Chapter 61: The Long Street is Quiet
Xia Jingyun said this, the businessman naturally didn't believe it.
But this disbelief is not so firm, he is accustomed to observing words and feelings, and he looks at Xia Jingyun's confidence, and he is somewhat suspicious.
But the Xia family's friends who came in a hurry and looked anxious were completely unconvinced.
Even he couldn't help but open his mouth to reprimand, "Gao Yang, you are not young, you have also experienced such a tragic thing, how can you still be so naΓ―ve!" β
"At the beginning, your Xia family still had fields and houses, as well as slaves, and you could be regarded as a scholarly family in the county, with a name and a surname, but what was the result? Lu Erhu uses a little trick to let your whole family end up with a copy of the family! Do you have the slightest chance of fighting back? β
"In this county, there are their people up and down, inside and out, you don't have any chance of winning, have you forgotten the despair and helplessness of the day so quickly? Even if you make friends in other places, people can't reach us! Our Qian County Zun is the confidant of Lord Taishou, how can you ...... How dare you come back! β
"I don't know how you've spent these two months, but I know that if you can save a life, you should have fun. Don't think about revenge, let alone come back. Although our ancestors have lived here for generations, it is not without the fact that there have been refuge in the history books. β
This close friend of the Xia family secretly slipped out of his sleeve and stuffed it into Xia Mingxiong's hand without a trace, "That's all I have, take it and leave overnight!" Don't wait for Lu Erhu and his dogs to react, when the time comes, it's too late! β
"I have my own clan, I don't dare to stay for a long time, two brothers, forgive me!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran, and quickly disappeared into the night.
Xia Mingxiong took out this silver ticket, glanced at the face value, and looked at Xia Jingyun, "One hundred taels." β
Xia Jingyun nodded, "Take it, and repay it tomorrow, this uncle is a good person." β
"Isn't it!" Suddenly stretched out his head on the side, and his face was full of emotion, "I can help when I am in trouble, and dare to come to remind me at such a risk, why don't you say I can't meet such a good friend!" β
Xia Jingyun looked at the familiar eldest brother and smiled, "For a while, do you want to drink some together?" β
The man hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, I'm not strong enough to drink, it's not too early, I'll go back and rest first." β
It's okay to not know the identity of the Xia family, but now that he knows, he doesn't dare to get involved in this kind of right and wrong.
Xia Jingyun didn't stay, and chatted with his father and uncle about the uncle, and soon the wine and food came up, and the relatives upstairs also came down.
The Xia family gathered around one table, and the accompanying sergeants surrounded two tables.
But there were still two tables full of wine and food that no one was sitting, and everyone was about to wonder, when they saw Xia Yunfei, who was dressed in civilian clothes, leading a few people who were also wearing civilian clothes to walk in.
Xia Zhang's battle was pleasantly surprised, "Dingyuan! What are you doing here? β
Xia Yunfei walked over and said with a smile: "When you return home, the general specially ordered me to bring a team to escort you." β
Xia Zhangshi asked casually: "Since it's an escort, why didn't you come with us?" β
Xia Lishi, who was more open-minded, silently pulled his sister-in-law's clothes, and Xia Zhang quickly reacted and said loudly: "Ah, it's inconvenient to say yes, right?" Then don't say it, don't say it. β
Xia Jingyun was helpless and added, "It's a little trivial, just keep up, come on, come on, everyone is hungry, let's eat." β
In the midst of the excitement, the two brothers Xia Jingyun and Xia Yunfei quietly slipped upstairs.
"What's going on, big brother, what's wrong?"
This matter was said in advance when Xia Yunfei joined the army yesterday, and early this morning, Xia Yunfei got Jin Jiancheng's permission to bring a team of people, pretending to be merchants, and followed Xia Jingyun's team far away, just in case, and at the same time, he also wanted to see the situation of the other party.
Xia Yunfei shook his head when he heard this, "There is no problem at all, and there are no suspicious people to follow." β
Xia Jingyun frowned, "It shouldn't be, if Zheng Tianyu's target is really me, after I leave Jiang'an County, it will be the best time to make a move, how could he miss it!" β
In order to give Zheng Tianyu enough time to prepare, Xia Jingyun could even wait for one more day, just to lure the snake out of the hole.
Xia Yunfei said: "Is it possible that Zheng Tianyu is not trying to deal with you?" β
Xia Jingyun had already told Xia Yunfei about the inside story, and shook his head when he heard the words, "Don't deal with me, why did he go to Niu Er to find out about my situation in private, why did he deliberately target me at the Wen Meeting, and why did he send someone to kill Niu Er immediately after I got Wen Kui." It doesn't make sense! β
Xia Yunfei heard what Erlang said also made sense, and thought about it, "Then you have to pay more attention, and you can't put you in danger just to lure the snake out of the hole." β
Xia Jingyun nodded, "Well, that's the only way, no matter what, let's finish the big thing first, I see that my father and they can't wait." β
Xia Yunfei also smiled when he heard this, now their two brothers, one is the righteous brother of Concubine De, and the other is a centurion of the Wudang Army, which is no longer what it used to be, so naturally they should help their parents to fulfill their thoughts.
That night, nothing happened.
