Chapter 56: Zhao Chuan is captured

This kick made Zhao Chuan sober up.

Worst! Someone made a game.

From the surprised expressions on their faces and the sadistic smiles on the faces of the people who arrested him in the front hall, Zhao Chuan knew that he was going to suffer tonight.

Low-key and low-key, grandpa repeatedly explained himself before his death, he had to endure and live, why didn't he remember it.

Zhao Chuan was remorseful and realized the real danger.

A guy came over and pointed to Zhao Chuan on the ground, and said to the tenant that this person had killed someone, and look, the murder weapon was still by his side.

Beside the deceased on the ground, a short knife was thrown.

The innkeeper and Xiao Er both ran over and were very surprised to see this scene.

"Hey, shopkeeper, there is a dead person in your store, and you don't go to report to the official, people's lives are at stake." It was said.

"Yes, yes, I have to report to the official!" The innkeeper said again and again.

The personable brocade-clothed boy appeared at the door of the inn again, followed by a few people with lanterns, "But we have to interrogate him before the official family comes." ”

The boy in brocade said that he was staying in a nearby inn, and when he heard the shout, he rushed over to try the murderer, because the woman who died was a princess who lived among the people. This time, they finally found someone, but the murderer was killed, and they had to interrogate whether they had any accomplices first, and they had to arrest them in time, so as not to take the opportunity to escape.

Speaking of the same party, Zhao Chuan remembered the seven girls upstairs, knowing that the master was in trouble, why didn't he come to save himself, and did he sleep so dead? Zhao Chuan complained bitterly.

"Back to the little prince, the murderer's comrades have run away!" Someone replied.

"Rubbish! How did so many people let people run? Someone behind the brocade boy rushed to scold.

"Don't be impatient, Steward Zhu, don't be so fierce. How many people are in the same party, are their martial arts very powerful? Ahh......h

"Back to the little prince, there is only one murderer in the same party, and his martial arts are unknown, as soon as we broke in, the man jumped out of the window and ran away."

"Rubbish! Aren't the windows open in the yard? There were so many people in the yard who were ambushed and didn't catch them? Steward Zhu was still very anxious.

"The man jumped into the yard and disappeared, and no matter how much he looked for it, he couldn't find it......"

"A bunch of rice buckets! It must have run outside, hurry up and go to the search! Where can this big town run? Steward Zhu waved his hand and asked people to find it quickly.

The housekeeper shouted five and six commands, and when he was done blindly, the brocade-clothed boy smiled and took out the small paper fan again, shook it a few times, and walked straight to Zhao Chuan.

"Little brother, I was lucky to serve you to eat and drink yesterday, and let you stay here with the good princess, I didn't expect you to do such a thing. Even if your fellow party runs away, it's useless, because we have poisoned what you ate last night, and this poison is a special virus for our royal secret, and all your cultivation has been abolished, haha. The brocade boy said.

No wonder the seven girls didn't come to save themselves, it turned out that they were plotted by others. Poor Seven Girls' hundreds of years of Taoism have been poisoned by this group of hateful guys.

When Zhao Chuan thought of this, he felt very sorry for the seven girls.

But fortunately, they didn't know that the Seven Girl was a vixen, so when she broke through the window and jumped into the yard, she disappeared, probably turning back into her prototype and hiding in a corner of the yard.

"Come on, come on, light a few more oil lamps, and let the little prince see what this murderer is." Steward Zhu said.

Immediately someone went to find a candle and lit it, and the antechamber suddenly became much brighter.

"Residents, shopkeepers, hall runners, neighbors, you have all looked carefully, this person is the murderer, and you have to give a witness when the official comes." Steward Zhu arched his hand in all directions, and then asked someone to tie up Zhao Chuan.

Someone pulled a stool for the boy in brocade, and the boy in brocade sat opposite Zhao Chuan, and asked with a smile, "Little brother, why did you kill the princess?" ”

Zhao Chuan rolled his eyelids, ignored him, and secretly scolded in his heart for being unlucky, he lived in the store, how could he let the family be a scapegoat and get involved in the royal civil strife.

