Yuzhang City is not far from Haiyang City, a day and a night away to arrive, at the beginning of the day to the outside of the city, because of the fear of startling the grass and snakes, so they did not rush into the city, but outside the city while inquiring about the news while waiting for Yunfei them.
There is a row of small vendors by the moat outside the city gate, specializing in selling things to passing guests, there are simple tea sheds, wine shops, most of them are stalls selling steamed buns and baked cakes, and some sell small items, and there are many customers.
Tianchu and Bai Yue came to the tea shed, found a corner where no one paid attention, asked for a pot of Longjing and a plate of dried fruits, and listened to the people around them while drinking tea.
"Have you heard? Yesterday, the Marquis of Tai'an from the Pingdu Marquis Mansion also entered the city to see the king of Luojun, and he hasn't come out yet. A fat man next to him suddenly whispered.
"The Marquis of Tai'an is also bold enough, I don't believe he hasn't heard about the Marquis of Haidu, it has already been rumored, and he dares to come?" Next to the fat man was an older man, who spoke very carefully and spoke in a very low voice.
"What's wrong with the Marquis of Haidu? I came from the sea dusk, I heard that the Hou Ye had already gone back, but I don't know why he suddenly died, the current Haiyang Hou is his three-year-old son, do you say a doll can manage a city? It's just kidding! Another person with a different accent than the locals clattered.
"A three-year-old doll? Really? The fat man smiled.
"Of course it's true, what's strange, our Marquis Liu has been in poor health since he was a child, and it is not easy to live at this age, but I pity the little Marquis." The outsider said with a sigh.
"That's not right, it's not like this in the city, I heard that the Marquis of Hailun died on the night he came to see the king of Luojun, and someone saw it with his own eyes? How can a dead man go back to the sea and dusk? The fat man gasped and exclaimed.
"Shhhh Be quiet, you don't want to die, if the officers and soldiers hear this, they will be killed. The old man was frightened enough, and quickly looked around, and found that no one was paying attention to them, so he said mysteriously, "The rumors in the city are true. ”
Tianchu and Bai Yue glanced at each other, then pricked up their ears and quietly moved in their direction.
There were four people eating at the table, and it seemed that three of them were locals, including the fat man, the old man, and one who was not very interested in their talking, and only lowered his head to eat, and they all seemed to have come to pick up a friend, that is, the outsider from Haidu.
At the beginning of the day, they happened to borrow the light to listen to the old man and the fat man tell this outsider about what they had seen and heard in the city, and they happened to hear what they wanted to hear.
"Brother, it's just a rumor, why are you so sure? Could it be that you saw it with your own eyes? The outsiders were aroused by the old man's interest and urged the old man to continue.
I heard the old man first say to the fat man: "Do you remember a month ago, a group of prisoners were gagged and executed? ”
"Remember, isn't there your nephew among those three? I heard that it was a robbery of the people's daughter, and was ordered to be executed by King Yuzhang, hey, big brother, the old king asked you about the Marquis of Haidu, how did it get involved in the ugly matter of your family? The fat man kept waving his hand, and he thought the old man was messing around.
"Whew! Splash dirty water on my nephew's head! Don't you know who my nephew is? We all watched him grow up, he read the books of the sages, he was a noble and kind person, how could he do such a depraved depravity? The old man poured a sip of wine and slapped the table on the air.
The old man suddenly slapped the table, attracting many curious eyes around him, the fat man quickly got up, smiled and hugged his fists and said to the people around him: "I'm sorry to scare everyone, my brother is in a bad mood today, forgive me!" Forgive me! ”
The old man also realized that he had lost his temper, and quickly lowered his head and took a sip of wine, and after the fat man sat down, he counted a few words from the old man, and then they deliberately quieted for a while in order not to attract attention.
They didn't talk about it halfway, and they made Tianchu and Bai Yue anxious, and seeing that a pot of tea was about to run out, this conversation was picked up by the outsider again.
"Brother, is your nephew ...... Was it wronged? ”
"Of course it is, two of my nephew's classmates came to visit him that day, and the three of them went out to eat and drink together, but they didn't go home after dark, and my sister-in-law was worried that my son was drunk outside and didn't know the way, so she called me to look for it, and I saw my nephew and three people went out of the tavern and went to the west gate, I still wondered, the home is in the south, why go west?" The old man sighed, took a sip of wine, his eyes turned red, and he seemed to be very remorseful.
This time, the man who had been eating and didn't speak also put down his chopsticks, and the three of them listened quietly.
"I didn't dare to call them in the dark, for fear of scaring them a few offspring, so I kept secretly following behind, and I saw them go out of the city and into the woods, and they didn't go far away, hiding behind a tree and looking at something, although I hid not far from them, but it was too dark to see what they were looking at." The old man's voice had begun to choke.
"At this moment my nephew suddenly jumped out from behind the tree, pointed ahead and shouted, 'Thief! You killed the Marquis of Haidu! I'm going to report to the police! 'Why do you think my nephew is so stupid, he rarely even speaks loudly, how can he be so bold after drinking a little wine!' Ay! The old man took another sip of wine, this time not daring to slap the table, and slammed his fist on his chest in remorse.
"Marquis of the Dusk? Really dead? The guy who knew how to eat finally came out with his first words.
"Don't interrupt, eat your meal!" The fat man picked up a steamed bun and plugged the foodie's mouth.
"At that time, I didn't think about this, I was afraid that my nephew would suffer, and I wanted to rush up to help him, but the gang pulled out a big knife and chased the nephew and the three of them, my stupid nephew also said that he wanted to report to the official, but who would have thought that the people chasing them were officers and soldiers!" As soon as the old man's words came out, even Tianchu and Bai Yue were shocked.
"The three of my nephews ran fast when they were young, and in a blink of an eye they ran to the city, and my old arms and legs couldn't keep up, so I went to see what the officers and soldiers were doing in the woods after they ran away, and guess what?" Lao Jun's eyes widened in horror.
"What's wrong?" The three of them said in unison.
"Those officers and soldiers came out in the middle of the night to bury people, I picked up the soil and looked at it, and saw that the person was really the Marquis of Haidu, but he ...... He's horrible, horrible! The old man seemed to think of something that made him uncomfortable, and he held his head and began to tremble.
