Chapter nine hundred and ninety first fornication against thieves
Liu Xiu looked at Luo You and said with a smile: "Whether the other party is a bad person or not, you will know in one try."
At Liu Xiu's signal, they walked down the main street and walked into a quiet alley. In the middle of the alley, they turned into an empty alley.
As they were walking forward, five burly men suddenly came face to face. Each of them was dressed loosely and looked carefree. It was obvious at a glance that they were not good people.
At the same time, five big men appeared behind them, blocking their retreat.
"Okay, don't leave!" A big man in the front stood in the middle of the alley, his hands on his waist, and he looked at Liu Xiu and others from top to bottom.
After looking at Liu Xiu and his party, the old man who led him asked: "Just now, you guys were the ones spreading rumors in the tavern, saying that General Xizhou had defected to Gongsun Shu and damaged the Long Road.
?”
Hearing this, Luo You took a step forward and said, "What I said is the truth!"
"How dare you go to my land and talk so shamelessly like a young boy?" Seeing that Luo You was only half a child, the leader felt contemptuous, but Luo You's outstanding appearance made him look at her more.
Eye.
This young man has a really handsome appearance, with delicate eyebrows, a pair of big black eyes full of liveliness, and fair and delicate skin. It seems that he can catch water with just a pinch.
The big man at the head couldn't help but clicked his tongue twice, and said with an amused smile: "It's a pity that you are not a girl, but there are many people in Chang'an City who like you. If you sell it to an actor's hall, you can probably sell it.
A big price!”
The Actors' Pavilion is a men's brothel, and the people inside are all young and beautiful young people. After hearing what the other party said, Luo You's face turned red with anger, and he glared at the other party. After holding it in for a long time, he uttered four words: "Shameless! Dirty!"
The leading man sneered and walked towards Luo You. When he got close to Luo You, he stretched out his hand to grab Luo You's skirt as if no one else was watching. At the same time, he said: "Boy, tonight I will let you know what shamelessness means in the Actor's Hall."
, obscene!”
The big man didn't take Luo You seriously at all, thinking that capturing her was just a matter of easy capture.
But before his hand touched Luo You, he suddenly felt his eyes flashing. Like a loach, Luo You got under his armpit, ducked behind him, and kicked him on the butt.
The big man grunted and threw himself forward. A pop was heard in his ears, and the leading man fell solidly to the ground.
He lay there with a dazed look on his face, and his eyes were still distracted. After a while, he came back to his senses, covered his butt with one hand, and howled loudly at the big men around him: "You are still waiting.
What? Do it!"
How could Liu Xiu and others take these gangsters seriously? There was no need for Liu Xiu and Luo You to take action. It was just Long Yuan and Xu Ying who worked one after another. It didn't take even half a minute for the four big men in front and
The five big men behind had all fallen to the ground.
People staggered on the ground and groaned. The big man at the head was about to get up from the ground, but when he saw the surrounding situation clearly, his figure suddenly froze when he was halfway up, and he remained dumbfounded in a half-rising posture.
He never expected that these people who were all dressed in ordinary clothes could be so powerful. In just an instant, the nine brothers he had brought with him were all beaten to the ground by them. What was even more frightening was that from the beginning
In the end, only two people took action.
Realizing that he had made trouble, the leading man slowly stood up, pressed his back against the wall on the side of the alley, and rubbed backwards little by little, trying to run away.
At this time, Luo You walked up to him, crossed his arms, and asked in a cold voice: "Where do you want to go?"
Her words made the big man tremble, and then he knelt down on the ground with a thud and stammered: "My heroes, have mercy on me! All heroes, please have mercy! I am too young to see Taishan, and I have offended all heroes.
Please leave the little one alone..."
Liu Xiu came over, looked at the big man kneeling begging for mercy, and asked, "Why are you following us?"
The big man hurriedly explained: "I saw that the heroes didn't look like locals, so I had evil thoughts in my mind and wanted to grab some money to spend. It's because I'm obsessed with it, and I don't know the truth..."
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Xiu raised his chin to Long Yuan who was standing aside. Without saying a word, Long Yuan pulled out the hidden sword from his lapel. He walked up to the big man with the sword and put the blade against his neck.
, said in a sinister tone: "If you refuse to tell the truth, you will have no one else to blame for your death!" As he spoke, he made a move to stab him with his sword.
The big man at the head was so frightened that his soul almost flew out of his body. He screamed, hurried forward and kowtowed repeatedly, and stammered: "Mr. Zhong asked us to do this. It was Mr. Zhong who instigated the little one."
They do this!”
"Who is Mr. Zhong? Please speak clearly!" Liu Xiu said in a deep voice.
The big man raised his head, looked at Liu Xiu, Long Yuan and others with fear, and told the whole story in detail.
The Mr. Zhong he was talking about was named Zhong Qi, and he was the biggest local gangster in Chang'an City. Any gangster who hangs out in Chang'an would give Mr. Zhong some face.
Some time ago, for unknown reasons, Zhong Qi gathered local snakes like them together and asked them to go to wine houses, teahouses, markets and other crowded places in the city to spread the word that 'Kui Xiao has not taken refuge with Gongsun Shu'.
The reason why the imperial court sent troops to attack Kui Xiao was because it was afraid of Kui Xiao's strength, and it was an act of harming loyal people, and so on. If anyone dared to speak against them, they should ignore it at the time, and they could teach him a lesson secretly in a place where no one was around.
This time, they were spreading the words Zhong Qi told him in the tavern, but Luo You stood up to refute. They wanted to teach Luo You a lesson, but when they thought of Zhong Qi's words, they gave up.
When Liu Xiu, Luo You and the others left the tavern, they quietly followed behind, waiting for the opportunity. After that, these things happened in the alley.
