Golden Knife 17 years

Hu Laobao was thrown on the blue brick floor of the main room in the front yard, and screamed when he fell.

"My lord! You can't arrest people randomly!"

Hu Laobao lay on the ground and howled dryly. As he howled, he saw a pair of black boots stop in front of him. When he looked up, it was indeed Zhou Shen.Hu Laobao's voice gradually faded, Zhou Shen asked him to lie on his stomach, and whispered something in Zhou Cong's ear, Zhou Cong went out to make arrangements, but he turned around and sat down on the chair without looking at Hu Laobao.

The more Zhou Shen remained silent, the more frightened Hu Laobao felt.

"My... my lord, I don't know why you called Caomin here?"

Zhou Shen threw Zhou Cong's copper whistle in front of him: "Tell me, have you seen this whistle?" Hu Laobao lowered his head and rolled his eyes, and whispered: "No, that adult misunderstood, I just took a second look at the whistle because it looked expensive and beautiful."

After a while Zhou Cong came in again and gave Zhou Shen what he was holding.

Zhou Shen threw the things in front of Hu Laobao, "I frightened him, when Hu Laobao looked up, the expression on his face faded away with a slap.

Zhou Shen stared at the box on the ground and asked him, "You sit in the tavern and look at that tree every day, are you afraid that it will be dug up?"

Hu Laobao was sweating profusely, he didn't dare to look at the things on the ground, so he turned his head away.

"Zhang Shaoan, are you familiar with this name?" Zhou Cong brought Zhou Shen a cup of hot tea. Zhou Shen took a sip, then looked at Hu Laobao and said, "Nineteen years ago, there was a court official in the Golden Pavilion. While escorting the family members, a sentry guard raped the two ladies of the family. After the sentry guard was arrested, he was locked up in the West Tea House and waited for trial, but he shrank and escaped while the West Tea House was changing guards. There is no news. I didn't expect to see you again here, it can be regarded as a fate between you and me."

As if struck by lightning, Mr. Hu said after a while, "I'm not... I'm from Meicheng... I don't know what you're talking about..."

Taking advantage of his distraction, Zhou Cong stepped forward and grabbed his arm, took out a dagger and wiped it at his throat. Hu Laobao's arm bent down at an incredible angle and slipped out of Zhou Cong's hand. Sinking down, the upper body of the whole person collapsed, avoiding the dagger in his hand.Zhou Shen clapped his hands twice: "Wonderful, wonderful Zhang Shaoan, it seems that his kung fu is still the same as before. What else do you have to say now?"

Hu Laobao came back to his senses, sweating with remorse, and finally knelt down to Zhou Shen with a plop: "My lord, I have nothing to say, I just ask you to give me a good time."

He was from the Golden Pavilion, knowing that if a defector from the Golden Pavilion is caught again, he will be subjected to all the tortures in the Golden Pavilion, and if he dies in the end, he will be ashamed.

Zhou Shen drank his tea, watched Zhang Shaoan's pale face changing constantly, and finally fell to the ground like dead ashes, and then said: "I want to admire you at first, and I don't show any lies. If it weren't for you Qin Qin came to find news of us selling Cicada, and I was almost tricked by you."

Zhang Shaoan suddenly raised his head: "How could it be...?"

Zhou Shen looked at him: "You were born in the Golden Pavilion, and you were the most promising sentry guard back then. If you weren't greedy, I'm afraid the leader of the Golden Pavilion today is also yours. Such a young talent is forced to hide his name and pretend to be An alcoholic who has stayed in this small county for nearly 20 years, has nothing to do by himself, and all he can do is what he likes to do. Your strongest Zhang Shaoan is not shrinking bones and martial arts, but collecting tips and breaking into houses Lurking, the former, you are an informant dealer in Meicheng County, I was looking for you on the first day I came here, the latter, when we went to get him, there was no dust on the beams, but there was a small piece of fine hair on the door. The broken thread..."

"Stop talking, I believe..."

Zhang Shaoan fell on the ground, regretting infinitely in his heart, what Zhou Shen said was right, he was indeed negligent, and he still had the habit of sneaking into the courtyard of Cicada and tied a stick to the gate of the courtyard. An extremely thin thread, this thread is attached to his little finger, if you move it, someone will come.Back then in the Golden Pavilion, he was called Spider Silk Zhang because he used the thinnest silk and had the best kung fu, but he never expected to be defeated by this spider silk in the end.

"The villain knows the crime, but it is up to the adults."

Zhang Shaoan bowed down to Zhou Shen, sighing in his heart that Zhou Kun had successors, Zhou Shen was younger than his father, but more powerful, and more ruthless than Zhou Kun, he had nothing to say when he was defeated by this man.

