The cold wind was whining, the chill was bleak, and the thick smell of blood spread with the wind.

Although the dead were all bandits, the scene of corpses everywhere still looked a bit terrifying, so Cui Shen ordered Qingzhuang to collect their corpses one by one.

"Cui County Order, there are a few bandits whose heads and bodies don't quite match us."

"Don't worry about it, just make sure that the corpses are complete, these bandits are all raccoon dogs anyway!"

"Cui County Order, I think that bench is a bit evil, the thief insisted on holding it, and kept calling it sister-in-law, to make love with it, what should we do?"

"Since they can't be separated, then tie him up with the bench and bring him back to the yamen!"

Commanding these leaders, Cui Shen was a little difficult to separate for a while, and he said to Xie Qiao: "Ziping, I will continue to collect the corpses here, but I am worried that there are still remnants of bandits in this cottage, I will allocate 200 people for you, and you will lead them to search in the backyard of the cottage." If you encounter a bandit, if you can catch it, you will be caught, and if you can't be caught, you will be killed on the spot! If you encounter people who have been captured by bandits, bring them back to the yamen first, verify their identity and then make arrangements! ”

Xie Qiao gave up his hand: "Yes, Dong Weng!" ”

To say that this Qingfeng Village is built by the mountain, its backyard is empty and abnormal, in which the houses are located in a messy manner, several heavy and several stacks, in this dark night, can not help but give people a sense of loneliness and horror.

"Ahh

Xie Qiao hurriedly ran over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The man trembled and said, "Mr. Xie, I just saw a figure flash in front of my eyes, it's really scared to death!" ”

Xie Qiaohu said suspiciously: "You shouldn't be dazzled, right?" ”

"No way, I can see it clearly!"

"Mr. Xie, it's not that he is dazzled, I saw it just now, I suspect that this place is haunted!"

As soon as these words came out, the young men present were all shocked, and they remembered the strange scene of the bandits killing each other before, and they couldn't help but feel a little creepy.

When Xie Qiao heard this, his heart was also a little hairy, but as the kind of person who was a clear-minded reader, he knew that he couldn't create a panic at this time, so he raised his voice and said: "The things of ghosts and gods are ethereal, and everyone is not suspicious and suspicious-" But before the words fell, he saw a hazy figure not far away with his back to everyone.

Xie Qiao's eyes widened, and he hurriedly raised the torch in his hand to take a closer look, only then did he see clearly that there was a woman in front of him wearing a hairpin dress, and the firelight also illuminated her figure on the ground.

Xie Qiao was feeling strange, the woman had noticed the bright fire behind her, she couldn't help but look back, only for a moment, it was full of beauty, Xie Qiao couldn't help but be stunned. However, when the woman saw that Xie Qiao had found her, she was shocked, and disappeared into the shadows in a blink of an eye.

Xie Qiao immediately reacted and hurriedly shouted: "That lady, please stay, we are not thieves!" ”

"Mr. Xie, where did you come from, aren't you also a hell of a lady?"

Xie Qiao said categorically: "It's not a ghost, I saw that she has a shadow, she is likely to be a woman who was captured by bandits!" Quick, let's keep up, maybe we can save more people! ”

In a wooden house deep in the backyard of Qingfeng Village, Deng Xiu'er, the women who had been kidnapped by the bandits, were hiding in it, and when they were uneasy, there was a sudden knock on the door, which frightened them into a ball.

"Isn't it the bandits who discovered us?"

"Shhhh

"Deng Xiu'er, it's me, are you in there?" A gentle female voice came from outside the door, Deng Xiu'er heard this voice, her face couldn't help but be happy, and she hurriedly responded: "Lady, I'm here!" At the same time, she lit the oil lamp, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw Zhou Hongxian's pretty face dressed up very brightly.

"Lady, you're here!"

The expression on Zhou Hongxian's face was slightly anxious: "Deng Xiu'er, I don't have much time, I'm here to tell you something!" ”

Deng Xiu'er was slightly stunned: "Lady, what's the matter, please say!" ”

"Deng Xiu'er, I have avenged you! However, I saw a lot of strangers entering the cottage, and I found out that they are probably from the Yamen of Husu County, and they should come to your rescue later! ”

When Deng Xiu'er heard the news, her face couldn't help but show joy, but she also saw the clue, so she asked, "Lady, aren't you going to go with us?" ”

Zhou Hongxian shook his head: "No! You know my details, if the people from the yamen arrive, they will definitely have to ask this and that, I can't explain it, so I'm here to say goodbye to you! ”

Deng Xiu'er was slightly silent, and suddenly her eyes moistened: "Lady, I haven't repaid your kindness yet!" ”

"No need, Deng Xiu'er, it was you who restored my freedom, you are also my benefactor, I just repay virtue with virtue!" Zhou Hong looked back behind him from time to time, and said with a slight smile: "Besides, those bandits have done a lot of evil, and if I do this, it can be regarded as fulfilling my chivalrous dream since childhood!" ”

There was already a bright light behind him, and Zhou Hongxian said anxiously: "I'm sorry, Deng Xiu'er, I can't say more, I should go!" With that, she turned slightly, and soon disappeared into the night.

In the front yard of Qingfeng Village, Cui Shen saw Xie Qiao leading people back, and couldn't help asking: "Ziping, what have you gained?" ”

Xie Qiao said: "Dong Weng, I searched the backyard and didn't find any bandits, I think they should be almost dead!" ”

Cui Shen nodded: "Although this matter is indeed too weird, it is not a bad thing for us, and we should be able to ask a thing or two when we go back and interrogate the thief who is only alive!" Do you find anything else besides the bandits? ”

"Yes! I found a merchant who claimed to be from Luoyang in a firewood room, and he also brought a servant, who was actually a Kunlun slave, I asked them some about Luoyang, and I felt that what they said was still true, and it should not be a bandit fake. In addition, I found twenty women, all of whom had been taken captive by the bandits, and they were all in a very poor situation. Also, I found ten boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, which should be stolen goods from the thieves! ”

"Well, well done! I've already had people dig a pit and bury the corpses of those bandits, so let's go back!" ”

"By the way, Dong Weng, have you ever seen a woman in a wedding dress here?"

