The sound of the rain hitting the plantain is sonic and the night is sleepless.

Xu You lay down in his clothes, remembering many things in his past and present lives, and fell asleep when it was almost dawn. I don't know how long I slept, there was a quarrel outside the courtyard, Xu You woke up in a haze, sat up with a reflex in his upper body, his eyes were full of horror, the wound between his chest and abdomen was pulled by this, as if it was torn in pain, and almost instantly, a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Only then did he know that on that bloody night more than 20 days ago, the hideousness in the sword light and firelight, the screams of his relatives, and the scene of the entire Xu's Dock Fort stained red by blood, had been deeply engraved in the depths of his heart, and had never been weakened because of the change of soul.

"Autumnal equinox, autumnal equinox?"

Xu You shouted twice, but did not hear the response of the autumn equinox outside, got up and got out of bed in confusion, and walked to the gate of the courtyard without combing his loose bun.

"Go, go, get out of the way! You, you, and you, listen to me, the Xu family conspired against the clan, and the clan should have been punished, and it was only because of the mercy of the lord that the rest were not investigated. You barely picked up a small life, and dared to secretly give food to Xu You, a traitor? Don't want to live anymore, do you? ”

Xu You walked out of the courtyard gate and saw many people surrounding the door, all of whom were villagers from the surrounding villages, a middle-aged man in his forties stood with his back to him, wearing a high crown of lacquered yarn, a vermilion wide shirt of Ban Yunjin, holding a horse whip, commanding everyone, and his posture was extremely arrogant. On either side of him stood ten guards with long knives at their waists, dressed in gray turtle back armor, leather belts around their waists, and large trousers underneath, with blazing eyes and tiger backs, looking very strong.

An old man with a white beard sat on the ground, the fish basket in front of him turned on its side, and a fat carp lay weakly in the water stains on the ground, spitting foam for a while. Standing in front of the old man at the autumn equinox, facing the middle-aged man, his delicate little face was full of anger, and he said: "My Xiaolang has been pardoned by the lord for his crimes, and now he is recuperating from his injuries here, where is he still a traitor?" You're just ...... to be"

"Presumptuous!"

A look of anger flashed on the middle-aged man's face, his wrist flicked, and the horsewhip mixed with the whistling sound went straight to the face of the autumn equinox.

Xu You was in a high position in his previous life, and he had long been accustomed to being invisible, but when he saw this scene at first glance, he also felt that his eyes were about to split, and he was about to stop it loudly, but he saw that the autumn equinox was not afraid, his eyes were cold, and when the tip of the whip could touch the tip of his nose, his body was slightly on one side, and he actually avoided it. At the same time, he stretched out his slender right hand, and his index and middle fingers were in the shape of scissors, and he clamped the horsewhip without any difference.

The middle-aged man obviously didn't expect this seemingly weak little girl to have such skills, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately retreated hard, but the horsewhip seemed to be infused with molten iron, and it was stuck in the tips of his fingers and did not move!

The crowd of onlookers burst into laughter, without hiding their sarcasm, the middle-aged man's face was flushed, he threw away the horsewhip, and said angrily: "Xu's thief is not dead, even a servant girl dares to disobey orders and disrespect, and incite the people to make trouble, arrest me all!" ”

The ten guards stepped forward in unison, and unsheathed their knives, and the cold blades reflected the rising sun, flashing a dazzling cold light in front of the courtyard gate.

The autumn equinox bit his lower lip stubbornly, and he didn't retreat in the face of these soldiers, but there was already a trace of regret in his eyes. Yes, Lang Jun has just been exonerated if he was impulsive and affected him......

Autumn equinox, it's all your fault, you were beaten and beaten, why hide, why can't you bear it?

"Stop!"

At this moment, a peaceful and low voice sounded in everyone's ears, and the middle-aged man looked back angrily, and after seeing the person clearly, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he kicked his hind legs for two steps before standing firmly.

"It's Xu Lang......"

"It's really!"

"Wei Zhilang-kun is in good health?"

"If you can get up, you must be safe, happy, happy."

"Hey, it's hard to say, look at Xu Lang's face and demeanor, where is there still such a beautiful and majestic shore as before?"

"Listen, it looks like I'm coughing, it looks like the injury hasn't healed yet......"

"Where's the easy one? I heard that he killed eleven seventh-grade masters of the Shen family alone that night, and he was stabbed more than thirty times......"

"Huh? Is it? Is...... Hey, the heroes of Jiangdong are no better than Shen and Xu, and the Shen family can still show off their might, but how did the Xu family get to this step! ”

The surrounding crowd was discussing, and the middle-aged man's face was uncertain, showing that he was afraid of Xu You's outstanding skills. The autumn equinox didn't care about this, hurriedly rushed over, held Xu You's arm, and said, "Xiaolang, why did you come out, it's cold in the morning, I'll send you back to the room to rest first......"

