The light rain was dripping, Huo Xin stood by the carriage to greet Su Wuming, Su Wuming lifted the curtain, and then walked down, and said, "Lord Huo is not polite, why don't we walk together?" ”

Huo Xin nodded again and again, and then ordered someone to bring the umbrella to Su Wuming, and after Su Wuming took the umbrella, he said to Huo Xin: "Let's go around casually, you can send someone to arrange accommodation for these guards and their families first."

Huo Xin responded again and again, and then sent someone to Nangong Yan to arrange their accommodation.

Because there were a lot of guards, the post house could not live, so those officials set up tents around the post house, although there were some prisoners in the rain, but it was not so that those people had no place to live.

And just when the officials were arranging a place for the guards and Nangong Yan to live, Su Wuming, Tang Xiong and Huo Xin were strolling through the streets with light rain.

At this time, there are not many pedestrians on the streets, and the prosperity here is far from being compared with the Central Plains, and the houses here are also all kinds of strange, and the reason why Su Wuming wants to look everywhere is that in addition to wanting to know some customs, there are also some things he wants to tell Huo Xin.

"Master Huo, on the way I came, I met a group of bandits!" While walking in the rain, Su Wuming suddenly said such a sentence.

"There are almost hundreds of bandits in that gang, and they are very rampant in that area!"

After speaking, Huo Xin's forehead couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, he grew his mouth, and only after a long time did he speak: "Su ...... Is Lord Su okay? ”

"The official is fine, but the guards have been injured a lot, and the range of action of that group of bandits is around Bazhong County, so Lord Huo didn't think about killing them?" When he said this, Su Wuming's tone had faintly become much colder.

Huo Xin wiped his sweat from his sleeves and looked a little flustered: "That...... The officials of the bandits knew about it, and they had always wanted to clean it up, but ...... But the lower officials are really powerless, and the lower officials' government officials are more than 30 officials who are quick to arrest, and they can't fight them at all, and they want to call the militia to fight them, but the people are unwilling to take risks, so ...... So no action was taken. ”

Huo Xin didn't have any intention of concealing it, after Su Wuming listened, he nodded slightly: "Lord Huo's situation is like this, the official can also understand, now that most of the bandits have been wiped out by the official, only a few have absconded, in order to avoid their resurgence, Lord Huo must be prepared, by the way, a few months ago, Du Ru was ordered to go to Sichuan to serve as an envoy, has he ever come to you again?" ”

Huo Xin nodded: "Lord Du has been here in Xiaguan, it was getting late, and Lord Du still stayed here for a night, but ...... It's just that I heard that Lord Du disappeared before he took office, but Lord Su came to investigate the matter? ”

"Sort of, what clues does Lord Huo have to offer?"

Huo Xin hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head: "This little one doesn't know, when Lord Du came to my Bazhong County, there was nothing abnormal. ”

I don't know when it started, the rain was a little crazier, and several corners of Su Wuming's clothes were wet by the rain, Huo Xin saw this, and hurriedly said: "Master Su, the more urgent the wind and rain, why don't we go back first?" The lower official has ordered someone to prepare wine and food in the government office to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Lord Su. ”

Su Wuming has always had no objection to eating, and he doesn't think it means any bribe, so Su Wuming nodded and agreed.

The group entered the county government, and the wine and food were immediately served up by the subordinates, not very good, not very bad, most of them are some dishes unique to Sichuan, I want to come to this Huo Xin is a good inquiry, knowing that Su Wuming is not greedy, so the food is just moderate, and these dishes are Sichuan and Shu specialties, and there is no intention of bribery, but to invite colleagues to taste the unique hometown dishes.

Of course, Su Wuming is no stranger to these dishes on Huo Xin's orders, after all, in later generations, the world's meals are gathered together, and if you want to eat Sichuan cuisine, you can go directly to the Sichuan restaurant.

However, at this time, Datang is afraid that it will not be able to be realized, even if some Sichuan chefs leave Sichuan, it has not reached the point of promotion like later generations.

The food was light and delicious, and it was not spicy like the dishes of later generations, and Su Wuming naturally knew the reason, now that chili peppers have not yet been transmitted to China, people in the Tang Dynasty could not eat chili peppers, and many of them were replaced by peppers.

However, pepper is generally very expensive, and ordinary people can't afford to eat it.

After eating, Huo Xin said to Su Wuming: "There are still a few vacant rooms in the county office, if Lord Su doesn't dislike it, why don't you live in the county office temporarily?" ”

Su Wuming thought for a while and shook his head: "No, let's live in the post house, if there is anything, I will inform Lord Huo." ”

After saying this, Su Wuming and Tang Xiong got up to say goodbye, and Huo Xin hurriedly ordered someone to lead Su Wuming in front of him and go to the post house.

