Chapter 243: Half a Day (1)
Chapter 243 Half a Day (Part 1)
Spring is coming, on the North Shore Pier of Wansheng Mansion
Fang Xin took Xiao Anning, Liu Zhu, and four swordsmen to stand on the dock
The ferry slowly approached the dock, and the passengers were preparing to get off the boat, and the first thing the group encountered was the inspection department.
The Inspection Department regards the inspection as the ninth rank official, which is equivalent to the police chief. The official officer below is the police officer, and the lower is the patrol officer. All passengers must show the exit route and be on the station, and the exit inspection and customs are stamped on the station.
Two policemen and four patrolmen checked the passenger's route one by one, and stamped the inspection seal, with chilling eyes.
When the passengers were cleared, the sailors and servants began to remove the garbage on the boat. Soon, the water from a large basin pounced on it, and the garbage swept directly into the river.
"Let's go!" Fang Xin smiled faintly: "Let's take it!"
"Yes, sir!" Liao Cheng said, this time, he was a businessman, carrying a silver medal in the public office, and he was considered a semi-official person. He could stay in the inn along the way, and at critical moments, he could also ask for help from the government along the way.
Don't underestimate this. The post station was an ancient place for people who conveyed palace documents and military intelligence or officials who came and went to and changed their horses on the way. It was an official institution. In the 200 years since the establishment of the empire, few people dared to attack and kill people at the post station.
Liao Cheng stepped forward and showed the waist sign of the guards of the Duke's mansion. The inspector immediately became polite. As for the boat, he responded directly. After a moment, he came back: "Sir, the matter has been done."
"Very good!" Fang Xin said, but this time he was ordered, it was a matter of the Duke's Mansion. Cheng Jia, the manager who went out to do business, disappeared in Zeng Ming County, thousands of miles away, and the goods with him were also missing.
Thirty thousand taels are already a big number, and even the Duke's Mansion has to feel heartbroken.
Of course, what is more important is authority. Who dares to attack and kill the officials in charge of the government? It must be found out and severely punished.
Fang Xin is this task this time.
After waiting for a while, the spring was shining. When the deck was dry, some water was added. Fang Xin entered and after a little trimming, the boat went down the way.
In the afternoon, Fang Xin stood on the deck and watched the banks of the river.
The pleasure boat is gorgeously decorated and has a large area, with chefs, tea, sailors, and even defenses on it. It is generally used to ripple and play on the water surface, making it convenient to enjoy the landscapes in the water and on both sides of the shore, and sometimes it is also used for banquets.
Liu Xiyi of the Tang Dynasty once wrote a poem about "The Song of Jiangnan": "The smoke in the pleasure boat is shallow, and the sun is faint at the end of the sun."
However, it is also possible to fly, so I booked it this time.
Fang Xin has a thirty-year-old appearance, a slightly handsome face, a calm expression, and a deep and unpredictable eyes, making people not know that they are not an ordinary person at first sight.
Under the command, the big mast was covered with sails, and the pleasure boat headed towards the destination at the speed of a galloping horse.
Fang Xin's eyes fell on the fields on both sides of the straits.
At this moment, seeing the ship disappear, the group withdrew their sight.
This is a restaurant on the upper floor, and you can look down from a high place. There are about fifteen people inside. Two people standing at the core, one is a swordsman and the other is a swordsman. Just standing like this, you can feel the intimidating aura they emit.
Behind them are ten men and three women, one of whom is more fierce than the other, while the three women have concave and convex curves that are fascinating, but they cannot hide the wind and frost of being in the world for a long time.
"Listen, this time, this person must be buried!" A unique awesome light of the Jianghu Haoke emerged in the swordsman's eyes: "The other party is the master, we must attack and attack."
"Don't worry, brother!" Except for that swordsman, everyone else was respectful.
In ancient times, boats could not travel at night, so although they were a pleasure boat, they arrived at Nangang County after walking for a long time. Although Nangang County was just a county, there were also piers to stop.
The food was prepared on the pleasure boat, but it also had to be replenished along the way. This time it was supposed to be repaired and replenished one day, but now it is half-commissioned and used. There is not much food on the boat, so it must be replenished here. So, the group got on the shore and arrived at a hotel.
People on the pleasure boat will naturally negotiate with the hotel and buy various food ingredients.
But Fang Xin and others entered and went to the dining table.
Since they were outside, they had dinner together. There were not many tourists here, only sixteen or seventeen diners.
The seven people found a seat in the corner. After a glance, they saw four warriors on the table. After a few glances, the warrior with a knife on the opposite side became a little unfriendly. They looked at him fiercely and stared at two girls with bright eyes and white teeth.
It is not this kind of ancient society that we cannot understand the horror of hierarchy at all.
Although Liao Cheng was a third-class guard of the Duke's Mansion, he was also considered an official and had the power to kill and kill the general public. He glanced at everyone because of his responsibilities. Now there were still people watching him back and suddenly became angry.
But Fang Xin didn't say anything, so he smiled coldly and ignored him.
