Especially in the past few days, when guarding the city, I heard a lot of rumors, and many soldiers said that the nobles of the north were hanged in the prison, because the warden Xu Ning neglected his duty and committed adultery with the widow of the king who welcomed the guests, which caused the people to find a loophole, and also said that Master Ji went to the prison that day to detain Xu Ning in prison, and the truth is not known anyway, it is extremely evil.

As soon as I heard this, the old doorman did not dare to be lazy, the four days and nights of the guard, the eyes of the boss in the daytime did not dare to miss some people, at night in the city gate building spread the mattress on the spot, stunned to add a bed thick quilt, but the city gate building everywhere ventilation in the strict quilt can not block the cold wind that came in, so so the old doorman does not dare to relax, always want to sleep with one eye open, what is the wind and grass to move the armor do not inform themselves also have to take the initiative to go down to see, the old doorman is afraid to get old and then lose this black gauze hat, then the rest of his life will be bitter。

This is not just put into a light horse from Xiongzhou, said that there is a rush to three days to come, there are important official documents delivered to the Yin Yamen, the old doorman heard on the city tower and put on the official uniform to personally open the city gate for the light horseman, and did not forget to smile and say a word of hardship, checked the letter politely a few words, and looked at the light horse into the city before daring to go upstairs to continue to stay up in this cold night, the old doorman tightened the quilt, and was about to fall asleep in a daze, when he heard the soldiers who kept watch knock on the door, and shouted in a low voice outside the door: "The prefect is back." ”

When the old doorman heard that the sleepiness that had just sprung up dissipated instantly, he hurriedly put on his official clothes and stepped on his official boots, and staggered down the city gate.

-

A group of more than 20 rode outside the city gate waiting to open the door, led by the Hongyong Prefecture prefect known as the Shuo Rat Lu Zhen Lu Governor, Lu Zhifu was originally a scholar who cared very much about appearance, the long-distance run of six or seven days can be regarded as tossing Lu Zhifu half to death, the original miserable white face is now full of residual red beaten by the flying frost, the thin beard on the lips that was originally smooth is as messy as a weed, sneezing one after another, secretly scolding the eyeless people who defend the city, let the old man stand for so long, and also scolded the one-eared Tuoba Rock, this road is almost all wilderness, even six or seven nights are lived in the broken temple, and when he traveled, he did not bring a bedding, just lying on the ground, which is a cold word that can be said.

But this trip is also a good thing, there is really a small road under the mountain, although it is not spacious but there is no problem with the march, if it is also a hundred times stronger than the steep mountain, although Tuoba Rock is young but what he said is true, as long as he can find a place to hide soldiers in the city, his wolf lord can be regarded as a solid, his mother's Qianyuan Dynasty, the Tang court of the dog day, there are dog things without beads, Lao Tzu can appoint a small prefect in this way, Lao Tzu can serve as a six pavilion bachelor left and right servant shooting is more than enough, now the people of the north are said to be barbaric but know people to make good use of Lao Tzu's ability, and so Lao Tzu became the wolf lord to lead Xiongzhou, no, when Annan Town, The first one is going to cut off the Xiongzhou Thorn History, damn it, and the second one is going to find the woman who was taken away that day, and he must rub it well, play with it, and let the cold-looking sass-wave-goods beg for mercy tactfully.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhen felt a pride in his heart, but the pride only lasted for a moment before being blown away by the cold wind outside the city, and Lu Zhen itched the tip of his nose and sneezed out, scolding: "What the hell are you giving birth to in the city? ”

As soon as the city gate creaked open after scolding, the old Dong Yu, the gatekeeper, was full of panic and shouted: "Welcome to the master." ”

Governor Lu rode his horse to the city gate, and saw that the old doorman became more and more angry the more he thought about it, and suddenly raised a whip in his hand and threw it on the face of the doorman Dong Yu, and scolded: "The things of the dog's day, let this mansion wait for such a long time in the cold wind?"

The old doorman Dong Yu didn't have time to feel the hot pain on his face, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and begged for mercy in a trembling voice: "The villain deserves to die, the villain deserves to die." ”

"Damn? You should have died a long time ago. The prefect Lu Zhen's eyes were gloomy, and the scolding in his mouth continued, and the horsewhip in his hand was raised again and hit the back of the old doorman one after another, in order to express the suffering and unhappiness of this line.

At first, the old doorman could still stop with three or five whips, but this prefect Lu Zhen did not have the slightest intention of stopping, the old doorman couldn't stand the biting whip, rolled in the snow and wailed, and the soldiers on the side couldn't bear it, but no one dared to step forward to stop it.

After more than ten lashes, the doorman's wailing voice gradually weakened, and the bold young soldier on the side had the courage to beg for mercy for the doorman: "Master, this doorman can't stand it anymore." ”

When the prefect Lu Zhen saw that someone was begging for mercy for him, his eyes were like sharp knives, and he said fiercely: "Can't stand it? Then you can take it for him." ”

After saying that, the horse whip in the hand of the prefect Lu was about to be waved, and the young soldier didn't even dare to hide with his eyes closed, seeing that the horse whip was about to be waved, the voice of the master Ji Ziming came from inside the city gate: "Why should the master compete with some rough people." ”

The prefect Lu Zhen heard the whip in his hand, rode the horse to the city, the horse's head went straight to Ji Ziming in the city, seeing that it was less than three zhang away from Ji Ziming, this scholar didn't even hide, the prefect Lu Zhen's eyes were angry, and he continued to urge the horse forward, only a zhang away from Ji Ziming, the scholar still didn't move, although the prefect Lu Zhen's eyes were fierce, he also knew that it was inappropriate to kill him here, and stretched out his hand to pull the reins to stop the horse, the horse's head had reached Ji Ziming's chest, if it was a second late, this Ji Master would not be able to escape being hit and killed.

