In the city of Bianjing.

"Eh, you say, when was the last time you left the house?" Xu Chuan stared at this bustling scenery and asked Yan Tianchen.

"Hmm...... Eight years ago. Yan Tianchen made a thinking gesture and continued to reply, "That was still when my life was down......

"Thank you for remembering it so clearly. Xu Chuan smiled with a "flutter".

Yan Tianchen, who was walking on the side, stopped and made a beating motion, threatening: "Be careful that I beat you." ”

Just as the two were about to scuffle together, a lot of people gathered in front of them, and from time to time there was a groan of pain. The two of them were puzzled, so they walked into the crowd to find out.

"Stop, stop fighting. ”

"This whipping is too much, isn't it?"

"Well, you're not wise, the man in front of you is a thief, and it's a mistake not to teach him a lesson. ”

"Kill him, this man stole a hundred taels of silver from my house the day before yesterday and deceived my wife. ”

"Yes, shoot him, kill him. ”

", damn it. ”

The crowd chattered, as if to drown out the thrashing sound. The two of them looked closely at the beaten man, who had multiple blood marks on his body, his clothes were already in tatters, and his eyes were slightly misty, and he did not dare to open his mouth to defend his actions.

......The whipper began to gasp for breath, and the whip in his hand seemed to lose its strength and fell to the ground without moving.

Finally, a middle-aged woman came out of the crowd, she was very surprised, and seemed to know what the big thing was like.

"Orthodox ......," the middle-aged woman said in a choked voice.

The crowd began to avoid it, and the middle-aged woman walked towards the injured man step by step. He used all his strength to maintain his crumbling body, and said the word "mother".

"Mother, you are finally here, the child still thinks that he will ...... for the rest of his life"

Before he could finish speaking, a crisp and loud slap hit him in the face, which caused everyone to be surprised.

"Mother, why do you want to hit the child?"

"You, you unfilial son, are simply ......"

Things happened so quickly that it was hard to predict the sudden fainting of a middle-aged woman.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? Mother-" The injured man stepped forward to support the middle-aged woman, but he still couldn't resist her fainting and fell to the ground.

"Scattered, scattered. ”

"What an unfilial son, even his own mother fainted in fright. ”

"It's better to stay away from this person. ”

The crowd began to disperse, but it was still satirizing the man's evil deeds.

"I, this ...... It's ......"

"Mother, you finally woke up, it was these two kind-hearted people who helped the child find Lang Zhong and treat you. The man added, "Lang Zhong told you not to get angry and hurt your body. ”

"How can I restrain my anger? You have done such a shameful thing, so that I can have the face to see your dead father. The middle-aged woman tilted her head.

"Let me take the liberty of asking, ...... you" Yan Tianchen seemed to have forgotten something halfway through his words.

"It's called Wang Zhengshi, Wang Zhengshi. Xu Chuan whispered on the side.

"Ah, Wang Zhengshi, have you ever known the ins and outs of this matter?" Yan Tianchen threw out the question in his heart.

"Stealing?" Wang Zhengshi sensed his original intention, so he expounded his thoughts without subtlety, and later said, "Have you ever believed me?"

"I believe it. Yan Tianchen said his own set of words.

Wang Zhengshi smiled bitterly and said, "Then why didn't you two refuse to help me at that time? If I am burdened with a trumped-up crime and suffer from flesh and skin, do you ever understand me?"

"So far, the two of us don't mean anything else. Xu Chuan wanted to defend the matter, but was stopped by Yan Tianchen with his hand.

"Child, you don't have to worry about grievances. Mother just doesn't want you to be embarrassed. The middle-aged woman once again clarified her intentions.

"Mother, the child is really innocent. ”

"I see. ”

Then, their mother and son hugged each other, and Wang Zhengshi also cried loudly.

Outside the house, Yan Tianchen sat on the floor, recalling the whole process of things as if he were meditating.

"No, I still don't have any thoughts. He had an idea and came up with a trick, "It would be a good idea to ask the butcher at the time." ”

"What do you mean by this, you want to get information from the butcher to solve the doubt?" Xu Chuan interpreted his words and asked rhetorically.

"Yes, I'll meet him tomorrow. ”

......

"All the guest officers come to take a look, the pork I sell can be said to be the most unheard of in the entire Bianjing City. When the butcher saw that no one had come to buy it, he roared again in his own voice.

What a group of people with eyes and no beads, the butcher scolded secretly in his heart.

At this moment-

Yan Tianchen in the corner smiled smugly, and beckoned Xu Chuan behind him to step forward together.

After a few moments, the butcher sat down, snatched the scoop and began to gulp the water, and after drinking it, he patted his shoulders as if he was extremely tired.

"Hmm, what do the two guest officers want to buy......?

"It's really presumptuous, the two of us are just here to ask about a small matter, and we won't delay you for too long. Xu Chuan made a smile and rubbed his hands.

"Hey, go away, go away, the poor sour ghost won't stop me from doing business. Seeing this, the butcher got up and threw Xu Chuan to the ground.

"Ah, it hurts......"

