He, Fu Shichun, was sitting on the horse, leisurely and contentedly, as if he were hunting. He was naturally very calm, but Cao Dongdong, Ma Xiaoyi, Niu Beiqing and others were already red-blooded. Niu Beiqing even chopped off their heads directly. The scene was very bloody.
Who would even think about staying alive?
The key point is that Cao Dongdong saw Fu Shichun performing archery in front of him, which made him very unhappy. His father could shoot a bow left and right and was one of the best archers in Sanya. Although Cao Dongdong was not as good as his father, he couldn't let Fu Shichun compare.
You don’t have to keep your mouth alive, but you can’t lose your face.
Zhang Fei was not in the mood to argue with them at this time. Although this was not the first time he had been attacked, it was the first time he had seen a scene of disembowelment and rivers of blood. He was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
My brain is also blank.
I don't even know how to handle this situation.
Fortunately, Cao Dongdong and Fu Shichun were there. They first took stock of the situation on their side, and found that five people were dead and six were injured, while the other party's army was completely wiped out, with more than twenty corpses lying on the ground.
So he decided to send one person to ride a fast horse to the county seat, ask the county government people to come here to clean up, and left four people here to take care of it. At the same time, the team also speeded up, and they must arrive at the county seat before dark, because it was dark.
After that, it will only become more dangerous.
...
Pinglu County, official residence.
Second watch time.
Zhang Fei sat by the bed, gently holding Gao Wenyin's catkin with one hand, looking at the sleeping beauty in his arms, his eyes filled with guilt.
Today Gao Wenyin was so frightened that she fainted on the spot. When she arrived at the Pinglu County official residence, she was still in shock. There was no other way. Zhang Fei could only sit by the bed with her and comfort her. Gradually, she fell asleep peacefully.
.
There was a soft squeaking sound.
Xu Zhiqian walked in gently from outside the house and said softly: "Sister is asleep."
Zhang Fei nodded.
Xu Zhiqian said: "I'll stay here with Sister Gao. If you go out and take a look, they will only quarrel in the office, and I won't be able to come forward. In my opinion, this matter has nothing to do with the local magistrate and county captain."
.”
Zhang Fei asked: "How do you say this?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "The name of the magistrate of Pinglu County is Duan Qi. He has been in Pinglu County for two years, and this is the last year. His political performance was pretty good before. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be promoted, but something happened."
This matter, I'm afraid his promotion will be affected."
Zhang Fei said: "But it's also possible that they have done a lot of bad things behind their backs and are afraid that I will find out."
Xu Zhiqian said: "We won't use this method. This matter will be very detrimental to the career of all officials in Pinglu County."
"That's true."
Zhang Fei nodded, then carefully placed Gao Wenyin in his arms on the bed, and said: "You stay here with her first, I will be back soon."
Xu Zhiqian nodded.
Her condition is better than that of Zhang Fei and Gao Wenyin. After all, she has followed Xu Zun all over the world. Although she has never encountered such a situation, she has seen a lot of murders and even grass bandits, and she knows what's going on outside.
environment.
...
"Don't talk nonsense. I only know that this happened in your Pinglu County. You can't get away with it. If the murderer can't be caught, I want you to look good."
As soon as I came out of the back room, I heard Cao Dongdong's roar from the front hall.
He was so angry that four of the five people who died were his, and even Tao Zi was almost killed.
Another angry voice was heard, "Since the Yamen don't believe us, why not go investigate on your own? Aren't you Royal Police here to replace us?"
"You really reminded me that this matter will be handed over to our police station. But until this matter is found out, you all just stay at home and wait for the review."
"Why do we need to be scrutinized? Yanei, don't go too far."
"This place will be taken over by our Royal Police."
"what happened?"
Zhang Fei entered the hall and saw a burly middle-aged man standing in the hall. This man's name was Xiong Tao. He was the Pinglu County County Lieutenant, equivalent to the director of the Pinglu County Public Security Bureau.
