Chapter 120 The Knight

The city lord said: "Our city should be the gateway to the Wei Dynasty. Anyone who enters the Wei Dynasty from the east will often go to our city to rest their horses... Therefore, our city has many incoming travelers and few farmers... I only have ministers and other relatives working hard to cultivate the fields... and thieves come from this."

many."

Zhongyue said: "As the saying goes, thieves also have their own ways. What is the way for thieves to be in your city?"

The city lord said: "I hate this way so much that I don't dare to do anything with it."

Zhong Yue said: "Although I am not personally involved, I have heard about it."

The city lord said: "We have different ways and we don't want to conspire with each other. I know very little about this."

Xia Hou said: "The city lord only knows what he knows."

The city lord thought for a while and said: "I heard that the refugees in the wilds have no place to stay. Some, some ten, some tens of them, gather in the mountains, forests, lakes and swamps, but they make a living by looting; they may also be thieves when they are doing business.

Also, there may be losses and no return, or the small ones are chasing the big ones. When trading, they are merchants, and when they plunder, they are thieves. There is no fixed structure. There are also those who follow thieves in the city, some who are friends with thieves, and there are also hidden lines of thieves.

There are many others."

Zhong Yue said: "What do you think this thief did?"

The city lord said: "I really don't know."

Xia Hou said: "Sir, this is not the person you are asking about." Then he turned to Tang Yin and said, "Mr. Tang must know who he is."

Tang Yin said: "To the west of Daliang, there is one big stock company and three or five small stock companies. They are all managed by powerful people, and they are not related to business travel. When business travelers come here, they must pay homage before entering the customs. Otherwise, not only will the transaction be unsuccessful, but more importantly, both people and money will be lost.

Empty. But if you go to worship, you will definitely find peace."

The city lord suddenly bowed to the ground and said: "What my youngest son has done, I will never be redeemed by my death!"

Zhongyue looked at the city lord in surprise, and then at Mr. Xiahou and Tang Yin. Seeing that the latter two had the same expressions as they should have, he suddenly felt enlightened and leaned forward to return the salute: "The father is a taboo for the son, and the city lord

What's the point? I hope the city lord will tell you the details so that I can know more about it."

The city lord said: "I belong to the Guan family, and after losing the country, my family lived here. However, this place was intertwined in all directions, and there were frequent wars, so they gradually dispersed. There are no more than ten families living here now, and they all work on the fields to maintain their livelihood. Liang, the capital of the great Wei Dynasty,

In the past three generations, the wars have subsided and the number of business travelers has increased. The small towns carried water to the east road, which was quite profitable. The merchants also gradually gathered and set up houses.

In the meantime, I set up a small town. Since my clan has lived here for a long time, I made my father the lord of the city. He farmed, practiced warfare, and prepared for public security. Farming cost a lot but the profit was small. The merchants paid high prices but made a lot of profit. In the past twenty or thirty years, the clan's healthy children

Gradually abandoning farming and doing business, there are only a dozen people working on the land. However, thieves are plundering outside, and chivalrous men are stronger than inside. The situation of the minister is actually embarrassing."

Xia Hou said: "Don't be overly humble, Lord of the city. The high gates and courtyards in the city are the palace of the emperor; the soldiers, armor and weapons are the only ones you own; under the purlins, there is abundant money and food, and you are the leader."

The city lord said: "This does not belong to me. The people who built the city are keeping it temporarily. How can it be that it belongs to me alone?"

Zhong Yue said: "This is just to see that the lord of the city has the hope of the people...Young master Jun went to the camp to assassinate, and now he stabs the other princes, why?"

The city lord said: "My three sons are young and unruly. They associate with powerful men, chivalrous men, and merchants. They are good at swords and hate farming. All of them are brave men in the world, and they flaunt their loyalty. They were lured by others, and they went to the camp.

An assassination attempt was made on a general, but luckily he saw it through and did not add to the crime, but was killed. Those who followed him will definitely be unjust and enemies of each other, and they will punish the princes."

Zhong Yue said: "From what you can see, is this what the younger generation's friends did?"

The city lord said: "The only one who can kill the Nine Young Masters with one blow is this one!"

Zhong Yue said: "Young master is good at swordsmanship. I already know that he is good at swordsmanship. Do you also dance with halberd?"

