Chapter 196 Jianghu People
The old beggar frowned.
He could vaguely see a donkey cart moving leisurely along the street.
There was a Taoist priest sitting upside down on the back of the donkey, girl No. 1 sitting on the carriage, and a strong man walking beside the carriage. This group of people looked strange, and he couldn't help but look at it twice more. Eye.
Looking more, I found that I seemed to be dazzled and could not see the approaching donkey cart.
I could only vaguely notice that the people on the street were inexplicably diverging to both sides and giving way.
The old beggar couldn't help but feel surprised.
His Taoism is already considered high among the Jianghu people present. He has specially trained a pair of golden eyes. If he can see, he will be flawless. Fog illusions cannot deceive him, and dreams and bubbles cannot frighten him. As long as he is caught by Whatever he sees, he will definitely keep an eye on.
This is the first time he has seen this illusory and dreamlike situation!
Full of doubts, I can’t see it when I rub my eyes.
"What are you doing?"
"I saw a donkey cart just now, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye."
"Are you dazzled?"
"I It's not like you don't know about these eyes..."
The old beggar gave up the idea of arguing and just asked:
"Are you leaving now? What do you want to do?"
The old woman rolled her eyes at the old beggar:
"There are so many good people around now. Are you really not afraid of my death?"
"How capable are you? The people around you who are tied up by these charlatans may not be your opponents. How is that possible? Are you afraid that you can't do it?"
"Old man, you want to fight. Go! ”
"Hehe." The old beggar said with a smile: "You don't know how long it has been since I entered the world. These people here are all young people, and I don't know any of them. Do you want to tell me something? Don't worry about me after I go out. I accidentally fell into the trap and was tricked to death by the young man."
The old woman sighed and started talking to the old beggar:
"The four over there are the four outstanding figures in the forest. Nowadays, there are still capable knights in the world, probably around the middle of the day after tomorrow. It turns out that they are all from Xuzhou. After the disaster in Xuzhou, they came to Yuzhou. They gathered here today probably for the sake of the remaining scrolls of the capital.
“Those two over there are Southern Monsters and Northern Evils, and they are prominent evil people in the world. The southern monster likes to find beautiful women to cut and eat, while the northern monster specializes in digging out men's private parts. Countless people died at the hands of both of them. They are all half-step innate methods.
"The wooden swordsman over there is a heroic man who has only become famous in the world in recent years. He is excellent in both ability and means. Others estimate that he should have mid-term acquired skills, but he is young. Fighting with others is more about looking for his missing wife than fighting with others.”
After talking about these people, the old beggar's eyes first fell on the young warrior of the wooden sword, and then looked at the southern monster and the northern evil.
“How can I say that?”
“That young man is good, he is upright. He is a good young man. As for this strange guy from the south and the evil from the north... Hehe, there will be no one after a while, old beggar. I have to go and beg for a bowl of rice from them.”
The old beggar smiled broadly.
The old woman knew very well what the old beggar meant.
If the person he begged for food couldn't give him something that satisfied the old beggar, he would have no choice but to keep his head.
“Where are those people from the Yanxun Gang?” The old beggar asked again: “I still remember how high-spirited they were during the last Xianyang Conference. Why can’t I see anyone recently??”
"They went to Jingzhou, saying that they wanted to do a great job with King Chang. They don't know how they are doing now." The old woman sighed: "If those heroes were here, what happened to the remaining scrolls of the capital?" At least there are people working together, so they won't be like a bunch of dull dogs like now."
"Hey, I guess even a few of them will be upset when they see the fragments of the capital. Being greedy, he is no better than other knights. "The old beggar said: "It's better not to come here. Being able to earn a living from the public family means you are safe and don't want to ruin your good reputation."< br>
“Don’t be too harsh on your juniors.”
"This is what Jianghu is like."
The old beggar looked around and looked at the so-called Jianghu people around him.
Every knife licks blood, and there are still some problems in the brain. He comes all the way here to fight for a book of cultivation techniques that have been cursed. Others say they still don’t believe it, but in the end they might It was bloody.
Greedy.
“So you want to take advantage of this group of people to make trouble?”
"These boring people have been sitting here for almost a week, and they can't use up any more."
As if to confirm the old woman's words. Not far away, Nanguai, who had been silent all this time, slammed the table with a fierce look. He stood up and shouted:
"There has been no movement in the government for a long time. Maybe they are waiting for the governor to come with his troops. If you continue to sit here, don’t even think about the scraps of the capital! Which heroes are willing to accompany me to snatch back the scraps that should belong to the children of Jianghu!”
The old woman and the beggar! Look at each other.
The opportunity is here!
...
When he arrived at the gate of the official residence, Zuo Chen lifted part of the hiding technique.
The nervous government servant who was standing guard at the door suddenly found a group of weirdos in front of him. He was so frightened that he screamed on the spot, his legs went weak, and he almost fell to the wall.
"You...who are you? Are you also robbing books?"
I mustered up the courage to raise the killing stick in my hand, but my voice was trembling at the end of my words.
