Chapter 9 The so-called cutting of grass and eradication

Xiangling is the nearest county to Pingyang Fucheng, under normal circumstances, starting from Mao, sitting in a carriage, two o'clock in the unitary hour, you can reach Pingyang Fucheng.

Stayed in Xiangling County for a day, Su Tiancheng has been with the old man, the old man did not say much, at noon, it seemed that he was drunk, Su Tiancheng and Su Ertong together, helped the old man to the room of the inn, respectfully served the old man, and waited until the old man woke up early the next morning before leaving Xiangling County.

Su Tiancheng had been sitting in the carriage and put down the curtain.

Su Ertong insisted on sitting outside the carriage, leaning on the master who was catching the car.

But after half an hour, Su Ertong's hurried voice came.

"Young master, young master, there is someone ...... ahead"

Before Su Ertong finished speaking, the carriage stopped, and Su Tiancheng quickly got out of the carriage, he didn't forget to put on a hat and cover his face with a veil. After all, there are fifty taels of gold on his body, and more than ten taels of silver, which is already a huge wealth in the eyes of ordinary people.

The five steel knives seized, Su Tiancheng did not deal with it, he already knew that he had just crossed, and he didn't know a lot of things, and he didn't know much about it, and Su Tiancheng was a nerd before, without the slightest social experience. Going to the horse market to trade Mongolian horses is a very risky action, and you may be targeted, but fortunately, you wear a hat to cover your face, and you don't know who you are.

In the middle of the official road, three men on horses and hats blocked the way.

The coachman is a little strange, this is not far from the county seat, and there are a lot of people on the official road, can it be said that someone robbed in broad daylight, and the rogues who came to Pingyang Mansion were exterminated by the army of the imperial court in the first half of the year.

The coachman often went out, and he dealt with it according to the old rules, and after stopping the carriage, he quickly got out of the carriage and slipped aside.

Even if these people are rogues, they will not deal with him.

Su Tiancheng looked carefully at the man riding a horse in the middle, suddenly smiled, and opened his mouth to speak.

"Master Qu, don't come unharmed."

Qu Qingze, who was on horseback, was a little surprised, did not dismount, and returned the salute with his fists.

"Master Su, I've been waiting for a long time, but I didn't expect that Master Su would stay in the county for a day."

Su Tiancheng's heart began to shrink, what does this mean, isn't this Qu Qingze in a hurry to leave Xiangling County and go home, why are you still waiting here, do you want to snatch back those golds, and even do more excessive things.

"I also want to go home as soon as possible, but the old man's interest is very good, and I want to accompany him more. Didn't Qu Gongzi go home, why are you still delayed here, is there something urgent. ”

"Hehe, I am waiting for Su Gongzi below, if Su Gongzi is at ease, follow me to the side to take a look, if you are not at ease, you will not be reluctant to do so."

After Qu Qingze finished speaking, he turned over and dismounted, and handed the reins to the person riding next to him.

The two men on horseback dodged away, and the carriage was already passing.

Between the calcium carbide firelight, Su Tiancheng made a decision.

"Qu Gongzi has been waiting for a day, if he leaves like this, wouldn't it be boring, okay, Ertong, you wait here, I have some things with Qu Gongzi, just come when you go."

Su Tiancheng did not hesitate, took a step forward, and walked towards Qu Qingze, he judged by instinct, Qu Qingze could not have come to rob, besides, people were here to rob, and at such a time, it was impossible for him to leave safely.

Walking casually towards the grove next to the official road, Su Tiancheng was already highly concentrated, this contact with people, first the villain and then the gentleman, he must make all preparations to avoid special situations.

"Su Gongzi is very careful, are you worried about doing something dirty."

"Qu Gongzi laughed, he is a scholar and believes that all brothers in the four seas are brothers, but he doesn't have such suspicious thoughts."

"Haha......"

Qu Qingze looked up to the sky and smiled, and after walking into the grove, he decisively took off his hat.

Su Tiancheng was stunned for a moment, Qu Qingze is indeed a young man, but unlike ordinary young people, his face has a heroic aura, and his facial features are sharp and angular, if it is a few hundred years later, such a face is a standard military appearance.

Seeing Qu Qingze doing this, he also took off his hat and veil.

