Two days later, southwest of Wuzhou, Wanshui Town.

At noon, the overcast sky made the buildings of the old town gray, and it looked as if it was dawn or dusk.

Wanshui Town is located along the Wu River, which is not very large, but because the Wuxi Canal meets the Wu River in the upper reaches, there are many boats on the river, and there are often small medicine merchants or Jianghu tourists anchoring here.

There is only one old street in the town that runs from west to east, and there are inns and liquor shops on both sides of the street, and the streets are full of medicine farmers who set up stalls.

Compared with the bustle of other places, an inn in the center of the town is much quieter than other places, and there is silence in the lobby, and a few tables of diners hurriedly finish their meals, then leave their silver and leave quickly.

Occasionally, a hungry traveler walked up to the gate, looked at it, and then turned away.

A few people entered, and they ate without saying a word.

This happened because there was a woman sitting by the window of the inn.

A very striking woman, to be exact.

The woman was dressed in snow-white clothes, and her skirt and white shoes were dotted with a few red plums, which were spotlessly clean.

The woman has a slender waist and a full chest, although the white gauze hat covers the face and cannot see the cheeks, but just looking at the posture, she also knows that it is one in a million in the world.

Such a woman, sitting alone in an old inn, surrounded by wolves and tigers, looks like she is in danger of being doomed at any time.

But the truth is quite the opposite.

Women are very common on the rivers and lakes, but beautiful ones are rare, and it is even less common to walk alone.

A woman who dares to dress up beautifully and appears alone in the place where the three religions and nine streams converge, as long as the people in the rivers and lakes have a normal brain, they all know that they must have stunts.

The woman in front of the window is dressed incompatible with the rivers and lakes, in the eyes of the people of the rivers and lakes, it is not beautiful, but a fresh and green bait, those who dare to touch it, waiting for the jaw iron hook, and then disemboweling, until there are no bones left after being eaten.

Although the woman just looked out the window calmly, and did not reveal any danger from beginning to end, the people in the restaurant consciously retreated, and they didn't even look at it.

Even sat for a long time without ordering, the shopkeeper Xiao Er turned a blind eye, and only prayed in his heart that this inexplicable female evil star would leave quickly.

After the silence of the inn had lasted for a long time, there was a slight commotion in the street outside:

"Catch him for me......"

"You're looking for death!"

……

The diners in the inn, along with the woman in white at the window, all turned their eyes to look at an alley in the distance.

A young man of fifteen or sixteen years old ran out of the alley, dressed in coarse linen clothes, carrying an oxtail knife, the blade of which was dyed a bright blood red, and looked as dazzling as a woman in white in the gray town.

Behind the young man were six men, the thugs in front were armed with knives, guns and sticks, and the back was a man in a brocade robe, holding a knife in his right hand and covering his abdomen with his left hand to chase and kill.

Such a scene is too common in the rivers and lakes, and the people in the inn took a look at it from afar and continued to eat.

The woman in white looked at it for a moment, and saw that the young man with the knife was quite brave, and the five men who were still forced in the corner were not easy to get close, and asked:

"What's going on over there?"

The voice was ethereal, but it was natural, and it was even difficult for others to attract attention to this voice, but the shopkeeper who was standing at the door understood that he was talking to him for the first time, and hurriedly turned around and politely explained:

"It's Second Master Xu of the Wanshui Gang, who is running a gambling stall in the alley. The kid who was beaten was a foreigner, and he came here two days ago, saying that he was looking for his father, and he asked at the inn in the town......"

"Did you find it?"

"Nope. Entering from here, it is Qianli Wu Mountain, and there are often Jianghu people who go to the mountains to dig medicine, and they get lost or are eaten by tigers and bears, and the corpses cannot be found. ”

"How did you conflict with the gambling stall?"

"I don't know, maybe I don't have the money to gamble twice, and I'm in a hurry to lose......"

……

Between a few small words, the young man with a knife, who was weak and weak, was pressed to the ground by two men with guns and sticks.

Xu Erye stepped forward covering his wounds, his eyes were furious, and he wanted to cut off the young man's right arm with a knife.

