As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere that had eased up again became tense again.

Xie Zhongchu's face also became not very good-looking, he laughed dryly, and said in a low voice: "I see that the old man is old, but I don't know when the lawsuit ban and the dismissal of prisoners in Cangshi City have become General Lu's official business?" ”

"Oh." Lu Xiangze nodded and said, "Do you want to call the county order and scold you in front of you before you are willing to ask your subordinates to be obedient?" Lord Xiemen's preference is quite special. ”

Xie Zhongchu's eyes were fierce, and he shot towards the opposite side fiercely.

Lu Xiangze said indifferently: "If you have the ability, you let people go to me." ”

The young man in the rear hooked his toes and kicked off a wide chair. Lu Xiangze sat with his legs apart and facing up, his posture was leisurely, he put one hand on the table, compared the height, and mocked: "There is such a pile of music that participates in my music every day, it is all nonsense. I was happy to win the battle, and I took pity on the people of Cangshi who were suffering from the bandits, and took the initiative to lead troops to suppress the bandits. Your Majesty still believes in me. ”

Song Huiya was proud to hear this, and he had no fun in the grievances between the two of them, and was about to leave, but stopped because of a few small talks from the adjacent place, his eyelids twitched, and his legs were rooted in place.

"As soon as the war in the border land stopped, it was because the people were sleepy and the horses were lacking, so General Lu rushed to Cangshi City in the dust, shouldn't he have a grudge against Lord Xie Men?"

"At most, I can't look down on it, where can I put it in my eyes. He worked hard for this trip, and I think it's mostly for Song to return to his career. ”

The scholar sat down beside his friend with a tea bowl, moistened his throat, glanced ahead, and was sure that the ears of those people in the rivers and lakes were not long enough to hear what he said, so he solemnly explained: "Few people know about it, but there have long been rumors in the rivers and lakes, and General Lu was also sheltered in the Buliu Mountain when he was young. It is said that he can count it on one hand, no matter whether his relationship with Song Huiya is good or bad, whether he has a friendship with the same family. ”

"I see!" The friend suddenly realized, "No wonder, I said this Lu Xiang...... General Lu became famous as a young man and had outstanding military achievements, how could he not seem to be of great use......"

The scholar glared at him solemnly and made a silent gesture to his lips.

The friend hurriedly lowered his voice and blamed himself: "Gaffe." ”

Song Huiya leaned lightly against the wall.

The friend covered his mouth and asked, "I have never heard that Song Huiya still has friends." I thought she had no one to rely on. There are too many people to kill, and there are only enemies left in the world. ”

"But no, Song Huiya knew that he had a bad reputation, so he took the initiative to defect and break off the relationship with his master. No matter how down-and-out he has been over the years, he has never mentioned his old friends, and he can be called an iron-clad person. ”

"If Song Huiya is really inferior in skills and dies in grievances in the rivers and lakes, then there is nothing to say. After all, she chose the path herself. But if you look at it, it's clear that more is bullying less. Isn't it ridiculous to kill a Song Huiya, to use half of the people in the rivers and lakes, and all of them are holding high the banner of righteousness? Take 10,000 steps back and say, just kill it, what is the way to search for corpses all over the mountains? It's just too deceitful! ”

My friend echoed indignantly: "It's too much of a deception! ”

After he finished speaking, he remembered it again, and said suspiciously: "However, the streets and alleys are not all spreading, so does Song Huiya love to kill innocents indiscriminately?" I might as well ......believe the words of righteousness in the Word."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Xiangze, who was in the middle of the crowd, suddenly answered loudly: "How could my senior sister have killed innocents indiscriminately? ”

The two of them calmly changed their colors, their souls flew out of their bodies, hurriedly sorted out the things on the table, went to carry the teapot on the table together, and held them together, pretending to pour water for each other calmly.

A group of people looked around, but they didn't find who he was answering. was greatly surprised, Lu Xiangze actually dared to recognize Song Huiya, the senior sister, in public.

The young general behind Lu Xiangze said with a thorn in his words: "Who said that?" Could it be that Lord Xie said it? ”

"The boy is confused, be cautious! Do you want to die in the nameless world? Lu Xiangze scolded, meaning something authentic, "Lord Xie Men is deeply expected, upright, and has always been famous for his benevolence and virtue, how can he do such a dirty and innocent thing?" It's just that I'm also very curious, why didn't Master Xie explain a few more sentences for my senior sister. ”

There was a whisper in the hall, which became more and more noisy, Xie Zhongchu raised his hand to signal, and his voice gradually became quieter.

