Chapter 59 [Red Willow Village] Jin Mucanchen, the leader of the alliance
Even when Hu Xiaotian was involved in a medical dispute in his previous life, he never got around to the point of being beaten by everyone. In order to prevent him from being recognized by the common people, he even wore a bamboo hat and walked into the carriage like a thief, waiting for the curtain to be lowered.
, this guy breathed a sigh of relief and took off the hat: "It's suffocating me to death!"
Murong Feiyan said: "Has the announcement been resolved?"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "That old guy Xu Qinglian wants me to be beaten to death by the common people. I think he will definitely cause trouble."
"Are you going to just accept the situation and wait for death?"
Hu Xiaotian's eyes flashed fiercely, and he gritted his teeth. He reached out and gently placed his hand on Murong Feiyan's shoulder: "Feiyan, tonight you help me kill this old dog with a knife!"
"What?" Murong Feiyan was startled by this guy. Did you make a mistake? You are an official. Did you think you were a thief? Looking at Hu Xiaotian again, there was already a heartless smile on his face. Only then did he understand this.
The guy said this deliberately to tease himself, and he raised his pink fist in anger.
Hu Xiaotian hurriedly said: "Hold on, a gentleman talks but doesn't move..." Of course he knew the power of Murong Feiyan's powder fist. Murong Feiyan turned his fist into a finger and just poked Hu Xiaotian lightly. Hu Xiaotian suddenly felt paralyzed.
Not allowed: "Hey...you actually clicked on my hole...hahaha..."
Murong Feiyan obviously had no intention of letting him go easily, and then tapped Hu Xiaotian's smiling waist point, and Hu Xiaotian's cheerful and crazy laughter sounded in the carriage.
Liu Kuohai, who was driving the carriage outside, didn't think anything at first, but then he heard the laughter and didn't stop for a long time. Liu Kuohai laughed so hard that his hair stood on end. He even got goosebumps. He was riding in the same carriage with a beautiful woman.
? As for being happy like this?
Hu Xiaotian didn't stop laughing until he got out of the car. For the first time in his life, he realized that laughing was also physical work. His face turned red from laughing, tears flowed out, his throat was dry, and his rectus abdominis was sore.
Both buttocks and balls were stretched too tight by the sphincter muscles, abuse, absolute abuse. Hu Xiaotian looked at Murong Feiyan with a wronged face: "Girl, please don't be so insidious in the future."
Women can't be more serious. As the saying goes, good men don't fight with women. What kind of ambition do we have? Although our breasts are not as big as yours, we are very open-minded. Today's abuse is an ambush for the future resistance to abuse.
Hu Xiaotian moved his waist, put his hands on his lower back, and stood proudly in the sun with an extremely straight and forward posture. The posture was a bit inelegant, but it showed stubbornness and unyielding.
There is a winding river in front. The river is lined with green willows on both sides, and the breeze blows through it. It ruffles the green silk ribbons of the trees, like a girl's hair flying lightly. A manor appears among the green trees, and there is Hu Xiaotian.
Today’s destination is Hongliuzhuang.
There was not a single red willow outside Hongliuzhuang, which seemed to live up to its name. Hu Xiaotian took the lead in walking across the stone arch bridge in front and came to the gate of Hongliuzhuang. Before he walked in, the gate opened from the inside.
Jadewang, who was fair and fat with a kind face, appeared in front of the gate. Today he was not dressed as a farmer in the past, but was wearing a yellow silk robe. He held a folding fan in his hand, closed the folding fan, and bowed respectfully:
"Sir Hu is coming here with great dignity. The common people are disappointed to welcome you from afar. I hope you won't be offended."
Hu Xiaotian knew that they had already noticed his arrival, so he smiled and nodded and said: "Jia Dewang, are you healed?"
Jia Dewang said with a half-smile but not a smile: "The scar has healed, but the pain is still there. Your Excellency's punishment will be remembered by ordinary people forever."
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said, "After all these detours, it's still not about holding grudges?" He strode into Hongliu Manor, and Murong Feiyan and Liu Kuohai followed Hu Xiaotian in.
Jadwang followed quickly: "Why are you here, sir?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Jia Liu is not with you?"
Although Jia Dewang knew that Hu Xiaotian had figured out the secret between him and Jia Liu, he still kept his mouth shut and said with a smile: "The more you talk, the more confused I become." Seeing Hu Xiaotian's sudden visit, Jia Dewang felt natural.
Somewhat uneasy.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm not afraid of being really confused, I'm just afraid of pretending to be confused." He handed the wooden tiger talisman that Zhou Batian gave him to Jia Dewang.
When Jia Dewang saw the tiger talisman, the expression on his face immediately changed. He bowed to Hu Xiaotian again, this time to the ground, and said respectfully: "My lord, please forgive me. This matter is of great importance, and ordinary people dare not neglect it."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I came to you to tell you something."
Jia Dewang made an invitation gesture. Murong Feiyan and Liu Kuohai wanted to follow him in, but Jia Dewang said: "You two, please stay. There are some things I need to discuss with you alone."
Murong Feiyan did not trust Jia Dewang and said coldly: "Is there anything you can't say publicly?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "You guys are waiting for me outside. Some things really need to be said alone." He believed that Zhou Batian would not harm him. In fact, with his current status, he is not an important person. Hu Xiaotian
The reason why he chose to come to Hongliuzhuang was because he was curious. He wanted to find out the relationship between Zhou Batian and this group of people, and what exactly did these soldiers from Hutou Camp want to do when they were detained here? There was another reason.
