Chapter 33 Exploitation
Swords, swords, shadows, hidden weapons, these things can be said to greatly satisfy the curiosity of the people watching on Mingshun Avenue, if there is still a little flaw, then I am afraid that there is no blood yet.
Qi Haobo was besieged by the six monsters in southern Sichuan, but he broke open the tea shop in a chic manner and drifted away, wearing white clothes and charming peach blossom eyes, which is destined to become the best conversation for the people of Shuzhou City after tea and dinner for a period of time.
Qi Haobo is gone, but this is not over yet, because Qi Haobo threw a snow lotus bead to the beautiful Taoist priest standing on the donkey cart. But now that the snow lotus bead has turned into a sugar gourd, the three hunchbacked old men who left behind don't seem to intend to let the Taoist priest go like this.
Before the excitement is finished, the crowd will naturally not disperse, and Xu Mingyuan and Zeng Qingyi are standing on the wheel of the donkey cart, which is even more eye-catching, even people who are standing a little farther away can see it.
People were amazed by Zeng Qingyi's beauty, and naturally they didn't have much affection for Xu Mingyuan, who was standing on the wheel with Zeng Qingyi, and for a while there were words of schadenfreude.
Naturally, there were many academy students in the crowd, and they were mostly dissatisfied with Xu Mingyuan, the shabby Taoist priest who fought with all the students yesterday and won the first place in the debate over Wang Ziqi and Zheng Zhi and others. And when he saw Xu Mingyuan and Zeng Qingyi riding in the same car, he was even more jealous, and he wished that the six monsters in southern Sichuan would clean up Xu Mingyuan.
From eating melon seeds on the side of the road to watching the play to the protagonist in the limelight, Xu Mingyuan didn't think this was something to be happy about. Qi Haobo caused trouble to the east, and successfully let the six monsters in southern Sichuan leave three people, with his light skills, he should be able to leave in style.
But Xu Mingyuan can't do it, not to mention that the donkey cart is surrounded by the crowd, even if he abandons the car and runs away, with his light skills used to go down the mountain and be so-so, he doesn't have to think about it to know that he can't run far.
Since he can't run away, the three weirdos in front of him always have to deal with it well. These three people are all old rivers and lakes, and they dare to kill people with knives on the street, but they are not easy to fool.
Xu Mingyuan glanced at the thin young man, his pupils shrank, his fingers moved, and finally he held back, turned to look at the hunchbacked old man, pinched the sugar gourd with two fingers and said with a wry smile: "This hero is laughing, Xiaosheng is just a student of the Academy, how dare he make a mistake in front of all the heroes." Just now, the thief robbed you of the Snow Lotus Pearl, and he used this sugar gourd to frame me, which can be described as extremely sinister. ”
Xu Mingyuan paused, then raised the sugar gourd in his hand and continued to the onlookers: "Fathers and fellow villagers, after everyone saw me catch this bead, my right hand has never moved, and when I let go of my hand, there is only this sugar gourd, how can I ever play a trick, you have to testify for me, don't we have even a clear-eyed person in Shuzhou City?" ”
After Xu Mingyuan finished speaking, there was another uproar in the audience. Although many of the students of the academy were dissatisfied with Xu Mingyuan, the ordinary people still had a heartfelt pride and admiration for Chongzhou Academy.
Therefore, Xu Mingyuan said that he was a student of the academy, and the onlookers didn't have to think much about it to stand on his side, and soon someone responded: "That is, this little brother hasn't moved since he caught the bead. ”
"That is, Chongzhou Academy is a holy place for our Shuzhou scholars, and the students of the academy are familiar with the books of sages, so how can they deceive everyone for the sake of a mere snow lotus bead." A middle-aged scholar raised his arms and said.
"That's it, it's ......" echoed for a while. Xu Mingyuan only used one sentence to make most of the onlookers stand on his side.
For Qi Haobo, it didn't matter whether the onlookers were on his side or not, because the onlookers couldn't help him much, and it was impossible to say anything more for someone like him who had never known him.
But Xu Mingyuan is different, he grew up in Shuzhou City since he was a child, and some of the people who spoke out in the audience also spoke out because they recognized him.
Dawan is still martial, although the people of the rivers and lakes are powerful, but in many places, ordinary people are not very afraid of the people of the rivers and lakes. Because the law of Dawan clearly stipulates that if a person who practices martial arts dares to harm ordinary people at will, he will be dealt with severely.
This is not a law on paper, when the famous young master of the Cangheng faction in Jiannan Province killed a couple of woodcutters and was bumped into on the spot, the head of the Cangheng faction was anxious to protect the son, and resisted the officers and soldiers who went up the mountain with the strength of the faction.
Later, the Jiannan Daojie envoy asked for the imperial court, and the emperor was furious, and ordered 5,000 soldiers and horses to besiege Cangheng Mountain, and slaughtered 500 Cangheng disciples, none of whom were spared.
There are many such examples, and I don't know how many sects and people have verified the majesty of the law promulgated thirty years ago with blood. Since then, the people of Dawan still have admiration for the people of the rivers and lakes, but after all, they are a little less afraid.
