Liu Yuan led everyone into Pei County calmly, and when they arrived outside the county yamen, Lu Taigong had been waiting with Lu Ze for a long time. Seeing Liu Yuan, Mrs. Lu said in a deep voice: "Virtuous son-in-law, have you explained everything clearly at home?"

Liu Yuan bowed, how could he not know the thoughts of Lu Taigong, and immediately replied: "Father-in-law, don't worry, everything has been explained, this kiln factory will be taken care of by Wang Lao and Liu Fang, and the supply of our Lu Mansion will not change."

Hearing this, Lu Taigong breathed a sigh of relief, he smiled again, and nodded with satisfaction. Lu Ze stepped forward and slapped Liu Yuan's chest, and said with a smile: "Brother Xian, Brother Xian, Brother Fool has always said that he wants to invite you to dinner, but there is no chance yet, when you return from Jiuyuan this time, no matter what, the two of us brothers will have a meal......"

"According to what my brother said, when Yuan returns, we won't get drunk." Liu Yuan is also hearty.

Then, Lu Ze took out a roll of animal skins from his arms, stuffed it into a bamboo tube, handed it to Liu Yuan, and then suddenly said solemnly: "Now the pottery and even porcelain of the Surabaya Pavilion have spread all over Shangjun. At this time, the map drawn by the foolish brother during this time may be useful to you, and the virtuous brother will take it with him. ”

Liu Yuan was overjoyed in his heart, this Lu Ze really gave him a big surprise, this map is hard to buy. He took the bamboo tube, carefully hung it on his waist, and then bowed to Lu Ze and said, "Brother Xie Yuan."

At this time, Xiao Xiancheng walked out with a servant, Liu Yuan and others saluted one after another, Xiao He waved his hand and said, "They are not outsiders, so there is no need to be restrained." Then he said, "Zhang County ordered me to come and hand over the prisoners, this is Cao Shen, the prison guard, who is the main person in charge of this escort, Liu Yuan, you are responsible for assisting." ”

Liu Yuan looked at Cao Shen, who was about forty years old, and although his figure was not as burly as Da Niu, it was difficult to hide his strength. Cao Shen has a calm personality and a mustache on his face, Liu Yuan immediately arched his hand and said: "Liu Yuan, the head of the Surabaya Pavilion, has seen Cao Xuanpeng."

Cao Shen laughed, he said in a deep voice: "Little Brother Liu, don't be so polite, I often hear Xiao Xiancheng mention you, I still need to work together to escort you this time, just call me Brother Cao."

Cao Shen was refreshing, and at the same time, he also revealed that he had a close relationship with Xiao He, which could be regarded as narrowing the distance between him and Liu Yuan. When Liu Yuan heard this, he also said in a deep voice: "Brother Cao is straightforward, how can Yuan twist, I hope Brother Cao will take care of it on the way."

"Let's gossip on the way, you two go to the prison and count the prisoners." Xiao He looked at the hour and commanded.

"No!" Liu Yuan and the others immediately saluted and took orders. When they arrived at the prison, Cao Shen led people to drive the prisoners out, these prisoners were tied with their hands, as if they knew that they were going to Yao, and the expressions of the prisoners were different, some were miserable, some were vicious. Liu Yuan said to the big cow beside him: "You take someone to count the number of people, and check whether the hemp rope is tied in turn, and there must be no mistakes."

Da Niu responded, and then took the strong man of the Surabaya Pavilion to carefully inspect it according to the instructions. Cao also nodded secretly when he saw this, and Liu Yuan's caution made him quite appreciative.

"Brother Xiahou?" Da Niu suddenly let out a surprise, he looked at the man in front of him with a cloak and a prison uniform, and shouted excitedly.

"Big Bull?" Xiahou Ying also exclaimed, "Why are you here?" ”

"Don't mention it, this county order asks Brother Yuan to take someone to escort Yao Gong." Da Niu explained depressedly.

At this time, Liu Yuan also rushed over when he heard the sound, he saw Xiahou Ying, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xiahou, you have been wronged during this time."

"No problem." Xiahou Ying smiled casually, "Xiao Xiancheng and Cao Prison have taken good care of me. However, Brother Yuan's escort to Yao is a chore, and you can't take it lightly. He said with concern.

Liu Yuan nodded, and then said softly and in a low voice: "Brother Xiahou, don't worry, on this way, Yuan Zi will find a way to rescue." Xiahou Ying is a rare fierce general, how could Liu Yuan watch him go to serve in Yao?

"Hmm. How could the baby not believe in Brother Yuan? Xiahou Ying nodded solemnly.

And at this moment, with a cold snort, Liu Ji and Fan Xu were brought out, and when they saw Liu Yuan, Fan Xu scolded with a hot temper: "Okay, you treacherous Liu Yuan, I have the ability to compare with my bare shoulders."

Hearing this, Da Niu rolled up his cuffs angrily, and he shouted roughly: "I Da Niu is competing with you."

"Nonsense!" Liu Yuan suddenly scolded in a low voice, "Is it child's play for you to be escorted here?" If you don't change your impatience, go back to the pavilion for me now! ”

"Brother Yuan, I'm wrong!" The big bull lowered his head and admitted his mistake in a deep voice.

The reason why Liu Yuan scolded him so harshly was also to take the opportunity to beat a big bull, if his character was not sharpened, in case he got into trouble when he left Pei County, it would not be conducive to escorting. "Brother Yuan is not angry, and Da Niu also knows the severity." Xiahou Ying persuaded from the side.

"I'll spare you this time." Liu Yuan said in a loud voice, and then he looked at Liu Ji again, and saw that the latter was much haggard, and he didn't have any sympathy, which was also Liu Ji's own fault, "Take it away!" ”

"Liu Yuan, I, Liu Ji, admit it, you kid, you are more vicious than me." Liu Ji gritted his teeth and said hatefully, his eyes full of fierceness.

Liu Yuan turned a deaf ear, and after Liu Ji and the others were taken away, he cautiously ordered: "Zhou Bo, what about the hemp rope you prepared?" You go and tie these prisoners together in front of you. After a pause, he said again, "Brother Xiahou doesn't need it." In addition, you should also pay more attention to Liu Ji and a few people on the road. ”

"Bo, just do it." Zhou Bo nodded in agreement, and then arranged for people to start tying up the prisoners front and back, the purpose of which was to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to escape.

After the counting and preparation, Liu Yuan and Cao Shen escorted the prisoners to the outside of the county office, Cao Shen stepped forward, bowed his hand, and said: "Yu Xiao County, a total of 135 prisoners, has been counted, and there is no mistake."

"Well, then, let you go." Xiao He ordered in a deep voice.

"No!" Liu Yuan and Cao Shen received orders at the same time. In this escort, in addition to Cao Shen, there were ten officials to follow. Of the more than 20 strong men on the side of the Surabaya Pavilion, Liu Yuan also opened the arsenal in the morning and distributed blades to deal with the crisis on the road.

In Pei County, everyone walked fast, Liu Yuan and Cao Shen were in front, Da Niu was in the middle, and Zhou Bo was at the end of the team. More than 30 people escorted more than 130 prisoners, and Liu Yuan and Cao Shen had a heavy burden on their shoulders. Leaving the boundary of Pei County, all the way to the west, along Surabaya, within a day, arrived at Qian County.
