Chapter 9: The Bloody Case in Cangfu
On the second day, I arrived in Cangzhou City, the Central Plains Dart Bureau did not have a semicolon in Cangzhou, and all the goods to the door were sent in pairs, I and the Persian Mingjiao group, the Black Wind Village and Liu Qingfeng were the other group, and Yang Jiaoxi was in the middle of the dispatch.
Two hundred sets of four books and five classics, according to the address of the dart, is a great Confucian surnamed Cangzhou in Cangzhou City. According to Liu Qingfeng, this man was a local strange man, and it is rumored that when he was born, all the well water in Cangzhou City was empty, so his father named him Cangjing Kong.
When I came to Cangfu with the Persian Mingjiao, I saw that the gate was closed, so I went up and knocked on the door. Knock! Knock!
Don't knock, there's no one at home. So who are you. I'm not human. Hurry up, open the door, and receive the delivery.
Don't come to this set, check the water meter yesterday, send the express today, Teacher Cang was beaten like this by you, are you still ghosted?
Persian Mingjiao said that the two of us were the executioners of the Central Plains Dart Bureau, and they were entrusted by the Zhonghua Book Company to send 200 sets of four books and five classics. Please come out and sign for it.
After a moment, a small hole was opened through the side door, and he glanced out to make sure that no one was there, and then opened the door. Forgive me, two brothers, the enemy has come to the door in the past two days, and we have to be careful.
It was a ten-year-old Confucian who opened the door, and let us go to the gatehouse to drink tea, and Persian taught us to be a mouthful, but I don't know what kind of powerful people you provoked, and you were forced to be like this.
The two of them didn't know that yesterday there were two people from the rivers and lakes, one old and one young, who came to our house, and without saying a word, they went to the study to turn over the scriptures, and after a long time, they inexplicably beat our teacher Cang and a few students. They rely on their martial arts to be strong, and they deceive people too much!
Is it an old man and a girl in black? Exactly! I said, it seems that the ghosts of these two people are not gone. At this moment, the old man and the girl in black appeared in the mansion again. Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, the two of you came just in time, I have to settle last night's account with you. I pulled the Persian Mingjiao and helped me teach her a lesson.
Persian Mingjiao looked at the short knife in the hand of the woman in black, it turned out to be you two, I should have recognized you yesterday. The woman in black said, "Oh, I really didn't expect that someone from the Murong family would go out and be an executioner."
The Persian Ming Sect said that what I do is my freedom, but you robbed our dart yesterday, and you have to give an explanation. It's just a broken book, and I'll give it back to you. After that, I threw it over, and I took it and looked at it, no, there was a page missing.
The woman in black said, boy, that page is too heavy, your martial arts, you will be crushed to death if you hold it in your hand. Do you say, Mr. Cang?
Cangjing Kong came out with his disciples, girl, this matter involves the people of the world, I hope you are chivalrous and ruin.
I said what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and help grab the dart, the woman in black said, Murong, you dare, according to the Fangshan Convention signed by our eight families, you must not interfere in this matter.
The Persian Mingjiao looked at me, I am inconvenient to meddle in this matter, and my brother can not help. However, surnamed Jia, I strongly condemn and protest your actions last night, and deeply regret your robbery.
Who is this little girl, I asked Persian Mingjiao. She is the third lady of the Jia family, named Jia Ziguan. Jia Baoyu's Jia, Wan Ziliang's Zi, and Wan'er's smiling Guan.
I sneered, after the Daming dictionary simplified the cursive character to "艹", I no longer dared to use the word "Wan'er Yixiao".
Jia Ziguan was furious, you dare to insult me, look at the move. Then he swung his short knife and slashed at me.
Slow, I'll just say this, don't work hard, a book, go back to the capital, I'll buy you one set, no, ten sets. I said while hiding, if you don't help me again, I will be cut into meat slices by this chick, do you want to make hot pot at night?
The Persian Mingjiao jumped into the battle circle to help me block the offensive, and I took the opportunity to come out. This is a good brother, this girl, you will teach you a lesson. Jia Ziguan was furious, I want to kill you. The Persian Ming sect separated her, saying, enough trouble, this is the end.
Yes, yes, that's it. Why don't I have lunch, I said cheekily. Hmph, who scarce your stinky rice. Murong, I look at your face and spare this kid's life.
Third uncle, you take that piece of paper and go to the study with Mr. Cang. Several disciples immediately became vigilant, and the old man said, It's okay, I won't do it today, and he carried Cangjing to the study as he spoke.
