Volume 1 Introspection on Life After Trials Chapter 5 Zhang Yan was arrested
The chubby action made Qingchen have a very bad premonition, and he became more and more curious, who dared to break ground on the head of our "Qixia Twin Heroes"?
After sorting out his emotions first, Fat Man said angrily: "This afternoon, I was eating chicken at home, and the chicken was just roasted. It's very fragrant, very fragrant, it's a seasoning that I developed myself, it's definitely worth tasting, and I'll bring it to the boss next time. β
"Get to the point. Qingchen knows the virtue of being fat, and when it comes to eating, he can't finish it.
"Hey, hey", receiving the signal, Fat Man said with a smile, "But before I could take a bite, it's a pity! You know, I'm a warm-hearted chivalrous man like you, how can I see death and not save me when I hear this miserable voice?"
"Ahem, cough, cough ......", Qingchen coughed deliberately, reminding him to get to the point.
But Fat Man ignored it directly, and said to himself, "If you don't hear it, forget it, but as long as you hear it, even if you don't eat chicken, I have to save it, otherwise I won't live up to our reputation of 'Qixia Twin Heroes'!" β
Hearing this, Qingchen couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said in his heart, "This fat man is good for everything, and it is indeed old-fashioned, but it is too qualitative, too greedy and playful, people are not in shape, and they are not serious in speaking, too verbose, unable to distinguish the key points, and their attention is even faster, which makes people dizzy."
Before Qingchen finished slandering, Fat Man continued: "I only saw three big men beating around Zhang Tiehu, I flew over, unfolded my dazzling twenty-four Tan legs, and solved the problem by dividing it by two, but Zhang Tiehu grabbed me and said that his daughter Zhang Yan was snatched away by Fan Jian." β
"What?" Qingchen was furious when he heard this, his teeth clenched, and his eyes were about to split.
Zhang and Zhang Yan were snatched away by Fan Jian. Fat Man had never seen Qingchen so angry, and he was so frightened that he stammered.
"Go on!" Qingchen said angrily.
"I didn't say a word, I started a thousand illusions to chase up, I saw the sedan chair from a distance, was about to rob people, I was kicked unconscious, in the daze I saw a white-bearded old man, very similar to Fan Jian's second uncle Fan Tiehammer, when I woke up it was already evening, I didn't care to go back to eat chicken and immediately ran to find you. "This time Fat Man didn't talk nonsense, and finished the situation at a very fast speed.
"Why didn't you say such a big thing until now?" Qingchen tried his best to calm his anger, but the warm past in his mind and Zhang Yan couldn't help but be clear and magnified, and he couldn't suppress it, and his eyes immediately turned red, "Why did Fan Jian arrest her?"
Looking at Qingchen's terrifying appearance, Fat Man couldn't help but think of the fate of the scoundrels who provoked the boss like this before, and suddenly felt the back of his neck cold, quickly moved his buttocks, shrunk his neck, and said in a trembling voice: "I was frightened and confused by you when I came, and I just remembered it." The situation was chaotic at that time, and I didn't have time to ask Zhang Tiehu the reason before I was knocked unconscious. β
Looking at the fat shrinking appearance, Qingchen's heart softened.
Although Fat Man is confused, he is a good brother since he was a child, and he is better than a brother if he is not a brother.
Besides, Fat Man originally had a cowardly personality, and he could stand up this time, which shows that he really listened to his words, if he hadn't been a little upset recently, Fat Man would not have been knocked unconscious.
Thinking of this, Qingchen collected his mood and asked with concern: "Where did the hammer hurt you? Does it still hurt? Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you!"
Hearing this, Fat Man suddenly came to his senses, immediately came up, and said with his teeth and claws: "Thank you, boss." You don't know, that hammer is hateful, his martial arts are so high, he actually attacked me. β
"Sneak attack?" Qingchen said.
"Hmm. Otherwise, even if I can't beat it, with the Thousand Illusions Trace Steps taught by the boss, it is always not a problem to escape. I think he was afraid of my Thousand Illusions Track, so he sneaked up. It is hateful to bully the small with the big......"
"Hmm. Qingchen nodded, the Thousand Illusions Trace Step is Qingchen's family heirloom and the supreme weapon for escape, "Go." β
Qingchen knew that if he was allowed to continue talking, he could talk about it without repeating a sentence, so he hurriedly interrupted, took the lead in running towards the town, and soon came to the front of Zhang Tiehu's shop.
I saw that the gate had been broken, the iron-burning stove had been overturned, and the hammers and hooks were scattered all over the place.
The mottled blood stains flowed along the gravel road from the gate to the roadside canal, which had lost its former redness, but still glittered in the afterglow of the setting sun, and with the cold wind howling in late autumn, it seemed to tell the previous tragedy.
Smelling the faint smell of blood in the air, Qingchen was silent, his fists clenched.
Because of his relationship with Zhang Yan, Qingchen understands that Zhang Tiehu is an honest person, more helpful, and a well-known benevolent person in the town, and has only one daughter with Aunt Zhang, who is fifteen years old this year, and is Zhang Yan.
Originally, relying on the old iron-making skills, Zhang Tiehu's family lived quite well in the town, and even helped the poor and beggars during the New Year's holidays.
But such an ordinary family will actually attract the covetousness of Fan Jian, the heir of the martial arts family!
