Ma Qianli and Li You negotiated in just a few words, and someone in the crowd besieging Li You shouted violently: "Ma Qianli, you are shameless!" ”

Patriarch Ma didn't answer, and waved proudly to his family, "Children! Save Master Lee! ”

Dozens of people from the Ma family immediately rushed up, and the governor who was called Mu Lao Er by Ma Qianli could not do anything when he saw this. The brawl may not be lost, but his main target today is Li You, and with the Ma family coming out of nowhere to interfere here, it will be difficult to achieve the goal no matter what.

"Let's go!" Mu Lao Er shouted.

Watching Mu Lao Er lead the crowd to rush towards the alley at the other end, Li You quickly shouted: "Arrest Huo Kou and Mu Lao Er!" There's a big reward for catching it! ”

Hearing Lord Li's reward, the Ma family was very moved. However, the Ma family rushed in from the east alley, and Mu Lao Er and a group of people ran to the west alley, so it was difficult for the Ma family to stop people, and only caught two slow legs.

Li You sighed slightly, it would be difficult to catch it after this run.

At this moment, dozens of people appeared at the entrance of the alley in the west, just blocking the entrance of the alley, and they were all strong men from the color of their clothes. Li You was overjoyed, this eighty percent was sent by Shangzhi County to save him after receiving the news, and it was better to come early than to come by coincidence. hurriedly shouted: "Arrest the fugitive in front!" Rewards! ”

Later, there were Ma family chasing soldiers, and the front officials intercepted them, and the group of Mu Lao Er resisted stubbornly for a moment and were arrested, and only one or two small characters took advantage of the chaos to get away.

was escorted to the county office, and Li You was completely relieved and regained a sense of security.

Ma Qianli said humbly: "Fortunately, Master Li is safe and sound, I don't know..."

"Wait." Li You interrupted him, "This official has a doubt, why is it that only you happened to be able to gather dozens of strong men at that time, but you happened to be nearby?" ”

The horse patriarch replied preparedly: "The little one who led the clan to the city to buy rice, naturally he wanted to find strong strength to carry rice..."

"Oh, the official still thought that this person called Mu Lao Er was found by you to act."

Ma Qianli waved his hand again and again, "This Mu family is a big family in Sizhou, and they are richer and more powerful than the Ma family, how can they listen to the villain..."

"Go back and send your daughter." Li You nodded. muttered in his heart, wouldn't this Ma family have made up their minds to learn from Yujia Village to snatch him and then forcibly send the concubine to marry? It's just that he happened to be besieged, so he made a save appearance.

From this point of view, the scene directed by himself has a very bad head, and if you want to follow suit, ten of them can't afford to consume.

But it's really pitiful, when a woman has no status these days, she is like a toy, and she looks like she is going to be shoehorned in, and Lord Li sighed.

Shang Zhixian heard that Li You had returned to the Ya, so he hurried over with his old legs and said with a wry smile: "Master Li, in the future, this county will order dozens of soldiers to follow you, and you can't expect to be lucky every time." ”

Li You took more than 20 personal soldiers to protect him in shifts, and today he was seriously injured two of them. At first, he thought that there were enough people, but when he found that he was now facing dozens or hundreds of homeless families at every turn, and there were more than 20,000 people inside and outside Xuyi who were unfriendly to him, Master Li felt that he could not continue to play with his life, so he did not refuse the kindness of Shangzhi County.

"Thank you, Lao Zhixian. Today, it is said that these few are caught, and the official will try them in court, and they will be used in a place. ”

Shang Zhixian said strangely: "What is there to judge?" These bandits were caught red-handed and interrogated without wasting time on interrogation, and they were all locked up in prison for life and death. ”

"This official is going to try the first trial." Li You cut the railway. Judging from the dangerous situation just now and the ferocious momentum of the other party, Li You always felt that something was wrong in it, not like an "ordinary" incident in which ordinary people gathered to beat up officials.

