On this day, Li Luo was having dinner with Cui Xiuning, Yan Duo, and Li Yuan in the official residence, when suddenly Yan Falcon, the captain of the personal guard, came to report: "Wolf master, Zhizhou Huang Buhua asked to see him, saying that there is something that needs to be reported to the wolf master." ”

Li Luo had just finished eating, but he was not in a hurry. "This scalper won't come here for Liu Sanjiu's business, right? Let him stay in the living room for a while. ”

Zhizhou Huang Buhua was sitting in the living room of the outer courtyard of the town guard at this time, looking a little helpless.

He didn't expect that the sons of the Mongolian governor, Zahur and Tu Xie'er, would come to him and ask him for Liu Sanjiu, asking him to take him back and lynch him to be lynched. How unreasonable!

What is this for "Da Yuan Law"? Shouldn't the Mongols abide by the "Great Yuan Law" even more? That's their own law!

In his heart, he is Han after all, and his heart must be towards Liu Sanjiu. But for the sake of his official hat, he could only sentence Liu Sanjiu Lingchi, originally thinking that he could appease Zahur and others.

But these Mongolian barbarians are completely unreasonable. Zahur is a small brand, but it is just a long time, and he is aggressive with himself, an official from the Sipin Imperial Court, and threatens to ask him to be the general of Jinan City if he does not hand over Liu Sanjiu.

This is completely an attitude of not being afraid to make a big fuss. Relying on the identity of the Mongols, he actually threatened himself.

But he can only give in.

Who called this the world conquered by the Mongols? In the eyes of today's saints, a Mongolian soldier is more expensive than him, a Han official.

In the end, he could only tell the Zahur brothers that he could not make the decision on this matter, and he had to nod the head of the town guard.

That's when the brutal little sign was sent away.

Before leaving, the Zahur brothers said that if there was no answer within tomorrow, he would personally ask to see the town guard.

Just when Huang Buhua was in an irritable mood, he only heard a hearty voice and smiled: "The magistrate came to the door, I don't know what to see?" ”

Huang Buhua hurriedly put down the tea bowl and stood up, and said to Li Luo, who walked into the living room, "Disturb the town guard Yajing." There is really one thing, which is quite tricky, and I can only ask the town guard to decide. ”

Li Luo was sitting down on the futon on the desk, in stark contrast to Huang Buhua sitting on the chair.

"Oh? What kind of important official business has happened in the state that makes the governors worry about it? Li Luo looked like an idle official who didn't care at all.

Huang Buhua saw Li Luo kneeling, and he couldn't sit on the chair anymore, so he could only reluctantly learn to kneel and sit, while slandering the conservative sitting of the Goryeo nobles.

"The town guards knew that the two sons of the Mongolian security chief actually begged Liu Sanjiu and tried to bring him back to the village community to be lynched. This is inconsistent with national law. The lower official had the intention to refuse, but the two brothers were quite rude and had a tough attitude. I have the heart to agree, but I am afraid that the Internal Inspection Yuan will learn that I am participating in the impeachment, or that the official reputation will be damaged. Huang Buhua smiled bitterly.

When Li Luo heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and secretly came.

"It's... Isn't that ridiculous? If lynching can replace the law of the land, then what is the use of government officials? The world is not chaotic anymore? How unreasonable! Li Luo said solemnly, "Isn't sentencing Liu Sanjiu Ling Chi enough to calm his family's anger?" Liu Sanjiu's family is out of business. ”

Huang Zhizhou sighed and said: "What the town guard official said is extremely true, and this is exactly the reason. But if they don't agree, lest they find the Mongolian officials to call the shots, and make unreasonable trouble, and the officials and subordinates will not look good! ”

Li Luo groaned: "This... If it agrees, where is the prestige of the state government? You and I will also ruin the official reputation. He looked hesitant and seemed to be in a dilemma.

Huang Zhizhou observed the words and looks, and knew that there was a play.

"Official, don't blame the officials for being rude. To put it bluntly, although the town guards are not Han Chinese, they are not Mongolian officials, which is different after all. It is difficult for us to wait for Han officials, but it is not easy to guard officials, after all, officials are not a nation, and it is not easy to offend these Mongolian soldiers casually, it is not worth it. ”

Li Luo smiled bitterly: "The officials of Zhizhou are really bitter! How can the official be blamed? According to the meaning of the state officials, they were allowed to do so?

Huang Zhizhou said: "The lower officials think that they should be allowed." Speaking of which, such things are not unfounded, Mongolian officials love to use lynching, and the "Great Zasa" was not without basis back then. ”

Li Luo nodded: "Then let them go." However, I can't agree to them right away, but it seems that the state government is too easy to talk. ”

Huang Zhizhou said with a smile: "Xia Guan also thinks so. It always took two days to delay them before they knew the solemnity of the state government. ”

He got Li Luo's nod, and his heart was also relieved. In addition, I am not used to kneeling and sitting, and my legs and feet are sore and numb for a short time, so I am ready to leave.

"The new official of the town guard has taken office, and it is me who is waiting for the upper officials, and the lower officials are not respectful, this is only a small courtesy, it is not a respect, I implore the officials not to shirk!"

