Yan Rui pulled Xi'en, and the two walked unhurriedly, not like they were fleeing, but like wandering. It's just that I came out in the middle of the night to play, which is really a bit out of place.

"Brother Yanrui, everyone has arrived, right?"

"According to your orders, six people, all of whom are capable of the men, are guarding the front." Yan Rui replied honestly in a low voice.

In front of me is a two-person wide stone bridge, and a stone carving of a gourd is placed at the head of the bridge. I don't know which dynasty and which generation came out of the customs, the gourd at the head of the horizontal gourd bridge is a scene of the gourd tun.

"Brother Yanrui, go back, take care of your father." Xi En waved goodbye to Yan Rui, the voice was not loud, but it was very clear in the middle of the night.

"Okay, but it's time for you, little girl, where are you going?"

"Thanks to Second Brother Li's clever calculation, otherwise you would have slipped away!"

"If you don't do it, the young lady of the county master's family, will it be difficult for you to want to be called Hanako again?"

In the darkness, three or five men gathered around, and their mouths were flowing with some inconsequential words.

Xien said in a deep voice, "I have no grudges with you in the past, no enmity in the near future, the road leads to the sky, go to one side, and ask a few people to make it convenient." ”

The leader of the 'hehe' Yile, "What you said is indeed good, but today is different, our brothers are entrusted by others, and they are heartfelt, and they are called Hanako, you still go back and forth!" ”

Xi En raised the package in his hand and smashed it out, and then pulled his leg and was about to slip.

Where can a few people allow her to escape, they will reach out and arrest someone.

At this time, a few men suddenly rushed out, and it was impossible to say that they came over to look at the few people around them. Several people who beat straight up cried for their fathers and called for their mothers, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Xi En hugged his arms and watched the excitement beside him, and saw that the heat was almost over, so he shouted, "Stop."

"Who sent you over to block my way?"

Several people were still spitting, and the person standing next to him raised his kick and kicked the leader to the. He struggled to get up from the ground, spat and foamed, cleaned the mud and sand in his mouth, and said tremblingly, "Li Er, he promised each of us ten copper plates, let us stop the girl." A few of us are also poor, earn some pocket money, and don't want to hurt the girl, and hope that you will have a lot of adults and spare the villains. As he spoke, he kowtowed. The rest of them were also beaten just now, and the three souls and six spirits who were beaten had not yet returned to their positions, and they also kowtowed like pounding garlic one by one, shouting, "Girl, spare your life." ”

Seeing that these bears were so pustuated, Xi'en was so unhappy, and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and asked several people to press their handprints one by one. These people were forced to press their heads, where did they dare to hesitate a little.

A few people thought that this was the end of the matter, and they didn't want to hear footsteps, accompanied by the light of torches, which gradually approached from a distance.

Xi En ripped her skirt a few times, rubbed her temples twice, and cried loudly in the direction of the visitor, "Someone, help!" "The voice is poignant, and it makes people feel excited.

"Who is doing evil here, why don't you lock me up and go to the county office for questioning!"

Before a few people came back to their senses, the officials who arrived were like wolves and tigers, and they came up and picked up the locks of the few people just now, and took them to the official mansion together with gratitude.

Ma Sihai, the county commander of Fengze County, is a diligent official, and when he heard people beating drums and complaining about grievances late at night, he immediately got up to work. At this moment, he is dressed in an official mansion with five pythons and four claws, with a plain gold crown, sitting upright in the public court. This man has a square face, thin lips, a beautiful hair on the upper lip, and two blazing eyes like two lightning bolts that can pierce people's internal organs.

Xi En knelt down in the court, and without waiting to ask, he said sadly, "The little girl is wronged, please ask Lord Qingtian to be the master of the people's daughter!" ”

Ma Sihai looked at the situation below, guessed one or two in his heart, and patted the wood, "Who are the kneeling people below, and there are any grievances, and they don't come one by one." ”

"The little woman Bai Xi'en is the righteous daughter of the Chen family in Hulutun, and the little woman wants to go out of Hulutun tonight, but these hooligans block the way and don't let the little woman pass."

Ma Sihai listened to Xi'en's words, and after waiting for a moment, he was shocked again, "But is there such a thing?" Why are you blocking her way? ”

The people just now had already lost their arrogance, and when they entered the yamen at this time, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak. After a long time, the one who was still the leader replied, "Back to the eldest lord, we are entrusted by others, as long as we don't let the white girl out of Hulutun tonight, we can get ten copper plates, this is the truth, and we don't dare to deceive the adult." ”

"Oh?" Ma Sihai 'chuckled' in his heart, it seems that there is still something hidden in this matter. "Bai Xien, what else do you have to say?"

Xi En covered her mouth and sobbed for a moment, "The folk girl wants to run away from marriage." ”

"From ancient times to the present, all children's marriages are the orders of their parents, and the words of the matchmaker, isn't it unfilial piety for you to run away from marriage alone? Besides, the Chen family is your adoptive parents, and it is even more unkind and unjust for you to do this. Ma Sihai said extraordinarily righteous words.

"But this marriage was something my father and mother refused to agree to." Xi En lowered his head and said softly.

"Is this really unreasonable, could it be that someone wants to take it by force? I can't tolerate such a treacherous villain in Fengze County. He said in a fierce voice and sneered, "But this matter can't be based on your side of the matter, in the end, it is right and wrong, and it is easy to let the family come over and confront each other in person." ”

Master Liu, who was standing beside Ma Sihai, was so anxious that his two hands were twisted, and seeing that he couldn't cover it anymore, he had to bite the bullet and lean over and whisper a few words in Ma Xianling's ear.

In the back hall of the county office, the green tendons on Ma Sihaiqi's temples burst out. At one point, Mrs. Ma and her son Ma Jun entered the door together.

"Good work you two did!" Ma Sihai couldn't say anything, and raised his hand to sweep the tea cup off the table. The sound of breaking frightened Mrs. Ma's face.

Ma Jun didn't dare to quibble, and knelt down in front of his father, "This is all the child's fault, because the child saw the woman's flower and moon appearance, he moved his mind, and begged his mother to go and say goodbye, but he didn't expect such a result." ”

Mrs. Ma felt a little unreasonable when she saw that her husband was angry, so she straightened up at the moment, and comforted her son first, "This has nothing to do with you, you get up and speak." ”

Ma Sihai glared at Ma Jun coldly, where did Ma Jun dare to move, so he had to kneel obediently in place.

"My Jun'er wants to marry her as the daughter of a merchant family, is she still wronged, since she dares to make trouble in the county government, she really doesn't know how to lift, I don't think it's a crime, it's serious to develop it."

Ma Sihai sighed, blaming himself for not disciplining his son strictly on weekdays, and he lost face in this file. But at this time, this matter has already started to make trouble, and it is better to end it first. Otherwise, once the trouble will go out, he will not look good.
