Chapter 55: "Second master, run quickly, that husband and wife...
The two robbers were standing on the side of the road carrying hoes.
They usually live at the foot of the mountain, and their task is to find fat sheep and help them "guide the way".
I was lucky today, just woke up from a nap, I saw a spacious carriage coming and passing by.
The two heavy boxes were attached to the back of the car, and the whole car was almost hung with a sign "Come and rob me".
Such a car will not be robbed.
Maybe the little man in it can be brought back to be a husband.
Seeing that the carriage was moving slowly, the two shouted to each other, "Don't go forward."
When Mihe heard the movement, she stopped her horse and looked back in doubt, "Little master, it seems that someone called us."
Shi Qing and Yun Zhi had already got off the roof, one sat in the carriage nibbling melon seeds and the other wiped the gems on the scabbard.
The four of them had just left the capital for half a day at noon, neither tired nor hungry, so they ate some dry food under the shade of the tree to rest for a while and continued on their way.
When I heard a voice, I opened the curtain and leaned back.
One of the two robbers walked over quickly, with a loyal and honest face, he had just woken up, and he pretended to be working hard in the field for a long time, pulling his sleeve to wipe his forehead No sweat or dirt.
She said to Shi Qing in a rough voice, "Don't go forward, there is a mountain thief in front of you, I heard that it is very fierce, and they specialize in robbing passing carriages."
The robber looked around the carriage and was very satisfied.
rich people.
She tried her best to look in through the gap in the window opened by Shi Qing, and said, "I see that you are from outsiders, so I thought of reminding one or two, don't lose your life for no reason. "
Mihe frowned, "But if we don't go forward, what should we do when it's dark? We can't let us sleep in the wild, right?"
Another robber came over and said with a smile, "Don't worry, there is an inn in front of you. The shopkeeper is honest and honest, so you can settle down."
What the village woman said outside, Yun Zhi in the carriage almost didn't hear a word.
He leaned against the wall of the car with his sword in his arms, all his attention was devoted to reducing his breathing as much as possible, so as not to blow Shiqing's hair in front of him.
She could get out of the car or sit on the front crossbar and listen to people talking, but she heard the movement and passed over him, and looked at the two people under the car window on his side.
Yun Zhi pursed her thin lips and looked up at Shi Qing, but her eyes slowly descended and fell uncontrollably on her clean and white neck.
Shi Qing was originally white and liked to wear brightly colored clothes.
Against the background of red, the exposed skin is as white as the first snow, which is particularly conspicuous.
The weather in April and May has gradually warmed up, Shiqing wears not much, and the collar is not as tightly wrapped as in early spring, and you can see the looming under the red shirt if you look down a little. Delicate clavicle in half.
of.
Yun raised his handle, and then suddenly realized what he was thinking, abruptly stopped the movement, clenched his fingertips into a fist and pressed it on his thigh, slowly reddening his auricle, panicking look away.
It's just that the breath is getting hotter and hotter, and every moment when Shi Qing hangs on him is extraordinarily tormented.
"Shi Qing." He said in an unnatural voice, "Can you..."
Go on?
Or let him go down and give her the position by the window.
He Yunzhi was just about to shrink his legs out, when Shi Qing put his hand on his curled knee.
Yun Zhi's body froze suddenly, his eyes trembled, and he didn't dare to move.
When the watchman put his hand on the car window, half of his body lay outside, and asked the two of them curiously, "No, since the robbers are so fierce, why is there still an inn?"
"Ah this..."
The two of them tied their tongues and stopped talking.
I didn't think anyone would ask such a question, and I didn't think about the answer in advance.
The fat sheep that I usually meet will fold their fists and smile to them and say "Thank you, my fellow", and then leave.
No one even thought to ask this.
Shi Qing's eyes fell on the soles and hands of the two of them, with a smile in his eyes, "The shopkeeper is honest and honest, and he dares to open an inn here? I don't know which temple it came from. Living Bodhisattva, life is hard and money is more."
The robbers faltered, you look at me, I look at you, and finally the simple and honest man said, "The shopkeeper may have something to do with the government, so I'm not afraid of the robbers."
"Since everything has something to do with the government, why don't you bring people to kill the robbers and let her do evil things? Wouldn't business be better without the bandits?"
Shi Qing suffered from occupational disease, "What is the county magistrate's surname? I have a zizzi that I want to chat with her."
You don't have much else to do, but you have a lot of discounts, the kind that can be sent to the capital in a hurry.
Royal free shipping, escorted by the garrison in person, and signed by the emperor.
What?
The robber didn't understand, and I felt that this man looked young but was not easy to fool.
The robbers decided to slip away first, for fear of revealing more and more.
"
The two turned their heads and walked towards the back of the carriage, staring at the two boxes from the corner of their eyes.
