joy town gl

There is a small door behind the wine cabinet of Huanxi Inn. From this door, through a corridor, there is a large single-door house with a small courtyard. In the courtyard, there is a small pond. The water is dotted with a lotus leaf and two clusters of mulberry grass. Gold one red two carp.A small piece of emerald bamboo is planted in the southwest corner of the courtyard. The roots are strong and high, and they are very lively. The small courtyard is clean and tidy, which is quite poetic and elegant.There is a big house in the courtyard, facing north and south, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, this place is Hong Xier's boudoir.

"Do you believe what she said?"

Wang Qi sat on the low stool in Hong Xi'er's room, twirling the white porcelain tea cover in front of him, pondering, "I don't think she's a bad person, and what she says is reasonable and doesn't seem like a lie."

Hong Xier: "She said it was because her sister was kidnapped by the powerful and came to her door to beg for her. In a fit of anger, she hurt the powerful lord and set fire to his house, but she herself is a woman, and the wanted criminal looks like you and I can see it." After that, it's a man and a woman."

"So I guess she was actually taken away by the rich and powerful, and her brother took the lead for her. As a result, her brother also suffered an accident, so she came to us. Such things do often happen outside. Those rich and powerful lords have How many are good? They only treat the daughters of poor families as goods and playthings.” The more he spoke, the more hateful Wang Qi’s tone became, and finally he slapped the lid of the cup on the table without saying a word.

Seeing this, Hong Xi'er sighed inwardly, lifted the pot to pour tea into the cup, and pushed it in front of her again.Although she couldn't find any reason not to believe it, she just felt that there was something strange, "But at that time, the treasurer Li said it was so serious, the sky was full of holes, and the town was inspected and inspected. How could it be so simple?" Trifles?"

Wang Qi scratched his head after hearing this, and guessed: "It is very possible for the truth to be exaggerated. Besides, where has any major event happened in our town, maybe it is true in their eyes. It's a matter of heaven, I think at most it's just the status of the dignitaries they offended."

After hearing this, Hong Xi'er pondered for a moment, then said: "Well, in two days' time, we will invite the head catcher to have a drink, and ask around what's going on. If it's really what she said, then I'm so busy. We still have to help."

"And what if the truth is not what she says it is?"

Taking a deep breath, Hong Xier buckled the tea cover in her hand, "Then we can't cover up the bad guys." But after she finished speaking, she paused, and then added: "The picture is born from the heart, her eyes are clear, and she swears that she She is frank and sincere even when she has done nothing wrong, and I don't think she is a bad person when I look at it."

Wang Qi nodded after listening, she actually didn't look like a bad person at Lu Tangyi.

"Succeed, I think the rumors of people being arrested have subsided recently. I'll go get someone in two days."

They had a discussion on this side, but as soon as the afternoon turned around, Fu Butou came to the door by himself.

"Shopkeeper Hong, is Shopkeeper Hong here?"

Wang Qi was greeting customers in the store, seeing him coming, hurried to greet him, cupped his hands and said, "Oh my lord, what wind brought you here?"

Headhunter Fu's surname is Fu, but he is a real headhunter, but because of this surname, those who don't know him always think he is a headhunter.The winking people began to call him Mr. Fu in private, and he was happy to hear that, and the title naturally spread.

"Brother Qi, is your shopkeeper there? I have something to do with her."

"Come on, you and your brothers have some tea first, and I'll call you."

Hong Xi'er had just woken up from a nap when she heard noises in the corridor. Before Wang Qi called, she came out to greet her.

"From all the way, I heard that Mr. Fu is here. What can we eat and drink? I'll ask someone to prepare it."

When Catcher Fu saw Hong Xier's smile deepened, he waved his hand and said, "I won't eat, I'm here on business today. You know that the town is arresting prisoners recently, and now the superiors are asking people to search people from house to house. You have to take someone around here."

Hong Xi'er's heart tightened when she heard the words, but she said with a smile on her face: "I know, just look, we're absolutely fine."

Fu Butou nodded, and greeted his subordinates: "You go upstairs, you go to the backyard, be careful, don't let people break things."

The two policemen led the order to go separately, Hong Xier turned around and gave Wang Qi a wink, the latter knew how to go to the kitchen by pretext of serving the guests.

Hong Xi'er brought two plates of fruit from the cabinet, and put them in front of Butcher Fu, "Master Fu, did the black-clothed swordsman that you gang hunted down last time commit crimes too?"

Catcher Fu was peeling peanuts in his hand, and looked up at Hong Xier, "He, I get angry when I mention it!"

"what happened?"

"Injured several officials sent by the above, and ran out of the town. Why am I here today? It's because almost all the gang sent by the above went after him." Speaking of this, Fu Butou suddenly lowered his voice and said: "The superior suspects that he is the accomplice of that group of prisoners!"

The gang of criminals?

Hong Xi'er followed in a low voice: "What did this group of prisoners do? It made the people in the town panic. My business has been so poor these days, and I almost lost even a single customer."

The action of peeling the peanuts stopped, Fu Butou straightened his expression, "Don't inquire about what you shouldn't."