"I'm Zuo Chen. I'm from Youzhou." Zuo Chen dug into his arms, took out an iron plate, and handed it to the officer in front of him.
The yamen servant looked up and found that the two characters "WEIWANG" were engraved on the iron plate!
Just gasped.
This yamen servant is still young and has little experience. Where has he seen anything like this?
I didn’t dare to bet that this thing was fake, so the yamen servant could only nod and bow: “I’ll go in and report it right away. I hope you guys will wait a moment.”
Leave in a hurry. Zuo Chen took back the leaves in his hands and lamented that he was not well prepared before leaving and did not ask for an iron plate from King Wei.
It didn’t take long for the government servant to enter the door before an old man in official uniform walked out of the door.
The old man came to Zuo Chen, looked him up and down, and then asked: "Are you Zuo Chen, Taoist Master Zuo?"
"Exactly." Zuo Chen nodded.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw tears falling from the old man opposite him:
"Master Zuo! You are finally here!" The old man cried and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves.
Seeing the old man with runny nose and tears, Zuo Chen was stunned.
Huh? Why do you start crying when you hear my name?
"My dear Zhong Zuoyong, Lord Jing told me about your arrival a few days ago. He asked me to prepare to entertain you, but I can't send anyone out because of the gangsters surrounding you. Let alone pick you up. You.”
Magistrate Zhong cried and explained:
“You must help us, those charlatans are really bullying us!”
Zuo Chen looked at this person up and down. Magistrate Zhong:
"Didn't you report this matter to your superiors? There are so many Jianghu people, and your few yamen servants alone should not be able to keep that fragment of the book."
Zhong County Magistrate He hesitated:
"You already know what happened... The main reason is that there were not so many people in the past two days. I thought these Jianghu people did not dare to surround the county government..."
"The booklet has already been It’s been in your hands for a month.”
“…”
Magistrate Zhong stopped talking.
Zuo Chen couldn't tell that Magistrate Zhong was also greedy and wanted to keep the scraps in his hands, so he didn't report it to the superior at all.
As a result, the matter has now become a big deal and has been reported to the higher authorities, but the number of quacks has also increased.
After all, King Jing is the King of Benevolence and Righteousness. He cannot really let the cavalry trample over Jiang Hu Ke, so he can only suffer the grievances of the Yamen.
Of course, it is a bit like using this method to punish Magistrate Zhong and let him reflect on it.
I could only sigh helplessly:
“Have you read the brochure?”
"Not yet..."
"You really haven't read it?"
"...I have read it, but I haven't learned anything in it." When Magistrate Zhong said this, his face There was a hint of bitterness on the book, "There is a layer of magic formula wrapped on top of the book. The contents of this book are all messy. You can never turn to the first page, and you can never turn to the last page. You can't even read it." Not to mention how to learn it."
Zuo Chen raised his eyebrows.
It sounds like someone has used a magic method for protection.
"Please give me the booklet first."
"Huh?" Magistrate Zhong looked at Zuo Chen hesitantly: "You also want this booklet because you are so powerful?"< br>
He hesitated in his words, how could Zuo Chen and his group not understand what he meant?
The county magistrate thought that Zuo Chen was also coveting the secrets in the remaining scrolls of the capital!
Zhu Laoba immediately became unhappy:
"The Taoist Master is helping you! You don't know what's on the capital's inheritance! If you really understand that thing, you'll almost go crazy!"
After hearing this, Zhu Laoba If so, Magistrate Zhong still looked hesitant. He thought about it for a while and sighed:
"Come in first, I'll get the booklet."
That's it. He led everyone into the county government office and asked them to wait in the courtyard for a while while he entered the back hall.
Staring at the retreating figure of Magistrate Zhong, Caiyi asked:
"Will he take out the booklet?"
Zuo Chen shook his head: "The greed is still there, let alone taking the booklet. He will probably keep prevaricating us and pushing this matter away."
< br>"It makes me look like I lied." Zhu Laoba said angrily: "If he really understands the booklet, he will probably have to have a Taoist exorcism."
Zuo Chen said nothing.
Nowadays, things with the name of the capital are likely to be the source of disaster, but this thing is still attractive enough to mortals, and it is simply more eye-catching than gold and silver treasures.
Who wouldn’t want to pick up a top-grade Heavenly Immortal Secret Book?
No longer thinking about this, several people, led by the Yamen servants, entered the courtyard and sat down, waiting for Magistrate Zhong to return.
I didn’t rest for long when I suddenly heard a quarrel coming from outside the hospital.
Zuo Chen turned his head and looked outside the courtyard, only to see that a lot of people from the world had gathered there, all with fierce looks on their faces!
He actually planned to storm the county government office!
"Are these charlatans crazy? They really dare to attack the county government!"
Caiyi was shocked.
Zuo Chen raised his eyebrows:
"Zhu Laoba, go and help the county government officials."
"Okay!"
Zhu Laoba stood up and strode towards the county government office.