Seeing this, the woman in white raised her right sleeve robe, slid out her soft and boneless white five fingers, and pinched a copper coin in her fingertips.

But just as it was about to pop up, there was a sound on the street half a street away:

Hmmm-

The robe was slightly broken.

The whole street was watching the battle situation from afar, and seeing that Xu Erye was about to pick up a knife to cut off people's hands and feet when he was pressing people to death, some chivalrous Jianghu guests also moved.

But before everyone could speak, they found that a figure suddenly appeared in front of Xu Erye, who was wearing a brocade robe.

The others didn't even see where the figure came from, and when the figure stood still, they saw that the person who came was quite tall, wearing a black robe and a long knife wrapped in black cloth around his waist.

The person who came wore a hat, and his handsome face under the hat looked gentle and elegant without half a ferocity, but his eyes were as sharp as two sharp knives.

Xu Erye slashed down with a knife, and as soon as he fell halfway, he was grabbed by the slender five fingers of the black-robed man, and he was steadily welded to death in mid-air, and it was difficult to move down for half a minute.

Xu Erye was stopped, and the anger of the knife on his body was all transferred to the person who came:

"Who are you? Dare to block Lao Tzu......"

Squeak –

Before the sentence was finished, everyone saw the black-robed man holding the back of the knife with his bare hand, exerting force with his left hand.

Then the iron knife in his hand was bent and deformed visibly with the naked eye, and the sound it made was not loud, but it made the hearts of the entire street of Jianghu people terrified.

Jingle Bell ~~

The bent iron knife fell to the ground, and the old street fell into a dead silence.

The thug next to him quickly threw away his blade and retreated, Xu Erye was completely angry, with a little doubt in his eyes, and said with a strong momentum:

"Family Teacher Title Moon Building ......"

Halfway through the conversation, the black-robed man in front of him slipped out of his hand with the word 'catch' on it.

Judging from the style, it is either the six-door reaper or the black lord of Yama.

As soon as the sign came out, there was an immediate change in the town where dragons and snakes were mixed, and many people quietly left through the back door and window.

People in the rivers and lakes do not obey control, and they really do not take officers and soldiers seriously in peacetime, and there are not a few who dare to act with officials, but the premise of horizontal is that they can fight.

In the case that it can't be beaten, the sign on the waist of the official is an edict of death for the people of the rivers and lakes!

When Second Master Xu saw that it was someone from the government, his face turned blue, and he didn't even care about the chest and abdominal injuries, so he hurriedly raised his hand and smiled:

"The adults are angry, and the little ones have no eyes and no beads, and they don't recognize the identity of the adults. The small one was also cut off, and the skull was scared and frightened when the skull was hot, and it never meant to be murdered in the street......"

"You're from the Moon Tower?"

"This matter has nothing to do with Lingyue Tower, a personal grudge. I'm just a famous apprentice, pulling the tiger skin banner to scare people, and the Yueyue Building may not know me......"

In the past two days, King Wu has just had an accident, and the imperial court team is rushing to Wuzhou. Second Master Xu obviously also knew that because of his bad things, the master was targeted by the imperial court, what would happen to him, and he hurriedly cleared up the relationship.

The woman in white in the window looked at it for a moment, wanting to see how this handsome official would deal with this matter, but her eyes moved slightly halfway, and she turned to a figure on the side of the town that was flying away.

"Little Er, check out."

"Holo...... Huh? ”

The shopkeeper who was looking at the door hurriedly turned around when he heard the sound, but he saw that the table in the window was empty, and the woman in white disappeared without a trace, leaving only a copper coin on the table.

The shopkeeper looked blank, looked around, ran to the door and looked up and down, and scratched his head for a while:

"Hey, what the hell......"

————

The gray town was almost silent, and there was not a single human voice except for the slightest movement of walking.

The night terror hall stood with a knife on the street, in front of him was a brocade-robed man who nodded and bowed, and the young man in yellow who was originally held down got up at this time, but he didn't dare to run, just stood in place with scars and a pale face.

