There is an open space about five zhang square in front of the ancestral hall of Xujiabao, and if there is any major event in the fort on weekdays, the people of the fort will gather in this open space. Today, the open space was full of murderous spirit, only to see that the open space with a circumference of five zhang was surrounded by the Xu family's fort soldiers, and more than ten people in the middle of the field were tied with their hands behind their backs, kneeling on the ground, most of them were unkempt and skinny, and there were two children under ten years old.

More than a dozen people knelt on the ground with their heads bowed, and there was silence around them, and in the crowd of onlookers, the children hid in their mother's arms in fear, secretly looking at the kneeling crowd with their eyes.

"It's all optimistic, planting our Xu family's land, but what I want is to hold the stinky feet of those Huns. These dogs dared to take advantage of the opportunity to go out of the fort to farm, and the family escaped. Have you all forgotten what the Hu people have done? Since the pre-Jin Dynasty, Bian Hu has slaughtered people and plundered people, which time is not our Xujiabao to protect the neighbors and defend themselves. Now the Huns have just sat in the world for more than ten years, and they casually threw some leftovers at you, and these dogs actually ignored the friendship of the villagers in vain. Escape from the fort. I'm afraid that my conscience will be eaten by dogs! In front of him stood a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe thirty miles away. He is Xu Zhengtai's protégé, and now he helps Xu Zhengtai manage the big and small things in the fort.

Seeing that the people around him were silent, the middle-aged man dressed as a scribe nodded and said, "Fa Mo Ruxian, since the sect master has spoken first, there are people who have escaped from the fort privately...... Chop, then today everyone will take a good look at how these wolf-hearted and dog-lung people are separated! ”

At this time, the fort soldiers armed with knives and axes stood behind more than a dozen people, waiting to be executed. Among the people who suddenly knelt, one of them stood up and shouted: "Jia Yi, you are a beast-faced thing, you have a human skin in vain, their Xu family bullies men and women in the castle, and you also follow the fox and the tiger." We worked hard for a year, only left us a little ration, not enough to eat, my father starved to death, my mother starved to death, and now my children are starving to death, what happened to the Huns, the Huns only paid fifteen taxes and one tax, and also gave seeds to cultivate cattle. It's better than being a tenant of this bird! ”

"Liu Da, you slippery person, you dare to be presumptuous here!" Jia Yi had a gloomy face, looked at Liu Da and said.

"Jia Yi, when your family fled to our Xujiabao, it was my father who gave your family a bucket of food, otherwise how could you stand here now to show off your might. If you don't repay the favor, Xu Zhi'an, that son of a bitch, took a fancy to my sister, and you actually deceived my sister and gave it to Xu Zhi'an, causing my sister to commit suicide by jumping into a well. One of our Liu family counts as one, and we won't let you go if you are a ghost. Liu yelled loudly.

After hearing this, Jia Yi was angry: "Hmph! The humble people also dared to be kind, spread rumors and slandered the master's son, cut off his head, and then threw his body out to feed the wolf. Liu Da, your younger brother, I will definitely help you find out, and then send your family to reunite. ”

Liu Da gritted his teeth and said, "Beast, wait, there will be a day when you will not die." ”

Before the words fell, Liu Da was suddenly kicked in the crook of his leg by the fort soldiers behind him, he threw himself to the ground, his face hit the ground, and in an instant, his nose bleeds mixed with dust and dirt made his face confused.

Jia Yi sneered and said, "Execution." ”

I saw those fort soldiers raise their swords and fall, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen human heads rolled to the ground. The big Liu's head was round-eyed, and he was still staring at the front.

Seeing the madness in his eyes, Jia Yi couldn't help but shudder, waved his hand and said to the onlookers: "I have seen it in the end, if there are any more fugitives, follow this example." After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Jia Yi left the execution ground and came to the main hall of the Xu family, and as soon as he arrived at the front of the steps, he saw that the eldest son of the Xu family was asking Xu Zhengtai for business, so he waited under the corridor. I only heard Xu Zhihai inside say: "Dad, then the Li Si Officials have accepted it half-pushed and half-pushed, and when Yeluxi receives the land deed and the roster, he will probably not embarrass our Xu family again." ”

Xu Zhengtai listened to it and groaned: "This time Yeluxi sent a message, it is very strange, not only the palm secretary surnamed Kang came in person, but the letter also said that this time you must keep a low profile and don't make any big noise, otherwise I won't give your sister-in-law to that Han Ling County Order." ”

Xu Zhihai said with a smile: "Presumably, the imperial court is very strict this time, and Lord Yelu is not easy to deal with." Didn't the palm of the book say, this time it was the emperor himself who decreed that all the rosters and files must be reported before the winter. ”

Xu Zhengtai let out an "um" and asked, "Did the priest reveal anything?" ”

Xu Zhihai said while recalling: "The official is not very old, his demeanor is very calm, and he did not reveal anything useful in his words. But this man was greedy, and he scraped ten thousand dollars from me. The three bookstores who came with them were easy to do, so they slept with a few girls in Yicui Pavilion, and they bought it off with a little money. ”

Xu Zhengtai nodded and said: "Very good, Kang Shouzhen said that the official surnamed Li is a distant relative of Yeluxi, and give him the list we proposed and the title deed to Yeluxi to give to Yeluxi, first, so that the kid can do something, Yeluxi can arrange a way out for him, and second, the title deed can also be handed over to him so that he can sell it well in Yeluxi." When the time comes, as soon as Yeluxi is happy, we will pass this matter without turning a blind eye. Since Yeluxi values this kid very much, spend some money, don't care so much at this time. ”

Xu Zhihai nodded yes.

