Chapter 38: Wrestling with the Parties (5)
Wang Er was dressed in a short blue coat with a few conspicuous patches on it, and a small green cloth hat on his head, he looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, and his eyes were purring, and the scene in the lobby was the most terrifying scene he had ever seen in his life.

"I'm scared to death grandpa, I've heard that the rivers and lakes are dangerous, and the shopkeeper said that he won't intervene in the disputes between the rivers and lakes, but he didn't say that the disputes in the rivers and lakes won't come to the door, although grandpa's life is cheap, but he won't explain it here, right? Look at those fierce and vicious men and the people in the government together, shouldn't they be unruly? Ah, the government is even more vicious than the people in the rivers and lakes! Jianghu people want money and don't want to die, the government is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, Liu San just stole a chicken, and was forced to sell his ancestral house, and sold himself to Liu Yuanwai, heh, how many of these people can end up well?"
Wang Er's mind was full of thoughts flying wildly, but he also looked at the road, and hit a hard thing with one head, the soles of his feet slipped, and his hind feet stepped into the air, and his whole body fell backwards. However, before his whole body could hit the stairs, Wang Er felt his sleeves tighten, and then a strange force pulled him forward.
When Wang Er stood firm, he raised his head, but found that he was a young chivalrous man in front of him, although his appearance was not amazing, but there was something faintly between his eyebrows, although Wang Er didn't understand, but he also felt very powerful. At a second look, behind this young chivalrous guest was an old man in plain clothes, with an expressionless face, frowning white eyebrows, and his eyes were looking towards the lobby on the first floor. After that, it was Peng's shopkeeper who stared at him with a black face.
Wang Er was shocked and frightened in his heart, and was shocked that this young knight who didn't look burly was able to grasp himself steadily, with just the right amount of strength, just to make himself stand firm instead of leaning forward, I was afraid that this guest was a guest of the shopkeeper Peng, and he just bumped into it like this, and if he offended or not, he would not say that he would dislike the shopkeeper Peng, and he was afraid that he would not have a good life in the future.
However, Wang Er's mind turned, and he thought of the officials and people at the bottom, and said bitterly in his heart: "The shopkeeper may not be able to pass this level, but those people at the bottom directly killed those distinguished guests, is it to let himself come up and call the shopkeeper to go down, and then apologize to the shopkeeper?"
"Wang Er, you still don't get out of the way?"
Peng Zhen shouted angrily, although his voice was deliberately suppressed, but Wang Er's legs were still weak, since three years ago, he was praised by Peng's shopkeeper from the outskirts of the city for being "smart", so that he could make a living in the city, Wang Er had never seen Peng's shopkeeper's face blackened like this.
"Yes, yes, the shopkeeper, there is an official ...... downstairs"
Peng Zhen's eyes widened, and even if Wang Erdang shut up, he hurriedly took a few steps back, almost having to fall on his head again. As soon as the corridor passed, Peng Zhen no longer glanced at Wang Er, and after taking a deep breath, he followed Liu Su to the lobby.
"What's bullish? I see, you're almost finished with the surname Peng!"
Although Wang Er never dared to say this sentence, he was extremely happy to say it in his heart.
But even if Wang Er called out at this time, Peng Zhen probably wouldn't do anything to Wang Er, after all, for Peng Zhen, the situation is unclear now, if the murderer is really a person from the Shenmen, then how should he deal with himself?
"Shopkeeper Peng, don't come unharmed. ”
Seeing that Peng Zhen had come downstairs, and there were two people from the rivers and lakes, an old man and a young man, standing in front of him, Zhan Yunqin had a plan in his heart: "Could it be that this Shenmen is really the murderer? If Shenmen colluded with Peng Zhen and bought off the officials and soldiers guarding the city, he would also buy off the informants on the Yamen side...... It's just that, if that's the case, how did this Sikong Gu know all this?"
In addition to a few shivering inn guys in the lobby, there were some diners who didn't know what was going on, and these diners saw those Jianghu people who ate meat and wine fall one by one, and they were so frightened that they didn't calm down until Zhan Yunqin entered the door.
