Fu Shifeng

Chapter 101

Faced with Cheng Sanwu's exhausted appearance, Zhang Fan knew that this person's willful behavior was difficult to restrain, so he could only put on a reproachful tone, and said in a deep voice: "The matter can be handled more properly, so that it won't be so stiff. In the future, if If there are people in the Jianghu disturbing, I will come forward to deal with it."

"No problem!" Cheng Sanwu readily agreed, and then said: "But I think, as a person in the martial arts, how can there be any reason to sit idly by when we see injustice? Although our horizontal school is not as good as it used to be, we must not lose it." You have a chivalrous heart, right, Senior Brother Zhang?"

Zhang Fan endured his displeasure. He didn't expect that the identity he used to disguise himself would be used by Cheng Sanwu as an excuse to act as a chivalrous man. This person is really cunning!
"Horizontal school is just..." Xu 23 just opened his mouth and tried to refute, but Cheng Sanwu pointed his eyes in the direction of the inn, and the other party immediately shut up and stopped talking.

The four of them returned to the inn, but there was no sign of the innkeeper. They probably heard the movement of the outdoor fighting and hid elsewhere and did not dare to show up.At this moment, I saw the elopement couple knelt side by side, and the man said: "Thank you for your help!"

Zhang Fan looked back at Cheng Sanwu, and then said: "I met you by chance in Jianghu, so you don't need to thank me. But we have to leave early tomorrow morning, the two of you should take care of yourself."

After saying that, he wanted to go back to the room, but the man surnamed Wei was unwilling to give up this life-saving straw. He knelt on the ground and used his hands and feet to stop the four of them, kowtowing: "We, husband and wife, have no way out. Please help me again. ! I am willing to serve as a slave, to serve my life to the death!"

Zhang Fan felt impatient, even if he wasn't out on business, he wouldn't want to get involved with this kind of elopement lover who fled the rivers and lakes.

"Junior Brother Cheng, tell me, what should we do now?" Zhang Fan simply kicked the trouble back to Cheng Sanwu. He wanted to see how capable this character who could be favored by Shang Zhangjun of Gongchenwei was.

Cheng Sanwu looked at the pair of men and women, waved his hands and said, "Stop kneeling, but explain, what are your identities, and why were you hunted down?"

The man and woman had no choice but to support each other to get up, and the man replied: "I am Wei Ying, and my ancestral home is Tianshui. This lady of the Deng family is Zhuo Jing, with the small character Huijun."

The lady of the Deng family saluted lightly, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and still hugged Wei Ying's arms tightly: "Don't dare to hide your benefactors, the two elders of Wei and Deng were married by fingertips in the early years, and our husband and wife have also known each other since childhood." Just because my father suddenly repented and wanted to betroth me to another family, he eloped and fled as a last resort."

"Do you think I'm a child who can be fooled at will?" Cheng Sanwu sneered: "Let's assume that what you are telling is the truth, but the two families who can marry each other must be well-matched and have a deep friendship. One of them repents, but the other has nothing to do? The elders of the Wei family don’t care? Even if they escape back to the Wei family.”

Wei Ying showed a look of mourning: "The Wei family suffered a sudden plague ten years ago, and the whole family almost died. I have no home to return to."

"You are living a good life." Cheng Sanwu saw that the other party was not lying.

"I was less than ten years old at the time, and I happened to come to Deng's family school to study and learn martial arts. I was lucky enough to escape disaster." Wei Ying said this with great reluctance: "Deng's family in Yongxian County cultivates literature and martial arts, and our Wei family in Tianshui has rich wealth. Well, the combination of the two families was originally a beautiful thing. However, the Wei family suffered a sudden change, and the family fortune suddenly declined. As an orphan, I was gradually neglected under the Deng family, and was even regarded as a slave at one time."

"Oh, that's it..." Cheng Sanwu muttered, "Why do you feel that the Deng family in Yong County is going out of business?"

As soon as this statement came out, the two eloped were silent, and Cheng Sanwu looked at Deng Huijun: "You don't know everything about your family, do you?"

Deng Huijun's lips trembled, and he didn't dare to raise his head to face her. Wei Ying took the initiative to answer: "This matter has nothing to do with Huijun. I am in love with her, and we have already agreed to a lifetime and will never leave."

Looking at Wei Ying's sincere gaze, Cheng Sanwu was not polite, and pointed at Deng Huijun's stomach: "It's useless to say more, the lady of the Deng family has been made pregnant by you, her family will definitely not Forgive you. And let me say one more thing, even if the Deng family's wife is taken back, the child probably won't be saved."

Hearing this, Deng Huijun, who looked soft and weak, suddenly felt courageous and determined, and raised his head suddenly: "If so, I would rather hang myself on the beam and go to the underworld with Wei Lang!"

