"Check the license plate at the entrance, and line up at the back!"

Cicadas chirp on the trees on the official road, and passing merchants shouted to bypass the gate of the pedestrian pass and walk to the side gate dedicated to the merchant convoy.

The soldiers shouted, the tea sheds outside the gates, the stalls shouted, and the beasts screamed and mingled.

Someone took the copper plate in his hand and smiled from a stall to collect the fee, stuffed it into the belt, hummed a little tune, turned to a small road, passed by the tea shed, the figure who hung his head and pretended to sleep raised his face slightly, under the hat, opened his eyes, glanced at the back of the walker, took out two copper coins and put them on the table, grabbed the long-handled broken knife, hugged his chest, and slowly followed.

It is Zuo Zhengyang, who was called one of the "lonely people" in the mouth of the Taoist before.

This time I went north, and because I heard about what the Prayer Fire Sect had done in Lanruo Temple, after placing the five scholars, he didn't go with Lu Liangsheng, and after buying a new weapon, he went to Linghe Prefecture alone.

Half a month ago, he rushed to the boundary pass of Helingzhou, while waiting for Lu Liangsheng and others to come over to meet, and at the same time inquired about the direction of Ziling Mountain in his own way.

The name of the mountain is rarely known in this area, and after many inquiries, it is known that it is in the southeast of Junyang City.

In terms of food, Zuo Zhengyang expected that the people on the mountain would not go down the mountain to procure in person, but should have henchmen under the mountain, or outsiders to buy and escort them up the mountain.

Junyang City, which is far away from Ziling Mountain, must be a place to buy ingredients, guarding the vegetable market in the city in the early morning for two consecutive days, visiting farmhouses to listen to buyers, and excluding some nearby sects, government offices, and gangs, it is to lock up two people, one of whom is the person he followed.

But at the moment, I can't be sure that the other party, or even the person above, is the batch that sent ingredients to the Prayer Fire Sect.

Under the hidden gaze of the hat, Zuo Zhengyang slowly hung behind, staring at the back of the blackmail stall, and went to a nearby fence yard before stopping, the man turned his head to look, pushed open the courtyard of the farmhouse, a woman was cleaning under the eaves, saw him come in, threw the broom, and rushed to the house in a panic to close the door.

The man reached out and grabbed the crack of the door with one hand, and then kicked it open, and pushed the woman off the shoulder, and closed the door with his backhand, and in a moment, he heard the woman's screaming and crying from the house.

Behind the tree outside the courtyard, Zuo Zhengyang's eyes narrowed, the other party was like this, and it was not once or twice that he thought about it.

He jumped and fell into the courtyard, kicked the door open, and the man lay shirtless on top of the torn woman.

"Who are you?!"

Without waiting for the man to shout, his scalp tightened, and he stumbled away from the woman, and with a bang, he flew out of the door, and fell the ground and rolled a few times, overpowering the fence of the vegetable garden.

Zuo Zhengyang turned his head, didn't look at the trembling woman on the bed, threw a piece of broken silver, turned around and closed the door, and walked to the courtyard step by step with a long knife.

"You dare to kill me?!"

"Do you know who I am? I tell you, you have to dare to go ...... knife"

The man sat on the ground and retreated while rubbing the ground, covering his head and roaring, and the next moment, the blade slashed, and he was so frightened that he closed his eyes directly, and shouted again and again: "I was wrong, I was wrong!"

"This hero, I didn't do anything. ”

"Blackmailing vendors and forcibly kidnapping women, still haven't you done anything?" Zuo Zhengyang deflected the blade, and the knife face was attached to the man's face, and the corners of his mouth were grinning, revealing Bai Sensen's teeth: "Is it a big thing to kill people and set fires?"

Feeling the coldness coming from the knife face, the man's whole body trembled, and he quickly took out the money bag in his belt and threw it to the other side.

"Extortion vendors..... Yes, it's strong* woman, the little one really didn't do it...... I haven't had time to do it yet. ”

At this point, his words fell.

"A little excited..... I haven't taken my pants off yet..... That's it....."

Zuo Zhengyang glanced at the crotch of this person's pants, it was wet, his eyes showed disgust, he flipped the knife to his back, grabbed his shirt and lifted it up, jumped up, took the person to the wilderness and forest, flicked his arm, and the person flew "Ah!" flew away, hit a tree with his waist, fell down heavily, and covered his waist and groaned.

"May I ask you, who is above you, do you go to Ziling Mountain once a month?"

