Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 26 Suspicion
However, just looking at these smoky night market life situations has provided Jiang Tian with a lot of material inspiration invisibly.

Therefore, he quickly wrote the main line and outline of key characters of the major revision based on the classic memory of the later "Nine Pins of Sesame Officials".Then, I wrote a large paragraph in a good situation, which condensed the contradictions and conflicts and the initial foreshadowing, similar to the beginning of the golden chapter three.

But in the midst of his thoughts like a tide, he suddenly heard Fan Shizi's unique loud voice from downstairs, shaking the floor and shouting:

"...something... get lost."

Then, there was really something in a ball, which suddenly flew out from the casement under the small terrace; fell heavily in the darkness of the side street and alley, and let out a scream that was not human; and Startled in the darkness, there was the sound of footsteps going away.

The next moment, without Jiang Tian actively asking, I saw Fan Shizi's apologetic voice coming from down the stairs:

"It's just disturbing Jiang Sheng. There was a little thief who broke into the door just now, and he has been dismissed."

"That's good, it's really hard for you to be on duty for me."

Jiang Tian calmly said:

"Jiang Sheng's words are off the mark. This is my old Fan's duty."

Fan Shizi also said in no mood:
After a few words were finished, the small building regained its calm; Jiang Tian couldn't help smiling slightly.Just now, with a glimpse, the suspected human body flew out, but its hands and feet were all twisted and balled up; it flew over the outer wall more than ten steps away.

This level can be achieved in just a short moment of face-to-face; it seems that Fan Shizi is not easy, at least he cannot escape with his natural supernatural power and agility.There is an old saying: Sure enough, everyone in the prison is talented, and they speak nicely.

Regardless of whether he has any other tasks, or because he doesn't intend to hide it at the moment; and the existence of such a No. [-] person is still of great importance to the cleanliness and calm that Jiang Tian needs to sort out his thoughts and exercise his ability now benefit.

Then there was nothing to say all night, and there was no unusual movement.Even the drunks who were running around drunk and fighting in the street seemed to be consciously or unintentionally avoiding the side of this small standing building.

When the sky turned pale and Jiang Tian, ​​who had slept soundly until the sun was three poles above the sun, was awakened again by the bustling market, which was suddenly disturbed by the noise and movement.

When Jiang Tian got up, put on his clothes and wiped his face, and walked to the edge of the terrace to take a look, he found that the side alley that was used to embarrass people last night was already empty, leaving only a few black stains that looked like blood.

Then, the door panels along the street were knocked hard one after another, and turned into yelling and cursing; they approached the small building with earthen walls on both sides.

"Open the door!"

"Open the door, open the door!"

"Open the door!"

"Fang supervisor routinely search and pick up!"

Following an official, the next moment he hammered the door hard, he was in vain, and almost fell into the opened door; he couldn't help but leaned on the wall and was about to curse.

However, he saw Fan Shizi, who was yawning only in his outer robe, not concealing his muscular body, his beard and hair, and described him as mighty and mighty.But he swallowed involuntarily, the words came to his lips, and he didn't know how to continue.

Until another younger official squeezed over and scolded unceremoniously:

"Wu Nahan, hurry up and get out of the way, maybe there is some kind of shady secret activity!"

However, at the next moment, Fan Shizi just glanced at him, but the official froze suddenly, his flag died down, and he said calmly:
"You want to speak up indiscriminately? This is not possible."

"Whether it is accusation or not, you will know after searching."

The veteran official before came back to his senses and forced himself to cheer up and said:

"Last night, after someone committed a major crime, he fled and hid in the city square; I was ordered to search and arrest them one by one; this is the order of the governor of the city. Is it possible that you want to resist?"

"I see!"

Only then did Fan Shizi step aside needlessly and said:

"Just please keep your hands and feet quiet, so as not to disturb the cleanliness of my master."

Hearing this, the young Zao Shi couldn't wait to step in, but as if he wanted to demonstrate, he took advantage of the opportunity to push Fan Shizi aside, but he couldn't move and was bounced away; His face was ugly.

However, the seasoned official who followed closely softened his tone; while looking around and flipping through the few objects in the empty room, he tried to start a conversation with Fan Shizi:

"Dare to ask what is the origin of this strong man, he looks like a member of the army!"

"Guess what?"

Fan Shizi said lightly:

"This...is a bit embarrassing."

Asked a boring veteran official, but he was not too annoyed and alluded to it:

"The origins of my master and I can naturally be inquired by the Tufang Yamen Office;"

Fan Shizi remained unmoved and said:

"But if they don't want you to know, I advise you not to ask for trouble."

"thanks for reminding."

