Chapter 219: A Strange Crowd
The afterglow of the setting sun reflected the sky, bringing a slightly bleak yellow, adding a bit of loneliness.
Two baskets of fish baskets were fished up from the river by the attendants, and suddenly there was a sound of the fish baskets being struck. Inside the basket, the fish jumped out of the freedom of the river, and suddenly felt the danger of death, and threw themselves around in the basket, hoping to escape from this cage and jump into the sea.
But it was all in vain, and as the baskets were hung on their horses, and the horses galloped, they could never return to the familiar river.
More than ten horses traveled slowly, it was not early, and the road in Shu was rugged, and if you didn't pay attention to it, it was not beautiful if you had an accident. The mountain breeze was blowing, a cold air hit, and there seemed to be a rapid sound of horses' hooves in front, and I saw about seven or eight people, who looked like nearby rangers, looking hurried on their way.
They were all dressed in brocade clothes, and each of them rode horses, and two of them seemed to have something covered in a cloth bag, which looked unsinkable, but they were very large, and there were two people sitting on one horse. One was riding a horse, and the other was leaning behind the man who was driving the horse, his face could not be seen clearly, he seemed to be unconscious, and his body was wrapped in coarse cloth, and there was faint red blood leaking out, as if he was seriously injured.
The road in Shu is not wide and narrow, and there are too many people to accommodate one team, so how can they let two teams cross together? This can only be relieved if one side gives way and gives way to the other side first, and the party that originally started to give way to go back.
At this time, the other side seemed to be in a hurry to leave, and hurriedly wanted to let Fuquan's side retreat and let them leave first, but his words were very low-key and respectful, obviously not wanting to cause trouble in vain, and there was no arrogant tone of the arrogant person ordering others to give way.
"Ming Gong, are these people weird?" Guan Yu, who was beside him, restrained the horse and whispered to Fu Quan.
"En", Fu Quan replied with his head bowed, and then did not speak, but observed this group of people, they were really very suspicious.
But if you pay a little attention, you will find that these people are low-key and cautious in their tones, they seem to be casually putting their hands on the blades, others can't see it, but like Fu Quan and Guan Yu, these are people who have experienced the washing of the battlefield, and the way they touch the weapon can be seen through at a glance, and then there is the person who is bandaged with coarse cloth soaked in blood, and it looks like a ranger evil boy who has committed a crime.
However, I thought that these people were all idle rangers who might have committed crimes recently, but among these people, there was a teenager about ten years old. And these people deliberately surround this young man, it seems that they are not rangers, they are all the same as the young man's guards, it is very puzzling, after all, rangers are naturally aggressive, no one obeys anyone, and several young people among these people are obedient to the general horn boy, this will not be the way of the ranger.
The people in front were still negotiating, and Fuquan's entourage were all from the county office, because they had not been in Jiangzhou for a long time, and many road conditions were still unfamiliar, so they naturally went out and brought more local officials. As for his own safety, with the two fierce generals Guan Yu and Huang Zhong, and the experienced soldiers, unless they encounter gang thieves, they are worry-free.
These county officials are born with a kind of arrogance, in their opinion, these rangers should make way for them in the government, if they give way, they will lose their worth and lose face. Moreover, Fu Quan, who had been observing these rangers on the other side at this time, did not make a sound to stop them, and the silence of the county guard was equivalent to making them not have to give way, so no matter what the other side said, they just didn't let go.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's give way, please leave quickly, we have urgent matters, don't delay." Finally, the group on the other side made a compromise, and a young man with a long sword in his hand clenched his fists and shouted. Fu Quan saw that they seemed to have been approved by the young man, and then they gave a reply, could it be that this young man is really the leader of these people?
The officials of the county office who got the reply naturally did not dare to be arbitrary, and hurriedly turned around and waited for Fu Quan's instructions, only to see that Fu Quan did not reply to them, but asked the young man among them: "I don't know who Lang Jun is?" Can you tell us? ”
Everyone on the other side was full of surprise after hearing this, except for the young man's strange face, only to hear him smile and say: "Brother forgive me, Yu Bo's name is Ninggan, it's getting late, the Yu family was seriously injured in the fight, and they urgently need to recuperate. ”
Fu Quan nodded after hearing this, but he still had questions in his heart, so he continued to ask: "This place is the closest to the county seat of Jiangzhou, and the county has its own doctors to treat it, why does Lang Jun go far and not treat the county?" He didn't ask the man why he was fighting, and he probably wouldn't get an answer if he asked, after all, private fights in the Han Dynasty were very common, mostly influenced by the revenge of the Spring and Autumn Period, and if he violated other people's taboos in the quarrel, it was possible for the other party to fight to the death, and it was normal to be injured, and the unconscious people in the Ninggan team were only slightly injured at best.
Ning Gan replied: "There is a doctor outside the city, the medical skills are superb, and there are many in the county, so we are just looking for that doctor when we go out of the city." As the words spoke, there seemed to be a killing intent in the eyes of the young man Ning Gan, who was different from his age, as if he was going to fight if he didn't agree, such a killing intent appeared in the eyes of this young man, it was really a little terrifying, I don't know what kind of character this young man is.
This answer made Fu Quan undeniable, and then asked whether what the Peng official Nan Ninggan said was true, and the answer was that there was indeed a doctor with extraordinary skills outside Jiangzhou City, Fu Quan thought about it, and under the urging of Nan Ninggan, he ordered his subordinates to leave quickly, so that this group of people could find a doctor.
The two groups of people gradually moved away, looking at the figures of Fu Quan and the others who were far away, and the people in Ning Gan and his party were relieved.
A young man who looked at the young man who was just over twenty years old said to Ning Gan at this time: "Qu Shuai, this group of people is not ordinary. ”
"En", Ning Gan replied: "That's true, otherwise I would have drawn my sword." Don't mention this matter, leave quickly, I can't say that the government got the news, send troops to chase after it, tie up the famous doctor outside the city, and return to Linjiang County together. ”
"No!"
Not long after, after tying up a middle-aged doctor in a village outside the city, the group went straight to the Yangtze River, where several light boats were waiting for them.
When Fu Quan and the others returned to the official office, Cao Pengshi, a thief who was sent to solve the case during the day, cried to himself with a slight injury, and the thief who had been caught with hard work and had been surrounded by conscripts suddenly called a few men in brocade clothes to rob him.
Fu Quan, who learned more about what happened, was shocked, although the soldiers under this thief Cao Pengshi were not elite soldiers on the battlefield, but they were themselves arresting thieves, and they still had some force, and there were dozens of people, how could they be defeated by a few people, and let him not slip away calmly, this is too unbelievable, right?
It wasn't until Fu Quan heard the thief Cao Pengshi say that the other party was likely to be a brocade thief from Linjiang, that a trace of enlightenment appeared in Fu Quan's mind, wouldn't it, so coincidental?
