Ma Kongming walked to the bedside and checked Lin Renzhao's pulse, and when he saw that his pulse was stable, he was relieved. After drinking for a while, he found that the wine in the cabinet had been drunk, so he went to the county seat.

When he went out, the body of the man in blue outside the house was gone, thinking that he was taken away by the catcher, but he didn't care, and went all the way south to the county seat.

Walking on the street, he found that there were more people on the street than when he came last time, and he was secretly surprised, and asked the people, and actually praised the county order.

He has been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years, although most of the officials he has encountered are corrupt officials, but occasionally he will meet good officials, and he secretly thinks in his heart: "Could it be that he really met a good official by himself again?" ”

When he passed by a shoe stall, he asked the stall owner, "Brother, I want to ask you something." ”

The stall owner had a black mole on the corner of his mouth, and said angrily: "Who is your brother, if you have something to say, let it go." ”

Ma Kongming frowned and said: "I heard that the county magistrate of this county is a good official, I don't know if there is really something wrong?" ”

The stall owner kicked his eyes and shouted, "Bullshit, bullshit! ”

Ma Kongming perked up and hurriedly asked, "Why did my brother say that, could it be that he was oppressed by the government?" ”

The stall owner looked extremely irritable and said angrily: "The reason why Lao Tzu came here to sell shoes is because of him! ”

Ma Kongming said in his heart, sure enough, there was a ghost, and asked, "How did he hurt you?" ”

It seemed that the stall owner was holding back his grievances, and said hatefully:

"Originally, I had been following my cousin to maintain the law and order of this street, just hoping to do something good for the people, but as soon as that person came, he arrested my cousin without asking questions, and also fined me most of my family property for public gain, forcing me to be desperate, so I could only come here to sell shoes."

When he spoke, when a passer-by passed by, his voice was very quiet, and when the passer-by was far away, it became very loud again.

"This dog officer is really hateful." Ma Kongming was furious.

The stall owner sighed, "The world is difficult! ”

Ma Kongming took out a tael of silver from his arms, stuffed it into his hand, and said, "Brother, I will come to you again after a while, and I will seek justice for you." ”

Without waiting for him to reply, he turned and left.

The stall owner looked at him in surprise, and when he was far away, he took the silver and said with a smile: "It's good luck to meet a fool, and I can buy a good cloth for my wife when I go back." ”

Ma Kongming was quite angry at first, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly had suspicions, his martial arts skills were so high, he was not a stupid person, and the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became.

All the way back, he didn't ask the stall owner directly, he stood fifty meters away from the stall and asked a passer-by: "Brother, do you know who the shoe seller is?" ”

After the man glanced at it, there was a look of disgust in his eyes, and he snorted: "His name is Qi Laosan, he used to be a bully, and then the county magistrate came, and they stinky rats naturally have no good life. ”

After a pause, he sighed: "This dog is lucky, when he robbed Li Yuan's daughter, who knew that after he was down, Li would rather cut off relations with his father than leave him, and he also has a good hand of needlework, if it is not for Li's face, who would buy his shoes." With that, he shook his head and left.

Ma Kongming was stunned, and after a long time, he stopped drinking and returned to Huangkou Village.

After sitting alone in the house for a long time, he suddenly took a piece of charcoal, wrote on the ground, "Master and apprentice are finished, don't read it", sorted out his bags at random, and strode south.

He was originally the leader of the Northeast Martial Arts and the leader of the Yellow River Gang, and in recent years, he has faintly been able to compare with Mu San in the Northwest. He is already famous enough, as long as he can compete with Mu San without falling behind, then he will immediately become the fifth great master in the martial arts.

However, just a few months ago, he suddenly received a letter from Zhang Ziting, a sister who had been secretly in love for many years, Zhang Ziting was met by him when he was young, but unfortunately when the two separated, Zhang Ziting rejected him and never saw each other again. However, he never forgot this woman, and often missed the moon at night.

He thought that Zhang Ziting had already married and had children, so he never dared to go to her, who knew that she suddenly wrote a letter to him to meet in Kaihua County, and it was difficult for him to suppress the lovesickness in his heart, and even resigned from the position of the helper, leaving everything behind and coming to the Southern Tang Dynasty to find each other.

But who knew that he was captured by the "dove" on the road, in order to meet this woman, he endured humiliation and burden, with deep skills, while they thought they could not move, and escaped when they were negligent in care, but all his martial arts were lost.