"No, don't!" Wei Ying hurriedly dissuaded: "If you really get to that point, you have to live well."

"If there is no Wei Lang, then I will not live!" Deng Huijun buried his head in the man's arms and cried loudly.

Seeing these situations, Cheng Sanwu was quite embarrassed. He looked at Zhang Fan and the others, but they all looked indifferent.The joys and sorrows of the eloped lovers did not move them

"Since you have a home and can't go home, where else can you go?" Cheng Sanwu asked.

Wei Ying replied: "I have an uncle from a distant family who works in Shuofang Jiedu Mansion and is going to Lingzhou to seek refuge."

Hearing the word Lingzhou, Cheng Sanwu looked at Zhang Fan silently, but the other party seemed reluctant, so he still didn't say a word.

"Just the two of you, what can you do in Lingzhou?" Cheng Sanwuyulu sneered: "Besides, you are now fugitives who have eloped and left home. It is completely legitimate for the government to arrest you. As long as the Deng family If you are willing to spend money to operate it, if you hand over a document to Lingzhou, you two outsiders will still be unable to escape."

The expression on Wei Ying's face immediately darkened, and Cheng Sanwu was still chattering there: "And the one who swung the stick just now, you can tell at a glance that he was from the army. , it is estimated that it is still useless.”

The young couple remained silent, but Xu 23 couldn't hold back his harsh words, and asked, "Listening to what you say, do you still know what to do?"

Zhang Fan glared at Xu 23, and secretly scolded her for talking too much.

"It's simple, just kill all the pursuers." Cheng Sanwu replied.

Hearing this answer, everyone present was stunned.Even Zhang Fan, who was used to seeing fighting scenes, felt that his brain was a bit overwhelmed.

"Engong...you are joking, you are joking." Although Wei Ying is a martial arts practitioner, facing the pursuit of Deng's family, he could only run away sullenly.

"I'm not kidding." Cheng Sanwu said: "With your current situation, you can't escape far at all. The best thing is to kill all the pursuers, not even one who fled back to Deng's house to inform them. Naturally, they don't know. You go to Lingzhou. Only in this way can you rely on your relatives and friends and live a peaceful life again."

This set of arguments is really beyond imagination for the young couple. Even if they elope and flee, they have never thought of killing the pursuers.

"At first glance, you don't run the rivers and lakes." Cheng Sanwu seemed to be lamenting the incompetence of the seniors: "For things like escaping from the pursuers, you can't just run wildly, and you can't go straight to the destination, otherwise the pursuers will go around. In front of you. When the time comes to block back and forth, there will be nowhere to escape."

Everyone was silent when they heard the words, Wei Ying was shocked, Zhang Fan and others were thoughtful.

Especially Zhang Fan, although Eunuch Feng did not fully explain Cheng Sanwu's background, he still mentioned that he had committed a major crime and fled from the Central Plains to the Western Regions.

From this point of view, Cheng Sanwu is proficient in "escape".But Zhang Fan still didn't understand what Cheng Sanwu had gone through before he came up with the appalling method of killing all the pursuers.

"From here to Lingzhou, you can only go along Malingshui, right?" Cheng Sanwu looked at Zhang Fan, seeing him nodding, he continued: "You keep going forward, the pursuers will definitely be able to predict your arrival." The general direction, even if you don't engage in chasing and intercepting, it will be convenient for them to follow all the way. Anyway, you will definitely not be able to escape, let alone a pregnant woman with you.

"If it were me, I would go around in circles with them in this area, using the ups and downs of the mountains, the confluence of rivers, and the clutter of people to force them to disperse, and then kill them one by one, scaring them so much that they dare not pursue again. , hide in order to protect yourself, and it will be much easier to escape at this time."

Wei Ying said helplessly: "Grand En's martial arts are superb, so I can't compare them."

"You are not good at martial arts, so don't hook up with other people's daughters." Cheng Sanwu smiled and shook his head. Seeing that Wei Ying's mouth was slightly open and was about to retort, he raised his hand to stop him: "I know what you want to say, but now you In this way, you will not only suffer for yourself, but also drag down the Deng family lady and the unborn child. It is better to practice a strong martial arts before you start, even if the Deng family lady is married to someone else, you can still commit adultery with her."

These words are so out of the ordinary, even the Embroidered Clothes Emissary, who has little scruples in his actions, feels absurd and bizarre at this moment.As for the young couple Wei Deng, they were even more speechless with their mouths wide open.

"Senior Brother Zhang, I've already figured out a method, what do you think we should do?" Cheng Sanwu looked at Zhang Fan with great interest, and looked quite complacent, as if he really came up with some brilliant plan.

