Exclusive golden branch

Chapter 483 Harvest (5K+)

The shopkeeper looked in astonishment at "Tianqingbu" who suddenly walked towards the middle of the street, and couldn't help but glance at the girl who did not walk away even though she dodged to the side.

Although he is not completely clear about the identities of these two, after all, he has lived in Luoyang for a long time and has never been to Chang'an, but he also knew that these two are the masters of the Duke's Mansion and the other is the Bo The master of the government.

With such a status as Jin Gui, he would actually do it himself... The shopkeeper was very surprised.Their owner is just a wealthy businessman in Luoyang, and when they encounter trouble, they have already dodged aside and let the guards take action.There's nothing wrong with this, after all, guards, that's what they do when they're paid, otherwise what would they do?

Unexpectedly, these two are masters who don't mind doing it themselves, and watching... remembering that the girl who was chatting with him one moment ago raised her arm and "swish" the crossbow arrow out of its sheath the next moment, the shopkeeper unconsciously She shivered: Fortunately, she didn't offend her, otherwise she would raise her hand to herself while chatting, guessing that she had been shot into a hornet's nest.

In the middle of the street, the guard who jumped out suddenly and the beggar pretending to be a cripple were beating each other inextricably. "Tianqingbu" walked to the broken bowl and a few copper coins not far from the two and paused. After a pause, he leaned over to pick up a branch that had exploded, weighed it in his hand, and then turned to the girl beside him, "How is it?"

The girl stared closely at the inextricably beaten guard and beggar. After a moment's pause, she nodded and said, "Yes."

how?why.What are these two talking about?The shopkeeper was puzzled, and then saw "Tianqingbu" holding the exploded dead tree branch in his hand and walking towards the two people who were avoiding the fight.

Mostly cherishing beauty is human nature, and has nothing to do with men and women.

Looking at Xiao Wu and Ji Chongyan, who were fighting inextricably, and beggars, especially the two fighting with sharp knives, but he was holding a broken branch. It is rare for a group of common people who are avoiding to speak out enthusiastically at this time.
"Don't go there! Swords have no eyes!" Someone exclaimed, trying to call him back.

Not only people exclaimed, but also waved: "Come here and take shelter, there are seats here."

The talking people hurriedly made room for the "beauty" and stepped back, but they didn't pay attention to the shopkeeper behind them. They stepped on the shopkeeper's shoe, and the shopkeeper immediately "hissed" and grinned in pain. .

He kindly asked them to avoid them, but these people were kind, and stepped on him in order to make room for "Tianqingbu".

The shopkeeper, gasping for breath in pain, looked at "Tianqingbu" and smiled at the people here, ignored it, but continued to walk towards the center with the broken branch.

The common people were anxious and worried, seeing that they had come to the two men who did the fighting, of course it was not a good thing to pretend to be lame and defraud people of money, and they were inseparable from the guards who suddenly came out from the slanting stab.

The sudden appearance of the guard was very skillful, and he couldn't pull his hand away for a while. He was originally anxious, but at this time he saw someone walking over, and the person who walked over knew that he was not an ordinary person just by looking at the clothes and appearance. Like the master of some wealthy family, without even thinking about it, the knife that was originally swung at Xiao Wu turned to Ji Chongyan.

Instead of restraining the guard who is skilled but not necessarily able to restrain him, it is better to directly restrain the master in front of him who is holding a dead tree branch.

It is self-evident which is more useful to hold a guard hostage or hold a master hostage.

Pretending to be a lame beggar, he roared and slashed at Ji Chongyan, baring his teeth and grinning. The people who saw such a menacing knife couldn't help but exclaimed: "Run..."

Ji Chongyan, who was worried by many people, didn't run or avoid it, but went straight to meet him. The dead wood branch in his hand was horizontal, and he firmly supported the slender machete.

"One," he said.

The slender scimitar was actually blocked by a dead tree branch that looked like it was about to break.

The strong attack brought by the dead tree branch shocked the crippled beggar who was covering the scimitar and felt his mouth go numb, then his face changed suddenly, and he turned around suddenly without thinking about it, trying to escape.

At this moment, the instinct that the long-term murderer should respond to the enemy told him that the visitor was definitely not a good stubble, and a piece of dead branch would have such a powerful deterrent power in the hands of the visitor. If he had changed the knife, he would have died by now The first place is different.

