A long peach river, flowing into the county seat from Guancheng, just bypasses the Taoyao Fang located in the center, and this Taoyao Fang, is the most prosperous commercial market in Guangyang City, as the name suggests, there are many peach trees planted in the market, but this season is not peach red and gorgeous, and it is also making a epidemic, the commercial market is much quieter than usual, especially the wine shops and restaurants, most of them are empty, there are only three or two young men sitting around the smoke cage in the empty shop, some are looking at the street in a daze, and some are talking in a low voice about the screening of tenants. There are also those who have a wide heart and sleep off with their arms on their knees.

The largest of them, a three-storey liquor shop named Burner's Place, is named after the shop, and it used to be very busy, but today it is empty—who cares about feasting and having fun in this time? It's just that even if the door is closed, the shop rent has to be paid according to the salary, and the shopkeeper is not happy, preferring to open the door, in order to let those shop guys not get paid in vain.

Among them, there is a guy named Baolu, who seems to be particularly restless today, seeing Wu Si, the young man from the opposite door Buzhuang, shrinking his neck and sleeves, and trotting over to the south of the road, Baolu suddenly came to his senses, and when he got up, he almost didn't take Mazha over, and the two guys who were talking about it were frightened, and he also saw Wu Si, and followed him forward.

There was only one guy who was napping, lazily opened his eyes, seemed to look at the street in a daze, the bored shopkeeper behind him said "hey", and seemed to be dissatisfied with the guys leaving their posts without permission, only he understood what the big guys were paying attention to, and did not stop it, even he wanted to hear what Wu Si had to say, but he didn't want to get together with the guys because of his self-respecting identity, and after thinking for a while, he went to the door and asked the shopkeeper of Buzhuang, this thought had already flown elsewhere, and naturally he didn't pay attention to the guy who was sitting with his back to him because he didn't go to join in the fun because of napping, Staring at Bao Lu's gaze was very dissatisfied-what a hurry, it was too attention-grabbing!

Bao Lu had already stopped Wu Si, pulled him to a slightly sheltered place, and couldn't wait to inquire: "Those guards took you to the county office, are you really interrogated?" Is there a torture rod? Have you seen the tenant? Did he identify his comrades? ”

At this time, the two guys who were one step behind had also run over, and after listening to Bao Lu's detailed question, they had nothing to ask, and they all stared at Wu Si with blank eyes.

"I said brothers, it's a cold day, let's not eat here, if you want to ask for news, why do you have to put up a table of wine and food, your wine shop has no business today, I don't have to open a store for you?"

was slapped on the shoulder, and the big guy in the wine shop was obviously more familiar with Wu Si than the other two, and after punching out, he immediately quipped: "Don't worry about your own catties, just like the rich people to spend all day drinking in our scorching place?" It's not so easy to smoke the abundance, so let's talk about it quickly, what happened to the situation, otherwise there is no wine and meat, feed you three pairs of full fists. ”

Wu Si said with a smile: "Xiaobao opened his mouth with a series of questions, how can I remember so much, a few brothers asked slowly, I can only understand it, right?" ”

The big man then withdrew his fist, forked it to his waist, and asked first, "Have you been beaten?" ”

This is the most important thing he cares about, because maybe tomorrow it will be his turn to be interrogated, although looking at Wu Si's appearance, it doesn't look like he has suffered from flesh and skin, but he can rest assured if he asks a little clearly.

"Where will I be beaten, and it is not Hu Lai's old immortal presiding judge, Princess Jin is personally present to supervise, and the Bi Nu envoy and Miao Niangzi are all soft-spoken, and they are beaten and scolded."

The big man breathed a sigh of relief: "Ask something, do you want to find out if you are a tenant?" ”

"No, I asked me to be a local, and then asked where the household registration was, so that Li Zheng was based on the hands, bookkeeping and inspection, and called the head of the household is my father and the neighbors to certify, one by one, and let me come back, Bi Nu also comforted me a few words, let me serve a bowl of hot soup for me to drink, said that it was hard to go on this trip on a cold day, warm up and go back."

"Have you ever seen that enemy? The last time I heard that he was escorted into the city, I hurried to the direction of the city gate, and prepared two stinky chicken eggs, I wanted to smash this dog to kill a fishy head, I didn't want to be a step too late, I was so big, I couldn't even squeeze into the pile, I stood on tiptoe and slammed it indiscriminately, I didn't know who I hit, and I was scolding with my throat, I was empty-hearted, and ran back with my head down. "The big man is very sorry.

