Chapter Eighty-Four: The Aftermath of Old Li Tou
Zhao Wuyan heard Liu Neng's exclamation, and hurriedly walked over to check. I saw that in the heart of the man in black who attacked him, there was a knife inserted in it. Only then did Zhao Wuyan understand why the man in black attacked him just now, and when he was about to succeed, he suddenly fell from the air and died. It seems that someone with a high level saved his life in secret. If it weren't for Liu Neng to open the body of the man in black, Zhao Wuyan would still be puzzled by the sudden death of the man in black.
Zhao Wuyan looked around, but did not find where the benefactor who saved his life was hiding. So, Zhao Wuyan clasped his fists in the air and said loudly: "Excuse me, who saved Zai's life?
The little fat man hiding in the shadows, when he heard Zhao Wuyan's question, felt that if he didn't come out, he would be too little of a friend. So, the little fat man coughed twice and walked out slowly.
When the little fat man first came out, Liu Neng and the others looked at him very vigilantly, holding the sword tightly in their hands. This can't be blamed on Liu Neng and them, after all, they don't know the little fat man, and no one knows if the little fat man will suddenly get into trouble.
When Zhao Wuyan saw the little fat man, he was stunned and said, "Brother Zhu, why are you?"
The little fat man smiled and said, "I also happened to be passing by." ”
The little fat man didn't lie, he did happen to pass by here because of official business.
Zhao Wuyan pointed to the flying knife on the black-clothed masked man and asked, "You saved me just now?"
The little fat man's face was a little unnatural at the moment, and he said embarrassedly: "Brother Zhao, I didn't work hard and didn't jump out at that time, I hope you don't blame me." ”
When Zhao Wuyan heard that it was the little fat man who launched the flying knife to save himself, he laughed and said: "Brother, you saved my life, it's too late for me to thank you, how can I blame you!" Zhao Wuyan saw the little fat man's clothes clearly at this time, and said puzzledly: "Brother, are you on an errand in the official mansion?"
The little fat man nodded and said, "Well, I'll do fast fishing in Lianyun Mansion." ”
"That's it!" Zhao Wuyan suddenly realized and said, "I'm just going to Lianyun City to do something, let's go together!"
The little fat man was also very happy when he heard Zhao Wuyan say this. Because of that folding fan, the little fat man had a strong interest in Zhao Wuyan's identity. Now that you are walking together, you may be able to see some clues from Zhao Wuyan. So, the little fat man nodded and said happily, "Okay, okay!" The little fat man turned his face to see the dead corpses on the ground, and said gloomily: "But, what to do with these dead corpses?"
Zhao Wuyan said to Liu Neng, who had returned from checking: "Liu Neng, is there anything else on the ground that is not dead?"
Liu Neng's face didn't seem to be very good, and after listening to Zhao Wuyan's question, he replied: "Back to the master, we came with fifteen people this time, and ten people died." The rest of the people, each with their own injuries. Seventeen people died on the other side, and when the injured man in black fled, he might not be willing to tie his hands and commit suicide by seppuku. ”
When Zhao Wuyan heard this, he was also moved, and said, "What is the origin of these black-clothed people, and why are they so vicious?"
Liu Neng shook his head and said, "The villains don't know where they come from, but one thing is certain, they are not our Tianhua people." ”
Zhao Wuyan seemed to be talking to himself: "It turned out to be a person from Fanbang!" Listening to his tone, he seemed to understand something. However, he didn't say it, and no one dared to ask.
Zhao Wuyan said lightly: "Let's go back with Brother Zhu, as for these dead brothers, after we return to the city, we will find someone to handle the aftermath." ”
"Yes!" Liu Neng and the others agreed, supported each other and supported the injured, followed the little fat man, and found Jin Buyan and Li Goudan all the way.
Liu Neng and the others watched Ao Xiao Fat bring a few people, these people were covered in blood, and one of them was particularly seriously injured. Liu Neng looked a little surprised, he pulled the little fat man and asked, "Little fatty, what's going on with these people?"
This kind of thing can't be explained clearly for a while. So, the little fat man said: "They are my acquaintances, and today on the road, they encountered some bandits robbing them. After a lot of fighting, everyone finally beat off the strongman. Now, they want to go back to Lianyun City with us. ”
Jin Buyan realized something and said, "That's the case!"
The little fat man saw that Liu Da was seriously injured, so he let him ride his horse. Jin Buyan and Li Goudan saw that the little fat man had given up their mounts, and the two of them were naturally not embarrassed to stand by. So, they also gave up their horses and mules. After Zhao Wuyan and the others thanked them, this group of people walked towards Lianyun City together.
I don't know if this group of black-clothed people has been afraid, and they have returned to Lianyun City all the way, and they have not encountered any obstacles. When they entered the city, the soldiers guarding the gate saw that Zhao Wuyan and the others were covered in blood, and their appearance was very suspicious, so they stopped and interrogated. Liu Neng walked over, I don't know what to take out from his waist, and after the two gatekeepers saw it, they immediately became respectful, and they didn't dare to put one, so they let Liu Neng and others enter the city.
