The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 989

[Chapter 989 Black House]

The carriage was driving on the road, which was not as bumpy as expected.

Maybe it was the people from the Mechanical Academy who made some improvements to Fang Xiu’s carriage.

Although it is far inferior to the car in the previous life, in this world, it is probably much more comfortable than the emperor’s chariot.

Nothing happened along the way.

Fang Xiuer and Xiuer would play chess or cards on the carriage.

Kill some time.

Before I knew it, two days had passed.

The carriage finally set foot on the land of Jinzhou Prefecture.

Xiu’er was warming the wine.

Fang Xiu sat by the window, opened the curtains and took a look outside.

At a glance, there are all dry trees, and the ground is covered with withered yellow leaves. Not far away, you can see a wild deer standing on the spot, staring at the carriage.

Fang Xiu also looked at it.

After looking at each other for a long time, the wild deer looked away and ran away in a bound.

I have to say that this place is quite remote.

Winter is coming soon, and everything seems to be getting more and more lonely.

Fang Xiu withdrew his gaze, filled with emotions in his heart.

Before the spring of next year, the affairs of the new army must be settled.

“Master, your wine has warmed up. It’s plum wine.”

Xiu’er poured a glass of wine for Fang Xiu.

Fang Xiu nodded, picked up the wine glass, and took a sip.

The taste of the wine is not strong, with the sweet and sour taste of green plums.

Fang Xiu handed the wine glass to Xiu’er and said with a smile: “It’s quite delicious. Try it.”

Xiu’er’s delicate face turned red. After a moment of hesitation, she took the wine glass and took a sip. He whispered: “It tastes really good.”

After the words fell, Fang Xiu hadn’t spoken yet, and the carriage suddenly jolted.

Fang Xiu frowned and immediately realized that something was wrong.

The driver of this carriage has never been so reckless in his journey.

He was about to ask.

The driver hurriedly said: “Master, some officers and soldiers appeared in front. I didn’t see the young one just now and almost bumped into him. He deserves to die.”

Officers and soldiers?

How come there are officers and soldiers in this remote place?

Fang Xiu’s face showed curiosity, he opened the curtains and looked out the window.

Sure enough, as the coachman said, a group of officers and soldiers appeared outside, about twenty people, all wearing the original old-style armor. If nothing else, they should be the defenders of Jinzhou Prefecture.

But he didn’t know why the defenders of Jinzhou Prefecture appeared in this place.

Fang Xiuzheng was curious.

Then I saw that these officers and soldiers seemed to be escorting some people.

These people were all in rags and their clothes were in tatters.

And they are all mainly young people.

The officers and soldiers put shackles on them and led them forward.

Such a scene can be guessed.

These guys must be bandits!

I just didn’t expect that there would be bandits in Jinzhou Prefecture now.

It would be fine if there were bandits on the Liangchuan Road or the Southwest Road.

There was nothing we could do about it, because it was too far away from Kyoto Prefecture.

As the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

Those places were too far away from Kyoto Prefecture, and Fang Xiu couldn’t control them.

Many of the rules set by the imperial court could not be conveyed there.

Even if it is spread there, it is difficult to be implemented.

However, this Jinzhou Prefecture is different.

Jinzhou Prefecture is said to be not close to Kyoto Prefecture, but in fact it is only two days away.

If we hurry, it will be there in one day.

There are actually bandits here?

Fang Xiu’s face showed a look of thinking.

At this moment, when a young bandit passed by the carriage, he suddenly broke out!

He suddenly broke free from the shackles, jumped over the guards around the carriage, and rushed straight towards Fang Xiu!

Fang Xiu’s bodyguard is naturally not a low-income person.

The reaction was very fast, and the next second he drew his own saber and saber.

With the sword raised and lowered, I will cut him off!

At this time, Fang Xiu saw the man’s eyes.

He had seen such a look of

perseverance and determination before.

It’s in the mirror, it’s his own eyes.

He knew that a person with such eyes would never be a bandit.

Why did he suddenly attack him?

Was he ordered by someone?

Or is it just a pure coincidence?

For some reason, Fang Xiu was suddenly curious, so he ordered: “Catch them alive.”

These three simple words made the guards immediately retract their swords and all come forward with their bare hands.

The man still wanted to resist.

But facing these second-rate or even first-rate masters, how could he have the capital to resist?

It only took a moment for him to be subdued and pinned to the ground.

This thing happened too suddenly.

Even the man’s accomplices and officers and soldiers did not react.

At this moment, the officers and soldiers finally came to their senses, hurriedly stepped forward, and said cautiously: “Sir, our supervision was not good, which gave this dog thief a chance to get angry, and almost hurt you. I am really sorry!

” Jian actually seemed to know Fang Xiu’s identity.

Fang Xiu opened the curtain, glanced at him, and asked curiously: “Do you know who I am?”

The leading officer and soldier said hurriedly: “I don’t know, I know, but I know that these guards of yours are all second-rate experts, even There are several people who are top-notch masters. I also know that carriages like yours are only available in Kyoto Prefecture.

I also know that people who can have such guards in Kyoto Prefecture must be big shots! So I call you my

lord

.”

, if nothing else, he is really capable of observing words and expressions.

In just ten seconds, so much can be analyzed.

Fang Xiu nodded, looked at the officers and soldiers, and then at the bandits behind them, and asked curiously: “What are you doing? Who are these people?”

The leading officer and soldier said hurriedly: “My lord, my humble position is that of a chief of Jinzhou Prefecture. I am responsible for escorting these escaped gangsters back to Jinzhou Prefecture.”

Fang Xiu guessed correctly, these guys are indeed from Jinzhou Prefecture.

But, what is a black household?

This was the first time he heard of it.

I have to say that the leading officers and soldiers are indeed a bit discerning.

Before Fang Xiu asked, he explained in advance: “Sir, you are from Kyoto Prefecture. There are many things in Jinzhou Prefecture that I am afraid you don’t know or understand.

I can explain this to you. Naturally speaking, black households are people who are not registered. Generally speaking, after being caught, they will be released after their place of residence is compiled.

But these people are different. They are stationed soldiers. According to the rules, they cannot leave their station. .

But they wanted to change their names and leave here, pretending to be normal gangsters. After being found out by Beizhi, they wanted to escape.

“

These words went back and forth .

, just want to take credit for myself.

Fang Xiu didn’t care, because all his attention was focused on these two words.

“Garrisoning troops?”
