Chapter 17 When he came out of Xu's Mansion only after opening his eyes all night, the night was already dark, and a hazy hidden moon appeared in the sky, but Xia Mu felt that his heart was heavy, this Zhang Zheng was escorted by Xu Jie, and what about himself?

Listening to Xu Jie's words at the dinner, it seemed that he didn't think about asking him, a disciple who had just started, to participate in the imperial examination.

Seeing that the imperial examination is coming, where should he go?

It's just a dark alley, all of which are dew in the night, ticking and ticking, only Xia Mu's own footsteps.

Suddenly, there was the sound of messy footsteps behind me. Xia Mu frowned, kept a conscious eye, and quickened his pace, but after only a few steps, the exit in front of him was blocked.

Through the hazy moonlight, Xia Mu could faintly see that the people who came seemed to be a group of big men in black, and suddenly his heart sank.

Neither of the two sides moved, and Xia Mu didn't dare to move, who knew that after a cup of tea, he didn't see the other party move. Just when Xia Mu was about to break in, chaotic footsteps suddenly sounded behind him, and several Dongchang fans in red factory uniforms, led by a man, entered from the outside and arrived opposite Xia Mu in a blink of an eye.

"Dongchang Fanzi?" Xia Mu's eyes were very shocked, could it be that he killed Zhao Wenhua and was learned by Dongchang Fanzi?

The person who took the lead looked at Xia Mu expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice: "Are you the Jinyi Guard from the southeast who is from the hundred-household Xia Mu?" ”

Xia Mu felt bad, but he still forced himself to calm down in his heart: "It's exactly below." ”

"Huh! Xia Mu, you are so bold! The leader shouted: "You colluded with the Japanese slaves, misreported the military situation, and dared to swagger here!" ”

Xia Mu was shocked when he heard this, and he wanted to add to the crime, so there was no excuse! hurriedly explained: "Hugh wants to frame, I am a hundred households under the jurisdiction of the Fusi of Beizhen, and Dongchang has no right to intervene!" ”

Who knew that the leader sneered again and again: "Beizhen Fusi? Hehe...... Yan Shaoting, a thousand households of the Fusi Division of Beizhen, can testify for Dongchang, and Xia Mu of one hundred households provides perjury! ”

"Yan Shaoting harmed me!" The killing intent in Xia Mu's eyes was revealed, and his voice was as awe-inspiring as a knife, "I want to meet Chengguo Gong!" ”

When the leader heard this, he was furious and said, "Take it and bring it back for careful questioning." ”

On the side, he couldn't wait for a long time, but before Xia Mu could make a move, he was secretly released by the incense that was secretly released earlier, and a few fans immediately grabbed Xia Mu firmly, and he was about to run out.

"It's Mixiang, let go of my ......" The sudden change made Xia Mu want to scream, but he was covered by someone and blindfolded, he could only make a whining sound, and in a blink of an eye he was taken away from this alley.

Xia Mu felt groggy as if he had gotten into a carriage.

On the carriage, Dongchang Fanzi, who grabbed his hand, suddenly let go, and Xia Mu was slammed on the hard car board, only to feel that his eyes were full of gold stars and his side face was painful.

At this moment, the rag from his mouth was pulled off, and he did not bother to speak, and hurriedly began to breathe heavily.

At the same time, an old voice sounded in his ears: "You are a smart person, I will not beat around the corner, hand over the account book, spare you from death!" ”

Hearing the account book, Xia Mu's heart tightened. The cold sweat on his forehead came down.

But the mind is spinning at high speed, considering many situations.

When he was silent, he only heard the old man continue to sneer: "You think that a small account book alone can bring down Zhao Wenhua." That Zhao Wenhua has his connections, and Hu Zongxian may not have his plans. In the end, it wasn't you, the little shrimp, who was the scapegoat. ”

Xia Mu's heart froze, the old man seemed to know what was recorded in the account book, but who could do it to his own little-known little hundreds? The most likely is Yan Shifan, but it is not excluded that Xu Jie, Li Mo and the like, but it should not be very likely. Because for Xu Jie, he is his student and a descendant of his mentor Xia Yan, and Xu Jie may not know that he has an account book in his hand.