The next day, everyone in the Xia family packed up their things, walked out of the inn, and came to the street.
Xia Yunfei led his team as usual and scattered among the crowd.
Last night the merchant stood by the door, watching the procession from afar, rubbing his chin and looking puzzled.
The innkeeper came over and said with a smile: "Guest officer, you said yesterday that you wanted to check out, but do you need the old man's help?" β
The merchant man pouted, "Shopkeeper, last night they said to let me wait one more day, do you think you can believe it?" β
The shopkeeper smiled, "If you want to ask whether this family is kind or not, whether the character is good, the old man naturally wants to nod, but if you want to ask them if they can bring down Second Master Lu, hehe, the old man can only shake his head." β
Why? They were used to be ..... by Lu Er It is true that the master was defeated, but since they dare to come back, how can they not rely on it? β
The shopkeeper shook his head, "Since the arrival of our Qian Xianzun, it's not that no one has ever messed with this domineering Second Master Lu, and those people don't have no backers and no background, and then, they will either cut their flesh to make amends, or they will be beaten to death just like this Xia family." This is something that has been proven by countless facts over the years. β
He sighed, "As long as this Qian Xianzun is still there, Second Master Lu won't be able to fall!" If the Xia family was able to escape, they were already ancestors who had accumulated virtue, but if they dared to come back, they would be asking for their own death, which is a pity. β
The merchant man twisted his eyebrows, rubbed a pair of fat hands, remembered Xia Jingyun's calm expression last night, and remembered the dozen or so murderous "guards", his eyes were horizontal, "Damn, Lao Tzu gambles!" I won't return it today! β
The shopkeeper didn't say much when he saw this, and it was hard to persuade the damned ghost with good words, he charged an extra day's room fee, why not!
"Shhh Isn't this the lady of the Xia family! β
"Hey, yes, isn't this the family of Master Xia outside the city, why did you come back?"
"What's wrong with them?"
"Didn't you fall out with Second Master Lu, Second Master Lu got him in in a fit of anger! raided the house and sent it out, saying that it was going to the labor camp in Jiang'an County! β
"Tsk, then how can they still come out!"
After all, the Xia family has been operating in Jiang'an County for many years, not to mention anything else, at least everyone is familiar with each other, and after walking for a while, many people recognized their group, and then couldn't help whispering.
They were all surprised that they were able to get out of the labor camp.
"What do you think they're doing? also brought guards, so many people, don't you want to find trouble with Second Master Lu? β
"How dare you think about it! Second Master Lu will stop here, and if he doesn't clean them up, even if he burns high incense, he still dares to go to Er Master Lu for trouble! β
"Yes, Second Master Lu can get them in once, and he can get them in a second time."
"They are so ostentatious in the market, it is clear that they are provoking Second Master Lu, there is a good show to watch today!"
As the old shopkeeper said, Second Master Lu's prestige has been forged one by one over the years, and almost everyone feels from the bottom of their hearts that they just need to see if Second Master Lu will let go of the Xia family, and they don't have to think about whether the Xia family can beat Second Master Lu.
"Stop for this officer!"
The Xia family and his party were walking forward, and a team of officials rushed out quickly, blocking the way.
The leader is a strong man, who is five big and three thick, and his complexion is even worse.
After only leaving Wanfu County for more than a month, Xia Mingxiong naturally knew the person in front of him, and arched his hand on the horse, "County Lieutenant Zhang, what are you doing?" β
"Damn, in front of Lao Tzu, you dare not get off the horse!"
The strong man drew his knife directly from the sergeant beside him, and slashed at the horse's head with a single sword.
"Presumptuous!" A sergeant of the Wudang army was naturally not afraid, and immediately drew his sword and swung the knife away.
The strong man laughed fiercely, "Okay, I've seen it!" Gather the crowd and take arms! This gang of thieves intends to rebel, take it for me! β
"I'll see who dares to move!"
Shi Chang shouted, and ten people gathered in a circle to protect everyone in the Xia family.
The strong man's smile became more and more proud, "Against the official errand, the crime is added to the first, the crossbowman, prepare!" β
Shi Chang's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "You are the county lieutenant of Wanfu County?" β
"It's your grandfather!"
"Wudang army performs military affairs, you'd better get out of the way, there are some people you can't afford to mess with!"
The strong man's face changed slightly, and he immediately looked at the people of the Xia family who were personally sent to prison by him that day, "Who the hell are you bluffing!" When I don't know who's who! Not yet in the army, phew! Take it for me! β
"Look for death!"
"Stop!"
Two shouts rang out at the same time.
A sound came from the chief who was waiting for him.
A sound came from a man who was running from not far away.
The man put his hands behind his back, so that the running posture was quite strange.
As soon as the voice came out, the strong county lieutenant stopped and turned his head, and a smile instantly appeared on his face, "Second master, these dogs still dare to come back, don't worry, I'll help you ....."
Lu Erhu's footsteps did not stop, and he directly kicked the strong man county lieutenant over, and then the whole person directly bent his knees and smashed heavily on the bluestone ground.
"Master Xia, the sinner was originally bound in the mansion, and when he heard that someone was doing evil here, he hurried over, and hoped that Mr. Xia would spare the sinner's life."
On the huge street, there was silence for a moment.
