Chapter 44: A visitor comes from afar

Red is eye-catching at any time and anywhere.

Especially in the peaceful Feixue Lane, it is even more eye-catching.

Shen Xiaojia, who was dressed in a red shirt, and Jiang Baotou, who was dressed in a blood shirt, walked side by side to the government office. They talked to each other in the strange eyes of everyone, just like two idle people with nothing to do.

"This alley gives me a very strange feeling," Jiang Captou saw a child making a face at him. He touched his waist out of habit, but found nothing. He sighed, "It's better than this in Kyoto."

There are many big alleys, and there are many more prosperous alleys than this one, but none is more reassuring than this alley... At the feet of the Emperor, isn't it more secure than in front of the Yamen of Yuecheng Mansion?"

"Perhaps it is also at the feet of the emperor. Accompanying him is like accompanying a tiger." Shen Xiaojia took a bunch of sugar-coated haws on a stick and handed it to the kid who was making a grimace towards the river with a warm smile. "Everyone is here."

Living cautiously, walking on thin ice, how can there be peace of mind and comfort?"

"I also passed by Qingshan City when I came here. There is no street there like Feixue Lane. The streets in front of Qingshan City Government Office are extremely clean and there is no noise at all, let alone people shouting and grabbing business."

"That's because the people here have a bright future if they set up stalls and sell in front of their government offices, while the people in Qingshan City will only have trouble if they make noise in front of their government offices."

Jiang Captou touched his mustache and said with doubts on his face, "It shouldn't be. As far as I know, the Shen family's general Shen Jingbing was stationed here, and then during the Tianqi period, Shen Rong, the captain of Longxiao School in Kyoto, was transferred here.

, The Shen family has been operating in Yuecheng for three generations. Some time ago, Shen Rong even handed a note to the emperor, saying that he wanted his son Shen Qi to inherit his position... Yuecheng has obviously become the property of his Shen family, and the mansion

The government office is just a decoration, Shen Rong is like the emperor of Yuecheng... Then the question is, why do the people here feel at ease?"

"Under Pu Tian, ​​could it be Wang Tu? It turns out that you came to Yuecheng for the Shen family. I thought you also wanted my life..." Shen Xiaojia did not directly answer Jiang Baotou's words, and said with a flat mouth.

, "Master Qianhu, people in this world must follow rules and cannot do whatever they want. The people of Feixue Lane are like this, you and I are like this, how can the Shen family be an exception? Even if they are powerful, even if they are powerful,

Their armor is strong, but if they don't follow the rules, it will be difficult for them to survive in this moon city."

"Oh? What's the rule?"

"A little furry rule... If the skin is not attached, how can the hair be left? If there are no common people in the city this month, it will be difficult for the Shen family to live alone. Without the common people, who will grow food for them? Without the common people, who will provide food for them?"

They make wine, and without the common people, who will make candied haws for them... I spent three years teaching the people of Yuecheng to use this rule, so they have peace of mind in Feixue Lane."

Jiang Captou's face was solemn, and he looked at Shen Xiaojia blankly from the side, murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he said in a cold voice, "What a waste of time! People like you are heroes in troubled times. They can only be friends, not enemies.

"

"I thought we were friends now, friends who have experienced life and death..." Shen Xiaojia said with a smile, "Master Qianhu, you know why I almost escaped death, so I immediately rushed back to the government office to find someone in the prison.

Have a heart-to-heart talk?”

"Because tomorrow is your three-day limit?"

"No, the three-day limit is tomorrow after all. Even if you are in a hurry, you can take a break. There is no need to work so non-stop..."

"Because you are worried that someone will harm the suspects in the prison?"

"That's not right. No matter how stupid those people are, they won't be stupid enough to break into the prison and kill people. If I try to catch a turtle in a urn for them, wouldn't they be stealing the chicken but losing the rice?"

"Why is that?"

"Because I want to understand a truth..." Shen Xiaojia said with his nostrils pointing to the sky, "My adults are so powerful, why should I be so timid? After a battle in the ink-making workshop, who dares to kill me? Who can kill me! I just want to do it.

Dangling in front of their eyes, I just like to see them looking frustrated and unable to get rid of me!"

For some reason, Jiang Baotou suddenly had the urge to beat Shen Xiaojia violently at this moment, but he finally sighed helplessly, "That's right, with the Nine-Life Cat God guarding you, plus the other three on the Tianzi Killer List,

There is really no one in this world who can really hurt you..."

"Of course, showing off is just a very superficial level. The deeper level is that I want to seek justice for the dead as soon as possible. I want to reason with those self-righteous powerful people... Why can they kill whoever they want?

, Bully whoever you want to bully!" Shen Xiaojia exhaled a long breath, pointed at Aunt Li who was selling vegetables, and said angrily, "In the third year of the Apocalypse, Aunt Li's husband had an affair with a rich man in Yuecheng.

After a few quarrels with her subordinates, she was thrown into the Spring River the next day. It was freezing cold, and her husband became an ice sculpture celebrating the New Year in Yuecheng that year..."

Shen Xiaojia then pointed to the melon farmer selling large crispy watermelons, "In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Uncle Chen originally opened a grain store. His family of five was happy and happy. However, because he refused to cooperate with some people's increase in grain prices, his family was destroyed overnight..."

