Chapter 47: What is Jianghu IV
In the fenced inn, Xie Kun left the fenced inn with Qian Baimo after talking about the basic common sense of the rivers and lakes, and walked a little 100 meters in diameter before coming to an unmanned counter with a banner with the word "ticket", Xie Kun didn't care and directly picked up the small hammer on the table and hit the small bronze bell next to him a few times.
"It's coming, it's coming. As the bronze bell fell, a middle-aged man in disheveled clothes hurriedly walked out of the alley behind the counter, waiting for the man to come to the counter, put a small leather bag on the back of his waist on the table, and said impatiently: "Where are you going, guest officer?" ”
"Tickets to the city, bring me two. ”
"Two coins for a total of 5 copper coins. The middle-aged man said and looked into the alley from time to time, and when Xie Kun saw this, he directly took out five copper coins from his belt and put them in front of the counter.
"Thank you, and I wish you a smooth journey. After the middle-aged man said a perfunctory polite word, he put away the copper coin, took out two paper cards from the small leather bag and threw them on the counter, then picked up the small leather bag and ran into the alley in a hurry. Xie Kun picked up the paper card in front of the counter as usual, and led Qian Baimo to the grass shed with the word "Yi" flag again.
When the two came to the grass shed, Qian Baimo saw a carriage parked in the grass shed at this time, and a big man was checking the paper cards for more than a dozen people next to the carriage, and Xie Kun led Qian Baimo to the back of the crowd.
Soon it was Xie Kun's turn, and after taking Xie Kun's ticket and looking at it, Dahan said with a brutal and impatient face, "You are the ticket for the next carriage." He threw the paper card back to Xie Kun, Xie Kun saw this palm flipped, and the paper card that fell in mid-air took off and returned to Xie Kun's hand without wind, and then Xie Kun took Qian Baimo away after arching his hand to the big man.
"Phew. Just as Xie Kun turned to leave, Dahan spat in the direction of Xie Kun, and Xie Kun led Qian Baimo in the direction of the original beggar as if he didn't know.
At this time, the beggar was happily eating a sip of wine and a sip of roast chicken, Xie Kun threw 5 copper coins into the bowl and asked, "Linglong Jade Sword Shu Niangzi has also arrived in Yuyang City?"
The beggar didn't speak, but just used chicken bones to write five characters on the sand next to him and erased them, Xie Kun then threw five copper coins into the bowl, and then the beggar wrote the word "yes" with chicken bones and erased them.
"Thank you. As soon as Xie Kun bowed his hand, he led Qian Baimo to a secluded place to wait for the carriage.
At this time, Qian Baimo was already full of questions and looked like a curious baby, Xie Kun sat down and pulled Qian Baimo and said with a smile: "The ticket check just now is deliberately causing trouble, this is a kind of rules in the rivers and lakes, it is used to test the people in the rivers and lakes who want to enter the city, if you can't help but have a quarrel or dispute with the big man, someone will immediately come out to teach you the rules, even if you can win the person who teaches you the rules, you will not be able to move an inch after entering the city, and you will be stunned with sweat medicine, and then all your belongings, Loot your clothes and throw them on the street to humiliate them, or if you waste your hands and feet, you will practice so that everyone can understand the fate of violating the rules of this rainy city. ”
Although Xie Kun said casually, Qian Baimo's face couldn't help but turn pale when he listened, "These people in the rivers and lakes are so lawless, so Uncle Xie can only endure just now to say that he understands the rules of Yuyang City?"
"Huh. Xie Kun stroked Qian Baimo's hair with a smile and said: "Can the law and discipline restrain the evil heart of the wicked? If there is no evil person in charge, how can we deter the reckless evil heart of the rivers and lakes, knowing that there is still law and discipline in this world?"
"Fight evil with evil, and abide by the law with evil?" Qian Baimo, who understood the truth at once, couldn't help but show pity in his eyes and said: "But Uncle Xie, fighting evil with evil, can you really stop the disputes in the rivers and lakes and return the world to clarity?"
"Of course not. Xie Kun pressed his hands on Qian Baimo's shoulders, looked at Qian Baimo's eyes with anticipation and hope, and said, "But Uncle Xie believes that in the future, the young master will definitely be able to find a way to change this river and lake to fight evil with evil." ”
"Well, don't worry, Uncle Xie. I will definitely not forget your hopes for Grandpa, Second Uncle Yue, Uncle Xie and Uncle Xiao. Looking at Qian Baimo's resolute and sincere face, Xie Kun couldn't help but hug him and rub him.
"Okay, Uncle Xie, my hair is messed up. After being caught by Xie Kun, Qian Baimo hurriedly broke free of Xie Kun's hands, and asked with a small mouth while tidying up his children's bun: "Who is that exquisite jade sword Shu lady? Is it Uncle Xie, is your old man good?"
"At a young age, do you know what it means to be a good old man?" Xie Kun said while laughing and pinching Qian Baimo's little face: "This is just a trick, that beggar is sitting there not only selling all kinds of information, but also observing and monitoring the people in and out of the city. After we went to the weapon shop to buy the sword, this beggar should have already known that we were Lu Youren and Mo Youwu of the Yunshan Sect, and if we didn't inquire about something here, someone would follow us after we entered the city, so in order to avoid causing unforeseen trouble, I deliberately let the beggar think that we were here to find Shu Niangzi. ”
"Oh. Qian Baimo broke free of Xie Kun's hands again, pouted and continued to ask unwillingly: "But you haven't said whether that Shu Niangzi is your old friend." ”
"You. Xie Kun smiled and gave Qian Baimo a violent forehead before saying: " This exquisite jade sword Shu Niangzi, formerly known as Shu Xiao, is the daughter of the famous god Shu Fang in the three southeastern counties, when she was young, she studied and practiced in the Liuyue School of Tianhai County, this Liuyue School was originally a sect of the old school, but I don't know that the whole Shu Xiao was mixed with the only new school, and shouted every day to be the same woman as Jin Jingying, which had to make Shu Xiao just turn 18 years old, and was directly driven out of the sect by the Liuyue faction under the pretext of practicing to succeed, but since ancient times, there has been no example of a woman being a head catcher in the official office, so Shu Xiao changed her name to Shu Niangzi and undertook various cases privately. ”
"Isn't that the same as a detective hunter?"
"Well, the two are pretty much the same. Xie Kun nodded and said, "In addition to asking Shu Niangzi to avoid being followed, I also happened to want to inquire from Shu Niangzi about the detection of a bloody case twenty years ago. ”
"The bloody case twenty years ago?" Hearing this, Qian Baimo instantly stared at Xie Kun with excitement on his face, as if he had discovered some big secret, which made Xie Kun couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, so he had to cough lightly and give Qian Baimo a shudder before saying: " What are you thinking about, this is what your second uncle Yue confessed, saying that the bloody case twenty years ago involved a magic knife that has been passed down for two or three hundred years, and your second uncle Yue thinks that this magic knife should be used as a town item in your new cultivation circle, so let me take the opportunity to take you on a tour of the rivers and lakes to see if I can find this magic knife. ”
"Oh. Qian Baimo, who was covering his forehead, heard that it was not the bloody, explosive, and gossip bloody case related to Xie Kun that he imagined, and instantly lost interest in listening to Xie Kun's specific content of the bloody case, and turned his head boredly to look around.
"You kid. Seeing this, Xie Kun also shook his head angrily and funny, stood up and patted the dust on his buttocks and said, "Okay, I'll show you if there are any snacks and sweets around here." After speaking, he took Qian Baimo and wandered around.
