Chapter 6: The Sting (Part 2)

I didn't see anything, I didn't ask anything, I just saw that the road was uneven! If someone had given Wang Xun this idea half a year ago, he would have slapped him into the ditch! What, pretending to be stupid? Who is our little marquis? Except for the one who lives in the Taiji Palace who doesn't dare to provoke, the rest of the people who don't give face depends on the mood! How can you do such a stupid thing to hide your head and show your tail! (Note 1)

But after experiencing Yuwenzhi's imprisonment and release, Wang Xun has a new understanding of himself. There is a mountain and a mountain high, and in this Jingshi, the Wang family can't afford to provoke far more than the emperor in the Taiji Palace. Other prime ministers, generals, scholars, and squires are also good if they don't mess with them.

Turning around and smiling at the well-wisher who gave him an idea, he slowly turned around and bowed his hand: "Thank you little brother for reminding me, it's better to hand over these barbarians who are blocking the road to deal with the murders!" ”

"Yes, in broad daylight, a few barbarians from the Western Regions dared to commit murder at the feet of the Son of Heaven, is it true that I have no royal law in the Tang Dynasty?" The passer-by who came up with the idea nodded, making a teachable gesture.

At this time, the other passers-by who had fled to the wilderness for refuge slowly turned back, and some of them did not look at them, so they hurried on their way. More people immediately forgot about their fear, and began to exchange heads and ears around Wang Xun more than a dozen steps away.

"At this time, whose little brother is really capable, one against three, actually won!"

"How do I know, look at his clothes, it seems that only the emperor's forbidden army can wear them!"

"Even if it's a forbidden army, you have to pay for your life if you kill someone! After all, our Datang is a place with a king's law! ”

"Be quiet, watch out for him pulling you back!"

Annoyed by everyone's boring discussions, Wang Xun suddenly turned his head and shouted, "Shut up for me." Stay away, or I'll say you're all my comrades!" ”

"Coax!" The crowd fled like frightened flies, and not far away, then staggered to a halt and continued to peek in this direction. Angry, Wang Xun had no choice but to grab the last assassin's horizontal knife, draw a circle around the guy who was not dead, and signal unrelated people not to enter at will. Then he put down the knife and smiled at the kind passerby who had just given him the idea, "I'm afraid I'll have to find a few more people to come and help." Otherwise, it will be a mess here in a while! ”

"You can't go!" The kind-hearted passerby smiled and shook his head, "As soon as you leave, you have to mess around." Leave the impression of murder and absconding to the government, and if you want to turn it over again, it will be difficult! ”

"What then?" Wang Xun was suddenly a little embarrassed. There are more and more people on the official road, and according to the usual practice, whenever there is a fight, brawl, or murder, the servants in the yamen will not rush over easily without a moment and a half. There was a great distance between the two corpses and one of the wounded, and if someone took the opportunity to take something from the corpse, or sneak something in. The trouble I'm about to face is getting bigger and bigger.

"I don't have a good solution, at most I'll take care of it for you here!" The kind passer-by thought for a moment and continued: "But I suggest that you better find a few more witnesses, otherwise, it will be difficult for the government to listen to your side of the story!" ”

"Witnesses?" Wang Xun was stunned again, raised his head and looked around, frightening the people around him who were watching the excitement to avoid it again. Obviously, everyone has heard the advice about witnesses, and no one wants to deal with the government without incident.

Let a sleeping dog lie. The government has always hoped that the people will be like this, so they can't blame the spectators for being unrighteous. Turning his gaze back to the face of the only passerby who was willing to help him, Wang Xun noticed that this person was actually about the same age as himself. has a very attractive face, silkworm eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth, and when he smiles, his face is sprinkled with sunshine.

"It's not far from the barracks, since you're wearing a military uniform, you always have a few robes, right?" Seeing that Wang Xun turned his gaze back to himself, the sunny boy smiled and reminded in a low voice.

"That's right!" Wang Xun patted his head happily, "You help me watch, go on horseback to find ......." Forget it, forget it, I'm watching it myself, please go to the White Horse Fort barracks and find a lieutenant named Zhou Xiaofeng. Let's just say that Wang Xun met the assassin and asked him to bring a few people over quickly! This is my credential, give it to you, and as soon as you get to the door, someone will take you in! ”

After that, he untied his waist card and handed it over directly.

