In the courtyard, there was a lot of noise, and heroes from all walks of life gathered together, surrounding the wooden stake. At this moment, Li Hongji and the three brothers and sisters of the Gao family stood side by side, standing in front of the wooden stake, with a solemn and solemn expression.

"Brother Hongji, what the hell is going on? Why do you dress up like this? Bringing out everything you can get out of the house, how do you look like you're fleeing? ”

"Yes, Brother Hongji, tell me, what happened? Let me tell you, the brothers are not people who are afraid of things, who dares not to have long eyes, let's make them look good? ”

"Yes, yes, Brother Ligong, you say, what happened? Do you need to be in such a hurry? Everything has brothers! ”

......

Everyone said a word, everyone was full of voices, they all looked puzzled, very puzzled, even Gao Guiying and Gao Yigong, who were standing on both sides, were at a loss, I don't know what happened? Even so, the two stood firmly beside their husbands, one by their eldest brother's side.

At this moment, looking at the noisy scene and the intensifying appearance, Li Hongji waved his hands vigorously, up and down, made a quiet gesture, and at the same time exerted enough strength, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, be quiet first, listen to my explanation, be quiet, and then I can tell you the reason and explain the reason." ”

Immediately, the noisy scene was brought under control and gradually calmed down, seeing this situation, Li Hongji continued: "I don't hide it, I think you have also heard of it, I, Li Hongji, am entangled in lawsuits, and the yamen will never let me and my eldest brother go." So, today, the four of us have to leave. ”

"Brother Hongji, we know this matter, all the people present are heroes, and they will never poke out your whereabouts, so they live here with peace of mind, why do you have to leave in such a hurry?" A person's voice sounded, in response to what Li Hongji said, and even more so to express everyone's hearts.

Li Hongji smiled indifferently, behaved very freely, and waited until the other party finished speaking, then continued: "We understand the kindness of your brothers, and we believe in your character. However, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and there is no whereabouts that cannot be revealed, and the official errand is blocked at the entrance and exit of Hulu Mountain, if we don't leave now, the four of us really can't go. ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone suddenly became silent, the original whispering buzz disappeared, the death-like silence, the sound of needles falling to the ground could be clearly heard, Gao Guiying and Gao Yigong on both sides were secretly anxious, and kept glancing at Li Hongji, which seemed to be saying: "It's all this time, what are you talking about, leave quickly~!" ”

However, Li Hongji was still calm, he was very calm, his hands were clenched into fists, and he said sonorously: "Everyone, the four of us can't delay any longer, as the saying goes, the green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, as long as I, Li Hongji, do not die, there will always be a time to meet." When the time comes, you can still eat wine and meat, learn martial arts, and laugh about the world. ”

In an instant, many people were infected by Li Hongji's spirit, conquered, and excited, and then someone echoed loudly: "The green mountains do not change, and the green water flows forever!" Brother Hongji, you should leave quickly, your kindness is in your heart, and those corrupt officials and officials dare not embarrass us! ”

This voice sounded, immediately woke up everyone, the reason why Li Hongji and the four of them did not leave immediately and went secretly was for the sake of their own people, and said hello in advance, so as not to be affected, this bearing and chivalry moved everyone, and they persuaded one after another: "Brother Hongji, leave quickly, what if those dogs don't dare to take us?" ”

Hearing this, Li Hongji did not stay any longer, and said loudly: "Farewell!" ”

Then he turned his head to the side, beckoned the three brothers and sisters of the Gao family, and said loudly: "Guilan, eldest brother, brother-in-law, let's go, those officials should come soon!" ”

At the same time, a passage appeared in front of the four of them, and just as they were about to take a step, Gao Yigong suddenly said: "Big brother, sister, brother-in-law, you go first, I'll go get my bow and iron fork, let's go into the mountain better." ”

Although Gao Yigong is the youngest of the four, it is undeniable that his statement is very right, thoughtful, thoughtful, and thoughtful, with hunting tools, even if he sleeps in the wilderness and is penniless, he can survive, Gao Ligong even echoed and said: "Okay, Yigong, I'll accompany you!" ”

At this time, the matter is very urgent, and there is no room for delay, let alone when she wants to let it politely, Gao Guiying immediately took over the burden and left with her husband Li Hongji one after another, just instructed: "Big brother, one gong, hurry up, we are waiting for you outside!" ”

For a while, the courtyard was very quiet, and everyone showed a very tacit understanding, and they retreated one after another, making way for two passages, so that Li Hongji and the Gao family brothers and sisters could walk and leave quickly.

