early morning.
The warm sun is shining, and the surrounding fields are silent.
Sun Yixie's carriage had already left Xuzhou City and entered the official road at the moment when the city gate was opened.
The person driving the car in front was still Lei Buji.
At this time, Lei Buji was quite energetic. He had good food, room and rest in the prison for the past two days, which was more leisurely than outside.
However, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai in the car were both swaying and falling asleep at this moment.
The two of them stayed up all night... After leaving Qiliu Youlan in the early morning, they immediately ran to the Yamen and got Lei Buji out of the prison. Then they took Buji back to the inn to change clothes and wash up. , fed the horse and hitched the cart, and then checked out and hit the road.
Obviously, not to mention a day and a half, they didn't want to stay in Xuzhou City for even a moment.
So...how did the old man settle his accounts with them a few hours ago?
It doesn't really matter.
After all the previous changes, the concubine's original purpose has changed.
He doesn't need Gu Qiying's notes; he doesn't need to care about the death of his "substitute"; he doesn't even need Sun Yixie and Huang Dong to "pay off the debt" immediately...
According to the concubine's original words: "Right now, I don't need you to do anything, and I don't need you to give me anything, but I have handed over you two 'friends', and you 'owe me', please also You remember."
Both Sun and Huang understood the weight and intention of these words...
There is no doubt that the concubine has regarded their future as more "valuable" than Gu Qiying's notes. When he plans to "realize" this value in the future, he will let them What Xie helped him do must be something more important and more difficult than could be done even with Gu Qiying's notes.
Now that things have happened, both Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai feel... It was better to just copy a part of Gu Qiying's notes to him before.
All debts in this world are easy to repay, but debts of gratitude are the most difficult to repay.
The concubine is someone who knows this very well; over the years, through this kind of mutual help between "friends", he has laid out countless chess pieces that can be used at critical moments in the arena, in the government and in the public.
Think about the "Gui Cha", the father of Miss Xue'er. He was such a powerful figure back then, but what happened to him because he owed a favor to his concubine? Even after death, it brings harm to his family...
Let's put it this way, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai will not feel at ease for a day until this debt is paid off; and considering that the uncle is probably up to some major conspiracy, they will most likely repay this favor in the future. There will still be "difficulties".
Therefore, their plan last night was actually not wrong. The final and final solution to this matter was to "kill the concubine".
But, now is not the time.
Today's Shuang Harmony really doesn't have the strength to accomplish this.
In terms of martial arts, power, and various other hard and hidden resources... none of them can be compared with the concubine; unless the concubine suddenly, like Gu Qiying and Shen Youran, openly rises up to oppose the entire martial arts world/the imperial court, Moreover, they planned and completed the fatal blow in advance, either intentionally or unintentionally... Otherwise, they had no chance of winning.
To sum up, at this stage, there is no problem between Shu Ye and Shuang Xie. If there is a problem, it is just a "misunderstanding".
…………
If there is a book, it will be long; if there is no book, it will be short.
During the day, the three of them were basically on the road and didn't encounter anything.
Sun and Huang got up after sleeping until noon, and then took the opportunity to talk to Lei Buji about what happened in the past two days.
Of course, they did not tell the whole truth, but consciously omitted all the parts about the "concubine"; they first told the story of Xue'er and Shui Sheng, and then said that Zhu Jiaduan found out that Zheng Mukai was worthy of death. After that, they forgot about it, and then they said that the "brothel owner" thought Shui Sheng Xue Er was pitiful, so he let them go, without mentioning the matter of Xue Er's self-destruction.
Anyway, Lei Buji is easy to deceive and won't go into details. He just believes what the two eldest brothers say, and the matter is over.
Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai did not tell Buji about the existence of "concubine", undoubtedly for his own good. If they told Lei Buji the ins and outs of everything in the past two days, with Buji's character, he would definitely feel that Sun Huang owed him something. The concubine's favor was because of himself, and he was immediately involved in it.
The three of them chatted all the way, and around midnight in the afternoon, they happened to arrive at a place called Liuzhuang. They saw that it was already getting late, and it might be too late to rush to a post station, so they decided to find an inn to stay.
Liuzhuang is a relatively large village, and there is at least a quite spacious inn in the village.
As soon as Lei Buji drove the carriage to the door of the inn, the waiter from the inn ran out, leading the horse and greeting people.
Even though he was a waiter in a small place, he had a good eye. As soon as he saw that the guest was riding a carriage, he knew that he was rich, so he greeted him with extra enthusiasm.
Everything was fine and there was nothing unusual at first, but I didn’t expect...
