Chapter 5: Dark Green
Yulan gave Tang Xiaomi a look—the left eye blinked, and the right eye blinked three times—and Tang Xiaomi understood.
Use the old tea I bought in March last year to make a pot for Lin Zhutou.
The intention of catching the head is not in the tea, but between the eyebrows, this big beauty has a pair of autumn eyes, which is extraordinarily good-looking, and keeps hooking Lin Zhutou's heart.
Lin Zhutou boasted that he had read countless women, but he had never seen Youlan so beautiful, since the day he saw Youlan, he suddenly became alone, and he never left Zishi Street again, it has been three years.
"Seven days ago, Gongye Leopard, the lord of Heifeng Village in Qilian Mountain, suddenly died at the hands of a young man in white. ”
"That Gongye Leopard is also a good man in our Hexi region, and he studied under the Kongtong layman Feng Sanniang and practiced martial arts. At the age of eighteen, he fought all over Hexi and was invincible. Now thirty years have passed, and it has formed a three-legged stand with the Huangsha Gang of Horsehair Mountain and the Qiang Gang of Altun Mountain. ”
"That young man went up the mountain alone, and only asked the master of the village, do you know the first beauty in the world?"
"Gongye Leopard, the lord of Dazhai, only said one sentence, my daughter-in-law is the first beauty in the world, and she was stabbed to death by the young man in white with a sword!"
Lin Zhutou said a few words in a row, took a sip of tea, felt that the taste was not quite right, and spit out a tea stick.
Youlan clasped her shoulders with her hands and listened to Lin Zhutou's storytelling, she was already a little used to it.
This Lin Zhutou often brings some "he thinks" terrifying news, telling Yulan to listen, and the last time he came, he also told her about a case about the "intestine-digging demon", which was bloody and terrifying, and extremely cruel.
In fact, Lin Zhutou can be regarded as his favorite, this Yu Lanizi loves to listen to these terrifying and bloody stories.
"Finished?" Youlan raised his eyebrows unsatisfied.
"Of course not. Lin Zhutou continued: "After the death of the master of the village, the two deputy owners of the Black Wind Village agreed that whoever avenges the master of the village first will sit on the first golden chair. And guess what?"
Tang Xiaomi walked over, sat down, lifted one leg, stepped on the chair, and said, "Don't sell Guanzi." ”
"Hey, Miss Mi, it's boring, it's boring. Let you guess, you can guess, it's interesting. Lin Zhutou said dissatisfiedly.
"Do you want to say it?" Tang Xiaomi pulled the teapot to his side.
Lin Zhutou immediately snatched the teapot back again, and said with a smile: "I said, I said." ”
"Hong Chengkui, the master of the three villages of Heifeng Village, what kind of man is that? Known as the first fast knife in Hexi, he took sixteen brothers to hunt down the young man in white, and with just one sword, he was cut off sixteen heads. A head is eight and a half pounds, and sixteen is eighty-five pounds. ”
"Wow!" Yulan exclaimed, "What a fast sword." ”
"That's not all," Lin Zhutou said nervously: "This person is not only high in martial arts, but also ruthless, listening to the farmer who reported the news, he later fought alone with Hong Chengkui, and had knocked Hong Chengkui to the ground and sprayed blood, but he still refused to let go, picked up a knife, and cut Hong Chengkui's head in half!"
"Huh~~, it's disgusting!" Tang Mi grinned.
"Hey, Lin Zhutou, you came here to scare my two sisters again, didn't you?" At this time, Wu Song walked back, carrying a tree on his shoulder, which was three hundred catties, but on Wu Song's shoulder, it seemed to be fluttering: "Let's leave after drinking tea, don't talk about those things that scare people." Who can cut sixteen heads with a single sword?"
"That's right, I don't believe it either!" Lin Zhutou hurriedly stood up, arched his hand to the number one hero on Zishi Street, and then said awe-inspiringly: "With my years of experience in handling cases, I think there must be something wrong with the person who reported the news, and I have already locked him up." Torture, be sure to make him tell the truth. Hmph, I'm sure there's a big conspiracy here. ”
"What big conspiracy?" said Shilan curiously.
"You think, our three major gangsters in Jiuquan -- Gongye Leopard, the lord of Heifeng Village in Qilian Mountain, the old village of Huangsha Village in Horsehair Mountain, and Ma Bufang, the chief of the Qiang people gang in Altun Mountain, have been entrenched in fighting for many years, can there be no grudges against each other? I think there must be something wrong here. ”
"It's not that the three of them are quite harmonious? and there is some kind of caravan alliance, which only robs a passing merchant once, and never kills anyone. "Youlan is not very old, but he knows a lot, and the so-called small radio on Zishi Street is really worthy of its reputation.
Tang Xiaomi grabbed a handful of melon seeds from his pocket, swallowed them privately, spit out the skin of the melon seeds, and said: "Our bandits in Jiuquan are the bandits who are the least like bandits, they never harass the local people, and they are also quite kind to past merchants. The so-called robbery is just to collect tolls, so there are often merchants who sing their praises, and many people take the initiative to go up the mountain to pay the money, but they don't see a single scolding them. ”
"That's right. You Lan said unevenly: "The officials are too lazy to build the road, and the three of them have done good things for the people by building the road in Hexi smoothly." ”
"Hey, you two, what's going on, what's going on?" Lin Zhutou rolled his eyelids and pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife: "Didn't you see my knife? I'm an official family, tell me this?"