He didn't want Zhang Ziting to see his embarrassed appearance, so he was ready to go to her after resuming his martial arts.

Originally, he lost all his martial arts, and he was already a little depressed, but after this incident, he was even more depressed and ashamed in his heart, and he felt shameless to stay in this county, and he couldn't care about anything else, just wanted to see the woman who dreamed of his dreams as soon as possible, so that his tired heart could be at peace.

Thinking of Zhang Ziting's voice and appearance in his mind, he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

After walking for more than two hours, suddenly there was a sound of fighting in front of me, and when I stepped forward, I saw a team of officials surrounding two carriages, and in front of the carriage a woman in white was riding a horse and holding a long sword, and was confronting the officials.

Seeing the woman in white, Ma Kongming felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart and shouted, "Sixth sister! ”

When the woman in white saw him, she looked incredulous, and couldn't even speak for a while.

Ma Kongming hurried over, but a servant stopped him and shouted, "Who are you?" ”

If it was in the past, he would have punched this official away, but at this moment, he had to stop, and said with a smile: "Ma Kongming is also!" ”

One of the servants shouted loudly: "Could it be the thief Ma Kongming?" ”

The chief of the government officials also heard of this person's murderous name, and heard that when he was in the north, he once broke into the county government at night, beat the county order violently, and then hung him at the gate of the county office.

Ma Kongming said sharply: "Don't get out yet!" ”

The leader of the government snorted and said, "Don't be complacent, don't leave if you have a kind, I'll go back immediately and report to the county commander, and let the city defense battalion come to arrest you." With that, he withdrew with the servants.

Ma Kongming walked quickly to the woman in white, and after the two looked at each other affectionately, they hugged each other tightly.

Suddenly, a majestic voice sounded: "Ziting, is he the person you are waiting for?" ”

The woman in white hurriedly pushed him away, only to see his father get out of the carriage, hurriedly walked up to him, and whispered, "Yes, father." ”

Ma Kongming has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, but when he saw this old man, he was a little scared, and said, "Hello old man." ”

At this time, a young man in brocade clothes walked out of the car, his eyes looked extremely flexible, he glanced at Ma Kongming a few times, and said with a smile:

"Sister, I often hear you praise this person, and I thought it was a big hero, a big hero, but when I look at it today, it's just that!"

The old man's name is Zhang Dezhong, and he is a civilized Confucian. The young man's name was Zhang Du, the character Ziwen, and he was his son.

Ma Kongming glared at him, and said in his heart, as a dignified man, you let a woman defend against the enemy outside, but you hide in the car, and you still have the face to talk about others.

"I know what you're thinking, don't you just think I'm a big man, but I'm hiding in a carriage and being cowardly?" Zhang Du snorted, he walked up to Ma Kongming, and said in a deep voice:

"Let me ask you, I don't know martial arts, and if I come out, I will only become a burden to my sister, what good is it?"

"A manly man, if you die, you will die, you are just an excuse for being afraid of death." Ma Kongming laughed.

Zhang Du was about to ridicule him, Zhang Dezhong said: "Ziwen, what he said is right, you have been too concerned about the gains and losses over the years, but you have failed to take responsibility. ”

Zhang Du showed a thoughtful look when he heard this.

Zhang Dezhong walked up to Ma Kongming and asked, "That official said you were a thief just now, what's the matter?" ”

Zhang Ziting was in a hurry, walked up to the old man and said, "Daddy, he-" But she was clumsy in her words, and she didn't know how to explain for a while.

"I used to rob the rich and help the poor, and I killed some bad people, so some people called me a thief." Ma Kongming said in a deep voice.

Zhang Dezhong sighed: "Although it is out of good intentions, it is still a little confused. ”

Ma Kongming was unconvinced: "Those profiteers exploited the people, I don't think I did anything wrong. ”

"He's a real man." Zhang Dezhong showed a smile on his serious face and said to his daughter, "You have a good eye." ”

Zhang Ziting said in a low voice: "He's a little stunned, don't blame him, daddy." ”

Ma Kongming was stunned, he thought that the old man was going to praise him, but he was accusatory, and when he thought he was going to accuse himself, he praised him again.

"Son, you want to help the poor people, and your intentions are excellent, but at the same time you are attacking the majesty of the law."

Ma Kongming listened to him talk to him so kindly, and felt close to the old man, but he had an upright personality, and still retorted in a low voice: "But the law can't control those bad people at all!" ”
