In May, Cangzhou.
This time of year is at the turn of spring and summer; today, it is getting hotter, but not too hot. In addition, it just rained two days ago, so I am walking on the road today. People feel very comfortable.
It was on such a pleasant day that father and son Dugu Sheng and Dugu Yong finally arrived in Cangzhou City.
Speaking of which, when these two people entered the city, they encountered a little incident...
Originally, the officers and soldiers guarding the city here were already used to seeing Jianghu people. , so they didn’t ask too much about travelers like them who were wearing weapons, but Dugu and his son also brought a “large piece of luggage tightly wrapped in black cloth” – this thing is a must-have for everyone. Check it out.
It’s okay if you have swords and clubs in your hands, but what if your black cloth is packed with explosives? Or are they hiding abducted people? Anyway, it must be something "shady", otherwise why would you be so secretive about it?
So the officers and soldiers stopped Dugu and his son and asked them to open their luggage and check it.
The Dugu father and son absolutely refused, because their "large luggage" wrapped in black cloth was the broken piano, belt and lantern entrusted to them by the three ghosts of the Peng family. It was specially wrapped to protect the ghost attached to the object from the outside world. If you open it here, who knows what will happen?
If Duguyong were to encounter the group of officers and soldiers in front of him alone, and they would pull each other, they would have to take action.
Fortunately, Dugu Sheng was present, and this old man was quite tactful in handling matters. He took out the money on the spot as he always did to "treat all policemen and brothers to drink", went up to smile, and tried to mediate a few words. , the other party agreed to let them take the things to the shade and open them again.
After checking, there was nothing wrong. In the eyes of the officers and soldiers, these were just a few pieces of junk that could not be pawned for much money at a pawn shop, so they let Dugu and his son go.
The two of them entered the city, stayed at an inn, put away their luggage, and then, according to Duguyong's instructions, they immediately took the "stuff" to Xingyi Gate to find Shao Shanhu. Sun Tzu confronts me.
But Dugu Sheng was not as impulsive as him. He immediately gave his son a wink and told his son not to say anything more and come out with him.
Then the two left the guest room, or rather... left the few pieces of luggage that they had kept with them all the way.
After arriving outside the inn, in broad daylight, Dugu Sheng said to his son: "Son, do you really plan to take those three things and confront Shao Shanhu?"< /p>
"What else?" Dugu Yong asked doubtfully, "Am I still afraid of that kid?"
"It's not a question of whether I'm afraid or not." Dugu Sheng said, "That's the thing Son... it’s not easy to handle.”
He paused and then said: “After I woke up from the dream of the Peng family that night, dad told you about this matter. ... Even if everything the three ghosts said was true - that Shao Shanhu was plotting evil, beating and hurting people, and deliberately disrupting the Peng family's business,In the end, the family was forced to sell their property and move away from home...
"But in the final analysis, these things are just bullying, not direct killing, and Shao Shanhu did not want to He means to kill them.
"So, how do you settle this account with him? Even if you sue the government, it will be difficult to convict him. "
"Dad, my child disagrees with this. "Dugu Yong said, "Then if there is a person who bullies another person every day for fun, and in the end the bullied person jumps into the river and dies, or the latter runs away from home in order not to be bullied, and ends up encountering an accident elsewhere, that is Couldn't it be said that the person who bullied him never thought that he would die, so he had no responsibility?
"As for whether the government can convict people...heh, as chivalrous people, aren't we supposed to take care of things that the government can't take care of?"
Dugu Sheng heard this. , shook his head, and continued in a deep voice: "Son, my father understands everything you said, and he can also understand that from the position of the youngest of the Peng family, whether the other party is intentional or not, the tragedy of their family is ultimately due to Shao Shan Tiger rises, it’s okay for them to seek revenge on Shao Shanhu... Dad just wants to say, it’s not appropriate for us to handle this matter..."
He paused again. After a few seconds, he patiently analyzed his son: "Think about it, we can't just run to Xingyi Gate with the three relics of the Peng family in broad daylight, and then tell Shao Shanhu... There are three people here. The ghosts died in the mountains after being forced away by you. Now they want to settle the score with you. Are you going to pay for them with your life? Or do you want to discuss with the ghosts and see how they can forgive you?
"Really? Based on this, people will either think that we are making up stories to find trouble, or they will think that we are sick... If we tell it later, fellow Jianghu people will not think that we are justified. "
"Oh..." Duguyong finally came back to his senses, and his mood calmed down a lot, "Then it's up to you, dad..."
