Chapter 9 The waves are calm and the wind is calm, and the soldiers are defeated
A heavy night shrouded the county seat of Poyang. The inhabitants of the small town have always had the habit of going to bed early, and by this time the streets have been washed away from the prosperity of the day, and have become empty and deserted. The yellow leaves on the branches of the street seem to be unable to withstand the bleakness of this autumn night, and swirl down in the breeze. There were occasionally a few dog barks in the distance, which made Poyang City exceptionally quiet on this autumn night.
The cold moon is silent, and the night is blurry.
It's just that just like a cow chewing a peony, some people turn a blind eye to such a romantic and miserable autumn street night. I saw that at the corner of Naxilin Street, there were two sneaky figures, under the cover of night, anxiously waiting for the victim to be sent to the door.
These two little thieves are Xingyan and Juying. The two of them had just finished singing a play "Catch and Release Cao" on Poyang Lake, and before they had time to take off their makeup, they rushed to the only way for Lu County Master to go home, ready to repeat his old tricks. The amorous thief on the canopy just now was this Zhang Xingyan who had a rough voice, and the "virtuous brother" in his mouth was the little girl who reluctantly made a cameo appearance.
Chen Kui, who has just dealt with the strong outside, it stands to reason that this time he should be familiar with the road. It's just that this time the crime environment has been changed to the streets of the county seat, and you have to watch out for nearby residents and pedestrians, not like Poyang Lake, where there is no one to do it. So the two of them were even more nervous than before.
"Why can't this Lu Lao'er come over? Won't you be going to stay overnight at the 'Shuihu Literary Society' today?"
Xingyan looked at Ju Ying, who began to shrink a little in the autumn wind, and couldn't help but be secretly anxious, if the heart goes on like this, no one will be caught, and the next one will be sick here. However, it shouldn't be so unlucky, because according to the information he obtained, even if Lu Lao'er was reluctant, he would never dare not return at night. Wake up and cheer herself up, and at the same time let Ju Ying hide in the corner of the street to avoid the wind.
Just when these two righteous men who saw the unevenness on the road were waiting a little panicked, finally, in everyone's expectations, the other protagonist of this play, Master Lu Chonghuang, the lord of Poyang County, stomped slowly and logically in all directions, swaying from the side of the street.
Xingyan hurriedly signaled to Ju Ying, and then disappeared into the darkness together.
☆#★*!~☆#*★!!!
What happened to Master Lu next was basically the same as his loyal subordinates just now, but there were slight differences in details. Master Lu was being fed a mouthful of rags that were not very tasty, and he couldn't shout, and he was honestly taken to a secluded place.
It's just that Lu Lao'er should be glad that the thief who acts as the main force clearly realizes that he can't control his strength well, looking at the body bones of Master Lu and the autumn tree on the side of the street, he said in his heart that although he has been able to "lift weights like light", but he has not yet reached the situation of "lifting lightly like weight", for fear that if he punches down, this Lu County Lord will lose his surname on the spot.
As a result, Old County Master Lu has always lacked the physique to exercise, but he was lucky to avoid the pain of a meal of flesh and skin. It's just that this bump is inevitable.
In fact, what these two reckless young people didn't know was that not far behind Old Man Lu, there was also a young entourage. Because Xingyan and Ju Ying were both nervous, and the moonlight was relatively dim, they only stared at the main master, and they didn't notice the follower for a while, and the young entourage, because of the suddenness of the incident, didn't react at once.
Just as he was about to exclaim in surprise, he had already fallen softly. Right at the back of his head, there was a fist the size of a vinegar bowl!
The young man who thought he had a plan was still unconscious, but he didn't know that he had almost come to a catastrophe just now!
All of this was done as quickly as a marquee, and if anyone saw it, they would think that a shadow puppet show was going on there.
What happened after that was similar to the one on Poyang Lake just now. Old County Master Lu, who has always been accustomed to giving speeches to others, had to accept an unforgettable lecture. There is no flattery that you are used to, but it is full of lawless ridicule and intimidation.
This time, they adjusted their rhetoric and portrayed themselves as thieves who fell on the grass on the big lonely mountain, and the love relationship between Xingyan and the girl who sold medicine also changed from love at first sight full of loopholes to a childhood sweetheart who married at his fingertips. After all, this Lu Lao'er is no better than Chen Kui's stupid man, and he may see a flaw if he doesn't notice it.
The eloquent speech finally ended in a cold sweat from Lu County. Ending with a terrifying threat, the two uninvited guests left him and walked away.
After struggling for a long time, Lu County Ye struggled to extricate himself from the cheap sack that Xingyan had cut for half a day to buy. The sticky cold sweat on his body, the cool evening breeze on the autumn street, and the unprecedented panic and torment he had just experienced, Master Lu only felt extremely uncomfortable physically and mentally.
After settling for a while, he staggered to find his entourage, and after waking up, he helped each other and staggered away in the direction of Lu Fu. The frightened young man did not know what had happened to his lord just now, and just by looking at his dejected look, the clever young man knew that he should remain silent at this time.
The night road is long, and there is no word all the way.
