Chapter 14: The Woman Who Played the Drum
After Ruan Xiaodong finished talking about Sha Lang's story, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. He was sad for his senior brother's departure, sad for the death of his amiable senior sister, and sad for his two years of desperate work, but in the end his family was still ruined. The past events made this first-class killer at the peak of his killer career, but he broke off the idea of continuing to fight in this trip, and strengthened his idea of following his senior brother to join the army.
Ruan Xiaodong rubbed his cheeks fiercely, glanced at Ruo Fei with a little red eyes, and said, "I have decided to go to the Zhenxi Army to join my senior brother, but I don't know what my brother thinks?"
Ruofei thought for a while and replied: "Since you and I are brothers, the eldest brother wants to go to the army, and the younger brother will also go to the army!
Ruan Xiaodong said with a smile: "Brother don't have to worry about this, first, with my eldest brother under my cover, you will not be wronged in the army, and second, you are still young, and it is not too late to learn martial arts from scratch." When you get to the army, my brother and I will teach you martial arts from scratch. Isn't that good?"
When Ruofei heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "This is very good!"
The two of them finished talking, looked at each other, laughed, and then went west hand in hand and went straight to the border!
In fact, the real reason why Ruofei also wants to go to the army is that he has just arrived in this world and does not know everything in this world, and now with such a big brother, he can save himself a lot of trouble. As for the grandfather and sister in the real Ruofei family, although he had this information in his memory, as Xiuyuan, he was not familiar with it, so he didn't want to disturb those two relatives.
In fact, Ruofei didn't think right. He is not familiar with his grandfather and sister, but his grandfather and sister are very familiar with him. He is afraid of disturbing his relatives, but since he is a relative, when have his relatives ever been afraid of being disturbed?
Just when Ruo Fei followed Ruan Xiaodong to the border pass, in the county seat of Yanbei County and in the surrounding countryside, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman was pursing her stubborn little mouth tightly, and was looking for a stupid child named Ruo Fei everywhere.
In the county government of Yanbei County, a warrior dressed in brocade was sitting in front of the county commander Pang Dehai.
The samurai's expression was serious, murderous, and he asked coldly, "Are you sure that fool is really dead?"
Pang Dehai smiled and said: "My lord, you also went to my cell just now, and that night it was indeed on fire. The fire also burned several of my prisoners to death. As for the fool named Ruofei you mentioned, he is indeed on the list of prisoners who were burned to death. Your Excellency, you are from Dragon City, give me another 200 guts, and I will not dare to deceive you. ”
The warrior glanced at Pang Dehai, sneered, and said, "Forgive me for not daring! ”
Pang Dehai nodded in agreement, and then called two officials to carry out an almost charred corpse from the morgue. And looking at the size of the corpse, it is indeed about the same size as Ruofei.
After watching the brocade-clothed warrior and a few of his subordinates casually stuff the corpse into a sack and throw it into a carriage to take it away, Pang Dehai secretly wiped the cold sweat on his head, and couldn't help but rejoice in his heart.
Thanks to the fact that when the prison was set on fire that night, Ruo Fei was delayed for a few minutes when he went back to the backyard to find his belongings, and this delay really burned several prisoners to death. It was precisely because of the corpses of those prisoners that he was able to hand over the difference today.
When he let go of Ruo Fei and Ruan Xiaodong, he also felt pity in his heart for a while, but he never expected that the thin young man he let go of who killed Ge Fatzi was actually the person asked by a certain noble person in Dragon City!
Although Pang Dehai looks honest, he is actually very shrewd, not to mention anything else, just the brocade-clothed warrior who came to dignitaries, he knew at a glance that it was a large internal samurai, a full-time armed force dedicated to protecting the Tu Long royal family.
For Pang Dehai, if he knew from the beginning that the kid he let go of was actually wanted by a nobleman in Dragon City, even if he was killed, he wouldn't dare to let him go. But now that he has been released, he has come to ask for someone, but he can never say that he has released it himself, so he has come to steal the beam and replace it with the corpses of other prisoners in the prison. That's what fooled you through.
It's just that what makes Pang Dehai puzzled is that the brocade-clothed warrior kept claiming that the young man was a fool, but he was not stupid when he looked at the young man's words and deeds.
Pang Dehai saw that the brocade-clothed warrior was walking away, and hurriedly called several officials and cell heads who knew about him stealing beams and changing pillars to the lobby.
Just when Pang Dehai unified his voice, suddenly, the sound of drumming came to mind outside the county yamen!
This is also the official rule of this world.
When Pang Dehai heard the drumming, he knew that someone had come to file a grievance, so he rubbed his temples, cleared up his somewhat swollen head, and then ordered the officials around him: "Take the drummer to the court!"
When the officials got the order, they took action one after another, leading people to lead people, and ascending to the church.
Soon, a young woman was brought into the hall.
This woman, with a pair of almond eyes and a delicate face, is dressed in cloth, but she is clean and neat, especially the tight little mouth, revealing a stubbornness.
Pang Dehai was curious when he saw that it was a young woman who had brought him up, so he slapped the wood on the hall and asked sharply: "This little woman, I don't know what grievances you have? Why are you beating the drum? Come quickly and truthfully!"
The woman saluted Pang Dehai in the hall, and then said: "Lord County Order, the little woman is beating the drum today, not for anything else, but my younger brother has been missing for a few days, and I have been looking for a few days, but I still can't see anyone alive or dead. ”
The grievances that the woman said, between the words, couldn't help choking and crying, it was really pear blossoms with rain, even the rough old men in this hall couldn't help but have compassion in their hearts.
After listening to the woman's account, Pang Dehai asked again: "Since Brother Ling is missing, the county order should indeed help you find it." I just don't know, what is your brother's surname, and how does he look?"
Pang Dehai paused for a moment, and then said, "What is your surname, and where do you live?"
When the woman heard this, she hurriedly replied: "The little girl's surname is Ruo, her name is Lin, and she is from this county. My brother's name is Ruofei, he is fifteen years old, and he is a fool. ”
What? Ruo Fei again? That stupid boy again? Pang Dehai was shocked.
The woman in front of her is surnamed Ruo, and his younger brother is naturally surnamed Ruo. And the nobleman in Longcheng who is looking for Ruofei seems to be the person of the Tulong royal family, and the surname of the dragon royal family is Ruo, and he should also be surnamed Ruo. A nobleman with the surname Ruo is looking for a fool with the surname Ruo, and it seems that he still wants the life of that fool. This, there seems to be some secret in this that cannot be disclosed, well, it should be a secret of the royal family.
Pang Dehai's brain was racing rapidly, and he thought of the core of the problem in an instant.
Thinking of this, Pang Dehai couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart about the dead Ge Tengfei. This old miscellaneous was actually contaminated with the secret affairs of this royal family, and this carelessness even stirred up my Pang Dehai.
In all fairness, Pang Dehai, the county magistrate of Yanbei County, is not a bad person, but he is cautious by nature, and he has always taken the motto of Mingzhe as a protector, and he never wants to be involved in the secret royal family affairs. It's just that he didn't expect that he was confused that day, and he had a kind heart and let Na Ruofei go, but he accidentally got involved in this royal family affair.
But no matter how much I complain in my heart, I have to deal with this matter now. Pang Dehai glanced at the official beside him, and then said to Ruolin in a warm voice: "You said your younger brother, this county order has remembered something. You should have heard of my prison being on fire the other day, right?"
Ruolin nodded and said, "The little woman has indeed heard of it." ”
Pang Dehai added: "On the night when the prison caught fire, several prisoners were burned to death. And one of these prisoners is named Ruofei!"