When Xiong Tao saw Zhang Fei coming in, he quickly clasped his fists and saluted, "President, we don't want to do anything like this, but the investigation will take time. We are not gods, so how can we hand over the murderer immediately?"
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "You should investigate quickly and send the scroll to Hezhong Mansion. I will personally try the case."
Xiong Tao was stunned for a moment. He had already seen Zhang Fei just now. Zhang Fei looked pale and weak at that time. He was completely different from Zhang Fei at this time. He cupped his fists and said, "I obey my order."
Zhang Fei said: "Go and do your work first. I will come back to you if anything happens."
"Yes, I will take my leave."
After Xiong Tao left, Cao Dongdong jumped forward and said, "Zhang San, we have passed through so many states and counties and nothing happened, but we were assassinated here. This matter is most likely related to them, and you asked them to investigate."
, how to find out the result, we happen to be replacing their county captain, why not use this matter to build the Pinglu County Police Station."
Zhang Fei said angrily: "Don't you know how many royal policemen you have brought? There is no way to replace this moment. Besides, this matter is not necessarily related to them."
Fu Shichun smiled slightly and said: "Zhang San is right, but without knowing the county, the county captain would be stupid enough to assassinate the imperial official on his own territory. And if they investigate, they will definitely try their best to investigate. If the real culprit cannot be found, the imperial court will
They must be held accountable.”
Ma Xiaoyi asked curiously: "If they didn't do it, then who could it be?"
Fu Shichun couldn't help but look at Zhang Fei and said with a smile: "Those assassins just now were clearly targeting Zhang San. From what I can tell, it is probably the work of someone Zhang San offended in the capital."
Zhang Fei frowned and said, "If this is the case, it will be difficult to investigate."
Fu Shichun smiled and said: "The people you offended in the capital are either rich or noble. How dare they do this? They are not afraid of your investigation."
Zhang Fei said: "But we still need to report this matter back to the capital and investigate it together. I hope we can find any clues."
Although he also knows that with the current technology, it is difficult to investigate such a thing, but he will never tolerate it and will investigate to the end. Otherwise, assassins will not come to his door every day.
...
The next day.
Gao Wen opened his eyes in confusion and looked at the unfamiliar roof, and couldn't help but murmured: "Where am I?"
She came to this official residence in a daze yesterday and didn't even know where she was. She looked around again and suddenly found a person lying on the bed beside the bed, soundly asleep.
"Sanlang?"
Gao Wenyin couldn't help but be stunned.
This soft cry also woke up Zhang Fei. He opened his eyes and saw Gao Wenyin looking at him. He sat up quickly and said, "Madam, you're awake."
Gao Wenyin looked at Zhang Fei and said, "Sanlang, did you fall asleep here last night?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "You were having nightmares yesterday. I'm not worried about it, so I'm here to stay with you."
Gao Wenyin's eyes were slightly moist, and she said guiltily: "I'm sorry, I have to let you take care of me."
Zhang Fei said: "We husband and wife, if we talk about this, we are talking about it. Besides, you have taken care of me day and night for the past two years, and if I take care of you for one night, it is nothing."
Gao Wenyin smiled shyly, with two small dimples showing on both sides of her mouth, making her look even more attractive.
Zhang Fei gently held her in his arms and said, "Actually, it's me who's sorry for making you suffer with me."
Gao Wenyin buried her head in Zhang Fei's arms, shook it gently, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Being able to follow Sanlang is already my greatest blessing."
Winter winter winter!
There was a knock on the door, and Xu Zhiqian's voice came from outside, "Zhang San, are you awake?"
Gao Wenyin was frightened, and immediately left Zhang Fei's arms and shrank back into the quilt, as if she had been caught in an act of rape, which made Zhang Fei dumbfounded.
"woke up!"
"Zhixian Duan is here."
"I see."
...
Duan Qi was really frightened. He rushed over early in the morning and when he saw Zhang Fei, he said that he would investigate to the end. In fact, he was hinting to Zhang Fei that this matter really had nothing to do with me.
But according to current investigation results, those assassins may not be from Pinglu County.
