Chapter Forty-Seven: Taking the Opportunity to Escape
What Jiu Ban didn't expect was that Si Er would meet them so easily.
The public hall is still the same public court, and the four ears seem to be the same four ears, but the atmosphere has become different. There were four sets of tables and chairs in the lobby out of thin air, and four civilian-looking people sat there or reviewed or corrected, busy and happy. And the nine-and-a-half-three people with Bai Shao and a total of four people stood in the center, but the files seemed to be so numerous that there was almost no place to put their feet. Si Er also sat in his seat, and said impatiently as he quickly reviewed the dossier in his hand, "Do you four have anything to do? If you have nothing to do and can't get the money, go back to your cell and stay don't bother me." ”
Si'er's busyness is reasonable, he also wants to solve the case as soon as possible and find those who killed "Qianji", after all, although that incident has nothing to do with him, but in fact, once the blame is blamed, it is a great crime to destroy the nine clans, and he can't die properly if he wants to. As much as he loves money, he doesn't care about anything at this juncture. After all, life is much more important than money.
Seeing the changes in the four ears and fearing that he would regret it, Jiu Ban hurriedly stepped forward, and said with a little flamboyance: "Lord Four Ears is wise and powerful, and the gods are blessed with great fortune, and sure enough, they can see our thoughts at once, hehehe......"
The sudden change of face of the ninth half surprised everyone, and then they almost threw up. Why, Nine and a Half had such a brazen time? They had never seen it before. But Si'er didn't flatter him, but interrupted him impatiently:
"Don't talk nonsense, is there any inevitable connection between Hongfu Qitian and Wise Shenwu? If you don't have any money, go back and stay, I won't repeat this sentence a third time. ”
"Then where can you do it, Lord Four-eared, although we don't have any money, but I believe that the treasure in my hand will definitely make you ......" Jiu Ban tried his best to drag out the voice on the last word and leave a button, this is a hook, it depends on whether the big fish is hooked or not.
Sure enough, the big fish took the bait. Si Er jerked his head out of the layers of files, and his eyes flashed with money when he looked at Jiu Ban: "What's the matter?"
Sure enough, money fans still can't get rid of the temptation of money.
Nine and a half leaned forward and pretended to be mysterious, "Alas..... Lord Four-Ear, you know, there are really few good things for us people from small families. I haven't been able to show this baby before, I'm afraid you won't like it. ”
Si Er habitually rubbed his hands and rubbed his big mouth that was almost drooling, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, as long as it's a good thing, it's okay." Seeing that you don't have any good things on you, it turns out that you have a private collection. It's okay, I'm in charge, as long as you can satisfy me, I can get out of prison!" The fat man's swollen eyes flashed with extremely strong greed, as if he had seen a fat lion, but only separated by an iron railing.
On the side, everyone who watched these two people "flirting and scolding" almost threw up.
He turned his head to the door of the court, then pursed his lips and blew a loud whistle, and waited quietly. Everyone was very curious about his actions, no one spoke, but in fact, no one needed to speak, because it was only a few breaths, and with a series of "da-da" sounds, a strange scene appeared that stunned everyone:
A fiery red creature that seemed to be cloaked in a navy blue cloak climbed the wall on an elegant ladder, and then it walked slowly on a series of roof tiles. It was a deer-like creature with a tall neck and a slender body, with grace written all over its body. The fiery red body is like a rare elf in the world, and the dark blue back seems to tell you that this thing should only exist in the sky, not in the world.
Don't guess, this is Lushu.
It has actually been a short time since Lushu was ignited, and the changes in Lushu during this time are also very obvious: not only has it become more spiritual, but the most important point is that its "divine action" energy has been completely opened. At this time, Lushu is not the same as before, not only does it look more miraculous, but even if it travels thousands of miles a day, it doesn't need to pant much.
With such a Lushu divine beast standing in front of Si Er, how could he not be moved?
You must know that people like Si Er are actually the most common kind of human beings: they are born with an inferior image and are not good, and they can't hold their heads up when they don't have a career, but one day after you let this kind of person stand in a high position, they will use money and power to disguise themselves, and put that valuable armor on their bodies to create a successful appearance, as if this can cover up their humble past.
Just like he likes to scavenge for money, if such a divine creature becomes his own car, then he doesn't know how beautiful it will be when he rides it on the street. Therefore, although the four ears, who were firmly restrained by such a thought, could not hide the unbridled greed in their eyes, although they could try their best to hide the ecstasy and madness in their hearts.
"So..... What is this?"
Nine and a half saw the greed in the eyes of the four ears, and he knew that his plan was basically half successful, so he said: "This is a horse in the villain's family, and it has been raised for many years, and somehow it has become what it is now. But because it's an old horse, I haven't dared to ......."
