Chapter 156: Arrest Jia Xu
Wuguan is located in the southernmost part of Shang County, the north of Danshui, Guancheng is built on a relatively flat high ground between the canyons, the north is dependent on the high Shaoxi Mountain, the south is in danger, the east and west each open a door, and the roll hole is covered with bricks and stones. The terrain of the western part of the country is relatively flat, and the eastern part of the eastern part of the country stretches the mountainside and winds through, the cliff is high and the valley is deep, narrow and difficult to walk, and it is the place where the soldiers must fight for since the beginning of the Qin Dynasty.
When the coalition of princes raised troops to fight against Dong, Wuguan was very well guarded because he held the main road out of the pass in front of Nanyang.
After the end of the battle of the princes against Dong, there was a temporary calm in the world, and the passes were gradually opened, and the merchants who went to Guanzhong from Nanyang and the merchants who went to the Central Plains from Qianzhong were endless, and there were people queuing up to pass the customs every day.
At noon, the merchants and people waiting to pass through the west gate of Wuguan lined up in a long row, which had stretched to hundreds of steps away.
The sun is very scorching, and many people have been roasted and sweaty, and they all secretly curse their mothers.
The soldiers guarding the pass frowned coldly, and received soft hands when collecting money.
Originally, documents were required to enter the city, and some important passes required customs clearance documents issued by the imperial court.
However, since the great turmoil in the first year of Zhongping, there have been endless wars in various places, many local officials have fled en masse, and they are in a state of anarchy, and the people are even more displaced.
However, it is not possible to pass the test.
The garrisons in various places can only strictly investigate those who enter the city, but if they find anyone suspicious, they will be strictly interrogated.
In the long queue, Luo Zheng and Xu Chu were also scolding their mothers.
The land of Guanzhong on an August day was so hot that the scorching solar energy burned people to death.
Then. A middle-aged man next to him glanced at Luo Zheng twice, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Tai is dignified, and he is not an ordinary person at first glance." It seems that it is even rarer for you to be such a majestic person, dare to ask the name of Gao? ”
Luo Zheng glanced at the middle-aged man and said casually: "In Xia Chenping, how do you call Brother Tai?" ”
The middle-aged man arched his hand and said: "In Xia Jia'an, Brother Tai is going to Nanyang?" ”
Luo Zheng nodded and asked, "Listening to Brother Tai's accent, it seems to be a person from Liangzhou." Also going to Nanyang? ”
Jia An shook his head and said: "No, if you want to go to Wuguan to serve your brother, you won't go to Nanyang." ”
Luo Zheng let out an 'oh'. said casually: "Presumably, the brother of the Taiwanese clan must be very good in Wuguan!" ”
Jia An smiled and said: "In the lower clan brother Jia Xu, now the military general guards General Li Li is serving under the account. ”
"Jia Xu?"
Luo Zheng was stunned, and a terrifying light flashed in his eyes.
Jia An didn't notice it, and asked in surprise, "Brother has also heard of the name of my brother?" ”
Luo Zheng let out an 'um' sound. Said: "Brother Tai is a famous man in Liangzhou. Jia Xu Jia Wenhe? ”
Jia An nodded, "Exactly!" ”
Luo Zheng said with a smile: "I have made friends with famous people in the world in Xia Suxi, and I have heard the name of Brother Ling for a long time, but it is just one side." This time I passed through Wuguan, that is, I knew that Mr. Jia Xu was in Wuguan, and I should go to meet him, I don't know if Brother Tai can be introduced? ”
Jia An said happily: "Brother Tai is polite, just a trivial matter, and he should serve himself." ”
Luo Zheng arched his hand and said: "Thank you so much, brother!" ”
Kung Fu of speaking. He has reached the gate of the city.
The guards at the city gate stopped a few people to investigate, and Jia An reported Jia Xu's number. After several city gate guards guarded Jia Xu's handwritten letter to Jia An, they were suddenly in awe, and they put it in without even searching their bodies.
Luo Zheng and Xu Chu were searched all over the body by the two city gate guards, and they still refused to let them go.
It's really that Xu Chu is too big, and he looks like a dangerous element at first glance.
After the city gate guards collected the entrance tax, they were still a little hesitant, not knowing whether to let the two people enter the customs.
Seeing this, Jia An hurriedly said: "Several brothers, these two are close friends, and they have come to visit my brother together. ”
"Ah, it turned out to be a friend of Mr., let it go!"
When the chief next to him heard this, he dared to stop him and hurriedly let him go.
Luo Zheng's slightly frowning brows were relaxed, and he glanced at Xu Chu, who was about to attack, and followed Jia An into the city.
"Thank you, brother, for speaking up!"
After entering the city gate, Luo Zhengcai thanked Jia An.
Jia An smiled: "It's a trivial matter, why worry about it, brother Tai doesn't have to be polite." ”
Luo Zheng nodded, and when Jia An asked where to go, he followed Jia An directly to Jia Xu's mansion.
Who is Jia Xu, he is a well-known poisoner in a troubled country.
As early as when he was in Luoyang, Luo Zheng inquired about Jia Xu's whereabouts.
It's just that Jia Xu doesn't have much celebrity now, although he has the name of a celebrity in Liangzhou, but few people know it, and he doesn't know where the person is, but he doesn't want to be under Li Li's account.
Since I've met it, how can I not visit it?
Luo Zheng thought of this, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but have a sinister smile, but it quickly disappeared.
After about a pillar of incense, the three of them inquired all the way and came to a relatively wide alley of An Street.
On both sides are high-ranking families, and at a glance, you can see that the people who live here are either rich or expensive.
Jia An asked several more people before taking Luo Zheng and Xu Chu to a small mansion.
