Volume 1: Bloody Joy Chapter 8 Golden Stone and Green Willow (Middle)

In the cross pavilion accompanied by the bamboo forest, Zhanhong's head rested on Zhen'er's lap.

Sunlight shrouded gently through the curtains.

Zhen'er's voice was ethereal and soft, and she slowly said to Zhan Hong: "Even if this world is filthy and chaotic, what you want is still yours, the so-called good deeds and benevolence are found from the heart, and all feelings are ......."

·

"I want to go home...... Zhanhong muttered in a trance, but he woke up from a burst of pain in his shoulder, saw the corpse under his feet, and thought in his heart that since the matter had come to this, he would have to push the boat down the river, make the noise bigger, ask for a quick solution, and make up his mind to turn over and get on the horse.

·

"Stop!"

With a shout, the silver spear team from afar stood still.

Jinshi City is the frontier defense place of the Southern Dynasty of Zhongzhou, with more than 15,000 garrison garrison troops, divided into three battalions of "Changshui", "Changwei" and "Jinshi".

Detailed that the north is located in the north of Zhongzhou, shipbuilding technology is far behind the lake Ze thousands of miles, the waterway of the south of the Qi, the latter according to the Yangtze River natural risk, shipbuilding training, Jinshi City stationed in the "long water battalion" is equipped with 20 ships, the rest of the size of the ship more than 100, is one of the several elite of the South Qi.

It should have been the Jinshi Battalion that was stationed in Jinshi City to guard the town, but it was not the team of silver guns in front of him, but Gu Yun coincidentally did not write a book, and it happened that Jiang Feng, the commander of today's Changshui Battalion, led the team through the city, passing through this square street, and saw the crowd in front of him running in four or three from a distance, stopping one person to ask Fang Zhi that there had been a tragic murder, Jiang Feng listened to it and led a silver gun team of more than 100 people to rush over, but it was still a step late on the spot, and the murderer had long disappeared on the street.

Jiang Feng saw corpses all over the ground, fragments and many stumps and broken arms, he jumped off the horse and ordered the soldiers to carry the injured and not dead away for treatment.

Don't look at this Jiang Feng, he is short, but his body is poious, but he is not as rough and thick as other people in the army, and if you look closely, his skin is fairer and more delicate than that of the thirteen or fourteen girls.

"Lord Jiang, look, this is the crossbow arrow used by the murderer. The personal guard pulled out a crossbow arrow from the corpse of an official and handed it to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng stretched out his hand to take it, and took a closer look, the two crossbow arrows were engraved with the small word "edge".

"The common people said that the murderer seemed to be a Hu man from the Western Regions, and this person didn't speak, but just slashed and killed like crazy. The personal guard whispered: "Brother Feng, could it be the work of the Sexi Kingdom?"

Jiang Feng sneered and said, "Hehe, it's rare to make such a blatant trouble, kill civilians in vain, and leave your identity." ”

Zhan Hong rode his horse, turned a few streets and then turned over and dismounted, tied the brown horse to the tethered stake at the entrance of the alley, turned into the alley, he took off his turban as he walked, shed his blood-stained coat, and threw it into the pile of debris on the side of the road.

Let's say that this Zhanhong passed through this alley, and there was a lively scene in front of him, the crowd was crowded, the roadside stalls were lined up, and there were all kinds of groceries to eat.

The white-haired old man in a coarse linen coat in this shop hurriedly greeted a guest when he saw a guest coming to the door and said, "Sir, do you have a hair comb?"

Zhan Hong pointed to his curly beard, which was specially scalded with a copper stick in the Western Regions, since he returned to Zhongzhou, Zhan Hong thought about cutting it off.

The white-haired old man nodded, raised his hand and made an invitation, and when Zhanhong sat down on the bamboo chair, the white-haired old man asked: "Gu Yun is talking about beard, beard on cheeks, and mustache on mouth, where is Mr. going to comb?" Zhanhong didn't bother to speak, pointed to his face and drew a circle, meaning that all of them were shaved off, and the white-haired old man understood.