The four warriors on the other side saw four swordsmen, and they were also a little worried. They glanced at them with sharp eyes. They didn't have an attack at that time, but just shouted: "Shopkeeper, serve the food!"
At this moment, both tables served and had wine. Gradually, the wine on the other side came to the scene.
A warrior stared at the two women and browsed their curvy bodies freely. The more he looked, the more angry he became. After drinking a drink, he suddenly snorted, took a few steps and arrived at Fang Xin's table.
"Come on, this guy, I'll give you a cup!" But his eyes were staring at the two girls.
Fang Xin frowned and ordered, "Turn out this crazy gangster."
In fact, Liao Cheng and others have gained some benefits in the past year and a half. After being guided by Fang Xin, their martial arts gradually improved. At this time, they heard a slap of lightning, and a "pop" sounded throughout the room, and immediately five fingerprints appeared on the man's face.
The man fell out, but the wine glass did not fall, and the wine was poured all over his body, and he was in a panic. He was stunned at first, and then he realized his situation and was furious: "Kill these dog thieves!"
Liao Cheng sneered, pounced on him, and his palm spit out a sudden burst of wind and thunder.
The warrior immediately got a palm, and immediately fell out again, and a mouthful of blood was spurted out.
Behind, the three swordsmen of the Duke Mansion slowly held the hilt of the sword, with a stern murderous intention. They were from the government, so what was the big deal to kill a few people?
That table was in the world, and there was some vision. It was too late to be prepared for a slap at the beginning. Now this palm showed the skill. I first helped it up and found that it was injured, but it was not fatal. The person in the leader said, "Everyone, my second brother just came up to toast, why do you do this?"
"Hmph, don't argue with me. If you dare to offend my husband again, you won't be killed!" Liao Cheng's tone was gloomy.
This kind of grand and domineering aura, under normal circumstances, only the officials can easily distinguish something. The four of them changed slightly. After looking carefully, they did not dare to say more, so they hurriedly retreated out
"Sir, disturb me." Liao Cheng immediately showed a respectful expression when he saw them leaving.
"It's okay, I've finished it too." Fang Xin said.
Since the pleasure boats have to be completely cleaned up today and the goods are added, Fang Xin stayed in the inn overnight.
There are four rooms in this inn, and they are all large rooms. The rest are all large rooms. Only those with generous people will sleep together in those places.
There are four upper rooms, one of which is of course Fang Xin, another one of which is Xiao Anning and Liu Zhu, and two, which belong to two swordsmen.
After eating and washing my feet, it finally became dark. Soon after it was dark, the wind passed by, the spring thunder shook, and then it started to rain, which was very dense.
Liu Zhu first came to serve, closed all the doors and windows, lit candles, and lay the bed for him.
The candle is long and long, and it is a long bright candle that can burn all night. Although one is not very bright, the flame will light up on the three points, but it just sways in the breeze that penetrates through the gap, and the light will flash. It will be very painful to read a book like this.
Fang Xin was drinking tea, and he hit the tiles on the tiles. He said, "You go back to your room!"
"Yes, sir." Liuzhu said obediently, opened the door and left.
After Fang Xin finished drinking the tea, at this moment, another spring thunder was blown. Among the spring thunder, a man in black suddenly rushed into the yard outside.
Fang Xin frowned and suddenly flew up. When he reached the window, the window automatically opened and the room could be found.
The heavy rain fell and found four black shadows. Two were approaching the female family's room. Fang Xin did not hesitate anymore. The sword light flashed, and the near black shadow realized that there was something strange in his voice. His body turned rapidly. He felt a pain in front of him and was hit on the point of view.
After being hit, he groaned, but immediately felt a pain in his heart and fell down.
Another black shadow was shocked and felt a flash of sword light. Fang Xin, three meters away, attacked him. He also groaned and fell to the ground.
Almost at the same time, there was also a sword light flashing in the female room. Fang Xin stood in the rain, and the raindrops hit his clothes, but he did not even notice it, and did not step forward, just watch it.
After a while, two black shadows fell out and fell to the ground with a "touch" sound.
Fang Xin knew it with just a feeling, and smiled: "I didn't kill anyone!"
At this time, the swordsman of course noticed it, rushed out, and saw that he understood everything.
"Miss didn't kill anyone, you killed me." Fang Xin said.
"Yes!" The swordsman immediately stepped forward, and everyone added a sword. Blood splattered, and the rain was stained. Fang Xin glanced lightly and returned to the room.
Close the window, everything in the room is still the same, the candle wick is bright.
Although I was soaked all over, I didn’t need to change my clothes. A little steam came out and the clothes were dry.
The raindrops continued to fall, and Fang Xin slept calmly. Fortunately, the rain stopped before dawn. Of course, four people died, which alarmed the store owner and the local police.
But these four people looked like burglary at first glance. And when Liao Cheng showed his official sign, the inspector who came was very polite. He just asked about the situation and asked for permission to let him go
However, the official business was troublesome. Although it was very refreshing and delayed the morning, it ended up having a Chinese meal in the store. It was sent out by the owner who was respectful and did not even charge money. After the owner gave it out, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Chapter completed!