A stick of incense, the two came out, the empty surface between the wells was like ashes, the old man also staggered, looking extremely flustered, holding a letter and a piece of paper in his hand, I asked, ah...... But he saw two arrows pass through his chest, and a black shadow flashed around him, snatching the paper letter and leaving. Looking at the empty space again, it has run out of breath.
I left Cangfu with Persian Mingjiao and returned to the inn, and Persian Mingjiao told me that this woman was the third lady of the Jia family in the Eight Great Families, ranked in the top six of the young talents list of the rivers and lakes, and was also one of the four beauties of the rivers and lakes.
I said that this woman is also beautiful, but she is not enough to become one of the four beauties. Persian Mingjiao said that I am a turtle, and this year, none of those who can enter the TOP10 or the stunning list have strong strength and background. Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng does this list, and his income is 350,000 taels a year, and there is no money to open the way, do you think you can enter the list by virtue of being beautiful or having high martial arts?
I explained how to teach you martial arts than her, Persian Mingjiao said arrogantly, if you use all your strength, she can't go under my hands for ten moves. Then why didn't you make it to the list, Mingjiao sneered, this list is just a joke for the world's martial arts to watch. Not to mention the talent list, it is Guo Xiaotian, who ranks first on the list of masters in the rivers and lakes, and he can't count the teeth that can be beaten all over the ground by our family.
According to the rules of the Central Plains Dart Bureau, we have to stay in Cangzhou for three days, these three days, we pick up some darts back to the capital in Cangzhou Mansion, stay for three days, no matter how many darts, we will return to Beijing as scheduled.
Liu Qingfeng happily returned, threw me two taels of silver, and told me that I would make a small profit by selling books. The Persian religion says that you can earn this kind of money, and you are not afraid of retribution. A full man doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry, and I have to pay the rent for the next season when I go back, and if you don't lack money, of course you don't know the preciousness of money.
Yang Jiaoxi has not returned from visiting friends, Liu Qingfeng said that he estimates that he has an old friend here, and his wife is in charge of her at home, so he will come to see her while he is leaving, and he will not come back at night. Black Wind Village said, that can't be. Why, in the afternoon, I saw Yang Jiaoxi pouring out all the money in the money bag, and it was only one hundred and eighty wen, and he couldn't even afford to drink a meal of wine.
What are you guys chewing on the root of your tongue? Yang Jiaoxi came in with his hands behind his back, and Liu Qingfeng hurriedly said, We were discussing just now, should we invite Yang Jiaoxi to have a drink in the evening.
Yang Jiaoxi said that we are darts, the three major * disciplines and eight points of attention you have forgotten, you must not drink. Dinner is gone, I still have something to do. Qingfeng, your sister-in-law has been strict recently, I am a little tight on money, I heard that you have made a fortune this time, lend me some silver, and wait to return you back to Beijing.
Liu Qingfeng said, this is not a matter, Yang Jiaoxi, who is with whom, how much, what, five taels, can it be less? Are you trying to redeem yourself?
After Yang Jiaoxi left, he said to the three of us, you see what's going on, I made a little money, and I haven't covered it in my arms, and it's all astigmatism. I said, Yang Jiaoxi asked you to borrow money to cultivate you, and it is estimated that you will be evaluated at the end of the year, and you will be able to promote the assistant of the dart master.
Liu Qingfeng is right to think about it, it's not my brother who blew it, the four of us, if there is an assistant dart master, it must be me. I asked why. Think about it, Heifeng Village is too honest, your martial arts are half a catty and eight taels with me, but you are not as good as my education and background.
What about Persian Mingjiao?
Persian Mingjiao, although the martial arts are high, but the temper is too stinky. Ouch, look, I'll just talk about it, I really don't say it, the gentleman doesn't move his mouth, don't mention it, at the end of the year, I will be dealt with by the dart master, I will definitely not rob you. Liu Qingfeng ran out and said loudly, it's strange if I don't rob you!
I said that Persian Ming taught you to be too impulsive, and he said that you didn't find Liu Qingfeng's urine that was not beaten. I was annoyed when I saw him, and I wanted to beat him.
In the early morning of the next day, Liu Qingfeng rushed in from outside and said loudly, something happened, last night Cangjingkong's family of thirteen people was wiped out, ah, more than 20 lives.
Didn't you say thirteen mouthfuls? Liu Qingfeng snorted, and there were four dogs, two cows, and five chickens, adding up to more than twenty lives. I don't know what enemies I provoked, it is said that they were all killed with one sword, and the six doors have already intervened. Would you like to check it out?
Yang Jiaoxi said that when we go out to dart, we must first stay away from right and wrong, and no one is allowed to go. We packed our bags and headed back to Beijing at noon.
