Volume 1 Northwest Wind and Cloud Chapter 18 If the heavens do not work
Jiang Lan and the others followed Lin Daiyan and came outside the west gate of Hanzhong City.
Before entering the city, the two put the hats they had prepared on their heads. Jiang Lan still felt uneasy, so he took out two more handfuls of mustache and put them on his face.
Lin Daiyan looked at all this, and guessed: Because the master and uncle are thieves and are afraid of the government, they have such a move. So I didn't ask much.
After making a good disguise, they followed Lin Daiyan into the city.
This Hanzhong City is worthy of being a big city in the northwest, and there are all kinds of buildings in the city, such as teahouses and tiles, gambling houses, and merchant guilds...... In addition, the juggling and selling on the street are not comparable to those in small towns at all.
Along the way, Lin Daiyan introduced everything as far as his eyes could see for the two.
Xiang Beichuan is okay, he has been here more than once. It's Jiang Lan, who really looks like a stupid boy who has just entered the city, and he feels fresh when he sees everything.
The three of them walked and strolled, and before they knew it, they came to the door of a mansion.
"Master, uncle. This is the Humble House, if you don't dislike it, please settle down here. Let the disciples do their best landlord friendship. Lin said as he bowed to the two.
Xiang Beichuan shook his head when he heard this: "No, the two of us still have ......."
"Okay!" Xiang Beichuan was just about to say no, but he heard Jiang Lan's side agree, "Just meet your father and mother, let them know that you worship a good master!" ”
He frowned and pulled Jiang Lan aside: "Brother Jiang, we have something important to do this time!" How can you still go to someone's house? If you want me to say, we'd better go directly to the welcome building and wait for the two tigers to come over...... Besides, how can I, the thief master, have the face to meet his father? ”
"Oops, old Xiang! You can go to the welcome building in two days! Erhu is busy with housework, and they will definitely have to deal with it for a few days. Besides, when we go to this house, don't we just hide in the city! Even if those ghost-faced people tried to break their heads, they couldn't have guessed that we would be here...... As for your identity, just listen to the master later! Jiang Lan explained confidently.
Xiang Beichuan had no choice but to enter the Lin Mansion with the two of them.
"Daddy! Mother! I am back! ”
As soon as Lin Daiyan entered the mansion, he ignored the greetings of the people and shouted impatiently.
"Son, you're back!"
"Son, are you worried about dying as a mother......"
As soon as the three of them turned around the back wall, they saw an old couple come out, and they saw their faces full of care and love. Presumably, in the past two days that Lin Daiyan has been away from home, the two of them have been anxious enough.
"Son, how are you? Didn't suffer, did you? I said that your father is too, the child is talking nonsense, and he takes it seriously! actually forced my son to run away from home......" The woman felt sorry for Lin's endorsement and complained about Lin's father.
"Mother! The baby is fine, yes! The child also worshiped a master, this time the child should not be a bandit! Be a hero! ”
"Master?"
When the old couple heard this, they looked behind Lin Daiyan and saw the two people who came in together.
One is strong, but there is an eyepatch on his left eye, which looks a little fierce. The other is tall and straight, but the two mustaches on his mouth are crooked, how awkward it looks.
"The child introduced to you, this is Xiang Bei......"
"In the next item North North."
Xiang Beichuan hurriedly interrupted Lin Daiyan, he knew that he was famous and would scare the other party, so he casually changed his name.
"It turned out to be a hero, I don't know what a hero does for a living?" is worthy of being a businessman, Father Lin asked about the industry as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Down, uh, down......"
"The two of us used to be palace guards, and then we resigned and stopped working." Seeing that Xiang Beichuan couldn't make it up, Jiang Lan hurriedly stepped forward to panic for him.
However, Xiang Beichuan did work as an errand for the royal family before. Therefore, there is still some truth in this statement.
