Seeing that Liu Yu was still too lively, Li Zhi immediately lifted Yao above his head with both hands, and threw him out with a loud shout, only to hear a "bang" - the old and old Yu Yao fell on the cold bluestone road, and his mouth kept letting out a "woo" wail.

In the face of this horrific scene, the officials and the onlookers were stunned, standing like wood carvings and clay sculptures, looking at Liu Yu who was elated on the bank of the river.

"This ...... What to do...... It's a big deal! ”

Several elderly people woke up in shock, and hurriedly stepped forward to surround Yu Yao, who fell to the ground, squatted down, shook his hands to take his pulse, and measured his snort.

Then the people were in a commotion, and shouted at Liu Yu and his party like crazy,

"You are so bold that you dare to poke such a big hole!"

"That's right! A good man does a good job! ”

"Don't run!"

Several women in the team even shouted at the top of their voices, "You bold and reckless people have caused such a big disaster, but what can we do!" As he spoke, he sat down on the ground and cried wolf.

In this chaotic shouting, dozens of people had no time to care about anything else, holding the flat pole and already blocking Liu Yu's retreat, and the faces full of anger gritted their teeth and approached closer and closer.

Li Zhi saw that the crowd was angry and difficult to suppress, so he hurriedly rushed into the human wall with an arrow, stood up in front of Liu Yu, drew his sword in his hand and shouted, "There is something to say!" Hugh is going to hurt my son-in-law! ”

More than 100 people have been shouting and screaming there, and the whole scene has long been a mess, and a complete sentence cannot be heard clearly.

And Liu Yu, the young little emperor, also felt the grievances and incomprehension for the first time, and the original pleasure of "eliminating harm for the people" was swept away by this tidal roar.

These people who looked so pitiful were grateful to themselves a second ago, but how could they turn into baring teeth in a blink of an eye, hating to cut their faces with a thousand knives?

"Is this what the queen mother often calls human nature?"

Liu Yu remembered that Empress Dowager Feng had told him about the world outside the palace, especially when talking about these "untouchables", Empress Dowager Feng often showed a look of disdain and explained to Liu Yu-

"Humans are animals, no matter who they are looking to the end, they can be reduced to the element of ugliness. No matter how noble a moralist is worn, a saint mask of high morality, and what justice, friendship and self-sacrifice are all about, in a deep corner of the other person's heart, there is still a wishful thinking of self-preservation and the supremacy of interests.

Therefore, human nature is evil, especially for poor people! In their eyes, there are only interests and selfish desires, and the terrible degree of unscrupulous means to achieve the end is far greater than the bottom line in moral cognition. ”

At this moment, Liu Yu felt unprecedented humiliation, it seems that these people are determined to fight Yu Yao for their own safety - this official who was still squeezing them a second ago, regardless of their life or death, was embarrassed.

The surging folk men held pickaxes, shovels, and chisel rods and pushed forward and backward, surrounding him, Li Zhi and the guards in the core, and there was more laughter in the shouting.

Looking at the ugliness of them grinning at themselves, Liu Yu felt that he was a clown, a clown who had been stripped naked and was grandstanding in front of everyone.

At this moment, Liu Yu also understood: if he only reached out with an inexplicable sense of justice, then he would still become a second scaperoam and victim next time. It is precisely because these people have witnessed themselves being scapegoated that they are increasingly afraid.

On the contrary, only fierce officials like Yu Yao, who hold the power of life and death, will make them fear and awe.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu smiled, raised his head and laughed as if no one was around, but the laughter was somewhat mixed with helplessness and sadness......

At this moment, there was a dusty air in the south, and a group of cavalry came galloping with their swords raised, and the old men breathed a sigh of relief, "Great! The officers and soldiers have arrived! ”

The noisy crowd suddenly fell silent, and the people who were surrounding Liu Yu began to silently get out of the way.

It was Xiahou Jin who led the team, and the soldiers sent to monitor Yu Yao's mansion came to report that Yu Yao had taken people to the river embankment, so he chased them all the way to see what was going on, but he never thought that he would see this scene.

Xiahou Jin brought twelve personal soldiers, passed through the silent humanity with a waist knife, and looked at Yu Yao, who was lying in the arms of the people, who was dying, and said softly, "I'm still alive." ”

The elderly people and a few officials stepped forward and talked about Liu Yu and his party doing evil like robbers. The rest of the officials and a few people joined forces to carry it down from Yao.

The soldiers who brought it couldn't help but say, they came over early to see Liu Yu and his party.

"You guys are so daring!" Xiahou Jin looked at Liu Yu and his entourage, and said coldly, "You can know that you have committed a capital crime!" ”

"This general dares to ask the surname Gao?" Li Zhi smiled and put his sword into the sheath and arched his hand.

Seeing that Li Zhihu had a bear's back and a good appearance, Xiahou Jin also replied, "I am not talented, it is Xiahou Jin who joined the army in Guazhou, and the word Bayuan!" ”

"It turned out to be General Xiahou, who had heard of the tiger's courage and prestige, and admired it for ......a long time."

