Chapter 14: Half a Corpse
The shopkeeper replied: "It was early the morning before yesterday, as for the officials, my little old man, a flat-headed commoner, where did I find out, but it looks like a big official who has returned to his hometown, and went to the west." “
Lu Yan frowned, before the post station was burned down, there were several carts full of things pulled out from here, and this matter was strange. said to Zhu Yixiang: "Have you rested enough?" We're on our way! ”
Zhu Yixiang begged with a bitter face: "Take a break!" But seeing Lu Yan's serious face, he hurriedly changed his words: "Hey! Enough rest, enough rest! Childe, you go this way, and the little one will give you a salute! ”
Leaving the tea shop, the two went all the way to the west, inquiring along the way, and met a woodcutter on the way, saying that when he was chopping wood in the mountains, he saw a convoy passing, and the two looked for it in the direction that the woodcutter said.
This is a remote path, rugged and difficult to walk, and the average person should not choose such a path.
Zhu Yixiang is a useless reader, unlike Lu Yan, who can be literate and martial, walking dozens of miles of mountain roads and still walking like flying without panting, walking for about two hours, Zhu Yixiang felt that the land lord was holding his feet, and he couldn't open his legs, looked up at the figure of Lu Yan striding meteor in front of him, and felt that if he caught up with him, he would have to be tired and wasted, so he simply sat on the side of the road and shouted at Lu Yan: "I can't walk, Lord Qianhu!" ”
Lu Yan turned around and saw Zhu Yixiang sitting on the side of the road like a piece of mud, his face flushed and sweating profusely, and he wanted to let him take a break, but he looked like he was going to be a scoundrel, so he said: "What a waste!" ”
Hearing Lu Yan's evaluation of himself, Zhu Yixiang's temper also came up, and he said indignantly: "Hey! Senhe-sama, I didn't come, but you forced me to come out with you, and now you blame me for being a waste! Don't you have a gang of henchmen under you, why do you have to let me, a waste of you, come out with you! ”
As for why Lu Yan brought Zhu Yixiang with him this trip, it was because he felt that Zhu Yixiang's brain melon was easier to use, and he didn't have to tell him many things, he understood it with one look!
Although his other subordinates are loyal and obedient to him, they lack the cleverness of Zhu Yixiang.
However, Lu Yan is not a person who likes to praise people, and when he saw Zhu Yixiang's rogue energy, he was even more lazy to say a good word. "Okay, since you are so unwilling, I won't force you, you just rest here, I'll go first!" After saying that, he turned around and left.
Zhu Yixiang watched Lu Yan walk away on the side of the road, and he panicked inexplicably, the Gao Fenggao boss who wanted to kill him hadn't caught it yet, what if he followed him all the way and waited for him to be singled? The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became, and I got up from the ground with a grunt and shouted: "Lord Qianhu, you wait for me, the villain is loyal to you, and I am willing to smear your liver and brains for you, whether it is to walk dozens of miles of mountain roads, or to go up and down the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, the villain is not afraid, you must not leave the villain!" As he spoke, he was about to catch up, when suddenly something bright shook him, and he almost fell again.
"What's that?" Zhu Yixiang took a look at the grass and immediately screamed!
Lu Yan, who was walking in front, heard Zhu Yixiang's screams, thought that something had happened, and hurriedly turned around and ran back, but saw Zhu Yixiang rushing towards him like a bear, breaking directly into his arms, holding his body with one hand, and pointing to the grass with the other and shouting: "Dead man-dead man-There is half a dead man in the grass-"
"What do you mean by half a dead man?" Lu Yan pulled the octopus-like Zhu Yixiang down from his body, and when he opened the grass, it turned out that his so-called half of a dead person was just an arm with a knife!
Lu Yan took out a handkerchief from his arms, fiddled with half of his arm on the ground, and looked at it carefully.
Zhu Yixiang, who was standing next to him, saw the casual appearance of Lord Qianhu, and said in his heart that he was really the living king of Hades, and he couldn't compare, so it was better to hide far away, and he retreated step by step, and suddenly tripped over something under his feet, and the whole person sat down, and scolded in his heart, "Damn!" Pulling away the weeds under his feet, he saw that what tripped him just now was a round head, which had been half rotted, and white maggots were drilling in and out of his nostrils, and a pair of big round eyes were staring at him, with a dead expression.
"Ahh
Lu Yan was checking this half of his arm, and when he heard Zhu Yixiang's more miserable scream, he turned his head to look, and saw him running and hitting his head on the trunk of a tree on the side of the road, and then the whole person fell to the ground softly, completely buried in the wild grass.