The man holding his back stopped moaning suddenly, and the other party was wearing a hat and holding a weapon, thinking that he was seeking revenge from the rivers and lakes.

"Hero, then you are looking for the wrong person, the little one is the little person...... As for the Ziling Mountain you mentioned, the small one went to it once, and he didn't know what to do, so he pulled grain and vegetables and meat, and came back after letting him go to the mountains and forests. ”

Zuo Zhengyang stuck the knife on the ground, stretched out his hand to the man and groped, when he stretched it back, he had an extra booklet, shook it open and looked at it, it was full of messy graphics, this person should be illiterate, afraid of forgetting things, and drew some pictures that only he could understand to write down.

"What does the circle represent?" Zuo Zhengyang raised his gaze.

The latter swallowed his saliva, and glanced at Sen Han's knife, "Flatbread, that is, food." ”

"What are the two points on top of the two downward-facing mountains (w)?"

The man didn't dare to look at Zuo Zhengyang's gaze, the other party was like an extremely experienced head catcher, which made him feel uncomfortable, and he spoke for a long time before he spoke, squeezing out two words: "Woman." ”

"Hmph, that's smart. ”

After Zuo Zhengyang picked out some difficult pictures and asked, with his many years of experience in head-catching and investigation, it is not difficult to combine such representative pictures into content.

At first, I thought it was just a matter of this gang, or some trivial life, but the more I looked down, the fire in my heart went straight up, and the graphics on it seemed to be turned into handwriting, composed of content, pictures, and vividly placed in front of him.

"Anyway, your family is poor, so you might as well sell your daughter. ”

"Don't sell! Get out!"

The man with the broom, wielding a wooden stick, drove away a few idle men, looked back angrily, and hid behind the door, revealing his frightened daughter.

One night not long after, a fire broke out in the courtyard, the man fell in the courtyard covered in blood, and the ** year-old girl struggled in the hands of the strongman, looking at her father who was silent on the ground, crying and shedding tears.

In a moment, he was stuffed into a carriage and disappeared into the firelight.

.......

The picture is a little unclear here.

“..... What did you do to the girl?"

Zuo Zhengyang's hand squeezing the booklet shook slightly, in fact, it was not difficult to imagine the ending later, but after all, he couldn't help but ask, hoping to get a different answer.

Looking at each other, their voices became muffled.

"Say!"

Mutter~

The man swallowed hard, "It's sent up the mountain....... There is a batch every month, this hero, I really don't know the rest, you ......"

"Uh-"

The booklet was thrown into the sky, Zuo Zhengyang pulled out the long knife on the ground, the knife light silently leaked through the sun, and he slashed angrily, and the blood splattered instantly.

Burst!

The head was cut off and the neck was broken, and it fell to the ground and rolled out.

The pamphlet paper fluttered and fell one after another to the headless corpse, soaked in blood.

In the sunshine, Zuo Zhengyang wiped the blood-stained blade on the corpse's clothes, turned to leave, returned to the tea shed outside the pass with an expressionless face, sat down again, leaned the knife against the corner of the table, and ordered a cup of tea.

Outside the tea shed, the voices of people were noisy, and when I closed my eyes, I just sat like that, but I felt a little peaceful.

Jingle ~~~

The crisp copper bell rang from far and near, stopping outside the tea shed, Zuo Zhengyang, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, felt that someone was patted on the shoulder, and the qi machine that came from him already knew who it was.

Opening his eyes, Sun Yingxian wiped the mustache on his lips, sat on one side, and asked the tea shop guy for two cups of tea.

Outside, a scholar in a white robe with an apricot pattern in green clothes tied the reins, walked in, and said with a smile: "I thought Yan Chixia would be the first to arrive, but I didn't expect Qianwei to be faster than us." ”

Lu Liangsheng thanked the guy for the herbal tea, sat opposite Zuo Zhengyang, his nose fanned slightly, and raised his eyes.

"Qianwei, just killed someone?"

He knew that the one-armed man opposite was not an indiscriminate murderer, and at this time, he was stained with blood, and there must be a reason to use the knife, and in the middle of the sound, Zuo Zhengyang picked up the tea and touched it with Lu Liangsheng and the Taoist.

"Damn it, Zuo just gave him a ride for God!"

After saying this, he exhaled a breath of turbidity, and told Lu Liangsheng and the Taoist what had happened before, as well as what he had heard about the situation in Ziling Mountain.

"Under this Pyropy Sect, I don't know how many human bones are buried. ”
