The sharp blade of the horizontal knife scraped a piece of hair, and this unintentionally revealed move greatly shocked everyone. As if a scoop of cold water had been added to the freshly bubbling hot water, the noisy crowd calmed down. Some people refused to let the matter end like this, and hid in the crowd and said: "He is a man in the public family, and he does not dare to hurt people, so don't be afraid." After such an agitation, a man with an impatient temperament suddenly rushed out, grabbed the girl's wrist and dragged it away, and the scholar in the green shirt hurriedly grabbed the girl's other arm, and dragged it with all his strength.

"It's the opposite, it's the opposite, resist law enforcement, are you going to rebel?"

The blue ink screamed inwardly, his eyes were rolling wildly, but he was looking at the way out. He has long heard of the notoriety of this group of people, and he may not dare to rebel, but resisting law enforcement is commonplace, and in this place where the black lights are blind, the other side is overwhelming, and in case of conflict, his side will definitely suffer.

There were a few people watching the excitement at the entrance of the alley in the distance, and they looked this way with their heads probed, and when they saw Qingmo looking at them, everyone shrank their heads together. Chengwu County's reputation for catching fast is not good, and the people hate it to the bone, and now they see Qingmo falling into the pit, and it's too late to watch the excitement, who is willing to come forward to help?

"Let it go!" Li Mao issued a warning, suddenly popped out a kick, and was kicking the man who was tug-of-war with the scholar in the green shirt, and the man squatted down holding his stomach.

"Tolerance beats people on the street, tolerance beats people on the street!"

The crowd was clamoring loudly. Seeing that there was a lively scene to see, the people nearby gathered one after another, but they were afraid that the people in the yamen would settle accounts after the autumn, and they probed their brains one by one, cowered, and watched from afar. Li Mao wanted this effect, and in front of the public, he didn't dare to openly beat the official with a few dares from the Moqi people.

By the time the Moqi people saw through Li Mao's intentions, it was too late, and the two tolerances between confronting the government in public and secretly blackening the government were completely two concepts, and they had not yet had the courage to openly confront the government.

After a stalemate of half a cup of tea, Feng Bu led more than 20 catchers and rushed over in full gear! Mo Qishu saw Feng Bu's face was happy, and he was about to step forward to talk, but his face sank, and Feng Bu, who usually saw him first and smiled, was as cold as a piece of iron at the moment, not only did he not smile at all, but scolded sharply: "Have you eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, dare to besiege the court officials on the street, what is the plan to rebel?" ”

Mo Qishu was taken aback, he subconsciously glanced at Li Mao, and his gaze suddenly fell on his belt, which was a cowhide belt with a wide slap and silver buckle, which was clearly an officer's standard equipment.

Mo Qishu didn't feel secretly remorseful, because he was too careless, and he mistakenly took Li Mao for the county government to catch fast.

He took a step back, smashed his chest as a salute, and said in an unusually stiff tone: "Since you are an official of the imperial court, you should identify yourself early, and you shouldn't let the old man misunderstand." Then he said to Feng Bu: "Justice has come just in time, this young man has broken into my camp, raped my daughter, and abducted her, which is really a great crime!" Please enforce the law impartially. Feng Bu snorted and warned sharply: "Moqi technique, it's almost enough, do you really want to go to see the official?" ”

Mo Qishu looked at Feng Bu in surprise, then at Li Mao, suddenly understood something, bowed to Feng Bu, and said: "I am willing to take this matter privately, please hand over the Great Joy Flower to me and bring it back, I will not pursue the fault of this young man." ”

After suppressing the Moqi people, Feng Bu discussed with Li Mao: "These are the Turkic people. The imperial court has a rule that whenever there is a dispute between the Han and the Han, the government should carefully screen it, and it is not allowed to favor the Han people. Cui Shaofu once confessed that the Moqi people should be cared for, and as long as they did not kill or injure people, they were not allowed to be arrested and interrogated. ”

The scholar in the green shirt lamented: "Miss Yang was abducted by him, not his biological daughter, how can the abducted government sit idly by and let her jump into the fire pit again?" Ask the two rulers to save her. ”

Feng Bu shouted: "There is no evidence, how do you want us to help her?" And you, Chen Shu, as a township tribute, actually committed the act of abducting people, aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation? ”

When the scholar suddenly heard this, he retreated miserably, and he was so depressed that the hand that had been holding the girl silently let go.

Li Mao noticed that the woman named Da Yuehua was like dust at the moment, and her eyes were already full of despair. The scholar named Chen Shu is thin, not like a person who can fight habitually, he can take Da Yuehua from the camp of the Moqi people, it should not be by force, it is very likely that Da Yuehua voluntarily left with him.

Li Mao also noticed that no matter how Ren Blackbeard threatened Chen Shu, he didn't flinch, he never let go of his grip on Da Yuehua, but now, when Feng Bu threatened to remove him from his status as a tribute, he flinched.

This is a literati, in the face of fame, any life and love can become worthless.