While he was talking, the younger brother glanced behind the carriage. The moment he caught sight of Brother Sun's trident, the expression on his face suddenly changed.
This is not over yet... His face changed. At first, his expression was just a little stiff, but after a few seconds, when he saw Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai walking out of the carriage, he simply showed anger and anger. disgust.
Immediately afterwards, he stopped leading the horse, said nothing, and suddenly turned around and ran back to the store.
Soon, a man who looked like a shopkeeper came out with him. Like him, he stared at Sun Yixie and Huang Dong, and then his face turned dark.
"You two..." The shopkeeper took two steps forward. Even though his demeanor and tone were disrespectful, he still made a gesture of cupping his fists and cupping his hands. "I'm sorry for being rude, but I dare to ask..." He paused and said in a deep voice. , "Are you two Shaoxia Sun, Sun Yixie, and Shaoxia Huang, Huang Donglai?"
When Sun and Huang heard this, they were very happy. They thought to themselves, are we both so famous now? If you go to any village or town and meet an innkeeper, can you recognize me?
"Ha... not bad." Sun Yixie immediately smiled and said, "I am Sun Yixie."
"Huang Donglai." Huang Donglai also smiled and continued.
They thought that after hearing this answer, the store owner would first exclaim, then praise them a lot, express his endless admiration, and then start a one-stop service of delicious food, drinks and housing.
Never imagined……
"Hmph!" They were greeted with a cold snort, "Okay! Two of them just ran away, and two more came... Good job!" The shopkeeper said this through gritted teeth, "Fellows Hey! Come quickly! Three of those grandson Qi who cheated people out of food, drinks and money are here again!"
After he roared, more than a dozen people from all over the neighborhood rushed out. Some of them had kitchen knives, hoes, and rolling pins in their hands. In the blink of an eye, they all rushed out. The carriage was surrounded.
Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Lei Buji were all dumbfounded. What is this? Black shop? No...Black Village? Even if it's a black shop, they have to wait until someone comes in before taking action. Why are they being ganked while they're still on the street?
"You're such a bitch! You're here, aren't you?" The shopkeeper's face turned red with anger, and all kinds of profanities came out, "I'm telling you...it's unlucky for you to come to our village today. We've already been there." You were fooled once! Everyone is still holding back your anger! Today you will take the beatings that the other two liars deserve on behalf of the other two liars, and then follow us to see the official!"
After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and pulled out a wooden stick from under the counter of the inn. The leader was about to come up and beat people.
The surrounding villagers were also excited, and a few brave ones were about to step forward and pull the three people off the carriage.
At this moment... Sun Yixie, who has rich experience in group fights, made a decisive decision and stepped forward.
All that was heard was that he shouted "**" violently, like a sudden thunder, like a dragon roaring and a dog roaring.
Before he finished shouting, Sun Yixie stepped forward and snatched the kitchen knife from the hand of the big man who rushed forward. Then he restrained the big man with one hand and put the kitchen knife against the big man's neck with the other hand.
"Who the hell dares to come here! I'll chop him to death first!" When Brother Sun said this, he suddenly removed the kitchen knife from the big man's neck, waved it twice at the other people in front, and then stabbed him again. Back to the neck of the hostage in his hand.
Not to mention...his hands are very effective.
Just his high-pitched roar had already silenced many people. Coupled with his murderous attitude and momentum, who would dare to step forward?
After all, the villagers are just villagers. Seeing that there are many people makes a big noise, but it is actually useless... If you ask them to catch a few petty thieves and adulterers, that is okay, but if you really meet a desperado , no one wants to be the leader and die.
"Brother...brother...don't...don't be impulsive..." The big man who was restrained by Sun Yixie just now was blowing his beard and staring like he wanted to eat someone. Now he was holding a knife by Sun Yixie. Then I felt my legs were weak, I was shaking when I spoke, and I almost peed my pants.
"Who the hell is your brother?" Sun Yixie ignored him, "Shut up! If you talk nonsense again, I'll take off your head!"
The big man is a cook himself, and he is skilled at killing chickens and fish. If you mention killing people to him, his scalp will go numb and he will quickly shut up.
"You...what are you doing? If you can't cheat, why don't you kill?" The shopkeeper had already retreated to the inn door, half of his body was hidden behind the door frame and shouted to them.
"Fart!" Now that the situation was like this, Sun Yixie didn't care about respecting the old and loving the young. He glared at the old man and scolded him, "Dozens of you guys gathered around and you're going to beat them indiscriminately. How dare you say that I want to kill someone? This is called self-defense!"
Although he has a bad attitude, his words are reasonable.
