New Wagang

Chapter 26 The Mysterious Thief

The sun is getting higher and higher, and the scorching sun after autumn is extremely scorching. The few people who walked all the way were already hungry and thirsty. The eyes looking at the road ahead all contained a kind of anticipation, anticipation that maybe just turning around Will you see a family at the next road bend?
"The road is long and sleepy due to alcoholism, and people in Rigao are thirsty for tea." Yu Wenba glanced at the endless mountain road in front of him and couldn't help picking out a poem by Xueshi Su and recited a few lines. Ling Jingwen's eyes lit up, looking Xiang Yuwenba smiled and said:
"The master of Yuwen Village is a great talent!"

Ling Jing really wasn't flattering, this poem really came into being at this moment, it was so fitting!
"hey-hey."

Yuwenba laughed dryly twice, everyone turned around the road bend, and suddenly saw wisps of cooking smoke rising from a col in the distance ahead, they were all overjoyed at the moment, and hurriedly urged their horses to go to the col.

Turning over the col, I can see a village, suddenly there is an inn at the head of the village, the inn seems to be deserted, no one can be seen in the inn, there is a waiter at the door leaning on a bench and squinting his eyes as if sleeping, then A seductive word of wine on the soap cloth cover hanging high on the flagpole outside the inn made several people salivate and turn upwards.

"This scene suddenly turned around, can the master of Yuwen village continue?" Ling Jing looked at Yuwenba with a smile.

"What's so difficult about it?" Yu Wenba glanced at the inn under the mouth of the mouth and said casually:
"Rush the horse to wake up a restaurant."

As soon as the words fell, Yuwenba yelled: Drive!The horse went straight down from the pass, Zhang Dabao and Shanwazi followed closely, and in an instant, the sound of horseshoes sounded on the quiet mountain road!
Looking at Yuwenba's back, Ling Jing fell into deep thought. This person's righteous deeds all the way from Dongjun to Luzhou, his witty behavior of selling wine at Sanchakou to make friends with heroes from all walks of life, and his humility at Erxianzhuang These are the first things that attract me.

During the in-depth conversations along the way, Ling Jing found that he had been completely attracted by the village owner of this small village without knowing it, and his defense of seeing the situation in the world showed that this person was not just a simple reckless hero .

Seeing this person casually uttering such a wonderful poem just now, I became more and more curious about Yuwenba in my heart. How big is this person that I have never known?
Although reciting poems is a luxury in such a troubled world, it also shows that this person has a certain degree of self-cultivation and enlightenment. It is not comparable to the recklessness of the king, Liu Liu, and Zhang Jincheng. Maybe this person He is really a person who can be assisted by himself!
He urged his horse down the col, and when he reached the village, he saw three words written in black ink on the boundary stone:
Saponaria grove.

So this is saponin forest?
Yu Wenba suddenly smiled in astonishment, judging by the time, Qin Qiong should have passed through this saponins forest long ago, I don’t know how he would be without the silver bricks that Shan Xiongxin stuffed into his baggage out of good intentions. He will be treated as a thief by this shopkeeper to the newspaper officer, and thus this shopkeeper was also accidentally beaten to death by Qin Qiong, and this is how Qin Qiong sent him to Youzhou, Hebei, and ran into his uncle Luo Yi's funeral.

Seeing that Yuwenba was in a daze and did not get off the horse, Ling Jing couldn't help but look at Zhang Dabao and Shan Wazi, but the two shook their heads silently, only thinking in their hearts:
Our village master is good at everything, but has such a habit of being in a daze, alas.

Xiaoer was woken up by the sound of horseshoes early on, and when he saw a customer arriving, he hurriedly came out of the shop to say hello, Yuwenba finally came back to his senses, got off the horse, Yuwenba actually pulled Xiaoer to the side of Huang Puma and told him:

"Little brother, we are not busy. You take this horse to the stable to feed it first. Feel free to use the best fine ingredients in the store, and there will be a reward for it."

The shop clerk was also slightly taken aback, thinking that this guest officer was quite interesting, he saw that the horse was brought all the way from the road, now he ignored himself and waited for others to order the horse's rations first, but the shop clerk was also used to it No wonder, he immediately responded and led a few horses to the stables at the back of the store, and they entered the store by themselves.

In the store, there is only a man near the window drinking and eating meat. A burden is placed beside him, and a black iron rod stands beside the table leg. When he sees someone coming into the store, the man raises his eyes and glances at it, then starts to eat on his own. .

The eyes of several people also swept over the man, and sat down calmly.

"What do the guest officials want to eat?"

A woman in her thirties came out slowly from behind the counter. She couldn't help but blush when she saw several people looking at her. Although she had shown her face as a shopkeeper for several days, she was still a little unaccustomed to it. If my man hadn't been killed by a thieves surnamed Qin from Shandong, how could I, a woman, show my face like this, alas, it's just a trick of the sky!
The woman sighed in her heart, and the expression on her face gradually recovered. Shanwazi is Yuwenba's personal attendant, so it is his duty to order food and drink. Hearing the woman's question, he asked for a drink. Altar of wine, ten catties of cooked beef, ten catties of cooked mutton, a large plate of steamed buns, and some dry food and drinks to take with you on the road, and then looked at Yuwenba, which meant to see what else Yuwenba wanted No.

