33. Into the city 2
Xia Ren and Qiao Qiao got off the horse, and they hesitated for a while.
At this moment, another group of fast horses galloped past them, and the two men turned sideways, their hooves glittering, and they raised dust towards the west gate in the distance.
Soon, the horse was stopped by two swordsmen, and the middle-aged man in the vermilion cotton robe on the horse looked anxious, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous no matter how anxious he was, so he had to hold the reins, dismount and take out a silk bag from his bosom and hand it to the two swordsmen, saying, "My lord, I really have something urgent to enter the city." ”
The knife hand was not polite, and directly turned into the bag, weighed it, and the crisp sound of collision from the bag sounded very pleasant.
"Well, yes, in that case, you can leave!" said the somewhat arrogant swordsman.
"My lord, my son and daughter-in-law are in the city, and they have come to do business legally. The middle-aged man saw that the knife hand had collected the silver taels, and hurriedly said, "I heard the news here, I rushed back from hundreds of miles away, and I hope that the adults will be accommodating." ”
"Business, business, business?" the knife hand's eyes lit up.
"Doing jade trade with the White Frost Pavilion of the Xia family in Red Leaf City. The middle-aged man hurriedly explained.
He raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, and galloped all the way, already extremely tired, but stopped at this time, and was even more hot and bored, with a pleading look on his face.
"The Xia family, one of the six families of Xishan?" the swordsman smiled, turned his head and shouted into the distance with an unkind face, "Boss, there is one who has come to find the Xia family." ”
In front of the tent in the distance, a tall thin man sitting with open legs stood up suddenly, his eyes were as fierce as a vulture, and the essence of it made people unable to look at each other, before he was thrown into the Sichuan Palace, he was a big thief, since he defiled a well-connected lady from a large family, he was hunted down everywhere, and finally fell into the Sichuan Palace.
At that time, under the policy of the national teacher, recruiting people in troubled times only looked at ability.
This thief also has some ability, and soon became a partial general in the army with his martial arts.
But things gather like and people are divided into groups, and the sergeants under him quickly understood the essence of the commander and became a ruffian.
The tall and thin man haha, patted the wooden table beside him and said, "I've been waiting for a long time, and I've finally waited for one! Take it and interrogate!"
He said coldly.
The middle-aged man who came from afar shuddered, and hurriedly bowed from afar: "This general, I'm really..."
The tall and thin man didn't want to listen anymore, let alone pay attention to him, frowned, and said to the knife hand: "When I talk and fart?"
The two strong swordsmen beside the middle-aged man stepped forward with a cruel smile, directly twisted the middle-aged man's arm, and said, "Be careful, don't move, cooperate with our investigation." ”
"No, this lord, I really just came to find my son and daughter-in-law! I heard all the way that Red Leaf City was shrouded in ghost mist, but it has dissipated, so that's why I was in such a hurry..."
"The fog above the Xia family has not dissipated. ”
"Then my son... Isn't it possible to get caught up in it?, my lord, please, let me in!"
"Your son is a piece of ass!" the swordsman said coldly, and then escorted him towards the army.
The middle-aged man twisted his body vigorously, but the knife hand slapped it away, "Be honest!"
"You took my money! If it's not enough, I'm willing to give more!"
The knife hand smiled coldly, suddenly stopped, and said, "Then take it out!"
The middle-aged man trembled and reached into his arms, and fumbled for two silk bags, which he had prepared for some temporary, and there were even some gold ingots in the last one.
The knife hand took it with a smile, he naturally wouldn't swallow the money alone, and then he would hand over most of it to the boss.
Seeing the middle-aged man in front of him, he looked at him expectantly.
The knife hand said impatiently, "Keep walking!"
"Your Excellency... You see..."
The knife hand raised his foot suddenly, kicked the middle-aged man in the stomach heavily, and said coldly: "You have money, don't you?
"It's not..."The middle-aged man sat down with a look of pain between his eyebrows, but he still maintained a little smile, "My lord, it's not..."
Seeing this, the knife hand on the other side smiled, strode forward, raised his foot and stepped on the middle-aged man's abdomen, turned his head to look at the tall and thin man in the distance, and said with a sneer: "Boss, I think there must be something wrong with this person, and I will investigate it in a while! Maybe I can ask something and get a great credit!"
The tall and thin man had a cold expression and said, "First detain him in the No. 3 cage, didn't the person in that cage just die?
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and was about to say more, but he was directly stuffed into his mouth by a foul-smelling rag, twisted his arm, and went away like dragging a livestock.
In the distance, a sudden cold wind from the canyon blew open the hoods of the two of them, and the green silk spread out, and the face of the ancient house doll was as delicate as porcelain.
In the wind, the black silk skirt staggered, revealing the thighs tightly wrapped by soot stockings, and the tightness of the legs without gaps at the base of the legs made people reverie.
And Xia Ren obviously saw the scene of the dispute between the soldier and the middle-aged man here, and couldn't help frowning, and his eyes inadvertently happened to meet the aggressive gaze of the tall and thin man.
The tall and thin man suddenly showed a cruel smile, he stretched his arms, clenched his fists, and ordered to both sides: "There are two suspicious people over there, go and bring them over, and I will interrogate them myself." ”
Several swordsmen nodded respectfully, but then lowered their heads and showed a strange smile: "Boss, that little girl looks pretty good!"
"You're not blind yet!"
"No, sir, could this be an adult's..."The Blademan hesitated.
"Come, come!" the tall and thin man snapped his fingers and motioned for his men to bow their heads.
The knife hand smiled and bent down, and the tall and thin man patted him on the shoulder and said, "Boy, I'll teach you to be a good man!" Look at people first and look at their looks, if they are really those big people, they should be a little arrogant, maybe introverted, but they will not be afraid of us and others.
Those flattering and haha are all little people who ask for us, such characters are desperate to slaughter and strip off the value.
And the two boys over there, with a calm face and a look of wind and dust on their bodies, obviously came from afar, such people are generally disciples of which sect in the rivers and lakes, but look at this dress, this momentum, at most an elite disciple. ”
"Which of these sects will offend the moldy head of our Sichuan Mansion for the sake of their disciples? What's more, I will ask questions later, and then I will see before I start. ”
The tall and thin man smiled: "The birds have faded out of the past few days, and today I finally saw someone with some looks, and you still don't want to open the meat?"
He kicked the knife hand in front of him in the ass and scolded, "Take someone with you! ”
"Yes, yes, yes, the chief is wise. The swordsman hawed away, beckoned, and four or five people followed him and strode towards the two men in the distance.
Seeing the few people who came with unkind faces, Xia Ren was stunned for a moment, and then grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
