Chapter 31: The Storm Settles

Night......

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was no light in the sky, and a black shadow suddenly flashed on the street. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the back door of Ximenqing's house, there were suddenly a few faint knocks, and the black shadow couldn't stop looking behind him, as if he was worried that someone would follow him, Mo Yo waited for a few breaths, and when he saw that no one came, he was quite anxious in his heart, and wanted to shout loudly, but he was afraid of alarming others.

I was about to leave, but after a few steps, I turned around and came back, leaning my ear against the door, and there was a slight sound in Jixi, "Didn't you oversleep?" The dark shadow muttered to himself.

Suddenly, the dark shadow looked happy, and there was a noise in the courtyard, followed by the sound of a 'squeak' opening the door, and then a figure appeared in the door. "Why did you come?" The figure seemed to complain.

"Shen Zhong is staring closely, and I dare to get out when he is asleep." The dark shadow looked behind him and flashed through the door.

This black shadow is none other than Shen Zhong's henchman Xu Bo, this guy is a lustful one, he saw Shen Zhong's lady being romantic, and he thought about it for a long time. Shen Zhong's house is either drunk or beaten every day, or stays in Huaxiang to hook the fence, the Shen family lady has long been impatient, and she is not a good person, Xu Bo pretended to hook up a few times, she entered the alley, and every day when Shen Zhong went out to gamble money, she made a letter and called Xu Bo to mess around.

Shen Zhong was beaten by Ximen Qing that day, went out to move the rescuers, the two got a gap, about a good battle in the Jade Emperor Temple, but I didn't want to be seen by the Taoist boy who went to the incense, and then it was worn into Ximen Qing's ears, and was pinched by the handle, seeing that the matter was revealed, the two of them couldn't help but feel uneasy, this matter should be known to Shen Zhong, his two lives were at stake, Ximen Qing and pretended to recruit, this pair of adulterers ** secretly took refuge under Ximen's door. Today he was bullied by Shen Zhong, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, he just wanted to end this guy's life early, so that he could fly with that lady.

"Where is Brother Simon, I have something urgent to talk about."

"Who is your brother, Hugh is going to stain the name of my master, it's all this hour, my master has already fallen asleep, you wait." Second Uncle Liu, who opened the door, glared at him and said, although this guy defected to Ximenqing's door, what he looked down on the most was this betrayal, and he also hooked up with the wives of other families, if it wasn't for him to be useful, he would have to spit on it.

Xu Bo was helpless, so he could only nod, sit restless in the house, and look out of the door from time to time.

After half a pillar of incense, Ximen Qing showed his face, "Xu Jialang, what's the matter at such a late hour?" ”

Xu Bobai fell to the ground: "Brother, I have something important to report." ”

"Get up and speak, why is there a new wound on this forehead?" Ximen Qing helped him up and asked deliberately.

"It's not that Shen Zhong's gang is evil, don't mention it, I came to tell my brother that Shen Zhong's guy invited a few thieves back outside, and wanted to harm his brother's life, and his brother knew about it, so he came to tell him, my brother should be prepared early, don't be hurt by that guy."

"Do you think of one with me?" Ximen Qing said a word in his heart and asked, "Second Uncle Liu's wound medicine came, do you know who he invited?" What is the name of the rivers and lakes? ”

"I don't know the other two, I only know what the Taoist headed by is called the flying centipede, the common family surname is Wang, I don't know the name, I am good at using a pair of swords, and I will play with it, dozens of people can't get close, of course, if it's in front of my brother, it's not worth mentioning."

Ximenqing nodded, ignoring the flattery. Flying centipedes? There seems to be such a character in the Water Margin, after thinking about it carefully, my heart moved, isn't that the guy in the original Water Margin, Wu Song's blood splashed on the Mandarin Duck Tower, when the walker walked Centipede Ridge at night, he met this guy in the Centipede Ridge Tomb, hypothetically looking at feng shui, but it harmed the whole family, tied up other women's women for fun, and was met by the second brother Wu, a thief bird who was stabbed?

Hey, I don't want to be here now, if it turns out to him, there will be one less public case in the future.

"Do they say when they want to end me?"

"It's not true, it's just a pretext to look at the feng shui at home, waiting for an opportunity. The flying centipede only took a hundred taels of silver, saying that if the matter was completed, Shen Zhong would pay another two hundred taels. ”

Ximen Qing sneered: "This guy is generous!" What I told you to do, how did you do? ”

"Brother, don't worry, I have prepared everything properly, the account books of the guy who sold the illegal salt in the past are here, and the private salt hidden in the house, I also read it carefully, just wait for my brother's order, and then go to the yamen to report the head, but the public servants in the county are all good friends with him, my brother should be careful, don't let that guy have any repetitions."

