"Li Jianghu, tell me! Please explain to me clearly...how could this happen?" Fatty Wang rushed to my side in two steps, stretched out his hand and lifted my collar: "Say!"
"I……"
A slap came over and interrupted my words. Fatty Wang burst into tears: "How could you do this?"
"Oops, you misunderstood. It was your daughter. For some reason, she suddenly went crazy and wanted to kill the imperial envoy with a knife. Li Jianghu went to stop her, but he accidentally killed her during the scuffle." Master Xiang quickly explained.
.
"No, how could it be? Jiajia has always been honest, so why would she kill the imperial envoy? He...is the imperial envoy?" Fatty Wang pointed at Xiao Mu's back, heartbroken.
What Fatty Wang said confused me. How could he not recognize Xiao Mu? He must be too sad to speak abnormally.
"Okay, should you take her back and bury her yourself, or let us bury her?" Cao Hua asked.
Buried? No! Mu You, I want you to be buried with Jiajia!
I was thinking to myself and happened to see the dagger kicked out by Cao Hua fall on the stairs. I quickly rushed down to pick it up and stabbed Xiao Mu in the back.
"Please be careful!" Cao Hua exclaimed.
A scroll just flew over and hit me on the back of my hand. I felt the pain in the tiger's mouth and the dagger fell off again. After I calmed down and took a closer look, I realized that it was Li Dongsheng who hit me with the scroll.
"Mu You, are you okay? Are you injured anywhere?" Li Dongsheng took Xiao Mu down the stairs and into the yard. He looked at him nervously and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was not injured.
He yelled at me again: "Li Jianghu, are you crazy?"
Two police officers had already grabbed my arms, one on the left and the other on the right. Cao Hua also pulled out a knife and put it on my neck: "Li Jianghu, you are really crazy. You actually want to assassinate the imperial envoy in public!"
"Just now... the same thing happened to the little lady just now. She was fine at first, but suddenly she took out a knife." Master Xiang looked like he was frightened and continued to confuse right and wrong.
"Jianghu, you..." Auntie left the private room with a sad face. She was probably shocked by what I just did.
I don't know how to explain it to her, and I can't explain it either.
"You can't be possessed by an evil spirit, right?" Uncle Fu touched his beard and continued: "I heard from Lao Fang that there seems to be an evil power in the world that can pierce soul-absorbing needles into people's bodies and control their minds.
Secretly commanding him to commit murder."
"Okay, why are you still involved in these legends?" Cao Hua looked at Xiao Mu: "Your Majesty, I wonder how to deal with this person?"
Xiao Mu was not frightened at all. He was carefully admiring Li Dongsheng's new calligraphy. When Cao Hua asked, he raised his head and said coldly: "Put him in jail first and let him calm down for two days."
"Yes. Take it away!"
"Hey, Capt. Cao. Jianghu, Jianghu..." Aniang chased after him, her face full of helplessness.
"Auntie, it's okay, don't worry."
"Okay, let's go!" Cao Hua pushed me and didn't give us a chance to say goodbye.
"Jiajia, let's go home...go home...go home..."
I was about to cross the corridor when I heard Fatty Wang's voice, so I couldn't help but stop and look back. I saw Fatty Wang carrying Wang Jiajia downstairs, standing still like a zombie.
I clenched my fists hard, my nails dug deeply into my flesh, and I said silently in my heart: Jiajia, don't worry, as long as I, Li Jianghu, am still breathing, I will definitely avenge you!
"Hey, Capt. Cao, is it really you? Are you busy?"
In the living room, two tables of guests were happily eating wine. They were uniformly dressed in dark gray outfits with their legs tied, and the four characters "Shunfeng Escort Agency" were marked on the back of each person. But at this moment, the person who came to speak was dressed in blue.
The clothes are none other than Baokang County Shunfeng Escort Bureau Lin Shu!
"Oh, it's Mr. Lin! It's been a long time since we last met!" Cao Hua said with a smile. It seemed that the two of them were old acquaintances.
"Hey, there were a lot of people visiting relatives and friends before and after the New Year. The world is not peaceful now. I had some valuable things on hand for fear of being robbed, so I had to hire us to help escort them. It just kept us busy.
I have some free time. Fortunately, I came to Xiangzhou this time to help escort a batch of goods. I came a little early and will not be on my way until the day after tomorrow, so we can relax together."
"Hey, it's all the same. It's better for you. No matter how hard you work, it's for your own escort agency. We...hey, we haven't even heard an order coming, and we can't even celebrate the New Year peacefully." Cao Hua complained.
Lin Shu finally laid his eyes on my face: "Who is this person? What happened? I just saw you leading people hurried upstairs, and you heard people shouting that someone was assassinating the imperial envoy?"
"Oh, it's okay. The assassin has been executed on the spot, and the body has been sent out through the back door of the inn. This guy offended the imperial envoy with his words, so I asked him to take him back and lock him up for two days."
"Oh, I'll be living here with my brothers these days. Come and have a drink with me when you're done!"
"Okay! I won't come back until I'm drunk tonight!" Cao Hua said with a smile, covering my head with a black cloth bag, and eagerly pushed me again: "Go quickly! Be honest!"
