Chapter 95: The Truth (5)
There is never a shortage of pedestrians on the streets of Yanjing City, even if it is almost midnight, but it is still brightly lit and the flow of people is endless. Such as green buildings, inns, etc., the doors are open in all directions to welcome guests from all over the world. Chu Xiaofeng took the middle-aged man into a luxury restaurant, asked for a private room, put wine and food, and warmly entertained the middle-aged man.
Looking at Chu Xiaofeng with a smile on his face, the middle-aged man's face was pale and worried. He didn't understand why this man treated him like this, did he have something important to entrust to him? I'm just a fisherman, how can I help him?
"Hehe, I don't know the eldest brother's name?" Chu Xiaofeng smiled, personally filled a glass of wine for the middle-aged man, and said with a smile.
"Brother, this master, the villain's name is Lu Feng, a person from Lujiazhuang not far away, who makes a living from fishing. I don't know what happened to my uncle? Lu Feng stood up and asked respectfully. He really couldn't figure out what use he could do to this master as an ordinary person.
"Hehe, it turned out to be Brother Lu, and the younger brother invited the eldest brother to come just to ask one thing, and please don't hide anything from the eldest brother." Chu Xiaofeng smiled kindly and motioned for Lu Feng to sit down.
"Poof", when Lu Feng heard this, he was so frightened that he immediately knelt down for Chu Xiaofeng and kept kowtowing. He cried with a handful of snot and tears: "Uncle spare his life, the little one knows that he is wrong." I shouldn't have peeked at Widow Wang's bath, I had heard that she had a good match, doing things in Beijing, but I didn't expect it to be your old man, the little one knew that he was wrong, and asked the uncle to have a lot, so spare the villain. ”
"Uh" Chu Xiaofeng listened to Lu Feng's words, and the wine he had just drunk was stuck in his throat, almost choking to death. What is the king's widow's good looks, this man's imagination is too rich. He coughed twice and said softly: "Brother Lu, what is this for, I don't know any widow Wang, let alone her good looks." ”
"Well, isn't Uncle really the old friend of the widow?" Lu Feng stopped crying and slowly sat down in the chair, he let out a long breath, as long as it wasn't for the widow Wang, he didn't think he had done anything wrong.
"I just want to ask, where did the eldest brother get this jade pendant." Chu Xiaofeng reached out and took out the Dragon Guard Order from his arms, threw it on the table, and asked in a low voice.
"I picked it up." As soon as Lu Feng saw this jade pendant, his face changed instantly, and he said hesitantly.
"Picked up? Does Brother Lu know what this is? Chu Xiaofeng sandwiched the dragon guard order on the table between his fingers and asked gloomily.
"How do I know." Lu Feng's face turned even paler, as if he had caused trouble again. The year before last, the old blind man of Zhuangzi once told his fortune that he had a catastrophe this year, and it was difficult to achieve this thing.
"This jade pendant is the emperor's item today, a few days ago, a group of robbers came to the palace, and they were bold enough to attract the attention of the palace. In the end, under the pursuit of the imperial guards, except for the leader of this gang of bandits, the other thieves were all punished. You dare to take in the leader of the bandits, and you should be punished for the destruction of the nine clans, and the disaster will be caused to your relatives and friends! Chu Xiaofeng smashed the Long Wei Ling into Lu Feng's face and said viciously. He didn't believe that under such a charge, this Lu Feng could still take it calmly.
"Ahh With a miserable scream, Lu Feng convulsed all over, he listened to Chu Xiaofeng's words, and was so frightened that the seven souls were gone, and he almost fainted on the spot, he slumped in the chair, trembling all over, he couldn't say a word, he was already scared stupid. Destroying the Nine Clans and prolonging relatives and friends, this is not a joke, if you don't do it, the entire Lujiazhuang will perish because of yourself.
"Do you know why I didn't send you to the government right away? That's because you still have a chance to make meritorious contributions! Chu Xiaofeng smiled coldly.
"Uncle is not a big man, I said, I said it all. I beg you to raise your noble hand and save the villain's life, I will say whatever you ask. Lu Feng almost crawled, came to Chu Xiaofeng, and hugged Chu Xiaofeng's leg tightly, as if he had grasped the last straw.
"Then let's talk about it first, how did this jade pendant come about." Chu Xiaofeng asked coldly. Since you want to act, you naturally play a full set.