"You don't need to say this, I've already dotted up and down." Ximenqing took the account book in his hand and took a cursory look at it. "Early tomorrow morning, you will go to the yamen to complain, and don't pay attention to the rest, I will take care of myself."

"Thank you brother for eliminating harm for the people, if you can end up with that guy's life, half of the furniture he hides at home, I will give it all to my brother as a gift." Xu Bo has already offended Shen Zhong to death, if he doesn't talk about Shen Zhong's life this time, if Shen Zhong is free, the first person he wants to kill will be him, he can't help but be ruthless, and he will lose some money and Shen Zhong's life.

Ximenqing nodded: "Everything is my end, you just have to do it." ”

Xu Bo nodded yes, he didn't need the medicine for the injury, and he gave it up.

"Master, this thing is a treacherous, it's better to be careful, who knows what he has in mind." Second Uncle Liu said.

"Don't worry, I've already asked Ju An to call someone to keep an eye on him, and besides, he doesn't dare to repeat, if Shen Zhong knows what he did, his life will be gone."

…………

In the early morning of the next day, Shen Zhong was hungover, and suddenly heard a noise outside the door.

"Who dare to come here to make a noise, don't you want to die?" Shen Zhong scolded and was about to get up, but found that he was trapped on the bed and couldn't move.

"Straight lady thief, what dare you harm me, Xu Bo...... Where are you? Do you want to eat my fist? ”

"What are you calling, thief? Your life is at stake today! Xu Bo's face was hideous, and he heard him call his name and show his origin. Last night, he returned to Shen Zhong's house and discussed with the woman for a night, afraid that he would wake up and learn that he was accused, and he was going to kill someone, so he took advantage of his sleep and tied up the matter.

"Xu Bo, your mother, you dare to tie me? Who gave you the leopard gall? Shen Zhong's eyes widened, he roared angrily, and struggled all over, as if he was about to break the rope on his body.

Xu Bo stepped forward and pulled him to the ground: "Are you still arrogant?" Look who's outside the door? As soon as the words fell, I could only hear the shouts of the front door and the back door, and one or twenty men rushed in.

"Li Dutou, you came just in time, this guy is treacherous, hooked up with a slut, and wants to kill my life, please call the shots." Shen Zhong shouted.

Li Dutou sneered: "You don't want to be a scoundrel, it was he and your lady who sued you for selling illicit salt, and didn't follow me to the yamen?" ”

"You ......" Shen Zhong reacted at this time, "What an adulterer*** dares to murder me." ”

Xu Bo pursed his lips on the side and said, "You don't want to make noise, if not, ask the officials to search it, hehe." ”

Shen Zhong heard the evil roar and struggled to pounce, but was knocked to the ground by the public.

Li Dutou waved his hand, and then asked his subordinates to search the house, they do this like this, and their favorite thing on weekdays is to copy the house, at this time, the most oil and water, that is, the county minister knows that there will not be much.

Shen Zhong has long been famous, good family assets, at this time, there is an opportunity, who doesn't get his hands on it.

For a while, everyone rushed forward, and soon under the leadership of Xu Bo, they found the cellar where the private salt was hidden.

Li Dutou said: "People get stolen goods, what else do you have to deny." ”

Shen Zhong said viciously: "Bah, do I give you less filial piety on weekdays?" How dare you murder me, if you go to court, I will bite you out. ”

Li Dutou frowned, his subordinates were public, and it was a good beating to pick up the water and fire sticks, and he beat his mouth to rotten, and he didn't save a few teeth before stopping.

"Li Dutou, Shen Zhong still has a few comrades who sell illicit salt, hiding in an inn, I'll take you to get people's ......," Xu Bo said, he now wants to eliminate evil more than Ximenqing, so as not to have any more troubles.

………………

"Master, I'm going to catch that Shen Zhong today, why don't we go and take a look?" Second Uncle Liu asked.

"What is there to see, getting rid of that guy is what everyone expects, I have one less opponent, one less bully in the county, a little more oil and water in the public service, the county has benefits and achievements, that is, his wife and brothers, and they also have their own income, so many people are looking forward to his death, do you think he can still turn over? I'm afraid that he won't survive for a few days in the county government, so I asked the Huo family brothers, but it was just an extra layer of precaution. ”

"The few thieves invited by Shen Zhong."

"What is it worth to be a mere thief? Besides, Shen Zhong's life is on the verge of death, how can they still have the heart to come to me for trouble again. ”