This road is very deserted, and the weeds on the side of the road grow wildly, more than half a person high, and if you don't care about him, it is estimated that no one will find out that he died here. Lu Yan thought for a while, got up and dragged Zhu Yixiang deep into the grass, and cut some grass to cover him as a cover. I put a signal to pop up first, gather people to come over, and go around to check it myself!
Zhu Yixiang had a nightmare, first dreamed of an arm holding a bright knife chasing him and chopping, he ran desperately, ran and ran, and there was a head in front of him blocking the way, he didn't know what to do, and he heard a burst of "brush brush brush!" in his ears. It seemed to be the sound of wheat being cut, and then he saw rows of people being cut down with a scythe by a giant.
"Ah......h
The brocade guard turned his head happily and shouted behind him: "Great, this is still a living mouth!" ”
Zhu Yixiang hurriedly got up from the ground, and scolded the captain angrily: "What kind of life, I was originally alive, what did you want to do just now?" Do you want to cut me like grass? ”
When he got up, the lieutenant saw that it was Zhu Yixiang, and said angrily: "Lord Qianhu is busy going around, you are good, you are lazy to sleep here!" ”
"Who said that I was lazy to sleep, I wasn't ......" Although the matter of being stunned by a dead person is nothing to ordinary people, it is not an ordinary person in the Jinyi Guard, especially Lu Yan's subordinates, who are all bulls and horses under the king of Yama, let them know that they don't know how long they will be ridiculed, so it's better not to say it." If it weren't for me, Lord Qianhu would have made such a big discovery, and I would be the first contributor to this matter, so you can be polite in future conversations! ”
"Cut!" The school captain is obviously disdainful of Zhu Yi Lane, a useless person who is favored by a thousand households, this school captain heard some rumors today, saying that their wise and martial master Qianhu is a broken sleeve, and he has taken a fancy to this boy with fine skin and tender meat, and he didn't see anyone in Zhuyi Lane last night, and he went to the master of a thousand households!
The sky can be seen, how could their wise and martial Lord Qianhu be a broken sleeve, it must be this faceless and skinless kid who is entangled with their Lord Qianhu! So he looked at Zhu Yixiang's eyes, in addition to disdain, there was also a trace of contempt!
Zhu Yixiang automatically skimmed the white eyes of the captain and asked, "What about Lord Qianhu?" ”
"Lord Qianhu found a big pit in the mountains two miles away where the dead were buried, and he and Hu Baihu went there! What kind of thing you are, you know it in your heart, it's best to pestering a thousand households less! After saying that, the lieutenant went on to mow the grass!
"Hey! I ...... "Zhu Yixiang was inexplicably damaged by this lieutenant, dare to say what am I?" Speaking out scared your ancestors to death for eighteen generations!
At this time, the fat Zhixian who realized it was carried over by a swaying small sedan chair, and when he got off the sedan chair, his legs were weak and he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, it was Zhu Yixiang next to him who quickly helped him.
"County master, your concubine is very good at kung fu, if you can't eat some sheep whip to nourish your kidneys!" Zhu Yixiang quipped. In the morning, when I saw this county master, he was still a healthy fat man who was smooth and smooth, and before Shen Shi (3-5 o'clock in the afternoon), he became a poor fat man who was white and weak.
The county magistrate's face was full of sadness, "Brother Zhu, it's time for this, don't take my brother!" The county lord felt that he had been unfavorable recently, how could all the murders come out of his own jurisdiction, if it was ten miles away, he would have arrived in a neighboring county, how could it be in his own county! It's time to go to the temple to add some incense money to the Bodhisattva's burning pillar and high incense, and buy peace!
"Brother, relax!"
"First the post station was burned, and now there is such a big homicide, how can I relax!"
"It's a big deal to compensate this oily and slippery head to the imperial court, like your head, a top two, kill your imperial court and earn one!"
As soon as he heard this, the magistrate hurriedly pulled his sleeve and cried: "Brother Zhu! Brother Zhu! This time, you have to help my brother and me say a few good words in front of Lord Qianhu, this case is ...... I don't know anything! ”
Zhu Yixiang really can't understand, how can this fat Zhixian feel that he is a celebrity in front of Lu Qianhu! However, the most important thing now is not to correct the wrong perception of Fat Zhixian, but who these severed arms and stumps are.
stopped joking with him, and asked seriously: "I heard that a big official passed by the day before yesterday, do you know which official it is?" ”
Fat Zhixian looked dazed, and the master next to him was worried about him and said: "It's Lord Zuo Xianzuo, who recently resigned due to illness and returned to his hometown, passing through the territory!" ”
