"Brother Yuan, I have arrested Xiahou Ying who you asked me to arrest." Da Niu entered the house and said loudly, then he was stunned, touched his head, and said honestly: "Huh? How are there so many people. Liu Ji, what are you doing? He looked at Liu Ji again, and his expression became angry again.

"He's Xiahou Ying?" The county lieutenant looked at the bound man with displeasure, and then frowned and ordered, "Go and verify." ”

When the official next to him heard the order, he immediately took out the animal skin and made a notice, he stepped forward to check it carefully, and then turned around and said to He County Lieutenant: "County Captain, this person is the fugitive Xiahou Ying, and the portrait on this arrest is the same person. ”

Hearing this, County Lieutenant He swept at Liu Yuan with cold eyes, he sneered, and said: "Pei County's virtue and talent even dare to hide the fugitive, come here, take it for me!" ”

"Wait!" Da Niu stepped forward and roared angrily, he looked at the servant, and said puzzledly, "What are you doing?" When did Brother Yuan hide the fugitive? ”

"Xiahou Ying is here, do you dare to quibble?" Liu Ji looked at Da Niu coldly and refuted.

Da Niu patted his head, and he smiled honestly: "You say that this Xiahou baby, I don't have a private hiding." No, just now Brother I was out on patrol, and I heard that someone reported that this Xiahou Ying was a fugitive, so I asked Da Niu to arrest him. County Lieutenant He, you came really fast, I just caught this, and you came to escort me. "The big cow's face does not change, he speaks sincerely, not like a fool.

This made He County Lieutenant a little confused, if this is the case, this Liu Yuan is not only innocent, but also has the merit of arresting the fugitives? County Lieutenant He's face was gloomy, and he glared at Liu Ji.

When Liu Ji heard this, it was also a gift, could it be that Li Zheng reported it to Liu Yuan? If this is the case, then isn't Li Zheng's words at today's wine table setting himself up? Liu Ji was also in a state of confusion, he scolded Li Zheng in his heart, seeing the expression of He County Lieutenant, he also knew that he had no way to retreat no matter what, Liu Ji gritted his teeth and said: "Xiahou Ying, is this Liu Yuan hiding you in the kiln factory?" ”

Xiahou Ying looked at Liu Ji coldly, with a touch of contempt, he said in a deep voice: "Phew! It was I, Xiahou Ying, who hid by myself. ”

"Impossible!" Liu Ji shouted, "It's the Surabaya Pavilion that Liu Yuan took you back to, and many people have seen it with their own eyes." ”

"Oh Liu Ji, you still dare to slander Brother Yuan." The big cow rolled up his cuffs and stared at the bull's eyes, with a fierce expression.

Seeing this, the county lieutenant He scolded: "Presumptuous! ”

Da Niu shrugged his shoulders in disdain, and then County Lieutenant He stared at Liu Yuan tightly, Zhang County's order told him very clearly, this Liu Yuan must be brought back to the county government today. County Lieutenant He asked sternly, "Liu Yuan, what other explanation do you have?" ”

"Huh!" Liu Yuan sneered at the corner of his mouth, and at the same time sighed and helplessly in his heart, this play between Da Niu and Xiahou Ying was nothing more than helping him, and now that Xiahou Ying has been tied up, he can only continue to act. Liu Yuan said expressionlessly: "Explanation? This Liu Ji is a person who deceives the world and steals his name, and with him, does He County Lieutenant have a relationship with this notorious person? ”

"Bold!" He County Lieutenant angrily reprimanded, Liu Ji's notoriety is already well known in Pei County, if it is rumored that he has a relationship with this person, won't it damage his reputation? It's no wonder that after hearing this, County Lieutenant He's face turned pale and he was annoyed, "Don't slander this county lieutenant, how can this kind of scoundrel have a relationship with me?" ”

Hearing that County Lieutenant He was so contemptuous of himself, Liu Ji was displeased, and he clenched his fists. All this is not because of you Liu Yuan, he hates it in his heart.

"That being the case, Yuan returned to the Surabaya Pavilion with this Xiahou Ying, how could it be said that Yuan was secretly hiding and protecting him?" Liu Yuan asked in a deep voice.

"This?" He County Lieutenant was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer, after he groaned, his expression was depressed, and he waved his sleeves and ordered: "What a sharp-toothed Liu Yuan." Let's go and escort this Xiahou baby back to the county jail. ”

Seeing this, Liu Ji was anxious, and he stepped forward and said hurriedly: "County Lieutenant He, you can't believe this Liu Yuan's words. ”

"Smack!" He County Lieutenant slapped Liu Ji in the face, "You scoundrel, don't let me go!" ”

"Liu Yuan!" Liu Ji touched his face and said with gritted teeth.

Seeing Xiahou Ying being arrested and returned, Liu Yuan couldn't hide his blame in his heart, and at the same time he was worried, he sighed. The big bull on the side finally stopped pretending to be honest, and he said eagerly: "Brother Yuan, what should I do?" ”

After Liu Yuan pondered, he patted Da Niu's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Thanks to you and Brother Xiahou this time, this Liu Ji probably won't give up." After a pause, he said again, "You stay in the pavilion, and I'll go find Xiao Xiancheng." ”

Out of the pavilion, Liu Yuan hurriedly drove the ox cart, and he couldn't care about the bumps along the way, just hoping that the ox cart could be faster. After seeing Xiao He anxiously, Liu Yuan explained his intention straight to the point, and when he heard this, Xiao He frowned, and he told him: "At this time, you must not go to the prison to investigate Xiahou Ying." ”

"Yuan understands." Liu Yuan nodded in response, he naturally knew Xiao He's worries, and then he said again: "Yuan was worried that Brother Xiahou would be punished in prison, so he came to find Xiao Xiancheng." ”

Xiao He nodded, and he said in a deep voice, "County Lieutenant He is a confidant of Zhang County Order, and I am afraid that this matter has the approval of Zhang County Order." As for this prison, I will let Cao Shen take care of it. ”

"Cao Shen?" Hearing this, Liu Yuan bowed slightly, this is the future general, he knew that Xiao He had a close relationship with Cao Shen, so he was also relieved. However, thinking that there was a shadow of the county order behind this, Liu Yuan became vigilant and cautious again, and it seemed that things were getting more and more complicated. And it is not difficult to see that all this is coming at him, and Xiahou Ying is just an introduction.

"Yuan Xie has passed Xiao County." Liu Yuan thanked him.

Xiao He waved his hand, he looked at Liu Yuan, and said: "Don't make mistakes in these ****, the county government is here, everything has me." Go back first, and I'll have someone take you through the side door. ”

"It's good!" Liu Yuan immediately said goodbye.

When they returned to the Surabaya Pavilion, Liu Fang and Zhou Bo also heard the news, and the three of them had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Liu Yuan, the big cow asked anxiously: "Brother Yuan, what did Xiao Xiancheng say, can Brother Xiahou be rescued?" ”

Liu Yuan shook his head, he looked at the three of them, and said in a deep voice: "During this time, you should be cautious in your words and deeds, and the matter of Brother Xiahou should not be discussed again." ”

"Brother Yuan, that's it?" Da Niu said in a muffled voice.

"Brother Xiahou has Xiao Xiancheng there, as for how to rescue him, he needs to study it from the beginning, and he can't be in a hurry." Liu Yuan is also lonely, if he takes a wrong step now, it is likely that the previous accumulation will disappear.

In this dreary room, a person hurried in, and after he saluted, he said: "Pavilion chief, Elder Wang has just been informed that there is one less piece of porcelain produced by the kiln factory. ”
