Text Chapter 137 A Thousand Shots
Pei Yuxiang, who was drinking tea at home, suddenly heard a knock on the door, so he put down the teacup in his hand and said to the young housekeeper, "Go and see who is outside the door?"
The butler agreed, and then trotted all the way to the door, opened the door and saw the head catcher in the city, so he said: "It turned out to be Geng Catcher, I don't know why I came?" The head catcher didn't say anything, he broke in directly, followed by three or five catchers, and then said to the housekeeper: "I just found the remains of fish and meat outside the mansion, so I suspect that someone has lurked in Master Pei's house." ”
The housekeeper smiled and said: "Geng Zhu, where is this, maybe it was still the wild cat that came over, how could anyone in Ziyang City dare to break ground on Lord Pei's head." At this time, Pei Yuxiang also walked out of it, and when he saw that it was the head catcher of the city, he stepped forward to greet him: "Xiao Geng, why did you come to me?"
Seeing Pei Yuxiang coming out, the head catcher hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord, I suspect that someone has sneaked into your mansion!" Pei Yuxiang was stunned for a moment, a little flustered, and hurriedly asked: "Are you sure? Who knows?" The head catcher said what he had just seen and heard to Pei Yuxiang, and the latter thought after listening to it: "Xiao Geng's reasoning is good, I don't eat fish, and I can't stand the fishy smell of fish at all, so it is theoretically impossible for fish to appear around the mansion." Speaking of this, Pei Yuxiang suddenly shouted, "It's not good, my study!" Before the words fell, everyone hurried to the study.
Ren Xiao, who was hiding in the shadows, witnessed all this, thanks to the fact that he and Feng Shang had not yet made a move, otherwise they might have been caught right at this time. "Hey, that head catcher said it was the remains of the fish, where did you throw the grilled fish you finished?" Ren Xiao looked at Feng Shang with disgust. Feng Shang licked his lips, there was still the fragrance of saury on it, and said, "I casually threw it under the willow tree outside the wall." ”
"Ahh Feng Shang also knew that he had made a mistake, so he smiled embarrassedly, and said, "Let's follow first, see what they are doing in the study?"
Facts have proved that Ren Xiao's guess is not wrong, there is really something wrong with the county order of Ziyang City, and not only him, but even the guards in the city, and even the fast arrest are all complicit with him. It was Li Xiangri who used him to find the long-lost Night Moon Soul back then, and at that time, this Pei County Order had already been mixed with the local traders, and he didn't know how much ill-gotten wealth had been collected in private. However, this Pei Yuxiang is also very smart, he never takes a penny directly from the common people, but uses the big and small traders in Ziyang City to let them make huge profits from the people, and then Pei Yuxiang takes money from them.
Therefore, the entire Ziyang City seems to be living and working in peace and contentment on the surface, but in private, I don't know how many illegal transactions are going on. Drugs, casinos, brothels and even those pharmacies and medical abandonies are all squeezing the blood and sweat of ordinary people.
And the robbers outside the city have long been involved with Pei Yuxiang, every time the robbers pretend to attack the city, then Pei Yuxiang will organize the people to raise donations, and the money obtained will be divided equally with the robbers. Sometimes some people would voluntarily organize self-defense forces to fight the robbers, but Pei Yuxiang deliberately led them into the traps of the robbers, and the captured people were either killed or forced to work as coolies.
When Ren Xiao and Ye Lan secretly hid outside the study, Pei Yuxiang had already walked into the study, and then the housekeeper and the head catcher also followed, and a few catchers and family members were guarding the door. After a long time, I saw Pei Yuxiang and Yu Kuai walking out with a smile. Pei Yuxiang said: "Thanks to the murderer who has not yet acted, there is no shortage of things at all." ”
Catch quickly arched his hand and said to him: "My lord, it seems that some outsiders have come to Ziyang City recently, should we also take action?"
Pei Yuxiang stared at the rockery in the garden, and said expressionlessly: "Since the other party has come to the door, then we will play with this abrasive little flower cat and let it know whose territory Ziyang City is!"
After a while, he asked again: "I heard Chang Chao say today, are you testing a young man who wants to join us?" Pei Yuxiang nodded and said, "That guy said that Sun Tiansheng of the Immortal Cave was driven away by him, so I plan to let Bei Yi try him, if he really has the strength, then see if he can really win him over, if it's just a big thing, then kill it directly." ”
Catching Kuai's expression was a little worried, and said: "My lord, if there is chaos today, everything has become confusing, I think we should be careful, besides, just a night moon soul is enough for us." There's a token from the capital guards on the other side of the school, and we can't move it. I think it's better to be more stable now. ”
"Hmph, what are you afraid of? Naturally, someone will deal with the Night Moon Soul, we just need to collect a lot of money and prepare as soon as possible, after all, we have been preparing for a long time. By the way, how did that go on?" Pei Yuxiang was like an old fox, planning everything there. Catch quickly arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, three or five hundred people have infiltrated in!"
"No, it's still too few, if we want to slaughter the city, this number of people is not enough!"
Ren Xiao and Feng Shang, who were hiding in the dark and eavesdropping, suddenly heard the words "slaughtering the city", and their legs were weak in fright, and they didn't dare to come out.
