Seeing that the matter was exposed, the man stopped pretending and took out a dagger from his arms, but before he could swing it.
Lin Yue kicked him and kicked him out.
The other two, pretending to be passers-by, pulled out the machetes hidden under the table and slashed at Song Che while shouting.
Lin Yue took out the silver whip from her waist, wrapped it around the shanty stakes, and pulled hard, "Crash..." The simple shanty collapsed instantly, burying all three gangsters.
When the gangster emerged from the thatch, Song Che's musket and Lin Yue's sword had been waiting for a long time.
"If you dare to move a finger, I will make your head bloom." Song Che said coldly.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense with them? Kill them to eliminate harm for the people!"
Lin Yue raised his sword and was about to strike, but the man quickly begged for mercy: "Sir, spare your life, we are not bandits, we were ordered to set up an ambush here!"
Song Che frowned and asked coldly: "Who?"
But the guy shook his head: "We don't know who it is, the three of us brothers just collect money to do things..."
"When I walked around the world, you were still wearing crotchless pants! Do you think I don't know my rules? If you buy a murderer and kill someone, you pay half of the reward first, and then you pay the other half of the reward when you succeed!"
Lin Yue put the sword against the man's throat and scolded: "If you dare to be careless again, I will slit your throat. I will do what I say!"
"Yelai Inn!"
The waiter blurted out and added: "Just last night, a man wearing a mask came to our door. He gave us two hundred taels of silver and said that a carriage would pass by this road today. On the carriage sat a big man and a man. Three pretty boys, as long as we bring the big man's head to Yuelai Inn, we can get another three hundred taels of bounty.
Hero, that's all I really know. You also understand the rules of the world. People in our industry never ask who the employer is! "
The three villains kowtowed together and begged for mercy.
Lin Yue looked at Song Che.
If it is just to rob money, it can be beaten severely, but it can also escalate to murder. Cutting the grass without eradicating the roots will cause endless troubles.
Song Che's eyes turned cold, he hugged Shen Wenjun and Qin Ruo and walked towards the carriage. When they were far away, he turned back and said:
"Try to be a good person in the next life."
"Uh-huh!"
Lin Yue swung his sword and three heads fell to the ground.
…
After all, life was at stake and it was an unknown enemy, so the atmosphere in the car couldn't help but be tense.
"Could it be Lu Ji's group that did it?" Shen Wenjun guessed.
Song Che shook his head, "These three people are here to kill us, while Scarface's group just wants to snatch you back to Lu Ji."
Shen Wenjun gritted his teeth, "Throughout this journey, our true gender and name have never been revealed, and we have never forged any blood feud. Who is going to kill us?"
Song Che was also very puzzled. Looking at the entire Daliang, the only person who could really be regarded as having a grudge against him was Yang Song.
This guy Yang Song has not been seen since the last time on She Island. With the crimes he committed, how dare he set foot on the border of Daliang again?
Could it be the hatred that was inadvertently planted?
"In my opinion, we should not enter Jiangling City to avoid causing trouble."
"He already wants my life. If I don't kill him, I won't be able to feel at ease all the way!"
Song Che's eyes hardened.
He can tolerate anything, but the safety of his family is the absolute bottom line. Not to mention touching, even if it is just making excuses, you must pay the price.
afternoon,
As the sun sets westward, we arrive at Jiangling City.
Song Che specially arranged for Shen Wenjun and Qin Ruo to live in the official post office. The official post office is where officials go to work on business trips. There are post guards guarding them day and night, which is enough to ensure safety.
He and Lin Yue each put on a mask and went to the "Yelai Inn" to find out the truth.
Song Che specially opened a guest room facing the street in Yuelai Inn. At this moment, he and Lin Yue were standing by the window, carefully looking at the guests coming in and out.
However, due to the impending holiday, there were too many tourists coming to the inn to eat and stay, and the "employer" was unrecognizable to them, so it was not easy to find him.
"The business of this inn is so good. The guests coming and going make my eyes dazzled." Lin Yue said, rubbing his eyes.
"That means he's around here."
Song Che said: "If the gangsters who ambushed us before are really successful, they will bring their two heads to this inn to trade. The area in front of us is so prosperous. The employer must not be careless. Even if he does not keep an eye on it personally, he will send someone Always watch.”
He glanced at Lin Yue with a smile, "So, with Queen Lin's many years of experience in traveling around the world, can you tell which suspects are around here?"
Lin Yue'e frowned slightly, pursed her lips, looked carefully for a moment, and pointed around:
"The sweet soup seller on the right has a sinister look, and he doesn't look like a good person at first glance. Well... the noodle stall owner on the left has his head shaking, maybe he is looking for a target... and there is the alley. Those leprechauns in Kou are idle and idle, so they are the perfect ones to be used as thugs, and maybe they are the ones."
Song Che shook his head and said, "Since someone is sent to keep a lookout, how can he be a hawker? Look at the sweet soup seller, he is busy with his hands; and the noodle vendor, when a girl passes by, he will go to her. The bright eyes on the buttocks are obviously for probing; as for those leprechauns, how can they leave matters concerning human life to such unreliable people?"
He looked at Lin Yue again, smiled and raised his eyebrows, "You have been walking around for many years like this? One day you were cheated, and you still helped others count their money,"
Lin Yue crossed her arms and snorted, "Isn't that because I was deceived by you and still helped you count your money, beat up bad guys, drive your carriage, and warm your bed? Humph..."
At this time,
Directly opposite the Yuelai Inn, there was a drugstore called "Jichuntang". Two shopkeepers beat and scolded a poor father and daughter and drove them away:
"Go, go, don't come for medical consultation if you don't have money, and don't even look where this is. The medicines from our Zhang Family Pharmacy can equal your annual harvest!"
The fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl wearing patches cried and knelt down in front of the waiter: "Brother, please do a good job. My father's illness cannot be delayed any longer. Please ask the miracle doctor to take a look at him! As long as he can Cure my father’s disease and I’ll be willing to work as a cow or a horse!”
"Hey, if you are really willing to do anything, I will show you a clear path," the clerk said jokingly, pointing to the end of the street: "There is a 'Xiaoyao Pavilion' over there, which specially accepts young girls like you, where can you go?" Exchange some money for the consultation fees and decoction fees, and I will definitely treat you as a distinguished guest!"
"Daughter, dad doesn't see the doctor anymore, dad doesn't see the doctor anymore..."
The father and daughter hugged each other and cried, but just across the street, at the Yuelai Inn, the cost of a good meal and good food could save them from their suffering.
The well-dressed guests ate with their mouths full and drank heartily.
Coming in a hurry, going in a hurry, the bustling street became so deserted because of the crying, and the hot and dry air became so moist because of the tears.
Regardless of whether it is ancient or modern, poor people cannot afford to get sick.