"Hey! It's all my greedy mother-in-law. Lu Feng sighed heavily, if it weren't for his mother-in-law, would he be in the predicament he is in today. He said with a crying voice: "The villain is a fisherman, and his ancestors have lived by fishing for five generations. In addition to being in the city and gambling, I spend almost all my year fishing in the water. A few days ago, when I was returning from fishing, I noticed a man floating in the middle of the river, so I rescued him ashore. ”
Lu Feng wiped away a handful of tears and hurriedly continued: "The villain originally thought that he was a dead man, so he dragged him ashore to see if any relatives claimed him. Who knows, this guy is not dead, after he woke up, he has been lying in my house and drinking all day. I drank dozens of jars of fruit wine brewed by my family. Naturally, my mother-in-law would not give up, crying and shouting for him to lose money, and the man gave her this piece of jade pendant. ”
"So, the man is still in your house?" Chu Xiaofeng frowned, could it be that there were other members of the Thirteen Wings of the Dragon Guard who did not die, or Xiao Xiao fell into trouble again, but he happened to be rescued by Lu Feng. There is one point, Chu Xiaofeng can't understand that the Thirteen Wings of the Dragon Guard regard the Dragon Guard Order as life, which is a symbol of their identity and glory, why can they give it to others casually?
"Yes, that man has been lying in the villain's house, and it is really not that the villain is willing to take him in. I actually wanted to drive him away a long time ago, but he was tall and big, and the villain was afraid that he wouldn't be able to beat him. Lu Feng said while crying. Now he even has the heart to die, and he saved others and rescued him from disaster.
"Take me to him right away, and when you see him, you'll be fine." Chu Xiaofeng said lightly. He had to find out if that person was Xiao Xiao and why he appeared in Lujiazhuang.
"Yes, the villain will take you to him right away." When Lu Feng heard this, he hurriedly staggered forward to lead the way, hoping that the bandit leader had not left yet, otherwise his net worth and life would be explained. Chu Xiaofeng gently followed behind Lu Feng, holding the two silver needles tightly in his hands, if he made the slightest move, he would immediately take his life.
Out of the restaurant, Chu Xiaofeng rented a carriage and asked Lu Feng to drive towards his home, hurrying on the starry night, inevitably blowing in the cold wind. The icy chill made Chu Xiaofeng shiver, and he was faintly uneasy, as if he was in a huge conspiracy without knowing it. He looked back at the bustling and noisy Yanjing City, and for the first time he had a feeling of disgust.
Thinking about his days in Qinghe Town, he couldn't help but think of the voices and smiles of Guo Qingzheng and Xu Zhenzhen. That smile seems to dilute all the sorrow and resentment in the world. He lived in the people, although it was only a little more than two months, but he gained a lot, love, friendship and growth.
The carriage left Yanjing City and galloped along the riverbank, and the moonlight sprinkled on the river, sparkling, like a dream. Chu Xiaofeng sat in the carriage, closed his eyes and recuperated, waiting to reach his destination.
Lujiazhuang is only fifty or sixty miles away from Yanjing City, and within an hour, Lu Feng brought Chu Xiaofeng to his Zhuangzi. Lujiazhuang in the middle of the night is quiet and peaceful. Lu Feng respectfully invited Chu Xiaofeng out, and gently pulled the door of his house. After a while, the wooden door opened, and an obese middle-aged woman poked her head out, and when she saw that it was her husband, she breathed a sigh of relief and said fiercely: "Where the fuck did you die?" Are you gambling again? ”
"Hehe, no, not this time. By the way, what about that drunkard in our house? Lu Feng glanced back at Chu Xiaofeng embarrassedly, hurriedly covered his daughter-in-law's mouth, and asked in a low voice.
"Whew! Is it the drunkard's family standing behind you, who wants to lead him away, but also to keep the food money for these days! The fat woman pushed Lu Feng aside with one hand and said with an unkind face. My own man has always been weak and incompetent, if it weren't for himself, he would have been squeezed to death by his neighbors, and a few days ago he actually rescued a man who ate white food, which is really infuriating!
"Bold!" Chu Xiaofeng frowned, facing the fierce shrew, he had no choice but to continue to pretend and pretend to be an officer and soldier.
"Shout! What are you! Dare to scold your grandmother, you are holding chicken feathers as an arrow, pretending to be an official, isn't it! The fat woman crossed her hands on her waist, and she didn't care about the middle of the night at this time, and scolded directly.
With a crisp sound of "pop", I saw Lu Feng slap the fat woman to the ground, and scolded in a low voice: "Shut up the fuck for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu has already endured you enough!" If you dare to speak again, Lao Tzu will divorce you immediately! ”
"I" obese woman obviously didn't expect her husband to react so much, since he married him, he has been submissive, why did he suddenly go crazy this time? The fat woman who was slapped by him was full of joy, could it be that her husband finally opened up.
Chu Xiaofeng glanced at the fat woman sitting on the ground in disgust, and whispered to Lu Feng, "Take me to see that person." Lu Feng hurriedly and respectfully led Chu Xiaofeng into his house. The drunkard he brought back had been living in the stable, hoping he hadn't gone.