After a while, the white-haired old man shaved Zhanhong's beard clean. Zhanhong got up and touched his chin, quite satisfied, put down a silver coin and got up to leave. The white-haired old man hurriedly went up to stop him: "Sir, you don't need so much, if you don't have scattered copper coins, forget it this time." With that, he handed the silver coin to Zhanhong with a kind smile on his face. Zhan Hong looked back at the old man and said with a smile: "You take it, if I have the opportunity next time, I will come to you." After hearing this, the white-haired old man nodded frequently with a smile, and looked at the silver coin in his hand full of joy: "Then I will accept it, I will not accept your money next time you come!" The white-haired old man raised his eyes with a smile as he spoke, but there was no longer Zhanhong in front of him.

The red sun fell in the west, just because there was a terrible murder in this Jinshi City, today's city gate was closed early, and the Jinshi Bridgehead was also blocked by the soldiers, and the merchants who wanted to enter the customs were not allowed to jump back to the Jiaoshou City in the north, so it was really complaining. The street market, which was still lively in the afternoon, now looks empty, and the stalls that have not had time to clean up are lying on the side of the road, and the messengers at the yamen are searching for the murderers from door to door.

Zhanhong was lying in the guest room of the inn, listening to the Hu businessmen next door being pulled out by the officers and soldiers for interrogation, and slowly closed his eyes.

Without further ado, the sun turned around.

The dew reflected the rising sun, and everything returned to normal on the streets of Jinshi City, Qiguo in the Southern Dynasty.

The people killed yesterday were not dignitaries, but inconspicuous people in the market.

Privately, yesterday's closure was just a show, you must know that when the Jinshi Pass is closed for a while, it is a temporary loss of gold and silver, which is more important, and the prince of Jinshi City naturally has a rod and scale in his heart. Moreover, the government has already transferred the case file to Luliutang, since it involves the border city chamber of commerce, Luliutang should be handy in handling it, and the officials and businessmen conspired, and it was only a matter of time before the case was solved.

Even so, after the tossing and turning of this annoying villain, the people of the Western Regions in this Qiguo Golden Stone City really suffered and were unlucky.

If you are dressed up in the Western Regions and walking well on the road, you will suddenly be stopped, and you will be arrested and interrogated from time to time, in addition to dealing with the officials at the entrance of the yamen, you will also have to accept the inquiries of the people of the Green Willow Hall.

Let's talk about the main hall of the green willow hall of the south of the Qi, which is located in the north of the golden stone city, this main hall covers an area of more than one hectare, dozens of courtyards before and after, pavilions and pavilions are built in a staggered manner, the hundred views of the south of the Yangtze River are hidden in the middle, the stream runs through, if the white wall and green tiles are replaced with red wall gold tiles, even if it is said that this is the royal courtyard of the Qi Kingdom is not an exaggeration.

The morning sun breaks through the sky, Yingying white clouds, dew Pi Kan Mao, the wind is soothing, a red-bellied eagle shortly whitted from the north of the golden stone city of the Bao'en tower swept by, Zhanhong hand holding the tower brake standing on the top of the tower, is a bird's eye view of the green willow hall not far away.

Zhan Hong's eyes were waking up from their night's sleep, the smoke was rising, and the people who came out early on the street had begun to rush for their lives.

·

Let's say that the green pond garden in the back garden of the green willow main hall, the garden is built around this pond lotus, the center of the pond is piled up with blue rocks to form a small island, and a cross pavilion is built on the island, the morning fog dissipates at this time, the sun spreads all over the green pond garden, and the dew drops on the lotus leaves are crystal clear.

Look at the table in this pavilion, the breakfast and drink on it are extraordinarily exquisite, and there are two people sitting on both sides of the table, it is Jiang Long, the master of the Green Willow Hall, and his brother Jiang Feng.

"Big brother, I have sent someone to inform the Border City Chamber of Commerce about this matter. Jiang Feng in front of him took off his armor and dressed as a scholar, he put down the chopsticks in his hand, and then said: "I have also sued the lord." ”

Jiang Long only nodded and did not speak.

"This kind of planting method seems too stupid, but if it wasn't for the planting, it was really done by the Sexi people, and what was their purpose in doing this?" Jiang Feng looked at his brother.

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Jiang Long said: "Hey, I called you to accompany me for breakfast, what are you doing to talk about this trouble? ”

At the mouth of the eighth lane in the middle of Jinshi City, Nanqi, the five ox carts that transported vegetables and meat to Luliutang were full of Deng.

There are a lot of chickens, ducks, fish, melons, fruits, and vegetables on these five cars, but these are only enough for a few hundred people in the Luliu General Hall to eat for two days. The person in charge of escorting the car is carefully counting the number, and at the same time instructing his subordinates to inspect the car from car to car, and if there are no problems, these can be transported into the Green Willow Hall.