Run if you can't beat it!No matter how arrogant and vicious, no one can escape this iron law.

It was only when he turned around that a dead tree branch lay across his face again. The force from the dead tree branch made him take two steps back before standing still.

"Two." As Ji Chongyan said, he suddenly hooked the corners of his lips, and made another movement that surprised and puzzled the pretending lame beggar. He suddenly put away the dead branches in his hand, and said, "Three."

Pretending to be a lame beggar, he didn't expect him to let go suddenly, and was about to raise his foot to run, but there was a shock and severe pain in his shoulder blade, and then the sky was spinning before his eyes, but he was plunged into darkness in an instant.

With a "plop", the beggar who was pretending to be lame and arrogant a moment ago suddenly fell to the ground, motionless and unresponsive.

The common people were dumbfounded: the aftermath of the brief counting of "three" seemed to have not completely subsided, and the murderer in front of him, who made everyone evade, lay on the ground like this, as if anyone could step forward and give him a punch .

The crossbow arrows that were fired at the moment of the exit of the "three" pierced the murderer's shoulder blades. The girl lowered her raised arms, straightened the creased cuffs, and walked forward. , nodded towards Xiao Wu, then looked at Ji Chongyan, and asked, "How is it?"

"Both the person and the child have been taken back to the post." Ji Chongyan said, stretching out his foot and kicking the beggar lying motionless on the ground, "What's the matter with this man?"

"I was sitting in the shop, and he looked at me at least a dozen times. Among them, three pedestrians passed by as many as five times. They probably felt that the traffic was too much for fear of arousing suspicion, so they threw a copper coin into his bowl. Pretend to be a kind person passing by." The girl paused and said, "I still remember the appearance of those three people."

Hearing this, Ji Chongyan nodded, "Yes", and looked behind the girl, looking past the girl. At this time, the servants of the Luoyang government office were brought over by the people who were going to report to the officials.

"Here comes the person who came to help find people." Ji Chongyan said, throwing the dead branches in his hand and walked over, and before the startled Luoyang government official opened his mouth, he showed his identity badge.

Compared with the shopkeeper of the tailor shop, Fu Yin knows a little more about the identity badge. After seeing the small characters on the identity badge, he immediately bent down to salute, but Ji Chongyan raised his hand to stop him, and pointed to the clothes lying behind him. Pretending to be a lame beggar who didn't know anything about the people on the ground, he said: "I want to take that person away."

Fu Yin replied "yes" repeatedly, then listened to Ji Chongyan and said: "I also need to ask my lord to help me find some people."

Fu Yin nodded again. As for who he was looking for, the girl beside him smiled and said to Fu Yin: "Your Excellency, follow me!"

At this time, the people who watched the excitement still had some unfinished thoughts: Is this how real swords and guns look like?This is much more exciting than the "babbling" on the stage.

Of course, it's okay to wait for the excitement, so I don't want to participate.

Originally, I wanted to continue discussing one or two things. After all, there are many things to discuss. For example, the handsome young man can block a knife with a dead tree branch. From this point of view, the flying flowers in the storybook Killing people by picking leaves is probably true; another example is that the fat girl who was with the young master suddenly raised her hand and shot a sleeve arrow. The way the two of them cooperate so well is really amazing, and it is also like...

But before everyone could talk about it, Mr. Fu Yin came, and then waved away people unceremoniously.

"Let's go! Don't disturb the government's handling of the case!"

Ok!In this way... we can only discuss it further away, and the people have no choice but to leave.

After the people left, the girl walked into the tailor shop and said to the shopkeeper who was still in a daze: "Shopkeeper, I will borrow your pen and ink for later use."

The shopkeeper came back to his senses in a daze, but the girl had already sat back at the table and picked up a brush and began to draw, while Lan Xiu was still rubbing the ink on the initiative to add fragrance.

At this time, some shopkeepers who were stupefied had lost their usual slickness, and were too lazy to greet Mr. Fu Yin, who rarely came to the door, but lifted their inexplicably heavy feet and walked over.