Peng Zhen walked in front of the people, and after catching a glimpse of the "corpses" in the hall with his peripheral vision, he smiled and said:
"Zhan Zhutou, you brought these 'friends' to Peng today, it really made Peng here shine!"
Although this sentence sounds like a normal polite remark, anyone with a little brain and normal eyes present can see that Peng Zhen is gritting his teeth, and that smile is more like eating three or five catties of Coptis chinensis.
"I have to ask the two 'friends' behind the shopkeeper Peng, what good things they did and what sins they did last night at the place where the little brother stayed. ”
As soon as Liu Su saw this young man standing in the crowd with thin cheeks, he had a little doubt in his heart, and when he saw this young man walking out of the crowd, he pointed at himself and Man Hongsha in his clear voice and said, his heart was settled.
"Sikong boy, don't spray people with blood!"
"Hall Master Liu said with a smile, didn't you two come to Jiangning for what you did?"
"Sikong Gu, you said that we attacked you last night, is there any evidence?"
Sikong Gu's eyes moved, and several fierce-eyed men escorted a big man in.
Gong ...... Gong Protector?"
Liu Su's loss of voice gave a reassurance to many doubtful catchers and heroes in the rivers and lakes.
Sikong Gu stretched out his hand and tore off the coarse cloth in his mouth, and a few pieces of broken teeth mixed with blood fell to the ground, and then clicked a few times on his back to untie the acupoint for him. Gong Protector's head was like a hoe in the cultivation of the land, smashing to the ground at once, and he said vague but extremely clear words in his mouth: "Hall Master Liu, Meishan can't stand the Divine Gate...... Master Liu, Meishan can't live with the Divine Gate......"
"You, what nonsense are you talking about?" Liu Su's beard trembled, and the four and a half fingers of his right hand couldn't stop trembling. At this time, Peng Zhen was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and his temperament was indifferent, even a person like Man Hongsha, who was dedicated to martial arts, frowned at this moment.
That person, whether it is Liu Su or Man Hongsha, can't say that he doesn't know him, he is Gong Yuanfeng, the protector of Shenmen Kuntang, and his name is Meishan.
"Hall Master Liu, Meishan can't stand the Shenmen ......"
"Sikong boy, what did you do to him?"
Gong Yuanfeng is burly, although his martial arts are mediocre, but he is born with divine power, he can't help kowtowing at this time, and he even smashes the bluestone bricks in the lobby of this inn.
"It's just a matter of trapping a tiger so that he doesn't hurt anyone. "There are already some crumbs at Sikong Gu's feet.
"Liu ......"
This time, Gong Yuanfeng never raised his head again.
"Gong Protector is really worthy of being a good man, and now he kowtows to make amends to the point of bleeding to death, may Hall Master Liu and the Manchu envoy forgive him. ”
The smile on Sikong Gu's face at this time had completely made Liu Su lose his last trace of calm.
"Sikong Gu, don't you want to hide it from the old man, before Meishan kowtowed, blood was already flowing out of his ears, what medicine did you give him?"
"Zhan Zhutou, is this the case?" Sikong Gu seemed to remember at this time that the protagonist of this scene should be Zhan Yunqin, not his "tender stubble" who had just arrived in Jiangning for a few days.
"You kid didn't tell me his identity, I said that he was just an ordinary spy, and now he is here to put me together, is this forcing me to cooperate with you completely to offend the Divine Gate? ”
Although Zhan Yunqin didn't like Sikong Gu in his heart that he hadn't informed him of all the arrangements, he was already standing on the same side as Sikong Gu at this time, and it was already difficult to ride a tiger, and after taking a last look at Gong Yuanfeng's corpse, he nodded and said: "Exactly, this kid has already explained everything to me, last night your Shenmen and others drugged and stole gold and killed people in the Yunji Inn, killing thirty-seven lives, and stealing a full eighty catties of gold." ”
Between the words, there is a heroic righteousness.
