Chapter 243: We have to go and kill it ourselves
The locust plague in Xizhou was wiped out in only ten days, and the people of Xizhou had not eaten enough snacks, so An Ran could not supply them, seeing that there were more and more people in line, An Ran had no choice but to say: "Folks, we should leave tomorrow and stop setting up stalls here, don't come tomorrow." ”
"Wouldn't it? Business is so good, why don't you put it away? "Everyone doesn't understand that this business is doing well, why doesn't the boss make money if he has money, is it stupid?
An Ran smiled and didn't explain.
The restaurant owner who had suffered not far away clasped his hands into fists when he heard this, and snorted coldly: "It's long overdue to go." ”
The guy on the side said: "Boss, do you want to take advantage of their departure from Xizhou and block the road to teach them a lesson?" ”
The restaurant owner knocked his head on the man's head and scolded, "Teach them a lesson, can you beat others?" ”
"Please." The guy touched his head and reminded the boss.
"There's a lot of money, and if you invite people, everyone is leaving, so why bother making trouble." The restaurant owner shook his head and refused.
He didn't buy and sell at a loss.
"Then the boss has endured so many days of losses?" The guy has his own plans, he wants the boss to pay someone to beat these people, one is angry for being beaten that day, and the other is that he has observed the female boss who sells snacks, like a rich man, if he beats the people she brought, and then robs the money, he will definitely gain a lot.
"What else can I do if I can't bear it?" The restaurant owner said, "What time is it?" Are you still a bully? This Xizhou is no longer the Xizhou of the past, what do you think? ”
A guy is a guy, his vision is low, the world has changed, and the officials in Xizhou have also changed, and I thought it was before.
"Okay." Since the boss didn't want to do it, then he found someone else to do it, and the guy glanced at An Ran over there and secretly made up his mind.
On the second day, An Ran and her party packed their luggage and prepared to return to the palace, she and Wei Lin didn't want to disturb the local officials in Xizhou, so they went out of the city as soon as they opened the city gate.
And the lord of Xizhou has just received a letter from the court, saying that the emperor and queen have personally gone to your place for disaster relief, and you must fully cooperate with the emperor and queen, and you must take care of it properly.
Only then did Lord Futai remember that there was a stall on the street that had been collecting locusts these days, and after suddenly realizing it, he hurriedly ran to the street with his officials, and the stall had already been empty.
"Your Majesty, Empress, why don't you let the officials greet you when you arrive?" Lord Futai knelt on the ground in frustration and cried.
"What's wrong, my lord?" The people on the street saw all the officials kneeling on the ground, worshipping and crying at the locust stalls, and they did not understand what was going on.
Lord Futai wiped away his tears, pointed to the empty place where the stall was originally set up, and told the people of Xizhou loudly: "Folks, do you know? It is here, the emperor and the queen mother buy locusts at a high price, so the locust plague in Xizhou will be extinguished so quickly, the emperor and queen are really sympathetic to the people, one hand to fight the disaster, the other hand for the benefit of the people, we should be grateful to the emperor and queen. ”
When everyone heard this, they understood what was going on, and they all knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Thank you to the emperor and queen!" ”
The people of Xizhou thought that the locusts were coming, and the rice in the field would definitely be harvested this year, and they were about to resign themselves to fate, but they didn't expect the emperor and queen to visit them in Xizhou privately, and collect this kind of insect at a high price.
Such an emperor and queen is really a blessing for the people!
It is no wonder that the people in Huainan are singing the praises of the current saint and the queen.
However, they were even luckier, the emperor and queen came in person, and no one recognized them, which is a pity.
It's really a pity for Xizhoubai's surname.
On the way back to Beijing, An Ran lay on Wei Lin's lap and closed his eyes to recuperate, Wei Lin was like a child with ADHD, either caressing her face or touching her head, so that An Ran couldn't sleep well.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped.
"What's wrong?" An Ran saw the carriage stop suddenly, and asked with the curtain raised.
"It's okay, Queen Mother, someone is blocking the way." Xiao Li's father-in-law replied.
"In the way? Is there a mountain bandit? "That's interesting.
An Ran was about to get out of the car, but Wei Lin held her down, "I'll just go." ”
"Your Majesty, you don't need to either, you two just have a good rest in the carriage, with General Gu." Xiao Li's father-in-law didn't take these bandits seriously at all.
Gu Yun was dressed in civilian clothes, and it was really funny to see that these bandits were blind and even dared to stop the carriage of the current emperor and queen.
Without waiting for Gu Yun to speak, the bandit leader opposite spoke with a knife, "If you want to live, leave the money and spare your lives." ”
"What if I don't want to live?" Gu Yun asked.
"Yo, and you're not afraid of death?" The bandit leader didn't take Gu Yun in his eyes, and said contemptuously: "You don't know how powerful your grandfather is, right?" ”
"I don't know, why don't we two try it out?" Gu Yun hugged his chest and said provocatively.
"Okay, let's try to compete." It seems that if they don't give this person a little color, they are really not afraid of him.
As he spoke, the bandit leader drew his sword.
Gu Yun didn't take this bandit leader in his eyes at all, the sword was not out of its sheath, and he only hooked his fingers and asked him to attack first.
How have the bandit leaders ever seen the robbers so arrogant? Immediately raised a knife to kill.
Gu Yun dodged, and when he was about to hook the foot of the bandit leader, who knew that this person was so cunning, and a poisonous snake suddenly appeared out of his left hand for some reason, which frightened Gu Yun's face changed greatly, and he retreated again and again, but he still couldn't dodge and was bitten by the snake.