Turning around and pointing at the fortune teller Chen Xiazi, "In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Chen Xiazi was not yet a blind man. He was a graceful scholar. He helped others fight a lawsuit with passion and offended the Shen family's retainers. With a few tricks, he was

Life is dug out..."

"There is also Hu Sansheng of Sansheng Restaurant. He was supposed to have a lovely little wife, but his love was stolen from him and his fiancée was humiliated to death in front of him!"

"The mutton noodles next to the government office are not bad... The boss is from out of town. The couple originally had a five-year-old son. When they entered the city, they cried loudly and disturbed the purity of the city lord. The five-year-old son

The child was thrown from the city gate..."

The veins on Jiang's forehead gradually swelled, and his face became increasingly ugly. He said in a deep voice, "Don't they know there is still a king's law in this world?"

"Wang Fa is too far away from them and can't be seen..." Shen Xiaojia patted Jiang Baotou on the shoulder and said with an upward smile, "Adults, don't be angry. Wang Fa can't help them, but I can help them... So Aunt Li said

Vegetable stall, Chen Xiazi tells fortunes for people, Hu Sansheng’s lotus stamens have become the most popular wine in Yuecheng, and the mutton noodle restaurant will soon usher in a new life... Everyone has started a new life, and their days are going smoothly.

It’s getting better and better, and coupled with the rules I mentioned earlier, the rich and powerful have also begun to pay attention to their food and appearance, and there is Feixue Lane in front of them.”

Jiang Baotou suddenly stood up, bowed solemnly to Shen Xiaojia, and said generously, "Brother Xiaojia, please accept my courtesy!"

"Eh! I can't do it, I can't do it..." Shen Xiaojia quickly helped Jiang Baotou up, pretending not to care, "I didn't think much about it. I just saw an uneven road, so I drew my knife and shoveled it.

Just try your best to make this world better and better!"

Jiang Captou looked at Shen Xiaojia's sincere expression, his eyes heated up and said, "Brother Xiaojia has such a great talent, he really shouldn't settle for being a small catcher in Yuecheng. If you have any ideas, I can recommend you to go to Kyoto."

…”

Shen Xiaojia tilted his neck, as if waiting for Jiang Captou's words, his eyes lit up and said, "What to do?"

Jiang Captou was stunned for a moment and said calmly, "Of course it's the Jin Yiwei..."

"What official?" Shen Xiaojia blinked and said, "I heard that Jin Yiwei's clothes are divided into three types, the python suit, the flying fish suit and the bullfight suit. Can you help me get a majestic five-clawed python suit?"

"It's not impossible..." Jiang Captou's face trembled, he stared at Shen Xiaojia's crotch, and said with a strange expression, "It's not difficult to get into a five-clawed python suit with your ability, but anyone wearing a python suit is...

He is the Grand Eunuch who serves in front of the Emperor. Are you sure you want to cut off the roots of the mortal world with your sword just to wear a python suit?"

Shen Xiaojia's face stiffened, he coughed dryly, and laughed, "It's just a joke. Actually, I understand, I'm trying to tease you...I don't have any big ambitions. I eat, drink, and have fun every day, and live my life in a mediocre way."

It will be good for a lifetime, so I appreciate your kindness, but it is not necessary to go to Kyoto to be an official. If I have nothing to do in the future, I can travel to Kyoto and enjoy a meal with you."

"It's okay, many people are originally pure white jade, but when they go to Kyoto, they are dyed jet black." Jiang Captou pondered for a moment, nodded in agreement, "It's better to stay out of it and live a happy life... Okay! Here we go.

As long as you arrive in Kyoto, I will treat you to the best hotpot mutton, drink the strongest chrysanthemum wine, and visit the most beautiful brothel!"

"Let's forget about the chrysanthemum wine. I'm a little sensitive to those two words..." Shen Xiaojia cleared his throat, put his hands on his hips, stared at the door of the government office just around the corner, put away the smile on his face, and said with a cold expression.

, "Sir Qianhu, do you dare to go to the prison with the boy and see the ruthless methods of the devil?"

Jiang Captou curled his mustache with his thumb and index finger, stood beside Shen Xiaojia, and uttered a few words clearly, "Fortunately enough!"

As soon as the words fell, the two of them stepped into the gate of the government office together and walked towards the prison.

After Shen Xiaojia and Jiang Batou disappeared from the government office gate, Shi Yan, dressed in green shirt, suddenly walked out of the mutton noodle shop with a bowl of mutton noodles. He glanced at the government office gate and muttered, "They are not dead.

You really have a tough life..." He turned back to the noodle shop and stood next to a bearded customer who was squatting on a stool eating noodles. While sucking the noodles, he said casually, "I treat you to the best.

In front of me, you are dressed like a swordsman, it’s time to return my favor..."

The bearded man quickly sucked the remaining noodles in the bowl into his mouth, then picked up the bowl and took a big mouthful of noodle soup. He wiped his mouth with his sleeve and pressed a long knife on the table with his scarred right hand.

Go up, the tiger's eyes burned, "Where is the fastest knife in this city?"

"In Zuiyue Tower..." Shi Yan said with a gentle smile, "However, I want to remind you that there are not only the fastest knives there, but also a thread, a sword, and two eight-cut knives."