The girl has already outlined a figure with a few strokes, and then the eyebrows, eyes and facial features are all vivid on the paper bit by bit. She draws very fast, as if she has already been familiar with it, and after a while, a man with an ordinary face will be drawn. Has been drawn.

The girl blew on the ink that hadn't completely dried up, and handed it to the governor beside her.

The Fu Yin on the side quickly took it, and said while blowing: "Is the prince looking for the person in this portrait?"

"Well, look carefully at the people on the portrait, don't catch the wrong one!" Lan Xiu rubbed the ink while responding to Fu Yin's words, "There are three in total, please arrest the people in the outside of the city. It's about the case!"

As soon as he heard that it was a serious case, Fu Yin's expression immediately became serious, and then he quickly patted his chest and expressed that he would definitely arrest him as soon as possible.

He patted his chest to show the gap, the second portrait was almost finished, the girl handed it to Fu Yin, and he picked up another portrait.

This situation... the shopkeeper couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he saw this: earlier, he was still thinking that this lady's superb drawing skills would be good for helping the Yamen catch suspects, but now...he really started to catch them.

Such a responsive method, thinking of the portrait of himself in his arms, the shopkeeper subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead, I don't know why even though he is not a suspect, he always feels a little weird!
After the third portrait was finished, Fu Yin immediately took the portrait out of the shop and led people to search it.

The girl put down the paintbrush in her hand, stood up and smiled at the shopkeeper who was still stunned, and said, "If that's the case, I won't stay any longer." Afterwards, the people who turned back and stretched their necks to look into the shop smiled and said to him: "What I said before, please let the shopkeeper look at the shop. We will leave tomorrow. If you think clearly, come to the station to look for it." I'm ready."

The shopkeeper's face immediately froze when he heard it, and the "Tianqing Cloth" who was called "the prince" by the governor looked at him in surprise, but didn't say much, just begging for a piece of dead wood just now. The "true hero" who can deal with the enemy with a tree branch opened the black bamboo umbrella in his hand at this time, Bailian Steel turned into a soft finger in the blink of an eye, and he said softly to the girl: "Miss Jiang Si, we let's go!"

The girl nodded, walked under the umbrella, and the two stepped into the rain curtain.

The shopkeeper stared blankly at the backs of the two leaving, especially when the black bamboo umbrella was slightly tilted towards the girl, he couldn't help frowning. What is the relationship between the two of you, you always feel good, not like ordinary friends!"

After muttering this sentence, when he casually removed the "Do not welcome guests" sign that was pushed aside, he saw many people excitedly looking towards this place, and a sense of ominous feeling arose spontaneously.

No matter what the owner did, it didn't look like he wanted to make a big deal out of it, but here he was... the whole city knew about it.Judging from the behavior of the owner's family who would even hand over the young master and the young lady to those people, this behavior of mine... If the owner's family pursues it afterwards, can the shopkeeper continue to do so?
Without waiting for the shopkeeper to think about it, the common people walked into the shop in three steps at a time, and said excitedly: "Shopkeeper, what are you doing here, my lord?"

Shopkeeper: "..."

……

……

After returning to the post station, it was already past noon, Jiang Shaoyan went back to the house and changed her clothes, seeing that this time her lady was indeed not injured as she was in Jiulongling, Xiangli was relieved, and went out to see Xiaowu.

Sitting in the house, Jiang Shaoyan untied the sleeve arrows on her arms to make up for the used arrows on the crossbow, and put the remaining arrows in her purse. Just as she was about to go downstairs, she heard a loud noise downstairs, Lin Yan's voice Came from downstairs.

"Old Master Wang, Madam, please!" Lin Yan made a gesture and said to the embarrassing Wang family members in front of him.

Everyone in the Wang family looked at each other, and it seemed that they still wanted to struggle until now, so the old man of the Wang family smiled dryly and said: "Lin Shaoqing, we are all good citizens, if you force people like this, if it spreads It is detrimental to the prestige of Dali Temple."

Lin Yan glanced at him, and looked familiar with Mr. Wang's words: "You have said it all the way, my reputation of Lin Yan cannot be damaged by a few words from your Wang family, if it is really damaged , that's because I, Lin Yan, are not capable, and have nothing to do with your Wang family!"