The two smiled at each other.

Silence is better than sound at this point.

After walking more than ten steps, Su Tiancheng suddenly saw that under a big tree, three people were tied firmly, their heads were wrapped in black cloth, and their bodies were trembling.

"Young Master Su, remember these three people."

"Remember, it's in the horse market that threatens the three people."

For what is the reason why Qu Qingze will know the three of them, it is said that only the old man knows the way, Su Tiancheng felt more and more that the identity of the old man was not simple.

"Su Gongzi must be strange, why would he catch these three people."

Su Tiancheng shook his head, there are some things, I don't know how to do it, the rivers and lakes are sinister.

"Hehe, these three people actually dared to follow them, after some torture, I found out that these three people, when they were in the horse market, they were eyeing Su Gongzi, so they detained three people and waited for Su Gongzi."

This remark is full of loopholes, Qu Qingze bought five Mongolian horses, plus other horses for trading, I don't know how many followers Lu Dao has, these three people just want money and don't want to die, and they won't attack Qu Qingze easily.

But Su Tiancheng will not break it.

"I see, these three people are bold, when they were in the horse market, they thought about robbing, and it didn't matter if they dealt with it, they didn't think of daring to break ground in front of Tai Sui, they really ate the heart of the bear and the gall of the leopard."

Qu Qingze was stunned for a moment.

"Su Gongzi is really good at talking, okay, I won't talk about this matter in the future, according to Su Gongzi's opinion, how should these three people be handled."

Su Tiancheng looked at Qu Qingze carefully, and didn't speak for the time being, two days ago, he had already killed five sergeants, could it be that he would kill people today, but Qu Qingze's meaning was already very clear, if he didn't agree, what kind of outcome would it be.

According to these three people, the crime is not death, but it is just a forcible robbery of horses in the horse market, and it is estimated that it is similar to those gangsters.

Seeing that Su Tiancheng didn't speak immediately, Qu Qingze spoke again.

"Su Gongzi probably thinks that these people are not guilty to death, there is one thing, I want to inform Su Gongzi, these three people have discussed, they will follow Su Gongzi along the road, if they find a suitable opportunity, what will they do, there is no need to explain in the next, these three people have explained themselves, they are not frequent visitors in the horse market, nor are they locals, they came to Xiangling County in the first half of the year."

"So that's the case, but I feel that since they have such evil thoughts, of course they are guilty of not punishable."

"Okay, Su Gongzi is refreshing, here are you and me, are you doing it, or Su Gongzi is doing it."

It seemed to be a conditioned reflex, Su Tiancheng thought about saying that he was a scholar, how could he kill people, but he faintly predicted and stubbornly suppressed this sentence.

"Qu Gongzi is embarrassed, look at it below, let's both do it, below is a scholar, responsible for one person, Qu Gongzi is harder, responsible for two people."

"Okay, I don't have any opinions, but I think that doing things is to be clean and neat, and you can't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and the ultimate scourge is yourself.

A few meters in front of the three people who were tied, there were two steel knives.

The words had already been spoken, there was nothing to hesitate about, Su Tiancheng stepped forward quickly and picked up the steel knife from the ground.

Then Qu Qingze, who picked up the steel knife, spoke again.

"Master Su, these three people, are they covering their heads, or are they uncovering the black cloth."

"Of course, the black cloth has been uncovered, and I don't want them to see Hades without knowing it."

Qu Qingze's expression was a little strange, as if he felt surprised, and felt that a scholar like Su Tiancheng had never seen it.

Su Tiancheng uncovered the black cloth on a person's head, and coincidentally, this person was the man who threatened him in the horse market.

"Brother, when Yama Hall goes to be reincarnated, find a good family and live in peace in the next life."

The man's face was full of horror and despair, but his mouth was stuffed with a cloth ball, and he couldn't speak.

Su Tiancheng cut the man's neck and watched the blood spurt out.

When they left the grove, the two put on their hats again and covered their faces.

"Su Gongzi, there are two more things in the next place, this first thing, the steel knife on Su Gongzi's carriage, or sold to the next, here are thirty taels of silver, Gongzi has put it away, the second thing, Su Gongzi will definitely participate in the township test next year, if there is a chance, I will come to Pingyang Mansion to visit Su Gongzi."
