Bai Xiaode was hugged by Qian Enming, and he couldn't move away, so he had to raise his knife to parry, but when he heard a crisp sound, Qiu Aqing was shocked to the point that his arms were numb, and the needle pliers came out of his hand and flew to the beam, but the steel knife in Bai Xiaode's hand was broken into two. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The needle pliers were a honey guard iron forged by Bu Yunfei. The hardness of the honey guard iron was originally higher than that of ordinary ironware, at the beginning, Bu Yunfei missed the construction period, for fear that Qiu Aqing would not give up, he was very careful when forging, and the heat was used enough, so the hardness and toughness of this needle pliers were several times higher than that of the ordinary honey iron. Bai Xiaode's steel knife is just an ordinary Tang Tie, and when he encounters this high-grade honey-protecting iron needle pliers, where can he withstand it, it will immediately break into two.

Bai Xiaode was taken aback, he didn't know what treasure Qiu Aqing was in his hand, seeing that the steel knife in his hand was broken, he was anxious, and hurriedly smashed the back of Qian Enming's head with the handle of the knife, Qian Enming snorted and collapsed to the ground, but his arms were hugged on Bai Xiaode's waist and did not let go.

Outside the door, there was a chaotic footsteps, and someone shouted, "There are assassins!" ”

Bai Xiaode was flustered, holding a broken knife, dragging Qian Enming, and pounced on Qiu Aqing, Qiu Aqing screamed in fright, but his hands and feet were weak, and he couldn't move, only to hear a thud, half of the blade stabbed into Qiu Aqing's chest and abdomen, Qiu Aqing fell to the ground on his back, blood splashed everywhere.

Bai Xiaode saw that Qiu Aqing was stabbed and was no longer alive, so he kicked Qian Enming away. There was a fire outside the door, and there was a shout, Bai Xiaode didn't have time to think about it, rushed to the back window, and hit his head out.

Outside the window, there is a high wall, which is the back wall of the Guandi Temple, which is three zhang high. But Bai Xiaode also knew it, used light skills, moved up the wall, jumped over, and fell lightly to the ground. I saw a woodland in front of me, and the forest was pitch black.

Behind him, the sound of blades colliding could be heard, and someone shouted, "Catch the assassin!" ”

"Catch a bird!" Bai Xiaode sneered and ran towards the forest.

Just ran a few steps, the wind burst out, and several arrows shot over, Bai Xiaode was shocked, one dodged, stuck to a big tree beside him, and three arrows flew over his chest. Bai Xiaode broke out in a cold sweat and shouted: "What person! Dare to plot against your white grandfather! ”

Before he could finish speaking, he felt a chill behind him, and a long sword came out from behind the trunk and stabbed him in the back.

A deep voice sounded in his ears: "Mr. Bai, I'm sorry, assassinating the princess is a great crime of rebellion, and you will die!" ”

"Zhang Tongyou......" Bai Xiaode went limp.

……

In the county office, the county magistrate Huang Richun walked around the lobby, restless.

Mrs. Niu sat on the Taishi's chair under the high plaque of the mirror and howled: "My poor brother...... You're unjustly dead...... Bai Xiaode, this bastard, the old lady wants to skin you......"

"Don't howl!" Huang Richun roared.

"Huang Richun, you bastard, if you don't arrest Bai Xiaode to the old lady, the old lady will even pick up your skin!"

During the day, Bai Xiaode killed Niu Kan on the street, and his wife Niu Shi cried with Huang Richun. Killing people to pay for their lives and paying off debts is also a matter of course. According to the law, the county does not have the right to directly behead criminals. Even if the evidence is conclusive, there must be a court verdict, report from the county to the state, and the state will review and approve the beheading. This is also the rigor of Tang Law, so as not to kill innocents by mistake.

It's just that the Niu clan was crying, and he had to force Huang Richun to make a decision against Bai Xiaode.

If this is placed in peacetime, he will not dare to execute Bai Xiaode privately if he borrows a hundred courage from Huang Richun.