On the surface, Lu Xianye, who seemed to be calm, but listened to more speeches than Chang Sui, set off turbulent waves in his heart. For the first time in his life, he realized that the lord of a county, who thought he was invincible, was so weak and incompetent when he encountered a strong beam on the side of the road. Thinking about what I did in the past, it was like being drunk as a head, and I couldn't help but sweat coldly!
At this time, he suddenly realized that everyone respected him and feared him because of his official position and royal law—although he often did not take this royal law seriously, but once there were strong people who despised this royal law like him, he was no different from those untouchables who were often oppressed and slaughtered by others under these strong methods. And he could be so unscrupulous and invincible before, often relying on his wife, who is the sister of the state guard, often cleaning up the mess for him, otherwise he would have been knocked to the ground by the powerful tycoons in the officialdom without the help of the bandits.
After eating this frightened, the old county master Lu became extremely sober at this moment. It turns out that the married wife in the family, who often respects and stays away, is the one who truly loves and protects herself. Thinking of this, Master Lu Chonghuang and Lu couldn't help but speed up his pace and walked towards the home where someone was waiting for him to go back.
As soon as she entered the house, Mrs. Lu saw that her husband was so embarrassed, and she exclaimed in surprise, and she didn't care about blaming him for returning late, but hurriedly asked him what happened. Master Lu didn't answer, grabbed his wife, and called out tremblingly: "Lady!" But he found that his wife was already full of hair, and his heart was full of mixed feelings. Precisely:
Chang Kan sighs, the snow dyes the clouds, the frost and the apricot face, and the face of Zhu Yan is not returned.
Tsubaki Lao Xuan is declining, only afraid of rain and wind.
But I only hope that there will be no damage and no injury, so why should we worry about you......
How many people have no sleep this night.
Let's say that Xingyan and Ju Ying finished these two illegal things, and ran all the way back to the inn, thinking that they were ghosts and sneaked into the guest room unconsciously. When they arrived in the room, these two people were also in shock like Chen Bantou and Lu Xianye, who were taken aback. After a long while, the two of them realized that their legs were a little uncontrollable, trembling non-stop, and they couldn't tell if it was because of nervousness, fear, excitement, or whether their legs cramped from the night's tossing.
"It's back!"
"Well, it's back!"
Both of their voices trembled a little, but they both saw joy in each other's eyes. No matter what the result is, I finally did my best and came back safely!
In fact, in the eyes of the old and serious adults, the method of hijacking Shangguan and coercing people to release people is really inconsiderate, and there are many risks and inappropriateness. If they were to do so, they would not dare to act so rashly under any circumstances, and they would have repeatedly considered the delay, and would never act so recklessly.
But because the young man in the market didn't know the height of the sky, the little girl didn't know what it meant to be afraid, but she felt that the plan was seamless and interesting, and she could teach the bad guys a lesson, so she was busy but Xingyan was looking forward. The so-called "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers", these two reckless children said that they would do it, and they actually divided it by two in three times, and they did it in one night.
Although the smooth sailing of this night has something to do with Xingyan's fairly well-thought-out plan, and there may be a master who passes by shopping in the dark to help, but it still makes people have to admire their luck and courage. In many cases, this is the case, and the clearer the so-called wise man is about to anticipate the difficulties, the more likely he is to be afraid to start, and thus he can only never achieve anything. However, those reckless men who do not understand the hardships ahead, because of ignorance and fearlessness, recklessly do what they say, no matter what difficulties and setbacks they will encounter in the process, but in the end they get things done.
There is little gossip, and it is said that the two of them have just tossed so many things, but they are not sleepy at all. Ju Ying didn't return to her room, so she lowered her voice with Xingyan and reviewed Fang Cai's actions on Twitter. The more the two young men talked, the more excited they became, and as a result, they couldn't sleep.
So, Xingyan ridiculed Ju Ying's voice as a thief was too milky, and blamed her for changing the line of "throwing it to feed Wang Ba" to "throwing it to feed the lake god", which is nondescript. Ju Ying laughed at Xingyan's performance of the amorous thief who was too hot, and laughed at him for being so sincere and sincere that he really wanted his daughter-in-law - he was so embarrassed that Xingyan shouted that he was wronged, and tried his best to confess, and insisted that his words were all heard from the guests of Daoxianglou......
The two young people, who didn't know what it was like to be worried, tossed until the rooster sang, and then they went their separate ways.
The second said that it was not until the third pole that he woke up to get dressed and washed, and then went to see if Ju Ying had gotten up, but he happened to meet the coachman of Ju Ying's house in the corridor. The coachman said goodbye to Xingyan, and then seemed to inadvertently mention that the father and daughter who were arrested on Wanghu Street yesterday had been released.
Xingyan was overjoyed when he heard the news, and he couldn't hold back and waited for Ju Ying to get up, and then quickly told her the good news. Ju Ying was also very happy after hearing this, it seems that the two "catch and release Cao" last night played a role, and the hard work of the night was not in vain!