Zhang Fei can only respond first, but no matter what, the result of this must be found out.
After two days of repairs in Pinglu County, Zhang Fei and his party set off again.
For the sake of safety, Zhang Fei did not ride a horse this time, but chose to sit in a carriage with Gao Wenyin and Xu Zhiqian.
"Third brother, I'm really sorry. I was so red-eyed that day, so...!"
Niu Beiqing quietly came to the carriage and said guiltily.
Long Wu, who was driving the car, teased: "He will be the same next time."
Niu Beiqing immediately said: "You have wronged me. I will never do this next time. The main reason is that I held it in the capital for too long, so I didn't stop for a while."
Gao Wenyin frowned and said: "Danniu, don't talk nonsense, there will be no next time...!"
Niu Beiqing scratched his head, "Third brother, don't blame me, I...I'm not very good at talking."
Zhang Fei smiled and nodded, and suddenly said to Long Wu: "Long Wu, you are really a master."
This time it all depends on Long Wu. Cao Dongdong and the others are expected to die several times. He is professional and skilled. He is really a perfect bodyguard!
Long Wu's face turned red.
No, are you still shy? Zhang Fei asked curiously: "In that case, why did you have such a hard time fighting with the rogue before?"
Long Wudao: "I'm afraid I'll accidentally kill him."
Zhang Fei nodded and recalled that day, this guy really used his killing move, the kind that left no chance of survival at all.
After walking for several more days, they finally arrived at Hezhong Mansion.
There is an endless stream of caravans coming and going along this road, and the prosperity on the road is really no less than that of the capital city.
There is no other way. This is a transportation fortress. Just beyond Pinglu County is Sanmenxia. A large number of granaries have been built here. Many goods are transported here by land and then by river.
Because there were too many cars and horses on the official road, Cao Dongdong couldn't bear the stop-and-go traffic, so they changed to the side road.
After walking another two or three miles, I suddenly heard a very pitiful cry coming from afar.
"Huh? Why did you hear crying?"
Zhang Fei opened the car curtain, looked for the sound, and saw a farmer kneeling by the river in the distance.
After seeing this, Xu Zhiqian hurriedly said: "This man is crying so miserably. He must have some grievance. Why don't you send someone over to ask about it?"
Ma Xiaoyi, who also loves to hoe the strong and help the weak, was quite curious about this and immediately said: "I'll go over and ask."
With that said, he rode forward on horseback.
After a while, Ma Xiaoyi turned back and hummed: "That man is a fool. No matter how I ask him, he just ignores me and just cries."
Xu Zhiqian glanced at the unreliable Ma Xiaoyi and whispered to Zhang Fei: "Zhang San, ask Tao Zi to go over and ask again."
Zhang Fei nodded and asked Tao Zi to go over and inquire.
However, the result was still the same, that person just cried and wouldn't open his mouth no matter how much he asked.
Just then, two hawkers carrying burdens came towards me, and one of them said: "Look, this Angkor has come here to cry again. How about we go and persuade him?"
"It's no use. All the folks here have tried to persuade me. Alas...if this happened to me, I would probably have suicidal thoughts."
...
Zhang Fei was curious after hearing this, got off the carriage and asked, "Brothers, please stay."
The two chaihu men turned their heads and looked at Zhang Fei. Seeing that they were all dressed in gorgeous clothes, they seemed a little scared. One of them asked: "Is something wrong, little official?"
Zhang Fei pointed to the man by the river and asked, "Why is that man kneeling there crying?"
One of the waiters immediately said: "His wife pushed his mother into the river."
"ah!"
Xu Zhiqian and Gao Wenyin both exclaimed.
Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi were also dumbfounded and couldn't help but look at each other.
The other chaihu glared at his companion and said, "Stop saying a few words. Angkor usually treats us very well!"
Zhang Fei asked again: "Why?"
The previous Chai Fu did not dare to speak and looked at his companions. The other Chai Fu said: "We... we don't know either."
After the two of them spoke, they left in a hurry.