As soon as they entered the city, a large crowd gathered around them. When these people saw Zhao Wuyan, they called Zhao Wuyan as the "master" and asked if there was anything wrong. When it was clear that everything was okay, the group breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Wuyan came to reinforce the troops, so he broke up with the little fat man, and the horses and mules were also returned to the little fat man. Then, Zhao Wuyan said to the little fat man: "Brother Zhu, the green mountains do not change, the green water will flow for a long time, and there will be a period in the future!" After speaking, Zhao Wuyan left in a hurry with people, thinking that he was in a hurry to treat Zhao Da and the others.
After Zhao Wuyan and the others disappeared, the little fat man suddenly remembered that he was going to return Zhao Wuyan's folding fan, but because of the unexpected situation just now, he forgot everything. The little fat man sighed, and could only wait for the next time they met, and then return it to him. At this time, the little fat man suddenly remembered that he still had official business. So, the little fat man, Jin Buran, and Li Goudan hurried to the yamen.
When he arrived at the Yamen, Li Goudan saw his uncle's corpse and couldn't help but cry bitterly. After crying, the prefect told him that his uncle had died of a myocardial infarction and had nothing to do with anyone. Persuade him to mourn and go along with the changes, and take his uncle's body back for burial earlier. Finally, he told him that after finishing his uncle's funeral, remember to go to the New Dragon Gate Inn and take away his uncle's relics.
Li Goudan took the order, hired a carriage, pulled Lao Li's body home, and went to the funeral. Because the little fat man and Jin Buyan did this very well today, they were also rewarded by the prefect. At that moment, Jin Buyan reported the cause of the little fat man on the road to save people to the prefect. When the prefect heard this, he was also furious, and violent incidents occurred one after another on his territory. If this is known to the court, his black gauze hat is estimated to be difficult to protect. So, the prefect ordered fifty catches, led by Jin Buyan and the little fat man, and came all the way to the scene of the incident. When they arrived at the scene of the incident, they didn't see corpses all over the field as they imagined, except for some scattered bloodstains, as if they were pouring out a tragedy that had happened here not long ago, they couldn't even see a corpse. The little fat man knew in his heart that these corpses were probably moved by Zhao Wuyan and someone. Zhao Wuyan not only moved the corpses of his own people, but even the corpses of those people in black were also removed. For example, Zhao Wuyan Xiang found the clues of the mastermind behind the scenes through the corpses of these black-clothed people.
The prefect did not see the corpse, his brows furrowed, although there were blood stains, but there was no corpse, this could not be decided. In desperation, the prefect had no choice but to take people back home. This strange case can only be considered in the long run.
After dealing with Lao Litou's affairs, everyone's hearts were relieved, and the atmosphere became the same as usual again. However, because of Zhao Wuyan's matter, the little fat man's heart has always been like pressing a big stone. The little fat man took stock of the knife next to him, but he didn't take it back, and he also lost a few knives when he practiced the knife. Now, there are only three left. After a few days of exploration, the little fat man has understood that the power of this flying knife is indeed not small. At critical moments, you can also save your own life and save others. It just so happened that the prefect also gave out the bonus of one hundred taels of silver, and the little fat man took the silver and found the blacksmith shop, and asked the boss to rebuild thirty identical flying knives.
When the little fat man was patrolling the field in the afternoon, he found that the Bijia tofu brain shop was suddenly closed. The little fat man was puzzled and asked the people in the neighborhood. They told the little fat man that after the "Tofu Shih Tzu" came back from outside the day before yesterday, he didn't know what blow he received, and he looked a little embarrassed. Subsequently, there was a news from within the Bi family that the store in Lianyun City was closed, and everyone in the store followed Bi Yating back to her grandmother's house and was happy there again. After the little fat man heard the news, he felt that it was a pity that he would never be able to eat Bijia's delicious tofu brain in the future. In addition to the Bi family, the little fat man also sensed that something was wrong in Lianyun City. That is, all of a sudden, all the members of the North City Knife Club stopped walking around the city, and no one had seen them or what they were doing for a whole day, as if all of a sudden, they had evaporated from the world. However, although the little fat man also felt that the situation was wrong, it was not to the point of being scared to pee. The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, no matter what conspiracy he wants to play, there will naturally be assistance from above at that time.
The little fat man was patrolling normally, and suddenly heard a heart-rending exclamation in his ears: "Help!
The little fat man was taken aback, and followed the shouting, only to see a middle-aged woman sitting on the ground not far away, shouting loudly. Following the direction she was looking at, the little fat man saw a black horse, and the black horse was dragging a person. Judging from the posture of his horseback, what he was still holding in his arms, the little fat man had already guessed that what he was holding must be the child he had just snatched from the arms of this middle-aged woman.