Someone is definitely deliberately targeting him! Li You thought suspiciously. If he doesn't find out, how can he put his mind at ease?

Master Li borrowed the Xuyi County Court to try the case, but this time there were so many people who were arrested that they could not all be brought to the court. So they were all detained in the front yard of the hall to await trial, and first mentioned the suspected leader who was called Mu Lao Er by Ma Qianli.

A few big boards went down, and Mu Lao Er confessed to revenge with hatred because of the sinking of Sizhou, and there was nothing else to say.

Li You asked a few words and couldn't ask anything, so he asked the official to pass a message to the prisoners in the courtyard outside the hall: "The whistleblower will be exempted from punishment and rewarded heavily!" ”

Still didn't gain anything, Lord Li immediately became angry, took out the thunderbolt method, spilled the sticks fiercely, and ordered sharply: "Take the prisoners in the courtyard one by one to the platform and take heavy responsibility!" Tell the truth until you die! Then replace the next one! ”

He didn't believe it, and he couldn't get a word out of the dozens of people.

Under normal circumstances, it is enough to smile at the troublesome Sizhou refugees in accordance with the instructions of the imperial court for leniency, and it is understandable that he sank the city of Sizhou and made the Sizhou people resentful. But it is related to his surname, and it is very likely that there is a hidden enemy who wants to kill him, Li You does not mind filling in the surname of the perpetrator, and at this time, softness is suicide.

One or two in a row, they only confessed that they had come to take revenge on Master Li with hatred, so they were beaten to death by the ruthless big board.

Trick the ghost away, Li You sneered again and again. These dozens of people may not all know the inside story, and most of them are likely to be blindly followed, but he doesn't have the patience to distinguish them carefully.

When he changed to the third person, he finally had a nervous breakdown and was pressed to the platform and howled like crazy.

That's the opportunity, he might know something! Li You brought this person to the public case and shouted, "What do you know? It's better to recruit it truthfully! This official will save you from death! ”

"He's going to rebel! He's going to rebel! The crazy man pointed to Mu Laoer, who had been kneeling in the public hall for a long time and had not moved, and shouted loudly.

Rebel? Rebel! When Li You heard this extraordinary word, he couldn't help but straighten up and continue to ask.

Mu Lao Er raised his head suddenly, glared at the man, and opened his mouth to say, "Mu Yin!" Are you to death? ”

"Smash his mouth!" Li You ordered unceremoniously.

A servant stepped forward with a bamboo board and smacked Mu Laoer's mouth fiercely, and kept repeating it again and again, making him quiet for a while.

Without interference, Mu Yin knelt on the ground and cried, "He said that he is a true dragon emperor, and he has a dragon shape on his chest..."

The official opened Mu Laoer's shirt, and sure enough, he saw a birthmark on his chest, vaguely looking like a dragon.

This is a guy who knows a little bit about it! For some reason, Li You was a little excited in his heart, but his own life was important, he patted Xingmu, and said loudly: "If you want to rebel, what are you doing to besiege this official?" ”

"He said that kidnapping Li You and killing the sacrifice can raise his prestige and attract the heroes of Sizhou to return to his heart..."

It turned out that the second Mu Lao's full name was Mu Chengfeng, who was originally a rich peasant in the countryside and the patriarch of a branch of the Mu family, a big clan in Sizhou. With a dragon-shaped birthmark on his chest, he decided that he was different and a man with a destiny.

Mu Chengfeng had read books, but he didn't read anything, and he didn't have much knowledge in Sizhou, so he only knew how to read. Ping said that he loves the Three Kingdoms and the Water Margin the most, and there is a crooked and boundless reason.