"Oh...... I'll just say, how can there be a bit of the taste of the capital in the hero's accent......" Father Lin didn't know how much to believe, he hugged the two of them and saluted, "The old man's name is Lin Wancai, who is doing business in this northwest and barely maintaining his family. This is Xiannai, Wang. ”
"Barely sustaining? If you barely survive this, how many people will starve to death! Jiang Lan thought in his heart, but said on his lips, "It turned out to be Brother Lin Nian, I had heard of Brother Nian's name a long time ago, and when I saw it today, it was really as his name!" In Xia Jianglan, he is the cousin of Brother Xiang and the uncle of Ling Lang. ”
Jiang Lan, who is usually full of "little master", has become so polite at this moment, which makes Xiang Beichuan fall for a while.
"Since the two of you can persuade my son to go back to the house, you can see the chivalrous heart of the two. It is my son's blessing to meet two knights. Although Lin Wancai guessed in his heart that these two people were greedy for his family's money and status, he still said respectfully.
"That's it! The politeness is also polite. The two of you have just entered the house, so you must not have eaten yet! If this is not the case, I will command my servants to prepare a feast for the two of them. Mrs. Lin glanced at Lin Wancai and said instead.
When Jiang Lan and the others heard this, they had no opinion.
So, under the warm hospitality of the Lin family, Jiang Lan and Xiang Beichuan had a long-lost full meal......
After lunch, Jiang Lan excused himself to go out to find out the news, but in fact he went out for a stroll.
He walked down the street, looking at everything on the street with curiosity in his eyes.
……
Just as he passed by a pavilion, he suddenly heard a commotion inside.
"You slut, get out of here!"
With an angry scolding, a naked woman was pushed out of the pavilion.
She stumbled and fell heavily to the ground. Its face was broken in several places, blood mixed with tears running down its face.
The woman was about to get up when a man, topless, chased him out of the attic. With a big hand, he grabbed the woman by the hair and pulled her up from the ground. The woman couldn't bear the pain, she covered her body with one hand, protected her hair with the other, and cried incessantly in her mouth.
"You slut, I told you to be ignorant! Don't you want a festival? Today, I will make your name utter! The man shouted and cursed, and soon many passers-by stopped and watched.
Jiang Lanzhi, who watched this scene, frowned, he didn't want to cause more trouble, but the person in front of him was too much!
"Stop!"
Jiang Lan shouted, and at the same time walked out of the crowd of onlookers.
"Where did the wild man come from, he is not small! Even Lao Tzu's idle business dares to take care of it! ”
"You let her go first!" Jiang Lan said coldly.
The man just wanted to have a seizure, but he saw Jiang Lan carrying a long knife behind him. He sneered: "Okay, I'll let it go." ”
The man shook his hand and threw the woman against the wall again.
After getting out of trouble, the woman glanced at Jiang Lan with gratitude on her face, and then suddenly got up and hit her head against the wall......
Jiang Lan's eyes were closed, he couldn't bear to look at the tragic situation in front of him.
After a while, he said coldly: "You, in broad daylight, if you force a woman from a good family to die, won't you shoot the king's law?" ”
"Hehe, Wang Fa?" Hearing this, the man sneered, "Do you know who Lao Tzu is?" Lao Tzu's own uncle is the county guard in this county! Do you mention the king's law to Lao Tzu? Tell you, Lao Tzu is the king! ”
The man looked at Jiang Lan arrogantly: "Besides, this little girl's skin was bought by Lao Tzu for two taels of silver." She even lives with Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu can do whatever he wants! No one can care. ”
Jiang Lan was speechless by the man, and he also had a sultry in his chest.
"Wu Na man, you can't afford to mess with him, let's go." The onlookers reminded the aunt.
Jiang Lan nodded: "Okay!" Then he turned and walked away.
"Get out! Wild man! Behind him, the man's arrogant voice came......
Damn it!
Before going down the mountain, I often heard my father-in-law tell me the story of those chivalrous warriors fighting the sword and punishing the evil and eliminating the evil. But it wasn't until today that I realized that even a dissolute person like myself was still constrained by rules and regulations.
Bound by those corrupt laws, most of the code maintains the rights of princes and generals. There are those numb onlookers, who only care about being spectators, but no one dares to stand with them. The most important thing is your own situation, if you want to be happy today, then your whereabouts will inevitably be exposed.
In the end, he found that he could do nothing but be indignant......