At this time, Xu Zhengtai saw Jia Yi standing under the corridor, and said, "Jia Yi, what's the matter?" ”

Jia Yi hurriedly walked in with small steps, gave a salute and said, "Sect Master, the more than ten fugitives have all been beheaded, and Jia Yi has come to report it." ”

Xu Zhengtai asked, "Very well, how did the burgers react?" ”

Jia Yi hurriedly replied: "Those cold people are all silent, presumably it must be the sect master who killed the chicken to show the monkey that this trick worked." ”

Xu Zhengtai was very happy to hear this, stroked the beard on his chest and said to Jia Yi: "You don't have to worry about me in doing things. At this juncture, don't let those people cause trouble for our Xu family, do you understand? ”

Jia Yi hurriedly bowed his head and responded.

Xu Zhengtai said again: "The county commander Su Yun has agreed to marry my Xu family, what do you think about this?" ”

"Father, this Su Yun is his acquaintance. When to get married? Xu Zhihai asked with great joy.

Xu Zhengtai smiled "haha" and said: "The sooner the better, the three-long roster will be handed in soon, I have already told him, just do it these days, and Su Yun also agreed." When the time comes, he's our man, and things will be easier. ”

Xu Zhihai was puzzled: "Then why does my father still need those three little books to make a stumbling block for Su Yun at Yeluxi?" ”

"If you don't give him some hardship, how can he know that in Mengjin, he can only rely on our Xu family?" Xu Zhengtai said.

Xu Zhengtai saw Jia Yi frowning and silent at this time, so he asked Jia Yi, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

When Jia Yi saw Xu Zhengtai's post, he shook his head and said, "Sect Master, the discussion didn't find anything wrong, it's just that Su Yun agreed so happily, I'm afraid I'm ......."

Xu Zhihai stood up, laughed, and the fat on his face trembled: "Jia Yi, Jia Yi, this Xu Jiabao is the most suspicious of you, what else can Su Yun do, there are only a few crooked county soldiers in the county." It's okay to catch those cold guys quickly, you tell them to provoke us Xu Jiabao to try? ”

Jia Yi smiled bitterly and said, "The discussion is just worried, and there can be no mistakes at this time." ”

Xu Zhengtai smiled and said, "Be careful, Jia Yi, you will arrange their marriage tomorrow." This matter must be stepped upon. ”

Jia Yi nodded, and suddenly remembered something and asked, "Sect Master, one of the escapees this time is named Liu Da, and his younger brother has not found out where to hide so far." He was worried that this was a bane, and asked the sect master to order the arrest of this person to prevent future troubles. ”

After hearing this, Xu Zhengtai said to Xu Zhihai: "You quickly arrange for people to give me Meng Jin a detailed investigation, including the fort, to prevent this person from hiding in the fort." By the way, there is also the one surnamed Xing, what does the thing in his hand mean to us, I don't need to tell you again, right? Seeing Xu Zhihai nodding his head to receive the order, Xu Zhengtai suddenly remembered another thing. What about Xu Zhi'an? Did you come back? ”

Xu Zhihai bowed his head and said: "Father, Zhi'an is too disagreeable this time, I asked someone to go to the shop in the city to see it, and the guys said that Zhi'an has not been to the shop for a long time." ”

Jia Yi hurriedly said: "Sect Master, eldest son, little prince is just young and playful, presumably he will return home soon." At that time, he should persuade the little boy to stay in the castle recently. ”

"Hmph, you can't make it, you find someone to go to that house called Fluttershy, and if Xu Zhi'an is there, you tell him that if he doesn't come back, he will never come back. There is no time to play with women. Xu Zhengtai said to Xu Zhihai hatefully.

In a remote and dilapidated courtyard in the south of the city

"Is there anyone there? Which bastard caught you Xu Ye, hurry up and let me go, otherwise I will burn down your house. ”

Cao Hong stood in the courtyard, listening to Xu Zhi'an's hysterical shouts in the house, and said to Su Yun beside him: "Uncle Su, is this place safe?" ”

Su Yun smiled and said, "This is the house I quietly purchased, and there are no more than three people who know this place." ”

Cao Hong nodded and said, "Uncle Su, let's go in and meet this Xu Gongzi." ”

Su Yun laughed and pushed the door with Cao Hong in.

Xu Zhi'an was knocked unconscious by a stick behind him and brought to this strange house, he was originally frightened, but then he thought about the Xu family's power in Mengjin, asking for money and money, asking for people, even if it was a bandit, he had to sell Xu Jiabao for three points of face, and his heart gradually settled down, and then became arrogant again.

But Xu Zhian really didn't expect that it was not a bandit or a bandit who pushed the door in, but this Mengjin county commander Su Yun with a young man. Xu Zhi'an was stunned for a moment, and shouted to Su Yun: "Su Yun, what do you mean by this?" What do you want for someone to knock me out and bring me here? ”