Li Mao asked Da Yuehua: "Speaking of yourself, are you willing to go with him (Moqishu), or go with us to the county government to report to the official?" But you speak with your conscience, and no one here dares to threaten you. Da Yuehua looked at the scholar Chen Shu sadly, gritted her teeth and said resolutely: "How dare Da Yuehua forget the grace of my father's upbringing, I am willing to go home with my father." Da Yuehua bowed deeply to Li Mao and silently stood back to Blackbeard's side. Feng Bu took the opportunity to drink and ordered the team to return to the ya.

"I will spare you once in the face of Li Zhiya, if you dare to harass others again, I will not spare you."

In the face of Feng Bu's warning, Chen Shu was submissive and did not dare to take a breath. Seeing this scene, Li Mao felt like he had swallowed a green-headed fly, and he trembled with disgust.

On the way to the county office, Li Mao asked Zhang Xuan: "What is the relationship between the Moqi people in the city and the beggar gang?" Zhang Xuan said: "The situation is the same as fire and water, if it weren't for Feng Bu and their strong pressure, I'm afraid it would have been a fire long ago." Li Mao said: "Feng Bu seems to be very familiar with the Moqi technique. Zhang Xuan said: "Moqi is familiar with Cui Shaofu, and has a general relationship with Feng Bu. Li Mao nodded with a smile, and asked Zhang Shuan again: "Qingmo went to the yamen to make a quick preparation, why don't you want to go?" ”

Zhang Shu replied: "I am too upright to get along with them. Li Mao laughed and said: "I heard that you are good at fists and feet, come over and have a discussion when you have time." Zhang Xuanqian said: "I practiced for a few years when I was young, but I am by no means your opponent Brother Mao, your close-quarters grappling skills are unpredictable, and it is really impossible to prevent it." ”

Li Mao smiled faintly and said, "I'll teach you when I'm free." ”

When Xue Rong saw Li Mao, he complained and said: "Several townships in the south of the county are making floods, but there is a drought in the east of the county. ”

Li Mao said: "Su Zhen promised to take 300 stone of grain to set up a porridge field outside the city for a few days, and for this reason, I think it is better to move the homeless people in the city outside...... Alas, it's simply lawless! ”

Xue Rong looked at Li Mao in surprise, wondering why he had such a big fire on the Moqi people. After asking the reason, he said in surprise: "This group of people is becoming more and more lawless, and they don't even pay attention to the enforcement of the law. Sighing, and said: "It's also ridiculous, Emperor Taizong was to pacify the Turks, and discussed with the princes how to settle the remnants, Fangdu Zhugong disagreed, and the dispute continued, and then took the proposal to move 100,000 people to Hedong, these 100,000 people arrived in Hedong, and were bullied by the local tyrants, causing some people to secretly flee back to the grassland, continue to be enemies of the Tang Dynasty, and some people were scattered to other Daozhou.

"In order to show appeasement, Emperor Taizong said to his subjects all over the world: 'Since ancient times, the world has been heavy on China and light on Diyi, and I love it as one'. The government legislated for this purpose, giving these newly naturalized people all kinds of benefits, and even deliberately favoring them when the Fan and Han Dynasty were fighting, in order to appease them, so that they would feel the holy virtues of the Tang Dynasty and sincerely convert to our Tang Dynasty Holy Religion. Two hundred years have passed, and most of them have become subjects of our Tang Dynasty, and they have contracted with Hermes-Epitek as a family, but there are also a few people who do not eat the ancients, cling to the old customs on the grassland, and refuse to naturalize. The Moqi clan is one of them, they have no foothold in Hedong, so they wander around and cause trouble everywhere.

"What is ironic is that they take Emperor Taizong's words to intimidate the government everywhere, and everywhere they regard themselves as the people who have just descended, asking for all kinds of benefits, and the local government has a slight disobedience, they will make trouble, accusing the local government of violating Taizong's legacy to suppress and bully the naturalized people, the strange thing is that there are always some people in the court echoing with them, and when they encounter disputes, they must suppress the locality, and over time, the magistrates will inevitably have a headache when they see them, and they will avoid them, and they can't wait to treat them as a human being, lest they make trouble and ruin their future and wealth."

Speaking of this, Xue Rong said: "Half a month ago, they came to Chengwu County and asked to live in Chengzhonghua District, I asked them to live outside the city, but they refused, so I put them aside, trying to bend their temperament, but I didn't want them to go through Cui Li's door, not only entered the city, but also set up camp at the crossroads. Now that the situation has been completed, it is not easy to expel it. ”

Knowing that Cui Li was the backstage of the Moqi people, Li Mao was shocked in his heart, Xue Rong was a humble and virtuous gentleman, if Cui Li hadn't gone too far, he would never throw Cui Li out without dignity. Why does Cui Li favor the Moqi people, the reason is not difficult to guess, Cui Li is greedy for money and lustful, and his life is extremely extravagant, and it is difficult to guarantee that he is in the way of others.

Li Mao sighed silently, and there was no better countermeasure. Although Xue Rong is the head of a county in Chengwu County, the real power is in the hands of Cui Li and other powerful factions, under the suppression of Cui Li, Chengwu County is like a pool of stagnant water, if there is no strong external force injection, it is difficult to make waves from the inside. But where is this external force, Li Mao thought bitterly.
