Chapter 23 A thief takes a thief
"That thief, let my father-in-law go."
In a deserted countryside in Meiyu Village, Hui'an County, Quanzhou, Xu Biao tore off his tattered shirt and made a three-foot-long long-handled Pu knife to fight shirtless.
Xu Biao's fine black flesh shone in the sun, looking extremely powerful.
After Yao Yu, Xu Biao and others converged with Hu Xianling and others in Hui'an County, they split up to find Li Sanjian.
And not long after, Xu Biao saw Li Sanjian from a distance here, and Li Sanjian seemed to have been kidnapped by the bandits? So Xu Biao was anxious, and he didn't have time to inform others, so he desperately tried to save Li Sanjian single-handedly.
Xu Biao was strong and had excellent martial arts, and he fought hard to kill, so he injured several thieves one after another, and scared all the thieves to avoid it.
"What a big worm, I'll meet him somewhere!" After Zheng Tai rushed to the front, after seeing the mighty Xu Biao, he praised it loudly, and then he carried the big ring knife upside down to meet him.
Zheng Tai also tore off the tattered shirt on his body, revealing a body of fine muscles, but compared with Xu Biao, the flesh on Zheng Tai's body was much whiter, and his muscular arms were tattooed with various patterns, which also looked majestic.
"Black man! Your family is a father-in-law... After Zheng Tai ran close to Xu Biao, he carried the big ring knife and asked loudly.
"Whew", Xu Biao didn't wait for Zheng Tai to finish speaking, he picked up the Pu knife and cut his head, scolding while chopping: "Black-faced thief, take your life!" ”
Zheng Tai not only has tattoos on his body, but also has tattoos on his forehead, so he was scolded by Xu Biao as a black-faced thief, but Xu Biao was angry and forgot that he also had a tattoo on his forehead...
Zheng Tai was also furious when he saw this, he had seen a reckless person, but he had never seen such a reckless person, and he wanted to take his life without waiting for him to finish speaking?
So Zheng Tai angrily waved his knife to meet the Pu knife in Xu Biao's hand, and the two knives were intertwined, making a loud sound of "dang", which was unusually crisp and loud in the wilderness.
The twin blades slashed through it, sending a barrage of sparks.
Zheng Tai suddenly felt that his arm was a little sore, but Zheng Tai was still able to parry, so Zheng Tai added force to his hand and bounced Xu Biao's hand away.
"Good thief! Eat me again! After Xu Biao praised it, he held the knife in both hands, slashed horizontally, and slashed towards Zheng Tai's waist.
"Reckless man! Look at the moves! Zheng Tai stood firmly on the ground, erected a big ring knife, and after using the knife shaft to open Xu Biao's Pu knife, he used his feet to rise, and swung the knife towards Xu Biao's front door.
Xu Biao took two steps back and dodged Zheng Tai's slash, followed by another "force split Huashan", slashing at Zheng Tai's head.
"Dang!" With a loud bang, Zheng Tai blocked Xu Biao's fatal blow again, and then swung his knife to counterattack.
Xu Biao is powerful, but the weapon is not suitable, and Zheng Tai's strength is slightly inferior, but his knife skills are stronger than Xu Biao, so the two fought for seven or eight rounds in a row, regardless of victory or defeat.
The two of them refused to back down, and they fought for their lives.
"What a pair of brave men!" At this time, Li Sanjian was carried by the "thieves" and arrived panting, and when he saw the two fighting, he couldn't help but praise loudly.
People who can live a few rounds in Xu Biao's hands are relatively rare in this world, Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.
At this time, Li Sanjian fell in love with Zheng Tai.
"Stop it!" So Li Sanjian urged the "bandits" who carried him to run down from the hillside, and Li Sanjian shouted to stop the two.
When they heard this, they both withdrew their weapons and didn't continue to fight, but they still clenched the big knife in their hands and stared at each other angrily.
"Saburo, what are you... Xu Biao saw clearly at this time that Li Sanjian was not tied up by the bandits, but was respectfully carried down the hillside, so he ran to Li Sanjian and asked in surprise.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm okay." Li Sanjian looked at Xu Biao and Zheng Tai and said with a smile: "In the future, they will all be their own brothers, so it can be said that they don't know each other." ”
Xu Biao looked at Li Sanjian with bull's eyes wide when he heard this, when did Li Daguan and the bandit become brothers?
San Lang is really San Lang, Xu Biao then thought very convincingly, his personality charm is simply incomparable, not only can he hook up with a beautiful woman, but also with a thief?
So Li Sanjian continued to be carried by the "bandits" and headed towards the county seat of Hui'an County. Cow Bar Literature Network
Xu Biao was still not at ease at this time, and he was guarding Li Sanjian with a knife.
。。。。。。。。。。
Soon after Li Sanjian and others left the river valley, they met Meng Guangxi, the county magistrate of Hui'an County, Yao Yu and others, Yao Yu and others had a joy when they met, and they all felt reborn after the catastrophe.
And Meng Guangxi, who had been "looking forward to" meeting Li Sanjian, saw that Li Sanjian was injured at this time, so he was so shocked that his face was like earth, and he hurriedly asked Li Sanjian for peace: "Xiaguan Meng Guangxi visited Li Fuzun, and the lower official greeted him late, so that the bandits disturbed Li Fuzun, your prime minister can support the boat in his belly, please forgive one or two." ”
Meng Guangxi said that, and looked at Zheng Tai and the others a few times.
