Chapter 7 Never Change
Outside the yamen, everyone waited quietly, and they used to like to make trouble, but this time they were surprisingly quiet.
The matter of the prince of the Wang family had already been done, and they had been waiting here until noon, but Lu Sanqian did not wait, but waited for another person.
The person who came was dressed as a head catcher, with a knife at his waist, and a little beard visible on his face.
This person is the head catcher of the Yamen, the big Xing Zhen, today he was uneasy in his heart, and he always felt that something was going to happen, until the master Lao Qi came, this uneasiness was replaced by anger.
The two have known each other for much longer than they have been with Lu Sanqian, and they know each other better, as soon as Lao Qi came, he could see that the other party must have something to hide from him, and besides, the matter of the imperial court about the disaster relief funds has just been announced, how can he be so urgent to hand it over in person.
To say that Lao Qi really doesn't know how to act, he always subconsciously scratches his head when he lies to acquaintances, even Lu Sanqian doesn't know this.
After Lao Qi told the story of the Wang family, Xing Zhen's eyes were red, and he clamored to cut him, until he knew what Lu Sanqian had done, and the anger in his heart disappeared.
"How? I've said it a long time ago, that guy and we are all the way. ”
Lao Qi shook his head with a wry smile and did not speak.
"You go back first, I'll go to the prison first to see those beasts."
"Don't mess around, this has nothing to do with you."
Before Lao Qi finished speaking, Xing Zhen already felt impatient, strode out of the house, and hung Lao Qi at home, Lao Qi knew that his hands were itching and couldn't stand it.
"Brother Xing."
As soon as Xing Zhen came, everyone was obviously confident, looking at his proud appearance, the Wang family's grandsons were beaten very badly.
Xing Zhutou didn't seem to be relieved, and said angrily: "What about your Qingtian master?" ”
The crowd looked at each other, but no one spoke.
"Lao Xing, is your anger still gone?"
It just so happened that at this time, Lu Sanqian and the master walked out, each holding a thick stack of paper in their hands, which was the crime of the prince of the Wang family.
Xing Zhen originally wanted to say something, but seeing Lu Sanqian's tired face, he swallowed what he originally wanted to say, so he had to say: "It's almost." ”
"That's good, that's good, it's very angry."
"Alright, alright." Xing Zhen waved his hand, looked at the paper in his hand, and asked, "What is your idea again?" Why do you write so many words? ”
"Of course, it's the death of the prince of the Wang family." Lu Sanqian stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, looked at everyone and said, "Let me ask you, do you think the prince of the Wang family and his servants must die?" ”
"Needless to say, even if this beast dies, I'll give him a few more knives."
"Yes, what Brother Xing said is right." The crowd chimed in.
Lu Sanqian nodded, feeling a little less ashamed of the brothers in his heart, and he continued: "I think so too, it's not too much to kill this kind of person, but after all, we represent the imperial court, not the heroes of the rivers and lakes, so the threat of the Wang family is self-evident, if the other party knows that his son has become such a miserable appearance, it is estimated that we will not see the sun tomorrow." ”
Hearing this, everyone lowered their heads, of course, except for our Xing Da Zhutou, he raised his head and sneered.
Lu Sanqian didn't care about him, and then asked: "Brothers, in the final analysis, this matter is my responsibility, it stands to reason that if the Wang family is looking for trouble through the governor's yamen, I can bear it alone, but I am afraid that the other party will be private." ”
"Lord Lu, we have always regarded you as a big brother, and you will break the hearts of the brothers when you say this."
"That's right, my lord, and how dare they go private, kill a county government, and the governor has to move his head."
The master analyzed: "I'm afraid they won't take it personally, find a group of outlaws, and then find an excuse for revenge from the enemy." ”
Lu Sanqian shook his head, "This is not the fundamental reason, the emperor is still young, although he cares about the people and has great ambitions, but he has no choice but to have power in the hands of the Empress Dowager, and our governor is the Empress Dowager, this time the court is willing to apportionment of disaster relief food may be the emperor's victory, but the overall situation has not changed, not to mention that the governor is a feudal official after all, and he will definitely not easily ask for guilt." ”
Then he told his plan.
"Wang Ping, Zhou Hai, you two go to Wanxian."
"Yiyang, Wu Dong, you two go to Jing'an County."
……
In this way, the seven counties of Liangjiang Province have been arranged.