Shi Qing sat back in the carriage, stared at Yun Zhi who was sitting still in the corner of the carriage, and patted his knee excitedly, "Yun Zhi, stop those two people just now, Earn money."
Yun Zhi originally looked like a wanderer, but when he heard that there was silver, he immediately became energetic.
He raised the blue sword and jumped out from the front like the wind.
Shi Qing lifted the curtain and jumped off the carriage to follow.
Yaqing was in charge of driving to keep up, Mihe didn't know where to pull out a mace and followed Shiqing.
“…”
Shi Qing's eyes twitched, and he silently looked at the weapon in Mihe's hand, "Why are you so familiar?"
Mi He smiled, "What you want from the lord, in case there is danger along the way, I can still protect you."
Speaking and waving twice, the weapon slid through the air with the sound of wind.
Shi Qing knew why she looked so familiar.
Honey can't do anything else, but it's strong, and swinging this thing is like swinging a wooden stick.
Besides, the two robbers who left just now wiped the sweat from their foreheads as they walked forward. This time, they were really sweating.
The honest and honest one showed his original face and spat to the side, looking sullen, "Her father, it's really hard to fool."
"No matter how hard it is, you can only sleep like a dead pig with a bowl of soup."
He sneered honestly and said, "If you don't believe us, what if you don't believe me? No matter if she can't live in the inn, these hills are ours, don't leave the moment you step in. want to go."
The two were squatting on the ground and were about to pull out something to signal when they felt a tap on their shoulders.
The honest tone was impatient, "What are you shooting me for?"
Another tone was blank, "Who shot you?"
The two looked at each other, their right eyelid twitched heavily, and they turned their heads to look back.
I saw a handsome young man standing behind them holding a sword and looking down at them.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, "Who were you scolding just now?"
The honest and cheeky one still wanted to play stupid, reached out and took the **** at his feet and said, "How come I don't understand what Langjun said?"
She smiled, "Is Lang Jun alone or with others? Do you want me to protect you over the mountain?"
Speaking and looking at his accomplice, he jumped up and waved his **** at Yun Zhi.
"Such a good-looking man, don't take it back to take a look"
The wretchedness and obscenity in her eyes and words could not be hidden.
Yun Zhi's face was a little dark, and his expression was indescribable.
He never thought that he, a man, would be offended...
Is there still someone in this world who robbed the young master on his head?
Yun Zhi dodged the **** and kicked it with no strength at all.
In less than three strokes, the two of them were kicked to the ground and unable to get up.
When Shi Qing arrived, Yun Zhizheng rubbed the soles of his feet on the grass in disgust.
Shi Qing looked at him suspiciously, Yun Zhi usually wouldn't make such a heavy hand, and the opponent who hit him couldn't even get up.
Seeing Shiqing staring at him, Yun Zhi's eyes twinkling, looking awkwardly at the tip of his shoe, his voice is unnatural, "the two of them said they would take me back to take a slow look, but I couldn't hold back. "
It is self-evident.
Shi Qing raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Look at it slowly?"
She nodded slowly and walked towards them.
Mihe was standing by with a mace to prevent people from running away, but when she saw Shiqing's smiling expression, she immediately held the mace in her smart hands and handed it over.
Please.
Shi Qing held the mace and slammed it on the opponent's arm, "Slow, slow, look? How do you want to look slowly?"
"How about you recognize him as your father and hang it on the wall directly opposite your door, three times a day?"
"The old lady's people are also the ones you can remember!"
The robber cried out in pain, begging for mercy and saying he didn't dare.
Yun Zhi stood beside him with one arm folded, and touched his nose with the other hand, his eyes did not look at Shi Qing's body, but the corners of his pursed lips curved upward.
"Why don't you dare? Aren't you full of courage?"
Shi Qing slammed his mace on the ground, making the two robbers tremble for a while, for fear that she would break their legs with this.
Shi Qing sneered:
"You two, why are you not good at being a robber, and who is not good for you to rob me, do you think that your life is too long, or do you support your own business in the coffin business?"
Yun Zhi wanted to ask just now, "How did you know that they were robbers?"
This is also the first time for Shi Qing to go out of Beijing. How can he be like a "reciprocal criminal".
Shi Qing motioned Yun Zhi to look at the soles of the two of them, "It's all floating ash, and it hasn't touched the ground at first glance. There are no traces of labor on the hands, and most importantly, there is a little mud in the hoe. No, it's just so good to act with me."
She laughed mercilessly, "The **** raised in my pool, the acting skills of pretending to be dead are many times better than the two of you."
"It's better than a turtle to make a living!"
The two robbers did not dare to lift their heads when they were scolded, and did not dare to run, so they could only sit on the ground without saying a word.
Shi Qing motioned to Mihe, "Tie the two together, doesn't it mean that there is an inn in front of you?"
