Chapter 256: Tragedy
Peiyang City is still a little far away from Crouching Tiger City, it took Shangguan Peng a lot of effort along the way, and Shangguan Peng was a little upside down on the horse, and he was about to arrive at Peiyang City.
It's a mess in this place. Because Shangguan Peng hadn't entered the door yet, he saw a large-scale weapon fight, and there was a Peishui to the south of Peiyang City. As the saying goes, the mountain manages the people, and the water manages the wealth. As long as there is a large body of water, there are gangs that make a fortune by water.
The two waves of gangs fighting in front of him must be the gangs that are eating in Peishui, they look like that, and there are special uniforms, Shangguan Peng stopped his horse and looked at it from the side.
After a while, a very arrogant young man came, and pointed a knife at Shangguan Peng, "What do you see, I haven't seen anyone killed, it's okay if there's something, get out of here if there's something, it's okay Lao Tzu will send you something." ”
In the eyes of that young man, Shangguan Peng seemed to be sitting on a horse and shook his body, and he felt a breeze blowing beside him, and when he looked at Shangguan Peng again, his knife was already in Shangguan Peng's hand.
Shangguan Peng carried the knife around the young man's neck and patted this guy in the face with the knife, "Has anyone told you that if you can't speak, don't speak, if you want to speak, learn how to speak, you are easy to die if you talk like this." ”
This kid was about to kneel down in two trembling forces, and Shangguan Peng used a knife to "Don't kneel, don't kneel, I don't have a junior like you, what's going on with you." ”
"Back to the hero, we are fighting for the area where the boat is on the pei water. At this moment, arrogance has turned into groveling, "I am from the Peishui Boat Gang, and I fought with us, which was called the Water Dragon Gang at that time, and they all begged for a life in this Peishui, didn't they all want to dominate one side." ”
Shangguan Peng nodded, and said to him, "Okay, I'm fine, you go back and cut people, I see that your helper seems to have looked there several times, and the leader is your helper, if you don't go back to help, it is estimated that your helper will have to cut you." ”
This kid turned his head and saw that his helper seemed to be looking at him again, you didn't care about anything else snatched the knife from Shangguan Peng's hand, and ran over, not to mention that his skills were quite sharp, and he cut two in three or five strokes.
Shangguan Peng didn't have time to watch the rookies pecking each other here, so he left the crime scene with his horse, and came to the city gate after a while. This shows how chaotic the city is, and it is enough for a group of soldiers to stand at the gate of the city, and there are about a hundred and so soldiers at the gate of this city, who have paid the entry tax and come to the city on horseback.
The old rule teahouse walked up, sat on the horse and looked at both sides, this teahouse is good, it looks quite big, and there is a pretense outside the door, and the book "Qingquan Pavilion" is written.
Shangguan Peng came to the inside of this teahouse quite elegantly and quietly, it looks like it should be high-grade, there are no messy people, Dr. Tea came to greet him diligently, and Shangguan Peng ordered tea and refreshments.
Shangguan Peng was indeed a little hungry, eating refreshments and drinking tea, while listening to the discussions of the people around him, talking about everything, Shangguan Peng got not a lot of information.
Shangguan Peng, who had been wandering around Peiyang City for a day, lived in a first-class inn in Peiyang City, and after so many days of travel, he was really tired and needed to rest well.
Sleeping until midnight, Shangguan Peng felt that there were people walking on his roof, although it was a very light footstep, but listening to Shangguan Peng's ears was no different from thunder.
Shangguan Peng frowned, don't be the fifth watchman to assassinate him, after listening to it for a while, it didn't seem to be coming at him, a sound of footsteps walked on the roof, and then disappeared, it seemed to be a passing thief, Shangguan Peng didn't take it to heart and continued to sleep.
The next day, Shangguan Peng got up early to practice on the roof, and when he finished his exercises, he saw a large mansion not far from the inn full of people coming and going, as if it was a city guard.
When Shangguan Peng came to the lobby of the inn to prepare for breakfast, he saw people whispering in the lobby. After listening to it a little, the information is a bit fragmented, and I haven't heard of it.
Xiao Er set a table full of breakfast for Shangguan Peng, and just as he was about to leave, he was dragged by Shangguan Peng, "What's new today? Why is everyone whispering? I just saw that there are people from the city guards going in and out of the house over there, what the hell is going on." ”
Xiao Er looked around and whispered to Shangguan Peng, "It's a big thing, it's a big thing, it's better for you to inquire less, guest officer." ”
Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Peng had an extra ingot of silver in his hand, Xiao Er looked at Shangguan Peng's eyes, Shangguan Peng asked, "Can you say it now, there is a big matter, can't this thing stand it?"
Xiao Er quickly put the silver into his arms and looked around, "Guest officer, the big mansion you just talked about." It is Zheng Yin Zheng Daxia's home, he is old, he opened a martial arts gym in our Peiyang City, don't think that he is not good for the elderly, he can at least be regarded as a top twenty master in our Peiyang City, and the chicken and dog that their family was killed last night will not be left. ”
After speaking, Xiao Er took the tray and walked away, and when he left, he gave Shangguan Peng a look of how careful you are.
Shangguan Peng was naturally associated with the footsteps of last night, and the footsteps of last night lasted for a while, and it seems that there should be a lot of people who did it. And the general light skills are relatively high, forget it, don't think about it, Shangguan Peng has no plans to be Lu Xiaofeng.
Just as Shangguan Peng was about to feast, a lot of people came in the inn, and it seemed that the officials of the city lord's mansion should be the city lord's mansion, and they began to interrogate everyone in the inn one by one.
A middle-aged man who looked relatively old sat in front of Shangguan Peng, "Dare to ask Your Excellency, what is your noble name for coming to Peiyang City, did you see or hear any movement last night?"
Since people are more polite, Shangguan Peng didn't hide anything, and bowed his hand to the little official, "In Xiaguan Peng, there is nothing to do in Peiyang City, wandering the rivers and lakes, where to go, I just arrived yesterday morning." When I went to bed last night, I heard a sound of footsteps on the roof, and there should be quite a few people, and the light work is quite good. ”
The middle-aged man who was recording raised his head to look at Shangguan Peng, feeling that Shangguan Peng didn't seem to be lying, and continued to ask, "After hearing the footsteps, did you see anything?"
Shangguan Peng took a bite of breakfast, "The footsteps are quite fast, and the kung fu will pass after a while, not for me, so I will continue to sleep." ”
The middle-aged man truthfully recorded Shangguan Peng's words, thought about it and asked, "I don't know if Your Excellency still remembers when the footsteps happened." ”
Shangguan Peng shrugged his shoulders, "This is even more unclear, I slept in a daze, and I never left the bed the whole time, if it weren't for the footsteps, I would have slept until dawn and didn't hear the sound of the watch outside." ”
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation, if you think of anything unusual in the future, you can come to the City Lord's Mansion to report, the City Lord's Mansion has a heavy thank you. The middle-aged man bowed to Shangguan Peng and left.
Shangguan Peng began to savor his breakfast at this time, and it tasted good.
