Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 70 Misfortune Comes Out of Your Mouth
Autumn is crisp and crisp, which is the time when river crabs are fat.

After entering Xuzhou City, Shuangxie and Lei Buji first went to the inn to put down their luggage, and then decided to go out to eat crabs.

This is the second time for Sun and Huang to come to Xuzhou. The last time they came, they watched an arena contest between "Kaifeng Three-armed Sword" and "Scorpion Tail Spear" here, and even opened a handicap next to them. , As a result, because a masked person came to disrupt the situation, the situation ended in a mess, and the two of them worked for a long time in vain.

Now after participating in the Young Heroes Club, they will revisit their hometown. Recalling that martial arts competition, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai couldn't help but feel that Zheng Mukai and Ge Shi were too good.

What kind of three-armed sword and scorpion tail gun?Liu Yikong may not be as good as Liu Yikong. Among the top four of this hero meeting, except for Brother Sun... a little bit, isn't it... the other three, which one didn't beat Zheng Ge?
So, when they sat down to eat, the first thing they did was to brag to Lei Buji about the force of that martial arts competition.

Huang Donglai is very good at talking. If Sun Yixie is next to him to make jokes and talk nonsense, then the two of them are equivalent to talking about cross talk, and when Brother Huang talks alone, it is similar to stand-up.

Lei Buji listened to Huang Donglai's vivid description, and felt that he was enjoying it, and would interject to ask a question from time to time, which made Huang Donglai talk more and more enthusiastically.

Once this person drank a little wine, his voice would become a little louder, and when he got interested, he would add a little more.

When he came back to his senses, Huang Donglai was already sitting on a railing, with one foot on a stool, a wine glass in one hand, and chopsticks in the other, talking and gesticulating.

And his performance unknowingly attracted a group of onlookers...

The restaurant they went to was neither good nor bad, it was the kind of restaurant with a relatively high attendance rate, but it was not so cheap that anyone could sit down and eat; this restaurant was undoubtedly chosen by Sun Yixie, a fish market like him After mixing it up, he knows exactly what kind of restaurant can eat the most cost-effective river crab.

People who came to watch Huang Donglai's "storytelling" around, some were still sitting in their original positions, just turned their heads to watch, and some were already eating enough, so they simply moved their own stools and sat down closer to listen. The good-for-nothing guy who had watched the ring competition was still sitting on the sidelines talking to Huang Donglai, singing along with each other, not to mention how lively it was.

It was obviously a competition that could be finished in a few words, but Huang Donglai rambled a lot about it, and the content was quite interesting. There were a lot of things that people in the Jianghu knew, and ordinary people didn't know much. Listen I feel very novel.

However... as the saying goes, misfortune comes from the mouth.

Some people like to hear Huang Donglai's words, while others don't.

Who doesn't like to hear it?
party……

When Sun Huang and Lei Buji walked up to the restaurant, they didn't notice that the "Kaifeng Three-armed Sword" Zheng Mukai was sitting in a corner on the second floor with two younger boys. Drink and eat together.

Coincidence?

Coincidence, but also normal.

Zheng Mukai is the chief escort of Guangxing Escort Bureau in Kaifeng Prefecture. Kaifeng is not far from Xuzhou. When he travels to escort, anyone who goes south must pass through Xuzhou. Right now, he just finished his trip Dart, on the way back with two trippers from the escort agency.

When Huang Donglai started talking to Lei Buji about the martial arts competition in the ring, Zheng Mukai heard it immediately, and his two followers soon heard it too... Even if they are not martial arts practitioners, they heard someone nearby Words such as "Guangxing Escort" and "Zheng Mukai" in it will also attract attention, not to mention that they are all martial arts practitioners, and their hearing is more sensitive than ordinary people.

Originally, Zheng Mukai didn't want to recall this incident very much. After all, this incident was not very glorious to him, regardless of the cause and effect or the process of being stopped in the middle. Now, in front of the two juniors, Huang Donglai's words He is almost worthless, can he not be impatient?

Objectively speaking, Zheng Mukai is considered a second-rate expert at any rate. He is a well-known figure in the Jianghu. It is inappropriate for you, a junior of seventeen or eighteen years old, to publicly criticize your seniors; you say he can't beat that masked man That's all, because that's the fact that everyone has seen, but you keep talking... you actually said that he can't even beat the young children who just came out of the Young Heroes Club, he can't stand it.

Snapped--

Just when Huang Donglai was about to rise up, a violent slap on the table suddenly sounded from the corner on the second floor of the restaurant.

When everyone heard the sound and turned their heads to look, the leg of the table was broken, and the food and wine on the table were spilled. The three men stood up from the chairs slowly, and walked towards this side aggressively.

This one... the common people in this universe are very familiar. The surrounding folks who "listened to the book" saw it, and immediately dispersed, and retreated a few feet away; the waiter in the store also hurried down to inform the shopkeeper. , let the shopkeeper come to trouble.

At the same time, the three people from the Guangxing Escort had reached the side of the table of Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Lei Buji.

Zheng Mukai stood at the front, his face was full of anger, and he shouted: "Where did you come from with a yellow mouth! How dare you speak nonsense here?"