Xie Zhongchu's face was no longer benevolent and peaceful, only the power accumulated by years of wandering the rivers and lakes remained, and he replied: "The Yangjiazhuang tragedy, the examination of injuries, the confessions of witnesses, the last words of the deceased, and the piles and piles all point to Song Huiya. I don't know how else to explain it. ”

Lu Xiangze slapped the table with his palm, and said bluntly: "Pile by pile, you should put out tangible evidence." The so-called last words and oral testimony are all Hu Mingshen's words, but he was killed by my senior sister, and now there is no proof of his death. The so-called wound, just pointing to the sword wound, said that it was killed by my senior sister. It turns out that in the eyes of Lord Xie Men, my senior sister is the only one in the world who is good at using a sword? ”

Xie Zhongchu was unmoved, only a helpless look and said with a wry smile: "General Lu said yes, then the old man has a lotus tongue, and he can't tell you." ”

Lu Xiangze waved his hand coldly: "You don't have to talk to me." You Jianghu people have always disliked dealing with the government, so you closed your eyes and listened and stubbornly held your own opinions, what reason can you come up with to convince me? However, there are some charges that were planted on my senior sister, even if the real culprit is found afterwards, it was secretly suppressed by Hu Mingshen and was not allowed to be passed on. Lord Xie Men and that Hu Mingshen are close friends, and they are even willing to live and die for him, they should know the inside story, right? Why don't you pity my senior sister for her grievances, and go around saying that she is too murderous? ”

The people did not know what was going on, and they inquired about each other.

Xie Zhongchu retorted flatly: "I don't know. I have never heard of this. ”

Lu Xiangze stroked his palms and laughed: "Okay, okay, even if the master of the Xie Sect is spotless, how many crimes have been accused of Song Huiya in the rivers and lakes over the years, and how many of them are casual talk." I want to know for myself. How to say, my senior sister is also a person who has made great contributions to the people of the world. With your reputation as a thank you, if you are willing to come forward and say a good word, you will not even have cats and dogs on the side of the road with trumped-up charges, and you will get rid of my senior sister. ”

Lu Xiangzemo held the blade of the knife, raised his head, and looked up from the bottom up, his eyes were fierce and murderous.

"What does that mean?" I don't see and hear things, but I guess whether they exist or not, but what? ’。 The undisguised disgust and sarcasm on his face, "An immaculate gentleman like Lord Xie Men, shouldn't he think, 'but'?" ”

Xie Zhongchu was old, and said sadly: "I want to add to the crime......"

Lu Xiangze got up suddenly, cut off his words, faced the heroes of the rivers and lakes, swept around lightly, and said: "I also have the same sentence: I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death!" But if someone does dig up my sister's body—"

The white light flicked like a flying wave, and the blade suddenly came out of its sheath, only to hear a loud bang, and the square wooden table beside Lu Xiangze had been flattened and cut off a corner.

Lu Xiangze turned around with his sword, leaving everyone with a back, and said proudly and mercilessly: "Then my senior sister's name in the rivers and lakes will have a successor." ”

The heroes present all felt humiliated and indignant, their faces were pale, and an evil fire in their chests swelled, and they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Lu Xiangze walked out of the door, only to feel that a sight was always behind him. After taking two steps, he turned back sharply and slaughtered towards the narrow lane on the edge of the inn.

A laurel tree stretched over the earthen wall, and the wind blew slowly, leaving only a few green fallen leaves on the ground.

Song Huiya climbed the wall with one hand, turned over and landed silently, straightened the hat on his head, and muttered thoughtfully: "Senior brother? Scold. ”

She has mixed feelings and doubts in her heart, and she really doesn't want to be involved in those unclear past events in such a confused way. I could only bow my head and walk forward alone.

Out of the narrow alley, a piece of paper was pasted on the wooden door of a pharmacy on the street, on which was written "Recruiter", saying that he wanted to ask all the good people to help him go up the mountain to collect medicine.

Song Huiya glanced at it twice, and raised his hand to remove it.

The sun came out at noon, and the sky gradually warmed up.

On the main street in the north of Cangshi City, there is a hundred-year-old ancient locust tree, the shade of the tree blocking the daylight on the street, walking from here, there is a kind of extraordinarily cool cold.

The little beggar crouched at the junction of light and dark, staring straight at a stall selling steamed buns opposite.

After a while, a little boy walked out of the door with a copper coin, took a bun from the young stall owner, and sat down on the stone pier next to the locust tree.

The little beggar licked his lips and rushed forward to give him a fierce push.

