Early the next morning, the south gate of Pingzhou City was opened, and passers-by who had been waiting outside the city for a long time rushed into the city gate.

Villagers who went to the city early in the morning to visit relatives also used horse-drawn carts or carts to pull some fresh vegetables and poured in.

A small vendor pushes a cart of vegetables to the south of the city, which is a small market where small vendors set up their stalls every morning.

The vendor handed a cart of vegetables to a man, who threw him some copper plates, and the vendor happily counted them and left.

The man pushed the cart of vegetables, turned around in the alleyway, and then came to a backyard.

After knocking on the door, a man poked his head out to take a look, opened the backyard door, and the man pushed the food in.

After a while, a burly man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked out of the room.

The man who pushed the dishes hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Brother Shi, the news has been sent in." ”

The thick-eyed man had a little anger in his eyes, nodded expressionlessly, and then walked over, rummaged through a basket of vegetables, turned out a cabbage, and then pulled the cabbage away with his hand and took out a note from it.

He opened the note, and there were only three words written on it: "Kill the horse!" ”

After reading it, the man named Shi Guangshun crumpled the note into a ball and held it in his hand, and said in an indifferent tone: "My lord, how many people have been sent to me?" ”

"I don't know, I'm only responsible for sending you news, and my lord said that in three days, they will come here to look for you." The man who pushed the vegetables hurriedly said.

Shi Guangshun nodded: "Are the people from the government still looking for me?" ”

"These days, the people of the government are also looking for you on the street all day long, but they are not as strict as in previous days, with Brother Shi's skills, if you act at night, these officials will definitely be easy to deal with." The man said.

Shi Guangshun snorted coldly: "I won't take these officials seriously, I'm worried about Yuan Shen, spreading the news that I want to assassinate the horse in the palace, it must be his doing, last time I was attacked by him and a mysterious woman in Shili Temple, which caused me to be seriously injured, and now I am cured, he must still be looking for me in Pingzhou City, and now I am single-handed, and I am still being stared at by the government, and it is not good to act." ”

The man said: "The adults over there said that Brother Shi was able to bring back the news that the Snow God Sect sent people to Pingzhou to find the horses, which is already a great achievement, and if he can complete this matter and go back, he will definitely double the reward." ”

Shi Guangshun waved his hand: "Whether to reward or not to reward is a matter of later words, now that the adults have given the next order, the top priority is how to act." ”

The man said: "Brother Shi rest assured, these days, my eyeliner in Pingzhou has found out the traces of this horse, he will go to the Laolong River every two days, around noon, and will not come back from the Laolong River until after sunset in Shenshi, and it is almost dark when he comes back, this is the best time to start, although there are some secret guards around him, but these guards are not in the climate, easy to deal with." ”

Shi Guangshun's eyes kept flickering: "That being said, after all, this is the concubine of Princess Gaoping of the dynasty, kill him, the court will investigate him, and I will not have a good time in the future, so this time, we must ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

The man hurriedly said again: "Brother Shi can rest assured, when the time comes, Brother Shi will act together with the people sent by the adults, and I will lead the people from the government to lead them away." ”

Shi Guangshun nodded.

These Jianghu people originally lived a life of licking blood from the knife edge, and although they were still a little jealous of the people in the court, they did not hesitate at all once they really started.

A sneer crossed the corner of his mouth: "Yuan Shen, Flying Frost Divine Sword, I will assassinate him as you wish, and see how you protect him." ”

……

After noon on this day, Zhang Xiang took the little slave out of the house and went to the Laolong River.

After the new workshop was settled, the follow-up arrangements were handed over to the shopkeeper Huang, he actually didn't have much to do, these days, he was in the house, in addition to dealing with some trivial family affairs in the house, is to teach some simple mathematical formulas to Qian Ziang and Du Boguang.

These two people don't look at their fifties in their age, but they do some things related to calculations on weekdays, so as long as Zhang Xiang teaches them these simple formulas and laws, it is not difficult for them to learn it with patience.

