Chapter 3: Disaster comes from the mouth
The autumn is clear and refreshing, and it is the time when river crabs are fat.
Shuangxie and Lei Buji, who entered Xuzhou City, first went to the inn to put down their luggage, carriage and horses, and then decided to go out to eat crabs.
This is the second time that Sun Huang Er◇Early 2018 ◆List people have come to Xuzhou. The last time they came, they watched a competition between "Kaifeng Three-Armed Sword" and "Scorpion Tail Gun" here, and even opened a handicap next to them. As a result, a masked man came to disrupt the situation, the final game ended, which made the two of them work in vain for a long time.
Now that the young hero will visit his hometown again after participating in the competition, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai can't help but feel that Zheng Mukai and Ge Shi are too naughty.
What kind of three-armed sword scorpion tail gun is? Liu Yikong may not be powerful. Among the semi-finals of this Heroes Club, except Brother Sun... there is something wrong with that, right... Which of the other three, isn't it not to beat Zheng Ge?
So, when they sat down to have a meal, the first thing they did was to start swearing the slap in the competition with Lei Buji.
Huang Donglai is very good at speaking. If Sun Yixie makes jokes and makes nonsense next to him, they are like talking about crosstalk. When Brother Huang talks alone, it is similar to stand-up.
Lei Buji listened to Huang Donglai's vivid description, and felt that he was interested in it. He also interrupted and asked a question from time to time, which made Huang Donglai feel more and more excited.
Once this person drinks some alcohol, his voice will be a little louder, and as soon as he gets excited, he will add a little more.
When he came to his senses, Huang Donglai was already sitting on a railing, stepping on a stool with one foot, holding a wine glass with one hand and chopsticks with the other, talking and gestureing.
And his performance unknowingly attracted a group of onlookers...
The restaurant they went to was neither good nor bad. It was a store with a high attendance rate but not so cheap that anyone could eat. This restaurant was undoubtedly chosen by Sun Yixie. He knew exactly which level of restaurant can eat the most cost-effective river crabs in a fish market.
Some of the people around who came to watch Huang Donglai's "storytelling" were still sitting in their original positions, but turned their heads to look at them, and some of them had almost finished eating. They simply brought a stool and sat closer to listen. Some of them even had good things who had watched the ring competition at the beginning, and even sat aside and spoke with Huang Donglai, singing and reconciling, which was so lively.
It was clearly a competition that could be finished in just a few words. Huang Donglai said a lot of things, and the content was quite interesting. There were many things that only people in the martial arts world knew about. The people didn’t know much, but they felt very novel when they heard it.
However... as the saying goes, disaster comes from the mouth.
Some people like to listen to Huang Donglai's words, but some people don't like to listen to them.
Who doesn't like to listen?
party……
When Sun Huang and Lei Buji walked into the restaurant, they did not notice that Zheng Mukai, the "Kaifeng Three-Armed Sword", sat in a corner on the second floor, sitting with two young men younger than him, drinking and having a meal.
A coincidence?
Coincidentally, but it is also normal.
Zheng Mukai is the head of the Kaifeng Prefecture Guanghang Escort Agency. Kaifeng is not far from Xuzhou. He goes out to escorts. Anyone who goes south must pass by Xuzhou. At present, he has just walked for a escort and took two escorts from the escort agency on the way back.
When Huang Donglai started talking about the competition on the ring with Lei Buji, Zheng Mukai heard it immediately, and his two followers soon heard it... Even if they were not martial arts people, they would still attract attention when they heard the words "Guangxing Escort Agency" and "Zheng Mukai" in their words, and they would still attract attention. Moreover, they were all martial arts practitioners and their hearing was more sensitive than ordinary people.
Originally, Zheng Mukai didn't want to recall this incident very much. After all, this incident was not very glorious for him, regardless of the cause and effect or the process of being stopped in the middle. Now, in front of the two younger generations, Huang Donglai almost defamed him as worthless in his words. How could he not be anxious?
Objectively speaking, Zheng Mukai is a second-rate expert at least. He has a font in the world. You are a junior of seventeen or eighteen years old and publicly commenting on your seniors. It would be fine if you say that he can't beat the masked man, because that's a fact that everyone has seen, but as you talk... you actually said that he can't even beat the young ones who just came out of the Young Heroes Club, and he can't stand it.
Smack
Just when Huang Dong was talking about the rise, a violent sound of slapping the table suddenly sounded from the corner of the second floor of the restaurant.
When everyone turned to look at the sound, the table legs were broken and the wine and food on the table were spilled. Three men stood up from the chair and walked towards this side with great momentum.
This time... the people in this universe are so familiar. When the villagers around him who "listen to books" saw it, they immediately scattered and retreated a few feet away. The waiter in the store also hurriedly ran down to notify the shopkeeper and asked the shopkeeper to have something to do.
At the same time, the three men from the Guangxing Escort Agency had already arrived at the table of Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Lei Buji.
