Chapter 2 Proverbs
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Changyuan County, Su Bingnan saw an unforgettable scene. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Just next to the county seat, there was a white-bearded old man with a gloomy face who faced five or six nimble sword-wielding men alone.
The old man was dressed in brocade, with a jade pendant clanging around his waist, and his whole body was gorgeously decorated. In these years, even the rivers and lakes are divided into high and low, and this old man has a close relationship with the government at a glance, and it is likely to belong to a local Jianghu force attached to the imperial court.
And those people in the rivers and lakes who are a lot shabby should be regarded as the "children of the poor family" in the rivers and lakes, and the knives in their hands are really sparse and ordinary.
The strength of the old man should be the outer gang in the road of the nine-rank martial artist, as for the few men who wielded the sword vividly, their realm did not even have a name, that is to say, none of them had the strength to transform their strength.
The fight between the two sides can be described as evenly matched, and there was a stalemate for a while.
Suddenly, in the distance, a group of arrogant men and horses rushed to the front, and the leader was dressed in a seahorse supplement and rode on a horse.
As soon as these officers and soldiers saw the fight between these men, they became excited, waved their horses, and indiscriminately rode their horses to kill.
"At the gate of the county seat, how can you allow the rivers and lakes to make a fuss!" the seahorse screamed and shouted at the people who were about to escape.
As soon as he ran not far away, the old man had no time to beg for mercy when he was shot to death by the random arrows released by these dozens of officers and soldiers.
One of the several men rolled his eyes, and took advantage of the interval between the officers and soldiers to release arrows and rolled to the ground, staining the mud with a sound, but if he looked closely, he could see that the precious jade pendant on the waist of the dead old man had disappeared.
However, he didn't have time to rejoice, and the officers and soldiers who immediately rushed rushed up and hacked everyone to death, leaving only a place of blood mixed with dust to drip around.
At this time, looking at the old man, it was really a goose plucking, and the slightly valuable things on his body were quietly gone, and the seahorse supplement showed a satisfied smile on his face.
Su Bingnan looked at all this coldly, in the cruel reality, there is no poetry or fresh clothes and angry horses in the rivers and lakes, only the strength and strength that are extremely cold.
Strong is chivalrous, weak is evil.
The official uniform has the greatest power, and the official government is the representative of justice, and the chivalry outside it is forbidden to violate the ban by force.
"What the hell is going on?" Huang Mo asked in horror, he watched the whole process and was shocked by the chaos here, some people fought at the gate of the county in broad daylight, and some officers and soldiers were indiscriminately killed on the street.
Is this still the Zhongzhou known as the hinterland of the Central Plains?
What happened to Changyuan County?
When Su Bingnan and his entourage entered the city, they clearly felt the strictness everywhere, and many officers and soldiers patrolled around, as if they regarded this place as a battlefield.
There were many people with the atmosphere of rivers and lakes pouring into the city, and most of them were in high spirits, even if they knew that the officers and soldiers here were fierce, they did not leave.
Su Bingnan found that more and more people came to the city, and there was even a tendency to catch up with and surpass the number of officers and soldiers.
There are grievances and disputes where people gather in the rivers and lakes, and you can see the arms fighting not far away on the street, and the casualties of the fight, some of them are just blue noses and swollen faces, and if they really fight the fire, they will have to pay the price of some blood.
By evening, the officers and men were far less arrogant than before, and although they were still the strongest side, no one dared to kill at will in the face of the ever-increasing number of Jianghu people.
Anyone can see the hidden crisis in Changyuan County, which is no better than the Xiao family or any force, and the consequences of this turbulent wave in front of him are unpredictable.
found an inn casually, and Su Bingnan spent a lot of money to make the shopkeeper vacate enough rooms for the night. Su Bingnan has already made up his mind to replenish and rectify today, and leave immediately tomorrow morning after repairing.
Su Bingnan, Wang Tianya, Peng Cheng, and Huang Fan ordered some wine and food in the inn inn, listening to the loud chatter of those Jianghu people.
"Do you know where the Taishang Demon Slayer is in Changyuan County?" said a man in a power suit with wide eyebrows and a broad nose.
A down-and-out swordsman in the corner asked suspiciously, "Why did I hear "Finger Sword" and "Rhubarb Court"?"
One word stirred up a thousand waves, and one person immediately said: "I came in a hurry because of the rumors that there would be flying immortals outside the sky. ”
"You're kidding, aren't you?"
"It's true, not only me, but many of my friends also rushed to Changyuan County because of this news. ”
Everyone discussed, and immediately fell silent.
Why are they all hearing different messages, and which one is true?
Who sent this message, and why?
Everyone sensed that something was wrong, and there was some kind of existence in the secret that led countless people from the rivers and lakes here.
Su Bingnan and his entourage knew that something big might happen.
That night, Su Bingnan, who had his eyes closed, opened his eyes suddenly.
"The golden toad competed for his eyes, but turned the world of Gunzhou against him. ”
There was a voice outside the window, and I don't know where it came from.
When Su Bingnan stood on the roof of the house and looked around, he found that someone was fishing in troubled waters, and a figure was running on the street, saying this sentence repeatedly: "The golden toad is fighting for his eyes, but the world in Zhongzhou is opposed." ”
Many ordinary people were awakened by this remark, and some houses lit oil lamps, which were lit for a moment and then extinguished.
Su Bingnan thought of a sentence in his heart, and the proverb came out, the world was in chaos.
......
That night, a quarrel broke out in Huangjia Village, outside Changyuan County.
"Brother Huang, do you really want to go to Beijing to take the exam?" Zhou Jun, whom Su Bingnan met before, was eagerly speaking to a tall figure of Yue Zhiyuan.
"Brother Huang, why are you so brainless? What if you get fame, it's better to sell salt with everyone. One person also persuaded on the side, his height was not inferior to what he called "Brother Huang".
"Zhou Jun, Wang Chongba, and you don't need to say much, I have made up my mind!" the man said in a deep voice.
"I have made an appointment with Brother Ruan and Brother Chen to go to Beijing together. Huang Mang said to the people around him who wanted to persuade him: "During the time I am leaving, please take care of the villagers in my Huangjia Village." ”
Seeing that Huang Mang had made up his mind, everyone knew that they couldn't stop it, so they nodded helplessly.
Hey, that Mr. Sima in Huangjia Village is really harmful! Everyone couldn't help but have this thought welling up in their hearts.
Mr. Sima is an old Confucian student, eight or nine years ago came to Huangjia Village to open a school, don't look at his age, but his knowledge is not small, even the two famous prodigies near Changyuan County at that time, Ruan Qing and Chen Chichu came to worship him as a teacher.
And Huang Mang, who has always been interested in pen and ink, also admired the old man's knowledge, and was fortunate to be able to worship his disciple and become one of the few three disciples of Mr. Sima.
Huang Mang has been thinking about it since then, and went to the capital twice to take the exam, although they are all named Sun Shan, but in November this year, he still wants to try again.