The child fell to the ground, and because of the heavy clothes worn in winter, he rolled on the ground in half a circle, still stubbornly raising his hands to protect the food in his hands.

He sniffled, and was about to get up on his own, when the little beggar swooped forward again, pressed heavily on him, snatched what was in his hand and ran wildly.

Before he could take two steps, as soon as the little boy's cry sounded, the little beggar felt the back of his neck tighten, and then his feet hung in the air, and the whole person flew out upside down.

The other party used skill, and this time it seemed that he fell extremely hard, but it was mostly for fright. The little beggar got up dizzily and found that only his hands and feet were worn out a little skin.

One hand pressed her head and forcibly turned her around.

Song Huiya said coldly: "Return him." ”

The little beggar's eyes were gloomy, his heart was full of unwillingness, he gasped heavily, crumpled the steamed buns with his dusty hands, and then walked up to the little boy and stuffed them into his arms.

The little boy looked at the black palm print, threw the thing directly to the ground, and cried at the top of his throat: "I don't want it!" ”

Hearing this, the nearby residents ran out of the door, and the little beggar glanced at Song Huiya with a defiant face, who took out a piece of money from his waist, handed it over, and said, "Go buy another one." Don't cry. ”

The woman apologized and sent the child away, and the little beggar was still angry, and said bitterly: "Hero, you are so kind-hearted, buy me a steamed bun too." I haven't eaten in days! ”

"Didn't you grab one?" Song Huiya said, "If you don't want to eat, you're hungry." ”

"Eat." The little beggar smiled wryly, "I'm not a god from heaven, I can live without eating." ”

She bent down to pick up the discarded steamed bun, patted it casually, stuffed it directly into her mouth, took a few bites, and spit out the sand again. stared at Song Huiya viciously throughout the whole process, as if he was chewing on her flesh and blood.

Song Huiya knew her resentment, but she felt that it was unfair, so she only looked at her expressionlessly.

The little beggar swallowed, his eyebrows furrowed, and he said with a smile: "Hero, we inferior people don't mind anything dirty. If you have something you don't look like, just send it to me, I don't mind! ”

If it weren't for the anger in her eyes that was too deep, no one would have felt that there was malicious intent behind her expression.

Song Huiya squinted at her: "Not convinced? ”

The little beggar forcibly pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled sadly: "Woman, he has a father and a mother, if you don't eat a steamed bun, you can ask someone to buy it for him again." If I don't rob him of his things, I won't survive. Are you so merciful as to bear to watch me starve to death on the streets? ”

Song Huiya smiled: "It sounds like there is some truth. ”

Little beggar: "Say yes!" ”

"But what does that have to do with me?" Song Huiya smiled slightly, bent down, the light brown pupils reflected the unnatural distorted expression of the little beggar, and said in a smooth voice, "We all do things according to our own rules." He is unlucky to meet you, and you are unlucky to meet me. Is there anything wrong with that? ”

The little beggar's expression could not be maintained any longer, the anger in his eyes was almost condensed into a sharp knife, and his hands were clenched into fists, as if he was going to cut her with a thousand knives with his eyes.

Song Huiya pinched her chin, and said in a gentle voice: "If I find out that you bully the weak again, I will teach you ten times more." Don't tell me your crooked truths, I don't eat that. Got it? If you don't have the ability, just put up with it. ”

The little beggar felt a hot pain in her palm, she raised her palm, looked at the scratches on it, blew twice, patted out the sand embedded in the wound, and finally calmed down.

This girl is full of bad water, but her brain is very alert, and she is even more proficient in lying, without a trace. Realizing that his situation did not have the qualifications to lose his temper, he showed his unique skill of changing his face, and said with a flattering and concerned attitude: "Woman, you may have misunderstood me, I just went to rob the child's things, in fact, it is more for you!" I saw that you were so sick last night, and that you were hungry several times, so I thought I would beg for something to fill your stomach. ”

Song Huiya raised his hand and stroked her head, and praised her with relief: "You kid, you are really kind-hearted." ”

The little beggar smiled sweetly: "It's all what I should do!" ”

She clenched her fists, hit her in the air twice with "Huhu", and boasted: "When you heal your injuries, you can go to chivalry again!" ”

Song Huiya said curiously: "Do you still know how to be chivalrous? ”

The little beggar smiled and said, "Everyone is talking about it like this, it's a good thing anyway, right?" ”

After she finished speaking, she glanced at the stall on the street, Song Huiya just couldn't see it, threw the medicine she was carrying in her right hand into the little beggar's arms, and said, "Come with me." ”
