Yan'er walked downstairs and sat down at her seat. She saw that all the food she ordered was served, so she paid attention to the guests coming in and out while eating. After finishing the food, she ordered another pot of honey tea.
, a few kinds of dried fruits, and continue to sit and wait.
An hour passed, and there were many fewer customers in the store. Yan'er felt very bored, so she thought: "Lu Jing just sent someone to issue a missing person announcement just the day before yesterday, and tonight is the night of the full moon, so those five people probably won't be able to make it in time."
I rushed here, so I have to think about it in the long term." Thinking of this, she walked out of the restaurant, and when she looked up, she saw a pretty good-looking inn opposite the restaurant, so she walked in.
Yan'er asked for a guest room on the second floor. From the bedroom window, she could see the door of the restaurant opposite. She sat in front of the window, sometimes looking in the mirror, adjusting her makeup, admiring her beautiful face, hairstyle and clothes, and sometimes
She looked at the door of the restaurant, hoping to see the person she was waiting for.
When it was almost evening, Yan'er couldn't bear the boredom anymore. She thought to herself: Anyway, the agreed time was in the evening, so why not go and relax first and go shopping~
Thinking of this, she walked out of the inn and wandered on the street.
Yinglie Town is not big. There are only two lively commercial streets, which add up to only two or three miles. Moreover, the decoration of the streets and shops is not as exquisite and luxurious as that of Qufu and Fengya City. This is really a bit confusing for Yan'er who loves shopping.
It's tasteless.
A burst of rapid horse hoofbeats sounded behind her. Yan'er turned around and looked towards the sound. It turned out that two businessmen wearing black and white uniforms were riding fast on horseback. One of them was carrying a wooden box containing an announcement behind him. The two businessmen
After passing Yan'er, he ran to the official bulletin board more than a hundred feet ahead. He reined in his horse, stopped, turned over and dismounted. One of the servants took out a notice from the wooden box, and the worker neatly posted it on the bulletin board.
get on, then turn around, mount the horse and leave.
Seeing a new government announcement, passers-by and businesses around them gradually gathered to watch, and the bulletin board was soon crowded with people. Yan'er also walked quickly towards the bulletin board. She didn't want to put in the effort to squeeze into the crowd.
She was not very strong, and she was also afraid that others would stain or mess up her beautiful clothes, so she stood on her tiptoes and looked over other people's heads.
There were many announcements on the bulletin board. The one that first caught Yan'er's attention was the one about Lu Jing looking for his comrades: "Warcraft forest hunting together, arrow grass knife fire lotus. Guns and ice looking forward to meeting, restaurant full moon night." But this announcement
Others can't understand it. Therefore, everyone present is staring at the new announcement that the two tolerance officers have just posted. The content is extremely shocking!
"It's not a holiday, and a catastrophe is coming! The king of Dalu, King Xiang, was killed by the traitor Hua Longyang, and passed away on a crane. The three princes Ping, Hu, and Jun and many royal princes were also killed on the same day, and returned to heaven with the king.
. Prime Minister Tian Gang, together with hundreds of civil and military officials, has executed the evil traitor Hua Longyang to death. Although the government is not in chaos and there is peace in all directions, the country cannot be left without a master for a day.
In view of the fact that all the princes and sons of the royal family have passed away, all the officials in the court and the royal family of Dalu have agreed that Prime Minister Tian Gang is the best candidate to succeed the king of Dalu, so Xinsi day of the Gengchen month is chosen as the day to enthrone.
A very auspicious day..."
Although Yan'er has never cared much about national affairs, such a major change still surprised her.
Everyone who saw the announcement was extremely shocked, but most of them remained silent. Only a few people talked in low voices with their companions. However, there were also two men who had obviously just drunk a lot of wine and talked loudly about it while breathing the smell of alcohol. thing:
"Isn't Hua Longyang the most favored person of the monarch? How could he suddenly commit regicide?!"
"Hey! Didn't you see: That was actually what Tian Gang said!"
"Oh, by the way, I forgot about that."
"That's right, it's most likely: Tian Gang thief shouting "Catch the thief!"
"Well! Brother Zhao thought it through, thinking that the prime minister who licks his anus is old and not liked by the king, so he is jealous of the young and beautiful Hua Longyang, and is worried that as time goes by, his position as prime minister will also be taken away. Go, so I decided to strike first."
"Brother Wang, you are not stupid, you have thought of these too, hahahaha!"
When other people around heard the bold discussion of the two drunkards, they all turned pale with fright and stayed away from the two men to avoid getting into trouble.
A young man in his twenties, with simple clothes and a strong body, holding a young girl in red on his arm, had just finished reading this announcement with astonishing content. He heard the discussion of the two drunkards, and his expression changed. He said to them in surprise: "According to what you two said, the person who killed the king and many princes and sons was Na Tian Gang?!"
The drunkard named Zhao said: "Of course! Although Hua Longyang is not a good person, he should be wronged in this matter!"
