Chapter 402 Taoyuan Inn
Tang Jiusheng killed the woman in the red hat with one sword, and allowed the man in the green hat to mount his horse and escape, completely unaware that he had caused a big disaster. Seeing that the danger was over, Li Fugui from the horse gang thanked Tang Jiusheng and the others and said goodbye to them.
, led the cavalry on the road, and galloped towards the county town.
Fatty and Xiahou Lingyu dismounted and checked the things on the three killers. In addition to banknotes and other items, they also unexpectedly found the waistband of Daxia Tingfu on the woman in the red hat.
Knowing nothing about the matter, he handed the ebony waist badge to Tang Jiusheng. Seeing that there were no outsiders around him, he asked curiously: "Brother Tang, what is Tingfu?"
Tang Jiusheng held Tingfu's ebony waistband in his hand, with a gloomy expression. The reason why he let the man in the green hat go just now was because he wanted to use him to fish, but he didn't expect that he was from Tingfu. Tang Jiusheng said expressionlessly: "Daxia
The Tingfu is equivalent to the Eastern Guard of our Great Shang Kingdom, an intelligence and killer agency. But I don’t understand why the people from the Tingfu came to Jiannan Road to intercept and kill me. Isn’t this asking for death?”
The fat man sneered, "What the hell, if the soldiers come to cover up the water and the earth, who is afraid of whom?"
Tang Jiusheng glanced at the fat man, stretched out his hand and flicked a chestnut on his head, "Fat man, what do I want to say to you? You know how to fight and kill all day long! Don't you think there is something wrong with this? Dong
Wei and Tingfu were supposed to be incompatible with each other, but recently people from Tingfu were frequently involved in Dashang activities, while Dongwei sat back and ignored them. What does this mean? Either Dongwei is fishing for a big fish in the long run, or there is someone in Dongwei who is in conflict with
The court is colluding!"
The fat man snorted and said angrily: "Fat Master, I am an honest person, but I don't have the stubbornness in the belly of you scholars who think everything into detail! Fat Master only knows that if they provoke Fat Master
, Fatty, you have to fight back! If you are pushed too hard, you will end up dead!"
Tang Jiusheng suddenly smiled bitterly, "I didn't want to kill people at first, but suddenly I felt violent. I felt better after killing two people! I don't know if it was because of the poisoning before."
Xiahou Lingyu looked at Tang Jiusheng with admiration in his eyes, "Brother Tang, your martial arts are so good! That woman wearing the red hat is not low in martial arts. She is standing on the threshold of the first-level martial arts realm, but you only use one
He easily took her sword away and stabbed her to death!"
Tang Jiusheng shook his head and frowned: "When I activated the energy storage pill, it was just Wu Xuan. It was not really that much higher than her. I was very confused. When I was angry just now, I just wanted to kill people, and at that moment
The skill doubled in an instant. If it were a normal fight, it would take five moves to defeat and kill her. Another thing I'm curious about is that the people from the big caravan are obviously capable of fighting, but why did they retreat?"
The fat man laughed loudly, "Old Tang, don't be suspicious all day long. If it were me, Li Fugui, I would have returned. Li Fugui just brought a group of brothers out to beg for food, and he didn't have any deep grudges.
Why do we have to fight life and death? Even if we can kill four people wearing bamboo hats in a swarm, we will definitely lose more than half of them, which is completely unnecessary!"
Tang Jiusheng was too lazy to think about it anymore and turned around and said: "Let's dig a hole and bury the three of them. It's not good to expose corpses in the wilderness.
Anyone who sees a dead body must report it to the authorities. How can you ask the local magistrate to investigate such an unsolved case?"
So Tang Jiusheng and Xiahou Lingyu dug a big hole on the roadside. The fat man carried the people and quickly disposed of the bodies of the three people. Tang Jiusheng picked up the sword of the woman in the red hat and took a closer look. It was an ancient sword.
The hilt of the sword was inlaid with a red gem, and the body of the sword was engraved with faintly visible seal characters. Tang Jiu Sheng studied it for a long time and finally saw clearly that it was the word "Prehistoric".
Tang Jiusheng put away his sword, got on his horse, and said with a smile: "Let's go! But I suddenly remembered something. When I first arrived in Jiannan Road more than half a year ago, I met the Fushun Escort Bureau. Their main number is
In Jianzhou, they had a boss named Yu Desheng. This Yu Desheng turned out to be the housekeeper of the junior sister's family. He defrauded many people of their money under the guise of the Shui family. The Shui family paid the money back for him and searched for him everywhere. Only later did they find out
He fled to Jianzhou and became the owner of a bodyguard agency. I originally wanted to take care of him, but I was too busy to take care of him. I have to make up for him when he comes back!"
Xiahou Lingyu said disdainfully: "What's so great about being the owner of an escort agency? For a prince like you, just send people to confiscate his property and then kill him! If it's inconvenient for you, Fatty Me and I will do it
, I promise not to keep any of the chickens and dogs they killed!" The fat man claimed at the side.
Tang Jiusheng looked at Xiahou Lingyu and Fatty and said, dumbfounded: "It would be a pity if you two don't become a family! You spend all day fighting and killing!"
Xiahou Lingyu and Fatty looked at each other and said in unison: "It's better for us to be brothers!" Tang Jiusheng smiled slightly. These were two men and women who disliked each other.
Tang Jiusheng clamped his legs on the belly of the big white horse and said, "Drive!" The big white horse galloped away, followed by Xiahou Lingyu and Fatty. Soon, only smoke and dust could be seen along the official road.