"Remember everyone, change horses, don't change people, use the fastest time to post the notices in your hands in the county government and city gates and other places, as long as there are many people, all of them will be pasted for him."
"Brothers, time is urgent, let's go."
"Order."
In the blink of an eye, only the county commander Lu Sanqian, the master Lao Qi and the head catcher Xing Zhen were left at the entrance of the yamen.
"I hope we can get away with this."
Lu Sanqian looked at the two people in front of him, "Let's go, go have two drinks?" ”
Xing Zhen nodded and said okay, but the master shook his head.
"It seems that you have to change the time for drinking, you look at the two people drinking tea in the teahouse behind you."
"What's wrong? Is there any difference? I look pretty normal. ”
Lu Sanqian's brows were furrowed, and he said in a low voice: "No, they are wearing the same clothes as the servants of the Wang family's son, and they should also be the thugs of the Wang family, and it is very likely that they already know the whereabouts of their own son." ”
"Yell." Xing Zhutou became interested and said with a smile: "We don't go to them, they come to the door by themselves, yes, I'll go and greet them." ”
"Hey, Lao Xing, don't be reckless."
Xing Zhen patted his chest, "I know, you're really stupid." ”
Lu Sanqian and the master both laughed, just in case, they decided to go to the prison first, and transfer the prince of the Wang family out before more Wang family members came, and Xing Zhen was responsible for buying time as much as possible.
The name of the teahouse is Laiyiwan, and the name is also well-known in Qinghai County.
"Lao Liu, come to a bowl of tea."
Xing Zhutou came to the teahouse, glanced at the two people next to him, intentionally or unintentionally, and said loudly.
"Okay."
"Hey, Xing Zhutou, why do you have time to come to us today, did you drink too much yesterday?"
Lao Liu is the shopkeeper who came to a bowl, they are not without Xiao Er here, but the person who came is not Xing Zhutou, many years of lessons tell Lao Liu that only if he comes to greet him in person, his tea bowl will not be thrown to the ground.
"You talk so much nonsense, it's okay if there's something, get out of here."
"Well, you drink yours, and if you want to add tea, you can talk."
Lao Liu also understood the other party's temper, and his face did not show displeasure.
"By the way, the money of the two brothers next to me is also recorded in my account."
Lao Liu nodded again, puzzled in his heart, when did this Xing Zhutou be so kind.
It's no wonder that Lao Liu has such thoughts, since Xing Zhen became the head catcher, he has indeed restrained a lot, unlike before, he always shouts and kills, and even when he sees the old, weak, sick and disabled, he will give three melons and two dates.
But after all, he has been a gangster for thirty or forty years, and some habits on his body cannot be changed all at once, not only is he extremely jealous and hateful, but he is also very picky, like an iron rooster, except for Lu Xian Ling and Master, no one wants to pluck a hair from him.
But even if he didn't understand, he wouldn't be stupid enough to ask.
Seeing that the two didn't say anything, Xing Zhutou stopped doing.
"Hey, hey, the two brothers next to me, brother, I invite you to tea, don't you know how to say thank you?"
"Who asked you to invite it?"
One of them whispered, and the other hurriedly stopped him, shook his head at him, and then stood up and hugged his fist at Xing Zhutou, and said: "This official, my brother can't speak, please forgive me, as for this money, I really don't dare to take such a advantage, if the official can afford it, this tea money will be paid by the two of us, and I will be regarded as a friend." ”
Ordinary people are afraid that they are embarrassed to say anything to others when they encounter such arguments, but Xing Zhutou is not an ordinary person, he will not reason with others at all, and when he encounters others to reason with him, he will instead use his own crooked reasoning and force.
"No way!" Xing Zhutou slapped the table and shouted: "I treat you as a friend, and I kindly invite you to tea, but you are so unappreciative, why, do you look down on Ben Zhutou?" ”
The one who hugged his fist before wanted to say something, but he didn't think that the other person next to him didn't do it.
"Zhao Cheng, when did you become so verbose, aren't you just a little head catcher, you really take yourself seriously."
That Zhao Cheng glared at the other party, but he didn't say anything, to be honest, seeing the other party messing around with him, his pair of fists couldn't help it for a long time.
Xing Zhen didn't laugh angrily, this is what he wanted.
He pushed Zhao Cheng away, squinted at the mustache in front of him who was still drinking tea, and said with disdain: "Mustache, what about you, his name is Zhao Cheng, what is your name?" It can't be called Prime Minister Turtle, right? ”
The mustache that drank tea squirted out a mouthful of water, and he was most annoyed that someone called him Prime Minister Turtle, and this mustache was actually the most satisfying place for him, and everyone who had seen him never forgot this mustache.
