Ji Datao stepped on the head of the person to come to the rescue, after all, it was a little too late, and he was still three feet away from Yang Siqi, when he saw Yang Siqi's figure jumping out of the crowd, raising his hand to play a hidden weapon.

"Be careful", Ji Datao shouted loudly. The surrounding crowd scattered in panic, and Ji Datao had to jump off the ground. Yang Siqi jumped up, Yuan Decheng naturally saw it, and knew that it was not good to dodge, but his body did not obey the call, and he stood and looked at Yang Siqi in a daze. Qi Chen, the headcatcher king standing beside him, slammed into him with all his strength, but he didn't have time to pull the knife, and the sheath was horizontal in front of him.

"Du", the money dart pierced through the scabbard, made a soft sound of "dang", and cut the knife in the sheath hard. Wang Qichen felt a strong push, he couldn't hold the knife in his hand, and he fell backwards with the knife.

Yang Siqi shook his hand and flew out two money darts, one was cut on the blade, and the other hit the tip of the scabbard, the circular arc slid on the scabbard, and the direction changed and flew out diagonally. Originally, Yuan Decheng was hit by Wang Zhu's head and got out of the range of the money dart, but it happened that the money dart changed direction and flew towards him diagonally, but before Yuan Decheng could respond, he felt a cold shoulder, and looked in a panic, only to see a blood line rushing out, Yuan Decheng didn't know how serious his injuries were, and he was exhausted for days, and he fainted to the ground with a scream.

Yang Siqi fell from the sky, a vicious wind hit his back, Ji Datao had already arrived, and with the help of momentum, the knife in his hand stabbed Yang Siqi in the back of the heart. Yang Siqi didn't turn back, his figure rushed forward, the tip of the knife was five inches away from his back, and he ran two feet away but still couldn't shorten the distance.

Ji Datao's heart was secretly shocked, the assassin's pace was agile, his movements were erratic, and he couldn't get close to him with all his might, so he had met a master.

Yang Siqi leaned into his arms and took out a black scarf to cover his face, and had already rushed to the outer wall of the county office, with a little foot, his body fell on the wall, and then he jumped onto the roof of the Yin Hotel, and said with a long smile: "Farewell, don't send it." ”

Ji Datao only saw Yang Siqi's background, and saw that the assassin's skills were not opponents, so he simply didn't chase after him, and came to the county yamen to check. There was already a big chaos in front of the door, some people hid in a panic, some people were lying on the ground in panic, and some officials were holding waist knives in front of them.

Although he knew that the other party was his own person, Wang Qichen didn't dare to be careless at all, stepped forward to stop Ji Datao, and said respectfully: "Thank you for your help, and please show your identity." ”

Ji Datao nodded and said with appreciation: "I didn't expect the county government to have talents like you, it's good to respond in time, but it's a little worse." This official is Duanzhou Longwei Prefecture Tongji Datao. ”

Saying that, Ji Datao took out the waist card from his arms and shook it in front of Wang Qichen. Wang Qichen knew that Long Wei's waist card was a long strip, three inches long and half wide, decorated with fire cloud patterns next to it, divided into gold, silver, copper, iron, wood and other five kinds, the state was sitting on one side, using a silver waist card, the material in front of him was silver, and the four words in the middle "Duanzhou State Unity" should not be wrong. Immediately clasped his fists again and saluted: "Where is the duty, my lord forgives the sin." ”

Ji Datao put away the waist card, reached out and took the waist knife from Wang Qichen's hand, saw a copper coin deeply embedded in the scabbard, and dialed the knife and found that the knife was stuck. Forcefully pulled off the copper coin and pulled out the knife, and found that the blade of the knife had been pierced by the copper coin to a depth of one minute. The steel knives used by the officials are all good knives, and the knife of Wang Zhutou is a good knife, and it is difficult to have scratches on the ordinary sword, and a small copper coin can be thrown out by hand to go deeper, and this hand strength is really terrifying.

