Although the temple fair was bustling and full of people, the rough voice was very loud, as if a thunderclap had risen on the flat ground, so that the people who rushed to the temple fair were silent for a while.

Zhou Zhi and the other four people followed the voice and looked over, but fortunately, except for Qi Yanwu, among the four of them, they were not short, and they could see clearly over the black heads of the people.

But seeing that thirty or forty steps away, a burly strong man with a long machete in his hand was forcefully separating the crowd and squeezing in the direction of Zhou Zhi and the others.

When Zhou Zhi was a child in the countryside, he often saw fights and brawls happening in the countryside, so whenever a grand temple fair was held in the countryside in later generations, there would usually be police officers or security guards from the police station to maintain order and protect the safety of the temple fair.

It is now the Ming Dynasty, and it is obvious that the government does not have that kind of ideological understanding. Vicious incidents such as fights and brawls are naturally the most common when they occur at temple fairs. After all, there are many revenge-seeking people who don't usually meet each other, but the temple fair at this time is a rare opportunity to meet. Moreover, with so many people, it is inevitable that there will be stampedes, and those outrageous gangsters and the like will naturally have to play prestige at this time.

When encountering such a thing, it is natural to hide as far away as possible, so as not to get innocent injured and get into trouble.

So Zhou Zhi looked away after a few glances. At the same time, Li Maoyuan also said, "It seems that someone is going to fight and make trouble, so it's better for me to wait!" ”

However, at this time, there are people everywhere, how can you say that you can leave if you leave? It could only be crowded in all directions with the surging flow of people, clearing the way for the man.

Inadvertently, Zhou Zhi glanced at the man in the distance, although the man's face was not good, and he kept shouting and scolding everyone to give way, but the machete in his hand was raised high, and it did not hurt the people.

It seems that his machete is also intended to dodge the people, and this clamor is just a bluff to get people to dodge as soon as possible. In this way, although he was born with a vicious face, his heart is not necessarily too bad.

The man's leopard eyes were looking left and right, obviously looking for someone in the crowd. It may be that there are too many people, and the person he is looking for has been lost, and he is even more anxious, and he can't help but shout again, "You wait to dodge quickly, Lao Tzu is an official errand, and if you wait to block Lao Tzu, you will block the official errand from handling the case, be careful to go to prison!" ”

Zhou Zhi was stunned, is he an official? This official is too hot-tempered, right? Judging from his face, he can't tell that he is an official at all.

But Zhou Zhi then thought that maybe only officials dare to show off their might in front of the public. If it's a thief, a gangster, or something like that, it's not enough to be so bold and arrogant.

Sure enough, someone in the crowd laughed and said, "Yang Bantou, catching a thief at this temple fair, I'm afraid it's in vain!" ”

This person is obviously a bold person who is familiar with this Yang Bantou.

When Yang Bantou heard this, his face was solemn, but his tone was extremely kind, and he said, "How do you know that this time Lao Tzu caught a Jiangyang thief, and he hid among you, be careful that he wants to take you hostage and hurt you!" ”

This Yang Bantou spoke like this, which made Zhou Zhi a little interested. Obviously, this Yang Bantou is a disgusting and kind person, not to mention, his arrogant shouting just now is also to give the so-called Jiangyang thief a deterrent, so that he should not act rashly.

In this way, it seems that this Yang Bantou is still a thoughtful person.

The crowd is full of people, where will there be any big thieves? Besides, even if there is a big thief, he will not have a thief written on his face, he is no different from the people in the crowd, who will find out. This is really difficult for this Yang team.

The government caught the thief and handled the case, and it had nothing to do with him, so it was better to avoid it. Fortunately, at this time, the flow of people was hugging in one direction, and they were gradually moving away from the old mother temple.

Qi Yanwu, as Zhou Zhi's scholar and bodyguard, knew that the thief Yang Bantou said was in the crowd, so it seemed that the crowd was a dangerous place, so Qi Yanwu simply held Zhou Zhi's hand tightly, worried that he and Zhou Zhi would be scattered by the crowd.

As for Li Maoyuan and Sun Gong, they were naturally aware of the danger, and the two of them were always around.

Zhou Zhi turned his head sideways and looked in the direction of Yang Bantou, obviously the people are the people after all, most people have seen such a fierce man, and they are officials, so they naturally do everything possible to open a way for him, Yang Bantou is very close to the old mother temple at this time.

Suddenly, Zhou Zhi's heart shook slightly, and a pair of starry eyes were firmly fixed on a middle-aged woman not far from him.

There are men and women who rush to the temple fair, and women in the countryside can't compare to the city.

The middle-aged woman Zhou Zhi noticed had a green paddle and a head like many country women, with black in the pale yellow. She was mixed in with the other women, moving as hard as the surging crowd forward, and her movements were as sluggish as the others.

"Xiao Wu, squeeze over and arrest the middle-aged woman!" Zhou Zhi turned around and whispered in Qi Yanwu's ear.

Qi Yanwu followed Zhou Zhi's eyes and determined who Zhou Zhi was referring to.

Qi Yanwu was worried that Zhou Zhi would be in danger if he stayed away from Zhou Zhi, so he hesitated and whispered, "Brother, you have to be careful!" ”

Zhou Zhi nodded slightly.

Although Qi Yanwu didn't know why Zhou Zhi wanted him to arrest the woman, he never asked more. In his heart, what Zhou Zhi wants him to do is to do it resolutely. He quickly let go of Zhou Zhi's hand and slowly squeezed in the direction of the woman.

Qi Yanwu was thinner and smaller, and his movements were much more neat, and he was like a loach, and he quickly squeezed to the woman's side.

The woman was trying to squeeze out of the crowd at this time, and naturally Qi Yanwu didn't notice it at all.

Qi Yanwu suddenly erupted, and grabbed the woman's two arms cleanly. At the same time, Qi Yanwu was very surprised, and said secretly, my brother really has good eyesight, and this woman is really different. But how come I didn't see anything wrong beforehand?

The woman's arms were very strong, obviously not small, and at the moment when Qi Yanwu just grabbed her arm, the woman leaned forward and shook her body violently, trying to break free from Qi Yanwu.

But after all, the woman was caught off guard, and at this time, the surroundings were crowded with people, and it was difficult to move, and her arms were quickly twisted behind Qi Yanwu's back. Then Qi Yanwu exerted his strength again, dislocating her arms in an instant. The woman's face turned pale and she lost the strength to struggle.

"Brother, I've got her!" Qi Yanwu shouted loudly.

Zhou Zhi's starry eyes narrowed slightly, and shouted to the man behind him, "Lord Guancha, come here, the thief you said has been arrested!" ”

A woman is a thief! The crowd was in an uproar and dodged in all directions.

At the same time, a handsome woman in the crowd secretly stamped her feet, regretting it.
