Volume 1 The Sword Enters the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 13 That was once a legend
Fang Yan slowly threw away the sword in his hand and raised his hands high.
He could clearly feel the heavy breathing of the boy and the chill coming from his neck.
"Fang Dutou, if you want to live, don't move. ”
The young man's face was weak, but his eyes were full of hideousness.
"It seems that it is a miscalculation. Fang Yan smiled: "Even if you kill me, what can you do, you can't leave." ”
The young man's voice was hoarse: "There are people on Huangquan Road to accompany you, so you won't be too lonely." ”
More than 100 eyes looked at the young man neatly, the swords and guns in his hands were murderous, and the arrows on the strings were ready to fire.
The boy walked and retreated, and the strength in his hand became more and more powerful.
The officers and men pressed forward step by step, and before they knew it, they had reached the riverbank.
The young man's eyes twitched, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
"There are mountains and rivers, but it is a good place to bury bones. ”
The boy's voice grew lower, word by word.
"Fang Dutou, let's meet underground. ”
"You dare to mess around!" , The gray mouse snapped, and the figure rushed forward, but it was still a step slow.
Two dazzling cold flashes, and the boy and Fang Yan jumped and fell into the river.
A puff of red smoke rose from the riverside, obscuring everyone's view.
The water is raging and turbulent. By the time the smoke cleared, the two were gone, leaving only a trail of blood on the shore.
"What are you doing in a daze? Go downstream to save people!"
A group of officers and soldiers came back to their senses and rushed to the lower reaches of the river.
The gray mouse walked at the back of the line, relieved.
On this day, the newly appointed county magistrate was overjoyed.
The remnants of the Beast Head Gang were all surrounded and suppressed, and the core force, including the helmsman and many elders, were also buried in the mountain.
A pendant was found on one of the bodies, not unlike the one left at the scene of the bloody crime on a rainy night.
The two major murder cases were solved one after another, and an uproar was set off in Longtan County. The people blocked the gate of the county government one after another, begging to see Fang Dutou.
The young county lord had a headache, and the news from the mountains was not only good news, but also the news that Fang Yan had died in the line of duty.
More than 100 officers and soldiers searched along the river for half a day, and the government sent two teams to accompany them. Finally, before sunset, a trace of the dialect was found, but unfortunately it was a bloody corpse.
According to the recollection of a small officer and soldier, they searched for half a day without success, but found two bodies in a muddy field. The corpse was bloated by the river blisters, and the flesh and blood on the face were blurred, but judging from the shape and attire, there was no doubt that he was a young man.
The next day, the mourning music in Longtan County shook the sky, and the yellow paper and white silk on the street could be seen everywhere.
The people held banners high and sent them off with tears. The young county magistrate barely managed to squeeze out two tears and also mixed in with the crowd.
This patrol head who died in the line of duty, this model of punishing adultery and eliminating evil, will definitely be written into the county chronicles, passed down through the ages, and remembered.
At this moment, in a remote private room on the second floor of the teahouse, two masked figures sat opposite each other, looking at the bustling crowd outside the window.
One of them smiled and said slowly, "It's really a big show." ”
There was a hoarse laugh from the other side.
"So what, it's just for the living. ”
One picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Fang Dutou, I didn't expect you to be so popular. ”
The other put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Don't be sarcastic, you say, if they knew that the murderer was sitting in the teahouse at the moment, how would they react?"
The young man smiled: "You say, if they knew that the patrol head was secretly colluding with the murderer, how would they react?"
Both of them laughed silently, and their thoughts drifted back to the inn that day.
"The gray rat has entered the city. ”
"How do you know?"
"I'm the head of the patrol. ”
The young man smiled: "Fang Dutou, I want to do business with you." ”
"Heh, baby, do you have enough money to do business with me?"
The young man looked relaxed: "No more, no less, one life." ”
Fang Yan smiled: "What good do I have?"
"Give you the freedom you want. ”
Fang Yan was stunned, and his eyes shook slightly.
