Chapter 13: Buying the Murderer 1
(Cat flutter Chinese) "Well," Li Tian entered the hall, shopkeeper Cheng and Sun Liu hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Yue Niang stood straight on the threshold of the hall with her hands behind her back, paying close attention to the movements around her. The latest free chapters of the book can be found here.
"Scheduled?" Li Tian looked at Sun Liu and asked, Sun Liu nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, it's a long-term entourage named Wang Jiu from Yan Laoer's side who came out to do this murderous thing, the owner can rest assured, it's all right." Sun Liu bowed slightly and looked up at Li Tian.
"Well," Li Tian responded, turned his head to look at the shopkeeper Cheng, but asked about something irrelevant to Feng Ma Niu: "Qingfeng Lou Wenhui, have you heard anything?" ”
"There are many sayings, one is that the official family should cultivate a literary atmosphere, and also let several princes learn a thing or two."
"That's what the officials say." Li Tian interjected,
"Yes, there is another kind, no one says it clearly, the meaning of the words is beyond the words, several princes are older, and the body of the official family is ...... It's not good, I'm afraid it's going to be a good deal. Cheng's shopkeeper's voice was extremely low, Li Tian tightened her cloak, looked at the distant mountains and did not speak, she was more inclined to this statement, the current emperor is a very powerful master, the royal family has never been able to infer with common sense, the more powerful the emperor is, the more he likes to watch and provoke his sons to fight for me, so as to raise the most poisonous Gu King prince to inherit the throne, only pity those people below, I don't know how many pond fish have to die.
"There is another kind, which came out of the palace, saying that the official family let several princes take turns to hold this cultural meeting, so that their brothers are close to each other, and the official family is also in their fifties. Shopkeeper Cheng added his own analysis to it.
Li Tian picked the corners of his mouth and showed a sarcastic smile, deep brotherhood? These six princes and six mothers, before they got out of their mother's womb, they began to intrigue, Qiu Shen is almost the same, the emperor is such a shrewd master, how can he be so stupid.
"Well, is there anything else to say?"
"Nothing else."
"Well," Li Tian wrapped his cloak tightly, lowered his head and slowly turned around twice, looked at the shopkeeper Cheng and ordered: "If the brothers go on a blind date, I want to be a little more prosperous in the past two days, especially the two places of the government and Dali Temple, plus respect for the old and love for the young, family harmony, etc., anyway, it is almost the Spring Festival, these words are just right." ”
"Good!" The shopkeeper Cheng simply responded: "I want to think of something, let the people in the government and Dali Temple hear the palace people say this with their own ears, those officials are the best at touching the meaning of the top, this word reaches their ears, when the case is judged, they have to weigh it carefully, as for the dot, the owner, I don't think it's necessary, we can't reach the top, I'm afraid that it will be a waste of money." ”
"Well, you can discuss this matter with Steward Sun, it's not too early, go back quickly." Li Tian instructed, shopkeeper Cheng agreed, and Sun Liu bowed and retreated, one went back to the mountain, and the other went back to the front mountain.
Li Tian listened to the birdsong in the forest, and slowly walked back, Yue Niang took a big step, stepped out in one step, stopped for a while, and then stepped out of the next step, walking like an old student on the stage wearing high soles and pacing towards his boots, while walking, he asked: "You say, how will these two bastards of the Yan family be judged when they buy murder?" Decollation? ”
"No, it's the second master Yan who bought the murderer, and he has to be exiled according to the law, it depends on whether it's 3,000 miles or 5,000 miles, and he is not going to bring out Uncle Yan in this matter, he is also guilty of not governing his family strictly, but he will be punished for a few years, or a cane, or think about it behind closed doors."
"It's all a hill of mink, you still beat one and let one go, when did you become so merciful?"
"It's not mercy, it's already started to do it to us at this time, there are already two wolves, I don't know how many there are secretly, we're so weak, it's not easy to kill any of them, it's better to keep them, anyway, the meat is just this bite, this one wolf bites, that one doesn't have to eat, I don't believe they don't eat dogs." Li Tian kicked a small stone away. Yue Niang raised her eyebrows, stayed for a moment, and laughed with a 'ha'.
First, it was close to the Spring Festival, and secondly, there were a lot of bad things in the Qingjiang Marquis's mansion, Li Tian didn't dare to delay Mrs. Xu more, stayed for one night, and set off to the capital the next day to rush back.
Fayun Temple to the capital is only ten miles of road, in addition to more than one mile of road along the way, one side is not very high hill, one side is the woods, it is a little remote, the rest of the place is flat and spacious.
Fayun Temple to the capital is a frequent road, Mrs. Xu has her own car, this time is crooked in the carriage to close her eyes and recuperate, she actually wants to live outside Fayun Temple for two more days, as soon as she returns to the house, I don't know how many worries are waiting for it.
In a big car behind sat Li Tian, Yu Yaofang and Lin Ke, Yu Yaofang and Lin Ke were chattering about the girl's body, Li Tian leaned on a half-used Hangzhou silk pillow, listening to the gossip of the two, while paying attention to the movement outside the car.
The car swayed slightly, not very fast, until the sun rose in mid-air, and several cars slowly drove slowly into the hills and trees.