"If you don't want me to come here to do business, it's best not to let Lao Tzu see your face. ”

"Uncle, it's not good for you to do this business. Yan Tianchen's hand was on the butcher's right shoulder.

"When will it be your turn to be presumptuous here? Don't get in the way. The butcher was insulting and tried to force them to leave.

"What if I refuse?"

"You're fucking dead!" the butcher quickly snapped his thick arm into his eyeball.

I saw Yan Tianchen bend over quickly, raise his foot and kick at the crotch of his pants!

Syllable!

"Uh-huh...... I'm wrong, I'm wrong. The butcher fell to the ground, and his tone became weak, as if to win the sympathy of the crowd.

Yan Tianchen patted his hands, then approached the butcher and half-squatted down, asking, "I have a question for you." ”

"Don't say one, ten hundred will do, as long as you are willing to let me go...... Ouch......" The butcher clutched his crotch.

"Wang Zhengshi, do you know this person?"

"Isn't he exactly ...... Did I whip the bastard yesterday......"

"Sure enough. ”

"Anyway...... What do you want him to do?" said the butcher, tilting his head, "he is a rotten man, and he is not worth your visit...... Worry about it. ”

"Then do you remember the cause?" asked Yan Tianchen.

"Of course I remember, that bastard...... Zhengshi Xiao'er asked me to buy meat yesterday, so I paid on credit, and returned my meat money later. The butcher stood up, his eyes widening wider, and the veins on his forehead were revealed.

The two were speechless.

The butcher said, "I was kind enough to let him pay on credit, but this bastard actually ...... I actually eat white food!"

Xu Chuan slowly got up and approached, then turned his head and asked, "Tianchen, what did you ask?"

"Wait a minute, the person you just mentioned, are you sure it's him?" Yan Tianchen began to ask.

"Well, God knows what the hell he's messing around, but he seems to be covered with a black cloth at the time. The butcher returned to his stall and said, "That's all I know, go away, and don't disturb me with my business." ”

"Black cloth?" Yan Tianchen muttered quietly.

"Could it be that there is someone else under the black cloth?" Xu Chuan boldly reasoned.

"Maybe just ask around first. He answered Xu Chuan's question.

......

Xu Chuan was tired of lying on the open space on the side of the street, complaining: "No, there is no clue at all." If this continues, it will be almost dark. ”

"Alas, too. ”

The two set off for the bazaar.

"Well, there's a place here that sells fabric velvet. Yan Tianchen pointed out the direction to Xu Chuan with his hand.

Xu Chuan suddenly understood, and said ecstatically: "There is no endless road in the sky, and there is only here within a radius of a few miles where you can obtain items such as cloth. ”

Da Da Da –

After a loud sound of footsteps, the two arrived at the fabric shop.

"Two guest officers, please feel free to take a look. The owner of the Splendid Workshop greeted.

"Fairview. Yan Tianchen looked at the gold-lettered signboard hanging on the fang, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's a black cloth here, and the grade is a little lower." ”

"Owner, excuse me, may I ask if a man came here to buy black cloth strips yesterday?" Xu Chuan asked the owner of the Splendid Workshop.

The owner pursed his lips and said with a smile: "There are more people who come to me, I can't remember much." ”

"Yes. Xu Chuan began to get depressed again.

"Is the guest officer looking for someone?" the owner read Xu Chuan's thoughts.

"Yes, yes, is it okay for you to reveal a little bit?" Xu Chuan asked.

"Unfortunately, I don't know. ”

Xu Chuan was so tired that he sat on the ground again, and said complainingly: "Why is it that the two of us work so hard?"

"Take a sip of water. The owner kindly handed them two cups of water and said with a smile, "It seems that you two are very tired." ”

"Thank you, owner. ”

"How important is this to the two of you?"

"Sort of, sort of. Yan Tianchen drank the water in the cup violently and took another deep breath, "It's also about a person's reputation." ”

"Oh? The owner showed a lot of curiosity.

"Bi'er, are you stealing again?" a man with strong limbs came out of the curtain.

The owner glanced at him, but couldn't help but bow his head and explained: "Husband, you misunderstood, these two guest officials are just here to inquire about strange things. ”

After the couple in front of him discussed with each other for a while, the man walked up to Yan Tianchen and said, "The guest officer was looking for someone, but I misunderstood and took the liberty of it." ”

"It's fine. Yan Tianchen said politely.

"The guest officer is looking for someone, maybe I know a little. The male owner said again.

"Really?"

After some negotiations, the male owner finally remembered a little and said: "If I remember correctly, there was only one man who came to the shop yesterday, and it seems that he is a rich son." ”

"Childe?" Yan Tianchen was very surprised, and actually shouted aloud.

The male owner added: "He has two white jade beads tied around his waist, and there is a more obvious birthmark on his right hand." ”

Yan Tianchen couldn't wait to wake up Xu Chuan, who was sleeping beside him, and pinched his bloated mouth, and said happily: "Fat Xu, get ready to leave." ”

"Ahh......h Yan Tianchen bowed to the two of them, and then took Xu Chuan to ask again.

......

The sky gradually darkened, and then the twilight fell even more like a dead silence, as if the person was firmly trapped inside. The crowd on the streets of Bianjing City also began to thin out, and the dim yellow candlelight in their respective houses gradually shone through.

