Chapter 174: A New Official Takes Office

At the same time, on the mountain road, Guo Jia, who was walking side by side, winked his eyes and said to Xu Chu: "How about it, it's much more comfortable like this." ”

Xu Chu put down Gao Zhen's tiger arm, and his face was full of interest: "Don't say it, I have never had this kind of coolness." ”

As soon as Xu Chu's words fell, Guo Jia also raised his neck and roared. But his voice was too indecent. If Xu Chu's roar is like a tiger's roar, then Guo Jia's roar is like a donkey's cry, a cat's cry, a chicken's howl, and a wolf's howl.

However, Xu Chu didn't care at all, and after Guo Jia finished speaking, the two looked up to the sky and laughed together. After laughing, I didn't feel like it was enjoyable, and then I yelled and howled unscrupulously towards the sky.

Jia Xu on horseback kept his eyes closed, and he didn't open it once after leaving Jia's mansion, and even at the moment when Guo Jia hugged him and got off the horse, he didn't move, let alone say a word.

The silent mountain forest was filled with flocks of birds because of these two crazy madmen.

It was not early, but Guo Jia and Xu Chu were not in a hurry. With Jia Xu in hand, they have nothing to worry about in Huainan.

After walking a mile of mountain road, Jia Xu's eyes suddenly opened.

After only half an hour, a strange howl came from the jungle.

Xu Chu, who had not been on the battlefield for a long time, was still a little slower to react, and he did not have the slightest vigilance against the ambush, so Xu Chu did not respond effectively to this rapid arrow at the last moment.

But fortunately, the target of this arrow was not anyone on the horse, but the mount war horse under Guo Jia's crotch.

The arrow was hit by the neck of the war horse, and the arrow sank into at least two inches deep, and in an instant, boiling horse blood shot out from the wound.

The war horse fluttered and neighed twice, but it fell directly to the ground. Guo Jia, who was on the horse, fell to the ground in embarrassment, but he lay directly on the ground and didn't even dare to raise his head.

Here, Xu Chu also pulled Jia Xu behind him off the horse and put on a posture to face the battle.

Guo Jia didn't have any preparation when he fell off the horse, and when he landed, he was scratched by stones, but fortunately, his face and head fell into the dust, and there was no big problem.

But this is enough to make the ghost angry, at that moment Guo Jia turned his face and said viciously to Jia Xu: "Dead old ghost, this son is a hundred secrets, I didn't expect that you would have a political enemy in Huainan who wanted to put you to death!" ”

Jia Xu was very indifferent, just shook his head, but did not give any explanation.

The three of them waited for a moment with great vigilance, but they did not see the second arrow fired, nor did they see a figure flickering on the top of the mountain.

After waiting for a while, there was finally movement on the mountain.

First a short man with a bow and arrow jumped out, and then a dozen or so strong men jumped out.

The handsome young man in the middle had a look of eyes high above the top, and although he was already standing condescendingly on the mountain, he still raised his head slightly and spoke. All that was left for Guo Jia and Xu Chu to see was the young man's pair of exhaling nostrils.

"We hunted here, and we shot a total of five arrows at the deer, but only four arrows were recovered, have you ever seen the missing arrow?"

This is a fool!

This was Guo Jia's first reaction. Although he didn't see the trajectory and speed of the feather arrow, Guo Jia knew that the gang in front of him was definitely here to find fault just from the fact that his mount was killed with one blow.

Without waiting for Guo Jia to speak, Xu Chu said angrily: "Fart, you are obviously an arrow deliberately shot in ambush here!" I've never seen a tributary that can shoot through a horse's bones

, Who sent you, come quickly, don't wait for me to kill you, and you can't regret it! ”

Oops, that's a big breath! I also don't pay attention to look at the situation. Although the facts are clear that we are deliberately looking for faults, but you don't look at it, just the three of you, a weak scholar and literati, an old bone, plus you alone, dare to shout at us, are you really impatient?

"You have any evidence that we shot the arrow on purpose?" The handsome young man stretched out his hand and picked his nostrils with his little thumb, still facing the sky and said: "General Zhendong advocates the rule of law in Yangzhou, and everything big and small must pay attention to evidence. If there is no evidence that we deliberately laid an ambush here to shoot arrows, I will sue you for slander and false accusations! ”

Because of the establishment of the whistleblowing system, Huainan has severe penalties for defamation and false accusations. For example, if you falsely accuse your neighbor of stealing one of your chickens, you will have to pay your neighbor at least a sheep or even a cow if you are found out! Anyone who falsely injures or injures a person shall be sentenced to death, and a person who frames a murderer shall be punished with extermination.

Therefore, the handsome young man moved out of the crime of framing, trying to scare these people with this, and then the matter was much simpler. Reveal your identity and ask them if they are willing to go to court against Bo. If you don't want to be public, then "private" with this son!

The distance is a little far, and I can't see the appearance of these people clearly. But the handsome young man could see that these people had oil and water to fish. After all, in this era, it is quite easy to distinguish between a person's wealth and poverty, just look at the color and style of clothes.

Ordinary toilers wore either homemade, undyed, white-gray clothing, or the usual coarse black and brown clothing. And those who wear pure white Confucian clothes and crowns are definitely people with a certain status.

