Chapter 116: Exposed
Fang Liangzhe was very good at sharing, and pushed the other uneaten sauce elbow in the bowl to her, and asked Pu Pu: "Have you eaten it?" ”
Chen Tongsheng smiled silently, untied a small sheepskin pot from his waist, splashed the tea in Fang Liangzhe's cup, which was as light as white water and had a few thick stemmed leaves, and poured him a cup. The aroma of wine suddenly spread thinly, Fang Liangzhe smiled, and continued to talk nonsense: "Oh, it is said that the lower officials don't drink anymore, but if the fairy sister is gracious, I have to ......."
Immediately, the claw he stretched out to the wine glass was held down by Chen Tongsheng, Fang Liangzhe couldn't help but look down, it was a hand with slender fingers and scars, it was not beautiful in ordinary eyes, but the scarred palm made people's hearts move indescribably. This woman named Chen Tongsheng came to Yanshan Town earlier than him, and he still remembered that when they first met, he met a gangster who blocked the road and robbed him on the way to work.
She came to Yanshan Town earlier than Fang Liangzhe, and those wanderers who were idle all day long probably knew her, or had heard of her, and they didn't want to run away, but they did stop and leave after seeing Chen Tongsheng.
At that time, when this tall, unusually beautiful woman, with a wild temperament around her, walked over in the morning light, Fang Liangzhe almost thought that this was the lynx in the mountain that had turned into a human form. Not to mention that she was carrying a rabbit dripping blood in her hand.
She didn't come to say hello, she smiled and nodded to him when she passed by, even if she knew him. It was as if she had something more hurried to do, and she didn't even have time to stop and meet her new friends.
The subsequent meeting was when the bandit gangs in the mountains were becoming more and more rampant, and the lives of the residents were already miserable. Fang Liangzhe was studying the terrain in the mountains with people, considering the feasibility of suppressing bandits, when he suddenly heard a report, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Chen Tongsheng gently grabbing away the handyman who was standing at the door and almost blocking him, and he bent his index finger and knocked on the door frame "dang", lowered his eyes and looked at his surprised face, and said in a tone that sounded light, but made people unable to resist: "Take your people, let's leave now." ”
On that day, the mountain bandits were almost caught off guard, and no one expected that the government would suddenly launch a crackdown on the bandits in broad daylight. And the part of the team led by Chen Tongsheng accurately bypassed all the defenses in the cottage, attacked from behind, and took the first, second, and third leaders who had just eaten Feiguang in the mountain nest and were paralyzed on the ground...... It's all clean.
Later, he realized that that day was when the big boss of the cottage led a group of henchmen out, and the main force of the think tank in the cottage was weak, Chen Tongsheng caught the nest of bandits who occupied the mountain as the king, and went away alone, and tied up the legendary big boss in front of the county yamen in two days.
Without waiting for Fang Liangzhe to hold a celebration banquet to thank her, she disappeared into the boundless night again, in the vast plain.
If it weren't for Fang Liangzhe listening to the proprietress of the steamed bun shop say that Chen Tongsheng often went to her to buy some steamed bread dry food, he would almost have thought that this was really the incarnation of the snail girl.
Every time, she suddenly arrives and leaves suddenly, often for the seemingly unsolvable murder in Rock Mountain Town, the incident related to Feiguang, and the trouble of mountain bandits. It was as if there was no family and no concern.
After dealing with her a few times, Fang Liangzhe asked her name, and then he wanted to understand that Chen Tongsheng didn't ask his name when he first met, but in fact, it was more because he didn't care.
The temperature in the northern mountains is low, and Chen Tongsheng drinks more spirits to keep warm, so as to maintain her long-term motionless lurking in the dark night, with high-intensity sudden activities.
Now in late autumn and early winter, Chen Tongsheng raised his head and drank two sips of wine from the sheepskin pot and sat down in front of the stone table.
"Go to Wang San's nest and take a turn," Chen Tongsheng exhaled, because he had been lurking all night last night and working hard today, his expression was a little tired: "When it gets cold in winter, the flying light will condense into lumps, which is more convenient for them to pack and store." Haystacks, wood, spices, air-dried meat, cloth, everything can be mixed in and put in, without being restricted by the bottles and cans of liquids. Scalping is only going to become more frequent. ”
She shook her head and said, "But I still haven't found anything." ”
These Fang Liangzhe also knew in his heart that when it was really cold after a while, the heavy snow would block the road, and the rampant flying light reselling here would have to stop for a while. Therefore, at this time of year, it is the most active time for black merchants and thieves to be organized, and this year's Feiguang has not been shipped, and the price will be greatly reduced next year. The effectiveness of the flying light is very affected by time, and the more it is stolen, the more it will be sold for a sky-high price. If it drags on for a year and a half, the price of Feiguang will be flattened, and the black merchants who work hard in Yanshan Town will be no different from the merchants who resell outside. In this way, they will not only lose most of their profits, but also lose the word of mouth at the door of the traffickers.
After all, the flying light that came out of Rock Mountain Town is a fresh signboard.
Fang Liangzhe chatted with Chen Tongsheng about the information she had obtained for the time being, and her next move. Chen Tongsheng wandered around and didn't know much, but it was better than Fang Liangzhe.