This time something happened in Sizhou, Master Mu suddenly felt that the time had come, and said to his relatives: "If you want to win the world, you must first have a foundation; If you want to have a foundation, you must first win the hearts of the people, and now the hearts of the people in Sizhou can be used! As long as I kill Li You, the people's hearts will be attached, and then I will climb high and shout, Haojie Jingcong, great things can be expected! ”

In fact, Master Mu didn't think that he had to be the emperor, in case things were not harmonious, it would not be bad to be a prince. Deeply poisoned by the Water Margin, he believes that he knows very well the principles of "killing people and setting fires to collect peace" and "killing people and setting fire to the gold belt".

His great plan is to first put out the banner, and at the same time set up a ceremony to kill Li You's sacrificial flag, so as to gain the hearts of the people of Sizhou as the starting cause!

At the same time, he pulled up men and horses to attack Xuyi, and after obtaining grain and grass, he waved westward, occupied the ancestral tomb, and observed the wind direction of the world while absorbing the luck of the dragon vein. If the imperial court is willing to recruit him like a good man in Liangshan, it will accept it if it can be discussed, and continue to attack the central capital in the west if it can't be talked about, so as to map the Central Plains!

After reviewing Master Mu Chengfeng's rebellion plan, the well-informed Master Li was shocked and speechless for a long time.

Li You racked his brains and tried his best to guess for a long time, thinking that someone was plotting to kill him behind his back, and after a long time, it turned out that he met a very copycat thief, and the reason was that he could win the hearts of Sizhou people by sacrificing the flag! It made him suspicious and suspicious of all the people around him.

Well, this is indeed a rebellion, a rebellion that is extremely not on the stage, but it is also a rebellion if it is not on the stage! And it was a rebellion that appeared when the people in Sizhou were the most unstable!

The more Master Li thought about it, the more he couldn't cry or laugh, it was really a rebellion full of the spirit of small-peasant entertainment and imagination.

Others guessed that the emperor used a golden axe to chop wood, but this old man Mu was good, and directly guessed how the emperor was acted. And combined his conjecture with the theories learned from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Water Margin, and bravely put it into action.

"I heard that the thief was caught?" Shang Zhixian moved into the lobby with light and agile steps that were not commensurate with his age, and asked with bright old eyes.

Li You nodded heavily, "It's a case of rebellion." ”

Shang Zhixian asked expectantly: "This is Lord Li, how do you plan to report to the imperial court?" ”

Li You replied understandingly: "Of course, you and I worked together to catch the thief and crack this case of rebellion!" It's not like these times, bother your county to raise soldiers and strong men, don't care about the silver warehouse granary, go to the Mu family camp to search! Maybe there's something to be gained. ”

During this time, because of the influx of displaced people in Sizhou, according to historical lessons, Xuyi County guarded most of the soldiers and strong men in the silver treasury and granary, and even ignored the patrols at the city gate and on the street, otherwise why could the Sizhou refugees always easily gather 100 people. But at this time, what is more important is obvious.

What Li You means is that since this Mu Chengfeng has a rebellion plan, he must have prepared some household goods, and these are all the credit of the hard state.

Seeing Shangzhi County go out to order some people, Li You couldn't help but slap the table case when he was alone, and he was so excited that he almost lost his temper. shouted in my heart, the master has made so many contributions, and he has never put down the rebellion!

Although today's rebellion is just a big thing about sesame mung beans, far worse than the rebellion of the vassal king, it is still a rebellion after all. Although I came to Huaisi this time, although I worked hard and experienced many hardships, it was definitely worth the return fee! saved the ancestral tomb and quelled the rebellion, and the added credit was thin enough to lie down for a lifetime.

In the governor's line, Yang Futai wanted to hit his head against the wall several times in the study, and he regretted it! Rebellion cases, that's unavoidable, maybe once in a lifetime!

A group of anti-thieves took a turn outside Yang Junmen's gate, and as soon as they stretched out their hands, they were lightly let go by him as if they were laughing. Not only did he let it go, but he also gave it to Li You for nothing... Who the would have thought that those dozens of peasants were thieves?
