Chapter Seventy-Seven: Who Died?

In the backyard of the county government, more than a dozen errand servants poured out.

Just looking at their embarrassed appearance, it's like seeing a ghost. Exiting step by step, several men and women walked out of the corner door. The first person, dressed in a black shirt, holds a knife in his hand, one long and one short, the knife edge hangs low, along the arc of the knife's spine, and blood falls.

However, his expression was calm, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

Pei Shuying followed, but she was supporting a middle-aged man. When Yan Qing saw this person at first glance, he was stunned. It turned out that he knew this middle-aged man, and the relationship was very close, it was the fourth master of the Xingyang Zheng family's scripture hall, the former Shangshu of the Great Sui Minbu, Zheng Shanguo.

Zheng Shanguo's complexion was not very good, and his face was a little pale.

And Pei Shuying has a pretty face, and that cold sentence also came from her mouth.

Zhang Xianling blurted out: "You ...... Who let them out? ”

Standing on the doorstep, Yan Qing, who had been supported by Ma Sanbao, suddenly pushed away Ma Sanbao at the moment when Zhang Xianling lost his mind, and pounced on Zhang Xianling. An errand officer found out in time and shouted, and the dancing steel knife wanted to stop Yan Qing. In his opinion, the unarmed Yanqing is not difficult to subdue. Unexpectedly, seeing that the steel knife in his hand was about to slash Yanqing, Li Yanqing suddenly paused, supported the ground with one foot, and spun his body to get out of the way. At the same time, a cold light flew out of his hand.

The errand officer has only practiced a few crop skills, and his skills are not enough for Yan Qingzheng to watch.

I only heard a scream, and the blood appeared. As the cold light faded, a human skull fell to the ground. A pool of blood was spraying on Zhang Xianling's face, who turned around to look at it, making him suddenly scramble. Immediately after, a bright sword rested on Zhang Xianling's neck.

Yan Qing coughed lightly twice, "Zhang County Order, are you still going to arrest me now?" ”

This sudden change made everyone, even Pei Shuying and Zheng Shanguo, dumbfounded.

"You ......"

Zhang Xianling had a sharp sword around his neck, and his previous arrogance disappeared without a trace.

Yan Qing chuckled and said, "The county order is strange, why don't I need help from others?" No wonder the county magistrate came to visit me three days ago, it turned out that it was not to visit me, but to see if I recovered? Hehe, I'm sorry, I recovered ten days ago.

It's just that my surname is lazy and I don't want to entangle too much with others, so I used the excuse that I had not recovered from my injury and was bedridden, which disappointed the county commander. ”

"Li Yanqing, you don't want to be rampant, this is the county government, you dare to kill the court officials?"

"Phew!"

Zheng Shanguo suddenly said angrily: "You are a chaotic minister and thief, and you dare to call yourself an official of the imperial court? Yanqing, Hugh wants to let him go, he wants to rebel......"

"Rebellion?"

Yan Qing wrapped the blade around Zhang Xianling's neck and slowly retreated.

The soft sword in his hand was the Dragon Ring Sword, which was originally given to Shen Guang. However, when he realized that the situation was not good, he decided to break into the county government and ask for it from Shen Guang.

In Gongxian County, abnormal troop and horse movements; Zhang ordered the seizure of his horses strongly; Pei Shuying went to ask for it, but she never returned...... All kinds of signs indicate that something big will happen in Gong County. Pei Shuying didn't want to come back, but was detained in the county government by Zhang County's order.

Therefore, Yan Qing came to the county government with Xiong Kuohai, and without saying a word, he came to the door with a troublesome face.

In this way, it will be able to attract the attention of Zhang Xianling. Shen Guang relied on his kung fu of flying eaves and walking on the wall to sneak into the county government's back house.

thought that Pei Shuying was detained alone, but she didn't want to, and rescued a Zheng Shanguo.

Pei Shuying said: "Yanqing, this dog official colluded with Yang Xuangan and intended to rebel. Brother Zheng accidentally discovered the evidence of his rebellion, so he was detained in the county government's mansion...... Yang Xuan felt that the army was about to rise, and this dog official did not stop doing anything, and planned to respond in Gong County.

I came to ask for a warhorse, but I didn't want to be kept by him.

If it weren't for Shen Guang coming to the rescue, this dog official, this dog official would ......"