Now the situation is different, An Lushan has broken through Luoyang, the troops are pointing directly at Tongguan, and Hedong has been cut off from the imperial court. The local governments can only do their own thing, not to mention, Huang Richun is still the confidant of Taiyuan Yin Wang Chengye, and killing a criminal casually is not a big deal. Besides, Bai Xiaode is not wronged.

However, on the third watch, Bai Xiaode escaped from prison.

Huang Richun was annoyed in his heart, he knew that this was the case, he should have beheaded Bai Xiaode immediately, where to wait until tomorrow.

Nothing goes well, everything doesn't go well.

Bai Xiaode ran away, but Zhang Tongyou, the servant, came.

Zhang Tongyou is here to urge the conscripts.

According to the military register, Yangquan Pass should send 500 strong men to Niangzi Pass. But Zhang Tongyou is a lion who opens his mouth widely, and asks Yangquan to recruit at least two thousand strong men!

Originally, it was the 500 strong men with names and surnames on the military register, and it was difficult to recruit them. Yangquan military households have become a bad account, Bai Xiaode's matter is caused by the unclear account books, I thought that if Bai Xiaode was used to make an example of Bai Xiaode, those military households would honestly join the army. But Bai Xiaode took the flail to the street, and actually killed Niu Kan on the spot, and let him escape. As a result, the originally trembling military households became bold again, and many began to resist the conscription, and even fled from Yangquan with their families.

Even the basic 500 strong men can't be recruited, how can 2,000 strong men be recruited!

But Zhang Tongyou was unrelenting, sitting in Yangquan, and within three days of Huang Richun, he would make up enough and send him to Niangzi Pass.

There is a tigress in the house who is noisy, and there is a servant outside the house who is persecuted, and Huang Richun is not a person inside and out.

was anxious, and a servant hurriedly ran up to the lobby: "My lord, Lord Taifu Qing is here." ”

Huang Richun suddenly had a headache, but he had no choice but to say, "Please." ”

Before the official could withdraw, Zhang Tongyou had already walked up to the lobby.

Niu was still sitting on the public desk and howling, when he suddenly saw Zhang Tongyou, his howling and crying stopped abruptly, and he hurriedly retreated into the back hall. Although Niu's sprinkled, he also had some eyes, knowing that Zhang Tongyou was not easy to mess with.

Huang Richun arched his hand and said: "I don't know if Lord Zhang came here late at night, and he missed the distance, please forgive me." ”

Zhang Tongyou's face turned pale: "Lord Huang, this official has brought you good news!" ”

Huang Richun bowed his head and said, "Don't dare, please speak clearly." ”

"Bai Xiaode is dead!"

"Seriously!" Huang Richun was taken aback: "How did Master Zhang know?" ”

"Bai Xiaode escaped from the prison, and went to the Guandi Temple to assassinate Princess Jin Yao, the official happened to patrol the Guandi Temple at night, and met him on a narrow road, Bai Xiaode was arrested for fear of crime, and was captured and killed by the official on the spot. Bai Xiaode is dead, and Lord Huang can explain to Mrs. Zun! ”

The assassination of the princess is not trivial, although Qiu Aqing is just a fake princess, but she was appointed by the emperor after all, and the life and death of the princess are related to the face and dignity of the royal family. If the news reached the emperor's ears, the emperor would not be willing to give up. Therefore, when Zhang Tongyou was talking about the conditions with Bai Xiaode, he didn't plan to let Bai Xiaode go at all. Bai Xiaode entered the Guandi Temple, Zhang Tongyou led people to set up an ambush outside the courtyard wall, Bai Xiaode jumped out of the courtyard wall, and just fell into Zhang Tongyou's ambush circle.

Zhang Tongyou killed Bai Xiaode, and Princess Jin Yao was assassinated, and there was no proof of death!

Huang Richun didn't know the inside story, and when he heard that Bai Xiaode was dead, he finally gave his wife an explanation, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Thank you Lord Zhang for your help!" Huang is grateful! ”

"There's bad news, though." Zhang Tongyou said: "Princess Jin Yao and the chamberlain Qian Enming have already been poisoned by Bai Xiaode!" ”

"What!" Huang Richun almost fainted.

