Chapter 12 Tongzhou Blood
Tongzhou, located in the northeast of the Zhou Dynasty, is relatively remote compared to the other seventeen states in the Zhou Dynasty, so it is a bit inconspicuous.
The largest restaurant in Tongzhou City is called Fuxing Restaurant, which is famous for its fine wine and chef's delicacies.
Only dignitaries can enter this gate and enjoy the luxury rarely found in this remote city.
"Do you two have a letter of recommendation from the city?" A warrior named Xin Youpeng stepped forward to stop the two who were about to enter the door. "This is the rule of our restaurant, and we can only enter through the recommendation of the nobles in the city."
One of the visitors was dressed in white and looked like a scholar. The other was dressed in red and veiled, and his figure was graceful and exquisite.
These two kinds of costumes are rare in Tongzhou City, and Xin Youpeng knows that the two of them are travelers from afar, so they don't have to be polite
Hearing this, the woman in red was very unhappy in her heart, she chuckled and said, "A mere watchdog, dare to be so presumptuous? ”
"What did you say?" Xin Youpeng was suddenly furious, and he wanted to step forward to teach this foreign woman who didn't know the height of the sky.
His confidence stems from his knowledge of the place, the forces in the city are intertwined, intriguing with each other, but when they encounter outsiders, they will fight with the enemy and destroy the enemy together.
In the hundred years since the city was founded, on the green hills outside the city, I don't know how many corpses of the so-called river dragon have been buried.
"Watch dogs? It's a bit of a bad name, so you can't call someone that way next time. The scholar walked between the two of them with a paper letter in his hand, he threw the paper letter to Xin Youpeng, and then turned his head to the woman and said slowly. A rabbit is in a hurry to bite someone, let alone such a vicious dog. ”
Xin Youpeng forcibly picked up the letter with murderous intent, and after confirming that it was correct, he gritted his teeth and said, "I offended the two adults, please go upstairs and sit down." ”
Seeing the change in Xin Youpeng's attitude, the woman couldn't help but sneer, and the laughter clearly reached Xin Youpeng's ears.
She deliberately walked past him and followed the scholar up the stairs of the restaurant, and the little two in the store hurriedly came out to greet him and arrange the position.
"It's a shame that he can hold back and not do it, otherwise I would have been able to fight back justifiably." Seeing that there were no outsiders around, the woman complained to the scholar.
But the scholar didn't seem to hear her, and he looked out the window at the green hills.
"If I'm not mistaken, there should be a sect called the Void Xuan Sect in that direction." The scholar waved the paper fan and said to the woman.
When the woman heard the scholar's words, she chuckled and responded, "Why does Yijun ask knowingly? ”
"After many years, when I see that sword again, I will naturally feel emotional." The scholar picked up the wine glass on the table and drank the wine from the glass. "I don't know what kind of story the sword and the owner of the sword will leave behind this time."
"Yijun laughed, this is just a story that has long ended, otherwise how would we be here?" At some point, the woman walked behind the scholar, leaned forward, gently grabbed the scholar's chest with her arm, and whispered in the scholar's ear.
"I'm not here just for that." The scholar broke free from the woman's embrace, "I'm going to go out, and I'll leave the matter here to you." ”
The woman pursed her lips and made a disgruntled sound.
In an instant, the scholar disappeared in front of her.
The woman looked around and found that there were many secret doors in the restaurant, and behind the secret doors, there were several dangerous smells.
This restaurant is not as simple as it seems.
The woman seemed to have guessed where the scholar was, so she beckoned Xiao Er to add wine and serve food, and began to wait for the scholar's return.
。。。
Qi Xiugang is the only son of the city lord of Tongzhou City, and he has been favored since he was a child.
Because of this, his personality has become high-flying and domineering, traveling with the evil young people in the city all day long, and doing all the things that bully men and women.
At this time, it was afternoon, Qi Xiugang and his friends met outside the Fuxing Restaurant, ready to drink in the restaurant, and enjoy what only this restaurant will offer...
When he walked outside the restaurant, he found that Xin Youpeng, the janitor of the restaurant, was pulling one of his close friends, talking excitedly about something.
A close friend named Liu Zhiqin saw Qi Xiugang's arrival and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
He put his mouth close to Qi Xiugang's ear and relayed all the words Xin Youpeng had just said to Qi Xiugang.
