Woe and blessing rely on, blessing and misfortune lurk!

On the night of April 14, Liu Yi and the others were in the small courtyard of Yangle County, Liaoxi County, drinking bottles of wine, talking about the wind and moon, and after drinking their chests and galls, Liu Yi stroked a bright and bright bald head, and with a stroke of a big pen, there were eight big characters on the head: "Xiangshi is fierce, and the bladder is burning".

Xiao Yixian frantically chased Liu Yi in the courtyard with few grasses, and the happy time of Wanfo Mountain seemed to reappear.

The next day, everyone simply packed their luggage, ready to leave Yangle County, continue to travel north, when they went out, everyone was happy, after all, they got rid of a harm for Yangle's father, and they were happy!

Walking on the main street of Yangle County, with the increase in the flow of people, Xia Qing, who is good at human feelings, was the first to notice a trace of abnormality, he frowned, hugged the shoulders of the dead Shichen beside him, and said mysteriously, "I said Lao Chen, do you see it?" Although Jin Zhao is dead, instead of celebrating with a crown, the people of Yangle County have a sad face, did you kill the wrong person? ”

Dead Shichen raised his left hand with a broken finger, patted Xia Qing's shoulder heavily, and slapped the flesh on Xia Qing's big face from side to side, and then, he said, "Fart, this Jin Zhao punished widows, killed brothers, and poisoned the family state, it is really a virtue that has a que, that is, he has a second life, and he also received it yesterday!" ”

Xia Qing smiled, "Could it be that you killed the wrong person?" ”

Dead Shichen pinched Xia Qing's waist and eyes, and said viciously, "Head Xia, don't doubt my professional and technical level, I have been in the rivers and lakes with my eldest brother for more than ten years, and I have never killed a person by mistake, and I have never misplaced a person, Jin Zhao, I must be dead!" ”

Xia Qing asked again. "You saw him die after you hit him in the vital spot?"

"That's not true, but since the establishment of my rebuke tiger, the information has always been accurate, and I have never killed a person by mistake, and I have never missed a shot!" Dead Shichen was categorical, without the slightest suspicion that he had killed the wrong person or that he had left a living hole under the sword.

The two quarreled back and forth, and their faces were red.

Dongfang Chunsheng couldn't stand it, coughed heavily, stepped forward to interrupt the two, and reprimanded the juniors, "What's the noise?" Don't do it behind closed doors, just find someone and ask? ”

When the old man's voice fell, he immediately took action, and saw him slowly move to the side of an old teaman on the corner of the street, and when he saw the old teaman sighing, he went up and asked, "Old brother, what is this?" ”

The old teaman glanced at Dongfang Chunsheng, and said with a sad face, "Don't hide it from the old brother, the leader of the Beggar Gang, Jin Zhao, is dead!" ”

Dongfang Chunsheng hurriedly asked, "Oh? Brother, didn't I hear that this Jin Zhao did all kinds of evil things? Wouldn't it be good luck for the world to die? ”

The old teaman sighed heavily, and said weakly, "Woohoo! You're outsiders, aren't you? ”

Without waiting for Dongfang Chunsheng to answer, a team of county soldiers rushed along the main street, and when the old teaman saw this, he immediately kept silent, picked up the tea bag, and hurriedly flowed into the crowd and disappeared.

Liu Yi raised his head slightly, and made a suggestion to Dongfang Chunsheng, who was thinking, "Grandpa Dongfang, there must be demons when things happen, I'm afraid that this Yangle City will have an accident, whether to go or stay, it's better to make plans early." If you want to leave, then you have to leave the city immediately, and if you want to manage it to the end, then you have to plan carefully. ”

Dongfang Chunsheng frowned and said, "Let's check it out first, and then make a decision." ”

Then, the old man rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the three-story Xihua Tower, under the signal of Dongfang Chunsheng, Xia Qing took Yixian and Dongfang Yu with their luggage, and quietly returned to the courtyard.

The Yanxia Inn, which was deliberately lit by the Tiger Gang yesterday, was reluctantly opened today under the boss's overnight repairs, but the building was empty and the business withered.

After Dongfang Chunsheng, Death Shichen, and Liu Yi came to the Yanxia Inn, they found a window position on the third floor, and stared intently at the Xihua Tower opposite.

