Verse 127: Summer rain
ββ"Okay, now that you've relented, there's no need to suffer any more. Henry walked over and squatted in front of the assassin leader: "Saying everything that needs to be said will give you a good time, anyway, this is the situation at the moment." Even if they come to pick you up, they will suspect that you have revealed the information, and if you go back, you will be tortured and finally killed. β
ββ"Why don't you take it easy and get on the road? The sage's tone was steady without any fluctuations, and the Assassin leader looked at him deeply and sighed:
ββ"Give me a cup of tea. β
ββββββ
ββAt 6 o'clock in the morning, a little purple cloud suddenly began to rain heavily, because the heavy rain was coming, the sky was even more gloomy, and the sunshine came more slowly than usual.
ββThe violent knocking sound echoed on the closed door of the Ziyun Mansion, which was covered by the sound of rain and was smashed for several minutes before someone ran over and opened the red lacquered wooden door with copper bubble nails on the other side.
ββ"What are you doing early in the morning!" The doorman, who got up in the morning and was drenched, roared angrily, while the shopkeeper, who was also wet, gasped with a pale face and said what he saw.
ββ"I'm going to report to your lord!" the rain poured down, and only 20 minutes later, the shopkeeper at the inn informed the government, and the mighty team of twenty or thirty people braved the rain to run to the hotel where the group was staying.
ββ"Whew-whew-" The panting guards were brutally pushed away, and when the chief of Ziyun City, whose official uniform was a little messy, walked out, he was confronted by the corpses of assassins lined up on the ground, the clerks and guests with frightened faces, and the samurai who were enjoying spring tea.
ββ"What's going on, who is the person who is talking about it, come out to meet this official. The obese chief has two bare mustaches, his face is as fair as that of the children of the Zhangzhou martial arts, and even his voice is shrill like a woman.
ββ"Eunuchs. Old Qiao next to him whispered, and Ming Hai took a sip of spring tea, put down the cup and stood up.
ββ"My lord, it's the official who is reporting. The sergeant, dressed in a samurai costume and armed with a sword, said to the other party: "The warriors under the command of the Qingtian family in Qingzhi Town, the lower part of the domain, were attacked by these thieves in the early hours of the morning, so they fought back in self-defense. Immediately after that, he woke up the hotel staff and asked him to inform the government on his behalf. β
ββ"Please also take care of it. Narumi explained steadily: "The thieves attacked more than ten of us, but because of their own lack of skills, they were all killed by our counterattack. β
ββ"Well, that's right. The Purple Cloud Chief rubbed his beard and lowered his head to look at the assassins, his face changing slightly the moment he noticed their actions.
ββ"When did you say these people attacked?"
ββ"My lord, in the early morning, when the day is just about to dawn, about 5 o'clock and close to 6 o'clock. Narumi came out of breath without panting and heartbeat.
ββ"W-noβ" Purple Cloud's chief said subconsciously.
ββ"What's wrong, don't you know the origin of these little thieves?" the sergeant leaned closer and continued to ask, "These thieves thought they wanted to steal our property, but the three-legged cat kung fu technique was easily killed by us before they arrived at home, which is really not worth mentioning. Could it be that he is still a little famous locally?"
ββ"Well, no, I don't know, but I've heard that thieves like to act at midnight, so it's a bit counterintuitive to hear that the attack before dawn is a bit unreasonable. Ziyun's chief beckoned to one of his attendants to wipe his sweat as he spoke.
ββAlthough it rained early in the morning in the hot summer, it was also full of moisture and even more stuffy, which was obviously very uncomfortable for the obese chief.
ββ"I see, adults are really clever and have a thorough grasp of this kind of thing. Narumi flattered the other party, and then continued: "But these thieves are not at a high level, and they don't know about that, so they chose the wrong time." It is because of this that we were able to escape, oops, what a blessing. β
ββ"Poof, ahem, ahem. Yajiro, who swallowed just one sip of tea, almost didn't squirt, and then coughed because he was choking.
ββ"Anyway, I also ask you to record these corpses on your behalf, and we fought back purely in self-defense, and even saved a lady who was unfortunately implicated. Although he is just a thief, I am really sorry to add such a bloody disaster to this century-old store. β
ββ"Please also order someone to dispose of the bodies of these thieves as soon as possible. Narumi recounted politely, and the chief of Ziyun glanced back and forth at the customers and clerks in the store who were all looking at this side, and finally sighed.
ββ"Don't you have a living mouth, such wicked people may have accomplices, if there is a living mouth, please hand it over to this official for interrogation. β
ββ"I'm really sorry, but due to the suddenness of the attack, it was difficult for us to spare our hands when we counterattacked, and we were all killed on the spot. However, there are still many traces of the fight with the thieves on the third floor, so if you want to investigate, you can move your personal belongings out of the reserved space. β
ββ"Well, that's it, I'll give you a moment. The chief of Ziyun nodded, then glanced at the scene in the store again, and turned back and beckoned: "Carry the corpses of these guys away." β
ββ"Thank you, sir. The manager hurriedly thanked the chief for breathing a sigh of relief, and the other guests finally relaxed and began to prepare breakfast. The military attachΓ©s began to rush in and began to carry a corpse to leave, and the chief was about to say something, but Narumi had already turned to talk to the store manager.
ββ"No, please take it. The samurai leader wanted to compensate the other party for some gifts, but the store manager insisted that the responsibility for the attack in his hotel was his own.
ββ"Oh, I'm not arrogant or impatient, I dealt with the thief and reported it to the official in time, and not only that, but I also want to compensate for the loss of the contemptible people. Samurai-sama is reallyβ"