Hearing these words, the senior official's expression couldn't help changing slightly, but he couldn't help but become more and more relaxed in his movements of searching and checking with his hands.

And when they searched all the way to the third floor, they saw a private room full of books and manuscripts, but there was no place to hide; The exit came.

It wasn't until after walking a certain distance that the young official suddenly couldn't help shaking his hands and asked:

"Old Ding, why do you want to stop me, it's only possible..."

"Xiao Gu, haven't you seen that man's speech and behavior? I'm afraid he is not a good fighter, but he is also very familiar with public methods."

The official named Lao Ding shook his head and said:
"Not to mention, his master has piled half a room full of books; none of them come from trivial sources."

"What's the matter, can't we catch the handle..."

Xiao Gu couldn't help poking his neck and said:
"The point is, I'm afraid the other party is not a scholar, but a scholar who is guarded by someone? You still want to catch him?"

Lao Ding hated iron but stared at him.
"You have to know that those scholars sent here are the ones with the most minds and the most troublesome things. In terms of this generation, they are really bad-hearted, but they are dirtier than the filth of the city and the river."

"What's more, if you can't even find out the background of others, how dare you act rashly; just because you were fooled for a while? Why don't you go to the sky to catch the stars and catch the moon!"

Having said that, he became a little bitter and said:
"Because you were entrusted to me by your family, I told you these things. Our public uniform is only a bit majestic in front of those criminals. But in front of those righteous uncles In front of you, what is the calculation?"

"However, these scholars may not have the opportunity to get acquainted with and make friends with the senior officials who are the masters. If they can really get the credentials, it's fine, but there is no benefit in playing their temper during routine business, and for no reason. I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity in the future Does it count with you?"

With the continuous searches in the East District; the biggest change is that in the market, Wuhou, patrolmen, and servants patrolling to and fro have also become more frequent.From time to time, some people who looked flustered or suspicious were stopped and questioned back and forth.

And in this kind of jitteriness that most people have long been accustomed to, it is only in the form and on the surface.Xiao Ao also sent the transcripts and other things collected that day as promised.It's just that he seemed to come a little later than the previous few days this time, and he also staggered a little when he walked.

However, after Jiang Tian asked a few words, he faltered and faltered; it seemed that there was something hidden.Since he refused to say anything, Jiang Tian was not easy to follow up with shallow words and deep questions; and when paying for the expenses of running errands outside, he gave a few extra money to see the neighborhood doctor.

However, when Xiao Ao was holding these few green coins, he didn't know what it was like, but he was a little absent-minded.In other words, it was a result of his faint chills and some disbelief.

Because, yesterday, he went to find Xiao Que'er in private at the Donkey's Head Restaurant; after seeking temporary comfort in her arms full of other men's smells; some inside information.

For example, the benefactor who kept saying that he was supporting him; the backer who secretly instigated and manipulated him in the Tufang for a long time, inquired and collected a lot of information.It was also the culprit who secretly wanted to get rid of the life in Tufang several times in his early years, but was always let down and betrayed by others.

Because this backer and benefactor is really indispensable, he is flexible in mind, able to give money and filial piety, and can inquire about the source of news at any time; and he wants to use this to firmly control it in his hands.Therefore, when the guests he had served in the past wanted to take him away temporarily, they were all secretly resorted to, or simply broke things.

At the moment when he heard this inside story, Xiao Ao felt that it was unbelievable for a moment; then he wondered if the woman had ulterior motives to provoke her.Because, although the other side had ordered him to do a lot of things and gained a lot of benefits by doing so, he had also saved him many times from those rascals.

As a character who was abandoned not long after he was born in the apprentice workshop, and barely grew up in the filthy market, he has suffered too much and seen too many hardships in the world.Not to mention the unscrupulous desperation under the hardships of life.

Therefore, after a long time, Xiao Ao, who has been lonely and helpless due to lack of family members, vaguely regards him as a substitute like his father and brother.Therefore, even if he has been promised many times by the short sellers, he is already a little numb; but he is still not willing to think about or believe in this possibility.

However, when Xiao Ao rushed out from Xiao Que'er full of resentment; all kinds of doubts and suspicions, or the names that followed the woman's name, had been slowly engraved in his heart, like Like a poison slowly eroding his few rationality and trust.

Thinking about it now, it is obvious that those ruthless people can find him in time every time, and it is not because they are aimless.Moreover, the strikes were quite measured, and his face was deliberately spared; but the bruises were left under the neck, which was painful enough without hindering the ability to move.

And being beaten a lot, he also knows how to curl up his body to avoid the vital points, and at the same time satisfy those people's wishes with just right begging and screaming; despite this, Xiao Ao still wants to try hard to verify one thing.