"You're not afraid I'll run away with it?" The sunshine boy laughed and joked, and then flew on the horse, "Your name is Wang Xun, my name is Yan Jiming!" Remember, you'd better not go with the errand until I come back! ”

"Little brother must obey Brother Ji Ming's orders!" Infected by the sunlight on the other party's face, Wang Xun arched his hand and shouted at Yan Jiming's back.

With the help of such a clever ghost, he coped with the rest with much calmer than before. After a while, the nearby Li Zheng arrived with a few strong Zhuang households, and when he saw that one party was wearing the uniform of the Flying Dragon Guard, he was not in a hurry to flee after the accident. On the other side, they all wore black scarves over their faces, hiding their heads and tails. First of all, it was determined that Wang Xun was definitely reasonable. In order to avoid misunderstandings, he first left the villagers in the distance, and then stepped forward empty-handed, clasping his fists and saluting from a distance of more than a dozen steps: "Little Lao'er is in this area, surnamed Liu, dare to ask the military master, is there anything you need help with?" ”

"There's Lao Liu!" Wang Xun couldn't ask for it, so he hurriedly reached the ground and returned it with the courtesy of his juniors, "Please find a few people, take care of the corpse, and don't let idlers touch it." These masked fellows suddenly burst out and tried to attack a carriage with crossbow arrows, and I had to take action when I saw that the road was uneven! ”

"It should be managed, it should be managed!" Liu Laohan saw that Wang Xun was not only square-looking, but also polite in his gestures, and immediately fully accepted his statement. "A guy with a hidden head and tail is not a good bird at first glance. Little Lao'er, this Kada has not been murdered for decades. Alas, what a lack of virtue! Don't pick a good place to die! ”

While scolding, he walked away tremblingly. He led the farmer who came with him and guarded the corpses of the two assassins in the distance.

After another moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves on the official road, and hundreds of messengers, armed with long knives and iron rods, killed them violently. While galloping on his horse, he shouted to himself to give himself courage, "Where, where, don't go away from the murderer, idle people and other evasions!" ”

Hearing this, the people who watched the excitement dispersed again. The head-hunting guy who led the team rushed a few steps, and suddenly grabbed the reins of the horse fifty steps away from Wang Xun, and pointed forward with the tip of the knife, "Brothers, take him down for me." Let's take it back to the county government first! ”

"Yes!" A hundred and ten officers emboldened each other, but no one would be the first to rush forward.

"Catch me?" Seeing that the intention was not good, Wang Xun stood up abruptly and aimed his crossbow arrow at the head catcher who led the team, "Something that doesn't have long eyes, look at what this is?" ”

"Ahhh~!" After all, it was eaten by the Jingshi Yamen, and the knowledge was different from other places. Hearing Wang Xun's reminder, all errands and helpers, regardless of the level of the position, are hired privately, inside and outside, and at the same time shrink their necks and hide their heads. "Don't, don't be impulsive, have something to say, have something to say!"

"Which one is the one who takes the lead, report the name!" Knowing that if he entered the yamen in a daze, he would definitely not be able to speak clearly with a hundred mouths on his body, Wang Xun flattened the Fubo crossbow and kept moving towards the officers. Whichever direction the eerie crossbow bolt was pointed, the person in that direction immediately retracted a large section.

The head hunters who led the team had suffered this kind of humiliation, and while shrinking their bodies into the pile, they threatened loudly, "Boy, arrest with weapons, complicity in the crime." You're still holding ....... in your hand."

"Keep your eyes open and look at my clothes again!" has the experience of dealing with Sun Renyu's big head hunt, Wang Xun knows that he can't give a good face to this kind of guy. Only by holding them down in momentum can they avoid being blackmailed by them.

"You ......." the head catcher who led the team secretly complained. Just now he received a reminder from some people, and he realized that the guys who went out to run errands today had a bad luck and messed up a thing that was supposed to be caught. originally planned to rely on the identity of Chang'an County's head catcher, first catch the stupid boy who ruined the good deeds of his own adults to the county office, and then slowly find a way to dye the white black and wash the black white. But he didn't expect that the other party was an officer of the Flying Dragon Guard, and he still had the forbidden evidence that his own people secretly got from the army!