At this moment, Huang Donglai was mostly sober from the wine. Although Sun Yixie and Lei Buji hadn't stood up yet, they all looked at Zheng Mukai and were on guard.

"Oh~" Huang Donglai quickly recognized Zheng Mukai, "It turned out to be Zheng Da, the head of the Guangxing Escort, sorry for the disrespect..."

How thick-skinned he is, one minute ago he was still talking bad about people, and one minute later he said "disrespect" with a smile all over his face.

"Hmph." Zheng Mukai didn't answer his words, and snorted coldly, implying that he didn't want to be polite to you.

The trooper on his left would also agree, and said: "Our escort asked who you are? Don't be joking, hurry up and report your name!"

Huang Donglai is not afraid of them, so he just smiled coldly: "It's easy to say, Huang Donglai is in the Huangmen of Xiashu."

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Mukai and the three of them were obviously taken aback.

Huang Donglai?Isn't that the young master of the Huang family who broke the conspiracy of the Tianqi Gang with Sun Yixie at the Young Heroes Meeting not long ago and saved hundreds of righteous martial arts?

The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, a month ago, Huang Dong came from the newspaper, and people were at most afraid of the yellow door behind him, but now... others have to think highly of him.

"Oh...it's Huang Shaoxia." Zheng Mukai's attitude changed a little too quickly, and his tone softened a lot, but his anger still persisted. Besides, he couldn't hold back his face even if he admitted cowardice at this time, so he continued, " Zheng and Huang Shaoxia had no grievances in the past, but now they have no enmity, why would Huang Shaoxia publicly criticize and slander Zheng here today? Is it possible... is it because I have trouble with the Guangxing Escort?"

His set of words can be regarded as a standard routine.

"No grievances in the past, no grievances in the present" means: now it is your first choice, your responsibility; "slandering and slander" is his own self-definition, the implication is: he believes that what Huang Donglai just said is not true As a matter of fact, if Huang Donglai disagrees with this point, he would be provoking trouble; and the last sentence "I can't get along with the Guangxing Escort" is more obvious, it is a threat, binding your personal reputation to the sect, which means you have offended I offended our entire Escort.

Can Huang Donglai fail to appreciate these?

It's just that he doesn't want to tell the truth... Although he can also jump up and emphasize that what he said is the truth, at most it is a bit of artistic exaggeration, but people need shame and skin, and it is indeed not good for you to say that in front of Zheng Mukai , You have to give others a step down.

"Uh...hahahahaha..." When Huang Donglai said "Uh", he glanced at Sun Yixie, the two eyes met, and the communication was completed, and then Huang Donglai burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha..." Sun Yixie also laughed.

Lei Buji was already very familiar with this process, he saw the two elder brothers laughing wildly, and he understood what was going to happen next... So he also followed suit and laughed.

"Brother Zheng! Brother! I was wrong!" After laughing a few times, Huang Donglai suddenly put on a drunken look, and picked up a flagon on the table in a flash, "Brother made a slip of the tongue after drinking, Nonsense! Big brother, you have a lot of adults, let me spare you once, and no one else... I will punish myself with a pot first!"

After finishing speaking, before Zheng Mu could reply, he poured down a jug of wine in a "ton, ton, ton" manner, and after drinking...he lay down on the spot with his back on his back, his limbs spread wide.

Zheng Mukai and the two passers-by next to him were also taken aback when they saw this, thinking that there is still this kind of "explosion" as soon as they say a few words?

However, Huang Donglai's move has already given Zheng Mu a step forward, as long as he says "forget it" now, it will be fine.

"Hmm..." Zheng Mukai thought about it, and there is really no need to get angry with this shameless person. Besides, the other party apologized and fined him for drinking, and most of his anger has disappeared. If he stares at a junior again If he refused to let go, he would appear to be a small-minded person, so he planned to open his mouth to reconcile.

unexpectedly……

"I'll punish him with a pot too!" Lei Buji probably felt that...it's time to apply the skills of pretending to be a grandson taught by his two older brothers to actual combat, so when he saw Brother Huang blew himself up, he followed suit. Pick up a jug, "Ton Ton"...

Pour another one.

"Stop it! Brother Zheng, I'll punish Brother Huang with a pot and a bowl of crab soup!" Sun Yixie watched as both of them collapsed. Simply... Even eating and drinking, I showed Zheng Mukai and the others the stunt of eating a bowl of crab soup and drinking a pot of wine within ten seconds, and then they also lay down there.

Zheng Mukai stood there, stupefied, and thought to himself: "What's the matter with these three grandsons? What kind of routine is this? How come I haven't seen it for so many years?"

He was still thinking about his life there, when the shopkeeper of the restaurant came over with his head poking his head: "Uh... my lord, have you solved... the misunderstanding?"

How shrewd is this shopkeeper, he was watching from the side just now, seeing the scene, he probably won't be able to fight, so he stepped forward.

"Ah..." Zheng Mukai nodded awkwardly, "No...it's okay."