Of course, the rivers and lakes are still the rivers and lakes, and the imperial court does not interfere with the fight between the people of the rivers and lakes, so the rivers and lakes have become the rivers and lakes of the people of the rivers and lakes, and they have a lot less to do with the ordinary people, but let the ordinary people no longer have to worry about living in fear.
Tianshan is in the territory of Tubo, the six monsters in southern Sichuan killed the medicine pickers, although the people present were a little angry, but they have not yet reached the point of excitement.
But Xu Mingyuan is different, he is a student of Chongzhou Academy, and only the best of Shuzhou scholars can enter the academy. And some people who knew Xu Mingyuan, although they were surprised how Xu Mingyuan could appear here, stood on his side unconditionally.
What Xu Mingyuan is doing now is to take advantage of the momentum of the onlookers to suppress the three people.
Although everyone was surprised at why the snow lotus bead turned into a sugar gourd, many people also saw that Xu Mingyuan's hand never moved after catching the flying bead.
That Qi Haobo is extraordinary, they would rather believe that it was really Qi Haobo who used the sugar gourd to play the six monsters of southern Sichuan, rather than believe that Xu Mingyuan, a scholar of the academy, could hide the snow lotus beads in front of everyone and replace them with sugar gourds.
Zeng Qingyi glared at the thin young man, moved closer to Xu Mingyuan, and looked at the sugar gourd in Xu Mingyuan's hand, and was also a little puzzled.
The six monsters in southern Sichuan were busy dealing with Qi Haobo, and they may not have seen it clearly, ordinary people have limited eyesight, but she was standing by Xu Mingyuan's side, and naturally knew that what Qi Haobo threw at Xu Mingyuan was definitely not a sugar gourd.
It's just that Xu Mingyuan is now swearing, and even moved out of the academy that he had just entered for three days, which made many people stand on his side, making Zeng Qingyi a little confused.
The crowd of onlookers was excited, so that the thin young man and Aunt Gongsun were all faces, if these people rushed forward regardless of it, although they were all useless scholars with no power to restrain chickens, but they couldn't all be killed.
Even the big sects like the Cangheng faction have been slaughtered, if they really kill two scholars here, I'm afraid that their six monsters in southern Sichuan can only flee to Tubo or Nanzhao.
The hunchbacked old man with a skull cane had the same complexion, wearing a black ring full of strange symbols on the thumb of his right hand and gently rubbing the crutches, making a rustling sound, a pair of somewhat cloudy eyes stared at Xu Mingyuan tightly, and said with a strange smile: "Little brother, don't be weird, the six of us have traveled thousands of miles for that snow lotus bead, Qi Haobo's thief wronged us for killing people and taking treasures, in fact, he is the real murderer, but he is the first to take the lead." Although I also believe that the little brother is not lying, but I, as the eldest brother, still have to give an explanation to the brothers......"
Xu Mingyuan ignored Zeng Qingyi's puzzled gaze, looked at the hunchbacked old man frowning slightly, and said with some embarrassment: "What the hero said is extremely true, then Qi Haobo is not a good person at first glance. But you see, the fathers and villagers present have seen it, I have a sugar gourd in my hand, if you have to ask me to turn a snow lotus pearl out, wouldn't it be difficult for a strong man. ”
"Hmph, boy, you said that the Snow Lotus Bead is not in your hand, so how about we search our bodies? If we can't find it, then we have nothing to say, but if we do, then don't blame Lord Rat for being unkind. Before the hunchbacked old man could speak, the thin young man with a big axe had already spoken first.
"Search?" Xu Mingyuan looked at the hunchbacked old man who was slightly jawed and tacitly acquiesced to the words of the thin young man, and then glanced at the sneering thin young man, and said loudly to the onlookers: "Fathers and fellow villagers, you have all heard it, although it is frank and frank, but since you heroes don't believe it, then I have to let them search and verify." However, after the body search, if the snow lotus beads are not found on me, if you still do not give up, I hope that all the fathers and villagers will testify. ”
Hearing that the thin young man said that he wanted to search his body, the people outside the venue were a little displeased, and then heard Xu Mingyuan say this, and they all responded: "Don't worry, how dare you deceive me There is no one in Shuzhou City!" ”
Xu Mingyuan arched his hand at everyone, and then looked at the three people with gloomy faces and said calmly: "Three heroes, I don't know who searched me." ”
The thin man snorted coldly, and wanted to step forward. Seeing this, Xu Mingyuan waved his hand again and again and said: "This rat master is too strong, and he is still quite respectful of things like rats, so it's better to change to a hero." ”
"Boy, you're looking for death!" The thin young man's face changed, and the big axe he was carrying in his hand was raised, and he shouted loudly.
"Hehe, you're a pretty scholar, you're so interesting, why don't you let your sister search your body?" The Gongsun aunt stepped forward, blocked the thin young man, looked at Xu Mingyuan and said with a smile, and threw a wink at him.
Xu Mingyuan endured the surging nausea in his chest, and said with an unchanged smile: "Sister Heroine's body search, that's the best." However, the silver needle in my sister's hand has to be careful, it looks weird and scary. ”
"My sister will be gentle." Aunt Gongsun's well-maintained face was full of flattery, her slender hands were as white as jade, a few bright red threads were wrapped around it, and the silver needle was no longer hidden, and slowly stretched out to Xu Mingyuan.
