Chapter 243: Half Day (I)
Come, on the North Shore Pier of Wansheng Province
Fang Xin stood on the dock with Xiao Anning, Liuzhu, and four swordsmen
The ferry slowly approached the upper dock, and the passengers were ready to disembark, and the first thing the group encountered was the inspection department.
The inspection department takes the inspection as the nine officials, which is equal to the chief of police, and the official officials below are the patrol arrests, and then below, the patrol ding, all the passengers, must show the exit guide, and on the station, the exit inspection is stamped.
Two patrolmen, and four patrolmen, inspected the passengers' road guides one by one, and stamped with the inspection seal, their eyes revealing a chill.
When the passengers were cleared, the sailors and servants began to remove the garbage from the ship, and soon the large basin of water rushed up, and the garbage was swept directly into the river
"Let's go!" Fang Xin smiled faintly: "Let's take it!" ”
"Yes, sir!" Liao Cheng said, this time, it is a business trip, with a silver medal from the government, regarded as a semi-official person, you can live in a post station along the way, and you can also ask the government to help along the way when it is critical.
Don't underestimate this, the post station is a place for people who pass palace documents and military information or officials who travel to and from the palace to and from the ancient times, and change horses, it is an official institution, and since the establishment of the empire for 200 years, few people dare to attack and kill people in the post station.
Liao Cheng stepped forward and showed the waist card of the public palace guard, and the inspection was immediately polite, as for the boat, it was directly responded, and after a while, he came back: "Sir, the matter has been done." ”
"Very good!" Fang Xin said. This time I was ordained. But it's a matter of the government. Cheng Jia, the manager of the place where he went out to run errands. Disappeared in Zengming County, thousands of miles away. Up to 30,000 taels of cargo were also missing.
Thirty thousand taels. Already a big number. Even the government had to be heartbroken.
Of course. More importantly, authority. Who dares to attack and kill the governor of the government? It has to be figured out. Severe punishment.
Fang Xin this time. That's it.
Wait a moment. Spring is shining. Wait until the deck is dry. Added some water. Fang Xin entered. Slightly trimmed. The boats went down the way.
In the afternoon. Fang Xin stood on the deck. Watch along both sides of the river.
The boat is ornately decorated, with a large area, with cooks, tea, sailors, and even defenses, which are generally used to play on the water, to enjoy the scenery in the water and on both sides, and sometimes to feast and drink.
Tang Liu Xiyi's "Jiangnan Song" once wrote a poem: "The smoke of the painting boat is shallow, and the day of Qingyang is slight." ”
However, it is also possible to sail, and this time it was chartered.
Fang Xin's appearance is thirty, his face is only slightly handsome, his expression is indifferent, and his eyes are deep and unpredictable, so that people don't know that he is not an ordinary person at first sight.
At the command, the mast cloth sails were full, and the painting boat headed for its destination at the speed of a galloping horse.
Fang Xin's eyes fell on the fields on both sides of the river.
At this moment, the ship disappeared, and the group withdrew their sight.
This is the upper floor of a restaurant, just looking at it condescendingly, there are about fifteen people in it, two standing in the core, one is a swordsman, the other is a swordsman, standing like this, you can also feel the terrifying aura on their bodies.
Behind him are ten men and three women, one of the men is more fierce than the other, and the three women, with concave and convex curves, are fascinating, but they can't hide the wind and frost that have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time.
"Listen, everyone, this time, this person must be buried!" In the eyes of the swordsman, a unique awe-inspiring light appeared in the high-rollers of the rivers and lakes: "The other party is a grandmaster, we must attack it in one go." ”
"Big brother, don't worry!" Except for the swordsman, everyone else was respectful.
In ancient times, ships could not travel at night, so although they painted boats, they rushed to Nangang County after traveling for half a day, and although Nangang County was only a county, there were also docks.
Food was originally prepared on the boat, but it had to be replenished along the way, and this time it was supposed to be repaired and replenished one day, but now it was half-requisitioned and half-used, and there was not much food on the ship, so it had to be replenished here, so the group went ashore and arrived at a hotel
Naturally, the people on the boat negotiated with the inn and bought all kinds of food materials.
And Fang Xin and the others entered and went to the dining table inside.
Because they were outside, they ate together, and there were not many travelers, only sixteen or seventeen diners.
The seven people found a seat in the corner of the hall and sat down, and when they swept their eyes, they saw that there were four martial artists on a table, and they only glanced twice, and the martial artist with a knife on the opposite side was a little unfriendly, and his eyes looked at him fiercely, and he stared at the two girls with bright eyes and bright teeth.
It's not this ancient society that simply can't understand how terrible the hierarchy is.
Although Liao Cheng is a third-class guard of the public government, he is also a member of the government, and he has the power to kill and seize the ordinary people.
It's just that Fang Xin didn't speak, so he smiled coldly and didn't pay attention to it anymore.
The four martial artists on the other side, seeing the four swordsmen, also had some scruples, swept a few glances with a sharp gaze, and did not have a seizure at that time, just shouted: "Shopkeeper, serve!" ”
At the moment, both tables were served, eating and drinking, and gradually, the wine on the opposite side came up.