I don't know when, the Gao family's yard is empty, it looks like an ordinary farm yard, chickens and pigs are crowing, and farm tools are placed in the yard, everything is so orderly, there is no trace of panic, as if the master's family went out to farm and went to work in the field.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps, which was very mixed, and there were no less than fifty or sixty people just listening to the footsteps.

Bang!

With the sound of a broken door, and then, with a hula, two teams of Ming soldiers broke in, divided into left and right sides, and poured into the courtyard of the Gao family, everyone holding spears, swords hanging from their waists, and their armor jingling bells, so not majestic.

Immediately, Yan Zibin, the county magistrate, appeared one after another, accompanied by a centurion, walked to the courtyard, looking at the scene in front of him, a quiet and somewhat strange scene, Yan Zibin immediately ordered: "Spread them all out for me, give me a careful search, and be sure to catch the three brothers and sisters of the Gao family and Li Hongji, they are the court's bounty criminals, hurry up~!" ”

Looking at the commanding appearance of the magistrate, the centurion was very disdainful, pursed his lips, and said secretly in his heart: "Hey, arresting people is arresting people, what kind of important criminals are being rewarded by the court, what kind of official score is there with Lao Tzu~?" ”

Time passed minute by minute, and the scattered soldiers searched the Gao family to the bottom, making chickens fly and dogs jump, sows humming, things were thrown around, and when they touched bottles and cans, they poked with spears, and the door panels were kicked away, and the sound of ping-pong sounded everywhere, one after another, very arrogant, like a devil entering the village.

Soon, all the soldiers gathered again, and a Shiwu chief stepped forward, bowed and saluted, and clasped his hands into fists: "Lord Qiqi, I searched all the places, and I didn't find a single figure. ”

From beginning to end, it was about whether he could take another step forward in his career, as well as Ai Zhao's one-quarter of the family property, and Yan Zibin, the county magistrate, did not stand there stupidly, but also looked around. The search of the soldiers is also in the eyes. Therefore, he did not have any reason to reprimand. Moreover, these soldiers were only seconded and did not fall under his jurisdiction.

Seeing that the courtyard was in a mess, Yan Zibin showed a thoughtful look, seemed to have figured out something, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up and inform Master Hu, let him guard the entrance and exit of Hulu Mountain, and strictly examine those who practice martial arts, the three brothers and sisters of the Gao family and Li Hongji are very likely to disguise themselves as civilians and blend in with those people." ”

"Yes, my lord, let's go!"

With the response of a soldier, Yan Zibin ignored it, turned his head to look at the centurion, and said in a harmonious voice: "Centurion, I want to trouble you, take someone to seal this intersection into the mountain, and no one is allowed to enter or leave." ”

However, the centurion behaved very coldly, still standing there, frowning slightly, and asked in a voice: "Oh~?" Lord Zhixian, what does this mean? ”

The duck to the beak flew, Yan Zibin's heart was full of anger, and he was even more dissatisfied when he saw the centurion's attitude of not being yin or yang. If it weren't for the next action to use the other party, it would have been gone a long time ago~!

Suppressing the anger in his heart and secretly breathing a long sigh of relief, Yan Zibin said slowly: "If the four key criminals hadn't blended into that group of people, they must have fled into this hill." As long as we wait for the officials at the entrance and exit to interrogate and confirm that there is no one, integrate everyone on both sides, and it won't take two days to turn over the hill in front of you and catch them. ”

After finishing speaking, Yan Zibin was still very confident and pointed to the hill outside the courtyard, looking like he was a bamboo in his chest, and the three brothers and sisters of the Gao family and Li Hongji would never escape from the palm of his hand.