I knocked on the door, and it was an old man in his sixties.
"Lao Xu!"
"Sixth Master!"
Jia An and the old man recognized each other at the same time and shouted.
"Six years, please come in!"
The old man seemed to know that Jia An would come, so he hurriedly invited the three of them in.
Jia An asked, "Old Xu, can my brother be at home?" ”
Lao Xu said: "The master went to the office and has not come back yet, Master An invites him to serve tea in the inner hall!" ”
Jia An nodded, and when he followed Lao Xu to the inner hall, the housekeeper who got the news had already greeted him.
"Sixth Master!"
"Lao Jia!"
The housekeeper, also surnamed Jia, hurriedly gave a salute and was busy serving tea to give up his seat.
Jia An introduced Chen Ping and Xu Chu again, and asked, "Old Jia, I wonder when my brother will return home?" ”
Lao Jia was puzzled: "This, the old man is busy with official business, and the old slave doesn't know it." ”
Jia An nodded, stopped asking, drank tea, and went to the side room to rest.
Luo Zheng and Xu Chu were at peace with their encounters, and they also rested in a side room, waiting for Jia Xu to return home.
Dinner in the afternoon. When it was almost dark, Jia Xu finally came back.
When Luo Zheng and Xu Chu were invited to the side hall, Jia An and Jia Xu had been talking about the old for a long time.
Jia Xu is in his forties. The face is strange, the stature and height are medium, there is nothing surprising, only a pair of eyes are extremely clear and bright, it seems to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and at first glance it is a very scheming and intelligent person.
Jia An pointed at Luo Zheng and said, "Brother, this is Chen Ping from Nanyang!" ”
Luo Zheng arched his hand and said: "Mr. Jiuwen's name." Passing by Wuguan today, I came to visit, and I still invite Haihan to take the liberty of it! ”
Xu Chu stared at the tiger. stared at Xun Yu and didn't say a word.
Jia Xu glanced at Luo Zheng, and then at Xu Chu, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. His eyes suddenly became extremely sharp. Stared at Luo Zheng and said, "Who is the foot, why do you want to mix into Wuguan?" ”
Jia An was stunned, glanced at his brother in confusion, and then looked at Luo Zheng, his face gradually changed.
Luo Zheng said in a deep voice: "What does Mr. mean by this, I am very puzzled!" ”
Jia Xu snorted and said, "Anyone in a high position has the power of life and death in his hands. Words and deeds must be different from ordinary people, only look at the words and deeds under the feet. It is a person who is accustomed to being arbitrary and dictatorial, and has the power of life and death in his hands. No matter how well you cover it up, you can only hide it from some ordinary people, and how can you hide it. Who is the foot, what is the purpose of infiltrating the martial arts, if you don't recruit them quickly, no wonder you will order the sergeant to come in and take down the two of you, and torture them. ”
Jia An's face changed again, and his eyes staring at Luo Zheng and Xu Chu were already faintly unkind.
"Hey, hahaha!"
Luo Zheng pulled out his cheeks and couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh.
In my heart, I was secretly surprised at the same time, this guy's eyes were so vicious.
Although he didn't see through his origin, he saw through at a glance that his fabricated identity was fake.
Jia Xu deserves to be Jia Xu, but this eyesight is already unmatched by few people.
Jia Xu was not angry, and said indifferently: "There is no fear under my feet, but I don't know what to rely on." Although your family has bravery, but Wuguan has 8,000 defenders, as long as you give the next order, the two of you will be unable to escape, what's so funny! ”
Jia An glared at Luo Zheng and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Luo Zheng smiled and said, "I want to know who General Ben is?" You two brothers will find out later. ”
With a wave of his hand, Xu Chu immediately pounced.
Jia Xu's face changed, and he just wanted to call the general to come in, but he was already held by Xu Chu.
Jia An was shocked and said, "You dare to ......"
When the words fell, Xu Chu had already slashed his neck with a hand knife, and he fainted very simply.
Jia Xu was taken aback and finally realized that he had made a fatal mistake.
That is, I didn't expect that this hidden man would dare to commit murder in his own home without scruples.
"Master, what's going on?"
At this time, the general who heard the movement ran over and asked loudly at the door.
Luo Zheng's eyes sharpened, stared at Jia Xu fiercely, and then waved his hand.
Xu Chu immediately let go of Jia Xu and stood in Jia Xu's hand with his hands down.
Jia Xu is really a smart person, he flicked his sleeves casually, and said, "It's okay, you stand down!" ”
"Yes, sir!"
The general agreed and immediately retreated.
Luo Zheng looked at Jia Xu and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to be afraid of death at my feet, hahaha!" ”
Jia Xu didn't care, and said indifferently: "Ants still spare their lives, let alone people?" ”
Luo Zheng laughed and said: "Being able to say that you are greedy for life and afraid of death is so high-sounding, and it can be regarded as a kind of realm." Now that your two brothers are in the hands of this general, how do you feel if you don't know how to do it? ”
Jia Xu's eyes suddenly froze, and he said in a deep voice: "Who are you?" ”
Luo Zheng said: "If a certain line does not change its name, it does not change its surname, and General Pingdi Luo Zheng is also!" ”
"This ......"
Jia Xu was really taken aback at this time, and he was speechless for a while.
General Luo Zheng of Pingdi, what is this guy doing single-handedly in Wuguan?
I've seen the bold, but I've never seen such boldness.
Moreover, Luo Zheng turned his back on Dong Zhuo and occupied the two counties of Jincheng and Wuwei, and now he is also a warlord, as the lord of the three armies, how could he come to Wuguan if he is not in Jincheng, which is really surprising.
Even with Jia Xu's calmness, he couldn't help but be a little confused. (To be continued......)
