Chapter 535: Bandits
Xia Qiao was a hunter in the mountains in his early years, shooting arrows well, and he was proficient in martial arts, and his wisdom and courage were outstanding. When Shopkeeper Lu washed his hands, he didn't forget his old subordinate. After everyone opened the skylight and finished speaking, a group of evil bandits began to commit suicide, among which the victor led by the owner of Lu came to the city of Suzhou to do serious business.
At that time, although Geng Ding himself was not able to do martial arts, he was born in a big family in the county, and when the shopkeeper Lu was still a bandit, he had a lot of dealings with him.
Therefore, when Geng Ding traveled to and from Suzhou City, he was always the first to find the shopkeeper of Lu, and the two sides knew each other, so they naturally succeeded in doing good things. At that time, Hu Pier followed his master and ran away to this Suzhou City, I don't know how many times, but I only knew that the shopkeeper surnamed Lu was loyal and easy to talk about.
didn't know that this shopkeeper Lu just seemed to be loyal, and he was obedient to Geng Ding back then, but he was just afraid of the family forces behind Geng Ding, and Geng Ding was kind to him. The slave dared to speak disrespectfully in front of him, if he had fallen into the grass back then, Shopkeeper Lu was afraid that he would cut off his head with a knife.
It's just that now that the shopkeeper Lu has washed his hands for many years, he has taken root in this Suzhou City, so he naturally doesn't want to expose himself rashly for the sake of a mere dog minion. But now that Xu Yao and Tiger Skin are out of Suzhou City, whether they are dead or alive naturally has nothing to do with Shopkeeper Lu, and now they are looking for this Xia Qiao, just to cut off the life of Tiger Skin, and then get the money back.
This Xia Qiao followed the shopkeeper Lu all the way to the dark, and now he has thousands of gold family business in this Suzhou City, and he is married to a Hun family, he is extremely virtuous, and he doesn't know how comfortable this little life is.
It's just that most of Xia Qiao's other bad habits have been changed under the hard advice of his own family. It's just that when the bandits' horizons are broad, they don't care about the silver, they have good wine and meat all day long, and they love gambling, and in the past few years, they have gradually become a little shy.
Although the shopkeeper Lu often helps, he is gradually unable to make ends meet, and when he is worried, he has this kind of thing, and he can't help but be overjoyed for a while, and he begins to gear up at home.
After secretly making an appointment with his old friend Xu Yao and the two, he had already arrived in this town tonight, and when the tiger skin fell asleep, he was about to rush in and chop it into meat on the spot.
It was the night after the tiger skin was tired, and then slept with the clothes, suddenly heard the shouting loudly, when the eyes opened, the room was red, several big men rushed into the room, after the tiger skin was startled, see these big men with axes and swords, a fierce look of evil
The appearance, where did not know that he had been robbed, for a while two trembling, feces and urine came out, seeing that there was nowhere to avoid, he knelt on the ground with a plop, and declared that he had an eighty old mother and a child who was just about to give birth.
The first big man smiled coldly when he heard this, took a step forward, lifted the collar of the tiger skin, and whispered to him, "You kid also received thirty taels of life money, and also ate a meal of severed head wine, why, now I remember that my cheap life is not worth so much money? Isn't it a little too late?"
After the big man finished speaking, he didn't continue to talk nonsense, chopped off the tiger skin with an axe, and after the corpse was discarded in the room at will, he began to call friends and move the wealth and silver.
At this time, the tenants and merchants, the old and the young, each frightened and dodged, until the tiger skin room was silent and the thieves were all gone, so they dared to show their heads and gather one by one to discuss.
Xu Yao walked out of his room slowly and methodically at this time, only to see the owner of the shop at the door was hit with a stick in his face, still unconscious, and the tiger skin in the other room, his body had been made in half, Xu Yao glanced at it, and then withdrew his gaze expressionlessly, and then went back to sleep by himself regardless of the chaos of the scene.
The next morning, a group of people rushed to the county to report the case, the official man interrogated the words, and then sent someone to examine the corpse injury, and the corpse was in the coffin to store the corpse.