Princess Jin Yao is dead, Wang Chengye can't spare him!

That's going to be a head-off!

Huang Richun was stunned for a long time, and suddenly said: "Lord Zhang, this matter is strange! ”

"How's that going wrong?"

"Bai Xiaode and Princess Jin Yao don't know each other, why did he assassinate her! He didn't even know that the princess lived in the Guandi Temple! Huang Richun stared at Zhang Tongyou and said: "Lord Zhang, with all due respect, how can Bai Xiaode escape from prison easily when he was locked in prison by his subordinate and carried an eighty-pound flail?" ”

"It's up to Lord Huang himself."

"But the lower officials heard that half an hour before Bai Xiaode escaped from prison, Master Zhang went to the prison!" Huang Richun stared at Zhang Tongyou and sneered.

If it was on weekdays, Huang Richun would not dare to be so presumptuous in front of the servant Zhang Tongyou, tonight, he was forced to a dead end, and he couldn't take care of it much. Two thousand strong men can't get together, and Princess Jin Yao died, Wang Chengye had to kill him!

"Lord Huang is saying that the official let Bai Xiaode go?"

"Not only that, Bai Xiaode's assassination of Princess Jin Yao should also be at the behest of Lord Zhang!" Huang Richun said: "Lord Zhang, the lower officials are so speculative, and they are forced to do so, please forgive me Lord Zhang!" However, although the lower officials did not know what the festival between Lord Zhang and Princess Jin Yao was, the lower officials also understood that Lord Zhang was also loyal to the country, and there must be unspeakable hidden! ”

Huang Richun told Zhang Tongyou that he knew very well that the assassination of Princess Jin Yao must have been manipulated by Zhang Tongyou behind the scenes. Now he has been cornered, and he has no choice but to break the matter. If Zhang Tongyou is willing to let him go, he can also keep his mouth shut.

Zhang Tongyou laughed: "Lord Huang is an understanding person! The official knows that Lord Huang is loyal to his duties and conscientious. These days, there is no shortage of errands. Yangquan County should recruit 500 strong men, considering that the people of Yangquan are insufficient, the official is specially approved, and Yangquan can recruit 300 strong men. ”

"Thank you for your understanding!" The number of soldiers was reduced from two thousand to three hundred, and Huang Richun breathed a sigh of relief.

"In addition, the official also found out that Lord Huang was ordered to protect Princess Jin Yao, and he was very dedicated, and specially sent Bai Xiaode, the most powerful capital in Yangquan, to guard the Guandi Temple. I never thought that Bai Xiaode saw that Princess Jin Yao was beautiful, and for a while he was full of fear, and wanted to mistreat the princess, but the princess was strong and swore to die, Bai Xiaode was angry and killed the princess. The chamberlain Qian Enming, in order to save the princess, was poisoned at the same time! Lord Huang, what do you think of this truth? ”

"It is! Xia Guan and Master Zhang will find out the truth together! Huang Richun arched his hand and said: "This matter still needs Lord Zhang to defend his subordinates in front of Lord Wang Chengye." ”

"Of course." Zhang Tongyou smiled faintly: "Lord Huang is really smart and wise!" ”

"Master Zhang is even better at chess!"

Zhang Tongyou had long expected that by borrowing Bai Xiaode's hand to get rid of Qiu Aqing, this matter could not be concealed from Huang Richun, the commander of Yangquan County. Even if he can't react tonight, in a few days, he will think of Zhang Tongyou. Just imagine, how could a small capital in Yangquan County assassinate the princess for no reason!

Therefore, Zhang Tongyou simply came to the door and made a deal with Huang Richun.

As long as Princess Jin Yao and Qian Enming are dead, no one in this world will know the truth about Changshan, and Zhang Tongyou can sit back and relax.

Huang Richun no longer has to worry about the affairs of the strong man, and Zhang Tongyou has also removed the big trouble of his henchmen.

Both sides take what they need and hit it off.

Suddenly, I heard the outside of the county office, and the shouting shook the sky.

A servant ran up to the lobby and was out of breath: "My lord, it's a big deal!" ”