Returning the knife to Wang Qichen, Ji Datao's heart was dark, and the assassin's skills rose two more levels in his heart, and he could compete with the offerings in the Dragon Guard. Stepping to Yuan Decheng's side, Yuan Xianling was still unconscious at the moment, Ji Datao checked the injury on the shoulder, five points into the flesh, the wound bulged high, I don't know if it hurt the muscles and bones, and his life is worry-free.

There was a mess in front of the gate, Ji Datao frowned and said to Wang Qichen: "Lord Yuan should be too frightened, you let people carry him inside." ”

Everyone lifted Yuan Decheng up with seven hands and eight legs, Wan Huaixing only then stepped forward to salute tremblingly, Ji Datao had no kung fu to be noisy, nodded to him, and said directly to Wang Qichen: "Wang Zhutou, according to Long Wei's investigation, someone secretly instigated the disaster victims to rebel, and today's assassination of Yuan County is very likely to be the idea of this gang of thieves." Under the public court, the county order was assassinated, and the victims were bound to be uneasy, and at this time it was urgent for someone to come forward to appease, so Wang Zhutou immediately took the officials around to tell the victims that Lord Yuan was safe, calm people's hearts, and strengthen vigilance to prevent turmoil. ”

Wang Qichen was ordered to leave with more than 20 servants. Ji Datao turned his face to Wan Huaijie and said: "Deputy Envoy Wan, just now Yuan County ordered that the transfer envoy Yamen recruited people to repair the embankment, and now the victims are gathered outside the south gate, Lord Yuan is injured and can't move, only bother Lord Wan, you can take someone away." ”

Wan Huaijie trembled his lips and answered "yes", but he couldn't move his steps, and the officials of the county government were all as pale as dirt, lest they be selected. Ji Datao saw that these people were like waste, and he was angry, and Yilu Longwei was not allowed to interfere in local government affairs, but the matter was urgent, and Ji Datao couldn't take care of it, so he asked sharply: "Where is the county?" ”

In addition to the county order, there are also county officials, chief bookkeepers, county lieutenants and other officials, and a thin man arched his hand and replied in an astringent voice: "Your Excellency, the lower official has seen the state commander to Quanhong." ”

Ji Datao instructed: "Lord Yuan was stabbed, the victims are not clear, it is very likely to cause turmoil, and I am tired of taking people to the four gates to the Lord and the chief bookkeeper and the county lieutenant respectively. ”

Xiang promised to the county, and the chief bookkeeper, the county lieutenant and others respectively led people to take grain from the treasury and load it to Simen to give porridge.

A small official rushed over and said, "Lord Yuan is awake, please ask Lord Zhou Tong to go and speak." ”

Ji Datao took a big step into the county government. Yuan Decheng was carried nearby in the Yin Hotel, and the doctor had already taken out the money dart on his shoulder for him and bandaged the wound. Because of excessive fright and loss of a lot of blood, Yuan Decheng's face became sallow and ugly, and when he saw Ji Datao enter the door, Yuan Decheng struggled to get up and salute.

"Yuan County's order doesn't have to be polite." Ji Datao said: "My lord has been running day and night for disaster relief matters during this period of time, Ji is quite impressed, and when he is busy with this period of time, the court will definitely reward him." ”

"Yuan doesn't expect any awards, as long as the victims can die a few less, Yuan will be at ease." Yuan Decheng laughed self-deprecatingly: "Yuan Mou is bold, and often recites Jiang Zhuangyuan's poem of 'If a scholar is a marquis of ten thousand households', he longs to be able to make contributions on the battlefield, but he was scared and fainted by a small dart. ”

Ji Datao didn't make much noise, and said: "Lord Yuan just announced the recruitment of 20,000 victims to repair the river embankment, and the victims are waiting outside the south gate at this moment. Lord Yuan was injured, and I originally intended to let the Wan adults of the transfer envoy Yamen go to the top, but I think that Wan Daren is a straw bag, and it can't be done at all. If Lord Yuan can walk, please go to the south gate to appease the victims, I am afraid that someone is secretly instigating and inciting the victims to rebel. ”

