Chapter 9: Evacuation in the Suburbs (3)

Chen Xingwu tried to break free, but the thin man was not small. The fat man's knife was a little stronger, and he didn't dare to move.

The thin man asked, "Where do you want to go?"

Seeing that the resistance was useless, Chen Xingwu said truthfully: "I want to enter the city." ”

The thin man asked again: "Doesn't Gongzi Chen know the wanted notice posted at the city gate?"

Chen Xingwu was stunned: "There is a wanted warrant? I really don't know." How so?"

The fat man shook his head and said: "Chen Xingwen, Chen Xingwu, whether they live or die, they will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver." He deliberately frightened Chen Xingwu, tampered with the content of the sea fishing documents, and asked for a living person in the wanted warrant, and Chen Xingwu only rewarded 100 taels. "If Brother Chen wants to run, we will kill you, anyway, the reward is the same, and it is easier to bring a death. ”

Chen Xingwu panicked now: his life is gone, how can he still think about Li Jiaojiao. He is a scoundrel, but he is most afraid of death. He trembled and said, "I don't run. ”

The fat man pulled Chen Xingwu's hair: "To be honest, are you Chen Xingwen or Chen Xingwu?"

Chen Xingwu said: "It's Chen Xingwu." ”

The fat man pulled his hair down, made Chen Xingwu lean up his neck, and then said fiercely: "Tell the truth, otherwise you will die a very uncomfortable death." I'll use a knife to slash you slowly. He gestured around his neck.

Chen Xingwu instinctively shrunk his shoulders, "Don't dare to tell lies, I'm really Chen Xingwu." ”

The fat man and the thin man looked at each other and said, "Tie him up first." ”

The thin man took off Chen Xingwu's coat and tied him up with his backhand.

The fat man asked again, "Where is Chen Xingwen?"

Chen Xingwu pondered how to answer. Because he understands that if his younger brother is caught, there is no possibility of him escaping, so how can he create an opportunity for his younger brother to save him?

Seeing that he didn't answer, the fat man put the knife on his chest and exerted a little force, "Say it quickly!"

Chen Xingwu felt a tingling pain, "I said, I said." I can't name that place, so I'll take you there. ”

The thin man glanced at the fat man and said, "I heard that his secret weapon is particularly powerful, and the wine-colored monks are not his opponents." My brothers and I went in vain, or I would like to bring this kid back to the owner of the village first, and let the owner of the village send someone again. ”

The fat man thought for a while and said, "But the distance is so far, it will take a few days to go and come, and Chen Xingwen doesn't know where to go early." The owner of the village came and couldn't find anyone, and it was difficult for us to explain. ”

Chen Xingwu listened to their conversation, guessed their identities, and asked them: "You are not from the government?"

The thin man shouted, "Shut up! It's not your turn to ask us." Then he said to the fat man: "If you don't hand him over to the government, you can get a hundred taels of silver." ”

The fat man shook his head: "No, if the owner of the village knows, won't he want your life and mine." Let's go see Chen Xingwen's foothold first, and if you have the opportunity, take him too. There's no chance to start, let's figure it out. ”

The thin man pushed Chen Xingwu: "Let's go, take us there." If you want to play tricks, I'll kill you first, and death is worth it anyway. ”

Chen Xingwu had no choice but to lead the way.

The thin man said again: "You listen to what I say." If you catch Chen Xingwen, you can get a reward of 1,000 taels of silver. If you will help us catch him, we will not only release you, but also give you two hundred taels. If we can't catch him, hehe, we'll have to take your head to the government to exchange money. ”

Chen Xingwu didn't dare to say anything.

The fat man's mouth couldn't be idle: "Although the brother is deeply affectionate, when it comes to life and death, you still have to think about it." Besides, if we catch Chen Xingwen, we won't want his life, our village owner treats him as a guest, and your life will be better. ”

Chen Xingwu was moved by these words, and he was half-convinced: "Really?" Li Siyuan and Li Cunxiao also watched their younger brother in front of the guests, so he believed the other party's words.