After listening to his story, Liu Xiu rubbed his chin and asked: "This Zhong Qi you are talking about, does he know Wei Xiao?"
The big man looked confused, shook his head and said: "Little one, I don't know! In... in my impression, Mr. Zhong doesn't seem to have anything to do with Wei Xiao."
Liu Xiu suddenly bent down, approached the big man, stared into his eyes, and asked word for word: "You didn't lie?"
The big man was startled by Liu Xiu's sudden approach and said repeatedly: "I don't dare, I don't dare to lie in front of the hero..."
"Let's go!"
"ah?"
"I say, you can all go!" Liu Xiu waved his hand and suddenly thought of something, and said: "However, I also want to warn you not to follow Zhong Qi's instructions in the future, otherwise, you may be colluding with traitors and intending to rebel.
Suspicion!"
His words made the leader of the big man tremble, and the figure that had just stood up suddenly fell back to his knees on the ground. He was so frightened.
He said in a trembling voice: "Young...I have never rebelled against you, and...I have never had any fornication with traitors. I have no conscience. I really have not rebelled against you..."
Liu Xiu said with a serious face: "Helping Zhong Qi and spreading rumors that are unfavorable to the imperial court is not treason, so what is it? Let's stop it here. If you continue to do this in the future, not only will you be unable to bear the consequences, but
, the whole family, young and old, will suffer disaster along with you!"
"Yes, yes, yes! The little one has written it down! The little one has written it all down! The little one...The little one will never participate in this matter again..."
Liu Xiu didn't say anything more, shook his head to Long Yuan and others, and walked out.
Watching them leave home, the leading man stood up slowly with his hands on the wall. At the same time, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. He leaned on the wall and took a few deep breaths, feeling that all his clothes were being worn.
Soaked in sweat.
He glanced at the people on the ground and yelled angrily: "Get out of here! Get out of here! Aren't you quite capable in normal times? Where has your ability gone now? Damn it, you are really a bunch of losers!"
When Liu Xiu and his party came out of the alley, Long Yuan asked in a low voice: "Master, are we still going to the north of the city?" Looking at it now, Chang'an City is not peaceful, and may even be more dangerous than Luoyang.
Liu Xiu shrugged and said disapprovingly: "Of course I want to go! I haven't gone to the market in the north of the city yet!"
Xuying answered: "Sir, this Zhong Qi is not an easy person. He is a local snake who controls Chang'an and spreads unfavorable remarks to the court. I think this person is most likely bribed by Wei Xiao."
Liu Xiu nodded, Xuying was very likely to say it. He pondered for a moment, raised the corners of his mouth, smiled, and said: "It seems that we should go to Jingzhao Mansion first!"
Jingzhao Mansion is located in the center of Chang'an City. Going from the south of the city to the north of the city, you also happen to pass by Jingzhao Mansion.
Hearing that it was Long Yuan, the emperor's personal guard, who was asking for an audience, Jing Zhaoyin didn't dare to be negligent and hurried out of the house to greet him. When he saw Long Yuan, he also saw Liu Xiu standing next to Long Yuan.
Jing Zhaoyin trembled and was stunned for a moment. He hurried forward and was about to salute Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu took the lead and held Jing Zhaoyin's arm. He said with a smile: "Jing Zhaoyin doesn't need to be polite. Let's enter the house."
Speak!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Please come inside! Please come inside!"
Jing Zhaoyin invited Liu Xiu and his party into the palace. In the lobby, he wanted Liu Xiu to sit on the main seat in the center. Liu Xiu refused and walked to the side to sit down. Jing Zhaoyin waved to the entourage around him and said
: "Everyone, get down!"
Everyone bowed and saluted and exited the lobby.
After they left, Jing Zhaoyin stood up, knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Xiu in a formal manner, and said, "I am here to see you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Jing Zhaoyin, please get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"I came to Jingzhao Mansion today mainly because I wanted to inquire about someone."
"I wonder who your Majesty wants to inquire about?"
"Zhong Qi."
"Zhong Qi..." As the highest local governor of Chang'an, Jing Zhaoyin is certainly no stranger to the biggest local gangster. He asked in a low voice: "I don't know... I don't know why your majesty suddenly asked about Zhong Qi..."
"What is he like as a person? How much do you know about him?"
"The minister dare not deceive your majesty. Before the minister was transferred to Jingzhaoyin, Zhong Qi was already the most powerful and influential local leader in Chang'an. It is said that when the Red Eyebrow Army withdrew from Chang'an, the city of Chang'an was already occupied.
It was completely destroyed. Zhong Qi led a group of people to enter Chang'an first and repair the damaged buildings. Later, more and more people came to Chang'an and they followed Zhong Qi to repair the buildings in the city. Zhong Qi also
Therefore, he won the respect and love of many people in Chang'an. When the Jingzhao Mansion was still closed, if conflicts or disputes occurred in Chang'an, people would go to Zhong Qi for judgment, and Zhong Qi's judgment would always convince the public.
"
"So," Liu Xiu continued: "Before the imperial court took control of Chang'an, this Zhong Qi seemed to have become Chang'an's private Jing Zhaoyin?"
"Exactly. Even though the imperial court later took over Chang'an, Zhong Qi's prestige among the people was still very high. For a long time after that, when people had disputes, they still refused to go to Jingzhao Mansion, but were willing to go to Zhong Qi
Mediation.”
Liu Xiu rubbed his chin and said: "For the stability of Chang'an, this Zhong Qi has made some achievements."
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true." At this point, Jing Zhaoyin glanced at Liu Xiu secretly and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty made a special trip to Jing Zhao Mansion for Zhong Qi, but...but what's the problem with this person?"
Liu Xiu did not hide anything and said bluntly: "I suspect that he is having an affair with Wei Xiao!"