Everyone panicked, "Beware of snakes." Then he surrounded the carriage of the emperor and queen. China Library
An Ran and Wei Lin lifted the curtain at the same time, and saw that the bandits were holding a poisonous snake in their hands.
"I know I'm afraid, acquaintance, hand over the money, give you the antidote, and let you go." The bandit leader said triumphantly.
Yesterday, a guy went up the mountain to do a business with him, saying that a team of gold owners came to Xizhou, and brought more than a dozen practitioners, and left Xizhou this morning, asking them if they dare to do a vote?
What is there to dare to do, what about practicing the family, no matter how high the martial arts are, as long as the person with high martial arts is poisoned by his snake, in order to cure the medicine, he has to obediently hand over all the silver, who doesn't want to live.
"Despicable!" Gu Yun covered his neck and scolded.
The bandit leader threw the snake in his hand towards Gu Yun, and was about to kick him, when suddenly, a figure flashed past him, and in the next second, the snake in his hand was cut in half.
Before he could react, a cold sword was pressed against his neck.
"The big boss." The bandits panicked.
But what was even more panicked was the people on Wei Lin's side, and everyone rushed up directly and shouted: "Escort, escort!" ”
"What kind of protection, your emperor's martial arts are not more than enough to deal with these people." An Ran sat outside the carriage with a good show.
"You ...... Who are you? When the bandit leader heard these people shouting for escort, he panicked.
"Guess!" An Ran said with a smile.
"No...... It won't be ...... It's the emperor, right? The bandit leader's legs began to tremble.
"Congratulations, you guessed it! But there was no reward. An Ran clapped his hands.
Before the ...... could be begged for mercy by the bandit leader, Wei Lin's sword wiped his neck.
When the bandit Luo Yu saw that the big boss was dead, and they were still robbing the current emperor, he was so frightened that he still had the heart to rob, and he wanted to escape when he put away the poisonous snake.
However, before they could lift their feet, the woman who was talking in the carriage swept directly over their heads, and with a wave of her long sword, the three of them died.
When the other soldiers saw that the emperor and queen had made a move, no one was outdone and beheaded the bandits who had robbed them.
Wei Lin took out the antidote from the bandit leader's body, fed Gu Yun it, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay." ”
"Your Majesty, the last general is really embarrassed today." Gu Yun's face was lost.
Wei Lin smiled indifferently and said, "It's okay, don't underestimate the enemy in the future." ”
"Yes!" Gu Yun's face was so red that he couldn't wait to get into the cracks in the ground.
The bandits and poisonous snakes were all killed, and An Ran complained to these soldiers, "You guys are very fast at grabbing people's heads, and I haven't even been happy with them." ”
A soldier saw an acquaintance in the corpse of the bandit, pointed to the man and asked, "Look, is this one of the people who is making trouble for us on Xizhou Street?" ”
Everyone came up to take a look, and the more they looked, the more familiar they became, and they all nodded yes.
"It seems that those restaurant owners are taking advantage of us to go out of the city and want to murder our emperor and queen on the road."
"How is that possible?" An Ran vetoed: "The people here are familiar with this person, and no one else has seen them, and you see, except for this person, they all have a poisonous snake hidden in their bodies, this person is not with them, let alone sent by the owner of the Xizhou restaurant, it is estimated that this kid is greedy for money, and told these bandits the information about our departure from the city to get a piece of the pie." ”
"I think the queen is right, it can't be sent by those restaurant owners, how dare they dare to do it, besides, they have a shop in Xizhou, doing this kind of robbery, not afraid of the government arresting them?"
"That's it, they make trouble on the street, and they just dare to smash a pot and kill people, how dare they do it?"
"Okay, okay, don't analyze, it's just a few bandits, let's go back to Beijing." Wei Lin sheathed his sword.
"No!" Everyone packed their things.
"Huh, fellow!" An Ran saw a fellow villager passing by and hurriedly stopped him.
When the man saw so many people dead on the ground, he was so frightened that he was about to run, but was stopped by An Ran.
"Don't be afraid, fellow, we are not bad people, we were almost robbed by these bandits here just now, but they underestimated our strength, but we were wiped out, can you do me a favor?"
When the fellow heard that all the bandits were dead on the ground, he said with palpitations: "You killed all the bandits?" ”
"yes, you can check it out." Enron said.
"They...... They're amazing. The fellow walked over and glanced at the corpse on the ground tremblingly, and suddenly shouted: "Really, it's really the bandits killed by the sky on Liangshan, great, I'll go tell the villagers to go!" ”
"Wait, wait!" An Ran hurriedly grabbed the startled fellow and took out two taels of silver from his arms, "Can you tell the villagers at the same time, and then report to the official?" ”
"Reporter?" The man didn't know why.
"Yes, this bandit leader was killed by us, but there should be other bandits on Liangshan, right? This leader is dead, and tomorrow they will elect another leader, and you can help us report to the government, and the government will get rid of them. ”
The fellow shook his head, "The government can't help them, if they could suppress the bandits on Liangshan, they would have done it a long time ago, madam, you don't know, the bandits on Liangshan don't know how evil they have done and how many people they have robbed." ”
"So arrogant?" An Ran looked at Wei Lin, "Then we have to go and kill it ourselves, anyway, I haven't practiced for a long time." ”
"Hmm." Wei Lin has no opinion.