The four words of the disaster victims' rebellion made Yuan Decheng's face change again, from yellow to white, Linhua County focused on 150,000 or 60,000 disaster victims, if these people were encouraged to rebel, then no matter how much hard work they had done before, it would all be in vain, and there would be no eggs under the nest, even if they escaped with their lives, the court would be punished heavily. Yuan Decheng struggled to stand up and said, "Master Ji, go." ”

When the assassination occurred in front of the yamen, Jiang Anyi had already rushed to the south gate with the flow of people, and after thinking about it all night, Jiang Anyi decided to go to the river embankment first to see the situation. The Yuanhua River burst its embankment, and it is self-evident that there are shortcomings in the river work, and as for the seriousness of the shortcomings, we must see it before we can know it.

Jiang Anyi's understanding of the maladministration of the river workers is mostly known from the mouth of the senior brother Fan Shiben, and the easiest to check the disadvantages is the materials, the things on the account book Jiang Anyi knows that the transfer will make the yamen will definitely do seamlessly, and if you want to check the cheats, you must see the materials and labor on the river embankment with your own eyes. In order to make it easier to act and find out the truth, Jiang Anyi changed into coarse cloth clothes with patches, his complexion was black, and there was no flaw in the disaster victims.

Out of the south gate, the open space outside the city gate has focused on nearly 20,000 migrant workers, everyone excitedly talked about repairing the embankment to get eight taels of grain a day, cooking porridge can make a family survive a day, and then four or five days, and when the relief food of the court arrives, everyone's hard life will be over, and the idea of returning to the garden to live again.

Although the sky did not clear, the rain finally stopped, and the people standing in the mud finally had a glimmer of smile on their sad faces, just like the sky above their heads, and finally had a glimmer of hope to live.

Jiang Anyi walked around, his ears were collecting useful information, in addition to the voice of gratitude to Yuan Xianling, it was cursing for the transfer of the yamen to be shoddy, deducting wages, walking half a pillar of incense, and listening to a lot of useful things, such as the transfer of the yamen are all corrupt officials, only the pawn Li is a good official, and what else is the jade prince who stays with flowers all day long, the wealthy businessmen in the city, Master He, Ye Ye and others rely on collusion to make the yamen make a windfall, but this disaster relief has escaped from the city, blackening the conscience and so on.

Someone in the crowd whispered, and when he saw Jiang Anyi approaching, he stopped his voice and looked at him with a vigilant gaze, Jiang Anyi noticed that something was wrong, and before he could pay attention, the shock began.

The commotion came from the city gate, and then spread outward, and soon Jiang Anyi heard from the messy words, the county commander Yuan Decheng was assassinated, and his life and death were unknown.

The crowd was like a swarm of fried wasps, "buzzing" and restless, a kind of uneasiness brewing quietly. Soon, Jiang Anyi heard several different rumors in his ears, "The transfer made the yamen afraid that Lord Yuan would accuse them of corruption to the Qin Mission, and killed Lord Yuan to kill them", "The black-hearted traders were robbed of grain by Lord Yuan for disaster relief, and sent killers to assassinate Lord Yuan", "The robbers of Xiaozhong Mountain came down the mountain to rob the grain, and they were ready to take people back to the mountain"......

These rumors were not worth arguing about, but in the mouths of the frightened victims, they became more and more terrifying. No matter how loudly Wan Huaixing announced that "Lord Yuan is fine" and "the Yamen of the transfer envoy did not send someone to assassinate Lord Yuan", the victims did not believe it.

The crowd is like a tide, and Wan Huaixing and others will be drowned, and a riot will occur. Jiang Anyi was in the middle of it, and he couldn't think of a way to stop it for a while, even if he took out the gold medal, a few people would listen to him in the crowd.
