Ji Zheng and Dongya traveled day and night, and finally arrived in Changyi County near midnight the next day, when it had been a full day and a night since they left Yiyang Village, and the two were already exhausted. Although the matter is imminent, there is no way to go to the county government to report to the official at this time, so I can only wait for dawn to go to Li Xianling.

The two came to a post house, and after settling down, they hurriedly lay down and went to sleep. Although Ji Zheng was very tired, he didn't sleep soundly, he knew that Zhang Xun was waiting anxiously, and at this time, the lives of the whole village were on his back, and he had to go all out.

As soon as the sky was bright, Ji Zheng opened his eyes suddenly, he woke up Winter Tooth, and the two went to the front hall to eat something together. Ji Zheng ordered some corn porridge and meat, and as soon as the food was served, Winter Tooth devoured it.

There were a few diners sitting at the next table, who had just finished eating and were chatting, and one of them said, "Did you hear that?" The king is going to let that Gou Jian return to the country. ”

"Yes, it is said that the king has long had this intention, but Wu Xiangguo has always disagreed."

"That Gou Jian is really a wreck, after being defeated by our king, he came to be a hostage, I heard that he also ate the king's feces to help the king diagnose diseases."

"Yes, yes, I've heard about it, it seems that this Gou Jian was really subdued by the king."

"I don't think so, I can endure humiliation and burden, I don't think it's easy to practice."

"What! What's so uneasy about such a wreck, I think he's just scared. ”

"That's right, that's right, even if the king lets him go back, what can they do with their little Yue Kingdom, if they dare to make another attempt, the king will immediately send troops to destroy their Yue Kingdom!"

"Haha! Oh, yes! Oh, yes! ”

Ji Zheng saw that these people were chatting happily, so he got up and walked in front of them, saluted, and said, "A few gentlemen, how many of you heard that King Wu wants to let King Yue return to the country?" Is this serious? ”

"Really! This matter has spread, and it is estimated that the king will let the king return to Yue next month. One of them saluted Ji Zheng.

"Thank you, sir, for informing me, and besides, there is another matter that I would like to ask the gentlemen."

"Please."

"I have an urgent matter to report to Li County, I don't know where the government is?"

"Oh, you go out and turn right, and you're three blocks away."

"Thank you!"

Ji Zheng saluted a few people to say goodbye, and then went to the county government with Dongya.

At this time, the sky was already bright, but the county government was still closed, Ji Zheng was anxious, so he beat the drum of grievances, but after knocking for a while, no one came to open the door.

"Why haven't you opened the door yet!?" Ji Zheng clenched the drumstick, rounded his arm, and thumped at the drum, which made a huge sound, attracting the surrounding people to come over to see the excitement.

Finally, the door opened, and a disheveled servant leaned against the door, yawning, pointing at Ji Zheng and scolding: "It's early in the morning, knock on what!" ”

"Someone's life is at stake! I must meet Master Li in person, and I hope you can let me know! Ji Zheng saluted the officials.

"When is this? Adults are still resting! Besides, what big deal can it be!? Get out! Get out! The official waved his hand and said impatiently.

"You!" Dongya wanted to come forward to theorize, but was stopped by Ji Zheng.

"This matter is about the lives of a village, and I can't afford to delay! The two of us set off from Yiyang Village the night before, all the way non-stop, and only arrived at the county seat last night, without further ado, I must report the matter to Lord Li, and hope to be accommodating! Ji Zheng bowed deeply again.

"Oh? In such a hurry? The official looked at Ji Zheng.

"I have a letter written by Elder Yiyang Village here, please forward it to Master Li for your attention." Ji Zheng took out the letter from his bag and handed it to the officials.

The official took the letter, but he didn't open it at all, he paced in front of Ji Zheng, and said in a strange voice: "Since the matter is so urgent, I shouldn't delay, but Lord Li is still resting, if I go in now to disturb, I'm afraid the Lord will blame." ”

"The stakes are high, thank you!"

"Excuse me? What kind of driving? Why are you so ignorant? The official tilted his head and squinted at Ji Zheng.

Winter Ya couldn't help but ask, "How can we be ignorant?" Isn't protecting the villagers what you officials should do? ”

"Hey, I said you're a little brat, what do you know? I'm helping you like that, hehe, aren't you? The official rubbed his hand and said.

"What do you mean?" Dongya asked with some confusion, he looked at Ji Zheng, only to see that Ji Zheng had anger on his face, but he didn't speak.

"What do you mean?! Hum! Do you want to do things without paying? ”

"What? Do you want money from the officer? Winter Ya asked, slightly puzzled.

