Chapter 2: Unintentionally Causing Trouble
Su Heng took Wujiang to the east in the wilderness for three days, and then he saw a small city.
The small town is called Hucheng, which is a small city in Ding'an Road near Beiji Road. When Su Heng and Wujiang arrived here, they saw that the people were hanging colored cloths on the stone houses, and the rough houses made of large rocks were matched with colorful cloths of different colors, which had a unique taste.
On both sides of the street, there are many vendors, shouting and shouting.
"This son, let's have a basket of steamed buns, the skin is thin and the filling tastes good, and it doesn't need money if it's not delicious. ”
"The Spring Festival is coming, come and buy jade beads, a string of good luck for a year, and two strings of family members to add blessings and longevity. ”
......
"Amitabha, I can't imagine that the world is so prosperous!" Wujiang opened his mouth wide, and his eyes didn't know where to put them, and there were new things everywhere. This was the first time he had gone out of the mountains, and it was also the first time he had seen the mortal world.
"The Jushou we are going to is a thousand times more prosperous than this, ten thousand times, won't you be dazzled by then?" Su Heng said with a smile, after a few days of getting along, there was no more estrangement between the two at the beginning, and Wujiang gradually accepted Su Heng.
"No wonder the master said that there are many temptations in the world, and it is more suitable for me to practice Buddhism. Boundless's slick head spun around, eager to see all these novelties.
"Let's go, let's go get something to eat first, and then I'll take you to take a good look at it when you're done. Su Heng pulled the boundless who looked left and right, and entered a restaurant.
"Guest officer, please come inside, what do you want to do?" As soon as Xiao Er saw the guest coming, he immediately hung a towel on his shoulder to greet him.
"Give us five vegetarian dishes, and then bring me a pot of Guanzhong mash. ”
"Gotta ......"
After Xiao Er dragged the long tone away, Wujiang came over and whispered, "Master, are the two of us going to eat so much?"
"Of course, the dry food you've eaten these days should also be replenished for you. Su Heng replied.
"Yes...... But can we turn our fate into so much?" Wujiang felt a little weak in his heart, "Master said, if others don't give it, if we eat so much, we will be murdered by others." ”
Su Heng couldn't help but smile after hearing this, and knocked on Wujiang's head, "Today we don't make a fate, we buy it with silver." ”
"Silver?" the monk thought for a moment, then leaned over his head and asked in surprise, "Is it silver that can buy a lot of things?" ”
"Hahaha......" Su Heng touched Wujiang's head, and finally couldn't help laughing softly.
As soon as the two finished eating vegetarian food, Wujiang ran out of the restaurant a little impatiently.
The streets are full of people, lively, and the Spring Festival is approaching, and every household has to go out to buy something.
At this moment, there was a panicked noise from the street ahead, "Get out, get out of the way!"
People on the street turned over on their backs, crying and wailing, and the small vendors on the side of the road dodged one after another, and some didn't even want the stalls, so they quickly dodged, and a horse-drawn carriage rumbled by, and the road was in a mess.
Su Heng raised his head and blocked Wujiang behind him, only to see a masked Tsing Yi jumping down from the upper floor on top of the carriage, directly running through the entire carriage.
"Boom!"
The carriage fell apart in the gallop, the two horses pulling the carriage neighed and ran away, the fragments of the carriage scattered to the ground, and two young men in brocade clothes rolled on the road, moaning feebly.
"Brush"
Before everyone could react, a long knife slashed through the neck of one of them, and blood burst out.
"Ahh
Everyone exclaimed in surprise and flashed backwards, lest they get the slightest bit of blood.
The masked Tsing Yi did not stop, and the long knife turned and continued to slash towards the other person.
Su Heng was about to pull Wujiang away from this place of right and wrong, but unexpectedly, Wujiang rushed out of the street at this moment, wanting to protect the person who fell to the ground.
"Be careful!" Su Heng instantly followed the monk, and the long sword in his hand swept abruptly, blocking the blade of the green clothes in front of him.
"Ding!"
The swords rang out, Su Heng frowned, this person actually had the strength of a second-grade master!
"Amitabha, why did the donor kill people in the street, can you put down the butcher's knife?" Wujiang stood in front of the only remaining survivors, chanting the Buddha's name, and his crisp voice was mixed with firmness.
"Get out of the way!" the masked Tsing Yi yelled at Su Heng.
Su Heng shook his head, "My family has no boundaries to protect this person, so it's better for you to retreat." ”
"In that case, don't blame me. The masked Tsing Yi waved his left hand, and then stepped forward, the long knife cut through the air and attacked Su Heng's neck.
Su Heng stretched out his hand, grabbed his big sleeves, and at the same time took a step back slightly, and the long knife swept only two fingers away from his neck.