And today's Xihua Tower did not disappoint the three people who came to investigate, and it was more lively than yesterday.

The whole Xihua Building has changed from red silk to plain white, the circle of red lanterns hanging on the eaves of the top floor has been replaced with white silk plain lamps, the two stone lions in front of the door have hung white linen strips, and on the flagpole next to the stone lions, there are long spirit-summoning flags, which rise and fall lightly with the wind, as if to appease Jin Zhao's soul.

The corner of the window on the third floor of the West Birch Building is wide open, you can clearly see from the outside, this room has been changed to a mourning hall overnight, the curtain of the sky and the ground fills the house, a huge 'Dien' word falls on the side wall behind the coffin, it is very eye-catching, there are two words on both sides of the word 'Dien', respectively, "virtuous virtue is forever" and "the demeanor lasts forever", and the three people who saw it were numb for a while.

Ay! After a hundred years, how the world will cover the coffin, sometimes, I am afraid it is just a piece of paper and a mouth for posterity!

Jin Zhao's red and white things are not unusual, but the strange thing today is that there is a long queue of people lined up under the Xihua Tower.

In the center of the two stone lions in front of the door, a large case was erected, and two beggar gang members dressed in dark blue and with blue cloth on their arms sat next to the desk, looking at the ragged people in front of them with contempt.

The people seem to know the 'rules' very well, they spontaneously lined up, the people who were standing in front of the case showed a bitter face, put the package in their hands on the case, one of the beggar gang members opened the package, looked left and right, and recorded it, and the other beggar gang gave the people who handed in the items a small helmet-sized, wood exterior paint, engraved with the word 'begging' medallion, the people finally felt relieved, and ran away with a thousand thanks!

The items handed in were moved into the house by the other beggar gang members standing beside them.

In this cycle, the people put the objects, food, and supplies in their hands on the case in an orderly manner one by one, waiting for the inspection records, and the people who passed the inspection showed relieved eyes, as if they had escaped life and death.

The three of them looked at each other, this thing is simply strange!

Seeing this, Dead Shichen was a little unconfident, and he wondered, "Could it be that ......, did so-and-so really kill the wrong person?" ”

After running away for half a year, Liu Yi's clear eyes seemed to have something more, which was the wisdom that an adult should have, and he comforted the dead Shichen and said, "Master, don't be presumptuous, Yi'er showed a bitter expression when she watched these people give things, and she didn't feel any grief at all, but she was grateful to Dade when she left." Yi'er speculated from this that Jin Zhao is undoubtedly a wicked person, it is true that the master killed Jin Zhao, and there is another mystery behind the Beggar Gang, which is also true! ”

Dongfang Chunsheng looked at Liu Yi deeply, and said bluntly, "Yi'er, you have such scheming and vision at a young age, and I don't know how my apprentice Liu Quansheng educated you, let alone whether it is good or bad!" ”

"Hey, hey! Grandpa Dongfang, it is not a bad thing to have a wise heart, but it is a bad thing to have a thief's heart! Liu Yi dragged Dongfang Chunsheng's cuffs and coquettishly, which made Dongfang Chunsheng a little helpless.

While the conversation was being held, suddenly, the cry suddenly broke out downstairs in Xihua.

The thoughts of the three of them drifted back to the case, only to see two strong men of the Beggar Gang put the ragged people in front of the case aside, and fell heavily to the ground, and the Beggar Gang member who was in charge of the inspection snorted coldly, threw the twenty white barbarian heads placed on the case on the person who fell to the ground, and said disdainfully, "Do you want food when you are a beggar gang?" Twenty brutes like life-saving? Phew, I'm afraid I'll get my mouth dirty when I talk to you! This person, no cards. ”

Hearing the words 'no cards', the thin man knelt on the ground as if he had been hit by five thunderbolts, and then he immediately crawled in front of the two disciples of the Tiger Gang and howled, "Uncle! Uncle! I beg you, I beg you, just give me a sign! My family is poor, and these 20 barbarians are already a month's ration for me and my wife and children! Uncle, uncle, please, give me a brand! I'll make you a cow and a horse, and I'll be a slave if you're not listed! ”

The thin man who fell to the ground kowtowed regardless of it, even if he knocked out the blood, he didn't realize it, and the blood, tears, sweat and the muddy water of early spring were mixed together, which made people moved.