When the news reached the ears of the shopkeeper Lu, the shopkeeper smiled slightly, and then rode to the town on a starry night and saw Xu Yao. I saw Xu Yao alone, with a panicked face, and no luggage around him, so he was not miserable.
Seeing that the Lu shopkeeper arrived here, Xu Yao opened his mouth and said: "The tiger skin is dead, and the store has been dragged to take care of it, and the bags and property have been robbed by those robbers, I am alone, embarrassed, I don't know the way, and it is difficult to return to my hometown, and I have the trust of the Geng family, how can this be good?"
When the shopkeeper Lu heard Xu Yao's miserable words, he immediately comforted him, "It is said that the turmoil and thieves are wronged in the previous life, but they are destined, and they must not escape. If you can't catch someone for a while, the old man will also give the Xianggong some entanglements, and send someone to send the Xianggong home, so you don't have to worry too much, so as not to hurt your body. ”
Xu Yao thanked the shopkeeper Lu again, and the shopkeeper Lu said that it was okay, and hired a donkey for Xu Yao, let Xu Yao ride, and went on the road together
Come to this city of Suzhou. When I arrived at home, I treated each other with kindness every day, spoke comfortingly, and regarded myself as a loyal elder, where did I have the appearance of a murderous bandit?
Xu Yao stayed in Suzhou City for half a month, and did not wait for any news, so the shopkeeper Lu looked for Xu Yao and said, "I have been away from home for a long time, and I have been waiting here for half a month, and there is no news of this batch of goods, so it is better to return to my hometown for the time being." This is borne by the old man, if God has the eyes to catch the thief and recover the stolen goods, then I will keep these stolen goods here one by one for the prime minister, so as to wait for the honorable driver to pick it up" Xu Yao heard the words and thanked him, while showing gratitude on his face, he secretly laughed in his heart.
This thief shouted to catch the thief, it is strange to be able to catch talents, but that tiger skin has a way to die, Xu Yao can't be embarrassed by this Lu shopkeeper, the king of Hades wants you to die in the third watch, and will not keep you until the fifth watch, this tiger skin is destined to die in this joint, Xu Yao naturally will not make any extraneous branches.
Shopkeeper Lu gave Xu Yao some coils, so he called the servant to send him, Xu Yao saw this and said goodbye: "I don't have a lot of luggage, even if I am alone, I can go as much as I can, I don't have to work this little brother, the green mountains do not change, the green water flows for a long time, Mr. Lu, we will have a period later" The shopkeeper Lu immediately set up wine with Xu Yao, and drank all the wine, and then separated.
is the so-called: Pingshui meets Benqi Road, several farewell intentions, who has grievances, frost and snow on the sword can show you. It is said that Xu Yao said goodbye to the shopkeeper Lu and went out of the city gate of Suzhou, carrying a package on his back, carrying an umbrella, desolate and desolate, and hurrying alone, as if he was really just an ordinary person.
And Xu Yao is not pretending to be a gesture at this time, but has his own reasons. Although he has been in this world for a long time, he has always practiced peacefully under Zhang Weiran's planning, and although there are many hands-on times, most of the time he doesn't need to use his brain.
It wasn't until Xu Yao left Linyi City that he gradually became accustomed to personally participating in things other than cultivation. It's just that after Zhenyue Mountain City rose from the ground at the foot of 100,000 mountains, Xu Yao's identity also rose sharply in the rivers and lakes, and the characters who can be compared with Xu Yao are either the proud sons of heaven who are big factions, or the predecessors who have been famous for a long time on the rivers and lakes.
Most of the people who interact with Xu Yao are also at this level, so while Xu Yao is famous in the rivers and lakes, the starting point of walking the rivers and lakes is also extremely high.
The characters who can get in front of Xu Yao, such as Nangong Qiuling and Fan Haotang, etc., have the same high vision as Xu Yao, and some small things on the rivers and lakes are not eye-catching at all. Where is it like now, not only to find a way for the master of Zhizhou, but also to teach and collect debts.
