"Yu Hanyi came over on a detour, saying that Wu Ya and they were a mile away from the back, and they didn't make a move when they saw no big movement along the way, knowing that we would block them in front."

Jia Hao said in a low voice, he led people to run in front, saw these people first, and after meeting with Li Shi, he hurriedly reported the situation.

Finally caught up with ...... Li Xian gasped, and his heart was half settled. From Lizhuang to Xiniudu, the land route is more than 30 miles, and the waterway is nearly 50 miles. Unexpectedly, this group of people rode horses leisurely, and it took almost two hours to travel thirty miles, and they had already arrived in Xiniudu, and they walked back along the land route for a while before they caught up with these officials.

Seeing that Guan Yunniang on horseback was in good condition, he was also a little relieved, now let's see what the origin of these people is.

"Who are you? Dare to stop the Guangzhou official errand!? ”

The dismounted officer approached, nostrils to the sky and asked.

"Yingde practice bravery, patrol the road and prevent bandits! What are you doing? Where's the paperwork!? ”

A loud guard stood up and asked back with the same arrogance. This is Tao Fu, who was hit by an arrow when Niu Shiyi attacked Zhuangzi before, and after being injured, he entered the guard, and thought that this life was already Li Shi and the entire Zhuangzi. Now I see that someone dares to tie up the old Fengtian Village, or the daughter of the Guan family, no matter what official is wrong or not, if it wasn't for Li Xian's orders in advance, he would have raised his spear and rushed up. Now that he was being shouted by this official domineeringly, he was even more angry.

"Clerical ...... What paperwork do you need for official errands!? ”

The official frowned angrily, but when he heard Mao Sanmm coughing behind him, he suppressed the cold snort of Bahu, reached out and took out a sign from his waist, and raised it in front of everyone. Li Xi looked at it, his eyebrows furrowed tightly, "The Guangzhou general's pacesetter was acting on a mission in front of the battalion", and under it was a fire mark. 【1】

"See? We are not ordinary officials, we went out on business on the orders of the Guangzhou general Yamen! It's a soldier! ”

The official waved his hand impatiently: "Don't give way yet!" ”

It turned out that the green battalion soldiers should be on errands, so they were wearing official uniforms, Li Xian gritted his teeth, these people came from a really hard way, and they were still soldiers under the Guangzhou general.

"Arrest people without hooking? What did you do? ”

The road is hard, but it does not mean that he has to retreat, Li Xian stood up, pointed to Guan Yunniang on the saddle in front of him and asked in a deep voice, hearing the familiar voice, Guan Yunniang was even more struggling.

The so-called hook photo, like the warrant, is an official document sent by an official to bring people to the yamen. Even if you want to arrest someone, you have to have an arrest warrant, a summons warrant, or a document to assist in the trial, as in later generations, for example, if you want to investigate a case and search for an unknown suspect, you have to take out a "sea capture document". The sign held up by the official was just proof of identity, not proof of arrest. 【2】

"Hey...... You kid! ”

The official is annoyed, the soldier of the military standard, who is also an official, and his two identities are revealed, this kid is still entangled, what did he eat to grow up? He was about to scold, but Mao San, who was sitting on a high horse behind him, spoke.

"We're doing things for Master Zheng in Lord Qincha's family! Stop being verbose! Beware of your magistrate Li Zhushou and punish him, even this layer of soil has to be peeled off! ”

Seeing that these more than ten Lian Yong were spreading out in formation and vaguely surrounding them, Mao San played his hole cards. Lian Yong is a local township soldier, and he only helps the Xuntang soldiers to do chores, just like the guy with the government servant Kuaishou, but he is just helping idle wanderers and the like. The official can't be frightened, the name of General Guangzhou, these mud-legged people don't know it, they may not be able to hear it, but the weight of these words of Lord Qincha can be weighed by fools.

Li Xi snorted, Qincha?

"Who is it? Tang Youzeng or Saltai? ”

At this question, several military pacesetters shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! Dare to call Sa Daren by his name! ”

It turned out that it was the soldiers from the Guangzhou general that the Saltai family wanted, and Li Xian's heart was clear, so it was not an errand, but a private matter of the Saltai family, or the Saltai family.

"Who the hell are you, kid!?"

Mao San asked, twisting his face.

"General ...... of Yingde County Lianyong Association"

While reporting his position, Li Xi thought to himself, since you are a private matter, then I will act impartially.

Mao Sanleng paused, of course, this is not an official position, but the vice president of the "Public Security Management Joint Defense Volunteer Association" similar to the later generations. At present, the bandits in Shaozhou have just been peaceful, and the prefecture and county Lian Yong have contributed a lot to it, and many things can still be involved. Although the deputy leader of Lian Yong is young, he should still have power in his family, and he doesn't dare to treat him as an ordinary villager anymore, and it is difficult to be arrogant to the point of drawing a knife against the president of this association.