Now it's almost to the point of ruining the family!
This is completely inconsistent with the heroic belief that Qingchen has always adhered toββββ good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded.
So whenever he encounters this situation, Qingchen will be inexplicably filled with righteous indignation, and at the same time, he will be arrogant: "I vow to sweep away the injustice in the world!"
It was in such silence that the two walked into Zhang Tiehu's house.
There was no light in the dim room, and I could only vaguely see Aunt Zhang sitting on the edge of the bed whimpering, and Zhang Tiehu squatting in the corner in a daze.
Neither of them noticed the arrival of Qingchen and Chubman.
Still fat with a cough, he stepped forward and asked, "Uncle Zhang, what's going on today?"
After asking several times in a row, I suddenly heard Aunt Zhang shouting: "Chen'er, no, Qing Daxia, help! Please save my family Yan'er, he was captured by the Fan family, please save her! I kowtow to you." β
Before he could finish speaking, he heard the sound of a thump throughout the room.
Qingchen hurriedly went to help, but found that Aunt Zhang's forehead had been knocked out of blood, and he couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly helped Aunt Zhang to sit on the chair, "Uncle Zhang's business is my business, Aunt Zhang doesn't have to worry, I Qingchen will definitely take care of it to the end!"
Speaking of this, Qingchen paused for a moment, "What happened?" β
At this time, Zhang Tiehu, who was squatting in the corner, suddenly knelt down to Qingchen and the two of them, and cried as he walked: "Please Qing Daxia look at the past love and save my family's life." β
After speaking, he kowtowed lifelessly, louder and faster than Aunt Zhang's kowtow.
In the eyes of Qingchen and the others, where is this kowtow, it is clearly suicide!
Because on the way over, Zhang Tiehu had already vomited blood because of his serious injuries, and now he grabbed the ground with his head like pounding garlic, completely ignoring the injuries on his head and the severity of his kowtow, as if he hated himself for having no strength but not being able to protect his daughter.
If Qingchen hadn't stopped it in time, maybe Zhang Tiehu would have fainted.
In such a situation, Qingchen and the others had to support Zhang Tiehu, comforting the second elder on the one hand, and inputting some internal force to calm down the second elder first, and then investigate.
Half an hour later, the second elder regained his composure and explained the truth with difficulty.
It turned out that this afternoon, Zhang Tiehu was striking iron in the shop.
Fan Jian, the son of the Fan family, one of the three major martial arts families in the town, accompanied by his second uncle Fan Tiezhu, suddenly arrived, and first persuaded him verbally, saying that Li Bing, the son of Prince Bao of Qutai City, had taken a fancy to Zhang Yan and asked the two to come to the matchmaker.
As long as Zhang Yan is married tomorrow, Prince Bao will immediately inform the town's official mansion, and from then on, Zhang Tiehu can turn a crow into a phoenix and become the head of Qixia Town.
Fan Jian thought that he would be able to deceive Zhang Tiehu into handing him over, but he didn't want to be sternly rejected by Zhang Tiehu.
How did they know that Zhang Tiehu was just an ordinary blacksmith who had never been out of Qixia Town, and he only thought about safety, not to mention the Qutai City Lord's Mansion, which was the official mansion of Qixia Town, and he had never dealt with each other in the past few decades, so he didn't know anything about officialdom at all, and he didn't have the mind to climb high.
Besides, Zhang Tiehu loves his daughter so much, how could he easily hand over his daughter to two people who don't know each other without seeing his son-in-law?
And Fan Jian, as the eldest son of a martial arts family, how could he have been rejected by such an identious person? Not to mention that he was still kind to persuade him. So he became angry, and after obtaining Fan Tiezhu's consent, he immediately robbed it.
This led to the bloodshed that followed.
Qingchen was a little confused after hearing this, not that he couldn't tell right from wrong, but this Qutai City had never heard of it, so he looked at Fat Man, but found that Fat Man's face was almost green.
Xu Shi felt the gaze, and after exhaling a breath of turbidity, he said slowly: "My family runs a tea house, and the business spreads throughout the Jin Kingdom, that is, the country where we are located. There were nineteen large cities and eighty-one small cities in the Jin Kingdom. Each large city has a number of small towns, and each small city has a number of counties, and each county has a number of towns. β
Speaking of this, Fat Man took a breath, looked around at everyone, and then said, "Qutai City is the first of the eighteen great cities, second only to the Imperial City, and the city lord is the emperor's younger brother, Prince Bao, Li Changsheng. He is brutal, greedy and lustful, and has a son, Li Bing, who is even more 'blue'. β
Not only is he proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, and sampling, but he also openly declares to the world that anyone who can impress him with any of these five skills can gain his appreciation. Thinking that the Fan family fell in love with Zhang Yan's beauty, he wanted to impress Li Bing's heart, and since then, he has been on the rise. β
When Qingchen heard this, he looked at Zhang Tiehu and Aunt Zhang, and found that the faces of the two of them were already frightened, their bodies were trembling like chaff, and tears were gushing out like droplets of water with broken threads, and the dripping silence of the room should be loud.
Fat Man was very helpless, and he regretted his recklessness today, if the Fan family sued in front of Prince Bao, not to mention that his family was just an ordinary wealthy merchant family, even if it was the top martial arts family in the Jin Kingdom, it would have to be wiped out in an instant.