" Go again in the evening. "Dugu Sheng, this old man, started to be very happy when he got here, "Well around the time of childbirth, when the Yin Qi was the strongest, we sneaked into Xingyi Gate secretly and put those things on Shao Shanhu's bed. After that, it's just a matter between the four of them, it has nothing to do with us. "
"This..." Duguyong stood there dumbfounded. He had never traveled with his father in the past, but this time we went out together. Unexpectedly, he always went out at critical moments. As for the chicken thief, "If we do this... we won't cause dissatisfaction with those three ghosts." "
"That's why I asked you not to talk too much to them. Dugu Sheng replied, "As the saying goes, yin and yang things are yin and yang. We used black cloth to protect them all the way here, and finally sent them to their enemies. We have already exhausted our benevolence. No matter how much we do, let them do it themselves." Let's solve it...what else do you want to discuss with them? Just do it. ”
Duguyong was persuaded by his father.
In terms of sword-wielding talent, Duguyong may be better than his father, but in terms of this kind of behavior, or playing tricksIn terms of his ability to use his mind to play tricks, he is far from his father.
As you can see from Dugu Yong’s performance at Wujian Villa, this guy’s character is almost like that of Lei Buji, who has a slightly higher intelligence and a more arrogant attitude towards the enemy. The "dumb" part of people is the same.
Of course, because he is much more handsome than Lei Buji, even if his personality is similar, his impression on people in the world is still different... To describe it, Zhang Fei, A Ma Chao.
Back to business...
The two father and son agreed on the plan, went to eat something, and then returned to the inn to take a nap. After all, they were rushing quite slowly along the way. Because you are tired, you have to take a rest.
What is gratifying is that traveling in this way did allow them to arrive a few days earlier than expected, so the "competition to recruit a bride" discussed by Dugu Sheng and his friend Lao Gao will not be held for a few days, and it is not It influenced them to deal with the three ghosts of the Peng family tonight.
In the blink of an eye, it was late at night.
At Haishi, Dugu and his son wrapped a large box containing a broken piano, a belt, and a lantern in black cloth and took it out of the door.
When you see this, some people may subconsciously think that this box is too big or difficult to handle, but in fact, it is okay. You can imagine that it is a box for a cello, but the shape is different.
This is not the kind of size that one person cannot lift. Moreover, the combined weight of these three things is not heavy. Ordinary people can lift it, let alone martial arts masters like them. Next words.
Although the Dugu father and son came out at night to do the "sneaking in" business, they did not wear night clothes.
This is because they are very confident in their own strength.
Secondly...it's because they all know in their hearts that Xingyimen without Lin Yuancheng is really a la carte.
The two of them just walked on the street, heading towards Xingyi Gate. Anyway, by this point, there was no one on the street. Even if they were really unlucky, I bumped into an official on duty at night. Neither of them were wearing night clothes. Isn't it okay to say that they went shopping at night with a few pieces of rags?
Unexpectedly, Dugu and his son did not encounter any official officials while walking, but they bumped into two people who were about to go back to bed after eating supper.
“Damn it, the boss of this place is really dishonest. Not to mention there was too little donkey meat in the roast. I saw two fish balls in the fish ball soup. He didn’t admit it even after I exposed it. , saying that I am a fishball liar."
"Forget it, Brother Sun, it's not easy for this family to be doing business in the middle of the night. It's enough to eat."
Listening to the footsteps, these two guys were still more than ten meters away from the corner ahead, but their distinctive conversations and voices had already made Dugu Yong know their identities.
A few seconds later, the two parties appeared in each other's sight.
"Eh? Isn't this Brother Yong? What a coincidence." In the incident at Wujian VillaLater, Sun and Huang called Duguyong this.
When Dugu Yong took a look, he unexpectedly met Shuangxie again here and now. He didn’t know whether to be happy or embarrassed: "Uh... I came from the east, Yixie, long time no see."
He was stunned for a moment, then realized that he wanted to introduce him to his father, and then quickly turned to Dugu Sheng and said: "Oh, dad, these two are the 'Eastern Harmony and Western Poison' - Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai ..."
After that, he looked at Sun and Huang and introduced: "You two, this is my father."
Dugu Yong introduced his father. That's it, because according to old etiquette, he cannot say his father's full name when his father is present. It would be impolite.
At this time, Dugu Sheng had to report it himself: "I, Dugu Sheng, have always heard of the chivalrous names of these two nephews. When I saw them today, they are indeed talented people."
You all have seen this set of words, and everyone in the world knows them.
Normally, Shuangxie would have responded with a flattering package right now, just to chat with each other, and a few nice words would be free of charge.
But today, as soon as Sun Yixie was about to speak, he felt something was wrong - after he came to Dugu and his son and said the first greeting, the old wounds on his face suddenly began to appear faintly. Pain.
Huang Donglai was even more straightforward. After Dugu Sheng finished speaking, he immediately took a step forward, stared at Dugu and his son with solemn eyes, and then said: "You two. ...In the middle of the night, with three ghosts behind my back, where are we going?