Hearing the words, the shopkeeper glanced at Zheng Mukai's broken table and the food and drink on the place: "Then look... Shall we change seats for you and put the food and wine on the table again?"

"No need." How could Zheng Mukai continue to stay here to eat and drink, he said, and then reached out to take out the money in his pocket, "Check out, I will pay for the broken things."

"Hey! Alright, master is so generous!" The shopkeeper smiled happily when he saw Yinzi, and quickly praised him to prevent the other party from changing his mind.

After paying the money, Zheng Mukai and his two attendants left with pained faces. They didn't even eat enough and didn't drink enough, so they had to find another place to go, and it was better to stay away from here.

And before they walked out of the corner of this street, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai, who had just been lying on the table and lying on the ground like two dead dogs... all got up.

It was not so easy to get drunk with the wine of that year.

The two of them just used this method to send Zheng Mukai away. Anyway, they had thick skins, so they still had the nerve to sit there and eat and drink after the performance.

"Hey, Buji, wake up, it's fine." Sun Yixie got up and sat down, then stretched out his hand and pushed Lei Buji.

Unexpectedly, he was greeted by snoring.

"Damn, are you really drunk?" Sun Yixie said, "After all, I'm a child, so I can't drink enough."

In fact, he took it for granted when he said this. In this universe, he is only a year or two older than Lei Buji physically; Lei Buji would really fall because he had fewer opportunities to drink since he was a child. Lack of experience and exercise, so drinking a pot in one breath this time is too shocking, unlike him and Huang Donglai, who have a wealthy family since childhood and have more opportunities to drink.

"Hey~ Don't care about him, let's eat." Huang Donglai also patted the dust on his clothes, and sat down again, "Xiaoer, serve some steamed ones, and two more bowls of ginger vinegar."

Seeing that these two were so shameless, the guest officials and Xiao Er around them also smiled bitterly, but seeing that the three of them were all young men of seventeen or eighteen years old, no one would say anything more.

The matter of the restaurant today was not a big deal at first, so it stands to reason that it has been exposed like this, and no one will mention it again.

Who would have thought... just this night, that is, less than three hours later, something happened.

At the end of Haishi, the person in charge of shifting at East Street found a corpse—the corpse of Zheng Mukai.

His body was lying in the back alley of an inn in the east of the city, with wounds almost all over his body, and his face was disfigured from the beating.

Here in the book it is implied that this inn is the one where Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Lei Buji stayed.

If you think that the ancient watchmen would panic and yell after discovering the dead body, then you are very wrong—those who have been in this business, as long as they can do it for a long time, they have seen more dead bodies than you have talked about. There is more love.

In a society based on the agricultural economy, no matter how peaceful the year is, there will be people who starve to death or die of disease on the roadside all year round. In winter, more people will die of cold and hunger; It is very common for Geng to see dead people lying lifeless in the streets and alleys while walking halfway.

When a veteran sees him, he usually goes up to check for a while to see how the person died and whether he seems to have an infectious disease, and then he calmly informs the dibao, who then decides whether or not to alarm the yamen.

Zheng Mukai's death is a homicide that everyone can see, so the Yamen Gate must be dispatched, and all the arresters must come. Even the more perfunctory and incompetent head arresters must at least come and go Transitions.

The head catcher in Xuzhou City is called Dong Wan, and he is a very typical big head catcher.

He knows a little bit of martial arts, but he can only fight local hooligans and restrain his subordinates, but he can't beat Jianghu masters and green forest roadsters;

Please note that the "ordinary people" I mentioned here are based on the standards of modern people. Because of the backwardness of education and natural science knowledge, most people in that era are considered stupid by today's people.Although there is almost no difference between them and us physiologically, the era we live in has allowed us to stand on the shoulders of giants since we were born, so it is also true that people are generally more "smart" today.

Dong Wan ran to the scene of the crime to check it out, and saw Zheng Mukai's identity from the "Guangxing Escort Bureau" badge on his body. After asking someone, he knew that Zheng Mukai was staying at another house in the west of the city before his death. in the inn.

So he rushed to the inn with his people, only to find that the two travelers who were traveling with him were also dead, and died in the guest room, and they were also covered in wounds, as if they had been beaten alive dead.

Three lives were lost overnight, and all of them died unexpectedly. It is impossible for the government to ignore it.

Since none of the belongings of the three deceased were taken away, this matter looks more like a vendetta rather than murder for money; in this case, follow the customary rules between the jianghu and the government, Then you should notify the sufferers of the Guangxing Escort as soon as possible, and let them investigate by themselves. The government, apart from preserving the corpses for them and providing some information on the scene, don’t care about anything else—you can go there yourself if you want revenge. .

Flying pigeons pass letters very quickly, and the death of this big escort is also a big deal.

Therefore, Zhu Jiaduan, the head of the Guangxing Escort Bureau and also Zheng Mukai's master, "Excalibur" Zhu Jiaduan personally led a group of bodyguard heads and bodyguards, a total of more than [-] people, to Xuzhou overnight.

This leads to that——Lei Buji was wronged and imprisoned, and Sun Yi laughed to explore Qiliu Youlan.
