Text Chapter 24 Xuanzhou City is under martial law, and the monks of Fakong complain bitterly about the past
An officer and soldier outside the gate of Xuanzhou City was listening carefully to the conversation of the ordinary people out of the city at this time.
"Hey, what's the fuss?" the officer was tapped on the shoulder. He looked back and saw that he was a minor leader in the army. He hurriedly said, "Oh, I'm sorry. Is there anything wrong with the captain?"
The man looked around and shouted, "Come here, all of you!" and formed a circle around the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate.
The people waiting in line to enter and leave the city were not happy, and many people shouted: "We still have urgent matters, why do you just leave us alone?"
"Don't make any noise!" the man glared at the crowd: "Whoever makes any more noise, I'll send him to prison!
The boy snorted and whispered to the officers and soldiers: "Have you heard? There is a monk and a beautiful young man who destroyed Jingting Mountain!"
"I was listening to this!" the officer said. Others also said they had heard about it.
"Okay, if you find a similar suspicious character, try to hold it off, don't do it, you must go to Commander Liu, do you hear?" the man said solemnly.
The officer and soldier said, "Captain, I just opened the city gate today!"
"Really, where is it now?"
"It's already in town, and I'm pushing two cars. I remember one is called Shi Qian, and the other is called Xu Qing. β
Suddenly, I heard the sound of neat footsteps and the sound of horses' hooves not far away. When they saw it, Commander Liu was sitting on a horse, carrying a machete, and leading a group of officers and soldiers to inspect.
They hurriedly stepped forward to greet them: "The Lord Commander is above, I will kowtow to you if I am not welcome!" With that, a group of people knelt on the ground and kowtowed their heads.
"Get up. Is there any news?" Commander Liu's face tightened.
"Some people say that when the city gate was just opened today, a monk and a layman went into the city, claiming to be Shi Qian and Xu Qing, and pushing two cars. β
"Are you sure?
A few more officers and soldiers claimed to have seen it, and his face relaxed, as if he had finally survived a great disaster. Commander Liu said excitedly with some gaffe: "Let his subordinates catch him! He must catch him! And the city gate will be closed quickly, and the whole city will be under martial law! Search me door to door! I will see that they can run there!"
After Commander Liu finished speaking, he grinned, shook his head, and shook his body on horseback, full of joy like a poor child who had finally eaten candy, and left with the officers and soldiers behind him.
A group of officers and soldiers were stunned, they had never seen the commander so happy.
"What's wrong with Commander Liu today?" "I don't know, did you take the wrong medicine?" "You just took the wrong medicine, whisper! How can you say that? Be careful to be heard!"
"Don't make any noise, what are you going to do, go and close the gates, if those two run away from you later, who will be responsible?" said the captain, who left.
Not to mention how the officers and soldiers closed the city gates, just talking about the military order of martial law in the whole city, the lively streets suddenly became deserted, and only the galloping cavalry patrolled the streets. There were also groups of officers and soldiers who broke into houses and shops to search, and some dishonest people even took advantage of the chaos to grab some things and molested the wives and daughters of the people.
In this lonely city, there are often cries, shouts, and scolding, and this silence seems to set off the sins of this group of robbers in military uniforms and the misery of the people living under the rule of darkness. No matter how much the winter wind and snow blow, it can't blow away the people's hatred and anger against this group of hooligans......
At this time, Shan Yuliang was sitting on the bed in the store room, wiping the purple electric sword, and when he was wiping, he was also running qigong to enhance his vitality. Fakong was the same, meditating next to him and practicing the Dharma Diamond Sutra. If you want to say that the two of them are the hardest, as long as they have a little time, they will squeeze out to practice martial arts. Otherwise, why would the two of them be able to become the leaders of the martial arts in the future?
At this moment, I felt that the street was slowly becoming quiet, and only the sound of horses' hooves on the street was heard, followed by a noisy and faint noise. Yuliang Fakong stopped exercising and leaned on the window to watch. Fakong said, "Amitabha, what's the matter? Why is it so deserted?"
Shan Yuliang looked carefully, but did not see the officers and soldiers searching: "Strange, where did this noise come from?"
Shan Yuliang shouted: "The second shopkeeper, the second shop!" called for a long time, but no one answered. "Well, what's going on?" he muttered to himself. Yuliang walked out of the door and met a guy head-on, Yuliang asked, "Where is the shopkeeper who is waiting for me in this room?"
"Heβalas, what about people? I don't know where he's gone. I'm sorry. The fellow said, "Have you come to me for something." β
"It's okay, I just wanted to ask why the street was suddenly so quiet and there was crying. What's wrong?"
"That's right, today for some reason, the whole city is under martial law, and the officers and soldiers are also searching. This officer and army also did not do good things, and a search always made the chickens and dogs restless. β
Shan Yuliang nodded and went back to the room.
Yuliang went back to talk to Fakong, and when Fakong heard it, he suddenly shuddered and said, "Brother, I feel that this officer and soldier are searching us!"
"Brother, you're joking. Why are the officials and soldiers searching for us? Because we are doing something in Suzhou City? Not really! Even if we are wanted here, we will not be under martial law in the whole city!"
"No, Yuliang. It's not because of Suzhou, I said it's because we destroyed Jingting Mountain last night. β
"What? Because this is going to arrest us? That's even more wrong! It's too late for them to thank us with heavy gifts! We've done them a good job!"
Fakong smiled bitterly: "Yuliang, although you are witty, you have too little experience after all. Have you ever thought that if you destroy Jingting Mountain, the people in the government will be very unhappy. β
"Why? Why are they upset? We helped them get rid of the thieves who hadn't been killed for years!"
"If they really want to suppress the bandits, can they do it? Those thieves must have bought the government to keep them safe!" Speaking of this, Fakong was very excited: "Do you know? When I didn't enter the Shaolin Temple, my second uncle took me and my cousin Chen Yu to the capital to see my third uncle, but on the way, my second uncle was robbed of our money by a group of thieves because he didn't know martial arts!"
"Why did your second uncle take you, Ling Zun?
Fakong sighed: "At that time, my father had passed away, and I grew up with my second uncle - my father knows martial arts, and so does my third uncle." According to my second uncle, our old Chen family has been a martial arts family for generations, and my second uncle doesn't like to practice martial arts, he is in business. β
"Well, what about later?"
Fakong closed his eyes, recalling the events of that year. Looking at his expression, he seemed to be a little intoxicated, as if he was opening the old wine, and he said slowly: "Later, my second uncle took me and Chen Yu to the yamen to fight a lawsuit and sued the group of thieves. Unexpectedly, the dog officer, not only did not go to catch the thief, but also beat the second uncle severe......ly!
Fakong's face turned hideous at this time, and there were tears in his eyes: "He is on the street, and I watched him freeze and starve to death!"
Fakong wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Yuliang listened quietly beside him, Yuliang felt very uncomfortable in his heart: he had lived in Sect Master Mei's house since he was a child, and he didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, but what about the people living at the bottom?
At this moment, a loud bang was suddenly heard at the door, and a group of officers and soldiers armed with knives and guns broke into the door and broke in, and the one who walked in front was actually the shopkeeper who was waiting for them! Shan Yuliang smiled at Fakong: "Brother, you are right, they are here to find us. β
The two slowly stood up, Yuliang smiled, and two cold lights suddenly appeared in his eyes: "You guys, what are you going to do!"
If you want to know what will happen next, break it down next time!
