Chapter 4: The Case of Murder (4)
This time, Nangong Ling didn't even say anything.
"Hehe, it doesn't matter if he is a saint or not, the saint's neighbor is not necessarily a saint, the gangsters in the capital and the uncle are all neighbors of the emperor's uncle, what's the difference? A few more people join in the fun, that's what I want. "Zhu Wenyu is the most annoying and boring journey, and he can't wait to get something out and have fun.
After all, Nangong Ling is also a teenager, although he has a calm personality, he also likes Zhu Wenyu's naughty nonsense, knowing the meaning of this ghost boy, he also smiled silently.
The two deliberately slowed down their horses' pace, until it was almost dark, and the lights in Qufu City were in sight in front of them, and the two of them still believed in the horses and walked slowly, as if they didn't feel that there were fewer pedestrians on the official road, and the four people behind them also slowed down and followed not far away.
There was a slightly dense forest in front of him, Zhu Wenyu swept his eyes, deliberately stretched his arms on the horse, yawned a particularly exaggerated way, and said loudly: "Ah, wood, I'll be in the city soon, I'll pee." "The vulgar language is really different from the outfit of this scholar. With that, he turned over and dismounted, and led the horse into the forest next to the official road. Nangong Ling naturally understood what he meant, so he dismounted and followed him into the dense forest without a sound.
Sure enough, less than half a bag of cigarettes after entering the forest, Zhu Wenyu had just finished peeing, and he heard a few "hehe" sounds, only to see four black shadows surrounded by the horse in the dark, and there were still a few shiny short knives in his hands.
"What do you want to do?" Zhu Wenyu took two steps back, pretending to be panicked and asked in a trembling voice, looking like a scholar who had been greatly frightened, and almost laughed out loud when he saw this Nangong Ling: "This Brother Zhu is really deceiving the dead." He followed Zhu Wenyu silently and took two steps back, but that panicked look really couldn't be pretended, fortunately, in the dark, those people couldn't see his calm face and no trace of panic at all.
"Hehe, little minister, obediently take out all the money, the uncles will spare your lives if they are kind, otherwise, slaughtering you is no different from slaughtering two little sheep." The slightly taller black shadow in the middle was clearly the leader of the four.
"In broad daylight, you ...... How dare you block the road and rob it? No...... Aren't you afraid of the king's law? Zhu Wenyu was still acting, still pretending to be trembling.
"Hehe, less wordy, provoke Lao Tzu's sexuality, please eat bandao noodles, take it out obediently, don't let the uncles wait impatiently!"
"Brother Zhu, don't tease them, punish us for entering the town." After all, Nangong Ling is calm and old, and his interest in this kind of cat catching mouse game is obviously not too high, not to mention that he is just a ruffian hooligan, and he is not even qualified to pass the trick, so he just said a few words after Zhu Wenyu teased him.
"Huh? Haha, this little chick has a lot of tone, it seems that she doesn't want to live anymore...... Ah......h It turned out that at this moment, Zhu Wenyu's "Thunder Soft Sword" was unsheathed and one of his left ears had been cut off.
"Boss, what's wrong?" Zhu Wenyu had already returned the Thunder Sword to its sheath, and the extremely fast technique was at most a flash of white light, and the minion next to him didn't know what was going on, and asked inexplicably.
"Run—" The boss shouted, covering his ears and turning to run.
"Who dares to run? Stop!" Zhu Wenyu shouted.
"Ahh
Zhu Wenyu and Nangong Ling rode towards Qufu City, and the four thugs in front of them tied their hands behind their backs and walked in front of the horses. The three of them wrapped their heads in cloth, and stains of blood could still be seen on their clothes.
The six of them reached the gate of the county yamen, it was already dark, and the yamen had long been closed, but there were still lights in the courtyard. Zhu Wenyu dismounted and didn't care about 3721, picked up the drum hammer and banged the drum. The drums were particularly loud in the dark, and even several houses next to the county government were lit up with oil lamps.
The gate of the county government squeaked open, and a person who looked like a government official came out angrily: "Which one doesn't want to die at this time to play the drum?" ”
"Call your county master out!" Zhu Wenyu said with a big grin. Later, Nangong Ling was also taken aback, he didn't know the details, he didn't understand why this Zhu Wenyu was so bold, you must know that people in this martial arts generally rarely deal with the government, not to mention that beating drums at night is already a provocation. However, Nangong Ling didn't dare to interfere at will before, but just watched from the sidelines. Thinking about what was going to happen, this little county government couldn't stop the two of them from being a first-class master.
"Childe...... What does Childe do? Seeing that Zhu Wenyu was so high-flying and arrogant, and he was dressed like a son-in-law, and he was brightly dressed, the official didn't know where Zhu Wenyu came from, so he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he asked cautiously.
