at him, shook his head, and said calmly: "It's not good for your son to offend anyone, but to offend this donkey, do you know that this donkey was attacked by assassins in Pingzhou City, and killed those assassins to the point that his limbs were incomplete, and if you want your son to live this time, I'm afraid it's a little difficult." ”

Shi Liangyu said: "My lord, Shi is such a son, he can't let him die no matter what, although he is a bit of a bastard, but he didn't know in advance that this woman was the maid of the horse, if he knew, he wouldn't dare to borrow ten guts from him!" Besides, a maid will never be a colt..."

"Humph!" Xu Songwen was very unhappy when he heard this: "What are you talking about, if you are just an ordinary woman, you can do anything wrong?" Your Shi family was not a good person in the eyes of the people in the past, if it weren't for your usual connivance, he wouldn't have become like this, let me tell you, this little slave girl was brought by the princess from the capital, and she went out with the princess in Pingzhou City in Pingzhou City. ”

"Yes, yes, Shi knows that he is wrong, and I implore Lord Xu to say a few good words for Shi in front of the horse." Shi Liangyu hurriedly said.

Seeing his low voice, Xu Songwen also turned (shēn) and left: "I'll do my best, but you'd better prepare a coffin for your son in advance." ”

After everyone in the government left, Shi Liangyu sat on the ground decadently.

After a while, a family member came up to him and whispered to him.

Shi Liangyu was furious, stared at this Ding and asked, "Who is it?" Who accompanied the young master out, why didn't you stop the young master, what I said was the wind in my ears, didn't it? Bring me all the people who accompanied the young master out..."

……

When I returned to the county office, it was completely dark.

Zhang Xiang carried the little slave back to the house and let her lie down on his own (chuáng).

In addition to the big house where Zhang Xiang sleeps, there is also a hut in which the little slave usually sleeps.

But the hut was too small to take care of, so Zhang Xiang had to put her here.

At this time, the little slave (qíng) has completely calmed down, but maybe it has suffered such an accident, and she can't see that optimistic smile on her face now.

"Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry."

Seeing Zhang Xiang's preoccupied appearance, the little girl whispered.

Zhang Xiang smiled and covered her with a quilt: "Don't talk yet, I've already asked someone to ask for a doctor, and after the doctor treats you, you can sleep peacefully, and you'll be fine when you wake up tomorrow." ”

The little slave shook his head: "Donkey, that person just slapped the slave and maid a few times and fell a few times, it's really fine, you see, I don't hurt anymore." ”

Zhang Xiang said: "Then it also depends on the obedience." ”

"The concubine, this is the sachet that the slave bought for you, the concubine is too tired, and I haven't slept well for many nights, and the slave knows it, and the next time the horse puts this sachet on the side of the pillow, he will be able to sleep well." The little slave stretched out her little hand and spread out her palm, and inside was a sachet that she was holding tightly, and a fresh smell of rosemary permeated the air.

Zhang Xiang took the sachet and asked, "Is it just to buy this sachet that you were captured by this Shi Meng?" ”

"Hmm..."

Zhang Xiang put the sachet on the side of her pillow and said with a smile: "Okay, I still have some business, go out first, someone will come to help you change your clothes later, there are also guards outside the door, if there is anything, you just call them." ”

When he came out, Zhang Xiang gently closed the door.

Li Yanzhi, who was guarding the door, asked, "Don't you, is the little slave girl okay?" ”

Zhang Xiang shook his head: "It's not a big deal, all of them are some external injuries, just rest for a few days." ”

Li Yanzhi: "This Shi Meng is too bold to dare to arrest the little slave girl." ”

Zhang Xiang said: "Starve him for a few days first, let the people in the county government take care of it, and I will look for him in a few days." ”

"This Shimeng has done such a unconscionable thing, and the colt still plans to keep him?" Li Yanzhi was a little puzzled.

Zhang Xiang said slowly: "This kind of scum is not worthy of living in this world, but he can't be so cheap for him, and he is useful to us now, maybe it is a breakthrough to break through the last layer of obstacles." ”

Li Yanzhi instantly understood.

After Zhang Xiang thought about it for a while, he said to him again: "From tomorrow onwards, you don't want to follow me for the time being, this Shi family will dry him for a few days in advance, and let the county government collect grain as usual." ”

"What is the pony going to do? I'll be fine if I don't follow the colt. ”

"I'll take care of the little slave for a few days, and then deal with some personal matters, you will follow the people of the county government tomorrow to collect grain, and I will give you a guard Sui (shēn) to protect you, and the most important thing for you is to keep an eye on Xu Songwen."

"What are you staring at him for?" Li Yanzhi was taken aback, but reacted quickly, and nodded solemnly: "Understood!" ”

That night, Zhang Xiang looked for Yuan Shen all night but didn't find him, I don't know what he was doing here.

When she came back, the doctor had already cured the little slave and prescribed medicine, she had already drunk the medicine and fell asleep, and the bruises on her face had receded a lot, and she slept peacefully.

Zhang Xiang had no choice but to go to the little slave's house to sleep, and this night, he was thinking about what Yue Changzhong had said to him when he came back.

These Jianghu people want to come to kill him, and he has to take over the recruitment first, and put these Jianghu people in order, otherwise once these Jianghu people intervene in the big matter of collecting grain, it will be too troublesome, these Jianghu people are no better than ordinary people, if they make trouble, it will be a very headache (qíng).

……

In the evening of the next day, a white sedan chair entered Rong County, attracting the attention of many people in Rong County.

This sedan chair is exquisite, gorgeous, and expensive at first glance.

The most important thing is that the sedan chair is carried by four women in red, who look heroic and sassy with scarves on their heads and hair coils, and looking at their slender (jiāo) and weak (shēn) shape, lifting this sedan chair is not at all effortless.

Many people in a small place like Rong County have never seen such a valuable thing in their lives, and being carried by such four beautiful women has attracted good people who have watched all the way.

It's just that the four women always had deep eyes, no face (qíng), ignoring the gaze of everyone around them, and carried the sedan chair all the way to a stop in front of the best inn in Rong County.

The four women put down the sedan chair, and then one of them respectfully saluted the sedan door: "Childe, it's here." ”

The car door opened, and a man in white stepped down.

As soon as this man appeared, it caused many people around him to scream, especially those women, after seeing this man, they were all moved, and they felt the deer in their hearts slammed into each other.

Because this man's appearance is so beautiful, his complexion is fair, his eyebrows are like a crescent moon, his eyes are like stars, and his hair is tied up and down his waist, which is even more beautiful than a woman, and it is impossible to see that he is a man just from his back.

After the man walked out of the sedan door, he looked up at the inn in front of him, and said to the woman: "When you go out, just stay at will, and let the store clean up." ”

His gentle tone warmed up many women who were watching.

"Yes, Childe." The woman hurriedly responded (yǔn).

The man then walked into the inn.

At this time, on the second floor of the inn, one of the windows was open, and a bearded man named Lin Feihong closed the window after watching this scene.

On the roof of this inn, sitting on the roof, Yuan Shen, who was dressed in black, also watched this scene.

Since Yuan Shen saw the many people from the rivers and lakes pouring in from Rongxian a few years ago, he has all lived here and integrated into it...