"You're talking about Qian Sheng, the third son of the Qian family, right?" A passer-by on the street couldn't help but say in the face of inquiry, "Yes, the birthmark on the right hand, the white jade bead on the waist, Qian Sheng himself is good." ”

"And where is he now?"

Passers-by stretched out their fingers and pointed to the tavern not far away, signaling that Qian Sheng had just entered.

"Thank you. Yan Tianchen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and after thanking him, he turned around and ran towards the tavern.

In the tavern, there are few guests, and many huge empty wooden tables are very eye-catching, and Xu Chuan is the only one who stays here.

Squeak –

With a bright knock on the door, the three men entered the tavern. The person in the middle is taller, slightly darker, has a big birthmark on his right hand, and two white jade beads are tied around his waist, which is very childlike, and next to him are two burly men with hideous eyes, like guards.

The shopkeeper hurriedly ran to Qian Sheng, took out the paper respectfully, and asked with a stutter: "Three...... Want to eat some...... What?"

Seeing Qian Sheng's face displeased, a guard beside him took the opportunity to pull up the collar of the shopkeeper and the other person.

"I'm going to play something else. Qian Sheng smiled at the shopkeeper.

"Uh, guest officer...... Can you let me go?" grabbed the guard's stout arm with both hands, trying to persuade him to let go.

Qian Sheng smiled maliciously, shook his hand and motioned for the guards to throw the shopkeeper to the floor.

The shopkeeper was in pain and embarrassment, so he had to reluctantly get up and pat the ash on his pants, and then ran away, and these were all seen by Qian Sheng.

Then, Qian Sheng walked straight to the seat next to Xu Chuan, sat down slowly, and then he put his feet on the wooden table and began to play with his nails.

Xu Chuan swallowed a mouthful of water nervously, and as soon as he wanted to get up and leave this place, he was pressed by the joint efforts of two guards.

"Childe, what are you?" Xu Chuan squeezed out the words from his mouth hard, but his head couldn't move.

"Don't panic, my son is just going to ask you to serve me for a while. Qian Sheng picked at his nails and asked, "You shouldn't refuse this son's kind invitation, right?"

Xu Chuan continued to exert his strength, but he still couldn't move, so he had to ask: "Childe, I have no grievances with you, wouldn't it be a violation of morality to do this today?"

"Hahahaha-" Qian Sheng opened his mouth to laugh, symbolically wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "It's the first time that Ben Gongzi has heard that someone talks about etiquette with Ben Gongzi, it's ridiculous." ”

"Childe, isn't this a good thing?" The hotel shopkeeper walked out of the room after hearing the facts that the shopkeeper said, and questioned the swarthy man in front of him.

"Do you have the courage to argue with me?" Qian Sheng took out a paper fan and stepped forward to weigh it.

"Heh, don't dare, people within a radius of several miles know that you are a famous child of the Qian family, how dare I fight with you?" The hotel shopkeeper saw that the two guards behind Qian Sheng were gearing up, so he had to take a step back.

"Hahahaha, it's easy to say. Qian Sheng fanned the paper fan in his hand, hesitated for a while and said, "Fatty, this son thought about it, if you can kowtow to this son three times on the spot, I will not blame the past, maybe this son is happy, and I can reward you with some small money." ”

"Dare to ask your son's surname?"

"This son is the third son of the Qian family who can point fingers at you, and Qian Sheng is also. Qian Sheng further angered Xu Chuan.

"Damn!" Xu Chuan couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to get up and regain justice, but he was defeated by the two guards again.

"Give the sword to Ben Gongzi, and Ben Gongzi should greet him well. Qian Sheng sharpened his hands, snatched the sword one by one, and placed the tip of the sword above Xu Chuan's ear.

"Despicable villain! Xu Chuan roared.

"Dead fatty, you just tell Lord Yama to go!" As soon as Qian Sheng's words fell, he slashed the sword from above with both hands.

A "plop" sound sounded, and the sword fell to the ground with a "clang" sound.

I saw that Qian Sheng was kicked not far away by a flying kick, and such a huge impact was enough for Qian Sheng to break the wooden table behind him.

Xu Chuan was suspicious: "Tianchen, is it you?"

Yan Tianchen landed on the ground with a backflip after a flying kick, clenched his fists, stared at the two big men in front of him, and said to Qian Sheng on the ground: "Qian Sheng, you didn't let me find it easy." ”

"Phew. Qian Sheng spat out the blood flowing from his mouth, and said in a fierce tone, "Dare to play yin, kill that mother for this son!"

The two guards then rushed towards Yan Tianchen.

With a retreat, he dodged the two deadly fists, only to be knocked to the ground by a sweeping blow from the guard.

"Uh-ahem-" He fell to the ground, coughing.

"Tianchen, I'll help you!" Xu Chuan stood up again, pulled out the wooden stick in the corner of the tavern, and strode towards the guards.

Zheng –

The two guards drew out the iron swords they wore on their bodies and faced Xu Chuan.

"Take advantage of the present. Xu Chuan shouted.
