The county seat of Changshan is nearly ten times larger than the county seat of Fanyang under the jurisdiction of Zhao Yi, and the willow trees planted along the street are only bare branches within reach, and their clothes are tattered and dusty, leaving only the pair of godless eyes turning with a little angry homeless people, who are dragging the branches with black claws, reaching the branches with branches and leaves, showing joy on their faces, and hurriedly picking off the leaves and sending them into their mouths.

The people walking in the streets ignored the displaced people, and one of the soldiers drove them away.

Zhao Yi looked at the helpless eyes of these homeless people, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart. This was a dark age of fierce land annexation, cruel exploitation by landlords, heavy government forced labor, and unbearable politics.

For Zhao Yi, who came here from another era, he is quite familiar with this history. From the Yellow Turban Uprising to the Return of the Three Kingdoms, the time spanned more than 90 years.

There was a commotion in front of me as I walked, and when I raised my eyes, the pedestrians on the road avoided each other, and a woman in ragged clothes was running desperately towards this side with a small and thin body on her back, and the child on her back was constantly stuffing food into her mouth.

Behind him, there were more than a dozen big men shouting and chasing: "Stop, don't run!" ”

A woman's strength is not as durable as a man's, let alone a man on her back. Panting and running a few steps, he didn't take a steady step and fell to the ground.

The strong man who followed closely behind him surrounded the two people tightly: "Damn pariahs, dare to steal!" ”

The woman, who was surrounded by more than a dozen people, hurriedly held the child in her arms, and her voice trembled: "The villain is not like stealing, the child has not eaten for three days. If you don't eat something, the child will die. I beg you to have mercy on us and let us go. ”

A fierce-looking young man at the head kicked the woman with his foot: "Hmph, you untouchables, if you die, you will die." As he spoke, he raised his iron sword.

No one will help for a few homeless people, and there are indifferent looks on people's faces, and this kind of thing doesn't seem to happen once or twice.

Seeing the fall of the iron sword, the woman had closed her eyes in despair. At this time, from different directions, two voices came: "Stop! ”

Zhao Yi was stunned, turned his head to look in the direction of another voice, and said in his heart Besides me, who else has such a sense of justice.

It was a young man who looked like a scholar who spoke, and Zhao Yi and the scholar looked at each other and nodded.

The man looked up and saw Zhao Yi riding a horse, and just wanted to say a few arrogant words, when he saw the soldier standing behind Zhao Yi was stunned, and put away his long sword: "Who are you?" ”

Dian Wei was very dissatisfied with this person: "Bold! "I walked over and picked the man up." Dare to be rude to the court officials! ”

Zhao Yi ignored the man's panicked eyes, but said to himself: "The laws of the Han Dynasty, what is the crime of killing people for no reason? ”

"Death penalty." The young man stepped out of the crowd.

No matter how arrogant that man is, he doesn't dare to go against the officials and soldiers, as long as he dares to move his fingers, Zhao Yi will not hesitate to label them as a rebel. I wanted to say a few words begging for mercy, but Dian Weiler's was too tight. Especially after the young man said the word "death penalty", his strength increased a lot.

It was difficult for him to breathe, let alone speak.

The remaining people said, "My lord, please forgive us for being rude. We are all the guardians of Lord Chengdongjiang, please raise your noble hand. ”

"Master Jiang?" Zhao Yi scratched his head, "I haven't heard of it." However, even Master Jiang has to talk about the laws of the Han Dynasty. "Although the current situation is turbulent, the Han Dynasty has not yet fallen, and Zhao Yi has been stuck in the laws of the Han Dynasty, which makes it difficult for these people to speak. To say that it is to defy the laws of the Han Dynasty, that is to rebel.

Dian Wei didn't care so much, and threw the man's body to the ground. The rest of the people swallowed their saliva and hurried back.

Zhao Yi got off the horse and personally helped the two homeless people up, the woman was very excited, and kept thanking Zhao Yi: "Thank you for saving your life." Zhao Yi waved his hand and let the woman go. The homeless people standing on the street looked at Zhao Yi a little wrong. After walking so many places, Zhao Yi was the first official who was willing to stand up for the displaced people.

The young man came over and bowed and asked, "Where do you serve?" ”

After Zhao Yi said truthfully, he asked the young man: "Your Excellency is a cloth cloth, and it is really commendable to have justice in your heart. May I ask your surname? ”

The young man replied politely, "Xu Fu." The two talked for a few words, and Xu Fu said that Changshan still had something to do and said goodbye to Zhao Yi.

Sure enough, Zhao Yi did not expect, and the old man surnamed Jiang did not come back to retaliate. As long as a person is a little sensible, there will be no friction with the government for the sake of a domestic slave.

Zhou Ping has a warehouse and acquaintances here, and after putting the hydrosol into the warehouse, Zhou Ping's nervous face suddenly relaxed: "My lord, this place is safe, don't dare to delay your time." Please go back first. Zhou finished the things here, and returned to Fanyang to thank the adults for their help. ”

What Zhou Ping said is reasonable, Fanyang County does have a lot of things that need to be handled. Zhao Yi and Zhou Ping said goodbye and left here with Dian Wei.

At this time, the sun is twilight, and the sky is dark. Zhao Yi and the others ran towards the city gate, and when they turned the corner to get from the alley to the avenue, a figure appeared from the depths of the alley and grabbed Zhao Yi's hand.