Huang Buhua took out two gold ingots weighing ten taels and gently placed them on the table, making a soft "dong" sound, which was extremely wonderful.

Li Luo glanced at his eyes and said with a smile: "You and I colleagues, why do you need to be like this?" It's outside, it's really outside. ”

Twenty taels of gold is worth two hundred taels of silver, which is not a light gift.

Huang Zhizhou smiled happily when he saw Li Luo, so he smiled and said goodbye with a reassuring smile. Now the Dayuan officialdom is a rule, and it is a rule to salute the new officials. As a governor, he naturally has to lead by example, and he can't be bad.

Li Luo sent Huang Buhua out, so he sleeved two gold ingots and entered the inner house for Cui Xiuning.

Cui Xiuning took the gold, "It's two hundred taels of silver again." You've only been doing Daru Huachi for a few days, and you've received thousands of taels for this gift, you're a corrupt official. Having said that, the woman put the gold away.

"Do you know what this scalper is looking for me?" Li Luo smiled, and stepped forward to hug the police flower who was tinkering with the silver box.

"Is it the family of the Mongolian security chief who is looking for him?" Cui Xiuning didn't bother to reply, she let Li Luo hug her waist and stack the gold and silver in the box with both hands.

"Yes, the Mongolian family has taken the bait. The day after tomorrow, I will hand over Liu Sanjiu to them and take it back. Li Luo nodded.

Cui Xiuning broke away from his embrace and turned around, her clear eyes were very bright, "Even if it is justice." ”

…………

In the north of November, the weather is already cold. On the rural roads of Rongcheng County, there are fewer pedestrians.

On the official road dozens of miles away from Qingniu Mountain, five horses and six people were hurrying.

The first two were the Zahur brothers, and the two riders behind were Aqig and Talan, mother and daughter. The last rider was Hannu He Chongsi.

There was also a person who was not riding, and was wearing shackles and wooden flails, and was led behind He Chongsi's horse, and staggered and half-pulled.

Of course, it is the teenager Liu Sanjiu.

It had been dozens of miles out of the city, and the mother and daughter of Aqige shouted that they were tired, so the Zahur brothers dismounted together and rested with them for a while.

Both brothers were Mongol soldiers, and although they were not armor-piercing, they also carried strong bows and scimitars.

Zahur suddenly scolded Hannu He Chongsi: "Dog minion, why don't you come over and give me Eji a beating on the back, looking for a draw?" ”

He Chongsi hurriedly trotted over, "The master is angry, and the slave will come, and he will come." ”

Sister Da Lan sat down and ate a bite of beef, looked up and saw Liu Sanjiu's hateful gaze, and immediately shouted: "Look at what!" When I get back to the village, I'm going to gouge out your eyes in front of Abuling and blast them. ”

Liu Sanjiu was exhausted, he couldn't understand what this ugly and sturdy Mongolian woman was saying, and he didn't want to understand.

"Dog minion, why don't you translate Miss Ben's words to him quickly!" Alan was furious, and whipped He Chongsi on the back, "Eyeless dog slave, raising you is like raising a donkey, move it!" ”

He Chongsi was even busier, not only to beat the back of the humming and chirping housewife Aqige, but also to translate Miss Alan's words to Liu Sanjiu.

"Our young lady said she was going to gouge out your eyes with her own hands. Hey, brother, you're miserable. He Chongsi was very unbearable in his heart, and couldn't help but say a private word.

Liu Sanjiu gritted his teeth and snorted heavily, his face was full of unruly ferocity, if he hadn't been with a chain and wooden shackles, he would definitely come up and fight hard.

The Zahur brothers looked at Liu Sanjiu with a cruel smile in their eyes.

Hmph, the Goryeo town guard was a cowardly person after all, and he didn't dare to offend the Mongol warriors at all. If he is not a Mongol, what if he is a big official? Not a minion of Dayuan yet?

I insisted on bringing back Liu Sanjiu to be lynched, so isn't the town guard still handing over?

Thinking of this, the Zahur brothers were very happy. Even if they are Mongols who have no roots, they are also a dignified nation, and the size is a master, not more expensive than the Han Goryeo gold?

The Zahur brothers sat on the side of the road, eating meat and drinking wine, and talked about how to kill Liu Sanjiu to intimidate the other villagers.

At this moment, He Chongsi, who had been standing all along, pointed to the road in front of him and said, "Master, there is a team of cavalry over there!" ”

Came a squad of cavalry?

The Zahur brothers, who reacted quickly, subconsciously took off their strong bows, and familiarly drew out wolf tooth arrows, and their movements were very crisp and neat.

No matter who is coming, you must be vigilant before you find out.

Although the two did not feel that they were enemies, they still showed strong vigilance.

Even Aqige and Talan, mother and daughter, quickly took off the light bow on horseback and took the arrow in hand.

Mongolian women can not only ride horses, but also shoot arrows, and even go into battle to kill enemies.

"Boom!" A puff of dust rolled up on the road ahead, and soon, the eyes of Zahur and the others widened.

There were more than 100 cavalrymen, and the clothes they wore were not neat, and they were definitely not officers and soldiers.

"It's a bandit!" Zahur shouted, and in the sound of "click", he had already bent his bow and arrows.
