Chapter 87 Transporting heroes is not free

Seeing Gao Wen's hands stiff in his arms, the boss's expression suddenly turned ugly, and he thought: Unlucky, I met someone who eats Bawang's meal and lives in Bawang's restaurant.

Seeing his boss's face was livid, the little second next to him was also gearing up, and his eyes fell on the stick leaning against the wall.After only one order, Gao Wen was beaten violently.

Gao Wen's heart was full, and he was silent for a moment, before he said: "Shopkeeper, I'm sorry, I was in a hurry when I came here, and I forgot to bring the money. Otherwise, I will bet this knife on you. This knife was handed down by my ancestors." Yes, it’s also worth a few taels of silver.”

After all, he took off the knife.

This Yanling Saber was bought by Gao Wen's father when he was working in the Yamen, it is different from the one made by the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty.Thick back and thin blade, as soon as the sheath is pulled out, there is a cold light flashing, and there is still a faint bloody light when he slashed Han Kui that day.

The shop owner shook his head and shouted: "I just opened a shop to do business. What do I want you to do with a murder weapon? Is it possible that you are still doing business with no capital? Besides, your knife is not worth much money?" Even though he said so, he still took the knife and turned his gaze to the package behind Gao Wen.

Gao Wen was also helpless: "Boss, here are just a few changes of clothes..."

"Take it away!" The boss waved his hand, and a waiter stepped forward and grabbed it.

Gao Wen was furious and was about to explode. After thinking for a while, he just shook his head: "Is this enough?"

The boss looked at the jacket on Gao Wen's body again.

Gao Wen: "Shop owner, let me go to Zhuanglang County to visit relatives. Speaking of which, my hometown is also in Pingliang. People in the village can't do everything well. You see, I am very sick. If even the clothes on my body are damaged by you It’s peeled off, I’m afraid it won’t last for a few days. The money owed to you by the store will be sent to the cabinet, and when I find relatives, I will pay you back double, okay?”

The boss sneered: "Look at you, you have a fierce face, you can't tell where the thief came from. Stop talking nonsense, take off your clothes and pay the bill, otherwise, let's go to the yamen to meet the officials together." He reached out and grabbed Gawain's belt.

At this moment, Gao Wen finally couldn't contain his anger, he clenched his fist, and was about to hit that bastard in the face.At this time, a little boy rushed in and shouted: "Master, something serious happened, many people died!"

The shopkeeper let go of Gao Wen and asked, "Why did you run, be careful to crash something, why did so many people die?"

When Xiao Er shouted, many people gathered immediately.

Xiaoer gasped and said, "On the day before yesterday, a group of people escorting military supplies from Hancheng was robbed by bandits when they passed through Ningzhou. More than half of the twenty or so civilian husbands died. According to those who survived It is said that the reason why the convoy was robbed was because of an insider."

Hearing Xiao Er mention this, Gao Wen's heart trembled, and he listened carefully.

Shop owner: "What ghost?"

Xiao Er: "This inner ghost is a person with status. It is said that the surname is Gao Mingwen, and he is the master in charge of criminal names in Hancheng County. The two made an appointment to elope together, but it was a pity that they had no money at hand. Therefore, the high master put his idea on this batch of military funds, colluded with bandits, and robbed six carts of property on the way , and wanted to slaughter all the peasants to silence them. It was also he who kept a few secrets out of the way, so that several peasants escaped with their lives."

"At that moment, those folks ran back to Hancheng to report the crime. The county magistrate of Hancheng was furious, and issued a document to arrest this master surnamed Gao."

"This man surnamed Gao is ruthless, and this is more than ten lives!" Everyone in the shop took a breath and said, "We haven't had such a shocking murder in Shaanxi for many years!"

The shop owner still didn't believe it, so he scolded the little girl: "Xiao Shanzi, you are an outspoken person on weekdays, and you can talk about big things, but I don't believe it. I don't know more people than you, why? Never heard of such a thing?"

The man named Xiaoshanzi was very wronged, "Boss, you forgot, I have a cousin who is doing business in Ningzhou, Qingyang Prefecture. He just came back from there early this morning, and said that he entered the government office with his own eyes and posted a notice. It’s still false. Ningzhou is only half a day’s journey away from us, so it’s impossible to say that the official document of the sea arrest will be sent to our county tomorrow morning, and you will know when the boss sees it.”

The shop owner nodded: "So, I believe this to some extent." He sighed again: "This man named Gao is really fierce, the sky is bright and the sun is bright, the world is bright, and he is bold...By the way, what is the name of Master Gao?" ?”

Xiao Shanzi: "If you go back to the master's house, your surname is Gao Mingwen."

"Gao Wen..." The shop owner cast his eyes on Gao Wen: "It seems to be the same as the guest officer's?"

Gao Wen heard the buzzing in his head, and a thought came to his mind: "It's Huang Wei, yes, it must be him... Seeing that he couldn't ambush me halfway to kill Gao Wen, he simply framed me for colluding with the mountain. A thief, robbing military supplies. He overshadowed the sky in the county government with one hand, and Du Shenghui is a fool who doesn't ask about everything, so he probably doesn't care about it. Now, there are all witnesses and material evidence, and my felony of beheading has been confirmed. Now Hai Arrest the official document, use the means of the surname Huang, once I fall into the hands of the government, I am afraid that I will be imprisoned by him before I pass the trial. Huang Wei, Huang Wei, you are trying to put me in Gao Wen Hurry up when you die!"