Zhanhong stood behind the willow tree not far away and watched the ox cart loading, looking thoughtful.

At this moment, the sharp-eyed Green Willow Hall guy noticed something unusual, so he put down the basket of cabbage he was carrying and walked towards Zhanhong, wiping the sweat on his face with a towel around his neck as he walked.

The fellow smiled, bowed his hand, and asked, "Sir, is there something wrong with you?" I've seen you here for a while. ”

Zhanhong returned the salute and smiled and said: "Little brother Mo laughed at me for not being knowledgeable, I think I have also gone to the north and south and walked a lot of places, and I have never seen such a big buying battle, this Green Willow Hall is really generous." ”

Hearing this, the guy unconsciously straightened his chest, and said proudly: "That's nature, our Green Willow Hall can support half of the people of my Great Qi Kingdom!"

Zhanhong smiled: "It's really amazing. After that, he raised his big finger and said, "Little brother, it's really amazing that you can do shopping in this Green Willow Hall! I have something to ask for here, and I hope that my little brother will agree." ”

The guy was very useful when he heard this, and he puffed up his chest and smiled: "Haha, you said yes!"

Zhanhong smiled and said, "Little brother, can you take me into this Green Willow Hall for a visit?" The guy who was still smiling was stunned for a moment, and said with a sad face: "I can't be the master of this, you have to know that our Green Willow Hall is not something that anyone can enter and exit casually." ”

Zhan Hong looked disappointed, nodded and asked, "Then how can I get in?"

The guy thought for a while and said: "Either you are a member of the royal family, or a dignitary, or a famous businessman, a person called a big figure in the rivers and lakes, in short, there are no ordinary people who enter and leave our Green Willow Hall." After hearing this, Zhanhong nodded again, and said slowly with a sincere face: "Actually, I am not an ordinary person. ”

The guy was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then looked Zhanhong up and down, and then sneered: "Hehe, sir, your dress is really low-key." "What this guy said is right, Zhanhong, who first entered the Golden Stone City of Qiguo, wanted to keep a low profile, but now that the matter has come to this, he has no patience, Zhanhong bowed his hand and said: "Little brother, since you can't take me in, then I can't help you." ”

Before he could finish speaking, he stepped forward, pulled out the willow leaf knife worn by the man's waist, and plunged his backhand straight into the man's chest. Looking at the guy from the Green Willow Hall again, he muttered with surprise on his face, "Why?" This guy didn't know why he went to the Yellow Spring until he died.

Zhanhong didn't answer, pulled out a short knife with force in his hand, and casually pushed the guy away and strode towards the carriages.

"Kill, kill!" With the sound of shouting, I saw a bloody gourd-like person running from the Chongba alley to the north main street of Jinshi City, shouting loudly as he ran: "Kill again! Go and report to the official!" His shout was really like a thunderstorm on the ground, and the whole street instantly turned into a pot of gruel. You must know that there was a horrific murder in the city yesterday, and now the people are panicking, and it has only been a day, how can you think that there will be a murderous person on the street again?

How can this be fearful?

Look at the pedestrians and traders on this street in an instant, they can run away, and some of them have already run to find the officials who patrol and the soldiers of the Jinshi battalion who are guarding the city. This place is only two streets away from the Green Willow Hall, and the Green Willow Hall is naturally the first to receive the news, the captain of the guard of the main hall took out the sound arrow and raised it to the sky to light the fuse, and only heard the sound of the arrow in the ear chakra, and the Green Willow Hall who were patrolling all over the Golden Stone City saw the signal rushing towards the eight lanes.

After a while, the officials, soldiers, and green willow hall who came between the shouting and neighing of horses collided with the scattered and fleeing residents of the city and the passers-by, and as far as the eye could see, all they saw were the stalls that had been knocked over by the horses and the women who had been pushed down, and even more so the children who were playing on the side of the road were trampled on by the horses, and the blood flowed when they boarded, and the old beggar with the dog beating stick was even more crushed and the broken bowl was broken before he had time to wail and cry for his life.

At this moment of confusion, a cold arrow flew out of nowhere, and shot the soldier on the horse impartially, and the soldier's screams were instantly drowned in the cry of calling for his father and scolding his mother.
