Chapter 13: Di Fat Comes (Part I)
In the territory west of Changping County, there is Xiaolianzi Village, which is located in the remaining veins of Hengshan Mountain, backed by deep mountains, and is very remote. The dilapidated village is sparsely populated, desolate, and has little taste of life.
Di Renjie went around the township, observed the people's feelings, and found out the true feelings of the villagers' riots and prison robberies in Daliushu Village. The consolation money was swallowed, the land was occupied, and the petition begged the yamen to refuse, but was stabbed by Shi Fangqian and thrown into prison.
One by one, one by one, Di Renjie's heart was shocked and angry. Leaving Daliushu Village, he stayed here and stayed at the home of villager Lu Dayou.
It was early in the morning, the sun was slowly rising, and birds were already chirping outside. The farmhouse hut is very simple, and in the small yard, Hu Jinghui is fiddling with his fists and feet, stretching his muscles and bones.
Between the movements, his eyes involuntarily turned to the West House, and there was a flash of murderous intent in his eyes. Li Yuanfang was left in Daliushu Village by Di Renjie to take care of the old and weak villagers, and only let him come with him.
After a turn in the deep mountains, when he stayed in this village last night, he found a character who surprised him very much, the "Li Er" who escaped from his hands in the barren mountain earth temple the night before, although he was highly poisonous, but he still had a breath.
This made Hu Jinghui have to sigh that the life of this Turkic Jili Khan is big, Di Renjie's medical skills are very clever, and a few needles pierced him and hung his life. Now, Hu Jinghui really wants to kill this person and eliminate hidden dangers, but at Di Renjie's moment, he doesn't dare to make any changes, so as not to arouse suspicion.
In the west house, Di Renjie was still dressed in the brocade costume, his expression was indifferent, and he was giving the pulse of "Li Er", the black and cyan on his face had faded a lot, and the situation seemed to be stable, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
His eyes were scrutinizing Li Er's body, and he was suspicious when he first saw this person yesterday. Deep in the mountains, a person who is highly poisonous in the depths, poisonous or snake venom!
If you say that you were mistakenly bitten by a poisonous snake in the mountains, this snake venom is too powerful. And the identity of this person is also doubtful, if it is said that it is a woodcutter who collects firewood, according to the villager Lu Dayou, the surrounding mountains and forests have long been sealed by the government, and they are deterred by things such as "ghost towns" and "ghosts", and ordinary people dare not enter the mountains.
Judging by its strong physique, between the gods and the universe, it does not look like an ordinary woodcutter hunter. In Di Renjie's eyes, the person on the bed is too suspicious.
and the tiger-headed eagle with the stab on its forearm......
Di Renjie's brows became heavier.
Out of the West House, I saw Lu Dayou's family on the four walls again, and his sister was tinkering with some wild vegetables left over from yesterday for food. I can't help but sigh again, the people of Youzhou are having a hard time, this Youzhou assassin Shi Fangqian, should be punished!
"My lord, it's time for us to go back to Zhou City!" Seeing Di Ren's outstanding house, Hu Jinghui put away his fists and stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
The longer Di Renjie stayed with "Li Er", the more unstable he became, and now he just wanted him to leave as soon as possible and spread the news that "Li Er" was here as soon as possible. I am also deeply afraid that Di Renjie will be suspicious, Di is very fat, and he has felt it very deeply along the way.
"This business is not finished yet!" Hearing this, he shook his head and pointed to the house.
Hu Jinghui didn't dare to show too much, only glanced inward, and said: "The surrounding hometown, you have also visited almost the same, if you want to solve the difficulties of the people, you still need to go to the state city." Lu Dayou went to grab the medicine, according to what you taught to use the medicine, it should be no big deal. You've done your duty, so why delay our time. ”
"We've been in Youzhou for several days, and there is still no progress in the mission case, the emperor only gave you three months, and the general is in a hurry!" Hu Jinghui scratched his head, showing a little urgency.