She laughed, "I've come here, how can I do it if I don't go home."
Her expression didn't look like she was just looking at it.
The two robbers shivered, and for a while they couldn't tell who was doing this.
Mihe took out a rope and tied the two of them with a pig's trotter, like a connoisseur.
Shi Qing took the luggage out of the box at the back and put it in the carriage, freeing up an empty box to stuff the two of them in, which shows how big the box is.
I was afraid of suffocation, so I left some gaps for ventilation.
Shi Qing asked, and said that the top of the mountain was contracted by two sisters, and the second in charge was the innkeeper they said, and the big one was on the mountain.
The fat sheep that usually pass by, those who are persuaded to stay in the inn are cleaned up by the second master, and those who do not listen to the persuasion are stopped by the master when they go to the foot of the mountain.
As long as they meet, they will not be able to get out of this forest.
"How come the local magistrate doesn't care?" Shi Qing was puzzled.
It stands to reason that this place is not far from the capital, how can there be such a bandit?
"The county magistrate, send someone to shout twice on the 15th of every month, and then withdraw the team."
The honest and honest one did not dare to deceive, and flatteredly said to Shi Qing, "After all, as long as we are here, the county magistrate can only ask for money to suppress the bandits. If we are gone, what will she want? silver?"
Over time, the bandits formed a tacit understanding with the yamen.
In this way, outsiders see that the yamen's suppression of bandits is effective, and they think that the county magistrate is really doing things for the people, but this bandit is cunning, always going and coming back.
"What is the name of this county magistrate?"
"It seems to be called Qian Kaitai. I heard that he has something to do with the high officials in the capital, and there are people in the palace. This is a good job."
The surnamed Qian in Beijing, and there are people in the palace, that is the family of Lord Qian of Shiyonghou.
"No hurry, let's take a look."
The robbers can't escape, and neither can the county magistrate.
Shiqing Mosquito rubbed his hands and looked at the two robbers with bright eyes, "How is your business?"
“…”
The robber watched Shi Qing's actions silently.
"You scared them both." Yun Zhi stared at Shi Qing, "Let me come."
After he finished speaking, he put the sword directly on the necks of the two of them, "Have you killed anyone? How many people are robbed every month?"
Such a large-scale robber is not a charitable business, and no one will believe that he has not killed anyone.
The robber hesitantly said, "There are always a few who are reluctant to give up money and accidentally touch the sword on the sword and wipe the neck..."
Shi Qing smiled, "Listen, is this a human word? It's the first time I've seen such a brazen person!"
The robber dared not refute.
How many orders per month?
It depends on how many people leave Beijing every month.
The robbers are not without brains and courage, they will first send someone to investigate the situation of the fat sheep, if they bring a team of people, it is called "tiger", not they can take it.
Unsure like this, they may not move.
Only Shi Qing was the only one who didn't have any men and horses, and also brought a man's family.
Who knew that this time I met the iron hoof, but was robbed by the "sheep".
After Shi Qing asked, he gagged the man and stuffed it into the box, and let Mihe drive towards the inn.
There are generally five women in the inn, except for the second master, there are only four servants, and the force is not strong, mainly relying on drugs.
The second master is about 40 years old this year. He is kind and kind, and his body is slightly fat and fair, and he looks like a good old man.
Standing by the window on the second floor of the inn, she saw a chubby "sheep" coming towards her Hell Palace under the setting sun from a distance, with indescribable joy in her eyes.
"What's the matter with this big happiness and San Qiao? I didn't find out about such a fat parent, and I didn't inform us in advance to prepare."
The people around her replied, "The two may have fallen asleep again drunk."
"Lazy people, if the business is delayed, they will be skinned sooner or later!"
The second master winked with the people around him, "Get ready."
"Yes."
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the inn, Yun Zhi wearing agate spanners opened the curtain and came down first, Shi Qing followed behind.
The second master warmly greeted him, "How many rooms do you two want?"
"Three first-class rooms." Shi Qing stretched his fingers and said, "We have one."
Meaning Mihe and Yaqing, "these two share a room."
The shopkeeper shouted inward, "There are three upper-class rooms, and the guests are tired. First bring the herbal tea, and then boil the hot water for washing."
The shopkeeper led Shi Qing and Yun Zhi in while looking at the carriage.
This car and this box look fat.
The sky is getting late and the twilight is all around.
Mihe drove the car to the backyard, and said to the young man next to him who said he was here to feed the horse but stared at the horse, "Feed good grass, oh yes, the two behind Don't open the box."
After she finished speaking, she went to the front yard.
As soon as Mihe left here, the second child spat, "If you say I won't open my mother, I won't open it? Don't look at what we are doing."
Pry the lock with a knife.
inside.
Xiao Er was shocked, "This, this, what's the situation, what's the matter with you?"
