When passing by the caravan in front, Wang An saw the silk on the car parked on the side of the road, turned over and dismounted, walked over and asked, "Where is this brocade?" A thin black man stood up and saluted, "This is Shu brocade." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Wang An looked at the direction and asked, "Ready to be shipped to Chang'an?" ”

"No".

"The lady in the next is very fond of Shu Jin, and she has long been going to buy it for her, and it is also fateful to meet here, how about asking the lady to come down and pick it up?" Without waiting for the man to answer, Wang An patted the carriage, "Madame, please come down and pick a few." ”

The girl in men's clothes got off the carriage angrily, and when she saw Shu Jin, her eyes immediately lit up and trotted over, Wang An heard a sound of swallowing saliva, and said in her heart, these men are still rare beauties.

The girl just wanted to touch it, but the thin black man said: "This is not for sale, this is not for sale, this is for the nobles of Chang'an." The girl immediately ran back to the carriage angrily, Wang An took out a gold cake and threw it to the thin black man, and said loudly: "Do it!" Ten crossbow arrows shot at the other party, and before the other party could react, the second batch of crossbow arrows arrived again, and when the other party drew his sword and was about to fight back, Wei Xuan and they raised their strong crossbows again. The third batch of crossbow arrows was shot, and there were few of the other party still alive, Wei Xuan and they only then raised their knives and gave the knife to the middle arrow, and those who dared to resist were killed, and in the end there were only three alive on the other side, including the thin black man.

Wei Xuan tied him up and threw him in front of Wang An, who asked Wei Xuan to take the two down for interrogation separately. The thin black man shouted for mercy, and Wang An said: "It's impossible to spare your life, I can only give you a good time." If you are a serious businessman, we are killing people and extorting goods, which is a capital crime; If you are a bandit, it is also a capital offense to think about how you treat others. In short, you have to think about how to die. Wang An called Xu Lai and the little fat man over and asked them to interrogate, while he ran to the side to vomit for a while.

This is the first time Wang An has seen murder, Wang An still thought how strong he was, and finally lost to reality. A handkerchief was handed to Wang An, Wang An took it and wiped his mouth, only to find out that it was a boy and a girl, seeing that Wang An wanted to return the handkerchief, the girl waved her hand and said that she didn't want it. The girl asked, "How do you know that they are bandits?" Wang An said: "I guessed." You are ox carts, they go slowly, they are horse-drawn carriages, they go fast, but there are no caravans that overtake us along the way, so they must be on the official road halfway. I suspect they're prepared to flank back and forth. The girl shook her head, "I don't understand." "If you don't understand, learn to learn "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic"

Wang An returned and asked Xu Lai and Kong Xun: "Have you confessed?" The two shook their heads. Asked Wei Xuan, Wei Xuan replied that the two were from a nearby cottage, and the thin black man was their leader, and they had been staying here a few days ago, waiting for the convoy to transport salt, but they didn't expect to wait for the crossbow arrows.

"Go and report to the police." Wang An didn't plan to get involved in the girl's affairs, now was not the time for many events.

Xu Lai found Wang An and asked him to wait to report to the official, the girl had something to tell him.

Seeing Wang An, the girl saluted: "The little girl's surname is Yuan, and her family lives near Chang'anmen." These private salts were entrusted by the nobles of Chang'an to escort their brothers to Chang'an, but unfortunately the brothers were injured and had to come out to do things as a last resort, but there were still ten days before the deadline required by the nobles, and the little woman still needed to rush to Chang'an as soon as possible, and asked Lang Jun to wait for me to leave before reporting to the government. ”

Wang An asked, "Who are the nobles of Chang'an you are talking about?" ”

"Chengdu Hou"

Wang Anxin said, the eighth uncle is so short of money that he wants to sell illegal salt? But if you think about it carefully, Chengdu Hou Wangyi likes horse racing, dog fighting, and likes to collect weapons, which one is not a money-burning activity, but the queen mother asked the Wang family to donate the income of the fief to help the people, the Wang family is still suppressed by the emperor, how can there be any money? So earn some pocket money.

"I'll help you write a letter to Chengdu Hou, if you miss the time, take it out to see if it's useful, and burn it if you arrive early."

The woman was very happy: "Do you know Chengdu Hou?" ”

"My father is familiar with him, and I haven't seen him yet." Wang An wrote the envelope and handed it to the other party, "If the Hou of Chengdu asks, he will say that the rescue on the road is delayed." ”

After the woman's convoy left, Wang An said to Wei Xuan: "Go and report to the official." Then he ordered the three men to be killed as well.

After a long time, a team of people came over, and Wang An hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Under Wang An, I have seen you." One of them said: "I am Cao Peng, the thief of Shangluo, and I am the official you sent someone to report?" ”

Wang An nodded yes. Then present the official document issued by the Nanyang Taishou Mansion and the document proving the identity to the other party.

The person who came flipped through the documents: "You are a scholar who went to Chang'an to take the exam." ”

Wang An nodded yes.

"Xinduhou is your lord?"

"Exactly".

The official shouted to his subordinates: "Okay, no need to check, the matter is clear." The gangsters pretended to be caravans and attempted to murder passers-by, but they were killed instead of killing. Pull all the corpses and stolen goods to the county office, and put up their portraits so that people can identify whether there are any wanted criminals. ”

After the other party finished speaking, he turned around and said to Wang An: "I also asked my uncle and grandson to go through the formalities at the county office, so that the case can be closed." The official's surname is Zhuang, and he was an official under Da Sima. ”

Da Sima? Oh, it's Wang Mang. Wang An hurriedly saluted the other party: "Is it okay to do this?" ”

Zhuang thief Cao said: "It is not uncommon for people to kill people and sell goods on this official road, everyone is not surprised, and if the uncle and grandson can kill the thieves, it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people." ”

As a result, the county only looked at the documents of Zhuang Thief Cao, signed and closed the case, reported to Hongnong Taishou, and no longer asked about the matter. Wang An felt strange, Zhuang Facao told him that the county was going to be transferred, and he had obtained this position through the Marquis of Kong Township, and now someone had squeezed him down through Dong Xian.

Zhuang Facao set up a banquet to entertain Wang An and his party, Wang An only then knew that Zhuang Facao was promoted and appointed by Wang Mang, and before Wang Mang left Beijing, he was transferred to Shangluo County as Fa Cao Peng, and saw that the county was changed in less than four years, and he felt that the new capital Hou had a long-term view. In the end, it was the little fat man who paid the bill, and Kong Xun wanted to taste the taste of his brother being wronged.

Due to the case, everyone was delayed for a few days, and only after the palindrome from the Taishou Mansion arrived, they were able to leave. After Shangyu, they entered the jurisdiction of Jing Zhaoyin, and everyone decided to rest in Lantian for one day, and the next day along Duling to Chang'an.

Chengdu Hou Mansion, Chengdu Hou Wangyi looked at the letter written by Wang An, and said in his heart: "This kid, is he soft-hearted when he sees a beautiful woman, and he actually wrote to her to intercede, forget it, for the sake of him calling me uncle, spare her this time." ”

Wang Yi said to his subordinates: "Go and tell Yuan Yatou that someone interceded for her, and Ben Hou let her go this time." ”