"It's not about getting lost." Zhou Shen stood up and walked in front of Zhang Shaoan: "There are a few things that you need to contribute to. If you do it well, I will write off yesterday's matter and you can still be your fool." Old Bao, I pretend I have never met Zhang Shaoan."

Hearing this sentence, Zhang Shaoan's heart was suddenly turbulent, and he looked at Zhou Shen with trembling lips: "Commander Zhou is willing to swear by a golden sword?"

Zhou Shen stretched out his right hand, rolled up his sleeve, revealing two lines of complicated writing on his wrist, pointed to the sky with two fingers, and said, "Zhou Shen swears, if there is any falsehood, a golden sword will be added to his body." Without further ado, Zhang Shaoan rolled up his sleeve and tore off the sticker The fake leather on his wrist also revealed two lines of identical words. He knelt on the ground and swore to Zhou Shen: "From now on, I, Zhang Shao'an, will be the Commander. If you have something to say, I will never give up. add body."

In the Golden Pavilion there is a golden-scale mother knife, the mother knife is named Duanchen, and the child knife has nine handles, each corresponding to nine parts of a person's body. In the end, I cut off the dust with my mother knife, and my soul flew away.

Therefore, the people in the Golden Pavilion swear by golden swords are the most poisonous.

Since Zhou Shen and him swore with a golden knife, they didn't talk nonsense now, and pointed to the copper whistle on the ground and asked him, "Have you seen this whistle before?"

Zhang Shao'an replied seriously: "Responding to my lord's words, Caomin has seen it. Three years ago at the East Wharf of Jinyang Lake, Bao Sanmei, the boat mother, picked up a whistle on the boat. Caomin was there when she took it to the pawnshop, so she still picked it up." I glanced at it with my hand, because the pattern is special, so I remember it very clearly."

Zhou Shen's face was calm, but the hands behind his back were already clenched tightly: "What does that whistle look like?" Zhang Shao'an replied truthfully: "The ebony whistle is inlaid with silver, and there are eight gold flowers inlaid all over it. One of the patterns is this whistle." The pattern on the sir's whistle, there are a few gold flowers, it seems to be an umbrella and a tree, and the rest, the little ones didn't see it clearly."

Zhou Shen shook his body, his mouth was full of fishy sweetness, and his teeth had bitten the flesh of his lower lip.

Zhou Shen hoarsely asked him, "Then Bao Sanmei pawned the whistle?"

Zhang Shaoan shook his head: "The pawn shop said that the whistle was made of ebony, it was worthless, and the gold was scarce, so they only paid one or two taels of silver. Sanmei Bao thought it was too little, and she also liked the delicate whistle, so she said that it would be her dowry in the future."

Zhou Shen gritted his teeth and asked, "Where is Sanmei Bao?"

"I was married a year ago, to Liu Meng from the bun shop in the west of the city..." Before Zhang Shaoan finished speaking, he felt a gust of wind, and Zhou Shen had strode out.

Bao Sanmei, who should be called Lady Liu now, is dozing off at the door of the steamed bun shop. live.

Mrs. Liu was very sleepy. She was sitting behind the steamer with her son in her arms. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard the sound of footsteps approaching from afar. Mrs. Liu woke up with a start. When she looked up, she saw a group of people wearing black cloaks. Surrounding the steamed stuffed bun shop of her house.Lady Liu hugged her son tightly and started to tremble when she heard the man in the lead ask, "Where's that whistle you picked up?"

Lady Liu boldly glanced at him. This man is really handsome, but he looks scary, his eyes look like he wants to eat people.The man asked again, but Mrs. Liu was still only looking at him. The man waved his hand with a sullen face, and the group of people entered her house in an instant, only to hear a chaotic noise, and countless things were thrown from the room. Pillow children diapers, and heard the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets and chopping wood. It probably couldn't be opened, so it was split open. After a while, a boy in black came out with something and showed it to the leading man.

She was dumbfounded, looking at the mess in the yard, she hugged the child and started crying and cursing. While she was cursing, someone lifted her up. When she raised her head, she was facing the boy who was holding the thing in his hand and asked her: " Where did this come from?"

Mrs. Liu looked at that thing, it was the whistle. Seeing that she didn't speak again, the man yelled at her, "Say it quickly!" Seeing the murderous look in his eyes, Mrs. Liu trembled, and finally choked out a sentence: "On the boat, I picked it up on the boat!" Then he hugged the child tightly and cried loudly.

Zhou Shen patted Zhou Cong on the shoulder: "Put her down and let her talk."

Zhou Cong put Mrs. Liu down, and Mrs. Liu's legs were weak and she couldn't get up on the ground. Zhou Shen squatted down and asked her, "How did you get this whistle on the boat?"

Lady Liu was terrified a long time ago, she trembled and said, "It's been several years..."

At that time, Mrs. Liu was still Bao Sanmei. Her parents died early, and she supported the fishing boat her father left behind to beg for a living by the river. She was tall and thick, and she was an orphan. In order to save more money for her dowry, she sometimes escorts people across the river.