Seeing that Zhao Chuan didn't squeak, the boy in brocade said, "I'll tell you for you, you saw the princess beautiful, and you wanted to misbehave this night, but the princess didn't obey, struggling to run downstairs and shouting, you saw that the matter was revealed, and in the hurry to chase after it, there was a murderous intention in your heart, so you killed the princess in this front hall." Right? ”

Zhao Chuan sighed, closed his eyes, and said nothing.

"What's the matter, this kid doesn't squeak, it's a tacit acquiescence! Aha......" the brocade-clothed boy laughed, "Okay, even if you are smart, you don't have to go to the yamen to suffer from the flesh and skin." ”

Seeing that the matter was clear, Steward Zhu waved his hand and asked the innkeeper and Xiao Er to report to the official.

After a while, the innkeeper came with the townspeople in the town.

Xiangzheng followed by an entourage, and after listening to Steward Zhu's narration, and seeing the guests nodding yes, he lowered his head and wanted to ask Zhao Chuan about it, but Zhao Chuan ignored him and was silent.

Xiangzheng frowned and thought about it, then arched his hand and said, "Since this matter is so clear, then the princess and this murderer who were killed, for the time being, I will try to take care of them first, and then I will rush to Nanfeng County, which is under the jurisdiction of Shangfeng Division, and report to the county office." ”

Because it is more than 50 miles away from the county yamen, it is indeed inconvenient to go to the county yamen at this time.

Steward Zhu looked at the brocade boy and said okay, then wait until dawn.

Then Xiang Zheng, the boy in brocade and the guests all walked away separately, leaving only a few warriors still guarding Zhao Chuan in the front hall.

A few martial artists asked Xiao Er to serve a few plates of side dishes, asked for two pots of wine, and drank slowly until dawn.

This happened when I was young, and it was still early in the morning.

After drinking for a while, a few people got bored, and someone suggested that they should have some fun.

Some people say yes.

Others say that what kind of fun are you looking for, it's just this broken ground, so cold and poor, there is no spring building, no casino, and no one even sings a small drama.

Several warriors smacked their lips when they heard this, looked up at the ceiling, turned their heads to look around, and finally fell on a few large water tanks in the courtyard.

In the moonlight, several large water tanks opened the mouths of black holes, like a bunch of monsters.

"What are these big tanks for? I've never seen this thing in our northern inn? "Someone said.

There were several large water tanks in the courtyard of the inn, and a few guys from the north began to argue about what this big tank was for, and this tank was held by two people.

Some say that this is a lotus pot, used to prepare a lotus in the yard to adjust the elegant scene, some people objected, saying that they have seen it during the day, and there is a round hole blocked by a wooden plug at the bottom, which should be used for draining water, and the lotus pot does not use this design.

Some said that it was used to hold wine, and some people immediately denied it, what kind of wine should be filled with so many jars? It's not a sake brewery.

Some said that it was used to drink horses or some kind of animal for the guests staying in the hotel, and some people shook their heads, saying that it was so tall, what kind of animal could poke its head into it? Camels? This is not outside Mobeisai.

A few people couldn't guess, so they asked Zhao Chuan.

Zhao Chuan rolled his eyelids and didn't bother to pay attention to them.

Actually, this is a public bath for guests staying at the hotel, and male guests can jump in and take a bath. But Zhao Chuan just didn't tell them. I am now a prisoner, how can I have the heart to talk nonsense with them, thinking that it is the right thing to escape and get out of trouble.

Zhao Chuan didn't want to say it, and these guys were unhappy.

With the strength of the wine, someone proposed, "Well, throw this kid into the big water tank in the yard, how long can you hold the gamble?" ”

"Good idea."

A couple of guys thought this was good and fun.

Someone found incense sticks at the counter and broke them into different lengths to calculate the time.

