Riding a chopping horse and stepping into the world

Chapter 45
Zhang Tie and the others were going to the Dacheng Canal, so they had to go back, pass through the main street, and go out through the south gate.

I have already gone to the examination room, so naturally I don’t need to hurry later, I will stop and go on the street along the way, and I will stop when I see novel things.

Passing by a rattle drum, Zhang Shun picked up a colorful rattle drum and shook it. The two small balls of the rattle drum hit the tympanic membrane and made a thumping sound.

After playing with it for a while, Zhang Shun said to the stall owner: "Boss, how much does this cost?"

The boss is a real person, and he immediately revealed the price.

"10 copper coins."

Zhang Shun didn't hesitate, took out the money, and paid the bill. Zhang Ties went out this time, and specially got some copper coins and silver coins with them.

Zhang Shun suddenly saw the rattle and thought of his little sister at home, so he bought it for her.

Others are also wandering around, anyway, as long as they are not too separated, both men and women have shopping instincts.

Zhang Tie watched all this behind Zhang Shun, with his hands behind his back, and thought to himself: "My brother still loves my little sister, but he is a bit quiet and only knows how to read all day long."

At this moment, a noisy sound came from not far away.

"Stop, don't run!"

Several detectives wearing leather armor were chasing one person with knives. The person being chased was only wearing ordinary clothes and looked panicked. He was holding a dagger in his hand and was waving it while shouting: "Let's go." Go! Get out of the way!"

Pedestrians on the street hurriedly moved out of the way, for fear that they would be accidentally stabbed.

Seeing the person running towards him, Zhang Tie always felt familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere. He couldn't remember it for a moment, but he slowly moved towards the center of the street, preparing to intercept this person and catch him quickly. , there must be a reason.

Soon the visitor will be in front of Zhang Tie. Before Zhang Tie can make a move, a figure jumps out in front of him, and accurately grabs the hand of the visitor holding the dagger. From behind, he kicked the visitor at the crook of his foot, and directly pushed him to his knees on the ground.

The figure was none other than Liu Yi, a scholar from Xinjian County. The man captured by Liu was still struggling to break away from Liu Yi, but unfortunately he was unable to exert much strength due to his position.

Liu Yi was accompanied by his bodyguard Zhang Long, but at this time Zhang Long stood with his hands on his shoulders and watched the show. He seemed to be very relieved about the person he wanted to protect, but his eyes were fixed on the person being captured.

Liu Yi pressed the visitor firmly, not letting him move, and said, "Don't move! Be honest!"

Zhang Tie was a little surprised by Liu Yi's smooth movements. He hurriedly stepped forward and said to himself: "I didn't expect this scholar to have two more moves. I really couldn't tell."

At this time, several arresting officers who were chasing behind finally ran over, and seeing the person being captured, they all bent over and panted heavily.

The catchers first nodded to Liu Yi, and one said, "At Xiawanshan, thank you for the help of this strong man, to catch this assassin."

At this time, Liu Yi was using his hands and feet on the assassin, so he couldn't do other actions, so he could only turn his head and said to the arrester Wan Shan: "You are welcome, as a citizen of Yan Kingdom, I can do my best to catch this assassin. It's a matter of course"

"Assassin!" Zhang Tie at the side heard these two words and thought of yesterday's assassination incident. He stared at the face of the captured man and said to himself, "This man looks like that fortune teller!"

Zhang Tie had a deep impression of the fortune-telling assassin. After all, he had provided two good things to someone, so his memory was still fresh!

The arrested assassin was the brother of the fortune-telling assassin. The leader of the assassins underestimated the Yan people, and he would not have thought that everyone killed by Zhang Tie was a person of unknown origin to Beicheng. What he did, he also determined that the people who were killed were assassins.

Then look for clues from these dead people, and eliminate them one by one based on the people they usually contact, and quickly lock down several accomplices.

The detectives had already caught some assassins and let them underestimate these assassins. When they caught this assassin, they were noticed and ran away until now.

Several policemen tied up the assassin with a rope, and one of them cursed: "You son of a bitch, you run so fast, you should run again!"

It seemed that he was really tired, and when such a thing happened, other assassins would definitely notice it, lurk or escape.

The detectives still brought the assassin back to the state capital, greeted Liu Yi, and pushed the assassin away.

Looking Liu Yi up and down, Zhang Tie turned his eyes, stepped forward and patted Liu Yien's shoulder hard, only making Liu Yi one body shorter.

Zhang Tie secretly said: "I don't have much strength, but my body is a bit strong. Judging from the situation just now, I am afraid that I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child."

While laughing, Zhang Tiexi said: "Brother Liu is really hiding something, I don't know where the teacher came from."

Liu Yi rubbed the shoulder that Zhang Tie had patted, gritted his teeth in pain, looked at Zhang Tie helplessly, and said, "Brother Zhang said, I didn't say that I don't know martial arts."

"Also, I'm not from a sect, I'm all family martial arts."

Zhang Tie looked embarrassed, but it was only then that he remembered that Liu Yi really didn't say that he knew kung fu.

He smiled awkwardly, quickly changed the subject, and said, "Brother Liu's martial arts skills are quite impressive. He subdued the assassin with just one hand."

Several other people have been nearby, and now they are all surrounded. Luo Long just heard this sentence, and he also saw it when Liu Yi captured the assassin earlier.

Hearing Zhang Tie's words at this time, he agreed: "That's right, look at that smooth movement, this skill is better than mine!"

Liu Yi quickly waved his hand and said, "Where is it? It's so-so. Let's go directly to see the Dacheng Canal."

Seeing that Liu Yi didn't want to say more, Zhang Tie and others didn't ask any more questions, and the group continued on their way.

On the way, Luo Long approached Zhang Tie and asked in a low voice: "I just vaguely heard what the policeman said about the visitor. Is he an assassin?"

"Well, yes."

After receiving Zhang Tie's answer, Luo Long showed a strange expression, touched his chin, and muttered to himself: "Strange, why is the efficiency so high this time, and it took less than a day to find the assassin?!"

Zhang Tie's ears are very good, and Luo Long heard all of Luo Long's whispers to himself, but he also found it strange.

The sun is high in the sky, and it is not very hot in the June season.

Matou in Beicheng ushered in a merchant ship from Tongzhou. Tongzhou is the territory of Zhao State. In the past, during the war, there were merchants doing business. Now that it has entered the peace period, there are more people doing business.

At this time, in the attic of the merchant ship, a person stood in front of the window, looking at the Beicheng Wharf.

This person is about 35 years old, with a suave and suave appearance. He is the boss of a salt merchant in Tongzhou.

People cannot do without salt. Eating too little salt will cause the sodium content in the body to be too low, resulting in loss of appetite, weakness in limbs, dizziness, etc.;
In severe cases, symptoms such as anorexia, nausea, vomiting, accelerated heart rate, weak pulse, muscle spasms, blurred vision, and weakened reflexes may also occur, and even death may occur.

However, most of the salt is controlled by the government. Ordinary people are not allowed to sell salt. However, this salt merchant owner from Tongzhou has a license in Zhao State. This time he mainly came to buy salt, not sell salt.