It's not a high number or anything like that, it's all some low-level mathematics, as long as you have learned addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and then understand the laws of operation of these formulas, you will basically be able to do it.

It's just that when the carriage arrived on the street of the downtown area, it stopped, and sitting in the carriage, Zhang Xiang could still hear a bustling noise in front of him.

He lifted the carriage curtain and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The coachman hurriedly said: "Back to the horse, it seems that something has happened ahead, it is full of people and blocking the way, so let them get out of the road first." ”

"No need." Zhang Xiang waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm tired of sitting too, little slave, why don't you join in the fun." ”

The little slave hurriedly followed him obediently.

The master and servant walked towards the door of a tavern that was already full of people in front of them.

"It's called Hanako, and I don't look at what kind of place this is, dare to come and steal things!"

"Old thing, get out of here!"

"If it weren't for your age, I would have had someone beat you up."

"If you don't leave, I'll report to the official, don't affect our business."

"Phew, it's really unlucky, it's most annoying to meet this kind of person."

“……”

In the noisy crowd, there seemed to be the sound of the tavern shop scolding and scolding.

Zhang Xiang squeezed through the crowd, and only then did he see clearly that an old man in ragged clothes, short in stature, messy hair, a little rickety, with a wine gourd hanging from his waist, and a pair of broken straw sandals hanging on his dirty feet was playing scoundrels on the ground, and he was still humming and chirping: "Ouch, I killed someone, I killed the old man, and there is no reason left, the government still cares about it......

And so on.

Some of the onlookers accused the shopkeeper of not beating the old man, and some said that the old man was old and shouldn't steal.

Zhang Xiang listened to it for a while and finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that the old beggar slipped into the back kitchen of this tavern, stole a bowl of wine and a piece of beef, hid in the back kitchen to eat, and was discovered by the shopkeeper, so he was beaten out.

The old beggar would sigh and lie on the ground covering his waist, saying that the shopkeeper had injured him, and he wanted the tavern to pay him half a catty of beef and a gourd of wine, otherwise he would not leave.

There is no shortage of people in this world who are happy to watch the excitement and think that things are big.

So many people watched the excitement for such a while, but no one said a fair word, whether it was reporting to the official or helping, no one did these things.

Naturally, the shopkeeper didn't dare to touch the old beggar again, in case he was really injured, he couldn't tell with ten mouths, so he could only scold.

After understanding what happened, Zhang Xiang also found it interesting.

It turns out that this kind of thing is a tradition that has been handed down from ancient times to the present.

He said to the little slave on the side: "Little slave, have you brought any money?" ”

"Brought it." The slave nodded, then pulled out a bag of broken silver.

Zhang Xiang said: "Go and tell the store, take two catties of cooked beef for this old man, and then fill his wine gourd with wine." ”

"The horse is really a bodhisattva's heart, and the slave and maid will go." The little slave nodded happily, she was a person who had suffered from famine, and she knew the suffering of these refugees, and she had long felt sorry for this old man in her heart.

Zhang Xiang smiled and said, "We have to let people disperse, so that our carriage can pass!" ”

After a while, the shopkeeper sent out the beef and wine with a smile on his face, stuffed it to the old man on the ground, and nodded to Zhang Xiang: "Childe is really kind-hearted, the meat and wine are ready." ”

Then he changed his cold face and got beef and wine on the ground, and the old man with a smile snorted coldly: "Don't thank you for this son, you are lucky today, if you come to steal it again next time, see that I don't break your legs." ”

"Thank you, Childe, thank you." The old man jumped up, not to mention how energetic his spirit was.

Zhang Xiang waved his hand and said, "Okay, let people disperse, my carriage still has to pass!" ”

"Everyone's dispersed, dispersed, don't look at it." The shopkeeper hurriedly greeted loudly.

Soon, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Zhang Xiang got into the carriage again, and when he passed by the tavern, he took a look, and at the entrance of the alley next to the tavern, the old man carrying the wine gourd and beef, the stiff back gradually disappeared... (Ask for Votes)