These people obviously don't seem to be good people, they are all fierce and vicious, but some of them look like bandits? Didn't you say that Li Sanjian had only a few followers? Why did Li Sanjian suddenly have so many retinues that didn't look like good people? Meng Guangxi was puzzled.
At the same time, Li Sanjian is so young and handsome, which makes Meng Guangxi even more surprised, where does such Li Sanjian look like a murderer demon king in the outside world? Obviously like the son of a personable big family...
If it weren't for Li Sanjian's official card, Meng Guangxi would not have believed that this handsome little brother in front of him was the judge Li who was surprised in the Beijing Division...
"Meng County Order, please get up quickly." When Li Sanjian heard this, Wen Yan said to Meng Guangxi: "When this official first arrived in Hui'an County, Quanzhou, there are still many places to disturb the Meng County Order, just hope that the Meng County Order will not be troublesome to the official." ”
Li Sanjian learned from Zhong Cheng and others that the early collection of autumn taxes came from Meng Guangxi's mouth, so Li Sanjian guessed whether Meng Guangxi had anything to do with Zhong Cheng and others?
If Zhong Cheng and the others did not have the support of the county government of Hui'an County, then they would not be so arrogant and domineering, so Li Sanjian also guessed that Meng Guangxi must have some connection with Zhong Cheng and others.
But no matter what, these are all speculations after all, and it is reckless and extremely inappropriate to take down a county order based on speculation alone, so Li Sanjian did not attack on the spot, but said quietly.
"The lower officials don't dare, Li Fuzun came to the county, and the county all felt honored, and everyone in the county was looking forward to it, looking forward to Li Fuzun, like the hope of the great drought, and the hope of the rain for a long time. . . ." Meng Guangxi saw that Li Sanjian's attitude was relatively gentle, and he was a little relieved in his heart, so he made a big fuss. However, Li Sanjian's next sentence frightened Meng Guangxi so much that he almost collapsed to the ground.
"Oh, really?" Li Sanjian said lightly when he heard this: "When the official went to Hui'an County, it was attacked by bandits, which is also a long drought and a rainy day?" The attack on this official was investigated as the collusion of Zhongcheng in Meiyu Village with bandits, can the Meng County Order know about it? ”
Li Sanjian said and stared at Meng Guangxi tightly.
"Zhong Cheng? How did he... As soon as Meng Guangxi spoke, he suddenly reacted, Li Sanjian meant that if Meng Guangxi also knew about it, then Meng Guangxi was in collusion with Zhong Cheng and the bandits. And the court ordered officials to collude with thieves, then this is a serious crime, not only will they be dismissed from office, but they will even be in danger of their lives.
Meng Guangxi thought of this, his knees suddenly clumped, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Sanjian and cried: "Li Fuzun, wronged, the lower official committee really doesn't know about it, Zhong Cheng is a thief in Meiyu Village, and the lower official has always been in Hui'an County, on weekdays... On weekdays... This thief has rarely met with the lower officials, how can the lower officials know that this thief has hidden evil intentions and committed such a rebellious thing? ”
At this time, the people of Hui'an County smacked their tongues when they saw this.
Previously, when the county government saw that Li Sanjian was so young, they couldn't help but feel some contempt in their hearts, thinking that Li Sanjian was just a milky child, but at this time, Li Sanjian was so frightened that he kowtowed and cried with just one sentence... You must know that on weekdays, the Meng County Order is like heaven in their eyes.
It seems that Li Sannan is worthy of his reputation, and everyone thinks so in their hearts at this time.
"It's rare to meet, so we've met." Li Sanjian smiled slightly when he heard this.
"Li Fuzun... Meng Guangxi heard the words and said: "If Li Fuzun still doesn't believe in the lower officials, even if the lower officials take down Zhong Cheng and are full of old and young, and hand it over to Li Fuzun for personal trial, this matter will be known as soon as you ask." ”
Li Sanjian stared at Meng Guangxi for a long time when he heard this, wondering if what he said was true or false?
"Don't bother with the Meng County Order." Li Sanjian then turned his head and asked Zheng Tai, "Zheng Tai, did you take down Zhong Cheng?" ”
Taking a thief as a thief is really Li Sanjian's helpless move.
Li Sanjian has not yet arrived in Quanzhou to take office, and there is no soldier in his hands, so at this time, Li Sanjian ordered Zheng Tai to arrest Zhong Cheng and bring him to justice.
However, Li Sanjian also has advantages in doing this, that is, to judge whether Zheng Tai is sincere in taking refuge in this matter?
At this time, Li Sanjian suddenly had some remorse, that is, when he was removed from the post of Zhong Chenglizheng, why didn't he take this person down on the spot and punish him? Why was I so careless in the first place? So as to put himself, Yao Yu and others, and even Yaoyao's family in danger.
But fortunately, in addition to hanging the lottery, the above people can be said to be safe and sound, which is really a blessing in misfortune, Li Sanjian thought happily in his heart.
This kind of ill-conceived thing should be avoided as much as possible in the future, Li Sanjian secretly said in his heart, he almost broke into the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty alone, originally thought that after entering the officialdom, it would be a smooth road, but Li Sanjian only understood at this time that the road to the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty is really thorny step by step, so you must be careful to survive.
"Back to the words of the great officials!" Hearing this, Zheng Tai replied loudly: "The little one has ordered someone to take down Zhong Chengmanmen, and they are on their way back." ”