If Sun Yixie was not around and Huang Donglai and Lei Buji were to handle today's matter, they would most likely suffer a loss. Although it was not difficult to control these villagers with their abilities, one of them used poison and the other They are too stunned, and they will most likely cause casualties if they take action... And if they insist on not wanting to hurt these people, they will have to be beaten. If they are unlucky, they may become disabled.
Only Sun Yixie, who had been through the fish market with swords and swords, knew best what fighting in the market was like, and knew how to control such a scene.
"Hey." After a breath, seeing that the situation was temporarily stable, Sun Yixie called Huang Donglai in a low voice and winked.
Although he didn't say anything, Huang Donglai looked at him and immediately understood what he meant.
The next second, Huang Donglai climbed up half a step, raised his fists and raised his hands in a half circle, saying loudly: "Fellow folks, we are passing through this place with no ill intentions, and we don't want to hurt anyone, but I don't know why you are attacking us and others." , I hope you can teach me."
They were fighting first and then being polite. Brother Sun first used a gangster approach to control the situation, and then Brother Huang came out to pretend to be polite and give the other party a little softness - in this way, one would be a good person and the other a bad person, so that it would be easier to resolve the conflict.
As soon as Huang Donglai said this, the villagers also became confused. Everyone looked at the innkeeper. Originally... you were the one who called us out. If you take the blame, it's you who takes the blame.
The shopkeeper thought about it and realized that this guy who was "fake Huang Donglai" spoke politely and seemed to be reasonable and able to communicate, so he said, "You said... are you Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai?"
When he thought and asked this question, he didn't put himself in his shoes and think about it. Are his words and deeds just now unreasonable?
Of course, since Sun Yixie has taken control of the situation, that doesn't matter anymore.
"Yes, I am Huang Donglai." Huang Donglai asked, "What's wrong?"
Actually, now that we have calmed down and thought about what the shopkeeper said before, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai have roughly guessed what happened to Liuzhuang, but they still hope to confront each other face to face and talk things out, so as not to avoid those around them. There are still some people in the village who are confused about the situation.
So, the shopkeeper told everything in detail about how his village entertained another couple "Sun Yixie" and "Huang Donglai" a few days ago...
Those two swindlers were also cowardly. In addition to giving them free food and accommodation in the inn, they also deceived many villagers, saying that they wanted to teach their children martial arts, that they wanted to establish a sect in the village, and that they wanted to teach their children martial arts. You need to do business here, buy land, buy houses, etc., and do all kinds of things to the villagers.
When these villagers heard that two young talents who had just become famous in Luoyang were so interested in their village, they naturally fawned over them, serving them all kinds of good wine and food, and giving money and gifts to every household... ...in exchange for the various "benefits" promised by those two scammers.
Unexpectedly, just this morning, when the waiter went to deliver food to the fake Sun Yixie and the fake Huang Donglai as usual, he found that the two people and their luggage were gone...
All kinds of money and gifts they had collected over the past few days...except for some things that were really not very valuable and were too heavy, they took away everything they could.
Only then did the villagers realize that these two people were not liars, right?
But if you try to catch up, you won't be able to catch up...
These two swindlers were well prepared. They had deliberately waited until midnight every day before getting up again, and repeatedly asked the waiter not to wake them up early in the morning. In fact, they were all preparing for their escape. Just the night before, the two The scammers took advantage of the darkness and came downstairs. The hooves of the two horses they rode were wrapped with cloth to muffle the sound of the horses' hooves. Then they took all the money they had deceived and rode all night, slowly. Slowly and quietly slipped out of the village. After leaving the village, they took off the cloth from the horses' hooves and started galloping... So when the waiter discovered that the two people were missing, they had already been running away for most of the day.
What else could the villagers do in the next half day? Just blame each other.
Everyone can imagine those words - "I blame you. I only believed it when I heard you say they must be. If I had met these two liars first, I would never have been deceived."
Most people who are deceived are like this. One day they were in a state of "helping others to pay after being sold", but the next day it is all hindsight. If you want to make him/her anxious, he/she may not They would also say that the other party used a medicine that would make him/her obedient and give away the money by tapping him/her on the shoulder. This is why such a shrewd and upright person like him/her fell into the trap.
Anyway...
After hearing about someone pretending to be themselves and cheating, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai definitely couldn't bear it. Even if they could bear it, Lei Buji couldn't bear it.
No matter what other things they have, the matter in front of them must be solved first, otherwise it will be like a thorn in the back and a fish in the throat.
This leads to the story - "Sun Yixie" was wronged and died in the hall, and "Huang Donglai" slipped and died in the feces.