Zheng Mukai stood in front, his face full of anger and shouted: "Where did the yellow-mouthed child come from? How dare you speak nonsense here and talk nonsense?"
At this moment, Huang Donglai's wine had already sobered up. Although Sun Yixie and Lei Buji had not yet stood up, they also looked at Zheng Mukai and were on guard.
"Oh~" Huang Donglai quickly recognized Zheng Mukai, "It turned out to be Zheng's deceased from Guanghang Escort Agency, I'm in the light of the siege agency, I'm in the light of the siege..."
How thick-skinned he was talking badly about others a minute ago, but after a minute he smiled and said "disrespect".
"Hmph." Zheng Mukai didn't answer his words and snorted coldly, meaning that he didn't want to be polite to you.
The slinger on his left hand would also like to ask, "We asked you who you are? Don't be smiling, sign up quickly!"
Huang Donglai was not afraid of them, so he just smiled coldly: "It's easy to say that Huang Donglai is at the Huangmen in the middle of Shu."
As soon as this sentence was spoken, Zheng Mukai and the other three were obviously stunned.
Huang Donglai? Isn’t that the young master of the Huang Sect who was conspiring with Sun Yixie to defeat the Tianqi Gang at the Youth Heroes Conference not long ago and saved hundreds of righteous martial arts masters?
A person's name and the shadow of a tree. A month ago, Huang Dong came from the newspaper family. He was afraid of the yellow door behind him at most, but now... others have to be more respectful to him.
"Oh... it's Young Master Huang." Zheng Mukai's attitude became a little quicker, and his tone suddenly eased a lot, but his anger still didn't calm down. Besides, he couldn't stand his face even if he admits a conscience at this time, so he continued, "Zheng and Young Master Huang have no grudges in the past. Why did Young Master Huang publicly criticize and slander Zheng here today? Could it be... Is it impossible to get along with my Guangxing Escort Agency?"
His set of words is a standard routine.
"There is no grievance in the past and no grudges in the past" means: Now it is the thing you have to take first, your responsibility; "criticizing and slandering" is defined by him without authorization, and the implication is: He believes that what Huang Donglai just said is not the facts, if Huang Donglai disagrees with this, it is to raise trouble; and the last sentence "I can't get along with my escort agency" is more obvious, it is considered intimidation, binding his personal reputation with the sect, meaning that if you offend me, I will offend our entire escort agency.
Can Huang Donglai not taste these?
But he didn't want to say it out loud... Although he could jump up and emphasize that what he said was true, and at most it was a bit artistic and exaggerated, but if you want a person's face, you need bark. It would be bad for you to say this in front of Zheng Mukai, and you have to give others a step.
"Uh...hahahaha..." When Huang Donglai said "uh", he glanced at Sun Yixi. The two of them had a pair of eyes and had already communicated. Then, Huang Donglai laughed out loud.
"Hahahaha..." Sun Yixie also laughed.
Lei Buji was already very familiar with this process. When he saw the two elder brothers start to laugh, he understood what would happen next... so he followed him and haha.
"Brother Zheng! Brother! I was wrong!" After laughing a few times, Huang Donglai suddenly looked drunk again and picked up a wine pot on the table. "Brother, I'm talking nonsense after drinking, and I'm talking nonsense! Brother, you have a lot of me. I'll spare me once, but there are no ones next to me... I'll punish myself for one!"
After saying that, before Zheng Mukai could reply, he poured all the pot of wine "ton ton" and drank it... He turned his back to the sky, opened his limbs, and lay down on the spot.
Zheng Mukai and the two gangsters beside him were stunned when they saw this, thinking that there were still these kinds of words that could "detonate themselves" as soon as they said it?
However, Huang Donglai's move has already opened a step for Zheng Mu. As long as he says "forget it", it will be fine.
"Well..." Zheng Mukai thought for a while. It was really unnecessary to be angry with this shameless person. Besides, the other party apologized and punished him for drinking, so his anger was mostly relieved. If he stared at a younger generation, he would seem to be petty, so he planned to reconcile.
unexpectedly……
"I'll punish you one pot too!" Lei Buji might think... it's time to apply the skills of pretending to be a grandson taught by the two older brothers to the actual combat, so when he saw that Brother Huang had self-destructed, he followed suit and picked up a pot, "ton tons"...
Another one fell swoop.
"I won't say it anymore! Brother Zheng, I will also punish Brother Huang with one pot, and another bowl of crab soup!" Sun Yixie saw that both of them were poured down. If he didn't follow up, he would have to put the tank. He would just... and eat and drink Zheng Mukai and the others in one ten seconds to perform the skill of eating a bowl of crab soup and drinking a pot of wine, and then he also lay there.
Zheng Mu stood there, and everyone was stunned and said to himself: "What's wrong with these three grandsons? What's the trick? Why haven't I seen you for so many years?"
He was still thinking about life, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant came over: "Uh... this uncle, have you solved the misunderstanding here?"
This shopkeeper is so smart. He was just watching the scene. When he saw this scene, he probably couldn't fight, so he stepped forward.
