After resting in the inn for a long time, Liu Heng took Yifang to the place where the righteous rangers often haunted. In fact, he didn't plan to just walk around and meet them, but he wanted to see where those people were.

When you go to the place where the rich and noble live, the streets there are obviously much more luxurious and beautiful than ordinary streets. From time to time, Yifang is attracted by the gadgets on the street, and looking here and there, it is not so much an investigation as a shopping.

But when they got here, the rangers didn't see it, but saw some men dressed in official clothes. Although they appear to be officials, they give the impression of scoundrels, even in their behavior.

At this time, these people were surrounding a group of women, and one of the leaders was picking up the woman's chin with a very frivolous movement. Some people were watching, but no one stepped forward, just watched quietly.

"The little girl looks so standard, why don't you go back with me and be a little wife, I will definitely not treat you badly." The official who carried the woman's chin was laughing, and his face was a little ruddy, perhaps because he had drunk alcohol during the day.

"Official, please let me go, I still have an old mother to take care of at home." The woman was very frightened, and retreated again and again, but was blocked by the people behind her.

"That's right, if you marry me, your mother will be my mother-in-law, and I will take good care of her for you." The official smiled so brightly that he pinched the girl's chin and was about to put it up, and his nose sniffed vigorously, and his mouth overflowed indiscriminately, "It smells so good!" ”

Liu Heng and Yifang passed by here, and were naturally attracted by such a big movement, they squeezed into the crowd and casually pulled the onlookers to inquire.

"This lady, what's going on?"

"Look at the way you look, you're from out of town, right?" The eldest lady looked at a few of them, "I definitely don't know, the officials here are rampant, and the robbery of people's daughters happens from time to time, and everyone is not surprised." ”

"Robbing people's daughters has always been an act of banditry, how can officials do the same?" Liu Heng was very puzzled, he sat in the court for a long time, he hadn't seen the situation outside, and he secretly thought that the country and the people were safe.

"Now that the new emperor has been on the throne for two years, he has vigorously eliminated the bandits, which is a good thing, but there are fewer bandits, but the officials are stronger." The eldest lady pointed to those officials, "They are all people under the magistrate of our area, and the magistrate has his back to Master Fu in the court, so naturally no one dares to offend them." ”

"Can officials run rampant and rob people's daughters? Did they do all this with the consent of the magistrate of whom you spoke? Liu Heng's fist had already been pulled up.

"I guess so, everybody says so. I heard that Master Fu in the court had great power and was deeply trusted by the emperor, so these magistrates were attached to him, but the emperor was far away, and they were also one thing in front of Lord Fu and one thing behind his back. The lady added another sentence when she said this, "I don't understand these things, I listen to what others say." I've got to go home and take care of the kids, so take your time and see, this girl will definitely be snatched back in the end. ”

"In broad daylight, such an act is really hateful." If Liu Heng didn't see it, it would be fine, but now that he is under his nose, he must be in charge.

Liu Heng pulled Yifang away from the crowd and stepped forward, seeing his temperament, the people next to him made way for him. The officials also noticed the unusual situation here, and they all turned to look this way. Their eyes first fell on Liu Heng, and then turned to Yifang.

"Don't you feel ashamed that a few people are eating the food of the imperial court, but they are harming the people here?"

"Who are you, dare to meddle with Lao Tzu's affairs?" The leader put down the hand holding the girl and walked up to Liu Heng with a swagger, looking very unruly.

"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that if you do this, if it reaches the court, it will definitely cause an uproar. When the time comes, not only you, but even the people above you, will not be able to eat and walk around. Liu Heng's words were neither humble nor arrogant.

"Really? You kid knows a lot. The leader walked around Liu Heng, "Lao Tzu told you, don't talk to Lao Tzu about what you have and don't have, the court is the court, this is here, Lao Tzu is a soil emperor here, you can rob whoever you want, you can't care." ”

"I'm going to take care of it today." Liu Heng sneered, his expression revealing disdain.

The man caught his expression, and immediately became angry, stepped forward and patted Liu Heng's cheek with his hand: "Lao Tzu, what can you do?" You can't even control yourself, can you still take care of this little girl? ”

Wu Ping originally stood in the back row with the eunuchs and guards, but when he saw that the leader was so ignorant of life and death, his heartbeat dropped by half a beat, and he was about to rush forward. But Liu Heng gave them a look and signaled them not to act rashly. After all, this is in the people, if the matter is big, they will not be able to do the matter of investigating the righteous rangers.