Before he finished his words, Lu Shu, who was standing on the side with hoofs, snorted heavily, and the sound was so loud that everyone was startled. Jiu Ban didn't expect Lu Shu to react like this, he quietly glanced at Lu Shu, and sure enough, Lu Shu was looking at him with a look of contempt.
As a result, Jiuhan could only continue to look at Lushu to stabilize the army's heart.
As for why Jiuhan thought of using Lu Shu as a quid pro quo, and why did Lu Shu agree and cooperate so much? This is actually a long story.
The first reason is naturally that Lu Shu is spiritually thorough, and after enlightenment and awakening, it can basically understand the meaning of human beings, but it can't communicate and can't speak human words. Despite not being able to speak, there is still the most basic communication. For example, Lushu good wine, every time I want to drink but I don't buy it for nine and a half, it stands still, which is a big problem.
But it's not enough to just understand but not be able to express, so the opportunity for real communication started when Jiuhan absorbed the qi of three coins. Sanqian is the legendary "Crying Grave", Jiuhan has the ability to communicate with all spirits after absorbing Sanqian's qi, so this is the fundamental reason for his communication with Lushu. It's funny, Jiuhan has never asked anyone to do anything before, this kind of "first time" was actually given to the Lushu Divine Beast, and the condition is ten jars of old wine, which is really very interesting.
In the public court, Jiuhan seemed to want to come up and say something, but Sier didn't give him a chance. The obese Chaotic Flame City judge rubbed his hands vigorously with his glittering golden eyes, pushed away Jiu Ban and the few people behind him, and walked directly towards the Lushu Divine Beast. Lushu is so dazzling.
Si Er walked to Lu Shu's side and stretched out his hand to touch it, but the moment before his hand touched Lu Shu, he immediately retracted. It wasn't out of fear or anything else, but simply from some strange dignity of being a judge.
After all, with so many people present in the court, the appearance of eating can't be too ugly.
So he slowly turned back to the house with his hands behind his back, and said to Jiuhan in a strong and calm voice: "You horse..... So-so, that's it. ”
Four ears, four ears, what do you say you are pretending? It's like who hasn't seen your fat and red ears that trembled slightly with excitement.
"Come on, let them loose. With a wave of his big hand, several officials immediately came out and untied the four of the nine and half guards, Xicheng Bai and Wu Liangzi, as if all this had been designed a long time ago, or rather, the officials had long been accustomed to it. After loosening the tie, Jiuhan turned around and rubbed his slightly red and swollen wrists, and said with a smile: "Then thank you Lord Four-ear." The old horse in the family is already old, and I hope you will take good care of it. ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. At this moment, Si'er no longer looked at the nine and a half, but turned around Lu Shu to look up and down with his hands behind his back and circle in circles. At this moment, he doesn't care about the matter that is vital to his life, this abnormal horse seems to him as if he picked it up out of thin air, and the cost performance is too high.
Jiu Ban and the others cleaned themselves up a little and walked towards the door. Nine and a half shouted to Si Er as he walked, "My lord, did the villain retire first?" but Si Er didn't even look at them, just waved his hand at them. The many officials on the side were half-bombarded and half-invited, but in fact they drove them out. Before closing the door, Jiu Ban seemed to faintly hear the conversation of several officials.
"Another fool, aren't these people really tired of being cheated of money day by day?"
"Then there are people who have money. There is a saying: 'Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and the route freezes to death...... 'What is the reason for freezing to death?'
"Frozen bones! Ouch, I didn't expect you, kid is quite ......."
This was followed by a "snap", which was obviously the sound of the previous official being slapped on the head. And following that sound, Jiuhan finally couldn't help but laugh unkindly. His laughter is loud, and it contains many relatively complex emotions, and many of them are not positive, such as excitement, mockery, unkindness, etc. But as the saying goes, "Misfortune and fortune are relied upon, and fortune is caused by misfortune", and before Jiuban finished laughing, there was a "snap", and his head was slapped by Wei Xicheng next to him.
"I can't imagine that you kid, you can be so cheap?" Wei Xicheng spoke, and in addition to surprise, there was no crying or laughing in his voice. He really didn't expect that Nine and a Half would have such a side, so would he bring more surprises next?
Jiuhan "hehe" twice and was just about to speak, but was interrupted by Wu Liangzi's mocking voice on the side: "Tut-tut, yes, it's just nine sluts, ah no, it should be called Nine Gonggong, right?"
"Why is it that the ninth father-in-law, how can I speak, isn't that also for everyone's good?" Jiuhan, who was interrupted when he was happy, was naturally very unhappy, so he directly stepped up.