Could it be Zhu Xizhong?

Zhu Xizhong is not only the leader of the Jinyi guard, but also the emperor's most loyal guard leader, the commander of the five armies in the capital, and the person who now knows that he has an account book, but why is he? If he wants the account book, he can ask for it clearly, with his identity, even if Xia Mu doesn't want to give it, he must give it! …… Thinking about it, it is nothing more than one of Zhu Xizhong, Yan Shifan and Li Mo, but who is it?

Just when Xia Mu wanted to dig deeper, the carriage seemed to stop, he was pushed off the carriage and brought into a hut, the old man asked patiently for a long time, but Xia Mu was silent, so that the old man got nothing, and finally the old man's temper also came up, and said coldly: "Boy, there is a way in heaven for you not to go, and there is no door for hell for you to break in!" ”

Xia Mu smiled indifferently, but for the first time in his heart, he panicked, only listening to the footsteps of many people in the house, and then the sound of the door being opened and the door locked.

Immediately afterwards, the old man's cruel voice came from outside the door: "Anyway, only this kid knows about the account book, others are living account books, go get some dry firewood, and burn him alive, it is equivalent to burning the account book, and we can go back to our lives!" ”

Xia Mu was shocked in his heart, the ledger was hidden by him on the inside of his crotch, originally to prevent the stuffing from being exposed in the Xu Mansion, but who knew that he had escaped the search of the old man, but at this moment, when he heard that they were going to burn himself, he hurriedly sat up against the wall, groping for tools that could escape.

It's just that after a while, Xia Mu smelled a smell of firewood smoke, thick smoke, and he took a puff, choking and coughing, and an unprecedented fear hit his heart.

He knew that the old man was really going to burn him to death, so he hurriedly struggled, but the more he struggled, the more smoke he inhaled, and he thought about the way to save himself from most fires in later generations, so he hurriedly lay down on the ground and rolled towards the wall.

Listening to the sound of dang, it seemed to be a worn-out hoe, Xia Mu was happy in his heart, and hurriedly groped along the ground, and after a while, he touched a square iron hoe, which seemed to be embroidered, so that it could be used, he hurriedly twisted the button on his hand that had been screwed with cloth strips, and strangled it along the hoe, only to see two deep blood marks left on his wrist, which made him gasp in pain.

With a pop, the strip of cloth finally broke, Xia Mu hurriedly tore off the black cloth on his eyes, only to see that the dilapidated earthen house was already billowing with smoke, and he couldn't look down on the real and the virtual at all, he hurriedly picked up the worn-out hoe, looked at the earthen wall behind him that had cracked a big gap, and slashed hard.

With a bang, a large area of dirt fell down on the earthen wall, but a large gust of cold wind blew in, Xia Mu was overjoyed, and hurriedly climbed out along the small hole.

Just when he went out, he saw a bright blade in front of him, horizontal in front of him, surrounded by more than a dozen men dressed in black and holding swords.

The first short man came through the thick smoke, and said with a sneer: "Good boy, there are really two hits, hand over the account book if you know each other, I can give you a whole corpse!" ”

The corners of Xia Mu's mouth raised a sneer, and the hoe in his hand raised an arc, which hit Lao Tzu's chest at once, and now he used all his strength, only to hear the sound of bones breaking from the old man's chest, and then there was a scream like killing a pig: "Kill ...... Kill this kid! ”

Suddenly, more than a dozen men who stretched out their hands to surround Xia Mu, but no one dared to go up, only to see Xia Mu holding a fire gun in his hand, although he could only hit an iron egg for a moment, but just this one iron egg could kill a person, and no one wanted to be the first bird.

