[Comprehensive] Our city lord is glamorous and noble

Chapter 84

"Have you heard?"

"What did you hear?"

"Zhao Lao Si is dead."

"Which Zhao Laosi?"

"How many old fourths Zhao are there? Naturally, it is the 'butcher Zhao' whom the six relatives do not recognize."

"Him? What's so strange about his death?"

The man paused and continued: "Butcher Zhao has too many enemies, it's normal to be killed anytime."

"But his enemies are often not people from the Jianghu."

"It's no big deal. A high-ranking official has a few poor relatives, let alone someone who knows martial arts. There is no hindrance to avenging relatives who don't know martial arts."

When the signboard of the restaurant in the capital was knocked down, one of the three dead was an official, no matter how big or small the official was, they were all officials.

In the same way, in a place like Jiangnan where there are so many heroes like dogs, if you hit a restaurant sign, you will be caught eight times out of ten.

Eight out of ten are capable of martial arts.

The man said: "It's normal for an ordinary person to have a relative who knows martial arts. Not to mention, Butcher Zhao's martial arts is not very good."

Thinking of this, the man frowned in disgust again, because he thought of Butcher Zhao's evil deeds.

There are two reasons why this Zhao Butcher is called Zhao Butcher.

One is his weapon, which is the butcher's knife, and the other is that he doesn't look like a human, but like a pig or an animal.

People don't need any reason to kill animals, so Zhao Butcher doesn't need any reason to kill animals.

Maybe it was just his whim, and he wanted to kill someone for fun, or maybe he thought that a girl from a good family was very beautiful and wanted to have sex with her.

If it's only the latter, his reputation may not be so bad, because some flower pickers in the Jianghu will do this, such as Pink Swallow, who likes both men and women.

Fen Yanzi's reputation is very bad, but there are still people in the world who are willing to live with him.

But Zhao Tuhu is different. Everyone in the world is ashamed to hear his name.

He likes to kill, so if he takes a fancy to a woman, he will not only rape her, but also kill the woman's family.

But this person's behavior is so outraged by both humans and gods. No one has taken the initiative to kill him. Naturally, it is because he is a very clever and cowardly person.

He never provokes people in the Jianghu, no matter whether they are powerful or weak.

He learned martial arts, as if to satisfy his evil desires. As for the targets of these desires, they are ordinary people who don't know martial arts.

They are all poor and lonely people.

So even if these people are killed, no one will come to seek revenge on him, and among the Jianghu people, there are very few people who will really act chivalrously to avenge ordinary people.

Butcher Zhao's reputation is only spread among unknown heroes. Although they know that his character is bad and his behavior is bad, but they are all low-level people living in the bottom of the rivers and lakes, and who will care about him.

But the other person said mysteriously: "Do you know that Butcher Zhao was not killed by someone?"

The man said: "What?"

His expression was a little surprised.

The other person was a little smug. He had already talked about this matter with nineteen people today, and he was very satisfied with the reactions of each of them.

It's all shocking, twisted, and unbelievable.

The person in front of him is just a little surprised now, but it's all because he hasn't talked about the most important part.

He said: "He was not killed by someone, his head was chopped off by a dog's head."

The man was taken aback, and murmured: "A dog's head guillotine?"

Another person said: "That's right, it's the guillotine used by the imperial court to kill Bai Ding, who has committed a heinous crime."

The man was in a trance, he couldn't believe what he heard, and said, "You mean, a man from the rivers and lakes was cut down by the dog's head of the court?"

Another said: "If it's not so bizarre, I'll tell you what to do."

The man said: "Did he kill some relatives of the dignitary's family, or did he stick it on the iron plate?"

Another said: "Neither."

The man said again: "In order to kill him, how many officers and soldiers died?"

Another said: "Not a single one."

The man finally couldn't hold back and said: "Then how did he die?"

Another person said: "He was caught by guards with knives and sent to the imperial palace."

The man said, "Are you joking?"

Another person said: "Do you think I will joke about this kind of thing?"

