Jinyi Night Walk

Chapter 024 3 Forks

After breakfast, Xia Xun really took the female bodyguard who had just taken office out. Miss Peng secretly admired his guts. People who are afraid of death don't dare to go out at all.

The two of them wandered around the most bustling Nanmen Street all morning. In "Fu'anju", Xia Xun ordered a set of birthday screens made of golden nanmu, and carefully selected a jade-carved screen in "Shengshi Qingbao". Shou Taoer, these are gifts prepared for King Qi to celebrate his birthday.After finishing all this work, it was almost noon, and Xia Xun was so busy that his forehead was sweating slightly, but Miss Peng, who had been walking around him with a knife in her arms, still looked calm and unmoved.

The two walked out of "Shengshi Qingbao", and Ms. Peng asked lightly, "Where are you going now?"

"Lin Yang's pawn shop! How about we go there for lunch?" Xia Xun replied with a smile.

Lin Beixia, the shopkeeper of Lin Yang's pawn shop, is the number one suspect in Xia Xun's mind. He has long wanted to meet this partner, but now that he has such a fierce female bodyguard, he is even more unscrupulous. How can he not go? The reason for visiting.

Peng Ziqi snorted and said, "Anywhere is up to you, except for Huajie and Liuxiang. Don't blame me for saying something first. If you go to hang out in that kind of place, but you want my son to protect you with bodyguards, don't even think about it!"

Xia Xun said with a smirk: "Tsk tsk tsk, I can't see that brother Peng's tutor is so good. By the way, I have a friend who refused to beat him to death when I invited him to the brothel for the first time. Wait for him to taste it once." Tiantou, he is the one who pulls me every time, how about I invite you once? Hehe, please once, and you will invite me every time in the future, this deal is very worthwhile."

"Shameless!" Miss Peng scolded coldly.

The two of them bickered all the way, but they didn't look lonely.

"Lin Yang Pawn Shop" is not far from here. Xia Xun had already recognized the road two days ago when Xiao Di took the street for a stroll. At this time, the two of them walked leisurely in the shade of the tree and just turned a street. When I came to a crossroad, I saw a convoy coming quickly...

More than a dozen large carts are long-distance trucks, each of which is driven by two mules, and there are boxes and cages piled up on the carts, which are firmly tied with ropes.The handlebars waved their whips and yelled loudly. Seeing these people walking so fast that they even raised dust, Xia Xun stopped at the side of the road and wanted to wait for them to pass first. At this moment, a scholar in green clothes rode Leading a donkey out of the roadside alley.

The scholar held a piece of pottery in his hand and was admiring it. He didn't watch out for the mule cart coming straight towards him. Seeing this, Xia Xun couldn't help shouting: "Be careful!"

The scholar raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw a mule cart coming straight towards him. He was caught off guard when he tried to dodge it. The pottery was smashed, and the bonnet fell to the ground.

Shaking her head, Xia Xun stepped forward to pick up the soft hat, then helped the scholar, and asked kindly, "Brother, are you okay?"

The scholar stood up in a daze, and hurriedly bowed to Xia Xun: "Thank you, brother, I'm fine."

Xia Xun handed back the soft hat, and saw that the young man seemed to be two years younger than himself, with delicate features, very attractive.

The soft-robed young man sitting on the carriage saw the scholar fell into a mess, and couldn't help but burst out laughing. Hearing the laughter, the scholar couldn't help being furious. He turned around abruptly, leaped to the front of the carriage with one stride, and stretched out his hand. Grabbing the laughing young master's arm, he shouted: "It hurt someone and smashed my Han Dynasty pottery dog, and it's still so unreasonable, come down!"

The young man was caught off guard and was pulled off the car by him, he couldn't help being furious, raised his hand and punched him, and shouted: "Good boy, give me a punch!"

The scholar didn't expect that this man dared to attack after he was wronged first, he hurriedly jumped two steps away, tucked his robe into his arms, and was about to fight back, the young man saw this posture, also tucked his robe, rolled his sleeves and sneered Said: "What's the matter, do you want me to teach you a lesson?"

Seeing that there was going to be a fight, the people on the street immediately became interested, especially when the two scholars were fighting, the people were even more excited, and a large group of people surrounded them. An old gentleman with a cane saw two young soldiers The son pulled the shelf to make a move, he couldn't help frowning deeply, shook his head again and again, and sighed: "Sweeping the floor in a gentle manner, it's sweeping the floor in a gentle manner."

The old man was sighing that his heart was not old. At the time when the world was going down, a young man rushed forward to watch the battle. He didn't notice for a while, his big foot stepped on the old man's instep. It is summer now, and the old man was wearing a pair of black satin The cloth shoes with Baina soles on them were very thin. When he stepped on them, the toes hurt unbearably. The young man still didn’t know it. He was still watching the battle with his feet up. He beat his head down, and roared loudly: "Little beast, it's such a shame that I don't have a tutor!"

