Chapter 5: The Man Dan of the Plague Country

There was a moment of dead silence at the scene, some of us were opening our mouths to say something, some were wiping tears with our sleeves, and some were laughing with joy on our backs. Yes, how could they forget that in Qi Yuan Kingdom, criticizing the imperial court officials would be convicted, let alone the emperor's relatives, authentic dragon sons and grandsons.

Everyone shrunk their necks and sat quietly in their seats, not daring to say anything, thinking about whether they had just said anything too excessive, whether they had been heard by others, most of them saw the guy who ran out to report to the official, and they were afraid that they would be burdened. Only the drunk man who was shrunk in the corner staggered to his feet, he took the wine jug, raised his head and took a big sip, wiped his mouth, leaned his back against the wall, and smiled at the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper Liu, you have to see clearly, it was me Li Shusheng who just criticized the third prince of the dynasty, don't report the wrong person." After speaking, he took another sip of wine, and a pair of eyes that had been drunk and dreaming for many years were full of brilliance, bright and scary.

Ling Qi grabbed his little sister's hand and shook his head at her, stopping her from wanting to intercept the shopkeeper, "Yue'er, no need, he already has a will to die." ”

Shuangyue slowly retracted her feet, hung her head, and sat back without saying a word, always feeling a little disappointed.

One of the most fierce people who had just followed the scolding stood up, "Brother Li, I also have a share of this matter, how can I let you bear it alone, I... ”

"You are old and young, and you have to take the test to gain fame and ask for your life for the people, and I am alone, and now I have a big revenge, it's time to go and see my wife, she must have waited for me for a long time, and this incident was caused by me." When it comes to the lady, the drunk's eyes are full of tenderness.

"Brother Li is righteous, and I, Cui Maoyan, will live up to Brother Li's expectations." After saying that, the man turned around and walked towards the door of the inn, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but rush over later, and let down Brother Li's good intentions.

After him, several more scholars and men walked over to thank him, and then they all put down the food money and left, but except for the scholar surnamed Cui, no one said that they would bear it with the drunk.

Soon there were a few tables of people left on the first floor of the inn, which was in stark contrast to the full seats just now, and people were all seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and they were also the most selfish.

The younger of the other two assassins, who hadn't spoken much along the way, laughed, "Idiot. "It should be because in the eyes of these assassins, how to keep themselves alive is the most important thing, the world is big, there is the greatest life, they don't understand what some people insist on, what they protect, what they believe.

After a while, the panting shopkeeper ran in, followed by four officials, and the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him.

"It's the official you reported, and someone dares to criticize the current three princes here?" One of them, who seemed to be the leader, asked, his expression very vicious.

"Yes, the official, it is the official of the villain's report, then Li Shusheng criticized the third prince in the villain's shop, and the villain reported to the official when he heard it, which has nothing to do with the villain." The shopkeeper nodded his head, with a fat face, smiling so much that his eyes couldn't see, and he also took out four money bags and stuffed them to the four officials one by one, and the weight of the officials led by him looked particularly sufficient.

"Very good, it seems that you are the shopkeeper and you are very law-abiding, and this matter must have nothing to do with you. The official weighed the money bag in his hand, and his horizontal face looked more amiable, "Then where is Li Shusheng, he won't run away." ”

"How could it be, how dare Li Shusheng run when he heard that you were coming, and now the one standing in the corner is it." Shopkeeper Zhang led the four officials to the drunk.

Shuangyue looked at the scene that happened not far away, and remembered that on the day she and her brother received the news of their parents' deaths three years ago, several cousins and cousins who were kind to her and her brother on weekdays showed their ugly faces to them, and even united with the prefect to divide their Ling family's wealth, encroached on Maple Leaf Villa and drove her and her brother out of the house, at that time she and her brother stood at the gate, watching several uncles grovel to the corrupt official, servile and laughing, at that time she was thinking how there could be such a disgusting person, Such a person can live a good life, but a good person like her father and mother has fallen into the stigma of a martial arts scum, died without a corpse, and finally lost all the family property, and the children were sold into slavery.

Feeling a warmth in her hands, Shuangyue turned her head and looked into her brother's gentle eyes, which were full of pity, she wanted to cry, but she couldn't, she swore to be strong, to avenge her father, and turned her head As if nothing happened, she looked at the life that was about to end.

The leader of the official said evilly, "You are Li Shusheng, that's the one... ”

The drunk man finished the last sip of wine, threw the flask in his hand, stood up straight and interrupted: "That's what I said, that dog thief deserves to die." ”

"You, you really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and you still don't repent, arrest me." The chief official is in a hurry.

The drunken man smiled and strode out of the inn fearlessly, even though he was escorted, his spine was still as tall as a green pine.