After the three people left, about a cup of tea before, a masked man in black with a sword on his back came to the pit where the three people wearing bamboo hats were buried. He looked at the newly filled soil in a daze in silence. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Tang Jiusheng, you bastard! You killed my senior sister and junior brother. I must ask Master to avenge them!"
More than 40 miles further, we reach Taoyin County in Jianzhou County. It is said that this county is famous for its peaches, with shady peach trees, hence its name. Some people in Taoyin County also sued the county governor, and they must investigate.
After a while, Tang Jiusheng slowed down his horse and murmured to himself: "According to the Great Commercial Law, even if the people sue the officials, they may be punished even if they win. How far do these ordinary people have to be pushed before they sue the officials!"
Xiahou Lingyu on the side asked in confusion: "Why? This is so unreasonable. Even if you win the lawsuit, you will still have to face the consequences?"
Tang Jiusheng smiled bitterly and said: "It's unreasonable, but this can to a large extent curb the unruly people from suing officials. Moreover, once the people sue officials are found guilty in Dashang Law, the officials will often suffer even worse. Taizu of this dynasty
I have skinned and stripped corrupt officials, and of course there were also many who were executed by Ling Chi!"
The fat man stuck out his tongue, shook his head and said: "Fortunately, we reincarnated well. Fatty really doesn't want to be a farmer! Fatty doesn't know how to farm, doesn't like to study, and can only dance with guns and sticks. Apart from fighting,
, it seems like I don’t have any other hobbies!”
Tang Jiusheng turned white and fat
He glanced at me and said, "Don't talk nonsense! You don't love money? Don't you love beautiful women?"
The fat man said sarcastically: "Old Tang, you are so boring to chatter! As long as you are a man, who doesn't love money and beautiful women? Fat Master, I heard that even the father-in-laws in the harem love beautiful women!"
The three of them were riding horses on the official road, chatting along the way, and found that there were large peach groves near several villages on the roadside. It turned out to be a county famous for growing peaches. In the afternoon, the three of them finally arrived at Taoyin.
County seat. This Taoyin County seat is not big, with a population of more than 40,000, and low city walls. It is not considered a county in Jianzhou County.
When entering the city, the five garrison soldiers at the city gate saw three people riding tall horses and carrying weapons. Looking at the silk and satin clothes they were wearing, they were definitely the eldest son of a wealthy family. They were most likely coming from the direction of Luye City.
They were too frightened to stop them, so they allowed the three of them to enter the city.
Tang Jiusheng looked at the five garrison soldiers and couldn't help but sigh. The laws of the Great Shang Dynasty stipulated that civilians were not allowed to carry standard weapons while walking on the streets. They could only carry weapons on the streets after applying for a weapons license from the government. But the five soldiers at the city gate
When the garrison saw the three men carrying weapons, they did not dare to intervene, which was obviously an act of inaction.
If the upper beam fails to go up and the lower beam is crooked, the magistrate of Taoyin County must be responsible, the governor of Jianzhou County Ye Tengjiao is responsible, and the manager of Luye City, Niu Mandi, is certainly responsible.
After the three of them entered the city, they stayed at an inn called Taoyuan. The waiter diligently led the three's horses to the stables. The graceful proprietress of the inn saw the three of them dressed up and concluded that they were definitely descendants of aristocratic families.
, so he came out to entertain him in person. Although the face Tang Jiusheng wore was not as good as his appearance, he was still very handsome. The proprietress who called herself Qiutao saw Tang Jiusheng's handsome face, and she even smiled and served him carefully.
Tang Jiusheng leaned on the counter and flirted and chatted with the proprietress Qiu Tao for a while. He inquired about several wealthy families in the county and learned that the famous Liu Chenli lived outside the county in the northeast corner. The reason why he inquired about Liu Chenli's family was
This is because Liu Chenli's family was the one who sued the county governor many times before. I heard that Liu Chenli was often retaliated against by the county governor's office because of this.
Liu Chenli had a daughter named Liu Qiongying, who was sixteen years old and as tall as a flower. She was originally betrothed to Yang Tongwei, the second son of another wealthy family in the county, Yang Jian's family. As a result, Ye Tengjiao heard that Liu Qiongying was beautiful and sent people to Tao
Yin County forcibly took Liu Qiongying back to Jianzhou and made her a concubine. When the evil slaves from the county guard's office came to snatch her, there was an episode.
When the team that came to snatch the bride came to Liu Chenli's house, Liu Chenli's eldest son Liu Chengqiang refused to accept it and wanted to protect his sister, so he started fighting with the team that came to snatch the bride. As a result, two evil slaves in Ye Tengjiao's house were beaten to death and one was injured.
, this time he got into trouble. He was chased by the people from the county guard's office until he had no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth. He had no choice but to escape to Xicui Mountain and became a bandit. Liu Chenli was frightened and fell ill in bed. He died half a year ago.
.
The Liu family now has only its second son, Liu Chenggong, who can barely maintain the family at home. They were forced to sell two grain stores and one silk and satin shop, costing Ye Tengjiao thousands of taels of silver. The Liu family refused to accept it and went to the Yamen to sue the county guard for robbery.
The daughter of the common people had no results, and she was controlled by Beijing, but still no results. From time to time, the Liu family had to face harassment from people sent by the county magistrate's office. Now the family is in decline. It has long lost its former glory and barely sold it.
