Jiang Yichen could tell that there were five people, but he didn't know what kind of people they were.
Other senses could not replace all the functions that the eyes should have, and he could only get the answer from Leng Mei's mouth.
Blacksmith, woodcutter, fisherman, cook, plowman.
The person with bare arms, hanging a sweat towel, holding pliers in his left hand and a hammer in his right hand is the blacksmith.
The woodcutter has a wooden stick across his shoulder and a broken ax in his hand.
The person wearing a bamboo hat and raincoat, holding a fishing net in his left hand and a fishing rod on his right shoulder is a fisherman.
The one with dirty linen wrapped around him, holding a spatula in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other, is the cook.
The person carrying the rake and wearing bare feet is the plowman.
If Jiang Yichen's eyes were clear, he would be able to tell the identities of the five people from their costumes at a glance.
Of course, if they only had this superficial identity, these five people would never appear in Yin Yang Valley today.
"I didn't expect that after many years of being imprisoned and living in seclusion, the five great citizens would one day come to the murky waters of Jianghu."
Leng Mei revealed the other identities of the five people in one sentence, and also roughly inferred the identity of the person behind the scenes.
Five major civilian arrests?
As Leng Mei said, Jiang Yichen can be sure that there is no such name in the world today.
But this doesn't mean that Jiang Yichen has never heard of this name.
When he was a child on Xishan Island, he read many story books and listened to many stories.
The storybook is more exciting and interesting, but after heavy processing, it has a strong fabrication color.
Most of those stories are real deeds that happened in the world, with less added fuel and jealousy and more real feelings.
There is a "Four Famous Catchers" in the storybook. The reputation of the "Four Famous Catchers in the World" is extremely high. They have cracked many difficult cases, are smart, capable, and versatile in both civil and military affairs.
In the story, there happens to be a name similar to the four famous catchers, namely the five great civilian catchers.
The five major civilians are all from Qin. They are ordinary people and live their ordinary lives seriously and meticulously.
Because of a major regional case, the fate of a young blacksmith, a woodcutter, a fisherman, a cook, and a farmer were implicated, and they once faced imprisonment. However, the five relied on their own abilities and wisdom to work together to solve the case. He was incorporated into the yamen of the capital of Qin and became a policeman.
The five people started out in the market, made great achievements repeatedly with their talents, and were widely loved by the local people, so they were named the Five Great People.
After searching through the memory fragments, this is all the information Jiang Yichen knows about the five major civilian arrests.
Based on what he knew, the five major civilians had nothing to do with Jianghu, and the story existed when he was a child. After more than ten years, the five major civilians must be old. Why are they here, and why do they have to take it? His life?
"I didn't expect anyone would remember the nicknames of us five old guys."
The one who spoke was the cook. Compared to the other four, his expression was more relaxed, but his words always showed melancholy and emotion.
"The temple and the world have never been truly separated. After entering the temple, we have dealt with many rough and tumble heroes, both black and white. How can we not be influenced by the world?" It was the blacksmith who answered Leng Mei.
Finally, the blacksmith added, "I'm here just to return the favor."
Jiang Yichen didn't understand what he meant and tilted his head slightly, thinking that Leng Mei might know the cause and effect.
"Have you ever heard of the story of the five major civilian arrests?"
Leng Mei's voice was not loud, she was obviously just asking Jiang Yichen.
Jiang Yichen said, "I've heard of it before. He has great wisdom and courage, and has repeatedly solved important cases."
Leng Mei said, "It seems you don't know their ending."
"I don't know." Jiang Yichen said, those stories were just bizarre cases solved by the five major police detectives.
Leng Mei said, "They solved more and more cases, and they became bigger and bigger, until one case involved many people, and even involved a certain important member of the court."
Leng Mei's tone paused for a moment, and Jiang Yichen's heart trembled, as if he had anticipated Leng Mei's so-called ending and the subsequent twists and turns.
Leng Mei continued, "The case was not investigated in detail. Instead, the five people were accused of several crimes and ordered to be executed."
Jiang Yichen asked, "Who saved them?"
"Shang Que. At that time, Tiangang Disha Gate had not yet been divided into two rudders. Shang Que followed Song He and traveled east and west to recruit talents. After hearing about the deeds of the five major civilian arrests, Shang Que borrowed some gold and silver from Song He and cooperated with the government.
After a long period of mediation, the joints were finally opened, allowing the five golden cicadas to escape their shells and avoid death. However, after experiencing this disaster, the five people were heartbroken and had no intention of entering the world. They wanted to return to the city life, so they declined Shang Que's invitation. Shang Que did not embarrass the five people.
Since then, the five major civilian arrests have disappeared."
"They should be quite old, right?"
"According to the calculation of time, the oldest fisherman is nearly seventy years old, and the youngest blacksmith should be past his sixties."
"If these five people had lived the lives of ordinary people, they would have had many children and grandchildren. They must have come here not only to repay their kindness, but also for other reasons."
Leng Mei and Jiang Yichen were discussing in a low voice very quickly, and at the same time, the five major policemen were approaching step by step.
Back then, the young man Shang Que saved the lives of five people, and the five of them were always grateful. Later, they learned that Shang Que had become the helmsman of the Disha Sect and secretly controlled Jinzhou City. They each settled in the countryside of Jinzhou with their families, and secretly cooperated with him.
Shang Que got in touch, but had difficulty, so he just let him be sent.
In the past ten years, Shang Que had only met them a few times, let alone used them to do things that were not worth mentioning. The relationship they had with each other was more like friends who had been friends for many years.