"It's okay!" Xu You forcibly suppressed the urge to cough, patted the little hand of the autumn equinox to show that he was fine, and said in a low voice: "What happened?" ”

"I got up early in the morning and thought that I wanted to make stuffed fish for Xiaolang, so I went to the fish market to look for it." The autumn equinox has no money, and he only begged for a loan when he went to the fish market, Xu You felt pity in his heart, but he didn't speak, and listened to her continue: "But there is no suitable carp in the fish market, and I happened to meet Uncle Yu on the way back, he went out of the river to fish at night, and after selling it, he gave it to me, and kindly loaded it with a fish basket to help me send it back." I don't want to just arrive at the door, meet these wicked people, ask us a few words, and then lift the fish basket, and catch Uncle Yu to ask for guilt......"

Xu You understood the reason, walked to the old man who fell to the ground, helped him up, and said softly: "Uncle Yu, are you hurt?" ”

Yu Laohan was frightened and inexplicable, and said: "Don't dare to bother Xu Lang, I'm fine, it's okay." ”

After settling the old man Yu, Xu You stood up, staring at the middle-aged man, with a momentum that was not angry but mighty, and said, "Who are you?" Can you have a card from the province of Chinese books? ”

Chu system, with Zhongshu Province in charge of criminal matters, and with Xu You's past identity and the crimes committed, the local state and county law Cao has no right to intervene, only Zhongshu Province has the power to send people to supervise. The so-called plaque is a kind of letter made of wood, which is used as evidence to show the identity of officials, similar to various documents in later generations.

The middle-aged man came back to his senses at this time, and now the Xu family is no longer the Xu family he was at the beginning, and he is still afraid of what this little overlord will do, so he is bold and snorted coldly: "You are now just a household Qi people, what qualifications do you have to use the people of Zhongshu Province?" To tell you the truth, I am Chen Mu, the third-class steward of Shen Yuanjun's mansion, and I was ordered to visit Xu Langjun here, and by the way, I will see if there is anything that is not long-sighted to disturb Langjun's recuperation. ”

As soon as he heard the three words of Shen Yuanjun, Xu You had a violent emotion in his heart, hating not being able to eat the flesh and blood of the person in front of him, he inherited Xu You's memory, and naturally inherited his emotions, for the Shen family who destroyed the Xu clan, it was the water of the inclined Wujiang River that could not be washed away, and then looked at Chen Mu's eyes like snow on the high mountain that has not seen the sun all year round, becoming cold and ruthless, but his voice was still calm and unwavering, and said: "This is Yixing County, if anyone disturbs, they will report to the Fujun to know, don't bother you Wuxing Shen family to worry about this for me." ”

Chen Musen smiled and said, "I forgot to tell Lang Jun that in some time, Yixing County will cease to exist." ”

"What?"

"What does he mean by that?"

"Yixing County, gone?"

"Will the Lord abolish this county?"

At this time, people especially value their hometown, Yixing County, as the county of Jiangdong Xu's county, has been established for a hundred years and has given birth to several generations, and the emotion implanted in the bone marrow is something that Xu You can't understand, and he can also touch the emotions from the stunned faces of the surrounding people.

I have to say that Shen's hand is really sinister, although the Xu family has collapsed after that night, as long as Yixing is still there, it will be raised for decades at most, and there is still a chance to make a comeback, but once the county is laid off, from now on, there will be no Xu!

"You are talking nonsense, it can't be, it's impossible!" The autumn equinox apricot eyes were wide open, and there were tears rolling in his eyes, and he didn't believe Chen Mu's words at all.

"Humph!"

Chen Mu didn't explain, he still remembered the hatred that he was humiliated by the autumn equinox just now, waved his hand, and said, "Arrest this maid and take it back for interrogation." ”

Xu You stretched out his hand to stop the autumn equinox behind him, and the ten sword guards glanced at each other, looking at Xu You all wandering, but also intimidated by his former prestige, so they hesitated.

Xu Family Qilang, although he is fifteen years old, has practiced Xu's famous White Tiger Nine Jin Xuangong since he was a child, and his cultivation can be ranked on the nine-rank list, and he is known as the martial arts genius who is most likely to break through the five-grade before the age of twenty and enter the realm of "little grandmaster".

The corners of Chen Mu's lips showed a hint of viciousness, and he seemed to be a little proud, and said, "Above, I don't believe that he dares to resist!" ”

Xu You can get to the top level in the financial world, and he is a master of playing with people's hearts, and he immediately guessed Chen Mu's thoughts. He is forcing himself to do it, it would be better if he could kill a few guards, because once the trouble starts, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, at this sensitive moment, it is really indefensible, maybe there will be any recurrence of the Xu family's rebellion case that has just settled.

If it were according to the temperament of the previous owner of the body, he would definitely not endure such a bad spirit, when will the famous Qilangjun of the Xu family be bullied by a steward? Chen Mu must have expected this, so he deliberately provoked the incident.

But this time he is destined to be disappointed, and who can know that Xu Qilang in front of him has completely changed someone?