"The second car, the second car!" There was an excited shout outside, followed by a loud 'bang', Li Tian's car and the three of them rushed forward suddenly, Yu Yaofang and Lin Ke screamed in fear, Li Tian pulled one with one hand, raised his foot to kick the car door that was not very tight, and before her foot kicked the car door, the car door was opened from the outside, Yue Niang leaned in, stretched out her hand to hold Li Tian, easily pulled her out and put her on the ground, and then reached out to pull out Yu Yaofang and Lin Ke.
Li Tian hurriedly pushed the two of them and said, "Quick, go up the hill!" Yu Yaofang and Lin Ke were dizzy, and they were pushed by Li Tian, carrying their skirts and running up the hillside one foot deeper.
The three of them ran dozens of steps up the hillside, Li Tian stopped his steps, looked back, the four splashes in front of the car, all of them were wearing miserable green silk shirts, the corner of the long shirt was tucked around the waist, two were wielding knives, two were holding sticks, and a dozen or so long guards fought together, the two horses in front of the car were frightened, and they wanted to escape but were dragged by the overturned car behind them, so they had to neigh desperately, playing the front hooves for a while, and erecting the hind hooves for a while, and the narrow road was chaotic.
Li Tian picked a place with a wide field of vision and stood still, squinted slightly at the four seemingly smart but extremely stupid splashes, and sighed softly, if only those wolves were so stupid. Yue Niang has already helped out Mrs. Xu, so she stood between Li Tian and Mrs. Xu to watch the excitement, such a few splashes, it is enough to have those long followers, she disdains to make a move.
Not far from the back of Li Tian's car, twenty or thirty guards wearing pure black brocade jackets and black cross-legged heads, sturdy and capable, and very neat, surrounded a young man in the middle wearing a silver and blue brocade robe inside and an indigo brocade cloak outside, and came on horseback. The horses were as handsome as the men, and they galloped steadily and quickly, and the cloak of the young man in brocade rose backwards with the wind, shining with the soft light of silk in the bright sunlight.
When a group of people were shot away from the lively overturned place, the horse's speed did not decrease at all, turned around and went straight to the hill next to it, rushed to the highest place, and tightly reined in the horse's head, until the horse's front hooves were lifted high, almost standing, this rush stopped very fast, and in the blink of an eye, a group of people were firmly fixed on the top of the hill.
The young man in brocade who was guarded by the man in black in the middle of the sword eyebrows flew slightly, his eyes were dark and bright, his nose was straight, he looked very heroic and cold, and there was a faint trace of gloom on his body.
The young man in brocade looked at the four miserable green skins surrounded by a dozen or so long entourage, frowned in disgust, looked away, and looked at Mrs. Xu and the others standing on the hillside one by one, and when he saw Li Tian, his eyes stopped, this is just a back, dressed in plain white filial piety, the skirt blown by the wind is slightly raised, like a bluegrass hanging on the cliff, and the wind that cannot be described is revealed in the quiet standing.
In the middle of the road, two people with knives rushed up the hillside for a few steps, turned their heads and shouted at the opposite forest: "That master! Three beauties, which one to kill? ”
The young man in brocade was stunned by this shout, frowned angrily, raised the horsewhip wrapped with gold wire, and signaled: "The messenger of the lord is in the forest, tie them back, tie up those thieves as well, and send them to the government office." The middle-aged guards next to the young man in brocade said yes, raised their hands and ordered two people each, all the way to the woods, all the way to the bottom of the mountain to tie up people.
When Li Tian heard the movement behind him and turned sharply to look at the mountain, at the top of the mountain, the black-clothed guards had already guarded the brocade-clothed youth, urging the horses to run in the direction of the capital.
In this thrilling robbery, Mrs. Xu was the most frightened, and as soon as she breathed a sigh of relief, even the black-clothed guards who rushed down from the hillside with people and horses scared her miserably and fell down, Yue Niang hurriedly grabbed her and comforted: "It's here to save us, look at it, everyone is tied up." Mrs. Xu took a breath at this time, and saw it clearly, just about to breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly remembered her daughter and Li Tian, and her heart suddenly rose to her throat again, holding Yue Niang tightly with one hand, and looking around anxiously: "Yaoyao? Sister Tian? Ke'er? ”
"It's all good, you see, there." Yue Niang looked at Mrs. Xu, who was almost shocked, wanted to laugh but couldn't really laugh, turned her face and pointed at Yu Yaofang and the other three standing on the hillside.
The two black-clothed guards were extremely neat, and the four of them were tied into four green flesh browns in three or two clicks, Mrs. Xu saw that her daughter and Li Tian were so good, and the people were also tied, this heart was finally completely put into the stomach, although the face was still miserable and colorless, but it was already able to stabilize the mind, and respectfully and politely stepped forward and thanked the two black-clothed guards: "Thank you for saving your life, the concubine is the wife of the Hou Shizi of Qingjiang, I don't know which family your master is, save your life, and thank you again when you come to the door with your grandson." ”
"Madame is polite, but with a gesture, there are still the main envoys in the forest," before the words were finished, the two black-clothed guards who rushed into the forest had already rushed out with a human flesh brown child, and the black-clothed guards who were talking turned their eyes back after looking at it, and arched their hands at Mrs. Xu and continued to smile politely: "The master ordered, escort Mrs. and a few little ladies into the city, and then send these thieves to the palace for interrogation, Madame and rest assured." Mrs. Xu hurriedly thanked her. Cat flutter Chinese
