Chapter 214: Helping Hands
"Where are you going?"
Wu Zhi's voice was cold, with unquestionable power.
The poor scholar was startled at that time, and just as he was about to fall to the ground, he was suddenly grabbed by someone and thrown aside with a hemp rope.
And Wu Song patted the dust on his hands, with an expression of wanting to take credit.
"Brother, how am I doing?"
"Just what I want."
Wu Zhi nodded in agreement, and when he looked at the poor scholar next to him, his face suddenly became gloomy.
"I advise you to stop struggling, and leave some strength to pay attention to and explain to the county order, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and you should also pay the price for your abandonment of your wife."
"That's my own family business, what does it have to do with you?"
"Oh, I'm nosy, I like to be upset, don't I?"
Wu Zhi still spoke amazingly, he could scare people until he was half angry, and the poor scholar turned red on the spot, unable to speak.
It didn't take long for the official government to finally come with a sound of neat and powerful footsteps.
The man in the lead was in a hurry, and the person arrived before he could make a sound.
"Where is General Wu now?"
"Here."
Wu Zhi agreed, then stood up and hugged his fists, he pointed to the guy next to him who had been tied up by Wuhua and said: "He first implicated my two brothers for no reason just now, and then insulted the emperor, the county commander, you can watch it." ”
In the end, Wu Zhi handed over the initiative.
This is undoubtedly the smartest option.
As soon as the county magistrate heard this, he was dizzy and dizzy on the spot, and he only felt a sense of suffocation coming to his face, and he finally stayed up in this position until he was about to return to his hometown.
Why does it have to be such a mess?
However, his reaction speed was also very fast, and he had already thought of punishment in his mind in a short moment.
"Bring the people back to the government directly, wait for the fate, and the people in the family will also be arrested!"
"Yes!" It is
The catchers replied in unison.
Soon, with their cooperation, the poor scholar was taken away directly and prepared to be imprisoned.
The others left first, and the prefectural order stayed.
He directly picked the closest position to sit down, rubbing his hands and asking, "General Wu, I don't know what your purpose is when you pass through here?" Could it be that you are going to do something big? ”
"Take care of yourself, is it possible that I still need to report to you where I go?"
Wu Zhi did not answer the rhetorical question.
When the county magistrate heard this, he could only obediently retreat to the side, and then he was waved away.
After he left, the crowd gradually dispersed.
Wu Zhi's ears finally regained their quietness, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, "I can finally continue to sleep peacefully." ”
"Yes, brother."
Wu Song replied, and even stood up and stretched.
The two brothers chatted and planned to return to visit and continue to rest, and the shopkeeper wanted to stop them, but finally gave up.
After all, these two identities are extraordinary, and they are by no means something they can afford to provoke.
If it really gets angry, it will definitely be a devastating blow.
"Slow down, two."
In this way, Wu Zhi and Wu Song finally easily solved this insignificant episode, and after returning to their respective rooms, they were just about to lie down and sleep when they heard a crackling sound outside.
This movement is very similar to firecrackers.
But this is ancient times, so something else should have happened!
After Wu Zhi and Wu Song glanced at each other, they quietly got up and opened the door.
I saw that the outside of the door was full of people, including old people, women and children.
"What's going on?"
Wu Song asked.
"I don't know." Someone shook their heads, "This room doesn't look like anything strange." ”
Wu Song frowned and thought, "It can't be some kind of demons and monsters, right?" ”
"Nonsense!"
A woman scolded: "Where did the ghost come from, it is clearly the guy named Zhang Wenyuan who is making trouble, I just saw him smashing the things in the house, saying that it was to make gunpowder!" What do you say is going on! ”
Wu Zhi was also a little puzzled when he heard this, but he also knew in his heart that Zhang Wenyuan's target must be gunpowder, otherwise why would he smash so many things?
"I'll take a look."
Wu Zhi turned around and walked towards the place where Wu Song smashed things.
The two walked to the scene and saw a debris stained with blood, apparently smashed by someone.
Looking further inside, I saw a tall man with dark skin, dressed in coarse linen clothes, and holding a shovel in his hand.
"Who are you, why did you smash my things!"
Zhang Wenyuan asked loudly.
But Wu Zhi walked over and replied calmly, "The inn was almost smashed, we were just settling the dispute, we didn't smash the thing, it was done by that mad dog-like guy just now." ”
After hearing these words, Zhang Wenyuan didn't dare to make a mistake.
After all, the strength of the other party is there, and he is an ordinary farmer at best, and if he provokes them, the consequences will be unimaginable.
What's more, this matter is not taken care of in the first place.
But thinking about it, Zhang Wenyuan felt unwilling.
"Why, why did you say that guy smashed it, I don't think you look like a good thing, I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Wu Zhi sneered, "Do you want to do it?" ”
Zhang Wenyuan gritted his teeth and said, "Since you don't want to go, then don't blame me for being rude!" ”
As he spoke, he picked up his hoe and rushed towards Wu Song.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, an old voice sounded.
Zhang Wenyuan stopped his movements and looked at the person shouting.
This person was dressed in official uniform, his face was gloomy, and he looked quite majestic.
Zhang Wenyuan didn't dare to make a mistake, and greeted respectfully: "See my lord, I don't know what to order?" ”
"I'm Wang Zhongyi, the governor of the town guarding the side, which village are you two from and why did you come here!"
The Governor asked.
Hearing this, Wu Zhi and Wu Song glanced at each other, and then replied, "My lord, the two of us are from Yanggu County and are going to Bianjing City. ”
"Yanggu County?"
Wang Zhongyi repeated: "Why does this name sound familiar......
At this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and his eyes widened suddenly, "It's you!" ”
"Adults know me?"
Wu Zhi asked.
"It's more than understanding."
Wang Zhongyi said excitedly, "A few days ago, I sent someone to Yanggu County to visit the two of you, but I never found any trace, and then I heard that someone told me that the two of you will pass through here soon, so I waited patiently!" ”
"What? Investigate us? Who's at who's instigation? ”
Wu Zhi didn't dare to be sloppy, and asked sharply.
Hearing this, Wang Shouyi wanted to speak for a long time before he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth.
"Actually, I don't know the identity of that person, but the other party gave me a large sum of money to investigate your identity, family background and other aspects."
"Give you money?"
