early morning.
The warm sun shines first, and the fields are silent.
Sun Yixi and his other carriages had already left Xuzhou City when the city gate opened and went to the official road.
Those who are rushing to the front are still thunder do not dare to catch the bus.
At this time, Lei Buji was quite energetic. He had a good meal, stay and rest in prison these two days, and was even more idle than outside.
However, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai in Cheyu have fallen asleep now.
They didn't sleep all night... Since Qiliu Youlan left in the early morning, they immediately rushed to the yamen and got Lei Buji out of the prison. Then they took Buji back to the inn, changed clothes and washed, fed the horse and cart, and then checked out and set off.
Obviously, not to mention one day or half, they didn't want to stay in Xuzhou City for a while.
So... a few hours ago, how did the Duke settle the score with them?
Actually, it's not very good either.
After all the previous changes, the Duke's original purpose has changed.
He can ignore Gu Qiying's notes; he can ignore his "stand-in-law" death; he doesn't even need Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai to "pay the account" immediately...
According to the monk's original words: "At present, I don't need you to do anything, nor do you need to give me anything, but I have handed over your two 'friends'. Please remember what you 'owed me'."
Sun and Huang both understood the weight and purpose of this statement...
There is no doubt that the monk has regarded the future of both of them as a more "valued" existence than Gu Qiying's notes. When he intends to "monitor" this value in the future, what he will ask Shuangxie to help him do will inevitably be something that even if he gets Gu Qiying's notes, it is even more important and more difficult.
At this point, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai both felt... it was better to copy some of Gu Qiying's notes to him before.
Any debt in this world is easy to pay, but the debt of favor is the most difficult to pay.
The Duke is a person who is well aware of this. Over the years, through the mutual help between "friends", he has laid countless pieces in the world, in the court and the country... in the world that can be used at critical moments.
Think about how powerful a girl's father, "Ghost Slave", was back then, but what ended up in the end because she owed the concubine's debt to the concubine? She even caused trouble to her family after her death...
Let’s put it this way, if the debt is not paid off in one day, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai will not be at ease all day. Considering that the Duke is probably engaged in some major conspiracy, they will most likely be "difficult" when they repay this favor in the future.
So, their plan last night was not wrong. The final solution to this matter is to "kill the concubine".
But now is not the time.
Nowadays, Shuanghui really doesn’t have the ability to accomplish this.
In terms of martial arts, power, and other various hard and hidden resources... they cannot be compared with the Duke; unless the Duke suddenly jumped up like Gu Qiying and Shen Youran, he would openly jump up against the entire martial arts/the court, and they would make arrangements in advance without intention, completing a fatal blow... Otherwise, they would have no chance of winning.
To sum up, at this stage, there is no problem between Duke and Duke. If there is a problem, it is just a "misunderstanding".
…………
If you have books, you will be long, and if you don’t have books, you will be short.
During the day, the three of them were basically on the road and nothing happened.
Sun and Huang got up when they slept until noon, and then they told Lei Buji about what had happened in the past two days.
Of course, they did not tell the truth, but consciously omitted all the parts about the "Shier"; they first told the story of Xueer and Shuisheng, and then said that Zhu Jiaduan discovered that Zheng Mukai was dead and had no choice but to say that the "bredhouse owner" thought Shuisheng Xueer was pitiful, so he let them go, and did not mention Xueer's self-destruction of her appearance.
Anyway, Lei Buji is easy to cheat and will not pick up any details. If the two elder brothers say it, he will believe it. This matter is revealed.
Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai did not tell Buji about the existence of "The Common Man" and it was undoubtedly for his own good. If he told Lei Buji about the whole story of everything in the past two days, with Buji's personality, he would definitely think that Sun Huang owed the common man because of himself, and then he would also get himself involved.
The three of them chatted all the way. By the afternoon, around Shenshi, they happened to arrive at a place called Liuzhuang. When they saw that it was not too early, they might not have time to rush forward to a station, so they decided to find an inn to stay.
Liuzhuang is a relatively large village, and there is at least a pretty spacious inn in the village.
As soon as Lei Buji drove the carriage to the inn, the waiter from the inn ran out quickly, leading the horse and greeting him.
Although he is a waiter from a small place, he has good eyesight. When he sees that he is a guest on a carriage, he knows that he is rich, so he is particularly enthusiastic when greeting him.
Everything was fine, nothing unusual, but I didn't expect...