The city lord said: "As you said, I have all five soldiers in my house. Even though my son is unworthy, who can't be used to it? I can't restrain him either."

Zhongyue turned to Tang Yin and said, "What do you think, Mr. Tang?"

Tang Yin said: "Guan Ji is not an unknown person, and he is also a tyrant in the small town. If he were not this son, all the heroes around the city would rather have nothing to do! From the three tours of the pig. The three pigs are powerful and powerful in Liangxi."

Zhongyue asked the city lord: "Do three pigs live in the city?"

The city lord said: "I have never heard of that."

Tang Yin said: "The pigs live in Guanzhong for three years. If they occasionally come to Xiaoguancheng, they must go to Guanji. They hide themselves, so others don't know how powerful they are."

Zhong Yue said: "Can you get it and see it?"

Tang Yin said: "I don't know where he lives."

Zhongyue said: "Although I don't know where he lives, I must know where he is traveling and follow him!"

Tang Yin said: "A certain young man went on three trips with a pig. Every time he visited, he would be recommended by my brother."

Zhong Yue said: "Who is your brother?"

Xia Hou said: "It's Uncle Tang."

Tang Yin said: "His name is Qie."

Zhong Yue said: "According to what you see, sir, the young masters were killed by three generations of pigs. Why are you here?"

Tang Yin said: "It's not necessary, but I am worried. What I did... was to avenge Guan Ji. The clothes of all the gentlemen are intact, and they have not lost anything else. They only took the sword, which can be seen."

Zhong Yue said: "Sir, did you know that he had taken away the sword?"

Tang Yin said: "Nine young masters, would you rather not have one or two swords? Now none of the nine have swords, so they know that they are taken by others. Swordsmen are thrifty and scrupulous, and their righteousness is better than that of chivalrous men. If you don't take other things, but you get the sword,

He is a chivalrous man, not a thief or a thief."

Zhong Yue asked again: "Revenge? What does it mean? It's not appropriate to seek benevolence and get benevolence only when someone kills someone. How can there be any talk of revenge?"

Tang Yin said: "To be a chivalrous and righteous person, one relies on trustworthiness. If the stabbing is not hit, and the body is killed instead, it is a breach of trust; if the body dies without recovery, it is a breach of justice. It must be restored."

Zhong Yue said: "This is really beyond reason."

Tang Yin said: "No. It's just that the way is different."

Zhong Yue said: "I want you to be honest when you take office, is that okay?"

Tang Yin said: "But how do you think of the virtue of a king?"

After hearing this, Zhong Yue sighed for a while and then said: "The site has been surveyed, how should the body be buried?"

Mr. Xiahou said: "We are heading to Putian. We can go there by car. From Putian to Daliang we can go further."

Zhong Yue said: "What you said is true. Please bring us the carriage."

Mr. Xiahou said: "Let's take care of the city lord!" He bowed to the city lord. The city lord went down, and soon he led three oxcarts and nine people came over. They all worked together to carry the body to the car and put the body on the car.

Tang Yin had to touch the lower back of the corpse before

, sometimes they would say: "This young master is wearing a sword, and it was picked up by others. But the sword is still there." He would even pull the sword to the front for everyone to watch. When everyone looked at it, most of them were wooden, and some had been damaged.

They were violently broken. Only one or two bronze necklaces had their ribbons cut off.

Zhongyue said to Tang Yin: "Mr. Wei, we almost missed him."

Tang Yin said: "Sir, he rarely travels around the world, so he doesn't know his ears. How can it be strange?"

Zhong Yue seemed to suddenly think of something and stopped talking, saying: "Sir, after working hard in the world, I still want to visit and ask for advice."

Tang Yin smiled and said: "How dare you, my minister in the grass field, to bother you sir? You should go and pay your respects yourself." The two of them bowed to each other and said goodbye.

After the corpses were loaded, under the command of Mr. Xiahou, a group of hundreds of carriages formed two columns and headed for the Great Wall. The civilian army and soldiers were all sitting in the cars, as if they were on an outing. Zhongyue said to Xiahou: "We have left.

Thief, why are you so careless?"

Xia Hou said: "This is the normal way of transportation. Even if the order cannot be done, what can I do?"
