Nightfall, it's night.

The crossings in Langya County were heavily fortified, and locked iron fences could be seen everywhere on the main roads; officers and soldiers on night patrol wandered the streets carelessly, looked at the sky, struck the gongs and drums in their hands, and then yawned.

During the Great Autumn Festival, all kinds of people from all over the country poured into Langya County, which seemed to turn the originally peaceful Langya into a mixed place. Although the people from the rivers and lakes who came to participate in the Great Autumn Festival accounted for the majority, there were not a few people who mixed in with it under such a name to do evil, and even some well-known disciples in the serious sect were secretly not serious.

Therefore, the local people in Langya County are mostly disturbed by it, and many Qinglou inns are also in trouble from time to time. For this reason, the government finally ordered a curfew.

Tonight is the first night of curfew.

Shen Yuqing, the son of Mrs. Shen's family, was leading a team of officers and soldiers at the moment, dangling on the streets of the West District in style. Different from the fully armed dress of the county guards behind him, Shen Yuqing was still wearing a long shirt, holding a folding fan, and humming a well-known song in his mouth.

However, most of these illiterate county guards obviously didn't have such elegant knowledge, they just thought it sounded good, and then looked at the son headed by them from time to time, looking at Shen Yuqing's much taller and stronger figure than them, and secretly sighed and felt ashamed.

Childe is also an interesting person.

Thinking like this, everyone glanced away again. The Yunxian Pavilion, which could be seen everywhere in the city, was still shining with dazzling lights at this moment, and it seemed that the sound of beauty could be heard from inside.

Everyone thought about what they were doing at the moment, and cursed in their hearts.

Suddenly there was a flower in front of me, and it seemed that something was dangling in the alleyway.

"What people!"

To everyone's surprise, it was Shen Yuqing who was the first to react, Shen Gongzi waved his hand, and a group of county guards who realized it later picked up their weapons and rushed towards the figure.

The cautious figure was suddenly startled, as if he didn't expect to be discovered, and then he turned around and hurriedly wanted to escape, but at this moment there were officers and soldiers chasing all around, and there was a fence in the main road, and it was almost impossible to escape.

The shadow looked around in a panic, and then climbed the low wall of a large courtyard and tried to leap into it.

As soon as Shen Yuqing's hand hidden in his sleeve moved, an iron bead shot out, hitting the back of the hand of the black shadow lying on the wall.

Under the pain, the black shadow let go of his hands, and his body fell down.

At the same time, the surrounding county guards rushed up, and countless spears stabbed out, firmly restraining the black shadow, making it unable to move.

Shen Yuqing stepped forward, squatted down gently, shook the folding fan, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to really let my son catch a thief, but it's a great achievement!"

The black shadow wanted to kowtow, but found that he was being pressed against his neck by all kinds of shining cold walls, and he was so frightened that he immediately shouted: "My lord, spare my life! The little one is a good citizen, and he has never done anything to hurt heaven and reason!"

"Good people?" Shen Yuqing sneered: "It's the second watch, there are still good people walking on the street, don't you know that tonight is a curfew?"

At this time, several county soldiers stepped forward with torches to illuminate the area.

Only then did everyone realize that the black shadow man was actually a very young man, but this man had a scruffy beard, a haggard face, and was extremely tired, which made his actual age magnify a lot.

The little one is a storyteller under the overpass, homeless, and there is a sudden curfew...... There is really nowhere to go!" the man said, and there was a cry in his tone, but how pitiful and pitiful it was.

Shen Yuqing looked at the man and suddenly frowned. He glanced back at the county soldiers behind him, and whispered: "How can this man look at him so familiarly, do you know him?"

"Childe, just ask him directly. One of the soldiers leaned down and whispered.

"Bastard!" Shen Yuqing angrily reprimanded: "The erector is not enough and conspiracy!"

The soldier shrank his head, raised his hand and slapped himself, "Damn it."

Another person stared at the man for a long time, and suddenly came to his senses: "Childe, I remember, this person used to be the deacon of Yunxian Pavilion, named Yan Xunhua!"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Shen Yuqing also patted his knee like an initiation, and then he waved his hand and motioned for everyone to put away their weapons.

The officers and soldiers withdrew their spears, stood upright, and formed a circle, still not giving the man the slightest chance to escape.

"Mr. Yan has changed too much, he didn't recognize it in the next moment, offended, offended!" Shen Yuqing clenched his fists to apologize, and then continued: "I have had several encounters with Mr. Yan in Xia, I don't know if Mr. Yan still remembers him?"

But at this moment, although Shen Yuqing eased his attitude, Yan Xunhua in front of him still looked frightened, he curled up, and showed even more fear: "Big, adult, small don't dare to climb high, just ask adults to let go of the small way to live!"

Yan Xunhua saw his crazy appearance, and her brows furrowed even deeper.

"What's going on?"

A pot-bellied adjutant stepped forward and whispered in Shen Yuqing's ear: "Childe, I heard that this Yan Xunhua went to Tai'an before, and after coming back, people were a little abnormal, and caused a lot of trouble, but Yunxian Pavilion still left him in the pavilion because of his feelings; ”

"I heard that after Yan Xunhua was kicked out, he went to Dongcheng District under the overpass to tell stories and sell some calligraphy and paintings to make a living, but he said that it was a repeat of a story, and the calligraphy and paintings sold were also sloppy, and over time, no one went to see him anymore, and then there was no news of him. ”

Shen Yuqing pursed his lips, his face was slightly sad, he nodded, then looked at Yan Xunhua, who was cowering, and said in a voice as much as possible: "Mr. Yan, under Shen Yuqing, I used to love Mr.'s paintings very much, and I asked Mr. for a few, but I don't know ...... Yan."

"Adult, the little one doesn't know anything! Please let the little one live!" Yan Xunhua seemed to be stimulated by something, waving her hands and shouting, her voice was hoarse, just blindly begging, as if she couldn't listen to anything what others said.

Shen Yuqing was almost slapped by his hand, and hurriedly retracted his body, and then his gaze at Yan Xunhua became more compassionate.

"How could such a good person become like this?" he sighed, he really couldn't figure it out.

The adjutant leaned forward again and said bluntly: "Childe, I think it may be your appearance that scares him." ”