"I haven't seen this before! Hey, if today's scene looks like a wedding banquet, it stands to reason that there must be someone among the thieves who wants to take a wife, and there should indeed be a bride! By the way, you should ask the twenty women, and the bride must be one of them! ”

"I asked them, and one of them, a woman named Deng Xiu'er, admitted that she was the bride, but I had seen the bride in a hurry before that, but I couldn't match the two of them, which made me puzzled!"

Cui Shen smiled: "You glanced at it in a hurry, maybe you lost your eyes!" Forget it, don't dwell on it, let's go down the mountain! ”

"Yes!" Xie Qiao replied, but he couldn't help but doubt himself a little in his heart: "Is it because it's too dark, I really can't see it?" ”

A pawnshop in Husu County, as it was close to closing, the shopkeeper sat lazily and took a nap.

"Shopkeeper, I want to be a thing!"

The shopkeeper was woken up by a soft female voice, and when he opened his eyes softly, he saw a young woman standing outside the small window.

"Oh, what is the lady going to be?"

"I'll be clothes!" With that, the woman slipped a package through the small window.

The shopkeeper opened the package and saw that it was a hairpin dress, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Lady, this is a wedding dress, you want to be this?" ”

"What's the matter, isn't this accepted here?"

"Not really!"

"Then the shopkeeper will make a price!"

"Well, a silk wedding dress, the workmanship is acceptable. This lady, live as five taels, die as eight taels, should you deserve it? ”

"Okay, then I'll choose to die!"

"Okay! This is your silver, lady, please go! ”

Under the gaze of the shopkeeper with a kind of profiteer's smile, Zhou Hong walked out of the pawnshop happily, she actually knew that she had been slaughtered, but she didn't bother to care, eight taels of silver was enough to ensure her expenses in the world for a while, and no matter how much silver she had, it was just a number for her. It's just that what she didn't expect was that she had just walked a few steps down the street when she was targeted by a few splashes in the shadows.

"This lady, where is this going?" When Zhou Hongxian walked to an intersection, suddenly several people flashed out and blocked her way.

Zhou Hongxian took a step back: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Hehe, lady, we just saw you come out of the pawnshop, you must have brought silver taels with you, and my brother wants to borrow a few flowers from you!"

"You're going to rob?"

"Lady, don't say it so ugly!" A few splashes approached Zhou Hongxian, and suddenly their eyes lit up: "Yo, I don't know from a distance, but when I look closely, I find that the lady is still a big beauty!" Tut-tut, this little face and this figure are much more attractive than the group of kiln sisters in the Flower Building! Hey, hey, hey, hey, you're having fun! ”

"Keep your mouth clean!"

A playful and frivolous wanted to touch Zhou Hongxian's face with her hand, but Zhou Hongxian turned around and avoided it, and her voice gradually became cold: "You provoke me like this, don't regret it!" ”

"Haha, lady, let you run away before you regret it!"

Zhou Hongxian's eyes flashed red slightly, and suddenly, a coquettish voice came from the street: "Stop!" ”

At this moment, not only a few splashes, but even Zhou Hongxian was slightly stunned, only to see a teenager not far away running like a lightning speed, and a punch hit a splashy eye, the splash screamed, and rolled on the ground in pain.

"Where did the little offspring who didn't have long eyes dare to hurt my brother?" Annoyed, the Splashy Boss tried to return the blow with his fist at the boy, but the other Splash stopped him in time and whispered to him.

So, in the blink of an eye, a few splashes ran away without a trace.

The young man was amazed, and he shouted, "What are you running, I haven't used much power yet!" Hmph, a bunch of wretched, scared away by my momentum alone, it's really boring! ”

In the end, the young man pouted helplessly, looked at Zhou Hongxian and said, "This sister, are you okay?" ”

Zhou Hongxian smiled faintly: "I'm fine, thank you little lady for rescuing!" ”

The young man's eyes were stunned: "Do you recognize me as a woman?" ”

Zhou Hongxian couldn't help but glance at her chest, nodded and smiled: "Well, recognize a little!" ”

The young man noticed something, she also looked down at her chest, and couldn't help but smile: "Next time I'll try to hide it tighter!" ”

Zhou Hongxian: "... ”

"By the way, sister, where do you live? You are so beautiful, in order to make you no longer meet bad people, I decided to send you back! ”

Zhou Hongxian couldn't help but be stunned, she was silent for a long time and said: "No need, my home is far away!" ”

The young man smiled: "How far can it be, can it not be in Husu County?" ”

"Well, it's not in the city."

The young man was shocked: "Then now that the city gates are closed, how can you go back?" ”

Zhou Hongxian's mind kept turning, and said: "Actually, I came here to join my relatives, but my relatives are long gone, so I have nowhere to go for a while, and I am preparing to find an inn to stay in!" ”

"No, sister, you are such a weak woman, how inconvenient it is to stay in the inn, how can you live in case of a mistake? Since you meet me today, then I will be a good person to the end, so let's go home with me, my family has a place for you to live! ”

How dare Zhou Hongxian agree, she hurriedly said: "No need, no need!" You and I meet in the water, I can't trouble you! ”

The young man's personality was a bit big-packed, she grabbed Zhou Hongxian's hand and said, "What kind of trouble is this?" What I, Cui Yu, have always said is the same, sister, you must come with me tonight! ”