That night she had already fallen asleep, and was called up again. She opened the door and saw that it was an old man and a girl. I came to Meicheng to see it when I was sick, and I didn’t see it well. I was going to visit Yongzhou next door overnight.

On the way, she secretly looked at the girl, she was really nice, although her face was pale, but her eyes, eyebrows and mouth were beautiful, she was born like a fairy, which made her peek while rocking the boat.After shaking for an hour, when she arrived at Rongcheng on the border of Yongzhou, she asked the old man to collect the money, and the old man took the girl away after giving the money.She kept staring at the girl, and clearly saw that when the girl got off the boat, she seemed to faint, her hand dropped, and something fell out of her palm.

"It's the whistle. At that time, I saw that she was good-looking, but I didn't expect to have a scar on her hand. It's a pity to have such a white hand." Mrs. Liu sighed while talking: "I don't know what disease the girl has. Look at it. It doesn't look like a human being at all..."

"What kind of scar?"

Zhou Shen heard that his voice was extremely hoarse, and he had to exert all his strength to suppress his trembling hands and hold the small whistle.

Lady Liu thought for a while, then raised her head and said to him, "It's a tooth mark."

The group of people was as fast as when they came, and they left as soon as they said they were leaving. Mrs. Liu was holding the child and holding an ingot of gold in her hand. She couldn't believe that even a whistle that the pawnshop didn't want could be exchanged for so much gold. It seems that although the man is good-looking, he is a fool.

Zhou Cong looked worriedly at the back of Zhou Shen riding on the horse. In the snowstorm, his master didn't wear a hood, but opened his cloak, and soon piled up snow all over his head. When they arrived at the gate of the small courtyard where they were temporarily staying, he Seeing his master staggering, he fell headfirst from the horse.

Zhou Shen heard people walking back and forth around him, heard Zhou Cong yelling for a doctor, heard someone asking Zhou Cong for instructions that the boss of Jiuzhenfang and that nobleman had been arrested, and heard Zhou Cong beat Zhang Shaoan and asked if he was right? He hurt himself, and when he finally fell into a coma, he heard Zhong Xianchen's voice: "What is this?"

"Whistle." Zhou Shen said with a red face.

"What did you give me the whistle for? Didn't I have a small comb?" Zhong Xianchen looked at the whistle, "It's not broken, I don't need it."

Zhou Shen stretched out his hand: "Show me that."

Zhong Xianchen gave him the whistle hanging on his waist, Zhou Shen took it with all his strength, and broke it with a bang: "It's gone now, you use what I gave you." Zhou Shen looked at him seriously and said: " What a broken whistle she gave, it doesn't sound at all, it almost killed you last time, use mine, I can blow it loud." Zhong Xianchen grabbed his hand, cut his hand after the copper whistle broke, and sure enough Zhou Shen A small gash was cut on his hand, and blood was pouring out.Zhong Xianchen became angry: "Zhou Shen, have you disliked me lately? If you don't like it, just tell me, how many things have you broken?"

Zhou Shen also got angry, and withdrew his hand and stared at him: "The things Xiaoshu gave you are really good, aren't you? How many things have you got on your body in the past six months? What's the matter, do you dislike the things our Zhou family gave you?"

Zhong Xianchen stared at him angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Zhou Shen and him stared at each other for a while, then turned around and left without looking back, and Zhong Xianchen called him from behind, but he ignored him.

Zhong Xianchen was baffled by him, so he picked up the whistle he gave him and looked at it. It was also a copper whistle, but there were some patterns on it, and it was very ugly. It looked like it was carved by Zhou Shen himself.Zhong Xianchen rubbed the pattern on the whistle, and chased after him dumbfounded: "Hey, wait for me to go together!"

Zhou Shen actually walked very slowly in front, and when he heard the sound of Zhong Xianchen catching up, he couldn't help laughing, and immediately tensed his face, and hurried to walk faster, so that Zhong Xianchen could not catch up.When Zhong Xianchen walked fast, he walked fast, and when Zhong Xianchen walked slow, he walked slowly. He always made him unable to catch up, and Zhong Xianchen was so angry that he jumped behind.

In fact, at that time, he should wait for him and go together.

Two years later, they still entered the Golden Pavilion Captain's Mansion.

Zhou Shen was able to fight against his father, but not his mother. When his mother heard that he was going to join the army, she was frightened out of her wits, and when Zhou Kun said that he had entered the Golden Pavilion, she arranged them both in the capital. When he went out, he only worked as a clerk and not as a white wolf sentry, so his mother cried to him every day, and finally went on a hunger strike.