After coughing twice, Guo Jia brushed the dust on his body and said to the slope: "In the past, there were deer for horses, but today there are horses for horses." Xiaosheng is not talented, there is indeed no evidence to indicate that your Excellency deliberately shot this arrow, today I also admit this loss, I just want to ask your name and surname, after the birthday of the little one, I can write a good record for you, so that today's allusion will circulate in the township, maybe it can be recorded in the classics of different aspirations! ”

Referring to a deer as a horse? Shoot a horse for a deer? What a mess?

After Guo Jia finished speaking, Xu Chu smiled first. And it's holding his stomach and laughing.

A handsome young man with a capital letter on his face turned his head to look at a young man who was about the same age beside him, this young man coughed dryly twice, and said to the handsome young man: "Childe, they, they seem to be comparing you with Zhao Gao." ”

Zhao Gao? The name is so familiar, it seems that the teacher who has heard the history books mention this name before!

Shaft! After eating the bear's heart and leopard gall, he dared to compare the handsome and dashing Ben Gongzi with the eunuch who had been stinking for thousands of years!

The handsome young man, who had only recovered for a long time, was furious again, and he didn't care about flicking off the filth that had just been picked off his fingers, so he jumped twice on the spot in anger, and directly waved his hand and ordered: "Give it to me, kill and kill the disabled son." ”

More than a dozen elite men here responded with a bang, and then rushed downhill together. Xu Chu's eyes lit up immediately, but he turned his head to look at Guo Jia first.

It wasn't until Guo Jia nodded his head slightly with a solemn face that Xu Chu rubbed his hands, and then faced the more than ten big men who swooped down condescendingly, showed a tiger tooth and smiled, and then rushed up the hill alone.

The result of the battle naturally does not need to be repeated, as soon as he escaped from Shouchun, who felt like a cage, Xu Chu was full of resentment and had nowhere to vent. Although he yelled a few times just now, it was only a part of the resentment.

Not enough for the handsome young man to open his mouth wide, Xu Chu kicked down all those who dared to touch the tiger's whiskers with his bare hands, and rushed straight to the handsome young man.

It's just that at this time, the two were stunned together, just because they saw each other's faces clearly.

In the next second, Xu Chu spared no strength, and suddenly punched straight at the handsome young man's face.

It's just that the handsome young man reacted a little faster than Xu Chu, and Xu Chu finally punched a miss.

Poof!

saw that the handsome young man's legs were directly weak, and he knelt in front of Xu Chu.

Tong!

It was not enough to kneel, the handsome young man directly hit the ground with his forehead and snorted his head with a shocking sound!

"Grandpa Tiger spares his life!"

The handsome young man suddenly made this scene, but it was completely unexpected by Xu Chu. The second punch, swung high, paused in the air for a moment.

Syllable!

The sound startled a flock of birds a hundred meters away.

After all, Xu Chu is a complete martial artist, and he does not have the rules of a literati who stretch out his hand and don't hit a smiling person.

Although the tiger marquis at the last moment did not retract his strength, he turned his fist into a palm and slapped the handsome young man's face heavily.

The poor handsome young man looked completely different from himself half an hour ago in the next second. The sash on his head was directly shaken away, and his whole body lay on the ground, but half of his face was buried in the dirt.

However, this handsome young man was not knocked unconscious by the full slap of Huhou's left hand, and after a little separation, he staggered up by himself.

It's just that the right side of his face is swollen at this moment, and half of his face buried in the dirt is also covered with mud and weeds. And the body is also swaying, as if drunk.

The handsome young man, oh not the half-pig-headed young man, shook his head and slowly raised his right hand.

Just as Xu Chu was about to throw the third punch, the half-pig-headed young man's bleeding mouth was half-clear and said, "Good fight!" ”

After saying these three words, the half-pig-headed young man softened and collapsed directly on the ground.

Xu Chu reluctantly put down his fist and attacked a person who had passed out, he still couldn't do this kind of thing.

After thinking about it, Xu Chu stretched out his tiger claws, lifted the half-pig-headed young man, and did not carry it on his back, but directly lifted it down the hillside and walked towards Guo Jia.

Guo Jia looked at the face of the half-pig-headed young man for a long time, and then spit out a sentence for a long time: "Who is this unlucky guy, why does he look a little familiar?" ”

Xu Chu replied angrily: "Who else can it be, it is the Shouchun Palace Order of the three dogs that the new official took office!" ”

At this time, the phrase "three fires" for new officials was not yet popularized in the folk language. In fact, this sentence was the first to describe Zhuge Liang's burning of Bowangpo, the burning of Xinye, and the burning of Chibi. But in this life, because of the existence of Zhang Xiu, this proverb has become popular in Huainan and nearby areas.

This common saying, blurted out by Zhang Xiu by chance, resonated with the Huainan scholars. It also led to a lot of similar versions. Our ancient people were always full of wisdom, and they soon applied this proverb to Yuan Yin, who was appointed as the captain of Shouchun Palace.

The three fires that people took office burned the old things redundantly, and burned out the new atmosphere. It's a very direct compliment. And the three dogs of this new official are completely ridiculed by all Shouchun people to Yuan Yin, the former prince of the Zhong family.