In front of everyone's eyes, he wanted to deny that he didn't know the other party's uniform, it was impossible. However, once the case is handled officially, I am afraid that he alone can plug the hole in the back. Sensei said that it was him, and he couldn't even block the Chang'an County order above to fill himself in. Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard someone next to him whisper a reminder, "Boss, stabilize him first, let me lead someone to outflank him, and solve the two corpses over there!" ”

"Yes!" The head catcher woke up like a dream, settled down, and immediately put on a smiling face, "Little brother, little brother, don't worry, don't worry." Our Yamen in Chang'an County will not let go of a bad person, nor will we wronged a good person. You, can you put down the crossbow arrow first, let's discuss it slowly! ”

"Sign up!" Wang Xun confirmed that this person was the main master, and simply aimed the crossbow arrow at his head. "Don't be verbose, report your name first. You guys, don't move. If you want to die, just look around me! ”

More than 100 errand officers, if they pounced at the same time, ten Wang Xun would have already been overturned. But the truth is that in fact, no one wants to be the only target. Under the threat of the cold arrows, several officials who had already planned to outflank them retreated in a panic. provoked a burst of laughter from the people watching the excitement in the distant wilderness.

"Grandma's, Lao Tzu's people have made you lose everything!" The headcatcher was so angry with reality that he rolled his eyes. In desperation, he had to take a few steps back, trying to avoid the Fubo crossbow in Wang Xun's hand, and said with a smile: "I, I am Jia Jilin, the head catcher of Chang'an County, can the little brother report his name and surname, maybe we can make friends!" ”

Wang Xun smiled slightly, raised his voice abruptly, and shouted around: "Don't change your name when you sit down, don't change your surname, your surname is Kong, and your name is good!" Today, I saw several masked gangsters attacking passers-by, and they had no choice but to draw their knives and behead them. Killed two, and one more, and it seems like there's still half a breath left! ”

He had already decided that the gang of errands in Chang'an County had no good intentions towards him, so he puffed up his temper and said every word clearly. The people who hid in the distance to watch the excitement originally hated the errands for indiscriminately arresting people when they came up, but when they heard Wang Xun's words at this moment, they immediately accepted it without any doubt. The timid shook his head secretly, and the bold slapped his face and echoed loudly: "Okay, kill well." The guy who covers his face with a black cloth in broad daylight is definitely not a good person! ”

Jia Jilin, the head catcher in Chang'an County, was shocked and angry, and wanted to take down "Kong Youfang" with all the messengers, but he was afraid that he would be hit with a crossbow in his throat before he could catch someone. He knew all three guys with their faces covered, and although they were a little less skilled, they wouldn't die at the hands of an ordinary passerby. Obviously, the young man named "Kong Youfang" in front of him is strong in martial arts, and it is estimated that it will not be a problem to casually clean up more than a dozen of his subordinates.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sweat beads rolling down his forehead. Official, definitely not. Reversing black and white, the power is not enough. However, the sun above his head is rising higher and higher, and there are more and more people coming and going on the official road. Not only did the Pingtou people stop one after another, but several vermilion lacquer and copper-mounted carriages were also blocked on the road, and the owners of the cars opened the curtains and looked at the two sides of the confrontation.

"Head, secretly killed him with a bow and arrow!" The official who had previously recruited Jia Jilin spoke again, throwing out a desperate plan, "Hurry up, while he hasn't ripped off the mask on the assassin's face!" ”

It's deliberately not, leave a little leeway! Jia Jilin suddenly had a flash of inspiration in front of his eyes. As long as the identity of the Assassin is not revealed, there is hope that this matter will be dealt with in the past. It's a pity that this clever teenager has to die. Otherwise, there will be hundreds of deaths in the Jingshi.

Secretly retracting his body back a few feet again, Jia Jilin hid his head behind his subordinates, and gestured to a few henchmen to prepare feather arrows. Immediately, he poked out half of his head and shouted loudly: "Put down the crossbow arrows, tie your hands and arrest them, and the official will definitely give you justice." Otherwise, Hugh blames the official for being unkind to you! ”

After shouting, he moved his hand back, and was ready to order someone to give Wang Xun a 10,000 arrow to pierce his body. At this moment, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in my ears, "Stop!" Lao Tzu wants to see who dares to be rude to Lao Tzu's people! ”

"Ahh Not only Jia Jilin was startled by the sound of the broken shout, but the other catchers were also so frightened that they let go of their bows and arrows, and looked up at the source of the sound. I saw several Wyvern guards, led by a scar-faced officer, slaughtering them at a gallop. On horseback, all the Wyvern Guards had flat arms, and in each of them had a well-wound riding crossbow in their hands.