Xu You smiled slightly and said, "Dare to ask Steward Chen if he has ever been out of office, and what kind of products are set?" What's the adverbial? What is your current job? ”

The state of Chu inherited the Wei system, with nine products in the middle of the appraisal of figures, the election of talents, by the state, county, county and county officials after the visit, combined with the door and virtue to determine the "character" and "shape". "Product" is divided into upper, upper, upper, upper, middle, lower, lower, lower, and lower, but the category is only upper-grade and lower-grade, one of which is fictitious, belongs to the saint level, and no one can reach it; The above three grades are the upper grades, and the following are the lower grades. And "form" is the Zhongzheng official's comment on the virtue and ability of scholars, generally only one or two sentences, such as "genius Yingbo, bright and outstanding" and so on. The starting point of the high-grade is also high, often for the Qing important officials, the promotion is also fast, respected, the inferior for the turbid officials, the starting point is low, the promotion is slow, and is despised.

Chen Mu breathed for a moment, and only after half a sound did he look at him angrily, and said, "Xu Lang is insulting? ”

"What about insulting you?" Xu You stood with his hands behind his back and said loudly: "I forgive you for being a third-class manager, not only has no quality and no position, but also does not learn and has no skills, can you know that this dynasty has a system of 'quality clothes'?" ”

"Huh?"

Xu You walked slowly to Chen Mu, only five feet away from him, and said: "The color system stipulates that the princes and princes and the third grade and above "use purple", the fourth and fifth grades "use zhu", the sixth and seventh grades "use green", the eighth and ninth grades "use green", the foreign officials and concubines "use yellow", the trilogy, slaves and maids "use white", and the slaughter, peddlers and merchants can only "use black". You are just a steward in the Shen Envoy's Mansion, a slave, and it is already the grace of the Lord to serve white, and you dare to arrogant yourself in a red robe. But that's okay, but "non-officials are not allowed to wear brocade", you are not only dressed in brocade, but also use the high-quality Banyun brocade, "non-ministers are not allowed to wear high crowns", your identity, at most, wear a small crown, but wear a high crown of lacquer yarn, three crimes are punished together, and you are afraid that your envoy will not be able to save your life! ”

This knowledge does not come from the previous owner of this body, Xu You was also fascinated by history in his previous life, and knew that the color system began in the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, but different dynasties had different regulations on color, such as yellow, which gradually evolved into the special color of the royal family after Tang Dezong, but Zhu Zi has always belonged to high-ranking officials, and Huang Bai has always been relatively lowly, such as the sentence "Yellow Messenger White Shirt" in "Charcoal Seller", one is a eunuch, the other is a minion, all of them are slave level, and "a white coat" It is also often used to describe ordinary people. Therefore, Xu You's temporary fabrication of the Chu State color system should not be far from the facts, even if it is flawed, it is enough to intimidate Chen Mu.

Chen Mu was intimidated by Xu You's momentum, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he said: "Regulation is ...... And how? Everybody wears ...... like this."

The color system runs through thousands of years, but there are not many dynasties that have really been strictly implemented, especially like the Chu State, which has been turbulent for decades before settling down, and is not very particular about this aspect.

But the problem is that the national legal system is the national legal system, and it is one thing for no one to care, it is another thing to really compare it to the real one, especially like the Shen and Xu families, after that night's bloody storm, they have become mortal enemies, and they will make trouble, Chen Mu is almost certain that his own envoy will not give the enemy a handle for a small person like him.

"Really?" Xu You turned his head lightly and said, "Autumn equinox, go to the Taishou Mansion to sue Chen Mu and others for trespassing the etiquette system and having bad intentions." ”

Everyone can use the big killing weapon of the buckle hat, but it depends on who uses it, and the effect is very different. Just now Chen Mu wanted to catch the autumn equinox, the reason was to incite the people to make trouble, but what the truth is, you can find it out at a check, it is just the villain's thinking and knowledge. But the hat that Xu You buttoned for him was a certainty, if he really wanted to sue the Taishou Mansion, don't forget that this is the county of the Xu family, he is a slave of the Shen family, and the end can be imagined.

"Let's go!" The more Chen Mu thought about it, the more angry he became, and when he saw the carp on the ground that was still wagging its tail, he stepped on it with one foot and stepped on it, and said: "Hmph, Xu You, don't be complacent, the Lord only gave you a month to recuperate, and there are three or five days left. ”

"My fish, you, you ......" Qiu Equinox looked at the fish on the ground, only to feel as if his heart was about to crack, and he was about to rush up to fight with Chen Mu with red eyes, Xu You grabbed her body, waved his long sleeves, and said coldly: "Don't send it!" ”

Waiting for Chen Mu and the others to leave, Xu You folded his hands, bowed his head, and said: "Fellow villagers, Wei Zhi was young in his early years, and he was rampant in the county, harassing neighbors. These days have been helped by all the neighbors, with rice food, the toothless and unforgettable, but there is a coming day, it will be a spring to report! ”

The crowd of people around, regardless of men, women, and children, bowed their heads at the same time, and then watched Xu You turn around and leave, the dilapidated firewood door slowly closed, and I don't know who whispered:

"He will restore the Xu clan and destroy the Shen clan every day, and he will be this son!"