Yuwenba nodded lightly to Shanwazi's gaze, this kid has made rapid progress, and now he looks like a skilled man, how could he be afraid to blush even when he said a word at the beginning?
The woman turned around and took the wine and put it on the table, and took four more bowls, then said: "Wait a moment." Then she went out of the lobby and went to the back.

A few people felt strange, at this time the waiter from the shop came in from the outside and asked them if they had ordered food, Shan Wazi replied, the waiter hurriedly bowed to them, and then picked up the wine jar to give them a drink. Man pours wine.

"Why is your store a female shopkeeper?" Ling Jing asked softly:
"It's Xiangwu at this time, why is your shop so deserted?"

"Well, some of the guest officials don't know that the female shopkeeper was originally the wife of my shopkeeper Wu. Because she cooks good dishes and makes good wine, shopkeeper Wu opened this shop. The price is fair I still know." The waiter in the shop couldn't help but sighed a little while speaking, and said:

"Unexpectedly, a few days ago, a thieves pretending to be arresters stayed overnight in the store, and my shopkeeper Wu found out, and went to recruit arresters from the county. I didn't expect that shopkeeper Wu was caught by the thieves during the fight. If you beat him to death, there are old mothers and children under the shopkeeper's knees, so the hostess has to show her face to be the shopkeeper in person, and she is busy inside and out, so please forgive me if there is anything wrong with the guests."

"The thieves are surnamed Qin? Did they come from Shandong?" Yuwenba was very surprised. Seeing that the shop waiter said that, he already guessed that it must be Qin Qiong, but he still couldn't help asking.

You must know that it was originally because Qin Qiong accidentally dropped a pair of maces in the store when he invested in the store, which attracted the attention of shopkeeper Wu, and then saw Qin Qiong in the room accidentally stuffing Shan Xiongxin into the multiple pieces of silver in his bag. It was only when the bricks were revealed that they were suspected of being the thieves, but Shan Xiongxin had never seen Qin Qiong, so naturally he did not have the dozens of silver bricks, so why was he suspected of being caught?
Could it be the 100 taels of silver that I gave?

Yuwenba couldn't help but secretly swallowed his saliva. If this is the case, the inertia of history is really inexplicable!

"It's the Shandong arrester Qin Qiong..." The waiter still had a resentful tone in his tone, he couldn't help but look at the people, but saw that they had different expressions, and saw that they all looked like green forests in their hearts He was even more stunned, this could not be the gang of thieves, he stopped speaking halfway through his words.

"Xiaoer, don't panic, we've heard about this a long time ago, so we asked about it." Ling Jing smiled at Xiaoer and said:
"How about those thieves? I heard that you only caught one thieves. Let me ask more carefully, so I can tell them apart on the road."

How could my brother fall in love with such a timid coward?

Zhang Dabao snorted Ling Jing secretly, there are differences between scholars and scholars, you see, our second leader, although he is also a scholar, is unambiguous in charging and killing the enemy. Hearing the thieves, he was already so scared, no, I have to tell my brother when we eat and go on the road, or we will be deceived by this scholar!

"Everyone who was robbed has no survivors. All the wounds on his body were caused by sticks. The powerful horse is especially powerful. Most of them smashed their heads and took their lives!" He moved closer, as if he was still scared, and after he finished speaking, he shrank back and looked outside the shop.

"Okay, let's go, get some food for your female shopkeeper, we have to hurry."

"Yes." The shop waiter heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and left, Ling Jing turned his head to look at Yuwenba, and said softly:
"This Shandong arrester Qin Qiong is Qin Qiong Qin Shubao under the command of General Hu'er?"

Looking at Yuwenba's expression, Ling Jing knew that Yuwenba must know the inside story, but he couldn't be sure, because Shandong Qin Shubao was a well-known hero. He was forced out of the barracks because he offended the Shangguan. Could it be that this person became an arrester after returning to Shandong?
Yuwenba nodded lightly, and said:

"This Qin Qiong is exactly that Qin Qiong."

boom!
When Yuwenba's words fell, there was a sudden sound from the side, and several people looked back, only to see that the man's wine bowl was overturned on the table. Why did you have such a big reaction when you heard me mention Qin Qiong?
Could it be that this person knew Qin Qiong, and was disturbed when he heard that he was arrested... No, his expression was obviously flustered, even if he knew Qin Qiong, he might be either a friend or an enemy!
"Xiao Er, pay the bill!" The man yelled towards the back, and Xiao Er's voice sounded from behind. Before Xiao Er ran out, the man threw down a piece of silver, picked up the bag and went to the door.

The waiter came out to clean up the table, saw an iron rod standing beside the table, and shouted:

"That guest officer, you forgot to take the iron rod!"

Unexpectedly, the man not only didn't stop but quickened his pace when he heard Xiao Er's yelling, he went straight to the back of the store without looking back.

"There is something wrong with this person!" Ling Jing's eyes twitched, and he glanced at the iron rod in Xiao Er's hands, and saw that Xiao Er was struggling to hold it with both hands, frowned, stared at Yu Wen Ba and said:

"Could it be that this guy is the thieves?"

when······

As soon as Ling Jing's words came out of his mouth, Xiao Er was startled, the iron rod in his hand fell to the ground with a loud bang, and cold sweat was already pouring down his forehead.
