Chapter Twelve: It Was This Adult(1/2)

"You little brat, you thought you could endure it if you knew how to do some Flying Stone Kungfu.

Listen, if you dare to talk about my young master behind his back again, I will knock your big teeth out!"

After the silver-haired woman finished speaking to Zhao Han, she landed on the ground and threw something into Yan Heng's hand: "Let me put all these people into the city!"

After saying that, the woman limped along with the white horse and disappeared into the sea of ​​people.

Seeing the beauty in white and the domineering woman, the people were dumbfounded.

Zhao Han smiled and watched the two people leave: "Uncle, everyone has left, you should get up too."

"Then...what should I do with the things in the baby's hands?" The middle-aged farmer looked at the white jade bird.

"If you don't take it, you won't get it."

Zhao Han picked up Zhan Yinzhu, tossed it, and handed it into the girl's hand:

"Xiao Liu'er, are you right?"

Xiao Liu'er raised the jade bird and silver beads and laughed. The middle-aged farmer bowed to Zhao Han and Luo Yu'er and thanked them.

He didn't know that the two "baubles" in his daughter's hands were worth more than he could spend in his lifetime.

"master……"

The government officials helped Yan Heng up and said, "Oh no, Captor, what will we do now? Can we still collect the gift money?"

Yan Heng has not yet calmed down.

In the past few days, the gift money had been collected very smoothly. But today, the weirdos he met were more powerful than the last, and he was beaten to the point where he was a little confused.

He suddenly felt that there was something heavy in his hand. It was two connected gold leaves, and the workmanship was very fine.

"What...is going on?" Yan Heng asked.

A shrewd government official whispered: "Captain, this leaf was left by the crazy woman. She also said, 'Let the man into the city.'

Does that mean that this is the money we pay for these people, and then we let them go?"

The price of this gold leaf is enough to pay dozens of times for everyone present.

I just slapped her in the face and gave her money. What the hell happened to this crazy woman?

At this time, another government servant ran over from the city and said in Yan Heng's ear: "Master, there are orders over there..."

"Okay, retreat, retreat quickly..."

Yan Heng nodded repeatedly and ran towards the city with the government officials.

The long-robed scholar looked at these people, and then at the brocade carriage on the roadside in the distance. The government servant came from the carriage.

The long-robed scholar's gaze was as cold as a mountain.

On the carriage over there, the middle-aged scholar Kong Yuan lowered the horse curtain.

"Kong Yuan," the handsome man next to him said a little angry, "Why did you ask people to withdraw?"

"Now that that person has come forward," Kong Yuan's voice was calm, "his people will be here soon. There is no need to confront him head-on at this moment."

"What about the ghost-killing gift? So much money, why do you want to take it?"

"Master Dugu," Kong Yuan said, "isn't it easy to collect this gift money?

Who is that person and who is your father? Isn’t this a matter of just one sentence? Why go to all the trouble here? What’s more..."

Kong Yuan paused and seemed to think of someone:

"The boy in the green shirt is not an ordinary character. With him here, I won't be able to collect the money today."

"Hmph," said the handsomely dressed young man, "a pariah is nothing to mention. But that woman is rare and handsome, with that figure, and is also good at martial arts.

Hey, how dare you offend me, let's see how I will punish you."

"Young Master is right," Kong Yuan said.

"And the one on the white horse."

The handsome man lifted up the curtain and looked at the direction of the girl in white, with fascination on his face:

"The woman playing with the stick is just pretty. But this is the first time in my life that I, Dugu Liang, have seen such a beauty like the woman in white.

Kong Yuan.

You have sent people to keep an eye on these two people."

"Don't worry, sir." Kong Yuan said.

The handsome man smiled evilly, lowered the curtain, the coachman raised his whip, and the carriage disappeared into the streets.

At the city gate, the people cheered and bowed in gratitude: "My dear husband, my dear lady, without you, we would not be able to enter the city gate today..."

Luo Yu'er was a little embarrassed and returned the favor repeatedly. Zhao Han quietly slipped out of the crowd and walked towards the scholar in the long gown.

"Hello, brother."

He looked familiar again, "My name is Zhao Han, what do you call me brother?"

The scholar in the long gown didn't look at him.

In the city, the dusty roads were billowing, and dozens of people came running in. They were all dressed in the uniforms of government officials, but they were not the same group of people as those who had just left.

"Master Zhang, everyone is here, please give your orders." The current head catcher bowed.

The long-robed scholar just looked at the head catcher, making him panic.

"What time is it now?" the scholar asked.

"Return to your lord," said the head catcher, "this subordinate came out in a hurry and didn't look at the time..."

"It's three o'clock. It's been an hour and a half since I asked you to go back and summon people. Jia Zhen, what have you been doing?"

"Subordinate..."

"I always delay doing things like this, waiting for the thief to escape before he comes. How do I teach you on weekdays?"

The scholar's words were cold, and the head catcher Jia Zhen apologized several times, and then hurriedly led the government officials to clear the city gate.

The long-robed scholar then turned his head and said coldly:

"Zhang Mochen."

"It's Brother Zhang," Zhao Han said, "Oh no, I should call you Zhang County Lieutenant. Mr. Zhang is the right one."

Zhang Mochen's eyes narrowed: "Who are you?"

Zhao Han smiled:

"My lord, as soon as you came out just now, you exposed the identity of that group of people as fake government servants. Judging from the way the guy used a stick to catch the head, you must have been right.

This is a large county, and there are at least several arrestees in the yamen.

You recognized at a glance that the stick-wielding men were not head catchers, and you insisted that they were not here under the orders of the county captain.

Your words also contained the words "Laws of the Tang Dynasty" and "Reduced Sentences". The newly arrived guards all respectfully called you Mr. Zhang.

Besides the Shangguan who arrests the head of the Yamen, and the County Lieutenant of Shangxian County, who else is there?"

Zhang Mochen said nothing.

"Those thieves just now," Zhao Han said again, "Sir, you seem to know them. Can you tell me their origins?"

Zhang Mochen looked into the distance and saw the girl Luo Yuer who had just helped him:

"I said, those people are a group of gangsters in the city."

"That's not right."

Zhao Han said, "This group of people is well-organized and well-equipped with weapons. The notices they brought were stamped with the official seal of the county government, which ordinary gangsters cannot do."

The scholar in the long gown looked at where the carriage had been and said nothing.

Zhao Han also glanced there: "It's official time now, sir, but you are outside in casual clothes. Are you investigating some major case?

Is it that, ‘The Case of the Ghost with a Human Head’?”

"This is not what you should ask." Zhang Mochen said.

"That's right, then I'll take the liberty to ask someone else.

I heard that there is a gentleman named Luo Yuantang in the county government here. I wonder what his official position is and where he is now?"

Zhang Mochen's eyes suddenly turned cold:

"How do you know Mr. Luo's name?"

"When we entered the city," Zhao Han said, "I heard the villagers mentioned it. Sir, is there anything wrong with this?"

Zhang Mochen looked at him:

"The less you know about some things, the less you will be troubled."

After saying that, he turned around and disappeared into the sea of ​​people.

The people all dispersed, and Luo Yu'er came over: "Zhao Han, was it you who saved Xiao Liu'er just now?"
