The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 381 0382, The carriage that fell off the cliff

Although An County is not developing fast, there are quite a few rich people in An County.In the past few days since Long Fei took office, the name he has heard the most is Li Gu.This person is an out-and-out local, and there are many legends circulating among the people.

Having solved Liu Ming's murder case, Long Fei has been on the streets every day for the past few days.One is to find out the people's sentiments, and the other is to learn more about the economic situation of An County.

Although he is a county lieutenant, he is also very concerned about the economic development of An County.If the economy of An County has always been like this, how can the people of An County live and work in peace and contentment?If the economic development of a place is not good, the people in this place will not have the confidence to live a good life.

On the busy street, Long Fei and Zhao Yun continued to stroll.Long Fei didn't feel bored when he had something to do before, but there were no cases in the past few days, which made Long Fei a little at a loss.It is said that the public security in An County is very bad, but in Long Fei's eyes, it is not bad.Such a lively market does not look like what a backward county should have.

A guy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks shuttled through the crowd, he only stared at those ladies who were in good shape and accompanied by maids.Pretending to be nonchalant, he walked over and bumped into them, then stuffed the purse he got into his cuff.

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl caught his eyes. This girl was so white and cute that he couldn't bear to look away at the first sight.Especially the lithe pace of this girl's walking really made him think about it for a while.

After wandering around the girl for a long time, he was finally about to make a move and rammed straight at the girl.But was blocked by someone abruptly, Liu Jie seemed to hit a wall.His arms were numb from the impact, he stared at the guy who ruined his good deeds, and took out the dagger hidden in his sleeve.

Liu Jie said: "If you are sensible, get out of here, or don't blame me for being cruel."

Zhao Yun, who was blocking Liu Jie, squinted at him but said nothing until Long Fei knocked the dagger out of Liu Jie's hand.The girl just came back to her senses, staring at Long Fei and the others with her big eyes flashing.

Li Xin doesn't go out shopping every day. On weekdays, she has to study piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at home.There is no time to go shopping at all, let alone as long as you want to go shopping unscrupulously like today.

Li Xin has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, and never made her father angry.Because her mother passed away early, her father raised Li Xin alone, and even never married again because of her.When Li Xin asked her father why she didn't find another mother for her, her father would always tell her that she didn't find a suitable one.

After growing up, in fact, Dad has already met a suitable one, but he is just afraid that she will be wronged because of her stepmother.So no matter how reluctant he was, he didn't marry another wife in the end.Apart from taking care of Li Xin alone, all the remaining energy is spent on business.

"Girl, can you see if your purse is still there?" Long Fei looked at the dazed girl and said.

Li Xin came back to his senses and took out the purse tied around his waist.Liu Jie was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he turned around and ran away while Zhao Yun was not paying attention.But he didn't want to run for his life, but directly took Li Xin hostage.And reminded Li Xin repeatedly that if she dared to act rashly, she would draw a few cuts on her face.

The voices of Liu Jie and Li Xin were so low that only the two of them could hear them clearly.However, Long Fei also vaguely heard something, as if the thief Liu Jie was fooling Li Xin.It is said that he has an 80-year-old mother on the top and a toddler on the bottom.The old mother has no money and can only wait to die, and the daughter-in-law suffered from malnutrition during confinement.

Long Fei didn't hear some words, but it was not difficult to see from the expression of the kidnapped girl that she believed Liu Jie's words.When he looked at Long Fei again, his eyes were not right, as if it was not Liu Jie but Long Fei who wanted to steal her wallet just now.This gave Liu Jie a chance to escape, and by the way, he got the purse that Li Xin was willing to give him.

Li Xin righteously stopped Long Fei and Zhao Yun, and intentionally let go of the poor Liu Jie.She stared at Long Fei with puffed cheeks, as if she wanted to express her dissatisfaction in this way.

Facing this innocent girl who was like a blank sheet of paper, Long Fei really wasn't in the mood to be serious with her.Judging from the method just now, Liu Jie must be a veteran.Since you are a veteran, there will always be a chance to see you again.

But Long Fei didn't expect that he would be blocked by Li Xin with puffed cheeks.What did Long Fei meddle in his own business, which caused Liu Jie to hold her hostage in order to protect himself.

Li Xin said this as a matter of course, as if she knew the truth.He educated Long Fei in a dignified manner, and spoke in a tone like a superior reprimanding a subordinate.Regardless of Long Fei's willingness or not, Li Xin explained a lot of truths to Long Fei somewhere.And asked Long Fei to assure her that he would not hurt others for no reason in the future.

Long Fei didn't need to explain this matter, but Li Xin's words really made Long Fei dumbfounded.Especially these few days when he has nothing to do, Long Fei really compares himself to Li Xin.

He first identified himself, and then brought in several stall owners from the market.They are all masters who have been in this market for more than ten years, and that person has never seen Liu Jie steal anything.But it's not that Liu Jie has never missed a shot. Once he is caught, he will be severely punished.

But they were very happy for Liu Jie, but they felt sorry for the beautiful girl in front of them.Presumably, Liu Jie had been happy for a long time just now. Stealing chickens is not enough to lose money, but in the end he achieved his goal.Not only did he get the money, but someone was willing to believe that he was a good man.