Wu Ping understood, stretched out his hand to block back, and the eunuchs and guards stopped.

"Since you want this girl, why don't I exchange it for you with money, and buy her from you?" Liu Heng intends to settle this matter peacefully, in short, save this woman first, and as for how to punish these people in the future, just leave it to the corresponding officials to deal with.

"Lao Tzu has money, and now I don't want money, I want beauties." The leader originally wanted to refuse, but he glanced at Yifang, "If you really want to save her, you can exchange it for another more beautiful beauty." ”

Seeing the man's squinting gaze swirling around Yifang's body, Liu Heng frowned vigorously, and his fists were clenched. He held back his anger before squeezing out two words: "No." ”

"Is there a place for you to speak? Lao Tzu said that the line is the line! The leader seemed to be enraged, and walked crookedly, about to pounce on Yifang.

Yi Fang was so shocked that he took a step back, Liu Heng couldn't bear it anymore at this time, and quickly jumped in front of the man, and twisted his wrist all at once.

"Whoa...... Hurt! The man immediately let out a series of exclamations, his expression contorted, and he looked in pain.

Liu Heng used a lot of strength this time, if that person was just unreasonable, he wouldn't be so angry. Unexpectedly, this person was so bold that he still wanted to get involved in Yifang, which made him have to take action.

"Let go of Lao Tzu, or Lao Tzu will kill you!" The leader was still struggling under Liu Xing, but this didn't help, but made Liu Heng pull him tighter.

These people are called officials, but they actually loot the people, pamper them, and they don't have much intense training, so they are naturally no match for Liu Heng. No matter how he struggled, he could never get out of Liu Heng's control.

After a long time, it was probably impossible to hold on, and the man's attitude softened: "You, you let me go first, we have something to say." ”

"I didn't want to talk well just now, but now I want to talk about it again?" Liu Heng deliberately asked him.

"What the hell do you want?" The man's wrist had been pinched with a bruise.

Liu Heng sneered: "I don't want to do anything, as long as you let go of that girl and apologize to my wife, I will spare your life." ”

"Okay, you can do whatever you want." The man just wanted to quickly break free from Liu Heng's restraints, and as soon as his request was raised, he immediately agreed.

Liu Heng let go of his wrist, but as soon as he let go, the man pulled out the matching knife on his body and slashed at him. It's just that Liu Heng had already expected this and had already prepared in advance. He dodged sideways, snatching the knife from the man's hand and slashing it directly across his neck.

The man immediately raised his hands high: "I'm just joking, don't take it seriously, put the knife down first." ”

"Let your people let that girl go, hurry up!" Liu Heng no longer trusted his nonsense this time, and the knife was across his neck, never moving half a minute.

"Didn't you hear what he said? Let the woman go! The man yelled behind him, and the others made way for the girl.

She had been frightened to the point that her little face turned pale, and when she was suddenly saved at this time, she was naturally full of joy, and she was about to go out. But halfway through, I felt that it was inappropriate, so I turned back, walked in front of Liu Heng, and sincerely saluted him to express my gratitude.

"Alright, now you can let me go!" The man moved an inch under the knife, and Liu Heng immediately put the knife on his neck.

"It's not over yet! Now kneel down and kowtow to my wife. ”

"You!" The man was angry for a while, Xu had been domineering for so long, and he had never been treated like this. But he looked at the shiny blade around his neck, finally gritted his teeth, and knelt down on his knees.

"It's my fault, please forgive this lady." He said this reluctantly, only knelt down and stood up immediately.

"Madame is pleased with this apology?" Liu Heng deliberately asked Yifang.

Yi Fang naturally cooperated with him, so he shook his head and said, "What apology?" I didn't hear that. ”

"It seems that your apology is not good enough, and my wife does not accept it. As I said just now, I asked you to kowtow to my wife and ask for guilt, and you stood up before you kowtowed, which is really insincere. Liu Heng deliberately put the knife on his neck so that he could feel the cold touch.

"Okay, count yourself ruthless." The man glared at Liu Heng viciously, and finally knelt down again, no longer caring about any face, and kowtowed three times to Yifang, "What happened just now is all my fault, please forgive Mrs." ”

"That's pretty much it." Yi Fang finally nodded, and Liu Heng removed the knife from his neck.

Seeing that he was safe, the man hurriedly ran away with the others, ran two steps but turned around, and left a vicious sentence: "You wait, I will let you walk around without eating." ”

This threat did not have much effect, but made the surrounding onlookers applaud together, and it was rare for someone to make them deflated.