Zhang Xianling's eyes were rolling, and he suddenly shouted: "Everyone should not listen to these people's nonsense, this is a traitor, and they should be killed quickly." ”

Yan Qing slapped Zhang Xianling's face with his backhand, "Dog officer, do you think I can't kill you?" ”

The sharp sword around his neck cut through Zhang Xianling's skin, oozing red blood. However, this slap made Zhang Xianling shut his mouth.

"Everybody, all lay down their weapons.

If you are bewitched by others, you can not blame the past. If you are obsessed, then obey the orders of the dog officer, regard it as an accomplice, and punish the nine clans. ”

Ma Sanbao picked up an iron gun, stopped in front of the gate, and shouted loudly.

For a while, those villagers were at a loss. There is nothing wrong with the erosion in Shandong and the heavy conscription in Hebei. But in the Gongxian area, life is relatively peaceful. The villagers obeyed the dispatch and responded to the call. But in fact, no one knows what is going on.

One is the parent official of Gong County, and the other is the newly relocated nobles and celebrities of Gong County, who should I believe?

At this moment, Zuo Bing Cao led people to arrive, and when he saw this situation, he was stunned at first, and then immediately understood the reason for the matter, and shouted: "Li Yanqing, you openly kidnapped the county commander, could it be that you intended to rebel?" Don't believe them, they are the thieves.

Li Yanqing was dissatisfied because he did not receive a reward from the imperial court.

The county magistrate found out about his intentions, so he confiscated his horses. He is now kidnapping the county magistrate, which is a capital crime. But there is a person who rescued the master and killed Li Yanqing, and the reward was ten gold! ”

Xiang Yongna can distinguish the truth from the false, and when he heard Zuo Bing Cao say this, he couldn't help but believe it.

Yan Qing's face changed, "Zuo Bing Cao, don't you want Zhang County to live?" ”

"Ha, the county commander is serving the court, even if he dies, he can be buried in a grand manner."

This sentence made Zhang Xianling's face pale, "Zuo Xiaoji, you ungrateful...... Don't act rashly, Zuo Xiaoji is the anti-thief. ”

This situation made the villagers at a loss.

Why did all of them suddenly become traitors?

Zuo Bing Cao showed a hideous smile on his face, and shouted: "Don't hesitate, everyone, the imperial army has received the news and will come soon." ”

"Hugh has to listen to his nonsense, the official army is no longer in the city now, and Zuo Xiaoji is the thief."

Townsmen, you look at me, I look at you, they are all at a loss.

Seeing that the situation had become chaotic, Yan Qing couldn't help frowning, took out a firecracker from his arms, handed it to Shen Guangdao: "Shen Guang, order Su Lie to attack." ”

Shen Guang took the firecracker and lit the fuse.

I only heard a loud bang from Peng, and a stream of fireworks rose into the sky.

The villagers on the long street, who had never seen such a scene, became even more dazed.

However, Zuo Xiaoji realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly greeted his cronies and rushed to the county office. Xiong Kuohai stood at the door, seeing Xiang Yong rushing over, he was unarmed, saw the two stone lions placed at the door, immediately rushed forward, with both arms forced, raised one of them above his head, and shouted loudly, the stone lion flew out of his hand. The two officials who rushed to the front couldn't dodge and were hit by a thousand catties of stone lions.

In just one moment, the flesh and blood of the two people smashed flew sideways and turned into a mess of mud.

That scene was really shocking, even Zuo Xiaoji and Zuo Bing Cao couldn't help but gasp.

"Who dares to die?"

The majestic sea stood in front of the gate of the house, and there was a posture that a husband should not open. The swarthy face, the tiger's eyes are round, and the monster is terrifying; It is too much to remind, burly and majestic, and it gives people a feeling of suffocation. At the same time, Shen Guang slashed the two suppressed people who tried to sneak up on the ground to the ground, blood splattered on his body, showing a soaring murderous aura.

Yan Qing pushed Zhang Xian Ling in front of Ma Sanbao and handed the Dragon Ring Sword to Ma Sanbao.

He raised his hand and picked up a big gun, the spear was against Zhang Xianling's throat, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Zuo Xiaoji shouting loudly: "Brothers, Hugh must listen to the words of these anti-thieves, hurry up...... As long as you kill Li Yanqing, you can rescue the county commander and kill him. ”

"I'll see who dares to move the son."

Suddenly, at the end of the long street, the sound of horses' hooves sounded.

A group of iron horsemen came out from a distance. The leader is Su Lie and Su Dingfang. I saw that he bent his bow and set up an arrow, and it was an arrow aimed at Zuo Xiaoji.

Zuo Xiaoji was so frightened that he dodged, but forgot that he was sitting on the horse at the moment, and fell off the horse with a thud.