Seeing this, Di Renjie smiled: "Don't worry! No hurry! ”
Looking at the east side, the sun that had already emerged from the mountains and forests, Di Renjie said to Hu Jinghui: "Jinghui, you take out the map!" ”
Hu Jinghui was a little puzzled: "What do you want to do, adult?" ”
"Pick it up!" Di Renjie pinched his beard and chuckled.
"Yes!"
In the small courtyard, Di Renjie stretched out his hand and pointed to the map of Youzhou and said to Hu Jinghui: "Jinghui, look, from here to the north, not far after coming out of the mountain, it is Juyong Pass!" ”
With a frown, Hu Jinghui looked at Di Renjie suspiciously, not knowing what the old man had in mind.
"There is a lot of time to go out of the village to buy medicine, it should take a lot of time to go back and forth, you and I go out for a walk, go to this Juyong Pass to go around!" Di Renjie said with a smile, his eyes full of meaning.
……
It was in the afternoon, the sun seemed very spicy, at the Juyong Pass, the defense was much stricter, and a team of soldiers checked the travel in and out of the city, although there were only a few business travelers.
"Martial law in Jixian County is due to riots among villagers. Why is this Juyong Pass also under martial law, could it be that there is an enemy? But this is Nanguan! Or is there something else? Not far south of the gate, looking at the scene under the city gate, Di Renjie muttered.
"I was too comfortable in Pengze County before, but my old legs haven't suffered such a crime for a long time!" From Xiaolianzi Village to now, most of them are mountain roads, which consumes a lot of physical strength, Di Fatpang's old legs obviously can't stand it, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said to Hu Jinghui on the side: "Jinghui, let's go, let's take a look!" ”
"Yes!" Hu Jinghui smiled a little beside him: "My lord, you came to Juyongguan for the town general Yuanhui!" ”
Di Renjie smiled and didn't speak.
There were no other pedestrians at the city pass, Di Renjie and Hu Jinghui stepped forward and immediately attracted the attention of the guards.
"Who are you?" The leader of the fire, looked at the official guide in his hand, raised his head and asked, his eyes scanning Di and Hu.
still took out the rhetoric of "Jianghu Langzhong", facing Di Fatpang's kind eyes, Huo Chang nodded, and his attention was on Hu Jinghui, his eyes were a little unkind. Hu Jinghui is tall, although he is wearing civilian clothes, his temperament is not like an ordinary person.
"What's in the baggage?" Huo Chang said coldly: "Take it out and check it!" ”
In the baggage, there are the emperor's edicts and documents proving Di Renjie's identity, so Hu Jinghui naturally won't check a small fire chief.
"It's all soft!" Di Renjie immediately smiled and said to Hu Jinghui: "Jinghui, we have no ghosts in our hearts, if this military master wants to check, we will check him!" ”
As he spoke, he quietly stuffed two pieces of loose silver into the fire chief's hand.
After turning around Di and Hu, and seeing that the two of them didn't seem to be carrying weapons, the fire chief waved his hand: "Let's go into the city, be honest!" ”
"Thank you, Master Jun!" Di Renjie arched his hands, narrowed his eyes, and asked as if he had no intention of probing: "I don't know what's going on in this city pass, the inventory is so strict?" ”
"Don't talk too much if you shouldn't ask!" ushered in a reprimand from the fire chief.
"Yes! Be! Be! The old man has a lot of mouths, don't blame the military master! Di Renjie's attitude was very docile, and he repeatedly confessed his crimes, and after speaking, he pulled Hu Jinghui and went to the city.
Looking at the backs of the two, Huo Chang weighed the silver money in his hand, and there was a different color flashing in his eyes.
"You take two people, keep an eye on them, and pay attention to their whereabouts!" commanded one of the next captains.
After thinking for a while, the fire chief walked into the city, climbed the stairs, went to the city tower, looked at it a few times, and quickly leaned on the top to salute: "Captain, look! ”
Li Jian looked at the few taels of silver coins in the fire chief's hand, and frowned: "What's the matter?" ”
