Chapter Fourteen An Anecdote(1/2)

After lunch, Mo Ziming and his party bid farewell.

After leaving the house, Lu Buping subconsciously asked: "Brother Mo, where will you go next?"

"Guobei County!"

"Guobei County?" Qin Song was stunned: "What are the fun places in Guobei County?"

"Lanruo Temple!"

Mo Ziming had already inquired about it. This place is not far from Guobei County, only a few dozen miles away.

Since you have arrived here, how can you not go to see Lanruo Temple?

Lu Buping said in a little puzzled manner: "Lanruo Temple? Why is there such a strange temple name?"

Lan Ruo means a temple in general. If Lan Ruo adds a temple, it seems that it is unnecessary to repeat it.

However, the word "Lan Ruo" pronounced "re", while the "Ruo" in Lan Ruo Temple pronounced "ruo" is still a thing of the past in terms of pronunciation.

I walked and stopped all the way, and in the evening, I arrived at a small roadside inn.

"Three guests, please come in!"

The guy came up enthusiastically.

"Man, how far is it to the county town?"

"It's about twenty miles."

"Well, this way, I have to go to three rooms and have some wine and food."

"Okay, three guests, please sit for a while, and then let's make arrangements for the younger ones."

There are three tables of guests in the store who are drinking and chatting.

It seems that there are two tables that are passing merchants, and one table should be a person in the martial arts world.

"Three guests, the wine and food are here..."

After a while, the guy quickly brought the wine and food to the table.

"Customer, please give me any instructions if there is not enough food and food."

"Yeah~"

"Okay, I won't bother the three guests."

The guy pulled away with the tray.

"Come on, Brother Qin and Brother Lu, you two have been on the way for a long time, and have a drink to relieve your fatigue."

Mo Ziming reached out to get the wine pot.

"Brother Mo, how can you do this kind of small thing? Let me do it."

Lu Buping quickly grabbed the wine pot and poured wine.

Maybe Mo Ziming wouldn't care about these details, but Lu Buping had to worry about them.

After all, Mo Ziming and Qin Song are both scholars, and their status and status are much higher than that of him, a scholar.

The three of them chatted while drinking.

After a while, a messy movement suddenly came from outside...

"Everyone is sitting in place and not moving!"

Then, several officers and soldiers rushed in for a long time, looking murderous intent.

"Everyone lifts your head!"

The leading little leader held a portrait in his hand and began to identify it one by one.

"Thank you all for your hard work..."

The shopkeeper quickly ran to the little boss and stuffed a small incision of silver without showing any expression.

There is no way, you can avoid disaster due to money.

If these officers and soldiers are angered, they must say that they are hiding something in this small shop... that would be a big trouble.

Maybe they will arrest people and close the store.

The little leader did not show any expression and put the silver into his sleeve, and held the portrait to Mo Ziming and the other two.

Mo Ziming cooperated, raised his head and smiled, "What? Are you catching the fugitive?"

The little leader asked with a cold face and a formal tone: "What are you three doing? Where do you come from? Where do you go?"

Lu Buping replied: "We are scholars, we come from Qiantang County and go to Guobei County."

"Go to Guobei County? What to do?"

"Of course, I'm traveling around."

The little leader frowned, looked at the portrait, then looked at the three of them carefully, and then walked towards the people in the martial arts world: "What are you doing? Where are you coming from and where are you going?"

After checking the people in the store, the little leader and his men searched around the inn and found nothing in the end.

Before leaving, he posted a wanted order in the store and said to the shopkeeper: "Remember, once you find a suspicious person, go to the county government to report immediately."

"Yes, yes, it must be."

"Walk!"

The little leader led people away.

"Dear officials, please go slowly..."

The shopkeeper gave it out with a smile on his face.

Mo Ziming subconsciously glanced at the reward order and found that he was a rough-looking man, not Zhuge Wolong or Hou Hu and others.

After drinking, the three of them went back to their room to rest.

Mo Ziming sat cross-legged, calmed his mind and began to regulate his breathing and qi.

After a while, a slight movement suddenly came from the roof.

Ordinary people may not care, just think that it is a cat walking by the roof.

But Mo Ziming sensed that the other party was a person. Since he could walk on the roof and the movement was so slight, it meant that the other party was a martial arts man with good light skills.

After thinking about it, Mo Ziming chased him out... Anyway, he was idle, what if the other party was the thief on the reward order?

After leaping onto the roof, I found that the other party had jumped off the roof and ran into the wild. Judging from his movements, he seemed to have suffered some injuries.

Mo Ziming soon chased behind the other party.

"who?"

The other party sensed someone chasing him, turned around with panic and waved a short knife in his hand.

At this time, Mo Ziming finally saw clearly that the officers and soldiers before were pursuing the thief.

"I didn't expect you to really hide in the inn..."

Mo Ziming suddenly looked at the other person.

It seems that it may be that he was injured by an arrow, with a hole under his left shoulder and his clothes covered with blood.

The other party hesitated for a moment, maybe he couldn't see through Mo Ziming's depth and did not dare to act rashly.

So, he endured the pain and hugged his fists: "Friend, you and I have no grudges or grudges. Please give up your hands, Cheng is very grateful!"

"Then why are you wanted by the government?"

Hearing this, a trace of hatred flashed out in the man's eyes: "That's because the dog official is guilty and wants to silence him."

"Dog official? Silence?"

The man nodded: "Yes, I think my friend is also a man from the world. I'll tell you the truth. The magistrate of Guobei County is a fake magistrate. In order to secure this position, the scammer attacked his brothers one after another..."

Mo Ziming looked surprised: "Fake County Magistrate? What's going on?"

"My friend, it's better not to inquire about this, it will not do you any good."

"You don't have to worry about this... Besides, if you don't explain the reason, then I can only treat you as a thief and catch you to meet the official."

"you……"

The man looked angry and subconsciously squeezed the hilt of the knife.

But looking at Mo Ziming's leisurely expression and not taking him seriously, he couldn't help but let go.

He dared not take risks, and once he took action, he might really have no room for maneuver.

So he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let me tell you the truth..."

Unexpectedly, this man's eloquence was quite good and vivid, which made Mo Ziming hear another strange and anecdote.

This man's name is Cheng Meng. He once worked as an escort in a small escort business. Later, the escort business went bankrupt and came to a wealthy family as a guard.

This family's surname is Ma, and the head of the household is Ma Dagui, which is a wealthy countryside land wealth.