Just when there was a stalemate, a sneer came from afar: "The fan of Dongchang has actually become Yan Shifan's lackey, it seems that Huang Jin, the commander of Dongchang, seems to be far inferior to Bi Yun!" ”

Xia Mu heard this voice, and his heart was overjoyed, it was actually a knife meteor.

Sure enough, I saw that under the thick smoke of the night sky, a slash of the saber flew sideways, like a meteor at first glance, and half of the face of a Dongchang fan was cut into a blur of flesh and blood.

"Why are you here!" Xia Mu looked at the knife meteor that walked out, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

"I saw that Yan Mansion was abnormal tonight, and I dispatched a lot of good hands, so I followed over to take a look, but I didn't expect to run into you kid!" Dao Meteor has a pair of narrow eyes, staring at the rioting fan in the distance like a hungry tiger.

"You go first, there are horses I prepared in advance in the woods on the left, and these people will be handed over to me!" Without waiting for Xia Mu to reply, the knife meteor rushed forward.

Xia Mu knew that the sword meteor kung fu was far above him, so he didn't have to worry about protecting himself, so he ran towards the east grove, and really saw a red horse tied under the stump.

Xia Mu immediately mounted a fast horse and headed towards the outer city, and galloped wildly on his side horse.

The wind is slanting and drizzling, and the autumn water is deep.

By the time Xia Mu ran back to Yang Wan's old house in the city, the east had become white, and the courtyard was still quiet, but he was about to push the door in, but he heard someone on the side shouting softly: "Is it Brother Xia?" ”

Xia Mu turned his head to look, and saw Xue Hua standing in the corner, waiting for him, unclear in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Xue is here late at night, but there is something important?" ”

Xue Hua tightened the bullfighting tent on his body, sighed, and hurriedly said, "Brother Xia, you can make me wait, I've been waiting here for most of the night!" ”

When Xia Mu heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and his heart was thinking, but a smile appeared on his face: "Brother Xue is tired, I'm going to visit the teacher!" ”

"Teacher?" Xue Hua didn't know that this Xia Mu actually had a teacher in the capital, so he thought that he was just a famous gentleman, so he asked in passing, "Brother Xia's teacher must also be a famous gentleman!" ”

Xia Mu smiled: "The teacher is busy with official business, I'm afraid he has already gone to Xiyuan to accompany him at this moment, right?" ”

"Accompaniment...... Accompaniment? Xue Hua shuddered when he heard this, can he go to Xiyuan to accompany him? My God, he can count the people who can go to Xiyuan to accompany him in this Sijiu City with one finger, this is really a person who cannot be seen, the sea water is not measurable, I can't imagine a small brocade and a hundred households, there is such a big backstage.

The expression on Xue Hua's face immediately changed to a friendly smile, and he asked cautiously: "I just don't know which university scholar Brother Xia's teacher is?" ”

Xia Mu shook his head and said nothing, and answered the question: "Brother Xue is waiting here late at night, but there is something important?" ”

Hearing this, Xue Hua was excited, and slapped his head violently: "I almost missed a big event, Du Du invited Brother Xia to go to the Hanyan Building tomorrow morning, remember to ask for the third watch in the morning, and get up early in the morning!" ”

"Tianming three watches?" Xia Mu was taken aback, these three watches are dimly bright, what does Zhu Xizhong have to ask him to go to the restaurant to meet? Thinking about it, he opened the gate of the courtyard without a trace, and smiled at Xue Hua, "Brother Xue went in and sits?" ”

Xue Hua was going to set it off, but it could be seen that Xia Mu had already made a gesture of eviction, so he hurriedly shook his hand: "No, no, I still have to go home to accompany my wife, brother, you should also go in and rest." ”

After saying that, Xue Hua turned around and left, but his heart was like turning over the river and the sea, he couldn't imagine that there was a small brocade with hundreds of households, and there was a tough backstage such as a cabinet scholar behind him, no wonder he calmed down Yang Qian, and treated this Xia Mu so well!