The night was getting darker, and at this time, in Bazhong City, a person stood under the eaves and waited for someone, he didn't wait long, and then several black-clothed people suddenly rushed in from the outside, and after these people rushed in, they immediately knelt in the rain and said, "Hall Master, what do you command?" ”

The man standing under the eaves was burly, with a mask on his face, and said, "Received an order from the master to kill Su Wuming." ”

The black-clothed body trembled slightly, but they were not afraid, but excited, they were already living a bloody life, for them, life was to keep killing, killing more people, killing more famous people.

It is undeniable that Su Wuming is a famous person, he judges cases like a god, he is the first genius in the Tang Dynasty, if he can be killed, it is definitely something worth showing off for these people.

"Please rest assured, we will complete the task."

The person who was called the hall master frowned for me and said, "Don't be careless, that Su Wuming is definitely not as simple as you think, okay, go ahead!" ”

The man in black received the order and quickly disappeared into the night.

Wind and rain as usual, after Su Wuming returned to the post house, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, the land of Bashu was full of dangers, from the time he decided to come, he had already realized that there would be a festival to make him disappear for no reason, it was too weird, this kind of thing, throughout the entire Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that it will also happen for the first time.

And people like Su Wuming naturally don't think that Du Ru's disappearance is something he wants to disappear, among them, there must be other people's hands and feet, but who are the others?

In the land of Bashu, there are many plank roads, if there is that person who is not subordinate, it is absolutely possible to form a small court in this place, could it be that Du Ru discovered the conspiracy of those people, so he disappeared?

In the whole of Bashu, are there many people who can have this kind of strength?

You have to be cautious and careful, Su Wuming thought of this, so he took an umbrella out of the room, and the guards who came came to tell them something, and then found Jiang Ying Linyun and asked them to pay more attention.

Su Wuming didn't call Tang Xiong, because as soon as Tang Xiong fell asleep, his vigilance would be lowered a lot, and if he wanted to rely on him to protect himself, he was afraid that it was unlikely.

The night was getting deeper, the wind and rain were more urgent, the weather became very cool, and Su Wuming soon fell asleep.

And at this time, several black-clothed people suddenly rushed into the post house, these black-clothed people were very good at kung fu, and they didn't make a sound when they rushed in, after they sneaked into the post house, they approached directly to the room where Su Wuming was, which they had already inquired about.

But at this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the corridor: "What person? There are assassins! ”

After a loud shout, the other people in the post house immediately rushed over and surrounded the black-clothed people, Jiang Ying Linyun because of Su Wuming's orders, so he didn't dare to sleep too much, after hearing the loud shout, he also hurriedly rushed out, after they rushed out, they found that the shouting just now turned out to be shouted by Nangong Yan, and in the courtyard of the post house, several black-clothed people were surrounded by other guards.

Su Wuming walked out of the house, his clothes dancing in the wind, he glared at the few people in the courtyard, and said coldly: "Take it!" ”

There were many guards, and there were many martial arts skills, and after Su Wuming said that, they immediately took action.

Although the martial arts of the man in black were good, in the face of so many guards, they were still invincible after all, and when they found out that they couldn't escape and couldn't kill Su Wuming, they felt that their guarantee in front of the hall master was so pale and powerless.

The men in black glanced at each other, and then fought again, they were all killers, they were not afraid of death, and before they died, they needed to find someone to back their backs.

Blood splattered in the inn, and many of the men in black were no longer able to fight, and when they were unable to fight again, they chose to die.

Blood flowed down from the tip of the knife, and soon there was no trace of it being washed away by the rain, and there was anger in Su Wuming's eyes, he didn't expect that someone would want to assassinate him, and these people would be so desperate.

Originally, he wanted to catch one or two inquiries, but now he can't.

Jiang Ying counted the number of people, there were nine people in black, all of them died, and they killed four people and injured six people, which can be regarded as a heavy loss.

After listening to Jiang Ying's report, Su Wuming nodded, and then ordered someone to examine the body of the man in black to see if he could find some clues, and the bones of those guards were disposed of, and they were sent back to their hometown when they returned to Beijing.

Jiang Ying went to inspect the corpses, and at this time, Su Wuming walked towards Nangong Yin and said, "That's it, thank you Lord Nangong." ”

Nangong Yin was not afraid of Su Wuming, even if Su Wuming was now his top boss, he snorted coldly: "I'm just convenient at night, and I happened to meet it, so I don't deserve your Lord Su's thanks." ”

Su Wuming smiled, he still knew Nangong Yin very well, so he didn't argue with him anymore, only said: "In that case, I'll let Nangong Yan personally thank you tomorrow." ”