When the man heard this sentence, he believed more than half of it, and the remaining half was because his three views were shattered and he was half-believing in what he heard.

Can you really believe what he said?

The man said: "The guard with the knife, when did he have such great kung fu?"

Another person said: "Because they are not ordinary guards with knives, it is said that their hand stretching is very good, no worse than the Jianghu people."

The man asked, "Six doors?"

Another person said: "No, it seems to be a new Yamen."

"A yamen that specializes in managing Jianghu people."

He finally came back to his senses, but there was a bit of indignation in his speech.

He said: "It's good to kill people, but how can an official manage the affairs of people in the Jianghu."

The boundary between the rivers and lakes and the court is even clearer than the crimes committed by Zhao Tuhu.

The affairs of the Jianghu people should be solved by the people of the Jianghu. What kind of love and hatred, what kind of villains and scum, should be dealt with by themselves.

If the court stirs up the muddy water, not only will it not applaud because there is one less scum, but it will show a very strange expression.

There is no need for outsiders to intervene in the affairs of their Jianghu people.

It would be better to let Butcher Zhao get away with it if the dog-headed guillotine were to be punished.

There is not only one person who has such an idea.

But even if the people in Jiang Hu were dissatisfied, in a short period of time, many criminals who were as vicious as Butcher Zhao were sent to the guillotine.

Some are flower pickers, some are bandits, and some are murderers.

Revenge in the rivers and lakes is irrelevant, but if it is an impromptu killing that kills many civilians, it violates the law.

The law is different from the common law, and it is specially formulated for the people of the rivers and lakes.

But the purpose of the law is to protect ordinary people who have no strength but will be seriously injured by the people of the rivers and lakes.

Butcher Zhao, Lady Bee, Boy with Five Poisons, Granny Ghost...

One after another, people who have done a lot of evil in the human world but are not cared about by the people in the world, and those who are at large are sent to the dog's head.

There was a click, and the ground was covered with blood.

The head rolled quietly to the ground.

There is not even a person who is willing to collect the corpses for them.

Accumulating soil to form mountains and accumulating water to form abysses, these people are not well-known in the Jianghu. If anyone can know them, it is definitely because of the evil things they have done.

The death of one, two or three villains does not attract the attention of the Jianghu people, because they have many enemies. If they do not show up for ten days and a half months, nine out of ten people will be killed.

The people who killed them also made sense, because they did it for revenge!

Revenge is a very sacred word.

But when five or ten people died, and the blood sprayed out after the neck was severed was enough to stain the land red, even knights who didn't pay much attention to the common people would notice this.

What they paid attention to was not the deaths of these people, but the actions of the court.

Very angry, even a little wronged.

How can a person from the Jianghu be chopped off by a dog's head?

It was a little late for Lu Xiaofeng to know the news.

At that time, he was lying in the gentle village, with warm and fragrant nephrite behind him, and delicious wine and fruits beside him. He was living a bubbling life, how could he be in the mood to mix with other things.

All his heart and soul are devoted to women.

He stayed in Wenrou Township for three and three nights. If someone hadn't come to him, there would be a fourth day, a fifth day, and a sixth day.

But the people who came to Lu Xiaofeng came in very unusual ways.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't come out in Ruanrou Township, even the clothes were brought by Mr. Gui. Every day at noon, he guessed that he should get up, so he brought new clothes over.

It was the same today, I only heard the wooden door being knocked a few times, and then a man said outside: "Hero Lu, the clothes are here."

Lu Xiaofeng raised his voice without any doubt when he heard the words: "Come in."

The appearance of the tortoise is very unfamiliar, but Lu Xiaofeng doesn't care about these, there are more than a dozen tortoises in such a big building, how can he recognize everyone one by one?

He can't recognize all the girls here.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Put the things there."

He reached out and pointed to the chair.

The person naturally lowered his head to agree, but he threw the clothes with his backhand and attacked Lu Xiaofeng with his fingers.

Lu Xiaofeng's face remained unchanged, even the beauty behind him was smiling, not panicking at all about this scene.