It was Xu Fu, Xu Fu's face was pale, and there was still blood flowing out of his abdomen, "Brother Xu Fu, what's wrong?" ”

Xu Fu opened his mouth to speak, but he heard a voice from the side: "Chase quickly, don't let that person run away." ”

"Don't worry, he's already injured and won't be able to run far." Noisy footsteps rang out.

Zhao Yi's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly greeted Dian Wei: "Quickly change his clothes." ”

Xu Fu was put on a military uniform and mixed in the crowd, Zhao Yi asked Dian Wei to change into Xu Fu's clothes, and whispered a few words in Dian Wei's ear.

Dian Wei nodded and left the place. Zhao Yi left unhurriedly with people.

The city gate was close at hand, but Zhao Yi was blocked by the county lieutenant: "Lord Zhao, the city gate is about to close at this time, what are you going out for?" ”

Zhao Yi's face was as usual: "There is an urgent report from Tanma, the Yellow Turban Thief will attack Zhuo County in the near future, and I will go back and deploy as soon as possible." ”

A person beside the county lieutenant glanced at Zhao Yi and said to the county lieutenant: "My lord, this Lord Zhao has a friendship with tonight's assassin, I saw them talk during the day. ”

Zhao Yi's reason was legitimate, and the county lieutenant's hand that ordered his soldiers to get out of the way was raised, and this person's words made the county lieutenant frown: "Lord Zhao really doesn't hide it, just now Master Jiang in the east of the city was stabbed by an assassin, and we are arresting the assassin." The Guardian said that you have crossed paths with the Assassins, and I would like to check out the soldiers under your command, but I wonder what the adults think? ”

Zhao Yi glanced at the county lieutenant: "Oh? Do you think that the Assassins are hiding among my soldiers? Say that I, Zhao Yi, deliberately harbor the assassins? As he spoke, Zhao Yi gestured to the soldier with his hands behind his back.

Those soldiers understood, and the head of the gun was always aimed at the county lieutenant, and they had a very hands-on posture.

The soldiers under the county lieutenant were also immediately ready, and the crossbowmen in the city aimed their feathers and arrows at Zhao Yi.

Seeing this tense posture, the county lieutenant was also afraid of a conflict between the two sides, so he waved his hand and explained: "Lord Zhao, don't misunderstand, I'm afraid that the assassins will be mixed in the adult's ranks." "He also said that the two sides would lose both sides and that it would be beneficial to anyone." Let me check it out, and let me have an account of the people of the city. ”

Fighting with the county lieutenant, Zhao Yi couldn't take any advantage here. Moreover, the county lieutenant has already said it to this point, even if the assassin is discovered, it will be said that the assassin injured the soldiers and mixed it in, and it has nothing to do with Zhao Yi. If Zhao Yi shirks again, he will be too ignorant.

"In that case, please take care of it." Zhao Yi waved his hand to let these soldiers put away their weapons, and he also took two steps to the side to facilitate the search of the county lieutenant.

The county lieutenant pushed the Jiang family's house slave to the front: "It's rare that Lord Zhao is so reasonable, you have to look carefully." ”

The man answered, his eyes crossed the soldier's face, and he probed a dozen people, and a figure suddenly appeared in the alley next to him. He paused for a moment on the avenue, then quickly ran to the side.

"My lord, the assassin is there!" The man called out to the lieutenant, who was dressed exactly like the Assassin had been wearing at night. At this time, the sky was hazy, and although he didn't see the assassin's appearance clearly at the glance just now, he still saw the red blood stains on his clothes.

Saying that, the man hurriedly chased after him, and the county lieutenant also hurriedly asked people to follow.

Zhao Yi walked over and stopped the county lieutenant: "We can go out of the city now, right?" ”

"Absolutely." Without even thinking about it, the lieutenant asked the soldiers to open the gates. He then led his soldiers in quick pursuit in the direction of the Assassin's escape.

Out of the city gate, Zhao Yi stared at Xu Fu, who was in a coma due to excessive blood loss, thinking that this person was a scholar, but he really didn't expect that he could still do something to assassinate.

Dian Wei shook off the pursuing soldiers, threw the bloody clothes in the dark, and swaggered out of the city gate.

Xu Fu woke up early the next morning and got up slowly: "Thank you for saving your life." ”

"You're welcome." Zhao Yi smiled and waved his hand.

Q: How did you save yourself yesterday?

Zhao Yi didn't speak, Dian Wei told him about yesterday's events, in fact, it was very simple to steal the beams and change the pillars, but there was also Zhao Yi's calmness in it.

"In order to assassinate Master Jiang, I studied hard for many years. I didn't expect it to fail. Xu Fu sighed and slammed the table hard.

This person is a bloody man, Zhao Yi did not ask Xu Fu what grudge he had with Master Jiang, but enlightened Xu Fu: "It's normal for you to fail when you don't think about doing things, you have to plan everything before you act." ”

"Plan before you act." Xu Fu muttered a few words, and then his eyes lit up to reveal a look of sudden realization, only to realize that he had thought about things too simple before. "Thank you for your advice, Xu Fu understands."

After two days of marching, Xu Fu's injuries recovered quickly under Zhao Yi's care, and Xu Fu felt that his body was fine, so he said goodbye to Zhao Yi.

But Zhao Yi found a letter in his tent, which Xu Fu had left to Zhao Yi.

"What the adults said made me pause. I will forsake the sword and seek the Magi. After that, the name of Xu Fu was changed to Xu Shu. When you are successful in your studies, you will come back to report the grace of the adults to save your life and enlighten you. ”

"Xu Fu? Xu Shu! ”
