Chapter 118: A Bloody Case Caused by Gossip

Outside Xilin County, there is a small tea shed, and three small tables are placed in the middle, one of which sits three guests dressed as merchants, drinking tea silently.

At the other table, there were two guests dressed as scholars, who had just sat down, and the tea they ordered had not yet come up, waiting silently.

At the last table sat two men dressed as peasants, one tall and one short, who must have come often, and after a while of greeting the shopkeeper of the tea shed, they sat down and chatted with each other.

"Did you hear that? The Shenlin bandit leader of Xilin County has been caught. ”

The tall farmer said as he drank his tea.

The short farmer was stunned and said in surprise, "Oh?

The tall farmer hurriedly gestured to silence, his face nervous.

"Shh!! don't talk nonsense, be careful of being listened to by Zijinwei's people, and arrest you as a rebel!"

"Do you think you were five years ago? You are still a farmer, and now you are the leader of the god scale bandits in Xilin County, the poison doctor Nong Yulin. ”

The short farmer nervously said, "Oh oh oh, slip of the tongue..."

The two exchanged silent gestures, looked nervously left and right, and saw that the tea guests at the other two tables didn't seem to care about them, so they continued to talk.

"This time, Xilin County has finally stopped, and the Zijin Guards stationed there are finally about to withdraw. ”

"Well, you're wrong, the Zijin Guard of Xilin County is not so easy to withdraw. ”

"Ah, won't they withdraw? Didn't Zijinwei just leave the imperial city to encircle and suppress the Divine Scale Bandits and clear the Quartet?"

"Hey, you're just asking me, asking others, and others can't tell you. ”

"The Zijin Guard in other places is to purge the Divine Scale bandits, but not from our Xilin County. ”

"Our Zijin Wei of Xilin County has other tasks. ”

The tall farmer said mysteriously.

The short farmer asked curiously for a long time, and then the farmer continued: "Let me tell you, our Zijinwei from Xilin County, coming here to clear it is actually just a casual move, and the real purpose of their coming is to find someone. ”

"Huh?!Looking for someone???

"Hey, let me tell you, our Zijin Wei, the one you're looking for... And this one..."

As he spoke, the tall farmer gestured with four fingers, followed by a piano strumming motion.

The short farmer was slightly stunned, didn't understand for a while, and then suddenly realized, and said in surprise: "Ah! You are talking about the fourth princess and the Zheng princess?!"

The tall farmer hurriedly stretched out his hand, covered his mouth, and said again and again: "Be quiet, be quiet! You don't want to die! These two are taboo!"

"Don't look at Emperor Taizu personally ordering the search for the two, but these two are taboo for Zijin Wei and the Holy Martial Emperor!"

......

The two of you chatted with me word by word.

The two scholars at the other table suddenly got up and walked over to the two of them.

"What do you call them?"

One of them asked suddenly.

The two farmers were stunned, as if they didn't expect the scholar to talk to them.

"Uh... My name is Zhang San, and this is my brother Li Si. ”

"Two... What's the matter?"

The tall farmer asked, confused.

The scholar smiled and nodded, and did not reply to Zhang San's words, but continued to ask, "What are the two of you doing?"

"Ahh The two of us are flowery, raising flowers for others in the county town. ”

Zhang San replied honestly, not paying much attention to the fact that the scholar did not answer his question.

"I don't know who you are raising flowers for?"

The scholar continued to ask.

Zhang San and Li looked at each other, and they didn't understand what this scholar was going to do.

"Uh... It is the old man Zhao's house in the county town of Qianzhuang. ”

Zhang San replied honestly.

The scholar nodded slightly, and glanced at his companion, who whispered a few words in his ear.

"Oh, Boss Zhao of Xilin Qianzhuang, the brother-in-law of the county guard?"

The scholar asked with a smile.

Zhang San and Li Si nodded inexplicably.

"Hehehe, good, good. ”

The scholar said with a smile, and as soon as he stepped up his sleeve seemingly casually, a knife light suddenly flashed, cutting off the heads of Zhang San and Li Si.

The shopkeeper was shocked and exclaimed.

The scholar smiled and made a gesture of silence.

"Hehe, don't be afraid, the shopkeeper, we are officials. ”

As he spoke, the scholar took out a token from his bosom and shook it towards the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper of the tea shed looked at it tremblingly, and saw a purple cloud engraved on the token.

"Original... It turned out to be two Purple Gold Guards..."

"Hehe, you don't need to call an adult, shopkeeper, let me ask you, are these Zhang San and Li Si always coming to drink tea?"

The scholar said kindly, looking harmless to humans and animals.

"Back... Back to adult... Be... It's always coming. ”

"The two of them are not far from the front, and every day after work, they will come to me for a cup of tea, sit and chat. ”

The shopkeeper of the tea shed answered honestly.

The scholar smiled and nodded.

"Uh-huh, good, good. ”

The knife flashed again, and another human head fell to the ground.

It didn't take much effort for the three heads to hit the ground, and the three merchants at the other table seemed to be frightened, and turned their heads to look at the scholar, but there was no other reaction.

"Hehe, don't be afraid, the three of us are Zijinwei, these three people are disrespectful, they are regarded as rebellion, we are just acting impartially. ”

The scholar grinned, kicked the heads off the ground, and walked over to the table of the three.

"Three, are you coming to Xilin County for the first time?"

The scholar asked kindly, and one of them looked at the scholar and nodded.

"Hehe, I see. ”

"Xilin County is a good place, the three of you have just arrived, you want to have a good time. ”

"I don't know what the three of them do?"

The scholar spoke kindly, sat down at the table, and looked at the three of them with great interest.

"My lord, we are merchants, just passing by. ”

The man who nodded spoke, sounding unfazed.

"Oh, oh, merchant, why don't you see the goods of the three of them?"

The scholar asked casually.

"It's just small cargo, and you can take it with you. ”

The man replied somewhat casually.

The scholar looked at the person who answered, looking up and down.

"Hehe, take it with you..."

"Could it be that the so-called goods... These two young ladies are you referring to?"

The scholar said with a sudden grin.

He could see that although the three of them were all dressed in the same men's clothes, only the person who answered was a man, and the other two were women.

The man was slightly stunned, then smiled and nodded, not showing much surprise at all.

"Hehe, my lord is really good eyesight, these two are my young lady. ”

This reaction made the scholar a little stunned, he had never seen anyone with this kind of reaction.

The scholar didn't ask any more questions, but looked at the three of them carefully.

Suddenly, a sense of danger arose in my mind.

The scholar changed slightly, clearly saying that the three of them were afraid that he would not be able to provoke him, so he deliberately raised his head and looked out, looked at the sky, then stood up, smiled and hugged his fist to the three of them, and said: "Hehe, it's not too early, I think the three of them are going to set off, so I won't delay the three." ”

As he spoke, the scholar got up and was about to leave.

"Are you leaving, sir?"

"Why don't you stay and have a cup of tea? ”

"My young lady still has some things to ask adults. ”
