Chapter 7: Gray Hair
The yamen was originally called "Yamen", because the walls of the lobby were painted with the minions of fierce beasts, so it got its name. The lights were still bright in Xiao Qiang, and the bright light armor on the guards at the door was glowing with a cold metallic light, and ordinary people didn't dare to approach it at all.
Thorn Shi Lu Zhu beckoned, and Liu Ba, who had a meaty face, hurriedly clung to his ear, and Lu Zhu explained in a low voice. Liu Ba changed color after hearing this: "Rushing into someone's house to rob someone like this...... Done? ”
Lu Zhu said: "What's not to do, what are you afraid of with me?" I won't hurt you...... Do you really want to deal with you being guilty of taking off your pants and farting like this? ”
"That's, that's." Liu Ba said with a bitter face. If you want to bully the people of a good family, he doesn't do much, but how can he find some reason, flirting with the girl and daughter-in-law or something, under normal circumstances, it's just a joke, but this time it's real, and he rushes directly into someone else's house to rob a woman...... Fortunately, there is a thorn history to support him, otherwise even he Liu Ba would not dare to do such a thing.
Lu Zhu squinted his eyes and said: "You Liu Er is just yelling fiercely, and the cowhide is blowing loudly, what's the matter, you are really going to do evil things and have stage fright?" ”
Liu Ba suddenly raised his head and said, "With Lu Yuanjun's words, what am I afraid of?" Don't worry, I'll take care of that. ”
"Very well, I'm waiting for your news. Remember, the first must be fast; Second, don't be stupid, send it to the yamen, send it out of the city directly, I'll wait for you outside; Third, you don't need too much, five or six or seven or eight people are fine, but the posture must be the best, don't get me some crooked melons and bad dates. After the matter is done, I naturally understand the merits of your Liu family in my heart, and you Liu Ba will be more free in Ruzhou in the future, right? ”
Liu Ba came out of the yamen in response, and immediately called out a group of fox friends and dog friends, and brought his family to the street. A group of people met and discussed, and thought about the handsome little lady they usually saw, and selected the object first.
At this moment, a gentleman who was about the same as Liu Ba said: "There is a little lady living in the Green Lion Inn, who came from other places, I have seen it, not to mention how white the skin and tender meat are, count her as well." ”
Liu Ba was like the boss, and said in a condescending tone: "Still there? ”
"Yes, still."
"It's better in other places, people have no place to cry, let their people sue the yamen." Liu Ba smiled lewdly.
After the arrangements were made, the group went their separate ways and rushed to their assigned destinations to grab people. After a while, I heard the noise in the neighborhood, and I don't know whose dog also joined in the fun, barking vigorously, and the other dogs were not far behind, barking one after another.
Liu Ba and the gentleman just now went straight to the Green Lion Inn with a group of family members, and after inquiring about the location of the room, they rushed to the door viciously. When the shopkeeper saw such a battle, he didn't understand it, so he cried and said with a sad face on the side: "The people who live are all guests, what is Second Brother Liu doing?" Give face to the folks in the big hometown. ”
"Do you know the identity of the people inside?" Liu Ba waved his fist, stared at his round eyes and said fiercely.
The shopkeeper shook his head.
Liu Ba said: "Then what are you talking about?" Want to be implicated? Smash the door open for me! ”
I only heard a "bang", and a strong man knocked over the wooden door panel directly with his shoulder. Liu Ba then strode in, and a wisp of dust on the beam of the house happened to be shocked and fell on his head, Liu Ba hurriedly spit out a few mouthfuls, fanned in front of him with his hand, and looked forward.
A white-haired woman was sitting on a bamboo floor, and the first thing that people noticed at first glance was, of course, the silver thread on one of her ends...... But she is not an old woman, not only is she not old, but her face is so smooth that there is not even a trace of wrinkles, Liu Ba has flirted with so many women, I have never seen such a good skin.
Big eyes, small nose and small mouth, very pure. There was a short guqin in front of her, her fingers were on the qin, but she didn't play it, and Liu Ba didn't even hear a sound of the piano when he entered the inn.
The white-haired woman smiled and said, "I'm a weak woman, what do you want to do when so many people come and rush in so scary?" ”
Liu Ba would laugh sourly when he saw the handsome little lady, but at this time, he opened his mouth and couldn't say the common words that he was used to, and stood there in a daze, like a big stupid melon.
"Ah...... This one...... That one...... I hit here and fell ......"
The white-haired woman smiled: "You fell so hard, why do I look like I hit the door on purpose......" Her expression suddenly turned cold, "Who are you?" Hurry up, don't waste time grinding. ”
Liu Ba blurted out: "It's really no offense, I'm a good person...... and the people next to him couldn't help laughing out loud.
The white-haired woman glanced at him, suddenly picked up and stood up from the bamboo collapse, and slowly walked towards the door, she didn't seem to be afraid of the tall and strong Liu Ba at all.
Everyone didn't know what she was going to do, so they all stood still. She fluttered past them and into the hallway, leaving a faint scent in the doorway. Liu Ba was about to say something, but the white-haired woman gently "shh
She just held the piano and stood quietly by the railing with her eyes closed, her body did not move, only a white hair gently swayed in the evening breeze, and her pure face was very quiet.