"Impossible! It can't just be left at that! Jiang Lan thought in his heart, and the people also returned to the Lin Mansion.
……
At night, Jiang Lan paced alone in the room, as if waiting for something.
"Boom! - Knock! Boom! "In the distance, on the castle tower, there was a long and short drum beat.
"It's time for the third watch!" Jiang Lan whispered to himself, then he took out a black cloth face towel from his arms, covered it on his face, and then put a long knife on his back.
Push open the door. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, he jumped onto the roof with one arrow step.
In the middle of the night, under the moonlight, a vigorous figure jumped on the vermilion jade brick.
In the blink of an eye, he flew away from the Lin Mansion.
Jiang Lan flew all the way to the wall, and the speed was much faster than on the street. It wasn't long before he came near the pavilion during the day.
As soon as he landed on the top of the pavilion, he faintly heard a faint sound of feimi, mixed with rapid breathing.
Jiang Lan followed the sound, opened a tile, and saw that the man and a woman were turning clouds and rain during the day. He squinted, his face flashed, and then he tumbled down the eaves and disappeared from the roof.
In less than half a cup of tea, the sound subsided.
"Master Zhao, how is the slave family serving you?"
"Not bad, not bad! You're so much stronger than that Lian'er! ”
When the woman heard the name "Lian'er", her face changed, and then a pair of jade arms wrapped around Zhao Ye, and said in a coquettish voice: "Zhao Ye, during the day, that little slut doesn't know how to lift, don't treat the slave family like that!" ”
"Hehe, how could it be! It's too late for me to spoil you. Zhao Ye pinched the woman's face, "Go, I'm a little thirsty, so I told my subordinates to make me a pot of hot tea, and the tea in the house is cold." ”
When the woman heard this, she said yes, and then wrapped up in two clothes and went out.
As soon as the woman left, a window in the house was silently pushed open. A black figure jumped into the room along the window.
Zhao Ye on the bed also heard the voice, and he got up to look. Then he saw a man in black, carrying a knife, walking towards him.
"You ......" Zhao Ye blurted out a word, and he felt a cold flash in front of him, then a cold neck, then a heat, and a stream of blood flowed out of it. He hurriedly clutched his neck, then fluttered and retreated, only to find that there was a wall behind him, and he had no way to retreat!
"Hmph, don't worry, the master just cut off your airway, just to make you a little less noisy, and you won't die immediately...... You! I don't know what your name is, but you have committed seven unpardonable sins. Every time there is one, the master will slash you. The seventh knife will take your dog's life! ”
When Zhao Ye heard this, his face was full of horror.
"That knife just now, for you to buy and sell women, and treat people as livestock! And the next knife is ......"
Before Jiang Lan finished speaking, he slashed at Zhao Ye's lower body.
This knife slashed him in unbearable pain, and he wanted to be killed on the spot.
"Why is this knife, you know ...... in your heart"
"Three, the bully!
Fourth, those who despise the king's law!
Fifth, those who hook up officials and seize power!
Sixth, those who regard human life as a mustard! ”
Jiang Lan whispered about Zhao Ye's guilt, and every time he said a word, he slashed a knife on his body. After four sentences, Zhao Ye on the bed was already only breathing in and out, and he was dying.
"This last knife, the crime hasn't been thought of yet, so it should be the price you pay for making the master unhappy!"
……
Jiang Lan looked at Zhao Ye who was blurred with blood and flesh on the bed, and he gasped for breath.
I never thought that I would become so bloody one day! I never thought that judging sinners would be so enjoyable!
"Since the heavens don't do the right, the master will do it for the heavens!" Jiang Lan muttered, then turned his head to look at the door, "Outside the door, you've heard enough, and you still haven't come in?" ”
With a "squeak", the door was pushed open, and the woman who had just gone out walked in trembling.
Jiang Lan shook his head: "You don't have to be afraid! The master does not kill women and children...... However, you remember it for me, the young master's name is Tiandao. Today's murderer, the way of heaven also! ”
The woman breathed a sigh of relief, he nodded, and when he looked up again, he saw that the man in black was gone.
"Someone! Zhao Ye is dead......" The woman screamed like a broken voice.