Let's skip the two young people's "bullet crown celebration" and not mention it, not to mention that Lu Chonghuang and Lu County Master rushed to the county office early in the morning, and was circling in the study, thinking hard about how to find a way to say goodbye to Chen Kui and release him. It was said that Cao Kui and Cao Gang arrived, but they heard Chen Kui and Chen Bantou outside the door asking to see him.
"This guy is coming early!"
But just as he was about to look for him, Lu Xianye hurriedly returned to the Nanmu chair and sat upright, and then called him in.
At this time, Lu Xianye had already made up his mind in his heart, although in the past, when Chen Bantou caught a woman with a lot of beauty, he had no reason to let it go like a cat seeing a fishy woman, but this time he had to force him to let go no matter what, because the terrifying words of the two thieves last night were still in his ears. If this Chen team leader really didn't know each other, he would have to use this grade to press him. It's just best not to tear your face, after all, Chen Kui knows all about the bad things in his past.
Glancing at Chen Kui who was coming in, Lu Xianye suddenly had a plan in his heart, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then coughed, starting from the metaphysics he was best at, gushing endlessly, paving the way for the final hint that Chen Kui would release people.
It's a pity that this charming eye was made for the blind man to see, and he didn't expect that Chen Kui's heart was like ten thousand claws scratching his heart, and he was anxious!
I rushed over early in the morning to ask the master to release him, but he was regarded by Lu Xianye as a fellow of the Water Lake Society, and the big chase of yin, yang, yang and yang made Chen Daban's head dizzy. Just as he couldn't stop saying yes, this Chen Kui suddenly remembered the fierce methods of the two thieves last night, especially the warning to release people on time before noon, and he was suddenly terrified, and he couldn't bother the Qingxing of Master Lu, who was talking about it, and intercepted the words and interjected:
"Lord Lu, the little one has an urgent matter!"
"Oh, what's the matter?"
was interrupted by the long foreshadowing that was being carefully constructed, and Lu Xianye was really unhappy in his heart, but at this time, it was inconvenient to attack, so he tried his best to let Chen Kui come slowly.
"Master Lu, do you think you can release the father and daughter that the villain arrested at noon yesterday?"
"Poof!"
Tea squirted out of Lu County's mouth!
Suddenly, seeing the old man's strange expression, Chen Kui was busy, and hurriedly told the words that he had prepared for a sleepless night last night in the most sincere and humble tone, arguing that he had made a mistake yesterday against the father and daughter. Chen Kui first made a painful review of his dereliction of duty, and finally said that in order to make up for his work mistakes, he took the initiative to deduct the ransom money for the release of the father and daughter from his salary as punishment for his negligence.
County Master Lu resisted the urge to hug the head of the Chen Ban and kiss him, and expressed his appreciation for his subordinates' courage in admitting their mistakes in a gentle tone that was in line with the identity of the county lord, and hoped that he had better correct this mistake as soon as possible, and quickly let the two father and daughter go. And in view of the fact that Chen Bantou has always been diligent and fair, Master Lu, who has always been fair, will never deduct Chen Bantou's salary this time because of his small mistakes.
The head of the Chen team, who fully realized the difficulty of this matter in advance, did not expect that this Master Lu would be so easy to talk today. It turned out that the tragic decision was to desperately break the fortune and snatch food from this old official Lu who loved money like his life, but he didn't think that he didn't know what wind was blowing today, and the county lord happily allowed the release without much speech. I really can't imagine that this Lu County Lord, who has always "split meat on the legs of herons and oil in the belly of mosquitoes", has such an incorruptible and ancient side.
"Did you misunderstand him before? In any case, last night's danger and today's smooth sailing seem to be his sincere prayers that have been heard by the Bodhisattva, and he has always been able to turn evil into good fortune. After this is done, I have to hurry to the old man's temple to make a vow, and send the big pig's head promised last night to the Bodhisattva as soon as possible!"
Chen Kui and Chen Bantou were thinking about themselves, and this Lu Chonghuang and Master Lu were also secretly happy. Somehow, he didn't usually notice it, but the more he looked at Chen Bantou's blue nose and swollen face today, the more cute he felt.
It was not until this time that the old county lord Lu, who had always been restless, found that his subordinates' faces were blue and purple, as if he had opened a dyeing workshop, so he hurriedly and cordially asked this loyal subordinate what had happened.
"Well, this little injury is a small one, and I poured the foot wash water last night, but it was slippery in the dark that day, and my foot slipped and fell, and I knocked on my face......"
"Oh, then Chen Bantou should pay attention to his feet in the future. ”
"Thank you for your concern, my subordinates will pay attention in the future!
"Huh, sir, your face ......"
It turned out that at this time, Chen Bantou also noticed that there were also a few blood marks on the face of Master Lu in front of him.
"This ...... Actually, last night I saw that the kitten in your mother's arms was upset, so I wanted to grab it and throw it out the door. But unexpectedly, he was scratched a few times by that beast!"
"Oh, sir, you have to be careful in the future. ”
These two people are each pregnant with ghosts, and neither of them pays attention to the fault in each other's words.
"Master, if you're all right, the little one will retire! ”
It was Chen Bantou who was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he had no intention of staying.
"Let go of !! as soon as possible"