The fat man raised his voice: "Of course it's true." ”

Chen Xingwu was not as nervous as before, "I will definitely help you." Although his secret weapon is powerful, it is easy to catch him, you can just use me to blackmail him. ”

The fat man smiled disdainfully: "That's a good idea. But you must remember, don't play tricks, your little life is in our hands. Whenever something is wrong, I'll stab you first. ”

Chen Xingwu's tone was sincere: "Don't worry, how dare I take my life as a child's play." Besides, my brothers and I didn't go with you to kill your head. I know that your owner wants my brother's secret weapon, and it is not our life. ”

The fat man said, "It's good to know." ”

Not long after leaving, the three of them came to the farmhouse, and Chen Xingwu shouted: "Xingwen, save me." ”

Chen Xingwen ran out with a short gun, only to see Chen Xingwu being used as a shield and controlled by the fat man.

The thin man stood aside. "Your brother is in our hands, and if you are willing to go with us, then you will be fine, but if you do not, I will not say much about the consequences, you know. When you've thought about it, throw the hidden weapon in your hand. ”

Chen Xingwen analyzed the situation in front of him: There is no problem to solve this fat and thin problem, but it is difficult to protect my brother from harm. You can only deal with them first, and then look for opportunities. "Who are you, where do you want me to go?" he asked.

The fat man said: "You naturally know." ”

Chen Xingwen's tone was firm: "If you don't explain it, I won't go!"

The fat man used some strength against Chen Xingwu's knife, and Chen Xingwu screamed "ah". "Xingwen, do what they say. ”

Chen Xingwen's heart tightened, but he pretended not to care: "I'm not a fool, the situation is unknown, I'll go with you, maybe I will take my life again, or you will let my brother go first." ”

The fat man moved his hand holding the knife again, and Chen Xingwu screamed again. "Xingwen, it's painful for me, promise them. They're not going to kill you, they just want guns. ”

Chen Xingwen hurriedly said: "If they don't say that I just won't go!"

The fat man was helpless, "Okay, I said." We are from Daxiongzhai. We, the king, Chi Xiong, invite you to be a guest. ”

Chen Xingwen wanted to delay time, and only asked after a while, "How does he know me?"

The fat man said: "It was introduced by the wine father-in-law." ”

Chen Xingwen said slowly: "Who is the wine father?"

The fat man said: "He was originally called a wine-colored monk, but his second child is gone, and now everyone calls him a wine-tasting father-in-law." ”

Chen Xingwen couldn't help laughing, "It turned out to be him." He also dared to make waves. Since your king has invited me to be a guest, is there such a treat as you?"

The thin man asked rhetorically, "If you don't ask you like this, can you come with us?"

Chen Xingwen said: "Of course it will." Well, you wait a while, and I'll go into the house and ask for the baggage, and then I'll go with you. ”

The fat man and the thin man hesitated, Chen Xingwen was reasonable, and he couldn't refute it, but he was worried that he would enter the house and use tricks. Chen Xingwen was about to walk into the house, and Chen Xingwu screamed again. This time it wasn't the fat man's stab, he pretended to do it, and he deliberately prevented his younger brother from entering the house.

The thin man understood what Chen Xingwu meant. "Don't go. I'll stab him to death when I go. ”

Chen Xingwen stopped and didn't dare to enter the house, "What do you want?"

The fat man beckoned, "Throw your secret weapon over first." ”

Chen Xingwen relented and said: "I once promised others that my gun would never be given to anyone else, even if I died, I wouldn't." Brother, let's die. He stabbed you to death, I beat them to death, and then committed suicide to accompany you. ”

These words shook all three of them.

There was silence for a long time before the fat man said, "What are you going to do in the house?"

Chen Xingwen said: "I won't enter the house anymore, I will go to the back mountain to hide my gun." I'll go with you when I'm hidden. ”

The fat man was helpless, glanced at the thin man, saw that he had no objection, and said, "Okay, we'll wait for you." But be quick, if we lose patience, we will have to take your brother's head and go to the government for a hundred taels of silver. ”

Tang Wuwei was inconvenient to ask passers-by about Chen Xingwen's news, so he could only look for it from place to place, which can be described as looking for a needle in a haystack. But he was unwilling to give up, and finding Chen Xingwen meant too much to him.

