Just like this situation, A Chi felt that as long as he had a little bit of Ah Feng's bloody spirit, he should stand up like a hero, stand in front of everyone, and take this matter down.
Instead of being like now, huddled behind the clansmen like a mouse, using the flesh and blood of the clansmen to protect themselves from disasters.
Every time he thought about this, A Chi hated himself very much, but there was nothing he could do.
When the two sides were in a stalemate, a voice suddenly came from a distance: "Don't make any moves. If you have anything to say, speak slowly."
This voice not only spoke in Chinese, but also in the She dialect.
The She people and the government officials breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. After all, no one wanted to fight so inexplicably.
Luo Xianwei looked back and saw two people running one behind the other. The one running in front was Zhao Cheng, and behind him was the old man guarding the door.
As soon as Luo Xianwei saw Zhao Cheng, he immediately felt confident that he was an acquaintance anyway, and from the barbaric words he just spoke, he must be able to communicate with these barbarians.
"Is this Brother Zhao Xian here?"
Zhao Cheng managed to get here and took a quick glance. Using the light of the torches, he saw that all the She people had angry expressions on their faces, but they were bare-handed and had no weapons. This reassured him a little.
"It turns out to be Brother Luo. I wonder why there was a conflict?" Zhao Cheng first bowed his hands towards Luo Xianwei and his eyes fell on Sun An.
Luo Xianwei's attitude towards Zhao Cheng this time was different from his original attitude.
It turned out that he couldn't catch up with Bai Jingtao, so he wanted to get acquainted with Bai Jingtao's people and gradually got closer. Zhao Cheng happened to have an intersection with Bai Jingtao, so Luo Xianwei "accidentally met" Zhao Cheng and tried to make friends.
Now Zhao Cheng has passed a county examination and won the first prize. If there are no big problems in the government examination, he will definitely get the status of Gongsheng. The next step is the Qiu Wei exam, which is held every three years. Once he wins, he will be an official.
Therefore, Luo Xianwei treated Zhao Cheng more like a friend of equals. If you fail the provincial examination, you can work as a staff member by virtue of your status as a Gongsheng student. If you do well, you can also become an official.
In short, in Luo Xianwei's eyes, Zhao Cheng has changed from a stepping stone to a potential stock, so both his words and gestures are more sincere.
"Brother Zhao Xian, you are here. Stop these barbarians from acting recklessly!"
Zhao Cheng glanced at Ah Feng. This barbarian old man was obviously calm enough to suppress his tribesmen.
"It doesn't matter. Now that I'm here, they won't do anything again. But brother Luo, you should tell me what's going on first, right?"
Luo Xianwei glanced at Sun An and said: "This Mr. Sun... comes from the Bai Mansion in Shangjing. Because Mr. Bai's personal follower Mao Wu disappeared, Mr. Sun is here to track down the murderer."
"Oh?" Zhao Cheng asked, "Then why did you chase me into my warehouse?"
Luo Xianwei told Zhao Cheng the information about the carriage that Hong Yuankui had found, especially when the carriage was sold, someone saw the man wearing a barbarian hat.
"The next thing you saw is what you saw, dear brother. We came to look for suspicious criminals, but these barbarians openly beat the officials. It is simply a rebellion!"
"Brother Yu has already sent people to deploy troops. Backup will be here in a moment!" Because Zhao Cheng was here, Luo Xianwei felt a little more confident.
Zhao Cheng said: "Brother Luo, don't be in a hurry. Anyway, these barbarians are here, and none of them have left. If there is anything, you will know it as soon as you ask."
After saying that, Zhao Cheng walked up to Ahufeng and asked in She dialect: "What is going on?"
Ah Hufeng was anxious, so he spoke quickly and with a heavy accent. He said it twice, but Zhao Cheng couldn't hear him clearly.
At this time, A Chi spoke in the crowd and said to Zhao Cheng in She language: "They want to put all of us in prison!"
"But the people in Phoenix Mountain are waiting for us to go back, we can't stay here without knowing it!"
A Chi explained the cause and effect very clearly in just two sentences.
After Zhao Cheng thought for a while, he figured out the context of the matter. Bai Jingtao's personal follower Mao Wu disappeared in Qinghe County. Sun An of the Bai Mansion found clues. The carriage that had been in contact with Mao Wu was sold to the villagers, and the villagers saw That man had worn a barbarian turban.
So Sun An took the government officials to arrest all these barbarians in prison for questioning.
After Zhao Cheng understood, he said to Luo Xianwei: "Brother Luo, I understand what happened. I want to ask if I am right."
Of course, Luo Xianwei had to give Zhao Cheng this face: "Wonderful brother, please tell me."
Zhao Cheng pointed at these She people and said: "These people were ready to leave about five or six days ago. The reason why they haven't left yet is because there are still some things in my warehouse that have not been cleaned up."
"These barbarians eat and sleep in the warehouse every day and never go out. Moreover, I hired a cook to cook for them. This cook also serves as a janitor. Who of these barbarians goes out every day and what time they go out. Yes, just ask and you will know.”
As he spoke, Zhao Cheng waved to Shi Sheng: "Brother, come and tell these officials, have the barbarians been out in the past two days?"
Shi Sheng hurriedly knelt down and said, "I dare not lie to the eldest master. They have been staying in the warehouse these past few days and have not gone out."
Zhao Cheng asked again: "Then where can they eat easily?"
Shi Sheng replied: "Every day I cook for these dozen barbarians. They stay in the yard for convenience and don't go out at all."
Zhao Cheng said to Luo Xianwei: "Brother Luo, I asked these barbarians just now. They couldn't understand us, so they misunderstood and reacted a bit too much. Fortunately, it didn't lead to a big mistake."
"This matter is relatively simple. Shi Sheng's testimony can prove that these barbarians have not been out in the past few days. They have eaten, drank, and taken care of themselves in this warehouse and the yard. No one has gone out, so although they are barbarians, they have not gone out. Do something bad."
Zhao Cheng and Qinghe County, no, it can even be said that most people in the entire Chen Dynasty have different views on the barbarians.
Because he came from that era, when there were fifty-six ethnic republics, all descendants of the Yan and Huang people, and there was no distinction between barbarians and barbarians. Everyone was Chinese.
So on the day Yaji bought these She people, he didn't treat them as barbarians. Instead, he treated them as Chinese people just like himself. It was just that they spoke different languages, but they still had the same roots.
Zhao Cheng felt there was a problem with today's matter. The biggest problem was that A Chi.
He was the biggest suspect. Zhao Cheng remembered that Ahufeng told him that the main reason they came to Qinghe County was to look for and wait for Achi.
And how could this A Chi not even understand a word of Chinese after staying in Han for so many years?
Maybe, the missing Mao Wu is related to this A Chi.
But as an employer, Zhao Cheng was determined not to let Luo Xianwei arrest him.
