First Emperor Rebirth

Chapter 17 The money is gone, the people are still there

On the Qingjiang Plain, Yiqi galloped fast, and the sky began to darken. Many places were already shrouded in dark clouds, and heavy rain was coming.Ying Zheng had to speed up his horse riding.Since entering Xinzhou, Yingzheng's speed has slowed down a lot. If Yingzheng wants to come, no matter how powerful the Lu family is, it is impossible to influence Xinzhou together. At most, it is at the level of local snakes in Dongzhou.

Ying Zheng greatly underestimated the strength of the Lu family, because many rangers in Xinzhou have portraits of Ying Zheng in their hands, all of which were created by the Lu family.If he underestimated the strength of his opponent, then Ying Zheng must bear the price of underestimating the enemy.

Yang County, a small county in Kangjiang County, Xinzhou, where Ying Zheng stopped after entering Xinzhou.The dry food has been consumed, and Ying Zheng must go to the city to replenish some food for himself.If he hadn't met Dao Feng before, or to be more precise, he hadn't received the 100 taels of silver presented by Dao Feng, Ying Zheng really wouldn't have dared to come to Yang County. Not much.

Yingzheng rode a horse and crossed a sword, and he ate pretty well when he and Daofeng were traveling together, so he has recovered a lot in the past few days, and he looks majestic, even the guards guarding the city gate. He didn't dare to embarrass Ying Zheng, but just checked Ying Zheng as usual and put Ying Zheng into the city.

Strange to say, after approaching Yang County, Ying Zheng didn't care much about finding an inn because it was about to rain, and started wandering around the city.Since the possession, Ying Zheng has been busy running for his life without a day's rest, which somewhat makes Ying Zheng feel aggrieved.A 20-year-old body hides a 50-year-old soul. Even if the body is not tired, the old man is somewhat overwhelmed!

So Yingzheng decided to relax himself. Anyway, there is no need to worry about life problems for the time being. When he wanted to get here, Yingzheng led his horse and walked slowly on the streets of Yang County, looking east and west, experiencing the architectural style and people's sentiments here. .A big country must have its own unique culture. The culture of Chu State is reserved, a bit like the Jiangnan water town of the Great Qin Dynasty, but there is a hint of toughness in the gentleness. That is because there are brave and ruthless people in Chu State gang.

At the end of autumn, the clothes of pedestrians on the street have increased a lot, and those women wrapped their graceful bodies tightly, but this showed a more plump posture, and Ying Zheng almost didn't stay. Drooling.However, besides seeing beautiful women passing by him, Ying Zheng also saw sturdy men walking around with weapons in their hands. These people are all from a certain gang. members of gangs.

While Yingzheng was carefully experiencing the atmosphere here, a pair of triangular eyes kept observing Yingzheng in a small corner, and his right thumb and index finger were constantly rubbing. A professional thief, it seemed that Ying Zheng was targeted by this thief.However, there is a reason why Ying Zheng was targeted by thieves. From Ying Zheng's curiosity about the Yang County incident, he knew that he was a foreigner. Apart from being bullied and blackmailed by the defenders, this kind of person is also the easiest Being oppressed by the locals, including thieves of course.

The thief's name is Chen Changkong, a native of Yang County, originally an orphan, he was instructed by an "expert" to become a "generational thief". Since his debut at the age of 15, Chen Changkong has been a thief for ten years. One miss, which once made Chen Changkong elated.Of course, Chen Changkong didn't make moves all the time. The targets of Chen Changkong's moves were usually those outlanders with no roots. He didn't know anyone, so he was Chen Changkong's best target.

Today, Chen Changkong was planning to go home after wandering around the flower building to get rid of his physical urges, but unexpectedly met Ying Zheng. Years of experience told Chen Changkong that this was a fat sheep with oil and water. Changkong decided to attack Yingzheng.So they followed Ying Zheng all the way, but during this period, Chen Changkong did not find a suitable opportunity. The dark clouds in the sky were getting darker and darker, and many pedestrians were rushing home. At this time, the flow of people was still quite large. Escape is not easy.

"Uncle, may I ask where is the nearest inn from here?" Ying Zheng felt a little hungry after wandering around for a while, so he planned to find an inn to eat something and take a rest, so he asked a vegetable seller who was in a hurry to go home. the uncle asked.

"Isn't it enough to walk a few dozen steps forward? Really, Lang is wasting my time, and I have to go home to collect the vegetables!" The vegetable seller whose rhythm was disrupted rudely reprimanded Ying Zheng. After listening to the vegetable seller's words, I looked forward and saw a lacquered red sign shaking in the air not far away, Longmen Inn.

Immediately, Ying Zheng's old face couldn't hold back, but the vegetable seller didn't give Ying Zheng a chance to quibble, because the vegetable seller was really anxious to go home and collect the vegetables.

Looking up at the sky, Ying Zheng noticed that many small raindrops could not wait to fall down. Without hesitation, Ying Zheng raised his leg and walked to the Longmen Inn in front of him.Ying Zheng only had one piece of clothing on his body, and he had nothing to spare if he got wet.

"It seems that we have to make a move in advance. If he is allowed to enter the inn, then today's business will be ruined." Chen Changkong secretly thought that if the fat sheep he got flew away, Chen Changkong would be depressed.After making up his mind, Chen Changkong quickly ran towards Yingzheng. This is the most effective method for thieves.

Ying Zheng felt a gust of wind galloping behind him, and instinctively dodged to the side. Chen Changkong didn't expect that his target was a Lianjiazi, and when he hit it with all his strength, he turned into a dog eating shit and fell to the ground.

"Oops." Chen Changkong groaned in pain, because today Chen Changkong not only failed to get any benefits, but also had to pay for himself. It was difficult for Chen Changkong to fall to the ground with all his strength. His heart was bleeding, and the groans became even more painful.

When the strong wind just blew, Ying Zheng thought that someone was trying to sneak attack, but after seeing the opponent's unarmed hands and groaning in pain, Ying Zheng thought he had misunderstood the person. Ying Zheng, who was in contact with the people, never thought that the person who fell in front of him was a thief.

"It's okay, brother." But just when Chen Changkong thought he had missed this time, Ying Zheng imitated Dao Feng's tone and said to Chen Changkong and stretched out his right hand. The thief stretched out his hand, and the thief wanted to steal from Ying Zheng himself.If this word got out, Ying Zheng would lose face in the future.

"Thank you, ouch." Chen Changkong stretched out his hand to be pulled up by Ying Zheng, and then groaned in pain again, looking quite painful.

"Go see a doctor!" After Ying Zheng pulled Chen Changkong up, he turned and walked to the inn. Pulling Chen Changkong just now was all because of his nerves.

The two parted ways, and Chen Changkong was secretly happy, touching the heavy money bag, probably no less than a hundred taels.

Ying Zheng rushed to the inn, but he didn't know that the one hundred taels of silver that he was reluctant to spend had disappeared. This meant that the money was gone, but the person was still there.

(I drank water all afternoon yesterday, and my brain was filled with water. I went to sleep when I got home, but when I woke up, I was done. I'm sorry!)
