Chapter 6 Sharpening the Knife
These officials from Yicheng are too greedy.
Dian Yong, who was born with a strong background, was born with an unruly personality and was not very afraid of the government. Seeing that his mount was also taken away, he couldn't wait to take action immediately and beat the people in front of him. It's just that Dian Yong knows in his heart that the reputation of the pawn family is not as good as before, and these officials are acting on orders. It's not difficult to beat them away, but the next time these people come back, he will be in big trouble.
Even if you want to do it, you must kill it without leaving any trouble.
He is not the kind of reckless man who only has strong martial arts but does not know how to advance or retreat, and he makes up his mind in an instant. Seeing that the requisitioner was blinded by greed, he refused to let go of anything, sighed secretly, and held back.
"This little brother really understands the righteousness and knows how to serve the empire."
As he wished, the requisitioning officer was in a better mood, personally grabbed a large handful of silver coins as compensation for the requisition, and then swaggered to separate the crowd with the officials and squeezed out. Even a well-known hero like Dian Yong bowed his head, and there was no one in the entire Changshan Town who dared to openly resist them.
The officials also had a little more red on their faces, and when they went back, they boasted about it when they drank with their colleagues.
"Alas, scattered, scattered, there is no hope. I thought that the old man was a little backbone, but I didn't expect that it would be like that, and the name of a hero was in vain. ”
"If you want me to say, it was ten years ago...... Young people are fearless! Someone shook his head, with a little more disdain on his face: "The older people are now, the less timid they are." ”
There are also loyal elders who can't get used to it, and reprimanded: "You juniors, you can only say a cool word, that's the government." Why don't you do it? ”
Those who walked away, and the sigh of resignation came vaguely: "It's really a flying disaster!" If you don't have a cow, what can you do next year? ”
………
Seeing that there was no excitement to see, the onlookers scattered in twos and threes.
Soon, only Sun Tian and Chen Wu remained in the crowd of Nuoda.
"Brother Xiaowu, aren't you leaving?" Seeing that Chen Wu's feet were rooted, and he didn't seem to have the intention of leaving, Sun Tian couldn't help but be quite curious, and asked: "Dian Yong has bowed his head like this, what else are you not convinced?" Besides, didn't you go to the quarry today to move stones? If it drags on for a long time, the steward will definitely have to deduct the money. ”
"I'm not going."
Chen Wu glanced at the officials who had gone away, his face was a little more mysterious, and then he turned to Sun Tian and said, "I still have something to do, you can go back first." ”
"Oh, that's ......"
Although he didn't understand what Chen Wu wanted to do, seeing that he seemed to have made up his mind, Sun Tian didn't persuade him, and turned around and left after saying to take care.
Soon, outside the old mansion of the Dianjia family, which had surrounded more than 100 people, only Chen Wu was left.
He stood under the locust tree at the door, as if in a daze, in fact, he was thinking about the early days of the service in "Empire", and the momentum he was going to use next.
That's right, what happened today in the history of the game also happened, and many players witnessed that scene with their own eyes. At that time, the warriors who were superior in force also did not choose to resist, but let these people leave under the sympathetic or disapproving gazes of the players. But in the evening of the same day, the black scarf thieves more than ten miles away learned the news, chased after them overnight, killed two officials, burned down the mountain temple where they settled, and robbed the cattle and horses and left.
If anyone thinks that this is the end of the matter, they are very wrong.
Before nightfall, Dian Yong left the village alone, blocked the way for the black turban thief to leave, killed seven people in a row, and calmly snatched back the green horse. Although the black turban thieves were outnumbered, they were so shocked by their bravery that they didn't dare to chase them.
Players are not fools, if there is nothing greasy in this, how can the black scarf thief from more than ten miles away get the news so quickly and come overnight? How did Dian Yong ambush them on the way to retreat in advance? Obviously, this is a ploy by Dian Yong to kill people with a knife. It is undoubtedly a big crime to directly attack the government, but under the pretense of the hands of the black scarf thief, it will not leave hidden dangers, and it can snatch back the BMW. Even if there are really any clues left to be found, Dian Yong has nothing to do with this matter, he killed all thieves.
Not only can the government not punish it, but it will not be stingy with rewards!
