Chapter Seventy-Eight: Understanding the Rules

The flames rose into the sky next to the inn. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Thick smoke billowed with a foul smell that made people want to vomit.

"Gone. ”

Li Xiuyuan waited for the fire to be extinguished, and it was already dark at this moment, so he ordered the guards to continue on their way.

The guards extinguished the embers, carried the boxes, prepared the carriages and horses, and soon the group continued to set off for Wangchuan Mountain.

In fact, Wangchuan Mountain is not far away, but there was some delay on the road, and it was not fast to walk with the carriage, so it dragged on for several days.

"Eldest young master, that scholar named Wang Ping is still unconscious, should we leave him in the post station? This scholar has a lot of, and even the evil ghost wants to save him, and the little one thinks that it will be a trouble if he is brought with him. Tie Shan asked on horseback at this time.

"No, take him with you, wake him up when you are about to reach Wangchuan Mountain, although Wang Ping is a dull scholar, but after all, his heart is not bad. Li Xiuyuan said.

Tie Shan answered and walked away, instructing the guards to put Wang Ping in the carriage.

The journey was uneventful.

By noon, everyone could already see the mountains in the distance.

"Young Master, Wangchuan Mountain is just ahead. One of the guards said.

Li Xiuyuan nodded: "By the way, how happened to Li Zhong who was injured yesterday." ”

"Back to the eldest young master, after Li Zhong vomited yesterday, there was no danger to his life, but he was cut a bloody wound on his back by the evil ghost, although the wound was sewn up and bandaged, but the injury was still not light, and now the high fever does not go away, and the little one is a little worried that Li Zhong will not be able to survive. The guard said.

"Hurry up to Wangchuan Mountain, there is a doctor there who can help him heal. Li Xiuyuan said.

It was at this time.

Suddenly, more than a dozen riders on the mountain road in the distance rushed towards here.

The guards subconsciously became vigilant.

Tie Shan opened his mouth at this time: "Young Master, it's Wu Fei, Han Meng, and they are our people. ”

Li Xiuyuan nodded, telling everyone to let down their vigilance.

"Huh~!"

More than a dozen horsemen quickly galloped over, led by a bald man named Wu Fei, with a vicious face, which made people daunting.

A few days ago, it was this person who led people to rush into the county office of Guobei County, and killed the Liu County Order with one sword.

"The eldest young master, why did you only come now, the little one thought that something happened to the eldest young master on the road, so he sent several people to investigate, and only today did he find out the whereabouts of the eldest young master and others. Wu Fei touched his bald head and grinned.

Li Xiuyuan said: "I encountered a little trivial matter on the road and delayed it, how is my father, it's okay." ”

Wu Fei hesitated for a moment and said, "The master is fine, he is recuperating in Wangchuan Mountain, but the master's injury has deteriorated a little." ”

"Isn't there a doctor on the mountain?" Li Xiuyuan suddenly frowned.

Han Meng next to him said: "The doctor is not skilled, and he can't cure the master." ”

"It seems that I have to go to Guobei County to find that Dr. Fan. ”

Li Xiuyuan said: "But I have to see what my father's injury is before I draw conclusions." ”

The crowd nodded.

Li Xiuyuan said again: "By the way, there is a sleeping scholar in my car, I met him passing by, Wu Fei, play the wicked for a while, drive him away, I came to redeem people this time, this play must be performed completely, so as not to leak the news." ”

"Young Master, there is no one around here, it is better to kill the scholar with a knife, so there is no possibility of revealing the news. Wu Fei touched his bald head and smiled a little.

Li Xiuyuan glared at him: "Others have no grievances with us, how can we take other people's lives casually, before I killed that Liu County Order, it was because the corrupt official was greedy and wanted to put my Li family in a pot, so I made this decision, okay, stop talking nonsense, go and do your thing." ”

"Okay, young master. Wu Fei answered, and walked to the side of the carriage with a few evil-looking men.

"Little brother, wake up, wake up. ”

Wu Fei grinned, holding the back of the cold knife and patting Wang Ping's face.

Wang Ping came to his senses dimly: "God, it's dawn..... Hey, who are you?"

Seeing a steel knife dangling in front of him, he suddenly fell asleep in shock, and almost jumped up in fright.

"Lao Tzu Wu Fei, the robber of Wangchuan Mountain, you have been robbed. Wu Fei smiled viciously.

"Robbers?"