"If this beast falls into the hands of my Gao Wen in the future, it will be shredded into thousands of pieces."

In the midst of his annoyance, when he heard the shop owner's question, Gao Wen's body broke out in cold sweat.

Looking at the other people in the store, they all looked skeptical.

Gao Wen didn't dare to delay any longer, he hurriedly took off his padded jacket, threw it on the counter, and said coldly, "There are too many people with the same name and surname in the world, I'll give you the jacket, and we'll clear it up."

After finishing speaking, he swept his eyes away, gathered his strength and strode out of the store.

He is tall and has long arms. Five or six lives were stuck in his hands during the night of bloody battle. When he started to kill, he naturally carried a murderous aura on his body, and no one dared to stop him.

……

When Gao Wen went far away, a waiter carefully said to the boss: "Master, do you think this person is the murderer surnamed Gao, or let's go to the yamen to report to the officials and have him arrested."

"You bastard, eat radishes and worry less." The boss kicked him and scolded: "Open the door to do business, and you want to get rich. Even if this kid was the thief just now, so what if you took him. Didn’t send it to us, and there is no reward to get? Besides, even if he is caught. There is no guarantee that he has no accomplices. He knows that he is an official from our newspaper. If he kills him in the future, he will be asking for trouble. Have you read "Water Margin"? Haven’t seen it before, have you heard of it? Besides, I don’t think this kid looks like a thief. If he was really a thief, would he be in such a miserable state?”

Everyone laughed and said, "That's right. If he was the thief who robbed six carts of property, he would have gone somewhere to hide somewhere and have a good time."

……

After leaving the door of the inn, a gust of cold wind blew in, and Gao Wen couldn't help shivering.

He was recovering from a serious illness and couldn't stand it immediately.

I also know that if this goes on like this, I might really die of illness.Immediately asked the direction of Zhuanglang County and strode forward.

Only by moving can the body be warm.

It is about eighty miles from Huating to Zhuanglang County. If it is in Hyundai, it takes less than an hour to drive.But here is ancient times, no matter what, you have to walk for a whole day, and you have to be fast.If you walk slowly, you may have to spend the night on the road.

What's more terrible is that this is already the hinterland of the Loess Plateau, surrounded by yellow mountains, which makes people feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.

In the past, Gao Wen was in good health, so this was nothing.But now my body is so weak that I can't walk a few miles, and my body is hot, but I'm panting.

After walking about ten miles, my legs became weak.

Looking up at the sky again, there are soft snowflakes flying with the wind.

Gao Wen was surprised, but he couldn't control it so much, so he pulled up his strength and walked forward.

By noon, the snow in the sky was heavy, and it was a vast expanse of whiteness, and my stomach was rumbling with hunger.Gao Wen was already numb to walking, he only moved forward mechanically, his vest felt chills, and he felt great sadness in his heart.

Since traveling to the Ming Dynasty, he copied "Journey to the West" and made a lot of money; he broke the big case of Baoen Temple and was rewarded by the magistrate Du County.Whenever something happens, as long as he does it, it can be done smoothly.

In one night, I fell into such a state of desperation, maybe I would freeze to death in this snow field, as long as I exhausted all the strength in my body.

It's still the same saying: when the world comes, the world is the same force, and the hero is not free when transported away.

……

It's really too cold, too tired... I really want to sit on the ground and have a good sleep.

Strange to say, in such a cold day, Gao Wen's eyelids felt extremely heavy, and he couldn't help but fight up and down.

Many times, Gao Wen wanted to give up.

"However, if there is something wrong with me, how will my mother and Youyi survive? Now that I have become a wanted fugitive, it will take a few days before the official arrest document will be sent to Pingliang Mansion. At that time, It is true that there is no way to go to heaven, and no way to go to earth. Now that Niang and Miss Shi are in their hometown, they don’t know what it’s like to be sad... With Huang Wei’s vicious nature as a beast, isn’t he afraid that he won’t let them go?”

"No, I want to persevere, I want to live, for Mother, for Miss Shi!"

"But... so what if I see Shi Linsheng in Zhuanglang County? Even if I get out of my lowly status and settle in Zhuanglang, with such a big case on my back, Shi Linsheng can't help me. Once I go, that is Throw yourself into a trap!"

"No, there's still time, there's still time." Gawain raised his hand and slapped himself hard, trying to wake himself up a bit.

In ancient times, there was no Internet, telegraph, or telephone, and the speed of information transmission was as slow as a snail.In addition, after the Renzong and Xuanzong dynasties of the Ming Dynasty trusted civil servants, the civil servant group gradually became larger, and the bureaucratic style of the major yamen in the central and local governments was serious, and they procrastinated and shunned committees.It may take a while for official documents like this to be sent to Pingliang across two prefectures.It took a long time to find out my Gao Wen's identity and send someone to arrest me.

It will take a month or two until Gao Wen is arrested, right?As long as I hide my identity well.Bah, what a trap!

In the past two months, we can make a good fuss.