The famous Shaoqing of Dali Temple played tricks and made everyone in the Wang family gasp in amazement. When he realized it, Mr. Wang was about to continue talking when he heard a voice interrupt him.

"Of course the prestige of Dali Temple will not be damaged. The Wang family members are here to assist in handling the case." Ji Chongyan appeared in the sight of everyone with two guards, each of whom was carrying a fainted people.

Those two people who fainted... Everyone in the Wang family saw their faces clearly, and their expressions suddenly changed.

"One is called Lingsheng and the other is called Shouchun, both are servants of the Wang family." Ji Chongyan said, "This son and Miss Jiang Si went for a walk in Luoyang City with nothing to do, but an assassin suddenly appeared to assassinate the two of us. The two are the accomplices of the assassin."

"There are a lot of people in this city of Luoyang, why are all the members of your royal family?" Ji Chongyan said, looking at the pale-faced members of the royal family, and said, "My son suspects that your royal family intends to assassinate me, so I want to I invite members of the Wang family to assist in handling the case."

Everyone in the Wang family was speechless, and Lin Yan, who was about to play tricks, stopped now, coughed, and said: "Several, please!"

Since it is the assassination of the Duke's son, it is natural to invite everyone from the Wang family to assist in handling the case.

The Elder Wang who was brought down moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but in the face of such a situation, even though he knew that the assassination was probably wrong, he had no choice but to go on.

After the members of the Wang family were taken away, Lin Yan walked up to Ji Chongyan and said, "What assassination, tell me?"

Such things as assassination can happen naturally, but when Ji Chongyan and Miss Jiang Si who went out together, he suspects that these two people are using their bodies as bait to lure that person into the bait on purpose!

"This hook caught a few fish," Ji Chongyan said calmly without hiding it from him, "Lingsheng and Shouchun, a beggar who can watch Dongying knife skills outside the tailor shop, and the three fellows Beggars have many pedestrians in contact with, oh, yes, pedestrians are shouting for injustice!"

Hearing pedestrians shouting for grievances, Lin Yan was stunned. He wiped the rain off his face with his hand, and said, "I see, I'll go and interrogate those people now. But," he paused for a moment, and frowned slightly, "You said you would Dongying people with Dongying knife skills?"

He really didn't expect that people from foreign lands and foreigners would participate in these matters.

"It should be, his Dongying swordsmanship is very powerful." Ji Chongyan said, closing his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he affirmed, "It is a very orthodox Dongying swordsmanship. I have seen those who came to the Imperial College to study The appearance of an envoy who also came from Japan when he used the sword technique, and he has also had contact with them, there is no doubt about it.”

The culture of the Central Plains has a long history and has always been favored by many small foreign countries.There are not a few foreigners who come to Guozijian to study, including the Dongying people who look very similar to the Han people. Those people like the Central Plains culture very much, and they do not hesitate to make friends with the Han people.

"From what you've said, it seems that this person is indeed from Dongying." Lin Yan sighed and said, "I'm afraid this matter won't be the end of the interrogation in a while."

They only stayed in Luoyang for one day, and Ananda, the murderer of the murder of the merchant woman, had already been punished, so he said that it was inconvenient for him to stay here for a long time.Whether it is the prince of the state or the young minister of Dali Temple, he must always act according to the rules!

"It's okay, just take it back and interrogate it slowly." Ji Chongyan paused for a while when he said this, and suddenly looked up to the second floor as if feeling something, only to see the girl standing at the stairs on the second floor and heading down to them Looking over, seeing him looking over, the girl smiled at him and stepped downstairs.

When they reached the two of them, the girl nodded towards them and said with a smile, "Senior Ji, Lin Shaoqing."

"Miss Jiang Si." Lin Yan called her, and then reminded, "Be careful tonight."

"I know." The girl nodded, not surprised by this, "The people of the Wang family and their eyeliner have been caught in the post, and the other party will definitely do something."

Of course, since Lin Yan and Ji Chongyan dared to do this, they were prepared.

"I have something to ask Miss Jiang Si to help me." Ji Chongyan said.

The girl let out a "hmm", paused, and asked tentatively: "But... about the Duke?"

She can hide the truth from An Guogong when she goes out with Ji Chongyan, but how can she hide it from An Guogong if the other party really starts to fight at night?