Fang Dutou, open the skylight and say something bright. Will your current status end well?"
Fang Yan looked out the window and did not make a sound.
"Now both sides are fighting for that thing, and it's a game of death. The young man paused: "Even if you can get away with this time, it is difficult to do it, you have to hide and hide for a lifetime." ”
The dialect finally spoke: "How do you guess my identity." ”
"In the county Ya bloody case, you are the most deserving person to be killed by the Beast Head Gang. ”
"That's all?"
"With your means, how could you end the beast head gang lair but not be able to catch half of the figure. ”
Fang Yan looked back, looking at the young man's gaze a little complicated.
"You don't have to look at me like that, even what I can guess, how can the government not know. As for why it was so smooth, I'm afraid only you know. ”
"Oh, freedom, you are a child who is not yet an adult, what do you do to fight them? ”
The young man did not refute, and dipped his tea in the table and wrote a few strokes.
"Fang Dutou, do you say that a dead person will still be restrained?", the young man smiled again: "If it is a hero who deserves to die, what should it be?"
The dialect was silent for a long time, and a smile spread across his face.
"How can I help you?"
"Accompany me in the play. ”
"What if I lose it?"
"I'll accompany you on the Huangquan Road. The corners of the young man's mouth raised slightly: "What's more, I never make a loss-making business." ”
The pedestrians on the street gradually dispersed, and a few mournful sounds could be faintly heard.
The young man stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Fang Yan's eyes, and most of the tea in the cup was already cold.
"Fang Dutou, what do you want?"
"Oh, it feels like a dream. ”
"It's much better to be light and light than if you live in the middle all day. ”
Fang Yan nodded, and suddenly felt that something was not quite right.
"You kid, you're making fun of me again. ”
The young man smiled: "I'm still curious, why your death can be so easily concealed from the government." ”
"I have been in the county government for more than ten years, and who doesn't have a few henchmen. ”
"You sent someone to make the pendant, and the two substitutes in the mud. ”
The dialect lifted the teapot and filled it with a full cup.
"The two death row inmates who have just been executed in the prison have put a lot of effort into dressing up. ”
Fang Yan touched the scar on his neck as he spoke, and scolded with a smile: "You kid is really ruthless, if it weren't for the blood bag in the middle, I would have cut off three points of my head." ”
The young man suddenly remembered that shyness on his face, and the smile on his face grew.
"Fang Dutou, which is worse than you and the gray mouse?"
Fang Yan laughed and said: "It's hard for him, where are the others?"
"Brother Barbarian, they are still in the mountains, I told him to go and deliver a message first. The young man turned his head and asked, "Fang Dutou-"
saw Fang Yan waved his hand and said with a smile: "If we call it like this for a few more days, the two of us will definitely be kidnapped." ”
"I'm a few years older than you, if you don't mind, let's call Brother Fang. ”
The young man nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Brother Fang, you really don't know what that thing looks like?"
Fang Yan shook his head slowly: "The instructions given to me by the Beast Head Gang are to supervise the movements of the official government, and the secret orders issued in Qingzhou are even more vague. ”
"The old gang leader of the beast head gang treats me kindly, but Lin Bald disregards his old man's last wishes, bullying men and women over the years, and doing all the bad things. ”
Fang Yan seemed to suddenly remember something, and slowly spoke: "Lin Bald befriended a big man in Qingzhou, but he never refused to reveal his identity to me. Fortunately, we did enough superficial work this time, otherwise we would have been in trouble. ”
The boy suddenly remembered the sloppy old man.
"Qingzhou is related to your life experience, the water is deep, and you should be more careful. ”
"Brother Fang, Qingzhou, what kind of place is it?"
"A holy place in the eyes of the people of the rivers and lakes, a place where wind and clouds gather. ”
Fang Yan's expression gradually became blurred, and there was a trace of yearning in his eyes.
"Many years ago, it was a legend. ”
