Ninety miles northwest of Wuyuan County, about half a mile away from the official road, in a remote grove, there were three or four men lying on the ground, and a young man under 30 years old in official uniform was sitting there with his back against a tree. He seemed to have been splashed with water on his head, and at this time, there were still droplets of water rolling down from the official hat and bun, and his face was still water-stained. However, what was even more sinister was that he saw five or six masked men holding steel knives standing in front of him, and at this moment he was clearly ill-intentioned, and the reason why he had just woken him up was probably to deliberately humiliate him.

Wu Xuan didn't expect it, but because the official road was temporarily blocked by a cart of overturned goods, and a Minzhuang of his entourage proposed to take a short break at a tea stall next to him, drink hot tea, and he would fall into the most dangerous field at the moment. During the three days he had been locked up in a cave, he realized that whether it was the overturning incident on the official road or the fact that he lost consciousness after drinking a few sips of hot tea at the tea stall, it was all a trap.

It's ridiculous that he has governed Wuyuan for four years, and the people praise him as a fair and honest strong order, and he actually took it seriously. It would be the biggest joke to be able to fall under your own rule and suffer such a catastrophe!

"Assassinating this county on the ground in Wuyuan, you haven't thought about the consequences of doing so?"

"Wu Xianzun, if you usually give everyone a hundred guts, you wouldn't dare to do this, but the gang of people in the city originally used a strategy to divert the tiger from the mountain, and then Wuyuan will be in chaos, and Huizhou Mansion will also be in chaos. Who let you take office and make private visits all day long, how many people have you offended, and how many people's financial routes have been cut off! When death is on the verge of death, what kind of stinky shelf do you still put on the county master? ”

Although Wu Xuan guessed that these were outlaws. But when he was really facing a life-and-death situation, he still tried his best to keep himself calm and try to delay time. Seeing a masked man holding a steel knife walking directly towards him, he suddenly asked, "Since you want me to die so much, do you dare to report my name?" ”

"Why, you still want to sue us at Lord Yama? Stop dreaming. We're not those young people who just debuted, so you should be a fool! ”

Seeing a steel knife fall on his head, Wu Xuan sighed and closed his eyes instinctively. However, the expected sharp blade did not come, and instead he heard a miserable scream, followed by a chaotic shout, and the sound of swords clashing. He quickly opened his eyes, only to find that the masked men with knives had already fought with another group. And right next to him. The masked man who was about to kill himself just now landed with a steel knife on the ground, and a flying knife was pierced in his wrist, and as if it was a report from the world, a steel knife was on the man's neck.

When he looked closely at the man who had saved him, he saw that he was very young, about twenty years old, handsome in countenance, and long in stature. Dressed in a blue rolled folded branch shirt with a crossed collar right shirt, he even nodded to him with a smile. Just when he was in doubt. I only felt that the binding behind my back suddenly loosened, as if the rope had been cut by something. However, after being tied up for too long, his limbs were already numb and he still couldn't move. At this time, he saw the young man with the knife threatening the masked man suddenly struck the back of the man's neck with the back of the knife, and waited for the man to fall to the ground at once. And he came to him quickly.

"Xiaobei, you go and see that guy, I don't have a serious deal, don't kill people."

"Yes."

I heard the voice behind me crisp and pleasant, it seemed to be a woman's voice. Wu Xuan was stunned for a moment, but the next moment, he saw the young man stretching out his hand and kneading his shoulders, arms, waist and legs one by one, and the technique was quite heavy, so that he couldn't help but make a sound in the end. But in this way, the blood was finally alive, and he barely moved his hands and feet, changed his sitting position, and when he found that those masked men were defeated, some were captured, and some were lying on the ground and did not know whether they were alive or dead, so he said to the young man of unknown origin: "Thank you for saving the righteous man!" ”

"Wu Xianzun, let me introduce myself, the first time we met, I am Wang Fulin of Songming Mountain, She County. It should be that I said please don't blame me for being late, although I have already found out that there are many lawsuits in Wuyuan who collude with the country haoright, and want to take advantage of this summer tax silk dispute to make a big fuss, I also instructed people to keep an eye on Wuyuan early, but I didn't expect others to use the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain to you, and even wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill you. When you were locked up before, there were only two people who found you, one who stayed and followed him to the cave, and the other who went to ventilate and report the news, so I didn't rush here until then. ”

Facing the hand that stretched out to help him, Wu Xuan was suddenly a little stunned. When he took office, it was when Wang Fulin was the most famous, and then he even stabbed the Taihu Lake thief in the Yamen of She County, but because he was the commander of Wuyuan County, he was too far away from the capital city, and he always had a good relationship, but he didn't expect to meet him on this occasion today. After hesitating for a moment, he finally stood up with the other party's hand, and then he didn't care about being covered in dust and embarrassment, and asked bluntly: "I heard that Wang Gongzi advocated that the Xia tax silk dispute should be delayed rather than urgent, and he disagreed with Xue Xianzun of She County, and he appeared here again today, but he was more well-informed than me, the Wuyuan County Order." ”