"Ah..." Zheng Mukai nodded awkwardly, "No... it's okay."
Hearing this, the shopkeeper glanced at Zheng Mukai's table they had just photographed and the wine and food on the ground: "Then look... should we change your seats and put the wine and food on again?"
"No need." How could Zheng Mukai continue to stay here to eat and drink? As he said, he reached out and took out the money in his arms, "Check out, I will compensate for the broken things."
"Hey! OK, I'm so generous!" The shopkeeper smiled happily when he saw Yinzi, and quickly praised him to avoid the other party's mind.
After paying the money, Zheng Mukai and his two followers left with a look of pain. They didn't even have enough food or drink enough. They could only find another place to go, and it would be better to stay away from here.
Before they could get out of the intersection of this street, they just lay on the table and lay on the ground. Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai, who were like two dead dogs... all got up.
It wasn't that easy to get drunk in wine back then.
They just used this method to send Zheng Mukai away. Anyway, they were thick-skinned and still had the nerve to sit there and eat and drink after the show.
"Hey, Buji, wake up, it's OK." Sun Yixie stood up and sat down and reached out and pushed Lei Buji.
Unexpectedly, the response to him was a shout.
"Damn, you're so drunk?" Sun Yixie said, "After all, I'm a child, and I can't drink enough."
In fact, he took it a little bit of a matter of course when he said this. In this universe, he was only one or two years older than Lei Buji. Lei Buji would really fall. It was simply because he had fewer opportunities to drink from childhood and lacked experience and exercise. So this time, he poured a pot in one breath, which was too great. Unlike him and Huang Donglai, who were well-off since childhood, and had more opportunities to drink.
"Hey~ No matter who he is, let's eat." Huang Donglai also patted the dust on his clothes and sat down again. "Waiter, put a few steamed ones on it, and two more bowls of ginger and vinegar."
Seeing these two shameless, the guests and waiters around also smiled bitterly, but seeing that the three of them were young men of seventeen or eighteen years old, no one would say anything.
Today's restaurant matter was not big, but it was just revealed, and no one would mention it again.
Who would have thought that something happened just this night, less than three hours later.
The hour of Hai is about to end, and the person in charge of beating up the East Street found a corpse of Zheng Mukai.
His body fell in the back alley of an inn in the east of the city, almost covered in wounds and his face was beaten out of shape.
The book here secretly states that this inn is the one where Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai and Lei Buji live.
If you think that in ancient times, you would panic and yell after discovering corpses, you would be very wrong to do this business. Anyone who can do it for a long time has seen more corpses than you have ever had.
In a society based on agricultural economy, no matter how peaceful the years are, there will be people who starve or die of illness on the roadside all year round. In winter, more people will die of cold and starvation. So at that time, it is very common for them to walk halfway and see dead people lying in the streets and alleys.
When the veteran saw this, he usually went up and checked it out for a moment, and saw how this person died, whether it looked like there was an infectious disease, and then he calmly informed the local government, and then he would seize the position of the local government and disturb the yamen.
Zheng Mukai's death was a murder that anyone could tell. Therefore, the yamen must be dispatched, and the constable and coroner must be used. Even the more perfunctory and incompetent culprits must at least go through the motions.
The captain of Xuzhou City is called Dong Wan, who is a very typical large captain.
He knows some martial arts, but he can only fight gangsters and control his subordinates. He can't beat them when he meets masters from the martial arts world and the Green Land. He is also a little smart, but at the level of an ordinary person, he is ordinary.
Please note that the "ordinary people" I am talking about here are based on the standards of modern people. Most of the people in that era, because of their backwardness in education and common sense in natural science, were considered stupid to the eyes of today's people. Although they are almost no physiologically different from us, the era we are in has been standing on the shoulders of giants since our birth, so it is also true that today's people are generally "smart".
Dong Wan ran to the crime scene to check it out, and saw his identity from the waist tag of the "Guangxing Escort Agency" on Zheng Mukai. He found someone to find out that Zheng Mukai was staying in another inn west of the city during his lifetime.
So he brought his people to the inn again, and found that the two travelers who were with him were also dead, dead in the guest room, and were also covered in injuries, as if they had been beaten to death by random fists.
Three lives overnight, but they all died of undestined life, so the government cannot ignore them.
Since the three deceased's personal belongings were not taken away, this matter obviously looks more like a revenge killing in the world rather than a sacrifice for money. In this case, if you go according to the rules agreed between the world and the government, you should first notify the victims of the Guangxing Escort Agency as quickly as possible and let them investigate them themselves. As for the government, except for saving the bodies for them and providing some information on the scene, you don't care about everything else you want to take revenge and go there yourself.
Fei Ge passed the letter very quickly, and the death of this red deceased is also a big deal.
So, the head of the Guangxing Escort Agency, also Zheng Mukai's master, Zhu Jiaduan, the "Tong'an Divine Sword" of the "Tong'an Divine Sword", personally brought a group of escorts and more than 20 people to Xuzhou overnight with him.
