Chapter 6: The Big Shots
Shangguan Peng stood at the door of the Inspection Department in a daze, and the soldiers guarding the door hurriedly came up to catch up with people, "Boy, is this a place for you to play blindly, go aside, don't miss the uncle's official duties." ”
"This military master, the small one is from the Fulai Restaurant, and our big shopkeeper arranged for the small one to send firewood to the company, and asked the military master to make it convenient. Shangguan Peng had a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling person, I laughed like this, I don't believe you can slap me twice.
"I really don't have eyesight, this is the gate of the inspection department, can the cart pulling firewood enter from here, there is a side door over there, from that firewood moved in, and the side door gatekeeper said that it was Fulai Restaurant, and he understood. The soldier waved his finger impatiently to the road on the left, asking Shangguan Peng to pull the car away quickly, as if staying for a while would defile the gate of the inspection department.
Shangguan Peng shook the car and pulled it down to the side door, slammed the door, and a little old man came out of the door, "What are you doing?" ”
"The one who sends firewood to Lord Lian, the errand ordered by the big shopkeeper of Fulai Restaurant, and the small one is the miscellaneous servant of Fulai Restaurant" Shangguan Peng bent down and saluted.
"Oh, why did you come here today, wasn't it sent by Lao Cai before?" The old man looked arrogant, as if he was a little dissatisfied with the substitution.
"The little one is a new handyman, Lao Cai is old, so the small one is here, please give me more guidance, where is the firewood?" Shangguan Peng looked around at the furnishings in the yard.
"What's the matter, is this the place you are looking at, pull the car in, stop against the wall, and move the firewood into the small courtyard in the northwest corner" In the end, the courtyard of the inspection department occupies a huge area, and there are small courtyards in the yard.
Shangguan Peng stopped the car, bolted the horse, and began to carry firewood one by one. There is a huge copper tripod in the small courtyard in the northwest corner, and there are a few handfuls of firewood scattered in the corner of the courtyard, "yes, it's here" Shangguan Peng quickly came out and went in carrying firewood, and when he was busy non-stop, in the main hall of the small courtyard, came out a man about thirty years old, dignified, wearing a plain robe, and the corners were painted with gold threads, and he was a great character at a glance.
The man looked Shangguan Peng up and down, and watched him busy with interest. "Boy, you're not simple, you've practiced on this leg, and you're a little hot. ”
The old man who opened the door hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Lian, this is the new handyman of Fulai Restaurant, who is here to deliver firewood." ”
This is Lord Lian, I saw him wave his hand and let the porter retreat, but his eyes did not leave Shangguan Peng's body.
Shangguan Peng hurriedly stopped, stepped forward and bowed to the end, "My lord, the small one is the new handyman of Fulai Restaurant, called Shangguan Peng, who has practiced the crop style for a few years, which makes the adults laugh." ”
"You are also a martial arts practitioner, how can you be willing to be a restaurant handyman, aren't you afraid of losing your shelf? The kung fu on this leg can be regarded as home, what is it better than the restaurant handyman" Lian looked at Shangguan Peng with a smile, slightly joking.
"The small one is to practice casually, let the adults see the jokes, the miscellaneous servants are cheap, many people can't ask for it, so they can eat with their mouths, the small ones used to be beggars, and now they can be regarded as one step to the sky. With that, Shangguan Peng continued to carry firewood.
"Boy, you are not very old, what kind of kung fu have you practiced, and who did you learn from" This even adult seemed to be careless, but suddenly asked a few words.
"This is the way to distract me" Shangguan Peng thought in his heart, the work in his hands did not stop, "Back to the words of the adult, I used to learn a few tricks with an old beggar, and I don't know what it is called, but now I can use it all-round for miscellaneous work, I can chop wood, sweep the floor, and I can also be busy inside and out. ”
"I can chop wood, so I have learned the knife technique" Even the adult paced slowly, and suddenly came to a sentence.
"What kind of knife technique, I think it's easy to chop wood, and other times it's all for nothing" Shangguan Peng replied with a smile, with a little caution in his tone.
"You did the two stupid thieves on the east side of the official road yesterday, there are traces of light skills on the ground, quite clever, the axe in the head, there is also a bit of ruthlessness, but the experience of fighting is less, it took a little more effort, and the battle and retreat, only the newcomers in the rivers and lakes are this way of playing" Even the adults said this leisurely, Shangguan Peng sighed in his heart, and he was still exposed.
"The adults laughed, how can the little one have the guts, I only heard about this last night, how can it be a small crime, how can I dare to kill someone. Although I was surprised in my heart, I denied it in every possible way, and I couldn't admit it if I was killed, who knows what the consequences will be.
"In the past half a month, although Crouching Tiger Town is full of people, but most of them are veterans of the rivers and lakes, and there are novices who do not match the scene, although my inspection department is not big, but as a patrol inspection of Crouching Tiger Town, I still know, especially although you kid buried the body, but the footprints are still at the scene, looking at the age, but also crossed the official road into the town, your light skills are good, the traces of the scene are very shallow, but it still let me see, and do you know what the deadliest thing is, this adult's hunting dog is a tracking dog cultivated by the Wuyun Division, and yesterday it was chased to the Fulai Restaurant along the smellEven the inspector said these words lightly, as if boiled water did not have a peculiar smell, but Shangguan Peng was like a thunderbolt in his mind.
"My lord saw it, the little one went to the woods on the side of the official road yesterday and wanted to fight the tooth sacrifice, who knew that he met two stupid thieves and saw me, and wanted to kill my mouth, and the little one was the killer, and I didn't expect that the martial arts of these two thieves were not as good as my knife skills for chopping wood, and I asked the adults to spare their lives, I am also legitimate defense, please forgive me this time. "Shangguan Peng can only beg for mercy from the bottom of his heart, yesterday he was still laughing at the blind cat of the Inspection Department touching the dead mouse, and today he let the old cat catch his little mouse, the cycle of retribution.
"Hahaha" Lian Inspector laughed and said, "You kid is a chick, my Dayun Dynasty has always cared about this kind of fighting in the rivers and lakes, the Wuyun Division suppresses the martial arts, and is only responsible for those powerful and powerful famous factions, and the small gangs that disappear every day in the entire dynasty are not eighty but also fifty, not to mention that you are still a wanted criminal, what is there to be afraid of." ”
Shangguan Peng laughed again and again, wiping the sweat on his head, "The little one is cowardly, I vomited in the dark yesterday, and I don't know the rules in the martial arts, so I made adults laugh." ”
"You kid is good, it's a pity to stay in the restaurant, I took the credit for killing the wanted criminal this time, so, from today onwards, you will be waiting next to me, and being a long-term follower will not be an insult to your kid." Later, you can go back to the restaurant to clean up, just move over, and tell the big shopkeeper that I mean. ”
Shangguan Peng thought about it for a while, so he had to bow his head and thank you, "Thank you for your cultivation." ”