"What's going on, what's going on, who made our master angry? Nima doesn't want to be good?" Two people suddenly walked in at the door, one with a big butt and a round face and small eyes, and when they heard the accent, they knew that it was Tianjin Wei. His name is Zhang San, and he is the nephew of Zhang County.
Behind him, there was a slightly lame man.
These two people look very old, estimated to be about thirty years old, and they are wearing soap clothes from the government.
The lame man didn't speak at first, a pair of eyes swept the inn, and then the corners of his mouth tightened, and he said with some stuttering: "You guys...... You two are so different from that, how can you talk to my master? ”
When I heard the accent, Liaodong people, this accent sounded kind, because Wu Song and Tang Mi came to Liaodong, while Youlan was born in North Korea, came to the Tang family from Pyongyang at the age of eight, and then moved to Jiuquan when he was ten years old. Wandering, many of them have a bitter history, don't mention it.
This lame man, named Zhao Si, is the nephew of Zhang Zhao's family in Zhang County.
Speaking of this Mrs. Zhao, it is not small.
She was originally the maid of Yan Song's family, a scholar of the palace of the Ministry of Officials, because of her handsome appearance and sweet mouth, she was liked by Yan Song, and she often carried the eldest lady of the family on her back, and she had such a leg in life.
Yan Song thought that the matter was confidential, but he never thought that the eldest lady had already noticed it, and suddenly one day, the eldest lady called her mother's family to understand with Yan Song.
At that time, Yan Song stubbornly refused to admit it, but as soon as she let go, the woman would be beaten to death.
Be careful of the head meat, how can you be willing to let her die?
At this time, someone came to pay homage to the post, this person was not a bystander, it was Zhang Xianling when he was young. Zhang Xian's family is poor and has no good courtesy, but he can write a good hand, hoping to please Yan Song and worship his protégé.
Originally, Yan Song was not eye-catching for a poor scholar like him, but fate came at the right time, Yan Song said to him, if you are willing to play a play for me, and only say that you have an affair with my little slave, I will beat you first, and then expel the two of you, and I will give you a county order in the future.
When Zhang Xianling understood the strangeness, he agreed, first he was beaten, and three months later, he came to Jiuquan to take office with a green hat. Six months after getting married, Mrs. Zhao gave birth to a big fat boy for him. At this point, his head is greener.
But he was not angry, but rejoiced, and often said to men, "This son is a god of heaven, and he will have great blessings."
"Let me tell you, if you talk like this, I will knock you down three times at the entrance of our yamen!" Zhao Si glared at the and pinched his waist and said angrily.
"Hey, fourth, how do you talk to Shopkeeper You. Zhang San pretended to be bitter and complained: "Look at you, everyone is friends, just kidding, you are still serious." ”
"Bang!" Tang Xiaomi slapped the table: "Who is friends with you, you still owe money and haven't given it, Lan Lan, calculate for them, how much money they owe this year!"
"On the 15th and 8th pounds of the first lunar month, 123 coins and 20 wen; in the first month of May, 58 catties of zongzi and 10 catties of rice wine, 225 coins and 40 wen; in August 158 catties of moon cakes and 10 catties of river crabs, 322 coins and 50 wen......"
"Hey, don't forget it, don't forget it, we still have official business to do. Zhang San hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Master, let's go first, you can stay by yourself......" Before the words fell, the two ran away one after the other.
"Grandma's, two little rabbit cubs!" Lin Zhutou chased to the door and scolded.
"Lin Zhutou, the debts of the two beloved apprentices, why don't you settle them together?" You Lan sneered.
"Okay, okay, I won't talk to you. Lin Zhutou didn't expect the two apprentices to owe so much money, and he was in a very bad mood, so he sank his face and said, "I'll tell you some serious things next." According to the internal news of the six doors, the three major flower thieves in the world are rushing here. Now there are only three of you in the inn, can you keep it?"
"Huh?" Yulan was startled.
Lin Zhutou suddenly pulled out the knife and said generously: "If it is just three little thieves, I, Lin Jiahan, can do it alone." But I also heard from a local informant that Ma Bufang wants to lead 16 people to the inn to rob relatives, is this true? We in Jiuquan County, there is such a thing as robbing relatives, this is not illegal, according to the convention, dragon boat races in the summer, tug-of-war in the winter, are you ready for a man with great strength?" patted his chest: "Do you want me to help?"
"Hey, wait, who's the one who robbed the kiss, you can make it clear. Tang Xiaomi rubbed his ears, "How could it be Ma Bufang, isn't it Zhang Hanshan?"
"Oh, it doesn't matter who he is, it's the same, it's just here to give the bride price. Wu Song waved his hand and said.
Lin Zhutou nodded and said: "According to local customs, if you are willing to marry, you will lose to them, leave the bride price, send away your daughter, and have the right to be happy." But if they are unwilling to marry, they will lose again in tug of war, then there will be nothing to say, and both people and money will be empty. This is the rule set by the Zhang County Order, who would dare to stand up to the imperial court officials?"
At this time, Wu Song walked over: "I'm not afraid of tug-of-war, with me, just find a few men to help, and they want to take back their bride price." Let's not talk about this, what did you say just now, the three flower thieves? These three people are like this, is it the crane sorrow, the Hong Lonely and the Yan Solo Fly?"
"Yes. ”
Hearing this, Wu Song gasped, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly wrote a hero post, and summoned the beggar brothers to gather in Jiuquan to fight against the enemy.
To know the origin of the three major flower thieves, and listen to the next section of the breakdown.