"Wu Xianzun is not a local after all, even if he is deeply loved by the people of Wuyuan, but you can't go all over Wuyuan all the time, and the three classes and six rooms are all locals, and it is impossible to completely deviate from the interests of the locals, so the situation you can know is limited after all." Wang Fulin didn't care much about the suspicion revealed in Wu Xuan's words, and after shrugging his shoulders, he said bluntly, "Wuyuan County is only afraid that there will be a lot of chaos, does Wu Xianzun plan to go to Huizhou Mansion to ask for help, or go back?" ”

Seeing that Wang Fulin's entourage had tied up all the masked men one by one and were busy rescuing the few officers who were escorting him, Wu Xuan retracted his gaze after a moment of silence and said categorically: "Naturally, I am going back to Wuyuan!" Although I am just a scholar, since I am the lord of a county, how can I leave the people of the county and run to the city for help? ”

"Even if there may be such a sinister situation on the way back?"

Wu Xuan's expression became solemn at this time. He is not one of those Jinshi who goes on the horse to govern the army, dismounts to manage the people, and is both civil and military, although he can ride a horse, but his martial arts are ordinary, and these errand soldiers are just a bit brute force. Not a good hand. Although he was in danger just now because he was drugged, what if he met those who were bent on his own life? Suddenly, he glanced at Wang Fulin, and a smile appeared on his face: "As long as I don't stay all the way, I don't drink or eat, even if I am intercepted by someone." As long as I identify myself on this official road to Wuyuan County, naturally some people are willing to escort me! Although there are traitors in Wuyuan County, there are also many righteous people! ”

Wang Fulin wanted to provoke Wu Xuan to take the initiative to borrow two people from him, but when he heard this Wuyuan county magistrate's answer so eloquently, he couldn't help laughing and said: "What a Wuyuan man, there are many righteous people!" Wu Xianzun said so, I won't be an official with you, my people will lend you four, don't refuse. This is not only to prevent any incidents on the road, but also to encounter emergencies after entering the city, and there will be no problem if you have a few more people to escort you to the county office. Thinking that there is a county order like Wu Xianzun, Wuyuan can't be in chaos, so I won't go to Wuyuan, I have to quickly return to Fucheng to have a look. ”

Wu Xuan is not a person who doesn't know what to do, and he was saved when his life was hanging by a thread. Then Wang Fulin took the initiative to send someone to escort him back to the county seat, what else did he have to say? Without hesitation, he arched his hand and thanked, "Today's matter." Thanks to Wang Gongzi's high righteousness, but without further ado, I have to go back to Wuyuan quickly. But these people before me were fascinated by people in the tea stall, and the horses may have been taken away, can you lend me a few horses? ”

"I can only lend you a horse of my own." Wang Fulin saw that Wu Xuan was still going to speak, but he waved his hand and said. "It's not that I don't want to borrow you, it's that Wuyuan is more than two hundred miles away from Fucheng, although I have prepared an empty mount, but it costs a lot to change horses all the way and gallop back, besides. After the four people you brought woke up, it's hard to say if they can follow you back, you are the county commander, and it doesn't matter if you are powerless to ask someone to protect you for a while, if they can't protect you, but you still want people to be distracted, isn't it a burden for you to take them? In addition, these few people who want to kill you are too late to be escorted back to Wuyuan County, and they always need someone to watch them. ”

Although reluctant, Wu Xuan had to admit that Wang Fulin had a point. Sure enough, when his four entourages woke up, two of them were as weak as him because of the drug, and two of them recovered quickly, so he no longer hesitated, first went up and tore off the black cloths covering the faces of several killers, kept their faces firmly in mind, and then took the six people lent to him by Wang Fulin, and immediately set out on the way home.

As soon as he left, Wang Fulin looked at the masked killers on the ground, as well as Wu Xuan's four cramped entourage, knowing that they were selected from the third class of Wuyuan County, and suddenly smiled: "Although Wu Xianzun is in danger this time, it seems that someone just designed a rollover on the road to block the official road, and set up a tea stall on the roadside to give medicine, but Wu Xianzun was anxious to rush to Fucheng, if no one pouted, it may not be delayed for a moment to rest and drink tea." So, do you know why I didn't let you follow Wu Xianzun? I'm just afraid that someone will not die, and he plans to make a tripper hurt him! ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the four entourages changed greatly, and at that moment, three of them looked at the thin and tall man in the middle, and some people scolded angrily: "Xing Laosi, you dare to collude with others to harm the county honor!" ”

"I didn't, I didn't!"