Hong Xi'er hurriedly covered her mouth with a fan, Fu Butou cleared her throat and glanced around, then said in a low voice: "Actually, the higher-ups didn't say what happened, they just said that this prisoner is very important. If you want to see people die, you need to see corpses!"

As soon as he said this, the police officer who had just gone to search in the backyard shouted: "Captain Fu, there are people here!"

Hong Xi'er shook her hand holding the fan, and was about to speak, when Butcher Fu put down the peanut knife in his hand and ran to the backyard.

"Futou, there are four people here!"

Catcher Fu went to the backyard and saw Wang Qi, he immediately gave the cop behind him a quick look, and wanted to say that you are new here, don't you know this guy from just now?But after thinking about it, this policeman was indeed a new recruit, so he shut up again.Sweeping his gaze again, he saw a stranger standing behind Yu Hanshi. He stepped closer and pulled the person away for a look, and it turned out to be an unfamiliar face.

"I said, who are you?"

Hong Xier, who came out after him, opened the door and saw this scene, held her breath and froze on the spot.

Lu Tangyi, who was named, already knew what happened. She was trying to hide outside but was blocked by guards at the door.At this time, seeing this official-looking man pointing at him, Lu Tang suppressed the panic in his heart, cleared his throat and adjusted his voice: "Did the official say me?"

"Yes, it's you. I've never seen you before. Who are you? Where do you live? When did you come to our town? And why did you appear in the Huanxi Inn?"

After he finished speaking in one breath, he asked Lu Tang directly on the spot, and when he was calmly waiting to talk nonsense, he suddenly heard Hong Xier at the door answering: "He is my cousin. His family suffered a disaster and his parents died. , That's why you came to me not far away."

Catcher Fu frowned after hearing this, thought for a while and said, "I remember you only have one cousin and two cousins? Why have I never heard that you have any other cousins?"

"Hey, who doesn't have any distant relatives? Her mother is my mother's cousin. She originally wanted to join my grandfather, but my grandfather has long since passed away, and the family is not prosperous. Come and join me."

After Hong Xier finished speaking, Lu Tangyi stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "I'm here, Lu Tangyi, I've met Bubutou Fu." As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Qi beside him poked her arm, with a moderate voice Reminded: "Call Master Fu."

As soon as Lu Tang heard this, he quickly changed his words: "I have met Mr. Fu."

Fu Butou coughed twice, smashed his mouth, and then nodded.

"How old are you? Where are you from?"

Lu Tang opened his mouth and looked at Hong Xier who was facing him. The two looked at each other. Hong Xier stepped forward and said for her, "She is seventeen this year, and she is from Suizhou."

"Tsk!" Catcher Fu curled his lips, and Hong Xi'er said with a smile: "My cousin is also stupid to be honest, and he has never seen anything in the world. Don't be surprised by Mr. Fu."

After hearing this, Catcher Fu didn't say any more, but looked at Lu Tang carefully and said: "It looks quite clever."

"This is the first time for her to go out and see the official again. She is afraid of strangers."

Catcher Fu smiled, glanced at Lu Tangyi, turned around and left the backyard, "Master Hong, you really care about this cousin."

Embarrassment flashed across Hong Xi'er's face at first, she heard what the other party meant, so she could only pretend not to know, sighed lightly, and then showed a somewhat miserable expression, "Oh, you know, Mr. Fu, that this inn has passed on to me. It’s been three generations, and although I have the intention to do well, it’s still inconvenient to be a woman, and my family doesn’t have a brother to support me, so it just so happens that my cousin is here this time, so he can help me.”

Fu Butou also sighed when he heard the words, then nodded and said no more.The policeman who searched the upstairs guest room was already waiting in the lobby, when he saw him coming, he cupped his fists and said, "Boss, there is no one upstairs."

"Okay, I got it, let's get out." The group of three walked to the gate, Fu Butou said to Hong Xi'er: "That's it, don't send it away, the whole town has been searched in the past two days, and this matter is almost over. Then your business can resume as usual.”

Hong Xi'er took the two jars of wine from Wang Qi and stuffed them into his hands, "Why don't you thank Mrs. Fu for your care, everyone has worked hard these days, please show your kindness."

Then Mr. Fu was not polite, and took it with a smile: "It's easy to talk about, it's the responsibility, it's all what it should be, let's go."

"Come often when you are free."

Hong Xier breathed a sigh of relief after watching the people go away, and turned her head to see Lu Tangyi leaning against the wall, wearing the toga that she wore when she came here, like a tender bamboo growing in the wind, as if A gust of wind could knock her down anytime, anywhere, and she still looked at her with big eyes, like a wounded innocent little elk.

Ugh.

Hong Xier sighed from the bottom of her heart, she was naturally soft-hearted and the most shameful, especially if she was like Lu Tangyi, it was very distressing to watch.

"Brother Qi, find her two suitable clothes to wear."

Wang Qi was also sweating from fright. He was taken aback when he heard this order, then turned his head to look at Lu Tangyi, and then replied, "Oh, good." As soon as she answered, Hong Xier said again: " Forget it, no need." She said, beckoning to Lu Tang by the wall.

"Tang Yi, follow me."
