Looking at the tall gate of Luochuan City, Jiang Ergou couldn't calm down.
Luochuan City, as the richest Lingzhou city in Dachu, is already one of the most magnificent cities in the world. Jiang Ergou is just an independent person who has lived in the mountains for a long time and only entered the rivers and lakes. Naturally, he has never seen such a magnificent city.
.
At the gate of the city, there are two rows of city guards standing neatly. Although they are not standing well, their physiques are very strong. It seems that they are veterans who have retired from the border, and the murderous look in their eyebrows has not been completely absorbed by Luo Luo.
Overshadowed by the prosperity of Sichuan City.
Outside the city gate, there are countless small stalls selling low-quality rice wine, cooked beef and other snacks.
The crowd was crowded, the business was very good, and every boss' face was full of smiles. Even if one or two oily men teased their mother-in-law, they would only scold him a few words to get rid of the problem. Don't dare to make a mistake.
Own business.
…
"Two dogs, two dogs."
The old man's faint voice reached Ergou's ears, pulling him back from the shock.
"Haha, you haven't seen it before! You must be scared!"
"You're the one who's scared. I'm just curious. Why is the city repairman so high? You're already in the hinterland of Lingzhou, are you still worried about someone coming?"
"Is this considered high? Ergou, then you really have never seen the world. If you say that Luochuan City is prosperous and rich, I have nothing to say, old man. After all, Lingzhou is the place with the most money in the world. The annual tax revenue is higher than that of Liao, Jin Er
There are more than the total number of prefectures. But to say it is tall, the city located on the border of Liao and Jin prefectures is not taller and more powerful than it! Not to mention the capital of Xijing in Bianzhou."
"Old man, blow it off. If you say it's higher than this city, I believe it. If it's much higher, I'll ask you how you built it up."
"How do I know how it was repaired? It wasn't me who repaired it. If you don't believe it, forget it. You can see it for yourself in the future. You will be shocked."
While the two were talking, the convoy had already arrived at a relatively clean and spacious teahouse. A large convoy like theirs had to be registered when entering the city. Otherwise, if something happened, the government and the people from the six doors would come up.
Where can I arrest someone?
Ergou actually really wanted to see how people in the Jianghu conflict, for example, fighting to death because of one or two table seats. But Qin Yi obviously didn't give him a chance. He registered normally and paid a certain amount of silver.
Came back to greet the convoy into the city.
Of course, what Ergou expected, the scene written in the storybook in which the city defenders made things difficult for the Jianghu people but the heroes rose up to fight back and killed them, did not happen.
There are so many stories in the world! If there were, it was from the past. After the Six Sects came to dominate the world, except for the real first-class masters, the rest have been polished to the point of losing their temper.
When entering the city, Qin Yi quietly gave the guard squad leader a small red envelope, and smiled and said he would let the brothers have a bowl of wine. The squad leader did not refuse, which was considered as spending money to buy peace.
After entering the city, the escort found a small courtyard to stay in an inn, and then they were busy selling the goods they brought this time, and then bought some goods that were in short supply in Yuzhou and brought them back. The two brothers Qin Yi and Qin Xuejian
Then he went to see the Lingzhou Sima without stopping, taking the letter of introduction and Ye Mingzhu with him.
Generally speaking, this kind of job of delivering items is relatively easy, as long as you bring it to the right place, it will be safe.
Unlike goods, you have to worry about whether you can sell them after you bring them to a place. If you can't, you have to take the goods back, and the business is considered a loss.
The entire escort agency was busy, leaving only the master and apprentice who had nothing to do and were bored in the inn.
"Old man, why don't you go out for a walk? This inn is too boring."
"Why are you shopping? Do you have money? If you don't have money, don't go out to this place like Lingzhou. It will save you the embarrassment."
"I'm just going out to see who I can lose. Come on, old man. It's my first time traveling around the world and I can't just stay in the inn!"
Finally, Ergou's persistent stalking was effective, and the old man agreed to take him out for a look.
By the time they came out of the inn, it was almost dark. However, the excitement in Luochuan City had just begun.
As Luochuan City is said to be more prosperous than Xijing City in Kyoto, countless pedestrians come and go, and the streets and alleys are full of jugglers, men, and vendors who keep yelling.
Even local people living in Luochuan City will come out to take a look. For them, after a hard day's work, this is the only time they can relax a little and appreciate the pride of being locals in Luochuan City.
.
Of course, in such a complicated environment, the most important thing you should do is to hold on to your wallet.
Those thieves and pickpockets, after being trained in a chaotic environment like Luochuan City, have already become proficient in cloud detection. Once they succeed, they will find nothing in this dense crowd.
Even if you are lucky enough to find it, it is useless. In Luochuan City, most thieves have gang organizations and often commit crimes in groups. By the time you find out, your money has been divided into several parts and sent back to the gang through different routes.
Inside.
In this situation, it's useless to report it to the police, let alone what they will do if they refuse to admit it. Most of their superiors have connections with the local squad leaders, patrol officers, cell leaders, etc.
If you meet someone who has no background, I can give you a few words of advice, and treat it as a loss of money. If you meet someone with some background, throw the person who stole the money into the jail, and he will be released after three to five days. As for the money, you are
Don't want to come back.
As for the stolen money, the thieves and pickpockets will keep some of it themselves, the gangs will keep some of it, and some of it will be sent to honor the father-in-law and the policeman on duty.
There are so many things here.
Therefore, the same rivers and lakes can support hundreds of people in the rivers and lakes. Everyone seeks a life in the rivers and lakes, and there is always a way to survive.
Ergou was walking arrogantly on the road when a child bumped into his arms. Not only did he not check his money bag immediately, but he also supported the child and asked him to be careful. This is not appropriate for a charlatan.