Who can get along with Lu Xiaofeng for a period of time, who doesn't have some skills?

Lu Xiaofeng stretched out two fingers and poked it, unexpectedly the strength of the person was vented in one direction.

He is also sensitive, he can almost know who is coming by poking his hand, at that time he laughed and scolded: "Sikong Zhaixing!"

Sikong Zhaixing's hands didn't change their appearance, Lu Xiaofeng knew who it was just by feeling.

Of course, it's because Sikong Zhaixing didn't hide him deliberately, otherwise, the two of them would have something to play with.

Lu Xiaofeng stretched out his hand to greet Sikong Zhaxing's face again, wanting to tear off a layer of skin on his face, but who knew that this person made a wrong step and said with a playful smile: "You can't let this layer of skin be torn off .”

If it was torn off by Lu Xiaofeng, wouldn't he know what Sikong Zhaixing looked like?

In this world, no one has seen his true appearance.

Even if Lu Xiaofeng was his friend, he couldn't show it to him.

This is a matter of principle.

Lu Xiaofeng withdrew two fingers and said, "What's the matter with you?"

Cut, if you don’t show it, you won’t show it.

The old god Sikong Zhaixing said: "Someone asked me to steal you."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Steal me?"

This Sikong Zhaixing is so powerful that he is the one who steals people.

Sikong Zhaixing smiled and said: "Because they know that if Lu Xiaofeng is unwilling to come out, but they want to find you, they must go through many channels and spend a lot of money."

Sikong Zhaixing said: "Instead of using those money to find you, it is better to give it to a professional person and let him take you there."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "You are the professional?"

Sikong Zhaixing raised his nose and said: "That's right."

He said: "There is no one in this world that I, Sikong Zhaixing, cannot steal."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "What do they want from me?"

Sikong Zhaixing said: "It stands to reason that this matter should not be told to you."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Don't tell me?"

Sizhong Zaixing took the next sentence slowly: "But it's okay to tell you this time."

Lu Xiaofeng put himself in a good posture and listened attentively.

Sikong Zhaixing said: "Do you know that a major event happened in the Jianghu recently?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I've been here for three days, and I've been sleeping to death in the tavern for the past ten days, do you think I know?"

Sikong Zhaixing said: "Then I will tell you directly."

Sikong Zhaixing said: "Butcher Zhao, Lady Bee, Granny Ghost, these people are all dead."

Lu Xiaofeng was taken aback and said, "Did they die together?"

Sikong Zhaixing said: "It's just these few days."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "It shouldn't be, although they are all very vicious and deserve to be killed, but the fact that they have survived to this day at least proves that they are all cunning."

Cunning people tend to live a long time

Sikong Zhaixing said: "But they are indeed dead."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "How did he die?"

The secretary picked up the stars and said: "I was cut down by the dog's head."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Doghead guillotine?"

He didn't realize it all at once, because for people in the Jianghu, what a dragon head is a tiger head and a dog head is really too far away.

They can imagine themselves killed by their enemies, or retired to the mountains and forests to die of old age.

However, the government?

Lu Xiaofeng said: "You said it was the court's dog-headed guillotine?"

Sikong Zhaixing said: "Is there a second one?"

He added: "It is said that before they died, they were deprived of martial arts and thrown into prisons to be tortured, because the crimes they committed cannot be solved by a simple death."

Lu Xiaofeng pondered: "This is actually a good thing."

He said: "Although there are not many villains like this in Jianghu, there are. Since no one accepts them, it is most legitimate for the government to take action."

He also knows that not everyone in this world can be lawless, and everyone has to follow the rules to do things.

It's not a law, but the moral bottom line in their hearts.

Because the law is of no use to them.

Sikong Zhaixing said: "That's right, with the crimes of these people, even if they die a thousand or ten thousand times, it's not a pity."

Sikong Zhaixing also agrees with Lu Xiaofeng's point of view. Although he is a thief, he is not an ordinary thief, but a thief with morals and ideals.

Theft can be stolen, very stolen.

