Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Resurrection of Murder
Chenghuang Street is a small goods trading street in Taixu City. The wide bluestone street more than 50 zhang long is full of people from the countryside who come to the city to sell goods, because of the good quality and low price, many people also love to come here to buy goods.
As soon as I entered this street, there was an endless stream of shouting, shouting, and bargaining.
Li Yanzhi found an open space with Uncle Jin, Aunt Hua, and Sister Wei, put large bags of mountain goods on the ground, and began to become a member of the army of practicing stalls.
"Hey, let's let go, let's let go, put up a notice to arrest Jiangyang thieves. ”
Not long after Li Yanzhi and the others sat down, a few people from the yamen who were dressed up came to Chenghuang Street, holding a stack of portraits in their hands, about a dozen or so. Pull away the dense crowd of small vendors and start putting signs on the walls.
Originally, Li Yanzhi didn't pay attention to them, because he was racking his brains to think about what to say, so that he could leave Uncle Jin and them and go to other places to have a good time.
But when the wandering gaze unconsciously fell on a portrait that had just been pasted on the wall, he was slightly stunned at first, and then suddenly strode to the portrait, and looked at the portrait carefully, with an extremely shocked expression on his face.
I saw the person in the portrait, with thick eyebrows and a round face, and a long scar on his right forehead, which looked a little hideous.
Who else would be there if it wasn't Li Yanzhi's savior!!
Li Yanzhi looked at this portrait in a daze, with a look of disbelief in his eyes--my life-saving benefactor is the Jiangyang thief?!
"What's the matter, little brother, do you know this person?" At this time, a person dressed as a headcatcher with a slightly chubby figure and narrowed eyes came to Li Yanzhi and asked.
Li Yanzhi hurriedly laughed: "How can I catch the head, big brother, I just see that he looks very vicious, so take a few more looks." What has he done to this person? Come, the big brother eats two pecans to moisten his throat. ”
Li Yanzhi grabbed a handful of walnuts from the mountain goods and began to talk.
The head catcher is named Bao today, he is a fat catcher with a very happy appearance, and he is also a talker, and when he heard this, he peeled the walnuts while chattering with two mouths: "Little brother, I can tell you, this Jiangyang thief is called Wan Changsheng, he looks vicious, and he is even more fierce." Rape, robbery, looting, burning, killing, and robbery are simply all evil, and so far there are no less than 100 human lives that have been harmed, and there are countless ruined girls. ”
As if he was afraid that his words were not thorough enough, Bao pointed to the portrait with a fat finger today, and said: "See, I have posted a total of fourteen portraits, let me tell you this, the other thirteen people combined, are not as bad as him." Such a scumbag is not an exaggeration to break thousands of corpses!"
"Little brother, what's wrong with you, are you stupid?" Bao didn't react when he saw Li Yanzhi for a long time today, just looked like he was very surprised with his mouth wide open, so he patted the latter's arm very understandingly and said. Then he straightened his clothes, walked towards the other arresters, and continued to post the arrest papers.
At this moment, Li Yanzhi's brain was blank -- how did the life-saving benefactor he had always been very concerned about and whose whereabouts were unknown become a heinous Jiangyang thief? Why would such a Jiangyang thief not hesitate to give up an arm to save his masked self?
No, there must be something wrong! Either the savior has a twin brother, or this Wan Changsheng! Or it's just a little similar to the portrait, and it's not the same person......
For a while, Li Yanzhi had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and he never thought that the life-saving benefactor was a Jiangyang thief.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Li Yanzhi's mind that he had almost forgotten to the back of his mind-
Anyway, the night I went back to the village to get drunk, I saw a puppet in Aunt Hua's room, and it seemed to be a little similar to the savior......
Then, Li Yanzhi turned his head to look at Aunt Hua with some doubts and no need to be in charge.
saw the other party bow his head suddenly, fiddling with pecans as if nothing happened, and pulling and pulling the dates......
Li Yanzhi shook his head and sighed, secretly saying that he was ridiculous, Aunt Hua, an old woman from the countryside, what would it have to do with this matter.
However, the mystery about the life-saving benefactor has always lingered in my mind.
"Zhi'er, I picked a lot of spiritual grass from the Kaishan Stone to sell, and my stall will be handed over to you. At this time, Uncle Jin pointed to the empty cloth bag in his hand and said, as if there was really spiritual grass in it. Then he stuffed the flat pole he held in his hand into Li Yanzhi's hand without saying anything, and left.
The heavy flat shoulder started, and Li Yanzhi was speechless for a long time.
"Zhi'er, Tianxiang Pavilion has a lot of new rouge gouache, I'm going to go shopping, and my stall will be handed over to you. Aunt Hua followed closely and said with a smile.
Li Yanzhi looked at her swarthy and wrinkled face, and couldn't imagine what Aunt Hua would look like when she rubbed rouge gouache, and couldn't help but be speechless for a while.
"Zhi'er, I'm going to play music and sell art. A smile appeared on Wei Yinyin's delicate face, and he dropped a sentence lightly, and left with Uncle Jin and Aunt Hua.
Li Yanzhi: ......
Sister Wei, aren't you afraid that others will tear down your stage!
Li Yanzhi was silent for a moment - originally he wanted to go to the Qinglou and find a reason to leave, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the three elders left, leaving him alone to watch the stall. And the reason for each person is also wonderful.
Li Yanzhi deeply felt that the three elders were unreliable.
More unreliable than him.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way, don't get in the way!" At this time, there was a noisy noise behind Li Yanzhi.
It turned out to be a long procession of more than 20 people, riding a tall horse, through the streets with great vigor and grandeur, and the slightest unavoidable trader was scolded at the lightest, and at worst he was whipped with his head up, so fierce.
At the end of the procession were two large carts, which seemed to be loaded with a lot of goods.
"These eight kings and calves, relying on the power of Zhao Gonggong in the court, showing off their power every day and harming the township, are really hateful!"
"Baotou'er, don't say it, let them know, we will all be in danger. Let's go, let's go, out of sight is pure. A timid and fearful catcher behind Bao Jin, trembling, grabbed Bao Jinjin and pulled him out of the street.
Li Yanzhi looked at the group of people, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and a person with an extremely blue face and a hideous scar appeared in his sight - it was actually a blue-faced man!
However, although Li Yanzhi saw the blue-faced man, the blue-faced man did not notice Li Yanzhi, but rode a high-headed horse and passed in front of Li Yanzhi proudly.
Poof!
When the carriage pulling the goods passed by Li Yanzhi, something suddenly fell from the cart - a slender shape, wrapped in thick cloth, about the width and height of a person.
The two subordinates who followed on foot looked unnatural for a moment, and then hurriedly carried the "goods" onto the car.
Unexpectedly, there was a "stab", and a corner of the thick cloth was torn from the beginning. Part of the "goods" inside suddenly fell into Li Yanzhi's eyes.
Li Yanzhi's pupils contracted violently, and while gasping in his heart, he actually gave birth to a thick anger.
