Lin Jue thought for a while and said, "In this way, early tomorrow morning, we will leave for Changheng County to see the situation and find out what is going on." If there is a misunderstanding, then sort out the misunderstanding and explain it, and rescue Lao Wu and them. In short, let's figure out the situation first. ”

Yang Xiu nodded slightly, and suddenly asked, "What if the other party is really a mob?" Wouldn't it be dangerous for us to go to the mob of violent resistance to officials? In this way, tomorrow you don't have to go, I'll go. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "What's the matter, Brother Yang is strong in martial arts and is not afraid of mobs?" ”

Yang Xiu said: "That's not it, Brother Lin has a family and a room, and Mrs. Zun is about to give birth again, you can't have an accident." I, Yang Xiu, am alone, but I have nothing to fear. ”

Lin Jue was moved in his heart and said with a smile: "Brother Yang is sincere to me, I don't know what to say." But since we are friends, how can I let my friends go into danger? Rest assured, I'm not afraid of some mob. Tomorrow I will go with the guards of my house, and I will not be afraid of any mob. Before I go, I first went to the Changheng County Ya to ask their county order to go with me, and the soldiers and horses of their county Ya must go with me. This will always ensure safety. ”

Yang Xiu thought for a while and smiled: "If that's the case, it's reassuring." I'll have to see what the hell is going on, so let's go together. ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "That's nature, we should go together." Brother Yang, there is something I have always wanted to tell you, you are also not too young, more than thirty people, and you plan to live like this? ”

Yang Xiu said: "What do you mean? ””

"That's right, there are a lot of girls in my big theater, although they are a little lowly in background, but there are a few who are dignified. If this is the case, I will tell you a matchmaker, you can take a concubine, and take care of your daily life. What do you think? Lin Jue said with a smile.

"No, no, no, how can I have that blessing? I can't support myself, do I still take a concubine? If you marry me and can't give it to others, doesn't it hurt them to suffer with me? No, no, I'm fine. One person feeds and the whole family is not hungry, and they can do whatever they want, and they don't have to worry about trivial matters. Thank you Brother Lin for your kindness. Yang Xiu blushed and waved her hand repeatedly.

"There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is greater. Did Brother Yang's book read in vain? I don't have a place to live, so that's a thing? Let me tell you, all the women in my Grand Theater are little rich women, unless they don't look down on you, as long as they look down on you, your little money is really not enough for others to see. I only ask you to be the same, although they are from the dust, they are all personalities. If you dislike others, then I don't say anything. Even if you soar in the future, you can't dislike others, this is my minimum requirement. Lin Jue said.

Yang Xiu smiled: "Brother Lin, who do you dislike just like me?" I'll talk about this later, how can I be busy with this matter now? ”

Lin Jue said: "I'll mention to you first, don't let me shave my head and pick my head hot, and you can throw the back of my head when the time comes." I'll look for you, and the custodians are all pretty good-looking. That's it, I'll go back and I'll go back. ”

Yang Xiu smiled bitterly and was speechless, and said in her heart: How can you force people to be matchmakers so forcibly? This Lord Lin is really domineering.

Early the next morning, when Lin Jue arrived at the public housing compound, he was frightened by the situation inside. I saw that Yang Xiu and a group of old catchers had already been fully armed. It is said that it is fully armed, but it is not false at all. These old guys used to go out with only a whistle stick, and they didn't have knives. Because the knife is too heavy, it is quite heavy to carry on the body. But today, all of them hung their waist knives on their waists, and they didn't forget to hold the whistle stick in their hands.

What's more, a few old catchers didn't know where to take out a few tattered pieces of armor and put them on their bodies. The jingle bell is like picking up rags on the street.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Jue smiled bitterly.

"Go with an adult to save someone. Although we have old arms and legs, we can still help adults. The old brothers discussed it and went with the adults together. An old catcher with a gray beard replied quickly.

Lin Jue looked at Yang Xiu, Yang Xiu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's none of my business, I have already made it clear to them, and the adults don't need them to accompany them, but they don't listen." It's all waiting for adults here. I can't persuade me, what can I do? ”

Lin Jue smiled at the crowd and said, "Brothers, I know your intentions, Lao Wu has been detained, and you are very anxious and angry. However, this matter is arranged by the official himself. You don't need to go. Everyone, disperse and do what you are doing. ”

An old catcher wearing a torn helmet shouted, "What? Don't adults look down on us old arms and legs? When I was young, Lao Huang was a ruffian who fought a few times. Even now, I'm fine with a few mobs. I'll play a set of knife tricks for adults, and adults will know that I'm not bragging. ”

As he spoke, Lao Huang pulled out his posture, and Canglang pulled out his waist knife, and his movements were vigorous and neat. Then he grabbed his waist knife and played on the spot. Not to mention, a set of knife skills is playful. After three moves and two styles, Lao Huang took a posture of twisting the knife and did not move.

"Good! Lao Huang, dry beautifully. Everyone next to them applauded, Lao Huang gave them a long face, proving that they should be old and strong in front of adults, see what adults say.