The beggar disciple did not show great kindness, but instead glanced at the strong man standing on either side of him, and the two strong men picked up the thin man and dragged him farther away from the West Birch Tower.

I saw him standing there dumbfounded, not daring to leave, nor daring to approach!

The front of the building was so repeated, and after about an hour, the crowd dispersed in front of the door, and it was silent again.

The thin man who was watching from afar tiptoed back the cold brute heads scattered on the ground, and cried and muttered while picking them up, "I must let my wife and children eat before leaving!" I, I can't stand it! ”

The thin man wrapped his head in rags, and the thin man hid in the alley, and then there was a loud cry of 'ah' in the alley.

When the emaciated man wakes up, he finds himself on top of a soft collapse.

In front of him, six people, two dogs, and a bird were looking at him in unison, and he was so frightened that he shivered, and immediately sat up, pointed to a bald head, and asked, "You, you, who are you?" ”

Dongfang Chunsheng stretched his brows and comforted softly, "Young man, don't be afraid, my name is Dongfang Chunsheng, my name is Dongfang Chunsheng, our group has traveled here, and I just saw you suddenly 'fainting' in the alley, so I helped you back!" ”

"Ahh I remember, someone knocked me out! You saved me? Thank you very much! After the thin man came to his senses, he immediately got up and thanked everyone, but they didn't know that it was everyone in the house who did it.

After the thin man sobered up, Xia Qing opened the conversation box and asked with a grin, "Brother, what kind of trouble are you making in Xihua Tower today?" ”

"Hey, people are dying, and they don't care about this mouth!" The thin man paused for a moment, and said bitterly, "My name is Zhang Dalun, a poor family, a wife and two sons, a few acres of land, a few years ago the imperial court lightly taxed, the county lord is also considered benevolent, plus he has eaten hard, after a few years of hard work, people have become cattle farming, grass houses have become brick houses, and the small life is very promising." ”

Speaking of this, the thin man suddenly had a sparkle in his eyes, and said, "A few years ago, Jin Zhao succeeded as the leader of the Qiling Gang and General Le Ergoma Wuci, I don't know why, this..., the price of grain in Liaoxi County has been falling gradually, and a stone of grain can not be sold for five baht, and the land has been planted for a year, and even the seed money cannot be recovered." Later, the beggar helped this gang of miscellaneous people, and made a poll tax, the small life is really unsustainable, five years ago sold the cattle, three years ago sold the house, last year the field was given to a rich family, became a tenant, life to live this virtue, I, I don't know why! ”

Zhang Da couldn't control his emotions, and suddenly cried loudly, and everyone was silent, sighing, or sympathizing.

Zhang Dalun continued to choke up, "You heroes don't know, neighbors have also gone to the nearby county seat or Liaodong County to sell grain, but on the way, they either encountered robbers or encountered disasters. I've thought about leaving here, but where can I go? There is an old saying that 'although the five flavors are sweet, the rice millet is better first', although the wandering is chic, where is it worth guarding a few acres of land! ”

"Yesterday, I don't know which hero slaughtered the Jin Zhao thief, it's really refreshing. Last night, I just wanted to celebrate secretly, but I received a notice from the Beggar Gang to 'harvest spring fat'. ”

Harvesting spring fat? What does that mean?

Zhang Dalun looked at everyone in a daze, wiped his nose, and explained, "Oh! That's the case, in recent years, the eastern border is relatively stopped, so the general of Wuci Le Er will divide the soldiers and horses into two parts every year, in Liaoxi County to carry out military exercises, the sword has no eyes, the exercise will inevitably have damage, this 'harvest spring fat' is to pay tribute to the begging spirit gang, the tribute is qualified to give us a 'begging' card, hang it in front of the door, the officers and soldiers will not bother during the exercise! I saw with my own eyes a family that was not listed, and was 'mistakenly killed' by Le Er, and the whole house died! ”

......

"It's hateful, it's extremely hateful, Liaoxi is not a rich and rich place, and the people have been looted out of this bit of plaster! How can this be justified, how can this be justified! ”

After sending Zhang Dalun away, Dongfang Chun blew his beard angrily and stared, a face full of wrinkles turned from red to white, and then to red, feeling unhappy in the house, Dongfang Chunsheng ran to the yard and scolded, fortunately, this triad is in the middle of nowhere, otherwise it will definitely provoke right and wrong.