White.
It's just a pity for Ergou. He managed to get seven or eight taels of silver from the corpse, but he couldn't spend it, so he got an advantage from the thief. No matter how closely Feng hid it, he was still beaten by the hateful thief with a cloud-detecting hand.
Got it away.
The old man looked at all this from behind and did not remind him. He felt that it would be good to let this idiot apprentice suffer some losses. It was better to know the dangers of the world than to risk his life in the future.
The old man came up from behind him and stood side by side with him, as if he had remembered something important. As for the thief, he naturally forgot about it.
"Boy, do you know what are the three most taboo people in this world?"
"Hey, old man, what new tricks have you come up with? It's more interesting than a picture novel. Tell me."
"This is not a new trick. I tell you that you can save your life in the future. These three types of people are the elderly, children and women."
"Why! Old man, I will take care of the people you mentioned without you taking action."
"Look at you, what people want is for you to think like this. Let me ask you, even if you can deal with them, how do you know it is them who want to harm you? By the time you react, the knife will be stuck in your heart.
Okay. It is precisely because these three types of people seem harmless to humans and animals that you need to be most careful. They might be the killers who come to take your life."
At this moment, an old woman holding a seven- or eight-year-old child happened to pass by them. Somehow, she twisted her legs and leaned towards Ergou.
Ergou could only stretch out his hand to support her, and then let go after she stood firm. The old woman bowed to Ergou to express her gratitude.
The two dogs returned the favor with a smile, and waited until the old woman walked away with the child in her arms, then turned around and looked at the old man.
"Go on! I'm listening."
"I said you are a big-headed ghost."
The old man jumped up angrily and slapped Jiang Ergou hard on the head.
This time he was not as merciful as before, the slap was firm.
"Old man, just tell me why you hit me. I'll tell you, don't think I'm easy to bully."
"I've been talking for a long time, did you listen?"
"Why didn't you listen? I'm just careful of the old and the young.
Children and women, I’m listening to them all!”
"Listen? Then let me ask you, why weren't you careful about the old woman who bumped into you just now?"
"Old man, it's not that serious. You hit me just because of this? This is too much of a fuss. I think that lady is quite nice and she even thanked me. It's not as bad as you said. Besides, how can she be so?
A polite killer."
"It's not that bad! Haha! Just now, she had at least three chances to kill you. The first time was when she fell towards you and she could stab you to death with one knife. The second time was when you stupidly helped her.
How can you stop me from killing you now? The third time, when she saluted you, the child in her arms was so close to you, and she stabbed you, and you would have died as well."
"Old man, I told you, there aren't that many killers. When you were talking to me just now, the old woman just happened to bump into me. It's not as mysterious as you said. According to what you said, she had three chances to kill.
I, why am I okay!"
"The woman just now, her hands holding the child are so unnatural, she doesn't often hold children. She has such thick calluses on her fingers and palms. At first glance, she looks like someone who often holds a knife. As for the child, she is about to fall down.
You're on the ground, but you're not worried at all. A pair of eyes are staring at you. It's so obvious, can't you tell?"
"Old man, the more you talk, the more mysterious you become."
"You still don't believe it, but I think that old woman just heard the conversation between you and me and came here to teach you a lesson."
"Old man, stop talking. I won't believe it unless I see it with my own eyes."
"Okay, okay, you won't shed tears until you see the coffin, right? Then we'll follow and have a look."
After saying that, the two sped up and followed the old woman's footsteps to catch up.
In the crowded crowd, pedestrians were jostling each other. Since both the master and the apprentice had great skills, they quickly caught up with the old woman from before.
The old woman was holding her child and walking forward step by step. There were too many pedestrians and the old woman was too weak. The old woman could only stumble forward.
"Old man, look at this old lady, she can't even walk unsteadily. Can she lift a knife? Can she kill someone?"
"Just watch, don't let your jaw drop in shock later."
About thirty meters in front of the old man, there was a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes, followed by two people who looked like guards.
The old woman was slowly approaching the three men. When the old woman reached the middle-aged man, she was exactly the same as when she was next to the two dogs.
At this time, the middle-aged man's first reaction was to help him. But the two guards behind him used their thumbs to hold the knife half an inch away. They seemed to be two good guards.
At the moment when the middle-aged man was helping her, it was just as the old man said: the woman suddenly took out a dagger and stabbed the middle-aged man in the chest. Fortunately, the guards beside her were well prepared. This would be fatal to the middle-aged man.
The attack failed.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened, and the child in the woman's arms actually took out a dagger and stabbed it. The guard wanted to step forward to resist, but the old woman holding the child suddenly threw the child up.
, stopped two guards alone.
Unexpectedly, this old woman, who appears to be powerless on the surface, is secretly a fourth-level master.
The child was not simple at all. After being thrown up, not only did he not fall down, but he was stuck in the air. The dagger stabbed the middle-aged man again. The intensity of the internal force exploded was not inferior to that of the old woman. It seemed that he was also four.
A master of quality.
This time, no one was able to stop the middle-aged man. For him, who could only read books about sages and never learn martial arts, he could only watch the dagger pass through his chest and fly into the air with a flash of bright red.
Over there, the two guards were only at level 5 strength. If the old woman wanted to play with them, she could still get through a few moves, but it was obviously not the time now. Within a few moves, they would go down together to find the middle-aged man.
Already.
The child returned to the old woman's arms. The woman held the child and ignored the people around her who were frightened by the murder. She walked leisurely towards a dark alley. It was as if they were not the ones who had just killed someone.
Before entering the alley, she turned around and took a look. Where she looked, it was Jiang Ergou.
The two dogs were instantly horrified and had goosebumps all over their bodies.