"Mao Sanye......"

The tooth man on the side looked at Li San for a while, his eyes suddenly widened, and he squeezed his throat, wanting to remind Mao San, but he didn't expect that Mao San was barely suppressing his anger and ignored him at all.

"The face of the Guangzhou soldiers, you don't give it, okay! But Lord Qincha's face, do you dare not give it!? ”

His slanted eyes bulged out, ready to be both soft and hard.

"Seeing that you are working the inspection, I will give you some tea money, so there is no need to ask about this matter, and don't make everyone unhappy."

He waved his hand, and the official in front of him crooked his eyebrows, and he was very unwilling to dig into his pocket, as if he wanted to grab a piece of broken silver.

"Face? Look for ...... on the ground."

Li Xian said coldly, his left hand was raised straight, there was already one more thing in his hand, the black and heavy iron pipe was facing the official who was digging out the silver, and the mouth of the pipe pointed less than a foot in front of the bridge of his nose, and the guy was stunned for a moment.

What is it?

With the flicking of Li Shi's thumb, this thought became the last thought of the official's life, the spark ignited, and there was a bang, and the official's head was really like a watermelon that had been smashed by a hammer, and the top of his head burst open, squirting out a large cloud of red and white debris slurry.

The pair of flint hair short guns on Li Shi's waist is already the second generation, Tian Dayou and He Gui have made a copycat flint hair machine, because of the problem of materials and technology, the life of the parts is limited, but it is enough to use it in Li Shi's self-defense weapon. Since it is a self-defense weapon, it is at least 145 mm caliber, with Li Xian's special cylindrical bullet, and the warhead is crossed, all of which are rushing to improve and stop the effect. A shot blasted out, and most of the blind bears were about to collapse, and the heads of people who were close at hand were exploded by Li Shi's shot, which was really a bit beyond the limit of violence.

Behind him, Mao San and those officials were shocked by this thunderous explosion, and in a trance, they saw Li Xi raise his right hand, and another black iron pipe pointed over.

"It's short ......"

Five or six steps away, Mao San subconsciously raised his palm, as if he thought he could block the bullet with his bare hands, and the thoughts in his head stopped abruptly in the second explosion before he finished flowing. In the white smoke fluttering, his fingers and palms shattered and flew, revealing only the broken wrist bones poked out by Bai Sensen at the bottom of his palm. And behind the palm, as if swelled by water, a pig bubble burst out, and a human head bloomed like a heavenly maiden scattered flowers, throwing a scarlet fountain high.

Mao San's shoulders and arms collapsed, but his body was still led by the saddle stirrups, and the human body with a broken head sat upright in the saddle, like a headless horseman.

The horse neighed, but did not jump a few steps, and was stopped by the guards who surrounded him in time, and there were a few miserable howls of people mixed with it, and three of the four officials behind Mao San were stabbed through the horse by those Lian Yong with a spear or two holes that they didn't know when.

"Well, that's your face."

A piece of something hit Li Shi's forehead with a stream of blood, rolling and falling to the ground, seemingly with a small cheek in his nose. Li Xi kicked away and said to himself in a cold voice.

In the chaos, the official who was dragging at the end was frightened and shook his hooves, just avoiding the attack of the two spears, he turned the horse's head, and galloped away with his whip desperately.

"Leave this guy to Wu Ya."

As soon as the words fell, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground in the distance was heard, accompanied by a high-pitched and tragic wail.

"Fourth brother...... Fourth Brother ......"

Pulling the handkerchief in Yun Niang's mouth and the rope on her body, she plunged into Li Shi's arms, tears falling down like a waterfall. Li Xi patted her on the back, and he was also sorry in his heart, this girl was really frightened.

"Director-General?"

Jia Hao picked up a string of things from the ground and frowned.

"I see......"

Li Xi took the string of glass water drop bracelets, shook his head and sighed helplessly, the reason why these officials came to Li Zhuang is not clear, but the reason why they arrested Guan Yunniang is clear, it should be for this bracelet. This thing is a waste product of Wu Chong's trial to make a water drop lens from Liulifang, and he simply made two bracelets and gave them to Guan Xuan.

Guan Xuan gave a string to her eldest sister, this is natural family affection, he has no objection at all, but he can't show it off. Unexpectedly, Guan Yunniang failed to endure her vanity and swaggered outside, causing this disaster.

Afterwards, Li Xian lamented that man is really not a god, and if there is no comprehensive and thorough understanding of many things, it is really impossible to make a definitive conclusion.