The dead Shichen was stunned and slaughtered Jin Zhao, is it joy or sorrow? I'm afraid even he can't figure it out.

It was obvious that he had seen Dongfang Chunsheng lose his temper, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly hid in the house and recited the scriptures.

Among the group, only Liu Yi and Xia Qing can be regarded as sober, Xia Qing once worshiped Taichang Temple Taichang Cheng, and can be regarded as a middle-level cadre in the Han bureaucracy, waiting for Dongfang Chun to give birth to an evil fire, Xia Qing walked to the courtyard with his head down, "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, Lao Chen killed Jin Zhao, and he was very happy, but he didn't expect that this Jin Zhao was just a chess piece, the real mastermind behind the scenes, and he had to find this martial arts general Le Er." Hmph, a small military general, far away at the border has increased his madness, a soldier and horse have increased his confidence, and the eagle claw lackeys have increased his earth's spirit, so he has this act of being a man of manipulation and prudence, this thing is ......, and it is very different from what Ling Yuan encountered! ”

"Boss Xia, are you saying that when it comes to the affairs of the official family, we shouldn't take care of it?" Liu Yi's thick eyebrows were furrowed, and although there was no anger in his eyes, his tone was obviously a little dissatisfied.

Before Xia Qing could speak, Dongfang Chunsheng immediately got up and scolded angrily, "Joke, the world is the world of the people of the world, in case of injustice, when you live and die for profit, how can you avoid it because of misfortune?" ”

In the past few months, every time Dongfang Chunsheng lost his temper, Xia Qing would always laugh and laugh.

But this time, Xia Qing unusually didn't smile, seeing him glance at his big head, his eyebrows raised, and said, "Since ancient times, chivalry has violated the ban with martial arts, Confucianism has violated the law with literature, and the court has ordered officials, how can it be said that if you kill it, you will kill it?" If Lao Chen goes to assassinate Le Er, regardless of success or failure, once this kind of atmosphere opens, there will be endless disasters. The rivers and lakes are in trouble, killing a Jin Zhao will kill it, and the court rarely pays attention to the fighting of the rivers and lakes, but if everything crosses the red line, and whether it is good or evil, "Han Law" will not talk about human feelings. ”

Dead Shichen immediately opened his mouth to refute, "When the road is uneven, draw a knife to help, Fang is the style of my generation, today the road is uneven, you don't pull out the knife for him, another day you have injustice, who will pull out the knife for you?" ”

Dongfang Chunsheng said angrily, "The imperial court, the imperial court, this Liaoxi county guard has not even seen a shadow until now, where did the imperial court come from?" This music is like a prince in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, so can it be repaid? Today, Le Er can sell grain and other countries, will he sell land, soldiers, and country the next day? ”

People will always lose their minds in anger, Xia Qing did not continue to argue with Dongfang Chunsheng, turned around and asked Dead Shichen, "Lao Chen, you are in the realm of breaking the city, and you will take the head of the enemy general among the thousands of troops, can you do it?" ”

Dead Shichen had an embarrassed expression on his face, he sighed to himself, and his face was sad, "First of all, regardless of good and evil, the Han Dynasty selected the generals of the border army and the generals of the armed forces at least to push the monument above the middle and middle of the tablet, and those who have to lead an army are mostly armed with superior force. If I break through with a single sword, I am afraid that I can only barely break through a captain of soldiers and horses in this broken city realm. Moreover, it is good to say that this general is the Son of Heaven himself, and he holds the edict of appointment, if he is killed, I am afraid that I will remove the Tiger Gang from the rivers and lakes. ”

It seems that the power is as big as the Tiger Gang, and it is no match for the anger of the Son of Heaven.

The small courtyard fell silent instantly, and even the two big yellow dogs were lying in the corner of the wall.

"Huh? Grandpa Dongfang, you woke me up just now, Yangle County, as the county seat of Liaoxi, has such a big incident, where is the county guard now? ”

Liu Yi suddenly came to a mouthful, but it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, breaking the situation, as the head of a county, why didn't he come out to calm the people's grievances?

Before everyone came back to their senses, Dongfang Chunsheng, who had been in a hurry all his life, threw the door away, it seems that this county guard is going to suffer!