At this time, there was a middle-aged man with a vulgar appearance and a goatee next to him. He walked slowly for a dozen steps, then quickened his pace and ran away.
The young girl in red beside the young man also turned pale with shock and listened to their discussion in rapt attention.
The young man continued: "I thought about it and think what you two said makes sense. Na Tian Gang has always been evil-minded. He has done all the bad things that others can't think of and there is nothing he can't do!"
The drunk man surnamed Wang blushed and echoed loudly: "This little brother is right. He has never killed anyone in Tiangang: officials, big and small, wealthy businessmen, ordinary people... In order to please the Ting Kingdom, he will do anything bad. If he can do it, he won't have too many obstacles in his heart to do something as treasonous as killing the king!"
The drunk man surnamed Zhao said with a mouth full of alcohol: "Hateful! Such a vicious person is going to become the king! God has no eyes! What kind of world is this!"
…
The three men talked passionately about each other. Although the young woman in red did not interrupt, there was strong anger in her expression.
After Yan'er read the announcement, she felt horrified when she heard the discussion and analysis of the three people. At this time, most of the people in front of the bulletin board had been frightened by the discussion of the three people and left. The rest were all just coming and still Didn't understand what happened.
There was another burst of rapid footsteps. Yan'er looked up and saw more than a dozen people running towards her quickly. Most of them were officers and soldiers in uniforms and carrying weapons. The first person had a piece of black covering his face. He is wearing cloth and is wearing ordinary people's clothes. It can be seen that he is relatively thin.
"They're still here! Don't let them escape!" The masked man turned around and shouted to the officers and soldiers.
Seeing this group of officers and soldiers rushing towards them with great momentum, the people in front of the bulletin board felt uneasy, and some even ran away.
The officers and soldiers gathered around. The thin masked man pointed at the two drunk men named Zhao and Wang and said, "These are the two people!"
The leading officer waved his hand, and six or seven soldiers and officers rushed forward to arrest the two drunkards. Seeing this, the two kings of Zhao were unwilling to surrender and started fighting with the officers and soldiers. Although the two men were not weak in strength, they
He was soon beaten to a bruised nose and face by the officers and soldiers, pushed to the ground, and tied up tightly, like two rice dumplings.
Everyone who read the announcement breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the officers and soldiers were not targeting themselves.
The officer asked the masked man: "Who else slanders Tian...er, this new king?"
The masked man thought for a moment, then pointed at the young man and said, "This man was chatting animatedly with two drunk men just now. He should also be slandering Guo Tian... uh, this, the new king."
The officer shouted: "Take them away together!"
Just when a few officers and soldiers were about to take action, the young man said loudly: "Oh~~~, so you are arresting people for this! I thought you were arresting thieves!"
The officers and soldiers were all stunned for a moment.
The young man continued: "What is slander? We did say a few things about Tian Gang just now, but what we said was all true, and not a single word was slanderous about him."
The officer looked gloomily and asked the people around him: "Has he slandered the new monarch just now?"
No one answered at first, but soon, a fat middle-aged woman and an old man in his fifties rushed to say that the young man had just scolded Tian Gang with two drunk men. The fat woman and the old man said
The two of them exchanged words with each other, reminiscing and talking, and even imposed some words on him that were not originally said by the young man.
Among the spectators, Yan'er and most of the others listened with fear, worried that the fate of these three people would be in danger. Yan'er even thought: If Lu Jing was around, he would definitely try to rescue these three people.
The young man and the woman in red listened calmly, sometimes looking at the officers and soldiers, sometimes at the person who exposed them, with a sneer on their lips from time to time.
The fat woman and the old man talked for a long time. The officer interrupted them impatiently and said, "That's enough! You two will be rewarded for exposing us. You will come with us to the Yamen to receive the reward later!"
The fat woman and the half-old man suddenly beamed with joy and kept saying "Thank you, sir!".
The officer pointed at the young man and shouted: "Take him away!"
The woman in red suddenly said: "I also scolded Tian Gang in my heart, why didn't you take me away?"
The officer glared at the woman in red and said, "The girl is pretty, so there's no need to rush to jail. She can serve the military men for a few days first."
The officers and soldiers laughed loudly, and several people rushed forward to arrest the young man and the woman in red respectively.
Two soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, approached the young man from behind. At the same time, they each stretched out their hands, one hand pressed on his shoulder, and the other hand grabbed his wrist. Obviously this was a well-practiced arresting routine.
The young man suddenly turned around and shook his right arm. Everyone saw a light blue light flashing quickly for a few times, and then the four palms of the two soldiers flew into the sky!
The two unlucky soldiers felt a shock in their wrists, and then found that their hands were a bit shorter. Before they could understand what had happened, blood began to spurt from the broken wrists, and at the same time they began to suffer severe pain.
The other two soldiers used the same technique to arrest the woman in red. The four hands of the two men grabbed the woman in red's wrist and shoulders almost at the same time. As soon as they exerted force, they felt that the woman was very strong and could not hold her down for a while.