"How can this be reasonable, this revenge is not a gentleman!" After listening to Liu Zhiqin's words, Qi Xiugang was furious, "Brother Xin usually takes good care of us, but today he was insulted by outsiders, and I can't swallow this breath no matter what." ”
Xin Youpeng and Liu Zhiqin saw Qi Xiugang's reaction, and they were full of admiration in their hearts, and they invariably said words of praise in their mouths.
"Brother Xin, please give me that letter of recommendation to watch for a moment." Qi Xiugang, who calmed down, said to Xin Youpeng.
Xin Youpeng took out the paper letter from his sleeve and handed it to Qi Xiugang.
Qi Xiugang opened the crumpled envelope and took out the letter inside.
"Brother Xin, I'm afraid you have been deceived by a traitor." After reading the content of the letter, Qi Xiugang said with a smile.
"Why did Qi Gongzi say this" Xin Youpeng's words could not hide the excitement.
"The handwriting and seal on this letter are almost identical to my father's, but look here." Qi Xiugang handed out the letter paper and pointed his finger on one of the letters, "Father has always cherished pen and ink, and the color of this word cannot be so deep." ”
"I see, Qi Gongzi is worthy of being a peerless hero of wisdom and bravery." Liu Zhiqin on the side expressed his heartfelt admiration.
"Since this is the case, then this kind of person of unknown origin does not need to bother the city lord to take action in person, and it is feasible to take down this fang?" Xin Youpeng stretched out his tongue and licked his dry lips, "It's just that the male thief has disappeared before, leaving only the accompanying woman sitting upstairs." ”
"Oh?" Qi Xiugang's eyes lit up, "You said there is only one woman living upstairs?" ”
"Exactly." Xin Youpeng saw his thoughts, "It seems that there is something wrong with the words before the next one, it is better for Qi Gongzi to go and capture the thief alone, and we will wait around the restaurant to prevent the thief from escaping." ”
"Brother Xin really won my heart, so let's do so." Qi Xiugang was very satisfied with Xin Youpeng's reaction.
Looking at Qi Xiugang who walked into the restaurant, Liu Zhiqin's heart was full of envy, and he didn't know if Qi Gongzi would give him some leftovers after enjoying it.
In the restaurant, the woman in red drank the wine on the table, her face was tired, she supported her face with her hands, and her eyes wandered away from the window.
At this time, a son of Yushu in the wind stopped beside the woman.
The moment he saw the woman, Qi Xiugang's heart was deeply attracted by it.
The graceful posture and hazy veil made Qi Xiugang's mouth dry.
It's not bad to include her in the room and sing every night, as for that scholar, Xin Youpeng should be able to solve it.
"Girl, who are you waiting for, if you have nothing to do at this time, why don't you accompany my son to drink a few more glasses of wine?" Qi Xiugang smiled and sat down in the opposite seat of the woman.
Seeing Qi Xiugang sit down, the woman turned her head and said with a smile: "There are not only watchdogs in this city, but even the minions who do miscellaneous work are so ignorant?" ”
A crisp slap sounded in the restaurant.
I saw Qi Xiugang stand up and slap the woman's face with his palm.
The veil in front of the woman's face was knocked off by the hand, and the face of the goddess was revealed.
"Say that this son is a minion? Come on, take her down for me, I'm going to humiliate her to the death, and then cut her with a thousand cuts! ”
Qi Xiugang's expression was already distorted, and he shouted loudly around.
The other guests in the restaurant did not seem surprised by this scene, most of them still drank and enjoyed their food, and a few even sneered and looked at the woman with pity.
Several big men dressed in black and masked with their heads covered rushed out of the secret door of the restaurant and formed a circle around the woman, making it difficult for her to fly.
"If you take off your clothes now and kneel in front of my son, my son will be magnanimous, and send you to the Qinglou after you get tired of playing, and find friends to honor you in the future."
After the arrival of the man in black, Qi Xiugang's expression returned to its original state.
Of course, in his heart, he had already thought of countless means that could torture women to survive and not to die.
After all, this kind of thing is not new to him.
"Why, until now, you are still lucky, and I hope that your concubine will come to save you?" Qi Xiugang let out an exaggerated laugh, "Maybe he has been captured by Ben Gongzi's men on the way back, and now he is kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy." ”
"You bedbug crawling out of the mud, are you done talking nonsense?" There was no trace of a smile on the woman's face, she looked at Qi Xiugang with cold eyes, and the chill in her tone made people feel like falling into an ice cellar.
"No matter how calm you are, there is nowhere to escape. Okay.,Let's do it.,Break her legs first.,And then let this son.。。。 ”
Qi Xiugang's voice stopped abruptly, because he noticed that there was a dead silence around him, and he was the only one left.