Zhou Shen reluctantly entered the Golden Pavilion, but Zhong Xianchen was a little happy. He had lost his parents since he was a child, and the Golden Pavilion was where his father stayed. He always felt that being able to enter the Golden Pavilion would bring him closer to his father. a little bit.

After entering the Golden Pavilion, Zhou Shen found that his father was talking like farting. He was only a clerk and not a sentry. They were still trained by his father like two dogs. Although they did not have the title of sentry, they still had to learn from them Zhou Shen was very resentful, and couldn’t go home to sue his mother. Kun said that if there was any leak, he would immediately make him a lifelong imperial guard, and immediately betrothed him to marry the particularly ugly daughter of Wang Shangshu's family.

Zhou Shen didn't dare, so he could only continue to memorize the files as his father said, and was called by his father from time to time to watch the interrogation of prisoners. With the smell of blood and the screams all day long, I couldn't even eat.Sometimes when he came back late and Zhong Xianchen had already fallen asleep, he kicked off his shoes and climbed onto the bed. When his heart was churning, he would reach for Zhong Xianchen's hand. Even if Zhong Xianchen fell asleep, he would reach out and turn over to face him. sleep.

The 16-year-old Zhou Shen looked at Zhong Xianchen under the candlelight. This was the face he had seen for ten years. Two years ago, his mother divided them into two rooms. Just after the room division, Zhong Xianchen was scared out of his wits by Hu Lun. , had nightmares in the middle of the night, and didn't dare to tell Mrs. Zhou, so she could only hide in the room and shake, and then ran to the door of Zhou Shen's room when she couldn't stand it, and sat quietly without disturbing Zhou Shen's sleep.When Zhou Shen got up at night, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhong Xianchen sitting at the door and dozing off. He didn't say a word, picked Zhong Xianchen up and put him on the bed, covered him with a quilt and hugged him to sleep.Early the next morning Mrs. Zhou saw two children sleeping soundly hugging each other. When Zhou Kun knew about it, she said that she should not divide the room. Sleep with the old man in your arms.Mrs. Zhou moved them back. In the past two years, they had quarreled a lot, and sometimes they fought. Zhou Kun's father said to Mrs. Zhou, "What did I say? I won't be together in two years. .”

Mrs. Zhou still reserved a room for them. Sometimes when quarrels and fights became serious, one of Zhou Shen or Zhong Xianchen would always be ordered by Mrs. Zhou to go to the room to sleep alone, but the other one would always come back in the middle of the night, and sometimes continued to quarrel during the day. Sometimes they didn't finish the fight during the day, and the two fell asleep when they were tired of fighting. Mrs. Zhou had no choice but to let them go.

Zhou Shen reached out to touch Zhong Xianchen's face, they had quarreled over the past two years because of Xiao Shu, Xiao Shu had grown up suddenly in the past two years, she also suddenly had a little girlish thought, and stopped stealing fruit with them every time Instead, she wore her best clothes and tried to find a way to give Zhong Xianchen something.She likes Zhong Xianchen and pesters him every day. When the three of them are together, she tries to get Zhou Shenzhi away.Later, Xiao Shu secretly told Zhong Xianchen that although she is a princess, she yearns for a normal life, and that she is content to marry someone she likes.Zhong Xianchen didn't understand, so he came back and learned what Xiao Shu said from Zhou Shen, and even lamented to Zhou Shen that Xiao Shu didn't know if he could marry someone she liked.Zhou Shen understood as soon as he heard it, and his anger rose sharply, and he yelled at Zhong Xianchen: "Why are you joining in the fun, she can marry whoever she likes, what are you meddling in!"

Zhong Xianchen was puzzled and quarreled with him again.

Later, when he was sleeping at night, Zhou Shen heard that Zhong Xianchen had fallen asleep, so he opened his eyes and peeked at him. Zhong Xianchen had been clean since he was a child. look.He has slept with Zhong Xianchen for so many years. Every time Zhong Xianchen had a nightmare, he would tirelessly get up and pat him to sleep. This person was almost grown up by him. Could it be that after so many years, he still wants to watch Zhong Xianchen and others in the end? The women sleep together, waiting for that woman to have a nightmare, and he shoots the big Zhong Xianchen before he shoots other women?

No!

Later he broke off Zhong Xianchen's whistle, and when Xiao Shu saw it, he asked, "Brother Xianchen, where is the whistle I gave you?" Zhou Shen folded his hands, looked at her lazily and said, "I threw it away. , What a broken whistle, it can't blow at all."

Xiao Com started crying, Zhong Xianchen went to coax her again, Zhou Shen went back at night and fought with Zhong Xianchen again.

It's been two years of fighting like this, now he is 16 years old, he has come out from the wailing of those prisoners, from the blood and blood, he just wants to be by Zhong Xianchen's side, hold his hand, and let Zhong Xianchen While falling asleep, touching the scar he had bitten out, there was an inexplicable voice in my heart saying, "This is mine."