That Xing Lao was as earth-colored as he was, but he could see Wang Fulin looking at the killers who had been torn off the black cloth with their faces torn off, and he was clearly thinking about how to make these people speak, he suddenly got up and pulled his legs and ran, but before he ran a few steps, he only felt a sharp pain in his legs, and the whole person fell to the ground at once. When he was brought back, he saw a handsome young man beside Wang Fulin playing with a shiny flying knife between his fingers, his scalp was numb, and he hurriedly pleaded: "I was forced, forced!" They were sent by the Longyuan Shaw Clan, and before the Longyuan Shaw Clan had a life lawsuit, the county respected it impartially, and several old cases such as land fighting were all biased towards the bitter master, so they took advantage of this rural chaos and wanted to take the opportunity to find Wu Xianzun for revenge! ”

When a few masked men revealed their true faces, they already knew that something was wrong, and when they saw that this neiying had already opened their mouths to reveal the truth, they fell into a very hopeless situation. Having heard Wang Fulin sign up for Wu Xuan before, they already knew that the person in front of them was the famous Wang Xiaoguan of Huizhou Mansion, and they didn't talk about what kind of literary name or what kind of jinshi they were, but the legend that anyone who committed a crime in the hands of this person would definitely not end well made them shudder. At this moment, the two people who were not so close to the Shaw Family, but who were just collecting money from people and eliminating disasters from others, immediately turned against the water, claiming that they didn't know that it was Wu Xuan who they wanted to kill.

Wang Fulin didn't expect to ask about people's plans all the time, but he was thinking about how to settle these guys, and when he heard them say that the Longyuan Shao family and Cheng Wenlie in Wuyuan City were all a little colluded, although he was not surprised, but when they said that those famous families in Wuyuan County were more or less supporting this trouble, and even someone went to ask Yu Maoxue, who had just been dismissed from his post for the people, to take the initiative, his brows couldn't help frowning.

At this moment, an anti-water killer suddenly hesitated and said: "I also went to Yu's house with me, but after eating the closed door, Master Yu didn't see anyone at all." But when we came out, we found that there seemed to be someone watching around the Yu family, and it looked like a staring eyeliner. ”

"How do you know it's eyeliner?"

"When we used to stare at the fat sheep, we all ......did the same" As soon as the words came out, the man realized that in order to get rid of the crime, he accidentally confessed to other things in the past, and immediately shut up and never said more.

However, Wang Fulin had already heard enough news, and he couldn't help but feel that things were really tricky at this time. It seems that although Yu Maoxue said that he was dismissed from his post for the people, some bigwigs in the DPRK and China did not intend to stop there, but they were afraid that they were still planning to take advantage of the summer tax silk dispute in the six counties, and take advantage of the trouble in the countryside to implicate Yu Maoxue, and then step on 10,000 feet. As for those who are staring at the left side of the Yu family, they are either Jinyiwei or Dongchang's eyeliner, but fortunately, Yu Mao is smart and cautious enough after returning to his hometown.

But others don't care if the six counties of Huizhou will make trouble, some people want to seek fame, some people want to make profits, and some people want to suppress political opponents, but as a native of She County and Huizhou, how can he sit back and watch the Huizhou Mansion make trouble?

Xiuning's side he sent Ye Qinglong, and sent Li Erlong and Zhao San Mazi and a few others to Liaodong, and sent the best of them over, thinking of waiting for the opportunity to move, and with the good reputation of the Huizhou Rice Industry Guild in the past few years, he may be able to suppress it at that time. On Wuyuan's side, he came to investigate in person, but he didn't expect to really bump into such an outrageous thing as Wu Xuan's almost assassination. Pinched his fingers and calculated, from the government to argue fiercely, Yao Huizu favored She County, and overpowered the five counties, so far about ten days have passed, except for Xiuning and Wuyuan, what is the reaction of the other three counties? What about the situation in the capital city of Huizhou and the county seat of Shexian?

After thinking about it, Wang Fulin finally made up his mind: "Go to two people, find some villagers who respect and love Wu Xianzun, tell Wu Xianzun about the almost assassination of Wu Xianzun, and let them bring his four entourage and these assassins back to Wuyuan County." Xiaobei, you take two people to stay, keep an eye on the back, just in case, I'll take someone back to Fucheng first! ”

Xiaobei was stunned when she heard this, but thinking about it, it is indeed very important on Wuyuan's side, no matter how chaotic Fucheng is, it can't be compared to here, Wang Fulin shouldn't have any problems when she goes back, she finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, be careful yourself!" ”
