Chapter 11 Night Talk at the Inn
readx;
Just when the wine has passed three rounds and the dishes have passed the five flavors!
Du He was suddenly attracted by the conversation of several people beside him, and a man with a Shanxi accent said: "Have you heard, Cao Dashan from Longmen in Jiangzhou asked two outsiders to forcibly break into the entrance room a while ago, and they were almost killed.

A short man with an accent said: "I also heard that those two outsiders seem to claim to be the descendants of the old man Zhao back then, saying that Cao Dashan killed his grandparents for money and killed them!" ”
"This is nonsense!" Another guest dressed as a peasant next to them shouted angrily: "Cao Dashan is a kind man who is kind and generous, and often helps our poor people, if he is a bad man for money and kills, then there will be no good people in the world." ”
The unsuspecting Henan guest asked: "Then Cao Dashan is really worthy of the title of this great benevolent man?" ”
"Naturally!" The peasant guest said categorically: "Yang Guang is brutal, you have already known about it, so there is no need to say more. That year, he conquered Goguryeo for the first time, and the Sui army gathered in Zhuojun from all walks of life amounted to 1.13 million, and the military strength was far superior to Goguryeo. Divided into a land and water army, attacking Goguryeo, but Yang Guang underestimated the enemy and used people improperly, so he came to Hu'er to lead the Jianghuai Naval Division, and it was defeated in a battle. The 300,000 troops were ambushed, and only about 2,400 people were able to survive. The old peasant was one of the two thousand, who was wounded by an arrow in the leg. For the sake of his own life, Yang Guang abandoned me like an animal. After a period of fugitive, I survived, but one leg fell ill because it was not treated in time, and I have been lame ever since. ”
Everyone looked at his left foot, and sure enough, unlike ordinary people, they all showed a look of resentment.
Yang Guang ignored the people's livelihood and people's plans, re-enforced labor, and called thousands of people as slaves, often millions of people, and there were few people who did not hate it.
"I'm a cripple, the country can't take care of me, I can only beg to live, it was Cao Dashan who took me in, he not only opened a porridge shed for us to fill our stomachs, but also didn't care about my legs, hired me to give me land to plant, so that I can live as a cripple until now. Such a good person, who dares to say that he is murdered for money, I will fight for him. His face was excited, and he saw that the posture really had the strength to fight for his life.
Most of the customers in the store are people waiting to cross the river, and the wind and waves are strong at night, and the crossing of the river is dangerous, and they all gather in one place and wait for the arrival of tomorrow. The night is long, and there is no intention of sleeping, someone provokes a topic, and the person who responds to it also opens his mouth again and again, telling his hearsay or personal experience.
The Cao family is a wealthy landlord in Longmen County, privately owning 100 acres of fertile land, operating a rice shop, and often contributing to help the poor people, and is famous.
Especially the lame farmer, because he received the favor of the great good man of Cao, he spared no effort to say good things for him, and said it eloquently, praising the good man and his wife like Guanyin Bodhisattva, who specially went down to the earth to save the suffering, and everyone praised him endlessly.
When Du He and Wu Meiniang heard this, they glanced at each other, and they both saw the doubts in each other's eyes, I don't know if the so-called outsider will be the person they are looking for.
Du He gave a look and asked Wu Meiniang to ask about the outsider.
Although he can also speak, at some point, the power of a beauty is better than everything, and if Wu Meiniang speaks, there will be unexpected effects.
Wu Meiniang understood, Ying Ying smiled, as if the peony was in full bloom, and said: "This uncle, according to you, that outsider is really hateful, did he succeed?" God can't let a great good man die like this. ”
Where has the lame farmer seen such a fairy-like figure, let her smile, go to the three souls and seven spirits, it took a while to react, turned her head, did not dare to look again, and replied respectfully: "Back to the girl's words, God opened her eyes, naturally there is no." Having said that, those two outsiders are not ordinarily powerful, they went straight to Cao's mansion, and the more than fifty guards in the mansion were not their opponents, and they were beaten with three blows and two blows. I wasn't there at the time, I didn't see it with my own eyes. But my eldest son was one of the guards, and he said that those good martial artists in the usual days couldn't walk in front of those two people for a round, and after only a cup of tea, more than fifty people were put down by them, and Cao Dashan didn't even have time to escape, so he let them hold it at once. ”
Most of the people in the inn were attracted to this topic, and when they heard this, some people exclaimed: "So powerful? And what about later? ”
The lame farmer said: "Later, later outsiders came to kill Cao Dashan, and at this time of great crisis, a sharp arrow flew through the air and saved Cao Dashan. A young hero rushed into Cao's Mansion, don't look at the two outsiders, but the young hero is the real master, and the outsiders will be subdued in three or two. ”
"What happened to the outsiders now?" The one who asked this was Duhe, who had never spoken.
The lame farmer replied: "Naturally, it was sent to the official, the county lieutenant of Longmen County is an upright and selfless person, and if it falls into his hands, those two outsiders can stand it enough." ”
Hearing this, everyone laughed: "What a good person has a good reward!" ”
This topic is over, and others have something else to say.
Du He saw that he couldn't hear any favorable news, so he walked to the back hall with Wu Meiniang to rest.
Walking on the road, Wu Meiniang said: "Brother Du, you say, will the two outsiders they said be the people we are looking for?" ”
Du He smiled: "I can't be sure, but the possibility is not impossible." Everything needs to be seen in Jiangzhou Longmen. Hopefully, if it were them, things would have been much easier. "The other party returned across the sea, and there is almost no such thing as an enemy, but as long as they are not mentally ill, they have no innocent idea of killing people with a knife, there must be a story in this, and the mystery of the story will be solved, and they are very likely to be used by Datang.
At dawn the next day, Du He and Wu Meiniang finished freshening up early, chartered a cruise ship at the ferry, and sailed to the north bank of the Yellow River.
The two took advantage of the time to sit side by side on the bow of the boat to tour the majesty of the Yellow River, chatting and gossiping together, and they seemed to have endless words together.
Arrive at the north bank of the Yellow River, pass through Puzhou and Baoding, go north along the official road, and reach Longmen County five days later.
When he arrived at Longmen, Du He was not in a hurry to find the local lieutenant, but went with Wu Meiniang to inquire about outsiders in the county first.
Two hours later, the two met, and Wu Meiniang took the lead and said: "I think this great good man has a big problem!" ”
Du He smiled and said, "I feel the same!" ”
The authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and the people in the county instinctively regard them as good people who cannot do bad things because of the good things done by the Zhou family, and some essential things are easy to ignore.
Du He and Wu Meiniang, as bystanders, quickly discovered the suspicions.