The blue veins on Zhang Fan's eyebrows and forehead twitched slightly. He suspected that Cheng Sanwu was deliberately causing trouble. How could this solve the problem?It's clearly going to poke Lou Zi!
"The two of you might as well go back to your room to rest first, let us discuss it." Zhang Fan couldn't bear it any longer, half persuading and half urging, asking the young couple to leave.

Wei and Deng pleaded repeatedly to no avail, so they had to bow and leave.And Zhang Fan and others also returned to the guest room. After closing the doors and windows, Hu Yi took out a four-edged and nine-section iron mace from his pouch, with talismans written on each side with cinnabar. With a pestle, a round of mana spread outward, covering the room.

Cheng Sanwu was a little surprised, obviously Hu Yi looked big and round, and he should rely on his strength to eat, but he didn't expect that he was proficient in magic and had a magic weapon with him.

"This spell can isolate the sound from inside and outside." Hu Yi said in a muffled voice, not bothering to pay attention to Cheng Sanwu's eyes, as if he was a little dissatisfied.

Hu Yi was not the only one who was dissatisfied. Zhang Fan immediately asked Cheng Sanwu: "What are you going to do? It is unnecessary to intervene to save people on your own initiative! And you even proposed to kill all the pursuers... Where did someone escape capture like this?"

Facing Zhang Fan who was furious, Cheng Sanwu took it lightly: "I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Besides, aren't you embroidered clothes messengers? Isn't it natural to kill these short-sighted guys when you go out on business? ?”

Zhang Fan immediately retorted: "Of course not! Where did you hear these nonsense?"

"That's how it's spread in the market and the streets." Cheng Sanwu had an innocent face.

"I—" Zhang Fan felt that his head was swollen with anger, but he still suppressed his anger and said, "The rumors in the market cannot be completely believed. Although the embroidered clothes messenger did commit murder, most of them It is used to intimidate, not to hack and kill. Moreover, if the murder is not handled properly, it will only lead to more troubles, and it will not do any good for us to secretly investigate and deal with it!"

Cheng Sanwu had a good time: "That's why I said to kill all the pursuers. It's better to lead them to a place where no one is around, and it's also convenient to destroy the corpses and wipe out the traces."

Zhang Fan felt that this reason could not go on: "You are with Shang Zhangjun, and you also do things like this?"

Cheng Sanwu thought for a while, when he dealt with the gang of thieves in Yuntingzhai, he just chased them down to the end, leaving no one behind, so he said, "Almost, it's easier this way."

"Save the trouble..." Zhang Fan had given up arguing, so he could only ask: "But what does Wei and Deng have to do with us because they eloped and fled? Why did we have to make such a fuss?"

"Anyway, they are also going to Lingzhou, I think it's better to go together in the name of escort." Cheng Sanwu said: "Didn't that Wei Ying say that he has distant relatives in Shuofang Jiedu Mansion? I don't think this is a lie, just right , the local salt pond produces a lot of supplies for military supplies, and the investigation might implicate the Jiedu Mansion, so we need someone to inquire about the situation in the mansion for us, right?"

Zhang Fan opened his mouth, and then fell into deep thought.What Cheng Sanwu said was not unreasonable. Embroidered clothes envoys like them never minded one more source of news when they went out to investigate.

In fact, Zhang Fan originally wanted to say that the Embroidered Clothes Emissary didn't just rely on fighting and killing, but human sophistication was equally important, but the other party had already thought of it.

"You proposed to kill all the pursuers because you knew they were going to Lingzhou?" Zhang Fan asked seriously.

But Cheng Sanwu said: "If you have a way to dissuade those pursuers, then you don't need to fight and kill them."

Zhang Fan pondered for a long time, and then asked the other two: "What do you think?"

"I don't care." Xu 23 didn't care about the lives of the Deng family's pursuers at all: "But this kind of thing, whoever proposes it, whoever does it, I don't want to clean up the mess."

Hu Yi said: "That group has dozens of horses, and they can sell them for money when they bring them to Lingzhou, so it's like earning some extra money."

Zhang Fan didn't immediately agree, but Cheng Sanwu was surprised, he originally thought that the other two would strongly oppose it, but he didn't expect that they all had ordinary expressions, maybe they had done similar behaviors.

"Okay." In the end, Zhang Fan still agreed with everyone. He looked at Cheng Sanwu: "But one thing, I will report this matter to Eunuch Feng in the future. Whether it is right or wrong, you will be responsible for it."

Cheng Sanwu laughed and said: "Of course! And I don't need you to bother me too much, as long as I clean up the fish that slipped through the net outside."

"When are you going to do it?" Zhang Fan asked.

"There's no need to wait, it's now!" Cheng Sanwu said with a sinister smile, "Taking advantage of the darkness, lure that group of people to the nearby valley, and then kill them all!"