Such a move immediately stunned a literati from other provinces next to him, and his local friend could only explain with a sneer: "Uh... I am a Shandong folk, and I have always been unrestrained and unrestrained..."

Xia Xun frowned, and said, "There are a lot of pedestrians on this road, and the carriages and horses should be moving slowly, but that team of carriages is too unruly, and it's outrageous to ride horses in a busy city. Whose car is this?"

Peng Ziqi quietly said: "That car belongs to our family..."

"Uh..." Xia Xun was as good as he was, and immediately changed his words: "My Shandong people have always been bold and uninhibited, with a dry spirit..."

Peng Ziqi rolled his eyes at him, and snorted, "Don't flatter me, the car belongs to our family, but the person does not belong to our family."

It turned out that this convoy was the relocation team of Mr. Zhu Wenhao, a member of the household department who retired and returned home. Mrs. Zhu, his wife and daughter had arrived in Qingzhou six or seven days in advance by light vehicles. A large amount of luggage was from Nanjing to Qingzhou. Hiring a boat and then hiring a car, after a lot of going around, it just arrived today. The car was hired from the Peng's car dealership. The guards were not only the guys from the Peng's car dealership, but also Master Zhu's two sons and several servants.

Hearing that they were approaching their old house, the two sons of the Zhu family were very excited and kept urging the handlebars to speed up. Later, the eldest son simply grabbed the whip and galloped the horse, and then collided with the green-clothed scholar. It's the young and vigorous Zhu'er, who started fighting on the street when he disagreed with each other.

As far as scholars fight, it is actually very interesting, because the six arts taught by the Ming Dynasty's government schools include archery and imperialism, and archery is the ability of archery and riding.At that time, the two subjects of knowledge in the government schools were not mere formalities. The scholars who entered the government schools had special training in martial arts. They could swing a stone lock weighing tens of kilograms by more than a dozen, and a hard bow with two stone strength could also be opened. Pull it twice like a full moon, so although the scholars are not proficient in this way, they are also proficient in fists and feet.

Zhu Zhichun, the second son of Zhu, saw his elder brother making a move, and immediately stepped forward to help. The two brothers fought one, and the green-clothed scholar suffered a disadvantage. , persuaded: "Brother, if you have something to say, don't do it."

The scholar in green shirt gasped and said: "Brother, it's because the younger brother refused to forgive others. His car hit me and broke my belongings. Not only did he not get off his horse to make amends, but he even laughed out loud. If we just let things go, others will say that I, Cui Yuanlie, are afraid of him, a birdman, but if it doesn’t work, I will go to the government to argue with them.”

Zhu Zhihou said disdainfully: "Go to the government? Don't say that I just bumped into you, even if I hit you with a broken bone, my father sent a copy to the magistrate's yamen, and my brothers will be able to walk out in a big way."

Cui Yuanlie was trembling with anger: "Okay, then let's talk in the magistrate's yamen, Cui wants to see how majestic your elder is, and whether the magistrate dares to let your madman go with your father's handbook! "

Judging from his tone, it seems that he has a lot of background, but judging by the color of his clothes and the means of transportation, although he is not shabby, he does not look like a rich man. The two sons of the Zhu family came from the capital. , there are many officials and officials in the capital, and they have seen the world well. Although their family is not a wealthy family, they can't help feeling superior when they go to the local area.

But after thinking about it, it is true that his father is a senior member of the imperial court of the fifth rank, the same rank as the prefect of Qingzhou, and he is also a Beijing official. Compete with them?

Zhu Zhihou flicked his nails, and said lazily: "Don't just talk but don't practice, you are going to the government office, so hurry up, don't delay my young master's effort."

At this moment, a girl called out: "Brother and Brother, you two are causing trouble on the road again!"

Xia Xun and Cui Yuanlie turned their heads together, and saw a young girl in green clothes walking slowly towards them.This girl was in her twenties and eighties, wearing a water-green dress with narrow sleeves and a small Huzhou silk waistcoat with double breasts. With heavenly fragrance, it looks noble and elegant.Behind her was a white-haired old family member, dressed in green clothes, slightly stooped, but with a very ruddy face and a special spirit.

The girl gave Cui Yuanlie a blessing, and said apologetically: "Young master, my brother was reckless. He drove into the young master and smashed the young master's things. The little girl is here to apologize to the young master on behalf of the old brother. I don't know if I hurt the young master's body. , Do you need to ask for medical treatment? How much is the broken thing worth?

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhihou hurriedly said: "Sister, why bother to let him, it's his own fault, suddenly flashed out from the side and fell, what's the matter, who can prove what the pottery shard on the ground is, if he says it's an ancient thing yes……"

Before she finished speaking, the girl turned her head slightly, gave him a hard look, and quickly pouted to the side, Zhu Zhihou suddenly felt something, followed her sister's gaze, and saw that the intersection had already stopped for a few minutes In the carriage, the curtain of the carriage in the middle was lifted, and an old man in official uniform who was nearly sixty years old was sitting in the carriage, looking sideways slightly, with an unconcealable anger on his face.