After a while, she opened her eyes and said with a smile: "It's really not the government that wants to arrest me." ”
Liu Ba said: "How about we get along?" The girl inquired in Ruzhou, who didn't say that my second brother Liu was the most righteous! ”
"Okay." The white-haired woman's attitude suddenly became very cordial, making people feel like a spring breeze. The speed of her transformation is breathtaking. She said coquettishly: "The second brother is the most righteous, and he should know that his friends must be sincere first and cannot be deceitful, so if you tell me the truth, what did you plan to do?" ”
It seems that this woman is very thoughtful, and she has already sensed that this group of people is not lustful and wants to do rape or something, if that is the case, they will not come up and bang on the door so swaggeringly, at least they have to find a chance, right?
She observed Liu Ba's expression with great interest, and said with a smile: "To tell the truth." Do you have anything to say in front of everyone, then you can whisper to me, I won't say it. With that, he charmingly hooked his jade white fingers like green onions.
Liu Ba looked at her fingers in amazement, glanced at her smiling pretty face again, and said in his heart: It's nothing to say to her, what impact can a foreigner have? When it was spread, everyone didn't believe it.
He stepped forward cautiously, smelling the faint fragrance in his nose as if he had been attracted to it. The white-haired woman suddenly said, "Okay, don't come here, I'm so afraid that you will do something bad...... You guys stand out a bit. ”
Liu Ba lowered his voice and said: "Our Lu Yuanjun in Ruzhou wants to find a few good families, and he has to have a good look, so I will handle this matter." It just so happened that one of my brothers accidentally saw the girl the day before yesterday, so ...... I'll be one of the girls, but don't worry, I'll have the final say here, and I won't get you over. ”
"Second brother is so kind to me, I really don't know how to repay you......" the white-haired woman said in a snort.
How to repay, of course, it is best to make a personal promise! Liu Ba thought so, but said generously on his face: "To be able to know the girl is a blessing for three lives." ”
"The second brother is such a good person, how long will he come in the future...... But the people I hate the most are liars, and I can't be trusted. ”
Liu Ba patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'm absolutely reliable." I haven't asked the girl's name yet, how can I live here alone? ”
The white-haired woman looked sad for a while, and said pitifully: "I am from the Wu family in Yangzhou, and there are two brothers and sisters in the family. My family was levied and escorted into Beijing by the imperial court, and my brother never returned...... I don't know if I'm dead or alive. My father and I had to go all the way down the canal, hoping to find my brother back home......"
Liu Ba sighed when he heard this, and said, "Yangzhou...... Why don't you send money to Thorn History? ”
"What money?"
Liu Ba was stunned and said: "No wonder you want to levy your family, you don't even understand the rules, who will you levy?" You have to give some filial piety silver from time to time in this matter, and it will naturally not be your turn to do any drudgery. ”
The white-haired woman said sadly: "Didn't I know before, if we knew, we wouldn't be reluctant to give up that little money, even no amount of money can change my brother...... Just now, the second brother said that Lu Tingshi was looking for a beautiful woman, what was the use? ”
Liu Ba smiled: "Do you need to say this? ”
"Why don't you send me in, maybe I'll be happy to accompany the envoy, and he will help us find my brother."
Liu Ba suddenly said: "No! How can I push you into the fire pit? I'll help you with that. ”
"How can you help me?" The white-haired woman's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery.
Liu Ba groaned: "How to help you, I will help you, you can accompany me!" ”
The white-haired woman sneered: "It turns out that you are so thoughtful, I originally missed my own brother, seeing you so enthusiastic, it was like recognizing you as a brother, how could I have thought that you are still that lustful person after all." ”
Liu Ba's face turned red, looked at the white skin on the white-haired woman's neck, blushed and said, "Don't toast and don't eat and drink!" ”
The white-haired woman said, "You should try." ”
Liu Ba was stunned, his mind was confused, he somehow, why couldn't he do something bad today? The hand was stretched out in the air, and it was frozen there. The white-haired woman said, "You're not bad. ”
At this moment, a strong man rushed up to the pavilion, and when he saw Liu Ba's head, he scolded: "Everyone else has done it, just you Liu Er is here to rub in, hurry up." ”
The white-haired woman took the opportunity to say: "He saw that I was beautiful and wanted to detain me privately, even if I followed the assassin history, I would not follow this ugly man with a full face and meat!" ”
Liu Ba was furious, pointed at her and said, "What did you say? ”
"What, am I wrong? If you want to rob the people's daughter, you just want to beat me? Come on! The white-haired woman looked at Liu Ba with a mocking face.
The strong man, who seemed to be a person in the yamen, glanced at the white-haired woman and said, "Leave him alone, follow me." The white-haired woman hugged the head of the guqin and walked away without looking back.
Liu Ba stood in place with a very injured appearance, speechless for a long time. The ruffian buddy next to him smiled: "The second brother is rarely kind, alas, but he was tricked." ”
"Don't mess with Lao Tzu! Your second brother and I are annoying! ”