It is only right and proper to use money to do things, but killing people is still a senseless massacre. To him, it is a very despised thing.

Sikong Zhaixing said again: "But you and I think so, many people don't think so."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Do those people think that the imperial court should not take care of Jianghu affairs?"

Sikong Zhaixing said: "Yes."

Lu Xiaofeng said again: "Do you know how these people were caught?"

Sikong Zhaixing shook his head and said, "I don't know."

He said: "They were able to be discovered because they were beheaded in front of the Yamen. If they hadn't died in full view, no one would have known about it until now."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "It's really strange."

Sikong Zhaixing said: "Don't talk about this first, those people gave me 1 taels and asked me to steal you there."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I'm only worth 1 taels?"

Sikong Zhaixing said: "In my opinion, you are not even worth a penny."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "At least I'm still very valuable in the hearts of many people."

Sikong Zhaixing said: "Don't talk about it, do you know what the people who are looking for you are planning?"

Lu Xiaofeng joked: "Could it be that they still want to discuss a way to stop the imperial court?"

Sikong Zhaixing said: "I really told you the right thing."

Lu Xiaofeng was startled: "I was joking."

Sikong Zhaixing said: "But they are very serious."

He added: "Many people feel that the imperial court intervenes, and people in the Jianghu will feel sorry for themselves."

Lu Xiaofeng sighed: "There's nothing shameful about it. They couldn't solve the problem. Now that someone else helped solve it, they still beat it up."

Sikong Zhaixing said: "You have to know, there are very few people with such a heart."

In most cases, an unfinished matter is solved by a more capable person. Not only will the unfinished person not be happy, he will not be grateful, but he will hold grudges and curse viciously.

Because it will make them lose face and compare themselves as incompetent.

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, turned around and said to the woman who had been quietly putting the vase, "You heard me, what do you think?"

The woman smiled brightly and said: "For ordinary people like us, it would be a good thing if the imperial court can supervise the Jianghu people."

Even if it is Hualou, those who make trouble in their place are often people from the rivers and lakes.

Ordinary people who have no money and credit can be thrown out or even beaten up by a strong tortoise, but it is not so easy for Jianghu people who know martial arts.

It's okay to go whoring for nothing, if someone imitates the behavior in the novel and directly tied up the oiran lady, that would be called a joke in the world.

It's a pity, looking up ten years ago, such absurd things really happened.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Look, she always said that."

Sikong Zhaixing said: "What's the use of you telling me, you have the ability to persuade those pedantic old guys."

He said again: "Are you going to walk over, or are you going to be carried by me in a sack?"

Since he has collected the money, he must bring him here.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I'd better go over there."

Who knows if Sikong Zhaixing will drag the sack along.

Fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March.

Most people in the world like to join in the fun, but Ye Gucheng is not included.

But now, he is also in Yangzhou.

He was not in Yangzhou to enjoy the flowers, but to have other important things.

It is about gold and silver treasures, rare stones.

Ye Gucheng looked very white and clean.

This kind of cleanliness makes people feel ashamed to put him together with copper coins.

But he is a person, and he is the lord of a city, so he often deals with money.

not to mention……

There was a flash of light in the eyes, but it was so fleeting that no one could see it clearly.

He has other things to do.

When you go to Jiangnan, you always have to eat two tables with the host, not to mention that Ye Gucheng's partner is Jiangnan Huajia.

largest realtor.

Hua Manlou sat opposite City Lord Ye and said, "I haven't seen you for a year, and City Lord Ye's martial arts has improved a lot."

Although he has no eyes, his perception is much stronger than that of ordinary people. In his eyes, City Lord Ye is not a person, but a misty mist.

He seems to have become a tree, an orchid, about to become one with nature.

Ye Gucheng said: "It's still far from the main road."

Huamanlou hesitated to speak when he heard Ye Gucheng's words.

Far from the avenue?But can he remember that he will fight Ximen Chuuxue half a year later?

Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows: on the night of the full moon, on the top of the Forbidden City, with a sword coming from the west, immortals fly from the sky.

Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng will meet at the top of the Forbidden City.

Although Hua Manlou knew about it, he didn't mention it much, because it was a very sad thing for him, so he actually changed the subject and talked about the little things that have caused a lot of fame recently.

Hua Manlou said: "City Master Ye has heard of something."

Ye Gucheng said: "What?"

Hua Manlou said: "Criminals full of crimes in the Jianghu were caught by the government and sent to the dog's head."

Ye Gucheng said: "I've heard of it."

Although Hua Manlou is a very kind person, just because of his kindness, he doesn't have the slightest affection for these hopeless criminals.

Most people in this world seem to be justifiable for their crimes, and they seem to have their own reasons and sufferings. Huamanlou will sympathize with these people.

But there is only one kind of person who is completely unworthy of sympathy.

Pleasure offender.

Therefore, as long as these villains were mentioned, Hua Manlou could hardly calm down the anger in his heart, and his attitude could be seen from the word "criminal" in his words.

Ye Gucheng sneered and said, "Not only have I heard about it, but I have also received letters from outsiders."

Hua Manlou said: "What letter?"

very curious.

Ye Gucheng said: "Let's find martial arts heroes and discuss important matters."

He is a real martial arts celebrity now, as long as there are such activities, there will definitely be letters sent to Feixian Island, but most of them are regarded as spam, and Lanfeng and Langyue directly stop them.

But this time the incident was too absurd and too special, Ye Gucheng actually saw the invitation as a joke.

Hua Manlou said: "Invitation, could it be the martial arts conference?"

Ye Gucheng said: "No."

He sneered: "They want to rebel."

Ye Gucheng said that the rebellion was an exaggeration.

Although the real situation is not far from what he said.

As Lu Xiaofeng who was tied up and had to attend this kind of bullshit meeting, he almost wanted to sigh.

Talented people come out from generation to generation, and after two years, a wave of heroes who are full of water has died, and a new wave has emerged.

Except for Lu Xiaofeng and the others who have been superstars for ten years, the other knight-errants are like wheat in the rice field.

It's still the kind that can receive three dials a year.

The host of this conference was probably very rich, so they didn't meet in a tavern, but found a large restaurant with luxurious interior furnishings and jewels.

As soon as Lu Xiaofeng followed Sikong Zaixing into the building, he was warmly welcomed.

There is no way, who told him that he has the biggest coffee position here.

Lu Xiaofeng saw that there were not many acquaintances here, and the bitterness in his heart was even more general.

These people can ask Sikong Zhaixing to steal him here, why can't they find a few more reliable people.

Even if they go together, his pressure will not be too great.

But who is the most down-to-earth hero who is as famous as Lu Xiaofeng and who likes to make friends the most?The other heroes are more or less aloof, how can ordinary knights be able to invite them?

Fortunately, the mastermind behind them was very rich, and allocated 1 taels, which was regarded as Lu Xiaofeng's appearance fee.

Lu Xiaofeng: Actually, I didn't get any money.

It is also very wronged.

After finally seeing Lu Xiaofeng, don't you want to be arrogant and respectful?

Lin Sanlang raised a glass and said, "It's really a blessing for us to be able to participate in the honor and participation of Daxia Lu."

He is a well-known swordsman in the rivers and lakes, ranked No. 19 in the sword manual, but because of his good looks and a pair of passionate peach blossom eyes, he has become the dream lover of many female heroes.

Facts have proved that no matter in that dynasty, women are very fond of small fresh meat.

He had met Lu Xiaofeng a few times, even though they were not friends, they could still speak a word or two.

None of the people present here seemed to be Lu Xiaofeng's friend, even Sikong Zhaixing who stole him ran away just now.

Lu Xiaofeng was bitter in his heart, but he wanted to force a smile on his face, he could only say: "Serious words, serious words."

But Lin Sanlang didn't feel the pain in Lu Xiaofeng's heart, he said: "Why is Hero Lu being so modest, I waited to send an invitation to the world's heroes, but none of the prestigious ones responded, only Hero Lu was present, so it seems that Hero Lu was alone worthy of the name of a hero."