Wang Ping was frightened and suddenly turned pale, and immediately thought of something, hurriedly covered his face with his sleeves, and then hurriedly said: "Understand, understand, understand." ”

"What do you kid know?" Wu Fei said.

"Your wanted robbers are the most taboo to show their faces, and if they see you, they will kill them, and this rule is understood. ”

Wang Ping trembled and said: "I don't look at your face, don't kill me, I'm a poor scholar, I don't have much money, only a dozen taels of silver pressed into silver cakes and put in my shoes, you all take it, take it, I don't want a penny." ”

"Damn, put the money in your shoes, you don't stink, Lao Tzu is not rare for you a few stinky money, I still have a big deal to do here, you poor scholar get out of Lao Tzu." Wu Fei scolded, and then kicked to let this Wang Ping get out.

Wang Ping covered his face with his sleeves and hurriedly fled.

But halfway through, he ran back.

"Why are you back again, poor scholar? Wu Fei said angrily.

"Li Gongzi of Guobei County has a life-saving grace with Zaixia, he is a good man, and he also asks this robber brother to let him go, and Zai Xia is willing to give you all the money hidden in his belt. Wang Ping covered his face and untied his belt.

"You scholar dare to deceive Lao Tzu, it seems that you don't want to live anymore. Wu Fei was furious and pretended to kill him.

Wang Ping trembled with fright, and he couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but smile and shook his head, this Wang Ping is indeed a little kind and righteous, and he actually thought of himself at this time.

But for now, he didn't want Wang Ping to stay here.

Immediately, he glanced at it.

Han Meng next to him suddenly realized, took a bag of horse food, put it directly on Wang Ping's head, and then knocked him unconscious with one palm

"He's going to Guo Beicheng to test Xiucai, put him near Guo Beicheng and come back. Li Xiuyuan said.

"Yes, young master. ”

Han Meng immediately beckoned a man, took the fainted Wang Ping with him, and then rode away quickly on a fast horse.

"Hey, young master, this scholar is an alternative, he can't scare him, and he dares to come back. Wu Fei said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "It's not that he can't be scared, on the contrary, he is already scared and almost fainted, just because he is a scholar and has morality in his heart, even if he is at the moment of life and death, he doesn't want to lose this morality, now I understand why this Wang Ping will meet a ghost and not die." ”

This kind of reader is destined to have shelter in the dark and will not die so easily.

This kind of shelter can be said to be blessed, virtuous, virtuous, and so on.

In the world of Liaozhai, there is karma everywhere, and good and evil are rewarded.

There are small evils and small good, big evils and great good.

It's just that this order of retribution for good and evil can last, how long can it last?

Nobody knows.

"Let's go, go up to Kawayama. ”

After Li Xiuyuan saw him leaving, he commanded again.

The Wangchuan Mountains are extremely large, with undulating mountains stretching along a large river.

The top of Wangchuan Mountain occupied by Wu Fei is a mountain peak near the official road, because the grass fell here very early, so it also built a cottage, took root, and settled down.

However, because of the refuge in the Li family, there was no business to cut the path, and most of the brothers entered the dart game and became dart masters, leaving only some family wives and children to live in Wangchuan Mountain.

It's not so much a robber as a village chief.

It's just that the news in ancient times was blocked, and Wu Fei had taken refuge in the Li family for several years, and people in this vicinity still thought that Wu Fei was a robber.

And Li Xiuyuan also intentionally or unintentionally asked Wu Fei to maintain the identity of this robber, maybe it will come in handy one day.

"Wu Fei, you have been in Wangchuan Mountain all these years, and you can be regarded as a little more famous, why didn't you attract the soldiers of the imperial court to suppress you. On the way, Li Xiuyuan asked.

"Hey, the eldest young master doesn't know, where did this Wangchuan Mountain come from, when I robbed the caravan before, I said that I would send soldiers to kill me, but what happened later, those merchants spent money and dredged up the relationship, but when the soldiers were finally dispatched, they couldn't get together a hundred people, and they were all some old, weak, sick and disabled, where could those soldiers suppress the bandits, if they came, they were afraid that they would be suppressed by me. ”

Wu Fei said this, a little proud.

"To tell the truth, the soldiers in this court are not enough to support themselves, and some soldiers who do not have some filial piety still need to rely on their wives to make up for it, but any man who has a little ability will not be a soldier, to be a guard, to be a dart master, isn't it happier than this?"

"Besides, even if you don't want to, you can get a lot of money if you go to arrest the thieves for the six doors of the imperial court. ”