Lao Huang still posed and did not move. Someone shouted: "It's okay, it's okay, Lao Huang, take it." ”

Lao Huang shouted with a bitter face: "You don't want to accept it, I twisted my waist." Come and help me, I can't move. ”

Everyone was stunned and scolded. The two old catchers quickly stepped forward and carefully supported Lao Huang, and slowly helped Lao Huang twist his posture. Everyone next to him seemed to be able to hear the clicking sound of the bones when Lao Huang's old waist turned.

Lin Jue couldn't help laughing and ordered, "Hurry up and get some medicinal wine to massage him." Lao Huang, I have seen you when you are always strong. But this time it's just a small thing, and it won't cost you to go out. The next time you encounter something dangerous, how about asking you to come out again? It's the same with you, you're all elite soldiers, and I won't use you until it's critical. ”

Lao Huang was ashamed to die, and was helped aside to rest amid everyone's complaints. Lin Jue said to Yang Xiu: "Brother Yang, let's go, the horses are waiting outside." ”

Yang Xiu hurriedly said: "Didn't you say that you want to go with capable people?" What about people? ”

Lin Jue smiled and turned around to go out. Yang Xiu and the officials followed, but saw seven or eight guards waiting outside on tall horses at the door of the public house. Although none of them wore armor, they were equipped with long knives at their waists and bows and arrows behind their backs. The officials are ashamed of themselves, and this is what they call elite soldiers and strong generals. In the middle of the seven positions, Bai Bing changed into men's clothes and sat on a horse, and he was also heroic.

Yang Xiu was relieved, led the horse to turn over and got on the horse, Lin Jue instructed Yu Deshui to say a few words, and led the group to whip and kick, and galloped away.

The group went out from Beicheng and went straight to the northwest of the capital. The north of Bianliang is a flat land, Lin Jue once went out of the north city last winter, that time the sky fell heavily snowed, and the sword light and blood shadow in the broken temple was a terrifying night of killing. But this time it's June, and although the weather has begun to get hot, the plains are full of vegetation and greenery, and the scenery is pleasant. Compared to last year's cold winter, it is already two worlds.

Everyone galloped north along the official road, and when they crossed the Twenty-Mile Bridge, Lin Jue intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the broken temple on the left side of the road, which was already different from the original appearance. The original small temple caught fire and collapsed, and the earthen pagoda behind it collapsed at some point. It is now a land of ruins.

Lin Jue thought to himself: That case is still backlogged on his desk, including the disappearance of many Lang Zhong in the capital. The imperial court has been urging Zhu Zhirong to solve the case quickly, and Zhu Zhirong has also asked about the case many times and urged him to solve the case. Lin Juexin said that as long as he was in the criminal department for one day in this case, I am afraid that there is no possibility of solving the case. Could it be that he took the initiative to confess that he killed dozens of Jianghu characters that night, and kidnapped a group of Lang Zhong to cut off the clues.

Changheng County is located in the northeast of the capital, about more than 100 miles away from the capital. It is a small county in the remote area of Gyeonggi Province. Because it is in the north of the Yellow River, the terrain is bitter and cold, and it is not developed. In fact, although the counties under the jurisdiction of the capital belong to the capital, they have not been stained much by this. On the contrary, because of its proximity to Bianliang, there are a lot of labor matters, and it is harassed.

The group boarded the boat at Chengqiao Ferry and crossed the Yellow River, and galloped along the official road all the way to the northwest. Rao is strong man and strong horse, and his feet are fast, but it still took a whole day to enter the territory of Changheng County. At the beginning of the shift, he entered the county seat of Changheng.

Changheng County is a small county town with a population of less than 50,000, and the city wall of the county town is very high, because after all, it is close to the border towns, and every city has done enough in defense. The more than a dozen cities north of the capital are actually like this, which is also because there is basically no danger to defend north of Bianliang in the capital except for the Yellow River. Therefore, the imperial court strengthened these small counties one by one and built a relatively complete defense system to make up for the lack of defensive terrain. In fact, this is one of the reasons why the burden of the people of Gyeonggi is heavier than that of other places outside Gyeonggi.

Although the walls are tall and well-defended, once you enter the city, it is a different sight. In the small county town, the streets are narrow and the houses are dilapidated, and the houses on both sides of the main street are generally mud houses in the market towns and villages. The streets are also basically dirt streets, with deep ruts and ravines and potholes, and horses walking on them from time to time. In order not to hurt the horses, everyone had to choose to dismount and walk.

There are only a few wind lanterns swaying on the street every hundred paces. The front of the shops on both sides was pitch black, and there was no light. Compared with the Beijing market at night, although it is only a hundred miles apart, it is one heaven and the other is hell, which can be called two worlds.

Everyone walked silently on the streets, and when people were sleepy, they were even more depressed when they saw such a street market. There were few pedestrians on the streets, and only occasionally a few black shadows shrank past them, like lonely ghosts wandering in the dark.

After walking most of the street, there was finally a light in front of me, and it was the location of a square. A tall house that looks out of place stands on the north side of the square. There are also scattered shops around the square with lights on, and some aromas can be smelled on the tip of the nose.
