Chapter 14: A Song of Generosity
After confirming that the man in the cloak was not a villain, he saw the chief catcher look at the middle-aged man with a darker complexion and said respectfully.
"My lord, these three people are all from Truman."
The person in front of him is the prefect of Hangzhou, known as Zhou Xin, who is known as the 'cold face and cold iron Zhou Lian Envoy'.
Zhou Xin is just a scholar, he has never been involved in the rivers and lakes, and he has never practiced martial arts, so naturally he doesn't know that Chumen is a sect.
So, he looked at the white-haired Taoist and asked.
"What kind of sect is Truman".
Dao Chief, looking at the corpse below, said in a deep voice.
"It is a hidden sect on the rivers and lakes, specializing in assassination."
Zhou Xin's eyes were solemn and he spoke.
"What kind of grudge does this Truman have with the dog?".
He had already heard about it.
The swordsman was killed because he saved his dog.
But he knows very well that although his son has no ability, he is very kind-hearted, and he will not have a holiday with people in the rivers and lakes.
The white-haired Taoist shook his head and said.
"Brother Zhou, do you remember that a few days ago, I also found a few inexplicable hostilities wandering around us."
He thinks that the problem of this matter may no longer be with the young man, but with his father.
The man in the cloak also looked at Zhou Xin and asked calmly.
"Lord Zhou, have you ever offended the people in the court in recent days?"
Zhou Xin frowned and thought about it.
After that, he did not directly answer the other party's question, but asked rhetorically.
"I don't know why Brother Wang has this question?".
The man in the cloak smiled slightly, and said, "It's just that I have doubts." Since the father and son are honest officials and are loved by the people, why would anyone still do such assassinations?"
He said all that, and did not make it clear.
He knew that this rumored Zhou Lian envoy should be able to hear the meaning of his words.
His father, grandfather, were all people in the court.
So, he knows very well that sometimes, even if you do all good deeds, you will be persecuted.
However, in the face of his question, this Lord Zhou was silent.
However, he was only silent for a moment.
After a moment, he suddenly changed his words, stepped forward, and spoke.
"Today, thank you for saving your dog's life. It's just that I don't know what Brother Wang's plans are in the future? ”。
He saw that this man was wearing a cloak and a mouth full of scum, and he really seemed to be a man of the mountains. Therefore, he wanted to ask the other party about his future plans.
The man in the cloak smiled, seeing the other man's intentions.
"I don't have any intentions. I have been hunting in the mountains and forests of the world for several years, and I have long been accustomed to this kind of life."
He's telling the truth, he's been living like this for the past few years.
After all, he had already spent all the money on his body and had no money to eat.
Occasionally hunt a few prey, half of which is kept for yourself, and the remaining half is all exchanged for wine and drink.
Seeing this, the white-haired Taoist couldn't help but speak.
"Brother Wang's martial arts are strong and hunting in the mountains, isn't it a pity?"
The chief catcher suddenly remembered that Lord Zhou's caretaker was dead, and then looked at the look in Lord Zhou's eyes, and knew the other party's plan.
So, he smiled at the cloaked man.
"The Taoist is right. Since Brother Wang has such cultivation, why don't you choose the master? Right now, Lord Xiao Zhou is lacking a person to guard, I don't know if my brother can do it...".
The man in the cloak shook his head and said without waiting for the other party to finish.
"I can't live in the temple for a long time, so...".
However, his words were just as spoken, and the cold-faced Lord Zhou unexpectedly stepped forward, respectfully bowed his hand, and said in a deep voice.
"Brother Wang! For the sake of the official, can you agree to this? ”。
Seeing this, the man in the cloak immediately held up the other party and said.
"Lord Zhou, this can't be helped."
The person he respected most in his life was a good official who really prayed for the lives of the people.
And the person in front of him is such a good official.
Zhou Xin raised his head, looked at the other party's eyes with a solemn face, and said.
"Brother Wang! Five days later, I will go to Beijing to resume my life. But during these five days, it was really difficult to find a loyal person to protect the dogs. So, can you please Brother Wang, look at the dog first. After I return to Hangzhou, whether to go or stay will be decided by you, brother! ”。
Five days later, he was going to Jingshi. And when the time comes, Daochang Wu will also go with him all the way.
But right now, the purpose of these men in black is unknown, and he really can't leave with peace of mind.
So, if it weren't for this situation, he wouldn't have begged for help.
The man in the cloak looked embarrassed.
He knew there was no need for the other party to lie.
He also knew that during these five days, it would be very difficult to find another person who was of high cultivation and character, and who was willing to take care of him.
However, thinking that he was already involved in the incident, it seemed unrealistic to ask him to ignore the matter seriously.
In addition, the other party said that he only needed to take care of the young man for a while, and that's it.
So, after thinking about it again, he finally said something.
'Okay'
However, after thinking about it, he said again.
"But I have a request".
Zhou Xin saw that the other party had agreed, so he smiled.
"Brother Wang, please speak."
The man in the cloak turned to look at the little girl who had not spoken from beginning to end, and said calmly.
"I want Lord Zhou to arrange a place for this little girl in the mansion."
Zhou Xin was stunned for a moment, then looked at the little girl who was standing on the side, looking a little restrained.
"Brother Wang... Who is this? ”。
The man in the cloak smiled and said.
"The righteous sister below".
He didn't reveal the identity of the little girl.
For one, he found it too cumbersome to explain.
Second, he had a hunch that if he let the little girl go back to the inn, he was afraid that those people in black would have a chance.
He knew that tonight's incident would undoubtedly reveal the identity of the little girl.
Therefore, it is also convenient for him to keep these two people together.
But in fact, he still has a little bit of caution, and he wants to fulfill these two people.
After all, the identity of his righteous sister is better than that of a wanderer in the market.
Zhou Xin was also surprised when he saw that this little girl was the righteous sister of this chivalrous warrior.
"I didn't expect the dog to make friends with such a chivalrous man as the two."
The young man has been surging in his heart since he was just now, and he is really happy to think of being in the same place with the little girl.
But he knew that he needed to be calm at this time and not show his emotions.
After all, he knew that the 'righteous sister' was not true, it seemed that this Wang Daxia wanted to help him.
So, I saw that he held back the excitement in his heart and said calmly.
"Daddy! Then Brother Zhao, he....".
He is not a ruthless person, Brother Zhao has guarded him for many years, and when he was killed today, his mood is still uncomfortable.
Zhou Xin turned around, looked at the swordsman who was sleeping peacefully on the ground, and said in a deep voice.
"In the land of Yan Zhao, there are many generous and sad people. Zhao Shaoxia died for you, and you must not live up to his 'righteousness' in the future.