Because of maintaining the gentle distance between gentlemen, the five people only heard the news a month after the Dishamen Incident. After many setbacks, they contacted Ying Long, Luo Qi and other six hall masters to learn some details that had not been disclosed to the public.
Not long ago, the five people learned that the person who killed Shang Que fell under the Yin-Yang Bridge. They were invited by Ying Long and others to find out. Without saying a word, the five people hurriedly said goodbye to their families and picked up their usual servants.
Came over.
When they entered the valley, they encountered groups of men and horses with ferocious looks, only to realize that this matter was not simple.
The leader threatened the lives of the five family members and forced them to fight the enemy with all their strength. Little did they know that they would go all out since they chose to come here.
Because the five of them are people who know how to be grateful, they failed to repay Shang Que's life-saving grace in time, so now they have to use each other's lives to pay homage to him in order to repay their kindness.
Although the five people came from different backgrounds, they have been practicing martial arts since they were young, and they have solid boxing and kicking skills. It was not until they entered the yamen that they came into contact with the discipline of external training of muscles and bones and internal cultivation of qi and strength. Due to their limited qualifications and understanding, each of them only practiced two disciplines.
In terms of internal strength, the best level of internal strength is only average. However, the five of them are pragmatic thugs who are stronger in physical skills than cultivation. In the past, the five of them worked together to subdue many masters.
It's just that this night is not like last year. Firstly, they have been away from the battlefield for a long time, and secondly, they are old. They ask themselves that they can kill the previous group of dead soldiers within two hours when they are full of energy, but they cannot survive a stick of incense when they are exhausted physically and mentally.
.
They didn't watch the entire ten-wave battle, but they knew very well how torturous it was, but they still hadn't seen the two young men fall, so it was their turn to finish.
The more they admired this young man and woman, the less they dared to make any excuses.
A few words of communication time is the greatest respect they can give two people.
They must take advantage of the fact that the two of them are at the end of their fight and make a quick decision.
Seeing that the five people were no more than fifteen feet away from her, Leng Mei pushed Jiang Yichen away and prepared a tight formation.
Unexpectedly, the arms were still holding her strong, unwilling to relax.
Leng Mei was about to look up at Jiang Yichen, but her body was turned towards the wooden house.
The five of them were still ten feet away from the wooden house.
Leng Mei has been helped to the door of the house.
The eaves blocked the drizzle, and Jiang Yichen's firmness blocked Leng Mei's red lips that didn't know what to say.
Feeling the downward pressure on her shoulders, Leng Mei felt a stubborn energy coming from deep in her heart, almost wanting to struggle.
"You have just used Jingxia Gong, and you have held on for too long. Your muscles and bones have been strained to the limit, and your breath is unstable. If you continue to fight hard, you will have to lie down in bed and let me take care of you. Take a rest first,
I can handle it. After a cup of tea, if I can't hold it anymore, come and help me."
The two were already grasshoppers tied to a rope, and Leng Mei had accompanied him through more than ten bloody battles. Jiang Yichen would not say anything about refusing Leng Mei to live and die with him and let him escape on his own, but after
When Leng Mei is in serious physical condition, as the target, he will never allow Leng Mei to risk her life for him again, at least not until he falls.
Leng Mei's eyelashes trembled slightly, she raised her head slightly and stared at the pale and thin face in front of her.
He couldn't see her, so she could look at him as she pleased.
Although this is not the first time to fight side by side with others, why is the intersection with the person in front of me always so special?
On that rainy night in that hut, she was probably in the same boat as him.
Later, she was tricked by Yin Li and Ji Qianlin and fell into siege, and it was he who shared life and death with her.
And in the past few days and nights, it was he and she who fought back to back against waves of powerful enemies.
It seemed that being with him was always a matter of life and death.
Is this luck or misfortune?
Leng Mei asked secretly in her heart.
She was accustomed to being alone and never thought deeply about her destiny until such a person appeared around her several times...
At least he is willing to stay by his side, right?
In the cold rain, the hands on my shoulders were warm and strong.
Leng Mei knew her physical condition very well, so she gave up her resistance and sat down cross-legged obediently, doing exercises and regulating her breath.
At this time, the five civilians had arrived outside the fence, and a meteor once again shone coldly in the dark sky.
Jiang Yichen wanted to buy Leng Mei at least one cup of tea to recover, so that the battle would not spread to the wooden house, so he used his body as a lure to force the five of them away.
The five blacksmiths are no strangers to this scene and have already prepared strategies to deal with it.
The plowman took the lead, turning the seven-tooth wooden rake over in his hand and raising it toward the sky.
It not only blocked Jiang Yichen's meteor style, but also forced him to continue moving forward, flying over the heads of the five people.
The five people share a common understanding.
The plowman's move was effective. The fisherman spread out a large net to cover Jiang Yichen, the woodcutter set up his stick and waited for the moment to move, and the blacksmith and cook continued to move towards the wooden house.
The five of them have already seen how powerful the two of them are, and there is a moral principle in the world of not taking advantage of others' danger, but the policemen have no such habit, and they should not continue to be disturbed by them. They will not pity Leng Mei and let Leng Mei recover peacefully.
Their move was to weaken the enemy and shake Jiang Yichen's mind, so that they would have a better chance of winning.
But he saw Jiang Yichen stepping into the air, his sword shaking and flicking away the incompletely opened fishing net. He turned over and flew backwards, landing on the fence, blocking the path of the blacksmith and the cook.
When his body rose again, his sword pointed in all directions, his energy spread across the sky and the earth, and the falling stars were colorful.
The five people only felt that the sword energy in front of them was ethereal, as dazzling as blooming flowers, but there was danger hidden in the beauty, and the sword blades were pointed directly at the door of their hearts!