His fall made the villagers even more panicked. Originally, it was not clear who was good and who was bad, but now Zuo Xiaoji fell off the horse again, could it be that he was hit by an arrow? This group of dragons has no leader, and the township is in chaos when they ascend. Twelve horsemen rushed out of the way from the tiger guard, chopping waves and waves.

Zuo Xiaoji got up from the ground, and when he was about to get back on the horse, Su Lie picked up the big gun from the saddle bridge, and slammed it on him, knocking Zuo Xiaoji to the ground.

"Whoever dares to resist, shoot and kill!"

Su Lie's big gun was pressed against Zuo Xiaoji's chest, majestic and murderous.

He sat on his horse, his eyes sparkling, and he looked around. When the villagers saw that Zuo Xiaoji was arrested, they had no intention of resisting. So some of them threw away their weapons and sat down on the ground. When a man abandons his weapon and surrenders, a cascade of reactions is immediately triggered. Hundreds of villagers abandoned their weapons one after another and sat on a long street.

"Yanqing, you immediately send someone to the Tiger Prison Pass to inform General Pei Hongce, Yang Xuan is upset."

Yan Qing was confused, "Four...... Master, why are you in Gong County, what the hell is going on? ”

He was accustomed to calling Zheng Shanguo 'Fourth Uncle', but when the words came to his lips, he remembered that he had nothing to do with the Zheng family.

Zheng Shanguo couldn't hear the mystery of this, and he could only smile bitterly in his heart.

The Zheng family was ultimately unblessed and missed a great talent......

He said softly: "This county order was originally a disciple of mine, but I didn't expect me to resign from my official position, so he immediately changed the court.

After Qingming, I had nothing to do in Xingyang, so I was going back to Luoyang to visit relatives and friends. Passing through Gong County, he accidentally found this thief...... I wanted to report to the court immediately, but he found out and imprisoned me in the palace. It is also this thief who has some conscience and has never harmed my surname, otherwise my life would have been suspended. ”

Zheng Shanguo's explanation, Yan Qing suddenly realized.

Did Yang Xuangan really rebel?

He sighed secretly in his heart, there are some things that he can't change. Raising his head, Yan Qing was just about to speak, but he heard Zuo Xiaoji grit his teeth and said: "You have to be proud, my lord is about to get into trouble, and if you don't say it, you should cross the river and go straight to Luoyang." Hugh thinks that there is Xingyang County that can block the road of my lord, I tell you the truth, Xingyang has long been in the lord's pocket, if you are smart, know how to advance and retreat, you should know the general trend. It's not too late to surrender now. Otherwise, after dawn, it will be the time of death. ”

This Zuo Xiaoji seems to know a lot of things......

and then contact Zhang Xianling to mobilize people and control Gong County's behavior, what he said is probably not a word of intimidation.

Yan Qing glanced at Zheng Shanguo and Pei Shuying, and both of them showed a strong look of worry in their eyes. Xingyang is in the bag? What a big breath!

"Shen Guang, please go back to Zhang County, Hugh is going to snub him."

Yan Qing pondered for a moment, and suddenly commanded: "Ma Sanbao, you and Su Lie are optimistic about the captive. If there is an opportunity to make trouble, they will be killed on the spot, and there is no need to return the court. ”

"Yanqing, what do you want?" Pei Shuying asked in a low voice.

Li Yanqing smiled, secretly patted the back of Pei Shuying's hand, and then said to Zheng Shanguo: "Master Zheng, please rush back to Xingyang immediately."

When passing through Guancheng, you can secretly meet with Master Cui and ask for his support. Xu Shiji, the lieutenant of Guancheng County, is a genius in the world, with outstanding art of war and good at strategy. You can let him know and ask him to help. This is my jade belt, and when the county lieutenant Xu sees this jade belt, he will definitely obey your dispatch. ”

Yan Qing said, took off his belt, and handed it to Zheng Shanguo.

This belt is also a souvenir given to him by Li Ji back then. Xu Shiji has seen this belt, which is also the best proof.

Zheng Shanguo took the belt and couldn't help asking, "Yanqing, ...... from then Gong County?"

Yan Qing smiled, "If Xingyang is fine, Gongxian should sit back and relax." Hehe, Zuo Bing Cao just explained that it is my death date, I want to know, now, who will die? ”

He sneered, without saying a word about the majestic sea on the side, stepped forward and grabbed Zuo Xiaoji's neck, and strangled Zuo Xiaoji to death with his big hand.