"This is terrible! It seems that this Pei Yuxiang is not just a corrupt official, but a person who is ready to rebel!" Feng Shang said in a trembling whisper. Ren Xiao also saw sweat on his forehead and swallowed his saliva. "It's much harder to deal with robbers now!"
"Looks like we need support!" The beads of sweat on Ren Xiao's forehead fell to the ground, wetting the dirt under his feet.
"Master Pei, the top priority at the moment is to find the little wild cat lurking in your mansion first, we can't make a mistake at this juncture!" The headcatcher's gaze was like a torch, as if the lurker could no longer escape from the palm of his hand. Pei Yuxiang glanced at him, walked straight to the gate with his hands behind his back, leaving only one sentence, "This is your Geng Di's business, I will go to the government for one night, and I will see people early tomorrow morning!"
"Yes", the majestic Geng Di gave his hand to the order. "Come on, fence the house for me, don't let a fly fly out!"
Ren Xiao, who was hiding in the shadows, secretly screamed that it was not good, and he couldn't escape now. "Why don't we fight!" Feng Shang had already grasped the thunder stick, ready to fight his way out of the encirclement. Ren Xiao really didn't want to reveal his identity so early, because this Pei Yuxiang seemed to have a bigger secret.
The family members in Pei's mansion jointly launched a carpet search, and seeing that the arrest was about to find his hiding place, Feng Shang looked at Ren Xiao anxiously, hoping that he could make a decision quickly.
Ren Xiao was also sweating like rain, his brain was running fast, and he wanted to come up with a perfect plan.
"It's too late, Ren Xiao, let's make a move!" Feng Shang's thunder stick had already been drawn, and the other party was already close at hand.
Suddenly, a figure tumbled off the beams of the hall. Everyone was attracted by this sudden figure. "Found it!," cried out a housekeeper. In a matter of moments, a large crowd of people had filled the hall with water.
"Who is she?" Ren Xiao, who was hiding in the shadows, could only see a graceful back. It was none other than the sycamore that came down from the roof.
"Who are you, dare to lurk in the mansion of the county commander of Ziyang City!" the bright embroidered spring knife in Geng Di's hand flashed with cold light.
Wutong didn't speak, her eyes quickly looked around, she was looking for the best breakthrough. Soon, she noticed that there were only two people guarding the window, but her attention was not directly on the window, but on Geng Di.
"Are you Geng Di, who is known as the God Catcher?" Wutong has been in Ziyang for more than half a year, so he has naturally heard of Geng Di's name. Although this catcher is only one of Pei Yuxiang's lackeys, he has two brushes. All the underworld in Ziyang City that had never dealt with Pei Yuxiang was finally destroyed by this god catcher, and Geng Di was also blown into the sky in Ziyang Gengdi.
"Now that you know my name, don't you hurry up and catch it!" Geng Di held the hilt of the knife with both hands, and he could see from Wutong's eyes that this woman would not give in easily.
Sycamore opened his hands and took a deep breath, only to see all the leaves outside the house floating in the air, and then poured into the hall, forming two large hands on Indus's back.
"I haven't been able to meet a person who uses external forces in Ziyang for so many years, and you are the first!" Geng Di turned his knife horizontally, "I can finally have a good time!" As soon as the words fell, a fog rose around him. It was already noon, but the fog was so thick that it was almost impossible to see your fingers.
Even Ren Xiao, who was hiding in the shadows, was affected, and everything in front of them was hidden in the thick fog. Suddenly, there were a few crisp sounds in his ears, and Ren Xiao remembered that it was the sound of the leaves of the sycamore hitting the weapon.
The intermittent crashing sound was incessant, and no one knew what was happening in the middle of the fog. I can only pull my ears and try to listen.
"Hahaha, I can hold on for so long in my 'fog'. You're the first, too!" Geng Di's laughter came out. But Sycamore didn't seem to want to communicate much with this person, and rarely made a sound the whole time. This made it impossible for Ren Xiao and them to know who appeared at this critical moment, whether it was a coincidence or premeditated.
In fact, Wutong came with Ren Xiao, and since Ren Xiao entered Ziyang City and was discovered by Wutong, this woman has been following Ren Xiao most of the time. It was only when he saw Ren Xiao and the others that they were about to fall into a crisis just now that they stepped forward, intending to use themselves to divert the attention of Geng Di's group.
Since he had successfully diverted Geng Di's attention, there was no point in staying here and fighting him. So Wutong took advantage of the fog and took advantage of the gap between Geng Di's words to rush towards the window that had been calculated just now.
"It's useless! I can see everything clearly in the fog. Geng Di didn't know Wutong's plan, and thought that the other party was a desperate incursion. It wasn't until Wutong pounced out of the window with unmistakable precision that Geng Di was shocked, the woman in front of him was far from being as simple as he thought.
"Chase me quickly!" Geng Di gave an order, and all the catchers chased in the direction where Wutong had fled.
Ren Xiao and Feng Shang, who were hiding, breathed a sigh of relief.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, are you going home? Poor gourd is still working, I really envy those friends who go home early for the holidays, and at the same time express admiration for those friends who still insist on their posts!!