"I haven't seen it at a glance, and the enemy heard that it was locked up in the inner hall, but only those from other counties went in to let the enemy testify." Wu Si also sighed regretfully: "If I see that thousand knives and killing, I will not spit on him." ”

Seeing that the topic was about to turn to cursing the enemy, Bao Lu hurriedly said: "If it wasn't for the people of Guangyang, would it be tortured with a rod?" ”

This is not abrupt, because Baolu is not a person from Guangyang, many businessmen here are registered in other counties, and they are not limited to Guangyang residents who are hired workers, many of them are recruited from Guangyang, and there are some displaced people who can not make a living in their hometowns.

"Don't worry, if you are innocent, you will not be punished, but if you are accused of being a tenant." Wu Si sneered: "Not to mention being punished, it is not an exaggeration to divide the corpses of five horses, Guangyang has killed so many people among these enemies, where is their ten lives enough to compensate." ”

Bao Lu was taken aback: "How did the fourth brother know that there were ten tenants?" ”

"I heard from the envoy of Bi, saying that the enemy had completely confessed, he was from Dongying, employed by the Turks, what is called Zhi Nengbian, and he is still a leader of ten, which means that he is the leader, and there are ten subordinates under him."

Bao Lu smiled and said, "Just boast, how can the palace envoy tell you so much secret." ”

"What kind of secret is this, the Bi maiden envoy said, these ten people will be screened sooner or later, and let me spread this matter to see if there are any people who are anxious and worried, it must be a tenant."

As he spoke, he grabbed another guy who didn't say a word: "I think you're suspicious, you're not from Guangyang, so curious and came to inquire, your mouth seemed to be sewn with a needle and thread, and you listened with your ears pricked up, you said, are you a tenant from Dongying." ”

The big man hurriedly separated the two: "Four bastards, what are you messing about, Da Niu is a stammer, he is always ridiculed when he speaks, I am the only one who is righteous to him, and never laughs at him, he is usually willing to say a few more words to me, how can he be a tenant, his wife died in this plague, if he is a tenant, he can also let his wife drink the water that has been poisoned by the epidemic, you don't have a brain, right?" ”

Wu Si then remembered that there was still such a thing, and smiled very uncomfortably: "Aren't I also cautious, I wish I could find out the tenant immediately, and it can be regarded as avenging my father and fellow villagers." Stretching out his arm and hugging the big bull: "Good brother, I am also righteous, I will not laugh at you, you can also talk to me in the future, I tell you, stammering more to talk, talking and talking, the tongue will be smooth, and there will be no more stammering." ”

Bao Lu stroked his chest: "Listening to what the fourth brother said, I am also relieved, as long as I don't suffer the torture rod, I am not afraid of anything, I am afraid that I will not be able to withstand the punishment, and if I am beaten into a trick, then I will not die unjustly." ”

The big man glanced at Baolu: "How can Princess Jin bend you into a trick, when everyone is Hu Lai's traitorous official?" As if he had never feared being tortured with a rod.

Bao Lu laughed a few times, he didn't look nervous at all, but he just returned to the store, and he didn't sit for long, so he pulled the guy who was napping first to go to the thatched house, and when the two of them arrived at a secluded place, Bao Lu lowered his voice and said urgently: "The head of the ten people should have surrendered, and the princess of Jin not only knows the name of Dongying Zhi Neng, but also knows our accurate number, and even excludes people from Guangyang, focusing on the household registration of other counties." After choosing the important part of Wu Si's words just now, he said Dongying: "You have to make an idea early and discuss the other eight, we can't sit still." ”

"Don't panic." Another person said: "If the head of the ten people really confesses, doesn't he know our identity stronghold, so he needs to gather everyone to identify them one by one?" The officers and soldiers of the palace are afraid that they will rush in and arrest us, this may be a plan for Princess Jin to lure the snake out of the hole, wait and see! ”

However, the next day, although it was not the turn of the hired workers at the scorching place to be tried, just after noon, Wu Si swept in like a gust of wind, pulled the big man and jumped to his feet: "Have you heard of it, you have already identified a tenant!" ”

When the shopkeeper, who had no business and was depressed, heard this, he didn't care about the difference in identity, not only did he not scold Wu Si who came to visit the door, but he himself took a step forward and asked loudly: "Did you really identify it?" ”

Wu Silian bowed his head: "Isn't my cousin a helper in Ruifeng Liquor Brewing?" It's a guy in their shop, named Xianzao, who came from Yangzhou and recommended him to the wine shop, I used to laugh at him for talking femininely, he said that it was called Wu Nong's soft language, who would have thought that he was a tenant of Dongying? My cousin said that as soon as he was identified in the inner hall, he immediately jumped over the wall in a hurry, and was about to kill the enemy who identified him. He is the first one, and there are nine others, all of whom have to be identified to be happy! ”