"Alas, I'm finally gone, fortunately it didn't affect me, this Li Shusheng also deserves it, phew!" Shopkeeper Zhang took out the handkerchief in his arms and wiped the sweat on his head, scolded and looked at Li Shusheng and his party who were walking away, and was about to go to the back kitchen to eat a big pig's trotters to suppress the shock, but he didn't expect to collide with Xiao Er behind him as soon as he turned his head.

"What are you doing, kid, standing behind me sneaky." The shopkeeper lifted his sleeves and scolded his head and face.

Xiao Er didn't dare to get angry, licking his face and flattering, "Hehe, didn't I come to you to ask for money?" Didn't you just say that whoever goes to report to the government will be rewarded with a penny? I just ran a short distance, you see me... ”

"Bounty? Lao Tzu, I just lost ten taels of silver, where to go in, who am I looking for to ask for silver, get out, what should I do, why should I go. The shopkeeper Zhang had a big belly, turned his face ruthlessly, and a series of very smooth words.

"Yes, here we go." Xiao Er muttered in a low voice: "Didn't they all say yes?" This kind of dishonest boss will pill sooner or later. As he spoke, he put the handkerchief on his shoulder and walked towards the door, just in time to see two people dressed as housekeepers walking in, and hurriedly ran over with a smile on his face: "Yo, two guest officers, are you going to be a sharpener or staying in a hotel?" "It doesn't look like it's coming out of a small house

"We still have to hurry up, and we need a place in the corner of the two tables, and the good food and meat can come up." The tall man explained loudly, and then ordered the short man next to him: "You go and invite the young lady out, we will eat here at noon today." After speaking, he didn't wait for the short man to speak, so he let Xiao Er lead the way to the table in the corner, passing by Shuangyue, they also deliberately took a few more glances at this table, especially Shuangyue, who was sitting on the outside, and looked at it twice, it was really good-looking, no worse than which eldest lady in their family.

Ling Qi frowned, clenched the sword in his hand, glared at the tall man, and said in a deep voice, "It's all eaten, then let's go!" ”

Shuangyue and the three of them all nodded, and Shuangyue, who was sitting outside, took the lead in getting up, and as soon as she turned around, she saw a girl in a pink dress and a hood falling upside down towards her, and Shuangyue had no choice but to stretch out her hand to help her, and said softly: "Girl, stand carefully." ”

But the strange thing is that the girl didn't answer, and fell backwards with her head diagonally at the moment when Shuangyue let go. Shuangyue only heard a crisp "knock", and saw the girl fall to the ground, and her head seemed to hit the corner of the table placed diagonally behind her.

"Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you." Two little girls suddenly ran from the door, knelt on the ground and shook the woman, seeing that the woman did not respond, they lifted the woman from the ground and saw that the hat was full of blood, and they were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they took off the hat, only to find that the woman's face was pale, her lips were blue, her eyes were closed, her breath was weak, a big hole was broken on her forehead, and the wound was hideous, and she was bleeding non-stop.

Seeing this, Ling Qi hurriedly pulled his little sister to his side, and Shuangyue only reacted at this moment, with a dumb voice: "Brother, she won't... ”

The sharp screams of the two little girls soon attracted the attention of everyone on the first floor, the tall man also walked over, and the short man also brought a forty or fifty-year-old old mother over, the old mother walked in as if she threw herself on the ground, crying and grabbing the ground, "Oh my God, my young lady, you two dead girls take care of the young lady so much, it's really a sin, my miserable young lady." ”

The tall man squatted down and put his finger under the woman's nose, "The eldest lady is still angry, Li Zi is going to ask the doctor to come." ”

"Oh, oh, I'll go." The short man was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly ran out of the inn.

"Mother Liu, it's not us, it's the woman in the yellow fir, she pushed the eldest lady, and the eldest lady hit the table, the eldest lady is already weak, she is going to kill the eldest lady!" The older girl hurriedly cleared up the relationship.

"Someone pushed the eldest lady, where is it, Xiaocui, did you see it with your own eyes?" After hearing this, the tall man grabbed Xiao Cui and hurriedly asked.

"Right there, not only did I see it, but Xiaoping also saw it." She was referring to the two moons.

Another girl, Xiaoping, also nodded, "The eldest lady obviously left well, but I didn't know that the woman was provoked there, so she pushed the eldest lady when she came out, causing the eldest lady to kowtow." ”

At this time, the shopkeeper Zhang also walked over from behind, and was shocked when he saw this situation, and immediately pointed at Shuangyue and scolded: "Girl, I can't see it, you are so vicious at a young age, just because the young lady is better looking than you, and you want to ruin people's appearance, not to mention that you want to harm people's lives, you really can't look good." "This is to confirm the crime of Biyue. The diners around him also pointed and pointed, and exchanged words with the people around them, eager to buckle a hole in Shuangyue's body.