My vision suddenly went dark. It was not convenient for me to walk when being held by two people, so one foot was deep and one foot was shallow. The other person had no bottom. Cao Hua thought I was walking slowly and pushed me from time to time.
I fell down frequently. Listening to the curses from the people along the way, coupled with the pain in my body and heart, I strengthened my determination: Mu You, I will not be a human until I kill you!
"Get in!"
The black cloth on my head was finally torn off, and the rope binding my hands behind my back was loosened. Before I could adapt to the light in front of me, I heard the sound of iron chains being locked.
"Cao Hua, a humble official, paid a visit to the governor. I wonder if the governor has any other needs?"
Governor? Governor Lei? I blinked hard and looked through the gap in the wooden fence. I was indeed imprisoned, but I didn't expect that the innermost cell was Governor Lei!
"What are you doing? Be honest!" Someone hit the cell door with a whip: "There is a bucket in that corner. You can urinate in it. There is water for you to drink at the door. You have two meals a day. It's already past meal time today. You
The boy is quite capable, but he actually offended the imperial envoy? What have you done? Our imperial envoy has such a good temper, how can he get so angry that he sent you to be detained for two days?"
Governor Lei and I were already a little far apart, and the jailers kept nagging me, so I couldn't hear their whole conversation. But judging from the way they looked at me frequently, I guessed that it was Cao Hua who was giving me the trouble.
Inspector Lei reported what happened at Jianghu Inn just now.
"Go down, I'll ask the jailer to take care of anything." Inspector Lei said.
"Then the governor has a good rest and resigns from his humble position!" Cao Hua said.
"Hey, hey, where are you looking? I want to ask you something." The jailer knocked on my door again.
I squinted toward the other side in the distance and said, "Why do other people's cells have beds, tables, chairs, pens, ink, paper and inkstones? I only have these straws in my cell?"
"Someone else?" The jailer smiled coldly: "He is the governor? He voluntarily works here temporarily and can go out after the imperial envoy clears his suspicion. How can you compare with him? Just stay here honestly! If you want to feel comfortable,
When you go out the day after tomorrow, go stay in an inn!"
"Yes." I responded, not wanting to say more to him.
"Thank you for your hard work, Governor. If anything happens, just ask." The jailer said hello to Governor Lei again with a different face.
"Okay, I understand, let's go down." Inspector Lei said.
Seeing that the jailer also retreated, the prison finally became quiet. I leaned on the cell door and slid weakly to the ground, staring blankly at the candlelight in front of Inspector Lei.
"Brother Jianghu! Haha, Brother Jianghu!"
"Brother Jianghu, is it delicious?"
"Brother Jianghu, do you like it?"
I suddenly felt that Wang Jiajia's voice was calling me from all directions! That voice used to bother me and disgust me, but now it has become a luxury!
"Jiajia, Jiajia! Ah!" I screamed twice in grief and hit the cell door with my fist, making the iron chains on the door jingle.
"What's wrong? Can't you be quiet? How can I do my work with so much noise?" Inspector Lei was finally attracted to me and asked me loudly.
I was so sad and depressed that I didn’t care about etiquette! I just sat on the ground and replied rudely: "This is a prison, not an office at all. If the governor wants to report his work, it should be in the study!"
"Li Jianghu, do you still have any rules? You actually talk to me like this?" Inspector Lei was stunned at first, then became a little angry.
I felt very ridiculous for a moment, so I stood up and laughed indulgently: "Hahaha, rules? What rules? I, Li Jianghu, have always behaved myself since childhood! But... what did I get? I...
Not only did I lose my lover, I also lost my freedom! Rules...fuck the rules!"
"Have you been safe?" Inspector Lei read in his mouth: "Just now Cao Hua said that you tried to assassinate the imperial envoy, so the imperial envoy ordered you to be detained here for two days to calm down. Only we, the imperial envoy, can laugh at such a big crime.
That’s it. You are ungrateful and still have so many complaints here. You are really ungrateful!”
"Yes! What a great imperial envoy! In the eyes of everyone, he is a good official without any official pretensions. Hahaha, I once became friends with him and called him brothers. But, until today, I
Only then did I really get to know him. Once he turns his face, it’s faster than flipping through a book! He can talk to you gently one moment, and then attack you the next moment, do you believe it?”
"You mean, the imperial envoy wanted to kill you, so you fought back?"
I could no longer control the grievances in my heart, and roared: "He killed Jiajia, he killed my fiancée! Jiajia was so kind and simple, but she died in his hands.
However, no one would believe it, and they thought it was Jia Jia who suddenly became delirious and wanted to assassinate her, so she was executed on the spot. But the imperial envoys actually confused right and wrong, saying that I had made a contribution by killing Jia Jia and rescuing her.
You are the governor, don't you have to go to work? Okay! Li Jianghu, a common man, pays homage to the governor and asks the governor to uphold justice for Li!"
"This..." Inspector Lei scratched his head, his face full of embarrassment: "How can I believe you just based on your words? You said that the imperial envoy killed your fiancée? Why did he do that?"
I stopped hiding anything and told everything that happened in the private room.
"What? This..." Inspector Lei was really shocked, but he still said to me with a smile on his face: "You also know that our imperial envoy is always talkative, this time... it won't be what he used again.