"Don't play stupid with me, get out of here if you don't have any money!" The officials retreated to the door.

Dongya suddenly understood, and said angrily: "You are asking for a bribe!" Hum! When we meet Master Li, we must report you! ”

"Hey! Brat! You're going to denounce me?! Hum! You don't even bother to ask who Uncle Ben is and tell you! Uncle Ben is Lord Li's nephew! Lee City! You're going to denounce me?! See if I don't kill you! Li Shi viciously smashed the letter on Ji Zheng, and then he was about to close the door.

Suddenly, Ji Zheng rushed forward with an arrow and kicked the door open, and Li Shi was also pushed to the ground by the door.

"You! You! You dare to beat Uncle Ben! Li Shi fell to the ground and pointed at Ji Zheng and scolded.

"In the face of such a life-threatening matter, you little servant still dare to openly ask for bribes, I want to discipline and discipline my subordinates for Lord Li!" Ji Zheng said angrily.

"Brothers, come on, Diao Min is making trouble!" Lee shouted.

After a while, eight officials rushed in front of the door, each armed with sticks, and surrounded Ji Zheng in the center. Li Shi also got up, copied a stick from the wall, pointed at Ji Zheng and scolded: "You are a bold man, you have made trouble to Uncle Ben, see if I don't clean you up today!" Come on! Brothers! Give it to me! After that, Li Shi brought the officials to fight.

Ji Zheng's face was fearless, a sideways dodge the first blow from Li Shi's head-on, and then stumbled with his foot, tripping it, and then kicked sideways, hitting the other person in front of the door, and then a sweeping leg dodged the stick of the four people behind, and swept them all to the ground, and the last move dragon and phoenix dance, turned around in the air and kicked down another person. These four tricks flowed like a storm and lightning, and in the blink of an eye, seven people were put down, and there were two servants left, you look at me, I look at you, and I am glad that I did not go up and be beaten.

"Who made the second?!" At this time, Li Xianling came from the inner hall.

"Uncle, Diao Min is going to make trouble!" Li Shi lay on the ground and pointed at Ji Zheng and said.

"In Xia Ji Zheng, I have something important to tell Lord Li, just because the official asked for bribes, I had to take action, and I looked at Haihan." Ji Zheng saluted Li County.

"Oh? Events? I am Li Zida, you can follow me into the inner hall and say. Li Xian Ling said and turned around and walked towards the inner hall.

Ji Zheng and Dongya followed, Li Shi also followed stupidly, and walked to the inner hall, Ji Zheng and Li County Ling knelt opposite each other, Dong Ya stood behind Ji Zheng, and Li Shi stood behind Li County Ling with a stick.

"Master Li, there are many offenses in the bottom." Ji Zheng saluted Li County.

"There is no obstacle, there is no obstacle, and there is no way for the official to discipline him." Li Xianling said with a smile, he stroked his beard, and then said: "Fang Cai, you said that there is something important to report, what is the matter?" ”

"Zai Xia and the two brothers passed by Yiyang Village, and met the Yin soldiers in the village to help them. The so-called Yin soldiers were actually pretending to be ghosts, but unexpectedly, they colluded with the assassins to attack the village at night and slaughter the villagers. We resisted and almost subdued him, but one of the Assassins escaped, fearing that the Assassins would bring reinforcements and bloodied the village, so I rushed to call for help day and night. ”

"Oh? Such a thing? Before, there were Yiyang villagers who came to report to the official, saying that there were Yin soldiers in the village to borrow the way, and I sent Li Shi to check them, but Li City said that it was Diao people making trouble, and the so-called Yin soldiers borrowing the road was just nonsense. Li Xian Ling said, turned around and looked at Li Shi behind him.

"This ...... This is really the nonsense of those people, I went to squat with my five brothers for two nights, huh...... I didn't see any Yin soldiers......" Li Shi said.

"Hey, where are you ......" Li Xianling shook his head, and then said to Ji Zheng, "How is the situation in the village?" ”

"More than ten people were killed, more than ten people were injured, and now it is impossible to organize resistance, my brother is injured, and my younger brother is now assisting the village elders in planning affairs. Master Li, I have here a letter from Elder Huan, please take a look. Ji Zheng said that, and presented the letter to Li County Order with both hands.

"Oh, Elder Huan, but is it Huan Che?"

"Exactly!"

