Guobei is a small county, compared with the ancient capital of the six dynasties in Jinling, the scale is small, naturally there is not so developed commercial circulation, and the economy is not so rich.

So when Li Xiao walked on the rain-paved street paved with bluestone slabs, he could see that the shops on both sides were relatively low, compared with the bright robes and costumes of the people in Jinling County, the clothes of the people here were a little simpler, and the sound of chickens and dogs barking overshadowed the sound of selling, which was endless.

Of course, there is no eerie atmosphere in the mountains here, but a touch of fireworks popularity.

These two dusty outsiders appeared on the street, quite eye-catching, and also attracted the attention of many people, and there was even a faint hint of vigilance in their eyes.

Li Xiao didn't take these to heart, and Wu San found a roadside porridge shop, had breakfast, and after resting for a while, he went to the store and asked where the yamen of Guobei County was located.

At this time, Wu San's face showed a hint of embarrassment, leaned into Li Xiao's ear, and whispered: "Young master, I just remembered that our entanglement and the blanket were all left in the mountains, and now we are about to run out of money to pay for food." ”

Although Wu San lowered his voice as much as possible, the owner of the porridge shop at the tip of his ears still heard the voice, and after hearing this, he couldn't help frowning slightly and said, "You two shouldn't be eating here for nothing, right?" ”

"Eat for nothing? Not really. Li Xiao smiled softly with some disapproval, and threw something casually towards the porridge shop owner.

Seeing something thrown, the owner of the porridge shop subconsciously stretched out his hand to take it, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be a silver ingot, and he couldn't help but turn his anger into joy, and his smile opened.

"Thank you, guest officer, you have a good meal in the store, the guest officer walks slowly, come back when you are free!" The owner of the porridge shop hooked his waist, with a flattering smile on his face, and that look was almost eighteen miles away.

Following behind Li Xiao, Wu San showed reverence on his face, along the way, there was simply nothing that the young master couldn't do. Suddenly, Wu San's sense of reverence for the young master also came naturally, overflowing with words, and he secretly made up his mind in his heart to follow the young master forever.

……

……

According to the description of the owner of the porridge shop, after turning a few street corners, the two finally came to the outside of the yamen in Guobei County.

At this moment, there were a lot of people gathered in the county office, and outside, you could faintly hear the officials holding the ground with a killing stick, making a "mighty-martial" shouting sound.

Wu San glanced at the county hall and said, "It seems that some case is being tried." ”

"Let's go, go in and have a look."

Li Xiao nodded undeniably when he heard this, straightened his chin, and walked inside, and Wu San also followed.

It's also strange to say, when Li Xiao and Wu San walked in, they didn't see any officials coming to stop them, a county office, as if the door was open.

Squeezed into the crowd, looked into the lobby, only to see that in the lobby, the plaque hanging high in the mirror was hanging high, evasive, and the two signs of silence had been hung up.

And above the lobby, a fat-headed and big-eared county magistrate is sitting tall with a shelf, and the master standing next to him has a sharp-beaked monkey cheek, and two small eyes are dripping around, looking like a thief with eyebrows and rats, and the officials on both sides of the hall are standing crookedly one by one, and even when they are smashing the killing rod in their hands, they are also careless, and they look undignified.

After drinking Tangwei stopped, he only heard the county order, slapped it with a shocking wood, and immediately shouted to the man dressed as a scholar in the hall: "Liu Sheng, I ask you, are you guilty!" ”

Na Liu Sheng showed grievances on his face, and shouted injustice: "Lord County Order, I am the plaintiff in this case, and I came to sue Zhu Erdan, it is clear that he designed the frame, and he actually reversed his head and heart with me, so that I ended up with an ugly face, and my family did not admit the grievances, but why did the adults indiscriminately ask me for the blame as soon as they came up!" ”

"Hmph, what a big boldness, you dare to talk back to the official, first blame the cane and thirty boards!" The fat-headed county order completely ignored the other party's argument, sneered and reprimanded, raised his hand, and ordered the officials under him.

"That's it, the first cane to hit thirty boards!" The master on the side echoed.

……

……

As soon as the words fell, the two officials under the hall walked out, regardless of Liu Sheng's resistance, they directly took off his pants and held their arms, and then the other two officials were holding the killing rod, facing Liu Sheng's fart~gu, it was a severe beating, and in an instant, the court staff hit hard, mixed with Liu Sheng's screaming voice, and it was suddenly spread throughout the entire public hall.

Seeing Liu Sheng's painful expression at the court staff, the surrounding people couldn't help but cast sympathy and pity looks, but although they felt very sympathy for Liu Sheng, no one dared to support and stop it.

And the defendant in the courtroom, dressed in luxurious clothes, looked like a noble son, I saw him shaking his shoulders and looking at Liu Sheng, who was beaten in shock, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Standing in the crowd, Li Xiao's eyes wandered, and while capturing the other party's expression very keenly, he couldn't help but be puzzled, and couldn't help frowning.

"Strange, it is said that each other is born from the heart, under normal circumstances, as long as a person is good-looking and kind, then his heart will be more kind, at least it will not be bad."

"That noble boy looks delicate, and he can even be said to be relatively handsome, but what is strange is that he has a domineering, arrogant and arrogant temperament, and his face and momentum are simply like two people." Li Xiao also felt very strange about this.

Tilted his head, Li Xiao's gaze fell on Liu Sheng's body again, Liu Sheng's face looked a little ugly, and even his facial features were a little crooked, but his temperament was very gentle, knowledgeable, and ethical.

"Why is this so?"

His thoughts turned quickly, Li Xiao suddenly flashed with inspiration, thinking of what Liu Sheng said before, Li Xiao's sharp gaze was condensed, and he looked at Liu Sheng and Zhu Erdan's necks fixedly, and under careful observation, it could be found that there was a gap between the necks of the two of them, although it was very subtle, but with Li Xiao's sharp eyes and senses, it was naturally perceptible.
