Chapter 61 - Unexpected Conflict
"Lord Wang, it's not good, it's not good!"
Just as Zhao Fan was still hugging Joey and wanted to warm up for a while, there was a sudden shout outside the door.
Although Zhao Fan was very reluctant, he could only get dressed and gave Joey a kiss goodbye before coming to the compound.
"Lord Wang, it's not good, it's up to fight, it's all up!" As soon as Xu Yong saw Zhao Fan coming out, he hurriedly pulled him out and walked out.
"What's the fluster?" Zhao Fan frowned and said a little unpleasantly.
Xu Yong didn't say much, and pulled Zhao Fan to the Wanhua Tower in Luoyang City.
This Wanhualou is the largest green building in Luoyang City, it is very famous in the whole Luoyang vicinity, the girls inside are famous for their tenderness, it is full every day on weekdays, if you don't make an appointment, you can't get in line, and even many people from surrounding cities often come to visit, just to have a good time.
But at this time, Wanhualou was completely devoid of the excitement of the past, but rather a smell of black smoke and miasma.
The floor was full of broken tables and chairs, a group of small men were lying in the hall groaning in pain, and the bearded man was pressed to the ground, with a rag stuffed in his mouth, a steel knife around his neck, and his head trampled on the ground.
Scar Xu Yong and others confronted each other at the door with a group of soldiers, wanting to rush over to rescue the bearded man, but they were afraid that the other party would jump over the wall in a hurry and kill the bearded.
Zhao Fan took a closer look, and saw a white-clothed man on the opposite side holding a girl with heavy makeup in one hand, one foot on the bearded face, surrounded by dozens of strong men, confronting Scar and others, holding in his hand turned out to be a special flying fish crossbow for the Praetorian Guard!
Zhao Fan looked at the flying fish crossbow in the strong man's hand, and couldn't help but have a cold look in his eyes.
It seems that someone thinks that he is dizzy with old eyes, and he dares to make these small actions under his nose.
"Yo yo yo, here is another one who is not afraid of death." A hairy-faced man next to the man in white looked at the two people who came in and said jokingly.
"That's it, he dared to rob a woman with our Lin Gongzi, he just didn't know whether he was alive or dead." A middle-aged man with a soft face next to him pinched his orchid finger and said sarcastically, "Even if the gods are here today, they can't save this beard." ”
The man in white glanced at everyone disdainfully, did not speak, walked up and down with his hands on the woman in his arms, and stepped on the bearded foot and increased his strength, ravaging the bearded face vigorously.
The bearded man glanced at Zhao Fan with some shame, closed his eyes in shame, and didn't dare to look at Zhao Fan.
"What's going on?" Zhao Fan frowned and asked in a cold voice.
"Lord Wang, is this the case......" Scar walked quickly into Zhao Fan's ear and explained softly.
It turns out that this Wanhualou is the business of the Lin family, and this Lin family is one of the four major families in Luoyang City, naturally it is a big business, and Wanhualou is also decorated and luxurious.
Today back in Luoyang City, everyone won the battle, a few people were happy for a while, and they thought about coming to this Wanhualou to drink flower wine, who would have thought that this bearded man actually fell in love with a clear man inside, sneaked back, and made a big fuss to redeem the woman.
And that Qingqi himself is also a hard-working person, born poor, her parents died when she was a child, and she was adopted by her uncle.
But as we all know, the girl of Wanhualou is very cheap when she sells herself in, but it is extremely difficult to help them redeem herself, so the shopkeeper of the Qinglou gave the bearded man a ransom price of five hundred taels of silver, which is of course not a big deal for those rich businessmen and gentry, dignitaries and dignitaries, but for the bearded little commander, it is simply a sky-high price.
So the guy broke out, and took advantage of the strength of the wine to play a cross, dropped fifty taels of silver, and pulled the girl to run.
As a result, he was unsuspected, and the bearded man was shot in the limbs with a flying fish crossbow, and he was beaten into a pig's head, and his head was trampled on the ground and ravaged.
Zhao Fan looked towards the bearded man, and saw that there were indeed two arrows stuck in his thigh and right arm, and the arrows pierced the wound, and the wound was constantly bubbling bright red blood.
"This son, what do you have to do to release him?" Zhao Fan held back the anger in his heart and asked coldly towards the man in white.
"Release? Since he dares to come to our Wanhualou to make trouble, he should be mentally prepared, this hall has been made like this, and if he wants to repair it back, he will have to pay five thousand taels of silver no matter what. The man in white glanced at Zhao Fan disdainfully, and said with a sneer.
"Don't go too far, just you rags, at most fifty taels of silver will be up to the sky, and no matter what, he is also a hero who defends Luoyang City, if he didn't fight bloodily on the front line, would it be your turn to be arrogant here? You treat a hero who has just come off the battlefield like this, and your conscience is eaten by dogs? Scar on the side was furious when he heard this, and couldn't help but shout loudly.
"Hey, don't get excited, if it scares me, this knife in my hand slides down, but it's bad." The man in white put down the woman in his arms, took the long knife from the hand of the little guy next to him, gestured a few times on the bearded man's neck and said, "Let me tell you, don't scare me, if you don't give money today, even if King Shou comes, then you have to kneel down and kowtow to me three times, and then call me grandpa, so that I can consider whether to release people." ”
"Scar, go to the treasury to pay 5,500 taels of silver, and arrange for someone to move to Wanhualou for me." Zhao Fan's eyes were cold, he raised his hand to stop Scar, who was about to continue talking, and said coldly.
"Hey, wait, you don't want to redeem five hundred taels for our family's Qingqi, I'm sorry, it's not the price now, if you want to redeem her, it will cost two thousand taels." The man in white looked at Zhao Fan and said sarcastically.
"Don't deceive people too much!" Scar's face changed, and he pulled out his long knife and wanted to rush over desperately.
The atmosphere was very tense for a while, and both sides raised their crossbows and aimed at each other, in such a small space, if a battle broke out, it was estimated that no one would be pleased.
"Alright, Scar, didn't you hear me? Go and bring seven thousand taels of silver. ”
"Yes." Scar glared at the man in white viciously, didn't talk nonsense, and took the order.
"That's right, what heroes are not heroes, who begged you to defend Luoyang City? Without the support of our Lin family, this victory or defeat would not be certain. The man in white smiled proudly and said slowly, "Boy, I see that you still have a little bit of eyes, it's better to be like this, I still lack a janitor at home, so I will reluctantly accept your watchdog." ”
As soon as the words fell, the little strong men beside the man in white laughed loudly.
Zhao Fan raised his eyebrows, looked at the laughing crowd with idiot eyes, and did not speak.