Lu Xiaofeng thought to himself, if Sikong Zhaixing hadn't stolen him here, he would never have come to participate in this kind of boring activity. As expected, he often roamed the rivers and lakes on weekdays and made too many friends. First-class people are much easier to talk to than Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng.

This was originally a good habit, but today, it seems to have become a shortcoming.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "What is the purpose of this conference?"

Lin Sanlang said: "Of course it is for the imperial court to intervene in the world."

Lu Xiaofeng pretended not to understand, and said, "But you killed Butcher Zhao for the dog's head?"

Lin Sanlang said: "Not only Butcher Zhao was killed, but also the ghost mother-in-law and others."

He looked very serious.

Lin Sanlang said again: "In a short period of time, seven people have died."

Lu Xiaofeng thought to himself, this number is actually more than what Sikong Zaixing told him, it seems that someone might die again in the past few days.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "But these people deserve what they deserve."

He said: "Killing for life is justified. These people are the most vicious people in the Jianghu. Even if they are killed, they should not complain."

Lin Sanlang said: "What Lu Daxia said is indeed somewhat reasonable. Even if these villains don't die now, they will be punished by heroes one day."

Lu Xiaofeng sighed in his heart, one day, which day?

How many people will die during their crusade?

What's more, not everyone is like Ximen Chuuxue, who kills four powerful villains who have nothing to do with him every year.

Most of the villains in the Jianghu live a good life, but their goodness is based on the badness of others.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Since it's right to kill them, why hold this meeting?"

Lin Sanlang finally showed a hint of disapproval on Lu Xiaofeng's expression.

He said: "Although these people deserve to die, it's not the government's turn to arrest them."

Lin Sanlang said: "The imperial court tried to coerce Jianghu in vain, what a shame it is."

When he said this, there was a faint arrogance on his face, which overflowed from the bottom of his bones, as if he was born nobler than many people.

Why did he have such delusions?

Because he knows martial arts.

Seeing Lin Sanlang's expression, Lu Xiaofeng's heart felt a little cold.

Because he really thinks that what he said is correct.

After being in the arena for a long time, you will naturally see all kinds of people who are self-righteous, or who don't treat people as human beings. Lu Xiaofeng has seen them all.

These people knew from meeting each other that Lu Xiaofeng would never speak more than ten words to them. Although he liked to make friends, he was very demanding on the quality of his friends.

But Lin Sanlang is not one of these people, he had a few words with this person, except that he felt a little arrogant, there was no other serious problem.

But seeing the seriousness on his face at this moment, he felt that his senses were being shaken.

Some people just don't show their rot, but it's rotten from the root.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Do you think so many human lives are not as important as the difference between the imperial court and the Jianghu?"

His expression suddenly became serious. It would be very scary for a person who always smiles to suddenly put on a straight face.

Lin Sanlang said: "You..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Lu Xiaofeng say: "If you want to come to discuss this matter, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you."

Although he has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, he still has the heart of a child.

Lu Xiaofeng is different from Huamanlou, he can regard loving life as a part of life, but he also loves life and loves life.

That's why Lu Xiaofeng was able to mingle with street vendors, and even bought ten or eight skewers of candied haws from the grandmother who sold them.

The life of the Jianghu people is their life, and the life of ordinary people is also their life.

How could someone leave so many lives behind for some inexplicable sense of loyalty?

Although he himself is from the rivers and lakes, he implicitly supports the court's approach.

In addition to morality, there should be laws that override morality to restrain the people of the rivers and lakes.

Because you never know who is good and who is bad.

After Lu Xiaofeng finished speaking, he wanted to leave, but suddenly he heard an extremely strange voice behind him.

It was like a will-o'-the-wisp floating in the air, and there was no sound in the originally noisy restaurant, only the sound was extremely ear-piercing.

Lin Sanlang said: "Do you think you can come and leave whenever you want to this conference?"

The door of the restaurant is closed.