Just when Chen Wu was immersed in his memories, someone hurriedly came out of the courtyard of the old mansion of the Dian family. Because it was quiet outside for a while, he obviously thought that everyone outside was gone, and suddenly saw that Chen Wu was still there, and couldn't help but be startled.
Taking advantage of this effort, Chen Wu, who was disturbed, also saw the appearance of the person who came.
He was sixteen or seventeen years old, with thick hands and feet, and his childishness had not yet taken off.
He is the son of the old slave of the pawn family, in other words, he is the servant of Dian Yong, and he is also innocent, grew up together, and can basically be cited as a confidant. Due to the extremely close relationship, if something happens to the head of the family, Dian Kang, a house slave, will not be able to escape joint responsibility!
"It's you."
Dian Kang glanced at it a few times and recognized Chen Wu, a somewhat familiar guy - Changshan Town was so big after all, he couldn't look up and see him when he looked down. Sure that it was someone from his own town, he didn't say anything, said hello and hurriedly left the town.
If memory serves......
Chen Wu's heart jumped, knowing the whereabouts of Dian Kang. After wandering outside for a while, he made up his mind and pushed the door uninvited into the old mansion of the pawn family.
The front yard, which serves as a school yard, is empty.
Unimpressed, he strolled in. Soon, next to the three-room mansion, I saw Dian Yong sitting by the well - and heard the rustling of knives by the way.
Dian Kang's martial arts are extremely high, and his ears and eyes are naturally sensitive. Although Chen Wu's steps were light, it was impossible to hide from him. glanced up at Chen Wu and found that it was someone from Changshan Town, and there was no contact, so he couldn't help but feel a little strange. But the self-confidence of the martial artist made him not say anything, but continued to sharpen his knife calmly. Under his movements, the already well-maintained knife edge became sharper and sharper, and the cold killing machine flashed in the sun.
Chen Wu suddenly had an intuition, with such a blade, it only takes one time to kill anyone.
There was a brief silence in the courtyard.
After grinding it for a while, Dian Yong raised the knife and put it in front of his eyes, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then shook his head. Reached out and poured some well water on the whetstone, repeating the previous movement. After a few minutes, he stopped satisfied, took out the silk cloth beside him and carefully rubbed the blade of the knife, moving slowly without any fireworks.
After doing this, Dian Yong put away the knife, and then looked up and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
looked at Chen Wu's eyes, with a compelling sharpness.
Chen Wu was not deterred by his eyes, looked at him-for-tat, and asked, "Why are you sharpening your knife?" ”
Dian Yong is still very confident in his name, after all, he dared to fight more than ten bandits ten years ago. Over the years, mentioning it can almost stop children crying. Ordinary villagers in Changshan Town didn't dare to look at him at all. The young man in front of him, who had not dealt with him much, broke Dian Yong's impression and made him inevitably a little more curious.
Thinking like this, Dian Yong said casually: "The knife is blunt, sharpen it and kill the chicken at night." ”
"Kill chickens?"
Chen Wu's bright eyes paused for a moment on the edge of the knife in his hand, and said meaningfully: "Isn't it useless to use such a treasure knife to kill chickens?" I think it's going to be grinded, and it's good to kill people at night, right? ”
These words shocked Dian Yong.
He looked up at Chen Wu, this time he was much more serious, as if he was judging whether Chen Wu was casually talking or really discovering something. After a while, Dian Yong, who couldn't see the depth, lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "This is a joke, the laws of the Qianyuan Empire are clearly written, and the murderer will pay for his life." How dare a certain family do something illegal? ”
If you are timid, there will be no bold people in this Longshan Mansion.
Chen Wu said this in his heart, knowing that the person in front of him didn't trust him at all-this was actually expected, so he decided to have a direct showdown: "It's not a small cowardice, but kill people...... It really doesn't have to be to pay for your life, such as borrowing the hand of a black scarf thief? ”
Chen Wu deliberately emphasized the three words of the black scarf thief, and he couldn't hear it if he didn't believe in it.
Sure enough, hearing Chen Wu mention the three words of black scarf thief, Dian Yong was shocked. He now believed that Chen Wu had really seen something. After a moment of silence, Dian Yong rubbed the handle of the knife, faintly made a threatening gesture, and said in a deep voice: "At this moment, there are only you and me in the courtyard, and the distance is so close......"
He suddenly raised his knife and stared at Chen Wudao: "Aren't you afraid of being killed and killed?" ”