Several vendors repeatedly emphasized that Liu Jie was a habitual offender on this street.He doesn't go to the streets every day, but every time he takes advantage of the market.It's not that these traders are being lenient, it is indeed Liu Jie's behavior that has affected their business.

Each of them has encountered such a situation, the customer has selected something, and is ready to pay after weighing.Only then did I realize that the purse on my body was gone, and I searched silently to no avail.Some people who are close to home will go back to get the money, while those who are far away from home can only leave in resentment.While walking, they cursed the guy who stole his purse. They were not the only ones who scolded the thief, and the vendors scolded him even more fiercely.

After hearing what some vendors said, the maid standing beside Li Xin whispered something to her.Although Li Xin was somewhat reluctant, he still nodded slightly.

She said: "I was wrong just now. I shouldn't trust that guy. Are you satisfied now?"

Long Fei said: "What's your attitude? Are you admitting your mistakes? Didn't your adults teach you how to apologize?"

Li Xin said angrily: "Long, I warn you. You can talk about me but not my family. Believe it or not, find someone to deal with you every minute?"

Long Fei shook his head with a smile, and said: "From your tone, it seems that you must be a well-known family in An County. Do you want me to guess? I can guess whose family you are without telling me. Believe it or not?"

Li Xin said: "I believe you are a big-headed ghost, this girl will not be fooled by you. Good dogs don't get in the way, make way for this girl."

Long Fei really gave way to Li Xin, but she was the one who blocked Long Fei just now, so why is he blocking the way now?This girl really has an eloquent mouth. If it weren't for the good mood these two days, I'm afraid Long Fei would really be serious with Li Xin.

"My lord, this girl looks good to me, she suits my taste. If my lord doesn't dislike her, I can inquire about this girl's background and find a companion for my lord by the way." Zhao Yun said.

The corner of Long Fei's mouth twitched and looked at Zhao Yun, and said with an angry smile: "I said, brother Yun, if you look good, you should chase after him. Why should you arrange for me if you look good?"

Zhao Yun said: "I think there should be a woman by my lord's side, so we don't have to worry about taking care of your daily life, right?"

Long Fei said unhappily: "Brother Yun, it seems that you don't take care of my daily life. I'm not a rich man, when did you let you take care of me?"

Zhao Yun coughed twice and said, "For example, I'm just making an example."

The moon is dark and the wind is high, in the hinterland of Mang Mountain.

A luxury carriage gallops on the mountain road, a place where such people are extremely rare, not to mention the middle of the night, even in broad daylight, few carriages pass here.

The coachman has been speeding up, but the master in the carriage is still urging.I hope the coachman can be faster, and it is best to run out of Mangshan Mountain in one breath.

People from ten miles and eight villages don't know that the hinterland of Mang Mountain is a dead end.As for all the carriages that pass by here, there will be accidents in seventy-eight out of ten, and even if there is an accident, no one can be found.It is not feasible to live to see people and die to see corpses here, and there are no natural laws at all here.

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't feel sorry for the horse, run as far as you can run!"

There was another urging sound from the carriage, and the coachman responded, but refused to whip the two horses again.He is a professional in driving a carriage, and he knows that the speed has reached the limit.Even if he whipped the whip a few more times, the effect would not be much better than it is now.

The mountain roads here are rugged, and the most important thing is safety.The carriage was running fast enough, and it was too late to brake in case of an emergency.Just now the groom mentioned it to the master twice, but the master didn't listen at all.Still urging him to hurry up and leave the hinterland of Mang Mountain as soon as possible.

If they returned home from the county town, if they hadn't passed through the hinterland of Mang Mountain, they would have to walk for an extra day.This time the master went out to do a big deal, and the agreement he just signed was carried with him.The groom has been with the master for so long, of course he knows what the master is afraid of.

This place is no different than other places. The agreement not only has the effect of binding both parties, but also allows the person who has obtained the agreement to have sufficient initiative.Of course, this premise is that the agreement is no longer in the hands of both parties.This agreement is made in triplicate, one copy is kept by each signing party, and the other copy is kept in the local government for record.

There was a violent bump, and the groom grabbed the reins to slow down the speed of the car.But at this moment, the carriage suddenly tilted like a side.Then there was a crisp sound, and the wheels, which could not bear the overload, finally went on strike.Rolling down the hill and off the cliff, the carriage becomes a leg.

The groom wanted to rein in the reins, but the movement just now scared the two horses.The frightened horse kept waving, dragging the carriage that had lost one wheel and rushed towards the cliff...

In the early morning of the next day, two peasants who went up the mountain to cut firewood discovered the mutilation of the carriage.He also found an unrecognizable corpse and reported it to the government immediately.

The government immediately sent people to the scene, and the matter finally reached Long Fei's ears.Long Fei did not rush to the scene, but handed over the matter to Zhao Yun.I hope he can apply the theory to practice, and give him this opportunity to practice well.It's not that Long Fei is kidding, but he really believes in Zhao Yun's strength.

After following him for so many days, Zhao Yun learned six or seven points of Long Fei's skills no matter what.To verify his learning ability, or to clarify the direction of his next training.