Seeing Zhu Zhihou looking at him, the old man put down the bamboo curtain with a gloomy face, and Zhu Zhihou was sweating all over: "It's broken, why is Daddy here?"

That old man was his father, former member of the household department, Gailang Zhu Wenhao, Mr. Zhu took his family to Yunmen Mountain yesterday to find a secluded visit, accompanied by Zen Master Kongsuo, the head of the Dayun Temple, touring the beautiful scenery of the mountain. A large amount of sesame oil money was donated.Today, Master Kongsuo was invited to accompany him to pay respects to the ancestral tombs and performed a big ceremony. Right now when he returned to the city, he bumped into his son arguing with others in the street.

Lord Zhu asked the old housekeeper Zhu Dong to go forward and ask the passers-by, and he was very angry when he learned what had happened. He didn't want to leave the impression of a bully to the elders in his hometown just after returning to his hometown.It was inconvenient for Master Zhu to come forward, and he was afraid that the old butler would not be able to restrain his two sons, so he asked his beloved daughter to come forward to make a rescue.Master Zhu's daughter is Zhu Shanbi, although she is young, she is more sensible than her two elder brothers, and she speaks and behaves in a decent manner.

That Cui Yuanlie was the young Mu Ai's age, when he saw this girl was young and beautiful, her manners were elegant, and she spoke so politely, his anger dissipated immediately, and he quickly returned the courtesy: "Young lady, you are being polite. , if I hadn't rushed out recklessly, I wouldn't have collided with Brother Ling, a little injury is nothing to worry about."

Miss Zhu glanced at the pottery shards on the ground with her big talking eyes, and Cui Yuanlie hurriedly said, "Aha, that...it's just an ordinary pottery, it doesn't matter if it breaks..."

"Hahahaha..." The onlookers had heard that it was an ancient relic just now, and seeing him so elegant and magnanimous in front of other beautiful girls, they couldn't help laughing in good faith. I have a good impression of him, so I don't want to pursue it. When everyone laughed, her tender face became hot, and she pursed her lips and said, "It's best if you are in good health, but if you break something, you have to pay for it. Butler..."

The old family member Zhu Dong understood, hurriedly took a step forward, bowed and said: "I wonder how much this earthen pot is worth, my lord?"

Cui Yuanlie shook his hand repeatedly, and said, "It's just an ordinary earthen pot, not worth a few pennies, no compensation, no compensation..."

Xia Xun smiled and said: "Okay, since Mr. Cui has no intention of pursuing it, I don't think this girl is too polite. The road here is narrow, and everyone gathers here to talk, and there are many passers-by watching. never mind."

Cui Yuanlie breathed a sigh of relief, and said repeatedly: "What brother said is very true, what he said is very true."

The girl glanced at Xia Xun, smiled and said, "This young master is..."

Xia Xun gave a slight salute and replied, "My lord, Yang Xu, whose name is Wenxuan, is also from Qingzhou."

The girl bowed to him and said, "I have seen Mr. Yang."

The old housekeeper Zhu Dong glanced at Xia Xun, and said to Zhu Shanbi: "Miss, since the two young masters don't want to get into the details, according to this old slave, the lady should not insist."

The girl pondered for a while, then smiled and said: "In that case, the little girl has thanked Mr. Cui and Mr. Yang."

Seeing the Zhu family's convoy go far away, Cui Yuanlie is still stretching his neck in a daze, looking at the girl's back, his mind still flashes from time to time the greasy nose and water chestnut beauty of Miss Zhu's family when she tilts her head slightly. Her lips, and the few strands of soft black hair on the side of her neck when she looked back, she became crazy thinking about it for a moment.

Xia Xun waved her hand in front of him, and said with a narrow smile, "When that girl left, it seemed that she took Brother Cui's soul with her."

Cui Yuanlie's face flushed, and he said embarrassingly: "Brother Wenxuan was joking, younger brother Cui Yuanlie, a native of Hetaoyuan Village in the west of Qingzhou Prefecture, thanks to the help of my elder brother, my younger brother did not suffer a big loss."

Xia Xun smiled and said: "Fellows from the big hometown, just say something fair, it's a little effort, Brother Cui, you don't have to be polite."

The two chatted for a few words, their temperaments were quite similar, and they both had a good impression of each other, but Cui Yuanlie's clothes were covered with dust, and it was quite inconvenient to stand on the street, so Cui Yuanlie and him exchanged names and agreed to visit the mansion another day , then bid farewell.Ms. Peng watched coldly, her mouth curled up slightly: "This guy is an old-fashioned and warm-hearted person, but... he is really unbearable in terms of sex..."

Just as he was thinking about it, another line of vehicles came by on the other side of the intersection. An officer sat upright in the car in front of him. Looking around, he suddenly saw Xia Xun. Coughing to avoid Xia Xun's sight.

His guilty conscience immediately caught Xia Xun's attention. When he took a look, Xia Xun immediately remembered the identity of this person, the number two person on the list of suspected murderers: Geng Xin, Geng Yuanwai!