The prefect Lu Zhen held the horsewhip in his hand until Ji Ziming, and said sternly: "Master Ji is righteous, don't let the rough people in this mansion compete, then the mansion has to listen to the words of the master and compete with the scholars, to see if the horsewhip in my hand is hard or the scholars are hard." ”

Ji Ziming, the master of Hongyong Mansion, laughed in a low voice: "The truth in the world is the hardest. ”

"The old man has a horsewhip in his hand and is going to ask for reason. The prefect Lu Zhen laughed in the lunar calendar, looking at the anger in the eyes of the master who always likes to disagree with him on weekdays, the horsewhip in his hand was raised high, and he laughed: "Kneel down and kowtow a few times to the master, and the master will not beat you." ”

Ji Ziming's smile became heavier when he heard this, and he said sonorously: "My generation of scholars, kneeling down to the prince of heaven and earth, kneeling down to the law of the world, how can I kneel to you a wolf-hearted jackal, tiger and leopard." ”

Hearing this, the prefect Lu Zhen heard that the yin owl on his face was even thicker, and asked heavily: "Do you kneel or not?"

Master Ji Ziming shook his head and smiled: "I can't kneel." ”

"Presumptuous stuff. The prefect Lu Zhen's face was gloomy like water, and he scolded angrily and was about to swing the horsewhip in his hand.

"Slow. ”

Seeing that the horsewhip was about to hit Ji Ziming's face, a shout came from the streets on both sides, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of soldiers wearing Hongyong Military Mansion rushed out from both sides, lighting more than a dozen torches in an instant, shining the north gate of Hongyong Mansion like daylight.

The prefect Lu Zhen stopped with a horsewhip in his hand and shouted: "What's the matter?

Ji Ziming laughed when he heard this, his eyes were red when he laughed, tears rolled in his eyes, he shook his head and smiled: "Hongyong prefect, what a Hongyong prefect." ”

Seeing that everyone was silent, the prefect Lu Zhen waved the horsewhip in his hand and shouted: "Ji Ziming, the master of Hongyong Mansion, colluded with foreign countries to commit rebellion, and at this time, put down the blade and the mansion is not to blame in the past. ”

Hundreds of soldiers had their blades unsheathed, and Master Ji finally stopped laughing, his eyes were red and tears rolled out, and he pointed at the prefect Lu Zhen and scolded: "Lu Zhen, a corrupt official in Hongyong Mansion, has been in office for ten years, doing evil, looting the people's fat and ointment, disregarding hundreds of people's lives, bullying the people's daughters, and acting recklessly, and now he dares to collude with foreign countries, privately indulge in the north and repeat crimes, sacrifice the city and treason, betray his ancestors, betray the court, Lu Zhen, Lu Zhen, how can you be a person?"

Hearing this, the prefect Lu Zhen's face turned pale and he panicked: "Crazy man who talks nonsense, don't listen to his nonsense left and right, and take it quickly." ”

Tears rolled out of Master Ji Ziming's eyes, gritted his teeth and scolded: "In the past ten years, you have wronged people's lives and harmed Zhongliang, from disaster relief to food and salary, you have taken everything, and you have set up a name to destroy and displace hundreds of families. ”

Prefect Lu Zhen's face was blue, and the horsewhip in his hand suddenly waved down and scolded: "Nonsense." ”

Master Ji Ziming stretched out his hand to pull the horsewhip, pulled it suddenly, pulled the horsewhip out of the prefect Lu Zhen's hand, and shouted loudly: "Left and right, take down the corrupt officials with me, and ten thousand Lingchi." ”

"Yes. Hundreds of soldiers shouted in unison, the sound shook the sky, and the long knife in their hands Yingyue pressed towards the prefect Lu on the horse step by step.

Seeing this, the prefect Lu Zhen turned his horse's head and ran, and shouted in a panic at the twenty horsemen behind him: "Quick, stop them." ”

Master Ji Ziming's face was full of tears, and he roared: "Lu Zhen, the prefect of Hongyong, betrayed the country to seek glory and secretly passed through the north, and secretly indulged in the north for serious crimes. ”

The twenty horsemen present looked at each other when they heard this, and did not dare to resist, the prefect Lu Zhen galloped wildly, seeing that he was about to escape less than ten zhang away from the city gate, Dong Yu, an old gatekeeper covered in blood, got up from the ground with difficulty, and shouted: "Brothers, follow me to take down the national thieves, in order to vent the anger of people and gods." ”

"Yes. ”

Dozens of night watchmen shouted loudly and rushed towards the prefect Lu Zhen who was running away on horseback, and the prefect Lu Zhen had fierce eyes and wanted to rush through the crowd.

The young soldier who was almost whipped before swept the goose-headed knife out of his hand from the side, and swept towards the prefect Lu on the horse, and the cold light flashed in front of the prefect Lu, and he hurriedly turned back, leaned over, and fell off the horse.

In just an instant, dozens of soldiers surrounded the prefect Lu Zhen, and the doorman Dong Yu didn't know where he got the strength to snatch the goose-head knife from the young soldier and slash at the prefect Lu Zhen who fell to the ground.

Seeing the sword light coming, Lu Zhen hurriedly protected his head and neck and curled up his body, a chill flashed, Lu Zhen only felt a cold in his legs, and then a sharp pain hit.

In the moonlight, under the city gate, Dong Yu, a doorman covered in blood, held a goose-headed knife in his hand and cut off the feet of the prefect Lu Zhen, and in an instant, blood gushed out from Lu Zhen's ankle, instantly staining the snow all over the ground.