"There's still a fire owed. Su Heng's long sleeves waved, and the silver needles he had just received shot back one after another, and at the same time he reached out into a claw, and ripped off the masked black cloth when the masked Tsing Yi was dodging.
Tsing Yi's eyes glared, quickly blocked his face, stared at Su Heng fiercely, turned to fly upstairs, and left here in a few flashes.
"It's okay. Su Heng put his sword into the sheath and said lightly.
"It's fine. Boundless replied crisply.
On the road, blood and water paved the ground, and another man in brocade was already frightened, and his eyes were dull. Wujiang put his little head in front of him, "Donor, it's okay, the murderer is gone." ”
But the man was still stunned and didn't speak, his eyes were motionless, and he looked completely frightened.
"Let's go, someone will naturally pick him up then. Su Heng patted Wujiang's head.
"What if the killer turns around and strikes again?"
Su Heng looked around and found that the people around him were surrounded, there was not only fear in his eyes, but also a hint of schadenfreude, and his heart suddenly understood, "If we don't leave, we may have to get into some trouble later." ”
"What's the trouble? Master. Wujiang raised his head and looked at Su Heng.
"It's just a small city, but it's not a big problem. Su Heng chuckled. It is hard to imagine that Su Heng, who is known as the white-clothed Su Demon, would talk to people so patiently.
"Then let's wait. ”
"Good. ”
The people around me gathered more and more, and the voices of discussion were endless.
After a while, the crowd dispersed, and a team of more than 30 officials rushed over with knives and surrounded Su Heng and the others.
"Come on, escort them all away!" The leading official waved his hand, and several officials walked up with chains.
"This matter has nothing to do with us. "Su Heng is in front of the boundless.
"If it doesn't matter, we won't know until we interrogate it. The son of the Chen family was killed, and everyone present couldn't escape from it!" said the official fiercely.
Before the words fell, more than 30 officials "banged", drew their swords out of the sheath, and for a while the murderous atmosphere was soaring, and the surrounding people were silent, not daring to make a sound.
The scene fell into a brief stalemate, and the long knives in the hands of the officials shimmered coldly, ready to move at any time.
"Plop!"
At this moment, a common man suddenly knelt on the ground, and the yellow liquid flowed sideways on the ground.
"My lord, this matter really has nothing to do with the little one, my lord, these two people stopped the murderer, and finally let the murderer go!" The people pointed at Su Heng and Wujiang with one hand, and tears broke down.
"Yes, yes, these two people let the murderer go! Please be aware of it!" After this person finished speaking, many people also knelt on the ground and echoed loudly.
"Very good!" exclaimed the chief of the officials, "Come, take these two to the prison and wait for interrogation!"
"Yes!"
......
Chen's Mansion, the largest mansion in the city, has five courtyards, during which the garden is dotted with rockeries, pavilions and pavilions, gorgeous and rich, covering an area of several miles, several times larger than the county yamen.
Not long after the big event happened, the servants of the Chen family hurriedly ran into the Chen Mansion from outside.
"Lord, lord......"
After listening to the servant's report, the steward trotted all the way into the main hall of the Chen family.
"What's the matter?" Chen Kunde, the eldest man of the Chen family, was sitting and drinking tea at this time, and he didn't raise his eyes.
"The big thing is not good, the fifth son and the sixth son were chased and killed on the street, the fifth son was killed, and the sixth son was rescued. ”
"What!?" Chen Kunde stood up suddenly, and a flush suddenly rose on his face that was not angry and arrogant, "These two unscrupulous people have been making trouble all day long, and they can't think of today...... Has the murderer been caught?" and he almost roared out when he said the back.
"The murderer fled after being blocked by two people, and has not been found yet. "The steward is trembling, when has the eldest lord ever been so angry?" he replied truthfully.
"Bastard!" Chen Kunde slammed the precious celadon cloud cup on the table, his inch-long beard seemed to be burned by fire, "What are those two people eating?
"My lord, before going to the scene of the crime, the guard Zhang of the Yamen asked me the servants of the Chen Mansion, what should I do with these two people? The steward cautiously raised his eyes and asked.
Chen Kunde slapped the table hatefully, "Since those two people are useless, just accompany me for the funeral of my five sons, and all the people present today, all of them will be in the yamen prison for me to wait for disposal." ”
"Got it, sir, my subordinates will do it. The steward bowed and departed.
Chen Kunde walked back and forth a few times, and his heart was even more annoyed, "Someone!"
"Master, what do you order?" Before the words fell, other stewards came over at the door of the main hall.
"Tell me that if you can't catch the murderer of my five sons, don't want his black gauze hat anymore. ”
"Yes, the subordinates will go and spread the word. ”
The steward was not surprised, and immediately took the order to leave.
In this small city, the Chen family is the sky and the king's law, even if it is the seven-grade county official, he has to look at the Chen family's face to act!