In the past two days, I took a fast boat, galloped to Wuzhou day and night, and only got out of the Wuxi Canal this morning.

Night Terror Hall originally wanted to go directly to Jianyang City, which was dozens of miles away, but just now when I passed through this town, I found that there was an abnormality in the town, so I stopped by to take a look.

Since he came, and encountered something again, the Night Terror Hall checked here, put away the sign, and looked at the young man in yellow standing next to him:

"Why the fight?"

Xu Erye covered his stomach with his hands and hurriedly spoke:

"This kid just drew his knife when he didn't agree with ......"

"I didn't ask."

“……”

The young man in yellow stood in place, obviously a little afraid, and whispered:

"My father came to Wanshui Town to dig medicine a few days ago, and he never returned, so I came to look for it, and after looking for a few days, I heard that my father took a job in his hands and went to the mountains with someone to dig medicine...... Then he didn't come back, I asked him, and he said he didn't know, so I went under the knife. ”

Night Terror Hall turned to look at Second Master Xu.

Second Master Xu gritted his teeth: "My lord, I can't be the master of this matter...... Grown-slow, ah-"

A scream.

Night Terror Hall hooked his toes, picked up the oxtail knife that fell on the ground, inserted it into Xu Erye's right foot, pierced it through the foot and nailed it into the bluestone, staring at Xu Erye's eyes:

"You think I'm talking to you about it?"

Xu Erye sat on the ground with a pale face, covering his right leg, didn't dare to struggle, and hurriedly said:

"He is a steward of King Wu's Mansion, and he often finds some people from the rivers and lakes who are good at it to dig medicine in the mountains. There are many tigers and wolves in the mountains, and it is too common for people to die in accidents, and his father was unlucky not to come back, no wonder I. ”

Night Terror Hall knew that Wu Wangfu was testing medicine on living people, so it was not surprising that he asked:

"Since the person was confiscated by King Wu's mansion, why didn't you tell him the truth?"

Xu Erye opened his mouth, hesitated slightly, and the knife inserted into the sole of his foot turned down, his face was immediately distorted, and he hurriedly gritted his teeth and spoke:

"King Wu's Mansion originally gave a hundred taels of silver, two days ago King Wu had a big accident and had escaped from Jianyang City...... I'll give him some money. ”

After asking about the situation, Night Terror felt that this person was of little use, let go of the handle of the knife, and looked at the few thugs next to him:

"In public, he injured people with weapons because of wealth, and was sentenced to three years in prison. You send him to the government for trial, and tomorrow will not come, and he will be beheaded and shown to the public, and you will sit together. If you think you can run away, you can try. ”

"Your Excellency?!" Second Master Xu's face turned white: "I will pay the silver, and I promise that I will never do it again in the future...... My lord! ……”

After a few thugs carried Xu Er Ye away, he looked at the young man in yellow with a pale face:

"You hurt others with a weapon first, and you should be guilty of the same crime, but you will not be held accountable if there is a reason for the incident, and you will go home and face the wall for three months to reflect. Remember in the future, don't draw a knife if you don't have the ability, I won't be able to save you a second time. ”

The young man in yellow secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly surrendered his hand:

"Thank you, Lord for saving your life...... My lord, my father's martial arts are very good, it is impossible to be harmed by a tiger and a bear, and I hope that my lord can help the grass people find out the murderer......"

Night Terror Hall knew that his father had most likely died at the hands of King Wu, and he used to give some money for the bereavement, but he didn't want to do too much to let the rumors reach the ears of the court, and thought about it:

"You're waiting in town. If your father were alive, he would have come back to be with you; If you die, you will also have someone come and give you an explanation. What's your dad's name? ”

"My father, Zhang Wenyuan, a native of Huangting County, Zezhou, often comes to Wuzhou to run medicinal materials, and has several scars on the left side of his face, which was injured by a mountain tiger when he was young...... I left home in the middle of last month and haven't returned to ......."

Night Terror took out a black booklet from his bosom, recorded the information, and turned to leave the town......