"Hey!" Seeing that Li Zhi wanted to greet him politely, Xiahou Jin hurriedly stopped the interruption and said coldly, "I see that you are extraordinary, I am afraid that you are not ordinary people?" But the country has national laws, since you have committed a crime, if there is anything else, please move to the Guazhou Yamen first! ”

The soldiers listened to the order, and were just about to put the rope on Liu Yu, but they were stopped by Xiahou Jin and said, "Don't be rough!" ”

He said to Liu Yu again, "My son is like a scholar, although he is a rough man who doesn't understand poetry and book etiquette, he also understands the principle of 'not being punished by scholars', so I also hope that you can cooperate with self-respect!" ”

"Understood, understood!" Liu Yu replied with a smile, and immediately ordered both the left and right to put away their swords, and he took the lead in following Xiahou back to the Guazhou Yamen.

In the evening, after helping Yu Yao to return to his house to rest, Xiahou Jin promoted him to the Yamen.

Looking at the few people and servants kneeling in the hall, and then at Liu Yu and his party who were standing upright, with a light breeze, Xiahou Jin said coldly, "Let's talk about it, let's talk about it first!" ”

Seeing Xiahou Jin pointing at him, Liu Yu stepped forward and smiled, "One person does things and one person does it!" People are what I beat, and they have nothing to do with them! ”

"Ho~ You're really direct!" Xiahou Jin sneered, and then asked the people and officials again.

But they all pointed at Liu Yu and his entourage and scolded, all kinds of foul language, adding oil and vinegar to constantly refresh Liu Yu's three views.

Finally hearing what they were talking about, Xiahou Jin frowned and asked Liu Yu, "They said that you are a spy of the enemy country, and they took the opportunity to sneak into the city in a vain attempt to cooperate with the outside world!" Is there such a thing? ”

"General Xiahou......" Li Zhi almost didn't laugh out loud, because he didn't get Liu Yu's permission, he never dared to reveal the identity of Liu Yu behind him, so he could only hold back a smile, "My son-in-law is just a passing merchant, and today I happened to see this group of poor people being oppressed, so I came to help!" Where does it come from? ”

"Having said that, after all, you did hit the Lord Taishou of Honshu!" As he spoke, Xiahou Jin suddenly asked the master who was making a record in the hall, "What kind of crime should this be guilty of according to the Da Xu Decree?" ”

The master stopped thinking for a while, and replied firmly, "Ling Chi is executed!" ”

"Ling Chi?" Xiahou Jin was stunned suddenly, thinking that he had misheard, and hurriedly added, "Lord Yu is still alive, but he has suffered some flesh and skin injuries. ”

"This ......" Master raised his head and thought for a while, and replied, "It's still Ling Chi ......"

Although Xiahou Jin and Liu Yu and others have never lived in life, they have no hatred with Yu Yao, they just look at Liu Yu's youth and frivolity, and they look like some scholars. Therefore, I wanted to spare his life with compassion, but I never thought that the master was so iron-faced and selfless, and he was not sophisticated, so he had to smile bitterly, "Can you hear me?" I didn't deliberately frame you, but in fact, the iron law of Daxu is like a mountain! Wait for Hugh to blame me......"

As he spoke, he was about to pick up the shocking wood to announce the verdict, but suddenly heard Liu Yu shouting, "Wait!" He immediately put down his startled eyes and asked, "What else do you have to say?" ”

Liu Yu said with a smile, "Since it's my Da Xu Decree, I have nothing to say!" But I dare to ask, can the judgment be handed over to a higher level of figures? ”

"One level higher?"

Xia Houjin frowned, and couldn't help but wonder secretly, "Is this kid crazy or stupid?" ”

Seeing that he was puzzled, Liu Yu continued, "After all, it is a matter of many lives for us and others, and since the adults are not too guarded to join the army, how can such a major matter be overstepped?" ”

Xiahou Jin understood what he meant, but he was not angry. After all, Liu Yu was right, he was just a member of the army, and it was not his duty to pronounce the life and death of these grass people, especially now that the enemy was in power, if it weren't for Yu Yao's serious injury and bedridden, he would be too lazy to take care of these trivial matters.

"Then who do you think is the right person to pronounce the sentence?"

Liu Yu said, "Lord Yu Yao is in bed, and now I am afraid that Han Xiaozhi is the only one who can have this authority on the territory of Guazhou!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Xiahou Jin sneered, "This is indeed good, but it is a pity...... That Han Xiaozhi is not in Nandaying at the moment! ”

"And when will he come back?"

"I don't know."

Liu Yu raised his head and laughed, "In this case, the adults can take us into custody first, and wait until he comes back or after Lord Yao's body has healed before making a decision!" ”

It's been a month since Han Yu went to Jingshi, and the mess he left behind has long left him too busy to take care of, not to mention that Yu Yao will definitely not be able to get out of bed in less than half a month with that kind of injury at his age! This person's actions are nothing more than a delaying tactic......

Xiahou Jin immediately asked, "Do you know General Han Xiaozhi?" ”

Liu Yu smiled noncommittally, and then changed his words, "Since the adults have no intention of judging the case, why do you need to mix in this troubled water?" Wouldn't it be better to deal with the enemy with peace of mind? ”

Speaking without intention, the listener has a heart. Although Xiahou Jin is a martial artist, he is not stupid, so he naturally heard the mystery in Liu Yu's seemingly insipid words.

Looking at this person's extraordinary appearance, unearthly appearance, and the taste of the north in his accent, he expected that this person was by no means an ordinary person, and he couldn't help but bow his head and ponder.