She reached out and took off the cloth from Daxi's mouth, Daxi took a deep breath, and the only words to say were:
"Run! Run!"
Before Little Er could react, Mihe knocked her out from behind with a mace.
Looking at the little Er who was lying limply on the ground, Mihe shook her head, "Tell you not to open it, you must not listen."
Daxi hurriedly lowered her head again in fear, shrugging her shoulders silently.
Mihe closed her mouth again, **** the little Er, and then found the grass herself to feed the horse.
The shopkeeper in the front hall was still entertaining Shi Qing and Yun Zhi, but he was a little suspicious.
"Here comes the herbal tea"
Another Xiao Er brought the tea.
The shopkeeper smiled and gestured to the two of them, "The weather is getting hotter, drink some herbal tea to relieve fatigue."
Shi Qing sat on the long stool, looked at the tea in front of him, reached out and took the tea cup, not drinking but just playing with his hands.
Yun Zhi, who was sitting side by side, didn't even look at the tea, just pulled his sleeve and wiped his scabbard.
The gems on the scabbard are all beautiful and precious, and at first glance they are expensive.
Shi Qing blinked and asked the shopkeeper, "I heard that there are bandits around here, how dare you open an inn here?"
The shopkeeper's heart immediately thumped, and he instantly retracted his eyes glued to the gemstone, raised his eyes to Shi Qing, smirked and said, "It's not to support the family, there is no way to live."
Shi Qing gave a dubious "Oh".
She gestured to hold up the tea cup to drink tea, but the shopkeeper took the tea cup from her hand one step ahead of her, looked down carefully, and scolded the little Er beside her, "How can I give the guests What about stale tea? Why don't you go get a new one soon?"
The shopkeeper smiled and cupped his hands and said, "I'll take a look, this little second-hand is stupid, and may not be able to distinguish between old tea and new tea."
Get up and leave.
Shi Qing stretched, Yun Zhi and the others left before asking her, "I know they have a problem, why don't you do it?"
"Tie them up, who will boil hot water for us tonight?"
Shi Qing rested his elbow on the table, looked at Yun Zhi with one hand on his face, and asked with a smile, "Young Master, will you heat me a hot bath?"
Yun Zhi took a deep breath, reached out and pinched her face and turned to the other side, her eyelashes fluttering, "I sleep with Ya Qing at night."
Why didn't he realize that Shi Qing's peach eyes were particularly demagogic when he smiled?
Yun Zhi let go of Shi Qing, holding the sword and raising his foot to go upstairs, Shi Qing stretched out his hand to hold his wrist.
Yun Zhi stepped sideways and looked at her, Shi Qing looked up at him, and half-truthly said, "What if they attack me in the middle of the night?"
Compared to Yaqing, she must kill Shiqing first.
Shi Qing released Yunzhi's hand and deliberately lay on the table, "Forget it, I'll sleep by myself."
Yun Zhi sat back slowly, putting the sword beside Shi Qing.
Shi Qing lay on the table with his head resting on his arm and looked at him, raised his eyebrows slightly, "Sleep with me or sleep with Yaqing?"
Cloud was silent.
Shi Qing stretched out his hand and poked at his tightly pursed lips slightly flushed face, smiled, "Are you going to sleep with me, or do you want to sleep with me?"
"Hey? Don't go, what's wrong with a serious husband and wife talking about this topic?"
"What are you running! I don't eat people."
Yun took two steps and made one step and strode upstairs, Shi Qing smiled and followed behind to look at him.
After the two went upstairs, the shopkeeper personally took someone to the backyard to check the carriage.
"Second Master, why didn't you stun them just now?" The little Er who brought the tea asked in a low voice.
The tea was about to be put into my mouth, and was just stopped by the second master.
"Stupid pig, we didn't receive a signal from Daxi and Sanqiao, but that person knew there were robbers nearby, isn't that enough to explain the problem?"
There are no ordinary people in the surrounding countryside, but the other party knows about the mountain bandits, which can only mean that they have seen Daxi and Sanqiao.
"Something may have happened to them. Maybe this is not an ordinary fat sheep with open teeth."
And the men she just sent to check the carriage, maybe the same as Daxi and Sanqiao.
The second master let people carry lanterns and brought three second children to the backyard.
She looked around vigilantly and saw that the husband and wife and the maidservant were not there, so she let people pry open the box.
The light appeared in front of her eyes again, Daxi squinted his eyes and saw the second master's eyes standing in front of the box in surprise.
"Rejoice! Sanqiao!"
The second master took a breath, and she said it was not easy.
Daxi was untied and released from the box.
She took the second master's arm and said tearfully, "Second master, run quickly, that couple is the robber!"
"?"
Second Master was at a loss.
The husband and wife are robbers, so who are they?