"Let your county master come out, and this young master will report the case."
"Report ??!!" The official was surprised, did you beat the drum so dark to report the crime? alarmed the county master, isn't that self-inflicted? The board is light. It's just that he doesn't know the details, maybe he is really a big man, so it's better to be careful first, so he saluted: "Then please wait for the son, and wait for the villain to inform the master." With that, he turned around and closed the door.
"Hehe, how's it going?" Zhu Wenyu smiled and glanced back at Nangong Ling, who just glanced at him suspiciously and didn't speak.
After a while, the middle door opened, and I saw a middle-aged fat man in the official uniform of the county order walking out with a group of officials, the county order looked around, and then walked in front of Zhu Wenyu, saluted slightly, and said loudly: "Just now the official reported that someone reported the case, is it the son?" There was a hint of surprise and inquiry in his eyes.
Zhu Wenyu squinted and didn't look at the county order at all, he didn't say a word, but took out the gold medal and looked at the county order, the county order's face turned pale for a moment, and he immediately knelt on the ground: "I don't know that Lord Qincha has arrived, and the lower officials have missed the distance, and they beg for forgiveness." As a result, the officials behind the county commander immediately fell to their knees. You must know that Zhu Wenyu's gold medal was given by the emperor himself, and holding this gold medal is like the emperor coming in person, and all the officials have to kneel down to greet each other. In fact, there is no gold medal, and the official rank of Zhu Wenyu, the brocade cloth Wei Qianhu, is more than several levels higher than the county order, and the county order does not know that there is a Qin messenger coming in this small place, so he is naturally frightened and pale, trembling and not knowing what is going on.
"You are the county magistrate of this county?"
"Yes, yes, Wu Guangzu, the lowly Qufu County Commander, greets Lord Qincha." Wu Guangzu bowed down again as he spoke, his head banging on the bluestone slab.
"That's it, get up, it's not a big deal, these people are robbing on the road and want to rob our property, you can take it." Zhu Wenyu waved his hand with a big grin.
"Oh, that's a sin that deserves death! If the next official is immediately imprisoned, he will be immediately imprisoned, and he will inevitably be dealt with again and severely. ”
"That's no need, the law can be whatever it should be, and the rest is fine, bother." No matter how proud Zhu Wenyu is, he gets along with Nangong Lei a lot on weekdays, and he knows that he doesn't just do what he wants, and it is only right that he has to act according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
"Yes, yes, yes! I don't know where Lord Qincha is staying, so let the officials clean up the guest house and serve Lord Qincha to rest. ”
"No need, our guest house, don't worry about you, it's none of your business."
"How? Lord Qincha is a noble person, how can he be hasty? And allow the subordinate officials to make arrangements wholeheartedly, and the lord of the Qin Cha please go into the county office to rest for a while, and the lower officials will definitely arrange it properly. ”
"I said that the guest house will be the guest house, you don't have to be wordy!" Zhu Wenyu turned around impatiently and left, and suddenly turned around again: "By the way, you prepare two good horses, and exchange these two of us tomorrow." ”
"Yes, yes, the lower officials should do it and obey the order."
Zhu Wenyu ordered the shop guy to prepare two large buckets of boiling water, planning to wash his face and burn his feet, Nangong Ling arranged everything with Zhu Wenyu, but he just followed behind and did not speak. waited until the guy went out and closed the door with his backhand, and then said the first sentence with a smile: "I didn't expect Brother Zhu to be so majestic......"
Before the words fell, I heard a noise at the door of the store downstairs, and it seemed that someone had an argument.
Zhu Wenyu was curious, opened the door and poked his head out to look, but it was an old man and a young man who were arguing with a person in tolerance clothes, and after listening to a few words, it seemed that the old and young people wanted to stay in the hotel, but the tolerance was not allowed to drive people, but the innkeeper was in a hurry next to him, and he was busy persuading the old and young to go to other inns.
Zhu Wenyu was very surprised, but he knew with a roll of his eyes, it must be that the county commander was too attentive and regarded them as the imperial court Qincha who paid a private visit to Weifu, and he was a rich and noble son who was powerless, and he was afraid that there would be any mistakes, so he asked which inn they lived in, so he sent a government official to secretly protect and prevent other idlers from entering the inn. Zhu Wenyu is really angry and funny.
"Hey, I'm talking about that kid." Zhu Wenyu raised his hand and shouted at the official, he himself was less than sixteen or seventeen years old, and the official was obviously in his twenties, a few years older than Zhu Wenyu, but Zhu Wenyu called others "boy" regardless of the thirty-seven twenty-one. The people downstairs all looked up, and the old and young also seemed to glance at Zhu Wenyu with a little meaning, and quickly staggered their eyes.