Wu Liangzi did not show weakness, and turned on the taunt mode with his hands around his chest, and the small mouth was as abrupt as a machine gun, and he couldn't stop: "What's the matter, are you wrong?" Ouch, I didn't expect our nine-and-a-half little brother to be so powerful that he would go to heaven, and there are still two faces every day? Hey, I'm serious, if you use the set of choking to deal with the four ears on the golden beads and the chou, maybe the restoration army of the country of the negative will be established at this moment. ”
"Okay, okay, I don't have time to be blind and poor with you. Jiu Ban stopped Wu Liangzi's taunt in time. It is said that a woman is like five hundred sparrows when she is crazy, and Ninety Half has no confidence to fight against five hundred sparrows, and he still wants to save his life. After turning his head slightly, he saw Bai Shiver who wanted to find a chance to slip away, grabbed Bai Shiver's clothes by the collar, and said:
"What's the matter, my dear friend, that we've been so far away from walking?"
"No, no, no, where can it?" hahaha......" Bai Trembling turned back and smiled, but this smile rested on his own with a weak heart. He looked to the side and found that not only Jiu and a half were staring at him, but even Wu Liangzi and Wei Xicheng were looking at him from the corner of their eyes. Seeing that he shouldn't be able to escape, Bai Shiver finally coaxed down.
He had a lot of thoughts in his mind, thinking that these people were really a little detached and might be able to help him rescue his younger brother, Bai Trembling changed his mind and said to the three of them: "In this way, since the three of you don't have any plans for the time being, why don't you go to Bai Village to live temporarily? My house there is still rich, and it should be enough for a place to rest." ”
The nine-and-a-half three of them looked at each other, thinking that they didn't have any plans for the time being recently, so they agreed to it. Seeing that the three of them agreed, Bai Shao felt that he seemed to be one step closer to his younger brother being rescued, so he led the way and led the three of them to Bai Village.
The journey was originally boring, after all, walking is not a twisted Yangge, what kind of flowery intestines can you get out of? But the ghost made a mistake, Jiu Ban actually took out a box of fat powder and dangled it in front of Wu Liangzi's eyes, swaying away, but he just didn't say what to do. How can a woman in the world not love rouge gouache? Moreover, Wu Liangzi looked at it and saw that it was still produced in the No. 1 merchant in the Nine Kingdoms, "Tianbao Zhai"! At this moment, Wu Liangzi was actually a little excited.
didn't wait for Wu Liangzi to speak, but it was Wei Xicheng who had an opinion first: "Okay, you stinky boy, why do you really miss women? Your brother is still here, why did he take out his rouge to tease other girls' happiness? ”
"Huh, what's the matter?" Jiu Ban threw the fat powder box in his hand up and down, and played with it as a stone. He said while twisting around: "Brother Wei, you misunderstood, didn't you? I took out a box of rouge to give it away, so wouldn't you want to cut people when you held the knife in your hand?" He paused and continued: "Besides, didn't someone say that I have two faces, then I'll use this fat powder to show people my second face, isn't it good?"
"Oh, is it?" said Wu Liangzi on the side, his tone provocative.
"That's not it," Jiu Ban answered, "I can't give you this box of fat powder......
"Oh, that's what it was for me? Thank you. As soon as Jiuhan's words were finished, Wu Liangzi directly used a spell to suck away the fat powder box in Jiuhan's hand in the air, and then jumped to the front without saying anything, picked up Bai Shiver and galloped forward, not giving Jiuhan a chance to react at all.
In the place where Nine and a Half could not be seen, a smile briefly appeared on Wu Liangzi's face.
The two people in the back, Jiu Ban kept a stunned expression until Wei Xicheng caught up and patted him on the shoulder seriously, and said, "Jiu Ban, listen to my brother." Ever since I was a child, my mother told me that a man of the same age would never be able to play with a woman. Compared to Wu Liangzi, you are still too tender, hahahahahahaha......haha But what everyone didn't see was that Jiu Ban smiled, and he did smile. Gradually, he took steps and followed, heading towards the White Village.
After all, that box of fat powder, he originally bought it to make Wu Liangzi happy.
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that before my birthday was approaching, someone sent me a big gift first, okay..... Good. Inside the yamen of Chaos Flame City, Si Er sat in his own place and rubbed his chin and muttered to himself. The deer outside the house was served by a group of officials, it did not drink ordinary water, and the food handed by the officials often spit out after eating a bite and then changed to the next one, and always could not find something to eat.
In fact, it's no wonder, after all, Lu Shu likes to eat wine.
Fang Si'er rubbed his chin, and then he slapped his face as if he suddenly thought of something, and shouted, "Come on, come on, come on, where are all the people?"
A person who looked like a master hurriedly ran outside the house, nodded and said, "My lord, what do you command?"
"Levy taxes! Collect taxes in advance, do it today!"
"What's the name this time, my lord?"
"What else do you need to pay taxes?" Four Ears jumped over his table and jumped in front of the man who looked like a master, knocked him to the ground with a slap and said, "Don't you know that in five days it will be my forty-third birthday?"