This will Guan Yunniang's heart has not yet settled, and Li Xi can't talk about her, so he only put away the bracelet and continued to let her tears soak her shoulders and chest.

"My name is Hong Da, I'm just a tooth man, I'm not in the same group as them! I'm also from Huangzhaidu! It's true! ”

The tooth man named Hong Da watched the six soldiers being killed in front of him, and he was already scared stupid when he saw six soldiers being killed in front of him, and he was already scared stupid, until Jia Hao woke him up with a slap. He knelt on the ground with his knees limp, and trembled and defended himself.

"I saw that it was the fourth brother, and I wanted to remind Mao San, but I didn't expect it...... Didn't expect ......"

As he spoke, the ground beneath him was already wet.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Li Xian comforted Guan Yunniang according to the habits of later generations, and then turned to look at Na Hongda.

"You say...... Why are you still alive? ”

Li Xian asked lightly, just when he saw that he was dressed as a local and secretly signaled to do it, he didn't list this person as a target.

"I ...... I'm a fellow villager with my fourth brother......"

Hong Da also said self-righteously.

"Who's with you folks! There are folks like you who come to arrest people with official missions!? ”

Wu Ya walked over from behind, still stained with a little blood on his body.

He ...... They are really the subordinates of the Qincha family, hired me in the county town, and the old man Zheng they are talking about came out of Bai Zongrong's general army yamen, and Zhou Zhongjun personally sent him out! ”

Hong Da said sharply in a sharp voice, the spear that Wu Ya was carrying, the tip of the spear was shaking in front of him, and before Li Xian could ask about the intention of these officials to send Li Zhuang, he would explain it all like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

"Directly send your family to find Bai Daolong, but not Li Zhushou? Hehe...... I see. ”

Li Xi understood that this was Sartai's private business. What should I do with the magistrate and Bai Daolong? That is, knowing that the black mine in this place was carried out by the chief soldier, and he wanted to cover his mouth with money, and neither side could get on the table in this matter. And that old man Zheng seemed to be dissatisfied with Bai Daolong's filial piety, and wanted to find more evidence in the local area to blackmail more silver, so he sent his men to Li Zhuang. originally wanted to arrest Guan Fengsheng, but when he heard that Li Zhuang was brave and vicious, he had the idea of taking hostages and leading Guan Fengsheng to the county seat to throw himself into the net.

This is going to be done against the minister...... confirmed that these guys were really Saltai's family behind them, and Li Xian was not shocked in his heart. Because of this, he decided that simply pulling out his gun and bombing it was the best solution. If you just forcibly save Guan Yunniang and let go of these people, there will be even more trouble when you turn back.

Speaking of which, this is an application of Occam's razor's rule, and there is also a small benefit, which is a small rehearsal of the rebellion. Look at Jia Wu and the other guards, there is no trace of fear on their faces because they killed the officials and soldiers, and these henchmen under him can already be fully trusted.

As for the trouble of killing these Guangzhou military pacesetters, it will be solved together with the trouble of the Satartai family.

Li Xi asked the tooth man, "Then what did you hear just now?" What do you see? ”

Hong Da kowtowed, "I didn't see anything, I didn't hear anything!" ”

"Idiot!"

Li scolded angrily, and Hong Da was stunned.

"You saw that these officials had arrested people, and they were killed on the spot by Lian Yong as a disguised official bandit, and they were taking things to Jinshanxun to wait for disposal!"

Hearing this, Hong Daleng came to his senses for a while, and suddenly made his bones tremble, Li Xi meant that this was just a misunderstanding, from beginning to end, both sides made it clear that there was no misunderstanding?

"You go back to the county seat and go and tell that Master Zheng like this."

Li Shi stared at Hong Da.

"Say one more word, say one less word, and I will not let you go. The crowd outside Li Zhuang is not big enough......"

Hong Da's face turned from white to blue, from blue to purple, and it took a long time to understand Li Shi's explanation.

"The aftermath of this matter must be solved while the iron is hot, let's go to Jinshanxun."

Li Xian patted his waist, and the fan that Tang You had given him also brought, originally intended to be used when fighting for official power, but he couldn't use it just now, and it might be useful later.

instructed his subordinates to clean up the scene, and asked Wu Ya to take someone to send Guan Yunniang home, Li Xi suddenly thought of the martyrdom that Duan Hongshi had mentioned before, and was worried about whether Guan Yunniang would also have any thoughts because of the lightness on the road, so he specially explained.

"Don't be cranky, don't do stupid things, I'm here for everything."

Seeing Li Shi and the others leave, Guan Yunniang's face was full of tears, but there was a hint of relief on her face.

"Fourth brother is thinking too much......"

She muttered to herself.