As he spoke, the little brother glanced at the back of the carriage, and the moment he glanced at Brother Sun's trident, the expression on his face suddenly changed.
This is not over yet... His face change was just a little stiff at the beginning, but after a few seconds, when he saw Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai walking out of the car, he simply showed anger and disgust.
Immediately afterwards, he stopped holding the horse and said nothing, and suddenly turned around and ran back to the store.
Soon, a man who looked like a shopkeeper walked out with him, and like him, he stared at Sun Yixie and Huang Dong and looked at him, and immediately turned black.
"Two..." The shopkeeper stepped forward two steps. Even though his expression was unrespectful, he still made a move of holding his fists and bowing. "I'm sorry, I'm rude, dare you ask..." He paused and said in a deep voice, "Two are Sun Yixi, Sun Young Master, and Huang Donglai, Huang Young Master?"
When Sun and Huang heard this, they were quite beautiful and thought that we were both so famous now. They could recognize us when they went to a village or town or meet an inn shopkeeper?
"Ha...is not bad." Sun Yixie immediately smiled, "It's Sun Yixie."
"I'm going to Huang Donglai." Huang Donglai also continued with a smile.
They thought that when the store owner heard this answer, they would first exclaim, then praise them, express their endless admiration, and then walk in one row with delicious food, drinks and good rooms.
Never expected...
"Hmph!" They were greeted with a cold snorkeling, "Okay! I just ran two, and two more... It's good!" The shopkeeper said this with gritted teeth, "Groupe! Come on! The Qi Suner who cheated on food, drinks and money, three more come!"
After he shouted, the people from all corners and eight miles rushed out more than a dozen people. They had kitchen knives, hoes, and rolling pins in their hands. In a blink of an eye, they surrounded the carriage.
Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Lei Buji were all stunned. What are they doing? Black shops? No... Black village? Even black shops have to wait for someone to enter before they start. Why are they still ganked on the street now?
"My mother, I'm going to be fine, right?" The shopkeeper was so angry that his face turned red, and all the swear words came out. "I tell you... I'm going to our village today is unlucky. We've been fooled once! Everyone is still holding back their anger! Today, you will beat the other two scammers to the ones you deserve, and then go to see the official with us!"
After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and pulled out a wooden stick under the inn counter, and took the lead and came up to beat people.
The villagers around were also excited. A few brave and powerful people were about to go forward and drag the three people on the carriage down.
At this moment... Sun Yixie, who has rich experience in group training, made a quick decision and stood up.
I could only hear him shouting loudly, like a thunder suddenly rising, like a dragon roaring and a dog roaring.
Before he could finish his shout, Sun Yixie stepped forward and grabbed the kitchen knife from the hand of a big man who was rushing in front. Then he clamped the big man with one hand and pressed the kitchen knife against the big man's neck with the other hand.
"Who the hell dares to come over! I will kill him with one knife first!" When Brother Sun said this, he suddenly moved the kitchen knife away from the man's neck, waved it at the others in front of him twice, and then pushed it back to the hostage neck in his hand.
Not to mention... His hand works very well.
Just his loud roar has already shocked many people. Coupled with his murderous attitude and momentum, who dares to step forward?
After all, the villagers are just villagers. Seeing that there are too many people and the popularity is really useless... If you ask them to catch a few thieves, adulterers and adulterers are sexually ill (preventing first-hand) women, that's OK, but if you really meet a desperate person, no one wants to go up and be the first to die.
"Brother...Brother...Don't...Don't be impulsive..." The man who was pinned by Sun Yixie just now looked like he was trying to eat people. Now Sun Yixie is holding a knife, and he feels his legs weak and his words are trembling, and he is almost wetting his pants.
"Who is the fucking brother?" Sun Yixie didn't want to pay attention to him, "Shut up! I'll take your head off when I talk nonsense!"
The big man himself is a chef, and he is skilled in killing chickens and fish. If you ask him to kill people, his scalp will be numb, so he will quickly shut up.
"You...what are you doing? If you can't cheat, you will have to kill someone?" The shopkeeper had retreated to the inn door at this moment, and half of his body was hidden behind the door frame and shouted at them.
"Fart!" It's already happening, Sun Yixie no matter how respecting the elderly and loving the young, staring at the old man and scolding him, "Do you dozens of people gathered around with you, and they were going to call him indiscriminately. They dared to say that I want to kill someone? This is called self-defense!"