"Hmph, the third grandson, it's your grandfather!" After speaking, he threw the tea bowl in his hand at Xing Zhutou.
Xing Zhutou didn't know how to catch his way, dodged with a dodge, and sneered: "The action is too slow, Prime Minister Sun." ”
"You!"
Sun San couldn't bear it anymore, the green tendons on his body burst out, and he stretched out his fist and hit Xing Zhutou.
What kind of person is Xing Zhutou, if the other party is a thug, then he is the boss of the thugs, and this level of attack is useless in his eyes.
I saw Xing Zhutou with his hands behind his back, his expression was natural, and he effortlessly dodged the opponent's attack.
"It's like you're fighting with a child."
In fact, what Xing Zhutou said was right, in the eyes of outsiders, he was teasing Sun San.
"Zhao Cheng, don't do it yet!"
Zhao Cheng also sighed, originally they were here to inquire about the news, because Wang Gongzi had been out for a long time, and Mrs. Wang in the house was not at ease, so she ordered them to come out to find it.
Some people said that he came to this Qinghai County, and Sun Sancheng thought that finding Wang Gongzi would also be considered a meritorious service, and he could ask his wife for a reward, so he took Zhao Cheng and Wang Kai to come, regardless of the long distance.
Originally, they thought that this prince had fallen in love with a little girl and came to harm others, but after they came, they learned that this prince was really in trouble and was put in prison, and some people said that the other party was crippled.
Wang Kai had already gone back early to report the news, and it was estimated that someone would be sent over in another hour.
Zhao Cheng knew that if he didn't do it again, Sun San's face would be lost to his grandmother's house.
Zhao Cheng is indeed a lot more powerful than Sun San, his fists are windy, and the pace under his feet is also unpredictable, as soon as he intervenes in the battle between the two, Xing Zhutou and Sun San are separated, and Xing Zhutou has to reach out to take it.
But soon Zhao Chengcheng panicked, because they went back and forth for twenty or thirty moves, but the other party only used one hand to deal with it.
Zhao Cheng thought that his kung fu was not bad, he had practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his roots and bones were good, and he had made some achievements over the years, and he had also entered the top three among the thugs of the Wang family, but after meeting the person in front of him, he found that he was simply a frog at the bottom of the well, and he felt that his fists were like hitting cotton, and he couldn't use his strength at all.
"Well, yes, yes, much better than my little brothers."
"Who are you? Is it really this little head catcher in Qinghai County? ”
"Or else?"
Xing Zhutou didn't want to play anymore, so he used his feet hard, found a flaw, and kicked Zhao Cheng's chest.
And Zhao Cheng's reaction was not slow, his arms were protected in front of his chest, and the next moment, a figure flew out upside down.
Sun San was stunned, he had seen Zhao Cheng's ability, and more than a dozen masters couldn't get close to him, especially with that ghostly figure, he had killed many business opponents for the Wang family over the years, and he didn't miss a single one, but he didn't expect that now he capsized on a small catcher.
On Zhao Cheng's side, his arms have been kicked and broken, how much strength does this have, you know, his arms can easily split the thick bluestone slabs, but if he didn't react in time just now, I'm afraid he would never be able to stretch out his hands again.
This is Xing Zhen's method of delaying time, just beat them until they can't walk.
On the side of the yamen, Lu Sanqian and the master found that the current prince Wang Gongzi was dying, and he was hung on the beam of the house by Xing Zhen with an iron hook, and there were more whip wounds on his body in addition to stick wounds, and his flesh and blood were blurred. The master was excited but also worried, he looked at Lu Sanqian, he wanted to play a round for Xing Zhen, but he saw that the other party was excited, his eyes were shining, and for a while, the master's eyes suddenly blurred, is this still the Xiucai who is weak and weak, and Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face did not change?
"Huh? Why are you looking at me like that? ”
The master suddenly came back to his senses and replied, "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly feel that you have changed a little." ”
Yes, it has indeed changed, and this change should have started a long time ago, when the case of the prince of the Wang family was being heard? Was it when you drank last month? Or did they meet half a year ago? Master doesn't know.
Lu Sanqian smiled, "Don't be kidding, Lao Qi, I will always be me, even if everyone has changed." ”