A warrior stared at the two women, snorting insolently on the curvy bodies of the two women
Seeing that the fire in his heart was getting higher and higher, after taking a drink, he suddenly snorted and looked at Fang Xin's table.
"Come, this one, I'll toast you!" His eyes were staring straight at the two women.
Fang Xinyi frowned, and ordered, "Drive this madman out." ”
Liao Cheng and the others, in fact, in the past year and a half, have also gained some benefits, received Fang Xindi's guidance, and their martial arts gradually improved, and when they heard it, it was a slap of lightning, and they only heard a "snap" sound, which resounded throughout the room, and immediately appeared five fingerprints on the person's face.
The man fell out, the wine glass did not fall, the wine spilled, and he was immediately embarrassed, he was stunned at first, and then he realized his situation, and immediately became furious: "Kill these dog thieves!" ”
Liao Cheng sneered, pounced, and spit out a sudden burst of wind and thunder with his palm.
The warrior was immediately slapped in the face, and immediately fell out again, and a mouthful of blood spurted out
Behind, the three swordsmen of the Gongfu slowly held the hilt of the sword, the killing intent was awe-inspiring, they were from the government, what was the big deal to kill a few people?
That table, in the end, is mixed in the rivers and lakes, some vision, the slap can be said to be unprepared, but now this palm shows kung fu, first helped up, found that he was injured, but it was not fatal, the leader said: "Everyone, my second brother just came up to toast, why do you want to do this?" ”
"Hmph, don't quibble with me, if you dare to offend my husband again, you won't be killed!" Liao Cheng's tone was gloomy.
This kind of majestic and domineering momentum, under normal circumstances, only government personnel, it is easy for people to distinguish something, the faces of the four people changed slightly, and after looking at it carefully, they didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly retreated
"Sir, excuse me." When Liao Cheng saw them leaving, he immediately showed a respectful demeanor and said.
"It's okay, I'm done too." Fang Xin said.
Since the painting boat had to be thoroughly cleaned up today and the goods were increased, Fang Xin stayed in an inn for the night.
In this inn, there happen to be four upper rooms, which are packed together, and the others are all large guest rooms, and only rough people will sleep together in those places.
There are four upper rooms, one is of course Fang Xin, one is Xiao Anning and Liuzhu, and two are two swordsmen.
After eating, and washing his feet, it was finally dark, and soon after dark, the wind blew, and the spring thunder shook, and then it began to rain, and it was very dense.
Liuxiu came to serve first, closed all the doors and windows, lit candles, and made the bed for him.
The candle is thin and long, it is a long-lasting candle that can be burned all night, although one light is not very bright, but at three points, the flame is lit, but it is swaying in the breeze that penetrates through the gap, and the light flickers with it, so if you read a book, it is very hurtful.
Fang Xin was drinking tea, and the raindrops hit the tiles, and he said, "Go back to your room!" ”
"Yes, sir." Liuxiu said obediently, opened the door, and left.
Fang Xin finished drinking tea, and at this moment, another spring thunder, in the midst of the spring thunder, a man in black suddenly pounced in from the courtyard outside.
Fang Xin frowned, his figure flew up suddenly, and when he reached the window, the window opened automatically, and he was able to leave the room
The heavy rain was dripping down, and he found four black shadows, two of which were already close to the woman's room, Fang Xin did not hesitate, the sword light flashed, and a black shadow close to the ground realized that the sound was different, and his body turned rapidly, and he felt a pain in front of him, and he was about to take a blow on the acupoint.
Receiving this blow, he snorted, but immediately felt a pain in his heart and fell.
The other black shadow was startled, and felt that the sword light flashed, and Fang Xin, who was three meters away, struck in front of him, and he also snorted and fell to the ground.
Almost at the same time, in the women's room, there was also a sword light, Fang Xin stood in the rain, and the raindrops hit his clothes, but he didn't notice it at all, and he didn't step forward, just watched
A moment later, two black figures fell out and fell to the ground with a "bump".
Fang Xin just felt it, and he knew it, and smiled: "There was no killing!" ”
At this time, of course, the swordsman found out, rushed out, and at a glance, everything was understood.
"Miss didn't kill anyone, you killed it for me." Fang Xin said.
"Yes!" The swordsmen immediately stepped forward, and each of them made up a sword, blood splattered, staining the ground and rain, Fang Xin glanced at it lightly, and returned to the room
Close the window, everything is still in the room, and the wick of the candle is bright.
Although I was soaking wet, I didn't need to change my clothes, and the clothes were dry when a trace of steam came out.
The rain continued to fall, Fang Xin slept calmly, fortunately the rain stopped before dawn, of course, four people died, which alarmed the shop and the local patrol
But the appearance of these four people is theft at first glance, and when Liao Cheng showed the waist card of the government, the inspection who came was very polite, just asked about the situation, and let people go
However, the affairs of the official family are troublesome, although it is very refreshing, and it is also a missed morning, but I still ate a Chinese meal in the store, and was sent out by the shopkeeper who was respectful and did not even accept money - sent out, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief.
And in this half a day, a group of people have already caught up. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to qidiancom, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