Although he has a bad attitude, he always has a good attitude.
If Sun Yixi is not here today, if Huang Donglai and Lei Buji deal with this matter, it is likely that they will suffer a loss. Although it is not difficult to control these villagers with their ability, one of them uses poison, and the other is too stunned. One of them will probably cause casualties when they take action... And if they insist on not wanting to hurt these ordinary people, they will have to be beaten, and it is possible that they will be disabled if they are unlucky.
Only Sun Yixie, the fish market, wades by swords and shadows. He knows the best about what is going on in the market and how to control this kind of scene.
"Hey." After a breath, seeing that the situation had stabilized temporarily, Sun Yixie called Huang Donglai in a low voice and winked.
Although he didn't say anything, Huang Donglai and his eyes were matched and immediately understood what he meant.
The next second, Huang Donglai climbed half a step up, bowed his fists around him for a while, and whispered loudly: "My fellow villagers, we have no malice when we pass by this place, and we don't want to hurt everyone, but we don't know why you are trying to fight against us and hope to give us advice."
They are considered as being the first to be a sage. Brother Sun first controls the scene in a rogue way, and Brother Huang comes out to pretend to be gentle and gives the other party some softness - it is easier for one to sing a red face and the other to sing a white face to resolve the conflict.
As soon as Huang Donglai said this, the villagers became confused. Everyone looked at the inn shopkeeper. Originally... you called us out, you would take the blame.
The shopkeeper thought that this boy who "pretended Huang Donglai" was very polite, and seemed to be justified and could communicate, so he said, "You said... are Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai?"
When he thought so and asked this, he did not think about it from the perspective of others. His words and deeds just now were unreasonable?
Of course, since Sun Yixie has controlled the situation, that doesn't matter anymore.
"Yes, I'm Huang Donglai." Huang Donglai asked back, "What's wrong?"
Actually, now calm down and think about the words the shopkeeper said before. Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai had roughly guessed what happened in Liuzhuang, but they still hoped to confront each other in person and make things clear so that some of the villagers around them would not be able to figure out the situation.
So, the shopkeeper told all the stories about how their village had hosted another couple of "Sun Yixie" and "Huang Donglai" a few days ago...
The two scammers were also very brave. In addition to eating and living in the inn, they also deceived many villagers, saying that they wanted to teach their children martial arts, saying that they wanted to start a sect in this village, and saying that they wanted to do business here, buy land and houses, etc., and paint cakes for the villagers.
When these villagers heard that the two rookies who had just become famous in Luoyang were so interested in their village, they naturally flattered them, serving all kinds of good wine and dishes, and each household gave them money and gifts... in exchange for the various "benefits" promised by the two scammers.
Unexpectedly, just this morning, when the waiter was following the usual delivery of food to the fake Sun Yixie and the fake Huang Donglai, he found that the two men and their luggage were gone...
All the money and gifts they received these days... except for some things that are really not valuable and too heavy, they have taken away everything they can.
The villagers realized that they were afraid that these two people were not liars, right?
But if you want to chase, you won’t be able to catch up...
These two liars were also prepared. They had deliberately waited until the day was noon every day, and repeatedly told the waiter not to wake them up early in the morning. In fact, they were all laying the groundwork for the day of escaping. On the night before, the two liars took advantage of the night to touch the stairs, wrapped cloths on the hooves of the two horses they rode, quit the sound of the horses, and then brought all the scams with them, rode their horses all night, slowly and quietly slipped out of the village. After leaving the village, they untied the cloths on the horses and started to gallop... So, when the waiter found that the two were missing, the other party had already run for half a day.
In the next half day, what else can the villagers do? Complaint each other.
Everyone can imagine that word - "I blame you. I will believe it only after you hear that they must be. If I meet these two liars first, I will never be deceived."
Most of the people who were cheated are like this. The day before, they were in a state of "sold and helping people count money" and the day after that, they were all hindsighted. If you want to force him/her to be too anxious, he/she might even say that the other party used a medicine that could make him/her obedient and give away the money by just patting him/her shoulders, which led to the attack of such a shrewd and upright person.
Anyway...
When they heard someone pretending to be cheating, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai would definitely not be able to bear it. Even if they could bear it, Lei Buji would not be able to bear it.
No matter what else they have, the matter in front of them must be solved first, otherwise it will be like a thorn on the back and a fish in the throat.
Chapter completed!