Someone tied Zhao Chuan's feet tightly, and then explained the rules of the gambling game, and dragged Zhao Chuan over.

"Boy, if you can't hold it back, I'll struggle a few times inside, and I'll bring you out!"

"It's fun to play with us, and I'll reward you with wine when you come out! Ha ha. ”

A few guys laughed, and rushed down to put Zhao Chuan into a big water tank.

Zhao Chuanhui's grandfather taught him the underwater breathing exercises, and he couldn't suffocate in a short time. But this happened to him, and although it was not life-threatening, it was very insulting.

These guys made a feud with Zhao Chuan tonight.

Zhao Chuan didn't move in the water, and greeted the ancestors of these guys hundreds of times.

When someone saw that Zhao Chuan didn't move, they thought he was dead, and when they brought it up, they saw that he was not dead, so they lost the money.

Zhao Chuan was repeatedly tossed by them for a long time, and several martial artists won and lost.

In the end, someone lost in a hurry and got angry, and threw Zhao Chuan into the water tank again and stopped caring about him: "Lao Tzu bet on him for a stick of incense!" Bet on this sword! ”

The man slammed the thick ring-backed knife in his hand on the table.

"Zhen San, don't go crazy. Are you trying to kill this kid? Besides, how much is your broken knife worth? It's not the Xuanlong Blade of the three great swords of the Central Plains! The other grabbed a handful of silver, laughed and joked, "If you take off your pants and put them on, I'll bet with you again!" ”

The reckless man named Zhen San really wanted to untie his belt when he heard this, and several other people hurriedly came up to stop when they saw this, just joking, why take it seriously.

Zhen San has a temperament, but he has to be more serious, he doesn't listen to the persuasion of others, and he has to take off his pants and gamble.

A reckless man is reckless, a few people don't know if they really can't pull him, or if they are pretending to persuade him, in short, after pulling and pulling for a long time, this reckless man's pants fell off.

It's just a matter of the pants falling off, after all, the waistband of the pants is fat, and it is easy to slip off if the rope is loosened.

But then I don't know who intentionally or unintentionally pulled Zhen San's bottoms again, these bottoms have no rope, and they fall off when they are pulled.

The people who were fighting looked down and laughed.

"I said Zhen San, when I usually see you powerful, I know that you are a fierce general under the housekeeper, and even the guy you hold in your hand is so imposing, why is the guy under you so gentle and angry?"

This was also a joke, but Zhen San felt greatly ridiculed, shouted, broke free and pulled, lifted his pants and kicked over a few people, ran to the table and pulled out a wide-backed big ring knife, and rushed towards several people.

When these few saw it, they were immediately frightened, and they felt that the joke was too big, and while apologizing and explaining, they dodged in circles around the big water tank in the yard.

That Zhen San's anger couldn't be vented, how could he give up, he was still chasing them crazy.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the organic spirit hurriedly took out the silver and shouted: "Zhen San, Zhen San!" I'm betting too! At the same time, he glanced at several other people.

"Yes, yes! Bet and bet! ”

"I'll be with you, too!"

"Bet and bet!" ……

Several people hurriedly took out the silver and shouted.

This move caught Zhen San off guard, vented his momentum, and greatly reduced his madness for a while.

The culprit was even more clever, and he hurriedly said at first sight: "Zhen San, Zhen San!" A stick of incense arrived, we lost, we admit defeat! ”

Zhen San stopped when he heard this, turned his head to look at the incense just now, and saw that the incense had burned out.

It's just that the time has come for the incense to burn out, and what really determines the outcome of the gamble is to see if Zhao Chuan in the water tank is still alive.

Someone was busy grabbing Zhao Chuan's leg and dragging him out, where was he still a little angry?

Although Zhao Chuan's kung fu has been practiced to the ninth level of the water layer, he can breathe underwater with his skin like a frog, but now that his cultivation has been abolished, he can only hold his breath like the underwater breathing exercises taught by his grandfather, but the time to hold his breath is also limited.