"Hehe, I haven't seen Brother Huan Che for more than ten years, but I am very familiar with his son, who is now Lord Huan Suming. At first, the official recommended him to be an official in Yiyang Village, and later, a plague broke out in Yiyang Village, and he made meritorious contributions to the epidemic, and three years later, he was transferred to Gusu as an official, and now he is already a county lieutenant, and this official position is much higher than this official. Li Xianling said to himself while reading the letter.

After reading the letter, Li Xianling was silent for a while, and asked Ji Zheng: "At this time, I am most afraid of chaos, I don't know if your brother can handle it?" ”

"My junior brother's name is Zhang Xun, the smartest of the three of us, he has studied with Master for many years, he is quick thinking, eloquent, and good at planning, he will definitely be fine if he assists in the affairs of the village!" Ji Zheng said confidently.

"Hmm......" Li Xianling nodded, and then said, "Who is your master?" ”

"The family teacher's surname is Yan, and he is also an old friend with Elder Yan." Ji Zheng said.

"Oh? The color of the face? Li Xianling asked.

"That's right!"

"But Brother Yan Ling?"

"Exactly."

"Oh, hehe, I worked under two brothers back then, and I learned a lot." Li Xianling said with a smile.

"My lord, the village is in dire need of rescue, without further ado!"

"Well, this matter is about the lives of the whole village, and we must save them as soon as possible. Come! ”

"The villain is here!" Li Shi said sideways.

"Thirty soldiers from the government, led by you, go to Yiyang to rescue the people!"

"No!" Lee Shi answered the order.

"Thank you, sir!" Ji Zheng and Dongya stood up and saluted.

"Don't be polite, defend the land and the people, this is the responsibility of the official, you two go with the soldiers."

At noon, the government soldiers were assembled, Ji Zheng and Dongya also had lunch in the palace, and everyone said goodbye to Li County's order and prepared to go to Yiyang Village.

Li Shi rode a high-headed horse, led the team to beat gongs and drums, and swaggered through the city. Li Shi saw the people flocking around, he was even more ecstatic, he waved to the people arrogantly, along the way, everyone must say that he led the troops to defend the land and the people, so not majestic.

Ji Zheng walked slowly behind Li Shi, although he was anxious in his heart, he could only endure it, at this time, he could not regenerate right and wrong, and he had to wait until he left the county seat and then urged Li Shi to hurry.

After a long time, the group finally left the county seat, but as soon as they left the city, Li Shi clamored to rest, and the government soldiers also sat on the ground and did not leave.

"It's just out of the city, why do you have to rest?!" Ji Zheng asked Li Shi angrily.

"Hehe, you have a horse to ride, of course you are not tired, but my brothers are very hard!" Li Shi said as he motioned to the government soldiers to coax.

"That's it! It is! Exhausted! ”

"I'm tired! We're going to rest! ”

The soldiers shouted in a noisy.

Dongya's eyes widened, staring at Li Shi and scolding, "Damn! ”。

"Yo?! Little bastard, grandpa just won't leave, but you're begging grandpa?! Haha, haha! ”

"Humph!" Winter Tooth was so angry that he couldn't do it, but he was helpless.

Ji Zheng was furious, but he suppressed his anger, he jumped off the horse, walked to Li Shi's horse, and saluted Li Shi: "Li Yashi, I am wrong this morning, I have offended a lot, and I hope that for the sake of human life, hurry up and persuade the brothers to hurry." ”。

"Know it's wrong? Hum! Why did you go earlier? It's too late to apologize! Uncle Ben just isn't happy! Li Shi was a little proud.

"Let's hurry." Ji Zheng saluted Li Shi again.

"No, no! Uncle Ben won't leave! Li Shi began to kick his nose in the face, and then shouted to the soldiers: "Yes, brothers! Let's not go! ”

"That's right! Tired, don't go! Don't go! The soldiers followed.

"Hugh blames him for being rude." After that, Ji Zheng stepped forward and pulled Li Shi off the horse, and then, he tripped Li Shi to the ground with a kick, grabbed Li Shi's arm and dragged it back, and Li Shi screamed in pain.

"Walk or not!" Ji Zheng reprimanded.

"Let's go! Walk! Walk! …… Oops! Don't drag! Yes! It hurts, it hurts me! ”

"Let the soldiers run in front, quickly! Or I'll break your arm!" Ji Zheng said that, and pulled Li Shi's arm hard.

"Ahh Yo yo! It hurts, it hurts! You shit! Why don't you run ahead! Fast! Run! Only then did the soldiers get up one after another and run to the front, and Ji Zheng saw that the team began to march, and only then did he let go of Li Shi.

"You're a Lord of Hades!" Li Shi looked at Ji Zheng and said stupidly.

"Hurry!"