He came to a teashed and decided to go in and rest. There were a few people sitting inside, discussing Chen Xingwen's affairs.

The owner of the tea shed asked while busy with the work in his hands: "Yan San, did you find a clue today?"

The man named Yan San turned around and said, "It's so easy to find, the government won't give five hundred taels of silver." ”

The boss motioned for Tang Wuwei to sit down, and said, "I said that the brothers surnamed Chen are not stupid, the government wants him, can he still stay nearby? This is not far from Liang Guo, and it is not difficult to run over.

Yan San put down the peanuts sandwiched in the chopsticks, "You don't understand this." Chen Xingwu's kid, I know best, he doesn't have much money on him, so he won't go to Liang Kingdom. He couldn't bear the loneliness, and after hiding for more than ten days, he would definitely come out for a walk. ”

A tea-drinking guest asked, "So, do you know him?"

Tang Wuwei heard that the guest was a Luoyang accent and glanced at him.

Yan San took a sip of wine: "I know everything burned to ashes." He still owes me two taels of silver for gambling debts. ”

The guest asked, "Are you friends?"

Yan San shook his head and shook his head: "Friends are not counted, they are gamblers." ”

The guest said "hehe" twice. "Boss, check out. After settling the bill, he left.

Tang Wuwei turned towards Yan San: "Brother Yan, do you mean that you are sure to find someone surnamed Chen?"

Yan San looked confident: "As long as he is still in Jinju, I will definitely be able to find it." Oh, this brother Tai, he's a foreigner, do you want to come and find someone to get a reward?"

Tang Wuwei owes his body: "Where." I saw the arrest warrant at the city gate, and I heard you talk about it, and I felt curious, so I interjected to talk. You can't find it, I'm a foreigner, how dare I mix this water. ”

Yan San took another sip of wine: "Don't say it, I've seen several groups of people, and they must have come to look for the Chen brothers." They are not like officials, but they are like they have come for silver. ”

The boss said while cleaning up the tea set on the table: "The elder brother has a hundred taels and the younger brother has five hundred taels, they have become a cornucopia, who doesn't want to get rich? It's easier than going to the river to pan for gold." ”

Tang Wuwei said to Yan San again: "Outsiders are looking for it, it's unreliable." Who have you met?"

Yan San lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious: "From their accents, it is inferred that there are those from Jinzhong, Taiyuan, and Luoyang." Wasn't that one from Luoyang just now?"

Tang Wuwei pretended to be puzzled: "Could it be that he is also looking for it?"

Yan San glanced outside the door and said, "I've seen him wandering around the neighborhood several times. Maybe. One of my brothers said that in addition to the government, there are also people looking for them privately, and the price is much higher than that of the government. If you're looking for it, brother, how much will you come up with?"

Tang Wuwei smiled: "Hehe, what am I looking for him, one is not a friend and the other is not a relative, can't I find him to go to my house to drink?"

The boss interjected: "I don't understand, why did the brothers pay such a big price to find them when they said that the brothers burned down the house? ”

Yan San chewed the vegetables: "It doesn't matter what he does, if he is willing to pay, there will naturally be someone willing to contribute." ”

Tang Wuwei couldn't ask anything, walked out of the tea shed, and walked aimlessly. Suddenly, there was a noise behind him, and he realized that he was being followed. He turned around and saw that it was the Luoyang man who came.

Tang Wuwei asked coldly, "Why did Brother Tai follow me?"

The people of Luoyang stopped: "Hehe, the shadowless dart is so vigilant, and he is worthy of being a master of hidden weapons." ”

Tang Wuwei immediately put his hand in his pocket, "In the lower eye, ...... brother?"

The people of Luoyang hugged their fists: "In Xialuoshui, Zhou Xingyun." ”