Something warm liquid came into contact with the back of his foot.
He turned around and saw a river of blood in front of him.
"Youkai, youkai!" He could no longer maintain an image of unhurriedness.
At this time, he only had the word "escape" in his mind.
"So, who's still taking chances now?" A woman's voice came from behind him.
Qi Xiu just looked ahead, and the corpses scattered everywhere completely sealed his retreat.
He could only turn around and hope that the people in black behind the woman would punish the woman here.
But in the next moment, he was again in despair.
The woman was still seated, but on the table in front of her, there were several more nameless heads.
Qi Xiugang rushed to the window like a fly, and shouted out of the window: "Come on, there are thieves who assassinate Ben Gongzi!" Come on! ”
But even his younger brother Liu Zhiqin and his subordinate Xin Youpeng did not respond to his call for help.
"Do you know who Ben Gongzi is? If you let my son go, I will ask my father, the city lord of Tongzhou City, to let you out of the city. Qi Xiugang collapsed by the window and said to the woman in a trembling tone, "Otherwise, the treasures in the treasure house in the city are also up to you... ”
"Your mouth full of nonsense is really unpleasant." The woman walked towards Qi Xiugang step by step.
On a sunny afternoon, a shrill scream came from the restaurant, and then quickly fell silent again.
。。。
In the Tongzhou City Lord's Mansion, the city lord Qi Zhenxiong took a routine nap in the afternoon.
"Didn't I say don't bother me at this time, no matter how big things are?"
He was awakened by a loud noise, and his heart was quite unhappy.
"Then it's really not the right time for me to come, I hope the city lord doesn't take it to heart." An unfamiliar voice came into his ears.
In an instant, Qi Zhenxiong stood up from his chair and made a defensive gesture.
"Who are you? Trespassing on the City Lord's Mansion is a serious crime, and no matter how skilled you are, you will not be able to escape the pursuit of the imperial court. ”
Although there was a threat in his words, he was already in a cold sweat at this time.
For strange visitors, the guards trained by his own hands will not let them go easily, and the fact that he can come here shows that his strength has surpassed the guards too much, and he has not even given them a chance to report the news.
In the face of such a strong man, Qi Zhenxiong knew that he could not resist, so he could only hope that he would be forced by the deterrence of the imperial court and retreat.
"I didn't expect Tongzhou, which is called a wild land and has serious banditry, to be so afraid of the imperial court." The white-clothed scholar put away the paper fan in his hand and approached Qi Zhenxiong step by step.
Hearing this, Qi Zhenxiong knew that he could no longer avoid fighting, and he raised his heart to the best, intending to fight the scholar for his life.
"In Xia Han Yi, he is the deputy commander of the DPRK and China. I hope that the city lord will not take such a posture and treat him below. ”
I don't know when, a scholar named Han Yi has come to Qi Zhenxiong's side, and he said slowly in Qi Zhenxiong's ear in a playful tone.
Commander? Qi Zhenxiong seemed to remember something, a look of despair welled up in his pupils, he could no longer stabilize his body, and fell straight back.
If what the scholar said is true, then he is the one who came from the most terrifying and violent organ of the Zhou Dynasty, and was called the shadow prime minister by the officials of the court.
The lieutenant of the commander is even more terrifying than the commander himself.
For Qi Zhenxiong, who had heard of his various deeds, even if he was given 10,000 guts, he did not dare to have any thoughts of resistance.
With the last trace of luck, he asked Han Yi, "Why did your lord come this time?" ”
Han Yi responded with a smile: "I came to Tongzhou this time, naturally to clear the villains for the imperial court and show the sky with blood. ”
"If that's the case, the villain begs the adults to mention my head to Beijing, just to save my son Qi Xiugang's life." Qi Zhenxiong asked Han Yi for mercy in a trembling voice.
"That Qi Xiugang, who ravaged several folk girls and carried many souls? He is probably enjoying endless torture now, and this fate suits him quite well. ”
With that, Han Yi took out the folding fan from his sleeve and walked out of the house.
Before Han Yi's words were finished, Qi Zhenxiong's eyes had lost color, and his mouth kept repeating whispers that could not be heard, and he didn't know what he was saying.
On this day, the blood in Tongzhou City was surging to the sky, and countless unjust souls were relieved. But even if the officials sent by the imperial court repeatedly investigated, they could not find out the truth of this bloody case. This also became the first major unsolved case in the history of the Zhou Dynasty.
At dusk, the scholar in white and the woman in red came out of the city gate and headed west...