In the end, Fang Liangzhe hesitated for a moment, and still asked: "You once had a good relationship with Wang Er's gang for a while in order to get the news from Wang Er's gang, and he threatened to recognize you as a sister-in-law, and he also saved your life...... Of course, it is not certain who will save whom, he must be blowing. But is this why you don't see him in the shadows today? ”
"He did save my life."
Fang Liangzhe didn't know what to say, so he had to wait in silence.
"I'm not familiar with many places in Yanshan, and I can't cope with the bad weather, and I almost fell off the cliff," Chen Tongsheng paused when he said this, and then changed his words: "No, if it weren't for Wang San's help, I would definitely have fallen." Then I'd be a corrupted corpse by now. ”
"Then ......" Fang Liangzhe's eyes widened, and he asked unexpectedly: "He has a life-saving grace for you, how can you still send him to prison?" ”
After saying that, he himself felt that this sentence was a little unreasonable, scratched his chin awkwardly, and justified himself: "I just feel a little ...... Accidentally. ”
Chen Tongsheng's expression was a little strange at that moment, she looked at the little sheepskin wine jug in her hand, suddenly laughed, shook the jug slightly, and said, "Speaking of which, I also had similar questions. ”
In the cold light of the early winter, she squinted slightly, revealing a look of memory: "At that time, I couldn't understand why he could still look so ...... last moment is so sad and reluctant, the next moment you can give the order to intercept and kill. If it were me, I would never have hurt someone I had an intimate relationship with because of the influence of the outside world. She let out a long breath: "It wasn't until I left Kyoto and traveled north along the river, through fields, countless villages, towns, and countless people in groups to continue the journey, that I realized that I had this idea because there were too few people I could see." ”
The corners of her raised eyes were blown bright crimson by the cold wind whistling by, and her eyes turned slightly, casually swept Fang Liangzhe's serious expression, and continued: "It's like when I have seen a large number of people who have been mutilated by flying light, it is difficult for me to think that this is a harmless thing...... That's probably what it means. ”
Chen Tongsheng took a sip of wine and said, "Wang San is indeed a good person to me, but he disregarded the life of the law and resold Feiguang. He has a deeper and bigger network of theft and trafficking behind him, and if he is let go this time, he may miss the opportunity to touch the big net behind him. And how many bones and tears have been on this big network, and how many bones and tears will continue to be hung? ”
"Flying light, flying light...... she leaned back and slapped the small parchment flask on the table: "How many people's bones and blood did it dissolve before it passed through thousands of years of soil, was excavated, and sold to you and me?" ”
Fang Liangzhe looked at the mist she exhaled in the cold winter, and her ears like ripe crabs that were blown red by the wind, and went to get her a fox feather coat.
Chen Tongsheng took the clothes, lowered his head and rubbed them for a while, he didn't mean to put them on, Fang Liangzhe hurriedly said: "I didn't do anything about corruption and bribery, this is a good dress for me at the bottom of the box, I haven't worn it seriously, sister fairy, you have helped me so much, don't be polite." ”
"It's not your clothes." Chen Tongsheng said categorically, she is actually not a very serious person, and she often has a smile, but that smile is alienated most of the time, coupled with her quiet and resolute bearing, it makes people dare not get close.
Fang Liangzhe subconsciously wanted to defend herself, but when she saw Chen Tongsheng slowly putting it on, her fox tail collar was soft and fluffy, she turned her head and rubbed it, and said with great satisfaction: "Thank you for me, Master Hou." ”
Fang Liangzhe was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What are you talking about, Master Hou......?" ”
"Didn't he transfer you?" Chen Tongsheng took the file and flipped through two pages, and said: "The term of office here is over, and after returning to Beijing, I will have a high position to rise, this transaction is indeed not a loss, and the future of Fang County's order is indeed limitless." ”
Having said that, there is nothing to say haha, Fang Liangzhe smiled slightly, and asked helplessly: "Master Hou and Sister Fairy have said it in advance?" ”
"Nope."
"You've seen me in Kyoto?"
Chen Tongsheng asked rhetorically: "Where can I see you?" ”
Fang Liangzhe was puzzled, frowned, and suddenly had an epiphany: "You are cheating on me!" ”
"What's the good thing about you?" Chen Tongsheng was happy: "You are a person from Kyoto, white-faced Xiaosheng, who seems to have fine skin and tender meat, but in fact, your palms are covered with calluses, and you are a family member, I am afraid that if there is a snitch, it is not a problem to track at night with a sword." Write well, love to listen to music and write lyrics and paintings, although the clothes you usually wear are simple, but the clothes you brought at the beginning are all exquisite materials, and you must have a lot of money. And how can the children of ordinary good families in Kyoto be allowed to come to such a place? ”
She turned another page in Fang Liangzhe's surprised gaze: "What's more, your parents also wanted to send you to the Mitian Division as a secret guard, right?" After a few years of temporary service in the Secret Guard, his activities will turn regular in the future, and his future will still be unlimited. ”
"How do you know my clothes," Fang Liangzhe said in disbelief, "with the cocoon on my hands? ”
"Do you remember when you first came to Shiyan Mountain and was robbed? The clothes were all turned on the floor. As for the calluses, when I went up the mountain to encircle and suppress the mountain bandits, Fang Xian ordered my feet to slip, and I pulled you. Chen Tongsheng said calmly: "For other things, you can deduce the conclusion after a little observation." ”