, Hu Xiaotian had a hunch that these people were friends rather than enemies.
Jia Dewang and Hu Xiaotian walked into the inner house together. He smiled and said: "Master Hu is so courageous. Are you really not worried that I will be harmful to you?"
Hu Xiaotian laughed loudly: "You are so grudged and want revenge for just a few things? I don't think you are such a narrow-minded person."
Jia Dewang said: "Master Hu has come with my elder brother's tiger talisman, and I treat him as a distinguished guest." While they were talking, they had arrived at the backyard. In the huge backyard, there was a scribe in white sitting quietly.
Under an osmanthus tree, he was playing with a string of Venus small-leaf red sandalwood Buddhist beads in his hands. He closed his eyes tightly and did not stop because of the arrival of the guests.
Jia Dewang said respectfully: "Xiao Xiucai, Master Hu is here." He handed the tiger talisman that Hu Xiaotian just handed him to the scribe's hand.
The white-clothed scribe nodded. His eyes were still closed, and he said in the direction where Hu Xiaotian came: "I am Xiao Tianmu. I am not able to greet you because I am ill."
Seeing that his eyes had not been opened, Hu Xiaotian guessed that his eyes were diseased. He sat down on the stone bench next to the white-clothed scribe and said softly: "Mr. Xiao's eyes are inconvenient?"
Xiao Tianmu said: "I'm blind!" His voice was plain and there was no hint of loss.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Sorry, I was too abrupt."
Xiao Tianmu smiled and said: "It's nothing to be aware of. I was blind when I was seven years old. It has been a full eighteen years now and I can no longer remember what the world is like. Fortunately, I have a pair of ears.
"
Jia Dewang served Hu Xiaotian a cup of fragrant tea, and helped Xiao Tianmu fill the cup with hot water. Xiao Tianmu handed the tiger charm to Hu Xiaotian: "My elder brother gave this tiger charm to you?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded noncommittally, but then remembered that Xiao Tianmu couldn't see his movements, and said softly: "He said you would tell me something."
Xiao Tianmu picked up the tea cup and sipped the tea: "What do you want to know from me, sir?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Four months ago, a team of 100 people from Xizhou Hutou Camp came to Tianlang Mountain to suppress the bandits. Unfortunately, this well-known elite force in Xichuan was ambushed in Tianlang Mountain and was killed by the bandit leader.
The gang of horse thieves led by Yan Kui besieged Fenglang Valley and suffered heavy casualties. According to the results I found, only three people escaped from Fenglang Valley afterwards. After returning to Xizhou, they finally escaped death and were furious.
Master Li, the governor of Xizhou, asked to behead him."
Xiao Tianmu's expression remained unchanged, his breath was as steady as usual, and he held the tea cup steadily in his hand. Hu Xiaotian's words did not touch him at all.
Hu Xiaotian said: "The commander of the hundred men in Hutou Camp is a general named Zhou Mo. I checked the subsequent battle report. It said that Zhou Mo and the other soldiers all died in the Fenglang Valley."
Xiao Tianmu said calmly: "Master Hu should have put in a lot of effort before coming."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I just came to Qingyun as an official, and I happened to discover some strange things. For me, I just want my tenure to be safe and secure, and I don't want to cause any problems."
Xiao Tianmu asked: "Did you feel comfortable spending the night in Qingyun Prison?"
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help laughing when he heard him ask this. That night he was mistakenly arrested by the policeman on night watch and put into the prison cell. It was for this reason that he met Zhou Batian and Jia Dewang. From Xiao Tianmu's questioning
He already knew that it must be Jia Dewang who told him about this. Hu Xiaotian said: "I will never forget it."
Xiao Tianmu said: "Your Excellency came to Qingyun and did not go to the county government to take office, but first chose to remain anonymous and visit privately. Such painstaking efforts are really admirable."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It was a mistake, and I will tell you the truth. I didn't mean to go to the prison cell to stay."
Xiao Tianmu said: "Sometimes, the more dangerous the place, the safer it is. The Battle of Fenglang Valley suffered heavy casualties. Only eleven of the one hundred soldiers of Hutou Camp escaped, except for three who fled back to Xizhou.
Soldiers, and two others died of serious injuries, which means that there are only six survivors." At this point, Xiao Tianmu's face was full of compassion.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Zhou Batian is Zhou Mo?"
Xiao Tianmu neither denied nor admitted. He sighed and said, "Since you have already guessed it, why didn't you report it to your superiors?"
Hu Xiaotian whispered: "Who he is has nothing to do with me. I am Qingyun County Magistrate. It is enough to do my job well."
Xiao Tianmu said: "You have come to Qingyun for the first time, and you seem to be unfamiliar with things here. The reason why the horse bandits in Tianlang Mountain are so rampant is actually because they have internal agents in Qingyun County."
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel startled. He had never considered this aspect. If Xiao Tianmu's statement was true, wouldn't it be a family of official bandits? He pondered for a moment. This group of people had been lurking in Qingyun County since the failure of the suppression of bandits.
Silently investigating, he should have more inside information than he did. He couldn't believe this person's words, but he couldn't believe them all. He whispered: "Are you also from Hutou Camp?"
